A lot of accidents are tragic and nothing can stop them from happening. However, when everyone is doing their best to keep the road a safe place, there are many potential accidents that we can actually prevent. Defensive drivers know the right things to do in order to save lives on the road. What is a defensive driver? It is simply someone who makes it their aim to be safe a courteous on the road. To help you be one of them, here are some of the best driving habits of people who don't cause accidents.
It's difficult for other drivers to share the road if they do not know what you intend to do. Using your turn signal is a crucial habit that is too often forgotten. While it is only a small act, it can prevent a serious number of accidents.
Defensive drivers know when to let go of road rage and aggressive driving. While obeying the right of way is always important–and should be your default–occasionally you have to make concessions on the road, and let another driver who made a mistake cut in front of you. Even if you know they are in the wrong, it is not worth causing an accident to prove it.
Whether it is driving too fast or too slow, going against the flow of traffic is actually incredibly dangerous. If the speed limit is 70mph, and you are in the far left lane driving a casual 50 while everyone else keeps up to speed, you risk another driver not seeing you, and causing a freeway pile-up.
Distracted driving is now as serious a problem as drunk driving in the United States. Put your phone away, and don't look at it when you drive.
But that does not mean that drunk driving is not a problem anymore. On the contrary, it is still a serious issue. Various car sharing apps are seeking to rectify this problem, so next time you go out, remember not to drive!
Drowsy driving is a lesser known, but still serious issue. If you do not think that you are well rested enough to drive, don't. If you feel yourself nodding off behind the wheel, pull over and rest up before it becomes a dangerous situation.
On some occasions, a car that is poorly maintained will cause dangerous circumstances for a driver, and those around. Properly maintaining your vehicle–especially your lights–can prevent serious and potentially life-threatening problems on the road.
Don't forget that you can still enter our giveaway, and win a set of Bose earphones and a car bluetooth kit by liking us on Facebook!

Goodwill's Girls School is located at Promenade Road, Fraser Town, Bangalore Cantonment. Formerly known as the Wesleyan Tamil School, the school was renamed after Rev. Fred Goodwill, a British Missionary and Tamil scholar, who served as the manager of the school, in his capacity as superintendent of the Wesleyan Tamil Mission, Bangalore and Kolar Gold Fields.

History
The Wesleyan Tamil Mission was established in Bangalore by Rev. Elijah Hoole and James Mowatt in April 1821, with the land for the present school premises acquired in November 1821 (p. 82-83). In November 18231, Elijah Hoole of the Wesleyan Mission applied to the Government of Madras for granting permission for starting a school and preaching place for the native population in the Bangalore Cantonment. The land selected had been previously obtained for the same purpose by a member of the Wesleyan Society who had lived temporarily in the Bangalore Cantonment, and had built a mud building with a thatched roof, which was in ruins in 1821. The permission was granted and a small building measuring 30 ft. length and 13 ft. width was constructed under the supervision of Mr. Mowat.  The present premises of the school in the Bangalore Cantonment has been owned by the Wesleyan Mission since then. In the same campus, Wesleyan Mission Press was established in 1840.

In 1854, Sir. Charles Wood, president of the Board of Control, East India Company, sent out his famous Wood's Despatch to Lord Dalhousie, the then Governor-General of India, which called for major revamp in the educational system in British India, encouraging mass education for all castes (for the first time in the history of India), establishing government schools in each district, government aid to private schools, appointment of teachers and school inspectors, establishing universities at the major cities of Delhi, Bombay, Madras and Calcutta, amongst many other reforms. The Wesleyan Mission School was established in 1855, using a generous grant from the Government of Madras.

Elijah Hoole in his book Personal Narrative of a Mission to the South of India, from 1820 to 1828 acknowledges the help rendered by the British Resident in Mysore, Arthur Henry Cole, in getting the support of the Maharaja of Mysore (p. 73, 74, 84, 85, 86, 207). It could be possible that the park adjacent to the Wesleyan Tamil Mission could have been named after Cole, to acknowledge this support to the Mission as Coles Park. If that's the case, then Cole's Park has been known by that name for nearly 200 years.

The Wesleyan Mission School was established in 1855, with the main objective of educating children of native Tamil sepoys of the Madras Presidency Army, who were stationed at the Bangalore Civil and Military Station. The school was initially established on East Parade (present Manipal Centre on Dickenson Road), next to the Wesleyan Church (now CSI East Parade Church), with Ms. Little as the head mistress, with only a handful of students. The school was providing education in the native languages, along with skills such as knitting and sewing. The Wesleyan Tamil Girls School was moved to present site on Promenade Road, at the Wesley Tamil Mission compound, in 1888. By the beginning of World War I, the Wesleyan Tamil Girls School was the first all girls school in the Bangalore Civil and Military Station.

Mrs. Little's Native Girls' School
The school began on 2 September 1855, with 42 students of whom 11 were Christian, 16 non-Christian and the rest Roman Catholics. The school was started by Mrs. Little, a missionary's wife. Mrs. Little arrived in the Bangalore Civil and Military Station in 1854. Seeing the social status of women in Indian society, Mrs. Little was moved and wanted to start a school to educate Indian girl children. Her fiends in Islington, England, helped her in this cause, by sending gifts, which were sold in Bangalore, helping to raise funds to run the school for nearly 8 months. Many girl children were very happy to get an education, with Mrs. Little noting that many hardly missed classes even for a day.

The school started at 9:00 am with an assembly. At 9:30 am, children joined the servants in saying Tamil prayers led by a catechist. Proper classes began at 10:00 am. The schedule of units taught were Tamil, followed by Scripture and History (in Tamil), then Conference Catechism and Geography (in Tamil). Finally, it was the English department with easy lessons, hymns and catechism. By 12:15, the children marched into the verandah, where the attendance was taken. Then the children sang the hymn 'There Is a Happy Land'. In conclusion, the students knelt down and said the Lord's Prayer in Tamil. After which, they were dismissed to go home for Lunch. The children came back at 2:00 pm for sewing and crochet classes. Some students who lived far away were unable to come back for the afternoon session.

Mrs. Little records holding of the half yearly exams of the Native Girls' School in Bangalore on 2 July 1856. The examination in Scriptures were from Mathew Chapter 3 and 25. The other subjects examined were Tamil Geography, Tamil spellings and translation from English to Tamil. The children sang many Tamil hymns, and a few English hymns such as 'Here we suffer in grief and pain', 'There Is a Happy Land' and 'Lift up the Gospel Banner' in the tune of 'Away to School' from the 'Training School Song Book'. The exams were a private exam, and Mrs. Little hoped to have a Public Exam for the finals. In 1857, EKG, writes about a native widow, Elizabeth being sent to Bangalore from Madras to work as a teacher in Mrs. Little's School.

Mrs. Symone's Wesleyan Mission School, Ulsoor

Anne M Symone provides a description of the Wesleyan Mission Girls School in Ulsoor (Qyazi Alasoor, near the Someshwara Temple). The school was a native house with a little passage, leading to an open sky courtyard, and the house supported by pillars. A chart of the World Map in Tamil and letters of the Tamil alphabet were hung on the wall. The girls were first taught to master the letters of Tamil, which were 234 with different combinations. Sand was used to trace the letters of the alphabet. The girls were all brown, some being fairer than others, with black eyes and hair. They wore a small petticoat, and a ravaky (short body, just reaching short of the waist), with no hats or footwear. Jewelry worn were nose-studs, earrings, anklets, silver belts, gold necklaces. All instructions were given in Tamil. The teacher rode a pony from Shoolay to reach the school in Ulsoor. The schools were funded by donations from England.

The Wesleyan Mission Girls School in Ulsoor had 50–60 native girls, from families in the Ulsoor neighbourhood. The school building cost GBP 60, paid for by sale of articles sent to Mrs. Catherine Male (wife of Matthew Trevan Male) from supporters in Stockport, Richmond, Manchester, Acton, etc. (Catherine wife of Matthew Trevan Male of the Wesleyan Missionary Society who died on 29 August 1865 aged 49 and Fanny Lees child of Catherine and Matthew Male born 29 January 1861 and died 24 April 1861, are buried at the Agram Protestant Cemetery, Bangalore)

The school in Ulsoor was for the higher caste girls, who refused to study with the lower caste. Mrs. Symon further writes about the annual examination which was held on 22 December 1865, were the students were examined for basic maths, Tamil Poetry, Tamil grammar and Geography. The school had 71 students now, and they had learned sewing and produced 86 garments. At this instance, a letter written by one of the students (P Marneekummal) to Mrs. Symon was read out. Dolls, bags, boxes were distributed as prizes and children were given cakes and fruit.

The Ulsoor Wesleyan Mission School was closed in around 1954, and the school and staff were transferred to the Goodwills School at Promenade Road.

Wesley Tamil Church, Haines Road
William Sproston Caine in his book 'Picturesque India: a Handbook for European Travellers', published in 1890, describes the Wesleyan Tamil School on Promenade Road, Cleveland Town, St. John's Hill as being headed by a missionary. The missionary's house is recorded to being just next to the boarding school. The missionary was being assisted by a native preacher, zenana visitors, catechists, and bible women. The principal chapel of the mission is described as being at Haines Road, and another Wesleyan chapel being constructed at Shoolay (Wesley Tamil Church, Commisionarant Road). The other Wesleyan Tamil schools in the Bangalore Civil and Military Station were English boys middle school in the Cantonment bazaar (Methodist Mission High School, Dharmaraja Kovil St.), Anglo-Vernacular schools in Shoolay and Mootocherry, five Tamil schools, and five day-schools for girls (pp. 522–523).

Fred Goodwill

Documentation of the life of Rev. Fred Goodwill was done after extensive research by his grand daughter Jane Smith. Fred was born on 20 February 1874, to Elizabeth and Thomas Goodwill, Yorkshire, UK. Fred arrived in India in 1899, posted as the superintendent of the Wesleyan Tamil Mission, Bangalore and Kolar Gold Fields. Fred was a scholar of the Tamil Language, and was also fluent in Canarese (Kannada) and Telagu (Telugu). Fred is acknowledged as an authority on Tamil Shaiva Literature, with authors quoting from his research. As one of the founding members of the Mythic Society, his published papers on the history of the Mysore State form the basis of history of the State, as we know it now. Fred was a keen photographer, who documented life in the British Bangalore Cantonment, in the early 1900s. His photos published as Tuck's Postcards, provide a valuable documentation of the history of the Bangalore Civil and Military Station. His 26 years service to the Wesleyan Mission saw his campaign strongly for the cause of women's education beyond class and caste.

In his 26 years in India, Rev. Fred Goodwill contributed immensely to the education and progress of Tamil literature in Bangalore Cantonment. His name is associated with books on Tamil Literature published around that period in British India, and Fred Goodwill authored many academic articles on Tamil Literature, which were published in Journals. Fred's articles on Tamil literature are mainly on the Shaivism philosophy, Tiruvacakam, the poetry of the Shavite Saints Tirunavukkarasar, Manikkavacakar, Sundarar and Sambandar. Research done by Fred Goodwill is quoted by works of later authors of Dravidian culture, Shaiva Siddhanta and Ancient Tamil literature, along with that of George Uglow Pope. About the Tamil poetry and literature on Saiva Siddhanta he remarked "'Those who have studied the system unanimously agree that this eulogy is not a whit too enthusiastic or free worded. That the system is eclectic is at once apparent".

Fred and the Wesleyan Mission School
In British India, education of the girl child was considered a taboo by Hindus as well as Indian Christians. The Wesleyan Tamil Girls School, Bangalore was established in 1851. Around fifty years later, Fred Goodwill built on its foundations and improved the school to a great extent. In 1906, Fred Goodwill began to assist the principal of the school Ms. Sisterson, eventually becoming its manager. His wife, Alice also got actively involved in educating the children and took time to teach needlework and crafts. Fred Goodwill was keen to stress to importance of education of girls irrespective of any caste barriers in the Bangalore Cantonment. He once wrote in "preparing girls for future work we remember that we are preparing workers to hasten the time when foreign missionaries will be a thing of the past". In respect for his work at the Wesleyan Girls Tamil School was renamed as Goodwills Girls School.

Present Status
The school is trying to stay relevant to the cause of providing education to girls. It has now been upgraded to junior college and degree college in its compound. There are nearly 1200 girl children studying in the school. The school's original stone structure (built in 1888) still stands and is a prominent landmark of the Cantonment. An auditorium and a chapel has been added to the school, and also a library named after Ms. Little. The school once imparted education in Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. However, it now offers only English Medium Education.

Le phtalonitrile, ou 1,2-dicyanobenzène, est un composé organique de formule chimique . Il s'agit d'un solide cristallisé inodore de couleur beige ou blanc cassé à température ambiante. C'est un dérivé du benzène portant deux substituants nitrile adjacents, en position ortho. Il est peu soluble dans l'eau mais se dissout bien dans les solvants organiques courants. Il est utilisé comme précurseur de la phtalocyanine d'autres pigments, azurants fluorescents et sensibilisateurs photographiques.

Synthèse

Il est produit industriellement par un procédé en continu en une étape par ammoxydation de l' à . La réaction est catalysée par de l'oxyde de vanadium(V)-trioxyde d'antimoine dans un réacteur à lit fluidisé.

Le phtalonitrile a été décrit pour la première fois en 1896 comme un sous-produit de la synthèse de l' via la réaction du chlorhydrate d', du nitrite de sodium et de l'acide chlorhydrique. La première synthèse intentionnelle du composé impliquait la déshydratation du phtalamide par ébullition dans l'anhydride acétique. Une autre synthèse ayant un intérêt historique est la  à partir d'un dihalobenzène ortho-substitué est traité avec du , ce qui entraîne le remplacement des groupes halogénure par des groupes cyanure.

Applications

Le phtalonitrile est précurseur des pigments de phtalocyanine, qui forment une famille de pigments organiques répandue. Ils sont produits par réaction du phtalonitrile avec divers précurseurs métalliques. La réaction est effectuée dans un solvant à environ .

L'ammonolyse du phtalonitrile donne la diiminoisoindoline. Cette condensation intermédiaire avec des composés de méthylène actifs donne le  et le  qui sont commercialement importants. Le phtalonitrile est également utilisé dans la fabrication de pesticides, comme additif stabilisant dans l'avgas et dans l'industrie du caoutchouc, et comme précurseur pour la production d'azurants optiques et de sensibilisateurs pour la photographie.

The Resilient Cardinals Return
Author: Parker Webster Published Date: March 4, 2021
The Ball State Women's Soccer team is finally gearing up to kick off the 2021 season on Thursday, March 4.
It's been 487 days since the Cardinals took the field after achieving the best record in team history of 15-5. In just his first season as head coach, Josh Rife led the Cardinals to a second place finish in the Mid-American Conference standings with a total of 24 points on the table.
Ball State scored 34 goals last season and had a team-high 11 players earn Academic All-MAC honors.
The team consistently surprised Rife each and every day through last season. The second year head coach has been a part of quite a lot of successful teams. He played at Texas Christian University and Indiana University, before moving on to play professionally from 2003-2013.
"I have been really fortunate," Rife said. "I have been a part of a lot of special teams, but I would say what last year's team had that is similar to all those teams is the belief and finding a way to win."
Over the extended summer Rife stayed busy on the phone and wrote emails to fellow coaches of the game, whether he knew them or not.
One of his former teammates and former coaching 'rivals' being the United States women's national team head coach Vlatdko Andonovski. He talked with him to learn more leadership tips and put a simpler philosophy together for the team.
As the pandemic is the reason for this 2020 season being postponed, the Cardinals were able to overcome the adversity of bringing in a new group and staying ready to go on their own.
"I think the level of gratitude and thankfulness these ladies have shown to the game have been pretty remarkable," Rife said. "Connecting with our freshmen and helping with the transition again, this group continues to step up in those moments and help out wherever they can."
The need to have the desire to reach out and keep everyone on the same page was not hard for this team. The older players on the team did not hesitate to reach out to the freshman to make them feel right at home, even during uncertain times.
There are 10 freshmen joining the Cardinals this spring. The group is Rife's first complete recruiting class since taking over as head coach in 2019. The group has come in to not only bring their talent but also display incredible self-discipline to show up to campus ready to go from day one.
Rife mentioned this freshman class having a bit of a chip on their shoulder coming in this past fall.
Rife acknowledged it was not just him doing all the recruiting, but even senior midfielder and defender Shelby Kean knowing Ball State senior diver, Caitlin Locante. Using that connection to help her younger sister freshman Ryann Locante make the decision to be a Cardinal.
Both the veteran players and the incoming players all have a common goal of making each other better. Rife has enjoyed the competitive atmosphere among the team.
"They want to live out excellence," said the Ball State head coach. "The root of competition actually isn't opposing it's striving together. They wanna help the program be better."
The team's hard work is paying off for this mountain they have collectively climbed together.
"We are more fit than we have ever been, we are more stronger than we have ever been." Rife said.
With the season just under way, Rife has some clear goals in store for this team.
"No secret here," Rife said. "This is a group that wants to go win a MAC title. If we do that, the NCAA tournament comes next. They have the daily commitment to get better, to be ready for anything."
The Cardinals are predicted to finish first in the West Division, and second in the MAC according to the preseason polls.
The season is set to begin Thursday, March 4 at 3 p.m. at the Briner Sports Complex against the Rockets of Toledo.

Those are nice, I used to have an early 14-18 one out of 800 silver, and a TR era 14-18 one, but never had a 39-45 one.
I had 2 1914's but ended up selling them again.
I had a total of 3 with this set-up, one was an upgrade so I sold 1.
Very nice and rare. Still missing this one. Did one of them come from Giel?
No, none of them came from Giel.
I don't recall where I did get them, I think on a german forum or auction.
There's also a Schinkel with this hardware, those are basically impossible to find.
Yes, sorry. Found the picture from about ten years ago when Giel sold his and it was a different one.
Got one of the Meybauer Schinkel SB. Posted it a long time ago on the WAF. Need to dig up the pictures.
Very good, that is one of about 5 I know of.


The 2019-low (1.1290) remains on the radar for EUR/USD as it extends the bearish sequence from earlier this week, but fresh data prints coming out of the euro-area may produce range-bound conditions as Germany, Europe's largest economy, returns to growth.
Updates to Germany's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) report are anticipated to show the economy expanding 0.1% in the fourth-quarter of 2018 after contracting 0.2% during the three-months through September, and a positive development may generate a bullish reaction in EUR/USD as the region skirts a technical recession.
A positive development may offer the ECB a bit of relief ahead of the next meeting on March 7 as the central bank concludes its easing-cycle, but President Mario Draghi & Co. appear reluctant to abandon the zero-interest rate policy (ZIRP) as the Governing Council struggles to achieve its one and only mandate for price stability.
In turn, the ECB may continue to tame bets for a rate-hike as euro-area interest rates are expect 'to remain at their present levels at least through the summer of 2019,' and EUR/USD stands at risk of facing a more bearish fate over the coming months as the 304K rise in U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) puts pressure on the Federal Reserve to further normalize monetary policy.
It remains to be seen if the recent shift in Fed rhetoric will persist as the U.S. economy shows little to no signs of an imminent recession, and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) may find it difficult to defend the sudden change in forward-guidance as Chairman Jerome Powell & Co. pledge to be 'data dependent.' As a result, EUR/USD may continue to consolidate over the near-term as both the Fed and ECB endorse a wait-and-see approach for monetary policy, with the 2019-low (1.1290) on the radar as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) snaps the bullish formation carried over from late-2018. Sign up and join DailyFX Currency Analyst David Song LIVE for an opportunity to discuss potential trade setups.
Keep in mind, the near-term outlook for EUR/USD remains constructive as it breaks out of the range-bound price action from November, but the failed attempt to close above 1.1510 (38.2% expansion) raises the risk for a larger pullback as the exchange rate extends the series of lower highs & lows from earlier this week.
In turn, 1.1290 (61.8% expansion) sits on the radar, with a break/close below the stated region raising the risk for a move towards 1.1220 (78.6% retracement), which lines up with the 2018-low (1.1216).

\section{Introduction}
In string theory, a T-duality transformation is usually performed with
respect to a space-time coordinate (say $\theta$), provided the massless
background fields are invariant under translations in the
$\theta$-direction. The dual theories are different space-time
manifestations of the same superconformal field theory. To study the
full theory, one has to go beyond the massless background fields and
find how other objects and vertex operators in the theory map under
duality. It so happens that when an object is not invariant under a
$\theta$-translation, then in the dual theory, it is always realized
non-locally\cite{K}. This effect can be easily studied when
T-duality is implemented by a canonical transformation in the
worldsheet theory\cite{GRV}. Of particular interest is the behaviour
of extended worldsheet supersymmetries and their associated target
space supersymmetries under a T-duality transformation. When the
supersymmetry charges are invariant under translations in the
coordinate $\theta$, then a duality with respect to $\theta$ does not
give rise to non-local effects and the supersymmetries are
preserved\cite{H1,KIR,BOK}. In \cite{H2} (see also\cite{BS}), we
studied the general situation where the supercharges can depend on
$\theta$ and addressed the issue of non-local realizations of
supersymmetry. This talk contains a summary of the results appearing
in this paper and is organised a follows: First, we formulate
T-duality as a canonical transformation in an $N=1$ supersymmetric
non-linear $\sigma$-model. Then we consider theories with extended
supersymmetry on the worldsheet and obtain the non-local objects which
replace the $\theta$-dependent complex structures in the dual theory.
Using these results, we investigate the effects of this non-locality
on the associated target space supersymmetry.
\section{T-Duality as a Canonical Transformation in Supersymmetric
  Theories}
Let us consider massless bosonic background fields $G_{MN}, B_{MN}$
($M,N=1,..., D$) and $\Phi$, which do not depend on one of the target
space coordinates, denoted by $X^1=\theta$, but may have a
dependence on the remaining coordinates $X^{i+1}=x^i; i=1,...,D-1$.
Under a T-duality transformation with respect to $\theta$, the
background fields $G_{MN}$ and $B_{MN}$ transform as
\begin{eqnarray}
&\widetilde G_{\theta \theta} = G^{-1}_{\theta\theta},\qquad
(\widetilde G\pm\widetilde B)_{\theta i}=\mp G^{-1}_{\theta\theta}(G\pm B)_{\theta i},&
\nonumber\\
\label{dual}
&(\widetilde G+\widetilde B)_{ij}=(G+B)_{ij}-
G^{-1}_{\theta\theta}(G-B)_{\theta i}(G+B)_{\theta j}.&
\end{eqnarray}
To write down the transformation of the torsionful connections
$\Omega^{\pm K}_{MN}=\Gamma^K_{MN} \pm {1\over 2} G^{KL}H_{LMN}$
under duality, we introduce two $D\times D$ matrices $Q_\pm$ given by
\cite{H1}:
\begin{equation}
\label{Qs}
Q_\pm =\left(
\begin{array}{cc}\mp G_{\theta\theta} & \mp(G\mp B)_{\theta i} \\
                      0             &  1_{D-1}
\end{array}\right).
\end{equation}
Using these, the transformation under duality of the metric and the
torsionful connections can be written as
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{dmetric}
&\widetilde G^{-1} = Q_- G^{-1} Q_-^T = Q_+ G^{-1} Q_+^T ,& \\
\label{dconnec}
&\widetilde\Omega^{\pm M}_{NK}=(Q^{-1}_\mp)^{N'}_{~N}\,(Q^{-1}_\pm)^{K'}_{~K}
\,(Q_\mp)^M_{~M'}\, \Omega^{\pm M'}_{N'K'}
-\delta^i_K\,(\partial_i\,Q_\mp\,Q^{-1}_\mp)^M_{~N}.&
\end{eqnarray}
Now, consider the bosonic non-linear $\sigma$-model and let $p_\theta$
denote the momentum canonically conjugate to $\theta$. The duality
transformations (\ref{dual}) then follow from the canonical
transformation
\begin{equation}
\label{ct-b}
\widetilde \theta'=-p_\theta\,, \qquad \widetilde p_\theta = - \theta'\,,
\qquad\widetilde x^i = x^i \,.
\end{equation}
It is clear from the above that the relation between $\theta$ and
$\widetilde\theta$ is, in general, non-local.

In the following, we want to generalize the above procedure to the
case of $N=1$ supersymmetric non-linear $\sigma$-models defined by the
action:
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{action}
S&=&{1\over 2}\int d^2 \sigma \big[ (G_{MN}+B_{MN})\partial_+ X^M \partial_-X^N
-i\psi_+^M G_{MN}(\delta_K^N\partial_- + \Omega^{+N}_{LK}\partial_-X^L)\psi_+^K
\nonumber \\
&-&i \psi_-^M G_{MN}(\delta_K^N\partial_+ + \Omega^{-N}_{LK}\partial_+X^L)\psi_-^K
+{1\over 2} \psi_+^M \psi_+^N \psi_-^K \psi_-^L R_{MNKL}(\Omega^-)
\big].
\end{eqnarray}
Here, $R_{MNKL}(\Omega^\pm)$ are the curvature tensors corresponding
to the torsionful connections $\Omega^{\pm M}_{NK}$. The above action
has a default $(1,1)$ supersymmetry under which the fields transform as
\begin{equation}
\label{N=1}
\delta_\mp X^M =\pm i \epsilon_\mp\psi_\pm^M ,\quad
\delta_\mp\psi_\pm^M =\pm\partial_\pm X^M\epsilon_\mp ,\quad
\delta_\mp\psi_\mp^M =\mp i\psi_\mp^N\epsilon_\mp
\Omega^{\pm M}_{NK} \psi_\pm^K .
\end{equation}
To preserve this $N=1$ supersymmetry under duality, we have to
supplement the canonical transformation (\ref{ct-b}) (where $p_\theta$
is now defined using the $N=1$ supersymmetric action) with the
appropriate transformations of the worldsheet fermions. In terms of
the bosonic and fermionic coordinates, the resulting canonical
transformation can now be written as
\begin{equation}
\label{ct}
\widetilde\psi_\pm^M = Q^M_{\pm N}\psi_\pm^N ,\qquad
\partial_\pm\widetilde\theta=Q^\theta_{\pm M}\,\partial_\pm X^M +i\psi^j_\pm\,\partial_j
Q^\theta_{\pm M}\,\psi^M_\pm .
\end{equation}
Using the $N=1$ superfields $\Phi^M$, this takes the form
\begin{equation}
\label{superfield}
D_\pm\,\widetilde\Phi^M = Q^M_{\pm N}(\Phi)\,D_\pm\,\Phi^N .
\end{equation}
The conservation of the $\theta$-isometry current leads to
$\partial_+\partial_-\widetilde\theta=\partial_-\partial_+\widetilde\theta$. This implies that, in
spite of the non-local relation between $\theta$ and $\widetilde\theta$, on
shell, the dual coordinate is a local function of the worldsheet
coordinates $\sigma^\pm$.

Since the fermion couplings in (\ref{action}) are entirely determined
by the $N=1$ supersymmetry, the canonically transformed action has the
same form as the original action (\ref{action}) with the backgrounds
$G_{MN}, B_{MN}$ replaced by their dual counterparts as given by
(\ref{dual}). Now, comparing the two actions, we obtain a compact
expression for the transformation of the generalized curvature tensor:
\begin{equation}
\label{dualcurv}
Q_{+M}^{M'}Q_{+N}^{N'}Q_{-K}^{K'}Q_{-L}^{L'}\widetilde R_{MNKL}(\widetilde\Omega^-)
= R_{MNKL}(\Omega^-)
-2 G^{-1}_{\theta\theta}\partial_{[N}^{}Q^{\theta}_{+M]}
\partial_{[L}^{}Q^{\theta}_{-K]} .
\end{equation}
\section{T-Duality and Non-Local Extended Supersymmetry on the\\
  Worldsheet}
Let $J^M_N$ denote a complex structure on the target space
($J^2 =-1$) and define $\psi^{(J)M}_\pm=J^M_{\pm N}\psi^N_{\pm}$. The
invariance of the action (\ref{action}), under the replacement
$\psi^M_\pm\rightarrow \psi^{(J)M}_\pm$, requires that $J^TGJ=G$ and
$\nabla^{\pm} J =0$. Here, the covariant derivatives contain the
torsionful connections. If these relations hold, then the theory admits
a second set of supersymmetry transformations, which are obtained from
the $N=1$ transformations (\ref{N=1}) by the same replacement
$\psi^M_\pm\rightarrow \psi^{(J)M}_\pm$.

The effect of T-duality on the extended worldsheet supersymmetries can
be studied by requiring that this second set of supersymmetry
transformations of the original theory imply a similar set of
transformations for the dual theory. When $\partial_{\theta}J$ is not
necessarily zero, we find that under duality the complex structures
$J_{\pm}(\theta, x^i)$  transform to non-local objects $\widetilde J_{\pm}$
given by
\begin{equation}
\label{Jnlocal}
\widetilde J_{\pm}([\widetilde\theta, x^i],x^i)
 = Q_{\pm} J_\pm(\theta[\widetilde\theta, x^i],x^i) Q^{-1}_\pm .
\end{equation}
Here, $\theta[\widetilde\theta, x^i]$ is the usual notation for the
functional dependence of $\theta$ on $\widetilde\theta$ and $x^i$ with the
explicit relation given by the second equation in (\ref{ct}).
Note that when $\partial_{\theta} J =0$, this reduces to the known
transformation of $J$ as obtained in \cite{H1,KIR}. However, in
general, $\widetilde J_\pm$ has a non-local dependence on the coordinates of
the dual target space $\{\widetilde X^M\}=\{\widetilde\theta,\,x^i\}$. The condition
of the covariant constancy of the complex structure now gets modified
to
\begin{eqnarray}
&\partial_\theta \widetilde J^M_{\pm N}+\widetilde G^{-1}_{\widetilde\theta\widetilde\theta}\,
\left(\widetilde \Omega^{\pm M}_{\widetilde\theta L}\,\widetilde J^L_{\pm N}
-\widetilde J^M_{\pm L}\,\widetilde\Omega^{\pm L}_{\widetilde\theta N}\right) =0,&
\nonumber\\
&\widetilde\nabla^\pm_i\,\widetilde J^M_{\pm N} \pm (\widetilde G\pm \widetilde B)_{\widetilde\theta i}
\,\partial_\theta \widetilde J^M_{\pm N} =0.&
\label{nlcov}
\end{eqnarray}
Note that these equations contain derivatives of $\widetilde J_{\pm}$ with
respect to $\theta$ and not with respect to the natural coordinate on
the dual space, which is $\widetilde\theta$.

Even when the extended supersymmetry becomes non-local under duality,
the extended superconformal algebra remains unchanged. However, this
algebra is now realized in terms of non-local supercharges, and the
representation becomes non-local. Such non-local representations in a
class of conformal field theories were constructed in terms of
parafermions in \cite{Kounnas}.  There are several explicit examples
known in which a part of the extended supersymmetry becomes non-local
under duality \cite{Bakas,BS,BOK}.

\section{Implications for Target Space Supersymmetry}
A configuration of the bosonic background fields admits $N=1$
space-time supersymmetry provided the supersymmetric variations of the
gravitino ($\Psi_M$) and dilatino ($\lambda$) fields vanish. Let us
consider $\delta\Psi_M=0$, which leads to the Killing spinor equation
\begin{equation}
\label{gravitino}
\delta \Psi_M=\partial_M\eta +{1\over 4}\left(\omega^{AB}_M -
{1\over 2} H_M^{~~AB}\right) \gamma_{AB}\,\eta =0 .
\end{equation}
Here, $\omega_M^{AB}$ is the spin connection and $A,B$ are tangent
space indices. When the target space supersymmetry is a consequence of
an extended supersymmetry on the worldsheet, then the complex
structure $J$ and the Killing spinor $\eta$ are related by
\cite{Strominger}
\begin{equation}
\label{ts-ws}
J^M_{+N} = \bar\eta\,\gamma^M_{~N}\,\eta .
\end{equation}
The Killing spinor condition then implies that $\nabla^+_M
J^K_{+N}=0$. Equation (\ref{ts-ws}) can be used to study the effect of
T-duality on space-time supersymmetry. In the following, we describe
the three cases that may arise:

\noindent {\it Case 1}\,: Here, $\partial_\theta\eta =0$, which implies
$\partial_\theta J_+ =0$. In this case, $\eta$ is invariant under duality
(up to a possible local Lorentz transformation). The Killing spinor
condition and hence the supersymmetry are preserved.

\noindent{\it Case 2}\,: If $\partial_\theta J_\pm \ne 0$, then
$\partial_\theta \eta\ne 0$. In this case, the extended worldsheet
supersymmetry is non-locally realized after duality. Equation
(\ref{ts-ws}) then implies that in the dual theory $\eta$ is replaced
by a non-local object $\widetilde\eta$, given by
\begin{equation}
\label{deta}
\widetilde \eta ([\widetilde\theta, x],x) = \eta (\theta[\widetilde\theta,x],x) .
\end{equation}
The Killing spinor condition is modified to
\begin{eqnarray}
&\partial_\theta\,\widetilde\eta+{1 \over 4}\widetilde G^{-1}_{\widetilde\theta\widetilde\theta}\,
\left(\,\widetilde\omega^{AB}_{\widetilde\theta} - {1\over 2}
\widetilde H_{\widetilde\theta}^{~~AB}\,\right)\gamma_{AB}\,\widetilde\eta =0,&
\nonumber\\
&\partial_i\widetilde\eta +{1\over 4} \left(\,\widetilde\omega^{AB}_i -
{1\over 2}\widetilde H_i^{~~AB}\,\right) \gamma_{AB}\,\widetilde\eta
+\,(\widetilde G+\widetilde B)_{\widetilde\theta i}\,
\partial_\theta\,\widetilde\eta = 0.&
\label{nlgravitino}
\end{eqnarray}
This indicates that the target space supersymmetry is no longer
realized in the conventional way.

\noindent{\it Case 3}\,: The only other possibility is when $\eta$
depends on $\theta$ in such a way that the $\theta$-dependences on the
right-hand side of (\ref{ts-ws}) cancel out, giving rise to a
$\theta$-independent $J$. In this case, in the dual theory, the
extended worldsheet supersymmetry is locally realized while the
associated target space supersymmetry has a non-local realization.

The realization of supersymmetry in cases 2 and 3 is highly
non-conventional. Due to their non-local nature, these transformations
make sense only when the coordinates are restricted to the string
worldsheet, and not at a generic space time point. Since the
background fields are invariant under supersymmetry, the non-locality
does not show up as long as we are looking at the vacuum
configurations. However, the supersymmetry will be non-locally
realized on the spectrum of fluctuations around these backgrounds,
which are the relevant quantum fields for the low-energy theory.

In string theory, equivalence under T-duality is a consequence of
the existence of both momentum and winding modes associated with the
compact coordinate $\theta$. It is well known that under duality these
modes are interchanged: The conserved momentum $P_\theta$ and the
winding number $L_\theta$ associated with the compact coordinate
$\theta$ (with non-trivial $\pi_1$) are given by $P_\theta =
\int_0^{2\pi} d\sigma p_\theta$ and $L_\theta=\theta(\sigma=2\pi)-
\theta(\sigma=0)$. Then, from the canonical transformation
(\ref{ct}), it follows that $\widetilde P_\theta=-L_\theta$ and $\widetilde
L_\theta=-P_\theta$.  Since the momentum and winding modes are
associated with the worldsheet coordinates $\tau$ and $\sigma$,
respectively, their interchange under duality is the origin of the
non-local relationship between $\theta$ and $\widetilde\theta$. This can be
easily seen when the backgrounds are flat and one can write $\theta=
\theta_L + \theta_R$, whereas $\widetilde\theta = \theta_L-\theta_R = \int
d\sigma^+ \partial_+\theta - \int d\sigma_- \partial_-\theta$.  As for the
behaviour of supersymmetry, note that the parameter $\eta(\theta,x)$
is sensitive to the string momentum and winding modes associated with
$\theta$. The non-locality in the dual theory arises from the fact
that the momentum and winding modes of the dual string enter
$\widetilde\eta$ not through $\widetilde\theta$ (which would have resulted in a
local spinor $\widetilde\eta (\widetilde\theta)$), but through the original
coordinate $\theta$.

Years ago Virgil's BBQ was one of my favorite restaurants in New York City. There wasn't much if any, barbeque in NYC at the time so Virgil's felt almost like a delicacy.
I have many many fond memories and fuzzy times at Virgil's in New York. For that reason alone I can't wait for Virgil's BBQ to open at The Linq.
Ever since Carmine's opened at Caesars Palace a couple of years ago there have been rumors about Virgil's opening since they're operated by the same company. It looks like the rumors will finally come true. The rendering above looks cool. I can't wait to see the real thing.
Alicart Restaurant Group will expand the company's presence in Las Vegas with the addition of Virgil's Real Barbecue at The LINQ Promenade, opening in the summer of 2016. Boasting locations in New York City and at Atlantis in the Bahamas, Virgil's will expand west, joining Carmine's NYC's Legendary Family Style Italian Restaurant, which the company opened at The Forum Shops at Caesars in 2013.
The Las Vegas location of Virgil's will span 14,000 square feet and be highlighted by live music programming nightly, private dining rooms seating up to 300 guests and three outdoor spaces, including a poolside patio at The LINQ Hotel & Casino.
The menu from Executive Chef Neal Corman, author of Virgil's Barbecue Road Trip Cookbook, features the world famous BBQ tastes of Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, the Carolina's and Missouri to offer a true sampling of barbecue in its many and varied regional interpretations. The menu was developed after extensive research in the back roads of the south and highlights the best of the local styles including Memphis pork ribs and chicken, Carolina pulled pork and Texas beef brisket.
Virgil's meats are smoked at a low temperature over indirect heat for up to ten hours with a unique mix of hickory, oak and fruit woods in order to impart the most flavor and to keep the meat from drying out. To complement the main menu of BBQ specialties, Virgil's also offers a generous selection of traditional sides like barbecue beans, coleslaw and cheese grits and Southern-style desserts like banana pudding and Key Lime and sweet potato pies.
When I think of ultra exclusive restaurants in New York City I think of Rao's and Mr. Chow. It's almost impossible to get a table at either restaurant unless you're super rich, famous or both. While Rao's in New York is famous because it has fantastic food and only 6 tables but Mr. Chow is different. Mr. Chow is a decent sized restaurant for New York and more famous for being famous. Kinda like Kim Kardashian.
Many moons ago I had a celebratory dinner at Mr. Chow and I couldn't have been more stoked. Why? Forget any other famous person that may have been dining along side of my group – Jay-Z was in the house! Jay-Z came up to the table as smooth as can be to say hi and congratulate our table on being awesome. Then he knocked over someone's water and said something that made him appear even smoother. I don't think I was the only person who was a little swoony.
5 year's ago Mr. Chow was being planned to open at either The Harmon or Vdara at City Center. Well, things have changed and Mr. Chow will now open next year at Caesars Palace which also is home to Rao's. If someone wants to do something awesome together and celebrate at Mr. Chow, I'm down! Otherwise, you have a better chance of catching me at another New York favorite at Caesars Palace, Carmines.
Caesars Palace is pleased to announce internationally renowned MR CHOW is expected to open its seventh restaurant location in early 2015. The luxurious Beijing cuisine eatery will be located in the impressive second story space currently occupied by Empress Court, which will close this spring.
With locations in Malibu, Beverly Hills, New York, Miami and London, MR CHOW has conceptualized and perfected refined Beijing cuisine dining with European style service. The menu will feature beloved dishes such as the Chicken Satay, Green Prawns, hand-pulled MR CHOW Noodles and famed Beijing Duck.
Not only will the menu feature signature MR CHOW dishes, but also a selection of specialty cocktails made with fresh ingredients and carefully crafted by a team of mixologists.
MR CHOW guests will enter through a set of private elevators, located on the casino floor level of Caesars Palace. The restaurant will be located on the second story, which will overlook the Garden of the Gods pool oasis. With design credits including boutiques for Giorgio Armani, Mr. Chow's keen sense of design is sure to be reflected in the space.
Every day I wake up and check the tweets from overnight and early morning. It's the most peaceful time of the day on twitter because there's usually no breaking news at 6am in Las Vegas. It allows me to learn a little and catch up with people. This morning's education came from Caesars Palace.
When I was growing up Caesars Palace always seemed like the most grand place I could stay in Las Vegas. I stayed at Caesars Palace once and realized that I didn't like the layout and have only returned once. The hotel and casino have expanded and been renovated so much, and in such a mish mosh pattern, over the years it's difficult to really get a good vibe.
I did enjoy my stay in the Augustus Tower but that's because I felt like I wasn't staying at Caesars Palace. The Augustus Tower almost feels closer to Bellagio, across the street, than to the Caesars Palace casino. That's probably a good thing, but I digress.
Caesars Palace has stood the test of time and is still seen as one of the best hotels in Las Vegas. While I may not agree with the general opinion there's something to be said for that kind of longevity in this fickle city.
I think I'll celebrate Caesars Palace with some chicken parm at Carmine's in the Forum Shops! HUZZAH!


A lot would be true in an ideal world. For West — chairman of the board of directors for the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes — that world would never have seen the museum property sold in January.
Furthermore, in an ideal world, the museum wouldn't be facing eviction in August.
Sitting around the council chambers, members of staff, council, and a packed audience of community members were in attendance to the meeting, called on Tuesday by Mayor Bryan Paterson to deal with a new and time-sensitive proposal for the museum.
The proposal was two-fold: first, to move the museum temporarily to Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, and second, to relocate the historic Alexander Henry ship to the dock of Picton Terminals.
The second item caused the hasty call to a meeting, needing to be done before water levels lower.
Within 10 months, a report would be given to council on the feasibility, costs, and financing of turning the ship into an artificial dive reef in Lake Ontario. For West, the proposal was the result of "intense and extremely productive discussion" between the museum and the city.
"I fully endorse the report before you. Your staff's recommendations represent the possible. An opportunity to save the museum that I urge you to seize immediately," he said.
For members of council, the discussion was quick and succinct.
"We can agree I think that the people of Kingston are all speaking in one voice, which is that something needs to be done to help the marine museum," Councillor Peter Stroud said.
He was happy with the work done on such a "tight timeline." However, he did caution that council would need to think about what happens at the end of the temporary arrangements.
A major concern came from how the city could ensure the marine museum kept up with their end of the costs in the shared financing for the project.
Commissioner Lanie Hurdle assured that if the costs promised by the museum — 50% of the full $326,000 — were not raised in one year, the city was prepared to discuss a long-term loan and front the costs themselves to preserve the museum and its heritage.
Deputy Mayor Richard Allen raised concern about what happens if the Alexander Henry was unable to be moved, to which Hurdle replied that they could only go with what the experts had said, which was that they have the "ability and capacity" to move it.
Mayor Paterson then raised questions of his own, beginning with requesting more information on the "range of possibility" for what the dive reef option might cost compared to disposal.
Hurdle was unsure of the costs of "cleaning the ship and sinking it," but indicated that it would likely be a significant investment. An assessment would be done to report back.
"I've always advocated for joint responsibility," he said. "The city is willing to partner. We can't cover all the costs, but we can help." He smiled when adding that he was "cheering" for the dive reef option.
"I think that would be really cool," he said. Shortly following, council went to a vote — with two absences — and in a unanimous outcome, the decision was made.
The marine museum is now set to relocate, before the water level drops.

"Yes, we are all lost and wandering in the thick mists. We have no destinations. The city is without outlines. And the drift of figures is a meaningless thing. Figures that are going nowhere and coming from nowhere. A swarm of supernumeraries who are not in the play. Who saunter, dash, scurry, hesitate in search of a part in the play." —from 1001 Afternoons in Chicago. Ben Hecht (1894—1964) was a reporter and columnist for the Chicago Daily Journal and the Chicago Daily News as well as a playwright, novelist, short story writer, and scriptwriter. . . .
Granta magazine's latest issue is all about our fair city of Chicago, featuring fiction, poetry, literary non-fiction and photography by a number of renown contributors, including Press authors like Nelson Algren, Stuart Dybek, Anne Winters, and Roger Ebert (for the online edition only). Demonstrating the city's role beyond its reputation as "the hog butcher of the world" or the playground of famous gangsters like Al Capone and John Dillinger, Granta's Chicago edition focuses on the city, in acting editor John Freeman's words, "as a microcosm for America" and "a nexus for world culture." To celebrate the launch of the issue Granta has canvassed some of the best local bookstores and asked them to provide a list of their five favorite books about Chicago. Currently the Granta website is showcasing the selections from 57th Street books. 57th Street's five selections: The Lazarus Project by Aleksandar Hemon, Boss: Richard J. Daley of Chicago by Mike Royko, Division Street: America by Studs Terkel, as well as two recently published by the Press: Neil Harris's The Chicagoan: A Lost Magazine of the Jazz Age, and D.

In January we announced the birth of the new series "South Asia Across the Disciplines"—a unique collaborative publication effort between Columbia University Press, the University of California Press, and the University of Chicago Press designed to increase publication opportunities for emerging scholars in the field. We recently unveiled a new website for the project offering more details, including a formal call for submissions and a list of forthcoming publications at www.saacrossdisciplines.org. According to the SAAD website: "South Asia Across the Disciplines" publishes work that aims to raise innovative questions in the field. These include the relationship between South Asian studies and the disciplines; the conversation between past and present in South Asia; the history and nature of modernity, especially in relation to cultural change, political transformation, secularism and religion, and globalization. Above all, the series showcases monographs that strive to open up new archives, especially in South Asian languages, and suggest new methods and approaches, while demonstrating that South Asian scholarship can be at once deep in expertise and broad in appeal. We invite manuscripts from art history, history, literary studies, philology or textual studies, philosophy, religion, and the interpretive social sciences, especially those that show an openness to disciplines . . .
Last week, the Field Museum debuted to much fanfare the renovated Grainger Hall of Gems, where the newest temporary exhibit, "The Nature of Diamonds," will be sparkling through March 28, 2010. But the hall itself, one of the most popular areas of the museum since it opened in 1921, has reemerged polished, shiny, and chock full of dazzling gems. As the Field Musuem notes on its website: Featured are all the major gemstone varieties, from those known for thousands of years to newcomers discovered in recent decades. You'll behold rare jewels from every era, including an Egyptian garnet necklace more than 3,400 years old; a Chinese jade ornament thought to have been carved about 600 years ago; and a modern pendant created by C.D. Peacock containing a 28.84-carat tanzanite stone—one of the rarest gems in the world. The exhibition combines the beauty of nature with the creativity of human artistry, so don't miss this unique opportunity to follow gems from their raw state to their remarkable setting in stunning jewelry. To celebrate the reopening of the Grainger Hall, the University of Chicago Press has partnered with the Field Museum to publish Gems and Gemstones: Timeless Natural Beauty of the Mineral . . .
Today's Inside Higher Ed. contains an interview with James C. Garland, author of Saving Alma Mater: A Rescue Plan for America's Public Universities. In the interview Garland discusses the economic difficulties that many public universities currently face, among them declining faculty salaries, dramatic rises in tuition costs, and deferred maintenance that "far exceeds state renovation budgets." More than just fallout from the nation's worst recession since the '30s, as Garland argues "the historic economic model—ample public subsidies resulting in affordable tuition—has broken down and cannot be fixed. The current economic crisis has obviously accelerated the decline, but even after the economy recovers I believe there will be no turning back the clock." Thus in Saving Alma Mater: A Rescue Plan for America's Public Universities Garland offers readers a timely and comprehensive "rescue plan" for America's public universities that would tie university revenues to their performance and exploit the competitive pressures of the academic marketplace to control costs, rein in tuition, and make schools more responsive to student needs. In the interview Garland cites four elements to his approach including: turning public universities into autonomous state-owned entities governed by independent boards of trustees; pushing states to redirect taxpayer dollars that previously . . .
Bloggingheads.tv has posted an interesting interview with Eric A. Posner, author of The Perils of Global Legalism. In the interview Posner and host Henry Farrell discuss a variety of issues related to the topic of Posner's new book which offers a provocative argument against the establishment of an international rule of law. Watch the complete interview below or navigate to Bloggingheads.tv. With The Perils of Global Legalism, Eric A. Posner contends that advocates of global legalism demonstrate a dangerously naive belief that law can be effective even in the absence of legitimate institutions of governance. After tracing the historical roots of the concept, Posner carefully lays out the many illusions—such as universalism, sovereign equality, and the possibility of disinterested judgment by politically unaccountable officials—on which the legalistic view is founded. Drawing on such examples as NATO's invasion of Serbia, attempts to ban the use of land mines, and the free-trade provisions of the WTO, Posner demonstrates throughout that the weaknesses of international law confound legalist ambitions—and that whatever their professed commitments, all nations stand ready to dispense with international agreements when it suits their short- or long-term interests.

Last summer, the legendary Hyde Park Seminary Co-op Bookstores launched a new "web magazine" called The Front Table. Just like the stores themselves, the blog is eclectic, intellectual, and full of fascinating reads. One of our favorite features is "The Editors Speak," a semi-regular look behind the scenes at what goes into the making of a book. The Press's editorial staff have contributed three times to the column, and, indeed, our own Rodney Powell inaugurated the series with his inside look at the genesis of Scorsese by Ebert. In the piece, Powell discusses his trepidation about contacting the great director, his admiration for the professionalism of the great critic, and his appreciation for the sometimes-overlooked contributions of our design staff. Executive Editor Christie Henry also wrote on her experience with Bigfoot—the book, not the imaginary beast. In her piece, she admits "the irony of a university press publishing a book on Bigfoot" but defends its very serious intentions. Just this week, the Front Table published Mary Laur's reflections on the herculean task of compiling the monumental The Child: An Encyclopedic Companion. Ten years in the making and consisting of 570 articles, The Child is a logistical feat as well as . . .
An article in today's Omaha World-Herald begins by quoting photographer and author Michael Forsberg as he describes one one his initial experiences with the midwestern landscapes that inspired his newest book, Great Plains: America's Lingering Wild. The World-Herald's David Hendee writes: Laid out prone in South Dakota's Badlands, wildlife photographer Michael Forsberg focused on burrowing owls in the prairie dog town far down the prairie. During weeks spent hunkered in Dakota dirt, Forberg's aim shifted. "I was amazed day after day at all the wildlife I saw," he said. "Not just the amount, but the diversity. Everything from dragon flies to pronghorn and a bunch in between. But I knew that people in cars screaming by off in the distance were looking over this landscape and thinking there wasn't anything there." Forsberg set out to challenge the notion that the Great Plains is a place to drive through or fly over by revealing the region in ways rarely seen or thought about. And with Great Plains: America's Lingering Wild Forsberg has accomplished just that. Revealing a midwestern landscape alien even to many of those who live in its midst, Forsberg's book demonstrates the surprisingly diverse natural communities that still exist . . .
Green jobs. Green technology. Green agriculture. Green energy. In the twenty-first century, green—and the environmental consciousness that's associated with it—is good. But where did the green revolution, and the modern environmental movement, get started? Historian Harriet Ritvo has traced it origins to an unlikely place—a bucolic reservoir in the English Lake District. To look at it today, with its placid sheen, surrounding evergreens, and apparent lack of pollution or development, Thirlmere hardly looks like the site of a revolution. But under its calm surface lurks the enduring legacy of a nineteenth-century conflict that pitted industrial progress against natural conservation—and helped launch the environmental movement as we know it. Purchased by the city of Manchester in the 1870s, Thirlmere was dammed and converted into a reservoir, its water piped a hundred miles south to the burgeoning industrial city and its workforce. This feat of civil engineering—and of natural resource diversion—inspired one of the first environmental struggles of modern times. The Dawn of Green re-creates the battle for Thirlmere and the clashes between conservationists who wished to preserve the lake and developers eager to supply the needs of industry and a growing urban population. Bringing to vivid life the colorful and strong-minded . . .
In July, the Press published At the Barriers: On the Poetry of Thom Gunn, the first book-length study of this major poet. For the book, editor Joshua Weiner gathered together an all-star cast of contributors—including Eavan Boland, David Gewanter, Wendy Lesser, Paul Muldoon, John Peck, Robert Pinsky, and Tom Sleigh&mdash to survey Gunn's career from his youth in 1930s Britain to his final years in California, bringing together some of the most important poet-critics from both sides of the Atlantic to assess his oeuvre. Now the University of Maryland Library has launched a new digital exhibit, "'Well, I wanted a new vision…': Thom Gunn and 'Misanthropos,'" to celebrate the book's publication. In crafting his essays for the collection, Weiner relied heavily on Maryland's collection of Gunn's papers. My making these materials available, the library offers a rare glimpse into the process of research. . . .

Know Thyself Before Thy Shall Debate
Have you ever gotten in a debate with someone who did not what the heck they were talking about? It was if they were talking just to be talking but had no source to back them up. This is what happens when we do not know who we are truly are as individuals.
Sometimes you'll hear people, Black people, say, "Slavery was so long ago, it's in the past. Leave the past where it's at". Unfortunately, these are the ones who are lost and do not know their true identity because they choose to brush history under the rug when the same issues are still going on today.
Watch the latest Call to Action as I explain why the above reasoning is dangerous.

But thought I'd actually post this time.
I feel weird atm. I've been trying to work out a balance of St Johns Wort, an anti-anxiety tea, bush flower essences, exercise, relaxation ad sleep. And I think I've found a sweet spot this week but have been struggling a bit with anxiety and the black dog sniffing around.
Sally is awesome. She has learnt how to click her tongue, is raising her arms when she wants up, requests a 7pm bedtime, has trialled a few solids and is a ham! most of the time. She's not crawling but can roll with determination and is doing an inchworm kind of thing. I'm planning on taking her to swimming lessons come summer too. She's nearly 7 months old!

We have so much stuff to just get rid of and there's no point holding onto the clutter when it's sucking energy out of our lives. So the extra furniture, excess linen now that we've upsized our bed, extra clothes, couches, books and so on will go for cheap or to a good home.
TheHusband and I sat down today and wrote lists of our basic measurements for clothes, preferences for foods and drinks, and shoe sizes. Makes shopping a bit easier. Also wrote a list of things we would like for Giftmas. Given that we don't celebrate it and it's going to be "fun" to navigate it with a Childerbeast this year, I thought we'd get it early with some ideas for the inevitable questions.
We're going to get photos taken of us as a family and gift them to people. And for our close friends who won't care for that, I have evil plans afoot! involving food and buttons.
