Márk Fridvalszki: Homeless Between Yestermorrows
February 19 - April 1, 2020
Opening: February 19, 2020 6pm
Opening speech: Barnabás Zemlényi-Kovács (critic, Vrije Universiteit)
On view: 1 April, 2020
In Homeless Between Yestermorrows, Fridvalszki continues his (an)archeological quest for utopian eras, started in his exhibition series An Out of this World Event, this time penetrating all the way to the deep strata of the sixties and the seventies. Revolutionary designs of the Space Age, abstraction-appropriating album covers, avant-garde jazz improvisations, and other unearthed artifacts of "Popular Modernism" constitute uncanny collages that strive to fructify our futureless present with critical nostalgia and utopian impulses. (Barnabás Zemlényi-Kovács)

HOMELESS BETWEEN YESTERMORROWS
In her essay "Science Fiction Without the Future", Judith Berman announced the exhaustion of sci-fi as a means of training the imagination, confronting us with alternate worlds and futuristic scenarios. Most contemporary science fiction, devoid of new utopian drives, only recycles the genre's established subjects and forms, in other words, the futures of the past. In 2001, when Berman's symptomatic diagnosis was published, not only did the world of Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey seem more distant than in 1968, but 1968 itself appeared more futuristic than the present day.
Paraphrasing Slavoj Žižek, the exhibition Homeless Between Yestermorrows inverts our arrogant attempts to interrogate the meaning and relevance of the countercultural forces of '68 and '89, the heritage of experimental music from modern jazz to jungle, the sociopolitical ambitions of abstraction or the intellectual-imaginational imperatives of Modernism. Instead, the real question is: what would the rebellious youth of '68 and '89, those avant-garde artists and radical philosophers, think about us? In this case, we are not the ones who dive into the past as a means of individual escapism, but it is the past that dives ghostlike into our present. Through their eyes, we must confront our own prosaic, "post-ideological" age.
In contrast to the ever-expanding spacetime of the Sixties and Seventies, a defining experience of our ageless age is what we can call "temporal claustrophobia": a futureless prison of the present, dominated by undead paradigms of the past, from zombie neoliberalism through zombie identity politics to zombie nationalism. Yestermorrow describes this spacetime-trap, a wasteland of the "out-of-joint time" (Shakespeare), a homeless levitation somewhere between a yesterday that cannot end and a tomorrow that cannot start. Temporal homesickness, embodied in this exhibition, is thus not nostalgic for another time but rather for time itself. It is nostalgia for nostalgia as future-nostalgia or "postalgia" (Sierk Ybema) that fuelled Modernism and was characteristic of almost all counterculture throughout the twentieth century, which has suddenly become inaccessible, while once productive perspectives are blocked by a pervasive counter- or "formal nostalgia" (Fredric Jameson). If space was annihilated by time during the age of industrial capitalism, as Marx predicted, then post-industrialism brought the annihilation of time by space. According to Lars Bang Larssen, what died in contemporary culture is death itself: as there is no future that could make the past past, it recycles in retro-circles and postmodern pastiches. Without temporality, there is no anachronism.
Revolutionary designs from the Space Age, abstraction-appropriating album covers, avant-garde jazz improvisations, and other unearthed artifacts of "Popular Modernism" (Mark Fisher) in this seemingly timeless and spaceless white cube not only bring 1968 into uncanny proximity but Space Odyssey too; more precisely that half-hypermodern, half-neoclassic hotel room, in which the protagonist, space traveler David Bowman is locked by extraterrestrial agents: a sterile space, both futuristic and anachronistic, where Bowman could die and be reborn in order to set the "out-of-joint time" right again. Likewise, Fridvalszki's avant-garde desire is to "go 'back' to a time when there was still a 'to come'". With Modernism's utopian impulses and imagination-catapults, he strives to break the infinite loop of timelessness, to finally return to the future. In the age of temporaphobia, temporaphilia is our most effective weapon.

Op-Ed: Obama dodges lame-duck weakness through healthcare spending
By Edgar Wilson Feb 23, 2015 in Politics
Since the midterm victories that put both the House and Senate under GOP majorities, U.S. President Barack Obama's lame-duck status has been popularly viewed as a foregone conclusion coloring every speech and initiative he has presented in 2015.
While this kind of pessimism is always in fashion in modern politics, it misses the fact that on a variety of healthcare-related initiatives, bipartisan cooperation is already in the works.
In his 2016 budget proposal, Obama made some significant requests on behalf of scientific research, including an initiative aimed at winning the fight against cancer. The Precision Medicine Initiative, unveiled shortly after the State of the Union, is a costly, long-term new program that combines the latest genetic research, with an ongoing national program for linking up healthcare data, to finally produce a cure for cancer in its many deadly forms.
Nestled in this $215 million program was a $5 million allotment purposed for improving the interoperability and security of health data networks. This is not a challenge unique to the Precision Medicine Initiative—it is a critical aspect of an existing program, known as Meaningful Use, which is bringing Electronic Health Records (EHR) into hospitals and small health clinics across the country.
Meaningful Use has been controversial since it first became law, but the new Republican majority has shown no interest in axing the program. Rather, broad bipartisan efforts have aimed at massaging its implementation to ensure success.
This alone should quell concerns about whether Republican support for science is real or just lip-service. Bringing EHR platforms into care centers is expected to improve healthcare outcomes and reduce costs—again, popular bipartisan goals. Preserving the spirit of Meaningful Use by tweaking its application is a good sign that cooperation is both possible and probable.
The Precision Medicine Initiative builds on this very program, aimed at making personalized healthcare a standard model of future care-delivery, starting with gene-based cancer treatment. If the full value of Obama's proposed research budget doesn't make it, cuts are unlikely to come from the allocation for data security upgrades. Those are necessary with or without a new cure for cancer.
Domestic health policy and national security are connected in Obama's outline of his priorities for the remainder of his office. On the national security front—an area rife with friction throughout Obama's presidency—healthcare science is providing another platform for agreement.
Obama's strategies on everything from counter-terrorism to Russian aggression in Ukraine have highlighted partisan divides on security issues. But when the 2014 Ebola outbreak reached its peak, bi-partisan agreement sent a combination of military and public health officials to contain the disease and keep the situation from escalating.
Although the World Health Organization continues to report hundreds of new cases each week, international efforts to contain the outbreak are now focused less on containment, and more on eradicating the disease in the worst-affected countries. The international response to Ebola has clearly prevented it from reaching the worst-case scenario peaks experts warned about.
Even so, the outbreak demonstrated that global public health is, in fact, a national security concern—Obama said as much in the State of the Union (just after acknowledging the need for greater cyber security infrastructure). His point was virtually made for him when an American measles outbreak was traced to Disneyland, sending strong signs that international tourism—alongside growing anti-vaccination trends—was responsible for kicking off the infection.
Both parties recognize that fighting fires is less effective than preventing such emergencies; for its faults, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq at least demonstrate the principles (if not the results) of such an awareness.
Since international trade is unlikely to subside, security policy will have to account for the health risks that come along with a global economy. The response to the Ebola outbreak shows Congress is not totally paralyzed by ideological divides.

These actions may not immediately appear to be business building strategies. But they are - because being pro active is so much better than being re active. During this process you will be inspired and gain new insight into what makes your business work and what does not. Don't be surprised if you become more energized and creative during this process.
The important concept here is called "Fake It Until You Make It". Studies have shown that taking action in any circumstance improves the positive outcome exponentially. In other words: It works!

Protests hit Istanbul after overnight arrests of Kurdish lawmakers
Published November 5th, 2016 - 07:00 GMT
Turkish police officers detain former pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democracy Party (HDP) parliamentarian, Sebahat Tuncel (C) on November 4, 2016 during a demonstration outside Diyarbakir's courthouse. (AFP/Ilyas Akengin)
Police have fired tear gas to disperse crowds of demonstrators in Istanbul after arrests overnight of several pro-Kurdish politicians.
Fighting broke out between police and protesters in a number of cities.
Officials say 10 protesters were detained in Ankara, five in Antalya and seven in Istanbul.
Turkish authorities have arrested the leaders of the country's main pro-Kurdish opposition party.
The arrests have drawn criticism from the UN and EU, as part of a widening crackdown on dissent under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Officials say Selahattin Demirtas and Figen Yuksekdag, co-leaders of the People's Democratic Party (HDP) are in prison, having been held in overnight raids.
Ten other HDP lawmakers were also detained, although some were later released.
"I will not hesitate to be held accountable in front of a fair and impartial judiciary. There is nothing I cannot answer for," Demirtas said in a statement to the prosecutor.
But I refuse to be an actor in this judicial theatre just because it was ordered by Erdogan, whose own political past is suspicious," he continued.
Police also raided and searched the party's head office in central Ankara.
Police cars and armed vehicles had closed off the entrance to the street.
The arrest of elected members of parliament's third-largest party, along with the detention or suspension of more than 110,000 officials since a failed coup in July, may "go beyond what is permissible", according to senior human rights official Ravina Shamdasani.
Germany and Denmark have summoned Turkish diplomats over the Kurdish detentions.
The European Parliament President Martin Schulz says the actions "call into question the basis for the sustainable relationship between the EU and Turkey".
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini says she is "extremely worried" by the arrests and has called a meeting of EU national envoys in Ankara.
There is heightened concern among Western allies about the political direction of Turkey, a NATO member and a buffer between Europe and the conflicts in Syria and Iraq.
"Turkey is a nation of laws, nobody has preferential treatment before the law. What has been done is within the rule of law," Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told reporters.
"Politics cannot be a shield for committing crimes."
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavosoglu has accused EU member states of supporting the PKK.
He has dismissed the bloc's criticism as "unacceptable."

Weezer - Weezer (Deluxe Edition)
By Grant Shellen | June 1, 2004 | 12:00am
Music Reviews Weezer
Looking back on the bands dominating radio station playlists in 1993, it's not hard to understand why so many labels passed on Weezer before the four-piece eventually signed with Geffen. Electronic-based mainstays of the '80s like Depeche Mode and New Order were enjoying considerable success with their latest releases. Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots, churning out angst-laden arena rock, were busy riding the tidal wave of grunge's surging popularity. And the Spin Doctors, well, nobody is quite sure exactly what they were doing. But while each of the aforementioned bands had its own comfortable niche—the alt-rock pioneers, the angry rebels, the funky party band with the heart of gold—Weezer stuck out like an oddly-spelled thumb. As Geffen A&R rep Todd Sullivan writes in the liner notes to the reissued Weezer, "they played sloppy, they looked like normal schleps, didn't have that rock star presence, wore glasses." But as Sullivan and millions of listeners found, Weezer's songs caused the group to transcend any sort of predisposed notion of what a modern rock band should sound (or look) like.
Ten years after the Blue Album's release, it's clear Weezer has had a significant influence. (Check any fledgling alternative band's "bass player wanted" flyer and either Weezer is listed, or they're trying to play it off like they think the band is just OK while secretly burning incense at home in front of a giant "W"-shaped shrine.) While Nirvana reopened the doors to simple, unadorned, bare-bones rock, it did so with an overwhelming sense of torment and rebellion. The songs on Weezer are also unschooled, but they're less anguished and more frustrated; less revolutionary, more… geeky. And that's the charm of Weezer, isn't it? All of a sudden, uncool is miraculously, inexplicably cool. Vocalist/guitarist Rivers Cuomo's horn-rimmed glasses may have been considered dorky at the time, but some variation of them can now be found at mall LensCrafters locations the world over. His songs, dealing with loquacious girlfriends, suburban dislocation, unraveling sweaters (huh?) and more, may seem trivial compared to some other artists' "big idea" songs, but they clearly resonate with like-minded geeks across the globe, those less concerned with foreign policy than the mad crush they have on their chemistry-lab partners.
So the reissued, augmented Blue Album is a welcome treat. Not so much because of the remastered tracks from the original album—it's doubtful anyone other than audio engineers will notice a difference—but because of the added artwork and liner notes and the second disc full of b-sides, live tracks and previously unreleased recordings. And, of course, the feeling of buying a great album all over again.

Here is code for the component. I have excluded code for the playing of music (The onTap callback.)
function PlaylistDetailScreen({ route, navigation, authentication, ...props }) {
  const [songs, setSongs] = useState([])

  const { playlistID } = route.params
  const pop = () => navigation.dispatch(StackActions.pop(1))

  const getSongsOfPlaylist = async (aToken, aPlaylist, aPage, aLimit) => {
    console.log('getSongsOfPlaylist', aPage)
    const response = await authHandler.get(aToken, aPlaylist, aPage, aLimit)
    if (response) {
      console.log(response.data.items.length, 'new songs')
      console.log(response.data.total, 'Total songs')
      let remainingSongs =
        response.data.total - songs.length - response.data.items.length
      setSongs([...songs, ...response.data.items])
      setSongsToFetch(Math.min(100, remainingSongs))

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Whose last words were reputedly 'let not poor Nelly starve'?
Answer: Charles II
Whilst on his death bed, King Charles II is reputed to have said, 'Let not poor Nelly starve' to his brother. The Nelly in question was Nell Gwyn, one of his many mistresses. His brother, James II, who succeeded him paid off Nell's debts and made available further funds to ensure she did not waste away. Appropriately for this quiz, the bold Nell seemed to hold a magnetic attraction for people named Charles.
Her first lover was actor Charles Hart and later in life she had a romantic liaison with the aristocrat Charles Sackville, 6th Earl of Dorset.
2. Which of the following four celebrities could legitimately claim to be the smallest in height?
Answer: Charles Sherwood Stratton
Charles Atlas was the largest amongst the selections, at his peak he stood at 5 feet 10 inches. Charlie Chaplin was around 5 feet 5 inches whilst British comedian Charlie Drake was almost 4 inches shorter. By far the smallest in height was Charles Sherwood Stratton, better known as General Tom Thumb, who stood at 3 feet 8 inches.
In 1863 Stratton married Lavinia Warren in a wedding that would hold its own with the showbiz extravaganzas we see today.
3. Which Charles wrote the French song 'La Mer'?
Answer: Charles Trenet
Most English speakers know the Trenet composition as 'Beyond the Sea', rather than the original French 'La Mer'. Bobby Darin recorded the song in 1959 which had been somewhat altered by Jack Lawrence a few years earlier. Trenet's original lyrics concentrated on how the moods of the sea affected him, whilst Lawrence wrote of a romance between a sea lover and his land dwelling sweetheart.
4. Which speedy Charlie won gold and bronze sprint medals at the 1968 Mexico Olympics?
Answer: Charlie Greene
The 1968 Olympics in Mexico were memorable for many achievements, not least those of Charlie Greene. Amid Tommie Smith and John Carlos's black power salute, Dick Fosbury's triumphant flop and Bob Beamon's record smashing long jump, Charlie Green quietly went about his business.
He won a bronze medal in the 100 metres finishing behind Jim Hines and Lennox Miller. Charlie ran the first leg for the gold medal winning USA team in the 4x100 meters relay alongside Jim Hines, Mel Pender and Ronnie Ray Smith.
5. Which Charles was acknowledged as 'the world's most perfectly formed man'?
Answer: Charles Atlas
Born Angelo Siciliano in Italy, Charles Atlas can truly boast that not only did he transform his own life, he dramatically enhanced many other people's. In 1929 Atlas became a millionaire by selling his unique body building exercise course around the world.
The one time 98lb self confessed weakling, metamorphosed into a 5 foot 10" muscle-man weighing in at an impressive 180lb. Apologies to Charlie Dimmock who is actually a female celebrity gardener on BBC television.
6. Which historical Scottish figure is buried in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome?
Answer: Bonnie Prince Charlie
Bonnie Prince Charlie died in 1788 in Rome and was originally buried at the Cathedral of Frascati. In 1807 his body was moved to St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, where it was laid alongside his father James Francis Edward Stuart's remains.
7. Which sporting Charles almost had the English Epsom Derby horse race named after him?
Answer: Charles Bunbury
Sir Charles Bunbury the 6th Baronet of Barton, and Edward Smith Stanley the Twelfth Earl of Derby conceived the idea for the world famous Epsom Derby. The classic race could so easily have been known as the Epsom Bunbury, as the name was decided on the toss of a coin between the two gentlemen.
Although the Earl of Derby won the toss, it was Sir Charles Bunbury whose horse Diomed won the first race in 1780.
8. Which Italian born clown performed from 1939 to 1979 at the Blackpool Tower Circus?
Answer: Charlie Cairoli
Charlie Cairoli was born in Italy in 1910 to a French mother and father who were steeped in the traditions of the circus. Carletto as the young Charlie was known, followed in his father's footsteps by becoming an accomplished clown who excelled as a musical marvel.
In 1940 Charlie was interned because Britain was at war with Italy and he was Italian. He was deported to the Isle of Man for a short time but released when he managed to produce a French passport.
9. Which German born impresario founded a famous orchestra in Manchester, England in 1858?
Answer: Charles Hallé
Such eminent personalities as Sir Malcolm Sargent, Sir Thomas Beecham and Sir John Barbirolli all followed in the footsteps of Sir Charles Hallé
as conductor of the famous Hallé Orchestra. Born as Karl Halle in Hagen, Germany in 1819, Hallé moved to Manchester in 1848 and established the orchestra 10 years later. Such was the impact of Hallé's involvement in the life of the citizens of Manchester, that his funeral in 1895 brought the city to a standstill.
10. WWE wrestler Terry Funk was known by which other name?
Answer: Chainsaw Charlie
Texas born Terry's long wrestling career has seen him perform in the WCW, ECW, TNA, ROH and both the WWF and the renamed WWE. Not content with the thrills and spills of the squared circle, Terry is an accomplished actor in both film and television. His movies include: 'Paradise Alley' (1978), 'Over the Top' (1987), 'Mom, Can I Keep Her?' (1998) and 'The Ringer' (2005).
In (1991). Terry also appeared in the much acclaimed 'Quantum Leap', in the episode 'Heart of a Champion', where he played Carl Shilo a 1950s wrestler.
11. Who was the first left handed golfer to win one of the four majors?
Answer: Bob Charles
Not a first name but still a Charles. In 1963 the New Zealander Bob Charles won the British Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes. He beat American Phil Rogers in a play-off to make him the only left-handed player to win a major in the 20th century. It wasn't until 2003 that Canadian Mike Weir followed in his footsteps, when he also defeated an American Len Mattiace in a play-off in the Masters. Phil Mickelson has become the most successful left-handed golfer having won four majors between 2004 and 2010.
12. Which West Indian cricketer formed a 'lethal' bowling partnership with Wes Hall in the 1960s?
Answer: Charlie Griffith
During the sixties Griffith played 28 Test matches, taking 94 wickets in the process. In 1964 he was named as Wisden Cricketer of the Year, in spite of questions being raised about his bowling action. Not as fast a bowler as his partner Wes Hall, the pair made a lethal combination capable of intimidating the best of opponents.
13. Which clever Charles invented the pop-up toaster?
Answer: Charles P. Strite
Minneapolis-born Strite noted that much of the toast being served in the factory he worked in was burned. In 1921 he patented his revolutionary automatic toaster. Other electric toasters had been produced previously but his was the first to incorporate all the features that continue to be part of the basic design today.
His invention could heat both sides of a slice of bread, had a spring to pop up the bread and a timer that turned off the heat.
14. Which Charlie was the tenth American to walk on the Moon?
Answer: Charlie Duke
Sorry about this one but I made up the other options. In 1972 Charlie Duke along with John Young spent a record 71 hours on the Lunar surface. Duke and Young were both very humorous, and their natural fervour kept the watching earth bound millions enthralled throughout the Apollo 16 mission.
15. Who was married to Mildred Harris, Oona O'Neill and Lillita McMurray?
Answer: Charlie Chaplin
No Charlie quiz could be called proper without a mention of Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin met Mildred Harris when she was 16 and the couple were married soon after, in 1918. Unfortunately they divorced in 1920 following the tragic death of their baby Norman. Charlie married for the second time in 1924 to Lillita McMurray, who at 16 was 20 years his junior. Again the marriage only lasted two years and two children later they were divorced. Third time lucky saw Charlie and Paulette Goddard stay together for 10 years before they broke up in 1942. Fourth time did prove lucky for the relentless bridegroom when in 1943 he married Oona O'Neill.
At 54 Charlie was three times the age of his 18 year old bride, but this time the nuptials did last until death us do part in 1977, when Chaplin died. By that time Charlie and Oona had produced eight children of their own.

Smashball is a fast-paced, ultra violent first-person sports shooter. Two teams use super-human maneuvers, a real-physics grappling hook and high-powered weaponry to try to get a single ball into their opponent's goal. On the league web site, players can see match stats, create teams and participate in our cash tournaments!


Remember to keep up with your exercise routine. Just because you were out and about the night before is no excuse to sleep in and forego your workout. Staying active will help you feel better. I promise! My favourite hangover cure used to be a run on the beach and swim in the surf. Great way to sweat out those toxins! Try and exercise outside as much as possible and take advantage of the bright sunny summer days. If a run is too much, how about calling a friend who was out with you the night before and take a brisk walk around the park.
As much as Christmas is a lovely time to catch up with all your friends and family, remember to take some time out for YOU. Take a few moments in the day to practice meditation or stress-relieving breathing techniques. We're conditioned to think that Christmas is all about giving, so how about taking the time to give to yourself as well this year. Don't get stressed out over Christmas present buying. Plan your shopping in advance, write a list of all the presents you need to buy and avoid the frenzied crowds.
Remember to make healthy choices this Christmas. It's easy to get carried away with all the puddings and chocolates and shortbread and party food, but before over-indulging remember how it's going to make you feel the next day. Remember to eat plenty of vegetables, fruits and whole grains. If you do like enjoying Christmas treats, limit your portion size.
Drink plenty of water to keep you hydrated. If you do drink alcohol, remember to alternate every alcoholic drink with a glass of water and please don't drink on an empty stomach. Best to have a healthy snack before you go to the party as it will also prevent you from snacking on unhealthy party food.
Get plenty of rest and aim for 7-8 hours of sleep every night. It's not going to make or break your life if you don't go to EVERY party. How about having a night in? Create a relaxing spa experience at home, snuggle up on the couch with a good book or DVD and get to bed early.
And if all that fails, please don't beat yourself up about it. Take each day as it comes and strive for a healthier day the next day.

Message from the Dean You belong here!
In the College of Public Health (CPH), we train health champions.
Champion has different meanings. It can mean someone who is a victor, the winner. It can also mean someone who fights for a cause or works on behalf of others. So, what does a health champion mean here?
In the College of Public Health, health champion is a verb, an action word. We train people who fight, work, strive, struggle, persist for the health of others. Here, our health champions fight for prevention – our work is needed to keep communities from harm, from disease, from injury.
Health champions solve problems. Public health problems are complex, involving perceptions, stigma, and behaviors. They include a person's history, what has happened to them in their lives. Public health problems include chemistry, biologic mechanisms, and math. It matters where a person lives, where they grew up, who influences them and how they first learned about health.
Our work in public health never occurs in isolation – this is a field where you cannot do it alone. Public health is team science. Our approach to solving problems is made better because we work together.
Our community comprises many different backgrounds and disciplines. On campus, our College has some of the highest percentages of first-generation college enrollees, underrepresented minorities, and learners from Appalachia. We also have scholar-athletes, dual degree-seekers, and non-traditional students.
Students who find their home in the College of Public Health tell us they discover a sense of place within our programs. It's not because of our classrooms, building, or even curriculum. It is our people and the relationships that form as we work for the health of others, together, as a community.
The people of our College come to public health from many pathways – our training is often as diverse as our people. Each one of us belongs here. We belong here because we share a commitment to making a difference. We belong here because we believe that the health of others deserves a champion. We belong here because we know that prevention is possible. You belong here, too.
On behalf of the faculty and staff of the College, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the UK College of Public Health.

Katie Price confirms she is still with Carl Woods after 'hacker' claimed the couple split
Katie Price has confirmed her relationship with Carl Woods is still going strong after a hacker told fans they split on her social media.
The former glamour model told fans her TikTok account had been hacked, after it replied to a fan's comment confirming her romance with Carl was over. Commenting under a video Katie posted of her son Harvey in a van, a follower said: "you still with Karl" [sic], Katie simply responded with: "No".
Their romance was recently hit with speculation after Katie quit social media during the couple's trip to Thailand. Katie, 44, has now put out another statement on social media stating: "My account was hacked! I want to confirm I'm still with my fiancé Carl Woods!"
Fans rushed to the comments of the video to share support for the mother of five after the news broke of the alleged split. One read: "Sorry to hear that hun x," while another user wrote: "wait, I thought he did an insta live the other day with you in? So confused. Hope you're ok either way x".
The couple first met at a swanky restaurant in Essex two years ago, and were engaged after 10 months together but their relationship has been through a series of ups and downs since then. However, despite the rumours they are putting on a united front with talks of their wedding plans and hopes for a child together.

Earlier this week, it was reported the couple were "stronger than ever" as Katie and Carl were planning a dream wedding abroad. A source told OK!: "Katie and Carl are in a really good place despite what people might think. The pair are stronger than ever and a wedding is most definitely on the cards – it could be happening a lot sooner than expected."
The latest back and forth comes not long after Carl took to social media to post an angry video hitting out at claims of a break-up. In a video at Katie's home - and with the star in the background - Carl told his followers: "All of you are full of s**t. Look here she is, I'm still at the f**king house.
"Why don't you all just f**k off? Because do you want to know the truth? I'm the best f**king fella she's ever had. And I'm the one that suffers the s**t, no one else, so all this "He's a bad person," f**k off everyone because you're full of s**t, because I'm on the front line, I suffer the s**t and I'm the one that helps her. No one else.
Katie Price and Carl Woods are 'stronger than ever' despite fresh split rumours (Instagram/Katie Price)
"None of you, none of you that write this bulls**t actually know the truth. None of you knows what goes on. I support this woman through everything. I'm the one that gets the flack, no one else. So no, we haven't broke up, I'm still at her house s f**k off with your bulls**t because you know nothing and you pretend."
Carl continued: "I'm tired, I'm absolutely tired of being tarnished to be this bad person – and yes I am ranting, because you know what? I've suffered months and months and months with it... 'Oh she's unhappy with him, she's unhappy with him'. I'm the one that's been made a mug of all the time, no one else, and I suffer and I help so f**k off."

Casting Director Ken Lazer called me in yesterday to read for an industrial video for a drug called Fragmin. My preparation involved doing my research by calling up my cousin, Anna, who is studying to be a physician's assistant, and also memorizing some very technical copy--"heparin-induced abnormally low platelet levels" anyone?
I did two takes, one with the teleprompter and one without. The biggest challenge was making it conversational while trying to get out two paragraphs of difficult medical-related copy. I now see the merit of my friend, Virginia's advice to "uber-memorize" everything. Whether I got the part or not, I definitely learned a lot!

Satellite SAR Measurement Techniques Developed by JPL and Team Detects Subtle Structural Changes
Scientists, led by Pietro Milillo of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, have developed a new technique for analyzing satellite data that can reveal subtle structural changes that may indicate a bridge is deteriorating — changes so subtle that they are not visible to the naked eye.
A satellite view of the Morandi Bridge in Genoa, Italy, prior to its August 2018 collapse. The numbers identify key bridge components. Numbers 4 through 8 correspond to the bridge's V-shaped piers (from West to East). Numbers 9 through 11 correspond to three independent balance systems on the bridge. In the annotated version, the black arrows identify areas of change based on data from the Cosmo-SkyMed satellite constellation.
In August 2018, the Morandi Bridge, near Genoa, Italy, collapsed, killing dozens of people. A team of scientists from NASA, the University of Bath in England and the Italian Space Agency used synthetic aperture radar (SAR) measurements from several different satellites and reference points to map relative displacement —- or structural changes to the bridge - from 2003 to the time of its collapse. Using a new process, they were able to detect millimeter-size changes to the bridge over time that would not have been detected by the standard processing approaches applied to spaceborne synthetic aperture radar observations.
They found that the deck next to the bridge's collapsed pier showed subtle signs of change as early as 2015; they also noted that several parts of the bridge showed a more significant increase in structural changes between March 2017 and August 2018 - a hidden indication that at least part of the bridge may have become structurally unsound.
The technique is limited to areas that have consistent synthetic aperture radar-equipped satellite coverage. In early 2022, NASA and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) plan to launch the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR), which will greatly expand that coverage. Designed to enable scientists to observe and measure global environmental changes and hazards, NISAR will collect imagery that will enable engineers and scientists to investigate the stability of structures like bridges nearly anywhere in the world about every week.
The majority of the SAR data for this study was acquired by the Italian Space Agency's COSMO-Skymed constellation and the European Space Agency's (ESA's) Sentinel-1a and -1b satellites. The research team also used historical data sets from ESA's Envisat satellite. The study was recently published in the journal Remote Sensing.
Pietro Milillo said this is about developing a new technique that can assist in the characterization of the health of bridges and other infrastructure — such couldn't have forecasted this particular collapse because standard assessment techniques available at the time couldn't detect what can be seen now. However, going forward, this technique, combined with techniques already in use, has the potential to do a lot of good.

In Trees That Kill, you are a tree monster that can phase between tree and mobile forms. The goal is to stay alive and collect as many points as possible by either collecting golden orbs or using your psionic blast to obliterate your enemies and take theirs. Supports LAN based multiplayer for 2-8 players.
Matchmaking is automatic. The first person in game will act as host to those that come after.
Wow! This looks awesome. Could be real fun playin 8 players. Too bad I dont have anyone to play with at the moment, but I will definitely try this one later with someone!
This game looks and feels great - unfortunately I sat alone hosting a game for quite a while.
Perhaps you could organise a time when you'll be in a game so that we can get a multiplayer session!
Very cool mood to this game, and loved how you could "hide" as a tree. Graphics were pretty nice too (in a minimalist way). Some reason to *not* be a tree (i.e., lumberjacks) might make the game more tense.
Would like to play with more people !
- Nice work! I just tried playing for multiplayer with the guy who sits next to me and it worked with out issues.
- Lighting looks pretty sweet when you get near one of those globes.
- Music was nice and ambient.
- Running and jumping feels good.
- Actual gameplay needs some work, but is functional. I didn't get to play for very long though.

World's First 3D Printed Volumetric Circuit Emerges from University of Texas El Paso Lab
October 25, 2018 by Clare Scott 3D Design3D Printing
A great many discoveries have been made in the lab of Raymond C. Rumpf, PhD, the Schellenger Professor in Electrical Research in The University of Texas at El Paso's College of Engineering. Dr. Rumpf leads the EM Lab, which is dedicated to the research and development of advanced concepts in electromagnetics and photonics technologies enabled by 3D printing. The latest advancement made by the lab is an exciting one – earlier this year, the researchers completed the first true three-dimensional volumetric circuit using a fully automated process. According to Dr. Rumpf, the breakthrough may change the way that electrical products are designed and manufactured.
"This is a very significant step and potentially disruptive achievement," Dr. Rumpf said. "There are many other large research groups that have been chasing this. It's what everybody in this field is working toward and talking about, yet nobody has yet achieved it. It's sort of the holy grail for 3-D printed circuits, and it was accomplished here at UTEP."
A three-dimensional circuit can be made smaller, lighter and more efficient than other circuits, and 3D printing allows them to be manufactured into arbitrary form factors that can be integrated into any object or surface. Years of research went into the idea, according to Dr. Rumpf.
"The last three years were spent developing futuristic CAD (computer-aided design) tools, to produce 3-D/volumetric circuits," he said. "These tools do not exist anywhere else."
(L to R) Gilbert Carranza, Raymond C. Rumpf, and Cesar Valle
Rumpf worked with fellow EM Lab researchers Gilbert Carranza, Ubaldo Robles, and Cesar Valle. Carranza, a doctoral student, used an open source CAD software to integrate his custom functions that allowed the lab to design true 3D circuits.
"I built a custom tool that allows us to place electric components in any position and in any orientation," Carranza said. "We can route the electrical interconnects throughout all three dimensions following smooth paths."
He worked on the first version of the software for a year.
"We couldn't go anywhere beyond that," he said. "We didn't have the necessary tool to actually translate my design into something that could be read by our 3-D printer."
Robles and Valle, also doctoral students, were able to help. Earlier in the summer, Robles completed an interface that could convert the circuit design into code that the 3D printer could use to print the circuit in one step. Valle and Carranza then fine-tuned the process and used it to build the first 3D volumetric circuit.
"Getting the CAD, code generator, and 3-D printer to play along well together proved the most difficult step," Valle said. "Typically, when you make a circuit, it's two steps. You start with a thin sheet of plastic. On top of that, you form metal traces, then put electrical components onto that. What our tool does that is unique is it combines these processes, and it does it in three dimensions with complete design freedom. We are now able to load 3-D files, hit 'run' and out comes the part. Literally 'File,' 'Print.'"
The applications for the technology are many. Because circuits can now be built into any surface or shape, electronics can be built into anything without any added weight or bulk.
"We can make circuits in any form or fashion," Rumpf said. "You could put circuits in munitions, in eyeglasses, in shoes, and even in coffee mugs. You can be at a restaurant drinking coffee and, when the liquid gets down to a certain level the server gets notified before you have to say anything. It's about making electronics ubiquitous in many different things."
He believes that this will open the door for small businesses to become electronics manufacturers, just by purchasing a 3D printer.
"In the future, I don't think you will see places, such as major electronics manufacturing companies, churning out billions of things and dominating the market nearly as often," Rumpf said. "Instead, you may have thousands of small businesses in the U.S. churning out thousands of products, both mass-produced and customized. Our 3-D circuit technology may be the first step to change the paradigm of circuit manufacturing. And it may enable us to exploit and incorporate new physics in traditional planar (2-D) circuitry."

Australia's Palestinian state push is Israel's latest challenge in English-speaking world
By Sean Savage

(December 15, 2017 / JNS) By Sean/Savage/JNS.org
A push for Palestinian statehood recognition within an Australian political party mirrors efforts by left-wing activists in other English-speaking countries to take a harder line against Israel.
The New South Wales (NSW) branch of Australia's Labor party voted July 30 to recognize the state of "Palestine." The Palestinian statehood motion was affirmed by NSW Labor leaders, led by former Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr, who called the move a "historic shift" and urged the broader Australian Labor party to adopt the position.
"As the oldest, the greatest, the biggest state branch we can't afford to be stranded in history," Carr said. "It is time now for another historic shift in Labor Party foreign policy. We must balance our just recognition of Israel with the equally just recognition of Palestine."
The Israeli government has long opposed unilateral or third-party moves to recognize a Palestinian state, preferring to leave the matter to direct Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. The NSW Labor vote in Australia comes amid similar opposition to Israeli interests among far-left elements in America's Democratic party and the U.K.'s Labour party, whose leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has battled accusations of anti-Semitism. Australia's Pacific island neighbor, New Zealand, last year co-sponsored a United Nations Security Council resolution that condemned Israel's settlement policy and described eastern Jerusalem's Jewish holy sites as "occupied Palestinian territory."
Outside the English-speaking world, China is promoting a four-point plan to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and establish an independent Palestinian state.
The motion passed by Australia's NSW Labor included a clause about the right of both Israelis and Palestinians to live in states with "secure and recognized" boundaries.
Jeremy Jones, director of international affairs for the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC), said that while international affairs are the purview of the broader Australian Labor party rather than the NSW branch, grassroots supporters of the Palestinian statehood motion are hoping to gain momentum on the issue ahead of Labor's national conference next year.
"The NSW branch, and other state and territory party units, have adopted resolutions which recommend unilateral recognition of 'Palestine' in recent years, which is a change from previous opposition to actions seen to preempt the outcome of negotiations between the parties," Jones told JNS.org.
Despite having the largest number of seats in Australia's House of Representatives, Labor has served as the country's opposition party since 2013. The ruling center-right Liberal party, headed by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, has not indicated a change in its support for a negotiated two-state solution.
Factors contributing to NSW Labor's Palestinian statehood push include "the personal obsession of Bob Carr, the increasing membership within the party of people presumed to be anti-Israel, a belief in some quarters this policy will endear the party to Muslim Australians and the unpopularity of [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu amongst many centrist Labor activists," Jones said.
Jones added that there is "a solid core of anti-Israel activists, mainly in the party's left faction, who push for changes of Labor support for Israel as well as a popular perception of Palestinians as victims who should be supported in any way possible by anyone who supports 'social justice.'"
Labor's internal debate on the Palestinian issue
Following the NSW motion, Australian opposition leader Bill Shorten, head of the Labor party, reiterated his support for the party's long-held support for a two-state solution.
"There's two issues, one is the legitimate aspirations, and I stress legitimate aspirations of Palestinians to have their own state and I do support that, but also the legitimate aspirations of the people of Israel to live in secure borders," he said, Australia's ABC News reported.
"If you support a two-state solution, ultimately that includes recognition of Palestine," Shorten added.
Earlier this year, Netanyahu made the first-ever trip to Australia by a sitting Israeli prime minister. During the visit, Netanyahu met with Shorten, who had been under internal party pressure at the time to raise the issue of recognizing Palestinian statehood with the Israeli leader. Yet in the meeting, there was no reported mention of a Palestinian statehood push, though Shorten did express general support for the concept.
"We want to see Israel safe and secure of its borders. We support the rights of the Palestinian people to have their own state," Shorten said after the meeting, adding that "[Israeli] settlements and their expansion are a roadblock to peace, that's damaging to the peace process," The Associated Press reported.
Jewish communal reaction
In an op-ed published in The Australian, Palestinian envoy to Australia Izzat Abdulhadi argued that unilateral recognition of "Palestine" would "solidify Australia's reputation as a good international citizen and increase its soft power by aligning its position with that of international law, the U.N. and the vast majority of the international community."
Australia's mainstream Jewish and pro-Israel organizations, meanwhile, argue that unilateral Palestinian statehood recognition would be counter-productive.
The Executive Council of Australian Jewry said that if acted upon, NSW Labor's measure "would open the door to a grave weakening of Australia's traditional bipartisan consensus in favor of, and the [Australian Labor party's] commitment to, a just and peaceful resolution of the conflict."
Similarly, AIJAC said that such motions "are problematic and unhelpful to advancing a two-state Israeli-Palestinian peace."
In his op-ed, Abdulhadi cited a poll by Roy Morgan, a leading Australian market research company, which found that 73 percent of Australians support recognizing Palestinian statehood.
Yet Jones said it is difficult to gauge the views of the Australian public on the issue, since poll questions have been misleading and framed in a way that leads to support for Palestinians' "right" to a state.
"Anecdotal evidence suggests that most Australians, including most Jewish Australians, are attracted to the concept of an Israeli and Palestinian state, coexisting peacefully," Jones said, adding that "serious policymakers" within Australia's ruling and opposition parties do not believe unilateral recognition of a Palestinian entity "which does not satisfy the criteria of statehood" would contribute to Australians' desired vision for a two-state solution.

DEEP FOUNDATIONS
Terra Engineering Changing Ownership
By	TERRA Social
Terra Engineering and Construction Corp., of Madison, says it will transfer 25% ownership of the company to its non-union employees through an employee stock ownership plan.
Terra specializes in earth retention systems, energy pipelines, utilities, landfill gas systems and watercourse projects, among other contracting services.
President and CEO Scott Zimmerman said the company will transition from family ownership to employee ownership to reward employees for their hard work in building the 45-year-old business.
The 90-employee company, with offices in Madison and Milwaukee, has grown from a small operation started by Gary Zimmerman, Sr., in 1972, to a $40 million enterprise run by his sons Scott and Gary Zimmerman.
"This is the legacy Gary and I want to give to our community, our employees and our industry," Scott Zimmerman said.
Union employees are not included in the ownership change but have a pension that will not change.
The Zimmermans, who are planning for their retirement, also announced a succession plan that will include the promotion of two executives, Tony Arts and Donna Kopp. Both will have an ownership stake in the company.
Arts, an engineer, takes the new position of executive vice president. He will oversee engineering, estimating, and will be responsible for the vision and direction of the company.
Gary Zimmerman, a 38-year veteran of the company, will move from vice president to chief operations officer. Kopp will begin a new role as chief financial officer.
Two other changes also are taking place. Chris Steinke will be operations manager, while Mark Rippe moves from safety director to a new position of director of risk management.
