Smoke from cigarettes blocks self-healing processes in the lungs and consequently can lead to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Researchers at the Helmholtz Zentrum München, partner in the German Center for Lung Research (DZL), and their international colleagues have reported this in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
Cough, bronchitis and breathing difficulties -- these are the typical manifestations of COPD. Exact figures are not available, but estimates assume that ten to twelve percent of the adults over 40 years of age in Germany suffer from the disease. Experts estimate the national economic costs of the disease at almost six billion euros annually.* Scientists around the world are attempting to discover how the disease develops and what biological adjustments can be made to stop it.
One approach involves the lung's natural self-healing, which no longer takes place in COPD. "In healthy patients, the so-called WNT/beta-catenin signaling pathway is responsible for the lung's homeostasis. Until now, it was not clear why it was silenced in patients with COPD," explains Dr. Dr. Melanie Königshoff, head of the Lung Repair and Regeneration (LRR) Research Unit of the Comprehensive Pneumology Center (CPC) at Helmholtz Zentrum München. She and her team spent the last few years tackling this question in the framework of an ERC Starting Grant and discovered that one of the Frizzled molecules- Frizzled 4 -plays an important role.
"Frizzled 4 is a receptor molecule that sits on the surface of lung cells, where it regulates their self-renewal via WNT/beta-catenin," explains first author Wioletta Skronska-Wasek, doctoral candidate at the LRR. "However if the cells are exposed to cigarette smoke, Frizzled 4 disappears from the surface and cell growth comes to a halt."
The starting point for the current study was the team's observation that in the lung tissue of COPD patients, and especially that of smokers, there were significantly fewer Frizzled 4 receptors than in non-smokers. "In the next step, we were able to prove in cell culture and model systems that inhibition of Frizzled 4 signaling on the cells led to decreased WNT/beta-catenin activity and consequently to reduced wound healing and repair capacity," described Dr. Ali Önder Yildirim, an expert on the effects of cigarette smoke in the lung. He is a group leader at the Institute of Lung Biology of the CPC at the Helmholtz Zentrum München and also participated in the study. The authors additionally recognized that without the receptor, there was a loss of certain proteins that are important for the structure of lung tissue (including elastin, fibulin and IGF1) and the lung's elasticity, allowing patients to breathe.
Melanie Königshoff's research unit is a part of the German Center for Lung Research (DZL). Since the end of last year, she is also been setting up a new laboratory at the University of Colorado, Denver, where she will further expand her research program on lung regeneration.

Q: Unable to register U2F token from the Chromebook login window We have our own SSO server which has the feature to allow U2F token registration from within the authentication process.
This feature works well on a PC using Chrome (with or without the U2F browser extension). It also works well when used from the browser on the Chromebook after the user has successfully authenticated.
However when we enable SSO on Chromebook and try to register the U2F token during the authentication process, registration does not seem to work. After some debugging we find that the onMessage event listener is not being called after sending a U2F register request to the u2f_register_request channel.
However the same is not true for sign request (when authenticating after having registered using a PC). When we send a request to u2f_sign_request we successfully receive a message on the onMessage callback.
Has anyone encountered this issue before? or know of work around that will allow us to perform registration during the authentication process?
The following shows some of the code being used to post to the channel:
// 1. connect to extension
var port = chrome.runtime.connect("kmendfapggjehodndflmmgagdbamhnfd", {'includeTlsChannelId': true});

// 2. bind callback function
port.onMessage.addEventListener(function(message) {
// this callback not been invoked if post 'u2f_register_request' message to channel in chrome OS login page
     handler({'data': message});
});

// 3. post message to extension.
port.postMessage({

Autumn Statement could lead to Entrepreneurs' tax relief reforms
UK tax professionals have warned that tax giveaways for entrepreneurs selling their businesses could be reformed in the upcoming Autumn Statement.
The Entrepreneurs' tax relief, which enables professionals selling a business to pay capital gains tax on their profits at reduced rates, could be at risk of reform with the Treasury looking to tighten its belts.
This particular relief is worth £3bn a year to UK entrepreneurs, but as it only benefits a few thousand small business owners, professionals within the industry warn that it could be vulnerable to cost-cutting by the Treasury.
In the 2013-14 financial year, Entrepreneurs' tax relief was claimed by 43,000 people; allowing successful business owners to sell up and pay just 10 per cent in capital gains tax, as opposed to the normal 28 per cent, up to a lifetime limit of £10m.
Richard Murphy, director, Tax Research UK, told the Financial Times (FT) that the brunt of this tax relief given away last year – around £1.8bn – was capitalised on by roughly 3,000 people, who each sold their company stakes for more than £1m and received average tax reliefs of £600,000 each.
The overall cost of the relief in 2013-14 was £2.9bn – £2bn more than originally forecast by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
Chas Roy-Chowdhury, head of taxation, Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), believes the value of entrepreneurs' relief meant that it was likely to be a topic of conversation within an Autumn Statement that's likely to focus on spending.
"Anything that can save the Government money, particularly because of the tax credit fiasco, must be up for grabs," Roy-Chowdhury said to the FT.
Capital gains reliefs have been widely regarded as vulnerable ever since Prime Minister, David Cameron's pre-election pledge to lock income tax, national insurance and VAT rates until 2020.
Subsequently, Chancellor, George Osborne could be forced to amend both the rate of entrepreneurs' relief and the limit for qualifying gains. It's not expected that the relief will be removed altogether.
The Autumn Statement will be delivered to the House of Commons alongside the government's spending review on Wednesday 25th November.

After Ola, now Pure EV electric scooter caught fire, watch video
The case of fire in Ola Electric scooter Ola S1 Pro in Pune, Maharashtra is in the news. Now a similar incident has come to the fore with another electric scooter. It is being told that an electric scooter of Pure EV brand caught fire in Chennai. Pure EV, a startup in the electric scooter world, launched the EPluto 7G electric scooter last year. The fire that broke out in its electric scooter has added to the safety concerns regarding the EV.
In a new video uploaded on YouTube, an electric scooter of the brand can be seen catching fire. In the video, dark white smoke is seen rising from the electric scooter parked on the side of the road. Cars are passing around. The 26 second video is enough to tell what would have happened to the electric scooter. Seeing the video, it can be guessed that the smoke must have come out of the battery of the scooter and it engulfed the entire vehicle.
your official Statement Pure EV in the US has said that we are investigating the incident and will do a thorough evaluation. We adhere to high standards of safety through rigorous internal testing. Along with this, special materials are going to be installed in the battery pack to avoid situations like fire / explosion.
The incidents of fire in electric vehicles have also increased the concern of the government. The Road Transport Ministry has asked the Center for Fire Explosive and Environment Safety (CFEES) to investigate the two cases at the Defense Laboratory of DRDO. One of these cases is of Ola's electric scooter. Giridhar Armane, Secretary, Ministry of Road Transport, told a news agency that if the causes of damage are not addressed early, it may spread fear to affect the EV industry. He said that the purpose of the investigation is to bring out the truth.
However, this is not the first such incident. In September last year, two scooters of Pure EV also caught fire. After this, there was news of a fire in Okinawa's electric scooter in October. In December too, a scooter of HCD India caught fire, killing a 60-year-old man.


jconsole (and visualvm) can be used to attach to running JVMs, to give information about CPU, threads, memory, and retrieve and change JMX values.
Running jconsole on the same machine as the running JVM is easiest. It finds a list of running JVMs and allows you to connect.
However, if your JVM is running on a remote server, it gets harder.
. This however requires some X libraries to be on the remote host, and also jconsole, which isn't part of the JRE - it's part of the JDK, which might not be installed on your server.
The other alternative is to enable remote JMX connections. To do that, you must start the JVM with additional arguments.
The example below will enable remote connections with NO security at all. If you do this, ensure that the port is firewalled off so that only your host can reach it, and remove it afterwards.
Ensure that the port is opened up to you, and then run jconsole 1.2.3.4:3210 (where 1.2.3.4 is the IP of the remote host). This should allow you to get a better insight into what your JVM is doing.
where 1.2.3.4 is the output on the server of hostname -i. If hostname -i gives you an error (hostname: Unknown host), add an entry to /etc/hosts with the server's IP, and the output of hostname.
If you still can't connect, I've noticed that even though you establish the connection on the port listed in com.sun.management.jmxremote.port (3210 in our example), a second network connection is made on a high TCP port. If you're running a default DROP/REJECT firewall, try opening up all ports (only to you!), to see if this makes a difference. I haven't seen any documentation regarding this, but I've definitely experienced it myself.
To set up remote JMX connections more securely, use username/password authentication, and/or SSL with client certificates. Details of the various JMX remote options can be found on the Oracle site.

Blog | Where are we with the water–energy–food nexus?
Where are we with the water–energy–food nexus?
One of the things I noted from the discussions at the recent Dresden Nexus Conference, organised by our friends at the UN University FLORES* is that climate change is very much back on the agenda.
This is no surprise, with the COP21 meeting in Paris coming up at the end of the year, professionals and experts across all sectors are talking about the way that climate change is affecting policy-making and development.
We will be talking about climate change ourselves, at the upcoming World Hydropower Congress in Beijing. For example, we will look at what climate resilience means for project developers, and how green bonds can spur the deployment of low-carbon technologies.
Understanding climate change is fundamental to energy planning. All energy sources and technologies will be directly or indirectly affected by climate change. In the case of renewables, increased atmospheric temperatures will cause changing wind patterns, cloud cover, precipitation, soil fertility and water availability. Governments must take leadership in recognising the need to encourage climate resilience considerations into future energy planning.
Renewable technologies can complement each other in climate-constrained world. But the complementarity must be well thought-through. This is why policy-makers should use subsidies to encourage particular technologies with extreme care, and only after cross-sectoral analyses. A good example of a well-functioning mixed renewable system is Iceland, where all heat and power is delivered through synergy between: geothermal, hydropower and wind. Climate change is included in forward planning, with modelling determining long-term forecasting and investment decisions.
Hydropower will continue to have a special place in energy, food and water planning. Stored water will take on an even greater importance when climate change is factored into the increasing demand for water, food and energy. The addition of climate adaptation services, such as drought protection and flood attenuation, may well be an additional expectation in the future, with some notable cases already in place.
It is possible to manage uncertainty around the water-energy-food nexus. For example, the drive to make land more productive for agriculture tend to increase the demand for energy. We can model the energy intensity of fertilisers or that of irrigation systems, to help inform decision-making on land use and crop selection. But these tools need to be refined and made more accessible.
Energy is a key element of the nexus. If we are able to provide affordable energy in a socially- and environmentally-acceptable way, we will also improve our ability to manage water, soil and waste, because energy underpins all human activities.
Steps towards a circular economy require further priority in research and implementation. Waste-to-energy refers to the conversion of non-recyclable waste materials into useable heat, electricity or fuel through a variety of processes, such as incineration, gasification and landfill gas recovery. Waste-to-energy and energy recovery require more attention, and win-win examples need to be promoted more widely.
We must share risk more equitably. Planning development while taking into consideration the impact on food, energy and water (what we call a "nexus approach") poses the question of responsibility. When a greater number of stakeholders and sectors become involved in the decision-making process, policy-makers and developers need to pay special attention to risk and responsibilities, and ensure that both are shared equitably.
We must improve information flows. One of the biggest hurdle to implementing a "nexus approach" is the lack of information and communication across traditional geographic boundaries and sectors. Some organisations may have a special role in facilitating these exchanges, and I think in particular of what IHA has been doing as an organisation – bringing together all parties to pool knowledge and to factor in multiple perspectives.
Richard M Taylor, a Fellow of the Energy Institute (UK), has been involved in the hydropower sector since 1985. He became a founding Board member of IHA in 1995, and has served as the association's chief executive since 2001.

" It's clobberin' time! "
~ The Thing to Doom, famous phrase.
Thing real name Benjamin Grimm is the deuteragonist of the 2005 live-action movie Fantastic Four and the major protagonist in its sequel Rise of the Silver Surfer as well, he is portrayed by Michael Chiklis.
Reed Richards, a brilliant but timid and bankrupt scientist, is desperate to get funding for a space mission to study a cosmic storm, approaches multi-millionaire industrialist Victor Von Doom. Victor agrees to let Reed and his friend Ben Grimm use his facilities, but decides that he and his assistant (also love interest, and former girlfriend of Reed) Susan Storm accompany him, and the mission is piloted by Von Doom astronaut Johnny Storm (Susan's brother and former subordinate of Ben)
On the Von Doom space station, Ben is sent to arrange plants for experiments with the cosmic storm, while Reed monitors its approach. Whilst Ben works, Reed find the storm is accelerating much more than he anticipated, and tries to get Ben back inside before it hits.
When Victor refuses Reed's plea to abort the mission, the station is engulfed by its vast energies. Whilst Victor is seemingly safe behind the station's shields, the others attempt to rescue Ben (who was space-walking at the time) and are exposed to the cloud.
The astronauts make it home intact and are taken to Victor's private hospital to recuperate. There, they begin to experience physical changes. Reed find his body is able to stretch far past normal lengths. Susan finds she is able to turn invisible, and Johnny finds he can engulf his body in flames without being harmed, and has some limited flying ability. Ben, however, is traumatized by his transformation into an orange, rocky creature of superhuman strength. Ben flees the hospital, heading back home.
In New York, Ben contacts his former fiancee, but she is terrified by his new appearance. Dejected, Ben retreats back into the shadows. He finds himself on a bridge, where a man is contemplating suicide. In attempting to help him, Ben inadvertently causes a massive traffic accident. He goes to help, as the rest of the team turn up. Using their new-found powers, Reed, Susan and Johnny help to save everyone involved in the accident, and are hailed as heroes in the media.
Victor, meanwhile, is developing his own powers. The head wound he sustained begins to spread, and reveals a metallic layer underneath the flesh. He also finds an ability to affect electrical equipment and that metallic objects near him begin to vibrate.
The Fantastic Four (although they have yet to adopt this name) all move into Reed's apartment in the Baxter Building, where Reed works to reverse the storm's effects, particularly for Ben. He subjects them all to tests, finding the hottest temperature Johnny can reach (as hot as a supernova, capable of vaporising all life on the planet) and finding the triggers for their powers. (He finds they are caused by emotion: when Susan is annoyed or angry she turns invisible. When Johnny is particularly excited, he can flame-on). However, he cannot work out why Ben is unable to turn his powers on and off. Johnny, tired of being cooped up inside, runs off to participate in a motocross event, exploiting his powers to pull off tricks. As he finishes, the media swarms him, pressing for details of the team. It is now that he gives the team their names- Mr Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Human Torch, and The Thing. Ben is particularly put out by this moniker.
Victor is called to a meeting by his stockbrokers, who inform him that due to the disastrous space mission, his company is in serious financial danger, and they are planning on withdrawing their capital. It is a final comment, suggesting Victor returns to his home country of Latveria, which causes Victor to snap and murder the head of the stockbrokers that evening.
Victor decides that Reed is responsible for his problems, and by proxy the rest of the team. He finds Reed has been working on a machine to reverse their powers, but it lacks enough electricity to work. However, that is not a problem Victor has any more. He lures Ben into the machine and powers it himself, turning Ben human again. Victor then kidnaps Reed, and begins to freeze his body, knowing that if rubber is super-cooled it becomes so rigid that it can be shattered. He fires a heat-seeking missile at Johnny, knowing the Human Torch to be the hottest item in the vicinity.
Ben, meanwhile, realizes that if he is to be any use to his friends, he must become The Thing again. He steps into the machine.
Susan tries to stop Victor and save Reed, but on her own she is not powerful enough. Fortunately, Ben, now The Thing again, arrives just in time to initiate the final showdown.
As Johnny appears again, having avoided the missile and caused it to fly into the river by setting fire to a garbage barge and flaming off, the Fantastic Four is united against Doctor Doom (his body now completely metallic, and his face covered by the familiar mask). Reed co-ordinates an attack utilizing all their powers: Johnny flies around Doom, heating up to full supernova ability, whilst Susan holds a force-field around him to contain the heat. As those two members eventually stop, exhausted, a superheated Doom advances on the other two. Ben breaks open a fire hydrant, and Reed shapes his body into a funnel to shoot the water at Doom, cooling him rapidly and freezing his metal body solid.
Ben informs Reed that he has accepted his condition with the help of Alicia Masters, a woman for whom he has developed feelings, and the team decide to embrace their roles as superheroes and unite officially as the Fantastic Four. Reed takes Susan aside and proposes to her, which she accepts.
Von Doom, meanwhile, is last seen loaded into a crate and shipped back to Latveria. The electronics on the ship experience unusual interference, and it appears that Doom is not dead after all.
Set two years after the first film, Reed Richards and Sue Storm are preparing for their wedding. A silver object enters Earth's atmosphere, radiating cosmic energy that creates massive molecular fluctuations and causes deep craters at locations across the Earth. The government approaches Reed to build a sensor to track the movements of the object.
As the wedding begins (humorously, Stan Lee has a cameo where he attempts to enter the wedding), Reed's systems detect the phenomenon approaching New York City, causing a massive power blackout. The object destroys the sensors while the Fantastic Four protect the crowd. The Human Torch pursues the object, discovering that it is a humanoid, a "Silver Surfer." He confronts the Surfer, who drags Johnny into the upper atmosphere where the lack of oxygen and low air pressure snuffs his flame out, then drops him back toward Earth. Johnny manages to reactivate his powers and survives the fall. Later, when Sue tries to comfort Johnny, she touches his shoulders and their powers switch - he becomes invisible, and she is set on fire; when they touch again their powers revert back. Reed's examination of Johnny reveals that exposure to the Surfer has set Johnny's molecular structure in flux, allowing him to switch powers with his teammates through physical contact. Tracing the cosmic energy of the Surfer, Reed discovers that a series of planets the alien had visited before Earth have all been destroyed.
The Surfer has been creating a number of deep artificial craters around the globe. Reed determines that the next crater will appear in London, and the team travel there. They are just in time to avert the destruction of the London Eye by the effects of the Surfer's passing, and save its passengers, although the rescue is jeopardized when Johnny accidentally touches Reed and switches powers with him. The Surfer departs, and the Thames drains into the crater.
The Surfer's movements around the globe bring him past Latveria, where the cosmic energy affects Victor Von Doom, freeing him from two years as a metal statue. Doom, able to move again but scarred, traces the Surfer to the Arctic and makes him an offer to join forces. When the Surfer rebuffs him, Doom attacks. The Surfer returns fire, blasting Doom through the ice. The cosmic energy of the Surfer's blast heals Doom's body, reversing the changes seen in the first film.
Doom, pursuing the power in the board, steals it from the compound, using the device he secretly created earlier to gain control of the board and its powers. The Fantastic Four rescue the Surfer, and pursue Doom in the Fantasticar, confronting him in Shanghai. During the battle, Sue is mortally wounded. With the Surfer powerless, Johnny absorbs the combined powers of the entire team in order to battle the cosmic energy-empowered Doom. Johnny succeeds in breaking Doom's control over the Surfer's board, while Ben Grimm uses a nearby crane to knock Doom into the harbor where he is last seen sinking; however, Galactus has already arrived, and Sue dies in Reed's arms. The Surfer regains the control of his board, and his power is restored. He revives Sue and chooses to defend Earth, flying into Galactus and confronting him. The conflict results in a massive blast of energy, apparently destroying Galactus.Doom leverages his experience into a deal with the American military, who force the Fantastic Four to work with Doom. Deducing that the Surfer's board is the source of his power,from the pulse beginning that it, Reed develops a pulse generator that will separate him from it, while Victor, who was supposed to be helping Reed, is working on some other unknown remote-like machine. While setting up the device, Sue is confronted by the Surfer, during which he reveals he is merely a servant to the destroyer of worlds, and regrets the destruction he causes. The military opens fire on the Surfer, which distracts him and allows the four to fire the pulse, separating the Surfer from his board. The military imprisons the Surfer in Siberia and forbids the Fantastic Four from interacting with him, while they torture him for information. Sue uses her powers to sneak into his cell, where she learns more information from the Surfer. He tells her his master was known by the people of his world as Galactus, a massive cloud-like cosmic entity which must feed on life-bearing planets to survive, and that his board is a homing beacon which even now summons him to the planet.
The film ends with the marriage of Reed and Sue in Japan, and the team's creation of their signature "4" in the sky with the Fantasticar. The credits cut back to a shot of the Silver Surfer's seemingly lifeless body floating through space. Just as he drifts off the edge of the screen his eyes open and his board races towards him.
Ben and team upon Doom's defeat.

These are the easiest appetizers you will ever make. We make these at least once a week, on a weekday! That's how easy they are.
The filling is made with easy to find ingredients, and you can play with the amounts. The best thing about this recipe is that it requires minimal prep work, so sauteing or any other type of cooing beforehand-you just mix all the ingredients together and spoon them in the mushrooms. You can also make the filling earlier and keep it in the fridge, although it literally takes 5 minutes. I use barley bread crumbs, or you can use whole grain breadcrumbs as well. I used a Greek soft goat cheese (katiki), but you can also use cream cheese, and I'll be trying yogurt in the future. I find that goat cheese adds more flavor though. These are pretty healthy, I use olive oil and plenty of herbs and feta for flavor.
Another thing I do is peel the mushrooms. I learned this from my French mother in law. It seems time consuming, but it actually is calming and it only takes a few minutes plus it takes away the worry that you haven't washed them well enough or that they have soaked too much water. Here's a video that shows the process- I do it with my hands (no knife). So there you have it: a vegetable based appetizer with just a few calories but rich in flavor.
In a bowl, mash all the ingredients (except mushrooms) with a fork, until somewhat creamy.
Wash or peel the mushrooms.
Fill the mushrooms with the filling, placing them on a pan.
Once filled, sprinkle with a few more bread crumbs, and add a few drops of olive oil on each mushroom (I used a sprayer).
Bake for about 15-20 minutes until top is golden.
Sprinkle with some herbs and serve warm.
Stuffed mushrooms are so delicious and I find that it's a definite crowd pleaser. Katiki is one of those cheese that can be hard to find, but it's well worth it because of the flavor and texture. Fresh herbs make an amazing addition to most foods!
Is it wrong to eat just this for dinner?

New Plant & Equipment, M&A
Henkel Expands Portfolio With The Sonderhoff Brand
DÜSSELDORF, Germany — January 31, 2020 — Since the end of December 2019, the two and a half year integration phase of the Sonderhoff Group into Henkel AG & Co. KGaA has been completed. As of January 1, 2020, all Sonderhoff companies have been merged into the Adhesive Technologies business unit. The former Sonderhoff sites in Germany, Austria, Italy and the United States are now also operating under the Henkel name — only the Sonderhoff site in China will continue to operate under its previous name. Customers will continue to be served from these locations as before.
Sonderhoff's activities will continue to be managed operationally from Cologne and are organizationally assigned to a business area of Henkel Adhesive Technologies. The Sonderhoff portfolio will continue as the SONDERHOFF brand of Henkel Adhesive Technologies, a leading global supplier of adhesives, sealants and functional coatings. With this brand, Henkel offers its customers a technology platform for customized sealing, adhesive bonding and potting solutions using Formed-In-Place (FIP) technology. Henkel provides users with materials, machines and contract manufacturing from a single source. The advantages of customer-specific application solutions are based in the close, coordinated interaction of mechanical engineering, material formulation and process know-how. The product range consists of foam sealing, adhesive and potting systems based on polyurethane, silicone or PVC as well as mixing and dosing systems for automated material application to industrial components. Henkel also offers OEMs and suppliers individual automation concepts and application technology advice.
"The innovative system solutions of the SONDERHOFF brand with their high level of technical expertise and customer-specific offers and services complement our existing portfolio excellently. They also serve an attractive market with diverse growth prospects," said Michael Todd, global head of innovation and new business at Henkel Adhesive Technologies.
With the Sonderhoff portfolio Henkel offers a MAKE or BUY option. The customer can purchase FIP technology from a single source for his own production (MAKE option) and receives the machines and material systems optimally adapted to his manufacturing process. Or with the BUY option, Henkel takes over the sealing, bonding and potting of the components for the customer. The material is applied on the parts with Sonderhoff mixing and dosing systems at the contract manufacturing locations in Germany, Austria, Italy, USA and China. The spectrum ranges from the sampling of prototypes and small series to the assumption of series production on a production scale.
Henkel draws on its comprehensive portfolio of solutions and its broad application knowledge from more than 800 industrial segments for the tailor-made foam sealing, adhesive bonding and potting solutions of its customers.
As a product lifecycle partner to customers, Henkel's experts for Sonderhoff FIP technology carefully analyze customer needs and their product requirements of tomorrow. On this basis, Henkel quickly and reliably delivers and implements the best customer-specific solution, which is permanently ensured by current technologies and a continuous innovation process.

Marilyn Mazur's Future Song – LIVE REFLECTIONS
Marilyn Mazur (perc) + Nils Petter Molvær (tp), Hans Ulrik (sax), Makiko Hirabayashi (keyb), Eivind Aarset (g, electronics), Klavs Hovman (b), Audun Kleive (d), Tone Aase (voice, electronics) / Aina Kemanis (voice), Elvira Plenar (keyb), Krister Jonsson (g).
A plan came together in the mind of Marilyn Mazur. It was a plan nurtured by experiences while touring the world, playing in the bands of some of Jazz Music's great masters, including Gil Evans, Wayne Shorter, and Miles Davis. She would end up leaving Davis' project to realize her own. She returned from the USA to her home country of Denmark to create her 'dream band.' That's what she calls it, and that's what it is.
"I had toured with some big names for three or four years, and it was both fantastic and very educational," says the now 65-year-old drummer, percussionist, composer, bandleader, and world musician. "But I also had a bit of a hard time with the chemistry in those bands. That music, for me, did not go up to a higher plane, and I wanted to gather a group where the members communicated on a more intimate level, in a more telepathic way. A group that gave everyone space to unfold with their own, individual expression."
The year was 1989. The result was a new band called Future Song, with a Scandinavian lineup consisting of like-minded and distinctive musicians.
Future Song was a success. The group toured all over Europe, but working conditions were often tumultuous. Members were spread out – geographically (between Denmark, Norway, and Sweden) and with regard to time and energy, as each participant also had other projects to take care of. Marilyn Mazur, for example, said yes when the Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek called her up in 1991 to offer her a place in his band (as Miles Davis had done in 1985).
Different faces and voices fell in and out of the rotation. The economic conditions in the industry made concert organizers reluctant to hire them, and the group was formally dissolved in 2009. But this didn't mean it was forgotten. In fact, far from it.
A few years ago, in an All About Jazz interview, Marilyn Mazur was asked about her own outings, and she pointed to the music she had written for Future Song. And in January 2015, for her 60th birthday celebration, her greatest wish was to reunite the group with some of the original musicians.
They succeeded, and their meeting was also documented in concert footage from Bodø in Norway and the Copenhagen JazzHouse in Denmark.
The music can now be heard on the CD Marilyn Mazur's Future Song, Live Reflections. It contains versions of nine Mazur compositions, including two previously unreleased recordings from 1990 and 2008, and it should be mentioned that it is the first of Future Song's independent releases to present the band live.
Marilyn Mazur was born in New York in 1955 as the daughter of a mother of Polish descent and an African-American father. The family moved to Denmark when Marilyn was six, and it was there that the creative child developed obvious and undeniable talents for writing, singing, dancing, and music.
She had been taught classical piano, but left the keys in favor of percussion. She studied at the Royal Danish Music Conservatory, but she was largely self-taught while carving out a voice as an internationally iconic percussionist and artist. The classical education gave her some theoretical ballast… creating a certain structure while never hindering her in her many creative endeavors. Her willingness to pursue and live out her emotions in a musical universe has been, and remains crucial.
She likes to set up with a large and spectacular range of percussion. According to All About Jazz, she manages to transform her performance into a discharge of energy, and the acclaimed Danish jazz critic Kjeld Frandsen once wrote in a concert review that "here were not least all the details, for example: just that rhythmic figure or just that razor sharp cymbal or bell stroke, which in the right split second could transport the music a few light years. And in the middle of it all – a regular jazz drum set, where Marilyn Mazur could just play jazz drums, as few would be able to, after her."
Marilyn Mazur is also a collector. In her rehearsal room and private 'music house' (or 'barn,' as she calls it), she has a myriad of gongs, drums, marimbas, balafons, log drums, cymbals, and bells. Lots of bells. Probably about a thousand.
She formed her own first band in 1973. Many have fallen by the wayside, while new ones are still being added. As a sought-after side-person, she can spout off a list of almost unreal musical partners of dizzyingly length.
Marilyn Mazur has recognition in the form of both international and domestic honorary awards, and she has received a lifetime achievement honor from the Danish state for her overall artistic efforts.
About the new CD, Marilyn Mazur's Future Song, Live Reflections, she says: "Well, it's been a long time coming, but it's nice to get it out. They're not studio recordings, it's live music. The mix is made by Norwegian Audun Kleive, who has been in the group from the beginning, and you can hear that there is a drummer in there. He doesn't go so much for a particularly jazzy sound, he goes for something raw, something wild. It's the rhythm, the groove and the interplay, which are featured. The different layers stand out clearly, and the soundscape has become a little different than with other Future Songs. But it's still Future Song. It's not that different either. The goal was still to create a kind of musical symbiosis where the musicians improvise in a network or, one might say, move around in a maze. It's not soloist after soloist with accompaniment."
Marilyn Mazur's Future Song Live Reflections interprets music from different periods in the group's existence. The music is broad. It can also be experienced as a piece of history.
It's in the name 'Future Song' that the vision and motion look and move forward and develop naturally. Therefore, the electronics fill up more space on Live Reflections, but it is still music carried by emotion. And in Marilyn Mazur's vision, musical, non-verbal communication can help to create greater understanding between people.

Film review: Brick Lane
Since its publication in 2003, Brick Lane by Monica Ali has inspired adulation and condemnation with equal fervour.Prize for political writing, the Commonwealth Writers' Prize and The Guardian Fiction Prize.
Sign up to FREE email alerts from YorkshireLive - What's On
Since its publication in 2003, Brick Lane by Monica Ali has inspired adulation and condemnation with equal fervour.
The debut novel was nominated for the prestigious Man Booker Prize for Fiction, the George Orwell Prize for political writing, the Commonwealth Writers' Prize and The Guardian Fiction Prize.
Ali herself won Newcomer Of The Year at the 2004 British Book Awards.
However, some residents of the area of east London depicted in the novel were not so lavish with their praise.
They alleged the Brick Lane of Ali's rich invention bore scant resemblance to the place they call home, and that the book portrayed the Bangladeshi community in a deeply negative light.
When director Sarah Gavron announced her intention to shoot a film version on location, the media fanned the flames of controversy with reports of protests and uproar.
Adding fuel to the fire, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall pulled out of a high profile charity screening of Gavron's film.
As a result, for only the second time since World War II, there was no Royal Film Performance this year.
The story revolves around 17-year-old Nazneen (Tannishtha Chatterjee), who enters into an arranged marriage to portly Chanu (Satish Kaushik) – a man old enough to be her father – and leaves rural Bangladesh for a housing estate in London.
Nazneen dutifully follows the path that life has chosen for her, bearing two daughters – Shahana (Naeema Begum) and Bibi (Lala Rahman) – and cooking and cleaning while Chanu blunders from one low paid job to the next.
She lives vicariously through the letters of her beloved sister Hasina (Zafreen), whose romantic travails fire Nazneen's imagination.
Venturing outside the four walls of her home, Nazneen befriends neighbour Razia (Harvey Virdi), who encourages the young wife to earn extra money by sewing garments for local businessman Karim (Christopher Simpson).
The moment Razia meets the handsome wheeler-dealer, something within her stirs.
Brick Lane is beautifully crafted, thanks to director of photography Robbie Ryan, who paints rural Bangladesh as a colourful, vibrant paradise of idyllic childhoods.
These dreamy flashbacks contrast with the earthy tones of London, a multi-cultural melting pot which threatens to choke Nazneen's spirit.
The rich characterisation and intricate plot strands of Ali's tome have been simplified greatly by screenwriters Abi Morgan and Laura Jones.
The tragic-comic Chanu makes the biggest impression, beautifully portrayed by Kaushik, whose boundless optimism and lack of social graces cannot disguise a pure heart.
Chatterjee is beguiling, with a beautifully expressive face that reflects Nazneen's maelstrom of emotions, and she gels effectively with Simpson.
Considering the extraordinary, topsy-turvy odyssey of Brick Lane from page to screen, it's ironic that Gavron's picture should be so cosy and languid.
Indeed, it is hard to imagine this well-acted tale of yearning and cultural difference sparking fierce passions or discord – a contented sigh, perhaps.

Zombie Mouse Master Extends Lifespans

Long before he was creating zombie rodents for the Pentagon, biochemist Mark Roth became fascinated with the idea of immortality. Now, he's found a way to "significantly increase life span[s]" -- at least in worms. And the key is the same substance that Roth uses to turn mice into the semi-undead.
Roth discovered that if you cut off certain creatures' oxygen supply in just the right way, they won't die. Instead, they'll fall into a kind of suspended animation, or hibernation. They wont take a breath. Their hearts won't beat. Wounds stop bleeding;
nearly any injury becomes survivable, and the brain shuts down without damage. "If you were shot, this is exactly what you would want," Roth says. And when the wounds are bound up, the critters can be brought back, good as new. All that's needed is a whiff of a hydrogen sulfide, which binds to mitochondria and impedes the body's ability to use oxygen.
In order to better understand the mechanics of how it works, Roth and his colleagues at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center "turned to the tiny nematode, a workhorse of laboratory science because its biology is similar in many respects that of humans," according to a statement from the Center. "The worms also are ideally suited for studying life span, because they normally live for only two to three weeks."
The researchers found, to their surprise, that nematodes that were raised in a carefully controlled atmosphere with low concentrations of H2S (50 parts per million in room air) did not hibernate. Instead, their metabolism and reproductive activity remained normal, their life span increased...
*"Although the maximum extension of survival time varied between experiments, the effect was quite robust. On average, 77 percent of the worms exposed to H2S outlived the untreated worms," Roth said. The mean life span of worms grown in an atmosphere laced with hydrogen sulfide was 9.6 days greater than that of the untreated population, a longevity increase of 70 percent.
Most genes that influence life span in C. elegans act on one of three genetic pathways: those that control insulin/IGF (insulin growth factor) signaling, those that control mitochondrial function and those that modulate the effects of dietary restriction.
*Roth and colleagues ruled out hydrogen sulfide's influence on each of these pathways. Instead, they suspect it acts through a different mechanism. One theory is that exposure to H2S naturally regulates the activity of a gene called SIR-2.1, which has been shown to influence life span in many organisms, including the nematode.
Previous studies have found that over-expression of this gene increases the longevity of C. elegans by 18 percent to 20 percent.
"Further research into the genetic mechanisms that influence
H2S-induced changes in nematodes may reveal similar mechanisms in higher organisms, including humans, with potentially wide-ranging implications in both basic research and clinical practice," Roth said.
For example, understanding how H2S affects physiology in animals may lead to the development of drugs that could delay the onset of age-related diseases in humans such as cancer, Alzheimer's and heart disease.

First off, 2014 was a pretty mixed year for me. So, let's focus on the good. For my Japanese self-study progress, I felt that I understood more Japanese than I did last year. This is because I started memorizing words that I come across that I don't know from video games, especially the ones that are on the JLPT. In addition, I started taking memorization of Kanji more seriously when I memorized all the common radicals while pairing any vocabulary I know so I can have an easier time remembering them. Surprisingly, I was able to understand more of the text in these video games without referring to the dictionary as much. While I only got to the third chapter in the Advanced Japanese textbook, I hope that I will finish it by June so I can move on to possibly taking the third level of JLPT. I will see how much I can accomplish during my job search.
As for Anime blogging, it had some ups and downs. Traffic wise, while I manage to break a new record at one point with the blog having 1273 page views in a day during March. Sadly, it kind of collapsed in the last few months after Google changed their algorithm, which impacted sites that have duplicate or low quality content. As a result, I have experienced a traffic drop of 60%. It took me a while to fix it by excluding all the archive pages because of duplicate content, excluding certain pages/posts and remove the broken links. From fixing all the broken links, it made me realize how much the Anime Blogosphere changed during the 6 years I have been blogging. There are good amounts of Anime blogs that simply do not exist anymore or are inactive, including the ones this year.
After reading Yumeka's post on why blogging still matters, I wanted to share my thoughts about social networking in general and it's impact on Anime blogging and forums. People argue that social networking like Twitter and Facebook is changing how we share ideas and they are replacing blogs and forums. While I am cynical when it comes to social networking not because of the privacy issues, inability to post long-form posts and for the fact that not everyone in the blogosphere follows/friends each other, the turmoil that is still happening in the gaming fandom makes me feel that social network sites like Twitter and Facebook is not a great place to have a serious discussion about anything. Although the decline is contributed by the popularity of new forms of media such as videos and podcasts, I still think that blogging will have a place for years to come, especially for long-form content such as editorials, impressions and reviews.
As a whole, I feel that 2015 will be a year for change personally. Since I completed my last semester of my Master's degree in Information Technology, I will be doing my usual job search. Although I will have expenses such as student loans and such, I might decide to go to an Anime convention in the near future. It really depends if I need to move and what location (most likely in the mid-Atlantic region, including Southern New Jersey), but Otakon is a good possibility. If I decide to go, I will either have a live blog or the usual coverage post with a lot of photos.
As for the types of content I will be writing next year, it's not going to change much even though I may only post 2-4 times each week when I start working and focus more on long-form content such as editorials and reviews. Not only that, I will finally overhaul the side blog to reflect the name change, something that I wanted to do ever since I got a new moe domain name back in November.
For the games I plan on covering this year, they are Love Live Paradise, Tales of Innocence R, Dekamori Senran Kagura, Madoka Magica Battle Pentagram, Hanayamata Yosakoi Live, Neptune Rebirth 3 and possibly Senran Kagura: Estival Versus. I will cover additional games depending on when I will get my first job. Despite that, I will have more than enough games to cover for 2015 at least.
With that, I wish everyone a Happy New Years. I'll see you in 2015!
Glad you'll continue blogging. I believe aniblogging is still an important thing like you said since sometimes Twitter and Facebook limits the content length you can post or your content is not taken seriously.
Yep, the main issue with social networks is not only the character limit, but for the fact that the environment is a bit casual and arguments/debates usually devolve to like/dislike. Given the nature of social networks, people tend to react quickly, most often in an a nasty way such as harassment or even attempting to silence them by doing massive blocking campaigns just because he/she does not agree with a particular opinion, which is wrong. Controlled environments such as blogs and forums are a better way to share thoughts as there will at least be moderator or a site owner if things go out of hand.
But aside from that, I wish you a happy new year.
Happy New Year and hope you have a good one.
I do hope that 2015 will be better… and also thanks.

Lancia information
Lancia was an Italian automobile manufacturer founded in 1906 by Vincenzo Lancia as Lancia & C.. It became part of the Fiat Group in 1969; the current company, Lancia Automobiles, was established in 2007.
The company has a strong rally heritage and is noted for using letters of the Greek alphabet for its model names.
Lancia vehicles are no longer sold outside Italy and comprise only the Ypsilon supermini range, as the late Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne foreshadowed in January 2014 until his death in 2018.

Lancia history
Lancia Automobiles S.p.a. is an Italian vehicles producer established in 1906 by Vincenzo Lancia which got to be some piece of the Fiat Group in 1969.The first Lancia logo was composed by Count Carlo Biscaretti di Ruffia. The logo indicates a spear and shield with banner. ("Lancia" signifies "spear" in Italian.) The Turin auto storehouse is named after di Ruffia as Museo Nazionale dell'automobile "Carlo Biscaretti di Ruffia". The logo was overhauled in 2007.
The organization has a solid rally legacy and is noted for utilizing letters of the Greek letter set for its model names.
Lancia was established on 29 November 1906 in Turin by Vincenzo Lancia and his companion Claudio Fogolin, both being Fiat hustling drivers, as Lancia & C. The principal Lancia vehicles the "tipo 51" or 12 HP (later called Alfa) was made in 1907 and transformed from 1908. This auto had a little four chamber motor with a force of 58 bhp. In 1915 the Jota, Lancia's first truck, seemed and there emulated an arrangement of Jota trucks. In 1937 Vincenzo kicked the bucket of a heart strike, and his wife Adele Miglietti Lancia and his child Gianni Lancia assumed control over the firm. They influenced Vittorio Jano to join Lancia as an architect. Jano had officially made a name for himself by building the Alfa Romeo 1750 Sport Alfa Romeo 6c, 2300, 2900, P2 Alfa Romeo P2 and P3 Alfa Romeo P3, probably the most fruitful racers of now is the ideal time.
Lancia is celebrated for some auto developments. These incorporate the 1913 Theta, which was the first preparation auto in Europe to characteristic a complete electrical framework as standard supplies. The principal auto with a monocoque-sort body – the Lambda, handled from 1922 to 1931 likewise offered 'Sliding Pillar' autonomous front suspension that joined the spring and water driven damper into a solitary unit (and emphasized on most creation Lancias until the Appia was supplanted in 1963). 1948 saw the initial 5 velocity gearbox to be fitted to a handling auto (Series 3 Ardea). Lancia debuted the first full-handling V6 motor, in the 1950 Aurelia, after prior industry-heading explores different avenues regarding V8 and V12 motor setups. It was additionally the first organization to transform a V4 motor. Additionally, Lancia spearheaded the utilization of autonomous suspension in creation autos, in a time where live axles were basic practice for both the front and back axles of an auto. They likewise created back transaxles which were fitted to the Aurelia and Flaminia ranges. The inventiveness, steady mission for incredibleness, the obsession of value, the difficulty of the development techniques and the antiqued apparatus implied that all autos basically must be hand-made. With little shared trait between the different models, the expense of generation kept on increasing broadly, while request did not.

Cue discussion of how voice-activated interfaces are a terrible idea, that real computers will never work like computers on Star Trek, that Microsoft's UI designers were consumed with hubris if they ever thought this would work, etc. etc.
Too pessimistic! Thing is, there's actually a very simple solution to this problem. It doesn't even rely on any exotic technologies. We could do it today.
The very same words can be any of these three categories, depending on the intent behind them. Human language is ambiguous! That's why humans rely on so many non-verbal cues, like tone of voice and facial expression, to interpret what other humans are saying.
Computers can't interpret like that. But they wouldn't have to if we just had a microphone with a couple of buttons on it.
Hold button 1 and talk: The software interprets your speech as commands.
Hold button 2 and talk: The software interprets your speech as content.
Hold neither button: The software ignores anything you say.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and predict that we'll see a decent voice-activated system within the next few years, that will rely on a non-verbal communication channel (such as a few buttons) to help resolve the ambiguity of speech.
There will still be plenty of applications where people would rather type than talk (think about all the reasons why people would use text messaging on cell phones instead calling up and talking to someone), but once the novelty wears off I think speech-based interfaces will soon be seen as one more useful tool among many.

Where did you get it/What kind is that? I purchased mine quite some time ago, from amazon.com, the brand is Plaid, and unfortunately it is no longer available, but a quick search results in several other brands. I suggest getting one with smaller "teeth" as it will result in a more "natural" edge. Google "paper tearing ruler" or "deckled edge tool" as well. They are out there!
Is it sharp? Will you cut yourself?: The teeth are sharp enough to tear paper but not sharp enough to cut your skin, I have never injured myself using it, but please take caution as you would while using any tool.
TIP: to get the most "natural" looking tear, place the ruler on top of the side you want to tear off, and tear against the ruler. There will be two edges, one will have a slightly raised ridge that is lifted because of the ruler. You don't want that ridge on your finished paper side. Hopefully the images below help communicate this. Click to enlarge and read the captions.
I have used this paper tearing ruler on handmade paper, watercolor paper, text weight paper, and cover weight paper, all creating a faux deckled edge at the size of paper that I need. Nothing beats a natural deckled edge on handmade paper, but sometimes you just need something at a certain size, and this ruler is a tool that I always reach for.
Hope this helps you in your future paper tearing adventures!
The wrong side, don't put your ruler here.
The correct side, put your ruler along the bit you want to remove.
Can you see the ridge on the torn off side? No ridge on the "keeper" paper.
No ridge at the top, ridge at the right side.

Home Cars SEPTEMBER 2015: UNEXPECTEDLY COOL: A 1964 FORD GALAXIE WAGON
SEPTEMBER 2015: UNEXPECTEDLY COOL: A 1964 FORD GALAXIE WAGON
Full-sized station wagons were once kings of the road.
They were the most popular mode of transportation to haul a kiddie explosion known as baby boomers during their childhood years.
Most of us barely noticed them when we were kids, even though they were right in front of our eyeballs on the roads during the 60s and 70s.
Station wagons were hardly the stuff of dreams for kiddie car guys during the 60s and 70s, an era when muscle cars and pony cars got our undivided attention.
Then the station wagons were gone, replaced by mini vans and sport utility vehicles for the coveted kid-hauler job. The ultimate in un-cool automotive transportation in the eyes of children who grew up in the 60s and 70s performed the best disappearing act since bubble gum music and the 1910 Fruitgum Company.
The disappearance of the 60s-70s station wagon caused an unexpected reaction for now-middle-aged baby boomers: we missed them. Their disappearance was a lost connection with our own childhoods and we began to miss the unloved wagons.
That sense of loss has driven up the value of any vintage station wagon that managed to dodge the crusher for all of these decades. We seize every opportunity to get a wagon story so a survivor 1964 Ford Galaxie station wagon was high on our list at a car show.
The Galaxie's owner was Ron Marchuk and he was the right owner because he was old enough to remember station wagons on the road very well from his own childhood. Ron's father owned a 1963 ½ Ford, so he had some fond memories of this automotive era from a personal point of view.
The wagon had spent its life in Ocean City, California, including 25 years in warehouse storage until last fall when Ron rescued it from confinement. Ron is an experienced mechanic who currently enjoys a life of semi-retirement and wanted to own a vehicle from a simpler time.
The wagon fit the bill because Ron only needed to replace the hoses, spark plugs and wires, then add a new battery to put the 51-year-old Ford back on the road. In fact he had a 350 mile road trip planned for the wagon the next week following our interview. We spotted the car at a few shows this past summer and it was running like a top.
The car has only a few options, including a power back window and a clock, but its most important option is likely its overdrive because Ron's wagon is a column-mounted manual transmission and the overdrive system is a valuable asset.
He averaged around 70 mph (110 km/h) on the highway during his first trip in the wagon and found it was very comfortable at that speed. Ron pointed out the cars were engineered during a relatively modern era for higher speeds and have little difficulty running on modern roads.
His Ford is equipped with a 289 engine and provides plenty of power for the wagon.
Ron describes his car as "all original and clean underneath."
We describe his car as all original and very cool everywhere, a concept we never saw coming when we were kids riding in station wagons.
