Stepping Up Transparency in Political Spending | Commentary
By Rep. Anna G. Eshoo and Michael Copps
Posted January 24, 2014 at 1:33pm
The Supreme Court's wrongheaded Citizens United ruling in 2010 unleashed billions of dollars of unaccountable, anonymous spending on our campaigns. Each election season since has brought more smears from groups whose vague names tell the electorate little of their agendas or backing. Voters should know if groups with names like Citizens for Clean Waters are real grass-roots activists or disguised fronts for the chemical industry, bent on dumping waste in the Potomac River.
This is not a theoretical problem. In California, it took nearly a year for the state's Fair Political Practices Commission to investigate a California Common Cause complaint and track down the source of millions of undisclosed dollars spent to influence state ballot initiatives. As it turned out, the Small Business Action Committee and the California Future Fund were funded by secret donors through a web of shadowy nonprofits connected to billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch.
While the investigation and resulting million-dollar fine in the California case should be commended, they came months after Election Day. The whole point of disclosure laws is that voters should know who is trying to influence us before we cast our ballots. It's time for policymakers to give voters the transparency we deserve.
Donor disclosure requirements for all political ads should be a no-brainer. Although the current Congress is on track to be the most gridlocked in history, our independent regulatory agencies already have all the authority they need to provide more transparency in campaign spending.
In November, the IRS made an important move in that direction, proposing guidelines to clearly define the limits on candidate-related political activity by 501(c)(4) "social welfare" groups. By law, those groups need not disclose their donors and are supposed to stay out of elections. But ambiguity in the IRS's current regulations has encouraged savvy operators in both parties to skirt the law and use money from anonymous donors to make 501(c)(4) groups a major political force.
The new rules, which still need considerable fine-tuning, would not increase disclosure on their own. But they would push big-dollar donors to give directly to candidates, parties or political action committees that are subject to disclosure requirements.
While the IRS is taking indirect steps toward greater transparency, the Securities and Exchange Commission has quietly yielded to a backlash on Capitol Hill and backed away from considering a measure to require publicly traded companies to disclose more of their political activities to their shareholders. The SEC should reconsider and take up the proposal.
The Federal Communications Commission also has an opportunity to boost reform. Since its inception in 1934, the FCC has had legal authority to compel broadcasters to reveal the "true identity" of the sponsors of advertisements. The regulations enforcing that rule have not been updated in decades, however, creating loopholes that shadowy groups exploit. The good news is that these regulations can be updated by the FCC.
According to both the statute and the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office, the FCC's mandate applies equally to commercial and political advertisements. Considering that Congress intended that the commission ensure that broadcasters serve the public interest, the FCC has a responsibility to update its rules and enforce the law.
Nearly three years ago, the Media Access Project asked the FCC to step up and bring accountability to political ad spending. The FCC chairman at the time, Julius Genachowski, chose not to act on this common-sense reform. More recently, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, nearly derailed Tom Wheeler's confirmation to replace Genachowski as FCC chairman over this issue. With Wheeler now at the helm, the FCC has a renewed opportunity to act, and it should.
In the words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, "The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over its government."
Rep. Anna G. Eshoo, D-Calif., is ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology . Former FCC Commissioner Michael Copps leads media reform efforts at Common Cause.

Symbolic Pics of the Month (05/12)
In this month's edition of Symbolic Pics of the Month: Rihanna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and a whole bunch of symbolic images from fashion shoots.
This photoshoot from ELLE Italia features the elite's favorite way of portraying models: As lifeless puppets controlled by unseen handlers
No life, no control and used to sell products. Yup, that pretty much sums up the fashion model.
This calendar from Bazaar also exploits the concept of a controlled puppet. In this case, the handler is shown with one eye hidden and looks quite evil. There is also an emphasis on one of the models eye – as she is a reflection of her handler's will. When decoded this symbolic image is an accurate and disturbing portrayal of the fashion world.
This casual pic found on Beyonce's Tumblr account. It features a ring the singer appears to love as she has been spotted wearing it several times (notably during a performance at Coachella). The ring appears to be nothing else than the head of Baphomet.
Speaking of Baphomet, here's a pic taken from a fan during Lady Gaga's Born This Way Ball Tour. She is wearing a horned mask similar to those worn in Illuminati Balls.
In this other pic, Gaga is hung like a piece of meat with other pieces of meat. She's always engrossing.
In this photoshoot from Vogue US featuring model Natalia Vodianova contains several familiar symbols. In this image, one of her eyes is hidden. Also, in the description of the pic, it is mentioned that the dressed is "like that of the robot in Metropolis". As seen in several previous articles, Metropolis (especially Maria the android) is extremely important in the occult entertainment industry.
In the same photoshoot, the model is shown chilling between two Baphomet-looking heads. The same combination of symbols keeps coming back across the entertainment.
In these pics posted on Rihanna's Twitter account, the singer is wearing Sex-Kitten leopard prints and is saluting her handlers by hiding one eye.
The cover of Rihanna's single "Where Have You Been" also features a prominent one-eye sign.
Speaking of one-eye, here's Kreayshawn's girl Lil' Debbie.
Speaking of one-eye, here's the main image on Cheryl Cole's website.
Speaking of one-eye, here's the album cover of popular polish singer Justyna Steczkowska.
Speaking of one-eye, here's another polish singer Magda Steczkowska.
Speaking of one-eye, here's the cover of Fiona Apple's new album.
Speaking of one-eye, here's an ad for shoes (or something).
Here's a new creepy trend: Girls looking like real life Barbie dolls. I have no idea where this originated from but I believe it is a result of the constant glamorization of deshumanization in mass media.
Is it becoming cool to be lifeless?

Earth's Mantle, Not Its Core, May Have Generated Planet's Early Magnetic Field
Scientists are finding that Earth's mantle may have generated the planet's early magnetic field. Credit: Naeblys
New research lends credence to an unorthodox retelling of the story of early Earth first proposed by a geophysicist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.
In a study appearing March 15 in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, Scripps Oceanography researchers Dave Stegman, Leah Ziegler, and Nicolas Blanc provide new estimates for the thermodynamics of magnetic field generation within the liquid portion of the early Earth's mantle and show how long that field was available.
The paper provides a "door-opening opportunity" to resolve inconsistencies in the narrative of the planet's early days. Significantly, it coincides with two new studies from UCLA and Arizona State University geophysicists that expand on Stegman's concept and apply it in new ways.
"Currently we have no grand unifying theory for how Earth has evolved thermally," Stegman said. "We don't have this conceptual framework for understanding the planet's evolution. This is one viable hypothesis."
The trio of studies are the latest developments in a paradigm shift that could change how Earth history is understood.
It has been a bedrock tenet of geophysics that Earth's liquid outer core has always been the source of the dynamo that generates its magnetic field. Magnetic fields form on Earth and other planets that have liquid, metallic cores, rotate rapidly, and experience conditions that make the convection of heat possible.
In 2007, researchers in France proposed a radical departure from the long-held assumption that the Earth's mantle has remained entirely solid since the very beginnings of the planet. They argued that during the first half of the planet's 4.5-billion-year history, the bottom third of Earth's mantle would have had to have been molten, which they call "the basal magma ocean." Six years later, Stegman and Ziegler expanded upon that idea, publishing the first work showing how this once-liquid portion of the lower mantle, rather than the core, could have exceeded the thresholds needed to create Earth's magnetic field during that time.

The Earth's mantle is made of silicate material that is normally a very poor electrical conductor. Therefore, even if the lowermost mantle were liquid for billions of years, rapid fluid motions inside it wouldn't produce large electrical currents needed for magnetic field generation, similar to how Earth's dynamo currently works in the core. Stegman's team asserted the liquid silicate might actually be more electrically conductive than what was generally believed.
"Ziegler and Stegman first proposed the idea of a silicate dynamo for the early Earth," said UCLA geophysicist Lars Stixrude. The idea was met with skepticism because their early results "showed that a silicate dynamo was only possible if the electrical conductivity of silicate liquid was remarkably high, much higher than had been measured in silicate liquids at low pressure and temperature."
A team led by Stixrude used quantum-mechanical computations to predict the conductivity of silicate liquid at basal magma ocean conditions for the first time.
According to Stixrude, "we found very large values of the electrical conductivity, large enough to sustain a silicate dynamo." The UCLA study appeared in the Feb. 25 issue of Nature Communications.
In another paper, Arizona State geophysicist Joseph O'Rourke applied Stegman's concept to consider whether it's possible that Venus might have at one point generated a magnetic field within a molten mantle.
These new studies are signs that the premise is starting to take hold, but is still far from being widely accepted.
"No one is going to believe it until they do it themselves and now two other highly esteemed scientists have done it themselves," said Stegman.

"The pioneering studies of Dave Stegman and his collaborators directly inspired my work on Venus," said O'Rourke. "Their recent paper helps answer a question that vexed scientists for many years: How has Earth's magnetic field survived for billions of years?"
If Stegman's premise is correct, it would mean the mantle could have provided the young planet's first magnetic shield against cosmic radiation. It could also underpin studies of how tectonics evolved on the planet later in history.
"If the magnetic field was generated in the molten lower mantle above the core, then Earth had protection from the very beginning and that might have made life on Earth possible sooner," Stegman said.
"Ultimately, our papers are complementary because they demonstrate that basal magma oceans are important to the evolution of terrestrial planets," said O'Rourke. "Earth's basal magma ocean has solidified but was key to the longevity of our magnetic field."
The Scripps Oceanography study was funded by the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Energy, and a UC San Diego SEED Fellowship.

Vladimir Luxuria, nascida Wladimiro Guadagno (Foggia, 24 de junho de 1965) é uma activista, política, actriz e personalidade televisiva de nacionalidade italiana.

Luxuria mudou-se para Roma em 1985 para estudar Línguas e Literaturas Estrangeiras e iniciar a sua carreira de actor/actriz fazendo uso da sua ambiguidade sexual. Nesta altura iniciou também o seu envolvimento no movimento de defesa dos direitos dos homossexuais e em 1993 assume a direcção artística do "Circolo di cultura omosessuale Mario Mieli" (Círculo de cultura homossexual Mario Mieli). Em 1991 conseguiu o seu primeiro papel no cinema, no filme Cena alle nove (Jantar às nove) de Paolo Breccia. Desde então realizou mais oito participações em filmes.

Foi responsável pela organização do primeiro Dia Internacional do Orgulho LGBT em Itália, que teve lugar em Roma no dia 2 de Julho de 1994 e no qual participaram cerca de 10 000 pessoas.

Recentemente intensificou a sua actividade política em defesa dos direitos civis, colaborando com vários jornais, revistas e rádios como "L'Unità", "Liberazione" e "Radio Capital". O público televisivo conhece-o sobretudo graças às suas participações no "Maurizio Costanzo Show" do Canale 5 e no programa "Markette" da estação La7.

Em 2006 surge como candidato independente nas listas do partido político Rifondazione Comunista (Refundação Comunista) para a Câmara dos Deputados italiana. A sua candidatura suscitou perplexidade nos sectores moderados e católicos da L'Unione, uma coligação de vários partidos centristas e de esquerda que se apresentam nas eleições liderados por Romano Prodi e na qual se inclui a própria Refundação Comunista; Clemente Mastella, eurodeputado e membro da Unione Democratici per l'Europa definiu Vladimir "como uma ridícula Cicciolina".

A controvérsia em torno da candidatura de Luxuria aumentou quando confessou que tinha praticado a prostituição durante os seus primeiros anos em Roma. O último momento de tensão protagonizado por si ocorreu durante um debate televisivo no qual Alessandra Mussolini, ligada ao partido neofascista Aliança Nacional (em italiano, Alleanza Nazionale), afirmou que "mais vale ser fascista que maricas".

Luxuria define-se como transgénero, uma pessoa que não se identifica nem como homem, nem como mulher, nem se assumindo, por isso, como transexual.

Developments in Head and Neck Cancer Treatment
By John H. Suh, MD, FASTRO, FACR, Editor-in-Chief
Welcome to the March 2021 issue of ARO! This month's focus is head and neck cancer (HNC), and we are pleased to kick off the issue with a well-written and timely article, Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Head and Neck Radiation Therapy. Approved for SA-CME credit, this review delves beyond auto-segmentation to examine the application and clinical impact of AI in dose calculation, adaptive radiation therapy, outcome prediction, quality assurance and more. Better understanding these fundamental concepts will help clinicians maximize the power of machine and deep learning capabilities as AI rapidly advances across numerous specialty areas and fields of medicine, in particular radiation oncology.
Among research presented in the issue, Proliferation Saturation Index (PSI) to Characterize Response to Radiation Therapy and Evaluate Altered Fractionation in Head and Neck Cancer discusses an innovative approach toward personalized radiation treatment. Here, the authors show that the PSI model can simulate HNC patient-specific responses to RT and ultimately help identify which patients may most benefit from radiation treatments.
We also present Upfront Surgery With Adjuvant Radiation Therapy Versus Chemoradiation in HPV-Mediated Oropharyngeal Cancer in Intermediate-Risk Patients: A Multi-Institutional Review. This informative study underscores the importance of examining a wider range of risks and toxicities when determining primary treatment, especially as more radiation oncologists begin to cautiously consider de-escalated therapy strategies.
Beyond the scope of HNC treatment, we are proud to present a terrific SA-CME accredited review on minimizing anxiety and sedation in pediatric oncology patients, a Technology Trends article summarizing updates in heavy particle ion therapy, the Resident Voice editorial urging development in the essential areas of leadership and advocacy, and noteworthy research findings on how prostate stereotactic body radiation therapy with simultaneous moderate dose escalation to the dominant intraprostatic lesion is feasible.
Ten Years Strong
This issue also marks the journal's 10th year in publication, a milestone we celebrate with immense pride and gratitude. While our mission remains the same – to provide practical applications for the management and treatment of cancer patients – we have evolved in many ways since our inception to better serve you. Highlights include the introduction of original research articles in the journal, free SA-CME credits, webinars, ARRO Resident Voice editorials, monthly enewsletters (soon to be biweekly), exponential social media growth, the transition to a robust double-blind peer review process, our ever-growing panel of expert reviewers, and a talented, dedicated editorial advisory board that has doubled in size.
We are tremendously thankful to all those who have supported ARO and contributed to our growth over the last decade and look forward to a better 2021, especially as more of us receive our COVID-19 vaccines. Please stay healthy and safe.

Contract food service is changing and developing. Having a regional company like Prince Food Systems as your partner rather than one of the many conglomerate food services companies has its distinct advantages.
Our experience in servicing public cafeterias has completely transformed many previously unexciting hospital cafeterias into a place the staff, patients and visitors love. They are considered stand-alone restaurants.
Hospital housekeeping services is another area that Prince Food Systems excels in. Our experience has given us the expertise to satisfy even the most exacting Joint Commission inspections and HACCP procedures.
Prince Food Systems takes education seriously, and we are honored to provide school lunch programs to rural school districts throughout Texas. We know that nutrition is a key factor to a student's educational success.
Our philosophy is simple: prepare great food from scratch, using the freshest ingredients, served in generous portions, while keeping the prices at a level that customers find reasonable.

Indian TV Soaps: Why Are We Hooked To Tear, Tragedy And Melodrama?
Soap 1: The main lead is paralyzed neck downwards and only communicates with his eyebrows. Everyone else in the house is crying.
What's an Indian Soap Without A Vamp?
Soap 2: The male lead hates the female lead and has married her under coercion. The female lead and her sisters and her mother and their help (and their dog) are crying.
Soap 3: The mother in law is a sadistic socialite. She treats her daughter-in-law worse than the rag cloth with which the house is dusted every day. The daughter-in-law is crying in the kitchen and mixing her tears into the elaborate meal she is making.
Something emerging as a common trend here?
Why must all the stories we see on soaps these days be so completely tragic? The characters at all points seem so wretchedly sad and forlorn that one often feels the need to immediately pop an anti-depressant!
I had the pleasure of watching every soap on air (and their re-runs in the afternoon), for the past 3 months as I was with my parents after having my baby.
Almost all serials have the same sort of characters: woebegone faces, glycerin infested eyes having just suffered at the hands of an evil character in the story or their worst enemy, destiny, which they blame every time anything bad happens. Which incidentally, is in every episode.
But what is it about these popular family dramas that have people hooked liked addicts?
One would think it's a fairly reasonable assumption that in general, people would prefer to entertain themselves with light hearted content that makes them happy. Then why do we endure tragedy every single evening?
Catharsis: Through all the tears, pain, sorrow and outbursts, there seems to be some sort of cathartic relief associated with watching these soaps. I've seen my grandmother-in-law grind her teeth about how a particular character was so mean, and then with a broad smile and an extra helping of rosogullas, inform me a few weeks later that all is well with the world as that character is behind bars and got what she deserved.
The battle between good and evil engenders a very emotional involvement. So when the bad guys get their just desserts, even though very rare, there is much to be joyous about.
We love drama: Indians, culturally, love drama. Fed on a steady diet of Bollywood dishing out all sorts of storylines; we have all been brought up to view the vicissitudes of life with a sort of curiosity and wide eyed wonder which spills on to day to day life.
Emotions are raw and extreme. The spice of life. Being passive or low key is an unknown concept.
What smart producers have done, is that they have taken this concept, thrown in a beautiful girl, a handsome boy, a poor father, a devoted mother, an evil mother-in-law, garnished with some popular Hindi songs, and ruled over many a dining table and sofas every night.
Over the top entertainment: In almost every other soap you see the same mind numbingly sad but ludicrous scenarios. The hero dies and is reincarnated with the same face but brown hair. Or he loses memory with a whack on the head and after tasting kheer made by mom he remembers everything. And you wonder, "Oh god, how regressive and hyped is this!" Why would anyone believe this nonsense and watch it so religiously!
Well, we are a culture that has a large and varied belief system rooted in miracles, karma, black magic, superstition, and so nothing is too hard to digest. We have a very broad perspective when faced with possibilities and will gladly welcome any line of thought with open arms. The whole entertainment industry is aware of this fact!
Our soaps might use the weirdest camera angles, the most absurd music drumming away with every dialogue, the loudest makeup and the saddest sob stories, but they have had millions hooked. Could it be because we didn't have a choice up until recently?
In the past 2 weeks, the Indian audiences seem to be flocking the fresh, more realistic content brought in by our neighbours. The popularity of the less dramatic closer-to-life shows from Pakistan is an indication that we are more than ready for simple, entertaining stories.
Is the Indian TV industry listening!


After a relaxing week in San Francisco and the North Bay (including an evening concert from Joe Lovano and his new "Classic Quartet"), I am happy to be back in the Jazz Cities as we heat up to the Twin Cities Jazz Festival. Young lions and seasoned veterans, locals and visitors, combine to give us a wide range of modern jazz leading up to Thursdays' official festival opening with Emmet Cohen and Terence Blanchard at Mears Park.
Friday, June 16. At Jazz Central, it's the last chance (for a while at least) to hear UMD bassist Adam Booker before he moves East to a bass faculty position at Appalachian State University. His trio includes Levi Schwartzberg on vibes and Ben Ophoven-Baldwin on drums.
Some cool jazz for dinner sets at the Icehouse brings together Dave Graf and Javi Santiago, trombone and piano, long-lasting veteran and young upstart. And a duo combination seldom heard in jazz.
Saturday, June 17. Saturday Night Jazz at the Black Dog brings back an old Artists Quarter favorite, How Birds Work-- that's Dean Granros, Peter Schimke, Chris Bates and Kenny Horst. The only play a few gigs per year so don't miss this one.
Opening at the Black Dog will be the JazzINK Youth Showcase featuring PAW --Simon Petrick (drums), Jordan Anderson (piano) and Tyler Wagner (bass). Simon is heading to the University of North Texas after studies with Phil Hey and JT Bates, and finishing his senior year of high school in the U of M Jazz Ensemble. Jordan just finished his first year at the U of Michigan where he is studying with ace pianist Benny Green. And Tyler will begin his third year at Berklee College of Music in Boston.
Also Saturday, guitarist Joel Shapira takes the early slot at Vieux Carre' to celebrate the release of his new solo CD, In Essence. This is a stunning collection of Joel's arrangements of jazz standards. Strings also rule at the Icehouse, with guitarist Zacc Harris and bassist Gary Raynor interacting during dinner hours.
The Twin Cities Jazz Festival presents a night of music at the Hennepin Ave United Methodist Church, starting out with the student ensemble Tamberwood, followed by two sets from Cameron Kinghorn and his band, featuring Cameron on vocals.
At Rosemount Central Park, it's the annual Jazz Blast with five bands, including the Twin Cities 7 and Acme Jazz Company. At Public Kitchen, hear the Richard Kronick Quartet, while Debbie Duncan takes over Crooners Lounge.
Sunday, June 18. There's another festival preview on Father's Day afternoon with Doug Little's Charanga Tropical performing in the George Latimer Central Library in downtown St Paul.
In the evening, a treat for jazz vocal fans as Nancy Harms--our Clara City MN native-- returns to the Dunsmore Room with great tunes and arrangements from her Ellington at Night recording as well as new material.
Regina Marie Williams returns to the Dakota with "American Songbook", and a new venue, 56 Brewing, presents young guns-- Jordan Anderson and his trio.
New venue in Northfield--Imminent Brewing opens this weekend and vibraphone master Dave Hagedorn and friends perform today: With bassist Kevin Clements and drummer Eric Hanson, the trio is currently nown as TLA but a change is "imminent" based on feedback!
Monday, June 19. Young guitar whiz Adam Astrup (newly graduated and heading to college studies at the University of Northern Colorado) leads a band at Jazz Central, filled with some familiar names -- Patrick Adkins on keys, Andrew Tomten on sax, Nick Benish on bass, and Simon Petrick on drums.
At the Icehouse, JT's Jazz Implosion hosts a double feature, starting with Jon Davis' quartet (Davis on bass and woodwinds, Chuck Love on trumpet, flute, melodica and percussion, Bryan Nichols on keys and Greg Schutte on drums). The later set features the George Marich Trio, with Marich on drums, George Cartwright on saxes, and Josh Granowski on bass.
The Dakota hosts a very overdue Twin Cities appearance from Canada's multi-reed star Jane Bunnett with her Cuban all-women ensemble, Macqueque. At Crooners Lounge, Linda Peterson starts her happy hour week, on vocals and piano, with Erin Schwab celebrating her birthday during the evening's prime time.
Tuesday, June 20. Pianist Jordan Anderson (again!) brings a quartet to a jazz fest preview gig at Walker West, with support from Peter Goggin, Charlie Lincoln and Edmund Catlin-- three names we also hear a lot of during summer breaks.
At the Black Dog, guitar giant Dean Magraw pairs up with violinist Zosha Warpeha. Zosha is into her final year at New School in New York, and last summer first performed together with Magraw for some amazing fun and interaction among the strings.
It's Explosion Big Band at Jazz Central tonight, while Vieux Carre' holds a piano night-- starting with Chris Lomheim solo, followed by the Jon Pemberton Trio with Jon here on piano.
Wednesday, June 21. The Dakota hosts young piano sensation Christian Sands, most recently handling keys for Christian McBride and the Mack Avenue Superband.
In the Dunsmore Room, vocalist Claudia Schmidt reunites with dazzling guitarist Dean Magraw and the never predictable pianist Bryan Nichols -- a pretty awesome trio.
Vieux Carre' hosts JT Bates and his Grain Trio with Kevin Gastonguay on keys and Zacc Harris on guitar.
And a special event for kids-- Kinderjazz at Landmark Center, a free concert and hands-on experience starting at 10:30 am, music and guidance with Cody McKinney, Pete Hennig and John Keston, complete with instrument "petting zoo." All ages.
Thursday, June 22 is the official opening of the Twin Cities Jazz Festival. At Mears Park, Emmet Cohen and his trio are back after wowing audiences at Crooners and Jazz Central in March; Terence Blanchard and his E-Collective finish off the evening on the Main Stage.
Vieux Carre' has an expanded festival line up this year with Jon Weber solo piano followed by the Mary Louise Knutson Trio, and the Black Dog hosts five bands including the Mac Santiago Quartet--all next Thursday.
Away from the festival, Khyber Pass presents Stew Frog: Scott Fultz on sax and electronics, Steve Goldstein on lap electronics and percussion, and Dean Granros on guitar and synth. And at the Bad Waitress (on Nicollet), Thursday night jazz continues with Pete Whitman and Peter Schimke, sax and piano duo.
There's always more jazz around the Metro every week. See the Live jazz calendar posted on the KBEM website, and see more about jazz events at jazzpolice.com --online and on facebook. Andrea's guest next week will be our festival house pianist and certainly one of the nation's most talented and most knowledgable jazz artists, Jon Weber Tune in at the usual time to hear Jon's take on the 2017 festival.

Sutkagan Dor (or Sutkagen Dor) is the westernmost known archaeological site of the Indus Valley civilization. It is located about 480 km west of Karachi on the Makran coast near Gwadar, close to the Iranian border, in Pakistan's Baluchistan Province. The site is near the western bank of the Dasht River and its confluence with a smaller stream, known as the Gajo Kaur. It was a smaller settlement with substantial stone walls and gateways.

Excavations
Sutkagan Dor was discovered in 1875 by Major Edward Mockler, who conducted small-scale excavation.

In 1928 Aurel Stein visited the area as part of his Gedrosia tour, and carried out further digs. In October 1960, Sutkagan Dor was more extensively excavated by George F. Dales as a part of his Makran Survey, uncovering structures made from stone and mud bricks without straw.

Architecture
This site measures approximately 4.5 hectares (300 × 150 m). Along with the typical "citadel" and "lower town", there is a massive fortification wall of semi-dressed stones. This citadel wall varies in height and thickness due to the irregular contours of the natural rock foundation, but at one point about midway along the eastern wall, it is approximately 7.5 m thick at the base. The inner face of the wall is slightly battered, whereas the outer face has a decided slope, varying from 23° to 40°.

Coastal route
Though inland at present, the site may have been near navigable water in ancient times, on a trade route between other centers. A coastal route existed linking sites such as Lothal and Dholavira to Sutkagan Dor on the Makran coast. It has been suggested that the site may well have been an important trading post, connecting seaborne trade from the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea to the hinterland.

Findings
Stein recovered 127 flint blades without cores measuring up to 27.5 cm. Stone vessels, stone arrowheads, copper arrowheads, shell beads, pottery, and various other items were found. A copper-bronze disc probably associated with the Bactria–Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC) was also discovered there.

Merry Christmas everyone! Today is another day of the year to celebrate and be thankful for all the blessings that we received. Although I experienced some rough roads this month which included the disablement of my 'online bank account' and the further delay of the yields of my angel investing activities because of some problems with advertisers leading to liquidity problems of my business partner, still there's a lot of things to be thankful for.
Before the year ends, we once again needed to make our New Year's resolutions for the upcoming year. We must change our bad habits for a brighter future. In order for us to determine the things which needed changes, then we must first examine ourselves.
In the December 2011 issue of Good House Keeping Magazine, my article "5 Money Questions to Ask Yourself" was featured.

What's happening? If you've tried our oil and water experiment you'll know that the two don't mix very well. The oil and water you added to the bottle separate from each other, with oil on top because it has a lower density than water. how to make a bottle in terraria xbox First I add vegetable oil to a bottle that is 1/3 full of water. Next I added 12 drops of food coloring. Then I added 2 tablets of Alka-seltzer. And finally it's complete??.
1. What you need: A bottle of whisky � It must have a screw top. Petroleum based wax � You can buy wax in bags from craft shops, but the best thing to do is buy a packet of cheap, white candles.
Decide on a color for your �lava lamp� bottle. Select the food coloring accordingly. Select the food coloring accordingly. Add 10 or more drops of food coloring to the bottle until a rich color is seen.
See our original lava lamp post for a full explanation. Why does oil sit on top of water? The reason that oil rests on top of the water rather than underneath is because it has a different density to water, water is denser and so sinks to the bottom.

Diamond Symmetry | How is Diamond Symmetry Graded?
Documented in a diamond's certification, the symmetry refers to how symmetrical the facets and angles are in a diamond, and how precisely those facets align and intersect with each other.
Often paired with Polish in a grading report, the symmetry of a diamond dictates the overall finish and quality of a diamond's appearance. A diamond with symmetry will direct light correctly and (in a small way) contribute to the final brilliance of the stone.
To begin building an understanding of symmetry and its final effect on a diamond, it is important to understand the relevant features and facets of the stone being assessed. For simplicity, I will be using a round brilliant in all the examples given.
How is Diamond Symmetry Graded?
During the cutting process, an expert cutter will sometimes make the decision to sacrifice perfect symmetry in order to achieve the maximum value out of the rough stone. These decisions often prioritize carat weight retention, but also allow for a finish that will eliminate flaws within in the diamond.
Fair – Any defects are visible at 10x magnification and may be visible to the naked eye. Lustre affected.
Poor – Defects are visible to the naked eye. Lustre severely affected.
It is very rare to see an accidental symmetry flaw in a diamond with a Cut grading of 'Very Good' or above. It is far more likely that a skilled cutter has deliberately made this decision to benefit the finish of the stone.
A diamond with an overall cut rating of 'fair' can still hold a symmetry grade of 'very good'. The final cut grade can be much lower than the symmetry. However, the cut grade can only ever be one grade higher than the symmetry grade. For example, a diamond with a symmetry of 'very good' may still hold an overall cut quality of 'excellent', if the other factors deem it to be within the parameters of 'excellent'.
When considering symmetry as a single influencer, it does not have a large impact on the price of a stone. Rather, it is all the factors that come together to determine the diamond's Cut quality that will have a greater influence on the cost.
Off Girdle – This affects the outline of the stone. The diamond may not appear perfectly round (when using round brilliant as an example), and may have squared off edges.
Off-Centre Table – When viewed from the crown, table facet is not perfectly centralized.
Off-Centre Cutlet – Point where the pavilion mains meet is not centralized.
Wavy Girdle – Girdle appearance is not consistent and instead has a wave-like appearance.
Girdle Variation – Irregular girdle width around the diamond's ring.
The second subdivision of symmetry flaws is facet flaws. The ultimate goal is for facets to be regular, for example, pavilion main facets should look the same, bezel facets should look the same, and so on.
Non-Pointing Facets – These are facts that do not meet up precisely at the necessary points.
Truncated Facets – Facets that do not meet or end correctly at the girdle.
Table not a regular Octagon – Unequal or irregular table facet.
Missing of Additional Facets – Facets have been removed or added to remove inclusions (at the cost of the symmetry).
How Important is Diamond Symmetry?
It is fair to assume that with facets lining correctly, and an excellent symmetry grade, this would automatically guarantee a fantastic light return and overall sparkle to the stone. This is not the case. Light return is hugely influenced by the initial cut of the diamond, that is to say the size and depth of the table, crown and pavilion angles, and other aspects which are determined prior to symmetry and polish.
As I mentioned before, a diamond with a high symmetry grade can still be given a much lower overall cut grade. A diamond with 'Very Good' symmetry can still appear brilliant and full of life if the other factors compensate; and a diamond with 'Excellent' symmetry can appear dull and lifeless if the relevant proportions are lacking.
When looking at diamonds with a symmetry grading of 'Good', or above, the naked eye simply cannot see the small flaws or differences. An expert using a 10x loupe may be able to distinguish between a 'Good' and 'Excellent' grading, but if you were to look at two stones side by side, that were identical except for symmetry, you simply would not be able to determine a difference.
Although the visual impact seems minimal, the symmetry of a diamond can have an impact on the final value. It is important to note that these price variations are only really felt when a diamond has 'Fair' or 'Poor' symmetry. These grades have a much larger visual impact on the diamond, and their flaws can present the appearance of dark spots and a misshapen stone.
When considering diamond symmetry in any capacity, the greatest variations and noticeable differences will always be most identifiable at the bottom of the spectrum.
If you are considered a Hearts and Arrows diamond, rest assured that an excellent cut, symmetry and polish are a prerequisite for this optical patterning. An excellent cut grade does not mean a round brilliant will display the desirable Hearts and Arrows patterning, but Hearts and Arrows patterning does indicate an excellent cut.
The nature of a Hearts & Arrows diamond demands the most precise proportions and symmetry, with only the best diamonds qualifying as a true Hearts and Arrows stone.
Ultimately, the cut proportions are always going to have a greater impact on the visual finish of the diamond. The overall cut grade will encompass symmetry; therefore, this should always be at the center of your decision.
If you want a high-quality stone, look at diamonds with a symmetry grade of 'Very Good' or 'Excellent', as the differences between the two are indistinguishable to the naked eye. The symmetry of a stone should not be the primary factor when choosing a diamond, rather it should be used as a deal breaker when looking for the best quality diamond possible.
Leading online diamond sellers will have the symmetry information display in their diamond listings, so as long as you stick with reputable jewelers like James Allen, Whiteflash or Blue Nile then you're in safe hands.
Companies like Whiteflash offer their own specialized H&A diamonds, ones which have been cut to a Super Ideal grading, giving optimum light reflection, superb symmetry and breath-taking fire. Whiteflash's A CUT ABOVE® Hearts and Arrows Diamonds are of the highest quality and cut standard. Hearts on Fire also offer H&A cut diamonds, as do James Allen with their True Hearts Line.

Thank you for allowing us the privilege of providing your child with gentle, excellent, and professional pediatric dental care. Similar to pediatricians in the medical field, pediatric dentists are dental specialists and spend an additional 2 to 3 years after completing dental school to provide comprehensive dental care to infants, children, and adolescents.
We believe that every child should have the benefit of excellent dental and oral care for health, function and beauty. We also believe that children are unique and special, therefore, the care that we provide for them is based on their individual maturity and emotional needs.
Infants, children, and teenagers all need different approaches in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development, managing their dental treatment needs, and helping them avoid future dental problems.
Ultimately, we strive to foster an environment and provide the experience to help teach children to feel good about taking care of their teeth and seeing the dentist.
Our office is committed to provide the latest and best dental care. As the science of dentistry expands through research and development of new methods, materials, and equipment, we participate regularly in continuing education and investment of time, energy, and funds to maintain and keep our skills current to benefit your child's dental and physical health. For example, our office is now fully integrated with all digital X-rays which can reduce your child's already safe radiation exposure by up to 90%.
We are fully committed to continual education and learning. We attend dental lectures, meetings, and dental conventions to stay informed of new techniques, the latest products, and the newest equipment that a modern dental office can utilize to provide state-of-the-art dental care. Also, being members of various professional dental associations helps us to stay abreast of the changes and recommendations for our profession.
Infection control in our office is also very important to us and protecting your child's health is our top priority. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes. Special equipment such as ultrasonic cleaners, steam and heat sterilizers, self-contained water supply, and the use of disposable instruments and materials are used routinely. Our office meets or exceeds ALL the sterilization and infection control guidelines by using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC). We are very proud of our sterilization program, and we welcome any questions you may have about our methods.
As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to your child's optimal dental health. We strive to provide "dental health care" vs. "disease care". That's why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your child's teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary. We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your child's smile, we're also concerned about their health. A review of their medical history can help us stay informed of their overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact their dental health.
Our office provides emergency care during normal office hours. After regular office hours, please call the main office at 593-8828 and you will be instructed on how to reach your doctors.
Our office offers a variety of payment options. For your convenience, we accept personal checks, cash, Mastercard, VISA and Discover. Payment plans can also be arranged and are individualized. We participate with most dental insurance plans. We try to keep up on the latest insurance trends to help you maximize you insurance benefits.
As a courtesy to our patients, we will accept assignment of benefits on most major insurance policies and will prepare and file your claim. However, we do ask that you pay your deductible, co-payment, or non-covered service portions at the time of your visit.
We sincerely trust that you and your child will find the first and all visits to our office comfortable and rewarding. We appreciate your entrusting your child's dental care to us and appreciate your referral of family and friends to our office.

Hot Ticket: Tim and Eric & Dr. Steve Brule @ Lincoln Theatre, 10/9
Tim and Eric @ Dr. Steve Brule Live @ Lincoln Theatre 10/9
If you've caught the Adult Swim programming late night on the Cartoon Network anytime in the last 10 years, you've likely encountered surrealist comedy duo Tim and Eric (born Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim).
The two have a new show coming up on the Cartoon Network with Tim and Eric's Bedtime Stories, and their well-regarded last show, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, spun off Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule (portrayed by John C. Reilly).
This Thursday, Oct. 9, the Lincoln Theatre hosts two live performances by Tim and Eric AND Dr. Steve Brule—at 7pm and 10pm! The comedy concert promises to bring elements of their television programming to a live venue as Dr. Steve Brule "discovers and shares bits of great knowledge about all areas of life," in a manner similar to his television show.
The Los Angeles Times gave the stage show a positive review when it hit the west coast last month, as Randall Roberts described some of it:
For their part, the characters played by Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, the comedy team whose cockeyed sketch series "Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" birthed the cult of Brule, were just as busy and equally disconcerting. As unprepared but confident "improvisers," the pair set the tone early by utterly failing at improv — with Heidecker shushing and berating the crowd for ruining his focus.

Q: Jasmine.js Testing - spy on window.process How can I mock window.process
I tried this:
 spyOn(window, 'process').and.returnValue(value);

But it will return a linting error on process: Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'never'.
How can I fix this?

A: Usually, if you're absolutely sure that this should work for your situation, I just use the as any cast.
spyOn(window, 'process').and.returnValue(value as any);

I am assuming this is TypeScript.

The plight of the Jewish Refugees of WW2 is an echo of the plight of refugees down the centuries and I am afraid that even with all our bluster and "open arms" we are still treating refugees of all kinds the same.
Today I am talking about war from a different angle. The angle of the displaced, the refugee, the stateless, the homeland less, the unwanted. Imagine one day you are told, pack a suit case and get out of your house you no lonlger belong in this country you have no rights here, you own nothing here. Go or we will kill you.
It would be wrong, unthinkable you would call the papers, call the police but no one is interested in you. You are nothing, you no longer exist. No, No I hear you saying this could not happen…. IT IS ALL OVER THE WORLD IT IS HAPPENING. In Africa, China, USSR,The Middle East in fact I believe that to some extent it is happening in every country of this world.
We have learned nothing. This quote "Dreamed I saw a building with a thousand floors,A thousand windows and a thousand doors; Not one of them was ours, my dear, not one of them was ours. Sadly that says it all.
The plight of the Refugee is still with us, some get separated and relatives can spend years trying to trace each other, yes even in this internet world it can still happen. I do not know the answer I am just doing my challenge and learning so much as I do. … I am ashamed.
Refugee Blues by W H Auden
Say this city has ten million souls,
Some are living in mansions, some are living in holes:
Yet there's no place for us, my dear, yet there's no place for us.
Once we had a country and we thought it fair,
Look in the atlas and you'll find it there:
We cannot go there now, my dear, we cannot go there now.
In the village churchyard there grows an old yew,
Every spring it blossoms anew;
Old passports can't do that, my dear, old passports can't do that.
The consul banged the table and said:
'If you've got no passport, you're officially dead';
But we are still alive, my dear, but we are still alive.
Went to a committee; they offered me a chair;
Asked me politely to return next year:
But where shall we go today, my dear, but where shall we go today?
Came to a public meeting; the speaker got up and said:
'If we let them in, they will steal our daily bread';
He was talking of you and me, my dear, he was talking of you and me.
Thought I heard the thunder rumbling in the sky;
It was Hitler over Europe, saying: 'They must die';
We were in his mind, my dear, we were in his mind.
Saw a poodle in a jacket fastened with a pin,
Saw a door opened and a cat let in:
But they weren't German Jews, my dear, but they weren't German Jews.
Went down the harbour and stood upon the quay,
Saw the fish swimming as if they were free:
Only ten feet away, my dear, only ten feet away.
Walked through a wood, saw the birds in the trees;
They had no politicians and sang at their ease:
They weren't the human race, my dear, they weren't the human race.
Dreamed I saw a building with a thousand floors,
A thousand windows and a thousand doors;
Not one of them was ours, my dear, not one of them was ours.
Stood on a great plain in the falling snow;
Ten thousand soldiers marched to and fro:
Looking for you and me, my dear, looking for you and me.
Wystan Hugh Auden was born in York, England, in 1907. He moved to Birmingham during childhood and was educated at Christ Church, Oxford. As a young man he was influenced by the poetry of Thomas Hardy and Robert Frost, as well as William Blake, Emily Dickinson, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Old English verse. At Oxford his precocity as a poet was immediately apparent, and he formed lifelong friendships with two fellow writers, Stephen Spender and Christopher Isherwood
He has been admired for his unsurpassed technical virtuosity and an ability to write poems in nearly every imaginable verse form; the incorporation in his work of popular culture, current events, and vernacular speech; and also for the vast range of his intellect, which drew easily from an extraordinary variety of literatures, art forms, social and political theories, and scientific and technical information. He had a remarkable wit, and often mimicked the writing styles of other poets such as Emily Dickinson, W. B. Yeats, and Henry James. His poetry frequently recounts, literally or metaphorically, a journey or quest, and his travels provided rich material for his verse.
He visited Germany, Iceland, and China, served in the Spanish Civil war, and in 1939 moved to the United States, where he met his lover, Chester Kallman, and became an American citizen. His own beliefs changed radically between his youthful career in England, when he was an ardent advocate of socialism and Freudian psychoanalysis, and his later phase in America, when his central preoccupation became Christianity and the theology of modern Protestant theologians. A prolific writer, Auden was also a noted playwright, librettist, editor, and essayist. Generally considered the greatest English poet of the twentieth century, his work has exerted a major influence on succeeding generations of poets on both sides of the Atlantic.
W. H. Auden was a Chancellor of The Academy of American Poets from 1954 to 1973, and divided most of the second half of his life between residences in New York City and Austria. He died in Vienna in 1973. For more information please visit http://www.poets.org/poet.php/prmPID/120

Today, MocaMedia's Gwen Alston and I discussed her presentation at Berklee School of Music in Valencia, Spain, to more fully answer a participant's question about the key component in music. In music, like all the arts, the content creator's particular style is their key component. Glenn Gould, Tracy Chapman, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Madonna, Alicia Keys, Bruno Mars,…all have their own particular stylistic expression which marks their work.
A couple of years ago, I walked into a club on the upper west-side to hear Shaynee Rainbolt sing. As soon I walked in I heard a familiar voice but it took me a couple of seconds to put a face on it. Then, I realized it my friend Pamela Luss whom I had the pleasure of listening to when she was singing down on the Bowery. A sweeter voice is hard to come by.
An artist's key component is subtle, yet very distinct, and they use it to make a connection with their audience.
What is your key component? Mine is identifying yours and helping you to build a successful business on it.
