As the November 20th release date for the inaugural season of Jessica Jones draws closer, fan anticipation is at an all-time high. The second of four planned Netflix-based series Marvel has up its sleeve, Jones looks to be the darkest adaptation to date that the company has included in its shared film and television universe. Krysten Ritter is set to star as the titular character, a private investigator attempting to leave her life as a superhero behind while battling a debilitating case of post traumatic stress disorder.
We've already discussed the Jessica Jones character at length here on Screen Rant, but after you check out her new trailer, let's take a look at what you should expect to see from her first live-action appearance.
Here are 10 Things You Need to Know Before Season 1 of Jessica Jones.
In 2001, celebrated comic book writer Brian Michael Bendis was tasked with creating Alias, the first comic book series to headline Marvel's MAX imprint. Aimed at a very specific audience, the MAX imprint was created to produce completely uncensored—and oftentimes explicit—comic content for Marvel's more mature readers. Bendis originally planned to use Jessica Drew (aka Spider-Woman) in the lead role, but ultimately decided to use an original creation: Jessica Jones. Alias introduced Jones as a world-weary former superhero that had become a private eye in an effort to escape her horrific past, though she constantly found herself being drawn back in to the world she left behind. Her backstory and origins as a crime fighter are gradually revealed via flashbacks throughout the series.
It all starts with Brian Michael Bendis' Alias series. He created this incredibly flawed, damaged, interesting character. Regardless of gender, it was the character that drew me. He wasn't afraid to go there and we went even further. We've gone further in all of our storytelling.
From everything we've seen so far, it seems safe to say that fans can expect to see many of their favorite Alias storylines make their way to the small screen in the coming weeks.
By the time TV audiences first meet Ms. Jones, she'll likely have already been to hell and back. In the comics, her early retirement as a superhero came about as a direct result of a torturous, eight month long stint under the mind control of the villainous Zebediah Killgrave, better known as Purple Man. A former spy with the ability to produce pheromones and verbally control the thoughts and actions of others, Purple Man forced the super-powered Jones to do everything and anything he wanted—leaving her an emotional mess with a wicked case of PTSD. Alias picked up some time after that, and it appears the Netflix series will do the same.
Promotional material has teased the all-knowing nature of Purple Man—who will be played by former Doctor Who star David Tennant—and recent set photos have revealed that he'll have an even bigger role to play in the Marvel shared universe than previously believed. While Jones has likely managed to escape his clutches by the time the series picks up, we have a feeling Purple Man has more horrors in store for her in the future.
A Jessica Jones TV series has been in some phase of development since 2010, with screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg originall spearheading the project for ABC. After the network passed on the series, Jones was shopped around elsewhere before finally finding a home on Netflix. Alongside Marvel heavy-hitters Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, Jones will eventually fight alongside the other three in a Defenders series team-up somewhere down the road. Rosenberg has described the Netflix version of Jones as a "page one do-over" from the original iteration over at ABC, though her hard work will finally pay off in a few short weeks with a significantly darker adaptation than a major network like ABC could have ever allowed.
Marvel fans wouldn't be judged for being a bit skeptical of Rosenberg's involvement in the project. The 53 year old's varied resume—highlighted by screenwriting duties on movies like Step Up and the entire Twilight series, none of which were very well-received—doesn't seem to be the most natural fit for the noir-themed world of Jessica Jones. But it's Rosenberg's Emmy-nominated run as writer and executive producer on the Showtime series Dexter that has us excited. Having worked on Jones for the better part of five years, this is clearly a passion project for Rosenberg. If the pilot episode's warm New York Comic-Con reception is any indication, she may have just knocked this one out of the park.
Since the series has been in development for the last half decade, it's understandable that Jessica Jones has undergone several significant changes on the road to production. Aside from the obvious uptick in adult content the show can utilize, now that it's been produced for Netflix rather than ABC, fans may be surprised to find out that Captain Marvel was going to be a principal character in the series at one point. "I had Jessica Jones and Luke Cage and Carol Danvers [for the pilot script]," Rosenberg told reporters. "Basically, I wanted those three guys - then I would have a series." Ultimately, Marvel had much bigger plans for Danvers, announcing a movie adaptation for the character late last year. Captain Marvel's release date has been pushed back twice in the last 12 months, and an actress still hasn't been cast, though Marvel president Kevin Feige maintains that she is a character of the highest priority for the studio.
Filling in for the former Ms. Marvel as Jones' close friend/confidant is Trish 'Patsy' Walker, played by Rachael Taylor. Walker, a radio talk show host, popped up in the first batch of official images that Marvel/Netflix released for the show, so she'll most likely be playing a significant supporting role. No word yet on whether Walker will become the superhero known as Hellcat like she does in the comics.
Ritter's no stranger to the small screen, having appeared in shows like Breaking Bad and Veronica Mars before headlining her own short-lived (but well-received) sitcom, Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23. Her film resume is a bit less impressive, as the 33 year old actress oftentimes found herself being typecast as the best friend of the female lead in movies like Confessions of a Shopaholic and She's Out of My League. Landing the lead role in Jessica Jones has Ritter's career on a serious upswing though, which is why we named her one of our rising stars of this fall's TV season.
Ritter has said that she's become addicted to the Jessica Jones comics and has described the show's scripts as "f---ing fantastic." When asked about her character, she told NY Comic-Con reporters that she's excited to be portraying a "strong badass, tough female character that we haven't really seen before." Ritter's talent has been heavily underused in her 10+ years in the business; here's hoping Jessica Jones turns out to be the big break that she's definitely earned.
Before Ritter was cast as the lead in Jessica Jones late last year, she was reported to have had some stiff competition on her hands. A few weeks prior, Deadline got the rumor mill spinning by reporting that several other names were on Marvel's shortlist for Ms. Jones: Alexandra Daddario, Marin Ireland, Jessica De Gouw, and Teresa Palmer. Most fans found themselves calling for Daddario or Ritter to take on the role, with fellow candidates Ireland (The Slap), De Gouw (Arrow), and Palmer largely being dismissed as poor fits for the part. All five actresses ended up screentesting opposite Luke Cage candidates Mike Colter and Lance Gross.
Contrary to the public's opinion, Marvel's final casting decision for Jessica Jones reportedly came down to Ritter and Palmer, the latter of whom who was fresh off the success of her hit film, Warm Bodies. Palmer, who had been cast as Talia al Ghul in George Miller's failed Justice League: Mortal film years earlier, ultimately lost out on the role to Ritter.
Thanks in no small part to his screentest chemistry with Ritter, Mike Colter was selected to portray Marvel's Power Man, Luke Cage, who will play a major role in Jessica Jones before getting his own series next year. The 39 year old actor is best known for his roles in shows like The Good Wife and Ringer, though his resume also includes smaller parts in hit films like Zero Dark Thirty and Men in Black 3.
In the comics, Cage marries Jones and has a family with her, but don't expect to see any of that start to materialize for another year or two at least. The noir-filled world of Marvel's Netflix series will likely take its time getting to the happier parts of these heroes' stories.
Joining Ritter and Colter on the protagonists' side of things is Carrie Anne Moss, who's set to play the gender-flipped role of Jeryn Hogarth, an attorney who later takes on a managerial position at Cage's Heroes for Hire business. Moss's character has raised suspicions (read: hopes) that Cage's partner, Iron Fist, will make an appearance in Marvel's Netflix world sooner rather than later. With Moss, Colter, the aforementioned Taylor and Tennant, and a few other notables, the cast of Jessica Jones has shaped up to be one of the more interesting collections of talent on television.
When we first started talking about Daredevil, we promised that we were telling a story that was first a crime drama and then a superhero show. This is more of a psychological thriller.
What Jessica Jones will lack in costumed vigilantism, it will attempt make up for with an interesting character study dealing with the repercussions of superhero-dom. Jones' dark past has left her suffering from an horrific case of PTSD, and it stands to reason that the worst may be yet to come.
But that doesn't mean that the series will be completely devoid of action. Jones' powers include super strength and flight, abilities we'll surely see on display on an episodic basis. We've received brief glances at Jones' powers in teaser trailers, and at the end of the day, this is a comic book adaptation; the action quota will be filled.
After the conclusion of season one of Jessica Jones, Marvel fans have quite a bit to look forward, and we're not even talking about Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange. 2016 will bring with it the first season of Luke Cage as well as the highly-anticipated second season of Daredevil, both of which will lay the groundwork for the street-level team-up series, The Defenders. Daredevil, Cage, and Jones will headline the series, (hopefully) along with live-action newcomer Danny Rand, aka Iron Fist.
The latter has had a difficult go of it thus far in his adaptation process, but even if Marvel can't figure out a way to realistically bring Iron Fist into the grounded superhero world that Netflix is creating, the big machine won't stop. We just saw it happen with Civil War: Marvel couldn't get the rights to a key character (Spider-Man) in time, so they essentially replaced his role in the proceedings with another hero (Black Panther). Should The Defenders series be ready to roll cameras before the Iron Fist conundrum has been solved, another character (like Punisher or Elektra) could theoretically fill the void. Ideally, however, that can be avoided, and Iron Fist will join his fellow Defenders in the street-level battle for New York.
As we go along things will alter in terms of what is made available to us, but we're definitely in that universe. We are in no way denying that that universe exists. And as much as I can I'm going to pull everything in from there that I can use.
Though Daredevil star Charlie Cox has said that he is unlikely to make an appearance in this season of Jessica Jones, the two heroes are in fact operating in the same neighborhood, so you have to imagine they'll cross paths at some point. Crossovers are of course very much in Marvel's plans, though for now, fans will have to settle for Rosario Dawson's Claire Temple showing up in Jessica Jones, a rumor Rosenberg herself confirmed. Even if this first season only features in-the-flesh appearances by two of the four Defenders, it will undoubtedly sport its share of easter eggs. Eagle-eyed Marvel die-hards would be wise to avoid blinking as much as possible.
One of the riskier properties Marvel has attempted to adapt so far, Jessica Jones looks to be one of the hottest (and most adult-oriented) new shows of the year. While Jones may not have the name recognition of her fellow Netflix superhero, Daredevil, the distinctive nature of this series could help the company reach a whole new audience. The idea of Marvel's fan base growing any bigger seems impossible, but original approaches like this can make it happen.
Will you be tuning in next month to catch Marvel's foray into the darkness? Which characters do you want to see appear on the show? How troubling do you find the trailer's complete and utter lack of Squirrel Girl? As always, be sure to sound off in the comments below.
Jessica Jones will be made available on Netflix starting November 20th, 2015; Luke Cage season one and Daredevil season two will debut in 2016; Iron Fist and The Defenders will arrive sometime after that.

Lord, It's Not My Shepard: A Mass Effect Movie
News by Alec Meer Contributor
I'm regularly taken aback by how quietly enormous Mass Effect is. While common conception is that EA's getting its mega-corp bottom kicked by Activision, it's got a breadth of franchises that it's CoD'n'WoW-dependent rival does not - and Bioware's sweeping space opera universe is one of the foremost of those. It's really doing the Star Wars thing, I guess, as there was perhaps a vast sci-fi fandom void waiting to be filled in the wake of Lucas' long-running exploitation/ruination of its galaxy far, far away.
So it makes perfect sense that Mass Effect would turn to other mediums - specifically, movies. Well, anime movies.
I'm aware 'anime' conjures mixed feelings for some folk, but those who aren't keen on such things might be glad to hear that Bioware exec producer Casey Hudson, one of the main ME bods, will also do the exec production thing on the film. Primary duties, however, will be handled by Tokyo studio T.O Entertainment, Inc, with the flick to be distributed by the hilariously stupidly-named FUNimation.
We don't have any plot details yet, beyond "an epic science fiction adventure set in a vast universe filled with dangerous alien life and mysterious, uncharted planets." My wild'n'craaaaaaaaaaaayzeee guess is that it won't tell Shepard's tale, as that could conflict with the game fiction (so a confiction?) somewhat. But who knows. Here's what Casey thinks:
"Over the last few years, we have revealed different pieces of the Mass Effect world through different media. Extending the story through an anime medium is another amazing opportunity for us. Partnering with FUNimation ensures that we will bring this rich universe to life with the utmost quality and the same attention to detail that the Mass Effect games are known for."
Righto. I must admit that if someone asked me what I thought of Mass Effect, "attention to detail" wouldn't be my immediate description. Not that it doesn't have it (that sure is a lot of lore), but if I was trying to sell it to someone I'd suspect I'd bang on about its guns and conversation rather than how anally retentive it was.
The Mass Effect anime will be straight to DVD/download rather than in cinema, and isn't due until 2012 alas. Bioware and FUNimation are also working on a Dragon Age flick, which we should see a whole lot sooner.

About Sigma Nu - Eta Chi Chapter
The story of Sigma Nu began during the period following the Civil War, when a Confederate veteran from Arkansas enrolled at the Virginia MIlitary Institute in Lexington Virginia - James Frank Hopkins, and it is to him and two of his classmates, Greenfield Quarels and James RIley, that Sigma Nu owes its existence.
THE ETA CHI CHAPTER
In the fall of 1965 a banner appeared in the Mace and Crown, the collegiate newspaper on the Campus of Old Dominion College. "There will be a meeting of all men who have been affiliated with Sigma Nu Fraternity as brothers or pledges in the old science building, room 105, 12:30 PM." The author of the banner was Donald L. Marchand Jr., Associate Professor of Science at ODC and Father of Eta Chi Chapter.
James Hopkins
Greenfield Quarles
James Riley
There were five men who responded to the announcement. Their names were as follows: Frank Budik, Dusty Olds, Gary James, Steve Hochman, and Watt Jones. Frank and Dusty were Sigma Nus from East Carolina. Donald K. Marchand Jr., a distinguished Sigma Nu alumnus from West Virginia University and a member of the faculty of Old Dominion College, chaired the meeting.
From the humble beginning, the Eta Chi CHapter of the Sigma Nu Fraternity was born.
In 1966-67 Sigma Nu required that petitioning colonies publish a booklet containing the brief history of the new colony and mail it to all existing chapters in the United States. 75% of all Sigma Nu Chapters had to vote "Yes" to appove our petition and 100% of the chapters in Virginia had to approve our petition for our local fraternity to be accepted into the Sigma Nu National Network.
On February 25, 1967 we culminated our efforts by officially earning our "Charter" during a black tie dinner in Webb Center on the canpus of Old Dominion College. 38 members including 5 founders were initiated by the Sigma Nu men from the College of William and Mary. Other dignitaries who attended the dinner included Mr. Ted Palmer, Grand Treasurer of the Fraternity, Richard Fletcher, Executive Secretary of Sigma Nu, Donald K. Marchand, "Father of Eta Chi Chapter", and many family members of the newly initiated brothers.
Today, nearly 48 years following our founding in 1967, there are 904 initiated Brothers in the Eta Chi Chapter of the Sigma Nu Fraternity.
DONALD K. MARCHAND
"It was January 27, 2005. I was in Webb Center talking to Blake Murphy. It was lunch time and I remember the weather being sunny and cold. We were sitting at the Sigma Nu table and we were discussing the benefits of being a Sigma Nu Brother. Blake was beginning his last semester of his senior year. The time was very close to 12:30PM when one of our brothers noticed a Norfolk fire truck speeding down 49th street. Then another brother said, "The fire truck is going to DK's neighborhodd" and, collectively, for a moment we all quietly held our breath. Unfortunately, we were soon to learn that DK's house was fully engaged in a fire that would tragically consume his life.
The purpose of this brief reminder is not to draw attention to his death, but to remember his remarkable life and the significance of his contributions for our Chapter and Sigma Nu Fraternity.
Donald K. Marchand Jr. was born on April 7, 1926 in Mongantown, West Virginia, the beloved town of his college alma mater, West Virginia University. While attending WVU he played in the University Band and was elected the Rocorder of his Chapter. He tught for the following schools: Randeolph Macon Academy, Virginia MIlitary Institute, and Old Dominion University. He began the Eta Chi CHapter of the Sigma Nu Fraternity and was designated "Father" of our Chapter. In addition to beginning Sigma Nu, he also began Alpha Phi Sorority, Theta Chi Fraternity, and Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity at Old Dominion University. He was Chairman of the Department of Astronomy and Physical Science, Associate Dean of Students, and became an appointed member of the ODU Faculty Emeritus.
In short, Donal K. Marchand Jr. is the principle reason you are here tnoight. His unequaled pursuit of excellence from our founding until his untimely death is a constant reminder of his faith in the Men of Eta Chi and the ideals of Sigma Nu.
Let us assembled here tonight pause and celebrate the life of a Founder, Brother, Man of Honor who believed in the Life of Love, Walked in the Way of Honor, and Served in the Light of Truth."
D. Watt Jones, Eta Chi #002

Taco Bell, Tim Hortons, Domino's and hotel development moving forward in Mansfield
Residents in the town have expressed their views as council documents reveal progress on the former bus station project

A £12 million gateway project set to bring a Tim Hortons and Taco Bell to Mansfield's old bus station is making progress.
The council-backed 'Stockwell Gateway' plans, from the ARBA Group, will replace the pre-existing car park which closed for good in March.
Boarding is now up around the site as work begins to progress, with ARBA officially taking hold of the site ahead of its redevelopment.
Amongst the new draws will be the Canadian coffee outlet Tim Hortons, alongside Mexican-themed Taco Bell, a Domino's Pizza and a 100-bed nationally-branded hotel.
Council documents published ahead of a meeting next week show that Taco Bell has officially got on-board with the scheme, along with the two other outlets.
And shoppers in the town expressed their views about what the new additions will mean for the town.
Liam Skillen, 22, from Mansfield, told Nottinghamshire Live: "Well I am very excited for Tim Hortons arrival in Mansfield.
"I go to the Birmingham one every time I visit the city. But I do wonder if another eatery is the best option for that space.
"We need more variety in the towns offering of retail and hospitality if we want Mansfield to thrive the same way it used to.
"But I guess it's a start, it's just not the answer to the towns problems."
"It should bring a lot of jobs, it should bring Mansfield back to life because at the moment its dead," said a Mansfield resident who did give his full name.
A Birmingham resident in the town, who also did not give his full name, added: "It's going to be very useful in Mansfield."
And a worker in the Four Seasons shopping centre, next to the old bus station, added: "It would be great, it's a good thing."
With main shops, such as Topshop, having shut in the middle of the Four Seasons, and some row of shops in the Rosemary Centre remaining vacant, new business is hoped to bring some life and excitement back into the town.
However, some hesitancy remains at the ARBA Group's plans which are still ongoing.
"Everywhere is shutting so I don't know what they want to come to Mansfield, for but it's good," says another town centre resident.
"It will bring jobs for the local area, but when? At the moment it's all on hold, so I don't really know what it will bring but I'm hoping it will bring a lot of positive back to Mansfield."
Council documents for next week's overview and scrutiny place meeting have issued an update on the status of the plans.
The documents state: "The former bus station site was leased to ARBA Group on a long-term lease hold basis and planning permission was granted in November 2020 for the development of a 100 bedroom hotel, together with three food and drink units.
"Over the last few months' groundwork, utility and heritage surveys have all been undertaken on the site in preparation of developing starting and the end users for the three food and beverage units have been signed up."
Mansfield District Council approved the £12 million development in November last year.
At present it is unclear which national hotel brand will take on the 100-bed facility once it is completed.

With its new Giorgio Morandi exhibition, David Zwirner Gallery honors the man of unique and poetic sill lives. The exhibitions shows paintings from the 1940s to the 1960s, a timeline heavy with history for the Italian painter.
Morandi is one of the most introverted and mysterious artist of the 20th century. His quiet life is reflected in his calm depictions. He belongs to no specific movement yet his oeuvre is recognizable at first glance. In line with Cézanne he defines formal monumentality and dense colors through his intimate art. His still lives constitutes the essence of his corpus. Ordered objects, casts, funnels are all depicted at the light of his atelier with very subtle and distinctive tones. His compositions are simple yet, they lead to a new understanding of the shapes and spaces they encounter and surrender.
Leaving by the adage that 'Nothing is more abstract than reality, Morandi's output closely embraces sculptural forms from minimalist design. The David Zwirner exhibition exposes the many facets of the contemporary still life expert who inspires through his regularly and profundity.

Climate Change Report: What We Must Do To Avert the Looming Crisis
by Kelvin Nyaga, April 11, 2022
Victor Ongoma, Université Mohammed VI Polytechnique
Climate change is a threat to all aspects of our lives. Every degree of global warming is likely to increase the intensity and frequency of climate extremes, such as drought and flooding. In a bid to address this, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) – an intergovernmental body of the United Nations – has released a key report which looks at mitigation of climate change.
The report is prepared by 278 authors from 65 countries, based on evidence from 18,000 scientific references. It examines the sources of global emissions and explores the strategies that can be taken to limit and prevent global warming induced by humans.
The main activities which drive global warming are industrial activities and the combustion of fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are the leading emitters of carbon dioxide gas, which are a greenhouse gas. This means that the decisions that we all make today will shape the future climate and environment. Hence the need for an informed process.
According to the report, the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions caused by people (what's known as "anthropogenic emissions") for example through industrial activities, has continued to rise. Its concentration in the recent decades (between 2010 and 2019) exceeded previous decades. This applies to all greenhouse gases and sectors, such as energy, transport, and manufacturing.
The main driver of climate change is the greenhouse effect – when certain gases (the greenhouse gases) in the Earth's atmosphere trap the sun's heat and cause global warming. The increase in concentration of greenhouse gases is therefore responsible for global warming that causes climate change.
The largest growth in emissions was that of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels and industry. It was followed by methane. In 2019, anthropogenic emissions reached 59 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide, about 12% higher than in 2010.
It's not all bad news. The rate of growth of emissions between 2010 and 2019 was lower than that between 2000 and 2009. There was a
reduction in the annual growth rate of greenhouse gas emissions by 2.1% per year between 2000 and 2009. And 1.3% per year between 2010 and 2019.
However, this isn't enough to limit global temperature warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels in line with the Paris Agreement.
The target of 1.5°C was meant to limit some of the worst effects of climate change, such as an increased number of severe heat waves on land, extreme storms and the destruction of ecosystems around the world.
What lies ahead?
Emission of greenhouse gases is on the rise, an indication that the worst lies ahead. According to the IPCC's report, we will likely exceed 1.5°C during the 21st century.
The report projects a peak of greenhouse gas emissions between 2020 and 2025 in global modelled pathways if we have to limit warming to 1.5°C and it's assumed that action will be taken to limit further warming thereafter.
However, without a beefing up of policies – beyond efforts by each country to reduce national emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change (known as the nationally-determined-contributions) implemented by the end of 2020 – emissions are projected to continue rising past 2025, leading to an average warming of 3.2°C by 2100.
Such projected warming is likely to cause multiple and compound climate-related risks such extreme drought, rainfall deficits, and risks associated with water availability.
Swift action
This is the time to act swiftly and shape the future. There is a need for concerted efforts to limit the emission of greenhouse gases from all sectors. This action must be taken at all levels; by individuals, countries and regions.
In the words of the UN Secretary General during the release of the report:
It is time to stop burning our planet and start investing in the abundant renewable energy all around us.
Fossil-fuel combustion and industry, a leading emitter of carbon dioxide, requires more attention than before.
Green initiatives – such as increased generation of renewable energy and a focus on green economies that are low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive – are key to the reduction of emissions and adaptation to climate change. These initiatives will also provide health and economic benefits.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the entire energy sector entails major transitions, including:
a marked reduction in overall fossil fuel use
the deployment of low-emission energy sources
switching to alternative energy carriers
energy efficiency and conservation.
This is challenging but possible.
Individuals also have a role to play as most of our activities contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. This is a call for a self-lifestyle audit for socio-cultural and behavioural change. Individual people can make a difference through their choice of transport, and forms and efficiency of energy use.
The Covid pandemic shows the difference. The associated strict lockdown led to temporary drops in carbon dioxide emissions in the first half of 2020 by about 5.8% (2.2 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide) relative to 2019. This was however, short-lived since the carbon emissions rapidly rebounded by the end of 2021 as the pandemic dipped.
Apart from efforts to minimise the emissions, strategies are needed to remove the part of the carbon dioxide that is already in the atmosphere. This process, called carbon sequestration, entails capturing, securing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This can happen in vegetation, land and water. Recently, machines have been developed which can suck carbon directly from the air.
Which way for Africa?
Africa emits less than 5% of global carbon emissions. But the continent has a role to play in meeting the target of limiting warming to 1.5°C.
Africa is experiencing high population and urbanisation growth. It is likely to face growing demands for food and basic infrastructure. The continent has an opportunity to design and develop urban areas that use resources more efficiently and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The same applies to other sectors such as agriculture and transport.
Countries such as Morocco and Kenya are renewable energy champions through mega solar and geothermal projects, respectively. These projects are capital intensive, calling for developed countries to honour the Glasgow Climate Pact urging them to at least double their collective provision of climate finance for adaptation to developing country parties from 2019 levels by 2025. The whole world stands to benefit from the move since the economic value of limiting warming to 2°C exceeds the cost of mitigation. Estimates show that investing in mitigation worth US$100 per tonne of carbon dioxide could cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least half of the 2019 level by 2030.
Although it remains challenging to realise net zero emissions where there is a balance between the greenhouse gases put into the atmosphere and those taken out, emissions can be halved by 2030. As Hoesung Lee, the IPCC Chair, said:
We are at a crossroads. The decisions we make now can secure a liveable future. We have the tools and know-how required to limit warming.

Dundee wastewater project gets extension
DUNDEE—The village wastewater treatment plant was one of the main topics discussed during the Sept. 22 meeting of the Dundee Village Board. Ken Knutson, senior vice president of Barton & Loguidice, the engineering firm retained by the village, presented an update on the two grants the village has received for the plant. He said they thought the work on the first project could be completed by Sept. 30, however the Office of Community Renewal will grant an extension to Oct. 30. A problem that has surfaced is that the new covers for the tanks do not fit properly. In addition, a crack in the old tank has been discovered and that must be remedied.
Knutson spoke about the 2008 economic development grant for construction of further capacity improvements which is connected to creation and retention of jobs at Dundee Foods. Village Clerk Christine Sutherland said the company is hiring and Mayor Fred Cratsley Jr. said he has been assured there would be a significant number of employees there at the end of the project.
Alternatives being considered would increase capacity at the village wastewater plant from 300,000 to 400,000 gallons per day. Other improvements such as replacement of pumps and a new force main to aeration tank are being considered. Knutson outlined base improvements that have been identified as he outlined the $414,000 project. He said, "The ultimate goal is to allow this plant to take more wet weather flow without overloading. The project will help maximize what you have in the two clarifiers. It must be designed in anticipation of the next phase." Following Knutson's presentation, the board voted to approve an agreement for engineering services. Funds for the purpose are included in the grant.
In other business: The board voted to purchase new signs for Harpending Avenue at Grace Street. The area is congested when students are arriving at and leaving school. Village code allows a no stopping regulation, but that regulation must be posted. Currently no parking and speed limit signs are posted in the area. These signs were put in place after concerns about student safety at the area were received.
A crossing guard was also hired by the village to assist in safety at the site.
Trustee Greg Wright said there has been a complaint from the crossing guard about congestion and safety. There is a drop-off area at the back of the school, however Wright said that area is also often congested, particularly when the buses are there. Street Superintendent Andy Howell has a quote of $196 for new signs. Following additional discussion, the board voted to purchase no stopping signs for the area.
• The ongoing communication issue was discussed and the board voted to purchase one cell phone for use in case of an emergency and one radio for the highway department.
• Fire Chief Dan Peterson told the board the department would like to get a permit to build a 13 foot by 32 foot lean-to on the west side of the white barn for storage of the trailer. The structure would keep it covered from the weather. Cratsley asked who would pay for the structure, which is estimated to cost $700 and Peterson said the funds would come from the fire department Building Fund. The request was approved three to two with Cratsley and trustee Larry Howell abstaining.
• Peterson asked about a portion of the village travel expense policy that was passed in August that was connected to reimbursement for lunch. He said if trucks are taken for service or repairs the person who drives the truck can be at the repair shop for several hours. Cratsley said he thinks the village should look at the policy again and possibly put in a time frame. The current policy does cover the distance that must be traveled before meal expenses are covered.
• At the request of the owner, the board waived the 30-day waiting period for renewal of the Pour House liquor license. The law requires the waiting period unless it is waived by the municipality where the facility is located.
• Cratsley said a grant application has been submitted for work at Millard Park. He expressed thanks for the work Ryan Hallings of Finger Lakes Economic Development Center had done in preparing the grant application.
The next meeting of the Dundee Village Board will be at 7 p.m. on Oct. 11 in the village hall on Union Street.

IMDb profile
Mark Sheppard (April 30, 1964) is an English actor and musician of an Irish-German background.[1]
Sheppard is the son of character actor William Morgan Sheppard. His first passion was being a musician, which lead him to play in multiple bands that performed in parts of the globe like France and Algeria. He initially preferred being a musician over following his father's footsteps, believing that "he's the actor and I'm the musician and that was when I was a kid, but then years later I discovered it was pretty much the same thing to me".[1]
Sheppard began pursuing acting as someone had "asked me to see if I could be in a play, and I was reluctant but I did it and I discovered it was something I love, it's fun".[1]
He credits his father for teaching him "a certain sensibility about acting, as far as we are of the same belief that there is no such thing as a bad guy. They are people of a differing opinion. And are willing to do different things to get what it is that they want. But you should never play the guy as a bad guy."[1]
Sheppard's career in acting has lead to many appearances in popular television shows, including 24 as Ivan Erwich, Firefly as Badger, Medium as Dr. Charles Walker, and Star Trek: Voyager in Child's Play as Leucon.
In addition to Battlestar Galactica, he has done work on David Eick's remake of The Bionic Woman (with Katee Sackhoff).[1] He also recently guest stared in Burn Notice Season 2 episode Bad Breaks as a bank robber. He appears in the 2011 Doctor Who episodes "The Impossible Astronaut" and "Day of the Moon" as a 1960s FBI agent Canton Everett Delaware III.
Sheppard has mentioned that he is a fan of the Re-imagined Series, but did not get into the Original Series. Sheppard's involvement in Battlestar Galactica began through CSI: Crime Scene Investigation's Naren Shankar, who encouraged him to meet Ronald D. Moore. After meeting, Moore attempted to get Sheppard a role as a Cylon in Season 2, which did not happen due to his commitment to Medium. He had a future conversation with Moore and David Eick, where Sheppard mentioned that he would be willing to play any character; a few months after that, when fixing Moore's computer, Moore offered him "three episodes of Battlestar" and, thus, the part of Romo Lampkin.[1]
In addition to his portrayal of Romo Lampkin, Sheppard has done three podcasts for the episodes "The Son Also Rises" (with writer Michael Angeli), and two solo podcasts on "Crossroads, Part I" and "Crossroads, Part II".

Cylarabes (; ), or Cylarabos, or Cylasabos, son of Sthenelus, was a mythological king of Argos.

Mythology
He succeeded to the throne upon the death of his father. During his reign Argos was finally reunited after having been divided into three parts since the reign of Anaxagoras. Anaxagoras had given one third of his kingdom to Melampus and the other to Bias while Anaxagoras and his line continued to rule the central region. Cylarabes regained the portion of the kingdom given to Bias upon the death of Cyanippus. (The portion belonging to the line of Melampus had been regained by his father Sthenelus, upon the death of Amphilocus). Cylarabes died without an heir and his vacant throne was seized by Orestes, the king of Mycenae.

Ямабіко-Мару (Yamabiko Maru) — судно, яке під час Другої Світової війни прийняло участь у операціях японських збройних на Каролінських островах.

Початок історії корабля
Судно спорудили як пасажирське в 1937 році на верфі Uraga Dock в Уразі. Замовником виступила компанія Yamashita Kisen, яки використовувала його на лініях до Північної та Південної Америки. Первісно судно носило назву «Ямахіко-Мару» (Yamahiko Maru), а в 1938-му було перейменоване на «Ямабіко-Мару».

6 серпня 1941-го «Ямабіко-Мару» реквізували для потреб Імперського флоту Японії, після чого з 15 серпня по 15 жовтня воно пройшло на верфі Fujinagata Zosensho у Осаці переобладнання у ремонтне судно.

Воєнна служба
Станом на кінець грудня 1941-го «Ямабіко-Мару» знаходилось у порту Такао (наразі Гаосюн на Тайвані), де провело ремонтні роботи на переобладнаному канонерському човні «Тайко-Мару», що отримало пошкодження у зіткненні.

1 – 3 січня 1942-го судно перейшло з Такао до затоки Лінгайєн на західному узбережжі філіппінського острова Лусон, де за кілька діб до того висадився головний японський десант. Тут «Ямабіко-Мару» узялось за допомогу есмінцю «Ямагумо», який 31 грудня підірвався на міні. Крім того, були виконані певні ремонтні роботи на переобладнаних канонерських човнах «Кісо-Мару» та «Асо-Мару». 24 – 26 січня «Ямабіко-Мару» прослідувало назад до Такао.

2 лютого 1942-го «Ямабіко-Мару» вирушило з Такао до порту Давао на південному узбережжі філіппінського острова Мінданао (тут японці висадились ще в останній декаді грудня). Після кількох тижнів у Давао, судно 25 лютого прибуло на схід острова Борнео до Балкіпапану (центр нафтовидобутку, який вже місяць перебував під контролем японських сил). В наступні кілька тижнів «Ямабіко-Мару» провело тут ремонти на переобладнаному гідроавіаносці «Санукі-Мару», есмінці «Асагумо» та сторожовому кораблі PB-37.

18 – 19 березня 1942-го «Ямабіко-Мару» під охороною «Асагумо» перейшло до порту Макассар на південно-західному півострові острова Целебес (захоплений японським десантом у першій декаді лютого). Тут воно до 10 квітня провадило ремонтні роботи на есмінц «Осіо», що отримав значні пошкодження в ніч на 19 лютого в битві у протоці Бандунг (була пов'язана із висадкою десанту на Балі). Крім того, була надана допомога іншому есмінцю «Асасіо», який постраждав у тій же битві (втім, пошкодження цього корабля були менші і вже 25 березня він зміг прибути до Японії).

В подальшому «Ямабіко-Мару» повернулось до Давао, звідки 16 – 19 травня прослідувало на острів Амбон (частину переходу його супроводжував торпедний човен «Хацукарі»). До 25 травня провадились ремонтні роботи на переобладнаному канонерському човні «Тайко-Мару», що 13 травня був уражений авіабомбою у машинне відділення (далі «Тайко-Мару» відведуть на буксирі для повноцінного ремонту у Сінгапурі). 29 травня 1942-го «Ямабіко-Мару» полишило Амбон і 1 червня прибуло до Давао, де наприкінці червня узялось за аварійний ремонт на транспорті «Амагісан-Мару», який був торпедований підводним човном.

В подальшому судно перейшло до В'єтнаму, а 27 серпня 1942-го Ямабіко-Мару вийшло із бухти Камрань для супроводу плавучої бази підводних човнів «Ріо-де-Жанейро-Мару», що на початку серпня була пошкоджена ворожою субмариною, а тепер рушила на відновлення до Сінгапура.

Тим часом союзники висадилась на сході Соломонових островів, що започаткувало шестимісячну битву за Гуадалканал та змусило японське командування постійно перекидати підкріплення до регіону. Зокрема, в листопаді 1942-го «Ямабіко-Мару» вийшло із Сінгапура, маючи на борті бійців із різних підрозділів 5-ї піхотної дивізії, а також загону аеродромного будівництва. 2 грудня судно прибуло до Рабаула -  головної передової бази у архіпелазі Бісмарка, з якої провадились операції на Соломонових островах та сході Нової Гвінеї.

До 18 грудня 1942-го «Ямабіко-Мару» провадило ремонтні роботи на есмінці «Сірацую», який був пошкоджений бомбою під час рейсу до новогвінейської Буни. У другій половині грудні судно надало допомогу транспорту «Кагу-Мару», який був пошкоджений при авіанальоті на Рабаул, а з 26 грудня 1942 узялось за аварійний ремонт есмінців «Удзукі» (зіткнувся із торпедованим транспортом «Нанкай-Мару» та був приведений на базу на буксирі) і «Аріаке» (пошкоджений літаками при буксируванні «Нанкай-Мару). На «Аріаке» роботи завершили 3 січня, тоді як з «Удзукі» фахівці «Ямабіко-Мару» працювали до 16 січня 1943-го. В цей же період «Ямабіко-Мару» надавав допомогу ще двом есмінцям – з 28 грудня 1942 по 13 січня 1943 «Тачікадзе» (був пошкоджений бомбами при нальоті на Рабаул) та з 6 по 16 січня «Судзукадзе» (отримав пошкодження від близьких розривах бомб коли прикривав транспортний рейс інших есмінців до Гуадалканалу).

Есмінці і надалі залишались головними об'єктами, над якими працювали фахівці «Ямабіко-Мару» – з 16 по 26 січня 1943-го на «Уракадзе», «Хамакадзе» і «Танікадзе» (отримали пошкодження від близьких розривів бомб під час транспортного рейсу до Гуадалканалу), з 9 по 27 лютого на «Ісокадзе» і «Хамакадзе» (пошкоджені літаками під час евакуації гарнізону Гуадалканалу), з 13 лютого по 2 березня на «Кавакадзе» (зіткнувся з вантажним судном та був приведений на буксирі до Рабаула), наприкінці лютого на «Хацуюкі» (зачепив риф).

З 3 по 20 квітня 1943-го «Ямабіко-Мару» виходило до Кавієнгу (друга за значенням японська база у архіпелазі Бісмарка, розташована на північному завершенні острова Нова Ірландія) для робіт на важкому крейсері «Аоба», що був важко пошкоджений бомбою.

По поверненні у Рабаул «Ямабіко-Мару» продовжило роботу з есмінцями – в другій половині квітня 1943-го з «Тачікадзе» (пошкоджений при авіанальоті на новогвінейський Вевак), з 18 травня із «Югірі» (торпедований підводним човном та приведений на буксирі до Рабаула), з 29 травня по 3 червня із «Сацукі» (зачепив риф), з 8 липня із «Амагірі» (пошкоджений у битві в затоці Кула), з 8 по 16 липня із «Хацуюкі» (легко постраждав у тому ж зіткненні в затоці Кула), з 17 по 28 липня знову із «Сацукі» (пошкоджений авіацією біля острова Бугенвіль), з 11 серпня знову із «Амагірі» (зіткнувся та розрізав навпіл торпедний човен, яким командував Джон Кеннеді). Крім того, 6 – 17 липня фахівці судна допомагали легкому крейсеру «Юбарі», що підірвався на міні біля Бугенвілю, а 21 – 29 липня виконували аварійний ремонт на важкому крейсері «Кумано», який був пошкоджений близькими розривами при виході до острова Коломбангара (архіпелаг Нью-Джорджія у центральній частині Соломонових островів).

Восени 1943-го «Ямабіко-Мару» продовжило працювати у Рабаулі. Зокрема, відомо що 11 жовтня провадились роботи з ліквідації витоку нафти на есмінці «Самідаре».

Тим часом союзники розпочали потужний авіаційний наступ на Рабаул. 2 листопада 1943-го в центральну частину «Ямабіко-Мару» влучили одна або дві 454-кг бомби, судно загорілось, загинув один член екіпажу. Пожежа продовжувалась і 3 листопада, втім, у підсумку судно вціліло. При цьому його фахівці продовжували ремонтні роботи, зокрема, на легкому крейсері «Агано», есмінцях «Наганамі» та «Уракадзе», які були пошкоджені під час наступних нальотів на Рабаул.

Більше місяця «Ямабіко-Мару» проходило у Рабаулі аварійне відновлення власними силами, а 22 – 25 грудня 1943-го прослідувало у складі конвою №2222 до головної японської бази у Океанії на атолі Трук в центральній частині Каролінських островів (перед тим був отриманий наказ вивантажити ремонтне обладнання та залишити його у Рабаулі).

2 січня 1944-го «Ямабіко-Мару» вирушило для ремонту у Японії в складі конвою №4102. Вранці 10 січня за чотири з половиною сотні кілометрів від Токійської затоки американський підводний човен USS Steelhead перехопив конвой. В умовах шторму субмарина випустила по даних радару чотири торпеди, одна з яких поцілила «Ямабіко-Мару». Втім, воно не затонуло, а було узяте на буксир транспортом «Ямакуні-Мару». 12 січня кайбокан (фрегат) «Манджу» узяв на борт частину людей з «Ямабіко-Мару», відокремився і 13 січня прибув до Токійської затоки. Того ж 13 січня «Ямабіко-Мару» довели до острова Хатдзьо (архіпелаг Ідзу), розташованого за дві з половиною сотні кілометрів від місця нападу USS Steelhead. Втім, вже на вході до бухти від сильного шторму пошкоджене судно розломилось і його кормова частина затонула. «Ямакуні-Мару» спробував завести в бухту носову частину, але в цей час (вже настало 14 січня) сам був потоплений підводним човном USS Swordfish. Невдовзі затонули й залишки «Ямабіко-Мару», зі складу екіпажу якого загинуло 5 осіб, тоді як есмінець «Асанагі» доправив до Йокосуки вцілілих.

People with whom you spend a lot of time have great influence on you – on your mood, on your views and even on the way you talk. Sometimes you can dramatically change the quality of your life by setting aside people who 'drain' your energy and associate more with people who inspire, support and from whom you can learn.
There is one person though from whom you cannot distance yourself or cut yourself off. Even if you change your haircut, work, partner; even if you go to a distant country – you will see the same person in the mirror. That is why a unique relationship with yourself is so important. The comfort of your life, your potential for change, your effectiveness and also relationships with other people depend on it. You spend most of the time with yourself. Is it not worth it to give this relationship primary importance?
After you find out how to nurture the relationship with yourself, after you get to know yourself a little more, after you two possibly become friends, you will discover that you will save a lot of time and energy. Because we spend too much resources on doing what is doomed to fail – on an attempt to run away from ourselves. We have various ways to do this – avoiding silence, escaping into addiction, workaholism, pestering other people, etc. All that is in vain. It is like an attempt to stop thinking.
When you finally get to meet yourself it might seem uncomfortable at first (do you not feel uncomfortable when you meet an aunt whom you had not seen for 15 years?). Slowly you must come to terms with yourself – but this is the only way. But afterwards, after you become a support for yourself, you will gain infinitely and other people will be drawn to you as if you had a magnet in you.
The key is arranging for time only for yourself. Find some time during the day that will be devoted only for you. Do something just for yourself, take care of the needs you discard and focus only on you. That is not egoism – it is a smart investment that will yield gains to all around you – because if you feel better, everybody else who surrounds you will feel better too.
Let us discuss one by one the possible advantages coming from having a good relationship with yourself. Good relationship with yourself is a relation on many levels. Firstly, it is a relationship with the body. Imagine that you adore your body, you know how to read its signs and that everyday you feel relaxed, well-rested, full of energy. A distant vision, isn't it? It doesn't have to be like that. We all remember moments when we felt good in our bodies. Often those are memories of holidays or childhood. We are all familiar with such a state. What we need to do is to learn how to remember how it felt and learn techniques which will enable us to feel like that everyday, not just on holidays.
Think about your lifestyle. Do you eat when you are hungry? Does the type of food you eat make you feel good? Or do you stuff yourself with whatever falls into your hands and then you feel guilty? Or do you starve yourself to look like models from the magazines? Do you have problems sleeping and do you sleep long enough? Do you do any sports? But above all, do you like your body? Do you appreciate how extraordinary a treasure it is? Probably, like most people, you have a lot to work on in that respect. Our civilisation pushes us away from our bodies. We live, if you pardon the expression, in our heads. Most important in our lives are creativeness and new ideas. We are surrounded by more and more technological improvements. Sometimes we can spend whole days sitting, forgetting about eating and the need to sleep – not to mention physical exercise. It is important to look after your body, otherwise it might make itself heard – it can ache, become ill, it can give us a fright with different symptoms. Although they might not have physiological basis but they are very annoying. Those symptoms, for instance, are panic attacks, anxiety, psychosomatic pains, etc.
Another advantage of having a good relationship with your body is that you become more assured and confident. When we regain our body-consciousness it is as if we were moving back into our bodies. When that happens more people start to notice us. Others start feeling better and safer around us as they are be able to sense our boundaries. To better understand that difference, imagine two people. One is cut off from the body, sleepy, hungry, or eating something nervously, moving around chaotically, incoherent when communicating – the other is self conscious, well-rested, present and in good touch with oneself and with the interlocutor. What do you think, how will you feel after meeting with the first and then with the second person? Probably the first person made you feel uneasy and strange, or the person is making you tired. When you are with the other person you have the chance to slow down, rest, and also to get into deeper contact with that person. Which person do you want to be? Remember, you will be spending the rest of your life with the person you choose.
A good relationship with yourself is a good relationship with emotions and also with various elements of our personality. Most likely you were torn apart by contradicting wants many times – for instance, wether to say something which is true but something a given person might not like to hear, or keep quiet – not exposing oneself to criticism/ rejection/ anger of that person. Reconciling conflicting emotions requires maturity. Children cannot reconcile contradictions. The mother cannot be good and evil all at the same time. Evil becomes projected onto someone else. A good relationship with oneself involves integrating the contradicting emotions that we experience. This is because the situations we encounter are very rarely clearly black or white. Life is full of all shades of grey and people who we are in contact with us can be good and bad at the same time (for instance at one time they can be nice and on another quite annoying, or they can be optimistic with regards to some things and pessimistic with regards to other). When we become accustomed to experiencing contradicting emotions, they no longer get confused in our heads. 'I feel angry at my husband, but I love him at the same time, that is why I will not throw a dish at him but I will tell him about my anger' When we stop living in the 'either-or' world we can make choices that will respect emotions/ needs/ drives of others. Of course one cannot have it all. Sometimes we have to make choices and then we chose not only what we want, but we also chose that we will not be able to have the other thing. That is when we have to come to terms with the choice we made as well as with the one we did not. Similar applies to various elements of our personality and to small bits of our personal history. What elements are we talking about? Every person is different and has unique qualities. However, usually our personalities consist of a child – creative, spontaneous and sensitive; we also have an adult that contains a set of all imposed norms and rules (superego); some people have an inner critic, a controller, a policeman, a Cinderella, a fool, a tough guy, a crybaby, etc. It is important that all those elements do find their place inside of us. We become greatly affected when a trait that is forming an essential part of is unwanted and we want to get rid of it. Paradoxically, if we give some space to that element of our personality, if we welcome it and accept it, it will blend in with the rest and will cease to exert its power. We get the chance to choose only when we are aware of the whole array of our subpersonalities and when we can integrate conflicting energies – just as in the case of our emotions. At first it might have been difficult to imagine such multiplicity and the thought of all these voices within us might be terrifying – what a nightmare if all of those elements should call out at the same time demanding different things. However, if we look at it from a broader perspective we will see fantastic resources in this multiplicity. In various circumstances I can 'use' different elements of my personality – e.g. on a party I can have fun with the help of the inner fool or trickster, and later at work utilise the controller or the creativity of a child, etc. When we look into everything that shaped us it becomes clear that there is a vast amount of qualities, subpersonalities and experiences from which we can draw. How will that affect the sense of self-worth?
Finally, a good relationship with yourself is also a good relationship on the spiritual level. Do you have your place in the world, in the community you live in? Do you feel your work is your calling? Are your relationships with others deep? Can you feel a sense of belonging to a bigger picture? Regardless of religion or philosophy you expound you need time and space for your spiritual growth. Spiritual practice should be as important as brushing your teeth. Expanding the notion of spirituality to personal growth: Do you have a clear, well defined goal to which you strive? Life without goals, long and short-term, is barren and empty. Spiritual emptiness reflects itself both in the body as well as in the emotions. When you realise your wants, it will be easier for you to reach for success, life will become colourful and you will feel more and more energy within. When you are wondering about without a purpose you lose your energy, you become disheartened and tired. Therefore, devote some time to ask yourself what you desire and then write it down.
I will end with a few words on coherence. Coherence means orchestrating all of the above elements. Good mood and health is the product of coherence of the body, mind and spirit. Our thoughts have real manifestations in the physical world (sexual fantasies are the evidence) and the body influences the mind (smile and unwittingly you will feel better). When your self is unified, the language of your body, the words and the tone of your voice convey the same message. Your actions are congruent with your convictions and values. Other people can read you and they feel good around you. The external world is like a mirror in which your coherence (or its lack) reflects itself. Internal conflicts provoke external ones. The quality of the relationships with others is a reflection of your relationship with yourself.

Project was a part of International Exhibition and Conference
Make No Mistake! Error in Art – 2nd edition
Opening, December 24th, 2018, 6 p.m.
November 24th – December 9th, 2018
Venue: FUGA Budapest Centre of Architecture, Budapest
Technical errors that occur when a medium is used, as well as logical or cognitive errors, are commonly seen as challenges and obstacles in a creative process. However, errors can also offer a source of inspiration and an insight into otherwise unknown reality. The artist's certainty about his or her intentions, and the viewer's openness, seem necessary for their communication to succeed. But the way art is experienced often runs against the author's concept and contrary to the viewer's expectations. During the conference we would like to consider the situation of misreading those intentions as a potential for new, unexpected artistic and cognitive situations. Numerous achievements are made incidentally, that is, by accident, on the margin of conducted research and investigations, along the route taken to reach a different goal. Very often, they are made outside the author's awareness, yet with the support of the viewer, who shows the courage to act against traditions or established rules. We are interested in the discrepancies that occur between the intention and effect of actions undertaken by artists and researchers. Thus described approach determines the illusion and uncertainty that reveal themselves en route to experience and intellectual cognition. We would also like to examine the anxiety or even true fear of making a mistake, which makes an impact on immediate and distant future.
We would like to interpret the notion of error and its economy in a broad theoretical context (historical, cultural, philosophical, sociological, and political), as something as yet unrecognised – potential obstacle or side effect that will bring unexpected results.
Make No Mistake conference and exhibition are organised as the second edition of Error in Art project. The first part of the project was organised by the Pedagogical University of Krakow in December 2016, in collaboration with partners from Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.

Thruway To Begin Cashless Tolling This Month

Getting an E-ZPass will be the only way to avoid extra charges on tolls once the new year starts.
For the past two years, the New York State Thruway Authority has been hard at work, installing gantries at every exit and across the Thruway. The project is now finished and will be turning to cashless tolling to reduce congestion, improve safety and reduce air pollution. More than 35 bridges, tunnels and toll roads across the nation use cashless tolling already.
If motorists have an E-ZPass, your toll is collected using the same process that people are already familiar with. If someone doesn't have an E-ZPass, they will be facing higher toll charges and potential late fees and violation fees.
"This historic modernization of the Thruway system is one of the largest projects in the Authority's history," Thruway Authority Executive Director Matthew J. Driscoll said. "When we 'flip the switch' on cashless tolling in November, a new era of toll collection will commence and millions of drivers that travel the Thruway each year will benefit for generations to come."
After a motorist travels through a cashless facility, an image is captured of the license plate. Using the address on file with the Department of Motor Vehicles, a toll bill is mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle. Motorists with and without E-ZPass using the New York State Thruway cashless tolling system can pay their toll bill a variety of ways.
The E-ZPass is prepaid, so using this will be the easiest and most convenient way of paying tolls used on the thruway, but there is an alternative for those who do not want to commit.
A bill will be sent to the registered owner of the vehicle approximately 30-40 days after travel, which allows the motorist 30 days to pay the bill. If payment is not sent within 30 days, a second toll bill is sent with a $5 late fee. If the second bill is not paid by the due date, the toll bill escalates to a toll violation approximately 100 days after the date of travel.
The motorist is then mailed a Notice of Toll Violation in an orange envelope with a violation fee or fees. Violation fees are $50 per trip. If a notice of violation is not paid within 15 days of the issue date then the notice of violation may be referred to a collection agency.
Failure to respond to three or more Notices of Violation within a five-year period may result in suspension of a motorist's vehicle registration by the DMV. Not only is an E-ZPass more convenient, the tolls have a 5% discount when one is used and there is no chance of a late fee or toll violation.
On Oct. 14, the New York State Thruway Authority announced cashless tolling will go live on the Thruway's ticketed system in November. The historic conversion will take place overnight all at once at tolling locations across the 570-mile thruway system. The exact date is not yet known.
According to the Thruway Authority, the $355 million conversion to cashless tolling will transform and modernize the thruway system for the approximately 267 million motorists that travel the superhighway each year.
Cashless tolling reduces congestion through free-flowing traffic and reduces emissions by eliminating idling at toll booths.
A total of 70 steel gantries have been installed at 58 tolling points on the Thruway's ticketed system. The gantries will replace the current toll plazas, which are scheduled to be removed in Phase 2 of the project, which will finish in the fall of 2021. The gantries were built utilizing approximately 3.5 million pounds of 100% American-made steel and hundreds of New York workers in accordance with the "New York Buy American" Act at LMC Industrial Contractors Inc. in Livingston County.

I've noticed lately that the world's gone mad for gin. Whenever I mention gin on social media it goes mad. If I attend a foodie event, there are always stalls for gin. Palaces that serve just gin are popping up all over the place and there is even mass gin tasting events going on right here in Norwich! We all love gin!
I was recently soaping myself up in the shower (where I do my most serious cogitating) when an idea suddenly dawned on me; Gin Mondays! What better way to lift the spirits and relieve the stress of the worst day of the working week than with a gin and tonic or, even better, a delicious gin based cocktail?!
From now until I've drunk all the gin in the world, I will be having Gin Mondays every other Monday here on the blog. Each time, I'll introduce you to a gin you may not have heard of before. I'll tell you a little bit about it and sometimes I'll have a cocktail recipe or some other recipe to use with the gin. If you're really lucky there may even be a giveaway or two from time to time.
So, now I've justified my midweek thirst for gin told you all about the new feature, it's time to introduce my first star of the show… Elephant Gin!
Isn't she BEAUTIFUL?! This really is a gin that is beautiful on the inside and out; as you may have guessed from the name, this gin has something to do with Elephants in Africa. In fact, the founders donate 15% of all profits to two elephant foundations. Isn't that just amazing?!
Now, I love Elephants as much as the next man but what I REALLY love about this gin is the amazing flavour of it. It's infused with 14 different botanicals which gives it a really complex and unique flavour, particularly because some of the ingredients are rare African herbs and fruits you'll struggle to find in any other gin.
Of course, I'm no gin expert (I just know how to drink it and what I like!) so if you want to know more about the production or the company behind it, check out their website.
The complexity of flavour you get with Elephant Gin means it lends itself perfectly to cocktail making and blends well with other flavours. So, with that in mind, I thought I'd give you my Basil Smash recipe to try alongside it!
A crafty twist on a classic Basil Smash.
1. Place the basil and lime into a cocktail shaker and smash with a muddler if you have one, or a rolling pin. Really squish those lime halves to release the juice. 2. Add the gin and sugar syrup, then top with ice and shake until ice cold and frosty on the outside of the shaker. 3. Serve over crushed ice with a sprig of basil for garnish. Enjoy whilst still really cold!
I hope you've enjoyed my first Gin Monday. I know I have! If you have any questions or comments then please do leave them below. If you are a gin distillery and want to get in on some Gin Mondays action, you can contact me using the details found on the 'Disclosure Policy and Enquiries' tab above.
Disclaimer: I was provided a bottle of Elephant Gin free for me to review but I was not paid for this post. As always, I wasn't expected to write a positive review and all views expressed are my own personal opinions.
Love gin, it's a big thing in Edinburgh too, but you know I've never tried this one! Was at the launch of the 101 Gins to Try Before You Die book this week, I'd tried 40 of them, oops, this one is listed at No39 in the book, so will have to track it down and remedy that!
Haha, Gin Mondays, I love it 🙂 Sadly I'm not a lover of this tipple, however I would happily give that gorgeous glass bottle house room when you've polished off the contents Kevin, it's stunning!
Wow this sounds great (so does Gin Mondays!). I must try this. What a gorgeous gin.

In December 2016, we ran our 'Getting drunk is not a game' campaign to show Londoners the effect drinking too much has on us as an ambulance service.
During that festive season, we launched the hard-hitting alcohol awareness campaign highlighting the impact of alcohol-related calls on the capital's other ill and injured patients.
The social media campaign illustrated how people who have drunk so much they are collapsed and unconscious can 'top' other patients as paramedics rush to treat them, leaving others to wait longer.
Alcohol-related calls are the most common need for an ambulance among 21-30 year olds across London. Startling statistics from the emergency services show London Ambulance Service responded to over 6,000* alcohol-related incidents last December, making up seven per cent of all ambulance call outs for the month.
As part of the campaign, we provided tips and advice on social media throughout December, so that party goers could look after themselves and their friends as they enjoyed their night out.
Take a look at the campaign on social media using #NotAGame and read our top tips here.

Bee Pollen Powder
4oz, 8oz, 1lb, 2lb & 4lb resealable bags.
4oz/.25lb $6.00 8oz/.5lb $8.00 16oz/1lb $12.00 32oz/2lb $20.00 64oz/4lb $35.00
Bee Pollen from Nutrition Bulk is harvested in the upper-midwest region of the United States. We are proud to be offering domestically-produced pollen!
Bee Pollen is the male seed of a flower blossom which has been gathered by the bee's and mixed it with its own digestive enzymes. One pollen granule contains up to 5 million spores -- each capable of reproducing its entire species!
Bee Pollen is often referred to as nature's most complete food. Human consumption of Bee Pollen is praised in the Bible, other religious books, and ancient Chinese and Egyptian texts. It has long been prescribed by traditional health practitioners -- including the fathers of Western medicine Hippocrates, Pliny the Elder, and Pythagoras -- for its healing properties. More than 40 research studies document the therapeutic efficacy and safety of Bee Pollen and clinical tests show that orally ingested Bee Pollen particles are rapidly and easily absorbed -- they pass directly from the stomach into the blood stream. Within two hours after ingestion, Bee Pollen is already found in the blood, in cerebral spinal fluids, and in the urine.
Bee Pollen contains most of the world's known nutrients, including all of those necessary for human survival, and is approximately 25% complete protein containing at least 18 amino acids, more than a dozen vitamins, 28 minerals, 11 enzymes or co-enzymes, 14 beneficial fatty acids, 11 carbohydrates, and is rich in minerals and hormones. Bee Pollen is also low in calories.
Several nutrients in Bee Pollen, such as proteins, beneficial fats, Vitamins B, C, D, E, and Beta Carotene, Calcium, Magnesium, Selenium, nucleic acids, Lecithin, and Cysteine, are scientifically well documented for their ability to strengthen immunity, counteract the effects of radiation and chemical toxins, and generate optimal health and vitality.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and the Environmental Protection Agency, the two premier health monitoring organizations in the world, this year you will be exposed to over 200 different forms of radioactive toxins and over 60,000 different chemical toxins in our environment. Bee Pollen provides antioxidants that scavenge free radicals caused by exposure to radiation, chemical pollutants, and other intense physical or emotional stressors.

June 26, 2017: Who wants to stay hungry, when you have all the access to delicious food? Nobody, still they are some people who feel contented while rejecting their daily food.
Hindus observe fast and put themselves in feasting mode during the nine-day Navratri Festival. Every day of Navratri is dedicated to a special goddess. Navratri Puja is not all about fasting, it's about chanting the name of God and lighting diyas for purity, playing and dancing along with friends, a season of cropping and Hindu pupils' favourite shopping time as these days are considered to be auspicious. At the end of Navratri, devotees invite little girls to their homes and serve them food as a goddess.
Navratri is the special occasion on which fasting and feasting occur simultaneously. People practice great control and cut non-vegetarian diet during this period. Sago, Buckwheat, potato dishes and buttermilk are prepared and consumed during Navratri. Fast is considered to please the goddess, they do support religious reasons.The logic behind the fasting is much more above the spiritual one. Navratri Puja is celebrated during the onset of summers and winters. These two periods marks essential seasonal transformation. According to Ayurveda, consuming meat, onion, garlic and alcohol captivate the negative energies. The body's comparatively weak immune system will make people more prone to fall sick.
Fasting makes people much more connected to their inner self. It helps relax the digestive system which in turn brings precision into one's life. It links one with the divinity within oneself and helps in getting the feel of tranquillity. As you let go your negative energies, all the positivity gets restored and helps concentrate your energies in the right direction. The breaking up of old patterns by changing the food habits you have been following will arouse a different kind of discipline. This discipline helps a person to get rid of evils like lust, anger, greed, attachment, ego, fear, jealousy, inertia, hate and guilt.
Also Read: Why India is celebrating 9-Day Hindu Festival and how it is associated with re-incarnations of Goddess Durga?
Altogether fasting helps in effective management of metabolism, purification of body, mind and soul for maintaining well-being, harmony and perfect balance.
Ashadha Navratri Puja has started on June 24 this year. Gupta Navratri and Gayatri Navratri are other names of Ashadha Navratri.
Goddess Shailputri is worshipped on the first day (Amavasya) of Navratri.
Goddess Brahmacharini is worshipped on the second day (Dwitiya) of Navratri.
Goddess Chandraghanta is worshipped on the third day (Tritiya) of Navratri.
Goddess Kushmanda is worshipped on the fourth day (Chaturthi) of Navratri.
Goddess Skandamata is worshipped on the fifth day (Panchami) of Navratri.
Goddess Katyayani is worshipped on the sixth day (Shashthi) of Navratri.
Goddess Kalaratri is worshipped on the seventh day (Saptami) of Navratri.
Goddess Durga is worshipped on the eighth day (Ashtami) of Navratri.
Goddess Siddhidatri is worshipped on the ninth day (Navami) of Navratri.
Navratri is celebrated 4 times in a year and Fasting Now-a-days is very comman among people.
If I talk about this article then I must say that this Article has everything, a reader wants.It is one of the splendid and top-drawer articles, I have ever read.
Use a shimmery, holographic eye shadow or glittery eyeliner to stand out this festive season.

The WhatTheGrok crew goes solo and spends an hour or so talking about the Best & Worst of this Fall's TV schedule. From horrible new TV to our picks for the best (albeit geeky) things to watch this year we un-expertly break it down.
Danny once again joins the WhatTheGrok crew to talk about a smattering of random topics including Destiny, Lots of Apple News and Adam's favorite time travel movie of the moment: Edge of Tomorrow.
The crew was told to pick 1 card each from the M15 to be their favorite (and some of them failed miserably to do so). On this episode's GrokPick: Shake, Joe, Bryan and Adam cover their favorite card(s) from the new set and give a bit of a preview on some of the best selling cards in set – before it's even been released.
Reason: The Art is awesome and the card is good to.
The guys are joined by their resident amateur-professional Magic player, Shake. Who joins us to talk a little news and A LOT of Magic: The Gathering.
Specifically the Magic 2015 Core Set.
