The democratic surround : multimedia & American liberalism from World War II to the psychedelic sixties
Turner, Fred, author.
World War II and the making of the democratic surround -- Where did all the fascists come from? -- World War II and the question of national character -- The new language of vision -- The new landscape of sound -- The democratic surround in the Cold War -- The Cold War and the democratic personality -- The museum of modern art makes the world a family -- Therapeutic nationalism -- The coming of the counterculture.
We commonly think of the psychedelic sixties as an explosion of creative energy and freedom that arose in direct revolt against the social restraint and authoritarian hierarchy of the early Cold War years. Yet, as Fred Turner reveals in The Democratic Surround, the decades that brought us the Korean War and communist witch hunts also witnessed an extraordinary turn toward explicitly democratic, open, and inclusive ideas of communication and with them new, flexible models of social order. Surprisingly, he shows that it was this turn that brought us the revolutionary multimedia and wild-eyed individualism of the 1960s counterculture. In this prequel to his celebrated book From Counterculture to Cyberculture, Turner rewrites the history of postwar America, showing how in the 1940s and {u2019}50s American liberalism offered a far more radical social vision than we now remember. Turner tracks the influential mid-century entwining of Bauhaus aesthetics with American social science and psychology. From the Museum of Modern Art in New York to the New Bauhaus in Chicago and Black Mountain College in North Carolina, Turner shows how some of the most well-known artists and intellectuals of the forties developed new models of media, new theories of interpersonal and international collaboration, and new visions of an open, tolerant, and democratic self in direct contrast to the repression and conformity associated with the fascist and communist movements. He then shows how their work shaped some of the most significant media events of the Cold War, including Edward Steichen{u2019}s Family of Man exhibition, the multimedia performances of John Cage, and, ultimately, the psychedelic Be-Ins of the sixties. Turner demonstrates that by the end of the 1950s this vision of the democratic self and the media built to promote it would actually become part of the mainstream, even shaping American propaganda efforts in Europe. Overturning common misconceptions of these transformational years, The Democratic Surround shows just how much the artistic and social radicalism of the sixties owed to the liberal ideals of Cold War America, a democratic vision that still underlies our hopes for digital media today.

We commonly think of the psychedelic sixties as an explosion of creative energy and freedom that arose in direct revolt against the social restraint and authoritarian hierarchy of the early Cold War years.

United U19s Players Searching Forward To Borussia Dortmund Test 28 February 2022 Manchester United
by rdrweb · December 14, 2022
Lionel Messi lurks just 15 objectives behind him and is likely to play a large part in PSG's European campaign this season. The 37-year-old is keen to play another season of Champions League football to secure his record as the tournament's highest ever scorer, with United only qualifying for the Europa League this term. Regardless of its goalless scoreline, the match wasn't without the need of incident as each goalkeepers have been referred to as into action on many occasions, including Gregor Kobel denying Riyad Mahrez from the penalty spot.
The Vatreni created it to the finale of the worldwide competition in 2018 against France and will hope to move one particular step additional if they can make it previous Lionel Messi and co. If Jude Bellingham has been one of the mainstream stars of the Planet Cup, then alongside him is USA midfielder Yunus Musah. Lesser known than his England counterpart, Musah was equally as vital for his personal side in the tournament before being knocked out by the Netherlands in the final-16. Match officials remaining in Qatar for the remaining 4 matches of the World Cup have been decided as England vs France referee Wilton Sampaio stays in the tournament. The Brazilian was heavily criticised just after the 3 Lions crashed out on Saturday evening, with Gary Neville and Harry Maguire each stating their frustration. Chelsea lost 1- in a friendly to Aston Villa in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, in which Armando Broja suffered what is feared to be a serious knee injury.
A clash of egos in between Guardiola and Ibrahimovic as nicely as the presence of Messi, who preferred to play centrally, probably had been the components behind that partnership breakdown. It took Sergio Aguero some time to adapt to playing under Guardiola, to carrying out far more of the dirty work when it comes to harrying defenders, closing off passing lanes and tracking back. Then there's the relentless pressing that Guardiola will demand of Haaland, a side to the game that the striker carries out at Dortmund but nevertheless may well not come naturally to him. Dortmund may be a single of the finest teams in Germany but it had a porous defense, so opponents didn't just sit back — they tried to maintain their attacking solutions open. Erling Haaland is being depicted as these items — and a lot of a lot more — now that the striker is seemingly on his way to the English Premier League champions in a blockbuster move. 'In the course of intensive medical examinations, a tumour was finally found in the testicles for the duration of the course of the day.
Süle will undoubtedly have a crucial function to play if Borussia Dortmund are to implement those big ambitions in the coming seasons. Süle will bring his title-winning know-how to Borussia Dortmund, getting helped Bayern Munich win 5 Bundesliga titles, the UEFA Champions League and two DFB-Pokal titles through his 5 seasons with the club. The 26 year old attracted the interest of a quantity of significant clubs, but he was quickly impressed by Borussia Dortmund's plans for the next four years. New Borussia Dortmund signing Niklas Süle believes that they have what it requires to overcome the challenge of Bayern Munich and win the Bundesliga title subsequent season.
The duo have directly contributed to 14 of their side's 16 league objectives so far this season. In the meantime, even though, Union have three domestic games to concentrate on, beginning with a difficult test against Dortmund in what is becoming billed as 'Super Sunday,' provided that Freiburg and Bayern Munich also face each other later in the day. The Foals are at the moment in the middle of a rebuild below former Borussia Dortmund U-23s coach Daniel Farke. They suffered a shock defeat away to VfL Bochum on Tuesday, but have a single of the finest sneak a peek at this web-site home records in the league this season. Der Klassiker may well not be a derby in the standard sense, but it is surely the most significant game in Germany appropriate now. Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have been the prime two teams in the league for over a decade now, and their clash ordinarily has huge implications for the title race.
It's an international friendly that should really be nothing at all short of wunderbar. It is expected to be competitive, and a good chance for the MNUFC to test themselves against a new opponent with a new style of play. With the Loons coming off of international break, and quite a few players returning from their respective national teams, it's a fantastic time for a friendly to get the boys back in the ideal headspace prior to they start out the remainder of their season. Now, wir stellen Ihnen Paderborn vor…or, in English, let us introduce you to Paderborn. When I was nevertheless playing football, I was so busy and did not have the time to come back to take a look at a game or anything.
They won 4 Bundesliga games in a row – seeing off Freiburg, Mainz, Stuttgart and Schalke – with only a respectable 2-1 defeat to Juventus in Europe to dampen spirits. "I assume it's completely normal for questions to be asked about the attitude of my group. You can list all the missing players, but so what? You still have 11, never you? For me, this is a phase as a coach in which I just have to perform harder." Jurgen Klopp's renowned Borussia Dortmund side is one of the most iconic teams in recent memory. They emerged as a genuine European powerhouse, so much so that their enormous decline in Klopp's final season at the club nearly slips under the radar. Just after starting the season with four defeats across all competitions, Bayer Leverkusen ultimately kicked into gear, beating Mainz three-. Becker scored again ideal after the interval to leave Schalke coach Frank Kramer rubbing his chin on the sideline.
The arrival of Germany international Karim Adeyemi was the first aid on the way to filling the void. The pacy 20-year-old has currently verified his worth at Red Bull Salzburg by having 18 objectives and seven assists in 30 appearances final season. Dortmund have had their setbacks in the league under the boyhood Dortmund fan, but they are nevertheless only four points behind league leaders Union Berlin following 11 games.
The significance of Gio Reyna's return from the sidelines has only been magnified that much further in light of the other-worldly injury crisis that the club presently finds itself in. A summer season that featured new signings across every area of the pitch should really be regarded as a good results in regard to Sebastian Kehl's inaugural showing in the function of Sporting Director. With the Pole in the starting line-up after informing the club of his want to leave and not extend his contract that runs out subsequent year, Bayern had been in handle from the commence.
And really should he make the move from Dortmund to the English leading flight, he would do so with a glowing recommendation from Erling Haaland. The Manchester City superstar created the similar journey in the course of the summer window and has hit the ground operating in emphatic style. Haaland played alongside Moukoko and is in no doubt of the talent Chelsea could obtain if they pull the trigger.
That will be kept beneath critique and expires on Might 31, or when Abramovich sells Chelsea — whichever comes sooner — and there is hope at Stamford Bridge that all three can be retained for subsequent season and beyond. PSG have not offered up hope of retaining the France international and the club sporting director Leonardo not too long ago stated they would do "anything feasible" to hold the player. On the other hand, Dembele appears to be content at Lyon, sources say, and he would probably be searching at a squad part rather than a starting spot in Manchester. Erling Haaland is just about the most wanted man in football, and The Everyday Mail reports that Manchester City now have a deal in spot to sign the Borussia Dortmund frontman. The group has produced wonderful modifications for a new season, so far, they have created 7 additions, with Haji Wright, Sam Larson and Ömer Toprak becoming the most prominent. The Antalyaspor group will seek to be a single of the protagonists in the Süper Lig in search of qualifying for a UEFA championship.

If you're a small business owner and you're registered for GST, you'll know that you are required to lodge a Business Activity Statement (BAS) every month or quarter. This can be a time-consuming and sometimes confusing process; so for those who are new to it, here are some tips and tricks for how to complete your BAS as accurately and quickly as possible.
Your BAS must be lodged by the 21st of each month if you pay monthly, or the 28th of October, February, April, and July if you pay quarterly. If you are late lodging your BAS you can be charged $110 for every 28 days, or part thereof, that your BAS is late.
You can lodge your BAS online, by post, by phone, or through your accountant.
In order to prepare your BAS as efficiently as possible and save yourself time, it's important to check some vital areas where people often make mistakes.
1. Make sure you are using the correct tax codes. You'll need to set these up on your accounting software, so it's advisable to get your accountant or a BAS agent to check them before you start using your software.
2. Make sure you know what expenses and sales you can claim GST against, as some items are not eligible.
3. Remember to include ALL sales and purchases. If they have been paid in cash, you need to include them and keep receipts as proof. Sales of capital, including vehicles or office equipment, also need to be included, even if it was a trade-in.
4. If you employ staff, you need to complete the W1 and W2 sections of the BAS. Wages must be included in W1, not as an expense in G11.
If you choose the right GST reporting option, you can simply pay a GST instalment each quarter, without having to do any calculations. You can calculate your GST amounts when you lodge your tax return at the end of the year.
Stay up to date! ATO rules and expectations can change, so you can save yourself time by actually reading the information they send out with your BAS!

Cross-border police scheme to be disbanded
PUBLISHED: 15:02 29 September 2006 | UPDATED: 19:49 01 June 2010
A PIONEERING cross-border policing initiative set up with £600,000 of Home Office funding in the wake of the Tony Martin case is set to be disbanded, it was revealed this week. The Fens project, which was set up in 2001, in the aftermath of the Fenland fa
A PIONEERING cross-border policing initiative set up with £600,000 of Home Office funding in the wake of the Tony Martin case is set to be disbanded, it was revealed this week.
The Fens project, which was set up in 2001, in the aftermath of the Fenland farmer's trial for shooting dead a burglar and wounding his accomplice, aimed to boost cross-border co-operation between Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire constabularies.
But the project, which was later named the Fens Intelligence Unit, will now be disbanded because the three forces believe there are now a number of other similar initiatives already in place effectively doing the same job.
Lincolnshire pulled out of the initiative in March and following recent talks Norfolk and Cambridgeshire have now also decided to call it a day.
North East Cambridgeshire MP Malcolm Moss said there should have been more consultation and discussion over the future of the unit.
He said: "I understand the funding ceased in 2003, but the three county forces agreed to keep it going.
"This is a very important issue locally and this potentially could be a bad thing."
Det Chief Insp Simon Constant, central division crime manager, said: "The Fens intelligence unit was an excellent initiative set up for a specific purpose six years ago. During that time, the methods of delivering the necessary policing response have developed hugely with new intelligence functions being established to focus on cross border crime.
"Another dedicated team, the Rural Crime Action Team (RCAT) has been set up tackling crime affecting the more rural communities and now specific neighbourhood policing teams are in place dealing with crime and community issues on a local level."
He added: "In taking the decision to disband the Fens intelligence unit, residents can rest assured that it will not lessen the level of service they receive.


Ever felt lonely while building your empire? Need some more babes to hype you up with your side-hustles? Well, perhaps Sapphire Bates has the answer for you with her sisterhood of witches – introducing 'The Coven Girl Gang' – a newsletter, online community and a coinciding Facebook group dedicated to supporting and championing women with creative businesses.
A self-described "tattooed, Bill Murray and flower obsessed woman", Sapphire runs her own business alongside this new creative network; a floristry business titled 'The Flower Arranger' where unique arrangements meet flowers with sass. As someone who is already a part of the Facebook group, I can only describe Sapphire as someone with grit, determination and a can-do attitude. It was immediately clear to me that I wanted to ask her more about herself and her "hustles". I hope you can learn something from her – this gal know knows what she's talking about!
Hey Sapphire! Okay, firstly, you're a super BUSY bee. Can you tell me a little bit about yourself and all of your hustles?
Hey! OK, so asides from busy… I'm Sapphire, I'm 23 and I do a few different things that combined together make up my 'job'. My main business The Flower Arranger is now two – I can't believe that is how long it has been going for, it doesn't feel like that long.
I run a community with women called The Coven which supports powerful and creative women in business. We have a newsletter that goes with it which I write that champions these women through interviews and articles.
Even busier than I thought! I'm part of 'The Coven' and I was blown away by the amount of support within the group. What inspired you to set it up?
Two main things led me to create The Coven. Loneliness – starting a business can feel so lonely, you can spend days on end on your own only talking to your dog. The Coven creates a space where women can openly chat about what they are up too, the good and the bad. It is nice to have somewhere to go when all your friends are down the pub or out for dinner and you are stuck indoors working on your hustle.
Secondly, the need for knowledge to be shared. Creative people are often so focused on the art they are creating or the creative element of the business that they are passionate about that they avoid the business side – because it's boring or scary. It is some important to learn these business skills, things like accounting, marketing, managing staff, scaling a business – the list is endless. The more you know the further you can take your business.
It's lovely to see women supporting other women and one of 'The Coven' guidelines basically disallows any form of criticism that isn't constructive. I also talk a lot about positivity creating opportunities. How important do you think positive vibes are in business?
Really important. I strongly believe in the law of attraction… you attract what you want. So if you think and act negatively you are literally allowing negative things to come into your life.
Positive vibes will bring good things your way. Some witches believe that whatever you put out into the world comes back to you threefold so with that in mind the more you support others and help where you can then more will come back to you.
'The Coven' allows for virtual conversation but also provides opportunities for gals to meet up in real life. Any exciting plans for 2018 that potential members could attend?
So many exciting things coming in 2018. Membership is set to launch in March and from there we will launch the #businessbabe campaign. A series of exciting panel talks and workshops to help you build your business. I can't say too much just yet.
As well as all of this, you've also set up a newsletter featuring inspiring women in business and articles written by members. What do you think is the key to a good newsletter and ensuring people actually hit the subscribe button?
Because it is my own newsletter I find it hard to say why it works – people read it is all I can really say. If somebody else asked me about their newsletter I would say strong content is key – make sure you really know what your newsletter is about and what your readers want from it. There is no point writing about cars twice a month if your readers aren't interested in cars. They say a newsletter should be: Give, Give, Give, Ask, Give, Give, Give. Give your readers things, information they want, answers to their questions, free stuff just for them and only sell to them on occasion – that isn't why they read your newsletter.
I'm still massively learning with this one – I've never written a newsletter before and I'm taking notes as I go!
And finally, where do you see 'The Coven' going in the future?
Worldwide! I'm not sure how far The Coven will go but I hope that I can continue to connect with lots of amazing women and help as many as possible to grow their businesses.
PREACH! If you feel like you could do with joining an empowering girl gang you can join The Coven on facebook here. Just ensure you answer the questions so they know who you are!

GE talks up SPECT performance at European nuclear medicine meeting
Visitors to June's Society of Nuclear Medicine meeting in Philadelphia may have glimpsed the future of SPECT imaging with news of systems from Philips and Siemens that marry multislice CT and SPECT (DI SCAN 6/28/04). But it takes two modalities to build a hybrid, and while GE Healthcare's own offering still relies on single-slice CT technology, the company is ramping up the metabolic imaging end of its SPECT/CT system.
Visitors to June's Society of Nuclear Medicine meeting in Philadelphia may have glimpsed the future of SPECT imaging with news of systems from Philips and Siemens that marry multislice CT and SPECT (DI SCAN 6/28/04). But it takes two modalities to build a hybrid, and while GE Healthcare's own offering still relies on single-slice CT technology, the company is ramping up the metabolic imaging end of its SPECT/CT system.
GE introduced the Infinia nuclear medicine system at last year's SNM meeting. The single-head gamma camera was designed to incorporate features common to dual-head cameras, coupling maximum flexibility in scanning position with high throughput. GE has now upgraded its flagship product to further enhance workflow in response to customer feedback, said Pascale Witz, general manager of functional and molecular imaging for GE Healthcare International.
"Productivity is one of the critical parameters that our customers are looking for, and this has improved even more compared with what we had on the first release of Infinia," Witz said, speaking from the European Association of Nuclear Medicine's annual congress in Helsinki, Finland, where the system made its European debut earlier this month.
New features on the next-generation Infinia include fanbeam collimation for enhanced SPECT brain scanning efficiency and resolution and a camera-based PET option for extended clinical utility. Revised detector design will permit scanning in more patient positions, while an intuitive camera-controlled graphic user interface is expected to enhance productivity. GE's Ignite feature, available through its integrated Xeleris workstation, gives operators a single-click scan-and-review option.
GE is also equipping the latest release Infinia with SmartStep technology. This adjustable acquisition step is intended to improve CT axial resolution when Infinia is linked with GE's four-year-old Hawkeye hybrid imaging technology to offer a SPECT/CT solution.
The upgraded Infinia Hawkeye remains sufficiently accurate to aid anatomic localization of metabolic SPECT information but not to provide stand-alone diagnostic CT data. And for the time being, this is enough, according to Witz.
"We have been in the market for hybrid imaging for several years. This brings even more credibility to our hybrid imaging technology," she said. "From a clinical point of view, Infinia Hawkeye can perform all the SPECT clinical examinations that you want, and this is demonstrated by the 450-plus sites around that world that are using it."
Next-generation Infinia and Infinia Hawkeye configurations are ready to ship worldwide. GE is already in the process of installing models in Europe, Asia, and North America. The system is likely to be showcased again at the November RSNA meeting, although the company has yet to finalize details of its Chicago display, Witz said. She also declined to comment on whether GE's future offerings might include multislice SPECT/CT, as those of its rivals will.
"We know that hybrid imaging is providing the localization information that adds a lot of value to the SPECT data, so we will keep on working on new technology, on both the SPECT and the Hawkeye sides," she said. "If we find that there are some needs or a clinical application that needs more development, we will certainly go in that direction."

In recent months, the war between anti-vaxxers and vaxxers has raged on with the outbreak of Measles throughout the United States. In Michigan, the outbreak has spread throughout Oakland and Wayne counties. While measles vaccinations aren't required for attendance at Grand Valley State University, many students, faculty and staff are urging Lakers to get their vaccines.
The conclusion of the semester is drawing closer, and so students at Grand Valley State University are thinking ahead. For students who are gearing up for their first job after graduation, factors such as location, compensation and benefits are considered before accepting any offers. In light of Equal Pay Day on April 2, students should also take into consideration whether or not their potential employers are transparent about how they pay employees.
President Donald J. Trump's recent visit to Grand Rapids exemplified one of the great things about American democracy: the opportunity to openly express one's ideas. From supporters to protesters alike, Grand Rapids civilians took to the streets to make their opinions known. While some folks may have been there to ruffle some feathers, most attendees conformed peacefully at the rally. The recent era of protesting policies and political figures has sparked conversations across the globe about what it means to be an active citizen.
Safety first: Why have GVSU's security cameras taken this long?
As Grand Valley State University prepares to shell out $3 million to add at least 1,000 exterior cameras to its various campuses, several questions should be on the community's mind. How has campus security been affected by a lack in surveillance and infrastructure? How long has GVSU's security been behind 'where it needs to be'?
While Women's History Month is indeed a time to look back and celebrate those who have brought our society forward, it is also a time to push for the advancement of women today. Grand Valley State University is one institution that elected to do just that when selecting Philomena Mantella as the next president of GVSU, the first woman president of the university. The advancement of women has felt so strong in the past year, with the appointment of Mantella and the slew of women taking seats in Congress and positions of power across the country. It appears that not just the future but the present is in-fact, female.
Do you have five minutes to spare a life?
Each day, on average, 88 lives are saved by an organ transplant in the United States; but 22 people die each day waiting for a transplant that never comes, according to organdonor.gov. A new person is added to the wait list every 10 minutes. The need for organ transplants rapidly outpaces the rate of donor registrations. Many health organizations turn to college campuses for their outreach and awareness projects because college-aged students are generally the best organ donor candidates, so it's up to us to take the simple steps that could save lives.
When a person decides to further their education and pursue a degree, the availability of credible educational resources is just as important as which institution and which program they select. A well-organized and well-staffed library is arguably the single most important tool any student or scholar could ever utilize. That being said, Grand Valley State University's lack of $800,000 to supplement the University Libraries budget by January 2020 would be counterproductive as it pertains to giving students and instructors the access they need to subscription-based academic journals and other valuable academic resources.
While the university does not require vaccinations, just as Michigan's 12 other universities do not, they do recommend them. In fact, GVSU openly encourages the following vaccines: influenza, MMR, meningitis, meningitis B, tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis, varicella, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, HPV, pneumococcal and polio. It is not enough, however, for a university to just ask this of their community. Parents and individuals across the country must take the timely precautions to vaccinate themselves and their children, in the case of those who can.
The stereotypes surrounding college Greek organizations can often lean toward the negative, with the usual images of partying, drinking and hazing coming to mind. Media and movies like the 1978 film Animal House reinforce these images and continue to churn out false beliefs of what Greek Life is meant to be about. At Grand Valley State University, there is a strange teetering of viewpoints when it comes to Greek organizations, between the various fraternities that have been suspended or kicked off campus and the large fundraising contributions for sake of philanthropy.

Inter-American rights body finds Jamaica violated LGBT rights
02/19/2021 | The Jusrist
The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) found in a landmark decision released Wednesday that the Jamaican government is responsible for violating the human rights of two of its nationals within the LGBT community. The Human Dignity Trust (HDT), a charity composed of international lawyers championing LGBT rights, brought the case in 2011 on behalf of two individuals. Gareth Henry is a gay man, who, after facing police brutality and repeated attacks by homophobic gangs and mobs, sought asylum in Canada in 2008. Henry was beaten by a policeman while a crowd of 200 people stood by. Simone Edwards is a lesbian woman who was forced to flee Jamaica after being shot multiple times outside her house in 2008. The two perpetrators wanted to kill her and her brothers, one of whom is gay. After the government continually failed to protect them, Edwards was granted asylum in Europe.

flying without stress – if you can not find a thermal, the engine solves the problem. You have got more than 2 hours of powered flight at your disposal. No more annoying outlandings.
We can also supply a closed plane trailer (max. weight 750kg, loaded) for transportation and storage of the DuoBanjo. You can be in the air one hour after the arrival to an airport. Disassembly of the plane takes approx. the same plus the plane cleaning time. No more annoying waiting for others, less hangar damages risks, just a little bit more activity compared to the classic hangar storage (also no need to use the special plane handling trailer). Further info on request.
As we know your own experience counts so we invite you to test the DuoBanjo in flight. Just let us know 2 days in advance and choose the right gliding weather.


ZIP Starter 2 (WP4.2): Fieldwork along and across the Alpine fossil subduction interface / 2 weeks.
Contributors: P. Agard (Paris University), M. Scambelluri (Genova University), S. Angiboust (GFZ Potsdam).
Training has been focussed on field observation of fossil plate interface from depth of 10 to nearly 100 km – with upscaling from the mineral (and analytical) scale to the scale of the whole plate interface. The fieldtrip provided an opportunity to study and walk down the fossil subduction interface, investigating remnants preserved from 10-15 km (Apennines) to 30-50 km (Dent Blanche) and finally 80 km depths (Monviso, Voltri).
Aim: disclose the nature and complexity of the subduction interface and show the key proxies of this geological environment. Training took place through critical observations in petrology and structures (with focus on fluid and rheology) and scale transfer from the field to the subduction interface. The fieldtrip provided a unique training in terms of field expertise and upscaling of geochemical tracers and petrological tools. In addition to field work, 2 days of indoor lecture provided general overviews of HP/UHP rocks, promoting discussion on field observations.
Through this field trip the ESRs and ERs developed real skills in tectonics and petrology, field measurements, acquisition of relevant data and ability to envision scale transfer. These are crucial prerequisites for understanding the combination of processes operating within the subduction interface at various space and time scales.
Day 1-3 (july 8-10): arrival of participants and transfer to Modena. Observation of accretionary wedge sediments, their tectonic transport to 5-10 km down the subduction zone. Discussion of rocks, field sketches and current theories gave the students understanding of the genesis of sediments at the surface and their subsequent accumulation and transport to greater depth.
Thanks to our field leaders Paola Vannucchi and Francesca Remitti for introducing us to the "accretionary world".
Days 4-5 (July 11-12): 30-40 km down! Dent Blanche and Ophiolite units of the Western Alps (Valpelline, Aosta Valley) showing subduction accretion of continental and ophiolitic slices to 30-40 depths during blueschist-facies metamorphism. Migration of the plate interface during progressive accretion of continental and oceanic rocks has been thoroughly discussed in a (cold) field environment.
The field experience was led by Samuel Angiboust, Onno Onken and Philippe Agard.
Day 5 (july 12, Saturday). The fieldtrip to Valpelline has been followed by one day of indoor lectures at Pontboset. Presentations by Onno Onken, Harold Tobin, Ylona van Dinther and Jason Phipps Morgan on the behaviour of plate interface domains, on the geophysical monitoring of the seismogenic zone and on numerical modelling plate interface settings, on plate serpentinization in bend-faults environments and the implications on plate interface domains.
Days 6-8 (July 13-15): 70-80 km down! Cold and rainy rise up the to Monviso. View of exposures of high- pressure eclogite facies ophiolitic rocks detached from accreted the plate interface. Hands-on rocks and on tectonic structures and explanation by Philippe Agard and Samuel Angiboust. Overnight stay in Rifugio SellaOn day 7, we analysed unique eclogite breccias, revealing fluid overpressure and possibly seismogenic tremors, giving way to the development of plate-interface mylonitic shear zones. Overnight stay in Rifugio SellaOn day 7, we analysed unique eclogite breccias, revealing fluid overpressure and possibly seismogenic tremors, giving way to the development of plate-interface mylonitic shear zones.
Transfer at hotel Torinetto and presentations/lectures/discussions during day 8 on major aspects related to the downward transition from the seismogenic zone into intermediate-depths. Indoor presentations by Thomas Pettke, Philippe Agard, Marco Scambelluri, Timm John and Peter van Keken on the structure, petrology, fluid flow and geophysical modelling of deep plate interface domains.
Day 9 (July 16): 70-80 km down and into the mantle. Early morning transfer from Hotel Torinetto in Sampeyre to the Ligurian Alps, inland Genova. Jump into subduction-zone serpentinites, their high-pressure history of eclogite facies dehydration with formation of vein systems that drain and transport the subduction-zone fluids. Discussion lead by Marco Scambelluri and Timm John. Hands on rocks and discussions on progressive dehydration of serpentinized mantle peridotite in subduction environments.
Overnight stay in Genova and end of the field trip.

The HEEF Silent Auction is a great opportunity to support Native American Students and promote your business or organization! We have several sponsorship options available to fit your budget and promotional efforts.
We view support from outside entities as vital to our work in supporting our Hopi children in their educational efforts. The clouds are also an essential part of Hopi life. Hopi farmers pray constantly for the arrival of clouds, as they are the bringers of rain that create moisture in the earth in order for the growth of crops such as corn, beans, squash, and melons. Clouds are identified by their color and are associated with each of the six cardinal directions.
The Blue Cloud is associated with taavang, or southwest direction. The Blue Cloud is regarded as the most essential to Hopi life, as it represents clouds that bring rain for crops to grow and mature.
The White Cloud or Gentle Rain Cloud is ceremonially associated with hoopangaqw or southeastern cardinal direction.
The Yellow Cloud or Western Rain Cloud is ceremonially associated with kwiningyaq or northwest cardinal direction.
The Low-lying Nimbus Cloud is a rare cloud and is associated with the Cloud People that visit the Hopi mesas.
The Hopi Education Endowment Fund (HEEF) is established as a Section 7871 tribal nonprofit of the Internal Revenue Code. This allows tribal governmental entities or programs to receive tax deductible donations and grants that count as qualifying distributions for foundations. For 15 years, the HEEF has been building a fund that ensures opportunities for education will always be available for Hopi students. We strongly believe in our mission of "Cultivating and Nurturing the Future of Our Hopi people through Education by Growing and Safeguarding a Perpetual Source of Funding."

Q: How can i get one table's value from a another table of Database in Laravel I'm completely new to Laravel.
Can someone please guide me on how to set up a relationship between two model BorrowersRequest and Cars?
I have done it on Request Status which is also a foreign key of BorrowersRequest and it's totally working. Now I'm thinking why it isn't working with the Cars.
model
class BorrowerRequest extends Model
{
    public $timestamps = false;

    public function requestStatus() {
        return $this->belongsTo('App\RequestStatus');
    }

    public function requestedCar() {
        return $this->belongsTo('App\Car');
    }
}

this is in my borrowershistory Page. The request status works perfectly fine.

Car to be Rented:

{{ $borrower_request->requestedCar->car_name }}

Date of Return:

{{ $borrower_request->return_date }}

Request Status:

{{ $borrower_request->requestStatus->request_status }}

here's my Controller
public function viewBorrowManager()
{
    $borrower_requests = BorrowerRequest::all();
    $request_statuses = RequestStatus::all();
    return view('/borrowmanager', [
        'borrower_requests' => $borrower_requests,
        'request_statuses' => $request_statuses
    ]);
}

and my in Migration
public function up()
{
    Schema::create('borrower_requests', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->bigIncrements('id');
        $table->unsignedBigInteger('user_id');
        $table->unsignedBigInteger('car_id');
        $table->timestamps();
        $table->string('borrowers_name', 50);
        $table->string('email')->unique();
        $table->bigInteger('contact_number');
        $table->date('return_date');
        $table->unsignedBigInteger('request_status_id')->default(0);
        $table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users');
        $table->foreign('car_id')->references('id')->on('cars');
        $table->foreign('request_status_id')->references('id')->on('request_statuses');

    });
}

A: The car for some borrower_request is not exists. You can check it in view:

Car to be Rented:

{{ $borrower_request->requestedCar ? $borrower_request->requestedCar->car_name : '' }}

Or you can add query for getting only borrower request with cars:
$borrower_requests = BorrowerRequest::whereHas('requestedCar')->get();

A: As you want car_name column value from Cars model or cars table associated with borrower_request,you need to approach like this
$borrower_request->requestedCar()->find($borrower_request->car_id)->car_name

Short explanation
Here $borrower_request->requestedCar() this return App\Car instance,so avobe code of line is equivalent to
use App\Car;
$car = Car::find($id);
$car->car_name

And $borrower_request has a column of car_id which is belongs to the App\Car model.


This is a virtually identical palette swap of this "artist's" five other themes, all labeled somewhat long-windedly with Microsoft trademarks. I suspect this is nothing but a covert advertisement or propaganda trick, but even if it isn't, it amounts to absolutely no effort or ingenuity, and won't be supported with my praise. Sorry for the harsh words, but that's how I feel.
Take this off of gnome-look. No one wants another mac/windows rip-off. There are too many as we have it. Rated bad.
Some people may actually like this. Besides, what about recent Windows Vista refugees who may want something that looks a lot like Windows just to help them feel more at home, at least while they get used to Linux?
After all, even though this theme isn't my style, I'm all for anything to make Windows refugees feel at home in Linux, and I think some would appreciate this.
I agree. Windows converts may like something familiar (or they may not). The theme is well executed and looks good, which is more than I can say for a lot of "original" themes. Take a look at Ubuntu for a really crappy user interface! Where are the real artist??????? It has taken me almost a year to hack my desktop into something worth looking at. It should not be so! Again, well done on a nice looking theme.
Nobody's forced to use it!

Helping to Protect Daytona Beach—Home Security Monitored by ADT
Daytona Beach is a name that's known the world over because of NASCAR, but it has a motorsport history that goes much deeper than that. The Daytona International Speedway is now the destination for both locals and tourists who feel the need for speed, but at one time the world came to Daytona to race on the beach itself. The naturally hard-packed sands created the perfect foundation for racing vehicles in the earlier half of the 20th century, and Daytona's actually the birthplace of professional stock car racing. Today, the city also hosts other moto-centric events like Speedweeks in February, Bike Week in March, and Biketoberfest in—you guessed it—October.
While all of the fanfare from the big motorsport events like the Coke Zero Sugar 400 are a welcome spectacle, for local fans it can also be disconcerting to have so many strangers wandering around the city. Fortunately, ADT offers several monitoring plans that can help put your mind at ease when you're out enjoying the races, including some with indoor cameras that interface with your smart home and convenient phone app.
Racing's not for everyone, though. So if you get tired of all the crowds, you can always get on your bike and head out on the Loop to take in all the beautiful marsh lands, oak patches, and old Southern architecture that brought you to Florida in the first place.

The Five Global Risks
Hans Rosling (2018) Factfulness
Hans Rosling is dead, but his work lives on. Clichéd, I know. But Rosling does something we rarely do, he looks at the facts. And he concludes that the world is so much better than it's ever been. He's an optimist, a myth buster and all-round good guy.
I'm none of these things. I'm a bit like Calimero, walking about under rainy skies with an egg-shell head and complaining 'It's an injustice. It's an injustice'.
This is a book I should really re-read, but I won't, of course. It's an injustice. It's an injustice.
Let's look at the facts in factfulness.
The Gap Instinct is when we create a binary world, black and white, rich and poor, celitc and rangers. In between the two groups we place the valley of death with no river styx and no boatman to help us across. Here's my prejudices. I think rich, elderly, self-serving, white men are responsible for most of the world's ills. Shhh, whisper it, here's the rub. I still believe it after reading Rosling's book. I guess I could quote John Maynard Keynes, 'In the long run we're all dead,' or 'when the facts change, I change my mind'.
Rosling argues and gives statistical evidence to buttress his argument that mostly we don't change our mind much. Our prejudice remain the same. Our world view undisturbed.
Rosling asks what is wrong with this picture of 'them' and 'us'? We shift ourselves to the side of the angels. Rosling concludes that there is no them and us. There is only us, but he's talking about a bigger picture and no just my prejudices.
Measuring the gap between rich and poor, the developing world and the developed world here is the matrix he uses to measure progress. He doesn't, for example, use the Marxist, or indeed Weberian idea of class. Too messy. He's looking for something more practical. The world's population, about seven billion people as split into four income levels. Each figure represents a cohort. On Level 1, for example, about 1 billion people live on a $1 per day. Level 2, about 3 billion people live on $4 per day. Level 3, 2 billion people, live on $16 per day. Here we are on Level 4, a billion people live here, that's where I live, 'you are a rich consumer,' $64 per day. I don't feel rich. That's the problem. It's not about feelings but facts. The world is becoming richer and more people are moving through the levels quicker than at any other time in history.
Rosling reminds us: Beware the comparisons of averages. Beware comparisons of extremes. And reminds us the view from up here (rich man's territory) skews our vision and understanding.
We get to, 'The Negativity Instinct', familiar territory for me and The Mega Misconception that The World Is Getting Worse'. Actually, I got this question right. I did quite well in Rosling's quiz. I ticked the box that said the world is getting better. Thinking and feeling again. Rosling shows that those living in 'extreme poverty' $1 a day, has halved in the last 20 years and has been falling steadily since 1800s (when measurements began). Average life expectancy is on the up and up. Child survival at birth to five years has taken an exponential leap. Even Hunger is declining. We're all fat bastards now, but not equally flabby.
Science, Literacy, Democracy, Clean Water, Immunization rates, Number of Girls in school all increasing.
We don't Trump the good news. We Trump the Trump, whether that's a good thing, or a bad thing, it's a very human trait.
So here's Rosling's view of how to think and not feel. Balance negative news with positive news. Trump may be the moron's moron, but he's old and he might die soon. 'Expect bad news' Trump may get re-elected. 'Don't Censor History'. I don't. I just blame the morons that voted for him.
'The Straight Line Instinct' is to be avoided. Here his example is The Mega (he used Mega lots) Misconception That 'The World Population is Just Increasing and Increasing. Here Rosling is playing devil's advocate for us dummies. He concedes that over the next 13 years about a billion people will be added to the population. But the number of children will be about the same. As the world's population becomes richer we have less children. I can cut in here and say, yeh, I knew that. In South Korea during the 1950s (Korean War) women had on average about seven children. Now, they have one. Yeh, one, it's causing real problems. As it is in Japan and China.
Rosling's quick fix here is don't assume straight lines (question them). Many or most trends are S-bends, slides, humps or doubling lines.
The Fear Instinct is in some ways what makes us human. We think with our heart and not our head. Men in advertising love it. They sell us everyday fear. Your penis is too small. Yes, it is, thanks. Rosling asks us to 'be afraid of the Right Thing'. He gives us a natty equation. Risk = danger x exposure.
The Size Instinct is like the penis risk equation, getting a handle on proportion. Journalists make everything bigger. They direct our limited attention span to how big the disaster they are covering is. Rosling asks us to compare the numbers. In 2016, for example, '4.2 million babies died'. But back in the 1950s it was '14.4 million'.
Rosling's compass. Compare and contrast. 80/20 rule. Look for the largest numbers and deal with them first. They are likely to be more important than the others put together. Divide them. Amounts and rates tell different stories.
The Generalization Instinct is something we're all good at. It's a bit of a hybrid. The gap instinct makes us think in terms of us and them. The generalization instinct makes us think them over there are all the same. Think of our old friend the moron's moron generalizing about 'shit countries' – over there.
In general, Rosling's what to do list is generalizable under the headings. 'Look for differences within groups. Look for similarities across groups, but also differences across groups. Beware of 'the majority' (especially morons that label others 'enemies of the people'). Beware of vivid examples. Assume people are not idiots (unless they're the current US President).
The Destiny Instinct. I get that all the time. My destiny is told in the nearest puddle. Someone bigger is going to stand on me. For Rosling the Destiny Instinct is the kind of prejudices that make the white man's burden sound perfectly reasonable. Rosling puts it in terms of snobbish self-regard. But what he does here is confirm my suspicions that the world economy is moving East to Asia. China is the new United States. Britain is a pimple on the end of United States arse. Rosling tells us Africa, with the poorest countries in the world can catch up. As China did, in a relatively short time, before leaving many nations in the wing mirrors. As South Korea did. As India is doing.
His factfulness checklist has in it Keep track of gradual improvements. A small change can translate into a huge change over decades. I'd need to fling in Thomas Piketty's Capital here. He shows that those whose incomes (the one-percent) grow faster than the 99% then small changes are massive changes and a worrying trend over time.
Rosling asks us to update our knowledge. Yeh, read books. I like that idea. Think for yourself. Go on try it at home.
Talk to grandpa to see how things have really changed. Talk to me. I remember phone boxes that took two-pence coins.
Collect examples of cultural changes. See above.
The Single Perspective Instinct is a variation on the old chestnut when you've got a hammer everything looks like a nail, or when you're the moron's moron everybody looks like a terrorist apart from the leader of the terrorist state which invade Ukraine, disembowelled Chechnya and broke so many Geneva Conventions they ran out of condemnations. But as Rosling argues, we find simple ideas attractive, but not as attractive as prostitutes peeing on a bed Mr T? Sorry, I'll need to be more professional here.
Rosling argues we should trust professionals and experts. Not everyone is equal in what they know, but everybody can have an opinion. Look at the data. But look at the data critically.
The checklist asks you to test your ideas. Be humble (I like that). Hammers and nails. If you're good with a tool you'll want to use it. Number, but only numbers. Beware of simple ideas and simple solutions. Get rid of all immigrants and we'll all be great in Great Britain again. Make America Great Again.
The Blame Instinct is fishing for a simple reason for complex problems. Playing the Blame Game is easy. Do it at home. I blame elderly rich white men. (I'm with Piketty on that one, but they don't have to be white, just superwealthy, which qualifies as white).
Rosling looks at how we scapegoat 'Refugees', for example. I'll cut to the chase them away. 'Our European governments claim to be honouring the Geneva convention that entitles a refugee from a severely war-torn country [like Syria] to apply for and receive asylum. But their immigration policies make a mockery of this claim…'
Here's the checklist. 'Look for causes not villains' [the 1% who own mostly everything] 'Look for systems, not heroes [expropriation of capital].
'The Urgency Instinct' is human nature. Amazon promises to deliver the next day, but that's not soon enough. We want it now. 'Tomorrow may be too late'. Rosling tells us to relax. 'It's almost never true'. He tells us to put a foot in our mouth and control the urgency instinct. 'Insist on the Data'.
Now we're on my territory. Read This Now. Urgent.
Rosling's checklist of 'The Five Global Risks We Should Worry About.'
We can exclude Rosling from this list as he's dead.
Financial Collapse
Extreme Poverty.
These are not independent of each other. Climate Change is inevitable. We've missed the boat. And World War III isn't inevitable, but more likely with the moron's moron in office and financial collapse would be inevitable should a war start. Maybe not. I don't want to find out.
Here's the cure. Take a breath Mr President. Insist on the data. Beware of fortune-tellers Mr President don't appoint them to the highest offices of state. Be wary of drastic action Mr President.
Rosling's final words really were his final words. 'I have found fighting ignorance and spreading a fact-based worldview to be sometimes frustrating, but ultimately inspiring and joyful way to spend my life'. Amen to that.
Yep. Factfulness. We've been here before, but with the growth in social -media reports and fake news we never needed it more.

THE ARTWORKS


Everybody knows how oysters make pearls – a bit of sand or grit slips through the protective barrier of their outer shell, irritating the mollusk's body, and the invertebrate encircles the invader with shell material. As it turns out, ammonoids – the extinct, coil-shelled cousins of modern squid and nautilus – made pearls, too, but they did so to stave off the onslaught of prehistoric parasites.
The idea that ammonoids made pearls isn't new. For years, paleontologists had noticed strange pits on the internal casts of Devonian-age ammonoid shells, and this indicated that the inside of the shell – which had since dissolved away – was pockmarked with bumps. What these pits represented depended upon who you asked, but in 1960 the paleontologist Michael House proposed they were the traces of pearls.
The pearl hypothesis was difficult to confirm. The indentations – now called "Housian pits" by scientists – could have represented true pearls, sites for muscle attachments, or something else. Now, in a paper just published in Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, Universität Zürich paleontologist Christian Klug and colleagues have solved the mystery.
After sampling a variety of ammonoid specimens spanning a range of time between 405 and 385 million years ago, Klug and his co-authors found that many of these fossils had Housian pits. Pits were not found in all ammonoids, but in some genera – such as* Anarcestes* and Sellanarcestes – over 50 percent of the sampled individuals had them. Whatever was creating the pits, it appeared to be relatively selective and create regular patterns in the affected species.
As proposed in the new paper, pearls are the best fit for the evidence. Ohio University paleontologist Royal Mapes, who was one of the reviewers of the paper, agrees. "I have complete confidence that the pits represent pearls," he said via e-mail.
House was right, but the ammonoid pearls were not fit to be strung along a necklace. The ammonoids were making blister pearls – a particular type of pearl that is created on the interior of the shell when something irritates the mollusk's soft mantle. Given that ammonoids added to their spiral shells as they grew, moving their soft bodies into the forwardmost chambers as they did so, new shell material eventually overgrew the source of the irritation and encapsulated it.
The biological origin of the irritating agent became clear when Klug and colleagues cut into preserved shells of Sellanarcestes. The cross-sections of the blister pearls revealed tiny tubes that attached to the shell wall, denoting the presence of a living organism rather than just a piece of sand. This evidence, added to the variation in shape, size, and presence of these pits in select species over time, is more consistent with parasitism than other proposed causes, such as certain shell types being more susceptible to having sand enter the body. More than that, the changes in pit type in different ammonoid species over a 20 million year swath suggests a co-evolution between parasite and host. The parasites were changing to keep up with the rapid adaptation of the ammonoids. Reached by e-mail, Klug noted that "The ammonoids' reactions [to the parasites] changed through ammonoid evolution," but cautions that "we cannot study the detailed reactions" of these interactions since both the hosts and parasites are long gone.
The precise type of parasite which infested the ammonoids is unknown, but Klug and colleagues have an inkling. Trematode worms – or "flukes" – commonly afflict mollusks today, and these invaders often use mollusks as intermediate hosts in their life cycles. The fact that this evidence of mollusk parasitism coincides with an evolutionary radiation of early, jawed fish may indicate that the trematodes were using the ammonoids as a pathway to their vertebrate hosts, although this hypothesis has yet to be confirmed with hard fossil evidence. Likewise, the identification of the parasite must remain provisional. It is possible that some other creature was responsible, and without a certain identification it is difficult to know how the parasites entered the bodies of their hosts. "So far, no ammonite has been found with really well-preserved soft tissues," Klug said, "so up to now, it is impossible to tell what these parasites did to their host."
Nevertheless, bivalve mollusk specimens of about the same geological age as the ammonoids also have Housian pits, and the patterns are similar to those in modern-day shells which have been infested with trematodes. The flukes remain the best potential culprits. Now that paleontologists know what to look for, other incidences of parasitism are likely to show up. Citing his own ongoing research into the mystery, Mapes stated "it seems to be clear that the record of blister pearl formation and related structures in cephalopods in the Paleozoic is even more complex and diverse than that reported by Klug [and co-authors]."
There is much which remains unknown about these interactions, but, from the evidence recovered so far, paleontologists are beginning to map an evolutionary arms race which has been going on for at least 400 million years.

Private cord blood banking is not cost-effective because it costs an additional $1,374,246 per life-year gained, according to a new analysis by UCSF researchers. The research team also concluded that private cord blood banking is cost-effective only for families with a child with a very high likelihood of needing a stem cell transplant.
The researchers used a technique called decision analysis that tracks hypothetical groups of people and allows comparison of expected costs and health benefits of two alternative strategies (in this case, private cord blood banking versus no cord blood banking). Results of the study appear in the October 2009 issue of the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology.
Cord blood is collected from the umbilical cord shortly after a baby's birth and has the potential to treat a variety of medical conditions ranging from leukemia to metabolic disorders to cerebral palsy. Public cord blood banks store cord blood at no cost and make the blood available to anyone needing treatment, or for research purposes.
Private cord banks charge a fee to store a baby's cord blood for his/her own possible future use or for a family member's possible future use.
"While there are plausible medical advantages of umbilical cord blood stem cells, many of these benefits are primarily theoretical at this point," said Aaron Caughey, MD, PhD, co-author of the paper, a UCSF associate professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences, and director of the UCSF Center for Clinical and Policy Perinatal Research. "Expectant parents need to understand the true likelihood of their family benefitting from private cord blood banking in order to make an informed decision about this expensive process."
Private umbilical cord blood banking companies in the United States market directly to consumers, at times describing cord blood as a "biologic insurance" for their unborn child, the researchers note. However, a survey of private cord blood banks by the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation found that of the approximately 460,000 cord blood units banked, only 99 were confirmed as being shipped for use in treatment.
The decision-analytic model used by the research team included four baseline assumptions: a cost of $3,620, the lowest price quoted from major blood banking company web sites, for umbilical cord blood banking and storage for 20 years; a .04 percent chance of requiring an autologous (self) or stem cell transplant; a .07 percent chance of a sibling requiring an allogenic (from another person) stem cell transplant; and a 50 percent reduction in risk of graft-versus-host disease if a sibling receives a transplant of banked umbilical cord blood cells.
The UCSF team concluded that if the cost of umbilical cord blood banking is less than $262 or the likelihood of a child needing a stem cell transplant is greater than one out of 110, then private umbilical cord blood banking becomes cost-effective.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) encourages cord blood donation when the cord blood is stored in a bank for public use and discourages storing cord blood as "biological insurance" because there currently are no scientific data to support autologous transplantation. The AAP does encourage private cord blood banking when there is knowledge of a full sibling in the family with a medical condition (malignant or genetic) who potentially could benefit from cord blood transplantation.
"The discrepancy between the benefits of private cord blood banking perceived by families and the lack of benefit seen in this analysis, and in the opinions of professional societies, has important implications for how doctors counsel patients," said Anjali Kaimal, MD, MAS, lead author of the study and a recent graduate of the UCSF Maternal-Fetal Medicine fellowship which is directed by Caughey. Kaimal's work on the study was done while at UCSF; she currently is a physician at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Co-authors of the study are Catherine Smith, MD; Russell K. Laros, Jr, MD; and Yvonne W. Cheng, MD, MPH, all from UCSF.
Caughey's work is supported in part by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Physician Faculty Scholars Program.

The Macquarie Heads Breakwater was a project of the Strahan Marine Board in Western Tasmania to sustain a reasonable depth to the Hells Gates and Macquarie Heads  of the Macquarie Harbour area to allow for shipping of limited tonnage to serve Regatta Point while the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company was exporting its mineral products by sea.  The heads were notoriously difficult to navigate in good weather, and even more difficult in bad weather.

The SS Kaiwatiri was wrecked at Macquarie Heads between 1907 and 1910, and the shoal to the east of the main entrance channel is now known as the Kaiwatiri Shoal.

Breakwater
The breakwater lay on the west side of the entrance. In the 1905 cartographic map of the Heads (also designated 'West Coast Entrance to Macquarie Harbour'), evidence of a proposed or planned 'East Breakwater' is shown, with the existing named as the 'West Breakwater' the name 'West Breakwater' still carried on in later surveys in 1930 and the 1964 map, but with no sign of the planned 'East Breakwater'.

The breakwater was regularly in need of maintenance The maps for Macquarie Entrance as it was also known show the breakwater's position clearly

Horse drawn tram
Between 1900 and 1946 there was a horse drawn wooden rail tramline that was utilised to provide access between locations on the Cape Sorell headland between the Cape Sorell Lighthouse and the jetty and wharf locations - as well as to move rock from quarries to the construction and maintenance of the Macquarie Heads breakwater.

The named locations on the wooden rail system - were
  0.0 - Watts Hill Quarry - operating between October 1900 and May 1927
        Pilot Beach (Bay Street) - operating between October 1900 and 1946
  1.1 - Pilot Bay Jetty   - operating between 1904 and May 1927
  2.2 - West Breakwater Base - operating between 19 June and 1946
  2.6 - Macquarie Heads (Langtry Street)
  2.8 - Town Wharf
  5.4 - Wellington Head Quarry - operating between 1904 and May 1927

Netanyahu phones Pollard: 'When are we going to see you here? We're waiting'
PM urges former spy and his wife to move to Israel, tells them 'that this nightmare of yours is over,' days after his parole ends
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday spoke by phone with Jonathan Pollard, telling the former US Navy analyst convicted of spying for Israel that the Jewish state is waiting for him to move here after his parole ended.
"When are we going to see you here? We're waiting for you," Netanyahu told Pollard, speaking in English.
Pollard's reply, which caused Netanyahu to chuckle, could not be heard.
"You should feel comfortable and you should really feel at home," the prime minister added.

He also promised to make sure Pollard's wife Esther gets the cancer treatment she needs.
"I really want to congratulate you that this nightmare of yours is over," he told Esther, speaking in Hebrew.
"When you return to Israel, it will be a big moment for us."
Pollard, 66, was a US Navy intelligence analyst in the mid-1980s when he made contact with an Israeli colonel in New York and began sending US secrets to Israel in exchange for tens of thousands of dollars.
Pollard, who is Jewish, passed thousands of crucial US documents to Israel, straining relations between the two close allies.
He was arrested in 1985 and was sentenced to life in prison two years later, despite pleading guilty in a deal his attorneys expected would result in a more lenient sentence.

He was eventually released in 2015, but was kept in the United States by parole rules and not allowed to travel to Israel where his wife, whom he married after he was jailed, lived.
He remained subject to a curfew, had to wear a wrist monitor, and was prohibited from working for any company that lacked US government monitoring software on its computer systems. In addition he was restricted from traveling abroad.
On Sunday, Pollard released photos taken on Friday of his wife cutting the electronic monitor bracelet off of his wrist as his five-year parole was terminated. He also issued a statement thanking Esther for standing by his side for three decades.

His lawyer, Eliot Lauer, told The Times of Israel that the termination of his parole likely required a "wink and a nod" from the highest levels of the White House.
Pollard is now readying to move to Israel with his wife Esther, but the two are still working to determine how to do so safely while she is still undergoing rounds of chemotherapy treatments for breast cancer, according to the lawyer.
Pollard's determination to move to Israel comes despite his previous accusations that Israel had not done enough to secure his release and his bitterness over the way Israel abandoned him when he was caught.
His capture and his subsequent treatment — by Israel, which threw him out of its Washington embassy and into the arms of waiting FBI agents, and by the United States, which agreed to a plea bargain and then sentenced him with uncommon severity — left him deeply embittered.
Israel's October 1985 raid on the Palestinian Liberation Organization's Tunis headquarters that killed around 60 people was planned with information from Pollard, according to CIA documents declassified in 2012.
