My dad cut down an old crab apple tree in his back yard. He brought me a bunch of it to burn in my fire pit, but I've always wanted to try carving apple wood. Fruit wood is known to be great for carving, and although I have never carved wood before, I thought it would be fun to make a wooden fork and spoon. I decided that the motif should be mythical creatures, so I made a Mermaid Fork, and then I made a Pan Spoon.
I don't have proper wood carving tools, in fact all I have is my Van Hoy Snap Lock, which is a very arty urban pocket knife, not really intended for carving. I'm not exactly sure what it's true function is meant to be, all I know is that an Osteopath I met at a party gave it to me for Christmas after I told him about a very effective herbal complementary care program to help his wife that had cancer, and was going through the whole chemo deal. After his wife kicked cancer, he gave me this very arty knife as a thank you. I love being self educated about beneficial herbs and natural health care. It has brought me the good life that I live. I also enjoy being able to share what I know with others, and I'm always glad when they believe that it helped them.
So when I wanted to make a fork and spoon set, I just did the best I could using my nifty Van Hoy. When it came time to hollow out the spoon, my dad once again came to the rescue with a "U" shaped chisel that he happened to have in his tool shed. It took me several weeks of carving, as my hand got really tired fast. I felt like I was going to have giant palm muscles and look like a freak if I didn't pace myself. I'd be walking around with giant bulging palm muscles... I mean... folk would wonder... "why does he have such large palm muscles?" Weird.
So regardless of my freakishly large palm muscles, here they are, all sanded smooth. I started the Mermaid first, but I moved onto the spoon and completed it's sanding first. As soon as we used the spoon, and washed it, the super smooth finish picked up some tooth from the water, and some detail was lost. So I decided to complete the fork, get it all smooth, and then sand the spoon again so I could take a photo. Now that I have a picture of the completed set, we can get on with stirring food with these things, although their perfect smooth finish will be lost as well as some detail. But I have to use them... ya know?
I'm now working on a really long ladle spoon for stirring the Dutch Oven when I cook in the fire pit. I need a wood spoon that's long enough that I still have eyebrows after I stir the Dutch Oven. I'll take a pic of that when it's done. For now, here's the front and back of my Mermaid Fork and Pan Spoon.
If you'd like to make your own hand carved fork and spoon, I suggest wearing gloves, and put something like a chunk of thick leather in your lap so you don't slip and sink your knife or chisel into your leg. My dad gave me a pair of thick leather gloves that didn't fit him, and each time I slipped and snagged the leather instead of a finger, I looked up at the sky and said, "Thanks Dad."
Cool stuff. Love the hand carved stuff.

As a facilitating body and neutral player in the project, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa stated that the project of building modern toilets facilities aimed at sustainable job creation will begin in Ogun State, David Alaba's home state.
Also, she urged that Project Managers should successfully deliver in record time.
Dr. Nicholas Igwe, the National Coordinator, OPS-WASH, noted that open defecation has been a concern to the Federal Government, which prompted the establishment of the WASH Initiative and a 17-Man Presidential Steering Committee; made up of individuals from the Federal Government, Public and Private sectors.
Dr. Igwe assured that the state-of-the-art waste equipment will not only better the ecosystem by reducing pollution, but will be a great source of biofuel and organic manure, job creation, and lift the economic structure in Nigeria.

Jeff White has been a constant member of the North Eugene football family until he was seriously injured in a car accident.
Eugene, Ore. -- Jeff White has been the North Eugene Highlander's football scoreboard operator for the past 16 years.
He took on the position when his signed played linebacker at North Eugene High School in 2002.
"Operating the scoreboard is not hard to do, but so many people are afraid to make a mistake," said White. "But you know everybody is human. You know you just do the best you can, and after a couple of years you got it down packed."
A former high-school offensive and defensive lineman at his alma mater, Churchill High School, White said there's nothing like the atmosphere inside of the stadium on game day.
White said, "Football is my true love, it's my passion. I mean you go to a Friday night game and the community comes together. The fans are there, the students are there, the bands there, cheerleaders are there."
However, back in March of 2018, he was rear ended and seriously injured by a semi truck.
"I didn't have no idea what happened, I thought maybe the world ended or something," said White. "Cause I never saw him coming in my mirror and he just hit me full blast."
White said at the time of his accident he blacked out, but when he came to all he could think about was his two children. He said he suffered multiple concussions due to the accident, and cannot receive two surgeries he needs until he recovers. White has been mainly homebound since the accident, having to depend on other's to transport him to and from. However, riding in a car is also a challenge for him due to PTSD he has from the crash.
White is going through physical therapy while he tries to recover. Fortunately, North Eugene's athletic director has informed him that he may return to his scoreboard duties when he has fully recovered and is ready.

Vince Carter Net Worth
How much is Vince Carter worth? $100 million
How did Vince Carter earn his money and wealth?
Vince Carter was born on January 26, 1977, at Daytona Beach, Florida. He is an American basketball player for the Sacramento Kings of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m) tall and performs as both a shooting guard and small forward. Carter is one of only seven people ever to play at least 20 seasons in the NBA. A secondary university McDonald's All-American, Carter played for three years at the University of North Carolina. While there, he twice was the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament before being chosen as the fifth overall in the 1998 NBA set up by the Golden State Warriors, who traded him to the Toronto Raptors. 1999 NBA Rookie of the Year Award and Slam Dunk Contest at the 2000 NBA All-Star Weekend was won by him. That summer, he represented the United States in the Summer Olympics and successfully won a gold medal.
Carter appeared as a celebrity in Toronto, and entertained the crowd with his wonderful capability and slam dunks. He earned him nicknames such as "Vinsanity", "Air Canada", and "Half-Man, Half-Amazing". December 2004 marked the date when he was traded to the New Jersey Nets, where he continued to put up big figures and was thereafter, on June 2009, traded to the Orlando Magic. He was traded to the Phoenix Suns in December 2010. In 2011 he joined the Dallas Mavericks and the Memphis Grizzlies in 2014. In 2017, he teamed with the Kings. He was identified in 2000 as Child Advocate of the Year by the Children's Home Society and obtained the Florida Governor's Points of Light award in 2007 for his philanthropy in his home state. Carter was traded along with Ryan Anderson, to the Orlando Magic in return for Rafer Alston, Tony Battie and Courtney Lee on June 25, 2009. Orlando expected Carter would offer middle Dwight Howard with a perimeter scorer who can make his own shot—something the Miracle was missing in dropping the NBA Finals to the Los Angeles Lakers. On December 18, 2010, Carter was obtained by the Phoenix Suns in a six-player business with the Miracle. On January 17, 2011, Carter documented 29 rebounds in a 129–121 win over the New York Knicks.
On December 12, 2011, Carter finalized a three-year agreement with the Dallas Mavericks. On February 13, 2013, in a 123–100 win over the Sacramento Kings, Carter obtained 26 points to beat Larry Bird on the NBA's profession reviewing record, moving him into 29th place. Prior to the 2013–14 year, Carter recognized himself as the Mavericks' 6th man, after Jason Terry left.
Carter managed to bring up his professional total to 23,010 factors, thus becoming the 27th NBA person to move the 23,000-point indicate with a 3-pointer with 2:17 left in the third quarter on March 16, 2014 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. On July 12, 2014, Carter finalized a multi-year deal with the Memphis Grizzlies. Carter showed up in just one of the Grizzlies' first 12 games of the 2015–16 year. On February 24, 2016, with nine points obtained against the Los Angeles Lakers, Carter passed Charles Barkley (23,757) for 24th in profession factors obtained.
On Nov 1, 2016, Carter took part in his 1,278th NBA game, attaching him with A. C. Green for 25th on the NBA's professional record. He also became the 24th player in NBA history to exceed 24,000 profession factors. July 10, 2017, Carter finalized a one-year, $8 million agreement with the Sacramento Kings.

Perhaps 'fired' is the wrong word, as that does imply that these white collar workers did something wrong. The only thing some 12% of Ford's salaried workforce did wrong is get hired by a company that dug itself into a hole relying on strong truck and SUV sales during the 1990s. Now, with consumers avoiding gas-hungry vehicles, the restructuring effort faltering amidst high gas prices, and news that the company has abandoned its goal of returning to profitability in 2009... cutting more salaried workers was inevitable.
Ford CEO Alan Mulally told reporters last week that sales of big trucks and SUVs crashed once gas hit $3.50 per gallon. In April, full-sized pickups accounted for 11 percent of sales. By the second week of May, the number had fallen to just 9 percent. "I don't think we've ever seen a decline week over week like this," Mulally said. "It was clear to us it was time to act." And act they did. While details have not been finalized, Ford expects to eliminate up to 12 percent of its salaried work force (with about 24,300 white-collar workers in the States, this means more than 2,000 positions will be gone). Ford Vice President Jim Farley couldn't sugar-coat the news, but he did try to spread the doom around when he spoke to his employees on Friday, saying "I would expect other car companies to make similar announcements... they have the same issues that we do -- even Toyota."


Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) data provided by Rigaku's Ultima IV multipurpose diffraction system avoid an intense signal from the substrate and provide a strong signal from the layers in the films based on the chosen grazing angle (θ). This provides useful information.
On the other hand, X-ray reflectivity (XRR) data from the Ultima IV (Figure 2, blue oscillating line) provides information on surface roughness, density and the thickness of each layer once the data has been fit by a model (red line)., such as showing all of the peaks from the top polycrystalline Au layer, as shown in Figure 1.

My Passion is for You!
I'm passionate to help men and women like you pursue God's destiny and purpose for themselves. I know what's it's like to be on my own to discover who I was meant to be. It was a long and sometimes painful journey. But, in the process, I learned how to overcome and push through obstacles by believing and accepting God's unique plan just for me. I know what it feels like to be stuck and I know how to get free. I've invested years discovering and living out of my identity in Christ and my one-of-a-kind uniqueness. Let my lifetime of experience and victories help you live out your purpose more quickly! I've successfully coached people in seasons of transition, to those wanting to launch a new business, to those seeking to grow in their spiritual identity, to those who have no idea what they were put on earth to achieve. The issues that keep us stuck are usually rooted in what we believe about ourselves, others, and God. I help you discover and overcome them so you can move forward with the dreams God is calling you to. I've coached men and women, literally all over the world. I'd be honored to coach you too!
I was introduced to Claudia when I mentioned to a friend of mine that I had been considering looking for a life coach. I've lived in Redding for 7 years and my journey has been one of lots of inner healing, Sozo, trauma and grief counseling and just general counseling. As I was sharing with my friend, I was relaying that I felt "stuck" in life. Nothing seemed to be moving forward. We had been looking for a home to buy for over a year, I had a children's book that I had almost finished that had been sitting on the shelf for over 3 years, I couldn't seem to get traction on de-cluttering my closet or my life and I was struggling to find time for things in my life that I love, like painting, working out, etc. Life seemed pretty overwhelming and it was taking everything I had to just focus on homeschooling my 2 boys. I felt that I needed something that would help me point my life towards where I want to go, rather than always looking back. My hope was that Life Coaching might help me do that.
Right away, my friend, reached in her purse, grabbed a business card and handed it to me saying, "You should give her a call. I've been coached by her for over 3 years and it's been so helpful!" As I looked down at the card, it also said that Claudia is a prophetic artist. And right away, I thought, "Of course, she is", because I am too and it would be just like God to bring another creative prophetic artist into my path to be my life coach! I just knew God was up to something and now I also knew that I had to call her. I was terrified. What if I am the one person coaching doesn't work for? And some shame around, "I have been in this environment for 7 years and why haven't I ever had a life coach before?" Claudia set me at ease right away when she said, "Because you are ready now. It's your season now." Of course! I needed to hear that. I AM ready now.
We have met 4 times since early April and each session I've seen significant results! Here are just a few of the revelations, discoveries and breakthroughs that have come.
1. I learned that "FUN" is a lifestyle, not just a reward that's available once all the work is done. And I learned that when I am walking in my destiny, it IS fun!!! This gave me permission to take time to play legos with my kids, even when there was still a pile of stuff to be done!
2. I discovered that an anchored lie of incompetence and "I am not enough" was keeping me completely paralyzed. Claudia helped me remove that anchor, repent from the agreements I had made regarding that belief. Then Jesus told me, "I have put capacities and capabilities inside you that you haven't even discovered yet." WHOA! That went in. Then Claudia had me ask Jesus, what I should do next. His response,"Put your hand in mine and we will unlock this together!" This revelation just lifted something off of me!
3. BREAKTHROUGH! Shortly after this, tangible breakthrough began. We found a house, made and offer and it was accepted! I got my closet cleaned out and started making headway on my clutter! I said yes to starting a new part-time business. And then out of the blue, my friend called and offered to help me finish my children's book and get it published. My friend designs book interiors and covers and we had hired her years before to help us with our book. She said, "work is slow right now and I just can't get your book out of my mind. Would you mind if I published it for you?" WHAT?!!! It went live on Amazon two weeks later.
I haven't had this much forward momentum in my life in such a long time and I truly give credit to Claudia and of course, the Lord. It feels great to be growing and learning along with Claudia while my life is getting freed up for the more! I truly felt caged in and limited before and now I can see that I can really lean back on Jesus, into His embrace, and He will help me with each new step. He has put things inside of me that I will get to discover along the way. I don't have to have it ALL figured out and I can take a step at a time and trust that He has my best interest at heart.
I am confident now that more will be unlocked on the journey ahead! THANK YOU CLAUDIA!!!
After years of declaring myself the most non-creative person I know, I finally embraced the truth – He is creative, therefore I am creative. I am made in His image. I surveyed my life to discover a lifetime of creative expression, but because it wasn't in the form I had labeled creative – painting or drawing, I discredited it. So I set out on a journey to release all of the creativity God has embedded in me in order to bless others and release the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. I am privileged to serve as a prophetic artist in my church during the time of worship and also in our Healing Rooms. There is nothing more rewarding than having my paintings, inspired by the Lord, touch the heart of the ones he had me paint them for! Here's a sample. To view my full offering, click here.
Many people have received prophetic words. Did you know you could receive a prophetic painting? Ask me how.
Do you know your unique gifts, talents, strengths, and passions? Are you wired to become the person you wish you could be or are you creating false expectations for yourself? Do you have a deliberate plan to achieve your goals or desires? Do you want more joy and sense of fulfillment? Do you have dreams but don't know how to reach them? Do you feel confused, stuck, or trapped in your current season of life? Do you wonder what's next? Allow me to help you get unstuck, overcome obstacles, and grow in faith on the journey to living your life deliberately to become the "YOU" God created you to be.
After being in my school counseling position for over 12 years, I was feeling stagnant and discontent in my role. I felt God stirring me to pursue something else, but I wasn't sure of the direction. I wondered, "what is my destiny?" My husband did some research on life coaches, and he gave me the gift of coaching with Claudia for my birthday. After meeting (via Skype) a couple of times, I felt so encouraged and supported by Claudia that I signed up for a coaching package we worked together for about 9 months. Throughout the coaching sessions, Claudia's compassion and wisdom provided revelation and direction in my life (she truly became my Life Mentor) in many unexpected and wonderful ways. We would typically start our sessions focused on the topic of God's calling and destiny for my life, and often times I discovered areas where I was emotionally and spiritually stuck (or fearful!) in ways I didn't realize. Going through the process of coaching with Claudia has truly been a gift! Although we have concluded our sessions, for now, I have found our time incredibly helpful and will definitely reach out to her for additional sessions as seasons change.
Still Unsure? Request a Discovery Session!

New Report Highlights Opportunities to Welcome Underrepresented California Youth onto Voter Rolls
Report Comes as California Launches Program to Preregister 16- and 17-year-olds
Los Angeles, CA - A new report released today by the CALPIRG Education Fund, National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund, and Frontier Group presents the best practices California should adopt to make new preregistration of 16- and 17-year-olds a success. The report, Path to the Polls: Building a More Inclusive Democracy by Preregistering California's Youth, comes out as the state's high school voter registration weeks are in full swing in anticipation of the upcoming deadline before the November election.
"We want all eligible and willing California youth added to the voter rolls on their 18th birthday, at their current address, and armed with knowledge about how to participate in elections," said Emily Rusch, Executive Director of CALPIRG Education Fund. "That's a big undertaking that will require strategic outreach, education, and communication with youth across the state."
Fewer than 16 percent of eligible 18- to 24-year-old Californians cast a ballot in the 2014 elections, and only about half even registered to vote. Among eligible youth, underrepresented population groups were the least likely to become registered voters.
"Latinos and other youth from under-represented communities account for nearly three-fourths of California's 16- and 17-year olds. These youth represent the future of the Golden State's democracy," stated Arturo Vargas, NALEO Educational Fund executive director. "Preregistration is an important first step towards full political participation for eligible young Californians. We urge policymakers, election officials, educators, and youth organizations to work together to ensure that the state promotes this opportunity and makes it accessible to California's diverse population."
Two state bills signed into law established preregistration for 16- and 17-year-olds to vote as soon as VoteCal, the new statewide voter database, is certified by the Secretary of State this fall. Already, voter registration forms have the option for a 16- or 17-year-old to check a box to indicate that they are signing up to pre-register to vote. Upon certification of VoteCal, the California online voter registration form will also include preregistration.
"Preregistration is a proven way to get more youth participating in our democracy," said Alana Miller, policy analyst at Frontier Group. "Research shows that allowing 16- and 17-year olds to preregister to vote increases the likelihood that they will cast their ballots in subsequent elections.
The report's recommendations include:
The state should implement practices that will make voter preregistration accessible to 16- and 17-year-olds. This includes providing voter registration in the places 16- and 17-year-olds commonly go—from the DMV to high schools and GED programs. Opportunities to preregister should also be included in the changes happening at the DMV, as well as in less traditional venues like juvenile detention facilities. Preregistration should also be as digital friendly as possible.
The state should work with schools to improve the voter education curriculum. The California State Board of Education should closely monitor the implementation of the California Department of Education's History- Social Science Framework for curriculum, which was released in July 2016, to ensure that the opportunity for preregistration and voter registration are incorporated into classroom discussions of civic participation, including "Principles of American Democracy," taught in grade 12. The Secretary of State's office should incorporate preregistration into annual High School Voter Education Weeks and encourage more schools to participate in the MyVote California Student Mock Election.
California should develop preregistration strategies that protect the privacy of non-eligible students, yet still provide ways for all students to become civically engaged. If schools decide to conduct preregistration activities within the classroom setting, it is critical that school administrators develop strategies to handle sensitive immigration status issues that protect the privacy of students who are not eligible to preregister.
The state should also take follow-up steps to increase the likelihood that preregistered voters will vote in the first election in which they are eligible to participate. This includes making sure confirmation letters provide clear and simple instructions for maintaining their voter registration records and receiving follow-up texts and emails from officials at least three times.
All preregistration outreach and education efforts should be undertaken in a manner that recognizes the full diversity of California's youth population. For example, the staff of schools or community programs that promote preregistration should reflect the racial and ethnic diversity of the youth the programs are trying to engage.
California should keep data on preregistration outcomes to help policymakers understand how well programs are working and which teens are not being reached. Data should be publicly available and include preregistration rates by age, sex, race and ethnicity.

Joovvin' with Dave Asprey
Joovv recently met up with our old friend Dave Asprey to catch up on health, coffee, and biohacking with the Bulletproof founder and CEO. Check out a summary of our conversation with Dave Asprey below, or listen to the full interview right here.
What is Biohacking?
Dave Asprey is widely known as one of the leaders of the biohacking movement, and he wrote the definition for the word. He intentionally did not copyright the term because he wanted it to be a community concept. In Dave's words, biohacking is, "the art and science of changing the environment around you and inside of you so you have full control of your own biology."
Dave's definition is intentionally broad, so anyone can apply it to their own lives. He wanted to lose 100 pounds and optimize his brain function, and he used the principles of biohacking to do just that. For him, that includes dietary hacks like his bulletproof coffee, and natural health modalities like Joovv full-body light therapy treatments.
Bulletproof Coffee 101
What makes Bulletproof Coffee different than any other cup of Joe? First, unlike most coffee, it's mold-free, and blended from lab-tested beans. And instead of any cream, you use grass-fed butter and brain octane oil. This combination can raise ketone levels in your body, reduce food cravings, and increase your brain's activity.
So where did Bulletproof Coffee come from? Dave got this idea from yak butter tea drinks he had while visiting the remote western side of Mount Kailash in Tibet. With this idea, he returned to California and got to testing. After hundreds of tests, he found grass-fed butter was necessary for the perfect cup.
Biohacking For Improved Sleep
One of the first things you notice about Dave Asprey are the color of his glasses. He has taken to wearing blue-light blocking glasses nearly all day. He explains that staying away from bright lights before bed is one of the most important things you can do to improve the depth and length of your sleep. The other hack Dave has for more restful slumber is to not eat after dark. It's simple, but Dave swears by it.
Red Light Therapy and Biohacking
Dave has been using red light therapy for over 20 years and calls the technology foundational for biohacking. Utilizing light therapy gets to the core of biohacking by changing the environment around you. "Light is a massive signal for the brain, the skin, and every cell in your body," Dave says. "Red light, generally, is going to make you feel better and look better."
What is The Future of Health and Wellness?
Dave believes that healthier people who pay attention to the foods they eat will continue to pull away from the unhealthy herd. Changes will start with our food and with us demanding that the food we eat supports our biology more sufficiently. Another thing Dave believes will change, is our focus on high-quality lighting. The incorporation of red light therapy into our everyday lives will be a game-changer.
These changes to diet and environment are going to actively improve our health and lead to a more sustainable level of health. Dave's very excited about these possibilities.
Conclusion: Dave Asprey Believes Biohacking is the Future of Health
Dave Asprey is brimming with ideas about biohacking, and thinks the future of health is bright for the people who pay attention and implement strategies for better living. Check out the full interview to hear more of Dave's ideas and get tips for how you can biohack your own life and live better.

Perhaps you have recently purchased some investment property. Or maybe you have been running a side business for years. If you have ever wondered whether it would be worth it to incorporate your business by creating a LLC, limited partnership, or S-corporation, read on!
LLCs, Limited Partnerships and S-Corporations offer liability protection. This means that if your company is ever sued or has delinquent bills to pay, the only assets your creditors may collect are those owned by the business. Personal assets, like your home and personal bank account, are kept out of the hands of business creditors.
Tax Savings. The 2018 tax bill offers tax advantages to many pass-through business entities. For example, you may be able to limit self-employment tax and, in some circumstances, take up to a 20% deduction on your business income.
Protection from worst case scenarios.
Have you thought about what happens to your business if you were to become disabled, die, get divorced, or declare bankruptcy? The attorneys at Rochford & Langins will walk you through buy/sell provisions to provide a succession plan for when these "triggering events" occur. Rest assured that no matter what happens, your business will continue to operate smoothly and stay out of the hands of ex-spouses and creditors.
It is critical to formalize the understandings between members within your company. For example, your documents should designate which members of the company are authorized to sign on behalf of the business. You should also plan for what happens if a member wants to sell his interest—must all other members consent to such a sale? These are just a few examples your business should discuss and settle before they become an issue.
There are many statutory and tax differences between an LLC, Limited Partnership and S-Corporation. The attorneys at Rochford & Langins are here to walk you through the incorporation process so that you enjoy all of the benefits a LLC, limited partnership, or S-corporation has to offer. Contact us today to discuss which type of business entity makes the most sense for your business!

Presenting a global and interdisciplinary approach to plant ecology, this much-awaited new edition of the book Plants and Vegetation integrates classical themes with the latest ideas, models, and data. Keddy draws on extensive teaching experience to bring the field to life, guiding students through essential concepts with numerous real-world examples and full-colour illustrations throughout. The chapters begin by presenting the wider picture of the origin of plants and their impact on the Earth, before exploring the search for global patterns in plants and vegetation. Chapters on resources, stress, competition, herbivory, and mutualism explore causation, and a concluding chapter on conservation addresses the concern that one-third of all plant species are at risk of extinction. The scope of this edition is broadened further by a new chapter on population ecology, along with extensive examples including South African deserts, the Guyana Highlands of South America, Himalayan forests and arctic alpine environments.
I have just begun to read this book for my Plant Ecology class but noticed that on page 27 Eduard Suess is referred to as an Australian Geologist when he grew up in Vienna, so maybe Austrian should have been used. I'll continue to make notes if need be. I and my students do like this text.
An interesting and well-written account of how plant communities function, filled with fascinating examples of plants and people. This book would be ideal for one or two semester courses in plant ecology, or just for general reading.

Review: Burst City (1982)
Directed by: Ishii Sogo
Cast: Endo Michirou, Izumiya Shigeru, Jinnai Takanori, Machida Machizo, Muroi Shigeru, Ohe Shinya, Omura Mayumi, Umanosuke Ueda
Not available in Australia on DVD (to our knowledge)
This is a film that has a reputation for being an important stepping stone in the development of Japanese cinema. It is widely acknowledged as being a major influence on filmmakers such as Tsukamoto Shinya and Miike Takashi. So it's probably fair to say that it's an important film…but is it any good? Unfortunately, it just doesn't hold up too well. While it certainly has its moments, Burst City is probably best viewed as a curiosity piece.
At its most basic level, Burst City is just an extended punk rock concert, followed by an enormous all-in brawl. Just add a mustachioed guy in S&M gear, two mysterious bikers wearing body armour, and futuristic cops who look like rejects from a bad 80s sci-fi movie, and that's Burst City in a nutshell. Suffice it to say that there isn't much in the way of a plot. Then again, the point of this film isn't its narrative or characters. This is a film about music and, perhaps more than that, about attitude, and this is an area in which the film excels – Burst City is rough and raw and drips with so much attitude that you'd better get the umbrella out. This is due in no small part to the appearance in the film of several Japanese punk bands of the day who also provide the excellent soundtrack.
The other area in which Burst City really does well is its visual style – the editing is frenetic, and the frenzied camera work looks like someone with an out-of-control caffeine addiction has been let loose behind the lens. The camera swishes about from place to place, sometimes moving so fast that you are no longer able to distinguish objects – everything becomes a swirling mass of colour. It's great stuff to look at, if somewhat migraine-inducing, and is indeed reminiscent of something you'd see in a Miike or Tsukamoto film.
But ultimately, there just isn't enough to sustain the film's 116 minute runtime. As a filmed record of Japanese punk culture, as a concert film, and as a film that influenced the next generation of extreme Japanese filmmakers, Burst City is a roaring success. But sadly, as something you'd sit down to watch and really enjoy, it doesn't work quite as well.

I was recently working on a presentation that I'll be giving to a group of people who, like me, have children with potentially fatal food allergies. The talk is about how to apply the principles of marketing to food allergy advocacy – including how to win over other parents who may object to the policies (such as food-free class parties) that you are requesting. Part of my advice is to accept and address the fact that other parents do not like being told what they can or cannot do. Just like your prospects, they like to feel like they're in control.
Studies of our common cognitive biases show that people tend to overestimate how much they can influence external events. They believe they're in more control than they actually are. This makes them happy, because people love to feel like they're in control.
Use this to your advantage in your company's marketing materials! If you can provide choices, your prospects will feel more empowered and will therefore be more likely to complete the sale. Of course, providing choices is easy when you're selling products that come in a variety of colors, styles, sizes, etc. It's often a lot harder if what you're selling is services.

Provost John Pearson shakes hands with the newly appointed Rowland School of Business Dean, Steve Tanzilli, on Tuesday.
Point Park's School of Business now has a name and a Dean.
Point Park President Paul Hennigan announced Tuesday morning the university is naming its school of business after the school's largest benefactors George and Kathleen White. In addition to naming the school, former school of business co-chair Steve Tanzilli has been named the school's first Dean.
The Rowland School of Business is the first school to be named at Point Park.
The Whites gave the university a bequest of greater than $15 million starting in 2014, the single largest gift in university history. While not originally from Pittsburgh, the Whites adopted Downtown as their home and served as trustees of the university. The school will now be known as the Rowland School of Business.
In his role as dean of the Rowland School of Business, Tanzilli will have broad oversight of all academic programs and will head efforts to solidify the school's connections with the broader business community. He said Tuesday that his goal is to build a "true learning laboratory" within the school.
"As a dean, it's more externally facing so my responsibilities will be to go out there and do some fundraising, go out there and build a brand in the marketplace – really try to connect the Pittsburgh marketplace to our school and our students," Tanzilli said.
A management professional, Tanzilli created the Sports, Arts and Entertainment Management major at Point Park 13 years ago out of the need to legitimize the profession.
That hands-on approach, Tanzilli believes, is imperative in building a successful business curriculum.
Tanzilli said that while the curriculum change does affect current students, the school has worked to assure that all students will graduate on time.
He said he's excited to offer a new curriculum to students based primarily on giving experience and matching the needs of businesses in the region.
"For me, honestly, when people think of the West Penn Building, when people think of the Rowland School of Business, I want them to know that that's where all the new and innovative business activity is coming out of," Tanzilli said.

Mark Smotroff steps inside the king's mind…
TwitterFacebookEmailPrintLinkedInPinterestSMSWhatsApp
How can a head hold so many things?
All our life, all our love, all the songs it sings
For some of us, the simple prospect of a new release by The Flaming Lips has ascended to a special stature. When I was growing up, new records released by The Beatles (and their offshoots), Jethro Tull, The Who, Pink Floyd and Yes were bonafide events for music fans. In 1979 I remember waiting in line for the Sam Goody record store to open so I could be one of the first to get Elvis Costello's then new album Armed Forces with the bonus limited edition 7-inch single inside. Fast forward to the 21st Century, Record Store Day has become the launchpad for many like-minded limited edition archival joys. However, not many bands have used the holiday as time to release new music.
In the world of rock 'n roll, The Flaming Lips are one of the first that I am aware of to do so — and I might be wrong, so mea culpa if I missed something. Regardless, I couldn't be more pleased about this: they issued a vinyl-only edition of a new album that won't be officially out until July! Kings Mouth, Music and Songs is quite epic.
Flaming Lips' front man Wayne Coyne has been teasing the development of this album for months now on his Instagram feed and its been fascinating to watch. For some perspective, some details pulled from the band's website offers insight as to what this new music is about:
"The album is also just one aspect of a much larger project from the Flaming Lips and frontman Wayne Coyne. The music on King's Mouth parallels that in Coyne's immersive art installation of the same name in which viewers crawl into a large metallic head to experience a music-driven LED light show. The new album will also be accompanied by a book… which Coyne wrote and illustrated.'The King's Mouth immersive/child-like qualities are born from the same spark and womb as The Flaming Lips live performances" Coyne said of the overall project. 'The King's Mouth adventure was made for humans of all sizes ages cultures and religions.'"
The Flaming Lips' diverse audience can sometimes be split when it comes to their allegiances: some bailed after the band left behind its edgier punk-fueled sound for more commercial pastures. There were fans who felt the band lost something when guitarist Ronald Jones left. And then there are people like me who came on board amidst their mainstream ascent to stardom, relishing their blissful blend of mad psychedelic freakout, pop music accessibility, forward looking production aesthetic and sense of wonder.
Bottom line (for me at least) is that these guys write some great songs and have embraced a sense of musical adventure I've not seen since the heydays of bands like Yes and XTC. I'll put it this way: if you liked their albums The Soft Bulletin through At War With The Mystics and the more recent Oczy Mlody, you will probably like this one.
Still, you may wonder: do I like the album? I do! Very much so. A concept album, Kings Mouth, Music and Songs plays a bit like a soundtrack to a film that has yet to be made (and I mean that in the best possible way). There are rocking moments. There are moments of weird whimsy. You'll hear the ominous clang of foggy cathedral bells. There is also intermittant dialogue provided by none other than Mick Jones (yes, of Big Audio Dynamite and The Clash!) who tells the story about a Queen who dies upon the birth of giant sized baby who becomes King.
I'm still figuring out the whole tale but at its heart this album seems to explore the wonder of the human mind and all the amazing things we can do with it. This is summed up in the final track "How Can A Head," a song which has tapped into a magical epic musical space with an angelic soaring vocal cadence worthy of no less than Jon Anderson of Yes closing the album:
"How can an eye see so many things?
All the sky that goes so high, the face of human beings
And how can an ear hear so many things?
Children laugh, mothers cry, all the bells will ring"
There are so many great melodies and hooks here. "How Many Times" plays off a fun sample of numbers being counted (loosely recalling the playful joy of their 2006 hit "The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song"). "Mouth Of The King" taps into some of that spine tingling beauty the band found in its brilliant hit "Do You Realize?" (from Yoshimi, a song later named the official rock song of their home state of Oklahoma!).
The standard weight metallic gold vinyl pressing is quiet and well centered.The music sounds remarkably rich and full bodied for an album that was probably made in the digital realm so I am happy on that front. The album is not yet up on Tidal but when its released keep an eye out as most of the band's Warner Brothers era albums are there in MQA format (click here to jump to their artist page)
Anyhow, I could go on but I think you get the idea that I like this album a lot. Its a rich layer adding to the band's reinvention and evolution that began with Embryonic…through the dark of The Terror… into tempting soundtracks (Peace Sword, Spongebob, Christmas On Mars) …. limited edition collaborative Heady Fwends experiments … epic album recreations (Sgt.Pepper, Dark Side Of The Moon, etc.) …. and onward to the emerging light of 2017's Oczy Mlody. So this new album, Kings Mouth, Music and Songs, is a logical step in the band's direction.
"In other words, don't you stop
(You gotta keep on believing)"
I'm really looking forward to see how The Flaming Lips bring Kings Mouth, Music and Songs to life on stage. Heck, I now have a hankering for a road trip to Oklahoma to see the full Kings Mouth art installation there.
"C'mon, climb inside and see the stars, the storms, the swirls and other worlds that are still there in his head… still there in his mind…"

A BRIT businessman accused of being a "serial killer" by Vladimir Putin after fighting an anti-corruption campaign has been arrested in Spain on a Russian arrest warrant.
The chief executive of Hermitage Capital Bill Browder, 54, was detained earlier this morning in Madrid.
He had previously told the Commons' Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee he was at "high risk" of death at the hands of Russians.
Mr Browder, who was born in the US but became a British citizen in 1998, has led a campaign calling for justice over the death of Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky.
Mr Magnitsky died in prison in 2009 after uncovering a huge fraud - said to be in the region of £174million - amid claims he had been tortured.
A Home Office minister called it an "atrocious murder".
Mr Browder told The Sun in March the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury should be treated as a "Kremlin hit" because Mr Skripal was considered a Russian traitor.
He said: "Vladimir Putin has publicly said that he kills traitors wherever they are in the world.
Mr Browder had lobbied the US congress to pass the "Magnitsky Act", a law which deeply angered Vladimir Putin punishing alleged human rights abusers.
Mr Putin once labelled him a "serial killer".
Last year Russia's investigative committee alleged that Mr Browder was behind the deaths of three men in connection with the fraud case.
He was sentenced to nine years in prison by a court in Russia last year, on fraud and tax evasion charges in his absence.
Interpol refused to enforce a similar arrest warrant in 2013 against Mr Browder, saying it was "political in nature".
In February, despite travelling on a British passport he was detained in Switzerland at the behest of Russian authorities.
Mr Browder is the author of a book How I Became Putin's No1 Enemy on fighting corruption in Putin's Russia.
not to honour the Russian bid to have him arrested and extradited.
He tweeted just before 10.30am: "Good news. Spanish National Police just released me after Interpol General Secretary in Lyon advised them not to honour the new Russian Interpol Red Notice.
The 54-year-old, who is now based in the UK, added: "Ironically the reason I'm in Madrid is to give evidence to senior Spanish anti-Russian mafia prosecutor Jose Grinda about the huge amount of money from the Magnitsky case that flowed to Spain.
Foreign secretary Boris Johnson tweeted that he had spoken with Mr Browder, adding that he was "very glad" the British businessman had been released.
Mr Johnson added: "Moscow should concentrate on bringing those responsible for the murder of #Magnitsky to justice."
EU Brexit co-ordinator Guy Verhofstadt, responding to Mr Browder's Twitter messages, wrote on the social networking site: "Worrying that autocratic Russia can get democratic Spain to go after someone fighting to expose Putin's crimes & those responsible for #Magnitsky's murder. @BillBrowder's rights must be protected @marianorajoy."

RSPCA statement on the Lords decision on Brexit Trade Bill/imports and animal welfare
Poultry welfare
UK - The RSPCA applauds the Lords decision regarding upholidng UK animal welfare standards
"While no vote has been cast on the Trade Bill we are pleased the government has indicated they are willing to make concessions to make sure the UK's domestic animal welfare standards are protected. This is an encouraging step in the right direction for animal welfare and UK farmers' livelihoods post-Brexit, but we're not yet past the post and the Minister now needs to deliver these changes. We would urge the Government to turn its words into action, and commit to ensuring that animal products imported into the UK meet our own high welfare standards after we leave the EU.
"The UK currently bans products such as chlorinated chicken, hormone-treated beef and cruel farming practices such as the conventional battery egg cage or pig sow stalls. Unless we uphold these standards when we leave, we face a race to the bottom, where price, not quality, influences what ends up on our supermarket shelves.
"The RSPCA would like to see the government's commitment to protecting the UK's domestic animal welfare standards enshrined in the Trade Bill and all current animal welfare laws, at the very least, to be kept to the same standard, including:
All animals to still be recognised as being sentient
Free trade agreements that prohibit products being imported with lower welfare standards
Improvement in key areas of animal welfare, such as long distance live transport, food labelling, trade of endangered species and puppy imports.
Long-term profitability in the egg industry: reducing feather pecking and disease
The shift to cage-free production has become a reality for the egg industry around the globe, from the Americas to Asia.
How to depopulate end-of-lay hens responsibly
High standards in animal welfare should extend to hens at the end of their laying careers just as much as to younger birds.
Farming in focus: Ashleigh Bright, FAI Farms
Founded in 2001 on Oxford University farmland, the Food Animal Initiative (FAI) has grown into a global consultancy operation with additional locations in Brazil and the USA.

We humans are a curious lot! We have within us the capacity to hate our fellow humans enough to destroy them, and the technology to destroy our entire planet. And yet we can also be compassionate, understanding and caring for those less fortunate. The incredible suffering and loss of human life for both the victors and the vanquished during World War II are well documented. The reconstruction of the devastated postwar Japan involved many changes in various aspects of Japanese society under American influence. One of these was in medical education and care. In this complex process of regrowth, former foes became friends.
The initiatives undertaken after 1945 resulted in the remarkable nation which is Japan today. Improvements in medical education and care were a priority because Japan at that time was years behind Western nations. There was a pressing need for help. Typical of Americans, various private organizations sent medical experts to Japan in a series of medical missions.
Thus it was that one of a number of pharmacologists, Maurice Seevers, was asked to participate. Dr. Seevers specifically was asked to advise the Japanese on teaching and research on the newer medicines then available in the United States. This he did with energy, enthusiasm, and showmanship, making an incredible impression. He initiated the collection of many precious drugs as gifts from American pharmaceutical and chemical companies and their distribution in Japan. In 1951, his demonstration that a morphine-induced coma is antagonized by nalorphine astounded Japanese students, pharmacologists, and administrators alike. Young Japanese pharmacologists wanted to learn more of American pharmacological advances.
So began the story of the Seevers Michigan Fellows. This book documents the impact Michigan had on them, and their impact on those Michigan professors with whom they interacted as postdoctoral fellows in pharmacology It should be told if to no one else then at the very least to the persons involved. This book is written especially for them. All of us have been rewarded for our interactions and cooperation. It is hoped that this program may continue into the twenty-first century Perhaps there is a lesson to be learned for all. You, the reader, can be the judge.


The PC version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is getting a few big additions in a test patch this week.
It's not yet clear when the patch will be available on PUBG test servers, but developer PUBG Corp. communicated some of the changes ahead of time.
The first and biggest change being introduced is bullet penetration. Unfortunately, it's not the material penetration we were hoping to get. Instead, this will specifically affect vehicles and body limbs.
PUBG Corp. did not explain exactly how this new system is going to work, but it did promise to reveal detailed patch notes in the next couple of days.
Vehicle penetration is a concept completely new to PUBG. As it stands, you can do enough damage to a car to make it explode, or you can try to hit the driver and passengers through the windows. That said, it's limb penetration that's the more interesting addition.
Prior to the launch of version 1.0, the game's ballistic mechanics were overhauled. The same update also brought with it a new damage model that split the body into different damage regions.
One of the parts that took the least damage were arms, which is important because arms can, and often do, block chest and headshots.
This was intentional, obviously, but it seems PUBG Corp. has now realised that having an arm in the way shouldn't negate head or torso shots – at least not completely.
The update also brings a couple of social features like voice chat support in the menu, and an in-game friends list separate from Steam's. All of this will require testing, however, hence the initial test server launch.

Susanna Zierler
The cell biologist Susanna Zierler has a postdoc position at the Queens Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. The focus of her scientific interest lies in cell physiology and neuroimmunology.
Susanna Zierler (middle) with the renowned electrophysiologists Andrea Fleig and Reinhold Penner Source: S. Zierler (all)
Even as a child I was magically drawn to the "unknown", and this inborn curiosity has proved useful for my life as a scientist. When I started my studies in biology in Salzburg and my passion for research grew, I soon realised that my next step would lead me to the USA, where the bulk of "knowledge generation" occurs. And now, a year and a half into my stay at one of the leading laboratories for electrophysiology and cell signalling, I still have not fully realised my luck. Time flies, but I am also looking forward to returning to Austria with a wealth of valuable experience.
Place of Research
After my final oral exam I went on a long trip that also took me to Hawaii after stops in Asia and New Zealand. Here I paid a visit to the renowned laboratory headed by Reinhold Penner and Andrea Fleig, before returning home via California. Both have studied and done research with Erwin Neher, Nobel Laureate and founder of the patch-clamp technique. I was overwhelmed by the cordiality with which they both welcomed me into their team even before it was decided that I would actually move to the other side of the globe. Their kindness and the fact that my partner Herbert accepted a postdoc position as a physicist at the University of Hawaii facilitated my decision.
Punchbowl is the name of the volcanic crater near which our research lab is located, and there is no better description for the multicultural mix that has developed in Hawaii over centuries. There is a constant coming and going on the islands, creating a flux that is sometimes difficult to keep up with. The people here have approached us with a mix of kindness, helpfulness and curiosity that is remarkable and infectious. This openness and internationalism, which is also perceptible in the scientific arena, has enabled us to gather unique experience and establish contacts that will prove invaluable for our future professional and personal development.
"You have to try the impossible to achieve the possible" (Herman Hesse). This motto has accompanied my life and helped me not to be discouraged when attempts to verify hypotheses or finding answers to my questions seemed hopeless. Although science has supplied many answers, our knowledge is still full of huge gaps. It is my aim to make a contribution to reducing or perhaps even closing some of these gaps. I hope that the answers we have found so far and are still going to find will also result in high-quality international publications.
The incredible diversity of the flora and fauna in the tropics, swimming with dolphins in Kealakekua Bay, watching monk seals take a sunbath, hearing the crackling of a bamboo forest in the wind, seeing giant turtles glide by, surfing a wave towards the shore, feeling the Aloha spirit, witnessing how an Afro-American who grew up in Hawaii could be elected President of the United States, looking through a microscope to observe a mast cell releasing its granules or watching an ion flux develop at the oscilloscope – all of these are unforgettable impressions I would not have missed for the world and which I am going to cherish forever.
