Biographie

Fils d'un banquier, cousin éloigné de Gambetta (dont il publie la correspondance), Pierre-Barthélemy Gheusi fait ses études au collège de Castres, où il rencontre Jean Jaurès, son aîné de six ans, élève des grandes classes (jusqu'en 1876), et se lie d'amitié avec le médecin et érudit François de Vesian. Il part à Toulouse faire ses études de droit.

En 1887-1888, à l'instigation de Laurent Tailhade, il collabore à la revue Le Décadent d'Anatole Baju, sous le pseudonyme de Norbert Lorédan mais sa carrière littéraire peine à décoller, malgré les recommandations d'Émile Zola et de Catulle Mendès.

Gheusi tâte un peu de politique dans le camp républicain en faisant la campagne électorale de Jaurès aux élections législatives de 1889 à Castres. Puis il choisit d'entrer dans l'administration et devient, grâce à l'appui de Léon Bourgeois, chef de cabinet du sous-préfet de Reims. S'ennuyant en province, il obtient rapidement sa mutation à Paris. Pendant les années qui suivent, le Gouvernement fait sporadiquement appel à lui. En 1897, Ernest Constans l'envoie en tournée d'inspection des écoles chrétiennes en Palestine. Après un bref passage au Ministère des Colonies en 1906, auprès de Georges Leygues, comme lui originaire du Sud-Ouest de la France, il est chargé par le Toulousain Jean Cruppi, alors ministre français des Affaires étrangères, de travailler en 1911 au rétablissement des relations diplomatiques entre la France et le Venezuela.

En 1894, il épouse Adrienne Willems, nièce du peintre Florent Willems et fréquente, aux côtés de nombre d'autres libre-penseurs et francs-maçons, la Luscrambo, société regroupant les Toulousains de Paris, fondée par l'artiste lyrique et plus tard directeur de l'Opéra, Pedro Gailhard.

Son roman Gaucher Myrian, écrit en collaboration avec l'érudit bordelais Anatole Loquin et publié en 1893, atteste de son intérêt pour le catharisme. En 1906, on le voit d'ailleurs membre de l'Église gnostique catholique, qui s'en veut la continuation, aux côtés de Léonce-Eugène Fabre des Essarts et de Gabriel Fauré.

En 1897, Arthur Meyer lui confie la direction du supplément littéraire illustré du Gaulois qui vient d'être créé sous le titre Le Gaulois du dimanche. En 1899, il rachète La Nouvelle Revue à Juliette Adam. Sous sa direction, ce périodique connaît une période particulièrement brillante.

À Paris, il réside 4 rue Saint-Florentin. En 1911, il acquiert aux enchères « avec une douzaine d'amis  réunis en société civile » le château du baron de L'Espée, à Ilbarritz, près de Biarritz, dont il recommanda le séjour, par l'intermédiaire de son notaire biarrot, au couple Deschanel en quête d'un lieu de repos ; il envisagea d'y créer un golf, mais la première guerre mondiale interrompt les travaux et il transforme la demeure en hôpital pour les blessés rapatriés du Front. Lui-même sert comme officier d'ordonnance de Gallieni à qui il consacre de nombreux livres.

Pedro Gailhard l'avait appelé à ses côtés à la direction de l'Opéra en 1906 et, en 1914, il avait enfin obtenu la direction de l'Opéra Comique, dont il rêvait depuis longtemps. Il en est brutalement remercié en 1918 par son ennemi juré Clemenceau. Après un court passage à la direction du Théâtre Lyrique du Vaudeville (1919-1920), il entre comme rédacteur au Figaro et ne tarde pas à y être promu directeur-administrateur. Il défend la mémoire de Gambetta et de sa compagne Léonie Léon dans les colonnes du Figaro, lors d'une polémique avec Léon Daudet à propos de son roman, Le Drame des Jardies. Dans cette période de direction du quotidien, il est notamment chargé par le nouveau propriétaire, François Coty, d'organiser la fusion avec le journal avec Le Gaulois en 1929, avant d'être congédié en 1932.

Anatole de Monzie, ministre de l'Instruction publique et des Beaux-Arts, le nomme à nouveau à la direction de l'Opéra-Comique qui est au bord du gouffre financier. Gheusi n'hésite pas à renflouer le théâtre de ses propres deniers, mais le personnel le contraint à la démission au moment des grèves de 1936.

Il meurt à Paris le . Ses mémoires, Cinquante Ans de Paris, sont un document très précieux sur la vie politique et mondaine sous la IIIe République. Il était commandeur de la Légion d'honneur (décret du 3.1.1926).

For a summary of this interview, click here for a later post!
CG: When I put your link up on my Weekly Roundup, and I can see that many of the clicks to it are from the US. I mean in terms of music, that's a big market over there too!
HSJ: Yeah but I mean, we're not kinda like… New York Gangsta rap or….
CA: I think when the video comes out tonight, they'll find out! We are not!
HSJ: We've had hardships, and we've had hard times.
CG: So how long have you guys been together?
CG: No waaaaay! So, essentially you're a new band!
HSJ: It's like… I dunno… some kind of dynamic force, that when we come/work together, it's like [CA: yeah] bigger, bigger than each of us, and when we come together, it's kind of unleashed. It's quite scary!
CG: So… November…How did it all start?
HSJ: Cherrie's an amazing singer as you've probably worked out. In the Philippines, she's like a phenomenon in her own right.
CA: Oh no don't say that! I just sing in Church, that's it!
HSJ: Ok… but you've sung to 30,000. [CA: yeah] Ok well, not a lot of people can say that. So whatever you wanna call it, from my point of view, you're a phenomenon in your own right.
CA: Ok. You would say that.
HSJ: So while she was doing that, I was here, writing songs, playing in acoustic venues, and had a band… we did all these kind of things before. And then we met at… d'you know First Sunday at Farm Street?
CG: Yeah! A couple of my friends go there.
CA: The message is still the same.
HSJ: I would argue that the really traditional traditionalists, if they went right right right right back to the great origins then they would find that innovation and experimentation was central to delivering the Christian message – when you look at Paul going to the Gentiles, he didn't go with a fixed creed that couldn't possibly ever be changed. He went into their Church, and he adapted and experimented with it.
CG: Well, it's true, you do have such a valid point – the message has been the same for 2000 years.
HSJ: I don't think that when Jesus was ministering to people with leprosy or whatever else – I don't see him going up to them with some really weird esoteric vocabulary and expected them to lock into that point of view of it. It was really human, it was down to earth. There was nothing high-brow – which is what our faith can sometimes become.
HSJ: We love the old traditions though. I mean you go to some of the old rite masses and they're just incredible. They're so overwhelmingly mysterious and incomprehensible that you do come away with a sense of having gone out of the world into a sacred space. And then you return to your everyday life with that memory in your heart and in your mind. And it must affect the way you live after that. But at the same time, I don't see that that experience of going into a sacred space is any different from what we're doing musically [CA: yeah] because we're taking people out of their ordinary everyday way of thinking and through music trying to get them to think in a more enlightened way.
CA: Our video's coming out tonight or maybe tomorrow morning. It's exciting! And hopefully when people see the video, they'll have a better understanding of what we're trying to do because the video does make a strong impact in terms of giving the message.
CA: Everyone's talking about those lines: "Go help the poorest of the poor lying dying in the gutter..."
HSJ: You see… that's the forgotten aspect or it's not highlighted enough in our faith. You go to Church, Jesus is there in the tabernacle, Jesus is the elevated consecrated [couldn't catch this word on playback] and that's all fine… but we forget somehow that he's also there in our hearts and that when we go out into situations of destitution [CA: yeah, we bring his message there], we feel his presence. If we listen to it and respond to it, we're encouraged to do something to raise up the fallen [CA: yeah that's gotta happen], change the ugliness of the world and make it more beautiful.
CG: I love your enthusiasm. You're obviously knowledgable about your own individual faith, and you know how to express your faith as a group. You're both Catholic… what about the third person?
HSJ: He grew up in Romania, and I think Romania is a predominantly Catholic country. Yeah, he's a local hero in Romania.
CA: Yeah! The media media is like 'Oh wow, we're so proud of you, like, you're all over the media in the UK [laugh]. They love the song there apparently.
HSJ: He was known there already as a musician before he came over here.
CA: So prior to November when we all came together, we were all doing our own thing, our own music. Earlier I was telling you about the fusion of music that we do. That started off in August last year because we went on a Church mission trip. We were there to do some charity work with Filipino charities. One of the things we did was help the Aeta in Zambales. Then there, that's where we saw their traditions. Similar to the Igorots, they have the Kulintang. It's Ilocos.
CG: Ah, my Mum's from Ilocos!
CA: Oh really?! My Dad's from Ilocos!
HSJ: That's what struck me when I went to the Philippines… the amazing, natural spirituality in everybody. And they don't necessarily have to be Catholic – they're all very deeply anchored in the light of a spirit. I don't know if that might be romanticising it, I don't know, but that's how it seemed to me.
CA: No I think that in the Philippines, it's a Catholic country – well, most are Catholic, and there is a sense of being proud of sharing your faith with everybody.
CG: It's strange actually, because I've never lived there – the last time I was there I was 3 years old. And all I see of the Filipino community is what I encounter here in this country. Now there are many things I'm proud of when it comes to the Filipino community, but there are also some things that I'm not very proud of when it comes to some Filipinos in this country, like appearing to be pious, but then having a little 'chismis' session just outside the Church doors after Mass. So I don't know if it's like that back in the Philippines as well, but I somehow don't think so!
CA: I don't think so.
CG: I think it's only something that happens when they get over here!
HSJ: Or maybe they acclimatise themselves to a secular environment and try to dumb down their natural faith… I don't know… but I was totally overwhelmed at how amazingly in touch people were… like some of the charismatic groups working with the children's charities are incredible.
CA: Yeah. And there's passion.
HSJ: Yeah, real passion. And also music! Everybody is musical in the Philippines!
CG: Yeah… every Filipino here has a karaoke machine.
CA: Aww I need to get one!
HSJ: When we went to Montelubos (I think I've picked this up wrong, because can't find it as a location on the net!) to shoot the video, the really really run down… I don't know if 'shanty town' is still allowed these days, we were walking around, filming the video and everybody was like 'oh who's this…' it's like 'they've landed from another planet…'. But then there was this really loud sound, and I walked up to it when we'd finished filming, and in the midst of all this poverty, there was this big TV, and a guy with a microphone! [group laughter] I couldn't believe it!
CA: Yeah… so that's Philippines for you!
CG: It's surprising… there are so many good Filipino singers. I don't really know very many young Filipino women that can't sing!
HSJ: Do you wanna join our band?
CG: Oh no no no no no! I'm definitely not good enough for your band! But it's amazing to hear your history. It's a new history, but I'm hoping it will go really far. When you got together, was it your intention to create religious music, or was it just to jam?
HSJ: When we were rehearsing and jamming, we would just play around on the piano. Because we all have a faith, obviously when we started writing, our faith kind of showed itself in the lyrics.
CA: Yes, for example in Hearts Cry, everything he raps about, he wrote. Everything I sing about, I wrote. And then Cornel fuses everything, takes away perhaps the not-so-good parts and makes it mainstream.
HSJ: Cornel is very good at honing something down.
CG: When you have those discussions then, what's it like in the studio?
HSJ: They gang up against me!
CA: The original song… is like a novel! [group laughter]. It had like… six verses!
CA: I'm teasing! I'm joking.
HSJ: Do you want me to continue?
HSJ: I said: "Look. This song isn't going to be about us. It's gonna be about the Pope." Therefore, the line I selected [referring to parts of the Pope's message at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial], was a really good line.
HSJ: Yeah because we thought… we wanted to emphasise the pastoral devotion of the Pope.
CA: So we put that back.
HSJ: He's got such a strong German accent – it's very difficult to, say, extract the words from the speech where it can stand by itself in this context. Even though we may have found something that works, it doesn't always work when we take it out of context.
CG: Just because of that thick German accent, I find him quite 'musical'. Sometimes, he elongates certain syllables, and I quite like that – it's quite musical to the ear.
HSJ: He's very very gentle – he's got a very very delicate gentleness. And I'm sure that's because he's in touch with a finer connection with the human soul, the human spirit – particularly in that address. It couldn't have been a more charged atmosphere. He's addressing predominantly Jewish congregation effectively reminiscing or remembering people who have lost their lives in the Holocaust. That's such a delicate subject. Also the fact that he was German… You can feel the electricity in the air in his address.
CG: I'm extremely excited for next week! It's gonna be crazy. I'll be going to Edinburgh as I'll have a media pass so I'll be able to get into the media area up there. But I hope that in Cofton Park and Hyde Park, I will be in the crowd. I want to get footage to upload to my youTube channel straight away, I want to tweet from where I'm at, you know. And then when I get home in the night, I'll write a blog article about the experience, and early next morning, there I am on a coach to Birmingham. It's gonna be manic for me… but it's gonna be even more manic for you guys hopefully! What's the news?
CA: What's the news Hal?
CG: What's the news in terms of Hyde Park? Are you performing?
HSJ: Well, we're rehearsing on Saturday, all of us, just to fine-tune our performance, and Andrew Headon who is organising it has said… well, I think the day has been split into blocks – there's a two hour block of music before the Pope arrives, and then there's the kind of concluding ceremony. Last time I spoke to him, they were working on the idea that maybe we'd be part of the closing ceremony.
CA: That'd be really really really good!
CG: Oh I really hope so! I think what's going to happen is that because of the overwhelming atmosphere and electricity of it all, people are going to stay a little bit afterwards with that subdued feeling – and I think you'd be able to capture their attention, sometime late in the evening.
HSJ: They're still working on the fine details of what's going to happen. The detail is not known, except be ready.
CG: Well, if they've said be ready, then that's has got to be a good sign!
CG: So tell me a little bit about this really really rapid rise to fame!
CA: I'm super happy. Or should I say… oober happy! [ladies laughter] It's quite exciting and at the same time quite scary. But it's all good because everyone is getting to hear the song and more importantly the message of the song. It's really worth it for that. That it spreads.
HSJ: Yeah, we were interviewed by one particular global media company, and they're trying to get in the interview saying… oh you know… there's all of these groups complaining about this aspect of the Church and that aspect of the Church. Where do you fit in? And I said 'Well, the core of the song is a pure message of Christianity, or what we interpret is the pure message of Christianity. The Church, as far as we're concerned is set up for one purpose, and that is to advance the teachings of Christ. Ok, there are people in the Church, perhaps, and there are critics outside the Church who want to condemn it, and occasionally through weak human nature maybe do things they shouldn't do. That's not our concern in the song. We're trying to stay focused on what the Church's mission is, not on the kind of… human fallen aspects. If you look at any institution and hold a light up to it, you'll find cracks and faults; and I suspect far deeper cracks and far worse fault lines than you do the Catholic Church.
CA: There's so much of that going on but what we're trying to tell people is… let's look at what it really is about. It's not about the peripheral; it's about the message of the gospel and really that's what we're trying to encapsulate in the song.
CA: And that's the theme of the visit!
CG: I'm so pleased to hear role models such as yourselves say stuff like this. You can really go out there now, and say 'Here's the gospel message'. Obviously your track Hearts Cry is a profession of that gospel message… was it the track you used at Live and Unsigned? Was it a different track?
HSJ: In November, we recorded two demo tracks. One was Hearts Cry, and the other was Hidden Light. We dedided our audition piece would be Hidden Light. That got us through the audition stage to the regional final, where you've got to do three and a half mintues – half of which would be an original track, and the other half a cover. So our original half was Hidden Light, and the other half was Puff Daddy and Faith Evans' I'll be missing you.
CA: The one that has the resurrection.
HSJ: Then we got to the area finals, we thought, ok… we'd written another track called Beautiful Loser – the title was Cornel's contribution [CA: yeah], and so we did that; but this time the cover we did was The Cure by Lovecats – and the front man is a Catholic.
CA: I think the connection is… what does his brother do?
HSJ: His brother in law works at CAFOD.
CA: Yeah, and he promotes CAFOD.
HSJ: That's not why we did it.
CG: We're just making the connection.
CA: It's because you guys like Lovecats!
CA: And that's where I got outvoted!
HSJ: It was a great performance, it went well. And we got through to the finals at the O2.
CA: It was really good. We were in the top 5 of our category but we didn't win the overall thing. But it was good because we didn't expect to get anywhere.
CG: Did he write about you in Kerrang?
HSJ: I don't know, we never really followed it up.
HSJ: One of the prizes was for our profile… you know when they put your music up on the big website… it's kind of like youTube but just for music.
CA: That will be good – young people interested in music who would not normally hear about about us, our music, our message would get it.
HSJ: But you know… even if you don't go to Church, and don't know about the Christian message, you'd listen to that, and you'd think… well this is about love. You'd be able to identify it. There's so many levels you can identify with the song. If you're Christian, you conceive the Christian message. If you're not Christian, you can understand that love beats in your heart.
CA: And hopefully you'd want to find out more.
CG: So are you going to be at Birmingham [referring to the beatification Mass/celebrations]?
HSJ: He was talking about the first track being Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer.
HSJ: Yeah, I don't know if people'll be able to get up at two-three in the morning, so he says he's gonna make sure that we wake them up.
CG: People are going to be up! My coach from my parish leaves at 1:45 in the morning.
HSJ: I'd heard they couldn't sell all the tickets for Birmingham, and I'm not surprised, because I think a lot of elderly people would struggle with those times. I think Hyde Park is pretty much sold out.
CG: I think the organisers could have done a bit more in terms of outreach. You know… limiting entrance for people who belong only to parishes means that only the people that go to Mass regularly get to hear about the opportunity to go. I feel this is a great opportunity for people who don't go to Church can come to an event like this, and it may bring them back to Church. I think they've really missed out on this opportunity.
CG: This is it. It's a bit of a shame. One of my best friends, who doesn't go to Church, told me she wants to go to Hyde Park, and having completely forgotten that you can only enter if you're with your parish representative, I had to later tell her that she needs to contact her parish priest. But some parish priests might not be so concerned for prioritising outreach to the lost sheep.
HSJ: Yeah, they've been, maybe a bit… too selective about who they give the tickets too, that now maybe some disgruntled and disappointed people think 'no, I'm not going now'.
CG: It's a shame to lose those people, because they're the ones that need it as much as you and I.
CG: Yeah, but I'm really concerned… Sky News told me 'we'd really like to work with you on our online Papal Visit' thing, and I went through their website just before I responded to them, and said to myself 'everything on here is negative!' So when I replied to them, I said I'd be happy to work with you, but you get my perspective, and I think a lot of the stuff on your website is really negative.
CG: I did it in the politest way, but I was telling them like it is about it. I said everything on there's negative, and perhaps the other guy that was recommended to you by the CCN, along with myself can help turn that around and bring a more positive light to the visit. … And I never heard back from them!
HSJ: That's the story of news though. Doom and gloom and horrible stories.
CG: I think it's really 'rake in the ratings and the money'… which is such a shame because they, and otherwise who see things through their eyes miss out on OUR joy. This is something we're shouting about. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity, Pope Benny's here [group laughter], we're gonna celebrate that, and it's too bad you're not gonna hear our voice because you're so concerned about greed and wealth and this aspect of media. So this is why I'm really not sleeping for. (In an actress voice) I'm just gonna make my OWN blog!
CA: Well, lots of people are following!
CG: Hearts Cry. What were your influences? Obviously you really like Lovecats. Cherrie?
CG: There was someone who described your track actually, as very Black Eyed Peas-esque. Who was it again?
CA: I think it was the Independent.
HSJ: Yeah and the cross between BEP and N-Dubz.
CA: Yeah the Guardian said it sounded a bit like N-Dubz.
HSJ: Yeah but I don't think they like to be compared to us!
BG: That'd be so good if you guys could do some double-act! You guys could do some duetting, awww yeah that'd be wicked.
HSJ: If you go on youTube and you type in Pope Benedict piano, you'd get a video of him sitting down and playing the piano. So we're hoping that maybe if we get to play live, he might join us. We'll set a keyboard up for him.
HSJ: Well some of the best synthesizer brands are from Germany… like Kraftswerg… Cornel's the great expert on that.
CG: Korg is German, isn't it?
HSJ: Kord is German. My synth is German – I've got a Sirius.
HSJ: Everything was recorded and produced in the Philippines. There's a great shot of Cherrie as an angel. As you've never seen her before!
CA: I thought we took that part out?!
HSJ: No, we made sure it was put back in – me and Cornel.
CA: I haven't actually seen the video!
HSJ: I tell you how it starts off… She's sitting in a hotel room with a TV remote control bored reading the newspaper, so she turns the TV on, flicks through the Channels. Then up comes the Pope. And that's the start of our track.
CG: What have you guys got planned after the Papal Visit?
HSJ: We're working on an album.
CA: I'm not even looking that far ahead!
CG: How many tracks have you got?
CA: 12. Gerry's pretty much helping us out with many of them.
CG: As a song writer?
HSJ: No, he said he wanted us to focus on the songs which have more faith content in them, so he said with this he'd be more happy to help.
CA: So we've got things like… our own Holy holy.
CG: Have you guys hears of Catholic Underground London?
CG: I'm one of the committee members of Catholic Underground.
CA: That's the one that Ruth was talking about.
CG: Gerry's talked about Catholic Underground? What's he saying?!
CA: He said it's amazing.
HSJ: It's on once a month?
CG: Once every other month… so would you be interested in performing at Catholic Underground London?
HSJ: We've now got 12 tracks. One is the Holy holy, one is the Lord have Mercy, and one is the Lamb of God. So you know.
CG: We'd absolutely love to have you perform at Catholic Underground London.
HSJ: How does it work? Do you have just one band in the night?
CG: We're pretty flexible. If the band can't do the whole set, then we could always have two acts. But it all takes place in Balham which is really closeby.
CA: Catholic Underground is one that we've always wanted to do. We've heard so much good stuff about it from Ruth Totus Tuus and Gerry.
CG: Oh… Ruth... she wanted to interview me at Youth2000 in Walsingham!
CA: We were supposed to open the Youth2000 festival, because we wanted to launch the track there in advance! But we had to do the video!
HSJ: Yeah we spent two days on a plane just to shoot half an hour of video in the Philippines.
HSJ: 'Exceedingly, abundantly…' (nodding over to Cherrie) she's got a great faith.
CG: You guys have both got amazing faith!
HSJ: On Monday morning, if you'd have typed in Ooberfuse on Google, you'd have seen 10 hits.
CA: Last week, it was 0!
HSJ: But once we'd sent the press release, at 9, 10, 11am on the Monday morning, by the afternoon, it had gone crazy.
CA: I was trying to track it… but now I've given up! I was thinking 'oh my gosh… China, Japan, Korea?! Kuwait?!?!?!
HSJ: It was just a click of the button.
CG: The click of a button… that's all it takes.
CA: Paraguay was asking 'where's the video so that we can see!' The video is going to be amazing.
HSJ: You look really grumpy at the beginning.
CA: Oh my gosh, why did you do that?!
CA: Maybe I should have proofed!
HSJ: Too late now. But hey… we're always looking for people [CA: to collaborate with] who want to do what we do musically i.e. express the deeper aspects of their faith through music.
CG: I was on a pilgrimage, and wrote a couple of songs as I wanted to return back to my compositional side of music. I wrote a beautiful track, I'm so shocked it sounds like that, but it's devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the Holy Spirit was with me when I wrote it.
CA: Cool… you have to let us hear it!
CA: We should do Catholic Underground together! HSJ: yeah, yeah!
CG: Well, with this new found fame, it would put you in a position where you'd be able to achieve that. A lot of people will approach you now and say 'Hey, I'm here, what do you think about me?' sort of thing, and you could be that avenue of getting everyone together in a sense.
HSJ: Don't forget, it's not about ego, it's about how can you best get the word out there, in a way that isn't insulting to people's musical abilities. Some worship music can be a bit sub-standard, but you feel you're obliged to go along with it as an act of kindness… I don't think you should have to compromise your musical integrity to enjoy your faith.
CG: Well, I'm really really excited for you guys, and I hope it all goes really well. Thank you for coming to meet me and sharing your story. CA, HSJ: No… thank you!
Ooberfuse are an amazing group, so full of potential, and I really really look forward to seeing a lot more of them in the future. Plus... I owe them a Filipino dinner!


More and more customised and modified BMW i8s are starting to appear all around the world and the latest example courtesy of Wheels Boutique is certainly one of the most impressive.
When left standard, the BMW i8 is an eye-catcher. After all, its design sees flowing lines melded with bold angles and intriguing shapes to create a hybrid sports car straight out of a science fiction film.
With that in mind, only simple modifications are necessary to really make any i8 pop.

Blavatnik Invests $400 million Rocket Internet Takes Off Into Space
Clive Minchom
/ By Clive Minchom /
Billionaire Len Blavatnik, ranked 44 in the Forbes Rich List with a fortune of $16 billion, has invested about $400 million in German venture capital firm Rocket Internet, the Financial Times reported today .
Founded in 2007 by German brothers Alexander, Marc and Oliver Samwer, Rocket Internet has financed and built one of the biggest online fashion stores in Latin America, along with multiple businesses projects in Russia, Asia and the Middle East, the British newspaper reported.
The company said Tuesday it had attracted an extra $400 million in funding, bringing the total raised since the start of last year to $1.8 billion. Blavatnik, a US citizen who was born in the Soviet Union, has provided much of that new capital after selling his stake in BP's Russian venture TNK-BP for $7 billion in March, the paper said.
Rocket Internet, which combines the functions of an early-stage investor and an online retailer, has been described as a "clone factory" and criticized for copying start-up ideas that have been successful in the United States and applying them to emerging markets, the Financial Times said.

Pauliina Remes
Plotinus on Self: The Philosophy of the 'We'.Pauliina Remes - 2007 - Cambridge University Press.details
Plotinus, the founder of the Neoplatonic school of philosophy, conceptualises two different notions of self : the corporeal and the rational. Personality and imperfection mark the former, while goodness and a striving for understanding mark the latter. In this text, Dr Remes grounds the two selfhoods in deep-seated Platonic ontological commitments, following their manifestations, interrelations and sometimes uneasy coexistence in philosophical psychology, emotional therapy and ethics. Plotinus' interest lies in what it means for a human being to be a temporal (...) and a corporeal thing, yet capable of abstract and impartial reasoning, of self-government and perhaps even invulnerability. The book argues that this involves a philosophically problematic rupture within humanity which is, however, alleviated by the psychological similarities and points of contact between the two aspects of the self. The purpose of life is the cultivation of the latter aspect, the true self. (shrink)

Neoplatonism.Pauliina Remes - 2008 - University of California Press.details
Although Neoplatonism has long been studied, until recently many had dismissed this complex system of ideas as more mystical than philosophical. Recent research, however, has provided a new perspective on this highly influential school of thought, which flourished in the pagan world of Greece and Rome up through late antiquity. Pauliina Remes's lucid, comprehensive, and up-to-date introduction reassesses Neoplatonism's philosophical credentials, from its founding by Plotinus through the closure of Plato's Academy in 529. Using an accessible, thematic approach, she explores (...) the ideas of leading Neoplatonists such as Porphyry, Iamblichus, Proclus, Simplicius, and Damascius, as well as less well-known thinkers. She situates their ideas alongside classical Platonism, Stoicism, and the neo-Pythagoreans as well as other intellectual movements of the time, including Gnosticism, Judaism, and Christianity. She also considers Neoplatonism's enduring legacy in the history of philosophical thought, providing a gateway to Neoplatonism for contemporary readers. _Copub: Acumen Publishing Limited_. (shrink)

Plotinus on Starting Points of Reasoning.Pauliina Remes - 2016 - Chôra 14:29-57.details
Plotinus treats certain pre‑philosophical concepts as reliable or promising starting‑points for philosophical study. This article studies the way in which he, in the act of philosophizing, conceives of the passage from an unclear understanding, a kind of pre‑concept, to a better, philosophical conception. What are the sources of this passage? What is the role of data given by sense‑perception? In what way are innate conceptual and cognitive capacities involved? It will be argued that the methodology suggested is a Platonic version (...) of the Stoic appeal to common notions. Moreover, Plotinus seems to maintain several features of the empirical original. The concepts discussed are not primarily introspected or intuited, but seem to result from both experience and from innate tendencies. The bottom‑up approach of scrutinizing the combination of inquiries in the Enneads and the methodological remarks made within these same inquiries, exposes, further, an interesting list of concepts significant for the Neoplatonic theory‑building : freedom, oneness, time and eternity, as well as good and evil.

An electric device which splits direct current into several parts or branches, but allows current only to pass in one direction in each of these branches is called a Battery Isolator. This arrangement enables to chargebatteries, instead of one battery at a time from single source of power not necessarily connecting battery terminals parallelly.
Atleast one battery isolator is found on trucks or any other vehicles as they prevent drains and ensure that starting battery is charged enough and perfect to start the engine. Battery isolators are also used for utility and recreational vehicles, large trucks, airplanes, and boats. The batteries have different purposes; One battery is used for starting and running the engine while other batteries are used to run accessory loads such as instruments, winches, radar, compressors, lights and more. Silicon diodes are used to make battery isolators, which acts like check valves. These diodes allows the current to pass from batteries, but do not allow to pass back from a charging source.
To start the engine with starting battery, it should have enough power supply, which is ensured by battery isolator as well as batteries recharge is taken care of, in case overloads or fails of auxiliary batteries such as; navigator lights or refrigerators. Other than these, battery isolators are also used for large and high power stereos of car and adapts high current loads for off road vehicles.
Battery isolators are useful, as they save a dead or weak battery drains from strong battery charging, when connected together directly, but they are costly and little complex.Moreover, a voltage drop is experienced in circuit between the batteries and charging sources, if a diode type isolator is used.
Having a battery isolator helps in interrupting power before starting to work on a vehicle's wiring. Sparks are produced when one gets a bare contact which may cause fire. Isolators are operated by simply inserting a key into a slot and is turned clockwise, that locks isolator in place and closes the circuit and turning key anticlockwise opens the circuit. Battery isolators differs in capacity, say, a battery isolator intended for a small car cannot handle more load, thus, before fitting isolator, confirming and matching its specifications relevant to the circuit and battery of vehicle is necessary.

Chic, modern, cozy and fun are the first words that come to mind when describing Odori-ko. Owned by siblings Hiro Takei and Rie Akita, the family has roots in Hawaii's restaurant business that extend all the way back to when their parents' first restaurant opened in 1972. The siblings took over and opened Odori-ko at its latest location on Kapiolani Boulevard last October.
According to Takei, an odori-ko is synonymous to a geisha. The literal translation of the word is "a dancer," and following the theme of entertainment, Takei and the rest of the staff at Odori-ko strive to make every meal memorable — full of satisfying food and lots of live music.
The unique eatery offers lunch, two happy hours and dinner Monday-Saturday, and will also be open Sundays starting in February. Additionally, evenings are accompanied by a variety of live music such as acoustic guitar, jazz and piano stylings, as well as soft Hawaiian and contemporary pop.
In a concerted effort to focus more on Hawaii's locals, Odori-ko now offers Oxtail Soup ($14 during happy hour and lunch, $17.95 during dinner). Made the old-fashioned way, Odori-ko's Oxtail Soup is slow-cooked for four hours in a soy-based house broth, guaranteeing lots of flavor and big chunks of tasty meat. The savory dish is served with rice, or patrons may have ramen for an additional $2. Brought to the menu only three weeks ago, Oxtail Soup is just the first of many local favorites that will be added this year.
happy hour: 4:30-6 p.m.; late night happy hour: 10 p.m.-midnight.

Q: Prototype handler not initiating on custom emitter In the following code I'm expecting console.log to output the data that is passed along with the custom emitter 'output' but that's not occurring. From what I can tell Looper.prototype.output is called properly from withing the server handler but it's not responding to the emitter 'output' event that's defined in Looper.prototype.run. Why isn't my output event handler recognizing these events?
var express = require('express');
var http = require('http');
var spawn = require('child_process').spawn;
var util = require('util');
var fs = require('fs');
var EventEmitter = require("events").EventEmitter;
var sys = require("sys");

function Looper(req)  {
    this.req = req;
    EventEmitter.call(this);
}
sys.inherits(Looper, EventEmitter);

Looper.prototype.run = function() {
    var cmd = spawn('./flow',[this.req]); // <-- script that outputs req every second
    cmd.stdout.setEncoding('utf8');
    cmd.stdout.on('data', function(data) {
        this.emit('output',data);
    });
}

Looper.prototype.output = function(callback) {
    this.on('output', function(data) {
        return callback(data.trim());
    });
}

var looper = new Looper('blah');
looper.run();

var app       = express();
var webServer = http.createServer(app);

app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.send(
    "
hello world
"
    );

    looper.output(function(res) {
        console.log('blah');
        console.log(res);
    });
});
webServer.listen(3000);

A: Looper.prototype.run = function() {
    var cmd = spawn('./flow',[this.req]); // <-- script that outputs req every second
    cmd.stdout.setEncoding('utf8');
    cmd.stdout.on('data', function(data) {
        this.emit('output',data);
    //  ^ not what you think it is.
    });
}

I think that this is not what you think it is in that callback.  You need to capture the value of this outside of the callback first.
Looper.prototype.run = function() {
    var self = this; // save this
    var cmd = spawn('./flow',[this.req]); // <-- script that outputs req every second
    cmd.stdout.setEncoding('utf8');
    cmd.stdout.on('data', function(data) {
        self.emit('output',data); // use previously saved value of this
    });
}

Otherwise, this would default to the global object, and when the global object emits an event, noone is listening to it.

Super P-Force Oral Jelly 160 mg. Only $5,72 per pill. Discount Super P-Force Oral Jelly OTC.
By W. Tyler. Kentucky Wesleyan College. 2018.
Section 1 includes the exclusion policies for children in childcare/preschool and schools order super p-force oral jelly 160 mg mastercard impotence female. When the child enrolls in childcare or school purchase 160mg super p-force oral jelly visa impotence natural treatment, parents/guardians should be given a list of exclusion policies and given notice whenever these policies change. Some childcare facilities or schools may have this information in a student handbook or on their websites. Section 4 contains information on what diseases are reportable in Missouri, what information is needed when a report is made to the local or state health department, and a list of local and state health department disease prevention and control resources in Missouri. When a communicable disease of public health importance or an outbreak of illness in a childcare setting or school is reported to the local or state health department, the health department will investigate the situation. Specific prevention and control measures will be recommended to reduce spread to others. These measures require the cooperation of the parents/guardians, child caregivers, children, school health staff, healthcare providers, childcare health consultants, and environmental health inspectors. In these situations, recommendations will be made by the health department regarding:  Notification to parents/guardians, childcare providers, school health staff, and healthcare providers of the problem. Childcare providers and school health staff should be aware that these situations can be very stressful for everyone concerned. Reports to local or state health department Childcare providers or school health staff should notify the local or state health department as soon as an outbreak is suspected. Doing so can reduce the length of the outbreak and the amount of activity required to bring it under control. This manual contains fact sheets on most communicable diseases that you would expect to see in childcare or school settings. Sample line list A line list is a tool that can be used by the provider when the childcare or school is receiving sporadic reports of illness in children from different classrooms. It is a standardized way to analyze data to determine the presence of an outbreak. In a line listing, each column represents an important variable, such as name, age, and symptoms present, while each row represents a different case. Contact information for your local public health agency can be obtained from the following website: http://health. The phrase "Reportable to local or state health department" appears under the title of the disease. If children or staff have been diagnosed with or are suspected of having any of these diseases, contact the local or state health department for consultation before sharing any information about the disease. Bed bugs may be difficult to control without help from a pest control professional. Bed bugs are small (up to 1/4" long) flattened, wingless insects that feed on the blood of people and certain animals. Bed bugs move quickly, feed at night, and hide in small spaces (under bed mattresses, in furniture, etc. Bed bugs feed at night, so you may not be aware that you were bitten, or the bites can be mistaken for bites from another pest (fleas or mosquitoes). They quickly crawl to find a human host, feed for less than 5 minutes, and then hide. Bed bugs like to hide in small places; therefore, it is possible that bed bugs will crawl into luggage, beds, or furniture that is being moved from one place to the next.
Other risk factors Age purchase 160 mg super p-force oral jelly mastercard erectile dysfunction medication non prescription, family history and genetics are all risk factors we can't change buy super p-force oral jelly 160 mg amex erectile dysfunction psychological treatment. However, research is beginning to reveal clues about other risk factors that we may be able to influence. There appears to be a strong link between serious head injury and future risk of Alzheimer's. It's important to protect your head by buckling your seat belt, wearing a helmet when participating in sports and proofing your home to avoid falls. One promising line of research suggests that strategies for overall healthy aging may help keep the brain healthy and may even reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's. These measures include eating a healthy diet, staying socially active, avoiding tobacco and excess alcohol, and exercising both the body and mind. The risk of developing Alzheimer's or vascular dementia appears to be increased by many conditions that damage the heart and blood vessels. These include heart disease, diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Work with your doctor to monitor your heart health and treat any problems that arise. Studies of donated brain tissue provide additional evidence for the heart-head connection. These studies suggest that plaques and tangles are more likely to cause Alzheimer's symptoms if strokes or damage to the brain's blood vessels are also present. The first step in following up on symptoms is finding a doctor with whom a person feels comfortable. There is no single type of doctor that specializes in diagnosing and treating memory symptoms or Alzheimer's disease. In some cases, the doctor may refer the individual to a specialist, such as a: » Neurologist, who specializes in diseases of the brain and nervous system. The workup is designed to evaluate overall health and identify any conditions that could affect how well the mind is working. When other conditions are ruled out, the doctor can then determine if it is Alzheimer's or another dementia. Experts estimate that a skilled physician can diagnose Alzheimer's with more than 90 percent accuracy. Physicians can almost always determine that a person has dementia, but it may sometimes be difficult to determine the exact cause. The doctor will also obtain a history of key medical conditions affecting other family members, especially whether they may have or had Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. Evaluating mood and mental status Mental status testing evaluates memory, the ability to solve simple problems and other thinking skills. The doctor may ask the person his or her address, what year it is or who is serving as president. The individual may also be asked to spell a word backward, draw a clock or copy a design. The doctor will also assess mood and sense of well-being to detect depression or other illnesses that can cause memory loss and confusion.
The functions the app should have such as logging blood pressure or medications can be chosen from a menu buy generic super p-force oral jelly 160mg on-line impotence cream; and the patient can download the app right away buy generic super p-force oral jelly 160mg on line drinking causes erectile dysfunction. Digestible Sensors It is possible to swallow digital devices and tiny sensors for gathering and storing data, transmitting body temperature, heart and respiration rate to an external device. In diseases related to our gastrointestinal system, it could give instant diagnosis by combining the results of lab markers and colonoscopy only by swallowing the device that includes a video camera as well. Digital Literacy in Medical Education The only way to prepare healthcare professionals for the digital technologies coming to medicine is to include digital literacy and the main trends of the future of medicine in the official medical curriculum. Medical students can access the materials in a gamification based e-learning platform, and answer questions about the topics covered in the lectures on a Facebook page for bonus points. A new course, Disruptive Technologies in Medicine, aims at introducing students to the technologies from genomics to telemedicine they will use by the time they start practicing medicine. Expensive laboratory equipment is not so much needed for performing biological experiments; elements of the experiments can be ordered on demand and the data or information required are much more accessible than before. The iGem events made it absolutely clear that the number of opportunities in using biotech for different purposes is almost infinite. The new generation of scientists represented by Jack Andraka leverages the power of already available resources and materials in order to come up with real innovations. Embedded Sensors As an addition to digestable and wearable sensors, tooth- embedded sensors can recognize jaw movements, coughing, speaking and even smoking. Evidence-based Mobile Health The number of medical mobile applications has been rising for years, although persuading users to keep on using the apps is a real challenge. The question is not whether such applications could be used in the process of practicing medicine or delivering healthcare, but which ones and to what extent can be useful, therefore evidence based background is needed for implementing mobile apps in the clinical settings. Full Physiological Simulation What if it is possible to examine the human body with all its physiological functions without experimenting with people? One of the most potential applications being developed in this area is the Virtual Physiological Human, a framework enabling collaborative investigation of the human body. Medical students would be able to study the human body in details like never before understanding the core concepts of how our body works and the pathology of diseases. Another example, HumMod consists of 5000 variables describing cardiovascular and metabolic physiology, among others. Gamification Based Wellness Gamification seems to be the key in persuading people to live a healthy lifestyle or stick to the therapy they have been prescribed to as 63% of American adults agree that making everyday activities more like a game would make them more fun and rewarding. Such wearable gadgets, online services, games or mobile health solutions can lead to better results if gamification with the right design is included. Improving our health or making our job more efficient can and therefore should be fun. Holographic Data Input While better data input solutions arise, hardware will probably not even be needed to add data as screens and keyboards will be projected on the wall or on the table making it simple and accessible everywhere in the clinical settings. Holographic keyboards will make us forget about smartphones and tablets, while the data will be stored only in the cloud. Plenty of laboratory methods and procedures will be available at home which could also mean the detection of diseases at an early stage making intervention simpler and more effective. Patients will bring the data to the doctor on any device they use therefore a new role of digital health data analyst will appear soon. Humanoid Robots Robots built to resemble the shape of the human body might soon play a role in our lives. Due to the shortage of caregivers worldwide, humanoid robots could be able to provide basic care or company for patients.
Limiting by publication type is especially useful when searching for evidence-based studies buy 160mg super p-force oral jelly mastercard drugs for erectile dysfunction list. Another method of limiting searches is by either the Entrez or publication date of a study super p-force oral jelly 160 mg line impotence in the sun also rises. The "Entrez date" is the date that the citation was entered into the Medline system and the publication date is the month and year it was published. Applying limits to a search results in a check-box next to the "limits" space and a listing of the limit selections will be displayed. This is only avail- able after running a search and it will list and number the searches in the order in which they were run. Searches can be combined or additional terms added to an existing search by using the number (#) sign before the search number: e. Once a revised search strategy has been entered in the query box, clicking "go" will view the search results. Clicking "clear his- tory" will remove all searches from the history and preview/index screens. The maximum number of queries held in the history is 100 and once that number is reached, PubMed will remove the oldest search from the history to add the most recent search. PubMed will move a search statement number to the top of the history if that new search is the same as a previous search. The preview/index allows search terms to be entered one at a time using pre-selected search fields, making it useful for finding specific references. After adding items to the clipboard, click on "clipboard" from the fea- tures bar to view the saved selections. To place an item in the clipboard, click on the check- box to the left of the citation, go to the send menu and select "clipboard," and then click "send. By sending to the clipboard without selecting citations, PubMed will add up to 500 citations of the search results to the clip- board. Printing and saving When ready to save or print clipboard items it is best to change them to ordinary text to simplify the printout and save paper so it will not print all the PubMed motifs and icons. To do this, click on "clipboard" on the features bar, which will show only the articles placed on the clipboard. From the send menu select "text" and a new page will be displayed which resembles an ordinary text document for printing. This "send to text" option can also be used for single references and will omit all the graphics. To save the entire set of search results click the display pull-down menu to select the desired format and then select "send to file" from the send menu. To save specific citations click on the check-box to the left of each citation, including other pages in the retrieval process, and when finished making all of the desired selections, select "send to file. It can also be used to send e-mail alerts, apply filters, and other customization features. General searching in PubMed The general search page in PubMed is useful to find evidence that is not coming up on the Clinical Queries search, or when looking for multiple papers by a single author who has written extensively in a single area of interest. Begin by clicking on the PubMed symbol in the top left-hand corner of the screen to display the general search screen (Fig. Simply type the search terms in the query box and your search results will be displayed as before. The search can then be refined by clicking on the term to bring up the detailed display (Fig. Clicking "search PubMed" will execute the search, which will automatically explode the term unless restricted by selecting the "do not explode this term" box. This will probably result in retrieval of about one-quarter of the articles retrieved in the previous search.
