Speaking of People is a powerful group exhibition that focuses on the many ways contemporary artists have taken inspiration from the pages of Ebony and Jet magazines. For more than a few, the actual pages themselves serve as a point of departure. For others, the socially coded messages of the magazines are revivified, examined, and at times completely transformed. Issues of race, identity, the impact of the media on self-perception, and sexuality comprise the sinews of this politically engaged exhibition.
The show's curator, Lauren Haynes, has put together a smart collection of essays in an accompanying catalog that describe the historical relevance of these two magazines as organs of black speech, thought, and community. As Thelma Golden writes in an introductory essay, "Ebony and Jet provided and shaped a history—our history, my history, black history." Hank Willis Thomas, who has several works in the exhibition, corroborates Golden's perspective. He writes that "[Ebony and Jet] created the greatest living archive of the African-American experience over the past seventy years." Thomas quotes the comedian Redd Foxx, who called these magazines "the bible for black people." Without a doubt, they are cultural icons—though none of the artists make any effort to place them on a pedestal.
The first work one sees upon entering the exhibition is a painting by Jeremy Okai Davis, "Makes the Man" (2012), that exemplifies the type of media-oriented identity issues explored in the show. The painting features two cans of pomade on either side of a skinless face. A large black Afro, clear eyes, and broadly smiling mouth appear to float on a field of splotchy pink paint above the phrase "MAKES THE MAN." The painting references popular advertisements that ran in Jet and Ebony with a critical eye towards the commodification of a person's appearance as a marker of worth or manhood.
From deeper in the exhibition one hears the phrase, "My complexion is political," being repeated several times. Following the voice leads to "On Black Foundations" (2012), a compact installation with a video component created by Theaster Gates. The installation is comprised of a vitrine with a range of Fashion Fair cosmetics on display. (Fashion Fair Cosmetics is a sister company of Jet and Ebony that designs skin products for black women.) In the video above the vitrine a dark-skinned woman—without any makeup—proclaims her beauty and self worth. The title of the work plays on the notion of foundations, co-mingling a sense of one's heritage with a base layer of facial makeup.
The woman's voice echoes around the exhibition and imbues other work with its message, much of which extends a critical perspective on concepts of beauty, women, and their skin. Hank Willis Thomas and Mickalene Thomas have both created work based on Jet magazine's "Beauty of the Week" series, in which young black bikini-clad women are pictured beside a list of their hobbies, jobs, educational backgrounds, and often dress sizes. However, each artist uses the material to different ends. Mickalene's collages reassert a sense of feminine empowerment, while Hank'sinstallation, "Black is Beautiful" (2008) wallpapers a room with thousands of "Beauty of the Week" pictures. The former trades raw sexuality for a sense of intellectual astuteness while the latter shifts the focus from the female body to an analysis of how the female body is represented in the media.
There are many astute pieces that turn from beauty back to beauty products, such as Ellen Gallagher's "Deluxe" (2004 – 05) which features 60 unique etchings, each of which is based on a magazine page advertising hair pomades, wigs, or skin lightening creams. Like Davis's depiction of a face in "Makes the Man," Gallagher remodels afros, eyeballs, and lips with astonishing variety, transforming commercial representations into fantastic images that verge on supernatural. Elsewhere a suite of Glenn Ligon's early drawings from the mid-'80s juxtaposes famous modernist sculpture, like Brancusi's "Endless Column," with hair pomades in a sly move that suggests the influence of African culture on European modernists.
One can hardly move through a show that is so saturated with notions of beauty without pushing into the realm of outright sexuality. Ayanah Moor's installation "Good News" (2011) moves in exactly that direction. Her work quotes from a 1980s article in Ebony, "What They Say About the Men in Their Towns," except she substitutes the word "women" for "men," shifting the gender politics into a queer dimension. It is the only work in the show that brings in a homosexual perspective, and in doing so it upends the traditional notion of women aspiring to beauty to attract men. Furthermore, the piece recognizes a community that has been largely ostracized from Jet and Ebony.
What is absent from this exhibition is just as notable as what's present. There is no work that addresses issues of outright violence, injustice, or poverty. There are no images of guns, gold, or flashy vehicles. In this sense, the exhibition does not pander in the least to contemporary events or media trends. There is no sense of victimization. If anything there is a quiet sense of racial pride that pulses through the show. This may be on account of the temper of the magazines, but just as likely it emerges from the artists willful embrace and reinvigoration of important historical touchstones.

Condolences - Dr. Mahmoud Ellozy
Dear AUC Community,
It is with great sadness that I share the news of the death of professor emeritus Dr. Mahmoud Ellozy, who passed away last night in his home. The funeral took place earlier today.
Condolences may be sent to his spouse Sawsasn Mardini via email sawsanmr@aucegypt.edu or phone 0122-1006018.
Ellozy retired from AUC in 2020, after spending over 30 years as a member of the AUC faculty, first in the Department of Comparative English Literature, and more recently in the Department of the Arts. Following his retirement, AUC conferred upon El Lozy the status of Professor Emeritus. This is a reflection of his long-standing service and contributions to AUC, and was based on the unanimous endorsement of the Department of Arts, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences Council and the Provost's Council.
Ellozy was both an educator and an artist. He was a playwright, actor and director who appeared on stage, television and film, performing and directing both English and Arabic productions.
I extend my deepest condolences to Ellozy's family, as well as to his colleagues and students across AUC. His loss will be felt by our community and across the Egyptian arts world.

As 2017 comes to a close, it is important to look back on all that labor has accomplished this year. We defeated the Constitutional Convention, we stood together to rally for better workplace standards and protections for construction workers, we rallied to support striking IBEW Local 3 cable workers, we stood with our immigrant and undocumented sisters and brothers for the right to live and work with dignity in the city and country they love. At our annual awards reception, we honored IBEW President Lonnie R. Stephenson, IBT Local 831 President Harry Nespoli, and the Retail Action Project for their continued commitment to protecting and advancing better workplace standards for hardworking New Yorkers. We were proud to have Workers United Secretary-Treasurer Edgar Romney and IATSE Local One President James J. Claffey, Jr. lead this year's Labor Day Parade up 5th Ave., and remind New York City why a unified labor movement leads the way and sets the standard that other movements follow.
As we look head to 2018, we look forward to continuing to support the hard work of the men and women who help make our city great. We must continue to stand together and to educate and remind workers of the benefits of union membership. Yes, we know that unions brought us the weekend, child safety laws, and the 40 hour work week, but we must remain on the front lines of ensuring that all workers are able to live and work with dignity, and without fear of deportation. We are standing up for workers, because they are the lifeblood of the labor movement, and of our city. And just like last year, we are grateful that you have continued to stand with us. Together, we can create the change that working people need. We are all stronger together.

Ye Olde Curiosity Constitution
Dusty parchments, ancient offices and precedents that outline "the way things are done" define the British constitution. Its anachronisms are often a hoot, but can also give rise to some very strange wrinkles in the way we are governed
1 The Crown
The line of monarchs traces back to jostling Saxon kingdoms, before England was a thing, and a crowned head has sat at the constitution's apex since, except when it was briefly knocked off its perch in the 17th century.
Royal Assent for new laws has not been refused since 1708. By contrast, royal prerogatives to, for example, prorogue parliament and declare war retain bite. Though mostly discharged by ministers in the crown's name, the ancient source of the power can have odd consequences. Repealing the Fixed-term Parliaments Act, for example, may not neatly restore the monarch's traditional prerogative to call an election.
2 "Time immemorial" and the Common Law
The origins of English Common Law may be lost in the sands of time, but since a 1275 statute, England's legal memory has been precisely defined as beginning on 6th July 1189, the start of Richard the Lionheart's reign. Lawyers refer to anything earlier as "time immemorial" or "time out of mind." Case law evolves, so this legal year zero doesn't often crop up today. But in theory at least it could still do so—one way to secure a right of way, for example, might still be to argue it had applied "since time immemorial."

Citizen Scientists Help Parse the Native/Nativar Debate
By Maureen Sundberg on July 15, 2019 in Beneficials/Pollinators, Native Plants
by Jessamine (Jessa) Finch
The current environmental moment is dominated by messaging about the importance of animal-mediated pollination in response to the recent, alarming pollinator declines. Contributing factors include habitat loss, agriculture chemicals, and disease, and affect honeybees and native pollinators alike. One of the most common "calls to action" included in such messaging encourages the creation of pollinator-friendly gardens. These spaces are intended to support the foraging and nesting needs of pollinators, but differ from ecological restoration in that they are marketed to homeowners, schools, and parks as a managed, attractive landscape.

Given their shared evolutionary history, native plants are promoted as a key ingredient of pollinator gardens, especially those designed to support native pollinators. However, the popularity and wide availability of cultivated varieties (cultivars) of native plants can be a stumbling block in plant purchasing and garden design. Often, cultivars of natives are labeled as "native plants," despite the fact that they can differ substantially from the true native. Cultivars can vary in flower color, size, and scent, as well as bloom time, all traits directly related to attractiveness to and use by pollinators. This begs the question, what is the role of cultivars of natives, or nativars, in pollinator habitat creation? To answer that question, we need to know if nativars provide the same pollinator support as true native plants.
Our partner nursery, Lurvey Landscape Supply (Des Plaines, IL), shares an informational display about the Nativars research project.
Previous Nativars Research
Research to date on this question has been limited in geographic, taxonomic, and temporal scope. The dissertation of Annie White (2016, University of Vermont) focused on 12 native herbaceous plant species and 14 native cultivars, tracking pollinator visitation in field experiments at two sites over two years. Her results found seven native species were visited significantly more frequently by pollinators than their cultivars, four were visited equally, and in only one case was a cultivar visited more frequently than the native species. Similar investigations are underway at the Mt. Cuba Center, including one considering Coreopsis (5 native species, 20 cultivars; Cass & Delaney, 2014) and another on Phlox (6 native species, 2 subspecies, 15 cultivars; Nevison, 2016). The Phlox study found that insect visitation did not significantly differ between cultivars and the straight species in the majority of cases. However, certain cultivars, particularly those selected from the wild, may be more attractive to insects than the straight species. For more information on Mt. Cuba's trials check out https://mtcubacenter.org/research/trial-garden/.
Enter: Citizen Scientists
Given that one major application of this area of research is to inform home gardeners interested in supporting pollinators, the Budburst team at Chicago Botanic Garden thought this question was a great opportunity to engage the public in a research investigation. We decided to leverage citizen science to elevate pollinator-friendly gardens to pollinator research gardens and gather data on pollinator preferences across the country. To that end, Budburst launched the Nativars Research Project in 2018, bringing together home gardeners, schools, and botanic gardens to collect data on this critical question.
Participants are asked to plant at least one native species and one cultivar from the plant list for their region and conduct pollinator observations weekly during the flowering period. Data can be collected using paper data sheets and entered online via a Budburst account. Our mobile-responsive website also allows you to directly submit observations from a mobile device. Plant lists were developed based on the three hubs for the project: Chicago Botanic Garden, Denver Botanic Gardens, and San Diego Botanic Garden.
Shown here is a subset of the native plants and cultivars evaluated as part of the Nativars research project in the Midwest. From top to bottom: red columbine (Aquilegia canadensis), black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia fulgida), New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae).

In the Chicago region, Budburst has collaborated with the Chicago and Waukegan School Districts to weave the Nativars research project into life sciences curriculum for students in grades 2-8. Each participating school installs a Nativars research garden and observes pollinators as part of a two-week unit covering the form and function of plants and animals, as well as human impacts on the environment.

Early Results: Native Plants Are in the Lead
While we have not yet conducted a formal statistical analysis, data for the Midwest plants indicate that mean pollinator visits per minute are higher for true native plants than for their cultivars. However, we also see considerable variation among cultivars, which is not always consistent with our expectation that the greater the degree of trait divergence from the native the greater the impact on pollinator visitation. For example, for red columbine, the most visited cultivar, 'Corbett' (1.29 visits/minute), has yellow flowers, yet received more visits than the pink and red cultivars considered. However, the other yellow cultivar evaluated, 'Songbird Goldfinch,' was visited the least (0.24 visits/min.). In the case of black-eyed Susan, all cultivars received roughly equivalent pollinator visits (0.15-0.2 visits/min.), at less than half the rate of the true native (0.41 visits/min.). The most dramatic results thus far are for New England aster, for which we see the native (1.3 visits/min.) visited by pollinators at four times the rate of the cultivars (0.25-0.33 visits/min.).
Mean number of pollinator visits per minute to native plants and their cultivars. Numbers within point indicate the number of observation minutes per taxon. Error bars represent 1 SE.
Another expected result was variation in the composition of the floral visitors between native plants and their cultivars due to floral trait manipulation. However, the composition of the floral visitors is largely similar between native plants and their cultivars (Fig. 6). Across all study taxa, the most frequent floral visitors are small bees and flies and honeybees. Importantly, we do see some instances where the diversity of floral visitors varies, for example between the wild type New England aster (4 pollinator groups observed) and 'Purple Dome' (2 groups). Oppositely, 'Little Lantern' and 'Pink Lanterns' attracted a greater diversity of pollinators (5 groups) than the wild type red columbine (2 groups).

Join Budburst Nativars!
While these early results provide interesting insights, with some evidence to suggest that cultivars may not provide equal support for pollinators as true native plants, more data is required before we can draw robust conclusions. Consider joining the Nativars research project to contribute vital data that will help us answer a critical question in pollinator conservation! If any of the study taxa are already a part of your landscape, all you have to do is learn the observation protocol and dedicate 10 minutes a week. Otherwise, contact your local nursery for plant availability. In 2021, Budburst will undertake a thorough analysis of all submitted data, which we hope will bring greater clarity as to the role of cultivars in ecological landscapes.

FARMERS and auction marts are owed £2m out of total debts of almost £9m left by Perth Fresh Meats.
That part of the Beck Food Group has been sold at an undisclosed figure to Anglo Beef Processors. A meat plant at Boston, Lincs, and a smoked salmon business in Perth are still up for sale.
Receiver Iain Bennet of Price Waterhouse said he thought a "reasonable" dividend would eventually be paid to creditors.
Perth Fresh Meats had a turnover of about £60m and handled up to 10,000 lambs and 1500 cattle each week. The collapse followed withdrawal of lucrative contracts by Safeway and Tesco after concerns about hygiene and general standards at the plant. All 350 employees were made redundant.


Conarium, Puzzle Game With Light Horror Approach - DecayMag.
Conarium has stunning graphics. The visuals are up to par with in-game details and environments. The color scheme and ascetics work together with flawlessness. Together these components help create a grimy, and eerie atmosphere. Another superb feature for Conarium is the control scheme. The learning curve is not complex and easy to understand. Also, the sound design and score have originality. The story is interesting and keeps the player entertained and well engaged.
Conarium is not original, It feels like as a mash-up of other horror games such as Resident Evil and Bioshock. The voice acting also feels weak in delivery. However, the two major downfalls for Conarium. First is the game is not that scary. During gameplay, only a couple of scares occurred but nothing horrifying. Second, is the theme, The developers for Conarium made a gorgeous looking game. However, they focused more on the puzzle aspect instead of making the game scary. The third flaw is the replay value. Conarium cannot fulfill the same level of enjoyment over and over again.
The game is entertaining and intriguing yet with an overall feel of a mash up. Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, and Bioshock could be the three games in one, Conarium.The game can be summed as an enjoyable experience but once completed I see no one replay value.

Q: Thread synchronization - writer priority locks So, I am using C on a unix system and have access to the pthreads & semaphore.h libraries.
Here is the problem (I believe this boils down to a "writer priority rw lock" problem):
For simplicities sake, I have two different processes that a thread can run: A & B.
B is more important than A, and thus if there is ever a B waiting to run, I do not want any more A processes to start executing until all of the B processes have run. Additionally, while multiple A processes can run concurrently, only 1 B process can execute at a time.
The current way I am doing this (which I believe to either be wrong, inefficient, or both) is to have the B processes require a lock for their entire execution time and the A processes will acquire and immediately release the lock at the beginning of their execution. I am also using semaphores here to allow for the multi-reader/single writer functionality.
For various reasons, the pthread_rwlock functionality is not usable on this system, so the solution can't involve them.

A: If A is going to immediately release the lock, but continue using whatever resource it is that you want to lock, then why do you even bother locking to begin with?
You said:
-Multiple A's can run simultaneously
-Only one B can run at a time
I'm assuming (but correct me if I'm wrong):
-B and A cannot run at the same time
If you immediately release the lock from A then that's going to allow a B to run at the same time.  Am I missing anything here?
The solution:
Have a mechanism that gets the resource for the a threads.  That mechanism only puts a lock on the resource one time when the first A thread starts and releases it only when all A threads are gone.
Have a cancel token for the A threads to use that gets set to true when a B thread begins, then when all A threads have exited the B thread can begin.
The B thread obviously locks and doesn't release until it's completed.
Don't forget to check the cancel token frequently enough in the A thread so that it doesn't take too long to exit when asked.

Here's Why Vanda Pharmaceuticals Stock Soared on Thursday

Shares of Vanda Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:VNDA), a commercial-stage biotechnology company, jumped in response to the company's second-quarter earnings call. Investors happy about what management had to say drove the stock 26.8% higher on Thursday.
In the first quarter, Vanda reported a steep revenue drop, and investors were glad to see sales are back on track. In the second quarter net sales of Hetlioz, a treatment for non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder, came in 24% higher than during the first quarter. Vanda's schizophrenia drug, Fanapt, rose 13% compared to the first quarter.
From the beginning of 2019 through yesterday this stock lost half its value, thanks to a partial clinical hold slapped on a motion-sickness candidate earlier this year by the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA is in a huff because the company failed to include required animal studies, and the stock sank after Vanda announced it would take legal action against the FDA, instead of just meeting the usual requirements for non-rodent animal studies.
Management tried to get investors on board by telling them the sacrificing of dogs is cruel and unnecessary, which doesn't jibe with standard drug development practices. Dogs have blood-brain barriers that are a lot more permeable than ours; the FDA wants to know that an experimental new drug doesn't show up in dog brains, so the agency can be relatively certain that it won't harm humans either.
Compared to the previous-year period, net revenue rose 25% in the second quarter to $59.1 million. Thanks to a very small outlay for research and development, operations were able to squeeze out a respectable $9.9 million profit.
At the end of June, Vanda's balance sheet had $280 million in cash and securities. While that's more than enough to complete the animal studies the company tried to skip, its very lean operation means this pile will probably continue growing.

The SETAC Russian Language Branch (RLB) actively cooperates with various organizations and scientific communities with ecological profiles both inside the country and abroad. At the moment, our closest links are with the Lomonosov Moscow State University humic group, Mendeleev Russian Chemical Society, Interregional Microbiological Society, Dokuchaev Soil Science Society and All-Russian Hydrobiological Society.
Another line of activity of the SETAC RLB is the direct participation in joint activities of the Young Environmental Scientists from SETAC RLB. So, this spring, a meeting was held with representatives of the international project Europe on Track on sustainable development and climate change.
This summer, SETAC RLB members took part in organizing a large-scale trip across Russia with the summer university Transsiberian DREAM – a project of the local Association des États Généraux des Étudiants de l'Europe (AEGEE) Moskva center. AEGEE is the biggest interdisciplinary student organization in Europe with a network ranging across 161 cities and 40 countries.
Attention is paid to the study of cultural and natural features of the country. This year, the main theme was focused on sustainable development and ecology.
Sessions and workshops were held for foreign participants on this topic. The whole team observed a system of separate collection of garbage.
We were astonished that having overcome 9,288 kilometers, having spent so much time on the road, all without exception were very cheerful and ready for new adventures. As a future expert in the field of ecology, I was pleasantly surprised that the participants sorted the rubbish throughout the route. We realized it when we saw guys carrying large bags of plastic and glass bottles to the hotel.
We provided participants with biodegradable and reusable utensils. We also calculated how many trees we needed to plant after we traveled 9,288 km on a train to offset our carbon footprint. We reduced our ecological footprint by joining the project to plant 100 trees. In Vladivostok, we also managed to study the biodiversity of local flora and fauna by visiting the largest oceanarium in the Far East.

Death of Fox Lake, Illinois, officer likely a suicide, official says
By: CNN Wire
After weeks of mystery and speculation surrounding the death of Fox Lake, Illinois, police Lt. Joe Gliniewicz, officials will say Wednesday they believe suicide was the cause of death, a law enforcement official told CNN.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office announced it would provide "conclusive results of the investigation" at a news conference.
Gliniewicz died of "devastating gunshot wound" to his torso, Lake County Coroner Thomas Rudd said in September.
The last call
The veteran officer had planned to retire in August, but he was asked to stay on for another month.
The last radio call of his more than 30 years on the job was anything but routine. It would signal the beginning of a mystery that stumped investigators for a time.
On the morning of Sept. 1, the lieutenant sent word over his radio at 7:52 a.m. he was pursuing a trio on foot. Three minutes later, he requested backup. Radio communication dropped off. Colleagues would not hear Gliniewicz's voice again.
The backups arrived at about 8 a.m. and a few minutes later found Gliniewicz dead. His body was roughly 50 yards from his cruiser, police said.
Three people who appeared in a surveillance video near the crime scene were cleared of any suspicion.
Gliniewicz was wearing a bulletproof vest at the time he was shot, according to two law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation. One of the officials said Gliniewicz was hit by two shots — one stopped by his bulletproof vest, and another entered his torso at a downward angle.
The officer's .40-caliber pistol was found at the scene. A source involved in the investigation has told CNN in September that Gliniewicz's gun was fired, but it's not clear who pulled the trigger.
Lake County officials have said the case was being handled as a homicide, but other theories remained on the table during the investigation, including the possibility of a self-inflicted fatal gunshot wound.
The coroner has said he can't rule out a homicide, suicide or accident.
A massive manhunt was launched in the aftermath.
More than 400 law enforcement officers raked through the heavy woods near Fox Lake on foot, all-terrain vehicles and horseback.
The FBI, U.S. marshals and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also helped in the hunt as well as police from adjoining areas. But eventually they pulled out, saying no suspects or persons of interest had been identified.


695: How did you start playing ball and how old were you?
Essence: I started playing basketball because it was pretty much a family sports I saw all the males in my family playing so I thought I would try it. I started around the age of 10.
695: Have you played any other sports?
Essence: I cheered for a couple years because the school I went to didn't allow girls on the basketball team. Then I went to play soccer, after that the track coach referred me to run track and I became a natural. I entered middle school and it was a battle between basketball and track. It was not until my first year in high school did I realize that basketball was where I really wanted to be.
Essence: I grew up a couple places. I was born in Georgia, but my mom,grandmother and I moved to DC for my grandmother's career. I lived in North East DC, South East DC and Seat Pleasant, Maryland. We're basically an on the go family.
695: What other hobbies do you have besides sports?
Essence: I like drawing and fixing computers. I'm kind of a technology person. I try to fix anything that's broken.
695: What do you want to add to your game for the next level?
Essence: As I prepare for the next level, I want to become a more versatile player. I want to continue to improve my left hand, see the floor, and recognize better shots. Whether I should shoot it or make the extra pass for my teammates to shoot. I want to become a triple threat knocking down the shot, getting to the basket and finishing, and attracting the defense on the penetration to create open jump shots for my teammates.
695: Which AAU teams have you played for?
Essence: The only AAU team I have ever played for is Team Sol.
Essence: A funny basketball road trip was last season when myself , two of my best friends and three coaches rode to Georgia. The music selection was terrible we were in the car for 8 hrs going up and about 10 coming back. It rained cats and dogs when we came back and the music was even worse. It was terrible at the moment but now that I look back on it I laugh because it was a wild adventure.
695: What are your goals for this summer?
Essence: My goals for this summer are to be a leader for my team like I have thus far. Increase my skill level about three notches so that I will be prepared for the last high school season of my career and continue to go to the gym and become more of a consistent all around ball player.
Essence:I'm most comfortable playing the 1 and 2. Shooting the ball is what I love to do and making plays and talking on defense is what I love most about playing.
695: What type of music do you listen to?
Essence: I have a really wide spread music selection that I listen to before games. I listen to slow jams and sometime fast and exotic songs. I have a lot of Beyonce, Lil Wayne, And the Notorious B.I.G. He's kinda my favorite of all time.
Essence: My favorite player would have to be a tie between Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Their games are similar to me and they are both very dominant players. I wear #23 because I look up to Jordan and I'm fortunate to share a birthday with him.They both are really positive influences to my game.

Clarksville City is a city in Gregg and Upshur counties in the U.S. state of Texas. The population was 780 at the 2020 census.

History
The first settlers arrived in the area before 1845. There was a stagecoach stop at the home of William W. Walters, which was later owned and operated by Warren P. Victory. Though first known as "Gilead", the post office was named "Point Pleasant" in 1852. It closed in 1867. The community withered when the railroad bypassed it in 1873 and Gladewater was established. With the advent of the East Texas Oil Field in 1930, so many homes, businesses, and oil-company camps and offices sprang up along the highway that it was called the Main Street of Texas, and street numbers were designated from Longview to Gladewater. The area around George W. Clark's home on the site of the old stagecoach stop became known as "Clarksville".

After extensive paving projects and other civic improvements in the 1940s and the construction of Lake Gladewater in 1952, the nearby city of Gladewater had a high tax rate and was extending its boundaries. Industrialists in the area to the east became alarmed at the prospect of being taken into Gladewater and taxed more. A movement to incorporate, spearheaded by several oil companies and the L. W. Pelphrey Company, a general contractor specializing in oilfield construction, culminated in a vote to establish Clarksville City on September 14, 1956. Pelphrey was elected mayor and served until his death in August 1961. The bypassed portion of Old Highway 80 is named Pelphrey Drive in his honor.

The population dwindled as drilling reached the state allowable and producing wells became automated. Cities Service Oil Company closed its office and camp in the early 1960s, and Sun Oil Company soon followed. After a population low of 359 in the 1960s, growth was steady. In 1990 Clarksville City had 720 residents and twenty businesses. In 2000 the population was 806. The town has an elected mayor and council with a city manager form of government. The city hall was built in 1962 and doubled in size in 1991. A Texas historical marker for the old community of Point Pleasant is at the city hall.

Geography

Clarksville City is located in northwestern Gregg County at  (32.528866, –94.894344), along U.S. Route 80,  west of Longview and  east of Gladewater.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of , of which  are land and , or 2.49%, are water.

Demographics

At the census of 2010, there were 865 people living in the city. The population density was 127.9 people per square mile (49.4/km2). There were 337 housing units at an average density of 53.5 per square mile (20.7/km2). The racial makeup of the city was 92.56% White, 3.97% African American, 0.25% Native American, 0.62% from other races, and 2.61% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.36% of the population. In 2020, its population was 780; the racial makeup of the city following the 2020 census, within the 2020 American Community Survey, was: 74.6% non-Hispanic white, 5.1% African American, 1.3% Native American, 0.9% two or more races, and 18.1% Hispanic or Latino of any race.

Coalesce Ox EP
By Max Deneau
Leave it to Coalesce to drop one of the finest albums of 2009, then chuck the leftovers at us at the end of the year, reminding listeners and critics everywhere just how good that record was. That's not to say Ox EP doesn't stand on its own as a dynamic, rewarding listen, but it's best viewed as an epilogue, so one doesn't expect another full-blown masterpiece. At seven tracks and just over 16 minutes, the disc is over before it begins, whetting the appetite for a follow-up record that will hopefully come together before the band abruptly break up again, as they have in the past. The metallic tracks here are lumbering, sludgy dirges that steer clear of the hectic mathiness of much of their other material, expanding upon the tasteful blues/Southern elements hinted at on the last two full-lengths. These tracks are book-ended by a series of interludes, eschewing the random noise and sound effects one might expect, allowing some Midwest ambience to buffer the monstrous groove of the record's centrepieces. It may not be the ideal introduction to Coalesce but those enamoured with their sound will see this as the comforting nightcap to Ox's disorienting pub crawl. (Relapse)

Chris Hardwick's '@midnight' Renewed for Fourth Season by Comedy Central
Sara Barry October 9th, 2016 - 10:19 PM
Chris Hardwick's pop culture game show, @midnight, has been renewed for a fourth season by Comedy Central.
"We are really pleased with how Chris and team have opened the aperture of @midnight to cover more of the socially and politically relevant topics of the day, and I defy anyone to find a show with a higher joke-per-minute ratio," Kent Alterman, Comedy Central president, announced on Friday.
@midnight has won two consecutive Emmys for outstanding creative achievement in interactive media/social TV experience. The show reaches the youngest and most-male audience (64 percent) out of any late-night show, and ranks third among men 18-24 and fifth among men 18-34 amongst late-night programs.
Hardwick is executive producer of the series along with Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant, Mike Farah and Joe Farrell of Funny or Die, Alex Blagg, Jason Nadler and Jon Zimelis of the Emmy-winning production company Serious Business. Jack Martin is showrunner. Brillstein's Alex Murray also exec produces with Comedy Central's Gary Mann and Tara Schuster.
"I love making @midnight and we will continue to innovate inappropriate jokes about social media and pop culture in the late-night landscape," Hardwick said. "I'm proud to get to work with this amazing team for another year, and hopefully beyond!"
After the cancellation of Larry Wilmore's The Nightly Show, @midnight moved into its 11:30 p.m. slot – that is, until Comedy Central finds a talk-show to pair with The Daily Show With Trevor Noah.
Hardwick's other projects include The Walking Dead and hosting its after-show Talking Dead. He signed an overall deal with AMC in July. He is founder and CEO of Nerdist Industries, a podcast production company and is next expected to host NBC's upcoming game show The Wall, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Scientists Detect 'Shocking' Drop in Male Fertility, And It's Linked Back to Our Homes
Health05 March 2019
By Carly Cassella
(kkshepel/iStock)
The homes we live in and the food we eat might contain chemicals that reduce male fertility - and that goes for both men and their dogs, new research suggests.
Recently, experts have grown ever more worried by what appears to be a 'shocking' drop in human male fertility.
According to the team behind the latest research, some studies show that in the past 80 years alone, there has been a 50 percent global reduction in sperm quality, and no one can figure out why this is happening.
Then, we looked at dogs - and this could be an important clue. In 2016, a team at the University of Nottingham found that sperm quality had also taken a plummet in domestic dogs over the course of several decades.
Unlike the research on humans, this time the scientists could trace back the sperm quality decrease to dangerous chemicals in the dogs' environment and food.
The results had the team curious: did this mean there was something in the shared environment of dogs and people that was to blame?
Their new research certainly suggests this might be the case. Specifically, the team identified two human-made chemicals, commonly found in homes and diets, that had the same adverse effects on both human sperm and dog sperm.
"This new study supports our theory that the domestic dog is indeed a 'sentinel' or mirror for human male reproductive decline," says Richard Lea, a reproductive biologist at the University of Nottingham.
Using sperm samples from 11 men and 9 dogs in the same region, the researchers tested the effects of two human-made chemicals. One was the common plasticiser DEHP, which is commonly found in carpets, flooring, clothes and toys, and which can leach into our food and drink.
The other is polychlorinated biphenyl 153 (PB153), which belongs to a group of industrial chemicals found to be persistent organic pollutants in the 1960s and 70s.
Using the sperm samples and these two chemicals at concentration levels that are commonly found in our current environments, the researchers carried out identical experiments for the men and the dogs. In both subjects and with both chemicals, the effect was reduced sperm motility and increased fragmentation of DNA.
While sample sizes in this study were low, they do build on matching results found in the 2016 study on dogs, as well as past laboratory and other studies that have shown these chemicals are associated with adverse effects on human fertility.
"We know that when human sperm motility is poor, DNA fragmentation is increased and that human male infertility is linked to increased levels of DNA damage in sperm," says lead author Rebecca Sumner, a developmental biologist at the University of Nottingham.
"We now believe this is the same in pet dogs because they live in the same domestic environment and are exposed to the same household contaminants."
As much as we didn't want to involve our dogs in our mess, there is a silver lining for humans. The study suggests we can maybe use dogs to figure out how pollution decreases fertility, and this could be helpful for two reasons.
Firstly, because dog studies on fertility come without all the stigma and social complications of human studies, and secondly, because external influences like diets are easier to control in dogs.
This study has been published in Scientific Reports.

When historians look back on Stephen Harper's (first?) decade in power, what will they make of the trail of institutional wreckage that his government is leaving in its wake?
Will they conclude that a mastermind determined to change the course of the ship of state at all costs was in charge, or just a bunch of drunken sailors?
The Conservatives came to power in 2006 as institutional reformers. But three mandates later, one would look in vain for a method to the self-destructive madness that they are presiding over.
The Senate: Earlier this week, Liberal Senator Roméo Dallaire announced that he is leaving the upper house, the better to pursue his humanitarian work. Tory Hugh Segal has also moved on this spring to became the new master of the University of Toronto's Massey College.
Think of those two as canaries in an increasingly toxic mine shaft.
Not only have Harper's reform plans for the Senate wilted on the constitutional vine, but some of his appointees have inflicted damage on its reputation, on par with the partisan benefits the prime minister was hoping to reap from milking their high profiles.
In the future, it may take uncommon persuasive skills to convince candidates of the calibre of Segal and Dallaire to join a discredited institution, or even to convince some of those who are still in the Senate to stick around until retirement.
The Supreme Court: The Conservatives promised to make its appointment process more transparent. Instead, they used the measure of opacity that it offered to toy with the eligibility rules, as part of a judge-shopping spree. When they were called out on it, the best they could do was to engage in a lose-lose unseemly shootout with the chief justice.
Statistics Canada: The agency that collects the essential basic information that used to inform public policy in this country was an early target of the Conservative wrecking ball. The elimination of the long-form census — a move for which no coherent policy rationale was ever offered — turned out to be only the first step in the gutting of what was once was an institution of international repute. It would take years to restore it and its data to its former status.
CBC/Radio-Canada: The Conservatives believe that Canada does not need a public broadcaster or at least not one that plays as central a role as CBC has in the country's conversation. Fair enough. But instead of launching a national discussion on the way forward, the government is leaving the corporation to die the death of a thousand cuts.
In every instance, the logic, if there is any, is hard to fathom. For in failing to at least do no harm to these institutions, the prime minister is doing harm to himself and to his government.
The diminishment of CBC/Radio-Canada's role is helping to ensure that Canada's broadcasting environment — in particular in French — is increasingly dominated by a media empire owned by an ambitious sovereigntist politician.
The government is pursuing policies on structural fronts such as immigration and labour force management based on data whose quality falls well short of the material it had at its disposal before it tore off Statistics Canada's wings.
For obvious reasons of poor political optics, Harper has not filled a Senate vacancy since the spending scandal broke. The expectation is that the upper house will continue to empty out at least until next year's federal election.
At the same time, he is trying to farm out part of the responsibility for a now urgent Supreme Court appointment to Quebec's relatively untarnished Liberal government.
But as to what process Harper will be guided by for future Senate and Supreme Court appointments, your guess is as good as mine.
A Forum Research survey revealed this week that the PMO has become one of Canada's least trusted political institutions, almost on par with the maligned Senate.
It may not yet have dawned on its occupants that what Canadians think of the PMO is usually not divorced from their opinion of the leader who runs it.

Well, it's that time to make some new goals. Past history has taught me that I'm not good at keeping New Years goals. But, maybe that is the point of making them. To learn something each year about ourselves that helps us grow. So this year I'm going to focus on each one-one at a time. That's why I'm going to join Judy from Patchwork Times for her 2019 UFO Challenge. I don't have to look at my list as a whole but one project at a time.
Here is my list. It will be fun to see how many of these I'll be able to finally finish.

Welcome to the blogging exercise ICCT class of 2009. Please leave the link to your new blog in the comments.
This (partial) history of the Internet (from Arpanet to Internet) has been created as a show case for a German student's diploma project to develop a visual language for electronic communication called PICOL. I picked it up from Lee Lefever at CommonCraft. The video itself is hosted at VIMEO. I may us it in my upcoming module on Comunications for the Internet.


Not only is Tyler Eifert out for the season, but Tyler Kroft left Sunday's game with a foot injury. For as long as Kroft is out, it would open up the door for Uzomah to become nearly an every-down player. The upcoming schedule can't get any better as the Bengals face the Steelers, Chiefs and Bucs in their next three games. Those three opponents rank as the three most generous opposing defenses to fantasy tight ends this season.
Catchless in his first two games, Brate now has three catches and a touchdown in back-to-back games. With O.J. Howard (MCL) still sidelined coming out of the team's bye, Brate should continue to benefit. The Harvard alum will be a TD-dependent option, like most tight ends, but his outlook is improved for as long as Howard remains out.
You won't feel good about starting Swaim, but the starting tight end now has at least three catches in four of five games including each of the past three. In his three most recent games, Swaim has a combined line of 11/141/1 on 15 targets. Currently the TE14 in PPR formats through Sunday's games, Swaim has been a top-15 PPR option for three consecutive games (although he may fail to hang onto that distinction after Monday night's game).
It's a weird ranking for Doyle, but if you don't need a tight end to start this week, Doyle is the best long-term option on this list. If you need someone to start this week, it's unclear how much more time Doyle will miss. Once he returns to the lineup, however, I'd expect him to be the team's primary tight end with Eric Ebron being more of a complementary option to Doyle -- albeit one that should still be a back-end TE starter in fantasy leagues.
At some point, Gesicki could become a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses due to his freakish athleticism. Up until now, he's been a fantasy-irrelevant option through five weeks.
On a positive note, Gesicki had a season-high five targets in Week 5 and finished with three catches for 26 yards, the second-best game of his career. For those in deeper leagues, there is at least some reason to hold out hope that things will improve as the season progresses for the former Nittany Lion.


Roll, backflip, frontflip and the cross-axis roll are the four basic tricks. They work all the same. You do a full throttle to gain altitude, then press in the direction you would like to flip/roll and throttle down to about 50%. Keep direction until the quadcopter is in level position again.
At half turn backup throttle again to keep the altitude. Usually you need full throttle for a short time to intercept the flip movement. Altitude is your friend!

Agios Kirykos ( ) ist eine Kleinstadt mit rund 2218 Einwohnern (2011) auf der griechischen Insel Ikaria. Zusammen mit den Ortsgemeinschaften Chrysostomos und Perdiki bildet sie seit der Verwaltungsreform 2010 den Gemeindebezirk Agios Kirykos (Δημοτική Ενότητα Αγίου Κηρύκου) in der neu geschaffenen Gemeinde Ikaria.

1918 als Landgemeinde (kinotita) anerkannt, wurde Agios Kirykos im Laufe der Zeit durch Eingemeindungen vergrößert und 1964 zur Stadtgemeinde (dimos) erhoben. 1997 erfolgte die Eingemeindung der Nachbargemeinden.

Lage
Der Gemeindebezirk Agios Kirykos nimmt den östlichen Teil von Ikaria ein. Auf ihrer gesamten Länge wird die Insel von Nordost nach Südwest vom Atheras-Gebirge (Αθέρας; antike Bezeichnung Pramnos Πράμνος), durchzogen. Die Grenze zum westlich gelegenen Gemeindebezirk Evdilos verläuft auf einer Länge von etwa 7 km in unmittelbarer Nähe des Hauptkammes. Hier liegt auch die höchste Erhebung der Insel, der 1037 m hohe Efanos (Εφανός), nur 2 km von der Südküste entfernt. Die nächstgelegenen Inseln sind Fourni 10 km und Samos 19 km östlich. Im Südosten liegt Patmos 35 km entfernt. Nach Mykonos im Westen sind es 45 km und Chios liegt etwa 70 km entfernt nördlich.

Gliederung
Der Gemeindebezirk untergliedert sich in den Stadtbezirk Agios Kirykos und zwei Ortsgemeinschaften mit zahlreichen zerstreut liegenden Siedlungen. Die Einwohnerzahlen entstammen der Volkszählung von 2011.

Agios Kirykos

Agios Kirykos Αγίος Κηρύκος  ist der Verwaltungssitz der Gemeinde Ikaria. Zusammen mit den umliegenden Siedlungen zählt sie 2955 Einwohner, die Kleinstadt Agios Kirykos selbst 2218 Einwohner. Östlich von Agios Kirykos wurde eine jungsteinzeitliche Siedlung entdeckt. Die Fundamente und Böden der Ruinen sind aus Stein, rund und weisen Durchmesser von 3,70 m bis 5,20 m auf. Weitere Archäologische Funde bezeugen eine Besiedlung in der Antike. Vermutlich aufgrund von Piratenüberfällen wurde der Ort aber aufgegeben und erst um 1750 wurde die Gegend wieder besiedelt. Der Hafen von Agios Kirykos ist der bedeutendste der Insel. Tägliche Fährverbindungen von Piräus über die Kykladen nach Samos. Zusätzlich bestehen regelmäßige Verbindungen mit Fourni.
 Therma (Θέρμα ) liegt 2 km nordöstlich von Agios Kirykos am Meer. Therma war die eine Kolonie Milets auf Ikaria. Da keine Anzeichen von Landwirtschaft oder Viehzucht in antiker Zeit vorliegen, wird angenommen, dass bereits damals die Nutzung der heißen Quellen dem Ort wirtschaftlichen Reichtum einbrachte. Heute sind von den aus hellenistischer und römischer Zeit stammenden Bädern nur wenige Wannenfragmenten erhalten.
 Fanario (Φανάριο) auch Faros (Φάρος) ist der nordöstlichste Ort der Insel und liegt etwa 10 km von Agios Kirykos entfernt am Meer. Der Flughafen Ikaria Island National Airport "Icarus" befindet sich eineinhalb Kilometer nördlich. Weitere 2 km nordöstlich liegt der antike Ort Drakano (Δράκανο). Die Festung Drakano wurde während der Zeit Alexanders des Großen im 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. errichtet. Von den Befestigungsanlagen und der antiken Stadt, die für ihre Weinproduktion bekannt war, ist noch ein etwa 12 m hoher Turm aus Kalkstein erhalten. Er diente als Beobachtungsposten des Seeverkehrs zwischen Ikaria und Samos und ist einer der besterhaltenen athenischen Wachtürme der hellenistischen Epoche. Die Griechische Marine beschädigte 1827 den Turm bei Zielübungen.
 Xylosyrtis (Χυλοσύρτης ) ist ein am Meer gelegenes Dorf 5 km südlich von Agios Kirykos. Der Ort war in Griechenland bekannt für die Produktion von Aprikosen. Die heutige Erzeugung bedient nur noch den lokalen Markt und erreicht etwa ein Zehntel der Spitzenproduktion der 1940er Jahre. In der Nähe des Ortes befindet sich die Quelle Athanato Nero (Αθάνατο Νερό). Dem Wasser wird eine Therapiewirkung u. a. bei Magenleiden nachgesagt.

In der weiteren Umgebung von Agios Kirykos liegen weitere Siedlungen, besonders nördlich in unmittelbarer Nähe der Straße nach Evdilos.

Perdiki
Perdiki (Περδίκι ) liegt auf der Nordseite der Insel in etwa 370 m Höhe, 6 km nördlich von Agios Kirykos. Der Ortsname wurde erstmals in einem Vertrag von 1681 erwähnt. Im Volkskundlichen Museum sind Geräte und Werkzeuge (zum Teil aus dem 17. Jahrhundert) ausgestellt.
Im Dorf Miliopo (Μηλιωπό ) befinden sich Reste einer frühchristlichen Basilika aus dem 4. Jahrhundert n. Chr.

Chrysostomos
Chrysostomos (Χρυσόστομος ) liegt 6 km südwestlich von Agios Kirykos in etwa 300 m Höhe.

My knighthood is going to happen any day now, I can just feel it. But even it doesn't, it's really high time I became Sir Lisa Miriam Rosman. Seriously, in the same vein that "actor" has become a gender-inclusive term, I'd like to be referred to as "sir" moving forward. Both "ma'am" and "miss" are just terrible as formal terms of respect–either under or over the same hill (pun intended, obviously). And imagine the fun when some twentysomething male "ma'ams" me, and I, towering over him in heels and cleavage-bearing dress, bellow, That's sir to you, sonny!

Kit contains fabrics, batting, Ozsome Accents� Fusible Quick Grid, Ozsome Accents� Brown Novelty Trim, black buttons, 18� light string & jute.
