Projects (menu position rule)
Health Leadership Program
The five-year USAID-funded Health Leadership Program (HLP) supports the Haitian government's efforts to build an optimal health system that is accessible, accountable, affordable, and reliable.
HLP will work closely with local partners alongside the Government of Haiti to build its capacity to lead and finance the health sector and improve its planning and oversight of the health workforce. HLP will enhance the capabilities of Haitian partners to direct their own development and reduce dependence on outside sources.
HLP will strengthen the government's capacity to lead and coordinate domestic, international, private, and public stakeholders in planning; using data for decision- and policy-making with an emphasis on gender and social inclusion; managing resources based on need; and maximizing impact. HLP's technical assistance to the Government will target specific capacity gaps using mentorship, coaching, learning by doing, peer-to-peer learning, and formal trainings.
MSH will lead the project in collaboration with two local partners: Group Croissance, a Haitian consulting firm specializing in health finance and budget transparency, and the women-led Centre de Formation et d'Encadrement Technique, a Haitian consulting organization specializing in human resource management.
This project expands on the approach central to USAID's mission to help countries on their journey to self-reliance: After the first two years, MSH will transfer accountability to local partners to achieve targets and deliverables for each HLP objective and will retain only a technical assistance role thereafter.
HLP builds on MSH's trusted relationships in Haiti's public and private sectors—and across the political spectrum—that were created by delivering resilient programs with measurable, sustainable results, most recently the World Bank Projet d'Amélioration de la Santé Maternelle et Infantile à travers des Services Sociaux Intégrés (PASMISSI) project and the USAID Leadership, Management, and Governance program.

Seniors news: Dementia safety discussion planned
NEWPORT — The Newport Senior Center, 76 S. Main St., will be hosting a free Dementia and Home Safety panel discussion on Monday, July 29, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
The Newport Senior Center, the Sullivan County Nutrition Services, New Hampshire chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, the Summercrest Senior Living Community and the Newport Police Department would like to share, in a panel discussion, strategies, supports and services to encourage a safe environment and lifestyle for those affected with memory challenges.
Alzheimer's disease causes a number of changes in the brain and body, and can affect how to think about safety. Depending on the stage of the disease, changes can affect:
• Judgment, e.g. forgetting how to use household appliances.
• Sense of time, e.g. getting lost on one's own street.
• Behavior, e.g. becoming easily confused, suspicious or fearful.
• Physical ability, e.g. having trouble with balance.
• Senses, e.g. experiencing changes in vision, hearing, or sensitivity to temperature or depth perception.
Register in advance to reserve a seat. The registration list will be available at the front desk of the senior center.
Company launches senior-care app
SAN FRANCISCO — Elders can find themselves alone and vulnerable in various situations, leaving family members worried about their safety. But now a free app aims to provide newfound protection and peace of mind for all involved.
Safe365, available around the world with user presence in 193 countries, is being launched as a free phone telecare app for seniors.
Through the app, family members know at all times where their loved ones are, whether they have arrived somewhere safely, or whether they may have gotten confused and wandered away.
The app has other functionalities as well: an emergency button for seniors to press to get help, automatic notifications when they enter or leave a certain area, an option to warn when a mobile device is running out of battery.
What also sets Safe365 apart is its notifications based on detected patterns of the elderly user. This aspect of the app helps hone in on habits of the user and it can send out an alert when something outside that habit takes place.
The app maximizes the use of GPS technology but also sports a social and "e-motional" side to it as well. It connects elders with their families via features like photo and mood sharing. It also offers an infinite scrolling social feed with latest family actions.
"With Safe365 it feels like you are connected to your family 24/7," said Guillem Viladomat, CEO of Safe365. "Safe365 helps extend years of self-reliance for our loved ones, even delaying expensive senior housing solutions."
Although Safe365 has been designed to be a safety locator for the elderly, it is open to any type of audience that can adapt the app's functionality to that audience's needs. For example, it can also serve as a GPS locator for children in case parents want to know their children's location when they return from school or are headed to a friend's house.
More information on the full capabilities and benefits of Safe365 can be found at www.Safe365.com.
The app is free in both the Google Play Store for Android devices and the App Store for Apple iOS devices.

We have always had this on our must dine list, and finally got the right excuse. Located at the old PacBell Building, this restaurant is defintely a dinner destination spot. Stylish tall ceiling, cool accent lights and textured leather booths.
Insider Tip – Dine with more people so you can order more. Eat at the bar to save. Go for Dinner.
Verdict – mourad wowed us with the innovative cuisine, served in a beautiful atmosphere. The large dishes are so big, that we need to come back to try more of them. (Especially the Short Rib) We like this restaurant a lot more than Aziza.
mourad Signature Dishes – Chicken La'acha, Basteeya, Octopus.
mourad's Menu changes with the seasons but features several signature dishes and 5 large family style dishes. ($75-$145) They also have a $120 Tasting Menu. A couple options for vegetarians.
Mojito ($13) has strong and bold. Could have used more mint at the bottom of the glass.
Basteeya ($22) duck . asian pear . lemon verbena . crème fraîche . almond looks like a big egg roll. It was tender and flaky, willed with a variety of flavors. Wish it was bigger!
Octopus ($20) brussels sprouts . cauliflower . mustard . preserved lemon was ordered as an appetizer but came late with our entrees. Mishap #1. A decent dish with 5 large chunks of tender octopus. I like the sour-bitterness from the side of lemon. A good dish, but this was overshadowed by the others.
Chicken La'acha or Moroccan family style dinner ($75) preserved lemon . green olive . marash (serves two) is a must get signature dish. It can easily serve 3+! Crispy skin and tender meat made this great. The sides of couscous (very buttery), kale (fantastic), crisp potatoes (also great), and tomato feta heirloom beans were also stellar. Do not hesitate packing this to go. Give them 30 minutes to cook this, so order early.
Snapper La'acha or Moroccan family style dinner ($89) red charmoula . mushroom (serves two to three) was very impressive and huge. Again, it can serve 4+ people. Bold flavors, nice and deboned (We found a couple small bones) with excellent mushrooms.
Flatbread ($2 each) comes with the Eggplant appetizer, but it sounded so good, we had to order some. Warm, toasty, a must get. Goes well with the Chicken and Snapper.
Strawberry Dessert ($12) rhubarb . coriander . labneh was an interesting dessert. Crispy pastry shell topped with strawberry and a hint of spicy coriander. A modern dessert.

Interview with Dr. Alun Withey
On September 29, 2016 September 29, 2016 By jennifertaylorwritesIn Uncategorized
Good morning! I'm delighted to have Dr. Alun Withey visiting me, all the way from Wales. Last year, while doing resarch for Heartbeat of the Moon, I happened upon Dr. Withey's excellent blog:
https://dralun.wordpress.com/ . He's written an impressive number of informative and entertaining blogs on subjects as varied as the significance of the beard throughout history, and medical treatments for the time period.
Dr. Withey is an academic historian of medicine and the body, and a research fellow at the University of Exeter. He did his thesis on medicine in 17th and 18th Century Wales. You can imagine what an invaluable source his work is for an historical romance author like myself. It's like stepping back in time, only with modern plumbing. Welcome, Alun!
Alun: Thanks for inviting me onto your blog!
Jennifer: Would you mind sharing a little bit about yourself?
Alun: I left school with no clear idea of what I wanted to do, and ended up in an office job, working for a major UK bank…where I stayed for more than 10 years. I've always had a love of history though, and especially the 17th Century, and started to study whilst I was still working.
In 2003, with the support of my family, I took the big step of leaving the bank and went to University, taking my BA, MA, and finally my PhD on Welsh medical history in 2009, funded by the Wellcome Trust. The rest, as they say, is history! Finding medical history was a complete and happy accident.
Jennifer: You are a 2014 AHRC /BBC 'New Generation Thinker'. Can you tell us about that?
Alun: Every year the New Generation Thinkers scheme gives an opportunity for 10 individuals to work closely with radio and television producers to develop their ideas for broadcast. It's a highly competitive scheme, but is a fantastic opportunity for anyone (like me!) who enjoys reaching a broader audience for their work. Through the scheme I've been lucky enough to work on programmes for BBC Radio and the BBC Arts TV channel, often live, which can be both exhilarating and challenging, and speak to the public about my research. I'm certain that it's also opened doors in other ways.
Jennifer: It sounds like a huge honor. Your articles give readers a detailed glimpse into the everyday life of folks in the early modern period. Since the heroine of my series is a midwife in the 18th Century, I'm particularly fascinated with your articles on medical history. Here's one of my favorites from 10/17/14: "Seventeenth Century Remedies You'd Probably Want to Avoid." https://dralun.wordpress.com/2014/10/17/10-seventeenth-century-remedies-youd-probably-want-to-avoid/
One of the treatments you uncovered for "collick" was to distill the testicles of a chicken (do I have that right?) and take a few teaspoons when the need arises. Wow. Would you like to add anything to that? What's one of the most bizarre treatments you've ever come across?
Alun: Yes, you're absolutely right about the chicken's testicles! When I'm looking at early modern remedy collections I commonly come across one that I think must surely be the most unusual…and then another one crops up to take its place. Two favourites spring to mind: first is the 'oil of swallows' to treat shrunken limbs, which involves catching 20 (or more) live swallows, baking them to a powder, adding all sorts of oils and herbs, putting the pot into a hot dunghill for 2 weeks, then rubbing the oil onto the limbs.
The other is a cure for constipation, which directs the afflicted person to squat down over a bucket of boiling milk for as long as they can bear it…or until something starts to move!
Jennifer: I'm trying to imagine how people ever came up with such unusual treatments. And it's also fascinating to think about how many people did survive and indeed thrived in that time period. What, in your opinion, did they do right?
Alun: Studying early modern medicine can be challenging. You have to balance cool academic detachment with the urge to burst out laughing at times. In all seriousness though, it's important to remember that early modern medical remedies were based on a perfectly logical, coherent and complex model of the body – the humours. If you believe, as they did, that the body works in a particular way, and that sickness is something to be driven out, then the majority of the remedies make perfect sense.
Also, the many ingredients that seem strange to modern eyes are also based on their assumptions about the properties and powers that they contained. So, products from animals, herbs etc., were all believed to have certain virtues, which could be harnessed to cure particular ailments. I often remind people that what we think of as modern medicine (biomedicine) has existed for not much more than a century, whereas beliefs in the humours lasted thousands of years. That being said, I'm not suggesting that people go hunting for swallows, or chopping the 'cods' off chickens for their medicines!
Jennifer: Ha ha! You've written at length about the social significance of men's grooming. What would you like us to know about that?
Alun: The project I'm currently working on is looking at the health and hygiene history of facial hair, between 1700 and 1918. A big part of this is how shaving moved from being something originally done by a medical practitioner (a barber or barber-surgeon), and over time became part of the personal grooming routines of individuals. It's easy to think of personal grooming as something that is unimportant and mundane. But the decisions involved in shaving (or not shaving), the growth of male skin products, scents, and even things like cosmetic procedures, all involve decisions. These can link into fashion, but also other important things like health, ideals of appearance, masculinity and so on. That's why I think that it is important to capture the history of these things over a long period, to see how things change and, perhaps more importantly, why.
Jennifer: You are also the author of Physick and the Family: Health, Medicine and Care in Wales, 1600-1750, and Technology, Self-Fashioning and Politeness in Eighteenth Century Britain: Refined Bodies. I can only imagine the tremendous amount of dedication and patience it takes to unearth such detailed information.
Alun: I think if you love what you do then the work is made much easier. I've certainly covered a lot of mileage over the years, hunting for the sources for my books, but the joy for me is encountering documents that probably haven't seen the light of day for decades. I've never lost (and hope I never do) the thrill of touching a centuries-old manuscript, which was once the property of a real 17th or 18th-century person, and with their words and thoughts on it. It's as close as you can get to actually being able to speak to them.
Jennifer: Alun, I'm curious about what set you on the road to becoming a medical historian.
Alun: It was actually a complete accident. In 2006 I was looking for sources for my undergraduate dissertation, which I intended to be about the civil wars in 17th-century Wales. I went to a record office on one particular day, and asked the archivist on duty whether he knew of any contemporary sources. He thought, and then suggested a 17th-century notebook in their collections, which nobody had really worked on. I ordered the book up, and was immediately struck by some remedies in it, including a cure for smallpox, as well as a pill 'to make a horse pisse'! I did some further investigating and discovered that very little had actually been written on Welsh medical history, so this became the subject of my undergraduate dissertation…which was published, and then informed my MA thesis…which ultimately led to the PhD.
What I love most about the history of medicine is that you're ultimately dealing with people just like us – people who just wanted to avoid being ill, relieve their symptoms and get better. Even if we put all the grand theory and science aside, medical history makes us ask important questions about the human condition, and our journey through life.
Jennifer: You've really given us a lot to think about. What's the least and most favorite part of your job?
Alun: I think the favourite parts would be the actual process of research – the thrill of the chase, and being able to pass some of these fantastic sources on, whether through formal ways like the academic publishing and teaching, or to a wider audience through the blog, or the media activities. It's a joy to do.
I don't really have a least favourite…although I guess something like doing the final edits for a book, or especially the index, might come close!
Jennifer: Doing an index does sound pretty daunting. What's next for you?
Alun: For the next two years I'm working on my Wellcome Trust-funded project on the history of facial hair, so there's lots of research to do, writing and (hopefully) another book and other exciting things such as curating a museum exhibition in London in November.
Jennifer: That's exciting. How about music? It's vital for me as a writer. Do you use it as inspiration for your writing?
Alun: I love all sorts of music – especially the blues/rock, but I can't work to it…I just end up listening to the music without actually doing the writing. Instead I usually put something gentler when I'm writing – often classical music (Vaughan Williams is a favourite), or something acoustic.
Jennifer: Tell us about your guitar playing.
Alun: I've been playing for 30 years now and can't imagine being without a guitar. When I'm working there is always an acoustic guitar within reach and I often pick it up and play absent-mindedly…helps me get my thoughts together. I used to have 12 guitars, but now it's down to a more reasonable 8! There is still one guitar that I'd love to own – a Gibson jumbo-acoustic. Next time I go to the States I may come home with one!
Jennifer: Thanks very much for visiting my blog today, Alun.
Alun: My pleasure, and thanks for having me.

Meanwhile, to make the sauce, place cornflour in a small saucepan. Blend in orange juice, cranberry sauce and sugar if required. Bring to the boil, stirring.
Place duck on a carving dish, spoon over a little of the sauce and serve remainder separately.
To make the stuffing, combine breadcrumbs, suet, Coriander, Marjoram, Onion Salt, Pepper, orange zest and juice. Mix in the egg until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Use to stuff the duck at the tail end. Sprinkle breast with salt and Pepper. Weigh, place in a roasting tin with a little oil, cover with foil and cook for 30 minutes per 450g (1 lb). If necessary remove foil ½ hour before end of cooking time so that the skin becomes crisp and golden.

Q: Chai http - double callback issue I have a normal unit test for my REST api using chai-http. It fails with following error
warn: double callback!
error: { SyntaxError: Unexpected token { in JSON at position 58
    at Object.parse (native)
    at IncomingMessage.<anonymous> (E:\projects\node_modules\chai-http\node_modules\superagent\lib\node\parsers\json.js:8:35)
    at emitNone (events.js:91:20)
    at IncomingMessage.emit (events.js:185:7)

  statusCode: 200,
  response: undefined }

As you can see, the rawResponse is duplicated due to which the test is failing. I debugged the code, and the controller code is called exactly once, with proper output. But can't understand why this error occurs.
Following is the test code
// some code to mock mongoose with mockgoose
....
....

let server = require('../../../server');
let should = chai.should();
chai.use(chaiHttp);

describe.only('Books', () => {
  describe('/GET book', () => {
      it('it should GET all the books', (done) => {
        chai.request(server)
            .get('/api/books')
            .end((err, res) => {
                console.log(res);
                res.should.have.status(200);

              done();
            }).catch(function(err){
                console.error(err);
                done(err);
            });
      });
  });
});

A: You're mixing two types of async handling: using .end/.catch instead of either .then/.catch or .end
Because there's an error, both .end() (with the first argument, err, set) and .catch() are getting called, resulting in the done callback being called twice.
Here's a solution using .then/.catch, combined with Mocha's built-in promise support (not using done):
it('it should GET all the books', () => {
  return chai.request(server)
      .get("/api/books")
      .then(res => {
        console.log(res);
        res.should.have.status(200);
      })
      .catch(err => {
        console.error(err);
        throw err; // Re-throw the error if the test should fail when an error happens
      });
});

And using .end:
it('it should GET all the books', done => {

  chai.request(server)
      .get("/api/books")
      .end((err, res) => {
        if (err) return done(err);
        console.log(res);
        res.should.have.status(200);
        done();
      });

});

Muslim Teacher Receives 'Anonymous' Death Threat Letter…Claiming Her Headscarf Isn't Allowed In 'Trump's America'… [VIDEO]
12 Nov, 2016 by	Sonja Bochow
Trump won the Presidential election. And there are some people who appear to be using that as an excuse for engaging in behaviors Trump would find reprehensible. These people are not representative of Donald Trump's views, they represent only themselves and their hate filled perspectives.
A young Muslim high school teacher in Dacula, Georgia, found a nasty note in her classroom. The note, which was addressed to 'Mrs. Teli' advised that her headscarf was no longer welcome and that she should hang herself with it. This kind of behavior is unacceptable. Trump is NOT about being hateful. He is about making this nation great again for EVERYONE. So whoever these despicable people are, they don't represent Trump or Trump's voters. They represent only themselves.
The note says nothing about Trump. But that didn't stop Mairah Teli from inaccurately pinning the blame on Trump's election. There's no way to know whether this hatred was fueled by the election since the writer said nothing about it. And it does not help the situation to jump to conclusions.
Hopefully these hatemongers will be found. There is no excuse for this kind of intimidation. But let's not blame Trump or his election if it hasn't even been mentioned in the perpetrator's note. Let's blame the writer of the note. Mrs. Teli should not have to be victimized by this, but she should also not blame a guy who had nothing to do with it.
Anyone using the election to hurt or threaten others is wrong. Period. But let's be sure we are blaming the criminals and not the candidates.
See Trump explain his plan for ALL Americans including Mrs. Teli and her family, below.

A Spinning Cube: Order, Disorder, and the Universe
October 30, 2018 October 31, 2018 nate.jonesLeave a comment

Robert Smithson's brief press release for a Dwan Gallery exhibition of Sol LeWitt's white, open-work cubic structures ends with the following observation: Extreme order brings extreme disorder. The ratio between the order and the disorder is contingent. Every step around [LeWitt's] work brings unexpected intersections of infinity.[i] That an artist so preoccupied with moments where the supposed clarity of vision becomes muddled and opaque finds within LeWitt's work an entropic register is no surprise. What Smithson's tight-lipped description dramatizes is the sensation of viewing perfectly logical forms like the grid, the cube, and the square, within the realm of lived experience. No longer conceptual constructs that organize the world from the mind outward in a mapping function, these abstract forms now share space with an embodied and mobile spectator who observes them from the outside; this is the source of the "contingent" nature of LeWitt's structures. From certain perspectives, the logic guiding the structures is clear; but if the spectator changes their vantage point, the stable structures shatter into incoherence.[ii]
The work of Alois Kronschlaeger revisits this intersection between conceptual structure and material form, and the often beguiling visual results of their synthesis. A recent exhibition entitled Polychromatic Contemplations, held in the summer of 2018 at the Figge Museum, displayed three rows of evenly dispersed towers composed of colored lattices and yarnwork sitting atop brickwork foundations. The grid—the basic meeting of horizontal and vertical axes—reverberated throughout the gallery, its echoes observable in the repeated intersections of painted rods; the mesh matrices that form the ground for Kronschlaeger's yarnwork designs; the varying patterns of bricks; the intersections of vertical towers with the horizontal floor; and in the regular distribution of the sculptures. All of these distinct realizations of the grid coalesced to form a "shifting landscape"—to borrow the title of another of Kronschlaeger's site-specific installations—a kaleidoscopic environment where the ideal grid is overridden and complicated by material conditions. Indeed, this recent installation formed a dialogue with LeWitt, whose Tower Maquette 91.0002 stands in the entrance plaza to the Figge, a vertical and austere reference to the grain silos that mark the horizontal Midwestern landscape.
Kronschlaeger's "Spinning Cube" series is another iteration of the artist's examination of the grid form and its complexities and mutability. Each Cube is constructed of 300 faceted rods, each with four faces. Each face of each rod is painted with one of six colors. Of the 1,200 total surfaces, therefore, each color appears 200 times. The entirety of the Cube is then placed on one of its corners, a simple change in orientation that undermines the stability of the square and its four right angles, and then set in rotation through the use of a motor. "To have [the Cube] spin, it's easier for the observer to see the multitude of colors on each side," Kronschlaeger reflects. "Seeing it on its diagonal axis enhances its viewing aspect."[iii] To impart movement to a square is a radical gesture. It was a conundrum tackled by Mondrian in his famous "Lozenge" paintings,[iv] and the color theorist and educator Josef Albers praised the "honesty" of the square over the dishonesty of the circle, precisely due to the fact that it does not move: "I have known for a long time that a circle always fools me by not telling me whether it's standing still or not. And if a circle circulates you don't see it. . . . So the square is much more honest and tells me that it is sitting on one line of the four, usually a horizontal one, as a basis."[v] Likewise, LeWitt notes the square's inertness: "Compared to any other three-dimensional form, the cube lacks any aggressive force, implies no motion, and is least emotive."[vi] If one overarching theme of Kronschlaeger's work is the optical play and distortion engendered by the experience of conceptual forms in lived space, then the Spinning Cubes exacerbate these illogical conditions by asking the Cube to do what it is uniquely unqualified to do—spin.
Understanding Kronschlaeger's Spinning Cube as solely in dialogue with North American minimal and conceptual precedents is, however, to view only one half of the equation. Kronschlaeger's work in general—and his Spinning Cubes in particular—combines this legacy with a nearly contemporary lineage, which is revealed through reference to another artist who made the Cube spin. This is the Venezuelan Jesús Rafael Soto, and the work of art referenced is his 1952 painting Rotation, in which horizontal rows of squares tumble across the pictorial surface in increasingly abstracted forms. The square and cube would become a recurring feature in Soto's mature work, as he gradually moved it into the space of lived experience in order to, in his estimation, move beyond Mondrian. Whether as a volume evoked by hanging rods, or as planar surface projected before a patterned background, the square is often under pressure in his work. Its contours flicker and become unstable. It oscillates and undulates when it should not. But the resulting optical distortions of Soto's work, rather than denoting the futility of any assumption of visual clarity (Smithson, LeWitt),[vii] are demonstrations of the flux and movement of the universe, its constant change. The same can be said of the kinetic experiments of his compatriots Alejandro Otero and Carlos Cruz-Diez, as well as the Argentinians Martha Boto and Gregorio Vardanega. While these artists deployed kinetics to myriad ends, they intersect in their interest in revealing the minutiae of lived experience, whether this is the instability of color, the physiological act of perception, or the disclosure of imperceptible forces. Their work deploys optical ambiguity and movement to disclose a world of constant change.
When seen from this perspective, Kronschlaeger's attention to color and the visual rhythm that results from the Cube's movement become platforms for examining the process of perception and the viewer's own location in time and space. As the Cube spins, a ceaseless battle unfolds between the dual elements of form (the grid) and color as each vies for the viewer's attention. At times, the lattice aligns in such a manner that it appears as a flat, two-dimensional grid, before turning again to disassemble into dense clusters of rods. Unexpected patterns arise and flutter across the surface of the sculpture. Cutting perspectives make their way through the visual noise, only to fall away again in a wash of moirés. The Cube is of an uncertain density as it expands and contracts between two and three-dimensions, its rotation and spatial amorphousness reminiscent of Boto's revolving cylinders and discs, their distortions catching in background mirrors or other reflective surfaces. If Boto finds inspiration in, as she has said, "the laws of harmony and equilibrium which govern the cosmos,"[viii] then the same can be said of Kronschlaeger. Early works, most notably Gnomon Projections and 15 Degrees Longitude East, were outdoor interventions that made cosmic phenomenon visible at a human scale, demonstrations of an interest that extends to his Spinning Cubes with their planetary rotations, closed systems of rhythms and cycles.
Equally part of this system, in addition to the patterns that surge through the sculpture, is the flickering mist of color that appears to settle around the Cube as it continues its interminable spin. If there is something potentially cosmic in the rotation of the Cube, then the chromatic effects that it generates are undeniably particular. What we see of the colors is a result of a specific optical blend that occurs at the very moment of perception. The applied color mixes as the structure rotates, appearing to throw color into the surrounding space, taking a cue from Carlos Cruz-Diez's long-running "Physichromie," series. A portmanteau of "physical" and "color," the Physichromies famously utilize strips of colored plastic, cardboard, or wood, to create regular, fin-like protrusions on the surface of a rhythmically colored background. These raised strips of material—what the artist describes as "chromatic event modules"—are one possible solution mounted to free color, long subservient to shape and form, from its material constraints. As the artist states, "The solution I found to the eternal binomial form-color was to divide the form, transforming the colored plane into a succession of color parallels placed vertically, which I called chromatic event modules. This structure allowed me to prove that color is constantly in the making, that it happens all the time."[ix] A Physichromie by Cruz-Diez might appear dark green from one angle, and bright red from another. Likewise, the color that bathes a Spinning Cube is in constant, luminous mutation.
As installed in Roldan Moderno, Kronschlaeger's Spinning Cubes may either be seen in isolation or as part of a group of four Cubes. They are displayed in a line with the first and third Cubes rotating in one direction, the second and fourth in the opposite. When viewing the sculptures down the line, Smithson's mantra resurfaces: Extreme order brings extreme disorder. The systematically applied color and the regular distribution of rods, perfectly logical in their assembly, dissolve in washes of effervescent patterns and chromatic undulations before, breaking through the chaos, brief glimpses of order where the Cubes fall into unexpected alignment come into view. The Cubes telescope back and forth between chaos and order, all the while presenting spectators with a mirror with which to reflect on the perception of space, time, and color.
When looking at a Cube as it spins, it is possible to see every possible permutation of pattern and color as the structure pulses, dissolves, resumes its structural integrity, and falls away again. In this sense it is a closed system where all possibilities are available to vision through the Cube's axial rotation. In this sense, the Cube approaches Jorge Luis Borges's conception of the Universe as described in his short text "The Library of Babel." Here, the Library is a metaphor for the Universe, insofar as it contains every text that has ever been written and will ever be written. Every possible combination of letters is found there. It is in a state of complete chaos. How can one make order from this entropic condition? One way is to conceive of the Library—the Universe—as a circle. If an eternal traveler would cross [the Library] in any direction, after centuries he would see the same volumes repeated in the same disorder (which, thus repeated, would be an order: the Order) My solitude is gladdened by this elegant hope.[x] Kronschlaeger's Spinning Cubes become Borgesian glimpses onto a Universe of chaos that resolve when the patterns are perceived and repeated. The circular movement of the Cube contains both order and disorder—the disorder becomes the order.

Chipp (Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1968), 363. Mondrian writes: "Doesburg, in his late work, tried to destroy static expression by means of a diagonal arrangement of the lines of his compositions. But through such an emphasis the feeling of physical equilibrium which is necessary for the enjoyment of a work of art is lost. The relationship with architecture and its vertical and horizontal dominants is broken. If a square picture, however, is hung diagonally, as I have frequently planned my pictures to be hung, this effect does not result. Only the borders of the canvas are on 45° angles, not the picture. The advantage of such a procedure is that longer horizontal and vertical lines may be employed in the composition." Mondrian, in other words, turned the canvas to impart a sense of movement to his compositions without sacrificing the harmony engendered by the intersections of vertical and horizontal lines in his compositions.

Man wanted in Pecos, Texas double murder arrested at El Paso border port of entry
Aaron Martinez
A man wanted in connection with a double murder last year in Pecos, Texas, was arrested at an El Paso port of entry, officials said.
Arturo Gallegos Ortiz, 48, was taken into custody by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers Wednesday morning at the international boundary line at the Ysleta Port of Entry, customs officials said.

The officers processed Gallegos without incident during which a background check confirmed that Gallegos was wanted on multiple warrants in connection with two murders in Pecos, officials said.
Officers then transferred Gallegos to the U.S. Marshals Service.
"Fugitives will sometimes flee the U.S. to avoid prosecution however CBP is always working closely with our law enforcement partners to bring these people to justice," U.S. Customs and Border Protection El Paso Director of Field Operations Hector Mancha said in a statement. "Some fugitive transfers are prearranged but other times it is the vigilance of the CBP officer that identifies a wanted subject."
According to NewsWest9 in Midland, Gallegos was wanted in connection with the Oct. 24 fatal shootings of a man and a woman.

Pecos police officers responded to a home and found the bodies of the two victims, officials said.
A Texas Department of Public Safety news release sent out in October stated that it was believed that Gallegos had fled to Mexico.

Q: Reading nested JSON data encoded as a nested string with Aeson I have this weird JSON to parse containing nested JSON ... a string. So instead of
{\"title\": \"Lord of the rings\", \"author\": {\"666\": \"Tolkien\"}\"}"

I have
{\"title\": \"Lord of the rings\", \"author\": \"{\\\"666\\\": \\\"Tolkien\\\"}\"}"

Here's my (failed) attempt to parse the nested string using decode, inside an instance of FromJSON :
{-# LANGUAGE DeriveGeneric #-}
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

module Main where

import Data.Maybe
import GHC.Generics
import Data.Aeson
import qualified Data.Map as M

type Authors = M.Map Int String

data Book = Book
  {
    title :: String,
    author :: Authors
  }
  deriving (Show, Generic)

decodeAuthors x =  fromJust (decode x :: Maybe Authors)

instance FromJSON Book where
  parseJSON = withObject "Book" $ \v -> do
    t <- v .: "title"
    a <- decodeAuthors <?> v .: "author"
    return  $ Book t a

jsonTest = "{\"title\": \"Lord of the rings\", \"author\": \"{\\\"666\\\": \\\"Tolkien\\\"}\"}"

test = decode jsonTest :: Maybe Book

Is there a way to decode the whole JSON in a single pass ? Thanks !

A: A couple problems here.
First, your use of <?> is nonsensical. I'm going to assume it's a typo, and what you actually meant was <$>.
Second, the type of decodeAuthors is ByteString -> Authors, which means its parameter is of type ByteString, which means that the expression v .: "author" must be of type Parser ByteString, which means that there must be an instance FromJSON ByteString, but such instance doesn't exists (for reasons that escape me at the moment).
What you actually want is for v .: "author" to return a Parser String (or perhaps Parser Text), and then have decodeAuthors accept a String and convert it to ByteString (using pack) before passing to decode:
import Data.ByteString.Lazy.Char8 (pack)

decodeAuthors :: String -> Authors
decodeAuthors x = fromJust (decode (pack x) :: Maybe Authors)

(also note: it's a good idea to give you declarations type signatures that you think they should have. This lets the compiler point out errors earlier)

Edit:
As @DanielWagner correctly points out, pack may garble Unicode text. If you want to handle it correctly, use Data.ByteString.Lazy.UTF8.fromString from utf8-string to do the conversion:
import Data.ByteString.Lazy.UTF8 (fromString)

decodeAuthors :: String -> Authors
decodeAuthors x = fromJust (decode (fromString x) :: Maybe Authors)

But in that case you should also be careful about the type of jsonTest: the way your code is written, its type would be ByteString, but any non-ASCII characters that may be inside would be cut off because of the way IsString works. To preserve them, you need to use the same fromString on it:
jsonTest = fromString "{\"title\": \"Lord of the rings\", \"author\": \"{\\\"666\\\": \\\"Tolkien\\\"}\"}"

Fish out of water? Iowa radio host adapts to life in New England
Oct. 23, 2018 Updated: June 18, 2019 8:55 a.m.

Leaving Iowa was undoubtedly hard, and the subsequent move east has been done in pieces this fall.
"I'm driving back out there to get more of my stuff this month and to see my youngest son who's a freshman at the University of Iowa," Schulte said. "You can say I'm moving in phases … coming out in September was phase one."
Schulte has three sons, and the middle boy has taken over as a producer at KZIA 102.9 working on his dad's old morning entertainment show.
"That made me feel a lot better about the move," Schulte said. "He didn't take my position of hosting the show but he's very much into radio like me and it's fun knowing there's still that connection to the station...
"All three of them processed it different. My oldest was very emotional, my middle was very positive, and my youngest was almost cerebral. He said to me before I left, 'Dad, you've done a lot for the community here. It's time for you to do your thing.'"
The Cedar Rapids community didn't let their longtime radio host leave without a goodbye — several of them.
"I had a going away party every week this summer, it felt like," Schulte jokes. "We had one with our friends, I had one with my family, I had another one with my work family. Different people who I worked with at the station over three decades threw parties for me at different times. It was kind of crazy and surreal to see this city come together and say goodbye. It made me very happy … it really was a great summer for me, I got to feel like I was six and half again."
One of the hardest goodbyes came without a formal celebration.
"The final five minutes on air was a challenge," he said. "It was just me and the listener during that sign off and I talked about what a privilege it was being on the radio for all that time. I wanted to give them that clarity that I had felt and thank them for sharing the journey with me up until this point in the road…
"When you do radio, you're speaking to one listener at a time," he added. "You have to feel like you're talking to one person, and I felt during that last segment I was able to say goodbye that person — that listener — one by one."
Besides his relationship with each and every listener, the former radio host said his favorite part of being behind the microphone is finding a way to hook someone into a story that might not appeal or interest them.
"The listener deserves the best and you have to have that respect for them or you'll lose them immediately," he said. "Anyone can do a show that first day but the true talent is building that relationship over time — that consistency and trust from Monday through Friday every morning, 5:30 to 9 … not everyone can do that."
Schulte feels at peace with his radio career, and he doesn't foresee himself pursuing that type of work in Connecticut.
"I won't say no to the right opportunity, obviously," he said, "but I think I'm done with the phase of my life where I'm a performer. My goals are much more aligned with helping other people get to where they need to be and seeing them through it … I know I will find something meaningful here where I can reach someone who is vulnerable and bring them confidence in what they're doing."
Schulte admits he thought he would feel more like a fish out of water — a lifelong Midwesterner living in New England for the first time. But the transition to the northeast has opened his eyes to whole new world.
"We live in Casagmo and go on walks all the time — to the fountain and back down Main Street. It's a great place to be," he said. "It's like being in a cabin on a cruise ship — the world is right outside your door.
"And the physical beauty here is ridiculous, and it's so deep-rooted culturally and historically," he added. "It's really unbelievable to an outsider just discovering it…
"From the very first time I came here, I could tell this place is very special."
As someone who's worked as a voice coach and an actor (Schulte has a Screen Actors Guild membership card), the proximity to New York City has proven tremendous opportunity for cultural exploration.
"I had been through the city before but I had never been in it like this," he said. "We went into see a Broadway show last week and it blew my mind. It was really a pinch-me moment."
'You are this person'
Although his identity has been tethered to his job at KZIA the last three decades, Schulte said he never lost touch with the young theater actor who as an undergraduate at the University of Iowa wound up retrofitting a Blue Bird bus and driving around the country to help prisoners through therapeutic theater workshops.
"I went in for an audition and next thing you know you're sleeping in a hammock in this makeshift bus traveling America going from campsite to campsite, prison to prison," he said.
"I got a lot of confidence from doing that," he added. "If you can put a clown nose on a murder, you feel like you can do anything.
Theater has always been a passion, even when he was hosting his show five times a week.
"That part of me is still there even after 29 years in radio," Schulte said.
He said that one thing he's learned from his many roles over the years, including teaching at-risk students at Metro High School in Cedar Rapids, is that it's never too late for rediscovery.
"You are this person — an actor, an educator, whatever it is you do when you're young, then you do the whole family and mortgage thing, but then when that cycle ends, or runs its course, you shouldn't be afraid to re-invent and take a chance," he said.
Educator, speaker
With a bevy of art venues at his disposal — ranging from the Ridgefield Playhouse to A Contemporary Theater (ACT) of Connecticut, Schulte is confident he will find a niche in his new environment.
The new job might not be in radio, it also may not be in theater. It could be as a teacher; it could be as a motivational or professional speaker.
"The possibilities are really endless," he said.
"All I know is this is a postcard, New England town," he added. "... It's an exciting place to live and that's because there's this very palpable creative energy that reaches into everything — at least that's been my take."
The Iowa native has been impressed with how fast things move in his new hometown.
"The speed of networking is impressive," he said. "This person knows that person and this person knows that person, and I've been blessed to connect with so many great people already. I feel like this is only the beginning. I have a lot of different avenues I can go down. Now, I just have to figure out which direction to go."
