Her Fannish Biography
Joan Martin was an active slash fan writer and editor. She participated in fandom by mentoring other fans, offering writing workshops at conventions, betaing stories for writers and fanzine publishers up to her death in 2006.
On the topic of slash: "Slash is a wonderfully subversive voice whispering or shouting around the edges and into the cracks of mainstream culture. It abounds in unconventional thinking. It's fraught with danger for the status quo, filled with temptingly perilous notions of self-determination and successful defiance of social norms." (Joan Martin, 1992, "Is Slash an Alternative Medium?")[1]
"She was born and raised in Minnesota - St. Paul, I believe - by her mother, a widow with a college degree- quite, quite rare in those days. I think her mom did social work. I remember Joan talking about going to settlement houses as a child.
Joan's lifelong interest in live theater and writing began when she was a child telling stories to her friends. She attended university with a number of well-known actors, including the brothers James Arness and Peter Graves. She dated Stewart Granger. She worked as an usher at the The Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis so that she could have access to plays, concerts and events, all of which enriched her from an early age. She described taking a street car ride into town as a nine-year-old in order to attend some performances, saying she knew it wasn't exactly safe even then but that she'd learned how to protect herself and be aware of any threats. She did not believe in keeping children from the realities of the dark side of life, feeling that they then entered adulthood, unarmed.
She looked for people to teach and encourage. An "egalitarian elitist," she didn't care who you were or where you started from as long as you showed promise, a willingness to work and a mind prepared to receive information and learn from it.
She taught in public schools, through the military as a civilian contractor and, of course, in writing workshops. Those of us whose work she edited have benefited far more than we can yet know by her skills.
She had at least one post-graduate degree, possibly more. She taught all of her life up to the month she died. She was a skilled and intuitive editor, particularly for women working in the more subversive forms of writing. Few people walking the earth knew and understood as much as she did." ~ Sharon B. [2]
"Fan fiction has influenced my writing....It was any number of stories, but I can point to a specific writing workshop given by Joan Martin at Mountain Media Con (a very long time ago) that helped me understand the "shape" of a story -- how big the exposition is, and where the big plot points are placed inside, and how the different situations are resolved and nested together, and so on... how to know when your story is over, and how to make sure you actually write the critical scenes rather than condense them down to a couple of sentences!" ~ TreeWishes [3]
"I met Joan at a Pros (Professionals) fan convention in Milton Keynes. She was one of those old school fans who believed in being mentored into a fandom, when everything or almost everything was done at conventions, at smallish reunions in the house of this or that friend, when stories were passed around by hand, copied, typed, mailed back and forth across the ocean, when most stories were a 'conversation between writers', as another common friend said a couple of years ago. Joan remembered who were the first Pros writers, who first organised conventions, zines, libraries that would circulate stories among fans. She was also a woman with a rich life experience, with smart eyes, not afraid of saying what she wanted. She was a great editor, too, a person of spirit, who would look at the form, yes, but also at the spirit and heart of the content. She was kind. I was newish to the Pros fandom at the time, enthusiastic and bouncy about it, but also in a moment in my life in which I felt very scattered. We talked a lot, at that convention.....And in the years past that first meeting, we've been in touch, she's been my editor a few times, and an all over great friend, always present in moment of crisis, and always with a few, quiet, sure words." ~ Phantomas [4]
"I first met Joan via email in September 2005. She wrote in response to a request for editing help that I sent to a mailing list, offering guidance in choosing a person who would be right for me. After exchanging a couple of emails she told me she would look at the story herself. This developed into a correspondence that continued until the day before she went into hospital. She was busy and still teaching despite being theoretically 'retired' for many years. This made the time that she gave me a generous thing, so very precious. I was worried about imposing on her – she set me straight pretty quickly. She was a brilliant teacher/editor. I say teacher because she realised early on that I'm not an experienced writer. Joan could say, in very few words, exactly what she enjoyed or disliked about something. She could give detailed feedback in such a wonderfully concise, objective way, and then make everything seem brighter with one well placed positive comment. We didn't stick to discussing writing. Joan had a very sharp sense of humour and told me several funny anecdotes about fandom and life, several of which people have already mentioned. She told me about visiting New Zealand and standing on a beach on the South Island thinking that there was nothing between her and home but a very large quantity of water. She also said, after I told her my professional background, that her cats were her best physiotherapists. She gave her time and her considerable knowledge of writing unstintingly, When I had problems with the rhythm of some passages within a longer story, she suggested I read aloud to my pet turtle or (if the turtle wasn't interested) my teddy bear. Just one idea amongst so many." ~ Kiwisue [5]
"The first I heard of Joan was when she was mentioned by Sharon B. in the context of a zine to which we had both submitted. It had all been a confusion, owing to the publisher's health problems, and Sharon's story had not been edited as she had expected. She commented that in future she would always go through Joan first. I was still fairly new to the fandom and diffident about demanding who what when where, so didn't pursue that. In December I had a very nice note from Joan, saying she'd enjoyed my work. I was working on Boxing Day at that point, so I asked was she Sharon's Joan, and if so would she be willing to take a look. Well, she was, and she did, and it was the most enlightening experience. She had a wonderfully minimalist approach, but every suggested change was right on the mark. And after it had been posted she suggested a few more revisions, so we went over it again -- even more interesting, especially since she wasn't making any claim to have been perfect the first time. And then the subject of the zine came up. I had never received my trib copy and was surprised when she mentioned something in the story that I knew I'd changed. I hadn't kept my original version so she scanned and OCR'd it for me, and we worked together to make the whole thing right. And for all subsequent stories I had the inestimable benefit of her support. Even when other editors were involved she was my primary, so to speak. I passed editor comments on to her and she suggested what to accept, what to ignore, and what to protest. She was enormously helpful in various matters concerning the Proslib. She lent me zines, scanned stories for me, and of course just the day-to-day chat was a pleasure. I came to regard Joan as my most important reader as well as editor. Though always gentle, she wouldn't let me get away with half-baked crap. I don't know what I'll do without her, quite frankly." ~ Hagsrus [6]
"I knew Joan only in the most casual way, having met her at my first Escapade many years ago, where she was amused by my being the world's oldest/youngest Professionals fan (I had first watched the series when it was airing a couple months behind Britain's showings, on Canadian TV, but it took me 16 years to find other fans after the series had started migrating its way here through the organization of slash fans). She was one of what a lot of us refer to as the "mothers of fandom," and while there's a bit of a joke when we say that, it's very true. There are so many fans who've been around, organizing and pimping and sharing and creating, for so long, and most of them don't get their due now that fandom has exploded on the 'net and everyone coming in thinks they invented fandom, and don't care about any of the stuff that came before. Joan usually taught the writing workshops at Escapade those first years I was there, and though I didn't really have a lot to pick up, I went to a few of them because I thought she was an interesting person, and I really wanted to absorb the history from a lot of the people who came to that con year after year after year." ~ Gwyneth Rhys [7]

In 2008, one reviewer described Joan's fiction:
"I absolutely adore this story. It's one to bring out when you need something slow, gentle and gorgeous. It takes our boys to America over the Christmas period, ostensibly to retrieve some documents for Cowley but in reality Cowley realises just how tired they are and how they need some quality time together without the pressures of work. And so he gives them this opportunity wrapped up in a job. There are just so many fantastic things about this story. The spell she weaves with her descriptions; about the house/pool/hottub, the butterfly tree, the wildlife are just beautiful. I cannot recommend it highly enough." probodie (reviewing "In Hot Water-An Idyl") [8]

Cooper Noriega drugs survived by parents & sister, girlfriends net worth
The death of Noriega has been called a accident.
Cooper Noriega, who was famous on the app TikTok, died on June 9 at the age of 19. His mother, Treva Noriega, and father, Harold Noriega, and his sister, Parker Noriega, are the only ones who will remember him.
His death was at first being looked into, according to online records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner. However, J-14 confirmed in December 2022 that alprazolam, fentanyl, and lorazepam were all to blame for his death. Keep scrolling down to find out more about Cooper's mother, father, and sibling.
Who are the parents of Cooper Noriega?
Cooper's mom, Treva, owns a clothing brand called TrevasBeachWear where she sells beachwear online. Cooper was a popular TikTok user who died in 2017. Harold, his father, is a realtor in the Laguna Beach area. Cooper's parents often posted pictures of their family. In April 2022, Cooper's mom posted a picture of Parker and his sister.
Noriega had been open about the fact that he had problems with drugs.
Who is the sister of Cooper Noriega?
Cooper was especially close to his sister, and the two of them posted photos and TikToks of each other all the time. Parker works as a stylist and shopper for people. She even did the hair and makeup for Jaden Nessler, Nessa Barrett, and Nailea Devora, who are all famous TikTok friends of Cooper's.
On an Instagram post from April 2022, Parker wrote "For life" under a picture of the siblings. She also dressed her brother for events and parties and called him her "mini-me." After he died, Parker shared a message on social media through Cooper's Instagram account.
"Hello everybody. "On behalf of our family, we want to thank you all for the nice things you said about our little Coop," she wrote on June 11. "His death is a terrible loss for our family and friends. We pray that we can all carry on his work as a community. He cared about every single one of you. Please feel free to get in touch with us. We love hearing from people who care about us. Bless you all … from his sister, with love."
Noriega put up a TikTok video about dying young just hours before he died.
Cooper Noriega didn't hide the fact that he had trouble with drugs.
Cooper told his fans that he had started a Discord for mental health strictly before he died. Just 3 days before he died, he wrote on Instagram, "I've been struggling with addiction since I was 9 years old. You may think that's crazy, but that's the life I've been given. I'd like to use the power I have to make a place where people can talk about mental illness without feeling weird about it.
Cooper wrote, "One of the many things I've learned about addiction is that being around negative people will only bring you down." "Because of this, Discord is meant to bring us all together and give us a safe place to talk about our problems and help each other through them."
Cooper's family hasn't said anything about his death yet, and Cooper's representatives didn't answer J-14's request for a comment right away.

You can find stuff animals that are not only soft and cuddly, but also can sing a tune. For example, you can find a plush duckling that sings "You are my Sunshine". It is a great gift to let your kid know how much you love him/her.

European Parliament bans geo-blocking for e-commerce
The new legislation approved by Parliament requires websites to sell their goods throughout the EU regardless of the country the buyer resides in. It could apply to online cultural content like music streaming and ebooks within two years. EURACTIV.fr reports
The law voted by MEPs in Strasbourg on 6 February was adopted by a large majority (557 votes for, 89 against). It prohibits geo-blocking restrictions for the purchase of goods and services online.
Therefore, a French customer will be able to shop online in any other EU country, without any additional fees or without being rerouted or refused based on their country of residence, a common practice nowadays amongst e-merchants
Flaw in the system
The text, however, does not bind e-commerce websites to deliver their products in all EU countries, a problem that could stop the purchase of cross-border goods.
This impediment won't affect the purchase of services, such as hotel reservations, car rentals, but will affect goods such as clothing or appliances.
Nowadays, e-commerce is rapidly growing in the EU, with online sales rising around 20% per year." But only 7% of companies offer sales in another member state", said Andrus Ansip, the Commissioner for the digital single market.
Ansip strongly opposes territoriality, which hampers the creation of a digital single market envisaged by the EU. He also mentioned that the end of geo-blocking should further progress in Europe to allow the emergence of services such as a "European Netflix".
"It's a first step forward", he says. " And in two years time I hope that we can expand the scope of these solutions to online services such as video games, music, and e-books", he added.
Following lengthy discussions, European lawmakers in the end did not include in the final text cultural property such as music streaming websites, electronic books or online games. Audiovisual content was left out of the scope of application.

Vivien Leigh: A star with a secret
London Film Productions | Collection Christophel | AFP
Paul Asay - published on 07/07/17
Despite her struggle with bipolar disorder, the actress crafted a legendary career.
On July 8, 1967 — almost 50 years ago today — Vivien Leigh, one of the greatest stars of Hollywood's Golden Age, died of tuberculosis. She was just 53.
She won two Oscars during her career. Her first was in 1939 for her legend-making turn as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind. Her second came 12 years later for her work opposite Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire, where she played the fragile, and ultimately broken, Blanche DuBois. She was considered to be perhaps the most beautiful actress of her day; perhaps, arguably, of any day. But her on-screen presence hid an off-screen trial that her fans would've never suspected: Leigh suffered from bipolar disorder.
The surprising beauty secrets of Hollywood's Golden Age actresses
We talk about mental illness a bit more readily today… Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Demi Lovato are among the stars who've been diagnosed as bipolar.
"Four out of ten people with mental illness get help," Lovato said in Washington D.C. in 2015, according to Elle magazine. "You have to wonder about the other six."
But in Leigh's day, mental illness was not something commonly talked about. It wasn't just a disease; many thought it was a weakness. And even when something was clearly wrong with someone's mental state, doctors were often unsure about what to do about it. Instead of being given lithium, as most people with bipolar disorder are today, Leigh was treated with electro-shock therapy.
Some have said that Leigh's first miscarriage in 1940 brought about her mental illness. But friends of hers said the signs of the disorder showed up much earlier. "Vivien would get along fine for a few weeks, a few months — be perfectly normal and friendly and involved in her activities," an old schoolmate of Leigh's said. "Then, suddenly, a complete turnaround. Sometimes it would last for only a few hours, other times a day or more. But when it happened, we'd see a completely different girl — moody, silent, petulant, rude, often hysterical."
Despite these terrible mood swings, Leigh crafted a legendary career.
Isabella Rossellini, the master of reinvention, starts a new chapter at 64
In 1940, she divorced her first husband (Leigh Holman) and married the great Lawrence Olivier. They became Hollywood's ultimate power couple of the day, appearing together in three films. But for all of her success on the silver screen, she only made 20 films. She always considered herself a stage actress first, and she and Olivier shared that stage many times.
"I'm not a film star; I am an actress," she once said. "Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity. … Actresses go on for a long time and there are always marvelous parts to play."
But as her career continued to climb, her bipolar disorder was growing more serious. In Anthony Holden's book Olivier, the famous actor said of his wife, "Throughout her possession by that uncannily evil monster, manic depression, with its deadly ever-tightening spirals, she retained her own individual canniness — an ability to disguise her true mental condition from almost all except me, for whom she could hardly be expected to take the trouble."
She showed an incredible dedication to her roles. Elia Kazan, director for Streetcar, said Leigh would've "crawled over broken glass if she thought it would help her performance." But Leigh herself said it was a turning point in her mental health. She later said that the role "tipped me over into madness."
Leigh developed a reputation of being difficult to work with, and soon her mental struggles were well known throughout the entertainment industry. In 1954, she had a breakdown on the set of Elephant Walk, and would only make four more films. Her last performance was in 1965's Ship of Fools. It proved to be a rocky production: Leigh was clearly not well, and she'd often lash out at the film's other actors. She allegedly hit co-star Lee Marvin so hard with a shoe that it marked his face.
Watching Leigh in the film can be difficult, knowing her struggles: Her work is raw, sometimes painful to see — even though just two years away from her death, she was still a beautiful, magnetic presence. And though Leigh exasperated director Stanley Kramer at first, he later marveled at her ability to perform so well under such trying conditions. "She was ill, and the courage to go ahead, the courage to make the film, was almost unbelievable," he later told author Hugo Vickers for his book Vivien Leigh.
Clearly, bipolar disorder didn't obscure Leigh's brilliance, and that's a tribute to her talent and determination (as well as the dedication of some of the folks closest to her). But I do wonder, had she more adequate help for illness, just how much more brightly her star would've shined. .

China's mixed signals and ESG trade-offs
by Christine Dawson 19 Nov 2021
Asset managers predict continued growth of opportunities despite some disappointments at COP26 and a recent U-turn on coal
China's choices around net zero and COP26 have kept the world on the edge of its seat, and investors have been keenly watching the nation's direction of travel on climate.
But, overall, the view from the industry on China's climate commitments seems to be one of disappointment and confusion. The nation's leadership did not attend the UN conference in Glasgow, it refused to join an agreement to limit methane and when negotiating the COP pact China and India won a change of wording from coal "phase out" to "phase down." Then China and the US unexpectedly declared they would boost climate co-operation.
Despite the mixed signals in policy, the move towards the green transition in private finance in Asia continues; this week, Bin Yuan Capital announced it would become the first Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative signatory in China.
Reallocation of assets
Rong Ren Goh, portfolio manager, fixed income at Eastspring Investments noted Asia will be "meaningfully impacted" by financial services' increasing alignment with net zero by 2050.
"The pullback of funding from carbon intensive projects, towards more sustainable activities will likely accelerate, particularly from larger emitters such as China and India. We will see a major reallocation of assets which will influence the behaviours of participants in this value chain, issuers and investors alike," he said.
He cited opportunities opening up in renewables, electric vehicles (EVs), infrastructure, low carbon technologies and agriculture.
Eastspring itself, Goh said, will be supporting the green transition by developing a comprehensive range of Asia-focused ESG investment strategies.
Activist investors
Jake Nilsson, Federated Hermes head of APAC distribution, said he hopes progress on sustainable finance in the region will not begin and end with new products.
"Whilst we have seen an uptake from APAC investors into sustainable products, we would hope to see this increase and move a step further into strategies that would not only engage on all the portfolio holdings (which we already do) but will take more of an activist investor role if those engagement conversations are not delivered on within a reasonable time frame, something we could explore ourselves in the future," commented Nilsson.
ESG trade-offs
For investors looking to China and India's insistence on rewording the coal phase out to a coal phase down, Alberto Matellán, chief economist at MAPFRE, said it is worth remembering that sometimes there is a necessary trade-off between social and environmental factors.
"As investors, we integrate both social and environmental issues at the same levels, like governments must do, and sometimes there must be trade-off between them.
"For example, there are certain regions or countries that would be much poorer than they are now if we remove every fossil fuel energy from that area. They simply do not have alternatives.
"In this sense, the Chinese and Indian governments may think that their societies are facing more urgent issues, and thus, paradoxically, committing to too ambitious climate goals would prevent them from improving their social wellness enough to reach them."
Kathlyn Collins, head of ESG at Matthews Asia, is confident asset managers will continue to see plenty of opportunities for investing in environmental issues in China which is responsible for 27% of global carbon emissions.
"China needs to reform its energy mix, and drastically improve energy efficiency for industrial companies. Growing transition fuels like natural gas and the infrastructure that goes along with that are important. The country needs to promote green lifestyles, and ramp up its carbon capture/storage technology.
"Over the last decade, China spent twice more than the US on climate action and has greatly outpaced the US in terms of installed renewables capacity, but has still not been fast enough, so this will continue to represent a huge growth area, with opportunities in renewables, electrification etc. as the country transitions to a low-carbon economy."
Stamping out coal
Collins took stock of China's recently "upgraded" national climate plans in which it has now said it will reach peak carbon emissions before 2030, getting to 25% non-fossil energy by 2030 (up from the prior 20%) and no longer financing new coal power schemes overseas.
She said investors should look at how the country's pledge to get to a low-carbon economy will play out in terms of technologies, industrial efficiency upgrades and daily life. Like Goh, Collins predicts further growth in green transport as China is the largest and fastest growing market for EVs – aiming for 40% of new vehicles sales to be electric by 2030.
With power generation and industry accounting for about 75% of the emissions in China, the head of ESG added a low-carbon economy in China can only be realized with less reliance coal power, or if the country becomes more services-driven. She commented that China is dominating the battery space and innovating more sustainable battery materials.
Collins precited China's recent energy crunch and reversion to coal power would not be a barrier to the nation's long-term climate goals, but was instead likely to speed up the adoption of new technologies in its low-carbon transition.

Ron Sela will be the Central Asia Visiting Professor in May 2017
Ron Sela, Associate Professor of Central Asian History in the Department of Central Eurasian Studies at Indiana University – Bloomington, will be the Central Asia Visiting Professor from 19 until 25 May 2017. Ron Sela will deliver a guest lecture and a master class within the Central Asia Initiative at Leiden University.
Ron Sela is Associate Professor of Central Asian History in the Department of Central Eurasian Studies at Indiana University – Bloomington where he also serves as Director of the Islamic Studies Program. He taught previously at the University of Michigan, spent a year as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Institute of Asian & African Studies at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and in 2012 he was a Member of the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
Professor Sela has published on the history and historiography of Central Asia, particularly in the post-Mongol era from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries. More broadly, he studies cultural and political self-representation in Muslim literary traditions and the boundaries that defined different groups and peoples that emerge in the literary traditions in Central Asia (and, to a lesser extent, in South Asia and the Middle East). In his publications, he explores rhetorical strategies, rituals and customs, labels, genealogies, myths of origin, sources of inspiration and cultural and political symbols and their relationships with authority and power. He examines representations and perceptions of shared histories exhibited in court ceremonies, in symbolic objects of power, in popular literature and in more official depictions of traumatic "national" events.
In his historiographical publications, Sela examines both the tension between official and unofficial sources inside Central Asia, and the fascinating relationships between internal and external sources. Whether these are gaps or contradictions in representation, or direct and indirect influences from outsiders on insiders (and vice versa), Sela has been interested in revealing the sources for particular stories, the transformation of these stories over time, and the way such transformations served, and continue to serve today, different constituencies.

Since the end of ch.7, Tomas got a hair-cut as part of Nar's efforts to reintroduce him to civlization. Unfortunately it'll probably do little to cut down on the gender confusion.
Didn't think I was going to get this finished today, but here we are.


Radioactive iodine detected in the water supply added to the anxiety about Japan's nuclear crisis.
TOKYO — Radioactive iodine detected in Tokyo's water supply prompted Japanese authorities on Wednesday to warn that infants in Tokyo and surrounding areas should not be given tap water to drink, adding to the anxiety about public safety posed by Japan's unfolding nuclear crisis.
The announcement prompted a run on bottled water at stores in Tokyo and a pledge from the authorities to distribute bottled water to families with infants. Prime Minister Naoto Kan said earlier Wednesday that the public should avoid additional farm produce from areas near the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, severely damaged by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, according to the Japanese news media.
The Health Ministry said that it was unlikely that there would be negative consequences for infants who were given the water, but that it should be avoided if possible and not be used to make infant formula. There was some confusion about the public health advice, with experts saying it should also apply to pregnant women, since they and fetuses were vulnerable.
As authorities tried to maintain calm in Tokyo, residents were racing to buy as much bottled water as they could, clearing the shelves of the city's stores. Mr. Edano said Thursday that officials were considering a plan to import water from overseas, to supplement the bottles they planned to begin distributing across the city.
Despite the frequent rain in recent days, it was not entirely clear why the levels of iodine were so high, said a senior Western nuclear executive, noting that the prevailing breezes seemed to be pushing radiation out to sea. "The contamination levels are well beyond what you'd expect from what is in the public domain," said the executive, who insisted on anonymity and has broad contacts in Japan.
The daily Asahi Shimbun cited the Health Ministry as saying that drinking the water would hurt neither a pregnant woman nor her fetus, and that it was safe for bathing and other everyday activities.
But experts say that pregnant women, nursing mothers and fetuses, as well as children, face the greatest danger from radioactive iodine, which is taken in by the thyroid gland and can cause thyroid cancer. Children are at much higher risk than adults because they are growing, and their thyroid glands are more active and in need of iodine. In addition, the gland is smaller in children than in adults, so a given amount of iodine 131 will deliver a higher dose of radiation to a child's thyroid and potentially do more harm.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, if an adult and a child ingest the same amount of radioactive iodine, the thyroid dose will be 16 times higher to a newborn than to an adult; for a child under 1 year old, eight times the adult dose; for a 5-year-old, four times the adult dose.
Pregnant women also take up more iodine 131 in the thyroid, especially in the first trimester. The iodine crosses the placenta and reaches the fetus, and the fetal thyroid takes up more iodine as pregnancy progresses. During the first week after birth a baby's thyroid activity increases up to fourfold and stays at that level for a few days, so newborns are especially vulnerable.
The 1986 accident at Chernobyl caused an epidemic of thyroid cancer — 6,000 cases so far — in people who were exposed as children. The culprit was milk produced by cows that had grazed on grass heavily carpeted by fallout. The epidemic could probably have been prevented if people in the region had been told not to drink milk and if they had been given potassium iodide.
The warning Wednesday applied to Tokyo's 23 wards, as well as to the towns of Mitaka, Tama, Musashino, Machida and Inagi to the west. At a press briefing on Thursday, Mr. Edano said radiation had also shown up in tests of water supplies for two of Tokyo's neighboring prefectures, Chiba and Saitama, in levels above the maximum recommended limits for infants, but below levels considered dangerous to adults.
At a Lawson convenience store in the Tsukiji neighborhood of central Tokyo, the shelves were about half-stocked with water. A clerk said he had restocked them just an hour before.
Outside the store a man struggling to load more than 30 half-liter bottles on his bicycle said he had bought the water for his wife, who is seven months pregnant.
The city government said it would begin distributing 240,000 bottles of water on Thursday to families with children younger than 1 year, the broadcaster NHK reported. There are about 80,000 such children in the affected zone, NHK said. Outside Tokyo, the government said it had found radioactive materials exceeding legal limits in 11 vegetables in Fukushima Prefecture, the Kyodo news agency reported. Shipments of the affected vegetables from there ended on Monday. On Wednesday, Prime Minister Kan also suspended shipments of raw milk and parsley from neighboring Ibaraki Prefecture, Kyodo reported.
The United States Food and Drug Administration said on Tuesday that it would prohibit imports of dairy goods and produce from the affected region. Hong Kong also banned food and milk imports from the area. Canada on Wednesday imposed stricter controls on milk products, fruits and vegetables, and Australia on Thursday imposed new restrictions on food products including seaweed and seafood.
Mr. Kan's office said Wednesday that rebuilding after the 9.0-magnitude quake and tsunami would cost up to $309 billion. The World Bank, citing private estimates, said on Monday that the figure could reach $235 billion.
The economic cost of the disaster has hit the Tokyo Electric Power Company, which operates the crippled nuclear plant and is in negotiations with its bankers for loans of as much as $24 billion, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation who asked not to be identified.
The Associated Press reported on Wednesday that the official death toll from the disaster had been raised to more than 9,500, with more than 16,000 people missing, although officials said there could be overlap between the figures.
Meanwhile, a magnitude 6.0 quake shook Fukushima Prefecture in the morning, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency, followed by a magnitude 5.8 tremor about 20 minutes later.

Coronavirus testing and capacity
"The Court of Protection team has been asked to advise on a number of occasions as to the legal position in relation to testing for COVID-19, especially as testing (a) starts to be more generally available; and (b) is increasingly been rolled out as mandatory in certain settings. What follows is a general discussion, as opposed to legal advice on the facts of individual cases, which the team can provide. It primarily relates to the position in England in relation to those aged 18 and above; specific advice should be sought in respect of Wales and those under 18."

Commentary on protective measure case
This article states that the two litigants in person, in seeking recognition and enforcement of a Canadian "Continuing Power of Attorney for Property" as a protective measure (under Part 4 Schedule 3 MCA 2005), had led the judge astray, as the relevant question was whether (under Part 3) the Canadian power was valid according to Ontario law, assuming JMK had been habitually resident there at the point of granting the power. A application can be made under rule 23.6 Court of Protection Rules 2017 in any case where there is doubt as to the basis upon which the attorney under a foreign power is operating.

Coronavirus public health restrictions
"Two sets of regulations brought into force in the past week have radically changed the legal landscape in England & Wales, effectively placing the population under severe restrictions (which the Daily Mail might even characterise as house arrest) for their good, and the good of society. This post looks at them through the prism of the law relating to those with impaired decision-making capacity; it also looks at through a similar prism at a part of the Coronavirus Act 2020 which is not (yet) in force, but is likely to come into force shortly,"
Gareth Owen et al, 'Advance decision-making in mental health - suggestions for legal reform in England and Wales' (2019) 64 Intl JL & Psychiatry 162 Journal article
Advance decision-making
Publisher's abstract: "This paper argues that existing English and Welsh mental health legislation (The Mental Health Act 1983 (MHA)) should be changed to make provision for advance decision-making (ADM) within statute and makes detailed recommendations as to what should constitute this statutory provision. The recommendations seek to enable a culture change in relation to written statements made with capacity such that they are developed within mental health services and involve joint working on mental health requests as well as potential refusals. In formulating our recommendations, we consider the historical background of ADM, similarities and differences between physical and mental health, a taxonomy of ADM, the evidence base for mental health ADM, the ethics of ADM, the necessity for statutory ADM and the possibility of capacity based 'fusion' law on ADM. It is argued that the introduction of mental health ADM into the MHA will provide clarity within what has become a confusing area and will enable and promote the development and realisation of ADM as a form of self-determination. The paper originated as a report commissioned by, and submitted to, the UK Government's 2018 Independent Review of the Mental Health Act 1983."

Social distancing and mental capacity
"The Court of Protection team have been asked to advise on a number of occasions since 17 March 2020 as to the legal position where a person ("P") lives in the community and declines to practice social distancing in circumstances where P does not (or may not) have capacity to make decisions about social contact in the circumstances of COVID-19. Clearly the consequences of P going into the community, as she ordinarily would, are (a) that she is at risk of contracting COVID-19, (b) that she may infect others, if she has the virus, and (c) that she may be in breach of the new police powers which have come into effect."

'I actually wanted to make a room in which that feeling plays, so the idea of a place without being where it is.'
Naame Morgan Betz
Born: The Netherlands, 1974
ARTZUID edition(s): ARTZUID 2019

Morgan Betz is a visual artist with Dutch-American roots. He makes paintings, sculptures and installations in his hometown Amsterdam, but also from Berlin and Japan. Betz was educated at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and De Ateliers, a postdoc course at the National Academy of Visual Arts.
With his objects, he protests the fact that art objects often have to have some form of relevance. The basic beauty of the object no longer seems to be enough. Betz takes a contrary and sometimes provocative approach. He tries to find a balance between a flow of ideas and the final work of art. After completion, this must save itself within the art world. Time and again he explores the boundary between fiction and reality. Recognizable images (fish, breasts, garden fences) seem innocent and funny, but they also evoke paradoxes and puns that give rise to grim scenes.
He creates brightly coloured chalk drawings that resemble electrically charged feverish dreams about a parallel universe. Often images from pop culture form the basis for this, for example, photos of Elvis Presley in Hawaii or characters from Dragonball Z. Sometimes they also explicitly refer to Sunday painters. Betz's drawing style is associative rather than realistic and spreads a glowing, almost tangible energy.
In 2018, Betz held the exhibition 'Flies on Milk, Green Eggs and Ham' at the Kunstmuseum in The Hague, partly named after the children's book 'Green Eggs and Ham' (1960) by Dr Seuss. In doing so, he returned to his childhood years. Flies on milk refers to a line by the French medieval poet François Villon. For this exhibition, he also designed a sculpture consisting of an enormous bright pink cross made of tubular steel, which was placed in the pond near the museum. This sculpture was shown a year later during ARTZUID 2019.

Providing an evolved brand identity for the relaunch of a prestigious Birmingham based Michelin-starred restaurant.
Originally a pop-up in a former Sandwich Shop, Adam's reopened in January 2016 in permanent new six-figure premises on Waterloo Street, Birmingham. The restaurant was recently named the UK's best in the fine dining category by TripAdvisor and fourth in the world.
The Michelin-starred restaurant needed to appeal to a variety of audiences, from regular fine diners and corporate clients to special occasion diners and prospective staff. The confident new brand runs throughout the new restaurant, with signs, menus and uniforms all bearing a distinctive visual signature, consistent with the new website and marketing materials.
From the creation of an insightful brief right through to the design of our beautiful new website, we've been surprised and delighted again and again.

The shell is the tough external part that some sea animals own. The internal part is the mother of pearl. It is often smooth and polished with iridescent gleams.
A lot of writers separate the shell and the mother of pearl. However, it is the same material even if the pearl is a defensive reaction of some mollusks. It is therefore rare and it has a different story.
The shell is made of nacre. Shells are chemically similar in spite of their physical differences. They are composed of two elements: an organic matrix made of proteins and an inorganic deposit of carbonate limestone.
Since the beginning of life, men have always been fascinated and attracted by shells because of its iridescent colors, its shapes and its symbol between earth and sea.
Shells were used as money all around the world, more especially in the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, in North America, in Africa and in the Caribbean. They could be exchanged kilometers from their original location and would even be more expensive when it was among people living far from the coast.
The shells were also used to play music, and more particularly as a wind instrument. Most often, it is the top of the shell of big sea snails that are cut and carved.
The shell is omnipresent in man history and we can only give a few examples of its presence in the different cultures of the world.
Shells were sketched by the first Christians as a symbol of resurrection.
The scallops are considered by the first Christians as a symbol of Saint Jacques, one of the twelve apostles, which grave would be found in Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Nacre was often linked to mother love due to its milky and soft color. For catholics, it was therefore often linked to mother Mary. This is why a lot of rosaries are made of this material.
North American tribes (such as the algonquins) would use shells to weave wampum. They are sacred objects for rituals made of shell. It was a strand of pearls that could be used as a belt, a necklace, a gift or money. It was quite common for them to use these shells to decorate their hair.
The Mayas would also use nacre to make dental implants.
Shells are very present in Hinduism and more particularly the conch. It is one of the eight symbols of Buddhism, or Ashtamangala. The dextrorotatory white conch is the heroes trumpet in the epic literature. The Panchajanya conch is one of the accessories of the god Vishnou representing the creation of the world coming from the primordial ocean.
In Buddhism, the conch symbolizes the voice of Buddha and its teaching.
The Australian aborigines used a shell in the shape of a bowl that they would call Melo melo on their boats.
In the Caribbean Santeria, shells are used for divination.
Nowadays, shells are used in treatments for the body. Each shell has its own healing properties. You can find them in aromatherapy and in reiki.
They are used for divination, each species having their own symbols and messages.
Nacre is the symbol for the 42th anniversary.
Mines: shells are present everywhere but more specific specimens can be found in Madagascar, China, Thailand, Mexico, Costa Rica and Australia.
Shells would have regenerative properties for bones. They are made of elements that can intervene in the restructuration process and can stimulate the skin.
They would improve digestion and kidneys.
It would help against arthritis, rheumatism and lymphatic problems.
They would help women to get pregnant. It would protect the fetus in its development.

2019 Top 100 Retailers Power Players: Leisure Retailers
By STORES Contributor on	 July 1, 2019 Consumer Trends, Exclusive Resources
Retailers built on a cooperative business model rarely achieve the size and success of REI. In addition to hitting record sales last year, the co-op signed on 1 million new members, bringing the total to 18 million. REI returned $204 million to its members through both dividends and credit card rewards. In addition, REI invested $8.4 million in more than 400 nonprofit organizations.
The results, says interim chief executive Eric Artz, "show that doing good is good business. We have a strong foundation, but we must do more. As a community, we must confront the serious problems facing society."
As part of its sustainability objectives and efforts to encouraging re-use, REI is expanding its rental program to 115 stores, making available snowshoes, skis, snowboards, camping equipment, backpacking kits and other gear. REI also sells used gear, often items that have been traded in on newer equipment. Noting that one study shows half of Americans don't engage in outdoor recreation, Artz says, "Most of the U.S. population is disconnected from nature, spending more time inside than outdoors. We need to reverse that trend. Spending time outside isn't only good for people's health. It connects people to something bigger — a desire to fight for the future of life outside."
Another initiative is the introduction of product sustainability standards. "We're determined to make it as easy as possible for people to make more sustainable choices," says Ben Steele, REI's chief customer officer, "In 2019, we see the expanded rental and used gear program as keeping us moving toward a sustainable and accessible outdoor future by offering new models of access to great outdoor gear and apparel."

Q: How to get contents of a file on my computer from my website? I want to get the contents of a file on my computer from my website , But not uploading it to that website and then get the contents because the file contents changes dynamically , I tried to turn the folder that contains that file to a URL so the URl whould be something like that : http://127.0.0.1:port or http://myIpAddress:port ,
and tried to use both file_get_contents() and cURL but I got errors and they are not working ,
 I allowed xmlHTTPrequest to the directory but still can't use it .
Some of the errors:
when using 127.0.0.1:port :
1- file_get_contents(): failed to open stream: Connection refused
2- curl faild to connect to 127.0.0.1
when using my ip then the port:
1- file_get_contents no route to host
2- curl bool(false)
So is there is another way to get contents from a file from my website ?

A: In your server CD to directory you want to serve, then
python3 -m http.server

By default it runs http server on 8000 port but you can specify custom port in argument

The course is built in a very scenic location in the enchanted mountains of Cattaraugus County and is overseen by our GCSAA Certified Superintendent Kyle Reynolds. The undulating greens are tough to read and fast. There is a creek that comes into play on three holes and it attracts any wayward golfballs. Well placed bunkers complete the layout to provide challenges around the greens. Players have the option of playing the White, Black, or Red tees and this give the player a different approach and distance to each hole.
