I remember heading out to the fair with my girlfriends, our parents driving us to town, down the the fifteen miles of dusty gravel roads. The aroma of mini donuts and kettle corn greeting us as we hastily escaped the clutches of our parents. The sounds of the local band filtering through the evening air as we looked for our first crush, hoping he'd ask us to ride the ferris wheel, yet at the same time petrified at the prospect of actually talking to a boy. Our stomaches aching from to much sugary cotton candy, our allowance blown on trying to win the giant stuffed panda.
Screams of laughter rising above the sound of the midway rides, I realized a few weeks ago that not a lot has changed. I might be a couple years older (oh who am I kidding, a couple decades older) and a few crushes wiser (this time holding hands with my husband instead of giggling with a cluster of girls when a cute boy glances our way) but a small town fair still brings out the kid in me.

The music here is haunting, wild, beautiful, and always impeccably played.
Karina Erhard and Fie Schouten have taken Holland's new music scene by storm over the last several years with their group, KAIDA. This debut shows why they've been winning prizes throughout Europe, whether playing in small city clubs, at the Darmstadt music festival or in the Concertgebouw. Between the funky grooves from David Lang and the ambient sounds of Salvatore Sciarrino, the music here is haunting, wild, and beautiful, and always impeccably played.
In 1999 the flute-player Karina Erhard together with the bass clarinet-player Fie Schouten founded Kaida. The first four years Kaida was a trio formation: flute, bassclarinet, piano. From the year 2004 onwards, Kaida is expanding their basic duo of flute and bassclarinet and plays in duo formation, but also in various other combinations or with different instrumentalists or other artforms. One of their main goals is to explore the connection between contemporary written and improvised music.
Their refreshing approach to music and high level of playing are convincing: In 2003 KAIDA was awarded the special prize for improvisation at the 'International Gaudeamus Competition' as well as the special prize 'Buffet-Crampon' during the 'International Chamber-music Competition Illzach' (France). In 2001 the ensemble received the the 'Stichting Tera de Marez Oyens Fonds' prize.
Apart from playing regular concerts, the ensemble performed at various large festivals in the Netherlands and abroad, including the International Gaudeamus Musicweek 2002 NL, Festival Spazio Musica Cagliari and Festival Nuovi Spazi Musicali Roma (Italy), tFerienkurse für Neue Musik Darmstadt (Germany), the Ciclo de Música Contemporánea at Tenerife and Bassclarinetfestival of Catalunia (Spain), the festival Music Accord in Illzach (France).
KAIDA has not only comissioned new works from the following composers, but also has been asked to perform premieres from Calliope Tsoupaki, Vanessa Lann, Jorrit Dijkstra, Joe Cutler, Athanasia Tzanou, Filippo Perocco, Stevko Busch, Andrew Ford, Hanna Kulenty, Christiaan de Jong, Marco Beck, Tobias Klein, Andrea Fontemaggi, Nicolas Gilbert, Ned McGowan.
Their first CD 'Of Villages and Spaces' came out in 2005 at Karnatic Lab Records.

Stones in His Pockets
Marie Jones
Theatre Royal Bath Productions and Rose Theatre, Kingston, in association with the McCarter Theatre Centre
Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Guildford
24 to 29 June 2019
The creative team on this production totals twenty-three, actors two. Two brave and hardworking men who take on the multiple characters present a story which covers a clash of cultures, misunderstandings and feelings of resentment or, in some cases, total lack of any feeling at all.
A film company has descended on a small village in Ireland intent on shooting a movie which they think is typically Irish. Well, they're in trouble from the start if they think their idea of Irishness matches the reality.
The scene is set in the country with well-worn grass hillocks, a small drystone wall and a large trunk incongruously in the centre doing duty as a receptacle for clothes, but also representing the Hollywood company who are out of place here. They are using members of the local community as extras who are quite happy with their $40 a day until resentment sets in, not only when they hear the salaries of the stars, but also as they feel downtrodden and degraded, especially when having to take last place at the canteen waggon.
Owen Sharpe and Kevin Trainor do sterling work as the locals Jake and Charlie, switching from their original personas to most of the locals, as well as the 'filum' company from director to female star, and they switch so well and so swiftly yet somehow it just doesn't gel. I remember laughing heartily when I first saw this show a few years ago, yet here it was hard to raise a smile. Difficult to put a finger on what exactly what I thought was wrong. Maybe it was the accents, perhaps the speed of speech, or could it be not enough emphasis on key words or actions.
The two work their socks off in what must be a totally exhausting performance and there certainly are highlights. Sharpe's amazingly flexible body copes with the tiptoeing effeminate director constantly urging the assembled company to "settle, settle", to the crouching walk of the old timer whose claim to fame was that he had been in The Quiet Man, a previous film shot in the same location. Trainor as a simpering, flirty, hair-flicking Caroline Giovanni manages a few yoga poses and the two also indulge (if that's the right word) in a little Irish dancing.
Act two is a big improvement on the laughter front, beginning with the two locals as boys competing in 'ducks and drakes'—skimming stones across the water to see how many bounces they can manage. Here they discuss their hopes and dreams and, as they grow up, the difficulties of achieving what they desire. A little introspection concerns the death of a local drug addict, Shaun, a young man who, ignored by locals and humiliated by Caroline, put stones in his pockets and walked out to sea. He had nowhere else to go.
Jake and Charlie then have the idea of establishing their own film company beginning with Shaun's Story and switching roles so the extras become the stars and the Hollywood actors become the extras. Hope springs eternal in the human breast.

Teen shark attack victim opens up about 'healing' after losing a leg
Home › News › ABC News › Health News
(NEW YORK) — The North Carolina teen who was bit by a shark earlier this summer is now out of the hospital after losing her leg and two fingers, but maintaining a positive attitude, saying "I'm not forgetting my other responsibilities and hopes and dreams and all that."
Paige Winter, 17, was attacked while swimming in waist-deep waters off the coast of North Carolina on June 2. She lost two fingers and her left leg was amputated.
She has been undergoing several types of aggressive physical therapy every day, including mirror therapy, which she told ABC News' Good Morning America is to help "reduce phantom pain in my leg."
Her physical therapists have told GMA that she is doing phenomenally well, though Winter says she's "a little nervous about my hands and the therapy I have to do with them."
"It's going to be pretty rigorous," she added, saying that she has been told she should have 95% function in her right one, but "I don't know how much" in her left.
Despite the injuries she sustained during the harrowing shark attack, Winter's positive attitude has inspired many.
"When I was in the water, I did not see my life pass before my eyes," she said. "I saw my future flash before my eyes, and all the things I wanted to do, and that's why I got out of there."
Her attitude after the shark bite and efforts to bring awareness to marine conservation even caught the eye of Ironman actor Robert Downey Jr., who sent her a special message inviting her to be a part of his new sustainability initiative.
Winter says they are in regular contact now.
"He said we are going to check in every so often and talk about what we're going to do because I can tell he's all for this," she said. "He is all for helping the ocean."
Winter says she has received hundreds of cards and a gifts and bowls of candy from well-wishers.
When she left Vidant Medical Center in Greenville, North Carolina, last week, there was even a small party celebrating her recovery.
Her father, Charlie Winter, admits that there are still some tough times as she works towards her recovery.
"It's not so much a bad day she has … bad moments," he said. "She has moments when she's overwhelmed … but she's got a really amazing uncanny ability to pick herself up."
The teen said she is also working to not forget her goals as she works towards a physical recovery.
"The main focus right now is my therapy and my healing," she said. "I'm not forgetting my other responsibilities and hopes and dreams and all that."
"I cannot change that I don't have a leg, I can't change that I cannot use my hands right now," she said. "I can control what happens in the future, I can do that and that's what I want to do."

Ants may seem like just an annoyance, but they're actually very sophisticated workers. A new study out of Switzerland finds carpenter ant colonies have some startling similarities with the structure of our own corporate ladder.
"Ants are interesting in that they divide labor according to age. The very youngest ants for the most part tend to take care of the queen and the young," says May Berenbaum, who heads the department of entomology at the University of Illinois. "Then they move into the role of custodians and cleaners. And the oldest most experienced individuals go out into the world and forage for resources."
Berenbaum notes that some ants can even skip rungs on the ladder, moving directly from nurse to forager.
"But the thing about this that may be different from human corporations is you can't blame nepotism, because they're all related to each other," Berenbaum says.

Austrian Airlines moves all aircraft (except one) to Tyrolean Airways, Austrian Arrows name being retired
Austrian Airlines (Vienna) as of midnight July 1, 2012 moved all flight operations to lower-cost subsidiary Tyrolean Airways (Innsbruck), including all of the long-range flights. One former Lauda Air Boeing 777-2Z9 (OE-LPB) was kept on the Austrian certificate to maintain its official "airline" status.
The company issued this statement:
"As of July 1, 2012, there will be joint flight operations under the unified Austrian brand name.
The objective: achieving competitive framework conditions enabling profitable operations
All of the flight operations of the Austrian Airlines Group, which has a fleet of some 80 aircraft, are now bundled at its 100% subsidiary Tyrolean Airways. As of July 1, 2012 Tyrolean is also operating the long-distance fleet.
For customers, the so-called "operational transition" will not result in any essential changes. The "Austrian" brand will remain on all aircraft. The flight numbers will also bear the "OS" airline code, as was the case in the past. However, travel agencies and tickets will provide notification on the identity of the operator of the aircraft undertaking all medium and long-distance flights based on the supplementary annotations "VO" or "operated by Tyrolean". The supplementary brand "arrows" found on Tyrolean Airway aircraft will successively be removed by the end of 2012.
What has happened in detail:
• Aircraft fleet: 22 airplanes of the A320 family, 7 Boeing 737s, 6 Boeing 767s and 3 Boeing 777s changed their operators within the Austrian Airlines Group on midnight of July 1, 2012. One Boeing 777, OE-LPB, will stay with Austrian Airlines. This is due to international traffic laws. The outplacement of the fleet of the seven Boeing 737 medium-range airplanes still on hand and the "in-placement" of the seven Airbus A320s forms part of the harmonization of the fleet of medium-range aircraft which is being continued.
• Organization: The organization of the entire flight operations is to be bundled in Tyrolean Airways. Austrian Airlines retains such key responsibilities as station management, the technical department, sales in Austria and abroad, as well as such management departments as network planning, personnel, finances and marketing. There will be no changes in ownership. "Tyrolean Airways Tiroler Luftfahrt GmbH" remains a 100% subsidiary of Austrian Airlines AG.
• Austrian Airlines retains its operation authorization, and remains the user of traffic rights. The flights will be performed under the OS flight numbers. However, they will be "operated by Tyrolean". Austrian Airlines serves some 50 countries from Vienna. No further permits or licenses need to be secured in a large number of countries. This is due to the fact, amongst other reasons, because prevailing legal regulations, especially in the European Union, generally permit this. For countries outside Europe, the requisite approvals have been secured.
• Personnel: some 460 pilots and 1,500 flight attendants are changing their employer within the Group. They will be transferred from Austrian Airlines to Tyrolean Airways. 110 pilots and 214 flight attendants have, in the final analysis, left the company. As a whole, Austrian has 900 pilots and 2,000 flight attendants, including the Tyrolean employees. The employees will not experience any changes in working environments and remuneration. Tyrolean currently has a work force of about 1,500 employees, which will increase to 3,500 employees as a consequence of the operational transition. The Austrian Airlines Group employs approximately 6,700 people.
• Flight plan: to compensate for the departure of the pilots, a series of temporary measures were implemented for the summer flight plan:
• Retraining: The removal of 4 Boeing 737 airplanes from the fleet leaves 31 Boeing 737 pilots available. They have already been trained to fly Airbus A320 airplanes. The cessation of part-time work at Tyrolean has freed 36 Tyrolean co-pilots for other duties. These pilots, who were trained to fly Fokkers, have already been retrained to handle Airbus aircraft.
• Leasing of airplanes: Austrian Airlines will temporarily lease five airplanes from Lufthansa, Augsburg Airways, Contact Air und Welcome Air (wet leases). Lufthansa will provide a 139-seat Boeing 737-300 to fly the OS routes between Vienna and Düsseldorf and between Vienna and Rome in July and August. Lufthansa will assume responsibility for Vienna-Dubai-Vienna in July by flying a 241-seat Airbus 340-300. In a further move, the Salzburg-Frankfurt route, which has been served by Austrian acting under a commission from Lufthansa, will be operated by Lufthansa itself using a Boeing 737-300 for the first two weeks in July. Contact Air will fly a Fokker 100 seating 100 passengers to two of the four daily OS routes between Vienna-Zurich-Vienna and Vienna-Varna-Vienna. This aircraft would have originally been flown as a "wet lease" under a commission of Austrian's associate SWISS. Augsburg Airways, which is part of the Lufthansa Group, will temporarily assume responsibility for one of the four flights serving the route between Vienna-Munich-Vienna and for two of the total of three flights on the Vienna-Stockholm-Vienna route during the period July 15 – August 31. 2012. Welcome Air will use a further a 31-seat Dornier 328 to carry out flights between Vienna and Klagenfurt, Salzburg and Prague, in addition to the existing four of the five flights between Linz und Vienna. Passengers will receive Austrian's on-board services. Austrian will make use of the longer on-ground times by having Austrian Technik conduct maintenance work.
• Freelancers: Some of those pilots that have made use of the privileged termination of employment will be provided with work on a temporary and case-by-case basis.
The reorganization is based on the operational transition is a key component of the EUR 220 million restructuring program presented in January 2012. The objective of the program is the modernization of the structures of Austrian Airlines, so as to bring and sustainably keep Austria's largest domestic airline in the profit zone."
Bottom line: Austrian Airlines (under orders from parent Lufthansa) needed to reduce its cost structure and this dramatic move will probably accomplish this goal.

Austrian Airlines moves its flight operations into lower-cost Tyrolean Airways, pilots will have to work for less
Austrian Airlines' (Vienna) board of directors has approved a plan to move Austrian's flight operations to lower cost Tyrolean Airways (Innsbruck). Austrian issued the following statement:
"The Supervisory Board of Austrian Airlines has concluded the planned transfer of the company's flight operations into its subsidiary, Tyrolean Airways. For legal reasons, the earliest possible date that this operation transfer can take place is July 1, 2012. With this decision the 220 million euro restructuring program has been formally sealed. The aim of the program was to bring the country's largest domestic airline back into profit.
For customers nothing will change as a result of the transfer of flight operations: Austrian Airlines will remain Austrian Airlines – with a fleet of 77 aircraft serving 130 destinations around the world. For the employees of Austrian Airlines flight operations, who are 600 pilots and 1,500 flight attendants, nothing will change in terms of the workplace or actual salary. This is because, the savings should be achieved by means of level salary increases.
One flight operations for Austrian Airlines and Tyrolean:
The next step is to integrate the Austrian flight operations into Tyrolean. In March, a project organization was started with experts and managers of both companies. The aim of the working groups is to organize joint flight operations without a duplication of efforts by the end of the year. Both locations, Vienna and Innsbruck, are part of the future concept in all cases.
An overview of the work program:
• Staff: In the work package "Modernization of Collective Agreements" an agreement was found with the personnel workers´council of the Ground staff and the GPA (Union for private employees). Part of this are a zero growth wage agreement for 2013 and an agreement about the exit from the current pension fund model. Intensive negotiations with the personnel workers´council were lasting until the very last minute. Unfortunately no agreement has been reached. Therefore the transfer of flight operations into the subsidiary Tyrolean will now be realized. With the cost level of Tyrolean Airways, Austrian Airlines has a forward-looking and competitive basis for growth.
• Route network and fleet harmonization: A new flight schedule with a strategic orientation to our domestic market of Austria and strong eastern markets has been developed. The removal from the fleet of eleven medium-haul aircraft of the type Boeing 737 and the acquisition of seven Airbus A320 is underway. Essential here is that suitable aircraft types are found that allow us to carry out the necessary technical requirements, such as adjustments to the engine or cabin, as cost-effectively as possible. The retraining of pilots began back in March. This is being flexibly adjusted, depending upon the time of the successive fleet harmonisation. The "retraining pool" includes pilots of the Boeing 737 and copilots of the Fokker fleet.
• Location: An agreement has been signed with Vienna Airport to secure the common future of the two organizations, and to strengthen the development of transfer- and long-haul traffic. Overall, this should serve to expand the Vienna hub and the long-haul product being offered at the location. A good basis for doing this has been created with the new Austrian Star Alliance Terminal, which will go into operation in June 2012. In the field of handling, too, savings potentials have been identified, and the framework conditions for a long-term agreement have been defined.
• Costs and revenues: Many of the business partners and suppliers want to participate in the future concept of Austrian Airlines and support it in adapting the conditions. With an extension of contracts and cheaper conditions with more than 60 suppliers it was possible to save substantial amounts, running into millions. The revenue side includes the expansion of corporate customer business, through cooperations with Lufthansa Group and partners within Star Alliance."

Austrian Airlines to decide to shift operations to lower cost Tyrolean Airways on April 19
Austrian Airlines (Vienna) will decide on April 19 at its board meeting whether it will transfer all mainline operations to the lower cost Tyrolean Airways (Austrian Arrows) (Innsbruck) subsidiary according to this report by Airliners.de. The flag carrier is currently at odds with its higher cost pilots who do not want to fly at the same rates as the Tyrolean pilots. Parent Lufthansa is pushing Austrian to take drastic actions to reduce costs or it will consider selling its shares in the airline. Austrian is also considering a new name for Tyrolean Airways.

Austrian Airlines (Vienna) has announced it can no longer efficiently operate its 50-seat aircraft operated by Austrian Arrows (marketed as Austrian arrows) (Tyrolean Airways dba) (Innsbruck and Vienna). As a result it will begin phasing out the CRJ200 fleet at the beginning of the 2010 summer season. The company will also reduce its DHC-8-300 fleet and partly replace them with larger DHC-8-400s. In total 14 aircraft will be removed from the fleet of 55 aircraft. An unspecified number of jobs will also be eliminated at the subsidiary.

Well, not entirely lazy days, we have washed the salt from the boat, tackled a mountain of washing (that's the Royal We, i.e. Ann, obviously!) and various other daily chores, plus joined the Lagos Strollers for a wee 16km walk. We have also tried to have some lazy time, relaxing into our new home for the winter and enjoying the 'other side' of our cruising life, that of being able to stop for a while in one place.
Back-tracking a bit, on our overnight passage from Cascais, the autohelm suddenly disengaged early in the morning. Andy tried resetting it to no avail. Whilst he was trying to get it working again, the gas alarm suddenly went off. When I went below to check it (the gas had definitely been switched off at the tap) I found it was the fault alarm that was sounding. I silenced the alarm, but didn't notice that the low battery voltage light was on. Andy twigged as soon as he saw it - with the long hours of darkness, using the instruments, plotter, autohelm and nav lights, despite the wind generator producing a fair amount of power, the batteries had run down to about -87AH and < 10.8 volts, a threshold below which the autohelm and gas alarm don't operate correctly. By this time, the sun was up and we were closing on Cape St Vincent, so we ran the engine for a while before we reached it to charge the batteries. We didn't have this problem crossing Biscay, partly because it was dark for only about 6 hours and partly because we were motoring for part of both nights. At anchor we are normally self-sufficient in power for quite a number of days, depending on wind and sun conditions.
As we mentioned in our last update, through happy circumstance rather than planning (although we do quite a bit of that), despite being delayed in La Rochelle, then La Coruna and then again in Lisbon, we think we've played it well, having been able to enjoy Lisbon for some time before any bad weather came through. It should be noticeably milder and drier here than it would have been in Lisbon but it won't be sunshine all winter. We've had two SW blows come through already, and the last few days have been wet & windy. Still, a good excuse for getting the slow cooker going for a warming casserole. Andy is still in shorts & t-shirts though, and the forecast is much better again for the next week.
On the Wednesday before last we joined the Lagos Strollers for their weekly walk - this one from Lagos to Burgau, westward along the coast. Don't interpret the 'Strollers' name literally, they pace it out some, which is great and how we've always walked, although the occasional stop to take in the view and take a photo meant we lagged behind occasionally! The wind was blowing onshore thankfully, as it was up to F7 at times and gusting higher. At one point, I had to hang onto Andy to stop being blown off my feet! The views were fantastic - the coast here is reminiscent of that of East Devon, the Jurassic coast of Dorset and parts of Victoria in Australia near the 12 Apostles. The Strollers are a really nice bunch of people, some of whom are yachties from the Lagos Navigators, others are Brits who have holiday homes here or live here permanently. Chip's careful planning of the walk worked brilliantly until thwarted by the Portuguese factor when we arrived in Burgau in plenty of time for the bus back to Lagos. The timetable at the bus stop was different from the one Chip had checked online and elsewhere. After some waiting and hoping a bus would arrive, a few intrepid souls set off walking back to Lagos on the road and one of the other chaps popped back to the bar where the owner phoned a 7-seater taxi for us - €3 per head, bargain! The vagaries of Portuguese public transport notwithstanding, we're looking forward to more of these walks, although last Wednesday's was cancelled due to the strong winds and heavy rain.
The less favourable weather has fortunately coincided with some work for Andy. Whilst he's working, I've been writing this update, plus the update for the Nosh, Nibbles & Nightcaps page and putting together some words for an end of season review and thoughts on Spain and Portugal. We'll finish and upload those soon.
We've made great use of the Cobb here recently before the wet and windy weather arrived. As it gets dark so much earlier now that we're about eight hundred miles south of Falmouth and the sun sets much more quickly, in addition to the clocks having gone back, we've had our Cobb meals at lunchtime, making this our main meal of the day with just a light supper in the evening. We had a fantastic meal of griddled fresh tuna and asparagus one day and a roast pork joint with amazing crackling the next, complete with roast potatoes and sweet potatoes plus broccoli and carrots - the tuna (locally caught we think) fresh from the fabulous fish market that morning and all the veg fresh from the farmers' market on Saturday.
The produce markets here, as we mentioned in our first update from Lagos, are really fabulous. The farmers' market on a Saturday has fruit and veg that is all locally grown, and is un-refrigerated so keeps well in the 'pantry', unlike refrigerated veg bought from supermarkets, which we have to keep in the fridge, which then obviously reduces available space for Ann's beer and wine... There are some unfamiliar things to try, like the beautifully colourful Borlotti beans (red and white speckled beans - bought some last Saturday, but haven't tried them yet), the purple carrots (seriously - we hadn't eaten any funny mushrooms!) and the long carrot-shaped radishes (slightly sweeter than normal round radishes and deliciously crunchy). It's not surprising that many of the stalls are overflowing with oranges, tangerines, lemons, limes and pomegranates, as we've seen these falling un-harvested from trees in gardens in the area. There are also loads of fig trees, and although I think it's toward the end of their season, I hope I can still get some to try some fig and honey concoctions as many stalls at the farmers' market sell their own honey too!
The municipal market is simply stunning and it's no wonder that there are often tourists taking photos - including us, although the early photos below don't do it full justice. The ground floor is almost all fish and seafood stalls, with a few butchers at the back. There are some weird and wonderful fish we've never seen before, including the amazing looking scabbard fish, which you can probably just about make out in the photo below - they're the really long (about a metre!) silver ones. Having done some internet research, these scabbard fish sound really tasty, but although I saw the fishmonger chopping one into smaller pieces for a customer, I don't think we could eat a whole one, even over two days! The first floor of the municipal market is fruit and veg stalls, so we can get really fresh veg anytime if we've run out of anything from our Saturday shop at the farmers' market.

KECK'S EXCLUSIVE: MARG HELGENBERGER PREPARES TO LEAVE CSI
July 26, 2010 /in Interviews - Print & Video /by Suzanne
From TV Guide Magazine:
Enjoy Catherine Willows while you can, because soon it will be time to say goodbye to CSI's hottest investigator, as well as to Marg Helgenberger, who has played the role since 2000. In this exclusive interview, one of TV's highest-paid stars reveals why she's signed on for the 11th season and how she'd like to see Catherine exit.
TV Guide Magazine: Not long ago, you told me that 10 seasons would be enough. Why the change of heart?
Helgenberger: Well, there's been a few changes in my personal life. [Helgenberger split last year from her husband, actor Alan Rosenberg]. My ex-husband and I are on very, very good terms, but the way the money was divided certainly had something to do with me deciding to come back for another season.
TV Guide Magazine: Really? I think most people would assume you'd never have to work another day in your life.
Helgenberger: Yes, it's been a very lucrative job for me, so this wasn't something I financially had to do. It was something I wanted to do to build up my savings a bit more.
TV Guide Magazine: With a pay raise, you were in line to top Law & Order: SVU's Mariska Hargitay as TV's highest-paid actress, right?
Helgenberger: I did not get a pay raise this year. I asked to do less episodes, so I am doing only 19. CBS was also using the poor economy as a way to pull in the reins, so honestly all of us took pay cuts this year. Because I'm doing [fewer episodes], I won't be making as much. Plus, I negotiated to do a few episodes in which I'm only working three days, so the salary was adjusted. Apart from the money, I wasn't quite ready to let go of the character and the people I work with.
TV Guide Magazine: You aren't experiencing William Petersen envy just yet?
Helgenberger: I definitely feel that envy when it's a late night on set and I'm exhausted. I saw Billy in a play last summer, and he apparently is coming to the set soon [in his role] as a producer on the show. We have a great fondness for each other, and I, too, would love to switch it up and do other characters in plays, television and films. That is my plan after this season.
TV Guide Magazine: I'm assuming the show wanted you for longer than one more season?
Helgenberger: They did, but it was on terms I didn't find agreeable. I wanted to do 13 [episodes] and be finished by Christmas, but they wouldn't go for it. I'm thinking of this as my last 19 episodes.
TV Guide Magazine: Have you spoken to the writers about what you'd like to see for Catherine?
Helgenberger: I certainly would not want to die and have my body autopsied. Nor would the fans. We're going to get into what's left of the casino Catherine inherited from her father, some of it told in flashback. This could possibly lead to Catherine's exit. It's very interesting to me to think that a woman my age [51] could have a big career change and develop a whole other set of skills. That's how I'd like to see it — she's still in Las Vegas in a whole other world and close to the action if she needs to be.
TV Guide Magazine: Speaking of action, how's your love life?
Helgenberger: I have a new boyfriend who's not in the business. Life imitates art because Catherine has her boyfriend as well [Detective Vartann, played by Alex Carter]. And I just heard that we are going to have a love scene together — in bed. I haven't done that since George Clooney in ER. I'm going to have to worry if my legs are shaved!

I have translated it from Italian to English to the best of my ability but apologize in advance for any mistakes as my translation skills are limited. If anyone can provide a more accurate translation from the source article at movieplayer.it, I would greatly appreciate it.
By Angela Cinicolo
The sexy crime-solving lady from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation travels from Los Angeles to Rome to meet the press, confirm her presence in the eleventh season of the CBS series and to discuss highlights from her career involving the actor George Clooney and director Quentin Tarantino.
Following the arrival of Stana Katic at the Roma Fiction Fest, we see another long-awaited woman who works in crime: Marg Helgenberger, a female face that television viewers should recognize after 10 seasons! The actress has revealed to us the rumors about whether or not she will be returning to CSI for Season 11 can be put to rest: agent Catherine Willows will be around for at least another year. Ms. Helgenberger, whose character is the protagonist of the series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, one of the most successful television shows in recent years with a ten year longevity and two spin-offs, is of German origin. In her small screen role as the hardworking forensic scientist, she has in the past earned two Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe nominations, and she has carved out an increasing spaces in the series, gradually taking the place of the actor William Petersen (currently involved in the production of the show) and in the hearts of loyal viewers. Kind and cheerful, she told us her contribution to the series and in particular the construction of her character which is a collaborative effort with the writers. We could not tear rumors about the new season, which we anticipated. There will be several well known special guest stars who are loved by the general public. We then retraced the actress' career going back to her first experience in show business as a weather announce, a memory that she remembered fondly.
The CSI star then talked about her onscreen relationship with George Clooney on the set of ER, which she participated in during the second season in the role of Karen Hines, one of Dr. Ross' many girlfriends. She also recalled her experience working with some famous film directors who directed several memorable episodes of CSI, including Quentin Tarantino (who directed the final episode of Season Five, Grave Danger). Tarantino, who was the director of Inglorious Basterds, repeatedly expressed that he was a passionate fan of the series, and there was a strong and mutual respect when he directed the episode. Finally, we learned that waiting for her in the future, there is a project born of a film script that has been designed especially for her.

BuildingIQ Partners with Cypress Envirosystems to Enable Digital Twinning of Older Buildings for Reduced Energy Consumption and AI-driven Efficiency
Older buildings can save an average of 30 percent in electrical energy usage
SAN MATEO, Calif. – April 23, 2018 – BuildingIQ (ASX: BIQ) today announces that it has partnered with Cypress Envirosystems, a company that provides electro-pneumatic thermostat solutions to retrofit existing commercial buildings and industrial facilities, to improve productivity and save energy. As a value-added reseller of Cypress Envirosystems, BuildingIQ is combining its market leading predictive optimization with Cypress Envirosystems' advanced thermostats. The two organizations will work to equip older buildings with AI-driven solutions to provide greater system insight and control, leading to improvements in tenant comfort and energy efficiency. On average, this collaboration will enable older buildings to reduce electrical energy usage by 30 percent, ultimately increasing the market value of these structures.
"There is a common misconception that some buildings will never be able to capitalize on solutions that are enhanced by the IoT and big data – Digital Twins," said Harry Sim, CEO of Cypress Envirosystems. "Teaming up with BuildingIQ, we hope to eliminate this belief and bring the energy optimization mindset to facility managers in older buildings to share how visualization and data analytics can result in real savings."
The partnership between BuildingIQ and Cypress Envirosystems expands the market for closed loop Predictive Energy Optimization™ (PEO) to older building stock that are currently using pneumatic thermostats. BuildingIQ's PEO reduces consumption at the whole building level by as much as 10 percent, while improving comfort and eliminating operational waste.
Typically, the journey to get to predictive optimization begins with visualization, includes some retro-commissioning, continues on with both advanced fault detection and AI-based diagnostics, and culminates in long term predictive, closed loop control – PEO. However, until the partnership with Cypress Envirosystems, the journey was difficult to undertake for buildings with pneumatic thermostat controls. In combining the BuildingIQ and Cypress Envirosystems solutions, building owners and operators will benefit from 24/7 energy management with ongoing anomaly detection, data analysis and diagnosis. Cloud-based machine learning means that the solution learns and adapts to a building over time and automatically adjusts temperature and pressure set points in specific zones. Furthermore, tenants will realize improved comfort thanks to the feedback from the digital thermostats.
"By working with Cypress Envirosystems, we are extending the benefits of our 5i platform to a significant, and unserved, segment of the existing commercial building market," said Michael Nark, CEO of BuildingIQ. "Now these buildings can enter the age of Digital Twins – able to leverage cutting-edge, close loop predictive control with integrated IoT capabilities."
BuildingIQ and Cypress Envirosystems will be hosting a webinar, "Qualify for Utility Incentives Through Digital Twinning," on April 24 at 2 p.m. EDT.
BuildingIQ (BIQ.AX) provides technology-enabled services to help building owners and operators worldwide save energy, increase operational efficiency, and improve tenant comfort. Through its 5i cloud-based platform, BuildingIQ delivers on the promise of the Internet of Things (IoT) to help visualize, analyze, control, and optimize energy usage within a single facility, campus or portfolio of buildings. More than 100M square feet of global building space is currently being serviced by BuildingIQ to reduce operating costs. www.buildingiq.com

Can Technology Make the Civil Court System More Accessible?
The number of people involved in a civil court case without a lawyer has increased ninefold in 25 years. Pew Charitable Trusts wants to fix that problem with the help of technology.
by Zack Quaintance / November 21, 2018
Pew Charitable Trust wants to make the non-criminal legal system easier to navigate without lawyers, and technology is a key component to their plans.
Modernizing civil courts at the state and local level has become increasingly important in a world where residents can handle their business online whether it's to order takeout or pay property taxes. Yet the courts remain a relatively offline system that in large part demand physical attendance for sometimes procedural tasks.
Even more troubling is that an increasing number of people are navigating civil court cases, such as small claims or family issues, without a lawyer, according to Erika Rickard, who was formerly with Harvard's Access to Justice Lab and is now a senior officer in the Civil Legal System Modernization at Pew.
Ottawa County, Mich., Tests a Court Robot GreeterNashville Experiments with Court Date Text AlertsButler County, Ohio, Moves Court Records Online
Unlike in criminal court, people involved in civil court — whether it's for debt collection, landlord disputes, custody cases or other legal issues — don't have a right to a lawyer to represent them. If they can't afford a lawyer, they must still attend and represent themselves. Pew's research has found that as recently as 1992, as few as 5 percent of people in general civil court cases did not have a lawyer. Today, however, that number has risen ninefold, and 45 percent of cases in general jurisdictions have at least one side without a lawyer. When small claims and other cases are included, that number rises to 75 percent.
"In three out of four cases today, at least one side doesn't have a lawyer," Rickard said. "That's more than 30 million people every year who are navigating state and local court systems without a lawyer. The key here is that a typical court user has really changed, has changed dramatically, but courts have not really changed along with that new reality."
The new reality involves a sizable increase in low cost cases, at least from the court's perspective. Cases for debt collection of less than $5,200 take place much more frequently than they did decades ago. These are cases that from the court's perspective may seem less consequential, but they often have the potential to have cascading consequences throughout people's lives, said Rickard.
Helping courts to change and ensure easier navigation of their systems is essentially what Pew is now working to do, and they hope to accomplish that with changes in three specific areas: by building new research, by building new relationships and by developing and evaluating promising new technologies.
Pew is already working to introduce two specific technologies to court systems across the country. The first effort will create online legal information and assistance portals. The second involves court-based online dispute resolutions. Both stand to make life easier for people who can't afford lawyers.
"The tools we're talking about don't necessarily change whether lawyers are going to be part of the system," Rickard said. "Of course lawyers are always going to be a part of the system, but what these tools do is they enable the courts to become more efficient and adapt a little more effectively to who's using the system, whether they have a lawyer or not."
A Web-based portal, for example, would let users simply log in and write in their own words a legal problem they might have, subsequently pointing them to useful information that's relevant to their situations. This might even include being connected with a lawyer, as well as to self-help materials. The overarching goal is helping individuals to better understand their legal problems and to address them more efficiently.
Work is underway at the local level to connect vendors with court systems that can help them set up the technological modernizations that Pew is working to put into place. Online dispute resolution has long been used in e-commerce within the private sector, and some of the companies that developed those solutions are now starting to work on doing the same within the public sector.
"The goal, more broadly," Rickard said, "is to give people tools in their hands to be able to navigate on their smartphones or on their desktops an entire court process online from start to finish without having to ever come into a courthouse."

SERVING THE GAME
Creator of Tee It Forward Weighs In September 7, 2011 By Barney Adams
Barney Adams, the founder of Adams Golf, provided the concept that led to Tee It Forward.
The recently conducted national golf initiative known as Tee It Forward has attracted interest, enthusiasm, and more than a few comments from golfers nationwide. Barney Adams, the founder of Adams Golf, provided the concept that led to Tee It Forward and has been tracking comments posted by golfers on the Internet about the initiative.
Here, Adams provides candid responses to some of the more interesting and direct comments made about Tee It Forward:
Comment: "You are trying to make the game easy, and golf isn't supposed to be easy."
Adams: This is not about easy - it's about enjoyment. Tee it Forward gives you a chance to play the game, to hit shots into the green that you'll still mis-hit. And those fairway bunkers you could never hit? Guess what? You'll have to be a little more careful now!"
Comment: "I am a 13 handicap. I play at 6,700 yards and can hit every green. I don't need to move up and I resent the implication."
Adams: "I'm an 11 handicap and I can hit the greens from 6,700 as well. That's not the point. I try to hit these greens with a hybrid or in some cases a fairway wood. Plus, I'm not hitting high soft shots into the green. I'm trying to hit bullets and fit the ball between greenside hazards. I want to be in a position where I can play golf, play shots. This is a triumph of golf pleasure over ego."
Comment: "I pay $100 for a round of golf and I want to see the whole course."
Barney Adams: "Thanks for playing! As long as you can keep up the pace and enjoy the game, play from the tips. This initiative is about adding speed and enjoyment by playing from the distance that's right for the individual golfer."
Comment: "I don't care what you say - I'm not moving up to the white (or red or whatever) tees."
Adams: "I agree! This isn't about the white or pink or chartreuse tees. It's about setting up a playable course that's right for you. Many things are involved, such as prevailing winds, fairway slopes, green sizes and more. Flexibility is the key. For example, you could ruin a 145-yard par 3 or a 360-yard par 4 by moving up. So don't!"
Comment: "It's you clubmakers who did this with all your new drivers. With advanced technology we're hitting the ball 30 yards farther than we used to."
Adams: "One of my playing companions made the same comment recently. All I could think of is that he must have been really frustrated in the past, because with those extra 30 yards he still only hits it about 220 now."
Comment: "Mr. Adams, you are a male sexist trying to impose a 4,600-yard course on women golfers. It is insulting."
Adams: "For women, a 4,600-yard course puts their average tee shots where they have an opportunity to enjoy the game more. If that's sexist, then I plead guilty."
Comment: "You obviously don't play for money. Harry hits it 30 yards past me and you want to move him up. Why don't I just give him the money?"
Adams: Actually I do make the occasional wager and play with more than one Harry who hits it 30 yards past me. The fact is he's going to be 30 yards longer from whatever tees we play. From the back tees when he hits a 5- or a 7-iron into the green and I'm hitting a 3 or a 4, he has a big advantage. But move up and he's now hitting a 9-iron or even a wedge, but I'm hitting a 7-iron or even an 8-iron. Now I like my chances better.
Furthermore on some of those holes I get a stroke. Now I really like my chances better. Remember that on tour when the longest hitters play with the shorter guys they still play the same tees. The shorter guys are still in a position to play the game and that's the principle here.

A question I'm often asked is whether there's an easy way to write a blog post. Of course, the easiest and quickest posts to write, are the ones where you share a news article and write a few sentences of commentary about it. But when it comes to writing a 'proper' post, this is my seven step process: I hope it gives you something to follow that makes it simpler and easier for you too.
Step One: I start the process off using paper and pen. For me there's something in the process of physically writing down my thoughts on paper that helps my brain work out what I'm trying to say. It makes the whole thing a lot easier. It also means that if I change something, I can see how it's developed, and access my earlier thoughts more easily than I could if I was deleting my words on screen.
Step Two: start with your blog post idea in the middle of a bit of paper and surround the idea with the main points you want to make, in the style of a mind map. When I wrote a blog post about the five things you need if you want to get blogging and keep blogging, I started it off with a title in the middle of a bit of paper, and then drew seven lines out from the idea: one for each of the five things, and one each for the introduction and conclusion.
Step Three: write what you want to say about each of those key points. Write what you would say to someone if they were sitting with you and you were telling them about that point. You can make these bullet points, or write whole sentences, whatever works for you. For the five things blog post, I wrote whole sentences around each of the main points, which isn't uncommon for me.
Step Four: now you have the bones of your blog post, decide the order in which you want the points to flow. Sometimes the order you've got them in will work, other times it'll make more sense to change the order.
Step Five: type out your blog post. If your planning is in bullet points, flesh them out with a sentence or two, or whatever feels appropriate, but sticking to the point. If you've written sentences around the key points, type those out, editing as you go if appropriate. With the five things blog post, all I really had to do was type out what I'd written on my planning sheet, and then add a better introduction and conclusion.
Step Six: read your blog post through to see what connecting sentences are needed, and make any edits, to make it flow. Reading it out loud will help you to make sure that it sounds like you. Editing can include changing the wording so that it reads better, breaking up paragraphs, adding sentences to aid flow, changing the order of the key points. For my five things blog post, I shortened the initial introduction so that I got to the point a lot quicker; and I added a personal story to the conclusion, to illustrate why these five cornerstones of blogging are so important.

After a long search about a year we have finally desided to solve our annoying basement leaking problem . When ever it would rain we would have small floods in multiple locations in the basement . Drain home provided us with a best quality/price ratio we could find . To our surprice this small company had all the tools to get the job done even compared to the big guys (drain works , rooter something) excavator , jumping jack and the job was done in less then 2 weeks mind you this is 90 feet of outside digging .Overall Andre and his guys left a great impression on us . We would reccomend this company to our friends .


London based LGBTQ anti cuts group, Queers Against The Cuts (QUAC) has panned the Prime minister speech given at the Downing Street reception for the LGBT community last Wednesday.
According to QUAC not only do LGBTQ people work disproportionately in the public and voluntary sectors that are being cut, but as a community LGBTQ people are more dependent on public services: "Most of us don't have kids to help out when we are older, and still our youth are more likely to be abandoned by their families." Richard Farnos explained.
"Free School" will be new schools set up by parents, churches or charities that will receive state funding while not have to follow the national curriculum, and with few restrictions on what the schools can or cannot teach.
Already Toby Young one of the leading advocates of "free schools" has dismissed the whole idea of LGBT History month saying "The very idea that a group of 12-year-old schoolchildren would be dragooned into 'creating banners and other materials' to promote LGBT week is preposterous".
Queers Against the Cuts (QUAC) was formed in January 2011 and is a diverse group of LGBTQ people who have come together to oppose the savage cuts to public services, job losses and the welfare state being pushed by the ConDem coalition government.
• To campaign and defend all jobs, services and benefit rights and oppose privatisation.
• To highlight the disproportionate and adverse impact of the huge reduction of public spending has on LGBTQ communities.
• To mobilise the LGBTQ communities against the cuts.
• To work in partnership and build alliances with others fighting the cuts.

From the February 2006 Issue Subscribe
There's a seeping, winterlike melancholy to the slender songs of It's a Game (Drag City), the first album in four years from San Antonio native Edith Frost. Her music betrays a quiet sadness devoid of self-pity but full of heartache; she has hinted that upheaval in her personal life led to the long layoff. Frost, who has made her home in Chicago for years, sings with a pretty whisper of a voice, and a spare and spooky accompaniment perfectly complements the haunting melodies. Piano keys clatter as if dropped from above; guitars are amplified but muted. It's all an organic affair, intimate, straightforward, and almost impossibly delicate. Only later do you realize how much her songs, and the mood they create, are impossible to shake.

Lead Based Paint Removal Berkeley CA | A lead-based paint abatement and removal contractor in California.
Lead paint removal is one of the most important projects you can have performed on your Berkeley building if it was built prior to 1978. According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) lead poisoning is caused by deteriorating lead-based paint, lead contaminated dust and lead contaminated soil.
RB Construction provides expert lead-based paint removal services which makes your building safe and will increase the value of your building due to the removal of the lead-based paint.
Many older buildings built before 1978, could contain lead-based paint and cause health risks. As many buildings containing lead-based paint are being renovated, so in 2008, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) issued a new rule under the Toxic Substances Control Act regarding "lead-based paint hazards created by renovation, repair, and painting activities that disturb lead-based paint in target housing and child-occupied facilities." This rule which became effective in April 2010, directly affects contractors requiring them to be certified if they are performing work on a targeted facility and to provide proper warnings to let them know the hazards of the lead-based paint.
Call RB Construction at (510) 683-8780, if your building was built prior to 1978 so we can begin the process of making your building safe by removing the lead-based paint from it.
The areas we services for lead-based paint removal services include the California cities of Berkeley, Cupertino, Fremont, Mountain View, Oakland, Palo Alto, Redwood City, San Francisco, San Jose, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Sunnyvale.


CONROE, Texas – Falcon Steel America, a manufacturer of high-voltage transmission tower and other steel structures, acquired a 226,000-SF manufacturing facility in Conroe, north of Houston.
The addition of the new plant, located on 25 acres at 3575 Pollok Drive, will more than double the Fort Worth-based company's manufacturing capacity.
Falcon Steel America, which is remodeling the plant, expects to hire 150 skilled and unskilled workers, including quality assurance and quality control inspectors, welders, fitters, machine operators and truck drivers in the near term.


Even though it hasn't been all that cold lately (60 F today!), I've had a HUGE craving for soups. More specifically, my mom's soups. Every time I go home to visit my folks, I always request tomato soup and then I load up on it during the whole time I'm there.
And this week it dawned on me that, 1) these soups are not that hard to make, and 2) I am quite capable of cooking soup.
After I was done baking beets, slicing beets, and cooking beets, the kitchen looked like someone had been murdered in it. Actually, it kind of resembled the scene from the last time I used the mandolin slicer, but with much more pleasant results this time around.
4. Stir in sour cream.
5. Serve with potatoes cooked separately, or drink on its own.
Not too shabby for a very filling bowl of soup.
*Having the same ingredients as my mom is key. For example, different brands of tomato paste cause the tomato soup to vary greatly in taste, to the point where my dad and I can figure out when something is amiss. This is the reason why my mom mails me cans of tomato paste. No joke.


"How high is the sky?." Earth, Planet Earth, Q-files Encyclopedia, 8 Jul. 2016.

The night sky in Chile, as seen behind the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile. The Andromeda Galaxy is the streak of light just to the left of the observatory building.
The sky is the name we give for what we can see above the horizon—an expanse of blue during the day, black at night. The sky includes the atmosphere, the blanket of air that envelopes the Earth, as well as space that lies beyond. The highest clouds are no higher than 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) above ground, so that altitude could be considered the "height of the sky". Others might argue it is the boundary between the atmosphere and space, which scientists give as 100 kilometres (62 miles) above ground. But the upper limit of the atmosphere, beyond which there is no air at all, actually lies at least 10,000 kilometres (6000 miles) above ground—making this a third possible definition of the height of the sky. Yet another answer is the distance of the stars we can see in the night sky. In fact, the most distant object visible is a galaxy containing billions of stars: the Andromeda Galaxy. It lies 2.5 million light years or 22.5 quadrillion (15 zeros) kilometres away.

Anyone who has seen the tax bill on their home rise ten times what it was when they bought it, realizes the unfairness of raising taxes as property values rise.
from property values as a sole means of income can be risky to municipalities as well as unfair to homeowners.
its tax base to superstorm Sandy.
The numbers the county released Wednesday, with 21 towns reporting, show a 0.8 percent loss from the Feb. 6 data released by the Ocean County Board of Taxation.
The total amount of taxable real estate in Ocean County is about $100 billion.
To date, 21 of the county's 33 towns have reported preliminary real estate losses that total $882,752,100.
Mantoloking alone, a 0.44-square mile borough with a permanent population of about 300, has reported property losses of $440,834,362. The town, previously one of the wealthiest municipalities in the state , was all but obliterated when the Oct. 29 storm punched an inlet between the Atlantic Ocean and Barnegat Bay through the heart of the community. Catastrophic damage was sustained by 511 properties in the borough, according to the preliminary estimate.
Some of the hardest hit towns have yet to submit figures to the county for their property losses, including Toms River, Bay Head, Lavallette, Beach Haven and Ocean Gate.
The impact will be felt by mainland taxpayers who will see a shift of the tax burden as it moves away from the oceanfront.
These latest statistics should be a warning that relying on property values to fund education is not only unfair but unreliable. As property values rise, older people who have no desire to leave their homes are required to pay a higher tax on a profit that they have no tangible financial gain from.
Even those that rent an apartment are indirectly paying property taxes in the form of higher rents.
There are many other, more equitable ways, that we can fund education. We just need people in our government to take the time to care about all taxpayers and not just the elite few whose property taxes are a pittance to them, yet are a burden to the entire upper and lower middle class.
The shore properties will be getting a reduction in their property values as much as 50%. That will make all of the other Ocean County taxpayers will be picking up the shortfall it the County tax revenue.
And how pray tell do you propose to fund schools and government services?

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has denied reports and claims circulating in the media that he and Bisi Akande the chairman APC Board of Trustees paid a courtesy visit to President Buhari in London.
Jagaban Bola Ahmed Tinubu the APC leader has refuted reports and claims circulating in the media that he and Bisi Akande the chairman APC Board of Trustees paid a courtesy visit to Buhari in London. Tinubu stated this at his Bourdillon residence Ikoyi yesterday.
He said he was surprised and aghast to see his pictures alongside of Bisis Akande and Buhari. he stated that he was at ibadan on the said day to attend to some personal matters and came back to Lagos the following day only to be surprised with the news all over the media.
"I did not travel to London or anywhere outside the country" quoted Tinubu.
What surprised me most was the pictures published and spreading all over the social media showing myself and Akande with buhari in London. I didnt travel out of the country so the question is where did these pictures emanate from?
There is no how truth can be concealed for long. The presidential aides are not living up to their expectations in handling information relating to the president's health Tinubu said. I see nothing wrong in someone falling sick afterall we are all humans and not machines, even machines do breakdown Tinubu told our source.
The presidential aides have left room for rumours and grapevines to thrive regarding the president vacation with conflicting statements and pronouncements.
Recently some state governors called for prayers for the president. Also the wife of the president Mrs Aisha Buhari thank all Nigerians for their support and goodwill as reported by Thisday.
You will recalled that pictures of Tinubu and Akande visiting Buhari in London was all over the social media. this was to prove to Nigerians that president Buhari is hail and hearty. But Lagos Herald had earlier published the truth about the president health and situation report which none of the presidential aides has come out to deny.

De Grimshaw is een thema dat voorkomt in schaakproblemen. Volgens de officiële definitie spreekt men van een Grimshaw als er wederkerige interferentie is tussen een toren en een loper van dezelfde kleur op hetzelfde veld. In de praktijk betekent dat dat als de toren naar het interferentieveld gaat, de loper geblokkeerd wordt, en dat als de loper naar het interferentieveld gaat, de toren geblokkeerd wordt.

Een voorbeeld:

Dr. M. Niemeijer en J. Hartong, 1922.

Opgave: wit aan zet geeft mat in twee zetten.

Oplossing: 1. Da8, dreigt 2. Df3#.

Andere denkbare matzetten:
2. De8 faalt door 2. ... Lf7
2. e3 en 2. e4 falen door 2. ... Td1:
2. Dh8 faalt door 2. ... Lh8:

Mogelijke tegenzetten:
1. ... Td5 verhindert 2. Df3#, maar ook 2. ... Lf7, dus volgt 2. De8#.
1. ... Ld5 verhindert 2. Df3#, maar ook 2. ... Td1:, dus volgt 2. e4#.
1. ... Tb7 verhindert 2. Df3#, maar ook 2. ... Td1:, dus volgt 2. e4# of 2. e3#.
1. ... Ld4†. Nu staat wit schaak, maar nu is 2. e3# mogelijk.
1. ... Td4 pareert de dreiging, omdat dan na 2. Df3 Tg4 kan worden gespeeld. Nu is echter 2. ... Lh8: onmogelijk, dus volgt 2. Dh8#.
1. ... Td3 pareert de dreiging, omdat dan na 2. Df3 de dame wordt geslagen. Nu volgt 2. ... ed3:#.

Dit is dus een dubbele Grimshaw op d4 en d5.

Cracking Open the Nintendo DSi
The Nintendo DSI is the latest hand-held game console. The DSi is a marvel of engineering and features a built-in camera.
The DSi emphasizes interactivity and offers game modes that involve the manipulation of images and sounds. Of course, you can play games and you can play those games with friends wirelessly.
With the help of iFixit, TechRepublic presents this Cracking Open Photo Gallery of the DSi.
The original iFixit Teardown Gallery can be found here.

An invitation from Mario's hat to join Club Nintendo.
The manual is larger in every dimension than the DSi except for thickness. Many of the pages are in color... That's probably why the DSi costs so much more than its forebear.
A side by side comparison of the Nintendo DS Lite (left) and the Nintendo DSi (right).
The DSi has a new skin: a matte-black (almost dark gray) color that feels much rougher than the DS Lite. The roughness allows for better grip of the system, as well as improved scratch resistance.
The DSi is 3 mm thinner than the DS Lite, while its length and width increase by 4 mm and 1 mm, respectively.
The DSi comes with 3.25" LCD panels, a full 0.25" larger than the previous model's 3" panels.
Two Phillips screws prevent access to the battery. They are easily dealt with using our custom-made screwdriver.
A quick flick of the spudger (or fingernail) dislocates the battery from its housing.
There are a total of seven screws that hold the lower case of the DSi together:
Three are immediately visible without removing any plug or cover.
Two plugs near the top of the unit have to be removed to reveal two screws.
Removal of the battery compartment reveals two additional screws that need to be removed.
And just like that, the case comes open.
An orange connector joins the cases together. Care should be taken when opening the DSi to ensure this connector is not damaged in the process.
A comparison between the old and the new. There are definite differences between the DS Lite (left) and DSi (right).
The DSi uses a smaller 840mAh rechargeable battery (right) compared to 1000mAh for the DS Lite (left). The difference in size is proportionate to the difference in capacity. The original Nintendo DS shipped with an 850mAh battery.
Removing the battery PCB is a pretty straightforward procedure:
Disconnect three connectors.
Unscrew five Phillips screws.
The Wi-Fi board is held in place via one large connector. A quick wedge-and-twist action of the spudger releases it from the main board.
Another flick of the spudger removes the Wi-Fi board's connector wire.
The main board comes off almost as easily as the battery PCB:
Four Phillips screws need to be removed.
Six connectors need to be disconnected prior to removal: five on the visible side, and one on the other side.
We are done with the first level of the disassembly.
Four black plastic covers need to be removed to reveal the Phillips screws underneath.
Removing the four Phillips screws allows access to the top display.
The antenna board for Wireless LAN is mounted in the upper right corner of the chasis.
The ribbon cables for the top display and cameras are coiled and routed through the hinge between case halves. We'll go ahead and add that to the list of parts we want to watch a robot assemble.
The thin orange wire seen in the second photo is for the microphone. Little DJs everywhere will drool over a new feature allowing users to distort the pitch and speed of music during playback.
The DSi has two VGA CMOS digital cameras (0.3 megapixels); one on the internal hinge pointed towards the user and the other in the outer shell.
Eight Phillips screws secure the battery compartment and the stylus tray/SD/SDHC expansion slot to the case.
The DSi has an integrated SD/SDHC expansion slot. You can now use a normal SD card for the playback of AAC audio files and external storage of pictures or downloaded software. Can anyone say homebrew apps?
Lots of chips in a small area.
The other side of the logic board.
Chips of interest, left to right:
Samsung 1st generation MoviNAND KMAPF0000M: 256 MB NAND Flash and MMC controller. The integrated MMC controller allows the CPU to offload the complex work of directly talking to the flash memory.

The role of older women in contesting norms associated with female genital mutilation/cutting in Senegambia: A factorial focus group analysis
Bettina Shell-Duncan, Amadou Moreau, Katherine Wander, Sarah Smith
PLoS ONE 13(7): e0199217
Social norms theory has become prominent framework for understanding the perpetuation of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C), and has influenced the design of interventions aimed at stopping the practice. Theoretical advances draw attention to the fact that FGM/C is often upheld by multiple interconnected norms that may vary and shift over time, offering a potential resource for social transformation. Analyzing focus group data from Senegambian women, the questions we explore are: What are the constellation of norms associated with FGM/C? When are existing practices and norms being contested, and how does this reflect prevailing structures of power and authority? Our research identifies four overarching themes: 1) pressure to conform with FGM/C arising from sanctions such as ostracization, and moral norms linked to the embodiment of virtue; 2) upholding tradition as a means of venerating ancestors; 3) upholding social hierarchy by displaying respect for elders; and 4) shifting beliefs about the healthful vs. harmful nature of FGM/C. While strong value is placed on upholding tradition, there is also an appreciation that elements of tradition must be revised to meet fluctuating realities, including the novel threat of HIV infection. Moreover, older women are uniquely positioned to realize the dual goal of honoring tradition while negotiating change. Rather than resisting change, we find that some older women express an openness to reassessing norms and practices as they seek solutions to maintaining the physical well-being, moral integrity and cultural identity of girls in their families. Moreover, given the authority of older women over younger women, they also have power to negotiate change. By recognizing older women as potential change leaders, and drawing on variability and fluidity in social norms, it may be increasingly possible to design interventions that will shape possibilities for action and accelerate abandonment of FGM/C without undermining the cultural value of tradition.
