Viva Voce's Anita Robinson Talks The Future Will Destroy You, Female Musicians and the Apocalypse
Christina Caldwell
| Q&A |
Christina Caldwell | September 29, 2011 | 10:00am
Indie's Viva Voce, the husband-wife duo of Anita and Kevin Robinson, never had to fall back on "being cute." Music lead them to each other, not vice versa.
They've toured extensively over the better part of the last six years, including a stint with The Shins and local boys Jimmy Eat World.
Touring is sort of their bag. Getting out on the road allows them to get in touch with the people that so often become the subject of their lyrics.
Up On the Sun spoke with Anita about love, the road and the details of the apocalypse.
Viva Voce is scheduled to perform Wednesday, October 5 at Rhythm Room.
What did you want to do differently on The Future Will Destroy You than you did on 2009's Rose City, or what you've done in the past?
Anita Robinson: We wanted the songs to sound better and we wanted the album to sound even better. We worked really hard on the songwriting and the recording, and we think we did the best record we've ever done. We're really proud of it.
I'm sure you're sick of this question, but how does being married change the songwriting process between you and Kevin?
I don't know because I've never written songs with anyone except Kevin.
So then is the songwriting a 50/50 process?
Yes, 50/50.
Give me an idea of how sick you are of the "married" question.
Oh, it's ok. I guess it just strikes me as a little odd. I just wonder if it's just because people still think it's odd to see a female in a band. I know so many people who are couples and are in bands. I guess if you love music and you meet someone you love making music with, it's almost surprising if love doesn't follow. That's kind of the way it worked with us. Music was just a really big thing that we had in common and we found joy in doing that together from the moment we met.
You're a talented guitar player and you're also a woman. It seems like plenty of press and even fan attention focuses on the fact that you're a female guitarist - almost like you're a cat riding a bike or something. How do you feel about the emphasis on the fact that you're a woman?
Oh, I don't know. It really doesn't come up anymore. Honestly, I think a lot of guys are afraid to even say anything to a female guitarist because they're afraid they're going to offend you in some way. A lot of times, a guy will come up after a show and he'll say "Don't take this the wrong way, but you're the best female guitarist I've ever seen." And so what I do when that happens is I say "Thank you." I take it as a compliment. I don't think they mean anything sexist.
The song "The Future Will Destroy You" deals with some apocalyptic themes. How do you see the apocalypse actually going down?
[Laughs] Well, whether or not I believe that, it definitely seems like there is a lot of people that feel that way. I think there's sort of a collective consciousness sometimes, and for whatever reason, through feelings or words, that's what was going through our heads when we were creating these songs. I don't know why, but I feel like we had to do it. While we're not paranoid and not sensationalistic, it does sort of surprise me how prophetic the lyrics have turned out to be. These songs were written and recorded before Valentine's Day, so a lot of terrible things have happened since then, but I don't feel like I have any answers. I wish I did.
What's the status on your side project, Blue Giant?
Last year we did a lot of shows and touring for Blue Giant. It was so fun and really satisfying, and traveling with a five piece band really met that need that I think we both had. It really satisfied that need for us, so when we went back to make this Viva record, we were totally comfortable and happy about the way we've always done things in the past. So that's the way we're doing it on this tour. We're back to the original duo and it's been going great. I feel like the chemistry is just really strong whenever Kevin is on drums, when we're side by side on stage when we can kind of make eye contact. I just feel like the music works better live that way.

If, like many others, you feel implant dentistry is the choice for you, we ask that you undergo a dental/radiographic examination and health history. During these consultation visits, your specific needs and considerations will be addressed by either Dr. Maher, Dr. Olechowski, Dr. Huntington, Dr. Keon and Dr. Jani, or by an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon referred by our practice. Your questions and concerns are important to us and our team will work with you very closely to help make your procedure a success.
After the dental implant has bonded to the jaw bone, the second phase begins. The surgeon will uncover the implants and attach a small healing collar. Drs. Maher, Olechowski, Huntington, Keon or Jani can then start making your new teeth. An impression must be taken. Then posts or attachments can be connected to the implants. The replacement teeth are then made over the posts or attachments. The entire procedure usually takes six to eight months. Most patients do not experience any disruption in their daily life.
Perfect Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is proud to offer the highest level of care to our community. A combination of the latest treatments and technologies and a genuine passion for patient care allow us to provide our patients with optimal experiences and results in our office every day. Whether you are here for aesthetic or health reasons, we welcome you to our practice.

Home SHN Newsroom SHN part of world-first trial for new surgical technology
SHN part of world-first trial for new surgical technology
Scarborough Health Network (SHN) is leading the way when it comes to diagnostic and screening procedures.
The Network is one of two sites in the world to take a cutting-edge piece of technology currently used in operating rooms and trial it in a new clinical setting: endoscopy. The aim is to improve the quality of care for patients not only here in Scarborough, but across hospitals that provide this service.
Called the "Neptune S," the new machine from medical technologies company Stryker is the only completely closed fluid waste management system, designed for hands-free clean-up, and streamlined and failsafe specimen collection. This means there is zero risk of patients or staff being exposed to the contents inside of the system. It has developed a strong track record as a tool in surgery, but has never before been used in endoscopy.
Currently, SHN offers a full range of upper gastrointestinal (GI) and colorectal procedures across three hospitals (Birchmount, Centenary, and General) to provide a full spectrum of GI care. Through several leading inpatient and outpatient services and endoscopic procedures, SHN provides an innovative and refined endoscopy program that delivers advanced diagnostic and therapeutic intervention.
Daniel Smith, manager of endoscopy, day surgery and surgical clinics at SHN's General Hospital, emphasized the importance of trials in medical advancement, explaining patients travel to SHN from across the province to receive these types of diagnostics and screening procedures.
"SHN is committed to staying at the forefront of providing the safest, highest quality care. It speaks to our level of expertise and our dedication to patient results and outcomes," he said.
During a typical endoscopy procedure, a doctor can view and take samples from the inside of a patient's body by using a flexible tube with a camera and biopsy tools on the end of it. Currently, the specimen is collected using a wall-mounted suction device, where nurses must stop the flow of suction to collect the specimen as it comes out of the body and risk missing it, which means having to manually go through the fluid contents of the suction bag to find it.
"Neptune S" eliminates this problem, while at the same time reducing disposable waste. It only requires users to throw away the "manifold," a machine insert (like a filter) that collects the samples, rather than the bag containing the full fluid contents of the procedure as with conventional suction devices. This is possible because post-procedure, the machine is connected directly to the septic lines of the hospital building for cleaning, providing a benefit to nurses who do not have to interact with any fluids.
"This technology was built by nurses, for nurses, and it shows," added Smith.
"In trialling this equipment, my staff are reporting greater suction that helps move the scope through the patient's body, and are relieved with the built-in trap's ability to eliminate the possibility of losing a sample and the cross-contamination that occurs by doing anything manual."
Sabrina Alves, product manager of surgical technologies at Stryker Canada, noted the company will take SHN's learnings from using these machines to perfect the next generation of the machine.
"The opportunity to perform this limited launch at SHN enabled us to observe over 100 procedures in a real-world setting and gain valuable knowledge on the work process of endoscopy suites. We look forward to applying our insights to future product development to make surgical procedures more streamlined and efficient for everyone."
SHN awarded highest possible standing by Accreditation Canada for exceeding quality and safety standards

Gloucestershire college offers a wide range of apprenticeships, check out the stories of two of them below.
Amelia Andrews, Engineering Degree Apprentice.
21-year-old Amelia Andrews started her apprenticeship at GE Aviation in 2015 and is working towards achieving her BEng in Electronic and Computing Engineering, whilst studying at GC. She chose to do an apprenticeship because she wanted to gain experience in the world of work and gain a good degree.
Mathew, an Apprentice Manager, decided to do an apprenticeship because he enjoyed his waiting job and knew this route would help him achieve his career goal by learning and working at the same time. He works in each department of the hotel to learn the different aspects of management and so far, has learnt how the reception and kitchen areas work individually, and as part of the hotel.


The "sandwich" method of feedback, where you squish criticism between compliments to smooth it over, is played out and everyone knows it. Most of us cringe when we hear someone suggest it, and even when it works, it's obvious. Adam Grant, author and professor, says it's time to just give it up, and we agree.
We've mentioned it before, and of course, dropping the method isn't a reason to be a jerk when you deliver criticism, but most of us can see through the feedback "sandwich" (sometimes called "the hamburger method") for what it is, and would appreciate more direct honesty instead.
But when I looked at the data, I learned that the feedback sandwich doesn't taste as good as it looks.
Problem 1: the positives fall on deaf ears. When people hear praise during a feedback conversation, they brace themselves. They're waiting for the other shoe to drop, and it makes the opening compliment seem insincere. You didn't really mean it; you were just trying to soften the blow.
Problem 2: if you avoid that risk and manage to be genuine about the positives, they can drown out the negatives. Research shows that primacy and recency effects are powerful: we often remember what happens first and last in a conversation, glossing over the middle. When you start and end with positive feedback, it's all too easy for the criticism to get buried or discounted.
Giving a compliment sandwich might make the giver feel good, but it doesn't help the receiver.
He then goes into some tips to help you deliver more credible, direct, and honest feedback, especially when it's difficult to give. Some of it starts with just asking the person if they want it—after all, sometimes people don't want to hear what you have to say, even if you know you have to tell them. Even so, he notes that every time he's actually asked, no one has ever seriously declined.
He also suggests taking yourself off the pedestal when delivering feedback—you're offering your opinions and perspectives, not putting yourself in a superior position. To that point, he also recommends you make your feedback a conversation, not a monologue, even though it might be tempting to just have your say and be done with it. All good suggestions, especially the next time your coworkers or family members ask for your opinion on something, or your thoughts on their work.

Q: How to get a Java string from a char pointer in C++ I am porting the openvr sample to jogl, after we created the binding with jna.
Almost at the end (before rendering the controllers and the tracking base stations), I got stuck trying to translate a char pointer in C to a String in Java.
C++ code here:
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Purpose: Helper to get a string from a tracked device property and turn it
//          into a std::string
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
std::string GetTrackedDeviceString( vr::IVRSystem *pHmd, vr::TrackedDeviceIndex_t unDevice, vr::TrackedDeviceProperty prop, vr::TrackedPropertyError *peError = NULL )
{
    uint32_t unRequiredBufferLen = pHmd->GetStringTrackedDeviceProperty( unDevice, prop, NULL, 0, peError );
    if( unRequiredBufferLen == 0 )
        return "";

    char *pchBuffer = new char[ unRequiredBufferLen ];
    unRequiredBufferLen = pHmd->GetStringTrackedDeviceProperty( unDevice, prop, pchBuffer, unRequiredBufferLen, peError );
    std::string sResult = pchBuffer;
    delete [] pchBuffer;
    return sResult;
}

GetStringTrackedDeviceProperty here:
/** Returns a string property. If the device index is not valid or the property is not a string type this function will
* return 0. Otherwise it returns the length of the number of bytes necessary to hold this string including the trailing
* null. Strings will generally fit in buffers of k_unTrackingStringSize characters. */
virtual uint32_t GetStringTrackedDeviceProperty( vr::TrackedDeviceIndex_t unDeviceIndex, ETrackedDeviceProperty prop, VR_OUT_STRING() char *pchValue, uint32_t unBufferSize, ETrackedPropertyError *pError = 0L ) = 0;

Where VR_OUT_STRING() is defined here as:
# define VR_CLANG_ATTR(ATTR)

#define VR_OUT_STRING() VR_CLANG_ATTR( "out_string: ;" )

I have already done something similar where I had to call a function that expect the pointer to an array of TrackedDevicePose_t structures:
private TrackedDevicePose_t.ByReference trackedDevicePosesReference = new TrackedDevicePose_t.ByReference();
public TrackedDevicePose_t[] trackedDevicePose
            = (TrackedDevicePose_t[]) trackedDevicePosesReference.toArray(VR.k_unMaxTrackedDeviceCount);

I created first the reference and then from it the actual array.
But here I can't have a class extending the char array..
private String getTrackedDeviceString(IVRSystem hmd, int device, int prop, IntBuffer propError) {

    int requiredBufferLen = hmd.GetStringTrackedDeviceProperty.apply(device, prop, Pointer.NULL, 0, propError);

    if(requiredBufferLen == 0) {
        return "";
    }

    CharArray.ByReference charArrayReference = new CharArray.ByReference();
    char[] cs = charArrayReference.toArray(requiredBufferLen);

    return null;
}

Where apply (here) is:
public interface GetStringTrackedDeviceProperty_callback extends Callback {

    int apply(int unDeviceIndex, int prop, Pointer pchValue, int unBufferSize, IntBuffer pError);
};

CharArray class, crap attempt here
Any ideas?

A: I've done some porting of C and C++ code to Java, and while it's probably horribly hacky, the best I've come up with to solve cases where a pointer to an int primitive or a char*/String is needed for a function call, is to create a small wrapper class with a single property, pass that object into the function, change the property as needed, and retrieve the new value after the function call. So something like:
public class StringPointer {
    public String value = "";
}

StringPointer pchBuffer = new StringPointer();
unRequiredBufferLen = pHmd.GetStringTrackedDeviceProperty( unDevice, prop, pchBuffer, unRequiredBufferLen, peError );
String sResult = pchBuffer.value;

and inside GetStringTrackedDeviceProperty()
...
pchValue.value = "some string";
...

In this case, you can use a String, since that's what your code is doing with the char* after the function call, but if it actually really needs to be a char[], you can just create char[] pchBuffer = new char[unRequiredBufferLen]; and pass that into the function. It will be just like you were using a char* in C++, and any changes you make inside the array will be visible after the function ends, and you can even do String sResult = new String(pchBuffer);.

As I write this, I am sitting on a train heading north. Very north. Like so-far-north-in-New-Hampshire-I'll-be-almost-in-Canada north.
Why am I doing this, you ask? Why in the world would I be heading out of the city so soon after returning from two months of living in Connecticut?
Well, for one thing, New York gets really hot in the summer, especially when your apartment does not come with an air conditioner.
And New York gets really crowded in the summer. I'm almost positive there is a a city-wide mandate stating there must be at least one double-decker tourist bus for every twenty people, regardless if those twenty people actually want to ride on said double-decker tourist bus.
But back to my north-bound train. Sometimes my job leads me to live a bit more transiently than usual, and this is one of those times. In just five (more) short hours, I will be at the foothills of New Hampshire's White Mountains and ready to spend the next 10 weeks of my life making theater for the good people of Whitefield, NH.
This probably means that I won't be able to write as much as I'd like, and this really probably means I won't be able to feature a ton of new slices I find throughout the land, and this definitely probably means I won't be able to bake any new and glorious creations.
However, I've just learned that the official state fruit of New Hampshire is the pumpkin.
So I'll be damned if I don't find at least once slice of pumpkin pie.

In this video today I want to talk to you on the topic of dealing with difficult people. This is a very broad subject and there are so many variables that will influence how best to respond or deal with any particular situation where you're experiencing another person as difficult. For example, it depends on whether it's in the workplace, at home, your role in the conversation, the purpose of the conversation, etc. It's impossible to cover all of those in this short video.
Instead I want to point out a couple of underlying principles that regardless of the situation or the person, these will hold true.
All of us have this box or this category in our minds, let's call it the "difficult person" box and there are a few people in our environment, whether it's at work, at home, in the community that all of us have parked in this category.
We've had a few encounters with them.
It has been difficult for whatever reason and we have then assigned them a place in this little room.
It would be lovely if we could put them in the room, mentally at least, turn the key and never have to deal or interact with them again. That would be fine if we have that choice and sometimes we do have that choice.
So let me challenge you a little on this.
What if I was to say, actually there's no such thing as a fixed category of difficult people?
Now I'm not trying to be Pollyanna-like about this.
Neither am I saying that there aren't situations and times where everyone experiences someone else in their work or their home life or wherever, as very frustrating, very annoying and difficult to be around.
Perhaps they say things that are very hurtful.
Perhaps they say things that are very irritating. All of us have those experiences of a few other people in our environment. But having this very fixed category in our mind of the 'difficult persons' box that we assign the same people to, over and over again is really not very helpful.
We like to think that our minds work a little bit like a camera. So there is a tree in the field. We take our camera, we snap, and then we have an accurate representation of the tree.
We imagine our minds are similar. We see a person out there, they are a 'difficult person' and we have captured an accurate image of this 'difficult' person and it's a very fixed solid reality.
In fact, our mind is more like a virtual reality headset.
So we're not actually experiencing the objective reality out there. Yes, it's happening, but we're creating our own internal experience of what's happening outside us.
So you might wonder…virtual reality headset camera, so what?
Well, that has a number of significant positive implications for how you deal with difficult person or indeed any challenge in your life.
You see the more you can start to grasp that our experience is internally generated, that we live in in a thought-created reality, it just allows us to relax our grip on this very fixed, solid idea of this person being a 'difficult' person.
Yes, you'll have memories of things that happened. You'll have worries and concerns about something in the future, but the more you can start to see that that's a transient and thought-generated noise that's constantly going through our minds, the greater sense of ease, composure, sense of balance that you will have regardless of the behavior of the other person.
You'll begin to see that if you're in a more relaxed state of mind, if you're less caught up in the noise in your head about that person, then you're going to be different in those interactions.
You're going to be more open and be less defensive.
You're going to be less wary, less on edge.
You're going to have greater sense of goodwill towards that person. That will impact on the interactions you have with them.
Secondly, for the time you're not in that person's presence you'll be much less impacted. So often people say to me, you know, it's that I'm worrying and thinking about this person when I'm at home in the evening. This person is taking up too much space in my head.
That's not going to be happening as much.
Instead, you will begin to see that this is just all part of the continuous noise that everybody's experiences about difficult situations in their lives. When you don't take it on and take it all too seriously, it sort of disappears by itself.
You will find yourself less caught up worrying about their behavior or worrying about the next interaction or ruminating on the last interaction you've had with them.
You're just going to be in a more resourceful, more open, more relaxed state of mind.
Because you are more resourceful, then you're going to be having much more effective and useful thoughts and ideas about how to deal with the person in the way that gets the best outcome for whatever situation you're in.
So the key takeaway from this video is that, yes, there are individuals out there who for one reason or another, all of us will find at some point in our lives very difficult.
We will fall into a groove of very negative thinking and a very negative story about that person and their behaviors.
That in turn will have a knock on effect on your own sense of wellbeing and composure, certainly when you are around that person.
It will also have a negative fallout in on the interactions with them and it leaves you feeling unresourceful and unresilient at a time when you most need to be in a good state of mind. So the first thing you need to do, is to step back and realise the extent to which you are getting caught up in this negative story. Only then can you access your own inner resourcefulness and resilience to best manage the situation.
So if you found this video helpful and someone is coming to mind that you'd like some help in dealing with, please drop me an email at mary@consenusmediation.ie.

Q: Weak topology on a pre-Hilbert Space Since there was essentially no answers on my previous question, I will ask a partial case of it, which is very easy to state.
Let $\left(X,\left<\cdot,\cdot\right>\right)$ be an inner product (pre-Hilbert) space. Is it possible to describe the weak topology on $X$ explicetely in terms of $\left<\cdot,\cdot\right>$ as a function on $X\times X$? That means without mentioning such not-enough-constructive objects as "completion" and "the dual".
Thank you.

A: Let $\bar X$ denote the completion.
The weak topology $\sigma(X,X)$ on $X$ is strictly coarser than the weak topology $\sigma(X,\bar X)$; see [Schaefer, Topological Vector Spaces, (IV.1.2)].
However, both topologies have the same bounded subsets (which are the norm-bounded sets).
To see this, note that the bounded sets in $\bar X$ for $\sigma(\bar X,X)$ are contained in the completions of the bounded sets in $X$,
for $\sigma(X,X)$. Moreover the bounded sets in $\bar X$ for $\sigma(\bar X,\bar X)$ are the same as those for $\sigma(\bar X,X)$, by Schaefer (III, 3.4).
And each equicontinuous subset of $X$ for the $\sigma(X,X)$-topology (i.e., norm bounded by the uniform boundedness theorem) the topologies $\sigma(X,X)$ and $\sigma(X,\bar X)$ coincide.
EDIT: Correction:
The finest locally convex topology on $X$ which coincides with $\sigma(X,X)$ on each norm-ball (each bounded set), is at least as fine as the topology of uniform convergence on precompact subsets, i.e., on compact subsets of $\bar X$. It might be the same.

Colombian Cardinal Salazar on hopes for Pope Francis' visit
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis arrives in Bogotà, the Colombian capital, on Wednesday at the start of his five day pastoral visit to the South American nation.
The Holy Father will be welcomed by Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos, together with other political and religious leaders, including the Archbishop of Bogotà, Cardinal Ruben Salazar.
The theme of the visit is 'taking the first step' towards peace and reconciliation in the country which has endured half a century of civil war between the government and leftwing guerilla groups. While a peace accord was signed in Cuba last year, violence continues in rural areas and the nation remains deeply divided.
Ahead of the pope's arrival, Cardinal Salazar spoke about his expectations with our correspondent in Bogotà, Linda Bordoni:
Listen to Linda's conversation with Colombian Cardinal Ruben Salazar:
The cardinal says this visit is "really very important" as the nation is living through a "very decisive moment in our history". At this moment, he says, "we are leaving behind years of conflict, of war" and hoping "we can go towards peace, fraternity and solidarity". In this sense, he adds, Pope Francis will have "very important" words for the Colombian people.
Pope's concern for "voiceless" victims
Asked about the many victims of Colombia's civil war, the cardinal notes that in the city of Villavicencio on Friday, the pope will meet with some of those victims, as well as representatives of local indigenous communities. On Sunday, in Cartgena, the pope will meet members of the Afro-Colombian community and these meetings, the cardinal says, show that the Holy Father is "very concerned about the voiceless in Colombia".
Minorities are key for peace
These minorities, Cardinal Salazar says, are now "the key for real peace" and in this sense, he insists, these meetings are "a moment of hope for all of us".
Stewardship of creation
Finally the cardinal speaks about the important issue of ecology and the stewardship of creation, saying that the country has "important national resources" but it is vital to learn to use them without damaging the environment. At the moment, he says, "we are not so able to do that".


As the trend for organic and natural beauty products continue to gain momentum, formulators in the sun care and self-tanning categories are taking notice.
Below are three patents that present novel formulations for organic and natural sun care and self-tanning products.
The patent describes sunscreen compositions having a synergistic combination of ultraviolet (UV) light filtering agents that provide a high sun protection factor (SPF).
The combination of filters comprises butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, ethylhexyl triazone, drometrizole trisiloxane, homosalate, ethylhexyl salicylate, octocrylene and terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid.
The maximum level of any one UV filter is cited as 6% and the maximum total level is 35% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.
The applicants claim that it is desirable to achieve the best photoprotection efficacy with the lowest amount of UV filters and that they discovered ways to attain SPFs that were not previously attainable with such low amounts of overall UV filters.
This synergy is found when certain UV filters are combined in particular ratios and is illustrated table 1, which shows the SPF obtained when a spray-on composition containing the patented combination was in vitro tested.
The patent describes a sunscreen emulsion composition with a water-releasing effect that includes an oil phase containing a liquid organic liposoluble UV filter and a solid organic liposoluble UV filter at a combined concentration from about 10% to about 25%.
The composition has an SPF of greater than or equal to 15 and a critical wavelength of greater than 370nm. In use, water is released from the emulsion in a plurality of droplets upon application of shear.
The preferred emulsifier system is dimethicone/PEG- 10/15 crosspolymer with PEG-15/lauryl polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone crosspolymer although other silicone-based emulsifiers are named.
The PEG-15/lauryl polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone crosspolymer entraps the water, which is released upon application to the skin, and it significantly enhances the aesthetics of the composition.
This emulsifier system is present in combination with a second emulsifier sold as Dow Corning 5225C with the INCI composition of cyclopentasiloxane and PEG/PPG-18/18 dimethicone.
The preferred liquid organic liposoluble UV filter consists of a combination of octocrylene, and ethylhexyl salicylate and the preferred solid organic liposoluble UV filter is butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane but many other UV filters are listed and incorporated in the patent.
The oil and aqueous phases may contain all those ingredients in typical use for this type of composition. The formulations in table 2 were deemed stable and they released water droplets when applied to the skin.
Water, vitamins, a mixture of the plant extracts of Angelica archangelica root, Camellia sinensis leaf, Pongamia pinnata seed and Coffee arabica seed, synthetic polymers, esters, ethers, fatty acids, monovalent and multivalent alcohols, silicones and silicates – all percentages being by weight and related to the total weight of the cosmetic composition.
The hydrolysed Citrus aurantium dulcis fruit extract is prepared by extraction with water at temperatures of 20-35°C. The Mauritia flexuosa fruit oil is obtained by cold pressing of the fruit pulp.
The fruit contains carotenoids and fatty acids such as oleic acid and palmitic acid. Sodium lactate methylsilanol is obtained by condensation of a synthetic derivative of silicon on lactic acid.
The silicon derivative is obtained by synthesis, while the lactic acid is obtained by fermentation from sugar. Caffeine is readily available as a solid white powder.
The active ingredients are incorporated in a composition that may also contain typical ingredients for this product type including water, vitamins, other plant extracts and mixtures of extracts, synthetic polymers, esters, ethers, fatty acids, monovalent and multivalent alcohols, silicones and silicates.
The preferred optional plant oil is red palm oil, which supports the tanning action, together with Bixa orellana seed extract. Other preferred optional ingredients are beta-carotene and alpha-tocopherol.

For All People, Forever
The Cleveland Museum of Art opened its doors in 1916 as a museum "for the benefit of all people, forever."
The Cleveland Museum of Art opened its doors in 1916 in University Circle's Wade Park. During the opening ceremony, Jeptha H. Wade II, whose grandfather and namesake donated the land for the park and museum, stated that the museum would be "for the benefit of all people, forever." The Cleveland Museum of Art has stayed true to this ethos, offering free general admission to a world-renowned collection. The museum offers a diverse selection of artwork in 16 departments, including western masterpieces, American painting and sculpture, the decorative arts, and ethnographic collections representing Asian, African, Oriental, and Native American cultures. The Asian and Egyptian collections are especially well regarded. The museum finished a major renovation in 2013 and now offers over 592,000 square feet of exhibition space.
While general admission is free, special exhibits and events may require admission fees. Check the museum's website for information on special events and exhibits.

As if it weren't great enough to have an adventure game where all the main characters are dogs, Brawsome's Jolly Rover had to take things to the next level with pirate dogs! We spoke to the man behind the game, Australian developer Andrew Goulding, about his stints programming adventure games for PlayFirst, founding his own studio, developing Jolly Rover, and sticking to his guns about a $19.99 price point.You've worked on several gamespoint-and-click that will be familiar to casual game fans: PlayFirst's Avenue Flo, Emerald City Confidential, and Nightshift Legacy. Tell us more about your involvement with these projects.I provided all content/gameplay programming on all these titles, except Nightshift Legacy, I just worked on one slider puzzle. In Avenue Flo and Emerald City Confidential I wrote a bit of placeholder dialog, but much of it was taken out. I wrote some racy dialog for the robotic talking Recycling Machine in Avenue Flo. One particular line for placing a recyclable item in the token slot said "Wrong hole. Is this your first time?" in a monotone robot voice, which we all thought was quite funny, but had to take it out lest it offend some users.The best thing I took away from these projects was an appreciation of the casual audience and what frustrates them, and there are a lot of these things! I tried to integrate as many casual gameplay mechanics in Jolly Rover as I could without taking away the core adventure element of it. Focus testing experience shows that the majority of casual players don't like to read too much in games, but I bent this rule a bit for Jolly Rover because I didn't want to take away from the story and character of the game.Why did you decide to strike out on your own and form Brawsome?I started Brawsome while I was working for Codemasters in England in 2006. At the time it was just a website where I was going to do reviews and post small flash games, it was fairly random, and mainly a landing pad for my other adventure – Just Another Point and Click Adventure.This is about the time I got in contact with Dave Gilbert about a collaboration on an adventure, he was working on the Blackwell series then and wanted to do a slightly different type of game that I won't mention here. I contacted Dave because of his prominence as an adventure game designer amongst the Adventure Game Studio (AGS) community and really wanted to work with him on something.We didn't end up working together on that title, but kept in touch. When I heard Dave landed a project with PlayFirst in early 2008 I contacted him to see if he needed a programmer and went from there. I only registered the Brawsome business name part way through development of Emerald City Confidential, about the same time I quit my job as Assistant Producer at Australian developer Krome Studios to pursue contract work full time.Before then I was doing 20 hours a week for Dave, and 40 hours a week at my full time job with 15 hours a week travel time… PLUS my wife had just given birth to our first child. If I wasn't mad enough to attempt this in the first place, I certainly was a little crazy afterwards, but tired, mostly tired. I have to take my hat off to my wife, we haven't had a proper holiday since I started work on Emerald City Confidential back in 2008. I work weekends, nights, sometimes I'll get out of bed at night to go answer an email or write down an idea. I don't know how or why she puts up with me, but I'm glad she does!

Ribble Valley's dog poo problem with hundreds of bins left unemptied every week
Ribble Valley Borough Council is looking at how it can tackle the issue of dog faeces in the district

From town and village streets to parks and country footpaths, the Ribble Valley has a dog poo problem,
Collecting dog waste across the idyllic borough is a growing challenge which needs more resources, a borough council committee will hear this week.
Increased dog ownership is creating more dog waste along with complaints about overflowing litter bins, according to an agenda for this week's meeting of Ribble Valley Borough Council Health & Housing Committee.
Walking has also boomed since the Covid pandemic but the Ribble Valley's richly-varied towns and countryside means some popular walking routes are not easily accessible for refuse workers using vans.

Borough councillors are being recommended to consider new bin collection rounds, staff arrangements and extra vehicles to deal with the problem. A number of options have been drawn-up by council officers which will be discussed at the latest Health & Housing Committee meeting on Thursday, October 28.
An agenda for the committee meeting states: "The council has around 560 litter or dog bins across the borough. Following a decision some years ago, the majority of bins are designated to accept litter and dog waste. However, in practice, it appears that many of the bins designated for dog waste only are used for both purposes (dog waste and general litter).
"Of the total stock of bins, 42 are emptied by dog wardens weekly. These bins are often in locations used by dog walkers but inaccessible to the refuse collection vehicles that service around 85% of the total bins.
"The remaining bins are located in parks and play areas and are serviced by the grounds maintenance staff. Town centre bins are also emptied as required by early morning street cleansing teams.
"When the dedicated dog waste bins were first deployed, they were emptied by the refuse collection crews during daily rounds. When the number of dog waste bins was later expanded substantially, the council doubled the dog warden resources so that this new work could be picked up by the wardens."
In recent times, the number of people going out for walks has increased during the Covid pandemic. Complaints of full and overflowing bins have increased over the period along with misuse of the bins and fly-tipping, which has mushroomed, according to the agenda.
When complaints come from residents or from parish councils, the borough's explanation of what is causing the problem is rarely seen as acceptable, the agenda adds.
A working group was set up by the Health & Housing Committee to look at potential solutions in more detail.

One option is creation of a new cleansing team of eight staff, to collect litter from all bins twice a week from all locations accessible with extra van-type vehicles. Extra bins could be included – potentially creating a total of up to 800 bins. Estimated costs include over £202,000 in total annual wages for eight staff, £304,000 for eight vehicles and almost £33,000 for 240 extra bins.
Another option is increased staff with existing vehicles, with twice weekly collections on most of the bins. Estimated costs include £152,000 on four vehicles, almost £33,000 on 240 extra bins and £112,000 needed for a smaller number of additional staff and other costs.
Achieving efficiencies on the time taken for bin emptying and collection of waste is not easy because some of the more remote locations popular with dog walkers cannot be reached in a van.
John Heap, the borough's Director of Community Services, states in the agenda: "The (dog waste) service itself is not a statutory obligation, although many residents might argue that there is a moral obligation to protect the environment of the area by offering this service. The negative impact on the environment of dog faeces, whether bagged or not, is well documented, including the health risk to those coming into direct contact with dog faeces.

"The growing number of complaints from dog owners and others about overflowing litter bins suggests there is an expectation that the council will respond to the increased use we're seeing of our litter and dog bins."
The Health & Housing Committee will consider if the proposed options should go forward to the borough's Policy & Finance Committee for next year's budget and, if so, dates when the new dog waste collections might start.
The challenge of dog waste comes as the borough council is facing other difficulties with bin lorry driver shortages for household waste collections.

I completed this goal through AP math courses in high school. I received credit for both AP Calculus AB & BC as well as AP Statistics. During these classes, my problem solving and critical thinking skills were developed and I was able to apply the concepts learned in these classes to my science classes. These AP math courses gave me a strong mathematical foundation and prepared me for college level classes. Below is my final project for AP Statistics. As a current science major and hopeful future medical student, math and problem solving are extremely important skills. In my current classes, I use calculus and statistics to do things like analyze the quantitative behavior of chemicals in a reaction or calculate the voltage changes in a neuronal membrane during the propagation of an action potential. Even in my research projects with my advisor, I've used math and problem solving to prepare solutions and calculate statistical differences in our data sets. Math is definitely one of the most useful skill to obtain as a scientist and I hope to take more math courses in my time at Longwood. Considering all the applications of my current level of math in my biology, chemistry, and neuroscience classes, I can only imagine what more I can discover and achieve with a higher level of math education.


Just went to a very cool afternoon of presentations at the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation on the Berkeley campus. It was their 'Winter Design Showcase,' where students presented prototypes or final concept work from their classes this Fall.
The Jacobs building itself, recently opened, is very energizing… lots of light, big, and buzzing with students heading off to use the circuit fabrication or 3D printer labs or whatever. And it was cool to see drones flying and robots wheeling through an obstacle course on the floor of the main presentation room.
But for me, the most inspiring thing was seeing bottoms-up concept development work from students who were totally fired up, and from interesting backgrounds (e.g. bio-engineering and cognitive science, together). This is the essence of product design – the magic that this Institute, modeled after Stanford's, is trying to bottle.
A sort of 'charter school' for people just leaving jail to reduce recidivism rates.
A modular cane system for seniors to make walking sticks more functional and multi-purpose.
A crowdsourced way to get expressions translated from one dialect to another (this student was half Sri Lankan and wanted to be able to communicate better with her grandfather in Sri Lanka).
A template for designing 'better' scary movie posters.
Better designed and less confusing recycling compost and trash can systems.
LED glasses to enhance live music listening.
A 'Yelp for bathrooms' so people with disabilities can share info on publicly accessible bathrooms.
Better air-pollution warning labels for consumer products (e.g. mosquito coils) in India.
Great stuff. Here's some of the concept presentation boards to give more of a taste… I liked the hand drawn ones best… the purest form of product design!
