Besides the very obvious but often neglected aspects of life that one is grateful for: love, friendship, shelter and security, it is a blessing to be able to draw. Drawing is a way to slow down, to really look and see. It is the artistic soul's equivalent of a spa day. That is why I am very excited about the The Morgan Library and Museum's two drawing shows which are up now. One is of Leonardo's works, the other consists of the Morgan's collection of 18th century Venetian drawings. Looking forward to seeing both of these on my birthday. Closer to home beginning in late January the Princeton University Art Museum will be mounting an exhibit of some of their Italian drawings. Although the exhibit is a departure from the traditional old master works, the description of the Brush Writing in the Arts of Japan show at the Metropolitan Museum pertains very well to the classic draftsperson of the Western world. For a fresh take on drawing, the Newark Museum's Papyraceous is an offbeat look at works on paper. At this time of year, when multitasking and distraction is even more pronounced than usual, it is wonderful to quietly observe and linger.
Jacquie had several Hummel figurines. These intrigue me the way old movies about warm, loving families do. I can relate to a family like the one in Donna Tarrt's The Little Friend: depressed, fragmented, mostly selfish. But bright-eyed, sappy children: I just don't get them. When a bunch of the figurines came to my house broken, they made more sense. I have been a little despondent since returning from Florida having helped my mother with her tangled finances. As usual, books and art have helped me climb out of it. Aminatta Forna has written a masterpiece in The Hired Man. Its main character, Duro Kolak, embodies the loss, grieving and emotional bewilderment of war. We feel love and tenderness for him right away, and his tragic story, and the lives of his fellow townspeople as well as its animals, haunt us. Forna has done everything right, from the characters, the cultural dissonance between the privileged and those who have not and the petty dislikes that turn into hatred during wartime. Just so good. I have also been reading about George Bellows and Henry Darger, two artists with nothing in common, personally or professionally. One, a he-man athlete, who depicted boxers and the changing world around him, the other a queer and sensitive soul who created an alternate universe to help him overcome his Dickensian childhood. Elledge's biography of Darger is a compulsive read.
I was horrified one day when my sister did publicly what I usually do privately. She sniffed the pages of a book she had picked up at the library. Both of us seem to share a love for books. Not just for the written words but the make up of the book itself. We skim the pages with our fingers as we read. We look at each cover, each spine, literally getting a feel for what the tome will contain inside. In my case, I think my love for the book as object has a lot to do with being an artist. Artists develop a love for materials, for the physical presence of paint, wood, canvas, ink, graphite, charcoal, etc. But this desire to want to handle books is more than that.
I prefer the sort of love that is not messy. I find drama to be wasteful. Yelling is verboten. My idea of love is akin to my mothers' constant pronouncement that children should be seen but not heard. So, love for me means internally keeping a constant vigil of longing. This is quite easy to do. I just don't allow myself to desire too much, but I do allow myself to desire just enough. For each person this is of course defined differently.
This long preamble is a way to introduce my love of sketchbooks. Sketchbooks seem to define bibliofeelia best. They provide the inner workings of a creative mind in tangible, loving, deeply personal ways. Take the sketchbooks of Derek Jarman as discussed and illustrated in the beautiful Thames & Hudson production edited by Stephen Farthing and Ed Webb-Ingall. Jarman would buy several books at a time. These were beautiful to begin with. But, as an indication of his subversive ways, he would put a layer of paint on each sumptuous leather cover before using the book. To someone with my level of repression this is tantamount to sacrilege, but it fits in perfectly with Jarman's work. There are pages filled with photographs, feathers, dried flowers, printed ephemera, and shells. But what really brings these beautiful books to life, and into our hearts, is the excitement displayed in the writings and drawings. The marks themselves are alive. This is true for Jarmans' marks as well as within the writings of others, which he has pasted onto his pages. We become aware of the filmmaker's money woes, his health concerns, and his relationships with people in his immediate community. The sketchbooks show a man deeply involved with the world, and the people around him. He is influenced by them, as well as the great artists whose works he encountered, including Caravaggio and Goya.
What a privilege to examine this man's warm and creative mind in one of the most personal ways possible. Pure, unadulterated bibliofeelia, without any mess or fuss. No gloves required.
A few weeks ago I had visitors who wanted to see Lambertville. We went to The People's Store, a wonderful place filled with curiosities. I spotted a decrepit, once velvet-covered photo album. Seeing its' contents, and in spite of my wish to save money, I knew I had to have it. One of my kind visitors asked if she should save me from myself, but, since I knew I didn't want to be saved, I said no. Now I am the proud owner of many old photographs containing visages of unknown people. I painted this woman first because of her unusual face. I wonder if the elderly woman is one of her ancestors: a forbidding face if ever there was one. In fact, she reminds me of someone I admire, aged many years. I am anxious to paint her also.

Chordoma
URL of this page: https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/chordoma/
A chordoma is a rare type of cancerous tumor that can occur anywhere along the spine, from the base of the skull to the tailbone. Chordomas grow slowly, gradually extending into the bone and soft tissue around them. They often recur after treatment, and in about 40 percent of cases the cancer spreads (metastasizes ) to other areas of the body, such as the lungs.
Approximately half of all chordomas occur at the base of the spine (sacrum), about one third occur in the base of the skull (occiput), and the rest occur in the cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back), or lumbar (lower back) vertebrae of the spine. As the chordoma grows, it puts pressure on the adjacent areas of the brain or spinal cord, leading to the signs and symptoms of the disorder. A chordoma anywhere along the spine may cause pain, weakness, or numbness in the back, arms, or legs. A chordoma at the base of the skull (occipital chordoma) may lead to double vision (diplopia) and headaches. A chordoma that occurs in the tailbone (coccygeal chordoma) may result in a lump large enough to be felt through the skin and may cause problems with bladder or bowel function.
Chordomas typically occur in adults between ages 40 and 70. About 5 percent of chordomas are diagnosed in children. For reasons that are unclear, males are affected about twice as often as females.
Chordomas are rare, occurring in approximately 1 per million individuals each year. Chordomas comprise fewer than 1 percent of tumors affecting the brain and spinal cord.
Changes in the TBXT gene have been associated with chordoma. An inherited duplication of the TBXT gene identified in a few families is associated with an increased risk of developing a chordoma. Duplications or increases in activity (expression) of the TBXT gene have also been identified in people with chordoma who have no history of the disorder in their family. In these individuals, the changes occur only in the tumor cells and are not inherited.
The TBXT gene provides instructions for making a protein called brachyury. Brachyury is a member of a protein family called T-box proteins, which play critical roles during embryonic development. T-box proteins regulate the activity of other genes by attaching (binding) to specific regions of DNA. On the basis of this action, T-box proteins are called transcription factors.
The brachyury protein is especially important for the early development of the spine. In human embryos, a structure called the notochord is the precursor of the spinal column. The notochord disappears before birth, but in a small percentage of individuals, some of its cells remain in the base of the skull or in the spine. In rare cases these cells begin to grow and divide uncontrollably, invading the nearby bone and soft tissue and resulting in the development of a chordoma.
Duplications and increases in expression of the TBXT gene both result in the production of excess brachyury protein. The specific mechanism by which excess brachyury protein contributes to the development of chordomas is unclear. Some people with chordoma do not have changes in the TBXT gene, and the cause of the disorder in these individuals is unknown.

TBXT
When development of a chordoma is associated with a duplication of the TBXT gene inherited from a parent, one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to increase the risk of the disorder, which is an inheritance pattern called autosomal dominant . People with this duplication inherit an increased risk of this condition, not the condition itself.
Other cases of chordoma are sporadic, which means they occur in people with no history of the condition in their family.

Featured Interviews Must Reads Tournaments
By Marcos "El Cubano Loco" Blanco on January 1, 2020 at 10:00 am
Infexious gets technical about Street Fighter V!
One of the strongest albeit underrated players coming out of the United Kingdom, Cygames Beast's DC "Infexious" Coleman has been making waves in the Capcom Pro Tour since the Street Fighters IV days and now really coming into his own and taking names in Street Fighter V for the past three years.
Finishing in 4th place in the European standings and most recently, placing himself 2nd at Kumite, Infexious might have seemed to come out of nowhere for some who are new to the scene, but if you've followed him for a while, one can find out that his fighting game roots go a bit deeper.
I sat down with Infexious the day before Evo 2019 to talk about his surprising humble beginnings in the fighting game community as well as his life outside of it. He also goes into detail about what kept him from traveling more to compete in his early days, his competitive mindset, the UK fighting game scene, and his thoughts going into Capcom Cup 2019.
MB: First of all, I have been following your career since you first appeared on the CPT with Hugo in Ultra Street Fighter IV back in 2015. I just found out recently through the magic of YouTube that you've actually been playing competitively since Vanilla SF4 using Ryu, Sagat, and sometimes Akuma.
It seems like people are learning more and more about you lately but somehow you have been somewhat of an enigmatic player all this time. How long have you been playing fighting games?
Was Street Fighter IV your first competitive game and what drew you to it? Was there a specific moment or realization that made you decide to pursue a pro gaming career in competitive fighting games? If so what was it and why?
Infexious: Dead or Alive 4 got me started. Street Fighter IV was the game I started traveling for and diving into it. When I started playing Street Fighter IV, it was very different from Dead or Alive 4 since it was a 2D fighter. I never played 2D fighters competitively up to that point.
Applying frame data, spacing, pokes, and all types of things were quite tricky because to me, Dead or Alive is a rock-paper-scissor game, and Street Fighter seemed so much more complex than that. It was really interesting to get into…to put loads of times into understanding, learning it, reading loads of stuff online, and watching lots of videos.
I played a ton and I was beating people. I was winning a lot. Then I played players like Alioune from France. He was a guy who I just couldn't beat like I would beat other people. I would play him for hours and hours.
All of that got me stronger again so I would play and play and I thought, You know what, I got to go to tournaments and see. I would go to my local tournaments and win those. Then I thought, I've got to travel out. I would go to London and play loads of people.
Whilst that was all going on, I was still doing the studying, but then as times developed and esports started to become a thing and there were opportunities because gaming was growing so fast, I thought, you know what, this is something that if I've been put my all into it. I could potentially do some great things in it. So I would give myself the opportunity when the stars aligned and things became available.
MB: What are some of your other hobbies and interests? Any other games you enjoy playing other than fighters?
Infexious: I used to play CVS2 when I was younger. I played the Tekken games when they first came out. Dead or Alive 4 was the first game that I played where I started to understand what frame data was–that there something deeper to fighting games than just doing special moves and pressing buttons. I've played a couple of shooters like Gears of War and Call of Duty, but never took them that seriously.
MB: What's the meaning behind the "Infexious" handle?
Infexious: It's a combination of my first and middle names. It's shortened because people often butcher my first name.
MB: You have a very patient playstyle that seems to stem from your Hugo play in USF4. You are also very stoic with a stoneface look that rivals that of Momochi and Daigo from back in the day and you rarely, if ever, are fazed when you lose a game or a full set.
Was this level of patience self-taught or nurtured over time or have you always been like this?
Infexious: I think it actually stems from me observing how a lot of the top-level Japanese players played very early on in Street Fighter's lifespan when I first started to find out about tournaments and how long the series has been played at a competitive level.
So I watched those players and saw how focused they were, how calculated they were and the things that they were doing and so I thought that I need to implement this into how I play if I wanted to compete at a higher level.
MB: Who are some of your biggest rivals and gatekeepers in competition? Who or what do you see as your biggest obstacle at Evo 2019 and what's your mindset and gameplan going into this tournament?
Infexious: There are many, many obstacles. This is one of the time periods where you really cannot underestimate anyone. There are top-level players who you know to look out for and then some of the dangerous players are the ones you don't know who to look out for.
You don't even know their name! (laughs) One of the great things about tournaments now is that you can see your path on Smash.gg as to who you may have to face.
Well when you come from Europe, the gatekeepers are the three kings of the region: Phenom, Problem X, and Luffy. They've been on top of the European scene for many years. So if you want to become one of the best players in Europe, you have to take on those three.
Luffy has been my demon for the past year. I've played Phenom and got the better of him a couple of times. Problem X as well….we played recently where he won one set, I won one set, and then he won one set. I've been able to compete with them, but they're the main players that anybody should be focusing on in Europe if you want to compete at the top level.
On the world spectrum, you've got your Punks, the Tokidos, the Fujimuras, the Bonchans. There's a whole host of different players, characters, and play styles that you've got to be ready for if you want to compete at a high level.
MB: What have been some of your biggest mental hurdles to improve on as a competitor? Was there a certain moment or match where a player mentally cracked you even if you don't show it? What was your saltiest loss? You don't seem fazed ever!
Infexious: I don't know when the point was, but one hurdle that comes to mind is going into the losers bracket in a tournament and still playing to the best of your ability. When you go into the losers bracket, especially in this game, it can mentally shock you and take its toll. Being put in the losers bracket puts you at a significant disadvantage.
So being able to fight out of it is a hurdle. There have been times where I've been able to do that which I'm proud of. It's an ongoing thing where you see some of the best players do it and climb out of it.
I try not to be (laughs). In the moment, I know that whatever happens, happens now, it's time to review afterward. So there's no point in getting emotional, getting thrown off-center during the match. Let it play out, apply what you prepared, and then after that, you go back and review and you see what was the right strategy and what were they doing in response. All the emotion comes out afterward when you sit down and review.
I'm very rarely salty after a loss. The one that sticks out in my mind was Evo 2018. I dropped a winning combo against Poongko's Kolin last game and round and that's how I got put into the losers bracket. That one was a bit frustrating, but it doesn't play on me because I just think that happens. If you're a competitor you will drop the winning combo.
Everyone is a human being. I just see it as part of the road, part of the journey. If you're consistent in a tournament, those drops won't even matter. The next tournament you'll do well and the next one you'll do well and maybe this one you got unfortunate. I just don't dwell on it because it's not going to make me better.
MB: Looking at your past results, you placed consistently in every tournament you've entered even though they are so few in number. What prevented you from traveling to other events outside of the UK and Europe earlier in your career?
Infexious: For years, I first studied for a law degree and that was back in 2008/2009 when Street Fighter IV was coming out. I then worked at a law firm for a few years. It wasn't quite my thing so I went back to the university to get a teaching degree. So I was doing all of that alongside putting my all into gaming.
It was tough. They require a lot to get through those qualifications, but I managed to juggle both and still be able to compete at a good enough level to put my name out there.
MB: What is the competitive scene in the United Kingdom like now? Are you still able to get solid practice both offline and online? Who are some of your training partners other than your CYG teammates?
Infexious: It's actually quite good. There are a lot of events situated in the south. I live in Manchester and a lot of the events are in London. So I don't quite get the chance to go down and compete in as many as events as I'd like to.
But there is a thriving scene in the north where we have events starting around small scenes and sometimes people come together to compete there. In London, there are a lot of weekly events that go on so there's a lot of competition.
I'm a strong advocate of online play. I've had an offline scene….back in the days of early Street Fighter IV, I used to go to my local and play in tournaments there. It was a good enough scene and it did improve my ability to compete in a tournament environment, but the vast majority of my experience, my knowledge, my skills have been acquired playing online.
Playing strong players online, grinding, playing battle lounges with a group of players…that has been the cornerstone of my development. If you train the right way and with the right opponents, online can be just as good as offline. Offline prepares you for tournaments. That's the experience you can't get online.
I play with Gunslinger and Hurricane. A lot of UK players play online. Thankfully, connections between certain regions in Europe are very stable. We get some good connections with people from France and anywhere in the UK.
MB: At the beginning of SFV, you were playing both Zangief and Necalli with great success. Now it seems you're committed to maining Zeku and so far your tournament results in 2019 have not only been consistent, but it seems like you're placing higher.
Why did you decide to switch to Zeku and which matchups do you think he's the strongest and weakest in? Do you still keep Necalli or Zangief in your pocket just in case things don't go well with Zeku?
Infexious: I'm slowly fazing Necalli out. I've played him in certain matchups where I felt a little bit more comfortable like F.A.N.G. and Dhalsim. Recently I've played Zeku for Dhalsim and so I'm learning a lot of the matches that I was comfortable with Necalli as Zeku. If you focus on one or two characters as Zeku and Necalli, it's easier to learn matchups more intricately.
If you've got a whole host of characters, you have a benefit because you can change it up like a swiss army knife. The disadvantages are that you can't know the matchups, the spacing, how people can respond to that character over thousands and thousands of games–that kind of instinct. You can't have that with a big array of characters so I wanted to cut it down to just one or two characters.
At the start, I really enjoyed playing Zangief because it was a good transition from Hugo in USF4. As time went on, I understood a bit more about how this game worked. I realized that Zangief was in some ways he was fundamentally flawed in this game engine.
One of the main reasons is because since command grabs are five frames, has two active frames, and you've got variable wakeup on knockdowns–it's extremely difficult to do a meaty command grab on someone in this game.
So if you play against a character like Dhalsim and they do a wakeup teleport which isn't invincible to throws and you're Zangief and you read that with a command grab, but you mistime it by a frame because you five frames to work with, he's away from you even though you mad the right read! Things like that were frustrating to me.
I didn't feel like I wasn't able to make the correct reads consistently so I thought maybe that's not the style that works for this game. In the old games you a had two-frame command grab where you could easily do meaty with it. So I thought I'm going to move away and play another character that has a command grab in Necalli. He's a bit more mobile and doesn't just rely on those hard read situations.
Thankfully that was a good choice and I saw some success with him as well.
MB: From what I've seen of your Zeku play, you tend to use old Zeku quite a bit. Does that pertain to particular matchups or certain players?
Infexious: When I first started using Zeku, I thought young Zeku was miles better than old. I would always play young and I basically learned young before I learned old. As time I went on, I started to understand the strengths of old Zeku and how to play the game–even after years and years of play you're still learning new things–I realized old was a lot better than I thought. Using both old and young styles is the key to mastering Zeku and making him a top contender.
MB: Now with your new sponsorship under CYG, you will be able to travel a lot more and experience different parts of the world. With that said, where do you see yourself going say five years from now? What are some of your goals and aspirations both in your pro gamer career and your regular life?
Infexious: One of my main aspirations was to make sure I have a foundation, qualification, and a profession that would allow me to teach something that you can take around the world. I wanted to get something that would give me a foundation so that if I went and pursued a passion such as gaming which is what it has been for years and that doesn't work out, I've always got that to fall back on.
Right now I've put that on the back burner and I'm focusing on my passion. Hopefully, I can win big tournaments, achieve big things, build a brand as the saying goes, and within five years be a member of the FGC that's recognized as a great competitor. That's my ultimate goal.
MB: You're currently ranked 22nd on CPT Global Standings and second place in the European regional standings. What do you think it's going to take for you to push through even further on in the CPT season to guarantee your spot in Capcom Cup 2019?
What do you feel you need to improve on in order to grow as a competitive threat to try and win it all? (Update: Now ranked 20th globally and finished in 4th in Europe).
Infexious: I think to get into Capcom Cup I need to maintain form. If I carry on the way that I am performing right now then I should be able to acquire enough points to get in and attend as many events as I can leading up to that. It's been a good start so I think maintenance is one of the most important things to push myself to the point where I can start thinking about winning the whole thing.
I need to open up my game even further and open my knowledge of the top players. Now we're getting into the realms where if you're placing highly consistently, you're going to be coming into contact with similar faces.
So you need to become aware of how these people play, what their tendencies are and how you can best exploit them to get the big wins out of it. Working on that is the next phase if I can keep up this type of momentum.

A: It seems like the image uploader feature is still being developed. I've noticed that the image uploader doesn't work when there's already an image that's part of the collection as did the person who created this github issue: issue #356. There's discussion on what could be done/what tools could be used to develop a better uploader here: link.

Growing up, we had one main song that we heard for Chanukah. It was the dreidel song that everyone knew. Of course, our Hebrew School teachers introduced us to others, but they were a bit boring. These days, we are lucky to have many more amazing options.
Thanks to Waldmania! my family was introduced to The Mama Doni Band when they released the Shabbat Shaboom CD in the spring. Now my family is rocking out to a classic Chanukah CD from Mama Doni called Chanukah Fever.
Chanukah Fever contains 14 songs by Doni Zasloff Thomas (Mama Doni) that show off her love for embracing Judaism, holidays, and traditions. She uses words and song to teach lessons while exposing families to new types of music. Doni blends her musical talent with reggae, rock, disco, Latin, klezmer, and more. The topics of the songs include latkes, dreidels, Yiddish expressions, and a lot of humor.
Thanks to YouTube, I can also share the "Chanukah Fever" video so you can hear what at least one of the songs is like. Here is The Mama Doni Band with "Chanukah Fever" – get ready to dance!
To say that we loved this CD would be an understatement. The weekend that we received it, it stayed in my car and we drove around listening to it. Within a few listens, the kids were singing along. TechyDad and I could not help laughing and loved how it integrated traditions, Hebrew/Yiddish, and more. NHL is eight and knew some of the items from Hebrew School so it gave us some fun items to chat about. Even JSL, 4, loved rocking out to the catchy tunes.
I think my favorite song on the CD is "I Say Chanukah (You Say Hanukah)" because it pokes fun at the need to use the chhhhh (pretend you are trying to clear your throat) sound. It isn't every day that words like Chanukah, l'chaim, chupah, and tuchus. I literally had tears in my eyes thanks to reading the words to this song.
I'm not sure if the boys have an absolute favorite since they enjoy the entire CD. Just the other day, NHL randomly started belting out "The Legend of Sour Cream Vs. Applesauce" while riding to school without the music on. I am sure that this CD will be played a lot in the upcoming weeks as we get ready for the Festival of Lights and try to keep family traditions alive.
For my local readers, The Mama Doni Band will be in town this weekend. On Sunday, December 4 they will have a concert at Congregation Agudat Achim in Schenectady, NY. For additional concert dates, head over to The Mama Doni Band Facebook page for updates.
Thanks to Waldmania!, one lucky reader will have a chance to win their own copy of Chanukah Fever.

You'll find a lot of information about financial aid on schools' websites. If you still have questions, don't hesitate to call and ask.
What are the deadlines for admission and financial aid? These deadlines are often different, so be sure you know when to submit each.
What is the school's approach to financial aid? Most schools believe that families are responsible for financing their children's education to the extent they are able. Under NAIS's Principles of Good Practice, financial aid is meant to help students who cannot afford independent school tuition without it. Financial aid funding is limited, and many families apply. Consider all possible sources to cover school costs, and apply for financial aid only if you truly cannot meet all the costs on your own.
How many students receive financial aid, and what is the average grant? The answer will be different at each school.
Does the school require a minimum contribution from families? Some schools will provide full financial aid. Others expect every family to pay something.
Are there costs in addition to tuition? Additional costs may include fees, books, supplies, uniforms, trips, transportation, clubs, and sports.
What types of financial aid does the school offer? In addition to grants, ask about loan programs, tuition payment plans, and merit scholarships.
What additional information will you need to submit? Some schools require a copy of your income tax return. Ask whether to send it to the school or to SSS.What if we own a business or a farm? You may need to provide additional information to support your financial aid application.
What if the parents are divorced? Ask how separation or divorce affects your financial aid.
What about next year? Many schools require families to reapply for aid every year.
Don't hesitate to be honest with financial aid counselors. It's their job to help you, and their decisions rely on the information you provide. If you don't get all the financial aid you need, ask them to help you find other ways to afford your child's educational expenses.

News > How to Grow Canada's Biotech Sector
Canada must invest adequately in the commercialization and talent development for the biotech sector or we may lose our best and brightest to other countries.
The right policies for data collection, the commercialization of new drugs and taxes will help make Canada's hosting conditions ideal for biotech companies.
Canada needs more entrepreneurs in the biotech sector to not only innovate but also inspire and train the next generation of talent.
Canada's biotech sector needs anchor companies to establish themselves in Canada, become globally competitive and attract more investment, talent and ideas. These anchor companies will build upon an already strong foundation if they get the right support from the government and the wider sector.
How would you describe the economic and social importance of the biotechnology sector for Canada?
It is important to look at biotechnology and the sector not just through a Canadian lens but through a global lens. When you think about what is happening in the world, we have a planet with a population that is expected to grow to nine billion or 10 billion over the next decade or two, and that brings with it enormous challenges.
We have to figure out new ways to lessen our impact on the planet and using biotechnology is one of the ways we can do that.
We are already dealing with a changed environment and climate. The environment and climate will continue to change and adding more people is just going to accelerate the pace of that. We have to figure out new ways to lessen our impact on the planet and using biotechnology is one of the ways we can do that. That is the type of technology and innovation that allows us to grow differently, manufacture differently and heal our lives. It will not only lessen our impact on the planet but allows us to be more efficient as a species.
At the end of the day, the planet is ultimately not threatened, but our species itself will be. Human beings are going to be threatened so unless we do something to address where our trajectory is going, we are going to have some fairly significant problems.
This is not only Canada's opportunity. Other countries recognize the economic and social opportunity of biotech and are supporting their local or domestic sectors. Canada has a fantastic foundation upon which to build. We have a great reputation for science and innovation and if we can take that and accelerate it, we are going to be at the forefront of developing some of the solutions that are needed for the global challenge of population growth.
How would you describe the current state of biotech innovation in Canada? What are we doing well and what challenges do we face?
The current state is really strong. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, it was doing quite well. There were a lot of great companies emerging across the country. Canada has strong biotech clusters in every single province. We are developing support networks and environments to allow those companies to develop and grow. Quite a few companies across the country have been growing in a very rapid fashion, attracting a lot of investment and more talent. That is very encouraging.
We have a globally recognized expertise in doing good science and research through clinical trials, which we are notably good at. We should also look at what is coming out of our university systems and especially the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs that we have invested in. We are getting some very smart students coming out of these programs and they are developing great science and research. This is another key strength.
Here is some history in the vaccine world: Canada has a couple of big companies that are doing vaccine work, such as Sanofi Pasteur in the Toronto area and Medicago in Quebec City. We have some good biomanufacturing companies such as BioVectra in Prince Edward Island and Resilience in Toronto. The Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization-International Vaccine Centre (VIDO-InterVac) is doing great work in Saskatchewan. We have a lot of these types of companies as well as some great research centres such as the Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine out of Toronto, which deals in regenerative medicine, cell therapy and gene therapies. There is also adMare BioInnovations, a national network that pools together expertise in identifying and developing drugs and develops our talent pool along the Canadian Alliance for Skills and Training in Life Sciences (CASTL).
There are some fundamental pieces for the biotech sector already in place and the future looks good just from that alone. But there are some gaps. The government quite appropriately recognizes that Canada could do a better job with biomanufacturing and we are building that up through the National Research Council and other investments. That is going to be important going forward. But for the most part, we have a strong foundation to build on.
Canada's biotech sector needs anchor companies to establish themselves in Canada, become globally competitive and attract more investment, talent and ideas.
Where we have not really succeeded is in creating anchor companies. Those types of companies have a stickiness and stay here to grow and create more jobs. Thinking back to the early days of technology and information technology, we had anchor companies in that sector such as Research In Motion or BlackBerry down in Kitchener-Waterloo. Canada's biotech sector needs anchor companies to establish themselves in Canada, become globally competitive and attract more investment, talent and ideas. Anchor companies also have the potential to create more companies.
Getting those anchor companies is our next step forward. If we get the anchor companies we need, then we will have truly created something special that built upon the foundation that was already in place for some time.
What policy approach must Canada take to spur biotech innovation and become a global leader in biotech and biomanufacturing?
One of the key determining factors that will allow us to get and grow the anchor companies we need is our hosting conditions. Canada's hosting conditions – its tax policy and regulatory policy – are tools at the government's disposal for the growth of the biotech sector. The government controls what our hosting conditions will be like and so they play an essential role in setting the conditions for the growth of the industry. Some of this is on the industry itself, so we have to do a good job of developing the right science and getting investments. But when it comes to tax policy, which is what allows companies to grow and commercialize here, the government needs to look at that and be as effective and efficient as possible.
The government will play an important role in supporting the development of the talent pool as well. They can do this with good immigration policy and by investing in our universities and training institutes. On top of that, Canada's regulatory policy framework must include a clear pathway for the drugs that are being developed for rare diseases. We need mechanisms for the pricing of these drugs, the use of real-world evidence and the better use and development of data. These are all important features in addition to speeding up the actual approval process. We saw how quickly Health Canada was able to take a relatively new technology to them – the mRNA vaccines – conduct thorough examinations for safety and efficacy and quickly approve those vaccines for Canadians. That type of expertise is going to be needed in other areas as new technologies come forward.
The last piece we need to work with the government on, which is a government-led initiative, is the development of the dataset. The biotech sector has no idea where we are. We are making assumptions based on anecdotes. We are measuring what the industry is about now based on what we hear from different companies. The government used to measure these things through Statistics Canada and we need something like that again. The government must invest in the collection and analysis of data so the biotech sector can know where we are and when we got there. How else will we know when we have reached the finish line? We need to be able to put data in place to actually measure that.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created an opportunity to talk about how important and valuable the biotech sector is.
I wish we never went through the COVID-19 pandemic and I never want to go through it again. That being said, having been in this sector through the pandemic, I have realized that the COVID-19 pandemic has created an opportunity to talk about how important and valuable the biotech sector is, whether it is because of vaccines, therapeutics and even other spaces.
The Canadian government has figured out that we never want to be in a position again where we have to use duct tape and wire to put a solution together. They are already planning for COVID-40 or COVID-50. They are creating a strong base where they are investing in biomanufacturing, growing our capacity for biomanufacturing, investing in the life sciences and putting together a life sciences strategy. This is all important because we are going to need to rely on the biotech sector at some point in time, and at the very least, we need to plan ahead.
If we do not attract talent and investment to Canada, our ideas will go to countries where the investment and talent are.
In this sector, we primarily work off good ideas. The good ideas reside, for the most part, on computers. If we do not attract talent and investment to Canada, our ideas will go to countries where the investment and talent are as these ideas are very mobile. We will eventually get the finished product back but we will miss out on all the economic benefits of commercializing it here.
Who must do what to improve the way Canada's biotech innovations are commercialized?
We should not underestimate how good Canada is at commercialization. There are a lot of great Canadian ideas that have been commercialized, the most recent being the Pfizer vaccine for COVID-19 – the vaccine was developed by Pfizer along with BioNTech out of Germany and Acuitas Therapeutics, a Canadian company. Their technology was essential here. They contributed the technology for the lipid envelope they had developed and that was essential to the delivery of Pfizer's mRNA vaccine. We have had a couple of fantastic exits as well such as Clementia Pharmaceuticals, which was sold to Ipsen for $1.4 billion.
A lot of our products do get commercialized and are out there in the marketplace helping people around the world. Where we need to do a better job is to take some of the more realistic ideas and create Canadian companies out of them that actually anchor here and become mainstays from an economic standpoint.
Entrepreneurs in biotech need to find people who show potential and mentor, teach and bring them up.
Canada needs more entrepreneurs in the biotech sector. We need some of these companies to get sticky, stay here and find ways to grow the talent pool. We need to reach into a wider community to make sure we address our objectives for diversity and inclusion. I talk to universities and colleges all the time and when I look at the classrooms, I see many students who come from different backgrounds. Entrepreneurs in biotech need to find people who show potential and mentor, teach and bring them up. We need more people to whom we can pass along all the knowledge we have gained. Entrepreneurs in the biotech sector build up so many experiences and if they can pass along the lessons learned to others, that would be a huge benefit for the community.

Bullish on market, DMCI Homes launches 4th building of Davao development
Verdon Parc | February 15, 2018
Actual shot of Verdon Parc's clubhouse and lap pool.
DMCI Homes, the country's first Quadruple A developer, launched on February 14 the fourth and final building of its Verdon Parc development in Davao City amidst bright prospects for the real estate industry in urban areas outside Metro Manila.
The construction of the 22-level residential tower Maurin completes the masterplan of the four-building development along Ecoland Drive corner Peacock Street in Davao City which is DMCI Homes initial foray into the Mindanao property market.
The first three buildings Martel, Belvedere, and Trevans have been a hit among end-users and investors alike owing to the development's resort feel and proximity to commercial establishments, educational institutions, places of worship, hospitals and government agencies in downtown Davao.
As of January 28, Verdon Parc's first three buildings have sold a combined 837 units worth a total of P2.76B.
"As reflected by Verdon Parc's consistent strong sales performance, more and more Davaoeños are seeing residential condos as versatile solutions to urban living challenges," DMCI Homes Assistant Vice-President for Marketing Jan Venturanza said.
"They have come to appreciate the conveniences of condo living which is also evident in the vibrant and thriving condo market in Davao," he added.
Maurin, which is targeted for completion in October 2021, offers a mix of spacious 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units ideal for start-up families and young professionals.
The units with gross floor area ranging from 28 to 56.5 square meters (sq.m.) are reasonably priced at P2.9 million onwards.
Designed with DMCI Homes' Lumiventt Technology, Maurin, like Belvedere and Trevans will have sky patios which allow ambient light and fresh air to permeate the building and all unit spaces within.
Actual shot of Verdon Parc's expansive clubhouse.
Single-loaded hallways and garden atriums which are also components of the design innovation, on the other hand, not only improve aesthetics but also give a wide open feel to the building interior.
The roof-deck of the three towers also provide an excellent vantage point to appreciate the scenic and serene surroundings of Davao City that include the awe-inspiring views of Samal Island and Mt. Apo.
All these building features plus a wide range of resort-inspired amenities such as kiddie pool, lap pool, gazebo, fitness gym, open lawn, entertainment room, children's play area, podium deck area and other leisure zones complete the resort-inspired living experience at Verdon Parc.
DMCI Homes has been known for building quality resort-inspired communities in Mega Manila, Baguio City, Boracay and Davao City. Built with world-standard craftsmanship borne from D.M. Consunji Inc.'s over 60 years of expertise in the construction and development industry, DMCI Homes continues to uphold its thrust of providing quality homes at best value on or ahead of time.

Bill Hass on Baseball:Hoppers hit well but come up short
Posted by Guest Columnist on June 10, 2018 at 1:03 am under Professional | Comments are off for this article
Hoppers hit well but come up short
from Bill Hass with Bill on Baseball(Greensboro Grasshoppers) at www.gsohoppers.com
Five runs on 12 hits will win a lot of baseball games.
Just not Saturday night.
The Hoppers played from behind early on and never could catch Lakewood, absorbing a 6–5 loss.
It was an odd game from the standpoint that all 11 runs were scored in the first four innings, when it appeared both teams might be on their way to double digits. But both pitching staffs clamped down and no runs were scored over the final five innings.
The game could wind up being very costly for the Hoppers. First baseman Lazaro Alonso and second baseman Samuel Castro both left the game early with injuries. Alonso injured a rib cage muscle and Castro took a pitch off his thumb on a bunt attempt. Both were out of the game by the third inning.
Coach Angel Espada, filling in as manager while Todd Pratt is away, said both were being examined after the game and their status would be more clear Sunday.
The injuries caused considerable lineup shuffling. After Alonso left, Micah Brown moved from right field to first base and Isael Soto came off the bench to play right. When Castro left, Brown shifted to second base (his third position of the game), catcher Will Allen moved to first and Michael Hernandez came in to catch.
The BlueClaws jumped on Hoppers starter Brandon Miller for six runs in the first three innings, including a pair of home runs. After that, Miller settled down and pitched four scoreless innings.
There was a 20-minute rain delay before the game began and pitching coach Mark DiFelice said that seemed to bother Miller.
"He's very routine-oriented and the delay threw him off," DiFelice said. "He came out flat and didn't find his rhythm until the fourth inning. He's got to learn to fight through that when things don't go like they normally should.
"He still was able to give us seven innings. He changed speeds well and got his fastball down after elevating it in the early innings."
The Hoppers were able to get single runs in the first and second innings and jumped on reliever Connor Brogdon for three runs in the fourth inning to slice the deficit to 6–5. But Brogdon and Kyle Doty shut things down after that, striking out eight batters over the final five innings. All told, the Hoppers whiffed 15 times.
"You've got young hitters learning the ropes and sometimes they get over-aggressive and try to do too much," Espada said. "Lakewood leads the league in pitching. You can't expand the strike zone against a team like that. They will exploit your weaknesses."
The Hoppers had some nice offensive numbers to show for the night. Thomas Jones homered, singled in another run and scored twice. Jose Devers had three hits, including a two-run double. Jhonny Santos had three more hits. Allen belted a solo homer and a double and scored twice.
But in the end, it wasn't quite enough.
The teams wrap up the series Sunday with a game at 2 o'clock. Edward Cabrera will start for the Hoppers.
NOTES: Saturday was the first time Alonso qualified for the SAL batting lead and he took a .358 average, tops in the league, into the game … Devers is 6-for-8 with four RBIs in the series … Marcus Rivera struck out three times, giving him seven strikeouts in two games … Colton Hock and Bryce Howe pitched a scoreless inning apiece.

Yes its Pink, but its blooming great. 1689 Queen Mary Edition Gin Reviewed
Attend any gin tour and you will hear stories about the growth of gin, including how gin came to be after the introduction of Jenever, a strong Dutch liqueur that was flavoured with Juniper for its medicinal properties.
Distilled to around 50% abv, this very early drink, which is also thought to give rise to the term 'Dutch Courage', was adapted to produce British Gin
Others however says that Gin itself was also invented by a Dutchman, William of Orange, the Dutch king of England, who first made the drink in 1689.
1689 Gin is the result of an 18 month journey of discovery, by 2 Dutch lads, who decided to trace the history of this spirit and discovered an ancient recipe located in a dark corner of the Royal British Library's rare book section.
After acquiring the rights to this recipe, they set about recreating it with the help of Herman Jansen, the Dutch distilling company.
Within the recipe book of this original gin, it is recommended that it is served with Strawberries and Raspberries, 'bruised' in a glass, therefore creating the very first 'Pink Gin'
Using this inspiration, 1689 have added these two fruits to the distillation of their original recipe 1689 gin, to create the Queen Mary Edition, named after King William III's wife.
The bottle is striking in its bright pink frosted glass with gold numbering, you couldn't miss this on a shelf, flamboyant Dutch friends come to mind, loud and in your face, but totally adorable.
On opening of the bottle, fruit is noticeable in the aroma, however this is not overpowering and Juniper is still strong.
Sipping neat, the spirit is surprisingly refreshing with little to no alcohol burn, despite its 38.5% abv.
The red fruits add a touch of sweetness on the palette, while citrus brings a freshness. The finish is complex with a hint of sweet spice.
Adding a tonic brings the fruit alive further and it creates a gin and tonic that is so light and pleasing, that you can finish a double in 'double quick' time and before you know it, the bottle is half empty.
One of the things I love about gin, is its diversity. How it adapts to the botanicals used to showcase its origin, I love a gin with a big personality, one that hits you in the face with its own signature, but this doesn't do that.
It doesn't overwhelm me with it's presence or being, in fact what it does is discreet, reserved and its quite the opposite of any Dutch people I know (Sorry if you're reading this), its quiet and subtle, but despite all of that – I love it.
The calmness of the flavours work well, its subtleness doesn't take away from its complexity – would I buy it – definitely.
1689 gin is available online in the UK from site such as Master of Malt

Aghast (en español: Horrorizado o Espanto) fue un proyecto noruego de ambient, dark ambient y post-industrial, integrado por dos artistas: Tania Stene y Andrea Haugen y bajo los seudónimos Nachthexë (Bruja de la Noche) y Nebelhexë (Bruja de la Niebla) respectivamente.

Biografía
Aghast publicó en 1995, el álbum Hexerei im Zwielicht der Finsternis, que fue grabado con la grabadora de cuatro pistas de Fenriz, baterista de Darkthrone, de forma deliberadamente mal. Dos de los títulos también aparecieron en las recopilaciones …And Even Wolves Hid Their Teeth and Tongue Wherever Shelter Was Given y Taste This 4.

Después del álbum, el trabajo fue detenido en Aghast; según Haugen, Stene prefería pasar su tiempo en compañía de hombres, en lugar de un trabajo profesional en su música, por lo que Haugen se hizo cargo del trabajo, mientras que Stene se consideraba importante porque estaba en una banda. Primero, quería hacer música ambiental con su propio nombre, pero descubrió gente por sí misma y comenzó a inspirarse con el proyecto Hagalaz'Runedance.

Sin embargo, en retrospectiva, dijo que deseaba haberse quedado en el Ambient y anunció un CD de palabras habladas con sonidos oscuros también del género ambiental, que probablemente les gustarían a los fanáticos de Aghast. [2] Stene de nuevo colaboró con otros artistas, como cantante invitado el álbum de The Ominous Silence, con un disco diseñado para covers de bandas como Ulver, Sunn O))) y Burzum. En 2010, Haugen anunció un nuevo proyecto de ambiente oscuro llamado Aghast Manor,    que lanzó un álbum en 2012.

Andrea vivía en Kongsberg cuando fue asesinada a la edad de 52 años en los ataques de Kongsberg el 13 de octubre de 2021.

Estilo
El estilo de Aghast se puede describir como ambiental. Los instrumentos utilizados son sintetizador, violín, flauta y tambor . El canto fue considerado tan demoníaco, la música como espeluznante, de miedo y escalofriante.

Los temas líricos del proyecto estaban relacionados con la mitología nórdica y las emociones oscuras, más que una ejecución son una serie de cánticos y sonidos rituales, pero no tanto de corte pagano si no que más bien de un toque siniestro y un tanto maligno. La imagen de sí mismo de las artistas como brujas en consecuencia, tanto la canción como evocadora fue y el tamborileo como chamánica.

Curiosidad
 Este disco fue grabado con el mismo micrófono que alguna vez perteneciera al difunto Per Yngve Ohlin, mejor conocido como Dead, antiguo vocalista de la banda Mayhem y que se suicidó en 1991.

Curmudgeonry: I'm a Utah Mormon!
Um, no. Not really. But the name Jordana does make the list, along with such gems as Dwendle, Dwodger, Hummingbird, CheriLuv, Confederate America, Placentia, and many, many others. I don't think my parents spent much time in Utah before I was born -- and of course my name is actually a real name, even if it isn't very common.
Let's not forget this doozie: "Aquanetta"!! (I was looking for my name and stumbled upon it) I laughed. My name did not make the list! Too plain, I guess!
So have you chosen names for the new baby yet? You could be the proud parents of the only Aquanetta on the block!


Treaty with The Sioux -- Sisseton and Wahpeton Bands. July 23, 1851.
Articles of a treaty made and concluded at Traverse des Sioux, upon the Minnesota River, in the Territory of Minnesota, on the twenty-third day of July, eighteen hundred and fifty-one, between the United States of America, by Luke Lea, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and Alexander Ramsey, governor and ex-officio superintendent of Indian affairs in said Territory, commissioners duly appointed for that purpose, and See-see-toan and Wah-pay-toan bands of Dakota or Sioux Indians.
It is stipulated and solemnly agreed that the peace and friendship now so happily existing between the United States and the aforesaid bands of Indians, shall be perpetual.
The said See-see-toan and Wah-pay-toan bands of Dakota or Sioux Indians, agree to cede, and do hereby cede, sell, and relinquish to the United States, all their lands in the State of Iowa; and, also all their lands in the Territory of Minnesota, lying east of the following line, to wit: Beginning at the junction of the Buffalo River with the Red River of the North; thence along the western bank of said Red River of the North, to the mouth of the Sioux Wood River; thence along the western bank of said Sioux Wood River to Lake Traverse; thence, along the western shore of said lake, to the southern extremity thereof; thence in a direct line, to the junction of Kampeska Lake with the Tchan-kas-an-data, or Sioux River; thence along the western bank of said river to its point of intersection with the northern line of the State of Iowa; including all the islands in said rivers and lake.
1st. To the chiefs of the said bands, to enable them to settle their affairs and comply with their present just engagement; and in consideration of their removing themselves to the country set apart for them as above, which they agree to do within two years, or sooner, if required by the President, without further cost or expense to the United States, and in consideration of their subsisting themselves the first year after their removal, which they agree to do without further cost or expense on the part of the United States, the sum of two hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars, ($275,000): Provided, That said sum shall be paid to the chiefs in such manner as they, hereafter, in open council shall request, and as soon after the removal of said Indians to the home set apart for them, as the necessary appropriation therefor shall be made by Congress.
The laws of the United States, prohibiting the introduction and sale of spirituous liquors in the Indian country shall be in full force and effect throughout the territory hereby ceded and lying in Minnesota until otherwise directed by Congress or the President of the United States.
Rules and regulations to protect the rights of persons and property among the Indians, parties to this treaty, and adapted to their condition and wants, may be prescribed and enforced in such manner as the President or the Congress of the United States, from time to time, shall direct.
In testimony whereof, the said Commissioners, Luke Lea and Alexander Ramsey, and the undersigned Chiefs and Headmen of the aforesaid See-see-toan and Wah-pay-toan bands of Dakota or Sioux Indians, have hereunto subscribed their names and affixed their seals, in duplicate, at Traverse des Sioux, Territory of Minnesota, this twenty-third day of July, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-one.
Signed in presence of Thomas Foster, Secretary. Nathaniel McLean, Indian Agent.

2d. It is further stipulated, that the President be authorized, with the assent of the said band of Indians, parties to this treaty, and as soon after they shall have given their assent to the foregoing article, as may be convenient, to cause to be set apart by appropriate landmarks and boundaries, such tracts of country without the limits of the cession made by the first [2d] article of the treaty as may be satisfactory for their future occupancy and home: Provided, That the President may, by the consent of these Indians, vary the conditions aforesaid if deemed expedient.

Coronavirus Hits Black Communities Hard
Coronavirus Public Health
When coronavirus first started its march across the world, it seemed to target first Asia and then Europe, leaving large swaths of the African continent virtually untouched. This led to discussions on social media—some serious, some funny memes, some dangerous rumors and conspiracy theories—suggesting maybe black folks were immune to the virus that causes COVID-19.
But many of us knew better. Coronavirus doesn't care about the race or ethnicity of its victims, but longstanding disparities in black communities are creating a crisis within a crisis.
Normally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tracks viral outbreaks and releases data about the age, race and location of the people affected. But for the coronavirus pandemic, the CDC has released only location and age data, remaining silent on race, despite requests for demographic information from doctors, lawmakers and media.
So far, only a handful of states, including North Carolina and Illinois, are releasing their coronavirus racial data. But this limited data reveals exactly what we feared: The virus is having a significant impact on black communities across the country.
As of Sunday, April 5, black folks, who make up 29 percent of the population in Chicago, were 70 percent of the COVID-19 deaths in that city. Though we are only 14 percent of the population in the state of Michigan, we make up 40 percent of COVID-19 deaths there, with the highest concentrations of cases in the largely black counties around Detroit. Similar numbers show we are disproportionately affected in Atlanta; Milwaukee; Charlotte, North Carolina; some boroughs in New York City, particularly the Bronx; and New Orleans.
Panic Free(er) Through Mindfulness and Meditation
Who didn't see this coming? Generations of limited access to health care, and a toxic brew of income inequality, lack of insurance, and environmental and political issues leave black communities vulnerable to a higher risk of chronic conditions and with a deep mistrust of the medical community and few resources.
"COVID is just unmasking the deep disinvestment in our communities, the historical injustices and the impact of residential segregation," Camara Jones, epidemiologist and visiting fellow at Harvard University, told ProPublica. "This is the time to name racism as the cause of all of those things. The overrepresentation of people of color in poverty and white people in wealth is not just a happenstance. … It's because we're not valued."
Jones is correct. A whole host of disparities are contributing to these concerning coronavirus statistics:
Black communities have less access to coronavirus testing. Last month, a group of doctors in Virginia expressed concern about this. "I want to make sure that in this pandemic, black and brown people are treated in the same way and that these tests are made available in the same pattern as for white people," said Ebony Hilton, an associate professor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine at the University of Virginia.
We are more likely to suffer underlying health conditions that make COVID-19 infections more serious, including heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, asthma, obesity and some cancers.
Lower-income areas—which are more likely to have large populations made up of people of color—have limited access to quality health care. When we do see a doctor, our complaints often are ignored and our pain minimized.
Lower-income workers are less likely to have health insurance. They're also more likely to hold jobs where they are considered essential workers who can't work from home. These jobs often don't offer paid sick leave.
Substandard housing, multiple people living in the same house and homelessness all make it easy for coronavirus to spread.
So where do we go from here? "In terms of who is at risk, who gets sick—it is too late," Leigh University's Sirry Alang, who studies health disparities, told Axios. "But there are things we can do to mitigate the impact."
Those mitigating factors include incorporating voices of people of color in shaping a response of justice and equity, forming partnerships between public health officials and trusted community organizations to tailor messages about prevention and treatment, and a commitment to transportation and affordable public housing.
As of Sunday night, more than 337,000 people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with COVID-19, with the death toll closing in on 10,000, according to Johns Hopkins University. The country has the highest number of confirmed cases in the world. Globally, more than 1.2 million people have been infected.

When you make an actual garment you will have to know how to decrease and increase stitches. For this article we'll deal with just the decrease.
There are two ways to decrease in knitting. If you're knitting a garment one way is done at the beginning of the row and the other is done at the end of the row. They are both easy to learn. I would suggest that you practice both methods before you start your project.
Decrease at the beginning of a row, called "KSK PSSO".
Put the needle in the second stitch as though you were going to knit it, but gently slip it onto the right needle.
Put the left needle into the front of the slipped stitch on the right needle as though you were going to purl it.
You have now decreased one stitch.
Decrease at the end of a row, called "K2tog".
This method will pull the work toward the right. It is called K2tog.
Knit till there are 3 stitches remaining on the needle.


The Spring 2019 Graduate Hooding Ceremony will take place on May 9 at 7:30 p.m. If you are graduating spring 2019, and you intend to participate, please RSVP to let us know you're coming.
The Graduate Hooding Ceremony is the recognition of the hard work that goes into the achievement of a Master's, Specialist in Education, or Doctoral Degree. The Graduate School looks forward to helping you celebrate your success with your friends, family, and the UT community. Reading this information on making early preparations, getting the appropriate regalia, and attending the ceremony will help make your experience a memorable one.
There are preparations that must be made in advance of the ceremony, to ensure that you are able to participate fully. If you procrastinate in making these preparations, there is a greater likelihood that you will not be able to participate.
For your name to appear in the program for the ceremony, you must have submitted the Graduation Application through MyUTK by the deadline date for the term in which you are graduating.
If you have placed a privacy request on your student records, your name will not appear in the printed program. If you want to remove the privacy request, you must call Charlene Ingle (865-974-1501) in the Registrar's Office.
Remember that just because your name appears in the program, you should not consider that a confirmation that you will receive a degree. Be sure to check with your graduation specialist to make certain that you have satisfied all requirements for graduation. Conversely, the absence of a student's name from the program does not necessarily mean that the candidate will not be awarded a degree.
If your family members would like to attend the hooding ceremony, but require an invitation to travel to the United States, fill out the Invitation to International Family Members to Enter the U.S. form. This may take at least 48 hours to process, but once it is processed, you will receive an email that a letter is ready for you to pick up. This letter can be used to apply for the appropriate visa for travel.
If you are a doctoral candidate, communicate with your major professor as to whom on your committee will be your hooder at the ceremony.
In order to participate in the ceremony, you must be dressed in the proper academic regalia. It is your responsibility to order your regalia through the VolShop at the Student Union. If you have any questions, please contact the Graduate Counter at the VolShop at the Student Union (865-974-3459).

Doctoral candidates and hooders will process in after the non-hooding faculty and will be seated on the right side of the arena floor. At the appropriate time, doctoral candidates and hooders will be cued by ushers when to rise and move toward the stage. Doctoral candidates and hooders will exit their seats to the right and process to the stage, with hooder in front and followed by the candidate.
Be aware that there will be no place to leave personal items that is secure. If you have items that you must have with you, please ask one of your guests to keep them for you.
You must give your name card to the Reader of Names to receive recognition upon crossing the stage. The first candidate in each college must also give the Reader of Names the college card, which will be supplied immediately prior to the beginning of the ceremony. Only students possessing a name card will be allowed to cross the stage and accept congratulations from your college dean.
Doctoral students will be hooded on stage by a member of their doctoral committee. If a hooder is not available, the doctoral student will be hooded by the college dean.
A professional photographer will be taking photos as graduates shake hands with the dean on stage. Graduates must include their mailing address on the back of their name card if they wish to be mailed a photo proof.

Enniskillen Theatre Company – The Night Alive
Enniskillen Theatre Company present
'The Night Alive'
By Conor Mc Phearson
A play that flutters between the dramatic and comedic realms. The Night Alive
explores the lives of a few lost souls and a chance connection that may change
the path of their future. Tommy is a man who has been drifting through life for
the past two years after becoming estranged from his family. He lives in a bedsit
flat in his uncle's house in Dublin, making ends meet through whatever crackpot
schemes he and his friend Doc can concoct. When he rescues a struggling
young woman named Aimee, who has been badly beaten, Tommy begins to feel
a glimmer of hope that he can make something of his life. All of that may end,
however, as a man from Aimee's past makes an unwelcome appearance.
History of the Group
Enniskillen Theatre Company is a very young group, having only been established in 2019. Whilst there is a rich history of amateur drama in Enniskillen, no group from the
town had been involved in festivals for over 40 years, so a few heads got together,
and formed the company with the intention of giving it a try. A committee was
formed, a play was picked, and 2020 saw Enniskillen Theatre Company tentatively
dip their toes into the waters of the Drama festival.
