Here is the latest issue of Prostate Cancer Communication. It is a publication from PAACT (Patient Advocates for Advanced Cancer Treatments). There are some good articles that may be of interest to you.
From PBS interview with Dr .Elisabeth Rosenthal. 6 Questions to ask your doctor.
A newly published study in the journal Urology (the "Gold Journal") has suggested that — at least for patients with a PSA level between 4 and 10 ng/ml — PSA density may be better than PSA level in the determination of which of these patients need to go on to have a biopsy.
PSA density was a much more accurate predictor of risk than PSA alone for all men with a PSA level of 4 ng/ml or higher.
Among men with a PSA level of < 4 ng/ml, PSA density was no better than PSA at predicting actual prostate cancer (of any type or of clinical significance).
The minimally invasive treatment uses steam to kill cells and shrink the prostate and can be used on a wider range of anatomies.
Early results in clinical practice on large prostates appear "promising" and a study on prostates up to 150 grams is expected to begin later this year.
Genomic testing is done on cancerous tissue taken from the prostate in order to provide information about how your prostate cancer might behave. By looking at the genetic makeup of the cancer, these tests may help predict whether your prostate cancer grows slowly or aggressively.
Genomic testing can be performed on both biopsy tissue and on tissue from an entire prostate following a prostatectomy.

Weezer confident in 'Everything Will Be Alright in the End'
Mikael Wood Los Angeles Times (MCT)
Twenty years ago, Weezer was one of the biggest bands in Los Angeles, a deeply quirky alternative-rock quartet riding high on the success of its self-titled 1994 debut.
Also known as the Blue Album, the triple-platinum "Weezer" presented a group — and a frontman, Rivers Cuomo — capable of turning anxiety and insecurity into fuzzy power-pop radio hits with such songs as "Buddy Holly" and "Undone — the Sweater Song." The basic idea was Nirvana for nerds, and it worked.
Then Cuomo freaked out, quit the band, came back and made a record that flopped. Then he quit and came back again, which generated more radio hits, before Cuomo aimed for greater heights and eventually alienated his audience with an album nobody liked. "Hurley," released on an indie label in 2010, sold 133,000 copies — about one-thirtieth the number "Weezer" did.
So when Cuomo and his bandmates performed on a soggy evening this summer at California's Del Mar Racetrack, the gig might've seemed like a stop near the end of the road. Only that's not at all how it went down: Onstage before a concrete parking lot ringed with corn dog vendors, Weezer — with guitarist Brian Bell, bassist Scott Shriner and drummer Pat Wilson — sounded like a band in top form, rocking a crowd filled with people whose track tickets had gotten them into the concert for free.
"Hello, horses," Cuomo said between songs. "Hello, humans." Then he led Weezer through its latest single, "Back to the Shack." The humans cheered.
One of several out-of-the-way shows the group played this summer, Weezer's trip to Del Mar was part of the run-up to the release of its strong new album, "Everything Will Be Alright in the End," out today from Republic Records. It's the band's first since "Hurley" and comes with comeback-ready talking points, including a return to a major label and a reunion with producer Ric Ocasek of the Cars, who also oversaw the Blue Album.
And then there's "Back to the Shack," a stomping guitar jam in which Cuomo sings that he had to "go and make a few mistakes" — an apparent reference to the sleek pop tunes of 2009's polarizing "Raditude," which featured input from such Top 40 veterans as Dr. Luke and Lil Wayne. "Kick in the door, more hard-core," Cuomo goes on, "Rocking out like it's '94." A statement of intent? Well, maybe.
"I actually have a troubled relationship with that song," the 44-year-old Cuomo says recently at a park near his home in Santa Monica, Calif.. "There's something problematic about the speaker's position — it's a little cartoon-ish." The idea, he went on, was to demonstrate where Weezer was looking on the new record. But in his enthusiasm he might've ended up tipping over into caricature.
At least it was his doing. Thanks to his pocket-protector look and songs such as the debut album's "No One Else" — with lyrics that creepily admit to wanting "a girl who will laugh for no one else" — Weezer was initially pegged by many as a product of mid-'90s irony. In reality, Cuomo was as earnest as they came.
"That was quite a shock for me to discover that (perception)," he says. That gulf between his public persona and who he really was eventually overwhelmed any pleasure he took in the group's success, so in 1995 Cuomo left Weezer and began studying literature at Harvard. When he came back to music, he made a "really gnarly, personal, tell-all album" — the cult favorite "Pinkerton," from 1996 — that failed to catch fire commercially, driving him away from the band again.
The next time Cuomo returned — for a second self-titled record in 2001, followed relatively quickly by three more albums — he took another tack, de-emphasizing his personal troubles and boosting the radio-ready choruses. The hits returned — "Island in the Sun," "Beverly Hills," "Pork and Beans," all staples on alt-rock stations — though some listeners griped that Cuomo was sacrificing the emotional honesty of Weezer's early work.
That view solidified around "Raditude," which had hip-hop-inflected songs such as "Can't Stop Partying" and "I'm Your Daddy." For "Hurley," Weezer dialed down much of the supposed excess, but the damage was done. "I think a lot of people wrote that album off without even hearing it," Cuomo says.
His response (as it so often has been) was to take another break, though not before undertaking the so-called Weezer Cruise, a four-night voyage from Miami to Cozumel, Mexico, that found the group "locked up on a boat with our most die-hard fans," as Cuomo puts it. The experience was a "turning point," he says, in which he "realized these people really love us, and they want the best for us."
When Cuomo began writing again, the singer — now a family man with two young children — says the music sprang from a deeper place: thoughtful, multi-layered songs about women, his father (with whom he recently reunited after a long estrangement) and Weezer's complicated back-and-forth with its following.
Bethany Cosentino of L.A.'s Best Coast, who co-wrote and sings on the new album's "Go Away," remembered turning up for her first studio session with Cuomo and meeting someone far more focused and relaxed than the tortured soul he's often been depicted as. "He was basically the nicest guy ever," Cosentino says.
In Santa Monica, too, the singer spoke calmly and thoughtfully as he sat on a park bench, rolling a Frisbee between his hands.
Yet Cuomo isn't forsaking pop ambition. Over the last six months, Weezer has posted more than 20 behind-the-scenes videos on YouTube, part of what Frank Arigo, senior vice president of marketing at Republic, calls a concerted effort to reach more people. And despite its mixed message, "Back to the Shack" has gotten the band back on the radio; Weezer even played alongside Taylor Swift and One Direction at the recent iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas.
Asked if he keeps up with what's on the charts as closely as he used to — if he's monitoring the competition, in other words — Cuomo admits he hasn't been paying a lot of attention. But he's not worried.
"We're going to stick by this album and support it and do everything we can to share it with the world," he say. "I think it has a good shot at being heard — and understood."


What may be possible to do with the new imagery available from the Next Generation of Satellites? How can one obtain the data? Are there training materials available?
These are just some of the questions that most users have in mind as they try to prepare for the next generation of satellites. Because some of the new satellites are already in use while others are yet to become active, the amount of information about each satellite is different and may not be as widely available yet. This Event aimed to give a general update on what is available, what is coming next and also provide the opportunity for dialogue.
The Event was composed of a selection of webinars presented from 16 to 20 November by Japan Meteorological Agency – JMA, China Meteorological Administration – CMA, India Meteorological Department – IMD, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – NOAA, Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere – CIRA, European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites – EUMETSAT, National Institute for Space Research – INPE, Korea Meteorological Administration – KMA and the COMET Program.
This Event was organised in accordance with the Mission and Strategic Drivers of VLab and also keeps with the aims of the WMO Global Campus.
Presenters: Sh A K Sharma, DDGM (Sat Met) and Sh Virendra Singh, Scientist 'E', IMD.
Overview: The presenters will cover the introduction of INSAT-3D satellite payloads, details of images generated and their dissemination, details of products generated from INSAT-3D and their dissemination along with examples of application.
Overview: The GOES-R launch has been moved back to October 2016, providing more time for preparations. This talk will provide an updated overview of the characteristics of GOES-R, which includes the instruments, imager channels and the position of the satellite at launch. In preparation for GOES-R, the US has utilized a Proving Ground concept and created satellite liaison positions to train forecasters throughout the National Weather Service on this next generation satellite technology. In addition to the GOES-R overview, this talk will also provide a liaison perspective from NOAA's Aviation Weather Center, including roles and responsibilities as well examples and applications of GOES-R imagery and products in operations.
Overview: Hiamwari-8 is the next generation geostationary meteorological satellite and JMA has started its operation on 7 July 2015. This presentation offers an introduction of the Himawari-8, which will support the usage of its imagery. Particularly, this session will present an overview of the Himawari-8, its operation status and performance, and also data access.
Overview: Are you familiar with these acronyms: WMO VLab, VISIT, SHyMet, CIRA, CIMSS, COMET, SPoRT, NWS WDTD and FDTD, GRB, CSPP, GNC-A, McIDAS-V, ILWIS, GDAL? This presentation will give a 15 minute tour of the groups and organizations that play a significant role in the training delivered to the US forecaster followed by a 15 minute tour of ways to access data and imagery. The focus includes training for the next generation of satellites and access and usage outside the US.
Overview: Fengyun-4 (FY-4) is the secondary generation geostationary satellite series in China, whose first experimental member (FY-4A) is scheduled to be launched at the end of 2016. As an outstanding feature, the complete three-dimensional observations with high temporal (1 minute for region with its size at the 103 Km2 order), spatial (500m for visible band at nadir) and spectral (0.8cm-1 for long-wave infrared band) resolutions between visible and thermal infrared spectrums are coming into reality next year, which is widely believed to be the new era of GEO observation at least for CMA. In this presentation, the main recently progresses of the space- and ground- segments of FY-4A are introduced briefly and some new capabilities, e.g. new spectral bands compared with FY-2 VISSR, new measurement results from lightning imager as well as interfering sounding, are also discussed in detail. Meanwhile, the latest data and product service plans, for example data broadcasting and sharing, product distributing and emergency observation support, are presented to benefit the user community especially for the East Asia area as expectations.
Overview: This presentation will first summarise the main benefits from MSG and then focus on Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) Imaging Satellite (MTG-I) and its main instruments: the Flexible Combined Imager (FCI) and the Lightning Imager (LI). The benefits from the improved spatial and temporal sampling and from the new FCI channels will be shown. Particular focus will be on the NIR2.2 channel for cloud microphysical properties. For this, MODIS and AHI example images will be compared to MSG images. Finally, the LI and its differences to ground-based lightning detection networks will be discussed.
Overview: Himawari-8 features the new 16-bands Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI), which has improved spatial resolution and observation frequency over those of its predecessor MTSAT-series satellites. Utilizing these improvements, JMA/MSC has enhanced L-2 products such as cloud products, atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) and clear sky radiances (CSRs). In this session, some of the L-2 products as well as RGB composite imagery of Himawari-8 will be introduced.
Overview: This webinar will address some basic aspects of the new generation of geostationary satellites over the Americas, such as new instruments and data dissemination changes. The Community Satellite Processing Package for Geostationary Data (CSPP-GEO) will be presented. New products and expected improvements of the current ones will be discussed as well as new dissemination challenges and processing tools like GeonetCast Americas and SigmaCast.
Overview: The Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) is the US's next generation of polar-orbiting environmental satellites. JPSS-1 is expected to be launched in late 2016 and will become NOAA-20. Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP), currently in orbit, is considered the bridge between NOAA's legacy polar satellites, NASA's Earth observing missions, and JPSS. The JPSS program has joined the GOES-R program in promoting a Proving Ground approach to preparing for new satellites in the US with additional support from strategically located satellite liaison positions. This talk will provide a brief overview of the JPSS instruments and existing and potential products for users and provide perspectives from a liaison at NOAA's Center for Weather and Climate Prediction.
Overview: KMA has developing COMS follow-on geostationary meteorological satellite(Geo-KOMPSAT-2A, GK-2A) by 2018, which will be launched in June 2018. It has a Himawari-8/AHI-like sensor, named Advanced Meteorological Imager (AMI). GK-2A/AMI will provide huge observational data through 16 channels with high spatial and temporal resolutions. This presentation provides the status and plans of meteorological products development and their applications for hazardous weather monitoring, numerical weather prediction and so on.
Overview: UCAR's COMET Program works with sponsors from NOAA, EUMETSAT, and the Meteorological Service of Canada to develop self-paced training materials to help users keep up with advances in satellite meteorology technology and products. This session will highlight existing training materials and provide tips on how to leverage the MetEd website to access, organize, and interact with the library of available lessons.


Nandrolone cypionate was first developed during the 1960's. Nandrolone is also known as 19-nortestosterone (19-NT). Nandrolone cypionate is an injectable form of the anabolic steroid nandrolone. This ester provides a pattern of hormone release virtually identical to that of testosterone cypionate, with peak levels of drug being noted approximately 24-48 hours after administration, and a substantial hormone release sustained for about weeks. In this case the active hormone is nandrolone, which is a moderately strong anabolic steroid that carries mild estrogenic and androgenic properties. It can helps to rebuild body tissue, increase body and bone mass and encourage the formation of red blood cells. Nandrolone is an anabolic steroid which are a group of drugs that are usually synthesized from the male reproduction hormone.
Nandrolone 200 is a yellowish oily solution for intramuscular injection. Deca is commonly cycled for 10-16 weeks at a dose of 400- 800 mg/week.

Norris, 23, has not played since sustaining a shoulder injury against the Arizona Coyotes on Oct. 22. The injury did not require surgery and general manager Pierre Dorian previously said the injury is not the same as previous shoulder issues that cause Norris to miss time earlier in his career.
The team will re-evaluate the injury and Norris' timeline in January.
In five games this season, The Oxford, Michigan native has one goal and one assist. In 66 games last season, Norris scored a career high 35 goals to go along with 20 assists.

Nick's 2018 in SFF Cinema
By Nick Lowe, part of our ongoing look back at 2018.
Del Toro with a Best Picture Oscar for The Shape of Water. Photo credit: Chris Pizzello
It's been quite a wait, but the fiftieth anniversary of 2001 – an event exhilaratingly marked by the theatrically-released "unrestoration" and Michael Benson's ample new making-of book – was also the year that finally saw an sf film take the Oscar for Best Picture. And as it turned out, The Shape of Water was about as 2018 as a film could get: an unrepentant genre nerd-out with a sincere and completely unapologetic passion for the history of sf cinema and its transgressive political power to represent transhuman desires, give voices to the silenced, and enlarge humanity by embracing monstrosity. The making of monsters was a preoccupation of films as different as Sorry to Bother You, Wildling, Smallfoot, The Titan, Overlord, and The Cured, while the unjust monstering of non-human others played out in films as different as Bumblebee, Rampage, Isle of Dogs, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Luis and the Aliens, with full-on alien romances in How to Talk to Girls at Parties and Russian extravaganza Attraction, and in the other direction Beethoven thwarting interstellar genocide in weirdo British two-hander Native.

Józef Szermentowski (*  in Bodzentyn; † 6. September 1876 in Paris) war ein polnischer Landschaftsmaler.

Leben
Von 1849 bis 1853 wohnte Szermentowski im Haus des Kunstsammlers und Mäzens Tomasz Zieliński in Kielce; zeitweise wurde er hier von Franciszek Kostrzewski in der Malerei unterrichtet. Von 1853 bis 1857 studierte er dann in Warschau an der Akademie der Bildenden Künste unter Christian Breslauer und Juliusz Kossak; ab 1858 war Wojciech Gerson sein Privatlehrer.

Im Jahr 1860 wechselte er mit einem Stipendium nach Paris, wo er sich niederließ. Er kehrte nur noch zweimal auf Reisen nach Polen zurück; 1866 besuchte er Kielce und 1888 Krakau sowie die Tatra. 1869 bereiste er die Pyrenäen. Von 1865 bis 1876 stellte er auf den Pariser Salons aus und zeigte seine Bilder auch international – so in Wien, in London (hier gewann er 1871 eine Silbermedaille) und in Polen. Er war ein Freund von Cyprian Kamil Norwid und wurde auf dem Friedhof Les Champeaux in Montmorency beerdigt. Ein Enkelsohn war Eugeniusz Szermentowski, ein polnischer Journalist und Schriftsteller.

Werk
Szermentowski malte in Öl und Aquarell, vorwiegend Landschafts- und Genrebilder. Überwiegend wählte er polnische Motive. Seine frühen Werke sind vom Realismus dominiert, der sich an der Akademie in Warschau entwickelte. In seiner Pariser Zeit nahm er Verbindung zu Anhängern der Schule von Barbizon auf; malerische und formale Mittel traten nun stärker in den Vordergrund. Licht- und Schattenwirkungen widmete er sich dabei besonders. Er gehörte zu den ersten polnischen Landschaftsmalern, die sich um korrekte Wiedergabe von Lichteffekten bemühten (siehe nebenstehendes Gemälde "Im Park").

The carnyx is an ancient musical instrument that best-known to have been used by the Celts during the Iron Age. Between 300 BC and 200 AD, the carnyx was used in many parts of Europe. In the ancient literary records, the carnyx is most commonly depicted as an instrument that accompanied Celtic warriors when they went into battle. Apart from literary sources, references to the carnyx have also been found on pieces of art and coins. Lastly, remains of this musical instrument have occasionally been found during archaeological excavations.
The carnyx may be described as a type of war trumpet. This instrument was a valveless horn that was made of beaten bronze, and can be easily recognized due to its ſ-shape. Another distinct feature of the carnyx is its bell, which often depicts the head of some animal. Such animals include boars, dragons, serpents, birds and wolves. The bells of the carnyx were fashioned after these animals so as to strike fear into enemy warriors. Additionally, some bells were made with joints at the jaws, which would cause the animal's head to move when the instrument was blown, thus adding to the psychological effect it had on the enemy.
Whilst the sight of the carnyx struck fear into the hearts of the enemy, it was the sound of it, which has been described as lugubrious and harsh, that probably had a greater impact on enemy morale. It may be pointed out that it is unlikely that we will ever know how their carnyces had sounded. Nevertheless, it is possible to recreate this instrument, given that some of them have been found during archaeological excavations, and perhaps achieve a slightly better understanding of how this instrument worked.
One example of a carnyx that has survived is the Deskford Carnyx, which was discovered in Deskford in Banffshire, Scotland. Only the head of this instrument was found, and it has been speculated that it had been buried as a votive offering to the gods. Although this instrument did not survive in its entirety, it provided enough information for a replica to be made. In order to recreate the rest of the carnyx, parallels, most notably artistic depictions from elsewhere in Europe were consulted. As a result, it is possible for us to hear the kind of sound a carnyx may have emitted when it was played.
Nevertheless, the Deskford Carnyx is only one example of such an instrument. Prior to 2004, the remains of only five carynces were known. These instruments were found in Scotland, France, Germany, Switzerland and Romania respectively.
In November 2004, a deposit of seven carynces was unearthed at Tintignac, a Gallo-Roman site at Tintignac in the Corrèze region of southern France. One of these carnyces had a bell in the shape of a serpent's head with huge ears. A recreation of this carnyx was also made, and the sound produced by this instrument was quite different from that of the Deskford Carnyx. Thus, it has been shown that there were different types of carnyces in existence.
Additionally, the carnyx from Tintignac also forced experts to re-evaluate the way that this instrument was played. Prior to its discovery, it was thought that the carnyx was held vertically, as depicted in some pieces of ancient art. The carnyx from Tintignac, however, had a completely straight tube, as opposed to other carnyces which had a slight bend at the mouth end of the tube.
This meant that the carnyx from Tintignac was most likely played more or less horizontally, rather than vertically. This has led to the speculation that the carnyx, though traditionally associated with warfare, may have had a ritualistic function, and had been used for other occasions, such as feasts, funerals and weddings, as well.

Are These Malaysian Kids Being Smuggled To 'Organ Farms' Across The Thai Border?
Not everything you see on the Internet is true.

Recently, there have been rumours that children are being smuggled for their organs somewhere along the Malaysia-Thailand border
Image via Facebook
The story, shared on social media sites to warn parents to be careful, alleges that children are being kidnapped, then sold to human traffickers who harvest their organs for sale in the black market.
Several gruesome images depicting a girl trussed up in a cardboard box as well as an image showing a group of children being lined up like livestock were included in these postings.
Quite a number of Malaysian portals have picked up this particular story and featured it on their site, receiving thousands of shares and likes for the articles they published on the alleged news.
However, it is highly possible that this story, one that has been widely shared, was falsified and made-up
An example of a social media post about the alleged smuggling of Malaysian children in order to sell their organs.
It is believed that there are several 'versions' of the same story that are being circulated online.
In one version, it is said that children were being smuggled from Malaysia to Thailand but perpetrators were caught at Bukit Kayu Hitam border checkpoint when the Thai authorities found a van filled with hundreds of dead Malaysian children without organs in their bodies.
In another version of the story, children were purportedly sedated and stuffed into boxes. These children are then transported to Thailand where they would be killed for their organs.
Meanwhile, there were also claims that about 700 kids without internal organs were found in Thailand.
However, all of these could be mere fabrication even as the posts were accompanied with the same photos despite the difference in their content.
The most obvious tell-tale sign lies on the box depicted in one of the images that is being circulated in these viral posts
A quick search on Google reveals that SanQua is an Indonesian brand of bottled water produced by a company named PT. Tirta Mas Perkasa.
Interestingly, SanQua is not available in Malaysia nor Thailand.
This is the biggest clue to uncover whether this story is true or a hoax: Indonesia.
The images of a girl stuffed in a box is not doctored and the girl in question is, in fact, a victim of murder that happened in Indonesia last year
Image via awdionline
Nine-year-old Putri Nur Fauziah was tragically murdered after she was sexually assaulted. She was then stuffed into a cardboard box and dumped in an illegal garbage site in Kamal subdistrict, Kalideres, West Jakarta in October 2015.
It's clear that the images are not photos of a child that was kidnapped and smuggled in a cardboard box to become an organ donor, but of a horrifying real-life murder case.
Unfortunately for the innocent child, even after suffering so much at the hands of her murderer, people are still circulating and using her photos for fake, unsubstantial stories.
Similarly, the image depicting the group of children is believed to be real - except that it originated from Syria
The Ghouta chemical attack in August 2013 killed dozens of children.
Image via HRW
The photo is believed to have originated from the Ghouta chemical attack that occurred in Ghouta, Syria on August 2013.
The attack saw one of the deadliest use of chemical weapons in recent years with the death toll ranging from at least 281 people to 1,729.
These are Syrian children, victims of the deadly chemical attack, and not Malaysian children as claimed.
It is believed that these rumours of child smuggling bid into Thailand have been around for more than two years
Back in 2014, it was reported that the police had denied speculations that children were being smuggled in a lorry to Thailand from Bukit Kayu Hitam.
Earlier this month, the police have also refuted claims that children are being smuggled into Thailand as part of the organ trafficking syndicate.
"I advise the public to stop spreading this case and not to easily believe any kind of incidents that is going viral on social media," Kedah police chief Datuk Asri Yusoff was quoted as saying by Berita Harian.

The one thing you never want to hear at a concert, as the band takes the stage, with the lead singer conspicuously absent: "So I guess some of you haven't heard what happened last night . . ." The first thing Rainer Maria guitarist Kyle Fischer said as he and drummer William Kuehn took the stage was that at their show the night before, singer and bassist Caitlin De Marrais had blown out her voice. There was a little more by way of explanation, but the gist of it was: that night, Rainer Maria would be performing sans Caitlin.
Rainer Maria has always hinged upon the boy-girl vocal interactions between Caitlin and Kyle, although passing time has found Caitlin increasingly the lead singer. However, Kyle and William actually did a good job covering in her absence. Kyle (who was supposed to be the singer, until they discovered Caitlin's skills) took over singing duties. They played some early songs from RM's original demo, and a couple of quiet songs, and then some songs from the band's latest album, A Better Version of Me. Some of them sounded good ("The Contents of Lincoln's Pockets," most of which Kyle sings anyway, but still clearly missed Caitlin's accompaniment). Others sounded like, well, there was a reason why they call Caitlin the singer ("Artificial Light" and "Hell and High Water"). On "Hell and High Water", the group really did seem one member down, but Kyle was trying so hard that you just had to give him credit.
So, as you can guess, the show would've been kind of a disappointment.
If not for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who preceded Rainer Maria. They didn't seem like they'd be much, just a drummer, a guitarist, and a lone singer. Except the singer, identified only as Karen O, has obviously taken a course on "How to Move and Sing like a Rock God(dess)". Because she definitely knew how to work the crowd. Strutting, spinning around, kicking, and twirling the mic wire like she owned the place, and pulling every ounce of style from the lyrics -- she had everyone's attention.
Something else happened, too. A group of fans (hereinafter referred to as the Dance Party) made so much of a ruckus my friend and I figured they had to be friends of the band, eventually working their way to the front to take over the show. To visualize this, you have to remember that fans at indie shows, as a rule, don't dance, let alone "rock out". They stand there, maybe bobbing their heads a little. Why this happens, I don't know (although I have some theories), but you have to picture the Dance Party at the center of the crowd, moving and dancing with abandon, surrounded by people who seemed to just stand there.
Fortunately, it seemed like a large portion of the crowd eventually got the message, and started to dance. It was enough to make one remember that this is what a Rock show (capital R) is supposed to be like: moving, sweaty, and above all loud. And the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, led by the mysterious Karen O, fed off the energy and then seemed to turn everything up a notch.
But the star of the night was Karen O, and a night that started with the show getting underway a couple of hours late, and my friend and I complaining about the lack of production values and why some major label doesn't give Rainer Maria the millions they deserve, turned into something else entirely. And sometimes, when you think the night's going one way, it takes a completely different turn, but that's life. And the best $8 I've spent on a show in a long time.


Three Indian American kids from across the country were among the 18 winners announced by Population Connection on May 8th in its international "World of 7 Billion" video contest. The victors topped the more than 5,000 students in grades 6 through 12 from 50 countries and 44 U.S. states and territories who participated in the competition.
Arjun Agarwal of Lawrenceville, N.J., for the video "Eating Up by Thinking Up," was the top winner in the high school Feeding 10 Billion category.
Ayush is an eighth grader at Manheim Township Middle School. He heard about the contest from his Excel (gifted) teacher and created his video as an independent project outside of his school work, his bio said.
He chose Feeding 10 Billion as the subject of his video because he cares deeply about global hunger, and says if he "could solve one world problem, that would be it." He's written multiple essays, research papers, and presentations on the subject before he entered the World of 7 Billion contest, Population Connection added.
The videos explored population growth as it relates to one of three challenges: Feeding 10 Billion, Preventing Pollution, and Advancing Girls and Women. The contest was organized and promoted during the 2017-18 school year by Population Education, a program of Population Connection. A panel of 61 judges including college and high school educators, filmmakers and topic experts selected the winners.
Population Connection is a national grassroots population organization that educates young people and advocates for progressive action to stabilize world population at a level that can be sustained by earth's resources.
First- and second-place winners were named in three categories each for middle school and high school levels. The three high school first-place winners each received a $1,000 cash prize, while the three second-place winners each received $500. Six honorable mentions each received $250. Middle school students who claimed first and second place received $500 and $250, respectively.
Ayush was aware of population and its impact, but says that his research for the video made him think more deeply about the future implications for people, the planet, and the demands on our food systems, it said.
He is also a passionate advocate for vegetarianism. He's raised awareness about the ecological benefits of switching to a plant-based diet by making speeches and producing films for his fellow students. Ayush likes using PowToon and other animation styles to create his videos.
Ramya Iyer is in the ninth grade at Westside High School. The World of 7 Billion contest was forwarded to her in an email, and without any prior filmmaking experience she submitted a winning video, her bio said.
She said it was often difficult to read the stories and experiences of child brides, but it also motivated her to translate their hardship into her video and inspire people to take action. Ramya herself was particularly struck by the fact that over 1 billion women will have been child brides by 2050, according to Population Connection.
As for the population connection, Ramya shared that she never thought about the link between human numbers and women and girls, but it became clearly apparent after doing research for her video, it said.
The four faceless girls in her film represent the many millions of girls married off before age 18 worldwide and to accurately portray them, Ramya studied the cultures and proper dress of child brides from different countries, it added.
Arjun Agarwal, a ninth grader at Lawrence High School, found out about the contest through involvement in his school's STEM club. He felt inspired to tackle the challenge of Feeding 10 Billion with his film because he saw hunger firsthand while traveling in India with his parents, his bio said.

Hello there Jim, I'm also interested in this. (Please see my latest post for more info.) This article makes for interesting reading; you have certainly provided me with lots of food for thought.
Hey Jim, site looks much better! Any tips on how to prevent these varmints from taking residence under the hood?
Wow! We just lost a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid that caught on fire – we think it was rodent damage. You can see the results at my link.
Our other car was just repaired for minor damage (chewed windshield washer hose).
We live in a rural area of Southern California.
Sure would like to know how to keep the little buggers out! Any ideas?
If I'd kept all of the mice that I've caught in and around my housed riding mower, my wife would've had by now a beautiful fur jacket! I'm happy to have investigated your web site. A lot of talent went into designing and writing for it.


AIXaTECH has further improved the performance of its AlN templates on sapphire and on patterned sapphire substrates (PSS). Latest XRD measurements of templates overgrown with GaN by MOCVD by our customers show XRD 102 FWHM values of below 180 arcsec. Complete LED structures show 5% higher PL intensity in comparison to LED grown in one step in MOCVD. Together with the extremely good surface quality (RMS < 0.4nm) AIXaTECH's templates are the ideal choice to avoid the influence of the MOCVD reactor memory effect, to avoid in-situ cleaning, to avoid a nucleation layer and to avoid 3D-2D growth. All this are the key for reproducibility, constant high quality and high yield.
AIXaTECH's templates also demonstrated their capability to serve as base in HVPE. In HVPE the GaN could be directly deposited on the template, eliminating the MOCVD-GaN-buffer-step. AIXaTECH templates have been also successfully used for deep UV LED growth. Here high quality MOCVD AlN could be grown on the AIXaTECH templates.

Ascent Solar Completes Shipment Of Its First Ultralight Thin-Film Modules For High-Altitude Airship Applications
THORNTON, CO , April 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: ASTI), a developer and manufacturer of state-of-the-art, lightweight and flexible thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solutions, announces that the company has successfully developed and shipped its next-generation laminated aerospace product, using Ultralight technology. The Ultralight PV module represents a major breakthrough over its industry-leading Superlight technology in terms of weight and performance for ready-to-integrate PV modules for aerospace applications, such as high-altitude airships. The value proposition of Ultralight has been validated in terms of a major contract from a European-based customer.
The shipment is valued over $300K and was delivered ahead of schedule before the end of the first quarter of 2018. This substantial sale equates to approximately 50% of the Company's 2017 full-year revenue. The Ultralight PV module is the first of its kind for Ascent Solar to introduce two major advances over previous products. First, Ultralight utilizes next-generation PV that was developed originally for Ascent's space customers and is manufactured on a substantially thinner substrate than Ascent's standard bare PV module. Secondly, the product utilizes asymmetric laminate packaging to reduce thickness and weight substantially from its predecessor, the Superlight product. These changes have resulted in vastly-reduced areal density to nominally 330 grams per square meter, or approximately 50% less than 'thin' crystalline PV airship options. Nominal specific-power under terrestrial (AM1.5) lighting is 280 watts per kilogram and projected to exceed 330 watts per kilogram in near-space conditions (AM0). The PV modules that were provided to the customer in this shipment are designed for easy integration to reduce assembly time of the power system and increase overall array reliability.
"We are proud to provide our new Ultralight flexible laminated solar blankets to our customer for their airship," stated Dr. Joseph Armstrong, Chief Technology Officer and founding member of Ascent Solar. "Our company was created, in part, to address the emerging unmanned high-altitude airship market through the use of our unique, extremely light and flexible photovoltaic product, and we have customizable solar blankets that address multiple aspects of this unique market segment. The customer has ordered a custom version of one of our existing 25-watt Superlight airship PV blankets with dimensions and electrical connections specific to their vehicle. By combining our space PV technology with our new asymmetric laminate packaging, we were able to achieve the breakthrough in terms of substantially higher power-to-weight ratio with Ultralight. Furthermore, our proficiency at rapid prototyping and concurrent design for manufacturability allowed us to accept this custom order with a swift turnaround time to delivery. By proving out the Ultralight construction, we have opened the door for other customers who wanted an even lighter version of our aerospace product that cover drones, tethered aerostats, and both fixed-wing and lighter-than-air high-altitude long-endurance (HALE) applications."
"We are thrilled to have completed this significant order," said Victor Lee, President and CEO of Ascent Solar. "This contract, which accounted for approximately 50% of our 2017 full-year revenue, will be booked as revenue in the first quarter and give the Company a strong head start into 2018. This is not only significant in value but also underscores the power of Ascent's proprietary technology to address these rapidly emerging and growing premium PV markets. We hope that this contract is only the 'tip of the iceberg' as the airship project, when successfully launched, is expected to be rolled out on a much larger scale in the near future. Our technical team has been working with our aerospace customer to identify the best solution for their needs while providing a product that takes full advantage of the key attributes of our monolithically-integrated flexible CIGS PV."

"Florence is expected to stall and wander near or over the coast for as many as four days, dumping prodigious amounts of rain," said meteorologist Jeff Masters of Weather Underground, who added "If a significant portion of the storm's circulation remains over water, as occurred last year with Hurricane Harvey's stall over Southeast Texas — or even if Florence were to move into the higher terrain of western North Carolina and then stall — the rain may break all-time state records for rainfall from a hurricane or tropical storm."
"It's really a dicey forecast right now," says National Weather Service meteorologist Mike Emlaw.
"We're as ready as anybody's ever been," Trump told White House reporters during a Tuesday briefing with officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
"It's going to be a very large one," said Trump, adding "It's tremendously big and tremendously wet."
According to a 2 p.m. update from the US Hurricane Center, Florence - packing 130 MPH winds, iws expected to be the worst storm in the region since Hurricane Hazel made landfall near the North/South Carolina border in 1954.
Wash all dirty clothes and bed sheets. Anything dirty will smell without the A/C, you may need the items, and with no A/C, you'll be sweating a lot. You're going to want clean sheets.
Toss out any expiring food, clean cat litter boxes, empty all trash cans in the house, including bathrooms. Remove anything that will cause an odor when the A/C is off. If you don't have a trash day pickup before the storm, find a dumpster.
Clean all counters in advance. Start with a clean surface. Buy Clorox Wipes for cleaning when there is no power. Mop your floors and vacuum. If power is out for 10 days, you'll have to live in the mess you started with.
Pick your emergency safe place such as a closet under the stairs. Store the items you'll need in that location for the brunt of the storm. Make a hand fan for when the power is out.
Keep baby wipes next to each toilet. Don't flush them. It's not the time to risk clogging your toilet!
Run your dishwasher, don't risk having dirty smelly dishes and you need every container for water! Remember you'll need clean water for brushing your teeth, washing yourself, and cleaning your hands.
Pack a small suitcase and keep it in your car in case you decide to evacuate. Also put at least one jug of water in your car. It will still be there if you don't evacuate. You don't need to store all water in the house. Remember to pack for pets as well.

Whole Foods Market® and AFI-Discovery Channel Silverdocs Documentary Festival launch grant program
"Green Grant" to be awarded at Silverdocs in June
AUSTIN, Texas and Washington, DC (March 30, 2011)—Whole Foods Market, the leading retailer of natural and organic foods and AFI-Discovery Channel Silverdocs Festival, the nation's leading documentary festival, announce the launch of a $50,000 grant program for filmmakers working in the green film genre.
A portion of all ticket sales from the "Whole Foods Market Do Something Reel" Film Festival will go towards a film production and development grant that will encourage filmmakers to continue making stories about the environment and the impact of everyday choices consumers make. Two grants of $25,000 each will be awarded to documentary feature filmmakers at varying stages of development – from conception through completion.
"AFI-Discovery Channel Silverdocs has a history of showcasing the most compelling documentaries about the issues and ideas that shape our contemporary culture," said Sky Sitney, Festival Director. "To now be supporting filmmakers at an earlier, most crucial stage – that of development and completion – and to be doing so in collaboration with such a visionary leader in the green arena, Whole Foods Market, is a very exciting and fulfilling new venture."
The online grant application process will be open from April 1 – 30 and selected grant candidates will be notified by June 14. The Whole Foods Market/AFI-Discovery Channel Silverdocs "Green Grant" will be presented at the 2011 AFI-Discovery Channel Silverdocs Festival Awards Ceremony on June 25. Please visit www.silverdocs.com for additional criteria, to submit an application and for a contact to help answer any questions about the review process.
Whole Foods Market and Silverdocs are looking for well thought out film concepts and films in progress that focus on green themes. These include concepts that explore issues related to food sustainability in all its forms such as the environmental or health benefits of eating whole (minimally processed) and locally grown foods or a community fighting to keep their neighborhood safe from chemicals or an individual working hard to keep their small family farm viable. The film should tell a story of real people making a difference on important issues. While the story might possibly paint a grim picture of reality, the heart of the story should be one of hope and inspiration to others – ultimately showing what IS possible.
Those wishing to submit their documentary film for consideration should meet one or more of the following criteria:
• Previous short or feature film selected to an established film festival • Previous short or feature released in theaters or sold for other distribution • Graduate level film student with recommendation by professor
"We realize how difficult it can be to get documentaries in the lime light, so we hope the festival and the grant program will help put a spotlight on films that speak to our mission as a company and to the values of our shoppers," said Marci Frumkin, marketing and project director of Do Something Reel Film Festival for Whole Foods Market. "It is a true honor to team up with Silverdocs to curate the grant process that will help filmmakers who are passionate about our planet and its tenants spread their important messages via film."
The "Whole Foods Market Do Something Reel" Film Festival is presented in association with Applegate Farms and RiceSelect™, with additional support from Preserve® Gimme 5, a partnership between Preserve®, Stonyfield Farm®, Brita®, Tom's of Maine® and Seventh Generation™, as well as EVOL Foods, Food Should Taste Good and siggi's.

Today is Oscar Wilde's birthday! Wahoo! Why do we care? Well, besides the fact that he was an exceptionally profound intellectual, poet, playwright, novelist, and genius epigram creator, he also authored many of the popular quotes that Gen-Y's use in their yearbooks or post on their Facebook statuses.
So let's celebrate the man whose words are still applicable today -- as evidenced by your friend's status onslaught of "Wilde-isms" after her breakup. After all, who better to take advice from than the man who said himself, "I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself"?
"When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her."

How do you want to travel? Sometimes we choose to improve our hotel reservations by changing the accommodation type we had originally contracted. Making an upgrade can sometimes become a long and winding road that ends up discouraging us.
At Mac Puerto Marina Hotel we want to make things easy for you. We offer you all the facilities of a hotel in Benalmádena when making changes to your reservations. Therefore, we have interviewed Jerónimo Carmona, our head of reception, who explains the main tips for an upgrade at the Hotel Mac Puerto Marina.
Can you tell us what the steps are for an upgrade at the Hotel Mac Puerto Marina?
If a client wants to increase the accommodation type, for example, from bed and breakfast to half board, the first thing to do is contact the hotel reception service. From there we process your request.
Clients who choose to increase their rate will be able to enjoy breakfast and dinner during their stay at the hotel, depending on the board type they choose. Thus, a guest who had only booked room only, can upgrade to bed and breakfast, or half board, which includes breakfast and dinner. The only requirement that you must take into account is that the change is permanent, that is, it applies throughout the guest's whole stay at the hotel.
Once at the hotel, can a guest make an upgrade?
Yes. Whether you have made your reservation with us, or through a tour operator. The only thing that guests have to do is contact us directly to make the change.
It depends on the type of accommodation and board type that has been reserved initially and the type of upgrade that is made. There are different prices, although none exceeds € 12.50 per person per day.
In the case of cancellation, is the money refunded?
If in the end the guest does not want to make an upgrade, the amount paid will be refunded.
Contact our reception team to make any changes that you need to all your reservations and enjoy exclusive accommodation with quality services on the beachfront in Benalmádena.
I am bringing 14 golfers to your hotel from 5th-8th March 2019 via 'Your Golf Travel'. Can I have my room upgraded for free as a thank you?

Review: Mondo Duplantis claims 3rd place at IAAF Diamond League Lausanne Special
Lausanne - On July 5, Swedish pole vaulter Armand "Mondo" Duplantis claimed 3rd place at the IAAF Diamond League event in Lausanne.
Duplantis finished in 3rd place in the men's pole vault competition with a clearance of 5.81 meters, which resulted in a tie with world record holder, French pole vaulter Renaud Lavillenie. For Lavillenie, that height was a second-best score.
American pole vaulter Sam Kendricks finished in second place with a season-best of 5.95 meters, which he cleared on his first attempt. Polish pole vaulter Piotr Lisek also cleared 5.95 meters and was tied with Kendricks, but a jump-off at 6.01 meters worked in Lisek's favor, where he set a personal best of 6.01 meters, as well as a new world-leading mark and a national record for Poland. At the same time, Lisek's 6.01 meter clearance was a new meeting record for the IAAF Diamond League in Lausanne.
Last week, on June 30, as Digital Journal reported, Duplantis won the 2019 Prefontaine Classic, where he set a facility record in Stanford, California, with 5.93 meters.
All of these aforementioned male pole vaulters (Piotr Lisek, Renaud Lavillenie, Mondo Duplantis and Sam Kendricks) will be competing at the 2019 World Championships in Athletics, which will take place this fall in Doha, Qatar.
