ICP-Bard MFA
A Two-Year Graduate Program
Applications for fall 2019 are now closed. For admissions inquiries, contact admissions@icp.edu.
The ICP-Bard MFA Program offers a rigorous exploration of all aspects of photography through an integrated curriculum of studio and creative practice, critical study, and Resident Artist Projects.
The ICP-Bard MFA program offers an exploration into the ways in which the photograph operates in society. The 60 credits required for the master of fine arts degree cover the production of a final solo exhibition of original artwork, participation in a final group exhibition, a cumulative publication, as well as the completion of class assignments and internships. The ICP-Bard approach emphasizes creative vision and openness to examining the many iterations of the image, from photography to digital imaging, installation, and video. By considering how photographs are created, presented, discussed, used, and documented, students gain an intimate knowledge of the ways in which images increasingly structure modern society and consciousness.
The graduate seminars, which are led by ICP-Bard core faculty members, blend in-depth study, intensive discussions, and individual work. Students also gain an understanding of the role of art historians by working with ICP's curatorial team and the Museum's extensive archives. In doing so, students learn how exhibitions are curated, archives are maintained, and research is conducted. In the Resident Artist projects and internships, students learn firsthand from contemporary artists about the practical conditions of making art and innovative approaches to photographic practice. With its strong emphasis on writing and publication, the program encourages students to articulate the relationship between their practice and that of other artists. Through ongoing studio work, critiques, and internships, students challenge their ideas and test new approaches to image making, synthesizing the program's varied experiences and defining their own ways of working.
Throughout the program, students receive individualized attention and support from a distinguished and dedicated core faculty, as well as noted visiting artists, and mentors with whom students intern. Visiting faculty include practicing artists, scholars, critics, historians and vary from year to year.

Studio Practice
The foundation of the program, studio practice is a seminar in which students integrate what they are experiencing and learning into their own creative work. Through ongoing studio assignments, group critiques, and one-on-one meetings with faculty, students develop their photographic work and define a personal approach to their practice. A final exhibition of
original work, presented at the end of the second year, is required for graduation.
Critical Study
In these topical seminars, students focus on theoretical and critical issues in the history of photography. Working with historians, editors, photographers, and ICP curatorial staff, students engage in research, writing, and curatorial activities. Students' own writing charts the development of their ideas about photography in relation to the work of other photographers. A written thesis, which serves as an anthology of two years of critical coursework and professional practice, is required for graduation.
Internships are an integral part of the program, enabling students to gain practical exposure to various aspects of the field. First-year students are required to intern for individual photographers/artists. Second year students are required to intern with photographic and media- based organizations, such as museums, photo agencies, and magazines. All students are expected to report on their internship in classroom discussions and to record these experiences as part of their final written thesis.
Resident Artist Projects
Each semester, prominent photographers and critics work with MFA students in focused, project-oriented seminars, exposing the students to a wide range of styles and career paths. Each class provides in-depth examination of photographic techniques and emerging issues in photography, as well as group and one-on-one critiques of student work. By engaging in projects that reflect the visiting instructors' aesthetic, students come to understand the implications of art making in different contexts. Once admitted, ICP-Bard students must earn a total of 60 graduate credits in two years, 30 credits per year, in order to receive the master of fine arts degree. At the end of every year, a board of ICP-Bard faculty members reviews each student's achievements. Credits are awarded or withheld at the board's discretion.

It's happening again: Mediterranean an immigrant graveyard
Tags: Mediterranean Sea, bad boats, death, rescue, immigrants
From The Guardian...... A Guardia di Finanza boat is seen in the Mediterranean after a rescue boat caught fire. Photograph: Remo Casilli/Reuters Click here to read the full story in The Guardian.
From reporter Lorenzo Tondo in Palermo for The Guardian:
So far in 2020, more than 500 refugees are known to have died in the Mediterranean, and the real number is estimated to be considerably higher.
A boat carrying dozens of refugees has burst into flames off the coast of southern Italy as its passengers were being transferred to Italian naval vessels to take them to port.
Five people are confirmed dead and two are missing at sea. Six people are in hospital with serious burns injuries, including two Italian officials who were taking the people off the boat.
The vessel was approached by an Italian naval ship that was in the process of taking migrants onboard and, according to preliminary reports, suddenly caught fire, most likely because of a fuel leakage, then exploded. The number of victims is still uncertain.....
The poor give to the Poor. BRAVI!!

Q: R programming; double indexing loop to find mean of subsetted data frame I would like to run a "for" loop that uses three indices. Basically, I want to subset a data frame, find the mean of the subset, and place the mean value in a new data frame. I am having trouble running this loop; all I get is NaN's.
The first index is used to match the rows of the new data frame (which I call data.avg);
The second index is used to index to a vector that will be used in the first half of the subsetting condition (that the date values be from a specific month);
the second index is the same as the above, but for the second part of the subsetting condition (that the row is associated with a Breakfast/Dinner/Snacks).
# Create the data frame
data1 = data.frame(date = sort(rep(as.Date(42948:43101, origin = "1899-12-30"),3)),
               serving = rep(c("Breakfast", "Dinner", "Snacks"), 154),
               units = rep(c(1,5,49), 154)
)
View(data1[order(data1$date),])

# take mean of each subset and place it in a new data frame called data.avgs
# it should consist of 8x3 data frame; rows (column1) are "August","September", "October", "November", "December", "January","February", "March".
# columns should be "Breakfast", "Dinner", "Snack"
month.index = c(8:12, 1)
serving.index = c("Breakfast", "Dinner", "Snack")

# create the data frame with the means using placeholder data
data.avg = data.frame(months = c(month.name[8:12], month.name[1]),
                  bf.avg = c(1:6),
                  dinner.avg = c(1:6),
                  snack.avg = c(1:6))

# now start replacing; find the mean of the subset of the original data frame.
# find the mean of all dates that are for August, and whose serving type are for Breakfast.

    for(j in 1:6){
  for(i in month.index){
    for(v in 2:4){
      data.avg[j,v] = mean(
        subset(data1,
               months(data1$date) == month.name[i] & data1$serving == serving.index[v])$units
      )
    }
  }
}

When I run the mean without the loop, for example, this;
mean(subset(data1,
            months(data1$date) == "September" & data1$serving == "Breakfast")$unit)

I get the correct mean. Because of this, I am thinking that my issue may lie in the index setup.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks
edit; fixed the above code. The resulting data frame is the following;
months bf.avg dinner.avg snack.avg
1    August      5         49       NaN
2 September      5         49       NaN
3   October      5         49       NaN
4  November      5         49       NaN
5  December      5         49       NaN
6   January      5         49       NaN

Here is what I am looking for;
mean(subset(data1,
+             months(data1$date) == "September" & data1$serving == "Breakfast")$unit)
[1] 1
> mean(subset(data1,
+             months(data1$date) == "September" & data1$serving == "Dinner")$unit)
[1] 5
> mean(subset(data1,
+             months(data1$date) == "September" & data1$serving == "Snacks")$unit)
[1] 49

My understanding is that these should be the data1.avg[1,1:3]

A: You set "Snack" in your serving.index, but you have "Snacks" in data1.
And then try this code in the for loop:
data.avg[j,v+1] = mean(
    subset(data1,months(data1$date) == month.name[i] & as.character(data1$serving) == serving.index[v])$units)

data.avg
     months bf.avg dinner.avg snack.avg
1    August      1          5        49
2 September      1          5        49
3   October      1          5        49
4  November      1          5        49
5  December      1          5        49
6   January      1          5        49

I have a CheckBox array, 1 for each table row.
I am trying to kill the selected app if the CheckBox is checked, but if I select any CheckBox and press the kill Button, nothing happens.
Thanks for your help, I am an android beginner.

A: You can't kill an app if it doesn't have the same userid has yours unless your phone is rooted and your application has the root privileges.

A: the method killProcess won't work if you'll try to call it for process ID that is not your own application, or process that started by your application. all that mentioned in the documentation
that's basic security limitation.  if you could kill from your application every application you desired - it was very problematic security issue - apps could kill each other without user interaction...

THE NBM SHOW marks off another stop on the 2018 schedule as it concludes a three-day show in Long Beach, California. The August 2-4 event at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center featured multiple cross-market networking and training opportunities as well as exhibitions from a wide variety of companies in the awards and engraving, apparel decoration, and sign and digital graphics markets.
"Southern California rolled out a warm welcome for THE NBM SHOW in Long Beach," says Vice President of Publishing and Markets Dave Pomeroy. "We enjoyed a busy show that seemed to just get busier until the closing bell on Saturday. Adding to the excitement was the fourth annual WRAPSCON, which I believe was the best one yet."
This was the fourth year WRAPSCON was a part of THE NBM SHOW and the second year it was hosted in Long Beach. The event included live installation demonstrations; classroom training opportunities; a Q&A session with expert installers from around the world; and the WRAP Olympics, a three-day competition that was won by a team from Japan.
Pomeroy continues, "All in all, business was brisk and we appreciate everyone who came out to be a part of this show."

Many college graduates face a mountain of student debt after graduation, delaying major life events.
Student debt has become a key topic in the political debates of late. Many worry that student loans are a drag on the economy, forcing young people to delay major life events such as marriage and homeownership. Many point to analyses from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to support these theories, but there is a slight flaw in the data.
In 2013, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York released the following graph, which many have cited as evidence that, after the Great Recession, those with a higher education accompanied by student loan debt were less likely to own a home than those without a higher education or student loan debt. The visual is a striking admonition to the burdens of student loan debt. The problem is that the information is misleading; the data contains zero information about education.
Lumped together with "no student loan debt" are people who went to college who did not borrow, and people who never went to college. The composition of both of these groups is changing over time.
Before the Great Recession, Dynarskly finds that 35% of young people with a college education and no student debt owned a home, compared to only 23% of those without an education. In the aftermath of the housing market collapse, homeownership dropped for both groups. The drop was more severe for the college-educated crowd, but they started off much higher as well.
The next graph is important because it delves deeper into the data, tracking how homeownership rates evolve over the life cycle. For those in their early twenties, those who did not attend college are more likely to own a home. Logically, this makes sense as they have likely been working since high school and are beginning to settle down, whereas their college-educated counterparts are just entering the labor force.
The college-educated catch up fast, though, and have higher rates of homeownership by age 27. Those who borrow for college do have a slower start to homeownership than those who went to college debt-free. Obviously, student loan payments add to their monthly debt-to-income ratio, requiring more time to save for a down payment and/or qualify for a home loan.
By the time people are in their 30s, however, those with student loan debt are about on par with their debt-free college-educated cohorts. But there is a strikingly large gap between those who went to college (with or without debt) and those who did not.
The fact is, college education usually leads to a higher paying career. Men with a BA earn about $35,000 more per year than those without, and women with a BA earn about $25,000 more. Meanwhile, the inflation-adjusted earning of those with no college experience has been dropping since 1979. The typical undergraduate borrower with a BA has an average debt of $30,000, and pays about $4,200 a year to college debt service. This burden of student debt is dwarfed by the differences in earnings between those with and without a college education.
Like you just mentioned, a college/university graduate is likely to get a high paying job and the monthly student loan repayment shouldn't be a hindrance to acquiring a new home.The only hindrance to buying a new home is when your monthly income is way too low that you can't even afford a down payment for a mortgage.
On a side note, I think most millennials tend to postpone home ownership not because they don't have the money but because they are still changing careers. It wouldn't seem smart to own a home in a certain town yet you know you can get a transfer or a new job soon in another town.
I'm currently studying and I find this as a difficult thing for me since I'd really like to live in my own house as I study. Living with my parents is no longer comfortable for me and well, I really have to find a way to get my own stuff.

Pope: King's 'vision of harmony, equality for all' remains timely
Six principals honored for their leadership

Special to The CS&T
Six principals of parish elementary schools in the Archdiocese got an "A" on their report cards during an October principal's conference. They were recognized as Distinguished Principals "for their compassion and willingness to learn the most current educational best practices and their dedication to passing those skills on to their faculties and students."
The six were Nancy Matteo, principal of St. Andrew School, Newtown; Debbie Jaster, principal of St. Joseph-St. Robert School, Warrington; Immaculate Heart of Mary Sister Margaret Rose Adams, principal of SS. Simon and Jude School, West Chester; St. Joseph Sister Lawrence Elizabeth, principal of Stella Maris School, Philadelphia; Daughter of Charity Sister Cheryl Hillig, principal of De Paul Catholic School, Philadelphia; and Louise Sheehan, principal of St. Dorothy School, Drexel Hill.
"Group work and the facility of movement gives testament to good order and rules," Matteo's citation said. "The use of technology is a given for research and finding information in preparation for future use. Learning objectives are clearly established and reiterated throughout the lesson. The teachers work toward enabling the students to work independently while they act as facilitator. The atmosphere of the school exudes a wonderful work environment."
Jaster's citation noted she opened a new school. "An endeavor such as this relies on a skill set above and beyond those that are essential to leading an existing school," it said. "She relied on her faith, creativity and good business sense to bring a building out of the mud, recruit students and hire teachers committed to the mission of Catholic education."
She has influence throughout the Archdiocese as chair of the curriculum committee and "as a master teacher."
Sister Margaret Rose, the citation said, "enlivens the school in which she administers with her zeal and innovative thinking, challenging all to keep abreast of current educational research and what will provide for an excellent Catholic education for each and every student.
"She is a technology leader using all of the latest technology tools all the while encouraging the same integration in the classroom. Sister Margaret Rose continually searches for new learning."
At Stella Maris, under Sister Lawrence Elizabeth, "the Catholic identity of the school is the most important function of the school," according to the citation. "High quality questions are going on in the classrooms and students are engaged in their learning, and the material presented was relevant for the students. Technology is an area that receives high priority, and many in-services were held for the teachers to help bring this to a good level in the classrooms."
Of Sister Cheryl, her citation read, "Her focus is totally and unselfishly on the students in her care. Sister is a gentle presence within the school, all the while stretching the learning abilities of her faculty and students. A continued and consistent focus on improvement is her mission. Sister Cheryl brings the example of the saints both traditional and modern-day to the students so that the children have clear examples of the direction she expects each child to emulate."
During her tenure at St. Dorothy, Sheehan "has worked tirelessly at keeping the school's reputation stellar," her citation reads in part. "She has accomplished this by keeping programs on the cutting edge. She has a knack for identifying the strengths of those on her faculty and then encouraging each teacher to use that talent for the benefit of the learners. Over all of this is the mantle of Catholic identity. Signs and symbols of the faith are visible throughout the school."
"It is our honor to acknowledge as such excellent administrators within the Archdiocese of Philadelphia," said Mary Rochford, archdiocesan superintendent of schools. "The honored principals are truly dedicated to the mission of Catholic education and work tirelessly each day to bring that mission to life in our schools through our students and teachers."

A musician touring the world, Jay Jeffries left Sawmill Cove long ago to escape painful shadows from his past. But when his brother and sister-in-law are mysteriously murdered, Jay must return home to become the guardian of the only witness: Jay's four-year-old niece, Penny, who has not spoken a word since the eve of the murder. Though the murder remains unsolved, and mysterious events continue to occur throughout the town, Jay's primary focus remains protecting Penny.
Ultimately it may take Ryan Hart, a Forensic Artist who is as strong as she is beautiful, to help Jay and Penny come together. Ryan travels the country helping young witnesses like Penny Jeffries heal, but this case is different. For one, her new guardian Jay doesn't want Ryan anywhere near Penny. And second, the case mirrors her own childhood in an eerily similar manner.
Now Jay, Ryan, and Penny must all face the dark memories of their past while also accepting their unforeseen futures. Like the lake sitting still and silent amidst Sawmill Cove, the stories at its heart contain incalculable depths.

One in five tobacco retailers would prefer not to sell cigarettes
13th March 2019 - Advocacy
Research from Cancer Council NSW and Western Sydney University has revealed that almost 20% of a sample of tobacco retailers (including convenience stores, grocery stores, and newsagents) would prefer not to sell tobacco products.
Cancer Council NSW's Senior Tobacco Control Project Officer, Christina Watts, said "A further 37% of retailers asked were ambivalent about currently selling cigarettes, suggesting that close to three in five small tobacco retailers in NSW may consider stopping selling tobacco if encouraged to do so. This would reduce the availability of tobacco in our community and inevitably drive smoking rates down."
"Currently there are still 5500 smoking related deaths in NSW each year, and more than 10,000 tobacco retailers across the state. If retailers are telling us that they would prefer to not sell tobacco, we need legislative changes in NSW to encourage them to stop selling."
In light of the findings, Cancer Council NSW is calling on the next NSW Government to introduce an annual licence fee to encourage retailers to stop selling and reduce the risk of more people developing the fatal habit. Licence fees have been successfully introduced to discourage retailers from selling cigarettes in a majority of other Australian states and territories. South Australia introduced a $200 annual licence fee in 2007, resulting in almost a quarter of retailers stopping cigarette sales.
"As it stands there is a vast oversupply of tobacco in the community. 74% of retailers in the study said there was another tobacco retail outlet within 1km distance from their store, and a staggering 40% had another store within 100m. Yet there is still no licence scheme in place to regulate who can sell cigarettes, and nothing to discourage retailers from continuing to sell when the products may no longer be important for business."
Harris Farm Markets Co-CEO, Tristan Harris, whose business made the decision to not sell tobacco products, said "Every retailer has a responsibility to consider the impact of every product that they sell to their customers. And if it's a product which has got serious health concerns, then that needs to be taken into consideration."
"Harris Farm has been a successful business despite not selling tobacco products and we've grown every year for the last 25 years. If someone still chooses to sell a product like tobacco, I think they absolutely should be required to have a licence and pay a fee."

Tobacco Retailing in Western Australia, Victoria and NSW: Who Sells (and Why), Who Stops (and Why) is a study of respondents across Western Australia (WA), Victoria, and New South Wales (NSW), from outlet types that are typical tobacco retailers, and where the power to decide whether to sell tobacco or not is likely to rest with the owner/manager of the outlet. The sample comprised convenience stores (with the exception of the large 7-Eleven chain), grocery stores, newsagents, accommodation outlets, and for WA and Victoria, alcohol-licensed premises such as bars, hotels, and clubs. The sample for NSW included 923 current and former tobacco retailers'.
Saving Life 2019
This topic forms part of Cancer Council NSW's pre-election campaign: Saving Life 2019:
Saving Life 2019 is the Cancer Council NSW pre-election advocacy campaign that calls on the next NSW government to protect the community from tobacco, tackle childhood obesity, and support people with lymphoedema. Key policy proposals:
Strengthen the Smoke-free Environment Act 2000 to ensure that people working or socialising in a bar or club in NSW will be protected from second-hand smoke.
Ban tobacco vending machines and introduce an annual licence fee to encourage retailers to stop selling and reduce the risk of young people developing this fatal habit.
Remove junk food advertising from NSW Government owned or leased property, in particular public transport, to ensure parents' efforts to promote healthy eating are not undermined.
Increase funding for public lymphoedema services across NSW to ensure timely access to care, regardless of where people live.

New York's Ameringer McEnery Yohe Gallery Renames Itself, Expands
Miles McEnery Gallery.
COURTESY MILES MCENERY GALLERY
New York's Ameringer | McEnery | Yohe gallery will now be called Miles McEnery Gallery, and will reopen its West 22nd Street headquarters this February. The first show in its newly renovated space, which has also been expanded by 1,500 square feet, will be "Belief in Giants," a group show opening on February 17 that features work by all of the artists on the gallery's roster. (The gallery's West 19th Street satellite will remain open for now, and will have on view a Brian Alfred show at the same time.)
"As an art dealer, you always want more ambitious space, to do more ambitious shows," Miles McEnery, the gallery's director, said in a statement. "We're always looking to grow, both physically and conceptually." As for the name change, McEnery, who has been the managing partner for the last decade, explained that the other two gallery's namesakes, Will Ameringer and James Yohe, are a generation older than himself, so, "in conjunction with the renovation, it seemed like an appropriate time to have the banner be solely my name."
Currently on the gallery's roster are Inka Essenhigh, Tomory Dodge, Guy Yanai, and the estates of Hans Hofmann and Esteban Vicente, among others. McEnery added that there's a possibility that the gallery could make its West 19th Street satellite space a permanent venue, and that he has thought of expanding to other cities as well. "There's always possibility for expansion," McEnery said.

The big dog—Zeus, the Archaeology Museum is the best of the Museums, except for in Egypt.
Today is my one year anniversary from when I departed California, I have admit, time flies—it doesn't seem like a year. Even so, I am very satisfied upon my progression of traveling. Although, I have only visited five countries—rich quality is the result. I can explain the deeper levels of the Islamic culture and the differences in culture from Egypt to Turkey. I have a much deeper understanding of history of the Middle East. If I would have to return to America, I would return extremely satisfied. However, indeed that is not the case, the frontier is awaiting, and there will be exciting travels to experience.
Ironically, my anniversary date is the day I am departing Turkey, and out of the Islamic world (for the most part), this was not planned. I will be around more Islamic countries such as in Palestine, Bosnia, and Albania. Even so, the complete last year has been traveling in Islamic countries—not at anytime have I ever experienced, or felt I was in danger—on the contrary, everyplace I have visited is very safe and friendly.
Quality verses quantity, an article I posted when I was in Egypt provides satisfaction. I have met many other travelers that rush around to other countries, sometimes only visiting the capital city—their words have the tone of dissatisfaction. Nevertheless, everyone has a different style of travel. Avoiding preconceived ideas and expectations are other articles I posted before I departed, which I applied to my mentality and outlook that provides satisfaction. The article Planning, Disappointment, Attachment, has proved worthy wisdom for myself.
Five countries in twelve months I have traveled, only. Most people try to visit eleven or twelve countries within one year—personally, I am to old to be traveling so fast, might be one reason why I don't have grays hairs, although I still dream about buying my first cane and rocking chair—that day will arrive.
The amount I paid for Global ATM transaction fees are Zero, I have not paid a single ATM fee.
I went on one tour in the last year, which was the world war one sites on Gallipoli, it was the best way to visit the sites. After reading Mark Twain's book, The Innocents Abroad, I have avoided tour guides and tours. I did hire a tour guide at the Temple of Luxor, The Temple of Bel, and at an underground city in Cappadocia, only.
I rented one vehicle, in Turkey, in the last year.
I never booked any hotels or transportation in the last year, except for the hotel for my arrival in Cairo.
In the month of January I only spent my interest that I receive from my bank on a monthly basis.
The interest rate bounced from 5.25% to 2.50%, and currently the rate at my bank is 4.00% in the last year.
I attained my budget with a small surplus at the end of my first year.
Within the last year, I did not plan on visiting Syria or Lebanon, the original plan was to cross into Israel from Jordan. Instead, I visited Syria for one month, and house sat in Beirut for two months and thoroughly traveled Turkey by heading East before the touristy West.
I couch-surfed two weeks in Cairo, one week in Dahab (house sat), two nights in Amman, and five nights in Aleppo. I did not do any organic farming in the last year.
I never inquired any type of food poisoning or got sick from drinking the tap water, I did drink tap water in every country, including Egypt. My digestion did loosen up a few times in Egypt from the change from western food to Egyptian food, which is normal, although I was not sick. I inquired two head colds in the last year, only. I did end up dehydrated in Dahab, Egypt, although after taking a rehydration solution I was back to normal.
Traveling slowly provides hidden blessings and satisfaction, tentative planning provides structure, although allowing flexibility provides direction into unplanned territory within the structure of the original plan. I have met people that did not have a tentative plan or a route, their words express dissatisfaction. Personally, having a tentative route provides structure and organization.
The next year, starting tomorrow, I will be starting in Israel for three months. Once I get back to Athens, I am thinking on heading to Crete and then it will be Eastern Europe, although I will not be forming, or setting a time table, I could be in Europe for two years. I have been strategically planning a tentative route, plus I will be changing my style of travel, slightly.
The post of my complete tour of Turkey will be posting tomorrow. I will be in transit to Athens and into Israel for the next week. I will post short updates on my progress, although, I need a break from blogging for awhile.
Next post: The Complete Tour of Turkey.

Little Charles Aiken Character Analysis
Mattie Fae and Charlie Aiken's adult son. Little Charles is thirty-seven years old but stunted in almost every way—he is unmarried, unemployed, and seemingly has trouble even taking basic care of himself. He is tender and creative, though, and has found a secret love with his cousin Ivy. It is eventually revealed—to nearly everyone but Little Charles himself—that Little Charles is actually Beverly's illegitimate son, making him Ivy's half-brother; Mattie Fae had an affair with Beverly some time ago and has been passing Little Charles off as Charlie's boy since his birth.

Act 3, Scene 1 Quotes
CHARLIE: I don't understand this meanness. I look at you and your sister and the way you talk to people and I don't understand it. I just can't understand why folks can't be respectful of one another. I don't think there's any excuse for it. My family didn't treat each other that way.
MATTIE FAE: Well maybe that's because your family is a—
CHARLIE: You had better not say anything about my family right now. I mean it. We buried a man today I loved very much. And whatever faults he may have had, he was a good, kind, decent person. And to hear you tear into your own son on a day like today dishonors Beverly's memory. We've been married for thirty-eight years. I wouldn't trade them for anything. But if you can't find a generous place in your heart for your own son, we're not going to make it to thirty-nine.

MATTIE FAE: Y'know, I'm not proud of this.
BARBARA: Really. You people amaze me. What, were you drunk? Was this just some—?
MATTIE FAE: I wasn't drunk, no. Maybe it's hard for you to believe, looking at me, knowing me the way you do, all these years. I know to you, I'm just your old fat Aunt Mattie Fae. But I'm more than that, sweetheart … there's more to me than that. Charlie's right, of course. As usual. I don't know why Little Charles is such a disappointment to me. Maybe he … well, I don't know why. I guess I'm disappointed for him, more than anything. I made a mistake, a long time ago. Well, okay. Fair enough. I've paid for it. But the mistake ends here.
BARBARA: If Ivy found out about this, it would destroy her.
MATTIE FAE: I'm sure as hell not gonna tell her. You have to find a way to stop it. You have to put a stop to it.
BARBARA: Why me?
MATTIE FAE: You said you were running things.

BARBARA: Goddamn it, listen to me: I tried to protect you—
IVY: We'll go anyway. We'll still go away, and you will never see me again.
BARBARA: Don't leave me like this.
IVY: You will never see me again.

BBC Four Lives: What happened in each case of the victims of 'Grindr Killer' Stephen Port
A new BBC drama is set to shed light on the tragic and dramatic events that unfolded in Barking seven years ago
Ertan KarpazliReporter
Stephen Port (Image: PA)
It has been seven years since the "Grindr Killer" Stephen Port started his 16-month murder spree, which claimed the lives of four young men, yet details about his atrocious crimes are still coming to light.
On Bank Holiday Monday, January 3, BBC One will air the first of three episodes of Four Lives, a new drama covering the shocking events that shook London and the UK between 2014 and 2015.
Police were slow to notice the pattern, as later investigations revealed that certain leads were not chased up and a number of protocols were not followed properly.
Here's what happened in each case:
READ MORE: Families of Stephen Port's victims accuse the Met Police of homophobia in 'disturbingly incompetent' investigation
Stephen Port's victims: Daniel Whitworth, Jack Taylor, Anthony Walgate and Gabriel Kovari (Image: Metropolitan Police/PA)
Anthony Walgate
Port's first victim was reported to police by Port himself.
After dialling 999 on June 19, 2014, Port informed the emergency services that there was a young man unconscious outside his property.
Anthony Walgate was found wearing his underwear back to front and inside out, which police said was "unusual, not necessarily suspicious or sinister".
Investigators were not informed that Port, who made the call, had previously been accused of rape and was known to the authorities.
Anthony Walgate, 23, was a victim of serial killer Stephen Port (Image: Metropolitan Police/PA Wire)
Despite clear bruising under the victim's arms, indicating that he had been dragged before or after death, police ruled that there were no indications that he had been assaulted.
Swabs taken by forensic teams at the scene were also not forwarded for DNA testing.
The case was trusted to inexperienced police officers, which meant that many things that would have normally been followed up were not. Friends and family of the victim believed police were ruling out murder and assuming Walgate had overdosed on drugs because he was a gay sex worker.
Gabriel Kovari
Gabriel Kovari was the second of Port's victims. His body was discovered on August 28, 2014, slumped on a bench in a graveyard in Barking.
Even though he had recently contacted a friend, sending pictures of himself from inside Port's home before he died, police did not look any further into his death.
Rather, they claimed that his death was not suspicious, and therefore the area was not treated as a crime scene.
Port also murdered Gabriel Kovari, 22 (Image: Metropolitan Police/PA Wire)
Another friend of the victim, and Kovari's boyfriend in Spain, provided information to the police that could have led them to Port, but these leads were not followed up.
The victim, who was originally from Slovakia, was also misidentified by a family liaison officer as being Lithuanian. Kovari's family were not informed about his death.
Daniel Whitworth
Daniel Whitworth was found on September 20, 2014 in the same graveyard Kovari had been found a mere three weeks earlier.
This time the death was treated as suspicious, but forensics teams failed to examine vital items found on him that had Port's fingerprints and DNA on them.
In a suicide note planted on Whitworth by Port, Whitworth claims responsibility for Kovari's death.
Whitworth's long-term boyfriend was not able to gain access to the letter for a year, and when he did, he was alarmed by the letter's lack of mention of family members, as well as a line referring to Port which read "don't blame the guy I was with last night", but police initially thought "the guy" was a homeless man who had been sleeping rough in the graveyard that night.

Had police properly investigated the claims made in the suicide note, they would have also realised that Whitworth and Kovari were not known to each other, and that Whitworth was not in Barking when Kovari died.
Jack Taylor
Jack Taylor was found on September 14, 2015. Police initially failed to link his death with the previous three deaths in the area the year prior despite several obvious similarities.
Taylor's family, who had conducted their own investigation, found it difficult to believe the victim could have taken drugs owing to his strict anti-drug stance, yet police told them there was no reason to think his death was connected to the previous three.
However, almost by mere chance, one detective who was working on the Walgate case was able to establish a link after coming across a CCTV still of Taylor with Port on the night of his death.
It was only then that further investigations were made, and Port was connected to the deaths of Kovari and Whitworth as well.

The European Convention on Human Rights or the Lisbon Treaty for member States of the European Union respect religions or spiritual movements. National laws also protect freedom of conscience and worship for nationals of States countries of the Council of Europe while ensuring equality between women and men. We question the fate of this equality among places of worship.
We have sent a questionnaire and we received around 1000 answers. Specialists are working on it, but we can say that if equality between women and men, was really respected, with no discrimination, people could accept to practise again.
A very important number of people was there from the different pilars of the Council of Europe. The panelists were at the highest level and each representative of religions affirmed that there was no obstacle from theology. Elena Centemero, Italian Parliamentarian, Chairperson of the Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe opened the debates, and, Gulsun Bilgehan, Turkish parliamentarian, Former Chairperson of the Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination, Chairperson of the Media and Information Society sub‑committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, closed them.
22 june 2016, at the same place, Council of Europe, it was the time for discussions, and a lot of speakers and participants came back. It was productive and show a real interest for these questions.
We have registered the debates of the 2 days,. Anybody who will be able to assist preparing the notes into a proper paper: please contact Anne via Boarduwe@gmail.com!

This session was particularly important as elections for the new standing comittee were due to take place on the 29 th (election of a president, vice presidents and rapporteurs). Besides that there was also the election of a gender expert as the term of Betty Doornendal ended in 2015.
Anna Rurka was elected président and three vice présidents two women Antonina DASHKINA (a social worker) Laura FRATTI GUCCI ( an economist) and Israel MENSAH ( a prominent educationist) a very good team to lead the new Standing Committee. Regarding the post of the gender expert three persons were candidates but one had to withdraw because of health problems and from the two remaining Anne NEGRE introduced by UWE and Rosy WEISS introduced by IAW , Anne NEGRE was elected . The expert has a seat at the standing Committee to present ( and defend) gender issues as a cross cutting issue.
On Monday 26th The standing committee of the Conférence and its Bureau met in the morning and some working groups met in the afternoon.
A s a consequence a resolution was presented to the Parliamentary Assembly by the Conference of INGOs after a vote in plenary session the following Thursday. The Commissions on Human Rights met in the afternoon. Commission on Education and Culture had a fascinating intervention of two specialists of the new technologies with discusssion from the floor . The main event was the meeting of the Conference of INGOs all day the 29th with a heavy agenda that included procedures for the elections, different reports as well as two important hearings. One on Strategic priorities for the promotion of civil society to the decisions process in UKRAINE. The second an exchange and discussion with a delegation from Morocco as part of the proceses of cooperation of CoE , Lisbon Center and the countries of the Mediterranean area.
NB : The Council of Europe House of Demoracy is an Inter parliamentary European institution and gender equality is recognized as a value for democracy . However it is not a specific program as such . At the time of restructuration the Commission on Equality for women and men was suppressed. We must give credit to our friend Anje Wiersinga from IAW who established an informal group , mobilized the women INGOs to obtain a post of gender expert ,is keeping watch on the parliamentary Commissions to remind them of the gender issues The gender expert should closely cooperate with this existing women's group that is meeting ay every sessions of the INGO Conference.

it took me about two hours to clear out the pea patch this morning. it took two of us three hours to shell them all! we got just over 3 1/4 kilos of peas, more than enough to take us well into the fall or even winter. i'll likely plant a small second crop in august to harvest in the fall.
tomorrow the fava bean come in and none too soon. they are being attacked by black aphids in the zillions. i hose the little buggers off but they seem to climb right back up.

Rivers: Adding Danny Woodhead elevated Chargers offense
Forrest Lee
Special to USA TODAY Sports
Woodhead caught 70 passes in regular season%2C and led all NFL backs with six TD catches
Versatile player had 1%2C034 total yards this season - including the first rushing TD of his career
At 5-8%2C 200 pounds%2C Woodhead adds dimension team lost when Darren Sproles left for Saints in 2010
SAN DIEGO – He wasn't the splashiest free-agent acquisition of the offseason, but Danny Woodhead has sparkled as bright as any.
"Danny's been awesome," said San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers of his backfield mate. "Any time you have a running back that has 70 catches, I don't know exactly how many carries he has had, but he has ran the ball effectively for us all year long and he is just so versatile. It's been great to have him as a part of our team.
"I've said this all the way back earlier in the year. And no disrespect to any of our other free-agent signings this season because we needed every one of them, but he was the one I was most excited about, just because of what he can bring to an offense. He has lived up to every one of our expectations."
Woodhead, who said he had no expectations or personal goals when he joined the Chargers after three seasons with the New England Patriots, has experienced a career year. Despite serving as Ryan Mathews' backup and sharing time with Ronnie Brown, Woodhead became arguably the NFL's most versatile running back.
And with Mathews' questionable status – he's been hobbling with an ankle injury since a Week 15 victory over the Oakland Raiders and hasn't practiced this week – Woodhead could be a key when the Chargers visit the Denver Broncos in Sunday's AFC divisional playoffs.
"When Danny's played, he's made big plays for us, so I hope he plays a big role for us Sunday," said San Diego offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt with a grin, keeping his plans to himself. "He makes a lot of plays for us."
Woodhead led NFL running backs with six touchdown catches and finished second in receptions with 76 for 605 yards during the regular season. He rushed for 429 yards and two touchdowns in 106 attempts (4.0 yards per carry) for 1,034 yards and eight touchdowns overall. He also earned his first career rushing TD, a 5-yard run in the first quarter of the Chargers' 27-10 romp over the Cincinnati Bengals in Sunday's wild-card game.
Despite all he's done, Woodhead gives Rivers the credit.
"He's a quarterback that's obviously elite, and he can mesh with anyone," Woodhead said. "It's definitely been good with our relationship on the field."
That relationship has translated off the field, too.
"He's a great teammate, great leader and great friend,'' Woodhead said. "I'm happy to be a teammate of his.''
Woodhead frequently is a trump card for Rivers.
Woodhead has not gotten lost in the shuffle despite a number of Chargers turning in great offensive seasons. Tight end Antonio Gates has had another strong year, wide receiver and former Bronco Eddie Royal caught a career-high eight touchdowns, rookie Keenan Allen emerged as a reliable wide out and NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate, and Mathews had his best season with 1,255 rushing yards.
Instead Woodhead has added a dimension to the offense missing since Darren Sproles bolted to New Orleans in 2010.
"He's been the guy who can do a little of everything for us," Royal said. "Some people call him the 'X' factor. But he's come in and run routes, run the ball and he's a good blocker. I think what a lot of people learned about him this year is how well he runs the ball out of the backfield. I know a lot people knew he could catch the ball out of the backfield, but he's showed this year how good of a running back he is.
"I think we all benefit on offense. When he's in the game, it keeps the defense off-balance. If he's in the backfield, you don't know if he's going to run the ball or split out because he runs routes like a receiver. He's a threat anytime he's in the game."
The veteran Brown has been impressed, too.
"He adds versatility to our offense and obviously we can put him in a lot of different spots," said Brown, who said the Chargers running game has thrived because the trio roots for each other and is more concerned with the team's success than individual achievement. "That helps to make defenses to study something extra."
Add extra elements such as desire and versatility to Woodhead's game and you have a player with an unlimited passion to win, Rivers said.
"Obviously, I know he's probably been told he's too small his whole life," said Rivers of the 5-foot-8 (and that might be a stretch), 200-pounder. "He's one strong, fast football player. He hasn't surprised us by what he's done this year. I've had respect for him from afar in New England. Obviously, he's had more opportunities this year and he's made the most of all of them."
A victory in Denver would propel the Chargers into their first AFC Championship Game since the 2007 season, when they lost to New England.
"We're excited about being in the playoffs," Woodhead said. "We're going to prepare as hard as we can for this one. They're a great team. It's going to be a hostile environment. It's going to be a lot of fun."
Woodhead isn't thinking about a possible return to New England. If the Chargers and Patriots both prevail this weekend, San Diego would travel to New England for the AFC Championship Game.
"I'm not worried about that right now," he said. "I'm more so worried about what we can do this weekend. I'm not worried about what's after."

A Fracturing Berg in the Polar Night
July 21, 2017JPEG
July 21, 2017TIFF
When a massive iceberg first broke away from Antarctica's Larsen C ice shelf sometime between July 10-12, 2017, scientists knew it would eventually start breaking apart. That's the normal life cycle of a drifting iceberg, which is at the mercy of the ocean's battering currents, tides, and winds. Already those forces have turned A-68 into two named bergs, A-68A and A-68B, as well as a handful of pieces too small to be named by the U.S. National Ice Center.
In the two weeks following the initial break, satellite imagery has documented the iceberg's motion. The southern end appears to have slammed into a mix of floating ice above Gipps Ice Rise—the bump of snow- and ice-covered bedrock visible in the lower right of the image. Then the berg rebounded and its northern end swung back toward the just opened rift. The resulting impact caused both the berg's north end and the ice shelf to fracture.
"The back-and-forth movement of A-68 looks akin to maneuvering a parallel-parked car out of a tight parking space—like an Austin Powers three-point turn," said Christopher Shuman, a cryospheric scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
The fractured berg and shelf are visible in these images, acquired on July 21, 2017, by the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) on the Landsat 8 satellite. The false-color view shows the relative warmth or coolness across the region. White indicates where the ice or water surface is warmest, most notably in the widening strip of mélange between the main iceberg and the remaining ice shelf. Dark grays and blacks are the coldest areas of ice.
So far, the calving and fracturing has taken place under the dark cover of polar night during Antarctica's austral winter. That makes thermal imagery from satellites a critical tool for "seeing" the action. Adrian Luckman of the UK-based Project MIDAS first saw the berg break away in thermal data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), before Sentinel radar data became available later on July 12.
The thermal view above shows a remarkable amount of detail. The bright signature of relatively warm ocean water appears around A-68B, which broke off sometime between late July 13 and early July 14. More subtle fractures north of A-68B are visible on the shelf; these pieces will eventually break free and move out to sea with the rest of the ice.
All of the ice pieces large and small are subject to the water currents of the Weddell Gyre and the strong weather systems that can whip up blinding snow and blanket the region in clouds for many days at a time. This same ocean circulation that will eventually move the bergs northward toward South Georgia Island.
In the meantime, scientists will have to wait until August—the end of polar night here—to get their first natural-color images since the long-growing Larsen C rift became a complete break.

SPX came down from its peak on March 21, then made a 65% retracement of its decline. The rally is over 13 weeks long with the Economic Surprise Index at a 6-year low.
SPX reversed above Long-term support to retest the 3-year trendline again. The rally is over 11 weeks long with the Economic Surprise Index at a six-year low.
After nearly a month above Long-term support at 2747.53, SPX declined and closed beneath it this week. This puts it on a sell signal with a potential of retesting the December low.
SPX lost its upward momentum as it hit the .786% Fibonacci retracement level on Monday. Since then it has consolidated in a narrow range above its supports at 2775.00. It was 62 calendar days from the December 26 low to the February 25 high.
Markets around the world have started the year on a tear encouraged by easing trade tensions, a more dovish-sounding Federal Reserve and signs that China is bolstering its economy.
SPX rose above Long-term resistance at 2743.91 last week, completing 8 weeks of rally from the Christmas low.The current period of strength may run out early next week.
E How Soon The Recession?
The SPX continued the rally into its (inverted) Master Cycle high yesterday, finding resistance at the lower trendline of its Broadening Wedge Formation. Cycles require meeting both time and price targets.
VIX may have reached a second Master Cycle low in less than a month, patterned after the May-June lows last year.
VIX has spent the past week beneath mid-Cycle support/resistance and the 200-day Moving Average at 16.63.
SPX rallied through Intermediate-term resistance at 2654.84, closing short of Long-term resistance at 2727.40. After five weeks of unbroken gains, the rally needs a rest.
VIX has been treading water between its 200-day support at 16.58 and 50-day resistance at 21.66 since January 18.
SPX declined to Short-term support at 2599.18 on Tuesday, then bounced back to retest Intermediate-term resistance at 2665.37, leaving a flat week.There is a probable Head & Shoulders neckline that may indicate the target of this decline.
SPX extended its rally to test Intermediate-term resistance at 2680.03. It has met the 50% retracement of its decline at 2644.00. Thus far it has been 16 market days from the December 26 low.
E Is It Time Yet?
VIX extended its Master Cycle low to futures and options expiration.
SPX continued its rally up to its Head & Shoulders neckline at 2595.00 and Short-term resistance at 2617.36, where it bogged down in the end of the week. These are critical tests that it must pass to remain bullish. SPX is not out of the woods.
SPX continued its rally after a bounce from its 7-year trendline last week. However, it is likely to retest the uptrend from the October 2011 low at 2350.00 again. The media is upbeat, but the SPX is not out of the woods.

Locking Down Community
Posted on May 9, 2013	by coopgeek
The day before the Boston Marathon bombing a friend suggested that I read Rebecca Solnit's 2008 book, A Paradise Built in Hell. It turned out to be perfect timing, much in the way that my reading of Jared Diamond's Collapse as Hurricane Katrina gathered strength provided a fascinating lens through which to observe the devastation wrought by the storm itself and the government's flailing response.
Solnit's main argument is that people tend to behave well in disasters while elites often panic as their usual control breaks down. She provides a devastating critique of how elites and their command-and-control structures are ill-suited for the chaos following disaster.
I recommend Solnit's challenging but ultimately encouraging book to everyone. But if you want just a taste of her thinking, her essay "Unpacking for Disaster" underlines the ways in which letting fear drive our thoughts is counterproductive as we face the challenges and opportunities that come with disaster. Please at least read that.
Solnit's claims are supported by current events including the grassroots recovery work of Occupy Sandy, which continues to this day. We can also see Solnit's analysis supported by the mutual aid exhibited in West, Texas; in the wake of a truly devastating industrial accident the community of West is rebuilding while formal "relief" efforts are marginally helpful and sometimes disruptive.
Solnit also illustrates how media coverage tends to support the elite's reading of the crisis, emphasizing awful details – real and rumored – that serve to stampede the public into accepting the suspension of its freedom – including the freedom to attempt its own solutions to whatever crisis it faces.
What Solnit calls "elite panic" – including sending in the troops to ostensibly protect a community from itself – has also been on display in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing, coverage of which seems to have been distorted to favor technological or military solutions of the sort delivered by government.
In fact, community should actually get credit. Dzokhar Tsarnaev was discovered by a citizen who stepped out for a smoke only after the siege was lifted.
The coverage of Tsarnaev's capture was plagued with many falsehoods of this sort. One narrative claimed that whiz-bang technology like newfangled thermal imaging system was what helped a helicopter "find" him.
And numerous articles suggested causation by saying the arrest "followed" the lockdown. I even saw one article claiming that the invasion of Watertown by a joint police/military force "led to" Tsarnaev's capture (this article seems to have been withdrawn or edited – which is good – although the damage has been done as most people never notice quiet retractions of hysterical rumors).
Make no mistake – the government's attempt to find Tsarnaev was an invasion using techniques practiced in Iraq and Afghanistan including military police pointing their guns at neighbors who dared to peer out at them. That the neighborhood was generally receptive to such an invasion does not alter its obviously warlike character.
Imagine another scenario: Instead of being immigrants of an obscure ethnicity with no connections to Watertown, what if the Tsarnaev brothers were part of a large marginalized community? And what if their flight had ended where they and their neighbors had already suffered years or generations of profiling, harassment and suspicion?
Things could have turned out quite differently with all those hair-triggers in Humvees. Watertown could have easily started looking like Fallujah or Kandahar with one overreaction sparking tit-for-tat responses. We got lucky this time.
Even so, we should expect this now-established precedent – previously displayed in New Orleans – to be repeated even in cases where the public has a less antagonistic relationship with the fugitive, such as following a civil disturbance.
Perhaps in the absence of the lockdown, the neighbor who discovered Tsarnaev might have gone to work and a Red Sox game and noticed Tsarnaev only after he died of blood loss. We can't know that. What we do know is that the official response yielded its desired results neither in the declared search area nor outside of it, gave people misplaced fear (inside) or complacency (outside) and led the pursuers away from their target by making an official claim that he was in area X and not in area Y while making it extremely unlikely that anyone would discover him by chance in either zone.
Even so, the public seems to like the lockdown, with all the spectacle of an action movie. A Huffington Post/YouGov poll indicated that sixty percent of respondents said that the lockdown helped catch the suspect, while only 18 percent said that it made no difference and 4 percent said that it hurt efforts to catch the suspects.
Remember that the lockdown actually prevented Tsarnaev's discovery and capture.
We must listen critically to government's claims that the invasion of Watertown was a success – and that we therefore can't trust our own judgment in an emergency. The government's judgment is what should be suspect: For starters the geography of the lockdown was nonsensical as downtown and even the far southeastern reaches of Boston were shut down while the relatively close-by suburbs were not (despite the fact that they were in the direction in which the brothers had been headed and in which Tsarnaeve could be expected to continue).
And as a threatening new strain of influenza kills one in five people it infects – despite all top-down efforts to contain it – we should ponder how governments might respond to an invisible and rapidly-spreading pandemic. Most likely we'll see draconian crackdowns and geographic quarantines of exactly the sort that failed to catch a single badly-wounded teenager whose face was all over the internet and television. Do we really believe this approach will catch an unknown and growing number of infected people, including those without symptoms?
Granted, quarantine is a time-tested response that is effective in dealing with identified cases of illness as well as those believed to be infected due to specific exposures or circumstances. But if Hollywood is any guide – which Solnit points out it should not be – such quarantines will not be the communal suffering of the old-style sick ward. Instead, we are more likely to see a terrifying lockdown in which government enforcers (presumably wearing respirators and heavily-armed) will prevent us from caring for our neighbors whether they are ill, healthy or of unknown health status.
So what do we do about this? The government's default reflex is clear enough and I doubt it can be stopped when the next disaster hits. A softer approach that resists sharp geographical lockdowns would heighten vigilance outside any official red zone without suspending the liberty and lives of those inside, but admittedly might not work.
And there's the rub.
As with terrorism, or earthquakes, or industrial explosions, we ultimately can't guarantee anything will protect us from harm. Maybe we will fall down the stairs of our apocalyptic underground bunker.
What's left is to mitigate that harm and accept risk as part of life.
We should not accept the foolish notion that allowing the forced shutdown of community, the economy and society as a whole will somehow save us from whatever we fear. Rather, we should honestly consider Solnit's conclusions – based on the academic work of sociologists who study disaster for a living – and embrace each other even in the most difficult of times.
Especially in the most difficult of times.

The genomic basis of adaptation to novel environments is a fundamental prob- lem in evolutionary biology that has gained additional importance in the light of the recent discussion about global change. Here, we combined experimental evolution in Drosophila melanogaster with the genome-wide next-generation sequencing of DNA pools to identify alleles that are favorable in a different laboratory environment and traced their trajectories during the adaptive process. We applied logistic regression analysis to detect alleles that showed changes over time using the maximum likelihood method. After applying Bonferroni correction to adjust for multiple comparisons we found 12,166 significant genetic markers using a logistic regression approach whereas the commonly used Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test identified 2254 significant genetic markers. Our results provide a useful tool for testing the time-dependency of allele frequencies in genome-wide evolutionary experiment data.
Keywords : Drosophila, evolutionary experiment, high-throughput sequencing, genome- wide test, logistic regression.
