The Measure of Humanity – Chapter EIGHT
Being awakened in the middle of the night never brings good news.
Never, ever.
This was no exception.
Worse, it woke Cass up.
Of course, waking Cass isn't generally a bad thing. In fact, it's usually a most excellent thing! And, in truth, it ended up being a good thing here, too, because Cass always thinks more clearly than I do.
But we had no idea what sort of a pile of dung we had just stepped in.
Now. Lots of news!

At least Mac had the good sense to pass a message through Minerva instead of comming me directly, Kendra thought blearily as she struggled up from sleep.
Did she tell you why she needed to see me at… She paused her message to Minerva to check her chrono. Oh four thirteen?
No, Admiral, she did not, Minerva answered.
Grumbling, Kendra eased out of bed, grabbed a short robe, and slipped from their personal quarters into her office.
"Coffee, Jamaica Blue Mountain, black," she said to the replicator. It hummed and produced a steaming mug, which she picked up and sipped before settling into her chair.
It was only a few minutes before her door chime sounded and Mac entered, looking stricken.
Kendra saw Mac's face and changed what she was going to say. "Mac, what's wrong?"
By way of answer, Mac said, "Minerva, give me the feed I was following."
The monitor lit to one of the NewsChans. A vacant-looking anchor sat, staring outward. It took Kendra a moment to register the chyron crawling at the bottom of the screen, or recognize the picture projected behind her.
"What the frak? Minerva, volume!"
"…intentional deception, or ignorance? We asked our legal expert, Professor Nina Pillsbury of the Yale School of Law, to help us understand. Professor Pillsbury?" The voice was bubbly with a pronounced Oxford English accent.
The screen split, showing a severe-looking brunette in a dark business suit. "Thank you for having me. In the simplest view, ignorance of the law is no excuse for unlawful behavior." She nodded, as if pleased at the clarity of her point.
The anchor supplied the leading question. "But what has she done that's illegal?"
"It's not what she's done, Chelsea, it's who she is. She's an Enhanced Human. Under the laws of the UE, and most of the unaffiliated nations, Enhanced Humans cannot own property or enter into contracts of any kind."
"Isn't that barbaric?" Chelsea seemed to recoil at the thought. "All humans have the right to have possessions, don't they? Personal items at least? Isn't that part of the UE Charter?"
Pillsbury acknowledged the point. "They do, Chelsea, but that only applies to humans. Enhanced Humans are specifically excluded."
"And what remedies does the law have?"
"She can certainly be stripped of her property. Her money, probably, if it was acquired through contracts which she isn't legally empowered to enter. Citizenship, possibly, though that would be more difficult. The UE Court of Justice will almost certainly end up getting involved."
Chelsea beamed at the cameras. "Thank you, Professor Pillsbury, for that enlightening explanation."
"Any time, Chelsea," the Professor replied before her image vanished, replaced by Kendra's face.
"To repeat our top story. Global News has received information that implies that the former sensie actress, Kendra Foster-Briggs, who now styles herself Admiral Kendra Cassidy, is an Enhanced Human, created in a genetic laboratory before such abominations were outlawed. We will continue to update you as more information becomes available." Chelsea turned on her sunniest smile. "Now, let's send it over…"
Kendra cut off the display. "What the hell is going on?"
"I was asleep, just like you, I didn't want to wake you, but I have Harpo looking out for all of our names in the public net, it's the best way to keep track of what people are thinking and saying, and it's really fascinating where the trails can lead, but tonight he picked up this story breaking about you, and at first it didn't seem to be much, just showing up on some of those conspiracy theory places, but then it started going mainstream, and that's when he woke me up, and we traced it and it's like someone's flooding the planetary network with all this information, just throwing it out there, and there's a bunch of people who are trying to track it down and verify it now, but once it made the NewsChans I thought you ought to see it."
"It's a lie," Kendra said flatly. "I was adopted, I had a foster mother, but I'm not some sort of creation."
"Admiral," Minerva said, and Kendra would have sworn she heard hesitation.
"Minna?"
"I think that Harpo, Diana, and I should see if we can get some more definite information."
"Go ahead. You're not going to find anything, though. It's all bull."
"Yes, Admiral." The indefinable presence that Minerva brought when she was actively listening disappeared.
"Coffee, Mac?" offered Kendra. "I don't know how long this will take to squash."
"Oh, god, yes, I mean, I'm a night owl, I know that, it kinda drives Teddy nuts, but he's used to it now, but even for me this is really late, or maybe it's really early, I never – oh, thanks," finished Mac as Kendra put a mug of coffee in front of her.
"Where else is this?" asked Kendra, sitting down again.
"It's not really widespread yet, it looks like it started hitting the net about midnight Greenwich time, and it's been building since then, but even so it's not the lead story, it's kinda buried because there hasn't been any confirmation, just a really suggestive rumor."
"Midnight Greenwich? Hmm." Kendra leaned back, staring at the ceiling. "Let's assume that whoever dumped this wanted the maximum impact. Dropping documents at midnight has a long and storied history, so whoever did this probably also runs on Greenwich time, since they probably wouldn't bother converting to some other zone."
She frowned. "Unless they're more clever than I think. No, best not to borrow trouble. Let's see. We run on Greenwich minus seven, since that's the zone for Los Alamos. HLC is Greenwich minus six."
"Why would anyone at HLC want to do this?" asked Mac. "I mean, you're the boss, well, you and Cass, and without you they wouldn't be so busy, and –"
"No, I don't think it was anyone at HLC. Timing, Mac, timing."
"What about Whatshisname, Lynch, at the UE?"
"I don't think so. He doesn't like us, but he also wants to take the Union down and, much as he hates it, he can't without our help."
Further speculation was cut off by Minerva's voice.
"Admiral, we have information to add." The AI sounded somber.
"Go ahead, Minna."
"The documents in question, and there are a considerable number, were leaked from the Artemis Colony Ministry of Intelligence."
"That makes sense!" Kendra exclaimed. "We were just talking about the time it all dropped. I had forgotten that Artemis is on Greenwich time, and they certainly hate me enough to try to discredit us any way they can. Good work."
"Admiral, there's more."
"Oh? Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt."
"Admiral," Minna started, and then, unlikely as it was for an AI, she hesitated.
"What, Minna?"
"The documents are genuine. That is to say, the information they provide is verified within the sources identified in the release."
"That can't be," Kendra said. "It just can't!"
"We have checked at the sources, Admiral. The information is accurate."
Kendra took several breaths in an attempt to calm herself.
"Lay it out for me. Is what that professor said correct?"
"In some respects, yes, Admiral. It is not as simple as she laid it out, however. While she is correct in stating that Enhanced Humans were forbidden from owning property or entering into contracts, our interpretation of the laws suggests that it would not apply to you."
"Why not? If I'm an Enhanced Human, and you say I am, then how do the laws not apply?"
"Hon? Why are you awake? Oh, hi, Mac, what are you doing here?" Cass entered the office, brushing hair from her eyes, dressed in the same sort of short robe as Kendra.
"According to Minna, I'm an Enhanced Human and have done all sorts of illegal shit," said Kendra bitterly.
"Minna, you explain."
"Good morning, Commander. What the Admiral said is not entirely accurate, but it does summarize the situation. The Artemesian Ministry of Intelligence has recovered and released documents which state the Admiral is in fact an Enhanced Human."
Before Minerva finished speaking Cass was around the desk and wrapping Kendra in her arms.
"What does it mean?" she said, still clinging to Kendra.
"Minna was about to explain the complexities when you came in," said Mac.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Cass finally released Kendra.
"Yes, Commander. The situation is complex. While the records laid out connect the Admiral to an Enhanced Human zygote created by the Mendel Genetics Laboratory in 2075, the circumstances warrant examination. Are you familiar with the Green Wars?"
The apparent non sequitur didn't faze Cass. "No more than what I learned in school."
"The treaty that ended the Green Wars forbade the creation of any more Enhanced Humans; that is, no more laboratory selected and designed zygotes would be produced. In addition, all currently-living Enhanced Humans were granted legal status and allowed to merge with society as best they could."
"But Kendra was born in 2080; tomorrow, in fact."
"That is correct, Commander. The treaty also demanded that all unquickened zygotes be brought to term as quickly as possible and raised with no knowledge of their past. The Admiral was one such zygote."
"So she was created as Enhanced but never knew it; how does that change anything?"
"The Enhanced Humans born under this codicil were individually recognized as human, with the commensurate legal standing. Kendra was not so recognized."
"Don't grunt, hon," said Cass. "Okay, Minerva, you've lost me."
"Kendra was never identified as an Enhanced Human due to a rather bizarre set of circumstances. When she was fostered, and then adopted, there were no records to contradict the assumption that she was human, as her host mother's identity was unknown." Minerva paused. "I will download the timeline to your implants."
In an instant, the entire chain of events was available to them, and they spent some moments examining the events around Kendra's birth, fostering, and adoption.
"That all fits," Kendra eventually said. "I knew I had a host mother, and that my foster family adopted me, and that nobody seemed to know anything else beyond that. Even when I had my DNA tested for matches, nothing closer than about a fifth cousin ever popped up."
"Because your DNA was taken from hundreds of donors," supplied Cass. "But why didn't the biometrics pick up on the enhancements?"
"Because there is no way an Enhanced Human can be distinguished from an unenhanced human without the relevant paper trail," answered Minerva.
"That still doesn't explain why there are any legal problems," insisted Kendra. "According to you, the kids born under this treaty were given official human status."
"Oh, I get it!" exclaimed Mac. "See, it's all in the details, because the kids all had to be individually identified and given status, and that was easy, because the records were sent from the lab to the appropriate government and it was just a matter of the chief executive signing off on the form, since you were born in the Imperium the paperwork should have gone there, but your mother was a citizen of Big Sky and had registered with a Big Sky company, so the Big Sky chief executive held all the data, and when no birth record for you was ever forwarded to their office the paperwork was probably destroyed, so you never officially got your status!"
"That is correct," confirmed Minerva. "Even though you are covered by the treaty codicil, the final confirmation of your humanity was never done. Therefore, in the eyes of the law, you are an Enhanced Human and subject to all the punitive laws and regulations which applied. I am still investigating the relevant laws and executive orders, but it will take me some time," she added.
"Oh, shit," muttered Cass. "Wedding? Inheritance?"
"Your conclusion is correct, Commander. Her wedding to you may not have any legal standing, nor her wedding to the late Mr. James, nor her subsequent inheritance."
"Oh, shit," Kendra added. "And all the deals I made…"
"Could be interpreted as null and void," completed Cass. "Minerva, you said Artemis was behind this?"
"Yes, Commander."
"Obviously, they want to cripple the Federation by throwing its legitimacy into doubt. I don't know enough about law to have a reasonable opinion, but I think it's time we call in some markers."
"Like what?" asked Mac.
By way of answering, Cass said, "Minerva, connect me to Director Hartman."

Tatiana Maher: No pageant love lost?
Posted in: 1 Pageant Pages, 2 Shout-out-Looks.	Tagged: Bb. Pilipinas 2016, shopcopper.com, Tatiana Maher.
When Tatiana Maher decided to give Bb. Pilipinas 2016 a go, she did it with full-on commitment. She trained hard and bonded with the other bets of Aces & Queens Class of 2016. So when screening time arrived, she easily made the hurdle. She was announced as one of the original forty (40) Binibinis.
Unfortunately, the joy of being selected as Official Candidate was cut short just a couple of days after. Along with four other ladies, she was disqualified for not making the prescribed height eligibility of at least 5'5″. Disappointed, she treated the whole affair as not being meant for her. She moved on and did not spend weeks consoling herself why it all had to end that way.
Tatiana has now gone past the dream of becoming a national beauty queen. I'm not sure if she will be convinced again to take part in another search where she ticks all the boxes. But I really wouldn't mind seeing her in Miss World Philippines 2016 for that matter. Will she move to that direction? Or has her interest in pageants disappeared completely?
For now, Tatiana is happy getting modelling assignments. Her photos in this feature were taken for shopcopper.com.
Posted in: 1 Pageant Pages, 2 Shout-out-Looks.	Tagged: Bb. Pilipinas 2016, Hazel Ortiz, Kim Ross delos Santos, Kisszel Malazarte, Ma. Ahtisa Manalo, Maria Gigante, Sheena Dalo, Tatiana Maher.
So we've done a post on returnees and cross-overs earlier. This time, let us give the spotlight to six of the first-timers in Bb. Pilipinas 2016. This is a mix of ladies from both Aces & Queens and Kagandahang Flores.
There is the Origin Women duo of Maria Gigante and Hazel Ortiz for KF. The other four are potential Queens from Aces, namely Ma. Ahtisa Manalo, Sheena Dalo, Kim Ross delos Santos and Tatiana Maher.
This sextet of beauties will really light up the screenings with their presence even if they are considered Binibini newbies – ranging from exotic appeal to statuesque frames to sweet faces right up to really drop-dead looks in person.
Watch the videos below. One of them (Tatiana's) is really an old one so you've got to cut her major slack because her current look and styling can give anyone a good punch. Remember them now, and compare to what you will see in the coming days ahead.
These potential Bb. Pilipinas first-time joiners are starting to warm me up!
Posted in: 1 Pageant Pages, 2 Shout-out-Looks.	Tagged: Bb. Pilipinas 2016, Cynthia Thomalla, Franchesca Diaz, Kim Ross delos Santos, Maria Gigante, Tatiana Maher.
You know you've got a big thing coming when the possible selections for the upcoming Bb. Pilipinas 2016 are getting more and more competitive as the deadline for submission of entries is starting to approach fast. While I'm not giving any absolute guarantees for the featured ladies (to date) that they will make that one crucial move to sign on the dotted line of the application form, I would still want the ones I'm really liking so far to stay committed till the screening and final selection take place at the Araneta Center.
This is not a Mythical 5 thing. Just a list of five (5) beauties who are – barring any kind of contractual hurdle in the way – starting to excite me among the first-time joiners (as opposed to rejoining or national cross-overs) we are likely to see compete in the country's biggest beauty search.
1) Maria Gigante – the transformation is amazing for this Cebuana who was the first to actually go public with her intentions of joining. Among the five, that is.
2) Tatiana Maher – the mystery lady I blogged in the recent past. Her half-Filipina, half-Irish mix may lead some pageant fans to conclude that she looks too foreign. Wait till you see her in the flesh.
3) Cynthia Thomalla – the striking 21 year-old from Macrohon, Southern Leyte whose alluring face can really blossom into the rarest of roses if mentored and made up consistently well.
4) Franchesca Diaz Floirendo – don't let the middle and last names influence you. She has her own beautiful brand to share with everyone and, chances are, she could wow us even more.
5) Kim Ross Delos Santos – the woman who took her sweet time to finally say yes to Bb. Pilipinas. My hope is that there won't be any type of obstacle now, especially not in this edition that could prove to be her last qualifying year to join, age-wise.


For the Ontario political candidate, see James MacLeod (Ontario politician). For people with a similar name, see James McLeod.
Lieutenant-Colonel James Farquharson Macleod (c. September 25, 1836 – September 5, 1894), born in Drynoch, Isle of Skye, Scotland, was a militia officer, lawyer, NWMP officer, magistrate, judge, and politician in Alberta. He served as the second Commissioner of the North-West Mounted Police, from July 22, 1876, to October 31, 1880. Fort Macleod and Macleod Trail, a major Calgary, Alberta thoroughfare, are named after him.
In 1887, Macleod was appointed to the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories, which then included what is now known as Alberta and Saskatchewan. He held this position until his death in 1894. He is buried in Union Cemetery in Calgary.
Macleod immigrated with his family from Scotland in 1845 when his father purchased a farm at Richmond Hill, Ontario. Macleod attended Upper Canada College in Toronto, Ontario and then Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. He graduated in 1854 from Queen's with a B.A. in classics and philosophy and then enrolled in 1856 at Osgoode Hall to attend law school. He graduated with an LL.B. in 1860 and articled with the law office of Alexander Campbell. It was also sometime around this time that he joined the Orange Order, L.O.L. 141, as was common of Canadian Ulster-Scots at the time.
Before law school during the summer of 1856, against the wishes of his parents, Macleod joined the Volunteer Militia Field Battery of Kingston as a lieutenant and his enthusiasm was such that his brother-in-law William Augustus Baldwin persuaded Governor General Sir Edmund Walker Head to offer Macleod a commission in the British army. His father insisted that the offer be refused.
From 1860 to 1870 Macleod practiced law in Bowmanville, Ontario, but during that time he retained an interest in the militia. He transferred in 1862 to the Bowmanville Volunteer Militia Rifle Company and was promoted to captain in 1863 and major in 1866. Active service during the Trent Affair in 1861 and the Fenian Raids of 1866 confirmed his interest in the military.
James was appointed the Legislative Assembly of Northwest Territories on October 7, 1876, to serve as one of the first three members on the permanent Northwest Territories Council.
He served as a regular appointed member until 1881 he was appointed as a Stipendiary Magistrate. He served as such until the 1st Northwest Territories general election.
He was reappointed to the Assembly as one of three Legal Advisors. A non-voting at large position created to help the assembly make the transition. The position was abolished when the legislature was dissolved in 1891, ending a 15 years of service with the legislature.

Time to get serious. DG is on his second g&t (saving the Talisker for later). This is an important moment in human history, viz., THE END OF THE WORLD (as we know it). Numéro Cinq wants to know what you'll be reading on today OF ALL DAYS. What is the last literary work to cross your earthly mind? Please respond in the comment box below.
DG, for example, is going over to the Skidmore library to see if he can find a copy of Friedrich Schlegel's Letter about the Novel which he cannot find anywhere on the Internet (and it's been irritating him).
The Possible and the Actual, by Francois Jacob.
Is there anything else to read?
That's it. Live your passions to the end.
The Princess Bride, William Goldman (1973) – but only the good parts.
All of these remind me how worthwhile this whole 'human being' thing has been. And how much fun, at times. I'll miss it.
John, You're going to have to work on the cynicism side of things.

The film tells the story of a scandal that erupts in a small town in Poland, offering a metaphor for how individuals and nations shape memory and history to fit their own identity as victim or hero. Scandal in Ivansk explores how memories are sculpted and who are these sculptors of history. The film asks sensitive questions of both Poles and Jews, about how the heroic or proud moments in their nation's past are synthesized with the dark stains that they wish to forget. The 78-minute documentary explores these questions about the politics of memory and how it is manipulated to fit the moral code of society, told through the backdrop of a group of Jewish descendants from a small shtetl in Poland attempting to restore the old Jewish cemetery. In the process, a front-page scandal breaks out when certain memories etched onto the memorial plaque collide with those of the local residents offering a glimpse into a national discourse that is taking place throughout Poland and Europe today.

The Australian Periodontology Research Foundation (APRF) was established in 1996 under the auspices of the Australian Society of Periodontology to promote research and the application of research knowledge in the field of Periodontology.
Periodontal disease, in its various forms, affects nearly all adult Australians and may range from mild bleeding gums to aggressive bone destruction around teeth with associated loss of function and even loss of teeth. Dental implants have also become a significant treatment modality in periodontics.
· To undertake, foster, develop and assist the acquisition, dissemination and application of research knowledge and information concerning the causes, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of periodontal disease.
· To encourage, stimulate and aid research in all branches of periodontal science, especially investigation into the causes and treatment of periodontal disease and to aid clinical periodontal practice.
· To stimulate public interest in the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease and related problems and to assist in keeping the dental profession of Australia abreast of the latest developments in the field of periodontal scientific research and methods of diagnosis, prevention and treatment of periodontal disease.
· To encourage, assist and arrange for dental researchers to undertake research in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of periodontal disease and to train them in methods of research in the fields of periodontal science.
Each year an award is made to the postgraduate periodontics student who publishes the best paper in either Periodontology or another peer reviewed publication. The winner receives a suitably inscribed plaque which is presented at the nearest major periodontal conference (ASP or ANZAP). Eligible papers will be nominated by program directors at each University.
The Australian Periodontology Research Foundation wishes to announce that small research grants will be available for 2013. It is recommended that the research grants should not only target postgraduate student research, but also research in universities and research by dentists in private practice. All applicants should be members of the Australian Society of Periodontology.
Preference will be given to projects that have some relevance to clinical periodontal practice. For postgraduate students to be eligible for one of these grants, the applicant should be currently enrolled in a postgraduate periodontics program at a university dental school in Australia. Ethics committee approval is required for clinical projects.
Project Grant amounts up to $3,000 will be considered and assessed by the Foundation's Research Advisory Committee. Projects already receiving funding from other sources may apply but justification for further funding is required.
Applications for 2019 are now invited and are due by close of business Friday 28 June 2019.

At the start all that is needed is a few sheets of paper and a pencil, advice on brushes,oils, pastels and acrylic materials and were to shop is freely given.
Another still life this week ( all we could find in the club house) but excellent results were achieved by all. We still need more painters! So if you wish to draw or paint just come along (bring something to draw or paint with and paper, canvas board etc.) all standards, mediums and skill levels are very welcome!
As a group our aim is to increase the amount of artistic involvement in the Charnwood area, we therefore accept everybody to our meetings, there is no need to be a member of either the Bishop Beveridge Club or the Charnwood Drawing and painting Club. You could be a beginner or skilled artist, all are welcome! We work in all mediums from the usual watercolours, oils and acrylics to glass and silk painting The Barrow group is particularly blessed by having some very skilled watercolourist and two ex-art teachers dropping in from time to time.
Cost wise we only charge enough to cover our way so each session is £2.50 for non-members and £2.00 for members of Charnwood D & P Club.
Pop in to any of these meetings (bring your paints we won't let you off that easy) you will have a friendly welcome and hopefully practice a new skill!

Neon was a trend that started last spring/summer and it is definitely back again! In Target's new designer capsule collection, Prabal Gurung has taken the neon trend and ran with it. The bright colors and floral digital prints mixed with black and white create such a fun and feminine collection for spring, and it's even more perfect for Fiesta!
Lastly, I hope ya'll like the new page design! I was never totally in love with the last design and this was a new design WordPress.com had come out with recently. I think it fits my style more.
This is not a sponsored post, I just really liked this line and wanted to share it!

INSPIRATION | RON DICIANNI
This is the first post in a series that will explore the people that have inspired me as an artist. These are the people that have shaped me, and continue to shape me, into what I am. They have inspired me: I hope they inspire you too.
The Resurrection Mural. Ron DiCianni
I have grown up with Ron DiCianni in the home. His painting In the Garden has sat above the mantle for years, Never Alone has been hung in my bedroom and multiple books of his sat on the shelf. His work as a painter has long inspired me. For the last few years what has inspired me even more is his view of art, the Christian life, and that beautiful place where they meet.
"I am a Christian, cleverly disguised as an artist. " - Ron DiCianni
Ron DiCianni was almost not born. His mother was in the operating room to have him aborted when she heard an audible voice telling her to stop. She pushed away the needle and left the clinic. Ron's mother was not at that time a Christian. His grandmother, however, was one, and she had been praying for the baby.
As Ron grew, his gift in art, as well as his passion for Christ, became apparent. Though he had the dream early on to combine these passion it did not seem likely that such an aspiration would get off the ground. When he opened up about that dream to a Christian instructor while studying at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, he was told to drop it. The instructor believed Ron could never survive doing only "Christian" art. Best to direct his talent to the secular market, he said.
In the next years, Ron's work was highly successful. He earned national recognition through corporations such as ABC, NBC, The Smithsonian, McDonald's, and others.
When he was asked to be the official artist for the United States Olympic Committee for the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games he thought he had it made. However, when President Jimmy Carter canceled the U. S. involvement in the games, those dreams came crashing down around him.
What Ron did not know at the time, was that it was all a part of God's plan to put him on the path that has lead to where he is today.

After the fall-through of the Olympics, Ron continued on. However, his old dream was now more present than ever. He felt that God was calling him to be part of a "Renaissance" of Christian art. After two decades of secular success, he was finally ready to surrender his carer and answer the call.
Ron shifted his work to painting for the Church. He painted scenes from Christian life as well as from the bible, a subject he says no artist could exhaust. He also began working with other Christian creators as well as mentoring, teaching, and inspiring artists from all walks of life.
This is his work to the present day. He continues to both produce works for the King and to help lead movements calling others to do the same with the talents God has given them.
"I realize that any painting can make you look. I'm hoping that mine will help you see." - Ron DiCianni
There is a popular phrase among some Christian creative circles that goes "I am a musician/painter/artist/etc. who happens to be a Christian."
The life of Ron DiCianni has inspired me and continues to inspire me, to go beyond this. I am not a photographer who happens to be a Christian. I am a Christian that, by the grace of God, gets to be a photographer.

Tacita Dean: The Will to Create
By Emily Eakin
Here's what happens in "Edwin Parker" (2011), the English artist Tacita Dean's twenty-nine-minute film of Cy Twombly: nothing much. He pads around his studio in Lexington, Virginia, in a herringbone tweed jacket and high-waisted linen trousers. He picks up a plaster object and sets it down. He opens an aerogramme and skims an article in the Financial Times. He goes to lunch at a local diner. Occasionally, he says a few words to an assistant, which we can't quite make out. But mostly he sits, near his studio's front window, behind drawn blinds in the fading light, impeccable and aloof, like one of his white-plaster sculptures.
Twombly died nine months after Dean filmed him, and it would be easy to see in "Edwin Parker" (the title is Twombly's given name) fresh proof of her skill as an embalmer. For nearly twenty years, Dean has been celebrated and chastised as a chronicler of obsolescence, a maker of exquisite art about dying things: shipwrecks, abandoned buildings, aging artists, technologies long past their prime. Her preferred medium is 16-mm. film—itself an endangered form in an age in thrall to digital devices—and her preferred tempo, a snail's pace, often tries the patience of critics and can seem a rebuke to contemporary life. (For "FILM," her contribution to the Tate Modern's prestigious Turbine Hall series, last fall, Dean created a sumptuous 16-mm. film that relied on painstakingly produced analog effects to showcase the medium's aesthetic possibilities—a process I documented in a profile of Dean for the magazine.) Twombly is not the first of her subjects to die: Merce Cunningham, the artist Mario Merz, the art critic Leo Steinberg, and the poet Michael Hamburger all passed away soon after she filmed them. "I've always been interested in age, in interesting people, in bodies," she told me. "People carry a lot of information in their bodies."
One of the pleasures of "Tacita Dean: Five Americans," an exhibition at the New Museum that features "Edwin Parker," along with recent films of Cunningham and the artists Julie Mehretu and Claes Oldenburg (as well as several photographs of Steinberg), is the way it turns Dean's fixation on obsolescence on its head. If there's a unifying theme to this show, it's not the inevitability of demise but, rather, the more mysterious imperative to create. "GDGDA" (2011) consists of two brief films (one is three minutes, the other four) of Mehretu—at forty-one, a mere child in Dean's schema—as she completes a monumental canvas destined for the lobby of Goldman Sachs. (Calvin Tompkins wrote about the painting in a profile of Mehretu for the magazine.) We watch Mehretu and her assistants patiently dab fresh paint on top of existing layers, peel away masking tape and brown paper from finished sections, and apply what looks like an industrial blow dryer to the canvas, often mounting a scissor lift to do so. And because the films are shown on continuous loops—they are back-projected on small sheets of Plexiglas suspended side by side from the ceiling at eye level—the artist's labors, both obsessive and mundane, never cease.
Similarly, for the sixteen minutes of "Manhattan Mouse Museum" (2011), Oldenburg, elderly but mercifully vigorous, silently rearranges knickknacks—wind-up sushi toys, plastic Popeye figurines, an impressively realistic pink leather strap-on, as well as miniature versions of his iconic sculptures—on the shelves of his New York studio, displaying a concentration that is mesmerizing to watch, and which never ends, since the film immediately begins again. But perhaps the show's most poignant depiction of creative compulsion is "Craneway Event" (2009), which portrays Merce Cunningham rehearsing his troupe in a former Ford assembly plant overlooking the San Francisco Bay. Dean's camera hovers near Cunningham, a rapt presence in a wheelchair, issuing terse directives in a hoarse whisper. For minutes on end, the only sound is the muffled thud of feet against floorboards. Cunningham's troupe employed some of the most exciting modern dancers around, including the astonishing Silas Riener, and it's a treat to watch them perform. But Dean is after something else here, not physical virtuosity per se, but, rather, the desire that sustains it. As the dancers begin their rehearsal, light floods the plant through a double row of mammoth windows. Ships inch past. Gradually, the day wanes and the light dissipates. Still the rehearsal continues, until, by the film's final sequence, the dancers' bodies are flickering silhouettes, indistinguishable from the encroaching blackness.
"Craneway Event" lasts nearly two hours, and when I saw it a dozen other people joined me for parts. None stayed to the end. Which is too bad, because it takes time to see past the superficial tedium of Dean's work to the compelling questions that lurk in it, among them: Why make art? Dean is a mystic, and her recent films are best understood in this light, as awed testaments to the ineffable process by which obsession, solitude, boredom, and repetition are transfigured in the studio. Twombly doesn't make any art in "Edwin Parker," but near the end of the film Dean's camera takes in a wall, on which spatters of dried paint mark the spot where a canvas once hung. In its place are narrow bands of gray—shadows cast by the window blind across the room. Together, the spatters and the shadows suggest a phantasm, the painting in the artist's mind.
Twombly makes art because he can't do otherwise. According to a wall plaque at the exhibition, Dean told him that she is afraid of flying but tolerates it for the sake of her art. Twombly commiserated, revealing that as a child the act of painting sometimes made him so anxious that his mother wondered why he persisted. "Does painting make you happy now?" Dean asked. To which Twombly replied, "More or less."

In the past years, Ireland has witnessed a significant increase in international students, coming to the green country either to learn English for a few months, to take part in an exchange or to obtain a University Degree.
Whichever their choice, these students must usually face the harsh reality of bureaucracy and visa applications, which can be quite confusing.
We want to offer some hints and tips for students who intend to undertake a studying period in Ireland and do not know how to deal with the legal aspects of it.
Unless you are a member of an EEA state, of one of the states for which a visa is not required or you are related to an EEA national, you will most likely need to obtain a visa before you can travel to Ireland.
Visa applicants must apply online for their visa. If you wish to study in Ireland for less than 3 months you should apply for a 'C study visa'. If your course lasts longer than 3 months, you should apply for a 'D study visa'.
You will need to provide certain documents with your visa application. You don't know which ones? Don't worry, we are here to help you.
What I have just listed above is a general framework about which type of visa you need to apply for and which documents you will need for the application.
If you do not need a visa to enter Ireland, you do not need to obtain a study visa either. However, all non-EEA nationals, with or without visas, need to obtain permission to enter the state by reporting to an Immigration Officer.
The visa you receive is a one-entry visa. For this reason, if you want to leave Ireland for a short while and then return, you will need to apply for a re-entry visa.
The standard fees for visa applications are 60 euro for a single journey visa; 100 euro for a multiple-journey visa. However, under certain circumstances, the visa fee does not have to be paid at all.
For non-EEA students coming to Ireland to study, there is the possibility of finding part-time casual employment for a maximum of 20 hours per week in term time or up to 40 hours per week during college vacation periods, that is, from June to September inclusive and from 15 December to 15 January.
Visa applications must be made online.
If you need more detailed information, don't hesitate to contact us at Modern Polyglots, either through email, phone or directly in our office.
We will be more than happy to assist you in every step of your visa application process.

How Does Cocaine Affect the Body?
Written by Traci Joy
Cocaine is a stimulant drug that can be taken orally or by way of injection into a vein. Cocaine is a popular street drug, but the National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that it's also used in medical facilities as a local anesthetic 1. Cocaine is most often used as a white powder, which is snorted or injected, or as "crack," which is cocaine that has been heated and now forms a rock-like, smokable substance. Regardless of the manner in which cocaine enters the body, its effects can be deadly.
Cocaine has been found to have irreversible and fatal consequences on the heart. According to a study in the 2009 issue of the American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs, cocaine is the main cause of drug deaths in the U.S., and most of these deaths are related to cardiac symptoms the drug produces 2. This study shows that the actions cocaine has on the heart include speeding the progression of heart disease, causing arrhythmias or irregular heartbeats, and heart failure or sudden death. Cocaine affects heart disease by causing constriction of the arteries. It causes irregular heartbeats by blocking the channels that allow potassium--a necessary mineral for heart rhythm--to cross cell membranes, and it can cause sudden death by raising the risk of developing blood clots that cause a heart attack or stroke.
Cocaine use also has altering affects on the brain. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that whether cocaine is smoked or snorted, it reaches the brain quickly and is highly concentrated in certain areas 13. When a person smokes or snorts cocaine, it travels quickly to the brain. Although it reaches all areas of the brain, it concentrates in some specific areas. One of these areas is called the "reward system" part of the brain. Cocaine stimulates this area, making the user feel so good that he wants more. It's cocaine's effect on this area of the brain that makes the addiction so hard to break. A report from Harvard University shows that cocaine also affects brain function by slowing blood flow 3. This particularly affects the areas of the brain that control memory, attention span and learning ability. The constricting of the blood vessels, which causes the slow blood flow, lasts even days after the last cocaine use.
Cocaine gives the user a false feeling of euphoria, due to the fact that it's stimulating certain areas of the brain. Unfortunately, this effect can be enough to keep the user addicted, regardless of the effect it's having on other areas of the brain and heart.

Dry brining not only imparts great flavor, it tenderizes and adds moisture, too. It also happens to be the simplest method of brining, leaving your guests to beg for the recipe!
Place 1 Tablespoon of the thyme, the 6 sage leaves, 1 Tablespoon of the rosemary, pepper, salt, brown sugar, 2 cloves of the garlic, and lemon zest into your Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
Select the lowest setting. Start the machine, slowly increase to its highest speed, and blend for 10 seconds. Stop the machine.
Remove turkey from packaging, as well as the innards (set aside for later use), and pat dry with paper towels.
Separate the skin from the breast of the turkey by gently pushing your hands under each side, being careful not to rip the skin. Carefully work 2 Tablespoons of the dry rub under the skin of each breast. The remaining rub should be applied onto the skin of the legs and wings.
Allow to sit uncovered for at least 10 hours in the refrigerator.
Once turkey is brined, preheat oven to 160°C (325°F).
Rinse turkey and pat dry with towels. Rub the skin with butter. Stuff the cavity with the remaining head of garlic, onion, and remaining 2 sprigs of thyme, 2 sprigs of sage, and 3 sprigs of rosemary.
Place turkey on a rack in a roasting pan. Add 240 ml (2 cups) of the stock and the innards to the pan. Roast in the oven for 1½ hours, basting with drippings every 35 to 40 minutes.
Add the remaining stock to the pan. Roast for another 2½ to 3 hours, or until a thermometer inserted into the thigh reads 75°C (165°F).
Strain and reserve the pan drippings for gravy.

Plains GP Holdings company profile
Plains GP Holdings
RANK98
Plains GP Holdings is the parent of Plains All American Pipeline (PAA), which provides infrastructure and logistics services for crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids (like ethane and propane) in the U.S. and Canada. Revenues shrank by 1% last year, to $33.7 billion, pushing it down four spots on the Fortune 500, and profits dipped by roughly the same rate. And the coronavirus-related shutdowns this year, which have clobbered demand for oil and gas, aren't making things easier for 2020. One immediate setback: A planned joint venture between Plains and Phillips 66 to create Red Oak Pipeline—intended to transport crude oil from Cushing, Oklahoma, and the Permian Basin to key markets along the Texas Gulf Coast—has been deferred, as economic activity has slowed across the board. To keep more cash in its coffers, PAA has reduced its capital spending program and cut distributions to shareholders by half. The company also plans to sell off a total of $440 million in assets this year.

North Korean Capital Sees 'Panic Buying' of Food, NK News Says
Bloomberg Thứ Năm, 23/4/2020 06:00
(ĐTTCO) - Consumers in North Korea's capital this week have been "panic buying" food staples, causing some store shelves to empty, according to a news service that specializes in the country.
The purchases may be due to stricter coronavirus measures on the way for Pyongyang and don't appear related to reports this week that leader Kim Jong Un may be seriously ill, NK News reported, citing people who live in Pyongyang and were able to communicate outside the country. Shortages were initially limited to imported fruit and vegetables and then moved on to other goods, it said.
Radio Free Asia also reported last week that the prices of food staples in North Korea were rising sharply because of panic buying.
North Korea closed its borders in January when coronavirus cases in neighboring China began to skyrocket. Kim's regime has said it has no confirmed infections from the virus but the U.S. is "fairly certain" it has cases because of a noticeable lack of military activity, General Robert Abrams, commander of U.S. Forces Korea, told reporters in a teleconference briefing in March.
Food shortages are common in North Korea, which is one of the world's poorest states. In the 1990s, a famine killed as much as 10% of the population, according to some estimates.
The virus could make things worse. The United Nations' World Food Program warned this week that economic hardship caused by the pandemic may lead to starvation in the developing world. The WFP, which has operations in North Korea, has said about 40% of the population is undernourished, adding "food insecurity and malnutrition are widespread."
Kim was conspicuously absent from birthday celebrations on April 15 of his grandfather and state founder Kim Il Sung. He has not been seen since a politburo meeting on April 11, raising speculation about his condition.
The state-run Korean Central News Agency reported that Kim on Wednesday sent a message to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Letters of this sort are reported frequently.
U.S. officials said Monday they were told Kim was in critical condition after undergoing cardiovascular surgery last week and they were unsure of his current health. Meanwhile, South Korean President Moon Jae-in's office said that Kim was conducting "normal activities" in a rural part of the country assisted by close aides and no special movements were detected.
The health of North Korea's leader is one of the most closely guarded secrets in the isolated state, known only to a few people in its inner circle. U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he doesn't know about Kim's health, adding that he might reach out to check on him.

(January 24, 2022) – Average gasoline prices in Texas have risen 7.8 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.99/g today, according to GasBuddy's survey of 13,114 stations in Texas. Prices in Texas are 15.9 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand 89.5 cents per gallon higher than a year ago.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas was priced at $2.59/g yesterday while the most expensive was $3.99/g, a difference of $1.40/g. The lowest price in the state yesterday was $2.59/g while the highest was $3.99/g, a difference of $1.40/g.
The national average price of gasoline has risen 1.8 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.32/g today. The national average is up 3.3 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 92.0 cents per gallon higher than a year ago, according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country.
Historical gasoline prices in Texas and the national average going back ten years:
January 24, 2021: $2.09/g (U.S. Average: $2.40/g)
Midland Odessa- $3.13/g, up 10.5 cents per gallon from last week's $3.03/g.
San Antonio- $2.90/g, up 4.2 cents per gallon from last week's $2.86/g.
Austin- $2.92/g, up 1 cent per gallon from last week's $2.91/g.
"With oil prices remaining elevated, average gas prices inched up in most states over the last week even as gasoline demand weakened, a testament to how concerned oil markets are with unrest in oil producing nations. With all eyes on the Russia/Ukraine situation, oil will likely remain north of $80 per barrel, with additional volatility. Prices could rise even more significantly if there is any further deterioration in the situation," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "For now, I don't expect any immediate fireworks at the pump, but the trend of rising gas prices will likely persist as worries continue to overpower weak global consumption."
GasBuddy is the authoritative voice for gas prices and the only source for station-level data spanning nearly two decades. Unlike AAA's once daily survey and the Lundberg Survey, updated once every two weeks based on a small fraction of U.S. gasoline stations, GasBuddy's survey updates 288 times every day from the most diverse list of sources covering nearly 150,000 stations nationwide, the most comprehensive and up-to-date in the country. GasBuddy data is accessible at http://prices.GasBuddy.com.


Many years ago air conditioning was something of a luxury for people because it was so expensive, and lots of people had to spend the summer months grumbling about how uncomfortably hot it was. These days, it's totally different. Almost 80% of new homes built in the US have air conditioning installed at the point of construction, so it's something that's included with the price. If you have a home that's slightly older, you may not have bought it with air-con installed, and have reached a point where you think it's worth investing the money to buy a system like this. However, many people worry about the running costs of air conditioning in Cincinnati. We all know how the cost of electricity is going up, and since this is what these systems use as their source of power, it can be an issue for some. If you're not yet aware, the US Government has recognized this potential problem, and there is a system called Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, or SEER. This system rates certain models of air-con units based on how efficient they are in terms of the energy they use; so, this is something you should look out for when you're deciding which model to have. Of course, you should always look for a reputable company that specializes in air conditioning in Cincinnati, and the reason for this is they will have experts at hand who can advise you on the best system to suit your home. The type of system you have all depends on the size of your home. Larger houses tend to need a centralized system which is controlled by a digital panel installed on a wall. Smaller houses may only need the odd unit installed in a couple of rooms to help with temperature control, and these are controlled individually. When you're looking for a company to help you, make sure you get at least 3 quotes for the work that needs doing. If you receive a quote that's high, but want to get the firm who sent it to you, it's always worth asking them if they can match the lower prices you have. You'll be surprised at how many companies will do their best to bring the costs down so they win your business. Something you should look out for when you're in the middle of obtaining quotes, is what happens when an installer comes to your home to assess what's needed. They should take a look in every room in the house, and be able to tell you if a unit can be installed in a specific room. Air conditioning units need an outlet, and some ceilings won't be able to accommodate this. If your installer looks at the finer details like this, it's likely they are one of the more experienced firms in your area. Air conditioning in Cincinnati doesn't have to be expensive anymore, and you can finally have an efficient temperature control system in your home. Just remember to choose a good installation company with a great reputation. Air conditioning in Cincinnati is not out of your reach because of energy bills. Find a reputable firm that's well aware of the SEER system. For more information, visit Adco Heating & Air Conditioning online.

Q: Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition - Secondary key unicity I have a simple entity class and it is supposed to include unique names on it.
@Entity
class Package {
    @PrimaryKey(sequence = "ID")
    public Long id;

    @SecondaryKey(relate = Relationship.ONE_TO_ONE)
    public String name;

    private Package() {}

    public Package(String name) { this.name = name; }

    @Override
    public String toString() { return id + " : " + name; }
}

I want to use deferred writing option because of extensive modification. Here is the test i tried and its output.
final String dbfilename = "test01";
new File(dbfilename).mkdirs();
EnvironmentConfig config = new EnvironmentConfig().setAllowCreate(true);
Environment environment = new Environment(new File(dbfilename), config);
StoreConfig storeConfig = new StoreConfig().setAllowCreate(true).setDeferredWrite(true);
EntityStore store = new EntityStore(environment, "", storeConfig);

PrimaryIndex<Long, Package> primaryIndex = store.getPrimaryIndex(Long.class, Package.class);

try {
    primaryIndex.put(new Package("package01")); // will be put.
    primaryIndex.put(new Package("package01")); // throws exception.
} catch (UniqueConstraintException ex) {
    System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
}

store.sync(); // flush them all

// expecting to find one element
SortedMap<Long,Package> sortedMap = primaryIndex.sortedMap();
for (Package entity : sortedMap.values()) {
    System.out.println(entity);
}

Output
(JE 5.0.73) Unique secondary key is already present
1 : package01
2 : package01

So my question is that even if it throws exception while putting second package, why does it lists two packages. Any way to avoid this without using transactions?
Thanks.

Breaking news and updates: China slaps more taxes on Aussie wine; Woman who beheaded mother not guilty of murder; Coronavirus vaccinations could begin early; Lindt siege gunman's ex-girlfriend has murder sentence slashed
By Brandon Livesay

6:08pm Dec 10, 2020
Welcome to the 9News.com.au live blog for Thursday, December 10. The Prime Minister has hinted coronavirus vaccinations could begin in Australia before March. China has hit back over Australian claims it breached a trade deal, and UK health authorities have issued a warning over the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine just one day into the country's vaccination program.

That's a wrap for our live blog of today's major news and current events.
There's been a few breaking news stories late this afternoon with China slapping more taxes on Aussie wine, a house collapsing in Bondi and a shark attack victim tragically dying.
You can keep up to date with those stories and all the latest across news, sport, entertainment and lifestyle at nine.com.au.

Shark attack victim dies
The person who was attacked by a shark yesterday in Hawaii has died.
They were surfing near the Maui Pro competition site at Honolua Bay, where the world's best women surfers were starting their competitive season.
The attack happened about three hours before the comp was to start for the day.
The male recreational surfer suffered injuries to his leg and reportedly required CPR on shore before being rushed to hospital.

The side of a building has collapsed near Bondi Beach in Sydney.
China slaps more taxes on Australian wine amid tension
By AP 10 Dec 2020 05:40
China's government has slapped more taxes on wine from Australia, stepping up pressure in a bitter diplomatic conflict over the coronavirus, territorial disputes and other irritants.
China, Australia's biggest export market, already has blocked imports of its wine, barley, beef and other goods since the Australian government expressed support for a probe into the origin of the coronavirus pandemic that began in China last December.
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce said an investigation begun in August concluded Australia improperly subsidises wine exports, hurting Chinese producers.
The ministry said importers will be required to pay a deposit of 6.3 per cent to 6.4 per cent, effective Friday, pending a final ruling.
That is on top of taxes of more than 200 per cent imposed earlier on Australian wine, which the country's trade minister said would make it unsellable in China.
China's foreign ministry has demanded Australia take unspecified steps to repair relations.
Beijing increasingly uses access to its populous market as leverage to extract concessions from its neighbors and increase its strategic influence.
Chinese leaders were irked by Australia's decision to pursue a mutual defense treaty with Japan, which Beijing sees as a strategic rival, and to join Asian governments and the United States in objecting to China's claims to most of the South China Sea, one of the world's busiest trade routes.

Arctic warming could have caused dust cloud visible from space
By 9News staff 10 Dec 2020 04:55
A gigantic dust cloud dubbed "Godzilla" that rose over the Sahara in Africa this year might have been caused by warmer Arctic temperatures, new research has found.
The huge cloud, which was visible from space, was whipped up in June and eventually whirled across to hit the Americas, causing air quality warnings.
Saharan dust flowing across the sea to South America is an annual occurrence, and provides important soil enrichment as well as suppressing hurricanes, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
But this year's Godzilla phenomenon could have been caused by warmer winds in the Arctic, a group of scientists reported in a study published in the Geophysical Research Letters journal.

Zerostat VT Spacer is a non-static small volume chamber which holds the medicine so that you have enough to inhale it comfortably. It allows the medicine to reach the lungs with minimal deposition in the mouth or throat. The transparent inhaler spacer is easy to use and allows you to obtain full benefits of the medicine.
To assemble the Zerostat VT spacer, firmly push the two halves of the spacer together and rotate.
Remove the cap from the mouthpiece of the inhaler. Shake the inhaler well.
Insert the inhaler firmly into the opposite end of the Zerostat VT spacer.
Holding the inhaler, press down on the canister to release a dose into the Zerostat VT spacer.
Breathe out fully, through the mouth. Immediately remove the mouthpiece cap from the Zerostat VT spacer and then close the lips firmly around the mouthpiece to create a good seal (do not bite it). Breathe slowly and deeply through the mouth, thus inhaling the medicine through the space.
Remove the Zerostat VT spacer from the mouth and hold your breath for about 10 seconds, or as long as is comfortable. Breathe out normally. If a second dose is required, wait for a minute, repeat steps 2 to 5.
You can continue to use your Zerostat VT up to 6 months and then discard it and use a new one.
