Futbol Club Barcelona is a football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain that competes in La Liga, the most senior football league in Spain. Since its founding in 1899, the club has had 41 different presidents. The club is owned by the club-members of FC Barcelona, and similarly to a limited liability company, they elect the president by a ballot. The president has the responsibility for the overall management of the club, including formally signing contracts with players and staff. In Spain, it is customary for the president to watch the games in which the first-team participates, together with the president from the opposing team.

History

On 22 October 1899, Swiss sportsman Joan Gamper placed an advertisement in the Los Deportes newspaper declaring his wish to form a football club in the city. A positive response resulted in a meeting at the Gimnasio Solé on 29 November which eleven men attended, including Walter Wild, later to become the first president of the club, and Bartomeu Terradas, who became the second president. As a result of this meeting FC Barcelona was formed.

In 1908, Gamper became club president for the first time, taking over the presidency to save the club from extinction. The club had not won anything since the Campionat de Catalunya in 1905, and as a result was experiencing severe financial difficulties. Gamper was subsequently club president on five separate occasions between 1908 and 1925 and spent 26 years with the club.  One of his main achievements was to help Barça acquire its own stadium and thus a way of generating stable income.  An annual pre-season competition, the Joan Gamper Trophy, has been held in his honour since 1966.

The team won six Campionat de Catalunya titles between 1930 and 1938, but success at national level (with the exception of the 1937 disputed title) evaded them. From the formation of La Liga until 1978, Barcelona had 20 different presidents, meaning each presidential period lasted on average two-and-a-half years. In 1978 Josep Lluís Núñez became the first elected president of FC Barcelona, and ever since members of the club have elected the club president. The process of electing a president of FC Barcelona was closely tied to Spain's transition to democracy in 1974 and the end of Franco's dictatorship. Núñez's main objective was to develop Barça into a world-class club by giving it stability both on and off the pitch. His presidency lasted for 22 years, making him the longest-serving president.

After the departure of Núñez in 2000, his vice-president through 22 years, Joan Gaspart took over the club. During his presidency of the club, the team won no trophies and, after two-and-a-half years Gaspart resigned his position on 12 February 2003 when the team lay in 15th place, two points above relegation. Enric Reyna was elected as temporary president until the board resigned on 5 May 2003. Hereafter an interim commission presided until the general elections were held. On 15 June 2003 Joan Laporta entered office and was the most successful president in terms of Champions league trophies. The club won the Champions League twice within three years and completed an "unprecedented sextuple" by winning the 2008–09 La Liga, 2008–09 Copa del Rey, 2009 Supercopa de España, 2008–09 UEFA Champions League, 2009 UEFA Super Cup and 2009 FIFA Club World Cup.

On 13 June 2010, Sandro Rosell was elected president of FC Barcelona with more than 60% of the vote of Barça's club members, and he formally took over the presidency on 1 July 2010. He resigned in 2014 as a result of a scandal involving the signing of Neymar.

Josep Maria Bartomeu replaced Rosell on January 23, 2014, before resigning in October 2020. A management commission lead by Carles Tusquets took over until Joan Laporta was elected for a second time on 7 March 2021 with over 54% of the vote.

Amazon agreed to buy Whole Foods for $13.7 billion in a blockbuster deal that could have a big impact on New York's retail real estate market.
Whole Foods, a grocery store chain, has 11 prime locations in New York City, and is widely known as one of the city's most sought-after retail tenants. The retailer has been struggling with declining sales in recent years and saw its stock price lose half its value since 2013, the Wall Street Journal reported.
In January, Whole Foods reached a deal to bring its lower-priced concept store to Two Trees' 300 Ashland Place in Fort Greene. The retailer is also bringing a 60,000-square-foot store to Brookfield Property Partners' 5 Manhattan West, and is building out a space at Harry Macklowe's 1 Wall Street.
Amazon, an online retail giant, offers grocery deliveries and buying Whole Foods could open up new ways to reach customers. The company has also been been opening brick-and-mortar stores and is expected to open a bookstore in the Time Warner center, where Whole Foods also happens to be a tenant.
Amazon is also said to be considering taking 350,000 square feet of office space at 5 Manhattan West.

With a "significant" storm expected along the Pacific coast in the Big Sur area sometime Tuesday, Caltrans has issued an advisory for drivers who use State Highway 1 in the Mud Creek and Paul's Slide areas in Monterey County to prepare for possible weather-related closures of the highway in those areas, Caltrans said Sunday.
The possible Highway 1 closures would be at Mud Creek, 8.9 miles north of the San Luis Obispo County line, and at Paul's Slide, 21.6 miles north of the county line.
Caltrans spokeswoman Susana Cruz noted that both areas suffered major mud and rock slides in the past few years, and are still "settling" following those episodes.
Caltrans reopens both sides of I-80 after whiteout conditions
Temperatures around Bay Area dive below freezing, triggering black ice warning
"These slides need time to stabilize and get used to themselves, to settle," Cruz said. "This is the first winter after the big slides, and they are still settling."
This 48-hour warning is primarily for residents of these areas to stock up on provisions and make alternative travel arrangements, and for travelers to find other routes around the Big Sur area.
Cruz said the advisory will be reevaluated Monday, and more information about the pending Tuesday storm is available.

Laura grew up in a pastor's home in Northern Wisconsin. She is the youngest of three girls and has been blessed with two sisters and brothers-in-law all deeply involved in various ministries. At the age of 13, she came to realize her own personal need for a Savior rather than depending on the faith of her parents or even her own religious practices. She has been actively involved in music and children/youth ministries since that time, even traveling as a representative of her Bible college speaking and singing in churches across the Western U.S. and Hawaii for two years. The Lord has given her a passion for the written word, and Laura has spent the past 13 years developing and polishing both her verbal and written communication in order to be more effective in her outreach. In 1999 the Lord laid it on her heart to begin publishing a paper dedicated to Christian girls and ladies around the world for the purposes of encouragement and fellowship. The paper grew and in just 7 years God had blessed 'Daughters of Faith' with more than 300 subscribers and six recurring contributing writers. However, in 2007, 'Daughters of Faith' was forced to cease publication when Laura moved to California to attend college and was unable to find a suitable co-editor to share in the responsibilities of publication. Laura started the blog – 'Going Public' – while in college for the purpose of encouraging fellow believers to live their lives out loud for Christ. However, life was still hectic and she was unable to really pour all of her energy and focus into her writing. It wasn't until late 2013 that the Lord lead to combine the two projects (the former, Daughters of Faith, and her blog) into one and the current 'Going Public' team was born. Her desire is that in 'Going Public' believers will find the encouragement needed to walk boldly with the Lord, unashamed of the Gospel, proclaiming Christ through every word and deed.

#FeelGoodFriday: Midnight Skies – 'Falling Apart'
06/12/2019 05/12/2019 Rob ManhireLeave a comment
When Matt emailed me to say we had some Pop-Punk to review, I was on it like skaters on a freshly waxed library fire escape. Anyone who knows me, knows I love Pop-Punk and I've ruined a fair few Spotify algorithms whilst DJing in the passenger seat, to prove the point (sorry Allen!). Here's what we had to make of 'Falling Apart' from Pop-Punkers Midnight Skies…
'Falling Apart' is the third single from Seattle's Midnight Skies. The trio only formed in the summer of 2018 but have been steadily releasing content and building a decent following in that time. As always, the Pop-Punk scene is awash with bands claiming "energetic live shows", "fun-loving" and "always up for a party" but at the end of the day, good tracks in this genre need three things and this review is broken down across such things:
Thing #1 – It needs to be "short and sweet" – and unfortunately 'Falling Apart' is a full 4 minutes long. Now it would be wrong to judge purely on the length of a song but it doesn't feel like the track uses the time well. This single could have easily ended prior to its middle 8 and no one would have noticed, but the change of pace here is welcome and worth the wait. The song then classically falls back into its chorus, as it should, but rather than ending here, there is a 30-second outro that dampens the energy of the song by drawing it out for too long. It feels like the band are trying to crowbar in all the features we enjoy in a good Pop-Punk song, some of which really work, others not so much.
Thing #2– It's gotta be catchy! All great Pop-Punk anthems have great hooks and this is no exception. The chorus has a great melodic and lyrical hook which I haven't stopped humming around the house since my first listen. Its initial repetitiveness, followed by the falling melody with the title lyrics bring memories back to classics from Hit The Lights and Forever The Sickest Kids, leaning slightly more towards the pop than punk element of the genre. This also comes through in the production of the track, which contains many effects across the track, especially on the vocals. Personally, I have never been a big fan of this, but I know some will love it!
Finally Thing #3 – Does it get the party started? Absolutely! It's definitely a track that will at least get your head nodding, but stick it on at a party and I think it would get people dancing. Mostly this is down to the driving rhythm and the use of the double snare hits on the drums that give the track a lot of pace. This only relents within that middle 8 section which slows the pace down and adds some nice dynamics to the track.
Overall, this is a good track but it struggles to stand out in an already dominated field. However, if you saw these guys live and heard this track, you would remember it and hearing it again would send you back to a good night out. It feels like a blank canvas ready for you to attach your own good times and every time you put it on, I hope it would cast you back to a good night out with friends.
For Fans Of:
Forever The Sickest Kids, All Time Low, The Summer Set

#FeelGoodFriday: Steve Aoki & Darren Criss – 'Crash Into Me'
Steve Aoki is known for being an incredible musician, DJ and producer, for having worked with countless incredible artists and for his unique brand of EDM music. Darren Criss is known for his acting and singing talents in Glee and for portraying Andrew Cunanan in the second series of American Crime Story. But, together they have created this incredibly catchy, upbeat and all-round feel-good version of Dave Matthews Band's classic track, 'Crash Into Me'.
23 years after the original release of the song, the pair have created a rather unlikely cover that just works so well! They have beautifully blended real instruments (acoustic guitar) with some incredible dance elements, Darren Criss' smooth, pop vocals plus one hell of sick drop, to turn this ballad into an EDM powerhouse of a track that is just all-out, unapologetic fun.
It certainly isn't an obvious choice of cover but the pair have made a song that I just can't get enough of – put it on, turn it up and just enjoy every moment of it.
Check out the quirky, yet rather funny video (below) too – the animation is pretty hilarious!

#FeelGoodFriday: Kesha – 'Raising Hell' featuring Big Freedia
It's been a couple of years now since Kesha released her rather open, honest and clearly very healing 2017 album, Rainbow.
Now, 2019 sees the pop songstress release a downright catchy-as-hell new single, 'Raising Hell' (featuring Big Freedia), which also comes alongside the announcement of her next record, High Road.
This latest song sees Kesha return to a more fun-filled pop sound but with a fresh feel and something seriously uplifting about it! The brass-led breakdowns are funky and will get a crowd moving, whilst gospel-like moments really raise the spirit of the track. It's definitely the kind of track you can keep on repeat.
It also arrives with a music video directed by Luke Gilford, where Kesha assumes the role of a big-haired, '80s-style televangelist, preaching her own unique message and making the congregation speak in tongues…that is before things take a very dark turn! Well worth a watch (below)!
Her new album, High Road, comes out 10th January 2020, and is set to feature the likes of Sturgill Simpson, Brian Wilson, Dan Reynolds (of Imagine Dragons) and Nate Ruess (of fun.) – personally, I can't wait!!!

#FeelGoodFriday: Safetysuit – 'Victory'
SafetySuit are undoubtedly one of my favourite bands – their sound is just so epic, it would easily fill a stadium and have everyone in it jumping and singing at the top of their voices.
To date, the band have had 3 studio albums but their latest single, 'Victory', is one heck of a belter! It's heavily guitar-driven with a pounding drum-line and some seriously atmospheric bass booms that hammer through your chest…and all that is topped off with a chorus that just begs to be sung at full pelt. It feels like an anthem for the masses and like a song that was made to unite people…and that is certainly the intention behind the special release.
The track has been released in accordance with the band's running of the Tennessee Ultra Ragnar, in support of the charity, Go 4 The Goal, who fund paediatric cancer research and support many children and families battling the disease.
Support the cause by visiting http://safetysuitmusic.com/victory and buying a bundle – the money raised from the package sales will be donated to Go 4 The Goal.
Sadly, no music video has been released for this song, but it certainly conjures up some emotive images. If one is released, we'll be sure to keep you updated.

#FreakyFriday: YONAKA – 'F.W.T.B. (F**king With The Boss)'
YONAKA are an edgy, in-your-face, Brighton-based band that have just released the follow-up to their October 2017 EP, Heavy. Their new single, 'F.W.T.B.' is a monstrous track that is all about self-empowerment!
Front-woman and lead singer, Theresa Jarvis, has stated that, "The song is a big "f**k you" to anyone who tries to get in your way and tell you no. It's about taking back the power, standing up for yourself and being heard."
It is a track that reigns very true for me personally and it's great to hear a song that is about standing up for what you believe in. It's also the perfect track for our first #FreakyFriday post – something a bit different to our usual #FeelGoodFriday posts.
Not only have the band been gathering a lot of support and notoriety with the press, but they are scheduled for a string of European festival dates this summer with a big headline date at the Electric Ballroom, London on 11th October 2018 too! (Tickets available here).

#FeelGoodFriday: Marianas Trench – 'Rhythm Of Your Heart'
Marianas Trench (Brighton show review here) are a pop rock band from Canada, who formed in 2001 and is fronted by the multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Josh Ramsay.
To date, the band have released four full-length albums and in 2017, the band released this incredibly catchy, pop-infused, synth-driven anthem, 'Rhythm Of Your Heart'. No details of a new album have been mentioned as yet, but with a strong single like this, surely one must be in the pipeline?!
The video (below) is pretty funky with all its neon-ness too.

#FeelGoodFriday: Shawn Mendes – 'In My Blood' & 'Lost In Japan'
March 2018 saw the return of Shawn Mendes, who brought us not just one, but two brand new singles, both of which vary greatly in style but have equally brilliant Feel-Good Friday vibes. We just couldn't decide which one to share, so figured, why not share both?!
'In My Blood' is a (pop)-rock ballad that transcends from a soft, despairing beginning into a thunderous, passionate anthem by the very first chorus and continues to soar from there. This track shows off just how incredible Mendes' vocals are with their raspy tones that show just how intensely meaningful this song is.
Meanwhile, 'Lost In Japan' is a melting pot of contemporary funk with R&B and pop flavours too; it's very reminiscent of something by Justin Timberlake. This track is also passionate but in a very different way; lyrically the song expresses how Mendes would happily travel the globe just to be close to his lover, all of which sits atop a heavy bassline and groovy guitar rhythms.
Sadly, no music videos have been released as yet, but as soon as they do, we'll be sure to keep you updated.

Virology. 1999 May 10;257(2):472-82.
The isolation of the ectodomain of the alphavirus E1 protein as a soluble hemagglutinin and its crystallization.
Wengler G1, Wengler G, Rey FA.
Institut für Virologie, Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen, Giessen, 35392, Germany.
Alphaviruses are isometric enveloped viruses approximately 70 nm in diameter. The viral surface contains 80 glycoprotein spikes arranged in a T = 4 lattice. Each of these spikes consists of three heterodimers of the viral membrane proteins E1 (approximately 49 kDa) and E2 (approximately 51 kDa). Cryoelectron microscopic analyses have shown that the spikes form a protein shell on the viral surface. We have made an attempt to isolate biologically active protein fragments from this surface and to grow crystals from such fragments. To this end membrane proteins were extracted with Nonidet-P40 from the Semliki Forest alphavirus and the proteins were separated from detergent by centrifugation. A protein complex containing the E1 and E2 molecules in quantitative yield was obtained by this procedure. This complex has the following properties: It sediments at approximately 30S, it chromatographs with an apparent molecular mass of approximately 580,000 Da during gel filtration, it cannot be dissociated by either nonionic detergents or 6 M urea, and at acid pH it is a highly active hemagglutinin. The data indicate that this 30S hemagglutinin complex, which has not been hitherto described for alphaviruses, may represent a variant form of the protein lattice present on the alphavirus surface. Cleavage of this complex by subtilisin selectively removes carboxy-terminal sequences from the E1 and E2 proteins, which contain the cytoplasmic and transmembrane segments of the proteins and a small part of their ectodomain. The remaining ectodomains are called E1DeltaS and E2DeltaS. This proteolysis also leads to dissociation of the 30S complex. The cleavage products accumulate in the form of a heterodimer of the E1DeltaS and E2DeltaS proteins. Treatment of the heterodimer with PNGase F leads to rapid removal of carbohydrate from the E2DeltaS protein and a dissociation of the complex into the constituent molecules, which can be separated by chromatography. The finding that the heterodimer and the purified E1DeltaS protein both function as hemagglutinin at acid pH indicates that the E1 protein represents the alphavirus hemagglutinin. We have obtained crystals of the E1DeltaS protein and are currently in the process of determining the atomic structure of this protein by the isomorphous replacement method.

The Uncommon Life
Uncommon Knowledge: Who Is The Animal Kingdom's Best Dance Crew?
Snowball the cockatoo was left at an Indiana animal rescue center with a note from his owner. "Snowball likes to dance to this," it said, referring to what was also left: a Backstreet Boys CD.
In 2007, Neurobiologist Aniruddh Patel stumbled upon a YouTube video of the bird, who appeared to be getting down to the boy band's "Everybody." If this bird were actually grooving to the beat, he wondered, it might have circuits in the brain for processing rhythm similar to ours.
So Patel paid a visit to Snowball and created an experiment to determine whether he was truly dancing—characterized by synchronized movements—or just looked like he was. Patel remixed the song at 11 different tempos, then recorded what Snowball did when his jam came on. For nine out of the 11 variations, he bobbed enthusiastically in sync (no pun intended)—well enough to consider him the first-ever nonhuman "dancer."
Inspired by Snowball's fancy footwork, Adena Schachner, then a psychology grad student at Harvard, went back to YouTube and narrowed thousands of clips of animals purportedly dancing to just 39 who seemed to genuinely synchronize. Twenty-nine were parrots, like Snowball, and the rest were Asian elephants, deeming a recreation of Dirty Dancing's "the lift" highly unlikely.

I love using AVG Free. It is a free antivirus that works. Yet when version 8.0 came out, a new service was added called LinkScanner. LinkScanner will try to identify sites that contain malware for you before you visit them. I did not need this service since I use Firefox, which has this service build in. So, as the type of person who tries to keep unnecessary services turned off, I disabled LinkScanner. If you do this you get a warning saying that you may not be fully protected. Another side effect is that the icon in the system tray turns grey and has an exclamation point.
Well this icon started to annoy me. Even though I was up to date on all my virus definitions and software patches, the icon was alerting me to turn on LinkScanner. I searched for weeks trying to find a solution for this. Finally, I found out a way to get rid of the grey icon with exclamation point and return it to a normal state.


Think of the most interesting person you know. Now, answer this question: why is this person interesting? Pause for a second to answer before you read on.
This question is a tough one for me, not because there are limited options to choose from but in fact the opposite. I am very fortunate to have a bunch of friends who are incredibly interesting, but I will only name a few here. Justin is a Clinical Pharmacist who saves peoples' lives every day as they battle against critical diseases, yet he is uber-curious still about everything and no topic is too complex or mundane worth investigating. Joe has mastered many skills, competed at high levels, and has lived a unique and diverse lifestyle, but he keeps exploring everything around him while remaining motivated to learn and willing to change. My father-in-law, Scott, seems to know everything one can know about nature, machines, and a variety of other topics, yet he still asks the simplest questions to anyone and everyone and he is always willing to sacrifice his ego in exchange for new information.
As you read on, I will explain why I believe that the most interesting people in the world, not just the ones I listed here, are all defined by the same attribute. Simply, these interesting people are the ones who show the most interest.
To get started, you should first understand the concept of social generosity. Being socially generous means giving up something of yourself in order to create a better connection or to make another person feel good. Social generosity is not a mindset, it is an action. People who seem interesting to others are socially generous. Their curiosity in other people and in the world around them lead them to give the gift of social generosity and to ultimately make others feel good about themselves.
Most of us, myself included, will struggle to ask this question because we nearly always enter our conversations with an agenda: we have something to say and we want to be heard. Our motives can be simplified into these two buckets. While most conversations carry on and as other people speak, the wheels in our brains continue to turn and think about what we will say next, how to get our point across, and how to be understood. Most of the time, even when we are listening we aren't really listening.
Fortunately, we have the ability to change all of that by practicing social generosity. We can enter into conversations looking to give something up. We can willingly volunteer our attention, our curiosity, and ourselves and we can give this gift without any expectation to receive. When we give social generosity we make others feel good, yes, but we also feel good about ourselves. When we truly set aside our egos and our desire to feel important we experience a fundamental change inside.
The only way to be truly interesting is to be interested.
The most interesting people I know are also the most curious. They ask a million questions, listen intently, and soak up new information. They genuinely care about others and others' interests. Their curiosity leads them to learn new things, keep an open mind, and build great relationships.
You may be reading this and thinking, "but I am already a good listener and already curious, so I don't think this really applies to me." This might be true, maybe you are wiser than me and have exercised this type of generosity for years. But even still, there is always room to improve in this area because we are referring to generosity. Think about this generosity literally, can you ever give too much to charity? Can you ever volunteer too much? Can you ever treat others too well? Yes, being socially generous starts by opening your ears and shutting your mouth but it doesn't end there. Being a good listener means truly caring and being genuinely curious, which takes time, practice, and consistency.
Do this: for the remainder of the day, try putting your own needs aside. Do away with the need to be heard, the want to be understood, and the desire to speak about yourself or the things you are into. When you are generous in this way, you completely stop thinking about yourself and you honestly and sincerely give. And as a result of this newfound state of giving, you will reap the infinite rewards that follow. The gift of social generosity is more precious than you may realize. Every time this happens, every time a person sets aside him or herself and gives this gift with no strings attached, amazing possibilities open up. Suicides are stopped, love is sparked, business partnerships grow deeper. Beyond that, lives are changed, new paths are created, and relationships are strengthened and restored. Hope is found and trust is earned. A gift is given and nothing is expected in return.
Want to be considered an interesting person? Want to change lives? Want to build lifelong friendships? The answers are here: be more curious, be interested in everyone and everything, be genuine and be generous.
The term "social generosity" and the inspiration for this post come from the Art of Manliness Podcast Episode #317: Why Your First Impression Matters & How to Improve It, featuring psychologist and author Ann Demarais.

The Senate on Tuesday by voice vote unanimously confirmed Peter Orszag as director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, retired Army Gen. Eric Shinseki as Department of Veterans Affairs secretary and the nominations of six other Cabinet secretaries, the Los Angeles Times reports (Hook, Los Angeles Times, 1/21). According to the Wall Street Journal, Orszag, former director of the Congressional Budget Office, likely will "work closely with Mr. Obama to help reduce federal spending, and to overhaul health care spending," which Orszag has "repeatedly stated is crucial to getting the U.S. back on a sound financial footing" (Boles/Yoest, Wall Street Journal, 1/21). Among other promises, Shinseki has said that he will seek to improve the delivery of benefits to veterans (Schatz, CQ Today, 1/20).
The Senate also likely will confirm HHS Secretary-designate and former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.), but his nomination first requires approval by the Senate Finance Committee (Sands, Washington Times, 1/20). A review of tax records conducted by committee Republicans has delayed a vote on the Daschle nomination (Los Angeles Times, 1/21). The committee has not scheduled a date for the vote (CQ Today, 1/20).

In 1994 we were just married, starting out our life together. We were like a lot of young couples trying to get ahead in careers that saw us working 50 – 60 hours a week and growing a little bit further in debt as we tried to acquire a few of the things everyone wants in life.
We naively started a traditional business with inventory, employees and a lot of risk only to see our entire investment vanish and our debt load increase even more.
After investigating dozens of business ideas we found a simple but powerful concept that we were able to start part time from home on a shoe string budget that within 12 months allowed us to replace both of our annual full time incomes!
So I guess the question is, Why Not You Too?! Imagine waking up every day stress free , able to decide what you want to do! Imagine working with people you truly care about and enjoy spending time with. Imagine having a choice, a passion and truly loving life.
Today our passion is bringing others along with us on this Journey.

Kathryn Cornelius
It was a brisk April morning as I made my way to Kathryn's home studio. I was happy to know that we were relatively close to one another in NW DC and was able to visit her studio on foot. Twenty minutes later I was at her door. I stood on her front porch and pushed the door bell. No answer. After a couple more pushes with no answer, I leaned over the railing to ask the elderly woman sitting on the porch next door if this is where a woman with dark brown hair lives. She shook her head and said she had no idea.
I thought I had the wrong house or even the wrong street, but just as I was about to make one last call, the door swung open and Kathryn calmly greeted me and led me through her cozy house into her bright kitchen. The aroma of French pressed coffee filled the kitchen and was a welcome sight after the chilly morning walk. Coffees in hand, we chit chatted about the house, the neighborhood and neighbors. The stories all seemed familiar and parallel in a neighborhood that is slowly being gentrified. After sharing more similar experiences, she led me down to her studio space.
My first reaction was how organized and spacious her basement studio is for a relatively small square footage. Two walls are lined with equipment and bookshelves while another wall is anchored by a large desk where all her computer equipment is. "This is where I spend the majority of my time" she said pointing to the desk. This makes sense as Cornelius' work, in addition to performance, is primarily video based. Her work is driven by ideas and methodological concepts from various philosophers and writers including Foucault and Bourdieu.
"My practice is largely project-based, situated in research and my interdisciplinary background, informed by methodologies from Bourdieuian sociology, linguistics, cultural anthropology, social network theory, and Human Computer Interaction & Design." Quoted from her artist statement.
Her work has commented on various socio-political issues including the critique of the art fair and the posh parties that revolve around the art fair. A related performance took place at the one time DC Art Fair of 2007 at the Washington Convention Center. Cornelius' piece entitled "Recognition" was not just a critique on the art fair, but a critique on performance itself. "I exaggerated the entertainment value of performance art by staging a Hollywood-style affair and challenged the concept of liveness in technology and performance."
She's certainly interested in issues of power and persona — between the viewer and the performer, the entertainer and the entertained, the subject and the other. Although the content of her work has shifted to being more personal, her approach and interest still seems couched in creating an experience for the viewer where it puts them in a position of power– or at least in a position to question it: the power and position to create ones own narrative.
Her process of mapping out the framework for each video work is akin to the story board in filmmaking. Drawn by hand, she visually pieces together a sequence of little rectangles to represent time. They reminded me of music notes on a staff or drawings by Louise Bourgeois. After showing me around the space, she reached for her "granny sweater" for a bit of authenticity. "This is what I always wear when I'm working". She snapped on her headphones and went to work.
Kathryn currently serves as a member of the Board of Directors at the Arlington Arts Center and is represented by Curator's Office here in D.C. Her new show "The Feeling of What Happens" is up through June 17.

Wafer on thin ice with Celtics
Scott Souza/Daily News staff
Celtics coach Doc Rivers said after last night's open practice at TD Garden that the final roster cut may come following tonight's preseason finale.
After struggling badly at the start of training camp, former Florida State sharpshooter Von Wafer might have found his game just in time to make the final 15 when the Celtics open against the Heat next Tuesday.
Wafer was one of the bright spots in last night's 16-minute scrimmage, taking the ball to the basket against Shaquille O'Neal and Kevin Garnett, and knocking down open shots.
"He's been more aggressive," Rivers said. "He still has to buy in defensively and into our culture. I think he'll do that."
That's if Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge and Rivers give him the time.
After a terrible start to the preseason, in which he went scoreless and didn't make a shot in 25 minutes over the first three games, Wafer has come on strong. He had 14 points (3-for-3 on treys) in 26 minutes against the Raptors on Friday and eight points (2-of-4 on treys) with five rebounds in 24 minutes against the Knicks on Saturday.
"I knew once I got my legs under me I'd be a little more explosive and knock down shots," he said. "I'm still not there yet. Almost there. I still have to get my legs under me a little more. When I get those legs under me, I'll be all set."
It begs the question: Why didn't the former Lakers' second-round pick, who played three games in Greece last season after failing to latch on with the Mavericks, have his legs securely under him to start camp?
"You can't really simulate game speed or simulate a practice," he said. "I can work out as much as I want to, but it's still not going to come close to these practices and exhibition games."
Wafer said he realized during camp he was wasting an opportunity - perhaps his last in the NBA after being on seven rosters in four years.
"I felt that (urgency) when I first got here and started working out," he said. "I needed to stop putting as much pressure on myself, though. I was bringing out a little bit of bad body language and I don't want them to think anything negative.
"I believe in myself so much. It's just real disappointing when I don't produce like I know I can."
The Celtics were hoping Wafer, who averaged 9.7 points per game and hit 64 3-pointers with the Rockets two years ago, would be the shooter off the bench Ainge talked about acquiring all summer.
Ray Allen is hoping he can still be that guy.
"In the second unit he's picked up more of the scoring burden," Allen said. "We haven't had that scoring punch (off the bench). You have had me and Paul (Pierce), and when he goes to the bench Doc's usually got to keep one of us out there. So (Wafer's presence) is why I believe this team is definitely deeper than years past."
Rivers returned to the Celtics yesterday after missing Monday's practice due to what the team called "minor throat surgery." That "minor surgery" was actually a procedure to remove a lesion from the coach's throat that he said tested negative in a biopsy.
"They had to make sure there was nothing there, and there was nothing," he said. "So I'm good. ... So, going to be around for a while, it looks like. I'm sure that's disappointing to everyone, especially my players."
Rivers said he has the screening done annually and recommends it for all coaches who make their living screaming at players and officials from the bench. ...
The Celtics brought in rookie forward Tiny Gallon for a workout yesterday. The 6-foot-8, 300-pounder was the Bucks' second-round draft pick but was cut loose Oct. 6.
Perhaps best known for shattering a backboard during a New Year's Eve game against Gonzaga last year, the University of Oklahoma product may be ticketed for Boston's D-League affiliate in Portland, Maine. ...
Rivers said Delonte West (back spasms), Avery Bradley (ankle) and Jermaine O'Neal (hamstring, back, hand) will all likely miss tonight's game. He expressed frustration about O'Neal's inability to stay on the court.
"That's disappointing, to be honest," Rivers said. "He has not had the preseason we would have liked him to have."

In any case, we have had great fun building the site on Oracle Application Express, packed full of PL/SQL APIs. And hundreds of developers have told us how much they have enjoyed and benefited from what I call "active learning" - not just reading a book or watching a video, but challenging oneself to test one's knowledge (and, if you like that sort of thing, competing with others).
Yes, competing. Humans love to compete (some of them, mostly I suppose men). They love to be ranked. They love to win. And we give them that opportunity on the PL/SQL Challenge.
We offer lots of different kinds of rankings: by player, by country, by company, by affiliation (e.g., user group). You can choose the competition, the date range, etc. Because of this wide variety, we decided to utilize APEX's fantastic Interactive Reports feature.
And suddenly we (with Eli definitely taking the lead here) were sure (desperate) that there had to be a better way, and we'd better figure out what that better way was.
Ideally, we would have just one report that would handle all of the variations we needed, in a way that the users would find easy to use.
Ideally, we would have a single view and just pass "parameters" to it, to alter its behavior and change the result set returned.
Sadly, views do not take parameters. But, wait....functions take parameters. If only we could call a function in the query.....well, we can! We can call a table function!
Now, some of you might be thinking: why would you need a table function? Why not just use a series of "mutually exclusive" queries combined with a UNION ALL?
I expect you get the idea from there. It's a long query (well, 143 lines, not all that crazy long), but it's fairly straightforward. No need for a table function.
When it came to the other reports, however, the table function came in very, very handy - because the logic and variations between the reports was more substantial.
In this post, I will explore how we applied table functions in our application, and go as far as the specification of the table function. In my next post, I will dive into the implementation of that function.
Hopefully you can see why we talk about queries based on table functions as a kind of parameterized view. I am passing argument values to the parameters of the function. The function then returns the dataset as rows and columns. So from the standpoint of a developer building the report, we have kept (made) things very simple. All the complexity has been moved inside the function.
Then I define a function that accepts the necessary parameters and returns a collection of that type.
So the public-facing side of my function is done. Time to dive inside! Unfortunately, I lead a busy, busy life at Oracle and right now I am on deadline to complete my next article for Oracle Magazine. Consequently, please accept my apologies for publishing this post without getting into the "good stuff." I promise that it is coming right along!

History of the 42-Gallon Oil Barrel
Petroleum Transportation
Skilled 19th century coopers made wooden barrels of all capacities, including hogsheads, puncheons, tierces, butts, and tuns.
Soon after America's first commercial oil well of 1859, a small group met in northwestern Pennsylvania and decided a 42-gallon barrel was best for transporting their oil.
By the 1860s, barges floated barrels of oil down the Allegheny River to Pittsburgh to be refined into a highly demanded product – kerosene for lamps. Image from an early oil company stock certificate.
When filled with oil instead of fish or other commodities, a 42-gallon "tierce" weighed 300 pounds. The 42-gallon oil barrel was officially adopted in 1866. Today, a barrel's refined products include about 20 gallons of gasoline, 12 gallons of diesel and 4 gallons of jet fuel and other products like liquefied petroleum gases and asphalt.
In August 1866 a handful of America's earliest independent oil producers met in Titusville, Pennsylvania, and agreed that henceforth, 42 gallons would constitute a barrel of oil. Pennsylvania led the world in oil production as demand for kerosene soared.
The 42-gallon standard was adopted by the Petroleum Producers Association in 1872.
Although pipelines would later challenge the oil region's teamsters, the business of moving oil depended mostly on men, wagons, horses, flatboats, and barrels.To reach railroad station and docks, teams of horses pulled wagons carrying as many as eight barrels of oil. Rugged northwestern Pennsylvania terrain and muddy roads added to transportation problems. Meanwhile, as derricks multiplied, forests along Oil Creek were reduced to barrel staves by recently introduced barrel-making machinery. Hoop mills operated day and night supporting cooperages that sprang up to join in the oil boom in what would later be called "the valley that changed the world."
Why a 42-gallon Oil Barrel?
Long before England's King Richard III defined the wine puncheon as a cask holding 84 gallons and a tierce as holding 42 gallons, watertight casks of many sizes were crafted by "tight" coopers.
A powerful guild, the Worshipful Company of Coopers, prescribed the manner of construction. Lesser skilled craftsmen (known as slack coopers) made casks, barrels, and pails for dry goods. Practical experience and custom made the 42-gallon watertight tierce a standard container for shipping everything from eel, salmon, herring, molasses, soap, butter, wine, and whale oil. The 42-gallon barrel became a familiar 19th century container.
Then came Edwin L. Drake's 1859 oil discovery at Titusville, Pennsylvania, the first commercial U.S. oil well. The petroleum exploration and production boom that followed it consumed wooden tierces, whiskey barrels, casks and barrels of all sizes.
A guild, the Worshipful Company of Coopers, prescribed the manner of construction for a watertight barrel. Lesser skilled craftsmen – slack coopers -made casks and pails for dry goods.
When filled with crude oil instead of fish or other commodities, a 42-gallon tierce weighed more than 300 pounds – about as much as a man could reasonably wrestle. Twenty would fit on a typical barge or railroad flatcar. Bigger casks were unmanageable and smaller were less profitable.
Contemporary photographs show cooperages' prodigious response to the new demand. Within a year of Drake's discovery, oil barrels were commonly considered to hold 42 gallons according to "The Oil Fountains of Pennsylvania" in Littells' Living Age of September 1860.
By 1866, these abundant tierce-sized barrels were the logical choice to become the industry's standard measure. The 42-gallon standard oil barrel was officially adopted by the Petroleum Producers Association in 1872 and the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines in 1882. The size soon became a key part of petroleum industry transportation infrastructure.
Pennsylvania's "valley that changed the world" also has connections to college football's Heisman Trophy. Among the late 19th century Titusville companies, the Oberly & Heisman cooperage on Bridge Street supplied 42-gallon barrels for the oil trade – providing Michael Heisman's son John an after school job.
John Heisman played varsity football for Titusville High School as a guard on the varsity team from 1884 to 1887. He graduated in 1887 and went on to become the legendary football coach for whom the Heisman Trophy is named.
Standard Oil "Blue Barrel" Myth
Technologies for making watertight casks replaced "tight" coopers and their guild. Standard Oil introduce a steel version of the 42-gallon oil barrel in 1902 with the same traditional bildged, cask-like appearance.
Not long after forming the Standard Oil Company in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1870, John D. Rockefeller focused on efficiency and growth for his new petroleum refining business.
Instead of buying oil barrels, Standard Oil bought tracts of oak timber, hauled the dried timber to Cleveland on its own wagons, and built the barrels in its own cooperage. Standard's cost per wooden barrel dropped from $3 to less than $1.50.
A persistent oilfield myth says that the abbreviation "bbl" for a barrel of oil resulted from Standard Oil Company's early practice of painting their barrels blue – bbl for "blue barrel."
However, while Ida Tarbell's controversial 1904 History of Standard Oil Company acknowledged the "holy blue barrel," the abbreviation "bbl" had been in use before the 1859 birth of the petroleum industry.
In the early 19th century, wooden barrels of all capacities were common containers of trade: hogsheads, puncheons, tierces, butts, tuns, and other long since forgotten terms.
Shipping manifests reveal that quantities of honey, rum, whale oil, and other commodities were shipped by the "bbl" – well before John D. Rockefeller and Standard Oil's blue barrels. For today's industry, the abbreviation simply signifies a 42-gallon (159 liters) unit of measure…of any color. Learn about the 55-gallon steel drum at Remarkable Nellie Bly's Oil Drum.

The Isle of Man is known for being one of the most reputable jurisdictions for online gambling in the world. It's where some of the biggest names have been based in the entire industry, and it's well-respected by everyone involved in the industry in any way. A recent report has shown that they have been growing quite a bit in this industry over the past year, and they generate a ton of revenues and jobs from it.
The biggest competition for online gambling in terms of the number of jobs being created and the total contribution to the economy is insurance. Since last year, they were able to beat out insurance for the first time by moving up to 16.7 percent of the total economy. Insurance is at 14.6 percent, for comparison. This happened because of a huge 30 percent growth, and to put it in perspective, if things would have stayed at the same level as last year, that 16.7 percent would be about 13 percent instead.
So why did it grow so much? The technology industry was the only industry to out-perform the growth that their online gambling businesses saw with a whooping 58 percent year-on-year. A lot of people are stumped when it comes to figuring out why they're able to see so much growth in this industry when many companies are floundering. The answer is that they're floundering because the competition in places like the Isle of Man is just so good. Even with major tax changes in places like the United Kingdom and Ireland, as well as other parts of the world, the Isle of Man is able to continue trucking along.
The Isle of Man has put a lot of work into making themselves attractive for eGaming businesses. The way they do this is by providing a lot of incentives, attractive tax rates and an attractive place to live for industry professionals. One of the easiest ways to build up a sector of the economy is by adding financial incentives, and this has worked extremely well as we can see with the whooping 30 percent growth that happened since last year.

How did your relationship with Wizkid kick off?
Funnily enough, I actually did a documentary with Wizkid that hasn't come out yet. Back in like 2011, when he first came to the UK, me and my business partner – Jimi, at JM Films – we had this opportunity that arose, and we ended up covering Wizkid on his first tour in the UK, his first few shows. It was actually Banky [W] that linked us up back then. It was a great time to meet [Wizkid], as well as be involved in the movement at that time. I wasn't even aware of how huge he was as an artist back then. So, for me, it's great to have grown and developed with him – with his visuals as well as his message – all these years, up until now.
And can you describe how your relationship has evolved?
Over the years, obviously Wizkid has made some fantastic music over the years, and amazing albums, and great projects in general. I used to work with him on smaller visuals, I went on tour with him and Chris Brown, I shot many content pieces for him as well, but I was also doing my music video thing. So, when the time was right, we ended up working together on a few videos. We did Seyi Shay "Crazy" where he was featuring, I think that was the first time I ever shot with him. Since then, we've shot so many things; from "Fever" to him and Skepta, and "Smile" and "No Stress" and a few more off this album, obviously – "Ginger" is coming up as well.
So you've been directing videos with Wizkid for some years now, what is the process of working with Wizkid on his music videos like?
Wiz likes to be involved in his art; he has a certain way he wants to represent himself. So, we have a conversation, I come back with ideas, sometimes I just have ideas straight off the top, but he always has an opinion, and I respect that. I respect an artist who knows how they want to be represented. You know, I guess that's why he's had so much longevity in the game, he's part of the process, he's part of the creative.
You've worked on all the Made in Lagos music videos so far, how does it feel to play such an instrumental role in such a monumental project?
Yeah, you know, when Wiz approached us to do it, he said he wants to work with JM films on it, it was an honour, to be honest. Because 'Made in Lagos' is such a powerful name for an album, the name alone has a personal connection to all of us, myself and my business partner, and Wiz especially. This is where we're from, where our families are from. So, for him to say "jump on board on this project," and we're gonna make these visuals that speak to the world – he's such a big voice – it was really nice for him to contact us and give us that look, and for us to be able to vibe with him creatively on it, it was good. I think that's how it should be.
How have the songs on Made in Lagos inspired your creative output on the videos so far?
As I said earlier, the title holds so much power. So, with every visual I just try to have a subtle reference back to Lagos, back to home. We're just trying to always tie it back to an African story, which is Wizkid's story. So in terms of inspiration, from me, I would say, Wizkid is Africa, and always trying to tie in that African story; wherever we shoot the video – whether it's in the UK, Nigeria, everywhere – there is an African story that reaches worldwide. There's so many of us in the diaspora that have different stories, we have our own stories as well. So, I just try and tap into each of those, so the Lagosian can appreciate it, as much as the Lagosian abroad, as much as the Nigerian who's never been to Nigeria but understands the culture.
What does 'Made in Lagos' mean to you?
I mean, in short, 'Made in Lagos' just means, 'strive to be great'. I feel like a lot of Lagosians, and Nigerians in general, have the drive that is more powerful than anybody else; and I think that Made In Lagos is just like a pinnacle, a nice marker of where Wiz is at right now, and where a lot of Nigerians find themselves at right now. We're actually excelling with what we're doing, we're being recognised and we're also proud to be made in Lagos – we're proud to shout that out. Years ago, it wasn't like that. Years ago, people weren't shouting Nigeria out like this, and being proud to be from Nigeria. Obviously, End SARS and all the [unrest] has shone a negative light on the country, but we're still here, we're still standing, we're still shining. We're still doing the best that we can do. So, I think that's what being from Lagos is: succeeding against the odds. I think that's what [Made In Lagos] is about.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been advised to use the next four years to review many challenges and setbacks with a view to consolidating on the gains recorded in the fight against corruption in the country.
The advice is coming from civil society groups and government agencies which converged in Abuja to seek ways of taking the war against corruption to the next level.
2018 global loss report shows a 40 billion U.S. dollars loss between 2001 – 2010 in Nigeria.
The challenge with corruption and money laundering is linked to poverty.
The 2019 elections that saw the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari comes with a lot of expectations on the fight against corruption, especially in the oil and gas industry.
Nigeria is a signatory to the open government partnership designed to encourage transparency and accountability, a member international extractive industries transparency initiative and many other anti-graft bodies all geared towards fighting corruption yet the scourge of corruption remains a major factor militating against development.

Bluebrain's 'The Living House'
Washington, DC проект от Ryan Holladay
'The Living House' transforms an empty, multi-room home on H Street into a singular sound piece -- each room becomes a stem of a larger, multitrack recording that includes melody, ambiance and sound design. Speakers are placed in 7 rooms (4 downstairs, 2 upstairs) with accompanying colored lights that flash in synchronization with their respective audio. Sound, quite literally, runs through the house. For instance, a singular synth note might start at the back of the house, gradually spilling over and spreading into the next room until it finds its way to the stairs and snakes up the house. Or perhaps the sound of actual footsteps travel from room to room, like ghosts. The sound of the floor creaking under pressure in a room upstairs is followed by the sound of that floor giving into the weight of an imagined bathtub as the speaker in the room directly below takes over and amplifies the sound of a collapsing floor. Sounds may be isolated to a single room at times, at other times each room might harmonize with one another, the entire house singing as one.
'The Living House' will run for 2 days over a weekend, with 30 people admitted entrance at a time through reservations.
Bluebrain is the Washington DC-based music duo of brothers Hays and Ryan Holladay. In their two years of existence, they've gained a local reputation for executing imaginative projects throughout the city and in collaboration with area institutions. Projects range from staging a 150-plus people 'boombox walk' to their most recent endeavor, a "location-aware album" designed for The National Mall. They've been featured in WIRED, Engadget, TIME, Fast Company and, for their National Mall project, a Style-section cover story in the Washington Post. More information available upon request--

The "Ye" In Archaic Names Like "Ye Olde Shoppe" Is Derived From A Middle English Symbol Called A?
Yogh
Fox Broadcasting Company/The Walt Disney Company
Answer: Thorn
Unbeknownst to many people, the "Ye" that appears in the names of purposely archaic locations like "Ye Olde Armorie" at the local renaissance festival, is not pronounced "yee" as in "bee", let alone with any "y" sound at all, but should actually be pronounced like the English article "the", as in "The Olde Armorie".
How exactly did such a strange spelling come about? Like all good jaunts into the history of English, it's a sprinkling of organic language development over time and a sprinkling of happenstance. In Old English, some dialects of Middle English, Gothic, Old Norse (runic alphabet), and persisting in modern Icelandic alphabets, you'll find a symbol, þ, called a "thorn". In Old English and Middle English, the symbol stood for the "th" sound—as found in "thick", "the", and "there"—but was later replaced by the modern digraph "th".
So where does "y" come into play? There was a period of time where the thorn symbol was still in use, but its shape grew less distinctive with the letter losing its ascender. As it started looking more like "ƿ" and less like þ—it was easy to substitute a "y" for the "ƿ" since the modified thorn symbol of the day looked a whole lot like a "y" with a closed top (and in many fonts the two were nearly indistinguishable).
Another reason for the shift was that "y" existed in the printer's type fonts imported from Germany and Italy, while thorn did not. In short order, the substitution became ubiquitous in English printing and "ye" as the article "the" was permanently cemented into the history of the English language with the 1611 printing of the Kings James Version of the Bible, where it appeared frequently in a very widely distributed printed work.
Lest you think that every instance of "ye" is being said incorrectly, however, know that there is an appropriate time to yell "ye" as in "bee" at a renaissance festival. While "ye", the article, should be pronounced as "the" (unless your goal is to ham it up by saying it incorrectly), "ye" as in the archaic second person plural pronoun is pronounced with a long vowel—the "ye" in "All hope abandon, ye who enter here!" should be pronounced like "yee".

Q: Why does this GLSL code compile and link even though it has a syntax error? I have a GLSL fragment shader with an intentional syntax error.
void main()
{
    // vec4 is ommitted
    gl_FragColor = (1,1,0,1);
}

But I can still compile and link it without errors. After running my application
I see nothing on the screen. Is this an odd behavior or something else?

A: You have used the comma operator.
Your code evaluates each of the comma separated number and discards them all except for the last one so it's equivalent to writing
gl_FragColor = (1);

where the parentheses is just for grouping, not a function call so can be ignored. When you assign a single value to a vector it replicates that value to all the components so your statement is the same as writing -
gl_FragColor = vec4(1,1,1,1);

Is the "background" white? In which case you'll see nothing.

Hennepin County records indicate the Isaac Campbell, accused of killing his girlfriend, Liya "Jessie" Lu, then stuffing her body in a trashcan and leaving it in his friend's Arcadia backyard, is still in custody there. It appears an extradition hearing is scheduled for December. Here's a link.

An Emmer Green cyclist is being "forced" on to a busy main road by two lots of construction work - one specially designed for cyclists.
Steve Harcourt discovered on Monday he would have to divert from his usual route from his home in Morlais to his work as an IT consultant in King's Road in the Reading town centre because of renovation work on Reading Bridge.
His journey which has taken him along the River Thames towpath between Caversham and Reading Bridge for the last 10 years, has also been disrupted by construction work closing the towpath in Christchurch Meadows.
Ironically, this work is for the £4 million bridge over the River Thames especially designed for cyclists and pedestrians.
The renovation on Reading Bridge is to strengthen it and on Monday when work began to reinforce the void under the bridge, the towpath under it was closed.
Mr Harcourt, 47, said: "I don't mind that much because I'm not afraid of cycling in the road - although some cyclists are.
"And if I have to, I can carry my bike up the steps rather than taking the long walk round.
"But I am sure that a man in the wheelchair would have to take the long way round and so would any mother with a pushchair."
He went on: "A bit of notice would have been nice - like when they are planning roadworks, they put up a sign in the road giving the dates. There was nothing there except the 'closed' sign on Monday."
Mr Harcourt said construction and renovation work now forced him on to the IDR along Vastern Road.
And here he feels cyclists could be better served too.
He would like to see a cycle lane on the left-hand nearside of the road.
He said: "I know cyclists can use the bus lane but that means cycling across two busy lanes of traffic in the morning. I know I am not scared of cycling on the road but I am scared of doing that. All it would take would be a white line on the left-hand side about 3ft from the kerb. There would be room for that.
"It is the reason why cyclists go on to the pavements. I don't do it myself, but I can understand why people do."
"A number of temporary restrictions to towpaths are necessary for work on both projects. We would ask residents to bear with us while this work takes place.
Oscar Mortali, Reading Borough Council spokesman said: "Reading Bridge is nearly 100 years old and a major route through Reading and the region. The work is to strengthen and waterproof the structure to avoid permanent lane restrictions on the bridge, which would be necessary without this essential work taking place. When complete in the summer, the new shared pedestrian and cycle bridge will create a direct and new route to and from Caversham into the town centre.
"The council writes regularly to residents in the area warning of the temporary towpath closures where they are needed. The route under Reading Bridge will be shut for around another three weeks. Going forward, the southern bank will now be closed for lengthy periods due to the amount of work needed along this stretch. This will continue until the new bridge opens in the summer, but the towpath will be opened where possible, and in between phases of works.
