FMX Spotlight x Research on Dec 14: EU Project SAUCE
DEAR FMX COMMUNITY
our next FMX Spotlight show will take you on a deep dive into the world of research: Together we will explore the EU Project SAUCE, one of the big and current innovation projects for the creative industries aiming to re-use existing digital assets for future productions.
Smart Assets for Re-Use in Creative Environments
Launched in 2018, the project SAUCE (Smart Assets for Re-Use in Creative Environments) brings together 8 partners from 6 different European countries who are jointly researching professional tools and techniques that can reduce the cost of producing enhanced digital content. Look forward to Animationsinstitut's head of R&D, Volker Helzle, leading us through a presentation of the following three research fields:
Light fields
How can we generate smart world-views by capturing and processing Light Fields, augment them with semantics and make them usable for media production pipelines?
Presented by Thorsten Herfet (Universität des Saarlandes), Marek Solony (BRNO University of Technology) and Martin Alain (Trinity College Dublin)
Asset Pipeline
How can we best design the journey of reusable assets from asset ingest, classification and storage, to retrieval from any location and its subsequent transformation?
Presented by Pisut Wisessing, David Smyth (Trinity College Dublin), David Moreno (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) and Jonas Trottnow (Filmakademie's Animationsinstitut)
Semantic Animation and Crowds
How can we make use of high level descriptors to direct the performances of special character assets, capable of determing their own detailed low-level behaviours and scene interactions?
Presented by William Greenly (DNEG), Dan Rin (Foundry) and Trevor Canham (Universitat Pompeu Fabra)
Make sure to tune in on December 14 at 18:00 CET on www.fmx.de and ask our guests your questions in the live chat. Find out more about SAUCE here.

Home > End of Life Care > Burial, cremation… composting? A new alternative for pet owners
Burial, cremation… composting? A new alternative for pet owners
By Eric Forrest on March 27, 2018
Breaking news from the deceased animal disposal alternatives department: you've now got another choice when it comes to your pet's remains.
The famed and literary undertaker Thomas Lynch once wrote that, in the end, we're all resigned to either "field or fire," referring to our places of final rest. That is, we either go in the ground or into a crematorium. And as human behavior changes go, so goes the way we treat our animals (see diet, rights, apparel, etc.).
Instead of the traditional ways we treat our animal remains only, there's something new happening. Actually, it's not "new," but it at least accelerates the process that goes with our field resting.
Some like to put their animals in the ground at home or in a special place elsewhere. Others have a pet urn or spread ashes in nature. Now, another segment of the population will have their pets turned into compost- professionally.
In this article, we learned about a young woman whose 15-year-old pup and best friend recently died. To honor her pet's memory, she sent her dog's remains to a company called Rooted. About two months later, the company sent her dog back to her in a big, green bucket as an organic and rich soil.
More environmentally-friendly that burial, composting is now "a thing". The woman in the article plans to use the soil to plant a tree. This way, she'll have a beautiful tree that was helped to grow using her animal's remains. It's unique and we're sure it'll be a hit with many pet owners soon.
What say you? Is this a cool idea or what? Creepy? Fitting? Just another way to honor a pet? Let us know what you think on our Facebook page or login here to leave a comment.

At Photo London 2019 Atlas Gallery will be launching the 4th, much anticipated project by Nick Brandt, This Empty World.
Brandt's new body of work addresses the escalating destruction of the natural world at the hands of humans, showing a world where, overwhelmed by runaway development, there is no longer space for animals to survive.
Each image is a combination of two moments in time captured weeks apart, almost all from the exact same camera position. The project is shot mostly at night with constructed sets and an enormous cast, and for the very first time in colour.
Atlas will also show an important selection of works by Ansel Adams, one of the first artists to raise the issue of landscape conservation. Concerned about land development and the subsequent loss of habitat, Adams advocated for a balanced growth, a subject shared deeply with the stylistically contrasting work of Brandt.

Today's Boomer Dress Code for Women: Subtle Style
For midlife working women, it's all about radiating confidence and poise
By Kevyn BurgerFebruary 15, 2019

On the Lifetime reality show Married at First Sight, contestants trust Pepper Schwartz enough to allow her to choose a spouse for them. The noted sociologist, bestselling author and relationship expert has plenty of confidence about pairing strangers for marriage. But she's less assured about how to dress in her appearances on the hit TV program.
The producers don't select her wardrobe, although Schwartz, 72, wouldn't mind more direction from them about what she should wear.
"It's a bit of a dance. You have to be current, but you can't pretend you're 30 years younger," said Schwartz. "You want to radiate poise, knowledge and expertise, but you can't look stuck in your groove. You have to show some openness and fun. But not too much."
Unwritten Fashion Rules Are Shifting
It's a fashion dilemma that many midlife women can relate to. The unwritten rules governing workplace attire seem to be shifting as a younger generation comes into their own, managing the office, courtroom and classroom, bringing their own sense of style.

Wendy Packer
"You don't want to look matronly, but you also can't look like you've raided your daughter's closet," noted Wendy Packer, 64, who produces fashion shows featuring boomer models. Her Fashion Over Fifty blog boasts a quarter of a million followers on Facebook.
"Our figures have changed and we can't dress like we used to, but I like to say that women of a certain age can wear anything if it's styled for them," she said. "A great example is Brigitte Macron, the First Lady of France. She's 65 and wears everything; she just has it styled so it looks age-appropriate."
Before becoming a professional blogger, Packer worked as an attorney specializing in medical malpractice. "When I joined a firm in Los Angeles in 1985, I wore suits in muted colors with little bow ties," she remembered. "Heaven forbid you would wear pants, flats or any jewelry but pearls."
When boomer women started their careers back in the Carter or Reagan administrations, many adhered to the rules of Dress for Success for Women. Published in 1977, the bestseller (written, naturally, by a man) influenced a generation of women as they entered and integrated the workforce. It advised women who wanted to be taken seriously to don closed-toed pumps, nude pantyhose, shirtwaist dresses and blazers-and-skirts — nothing snug, ultra-feminine or casual.
"I always had my own sense of style, and once I wore a black leather jacket to a lawyers' luncheon," Packer recalled. "They looked at me like I was a real rebel."
A Subtle Dress Code
Today, women are liberated from the power-dressing uniforms of the past. Even those who work in conservative fields like finance or the legal profession can put some personality in their outfits.
But a broader fashion palette to draw from also increases the chances of getting it wrong.
"We can't stick with the old standbys. Now we can look stodgy and out of touch if we show up in the Hilary Clinton pantsuit," said Amy Lynch, 65, a Nashville-based author, consultant and founder of Generational Edge.
Lynch thinks there is still a workplace dress code, but it's far more subtle now.
"I consult with a lot of companies full of Gen Xers and millennials. If I walk in dressed in the authority suit, they won't take me seriously," she said.
According to Lynch, the more informal style of dress is symbolic of what's going on in today's workplaces.
"Younger professionals work for self-expression. They don't expect a hard dividing line between a work self and a personal self, and the way they dress reflects that," she said. "People in their twenties and thirties don't expect to be told what to do and how to do it. It's a huge shift."
Lynch said she shies away from the sleeveless sheaths so popular with many younger women. When she's presenting, she chooses slender slacks, an unstructured jacket and "killer shoes."
"Some parts of the country are more traditional than others. I find that the more entrepreneurial the workplace, the more relaxed the standards," she said.
Zero In On Authenticity
Just as looking too staid can be a fashion don't, adopting a hipster style also sends the wrong signal, according to Lisa Walden, 32, a generational expert at the Bridgeworks consulting firm in Minneapolis.
Walden works with businesses that employ a multi-generational workforce and has even advised boomer bosses about what to wear when interviewing top millennial prospects for jobs.
"In our experience and research with service providers, like financial advisers and real estate agents, we say to look sharp and polished, but casual," she explained.
According to Walden, "It's a fine balancing act, being true to who you are. Millennials zero in on authenticity. If your go-to style is more formal, then dress down what you're wearing with casual jewelry or flat shoes."
Wardrobe Pro Tips
Packer has her own advice for workplace style. She advocates a tailored look for business, but suggests choosing a cardigan instead of a blazer, incorporating kitten heels, a knee-length skirt or cropped pants for an updated look and pairing classic separates with accessories purchased at stores that cater to a younger demographic.
"I love dangly earrings and funky necklaces from Forever 21 and H & M," she said.
Schwartz has developed a mantra for her TV look as she selects her on-camera outfits. "I wear what someone who is younger than me and dresses conservatively would wear," she said. "I want clothes that someone who is thirty would look at and say, 'hey, that's cute.' They have to identify with you."
For Schwartz, that means pairing dark pants with brightly patterned blouses or colorful jackets. "I like the look of skirts with tights and boots, but I'm too short to pull it off," she said.
At some point, she suspects her clothing decisions will get easier, or maybe she will simply care less.
"When you get old enough, you can do whatever you like," she said. "But I don't think I'm there yet."

Europe Is a Great Place to Be a Large Meat-Eater
In a rare success story for wildlife, bears, lynx, wolverine and wolves are increasing in numbers across the continent
Rachel Nuwer
Eurasian lynx playing in the snow in Germany.
Wildlife conservation is a field often beleaguered with bad news. In Europe, however, large carnivores are proving to be the exception to the rule. According to research compiled by about 75 wildlife experts, brown bears, Eurasian lynx, gray wolves and wolverines are all on the rise across the continent. This conservation success demonstrates that people and large carnivores can indeed coexist, the team says.
The findings are based on the best available standardized information about the abundance and range of large carnivores in every European country except Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. The work also excludes tiny nations like Lichtenstein and Andorra. The team collected both historical data compiled from World War II to the 1970s and the most recent population estimates, so they could compare how the numbers of animals have changed over time. The bulk of those figures came from experts affiliated with the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Large Carnivore Initiative for Europe. Professionals working at universities and conservation groups and local and national governments also supplied data.
"The numbers are often the official ones reported to the European Union," lead author Guillaume Chapron, an ecologist at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, says in an email. "The estimates represent the best available knowledge."
All together, large carnivores occupy roughly one-third of the mainland European continent, team reports today in Science. Every country except Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Luxemburg features a permanent population of at least one of the four species evaluated in the study, and carnivore sightings have been reported recently in places not yet known to harbor breeding populations of those animals. Additionally, the team found that most of the animals live outside of protected areas, frequently sharing landscapes with people.
The data indicated that brown bears are the most abundant carnivores, with an estimated population of 17,000 individuals divided into 10 main populations. Wolves, however, are found in the most places, ranging over 28 countries. Wolverines occur in the fewest places—just Sweden, Norway and Finland, which feature the cold, high-altitude habitats the animals require—but their numbers are on the rise. The Fennoscandia region also acts as Europe's primary big carnivore hot spot, since it's the only place where all four species can be found.
These successes are all the more significant because large carnivores are especially tricky to manage. People often harbor negative connotations about meat-eaters—the big bad wolf or the man-eating bear. Predators also usually need a lot of space, with ranges sometimes spilling across the borders of several countries. A single pack of wolves may roam throughout the Balkans, for example, or a male lynx might prowl the forests of both Norway and Sweden. Therefore, protecting carnivores in places as nation-crowded as Europe requires transboundary management and agreement among multiple populations that carnivores are worth having around.
As the authors point out, Europe seems to have succeeded in doing just that. This is probably due to a combination of factors, including post-World War II stability in most countries, pan-European legislation dating back to the 1970s that protects wildlife, an increasing number of people abandoning the countryside for the city and growing populations of other animals, such as deer, which large carnivores depend on for food.
There are challenges remaining, however. Some sources in Romania, for example, indicate that bear population estimates reported to the government might be exaggerated due to bribes from frustrated farmers and trigger-happy hunters. As Chapron points out, though, "any bribed or corrupted numbers would concern only very few countries—if any—and would not affect the general trends that we report in the paper on a continental scale."
A bigger problem, the researchers acknowledge, is cultural disinclination in certain countries and professions toward some carnivores. Illegal wolf killing is still commonplace in rural Norway, for example. In June, two men in Sweden were sentenced to jail time for killing a female wolf. And Austrian poachers wound up hunting an introduced population of bears until they went locally extinct. While positive feelings toward carnivores are prevailing overall, "the underlying negative forces are still present and could reemerge as a result of ecological, social, political or economic changes."
Although ongoing monitoring is necessary to ensure things continue to trend in a favorable direction for carnivores, the team writes that the current situation in Europe overall offers hope that wildlife and humans can find a way to live together in other places around the world.

Practical information on organic agriculture in the northeast United States is in great demand. Despite the growth of organic farming in the area in the last few years, most new farmers have only a few years of experience as apprentices and lack consistent means of continuing their education.
Hundreds of useful articles have been published in The Natural Farmer (TNF), the quarterly journal of the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA), which has been edited by Jack Kittredge, a certified organic Massachusetts farmer, since 1988. Each issue of this award-winning journal presents timely and practical information focused on a particular topic related to organic agriculture, written by experienced farmers and educators, making it of special value to people interested in that topic.
Although copies of each issue have been available online at the NOFA website, the issues and topics had never been put into a format that was searchable by internet search engines, so a search for a specific topic would not bring up any of the related TNF articles. For example, a Google search for "organic potatoes" would not have yielded any of the nine articles on organic potatoes that were published in TNF.
Through this project, Searchable Library of Articles on Organic Growing, there are now 100 articles from twelve issues of The Natural Farmer online in an indexed, searchable format. In addition to making this extensive collection of valuable organic farming information readily available, this project enables NOFA to track the number of visits to these articles online. If they are widely used, NOFA can seek to put more issues into the searchable archive.

US President-elect Donald Trump acknowledged for the first time Wednesday that he believes Russian operatives hacked the Democratic Party during the election, but he continued to dispute intelligence reports that Moscow acted to help him win.
During an at times rancorous press conference, he angrily denounced the publishing of claims he had been caught in a compromising position in Russia and attacked news organisations for publishing the claims, while also lashing US intelligence agencies over the leak of an explosive but unverified dossier.
"I think it was Russia," Mr Trump conceded at the press conference in New York when asked who was responsible for the leaks of Democratic emails during the campaign.
But Mr Trump said he believes Russia would have released damaging information about him had they obtained such information.
Mr Trump also addressed questions about his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying "If Putin likes Donald Trump, guess what folks, that's an asset not a liability. I don't know if I'll get along with Vladimir Putin. . .but even if I don't does anyone in this room think Hillary Clinton will be tougher on Putin than me? Give me a break."
Mr Trump made his remarks in his first news conference as President-elect, ending a period of 167 days since he has fielded questions from the full media contingent. Past winners of the presidency have traditionally faced the press far earlier.
On Wednesday morning the president-elect angrily denounced news reports about a dossier of potentially compromising information Russia has allegedly gathered about him, citing denials from the Kremlin that it has any such intelligence.
The president-elect also charged via Twitter that his "crooked opponents" are trying to undermine his electoral victory. He accused the intelligence community of leaking the information to get in "one last shot at me," saying, "Are we living in Nazi Germany?"
At the news conference on Wednesday he attacked US intelligence agencies over the leak of the dossier, which was published in full by the news and entertainment website Buzzfeed on Tuesday.
"I think it was disgraceful, disgraceful that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to be so false and fake out there," Mr Trump told the news conference. He called the dossier that makes salacious claims about him "fake news" and "phony stuff."
Mr Trump's comments follow the revelation Tuesday night that a classified report delivered to Mr Trump and President Obama last week, according to US officials, included a section summarising allegations that Russian intelligence services have compromising information about Mr Trump's personal life and finances.
The officials said that US intelligence agencies have not corroborated those allegations but believed the sources involved in the reporting were credible enough to warrant inclusion of their claims in the highly classified report on Russian interference in the presidential campaign.
Earlier Wednesday, a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin called the allegations that Russia has collected compromising information about Trump an "absolute fantasy."
Soon after, Mr Trump tweeted: "Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is 'A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE.' Very unfair!"
Most media organisations reported only on the existence of the report and that intelligence officials had included a summary of it in their briefings with Mr Trump and Mr Obama on Russia's attempts to sway the election. But BuzzFeed News published a document supposedly created by a former British intelligence official. The information it contains has not been verified.
Mr Trump and other officials appeared to focus on BuzzFeed's publication of the report, denying that the document possesses any truth.
Mr Trump said Wednesday morning that he had no relationship with Russia that could compromise him.
"Russia has never tried to use leverage over me," he said. "I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA — NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!"


All visits must be approved by the Head Teacher. Teachers organising visits should give detailed information about the visit – purpose, activity involved, venue, timings and number of pupils. This information should be submitted on the Educational Visit Form available from the office.
Teachers involved in arranging any school visit should take all reasonable steps to ensure that it is planned thoroughly with particular reference to safety. An Event Specific Risk Assessment Form (available from the office) needs to be completed prior to all visits. It will list potential risks to safety and the control measures to be taken to minimise those risks. The ESRA should be submitted to the Head Teacher for approval, together with the Educational Visit Form.
For all day visits and visits outside the local area, written parental/guardian consent must be obtained. (This need not include short visits to the local area, as Lessness Heath Primary parents/guardians should have already signed a consent form for such trips upon the pupil's entry to the school).
In accordance with DfE guidelines we will ensure that the level of supervision is appropriate to the activity. As a guide, there should be one adult for ten pupils at Years 4, 5 and 6, one adult to six pupils at Years 1, 2 and 3, one adult to four pupils at Reception and one adult to two pupils at Nursery. These ratios must include a minimum of one teacher. Staffing may need to be increased depending on the age and ability of the pupils, the venue and the activity involved.
When parents/guardians assist in escorting pupils undertaking short visits to local venues they should be fully briefed on the visit and the scope of their duties and responsibilities.
The lead person needs to liaise with the medical staff/first aider at the establishment and make decisions as appropriate (i.e. call ambulance if needed).
The lead person should contact school, as soon as possible, to be kept informed and in order to take any further action, as needed.
The DfE Guidelines on the Health & Safety of pupils on Educational visits are located in the school office.

Despite the advances in antihypertensive therapy and renal revascularization, there remains a group of patients in whom renovascular disease leads to renal atrophy and treatment-resistant hypertension.
We performed an observational cohort study in which we reviewed blood pressures, renal function, and predictors of response in 74 patients who underwent nephrectomy of a small kidney for uncontrolled hypertension between 1990 and 2000.
The median age of the patients was 65 years; 43 (58%) were women. Thirty-five patients (47%) underwent nephrectomy as part of combined revascularization of the contralateral kidney. Associated atherosclerotic diseases were common (28% to 49%), as were prior renal revascularization (21 [28%]) and hypertensive urgency/emergencies (23 [31%]). The mean (± SD) long axis of the affected kidney was 8 ± 2 cm, and the mean function of the kidney (based on radioisotope renography) was 12% ± 11% of total renal function. The average systolic blood pressure fell from 168 ± 19 mm Hg to 136 ± 18 mm Hg (P <0.0001) and diastolic blood pressure declined from 88 ± 10 mm Hg to 76 ± 9 mm Hg (P <0.0001) at the most recent available clinic visit (mean follow-up, 4.1 ± 2.6 years). In addition, the number of antihypertensive medications decreased from 3.2 ± 1.1 to 2.2 ± 1.5 (P <0.0001). Renal function remained stable. Results were similar (preoperative blood pressure of 165/88 mm Hg taking three medications to 137/77 mm Hg taking two medications) among the 39 patients who had a nephrectomy without contralateral revascularization.
Our results suggest that in selected patients with resistant hypertension and renal artery disease that has resulted in atrophic kidneys with reduced function, nephrectomy can improve blood pressure control without further loss in overall renal function.

James C. Dobbins is a professor of Religion and East Asian Studies at Oberlin. He recently edited Selected Works of D.T. Suzuki, Volume II: Pure Land.
James C. Dobbins is a Fairchild Professor of Religion and East Asian Studies at the College. He has studied Daisetsu Teitaro Suzuki who wrote about the pure land Buddhist tradition. Dobbins' talk, "D. T. Suzuki and the Rise of American Buddhism", addressed Suzuki's life and controversies that arose around his modern approach to Buddhism. The Review sat down with Dobbins to discuss his study of Suzuki, Pure Land Buddhism, and his new book: Selected Works of D.T. Suzuki, Volume II: Pure Land.
When did you start studying Suzuki's writings?
Anyone of my generation who's interested in Buddhism cut their teeth on these writings. When I was your age, or maybe just after college, that's when I was first exposed to him. And when I first started studying Buddhism, those were the ones that I first read. But after I became very involved in the study of Buddhism, I came to see Suzuki as an inaccurate representative of Buddhism in Japan. This is after I went to Japan and had been there a long time — I studied in Japanese and got to see Buddhists on the ground there. I thought, "The pictures I got from Suzuki's book don't match what I'm seeing." And I became very disillusioned with him at that point. I went for decades just ignoring him.
Then, in the late 1990s, there was a big scholarly kerfuffle around Suzuki, because he had been praised as the pure conduit of authentic Buddhism from the East to the West. People began to say that he was a cultural chauvinist who believed in the superior spirituality of the Japanese, or who was supportive of the Japanese aggressive war during World War II. Or that he basically dressed his Western ideas in Buddhist clothes and presented them to the West as if they were authentic Buddhism.
So when a colleague of mine at Duke put together a four-volume collected works of Suzuki, he asked me to edit his volume on Suzuki's Pure Land Buddhism, because I'm a specialist in this form of Buddhism. … So at that point I returned to Suzuki but I decided that I wasn't going to get into this big fight over whether Suzuki is authentic or whether he's a fraud. I was going to try to simply treat him as a historical figure in the advent of Buddhism in the West, and the reform and redefinition of Buddhism in Japan.
All of this Buddhism in the West — is it true Buddhism? Is it fake Buddhism? I came to the point where I thought that these are false questions. You can only see it as a kind of morphed or evolved Buddhism, just as Suzuki is a morphed or evolved thinker who is purely Buddhist but is talking in Western discourse.
Do you think that, when Westerners read Suzuki, there is a certain level of cultural appropriation or erasure that happens when they don't understand the roots of Buddhism?
My own framework was that I wanted to discover the real East — real, authentic Buddhism — but I've come to see over time that there are cultural flows that occur. In Suzuki's day, the late 19th century, there was colonialism, and some colonists were condescending to Buddhism. Others came to be fascinated by it. Those people who encountered it, they also had to try to figure out what was true and authentic, but they were also filtering it through categories and ideas about religion — or their rejection of religion, which also shaped their reception of Buddhism. Cultural appropriation, when we get Zen centers for meditating, it is definitely true Buddhism from Asia, and it is definitely American appropriation. Both of those are present side-by-side in those places.
Is there anything you think that specifically draws Westerners to this form of Buddhism?
Out of all the forms of Buddhism, this is the one that Westerners are often not drawn to. Westerners are usually drawn to Zen. Zen is constructed pretty heavily around the practice of sitting in meditation. I think Westerners imagine that meditation is letting their true selves come out. Actually, the tradition of meditation has much more to do with the ritualized lifestyle led in the monastery. But Pure Land Buddhism is off the wall from Westerners' impression of Buddhism, because it's pervasive in Asia. In Asia, Pure Land is bigger than Zen. It's based on a now outdated cosmology, where there was the belief that not only do we have our world in which a Buddha was born, and the Buddha proclaimed the dharma, the teachings of Buddhism, and people encountered them and took on those teachings as they transformed their lives through them, but there was the belief that there are countless world systems in all of the directions, and each of those world systems has its own Buddha. And each of those Buddhas have characteristics of their own enlightenment, their own teachings, and the way they engage other people to bring them to that enlightened understanding of the teachings.
One of these Buddhas in this fabricated universe is not the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni, of our world, but it's the Buddha Amida of this other world. The world he inhabits is different from our world; it's a perfected world. If you look in Buddha's texts, it has the classic paradise motif that you see in all types of religions worldwide. So, you develop the assumption that, if people in this world can't attain a liberating experience of enlightenment here and now, that what they do is aspire to, in their next birth, be born to where the next Buddha is. Through all of the conducive conditions, that's where they advance to enlightenment and attain liberation. In this world, looking toward that world, the practice they come to embrace is calling the name of that Buddha. If the core religious practice of Zen is sitting in meditation, the core religious practice of Pure Land is chanting the name of that Buddha. It's a simple chant; Namo Amidabha. It means something like, "I take refuge in the Buddha Amida," the Buddha of that world. People will sometimes do a sing-song chant of it, sometimes they just simply repeat it, sometimes it gets [put] together. They wake up in the morning and brush their teeth and say it, or say it while eating a meal.
This form of Buddhism, Pure Land Buddhism, to most Westerners looks like a fake Buddhism. It looks like a kind of Christianity flying stealth in the form of Buddhism. Because you have this otherworldly god, this heaven out there, you put faith in this god and then you're reborn there after death.
Basically, Suzuki never saw Pure Land Buddhism as a form of Christian Buddhism. He saw it as a form of selfless compassion in Buddhism — the compassion in the Buddha and in the people emulating the Buddha. But what we see in Suzuki's ideas and teachings is that this otherworldly goal, to be reborn in the Pure Land, won't fly in the modern world anymore. He felt like you had to take the different components of Pure Land Buddhism and reimagine them in a form that would work today. So he came to emphasize that the Pure Land does not exist out there somewhere, but that the Pure Land exists here and now, if only you can see it. And the key to the Pure Land is not pleading to be reborn there with the Buddha, but experiencing the Buddha here and now. So this chanting of the name becomes an essence of religious experience. And the third component here is that in chanting the name, the division between Buddha and person collapses. In the chant, there is no Buddha, there is no separate person. Both are non-dual if you like.
So that becomes the framework through which Suzuki tries to retrieve an archaic form of Buddhism and make it relevant to modern forms of Buddhism. Some Westerners have gotten that, and there is some following of Pure Land Buddhism in America. But still, Pure Land is still a distant fourth behind Zen Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism and Theravada Buddhism.
How do you find that Suzuki's land of bliss differs from the traditional Buddhist idea of nirvana?
There's an entire course behind that question, so I can't quite do it justice. What we see more and more in modern interpretations of Buddhism is to try to see the absolute in the here and now. You have this tendency in the modern period to emphasize this non-duality. I think that Suzuki's Land of Bliss, and that's the Pure Land, wants to emphasize that the encounter with the Pure Land occurs in everyday life. One doesn't separate oneself from the Buddha when one has an identification constantly occurring with the Buddha.
So it results in not a sense of spiritual lack, but in a sense of spiritual fulfillment. And that spiritual fulfillment can occur in this world. This world is the land of bliss — if only you have the eyes to see it. I think that's how he would respond to that.

More flu woo from Mercola
By sb admin on March 21, 2008.
OK, I never really liked Joe Mercola, but when I read about this story on his website, I was encouraged. Boy, do I feel like a sucker.
He started out so well, telling us about the tragic case of a child who died of influenza this year, and how health officials rapidly responded by increasing vaccine availability. Yea! He finally gets it!
After the reasonably good piece of journalism, Mercola hops back on to the bat-shit insane wagon.
Joe's commentary starts thusly:
This tragic story is, unfortunately, being used for all the wrong reasons; namely to promote the "universal influenza vaccination for all Americans.
Um, he must have read a different story than I. Unvaccinated girl dies of flu---public health officials respond by trying to prevent a similar tragedy.
But being unburdened by logic or truth, Mercola has an explanation:
There are three major reasons why this government push to vaccinate all children, not to mention adults and the elderly, with the flu shot is so infuriating:
1. The majority of flu shots contain 25 micrograms of mercury; an amount considered unsafe for anyone weighing less than 550 pounds. And who is most sensitive to the neurological damage that has been associated with mercury? Infants and children.
Wrong! This hypothesis has been so completely eviscerated it's a wonder he bothers to drag it out. Most anti-vax cults have begun to change their tactics away from mercury and toward "toxins" (which is a term so vague as to be meaningless).
2. No studies have conclusively proven that flu shots prevent flu-related deaths among the elderly, yet this is one of the key groups to which they're pushed.
Usually, folks like Mercola do their research to avoid making statements that are too easily refuted. EPIC PHAIL! Influenza vaccines have been shown to prevent flu-related morbidity and mortality in the elderly. C'mon, Joe---you can do better than that.
3. If you get a flu shot, you can still get the flu. This is because it only protects against certain strains, and it's anyone's guess which flu viruses will be in your area. It even says so right on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) own Web site:
"The ability of flu vaccine to protect a person depends on two things:
1) the age and health status of the person getting the vaccine, and
2) the similarity or "match" between the virus strains in the vaccine and those in circulation."
Yes, of course. Those of us in the medical community who actually know what we're doing have never said that flu shots protect everybody all the time from every conceivable strain of flu. But in the aggregate, flu shots prevent disease and death. And flu shot's aren't based on "anyone's guess". There actually exists a year-round, world-wide surveillance program that aids in the development of the yearly vaccine. This year's vaccine was notable for it's moderate gap in coverage---most years, the vaccine is so well matched, it isn't an issue.
There is also a good chance that if you get a flu shot, you will come down with symptoms of -- what else? -- the flu. Side effects from the inactivated flu shot include:
* Soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given
* Fever (low grade)
* Aches
So friggin' what? First, reactions to the flu shot are rare. Second, it's much better to have a few hours of discomfort than a few weeks in and ICU on a ventilator. What an idiot.
So why would you take your chances on a flu shot that has not been proven to be effective, and that can make you feel like you've got the very illness you're trying to prevent? Because the powers that be have done an excellent job of scaring people into believing that they must get a shot to stay healthy.
Beg the question much?
When a denialist uses unproven assertions as valid statements on which to base further arguments, these arguments are also invalid.
He of course goes on to explain the giant conspiracy to take your money and poison you with flu shots, but I won't bother to quote it. You've heard it all before.
But he doesn't leave his readers hanging. He gives them advice for preventing the flu without vaccines:
Here are the "secrets" I use to keep the flu (and other illnesses) at bay:
* Get plenty of sunshine or vitamin D. Fortunately, spring is here in the northern hemisphere and most can finally have access to healthy sunshine on their skin.
* Eat right for your nutritional type, including avoiding sugar
* Exercise
* Get adequate sleep
* Address emotional stress
* Wash your hands regularly (but not excessively)
Great. Just great. What an idiot. Vitamin D, while a very good thing, does not prevent the flu. Thankfully for Mercola, flu drops off in the spring naturally, so he can take the credit.
Eating right is fine ("right for you nutritional type"?) but, as long as you aren't terribly malnourished, changing your eating habits won't prevent the flu, nor will exercise and sleep, although both are good.
Of all his "secrets" listed, hand-washing is probably the most effective. But only vaccination saves lives.
This is not Mercola's best effort. He really should have done his reading.
Skeptics Circle
Time for Flu Shots
The CDC has declared this week to be National Influenza Vaccination Week, and is working to raise awareness about the seriousness of influenza and the importance of vaccination. The agency reminds us that each year in the U.S., 5-20 %of the population gets the flu, and approximately 36,000 people…

This hypothesis has been so completely eviscerated it's a wonder he bothers to drag it out....Influenza vaccines have been shown to prevent flu-related morbidity and mortality in the elderly. C'mon, Joe---you can do better than that....etc.
Read the comments on his site. Does it sound like any of those people are inclined to fact check this stuff? They feel like they're on the inside, the few, the smart ones (which is probably a very novel feeling for them), that is all that matters to them. Besides, compared to some of the magnetic ionic ancient Chinese healing energy crap that people pay handsomely to swallow Mercola is the very model of accuracy. (He did, after all, correctly quote the original article.)

Mercola IS an idiot, without a doubt. But whether he claims (or deserves) credit for any of the abovementioned illness-avoiding "secrets", some of them may not be entirely without merit. I follow all of those suggestions in addition to some others, like avoiding crowds during the peak of flu season. Oh, and when they start giving flu shots, I'm first in line every year. I like it best when I get a dose containing full-strength thimerosal, in the hope that it will free up a single-dose vial for someone who gives a shit. Sometimes when I'm feeling particularly daring, I even eat tuna.
The seasonality of seasonal flu is something I've been interested in for some time. While no one has yet provided a robust explanation for this phenomenon, seasonal variation in available levels of sunlight appears to be one of the more promising avenues of exploration. Whether it's directly connected with vitamin D or not (and it does appear that some of the claims regarding vitamin D and immunity deserve at least further investigation), I'm convinced enough that the potential benefits sufficiently outweigh the risks of aquiring skin cancer as to make the effort to get ten or fifteen minutes of sun on each of those numerous days when California winter weather makes it available. As a bonus, I'm less likely to suffer from seasonal affective disorder, the exact causal mechanism of which, while also poorly understood, is definitely associated with light. I'm actually not thoroughly convinced that hand washing significantly reduces the risk of exposure to influenza (in particular), though I'm borderline obsessive about that, too.
What makes a guy like Mercola dangerous isn't that he's completely wrong about everything, but that some of his ideas have at least some basis in fact. Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

**sigh** I heard the same crap you attribute to Mercola from an RN at the VA med center I'm part of last month. She was spreadin g the word, so to speak. When so-called professionals believe it, what's a layperson to do? PS- the RN was incensed that I, a mere PhD and med school faculty member would dare to correct her.

Ok smart ass MArk.let's see your proof they work.. I just did a pub med search for a paper in grad school and guess what? I aint finding good things about flu vaccine in terms of hospitalizations, MD visits absenteeism.. Pneumo vax yes but flu vaccine no..
if they dont guess right a season before, the flu vaccine is worthless.. show me stats on the right hypothesis and I will believe you. Unitl then I will keep taking my vit D and work as a nurse making some OT while the rest of my Flu vaccine coolaid drinking coworkers call in sick like they do every winter.. inf act just after this years mass vaccination the sick calls were insane!!!

I think Mercola is right on track. I haven't had a flu shot in 15 years and haven't had the flu since. I do all the things he says to do, and I feel great, as do my husband and daughter. Eating right is everything. It amazes me how people fight lifestyle changes (diet and exercise) but want to take pills and shots for everything. What a waste of money. All he is saying is improve your immune system (like with Vit D) and your body can fight the flu. We really don't know what the long term effects of all these drugs are. And when the day is done, so many more people die from drunk driving accidents than flu, but that doesn't make the front page.

Mercola is "off" on certain dietary things, However, he's right about vaccines and some other things.
No. He's not. Not by a wide margin. He's so far from "right" that the light from "right" is going to take a thousand years to reach him.

Immigration Week To Be Celebrated In AZ
TUSCON - Immigration Week will explore the complex issue of immigration in Arizona with experts sharing research and experience during free and open to the public events on the UA campus.
The University of Arizona College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, known as SBS, will present Immigration Week focusing on immigration issues in Arizona during the week of March 20.
SBS will bring a rich, interdisciplinary perspective to this complex issue with UA and outside experts and community panels on immigration and social justice, law and security, public health and the economy, as well as films, poetry, music, a youth engagement day and a daylong UA SBS research showcase.
"We have scholars participating from anthropology, sociology, journalism, geography, history, gender and women's studies, the Southwest Center, the Southwest Institute for Research on Women, Mexican American studies and Latin American studies. Our faculty will join with other experts from both on campus and in the community to lead the dialogue about a topic that is so important to our state and the country," said John Paul Jones III, dean of SBS.
"The goals of these events include providing opportunities to learn about immigration and to discuss immigration issues through civil discourse, with a special focus on understanding the root causes of immigration and on proposing reasonable solutions," Jones said.
The event schedule is as follows:
March 20, 5-7 p.m. – The panel discussion "Southwest Entry Point: Immigration and Human Rights" will examine how we reconcile both the human face of immigration and the societal impact. Panelists include Isabel Garcia, co-chair of the Coalición de Derechos Humanos; Raquel Rubio-Goldsmith, adjunct lecturer in Mexican American studies; Isaías G. Noguez, coordinator of political affairs and outreach, Mexican Consulate, Tucson; and Mike Wilson, Tohono O'odham human rights activist. The discussion with be moderated by Joseph Wilder, director of the UA Southwest Center. It will be held in the Social Sciences Building, Room 100.
March 21, 5-7 p.m. – The UA Poetry Center will host "Vuela, Vuela Palomita:" An Evening of Immigration Poetry and Corridos (Songs). The evening will be emceed by Javier D. Durán, associate professor in Spanish and Portuguese and director of the UA's interdisciplinary Center, Confluence. Sociology professor Celestino Fernández will lead the audience through an historical overview of the corrido, a Mexican ballad form of poetry put to song. Performers Guillermo Sáenz and Ted Warmbrand will bring to life many of these songs. Additionally, John Washington, a UA creative writing graduate student, and poets will give dramatic readings of poetry related to immigration topics. Artwork about border issues also will be displayed, including work by SBS alumnus Joel Garcia.
March 22, 7-9 p.m. – The film "Asalto del Sueño" will be presented by Voices of Opposition, with an introduction, question and answer session and discussion by Linda Green, director of the Center for Latin American Studies and associate professor of anthropology. "Asalto del Sueño," or "Assaulted Dream," is a documentary by Uli Stelzner about the trials immigrants face traveling to the U.S. The event will be in the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Auditorium, Room S202.
March 23, 4-5:45 p.m. – A lecture titled "What Immigration Raids Tells Us about Latino Families and the State" will be given by Mary Romero, a professor of justice and social inquiry at Arizona State University. The event will be hosted by the UA's Binational Migration Institute, and the discussion following the lecture will be moderated by Anna Ochoa O'Leary, co-director of the UA Binational Migration Institute and assistant professor in Mexican American studies. The event will be held in the Cesar E. Chavez Building, Room 205.
March 23, 6-8 p.m. – In the panel discussion "Balancing Neighborhood and Nation: Immigration, Security and the Law," law enforcement agents and lawyers who specialize in immigration-related work will discuss the relationship between immigration and national security.

RALEIGH - OCTOBER 4: FLOTUS, Michelle Obama, speaking to students at NC State University. Other speakers were former governor Jim Hunt and Deborah Ross, on October 4th, 2016 in Raleigh, USA.
Michelle Obama's new book, Becoming, is now the best-selling book of 2018.
Penguin Random House announced Friday that the former first lady's memoir has sold over 2 million copies in North America in hardcover, e-book and audio sales. Becoming sold a massive 725,000 copies on its first day in print, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Angie Thomas' The Hate U Give and Watergate journalist Bob Woodward's Fear: Trump in the White House were the two books in the running to receive the year's top-selling honor, but they were surpassed by Becoming, per EW.
Obama's book topped the nonfiction best-seller lists in the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Norway, per Quartz.
In Becoming, Obama details her life growing up on the South Side of Chicago, meeting and falling in love with future president Barack Obama and balancing life as a working mother.
Obama is currently on a book tour and will be at London's Royal Festival Hall today (Monday) speaking with writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
The new author announced that she had to cancel her tour dates for Paris and Berlin on Dec. 5 and Dec. 6 to attend the funeral of former President George H.W. Bush, who passed away in Houston on Friday at age 94.

Citation styles can be difficult to learn.
Here are links to guides for some of the most popular style guides.
These Guides are from OWL, the Purdue Online Writing Lab.
APA (American Psychological Association) is most commonly used to cite sources within the social sciences. This resource, revised according to the 6th edition of the APA manual, offers examples for the general format of APA research papers, in-text citations, endnotes/footnotes, and the reference page.
When using APA format, follow the author-date method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, E.g., (Jones, 1998), and a complete reference should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.
If you are referring to an idea from another work but NOT directly quoting the material, or making reference to an entire book, article or other work, you only have to make reference to the author and year of publication in your in-text reference.
APA style requires authors to use the past tense or present perfect tense when using signal phrases to describe earlier research. E.g., Jones (1998) found or Jones (1998) has found...
As with any citation stystem using it correctly protects the writer from accusations of plagiarism. As mentioned earlier in this guide proper citation builds credibility to the paper by demonstrating accountability to source material.
If you are asked to use APA format, be sure to consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition, second printing.

Pepperdine University Libraries subscribe to the Chicago Manual of Style Online
The Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) covers a variety of topics from manuscript preparation and publication to grammar, usage, and documentation. These resources follow the sixteenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style, which was issued in September 2010.
There are two main styles:
The Notes-Bibliography System (NB), which is used by those in literature, history, and the arts.
The Chicago NB system is most often used in humanities and provides writers with a system for referencing their sources through footnote or endnote citation in their writing and through bibliography pages.
The Author-Date System, which is preferred in the sciences.
In the Author-Date System each citation consists of two parts: the text citations, which provides brief identifying information within the text, and the reference list (list of sources used) which provides full bibliographic information.

Plagiarism is presenting another's words, analysis, interpretation or other work as your own. It is intellectual theft, academically dishonest, compromises your reputation and jeopardizes your college career.
Plagiarism is not the same thing as copyright violation. Violating copyright is a legal concept, plagiarism is an ethical concept; you can commit plagiarism without violating copyright and, you can violate copyright without committing plagiarism.
Forms of Plagiarism
Quoting without attribution
Paraphrasing or rephrasing without attribution
Presenting an interpretation, ideas or opinions without attribution
Using graphs, statistics, art, music that are not considered to be common knowledge without attribution
Self plagiarism, including reusing the same paper for multiple classes.
Ideas:
Plagiarized idea: If you take away all other forms of government people will natural create a democracy.
Attributed: According to Thomas Paine, in the absence of any other form of government people would create a democracy.
Quotations:
Plagiarized quote: Thomas Paine said that he offered simple fact, plain arguments and common sense.
Attributed: Thomas Paine said that he "offered simple fact, plain arguments and common sense."
Paraphrasing:
Original text: "Europe is too thickly planted with kingdoms to be long at peace, and whenever a war breaks out between England and any foreign power, the trade of America goes to ruin, because of her connection to England." (Source, Thomas Paine's Common Sense)
Plagiarism through paraphrase: Because Europe has so many kingdoms when England is at war with one of them American trade is ruined because of her connection with England.
Plagiarized interpretation: The first modern journalist was Thomas Paine because of the way he used media.
Attributed: According to Katz, Thomas Paine can be considered the first modern journalist because of his effective use of media (print) against a power structure (monarchy). Jon Katz The Age of Paine Wired 3.05 May 1995
Reuse of your own content such as text, charts or graphs, without attribution. This is considered plagiarism because it does not credit the original source and misleads readers into believing this new, original, content.

There are many ways to avoid plagiarism, including developing good research habits, good time management, and taking responsibility for your own learning. Here are some specific tips:
Don't procrastinate with your research and assignments.
Good research takes time. Procrastinating makes it likely you'll run out of time or be unduly pressured to finish. This sort of pressure can often lead to sloppy research habits and bad decisions. Plan your research well in advance, and seek help when needed from your professor, from librarians and other campus support staff.
Commit to doing your own work.
If you don't understand an assignment, talk with your professor. Don't take the "easy way" out by asking your roommate or friends for copies of old assignments. A different aspect of this is group work. Group projects are very popular in some classes on campus, but not all. Make sure you clearly understand when your professor says it's okay to work with others on assignments and submit group work on assignments, versus when assignments and papers need to represent your own work.
Be 100% scrupulous in your note taking.
As you prepare your paper or research, and as you begin drafting your paper. One good practice is to clearly label in your notes your own ideas (write "ME" in parentheses) and ideas and words from others (write "SMITH, 2005" or something to indicate author, source, source date). Keep good records of the sources you consult, and the ideas you take from them. If you're writing a paper, you'll need this information for your bibliographies or references cited list anyway, so you'll benefit from good organization from the beginning.
Cite your sources scrupulously.
Always cite other people's work, words, ideas and phrases that you use directly or indirectly in your paper. Regardless of whether you found the information in a book, article, or website, and whether it's text, a graphic, an illustration, chart or table, you need to cite it. When you use words or phrases from other sources, these need to be in quotes.
Understand good paraphrasing.
Simply using synonyms or scrambling an author's words and phrases and then using these "rewrites" uncredited in your work is plagiarism, plain and simple. Good paraphrasing requires that you genuinely understand the original source, that you are genuinely using your own words to summarize a point or concept, and that you insert in quotes any unique words or phrases you use from the original source. Good paraphrasing also requires that you cite the original source. Anything less and you veer into the dangerous territory of plagiarism.
