Strong Opinions, Indecent Ego, or Publicity Stunt: What Happened Natalia Kills?
Photo Credit: Angela Pham/BFAnyc.com
"Ladies and gentleman, I'm just going to state the obvious: We have a doppelgänger in our midst. As an artist who respects creative integrity and intellectual property, I am disgusted at how much you have copied my husband. From the hair to the suit, do you not have any value or respect for originality? I personally found it absolutely artistically atrocious I am embarrassed to be sitting here in your presence having to even dignify you with an answer of my opinion."
Then, husband Willy Moon: "It just feels a bit cheap and absurd. I mean, it's like Norman Bates dressing up in his mother's clothing. It's just a little bit creepy and I feel like you're going to stitch someone's skin to your face and then kill everyone in the audience."
As if that wasn't enough, Natalia continues: "It's disgusting. You make me sick. It's absolutely disgusting. You have no identity. I can't stand it. I'm ashamed to be here."
In what felt like a surging storm of social-media reactions, up-and-coming pop star (or blacklisted?) Natalia Kills and unknown-husband Willy Moon were just exiled and banned from being judges on New Zealand's X-Factor after an incident of bullying a candidate. When I first watched the video, part of me laughed. Then the other part of me croaked. Then, I asked myself, "Was that really necessary?" But, naturally, I wanted to just shake these two young people and talk some sense into them. (If they're capable of listening…) Multiple New Yorkers affiliated with her took to Facebook asking why she'd do such a thing. "I've met her before on a fashion shoot we worked on and she was so sweet. But, what is this?"
Really, what is this?
Was it a publicity stunt? She [Natalia Kills] did just have her single "Problem" featured on the premiere of E! Network's The Royals, the network's highly-anticipated first scripted show (coinciding with the same night of the X-Factor episode). Also, just this last week Madonna's latest album "Rebel Heart" premiered, to which she's credited for writing the track "Holy Water". (She tweeted the link to her "Problem" video following this X-Factor incident. That's certainly self-promotion I'd say.) Publicity stunt definitely sounds reasonable and so her generation.
Could it be that people didn't know she was a "problem"? Maybe that part of her image hadn't been pushed hard enough. Or maybe, just maybe, people didn't even know who she was? (I mean, come on, multiple lists have been made titled "10 Things You Didn't Know About Natalia Kills" following the incident that feature many things her fans did indeed know about her.)
Frankie Sharp, a New York nightlife pioneer whose revamped the nightlife scene within recent years, took to Facebook: "I know her personally and I feel like her music and career isn't where she thought it would've been by now. And she's trying everything. I've seen her actually try everything. From putting out great singles, couple of decent videos, co writing with Madonna on Madonnas new album, filming a reality show etc and her career is still not anywhere it 'should be'. Therefore I think she sat down with NZ X-Factor producers and they needed ratings and she needed some clicks and the paycheck was probably pretty enough for her to lose some fans but gain any kind of notoriety she could at this point. Cody is right. This isn't real. These shows are scripted and formulaic."
Then you have the problem of….
When you look at the success Natalia Cappuccini (Natalia Kills) has garnered amongst all her fans it's easy to say that a vast majority of them are very young teenagers and, in this day of age where cyber-bullying and publicity antics aren't diffident, one can easily presume a huge majority of fans will turn their backs on her. Why disrupt the peace in such an ugly, vicious and yet uncalled for way? Better yet, encourage hasty decision-making for the thrill of attention seeking amongst our already fame-obsessed youth. It's so digressive, boring, and, frankly, embarrassing.
Let Lorde weigh in on this. Oh, and Ellie Goulding. Oh yeah, Ed Sheeran. All who were nominated for Grammys.
So, now, what I'm left with is this idea of "opinions". If, indeed, Natalia has these opinions….We do indeed have a problem. That problem is beyond delusional. And how many galas have you attended Natalia? Were all those men dressed like your boo boo?
I can't even.

The challenges and dilemmas posed to stability in the former Soviet Union, and Central and Eastern Europe by the collapse of Communist rule are undisputably wide-ranging. Recognizing the need to adopt an approach that does justice to a momentous process of change, this book focuses on the security implications of continuing developments in the political, social, economic, and military spheres. The heart of the book is a set of case studies examining in detail the situation in a number of countries: Hungary, Poland, the Czech and Slovak republics, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic states, the Balkan region, and the former Yugoslavia. As an introduction to the case studies, a section of essays astutely assesses recent developments in Central and Eastern Europe from a broader thematic perspective, focusing on the role of European organizations in the ethnic conflicts currently prevalent throughout the region.

Workers defiant despite Royal Mail court injunction
by Nick Clark
Published Thu 12 Oct 2017
Issue No. 2576

Royal Mail bosses won a court battle on Thursday to delay a postal workers' strike. But the workers are determined to keep fighting—and say bosses' action has only strengthened their resolve.
Members of the CWU union had been gearing up for a 48-hour national strike spanning Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week.
But Royal Mail bosses ran to the high court for an injunction that delays the action for at least seven weeks.
They said an agreement signed by CWU leaders in 2013 stops the union from calling national strikes unless they've been through five weeks of external mediation.
It means the CWU will have to take part in five more weeks of talks, and then give another two weeks' notice, before they can legally strike.
Busiest
But postal workers aren't demoralised and many say they're still ready to strike in December—Royal Mail's busiest time of the year.
Around 100 CWU members protested outside the Royal Courts of Justice in central London as the hearing took place.
Speaking to Socialist Worker ahead of the result, postal worker Linford Gibbons said, "If the ruling goes against us it will just make us stronger.
"Royal Mail want to go to mediation. But we are adamant that we're going to take industrial action if we don't get an outcome that's beneficial to everybody."
And speaking after the result of the hearing, CWU general secretary Dave Ward said, "Royal Mail are completely and utterly deluded if they believe that courtroom politics are going to resolve this dispute.
"We say to Royal Mail, unless you're going to reach an agreement that satisfies all the issues that are contained in this dispute and is a good agreement for our members, then you are going to have to confront the harsh reality that industrial action and strike action will take place.
"We're up for it—we know the members are up for it, and we're not going away."
The best response to today's result would be to strike anyway
Postal workers are furious about a huge attack on their pensions, pay and conditions planned by Royal Mail bosses—and many are raring to get out the door.
Union members voted by 89 percent for strikes in a ballot that ended last week—a sign of the widespread anger among postal workers.
Deputy general secretary Terry Pullinger said, "The members in the workplaces are going to be incensed by all of this.
"The culture in the workplaces has got toxic. People are fed up with the way they're being treated. This isn't going to help that situation."
And Ward said, "We walked in here today with a 90 percent yes vote. And we've walked out of court with a 90 percent yes vote intact. Royal Mail cannot ignore the size of that ballot result."
The best response to today's result would be to strike anyway. Postal workers have a strong tradition of taking unofficial action.
But at the very least the result shouldn't be allowed to demoralise postal workers. And the union can't let bosses delay action any further.
CWU activists have to keep the momentum up for a huge national strike—and trade unionists everywhere have to show postal workers they have support.

Louise Erdrich Delivers A Dystopian Feminist Thriller In 'Future Home'
Fresh Air | By Maureen Corrigan
Published November 14, 2017 at 12:30 PM CST
Before I finally picked up and read Louise Erdrich's new novel, called Future Home of the Living God, there was a mighty obstacle that had to be faced — an obstacle called The Handmaid's Tale. After Margaret Atwood's magisterial achievement, is there really room for another dystopian feminist novel about the overthrow of democracy by a Christian fundamentalist regime that enslaves fertile women and reduces them to simple vessels of procreation?
The somewhat unsettling answer is "Sure!"
Erdrich reminds us here that the unthinkable could happen in a variety of ways. Rather than standing in the shadow of Atwood's classic, Erdrich's tense and lyrical new work of speculative fiction stands shoulder-to-braced-shoulder right alongside it.
Future Home of the Living God is loosely structured as a series of letters that our heroine, a 26-year-old womannamed Cedar Hawk Songmaker, writes to her unborn child. Cedar is impelled to write these letters because, well, something weird is going on.
Nature has doubled back on itself and plants and animals and fetuses seem to be randomly devolving. Pregnant women are being rounded up by agents of the new religious government, called "The Church of the New Constitution." The women give birth in prison-like maternity hospitals and, afterwards, it seems they may face a future of enforced serial pregnancies. But no one is certain because, as one character shrewdly comments, "The first thing that happens at the end of the world is that we don't know what is happening."
Complicating the already fraught subject of motherhood in this novel is the fact that Cedar was born to an Ojibwe woman, but was adopted as an infant by a couple whom she refers to as white "Minneapolis liberals" — parents whom Cedar loves as much as she mocks. Ironically, Cedar Hawk Songmaker has recently found out that her name at birth was plain old Mary Potts.
Because she's pregnant, Cedar feels an urgency about connecting with her birth mother. She takes to the road on an odyssey into a panicked America where people are starting to hoard cigarettes and liquor for barter, and are dumping their cell phones and laptops. They're returning to un-hackable modes of communication, like passing handwritten notes and sending word via the Native American network known as "the moccasin telegraph."
In some of her more recent novels like The Plague of Doves and The Round House, Erdrich has been edging over into literary suspense and, boy, does her achieved mastery of pacing, cliffhangers and depictions of physical violence come in handy here.
The only thing that's ungainly about Future Home of the Living God is its title; otherwise it's a streamlined dystopian thriller. Along with a series of jittery escape and fight scenes, Erdrich conjures up a 12-page description in which a pregnant friend of Cedar's, who's hiding out in a cave, goes into labor. It's a scene that's matchless in its precision and terror.
Also scattered throughout this breathless novel are beautiful meditative passages where Cedar, in those letters to her baby, considers the world gone wrong and the approaching apocalypse. Here's one:
We are so brief. A one-day dandelion. A seedpod skittering across the ice. We are a feather falling from the wing of a bird. I don't know why it is given to us to be so mortal and to feel so much. It is a cruel trick, and glorious.
In a postscript, Erdrich tells her readers that she first hatched the idea for Future Home of the Living God on a road trip with her daughters in 2001. Clearly, as the widespread heightened appreciation of The Handmaid's Tale indicates, this is the right cultural moment for feminist dystopian fiction. That's good news, at least for literature.

New figures show dementia is now the leading cause of death for women in Scotland
TOPICS:BMJdementiaresearchscotland
Posted By: Enable Magazine 2 August, 2018
Population figures released from the National Records of Scotland show dementia and Alzheimer's have overtaken heart disease as the most common cause of death for women across Scotland.
It's estimated that there are 850,000 people in the UK living with dementia or Alzheimer's, which leads to daily memory loss, language difficulties and changes in personality, for example, becoming aggressive, paranoid or hostile.
Figures within the report highlight that Alzheimer's claimed the lives of 4,384 women in 2017, compared to 2,693 deaths due to heart disease: a significant difference. The report shows a stark change from figures dating back to the year 2000 where dementia didn't appear in the cause of death top five.
With more women living longer and into advanced age the figures seem to depict the change: there are currently 29,337 women in Scotland over the age of 90, compared to only 12,388 men. This is expected to double by 2041.
Similarly, across the UK the number of people living with dementia is set to rise and, unfortunately, as of yet, there is no cure for the condition.
"Dementia is currently incurable and while positive developments in treatment are happening more frequently, the critical challenge for the Scottish Government is how to better prevent dementia and to improve the quality of life of those living with it and their carers," says Age Scotland's chief executive Brian Sloan.
It has also been revealed that people who abstain from alcohol in middle age could be at a heightened risk of dementia in later life. A long-term study on more than 9,000 people from the British Medical Journal (BMJ) were released highlighting the results.
Following participants aged between 35 and 55 beginning in the mid 1980s, the study found that abstaining from alcohol in midlife led to a 45 per cent increased risk of dementia compared to participants who consumed one to 14 units of alcohol per week.
As studies into dementia continue, it's hoped that more information will become available. More knowledge and understanding of the condition is the first step to gathering valuable medical detail on how to prevent, treat and cure dementia.

When Nancy Mitford published her views on what made Britons "U" or "non-U" in 1954, her friends were aghast. "There are subjects too intimate for print," Evelyn Waugh chided her.
"Surely class is one?" Class, and class prejudice, infuse our national character. We may have moved beyond the rigidities of the famous Frost Report sketch with Cleese, Barker and Corbett ("I look up to him… but I look down on him"), but we are still fascinated with social standing.
We lap up tales of the Bullingdon Club, devour episodes of Downton Abbey and are even, if BBC schedulers are to be believed, in the market for an updated version of Keeping Up Appearances. Yet our attitude towards class is peculiarly conflicted.
As Waugh wrote to Mitford, " class distinctions in England have always been the matter for higher feeling than national honour, the matter of feverish but very private debate". According to the latest data, two thirds of us refuse to pigeonhole ourselves as belonging to a particular class - instead, from the cleaner to the chief executive, we position ourselves "somewhere in the middle".
For Mike Savage, this position is hypocritical bunkum. He believes that while their nature has changed, class distinctions are as real and as powerful as ever - more so than we can easily accept. Savage is one of the academics behind the Great British Class Survey, whose " Class Calculator" was filled in by seven million people when it appeared on the BBC website in 2013.
Such was its success that demand for theatre tickets spiked by 191 per cent - because the survey reminded us that theatre-going was a sign of poshness. What Savage and his colleagues are trying to prove in this book - based on the findings of their class survey as well as interviews with Britons from across the socioeconomic spectrum - is essentially Piketty plus.
The French academic argued in his book Capital in the 21st Century (2014) that inequality was increasing because of wealth as well as income: the rich had not just higher salaries but larger houses. Savage and his team say that this applies not just to economic capital but social and cultural capital, too.
The elite end up owning the best houses, knowing the right people, and being able to talk to them about the right things at job interviews. Even if you somehow make it to the top of the heap, you'll always feel ever so slightly out of place.
Well, yes, but only up to a point. This book marshals impressive evidence to show how inequality is increasing and, in particular, how being a London professional - and owning property there - pushes you up into the economic stratosphere.
But giving cultural capital such high status seems odd: who would swap opera tickets for a property in Zone 2? Indeed, the least convincing part of the book is its attempt to erect a new class system, based on the economic/cultural/ social split, to replace the familiar C2s and ABC1s.
Of the seven classes it suggests exist, there are convincing portraits of the "elite" (the six per cent, largely London-based, with high economic, cultural and social capital) and the "precariat" (the 15 per cent, scattered across the country, with none of these).
But the classes in between are hazy, mushy things: a few hours after finishing the book, I could only remember the name of one. Still, there is plenty here that is both convincing and fascinating. Savage is excellent on the "transmission of advantage" - the mechanisms by which man hands on prosperity to man.
He is also interesting on our attitudes to class. The new elite, he says, defines itself against the old-school "Establishment", with its members able to justify their staggering wealth because they do not have titles or country houses.
Yet this insistence on being "ordinary" rubs up against an increasing contempt for the precariat's customs and values - and a secret pride in success. The " Class Calculator", for example, was primarily clicked on by those at the top of the food chain: those at the bottom already knew where they sat.
There is plenty more to discover. We find out what habits separate the rich from the poor, which universities and professions confer the greatest advantage, how likely different people are to know those from across the social spectrum, and that there is a " social class pay gap" as well as a gender one.
The results are sure to fuel arguments about inequality and opportunity. Yet, ultimately, it is impossible to avoid feeling almost as conflicted about Social Class in the 21st Century as about the class system itself.
The book pretends to accessible objectivity, but is clearly arguing a particular point of view - not only about the nature of the economy, but also about the merits of Savage et al's own survey.
But the book's real flaw is not its politics, but its writing. Savage has plenty of interesting things to say, but he says them in a style that is remorselessly academic.
You find yourself longing for his team to have dumped their findings in the lap of an author with a real flair for both the English language and English peculiarities - a Waugh, a Mitford, or an Orwell - and let them loose on the data. The result would have been far less rigorous, but a great deal easier to digest.

"The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) congratulates the bipartisan group of senators for their leadership in, and commitment to, finding common ground by moving the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021. It's taken tremendous work and creativity on their part to get the legislation to this point. America's legislators urge members of the House and Senate to build on the momentum and finalize an investment package that addresses the nation's dire infrastructure needs as soon as possible. NCSL is eager to work with Congress and the administration to help them understand the urgency of why this is a paramount priority for states and how best to design a program that leverages the power of the states to get America moving again."
NCSL is a bipartisan organization that serves the legislators and staffs of the states, commonwealths and territories. It provides research, technical assistance and opportunities for policymakers to exchange ideas on the most pressing state issues and is an effective and respected advocate for the interests of the states in the American federal system.


The Arewa Consultative Youths Movement (ACMY) says it will conduct a mock election for top Presidential aspirants from the North to ascertain their popularity ahead of the 2019 general election.
ACMY President, Alhaji Kabiru Yusuf, stated this on Thursday in Abuja while speaking at the National Delegate Congress of the movement.
Yusuf, who had just been re-elected at the congress, said the aspirants would include President Muhammadu Buhari, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Gov. Aminu Tambuwal and Malam Sule Lamido, among others.
He explained that the essence was to ensure that members of the movement give their support to a youth-friendly aspirant that would share their aspirations and visions for Nigerian youths toward a developed and united country.
"We shall in due course, conduct a mock election with a view to feeling the pulse of Arewa Youths in Nigeria and eventually decide on a most prospective candidate.
"The mock election will soon commence on our website, and it will last for a period of 60 days before the announcement of the results.
"I enjoin all of us to think critically about this before we make our choice and to mobilise our members to take active part.
"There cannot be a better chance for us to contribute to give Nigeria the kind of leadership it deserves in the 21st century,"´ Yusuf said.
He called on youths across the country to ensure that they register and obtain their Permanent Voters' Card (PVC) ahead of the 2019 general elections.
Yusuf stressed that it was time for members of the movement to enthrone good leadership in the country because according to him, the country's past leaders had failed the people.
"We must take the bull by the horn, we must change the narrative, the time to make this correction is now, and we must not delay anymore," he said.
Yusuf added that it is now the responsibility of Northern youths to ensure that the poverty and insecurity in the region are tackled head-on.
He maintained that those benefiting from the poverty in the land must be stopped because the education and general well being of the youths in the region is not their priority.
"They have failed us, in line with that, we shall focus on the 2019 general election, it is yet another chance to correct the leadership problems facing the North and Nigeria generally," Yusuf said.
He said the movement is poised to give Nigerians a candidate that would rebuild and unify the country as well as obey the rule of law.
He noted that several politicians and aspirants had indicated interest in the coming presidential election, saying that the movement had, therefore, shortlisted notable ones as likely candidates from the North.
This, he said, included but not limited to President Muhammadu Buhari, formal Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, Gov. Ibrahim Dankwambo, Amb. Sule Lamido and Alhaji Ahmed Makarfi.
He thanked the Almighty Allah and those who ensured his re-election and assured them that he would leave up to the expectations.
Yusuf also thanked those who contested the election with him for accepting the majority decision.

1000s march for Choice through Dublin on Saturday 26th September - report with videos of speeches
Thousands of people took to the streets of Dublin Saturday 26th September on the warmest, sunniest day in quite some time, to demand the fundamental right to abortion services on this island. The 4th annual March for Choice, organised by the Abortion Rights Campaign, began with a gathering at the Garden of Remembrance on Parnell Square.
MCed by comedian and writer, Tara Flynn, who gave a heartfelt speech about her own abortion story followed by more impassioned, angry and emotional words from Annie Hoey from USI, Mara Clarke of Abortion Support Network and Mary La Cambra from the Trade Union Campaign to Repeal the 8th, who revealed that the ICTU has taken a position in favour of repealing the 8th amendment, which keeps abortion illegal in ireland. Then Speaking of Imelda, a direct action feminist performance group, performed as secular bishops absolving us of patriarchy and misogyny
After this the multitudes heeded the closing words of the piece, "Stand tall and speak with your feet", marching down O'Connell St, across the Liffey and around Merrion Square, all the while chanting slogans such as, "Get your rosaries of our ovaries", "What do we want? REPEAL THE 8TH! When do we want it? NOW" and "Smash the Church, smash the State, women must decide their fate", to assemble, overlooked by government buildings, for more speeches including a particularly brilliant one by the very impressive Eileen Flynn from the Irish Traveller Movement, and Clare Daly, who spoke of plans to table legislation that would provide for a referendum on the 8th - this is welcome news but it seems unlikely to make headway in the dáil, though we can hope. She also mentioned Farmers for Choice, which goes to show the diverse level of support for action on the issue, in the face of government inaction.
Other speakers included: Emma Campbell, Alliance for Choice; Sinead Redmond, AIMS Ireland; Valerie Molayfrom, AKiDwA (migrant support group); Mary Favier, Doctors for Choice; Colm O'Gorman, Amnesty International; Justine Murphy, Abortion Rights Campaign (ARC). (Videos at end of page)
Access to abortion for people living in Ireland is currently divided on class lines, people with the privileges of money and the ability to travel can access services in other countries, but no one else can. This needs to end. Repeal the 8th!
WORDS: John Roche
Dublin city centre came to a halt Saturday as thousands of people marched for choice and against Ireland's anti-women law that would jail people who access abortion here for up to 14 years.
The key demand is to Repeal the 8th Amendment which was passed at the height of clerical control back in 1983. So long ago that nobody who voted on it would now be in a position to even become pregnant. More that 2/3rd of the population want abortion to be decriminalised, only 25% want the current criminalisation to remain yet Enda Kenny has announced he has no intention of introducing a referendum to Repeal the 8th.
In the meantime 12 people a day have to travel to the UK for beyond to access abortion while an unknown number risk a prison sentence by ordering abortion pills off the internet and self-administering at home in Ireland. A women in the north which has similar laws is being prosecuted for supplying the pills to her own daughter.
It might suit Kenny's electoral interest's to allow this deplorable situation to continue but there are real consequences of that calculation every day as people make what is often an expensive and difficult journey to access medical care they should be able to access here.

Magnets have fascinated mankind for centuries, but not before the XVth century were they described in a scientific manner (Wiliam Gilbert). Legend says a Greek shepherd named Magnès (from the Magnesia region in the north of Greece) found himself stuck to a black rock already 4,000 years ago (he was wearing hobnailed shoes).
They are now found in numerous objects in our daily life, notably in all electric motors. Without going into technical considerations, note that neodymium magnets are the most powerful permanent magnets (black magnets made of ferrite, more common, bond much less strongly).
our range of neodymium magnets is composed of very small models, all inferior to 1cm: it is therefore ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE to KEEP THEM OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN, who like us, find them very amusing, but risk swallowing them or getting pinched when playing with them.
neodymium magnets are FRAGILE: a brutal shock (fall, shock between two powerful magnets) can break them definitely. If that happens, we encourage you to throw away the fragments immediately.
Please consult our precautions of use concerning neodymium magnets.
very practical to hang small objects on any metal surface.
very practical to hang heavy objects on any metal surface.
less holes - when you can avoid making holes, why go without them?
more creativity - neodymium magnets allow you to imagine new ways of tidying, organising, and presenting objects; paired with magnetic bulletin boards or magnetic metal strips, they again multiply the possible options.


How do mutations to DNA drive evolution? What role does the environment play in the natural selection of living things?
In Islands of Adaptation, students learn about evolution and natural selection through a modified version of Hungry-Hungry Hippos. Using Darwin's Galapagos finches as a starting point, we substitute beaks for office supplies and seeds for craft objects. The aim of the game is for students to (calmly) collect as many 'seeds' as they can with their 'beak'. Students quickly realize which tools work best, leading to a discussion about the relationship between the distibutions of food source and physical adaptations. This experience serves as a good platform to build an understanding of natural selection, mutation as a driver of evolution and other more advanced aspects of evolutionary biology.

Let's face it. No is perfect. We all make mistakes. Some of us make nutrition mistakes that we do not even realize thinking that we are doing what is right for our bodies. For bodybuilders, the mistakes are compounded because of the importance that nutrition plays to our workouts.
Here are a few nutrition mistakes that you may be making without realizing that they are bad for you.
I believe that this is a misdemeanor crime in some U.S. states. If it is not, it should be. If you feel that you cutting out all of those calories from an entire meal, shame on you. Research has shown that people who skip meals tend to be overweight. This is even more so that case with people who skip breakfast.
Part of the problem with skipping meals is that these same people are hungry at their next meal time, and hungry people tend to make bad nutritional decisions. People have an internal emotional battle telling themselves that this next meal decision is justified because they missed their earlier meal.
As I have said before, you shouls be counting your calories and logging them. These analytics are invaluable on many levels. What many people do when logging calories is to not count the little things such as butter on your bread, sauce on your meal, a few bites at a time, etc. All of these little things accumulate to big things rather quickly. The solution is to log what you eat, and that means everything that you eat.
The majority of people out there are doing this. Eat your vegetables to ensure that you are getting the right amount of fiber, which slows the digestive process and keeps you feeling full for longer periods of time. Some vegetables are great for energy as well.
Pile vegetables like lettuce, tomato, peppers, cucumbers and mushrooms on your sandwiches.
Use lettuce to wrap your sandwiches instead of bread.
Snack on cut vegetable as your snacks.
Instead of dipping crackers or chips, try vegetables.
Add vegetable to your main course whether it is pizza, sandwiches, eggs, soups, pasta, etc.
Fruit juices are often little more than water mixed with sugar and fruit concentrate. Some fruit juices are simply chemicals made to taste like fruit. Most fruit juices have the same amount of sugar as a soda. There is also little to no fiber in fruit juice.
The simple rule here is that, if it looks like it was made in a factory, avoid it. Fresh turkey breast is good for you. Processed lunchmeat turkey breast is loaded with sodium and other additives. Even canned vegetables are loaded with preservatives and contain high sodium levels.
If you are looking for a strict diet to follow, check out the Paleo diet. The basic rule is that you eat what a caveman would have eaten.


You've possibly fallen slightly foul of this being the first time anything like this has been suggested on here. Even the 32bit side of stardot is very 8bit minded in comparison to the other riscos specific sites. By that I mean that most things are cooked up in bedrooms and pushed out after they've been developed as a labour of love.
The last kickstarter type thing that popped up on here (a book about the history of acorn) completely failed to deliver.
People are really happy to buy the finished products though! I just think people are struggling with things like drm and crowd funding development of something as you'll find most people on this board do it for the love and not the money.
And then of course you've got people trying to express themselves through the crude medium of text on a message board with varying degrees of elegance. Don't take it personally, do be encouraged, do be open to think about different models of getting something back from your endeavours.
My advice for gauging the size of the current risc os games market would be to contact Antony Bartram of AMCOG games, he's released 8 commercial titles over the last couple of years.
From previous discussions with him I would expect 100 sales of a single title would be considered excellent.
Incidentally, I voted 'Not interested' in the poll, even though I am in the target demographic. Purely personally I don't do kickstarter, or purchase any game that a) isn't finished b) doesn't have a demo or a third party review.
Square Mezzmer wrote: I see the poll currently has just more "non-interested" than commited replies. Why would this be? Please comment.
I did also get positive replies about how to adapt the product and Kickstarter!
Hello Square Mezzmer and welcome to the forum!
I've been reading this thread with interest. Like others, I do feel a bit sorry for you over some of the negative feedback that you've had; but I can empathise with those posters as well. My own initial reaction on reading your first post was one of scepticism,but you've won me round.
danielj wrote: You've possibly fallen slightly foul of this being the first time anything like this has been suggested on here.
That's exactly what I was thinking. A new game for Risc OS (especially, as originally suggested, the RiscPC only) is a very unusual thing in itself (actually I thought there hadn't been any for years - I had not heard of AMCOG games). Combine that with ideas like Kickstarter and DRM, which are pretty much unheard of within this community, and you were likely to make most people wary.
Anyway based on the re-worded poll, I've voted positively - but just to be clear, KickStarter is very much a "NonStarter" for me. I think I'd only ever be interested in KickStarter if it were for a project which (a) I really, really wanted and (b) I thought was commercially viable. Much as I'd like to see a new Risc OS game, I don't reckon that any game for that platform would fulfil either requirement.
One other thing I've been wondering about... would developing a 32 bit game be much more difficult than an 8 bit game? Obviously it's easier to exploit the power of the machine to create the same game, but expectations tend to be much higher for a more powerful machine, which I assume is the reason why the BBC has quite a few new games whereas the Arc doesn't.
Good luck with your game. I've put my name down as willing to buy a copy.
Are you registered on the ROOL site?
I've been writing and selling games for the last 3 years on 32 bit RISC OS systems. I cover my costs and make a profit (which is increasing) each year. I've sold on the order of hundreds of games in total. Its very hard to tell exactly how big RISC OS actually is, although it has certainly grown since the Raspberry Pi was released - which is when I joined.
Good luck with the project! I don't have any Acorn ARM hardware (any more... used to have an A4000 when I was younger) but will be watching this with interest.
Well, I've changed my mind and checked the first option just because I think it's a great idea to have a new game at any time it's possible, especially for the older machines as they are the 'true' computers, the rest, pretenders to the throne. The old beasts need to stay viable so people will actually know what a computer really is..... something that's lacking in today's world really.
Firstly, I would also agree with several others here in saying that KickStarter probably won't work for this. Posting a development blog on here is more likely to get people involved.
The poll offered no options between "I'm willing to commit money in advance to a project by an unknown author" and "I'm not interested". Had there been "If you publish a good game, I'll pay money for it" or "more games are always good, especially if they turn out to be fun and playable" options in between them, those might have got a lot of ticks.

Great idea indeed! I'd love to.
More good suggestions and very "helpful". I should really text edit and print out these pointers!
I'm planning to go to Wakefield with said Software/Graphics Developer. ROUGOL sounds good for March 19th.
Thanks a lot Bryan, very kind (helpful) advices.
Square Mezzmer wrote: ROUGOL sounds good for March 19th.
Well I don't have a speaker organised for that meeting, so if you wanted to get up and talk about your plans/ideas you would be very welcome!
Yes, I'd very much like that. I'm no stranger to presentations. I might add you as a friend and message you from here Bryan.
Here's the prototype in a little video running on Windows 10.
Sorry about the slow frame rate, it does cause some little graphical issues!
Square Mezzmer (aka Tim!) and Tony from AMCOG Games will be coming along to this Monday's ROUGOL meeting to talk all about games development.
Here's a better quality video I recorded of gameplay - running at 60fps.
I hope to evoke a lot more action and effects in this simple but playable platformer.

In graph theory, a Ptolemaic graph is an undirected graph whose shortest path distances obey Ptolemy's inequality, which in turn was named after the Greek astronomer and mathematician Ptolemy. The Ptolemaic graphs are exactly the graphs that are both chordal and distance-hereditary; they include the block graphs and are a subclass of the perfect graphs.

Characterization
A graph is Ptolemaic if and only if it obeys any of the following equivalent conditions:
The shortest path distances obey Ptolemy's inequality: for every four vertices , , , and , the inequality  holds. For instance, the gem graph (3-fan) in the illustration is not Ptolemaic, because in this graph , greater than .
For every two overlapping maximal cliques, the intersection of the two cliques is a separator that splits the differences of the two cliques. In the illustration of the gem graph, this is not true: cliques  and  are not separated by their intersection, , because there is an edge  that connects the cliques but avoids the intersection.
Every -vertex cycle has at least  diagonals.
The graph is both chordal (every cycle of length greater than three has a diagonal) and distance-hereditary (every connected induced subgraph has the same distances as the whole graph). The gem shown is chordal but not distance-hereditary: in the subgraph induced by , the distance from  to  is 3, greater than the distance between the same vertices in the whole graph. Because both chordal and distance-hereditary graphs are perfect graphs, so are the Ptolemaic graphs.
The graph is chordal and does not contain an induced gem, a graph formed by adding two non-crossing diagonals to a pentagon.
The graph is distance-hereditary and does not contain an induced 4-cycle.
The graph can be constructed from a single vertex by a sequence of operations that add a new degree-one (pendant) vertex, or duplicate (twin) an existing vertex, with the exception that a twin operation in which the new duplicate vertex is not adjacent to its twin (false twins) can only be applied when the neighbors of the twins form a clique. These three operations without the exception form all distance-hereditary graph. To form all Ptolemaic graphs, it is not enough to use pendant vertices and true twins; the exceptional case of false twins is sometimes also required.
The Hasse diagram of the subset relation on nonempty intersections of maximal cliques forms an oriented tree.
The convex subsets of vertices (subsets that contain every shortest path between two vertices in the subset) form a convex geometry. That is, every convex set can be reached from the whole vertex set by repeatedly removing an extreme vertex, one that does not belong to any shortest path between the remaining vertices. In the gem, the convex set  cannot be reached in this way, because neither  nor  is extreme.

Computational complexity
Based on the characterization by oriented trees, Ptolemaic graphs can be recognized in linear time.

Enumeration
The generating function for Ptolemaic graphs can be described symbolically, allowing the fast calculation of the numbers of these graphs. Based on this method, the number of Ptolemaic graphs with  labeled vertices, for , has been found to be
1, 1, 4, 35, 481, 9042, 216077, 6271057, 214248958, 8424002973, 374708368981, 18604033129948, 1019915376831963, ...

2019 New Zealand Education Fairs set for landing late this month
More than 50 of New Zealand's education institutions will be travelling to Vietnam to showcase their country's world-class learning environment at the New Zealand Education Fairs in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi on March 23 and 24, respectively.
New Zealand is regarded as having one of the best education systems worldwide
The fairs will present a wide range of New Zealand scholarships, including the latest New Zealand Schools Scholarships (NZSS) offered exclusively to Vietnamese students.
A series of seminar sessions will also be held concurrently to help prospective students fully prepare for their upcoming journey to the country No. 1 in the world for "Educating for the Future."
The fairs, organised by Education New Zealand with the support of the New Zealand Embassy (Hanoi) and the New Zealand Consulate (Ho Chi Minh City), are the country's largest in-market promotional events in the calendar year.
On these auspicious occasions, there will also be a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing between Waikato University (New Zealand) and Ton Duc Thang University (Vietnam), as well as between the government agencies of the two countries, marking continued progress for Vietnam-New Zealand education links.
The fairs will be promoting a wide range of scholarships for different levels of study including the New Zealand Schools Scholarships (NZSS), which provide support for talented Vietnamese high school students with scholarships offering 100 per cent, 50 per cent, and 30 per cent off tuition fees for the first year of study.
Applications for the NZSS have already opened and the details can be found at http://bit.ly/NZSS2019.
There will also be scholarships available for Vietnamese postgraduate students, as well as numerous scholarships offered by institutions joining the fairs.
"We appreciate that for Vietnamese students and parents, the decision-making process for selecting an international education destination is very thorough. And we believe that our New Zealand education fairs provide a fantastic opportunity for them to speak directly with our world-class education institutions, as well as our Vietnamese alumni, to better inform those decisions," said Ben Burrowes, Education New Zealand's regional manager, East Asia.
"Through the one-on-one discussions at our fairs in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, prospective Vietnamese students can discover which New Zealand institutions and programmes of study are best suited to their individual interests and career aspirations. They can also learn why the New Zealand education system is ranked at the very top of the world for preparing its students for the future," Burrowes added.
The Economist Intelligence Unit's 2017 Educating for the Future Index ranked New Zealand as the best education system overall, earning full marks for the curriculum framework for future skills, collaboration between education providers and industry, and cultural diversity and tolerance, among other measures.
New Zealand's reputation for its future skills expertise, as well as its safe and welcoming environment for international students, have been the key reasons behind the continued increase in Vietnamese students choosing the country as their international education destination.
The number of Vietnamese students increased by 7 per cent in 2018 (34 per cent for the high school sector), with over 2,500 Vietnamese now studying in New Zealand.
The 2019 fairs will also include a special workshop on pilot training opportunities in New Zealand.
As well as speaking directly to all the individual New Zealand institutions, visitors to the fairs will be able to join a series of special seminars where they can learn more general information from education experts and anecdotes from Vietnamese alumni as they share their experiences studying in New Zealand.
Especially, visitors to both fairs will also stand a chance to win a pair of return air tickets to New Zealand (via Singapore) through a joint sponsorship between Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines.
Both airlines provide passengers with direct access to Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington via Singapore.
The passengers will also enjoy seamless connections to 20 domestic destinations within New Zealand on Air New Zealand domestic flights. There will be lucky draws held at both fairs and the winners will get to enjoy both Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines' services for their flights.

In 1962 a Massey Ferguson Corporate Coordinating Committee was formed to look at what was needed to meet the competition from other manufactures. The result was the DX -line (100 & 1000). There were three major points for the new line. First was to develop a all new line and not upgrading the old models. Second, the new line should include tractors in the highest horsepower range. And third, the new line would be designed and produced in the most economical locations, and as similar as possible for the different markets.
In 1971 the MF-178 replaced the MF-175. Later the MF-185 replaced the MF-178. And a spacer was introduced on the "Super Spec" tractors, between the gearbox and rear axel lengthen the wheelbase, allowing fitting of a safety cab. With the spacer the MF-135 became the MF-148, the MF-165 became the MF-168, the MF-185 became the MF-188. The "Super Spec" tractors had independent PTO, Multipower and high capacity hydraulic pump.
The smallest was the Vineyard and Orchard tractors based on the MF-130 and MF-135. The were named the MF-122, MF-140 and MF-145. Vineyard had a wheel track of around 39" the Orchard around 54" all were built in France.
The most powerful tractors of the DX-line was the ones in the DX-1000 -line, you can find them in another page.
The originally series: The MF-130, -135, -150, -165 & -175 produced from 1965 onwards.
Produced in France from 1965-72 with a Perkins 4.107 engine. The tractor was intended for the French market. It's a up rated and restyled MF-25 (basically the same tractor under the sheet metal). It was produced until 1972 and was replaced with the MF-230 in 1976.
Drawing of a MF130 1965 model. For the UK-market 1965 model. For the Western Hemisphere, without lights. 1965 model.
Produced from 1965 till 1979. The MF-135 replaced the MF-35. It was available with diesel or petrol engines, the Perkins AD3.152 (2490ccm) for diesel power and Continental Z134* (2195ccm) and Z145* (2375ccm) for petrol power. Later models could be supplied with a Perkins petrol engine, the AG3.152. Gears: 6 forward and 2 reverse on all models. Multi-power doubled it.
The MF-135 & MF-150 used the same engines and bore the same relationships to each other as the older MF-35 & MF-50 did.
*) The Z134 in the MF-135 Special, and the Z145 in the MF-135 Deluxe.
A MF-135 from Denmark. A MF-135 a special??
MF-135 Petrol Deluxe Continental Z-145 35,4 110 lb-ft / 1,300rpm.** inline 4 2376ccm 6+2 / 12+4* Rear: 14.9/13 x 24 3,200 lb.
*Note: Update model from 1971.
MF-135 4x4, a special or?
I wondered if the 4x4 MF135 was a special, but Gerrit Preuter knew what it was, he says: "The MF 135 4wd is not a rare item. Almost all MF 100 series you could buy as a 4wd version. The 4wd version where mainly sold in mountain country or to farmers with bad ground"
Produced from 1965 till 75. the MF-150 replaced the MF-50 and was only available for the western hemisphere. It used a Perkins A3.152 diesel engine and could be be delivered with Continental Z145 and later a Perkins AG3.152 petrol engine. Basically the same tractor as the MF-135. For technical data see MF-135.
Not the best one around, a 1974 mod.
The MF-155, another tractor that I don't know much about. It was produced from 1972 to 1976. It had a Perkins AD4.203 engine with a output of 56hp. The same engine as early MF-165 tractors. If you know something about the MF-155, or have some better pictures that I have, please let me know.
If you have some additional information / pictures, or find some of the data is wrong. Or that I have used copyright pictures- Please e-mail me.

Q: RBAC access denied when deploying an API on kubeflow cluster I have deployed kubeflow on a cluster and I managed to configure everything to access it properly.
The problem is when I tried deploying a small API (Deployment & LoadBalancer) on that same cluster in a different namespace and accessing it.
My user should have all the rights and I manage to deploy it properly but when I try to access it on the default route I'm getting RBAC: access denied

A: Try Below Solutions :
1) If a pod doesn't have sidecar.istio.io/inject annotation, it will not be injected Sidecar by default. And because of the istio-system's global-deny-all AuthorizationPolicy policy, the pod is not accessible.

$ kubectl get AuthorizationPolicy -A
NAMESPACE                   NAME                              AGE
istio-system                cluster-local-gateway             5d10h
istio-system                global-deny-all                   5d10h
istio-system                istio-ingressgateway              5d10h
...

$ kubectl get AuthorizationPolicy global-deny-all -n istio-system -o yaml
apiVersion: security.istio.io/v1beta1
kind: AuthorizationPolicy
metadata:
  annotations:
    kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration: |
      {"apiVersion":"security.istio.io/v1beta1","kind":"AuthorizationPolicy","metadata":{"annotations":{},"name":"global-deny-all","namespace":"istio-system"},"spec":{}}
  creationTimestamp: "2021-06-11T14:51:22Z"
  generation: 1
  name: global-deny-all
  namespace: istio-system
  resourceVersion: "1191"
  uid: e8b243c6-23c9-48a7-8947-b297ffd7d302
spec: {}

Set an allow-all AuthorizationPolicy, the serving pod was accessible
apiVersion: security.istio.io/v1beta1
kind: AuthorizationPolicy
metadata:
  name: allow-all
  namespace: kubeflow-user-example-com
spec:
 rules:
 - {}

Note : You should not apply this AuthorizationPolicy, as it allows all traffic from anywhere to access your namespace. Which would also mean others can access your notebook instances, for example.
You do want to allow all communication within the namespace, so you try to add a selector for the same namespace.
apiVersion: security.istio.io/v1beta1
kind: AuthorizationPolicy
metadata:
  name: allow-all-from-same-ns
  namespace: kubeflow-user-example-com
spec:
  action: ALLOW
  rules:
  - from:
     - source:
        namespaces: ["kubeflow-user-example-com"]

2) Disable Sidecar for the namespace using a kubectl command.
Another option would be to disable Istio injection for the xxx pods by adding the sidecar.istio.io/inject: "false" label to the pods.
You can find how to disable Istio Sidecar by adding a label for the namespace.
Disable the Sidecar for the two related pods by running the commands below.
$ kubectl label pods <20210601-zjwzh-3877683498> -n kubeflow-user-example-com sidecar.istio.io/inject="false"  --overwrite

$ k label pod <xxx-infraval-modelserver-72n7m> -n kubeflow-user-example-com sidecar.istio.io/inject="false"  --overwrite

3) Update the ServiceRoleBinding which is actually generated/monitored/managed by the profile controller in the kubeflow namespace instead of the validating webhook.
The RBAC issue is based on the params.yaml in the profiles manifest folder, the rule is generated as
request.headers[]: regal.l.c.lei@XXXX.com

instead of
request.headers[kubeflow-userid]: regal.l.c.lei@XXXX.com

Check you may mis-configed the value as blank instead of userid-header=kubeflow-userid in the params.yaml.
Also please check the kubernetes official document how to Determine Whether a Request is Allowed or Denied for more information.


Obamacare turns 4: Who's cheering, who's heckling?
The controversial health care mandate is top of the pops in politics, but the real measure of Obamacare will be in the looming roll-out of its most controversial caveats.
Counselor Carol Hill helps Jae K Lee and his wife Myung Lee, of Edison, N.J. with the assistance of translator Ashley Yook, during an event at Holy Name Medical Center Tuesday. March 18, 2014.
Perhaps the most telling statistic about the Affordable Care Act as the controversial law turns four years old on Sunday is this: 70 percent of Americans still don't know they could get their healthcare subsidized under the law.
But for those who do understand what the law is, what it does, and how it's changing life in America, Obamacare's 4th anniversary is a major turning point for the biggest federal entitlement expansion since the 1960s.
To illustrate the stakes, nearly 40 "Moral Monday" protesters were arrested in Atlanta this week as they disrupted capitol proceedings to complain about Republican lawmakers opting the state out of the law's Medicaid expansion.
President Obama meanwhile lauded the law's impact on healthcare for women while Republican party chairman Reince Priebus called it a "poisonous issue" for the ruling party in Washington, which has to face Obamacare's liabilities in its defense of a Senate majority in November.
While Democrats pushed the law's myriad benefits ahead of the March 31 deadline to sign up – 5 million Americans have signed up, short of a 7 million goal – others, like top Internet aggregator Matt Drudge, announced they had paid the first Obamacare tax – which he dubbed "Liberty Tax" – for opting out of the law.
Given the Democrats' truth-twisting in campaign tidbits like "If you like your health insurance, you can keep your health insurance" – in fact, lots of people were dropped from their health plans – the law will likely only become more irresistible to Republicans as unintended consequences pile up.
"Millions of Americans have personally discovered that they can't keep their coverage, can't afford their premiums, can't see their doctor, and can't work as many hours," wrote Sen. John Barrasso (R) of Wyoming on Fox News.
Passed along partisan lines in 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act makes it illegal for insurance companies to turn people away for preexisting conditions, allows parents to keep their kids on policies until age 26, and mandates that all American adults buy a healthcare policy or face an annual tax penalty. OK'd by the Supreme Court, the law, which primarily functions through government "healthcare exchanges," also subsidizes health care policies for low-income Americans.
After a disastrous roll-out in October, Obamacare has become the crux of the 2014 midterm elections. Unpopular among 53 percent of Americans, the law will be hard to defend in competitive districts, and could lead to a Republican takeover of the Senate.
Indeed, a big problem for Democrats is that the math may not ultimately add up. So far, those who will primarily pay for the law's subsidies – young, healthy people – have not yet signed up at the rates Washington was hoping for, suggesting that a large percentage of Obamacare enrollees are older Americans with health problems.
"Although many households qualify for federal subsidies, many others find that the premiums in popular 'silver' plans aren't cheap compared with the modest penalties for skipping coverage," the Monitor's Mark Trumbull wrote this week.
Nevertheless, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, an architect of the law, urged nervous Democrats to strongly defend the law. "I believe that it's a winner," she said.
Four years after its passage in Congress, Obamacare looms over America as a paradox: Despite making healthcare less of a worry and financial drain for millions of Americans, it also represents for many others a creeping, even sinister, intrusion of the federal government into the lives of Americans.
"Whether the improving numbers [in Obamacare sign-ups] can be used to reshape the political climate as it relates to the health care law depends on whether Democrats on the ballot this year in competitive races have the courage to more forcefully rebut the Republican argument that the health care law is a disaster," writes John King, on CNN.
Meanwhile, the long-term problem for Republicans is that, despite its flaws and complexities, Obamacare provides real benefits that may improve its popularity as its benefits become more ubiquitous.
In New Hampshire this week, for instance, Herb Richardson, a Republican lawmaker, called Obamacare a "monstrosity," but later acknowledged the law had been a "financial lifesaver" for his family, CBS News reported.

Terry Lightfoot (* 21. Mai 1935 in Potters Bar, damals in Middlesex, inzwischen in Hertfordshire, England; † 15. März 2013) war ein britischer Klarinettist (auch Gesang) und Bandleader des Traditional Jazz.

Leben und Wirken
Lightfoot, dessen jüngerer Bruder Paddy als Banjospieler bekannt wurde, lernte in der Schule Klarinette. Siebzehnjährig leitete er die Wood Green Stompers und gehörte auch zur Albemarle Jazz Band, bevor er von 1953 bis 1955 seinen Wehrdienst ableisten musste. 1955 gründete er seine eigenen Terry Lightfoot's New Orleans Jazzmen, mit denen er sich ein Jahr später der Profiszene zuwendete. Zu seiner Band gehörten Musiker wie Alan Elsdon und Ginger Baker. Die Band trat auch mit amerikanischen Gästen wie  Kid Ory und Red Allen auf. Mit der zusammen mit Acker Bilk entstandenen EP Clarinet Jamboree sowie mit seiner Aufnahme des Cole-Porter-Hits True Love, mit King Kong und Tavern In The Town hatte er Anfang der 60er Jahre vier Charthits in Großbritannien. Er verließ dann vorübergehend die Musikszene, um 1967 bei Kenny Ball zu spielen. Dann gründete er wieder seine eigene Band, mit der er 1972 auch in der DDR auftrat. Nach einer weiteren Pause zwischen 1978 und 1983, in der er im Hotelgewerbe tätig war, war er wieder mit eigener Band aktiv.

It opens Wednesday and runs through May 12. The reception, with artist's talk, will take place Wednesday, April 21, from 2-4 p.m.
Beyond creating playful art, Millard-Mendez also provides tongue-in-cheek commentary on historical art criticism, established theory, and topics including mythology, science and history.
Millard-Mendez received his BFA at UMass Lowell and an MFA in sculpture at UMass Dartmouth. He teaches art-related courses at UMass Lowell and Northeastern University in Boston and has an ongoing collaboration with the Revolving Museum in Lowell.
Gallery hours are Wednesday-Friday, noon-3 p.m., and Saturday, 1-4 p.m. or by appointment.
The annual BIG show of works by UMass Lowell art students, featuring works in a variety of media, runs April 21-May 12 in the Dugan Gallery, located in the Dugan Hall Art Studios, 883 Broadway Street. Gallery hours are Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m.
Call the gallery coordinator at 978-934-3491 or Art Dept. at 978-934-3494 for information on either exhibit.
