Hamiltons Gallery in London's Mayfair is the venue for a Helmut Newton exhibition. It is full of men in suits – expensive suits. They go with the territory – a bullish market. Confidence is high and it will soon be time for end-of-year bonuses. These are the dealers who are looking to invest and this is the place where art and commerce collide. For this rare collection of extremely limited edition prints (this picture is an edition of three), prices start at $275 000 (£130 000).
It's taken a decade for the UK market to catch up with photographic print prices in the US and mainland Europe. Culturally, we can be slow adopters here – despite all the trumpeting of new BritArt and Cool Britannia. The notion that photographs should be treated as art, and prints/editions priced accordingly, has met with resistance.
In part this may be due to some of our premier art institutions and their attitude to photography – for instance, it took the Tate until 2003 to stage its first ever show devoted entirely to photography, Cruel & Tender. Until then it had concentrated on showing photographs by people who were already acknowledged 'artists'. Somehow, it would appear that photographers were not worthy.
Now, at last, photography is being taken seriously as an art form. Ironic really, given how in the same decade we have seen a huge tidal wave of change sweep over commercial and amateur photography – thanks to the impact of digital technology.
The much talked about 'democratisation' of image-making has led to an increase in the number of images being generated, more choice for editors and, consequently, a drop in prices in the day-to-day image marketplace. Microsites supplied by amateur image-makers have undercut the professional market. Remember those covert digital pictures of scenes in Abu Ghraib, or the phone-camera pictures taken by 7/7 survivors in London? These are impossible to imagine in a pre-digital environment.
In cyberspace the possibilities seem endless. For image users, downloading could not be easier. Sites such as Flickr.com provide an amazing resource, freely shared, that undoubtedly inspires creatives everywhere in their endless search for new ideas.
On-line archives have never been so accessible. Amazing pieces of history are available at the touch of a button rather than endless searching through fusty and dusty filing cabinets.
News desks too have been transformed by digital imagery – transmission times have fallen, deadlines have tightened and expectations of new and ever-changing content have never been higher.
So where does this leave photographers trying to launch a career, get commissions, or sell their work? The overcrowded marketplace means that day rates are still low. Entry level rates are even lower. It's a buyers' market. Photographers have to work that much harder to attract attention – and all for the same old day rates. Photobooks and self-published magazines are now the promotional vehicles of choice for the ambitious image-maker.
Photo festivals are also flourishing. Ask anyone who went to this year's PhotoLondon – plenty of galleries and agencies from across Europe were peddling their photographers' wares with great confidence. Were they putting a brave face on it, or is this buoyancy based on research and real market intelligence?
As for the future, who knows? Traditional photographic materials, processing and printing will become even more expensive and obscure. Whether conventional or digitally generated, the power of photography seems unlikely to be diminished. That includes its use in newspapers to show us current affairs and contemporary culture; in documentary form to record and reveal crucial issues of our time; in the corporate arena to reassure shareholders and investors that all is well; in fashion and advertising to promote brands and sell products; and in galleries, collections and museums to command high prices. Are they good value or a sound investment? Only time will tell.

AP PHOTOS: Spain's race against the virus in photographs
By ARITZ PARRA
April 17, 2020 GMT
https://apnews.com/article/92487978ad4f969bab304c47088d1a48
MADRID (AP) — Spain was expecting a bright, hopeful spring of blossoms, soccer games and music festivals. The eastern city of Valencia planned to burn huge satirical sculptures for its annual Fallas celebration. As days stretched longer, cafés and bars served the first outdoor vermouth of the season.
After years of sacrifices and austerity, the country had turned a page on the worst of the past decade's economic crisis. Even politically, there was certain room for optimism after four general elections in as many years. Some normalcy had settled on the rumbling conflict over Catalan separatism, and a new governing coalition was taking its hesitant first steps, hoping to last longer than its short-lived predecessors.
Then the coronavirus arrived in all its lethal force and raced across the country.
Spring was immediately canceled and so were the Fallas festivities and the half-religious, half-pagan street processions that are ubiquitous at Easter. Now, after a month on lockdown and nearly 20,000 confirmed deaths, the country hopes the worst is over, at least medically speaking.
But reactivating the economy and avoiding political and financial chaos will bring months or years of hardship.
In covering these struggles, a team of Associated Press photographers sought to capture the anguish and despair among Spaniards, but also their hope and humanity. The team was composed of Emilio Morenatti, Joan Mateu, Manu Fernández, Bernat Armangue, Santi Palacios, Felipe Dana, Álvaro Barrientos and Paul White.
They visited field clinics and overburdened hospitals; shadowed doctors and nurses checking on lonely seniors; shared grief while families buried loved ones they could not say goodbye to; and fought obstruction by documenting the rows of coffins that authorities at all levels wanted to keep out of the public eye.
There had been warnings about the virus. Few listened and those who did were not taken seriously. Even when the epicenter of the pandemic jumped from China to Italy, few thought that Spain could become the next hot spot.
Full Coverage: Photography
Then came a foreigner on the island of Mallorca who tested positive. Days later, a hotel in the Canary Islands — the sunny winter paradise of northern Europeans — had to be quarantined. A Madrid nursing home reported unusual cases of pneumonia. The Valencia soccer team and its fans traveled to Milan on Feb. 19, where they crammed into a stadium at the heart of Europe's outbreak.
Soon it was too late. The virus, officials later learned, had been on the move for days, spreading freely while thousands gathered for a far-right political rally, tens of thousands for women's rights demonstrations and many more for sporting events, theater performances and concerts.
Spain went into lockdown when the number of infections drew close to 6,000 and deaths hit 136. As the arc of contagion bent into the sharpest curve seen anywhere until then, authorities imposed what they labeled an official "hibernation," halting all but essential economic activity for two weeks.
Now Spain has over 180,000 confirmed infections and a death toll that is surpassed only by the U.S. and Italy. But because testing has been limited and the reporting of deaths patchy, official statistics cannot capture the full picture.
As elsewhere, the virus has brought out the best and the worst in Spaniards. For every rush to stockpile toilet paper and beans, there have been many more people who volunteered to deliver medicine and food to those at home and at high risk, such as the elderly or the homeless.
Every evening, people cheer from their windows for nurses and doctors who, without proper protective equipment, became ill at higher rates than their peers abroad. Those same windows became as important for socializing as the internet and video calls. While catching a breath of fresh air, people shared songs or dances and rediscovered their neighbors.
The loss of loved ones has been felt acutely in nursing homes and in rural communities already fighting not to disappear. The death notices in local newspapers replaced ads that only five weeks ago urged readers to buy a house, a car or insurance.
Social distancing has been awkward for Spaniards, who routinely greet each other with kisses on the cheeks, even in business meetings. The noise of lives being lived at fast speed has been replaced by silence — a quietness often broken only by the wailing of sirens.
The road ahead will be punishing. The International Monetary Fund says the country's economy will be among the hardest hit. Unemployment will shoot up again. Queues will return to employment offices and soup kitchens. And the most vulnerable — migrants, women, children, the elderly and disabled — will pay the highest price.
The cameras will be as necessary then as now.

With so many business intelligence and visual analytics tools on the market, organisations are finding it difficult to choose the optimal platform for their business operations. Chances are you have already heard of Microsoft's self-service analytics and dashboarding tool, Power BI.
Power BI Pro is included in the Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise E5 licence. If your business makes use of the enterprise licence and Office 365 tools, your business has already access to a powerful BI and visual analytics tool.
Power BI integrates easily across the Office 365 board – for example, into project management and collaboration platforms like Microsoft Teams. It means your teams do not require to purchase and install third-party analytics tools.
If your business is migrating workloads to Microsoft Azure, leverage this transition further and gain business intelligence functionality with Power BI. Power BI's integration with the Azure cloud platform provides some very useful value-adds that other tools might not deliver.
Organisations have access to AI and computer learning via Microsoft Azure, live updates and data ingestion capabilities using Azure Stream Analytics, and direct query to Azure-based resources (e.g., Azure SQL Server or Analysis Services). Thanks to Power BI's link to Azure, data sharing is fast and simple.
A major benefit for Power BI users is the price point. SMEs, lower-tier and mid-market organisations can also subscribe to Power BI Pro – not just the enterprise-level players. While the Power BI desktop app is free for anyone to use, the Pro version is affordable at only $9.99 per user, which is much lower than most third-party alternatives.
Finally, a monthly release cycle with regular updates, as opposed to typical biannually updates, makes Power BI a great contender for an up-to-date analytics solution that does not break the budget, and constantly improves its functionality to meet business expectations.

Baking Checklist
Posted on November 2 2011
Recipe #12: Oatmeal-chocolate-walnut cookies
Heading into this baking session I was very excited for a couple reasons. First of all, this was the first real classic cookie recipe, with a few Tartine-esque surprises of course, (molasses in oatmeal-chocolate cookies!) that I'd be making. More importantly, my excitement stemmed from the fact that I was baking something for someone, but it was a mystery as to who that person was! Riveting baking, friends! Making anything for someone other than yourself always means you have to be on the top of your game – no egg shells up in the mix and no using something after it's been on the floor. It's just common courtesy. So, it was a bad idea for me to listen to Mindy Kaling on NPR's 'Morning Edition' because that meant I was totally distracted and laughing when I should have been reading things more carefully.
More chopping chocolate! We know by now what a fan of this process I am, as evidenced here.
The dry ingredients patiently waiting to be incorporated.
At this point, when I started mixing those wet ingredients, that's when I got distracted. Mindy Kaling was probably telling Renee Montagne about her unique look as a child as she reflects, "I can't believe how little effort my parents put into making me seem like an appealing little girl." This resonated with me, and I started thinking back on how I convinced my parents to let me get my ears pierced when I was six so people would stop mistaking me for a boy. (Sadly, this didn't work. The timing was unfortunate for me because there was a sudden influx of boys getting their ears pierced around that time! Geesh!) There I was, thinking about my short boy-haircut and my pierced ears, and BOOM! I'm mistaking tablespoons for teaspoons! What a rookie mistake! After a quick glance at my Baker's Helper chart, (because who remembers how many teaspoons are in a tablespoon?) I had to figure out how to remove two teaspoons from the butter. I hadn't mixed it together yet, so it wasn't too difficult.
Everything mixed together, and it looked and tasted like cookie dough, so I don't think my molasses mistake was detrimental.
A little bowl of water helping me smash down the cookies, and saving me from sticky fingers.
The directions suggest using an ice cream scoop to make piles of 3 1/2 oz. cookies. I eyeballed it, impressed with my probable accuracy, and filled the tray with cookies. They turned out pretty small and quite thin, nothing super special. I have no idea why I didn't get the scale out in the first place, but I decided that was now a necessary direction because I was on track to have a yield over double the amount of cookies they say you'll end up with. The cookies weren't terrible, but they weren't showstoppers. Since I was sending this to someone, I wanting amazing cookies. After making the mistake with the molasses, I was worried that I had messed up other measurements, which may explain why I had so much cookie dough! I needed to figure this out, like amateur detective Jessica Fletcher would, and so I busted out the scale. (A Murder, She Wrote reference felt right – she plays detective and writes about it, right? I don't really remember because I would always leave the room if it was on.)
Turns out, the size of the cookies was off. I was shocked that I'd eyeballed such an inaccurate amount! No, I really wasn't shocked. My initial cookie portions was more of a shot-in-the-dark guess than a calculated estimation at what three and a half ounces of cookie dough looks like. This was a huge pile of cookie dough on the scale – three times bigger than I'd baked in the first batch!
Ready for the oven.
The bigger cookies turned out perfectly! Brown around the edges, slightly soft and moist in the center. SO GOOD!
Three cookies roughly one-ounce equals one three and a half ounce cookie.
Needless to say, I taste-tested one of the large cookies that the winner of the giveaway will be receiving! I had to make sure it tasted amazing and that it wouldn't kill someone. They were delicious and I'm not dead, so these cookies are off to a special delivery!
P.S. Thought I'd share some proof. That's me (on the left, of course) with my boy-haircut and pierced ears. Yes, my sister's shirt is amazing. I designed my own XXL shirt from foraged leaves and finger paint.

I'm navigating my way through the amazing cookbook "Tartine" written by the geniuses behind the delicious San Francisco bakery. Now happily living in Michigan with my family, I miss the days when I could stand in line at the bakery in the morning, or grab a loaf of bread for dinner at a friend's house. Miles and miles removed, I sometimes even find myself dreaming of sweet fruit galletes or a simple brioche. Seeing how I wake up bummed, I'm bound and determined to make every single thing, page 1 to 214, but not necessarily in that order.

Guillermo del Toro does things his own way, takes his own risks and dreams his own dreams.Sometimes the result can be an all time great film like Pan's Labyrinth and sometimes it can be as clunky and enjoyable as Pacific Rim.Like all films set anytime in the future this too has those hologram like things which have replaced glowing screens.But in Pacific Rim they not rendered in a monochrome grey or blue but in three tone Red Green and Blue with its light emitting projectors clearly visible.The monsters that rise up from the sea are unapologetically ugly and rough and very honestly born inside a computer.This film achieves a unique tone, one that is kitschy and synthetic like a video game yet operatic in its storytelling.
First off I was amazed at how fluidly Mr del Toro has borrowed from Iron Man, the man in a metal suit with a glowing core is now encased in a gigantic robot that looks like, well a gigantic iron man.But instead of one there are two humans controlling this beast and the monsters instead of outer space come from within the earths core.That scientists understand so little about the earths core and what elements it consists of, lends it just as much plausibility to the premise as aliens from outer space.This film has fun with the science fiction genre as a whole, nodding at landmark films like Blade Runner, Aliens and Jaws while catering to a whole new generation of sci-fi fans whose gaming consoles allow them to get in the middle of the action.It is this understanding of our increased ability to interact with our fantasy world that gives Pacific Rim its awesomeness.
While the films story is predictable, it wisely invests in its characters and gives us some gems like a JJ Abrams lookalike version of Charlie Day as a crazed, earnest and comic scientist or Ron Pearlman as the indefatigable dealer of the monster body parts.
Its leads Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba and Rinko Kikuchi have sensitively written parts.A complete lack of Hollywood big guns makes Pacific Rim a film whose real star is its director allowing him to create a genuinely entertaining film rather than a star vehicle like Oblivion.
Goya's Colossus which was used by the director for inspiration.
Pacific Rim is a solid genre film, an action packed sci-fi fantasy packed with a thumping soundtrack that does not hold back and tests all the state of art sound systems at modern theaters. The visual effects are raw and colorful and do not have a fixed theme and color scheme making them refreshing and boisterous. The special effects team literally gives us different horses for different courses making the competition this summer look a bit serious and uptight.At 131 minutes the length is not as stupidly arrogant as last weeks The Lone Ranger but a tighter editing would have enhanced its fun.Pacific Rim delivers unpretentious entertainment in a good old-fashioned way not shying away from making the valiant captain mouth lines like "We are canceling the apocalypse!". Roland Emmerich should definitely see this film.
#Do stay back for the end credits for some fun surprise!!

On our way to Soho, my friend Ryan insisted that I take a photograph of the monstrosity shown here. It is but one of many construction projects that are currently underway along the Bowery in lower Manhattan. They're not all so bad as this one, but the sum total of them will most certainly transform the area entirely, in one way or another Well, in one way AND lots of others.
This particular building's is almost redeemed by its setbacks, but no: If you look at the how it fronts on to the narrow side street, the setback starts so high, it does little to curtail the fact that this behemoth is clearly out of place amongst the surrounding buildings.
It seems that contemporary building projects rarely aspire to match the great buildings constructed in years past, perhaps heralding A Dark Age Ahead. All hand-wringing aside, it's buildings like these that I will skewer with glee here on UnBeige.

The Caveats of Applying Lean in Knowledge-Intensive Services with Hierarchy: Evidence from an Emergency Department
by Khoshnazar, Iman, M.S., Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, 2019, 70; 27665685
These days better performance of health systems is a serious concern and different methods have been proposed to overcome the performance challenges. Emergency departments (EDs) are one the most crowded part of the health systems, treating patients in a wide range of conditions. Various patient flow management approaches have been tested to enhance system output. However, visiting patients by a medical doctor (MD) in a short time, patients waiting time, and length of stay in the system are still great challenges. In the past few decades, healthcare systems and institutions have begun to employ operations management techniques within the EDs to enhance flows, better organize work, and improve productivity.
Globalization of the Toyota Production System has introduced modern manufacturing methods, which integrate waste reduction activities and quality into the production processes as they are performed. This combination of the management philosophy and activities, aiming to reduce waste and improve quality, is known as lean thinking. Moreover, these manufacturing and service improvement principles are being used in an increasing number of sectors including healthcare services.
In this thesis, after introducing lean principles and different aspects of its implementation in the industry, its application in healthcare was summarized. In the continue, applying pull strategy, the fourth principle of lean thinking, instead of push strategy in the Mary Washington emergency department, was tested. In the suggested strategy, instead of bringing in the patient by the triage nurse or physician when a bed is empty, the bottleneck resource, which is usually the treatment nurse in this ED, pulls a patient in when they are ready. It provides an opportunity to examine in detail how the implementation of lean thinking changes the patient flow and why the resulting outputs and outcomes were achieved.
Better performance of the system after the implementation of a pull strategy was expected. But the observations indicated that emergency departments are more complicated than that. The hierarchical structure of the hospital was the first barrier for achieving better performance. Physicians, having a higher rank in the hierarchical structure of healthcare, could not tolerate that treatment nurses be the decision makers. Therefore, they did not cooperate, and when a bed was empty, they wanted to use it as soon as possible regardless of treatment nurses' business. Usually, in these organizations, it is too difficult to change ways that physicians and nurses work among themselves. Therefore, instead of changing responsibilities that are effected by human behavior, altering system configuration was suggested.
Pooling two teams in the triage step with a close emergency severity index was suggested as the other solution for improving system quality and decreasing patient waiting time. Significant reduction in patients' average wait time to get a bed and length of stay after pooling two teams (team two and team three)was obtained.

Labor Department aims research funds at low-wage workers
Hazel Bradford
The U.S. Department of Labor's Women's Bureau is joining the effort to figure out how to increase access to retirement savings plans and how to make them more portable.
The Women's Bureau has awarded a total of $154,000 to three worker advocacy groups. The Brazilian Worker Center Inc. in Allston, Mass., will research developing a prototype mobile benefits platform aimed at predominantly low-wage domestic workers without benefits.
The Heartland Alliance for Human Needs and Human Rights in Chicago will conduct a needs assessment of the state's economically vulnerable workers who don't have access to plans at work, and identify barriers to participation in the Illinois Secure Choice Savings Program.
The Fair Work Center in Seattle will conduct a needs assessment among low-wage workers, employers and benefits providers to understand the challenges and barriers that low-wage workers face in saving for retirement.
Nearly 1 in 3 workers lacks access to a retirement savings plan, according to the DOL. For firms with fewer than 50 employees, the number is 1 in 2 and it is even higher for part-time workers.
The grants are part of a Labor Department effort to support innovative ways to increase retirement security, particularly for lower paid workers, said Women's Bureau Director Latifa Lyles.

Todd Akin Reportedly Rebounding in Missouri Senate Race
By Editor on September 25, 2012 No Comment
Republican senatorial candidate Todd Akin is reportedly rebounding in his election efforts following the controversy that arose last month when he expounded on his beliefs surrounding rape to a local television station.
Akin, who held a fundraiser with former presidential candidate Newt Gingrich today, continues to hit the campaign trail, and is finding significant support. On Tuesday, he is expected to meet with a group of influential pastors.
"I believe the state of the campaign is looking better and better," he said.
Tomorrow is the deadline for Akin to drop out of the race against his competitor Claire McCaskill, but he states that he is not backing down. Calls for Akin to withdraw came from across the country, including from Republicans, when he stated that he had been informed by medical professionals that a woman's body has the capability to prevent pregnancy in the event of a "legitimate rape," otherwise known as forcible rape.
"It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that's really rare," Akin told television station KTVI. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let's assume that maybe that didn't work or something: I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be of the rapist, and not attacking the child."
One of the most prominent figures that called for Akin's withdraw was Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Connie Mackey, president of Family Research Council's FRC Action, which has vocally supported Mitt Romney's bid for the White House, said that she was disappointed that Romney threw Akin under the bus.
"I don't understand why the long knives came out in the first place," she said.
However, Mackey also stated that she believed Akin's comments were "wrong, plain and simple."
Nonetheless, since the incident, a new coalition of supportive women from across the state, who simply identify as "Women for Akin," are pulling together to show their appreciation for the candidate. Julie Thomas from the Ozarks called Akin "a man with unparalleled character," and stated that when Republicans abandoned Akin, "that was a tipping point for me" to support him all the more.
Akin faces off against Democratic challenger Claire McCaskill at the ballot box in less than 50 days.

Rev. Dr. C.T. Vivian
Presidential Medal of Freedom, Civil rights activist and Pastor
C.T. Vivian says his mother and grandmother had a vision for his life. Despite losing their family farm to the Depression, a home to arson and their husbands, these women were determined that their son would become an educated, self-confident leader and continue the family's progress from slavery. Because of this foundation, Vivian spent his life using his position to stand up for the rights of others and became a vanguard in the struggle for racial equality.
The only child of Robert Cordie and Euzetta Tindell Vivian, young Cordy Tindell ("C.T.") moved to Macomb, Illinois with his mother and grandmother in 1930. The women chose Macomb because it had non-segregated schools and a local college. After graduating from Macomb High School in 1942 where he had been an active student leader, Vivian began a stint at Western Illinois University. He decided to leave college and moved to Peoria to work at the Carver Community Center as assistant boy's director. There he met his wife, Octavia, who also worked at the center.
In 1947, Vivian participated in his first non-violent action to end segregation at lunch counters in Peoria. But because of his strong religious upbringing and beliefs, he says he was called to a life in the ministry. However, he saw no separation between civil rights, faith and ministry because "racism is a moral issue." With the help of his church, he enrolled in American Baptist Theological Seminary in Nashville in 1955.
Also in 1955, he and other ministers founded the Nashville Christian Leadership Conference, an affiliate of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). The group organized and trained students to embark on a movement to end segregation in Nashville. The Nashville affiliate organized the city's first sit-ins in 1960 and led the first march of the Civil Rights Movement. In 1961, he joined Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) members and other ministers to continue the Freedom Rides into Jackson, Miss. after a group from the Congress of Racial Equality disbanded. The SNCC group was arrested and Vivian was badly beaten at Parchman Prison. In 1963, Martin Luther King asked Vivian to work on the Executive Staff of the SCLC as the national director of affiliates. As an SCLC strategist, he worked to help get the Civil Rights Bill and Voting Rights Acts passed. In 1965, he famously confronted Sheriff Jim Clark on the steps of Selma's courthouse while leading blacks to register to vote.
After leaving SCLC in 1966, he moved to Chicago to direct the Urban Training Center for Christian Missions where he trained clergy, community leaders and others to organize. Later, as a coordinator for the Coalition for United Community Action, he led a direct-action campaign against racism in trade unions and helped mediate a truce among Chicago gangs. In 1972, he became the director of Seminary Without Walls at Shaw University Divinity School in Raleigh, N.C.
Among his many leadership roles, he serves on the board of the Center for Democratic Renewal, the National Voting Rights Museum and as a founder of Capital City Bank, a black-owned bank in Atlanta. He has provided civil rights counsel to Presidents Johnson, Carter, Reagan and Clinton and continues to lecture on racial justice and democracy. He resides in Atlanta.

1963-08-06 - Reunions
Summary: Piotr reconnects with his not-so-little-anymore sister.
Nearly a week ago, Piotr Rasputin left the Xavier Institute in a panic — he had been unable toget in touch with his family. Telephones had failed him and, most alarmingly, so had the Professor. He would return, but not until he'd gotten to the bottom of this mystery and assured himself that his parents and baby sister were safe.
Unfortunately, while Piotr had solved *one* mystery, he found himself at a loss in more ways than one.
It is a bright and sunny afternoon when the front door to the mansion creaks open to admit its returning Colossus, but he looks completely lost, almost timid. He has dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep and seems to have forgotten what a comb is. At least he remembered his duffle bag. He closes the door behind himself, frowning deeply, and begins to turn to head in search of the professor. Surely he will know what to do.
The small fishing village was razed— nothing left. All burned to the ground, the bodies long since consumed by timberwolves and the elements. The one oddity was the two graves, side by side, near the hut that had once been the last known home of Piotr's parents, a crude shack on the wind-blasted Russian tundra.
Of his sister, the tiny blonde Illyana, there was no sign.
Then a slip of a blonde girl comes around the corner on the opposite end of the hallway. She's wearing a smart little peasant skirt and blouse, barefoot— all scrawny, wiry legs and muscled forearms.
"Has anyone seen Professor Xavier, I need my les—" she stops, abruptly, when Piotr comes into a patch of overhead light, fingers slipping off the wall paneling and her eyes going as wide as dinner plates. "Piotr," she whispers.
"PIOTR!" she screams. She starts sprinting at him pell-mell, feet thumping on the ground, and bodily hurls herself at him. Her eyes are big as saucers, and she launches herself in an attempt to grab onto him in a bearhug, flying off the ground at chest-height for the big man.
It takes someone literally screaming his name to get Piotr to snap out of his fugue. With a start, he turns towards the voice and sound of rushing footsteps, blinking in very obvious confusion and surprise.
He is at least aware enough to brace for impact, but even then, having someone come full-bore-flying into his chest rocks Piotr back on his heels. He stands rock-still, like a deer caught in an oncoming semi's headlights, and very slowly tilts his chin to peer down at the top of the blonde's head.
"…I am sorry," Piotr says slowly, his accent thick. "Do I know you?"
She's sobbing and gibbering, so it's very hard to make out what she's saying— but she's speaking Russian, thick and fast and slurred with frantic emotions.
"Piotr please, it's me, it's Illyana, please, don't put me down," she weeps, buring her face in his chest. She's overwhelmed— blubbering a little, and crying quite a bit. She wraps her arm around his neck and hangs from him in a familiar fashion. Her hair's matted and a bit unclean, badly in need of combing, but it's a shockingly pale shade of blonde here and there.
"— and then we buried them and-and- he took me back to this strange place, and— oh, Piotr, PLEASE just let's go home," she begs. It's about all that's comprehensible between broken words about Limbo and something about a man named Belasco.
Piotr has grown used to only catching every other word in some conversations, but not when they're in *Russian*. He blinks once he realizes the language she's speaking and immediately becomes more like his normal self— just like that, he's carefully dropping to a knee so that the poor girl no longer has to dangle from his neck, with large hands coming up to very lightly rest at her waist and keep her steady.
"Shhhhh, shhh. Slow down," Piotr says gently, slipping into Russian. She speaks it, so why shouldn't he? "You are safe here, yes? Slow…" As more of her words register, he trails off, his brow furrowing in confusion.
She weeps and cries, her cornflower blue eyes red and puffy. She bites her lower lip in visible pain, trying to choke back a sob, and touches Piotr's cheeks with her fingertips, then pats his forehead with her palm once. "Please, Piotr, please tell me you haven't forgotten me. It's me, it's Illyana, it's me, please tell me you remember me," she says, hiccoughing then weeping again, making no effort to hide her face. She's very nearly in hysterics, but seems honestly in agony at the idea that he doesn't know her.
It's simply not possible — but Piotr has encountered some very strange things since moving to America, and after seeing what was left of his family's home, he's desperate enough for hope that he can't bring himself to dismiss this out of hand. He doesn't even flinch when she touches his face, too busy studying hers for some sign of the little girl his sister is supposed to be. "I could never forget my Illyana," he says quietly, one hand coming up to brush some hair from her face, the motion almost timid. "But how could this be? She is only so high," he notes, with an odd, strained laugh in his voice as he holds his hand level with his shoulders, now that he's kneeling. "Six. She is only six."
"No! Damn— damnit! No!" Illyana smashes her small but hard fists into Piotr's chest, battering at him. "He— he took this from me, too, DAMN you Belasco!" she screeches. Violet eldritch energy crackles around her, threatening to sear the woodwork around them. "It's me, Piotr, PLEASE believe me, it's your little Snowflake— p-p-please," she begs, weeping and gnashing her teeth. She runs her fingers through her hair, mussing it further.
"You remember our cat Mylene, the little calico, a-and the haytower, we would jump from the ledge and land in the hay," she says, gripping his shirt with a surprisingly firm set of wiry fingers.
"You remember, the tractor, you /saved/ me, you pushed the tractor out of the way," she begs. In fact, Piotr had stopped it cold with his bare hands. "My foot was stuck in that bear trap— I have the scar, please," she begs him, holding her ankle up awkwardly and showing him the ugly but very old scar or her lower calf.
Whatever reaction Piotr was expecting, it is safe to say that violet energy crackling in the air was not on the list. He actually startles visibly, blue eyes widening, and he seems to be back at a loss for how to respond. Until she says it.
Snowflake.
Piotr certainly looks like he's listening to her every word, but now, really, he's just staring. Even if someone were to be playing some kind of a cruel joke, all of this… no. It's too much. Even a telepath would not be so cruel.
Before she can even present the scar, Piotr simply leans forward and wraps a pair of massive arms around her in a familiar, all-encompassing bearhug.
Illyana just wraps around Piotr and cries. Not in pain, but in joy— relieved, heartbreaking joy. He can't see it, but she's burying a smile in the crook of his columnar neck, and she strokes his head and hugs him as if she won't ever let him go.
It takes hours to get caught up, it seems. Piotr had of course written letters, had been in contact, but for Illyana a literal lifetime had passed since last they met. She spills it all to him, every bit, holding nothing back with the pent-up need of a person finding a soul who can they can completely trust. Tea is made, consumed, and then upgraded to vodka. That helps soothe Illyana quite a bit— half a shot and she's clearly unwinding. A bit of a lightweight, the tiny blonde is. It all gets laid out— Belasco, the curse of the unknown amulet she's wearing, the magic tutelage from Ororo and swordplay from Cat— and the gory, bloody insurrection that had led to her becoming the undisputed Queen of Limbo.
Some of the details had been a bit too gory for Piotr's rather more sensitive manner. Illyana had become quite a terror.
"..then Strange brought me here and said I should live here between lessons," she says, picking at the tea leaves at the bottom of her cup. "I had no idea this was the Academy you mentioned in your letters— I wasn't even sure where we were in America," she admits. "Oh, if I'd known, I would have found you days ago."
It is one thing to encounter strange, otherworldly stories in the world and know that they are true. It is quite another to wrap one's head around the fact that they happened to your baby sister — who is not so much a baby anymore, quite abruptly. For once, the upgrade to vodka from tea had actually been Piotr's idea.
"I am just happy you are safe," Piotr says quickly, wanting to cut off the apology before she can even offer it. He offers her a very tired, reassuring smile, massive hands cradling a very small glass that had vodka in it a second ago. *Not* a lightweight, this one. "When I could not reach anyone, I was afraid —" He cuts himself off with a firm shake of his head. He takes a deep, steadying breath. "…but you are here. And you are safe now. Yes?"
"My enemies are vanquished and my allies fear me, so… yes?" Illyana hazards. Her feet wave back and forth under the barstool, bare and dirty from walking around without slippers.
"I am so sorry you were scared, Piotr. It was not my intention. I would have left a message but… who would find it? It would be weeks until the next shipment from Kyrograd, and I'm sure they would not find it or send it, even if I knew to where I should have it sent."
She sips more vodka, making a face, but trying not to look weak in front of Piotr's strong Russian sensibilities. "Please, though, tell me about you," she urges, resting elbows on the table and planting her chin on her hands. She gives him her best, puppyish look, clearly having not forgotten how to wheedle her big brother. "You are still gigantic, so you are eating well. Are you happy here? Learning? Is there someone special?"
It is clear from his expression that Piotr is finding all of this incredibly surreal… but the vodka does seem to be helping. He reaches over to lay a hand over one of hers, fixing her with a very serious look. "Illyana. You do not have anything to apologize to me for. I will not hear of it," he says firmly. "You are here now, and that is what matters." And that, in his mind, is that. Time for a refill.
He has just enough time to bring the glass back to his lips before she asks the question, and Piotr sputters a laugh into his drink. This… this is all completely absurd, and her expression is not helping matters. "Not… not in the way you are implying," he manages, answering the last question first. "But I am learning. I am told that my English is excellent," he says proudly, puffing up his chest. "And I am… as happy as I can be, I suppose," he murmurs thoughtfully, letting his eyes fall to his hands.
Illyana's smile starts to tug the corner of her mouth and she exhales, the expression falling away. "Yes, I … suppose that's true for both of us," she says, a bit sadly as that recent loss pangs them both. She reaches over and squeezes three of his fingers, about all she can get her slender, callused little hand around comfortably.
She purses her lips, then switches to English. "Strange did… something when we met," she says, in excellent if heavily Slavic accented English. "He cast a spell and words just… come to me. I merely need to think 'Speak in English' and I know precisely what to say. I do not know what many words mean," she admits. "Hamburgers, I… none of that word sounds like you would think it is."
Without a second thought, Piotr sets his glass aside in favor of covering her hand instead. It strikes him as a better use of it. "A spell? But that is cheating," he notes in his own heavily accented English, though the twinkle in his eye makes it clear he is only teasing. "I should thank him. He has saved you a great deal of trouble. It is difficult to learn," he grumbles, his brow knitting in confusion. "Hamburgers are not pig. They are beef. Makes no sense."
"Thank you!" Illyana says, flapping her free hand in the air. "And the French are not fried, and hot dogs are not made of Labradors." She gives him a helpless expression. "English is such a strange language. Still— I at least can communicate. Many people frown at me though, and ladies at Macy's would not help me shop. A police man told me I should go home to Moscow. I am not from Moscow, so I was very confused, but he was insistent about it." She wiggles her narrow shoulders at him.
That makes Piotr wince. "…mmh. Politics," he rumbles in a low voice, casting a sidelong look towards the doorway. "It is… difficult, right now, to sound like we do," he says slowly, sliding his eyes back to his sister. He's stomping down the impulse to try and explain this to her the way he would a child — she is supposed to be one, but demonstrably, she is not.
"Why?" Illyana asks, looking baffled. "No one has said anything to me about it. Can you explain?" A sharp reminder of the fact that while she looks to be an adult, Illyana has not had the advantage of growing up in Russia— or America. Knowing nothing about international politics or diplomacy or the like. It might be a start to find she's ever aware of America as an independent nation from Russia.
The thought that noone has spoken to Illyana about this before now causes Piotr to draw his lips back into a thin, disapproving line. If he felt like being fair, it is less obvious a concern to the likes of Strange than it is to another Russian, but he has had just enough vodka that 'fair' is going to have to wait for another time.
For the moment, Piotr holds up a finger and rises to his feet. One benefit to living in a school — a map is never too far out of reach. Or, in this instance, a globe. He sets it onto the table between them, and points. "This is home," he explains, tapping Lake Baikal with a fingertip. "Then, here… Moscow. And over here," he continues, crossing the sea to tap New York, "is where we are now, in America. Different country, different people in charge than back home. Yes?"
Illyana's eyes go to the size of robin's eggs, and she pours over the map as the impromptu geography lesson starts. "Oh… oh my. It's so… far! I had no idea," Illyana says. She puts a finger over Lake Baikal, then snaps her hand back— as if stunned by the enormity of distance from her home to the lake, then from the Lake to the heart of Russian authority and culture.
"Yes, I… I see. New York." She examines the map carefull, nose almost touching the globe to read all the tiny little characters hand-painted by the steady hand of some un-named globemaker.
Piotr draws his hand out of the way to let Illyana examine the globe, a small smile tugging at his face, despite the context. "Very far. But what one does matters to all of the others," he explains carefully, and now it's his turn to sit with his chin propped up in a hand. "And right now, our countries… there is no trust," he murmurs, his smile fading to be replaced by a tired, almost resigned frown. "Just fear. There is not *war*, not yet, but…"
"Yet. That is worrisome." Illyana pats Piotr's fingers. "It is all right. We do not have to stay here," she urges him. "You and I can go anywhere— anywhere I can think of. Or we could hide in Limbo," she suggests. "There is an entire world there. I have flown as fast as I can will myself and not seen a tenth of that land. And I am a Queen! You could live in my palace and be the Commander of my armies. I know no one I could trust more," she says, beaming at having found the perfect solution to all their woes.
It actually takes Piotr a moment before he can respond. "It is… tempting," he admits in a very quiet voice, casting a guilty look towards the doorway. "But my comrades — I could not just leave them. If they are to face danger, I would face it with them. The people here, they are good," he smiles, lightly tapping the table with a hand. "They are worth it." He pauses briefly, his smile widening. "…besides. Having your Commander call you 'Snowflake' would probably be, ah…" He shakes his head. "…not so intimidating."
"I'd shove you in the giant wasp nest," Illyana threatens Piotr, waggling a bony finger at him. "Facefirst."
She rests her hands on the counter, the threat fading to a smile. "I'm glad I found you, Piotr. I thought I was going to be alone forever. I don't think I have to be, now." She squeezes his fingers affectionately. "I feel… better now. For the first time in a long time— maybe since the first time Cat and 'Ro showed up."
Facefirst into a giant wasp nest? "That is fair," Piotr decides, keeping his smile. He frees one hand in order to give her hair a light, affectionate stroke. "I am glad you found me, too. This place, I think it will be good for you. I will try to get used to this quickly," he promises. "It is… not the oddest thing I have ever seen, but this is not same."
"It will be all right, Piotr," Illyana assures him. Her smile twists a little bitterly. "Belasco conspired to try and take everything from me. We lost many years together but… I did not lose my brother."
"And in some ways, this is more fun, da? We can go hiking, adventure, skating, all things we used to do. You don't have to look after your little sister. I can protect myself now. We can look after each other," she promises him. "Wherever we go."

Tyler Fronted Aerosmith Booking Summer Tour For Europe & North America
BOSTON (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) — Aerosmith appears to have put their troubles behind them and are planning to add a string of summer dates in Europe and North America following their scheduled gig at this year's Download festival in the UK.
According to Billboard, Tyler and the other members of Aerosmith have settled their differences, at least temporarily, and they are set to hit the Sweden Rock Festival on June 10, 3 days ahead of their scheduled June 13 gig at Download. Additional European dates will be announced shortly.
"There's no Aerosmith without Steven Tyler," Andy Copping of Live Nation U.K., producer of the Download Festival told Billboard. "There's no point in entertaining anything other than (with) Steven Tyler." Copping adds that an Aerosmith without Tyler "was never part of the conversation" with the group's representatives.
The future of the band had been up in the air after the band's frontman Steve Tyler cancelled the band's last tour for a stint in rehab. Tyler also engaged in a public dispute with other members of the band, particularly Joe Perry, which had Aerosmith talking about auditioning replacements for Tyler.
Billboard also noted that the band has been offered dates in North America but nothing has yet been confirmed. – CelebrityAccess Staff Writers

Meet Jalynne Leedy, a 7th grader at PALCS. Below, Jalynne shares her passion for writing stories, and how it inspires her to follow her dreams.
"My family has been with PALCS for almost four years now, and it's been a pretty great experience so far. PALCS has made a difference in my life because it gives the option to work around my schedule while public school wasn't like that.
I've been writing since I was about 9 years old, it started with stories and small things. That was before I learned more about poetry. I've been writing for about 4 years, and I feel like I could go far. I've had a lot of ideas about why and how I could become famous for my poems, songs, and books – but I don't know if that's what I really want in my life. I've started writing so many books that I honestly have lost track of them all and feel like I'll never get to finish any of them.
There was this book I'd been writing called Abducted about a girl who is abducted by two young men after being picked up by some popular girls after school, who claimed they were going to give her a ride home. I let my mom read it and she was interested, she said that she couldn't wait for me to finish it because she wanted to read the rest.
I was really motivated and uplifted by that and it's been pushing me to my limits [ever] since. Writing is important to me because it's an outlet for me and I can write when I'm down.
Never giving up on my dreams and always following through is something that needs to be done on a daily basis for me, or I feel like I have nothing else. So I go to writing. Because writing is there, and sometimes it seems as, although writing is not living, it is the only thing there that cares.

Based on a story by
Mark Lane
Action, Crime, Drama, History, Thriller
| Roger Ebert
November 20, 1973 |
When you walk out of "Executive Action," they give you an eight-page newspaper filled with photographs, charts, footnotes and cross-references to the Warren Report. It's designed to convince you that the movie's version of the Kennedy assassination could be true. Indeed it could. It could also be false. Nothing in the movie establishes one or the other. This is essentially a dramatized rewrite of all those old assassination conspiracy books; it borrows from actual newsreel footage of Kennedy, Oswald and Jack Ruby for most of its power.
And it does have power, make no mistake. It has the power, of evoking what will probably remain, for most of us, the most stunning public moment of our lives: the moment when we first learned that the President had been shot.
The media have been filled with recollections for days now, and they've been all the more melancholy because, as someone said the other day, it's beginning to look as if Nov. 22, 1963 was the day things started to go wrong for America. Whether they went wrong on purpose, because of a rightwing plot financed by a Southern millionaire (which is the thesis of "Executive Action"), or whether they went wrong just because of the crazy accident of Lee Harvey Oswald, is something we'll likely never know. But there's something exploitative and unseemly in the way this movie takes the real blood and anguish and fits it neatly into a semi-documentary thriller.
That wasn't the case with Fred Zinnemann's movie about a plot against De Gaulle, "The Day of the Jackal" (which has finally made it to the Loop after months in the neighborhoods). We knew that was fiction from the beginning; it was well-paced, the characters were brilliantly drawn and we were entertained. But "Executive Action" doesn't seem much to want to entertain.
The characters are deliberately played in extremely low key, and they talk as if they were reciting peculiarly stiff PR releases. ("The President is planning a motorcade to woo votes," Robert Ryan is actually forced to say at one point.) No, we're left with the notion that the men who made this movie really want to convince us of their conspiracy theory,
The story was coauthored by Mark ("Rush to Judgement") Lane, the screenplay is by old liberal Dalton Trumbo and the colorless direction is by David ("Lonely are the Brave") Miller. They don't seem to understand that showing something as it could have happened doesn't mean it did. The movie doesn't justify its ending, then. We're shown the faces of 18 "material witnesses" who died, most of them violently, in the three years after Kennedy's death. We're told that an insurance actuary calculated that the odds against all 18 dying before February 1967, were 100,000 trillion to one. Fine. And I guess we're supposed to walk out of the theater convinced. But . . . not a single one of those 18 "material witnesses" is ever shown in the film.

On Kickstarter, the crowd is your best friend — or your worst enemy.
More than $363,000 Canadian dollars will be returned to 2,569 backers.
The story of Luci both highlights the vulnerability of crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter, where virtually anyone can raise money, and the power of online crowds as a regulatory force.
On Nov. 1, Amine Barnat, a student in Paris, pledged $175 Canadian dollars to Luci. For such a donation, GPX Technologies, the Montreal-based company behind Luci, promised to give backers a product that would help induce lucid dreams.
GPX did not respond to requests for comment.
Barnat and other backers used the comments page to point out perceived discrepancies, such as a lack of information available online about GPX and its founder, Wayne Kendall. He found what appeared to be modified images of the components of the Luci device, and a lack of video of the device in action.
The skepticism chipped away at Luci's funds.
After hitting more than $400,000 CAD in funds on Sunday, the project lost more than $38,700 CAD on Monday night before the project was canceled, according to Kicktraq, a site that tracks the funding progress of Kickstarter projects. A separate post on Reddit also pointed to possible red flags and attracted 42 comments.
This is not first time Kickstarter has wrestled with fraud allegations. Last summer, funding for a project called Kobe Red (a Kobe beef jerky startup) was suspended amid scam accusations — but not before the group attracted more than $120,000 worth of pledges. Critics of Kickstarter have argued that such sites will attract more bad actors, as they rise in popularity.
Kickstarter has some basic controls in place. It verifies the identity, address, bank account, phone number and email for the project creators. It also tries to verify that the project submitted is indeed a creative project (not for instance, a project to fund a personal vacation). Projects must have a distinct beginning and end.
Kickstarter warns backers to carefully review a project's materials before pledging money. Users can also alert Kickstarter if they suspect a project is inappropriate or fraudulent.

Q: How to plot a cone of view mathematically? How to plot a cone of view mathematically? Like the below example. I need to plot it mathematically to exactly be able to get the answer for something like "What detection distance (in percent) is the detector rated at when viewing a fire at a 27.23 degree angle?

A: I'm not sure if this is what you are asking for because your image is broken but anyway:
A right circular cone in 3d is an affine transformation of the set of points that satisfy $z=|x,y|=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

Instead of hiding its inner self under an industrially polished outer layer, this furniture collection proudly exhibits what it's made of: wood!
The surface of many products does not show the material that lies underneath. Modern techniques can make plastic look like steel, glass or solid wood. This dishonesty creates an emotional distance between us and our objects, says Sho Ota. With this project he wants to revive our appreciation of genuine materiality.
Instead of working the wood until it is smooth and uniform, he highlights the natural grains and knots — even exaggerating them with carved out patterns and extensions. Newly grown branches demonstrate what these knots once were. True tactility returns, reminding us of the origins of our furniture.
Many surfaces have become a disguise.
