Mission gave Mercer Street Food Bank a head start
Monday, December 13, 2010 SPECIAL TO THE TIMES
Since 1987, the Mercer Street Friends Food Bank has been leading the fight to end hunger in the greater Mercer County region, channeling food in our community to ensure that the most vulnerable of our citizens do not go hungry.
This past year, the Food Bank distributed close to 3 million pounds of food and groceries through its network of 55 local charities that include various pantries, the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, HomeFront, Crisis Ministries and Mount Carmel Guild, among others.
The Food Bank's initial home was in space that was provided to it at no charge by the Rescue Mission of Trenton.
"To get the Food Bank started, we needed a place to receive and distribute food, and the Rescue Mission stepped up to the plate and offered use of their facility without hesitation," said Phyllis Stoolmacher, longtime director of the Mercer Street Friends Food Bank.
"This is so typical of the Mission and (Rescue Mission CEO) Mary Gay (Abbott-Young), who always says yes when asked by another nonprofit if she could provide a truck or some guys when one is in pinch. I do not know how Trenton and the community would fare without this wonderful organization and their staff."
"We are extremely proud to have helped to give life to the food bank," said Abbott-Young. "Its growth has been truly remarkable. One of the reasons we were able for the sixth straight year to earn a coveted 4-star efficiency rating from Charity Navigator is because of the thousands of dollars we save through our membership in the Food Bank."
Funds from this year's Holiday Appeal will be used to support the Rescue Mission's broad range of programs for the homeless, the hungry, the transient and the addicted.
To make a donation towardin support of the Rescue Mission of Trenton, please make your check payable to The Times Holiday Appeal and mail it to Times Charities Inc., P.O. Box 416045, Boston, MA 02241-6045.
Donations to The Times Holiday Appeal will go directly to the designated nonprofit organization without the deduction of overhead expenses.

Making your Main Character Matter
Did you know that Bella Swan, heroine and main character of the "Twilight" novels, was academically smart? In the first book of the series, even in the first scene where the two love interests interact with each other directly, Bella Swan mentions being in an advanced Biology program at her old school. And yet one of the biggest complaints (not the biggest, but top three) I hear against the Twilight books is how Bella Swan has no personality of her own. She is defined by the characters around her. Her personality and responses change depending on who she's with.
There are three problems authors can face when writing a main character: the character is uninteresting, the character is unlikeable, or the character is reactive. These are pitfalls authors must avoid, because the last thing you want is an audience rooting for the antagonist and being disappointed if your main character survives. These are people we have to care about and flesh out completely. We need to believe in our protagonist, and share that belief with our audience. It has to matter who wins. It can't only be the plot that's interesting.
Your main character will be uninteresting if you aren't writing a comedy or a satire and your protagonist is the best of good guys. A hero in shining armor, whether literal or morally, is boring. A character with no distinct voice or personality is uninteresting because we can't relate to them. They won't matter if we don't know who they are. And a character who only has one or two defined character traits is dull. As side characters each of these work fine, but only if they move the story forward. The main character that you write needs to have both good and bad tendencies, talents and things they're awful at, opinions that don't need to be right, and something that they want so desperately that it drives the plot forward or makes their actions consistent within the conflict. In every scene you write, you need to know what that scene is doing to drive the plot and how your character is working towards what they want in it. That makes a character interesting.
But it doesn't make them likeable. The anti-hero is a term that gets thrown around frequently, but it doesn't mean the villain or the antagonist. An anti-hero is the main character of a story, the protagonist, who is not really that good of a person. Their ethics are questionable. They rarely have moral high ground. Anti-heroes do whatever it takes to accomplish their goal, legality and collateral damage notwithstanding. And this is the person you want your audience to both identify with and root for. These kind of main characters have interesting in the bag; they usually have dark back stories and some kind of deep emotional trauma. They do the things that 99.9% of the population would never consider. But that isn't enough to make your readers care about them.
The two easiest ways to make an interesting character also likeable are to make them good at something or give them a tragic back story. The John Cleaver series follows the story of a 15 year old sociopath John who works in a morgue and has homicidal urges. The title of the first book is "I Am Not a Serial Killer." How did the author make the readers sympathize with a main character who by definition could not feel empathy? John doesn't want to be a serial killer. That's easy to identify with. Most of us don't want to kill people. And there is an inherent tragedy within a character whom we believe because he believes he is fated to become something that he doesn't want to be. We root for him because the choice he wants to make is good, despite all the extra handicaps he's working under.
It's also easy to like a character who is good at something. Katniss Everdeen, the female main character of The Hunger Games novels, is a socially repressed and sullen teenager who resents her mother and wants to protect her sister. She is generally surly and prone to judging and disliking people. But she is incredible at archery. That's one of the first things we learn about her, that she is good at hunting and providing for her family. Other character traits come up as we go, like her determination to save her sister, but she isn't self sacrificing or noble or a patriot. As the hero of her people, she gets coerced into the role and resents all those who try to direct or control her. She is frustratingly blind to the obvious and refuses to communicate with the people around her. But we want her to win. She kills other children because she doesn't want to die, but there is no one better at archery, and once you win her loyalty you never lose it. So give your main character something to be good at, something that matters to the plot that they can do.
Because the third problem with the hero is how sometimes the plot drives them. This is mostly noticeable where the good guys are bad guys are clearly defined, like any superhero genre or any time there's an evil overlord. The hero, regardless of how talented or interesting they may be as a character, can fall into the trap of reacting to the villain throughout the entire story. The villain determines the battle ground and the terms, and the hero responds. The villain creates the conflict, and the hero is drawn into it. Your villain is interesting because everything they do in the story is goal driven, but your hero's goal is defined by the villain. This is a problem for several reasons. Your protagonist should never be defined by only one thing, in this case, the plot. Your villain becomes more interesting than your hero, and your reader starts to skim through any parts of the story that don't involve the interesting characters. Your side characters become more interesting than your hero. This needs to be fixed.
And thankfully, if you've made your main character both interesting and likeable, it's an easy fix. At some point in your story, your hero starts to get proactive. Your main character has to decide to take the power into their own hands and start setting their own terms. In the third book of the Hunger Games trilogy, Katniss has this turning point based on a conversation with Prim, where Prim (her younger sister) points out that if they need her to be a figurehead for the war, she can start making her own demands. In the Twilight series, this happens once Bella decides that no matter what, her child is going to escape the Volturi. Interestingly, all the complaints about Bella not having her own personality and only being defined by the male characters and being weak and submissive, which many feminists are eager and vocal to point out, are completely untrue in the fourth book. Bella decides to die rather than give up her baby (which feminists have an issue with, but I don't. She made a choice and stuck with it. Respect that.). And in the final battle, it is Bella who turns the tide and won't back down. They would have lost without her. The moment she decided that she was in charge of her own destiny was for me the moment she became her own character.
Your hero can do that too. Don't let them be satisfied with winning the battle- give them a moment where they can draw a line in the sand and say, "Thus far, no farther." Those are stand up and cheer hero moments. Your writing will be stronger for it, you will be stronger for it, and your main character will matter to your reader so much that when they close the book at the end, it will hurt them a little to be saying goodbye to such good friends. That is a main character worth going back to visit again.

Crap. I'm in trouble. LOL. I think my characters go against all of that. Especially with the villain leading the protagonist. My villain hasn't approached yet...wow. I think I need to rethink a lot of things.

When a technological enthusiast recently called for an undersea nuclear blast to seal the BP oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, I recalled another time some forty years ago, when another American engineer, fascinated by the entire moon's vibration at the lift off of the Apollo moon capsule, called for an atomic blast on the moon to measure its scale of resonant vibration. It was, no doubt, an opportunity for a fascinating experiment, and our short-sleeved and short-sighted, flat-topped but unlevel-headed NASA engineer probably got off at the thought of shaking Mother Nature up a bit.
It never occurred to the lunatic engineer to consider that the moon's orbit might be disturbed enough to be gravitationally attracted back to Earth, or displaced from its protective position for us on Earth as an attractor for asteroids; nor did it occur to the atomic bomb enthusiast that a tsunami might take out all the Florida Keys and coastal cities of the Gulf and poison the food chain for a quarter of a million years.
Speaking as a former MIT professor, I must say that the fact that two technicians could utter such nonsense indicates our great failing in the education of engineers, architects, and technical experts of all sorts. We Americans have an admirable "Can do!" mentality, but considering our fixing of Iraq and our present fixing of Afghanistan, it is time to step back, re-assess, and perhaps develop a new and humbler mentality, one that is no longer based on the World War Two mind-set of fixing the old world order with a new one based on atom bombs and Marshall Plans and newsreels of GI's passing out Hershey bars to the admiring children standing to the side of history in their tattered European rags.
We need to think in a new way. When designing anything, the first thing we should ask is: What does the system excrete and how can we recycle that shadow-form into its on-going forms of production? The second question we should ask is: What are the ways the system can fail, and how can we make failure reinforce a process of correction and rescue?
All human systems fail at some point. Bowstrings snap, bullets jam, boilers explode, and airplanes crash. Deep sea oil rigs and nuclear reactors are simply too complex for Homo sapiens sapiens to be wise enough to manage. And if human cleverness is compromised by the greed and short-sightedness of a Halliburton or a BP and capitalism's systemic purchase of government officials, then we are doubly exposed, as the surrounding system of management is not one of protection, but of menace.
In the Jeffersonian eighteenth-century agrarian vision of governance, "That government is best that governs least." Since history has been said to repeat itself, the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce, Jefferson has found his farcical reprise with the contemporary Tea Partiers.
Because our TV instantiated short-term memories have robbed us of the long-term memory of history and the reflective ponderings of reading, our contemporary citizens, incited by Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, are angry and threatened. But they do not direct their anger at the invisible forces that do actually threaten them–such as Goldman Sachs, Fox News, Halliburton, or BP; instead, they direct their anger into the channels suggested to them by the owners of the media. So birthers claim Obama is an alien and that his programs are socialist, when they are entirely centrist and completely lacking in the ability to re-vision our historical situation and energize a new paradigm of political and civilizational thinking.
Were the Tea Partiers and the fans of Sarah Palin reflective citizens and intelligent readers, they might be able to recall in the long-term memory of history the real conditions of life in an unrestrained world of free enterprise. There were twelve hour work days, child labor and no public education; there was no public health or safety requirements for the work place; there was no public inspection of meat factories or sea food and produce. What was indeed free and omnipresent was disease and death. Government was, and has become again, a more civil form of organized crime.
These were the good old days of the culture of the real America, before uppity blacks from Harvard and Latina judges from Princeton led the rural white Tea Partiers and Libertarians into this miasma of a multi-culti world.
President Obama ran his campaign on a program of hope and a renewed sense of the invincible American "Can do!" spirit with his incantatory slogan of "Yes, we can!" Readers of his book, Dreams from My Father, will recognize in his presidency the traits he showed early on as the nice young black man who learned how not to make elderly white women like his grandmother feel afraid. He was always an idealist, but never an ideologue. And so to save the economic system, he rescued the banks. To get health insurance passed by Congress, he appeased the medical insurance corporations. To keep the lights on for American cities and the American economy running on its airplanes, trucks, and SUVs, he has called for off-shore drilling and more nuclear reactors. Nowhere has he called for the re-visioning of industrial civilization, the rethinking of the global projection of American military power, and at no time has he recognized that our technological mentality is contributing to our extinction. While President Obama seeks to fix failed states in Pakistan and Afghanistan northern Mexico is fast becoming a failed state.The drug wars have opened a giant sinkhole that can swallow up the entire Southwest and turn El Paso, Tucson, and Los Angeles into other versions of Ciudad Juarez.
In fact, the sinkhole, like the black oil jet in the sea, has become an archetypal symbol of our new political landscape. Obama reached across the aisle in a spirit of rational compromise, but the aisle was only a red carpet over an abyss.


PALO PINTO - Despite triple-digit temperatures and occasional wind gusts, firefighters gained ground Sunday on two wildfires in Palo Pinto County that have burned at least 3,600 acres since they started last week west of Fort Worth, according to a Texas Forest Service official.
Two helicopters arrived Sunday morning to aid firefighters from about 14 fire departments who are battling the blazes. The helicopters are being used at both fire sites, dropping gallons of water, authorities said.
No injuries have been reported, and the fires have not destroyed any structures, but they have threatened at least 18 homes. No evacuations have been ordered.
The Rhodes Ranch fire started Wednesday just east of the town of Palo Pinto. By Sunday afternoon, firefighters had contained at least 50 percent of the blaze.
The temperature hit 105 degrees at Mineral Wells at 3 p.m., and wind gusts to 18 mph were reported.
On Thursday, the Dark Valley fire started near Texas 16 and Texas 254 near Possum Kingdom Lake, where wildfires last year charred 126,734 acres and destroyed 168 homes, two churches and 128 outbuildings before they were contained. Firefighters had 45 percent of those fires contained.
Texas Forest Service spokesman Patrick Allen said Sunday that the Rhodes Ranch fire had burned 1,700 acres and the Dark Valley fire had burned 1,900.
"The weather held and luckily, as the day progressed, we were able to get other resources from the state and local level," Allen said.


Meadowridge Veterinary HospitalAfter 23 years as a mainstay of North Lansing, The Boarding Barn and Meadowridge Veterinary Hospital has been under new management for the past three months. New owner Linda Garrett, a veterinarian and Ithaca native, says that even with the new management very little will change. "I think it's a really nice hospital," she says. "I like the way things are done. I'm just starting to make some gradual changes. But as far as main things everybody does a really good job and I like the way they interact with clients and pets and all the rest of it, so we've more slid me in then changed anything else."
Garrett heard the business was for sale through Sharon Garland, a friend who had been working at Meadowridge and knew the former owners were looking for a buyer. Garrett was working at Lakewood Animal Hospital in Horseheads, but had been thinking of owning her own animal hospital. "I did a lot of management," she says. "Well not so much management there as being involved with it, doing planning, that kind of deal. So I got to really see how a lot of things are run and getting into more of the business side of it and seeing how things went and decided I wanted to do it myself."
So she was receptive when Garland gave her the tip. "I really thought about it long before but also, too, as an employee veterinarian there is only so far you can go," Garrett says. "You can do medical things but it's limited how much opportunity you have to change the thing you want to change and do things your way."
Immediate changes have included tiling floors and running network cables to merge the kennel and veterinary practice computers. Garrett and partner Kathy Hughes spend their 'spare time' making the changes. "I've learned to tile floors since I bought this place," Garrett says. She adds that they have had to pick up other skills as well, not only to manage the animal services business, but because apartments came with the business. "That might have been the biggest challenge," she continues. "That was not in my original plan. There are five apartments. So I also joined the landlord association and tried to learn a lot at once. Nothing like learning about sales tax, how to put down a floor, and how to convince people to pay their rent!"
Hughes, also a veterinarian, works at the Horseheads practice, and Garrett herself still works there one day per week. But Hughes also gets her hands dirty working on the buildings. "Kathy always describes herself as the dragger heavy things," Garrett says. "She helped put the floor down. She's also involved in making decisions here and since it came with the apartments, she ends up doing a lot of maintenance things."
Another aspect of owning her own business is managing a staff. She knew some of the veterinarians through professional channels, but little of the staff, which numbers around 24, including five veterinarians and three licensed technicians. But Garrett says that her staff immediately put her at ease. "They are cool people," she says. "It's really nice. The first staff meeting I did I was so nervous and everybody was like, 'here, have a piece of pizza'."
Garrett put out a suggestion box for employees and clients alike. She says that many good suggestions have come from the youngest employees who work in the kennel. "A lot of suggestions have come from the high school kids and they have been really good," she says. Things like we need lights out back, and things I wouldn't necessarily notice because I'm not usually out there trying to pick up at 6pm on a winter night. It's really nice if you can see what you're doing."
With undergraduate and doctorate degrees at Fordham University, Garrett also went to the University of St. Andrews in Scotland for a year, and was an exchange student in Australia. Her masters degree is in behavioral physiology in animal behavior. After deciding to switch to veterinary medicine she went to the Cornell School of Veterinary Medicine, after which she worked in large group practices in Philadelphia for about 10 years. But she wanted to move back to the Ithaca area, first working at Briar Patch, and eventually practicing in Horseheads.
Garrett says that most of her practice is dogs and cats. "We just do basics on exotics because Cornell is down the road with all the specialized knowledge and the equipment they have," she says. "But I just did bunny exams for a couple of bunnies this week and was explaining to somebody about overgrown guinea pig teeth."
hospital and kennel for almost 25 years.
She is also encouraging her staff to weave behavioral and dietary advice in with medical treatment. "Probably one of the things we would like to specialize more with is animal behavior, because we have a bunch of us now that do training and behavior stuff," she says, adding that this can include puppy socialization or training a difficult dog to stand still while being muzzled. "Sharon Garland does agility and herding lessons and basically is great with inter-dog problems. I have not as much of a practical background as she has but I have the degrees, and I do dog training too. We are trying to get into more of that because I think if you make a difference when you're doing puppy socialization things like that, you can avoid 90% of the problems that cause people to end up dropping their dog off to get rid of them."
Owning her own business has presented some surprises, including how long it takes to get things done. "Sure, we'll connect the computers together," she sighs. "It's been four months now. They are physically connected but they are still not running in synch. And personnel is always a challenge, how to get people working to their capacity and that kind of thing. Not a lot of surprises because it was an excellent practice to start with. Some of the things that I've found in back corners have been interesting too, because the place has been here for 25 years and every once in a while you go what is that?"
Garrett is exuberant in her enthusiasm for what she does, and the challenges of owning a business as well as treating animals hasn't slowed her down. "I actually enjoy coming into work almost every day," she says. "My favorite things so far is simply getting to meet clients and animals around here. I really like the people I've been meeting and the energy level has been really fun, especially with a lot of the kids. The other thing that has been really nice is how very nice the clients are, but that hasn't been a surprise."

Friends of Europe will be contributing to the global conversation on hybrid and transnational threats by publishing a discussion paper in December 2018. The paper will include perspectives and recommendations from 12 authors in the field of hybrid threats and cybersecurity.
In an age where hybrid tactics such as disinformation and cyber-attacks are increasingly deployed, the limitations of conventional military power have become evident. Through fake news, election interference and disinformation campaigns, perpetrators are exploiting the current state of polarisation and government mistrust in Western democracies, thus increasingly demanding a response from those accountable for protecting our security in the cyber domain. These emerging hybrid threats are forcing a rethink on how to coordinate efforts not just between allies but also between public and private actors.

Possible Cellino & Barnes breakup reverberates from NYC to LA
By Robert J. McCarthy

By BN
Ross Cellino and Steve Barnes have been smiling down on Buffalo expressway commuters for two decades, while their constant jingle with all those "8s" plays out on the car radio and television ads.
Their law firm's ubiquitous billboards also greet New York City subway commuters near major hospitals, and its jingle reverberates during Yankee games on WFAN and throughout its vast radio network.
In Los Angeles, buses carry the Buffalo lawyers' smiling countenances throughout the nation's second-largest city.
So even though the possible breakup of the Cellino & Barnes personal injury law firm will play out in a Buffalo courtroom later this week, ramifications will be felt in Manhattan, Long Island and several California cities where the personal injury firm maintains major offices.
Cellino & Barnes appear headed for 'divorce'
The threatened breakup between longtime partners Ross M. Cellino Jr. and Stephen E. Barnes is getting national notice. All three New York City dailies Friday covered the story of the show cause order on the potential breakup, in part because the firm has become so well known in a relatively short time.
"They just came from nowhere a few years ago with an incredible amount of advertising," said Thomas P. Giuffra of the Manhattan firm of Rheingold, Giuffra, Ruffo and Plotkin. "It's been very effective."
Giuffra, who specializes in medical malpractice, product liability and other areas, said he has watched with interest as Cellino & Barnes invaded New York City. The firm's office is located on Lexington Avenue across from Grand Central Terminal, and the Buffalo lawyers quickly established themselves in the Big Apple's highly competitive legal field even without an elite, "white shoe firm" reputation.
"Their model is personal injury focus on high-volume cases," Giuffra said. "It's a good business if you spend millions of dollars on advertising. You'll make a lot of money if you have enough of that, and name recognition has become very effective for them."
Sources: Barnes' refusal to hire Cellino's daughter sparked rift
Giuffra noted the firm is good at its specialties – car accidents, slip and falls and other cases of personal injury. But the firm shies away from the major cases involving product liability or medical malpractice, he said.
Cellino and Barnes has not established themselves among New York's legal elite and avoids significant participation in the New York City Bar Association and other professional organizations, Giuffra said.
Legal observers say the Cellino & Barnes firm is liable to settle cases and then advertise monetary awards reaching into seven figures. Giuffra said its Manhattan office consists mainly of young lawyers.
But there is no question Cellino & Barnes has become a major presence in New York City's legal community, mainly because of the billboards and broadcast jingles.
Advertising by attorneys, once taboo in the legal profession, has become much more accepted over the past 35 years, Giuffra said. Top firms with top verdicts mostly avoid it, he said, but advertising that Cellino & Barnes pioneered has become part of the legal profession.
"If you have enough of it in enough places," Giuffra said, "it must be effective."
Cellino & Barnes dispute: Law firm hired Barnes' brother and girlfriend
And Eric M. Turkewitz, a New York City blogger on the personal injury litigation business, said the dissolution will rank as a major story within the profession.
"At stake in the suit are potentially thousands (tens of thousands?) of injured clients, whose cases now face the prospects of chaos, delay and disarray," he wrote on his New York Personal Injury Law Blog. "It could be years before the entanglements of the two are sorted out, as issues involving its very expensive phone number (all 8s), marketing campaign (and jingle) and leases are sorted out while the lawyers jockey over how to manage the clients."
He predicted the dispute could spawn new firms, and that current employees may be jockeying for clients.
"There are two main reasons for a law firm to dissolve – money and ego," Turkewitz speculated. "So the leading contenders are that there are financial problems of some kind lurking in the background, or that Cellino (or Barnes) feels he deserves a bigger piece of the pie for some reason. Time will tell."
Giuffra, however, said the breakup will not have that much effect in the vast legal New York City legal system. He said big firm dissolutions are common, and that a firm like Cellino & Barnes lacks longtime and loyal clients like some of the more established partnerships.
"The impact is really quite marginal," he said. "Firms break up ... and this one has no core group."

The mercy of God_ tends as greatly towards the principle of GOOD as "_the inhumanity of man_" towards cruelty, so that he would consign his brother men to flames of hell during eternity for the puerile mistakes committed during a few years, or perhaps for a slight difference in belief.
Our chapter head, "the constitution of man," may surprise a reader who has not previously studied the Mystery teachings, or he may imagine that we intend to give an anatomical dissertation, but such is not our intention.
The coming storm is not the work of any "bad man," but it is the inevitable consequence of a "bad system.
There is no passive form of the verb, all sentences being in the active voice, thus, instead of saying, "A boomerang was thrown by the man," the phrase would be, "The man threw a boomerang.
So great was the increasing wickedness, with the growth of the race, that "it repented the Lord that he had made man," and he resolved to destroy the whole race, with the exception of one religious family, and change the whole surface of the earth by a mighty flood, which should involve in destruction all animals and fowls of the air—all the antediluvian works of man.
I should hardly call you a marrying man," he observed.
The feminine knot is designed for the confusion of man," I observed, twitching vainly at the rope, which was tied securely in unfamiliar loops.
That's a large amount of money to lend one man," said Stoddard.
We all know that when a piece of our silver money has long fulfilled its part, as "pale and common drudge 'tween man and man", whatever it had at first of sharper outline and livelier impress is in the end wholly obliterated from it.
Pity the extraordinary man," says Goethe, "who had to live in such miserable times, which offered him no better subjects than those which he takes for his works.
God," says St. Paul, "gave some Apostles, and some Prophets, and others Evangelists, and others Pastors and Doctors, for the perfecting of the Saints, for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ, until we all meet unto the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man."(36) The moral law which the Catholic Church inculcates on her children is the highest and holiest standard of perfection ever presented to any people, and furnishes the strongest incentives to virtue.
A miserable man," I replied.
Very soon afterward, at the age of eighteen, I believe, she became, as she had dreamed in childhood, a "newspaper man," editing the St. Peter Journal, and to the hour of my pardon she was one of the most indefatigable workers for us.
The Goose Man" ("Das Gänsemännchen"), refers to the famous statue of that name in Nuremberg.
He told "the old man," as Professor Herold was called, of his antipathy to these students.
Yes, you die at each fall, and at each come-back you appear a new-made man," he said.
A hard-hearted man, an exceedingly hard-hearted man," said Herr Seelenfromm in his grief.
A very remarkable old man," said Andreas Döderlein one Sunday, as he sat tipped back on his chair, picking his teeth.
In music every creation is more closely related to an unconditional exterior than is true of anything else that man gives to man," answered Daniel.
I am the Goose Man," came the reply, spoken with a loyal and devoted bow.
The writer has heard of a minister who wished to impress his "flock" with the reality of an eternity of hell flames, and to demonstrate the fallacy of a heretical notion entertained by some of his parishioners that when sinners come to hell they burn to ashes and that is the end.
He took with him an alcohol lamp and some asbestos into the pulpit and told his audience that God would turn their souls into a substance resembling asbestos.
We have spoken of the earth upon which we live as being composed of several invisible realms in addition to the world we perceive by means of our senses.
We have also spoken of man as being correlated to these various divisions in nature, and a little thought upon the subject will quickly convince us that in order to function upon the various planes of existence described, it is necessary that a man should have a body composed of their substance, or at least have specialized for his own use, some of the material of each of these worlds.
Calm often betokens a coming storm.
We witness an unrest which will not be eliminated until something essential is done to adjust it.


"G93-1167 Spider Mite Management in Corn and Soybeans" by Robert J. Wright, Ronald C. Seymour et al.
This NebGuide describes the two common spider mites found in Nebraska corn and soybeans, their natural enemies and management.
Two species of spider mites, the Banks grass mite and twospotted spider mite, commonly feed on Nebraska corn. Banks grass mites (BGM) feed almost exclusively on grasses, including corn and sorghum. Twospotted spider mites (TSM) not only feed on many species of grasses, but also on soybeans, fruit trees and a variety of vegetables and ornamental plants. Although these two species are somewhat similar in appearance, they differ in several biological characteristics and in their susceptibility to pesticides.
Banks grass mites usually appear earlier in the season, feed mostly on the lower leaves of the corn plant, and in Nebraska are moderately susceptible to many of the commonly used miticides. On the other hand, TSM tend to appear in mid to late season, increase rapidly, feed over the entire plant, and often are not consistently controlled by available pesticides.

Q: valgrind and iOS SDK 4.2? Having problems running iOS 4.2 apps with valgrind.
I installed valgrind 3.6.0-SVN from Macports. XCode 3.2.5.
When I modify my main() to run valgrind I get the following output:

The error seems to be pretty clear. How can I fix this? I've heard of successful attempts running valgrind on SDK 3.x. What has changed?
Any other advice?

A: This is a hideous hack, and I have no idea what the implications are... but it did solve the problem:
In your valgrind source, open up vg_preloaded.c and find line 163 (referenced in your stack trace there).  Change the code that is there to:
/*    if (rnd < 0) rnd = open("/dev/random", O_RDONLY);
      read(rnd, &result, sizeof(result)); */
result = random();

This appears to be the only thing that keeps valgrind from working... Your mileage may vary.

A: Add the following to the top of one of your Objective-C files:

#import "stdio.h"
#import "fcntl.h"

int open$UNIX2003(const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode) {
    return open(pathname, flags, mode);

Marijuana is evil. In fact, it's illegal to use one. Cigarettes and liquors are good, they're legal stuffs you know.
Now, people are beginning to understand that not all legally allowed stuffs are good. Remember, all that Hitler did were legal at that time.
All drugs are supposed to have gone clinical trials, double-blind testing, so on and so forth, yet why they are still deadly?
So, if you haven't already done so, throw away those legal gobbledygook out of your mind and trust on your own experience. In my case, I have smoked marijuana after I finished my high school, for two straight years, and I was not addicted to it.
Marijuana is not a brain altering stuff. Cigarettes and liquors are. Meth and other manmade chemicals are worst.
These manmade chemicals, i.e. mind altering drugs, inhibit the brain from manufacturing its own endogenous morphine or endorphin. When it does, the brain will become dependent on the "morphine effect" of the manmade chemicals you are taking, that is how you get addicted.
When you stop taking these addictive chemicals, the brain will experience a shock, having forgotten how to create its own morphine for a long time. That's how you get painful withdrawal symptoms which urge you to come back to chemical consumption.
If you want to avoid withdrawal symptoms, please download our eBook "Towards Healthcare Emancipation 2.x". You'll be glad you did.
Could the active ingredient in marijuana, responsible for its characteristic "high," help turn the tide against the accelerating Alzheimer's epidemic?
A remarkable study published in the journal Molecular Pharmacology in 2006, found that this long vilified plant contains a compound with not one, but two therapeutic properties ideal for addressing both the surface symptom (memory problems) and root cause (brain plaque) of Alzheimer's disease.[i] This is an ironic finding, considering that the prevailing stereotype is that using marijuana "fries" the brain, leading to debilitating memory issues.
On the first account, THC's ability to inhibit the AChE enzyme, is not unlike the mechanism of action behind most Alzheimer's drugs on the market today. Drugs like donepezil (trade name Aricept), for instance, by targeting and inhibiting the brain enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), result in an increase in brain levels of this neurotransmitter, which in turn, results in symptom reduction, i.e. improved memory. Donepezil, however, is riddled with controversy due its well-known association with seizures, which likely reflects its intrinsic neurotoxicity. It is, in fact, a chemical in the same general chemical class as venom, insecticides and chemical war agents, such as nerve gas.
THC is a considerably more effective inhibitor of AChE-induced Aβ deposition than the approved drugs for Alzheimer's disease treatment, donepezil and tacrine, which reduced Aβ aggregation by only 22% and 7%, respectively, at twice the concentration used in our studies.7 Therefore, AChE inhibitors such as THC and its analogues may provide an improved therapeutic for Alzheimer's disease, augmenting acetylcholine levels by preventing neurotransmitter degradation and reducing Aβ aggregation, thereby simultaneously treating both the symptoms and progression of Alzheimer's disease.


Dustin does a good job of looking at the Dodgers roster going in to the offseason. I'd agree that it's going to look a bit different than the one that took the field for the World Series. I'd expect Machado, Dozier and Madsen to be on their way. Hopefully the return of a healthy Cory Seager offsets that somewhat, but with the horrible postseasons put in by Grandal and Hernandez, the team definitely needs to be looking to improve those positions.
On the mound, it's all about what Kershaw does, and to a lesser extent, Ryu. That's a couple of serious lefties at the top of the rotation to replace. How the Dodgers might do that is anyone's guess. Is Urias ready to be a starter? Do they think Maeda is a starter going forward? It should be interesting.
Clearly, this team was good enough to win the National League, but not to beat Boston in the World Series. Can they improve for next season?


Shiftworkers in the UK are facing serious health risks but are getting second class safety because the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) clocks off outside normal office hours.
University of Stirling Professor Andrew Watterson, in his report to be published on 1 June 2009, says the estimated 3.5 million shiftworkers in the UK are getting second class treatment because no staff in HSE, the official government workplace health and safety regulator, are rostered to work outside of normal hours. This means after dark there is no preventive health promotion work and there are no routine graveyard shift health and safety inspections by its 1,300 strong contingent of workplace inspectors. HSE is responsible for policing criminal breaches of health and safety law in sectors including chemicals, nuclear, offshore, construction, agriculture and general manufacturing.
He says that while some workers will always have to work anti-social hours, "that doesn't mean they should be an after-hours army of zombies overlooked by the official safety watchdog. It certainly doesn't mean employers should get away with the more onerous work patterns – longer hours, inadequate breaks between shifts, unpredictable shift patterns - that can lead to serious health problems longer-term." He is concerned that official guidance from HSE plays down many of the chronic health risks and ignores others, like cancer and heart disease, entirely, so that neither workers nor their doctors are likely to make the link between working hours and patterns of poor health.
'While you were sleeping', published online on 1 June in the workers' health and safety journal Hazards, calls for more HSE resources to be targeted at workers on atypical hours, rigorous enforcement of working time law, an end to the UK opt-out from the working time directive's 48-hour working week ceiling, and for the UK government to follow the Danish government's lead and compensate workers with breast cancer related to long-term night work.
Professor Watterson also urges trades unions to step up their campaigns on occupational health issues, including shiftwork, and says at workplace level union safety reps should demand effective risk assessments on shift patterns to ensure the least unhealthy patterns are adopted. Unions should ensure wherever possible their safety rep cover includes workers on atypical shifts, including night shifts, he says.
1. Professor Andrew Watterson is director of the Occupational and Environmental Health Research Group, University of Stirling, Scotland.
2. While you were sleeping, Hazards, June 2009. Published online 1 June 2009. Related working hours webpages.
4. There have been just two HSE working time-related prosecutions since 2001 but these were not on health issues. Since 2001/02, HSE has issued 38 improvement notices relating to the Working Time Regulations, although since 2003 no year has seen more than two notices. Between 2004/05 and 2007/08, HSE took just 16 prosecutions on any work-related health issues, compared to over 4,700 prosecutions for safety offences.
5. The latest TUC biennial survey of safety reps showed long hours were a growing workplace health concern, with 24 per cent identifying it as a top concern in 2008, compared to 21 per cent in 2006 and 22 per cent in 2004 (TUC survey, October 2008).
6. Responding to an alert from IARC, the UN's cancer agency, the Danish authorities have introduced an enhanced inspections and prevention programme and have recognised long-term night work as a cause of occupational breast cancer and have compensated affected workers. An estimated 400,000 women in Great Britain are involved in night work. HSE says it has no plans to revise its current practice.

The Historical Impact of Uncle Tom's Cabin
By Guest Blogger Lyn Cote
According to legend, Abraham Lincoln greeted Harriet Beecher Stowe (a daughter of the famous Beecher Family.)
Beecher Family
in 1862 with "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war." Whether the story is true or not, the sentiment underscores the connection between Uncle Tom's Cabin and the Civil War. The quote did not appear in print until 1896, so you can decide for yourself.
In the first year Uncle Tom's Cabin was published, 300,000 copies were sold in the United States. One million copies in Great Britain. In 1855, three years after it was published, it was called "the most popular novel of our day."
The Compromise of 1850 is said to have sparked author Harriet Beecher Stowe's decision to write this novel. Enacted September 18, 1850, the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required federal judicial officials in all states and territories, including in which slavery was prohibited, to actively assist with the return of escaped slaves to their masters. Law-enforcement officials everywhere in the United States had a duty to arrest anyone suspected of being a fugitive slave on no more evidence than a sworn testimony of ownership.
The suspected slave could not ask for a jury trial or testify on his or her own behalf. Any person aiding a runaway slave by providing food or shelter was to be subject to six months' imprisonment and a $1,000 fine. In addition to federal officials, the ordinary citizens of free states could be summoned to join a posse and be required to assist in the capture of an escaped slave.
This law made it possible that if a freedman were claimed to be an escaped slave, he or she could not resist his or her return to slavery by truthfully telling his or her own actual history. The critical and very unpopular provision was that ordinary citizens were required to aid slave catchers. Many northerners deeply resented this requirement that they personally aid and abet slavery.
I would say that the Compromise of 1850 supplied the kindling and Harriet's book lit the fire that brought the end of slavery. Up until Uncle Tom's Cabin, the average Northerner disapproved of slavery but did not push for its end. Now they could no longer stand on the sidelines. They had been drafted into supporting slavery. And the novel portrayed slavery with people Northerners could identify and sympathize with. And when the book was made into a popular play that toured the country, the anti-slavery sentiment cast a wider net.
Eliza is crossing the ice-crusted Ohio River to freedom.
America has had other books that have urged social changes. Another example is Upton Sinclair's THE JUNGLE which portrayed an immigrant family working in the Chicago Stockyards. This book caused a public outcry about food standards and working conditions. Americans, it seems, need to see issues in the context of people and their lives in order to call for change.
Lyn Cote is an award-winning author of over forty inspirational novels. Her latest series, "Quaker Brides," follows a mother and her two daughters, HONOR, BLESSING and FAITH, as they work for the end of slavery from the beginning of the abolition movement in 1820 to the Civil War. FAITH has just been released this month. Connect with Lyn at www.LynCote.com or on Facebook "Lyn Cote, Author."

Lyn, thank you for your post. It's a great reminder that as we develop our fiction stories they have a greater influence for change than we can imagine.

Thank you for once again calling attention to this important time in our history. I live about 18 miles from Washington, KY and it had been told that Harriet witnessed a slave auction there and was motivated to write this classic novel. Our area is also known for it's activities regarding the Underground Railroad.

ROLLING FOR INITIATIVE--WHAT ARE HEURISTICS AND HOW DO THEY AFFECT THE GAME INDUSTRY?
Posted by Scott Thorne on October 9, 2017 @ 1:04 am CT
Rolling for Initiative is a weekly column by Scott Thorne, PhD, owner of Castle Perilous Games & Books in Carbondale, Illinois and instructor in marketing at Southeast Missouri State University. This week, Thorne explores the concept of heuristic and how they change.
Every so often I like to take a look at social sciences and behavioral economics and see how they apply to game retailing, the game industry and even the comic industry so this week let us digress into the area of heuristics. Heuristics can best be thought of as a set of internal rules that we develop based on prior experience and readily available information that we use to solve problems facing us. If, for example, you have tried pizza in the past and liked it, if a friend asks you to go out for pizza or order one in for dinner, you are likely to agree. Other factors will influence the decision such as how much money you have and if you like the restaurant from which your friend proposes to order pizza (another heuristic).
Stores use heuristics to help us when we decide which products to order and how much of a product. A classic example is that numbers on the second or third set in a Magic: The Gathering block generally run significantly smaller than do orders on the first set in a new block. Over time, stores have learned that the second set in a block generally sells much more slowly and in smaller quantities than does the first set, hence orders of the new set come in smaller and stores now use this as a heuristic when putting in orders for sets. Similarly, in the comic industry, second issues of new comic series are notoriously harder to find than are first issues. This is due to the heuristic that comic retailers have developed over time that "Customers pick up the first issue of a title to determine if they like it. A certain percentage will not and so will not pick up the second issue, so order fewer issues of issue #2."
Much like any belief, heuristics can and do change over time as store owners receive information that causes them to change. A great example of this is the "TableTop bump." When the TableTop webseries first premiered, stores noticed a significant increase in sales of titles that had appeared on the series. Sales of Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride and Last Night on Earth, while steady at the time, saw noticeable upturns in sales after the game appeared on the show.
This bump in sales proved reliable enough that stores planned increased orders of a game for the period right after an episode dropped and saw increased sales of the game for several months afterward. This continued for the first two seasons of the show but the power of TableTop to drive sales of a game that appeared on the series waned markedly as customers did not purchase the games featured on the third and fourth seasons as avidly as they did the games on the first two seasons. The heuristic used by the store changed from "Stock larger quantities of whatever game is on the new episode of TableTop" to "Oh, there's a new episode of TableTop out? I will watch it when I get time." Why the change? I have not looked into the reasons but the heuristic did definitely change as any will with additional information and/or changes in belief.

Tresiba® Demonstrated Significantly Improved Blood Sugar Control and Lower Rates of Hypoglycaemia Versus Insulin Glargine U300 in Real-World Evidence Study
Orlando, Florida (ots/PRNewswire)
Adults with type 2 diabetes treated with Tresiba® (insulin degludec injection) had a significant reduction in HbA1c and a 30% lower rate of hypoglycaemic episodes after starting basal insulin
Findings from CONFIRM - a large real-world evidence (RWE) study comparing the effectiveness of Tresiba® (insulin degludec injection) versus insulin glargine U300 - will be presented on Monday, 25 June 2018 at the American Diabetes Association's 78th Scientific Sessions (ADA) in Orlando, US. The retrospective, non-interventional comparative effectiveness study, which included more than 4,000 adults with type 2 diabetes who were starting basal insulin for the first time, showed that after six months those treated with Tresiba® had significantly lower HbA1c compared to those treated with insulin glargine U300 (-1.5% vs. -1.2% respectively; p=0.029).[1]
As a secondary endpoint, there was a 30% lower rate of hypoglycaemic episodes with Tresiba® compared to insulin glargine U300 (p=0.045).[1] In this study, hypoglycaemic events, ranging from mild to severe, were registered using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes 9/10 following diagnosis from a physician.[2]
This real-world study also showed in another secondary endpoint that people treated with Tresiba® were more likely to stay on their treatment. Those treated with insulin glargine U300 had a 37% higher rate of discontinuing treatment after two years (p<0.001).[1]
"Real-world studies are important to understanding how clinical trials may translate into real value for patients in everyday clinical practice," said Todd Hobbs, vice president and US chief medical officer of Novo Nordisk. "The CONFIRM results add to the body of evidence on Tresiba® for adults with type 2 diabetes."
About the CONFIRM study
The CONFIRM study is a retrospective, non-interventional comparative effectiveness study that investigated Tresiba® and insulin glargine U300 (Toujeo®) in 4,056 insulin-naïve (defined as no evidence of basal insulin use at least 365 days prior to index date) adults with type 2 diabetes in the US. Study groups were equal in size (n=2,028) and patients in each group were comparable after matching for baseline characteristics.
Patients were uncontrolled on one or more oral antidiabetic drugs or a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist and prescribed Tresiba® or insulin glargine U300 according to local practice. Electronic health records were sourced from multiple health systems in the US. The primary endpoint was change in HbA1c (blood sugar control) from baseline to six months follow-up. Secondary endpoints included rate of hypoglycaemia, proportion of patients with at least one hypoglycaemic episode and the rate of treatment discontinuation.
As with all real-world studies, CONFIRM was not randomised and it carries the limitations of real-world evidence. This includes potential under-reporting of hypoglycaemia (however, this is the case in both treatment arms in CONFIRM meaning that the rate ratio as well as the odds ratio are expected to be preserved), and the short follow-up period of 3-6 months (though this corresponds to when the largest changes in HbA1c tend to occur and is commonly used in many trials). Additionally, in CONFIRM there is only evidence of prescribed basal insulin and not actual use (whether the medication was picked up at the pharmacy).
About hypoglycaemia
Hypoglycaemia occurs when blood sugar levels are too low and cannot provide the body's organs with the energy they need. Hypoglycaemia can cause a range of symptoms including confusion, trembling, sweating, increased heart rate, difficulty with concentration and speech, and in severe cases can lead to a seizure or coma.[3]-[6]
About Tresiba®
Tresiba® (insulin degludec) is a once-daily basal insulin that provides a duration of action beyond 42 hours with a flat and stable glucose-lowering effect.[7],[8] It has been shown to provide a lower risk of overall, nocturnal and severe hypoglycaemia, and low variability in blood sugar levels versus insulin glargine U100.[8],[9] Tresiba® received its first regulatory approval in September 2012 and has since been approved in more than 80 countries globally. It is now commercially available in more than 61 countries.

An outbreak of E.coli O157:H7 occurred in the western states as a result of eating contaminated ground beef products produced by United Food Group, LLC. The ground beef had been sold under a variety of brand names. The meat was produced in April, 2007. E. coli O157:H7 was isolated in a ground beef sample; the same strain of E.coli O157:H7 was isolated from case-patients. The initial ground beef recall in June was for 75,000 pounds. Within five days, the recall was expanded to include 370,000 pounds of ground beef.

PRINT JOURNALISM
Technology imitating story imitating technology...
Reading this story in the Daily Mirror, I got the distinct sense that I was looking into one of those clever optical illusion paintings of a person looking in a mirror looking at a person inside a mirror, looking at a person inside a... well you know what I mean. The ones that seem to go on forever, one reality containing the next.
A young, poor boy in India visits a train station with his brother. He falls asleep on the train platform. When he awakes, his brother is nowhere in site, but the train has just pulled into the station, and the doors are open right in front of him. Naturally impressed by the yawning maw of the commuter train, a technological wonder that would intrigue any young boy, he makes the pure and childish assumption that his brother must have gotten on the train. He boards the train, which it turns out does not carry his brother (who was only getting snacks back at the station), and which bears him a thousand miles away from his village.
Lost to his family, reduced to begging in the streets, the little boy gets mercifully picked up by an orphanage, who arrange for him to be adopted by an Australian couple. He then makes the second most important journey of his life via another miraculous piece of technology - an airplane that bears him to his new home.
The boy grows up loved and happy - but never forgets his childhood village, his original mother, the life he had before he left. He has no memory of the name of the village, but can remember certain key landmarks. One day - he hears of a thing called Google Earth. He begins playing with this bit of technology - thinking maybe, just maybe if he uses it to follow the rail lines of India, he will find it: the place where it all began.
Anyone who has used Google Earth enough to find it lurchy and vaguely irritating will appreciate this young man's perseverance. India is a big place. There are a lot of similar looking villages. But he had a picture etched in his mind - and he just kept looking. Zooming in, scouting around, moving on.
And one day - he found it. He recognized a road. He zoomed in. He found his house. His childhood home. After a short delay - some email exhcnages - he boarded another plane and went home. The version of the story I read does not say whether he arrived by train - but if he had ANY sense of narrative arc whatsoever, I assume he did. Then - finding his home empty - he is guided around the corner by a kindly neighbour - and reunited with his mother, whom he recognizes, though she seems a lot taller now that he's a grownup. I further assume that he would have shown her - via Google Earth - where he grew up in Australia. I mean it would only be natural.
This seems like the end of the story - but it is not. Just as naturally -- a movie has to be made. Starring Dev Patel from Slumdog Millionaire - who else? And I can't help but wonder if the movie will inspire other lost, missing, transported or 'dislocated' kids to seek out their childhood haunts via this technology, to look back through a lens that less than a generation ago would have been non-existant, and act upon what they see there.
Then maybe we'll make another movie about that new phenomena. The life, tech, story, life, tech, story loop could go on for quite ahwile here. Already there are people out there who will investigate Google Earth 'mysteries' for you. This woman has a project called, "Diane Goes For You" where she gads about Europe, visiting specific "odd spots" and answering people's queries about unusual or mysterious things they've seen on Google Earth. Does this tree really float - are these guys doing a shady deal? Is that woman in distress?
But seriously. Google Earth to trace the faint childhood memory of a road, a town, a house. To take the unreality of an almost forgotten dream to the very real reunion and cold hard cash of a Hollywood movie deal. You could not make this stuff up.

Julie-Christine Krøvel
A Journey through Versailles with Six Hasselblad Cameras
I visited the premises of Chateau de Versailles for the first time in 1998, bringing along my first Hasselblad camera, the 500C. I immediately felt at home in the gardens. I went back the day after, and the day after that. I traveled back and forth in both the summer and autumn seasons over the last twenty years using the H1D, H2D, H3D, H4D and H6D-50c. There has never been any doubt about which camera I preferred and which camera system made me the most creative.
Norwegian-born and France-based, Julie-Christine Krøvel's deep fascination with history brought her to the southern European country in the 1990s. Enchanted by the Chateau de Versailles, Julie-Christine began a photographic love affair with the historical palace grounds in 1998, shooting its photogenic angles with her 500C. Visiting it frequently for the last twenty years resulted in a beautifully unexpected collection of images using six different Hasselblad cameras.
Camera: H2D-22
JULIE'S HASSELBLADS
Exploring Versailles through the lens of her cameras, Julie's images represent her photographic journey from one Hasselblad to the next. Starting with the analog 500C, Julie switched to her first digital camera, the H1D, in 2005 and slowly made her way through the H System, using the H2D, H3D, H4D, and H6D-50c to showcase the beauty of Versailles. "I love bringing both film and digital Hasselblads into the project; it's totally different ways of working. At the start of my project, I used special cut medium format infrared color film with the 500C. In my digital images, I have kept the look of that film somehow, producing vivid and special colors," says Julie. Expressing her vision through the colors captured with infrared colour film, Julie was able to stop time and display Versailles' beauty from a surreal perspective.
Camera: 500C
Using medium format infrared colour film
I would describe my style as colorful, artistic and personal, focusing on different light techniques. I'm very focused on the use of light and color grading. I use creative color flash techniques, flash-daylight, and more. The use of light is everything to me; that's what photography is all about.
I remember bringing the H1D inside the palace and passing security. They stopped me, looked a bit surprised, and asked me what I had brought with me. "It's a camera," I said. He smiled and said he had never seen such a big camera. It wasn't lots of people going around in the streets with the H1D, and therefore, causing a bit of attention sometimes. It was a dedicated project bringing a camera here. But, I have never compromised on quality and when I'm shooting with Hasselblad, I'm at my best as a photographer.
Camera: H1D
Even though much of the premises was restored after the French Revolution, it contains a lot of the same objects and images of its time. Infrared photography indoors was not my first choice as it would change the interior and colours, and that would be wrong. Interior photography was a bit difficult to combine with the rest of my images from my previous journeys. But measuring daylight in different techniques as well as keeping the subtle light and atmosphere, I think I succeeded in bringing in my previous style when shooting inside the palace.
When I'm shooting with Hasselblad, I'm at my best as a photographer. It makes me produce high depth tonality which I have never seen with any other camera. My greatest satisfaction with Hasselblad cameras are their vivid colors and immense sharpness. In fashion, I use lots of different light sources and flash-daylight techniques where I need to adjust the shutter and light source variable; that's possible with Hasselblad due to the construction of the shutter inside the lens. I have used Hasselblad for all types of photography – shooting fashion in the back of a small plane, in snow storms, at the beach, in endless rain and commercial landscape photography on top of roofs, in lifts, on boats. It never fails me!
ABOUT JULIE-CHRISTINE KRØVEL
Fashion and beauty photographer Julie-Christine Krøvel has been dedicated to the Hasselblad system since the 1990s. Raised in Oslo, Julie received an education in photography in Denmark and started her professional career in 2003. With a special connection to France, it became her second home; Julie now works half the time in Paris, where she feels her work is much more understood. Staying true to her artistic identity while working commercially, she loves to experiment with different light sources, filters, and processing techniques. See more of Julie's work here.

Tom Oldham
Silent Street Portraits with the XCD 45P
Hasselblad H System photographer Tom Oldham was one of the first in the world to put the new XCD 45P lens, the world's lightest digital medium format autofocus lens on the market today, to the test in the low winter light of London. Its compact design and nearly silent shutter coupled with the X1D II made for an ideal combination for shooting street portraits, minimizing the feeling of a camera between the photographer and subject.

Testing out the H6D-100c and HC Macro 120mm to capture their newest line-up of timepieces, we spoke to co-founder Simone Nunziato, who tells us all about the outstanding capabilities of using the H6D-100c to carry out the extremely difficult task of photographing watches and all their minuscule details.
Ruairidh Mcglynn
The Cruel Beauty of Winter in the Scottish Highlands
Ruairidh McGlynn has always been drawn to otherworldly landscapes – and for him, the harsher the environment, the better. Seeking out the winter storms of the Scottish Highlands, he ventured into rain, sleet and snow in weather as cold as -15°C (5°F) with the X1D and XCD 45. Here, Ruairidh was intrigued to capture the cruel beauty of the area's intense conditions, seeing the Highlands from a fresh, snowy perspective.
Capturing The Beatles, Bowie, and More Iconic Faces of the Sixties
As the celebrity photographer of the 1960s and 70s, Terry O'Neill photographed them all, from Audrey Hepburn to Brigitte Bardot to Frank Sinatra – and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Capturing these figures with his Hasselblad 500CM, his images have stood the test of time as iconic snapshots of some of history's biggest pop culture icons.
Swedish photo duo AORTA wanted to create a set of images that said something about the complexity of shaping an identity in the contemporary world and the paradox of choice. To illustrate this, the duo collaborated with sustainable Swedish fashion designer Helena Lundström, showing different phases of the subject trying to cut, measure and sow their way through the journey of figuring out who they are.

Details of Robin Thicke and the Ticket Luck value
Multi-Talented and Multiple Times Grammy Award Winner, Robin Thicke has earned success not just as a singer but also as a song writer, producer, composer and even actor as well. Ever since he made his way in to the music industry back in 1994, he has not just given highly appreciated hit singles but has also produced some of the most notable hit singles of other famed acts like Jenifer Hudson, Usher, Michael Jackson and Will Smith.
Son to the couple of Alan Thicke and Gloria Loring, Robin Thicke was born on March 10, 1977 in Los Angeles. Back in the days of his early childhood, Thicke devoted his ears to the music of the acts like Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, Babyface, Kurtis Blow, NWA and Boyz II Men, which is why the music that he creates is always separated out to the Genre of R&B and Soul music. Although did listen some of the highly acclaimed rock and roll acts as well, but he decided to couple himself with the R&B and Soul genre; a relationship that remains intact even today.
Thicke made his debut as an R&B singer and song writer back in 2003, when he released his debut album titled 'A Beautiful World', on April 15. Featuring hit singles like A Beautiful World, Im'A Be Alright and When I Get You Alone. The latter one came out to be Thicke's break through hit, as it helped him get enough fan following and exposure to release his second studio album in 2006 titled 'The Evolution of Robin Thicke.' His second album literally outsold its predecessor and sold more than 20,000 copies in the week it debuted. Almost a year before the release of the album, Thicke released the first single of his second album entitled "Wanna Love You Girl". The single was produced by Pharrell and came out to be a mega hit. The single received ample amount of airplay on various UK Radio Stations, which is why a remix version of the song, featuring Busta Rhymes, was also released later. The single that followed "Wanna Love You Girl" was the ballad "Lost without you", which also, like its precursor received substantial amount of airplay on several Urban Radio Channels and peaked at #1 Spot on Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs. Following his first chart topping hit, Thicke also earned him the title of being the only white male singer, after George Michael, to top the R&B music chart ever. The album on its own was nothing less than a success story itself, just like the singles that it followed. Peaking at #1 spot on Billboard Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums Chart, the album sold more than 1.5 Million units in United States only, and became the highest selling album by Thicke, ever. "The Evolution of Robin Thicke" also earned him several nominations including a nomination for BET Awards, Soul Train Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, MOBO Awards, American Music Awards and VH1 Soul/VIBE Awards, along with quite a few award wins including Soul Train Award for Best R&B Album and VH1 Soul/VIBE Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year. He also went on a tour subsequently, after the release of the album.
Following the success that he attained with the release of his second album, Thicke gave his fans his third album to listen to on September 30, 2008, which was titled 'Something Else.' The album featured hit singles like Magic, The Sweetest Love, and Dreamworld, and peaked at #3 Spot on Billboard 200, as it sold 136,944 units in its debut week.
Thicke plans to continue right from where he left after his third album, as his fourth album "Sex Therapy" is scheduled to be released on December 15, 2009. He released the first single of the album entitled "Sex Therapy" on October 20, and is all set up for his 5 upcoming performances, one of which will be at the Soul Train Awards on November 29, 2009. The other four performances are meant to be staged at the Nokia Theatre Times Square, Riviera Theatre, Warfield Theatre and Club Nokia at L.A Live.
