An innovative device which will improve the quality of life of thousands of people with double vision has received £20,000 after winning a top award. Social Enterprise UK member the Beacon Centre and the University of Wolverhampton joined forces to offer the 2017 Beacon Visionary Challenge Award.
The winner of the award has been announced as the Lens Slip Occluder, which was developed by Burton-on-Trent company DHC Informatics Ltd. The revolutionary Lens Slip Occluder has been developed primarily to treat and alleviate diplopia (double vision) but it can also be effective in the treatment of visual disturbance caused by such conditions as multiple sclerosis, stroke, head injury, cataracts and glaucoma. The Lens Slip Occluder is an optical device worn over a pair of glasses to improve vision when reading books, magazines or newspapers, watching television or using a computer.
The award consists of £10,000 social investment from Beacon and £10,000 worth of consultancy support from the University of Wolverhampton. The winner was chosen from a shortlist by a panel of leading tech entrepreneurs and sight loss experts, chaired by Dr Stephen Fear, the 'phonebox millionaire'.
Beacon Centre is a well-established West Midlands social enterprise that makes a visible difference to people living with sight loss. It provides a range of services including activity programmes life skills, digital and IT training, health and wellbeing, low vison, residential services, and domiciliary care in the community services.
At Sedgley there is also an Opticians that is open to all to attend, with profits being re-invested back to support the charity which is the first accredited social enterprise opticians in the country.

"Do not free a camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel."
Saturday presented us with one of those 'I think we have bitten off more than we can chew' moments as we began started work on Seth's Christmas nativity costume. We always make Seth's costumes if we can and we have made some corkers over the years. Mrs and I are most proud of his Mr Twit outfit for world book day a few years back. This time though we were both preparing ourselves for having to let Seth down as the building of the initial frame was working out to be more annoying than we had envisioned.
Like any good team though we soldiered through our concerns and kept out creative flair on the goal. From the look on Seth's face during the first few hours though, I've got a feeling he could smell our fear and was expecting to rock up at school in a bin bag with some fur attached to it!
It really helps when starting a team project if all involved are on the same page and it is one thing that has always worked out for Mrs M and I. We can nearly always see how the other ones mind is working and despite the initial stressed ranting of my adorable mini fascist dictator wannabe, we quickly found our groove and got to work.
This year Seth is going to be a camel, which is bigger than anything we've made in the past. It needed to be big but light so we built a frame using a long piece of plastic piping from B@Q. Seth didn't look too impressed as we mounted a frame of bent plastic on to him but we had a plan and we were not going to let him down.
Mrs M made the shape of a head and then I got to work sewing a bottom lip and adding in the eyes, tongue, and ears, while Mrs M and Seth started work on the body. Opeie, desperate to get in on the action and wanting to make his mark early on, started working on the teeth. It was a full on family project and the best way to spend a day in the house with it pouring outside.
With the head practically complete we all clubbed together on the body. Rather than buying a length of fur, Mrs M came up with the idea of using some of those fluffy teddy bear blankets as it worked out cheaper for the amount of material. We used 3 in total. Seth happily sat with his plastic frame on while Mrs M stitched and I went all out with the glue gun. I've really come to love our glue gun over the last few weeks, it has been used for so many craft activities.
By the end of Saturday night we had pretty much completed our camel and he had even been named which we all thought was quite funny. As I fell asleep that night I was feeling pretty chuffed with what we had achieved and I know Mrs M felt the same... night Claud!
Sunday morning was soon upon us and the boys were so excited to see Claud and look over the extra parts that Mrs M and I had done while they were sleeping. We still had some legs to make and loads of accessories to add. This was going to be one fabulous camel. We had toyed with the idea of the hump early on and decided to make Seth's head the hump with a hole cut out for him to look through as Seth was stressing out that the audience were not going to hear his few lines (a true perfectionist). The design was great as it meant Seth could sit there comfortably with it on while we worked on it. The gold medallions and Mrs M's garish but fancy made blanket really made the costume stand out.
Seth being Seth, joked about Claud having some testicles hanging down and me and Mrs M did debate whether to put some on without him realising (for the audience) but of course, we couldn't have possibly done that... could we?
By Sunday afternoon Claude was complete and looking pretty swish, Seth decided to take him for a walk out front and the neighbours were gobsmaked (which was great). Nanny and Auntie Lottie turned up at that point too and asked where we had bought the costume from (which was lovely) and a friend of mine also said.. and I quote "Oh. My. Life. You're all So clever. That is literally the most amazing homemade costume I have ever seen! Hi 5 to you all". Yes I'll take that high 5 thank you.
Tomorrow is the day when Claud makes his way to school and we're going to be really interested to see what the teachers think of our creation.
What started out as a huge stress left till the last minute, turned out to be our favourite costume to date and more importantly gave us some quality family time together on a cold and very wet autumn weekend.

'Real Euphoria': Cannes Luxury Back after Pandemic Pause
https://english.aawsat.com/home/article/3640941/real-euphoria-cannes-luxury-back-after-pandemic-pause

After celebrations took a hit during the past two years of Covid-19, this year's Cannes Film Festival promises a return to its traditional wild festivities and displays of exorbitant wealth.
"There is real euphoria... people want human contact," Romain Benichou of rental firm Century 21, told AFP.
But buying your way into the best parties doesn't come cheap, with the fanciest villas going for up to 400,000 euros ($421,000) for the fortnight of the event, AFP said.
That is a small price to pay for the movie moguls and big brands keen to rub shoulders with the glamorous attendees of the world's favorite film shindig.
That is especially true after the 2020 edition was cancelled due to Covid, and last year's was forced to go ahead under strict health protocols that meant the parties were far more muted.
Largely back to normal this year, the French Riviera town is hoping to enjoy the windfall.
The 2019 edition was estimated to have generated 196 million euros ($206 million) for Cannes as it welcomed 125,000 festivalgoers and 12,000 film professionals.
That created 90,000 overnight stays and 2,200 jobs during the event, according to local authorities.
They did not give the figures for 2021, but with American and Asian delegations largely absent and attendees subject to masks and daily Covid-19 tests, they are almost certain to have been far lower.
- 'Bursting' ports -
Things are looking up, though.
"We are not necessarily back to the budgets of five or six years ago, but there is a recovery," said Stephane Grosso, head of Nice-based events firm Terre d'Evenements, adding that he had just come back from scouting a villa for an "important influencer".
"It's changed a lot because last year was bleak," he added.
One sour note for those facilitating the ultra-wealthy will be the lack of Russians.
The festival has explicitly said that Russians with ties to the government are not welcome at the festival or the industry marketplace that runs alongside it.
A spokesman for the market said only "a few Russians without links to the government or public sector" would be present this year, compared with hundreds traditionally.
"There were always one or two Russians organizing a big party on the beach," said Grosso.
"But the return of the Americans will make up for it."
The promise of Americans also has ice cream makers Magnum, one of the festival's sponsors, in a chipper mood and they are hosting a private beach party on May 19 featuring singer Kylie Minogue to celebrate.
"All the big producers are present this year in Cannes," gushed press officer Frederic Henry.
"Not just Tom Cruise... but also Disney and Netflix."
Liberty Yachts, a rental firm, said the two ports in Cannes were "full to bursting".
"The American clientele prefer to rent large private boats during the festival -- it's more discreet than a large hotel," said owner Fabrice Viard.
Not that there is any room in hotels.
Such is the demand, said Viard, that even a former Miss France was unable to secure a room and was forced to book a place in St Tropez, an hour away.
"There isn't a single hotel room or Airbnb left in Cannes," he said.

Park Chan-wook: 'Be prepared to be criticized for your choices'
Published 19th October 2016
Written by Thomas Page, CNN
When we meet at the Korean Cultural Center in London, the first thing I see of Park Chan-wook is the back of his head. The acclaimed director and one-time film critic is perusing the center's movie archive, eyes fixed on titles from years past. For an achingly long moment he's oblivious to my company.
It's the only awkward instant in an interview ripe with possibilities: after all, we're sitting down to discuss what might be this year's steamiest film on the right side of good taste.
"The Handmaiden," launched at Cannes and screening at the London Film Festival, is Park's homage to "Fingersmith" by Welsh novelist Sarah Waters. It's a historical crime tale wrapped in lust and psychosexual drama, for which Park has transported the narrative from nineteenth century England to 1930s colonial era Korea and Japan, putting the director firmly back on home soil after his first Hollywood foray with "Stoker" in 2013.

The plot, drip-fed via a concertinaed narrative, tells the story of a young pickpocket-turned-handmaiden, sent to a country estate to secure the confidence of an heiress, before nudging her towards marriage with a fellow swindler posing as a Japanese Count. Or at least that's the story behind part one of the three act film, paced out in the Jo-ha-kyu style of Japanese theater.
If we've learned anything from Park's oeuvre, it's not to trust a straightforward narrative.
Sex scene? Ask a woman
Among Park's calling cards is his ability to raise the blood pressure -- and the stakes -- in the bedroom. "Oldboy"'s couple horrified audiences with its overtones of Greek tragedy, meanwhile "Thirst"'s affair proved outright fatal. "The Handmaiden" provides another dangerous liaison in Lady Hideko (Kim Min-hee) and Sookee her maid (Kim Tae-ri), circling one another while afraid to voice a love that dare not speak its name.

The lesbian couple and no-half-measures sex scenes have drawn comparisons to 2013's Palme D'or winner "Blue Is the Warmest Color". A fraught production with tension between director Abdellatif Kechiche and his leads, actors Adele Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux later went public expressing their dissatisfaction with Kechiche's methods.
China's most explosive artist has built a 1,650-ft tall ladder made of fire
So what, I ask Park, should directors avoid when it comes to sex on screen?
"I would suggest that from the scriptwriting stage you ask for advice from many people around," he explains through a translator. "And when I say ask those around you, I mean women."
"Make sure scenes don't come across as a male gaze and that they are not in any way objectifying women and sex," Park continues. "On the day never come up with something that was never talked about [with the actors]... Even if you're the kind of director that really loves to be spontaneous and prepared to do things in an impromptu kind of manner, please don't be like that."
Should films break boundaries?
The Korean maestro provides a caveat to his considered approach: "That's not to say you have to stay within the boundaries of political correctness if there is something that you genuinely, artistically, want to express."
Beyond the boundaries of political correctness is Lady Hideko's uncle Kouzuki (Cho Jin-woong), a Japanophile with few scruples and many kinks. His proclivity for smut fiction finds an audience in wealthy colonial men -- the kind of people who get their kicks from the Marquis de Sade. How Kouzuki entertains his clients is better left unsaid.

A ride in hell? An up-close look at real life in megacities
"You have to be prepared to be criticized for your choices," Park says. "In other words, even if you think people will say bad things about it and criticize it, if you still think it has artistic merit, you should do it."
According to Variety, earlier this year distributor CJ Entertainment sought to downplay the film's lesbian elements. Homosexuality is legal in South Korea but gay marriage is not, and in a 2013 report from the Pew Research Center, 59% of Koreans said they didn't think society should accept homosexuality.
Park is bullish on the subject, saying he owes a debt to Korean LGBT indie flicks that precede him. "I don't really believe that I was particularly confronting a taboo or whether I attained the title of having broken down barriers with this film," he argues, perhaps modestly. "I was able to make this film [on the back of those films], and hopefully on the back of this film, in turn subsequent movies dealing with the subject matter could be made."
'I'm not an auteur'
One can't help but feel these directors would be standing on the shoulders of a giant. Park's films -- twice honored at Cannes -- have achieved a cult status to the point where, like fellow genre-hopper Quentin Tarantino, he can be self-referential. In "The Handmaiden" we're even given a tongue-in-cheek reference to that scene in "Oldboy" -- arguably the most notorious, and certainly talked about, to ever come out of Korean cinema.
Like Tarantino or Alfred Hitchcock (whose "Vertigo" inspired a young Park), a Park Chan-wook film is easily recognizable. So why does he resist the title of auteur?
VALERY HACHE/Getty
"When you think of the original definition of auteur, it is one who has a consistent body of work, or someone who creates a unified impression," he argues. "You could also say such an auteur would use a specific and particular way of expression.
"The auteur is repeating the world that the auteur is creating... I don't necessarily think that I fit in within that definition when it comes to the notion of consistency or repetition."
But what of the Vengeance Trilogy ("Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance", "Oldboy" and "Lady Vengeance")? There's a clear line between those three films at least. Park's brow furrows, then he smiles.
"It is me who called that series of films the Vengeance Trilogy," he concedes. "So even if I don't like the label auteur, I take responsibility for it!"
"The Handmaiden," released in South Korea, opens in the US on October 21 and the UK on February 17.

State appeals court upholds judge's order barring reports on juvenile records
MINNESOTA — The Minnesota Court of Appeals in St. Paul ruled in early November that a trial judge was correct in restricting journalists from reporting the juvenile records and names of three girls who were allegedly molested by an employee of a state youth ranch for troubled teen-agers.
Prior to trial, Mower County Judge James Mork said he would permit the defense to cross-examine the girls about their prior juvenile records in a closed courtroom. The media objected and a hearing was set for the next day.
Mark Anfinson, representing the Austin Daily Herald and the Post Bulletin Co., agreed not to publish the names of the victims, but balked at not printing their juvenile records. The next day Mork rescinded the exclusionary order, permitting reporters, but not the public, to attend the proceedings but not to publish information about the victims' criminal records. The next day Anfinson asked the appeals court to strike down the restraint on publishing the information about the criminal records.
In upholding Mork's order, Chief Judge Paul Anderson said it did not constitute a prior restraint because the media were free to report what they already knew about the victims' background or information they might get from other sources in the future. However, Anderson said the court was troubled by the selective nature of permitted access. "By permitting some reporting while prohibiting other reporting, the trial court in effect parcels out news to the press and the public," the opinion said.
Anfinson said he plans to appeal the ruling.

When you're working at a grassroots level, it is often difficult to see progress being made. Being so close to the ground makes it difficult to see what is happening overhead. But this week, it became clear that this movement is working.
On Tuesday we arrived to Chris Christie's event five minutes late. We snuck in the back, standing between the line of reporters and the crowds of people there to see the Governor speak. Standing next to the reporters, it was easy to see the movement of cameras, the note taking, and the general hub around a presidential candidate. But after an hour of the typical town hall questions about social security, national security and securing our borders, the typing became less furious. Reporters started zoning in and out, checking their Twitters and responding to e-mails.
"What specific reforms will you advance to end the corrupting influence of money in politics?"
The reporters lit up, several even jumping onto their chairs to take videos. The increase in activity was remarkable, clearly signaling that this was an issue that they wanted to hear about; this was an issue that they wanted to report on.
It may only be a small victory, but things like this seem to be happening all around us. More and more media outlets in New Hampshire and throughout the country are writing about this issue; Hillary Clinton even started including it in her stump speech this week. And at an event in Conway on Tuesday, John Kasich stated that he looked forward to receiving suggestions from NH Rebellion about a campaign finance reform policy.
Our momentum is clearly building, and that is why we need your help. We need your help to go out to candidate events and ask them more questions. We want to make sure that we know exactly what they would do as President regarding this issue. Go to questionr.us to see upcoming events and find out what questions still need to be asked.
The media is paying attention, now we just need to make sure that they get an answer to their questions.

How Healthy Is the Cai Fan Diet?
Top image: Marisse Caine / RICE File Photo
These days, it seems like everyone I know is a dietary expert: from the 19-year-old vegan on Instagram to my mom, who sends me daily Youtube videos in our family group chat.
This rise in the number of global health experts corresponds with a growing number of fads preaching virulent strains of diet-as-religion. This all-or-nothing approach, where people are encouraged to do a complete 180 degree lifestyle change is not only impractical, but also counterproductive.
Contemporary food movements that demand total commitment also fail to take into account the realities the average family faces—like budgetary constraints. On top of this, planning a balanced and nutritious meal takes time, a luxury most working families simply can't afford.
While health is determined by a host of factors such as genetics, smoking, and lack of exercise, diet plays a huge role as well. Poor dietary habits can lead to various health issues like heart disease, hypertension and high cholesterol. According to the latest National Health Survey, 1 in 2 Singaporean adults has borderline-high to high blood cholesterol, increasing their risk of coronary heart disease.
Clearly, promoting heart health remains a priority in Singapore, as the risks of cardiovascular diseases such as stroke or heart attacks become more acute as we grow older, and further exacerbated by the foods we eat. Obesity in Singapore is a mere symptom of our overconsumption of processed carbs and foods that contain high amounts of saturated fats, like deep fried foods and red meat.
And as our economy heads into a protracted downturn, Singaporeans are increasingly looking for affordable and healthy dietary options to avoid these long term health hazards, diets that are actually compatible with their time-crunched lifestyles.
Cai Fan Is the Ultimate Working Class Meal
In this climate, cai fan, or economic rice, is having a moment as one of the more affordable and versatile meal options in Singapore.
Cai fan, and its Malay equivalent nasi padang, is the great equalizer. A one meat, two veg meal will set you back S$3.00-S$3.50—great value for the office worker on a budget and the broke university student. While it hasn't been immune to inflation, the price point remains accessible to the majority of Singaporeans.
But for the time-scarce Singaporean, is it possible to survive on a cai fan alone? And if so, is it a good idea for our bodies?
I asked Fiona Chia, Managing Director and Founder of Health Can Be Fun, a public health consultancy that conducts talks on diet and nutrition. Fiona also served as a personal nutritionist for celebrities such as Taiwanese singer Angela Chang.
Faced with my endless questions on cai fan, Fiona had a surprising answer:
"Actually, the one meat, two veg option at cai fan stalls is one of the healthier meals you can get at a hawker centre," says Fiona. "But I think Singaporeans should be more selective about the stall they eat at and the types of dishes they choose."
For a healthier cai fan, Fiona looks for stalls with good hygiene and food that's well lit under strong heat lamps. She also asks the owners whether they prepare their produce fresh every morning, as opposed to buying vegetables pre-cut. Unlike frozen veggies, which retain most of their nutritional value, pre-cut vegetables lose most of their nutrients before they make it to our plates.
As for sweet and sour fish vs. pork in mala sauce, what you choose to eat is less important than eating the right portion of carbs, protein, and vegetables.
"Ideally, you'd want to avoid the deep-fried foods, which if we overindulge, can lead to long term issues like high blood cholesterol and coronary heart disease," Fiona explains. "My personal choice for a balanced cai fan meal would be a lean chicken or fish, at least one leafy green vegetable, and one other non-meat side. I'd also reduce the serving of rice."
According to Fiona, the standard helping of white rice served at most cai fan stalls is at least 25% more than most people need. For a physically active person, the normal portion would be okay. But for the sedentary office worker, jia fan (add rice) is not a friend to our waistlines.
Improving the Singaporean Diet
Cai fan is perhaps emblematic of a bigger issue: the Singaporean overconsumption of cheap processed carbs like rice and noodles, leading to a lack of dietary fiber and other associated health risks, including weight gain and its associated heart and high cholesterol risks.
"Part of my work with our clients is helping them navigate between the foods they eat and human psychology," says Fiona.
Based on the past eight years of client work, Fiona has become more skeptical of the conventional wisdom like 'eat less to lose weight' or 'eat more vegetables to stay healthy.'
"That advice is technically correct, but it ignores how human beings behave," she explains. "If eating less causes us to binge eat in the long run, that's counterproductive. Same goes for forcing ourselves to eat vegetables we hate."
She recounts a story of a client who for years, tried to scale back the amount of food he ate, which always ended up backfiring, leading to periods of overeating. His obesity has led to other health issues including increased risk for heart disease, hypertension and an elevated blood cholesterol level due to the overconsumption of unhealthy fats that are most commonly found in fried foods.
To correct for this behaviour, Fiona simply requested that he drink 2-3 liters of water daily, and changed the portion of carbs, protein and vegetables he ate—without reducing the overall amount of food. This small tweak led him to lose 9 kilograms within three months. More importantly, it was a diet plan that he enjoyed and could stick to.
When I rattled off a list of sweets and junk food, Fiona was surprisingly relaxed about indulging in moderation. As the name of her firm Health Can Be Fun suggests, taking pleasure in the foods we eat and adopting a healthy attitude toward food can be a positive driving force to better eating habits.
MARIGOLD HL Milk with Plant Sterols can be taken alone, or with your morning coffee.
The Best Diet Is the One You Can Stick To
According to Fiona, a balanced Singaporean meal should consist of the following:
1. A quarter plate of carbs (up the amount of carbs for those who are physically active)
2. A quarter plate of protein
3. Half a plate of veggies
4. Choice of dairy or probiotic
Finally, drink 2-3 liters of water daily and avoid deep-fried foods which contain unhealthy fats and highly processed foods like instant noodles, both of which lead to long term health problems like heart issues and high blood cholesterol.
Beyond this, Singaporeans can also consider adding plant sterols to foods that they already consume. Plant sterols have been proven to lower blood cholesterol by blocking the absorption of bad cholesterol into the bloodstream. Foods that are rich in plant sterols include vegetables like broccoli and corn, and nuts like almonds, pistachios and pecans. However, the amount naturally present in food is too low to meet our daily needs.
Medical professionals suggest that it is beneficial to consume 1-3 grams of plant sterols daily.
Australians put plant sterols in butter and margarine, which studies have shown can help to lower blood cholesterol. Contrary to popular belief, eating foods that contain dietary cholesterol like eggs or drinking low-fat dairy doesn't impact our blood cholesterol, which is dependent on the saturated and trans-fats we consume.
For Singaporeans who already have the habit of drinking milk, the plant sterols that are contained in MARIGOLD HL Milk with Plant Sterols have been shown to lower blood cholesterol.
Given the constraints on Singaporean families in this recession (time and money), small adjustments like these are more sustainable than huge lifestyle changes and all-or-nothing dietary fads.
Instead of eating less, change the proportion of food you eat, and incorporate healthier alternatives to things you already consume. This will go a long way to staving off long term health problems.

Now, Now, formerly known as Now, Now Every Children, is an American indie rock duo formed in Blaine, Minnesota, United States, and based in Minneapolis. The band is composed of Cacie Dalager (vocals, guitar, keyboard) and Bradley Hale (drums, backing vocals).

History

Formation
The band was formed in roughly 2003. Classmates Cacie Dalager and Bradley Hale met in their high school marching band when they were both sixteen years old; they eventually started writing songs together, starting with an acoustic song dedicated to a college-bound friend. The band's name, according to Dalager, was an in-joke resulting from a typo in an online chat. The band considered using the name for an EP title, but it stuck as the band name when they officially started the project. Dalager and Hale were joined by Brad's sister Britty on keyboards, and school friend Justin Schweim on bass for the recording of their first EP and their first few shows in the Minneapolis area. Shortly before the band began recording their first album, Schweim left their live setup, and Christine Sako stepped in. Jess Abbott joined the band in Summer 2009 after moving from Maine to Minnesota, initially just for the summer until she left for college, however she became a permanent member shortly after. In 2017, after a new musical release, it was announced that Jess Abbott had left the band.

Cars (2007–2009)
In 2007, Now, Now signed to local Minneapolis-based indie record label Afternoon Records, founded by friend Ian Anderson. The band recorded and released two EPs on the label in early 2008, titled Not One, But Two and In The City. In September 2008, the band opened for Mates of State in Minneapolis, a performance that Dalager then regarded as "easily my favorite show we have ever played." Anderson produced their full-length debut album Cars, released digitally on February 27, 2009 and on CD on July 9, 2009. Its release was accompanied by an album release show on December 12 at Minneapolis venue 7th Street Entry. The band played The Bamboozle festival on May 3, 2009 and supported Paramore on tour across Europe in December 2009.

Label changes and Neighbors (2010–2011)
After about three years at Afternoon Records, Now, Now left the label, which they announced on their official blog on April 16, 2010. Since then, the band has shortened their name from "Now, Now Every Children" to simply "Now, Now". Of the name change, Dalager explained to SPIN: "We felt like we needed to disconnect ourselves from any childish image we had. It was a way of starting over and simplifying things for us."  Under their new name, they self-produced an EP titled Neighbors, which was digitally released on September 7, 2010 for 24 hours. There were also 140 physical copies of the EP made, which sold out within 8 minutes of going on sale. The album was re-released on December 7 via No Sleep Records. The band performed at the first Popsickle Festival, presented by Motion City Soundtrack, at First Avenue on December 18, 2010.

Now, Now began 2011 as a support act on all dates of Hellogoodbye's winter tour, along with Jukebox the Ghost, You, Me, and Everyone We Know and Gold Motel. The band was also scheduled to be one of the support acts for Fake Problems on their Spring 2011 tour, but pulled out to prepare new material for their next full-length record and to "clear [their] heads after so many straight months of touring"; they still performed on the Minnesota date. On May 3, 2011, Now, Now released a collection of remixes of the Neighbors tracks, called Neighbors: The Remixes. In the same announcement, it was confirmed that the band would be recording their second full-length album shortly thereafter, produced by Howard Redekopp.

The band gained some mainstream exposure when their song "Neighbors" appeared in an episode of Grey's Anatomy ("It's a Long Way Back"), which aired on April 28, 2011. In fall 2011, Now, Now performed a short tour supporting All Get Out, with an additional 2 dates supporting Mansions.

Threads (2012–2013)
On December 8, 2011, it was announced via their Facebook page that they had signed to Chris Walla's Trans Record Label - an imprint of Atlantic Records, and that their second album Threads would be released on March 6, 2012.

Since the release of Threads, Now, Now have been an opening act for The Naked And Famous' US Spring Tour, and joined fun. on their Summer US tour in May 2012. In September 2012, they embarked on a 7 date run of the UK, in support of the UK release of Threads, and are supporting Motion City Soundtrack on most of their UK and US tour dates.
In October 2012, Now, Now was featured in an international TV commercial for Microsoft Windows 8.  The commercial included footage of the band members performing Dead Oaks.

Now, Now made their television debut on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on November 7, 2012, performing "Thread".

In early 2013 Now, Now joined To Write Love on Her Arms's Heavy and Light US tour.

Delays and Saved (2014–Present)
In 2014, the band announced that they were in the process of writing a new record.

2015 saw no new touring or new releases for Now, Now, but the band continued to interact with fans through social media, maintaining that the new record was still being written. They were announced to appear at both the 2016 and 2017 editions of the SXSW festival, however in both instances they withdrew without commenting on the scheduled appearances.

On May 8, 2017 the band deleted all previous content from their Twitter and Facebook page and posted a short teaser video. No comments were provided with the video. Furthermore, the band's new homepage nownowmusic.com was opened. The following day an eight-date US Summer tour was announced - their first since 2013.

On May 11, 2017 the band released a new single, "SGL." It was also announced that Jess Abbott amicably parted ways with the band.

The band released another single, "Yours," on September 15, 2017. They had posted a number of teaser videos to their social media accounts in advance of the release and premiered the song September 14 on The Fader.

The band released a third single, "AZ," on March 1, 2018, along with announcing the title of their new album Saved, set for a May 18 release date.

On May 2, 2018, the band released a fourth and final single, "MJ."

On April 9, 2019, the band released their first single of 2019 called "Enda"

Published by Knopf in English, and by Companhia das Letras in Portuguese.
Nearly a year ago I commented on some of the topics in this book by Dr. Sacks, who is a doctor specialising in neurology and psychiatry, and now also a best-selling author. The first realisation is that people have very different perceptions of music – what comes through to me is not the same as what comes through to you, even if we are hearing the same thing. In my brain, the amount allocated to processing auditory perception may be different from yours, past listening experiences may have built up different standards in my consciousness, and my hearing may be linked with my other senses and emotions in a different way. Dr. Sacks has brought together stories of patients from his own clinical practice, plus reports of colleagues, plus quotes from the literature, all to illustrate how people may react to music, how music may be present in the mind, and how it may influence behaviour. Unfortunately, this is done almost entirely as a narrative, without a summary or the drawing of conclusions. Nevertheless, some nuggets of interpretation are in there, and I have tried to draw them out.
This is probably unacceptable from the point of view of the science of medicine. Unlike the physical sciences, where you can experiment until you are confident you have an explanation for the way things work, in this area you have to rely on studying unfortunate cases of persons who through accident or illness have lost part of their normal brain functions. So the basis of experience is small, and all sorts of other factors about the person – previous training, age, environment – may influence what happens. For every tentative conclusion, some other researcher may come up with a contrary experience, or new research may shed light on it. So with due qualification, here are some interesting insights about music and the brain.
Some people, usually those advanced in years and whose normal hearing is failing, may suddenly begin to hear music very clearly, as if someone has turned on a radio nearby. But investigation proves there is no source nearby, and nobody else can hear it! The "music" may be loud, repetitive, and often goes right back to songs heard long ago… the person may be able to control the "playing" partially, or else simply has to put up with it. There is a possible explanation for this in the understanding that the transmission of sound between the ear and the brain is in fact two-way! In normal hearing, the vibrations of the eardrum are transmitted to the cochlea – which has inside it some 3500 hair cells which turn vibrations into electrical impulses which interact with the brain. The mapping of these hair cells to the brain cortex is not fixed – it can be altered by training and use (professional musicians have a larger part of the cortex used for this function). Sound is thus transmitted to the brain, and this is the process which usually dominates. However, a part of the flow between brain and cochlea is in the reverse direction – the brain sends signals to the cochlea. Some of the hair cells are thus used for filtering the sound, and selecting what we perceive. This is why we can pick up someone speaking softly when there is a lot of background noise (particularly useful in Carioca restaurants!) and block out things like traffic noise or the hum of a refrigerator.
In the case of musical hallucinations, it seems that as deafness lessens the flow of impulses to the brain, the reverse flow becomes predominant, and starts sending stored musical memories back to the eardrum, where they play like an external source. There are some distinguished sufferers from such hallucinations – Schumann, Shostakovic and Ravel, for instance, towards the end of their lives.
Where is our musical experience stored?
If we regard hearing music as a complex appreciation of pitch and rhythm, then the two are processed and stored in different parts of the brain: the sense of pitch (which includes the tone scale, melody, timbre, harmony) is processed in the right hemisphere of the cortex which deals with perceptions – like sight and touch and so on. Rhythm, though, appears to be dealt with in the left hemisphere and in many other parts of the brain too, including some which control very basic body processes. The left hemisphere deals with logical thinking and language, and tends to become dominant over the right. (These are generalisations which work for the majority of people).
There are some interesting cases when the left hemisphere is damaged or doesn't develop normally in childhood. Such people, seriously deficient in "normal" abilities, may develop a prodigious capacity to perceive and remember music – qualities of a savant. A musical environment is essential to this development, otherwise the interruption of the learning and dominance of the left hemisphere just stays as a deficiency.
There is evidence too for the re-allocation of functions of the right hemisphere when one of the senses is inhibited in childhood – the case of blind musicians. Blind children may have the third of the cortex normally used for vision re-mapped to other senses, such as audition and touch. Viz Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles…..
It seems that human beings are unique among species in having an intimate link in the brain between the hearing and motor systems. We can beat in time to something with a pulse – but other animals can't follow someone else's rhythm. (Apparently coyotes and bottlenose dolphins, no less, have the beginnings of this ability). But for us, it's very important. Every culture has a form of music with a regular rhythm, a pulse, which permits coordination between participants and evokes a feeling of belonging to a group. We can absorb rhythmic patterns and establish internal norms with great precision and stability. (Interestingly enough, what rhythms we are exposed to when young seems to set our preferences and even abilities for life). Music can join people in a social activity forged by their common reaction to rhythm, and common emotions may follow. This may favour cooperation and a sense of group identity….. pop concert anyone? And watch out for Obama's use of rhythmic speech patterns!
Music becomes so deep-seated in our mind that it may provide a lasting link to normality even when disease impedes the functioning of some parts of the brain. Sufferers from Alzheimer's disease progressively lose memory, speech, and the ability to manage themselves. However, the response to music is preserved, even in advanced cases…. the person may be able to perform music, reproducing the past, while the act of listening to music re-awakens the perceptions, in an effect which may last for some hours. For such people music is not a luxury, as we so often treat it – to those lost in dementia it can bring them back to themselves and to others, at least for a time.
So….. be aware of what music can do to you and for you – and Good Listening!

Agents Customer Experience Innovation Property Management Proptech Startups Technology
Innovation versus Legislation: is proptech also disrupting government?
| Kylie Davis | May 23, 2019 |
AIAIREArtificial intelligencedisruptionLet's RentManagedappNSW Fair TradingREINSWSnug
I was delighted to moderate the Innovation versus Legislation panel at the recent REINSW Proptech Lunch. It was a great discussion that covered a range of challenging topics. Buckle in for this. It's a decent read.
Greater collaboration between legislators, innovators and real estate is required to create a transparent regulatory framework that both protects consumers and helps the industry embrace new efficiencies through technology.
That was one of the key lessons from the second Future of Proptech lunch held by the REINSW last week where it was revealed real estate agents may carry a legal risk when they adopt some of the more disruptive technologies.
On the panel was Sarah Bell from AIRE, which delivers AI to the residential real estate industry, Thom Richards from property management software app Managed which negates the need for trust accounting and Justin Butterworth from leasing platform Snug. Representing NSW Fair Trading was Bjorn Borg, while Lisa Indge from Let's Rent provided the view of real estate agents.
Key revelations that came out of the panel discussion
Advice from NSW Fair Trading that legislative change typically takes five years, while regulatory changes can take two to three.
The lack of engagement and accessibility of regulators risks stifling innovation and preventing Australian proptech disruptors from being internationally competitive.
Proptech innovators may be best taking a 'forgiveness not permission' approach rather than waiting for government. Accordingly, they should structure the risks and costs of educating the market.
The audience was told that more than $US 20b is expected to be invested in proptech globally in 2019, representing growth of over 9000% since 2012. Internationally the growth of proptech is occurring faster and with greater momentum than fintech.
State based rather than national legislation
Unlike fintech however, which is regulated in Australia by national legislation through ASIC, proptech must contend with different legislation across each state, providing additional challenges for local startups.
This was occurring at a time when dissatisfaction with real estate agents and the disjointed and fraught process of buying, selling and renting property was growing.
When you pick up your phone to use Uber, Airbnb, or Uber Eats, the process is instantaneous. But when you try to buy a house or rent, it's like 1984 called and they want their process back, and suddenly you're back to handling paper and waiting for phone calls to be returned.
The legislation that we've got at the moment while looking to protect consumers is failing to deliver good service experiences, while the agents who do want to adopt these technologies are between a rock and a hard place.
Collaborative approach to legislation needed
The panel heard that overseas governments were starting to collaborate with innovators to create a new approach to legislation that set out frameworks to guide desired behaviour.
"It's the role of technology and innovation to push the boundaries, while legislation has typically reacted," said Sarah.
"Legislation needs to come in at the design stage – at concept. The European Union has published guidelines for the ethical development of AI, and I don't think they're unreasonable. They embrace the hope that exists with new technology, and I think they're the best practise guidelines in development that all governments should be adopting."
The speed of innovation meant governments that wanted to create reactive legislation were being left behind.
"Since the Second World War, we've been running on Moore's Theory that the speed of innovation would double every two years," Sarah said. "But you apply the connectivity of AI with network theory, which is just enabling way that we're using technology, and the result is exponentially speeded-up change. It's impossible to leave it to reaction now."
Regulators won't endorse technology
But director of NSW Fair Trading Bjorn Borg said it was not the role of regulators to 'approve' or endorse new technology, but to protect consumers and make sure there was legal redress when things went wrong.
He conceded regulators need to improve their engagement with innovators but said innovators could help regulators get up to speed more quickly by identifying the changes needed to be made that accommodated multiple market players, not just themselves.
"We need as much background as possible, not just on what the product does, but the problem it is solving together and any international trends that show how it was playing out in other jurisdictions and economies," Bjorn said.
"Without that clarity, regulators are going out there trying to find that out for ourselves, but we're not the experts in this particular field. That's where you then get even longer delays."
Legislation is stifling innovation
Justin Butterworth from Snug said the current approach from regulators was stifling innovation and making Australian technology uncompetitive internationally.
"Here we are, two years down the track in my space of digital bonds without having effective conversation, without bringing about innovation to the market, without having learned the insights from consumers, regulators, and we'd like to see that change," Justin said.
"Just two weeks ago, the other startup in this space internationally raised $40 million at a $300 million plus valuation because they have not faced the same restraints. It's not acceptable to be two years down the track with the inability to meet and to discuss to progress innovation in this country."
Adopt new tech in stages to manage risk
The panel identified that adopting new technology did not have to be an 'either/or' proposition, but could be done incrementally. For example, by identifying a small group of existing clients that you could receive informed consent from to trial new technology.
"We'd love to see a framework which is around process and timeliness for engaging with regulators, so it's clear on what basis consumer choice and consumer protection will be measured," said Justin.
"We need to create a safe harbour for the innovators in the industry to test and learn. We don't have to make a fully-committed long-term decision, but, "Hey, why don't we try (this) in Sydney, with REI's chief members who are best-practise experts," by saying, "Hey, let's put digital bonds into Lisa's portfolio and see how they perform."
Lisa Idge from Let's Rent said her office had made the decision to use digital signatures on leases, despite the grey area which meant only physically witnessed signatures were compliant.
"The advantages and convenience of the technology were so evident, that we made the decision to go ahead," Lisa said. "But we did it in a structured way. We only used it with existing tenants that we already had a relationship with and who were good quality tenants. And we had the permission of the landlord and the tenants. Happily it worked out."
Challenges to trust accounting
Let's Rent have also been an early adopter of Managed, a property management platform that does not require a trust account. In NSW, the legislation only requires a trust account to be in place if an agent is holding monies in trust. As Managed sends funds directly from tenant to landlord, it circumvents the need for a trust.
"The legislation isn't against us in the way we work – so for us, it's not so much a regulatory challenge but an education challenge," said Thom. "My major issue with a lot of the states is they've all got different regulatory bodies. I've got to go and educate each state, which then have to educate their agencies that work for them.
"For me, it's more about support around education and helping people understand what's best for their business as opposed to us trying to change legislation, because we're now compliant in every state, and we've had the legal advice to suit."
Legislative change typically takes five years
Bjorn said that while legislation typically took five years to implement, it had advantages because it delivered stability and market certainty, but the statement was met by a horrified gasp from the room.
"A five-year turnaround is completely impractical with the speed of innovation," said Sarah. "You're suggesting that if you drive innovation in this country, if you drive employment and progress and all of those amplified economic benefits, then you will in fact be punished by the regulator. So, it is not a workable way forward."

"One of the principles of good programming and good product development is that we need to be incredibly transparent. There is no reason why that principle of transparency shouldn't be a burden that is imposed upon regulators as well," Sarah said.
"It's impossible to go to a regulator with a proposition for a sense check if there's no transparency or no models or no framework around what makes sense to regulators."
Bjorn said one of the takeaways he had from the day was the need for the department to engage more closely with innovators and the industry.
Wrapping up the day, chief executive of the REINSW, Tim McKibbin, said proptech offered the opportunity to enrich the services delivered by the property services industry.

LGBT Chamber of Commerce celebrate launch of new chapter in Easthampton
Hampshire County
by: Alysha Boynton
EASTHAMPTON, Mass. (WWLP) – Talent is universal, but opportunity is limited. That's what Easthampton Mayor Nicole LaChapelle is trying to change, in partnership with the Massachusetts LGBT Chamber of Commerce.
The chamber celebrated the launch of the western Massachusetts chapter. It's meant to provide safe spaces and help generate opportunity for people in marginalized communities.
Ceremony held at Pearl Harbor Veterans bridge
"It's hard to reach out in an authentic way and say 'Hey, we want to give you something,' or 'We want to now ally with you,' when we have people who have been doing this work for decades," said Mayor LaChapelle. "To expand our footprint and our blueprint out of Easthampton with these amazing organizations, it's really a once in a lifetime opportunity."
The Black Economic Council of Massachusetts and Lawyers for Civil Rights also previewed their plans to open offices in western Massachusetts next year.

BOSTON, Mass. (State House News Service)--Gaming revenues were up across the board last month as Plainridge Park Casino, MGM Springfield and Encore Boston Harbor together generated nearly $100 million in revenue of which about $26.5 million is due to the state, the Gaming Commission reported Tuesday.
Of the $95.65 million in gaming revenue produced in December, Encore Boston Harbor was responsible for having pulled in $62.4 million or just about two-thirds of the statewide total. December now ranks as the second-best month in terms of revenue for the Everett casino that opened in June 2019, trailing only October 2021's $62.8 million haul.

L'hygrophilie est un attrait de type sexuel pour les sécrétions corporelles. Les hygrophiles peuvent consommer ou renifler les secretions.

Il existe plusieurs formes d'hygrophilie en fonction de la sécrétion :
 la nasomycinophilie (sécrétions nasales),
 la dacryphilie (larmes)
 la salirophilie (sueur),
 la coprophilie (matière fécale),
 l'urophilie (urine) avec notamment le phénomène des soupeurs,
 le soupisme dans sa définition alternative (le sperme d'un ou plusieurs inconnus).

L'ouvrage du marquis de Sade, Les Cent Vingt Journées de Sodome (1785), décrit ces pratiques.

Manly, Mosman and S. H. Ervin Galleries present 'Destination Sydney: Re-imagined', a multi-venue exhibition telling the story of nine artists inspired by Sydney's unique landscape.

Three Sydney galleries – Manly Art Gallery & Museum, Mosman Art Gallery, and S. H. Ervin Gallery – have collaborated for the second time in three years by adopting a summer blockbuster, biennale model of a single exhibition presented across multiple venues.
Destination Sydney: Re-imagined (7 December 2018 – 17 March 2019) follows on from the concept's hugely successful inaugural edition, presented in 2015, which attracted over 75,000 visitors.
What ties them together? Simply: Sydney and its enduring capacity to fascinate and unite artists across the history of Australian art.
Collectively, the three galleries will showcase 130 key works by nine significant Australian artists, each of whom was selected because of their personal engagement with Sydney, with the city and its harbour becoming central themes in their work.
Manly Art Gallery & Museum's waterfront location makes it a fitting site for the ocean and harbour views of Adrian Feint; the early 20th century beachscapes of Ethel Carrick Fox, including her famous works of Manly Beach and Balmoral Beach; and the colourful contemporary harbour landscapes of Ken Done.
Mosman Art Gallery's selection of Roy de Maistre, Robert Klippel and Michael Johnson reflects an evolution in the interpretation of landscape and its progression towards abstraction, linked by the use of colour. Johnson grew up in Mosman and his works form part of the Mosman Art Collection.

The S.H. Ervin Gallery's central Sydney location made the selection of Nicholas Harding, Wendy Sharpe and Jeffrey Smart a must, as they all share a fascination with the evolving inner city, although each approaches it in their own distinctive way.
Roberts believes that the collective power of the three galleries has enabled the work of these nine artists to be explored 'in more depth than a single gallery could achieve'.

Curator of the ongoing project, art historian Lou Klepac, said he envisages the Destination Sydney exhibition series as an ongoing consideration, with a third edition already planned.
This year's exhibition has been co-curated by Klepac together with Michael Hedger and Katherine Roberts (Manly), John Cheeseman and Katrina Cashman (Mosman) and Jane Watters (S.H. Ervin Gallery).
Jane Watters, Director, National Trust S.H. Ervin Gallery makes the point that the exhibition, although conceived collectively, is nuanced individually, and described it as a 'unique art event'.
'At S.H. Ervin it seemed logical to embrace our location with three artists who have eschewed the seductive charm of the harbour for the inner city. Jeffrey Smart's paintings of Sydney reveal his growing maturity and discipline as a painter, culminating in the iconic Cahill Expressway with its enigmatic ambiguity and compositional complexities that continue to fascinate today.
'Nicholas Harding has captured Central Station in magnificent fashion, creating a masterpiece to complement Smart's, while Wendy Sharpe's authentic response to the urban environment, coupled with her mastery of colour, bring the three painters together into a bold and compelling visual experience,' said Watters.

Roberts said each of the artists featured at Manly are represented in the gallery's collection.

A similar approach was followed when selecting works for Mosman, Cashman explained: 'The Mosman exhibition is nuanced in that it is really presents a small microcosm of aspects of the Sydney art milieu over three generations, told through the works of the three outstanding, pioneering Australian artists whose each influenced generations of Australian artists in their wake – Roy de Maistre, Robert Klippel and Michael Johnson.
As visitors move between the three galleries, they inevitably have to engage with the city and its harbour.
'It encourages people to think about, and look at, the landscape and urban space between each venue … It offers people the opportunity to immerse themselves in art that is inspired by Sydney,' said Roberts.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a diverse Public Program of free and ticketed events and an extensive colour catalogue which features the works and essays on each of the nine artists. The catalogue is available at Manly, Mosman and S.H. Ervin Galleries.

Gerbil FAQs
How many Gerbils should I keep?
Gerbils are social animals and need the constant company of their own kind. The only exception to this is the Fat-tailed gerbil, as females of this species can be kept alone, and will often fight with other females.
Otherwise, it is always advisable to get a pair of gerbils, either two males or two females. It's true that they can live in larger groups, but unless you have a very big space to keep them in, they're going to be a bit crowded. In general, it's best to keep between two and four gerbils. Also, large groups can become unstable as individuals jostle for a place in the hierarchy, and aggression can sometimes break out - especially if there is not enough space. Most fights are due to dominance, and problems are more likely if you keep females in larger groups.
How many gerbils can you fit in a teapot - or any other gerbil space, for that matter?
You should try to buy gerbils that are already in pairs - siblings, usually - as it can be difficult to introduce two gerbils when they are adults (i.e. around 16 weeks old). Although gerbils are social animals, they are still territorial and will fight 'strange' gerbils who enter their space.
At eight weeks old it is still possible to introduce gerbils to each other. They are still babies and will mix happily with one another. Once they are adults, it may be possible to pair a male with a gerbil pup, but this requires care and constant monitoring for the first 24 hours. For this reason it is best to get your pair of gerbils from the same place, at the same time.

The boy's face went from sheer excitement to deep shame. He tried ever so desperately not to show it, but he was embarrassed. His eyes constantly shifted from his father's face to the ground. He puffed up his chest and broadened his shoulders to look tough enough to take his father's words. But what gave him away were his eyes, which were full of fear. He had the body of a growing man, but beneath it you could see a little boy peeking through. A boy who still needed much encouragement and fun in his life. In that moment, his attention was more on proving himself to his father rather than learning from him.
I understood the father's frustrations. Witnessing your teenage son cause a ruckus in public must not have been comfortable to watch. Though the father tried to subtly calm his children, they ignored their father's words and eventually paid the price. So of course, in that moment, the father angrily corrected his son.
I am an avid believer that a parent should correct and discipline when necessary. However, witnessing this moment fortified a conviction in me that it is all too essential to choose the right moments and the right methods.
One of the difficult aspects of parenting is that you are responsible for your child. I know that sounds obvious, but that very fact is a game-changer. It's sometimes easier to enjoy other people's kids because you can play with them and then walk away. However, with your own kids, you are responsible for cultivating their worldview, their faith in the Lord, their habits, their attitudes, and their ambitions. It's all on you, the parent. There's a lot of pressure in that.
Nevertheless, something precedes this great responsibility to raise our children right. It is the responsibility to love our children well, to be connected with them enough to understand what they really need.
Without a strong connection, our children cannot hear our correction.
However, it's difficult for children to learn how to have healthy connections these days. Back in the day, children would receive affirmation through pats on the shoulders, approving nods, and kind looks. These days, they get it through phone notifications.
On the other end of the spectrum, I also see some parents that overemphasize the need to connect with their children through long, deep meaningful conversations over the dinner table. Although this helps, this is a one-dimensional effort. For example, once I had Moriah (my first) sit in bed with me, and I looked into her eyes and told her that I loved her and was proud of her no matter what. She giggled and said, "Ok, Mommy, can I go play now?" About an hour later, she asked me to play hide-and-seek. I told her that I needed to clean the kitchen. Later, I realized, that was what she needed to feel connected with me. She needed fun. She needed loud. She needed natural.
Sometimes, we need to let our children finish their stories at the dinner table, even if it means they aren't eating their greens. Sometimes, we need to let them have their messy, chaotic fun, even if it's not proper. Sometimes, we need to let them make a bit of noise and fall to the ground in the mall. Because behind these annoying and immature moments, they are actually making deep, meaningful connections with one another and with you. And, these connections are the lifeline that your child will need as he/she walks into the wilderness of adolescence and young adulthood.
If I had any right to give any sort of advice to this father (which I do not) that was at the mall, I would have urged him to just let the boy fall. And when he does, offer your hand to pick him back up. Ask him if he's okay, because that fall looked like it must have hurt pretty badly. Then, when you are away from public attention, you can admonish him to heed your words and encourage him to demonstrate some maturity in public.
I want my kids to learn how to say "thank you" properly. I want them to learn how to stay focused while doing homework. I want them to get their proper nutrition and enjoy it. Oh, and I want them to share with one another, but also respect each other's personal belongings. And, I want them to go to church for Jesus, not for the candy and games.
But, more than anything else, I want them to know that I love them, so that if I must correct them, they will not be afraid to listen.

The Town of Maysville now a part of Presque Isle, once boasted of being its own community and as such has its own history separate from Presque Isle. The presentation focuses on the settling and incorporation of Maysville with particular attention to stories of the Armstrong, Ashby, Chandler, Bean, Allen, Parkhurst and Rolfe families. These families and their stories reflect the growth of Maysville from an unsettled frontier to an established farming community that made contributions to the local area, the state, and the nation.
