This is an important book on nutrition and health. Not only does the research content have enormous and far reaching implications, but also readers will find themselves challenged to adapt their diets in the light of Campbell's findings and recommendations – as he himself has done. Campbell grew up on a farm, convinced that a high intake of meat, dairy and eggs was the ideal healthy diet. Experience and research have proved otherwise. His first research project was in the Philippines, where he was initially concerned to plug the so-called protein gap on the basis that childhood malnutrition was caused by lack of protein. Instead, he found the highest prevalence of liver cancer in the very Filipino children who ate the highest protein diets. Around the same time he noticed a research report from India where two groups of rats were being administered the cancer causing aflatoxin then fed a diet composed of 20% protein. The other group was administered the same amount of aflatoxin but fed a 5% protein diet. Results showed that every single animal on the 20% protein diet had evidence of liver cancer, while every single animal on the 5% protein diet avoided liver cancer. These two studies proved seminal to the future development of Campbell's research career.
The book is divided into four parts: the China Study, Diseases of Affluence, the Good Nutrition Guide and a section entitled Why haven't you heard this before? on science and politics. Campbell describes how he set out to replicate the Indian rat study: "what we found was shocking. Low-protein diets inhibited the initiation of cancer by aflatoxin, regardless of how much of this carcinogen was administered to these animals. After cancer initiation was completed, low-protein diets also dramatically blocked subsequent cancer growth. In other words, the cancer producing effects of this highly carcinogenic chemical were rendered insignificant by a low protein diet. In fact, dietary protein proved to be so powerful in its effect that we could turn on and turn off cancer growth simply by changing the level consumed." He found that low protein intake markedly decreases enzyme activity and prevents dangerous carcinogens binding to DNA. Also that "in these experiments, plant protein did not promote cancer growth, even at the higher levels of intake. Gluten, a protein of wheat, did not produce the same result as casein (milk protein), even when fed at the same 20% level." An important implication of this research is that the level and type of protein intake affects the expression of cancer genes. In other words, even if one has a genetic predisposition to cancer, this research indicates that the plant based diet will help prevent its manifestation.
The next chapter provides details of the China Study itself. It is based on a monumental survey initiated in the 1970s on death rates for 12 different kinds of cancer covering more than 2400 Chinese counties and 880 million (then 96%) of their citizens. Campbell and colleagues were able to follow this with a detailed study of the relationship between diet and disease, resulting in more than 8,000 statistically significant associations between lifestyle, diet and disease variables. Differences between diseases of affluence and diseases of poverty became very clear. He found that death rates from coronary heart disease were 17 times higher among American men than rural Chinese and that the American death rate from breast cancer was five times higher than the rural Chinese rate. The average blood cholesterol level among rural Chinese was around 127mg/dL while the comparable figure in the US is 215mg/dL. Campbell concludes that "lower blood cholesterol levels are linked to lower rates of heart disease, cancer and other Western diseases, even at levels far below those considered safe in the West." He also found that "plant based foods are linked to lower blood cholesterol; animal based foods are linked to higher blood cholesterol. Animal based foods are linked to higher breast cancer rates; plant based foods are linked to lower rates. Fibre and antioxidants from plants are linked to a lower risk of cancers of the digestive tract." As readers can imagine, the Atkins diet is given short shrift.
Part Two considers research into a variety of diseases of affluence and their preconditions: obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancers, autoimmune diseases and various other diseases of bone, kidney, eye and brain. At the beginning of the section he states: "there is no such thing as a special diet for cancer and a different, equally special diet for heart disease. The same diet that is good for the prevention of cancer is also good for the prevention of heart disease, as well as obesity, diabetes, cataracts, macular degeneration, Alzheimer's, cognitive dysfunction, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis and other diseases." The chapter on heart disease explains that the incidence is similar to the 1970s, but survival rates have improved: "we have got slightly better at postponing death from heart disease, but we have done nothing to stop the rate at which our hearts become diseased."
Campbell reports an extraordinary study begun in 1985 by Dr Caldwell Esselstyn Jr. He originally had 23 patients of whom five dropped out within two years. Of the other 18, these people had suffered 49 coronary events in the previous eight years. Esselstyn put his patients and himself on a low-fat plant-based wholefood diet. The average cholesterol level at the start of the study was 246 mg/dL which fell during the study to 132mg/dL. In the following 11 years, there was only one coronary event among these 18 people. This one person had strayed from the diet for two years. Since going back on the diet, he has experienced no further problems. 70% of these patients have seen an opening of their clogged arteries. Equally significantly, the five dropout patients had experienced a further 10 coronary events by 1995. As of 2003, 17 years into the study, all but one of the original 18 patients was still alive.
Part Three sets out Campbell's eight principles of food and health:1. Nutrition represents the combined activities of countless substances. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts;2. Vitamin supplements are not a panacea for good health (they are isolated nutrients);3. There are virtually no nutrients in animal based foods that are not better provided by plants;4. Genes do not determine disease on their own. Genes function only by being activated, or expressed, and nutrition plays a critical role in determining which genes good and bad, are expressed. (biochemical dormancy) (genes as 'seeds');5. Nutrition can substantially control the adverse effects of noxious chemicals;6. The same nutrition that prevents disease in its early stages can also halt or reverse disease in its later stages (disease takes time to develop);7. Nutrition that is truly beneficial for one chronic disease will support health across the board;8. Good nutrition creates health in all areas of our existence. All parts are interconnected. (we have more energy if we eat well – hence more exercise capacity);He then provides advice on how to put these principles into practice, drawing on his own experience and that of others.
Part Four asks why you haven't heard this before? The short answer is that "the entire system – government, science, medicine, industry and media – promotes profits over health, technology over food and confusion over clarity." The first chapter Science – the Dark Side explains how many national bodies are in fact fronts for industry and apparently independent academics are retained by industry interests who also sponsor some of their research.
The next chapter takes on scientific reductionism in nutritional research. It is the mistake of characterising whole foods by the health effects of specific nutrients. Campbell provides a detailed critique of the Nurses' Health Study, which is often cited to show that there is no relationship between diet and breast cancer. However, it is clear that the whole cohort of nurses was consuming a high risk diet centred on animal based foods. Ironically, it turns out that "the low-fat meal contains more than double the protein of the high-fat meal – and mostly from animal based food and high in cholesterol."
The next chapter on government-industry links is highly revealing. As previously noted, industry consultants wear academic hats. Campbell sums up the situation: "I have come to the conclusion that when it comes at a health, government is not for the people; it is for the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry at the expense of the people. Industry provides funding for public health reports, and academic leaders with industry ties play key roles in developing them. A revolving door exists between government jobs and industry jobs, and government research funding goes to the development of drugs and devices instead of healthy nutrition… the system is a waste of taxpayer money and is profoundly damaging to our health." It is a damning and fully justified indictment.
I noticed a few gaps in Campbell's book. Although he refers to an earlier nutritional research, he does not mention the work either of Sir Robert McCarrison or Max Gerson. He could also have made a connection with the research of Sir Albert Howard on the relationship between the health of soil, plant, animal and human being. Nor is it clear whether there is a difference between cow and goat or sheep produce – is all dairy equivalent?
At the end of the book, Campbell summarizes the health problems of the US with a series of alarming figures, most of which are still showing upward trends. This can only mean that health care will continue to become more and more expensive. And yet, as he observes, "we now have a deep and broad range of evidence showing that a whole foods, plant based diet is best for the heart…and all other chronic diseases." He believes that the situation has reached a critical point when people are ready to listen and to change. The vitality of a culture cannot be maintained or expressed in by a sick population. We now have an unprecedented situation where a greater proportion of the world population is overweight than undernourished. This can only produce the nemesis of diseases of nutritional extravagance, which, according to the thesis of this book, is largely preventable. Moreover, the whole food plant based diet recommended by Campbell has a far lower impact on the environment. This is a seminal book that should be read by everyone interested in the future of health – their own included. It should also be required reading in ministries of health and on undergraduate medical curricula.About the ReviewerDavid is a writer, lecturer and editor who is Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network.

Greetings to all you Game Show Nuts!
I was just delighted to be contacted recently by Tom Hornikel through the Internet, who simply identified himself as a Super Pay Cards fan. For those of you who remember the show, I was the co-host of this Nicholson-Muir Production shot at the Montreal television facility, Champlain Productions. Many American producers have come to Canada to make films, television series, and commercials because of the benefits of the $ diffrential and the great tax incentives offered by the Canadian government, and Super Pay Cards was probably the most successful of these ventures in this type of show.
If any of you ever wondered about the female announcer and on-camera co-host, it was a device used by the producers to insure that the show could be aired in Canada as a Canadian content program. There are restrictions outlined by a government regulatory body that establish the criteria for Canadian content, and in the case of Super Pay Cards, they all boiled down to a Canadian woman in an equal role to the featured host, Art James. Nick Nicholson and Roger Muir knew Art from previous associations and were confident that his participation would guarantee them a sale of this new show in the States, where it did play across America on the Metromedia syndicate. In the American version, my role as the announcer, and I introduced the contestants to Art and the audience on camera. The Canadian show ran with less commercial time, so to make that up, the producers gave that portion to me as the host of an audience participation section. That element of the show was quite unique, as the contestants were not screened and you never knew what would happen!
For those of you who have actually been on a game show, you know what kind of screening process goes into choosing the people who get to be involved. In the case of Super Pay Cards, Nick and Roger would personally make the final choices, and it was always interesting to see who would get to the final draft. If someone was really confident, joking around and making much of themselves, for example, they wouldn't get very far because the producers knew that that kind of person would probably 'dry up' in front of the camera. I don't recall the ratio of 'wannabes' to the number that got to play, but there were always many more people on the 'reject' list than the ones who made it on the show.
I remember auditioning for the show............I had been working in Montreal as a radio host and commercial actress and had been featured in various things made by Champlain Productions. One of the fun things they had done was a remake of 'What's My Line', and I had been a rehearsal panelist........in other words, the guests needed a dry run of the show so they would know what to expect from the celebrity panel and I, along with some other Montreal media personalities filled in for the real stars. So when the Super Pay Cards audition came up, I was on the list of people to be seen. When I got there, I saw a 'bevy of beauties', tall leggy models, each one better looking than the next, and I figured, this will be one of life's little experiences, but this casting doesn't look likely to me! Well, wouldn't you know it, but the producers told me that I looked just fine, nice and friendly, and I read better than anyone else!
So I got the job, and then they had to dress me up! (Much of my professional life has been getting paid to play 'dress up'......) I got to go with the production coordinator to the Shmata (Garment) District in Montreal, which happens to be a really good one with many international designers manufacturing their wares in the East End. Typical of this type of show, a designer or manufacturer will provide the talent wardrobe for a credit, which is pretty good advertising for them, as their name comes up at the end of every program, and in the case of Super Pay Cards, it played in syndication, at least across Canada, on and off for 13 years! Nothing like Canadian content! So, there I was in this huge warehouse of dresses, and we had to choose things for 130 shows! I think I may have worn some things twice, but that's a lot of dresses. And shoes.........well, I had to use my own, but it was a good excuse to have a fabulous pair in every colour and of course, at least three inches high! You have to know how to walk in them, but if you do, they make your legs look great!
The first weekend of shooting , they scheduled 10 shows........6 on the first day and 4 on the second. Since I had never done any such thing before, I went to the producers and asked for some guidelines about how to deliver my material. The off-camera stuff was easy.......I have a pretty low voice 'for a girl', and I'd heard those guys on the other big game shows, so I did that kind of singing crescendo thing that they do when they say the name of the host........I'm sure you'll all get to do that when you play the announcer!
But introducing the contestants was a bit tricky........I was to be on-camera standing between two people with Art on the side and the camera in front of all of us. The producers told us to be natural.......talk to Art and look at the contestants, and they gave me a little script to introduce each person. I quickly realized that the only way to ' look natural' on camera was to memorize every word I said beforehand and to ' act natural'. As far as talking to Art and/or the contestants, all you saw was the side of my face or the top of my head!
And when I asked the producers what they thought of me after the first day, they said that I looked a little nervous, but would get it in time.
Luckily, I had done a fair bit of television as an actress by that point, and I knew to ask to see the tapes of what we already shot. So, the next morning I studied them furiously and saw.........the side of my face and the top of my head! Well, as we taped the next shows that afternoon, I made a point of delivering all my lines straight to the camera......in other words, directly to the 'at home' audience and made gestures with my hands toward Art and the players on either side of me. When I asked the producers that day about my performance, I was told that I looked much more confident and that it was just a matter of time! I learned right then and there that if you win a television job, the producers forget that they saw your potential and instead figure that you already know what you're doing. In all my years in television and radio as a media host, I have experienced this same phenomenon many times. It's very rare that you actually get direction. So my recommendation to you in your host hat is to wave your hands around a la Vanna White and talk straight to the camera........you're sure to look competent!
How about what it's like to be a game show host? For one thing, there have been very few, almost no women in that role, so I feel like something of a pioneer. True, I did not have the profile on that show that Art did, and for many reasons, that was appropriate..........he's much, much older , he had a lot of experience and did a fabulous job, and he's a guy!
But in the long run of my life, being involved with Super Pay Cards was a wonderful experience. I met sone terrific people and became somewhat of a celebrity in Canada which was, for the most part, a lot of fun.......I got recognized all over the country in some very funny situations, primarily because of my voice!
But, as Tom now knows, I am now living in Los Angeles and still making my living........'hollering my head off and playing dress-up'. I think I am the only person who came to Los Angeles and became an opera singer! Yes, that's my life now.
Wish me luck as I do all of you!

Stuttgart. Only one in every ten Germans purchases their clothing primarily on the Internet. This is the result of a recent representative consumer analysis. The management consulting company Porsche Consulting GmbH commissioned a survey by the Forsa research institute of 1,000 women and men aged 18 or older. Although greater numbers of customers are ordering products online, local retail shops and branch outlets in the clothing sector may continue to expect their regular customers to remain loyal. Ninety percent of the respondents purchase their clothing and shoes either "exclusively" (49%) or "predominately" (41%) at actual shops instead of at the computer.
Porsche Consulting found that customers who purchase their clothing in-store are clearly much more satisfied than those who order it online. Only nine percent of in-store customers "sometimes" regret a clothing purchase. And only one percent are "frequently" annoyed about unfortunate purchases. By contrast, 40 percent of Internet customers either regret some of their orders or send them back right after receipt. Online clothing stores are flooded with product returns or exchange requests. Return rates of more than 20 percent are not infrequent. Women are more often dissatisfied with their online purchases than men: 48 percent regret the results of their online shopping "frequently" or at least "sometimes." But only 32 percent of the men would prefer not to have made some of their orders.
Buying apparel is a delicate matter: Nine out of ten respondents want to examine shoes and clothing, try them on, and have them immediately after paying for them. This is only possible at physical shops. But here too there are significant differences. Customers clearly prefer shops that always carry products of the right sizes and preferred colors, or can promptly order them.
Classic shops can also score points with individualized expert sales advice. If a shop does not have a pair of shoes in the right size, for example, two out of three respondents (67%) would like to be told whether and how quickly it can be ordered. Ideally the shop should have well trained sales personnel who can order the product immediately – or recommend a suitable alternative. Assistance from sales personnel is especially well received by 76 percent of respondents aged 60 or older.
Senior citizens also have high expectations with respect to service in general. If sleeves are too long or trousers need to be modified, a good half (52%) of the over-60 age group would use a tailoring service right there at the shop. Loyalty programs, special offers for regular customers, and customer discount cards are also viewed positively, with 51 percent of women and 41 percent of men welcoming these types of satisfaction enhancement programs.
For example, at the beginning of the season not all goods need to be distributed to the individual branch outlets of a chain store. Instead some of them can be retained at a central location for rapid and flexible subsequent distribution. This eliminates high costs for decentralized warehousing at multiple different sales points. It also eliminates the need for stores to send goods among themselves. Specialists at Porsche Consulting estimate that this area alone carries a savings potential of 30 percent.
Using methods that have proven successful in the automobile industry, Porsche's experts have already been able to produce measureable results for retail companies. For one retail chain, for example, the percentage of non-available products was reduced by as much as 50 percent. At the same time, its personnel was relieved of duties not related to advising customers, in order to have more time for that purpose. This significantly raised the percentage of people who found items to buy after entering the stores. The purchasing rate increased by one to two percent, and the customers spent up to six percent more.
Porsche Consulting GmbH headquartered in Bietigheim-Bissingen is a subsidiary of the Stuttgart-based sports car manufacturer Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG. Founded in 1994 with a staff of four, it currently – in its 20th year – employs around 370 people. An internationally active company with four subsidiaries of its own located in Milan (Italy), São Paulo (Brazil), Atlanta (USA), and Shanghai (China), Porsche Consulting is one of Germany's leading management consulting companies. Its experts in operational excellence advise corporations and medium-sized companies worldwide in the automotive, aviation and aerospace, and mechanical and plant engineering industries.

Baltimore Symphony musician makes harrassment complaint against concertmaster
BSO principal oboist Katherine Needleman has made allegations of 'daily hostility' and 'physical intimidation' after rejecting Jonathan Carney's advances

A member of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra has filed a sexual harrassment complaint against the organisation with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Katherine Needleman, who has been principal oboist with the orchestra for the last 15 years, claims that concertmaster Jonathan Carney propositioned her for sex in 2005, and that, ever since she rejected him, has engaged in a deliberately offensive pattern of behaviour: 'daily hostility and efforts to undermine [my] work and authority,' she told the Washington Post, 'combined with physical intimidation and threats.'
Needleman complained to the BSO after the 2005 incident, and again this year, when the organisation hired an outside firm to investigate. 'The report indicated that there has not been a hostile work environment,' Peter T. Kjome, the orchestra's president and chief executive, told the Washington Post, 'We take very seriously the allegations and are carefully reviewing the actions recommended in the report.'
'I seek nothing from my charge besides the restoration of a safe and professional working environment and a new level of respect and accountability from the management and board of the BSO,' Needleman wrote in a social media post which began with the words 'Today, I finally named my harasser publicly. It is the scariest thing I have ever done.'
According to the filed complaint, the outside firm's report recommended that Carney be sent to sensitivity training. However, according to Carney's lawyer and spokesman, Neil J. Ruther, there is no substance to Needleman's allegations.
In a statement, Kjome said that the internal investigation was thorough but Needleman criticises the BSO for failing to take her complaint seriously.

Oolong teas vary greatly from one to another. Many are noted for having sweet fruity flavors while others are roasted and can have nutty or grainy notes. Due to this range, choosing the right oolong for iced tea is a bit of a challenge. However, most oolong teas are refreshing served cold, so feel free to explore your options.
This iced oolong tea recipe is a refreshing, semi-sweet drink that is very easy to make. While black tea is often preferred for iced tea, you might find that oolong tea is a better choice. This is particularly true if you want a wholesome alternative to traditional sweet teas.
How to Make Better Iced Tea
There are two oolong teas that come highly recommended for this recipe. Oriental Beauty (also known as white tip oolong) is a type of oolong tea that originated in Taiwan. The tea is highly oxidized (usually around 70 percent) and is harvested from young tea leaves so as to start oxidation from the moment they're plucked. The result is a naturally sweet, slightly sour tea that is sold by a number of tea companies.
Many tea drinkers consider Taiwan to be the capital of oolong tea, so it's no surprise that this second recommendation, Wen Shan Bao Zhong, also hails from that country. This tea comes from the Wen Shan mountain range. It's a low-oxidized oolong described as smooth, sweet, and floral. Some drinkers even refer to it as having a creamy mouthfeel.
When beverages are chilled, they tend to lose some of their sweetness. This recipe calls for a naturally sweet oolong, so you'll only need to add a dab of honey for a perfectly sweet tea.
"Oolong is my favorite kind of tea! This recipe is a quick way to make a deliciously refreshing glass of iced tea to start the day or for a perfect afternoon pick-me-up!" —Kiana Rollins
1 cup water, heated to just below boiling
1 heaping teaspoon oolong tea leaves
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon honey
Pour the hot water over the tea leaves.
Steep for 4 to 6 minutes and then remove the tea leaves.
Add the honey and stir.
Pour the tea over ice and serve.
Oolong falls right in between green and black teas when it comes to temperature. The water should be about 195 F, which is near boiling (but not boiling, save that for black tea).
As far as time goes, oolong should be steeped a little longer than black tea. For a hot tea, 5 to 8 minutes is often recommended, but you can get away with just 4 to 6 minutes in this iced tea recipe. If you find that this is not bold enough for your taste, brew your next cup a couple of minutes longer. Brewing times are going to be affected by your personal taste and the quality of your tea leaves; make any adjustments as you see fit.

It never occurred to me that I may have just experienced my last September in Oxford until October was staring me right in the face..
Fingers crossed this isn't my last autumn in Oxford before I head to university... but if that's the case, I think it's about time that I take more walks like these (with great company of course!) amongst my favourite architecture.

The Best Platforms to Go Live on Social Media
by admin | Nov 30, 2020 | Public Speaking | 0 comments
There are many reasons to go live on social media. You'll receive instant feedback and get to interact with your audience. People would rather watch live streams than read blog content. You can create instant connections with your audience, and as most social media platforms prioritise video content, you get maximum exposure. But what's the best way to begin? In this article, I look at the best options to get started going live.
Go Live on Facebook
Facebook is the most used social media platform in the world. So if you're hoping to market your business using live video then it makes sense that this is a great place to do it. Facebook allows you to stream from your mobile device or desktop to your profile, page or group. Saving your content for as long as you'd like it to remain.
The video quality isn't as good as what you'd expect from a site like Youtube, but the reach-potential of Facebook far outweighs this. All you need is a Facebook profile and a device with a camera and you're ready to roll.
Go Live on Instagram
You will find similarities between Facebook and Instagram, which makes sense as they're owned by the same company. Stories, which are now available on Facebook, originated on Instagram.
Instagram lends itself to shorter content than you might expect to see on Facebook. But it still gives you the option to go live for up to 60-minutes, add in the filters and the options to turn comments on/off and it's easy to see the appeal of Instagram Live.
Go Live on Linkedin
Anyone can use Facebook or Instagram live features, but Linkedin is a little more selective. To go live on Linkedin you must complete an application to become a live broadcaster.
To become a broadcaster, you must prove that you reach specific criteria, which include having an audience, as well as proving you consistently put out quality content. Linkedin has said that this is because the service is still being beta tested. But as the platform is growing rapidly, I expect this service will only grow stronger.
Go Live on Youtube
With people watching over a billion hours worth of content a day, Youtube is without a doubt a powerful platform of video on the internet. Only on Google are more searches performed per day. Youtube provides the best quality video out of the platforms mentioned. Which makes sense as video is their primary content focus.
They give the option of streaming from your desktop, a mobile device or an encoder. However, being able to use encoding software isn't entirely novel, as services such as Streamyard can be used on Youtube, Facebook and Linkedin.
Go Live on Streamyard
Streamyard is a live streaming studio which you run from inside your browser. This means you don't have to download the software. You only need to login. Using a service like Streamyard means you can have the best of all worlds. By linking Streamyard to your social accounts, you can stream to many places at one time.
It has an easy-to-use interface which allows you to upload graphics and logos. It collects comments from across your platforms. Giving the option to show them live on-screen. To add guests, they just click a link then arrive in your studio. You can cue guests and bring them in and out of the stream as you wish. They are also given the option to share their screen.
You can try Streamyard for free. They also offer $20 and $39 packages which give you more recording time, extra streams and HD options. Streamyard is fast becoming a popular tool within the entrepreneur community.
Ready to Go Live on Social Media?
Facebook and Youtube are amongst the best social media platforms on which to go live. In comparison, Instagram and Linkedin are still in their infancy. But overall, there's no need to choose between them. With software such as Streamyard, you can stream to the majority of platforms at the same time. Meaning you can build multiple audiences with very little work, at no extra cost.

Antonius Christiaan Maria (Teun) Hocks (Leiden, 10 juni 1947 – Rotterdam, 27 februari 2022) was een Nederlands fotograaf. Hocks stond bekend om zijn tragikomische beschilderde foto's, geënsceneerde foto's met hemzelf als een eenzame Buster Keaton-achtige persoon in een mild absurde wereld. Daarnaast maakte hij ook videowerk en tekeningen.

Achtergrond
Teun kreeg al vroeg met de fotografie te maken. Zijn vader was een amateurfotograaf. Hij maakte opnamen met een platencamera, bouwde zelf een vergrotingsapparaat en werkte met eigen recepten.

Teun volgde van 1966 tot 1970 de opleiding aan de Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten Sint-Joost in Breda. Daarna gaf hij les aan de Design Academy in Eindhoven (1980-2012) en de Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam (1991-2000). De eerste jaren na St. Joost experimenteerde hij met fotografie, film en performances. In 1975 begon hij met het inkleuren van zijn foto's, waarin hij  normale dingen tot een vervreemdende scene combineerde. In 1979 had hij zijn eerste tentoonstelling in Galerie Lóa in Amsterdam.  1985 stopte hij met optredens en performances. Hij werd ontdekt door een fotogalerie in Amsterdam met goede contacten met het buitenland. Zij stuurden zijn werk naar biënnales waar het succesvol werd ontvangen.

Hocks schilderde de decors, verzamelde de rekwisieten en was zelf de acteur in de voorstelling. Hij drukte zijn foto's in zwart-wit op groot formaat af en voorzag ze met olieverf van kleur waardoor hij fotografie en schilderkunst samenbracht. Hij werd geïnspireerd door René Magritte,  Buster Keaton en Charlie Chaplin. Om de toeschouwer niet te sturen gaf hij zijn werk zelden een titel. In 1992 ontving hij de Capi-Lux Alblas Prijs. Hij heeft minstens zestien solotentoonstellingen gehad en zijn werk bevindt zich in zeker zes museale collecties.

Teun Hocks overleed na een lang ziekbed op 74-jarige leeftijd in zijn woonplaats Rotterdam.

Solotentoonstellingen
 1991 - PPOW Gallery, New York
 2001 - Galerie Patricia Dorfmann, Parijs
 1996 - De Zonnehof, Amersfoort

I arrive at my 12th review in my IMDB top 250 challenge. After some slight disappointments and a lot of very pleasant surprises, the challenge has proven to be quite a satisfying exercise that has introduced me to a good number of great films, some of which have become instant favorites of mine.
One of the most significant omissions in my film resume had always been what is branded as one of the most significant and influential films: Casablanca.
Like most other black and white films of Hollywood's so-called golden era, Casablanca represents a challenge for me to review. The style and manner in which these films are put together is very different from what I grew up with. Acting, back then, was rather theatrical, with gestures that did not strive for realism, but that stemmed from the fact most actors were theater-trained. Films were also made and delivered differently. In the almost 70 years that have passed since Casablanca's release audiences have changed quite a bit. While the contemporary tendency is for thinner plot lines and flatter characters supported by extremely detailed editing, old films like Casablanca strive for a great script, strong characters and clever storylines over most other aspects of film-making.
At times, the pace of films like these can be off-putting, often being branded as too slow and boring by today's audiences. Before we go forward, we have to consider that art is always a product of context. Casablanca was informed by a different American reality and by the films that preceded it. The history of film was still very much in its infancy when Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergmann shared the screen, and very few movies, if any, had captured the tragedy of unfulfilled love as poignantly as Casablanca had. It was also a highly appealing story that has always found success in movies: two people who are in love that are forced to sacrifice it for a higher cause. In fact, the film took risks that other films were not willing to take, weaving a romantic story through questions of morality, humanity and war.
The film was also the stage to powerful performances by the leads, especially Bogart, whose Rick Blaine interestingly combined an aura of cool with the fragility of a wounded man's man. Bergman as his love interest is captivating. She was more than a movie star, she was incredibly beautiful and elegant, enough to make her presence felt even when she was not taking part in the dialogue. For both big-screen legends, Casablanca will always remain as their crowning achievement, one that speaks a great deal about the power of love, but also about the unlikely triumph of a low-budget film based on an unremarkable play.
Today, we speak of Casablanca as one of the first American classics. It is common to see scenes from Casablanca still being imitated today. To judge it by today's standards would be as ludicrous as to pretend technology has not affected the medium. Given the tools and tradition that helped build Casablanca, the film is a remarkable achievement that has remained in time almost as powerful as it has always been.
Long time and no posts but I am back in business (explanation on my blog).
I really like Casablanca, I love the era in which it was shot and the romanticism (is that a word?) which it evokes.

Using four commonly employed commercially available carbon based electrode support materials, namely edge plane pyrolytic graphite (EPPG), glassy carbon (GC), boron-doped diamond (BDD) and screen-printed graphite electrodes (SPE), we critically evaluate the reported electro-catalytic performance of unmodified and MoS2 modified electrodes towards the HER. Surprisingly, current literature focuses almost exclusively on the use of GC as an underling support electrode upon which HER materials are immobilised. 2D MoS2 nanosheet modified electrodes are found to exhibit a coverage dependant electrocatalytic effect towards the HER. Modification of the supporting electrode surface with an optimal mass of 2D MoS2 nanosheets results in a lowering of the HER onset potential by ca. 0.33, 0.57, 0.29 and 0.31 V at EPPG, GC, SPE and BDD electrodes compared to their unmodified counterparts respectively. The lowering of the HER onset potential is associated with each supporting electrodes individual electron transfer kinetics/properties. The effect of MoS2 coverage is also explored. We reveal that its ability to catalyse the HER is dependent on the mass deposited until a critical mass of 2D MoS2 nanosheets is achieved, after which its electrocatalytic benefits and/or surface stability curtail. The active surface site density and turn over frequency for the 2D MoS2 nanosheets is determined, characterised and found to be dependent on both the coverage of 2D MoS2 nanosheets and the underlying/supporting substrate. This work is essential for those designing, fabricating and consequently electrochemically testing 2D nanosheet materials for the HER.

Because It Matters
Important Things (To Me, Anyway)
I See Dead People — Why Don't They?
revlmftblog1 Uncategorized June 21, 2017 3 Minutes
I've been watching the news for a while now, and it doesn't look good. For whatever reasons, we have elected people that want to kill us. The President wants to "overthrow Obamacare". A majority of the House of Representatives want to "repeal and replace" Obamacare. Apparently, some group of Senators (who are also in the majority party) want to do the same and they will be showing us their handiwork on Thursday, then attempting to push it through quickly and get the President to sign it.
All of this, as duly elected officials, is their right. The majority party can do that when they hold Congress and the Executive Branch. In theory, the Senate could blow us all away with the best-crafted healthcare-for-all bill the world has ever seen. If they do that, the nation will breathe a collective sigh of relief and the celebrations will commence. The problem with that, of course, is that we can only predict based on past actions and stated intents. The House version of this bill was horrible enough, with 24 million people predicted to lose their healthcare. They went back and made it more draconian, more punishing, more deadly — so that it would pass.
Now, the Senate version takes up the cause, and they are doing it behind closed doors, with no one but 12 people having worked on it. Given the party-in-charge's previous plans and celebrations, I don't hold out a lot of hope for this mysterious piece of legislation.
But this not a political decision, between "liberal snowflakes" and "conservative realists" as it is being painted by the press (especially Fox News) or between competing ideologies (as the rest of the press seems to think). It is a moral decision. If whatever comes out of the Senate Republicans takes away health coverage from anybody, it means earlier loss of life than with healthcare coverage for that person. Contrary to what that Congressman said, people do "die because of lack of healthcare coverage".
Do you know what they call people without healthcare? Dead or poor. The reason Obama made it a priority is because so many of the bankruptcy cases involved medical bills. Returning to the pre-Obamacare era is dumb economically, but it is lethal as well. Maybe that's the point. Maybe we need to accept that death happens. But as a society, don't we have the collective will to limit that? That's what Obamacare taught us: that we can save people, if we want to. This Senate doesn't seem to want to. Isn't preventing suffering a good thing? Isn't that our call as human beings — to take care of each other?
I'm not a big one for hyperbole, but isn't the early death of 23 million people a form of genocide? While it's a lot harder to prove neglect, we recognize that it is wrong, and that it is a form of violence. Writing a law that says some of us require neglect of others is inhuman. I have given up on figuring out who is at fault — doctors and the medical establishment or insurance companies and their rules or Big Pharma for soaking us for meds. At this point none of that matters. Those who have made things worse have already done so. For any other body — especially one of elected representatives — to plan the illness and destruction of millions of lives is something super-villains do in the comics. It has no place in real life.
If this bill does anything like it appears it will, anyone who votes for it should never be re-elected. Not ever! Still, that makes it about politics again. Anyone who votes for this — again, if it is what it seems — should not he allowed to represent humanity.
I keep seeing dead people as the direct result of this bill. If you're ok with that, you're dead already. I don't know what to say after that.
I'll be…

Collective Media has already seen a lot of success among the online advertising industry and is the trusted service provider for many Fortune 1000 brands. The service has grown by over 900% year-to-year, and has just closed out Series A funding with Greylock Partners. In other words, Collective Media is poised for even more rapid expansion and service dissemination.
Notably absent from the site itself is how exactly one goes about partnering or incorporating Collective Media's services. Collective Media offers so many different features and options that I wonder if it would be possible to derive custom packages for businesses that may not need or want all of Collective Media's services. The other element which is unclear is pricing; how much does Collective Media's full package cost? Is it a set amount, or does it depend on the needs of the business in question?

One Of The Worst Parking Lots At The Jersey Shore Is In Wall Township, New Jersey
Jimmy G
Jimmy G Published: June 28, 2021
Parking Lot Wall Townsip - Jimmy G Picture
This Wall Township parking lot is so horrendous that it's one of the worst parking lots at the Jersey Shore. Am I actually about to go off and lose my mind because of a parking lot? Yes... yes, I am.
Listen to Jimmy G nights on 94.3 The Point and download our free 94.3 The Point app.
I have no idea what the parking lot is called so let's just name it "The Old Kmart Parking Lot". However, the madness doesn't happen outside of the old Kmart building, the battle zone is in front of Jersey Strong and other popular Wall Township businesses. This parking lot is painfully congested, dangerous, and a nightmare to be driving in. It's like the second people pull in, all basic life skills get thrown out of the window. Everyone seems to fall into a trance, it's one big bubble of confusion!
All I was trying to do was get a haircut from Sport Clips. Instead, I found myself in a maze of aggressive people and automobiles. It was like a real-life video game. I almost ran over a patient who was coming out of CityMD Urgent Care. After successfully avoiding the patient, I swerved and narrowly missed an incoming exercise guru. Finally, I was able to exit my car and as I was walking in to get my haircut, I was clipped by a random car door from a person rushing into Bubbakoo's. Ridiculous! Keep in mind, it's still the easy level. When the new Target opens, the level of difficulty could multiply by five.
At the end of the day, I got a great haircut and escaped unscathed. I am looking forward to picking it up a notch when the new Target opens in the next few months. When entering this parking lot in the future, keep your head on a swivel and don't get blinded sided. P.S ... How about the French Toast at Meemoms!?!?
