Imagining what the future will look like is never easy. Does anything go out of date faster than someone's idea of what décor, fashion and hairstyles will look like ten, one hundred, or a thousand years from now? But there was one artist who got it perfectly right: Stanley Kubrick.
Inspired by Jessica Helfand's recent post here on the peculiar graphics of the Apollo space program, and intrigued by an article on Kubrick's archives in the Guardian, I went back and watched 2001: A Space Odyssey. From the moment the prehistoric bone-as-weapon turns into the floating spacecraft (the best jump cut in the history of cinema), you know immediately you're in the hands of a master. And 35 years later (plus three years past due), it all looks better than ever.
As a graphic designer, I was interested to learn from the Guardian article that Kubrick was obsessed with typography, with a special affection for Futura Extra Bold. This font is so strongly associated with 2001 that I was surprised to realize that it appears only in the promotional material for the movie; the main titles are a kind of cross between Trajan and Optima, and I regret to say this is as horrible as it sounds.
In space, however, all is forgiven. In film after film, Kubrick proved himself to be a poet of the horrors and pleasures of boredom, and I mean that in a good way. The little boy going round and round on the Big Wheels in The Shining, the exquisitely slow zooms in the vast landscapes of Barry Lyndon: these are some of the most memorable images ever put on film.
In 2001, the everyday banality of space travel gets its own special treatment that will ring true with any Wallpaper-toting frequent flyer. Buck Rogers histrionics are rejected in favor of the simple pleasures of the low-cost flight to Fort Meyers; my eleven-year-old daughter, seeing the seat back video screens on the film's space shuttle, exclaimed, "Just like Jet Blue!" Graphic design provides the grace notes. 2001's vast space station is fully colonized by corporate brands, some still with us (Hilton), some still with us but a little more unlikely (the glamorous-sounding Earthlight Room is operated by Howard Johnson's) and some, alas, gone forever (Bell Telephone, Pan Am). Each logo is deployed with understated precision, contributing to the sense of place no less than the red Olivier Mourgue "Djinn" chairs and the Saarinen occasional tables.
Kubrick knew well the power of brand name as mot juste. My favorite line in Dr. Strangelove is delivered by Keenan Wynn as he grudgingly permits Peter Sellars to shoot off the lock of a soda dispenser to get enough spare change to make a phone call to the president to call off World War III. "If you don't get the President of the United States on that line, you know what's going to happen to you?" he growls as if he's delivering the biggest threat of all. "You're going to have to answer to the Coca-Cola Company." There, in one sentence, you have the DNA from which was to spring both Davos and Adbusters.
Kubrick's sense of humor in 2001 is more subdued, but no less evident. In The Making of Kubrick's 2001, a great out-of-date paperback edited by Jerome Agel (of The Medium is the Message fame), the space shuttle's daunting instructions for its Zero Gravity Toilet are identified as the film's "only intentional joke," and in Eurostile to boot. In an age where few of us can access the advanced features of our cell phones, it still gets laughs. Kubrick understood so well that the everyday hallmark of the 21st century would not be the wonder of technology, but our day-in, day-out struggle to master it.
interesting thought on graphic design ... I have always been a big fan of kubrick. it seems that todays design is going backwards towards more simplictic styles especially on the web.
Michael's correct. Kubrick was a visionary and more, but he did get some things wrong. In that early scene in the shuttle waiting room as the official is phoning home on the video phone, he did not predict the redesigned Bell Telephone/AT&T logo, which was redesigned a few years later. Everything else is just as it will be, no doubt.
If we are nominating films for prescience, how about Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner?" No, not all those killer robots (though who knows, maybe they're today's design directors), but those toweringly huge L.E.D. television billboards, years before they were fixtures in Times Square and the Ginza. Today, they are all over the place, including selected subway and highway stops as well.
In a recent documentary on the lost Columbia mission there was footage of Ilan Ramon talking with his kids on the videophone from the shuttle.
By the way, the video phone call between scientist Heywood Floyd and his daughter, which lasts for several minutes (and includes the following priceless dialogue: "Are you coming to my party tomorrow?" "I'm sorry, sweetheart, but I can't." "Why not?" "Well, you know...Daddy's traveling.") costs a whopping $1.70. The charge is posted at the conclusion of the call (in Eurostile). The little girl is played by Kubrick's real life daughter Vivian.
In a design context, I think of the menace that Kubrick puts into mundane text: the notes handed to the Tom Cruise character in Eyes Wide Shut, and the pages of typewritten variations on "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" that Shelley Duvall frantically sorts through in The Shining.
"November 10. Accompanied Stan and the design staff into the Earth-orbit ship and happened to remark that the cockpit looked like a Chinese restaurant. Stan said that killed it instantly for him and called for revisions. Must keep away from the Art Department for a few days."
This "what is the future gonna look like" is fascinating and continues to capture the imagination. Albert Robida's (1848 - 1926) "Twentieth Century" was recently republished, its filled with wonderful Victorian speculations of the next century. But I think the most memorable of these speculations was the artist/conception animations on the Wonderful World of Disney on the "Tomorrowland" episodes, hosted by that doyen of the V1 and V2 rockets, Werner von Braun. I haven't read enough about the making of 2001 (which, by the way, is only boring in the last 15 minutes) to say definitively that he borrowed his space vehicles from Disney, but I do remember some great space ship ballets on this show. It was also here that we saw video phones for the first time (prior to the 63-4 NY World's Fair), and global positioning devices. I recall the interior of what would probably be considered a concept car today complete with a navigational system that automatically guided the car; the kids were in the back seat watching TV. Oh how I longed for that future. While the Twilight Zone promised nuclear war, Disney promised SUV's with entertainment systems. I loved the Twilght Zone but its FX-props were never as good.
I've throughly enjoyed all the articles about "Kubrick and typography" that have popped up recently. They give me a guilty sense of satifaction. Last May when I turned in my "artist statement" for my senior show I was told to remove Stanley Kubrick's name as one of my influences because he had nothing to do with Graphic Design and made me sound "pretentious".
The visual I find even more striking than the jump cut is the composition of those scenes as static images. Place some type on the same axis as the bone or ship, and you've got a Herbert Matter poster (or Scher, if you prefer ;-). The influence of, or Kubrick love of, graphic design is so clear in 2001.
back to the subject... How much of the credit belongs to Arthur C. Clarke for the precog work? I am not as familiar with the details of the novel.
It's a shame that we can't mention 2010 for these same kind of design details, Hollywood stripped that movie of any subtlety. Perhaps 3001: The Final Odyssey, even without Kubrick, will re-reveal design as hero.
"Generated by algorithmically abstracting these films in time. Frames are sampled and organized in outwardly flowing concentric rings"
To go even further off topic, the first Alien movie is also a rare glimpse of a future of some reasonable sexual egalitarianism. I seem to remember that the part was originally written for a man then changed at the last moment. That may be why she managed to be neither a stereotypical female failing to do a "man's job" or some sort of drag queen on steroids who out machos the boys.
I would agree that films like Kubrick's 2001 and Scott's Alien set the bar quite high for films about the future. It seems that simplicity and practicality go a long way with film, print, and web design. As far as great literature on this subject, I would recommend to anyone Ray Kurzweil's The Age of Spiritual Machines. Kurzweil uses a lot of common sense and logic to propose a very believable future. A lot of what he writes could be applied to design today.
Few masters of vision and design could pull off the mastery of Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange. I would have to say that it is a very good example of futuristic insight. Everything, from the design of the costumes to the design of the Moloko Bar, suggests another world. The language is complex, the characters are unpredictable, and the insanity (which he does so well) is rampant. The thought of a treatment that can "program" a criminal into good behavior is something I consider more frightening than the thought of A.I.
Visions of the future have been a subject of a number of movies. Kubick was definitely ahead of his time in capturing the future in 2001: A Space Odyssey. One movie I used to watch a lot growing up was the second Back to the Future. It was interesting to see Robert Zemeckis's interpretation of the year 2015 featuring flying cars, talking appliances and virtual reality. I thought the special effects were well designed for the time that is was made (1989) and it seemed visually believable. But I feel that many movies today that use special effects don't go for as much depth anymore and more for how it looks. Designers before the digital age such as Kubrick were forced to use their artistic abilities and skills with amazing results.
I find your post very interesting. I have always liked Kubrick but I never knew he was keen on typography... Anyway I think he has a special gift of feeling the beauty of this world and expressing it in his movies.
Great post.... Kubrick may have been a bit off in terms of date in his film, obviously, but much has been accomplished in accordance to the plot.... and his and Spielberg's baby A.I. demonstrates the same... where the developments of gadgets and machinery become the main players in our world (a la HAL). We've got our lives stored on computers and the 'net, we've got astronauts who aren't "gee whiz!" heroes with guns that shoot lasers that you can for some reason see in space but are methodical, well-trained professionals, we've got omnipresent computers, i.e. cell phones, laptops, notebooks, digital equivalents of little black books that contain so much of our identities... although HAL was omnipresent in his myriad functions and his enormousness (the only thing Kubrick and his scientists didn't account for for the future was miniturization), we've made up for it in portability, having hundreds of tiny computers performing different tasks. It's literally the rise of the machines.
In terms of product placement, maybe he just had a certain clairvoyance about how films would be by the time 2001 rolled around... chock-full of strategic but blatant sponsorship and placement that intend on making you want to flee the theatre to buy a new Mac, drink a case of Coke, talk on your Nokia cell phone, etc... someday, it will indeed be "This interplanetary flight is brought to you by...."
There is a touch of irony, as well, that one of the finest movies about a future that is controlled by computers has little or no computer aid in its creation.... no CGI's in 1968. Hard to imagine a time when creativity was all imagination and hands on execution, with no digital aid.
The best scene in 2001 is the one where David Bowman is forced to enter the Discovery through the emergency airlock with no helmet. The camera is located in the airlock, looking at Dave's space pod. There is utter silence for almost 30 seconds, and everything is still. Then WHOOOOOSSHHHH, Dave opens the hatch on his pod and gets blasted into the vacuum.
You are all missing the greatest part about the bone-to-space-station transition. At the end, the Space Baby, David Bowman, is floating above earth in the same position as the space station. So it's really a bone-to-space-station-to-SpaceBaby transition. Dave Bowman has become a being of pure energy, a "spirit" of sorts. They (the monoliths) have turned him into an inconceivable tool.
it's true, "this" kubrick was brilliant in envisioning future images as well as in depicting past ones (the primitive landscapes so abstract and silent, so wonderfully in their stillness, light and colours).
i think the film is a masterpiece, and im amazed of his premonition on future devices, design events and , it's great to be the witness of such a genius artist.
i also think other two brilliant visioners were George Orwell with his futuristic book about a totalitarian society "1984" and Aldous Huxley with "Brave New World", depicting a perfect world, emotionless in which babies are artificially born.
I for one hope the future doesn't look like "The Future"; I hope it looks like the distant past.
I am not alone when I say that I find prolonged exposure to modern, man-made environments to be hateful to my animal senses; its smells and sounds, harsh lighting, relentless right angles and inharmonious colors all conspire to make one's forehead to throb like a frog's throat. I propose that the crude, angular "junkscape" vision of the future which now prevails is but an awkward stage in our development, and shall give way to a future that is not built, but grown. Think of the translucent light, clean air and dispersed sound such wonders would bring! We shall abandon the use of nuts and bolts for seeds and soil, employing the infinitely complex processes of Nature: imagine a city comprised of giant, sentient fungi! Three-bedroom orchids! Pitcher plant elevators! Laptop computers grown from Venus Flytraps!
I look forward to the distant future when our great-great grandchildren shall fly to the Moon in giant walnuts powered by xylem-phloem engines, and say upon arrival, "Nairobi, this is Whimsy Base: the Cashew has landed!"

Increasing number of companies recognise the benefits of offering sabbaticals
Andrew Clark, February 22, 2010
Sabbaticals are growing in popularity for UK companies as they can benefit both employees and employers. In 2009 there were 19 companies on Fortune's '100 Best Companies to Work For' that sponsored sabbatical programmes, a 36% increase on 2008.
Before the economic downturn, the main focus for organisations was to try and attract future employees; however, there now seems to be a shift towards companies looking at ways to retain existing talent long term. As a result, it has never been more important for HR professionals to communicate the full range of their benefits programme so employees know the options available to them.
One great way of retaining staff is to offer paid sabbaticals, as these are a highly effective way to keep workforces motivated and engaged. John Lewis runs one of the longest-running paid sabbatical schemes in the UK. Now in its 30th year, the programme is unique as it seeks to reward partners with 25 years' service the opportunity to take up to six months' fully paid leave.
Throughout the years we have offered this benefit, we have seen employees come back reinvigorated, with increased commitment and new perspectives on their working life. Paid sabbaticals help retain top talent across all generations and can benefit companies of all sizes, they also fit well with the workplace trend for flexibility and having a good work-life balance.
Andrew Clark, head of reward at John Lewis Partnership
Case study: Maggie Davies, John Lewis Cheadle and Trafford
Maggie Davies joined Peter Jones in 1981 as a school leaver. Starting on the Management Training scheme she worked her way up the career ladder and reached department manager level. She worked in a variety of John Lewis shops, until settling at John Lewis Cheadle and Trafford. In 2007 Maggie decided she wanted a new challenge and applied for a job as personnel manager across John Lewis Cheadle and Trafford, where she works today.
In December 2008, Maggie and her husband Glynn decided to embark on their six-months long leave. Glynn, who works at John Lewis as a learning and development manager, has been at the company for 31 ½ years.
"Glynn and I had the most fantastic time during our long leave. We both have a passion for travelling so we decided it was the perfect time to take a round-the-world trip. We travelled for the first two months, visiting Australia for four weeks, New Zealand for three weeks and San Francisco for a few days on the way home. Some of our most memorable experiences were spending New Year watching fireworks in Sydney, travelling along the Great Ocean Road in Melbourne and exploring the ins and outs of Alcatraz in San Francisco.
"However, when we returned home, my travels didn't stop there. I also went on a couple of mini-breaks in Europe, visiting Seville and Paris with friends and going on safari in Kenya and Zanzibar. This was an amazing experience - it was incredible to be inches away from the big five in their natural habitat.
"It has been such as privilege to not only be granted six months off work but to also be paid for the pleasure. Most people would usually have to wait until they had retired to see and experience the things we have seen in the past six months. I feel Glynn and I have definitely made the most of our long leave and we will always be thankful to John Lewis for the memories we have from this period."

Anti-Arab Hate Crimes in the Aftermath of September 11, 2001: Assessing the Influence of Geographic and Situational Factors
Ilir Disha, University of South Florida

Margarethe Kusenbach, Ph.D.
Bias crime, Discrimination, Continuation ratio logit model, Social context, Muslim
This study investigates how hate crimes in general and anti-Arab hate crimes in particular were distributed across different regions of the United States during the 2001- 2002 period. The study explores how a historical event – the terrorist attacks against the U.S. on September 11, 2001 – and county population demographics affect the rates of hate crime against Arabs, Muslims or Middle Easterners. It was hypothesized that antiArab or anti-Muslim hate crimes displaced other forms of hate crime and were characterized by open acts of violence. According to the contact hypothesis, anti-Arab and anti-Muslim hate crimes would be more likely to occur in counties with relatively high levels of poverty and economic inequality. The research materials were obtained from publicly available data. The hate crime data were obtained from the national hate crime incidents reported to the FBI Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) program. The population demographics were obtained from the U.S. Census 2000. The primary research methods employed in this study include descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, full and partial correlations, independent sample t-tests and continuation ratio logit models. The study indicates that hate crimes against Arabs, Muslims and people of Middle Eastern descent increased dramatically after September 11, 2001. The findings further reveal that anti-Arab hate crimes are more likely to occur in counties with relatively high racial diversity than in counties with low racial diversity. The study shows that anti-Arab hate crimes do not follow the same patterns as anti-Black hate crimes and thus cannot be explained by the "defended neighborhood hypothesis." AntiArab hate crimes, instead, are best explained as a response to larger cultural and political threats available in mainstream society

Days of our Lives' Beyond Salem first looker trailer reveals another fan-favorite return
Wed Aug 25, 2021 at 5:11pm ET
By Rachelle Lewis
Beyond Salem is bringing the mystery, romance, and shocking moments Days of our Lives fans love. Pic credit: Peacock
Days of our Lives' Beyond Salem's first look trailer reveals another fan-favorite return for the limited series.
Peacock has given fans a glimpse of what to expect from the Days spin-off a couple of weeks ahead of its premiere. The trailer is filled with shocking moments, mystery, intrigue, romance, and a slew of long-time cast members heating up the screen.
It's been less than a month since news dropped Days of our Lives was getting a spin-off series headlined by Billie Reed (Lisa Rinna). However, the wait for the new show is almost over, and the trailer is only adding to the excitement.
Beyond Salem trailer reveals another fan-favorite return
The veteran Days cast members making an appearance on the Peacock series just got longer.
In the trailer, Shane (Charles Shaughnessy) kicks off a mystery by telling the story of the Alamainian Peacock to John (Drake Hogestyn) and Marlena (Deidre Hall). Shane spills the Alamainian Peacock was stolen in 1991, and the gems have fallen into the wrong hands. John, of course, knows there is more to the story.
News that Charles is back as Shane comes hot on the heels of The Young and the Restless alum, Peter Porte, joining the show as ISA agent Kyle Graham. Plus, Eileen Davidson returns in not one but two roles that have a long history with the good people of Salem.
What else can viewers expect from Beyond Salem?
Shane's return isn't the only big reveal in the trailer. RuPaul Drag Race queen Jackie Cox makes an appearance too.
Jackie impersonated Lisa during RuPaul's Drag Race season 12 for Snatch Game. The preview footage features Billie coming face to face with her look-a-like, wondering just who the impersonator is supposed to be. It's a pretty funny moment.
Zach Tinker makes his debut as Sonny Kiriakis taking over the role from Freddie Smith. The latter broke the news this summer he was done playing the character.
There is also lots of romance, intense encounters, fights, and dangerous moments in the trailer that will leave viewers anxious for the series to premiere on Monday, September 6 on Peacock.
Fans should expect more surprises when the show drops. The fact that the mystery revolves around the Alamainian Peacock should not go unnoticed. No doubt someone from the Alamain family will show up at some point in the series.
It's almost time for the Beyond Salem mystery to begin. If the trailer is any indication, viewers are in for a real treat with the series.
Days of our Lives airs weekdays on NBC.

Wendy Williams SHOW Returned Today But….
So after her original return date of January 7, 2019 and blowing off her return for 2 weeks, her show returned. However, the host(s) were everyone but Wendy. Today for your entertainment, it was announced that this is Hot Talk Week and the 4 host will be Judge Faith Jenkins, Don Lemon, Elizabeth Wagmeister and Heather McDonald.
The last few months or nearly a year has been filled with rumor and innuendo in regard to Wendy's husband, Kevin Hunter cheating, being abusive(allegedly mental and physically) and in addition to having had purchased a nearly million dollar home from his mistress, she is now said to be impregnated.
It's been said that Kevin Hunter ( Wendy's husband) has sold the house that he purchased for Sharina Hudson and that she has been relocated. It;s also been stated that Wendy has removed his name from her house as well.
The sad part is the lack of the a prenuptial and the fact that he is employed as her manager.
I've followed Wendy;s for a long time and has always recalled her stating that if she ever explored a divorce, that it would be once "the Boy" (her son) got grown and went to college. Welp! Little Kev started college this fall.
Last month, she showed up on screen with what she states was a hairline fracture in her arm and slurring her words as a result of allegedly taking pain meds.
I don;t know her issues but I have my opinions. I will watch it play out. I just don;t see her making it to Season 11 , as much as I love her show.
Don Lemon states that it takes four of them to replace Wendy and that they need her ti return at 400% but that she will return next Monday January 21, 2019. The same promise that she made 3 weeks ago.

China's national security more important than Hong Kong's autonomy, says director of Beijing's liaison office
April 15, 2019 April 15, 2019 / Aris Teon
Wang Zhimin (王志民), Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), and a member of the Communist Party Central Committee, welcomed the guilty verdict of 9 democracy activists and claimed that China's national security supersedes Hong Kong's high degree of autonomy.
Wang made the remarks in a speech at a forum hosted by the Hong Kong Policy Research Institute on Monday (15 April).
According to the Hong Kong news website Ming Pao, Wang Zhimin stated that the conviction of 9 democracy activists was a "just verdict" and "an important page in the history of rule of law and justice in Hong Kong."
On April 9, a group of activists, including sociology professor Chan Kin-man, 60, law professor Benny Tai, 54, and Baptist minister Chu Yiu-ming, 75, were found guilty of committing public nuisance for their role in the 2014 Occupy Central movement that eventually culminated in the so-called Umbrella Revolution.
The movement, which aimed at pressuring Beijing to grant Hong Kong the right to choose its leader by universal suffrage, was suppressed and protesters removed from the sites which they had occupied.
"Many citizens feel that the conviction of the 9 defendants is a victory for Hong Kong and the rule of law," Wang said. "And this conviction marks the legal redline for all illegal activities like Occupy Central which severely threaten public security and disrupt social stability."
Wang accused the activists of "conspiring with anti-Chinese foreign organizations" and "selling out Hong Kong to seek glory." The accusation that the Occupy movement was directed by foreign forces conspiring with traitorous elements is a trope used by the Chinese Communist leadership since 2014.
Wang claimed that Hong Kong needs to "squarely face and resolve existing shortcomings and risks in its legal system to protect national security."
"Safeguarding national security is an important constitutional duty of Hong Kong," he added, emphasizing that as far as national security is concerned, "there is only the duty of one country, not two systems. " (只有一國之責,沒有兩制之分).
"One country, two systems" was a framework proposed in the 1980s by Chinese Communist leader Deng Xiaoping to integrate the British colony of Hong Kong into the People's Republic of China as a Special Administrative Region with a high degree of autonomy.

Trump Administration May Dismantle Scientific Paywalls
The open access logo. Credit: PLoS, via Wikimedia Commons
The federal government spends billions of dollars of your money every year funding scientific research. And yet, in many cases, when the results of that research are published, it can take a full year before the public can read those results for free. The Trump administration wants to change that, making all taxpayer-funded research available immediately, but publishing companies aren't happy about it.
Ryan Mandelbaum, science reporter at Gizmodo, talks about that and other selected short subjects in science, including how the star Betelgeuse is evolving, why physicists super-cooled LEGO bricks, and an ancient Scottish monument that may have been built to attract bolts of lightning.
Learn more about the Trump's administration's push to make federally funded research open-access.

This is Science Friday. I'm Ira Flatow. Later in the hour, as large portions of Australia burn, what are we prepared to do to slow climate change? Geoengineering sounds dramatic, but my guest researcher says it could help buy time. All that later, but first, the federal government spends billions of dollars of your money every year funding scientific research.
And yet, in many cases, when the results of that research are published, it can take a full year before the public can read those results for free. The Trump administration wants to change that and make all taxpayer funded research available immediately. But publishing companies aren't happy about it. Joining me now with more of that is Ryan Mandelbaum, Science Reporter at Gizmodo here in New York. Welcome back.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: Always good to be here, Ira.
IRA FLATOW: Happy New Year to you.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: Happy New Year.
IRA FLATOW: Well, let's talk about this. President Obama began to open up access to taxpayer-funded research by making it free after a year behind a paywall, right?
RYAN MANDELBAUM: Mm-hmm.
IRA FLATOW: But President Trump wants to go even further with this.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: So, yeah, it's a rumor right now. They won't comment on this pending decision. But it's a rumor that the White House might actually make all federally funded research open access immediately afterwards. That's exciting to me, somebody who needs to read a lot of this research. And it's exciting, I'm sure, to those who have to spend a lot of money on papers, thousands of dollars for some journal subscriptions.
And obviously, as soon as these rumors came about, the publishing companies said, oh, no, you know, we can't. This is our business model. There's no way we could change things now. So it's– let's see what happens when they actually come out with the ultimate decision.
IRA FLATOW: So the decision has not come out yet.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: Right, just a rumor. But it does remain to be seen whether– I mean, one of the people who I read about commenting on this said it's weird that the Trump administration would want to do something like this. And, you know, the problem is that it is going to– scientists will have to eventually pay to put their research in open-access journals. So it's unclear what the motives are here. But I personally would love to see more research open access, so I guess it could be a step in the right direction.
IRA FLATOW: All right, let's go to your next story which is out in space with one of my favorite stars, Betelgeuse.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse.
IRA FLATOW: You can say it either way, right?
RYAN MANDELBAUM: Right.
IRA FLATOW: Beetlejuice, beetle jews, whatever.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: So it's the top left star of Orion, and it's been growing fainter. It went from being in the top 10 brightest stars in the sky. And it's now, in the past couple of months, it's gone out of the top 10 stars in the sky and keep brightest. And people are now wondering, is this star going to go supernova? And it's definitely got people excited. Because if a star that close, about 650 light years away, went supernova, it would be very bright. We would see it brighter than the moon here.
IRA FLATOW: Wow, so what is the hint that it would go supernova? What is the progression that happens?
RYAN MANDELBAUM: Right, so, I mean, what happens with these very big massive stars is the fusion starts to run out, and they slowly begin to burn. They're heavier and heavier elements until they collapse either into a neutron star or a black hole. Right now with Betelgeuse, the problem here is that it is a variable star already, so it's unclear whether this dimming is just sort of what it does or if it's actually going to go supernova. And it is expected maybe in an 100,000 years. So I wouldn't really bet on it just yet.
IRA FLATOW: Oh, so you don't think either of us are going to see that in our lifetime.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: No, no, but there's another star that–
IRA FLATOW: Yeah? You know, Eta Carinae is one that people have said. It's a star in the southern hemisphere. People can see it. We can't. But that supposedly might be going supernova soon, so we'll see.
IRA FLATOW: And there have been– there's records of seeing a supernova in history, right?
RYAN MANDELBAUM: That's right. I know that Chinese astronomers and astronomers going back to 1,000 AD. There was another supernova back in the 1980s, but we'll see. I mean, the next supernova is probably going to be a star you never heard of.
IRA FLATOW: Your next one is a real head-scratcher where physicists are actually learning how they might want to build quantum computers by super cooling LEGOS.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: [CHUCKLES] So just– quantum computer is the next sort of future computing technology. It will hopefully do some things that regular computers can't do. And today's quantum computers required cooling to near absolute zero. So LEGOs apparently have these great thermal properties where they don't conduct heat very well.
And so if you put them in a quantum computer as maybe a structural component like a scaffold, they might not destroy that quantum computers quantumness. So they're not going to put LEGOs in the quantum computer. What they're going to maybe do is use this research to maybe try and find a 3D-printed alternative based on the same material a LEGO and the same sort of interlocking architecture.
IRA FLATOW: Interesting. Next up, you have a story about a monument in Scotland that may have been built to attract lightning bolts.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: I saw this story. It was really cool, yeah.
IRA FLATOW: Tell us about it.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: Sure. So there is already a monument in Scotland called the Calanais Standing Stones. It's kind of like Stonehenge-looking.
IRA FLATOW: Yeah.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: But nearby, archaeologists uncovered another circle of rocks that seems to have a magnetic anomaly right in the middle that they think has come from, like, striking lightning bolts a bunch of times in the center of this rock circle.
IRA FLATOW: And that, of course, the striking would magnetize–
IRA FLATOW: –the rock.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: Yeah.
IRA FLATOW: So it's not a magnetic rock that's attracting the lightning. It's just the lightning– it's because the rock is magnetized, they say lightning must've struck it.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: Right. I don't think that they knew they were– I don't think they were building like a lightning rod. I think what they thought they either was happening is lightning was striking this location a lot, so they built a monument around it and yeah.
IRA FLATOW: That is cool. Now, I know that lastly, that you are an avid birder.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: I sure am.
IRA FLATOW: And this holiday season, you've been all over, the annual Christmas Bird Count all over. Tell us where you've been, what you've seen.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: Yeah, so I actually did four Christmas Bird counts in four days, mainly was in the northern Minnesota, eastern North Dakota area. In Grand Forks, North Dakota, my team actually– we got some birds that nobody else did. We saw American tree sparrow, which it's a little too cold for them there, so we got very lucky with that one.
Pileated woodpecker, which common in a lot of the rest of the country, we were the only group who saw one. And then I think that the best animal I saw during my Christmas Bird counts is I saw almost nothing in Itasca, which is the Mississippi headwater, but I saw a wolf, like a gray wolf walking on the frozen ice.
IRA FLATOW: Wow.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: Yeah, so that was not a bird. But it was pretty awesome to be able to take part and help out in all these counts where a lot of people don't really– it's too cold. It's very cold.
IRA FLATOW: Well, it's always awesome to have you, Ryan.
RYAN MANDELBAUM: Great to be around. Thanks, Ira.

MARK ON RESPONSIBILITY
Jacob Henderson
"I think age is just a number when you're out there"
Mark McGuinness says he will always be a player that takes responsibility out on the football pitch.
The Town defender, who is on loan at Blues from Arsenal for the season, is only 19 years old but aspires to be a leader to his teammates.
Ipswich v Charlton matchday programme
In a feature interview for Saturday's matchday programme, the centre-back discusses the penalty incident against Shrewsbury last Saturday, a disappointing night for Blues against Hull on Tuesday, and his first taste of action with Republic of Ireland U21s during the last international break.
"I think age is just a number when you're out there," Mark told the matchday programme.
"I always take responsibility for my actions and I take responsibility for any goal that goes in our net - it's just how I am.
"Obviously I gave the penalty away against Shrewsbury and that wasn't good enough. You have to take responsibility as this all part of the process of learning as a young player.
"Thankfully we turned that game around but it was a disappointing night against Hull.
"We can't be too downbeat because Saturday is another test and we have to be right up for it. We can't afford to get off to a slow start so we must put Tuesday night behind us."

FAITH NO MORE: New Song 'Motherf**ker' Available For Streaming
Pioneering alt-metallers Faith No More have released new song Motherfucker – the first official single from their upcoming eighth album. This is their first new music since 1997's "Album Of The Year". Song can be streamed using the SoundCloud widget below (courtesy of RollingStone.com).
Keyboardist Roddy Bottum says, in a statement, "It feels apt that the first track we're releasing is 'Motherfucker,' a song about accountability. Basically we've created, recorded and mixed a new body of work by ourselves and we're releasing it on our own label. It's a huge deal for us to only have ourselves to answer to at this point in our career and the song is about that, where the buck stops via the basic imagery of foie gras production, bondage. . .y'know, stuff like that."
"Motherfucker" will be available as a seven-inch on Record Store Day's Black Friday event on November 28 and as a digital release on December 9. The B-side of the physical release is a remix of the track by JG Thirlwell. This edition is limited to 5,000 copies.
You can pre-order digital version on Amazon.

The aptera of Aphis coronillae is dark brown to brownish green with a more or less shiny black dorsal shield and no wax powdering. The shield extends over segments 1-6 inclusive, but is weakened by membranous lines between some of the anterior segments. The shield is reticulated, a feature formerly only thought to be visible in slide mounted specimens, but also clearly shown in our photo of the live insect (see first picture below). Abdominal tergites 1-4 and 7 regularly bear very protuberant, dome-shaped marginal tubercles (cf. Aphis craccivora where tergites 2-6 are usually without marginal tubercles, or rarely with 1-3 small ones). Nearly all the hairs on the legs are very short. The body length of adult Aphis coronillae apterae is 1.3-2.2 mm.
Immatures range from greenish-yellow (the youngest) to reddish brown (fourth instars). Aphis coronillae alatae have 3-9 secondary rhinaria on antennal segment III, and 0-2 on segment IV.
Aphis coronillae coronillae (clover aphid) lives on Trifolium species.
Aphis coronillae arenariae (medick aphid) lives on Medicago lupulina.
Most of the aphids pictured on this page are Aphis coronillae arenariae.
Aphis coronillae lives on the basal parts of certain Leguminosae / Fabaceae, especially clovers (Trifolium) and medicks (Medicago). It does not host alternate. Sexual forms appear in September. The males are mostly apterous, but are occasionally brachypterous or alate. Aphis coronillae is usually attended by and sheltered by ants. It is widely distributed in Europe, and is also found in west Siberia.
One of the main hosts of Aphis coronillae is black medick Medicago lupulina (see picture below), a very common herb found in pastures and lawns. It is a pioneer plant often growing in disturbed ground, and is especially fond of xeric habitats such as pavements in residential areas.
We have found Aphis coronillae in two locations - on black medick growing in and around pavements in an East Sussex village (see pictures above), and on clover growing around farm buildings at Middle Farm, East Sussex (see picture below). The apparent scarcity of Aphis coronillae is doubtless enhanced by its subterranean feeding site. The only indication of the aphids' presence is tenting with debris over infested runners by attending ants.
The common black ant (Lasius niger) is usually the species that carries out the earth tenting and attends the aphids.
First and second instar Aphis coronillae (see picture above) are yellowish-green with some reddish coloration near the siphunculi.
By the third instar (see picture above) they are a rich reddish-brown. As they develop to adults, they acquire a more-or-less shiny black dorsal shield.
The extent of this shield is somewhat variable. In the adult below, it is rather more fragmented than on the adult shown at the top of the page.
Baker (2009)reports finding Aphis coronillae subspecies arenaria on subterranean parts of Medicago lupulina, growing on 'brownfield' land in Cardiff Bay during summer, 2007. It was sheltered and attended by the ant Lasius niger. There are also recent reports from Switzerland (Lethmayer, 1998), West Siberia (Stekolshchikov et al., 2008) and Greece (Tsitsipis, 2007).
Blackman & Eastop list 10 species of aphid as feeding on black medick (Medicago lupulina) worldwide, and provide formal identification keys.
Of those aphid species, Baker (2015) lists 9 as occurring in Britain: Acyrthosiphon pisum, Aphis coronillae arenaria, Aphis craccivora, Aphis medicaginis, Megoura viciae, Myzus ornatus, Myzus persicae, Pemphigus populi and Therioaphis trifolii.
We especially thank Middle Farm, East Sussex for their kind assistance, and permission to sample.

Q: Multiple dropdownlist postback in MVC3 I have the following code on a view:
@using (Html.BeginForm()) {

            Select transcript name to view:
            @Html.DropDownList("license", (SelectList)ViewBag.Licenses, new { onchange = "this.form.submit();" })

            You may have multiple periods for each transcript name:
            @Html.DropDownList("period", (SelectList)ViewBag.Periods, new { onchange = "this.form.submit();" })

}

I need to implement some logic depending on which dropdown cause the postback. I'm thinking to add a hidden input and set value of the control name by jQuery before submit the form, but I'm wondering if there is a 'native' way to do this.
This is my controller signature:
public ActionResult Checklist(int license, int period)

Thanks in advance!

A: I would apply a class to the dropdown so that my jQuery can use that as the selector criteria
 @Html.DropDownList("license", (SelectList)ViewBag.Licenses, new { @class="mySelect"})
 @Html.DropDownList("period", (SelectList)ViewBag.Periods, new { @class="mySelect"})
 <input type="hidden" id="source" name="source" value="" />

And the script is
$(function(){

 $(".mySelect").change(function(){
   var itemName=$(this).attr("name");
   $("#source").val(itemName);
    $("form").submit()
 });

});

A: Use something like this. (Here you are calling the action method instead of submitting the form)
Which ever dropdown caused the change will pass non zero value to the action method and the other will pass 0.
 @Html.DropDownList("license", (SelectList)ViewBag.Licenses, new { onchange = "document.location.href = '/ControllerName/Checklist?license=' + this.options[this.selectedIndex].value + '&period=0'" })
 @Html.DropDownList("period", (SelectList)ViewBag.Periods, new { onchange = "document.location.href = '/ControllerName/Checklist?license=0&period=' + this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;" })

Hope this helps!

Kailasanathar Temple is a Shiva Kanchi, which is one among the three Kanchis in Kancheepuram, the other two being the Vishnu Kanchi and the Jain Kanchi. Kailasanathar Temple is located on the banks of the Vedavathi River at the western limits of the Kanchipuram facing east. It is the oldest temple in Kancheepuram.
Kailasanathar Temple was built by the Pallavas during 650 AD- 705 AD. It is the first structural temple in South India built by Rajasimha Pallaveswaram and later completed by his son Mahendra Varma Pallava, so mesmerized were the Pallavas with this city that they made Kancheepuram their capital. Later on the Cholas took over Kancheepuram after the Pallavas. It is a popular belief that during wars this temple served as a safe haven for the rulers. There was a tunnel built by the kings as an escape route which can be seen even today. Currently Kailasanathar Temple is looked after by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) as it is in a little deteriorated state owing to old age.
This temple was first of its kind made of stone architecture as compared to other structures which made out of stone carvings or rock carvings. The foundation of this temple is made of granite which enables it to withstand the massive structure, while the outer structure and carvings are made up of sandstone. The temple has 58 small shrines built into the niches of the compound wall enclosing the main shrine. The shrine depicts the carvings of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati in many dance forms. Apart from the sub-shrines there are sanctum sanctorum (main shrine), mandapa (main hall), a high compound wall, and an entrance gate, the gopuram. The pillars of the mandapa have statues of lions standing on their hind legs as if trying to warn not to harm the temple.
The entrance of the Kailasanathar Temple has gopuram walls plastered. The entrance wall has eight small shrines and a gopura. Kailasanathar Temple has simple layout with a tower (Shikara) at the center of the complex. The tower of the temple rises in pyramid shape and has a dome shape roof on the top.
The main shrine (sanctum sanctorum) has 16 sided Shivalinga made in black granite. The inner and outer walls of the temple are carved with the images of numerous Gods and Goddesses. There is also a sculpture of Nandi guarding at the entrance. Gods and Goddesses who have their carvings in the outer walls are Brahma, Vishnu, Nandi, Goddess Durga with three Ganas and Shiva in Samhara-Tandava (destructive dancing) pose.
The inner walls of the temple has many images of Goddess Durga, Skanda, Bhavati, Tripurantaka, Garudarudha-Vishnu, Narasimha Vishnu (Vishnu in the incarnation of lion faced man), Shiva Tandava (Shiva in a dancing pose), Shiva severing the fifth head of Brahma, desecration of Yagna of Dakhsa, Brahma and his wife, Vishnu flanked by Bhudevi and Sridevi, Lingodhbava (emergence of linga), Bhikshatana, Ravana, and Vali offering prayers to Atmalinga Chandikeshvara. The temple's south facing wall has very elegant image of Shiva in a sitting posture of peace and quietude known as Dakhshinamurti, and its west wall has Shiva in the form of Lingodhbav.
This is the only temple in Kanchipuram which has retained its originality after being built by the Pallavas, rest of all the temples has been tampered or modified later by the kings of Cholas and/or Vijayanagar rulers after built by the Pallavas. There is numerous depiction of sculpture of erect lions in all directions of the temples. A circumambulatory passage exists along the wall of the temple. It is a narrow passage through which devotees must crawl through after climbing seven steps to reach the passage. It is said that passing through this passage is similar to passing through life and attaining moksha or freedom from life and death circle. The experience of making circumambulation around the deities is truly divine.
Maha Shivratri is the most popular festival celebrated here. It is celebrated every year on the 13th night/ 14th day of the Magha month of Hindu calendar or in the month of February/March. Visiting this temple during Maha Shiv Ratri is considered to be extremely auspicious. Every year thousands of devotees visit the temple during this occasion.
Kailasanathar Temple opens at 06:00 am and remains closed from 12 noon to 4 pm. The temple reopens at 4 pm and closes at around 7 pm.
Kailasanathar Temple is mostly visited by the tourists more for its architectural marvel than the religious significance. However Puja is offered daily two times to Lord Shiva, one in the morning and one in evening.

Attractions in Puerto Madero
Puerto Madero is a nice neighborhood to lounge in one of many parks, ride a bike and perhaps dine on the waterfront, but it's not distinguished for its abundance of touristic sights. There are a handful of attractions for sightseers, history buffs and art lovers in Puerto Madero though.
On the east side of dock four, by crane eight, you can stroll by the tourist information office of Puerto Madero to pick up some maps and tourist info in a variety of languages.
Along the southern side of Puerto Madero is Buenos Aires only floating casino, the 'Star of Fortune,' a replica of a Mississippi riverboat. Casino Puerto Madero has 700 slot machines and 150 tables of the standard casino games and is open 24 hours a day. If you lose money here we would like to say you could take comfort knowing that the income earned is invested back into the country– profits go to the Argentine National Lottery, but they are currently facing legal action for a lack of transparency.
On dock two you can step into the Catholic University of Argentina's Art Pavilion and check out some interesting exhibitions for free.
On dock four, near the tourist information center, is the Corbeta Uruguay Museum, a gunner boat that pioneered Arctic exploration. This 1874 boat is the oldest of Argentina's navy's fleet.
If one boat isn't sufficient on dock three you can visit the Fragata Presidente Sarmiento, a 1897 Argentine Navy training boat converted into a museum that will delight kids. This ship, now declared a national monument, sailed around the world over 40 times and hosted notable guests such as Theodore Roosevelt.
Crossing over to the eastern side of the water, you'll pass the Buenos Aires Yatch Club and the 200 sailboats docked there. There is a nautical school here that gives classes in sailing, rowing and kayaking.
On the same side of the dock is the public art collection of Amalia Lacroze de Fortabat, one of Argentina's wealthiest women. Over 200 works on display in a modern building of glass and steel.

Q: Como cambiar el valor de un div estilizado desde consola usando javascript? Lo que queria basicamente es desde la consola de herramientas al desarrollo de chrome poder cambiar su valor usando algun codigo en javascript tal como:
$("div[name=example]").focus().val(10).blur();

Obviamente este codigo no me funciono. Cual seria la manera correcta de alterar el valor de este div estilizado que aparenta ser un slider desde la consola:

Basicamente el div estilizado que aparenta ser un slider es el siguiente .

element.style {

In order to be both productive in work and happy in leisure, having the requisite energy to perform at your best in social or vocational situations makes life a breeze. Alternatively, feeling energy-sapped can affect everything from confidence to motivation, taking away from the quality of your work and the enjoyment of your free time. This article outlines four methods of increasing your energy levels. From cutting out damaging habits to issuing your body a new and consistent sleep regime, by making these adjustments, you receive a welcome and well-needed boost to your energy levels.
Sleep is your downtime, the period of each day that you spend recharging so that when you wake up, you're ready to crack on with your day without delay or reluctance. It's imperative therefore to place emphasis on your sleeping pattern, ensuring you get between 6 and 8 hours of slumber every 24 hours. Late nights may be a large part of your lifestyle, but the best sleep is all about establishing a solid routine your body can get used to, so consider calling it a night early a little more often, and ensuring you are in bed ready to sleep by a certain time every night.
Caffeine would be the consumption item of choice for those looking to boost their energy levels, either with a trusty mug of tea or coffee or by sipping on an energy drink. That's not the advice here though. To truly boost your energy without relying on the topsy-turvy world of stimulants, you should ensure you're eating a healthy diet without heavy carbohydrate hits, and drinking a good amount of water each day. By simply getting on top of these simple things, you'll notice your energy takes an upturn and your vitality increases.
On the other end of the spectrum, most UK adults exhibit at least some degree of energy-sapping bad habits that they can bring under control if given the right course of action. Perhaps the most latent of these is alcohol consumption. As a depressive, alcohol makes you more tired and sleeping when drunk is not nearly as replenishing as sleeping sober. If you feel you certainly have a problem with booze, consider the Rancho Cucamonga drug treatment programme in order to leave drinking behind in favour of a more energised, healthier existence.
When you exercise, whether that be in the form of a walk or cycle home from work or a bi-weekly gym session, your body releases endorphins. These strong brain chemicals do much to boost your mood and enhance your energy levels, which may seem counter-intuitive given the generally tiring nature of exercise. Ensure that you have at least three exercise events in each week to get your heady dose of endorphins, contributing to an overall boost in your energy levels, as well as tiring your body out when it comes to hitting the hay.
Adjust your lifestyle today to enhance low energy levels, giving you the vitality you need to succeed at work and have fun in your leisure time.
