that's for the alien spaceships to land on.
The cable shows about aliens and ufos say that area 51 moved to Nevada.
I'm leaning toward the possibility explored in the movie Independence Day.
Nothing its just a myth.
The government is flying experimental aircraft employing exotic propulsion systems and stealth technology.
It's not a myth. They used to do experiments and test experimental aircraft. The most recent "surveys" of the area these days though seem to show that Area 51 is abandoned (probably because of all the publicity).
If aliens can fly across the universe without dieing by either a collision, being detected, then i must assume that they can remain invisible to us if they so desire. Area 51 is a experimental testing site.
That's classified. I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
I heard little gray and green people are roaming around - no Mexicans I assume, most are brownish!
Test military aircraft. The stealth bomber was tested there.


Thank you very much for the re-up !!!
Mega is the BEST!!!!! Fastest, most secure download!
Hearty thanks. Used to see these guys back in my Chicago days. Their shows often turned into a slopfest but it was always a good loud time.


Kendal Marriott, Scott Holmes, Jonathon Tay, Matthew Heath; Goal-directed grasping: Visual and haptic percepts of object size influence early but not late aperture shaping. Journal of Vision 2012;12(9):1095. doi: 10.1167/12.9.1095.
Previous work by our group has shown that visually derived grasping yields a dynamic adherence to the psychophysical principles of Weber's law (Heath et al. 2011: Neurosci Lett; Holmes et al. 2011: Vis Res). In particular, aperture variability (i.e., just-noticeable-difference scores: JND) during the early - but not late - stages of aperture shaping increases with the size of a to-be-grasped target object. This 'dynamic' adherence was interpreted to evince that the early kinematic parameterization of a response is mediated via relative visual information and that later control is subserved via absolute visual information. The goal of the present study was to determine whether early JND/object size scaling similarly characterizes aperture trajectories when object size is defined haptically. Participants were provided a haptic preview of object size (i.e., 20, 30, 40 50 and 60 mm) by holding an appropriately sized target object with their non-grasping (i.e., left) limb. Following the preview, participants were cued to either manually estimate (i.e., perceptual task) or grasp (i.e., motor task) the target object, which was located 450 mm distal to a common start location. Importantly, responses in the motor task were performed with (no-delay) and without (i.e., delay) online haptic feedback, and for all tasks vision was occluded. As expected, manual estimations elicited a robust JND/object size scaling (i.e., Weber's law). For the motor task, both conditions showed an early scaling of JNDs to object size on par to the perceptual task; however, aperture shaping later in the response (> 50% of grasping time) did not. These results indicate that the time-dependent scaling of grip aperture to Weber's law represents a polysensory representation of object size. That is, vision and haptics provide relative and absolute information to support goal-directed actions.

Do This! Fun in General
20 Great Things to Do in Tucson This Weekend: Dec. 21 - 23
Posted By TW Fun & Games Desk on Fri, Dec 21, 2018 at 1:00 AM
Centerpieces & Cocktails. Here's a great class where you can learn how to impress your holiday guests, and have a cocktail to deal with them at the same time! Green Things is teaching you how to create a beautiful, living holiday centerpiece and also serving up some fancy "Poinsettia Cocktails." What more could you ask for? Other than the holidays being over. 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22. 3384 E. River Road. $5 plus the cost of supplies. 21+ for the cocktails. Details here.
Brewstillery Tour. Tucson Food Tours, the first walking culinary tour in Tucson (and certainly the first walking brewstillery tour in Tucson), is taking you behind the scenes of our blossoming brewery scene. You'll get to sample local beers and local liquors. And although the focus is on the drinks, you will also sample a few local bites. 1 to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22. Meet at W. Congress St. and Fifth Avenue. $59. 21+ Details here.
A Christmas Concert with TaliasVan's Bright & Morning Star Choir & Orchestra. So, TaliasVan's Bright & Morning Star Choir & Orchestra has been around for more than 20 years now, performing music by its founder, the one-and-only (we assume—it's not a very common name, as far as we know) TaliasVan. The 50-voice choir performs both classic carols and original Christmas compositions that were written to reflect the divine. TaliasVan's CosmoYouth Choir, a group of 12- to 16-year-olds that have been performing professionally all over Tucson for the last four years, is opening the show. Feel free to come early and enjoy the beer and wine garden, food truck, snacks and Sacred Treasures shop. Santa will be there too! 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22. Sea of Glass Center for the Arts, 330 E. Seventh St. $15. Details here.
Southern Arizona Women's Chorus Winter Concert. You've heard the men's choir, the boys' choir, the girls' choir and a broad selection of co-ed choirs this holiday season. Now it's the women's turn to step up to the plate, and they're not doing a typical holiday concert. The theme of this one is "Tibetan Sounds and Psalms," and will feature—alongside the sound of the choir's lovely voices—singing bowls and gongs. If you've had enough traditional holiday music (it's OK. You can say it. It doesn't mean you hate Christmas, or fun. Just that every building, car and outdoor area you've entered for the past month has played nothing but holiday music, and you need a break), this is your chance! 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 21. The Benedictine Monastery, 800 N. Country Club Road. $20. They've got another performance coming up in January, too! Details here.
A Cirque Holiday. One of the best things about living in a town full of artists is all of the opportunities for different kinds of artists to team up and do awesome stuff. Case in point: The Tucson Symphony Orchestra and Troupe Vertigo (actually from Los Angeles) are putting on this show that combines orchestral music with performance art. Contortionists, strong men and aerialists will perform above the orchestra, who will be playing holiday favorites from The Nutcracker and Babes In Toyland. Not to mention plenty of classic carols like "Jingle Bells" and "The Little Drummer Boy." Santa Claus will be in the lobby after performances to accept Christmas lists. 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 22 and 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 23. Tucson Music Hall, 260 S. Church Ave. $30 to $76, and half price for kids under 18 and active military. Details here.
Musical Theatre Karaoke. If all these performances of The Music Man have you screaming classic showtunes at the top of the lungs on your commute to work, this event is for you. Following select performances of the show (put on by the Arizona Theatre Company), everyone is welcome to flock to the Temple of Music & Art's café for some free showtune shenanigans. You don't have to only sing musical theatre, but if you do, what'll it be? Something from a classic, like Singing in the Rainor Thoroughly Modern Millie? A comedy piece, like I Am Adolpho from The Drowsy Chaperone? A contemporary favorite, from a show like Wicked or Hamilton? The possibilities are endless. Break a leg! (And check the Facebook event page for nightly code phrases for drink specials). 9:45 p.m. to midnight Friday, Dec. 21 an 28 and Saturday, Dec. 22 and 29. Arizona Theatre Company, 330 S. Scott Ave. Free. Details here.
Dance-With-Us. You might have heard that Moscow Ballet's production of The Great Russian Nutcracker is coming to town. But did you hear about their community engagement program, "Dance-With-Us"? Moscow Ballet audition directors travel around to local dance studios and let kids audition for roles as party children, mice, snowflakes, snow maidens and more. Then kids spend the fall rehearsing at host studio Flor de Liz Dance and perform in a professional ballet, with costumes provided courtesy of Moscow Ballet. Basically, this is a chance to see performances by young rising stars who have spent the past few months receiving Russian Vaganova ballet training. What a neat world we live in! 3 and 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 21. Centennial Hall, 1020 E. University Blvd. $33 to $73+. Details here.
Not Your Ordinary Nut/Winter Showcase. Maybe you appreciate The Nutcracker on, like, an intellectual level, but an hour and a half of straight ballet just isn't up your alley. Danswest Dance's one-act production of the "Un-Nutcracker," featuring tap, jazz, hip hop and aerobic dance, might be just what you—and your whole family—are looking for. The "second act" of this show is a student showcase, highlighting some of these young dancers' biggest achievements for the season and making you feel all warm, fuzzy and proud of today's youth. 2 and 6 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 22. Palo Verde High Magnet School, 1302 S. Avenida Vega. $15 to $25. Details here.
In the Christmas Mood: A Holiday Music Spectacular. If you've heard of Christmas (and we suspect you have), then you've probably heard of Andy Williams, whose 74-year career in the music industry is best-remembered by many people for the many, many Christmas TV specials and song recordings it included. The Fox Theatre is bringing back some of that good old-fashioned holiday spirit with this show, featuring classics like "Jingle Bells" and "Sleigh Ride" being sung by Tucson's own Crystal Stark, New York performer Brian Levario and a cast of other talented performers—including the Tucson Arizona Boys Chorus. A portion of the evening's proceeds benefit the Diaper Bank of Southern Arizona, and volunteers will also be collecting diapers at the event, so your heart can feel as content as your ears. 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 21. The Fox Theatre, 17 W. Congress St. $22 to $32. Details here.
MOCA Winter Solstice Celebration. If you haven't seen "Blessed Be: Mysticism, Spirituality, and the Occult in Contemporary Art," over at MOCA, the closing party—full of artmaking activities, tarot readings, a bonfire, movie screenings and live performances—is the perfect chance to do it. Self-described psychonaut Adam Cooper-Terán is putting on "All of the Answers are in the Earth," a story about the wrongful arrest of Michael Joseph Cooper. Vabianna Santos' piece, "Headless Love," alternates between passages of singing and breath being held underwater in a narrative that fuses ideas about queer intimacy with physical endurance. And Angèle Lebert's "Meditation II" is described only as an "interpersonal experimentation" that will have viewers/participants crossing all sorts of borders. 8 to 11 p.m. Friday, Dec. 21. Tucson Museum of Contemporary Art, 265 S. Church Ave. Free. Details here.
Earthrise. You know the photo: The one with part of the moon's surface in the foreground and the Earth rising out of the darkness in the distance? Astronaut Bill Anders took it on Christmas Eve 1968 during the Apollo 8 mission. Considering Christmas Eve is this week, and that we're all still abuzz about the recent milestones in the OSIRIS-REx mission, Flandrau is screening a new documentary about and named for this iconic photograph. Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee directs the 30-minute film that brings us the voices of the Apollo 8 astronauts talking about their experiences and trip around the Moon. 3 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 20, 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22, and 3 p.m. Monday, Dec. 24. Flandrau Science Center & Planetarium, 1601 E. University Blvd. $8 adults, $6 kids. Details here.
Southern Solstice: A Winter Fire Ritual in the Sonoran Desert. This time of year is filled with all sorts of reasons to celebrate, whatever you choose to celebrate. So it's only fitting that Cirque Roots is offering up this show will all sorts of talent. Fire dancing, acrobatics, aerial arts and stilt dance will all be going down during sunset in celebration of the winter solstice. Bring your own chairs and blankets, sip on a hot drink from Peddler on the Path and take a moment to celebrate this special point in the Earth's orbit. And do it all overlooking the gorgeous Catalinas. 5:30 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22. Brandi Fenton Memorial Park, 3482 E. River Road. $10 to $20, or free for kids under 10. Details here.
The Arroyo Café Radio Show. If the holiday season doesn't make you feel all warm and nostalgic enough already, then you really ought to experience gathering around the radio with the family, preferably in the dim glow of a string of Christmas lights, and listening to the Christmas Eve broadcast of a radio show. Better yet, gather up the family, drive through Tucson's festive streets and go watch a taping of the Arroyo Café Players on the AZPM Holiday Spectacular. The show features Crystal Stark, Marty Bishop, Fitz, Jay Taylor, Grandsons of the Pioneers and even Wilbur the Wildcat. There's also many more entertainers, including a special mystery guest! 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22. The Rialto Theatre, 318 E. Congress. $15 online or $20 at the door. Details here.
Pop-Cycle Holiday Clothing Drive. If you haven't already donated jackets, scarves, gloves, socks, backpacks, toiletries, sleeping bags or some sweets or fruits for Pop-Cycle to hand out to people in need, you're not too late! They're collecting new and gently-used donations until 6 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 23. The Pop-Cycle crew is heading out on Christmas Eve to hand out the supplies, and you can get in touch with them if you'd like to be a part of the delivery process. You probably have a jacket lying around you just never wear anymore, or are going to see some warm, fuzzy socks for cheap while you're waiting in the checkout line doing some Christmas shopping. Why not spread some holiday warmth and light with a simple, easy gesture? Pop-Cycle, 422 N. Fourth Ave. Details here.
Winterhaven Festival of Lights. If you haven't made it to Winterhaven for the holidays yet, you'd better get over there! There's less than a week left until Christmas! You've probably been running around like crazy trying to prepare for the holidays, for going out of town, for giving everyone the right gift. This is what we recommend: Find yourself some parking and then take a leisurely stroll through the area known for having the best lights in town. If you prefer, take your tour on a hayride wagon, a bus trolley or a pedal-powered group bike. When you're nice and filled up with the holiday spirit, head home, make yourself a cup of hot chocolate, and do something that makes you feel calm and happy. 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. every day through Wednesday, Dec. 26. Winterhaven Neighborhood. Free. Details here.
Santa at Little Anthony's Diner. Little Anthony's Diner has been serving up heaping helpings of family fun ever since it opened. During the holidays, it's kicking the family fun into high gear by bringing in the big man himself for kids to chat and take photos with. Photos are free when you bring a non-perishable food item donation to benefit the Tucson Community Food Bank! He'll be around a few different days, but if you're looking to kill two birds with one stone, or to visit Little Anthony's twice in one day, then check out the restaurant's classic car show from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 22. DJ John hosts, and there's tons of trophies, prizes and giveaways—plus a jumping air castle! Santa is around 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 21, through Sunday, Dec. 23. Little Anthony's Diner, 7010 E. Broadway Blvd. Free with food donation. Details here.
Las Posadas Navidenas. Compania de Danza Folklorica Arizona and local professional and youth mariachis are teaming up for the first time for this event, and we're all in for a treat. Las Posadas is a 400-year-old Latinx tradition reenacting Mary and Joseph's pilgrimage to Bethlehem before Jesus' birth. Mariachi music makes the whole shebang extra festive. It's family friendly, it's full of holiday spirit and it's a great opportunity to support some local artists and enjoy a beautiful cultural celebration. Feliz Navidad! 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22. Centennial Hall, 1020 E. University Blvd. $10. Details here.
Ugly Sweater Party + Como Se Dice + Beefeaters. There's nothing quite so festive as a name like "Beefeaters," so if this show by Tucson Improv Movement doesn't get you in the holiday spirit, we don't know what will. This holiday medley show features longform improv by two of the crew's house teams, lots of ugly sweaters and even more fun. Wear an ugly sweater yourself to get a buck off of beer and wine. Consider it pregaming for Christmas, or just taking a night off from going to holiday parades and tree lightings. And you'll have time afterward to hit the town, if you want. 9 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22. 313 E. Ninth St. $5. Details here.
Retro Game Show Night's All-Star Seven Year Anniversary Show. Hotel Congress claims that their Retro Game Show Night is the longest-running monthly show in Tucson, and we're inclined to believe them—they're up to 84 months' worth of this event. Hosted by Tempest DuJour, the "Delicate Flower of the Desert" and Tucson's largest drag queen, the show features vintage television game shows, special "celebrity" guests and real contestants from the audience. At this anniversary bonanza, viewers will enjoy an episode of The $9.95 Pyramid (based on the old $10,000 Pyramid series and all of its spin-offs). 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22. Hotel Congress, 311 E. Congress St. $12. Details here.
Black Cat Bones. With tambourines, handclaps and plenty of sunny guitar work, Black Cat Bones is keeping the spirit of blues rock alive right here in Tucson. Their vivacious songs and occasional jams sound fit for the open road a la Allman Brothers—and would almost seem ripped straight out of the '70s—if not for their genre fusing of jazz and soul as well. If Black Cat Bones formed to stand the test of time and keep the blues alive, they're doing a damn fine job of it. The Rialto Theatre is presenting a Festivus holiday party, full of local bands and noisemakers. See Black Cat Bones alongside Los Streetlight Curb Players, Funky Bonz, The Endless Pursuit, Desert Fish, Creating The Scene and Nocturnal Theory. 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22. 318 East Congress St. $5. All ages. Details here.

I've visited Southern California (because that's what 99 per cent of people envisage when someone says California) a dozen times or more and Pacific coast beach-front living had been an occasionally considered dream in my late-20s, especially when I was offered a job out there. In California, in my game at least, work was interchangeable with pleasure. I flew out to feature the cars that would turn up in the as yet unreleased, original, franchise-spawning, The Fast and the Furious. I'd visit custom bike-building ace face Roland Sands, then head out to Joshua Tree on the latest Suzuki GSX-R1000. I rode Harleys in the Sierra Nevadas and was fed okonomiyaki in Santa Monica before watching Ridley Scott's production company make chase scenes to advertise upcoming PlayStation games. I would stay in a five-star hotel on one visit, the next I'd check into a polyester motel room someone had recently been murdered in. I saw shoes hung from telegraph lines signifying the otherwise invisible border of a Venice Beach street gang that Big Audio Dynamite sung about and drank cocktails at the Rainbow Bar and Grill while keeping an eye out for Lemmy. To me California was an all you can eat breakfast buffet – what wasn't flakes, was nuts – and I gobbled it up like it was my last meal.
So I knew what was there, a 12-hour flight from home, and what made California California, but the desire to relocate had evaporated. I was a state of serenity, remember? Then I invited an endless roll of 50 x 60mm photos into my life and boarded the Greyhound bus out of Contentmentville.
The crucial difference is Instagram is so damn real-time. It isn't like watching CHiPs as a kid or even visiting the place on assignment or holiday and being 'in the moment'. The images turning up on my phone, as I idly scrolled during the Ten o' Clock News, weren't pre-recorded, edited or primped, and they weren't the same as being there. Rain battered my double-glazing as friends and acquaintances hid from the debilitating sun ready for qualifying at Willow Springs or Del Mar. Others stopped for a snack at a diner shaped like a donut. And they rode everywhere without the need for waterproofs. They thought Gore-Tex was a genre of Lone Star state slasher movies.
These 'grams were so damn insta. I'm here checking online reviews of electric blankets on argos.com, and they're there inconspicuously pulling sweaty Calvins out of their crevices. I follow people's feeds from all over the world, but nothing gets to me like those from California. I know I am afflicted with a classic case of FOMO – fear of missing out, but made ten times worse because California has no lull. Virtually everywhere else has a riding, or driving, season, then a forced period of contemplation, regrouping and planning. So my friends in Japan, Copenhagen or Vancouver were having fun now, but they had a winter on the horizon, just like I did. An army of unpaid PR people were reminding me, every damn 15 minutes, that the Sunshine State doesn't ever pause.
And while that incessant solar assault leads to a serious drought problem, it also has a hand in creating a primordial soup out of which automotive culture continually wheel-spins.
That state, of all states, is made to enjoy vehicles in. Virtually every predilection of internally combusted perversion that forms your peccadillo, can be found there. Drawling mid-Atlantic dread-heads in outlaw Porsches; Japanese underwear models on Harley choppers; nitrous-injected sand dragsters; Chevrolet Impalas that could jump Becher's Brook. All driven, not hidden, on the be-seen scene. Additionally, so many people seem to be able to make a living out of their hobbies in this most rabid of economies.
To try to regain my rapidly evaporating Zen balance I weigh up California's pros and cons.
In the plus column is the climate. Nothing kicks automotive culture squarely between its legs more than inclement weather. If you live in a country that is forced to salt its roads you've been dealt a hand that looks like a foot. Enjoy summer, sucker. Both weeks of it. But shed-time is good time, creative time, plus dirt bikes can offer kicks in winter, so it's not all bad news.
There's also the scale of the place. California is a massive state. Turn your back to the ocean, step on the accelerator and wilderness awaits, real wilderness, break-a-leg-crashing-your-off-road-bike-and-become-a-coyote's-breakfast wilderness. They even have decent driving roads within an hour of Los Angeles' centre.
Automotive creativity, enthusiasm and optimism is evident in every nook of the world, but not in the abundance it is in Southern California. That could be because it is so populated. Everyone in the whole world wants to live in California, or most of them do, and this bipedal herd cause life-ruining congestion, smog and stress… The overwhelming motoring feel good factor could also be down to the fact that so many of the world's over-achieving gear heads continually suffer from an ever greater level of FOMO than that afflicting me, and eventually up sticks and relocate in search of their own Californian dream.
Me? I've come to the conclusion I couldn't live with being continually asked if my accent is Australian. I'll stay here, hunker down for a dank winter and fantasise about Land Rover Defenders.

Schizoid and Golf: Tee It Up! on XBLA this Wednesday
Posted 15 years ago by Jordan Devore
It's been some time since Torpex Games announced that Schizoid (800 Microsoft Points) would be heading to Xbox LIVE Arcade as the first XNA Game Studio-built game to be up for purchase through the service, but it's finally become a reality.
The focus of Schizoid is primarily that of co-op play. You and a friend will be able to take on wave after wave of enemies online and off. If you'd rather go the solo route, however, you have the option of playing with an AI-controlled partner or you can even control both ships by playing the "Uberschizoid" mode.
The second game bound for release on Wednesday is Golf: Tee It Up!, a game that's gotten very little press and looks like a budget Hot Shots Golf. That might sound kind of harsh, but that's what happens when you don't market your game, people!
Finally, I'd like to remind you all that the Halo 3 map "Cold Storage" is out today for the fabulous price of free. It's a remake of "Chill Out" from the original Halo, but you probably already knew that.
Hit the jump for the full press release.
"Schizoid," the first Xbox LIVE Arcade game developed with Microsoft's XNA Game Studio technology, and "Golf: Tee It Up!" launch on Xbox LIVE Arcade this Wednesday, July 9, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. GMT (2:00 a.m. PDT).
"Schizoid" is a fast and furiously paced action game with simple, intuitive gameplay. Billed as "the most co-op game ever," reflexes and smarts are key but sharp teamwork pays off even more! Ram your way through waves of glowing enemies: single player with an AI bot helper; or co-op multiplayer with two players offline or online through Xbox LIVE. "Schizoid" features over 120 challenging levels of mayhem that will appeal to casual and hardcore gamers alike. For the brave player, "Schizoid" offers the intense Uberschizoid game mode, in which a single player controls two different ships at the same time.
Developed by Torpex Games, "Schizoid" will be available worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB.
Pick up and play a few quick holes on your own or compete in a full 18-hole multiplayer tournament with friends in "Golf: Tee It Up!" Both beginners and experienced golfers can easily join the fun on beautiful, panoramic and challenging courses. With the unique Focus feature, you can read the green or control the ball's spin in flight to achieve amazing precision! "Golf: Tee It Up!" features zany, customizable characters and a variety of game modes including stroke, cup, or match play with local or Xbox LIVE multiplayer modes.
Developed by Housemarque and published by Activision, "Golf: Tee It Up!" will be available worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB.

Celebrating successful bids in a training scheme for engineers and scientists
The University of Leeds has been successful in its bid to host two new training centres for PhD students, in plans announced today by Universities and Science Minister, David Willetts.
The new Centres for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Bioenergy and Fluid Dynamics are part of a £350 million national scheme – the UK's largest ever investment in post graduate training in engineering and physical sciences. The funding, targeted at areas vital to economic growth, has been allocated by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
The University of Leeds will also be a partner in a further three CDTs that will be hosted by other institutions: Soft Matter and Functional Interfaces (hosted by the Durham University), Integrated Tribology (hosted by the University of Sheffield) and Nuclear Fission - Next Generation Nuclear (hosted by the University of Manchester).
Professor David Hogg, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation at the University of Leeds, said: "I am delighted by both our success in bringing two new CDTs to our University campus, and in the CDT partnerships that we have secured. Investing in the training of young researchers in engineering and physical sciences is of vital importance for the University and its industry partners."
In each of the two CDTs hosted by the University of Leeds, 10 PhD studentships will be offered per year for five consecutive years, covering a wide scope of research topics that span many of the Schools within the University.
For example, applications of fluid dynamics – the study of the flow of liquids and gases – include weather forecasting, monitoring and controlling pollution in rivers, wind power generation, combustion and mixing in engines and power stations, and the production of many consumer beauty products.
Professor Peter Jimack, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Leeds, and the lead proposer for the CDT in Fluid Dynamics, said: "We anticipate that the majority of the postgraduates from the Fluid Dynamics CDT will work in UK industry. Fluid dynamics arises across a multitude of industrial and environmental sectors, and the need for highly-skilled employees, with a broad and deep knowledge of fluid flow, is growing rapidly."
Similarly, PhD studentships offered by the Bioenergy CDT will be multidisciplinary, covering important environmental challenges, such as ensuring that bioenergy sources can be sustainably and responsibly produced, as well as addressing technological and economic barriers.
Professor Jenny Jones, from the Energy & Resources Research Institute at the University of Leeds, and the lead proposer for the CDT in Bioenergy, said: "Bioenergy is crucial for delivering affordable, sustainable and renewable energy in the UK and internationally. The trained individuals emerging from the Centre will help transform our energy sector to low carbon processes. We are looking forward to leading this exciting opportunity to work with bioenergy stakeholders in delivering world-class research and training."
Professor Peter Jimack and Professor Jenny Jones are available for interview. Please contact Sarah Reed, Press Officer, University of Leeds on 0113 34 34196 or email s.j.reed@leeds.ac.uk

Fantasy Football Week 3 Recap: Pre-Bye-Week Blitz
RealClearLife fantasy expert Aram Megerian returns for Week 3 analysis and looks ahead to Week 4.
Following Week 2, RealClearLife fantasy football expert Todd Range advised you not to panic, because things were looking up (except for David Johnson drafters, that is).
One guy who didn't share Range's sentiment? RealClearLife fantasy expert Aram Megerian, who lumped Week 2's play in with the sloppiness of Week 1. That said, he did sound cautiously optimistic about what went down during Week 3. "Football just got a little bit better this week," said Megerian, citing big performances by New England Patriots wide receiver Brandin Cooks (131 yards; two touchdowns), as well as the points-happy Thursday night game in London, during which Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles (244 yards; four TDs) and tight end Marcedes Lewis (62 yards; three TDs) put up big fantasy numbers.
While Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt continued giving owners a dose of sweetness, Chicago Bears RB Jordan Howard finally showed up. Other major bounce-backs included Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green, Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton, and even New York Giants WR Odell Beckham, Jr., despite his team's third straight loss.
Below, we circled back with Megerian on some of his main points going into draft day as they relate to Week 3 and Week 4.
Don't Waste a Quarter on a Quarterback
Despite big performances from Tom Brady (378 yards; five touchdowns) in Sunday's matchup against the Houston Texans and Blake Bortles' London showcase (244 yards; four TDs) on Thursday, Megerian still stands by his pre-draft advice that "quarterbacks are worthless." (In short, don't drop a high drafted wide receiver or tight end for a quarterback … ever.) He cites one of his own contending teams on which he's starting Miami Dolphins' Jay Cutler and has Carson Palmer on the bench. While some QB's score a ton of points, they just don't consistently rack up the type of points a receiver like the Minnesota Vikings Stefon Diggs (who had a huge fantasy showing in Week 3, with 173 yards and two TDs) or a trusty tight end like Philadelphia Eagles' Zach Ertz (who logged a decent Week 3 performance) would week in and week out. Look, if you got Brady on the cheap and were starting him this past Sunday, congratulations. But all you have to do is look at what he didn't do in Week 1 for your evidence of why his face value isn't really that high, fantasy-wise.
On the handcuffs front, it's been largely quiet—save for Hunt, if you want to even count him as one, says Megerian. For fantasy owners who thought they might be able to fish for value off the waiver wire or in late rounds with Cardinals' running back Kerwynn Williams—who was reportedly in line to replace the injured Johnson—Megerian says "he's going to be a dud." (He carried the ball for a total of three yards on Monday Night Football.) Johnson also may be back as early as Week 10 or Week 11, so his fantasy value hasn't been completely eighty-sixed. (An Andre Ellington or Chris Johnson might be the best filler before Johnson returns.) The Dallas Cowboys' Darren McFadden has been a major letdown, too, dropping a big, fat doughnut in the team's matchup against the Green Bay Packers, as well as one Monday, as he was listed as inactive (more on him below). Other RB's Megerian sees a lot of upside in include Jamaal Charles (Denver Broncos), Alvin Kamara (New Orleans Saints), Chris Carson (Seattle Seahawks), and D'Onta Foreman (Houston Texans).
When teams lose wide-receiver targets—like the New York Jets did even before Week 1 even went down—there's always a chance that one or more randos have a breakout season, because well, a quarterback has to throw the ball somewhere. One of those guys is the Jets' Jermaine Kearse, say Megerian, who the team picked up in a trade in early September. "He didn't have such a great game this last week, but I think that over the long haul, I love seven-catch, 70-yard guys," says Megerian. Another example: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee, who's seen a major bump in production following the season-ending injury to Allen Robinson. Megerian also likes Cardinals wide receiver J.J. Nelson.
Week 4 Waiver-Wire Targets
"The bye weeks start in week five, so I'm already looking at Week 5 matchups, so that I don't have to pay up to get my [starting] quarterback," says Megerian. (Just so we're all on the same page, the teams who have Week 5 byes are the Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos, New Orleans Saints, and Washington Redskins.) If you, say, have Redskins' QB Kirk Cousins, he suggests starting the Cardinals' Carson Palmer, Browns' DeShone Kizer, or Colts' Jacoby Brissett during the Week 5 bye.
Other solid waiver-wire looks include the Eagles' running backs Wendell Smallwood and Corey Clement, who will see their values rise following the potentially career-ending injuries to Darren Sproles; and the Los Angeles Chargers' Branden Oliver and Austin Ekeler, who may be getting an uptick in carries if starter Melvin Gordon, who suffered a knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, is out or can't handle his load. "The other person that is available in over 50 percent of the leagues that people should probably should stash this Wednesday if they're interested is [Dallas Cowboys running back] Alfred Morris," advises Mergerian. He will come cheap and might be worth stashing. And hey, if Ezekiel Elliott puts up another stinker like he did at Denver, Morris' stocks could be on the rise (he didn't figure into Monday night's game against the Cardinals).
Now, if you're scratching your head about Megerian's bye-week advice, it's OK: You'll remember that Week 2 expert, Range, suggested that you not ever worry about future bye weeks. First and foremost, remember that this is a game of opinions. And then listen to Megerian vehemently disagree. "I definitely don't worry about bye weeks when I draft … never. But now, it's silly, when you're not worrying about bye weeks when you're going through the season. You're trying to win games and score points. If you're trying to score points, you can't take a zero at quarterback," he advises.
Advice Going Into Week 4
Look, we didn't tell these guys to say the same thing, they just did. For the third straight week, our fantasy expert said, "Don't panic." But Megerian followed that up with "Stay true to your draft spots when you're picking your starters." What does he mean? Say you drafted Tampa Bay Buccaneers' wide receiver DeSean Jackson in the ninth round, don't start Redskins' WR Josh Doctson in his place just because Doctson caught a TD against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. "Because sooner or later [your draftees] should put up," he says. That includes players like the Jets' Bilal Powell, Raiders' Marshawn Lynch, and Texans' Lamar Miller. An exception to that rule? Saints RB Mark Ingram, who Megerian says "doesn't look right; he is definitely the odd man out, so I would stay away from starting [him]."


As announced on May 21st, proposers must prepare and submit proposals to the National Science Foundation (NSF) using the NSF FastLane system at http://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/. This approach is being taken to support efficient Grants.gov operations during this busy workload period and in response to OMB direction guidance issued March 9, 2009. NSF will continue to post information about available funding opportunities to Grants.gov FIND and will continue to collaborate with institutions who have invested in system-to-system submission functionality as their preferred proposal submission method. NSF remains committed to the long-standing goal of streamlined grants processing and plans to provide a web services interface for those institutions that want to use their existing grants management systems to directly submit proposals to NSF.
The Pan American Advanced Study Institutes (PASI) Program, is a jointly supported initiative between the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). Pan American Advanced Studies Institutes are short courses ranging in length from ten days to one month duration, involving lectures, demonstrations, research seminars and discussions at the advanced graduate and post-doctoral level. PASIs aim to disseminate advanced scientific and engineering knowledge and stimulate training and cooperation among researchers of the Americas in the mathematical, physical, and biological sciences, and in engineering fields. Whenever feasible, an interdisciplinary approach is recommended.
Indirect Cost (F&A) Limitations: No indirect costs are allowed.
Other Budgetary Limitations: Other budgetary limitations apply. Please see the full text of this solicitation for further information.
The Department of Energy and the NSF support a limited number of Pan American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) modeled on the NATO Advanced Studies Institutes. Pan American Advanced Studies Institutes are short courses of ten days to four weeks duration, at the advanced graduate and post-doctoral level. The courses should involve distinguished lecturers and active researchers in the field, preferably from the Americas. PASIs aim to disseminate advanced scientific knowledge and stimulate training and cooperation among researchers of the Americas in the mathematical, physical, and biological sciences, and in engineering fields. Whenever feasible, an interdisciplinary approach is recommended.
Approximately 6 to 8 awards will be made yearly to U.S. research institutions or professional societies for the purpose of organizing a PASI. The Principal Investigator (PI) shall be the designated contact person for the Institute and is expected to provide leadership in fully coordinating and integrating its activities. The PI is responsible for (a) the preparation of the scientific and/or engineering program, (b) provision for the selection of lecturers and students, (c) the administration of the meeting, and (d) the publication of lectures and proceedings from the meeting.
Institutes in the physical, mathematical, or biological science disciplines and/or engineering may be supported. Institutes in the biological sciences are encouraged to place a special emphasis on using modern tools in genomics and bioinformatics to explore themes in biology. Proposals for Institutes that focus on the etiology, diagnosis or treatment of physical or mental disease, abnormality, or malfunction in human beings or animals, will not be reviewed. Institutes developed around animal models of such conditions or the development or testing of drugs or other procedures for their treatment also are not eligible for support. Institutes in bioengineering, with diagnosis or treatment-related goals, however, that relate engineering principles to problems in biology and medicine while advancing engineering knowledge are eligible for support. Institutes that focus on research advances that could aid persons with disabilities also are eligible.
The PI should be assisted by a small Organizing Committee consisting of three to four lecturers from at least two other countries of the Americas and, if appropriate, from different research sectors. A local scientist or engineer from the host country should be a member of the Organizing Committee. Brief professional background summaries and descriptions of the role to be played by each member of the Organizing Committee should be provided. The rationale for the choice of topics and location must be clearly spelled out. Proposals that are of an applied nature, and especially where relevance to industry is claimed, should include a noted industrial scientist or engineer in the Organizing Committee.
The choice of PASI lecturers and students is the responsibility of the PI assisted by the PASI Organizing Committee, and the procedure for such choices should be clearly outlined in the proposal. PASI lecturers should be chosen on the basis of their scientific, engineering and training qualifications and should include scientists or engineers from at least two other countries from the Western Hemisphere. They should be contacted before submission of the proposal. An indication of their commitment to participate is necessary and will be a strong factor in judging the quality of applications. Scientists and engineers from non-Western Hemisphere countries may be selected in the event they bring expertise not available from the other countries of the Americas. For a substantive treatment of each topic, a duration of about two weeks is recommended, the minimum being ten working days.
The Institute will be aimed at the post-doctoral level, but may include advanced graduate students at the Masters or Ph.D level, and relevant scientists and engineers. PASIs should involve 8 to 12 lecturers and 30 to 50 students from the different countries in the Americas with at least half from the United States. In order to preserve balance, PASI students from any single Western Hemisphere country other than the United States should not exceed 25% of the total number supported by the award. PASI students from non-Western Hemisphere countries may be accepted under special circumstances but in no case should their number exceed 15% of the total number. Non-Western Hemisphere students may not receive financial support from the PASI grant.
Appropriate lecture, meeting rooms, telecommunication facilities, and accommodations for all participants within reasonable proximity are important in order to stimulate informal discussions during leisure periods. A site should be chosen well in advance in order to ensure availability. Preference will be given to PASIs located in a Western Hemisphere country other than the United States to provide an international experience to students from the United States.
Institute organizers may find that the organization of a PASI elicits support from other sources. In particular, host country contributions as well as contributions from corporate and other sectors are not precluded although they will not be a factor in the review process. Joint sponsorship and support are permissible and welcome provided that the meeting conforms to the prescribed format and is designated a "Pan American Advanced Study Institute."
Proposers should develop a web page to provide up-to-date information on the PASI, with specific details on the activity, including recruitment procedures, meeting topics, links to related activities, and, after its conclusion, provide links to publications, seminars, and collaborative research arising from the PASI. Plans for dissemination of results of the meeting, including lecture notes and web-related instructional materials, should be part of the proposal.
A PASI award will cover expenses for the organization of the meeting, and travel and living expenses of lecturers and students. Registration fees should not be charged PASI students. Student participants from industry will be expected to cover their own costs.
The cost for any one Institute with a reasonable number of from 30 to 50 participants, including lecturers and students, is expected to range from $70,000 to $90,000, and may not exceed $100,000, aside from contributions from other sources. The budget should include direct organizational expenses and travel and living expenses for lecturers and students. PIs should ensure that adequate costs are covered to ensure full student participation. In general, salaries will not be supported by these awards although a reasonable stipend for a graduate student to assist with the organization of the PASI pre- and post- meeting will be allowed. No indirect costs on awards will be allowed. It is anticipated and encouraged that some students will obtain support from other sources in their home countries. Any contributions for the PASI from institutions or other sources should be mentioned in the proposal.
The cost for any one Institute is expected to range from $70,000 to $90,000, and may not exceed $100,000, aside from contributions from other sources. Estimated program budget, number of awards, and average award size/duration are subject to the availability of funds.
The categories of proposers eligible to submit proposals to the National Science Foundation are identified in the Grant Proposal Guide, Chapter I, Section E.
Proposals for Institutes that focus on the etiology, diagnosis or treatment of physical or mental disease, abnormality, or malfunction in human beings or animals, will not be reviewed. Institutes developed around animal models of such conditions or the development or testing of drugs or other procedures for their treatment also are not eligible for support. Institutes in bioengineering, with diagnosis or treatment-related goals, however, that relate engineering principles to problems in biology and medicine while advancing engineering knowledge, are eligible for support. Institutes that focus on research advances that could aid persons with disabilities also are eligible.
Proposers are reminded to identify the program solicitation number (NSF 03-506) in the program solicitation block on the NSF Cover Sheet For Proposal to the National Science Foundation. Compliance with this requirement is critical to determining the relevant proposal processing guidelines. Failure to submit this information may delay processing.
Other Budgetary Limitations: The cost of any one institute may not exceed $100,000. Salaries will not be supported by these awards although a reasonable stipend for a graduate student to assist with the organization of the PASI pre- and post- meeting will be allowed. In addition, student participants from industry are expected to cover their own costs. See Program description section for more details.
In addition to these review criteria, NSF and DOE will take into consideration how the activity is organized and how it will contribute to the enhancement and improvement of scientific, engineering, and educational collaborative activities. While host country contributions as well as contributions from corporate and other sectors are not precluded, they will not be a factor in the review process.
A summary rating and accompanying narrative will be completed and signed by each reviewer. In all cases, reviews are treated as confidential documents. Verbatim copies of reviews, excluding the names of the reviewers, are sent to the Principal Investigator/Project Director by the Program Director. In addition, the proposer will receive an explanation of the decision to award or decline funding.
Proposals submitted in response to this program solicitation will be reviewed by Ad Hoc reviewers and a final panel review consisting of NSF and DOE staff.
If you have questions or issues you would like to discuss prior to preparing an application, we encourage you to telephone or send an e-mail message to the NSF staff listed above or DOE contacts Richard Kelley (301/903-6051, richard.kelley@science.doe.gov) or Don Freeburn (301/903-3156, don.freeburn@science.doe.gov).

The desk has a special stand for writing. Above the monk to the left is a window with the shutters open, showing several buildings, one of which is a tall tower, outside. There are trees amongst the buildings and a large fluffy cloud behind the tower. Inside the room, directly above the monk, are several bookshelves attached to the wall. There is some pottery on the top shelf and three rows of books, spines facing out, below. To the top right of the monk is another window with the shutters closed. The shutters appear wooden with round circles cut out of them. The walls and floors of the room are also wooden. On the floor to the right of the desk is a closed book. Below this image, surrounded by a thin white border, is a white rectangle with capitalized, black, serif font printed in it. The words are separated by centered black dots. Between this rectangle and the larger overall border are white, curling ribbons.
19. [Bookplate for Stanley Harrod] Sepia ink on cream paper. A sketched front of a sailboat with three large sails is at the top of the image. Ribbons swirls around the ship's sails as if in the wind. The sailboat is emerging from a cloud-like section that extends out into other images. A rounded horizontal oval shape with large, round extensions at the top left and top right corners surround the other image. There is a thick, round border surrounding the shape. On the left side, a naked woman is leaning backwards onto a mythical creature with a human-like fish head and a coiling snake body. The creature is lying on the border, with wide eyes looking at the back of the woman. The woman was long hair in a ponytail and is looking downwards.

Tim Giago: The medicine of Michael Haney
I want to start my first column of 2008 the way I ended in 2007; I want to start the year by talking about mascots and how offensive they can be to 90 percent of the indigenous population of America.
I have been writing a weekly column since 1978. Every week for 30 years I have sat down at a typewriter, and now a computer, to put my opinions, opinions garnered from the many conversations I have had with Native Americans over all of these years, on pages that I hope reflect those views, views that are often alien to those of the majority of Americans.
Thirty years ago, when I wrote about the abuse of Indian children in the mission boarding schools, the majority of white Americans did not want to hear about it. That was long before the abuse of white children by Catholic priests started to make the headlines. And even after those horrific happenings were made public, white America still didn't want to hear about the very same crimes of sexual, psychological and cultural abuse of Indian children. No one, except the Indian people themselves, gave a damn. Instead I was castigated by the Catholic Church, lied about by the priests at the very Indian mission school I attended for nearly 11 years, and my weekly column was dropped from a local daily newspaper by the editor who accused me of "Catholic bashing."
It is no comfort to me, now that everything I wrote about turned out to be the truth I knew it to be, to say I told you so because the wounds of those many years of abuse have not healed and the Indian children, now adults, that suffered this abuse have not been compensated for the horrors they suffered at the hands of the Catholic priests, brothers and sisters.
Ironically, when I was a student at the Holy Rosary Indian Mission many years ago, we held a contest to pick a mascot for our sports teams. I won the contest by picking the name "Crusaders." I say it is ironic in that I would end up many years not only writing about mascots, but the word "Crusaders" itself would turn out to have a far different meaning to the people of Islam. My reward for winning that contest was five silver dollars. Now I feel like a Judas for having accepted it.
People of many Indian nations in America place a strong belief in 'medicine." Not as much as in the medicinal sense, but in the spiritual sense. There is good medicine and bad medicine. There are those who say that bad medicine was placed upon them by an enemy and they must have a ceremony to remove it. Now don't laugh because these are powerful beliefs and are often based on reality. If a Mike Huckabee does not believe in evolution and he happens to be a Baptist minister, what does that say about reality?
On Saturday, in a professional football game in Seattle, there was powerful medicine on the field. The Washington "R-words," believed that their recently murdered teammate, Sean Taylor, a defensive back, was on the field with them. Washington running back Clinton Portis said he knew Taylor was with them in spirit on the field.
There was another spirit on that field. In 2005, just before his death, that gentle giant Seminole Indian, Michael Haney, held a ceremony to place bad medicine on the Washington football team, and on any other sporting team that used Native Americans as mascots. That included the Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Chiefs, Florida State Seminoles (Michael hated that fact that he was Seminole and the Florida Seminole tribe allowed Florida State to desecrate his people) and the Atlanta Braves and their hideous tomahawk chop.
As I watched the game on NBC, I was grateful that the cameras did not pan the painted and feathered white and black folks seated in the crowd. But just as sure as there is a Space Needle in Seattle, I knew that the spirit of my friend Michael Haney would prevail.
There are thousands of Native Americans that believe strongly in good and bad medicine and to them it is no joke. When my good friend and the best man at my wedding, Elijah Whirlwind Horse, a great Lakota leader, lie dying, on his deathbed he swore that it was bad medicine that was claiming his life and he said it came to him in the form of the bite of Itktomi, the spider. He believed this to the moment of his death.
Michael Haney is gone now, but his spirit is still with the many friends he accumulated in his years on this Maka Ina, Mother Earth. It has always been his prayer that someday the United States of America will grow up and recognize the fact known to 90 percent of all Native Americans that misusing us as mascots for your fun and games is racist.
The medicine of Michael Haney won out in the end in Seattle.

Een stencil is een sjabloon gemaakt van een materiaal dat inkt doorlaat en waarmee afdrukken kunnen worden gemaakt (stencilen of soms stencileren). De stenciltechniek is een vorm van doordruk. Deze techniek is thans verdrongen door fotokopiëren en printen. Een afdruk van een stencil wordt ook vaak stencil genoemd. Zelfs als de afdruk met een modernere techniek is gemaakt (fotokopiëren of printen), wordt vaak nog stencil gezegd.

Techniek

Een moedervel (master) bestaat uit een laag was op een dunne sterkere, doorlaatbare laag. Door het verwijderen van de was ontstaan plekken waar inkt kan worden doorgelaten. Het weghalen van de was kan gebeuren met een schrijfmachine (zonder inktlint) of met een harde stift. Fouten kunnen worden gecorrigeerd met een roze correctielak, correctine genaamd, die een beetje lijkt op nagellak. Ook kan was met een brandtechniek worden verwijderd. Het origineel wordt dan optisch gelezen en door middel van een vonk weggebrand op de master. Hierbij ontstaat ozon. Bij moderne digitale machines gebeurt het inbranden in de machine; ook is het bij deze machines mogelijk om direct vanuit een computer een master te maken. Dit werd (of wordt) toegepast omdat dit vanaf een bepaalde oplage goedkoper was/is dan zonder meer fotokopiëren.

Het moedervel wordt op een trommel gespannen waar inktrollen in zitten. Elke keer dat de trommel ronddraait wordt er een afdruk op papier gemaakt. Machinaal kunnen zo gemakkelijk duizenden afdrukken van een stencil worden gemaakt met een snelheid van 60 tot wel 240 per minuut.

Geschiedenis
Deze techniek was in zwang totdat fotokopiëren een toegankelijkere, schonere manier van reproduceren werd. De overgang gebeurde eind jaren 70 van de 20e eeuw. Nog steeds wordt het woord vaak gebruikt voor het aanduiden van het product van het stencilproces: een pamflet of vlugschrift, ook als dit niet door de specifieke, hierboven beschreven techniek, tot stand was gekomen. Het gebruik ervan bij volksopstanden ligt voor de hand; veel mensen beweren dat het wijdverspreide gebruik van stencils tijdens de Parijse revolte van 1968 is begonnen. Deze techniek kreeg derhalve ook tegenstand bij de elite en werd spottend de stencilcultuur genoemd.

De stenciltechniek werd door de communisten vanaf eind 1940 gebruikt om hun bladen als De Waarheid, De Vonk of Het Noorderlicht te vermenigvuldigen. Dit had twee voordelen, namelijk een stencilmachine kon in een woonhuis geplaatst worden en de politie en Sicherheitsdienst konden de kleine afwijkingen in de afgedrukte letters niet herleiden tot een drukkerij, maar moesten die herleiden tot een specifieke typemachine, waarvan er veel meer in omloop waren. Ook andere verzetsgroepen maakten regelmatig gebruik van stencilmachines.

In de jaren 1910 en 1920 gebruikten Parijse modetijdschriften het stencil-procedé (de 'pochoir techniek') om machinaal-ingekleurde modeprenten te fabriceren. Het Rijksmuseum Amsterdam bezit series van deze prenten, onder andere uit de tijdschriften Très Parisien (ca. 1925) en Gazette du Bon Ton (1912-1925).

Sinds de opkomst van desktoppublishing worden stencilmachines minder en minder gebruikt. Sommige drukkerijen en instellingen gebruiken deze machines echter nog steeds, omdat bij kleine oplagen, en zeker bij kleurdruk, de techniek goedkoper is dan kopiëren of drukken. Ook kunnen artistieke overwegingen meespelen om deze techniek te blijven gebruiken.

Stenciltechniek in graffiti

In tegenwoordig (internationaal) algemener gebruik wordt het woord stencil vooral gebruikt voor in de straatkunst gebruikte druktechnieken waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van vaak handgesneden sjablonen.

Ook onder graffitikunstenaars zijn stencils zeer populair. Omdat ze zeer snel aangebracht kunnen worden en vele malen kunnen worden herhaald, zijn ze een geliefkoosde manier om (onder andere) propagandistische boodschappen over te brengen. Tegenwoordig is Melbourne het "stencil-mekka", (met artiesten als Rone, HaHa, Meggs, Sync en anderen).

Bekende stencilartiesten zijn:

 Banksy (VK)
 Blek le Rat (Frankrijk)
 Fremantle (Frankrijk)
 Hugo Kaagman (Nederland)
 Logan Hicks (VS)
 Peat Wollegear (VS)
 Rone (Australië)
 Sixten (Zweden)
