Innate immunity has been considered only to provide rapid, incomplete antimicrobial host defense until the slower, more definitive acquired immune response develops. However, innate immunity may have an additional role in determining which antigens the acquired immune system responds to and the nature of that response. Knowledge of the molecules and pathways involved may create new therapeutic options for infectious and autoimmune diseases.

Max, where the special is scheduled to air, held a presentation on Wednesday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour, where chief content officer Kevin Reilly said that he's still waiting on a green light.
"There is interest all around and yet we can't get the interests all alighted to push the button on it", HBO Max's Chief Creative Officer Kevin Reilly said about the reunion special at TCA.
The biggest challenge, according to Deadline, is the production of studio Warner Bros. and the six cast members reflect on contract negotiations.

Since the parties are at a monetary impasse, the special may not be ready for HBO Max's spring launch, which may put the streaming service at a disadvantage with NBCUniversal's Peacock also set to debut that season. The streamer shelled out $425 million for rights to the hugely popular sitcom, which has emerged as one of Netflix's biggest hits.
"It was really hard for us to have done this for so many years where you would develop a show, market the show, launch the show and then sell ... over to these streaming services, who really were not partnered with you in the holistic management of that property". "The show was about that time in life when friends are your family", she explained, adding that life changes when your family becomes your family. "We're not planning to bring the Cinemax content into the [HBO Maz] overall", said Michael Quigley. "We received it correct, and we attach a bow on it".

What are the best Historic Sites in Austria?
There's a host of top Historic Sites in Austria to visit and among the very best are Schonbrunn Palace, Hofburg Imperial Palace and the Vienna State Opera. Other popular sites include Hohensalzburg Fortress, Salzburg Cathedral and Salzburg Catacombs.
We've put together an experts guide to Austrian Cultural Places, Landmarks and Monuments with our top ten places to visit as well as a full list of Historic Sites in Austria, which shouldn't be ignored if you have the time.
The Vienna State Opera House dates back to 20 December 1857, when Emperor Franz Josef made his intention to expand Vienna's public buildings known.
Construction of the Vienna State Opera House formed part of this controversial scheme and its design was awarded to architects August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Nüll, neither of whom lived to see its completion on 25 May 1869. They designed the State Opera House in a renaissance style which is still prominent today, despite the building's destruction on 12 March 1945 in World War II by American bombing raids.
The State Opera House was rebuilt after the war, including restoring its original façade, and the first performance of Fidelio by Beethoven was held there on 5 November 1955. Today, the State Opera House houses the world famous Vienna Philharmonic.
Guided tours of the building are available and include the entrance foyer, the main staircase, the marble room, Schwind foyer and the Gustav Mahler room as well as a tour of the auditorium, but only at specific times – you can find out more by calling ahead.
The nearby Vienna State Opera Museum displays a series of exhibitions relating to the building and its history since 1955. Of course, another way to tour the Vienna State Opera is to buy a ticket to a performance, but do so far in advance as these are very popular.
Mozart's Birthplace has been transformed into a museum of the composer's life. Set over three floors, the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is also where he lived on the third floor with his sister and parents from his birth on 27 January 1756 until 1773.
The rooms are in their original state and include artefacts such as some of his instruments, documents, keepsakes and portraits. Guided tour and mobile phone text guide are available.
As a guide, the visit usually lasts 1.5 hours.
The two magnificent Baroque Belvedere palaces – Upper and Lower – are the most visited cultural sites in Vienna. They were built in the early years of the 18th century as a summer residence by Prince Eugene of Savoy, one of the Holy Roman Empire's most distinguished statesmen and military commanders. Napoleon himself considered Eugene to be one of the seven greatest commanders in history. Amongst other treasures, the Upper Belvedere holds the world's greatest collection of paintings by Gustav Klimt.
Built by world-renowned Baroque architect Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt, Lower ('Unteres') Belvedere where Prince Eugene lived was completed in 1716 and Upper ('Oberes') Belvedere – so named because it sits on higher ground – in 1724. The two are connected by a spectacular garden designed by pre-eminent Parisian garden designer Dominique Girard, a pupil of the principal gardener to King Louis XIV, André Le Nôtre, designer the park of the Palace of Versailles.
The Lower Belvedere Palace where the prince lived includes the Marble Gallery with plaster medallions of the Greek god Apollo, the Grotesque Hall's detailed wall paintings and the richly decorated Sale Terrene and Garden Pavilion.
The Upper Belvedere Palace contains one of Austria's – and perhaps Europe's – finest art collections. Prince Eugene was a famous patron of the arts and was an avid collector of 16th and 17th century Italian, Dutch and Flemish art. On your tour of the Upper Palace you'll find art from the Middle Ages as well as the world's largest collection of Gustav Klimt paintings including 'The Kiss' and 'Judith'. You will also see works by Monet, Van Gogh, Amerling, Fendi, Rottmayr and Troger as well as grimacing character heads by German-Austrian sculptor Franz Xaver Messerschmidt.
English-language tours of the palaces and the Orangery are available and if you're an art lover, you can join some amazing restoration and conservation workshops.
Salzburg Cathedral is the centre of this historical Austrian city's ecclesiastical community. Whilst the city's first cathedral was built there in 767, Salzburg Cathedral has been built, destroyed, reconstructed and expanded numerous times and has been consecrated three times.
In 1167, Salzburg Cathedral was destroyed when the city was set alight by the Counts of Plain. Despite being reconstructed, it was subject to yet another fire in 1598, which ravaged large parts of it. Much controversy followed, as the archbishop of the time tore down the entire church rather than trying to preserve its remaining parts.
Salzburg Cathedral's final incarnation took shape in the 17th century, when architect Markus Sittikus was commissioned to design a new cathedral. Sittikus designed Salzburg Cathedral in a Baroque style with a majestic marble façade crowned with green domes and flanked by towers, a style which was new to the region.
The cathedral was consecrated in 1628, having managed to avoid the conflict of the Thirty Years' War. Since then, Salzburg Cathedral's dome was destroyed and rebuilt when it was struck by bombing raids in 1944. The new dome and cathedral were then consecrated once again in 1959 and dedicated to Saint Rupert of Salzburg. His statue stands in front of Salzburg Cathedral, together with those of the apostles Peter and Paul and Saint Virgil.
Inside the ornate interior of Salzburg Cathedral, one can find the place where composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was baptized and also where he composed many of his musical pieces.
The Salzburg Catacombs are series of mausoleums carved into the face of the Mönchsberg rock by the city's St. Peter's Cemetery. St. Peter's Cemetery (Petersfriedhof) was built in 1627, making it Salzburg's oldest graveyard.
St Peter's Cemetery is the resting place of several eminent people including the composer, Michael Haydn, the architect of Salzburg Cathedral, Sanction Solaria and Mozart's sister, Mannerly. The historic Salzburg Catacombs overlook this beautiful cemetery and are accessible via a stone staircase.
Inside the Salzburg Catacombs, visitors can wander through the altars, deciphering their fascinating inscriptions and taking in the murals.
It is unknown as to when the Salzburg Catacombs were originally constructed, but they are believed to have been built by early Christians.
Mauthausen Concentration Camp or 'KZ Mauthausen' was a vast Nazi concentration camp in northern Austria. First established in 1938, Mauthausen Concentration Camp was built through the slave labour of prisoners from another such camp, Dachau. Over time, it grew to encompass a number of sub-camps, such as Gusen Concentration Camp.
Prisoners at Mauthausen Concentration Camp included those labelled as criminals, but were mainly comprised of anyone opposed to the Nazi regime, especially on a political or ideological basis. At a later stage, large numbers of Jews from concentration camps like Auschwitz were also transported there.
Like in all such Nazi camps, prisoners at Mauthausen were subject to numerous ongoing atrocities, such as starvation, torture, overcrowding and slave labour. Inmates at Mauthausen Concentration Camp were quite literally worked to death in the camp's quarries and munitions factories, while the Nazis reaped the financial benefits of their work. Those who didn't perish as a result of hard labour were liable to die of disease, malnourishment or to be killed in gas chambers.
Over 119,000 of the almost 200,000 prisoners at Mauthausen Concentration Camp had died there by the time it was liberated by American forces on 5 May 1945.
Today, Mauthausen Concentration Camp is open to the public, who can see the original camp and the terrible conditions to which prisoners were subjected. There is a visitor centre and many memorials to the different national, ethnic and religious groups who suffered at Mauthausen.
Carnuntum Archaeological Park in Austria contains both reconstructed and original remains from this once-thriving and strategically vital Roman city.
The site is made up of a number of different attractions spread across a rather large area. Fascinating Roman ruins sit amongst restored and entirely reconstructed buildings, designed to bring visitors back in time to experience what life would have been like here in the Roman era.
Roman influence first took hold at Carnuntum in the early Julio-Claudian period. At the time the Danube was vital to Rome's defence and the site was chosen as an important defensive sector and home to Rome's 15th Legion. The Emperor Claudius also recognised the potential of the city, erecting a military camp designed to hold 6000 men while the city became the Carnuntum capital of the province of Upper Pannonia.
From the early second century the 14th legion, one of Rome's most formidable, was stationed at Carnuntum - a testament to the city's growing importance. With a permanent military garrison in place, and great potential for trade, a thriving civilian city expanded at Carnuntum and it soon became one of the largest and most important Roman cities in the region.
It was in 308AD, however, at a conference between the four Emperors of the Tetrarchy that Carnuntum would play its part in vital Roman - and world - history. After tough negotiations at Carnuntum, an end to the persecution of Christians and a universal tolerance of religion was proclaimed throughout the Empire.
With the increasing instability of the later-Roman empire, Carnuntum's position on the border left it vulnerable. The city suffered greatly during the Barbarian Invasions and was gradually abandoned and fell to ruin.
Today visitors to Carnuntum can explore the remains of this Roman city - including the ruins of the military camp, amphitheatre and civilian and religious buildings - while also discovering the many full reconstructions built at the site.
These architectural reconstructions were produced largely with traditional Roman tools and craftsmanship and are said to be among the most accurate representations of Roman life in the fourth century ever produced. Fully functional, they are not simply museum pieces but instead welcome visitors to experience vibrant Roman life and society as it actually was.
Visitors can amass the dignitas and gloria of genuine Roman senators as they walk through the city's buildings, particularly the Villa Urbana which showcases the luxury afforded to the wealthiest of the residents.
The archaeological site includes an important temple area which predates the Roman conversion to Christianity and celebrates one of the most important of Roman gods, Jupiter Optimus Maximus. Another highlight is the amphitheatre which was the centre of the Roman entertainment and home to the legendary Gladiator fights. The site's other attractions include the remains of large public baths, an impressive Roman monument known as the Heidentor (Heathens' Gate), while the museum is also a must see.
It is worth noting that the site is set out across a large area, with significant distance between the various attractions. It is therefore advisable to be prepared for these long walks when visiting.
Beyond the most famous Austrian Cultural Places, Landmarks and Monuments, there's many similar places to visit, including Mauthausen Concentration Camp, Carnuntum and Burggarten Palmenhaus to name but a few. We're constantly expanding this list of Historic Sites in Austria and you can view the current selection below.

A Third Palestinian Intifada in the Making
Global Research, November 01, 2008
Theme: Crimes against Humanity
At a recent conference I was repeatedly asked about the prospects for a third Palestinian uprising, or Intifada. The question, although seemingly uncomplicated, is both loaded and important, and cannot be answered in a mere two minutes or less.
A 'third Intifada' would imply that the second has already ended. But has it? Or did it simply lose momentum, sense of focus and direction, or were its energies squandered – as a popular uprising – on factional disputes and internal division?
Some of its initial leaders are no longer involved, and a cohesive uprising cannot exist if too many of its players have switched sides, changed roles, or are absent altogether. To approach this subject more practically, the first Intifada in 1987 must be thoroughly scrutinized.
Palestinian collective revolts are not a singular response to singular problems caused by outsiders, for example the British mandate, Zionist colonial designs, Israeli occupation, and so on. What is often missed are the internal factors which anger the Palestinian masses, such as their leadership's failures, divisions, u-turns, corruption, nepotism, and so on.
The 1987 uprising was consistent with this model, although it certainly inspired a paradigm shift. On one hand, it was a collective cry for justice and an earnest attempt at ending an Israeli occupation of Palestinian land occupied in 1967. But it also represented the instinctive desire to reclaim the Palestinian struggle, which had for long been managed from abroad: Jordan, Lebanon, then, more or less, Tunisia.
There was a permeating awareness among Palestinians in the occupied territories that their plight had turned into power struggles between various factions based in various Arab capitals, and that their disputes were hardly ideological, but more pertinent to issues of control, money and status.
The first uprising quickly formulated its own ideas, mechanisms and symbols, all reflecting the unity of purpose among Palestinians. In fact the overt emphasis on "national unity" in the Intifada's symbols and slogans was a clear sign of Palestinian denunciation of disunity and factionalism.
Although the Israeli response to the first Intifada was lethal, it hardly compares to the more violent response to the second uprising of 2000. The Israeli government wanted to crush the revolt before it developed a rhythm and turned into a long-term, popular commitment. Israel also operated with the erroneous assumption that the uprising was manufactured by the late Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) leader, Yasser Arafat, to extract political concessions.
The fact is both Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) – assembled following the 1993 Oslo Accords as an alternative to the all encompassing PLO – were caught by complete surprise when Palestinians took to the streets in defiance, not just against the Israeli occupation, but also the wavering attitudes and rampant corruption that pervaded their own leadership.
If we must accept that the second Intifada is over, or was ended by the infighting between Fatah and Hamas, then an examination of its outcomes is necessary. Although the second Intifada has not brought an end to the Israeli occupation, it certainly has made a serious impact on the political institutions in Palestine. It has given rise to another leadership, that of Hamas, and forced a major rethink within the once leading movement, Fatah.
The second uprising greatly undermined the PA, and therefore the Oslo accords that brought it into existence, highlighting the need for alternative – and truly representative – political institutions, such as a revived version of the PLO.
Indeed, every major Palestinian revolt in the past has resulted in new, unpredictable realities, and despite all attempts, the status quo that defined the pre-revolt periods is often negligible afterwards. New faces, names, priorities, slogans and symbols are often introduced to the mix, although still defined by an everlasting desire for justice, meaningful peace and freedom.
Israel's methods for subduing Palestinians and crushing uprisings have also produced new realities, thresholds and relationships. Methods such as huge walls, new settlements and weapons of mass suppression often complicate the already painful existence of Palestinians living under occupation and result in more revolts.
The first Intifada brought the struggle home, and introduced local leaderships, who competed with the old guard on all fronts, including the right of articulating Palestinian demands and aspirations. The second Intifada saw the Oslo accord and its adjoining 'culture of peace' as a worthless process that failed to improve the dreadful reality on the ground – although it did manage to empower a specific class of Palestinians financially as well as politically.
Now Palestinians find themselves in a transition that has an uncertain outcome. There are more questions than answers: where will the Fatah-Hamas clash lead? Will Fatah carry on while maintaining its current structure? For how long? Will Palestinians continue to adhere to the once uncontested demand for a two-state solution? And how credible is that formula under the current circumstances, where a clear cut separation is complicated if not totally unfeasible? How will the geopolitical split between the West Bank and Gaza play out in coming years?
Palestinian uprisings are often a collective response to hard questions. The chances are the next Intifada – as surely there will always be one as long as the occupation continues – will find again a popular rejection of the ills which have afflicted the Palestinian cause, It would once again reassert the relevance, if not the leading role of the Palestinian people as the real owners of their fate, and guards of their own struggle.

Q: Using threads to parse multiple Html pages faster Here's what I'm trying to do:

*

*Get one html page from url which contains multiple links inside

*Visit each link

*Extract some data from visited link and create object using it

So far All i did is just simple and slow way:
public List<Link> searchLinks(string name)
    {
        List<Link> foundLinks = new List<Link>();
        // getHtmlDocument() just returns HtmlDocument using input url.
        HtmlDocument doc = getHtmlDocument(AU_SEARCH_URL + fixSpaces(name));
        var link_list = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes(@"/html/body/div[@id='parent-container']/div[@id='main-content']/ol[@id='searchresult']/li/h2/a");
        foreach (var link in link_list)
        {
            // TODO Threads

            // getObject() creates object using data gathered
            foundLinks.Add(getObject(link.InnerText, link.Attributes["href"].Value, getLatestEpisode(link.Attributes["href"].Value)));
        }
        return foundLinks;
    }

To make it faster/efficient I need to implement threads, but I'm not sure how i should approach it, because I can't just randomly start threads, I need to wait for them to finish, thread.Join() kind of solves 'wait for threads to finish' problem, but it becomes not fast anymore i think, because threads will be launched after earlier one is finished.

A: The simplest way to offload the work to multiple threads would be to use Parallel.ForEach() in place of your current loop.  Something like this:
Parallel.ForEach(link_list, link =>
{
    foundLinks.Add(getObject(link.InnerText, link.Attributes["href"].Value, getLatestEpisode(link.Attributes["href"].Value)));
});

I'm not sure if there are other threading concerns in your overall code.  (Note, for example, that this would no longer guarantee that the data would be added to foundLinks in the same order.)  But as long as there's nothing explicitly preventing concurrent work from taking place then this would take advantage of threading over multiple CPU cores to process the work.

A: Maybe you should use Thread pool :
Example from MSDN :
using System;
using System.Threading;

public class Fibonacci
{
private int _n;
private int _fibOfN;
private ManualResetEvent _doneEvent;

public int N { get { return _n; } }
public int FibOfN { get { return _fibOfN; } }

// Constructor.
public Fibonacci(int n, ManualResetEvent doneEvent)
{
    _n = n;
    _doneEvent = doneEvent;
}

// Wrapper method for use with thread pool.
public void ThreadPoolCallback(Object threadContext)
{
    int threadIndex = (int)threadContext;
    Console.WriteLine("thread {0} started...", threadIndex);
    _fibOfN = Calculate(_n);
    Console.WriteLine("thread {0} result calculated...", threadIndex);
    _doneEvent.Set();
}

// Recursive method that calculates the Nth Fibonacci number.
public int Calculate(int n)
{
    if (n <= 1)
    {
        return n;
    }

    return Calculate(n - 1) + Calculate(n - 2);
}
}

public class ThreadPoolExample
{
static void Main()
{
    const int FibonacciCalculations = 10;

    // One event is used for each Fibonacci object.
    ManualResetEvent[] doneEvents = new ManualResetEvent[FibonacciCalculations];
    Fibonacci[] fibArray = new Fibonacci[FibonacciCalculations];
    Random r = new Random();

    // Configure and start threads using ThreadPool.
    Console.WriteLine("launching {0} tasks...", FibonacciCalculations);
    for (int i = 0; i < FibonacciCalculations; i++)
    {
        doneEvents[i] = new ManualResetEvent(false);
        Fibonacci f = new Fibonacci(r.Next(20, 40), doneEvents[i]);
        fibArray[i] = f;
        ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(f.ThreadPoolCallback, i);
    }

    // Wait for all threads in pool to calculate.
    WaitHandle.WaitAll(doneEvents);
    Console.WriteLine("All calculations are complete.");

    // Display the results.
    for (int i= 0; i<FibonacciCalculations; i++)
    {
        Fibonacci f = fibArray[i];
        Console.WriteLine("Fibonacci({0}) = {1}", f.N, f.FibOfN);
    }
}
}

Invoking the spirit of ultimate bombshell Jessica Rabbit, and perhaps Madonna-as-Marilyn circa "Material Girl," pop princess Ariana Grande was all va-va-voom and Old Hollywood glamour during her 2015 American Music Awards performance of "Focus."
Taking to the stage in a sweetheart-cut, pink sparkling gown, the tiny singer tossed off her fancy white opera gloves and stripped off her split-leg skirt, crooning against a red velvet draped curtain to a extra-jazzy rendition of her hit Moonlight track.
The show really got started, however, after the curtain lifted to reveal a big white set, full band, and dancers, the tempo of the track kicking up to its typical bold, dancey, trumpet-backed pop version as Ari teetered, shimmied, and clapped her way about the stage in full sass mode.

World smallest tree:- Bonsai is the art of arranging and growing trees in miniature. The Japanese word 'bonsai' means 'they planted'. with careful pruning over many years, these dwarf trees look exactly like a fully grown trees.
Banana tree:- They grow on tropical plants as tall as trees, up to 3m high, the bananas grow on a single stalk, often 70-160 fruit in one bunch. The plant is cut down but grows back again in the next season.
Banana tree
Life-giving fruit:- Lots of products come from the coco palm tree. Boats are made from the trunk, leaves are used for the hut, basket making, mats and hats, the coconut oil, milk, and leaf buds are all edible products that come from this tree.
Why do flowers smell:- To humans, some flowers smell sweet and others smell disgusting. certain flowers, that have an odor of decay are pollinated by flies and sometimes bats. Some insects visit scented flowers to feed on pollen and sweet-smelling nectar. As insects go from flower to flower they spread pollen, which in turn helps to make the seeds for next season's plants.
Where coffee grows:- coffee grows on an evergreen shrub in hot climates. Two seeds or beans grow inside a red cherry-like fruit. These beans are roasted and then grind to make coffee.
Who invented jeans?:- As a sailmaker, Oscar Levi-Strauss, in San-Francisco in 1850. The word 'jeans' may come from 'jene fustien', a strong twill cotton cloth, first made in Genoa. The original jeans were brown until blue denim was used.
Who first made paper:- Paper was first made by wasps! They make paper for their nests by chewing up fragments of wood. The ancient Egyptians made paper from a water reed papyrus- hence the name paper. As early as the second century the Chinese manufactured paper from bamboo fibers, pounded and pulped and left to dry.
Who wrote Cinderella?:- Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella were all written in France by Charles Perrault in the 18th century.
Which US president was born in a log cabin?:- Abraham Lincoln, the president of the USA was born on February 16th, 1809 in a log cabin on the Kentucky frontier. Lincoln grew up on a farm in Indiana. He educated himself and become a lawyer, and in 1861 he was elected president.
Was there a real count Dracula?:- Bram Stoker's novel about Dracula has been popular ever since 1897. Through films, plays, even comic books, everyone is familiar with Count Dracula, the bloodsucking vampire. The original Dracula may have been the 15th-century prince Vlad Tepes. He was an evil, cruel man, but certainly not a vampire.
Did Robin Hood really live in Sherwood Forest?:- This legendary hero was said to have lived in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire during the reign of Richard I who was king from 1189-1199. During this time, Richard the Lionheart was away from England on crusades in the holy land and neglected his duties as king. He left his brother Prince John in charge of the country who, together with the Sherriff of Nottingham, declared Robin Hood an outlaw. According to legend, Robin then became the leader of an outlaw band dressed in Lincoln green and armed with a longbow, who robbed the rich to help the poor.
From the 14th century onward, tales and ballads of this popular hero began to appear, but no one has really been able to prove that Robin Hood existed.

Thousands affected: British Steel collapse is devastating news for workers and the UK industry
British Steel collapse is devastating news for workers and the UK industry.
By Stephanie Bateman
Thursday, 23 May, 2019, 11:10
GMB the steelworkers' union, has described British Steel's collapse as devastating news for workers and UK industry.
Tim Roache, GMB General Secretary, said: "This is devastating news for the thousands of workers in Scunthorpe and across the UK.
"Consecutive UK governments have failed to protect our proud steel heritage, and now this Prime Minister is overseeing its demise.
"Ministers should have been ready to make use of all the options – including nationalisation – in order to save British Steel but they either don't care or wouldn't take off their ideological blinkers to save hard working people and communities.
"GMB demands urgent reassurances on what the future holds for the thousands of British steel workers and their families."

Perfecting Visions, Slaying Cynics (Interview) (1981) by Jeffrey M. Elliot
George Zebrowski (1987) by Elton T. Elliott
Interview with George Zebrowski (2000) by Darrell Schweitzer


Identity and creativity come together with this layered fall look.
Fashion and identity go hand-in-hand, but sometimes your personal style can mean so much more. Using fall tones, grunge elements, and textile touches, Devin uses her outfits as a way to express her true sense of self and exercise her creativity.
Why is fashion and self-expression important to you? "Whether or not I wear makeup on a certain day will 100% change whether or not I'm gendered a certain way. Which is interesting because I'll see certain pieces that I figure would be benign but they completely change the way that people assume what gender I'm trying to get across. It's so much of a choice when I get ready every day.
Devin cited high-waisted pants as one of her favorite trends, and we totally get why! High-waists can cinch where you want, create curves, and provide a level comfort not normally offered by skinny jeans. Tucking her shirt into her pants, Devin creates a figure-flattering silhouette from pieces she picked up at the thrift store.
We're loving how Devin experiments with textiles and textures! Tying some string around her wrist, Devin adds a rustic touch by pairing twine alongside her metallic thrifted bangle. A personalized pin on her waistband is an unexpected touch, and goes to show that details and accessories are what pull together an outfit. Follow in Devin's footsteps and personalize your outfits with various pins, textile pieces, and miscellaneous jewelry.
I know, I know, I keep posting about people's sunglasses. But I can't help it! There are so many great sunglass trends out there, and round sunglasses have been around for quite a few seasons now. Round sunnies like these from Urban Outfitters add a retro flair to one's look, and can easily transition from music festivals to daily errands.
Whether or not makeup is a part of your daily routine, there's no denying that a little bit of it goes a long way. For Devin, makeup, like her bold lip and embellished eyes, can have a big effect on how people see her. However, it can also just be a fun form of self expression. Take a tip from Devin and peek at lookbooks from your favorite music festival, or just let your inner artist take over and doodle as you see fit!
Love Devin's look? We want to know about it!
Do you wear high-waisted pants and round sunnies? Would you wear her look? Comment below and share your thoughts with us!

Self is still in the Dr. Edward Wilson section of The Birthday Boys. For some reason, she is having difficulty getting out of it.
Dr. Wilson continues to document the youthful derring-do of the group. Such as, on p. 73, when Cherry-Garard (whose book, The Worst Journey in the World, self has read, btw) tries "to harpoon a sea-snake in one of the pools. It was about five feet in length, of a grey colour striped with yellow, and once speared it twisted and bucked so violently that Cherry (that is how Dr. Wilson refers to the lad, because who has the time to write Cherry-Garard in the pages of a journal?) almost lost it."

Very evident in Dr. Wilson's chapter. Self is nowhere near the end of the chapter, but there have already been three "crew horsing around and getting nekkid" scenes (which were not present at all in Edgar 'Taff' Evans' chapter, which is why self brings it up). The crew horsing around naked is not exactly what you'd expect during a polar exhibition. But it is reminiscent of a kind of pre-World War I / English schoolboy innocence. Another instance of foreshadowing? We've already had one "Dr. Wilson gets a chill premonition" earlier, when the good doctor has a vision of a half-man, half-bird creature skimming its wicked talons across the waves.
Still in the doctor's point of view, the crew arrive on South Trinidad Island and — what a contrast to the horsing around — they stumble across a bay "littered with the wreckage of ships; planks, hencoops, barrels, empty gin bottles, and the picked haunches of a pig."

Still playing catch-up with the Photographing Public Art Challenge (PPAC) co-hosted by Cee Neuner and Marsha Ingrao.
Such a fun challenge, self is so happy whenever she gets to post.
Happened to be at the local car-wash, and was amused by some Frida Kahlo items:
These Diego and Frida Christmas ornaments were in the SFMOMA Store:
And finally, further proof (if proof were needed) that Frida Kahlo's influence is worldwide, these socks were on sale at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK:
Self's personal favorite is the Frida Kahlo pillow.

Self recognizes this name. His and Robert Falcon Scott are the two names she remembers most clearly from her earlier reading. And she likes him. Ugh, she hates getting attached to doomed characters.
The second chapter of The Birthday Boys is Wilson's:
Lord knows what I should do if the crow's nest wasn't available to me. Quite apart from its being the best vantage point from which to work, it also enables me to be solitary. Constant companionship exhausts me, and but for my lonely hours up against the sky I would find the boisterous evenings unbearable. I'm something of a dull fish, and although I'm flattered when one or other of the chaps come to me with their grievances — and sooner or later they all do — I'm much afraid that my reputation for patience and impartiality stems more from lassitude than involvement. Better to say nothing than to condemn, and to laugh with than to criticise, and so much happier.
It is to Wilson that Bainbridge grants a vision. It's just one sentence.
I was seeing the mission-room in my mind's eye, those rows of shaven heads illuminated in a slant of sunlight writhing with dust, when by some trick of the early light in the sky above me, the sea below broke into a thousand glittering fragments, and in that heavenly dazzle I clearly saw a creature, half man, half bird, soaring above the waves.
Bainbridge's writing is so beautiful: so elegant and exact.

Beryl Bainbridge chooses to tell the story of Robert Falcon Scott's doomed expedition to the south pole in first person, and places each chapter in the mind of a different crew member. Self thinks/remembers that the whole lot die, so this is quite a depressing book to be reading right now. She read it for the first time about 20 years ago, and it's only now that bits and pieces are coming back to her. Such as: the farewell letters written by the men as they were dying on the ice. The diary of Robert Falcon Scott.
Chapter One (June 1910) is narrated by Petty Officer Edgar (Taff) Evans, whose voice has a certain air of stoicism. Evans describes things like how low the boat, the Terra Nova, sits in the water. How the boat was procured (on the cheap). How the expedition received extravagant attention from the press (Oh the irony). How the voyage is projected to take three years. How the Petty Officer knows not all the crew will make it.
The general impression left by Chapter One is that Scott cut corners. Most of Chapter One is engaged with Scott's fundraising efforts, and how the amount raised didn't seem to be quite enough. All these details will no doubt have tragic consequences. Scott was charismatic, but he was talking through his arse, the boat was pretty rickety, etc He'd already made one expedition to the Antarctic, which only made him more ambitious.
Chapter Two is related by Dr. Edward (Uncle Bill) Wilson, who is given to detached observation. For example:
The scenery was magnificent; abrupt precipices, wooded hills and crags, tumbling waters and a paradise of mosses, ferns and pink belladonna lilies. One moment the air was polluted with the odour of the black til (Oreodaphne foetens), so named because of its awful smell, and the next filled with the delicious scent of the beautiful lilly of the valley tree (Clethra arborea).

It's a somewhat surreal experience. Here are two excellent writers, both at the top of their game, both writing about the sea. She swears there are times when she's reading Beryl Bainbridge's first person narrative and she can almost imagine the character as a member of the crew on the ill-fated Hoel.
Both writers love detail. (Self loves detail, too. It's all about verisimilitude)
Here is Bainbridge's Petty Officer Edgar (Taff) Evans on p. 19:
The Owner's paid 100 pounds out of expedition funds to have the Terra Nova registered as a yacht. This enables us to fly the White Ensign; more to the point, it means we can dodge the attentions of Board of Trade officials who would most certainly declare her an ill-founded ship within the meaning of the Act, seeing she's wallowing so low in the water it was a waste of time to smudge out the Plimsoll line. Fresh painted lamp-black, with a funnel yellow as a buttercup and a neat white line all around her bows, she's now as pretty as a picture. There's one thing worries Lashly: she's going to be the very devil when it comes to consuming coal.
Both writers, alas, are no longer with us. Hornfischer passed just this year, Bainbridge in 2010 (but dear blog readers will meet Hornfischer again, and soon. She's added Ship of Ghosts to her reading list.)

There's a trick to holding attention, to keeping interest at full pitch, and I learnt it as a boy from Idris Williams, the preacher in the chapel at the bottom of Glamorgan Street. It's a matter of knowing which way the wind blows and of trimming sails accordingly. All the same, I've never found it necessary to alter my description of the cold, or of the ice flowers that bloomed in winter along the edges of the sea.
The Birthday Boys, p. 8


During The Hay Festival, News Academy's young journalists have been reporting live for The Hay Festival website. Here Catherine Reid and Leah Abraham tell us all about their experience on the journalistic front line.
Reporting from this year's Hay Festival has been the most incredible experience. From hearing speakers I would never have thought to go and see, to listening to some of my biggest heroes like Caitlin Moran and Laura Bates, the whole festival has been amazing.
Working under Oliver Bullough and Kitty Corrigan has taught me so much about reporting. The advice they have passed on is invaluable, and the amount of writing I have had the opportunity to do during the festival is all great material for my portfolio.
Being so involved in the media team was a terrific confidence boost, and working in a close-knit team environment gave us a taste of what it's like to work on a news desk. As the week went on I got quicker at writing up, and learned to condense how many notes I was taking in each talk.
The team also arranged for us to meet a number of senior journalists, including GQ Editor Dylan Jones. Hearing from these experts was so inspiring and it was fascinating to soak up some of their wisdom.
The days were long but they genuinely flew by. As a group of interns we got on really well, supporting and learning from each other. All the staff were very welcoming and kind, and the whole festival ran like clockwork.
I can't recommend the experience enough, it's truly been an amazing opportunity and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
It has been fruitful, albeit fruit filled week working at this years Hay Festival. A momentous, and perhaps most pivotal week to date for me this year. My skills as a journalist have developed leaps and bounds in the short intensive period. Working directly for the Press office, has given me a full window of the Media industry, allowed me to discover potential career paths, and avenues.
We have been so lucky to have the support from Kitty and Oliver, who have been inspiring and attentive mentors throughout, always happy to impart sound advice and offer criticism when needed.
Working in close proximity with other Journalists Photographers and TV gave the week an authentic feel for the dynamics of a effective and collaborative Press office. Receiving a bounty of expert advice and soundbites from BBC Art's Peter Maniura and GQ's Dylan Jones was definitely an added bonus.
I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to speak honestly about how to break into the industry. I've decided that freelancing as journalist is a suitable move, whilst I continue to intern, travel and find my feet. A highlight for me, was hearing my local hometown Hackney frequently cited in talks ranging from Shakespeare all the way to Peter Chadwick's fascination with Brutalist buildings and architecture. Hackney was the common denominator connecting Academic Artist and Journalist to the festival, and the idyllic landscapes of Hay. It has been an incredible honour to be working here at one of the leading Literary festivals of the world. Celebrating knowledge in its glorious abundance, sitting in on talks led by leading experts, exuberant writers, authors, speakers playwrights. Speaking in depth and authentically about subjects across disciplines. I felt as though I'd only skimmed to surface of the content that was here on offer, but I've take from it more than I could have expected. An exhilarating experience, and journey of discovery, that I'd be honoured to take part in again.


Though well established in Europe as a cartridge for hunting today, it is difficult to determine the date for when the 6.5x57 Rimmed was first introduced. The evidence, and lack thereof, seems to suggest that it arrived on the scene during the 1890s. Firearms historians believe the 6.5x57mm may have been developed initially for service in the Italian military, and they also believe that this cartridge influenced the development of the 6.5x58 Portuguese Mauser.
German deer and boar hunters respect the 6.5x57R partly because it is a proven game-getter, and also because the cartridge develops the minimum allowable energy levels established by the German government for hunting these game animals. Other hunters in Europe appreciate the 6.5x57 because the accuracy is excellent, and it is able to kill efficiently without causing unnecessary damage to the meat.
Ballistics performance for the 6.5x57R is identical to that of the non-rimmed cartridge, and is comparable to both the .260 Remington and the 6.5x55 Swedish. The first bullet for the cartridge, a lead round nose, weighed 154 grains and left the barrel travelling about 2,400 feet per second. Since its introduction, bullet and powder technology have improved significantly, allowing for modern loads to offer some positive changes. Bullets today can weigh as little as 92.6 grains and usually max out weighing 140 grains, most of the time in the Soft Point configuration. Muzzle velocity starts at 2,500 feet per second, and climb just over 3,200 feet per second. These loads produce about 2,500 foot pounds of muzzle energy, and due to their excellent ballistic coefficient, most bullets can still deliver more than 1,350 foot pounds at 100 yards.
The 6.5x57R is a hard-hitting cartridge and is known for its high degree of stability – especially in situations with a crosswind. The high ballistic coefficient permits this, as well as the sectional density. Additional benefits of the bullet design include greater penetration of game animals, independent of the velocity at impact. 6.5x57R ammo is not especially popular in the U.S., but the cartridge is effective for hunting medium-sized game and is worth considering for such an application.
"I use this ammo in my combination guns and love it. I recently have had a Borchardt Single shot rifle rebarreled in this cartridge with a 28" octagon to round barrel. I was able to secure enough loaded ammo from Ammo.com at a reasonable price such that I will be able to feed my new single shot project for years to come. Great brass at a great price!!!!"

Bagel Tycoon from Fishkill Headed to Prison
Boris Published: July 12, 2022
bhofack2/Canva
An entrepreneur from the Hudson Valley who made a fortune swindling prospective bagel store owners is headed to prison.
Joseph Smith may share the same name as the founder of the Mormon church, but prosecutors say he's anything but a saint. The former Fishkill resident was recently sentenced to three and a half years in prison and ordered to pay over $2 million in restitution after he was found guilty of fraud and tax evasion.
Smith was the owner of New York Bagel Enterprises Inc. where the Department of Justice says he committed wire fraud and tax evasion in a scheme to rip off prospective business partners. From 2014 to 2016 Smith sold more than 160 franchises of New York Bagel to operators in Pennsylvania and other states. In February, he pled guilty to defrauding these franchises by misrepresenting the terms of their deals.
The 57-year-old businessman guaranteed that his company would get financing for the new stores, which he later admitted was not true. He also did not reveal the actual costs involved in opening the bagel shops, surprising franchisees with charges of up to $44,000 after they had already opened.
Franchise operators demanded their money back, but Smith refused. Instead, prosecutors say he deposited more than $1 million into accounts, which he used to pay for personal travel, car payments and rent. In addition, Smith was found guilty of not filing corporate or individual income taxes for the money, failing to pay money owed to the IRS.
Smith has been sentenced to three years and six months in prison, three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay $2,100,450 in restitution to those he ripped off. FBI Special Agent Jacqueline Maguire said that Smith engaged in a "clear-cut case of fraud" and expressed satisfaction that the sentence would provide justice for his victims.

Inés Medina at Summer Show 2017
Inés Medina brings her series "The Transmutation of The Mind" to a group summer exhibition at Skoto Gallery.
Inés Medina created Series 20: The Transmutation of The Mind. The Capacity to Visualize The Totality to investigate the concept of plastic division.
Two big pillars sustain the totality of her artistic-theoretical investigation. First, a formal one: Abstract and Geometric (1978-1995) created almost in its entirety in Bilbao, Spain. Second, an Organic–Energetic one: Abstract Symbolic (1996-2013) investigated in New York, with the exception of the Series 20 , which was developed in Bilbao.
The works shown here were created in Bilbao, Spain and New York between 2010 and 2014. They have been also exhibited at Museo Bolívar – Bizkaia and the Embassy of Spain in Washington, D.C.
She explores the visual sentiments of nature and employs an inimitable ability to unite color, light and texture to create work of remarkable elegance and lyrical beauty. The impression they leave on the eye is distinct yet intangible.
Medina hails from the Basque Country, Spain. Her work pulsates with vigor and evinces a sense of delicate ambiguity that helps summon the true power of their abstract presence. Her work encapsulates a desire for the expressive content, theories and reinvented formal strategies that underpins the aesthetics inherent to the Basque soul. She obtained a Master in Fine Art in 1982 at the Bilbao University in Spain. She has widely exhibited in Europe and the U.S. Her work is included in several private and public collections around the world.
Medina has also been teaching seminars on creativity development, at The Bilbao Art Foundation and The Cervantes Institute in New York.
At Summer Show 2017, Medina will be accompanied by Olu Amoda, Cybil Charlier, William Engel, Carl Hazlewood, Michael Marshall, Bruce Onobrakpeya, David Rich, Sumayyah Samaha, Jeremy Silva and Juliana Zevallos.
Opening reception on Thursday, July 6, from 6 pm to 8 pm.
