I hope you managed to celebrate World Storytellling Day (20 March) by telling a story or two to mark the occasion. Here at FEAST we hosted a Story Swap with seven wonderful tellers - Ambujavalli, C Mangalam Senthil and Sonia Bareja from India, Lynne Kirk in Hong Kong, and Regina Ress, Hope Lewis and Fran Stallings in the USA. It was an exceptional 100 minutes of telling, with stories from India, China, Borneo and Japan. The variety in the stories, the differences in style and delivery, the humour in the telling, and the power of the actual storylines themselves, made it a marvellous celebration for the 20 or so participants in the swap who watched it live, from Kiran in Australia, for whom the swap began at 10.30pm, to Regina who logged on in New Mexico at 5.30am!
Sheila did an excellent job of recording every tale, with each teller captured full screen throughout. Telling to a web cam, which is impersonal and often really restricts your scope for movement, can be a challenge, but, as someone said when we were wrapping up, it was like we were privileged to have a series of world-class tellers in our living room.
The video is now available for viewing. Simply go to the Store and register and we will send you the link. Normally viewing our webinar videos involves a small fee, but in the spirit of WSD, we are happy to share these stories with anyone keen to watch them.
The Federation of Asian Storytellers was set up by a group of experienced storytellers with a vision of promoting the art of storytelling in Asia. It was officially launched in Chennai on 24 August 2018. Through the work of the Federation, we want to create more opportunities for tellers to perform , internationally and inter-culturally, by organising Festivals, performances and teller exchanges.
We also want to share our skills and encourage FEAST's members to learn from one another, as we have learned from each other while performing together in Festivals over more than a decade. We want to celebrate Asian stories and the many ways in which we make these tales connect with our audiences.
Through the work of FEAST we hope to develop new audiences and a new generation of storytellers. We look forward to welcoming you to the FEAST - either as a chef (our tellers!) or as someone hungry to be fed (our audience).
Access regular webinars that offer you the chance to learn from experienced tellers as they share ideas on different aspects of storytelling.
The annual conference is a chance to meet fellow tellers, take part in practical workshops and see/hear lots of storytellers in action. The conference will be held in a different Asian city each year.
FEAST was set up by the directors of storytelling festivals in Bangkok, Chennai, Jakarta, Kuching, Seoul and Singapore, so if you tell a story at the Conference . . . you may be talent-spotted!
Professional members, have your own page which can introduce you to people looking for a storyteller outside of your usual contacts.
Enjoy our catalogue of stories told and recorded by our members - and not only in English, too! (The full catalogue will only be accessible to members.) Over time it will become a fascinating and invaluable resource.
Looking for a story? Or a story on a theme? Or for a particular age-group? Or occasion? Submit your storytelling questions to our Forum and tap on the shared wisdom of like-minded people.
If you like to tell Asian stories, come join the FEAST!
Meet other storytellers who not only share your passion but who are willing to share their skills and stories.
Who knows what opportunities you might discover or create?
You'll certainly get to hear a lot of stories which you can think of adapting and adding to your telling repertoire!

unsupervised classification uses clustering routines to create the number of classes designated by the analyst. It is up to the analyst to assign meaningful identities to the classes after processing.... As a result only the average distance and semivariance for all the pairs in that bin are plotted as a single point on the map (ArcGIS Help 10.1). The second step of binning in ArcGIS is the actual technical grouping of the pairs that have common distance and direction.
Although ArcGIS does not have any out of the box tools to make these same-symbol bivariate maps, in this presentation I introduce a new set of tools that can be used to ease the compilation of these maps. Combined with standard tools, it is now easier and faster to make these bivariate maps in ArcGIS.... unsupervised classification uses clustering routines to create the number of classes designated by the analyst. It is up to the analyst to assign meaningful identities to the classes after processing.
Back in the day the Census Bureau would make nation wide maps at the county level like this where they would, for instance, map population on one axis and income on the other axis. I know that Spatial Analysis does multivariate analysis, but I was hoping to find a way to do this just through the symbolization of polygon features.
At the 2013 Esri User Conference, I demonstrated a renderer and a geoprocessing tool that could be used to make bivariate choropleth maps. In this blog post, I provide links to these resources so you can use them to make your own bivariate choropleth maps.

The Goethe–Schiller Monument is a public artwork by German artist Ernst Friedrich August Rietschel located in Washington Park, which is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. The bronze sculpture from 1908 depicts two men, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich von Schiller, one holding a laurel wreath and the other a scroll. The 12 foot artwork rests upon a 26 foot long granite base. The bronze sculpture is a recasting of the statue incorporated into the 1857 Goethe-Schiller Monument in Weimar, Germany.

Description
The Goethe-Schiller Monument consists of two men standing side by side. One of the men, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe passes a laurel wreath to the younger man, Friedrich von Schiller, who holds a scroll in his proper left hand. Goethe is attired in a knee-length coat, a shirt with a ruffled collar, a vest and leggings. Schiller is attired in a mid-calf length coat, a vest and leggings. The sculpture stands atop a tiered granite base containing an exedra. The sculpture has three inscriptions. On the lowest left side of the sculpture it says: RIETSCHEL, ERNEST F. On the front of the plinth, in incised letters, it says: GOETHE SCHILLER. On the front of the base it says: GOETHE SCHILLER. The granite base contains three plaques. The plaque on the left side reads:

 Was Du ererbt von Deinen
 Vätern hast Erwirb es,
 um es zu besitzen

 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
 1749–1832
 Weltbürger – World Citizen

These are lines from Goethe's Faust I.i, "That which you inherit from your fathers / You must earn in order to possess."—Goethe's Faust, trans. Randall Jarrell, p. 35 (1976).

The plaque on the right side reads:

 Wer nichts waget
 der darf nichts hoffen

 Friedrich von Schiller
 1759–1805

These lines are from  Schiller's Wallenstein: "Who dares nothing, need hope for nothing."

The plaque in the center reads:

 Erected by the German Citizens of Wisconsin
 and dedicated to the city-June 14, 1908
 Rededicated September 4, 1960
 German-American Societies of Milwaukee, Wisconsin

 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's 250th birthday
 August 28, 1749
 celebrated on August 1, 1999 by the
 German-American Societies of Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The Goethe-Schiller Monument is administered by the Milwaukee County, Department of Parks, Recreation and Culture.

Historical information
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich von Schiller were both highly influential German poets, dramatists and writers that became friends in Weimar, Thuringia. The Germans that came to the United States after 1848, as well as the German thinkers who came after 1870, brought Goethe and Schiller's ideas with them.

Originally, the Milwaukee Swabian Benevolent Society wanted to erect a monument to Schiller, a fellow Swabian, but other Milwaukee German societies wanted to participate in the monument's creation. In 1902 thirty organizations and various private donors, including local families such as the Vogels, Brumders, and Nunnemachers, formed a monument association to raise funds for the artwork. They raised $10,000 for the monument and $5,000 for the pedestal. "In 1908, a coalition of German groups had little trouble agreeing that Germania in Milwaukee should be represented by a copy of the bronze statue created by artist Ernest Rietschel for the front of the Dresden Court Theater in Weimar, Saxony. The larger community was quick to accept the monument." The Milwaukee monument was thus cast by the foundry in Lauchhammer, Germany from Rietschel's original 1857 mold.

The monument was dedicated on June 12, 1908 as part of a great celebration that included thousands of people singing and reading Goethe's and Schiller's works, a dedication speech by Christian Steger, and a gymnastics demonstration. The monument had to be moved from its previous location in Washington Park to its current location west of the Emil Blatz Temple of Music in 1960 because of Highway 41's location. The rededication ceremonies took place on September 1, 1960. A time capsule that had been placed in the base of the monument was found. It contained both German and English newspapers and magazines, records of the Schiller-Goethe Association and copies of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Social Democratic Herald.

There are four Goethe-Schiller Monuments in the United States, each incorporating a copy of Rietschel's 1857 bronze in Weimar. In addition to Milwaukee, they are in San Francisco (1901), Cleveland (1907), and Syracuse (1911).

Several cities in West Texas have a long history in wastewater reclamation, even using the water for drinking, due to the Texas drought. El Paso aims to build the nation's largest advanced purification project for direct water reuse.
Desalination is often suggested as a potential panacea for California's ongoing struggles with drought. The catch in the announcement of $34.4 million in state funding for desalination projects shows why desalination is not there yet.
The UAE has created a storage facility under the desert that can provide up to 100 million liters per day in the event of an emergency.
In 2017, the Southern California city no longer had to be concerned about water quantity, but was plagued by issues of water quality.
In his 2015 state of the state address, Gov. Jerry Brown announced his intention to tackle the Golden State's formidable $59 billion road and bridge deficit. A year later, that staggering figure jumped 30 percent to $77 billion.
The future has arrived in Western Australia thanks to new technology created and implemented by Carnegie Wave Energy. The CETO project marries renewable power with desalination—a timely marriage when droughts and climate change take center stage.
It should come as no surprise that Eduardo Porter, who writes the Economic Scene column for The New York Times, is not enamoured by technological silver bullets like desalination as ways for California to survive it's four-year plus drought.
The Wall Street Journal examines desalination efforts on the Central and South Coasts, starting with the reactivation of a Santa Barbara plant. Notwithstanding criticisms on costs and environmental damage, eight plants have been built since 2006.
Texas is booming—its growth in people and jobs puts it in a league of its own. But another set of growth data pales by comparison: Infrastructure, particularly in the water and transportation needed to accommodate the growth, is woefully lacking.
Arid Australia is investing big-time in a water desalination project that will attempt to ease some of the country's water woes.
Desalinization is a costly process because of the massive electricity needed to make it work. A Canadian startup believes it can cut that cost by 80% with a thermo-ionic process.
A large water desalination plant has been approved in Southern California, where water supplies are historically low and the population is high.

'Avatar 2' Star Expects It to Beat 'Avengers: Endgame' at the Box Office
Avatar 2 Star Expects It to Beat Avengers: Endgame at the Box Office
Avatar 2 star Stephen Lang believes the movie can take the all-time record at the box office when it arrives next year.
Last year, Avengers: Endgame managed to do the seemingly impossible by breaking Avatar's record, becoming the highest-grossing movie of all time at the box office. The question now becomes, can James Cameron's long-awaited Avatar 2 bring the record back to Pandora? The jury is still out on that one, but one of the movie's stars, Stephen Lang, seems to think so.
Stephen Lang appeared in James Cameron's 2009 sci-fi blockbuster as Colonel Quaritch. While many questions remain, Lang will be returning, despite his character seemingly meeting his demise. During a recent interview, the actor was discussing the upcoming sequel, which has been in the works for years now. At one point, he was specifically asked whether or not he thinks Avatar 2 can overtake Avengers: Endgame at the box office. Lang had a simple three-word answer to that.

"I expect so."
2009 was a wildly different time for the movie business. Released in December, Avatar earned $77 million on its opening box office weekend. Yet, it just kept bringing in the money week after week with very little drop-off, all the way through summer 2010. That, coupled with unprecedented success overseas, led to the movie earning $2.79 billion at the global box office. The record stood for nearly a decade, as many other franchise flicks such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens came along and couldn't touch that figure. When The Force Awkens, arguably the most anticipated movie of the decade, topped out at just over $2 billion, it seemed like James Cameron's record might be safe forever.
Then Avengers: Endgame happened. Last year's Marvel epic served as the culmination of more than a decade of interconnected cinematic storytelling. It was an unprecedented global pop culture moment, that benefited greatly from that all-timer of a cliffhanger in Infinity War, which also grossed over $2 billion. After months in theaters and an impressive global run, director Joe and Anthony Russo's MCU entry grossed $2.8 billion. That put it, by a nose (as far as these things are concerned) above Avatar.
Sequels, quite often, can gross more than their predecessors. By that logic, Avatar 2 stands a chance to taking the record. However, it's been more than a decade and it's much more difficult for a movie to have the legs that the original had. The sequel, which will be released by Disney on December 17, 2021, stands to be a big hit. But a hit that brings in nearly $3 billion? That's a tall order. And there are so many unknown factors at play. Will people still care by the time the sequel arrives? Will it be received well by critics?
The more likely scenario here is that an eventual Avatar re-release, to hype up Avatar 2, will bring in enough money to see it once again claim the top spot at the box office. With that, Avengers: Endgame's record could be relatively short-lived. Either way, Disney stands to make a ton of money, as three further Avatar sequels are planned with release dates set on December 22, 2023, December 19, 2025, and December 17, 2027. This news comes to us via The National.

Sparky's List
Posted on February 4, 2003 by Tom Tomorrow
A report from the front
Salon's Michelle Goldberg attended the Conservative Political Action Conference over the weekend:
To attend CPAC is to crash through the looking glass into a world where passionate worship of the president is part of a brave rebellion against government, where Sweden is a hellish dystopia and Tom Daschle a die-hard Marxist. It's to realize that, despite the conservative hold on the White House, the Congress and the Supreme Court and the utter dejection among Democrats, right-wingers still fancy themselves an embattled minority facing an army of wily, ruthless leftists, who they hate with the righteous fury of the downtrodden.
That may be why there were so many college students in attendance, since university campuses are perhaps the only places left in America where conservatives might legitimately feel marginalized. Many students spoke of being radicalized by the hostility they face as Republicans at liberal schools, much as David Brock did in his book "Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative." Given the p.c. hysteria that has choked the intellectual life of so many institutions, it's likely they really have been mistreated. Still, some of the examples they proffered suggested something rather less than an epidemic of college Stalinism. At the panel on campus liberal bias, for example, Roger Custer of Ithaca College's Young America's Foundation spoke of the oppression he suffered when his group advertised a speech by Pat Buchanan's sister Bay with signs saying, "Feminazis beware: Your Nuremberg has come."
"We received a barrage of criticism," Custer said indignantly. "Leftists said they felt physically threatened."
Rev. Lou Sheldon, the founder of the Traditional Values Coalition and sworn enemy of homosexuality, put it best. Asked if Bush was in sync with his agenda, he replied, "George Bush is our agenda!"
But Sheldon, a plump, pink man with pale blue eyes, wasn't out celebrating the Bush presidency. Instead, the man who has pledged "open warfare" against all things gay, stood in the exhibitors hall before a makeshift carnival game called "Tip a Troll," in which players were invited to throw gray beanbags at toy trolls with the heads of Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Hillary Clinton and Tom Daschle, or trolls holding signs saying, "The Homosexual Agenda," "Roe V. Wade" and "The Liberal Media."
Sheldon, like the rest of the right, isn't letting success distract from a monomaniacal focus on its foes. Indeed, the overwhelming message at CPAC was that it's time to toughen up.

The South China Sea is an important trade route for LNG, and in 2016, almost 40% of global LNG trade, or approximately 4.7 trillion ft3, passed through.
The latest report by the US Energy Information Administration1 (EIA) details the critical role the South China Sea plays in LNG trade flows, namely, the importance of the trade route for Malaysia and Qatar.
The two major LNG exporters accounted for more than 60% of total South China Sea LNG volumes in 2016. Just under half of Qatar's global LNG shipments moved through the South China Sea in 2016. As Malaysia's only LNG export plant stands on the South China Sea coast, all of Malaysia's LNG exports pass through the South China Sea. With these figures in mind, the importance of the trade route cannot be understated.
Multiple other smaller LNG exporters also use South China Sea trade routes to reach their destinations. In 2016, Oman, Brunei, and the UAE shipped between 84% and 100% of their total LNG exports through the South China Sea. Much attention has been paid recently to LNG demand and supply dynamics and the impact of potentially lower demand growth on LNG prices. Could emerging markets such as these be key to the growth in demand that producers will be hoping to see in the coming years?
Other LNG exporters in the region, such as Australia and Indonesia, are utilising other trade routes to reach LNG markets. In 2016, approximately 23% of Australian LNG exports and around 29% of Indonesian LNG exports were shipped through the South China Sea. The majority of the remaining LNG exports from Australia and Indonesia passed to the east of the Philippines and Taiwan, avoiding the South China Sea on the way to customers in Japan, South Korea, and northern China.
The four LNG importers with the largest volumes passing through the South China Sea are Japan, South Korea, China, and Taiwan, together accounting for 94% of total LNG volumes going through the South China Sea in 2016. Just over half of all of Japan's LNG imports in 2016 were shipped by way of the South China Sea. Similarly, about two-thirds of the LNG imported by South Korea was shipped through the South China Sea that year.
More than two-thirds of China's LNG imports and more than 90% of Taiwan's LNG imports passed through the South China Sea in 2016. Total imports of LNG to China have more than doubled over the previous five years, from 0.56 trillion ft3 in 2011 to 1.20 trillion ft3 in 2016.
Based on projections in the International Energy Outlook 2017, EIA predicts that China will surpass South Korea as the world's second-largest LNG importer by 2018 and go close to matching Japan's level of LNG imports by 2040. If reports are to be believed, the country has recently been in talks with both Russia and the US to increase imports, as traders aim to grab a chunk of the lucrative, growing business of exporting gas to China.
In this month's regional report on 'emerging markets', Arup explore emerging opportunities for LNG in Asia, with a focus on the increasing influence of China in the import market. A hot topic at the moment, new and emerging markets are offering hope to producers looking to contract their LNG in the coming years, under the shadow of a potentially oversupplied market. With China's imports expected to continue to rise, and new players entering the market, the busy South China Sea is only going to get busier.

If there was a greater certainty at The Curragh yesterday than Enable winning the Darley Irish Oaks, it was that the filly's rider Frankie Dettori would perform a flying dismount in the winner's enclosure as long as she did win it.
Enable obliged and Frankie flew. We got the double up.
In truth, there was never really a moment's anxiety for the odds-on favourite. Not from the point at which Dettori got the John Gosden-trained filly settled into a nice racing rhythm after they had gone a furlong behind pace-setter Bengala. The daughter of Nathaniel was smooth as silk for the next nine furlongs, swinging along at racing pace, one horse-length between her and the leader, a half a horse-length between her and the chasing pack, everything under control.
As they started the turn for home, Dettori moved Enable up on the outside of the leader as Bean Feasa got closer on the outside, but that was as close as Jim Bolger's filly got. Dettori gave his filly a squeeze when they straightened for home, and she took off. In a hoofbeat she had put daylight between herself and her pursuers.
Rain Goddess emerged from the pack to give chase, and she did mount a challenge of sorts, but Dettori gave his filly one smack passing the two-furlong pole and, all of a sudden, the race was over as a contest. Prince Khalid Abdullah's filly careered away from her field, putting five and a half lengths between herself and the gallant Rain Goddess by the time she reached the winning line, with her rider afforded the luxury of being able to ease down close home.
The shoulder to which he was referring is the one that he broke in a fall in the parade ring at Yarmouth last month, which kept him out of Royal Ascot and away from the Irish Derby. It could have ruled him out of yesterday's contest too, but the rider was determined to get back for Enable's Irish Oaks bid. That was another race that he won, returning to race-riding only three days ago at Newmarket. Yesterday's ride was just his third ride back after his injury, and his first winner.
It is difficult to know how good Enable is, how good she could be. Yesterday's race was just the fifth of her career, and it was her fourth win. After staying on well to land the Cheshire Oaks at Chester in May, she was impressive in winning the Epsom Oaks in early June where, once again, her stamina came to the fore. She showed a turn of foot yesterday though, she showed her pace as well as her stamina, and that combination is an irresistible force.
Bookmakers Paddy Power cut Enable's odds for the King George to 6/1, which makes her joint second favourite behind last year's winner Highland Reel, while she is quoted at no higher than 7/1 for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
Earlier in the day, the Group 2 Friarstown Stud Sapphire Stakes was won by the Tony Coyle-trained Caspian Prince, who got home by a short head under Declan McDonogh from the odds-on favourite Marsha in a thriller.
The Group 3 Jebel Ali Silver Jubilee Anglesey Stakes was won by the Actress, Aidan O'Brien's filly – the only filly in the race – driven to a one-and-three-quarter-length success by Seamie Heffernan.
