Using meridian points and lines and Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis, the practitioner applies a therapeutic and enjoyable series of movements to nourish the body and energy system of the client.
Sensitive application of the Thai massage component can result in both a strong workout (like yoga) while enabling subtle myofascial release in the body fascia, which beyond releasing physical tension also helps calm and nurture the central nervous system. Many client find their body releasing naturally, sometimes letting-go life-long held tensions in the body-mind.

ZenThai Shiatsu Massage is often described as yoga without lifting a muscle. There is a great joy when we can let go and have a work-out "done" to us, for us, relaxing as we enjoy the rejuvenating benefits of "exercise".

Re: Animated • Justice League "The Enemy Below" – Part 2
Posted on November 21, 2012 by Steve Kenson
This blog takes a look at episodes from the Justice League animated series from a tabletop roleplaying game perspective, both in terms of game design and game play.
Obligatory Spoiler Warning: I will be discussing the events of the episode in the post. If, for some reason, you're interested in the show and this blog and have not seen the show, go and do that first. The blog will make much more sense, and you won't have your enjoyment of the show spoiled. You Have Been Warned.
"The Enemy Below" – Part 2
Going after the missing Aquaman and following up on evidence that someone in Atlantis is behind a plot to assassinate him, the League falls victim to Atlantean perimeter defenses and is captured. Atlantean synaptic headbands leave them largely powerless and in the clutches of Orm, who intends to execute them as he leads an attack on the surface world.
So, Aqauman is largely a joke in fan circles, thanks to versions like the Super-Friends, but Justice League offers us quit possibly the most badass Aquaman ever: Orm chains Aquaman to a rock and pins his infant son there by his swaddling blanket before blasting the rock and sending it sliding into a volcanic trench. Aquaman is able to break one of the chains by sheer effort, but cannot break free of the other. So he severs his own hand in order to save his son! (This, by the way, is far cooler than the comic book version, where Aquaman's hand gets eaten by piranha.)
The League and Aquaman have to confront the danger of the Atlantean "doomsday reactor" that is melting the polar ice and threatening to flood the world. The fight with the Atlanteans is pretty straightforward, something to keep the Leaguers busy while Batman, Green Lantern, and Aquaman tackle the reactor. Note that Aquaman makes a giant orca "area attack" against a group of Atlantean soldiers, taking them all out at once, and interesting use of his power over marine life.
The duel between Aquaman and Ocean Master (although he's never called that in the episodes) is interesting to choreograph: Orm attacks from surprise, initially stunning Aquaman. When he moves in for the kill, however, Aquaman kicks him, knocking him away (guess he wasn't so stunned after all). He blocks Orm's trident with his hook and punches him, knocking him down. Orm destroys the reactor's control mechanism, then shoots the surprised Aquaman; a maneuver to get Aquaman to drop his guard?
In the end, Batman (protected by Green Lantern's ring aura) is able to shut down the reactor while Aquaman leaves Orm dangling from a precipice and allows him to (apparently) fall to his death.
What does this episode teach us about superhero RPGs?
There Are Always Challenges: One of the great things about superhero settings is, there is always a way around characters with tremendous and varied powers. Taking four of the most powerful members of the Justice League captive, the Atlanteans still manage to hold them easily with the plot device of the synaptic headbands that short-circuit the heroes' concentration and abilities. (We'll see a similar trick in the upcoming Gorilla City episode.) If it hadn't been that, it might have been Atlantean sorcery or some drug derived from rare seaweed or whatnot. The point is there's always a new way to challenge the heroes (and therefore the players) and what the challenge is isn't so important as the fact that there is one.
The Heroes Don't Have to Do Everything: It's noteworthy that Mera saves the League from dying in Orm's watery execution chamber, in direct opposition to most of the Game Master advice you get never to have NPCs save the PCs or show them up in any way. Now, it's possible the "mechanics" behind the scenes included some means by which a player caused or narrated that rescue, perhaps using some game-system connection with Mera from a previous encounter. It's equally possible the scene represented the players trying to escape, but unable to succeed mechanically in overcoming the synaptic headbands (the efforts of Wonder Woman, J'onn, and Green Lantern could well be: rolls… unsuccessful total… "Can't focus…" etc.) so the GM brings in Mera as a last-ditch out so the heroes don't die (because we know they're not going to, after all). Or it could have been planned from the start that Mera would help them out. The point being that, in spite of all the GM advice, sometimes it suits the plot for a NPCs to provide a helping hand in getting the heroes out of trouble, and that's okay.
Success at a Price: The key moment in this episode is Aquaman's sacrifice to save his son. I could talk about various game mechanics, including extraordinary effort in M&M or the idea of acquiring and immediately tagging a new Challenge in Icons (probably in addition to tagging Aquaman's "Duty to Family and Kingdom" aspect) but, in my opinion, any mechanic beyond "with a sufficient sacrifice, success is ensured" is inadequate. We could look to quantify "sufficient sacrifice" but that's tricky business. In the Deryni Adventure Game, talking about "sword spells" I wrote:
…it's probably best to just fudge it and say the hero valiantly sacrifices his life in order to strike down his foe, accompanied by a suitably dramatic description … Such a valiant sacrifice shouldn't be dependent on a die roll for success; if the player is willing to sacrifice his or her character to the cause in the name of a good story, it's only fair to ensure the hero's dying effort is a success!
In the same vein, while Aquaman doesn't sacrifice his life, I think the principle is the same; don't let the dice ruin an awesome dramatic moment when it's easier to just say the hero's effort is successful. Call it a circumstantial "awesome modifier" large enough to make the die roll moot, if that makes you feel better about it.
It's also interesting to wonder how engineered Aquaman's situation is: did his player simply roll poorly on the escape attempt(s) and run out of ideas or did the GM create a situation where an extreme solution was the only one? If the latter, is that "unfair" in game terms? Should players be put in situations where their characters must sacrifice in order to succeed? I think that's largely a decision the player(s) and GM should make together, but is something to consider in any dramatic storytelling game.

4 New Exciting Activities !!
HIGH CASCADE PARK OPEN !!


79760 is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 18.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sherrie from Delta-Cassity Tank Lever in Bronze We recently built a new home and selected Delta-Cassidy bath and kitchen faucets, which we love. At first we thought getting the Tank Levers were an extravagant item, but once the builder installed them it really added the final touch of elegance to our bathrooms. We love them and would highly recommend them on a new build or a remodel. They truly added the finishing touch to our new home.
Rated 5 out of 5 by HeatherB from Matching fixtures So nice this was available so that it matches our bath fixtures. It is heavy and solid like the fixtures. We are happy with it.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Leslie Onsager from Thoughtful finishing touch This tank lever is great way to add a finishing touch to a project when used in coordination with the Delta Cassidy plumbing fixtures. Reasonably priced and works very well. Delta always delivered quality and great looks.
Rated 5 out of 5 by aheasley from Love the Cassidy collection! I purchased this toilet tank lever and handle to match the rest of our new fixtures. I love the simple but beautiful design of the Cassidy collection! Plus, Delta makes top-quality, lasting products. Very happy with our new master bath fixtures!
Rated 4 out of 5 by justin from Beautiful with a nice weight to it This lever felt like it was made of quality materials. The lever had a nice finish and the client wished they could have more but the only knock was that it didnt fit her other toilets. I suspect this will fit most toilets but not.
Rated 5 out of 5 by builderjoe from Eye for detail Remodeled master bathroom and this added a nice touch!!! Replaced the ugly plastic white lever that came with toilet!!! Everything matches real nice!!! Easy to install and works great!!! Very well made and priced!! If you have the eye for details than this is the product for you!!!!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by JeffreyD from Awesome Handle Great handle! I have two, one in brushed stainless and one in oil rubbed bronze. They look great and feel solid.
I ordered this and it's beautiful but I have a toilet with a side-mounted lever not front-facing. It says this is universal. Can it be altered to work on my toilet?
Does the 79760 work on a Gerber Avalanche tank #28-890?
According to Megan in toilet technical, it should fit on any side mount or front mount tanks.
Will Delta 79760 tank lever work with a Kohler Devonshire toilet?
CAN THE 79760 BE SIDE MOUNTED?
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # 79760 can only be front mounted.
I have an a toilet that is 24 years old. The hole that the lever goes through is an oval hole 1 inch by 3/4 inch.
Will the lever bolt fit through this size hole. Can I purchase the lever 79760-cz. will it fit. the specs show a nut at 1 and 1/8 inch but what size is the bolt that goes through the tank.
Is it possible to reverse direction of the lever?
Is it possible to reverse direction of the lever action? I have a Toto toilet that the handle mounts on the left side and would like to have the lever point forward instead of to the rear. The only way I see to do this is if you push the lever up to flush which does not seem normal. Is there a method to install with the lever forward and pushing down?
Will this tank lever work for a toilet that has the lever mounted on the front of the tank (top left corner when looking at the tank)?


If this paid better it could be the new blaps.
It gets progressively weirder and honestly I only completed it because it was so weird.
It doesn't pay well. Awful pay and it is so slow.

Q: Incorrect render order in google chrome with nested css transforms In Google Chrome when rotating certain ancestor elements in my application, some children 'disappear' by rendering behind the background of their immediate parent.
It seems to be related to whether the compositor decides to create a new layer. I have done some research on stacking contents, and compositor layers but have been unable to determine what is causing this issue.
Below is a minimal reproduction.

    Text that is visible

      Text that is hidden

The string "Text that is hidden" should actually appear but for some reason does not in Google Chrome. This does not seem to affect Edge or Firefox.
Disabling almost any of the styles in this example will fix the problem but I am trying to get to the bottom of the root cause.
Curiously at certain rotations the issue disappears e.g. rotate(5deg)

A: It is not clear to me why this works, but adding isolation: isolate to the middle div resolves this. If anyone can explain why this works I will accept your answer instead.

Dick Fosbury
Dick Fosbury Autograph
Richard Douglas Fosbury (born March 6, 1947) is an American retired high jumper, who is considered one of the most influential athletes in the history of track and field. Besides winning a gold medal at the 1968 Olympics, he revolutionized the high jump event with a "back-first" technique, now known as the Fosbury Flop, adopted by almost all high jumpers today. His method was to sprint diagonally towards the bar, then curve and leap backwards over the bar, which gave him a much lower center of mass in flight than traditional techniques. He continues to be involved in athletics and serves on the executive board of the World Olympians Association. More about Dick Fosbury

Ikko Tanaka
Kenneth Wical
For my submission for the "Who's Who in Graphic Design" project, I've chosen to write about artist, graphic designer and typographer Ikko Tanaka.
Ikko Tanaka – image courtesy of ADC Global – http://adcglobal.org/hall-of-fame/ikko-tanaka/
Since beginning my journey into design at age 15, I've always been fascinated with work that has a strong Japanese influence or point-of-view. From my perspective, there is often a deeply-imbedded sense of whimsicality and fantasy in traditional Japanese art and culture. It's truly astonishing and beautiful when this style finds harmony with more modern design elements like hard geometry and grid systems, and Tanaka's work is no exception.
Ikko Tanaka was born on January 13th, 1930, in Nara City, the first permanent capital of Japan. Not much is known (or publicized, at least) about his early life, but we do know that his interest in the creative arts started at an early age. As a child, he studied art at the Kyoto City School of Fine Arts. As a young adult, he was involved in modern drama and performance, and joined the Atelier-za theatrical study group. It was in this performance studio that he became acquainted with Kabuki and Hokusai's 19th-century woodblock prints.
Under the Wave off Kanagawa (Kanagawa oki nami ura), also known as the Great Wave, from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei), ca. 1830-32 (https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-7-things-hokusai-creator-great-wave)
If we assume that the work of Kasushika Hokusai – specifically, his woodblock prints- were some of Tanaka's initial design inspirations, it's easy to see where his use of traditional Japanese aesthetics some from. Much of Hokusai's work was inspired by being exposed to French and Dutch copper engravings, and focused on landscapes and images of the daily life of Japanese people. Themes of nature, rhythm, and serenity, as well as makeup styles like Kabuki, clearly reveal themselves in Tanaka's later work.
Tanaka went on to graduate from the Kyoto City College of Fine Arts (now known as the Kyoto City University of Arts) in 1950. Two years later, he joined the Kanegafuchi Spinning Mills, where he worked as a textile designer until 1957. During his time at the Spinning Mills, he began his independent career of designing posters. His first work came in the form of a commission for an Argentinian orchestra concert advertisement. In 1961, he created the first of his 30 year-series of iconic Noh-themed posters.
Nihon Buyo Poster (1981) perhaps Tanaka's most immediately recognizable piece of work. via (http://www.designishistory.com/1960/ikko-tanaka/)
One of the core elements of Ikko Tanaka's visual language is his masterful manipulation of geometry, exemplified by his series of Noh posters. In these designs, the face is always the focus of the piece, but the composition always varied in the way in which shapes and colors formed the features. In his 1981 Nihon Buyo poster for UCLA (as seen above), the entire composition is made of rectangles, triangles, and circles that comprise the delicate face of a Geisha. What truly brings the entire piece together is the two half-circles in the middle, tilted slightly inward to give the appearance of eyes. This slight but crucial touch gives rationale for the placement of the purple rectangle (the hairband), the small pink gradient (blush) and the two small circles in the center of the lower half of the page (lips).
A few years after leaving his position as a textile designer, he was employed as a graphic designer and art director at the Sankei Shinbun, Nippon Design Center (shortened to the NDC). The Nippon Design Center was established in December of 1959 and was, in their own words, born from "Japan's top designers, copywriters, and photographers joining together as a creative organization aiming to further develop and improve the quality of advertising design in Japan." Having acquired investment from some of Japan's biggest companies- including Asahi Breweries, Toshiba, Toyota Motor, and Nikon- the establishment was undoubtedly a creative powerhouse.
Time spent at the NDC allowed Tanaka to start to spread his wings and come into his own as a designer. During his time here as a designer he spearheaded a multitude of print projects, from books to posters to advertising materials. In 1962, he helped develop the very first NDC exhibition, held in Amsterdam. In this same year, the Swiss design magazine "Graphis" published a feature article about the NDC.
In 1963, the Ikko Tanaka Design Studio was established in Tokyo. Through his studio, he completed work for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, which was a notable feat for two reasons: the youth of his studio, and the fact that his previous employer, the creative powerhouse that is the Nippon Design Center, was only offered the same opportunity two years later. Tanaka designed the symbols, signage, and medals for the Tokyo Olympics. Throughout the 1950s and 60s, Japanese designers made a great effort to make an impact on modern design; by using the 1964 Tokyo Olympics as a platform for his work, Tanaka earned his spot as one of the best representatives of Japanese design.
Around this time he became acquainted with creative director Kazuko Koike. During this time Koike "remembers that… she was pursuing an outstanding visual representation of Japanese cultural manifestations, which ended up in manifold successful collaborations with Tanaka."
Photograph of pieces from a volume of the IKKO TANAKA ISSEY MIYAKE collection. – https://www.isseymiyake.com/ikkotanaka/en/concept.html
One of these collaborations is Issey Miyake. East meets West, which began in 1978, and still carries on today (!), with their most recent collection being released in 2016. In testament to the newest collection, Issey Miyake states that "Ikko Tanaka continued his challenge to create new value at all times. By expressing his powerful works in the form of clothing, we wish [for] many people to recognize the ideal form of design along with its [essence] of fun." Tanaka's studio went on to collaborate with Hanae Mori and Kenzo Takada, also Japanese fashion designers with an eye for the modern and avant-garde.
Tanaka went on to design for the Osaka World Expo in 1970, where he designed the Japanese historical pavilion. In 1973, the Saison's Seibu Theater in Tokyo began commissioning posters inspired by his previous work creating Noh faces as advertisements, followed by a similar request by The New National Theatre in Tokyo. He eventually went on to become the art director of the Saison Group, and led numerous design projects, including installation work, exhibition spaces, galleries and theaters. In 1985, he oversaw the design of symbols for the Tsukuba Expo, and in 1996 designed for the World City Expo Tokyo. It is estimated that throughout his entire career, he oversaw the design and development of over six-hundred-and-fifty books. To this day, his work remains a part of the permanent collections in the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
In an interview with Yeonsoo Chee, a Korean native and art curator in California, Kirk Silsbee writes that "[Chee] acknowledges that there was always something quintessentially Japanese in his work… Tanaka was constantly evolving and changing but something remained with him at all times: the ability to give the viewer something simple but powerful at the same time." His body of work throughout his life spanned advertisements, books, posters, packaging design, textiles, installations, identity, and typography- not only was his talent multi-faceted, but carried a clear passion for imbuing as many facets of the world around him with his artistic vision.
Ikko Tanaka died on January 11th, 2002. In his lifetime, he created work that was constantly on the cutting edge of the design world, but was always deeply influenced by his own whimsical nature and traditional Japanese aesthetics. It's nearly impossible to imagine a future in which modern Japanese design could outgrow seeking inspiration from Tanaka's endlessly brilliant style.

Looking to buy a Van or large Car for my Akita Inu's any advice?
I am looking to buy my first Car (or van). I am looking for something with at least 3 seats but 5 would be better and enough space for my two akita's to have a cage each set up. I also have a small breed so would be great if I could have space for him (maybe on the top of the large cages?) although he could share with either of the akita's.
I don't want a huge vehicle but want my akita's to be comfortable.
As this is my first car I don't want something too expensive if possible.
I hope I have covered everything, If anyone has any advice it would be very much appreciated.
You'd probably be best looking for a crew-cab small van. Something like the Ford Transit Connect LWB or VW Caddy Maxi (when I measured up the SWB versions of these vans I found them to be smaller than the back of my old Vauxhall Zafira so make sure you take measurements rather than just doing it by eye, looks are deceiving). Crew cab would mean 5 seats so less room in the back than the normal 2 seats you get in small vans.
I recently bought a Nissan NV200 which is perfect for my 5 (however the four bigger dogs travel loose and not crated and it also has a reverse camera as standard which helps for parking!
Obviously if you go for the crew cab for the seats you'd have less room than I have here, but you can lay two humans out lengthways in the back.
Alternatively you could go for a mid-sized van like the standard Ford Transit which has 3 seats anyway in the front so you'd have all the rear space for dogs, however as a first vehicle and having test driven a couple they are very large. There's also the Peugeot Expert and Citroen Dispatch with are both the same engine/shape just different badges.
I did have mine modified slightly and had the bulkhead partially cut out to have the mesh fitted so the dogs are not totally cut off in the back. Also had a vent fitted to the roof for air flow.
Thanks six for your reply I will look into each of these makes, that was very helpful.

Fringe is everywhere. From bags to jacket to top to anything. I love fringe as it does make things a bit more interesting and adds a little something to an outfit. It can be at the sleeves or at the bottom of the top even the whole clothing pieces. I do think that fringe is seasonless as you can wear it anytime.


Have you ever come across a sugar baby profile and think to yourself, this is my type of relationship, and instantly show interest on the spot? A great sugar baby profile is the first successful step to find a real sugar daddy.

A picture can be worth a thousand words, and a perfect sugar baby profile will never be short of a few awesome pictures. It turns out that the more photos you have on your profile, the more attention it receives, so make the most of that. Images are the first things that come to a sugar daddy's sight when browsing profiles, which is also a key point to determine their interest level. A photo of yourself allows sugar daddies realizing that you are an actual person on the other end where you'll actually interact with them.

Preferences and boundaries are very important. Describe your interests, boundaries and preferences in specifics if you want to be understood and respected better. Not all sugar daddies are the ones you're looking for, so you can use filter settings to select who can view your profile and approach you. While this may reduce clicks on your profile, it will make your match more precise and it will be more likely to lead to success.
The last thing for an impressive sugar baby profile is keeping it up to date. In order to make your POT sugar daddies know better about your recent life, remember to renew your profile on a regular basis, such as photos, headlines, etc. An active sb is bound to have a better chance of finding an ideal sd.

In a few earlier posts1,2, I have mentioned, and commented on, Plan S. In September of 2018, immediately after Plan S was presented, Tim Vines published a post on The Scholarly Kitchen3 in which he argues that Plan S, based on funding open access with Article processing Fees (APCs) should be scrapped and instead, OA should be financed by submission fees. He called his idea Plan T (I guess because T follows S in the alphabet). It is an old idea, but a valid one. I have for a long time been in favor of submission charges. After all, getting a paper reviewed and accepted in a journal is like doing an exam, to get a driver's licence, for instance. One has to pay for such an exam, whether or not one passes or fails. Tim Vines uses the example of a dental check up in his post. You don't just pay if the dentist finds a cavity to fill or a tooth to extract.
For publishers, moving to a submission fee based business model carries with it a significant first-mover disadvantage. I am reminded of the phenomenon in the 1960s and 70s of authors abandoning society-run journals and flocking to commercial ones, partly because of societies levying page charges and commercial journals presenting researchers with free publication options (free to authors, that is). Tim Vines seems rather optimistic of his Plan T having a good chance of success, given, as he expects that "having submission fees paid directly by funders would also significantly mitigate the first-mover effect, and helpfully the direct payment of publication fees is already part of Plan S."3
I am less optimistic. Not because I believe that funders would refuse to pick up the bill, but for another reason: what a submission fee would do, is oblige a publisher to guarantee carrying out proper peer review and truly justifying any rejection. That is something many publishers may not – possibly cannot – do, or are most uncomfortable doing.
So, on to the next letter in the alphabet: Plan U. The same day that Tim Vines' post was published, Richard Sever (of Cold Spring Harbor Publishers and bioRxiv) reacted by firing off a tweet which said: "Plan U: just mandate preprint deposition and let a downstream ecosystem of overlays/journals with various business models evolve in response to community needs. Side benefit: speeding up science massively…"4
Now we're talking. This is entirely in line with what I proposed in 2015 [in a blog post]5. At first, Plan U appeared on a web site, planu.org, which was anonymous, undated, and doesn't exist anymore. However, on June 4th, 2019, a formal article entitled "Plan U: Universal access to scientific and medical research via funder preprint mandates"6 appeared in the journal PLOS Biology. There is no reason whatsoever why this Plan U should not take off, although it may initially go slowly, given the usual inertia in the scientific community at large.
Plan U offers science communication everything it needs. Rapid sharing of research results via preprints, without the sometimes high cost of APCs; options of obtaining peer review and formal journal publication afterwards. And the latter, which can be expensive, only if and when necessary for funding or career development. It even may make the differences between open access and subscription journals fairly irrelevant for the dissemination of research results, as an open access version of every article will in any way be guaranteed via the preprint.

2 Thoughts on "Open Access Plans — S, T, U, so far"
Jeroen Bosman on July 10, 2019 at 13:17 said:
Jan, I respect you opinion and agree with most of what you are saying here. However, the difficult questions are not addressed. They revolve around this section:
"[Plan U offers ….] options of obtaining peer review and formal journal publication afterwards. And the latter, which can be expensive, only if and when necessary for funding or career development."
The questions I have here are:
1) In a hypothetical future situation where journal publication would not be necessary for funding or careers for anyone, could we do away with all journals? Or are journals the one and only option to support funding and career decisions? Now more funders and institutions sign DORA one would expect that journals will stop being a vehicle for such decisions.
2) As there are just "options to obtain peer review", what should drive the decision to have peer review and who should do the peer review? As the preprint will be the publication, peer review will be entirely post publication. It will not not support processes of selection/rejection but only discussion/improvement. Given that change, would organizing/promoting/overviewing community peer review not be something that lies closer to societies than to journal publishers?
Jan Velterop on July 15, 2019 at 07:29 said:
You rightly call a situation where journal publication would not be necessary for funding or careers for anyone hypothetical. It is, for now. That's why I said that formal publication in journals may still be deemed necessary, in the judgement of the author, or funder, or institution. Of course, that will diminish, and hopefully disappear altogether, when the DORA ethic is universal. But what's important for me is that the results of research are being freely and openly shared, whether or not they are published in formal journals. If journals are not needed for careers or funding, they may still be useful organising devices for some, although I expect that will wane as well, especially if these 'organising devices' are expensive.
As for your second question, the decision to try to get peer review for articles posted as preprints could be taken by anyone. By authors, by readers, by funders (tied up, perhaps, with obtaining reviews for funding proposals by the same researcher), and indeed editors of journals who may want to formally publish a preprint they find interesting. Rejection is not much of an issue, in my view, as most papers are eventually published anyway, down the cascade of prestige, but selection and improvement may add value. Community peer review would be good, but I would not necessarily just rely on societies for that. Many societies are also publishers and only distinguishable from commercial publishers in the fact that they are not-for-profit. That can – and does, often enough – just mean that their 'profits' are called 'surpluses'. Of course, these surpluses are mostly used for the benefit of the discipline in question, but profits can have benefits, too. Just think of the pension funds for academics which hold shares in publishing companies.
What Plan U would do is let the open preprint be the method of sharing results, and in parallel to that, the journals the method of formally adding a judgement or a 'ribbon', a prestige label. Sharing research results and awarding 'ribbons' should be separated. And the services that journals provide may not be deemed necessary by any of the stakeholders for a given paper. If the author or funder wants these services, the system of APCs is a good way of paying for it; if the reader does, the system of access fees (or subscriptions) is.
By the way, review is not necessarily only post-publication for a preprint. Authors could invite experts in their fields (they may know better who the experts are than some of the journals to which they might submit) to review their manuscripts, and take any critical views or suggestions for improvement into account, before posting their preprint.

Vettel Interview with blick.ch: I'm going into the new year happily.
15/12/2019 15/12/2019 sebvettelnews
Sebastian Vettel, first of all congratulations for the birth of your son.
Sebastian Vettel: Thank you.
To match the seven time fathers Nelson Piquet and Emerson Fittipaldi, you now only have four missing.
SV: (Laughs) But hey! These two cheated. The seven children are each from different mothers.
The many reviews about your driving style and mistakes must have annoyed and annoyed you?
SV: You learn with time to deal with it better. Many people in all parts of life form a judgment too quickly. And other things are forgotten just as quickly.
You are a four-time world champion, are you referring to your fame and success?
SV: In a world in which everything is as fast-paced as it is today, unfortunately both go very quickly.
Somehow I have the feeling that you are too intellectual for Formula 1.
SV: I do not believe that. There are certainly smarter people in the paddock than I am. But why do you have this impression?
You recently gave a great interview to the DPA (newspaper) in Germany. You talk about a time out and values such as decency, respect and honesty. Can you live it all up?
SV: I don't think there is anyone who can live up to all the values that perhaps stand for something very good. But I think that you have to have a certain framework in your head so that you can hold into certain virtues. I don't think that you can always succeed, but you can more and more if you try.
You often talk about "digital madness" that can no longer be stopped. In this regard, what can you give your children along on the path of life?
SV: You cannot avoid this topic. The world is what it is – and development is progressing quickly. You have to be able to live with everything that is not so good. But there are also good things. You should not shut yourself off from the new. It is important for my children how to live certain things themselves. You will immediately notice if you don't live things the way they should be!
So your children use a cell phone in front of you?
SV: They will have one sooner than me! I got my first cell phone when I was 17. With a prepaid card. 25 euros on the cell phone etc. Back then, it was mostly used only for making calls. It's different today.
Why are you against Twitter, Facebook and Instagram?
SV: I just don't feel the need to share my private life with the public. It's as simple as that. Even if I know that I'm definitely not average. Today is all about constantly communicating with the outside world.
Will your children have the same opinion on social networks?
SV: No, because the dynamics with cell phones start at school. So everyone has to participate, otherwise you are quickly an outsider. At four and five years old, the problem has not yet arisen – luckily!
They say that the pace is actually not made for this world. If everyone just steps on the gas, at some point it won't go any further.
SV: I believe that people have a certain pace. Now of course you can argue about what is fast. At first it was the horse that got people from A to B. Then came the mobility and its development. What has really overtaken us now is the computer. It is faster than we are. And it will get faster and faster. The question is simple: can we still control the computer in a few years?
An interesting question that scares many people.
SV: Well, society doesn't live well with this development. The stress may even be life threatening. Diseases and burst outs multiply. This is also a big topic in Formula 1, are the breaks now too short? And next year there will be 22 races for the first time. Unfortunately, the situation also affects the youth, which has been going on to the lowest school classes for some time, where the children simply have more stress. There will have to be solutions soon.
You really are interested in everything: the world view, politics, climate change. You can join the discussion anywhere. Your answers are almost like longer contributions.
SV: Let's leave politics out. I don't have too much hope, everything is a little too slow. Of course you follow world events, but it's not my thing.
Climate change is the most current issue. Would you like to go to a fine restaurant with Greta Thunberg?
SV: I would have no problem eating out with her. But I don't know if she wants to sit at a table with me. In her view, I'm not exactly a role model. But I think it's great that the youth is committed. It is also necessary that someone stands up and gives the direction.
SV: Each of us can and must do something. Perhaps you should look less at what's not quite right. You should rather look at what you can do yourself. Otherwise we will be rubbing our eyes in a few years.
You already picked up plastic bottles in the paddock.
SV: Many then ask themselves: "What does he want to show us? He himself flies thousands of kilometers around the world." But we have to get away from this attitude and get everyone to wonder what contribution they can make themselves.
Your big disadvantage in racing is the emotional side. It is particularly difficult for those who stand up for justice in Formula 1.
SV: Yes, perhaps. But I don't think that's a disadvantage. Everyone is the way they are. And that I am emotional from time to time is part of it. I like this sport, and a good portion of passion is also necessary in the cockpit. From time to time it would help me to be a little bit less emotional. But that would also take away the driving joy and the fun.
The 2019 season was rollercoaster ride. In Montreal you were at the bottom with your victory stolen thanks to the 5-second penalty – and in Singapore with your only victory of the season.
SV: It was definitely not the year we all hoped for. That is the main point. We had to put up with a lot in the first half of the season and tried to learn a lot. That didn't work out. I missed a few opportunities in the second half. In the end it got more and more constant, but the bottom line is that it was not the season we wanted. And if the rhythm is missing, there are usually a few other things that stand in the way. However, that doesn't knock you out after so many years.
Many fans ask: "How long does the four-time world champion and 53-time GP winner still feel like it?" The last five years have vainly pursued the red title dream.
SV: That was also five years of experience with a great team. I am grateful for that. However, I hope that it will not be five years more to the great success.
So full throttle in the Ferrari with great desire?
SV: As long as I perform and can do, age doesn't matter. Hamilton is three years older than me. The pendulum swings very quickly anyway. Then you have three good races, and opinions change again. Everyone has their own experiences.
Have you ever seriously considered retiring from Formula 1?
SV: Not specifically. But after more than twelve years, you will surely think about what comes next. It is not good to go through life without a plan. Nobody knows whether it really is this plan.
Is your desire to drive at Ferrari really unlimited? Or will you be back with Red Bull in your previous family in 2021?
SV: I wouldn't go that far now. At the moment the aim at Ferrari is clear – the world title. And we are not there yet.
When did you realize that the big celebration would not be in Maranello again?
SV: Actually, quite early on, but of course you try to suppress that for a long time. We were realistic after only three races because the distance to Mercedes was quite large. And there were no signs that the gap could be closed overnight.
Charles Leclerc beat you in the internal duel with 12: 9 and 2: 1 in victories. Is he the upcoming superstar? Or did you fall into a summer slump before the satisfactory final sprint?
SV: My season just wasn't perfect. Small things make the difference. In the end, the points that should have been scored are missing. Of course I'm not satisfied, I have to improve, clearly. Life against Charles will certainly not be easier in 2020. And the new generation is already fully there. With Charles, Max, Esteban, Lando, Alex, George, Pierre…
How would you rate your season from 1 to 10?
SV: I was not good enough for an 8, 9 or 10. A 5 would be too hard. So a 6 or 7. You have to be careful, things like that will be rubbed under your nose again later.
Again: How do you deal with the often harsh criticism or advice from previous drivers like Villeneuve, Webber or Irvine?
SV: Each of us has an opinion that can be accepted in a certain sense. But it is unhealthy to judge immediately without knowing the background. When I blame myself, everyone says he has blamed himself. But maybe something was also to blame for the car because it suddenly changed.
What was the big minus for you in the Ferrari SF90? Just the restless tail, as you always emphasized?
SV: Yes, that was the common thread, let's say the thread that ran through the season. We were just not stable enough from start to finish to take the speed into the corners. Especially on the rear axle compared to the other teams. That was our Achilles' heel. Especially in the slow and medium-speed corners we always lost time that we could rarely make up for with our speed on the straights.
Are the new rules an advantage for you from the 2021 season? 18-inch tires, heavier but slower cars?
SV: I hope the cars don't slow down. If, however, the goals of better overtaking are achieved, you are willing to accept a loss of three to four seconds. Otherwise not. Then it would be a disappointment.
You told your friend Bernie Ecclestone on his farm in Brazil that you tried vegan. Are you even on the trail of Lewis Hamilton?
SV: No, the experiment was already in 2018. The experiment lasted around six weeks and I learned a lot from it. It is up to you how and what you eat. I have dealt intensively with the topic and there is no proper diet because everyone is different, every body reacts differently. What I don't like is a judgment that is too quick. They say that everything is right and that everything is wrong. What has changed for me: I now eat less meat and pay more attention to the quality of the products, which is relatively easy in Switzerland. In addition, more vegetables are now on the plate.
What would you put under the Christmas tree for Hamilton, Leclerc, Verstappen and ex-partner Raikkonen?
SV: As a teammate, Charles gets a present from me anyway.
SV: I can't reveal that here, otherwise it's no surprise. Lewis, Max and Kimi get a nice card from me like last year. And I probably won't get an answer this time either.
Back to your intelligence again. You gave a moving speech in English at Silverstone to commemorate race director Charlie Whiting, who died in Australia in March. In front of all drivers, team leaders and the media. Applause has rarely been stronger.
SV: When you go through life awake, there are a lot of events that remind you of how well you really are. And Charlie's death has shown how quickly things can change overnight. Of course, all of this affected us. And you can still feel the consequences. Even if the new people try to plug the holes, it does not mean that everything is running smoothly again.
Are you happily going into the relatively short winter break?
SV: Yes, I'm really happy. I really need a break after this hectic season. Sometimes you have the feeling that you are in rhythm and that the best is to keep going. But this is not the case this year.
Can you see yourself skiing on the Vorarlberg Alps again this winter?
SV: Yes, I'm sure I'm back on the boards. But this time I also want to go to Zermatt and the Jungfraujoch. I was there a few years ago and really enjoyed it there.

Incredibly tough and beautiful deciduous shrub that is fantastic all summer with a continuous supply of spikes of deep pink pea flowers all summer. To 7′ x 5′ in 5 years in average to rich soil (where it will grow MUCH larger) and light summer water. Very drought adapted when established. Flowers are produced on new wood (growth from the current season) and as the plant grows it continually blooms. Loved by pollinators and it attracts the very coolest butterflies. Vivid flower color pairs well with dark foliaged plants. It may be cut back hard in early spring when established to provide more blooming wood, or to check the size. Very cold hardy. Purple Indigo. Moderate deer resistance.


In a letter written to the Guardian by Environmental pressure group Friends of the Earth (FOE), they have outlined their belief that the government is not doing enough to promote small-scale renewable energy generation in the UK.
The letter published on Jan 18th in the national daily newspaper asserted that the government's proposed targets of producing two per cent of all energy by renewable means by 2020 is too low, and that the UK government should drastically increase its ambition if there is to be a realistic hope of fighting climate change through carbon emission reduction.
"Businesses generating their own clean electricity will reduce their energy bills, increase their competitiveness and reduce their vulnerability to future fossil energy price rises.
With similar pressure groups such as We Support Solar urging the government to deliver higher targets with regards to 2020 renewable energy generation there is a mounting media pressure for the government to match its rhetoric with results.
If initiatives such as the Clean Energy Cash Back scheme fail to bring about a wholesale change in Energy production within the next five years, we can certainly expect further disquiet from those with a real desire to see the effects of climate change brought to an end.


CLINT MALARCHUK: An Amazing Follow Up Interview By Samina Raza.
He is a philosopher, and has a deep understanding of his illness, and what it takes to stay well. He truly understands life in general! Thank you Clint. All my best wishes. So happy to know you! It starts below.
C: I've been busy. Traveling quite a bit and public speaking about mental health, getting busier. Mostly in Ontario and Alberta.. Oh I get it, you mean where I'm at today. Yes, I can talk about that.
How are you doing now, moods, anxiety, mental health?
C: I would say that I'm doing very well today. You know that part of it is educating yourself and through experience you learn when you're starting to struggle. Like stress, when I start getting stressed out, that's when I have to take the extra time to check in with myself. I'm not sure if I told you last time, my tools are a 12 step program, I meditate and pray everyday and I try to exercise. I have a workout routine that I try to do every day. Those things keep me balanced. Now I can say that when I feel like I'm stressed out, and I'm starting to maybe slide into obsessive thinking or anxiety especially, it'll get me so anxious, then I have to take my time and I double up on my medication, because sometimes my habit is to rush through and plow through everything and now I'll take a step back and I'll take the time to meditate, to bring my anxiety level down and then I can approach the problem or the stress or what ever is going in my life, whatever is the stressful situation a lot better and a lot clearer.
Oh wow! That's amazing! Guess what, you just answered ALL of my question. Ok, we're done. Haha.
C: Haha. It's almost one question: how are you doing today and what keeps you in the healthy range. I make it sound easy but sometimes it's not. When your anxiety gets going, it's hard to just say "Ok, I'm going to go meditate then," and find a quiet place. You're trying to meditate and your mind just keeps bouncing back to what you're trying to forget and ground yourself and center yourself. So it's not always easy. I don't want to make it sound like "Oh, I'm doing great because all I do is this and this." And also the medication I'm taking is in my system and it helps me.
Are you on anti-anxiety medicines, like a benzodiazepine?
C: No. antidepressants. I take Cymbalta. And I take Seroquel, I take it at night because it helps me fall asleep. I take a 100 mg.
Ha! I take 125 mg of Seroquel.
C: Yes. But judging from Facebook and your blog posts, when they come up, I think: when does this lady sleep? So are you a night owl?
I am, I am a night owl. I go to sleep, for example at 3 am and then stay asleep, I'm not working right now, so there's no reason for me to get up early. So then I get up around 11 am, sometimes noon. It's BAD! I feel like i'm a teenager.
C: Some people, I think are wired differently. My wife, she gets up at 3:30 or 4'o'clock in the morning. She is a figure skating teacher and she goes up to the rink and they're on the ice at 6 or 6:30 am. She doesn't have to get up that early, but she does. She likes to take her time. She says it's quiet. I can relate to that. There are a lot of people who like the quiet of the morning. My sister's like you, she goes to bed late.
C: I can go to bed at 9 pm and get up at 7 'o'clock.
Wow, that is so wonderful! I wish I could do that! I don't take my Seroquel till I am done with everything, like posting on my blog. I'm sure if I took it at 9 pm, I'd be asleep by 10 pm. I'm going to do that.
C: You take Seroquel? And what else do you take?
Yes I take Seroquel. And then of course, I take the mainstay for bipolar disorder, which is Lithium. I take everything at night, all at one time.
C: My sister's like you, she'll clean the whole house at night.
I feel very creative at night, it seems like my mind works better at night. And in the morning, I don't want to wake up. Don't wake me up, please. Haha.
C: I'm like you in that, maybe it's because of the medication I'm on, I have a hard time waking up. I need a lot of coffee. I drink a whole pot. Over a couple of hours, I'll drink a whole pot of coffee. And then I'm ready to go, but till then I have a hard time. Don't let society make you feel bad. There are a lot of people who do better at night, they stay awake till 3 in the morning, they go to bed late. There's nothing wrong with that. Who says that's wrong?
As long as you don't have to go to work.
C: Yeah. Well if you have to go to work and you have to be there at 8'o'clock in the morning, well then… But if you have your own schedule, then what the heck. You know? Society again, just like with mental illness, stigma, society, lets not let society dictate to us.
I agree with you. And you really answered all my question! The next one I was going to ask was "How are you keeping well?" And you answered that. The next one was "Are you on medication?" and you answered that. The next one is: Is exercise and nutrition important? And what do you do for exercise?
C: You know I used to lift weights a lot, but now as I am older, I am careful with my joints. I've got dumb bells. I do TRX, it's straps, a suspension system. They hang from something up high. You can see it on youtube. It's cardio and muscles. I do that with dumb bells and in my barn, I punch a bag a lot.
Yes, ok, you look like you're in really good shape. And you horseback ride, right?
C: Yes, I'm glad you brought that up, because I find that my animals, I have a little dog, and she is my emotional support. When I meditate, I lay down and the cat lays on my belly and the dog curls up beside me, it is very relaxing. Petting them, and hearing the cat purr and the dog all cuddled up, that all kind of gives you that calming feeling. So they're therapeutic. And of course, when I ride, that's therapeutic too.
That sounds great! I always feel like animals, like dogs and cats pull out the love that's inside of you.
C: Yes, yes. Well I'm really in to animals. And people have always said that, when I work on horses for my business, the horses that no one can really get close to, I just walk up to them. And people say "How did you do that, what are you doing? This horse is always afraid of people!" I believe in your energy, we all have it. We're animals just like they are, so I really believe that my energy is really confident with animals, so they respond to me.
Ha! You're the horse whisperer!
C: Yes (laughing) some people say that. I take that as a compliment.
I'm going for a weekend for healing therapy with horses. I'm really looking forward to it. I'll blog about it.
C: Just remember your energy and try to be in tune and they will respond. You'll get more out of it if you're in tune with the animals. Be confident with them, and supportive and you'll get a lot out of it.
Yes, you're right, you're right. That is great advice and I am definitely going to follow it!
C: And you can just call it love, that'll simplify it. Haha.
So true. It's the energy of love. And what they do at the ranch I'm going to is, you walk into the herd of horses, and whichever horse picks you, is your horse for the weekend! Isn't that cool?
C: Yes, it's cool. It's kind of what I'm talking about. Yup.
Yes, like your energy sort of matches that particular horse's, so he's yours.
The next question was "Have you or would you try meditation?" and you just answered that. So here's the next one: What has been the most helpful thing in your recovery and well being?
C: Well I'm a big proponent of getting yourself treated because you're sick. You're not weak. Because some people say "Just don't be depressed" or "Don't be bipolar." They don't know. But once they understand it's a sickness, it's a chemical imbalance, then they say "Oh ok." It's ok, I go to the doctor, it's like diabetes or another illness. So once they realize that, they understand. I am a big proponent of medication. Some people aren't, but I believe that when you're sick, you go to the doctor. And if you're chemically imbalanced, whether it's your pancreas/diabetes or if it's your brain/serotonin, it doesn't matter. So I believe medication has saved me. And that in itself was not easy. As you know, you try different medications, different doses. And it's not immediate, you have to be on it for a while before you figure out if it works or it doesn't work. So, that was a long trial for me.
Yes, yes. Well they used to give people who have bipolar d/o SSRI's like Zoloft or Prozac. But now they say that SSRI's cause more mood swings, so they are taking us off them. I was taken off Zoloft, something I'd been on since the 1990's. So I have been having some trouble coming off it after so many years.
C: Yes, me too. It's like you have withdrawals, it's not a good feeling. You feel sick.
Yes. But almost, the physical symptoms I can handle, but sometimes I feel depressed or anxious… but eventually it'll go away. They say that for people to come off Zoloft takes 6-12 months for their brains to normalize! I've been off it for almost 6 months now. So I am hoping things will get better soon!
You are so correct! I was on a LOT of medications. But the side effects were so awful, seemed worse than my illness. I've found 3 medications I can take, one was Zoloft, and then Lithium and Seroquel. That's it.
C: I took Zoloft for a long time too.
C: Oh no. It worked really well. Then I think I was on it for so long that my body got immune.
True, your brain gets used to it. There are semi permanent changes that happen in the brain when you're on something like Zoloft or Prozac. And when those changes happen, your brain stops responding to the drug.
C: Yes, I think that's what happened. Because I took it for 14 years. I wasn't getting checked by the doctor regularly either.
Oh yes, I read that in your book. I've had some good doctors, and then I've had some who were not good at all.
C: Yes. Same here! I've spent years trying to find a different doctor. It's difficult to change, especially if you had one who you trusted a lot.
C: No, I still have to.. and whether this is exactly mental illness, but for me it seems somewhat it is, that I have to work on my issues. There's self love, and I don't know if this is a product of my upbringing, what I went through with my dad. They're just issues. I think we all have different issues. I have to be kind to myself, and remind myself that I deserve to be happy. I think that growing up in turmoil, that anxiety was the norm for me. And sometimes, if I'm not feeling anxious, I feel like I have to think of something to worry about, to get anxious. Because that's where I'm comfortable, Even though it's not a good feeling, but when you grow up that way, you feel like something's missing. I think a lot of people may be able to relate to that but it's a bit of a hard thing to understand. Think about it. You probably know people that love the drama, they love it when something's going on, when it's not good. Maybe that's what they miss in their life, because as kids they had that. I don't know, but I know for me, I think that's pretty accurate. I have to be conscious of it, I have to be really in tune with my feelings, and my thoughts. What's going on? Why are you feeling anxious? Why are you not feeling anxious? Be in tune with myself. And this is where medication helps too.
I think medication is key too. I would not be sitting here interviewing you without the Lithium and even Seroquel. I'd probably be in a hospital.
C: Oh I'm sure I would too. I'd probably be dead.
Oh gosh, I hope not. That's so scary!
C: No, it's true though.
Needless to say, I am really, really glad you're here! Lets just keep it that way!
C: And you are doing a great job with your blogs. They are very educational. Sometimes when you read something, you say "Yeah! I just couldn't put it into words. That sure describes me." That's educational.
Thank you so much! I started this blog in August of last year and I said if it helps even one person, then I am successful. So if you say that it means something to you, I appreciate it so much!
C: Oh for sure! And that helps you too because you're supporting people whom you're helping and when you do that, it gives you support. And you're supporting them, that's what this is all about. Helping each other.
Absolutely. The people who comment on my blog, and post something and the other bloggers and people who subscribe to my blog, we really have a conversation about the things that I write and it helps me and hopefully it helps them.
C: Have you heard of the magazine called Esperanza? They did an article on me.
Oh Congratulations! I'll find it and post it on my blog.
If your emotions boil over, how do you control them?
C: That would be part of my keep checking to see what I'm feeling and why and what I'm thinking. To figure out what's going on, if I'm feeling anxious, to ask "Why are you feeling anxious, what are you thinking?" So those things, but also everything else you do, like meditation, and working out. Those things help you keep that balance. So you don't boil over, that is the number one thing. It's probably as important as taking your medication. My routine of all the things I do to keep my balance.
How are you managing the alcohol issue?
C: I go to AA. I try to go to a meeting almost everyday. It's important for me, I feel the more meetings I go to, the more I learn the tools of the 12 steps, how to properly apply them.
Yes that is really very important.
Is alone time important or are you very social?
C: I'm both. I like being with people, I joke around, and I make people laugh. But I also really value my alone time. And my alone time includes my wife. I can't be around people all the time, it'll drive you crazy. But when I am around them, I enjoy them.
How do you think you can stay healthy?
Right, probably if you weren't doing all those things, it wouldn't be very easy to be with you and it wouldn't be very good for your health.
Have you ever looked at this book called "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle?
C: Yes. I've read quite a few of his books. I have all of them.
Do you feel they help you in any way?
C: Yes. But personally, I find his writing to be a little more complicated for what I like. The book that I really like is "The Four Agreements." Those four agreements are simple. I really like the simplicity of that book. I try to use that one.
Yes, I agree, Eckhart Tolle sort of blends Zen Buddhism with New Age spirituality, so it can be complicated. But for me, when I first read it, I was like: Wow, this is a new way to be! But then I sort of forgot about it so I think I have to read it again.
C: And that's the creatures of habit! If we're going to change habits, we have to replace them with other habits. Like when you said: Wow this could change my thinking and my everyday living! And yet we forget, because it's a habit. So you have to resolve to practice them everyday. Like "The Four Agreements" is easy, it's just four things.
Well that's it, that was the last question. Unless you would like to add anything else. Thank you very much for your time and for answering all my questions. I am so happy you are doing so well. I'm going to start doing all the things you are doing. Stay well and we'll talk soon.

Mari Maurstad and Zulufadder awarded The Children of The Earth Prize for 2017.
Zulufadder was established by Norwegian actress Mari Maurstad (in the rear, with red hat) after a holiday she spent in South Africa 12 years ago. Zulufadder is a private sponsorship organization that started with support from Mari's friends and acquaintances, strengthened by Mari's great drive and desire to help children in the region of Zululand. Today, it has registered more than 1,000 godparents in Norway and elsewhere in the world. Zulufadder is an ideal (non-profit) organization, created to meet the needs of disadvantaged children in South Africa.
Zulufadder helps vulnerable children who have lost their parents as a result of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in South Africa, or are disadvantaged for other reasons. Zulufadder operates in the rural areas around Eshowe in Zululand, which is located approximately 150 km north of Durban on the east coast of South Africa. The 1,000 children today supported by godfathers, live in 500 families in the Eshowe area. These families are headed by parents, grandparents, relatives or other community members.
Today, the project has grown from being a supper kitchen to a multifaceted operation that ensures that the children receive food, counseling, medical treatment, education, self-development, sports, housing and self-help.

To Maurstad's right stand Nick Philips, Popi Buthelezi, Jannicke Rotwitt and Silvia Hellesvik, all with ties to Zulufadder. In front (right) smiles Lulu, who attends 4th grade at Gratton school, and who met the children of Magerøya island and experienced snow, reindeer and midnight sun. Photo: Christian N.B. Christensen.Zulufadder operates three kindergartens which include activities like libraries, meals, aftercare, homework, food parcel distribution, clinics and cultural and sporting activities. In addition, Zulufadder encourages sustainability through the development of handcraft, vegetable gardens, chicken poultry and skill training.
Zulufadder also supports children who go to regular schools in the country, and also run its own school named Gratton. Thanks to long-term efforts, Zulufadder is helping more and more children to reach high school and even university level.
The financing of Zulufadder takes place primarily through sponsors in the form of godfathers. They pay for food and schooling to a particular child to whom they have been assigned.
On the website www.zulufadder.no, sponsors can log in and read about the child they help. In addition to general information about the organization, there are also facts about the various projects that have been started. Read more on www.zulufadder.no
The board of The Children of Earth Foundation regards Zulufadder with Mari Maurstad at the helm as a very worthy winner of The Children of Earth Prize for 2017.
The prize award ceremony took place at North Cape on June 7th. Mari Maurstad and several other representatives of Zulufadder in Norway and South Africa were present, along with one of the children cared for in Zululand. As usual, some 500 students from schools all over Magerøya island attended the event.

        stdout.writeln(line);
      }, onDone: () {
          stdout.write("done");
      }).asFuture().catchError((_) => print(_));
}

Any ideas why it is never getting called?

A: The problem is that you used the asFuture() method.
If you don't use that, onDone will be called properly when EOF is reached; otherwise, you should put a .then((_) => print('done')) after the Future return value of asFuture() for the same effect.
The resulting code should look like this:
(stream
    .transform(utf8.decoder)
    .transform(LineSplitter())
    .listen((line) => print(line))
    .asFuture())
        .then((_) => print("done"))
        .catchError((err) => stderr.writeln(err));
