New Peter Hujar exhibit offers rare glimpse of queer 1970s NYC
By Graham Gremore February 6, 2018 at 1:02pm · 46 comments
Peter Hujar was an American photographer best known for his black and white portraits. He died of AIDS-related pneumonia in 1987, at the age of 53. Now, his work is being showcased at The Morgan Library & Museum in an exhibit titled Peter Hujar: Speed of Life.
Hujar first started taken photos in the early 1950s and continued doing so right up until his death. His work often depicted queer people and other outcasts living on the fringes of society.

Peter Hujar: Speed of Life will run through May 2o and showcases over 160 of Hujar's portraits and snapshots, including avant-garde nudes, drag queens, Bohemian queers, friends, and lovers.
Joel Smith, who curated the exhibition, said of Hujar, "He was an artist for whom the portrait defined what art could be. Everything he photographed he wanted to bring across with clarity, empathy and respect for the life behind the mask."

Here's how Hujar explained his own work: "I make direct, uncomplicated photographs of complicated and difficult subjects. I photograph those who push themselves to any extreme and people who cling to the freedom to be themselves."

There were no "queer 70s", that term was not used to describe gays at that time. Just gay was used as the descriptive term.
"Queer" describing gays is more 2000s and is a slanderous term and still used as such.
pierscik
Josh…I'm not sure how old you are but if you were in your teens or twenties in the 70's and living in an urban environment surely you will recall that Queer was very much the word being used to describe homosexuals at that time, as well as 'gay'….
ctotogo
It's not the 70's anymore. Describing them as the "queer 70's" in 2018 is fine.
dwes09
Sorry. You are wrong. Queer was used by those who hated us, and when used by us it was similarly a pejorative. There were no "queer" organizations, there was no "queer theory", there was no use of "queer people".
I grew up in New York City, was very much in places like GLF events both in NYC and at university in the late 60's, and moved to San Francisco in the mid 70's. NOBODY used the word queer except as a put down in the same way we would refer to someone as "Mary" or "queen".
It is still largely a pejorative to me and I will not allow heterosexuals to refer to me that way under any circumstances just as i would not let antisemites call me a kike.
I have as much mileage as you honey. I'm just not offended by the words of strangers. In 2018, use of the word queer is fine. It's fine even if you don't agree with me.
You realize of course we're having this discussion on QUEERty.com. *smh*

The definition of queer is strange. It's an insult to have that word used to
describe gays.
I absolutely understand i am having a discussion on "Queerty" and the irony of the name is not lost on me (my turn to shake my head at you mister). It is a blog for a very specific audience, and as such certainly you see the people who come here specifically to harass and disparage us, not infrequently masquerading as gay.
But the fact remains that those who think you (us) less human, more sinner, or simply sick are going to call you queer and fag, not gay. And they often think our use of it is an acknowledgement that we think ourselves odd or abnormal. There is no "reclaiming" a word intended to convey hate and disgust.
IanHunter
Originally meaning "strange" or "peculiar", queer came to be used pejoratively against those with same-sex desires or relationships in the late 19th century.
What Josh says above it absolutely correct . Nobody referred to themselves as queer in the 70's. It was an epithet to us as it was to the straight people most likely to use it. There were no queer 1970's except to those who opposed the increased visibility of gay and lesbian folks. Let's please leave the revisionist history and twisted use of words to the regressives who are so good at making shit up.
And there is currently no real consensus among lgbt people about the use of Queer: especially when it is so embraced by both those who oppose equality for lgbt folks, and by heterosexuals who simply want some outre way to label their self-conscious non-conformity.
Who's to say what the consensus is. We'd have to have intimate knowledge of how about what, 700,000,000 people feel about it? We don't. We have our opinions, maybe we're aware of how some of our friends feel about it. But that's about it.
"We're here, we're queer, get used to it!"
Not the '70s, true, but that's a chant from the mid-to-late 1980s that Peter Hujar no doubt heard.
I remember being a little startled when I first heard queer being "reclaimed" in the '80s, but I've had 30+ years to "get used to it" so it no longer sounds strange. It really doesn't fit the '70s though.
It's also seems entirely forgotten that the use of the word "straight" means that we're "bent".
So great to see Peter Hujar mentioned on here. He was one of the major gay photographic talents of the late 1950s through his death in 1987, and his images of the 1970s bring back how long-lost worlds. His late boyfriend, David Wojnarowicz, also was a very talented writer and artist too.
I especially love the photo of Isaac Hayes, who wasn't gay but was a major musical artist and cultural icon, above.
AlbertW
I agree. Looking at Peter's work I see a man who thinks and is not in the least shallow, jaded, or judgemental. I believe he saw life as a beautiful lesson.
We do protest too much! It's true queer was an insult in the 70s. That's why we took it back in the late 80s and early 90s. Our use of Queer was meant to be the inclusive term for anyone who was not heteronormative. You could be straight and queer just as you could be gay and not queer. For some of us who never found Mary or queen insults, but terms of endearment and who found "gay" to be cliquish and exclusive, queer was a welcome new term. Long live Queer Nation!
CastleSF
"gay" is a perfect term for homosexuals. Stop demonizing it and stop using moronic terms like heteronormative, which is so outlandish and derogatory.
Sour Sister #2, CastleSF, you probably should pay a bit more attention to words like "heteronormative" and "hormonormative," because you are deeply in their thrall. Heteronormativity is real, it's not "outlandish" (it's the principle, however shaky, on which contemporary American sexual and social relations are organized), and it's hardly derogatory, unless you're defending it and worried that someone is criticizing it. We get that you and Danny have very rigid ideas about what gay people are, how we should behave, etc., but thankfully, people fought and died so that we would not be under your or anyone else's respectability rules.
February 6, 2018 at 11:02pm
Gross. It's like pics of the Pompeii, before Vesuvius erupted and took them all down. This was the peak of commercialized hyper-promiscuity, the destroyer of gay life, health and happiness. The only good thing about looking at this crap is feeling gratitude that I wasn't around to experience any of it.
What I dislike so much about the 70's gays is their tight short shorts – often torn with holes. Those shorts are so disgusting and unbecoming.
DrewD
Trust me, we're grateful you weren't there either.
Danny, you missed the greatest party on earth, I'm glad you weren't around for it too.
Those of us who are normal gay guys feel quite fortunate about not being around in the 70s because people engaged in promiscuous and reckless behaviors back then were gone by the 90s, and for obvious reasons.
mujerado
No, CastleSF, not everyone who was promiscuous in the 70s is "gone", and speaking now about "normal gay guys" is different in degree only, not in kind, from straight people speaking of themselves as normal and gay guys as abnormal. We didn't all get AIDS or STDs, Castle, surprise surprise. It always makes me sad for the activists of the past to see gay guys of today misunderstanding our own past. Please, educate yourself. We weren't all the promiscuous, filthy perverts you might read about in history books.
Nowuvedoneit
You're not even gay, you're a troll coming on here to talk and cause a ruckus.
I knew Sour Sister Danny would chime in. She would have screeched and pooh-poohed all the activism that made it possible for her to parade around on her puritanical hobbyhorse. Girl, seriously, give it a rest!
Mujerado – Thanks for your comment. It's true that not every gay and bi guy was promiscuous back then. But it was rampant and highly destructive. Those who wanted nothing to do with promiscuity had the choice of being celibate, pursuing committed relationships with no external support and despite active discouragement from the wider society, or giving in and joining the "party."
Although data from that period are sketchy, we do have a few surveys and we have data from large-scale testing for a Hepatitis B vaccine in multiple cities. We also have other historical data on HIV prevalence. What these data show is that in cities, where the gay community existed, hyper-promiscuity was rampant, as were many STIs. By the early 1980s, promiscuity had spread HIV widely and seroprevalence was so great (approaching 50%) that every urban gay male was at severe risk, even if he was not promiscuous. This is why it is a lie to say that promiscuity is really only an individual choice and is nobody else's business. That choice put everyone at risk. We went from a seroprevalance of less than 1% in the mid-1970s to saturation levels in 1985, an "achievement" which would not have been possible without promiscuity. In rural and suburban areas, where there was no promiscuity-promoting gay "community," seroprevalance was much lower, something which is even true today.
The health outcomes of the men who lived the hyper-promiscuous life were grim. You should read medical journal articles from back then, even pre-AIDS. These are scientific articles with a minimum of editorializing and moral judgment, but the shock and alarm of the authors comes right off the page. No one should ever romanticize this depraved period in history. Promiscuity is not "liberatory" or progressive or revolutionary. It's selfish, destructive and cruel We should be happy that the worst of it peaked in the late 1970s and that things have been improving ever since. Since the beginning of this century, and particularly since 2004, monogamy has been on an unrelenting surge. Let this trend continue, let us all witness promiscuity's doom, and let's look to the past as a lesson in how not to live.
February 7, 2018 at 7:02am
Danny595, you seem to be happy that as you said promiscuity died down after the 70's and let's see what cane about during that time? HIV and AIDS. You're the worst kind of gay blaming people for being promiscuous and then lauding the effects of HIV, because as you said it died down.
HIV is not a punishment for sleeping by around , nor is it something to be ashamed of. It is a disease much like your thought processes. The nerve of some people.
February 7, 2018 at 10:02am
How sad that someone (who wasn't even around during that "crap") can read a few stats and then decide what the morality of the gay community should be. If you want to remain monogamous or asexual then be so. I'm really not sure what purpose your comments serve.
JoeyRamone
What a bunch of pussies here. You're not men, you're little girls. OMG the tight shorts. Gross. Sex with Strangers. Ewwww. Btw, that tight shirt ain't doing it for you either.
The fact that you even mentioned the tight shirt tells us all we need to know about you, Joey.
Nowuvedoneit – HIV – or the spread of it – is a consequence of promiscuity, not a "punishment" from some divine being. Jumping off a cliff means you are going to break some bones; it doesn't mean that Yahweh is punishing you. It's true that the decline of promiscuity is a good thing, but it was not driven entirely or even mostly by HIV. That helped expedite things, but the real declines which took place around the turn of the century were driven by a variety of factors, including greater external support, the diminuition of social consequences for being out and in an open relationship, the rise of life expectations, greater parental involvement in the lives of G/B youth, and, of course, the prospect of marriage and family. Unfortunately, these social changes take much longer to work themselves out than political changes. And we have commercial entities, such as this website, bars, baths, and the various hookup apps, which have a vested interest in slowing down the trend towards monogamy and away from promiscuity. But they can't stop the moving train!
DrewD – The purpose my comments serve is to disrupt the cheery, happy lie that long-term promiscuity is a big party, that it's good for gay and bi men and boys, and/or that it is a life choice which is just as good and deserving of respect as any other. That's a lie. So I'll call it out when I see it. I'm not advocating criminalizing promiscuity, but I don't have to sit silently while it is falsely presented as something good.
Are you stating that because Tobi said it was the greatest party on earth? Where are you getting this cheery, happy lie? A big party that's good for gay and bi men and boys?
One's sexual activity (or lack of it) is a personal choice. A choice that is between consenting adults. Comment away but you are not going to change people.
By the way, I have been in a monogamous relationship for 33 years. I was promiscuous before then, which was my own choice, not because it was "falsely presented as something good".
I never judge how others live their lives but you certainly seem up to the task. You would have fit in perfectly with Anita Bryant and Jerry Falwell.
Perhaps a more realistic reason for the habits of that era involved the fact that a gay teen had no guidelines for 'dating' outside of 'don't get caught' which generally meant do whatever you can get away with in any dark secluded place you can find. Bars, parks, sleazy motels… anywhere that provided anonymity and made it wasy to get away quickly. When you create an atmosphere of hate and fear, that is what you get.
Sick to death of assimilationist A-gays? Queers read this!
http://gaycitynews.nyc/still-queer-message-floods-pride-parade/
lol! That's not a link to the document. You can't link to it because those "queers" are such out-of-touch old dinosaurs that they only distributed the document in paper form and never uploaded it to the internet! What a bunch of sad old losers. loool!
The photos don't seem at all "promiscuous," never mind "gross".
The "devil" sitting in a toilet stall… well, that's obviously a Halloween-style joke. I doubt that ANYONE, no matter how promiscuous they are or were, would find that photo to be sexually stimulating.
A bunch of guys standing on a pier… hmm, that's not "promiscuous" either. Only one of them even has his shirt off? Arty, maybe, but… ho-hum.
An arty photo of a guy's legs, while he lounges on a pier. Ho-hum.
An arty photo of a nude guy rolled up into a neat yoga pose. Mildly sexy I guess.
An arty photo of a heterosexual soul singer. Not exactly driving anyone to promiscuity.
Drag queens… oh I realize Danny595 just HATES drag queens… but drag queens were (and are) comical. They are not a sexual turn-on for any gay guy; they're just amusing.
Danny's monomania is off-topic here.
The1970s
Some of the most strident criticism of the sexual conduct of urban Gay men in the 70s lacks extremely important context. The critics were not there. They did not grow up in the previous decade, the 1960s, which was as Gay positive as previous decades. In other words utterly hostile.
I remember two fellows who lived near me when I was younger. They were both Gay. They never went into the Gay bars nearest them lest someone see them (of course who would see them? Other Gay men). Instead when they went out to socialize in a public Gay environment in a town a few hours away. That was one form of the Closet.
The 1970s was the first time in the nations history when a Gay man could enjoy his sexuality. For the first time shame was not the ultimate driving emotion where sexuality was concerned. It was still present for many if not most. But its power to drive men deep into the closet diminished with each passing year.
Sex was one way of shouting NO MORE oppression. No more treating us as subhuman. Sex claimed our fundamental identities not just as Gay people, but as human beings. Because it was the fundamental nature of our sexuality which has been denied for millennia.
So one of the collective responses was the opportunity and pleasure to enjoy our sexuality. Add the fact that the male mammal seems strongly inclined to frequent and even anonymous sex. Further add that there were (and still are) not healthy social supports that help make sexual monogamy work, or support health sexual enjoyment not in a relationship. Straight people developed (unhealthy) structures for managing the sexual drive. Structures that often fail, especially among the most strident of its supporters. Nothing of the sort existed for Gay men.
Need to blame someone for the outbreak of AIDS and the prevalence of Hepatitis and STDs? How about blaming the members of straight society that condemned homosexuals to suffer self-denial, shame, violence and even medical torture in the name of "curing" people of their homosexuality. The school leaders, religious teachers, so-called mental health professionals and politicians that supported unhealthy definitions and management of sexuality. They are still around (and remain the most guilty of violating the very rules they claim to impose).
Moralizing over a pair of very short, and sexual jeans is shallow.
As for the words straight and bent: Ever see the play Bent? I saw it the night before a Christopher Street Day Parade. The most powerful play I have yet to see to date. By the end the packed Broadway theater emptied without a sound from an audience member (after the groans of terror and tears and standing ovation for one of the best performances of many lives). Yes it was called Bent. It makes the point far more eloquently than I can about the terror by straight society of Gay people until we said NO MORE.
@the1970s. You seem to look at the era of your prime years with too much fondness and too little objectivity. It was an era of depraved debauchery, cruising in the parks and dark alleys, sleazy bars with back rooms of seething sexuality, sex clubs and bathhouses where unsafe, unspeakable, and anonymous sexual practices went rampant. The victimhood that you have been carrying all these years is all too real. Thank God those sleazy leather bars and bathhouses have mostly been closed and replaced by wine bars or restaurants most suitable for the millennials and the younger generation.
@CastleSF, you're starting to sound like a parody of a sex-phobic, repressed homophobe. Consenting adults having gay sex as they please really terrifies you, doesn't it?
Capitalizing "G" in every "gay" word used in your comment is just super creepy as if gays are somehow above other people and deserve special treatment. Another victim mentality from the 70's that doesn't serve the best interests of younger gays.
alanballs
my, my….reading through (the snide, sarcastic) Queerty comments, and I'm overcome with gratitude that not only was I not around in the 70's, I also don't live in the USA. Is the "gay community" in the USA really as divided as the Queerty comment sections would make one believe? Or are you all just a special bunch of gay people?
One More Thing: @CastleSF: please dismount your self-righteous soap box. Another thing for which I'm grateful, is that you and I live on different continents.
SiamSam
Yep, lots of temper tantrums from the promiscuity pimps. The truth hurts.
BigDavidO
As a Co-founder of the first gay community health clinic (in the early 70s) and subsequently a principal investigator for both the multi-site HepB epidemiology and vaccine development studies and the Multisite AIDS Cohort Study (the MACS) that continues to this day, I am saddened that largely ignorant persons can distort the results of those studies (and the LGBTQ communities' heroic struggles to survive those epidemics while preserving our diverse lifestyles) into condemnations of non-monogamous persons. These comments go far beyond the usual sanctimonious and snarky Queerty comments, and reveal a level of self-hate that is, IMHO, a most pernicious internalized remnant of homophobia. And having "come out" in the early 70s, I can appreciate the brutal honesty of Peter Hugar's photography and the renewed interest in his work that the Morgan Museum exhibition has created.

Weekend was superexhausting because there was no possibility to sleep long enough; everyday was something in the morning to do, how I hate that. (=__=) Sunday we went to Hakone the second time! Luckily it was a super hot summer day (around 25°C and sunshine)! Because on Saturday it rained all day cats and dogs in whole Japan. But Sunday was superhot I still cannot believe that it's end of November? It's already snowing in Germany and I sit here licking my ice cream. World is not fair I guess. Reason we went to Hakone was that we were invited forced to go to a mikangari which means to harvest Japanese mikans (tangerines). We really didn't want to go for obvious reasons but it something our home university is involved in every year so, yeah... no chance for the little exchange students. The day itself turned out quite funny though.
Laaandscape. We drove by car, luckily. First they wanted us to walk, lol.
Me trying to harvest them. There were spiders everywhere.

South-west monsoon starts withdrawing; dry weather over north-west India, rainfall in south: IMD
Representational Image
New Delhi, September 28 (ANI): Withdrawal of South-west monsoon from parts of west Rajasthan and Punjab will likely result in dry weather over most parts of north-west India during the next five days, while there would be scattered to fairly widespread rainfall over the southern peninsula, said India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday.
According to the IMD, conditions are becoming favourable for further withdrawal of the South-west monsoon from some more parts of Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh over the next two-three days. But there would likely be "moderate thunderstorm with lightning" at isolated places over north peninsular India, Central and North-east India during the next 12 hours, the IMD tweeted on Monday.
It added: "A trough runs from a cyclonic circulation over east Bihar to west-central Bay of Bengal off Andhra Pradesh coast across Gangetic West Bengal and coastal Odisha at lower tropospheric levels. Under the influence of this system: Scattered to fairly widespread rainfall with moderate thunderstorm & lightning very likely over south peninsular India during (the) next 3 days. Isolated heavy falls are very likely over Tamilnadu during (the) next 2 days; over Rayalaseema, South Interior Karnataka and Kerala on 29th Sept." (ANI)

Q: Richfaces 4 tabPanel actionListener not working on first call I'm having trouble creating a working tabPanel in Richfaces 4 with JSF2.
Every time I select a Tab I can see the ajax request been sent, but it is NOT calling the actionListener method in my backing bean (I know this from running in Debug mode).
When I select the tab again, it will work (Again I am in debug mode and can see it going into the myBean.activateTab method).
TabPanelTest.xhtml
<h:form id="myFormTest">

If you are interested in topology, see Bonn Topology Group.
If you want to apply for PhD studies in topology, please go the Bonn International Graduate Schools of Mathematics (BIGS) and find the application procedure and dead lines there.
Topology stands out amongst other branches of mathematics for the way it bridges the gap between the realm of continuous phenomena (geometry and analysis) and the discrete world (algebra and combinatorics). Topology uses discrete techniques to study continuous objects; it has assimilated methods from many areas of mathematics, and methods developed by topologists have in turn contributed significantly to advances in other areas.
Topology is concerned with the study of geometric objects (such as manifolds) and of the continuous maps between them. Typically one asks whether there are any geometric objects having certain specified properties; and if so, how many different objects share these properties. The technical term is that one seeks a classification of such objects, or of the maps between them. One example would be classifying the covering spaces of a given manifold.
Many of the properties one is interested in are retained when the object under investigation is subjected to a deformation. One example is the degree of a mapping: the degree (an integer) is unchanged when the mapping is continuously deformed. One says that the degree is invariant up to homotopy. The power of Homotopy Theory lies in this invariance up to homotopy: often it allows one to replace complicated objects by simple models of them. The strategy of Homotopy Theory is to establish this invariance for as many properties as possible, and then exploit the invariance to obtain a classification.
Classifying objects usually involves calculating homotopy groups. As the direct approach is typically prohibitively difficult, one uses cohomology to calculate these homotopy groups by indirect means. That is, one makes use of both ordinary (i.e. singular) cohomology and generalized cohomology theories, together with the associated ring structure and cohomology operations.
Recent years have seen several new and promising developments leading to even greater interconnections between Homotopy Theory on the one hand and Algebra, Algebraic Geometry and Theoretical Physics on the other. The areas of Homotopy Theory in question are Stable Homotopy Theory and Elliptic Cohomology.
These new theories and methods will provide the thesis topics in the proposed Research Training Group. To be more specific, we will concentrate on the following themes: Classifying spaces and cohomology of groups, Configuration spaces and mapping spaces, Moduli spaces, Stable homotopy theory, Elliptic cohomology and topological modular forms, Operads and E-infinity structures, Manifolds and bordism theory, Cohomology and homotopy theory of foliations.

Novak Djokovic Interview- Miami, Apr 1
Novak Djokovic Interview
Sony Ericsson Open - Miami
Q. Would it be fair to say you were a little happy to see the rain?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Yes, it would be. After I came back from the rain delay, from the locker room and the break that we had, I felt different on the court.
First couple of games was quite strange. The wind of blowing. It was quite humid. Just different conditions, I guess.
I came to the match not really moving well, and was just lucky enough not to go a break down.
Q. You were skidding a lot. It was almost like you were playing clay court tennis for a while. Were you having trouble with the footing?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: It's been like that for a while. I been sliding on every surface that I know, because that's just the way that I move.
I knew that he's going to be aggressive and come to the net often, so I needed to defend well. I did. I wish I just played a little bit better from the baseline.
But what I think made the difference today is my first serve. I got a lot free points there.
Q. When you get off to a patchy start like today, aside from the rain, is the fact that you've been winning for the last three months, is that something you draw on? You talked about confidence. Is that where that really comes into play?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Yeah, I guess it's a very mental game in the end. If you have a little mental advantage over your opponent knowing that you won against him every time you played and are very confident and winning a lot matches lately, I guess it's something that kind of guides me to the victory.
Q. What do you on breakpoints this tournament that just seems you're impossible to break? Today was key in the first set at 15 40 when Mardy was serving 3 5 and he hit a serve like right at you.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Ah, it was I can't say I've played that point well. It was just lucky that I read his intention with the drive forehand volley. I stayed on the same side and I hit as hard as I can through the middle and he put his volley out.
Yeah, as I said, you got to have some luck as well in some moments. When I held that serve, it was a different story in the second set. I kind of felt better and more comfortable on the court.
But any time I was breakpoints down and in trouble I served out really well. That's something that makes me happy.
Q. It looks as though when you're in those pressure situations you're able to find another gear and sort of just get an extra level. What is that? Is it focus and concentration kicks in a little bit more?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Yes, yes, focus and just trying to get it right. You know, you obviously feel pressure and tension in these moments when you're breakpoint down, especially at this level where you know if you lose your serve it's going to be very hard to get it back.
But, you know, I tried to, you know, kind of play simple that stage. Tried to hit some good serves and hit one, two, shots, and it works okay.
Q. You said something in Portuguese. You tried to talk about Brazil. Are you planning to go there and maybe learn some soccer with Guga?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Well, I got a lot of messages ib Twitter from Brazilian fans. Yeah, but don't expect me to talk in Portuguese. I can't. I cheated, okay, so I kind of looked at a translation.
Q. You looked at a translation?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Yeah. So I have written couple of words, just words of appreciation for their support. That's all.
But I got in touch with Guga about eventually coming to Brazil and playing an exhibition there. Hopefully we can make that happen in the near future.
Q. Brad Gilbert forgot ask you the big question. You're going to watch from your hotel, but who do you think will win and who do you want to win?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: It's a question that I can't give you answer on, because I really don't prefer anybody of those two. (Laughing.)
They just have a fantastic rivalry, and it would be really interesting to see their match tonight, you know, to see who's going to win and prevail.
We obviously expect a great fight. They're both big champions, great players. You know, they have been so dominant in the last couple of years.
Whoever I play, I obviously wouldn't feel like a favorite on the court.
Q. You have an edge on Rafa on hardcourt, I think; not with Roger. If you're going to get Rafa, I guess you prefer a hardcourt; is that right?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: I really don't know what to answer, you know. Both of them are playing great tennis over the years regardless what surface. They're such great competitors and tennis players that it doesn't matter really. Slow, fast, you know, they're always playing on a very high level.
So in order for me to win and by the way, it is a final, so in order for me to win I will be have to be on the top of my game against either of those two players.
Q. Do you think it was good to get a day match in before a final that's going to be at lunchtime just to get a sense...
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Yes. Yeah, I didn't play a single match this year before today's semifinal during the day. It was all during the night, so it took me time to get used to conditions. It was good. I got a sense of what it might be like.
Q. You've been playing with a strap on your knee for a while. Any concern there? Seemed like one game you might have tweaked it a little bit.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: No, it was just a quick move. Luckily it's nothing serious. You know, I carried this minor discomfortable I could say in my knee since Australia this year. So since then I been wearing the strap on my knee. Just preventional. Nothing that keeps me away from sliding.
Q. Have you been following the record, your match records that you've been creeping up on guys. Are you looking at this at all? How important is it for you?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Well, of course to be a part of history it's always a big pleasure and honor. I've been telling to my team, Don't come up with any records or anything. I just want to take one match at a time. So far it's been like that.
Q. You've been pressing the top of the rankings for years. A few years ago I remember you going like this a lot. (Holding up index finger.) It was when Federer was kind of in a slump. Do you feel that...
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: I don't understand. What do you mean?
Q. You were like saying No. 1 or whatever this gesture meant after you would win a match.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: No. No, it's not true.
Q. It's not true?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: No.
Q. Anyway, do you feel like this is your time or do you have any sense of invincibility now?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: No, I don't feel invincible. I don't feel that I can't lose on the court.
What I feel is big confidence. What I feel is that I'm playing best tennis of my life. This is as simple as that.
As I said before, it's mental game, so physically I've been working very hard and dedicating a lot of time to some elements in my game, like serve, and it's paying off now.
I feel that I'm serving as best as I think ever. It's really important to have this advantage obviously, because today there is so many great returners and movers, so to get a couple of free points on your serve a crucial.
I'm just trying to take one match at a time and mentally be motivated to have even more success. That's about all. You know, I don't really think about how long this winning streak is gonna go for, who I'm going to lose to.
I'm just thinking about my next opponent and what I need to do to win.


Indian sandalwood (Santalum album) is a medium-sized evergreen semi root parasitic tree. It is a commercially important species for its heartwood essential oil, extensively used in medicines, cosmetics, perfume and incense industry. Sandalwood harvesting usually involves removal of the entire tree resulting in critical loss of the genetic diversity.Commercial plantation of the species is not widely done due to nonavailability of good quality planting material in sufficient quantity. Production of sandalwood plantlets through vegetative propagation in regular nurseries is also difficult and time-consuming. Hence, there is a need to develop such planting material/plantlets through tissue culture technique,which provide high yielding clones of candidate plus trees of sandalwood. In the present study, an efficient plant regeneration protocol for in vitro propagation of Santalum album has been developed. Plant propagation using nodal explants was achieved on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium. MS solution contains a mixture of macroelement like NH4, KNO3, Mg, Ca, KH2 and microelements like Zn, H3BO4, MnSo4, Cu and Co, sucrose as a source of carbohydrate and vitamins. Effect of plant growth regulators (PGR) like 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) and Kinetin (Kn) on shoot induction and multiplication and Indole-3 Butyric acid (IBA) and Naphthalene Acetic acid (NAA) on rooting was studied. Highest shoot multiplication with longest shootlets (2.90 cm) was achieved on MS medium containing 0.5 mg L-1 BAP and 5.0 ml L-1 IBA after 30 days of culture. New shoots were repeatedly harvested up to three subculture passages on the fresh medium of same concentration at 4-week intervals. Microshoots treated with 50.0 ml L-1 IBA for 48 h produced roots on growth regulator free, half-strength MS medium followed by one-week incubation in the dark. Hence, this protocol is a simple, rapid and highly reproducible to obtain more number of quality plants of Santalum album within a short period.

Australia Picked Its Eurovision 2017 Entrant And He's A Winner
First Brexit, now THIS. Also I still don't know what Brexit is.

Hey Europe, it's your very close neighbour Australia here.

Remember last year when we showed up to Sweden for Eurovision and y'all got a bit of Stockholm syndrome for our mad bops???
Michael Campanella / Getty Images
Here's Australia's Dami Im holding up a big box of all the fucks she gives about anyone complaining that "Australia isn't even in Europe"!
Well, hold on to your wigs because we're not done snatching. Australia recently announced its 2017 Eurovision entrant as 17-year-old Isaiah Firebrace.
This is his debut single from last year. BANGER.
He'll be belting a ballad called "Don't Come Easy", which is ironic because belting seems to come super easy for the youngster.
Try to tell me this isn't a legitimate BANGER! YOU CANNOT. It's like Sam Smith back when he was likable!!
Firebrace rose to fame during his time on X Factor Australia where he won the singing comp ON HIS BIRTHDAY!!!

ESSEN, Germany (Reuters) - E.ON (EONGn.DE) expects as many as 5,000 job cuts and 600 million to 800 million euros ($740-987 million) of synergies as part of a major asset swap with peer RWE (RWEG.DE) involving its Innogy (IGY.DE) unit.
"Structural change is always associated with uncertainty for affected employees. E.ON and RWE are convinced that, by combining forces, each of the business areas that are touched by this transaction will have better prospects than before," E.ON and RWE said in a joint statement on Monday.

The African Bush Elephant (Loxodonta africana) or African Savanna Elephant is the largest land mammal on earth. African elephants, unlike their Asian relatives, are not easily domesticated. Slightly larger than the Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus), African Males can reach 13 feet (4 meters) in height, and weigh some 14,000 pounds (6,350 kilograms). The African variety can be found throughout sub-Saharan Africa and the rain forests of Central and West Africa. They can be identified by their larger ears that some say are in the shape of the African continent (the Asian Elephant has smaller, rounder ears). Elephant ears radiate heat to help them stay cool, but sometimes the African heat is too much even for them, and they must find a watering hole. Elephants are fond of water, and enjoy showering by sucking water into their trunks and spraying it all over themselves. Afterwards, they often spray their skin with a protective coating of dust (elephant sunblock/insect repellant); the Tsavo Reds are so known for the red clay they spray upon their skin.

Mudslide-hit highway reopened
Austin Camoens
BENTONG: It's all systems go for traffic at the affected stretch of the Karak Highway which was closed for four days following a mudslide.
The stretch at KM52.4 of the lane heading to Kuala Lumpur was reopened at around 1pm yesterday.
"On Saturday, one lane in each direction was opened to traffic while work continued on the remaining debris," said Bentong OCPD Supt Mansor Mohd Nor.
He added that the clean-up was completed at 1pm yesterday.
"The affected stretch is now fully operational," said Supt Mansor.
The mudslide at the Lentang-Bukit Tinggi area on Wednesday buried at least four vehicles.
It also caused traffic from Kuantan to be diverted out at the Bentong exit while that from Kuala Lumpur was directed into the Genting Sempah exit.
During a visit to the site, Pertubuhan Pelindung Khazanah Alam Malaysia president Datuk Shariffa Sabrina Syed Akil claimed that the rivers in the area were all muddy.
She said although there was no logging activity now, this did not mean that it had not caused the mudslide.
"There could have been logging in the area several months ago and only now are the consequences showing.
"Even the rivers in the area are all muddy. This is a clear sign of illegal forest clearing," she told reporters.
She stressed that more awareness needed to be raised on the effects of illegal logging and forest clearing.
"Who is going to step up in order to save our natural wonders? We need to start now before it is too late," she said.
Shariffa Sabrina said the love for nature needed to be inculcated in children from a young age.
"We are aware that logging and land clearing is occurring in Janda Baik, Genting Highlands and here in Lentang.
"Do we want another situation like the severe landslides that occurred in Cameron Highlands?" she said.
Shariffa Sabrina also urged the authorities to take action immediately before disaster strikes again.

AUGUSTA, Maine - As part of Maine's commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the beginning of America's Civil War, the Office of the Secretary of State has created the Sesquicentennial for Schools Program, presented by State Archivist, David Cheever.
"It was on April 15, 1861 that President Abraham Lincoln asked states such as Maine to raise 75,000 volunteer soldiers to defend the Union against southern states that were seceding, primarily over the issue of slavery," said David Cheever. "Maine answered Lincoln's call with vigor and this event is representative of Maine's key role in the Civil War."
The intent of the Sesquicentennial for Schools Program is to help Maine students get a better understanding of the important part their state played in one of our Nation's most prominent historic events. Mr. Cheever will be visiting schools statewide to talk with students about the impact that Maine had on the Civil War and the impact that the Civil War had on Maine.
?I am very excited about this program.? said Secretary of State, Charlie Summers, ?David Cheever is a charismatic speaker and his presentation will bring this topic to a local level for students by offering accounts of people in their town or neighboring towns, who contributed to or participated in the war efforts.?
The Maine State Archives holds the most extensive collection of Civil War documents in the nation, including photographs of thousands of Maine soldiers, muster rolls, battlefield reports, official papers, and correspondence.
The Sesquicentennial for Schools Program is free and recommended for grades 5-12. Visits are currently being scheduling on a first come, first serve basis. If you are interested in scheduling a visit for your school or would like more information, please contact Melissa Couture at sos.office@maine.gov or (207) 626-8400.

EdF: Four years after the Russian fiasco, Rabiot is furious
Ejected from the French team before the title in 2018, Adrien Rabiot returns in 2022 with the ambition to seize his chance fully. No matter the sacrifices to be made.
Didier Deschamps had easy forgiveness. Very unconvincing in his last outings with the France team before the 2018 World Cup, Adrien Rabiot had made an impression with his statements, in particular the fact that he had admitted that he had not forced during a match in Bulgaria because of the cold and fear of injury. Result, the midfielder had been snubbed by Didier Deschamps for the World Cup in Russia. The response of the former PSG player had been quite terrible since he had refused to be part of the list of reservists, believing that he was taken or not taken, and did not have to overcome a possible forfeit in the team of France. For a few months, the coach therefore did without him before bringing him back without really justifying himself. Due to the many midfield absences, not only is Adrien Rabiot in the squad, but he has a great chance of starting in Qatar.
The big disappointment of 2018 for Rabiot
At a press conference, the midfielder spoke about his status, explaining that he was ready to make any sacrifices for the Blues, and that his absence in Russia did not prevent him from considering himself as one of the captains. " I have a different personality on the pitch than off, I'm there to help my teammates, it's natural for me, I want to win. I had to play in several positions in the France team. I have often been criticized for not wanting to do it in the past… I feel good, the important thing is to be able to respond present. I prefer to play where I am the best, where I can give all my abilities to help the group. It already excites me to be there, a starter most likely, it's a lot of responsibility in a competition like this, but I'm ready to take it on "Warned Adrien Rabiot, who claims to have had trouble digesting" the big disappointment "of his absence from the 2018 World Cup. I worked a lot to be there, at the 2022 World Cup. I don't take it as revenge, no, but I am grateful for everything that has happened since my return to Blue. I take it as luck "Explained the former PSG player, who will try to bring control and power to the tricolor game in the coming days.

How COVID has changed consumers
Consumers have been indelibly changed by the COVID-19 pandemic, but have coped with it in a variety of ways.
There's no doubt that consumer behaviors have changed in ways that could not have been imagined before the pandemic. As marketers, we need to understand the emotional and functional needs of our audience so we can develop an appropriate strategy in response.
The impact of the pandemic continues to evolve, and consumers are responding with an ever-shifting blend of caution and hope. We're already seeing how many people are making fundamental changes to their lifestyles as a result of the pandemic, presenting an opportunity for us to create new ways for our brands to show up and earn the consumer's attention.
The trend-watching company WGSN recently released a study that looked at the impact of COVID-19 on consumers, predicting what we will see in 2023 and beyond. Their report also highlighted four key trends.
A warped sense of time: The pandemic has given most people a warped sense of time. The events that normally define and create boundaries around our weeks, months and years disappeared in 2020, and most people experienced a social jet lag, a disconnect between our internal biological time and the social time of the outside world.
This time warp helped explain some of the yearnings that many displayed, a need for reminders of simpler times. Consumers watched reruns of old TV shows, there was a resurgence in the retro "Mario Kart" game, and a nostalgic desire for things like the comfort foods of our childhood.
Numbness: Many people developed a coping mechanism that was driven by fear and apprehension about what might come next during the global public health emergency. The sense of the pending doom of the unknown was prevalent during much of 2020 and has left its mark.
This numbness is also driving a sense of compassion fatigue – people have come to realize that they can't solve everything for everyone and are having to choose where to direct their energies.
We're seeing this in the increase of ad blocking, disconnecting from social media, or "unfollowing" people on Facebook and other social channels, as individuals look for more curated content and to focus on what really matters to them.
Hope: Humans are, at the end of the day, inherently hopeful. We have an infallible belief that things will work out. And despite the numbness we all experienced, there is hope. We see glimmers of it as people emerge from isolation and work hard to get back to the elements of life that meant the most to them pre-pandemic.
This returning optimism is important to people of all generations but is especially critical to the members of Generation Z, because of how deeply their lives were affected and how they literally watched their futures change in an instant when the pandemic struck.
Cautious motivation: This is a trend we need to be particularly mindful of, because if we get it wrong, our messages could fall very badly.
People are taking tentative steps forward into what they're hoping will quickly become a more normal world, but everyone is going at a different pace. Messaging in this moment can't be that everything's wonderful because some aren't there yet. But we can begin to project a return to the people and experiences we love.
As you begin to think about these trends, remember that it's expected that they'll be drivers well into 2023 and beyond. The last 18 months have taken their toll on everyone. The impact is just beginning to show up in how consumers are moving back into the marketplace. If we can demonstrate our understanding now, we'll earn their trust for years to come.

Three More Competition Venues Announced for The World Games 2022
Birmingham adds several new sites ahead of July 2022 event
Posted On : March 22, 2021 By : Matt Traub
The Birmingham Organizing Committee has announced the next three competition venues for the 2022 World Games; Sloss Furnaces, Birmingham-Southern College and Avondale Park, ahead of the event that will take place in Alabama from July 7–17 with an anticipated 3,600 athletes.
"We're excited to announce this next round of venues for The Games," World Games 2022 Chief Executive Officer Nick Sellers said. "As we move closer and closer to the beginning of The Games, the announcement of venues where these world-class athletes will compete and where fans from all over will congregate to watch, drives the anticipation. All of our venues offer athletes and fans a unique sporting experience they can't get anywhere else."
At the historic Sloss Furnaces, spectators will watch athletes compete in Sport Climbing, Breaking, Parkour and Beach Handball. Originally operated as a pig iron-producing blast furnace from 1882 to 1971, Sloss Furnaces became one of the first industrial sites in the U.S. to be preserved and restored for public use. In 1981, the furnaces were designated a National Historic Landmark.
Several competitions will take place across the campus of Birmingham-Southern College. Goldfarb Field at Berylson Soccer Park will play host to Fistball. Bill Battle Coliseum will host a variety competitions including Orienteering, Karate, Wushu and Ju-Jitsu. Birmingham-Southern residence halls will also be the accommodation for several athletes.
At Avondale Park, the natural beauty of Birmingham will be on full display for Target Archery and Field Archery. Avondale Park is a 40-acre wooded park on the slopes of Red Mountain that sits directly across from one of the most popular neighborhoods in Birmingham. The park re-opened after $2.88 million in city-funded renovations in November 2013.
"Avondale Park is one of the best recreational areas our community has to offer, making it a perfect venue for the World Games 2022," said Shonae Eddis-Bennett, director of the Birmingham Parks and Recreation Director. "We are excited to have the opportunity to show off Avondale Park to fans and athletes from all over the world."

Q: LIBGDX Tiled Map not using transparency I'm trying to draw trees on top of snow in a tiled map. However, when I draw my player sprite underneath the trees, the trees are not transparent and the sprite goes underneath white bits. I have added a transparency channel for the trees in gimp. I am using:
tiledMapRenderer.setView(cam);
        tiledMapRenderer.render();

I have tried using
Gdx.gl.glBlendFunc(GL20.GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL20.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);

and batch.enableBlending(); to no prevail.

A: Check the follwing:

*

*Does your image file correctly define the transparency? (easy: check with any
image viewer)

*Do you load your image into a Texture object that supports alpha?
(easy: use default Texture constructor with FileHandle)

*Make sure all SpriteBatches you are using allow blending. (It's
enabled by default and you did check that too)

*Are you drawing the image into a FrameBuffer? Make sure your
FrameBuffer has an alpha channel. Also check how you are clearing the FrameBuffer before use - if you are using intermediate FrameBuffers, eventually you should clear them to be transparent (blank).

A: Don't worry, apparently gimp didn't keep the transparency after I exported it to png, so I used ms paint and it is now transparent.

Newly drilled sediment cores could reveal how fast the Antarctic ice sheet will melt | Science
livescience — April 16, 2019 0 comment
Scientist aboard the JOIDES Resolution analyze a newly drilled sediment core that records the history of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Vivien Cumming (IODP/ECORD)
VIENNA—Braving a raft of icebergs, a clinical drill ship has actually recuperated the initially deep sediment cores from the Amundsen Sea, where the huge Antarctic ice sheet is quickly melting. The 800-meter-long records, explained for the very first time recently at the yearly conference of the European Geosciences Union here, consist of numerous million years of history of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. "It's a very strategic place to drill," states Florence Colleoni, a paleoclimate and ice sheet modeler at the National Institute of Oceanography and Speculative Geophysics in Sgonico, Italy.
Geoscientists suspect the ice sheet has previously collapsed, raising water level around the world by numerous meters. By browsing the cores for hints to the timing and degree of these significant, ancient occasions—and the ocean conditions that resulted in them—researchers can much better examine how much the ocean may increase now and how rapidly, Colleoni states. "This is really important for our future."
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is especially susceptible to melting from warming ocean waters since its base lies listed below water level. Computer system designs differ in their forecasts of how rapidly it will vanish, however some anticipate it will be accountable for driving up global sea levels by a meter or more over the next century. To enhance those designs, researchers wish to find out about the habits of the ice sheet throughout the mid-Pliocene, 3 million to 4 million years back, when temperature levels resembled today's, states Rob DeConto, a glaciologist at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst who research studies the ice sheet. The brand-new cores, he states "will have a lot to bring to the table."
The JOIDES Resolution, a research study ship run by the International Ocean Discovery Program, invested January to March in the Amundsen Sea, off the coast of West Antarctica. The hope was to drill sediment cores in 5 locations, varying from the continental increase towards the shallower waters of the continental rack. Regrettably, the ship could not reach the drill websites better to Antarctica since it is not geared up to take a trip through ice and sea ice (which grows and retreats each year) extended further out than typical. Even in the open water, preventing the numerous icebergs indicated less time to drill in other locations. "We simply had bad luck this year," states Karsten Gohl, a geophysicist at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, Germany, and a leader of the cruise. "Despite the icebergs, we still got fantastic cores."
The cores were recovered from the 2 websites in much deeper water. At each website, the JOIDES Resolution needed to drill several holes—whenever an iceberg wandered too close for convenience, the team aborted the drilling—however they ultimately gathered numerous meters of sediment. One set of cores, from 7 holes, was drilled through a drift, a dune on the sea flooring. Currents sweeping around the continent continually transferred sediment there and with those records geologists can identify whether Earth remained in an ice age. Throughout glacial durations, the currents tend to be energetic, resulting in thin layers of great sediments. However when Earth is warmer and the ice sheet vanishes, the ocean blood circulations around Antarctica unwind and sediment is transferred without apparent great layers.
Most Importantly, the sediment cores protect a total history: The Amundsen Sea at that website is 4000 meters deep, so the seafloor dune was safe from storms that can wear down sediment in shallower water. "The fact that you have a continuous record from this margin is really exceptional," Colleoni states. Tiny fossils show that the earliest parts of the core go back to the late Miocene, about 6 million years back, dates that were validated by the patterns of magnetism tape-recorded in the sediments.
The other website, which yielded cores from 4 holes, is some 60 kilometers far from the initially one and near a submarine channel. When deep currents take a trip down such channels, they typically bring and deposit sediment that was deteriorated from neighboring land. (The currents passing over the drift, on the other hand, are believed to bring sediment from much further away.) Scientists can trace the origin of sediment by studying the mineralogy and chemistry of specific grains, comparing them to rocks on land. By integrating numerous lines of proof, the group wishes to presume when the ice sheet pulled back.
The cores from both websites likewise consist of pebbles or bigger stones that were transferred from the continent by icebergs. An abundance of such stones is another, more uncomplicated indication of a pulling away ice sheet that is calving numerous icebergs.
A crucial concern is how the waxing and subsiding of the ice sheet associates with records of ocean temperature levels, which the scientists can approximate from the abundance of specific chemical isotopes in the fossilized shells of small organisms called foraminifera.
The research study group anticipates to invest the next 2 years coaxing this history out of the cores. However their analysis of them started on board the ship, as quickly as they emerged from the drill rig. "The JOIDES Resolution is a remarkable drifting laboratory," states Julia Wellner, a sedimentologist at the University of Houston in Texas who co-led the exploration. An x-ray maker was set up on board for the very first time to look inside the cores for pebbles stopped by melting icebergs. In addition to counting the pebbles, the group has actually discovered a range of layers, sediment types, and patterns of deposition that reveal the conditions of the ocean through time. "That was the truly exciting thing about this cruise," Wellner states. "I had a little bit of dread that we would drill 800 meters of the same thing."

Orbite Aluminae Inc. is a Canadian Corporation with innovative and proprietary processes that are expected to produce alumina and other high-value by-products, such as rare earth and rare metal oxides, at one of the lowest costs in the industry, without generating any wastes. Orbite's processes use feedstocks that include aluminous clay, kaolin, nepheline, bauxite, red mud and fly ash. Orbite is operating and optimizing its first commercial high-purity alumina (HPA) production plant in Cap-Chat, Québec. Orbite has completed the basic engineering for a proposed smelter-grade alumina (SGA) production plant, which would use clay mined from its Grande-Vallée deposit. Orbite signed an exclusive worldwide collaborative agreement with Veolia Environmental Services for the remediation of red mud using the Orbite processes with the intent to begin construction of a Veolia-operated plant. The Corporation has an intellectual property portfolio that contains 14 IP families and owns the intellectual property rights to nine patents and 40 pending patent applications in 10 different countries.
