A murder trial of suspect Misonzi Chanthunya that he poisoned a 25-year-old Zimbabwean accountancy student could not go in full swing trial at the High Court in Zomba before Judge Redson Kapindu as State prosecutors raised the preliminary objections.
Chanthunya is a prime suspect in the 2010 murder of Linda Gasa, who was believed to be his girlfriend.
But the trial was adjourned after the prosecution raised two preliminary objections, including defence legal counsel Fostino Mayere's alleged conflict of interest.
Dr. Steven Kayuni, lead state prosecutor, says Mayere is not the right person to represent Chanthunya as he was a senior State advocate who represented the State in the same case in 2011.
"He is the author of the legal opinion of this case which may affet justice if the court allows him tonrepresent the accused person," said Kayuni.
Maere argued that the court should not prohibit him from representing Chanthunyua unless it has evidence that he has confidential prejudicial information of the matter.
"If I had the confidential prejudicial information, I could not have taken up this case," he said.
Judge Kapindu says the preliminary issues can not be dealt orally and asked for a written submissions.
Gasa, second-year student at the Malawi College of Accountancy in Malawi 's commercial capital, Blantyre, was found entombed in a make-shift encrypt in a bathroom of the 41-year-old businessman's private cottage a month after she went missing (He was 34 during the crime incident).
Family members had reported to police that Gasa was last seen in the company of Chanthunya going to the cottage in the southern resort district of Mangochi to discuss the her three-month old pregnancy, which her married lover wanted to terminate against her wishes. But despite Gasa's prolonged disappearance police still let Chanthunya go Scot-free after interrogating him twice.
Nyasa Times broke the story in 2010 after Jessie Kachale, a cousin of Gasa's, had reported the police were not helping to investigate the matter.
Chanthunya fled Malawi and an international man-hunt was launched until he was in 2012 in Rustenburg, in the North West Province of South Africa.
The murder suspect was extradited to Malawi from South Africa on March 1 this year and is on remand at Chichiri Prison in Blantyre.
He applied for the bail pending an appeal to the Supreme court after the High Court in Zomba denied him the same last month on the premise that he was a flight risk and that the nature of his case warrants that he stays in custody.
On , the State, represented by Pirirani Masanjala and Dziko Malunda from the office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP); and Chrispin Ngunde representing Chanthunya, presented their arguments before Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal Judge Dunstan Mwaungulu.
Chanthunya also wants the case to be heard by a nine-member full panel of Supreme Court Judges, which the State also challenged.
After hearing both sides, Mwaungulu adjourned the case and said he would communicate with both parties on the court's next decision.

This case has been dragging, this is to confirm corruption and bribe by our police and judges.
Look at Kasambara, he is now out of Prison enjoying freedom at home.
Look at Joyce Banda she is still free despite of cashgate issues.
Look at Masangwi, the one who killed Robert Chasowa. He is still enjoying freedom.
Why not sentensing Chantchunya? which other evidence are you judjes and police looking for??
He looks very healthy and well fed. What prison is he staying at? Mount Soche Hotel or Ryalls? I need to be arrested so that I look that good. I am free yet I look more of a prisoner than him!

What is compost? Well, it is basically decayed organic matter. Composting continually occurs in nature, as materials such as fallen leaves and dead plants are transformed, with the help of earthworms, microorganisms, and beneficial fungi into a soil-like material.
What Is Compost Used for in the Garden?
Dark, earthy, and rich in nutrients, compost makes a great soil amendment or mulch for your garden. It improves soil structure, loosening clay soils and helping sandy soils retain water. Compost increases soil fertility and feeds the microorganisms that are necessary for a healthy soil.
Because compost is so great for your plants, it can be used instead of synthetic fertilizers. It has been an essential part of gardening for centuries, and in many ways it is healthier for garden soil than synthetic fertilizers. And best of all, compost is cheap! You can make your own compost as part of your gardening routine.
Adding large amounts of compost is one of the best ways to improve your soil when starting a new garden. Dig in large amounts of compost when you create the bed, or add a thick layer of compost to the surface and till it under.
Add compost every year to give your plants a boost. An easy way to do this is to lightly work compost into the soil surface around your plants. The nutrients will make their way down into the soil. When you plant new perennials or divide old ones, take the opportunity to add compost to the planting hole.
You can use compost to feed your lawn, too. Once or twice a year, spread an inch of compost over your lawn and gently rake it in.
What Is Compost Made From?
Making compost from your garden and household waste is easy and rewarding. You can turn organic materials that otherwise would end up in the landfill into food your plants will love. For help getting started, see How to Make Compost.
If you don't want to make your own compost, many cities or counties have community compost piles, where residents can drop off yard waste and pick up finished compost for free. What a great use for the leaves you rake up each fall!
Compost can also be purchased in bulk or bags at garden centers. Because it comes from a variety of sources, compost may be called many things. Composted manure is manure that has been aged to a crumbly material resembling topsoil. Fully composted manure has no smell and is a terrific food for your plants. Mushroom compost, another popular soil amendment, is a by-product of mushroom farming and contains composted, sterilized manure.
No matter what is compost created from, it is a great way to enrich your soil and feed your plants naturally.


Michigan State researcher thinks mutations will help identify genes governing apple quality traits.
Not three-eyed monsters that might appear in your headlights near cemeteries on dark nights. We're talking about apple mutations—sport—that appear randomly on apple trees in orchards.
Dr. Randy Beaudry, the post-harvest physiologist at Michigan State University, would like growers to keep an eye out for limbs bearing fruit different from other fruit on the tree.
He thinks these sports present the perfect opportunity to identify the location of the genes that control important quality traits.
Growers have been noticing sports for years. Some of them very successfully found new strains of varieties that are earlier, later, bigger, or redder and earned money from royalties when this new wood was propagated and sold to other growers.
There are now dozens of strains of McIntosh and Gala, and several of earlier or redder Honeycrisp.
Beaudry wants to find the genes behind these changes, but sometimes genetics are just too complicated. There are thousands of genes that make a McIntosh different from a Honeycrisp. But in a sport, there may be just one gene that makes the limb different from the rest of the tree.
That gave him the idea that a specific gene for a specific fruit trait might be located by comparing the genomes of the parent tree and the sport limb.
The technology to make that kind of comparison now exists. Beaudry has teamed up with Dr. Korbinian Schneeberger, a genetics researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Germany. He has developed what he calls "next generation sequencing" to identify gene function by comparing genomes.
Beaudry said Schneeberger is "the one guy on the planet" who can do this. But until Beaudry entered the picture, Schneeberger was working with noncommercial plants. "He didn't know about sports and the possibility of finding plants that might differ from each other by only one gene," Beaudry said.
Now, Beaudry is asking growers to keep their eyes open, looking for limbs that are clearly different in terms of fruit or leaf color, fruit size, earliness or lateness of ripening, russeting or smoothness of skin, ability to form spurs, or freedom from disease or defects.
Beaudry has already recruited some folks with a reputation for finding sports. Both the Harold Thome and Bernard Thome families on Fruit Ridge north of Grand Rapids have found important sports of McIntosh and Empire.
Growers Fred Rasch and Bernie Thome are listed as collaborators on the project. Also collaborating is Wanda Heuser Gale at International Plant Management, who works with growers who find sports to develop them into full-fledged varieties.
One of those is RubyMac, a sport of McIntosh found by Bernard Thome in 1999 and patented in 2006.
Beaudry has already sent samples from the parent tree that generated RubyMac, with the hope of identifying the gene or genes that give it that deep redness that covers almost the entire apple and make it color earlier in the season.
Luckily, the parent tree that produced that limb mutation—a McIntosh of the strain called Startling—still exists in that orchard near Comstock Park, Michigan.
Beaudry spoke to growers during the fourth annual RidgeFest this summer, where he made his appeal for their support. He stressed that this is a "proof of concept" project, an experiment, and that his work is based on a hypothesis. It has not been proven.

Two years ago Horizon asked some Natural History film makers to make a film and then, in the intervening years, filmed how they did it.
How, for example, do you get cameras inside birds' nests that are in dark holes in trees, or into the bottom of an insect-eating pitcher plant to film the plant's eye-view of its dinner? How do you arrange for a pike to catch a stickleback successfully in full view of the camera and lights?
It's probably the most detailed film ever made of the life of the stickleback, even down to the way he sees the world through a haze of tiny animals that lodge in the lens of his eye.
Two kinds of colonists went out from 17th-century England. Merchant adventurers founded plantations in Virginia and the south, and experimented with ' democratical' government and new crops like tobacco. Religious dissidents, the Pilgrims and Puritans, landed up in New England and, under the leadership of Governor John Winthrop , hoped to lead more independent and godly lives through their congregational establishment. Both communities came to settle and trade, and by the mid-18th century a thin strip of British colonies extended the length of the eastern seaboard.
The man who most typified the optimism and ' morning innocence ' of that America was from Philadelphia in the middle colonies: the printer, writer, inventor, diplomat, and statesman, Benjamin Franklin.

The Prisoner's Dilemma at the Movies
Every film noir involves a prisoner's dilemma. In all movies of this genre, the universe is alien and rather frightening; no-one's motives are quite clear; in a morally barren world, the characters have the opportunity to forge bonds of loyalty or to betray each other.
In one variation, the heist movie, freelance criminals team up to commit a robbery; if all cooperate, they will each receive a proportional share of the loot; if one betrays the others, he will take all, and the rest will have the sucker's payoff.
Most noir films end with a showdown or standoff; this usually represents the penultimate moment in a prisoner's dilemma, where the players hang on the edge of a move, undecided as to whether to cooperate or engage in an act of defection which will certainly end the game and will probably result in a death, their own or someone else's. Confrontation occurs in an empty warehouse or abandoned pier; players slide satchels or guns across the floor to one another; the gun represents the card being played, cooperation or defection; the satchel is the payoff that is being contested.
"Family" ties in the Godfather movies indicate the structure that is built through long cooperation in a morally barren universe; Tit for Tat reigns, and acts of defection are bloodily punished as soon as they occur. An assassination attempt is made on Don Corleone only when, due to his age and peacefulness, the future seems to have no shadow; but the assassins are mistaken, because it is ultimately his son Michael who will restore the length of the shadow. The defection is punished in the restaurant where the "Turk" and his police guard lie dead in the marinara sauce. Later, when there has been more defection and bloodshed, Don Corleone tells Michael how he will know the defector within his family: it will be the man who approaches him to arrange a peace meeting, a false act of cooperation. As the defector is taken off to his death, he apologizes: "Tell Michael it was only business." The doors that close in Kay's face at the end of the first and second movie represent Michael's defection from her.
In The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, the defection is played out over the gold: if we all work together as partners to dig the gold, we will all benefit equally. But perhaps one of my partners is planning to kill the rest of us and keep everything. So perhaps I should kill them first, and keep everything myself? Bogart begins to crack up under the strain of the dilemma: "Nobody ever put anything over on Fred C. Dobbs..." An intruder in the camp places himself squarely and intentionally in play, telling the others that, now that he knows the location of their stake, they must either kill him or make him a partner. (My cousin, Artie, the personal injury attorney, accurately describes this scene as a pretty fair representation of the process by which law firms decide whether or not to make new partners.)
Almost every Humphrey Bogart movie is about a prisoner's dilemma. In The Maltese Falcon, Sam Spade and his partner, Spade and his client, Spade and the band of criminals seeking the falcon, all play out an iterated game. Transient acts of cooperation are repeatedly followed by betrayals such as the mickey finn, the stabbing of the captain, and the climactic selection of a "fall guy" for the police.
Every film detective plays a prisoner's dilemma with his client: is she who she says she is? Is she crazy? Is she the murderer? Will she love me? Pay me? Kill me?
Almost every Hitchcock film is about a prisoner's dilemma; the object of everyone's strivings, which Hitchcock called the "Macguffin", is the payoff. Cary Grant showing up in the wheatfield in North by Northwest is an act of cooperation. The plane "dusting crops where there ain't no crops" is a defection. The two men agreeing to exchange murders in Strangers on a Train: cooperation. But one sneaks in to warn the other's intended victim, not to kill him: defection.
Gene Hackman in Night Moves watches the payoff, a monstrous pre-Columbian statue that had been hidden underwater, rise from the sea: it represents the sucker's payoff. Everyone he has tried to protect is dead, he is mortally wounded, and the movie ends with his unpiloted boat eternally circling the risen monster.
Scores of movies, from Hitchcock's Saboteur to this year's Johnny Mnemonic, have a scene where the hero and villain fight on a roof, hang from a bridge, the Statue of Liberty, etc. The villain at some point is hanging off the roof, or both are. There is an opportunity to cooperate, so that both survive; but the imperilled villain, a true scorpion, is more interested in pulling the hero off, so that both die, than in surviving himself.
Dark dramas are most often about the prisoner's dilemma. This was true long before the movies existed: most Shakespeare tragedies are also about the game, for example, Lear, whose daughter Cordelia cooperates while the others defect.

A mobile phone giant has completed a £1.04 billion takeover of one of Bracknell's biggest employers.
Vodafone completed a buy-out of Cable & Wireless Worldwide (CWW), which has offices in the Western Industrial Area.
Newbury-based Vodafone has acquired its fellow telecoms supplier in order to strengthen the business and to reduce network costs.
The Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce has cautiously welcomed the move but urged Vodafone to consider the impact on staff should any redundancies arise from the buyout.
A spokeswoman said: "We would hope that the workforce of the two companies throughout the Thames Valley is strengthened and not weakened or diminished.
John Barton, chairman of CWW, said: "Cable & Wireless Worldwide has outlined a strategy to refocus the business on achieving sustainable cash generation and returns from capital invested.
"However, the offer from Vodafone announced today will enable shareholders to crystallise a value, in cash, that represents a significant premium to recent trading levels and avoid exposure to the risks inevitably presented by executing a medium-term improvement strategy.
Vittorio Colao, chief executive of Vodafone Group, said: "We are pleased to reach agreement with the board of Cable & Wireless Worldwide, who unanimously recommend our offer. The acquisition of Cable & Wireless Worldwide creates a leading integrated player in the enterprise segment of the UK communications market and brings attractive cost savings to our UK and international operations.
CWW has been affected by the squeeze on Government spending and the weak economy, leading it to report heavy losses for the six months to September 30.

Guests who have recently returned from the Dreams Vacation Resort have said that Thomas Cook should be ashamed with the conditions in the hotel and take appropriate action.
The reviews on TripAdvisor suggest that poor management is also a problem at the hotel.
The food served was described as "poor" and alleged to have been served undercooked on many occasions.
If food is not cooked or reheated insufficiently it can cause diarrhoea, sickness, stomach cramps, fever and this in turn can lead to dehydration. It is therefore vitally important that food is served piping hot, that it is stored at a sufficiently high temperature and that staff members are fully trained in food handling and hygiene.
Tracy Stansfield, an experienced solicitor at Your Holiday Claims said: "The reviews appear to suggest that something has gone very badly wrong at this hotel.

Sweat Science
Fitness myths, training truths, and other surprising discoveries from the science of exercise
Tag: resistance
The incredible unaging triathlete
THANK YOU FOR VISITING SWEATSCIENCE.COM!
As of September 2017, new Sweat Science columns are being published at www.outsideonline.com/sweatscience. Check out my bestselling new book on the science of endurance, ENDURE: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance, published in February 2018 with a foreword by Malcolm Gladwell.
- Alex Hutchinson (@sweatscience)
Here's a pretty graphic illustration, from a recent paper by Dr. Vonda Wright and her colleagues (hat tip to Laura McIntyre for the forward), of the importance of lifelong physical activity:
It's from a new study freely available at The Physician and Sportsmedicine that took detailed measurements of 40 masters athletes between the ages of 40 and 81, and found a surprising lack of age-related muscle loss:
This study contradicts the common observation that muscle mass and strength decline as a function of aging alone. Instead, these declines may signal the effect of chronic disuse rather than muscle aging.
Training one limb to strengthen the other
An interesting figure from a new Australian study in the European Journal of Applied Physiology:
The subjects in the study did eight weeks of heavy weight training — using only one leg (their dominant one). As you can see, they dramatically increased strength in both legs. This effect is well known, but I still think it's pretty cool! The goal of this particular study was to try to figure exactly how this happens, using magnetic pulses to the brain to help assess the role of the nervous system. They did indeed find a significant reduction in "corticospinal inhibition" in both legs, suggesting that the training improves the transmission of the signal from the brain to the muscle, and this improvement applies to both sides of the body.
The point? Well, as the researchers note, it's something to bear in mind if you have an injury in one leg or one arm. You might be able to keep the injured limb strong without even exercising it. Of course, you have to balance that against the risk of creating physical imbalances. I guess the ideal would be to train enough to increase strength without actually putting on muscle. As the researchers conclude, clinical trials of this approach are needed.
More data on cryotherapy
Another study on whole-body cryotherapy (or "cryosaunas," or whatever you want to call them), from the same group at the French National Institute of Sport that published a similar study last summer. The full text is freely available online, along with a press release.
The study took nine well-trained runners, and had them perform three "hilly" treadmill runs, each time with a different recovery routine:
Cryotherapy (3 minutes at -110 C), taken immediately, 24 hours, and 48 hours after the run;
Far infrared therapy, also taken at the same three intervals;
Nothing ("passive").
The basic results, according to the paper: cryotherapy "accelerates recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage to a greater extent than far infrared or passive modalities." That's based on better results for perceived pain and maximal voluntary muscle contraction. Here's the muscle data:
So yeah, one hour after the run, the cryotherapy allowed the runners to clench a little harder, and those results appeared to more or less persist for a couple of days. But these aren't placebo-proof, since the runners weren't blinded to the modality. What about a more placebo-proof measure of recovery? Well, not so good. Creatine kinase levels in the blood weren't improved. In fact, if you look at the data and squint a bit, you might conclude that far infrared is the best choice! Uh oh.
Seriously, this study is a good start, but cryotherapy still has a ways to go. I would have liked to see it compared to conventional ice-bath therapy (which itself seems to produce more ambiguous results than you'd expect when it's tested). Because surely we're hoping that this therapy is actually an improvement on the current standard-of-care (which is not far infrared), rather than just a way to save seven minutes after a game or workout.
was the best recovery modality to hasten recovery from EIMD by limiting the torque loss and subjective sensations of pain
Cardio vs weights for visceral and liver fat
A new study in the American Journal of Physiology revisits a very familiar topic — cardio versus weights — to determine which is better for reducing dangerous visceral and liver fat. A total of 155 subjects completed one of three eight-month training programs:
Aerobic (AT): ~12 miles per week at 75% VO2max;
Resistance(RT): 3 days a week, 8 exercises, 3 sets of 8-12;
Aerobic/resistance (AT/RT): both the above programs combined.
At the end of the eight months, they used some pretty sophisticated tools to measure the outcomes, including CT scans to measure levels of visceral and liver fat. Here are some of the key outcomes:
And here's how the researchers sum up the findings:
First, a resistance training program–even a very substantial one–did not significantly reduce body mass, visceral fat, liver fat or ALT liver enzyme levels. RT also did not reduce total abdominal fat, nor did it improve fasting insulin resistance. Second, in contrast to RT, a typical vigorous AT program resulted in significant reductions in visceral fat, liver fat and abdominal subcutaneous fat, and also led to improvements in circulating ALT and HOMA (fasting insulin resistance).
The results aren't too surprising: as the researchers note, this particular aerobic training program likely burned about 67% more calories than the resistance program. It does seem a bit strange to me that adding resistance training to the aerobic training seems to make things worse rather than better — but the overall analysis in the paper says that AT and AT/RT are statistically indistinguishable. In other words, the weights add nothing. Don't get me wrong: weights are useful for a lot of things, and this study was only testing a few specific outcomes. But on those outcomes — and they're very important ones, particularly if you're overweight — cardio trumps weights.
Post-exercise refuelling: all at once, or spread out?
We've all heard about the post-exercise "window" for refuelling to maximize recovery and adaption: you need to take in carbs and protein with 0.5-2 hours. But does the timing really matter for building muscle? A new study from Stuart Phillips' group at McMaster University compared two tactics for post-workout protein intake. Once group took 25 grams of whey protein immediately after a set of leg-extension exercises; the other group received the same 25 grams of whey protein in 10 2.5-gram doses every 20 minutes for 200 minutes. They measured "muscle protein synthesis" — basically a very accurate way of assessing how well you're stimulating muscle growth after a single bout rather than having to run the experiment for several months to actually see muscle growth — and found that it was much higher in the group that took their protein all at once. After six hours, protein synthesis was elevated by 193% in the single-shot group and just 121% in the prolonged group.
The question this study was seeking to answer actually relates to the difference between whey protein (which is absorbed quickly) and casein (which is absorbed more slowly: the 2.5 grams of whey every 20 minutes was chosen to mimic the absorption pattern of casein). The problem is that if you compare two different proteins in a study, then you're changing a bunch of different factors at once — the absorption timing, but also factors like the amount of leucine, a branched-chain amino acid thought to be key for muscle growth. Since both groups received 25 grams of whey (and thus identical amounts of leucine), this shows that absorption rate is key.
Practical takeaway: this was a muscle protein synthesis study, not a training study, so you have take the results cautiously. But it does suggest that if you're trying to build muscle, taking in a big dose (i.e. 25 grams) of protein as soon as possible is preferable to snacking over the course of a few hours. It also confirms previous findings suggesting that whey (found in dairy products) has some advantages over other protein sources.

February 8, 2021 February 8, 2021 FeaturedArticle issue thirteen textiles wearable art
Wrapped up in a fairy tale: Jessie M. King and the production of wearable designs
Although Scottish artist, designer and teacher Jessie M. King (1875-1949) is probably most celebrated for her delicate and often whimsical illustrative work, this short article will focus on her clothing designs and dissemination of knowledge via her how-to-publication How Cinderella went to the Ball (1924).
Figure 1: Photograph of E.A Taylor, Jessie M. King and E.A Taylor's sister at the studio in Kirkcudbright, Scotland c.1936. Image courtesy of National Galleries of Scotland, Print Room (PGP 96.26).
The daughter of Church of Scotland minister, Revd James Waters King, Jessie Marion King was born on the 20 March 1875 at the manse, New Kilpatrick, Dunbartonshire. From 1892 until 1899 she attended The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) when the school, under the Directorship of Fra Newbery, was becoming recognised internationally for the 'Glasgow Style'. This was an exciting time to attend GSA which boasted a cohort of fine artists and designers. King's fellow students included Annie French, Ann Macbeth, Katherine Cameron, Frances and Margaret Macdonald and King's best friend Helen Paxton Brown. During her studies she met furniture designer, artist and her future husband E.A Taylor whom she married after a ten year engagement in 1908. She stayed on at GSA from 1899 until 1907 she taught book design and illustration.
The researcher Jude Burkhauser notes that from the early 1900s King began to experiment with 'a wax resistant technique then new to Britain' know as batik. The technique, which originated from Indonesia, first began to gain popularity in the UK around the turn of the nineteenth century and Burkhauser states that King was exposed to the technique via the American artist Frank Zimmerer when she was in Paris.
A review of How Cinderella Was Able to Go to the Ball in 1924 by The Edinburgh Evening News commented that:
The term crops up occasionally in fashion notes, but usually with that vague allusiveness that assumes that everybody knows all there is to be known about it. But everybody does not know, and that is why 'How Cinderella went to the Ball' …..must be welcomed.
It is evident from the article that the term 'batik' was not a common phrase, or widely known technique in Scotland in 1920s. But with King's help this would change. Batik, in its simplest definition, is a dye resistant technique using wax to create a pattern and the artist, designer and mentor King championed the technique throughout her life via her clothes and designing and printing of soft furnishings. For example, The University of Glasgow Special Collections currently holds a photograph (Photo A56/87) of a batik curtain designed by King which depicts her whimsical and magical mix of fairy like creatures and animals frolicking in a forest.
Figure 2: Portrait of Jessie M King wearing scarf of her own design, c 1915-1920, Special Collections, The University of Glasgow (Photo A56/468). https://universityofglasgowlibrary.wordpress.com/2015/06/17/jessie-m-king-e-a-taylor-photo-collection/
By the 1920s, King was a very experienced artist, teacher and impressive self-promoter via her carefully styled outfits. She was the perfect walking billboard to promote the technique, depicting it on an array of brightly coloured accessories, tunics and dresses. Throughout her life King made a statement about her art via herself styled and hand-crafted pieces of clothing which she designed, embroidered or printed. In many of her existing portraits, which span over her lifetime, she is often depicted wearing clothing of her own design (Fig.2).
Figure 3: Batik tunic design from How Cinderella Was Able to Go to the Ball, 1924taken from https://d.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/publication/how-cinderella-was-able-to-go-to-ball#lessThumbs
How Cinderella Was Able to Go to the Ball was a practical step-by-step guide for anyone desiring to learn the process of batik. Apart from depicting various garments via black-and-white photographs of opera cloaks, lampshades and colourful designs for tunics (Fig.3) and dresses, King helpfully illustrated the equipment required to undertake the process.
Figure 4: 'Requirements for Success in Batik' from How Cinderella Was Able to Go to the Ball, 1924taken from https://d.lib.rochester.edu/cinderella/image/requirements-for-success-in-batik
With hand illustrations, she lists the 'requirements for success in batik' including beeswax, paraffin stove, small pan, pins, wax tape, brushes, 'daily news', a can of petrol and 'patience, rubber gloves and a sense of design.' The paraffin stove, bowl of beeswax and brushes can all be seen in the photograph of King and E.A Taylor in her Kirkcudbright Studio c.1936 (Fig.1) which is part of the National Galleries of Scotland, Print Room collection.
Figure 5: 'Cinderella goes to the bees' from How Cinderella Was Able to Go to the Ball, 1924taken from https://d.lib.rochester.edu/cinderella/image/cinderella-goes-to-the-bees-for-beeswax-and-to-the-garden-for-onions
The designs, photographs and instructions are beautifully and skilfully punctuated with King's imaginative fairy tale depictions of Cinderella at various stages of the batik process to create her ball outfit (Fig.5). By embedding the instructions in a story-like narrative, King created an accessible form of knowledge exchange and added a sense of fun to the learning process. This is apparent from book reviews of the text from the period. Remarking on the 'ease' and sense of creative freedom of the medium the Bystander remarked that:
What a waste of Batikless years! Ah to be an art student once again and let your colour run into smart spots, not because it was born that way but because you mean it! To-morrow I intend to start in with the beeswax, the dyes, etc. and hope for the best with regard to the patience and the sense of design.
In conclusion, this short article has only touched upon King's wearable art and her love for batik. However, it shows that King used the technique to create her own distinctive, self-fashioned wearable art and through her publications she created an accessible format to transmit and share her knowledge of the skill.

Eraserhead is a silent film starring Harold Lloyd as Klaus Nomi. It was the student film debut of popular talk show host, David Lynch. The surreal film was an instant hit with the third feature drive-in crowd, with a 20% retention rate.
Lonely East Berlin Boy, Klaus Nomi has no friends. He spends his time redecorating the inside of his mother's range. Since she only serves him Beans and Franks, his fortress is never disturbed. As his pre-teen iron curtain angst develops into a need for speed, he starts racing. The family is supported only by the mother's job as a anesthetist at a backroom sexual reassignment chop shop. With the price of Beans and Franks, along with the occasional bag of Gummi Bears, she is barely able to afford a model race car.
Fortunately Klaus has a sharp pencil and an active imagination. His mind, however races like his toys. As his race designs evolve in his head faster than he can committ them to paper, he becomes addicted to chubby pink pet erasers.
His mother, unable to stand the rubber dust, persuades him to try chalks and slates. "Bigger erasers!", she says. With the switch she begins to wish the chalk dust was more like the rubber dust.
On bring your daughter to work day, mother plans to bring Santra, who up 'til now was not important enough to mention. At the last minute, sister Santra convinces Klaus to go in her stead, because something suddenly came up. Klaus agrees and goes to work with his mom.
Without spoiling a major plot twist, a good time was not had by all, and Klaus was soon nicknamed eraserhead. Which accounts for his ability to hit high C.
Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in a noisy remake, with the stub titled, Eraser. His nickname still coming from his stub down in his lonely place. This time instead of an East Berlin punque, he is a CIA Operative that does a lot of loud stuff, making this perfect for the hearing audience, ignored by the original. Zombie Hellen Keller, originally hated the idea of the remake, but after a private screening, she took out full page ads proclaiming "Arnold is my Klaus'.
The Klaus Nomi story, Eraserhead, was reworked into a sitcom aired on MTV as Beevis & Butthead, Kick the Crap out of some Foreigner and lasted for 15 seasons, unlike music videos.
Casey Kasem starred in a XM Satellite Night at the Movies version of the film aired jointly on XM Sirrius Satellite Radio. In this version, Klaus had the crap beat out of him by Howard Stern.

Michael B. Jordan's star has catapulted into stardom in a very quick way as he has now established himself as one of the hottest and talented young actors in the industry. From television roles in some of the most critically acclaimed series such as The Wire and Friday Night Lights to a starring role in one of the most iconic sports films franchises in Creed, Michael B. Jordan has approached his entire career with nothing but extreme dedication and professionalism. We can only assume it won't be long before he tops Hollywood's A-list, so before he gets there, check out 10 things you didn't know about Michael B. Jordan!
10. Missed Roles
Without a doubt, Michael B. Jordan has had a few major roles already in his career, but he came very close to adding two more to his resume. In 2014, he was considered for the role of Harry Osborn for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 but lost out to Dane DeHaan, and that same year he was up for the role of Sam Wilson/Falcon for Captain America: The Winter Soldier which of course went to Anthony Mackie.

He has already made quite the impression on the industry which has landed him on many "Top" lists for various publications. Nylon Magazine named him one of the "55 Faces of the Future," and in 2013 he was on various "Entertainers on the Rise" and "Top 10 Actors to Watch" lists. He has also been featured on The Root's list of "The 100 Most Important Black Influences Between the Ages of 25-45," and was on Time Magazine's "Top 30 People Under 30 Changing the World."

8. Getting His Start
Michael B. Jordan began acting back in 1999, making his first on-screen appearances in The Sopranos and The Cosby Show. It didn't take long for him to then land a minor role on The Wire which then launched his career.
7. Hobbies
To give him a rounded upbringing, his parents, specifically his mother, encouraged him to pursue many different hobbies which means he can now tap-dance really well. He also recently revealed that one of his favorite things to do in his spare time is to collect graphic novels and admits he "obsesses" over Japanese anime. He is also developing several animated films of his own.

6. Fruitvale Station
Michael B. Jordan really turned the heads of many in Hollywood after he took on the role of Oscar Grant in Fruitvale Station, a film based on Grant's real-life killing after being shot by Oakland police. Jordan gave the role everything he had which including spending a lot of time with Grant's family in the Bay Area in order to properly portray Grant.

5. Hairy Situation
He is a very well put together guy who takes pride in a well kept appearance, but in a hilarious interview with Conan O'Brien, he admitted he can't grow a full beard no matter how hard he tries. He says it just comes in very patchy and even offered to patent Conan's million dollar idea of "Spray-On-Stubble."

4. What's In A Name?
Needless to say, Michael B. Jordan has been struggling his whole life with sharing a name with the NBA's most celebrated player, and after beginning his career as Michael Jordan just decided to add the B. to try to stop the confusion. Incidentally his middle name Bakari, is Swahili for "noble promise," and his parents in no way named him after NBA legend Michael Jordan, he is named after his father, Michael A. Jordan. He has stated that the name actually motivates him more to create his own legacy. "I always wanted my name to mean something based upon the work that I put in. It wouldn't be just a comparison to that guy, I would have my own legacy."

3. His Philosophy
It is safe to say no one will ever accuse Michael B. Jordan of being a sell-out in the industry. He got quite candid in a recent interview with GQ when asked about his career. "I'm not chasing money, I'm not chasing fame. I'm out here in my own time doing things that matter to me, and I feel like would matter to people. That's honestly it. I want to do roles that f–king people think about."

2. Idol
His favorite actress is Meryl Streep. "Meryl Streep does it for me," Jordan said when asked who he admires in Hollywood. "She makes it look so easy that it's like, is she trying right now? It's so effortless it's ridiculous."

1. Dedication
Being cast in lead role of Adonis Creed for the Rocky spin-off Creed, co-starring alongside Sylvester Stallone, Jordan gave his absolute all to the role. He went on one year of extremely rigorous training and a very strict low-fat diet. He worked out two-to-three times a day for six days a week and would eat every two and a half hours. He also dedicated himself to learning to box and refused to use a body double. "That was him taking real punches," director Ryan Coogler stated. "He was routinely bloodied, bruised and dizzied." "He's the kind of actor who will do anything to find the truest part of a scene," his co-star added.

The integration litmus test
Success for some means failure for others
The presentation in the media of the outstanding success stories of refugees in certain professions or in their studies misses the mark, in the opinion of Syrian author Housamedden Darwish. He believes that life after flight and integration into a new society should not be represented as some kind of test
Accounts of individual refugees' particularly exceptional achievements in integration are receiving a great deal of social and media attention in certain host countries. Such success stories are being spread not only by mainstream media outlets in the respective countries, but also by those operated by refugees themselves or media dedicated to the themes of flight and migration.
Some of the articles tell of extraordinary professional or academic achievements. They highlight excellent exam results or certificates with which refugees surpassed their colleagues or fellow students. Others recognise cases where refugees learned German particularly quickly, or completed a course of training with better results than (nearly) all the other participants or trainees. And then there are the accounts of refugees being financially supported by institutions abroad, or honoured in other ways for their exceptional talents or achievements.
Although all these stories are presumably told with the intention of fostering a positive image of refugees and pointing out successful cases of integration, they are accompanied by problematic implications.
What makes a "successful refugee"?
In the following, I would like to discuss the two most important aspects involved: first, what kind of image is being spread here of the "successful refugee"? And second, these stories tend to gloss over the deeper reasons that underlie the success or failure of social and professional integration.
Objective circumstances make for an unlevel playing field: it makes a serious difference whether a person receives only one year of subsidiary protection without an entitlement to family reunification, or whether they are granted a three-year right of residence and can live under one roof with other members of their family
The first problematic implication is reflected in the frequent presentation of outstanding individual accomplishments as being based solely on the exceptional talent and capabilities of the protagonists. Such portrayals can trigger frustration for "normal" refugees: the feeling of not being good enough and having no realistic chance of successful integration into the new society.
"Normal" or "average" people are, however, in the majority in every society and community. There is no reason why this truism should not also apply to refugees. Many of these success stories thus lead to greater frustration among refugees rather than encouraging and motivating them to follow the example of these ostensible role models.
Therefore, we should carefully consider the following question: are special abilities and exceptional talents really necessary for success in the host society?
Objective circumstances are vitally important
What is often concealed within the context of these success stories is the importance of "objective" circumstances and factors that have little to do with the individual's determination, skill and talent, and more to do with the host society and new environment the refugees find themselves in.
A scholarship or other form of individual assistance is always an exceptional case. Apart from this, refugees' starting conditions differ greatly regarding for example their housing situation, the opportunities they have to learn German, or their residence status. It makes a serious difference whether a person receives only one year of subsidiary protection without an entitlement to family reunification, or whether they are granted a three-year right of residence and can live under one roof with other members of their family.

DVD REVIEW: PINEAPPLE EXPRESS
SYNOPSIS: A new comedy from the creative genius of Judd Apatow (40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Talladega Nights) follows a pair of druggie losers as they reach the top of the hit-list when one witnesses a mob murder and drags his buddy into a crazy flight from mobsters bent on silencing both of them permanently. The film stars new sensation Seth Rogen (Knocked Up, Superbad, 40 Year Old Virgin) and James Franco (Spider-Man™ 1-3) and it co-stars Rosie Perez (Do The Right Thing) and Gary Cole (The Brady Bunch Movie). Movie is directed by David Gordon Green.
REVIEW: Pineapple Express seemed to me like it was going to be another movie about young men meddling with drugs and the goofy mishaps associated with their perils. Much to my dismay, this movie directed by David Gordon Green, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco was a quite witty, dare I say, thriller crime flick with a fun twist; albeit, a very large, almost far fetched twist. James Franco does a phenomenal job as a perpetually intoxicated drug dealer-a far reach from his villainous persona in Spiderman, but very effective nonetheless. Seth Rogen plays a role much like all the others he's played (Knocked up, Superbad…) but it proves effective since it seems to be his niche. Franco definitely steals the movie with funny, sometimes profound, random one-liners. The story follows a lazy young stoner, Dale Denton (Rogen), who witnesses a murder by a crooked cop and a powerful drug lord. He then seeks out his drug dealer, Saul Silver (Franco) in a manner connected to the title of the film and in turn both are forced on the most exhilarating adventure of their lives. Pineapple Express seems like a series of stories intertwined together to form a whole big picture. It is not necessarily about getting high, but the effects marijuana has on the guys and their ability to function wisely. At times, the movie was sort of an edge-of-your-seat thriller, while at others so far fetched that you remember you are watching a comedy. Pineapple Express is seriously a funny paradigm of emotions, events and ideas. This movie was funny, thrilling, and quite enjoyable.
