Pompeii is an amazing city and a must-do during every trip to Italy. You can visit it traveling by train just 30 minutes from Naples.
Pompeii and Herculaneum: Why You Have to Visit Them
Pompeii was destroyed by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD and most of it was buried under volcanic ashes. This made it possible for houses, villas and artifacts to be preserved for centuries.Pompeii and Herculaneum started to emerge in the 18th century when excavations began.And because of its extraordinary and unique state of conservation of houses, shops and public buildings, this city has the UNESCO World Heritage Site status.But there is something that is often omitted by art textbooks and from the official travel guide books of Naples and Amalfi Coast: the gay erotic art.
Discovering the Erotic Art
Visiting the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum it seems impossible to not see giant penises all around! Sculptured on the walls, painted on the frescoes and on the mosaic artworks. Just walk in Pompeii and you will see more penises that in an entire life!Before going to Pompeii, make sure to visit the Secret Museum in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. Here you see a very interesting exhibition of Roman erotic artifacts that came from the excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum.For years, this artwork was perceived as obscene and visitors were not be allowed to see them. When King Charles III of Bourbon saw the famous marble sculpture of the god Pan having sex with a she-goat for the first time, he was so horrified that he locked the sculpture in a cabinet at the Herculaneum Academy in Naples. This artifact was locked away from the public for nearly 200 years and was opened to the public only in the 2000s.
What to See in Pompeii
Walking down the streets of Pompeii and Herculaneum you can see all the phalluses, as well as frescoes of the god of sex and fertility, Priapus that is often shown with a oversized erection.

Most of the artwork that is visible today are in the 'Lupanar of Pompeii', reopened to the public in 2006. This was a sex house and the paintings depicting sex acts are all around its walls.Some people say that this fresco indicates the services offered to the brothel's clientele, while others say that their only purpose was to decorate the walls with joyful scenes and with images popular in Roman culture.Here the numerous old wall paintings show explicit scenes of sex between straight couples, gay couples and group sex.What we know today is that the prostitutes of the brothel's house was both female and male as well as its clients. Prostitution was legal in Pompeii as in the Roman cities and married men were allowed to sleep with anyone regardless of gender.And this is one of the most interesting sights to discover in the frescoes: a fascinating and true glimpse into the ancient sex lives of Roman people.

Home Free Analysis ETFs with a 0.00% Fee. Is it Possible?
The race to the bottom is expected to persist with rumours that Vanguard Group and Fidelity Investments will follow BlackRock and Schwab on non-differentiable plain vanilla ETFs. Increasing regulatory pressure to protect investor's retirement savings is expected force financial advisors to choose low cost and good performing ETFs indiscriminately. Therefore, it might pay off to reduce fees in order to retain existing investors. It may also pay off to reduce fees before the competition in order to capture what's left of the early mover or first mover advantage for new investors.
Most ETFs charge management fees. There are very few funds that do not.
For example, the Cambria Global Asset Allocation ETF, listed as GAA, which is run by Cambria Investment Management charges a management fee of zero. However, some individual funds within the larger GAA ETF charge a fee of 0.25%. Deborah Fuhr, partner in the ETFGI London research firm, alluded that there are already at least 2 ETFs with zero total expenses in Europe already. While some would be happy and content with zero management fee in the case of the Cambria or zero net expenses in the case of 2 European ETFs, others are wanting to push the envelope even further.
Others ponder if the market makers in the ETF industry, such as BlackRock and Vanguard, will eventually start paying investors and advisors to invest in their funds. Therefore, we will go from a business model that charges fees to one that pays investors in order to get their business. This new business model is plausible, especially for large investors, who routinely park large sums of capital in the vaults of ETF and ETP service providers.
It is definitely an exciting time for investors in the ETF investment space as we watch the ETF industry evolve.

Natasha Trethewey
Natasha Trethewey is the Library of Congress's Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry for 2012-2013. Born in Gulfport, Mississippi, Trethewey received a BA from the University of Georgia, an MA from Hollins College (now Hollins University), and an MFA from the University of Massachusetts. Her first book of poems, Domestic Work (2000), was selected by former Poet Laureate Rita Dove as winner of the inaugural 1999 Cave Canem Poetry Prize and was published by Graywolf Press. Her subsequent poetry collections include33333�44444Bellocq's Ophelia33333�44444(Graywolf Press, 2002),33333�44444Native Guard33333�44444(Houghton Mifflin, 2006), and33333�44444Thrall33333�44444(Houghton Mifflin, 2012). In 2010, Trethewey published33333�44444Beyond Katrina: A Meditation on the Mississippi Gulf Coast33333�44444(University of Georgia Press), a memoir that details the struggles of her family living in Mississippi in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Her honors include the Pulitzer Prize and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2012, she was appointed the State Poet Laureate of Mississippi.
GC: This is the Poet and the Poem, from the Library of Congress, I'm Grace Cavalieri. Natasha Trethewey is with us. She's the nineteenth Poet Laureate of the Unites States, and today she's ours. So I want to say welcome from me, and from the public radio audience. I want to know something, Natasha. How did you learn you were going to be Poet Laureate, and when did this happen?
NT: It happened on May 7. Dr. Billington, the Librarian of Congress called me at home; and I saw on my caller ID, "Library of Congress," and I thought, what can that be?
GC: They want me to give a reading!
NT: You know I'd been invited to the book festival before, so certainly it could have been something like that. I had a new book coming out, so it would have made sense. But I answered the phone, and he introduced himself over the phone, and then asked me if I would serve as the Poet Laureate, and I was thrilled.
GC: And what was your answer?
NT: I said33333�44444.
GC: Now let me think.
NT: Well, first of all I asked if he was joking; if this was a joke. I said, "Really, Dr. Billington, it's you?
GC: Aww. Well last night, I saw something I haven't seen in a very long time. When you came out on stage at the Library of Congress, the entire audience stood up. I thought, a standing ovation before she reads? And then a standing ovation after. So let's have our audience get a little taste of what that was about, and please give us an opening poem.
NT: I'd like to start with a poem called, Help 1968. It's after a photograph from The Americans, by Robert Frank.
Help, 1968.
GC: That was the voice of Natasha Trethewey. We're at the Library of Congress. She's our nineteenth Poet Laureate. She was born in Gulfport, Mississippi. She's the author of four poetry collections, and a book of prose. Her honors include the Pulitzer Prize, fellowships from the Guggenheim, the National Endowment for the arts, and she is presently the state Poet Laureate for Mississippi.
NT: Yes.
GC: Two at once. Are you going to visit Mississippi?
NT: I'm going to Mississippi next week, as a matter of fact.
GC: And I understand you're going to really take up residence here.
NT: That's right. I'll move here in January, and get to spend that half of my term, through June, here.
GC: And not since we've had poetry consultants, since before Congress legislated that term as Laureate, has anyone occupied that office.
NT: That's right.
GC: What made you do that?
NT: Well, I think I really wanted to start off my term by being in residence, so that I might meet with the public here at the library; this most wonderful public space of our nation. And I also have fond memories of working on my last collection of poems, Native Guard, in the reading room of the library; doing research in the archives, and then doing the poems - writing, studying, thinking - in the lovely reading room. I wanted to get some of that back. This is a very inspiring place for me.
GC: Well, Natasha Trethewey has the idea of poetry equaling service; and you're known for that. So you're bringing public service to our capital. And I think you're going to get a lot of phone calls.
NT: I bet. I hope so.
GC: Take your vitamins. The thing about your poetry, as I have been following you, and as I listened last night, is not only the father figure, which is a thread, but the triad, which we heard partly in the first poem. The triad of the mother, daughter, and father; the triangle; this is very important in your work. But, in a triangle, there's always an odd man out. So that adds a dramatic tension. There's always someone off stage in your poetry, and I find that gives it a lot of tension. Let's move on and hear some more. Let's hear Elegy.
NT: This is a slightly different kind of elegy because, of course, my father is still alive. Elegy: For My Father.
I think by now the river must be thick
with salmon. Late August, I imagine it
as it was that morning: drizzle needling
the surface, mist at the banks like a net
settling around us—everything damp
and shining. That morning, awkward
and heavy in our hip waders, we stalked
into the current and found our places—
you upstream a few yards and out
far deeper. You must remember how
the river seeped in over your boots
and you grew heavier with that defeat.
All day I kept turning to watch you, how
first you mimed our guide's casting
then cast your invisible line, slicing the sky
between us; and later, rod in hand, how
you tried—again and again—to find
that perfect arc, flight of an insect
skimming the river's surface. Perhaps
you recall I cast my line and reeled in
two small trout we could not keep.
Because I had to release them, I confess,
I thought about the past—working
the hooks loose, the fish writhing
in my hands, each one slipping away
before I could let go. I can tell you now
that I tried to take it all in, record it
for an elegy I'd write—one day—
when the time came. Your daughter,
I was that ruthless. What does it matter
if I tell you I learned to be? You kept casting
your line, and when it did not come back
empty, it was tangled with mine. Some nights,
dreaming, I step again into the small boat
that carried us out and watch the bank receding—
my back to where I know we are headed.
GC: The voice of Natasha Trethewey. Rita Dove was quite right when she said that your poetry has many levels, and layers, and nuances. Not only is it a narrative, but there's much there. I was thinking of how important the father figure is, in literature, from the beginning of time, and how that's threaded through your mythology. Would you tell us about how important you think that is to your work?
NT: Well you know Grace, it was interesting when you said, about the triangle; and how sometimes someone's sort of outside of that. There may be the two that are highlighted, and the third is left behind. My last book was very much about my mother. There are many elegies to my mother in Native Guard. And I can remember sometimes Q and A's I would have with the audience afterwards, and people would ask me, well don't you ever write about your father? And he had made an appearance in my first book in some ways, but probably that absent part of the triangle that you mentioned. So, this is a book very much dedicated to him, and about him.
GC: And what is the title?
NT: The book is called Thrall.
GC: Who's putting it out?
NT: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt brought this out.
GC: Well it's a beautiful book in its appearance, and it's a beautiful book in its content. So we will go further and farther into it now. Let's have another poem.
NT: Alright. Well I thought I'd read a poem, which is a third section of a larger poem called Mythology. My father, when I was a little girl, used to recite poems to me. He also would read stories from mythology, and also other classical narratives. And one of the things that he did before I went to bed sometimes was recite, sometimes in old English, the scene from Beowulf in which Grendel is knocking on the mess hall door. This is part three, from Mythology.
In this dream I am driving
a car, strapped to my seat
like Odysseus to the mast,
my father calling to me
from the back—luring me
to a past that never was. This
is the treachery of nostalgia.
This is the moment before
a ship could crash onto the rocks,
the car's back wheels tip over
a cliff. Steering, I must be
the crew, my ears deaf
to the sound of my father's voice;
I must be the captive listener
cleaving to his words. I must be
singing this song to myself.
GC: I don't think we can underestimate how important it is to write poetry in order to find out who we are. I think that that sounds very self-absorbed, but it's not. It's quite the opposite, isn't it? To know who we are in the world, and to puzzle that out; and what you do, I realized this more in watching you than in reading you, is that you find the fiercest truth possible, and then the best possible language to parry that; to get the truth out. But you start with the deepest truth.
NT: I think I start with the deepest truths which are for me often historical truths. I am of course, as you say, interested in investigating the self, and making sense my place in the world. And it seems to me the only way to do it is to make sense of my place in the continuum of history. What are those things that happened in the past that have everything to do with this moment, and me in it.
GC: And I feel that partly the choice, in addition to your poetry, the reason you're our laureate is because of your scholarship. Because it is really such a contribution to have the poem reflected in great works of art; in historical moments. And that is what you are known for.
NT: Well poetry is exciting to me because it is about discovery; and of course so is doing research. And they naturally go together for me.
GC: Why was the word "ruthless" in your poem Elegy? Why? The word ruthless was such a pristine choice of words, and it has a light all around it in that poem. Why ruthless?
NT: Well, you know that's the first poem in the book, and I wanted to set up immediately the sense that I am making poems, not only about public history, but also about personal history. And in that way, telling the details of aspects of my relationship with my father; with my mother; and I think it does take a kind of ruthlessness to be willing to make of those things, art.
GC: Well said. Natasha has taught English at Auburn University. She moved to Emory. She's now the Charles Howard Candler professor of English and creative writing, and that's at Emory?
GC: You're at Emory now. And you were the Lehman Brady joint chair professor of documentary in American studies at Duke University and the University of North Carolina.
GC: Both at once?
GC: Okay. Then you served as the James Weldon Johnson fellow in African American studies at Yale, Beinecke Library.
NT: Yes
GC: Couldn't you hold a job? What is it with you, Natasha?
NT: The whole time that I was taking those posts, I was actually an Emory professor.
GC: Oh they're visiting professorships?
NT: So they're just visiting professorships.
GC: And you're taking sabbatical?
GC: Ah. That's excellent. I have to mention your prose, because I really believe that it's important for a poet to be able to right prose.
GC: And Beyond Katrina was such a different book from any other book about that disaster, because of your approach.
NT: Thank you.
GC: Can you tell us, first of all, why beyond Katrina, not after Katrina? That word is such a poet's word.
NT: Well, because the book wasn't simply about the aftermath of Katrina. It was beyond both into the past, and into the future. What the, sort of, making of my hometown was that led up to that moment of the storm and its aftermath. And then a projection; a kind of meditation into the future about what Katrina is going to mean in the rebuilding and recovery efforts in people's lives for many years to come.
GC: Let's go, give a little taste of some of the historical detail that you use in your work. So, it could be, ekphrasis? Is that the word?
NT: Sure.
GC: Tell us about that word.
NT: Well, I'm going to read an ekphrastic poem, which is of course, just a poem about a work of art. And I refer constantly in my work to other works of art; to be in conversation with them.
GC: Are you an art historian?
NT: I am not. But I've had to study enough in order to understand something about the iconography of paintings.
GC: It's clear in your work that you really know a lot about art; in all of your books.
NT: Well that's another fun part, as I said, about doing research and writing poems. This is after a painting by Diego Velazquez, circa 1619. It's called Kitchen Maid at Supper with Emmaus or the Mulata.
She is the vessels on the table before her:
the copper pot tipped toward us, the white pitcher
clutched in her hand, the black one edged in red
and upside down. Bent over, she is the mortar
and the pestle at rest in the mortar—still angled
in its posture of use. She is the stack of bowls
and the bulb of garlic beside it, the basket hung
by a nail on the wall and the white cloth bundled
in it, the rag in the foreground recalling her hand.
She's the stain on the wall the size of her shadow—
the color of blood, the shape of a thumb. She is echo
of Jesus at table, framed in the scene behind her:
his white corona, her white cap. Listening, she leans
into what she knows. Light falls on half her face.
GC: Natasha Trethewey. We're at the Library of Congress, and she will be in residence here for 2013. Your poetry does not try to convert anyone. Your poetry does not try to persuade us, or give us a polemical idea of how things should be; even though the poet stands between us and society, which is a pretty big bridge. But yet, it does persuade us. Can you explain that awareness, and how that happens?
NT: I've thought about that a lot; and I want to make use of imagery in poems to show a vision of the world. And of course it is as I see it. But I want to present it in the poems in such a way that you might see it also; that might persuade you. And so, the image is the thing that does the work of argument for me.
GC: The work of argument; that's going to be a good title for an essay. So move us further on into your own work, please.
NT: Why don't I read Illumination now. Because this is very much a poem about research, and knowledge, and trying to continue the process of, the ongoing process, of the life of the mind; of discovery. Illumination.
Always there is something more to know
what lingers at the edge of thought
awaiting illumination as in
this second-hand book full
of annotations daring the margins in pencil
a light stroke as if
the writer of these small replies
meant not to leave them forever
meant to erase
evidence of this private interaction
Here a passage underlined there
a single star on the page
as in a night sky cloud-swept and hazy
where only the brightest appears
a tiny spark I follow
its coded message try to read in it
the direction of the solitary mind
that thought to pencil in
a jagged arrow It
is a bolt of lightning
where it strikes
I read the line over and over
as if I might discern
the little fires set
the flames of an idea licking the page
how knowledge burns Beyond
the exclamation point
its thin agreement angle of surprise
there are questions the word why
So much is left
untold Between
the printed words and the self-conscious scrawl
between what is said and not
white space framing the story
the way the past unwritten
eludes us So much
is implication the afterimage
of measured syntax always there
ghosting the margins that words
their black-lined authority
do not cross Even
as they rise up to meet us
the white page hovers beneath
silent incendiary waiting
GC: Oh. Those three bullets, at the end. And you believe this so much, you don't even have to look at the page.
NT: You know, when I work on poems, I end up memorizing them so that I can work on them anytime, anywhere, without the pages in front of me. So often I am just reciting.
GC: They're embedded.
NT: They are embedded.
GC: If history is something that we agree on, we'd make an agreement that this is what history is.
NT: We agree that things happened in the past.
GC: Exactly. And you are changing the agreement in your poetry. You're saying, wait a minute; this is not my history. I have another take on this. That's a big contribution.
NT: Well I think that often we are in contention about history. I mean, there are perhaps documentary evidence we can use to make sense of the facts. But there are always interpretations that people add to those facts; what a particular thing meant at a given moment. And so, I am looking a little bit slant at certain kinds of histories, because certain things have been left out occasionally. There are erasures that are based on both unintentional and willed forgetting.
GC: Yes. The voice of Natasha Trethewey. Let us have some more poetry. I think we are going to move into a long final poem, or two short final poems?
NT: Well, why don't we look at Rotation. This is one of the only truly formal poems in this book. There were many poems in traditional forms in my last book, and I was trying to break out of form a little bit in this book; to release myself; to have a different kind of freedom with the line. But this is a pantoum.
GC: Would you explain that please?
NT: A pantoum is a poem that has a series of repeating lines, that - the main thing is that in the first stanza, which is a four line stanza, lines two and four become lines one and three of the next stanza. And so on, and so on, until the poem ends. And when it ends, you come back to the original lines one and three, which hadn't been used yet; and they become two and four of the very last stanza.
GC: Got that? But I'll tell you, let me just simplify it; form is the way we hold our arch. And form is the way we hold the tumult inside us, right?
NT: That's right
GC: And let's hear how she does it.
NT: Rotation
Like the moon that night, my father—
a distant body, white and luminous.
How small I was back then,
looking up as if from dark earth.
Distant, his body white and luminous,
my father stood in the doorway.
Looking up as if from dark earth,
I saw him outlined in a scrim of light.
My father stood in the doorway
as if to watch over me as I dreamed.
When I saw him outlined—a scrim of light—
he was already waning, turning to go.
Once, he watched over me as I dreamed.
How small I was. Back then,
he was already turning to go, waning
like the moon that night: my father.
GC: There is such longing in your work; that one wants to go to the next page and get more of it. Do we have another page?
NT: I started looking at Mexican Casta paintings. These are paintings in colonial Mexico across the entire eighteenth century that represented the mixed blood unions that were taking place. And you know, when I first started looking at them, I was obviously fascinated by them, because they represented the mixed blood offspring of the different parents, and the taxonomies; the names created to name the different blood mixtures. And I didn't really know that I was looking in many ways at images of my own family. But of course that's, I'm certain, why I was compelled to look at them in the first place.
GC: They're very formal, aren't they?
NT: Yes, they're very beautiful constructions. They painted them, and often different painters created the exact same scenes, and so you would see different skill levels by the different painters. And so I use a very beautiful sequence of them by Juan Rodriguez Juarez, which are circa 1715. The poem is a four part poem, and the last part is called The Book of Castas. I'm going to read from that one.
GC: Can you read us the last part?
NT: Yes. I was just going to also say that, what the Book of Castas is; if you were born a mixed blood in colonial Mexico, your name and taxonomy would be recorded in the Book of Castas. So this is how they kept a record of the mixed blood people who were born.
GC: And what does taxonomy actually mean?
NT: It is just, when you think about even plants, the various names of blood mixtures. So for example, they believed that indigenous blood, indian blood, over a few generations of mixing with white blood, could be purified to whiteness; but that the taint of African blood was irreversible. So you had names like, "Mulato Turning Backwards," "Hold Yourself in Midair," and "I Don't Understand You." This is from Taxonomy. The Book of Castas.

Cleopatras Needle
Cleopatras Needle in London is one of the 3 ancient Egyptian obelisks. The other two are situated in Paris and New York respectively. In London, the Cleopatra's Needle is built in the City of Westminster.
Height and Dimensions
An obelisk can be explained as a tall monument having four sides with its top looking like a pyramid. The needle is about 21 meters high and weighs approximately 180 tons. The Cleopatra's Needle is believed to have been originally made during the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose III in Heliopolis.
However, it was re-erected during the 19th century and the re-erected three structures are now situated in London, Paris and New York. In London, the re-erected obelisk was erected on Victoria Embankment.
Cleopatras Needle Facts
The new structure is built using red granite. The obelisk has two sphinxes cast made from bronze and has hieroglyphic inscriptions. You can search the internet for Cleopatra's Needle translation of a full text.

Maritime in-service support capabilities demands a diverse and skilled workforce with a range of technical competencies capable of responding to complex maintenance and repair work. Ensuring this talent is available and prepared to support the supply chain maintaining these new naval platforms is the goal of a new agreement between Thales Canada and its partners in education and government announced at DEFSEC 2018.
To better identify and respond to workforce training requirements, and as part of its commitments on the AJISS program, Thales Canada has signed an agreement with Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC), in partnership with Camosun College in British Columbia, to complete a bi-coastal analysis of the in-service support supply chain. Thales is the prime contractor for Canada's AJISS program that will support the Royal Canadian Navy's Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships and Joint Support Ships built under the National Shipbuilding Strategy.
"Talent drives innovation, and our government is committed to supporting workers develop the skills needed to lead an innovative nation," said the Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development. "These investments will help our shipbuilding industry, create more jobs for Canadian workers, and continue to grow our economy."
The first step under this agreement is a work force study that will provide insight into the marine in-service supply chains and inform industry and the colleges' approach as they develop new and enhanced programming to assist with supplier competencies, respond to technology advancement and build an innovative, competitive and diverse workforce of the future.
"We are committed to supporting the digital transformation of in-service support capabilities as part of the AJISS program, relying upon the creation of a robust Canadian supply chain," said Mark Halinaty, President & CEO, Thales Canada. "Working together with post-secondary institutions to develop a diverse, skilled, productive and ready workforce is a key ingredient to ensuring that these vessels are mission-ready, where and when they are needed, from coast to coast to coast."
The two colleges have a long history in the development and delivery of marine programming and training.
NSCC President Don Bureaux says, "The College's mission is to help grow the province's economy and quality of life through education and innovation, one learner at a time. Working with industry and post-secondary partners in identifying needs helps guide our work in support of the immense growth within this vital sector – growth which will take us through a generation of work." He adds, "Charting a course to support the skills needs within that scope of work is important in preparing our students for emerging labour force opportunities. It's exciting in this case to have a coast-to-coast perspective and sharing of resources through this partnership."
"Camosun is committed to ensuring the long term sustainability of marine sector training on Canada's west coast," says Camosun College President Sherri Bell. "This partnership is a first step to developing a national strategy for the marine training sector and we are immensely proud to be working with ISED, Thales and NSCC on this important project."
DEFSEC Atlantic is the second largest Aerospace, Defence and Security industry conference in Canada. Focused on showcasing Atlantic Canadian opportunities, the show also incorporates elements of both a trade show and a defence procurement conference, attracting leading industry from across Canada.

Camosun, advanced manufacturing sector gear up for Innovate 2017
The one-day event on Oct. 24 will be a step toward improved collaboration within the industry. see more

Camosun College will be ground zero for the advanced manufacturing sector this month, as the industry comes together with its constituent stakeholders for Innovate 2017.
Designed to highlight the issues the industry faces and discuss possible solutions, the one-day event on Oct. 24 will be a step toward improved collaboration within the industry and with training and education partners.
"They want to gather and meet, organize and talk about the issues they have — and figure out how to solve them," said organizer John Juricic, owner of Harbour Digital Media. "Getting people to talk about them is key. This showcase, the one-day symposium, is the first attempt at gathering people to start to talk about these issues," said Juricic, who has been studying and consulting with the manufacturing sector on the Island for years.
At the top of the agenda is discussing how to better integrate innovation into the workforce and into company operations, and seeing what impact that could have on the labour force.
"We want a dynamic conversation about this, about growing the industry and increasing employment," Juricic said.
The showcase has booked four keynote speakers: Bill Collins of Quester Tangent, Dave Curtis of Viking Air, Tim Walzack from Camosun and Doug Pauze of Coastland Wood Industries. They will talk about the issues manufacturers face and how they're being dealt with.
There will be a panel discussion and back-and-forth to allow for an exchange of ideas on best practices and solutions.
Curtis, Viking's chief executive, said the forum to share ideas is essential for the industry, as each Island company faces a series of shared challenges. They include connectivity with the outside world, cost of living, labour shortages and transportation costs to get products on and off the Island.
"As a group, whether it's the [manufacturing associations or industry organizations], training, attracting and retaining a skilled workforce is top of mind," Curtis said, noting his company is always looking for ways to shorten the training cycle and to attract new people.
Curtis said that's what his keynote will focus on, as well as telling Viking's story and the impact various global factors have had on its production.
The company, which manufactures Twin Otter aircraft, is in the midst of growing pains.
It is both dealing with a production pause — it laid off more than 200 employees in the spring and is only now starting to hire people back — while it continues to explore the possibility of expanding its production to include the CL-415 water bomber, which until 2015 was manufactured by Bombardier.
The addition of the water bomber to Viking's production line could mean 900 new jobs. Curtis said they are working on the business plan and expect to approach Viking's board for a "green light" early in the new year.
Juricic said that alongside manufacturers, the showcase will attract economic development groups, human resources professionals, consultants and education institutions.
So far, 80 people have registered for the event. There are tickets available for 120.
The conference will be live-streamed for those unable to make it to Victoria. More information is available at: mfgcln.com/conference-agenda/.

The public and the media are invited to attend the 2017 Mechanical Engineering Project Showcase. This special one-day event takes place at Camosun's Interurban Campus on Friday, August 18 from10am to 2pm in the atrium of the Centre for Trades Education and Innovation (CTEI).
"This is the capstone event for our graduating students," says Ross Lyle, Chair of Camosun's Mechanical Engineering Technology program. "Essentially, they start with an idea, work together as a team to create a conceptual solution, then develop that concept into a virtual working prototype. By the end of term, they have produced a working prototype ready to demonstrate."
This year, students have been taking full advantage of Camosun's new 3D printing lab, as well as an updated manual and CNC machines to create parts for their projects.
"Our instructors and lab technologists work to coach and guide the student teams, especially when challenges arise. It's hard work, as students apply their skills to real world problems," says Lyle. "The capstone projects are the highlight and most rewarding part of the program for our students. They get a clearer sense of what they are capable of accomplishing as technologists".
This year's showcase features nine projects representing the contributions of 32 graduating students. Four of the projects were sponsored by industry, adding in an element of real-world applied research and learning.
Working in teams, the second year students have been designing, fabricating and testing the following projects:
A project from the 2016 showcase.
Wind tunnel sensor
To design and create a lift, drag and yaw sensor that will be fitted to the wind tunnel. This includes updating the wind tunnel itself.
This project involves automating a heating and quenching process. The project includes an input arrangement, an induction heating coil, a water bath/spray and an output storage point. (Industry Sponsored)
Sheet-metal former
This device will automate a sheet metal cutting and forming process from a continuous feed roll of metal. The length of the cut strips will be controlled and adjustable. The cut pieces will then enter an existing forming machine. (Industry Sponsored)
Cooling vest
To design and create a vest with a built in cooling circuit which can remove excess heat from a person's body. The design was inspired to keep mascots and actors in costumes cool for long periods of time. The vest may also be of value to athletes, hikers, military personnel, etc.
Vacuum former
To design and create a low-cost vacuum forming table, which can be used in the mechanical machine shop to form plastic shapes.
Kite air pump
A novel, compact design to manually inflate kites for kite sailing in remote areas. (Industry Sponsored)
a specialized rock-climbing wall (for campusing: hands only climbing). The wall will be 10 ft. tall, fully collapsible and includes electronic sensors. The angle of the board can be adjusted to increase or decrease the level of difficulty. (Industry Sponsored)
2-stroke engine
To design and create a small 2-stroke gasoline engine (similar in size to a gas lawn-mower engine).
To design and create an environmentally-friendly egg incubator. This water-resistant design uses laser-cut cardboard, wooden dowels and cotton insulation (all compostable). The incubator includes a reusable electronic control system.
"The showcase gives students an opportunity to showcase what they are able to do and for the public to see what they're capable of doing," says Lyle. "It brings everything together in a trade show environment. Each student has a booth and demonstrates the success of their product."
Photos and videos of last year's projects are available online.

Donation helps fuel Camosun high-tech interactive classes

Babcock Canada has donated $800,000 to launch a high-tech Interaction Lab at Camosun College's Interurban campus, part of a fundraising effort that has exceeded expectations amid growing recognition that more skilled trades workers need to be trained to meet demand.
The donation from Babcock is the largest individual contribution to Camosun College Foundation's TRADEmark of Excellence Campaign.
The college's fundraising effort has surged past the original $5-million goal, reaching $6.5 million.
Funding the Interaction Lab made perfect sense to Mark Dixon, Babcock Canada president.
"It is in our interest, as well as the local economy and the people, to try and promote more people getting into the trades," he said.
The Interaction Lab's new equipment includes 3D printers, high-end scanners and virtual-reality technology. It allows students from different disciplines to work together using top-tier technology.
Students will broaden their experiences, have the chance to be innovative, use their analytical skills and get comfortable using the latest technology, Dixon said. "I think it kind of brings them into the modern age."
Babcock Canada is a subsidiary of U.K.-based Babcock International, an engineering support-services organization serving customers around the globe.
In Victoria, Babcock has the in-service support contract for Canada's submarines.
Tim Walzak, director of Camosun's centre for applied research and innovation, said its current high-tech lab, called Camosun Innovates, is being expanded with the addition of the Babcock-funded equipment.
The new lab will be installed in renovated space in the Jack White building, serving Camosun's school of trades and technology students.
The Babcock-funded technology will "really help us enhance what we already have," Walzak said.
The installation will be completed by July.
"Once we move into the new space, it will give us great capacity to involve local companies in more and more projects," Walzak said.
Firms will have access to services and equipment that they would not have otherwise, he said.
The lab's open-door policy means all trades are welcome.
One example of trades in technology is development of the "CamoSun" solar-heating system and installation. Many plumbing and pipefitting students are doing extra work for certification in this field. When they graduate, "they are fully tuned in to the latest approaches," Walzak said.
The 3-D technology means a small item can be scanned with laser or white light. Information from the scan is fed into a computer where it can be adjusted. Students can then print a 3-D model with their changes to try out. Dixon said this technology is already being used by Babcock to create equipment.
Scanners can be used to gather information on a large area, such as a ship's hull, and once that information goes into a computer, students can design what goes into that area.
The TRADEmark campaign, which dovetailed with the new $30-million trades-training building at Camosun, raised money to buy equipment and renovate buildings.
Donations came from individuals and companies, some owned by second- and third-generation families. Family gifts alone account for more than $1 million. Unions donated a total of $250,000.
The campaign's goal is to create a "trades powerhouse" at Camosun, said Murray Farmer, who chaired the initiative with wife Lynda.
"From my point of view, you spend so much of your life working, you better be doing something that you really like. And if you can have a passion for what you are doing, you are going to do a better job, you are going to be more productive and you are going to just have a more fulfilled life."

Camosun bestows Alumni Award on free-wheeling Clayton Stark

Clayton Stark will do something today that he's not entirely comfortable with — accept plaudits and an honour from a school that gave him a chance to take on the world on his own terms.
Stark, 46, senior vice-president at game studio Kixeye Canada, will be presented with an award from his alma mater, Camosun College, as its 2016 Distinguished Alumni during graduation ceremonies.
The outspoken technology leade admits he's a bit taken aback and humbled by the award.
"My honest reaction was a big smile ... any kind of recognition is heartwarming, and this is an honour," said Stark, sitting in his office at Bastion Square.
At Kixeye, Stark is responsible for technical strategy and execution for the company's online video game platform, which reaches tens of millions of users around the world.
It's a long way from his days learning mechanical engineering at Camosun between games of hacky sack and other recreational activities. Stark said he's never forgotten the school and the pivotal role it played in setting him on his career path.
"I think it proved to me that I could go from point A to point B, where there was quite a gap between the two, and make a transformative change in a relatively short period of time," Stark says. "It was the first great example that allowed me to think I could pretty much do whatever I set my mind to."
Stark, who had no high school education, saw Camosun as the only means to getting a post-secondary education through its bridging program, an intensive six-month program that he said basically compressed all of high school into six months.
After that he took and graduated from its three-year mechanical engineering program.
The college helped him to establish confidence, which when married with knowledge allowed him to excel, he said.
"Camosun gave me some wonderful opportunities ... I had good exposure to a lot of things. I took the investment [in school] as the minimal viable investment to start a career."
That led to work in oceanography, construction, energy management and software design and then into building top-flight technology and putting together strong tech teams.
He helped to create a company called Flock, which was acquired in 2011 by San Francisco company Zynga, in a deal designed to lure strong tech talent to Silicon Valley.
But Stark soon returned home to establish Zynga's Victoria office, and in 2012 he joined game studio Kixeye and established that company's first Canadian space in Bastion Square.
He laughs when he considers how often over the years he, as the Camosun grad, has been around boardroom tables and held court with MIT, Harvard and Yale graduates. "I've always enjoyed the dynamic. It isn't really about requiring a particular pedigree, it's what you do with it."
When he talks with Camosun students, he said he tells them not to impose limits on themselves based on their level of education.
"The limits you set yourself are going to be your biggest problem, it isn't what school you go to."

Q: helm single template for multiple similar deployments Apologies if this is a really simple question
I have a 2 applications that can  potentially share the same template
applications:
  #
  app1:
    containerName: app1
    replicaCount: 10
    logLevel: warn
    queue: queue1
  #
  app2:
    containerName: app2
    replicaCount: 20
    logLevel: info
    queue: queue2
  ...

If I create a single template for both apps, is there a wildcard or variable i can use
that will iterate over both of the apps (i.e. app1 or app2) ? ...e.g. the bit where ive put <SOMETHING_HERE> below ...
spec:
    env:
    - name: LOG_LEVEL
      value: "{{ .Values.applications.<SOMETHING_HERE>.logLevel }}"

Currently (which im sure is not very efficient) I have two seperate templates that each define their own app .e.g
app1_template.yaml
{{ .Values.applications.app1.logLevel }}

app2_template.yaml
{{ .Values.applications.app2.logLevel }}

Which im pretty sure is not the way Im supposed to do it?
any help on this would be greatly appreciated

A: One of the solutions would be to have one template and multiple value files, one per deployment/environment
spec:
    env:
    - name: LOG_LEVEL
      value: "{{ .Values.logLevel }}"

values-app1.yaml:
containerName: app1
replicaCount: 10
logLevel: warn
queue: queue1

values-app2.yaml:
containerName: app2
replicaCount: 20
logLevel: info
queue: queue2

then, specify which values file should be used, by adding this to helm command:
APP=app1 # or app2

helm upgrade --install . --values ./values-${APP}.yaml

you can also have shared values, let say in regular values.yaml and provide multiple files:
APP=app1

helm upgrade --install . --values ./values.yaml --values ./values-${APP}.yaml

A: You can just use a single values file as you've done, and then set the app name when you run helm..
helm upgrade --install app1 ./charts --set app=app1

and
helm upgrade --install app2 ./charts --set app=app2

Then in your templates use:
spec:
    env:
    - name: LOG_LEVEL
      value: "{{ .Values.applications (.Values.app) "loglevel" }}"

What is Formula SAE®?
Formula SAE® is a student design competition organized by SAE International (formerly Society of Automotive Engineers). The first competition was started back in 1979 after Mark Marshek, then at University of Houston (Texas) contacted the SAE Educational Relations Department in 1978 to discuss adding a variant event of the Mini Baja; the name Mini Indy was founded. As many organizers have found, the work in building a car can be exceeded only by that to organize the event; 1980 failed to produce an organizer. Having seen the potential of the event, Mike Best, Robert Edwards and John Tellkamp, students at the University of Texas at Austin, approached Dr. Ron Matthews with an idea - how about another Mini-Indy, but with some changes? Make the rules more open; let it be as unlimited as possible. It was desired that this new competition would take the cars to the next level of engineering. The Baja competition was great for chassis design, but many students wanted to work on engines as well. The new rules would keep engine restrictions to a bare minimum. Any four-stroke engine was allowed for the first four years with power limited by a 25.4 mm intake restriction.
With grass roots support from his students, Dr. Ron Matthews contacted the SAE Educational Relations Department and set the wheels in motion. To differentiate this new event from the Mini-Indy, a new name was sought. To reflect better the road-racing nature of the event and its increased engineering content, the Formula SAE name was adopted.
The concept behind Formula SAE is that a fictional manufacturing company has contracted a design team to develop a small Formula-style race car. The prototype race car is to be evaluated for its potential as a production item. The target marketing group for the race car is the non-professional weekend autocross racer. Each student team designs, builds and tests a prototype based on a series of rules whose purpose is both to ensure onsite event operations and promote clever problem solving.
Formula SAE promotes careers and excellence in engineering as it encompasses all aspects of the automotive industry including research, design, manufacturing, testing, developing, marketing, management and finances. Formula SAE takes students out of the classroom and allows them to apply textbook theories to real work experiences.
Today, the competition has expanded and includes a number of spin off events. In the United States there are two locations: California and Michigan; Michigan being the largest event and longest running.

Mildly exciting public transport news
New park and ride scheme from Sale, better bus travel, and Oldham and Rochdale swap trains for trams
Published on October 7th 2009.
You wait ages for some public transport news, then three items arrive all at once. A new park and ride scheme has opened in Sale, GMPTE has launched a consultation about improvements to three major bus routes, and the heavy rail Oldham Loop Line closed on 3 October ready for conversion into a Metrolink route.
The only real way to make public transport seamless and convenient is to introduce an affordable, easy-to-understand, flexible ticket that covers all the transport providers in the city.
First off, the new park and ride scheme for South Manchester. This opened on Monday 28 September and promises to offer people a 'superior parking destination' at the Q-Park Waterside car park opposite the Sale Metrolink stop. Tickets cost £6 and include all-day parking and a return Metrolink journey to the city centre.
The car park, which is easy to get to from the M60, is expected to be popular with commuters who want to avoid city centre car park charges, and football fans who can take the tram to Old Trafford.
Any measures that reduce car use in the city centre are to be welcomed and the £6 price tag seems reasonable. Our concern is whether the trams will have room to accommodate the new influx of passengers from the 440 car park spaces. Confidential hasn't had the joy of travelling on the Altrincham line recently – let us know whether overcrowding during peak periods is a problem.
Next up, the buses. GMPTE want your comments on their improvement package for three major routes: Boothstown to Manchester via the A580 East Lancashire Road and A6 Broad Street/Crescent/Chapel Street; Middleton Bus Station to Manchester via the A664 Manchester New Road and Rochdale Road; and East Didsbury to Manchester via Wilmslow Road and Oxford Road/Street.
A key aim of the proposals is to provide seamless bus links across the city centre so that people will not have to change services or pay more than one fare. Although these ad-hoc improvements are much needed, Confidential maintains that the only real way to make public transport seamless and convenient is to introduce an affordable, easy-to-understand, flexible ticket that covers all the transport providers in the city. We'll be requesting a progress update on this in the next few weeks.
The proposals also aim to cut journey times and improve reliability – two bus service bugbears that everyone would like to see addressed.
Councillor Richard Knowles, Chair of GMITA's Capital Projects Committee, said: "The scheme includes bus lanes, bus gating and junction improvements, as well as pedestrian and cycle measures. It will also involve making some sections of city centre highway bus only, alongside complementary measures to ensure that traffic flows smoothly."
To see the proposals and get involved in the consultations go to www.gmpte.com/haveyoursay or call 0800 917 8808 (Monday-Friday, 9am to 5pm).
Finally, the train-to-tram conversion in Oldham and Rochdale. The 12 mile Oldham Loop Line, which had been serving passengers for over 140 years, has closed ahead of conversion to a new Metrolink line that will run into Manchester city centre. The 15-stop line will run as far as Central Park by 2011, then to Oldham Mumps by autumn 2011, and finally to Rochdale by spring 2012. Services will run every six minutes from Shaw and Crompton and every 12 minutes from Rochdale.
As part of the conversion, the Smedley Viaduct will be reborn, and several other historic structures will be restored.
In the meantime, passengers have access to a range of alternative bus services. Greater Manchester Integrated Transport Authority promises to monitor the situation to ensure that the standard of service is acceptable.
5 comments so far, continue the conversation, write a comment.
scoteeeOctober 7th 2009.
6 quid seems horrendously expensive to me. I have just moved to Sale, I work in the city centre my partner in Salford,It's £3.50 all day to park 5 minutes walk from picc.It would cost us both far too much on a daily basis.I'll keep driving in to salfoird then on to the city carpark i'm afraid. Unless of course the scheme can offer a reasonable monthly ticket?or is that just wishful thinking?
Nigel BarlowOctober 7th 2009.
I very much doubt whether Northern Rail are involved in any coordination in Greater Manchester over the closure of the Oldham Loop line.It really sums up their attitude to an integrated transport policy that they fail to put extra carriages on trains.I for one am glad that we no longer have to put up with their shoddy services and shoddy trains on the victoria to Oldham line and wish Metrolink could take over all their services
Tram Rip OffOctober 7th 2009.
I remember the Bury to Manchester train. It cost pennies to go from Crumpsall to Manchester Victoria. Then they closed it down for a few years and we got to trams and a tripled fare to boot. I wish that we didn't have the tram on our line, as it's just been a rouse to rip us off. The train was slightly worse, but a LOT cheaper. Weighing it all up, the train option was the better deal.

I fail to understand how it's going to take two years to convert an existing rail line to a Metrolink line. Even when it's finished, the journey time is going to increase by around 20 minutes anyway.

I get the train to Mcr on the part of the Oldham Loop line not closed. We've got more people getting on at my stop but no extra carriages on the trains. In fact, carriages have been taken off the trains! So we have more passengers with less carriages - makes sense, doesn't it!


Carey Price, coming off an embarrassing 6-5 OT loss to Buffalo, will serve as the backup while Antti Niemi makes his fifth start.
The matchup: The Canadiens may have lost to the Sabres on Thursday, but the one point they earned for taking the game to overtime was enough to move them into third place in the Atlantic Division with 19 points from an 8-5-3 record. The loss to Buffalo marked the first time this season the Canadiens have lost consecutive games. After making a surprise appearance in the Stanley Cup final in their inaugural season, the Golden Knights are off to a so-so start. They are 7-8-1 after winning in Ottawa on Thursday and are only two points out of a playoff spot.
Price will ride the pine: Carey Price, who is coming off an embarrassing 6-5 overtime loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday, will serve as the backup while Antti Niemi makes his fifth start of the season. Coach Claude Julien consulted with goaltending coach Stéphane Waite and decided it might be a good idea for Price to watch as he struggles to find his game. Price has a 5-4-3 record but, of more concern, he has given up at least four goals in each of his past four starts and his goals-against average has ballooned to 3.07.
Pacioretty returns: This has been one of most anticipated games of the season since the Canadiens traded captain and perennial 30-goal scorer Max Pacioretty to the Golden Knights in return for Tomas Tatar, prospect Nick Suzuki and a second-round draft choice. While Tatar has proven to be a valuable addition — he has six goals, including three in the last two games — Pacioretty has struggled. He missed four games with an upper-body injury and has only two goals in 12 games. Fans usually jeer former Canadiens on their return, but Pacioretty deserves a few cheers for past accomplishments.
Max drives the engine: Max Domi continues to spark the Canadiens' offence. He's not only tied with Brendan Gallagher for the team lead in goals (nine), but he is making the other players on the ice more productive. Against the Sabres, he put on his playmaking helmet and he collected three assists with two of those helpers coming on highlight-reel passes to set up Jonathan Drouin and Tatar as they drove the net. Domi is the team's leading scorer (19 points) and he has picked up at least one point in 13 of the Canadiens' 16 games.
The other guys: Jonathan Marchessault leads the Golden Knights in goals (seven) and points (14). The only other Vegas player with double-digit points is William Karlsson with 11 points, including three goals. A lack of offence has been the major problem for the Golden Knights. Vegas ranks 29th in offence with an average of 2.38 goals a game and their power play, which ranks No. 24 in the NHL, has been scoring at a 15.1-per-cent rate. Look for Marc-André Fleury to start in goal. The veteran has a 7-6-1 record with a 2.51 GAA. Fleury has a lifetime record of 22-12-3 against Montreal.


After traveling more than a thousand miles for high school football playoff games over the past four weeks, Edgewater's impressive turnaround ended a game short of its intended destination.
The Eagles (12-2) lost 56-21 at Lakeland (14-0) on Friday in a Class 7A state semifinal. Edgewater was within 21-14 at halftime before the Dreadnaughts reeled off 28 points in the third quarter to secure a spot in the FHSAA state championships this week at Camping World Stadium.
It was a bittersweet ending for a group of upperclassmen that experienced a 0-10 season in 2016, won a district championship in 2017 and secured Edgewater's first region title since 2009 this fall.
Edgewater's exciting run through the postseason ended abruptly Friday in the Class 7A state semifinal round.
"We'll learn from it and bounce back," said Edgewater coach Cameron Duke. "My message to these guys was that the love that we have within this program doesn't end with a loss and that we've got to keep our head held high for everything that's been accomplished.
"The foundation has been set the past two years and hopefully [deep playoff runs] is something we do consistently," he said.
Duke implemented a "Restore The Pride" motto upon taking over the program two years ago. And there was plenty of Edgewater pride on display along a packed visiting grandstand Friday at Lakeland, just as there was when the team made postseason trips to Gainesville, Tallahassee and Jacksonville.
The turnout by fans this year has been a noticeable change since that winless season, as senior Nate White pointed out following a practice earlier in the week.
The seeds of exceeding expectations appear to be planted for the future and will likely be used to fuel returning players into next season.
State championship games begin Thursday in Orlando with Baker (13-0) playing Madison County (12-1) in Class 1A at 1 p.m. and Cocoa (10-3) taking on Jacksonville Raines (12-1) in 4A at 7 p.m.
Friday games include Tallahassee North Florida Christian (8-4) vs. Hialeah Champagnat (9-5) in 2A at 10 a.m. and Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons (12-2) against North Marion (12-2) in 5A at 3 p.m. Lakeland plays Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas (13-1) to round out the day at 8 p.m.
The final games of the 2018 season take place Saturday, beginning with West Palm Beach King's Academy (12-1) against Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna (11-2) in 3A at 10 a.m. Miami Northwestern (9-5) plays Crestview (10-2) in 6A at 3 p.m. and Jacksonville Mandarin (10-4) faces Miami Columbus (14-0) in 8A at 8 p.m.
Edgewater quarterback R.J. Harvey turns upfield Friday in a 56-21 state semifinal loss at Lakeland.

Go straight to the digital companion project to 1871: These Cuts Cut Too Many To Name (requires flash), or read on for the full story of the poem.
"We've got a song for you", they said, as I walked into the studio on Curtain Road, and after the obligatory buzz of pedals being powered and the occasional hit of a snare, they played it: the form was fast and fragmented with gaps left for poetry.
'As the law peals from the far edge of a glove darkly at night how everything turns/ In and to the white snow/ Turns'
Here's the back story: Rumour Cubes, a band I've been working with since 2010, had been booked to play a gig on 18 March 2011 at an Arts Uncut event at the Bull and Gate (Kentish town).
That date, eighteenth of March, sound familiar? It did to me. The gig coincided with the 140th anniversary of the Paris Commune. The show, not the Commune, featured comedians like Josie Long and speakers like Steve Hart, Regional Secretary of Unite the Union. It wanted to open up the anti-cuts movement to a wider audience and Rumour Cubes were going to help.

Back in the studio thoughts were beginning to form, and back at home thoughts turned to sentences. I made a list all the different cuts that the coalition Government had made or intended to make. I was soon overwhelmed. There were too many cuts to name. The list ended up as an unfinished testimony to an unfinished violence.
The cuts were targeting women, the elderly, the poor and the young, all but the richest in society. They still do. I've since come to see this as an attack on language, and on memory too. Over several rehearsals this content was cut, forced and relocated until it met the demands of the song and the historical moment. More than just a list of cuts, '1871' was a poem striving to be useful, ready to be spat in the appropriate direction.
Alongside this, Adam Stark (the creative-technologist, guitar player and programmer in the band) and Hannah Morgan (Violin) worked on a micro-site to take the energy of the poem online. We created this digital project: These Cuts Cut Too Many To Name (requires flash).
This isn't the only project I've worked on with Rumour Cubes or with Adam Stark (see Code_Words), but it certainly was one of my favourites. You can listen to '1871' (recorded at Cafe Music Studios) or check out this live performance at Cafe 1001, London (2011).
One of the coolest things that happened to '1871' came after it was published (under its original name 'Le 3e Arrondissement') by Critical Documents in the 'International Egg and Poultry Review' (Cambridge: 2011). Manchester based poet Stuart Calton, also known as T.H.F Drenching, found the poem in the magazine and recorded his own version of it. It's pretty different from mine and I like it.

[CES 2008] LG Emotion 3D Mobile Broadcasting | OhGizmo!
By Evan Ackerman on 01/08/08 • Leave a comment!
When LG talks about 3D in relation to cell phones, they're not talking about a third visual dimension (like, depth). Instead, they've gotten the phone to sync its vibrate feature and LED lights along with audio and video streams. It sounds gimmicky (and yes, it sort of is), but it's also surprisingly effective: if you're watching football and someone gets tackled, the phone vibrates sharply. Or if you're watching NASCAR, the phone vibrates in sync with the passing cars. It makes the experience of watching content on that tiny screen much more interactive, and it works for movies, too. For the record: I don't watch football or NASCAR.


Being able to easily manage your domain names is pretty important and can enhance your user experience as a web hosting client. The platforms that lots of companies use are not very easy to use, so you can often find yourself in a scenario where you have to sign in and out of different user interfaces to do a given task, even if you've got one single domain. Not only is this awkward, but it also requires more time and effort in comparison to having an all-embracing system where you can access everything you require without logging in and out all the time. For example, registering a new domain, hosting it and uploading the web files associated with it involves the use of no less than 2 different admin consoles, all the more so in case you're using the most famous hosting platforms on the market.
With a shared website hosting plan from our company, you will have full authority over your domains and over everything connected with them. Integrated into our all-in-one Hepsia hosting Control Panel, our advanced Domain Manager will allow you to accomplish lots of things from one place without needing to sign in and out of separate platforms. For example, you will be able to register a new domain name or to renew an existing one, to update the WHOIS information or to hide it altogether with our Whois Privacy Protection service, to host or to park a domain with several clicks. The features listed so far are standard for any such tool, but using our Domain Manager's fast-access buttons, you'll be able also to update the DNS records for any of your domain names, to set up an FTP account, a database or an email address, to view visitor statistics and much more. The tool is powerful, albeit simple to work with, so even if you have never had a hosting account before, you won't have any problems while administering your domains and the web hosting space for them.
You'll be able to manage your domain names without any difficulty if you get a semi-dedicated plan from our company. The Domain Manager tool, which is integrated into our custom Hepsia Control Panel, offers a lot of options that will permit you to do everything you'd like with only a few clicks. Aside from the usual options that you'd expect from such a tool, such as registering and renewing a domain, modifying the WHOIS details or adding Whois Privacy Protection, you will also have access to more advanced options via quick-access buttons. In this way, you can easily set up an email address, access your website files, keep track of traffic statistics or order a Secure Sockets Layer certificate for any of your domains. All these options are available in one single place and in spite of the fact that the Domain Manager is an advanced tool, it's intuitive enough to be used by individuals with little-to-no practical experience.

Lil Peep's Brother Says His Death Was An 'Accident'
By Dianne Gebauer/Nov. 20, 2017 1:17 pm EST
The late rapper's older brother is opening up about his tragic passing.
During an interview with People, published on Monday, Nov. 20, 2017, Karl Åhr, who goes by Oskar, explained that Lil Peep's suspected Xanax overdose was an "accident."
"It really was an accident. He was super happy with where he was in life," Oskar, 23, said. "We [the family] have heard there was some sort of substance he did not expect to be involved in the substance he was taking. He thought he could take what he did, but he had been given something and he didn't realize what it was."
As Nicki Swift previously reported, Lil Peep (real name Gustav Åhr) passed away at 21 years old on the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 15, after being rushed to a hospital in Tucson, Ariz. According to a police report obtained by TMZ, Peep's manager saw the rapper on his tour bus earlier that day and claimed that he seemed fine before taking a nap around 5:45 p.m. She later checked on him and found him "snoring and breathing without issue," before deciding to let him sleep longer. However, his other manager later found Peep "completely unresponsive" and began CPR. Once cops arrived on the scene, "they discovered several Xanax pills, loose marijuana and an unknown tan powder."
During his interview, Oskar maintained that his brother's drug use and depression were merely part of "his image," rather than who he was, and took aim at the music industry. "I can guarantee [drugs are] not something that would've been a part of his life if he was not a part of that specific culture," he said. "Not only was he a part of it, he'll be remembered for making waves in it."
"He was not as sad as people think he was," Oskar said of the "Awful Things" rapper. "It's frustrating as someone who remembers a happy brother," he continued, adding, "I hope there is some focus on drugs like Xanax and pills, in general, and the potential for them being laced, but I hope it isn't too much associated with how people remember him."
Our thoughts are with Peep's loved ones during this difficult time.

18 members of transgender community clear higher secondary course
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM [Maha Media]: Eighteen members of the transgender community in Kerala have cleared their higher secondary equivalency course examination conducted by the Kerala State Literacy Mission Authority (KSLMA) with flying colours, enabling them to pursue further education. This is the first batch which has cleared the higher secondary (12th standard) equivalency examination.
Kerala, the first state to implement a transgender policy, had introduced 'Samanwaya', a continuing educaion programme drawn out by the KSLMA and the Social Justice Department in 2018, for mainstreaming the transgender community. A total of 22 people attended the examination and 18 have cleared it from various districts, including Pathnamthitta, Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam, a KSLMA press release said.
Karthick, an autorickshaw driver, who cleared the examination, has got admission in the Kerala Univeristy's BA History group, KSLMA sources said. Until now, a total of 39 people from the transgender community have passed the Class 10 equivalency course and currently 30 are pursuing it. "There are 62 transgender people in the higher secondary equivalency course," the release said. A major problem faced by the transgender community is the high rate of school and college dropouts due to social discrimination, financial constraints and lack of family support. As part of the 'Samanwaya' scheme, KSLMA had conducted a survey and identified 918 transgenders who were willing to register under this programme.

Student flats to be built over Belfast railway line in £18m plan
Belfast's Botanic Avenue railway bridge will have a new view soon
By Margaret Canning Twitter Email
More student accommodation is on the way for Belfast after details emerged of plans for 270 rooms in an £18m investment in the south of the city.
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/business/northern-ireland/student-flats-to-be-built-over-belfast-railway-line-in-18m-plan-37032685.html
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/incoming/article37034164.ece/b005e/AUTOCROP/h342/railway.jpg
The 252 bedrooms and 21 studio flats have been planned for Botanic Link - land created over the railway line between University Road and Botanic Avenue.
The railway line was covered in a culvert about 20 years ago to prepare it for development.
However, previous bids to build apartments on the site did not progress.
Now a fresh planning application will be submitted.
And Botanic Link Ltd will hold a pre-application public information event next Thursday at the Crescent Arts Centre on University Road to give details of its plans.
The development will also include a shop that will open onto Botanic Avenue.
Anthony Best, managing director of Lacuna Developments, is behind the latest venture, along with Andrew Creighton, a director at William Ewart Properties, owners of the site.
Lacuna has already been involved in a number of student housing developments in the city in joint ventures with property developer Watkin Jones, including John Bell House, at the old BIFHE building on College Square East.
Mr Best said: "We are delighted to be developing plans for what will be an £18m investment in high quality managed student accommodation in the heart of the Queen's Quarter.
Anthony Best, managing director of Lacuna Developments
"The proposals build on our experience and understanding of the local market based on the successful delivery of purpose-built student accommodation at John Bell House, Botanic Studios, and the scheme on Queen Street which will be completed soon. The Botanic Link scheme will address a current under-supply of purpose-built accommodation in the south of the city, where only one other scheme has been developed."
He said it would ease the pressure on residential areas popular with students such as the Holyland.
And he said research indicated there was a need for modern student homes in south Belfast.
"Recent evidence shows that Belfast has the smallest supply of purpose-built student accommodation compared to other cities of similar sizes and student populations, and that demand for high quality accommodation remains in the city.
"Our sensitively designed proposals respond to local student preferences by focusing on cluster rooms which are significantly under-provided for in this part of Belfast, and provide an alternative to houses of multiple occupation accommodation in the Holyland area.
