Hugi #23 was released on August 12th, 2001. It was the first issue I released after graduating from high school. The issue contained 1.3 MB of articles, which made it the largest issue of the #20s era. This large size was partly due to Tomcat's Army Report, which was published in this issue.
The issue contained a couple of articles on the Assembly 2001, which had happened short before the release. There was also a Bachelor's thesis about the demoscene, "Decoding Art - A Critical Analysis of the Demo Scene", in this issue. The coding corner dealt with scripting engines, code optimization and raytracing. There were also articles on music, graphics and real-world topics.
Maturefurk had won Assembly 2001 with their Amiga demo Lapsuus, and Hugi contained a report about the making of this demo, written by Saku.
One of the most interesting new releases mentioned in Hugi #23 was the Alambik scripting language. Hugi included the following news item: "Alambik Ltd. has developed a scripting language (Alambik Script 4.0) for producing 'multi-content audiovisual creations' similar to demos. The interpreter has recently been ported to the Windows environment. At the-demo.com, you can download the Alambik Viewer and 27 sample productions."
Another news item reported about a new tracker. "Cheese Tracker is a new Impulse Tracker clone for Linux, coded by Juan Linietsky aka reduz. It has the same shortcots and almost the same features; however, xi, xm, mod and filters are currently not supported. The program uses Libmikmod."
Back in those days, the Demoscene Outreach Group, which tried to bring the demoscene to SIGGRAPH, was still active. Hugi contained the following news item about it: "The Demoscene Show at the 2001 Game Developers Conference was a success. 'The demoscene received a warm welcome from game developers at the 2001 Game Developers Conference with a selection of the best demos shown during lunch. A number of sceners, active and in-active, were present during the session including members of the legendary Future Crew.' On August 15, the demoscene is going to have its public appearance at the SIGGRAPH 2001 Birds of a Feather session, a side meeting open to the general public that is held during the annual SIGGRAPH conference. Speakers will be Saku Lehtien of Remedy Entertainment (aka Saku/Maturefurk), Soren Hannibal of Shiny Entertainment, Aaron Foo of Sony Computer Entertainment America. The location: LA Convention Center, Room 506."
An interesting new diskmag had also been released. "In June 2001, Devotion 2 (Amiga diskmag) was released under the Haujobb label. A completely new staff had taken over the magazine, led by Wade - an ex-editor of Seenpoint and ex-member of Scoopex, now a member of Haujobb - and Sane (also known from Seenpoint). Serious trouble had preceded the release of the magazine. Work on Devotion 2 started short after the release of the first issue, more than a year ago. In the course of the time the father of the magazine, Darkus, and the 'second main editor' Magic did not keep regular contact. It later turned out that Darkus was in a difficult phase of life and had apparently lost motivation to continue his work in the scene. He, however, denied Magic the right to complete the half-finished issue and release it. This was the reason why Magic published the pack dvn2dead.lha featuring the articles he had written or received for the issue. Then Wade contacted Darkus, willing to help finish the second issue; he organized a team that wrote a lot of articles. According to his description in the Devotion 2 editorial, they managed to finish the entire magazine, but waited for Darkus' approval without success; therefore they decided to publish the mag anyway, not caring about the former main ed's permission. The magazine contains a lot of articles with critical opinions on individual sceners. In spite of the argumentation being comprehensible, and the language being on a rather high level, it is doubtful that this is a good service for a small and diminishing community such as the Amiga scene; some texts such as the fictional story on Magic's funeral are beyond the limits of good taste. Be careful when you download Devotion 2: It has been reported that the original version contained a virus (of course it was not intentionally included). The file Haujobb-Devotion2.lha from Scenet is supposed to be clean."
In 2001, Tomcat was diligently working on his book FREAX, which eventually came out two years later. Hugi #23 reported about this: "As already appeared on Orange Juice, Tomcat / Greenroom is continuing the project he was running since 1996, but had suspended for almost a year: writing the complete and detailed history of the demoscene, from the very beginnings to these days. This book, titled FREAX, will probably be published next spring or summer - so, Mekka-Symposium or Assembly 2002. Even better, there is some chance that this project will be connected to Trixter/Hornet's demo DVD project. If so, a nice package will soon appear containing the FREAX book, and some DVDs with the best classic demos in video format - something you can show to your grandchildren."
In those days, the demoscene was also showed off on TV and other media: "The media have lately displayed increasing interest in the scene - especially in Germany. The most important thing to mention is the programme 'Demo-Dienstag' that is broadcast on the channel NBC Giga every Tuesday. It regularly covers new scene demos. The audience of this TV channel is mainly composed of teenagers interested in computer games. The programme has been heavily criticised by German demo groups such as Vacuum for showing demos without prior written permission by the creators. On the other hand, it has stirred up interest among a part of the audience to venture into the art of demomaking. On April 27 and 28, Querfunk featured a programme on chip music ('Digital Noise from the home computers in the children's rooms'). On Wednesday, June 27, 2001, there was the first programme about the demoscene broadcast by a popular German radio station, Fritz, audible in Berlin and Brandenburg. From 10:00 pm to 1:00 am Crest and Wayfinder presented a lot of information about the foundation and development of the demoscene, its parties, and its music. The programme was also distributed as an MP3 stream. The show electronic beatz on the music channel VIVA 2 supposedly covered electronic kindergarten, an Austrian exhibition on computer culture at which also demos had been presented (see the report in this Hugi issue). The reporter had interviewed Adok about the demoscene. 3sat broadcast a TV report of Mekka & Symposium 2001; see the paragraph on Mekka & Symposium for more information. According to Tomcat/Greenroom, the Hungarian TV channel RTL Klub broadcast some pictures about a Hungarian Amiga party, fyanica, showing people bashing malfunctioning computers. Some 'professionals' said: 'There are so-called demoparties, at which 'compos' are held, these are about crashing and destroying computers, that's what the entire party is about.' In other words, they claimed that compos were computer breaking vandalism parties, and that the demoscene was a synonym for this. The Hungarian demoscene is upset, and Tomcat, being the head of FLaG demoparty organizing, threatened to sue the TV channel. Finally, on the occasion of Assembly 2k1, another article about the demoscene was published in Wired magazine. This article was apparently inspired by Vincent Scheib's introduction to the demoscene at Gamasutra. Also, 3sat broadcasted a TV party report about Mekka & Symposium 2001. T.C.P./Eichel commented at Orange Juice: "Well done, compared to other tv party reports. Not the usual 'ooh, look at all those funny dirty freak bastards, they're all crap in the head and kill each other with their compiootars'... " The report is in German language; a divx-encoded version is to be found in the Mekka & Symposium 2001 directory at scene.org; a transscript is also located in this directory."
The famous novelist Douglas Adams, author of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", died in summer 2001, and there was a little obituary dedicated to him in this issue of Hugi.
Two old groups were getting active again: S!P and Rebels. Quote: "Surprise!Productions, one of the largest demogroups of older days, is back, now just having five active members (avalanche, Klumsy, Loki, Multiplex, ReeBoK, Sky). They have already released a demo called 003 at Escape 2001 in Finland. The group Rebels is also having a comeback. With their demo Twenty4 (coded by Seffren), they won the 1st place at Underscore 01. Many ex-Tequila dudes are now members of Rebels to keep up the chip tradition. Former members of the Amiga section such as Oyise (gfx) and Jerry (music) are now also working for the PC releases." Also, Scoopex got a new homepage.
Moreover, a diskmag for the Macintosh was released. "The first Macintosh scene diskmag is out now. theMake, edited by Qirb, features 'web promotion, programming tutorials, entertainment & even more', enhanced with music. You can download it at thinkmac.de. (Note: The site was not available at the time of writing.)"
Basically, those were the most interesting news items of Hugi #23. The issue also contained some great pieces of art such as the opening, background and closing pictures by Partikle, the winner of the graphics competition at Assembly. The music by Steffo, Gopher and CoaXCable was also worth listening to.

Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival 2018
Conflating Old and New in Becket
By: Pillow - Dec 13, 2017
Jacob's Pillow announces the full season lineup for Festival 2018, including U.S. company debuts, world premieres, international artists, newly commissioned work, rich historic Festival connections, and the formal presentation of work developed through the organization's growing residency program at the Pillow Lab. Jacob's Pillow is the longest-running dance festival in the United States, a National Historic Landmark, a National Medal of Arts recipient, and has recently expanded to become a year-round center for dance research and development. Festival 2018 opens on June 20, engaging visitors and community members from throughout the region and beyond, on- and off-site, through August 26.
International companies will travel to Becket, Massachusetts, from Denmark, Israel, Belgium, Australia, France, Spain, and Scotland. Notably, representation from across the United States ranges from New York City, Minneapolis, and Houston to Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Chicago, among others.
"I am thrilled to share what we have in store for Festival 2018," says Jacob's Pillow Director Pamela Tatge. "This summer, we introduce new work through Pillow debuts and world premieres, welcome back fan favorites, and reconnect audiences with the work of companies that are returning to the Pillow for the first time in years, like PHILADANCO!, Limón Dance Company, Houston Ballet, and ODC/Dance. Opening our season with The Royal Danish Ballet, one of the world's most highly respected ballet companies, in the Ted Shawn Theatre, presenting the U.S. debut of Compañía Sharon Fridman, and ending with an artist-curated program by New York City Ballet's Daniel Ulbricht, are just a few special highlights for me. With live music collaborations, work that was developed at our Pillow Lab, and site-specific special engagements, I truly believe Festival 2018 has something for everyone."
Jacob's Pillow announced Vision '22, a strategic five-year approach to the Pillow's development through 2022, in June 2017. As a testament to the growth and success of this vision, the Pillow presents the work of four artists that have had their choreographic endeavors developed and supported through the Pillow Lab, an incubator of new work. This includes the world premiere of b-girl-led Ephrat Asherie Dance's Odeon; Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE's collaboration with GRAMMY-Award winning Afro-Cuban jazz artist Arturo O'Farrill; the world premiere of Jacob's Pillow Dance Award winner Michelle Dorrance's newest work; and the world premiere of Paramodernities by Netta Yerushalmy, steeped in dance history and presented through multiple programs.
Live music continues to be an integral aspect of seven multidisciplinary collaborations featured this season, including Ragamala Dance Company's distinct alchemy of Iraqi, jazz, and Carnatic instruments composed by Doris Duke Performing Artist Awardee Amir ElSaffar; live music by 20th century Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth in Ephrat Asherie Dance's Odeon; a diverse blend of Korean, Indian, Congolese, and Japanese music in Eastman's Fractus V; an original, live score by Donovan Dorrance and Gregory Richardson featuring vocals by eclectic soul vocalist Aaron Marcellus in Dorrance Dance's Myelination; GRAMMY-Award winning Arturo O'Farrill's Afro-Cuban jazz in New Conversations; an original music score composed by indie folk duo The Bengsons performed as dance symphony with six on-stage musicians in Sonya Tayeh's you'll still call me by name; and a selection of works by composer Leonard Bernstein to coincide with a program of Jerome Robbins in Stars of American Ballet.
Dedicated to expanding ideas about where dance can happen, Jacob's Pillow also presents several special engagements that extend beyond the traditional Festival schedule. The first to note is hosting the symposium of Translucent Borders, a three-year initiative led by The NYU Global Institute for Advanced Study that brings together global collaborators, culminating in a presentation as part of the Inside/Out Performance Series. Additional highlights include Monica Bill Barnes& Company's Happy Hour, where Sommers Studio, former home of The School at Jacob's Pillow, is re-imagined as a performance space for a quirky office party; Scottish company Janis Claxton Dance's POP-UP Duets (fragments of love) performed at the Season Opening Gala and in the community at Pittsfield's Third Thursday Street festival, and other locations; and an All Styles Dance Battle hosted by Ephrat "Bounce" Asherie, featuring Festival artists, participants of The School at Jacob's Pillow, regional street artists, and surprise judges.
VIP Pre-Sale begins February 20, 2018. Tickets go on sale to the public on April 2, 2018.

Royal Danish Ballet
June 20-24, Ted Shawn Theatre
Revered as the world's third oldest ballet company, the Royal Danish Ballet returns to Jacob's Pillow for the first time in over a decade to open Festival 2018 in the Ted Shawn Theatre. While the distinctive repertoire of Danish choreographer August Bournonville remains a cornerstone for The Royal Danish Ballet, in his ten years as Artistic Director, Nikolaj Hübbe has brought the company to an impressive technical level which masters a wide range of modern and classical ballets. Praised as "a masterclass in style" (The Guardian), leading principals and soloists perform a program of solos, duets, and a grand finale, imbued with a rich Danish-Pillow history that dates back to the U.S. Debut of the first group of soloists in 1955. Program details to be announced.

June 20-24, Doris Duke Theatre
"Soulful, imaginative, and rhythmically contagious," (The New York Times) Minneapolis-based Ragamala Dance Company is highly acclaimed for creating a genre of performance that brings together a contemporary Western aesthetic with an Indian ethos. Sharing the South Indian classical dance form of Bharatanatyam with audiences for over 25 years, Ragamala brings their multi-disciplinary work Written in Water to the Doris Duke Theatre. Conceived by Artistic Directors and Doris Duke Performing Artist Awardees Ranee Ramaswamy and Aparna Ramaswamy—and inspired by the second century Indian board game, Paramapadam (the precursor to Snakes & Ladders)—the work explores parallels between ecstasy and longing in Hindu and Sufi traditions. With original artwork and a score by Doris Duke Performing Artist Awardee Amir ElSaffar, Written in Water brings together internationally celebrated artists and features a live music ensemble with a distinct alchemy of Iraqi, jazz, and Carnatic instruments. This work creates "a feast for the eyes, ears, and heart" (Tallahassee Democrat).
June 27-July 1, Ted Shawn Theatre
For 45 years, this "mind-blowing troupe of wildly creative and physically daring dancers" (NY Newsday) has tested the limits of human physicality, exploring the beauty and power of connected bodies.

Ephrat Asherie Dance
June 27-July 1, Doris Duke Theatre
Ephrat Asherie Dance presents the world premiere of Odeon, a high-energy, hybrid hip-hop work set to and inspired by the music of early 20th century Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth, in the Doris Duke Theatre. Lauded as "a bona fide b-girl" (The Boston Globe), 2016 New York Dance and Performance ("Bessie") Award recipient Ephrat "Bounce" Asherie layers breaking, hip-hop, house, and vogue with the rich sounds of Nazareth's buoyant score, which melds classical romantic music with popular Afro-Brazilian rhythms, played live. Odeon was created in part during two residencies at the Pillow Lab.

Batsheva - The Young Ensemble
July 4-8, Ted Shawn Theatre
The "superhumanly spry" (The New York Times) movers of Batsheva - The Young Ensemble will perform the award-winning Naharin's Virus in the Ted Shawn Theatre. Embraced as part of one of the most prominent contemporary dance companies in the world, the company boasts an internationally diverse roster of dancers from Israel and beyond. Adapted from the anti-play Offending the Audience by Austrian playwright Peter Handke and enriched by Ohad Naharin's innovative, wide-reaching movement language Gaga, Naharin's Virus is described as being "as powerful as the eye of the storm" (The Jerusalem Post). Under the inimitable direction of "one of the most important living choreographers" (The Guardian), the majority of dancers in The Young Ensemble go on to become members of Batsheva Dance Company. The presentation of The Young Ensemble coincides with a two-week Professional Advancement program Gaga: The Movement Language of Ohad Naharin, offered by The School at Jacob's Pillow.

Nicola Gunn
July 4-8, Doris Duke Theatre
Melbourne-based performance artist Nicola Gunn combines text and choreography to create contemporary performance praised as "tantalizing, entertaining, ridiculous, and often bewildering in the best possible way" (Herald Sun). A confrontational reflection on peace and conflict, moral relativism, and the very function of art, Piece for Person and Ghetto Blaster is inspired by an incident between a man, a woman, and a duck that touches upon the complex realms of human behavior. In her solo Pillow debut, Gunn slips across tempos, ideas, and performance modes—from theater to dance to performance art and back again—challenging how we see art, the world, violence, and each other.
July 11-15, Ted Shawn Theatre
Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui is celebrated as one of the most original and ambitious talents in contemporary dance today, garnering an international reputation for his "silky intermingling of hybrid movement forms and emotionally intense theater" (The New York Times). The Belgian dance artist performs with his company Eastman in Fractus V. Originally created for the 40th Anniversary of Pina Bausch's Tanztheater Wuppertal, Fractus V is inspired by the political philosophy of Noam Chomsky and explores the production and manipulation of information. "A thrillingly expansive watch, large with possibilities and potent with ideas" (The Guardian), the work is an amalgamation of cultures featuring five male dancers with diverse movement backgrounds ranging from circus and Lindy-hop to flamenco and hip-hop, and musicians performing a varied composition with influences including Korean, Indian, Congolese, and Japanese.

PHILADANCO!
July 11-15, Doris Duke Theatre
"Virtuosic, spiritually uplifting, and socially conscious" (The Philadelphia Inquirer), The Philadelphia Dance Company (PHILADANCO!) is celebrated for its innovation, creativity, and preservation of predominantly African-American traditions in dance. Resident modern dance company for the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts and led by 2013 National Medal of the Arts recipient Joan Myers Brown, PHILADANCO! works in "a range of idioms most companies don't even try to possess" (Dance Magazine). From contemporary ballet to modern genres, PHILADANCO! is a respected staple in the dance hub of Philadelphia, returning to Jacob's Pillow for the first time in over 20 years. Program details to be announced.
Dorrance Dance
July 18-July 22, Ted Shawn Theatre
"One of the most imaginative tap choreographers working today," (The New Yorker) Jacob's Pillow Dance Award winner and MacArthur "Genius" Fellow Michelle Dorrance returns, marking Dorrance Dance's fifth Festival engagement in six years. The iconic tap troupe will perform their newest, groundbreaking work Myelination, featuring an original live score by Donovan Dorrance and Gregory Richardson with vocals by eclectic soul vocalist Aaron Marcellus, and a world premiere commissioned by Jacob's Pillow, rooted in solo tap work. This Festival fan-favorite "pushes the boundaries of tap while exposing its true nature: that it is music" (The New York Times). The world premiere was developed in part through a residency at the Pillow Lab and is made possible by the support of Jim Chervenak.

"A thrilling fusion of hip-hop and contemporary dance" (The New York Times), Cie Art Move Concept is led by prominent French hip-hop figures Soria Rem and Mehdi Oauchek. With the ability to transcend traditional moves by mixing contemporary dance with circus arts and mime, Cie Art Move Concept is a genre-blurring tour de force of movement and motion. They make their Pillow debut with physically thrilling, emotionally-driven work that showcases intricate technical refinement. Program details to be announced.
Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE with Arturo O'Farrill and Resist
Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE performs New Conversations, a soulful, uplifting new work marked by Brown's iconic blend of African, Caribbean, and contemporary choreography and set to Afro-Cuban jazz music by GRAMMY-Award winning musician Arturo O'Farrill, performed live by O'Farrill and jazz ensemble Resist. Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE has deeply moved audiences for over thirty years, praised for a "sophisticated amalgam of Afrocentric movement and modern dance" that often makes "spirituality...something vibrant and transformative" (Los Angeles Times). Brown is an in-demand choreographer who frequently sets works on major companies, most recently including Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and Limón Dance Company. Performed with live music for the first time, New Conversations was commissioned by long-time Pillow supporters The Charles and Joan Gross Family Foundation and was created in part during a residency at Jacob's Pillow.

Madrid-based Compañía Sharon Fridman makes its U.S. debut, with athletic, adventurous work rooted in contact improvisation. Part of a new generation of groundbreaking Israeli choreographers, Sharon Fridman's performance credits include Tadmor Dance Company, Vertigo Dance Company, and Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company. In a versatile program where "even the smallest movement speaks volumes" (The Coast), Compañía Sharon Fridman performs Hasta Dónde..? and Free fall. The first is a duet that has been performed over 300 times around the world and explores dependency, struggle, and harmony, while the second was awarded a highly respected Max Award for the Performing Arts and rehearses and engages with community volunteers, who become an integral part of the production.
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago
August 1-5, Ted Shawn Theatre
On the occasion of its 40th anniversary, world-renowned Hubbard Street Dance Chicago (HSDC) returns to Jacob's Pillow with a diverse program featuring today's leading contemporary choreographers including Crystal Pite and resident choreographer Alejandro Cerrudo, among others. Praised as a "near-perfect storm of movement, music, and choreography" (Los Angeles Times), HSDC brings an eclectic repertoire performed by an impeccably strong, technically-driven ensemble of dancers to the Ted Shawn Theatre. An audience favorite since their Pillow debut in 1983, HSDC has performed at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival more than a dozen times. Program details to be announced.

Faye Driscoll
August 1-5, Doris Duke Theatre
Faye Driscoll returns to the Pillow for the second consecutive summer with the next installment of the Thank for You For Coming trilogy. Play, described as "captivating and complex" (Portland Mercury), investigates the ritual of storytelling, focusing on the shadows, gaps, repetitions, and stutters between what we say and what we do while we say it. In this peculiar and enthralling collage of gesture, image, voice, and persona, performers ventriloquize, shape-shift, and speak through and for each other. A New York Dance and Performance ("Bessie") award-winning choreographer and alumnus of The School at Jacob's Pillow, Driscoll is lauded by The New York Times for making "utterly original work" that "doesn't look like anything you've ever seen before, nor can you imagine thinking up."

Limón Dance Company
August 8-12, Ted Shawn Theatre
A vanguard of American modern dance since its inception in 1946, Limón Dance Company is a thriving legacy of José Limón and his mentors Doris Humphrey and Charles Weidman, whose innovative works revolutionized dance in America. After making their Pillow debut in 1946, the company achieved considerable fame and recognition, known for being the first modern group to outlive its founder. Acclaimed for dramatic expression, technical mastery, and expansive yet nuanced movement, Limón Dance Company is under the new artistic direction of Colin Connor and perpetuates the timelessness of José Limón's work and vision. "Performing with luscious spontaneity" (The New York Times), Limón Dance Company brings the immediacy of the classics to life while at the same time performing vibrant, new choreography commissioned for the company. Today, the company represents a changing "definition of humanity" with a "new kind of rawness" (Dance Magazine). Program will include works by José Limón and Kate Weare.

Highly acclaimed for her "fierce choreographic imagination" (The New York Times), Netta Yerushalmy makes her Pillow debut with the world premiere of Paramodernities. Presented in several installments and with two different programs, this work is a meditation on the different tracks taken by the modern tradition, in dance and beyond. Yerushalmy tackles this tradition with both reverence and violence, by deconstructing iconic works from choreographers such as Alvin Ailey, George Balanchine, and Bob Fosse, and then performing them alongside scholarly contributions that situate them in larger contexts. Intelligently crafted, The New Yorker praised Yerushalmy's most recent work as a "perfect dance." Paramodernities is co-commissioned by Jacob's Pillow and has been developed in part through residencies at the Pillow and area colleges.
August 15-18, Ted Shawn Theatre
Houston Ballet returns to Jacob's Pillow for the first time in almost 40 years. Australian Artistic Director Stanton Welch has led the respected company since 2003, marking its evolution into a world-class troupe of 59 dancers that calls the largest professional dance facility in the United States home. Celebrating a wide range of classic and contemporary ballet, Houston Ballet brings a program featuring Welch's Clear, an abstract work for seven men and one woman set to music composed by Bach, In Dreams by former Choreographic Associate Trey McIntyre, and a world premiere commissioned by Jacob's Pillow with an original music score by one of America's most-performed contemporary composers and co-founder of Bang on a Can, David Lang.
Sonya Tayeh
August 15-19, Doris Duke Theatre
Obie and Lucille Lortel Award winner and Drama Desk and two-time Emmy Award nominated choreographer Sonya Tayeh presents you'll still call me by name, an emotionally-charged dance symphony that explores a mystifying, complex, and jagged relationship between a mother and daughter. Tayeh's riveting new work exposes the cellular desire for familial acceptance, intimately investigating and dissecting the heartbreaking chasm that forms when it is lost and the endurance it takes to transcend the space in between. The work is performed by a company of ten dancers and six musicians, including collaborators Lucille Lortel nominated artist Jo Lampert and indie folk duo The Bengsons, who composed the original score. Vulture praises "the twirling, stomping, hysterical choreography by Sonya Tayeh and the haunting, ululating music by The Bengsons marvelously sustain and heighten the drama."
Stars of American Ballet
Daniel Ulbricht's Stars of American Ballet brings together some of today's most remarkable ballet talents. A principal dancer with New York City Ballet since 2007, Ulbricht is lauded as "one of the best male ballet dancers in New York" by Dance Magazine's Wendy Perron. With a cast highlighting principal dancers of New York City Ballet including Sterling Hyltin, Adrian Danchig-Waring, Ask la Cour, Teresa Reichlen, and Ulbricht, this collaborative celebrates the legacy of choreographic legend Jerome Robbins with a program dedicated to his masterpieces, including Suite of Dances, Interplay, Concertino, and more. This engagement coincides with The Boston Symphony Orchestra's Bernstein Centennial Summer at Tanglewood, celebrating the 100th Birthday of American composer Leonard Bernstein, a long-time collaborator with Robbins.

ODC/Dance
San Francisco-based ODC/Dance began as a collective at Oberlin College in 1971 and has since transformed and relocated to become one of the most active centers for dance on the west coast. With four female resident choreographers—Brenda Way, KT Nelson, Kimi Okada, and Kate Weare—this contemporary dance company is widely recognized for its rigorous technique, full-throttle partnering, interdisciplinary collaboration, and musical commissions. "Full-bodied and expansive without being showy or brawny" (The New Yorker), ODC/Dance returns to the Pillow for the first time since 1994, featuring KT Nelson's Dead Reckoning, set to original music by celebrated Kronos Quartet cellist Joan Jeanrenaud and performed amidst a mesmerizing sea of green confetti.
Special Engagements
The Pillow continues to offer a range of special engagements that take place outside the traditional Festival schedule, often in non-traditional theater settings.

June 16, Season Opening Gala
June 21, Pittsfield's Third Thursday
Scottish company Janis Claxton Dance makes its U.S. debut with POP-UP Duets (fragments of love), performed as part of the Season Opening Gala and at Pittsfield's Third Thursdays street festival. POP-UP Duets is a series of five minute, multi-site specific contemporary dance duets, based around the theme of love and designed for a wide range of public spaces. Praised as "a richly inventive, wonderfully perceptive work, danced with a persuasive humanity to a score you want to own" (The Herald), the duets are created by choreographer Janis Claxton with music composed by Pippa Murphy.
Translucent Borders: Cross-cultural collaborations
Translucent Borders will host a three-day residency at Jacob's Pillow, bringing together for the first time its global collaborators from Cuba, Israel, Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, the United States, and Italy, with some artists making their U.S. debuts. The residency will culminate in the debut presentation of intercultural works-in-progress with more than twenty musicians and dancers as part of the Inside/Out Performance Series, June 27. Other activities will be open to the public. Jacob's Pillow was selected as the site for this residency for both its retreat-like setting and its rich history as a force in the cultural exchange of dance.
Translucent Borders is a three-year exploration of intercultural dialogue, practice, and exchange led by New York University (NYU) Tisch Arts Professor, Dr. Andy Teirstein, which focuses on the role of dance and music at geographic, cultural, and economic borders. The project explores the ways in which dancers and musicians act as catalysts for creative engagement across disparate cultures. Translucent Borders began as a Working Group of The NYU Global Institute for Advanced Study in 2015 and has since facilitated global conversations between dance and music artists in Israel, Greece, Cuba, and Ghana through interviews, knowledge-sharing circles, master classes, directed improvisatory lab work, and collaborations.

Monica Bill Barnes & Company's Happy Hour
July 26-Aug 4, Sommers Studio
Monica Bill Barnes & Company turns Sommers Studio into an after-work office party hosted by company member Robbie Saenz de Viteri with a karaoke machine and dime store decor. Dressed in a pair of everyday men's suits, Monica Bill Barnes and Anna Bass hijack the party playing two instantly familiar guys. It's a subversive move, leading audiences to question our expectations of women on stage with a free drink in their hands and microwave popcorn in the air. The New York Times lauds, "like all good happy hours this one has plentiful munchies and libations. And like the best ones, it offers abundant laughter." Happy Hour continues Monica Bill Barnes & Company's mission to bring dance where it doesn't belong.

Invisibility. Telepathy. Telekinesis. We've all seen the movies, read the comics, and watched the TV shows. But what if superpowers were a real world thing? What if everyone was allowed just one ability? Would planet Earth be a better place if it were more like Marvel and DC? Or would a super-powered society be a bad thing?
What If Everyone Had One Superpower?
Every kid growing up has wished that one day they'll discover they have superpowers. And a fairly high number of adults still hope for that same thing. We've all daydreamed about being a powerful superhero, saving people while maintaining our secret identities, trying to lead an ordinary life with extraordinary abilities, and defeating our supervillain nemesis who pops up on occasion. But how realistic is our typically romantic view of super-heroism? Superpowers like we see in comic books and movies obviously don't exist – but despite all the good deeds they enable, should they really be something we should wish for? What kind of a world would it be if everyone was bestowed with one of these miraculous abilities? Would everybody really be a superhero?
The first question is; have these powers always existed in our hypothetical world, or were they granted spontaneously overnight? Depending on the answer, two very different worlds are created. If we were granted powers all together at a particular moment, the fallout would probably be catastrophic, with everybody abandoning their responsibilities in order to learn the ropes of their new capabilities. Of course, there'd be some people, perhaps even most people, who'd use their newfound gifts to help those in need. But, there are bound to be those who instantly exploit them, too – every superhero needs a supervillain, after all. Regardless of the initial onslaught, however, society would eventually recover and settle into a superpowered rhythm of its own.
In "The Incredibles", Syndrome makes the point that, "when everyone's super, no one will be," to explain his plan of distributing advanced weaponry to the public – which would render superheroes superfluous. While Syndrome is the bad guy, in a world where everybody really is granted superpowers they really would become pretty meaningless, as simple traits that some people have, and some people don't. Most superheroes only become "super" when moved from one context to another; DC's Martian Manhunter possesses the exact same abilities as every other Green Martian, and only when he flees the genocide of his people to come to Earth is he viewed as exceptional. Granting everybody superpowers would effectively remove the "super" prefix, rendering them simply "powers", or genetic behaviours – like how some people can roll their tongue while others are double-jointed. Only, some people would be able to fly, while others have telepathy. We obviously don't think of double-jointed people as having a superpower – so the once-amazing flyers and mind-readers would soon feel fairly standard, too. The "Top 10" comics explore this exact theme. They're set in the city of Neopolis, where everybody is a caped crusader of some sort, following the police force as their investigations take a surprisingly familiar turn. In this particular world, crimes like drug dealing, murder, and prostitution are still rife and need investigating, regardless of the presence of powers.
A power hierarchy would almost certainly form itself in any powered-up society. We all know that some superpowers are way cooler than others, an idea explored in the episode of "Misfits" where superpowers are discovered by the media. One guy has "lactokinesis", the ability to control dairy products with his mind, while other characters have A-list powers like immortality or invisibility. While the dairy chap does prove his formidable nature by killing everyone, it doesn't make the power to control milk and cheese any cooler. Some people would win the "superpower lottery" and become god-like entities, like Dr. Manhattan in "Watchmen." Dr. Manhattan's mere presence nearly ends the world as it intensifies Cold War tensions so significantly, leaving humanity in fear of him and what he can do. One "Watchmen" character even says, "God exists, and he's American". The anxiety over the god-like abilities of superheroes is also a driving force behind "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice", as Bruce Wayne despises and fears the existence of Superman, as so many others do. Beings like Dr. Manhattan are vastly more powerful than anybody else on the planet, meaning that superpowers would eventually become a new system of "wealth", able to be exploited.
The elitism that superpowers would create is shown in friendlier terms in "Sky High," where everybody has one power each. Only the main character, Will – who's the son of two especially famous superheroes – has more than one. He's shown to be an exceptional hero because of this. But the school is divided into a binary system of "heroes" and "sidekicks", with students separated and forced to take different classes. While this collapses by the end of the movie and it's proven that even the "sidekicks" can save the world, it still initially shows the bias that there'd be. In a world where not everybody has abilities that they can even really use to defend themselves – maybe you're simply able to create ice cream out of thin air – the horrors of supervillain versus superhero battles would be realized, and many semi-ordinary people would understand why Superman is feared, why the X-Men are feared, and why heroes like Batman and Spider-Man are often blamed for creating the very villains they fight against.
All of these factors combined mean that a world where everybody is granted a superpower would most likely be a bleak dystopia. In all superhero or superpower-centric media, it's the non-powered or lesser-powered people who are still at constant risk from almighty supervillains like Ultron, Thanos, or Nekron. Superhero dystopias are proven through characters like the X-Men, where their only perceived crimes are being born mutants, and all of them face the same fear and revulsion as the actual villains like Magneto. If we do believe that a world of superheroes wouldn't be an ideal one, but one where world-obliterating threats crawl out of the woodwork every other week causing mass destruction before the apparently dwindling numbers of decent folk put an end to it, then perhaps it's a world we should stop imagining.
Instead, it may be more fruitful and fulfilling to take a look at the world we live in now, and the way technology can effectively afford people "super" powers. After all, Batman and Iron Man don't have any actual powers, but they're no less heroic than the divinely gifted Wonder Woman or Thor. There are many superpowers that just wouldn't work within our universe's laws of physics, and one academic named Johnly Cummings argues that we should look to what can be reasonably achieved with technology before trying to scientifically analyse comic books. He more than likely has a point. Specifically, Cummings highlights Cyborg, first envisioned in comic-form in 1980. Cyborg's powers are his technological enhancements, done to repair him after an accident. But cybernetics like this had barely been explored when Cyborg came about. Putting the real development of science into this context creates the interesting question of, what about now? Or in ten years? Or in another forty? In 2060, perhaps, people like Cyborg could well exist, depending on how the development of bionics and prosthetics plays out.
In this way, it's not the powers that make the hero. Syndrome says, "when everyone is super, no one will be," but Mr. Incredible counters with that very point, that it takes more than abilities to truly make somebody into a superhero. Perhaps the question we ask shouldn't be, "What if everyone had a superpower?" but, "What if everyone was a superhero?" If there's anything that comic books, movies and TV shows have taught us, it's that everybody has the potential to be a hero, powers or otherwise. And a world of genuine heroes is far superior to a world of genuine powers.

Alois Brems (* 19. April 1906 in Ziegelhof bei Eichstätt; † 16. Februar 1987 ebenda) war römisch-katholischer Bischof von Eichstätt.

Leben

Alois Brems wurde 1906 als jüngstes von 15 Kindern auf dem Ziegelhof bei Eichstätt geboren. Nach Absolvierung des Humanistischen Gymnasiums in Eichstätt studierte er an der Eichstätter Hochschule katholische Theologie und Philosophie. Am 29. Juni 1930 empfing er – wie bereits einige Jahre zuvor zwei seiner Brüder – das Sakrament der Priesterweihe. Anschließend wirkte er als Kaplan im oberpfälzischen Breitenbrunn und in Schwabach. Von 1932 bis 1935 legte er an der Päpstlichen Universität Gregoriana ein Promotionsstudium ab, an dessen Ende er mit einer Arbeit über die Auslegung und Weiterentwicklung des kirchlichen Gesetzbuches den Doktorgrad im Fach Theologie erwarb. Danach arbeitete er ein Jahr lang als Sekretär der Vermittlungsstelle, die für die Abwicklung des Schriftverkehrs zwischen Rom und allen deutschen Bistümern zuständig ist. Am 1. April 1937 wurde Brems erster Jugendpfarrer in der Diözese Eichstätt. Er gab zusammen mit Ottilie Moßhamer das dreibändige Werk Wort an die Jugend heraus, das für lange Zeit zum Standardwerk für die kirchliche Jugendarbeit wurde. Er leitete das Bischöfliche Jugendamt des Bistums Eichstätt bis 1950 und wurde anschließend Leiter des neugeschaffenen Amtes für Männer- und Frauenseelsorge. Auf seine Initiative hin entstand in Schloss Hirschberg ein breites Angebot im Bereich der Erwachsenenbildung. 1953 wurde Brems zum Domkapitular gewählt. Im Jahre 1966 ernannte ihn Bischof Joseph Schröffer zum Generalvikar.

Als Bischof Schröffer zum Sekretär der Kongregation für das Katholische Bildungswesen nach Rom berufen wurde und darum das Bischofsamt in Eichstätt niederlegte, wurde Alois Brems zunächst zum kommissarischen Leiter der Diözese bestimmt. Am 28. Mai 1968 ernannte ihn Papst Paul VI. zum Bischof von Eichstätt. Die Bischofsweihe spendete ihm am 6. Juli 1968 der spätere Kardinal Joseph Schröffer; Mitkonsekratoren waren Rudolf Graber, der Bischof von Regensburg, und Friedrich Wetter, der Bischof von Speyer. Sein Wahlspruch war: "Inmitten der Seinen, wie einer, der dient". In seine Amtszeit fiel der Umbau und die Renovierung des Eichstätter Domes von 1971 bis 1975. Als im Jahre 1980 die Theologische Hochschule von Eichstätt zur Katholischen Universität erhoben wurde, war dies auch ein wesentliches Verdienst Brems, der sich als Bischof nachhaltig um deren Ausbau und Förderung bemüht hatte.

1983 wurde das Rücktrittsgesuch Brems vom Vatikan angenommen und er wurde zum Apostolischen Administrator von Eichstätt ernannt. Ein Jahr später wurde Karl Braun von Papst Johannes Paul II. zum Bischof von Eichstätt ernannt.

Alois Brems starb am 16. Februar 1987 im Alter von 80 Jahren. Sein Grab befindet sich im Dom zu Eichstätt.

Vertuschung von sexuellem Missbrauch
Während der Amtszeit von Bischof Alois Brems half die Leitung des Bistums Eichstätt – Brems und enge Mitarbeiter – einem mit schweren Missbrauchsvorwürfen belasteten und mit Haftbefehl gesuchten Priester, der in den 1960er-Jahren in mehreren Pfarreien in der Oberpfalz, im Schwäbischen und im nördlichen Oberbayern Mädchen und junge Frauen missbraucht hatte, in Afrika und ab 1973 in Brasilien abzutauchen, wo er unter falschem Namen als Missionar tätig und vor Strafverfolgung geschützt war. Die Bistumsleitung informierte die staatlichen Behörden nicht und trug zur Tarnung des Mannes bei, dem Priester wurde auch im Ausland vom Bistum Eichstätt weiter Unterstützung gezahlt.

Ein nach ihm benannter Preis, der "Bischof-Alois-Brems-Preis", wurde von 2012 bis 2019 jährlich von der Jugendstiftung der Diözese Eichstätt für "innovative und originelle Projekte der kirchlichen Jugendarbeit" verliehen. Nach den Enthüllungen über Brems' Beteiligung an der Vertuschung beschloss die Jugendstiftung im Oktober 2022, den Preis unter diesem Namen nicht mehr zu vergeben.

AARP AARP States Volunteering
AARP Florida Trains Leaders for Community Success
By Ajla Subasic , March 06, 2014 02:31 PM
AARP Florida Executive Council member, Larry Dixon, at his graduation.
Many adults 50+, have dreams of leading their communities to greater heights, and for AARP Florida Executive Council member Larry Dixon, of Jacksonville, that dream became a reality when he graduated from AARP's rigorous year-long training program, the Volunteer Leadership Institute.
The institute was launched in 2012 by AARP's Office of Volunteerism and Service, as an initiative to mobilize and motivate highly skilled AARP volunteers into becoming greater leaders, ultimately increasing AARP's ability to influence and create positive change through community engagement.
"I never could have imagined having such a wonderful, life-changing opportunity," Dixon said. "The Volunteer Leadership Institute is about bringing people together and enhancing the quality of life for all seniors in our communities."
Dixon is one of 23 students to graduate from AARP's first Volunteer Leadership Institute class. The students come from a variety of backgrounds, from across the nation, all sharing one thing in common. They are all great leaders.
"The Volunteer Leadership Institute added on to the foundation that was already there, but in a major way," said Dixon. "Much of what we learned was about ourselves, which allowed us to utilize our strengths and to become better community leaders."
AARP Florida first began training leaders in 2010 with DESTINO, a leadership-building academic program that prepares leaders from multicultural communities, to become affective communicators and engaging community members, who create positive social change. What began as an attendance of 55 students has grown greatly to 230 in 2013, and is continuously growing, bringing in students from all walks of life.
While many organizations train volunteers to accomplish their own group's mission, the Volunteer Leadership Institute and Destino focus on training volunteers to excel in their local communities by allowing them to take their personal skills and develop them into something much greater.
"Our vision is to be an ally for real possibilities for all Americans 50+," said Ivonne Fernandez, AARP Florida's Associate State Director for Multicultural Outreach. "When we nurture volunteer leaders, it's like throwing a pebble into a pond. The ripples of community engagement and leadership spread. So we are making progress toward our vision, even if those leaders aren't AARP volunteers. What we do, we do for all."
The Volunteer Leadership Institute is unique in that it allows for participants to begin the program by selecting which leadership track they wish to improve on. Throughout the year, the participants work closely together with Institute faculty, state and national office staff members and with other volunteers to develop strategic plans on how to improve in their chosen area.
"The Volunteer Leadership Institute gives you self-confidence to be able to go into a community and make a difference based on the skills you acquired," said Dixon. "Most importantly it gives you self-confidence and motivation to help further AARP's agenda, which is a higher quality of life for all people."

A high performance alternative to batteries is being developed that could give electric vehicles the same range as petrol engined vehicles, and could be recharged in the same time that its takes to fill a regular car with petrol.
The work on very high energy density supercapacitors is being carried out by Surrey University and Augmented Optics in collaboration with Bristol University.
Supercapacitors are already being used in buses in China, but they have a very limited range.
Supercapacitors have the ability to charge and discharge rapidly over very large numbers of cycles. But, because of their poor energy density (about one twentieth of existing battery technology), they have, until now, been unable to compete with conventional battery energy storage in many applications.
This new technology, which has been adapted from the principles used to make soft contact lenses, offers a much higher energy density. The researchers reckon this technology is between 1,000 and 10,000 times more powerful than a supercapacitor.
The research is being conducted at Surrey University's Department of Chemistry where the project was initiated by Dr Donald Highgate of Augmented Optics Ltd. The research team was co-led by the principal investigators Dr Ian Hamerton and Dr Brendan Howlin.
Hamerton continues to collaborate on the project in his new post at the University of Bristol, where the electrochemical testing to trial the research findings was carried out by fellow University of Bristol academic – David Fermin, Professor of Electrochemistry in the School of Chemistry.
The materials being used are based on large organic molecules composed of many repeated sub-units and bonded together to form a 3-dimensional network.

Indiana is a novel about love and marriage written by Amantine Aurore Dupin; it was the first work she published under her pseudonym George Sand. Published in April 1832, the novel blends the conventions of romanticism, realism and idealism. As the novel is set partly in France and partly in the French colony of Réunion, Sand had to base her descriptions of the colony, where she had never been, on the travel writing of her friend Jules Néraud.

Summary

Indiana is the story's heroine, a young noblewoman descended from French colonial settlers from
Île Bourbon (now Réunion) and currently living in France. Indiana is married to an older ex-army officer named Colonel Delmare and suffers from a variety of unknown illnesses, presumably due to the lack of passion in her life. Indiana does not love Delmare and searches for someone who will love her passionately. She overlooks her cousin Ralph, who lives with her and the colonel. As it turns out, Ralph is in love with Indiana.

When their young, handsome, and well-spoken neighbor, Raymon de Ramière, declares his interest to Indiana, she falls in love with him. Raymon has already seduced Indiana's maid, Noun, who is pregnant with his child. When Noun finds out what is going on, she drowns herself.

Indiana's husband decides that they will move to Île Bourbon. Indiana escapes the house to faithfully present herself in Raymon's apartments in the middle of the night, expecting him to accept her as his mistress in spite of society's inevitable condemnation. He at first attempts to seduce her but, on failing, rejects her once and for all. He cannot bear the thought that her will is stronger than his and writes her a letter intended to make her fall in love with him again, even though he has no intention of requiting this love.

Indiana has moved to the Island with the Colonel by the time she reads the letter. She resists the letter but finally returns to France on a perilous sea journey. When she arrives in Paris, the French Revolution of 1830 is taking place. In the meantime, Raymon has made an advantageous marriage and bought Indiana's house, where he and his wife live.

The stoic and remote Sir Ralph, whom Indiana has always seen as an 'égoiste', suddenly comes to rescue her and tell her that Colonel Delmare has died from a fever. Indiana and Ralph decide to commit suicide together by jumping into a waterfall on the Île Bourbon. But on the way home, they fall in love. Just before the suicide, they declare their love for one another and pledge that they will be married in Heaven. At the end of the novel comes a conclusion, a young adventurer's account of finding a man and woman, Ralph and Indiana, living on an isolated farm on the Island.

Themes
The novel deals with many typical nineteenth-century novelistic themes. These include adultery, social constraint, and unfulfilled longing for romantic love. The novel is an exploration of nineteenth-century female desire complicated by class constraints and by social codes about infidelity. In another sense, the novel critiques the laws around women's equality in France. Indiana cannot leave her husband, Colonel Delmare, because she lacks the protection of the law: under the Napoleonic Code, women could not obtain property, claim ownership of their children, or divorce. Finally, the novel touches on the subordination of the colonies to the French Empire.

Main characters
Indiana Delmare - young, attractive noblewoman trapped in a loveless marriage of convenience
Sir Ralph - Indiana's cousin and potential suitor
Raymon de Ramière - a handsome heartless young rake who ends up being a lover of Noun and Indiana, a practical seeker of wealth.
Colonel Delmare - Indiana's husband
Noun - lady's maid to Indiana, formerly grew up with her on the Ile de Reunion
Madame de Ramière - Raymon's mother, a social schemer who tries to find a way to marry Indiana and Raymon

I'm a pilot – who never flies. That's not quite true. I am a licensed private pilot – something I had always wanted to do but I'm finding that time and money never seem to intersect in ways that allow me to enjoy much of it. My brother is an Airline Transport Pilot – so occasionally I find some time to go flying with him.
I take pictures too. One of my attempts to make some money is taking pictures. My IStockPhoto profile has got a few of the things that I've published. I take the camera with me most places these days and try to disprove the belief that taking digital pictures doesn't cost anything. If you take enough of them you have to have a budget for the DVD archival of them.
I recently mounted a laser illuminator to an air rifle. I have two dogs that are not able to climb trees and get squirrels – and the squirrels know it. I've decided to even the odds a bit (or tip the balance of power you decide.) I don't yet have a good kill ratio but I've definitely reduced the amount of time that the squirrels sit in the trees and bark. And yes, I know that an air rifle doesn't have any accuracy so mounting a laser illuminator to it is like trying to strap a rocket to a Pinto.
I've forgotten what I've written. There's been more than one occasion where I've went looking for information and one of the links that came up was one of my own articles. I used to get annoyed now I am just glad I can find it so I can move on and do something else. Most of what I've written or edited is either in my MVP profile or on my book listing.

Share All sharing options for: Estelle's Owners Will Unveil Another 4 a.m. Bar in Bucktown on Saturday
Friends and family on Thursday night got a sneak peek inside Remedy, the new late-night bar officially opening on Saturday in Bucktown. Between Western, Milwaukee and Ashland avenues, it's the area's sixth 4 a.m. bar. The bar's owners, Four Entertainment Group, own another den of late-night mistakes, Estelle's, located less than a mile southeast of Remedy, also on Milwaukee.
Though ownership hasn't confirmed, it's a good bet the bar will be open for another test run Friday night, at least for friends and family. Though they possess a late-night license that allows them to remain open until 5 a.m. on Sunday, owners have said they want to appeal to more than industry workers getting of work late and those wanting to keep the party going into the wee hours.
It's been a two-year process to open the place. Four Entertainment Group, also owns aliveOne in Lincoln Park, The Owl in Logan Square (also a 4 a.m. bar) and Easy Bar in Wicker Park. They have offices in Cincinnati and own nine bars in Ohio.
Besides Estelle's, other late-night bar options in the area include Nick's Beer Garden, The Flat Iron, Shambles and evilOlive. Time to add another one to the rotation. Remedy officially opens Saturday.
Remedy, 1910 N. Milwaukee Ave., (773) 698-7715, open from 4 p.m. to 4 a.m. Sunday through Friday; 4 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Saturday.

Increasing Suicides In India : Seek Help By Calling Toll Free Helpline Number

Suicide Is Not An option. Be Someone's Saving Grace.
By Tanvi Kaushik2 min read
It is mostly said that Suicide is not an option; It is a decision—a wrong decision 230314 people made over their life. In 2016 the number of Suicides in India had increased up to 230,314. Suicide is the most common cause of death in the age groups of 15–29 years and 15–39 years. About 800,000 people lost their lives to suicide worldwide every year.
Estimates for the number of suicides in India vary. For example, a study published in The Lancet projected 187,000 suicides in India in 2010, while India's Government's official data claims 134,600 suicides in the same year. However, World Health Organization data says the age-standardized suicide rate in India is 16.4 per 100,000 for females that is 6th highest in the world and 25.8 for men that are ranking 22nd worldwide.
The most prevalent cause of suicide is Bankruptcy or indebtedness; around 2,308 people choose to take their own like because they were unable to pay their debts. However, It was not the bankruptcy that forced them to give up their life; It was the dread of the humiliation they had to face.
The number of suicides has increased in the lockdown months as the economy stood still for more than 70 days. The number of suicides has increased in the lockdown months as the economy stood still for more than 70 days. Employees were served with their termination letters; Daily waged workers lost their only income source; Banks are sinking in the waves of bad loans.
Economic Suicide
On 30th March 2020, Thomas Schaefer, The Finance Minister of Hesse state Germany; Has committed suicide apparently after becoming deeply worried over how to cope with the economic fallout from the coronavirus.
Whereas Germany, with the most robust economy in the European Union. The European Union's strongest pillar is Germany's concrete economy; However, now it is a matter of distress that the world's most integrated Union's democrats are giving up their life, by losing hope to see a boon in the economy.
The other major reasons that lead people to take their own lives are marriage-related issues that include Non-settlement of marriage, Dowry-related issues, extramarital affairs, etc. Data says around 6773 people have taken their lives because they were unhappy in their married lives.
Some of the reports say it is due to the counselors' high consultancy rates and the therapists that anyone can't afford. And mental health still seems to be taboo; People feel ashamed when they are suggested to seek help. Mental Health is as important as physical health. Being mentally sick is as dangerous as cancer, and it is no shame to seek help for the same.
One of the reasons for an increasing number of suicides is Failure In Examinations. Indian parents tend to build pressure on their children for academic excellence; however, every child at a fragile age look up to their parents for personal validation. And when they witness that their parents are unhappy because of their poor academic performance, they tend to see themselves as a failure and develop a negative self approach.
More than 2,403 children have given up on life because they consider themselves as a failure.
India's Battle With Suicides
The Indian Government is regulating its policies to help Indians dethrone their suicidal thoughts. The Government is setting up free counseling camps where anyone can walk in freely and discuss their problems with a licensed therapist. The Supreme Court of India has decriminalized The attempt to suicide, which was a criminal offense before the amendment. Indian Government has assigned a toll-free helpline number as Jeewan Astha Helpline Number: 1800 233 3330.
Every life is precious. Suicide is not an option. Everyone deserves to be saved.

We've discussed the strengths/weaknesses theory previously, but how does it work best in an organisation?
One's management of one's strengths and weaknesses is critical in managing one's self and career.
Most people don't quite know what their weaknesses are, let alone their strengths. Identifying them through self-analysis and feedback-analysis is an important starting point. Doing this early in one's life is also advantageous.
The second step is to find the key performance in the core competence. In other words, how do we best exploit our key strengths.
For example, I personally have a strength in computer programming. It is something I've studied and worked on. However, whilst it is one of my strengths it is not my greatest strength. More importantly, it is not an area where I perform the best either. I am far better at doing other things.
A common trap in the competence discussion is ignoring that people have multiple strengths and more importantly not extending the analysis to their area of greatest performance.
Finally, we must move to results. This responsibility lies more with the organisation than the individual, and particularly with management.
It is the manager's responsiblity to ensure people find themselves in roles where they peak perform to their greatest strengths for the benefit of the organisation.
A manager must maximise results by harnessing an individual's performance. Doing so is beneficial to the organisation and the individual. Ongoing communication of this is also critical.
For only when an individual finds a sense of purpose from achieving results personally and for the organisation will the performance loop be complete.
Understanding one's greatest contribution and the results from it ensures satisfaction for one's work.

View Full Version : How to Make Emissive Plane Hidden from camera, reflection.
Hi, I have a scene where i need a large Emissive Plane to be use as a fill light. But the problem is When i faded that plane the reflection still can see the emissive plane. If i chose hidden the light and the reflection gone. Any idea i can have the light on but don't want the camera and reflection to see the emissive plane? sorry for my poor english.
djingga - This is not possible within iray. Planes can only be blocked by primary rays so the emissive plane will also show up in a reflection and the effects (lighting/shadowing) from a plane are also always visible. You could accomplish what you are trying to do with two passes. Render one pass with the emissive plane enabled, then another pass with the plane disabled and in photoshop, mask the area the plane reflects with the rendering of the surface without the plane.

Q: How to expose more than one API in Azure AD B2C App registration? I am wondering, is it possible to expose more than one API in Azure AD B2C App registration?

A: You cannot. Each API is represented by an App Registration, so if you have many APIs, each needs an App Reg. the App Reg can expose permissions (scopes) in respect to the API it represents.
