An artist who created a fictional queer family history. An artist best known for rendering soup cans. An artist who works with bits of screen and guitar strings. They're all part of spring exhibitions in metro Phoenix, which invite reflection on everything from the commodification of nature to the cult of celebrity. Here are eight art shows not to miss.

"Chamber Music: A Mostly Silent Installation" Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum Now through April 26
A sophisticated yet whimsical marriage of light and line infuse the North Gallery at Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum, where Diane Gilbert's "Chamber Music: A Mostly Silent Installation" lures gallery goers along a curved path cradled by shapes created with conjoined guitar strings and small squares of painted screen. Ethereal sculptures hang suspended from the ceiling, casting intricate shadows on walls and floor. Several small pieces placed atop pillars near the gallery entrance demonstrate Gilbert's facility for using identical materials to create works with a far different feel.

"SouthwestNET: Postcommodity" Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art Now through April 26
It all seems idyllic enough as gallery goers view video projections of pastoral scenes filled with benign landscapes forming part of a 2011 work titled Promoting a More Just, Verdant and Harmonious Resolution -- which was created by the transdisciplinary American Indian arts collective Postcommodity (comprised of Raven Chacon, Cristóbal Martinez, Kade L. Twist, and Nathan Young). But there's a catch. While exploring the installation, gallery goers trigger explosions of sound and vibration. Like a second Postcommodity installation at SMoCA, which is titled Pollination (2015), it's meant to question common national narratives and the commodification of nature, history, and culture.

"Unfixed: New Painting" ASU Art Museum Now through June 6
It's easy to ponder whether painting might become passé during the digital age, a time that affords us access to so many additional forms of visual expression and communication. Leonardo da Vinci might have loved having an iPad, but we're pretty sure he'd have continued using pencils and paintbrushes even if he'd had such modern digital tools back in the day. Still, it's a question worth exploring. This exhibition features attempts by artists Katherine Bernhardt, Hugh Scott Douglas, Jeff Elrod, Daniel Lefcourt. Eddie Peake, Avery Singer, Josh Smith, and Brad Troemel to unfix historical notions of what a painting should be. Their works, which range from abstractions inspired by street art and popular culture to computer-generated algorithms printed on canvas, blend traditional and new materials as well as processes -- fostering reflection about both the nature of painting and its relevance for contemporary culture.

"Andy Warhol: Portraits" Phoenix Art Museum Now through June 21
For most folks, American artist Andy Warhol (1928-1987) is that guy who painted all those Campbell's soup cans, or had that outrageous hair style that made the ever-mussed Albert Einstein seem perfectly coiffed by comparison. But there's much more to Warhol's work, which includes portraits of everyone from Hans Christian Andersen to Sylvester Stallone. More than 200 portraits drawn or painted by Warhol from the 1940s to the 1980s are featured in this exhibition, which was organized by The Andy Warhol Museum and culled from its own collection. Family photos and Polaroid pictures of the artist in drag are also included. We're keen on considering how Warhol's work informed the genesis of today's cult of celebrity and selfie-obsessed society. Find more information on the Phoenix Art Museum website.
Polka Dots by Kris Sanford is featured in "Through the Lens of Desire" opening in March at Tilt Gallery.

"Through the Lens of Desire" Tilt Gallery Now through March 28
Continuing her "Cropped" series, artist Kris Sanford explores issues of identity, family and culture by using family photographs and those of anonymous strangers. Being young and queer in a family devoid of couples who mirrored her own intimate relationships, the artist set about imagining such couples and creating a fictional queer past starting with her grandmother's old family snapshots. She culled photos showing men together, and photos showing women together -- paying close attention to the ways their bodies stood apart or came together while imprinting her own longings and life experiences onto the subject pictured in these photos. Find more information on the Tilt Gallery website.

"Light Sensitive" Art Intersection Now through April 18
Long before phones starting doubling as cameras, there were handmade images created using traditional photographic print making processes like those featured in this exhibition: c-prints, platinum/palladium, cyanotype, gelatin silver, gum bichromate, and wet plate collodion tintype. We're intrigued by the prospect of seeing photographs that required more than pushing a simple button. Exhibition juror Robert Hirsch is an artist, author, and curator. His work has been exhibited in more than 200 shows, and his books cover topics including the history of handmade photography, a social history of photography, and digital photography. Find more information on the Shemer Art Center website.
Works created by artists represented by Lisa Sette Gallery, which moved last year from Scottsdale to Phoenix.
Lisa Sette Gallery
"Lisa Sette Gallery: 30 Year Anniversary" Lisa Sette Gallery Now through March 28
We're eager to see how Sette's anniversary exhibition celebrates three decades of diverse works within just a brief two-week period. We're expecting something that delivers a powerful dose of nostalgia married with excitement about future potentialities within the heart of the metro Phoenix arts scene. Artists represented by Lisa Sette Gallery include James Turrell, best loved for his Skyspace installations, and William Wegman, renowned for his photographs and prints of Weimaraner dogs. Sette moved last year from her downtown Scottsdale gallery space to midtown Phoenix. Works we've enjoyed at Lisa Sette Gallery in recent years include Angela Ellsworth Seer Bonnets made with pearl corsage pins, a floor-length tunic by Vestido Semillas III made with bronze sunflower seeds, and Mayme Kratz works made with resin and natural materials such as grass. It'll be a treat to see what she assembles for this greatest hits take on life in gallery land. Find more information on the Lisa Sette Gallery website.
Work by Aimee Leon (detail), the juror for Shemer Art Center's "Force of Nature" exhibition opening in May.

"Force of Nature" Shemer Art Center May 7 through June 18
The call for works is still open, but we're expecting good things for this exhibition -- which will likely include works by artists who use nature as their media, works featuring nature as the subject matter, and works that address ecological or environmental issues. Artists are encouraged to submit both indoor and outdoor works. The exhibition will be juried by Aimee Leon, who holds an MFA in Intermedia and MA in Interdisciplinary Studies from Arizona State University. Leon's work incorporates natural materials (think wool and beeswax), expended industrial fare, and performativity. Her process includes traveling to isolated farm regions in different countries, where she explores textiles, natural food production, and non-traditional commodity systems.

How the Chinese Communist Party sees organized religion
Jonathan_Densford/Shutterstock
Washington D.C., Oct 18, 2021 / 15:01 pm
The Chinese Communist Party is targeting organized religion as a threat – even seeking to "change" or "transform" it into a loyal party apparatus, a panel of foreign policy experts said on Monday.
The party, which "historically managed religion" in China, is now taking a much harsher approach and "trying to change it or destroy it," said Nury Turkel, vice-chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, at a panel event of the Hudson Institute on Monday. Turkel, a Uyghur-American human rights advocate, was born in a re-education camp in China.
To the party, any organized religion "is perceived as a threat," Turkel said, adding that the party is trying to "create a new type of religion." Panel members noted that Chinese president Xi Jinping called for the "sinicization of religion" in a 2016 speech, warning that his party is actively seeking to change religious practice to promote its socialist interests.
The panel referenced developments such as the mass internment of mainly-Muslim Uyghurs in the country's northwest province of Xinjiang, as well as allegations of forced organ harvesting of ethnic and religious minorities, including Falun Gong practitioners, Uyghurs, Tibetans, Muslims, and Christians.
The United States and other countries must pay attention to what the Chinese Communist Party is saying about Xinjiang, Turkel emphasized, citing remarks by President Xi Jinping to "show absolutely no mercy" to the Uyghurs. The Xinjiang Communist party secretary Chen Quanguo has given orders to "round up everyone who should be rounded up," Turkel noted.
According to the U.S. State Department, more than one million Uyghurs and other predominantly Muslim ethnic minorities have been put in internment camps, while two million others are subject to forced daytime "re-education" training.
While the party is not detaining mass amounts of Christians as it is the Uyghurs, many Christian leaders have been detained without trial for not following the party's demands, said Nina Shea, senior fellow and director of the Center for Religious Freedom at the Hudson Institute.
Cardinal Joseph Zen, the retired Bishop of Hong Kong, has compared the erosion of religious freedom to "being put in a little bird cage," she noted.
Xiaoxu Sean Li, communications director for the Falun Dafa Association, noted the June 2021 statement of 12 United Nations human rights experts that there was "credible evidence" that religious and ethnic minorities in China were targeted for organ harvesting. Medical data of detainees is being collected for a large database that identifies potential donor matches . Detainees are then killed and their organs are harvested and shipped, he said.
Robert Destro, a law professor at The Catholic University of America and former Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor in the Trump administration, claimed that the party is now carrying out everywhere what it has been doing in Tibet for years. The party has extracted natural resources from the region and set up surveillance systems while stamping out religious practice, he said.
"Basically, they will sell, they will monetize everything from the natural resources to your liver," he said of the party, "and anything that gets in the way – particularly religion."
Shea also noted concerns that Catholic leaders could be vulnerable to blackmail or surveillance by the Chinese Communist Party.
"The Vatican has technology that can be easily penetrated, and has been," she said. In 2020, just months before the Vatican-China deal was renewed, researchers at a U.S.-based cybersecurity company reported that Vatican computer networks and the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong were targeted by Chinese state-sponsored hackers.
Former cardinal Theodore McCarrick, laicized in 2019 after the Vatican determined he was guilty of abusing minors and vulnerable adults, traveled to China eight times and stayed in a seminary of the government-sanctioned church. "There is a lot of blackmail potential there," Shea said.
Panel members also expressed concern over the agreement between the Vatican and China on the ordination of bishops, initially reached in 2018 and renewed for another two-year period in 2020.
Shea mentioned the case of Bishop Vincent Zhan Silu of Mindong/Funing in Fujian Province, who was consecrated under the deal after Bishop Joseph Guo Xijin, of the underground Catholic Church stepped aside. Zhan reportedly led a delegation of 33 priests to participate in a "formation course" at the Central Institute of Socialism, in collaboration with the United Front of Fujian Province, where they listened to presentations on the "sinicization of religion."
"To carry out the sinicization of religion with determination, we will continue to follow a path that conforms to socialist society," Zhan said in August 2019.

Saudi Arabia and Iran are the two largest nations in the Middle East. These two countries have not only blatantly refused to uphold human rights norms in their countries but are also responsible for the much of the unrest in their neighboring countries
Both Saudi Arabia and Iran have been ruled by tyrants for centuries and if nothing is done to promote democracy and democratic norms in these countries, the problems in the region will only worsen, as their new generation of autocrats-Muhammad bin Salman and Mojtaba Khamenei, take control over their respective nations.
Muhammad bin Salman, colloquially known as MBS, who is the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia is currently serving as the country's deputy prime minister, chairman of the Council for Economic and Development Affairs, chairman of the Council of Political and Security Affairs, and minister of defense. He has been described as the power behind the throne of his father, King Salman. He was appointed crown prince in June 2017 following King Salman's decision to remove Muhammad bin Nayef from all positions, making Muhammed bin Salman heir-designated to the throne.
Mojtaba Khamenei, is the son of Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran. He has been actively helping his father with political affairs for quite some time. His leadership in quite a few war operations between Iran and Iraq in the '80s is well known. He also reportedly took control of the Basij militia that was used to suppress the protests over the 2009 election in Iran, also known as Green Movement. He has been rumored to be the heir to take the reins from his father, Ali Khamenei.
In the west, democracy is the main pillars of power, while in the almost all countries of the Middle East, power belongs to those with power and it is passed down from generation to generation. These two are no exceptions and are being trained to take over the reins when the time comes.
Why MBS and Moitaba could prove to be a threat
The western press has been mostly positive about MBS. He is known to be the power behind his father's throne. He is also known to be the man behind the human right reforms in the country. MBS put through the regulations restricting the powers of the religious police, the removal of the ban on female drivers in June 2018, and the introduction of laws that have consequently led to the weakening of the male guardianship system. In addition, Saudi Arabia has seen quite a few cultural developments under including the first Saudi public concerts by woman singer, the first Saudi sports stadium to admit women and most importantly an increased presence of women in the workforce.
MBS has promoted tourism by allowing foreigners to apply for a Saudi Arabian tourist visa online. The e-visa program allows anyone wanting to visit Saudi Arabia for various reasons possible. His Vision 2030 program claims that he wants to diversify the Saudi economy through further investments in non-oil sectors like tourism and technology.
Although MBS has made some very positive contributions, we should not forget that in 2017 he launched a crackdown against his critics and imprisoned more than 20 influential clerics and intellectuals. In November 2017, more than 200 prominent businessmen, former officials, and princes were detained at the Ritz-Carlton and other luxury hotels in Riyadh.
Saudi authorities have claimed that the crackdown was to address corruption, but human rights groups say that arrests were made to reclaim assets for the kingdom. There have been several more black stains in this reformist's, leadership including the humanitarian crisis in Yemen and the murder of columnist Jamal Khashoggi to name a few.
His rise to power has been violent and bloody, so, the picture that the Saudi government is painting of him-- as a modern more liberal leader and reformist, is one that should be taken with a grain of salt. Many critics also believe that all the liberal changes he has made have been done to make the international community believe that he is the kind of leader the country needs.
Similarly in Iran, Mojtaba has ordered the new Chief Justice of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, to act inexcusably against systematic corruption in Iran.
The Iranian government has arrested many businessmen, people with influence and he has allowed the broadcast of their court sessions to be televised. Though this looks like a genuine effort to lessen corruption in the country, in reality, it appears Mojtaba is secretly works on centralizing power and bringing all underground operations under his control.
Mojtaba has ordered shootings of Iranians attending the 2009 election rallies. He has killed and tortured his people with the use of his intelligence agency. He has killed youngsters on the streets for asking "where is my vote".
Relationship with US and Russia
When it comes to building international ties, MBS and Mojtaba, are going in two different directions. After his coronation as crown prince, MBS traveled to the U.S. to strengthen his ties with the country. During his trip to the U.S, he also signed trade deals with the American government. Saudi Arabia is America's No. 1 buyer of arms and ammunitions. Between 2013 and 2017, Riyadh was responsible for over 18 percent of total U.S. arms sales or about $9 billion, according to a report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
On the other hand, Mojtaba has joined hands with Russia's Vladimir Putin. Iran is interested in purchasing up to $10 billion in military hardware from Russia, according to TASS news agency. There are also numerous reports of close relations between Mojtaba and Putin. All the members of the IRGC intelligence organization, are educated in Russia.
Whether it is MBS or Mojtaba, there are red flags that should not be ignored. The international community needs to keep a close eye on both these emerging tyrants in the Middle East. Until they prove to be the reformists they are portraying to be, it is important to act with caution and closely monitor the situation inside their countries.

A dozen new vans have been announced as competitors for the coveted International Van of the Year Award for 2015.
They include models from Ford, Nissan, Fiat, Renault and Citroen and are considered to be some of the leading designs in the market today.
The 25 expert judges – comprised of leading journalists from all over the world – will assess each vehicle on a whole range of criteria.
They will then make the difficult decision in early September, before presenting the award at the IAA Commercial Vehicles Show in Hanover, Germany, later that month.
"New van introductions don't come around too often but this year has been phenomenal with practically all brands involved in developing new product, primarily in the advent of more stringent emission levels," commented Jarlath Sweeney, chairman of the awards.
Ford has two models competing with its two-tonne Transit and Transit Courier; Renault is pitching its Trafic and Vivaro; Mercedes-Benz has developed its Vito panel van; while Nissan is hoping its e-NV200 all-electric offering picks up the gong.

Corby is first UK town to have defibrillator in every primary school
October 31, 2016 | No Comments
The Northamptonshire Telegraph is reporting that a grieving dad whose son died suddenly in a Corby school playground has raised enough money to provide every primary school in the town with life-saving defibrillators.
Thomas McNamee, 10, died at Studfall Juniors on October 23 2014. He had a known heart condition which unexpectedly caused his sudden collapse. Despite efforts by staff to revive him, he died. His father Darren Lafferty decided to tackle his grief by pouring all his efforts into raising thousands of pounds and launched the Fight For Every Heartbeat campaign to provide a defibrillator for every school in Corby.
The group raised £16,000 and that has been added to by dozens of kind-hearted locals to provide the life-saving equipment for every school in Corby. The fundraisers have now handed over 17 cheques and hope to continue their efforts to provide defibrillators in all the town's nurseries.
Thanking his friends Rev Frost and Connie Kirkwood, Darren said: "It's great to know that Corby is the first town in the UK to have defibrillators in every primary school.
"Now I will set out to do the children's nurseries of Corby.
"All the children of Corby deserve to have these so please help us complete are journey. I will not rest until I reach my target."
The defibrillators will also be available for members of the public to use should someone have a heart attack near to one of the schools. Emergency telephone operators will be able to direct people to the location to collect one.
Last year 291 children died after cardiac arrests in school playgrounds nationally.

Name Help: Emmy, Emme, or Emmie?
Name Help is a series at Appellation Mountain. Every week, one reader's name questions will be discussed.
We're relying on thoughtful comments from the community to help expectant parents narrow down their name decisions. Thank you in advance for sharing your insight!
Allison writes:
After weeks of discussion, we've settled on a name for our daughter, due in May: Emmeline Frances. We're pronouncing "line" to sound like mine and sign.
But now we have another dilemma: how do we spell her nickname?
I was writing Emme. My husband spells it Emmy. And my mother-in-law thinks Emmie, because our son is Charles "Charlie" so the kids' names would match.
I'm not sure I have a favorite – okay, I'm not wild about Emmie – but Emme and Emmy both seem reasonable. It's just that I want there to be one, and it want to be as obvious as possible. As a child and teenager, I sometimes answered to Aly, Allie, Ali, Ally and any-other-speling-you-can-dream-up.
My husband objects to Emme because he says it will be pronounced like the letter M. But Emmy sounds a little bit Southern, maybe? It just seems less sophisticated than Emme, even though I know that might be all in my head.
So which spelling makes sense?
Read on for my response, and please leave your thoughtful suggestions in the comments.
Dear Allison –
I'm so glad you've found a great name for your daughter! I know it's frustrating to think you're done, and then realize there's more to decide, right?
Let's see if we can break this down:
You have multiple options, all of which are valid and reasonably familiar. It's not as if you're considering Ehmmeigh.
My general advice when it comes to spelling applies here: consider the dominant spelling at the time of your child's birth. If you like it just fine, then go with that spelling. Odds are it will prove simplest over time.
So no choice is bad, but perhaps the best one is whatever spelling most people favor. This is difficult, of course, because we don't have good data on how people spell their nicknames.
But we do know that all three spellings are sometimes used as independent names, and that gives us some useful data:
In 2017, 141 girls were named Emme. This is down quite a bit, from a peak around 2009.
Emmie, on the other hand, was given to 422 girls, a new high. It's more than doubled in use since 2012.
But Emmy comes out on top, the spelling used for 493 girls. Again, Emmy has risen rapidly over the last decade.
Peak Emme is probably thanks to Jennifer Lopez, who named her daughter Emme Maribel back in 2008.
The actor Emmy Rossum – born Emmanuelle – might explain the rise in the 'y' spelling. She's had many a starring role, including Phantom of the Opera and nine seasons on Showtime's Shameless.
I also think of Emmylou Harris – maybe the reason you get a slightly Southern vibe from the 'y' spelling.
And, of course, the award for excellence in television is called an Emmy. It's not named for some fabled early television star; instead, the statuette takes its name from a camera tube.
All of this leads me to say the 'y' spelling seems sensible. The numbers suggest it's the spelling most people will think of, most of the time.
And yet, I'm not sure if there's any way to completely avoid the Ali/Allie/Ally experience. Emmy is ascendant now, but Emmie – likely inspired by so many Sadie/Ellie spellings – is rising fast. And Emme had a good run, too.
Logic takes me to Emmy, but feel free to go your own way if it feels right for your family.
For now, let's have a poll and see how readers feel about the choice:
Readers, do you have any advice on choosing the spelling of a nickname – or names in general?
100+ Cool Short Boy Names
Sunday Summary: Easter Basket Edition
Just want to say that Emmeline Frances is a beautiful name. I would hate for this confusion over nickname spelling to detract from it in anyway. It is very lovely.
Emmeline says:
As someone who has always gone by that nickname (spelled Emie in my case – my dad also wanted to spell it cute and unique), people who know me well, parents and friends, get it right. Everyone else, even aunts and uncles, still write Emmie and Emy and many other permutations on cards. That said, no one has ever spelled it "Emme" in all my 36 years. Spellings I have gotten are most commonly Emmy and Emmie, but also Emy, Emi, and Emmi. The grandmother is right about people's assumptions, my sister is Ellie, and people do assume our names match, except when they remember that they don't match, but not how they are different, so she gets hers written Elie and I get mine Emmie, or she will get Elly or Ely and I'll have some different spelling. (Note creative spellers: some of these spellings are actually pronounced Ee-lie"). I agree with your husband that Emme looks like it should be pronounced "M", just as Elle is pronounced "L", not Ellie. As a spelling of the nickname "M", I like it. As a way to say "Emie", I do not. 1) it is not common and will not be easily remembered, but likely none of the others will either, so let that pipe dream go now, 2) it is a made up, pretentious way to spell it that doesn't make sense in the English language (my way is made up to, but at least it works in English). I absolutely am against Emme, it is my new least favorite way to spell it, even worse than the ends-in-"i" ways (the formerly most pretentious ways to spell it, but at least made sense in languages like Spanish).
Sorry, normally I am mildly annoyed by people "misspelling" my name, but recognize that it is not a common name or a common spelling, and generally let it go unless it's on a name tag at an important event or group email or something where I am making long term contacts or new friends. But ever since I learned a few months ago that Emme is being pronounced "Emie" I have had very visceral reactions against it.
L. says:
I fretted whether my daughter Margaret would go by "Maisy" or "Maisie," but it turns out everyone guesses/invents their own spelling anyway – Mayzi, Macy, & Mazie probably being the most popular guesses. Over time I've come to embrace these as part of her name family, plus I like the connection to Senator Mazie Hirono.
For your daughter, I would vote for Emmy. But it sounds like you like the look of Emme better. If you wanted, you could pick that spelling and leave open whether you will pronounce it "Emmy," or "Em"-meline or "Emme" – line, all of which would be perfectly suitable nicknames. I think the ending matching Charlie's is the least compelling argument.
I would rank:
onomastodon says:
My preference is Emme, but I think Emmy or Emmie will be most intuitive for a lot of people.
I would automatically pronounce Emme as 'EHM-uh' – almost like Emma, but with the 'uh' just barely pronounced (or like the first 2 syllables of Emmeline :))
I'm clearly in the minority there, though – I think it's because I know a lot of people from parts of Europe where -e endings are generally pronounced that way.
Emmie or Emmy. Emme is too confusing.
I have no opinion but I had to chime in and say that I have an Emeline (no nn) and a Harriet Frances (Franceszka, but we call her Harriet Frances), so I tend to think you have excellent taste!
Because you have a Charlie, I'd say Emmie [in my family siblings tend to have matching name endings]. Otherwise I'd say Emmy, but only because of the award [thus I think a lot of people would think it's spelled that way]. I would *never* pronounce Emme the same way as the other two.
My eldest daughter is named Emerson and is primarily called Emme (Em-me). I was pretty adamant on the spelling of her nickname when she was born, so it just kind of stuck. I've never heard it mispronounced as "Em", but occasionally she'll get family members who write Emmie on cards and such♀. It doesn't seem to bother her at all.
Id go Emmë or Emmi personally
Totally thought J-Lo's daughter was pronounced like the letter M until just now (I mean, Elle is pronounced like L, so I figured Emme was pronounced like M). Mind blown.
I also meant to mention I've only ever lived on the west coast, so all those Emmy's were definitely not southern.
As one of the many Emily's out there, I went by Emmy growing up and every Emmy I knew had the same spelling. I don't know if things have changed since then.
Sara L. Uckelman says:
Here's an option: Don't fret over the nickname spelling.
My daughter's name has a short form that can be augmented to an "ends in \ee\" form. I naturally spelled the ending "-nie", and didn't even think anyone would spell it another way. She was some months old when I got an email from my dad that spelled it "-ny". Huh! I wouldn't have thought of that. But if that's how Grandpa wants to call her/think of her, why not? And then we moved to Germany, where her name is quite unusual, and where nicknames are formed in a different fashion, and they spelled it phonetically, "-i". I decided I loved that latter spelling, and until she dropped the diminutive suffix altogether, I tended to spell it that way. So, there's no reason why ONE spelling has to be picked for the nickname!
Myfanwy says:
I always think nicknames will end in -ie unless there's a dominant, well-established spelling in -y. Maybe Emmie feels more natural because it preserves the -e- in Emmeline, whereas Emmy looks somehow truncated! I don't know, that probably makes no sense at all ;-). Anyway, Emme looks nice and palindromic but I would naturally pronounce it Em (sorry). So I would expect Emmie and that's how I'd write it unless told otherwise.
I know an adult Emme – pronounced Em-may. Everyone everyone mispronounces it as Emmy these days, cause Emmy / Emme is a super hot nickname / name for kids.
I voted for Emmy because it looks more intuitive and nicknamey, but I agree you can also go with what you love and do the work with new people.
Keats says:
This is funny. I would have thought Emme was pronounced like Esme (aka ie ending) but Emmy as a name could be with an ending like "my" as in mine. I would never have thought of M for Emme. For all you effort, she may end up as just Em like most of my Emily friends!
I think that Abby's note shows that all three are valid spellings for this decade and the spelling shifts rapidly. So pick the one you love because there is no right answer here.
I thought Esme ended in -ay!
Good point! Bad example!
Esme is another debated name. From what I can tell the Esmé / Esmée versions with an accent are the French -may pronunciation while Esme / Esmee are the anglocized -mee version.
So how about Emma as a better example of the two syllable? But you are right, it is weird though how Elle is one syllable but Ella is two!
So I voted for Emmy, in that I think it's an intuitive spelling, but I would go with Emme and just do the extra work to make it stick. Emme is lovely and it would be worth the extra effort to make her nickname the spelling you prefer.
Honestly I'd never guess that Emme was pronounced like Emmie and not like Em. If I heard the name Id immediately assume it was Emmie, since nickname names in -ie are more common than nickname names in -y. That said I voted for Emmy, but only because you unfortunately don't seem too fond of Emmie.
Mandie L. says:
My nickname has a definite spelling, that my Mom picked for me before I was born. Somehow (I'm still exactly sure how it happened) I ended up going almost exclusively by my nickname as an adult. And it's a pain because people misspell it ALL THE TIME (even my in-laws) and it bugs me because there is a "right" spelling.
My Emmeline goes by Milly (almost all the time), and we spelled it with a y specifically because everyone always tries to spell my name with a y. Guess what? Apparently Millie is more common than Milly. I can't win. 😛
Our youngest is Winifred and mostly goes by Winifred, but we also call her Windy/Wendy. When she was little I stressed a bit about how to stress my nickname, but my husband said "It's a nick-name. It really shouldn't matter how it's spelled, because people aren't really going to be spelling it that often." So – I usually spell it with an "i" and he occassionally spells it with an "e" (and so does my Mom) and most everyone else just spells it Winifred and that works. (Although we sometimes get "Winnifred", "Winnefrid", and even "Wenifer" – even though we used the traditional spelling. Like I said, we can't win.)
All that to say, choose the spelling you like, but be prepared that she may very well get all three of them from different people at different times. If that's going to be an issue, be prepared to spell it for them, just like you would Ann vs. Anne or Sara vs. Sarah. Or you can just decide to embrace all of them.
Emme seems natural to me, as the first part of the name is spelled that way. I would never think to pronounce it as "M". It's such a beautiful name and nickname!
We have a 2.5 year old Emmeline who goes exclusively by Emme (pronounced like Emmy). We clarified our preferred nickname and pronunciation when she born and haven't had any problems since. It's a gorgeous name and I think Emme is the most obvious and sophisticated nickname, but I'm biased. 🙂 I think my husband spelled differently the first few times as he was getting used to it, but now it's Emme to everyone, no problem. 🙂 Good luck!

Longtail Tuna
The longtail tuna (Thunnus tonggol) is a ray finned fish which belongs to family Scombridae under Order Perciformes of Class Actinopterygii. It is also known as Blue-fin tuna, Indian long-tailed tuna, Northern bluefin tuna, and oriental bonito. The longtail tuna occurs mainly in the Indo-West Pacific Ocean, including the Red Sea, around the Arabian Peninsula, off the coast of East Africa across to the coast of New Guinea, north to the waters around Japan, and south to the coast of Australia.
The longtail tuna's body is elongated, fusiform and slightly compressed. The longtail tuna is dark blue to black dorsally with silvery white belly and lower side. Colorless oval spots are found which are arranged horizontally along the belly. The dorsal, pectoral and pelvic fins are blackish while the tip of the second dorsal and anal fins is washed with yellow. The anal fin is silvery while the dorsal and anal finlets are yellow with grayish margins. The caudal fin is blackish with streaks of yellow green. The second dorsal fin is higher than first dorsal fin. The first dorsal fin has 12-15 spines and second dorsal fin with 14 -15 soft rays which is followed by 8 -9 finlets. Anal fin contains 13 - 14 rays which are followed by 8-9 finlets. Pectoral fin is short to moderately long and interpelvic process is small and bifid. Body is covered with very small scales and caudal peduncle is very slender which bears a strong lateral keel between 2 smaller keels on each side. It is an opportunistic predator which consumes a wide variety of prey items including various pelagic and damersal fish, squid, and small crustaceans. The longtail tuna reaches sexual maturity at lengths of around 60-70 cm. The longtail tuna breeds during the summer with a typical spawning period lasting five to seven months. It grows up to 145 cm in length and 49 kg in weight.


Cryotherapy is the utilisation of extremely cold temperatures, often used in medical treatment or surgery. Research into the treatment is gaining pace as more people turn to the method for recovering after sports.
In the case of sporting injuries, cryotherapy applied either to the whole body, or localised to one area. Whole body cryotherapy for sports recovery can help muscle tissue to recover faster. Following an injury, there is a marked reduction in inflammation and pain when the area is treated with cryotherapy. You can return to sports much faster following endurance events or injuries following treatment with cryotherapy.
Whole body cryotherapy has been available for around 40 years, however, the benefits of it are only recently becoming more widespread. It has been used in the USA for more than a decade in sports therapy, particularly for high-impact sports such as MMA, UFC, boxing, Jiu-Jitsu, and also for sports that require repetitive movements such as tennis. It has become a widely used and successful treatment for tennis elbow, an injury that still has fairly limited treatment options.
To experience the benefits of cryotherapy for sports recovery and healing, Cryoaction are able to provide either built-in or mobile cryotherapy chambers to your gym, club or spa.
Cryotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that can either be 'whole body', or 'localised'. Whole body cryotherapy involves entering a cryotherapy chamber where the extremely low temperature of -135 degrees Celsius results in restriction of the blood vessels. This in turn helps to drain lactic acid out of aching and sore muscles. When you exit the chamber, your blood vessels expand, resulting in an influx of oxygenated blood flowing back to the muscles. The 'shock' from the cold is efficient and safe, in contrast to ice baths where the temperature is not monitored which may result in more harm than benefit.
Whole body cryotherapy tends to take only 3 minutes to kick start healing with the benefits lasting long after the end of the session. It results in up to 5x faster healing from sports injuries and recovery after endurance events.
How Often can you use Cryotherapy?
There is no limit to the number of cryotherapy sessions you may have. During treatment, the consistent and deep cold penetrates deep into your tissues giving long-lasting benefits. The controlled cooling method results in even deep muscles recovering considerably faster from swelling and pain.

What is Sonography and Ultrasound Scanning?
Detailed ultrasound scan of the uterus, endometrium and ovaries, including a wide range of blood tests. Often required prior to or during IVF treatment.
Detailed scan of the endometrium (lining of the womb). This scan is often performed at a certain stage of IVF treatment.
Detailed Scans of the following areas for men over the age of 16.
A detailed scan to assess the main blood vessel leading away from the heart. This scan is particularly recommended for men over the age of 60 who have ever smoked and for anyone with family history of abdominal aortic aneurysm, both kidneys will also be assessed.
Detailed Scans of the following areas for women over the age of 16.
A detailed scan to assess the main blood vessel leading away from the heart. This scan is particularly recommended for women over the age of 60 who have ever smoked and for anyone with family history of abdominal aortic aneurysm, both kidneys will also be assessed.
All of the abovementioned, relevant tests are available for our senior health patients.
Whilst some of the Ultrasound scans offered above are available via the NHS some people would rather put their mind at rest and book a private scan instead of waiting for an NHS scan, this offers peace of mind whether it be checking the for a fetal heartbeat or checking the condition of a major organ.

The Attack on Inequality
Research Paper Proposal The topic of racial inequalities advance has been debated for years. Racial inequality has been around since mankind itself. Racial equality has caused turmoil throughout the world, it was a major cause of the civil war, and even today still affects us. Many say racial equality has improved greatly, but there is still a long way to go.
Sure, people are no longer enslaved, are free to live however they wish as per their right as human beings. However, inequality still exists, even now events such as President Trump's plan for the wall, or the travel ban on muslims. Today conflict still arises in terms of racial issues, stereotypes are still a large factor in society, many peoplelive on believing in them. Racial inequality is obviously still a large part of society, whether you personally believe so or not. Shying away from the academic standpoint for a second, it's called the Human race for a reason, Whether you be German, African, Asian, American, Russian, etc, we are all just people, yesfrom different heritages, backgrounds, and culture, but one race nonetheless, ethnicity is no reason to persecute anyone, or treat anyone as unequal.
As a Human race, one race, we would be able to accomplish so much more if we weren't fighting ourselves. Racial inequality has put humanity so far behind. Think of all the things we could be doing if we all worked together as a whole. Abstract Racial inequality has been around far too long, and many people don't realize how much it still appears in modern society. Even today people are still subject to prejudice and disrespect simply because of the color of their skin.
In this paper I attempt to explain the hardships African Americans have faced, and in some cases still continue to face. I chose this topic in an attempt to get people to notice the discrimination that people of other races and ethnicities undergo, through research, reference, and historical facts. Annotated Bibliography (Wilson, Anna, African Americans Struggle For Equality, Rourke Publications, 1992) Written to educate readers on the history of african americans throughout the years. Emphasized on the treatment of African Americans, and their struggle to gain the rights they deserve. This helped give me real understanding of troubles that African Americans face, and further context of the African American Culture/History (Fitzgerald, F. Scott, The Great Gatsby, 1925) This book contains many instances of not racial inequality, but just inequality in general such as the gap between the rich and poor, and how money can affect one's life so heavily.
(Hansberry, Lorraine, A Raisin in the sun,1959) A play written about an African American family, and their daily lives, struggles, and triumphs. Though it is a fictional story, this play features real scenarios that African Americans have faced, and in some cases still face today. ("DR. KING'S LEGACY." New York Post [New York, NY], 15 Jan. 2001, p.
24. Global Issues in Context, Accessed 16 Mar. 2017.) A brief reference paper on Dr. King and how he influenced African American lives. Gives good examples of struggles African Americans have been through, and also how they have overcome much of what they have been put through.
(Gates, Henry Louis, Jr. "Proving Black History Matters." New York Times, 24 Sept. 2016, p. A21(L).
Global Issues in Context, Accessed 16 Mar. 2017.) A world viewpoint that debates the actuality of how African Americans have influenced the world today, showing the progress they have made in the social, and political world, and how far we as a country have come. (Steinbeck, John. The Grapes of Wrath.
New York: Penguin classics, 1992.) This book gives many examples of discrimination not by race, but by where you are from. In the book the term okie is used, meaning you are from oklahoma, but the word is often used as an insult in the book. (Roberts, Sam. "Race Equality Is Still a Work in Progress, Survey Finds." The New York Times, The New York Times, 22 Aug.
2013, Accessed 17 Apr. 2017.)This article is an insight on how everyday Americans today feel on the progression of equality, or lack thereof. The Attack on Inequality The topic of racial inequalities advance has been debated for years. Racial inequality has been around for centuries, and still arises today all around the world.
Racial equality has caused turmoil throughout the world, it was a major cause of the civil war, and it continues to affect people today. Many say racial equality has improved greatly, but there is still a long way to go. The act of slavery has been abolished for the most part in the U.S. at least, however slavery is still a problem in many places around the world. African Americans are free to live however they wish as per their right as human beings.
However, inequality still exists, even now events such as president Trump's plan for the wall, or the travel ban on muslims continue to bring discrimination to people of other races simply because they are different. In A Raisin in the Sun racism is quite prominent in some cases, such as when Mr. Lindner offers the Younger family money to not move into the white neighborhood "I want you to believe me when I tell you that race prejudice simply doesn't enter into it. It is a matter of the people of Clybourne Park believing, rightly or wrongly, as I say, that for the happiness of all concerned that our Negro families are happier when they live in their own communities." (Hansberry) Though it is a fictional story, A Raisin in the Sun gives accurate examples of both struggles and triumphs that African Americans have undergone. Today conflict still arises in terms of racial issues.
Stereotypes are still a large factor in society such as the stereotype that Black people are all in gangs and just overall troublemakers; there are people all across the U.S. that simply don't know that stereotypes are anything but the truth, because that is how they were taught. How can we say that racial prejudice no longer exists when children around the world are being taught false information about another race?!Racial inequality is obviously still a large part of society, whether you personally believe so or not. Shying away from the academic standpoint for a second, it's called the Human race for a reason.Whether you be German, African, Asian, American, Russian, etc, we are all just people, yes from different heritages, backgrounds, and culture, but one race nonetheless, ethnicity is no reason to persecute anyone, or treat anyone as unequal.
As a Human race, one race, we would be able to accomplish so much more if we weren't fighting ourselves. Racial inequality has put humanity so far behind, think of all the things we could be doing if we all worked together as a union. The Great Gatsby is another good example, there may not be many examples of racial inequality, but just inequality in general, such as the massive gap between the rich and the poor. In The Great Gatsby there is a massive line between the rich, who have enough money to feed 5 families and still never work a day in their life, and the poor, who barely have enough money to feed themselves, while working full time. Not only does money play a large role in survival, but it gives those with more money advantages over society, "With fenders spread like wings we scattered light through half Long Island City – only half, for as we twisted among the pillars of the elevated I heard the familiar "jug – jug – spat" of a motorcycle, and a frantic policemen rode alongside.
"All right old sport," called Gatsby. We slowed down. Taking a white card from his wallet he waved it before the man's eyes. "Right you are," agreed the policeman, tipping his cap. "Know you next time, Mr. Gatsby.
Excuse me!" (Gatsby) African Americans have been struggling for their equality for centuries, from slavery, to segregation, to the civil rights movement. Even after the end of segregation African Americans still struggle to gain their equality. People still treat Blacks as a separate and lesser race. In the past Blacks were harassed, beaten, and even killed, all over their skin color. "Fewer than one in three black Americans and not even half of whites say the United States has made "a lot" of progress toward achieving racial equality in the half-century since the Rev.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. declared he had "a dream" that one day freedom, justice and brotherhood would prevail and that his children would "not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." (Roberts) The Grapes of Wrath shows other great examples of inequality, not racial, but just overall discrimination. "Well, Okie use' ta mean you was from Oklahoma.
Now it means you're a dirty son-of-a-b****. Okie means you're scum." Not only is racial equality an issue, but equality in general, such as being discriminated against simply because of where you are from, which in reality isn't much different from being discriminated against for the color of one's skin (Steinbeck) Inequality comes in all shapes and sizes, however, some instances of inequality are more prominent and stubborn than others, such as racial inequality. As African Americans have defeated things such as slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow Laws, they still have yet to defeat things like discrimination, subjugation, and stereotypes. After escaping and overcoming slavery, African Americans have faced new problems.
They were free, but had nowhere to go. It was hard for them to get jobs, loans, or even just use the toilet in a restaurant, because they were treated as lesser people than whites. Soon followed Segregation, a whole new challenge for African Americans. They were forced to use separate restrooms, water fountains, and even schools and buses than the white folks. Things such as the Montgomery bus Boycott, sit ins, and peaceful protests began to take place in an attempt to get the country to realize how unjust the treatment of African Americans was. Actions such as those are what helped pull African Americans out of segregation, and into a new world of equality.
But even then, their hardships were not over; freedom and equality were both things they were promised, but things not always delivered upon. African Americans were still treated as the inferior race, still treated as something less. Even now, after the civil rights movement, the right to vote, full legal equality has been given as a right to African Americans, but, Segregation De Facto still exists, the treatment of inequality not by law, but by custom, opinion, and bias. That, is something you cannot combat in a court, or a war. You cannot win a battle when there is no true opposing side, how do you fight the opinion of oneself? Throughout the years racial inequality has been battled and beaten, time and time again.
But we have not yet won the war. Racial inequality is not quite as prominent as it used to be, even then, it still exists. If not by law but by custom.

The making of every handmade motorbike has been always an exciting project, imagine in this case referring to a monowheel. The monowheel is a machine that has only one wheel and the driver sits inside it. The wheel is leaded by other smaller wheels and it is moved by the machine through a rubber wheel, which is connected with the main wheel.
Firstly, we started our structure by making a big, metallic wheel with 130cm diameter using a tube of 40mm diameter. Then, we lined the metallic wheel with a rubber in order to achieve having the benefits that all the tyres have on the street. Also, due to the fact that the wheel is big in size, we took 4 tyres from small motorbikes and we cut them as well as we glued the one with the other in order to form a tyre.
Afterwards, we made 3 wheels with a bearing using Teflon PTFE and on which the big wheel rolls. These three wheels were attached with the inside part of the wheel on a framework. On this framework, another machine 110cc 4 stroke was placed. This machine using a chain, enables a rubber wheel to move so this wheel enables the big wheel to move as well. Therefore, the rider sits inside the wheel.
Despite all the difficulties and challenges that we faced making this structure, it was still an incredible and exciting project to complete. The monowheels are very unstable in low speed but very stable in speeds over 30km. Concluding, the feeling that the driver gets while driving it is very unusual as we have never driven such a vehicle in our lives before. We are unbelievably happy making and owning a functional monowheel from now on.
Your monowheel IS a neat hack. But. the monowheel has never been successful as a real mode of transportation, it's too unstable, and more often than not, riders get hurt. While a few people HAVE managed to make use of them, they remain impractical.
Genuine question: How do they solve the braking problem that this monowheel has too?

It's Back to the Future Day. This is the day that Marty McFly from the movie "Back to the Future Part II" travels to in order to save his yet to be born children. You can celebrate this day in a variety of ways, but if you have a VR headset, you can jump into VRChat and literally go back to the future.
Custom created model of Sharkie for VRChat Back to the Future room.
In social VR app VRChat, community member Kirito decided to import Courthouse Square from the movie into two different rooms. One room takes place in the year 1985 and the other takes place in present day. As this is social VR, you can chat with your friends in here, watch clips from the movie (use "-" and "+" on keyboard to raise and lower volume), and actually sit in the DeLorean car shown in the movie.
3 Back to the Future avatars you can use in VRChat. Credit to Send Help for Marty and Doc imports, and Atom Jaay for Mr. Fusion Bot creation.
If you have an Oculus Rift headset, you will feel like you have stepped into the scene from the movie. Even if you don't own a VR headset, you can still hang out and chat with people in Courthouse Square from "Back to the Future". Movement is done with a keyword and mouse or a gamepad. Push "v" key to talk on keyboard and mouse or the left bumper on the controller.
If you create an account for VRChat, you can find and use the Marty and Doc avatars. Also available is the Mr. Fusion Bot. They can be found here – (http://www.vrchat.net/marketplace). After creating an account and downloading them, host on Google Drive or Dropbox.
Please tap/click the thumbnails in the embedded panoramas above to be brought to the 360° stereoscopic panos on VRChive. Still lost? Here's how to view these panoramas in detail.
Loading of the 360° stereoscopic 3-D panos contained within the pictures below will take a while. They are sometimes 20 MB or more in size. Refreshing seems to help a bit if yours isn't loading, but keep in mind VRChive is still in alpha stage, and you are viewing 360° stereoscopic panoramas from in game, which is quite impressive at this stage of VR.
Kirito made all of this possible on short notice last night. He is an active community member in VRChat and has brought in rooms such as Kingdom Hearts, Kirito's Hangout, Kirito's Chillout, and a host of Halloween experiences for the VRChat Halloween Event on October 30th. You can find him in VRChat as the Kirito avatar from Sword Art Online.

It appears that the charity that brings famous people together for soccer games like this doesn't extend on to the pitch.
In the biennial Soccer Aid match, which benefits UNICEF and took play Sunday, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay got absolutely clobbered from behind by former Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham.
Ramsay actually had to be taken off on a stretcher. Check out the face rub that Sheringham gives him after the hit.
There were a lot of other famous people there too.
Gerard Butler and Robbie Williams!
Michael Sheen and Mike Myers!
