Der Internationale Arbeiterkongress fand zwischen dem 14. und 21. Juli 1889 in Paris statt. Auf ihm wurde unter anderem die Zweite Internationale gegründet. Auch die Feiern zum Ersten Mai gehen auf den Kongress zurück.

Vorgeschichte
Die Erste Internationale hatte sich 1876 aufgelöst. Vor dem Hintergrund einer wachsenden sozialistischen Bewegung aus Parteien und Gewerkschaften sowie großen Streikbewegungen wie dem Haymarket Riot in Chicago, dem Dockarbeiterstreik in England und dem Bergarbeiterstreik von 1889 im Ruhrgebiet verstärkte sich der Wunsch nach einer Erneuerung der grenzüberschreitenden Zusammenarbeit. Einige Abgesandte von europäischen sozialistischen Parteien beschlossen am 28. Februar 1889 in Den Haag die Einberufung eines internationalen Arbeiterkongresses für Juli desselben Jahres in Paris. Traditionsbewusst wurde der Beginn des Kongresses auf den 14. Juli 1889 festgelegt, das hundertjährige Jubiläum des Sturms auf die Bastille.

Im Vorfeld kam es zum Streit zwischen verschiedenen Strömungen. Eine insbesondere in Frankreich starke Gruppe der Possibilisten, die lediglich eine auf den ökonomischen Streit ausgerichtete Arbeiterbewegung befürwortete, sowie die englischen Trade Unions spalteten sich von dem sozialistischen Kongress ab. Daher fanden in Paris parallel zwei Veranstaltungen mit derselben Tagesordnung statt.

Kongressbeginn
An dem sozialistischen Kongress nahmen etwa 400 Delegierte aus 20 Ländern teil. Neben den Vertreten der europäischen sozialistischen Parteien kamen Delegierte auch aus Russland, den USA, Argentinien und sogar Ägypten. Aus dem Deutschen Kaiserreich nahmen 81 Delegierte teil. Unter ihnen waren Eduard Bernstein, Clara Zetkin, Carl Legien und Georg von Vollmar. Leiter der deutschen Delegation waren August Bebel und Wilhelm Liebknecht. Obwohl Friedrich Engels an der Vorbereitung stark beteiligt war, blieb er der Versammlung fern, um sich wieder der Herausgabe des dritten Bandes des Kapitals von Karl Marx zu widmen. Eröffnet wurde der Kongress von Paul Lafargue, dem Schwiegersohn von Karl Marx. Vorsitzende wurden Wilhelm Liebknecht und Édouard Vaillant, ein Veteran der Pariser Kommune (1871).

Tagesordnung
 Lage der Arbeiter und die sozialistische Bewegung in den verschiedenen Ländern (Berichterstatter: u. a. Victor Adler, August Bebel)
 Abschaffung der stehenden Heere und die allgemeine Volksbewaffnung (Berichterstatter: Edourd Vaillant u. a.);
 Mittel und Wege, um die Forderungen des Arbeitsschutzes zu verwirklichen (Berichterstatter u. a. August Bebel)
 Internationale Kundgebung zum 1. Mai 1890 (Antrag von Raymond Felix Lavigne).

Verhandlungen
August Bebel wies in seinem längeren Bericht über die deutsche Arbeiterbewegung die in der Partei teilweise geäußerte Kritik an den Gewerkschaften als Gefahr für die sozialistische Bewegung zurück. Er meinte, nur durch das Eintreten für praktische Maßregeln zur Verbesserung der Arbeits- und Lebensbedingungen könne bei der Masse der Arbeiter das Klassenbewusstsein geweckt werden. Der Abgesandte der Bergarbeiter aus der Provinz Westfalen Dieckmann berichtete über den großen Bergarbeiterstreik im Ruhrgebiet.

Der Kongress grenzte die sozialistische Bewegung vom Anarchismus ab. Man plädierte für die Stärkung der sozialistischen Parteien, mit dem Ziel, die politische Macht zu erringen. Die stehenden Heere sollten zu Gunsten der "Volksbewaffnung", also eines Milizsystems nach dem Vorbild der Schweiz, abgeschafft werden. Der Frieden unter den Völkern wurde als eine zentrale Bedingung der Arbeiterbewegung angesehen.

Im Zentrum stand die Forderung nach dem Achtstundentag. Der Kongress nahm einen Antrag an zur Abhaltung von in allen Ländern am gleichen Tag stattfindenden Kundgebungen zur Durchsetzung des Achtstundentages. Eine entsprechende Aktion wurde vom Amerikanischen Arbeiterbund zum Gedenken an die Opfer des Massakers auf dem Haymarket von Chicago für den 1. Mai 1890 bereits geplant. Dieses Datum übernahm der Kongress für die gesamte internationale Bewegung.

Außerdem forderten die Delegierten eine internationale Regelung des Arbeitsschutzes und der Frauen- und Kinderarbeit. Arbeit von Kindern unter 14 Jahren sollte ebenso verboten werden wie die Nachtarbeit von Frauen. Desgleichen forderte der Kongress eine zusammenhängende Ruhezeit von mindestens 36 Stunden pro Woche. Außerdem plädierte er für einen staatlichen Arbeitsschutz.

Clara Zetkin hielt eine Ansprache über die Lage der Arbeiterinnen. Diese wurde von Eleanor Marx für die englischsprachigen Delegierten übersetzt. Der Kongress beschloss, die Arbeiterinnen als "gleichberechtigte Mitkämpferinnen" anzusehen, und forderte gleichen Lohn für gleiche Arbeit. Emma Ihrer plädierte für eine stärkere Organisation der Arbeiterinnen.

Am 20. Juli 1889 wurde der Kongress feierlich geschlossen und die Delegierten legten am nächsten Tag einen Kranz zum Gedenken an die Toten der Pariser Kommune von 1871 nieder.

If you own a fleet of cars for your business, it is very important you have them properly insured. The right commercial auto insurance policy will have you and your business covered should something happen involving one of your vehicles.
When it comes to commercial auto insurance, many businesses are unsure whether or not it is something they will need. Most businesses already have personal auto insurance, and feel there is no need for commercial auto insurance. This, however, is completely false. The average personal auto insurance policy will not cover business usage. As a business, you will typically need more inclusive coverage than an individual policy can provide. A commercial auto insurance policy from Quote Guy will provide you with that coverage.

These conversations were designed to encourage self-reflection and analysis of things we may take for granted. This creates the possibility for new ways of thinking, resolving and interpreting situations, problems and ideas.
Collaboration has been a key part of the iGEM experience for the University of Edinburgh team.
While some of these conversations seemed arbitrary at the time, we continued to encourage ourselves to question our perceptions of themselves and the people and their environment.
These diagrams give an idea of what was talked about during the many conversations we had amongst each other. They achieve a number of things. Firstly, they help those of us focusing on human practices to get to know the team we're in, as well as allowing everyone to get to know each other. This has been a surprisingly open and honest group of people. Everyone gets a say and, while there are some stronger personalities, there has been no need for a clear-cut leader. Secondly, the team gets to assess how they see themselves from individual and disciplinary points of view. By bringing these things into the open people are more likely to ponder on them later which reinforces the awareness of what's needed for a multidisciplinary and multicultural team to work well together. This should put them in good stead in later endeavours.

Download "Population Sense and Nonsense By Nicholas Eberstadt Posted: Sunday, September 1, 2002"
6 rates of adult female illiteracy (42 percent vs. 43 percent), yet Tunisia's fertility level is put at just over replacement (2.2) while Rwanda's is almost three times higher (6.2). And although Bangladesh's female illiteracy rate is still placed at over 70 percent, the country's fertility level is said to have fallen by almost half between 1980 and Iran's total fertility rate is said to have plummeted by a remarkable 60 percent--from 6.7 to 2.7--over those same eighteen years. But presumably the Iranian revolution is not what proponents of "population stabilization" have in mind in arguing that the intellectual and social empowerment of women lead to smaller families. Infant mortality provides scarcely more information about fertility change. By the UN Population Division's projections, for example, Jordan's infant mortality rate was about the same as Thailand's in the early 1990s--but where Thailand's fertility level at that time was below replacement, Jordan's was above five births per woman per lifetime. Such examples can be multiplied. The onset of sustained fertility decline in France took place during a period ( ) when the country suffered an estimated average of almost 200 infant deaths for every 1,000 births. No country in the contemporary world suffers from such a brutally high infant mortality rate--yet a number of countries with considerably lower infant mortality rates than prevailed in Napoleonic France have yet to enter into fertility decline. As for the relationship between fertility and the availability of modern contraceptives (or national programs to subsidize or encourage their use), inconvenient facts must once again be faced. The utilization rates for modern contraceptive methods are not a reliable indicator of a society's fertility level. In the early 1990s, among married women ages fifteen to forty-nine, Zimbabwe's rate of modern contraceptive use was three times as high as Romania's (42 percent vs. 14 percent)--yet Romania's estimated total fertility rate was about 1.4 whereas Zimbabwe's was about 4.1. Syria's rate of modern contraceptive prevalence was likewise higher than Lithuania's (29 percent vs. 22 percent--yet Syria's total fertility rate was three times the Lithuanian level (4.6 vs. 1.5). Further such examples abound. What is more, the independent influence of national population programs on national birth rates appears to be much more limited than enthusiasts are willing to recognize. A comparison of Mexico and Brazil, Latin America's two most populous countries, illustrates the point. Since 1974, the Mexican government has sponsored a national family planning program expressly committed to reducing the country's rate of population growth. Brazil, by contrast, has never implemented a national family planning program. In the quarter century after the introduction of Mexico's national population program, Mexican fertility levels fell by an estimated 56 percent. In Brazil, during the same period, fertility is estimated to have declined by 54 percent--an almost identical proportion. And despite the absence of a national family planning program, Brazil's fertility levels today remain lower than Mexico's. In the final analysis, the single best predictor of fertility levels turns out to be desired fertility levels--the number of children that women say they would like to have. Perhaps this should not be surprising: Parents tend to have strong opinions about important matters pertaining to their family; parents tend to act on the basis of those opinions; and even in the Third World, parents do not believe that babies are found under cabbages. The primacy of desired fertility explains why birth rates can be higher in regions where contraceptive utilization rates are also higher: For it is parents, not pills, that make the final choice about family size. For advocates of "stabilizing world population," the predominance of parental preferences in determining birth rates creates an awkward dilemma. If parental preferences really rule, and a government sets official population targets for a voluntary family planning program, those targets are not likely to be met.
7 Indeed, if parents are permitted to pursue the family size they choose, national population programs can only meet their targets by complete and utter chance. On the other hand, if a government sets population targets and wishes to stand a reasonable chance of achieving them, the mischievous independence of parental preferences means that voluntary population programs cannot be relied upon. If states, rather than parents, are to determine a society's preferred childbearing patterns, governments must be able to force parents to adhere to the officially approved parameters. (China's draconian enforcement of a one-child policy--through forced abortions, sterilizations, and infanticide--is only the most notorious example of a government's following through to its conclusion the inescapable logic of the "population stabilization" dogma.) Whether they recognize it or not, advocates of anti-natal population programs must make a fateful choice. They must opt for voluntarism, in which case their population targets will be meaningless. Or they must embrace coercive measures. There is no third way. Optimism on Population Growth Fortunately for our troubled planet, humanity's demographic and development prospects have been seriously misconstrued by the pessimistic doctrine of "world population stabilization." While the prevalence of poverty across the globe is unacceptably great today--and will continue to be so in the future (after all, what level of poverty should be acceptable?--humanity has enjoyed unprecedented and extraordinary improvements in material living standards over the past century, and over the past few decades in particular. Those improvements are represented in the worldwide increases in life expectancy and per capita income levels that we have already reviewed. The tremendous and continuing spread of health and prosperity around the planet betokens a powerful and historically novel dynamic that anti-natalists today only dimly apprehend. This is the shift on a global scale from the reliance on "natural resources" to the reliance on "human resources" as fuel for economic growth. The worldwide surge in health levels has not been an isolated phenomenon. To the contrary: It has been accompanied by, and is inextricably linked to, pervasive and dramatic (albeit highly uneven) increases in nutrition levels, literacy levels, and levels of general educational attainment. These interlocked trends point to a profound and continuing worldwide augmentation of what some have called "human capital" and others term "human resources"--the human potential to generate a prosperity based upon knowledge, skills, organization, and other innately human capabilities. In a physical sense, the natural resources of the planet are clearly finite and therefore limited. But the planet is now experiencing a monumental expansion of human resources. And unlike natural resources, human resources are in practice renewable and in theory inexhaustible--indeed, it is not at all evident that there are any "natural" limits to the buildup of such potentially productive human-based capabilities. It is in ignoring these very human resources that so many contemporary surveyors of the global prospect have so signally misjudged the demographic and environmental constraints upon development today-- and equally misjudged the possibilities for tomorrow.


Sapporo, Japan, October 2, 2018 – Captain Zhu Ting led China to victory in a tough match against a resilient Canada team in the FIVB Women's World Championship on Tuesday. China won 3-0 (25-21, 25-21, 25-13) in the final match on the third day of action at Hokkaido Prefectural Sports Center.
Zhu was the top scorer for China with 14 points, but it was no one-woman show. Yuan Xinyue added 10 points and Gong Xiangyu nine. Kiera Van Ryk was the only Canadian to get into double figures, with Emily Maglio scoring nine points.
China had the edge in blocking points (10-8), service points (6-4) and errors (10-19), and were dominant in sets (27-6), reflecting a strong performance from setter Ding Xia.
The two teams had met once before in the World Championship and three times in other world-level championships with China winning 3-0 each time. China (3-0) have won all of their matches in straight sets in this year's championship. Canada have lost their first three matches 3-0.
On paper, this should have been a mismatch. Canada had lost 3-0 to Turkey who had lost 3-0 to China. Canada are ranked 19th in the world; China are No. 1 and the Olympic champions. But Canada took the lead early on and looked very much like they wanted to keep it. China, of course, had other ideas, but Canada were showing they weren't going to be pushovers. China went ahead for the first time at 7-6 thanks to a lucky serve off the net cord, but Canada drew level again at 8-8 on a stupendous service ace by Van Ryk. After that, the lead kept swapping hands. Van Ryk and Maglio were at the heart of Canada's attack and defence, while Liu Xiaotong contributed a couple of good hits for China, but Canada hurt themselves with errors, including two poor serves. A bomb by Zhu was followed by two blocks from Yan Ni to make the score 23-21 before Liu ended the set with a spike and a great block on Van Ryk.
If Canada showed resilience, determination and fight in the first set, they doubled down in the second. Not only did they not give up, they forced China to fight for every point. China setter Ding Xia was in fine form and two lightning quick sets for Yan Ni and Yuan Xinyue helped China to an 8-4 lead at the first technical timeout. Autumn Bailey and Maglio helped Canada turn things around midway through the set and a block by Van Ryk on Liu put Canada ahead for the first time in the set at 14-13. Zhu and Li Yingying, China's youngest player at 18, started slamming balls down to keep China in the game and the Olympic champions regained the lead when Yuan blocked Brianna Beamish superbly to make it 19-18. A bomb by Zhu, an ace by Li and a block by Yuan gave China a four-point breathing space at 22-18. A key and lengthy challenge overturned a Canada point to make it 23-19 and that took the wind out of Canada's sails. Two errors ended the set.
The third set was a bit of an anti-climax as Canada ran out of steam. Substitute Shainah Joseph offered some resistance but Gong Xiangyu responded with some big shots. A service ace by Zhu brought up matchpoint and Hu Mingyuan's block on Beamish ended the match.

The book had been checked out once, in 1917. These points of contact with Lincoln's words—from me to the lone reader to Lincoln himself—ignited my need to capture here the passage of his farewell through time."

Police station siege in India leaves 10 people dead
Police believe the three attackers came from Indian-administered Kashmir, but some officials have suggested they may have crossed over from Pakistan.
By Fred Lambert
DINANAGAR, India, July 28 (UPI) -- At least 10 people were killed Monday after gunmen entered a police station in India's Punjab state and engaged officers in a firefight.
The attack occurred in the town of Dinanagar, in the Gurdaspur district.
Authorities say the dead include a senior police officer, three home guard personnel, three civilians and the three attackers, who wore military fatigues and were armed with automatic weapons and Chinese-made hand grenades.
The attackers are reported to have entered the police station after hijacking a car and opening fire at a bus station. Police killed the gunmen after an 11-hour siege.
"The operation to flush out attackers is over," Gurdaspur Police Chief Salwinder Singh told the BBC. "All three attackers have been killed."
Police found five improvised explosive devices at a railroad track in the district, as well as a night-vision device, according to The Times of India.
Police and locals believe the attackers came from Indian administered Kashmir, but some have suggested they may have slipped over the border from Pakistan.
The BBC quoted Jitendra Singh, India's junior minister for home affairs, as saying there had been "earlier reports of cross-border infiltration [in Gurdaspur] and Pakistani mischief in the area."
GPS devices found on the dead attackers revealed they had appeared to enter India from the direction of the Shakargarh border area of Pakistan.
The incident comes after officials from India and Pakistan met earlier this month to discuss methods of stopping terrorism in and between their countries.
Pakistan's foreign ministry condemned Monday's attack and reiterated its opposition to "terrorism in all its forms and manifestations."
"We extend heartfelt sympathies and condolences to the government and people of India," the BBC quoted it as saying in a statement.

Here's the rendering for eye-popping skyscraper planned at Pershing Square
Get a look at the suspended pools
By Jenna Chandler@jennakchandler Oct 7, 2016, 10:52am PDT
Developer Jeffrey Fish released this morning a rendering for the crazy skyscraper he wants to build at Pershing Square, right next to the building that houses popular rooftop bar and restaurant Perch.
This isn't any old skyscraper.
As the rendering shows, glass lap pools would jut out from the top half of it, so brave swimmers could splash around while looking straight down and out over LA's skyline. Among the views they might take in: a made-over Pershing Square. Theses types of floating pools are called cantilevered pools, and they have been built in homes and hotels in other cities for years, but would be making their first appearance here in Los Angeles if Fish's project goes forward.
The suspended pools would hang from condos. Fish's plan is to either fill the 5th and Hill streets skyscraper, which would rise 55 to 57 stories, with either 100 condos and 200 hotel rooms and 27,500 square feet of commercial space or just 142 condos and slightly less commercial space.
The rendering also gives us a better look at the "sky lobby," an open, communal deck area (with a traditional, non-death-defying pool) that would be level with the top of the building next-door. Floors of condos would rise from stilts above the deck. It looks like some of the condos will be offset. That, along with the dangling pools, give the building, as Urbanize LA has noted, too, a kind of Jenga-look.

Overexpression of the RieskeFeS Protein Increases Electron Transport Rates and Biomass Yield

In this study, we generated transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants overexpressing the Rieske FeS protein (PetC), a component of the cytochrome b6f (cyt b6f) complex. Increasing the levels of this protein resulted in concomitant increases in the levels of cyt f (PetA) and cyt b6 (PetB), core proteins of the cyt b6f complex. Interestingly, an increase in the levels of proteins in both the photosystem I (PSI) and PSII complexes also was seen in the Rieske FeS overexpression plants. Although the mechanisms leading to these changes remain to be identified, the transgenic plants presented here provide novel tools to explore this. Importantly, overexpression of the Rieske FeS protein resulted in substantial and significant impacts on the quantum efficiency of PSI and PSII, electron transport, biomass, and seed yield in Arabidopsis plants. These results demonstrate the potential for manipulating electron transport processes to increase crop productivity.

I have visited Okat last week. It is the place where I cut acrylic glass. They had some off-cuts from work of the others. I got half a bag of this. You cannot make me more happy!
There were circles and ovals. I was thinking for a long time, how to use them. Maybe there is a time to get back to my old idea of building 3D visions of my dreams. On each layer there will be a piece… tree, house, road. So one vision will be one layered object.
But i had one problem. How to stick it together? Epoxide? No, it will erode. So I buy two glues - hobby for everything and Slovak classic Hercules.
And then I remember the best glue of my childhood - nail polish!
So I dropped a tear of it between the glass, pressed little bit and this was the result… gorgeous!
Then I just take some coloured. It's epic awesome. Every one is different and makes different mark!
After that I looked at my table and it looked like a laboratorium. Funny, big things with nail polish : ).
So I remember, that every woman in my entourage has specific nail polishes. Some prefer pastel tones, other love dark grey, glitters, patterns and so on. So what about if I ask all the women that i know, to give me just one drop. And I will make a catalog, "medical evidence" containing all of them. I also add some little questionary about their lives.

Cooking without a Net: Wanna Buy a Scarf?
These are some of the scarves I'm going to sell at a craft fair. I told Mary I'd post them so she can grab them for a flier. I hope this works.
I'm also sending some to a friend in Austin who's going to sell them at a craft fair where she'll be selling her jewelry. I sent lighter ones there--I hope they sell.
I mostly worked on the scarves over the weekend, so I don't have much to show on WIPs. I should be able to work on Mavis's collar tonight--I'm about halfway through the ten inches.

She is joyful, wild and strong and travels through life with freedom and style. The universe is contained in her hair in magical stars.
She wears a crown of roses and thorns and only those who are willing to risk the thorns can smell the fragrance of delicious roses.
She has the biggest heart but one must agree to her boundaries and navigate her terrain to win her over. She is a beautiful law unto herself.


After paring and stoning avocado, cut it into thin eight-inch lengthwise slices, and arrange them on a salad plate so that slices overlap and radiate from center (pointed side of pear to center of plate). In between these radiating sections, place a slice of lemon and a tiny rolled sandwich, with a garnish of chicory.
To make the sandwiches, spread a very thin slice of bead, crusts removed, with butter or any sandwich paste, roll from one corner to the opposite one, producing a cone-shaped sandwich.

Loop roll performs a standard Auto Loop, but when the loop is turned off the playback position is returned to the position where it would be if it had not entered the loop (much like censor).
The Loop Roll Lengths are determined by the range selected in the Auto Loop Tab. The range of values available for loop roll are 1/32 through to 32 bars.
To activate loop roll use the keyboard shortcuts.
• control + alt + 1 through 5 for the left deck (or the active left deck when using 4 decks).
• control + alt + 6 through to 0 for the right deck (or the active left deck when using 4 decks).
(i.e the same as the Auto Loop controls with the additional 'control' key as a modifier).
You can also MIDI map individual Loop Rolls to a secondary MIDI controller by holding Alt and clicking the Loop Roll size when MIDI mapping.

Dominant Practices and Traditions of West Africa
West Africa is one of the exotic spots in Africa with its many cultures and practices; some are interesting, barbaric, inspiring or educating. 16 countries make up western Africa, and each country has a unique set of values and traditions. From dance to marriage, food to music and folktales to family values, this part of the world has been defined by its culture and tradition. The following are some of the dominant practices and traditions you can witness in West Africa:
Bride Price
A bride is not handed over to a groom without him paying her dowry and providing some traditional requirements. In some part of West Africa, the cost of "buying" a wife can be exorbitant, but this has not stopped men from marrying. Bride price is as old as Africa, an important tradition that has refused to be eliminated by civilization and religion.
If there is a part of the world where you will enjoy storytelling, it is West Africa. There are hundreds of folktales and folklore that are centered on humans and animals including insects like spiders. At the end of every story is a value or moral theme for the listeners to learn. Griots are the storytellers who often make use of traditional music in between their stories to talk about a lot of things. Often, these stories are told in the open during dusk.
The people make use of games to settle the difference, unite and have pleasure. Soccer has become the most popular game in West Africa, while there are a wide range of traditional games that the people play. There is no better way to connect with friends than games. Games like Oware cannot be missed when you visit West Africa.
The people combine their music with chanted vocals, drums, and even jazz instruments for a poly-rhythmic composition. Afrobeat is the dominant music genre that is seen in this part of Africa. The people are richly talented that there is hardly a decade that they do not flood the music world. Each country has their pattern of music and with creativity; we see a fusion of different types of genres play out in their music.
Starchy meals are mostly the choice of West Africans. However, this does not mean that you cannot eat other meals. West Africa is one of the few places on earth where you are lost on the choice to make for your meals. There are hundreds of sumptuous meals that you may not be able to resist. Talk about the legendary jollof rice that is found in Nigeria, Ghana, and Senegal or the communal meals of the different nations in western Africa, and you will understand why tourists cannot stay away from West Africa.
No matter how educated or civilized you may claim to be, the family traditions in West Africa cannot be wrapped under the table. Parents are highly regarded just as families are not neglected. Morals are highly appreciated by families that any scandal is not taken lightly by the people. Children cannot have their way in most things because it is believed that parents must make every choice for them until they are adults.

Jason Labbe wrote a very generous review of Pigafetta that appears in the current Colorado Review.
Jason infers that this is a " monotonous" situation. I could read a whole essay on this alone. So how 'bout it? To what degree are gatekeeping first book contests (and what we perceive they want) inflecting how we write?
Dorothea Lasky's Poetry Is Not a Project at the very least affirms the idea that there is pressure for younger poets to have a project and that this emphasis on project is fundamentally wrongheaded–in that we are coming to value the project, the intellectual scaffolding, as much as the poem itself.
It does seem like a project (as generated for a first book contest) can be a kind of self-imposed life-saver for poets. In that it keeps them above the water and gives them something concrete to hold onto while also drawing a tight circle around them and what they believe is fair game for their poetry to do. So what is the alternative? Forget first book contests run by academic presses? Start to value those presses whose vision is a bit more expansive–that take risks? I think so.
Either way, thanks to Jason. Check out his other review on Kate Greenstreet's case sensitive and the others linked to on his blog. They're worth your time.


Long time since an update but there's some important things going on so I wanted to get up to date.
In the weeks after my last update I continued to work on the Colour Match app for Crown. I've added various features to try to help users find the right colour better including adding in a new set of colours that need to be mixed on-demand, and then a set of colour palettes to let you browse the colours similar to the one the app has selected for you. I submitted that app last Thursday and Apple approved it around Tuesday of this week so that's now available from the app store.
I then went on holiday for two weeks! Apart from a really crap start to the holiday courtesy of US airways and a cancelled flight meaning we were 24 hours late into our destination we actually had a really good time. We started our holiday in San Francisco, eventually having 2 full days there. This was actually my fourth trip to San Francisco but my wife's first so it was nice to be able to take her around and show her some of the sights I've previously enjoyed. The first day was spent within SF doing a bit of shopping, visiting Chinatown and then over to Fisherman's Wharf to do a boat cruise under the Golden Gate bridge (a first for me actually). On the second day I hired a car (an hour spent in a queue, thanks National!) and we explored a wider area. We drove into the Presidio and I took a photo of my wife with the Yoda fountain at the Lucasfilms HQ. We then continued on to the Golden Gate bridge, we drove over and parked at the viewing spot on the other side to take a photo, we then drove back over and to Baker Beach for a few more photos. The weather wasn't really beach weather, more gray and cool, but it was still nice to see and take a few photos.
After this we went onto the Golden Gate park. I was originally looking for the Japanese Tea Garden but we ended up getting lost and ending up at the rose garden. This was nice enough to walk around so we had a look and I took some photos. From here we headed south, I was aiming to take the coast road but unfortunately I relied on the GPS too much and it took us mostly on a boring highway to our next destination - Half Moon Bay. The weather still wasn't really playing ball so we didn't spend too much time here but drove a short distance north to visit Barbara's Fish Trap. This is a great little fish restaurant that I found last year (with a WhereCamp friend John Barratt). We both had a mixed seafood selection consisting of a big selection of breaded seafood delights. In the evening we headed back into town to join the WWDC2011 European developer gathering. Unfortunately I hadn't managed to get a ticket for WWDC (but can you imagine how annoyed I would have been missing the first day due to cancelled flights?!) so it was good to be at least a little involved. I enjoyed a nice micro-brew beer and a good chat with Dave Verwer of Shiny Development and the European Apple developer liaison David Currall.
After San Francisco we flew to Detroit to see friends. This was a great relaxed time, it was good to catch up with friends and meet their new 9 month old twins! We didn't get up to much while we were there but we did go on a quick trip into Detroit to see Michigan Central Station and even drove over to pay a quick visit to Canada on the other side of the Detroit river. On our last day we made the two hour trip up to see our friend's grandparents who live on the shore of Lake Superior. They were actually on the shore of Saginaw Bay, so not the main part of the lake, but it was still huge and an impressive sight.
After Detroit we carried on to New York City. We stayed near Times Square and did all the tourist things including visiting Liberty and taking in the view from the top of the Empire State Building. There's been a few links dotted through this post but if you want to see all my photos take a look at my set of America photos over on flickr.
So, finally, week 165. Just before I went away we signed the paperwork to register a new Community Interest Company - DoES Liverpool. The idea behind DoES Liverpool is to create a space in which people can come together, can use a workshop to design and build products, can co-work on desks and ultimately can build businesses. Much of this week has been taken up with organising paperwork for the company and the bank account and finalising details of the venue. If you're interested in hearing more about DoES Liverpool then be at GeekUp on Tuesday in Leaf on Bold Street from 6:30pm to hear all the details.

Museum docent Brad Stone on a walking tour
Join NMCWM docents for a walking tour of Downtown Frederick focused on the city's role as a makeshift hospital in the final months of 1862 every Saturday and Sunday this September. The tour will take place on Sunday, September 25 at 2:00 PM. Masks are no longer required if vaccinated. Tickets are $15 and include admission to the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in addition to the walking tour. Tickets are free for Museum members, but you must still reserve your spot. Reservations will be accepted on a first come first served basis. Click below to buy your ticket today.
In September 1862, a newspaper correspondent from the Philadelphia Inquirer referred to Frederick as "one vast hospital." In the aftermath of America's bloodiest day at Antietam on September 17, 1862, over 8,000 wounded soldiers, Union and Confederate, were brought to make-shift hospital wards in Frederick's churches, schools, hotels, and private homes. From the diaries and letters of the surgeons, soldiers, and civilians who were there, this guided walking tour will explore the locations of the city's Civil War hospitals in churches, schools, and public buildings. Many of those same buildings still make up the historic district today.

Many people struggle with how to create PivotTables, or maybe they don't even know what they can do, or maybe they think that PivotTables are too difficult. However, they can provide you with tremendous results. With some basic understanding, you can master PivotTables and you and your staff can be more productive in Excel.
In this session, Microsoft certified trainer Thomas Fragale, will show you what PivotTables are, how to use them, and that they are not difficult. You will learn how to take all of your raw data and quickly turn that data into easy-to-use, flexible summary reports using PivotTables and charts. Thomas will start with the basics and built up to more complex Pivot Tables. He will then make Pivot charts, to graphically show the data. You will learn how to add sorts, filters, slicers, and timelines to create a very easy-to-use, but very powerful dashboard that can give you instant results, and allow you to slice and dice your data any which way.
You and your staff will be instantly more productive in Excel. These techniques will work cross-industry, with any type of data. You will find it easier to be clear and concise and right to the point, and you will be able to apply these techniques to your own data immediately after the session.

AAAS/Science
1200 New York Avenue NW
+1 866-434-2227 (Toll Free in the United States)
I have a theory that depends on multiple extant disciplines but does not fit into any of them so there is generally no place to present it. But I see that the upcoming AAAS meeting next February will take in in interest in interdisciplinary studies, particularly with global implications, so I take heart and offer my work. At heart the theory is a computer program that models a hypothetical epigenetic mechanism following the established rules. I present it as it relates to known disciplines, numbering them as they appear.
1). Population genetics: If one limits oneself to simple genetic processes, inbreeding depression is enigmatic since it should purge a genome of rare mutations, as deleterious recessive genes must be, faster in a small population than in a larger one.
2). Evolution: Selection is a race, so speciation must be a race. Separated populations must undergo speciation at a moderate pace during which time their chromosomes lose the ability to combine to produce fertile offspring. If that time is 2,000 generations, then in a population of over 1,000 it takes more than 2,000 generations to find itself in a zygote with its nearest kin. Since this is true of all chromosomes and all parts of chromosomes in the population, the population must die out.
3). Natural history: There is thus strong selective pressure favoring a mechanism that promotes a stable moderate sized population with fertility rising rapidly when the population falls below a balance point and falls slowly below that point. A man names Sibly and team studied 1,700 serial field counts of animals and found this pattern, calling for the mechanism to be elucidated.
4). Genealogy: A study done using the extensive Iceland genealogies demonstrated the Sibly relationship in humans with very little room within 90% limits for any other factor affecting fertility.
5). Public health: Roughly contemporary work in Denmark again showed the Sibly relationship in humans, and this time they specifically addressed the question of choice; once issues of kinship were controlled (town size and distance between birthplaces of a couple) there was no effect of education or income on family size.
6). Global statistics: Looking at UN numbers over a 50 year span that show total fertility in 5 year intervals dividing the world countries into developed, less developed and least developed, it emerges that we are all looking at declining birth rates down to below replacement; the three segments are just at different points along the came curve.
7). Captive entomology and 8). Epigenetics: A captive population of fruit flies showed that counts followed a pattern of damped oscillation that then repeated, indicating that the flies did indeed provide a laboratory model for the Sibly relationship. Furthermore, the rate of change of the fertility was far too fast for it to be DNA mutations; the mechanism had to be epigenetic.
9). The computer model: It was found that a previously developed computer model using only a post-zygotic mechanism also followed a pattern of damped oscillation. This program was later extended, but since nothing of the sort exists elsewhere I count it as a discipline of its own.
Natural history: A pattern of damped oscillation has been found in a number of studies of European vole populations.
10.) History and 11). Ancient history: A review of the survival experience of civilizations in lower Mesopotamia, regimes in Rome and among classical Mayans and Ancestral Puebloans, Egypt and dynasties in China and Japan all show chance of survival falling with age with a brick wall at about 300 years. Since outside threats should be unrelated to age of the power and inside factors should show increasing survival value by virtue of selection, the conclusion can only be that dynasties and civilization fall because of slowly accumulating infertility over about 10 generations, falling along the Sibly curve with a crisis at the end.
12). Archeology: Native American farmers in Long House Valley in the American southwest died out like the more conspicuous powers or history. They showed a dramatic notch in their population curve with two peaks the second higher than the first before collapse. The same notch is seen less dramatically in Chinese and Japanese dynasties.
13). Rodent plagues: Counts of mice in Australia, monitoring outbreaks of extreme mouse population rises show the same double peak as humans and more commonly much higher single spikes.
14). Study of gametes: Deer mouse sperm bind to kindred sperm but not to only remotely related sperm. If the same mechanism can bind a sperm to a related ovum better than to a remote ovum, the stage is set for a pre-zygotic component to the Sibly curve.
15). Behavioral science: A man named Calhoun decided to study the behavioral effects of overcrowding so he built a cage, put in four male mice and four female mice and watched for years. He was not disappointed. The population grew until there was crowding, but never sufficient to exceed food, water or nesting sites availability. The mice fought a lot. Some of the males drew off by themselves and did nothing but groom. Males lost interest in females, and this persisted even when the males were removed to less crowded circumstances. The mice selected on corner of the cage and crowded in, apparently assigning high status to nesting in that area. Tellingly, the population grew exponentially, then more slowly, then all live births stopped.
16. Mate choice: A man named Bateson contrived to have Japanese quail show their preference for members of the opposite sex. The birds preferred to take an interest in potential mates that were closely but not too closely related, just as one would expect if selection had prepared them to live under the influence of the Sibly curve.
17. National statistics: A man named Robling assembled and presented a massive amount of data for many countries over time. Among the statistics gathered were total fertility and age of first marriage for women. Following the time course of the numbers, each country, beginning with rich ones, had – each in it's own time – had a precipitous fall in birth rate which then leveled off below replacement followed by in inexorable rise in age of marriage approaching menopause. The pattern is consistent with pre-zygotic infertility, which saturates at some level and then gives way to post-zygotic infertility, closely mirroring the experience with the Calhoun mice.
18. Wild entomology: Studies of weevil infestations of newly planted Canadian forests showed populations spike, drop, tend to level off and then go extinct much as Calhoun's mice and the national statistics.
19. Reestablishing populations extinct in the wild: A program to reintroduce black footed ferrets into the wild, where they had gone extinct, appeared to be failing after multiple attempts. The attempt was suspended, but on returning the workers found that a few ferrets survived and over the next few years showed exponential growth. Evidently the workers had consistently created less than ideal kinship in the Sibly relationship, but given time to ferrets got their population down, their kinship up, and with kinship now greater than the Sibly rest point expanded explosively.
The computer model: returning to the expanded computer model I walk the listener through it for a while and then show that it can produce the damped oscillation of fruit flies and voles, the double spike and collapse of dynasties and of Australian mice and the peak with leveling off before collapse of Canadian weevils, Calhoun's mice and evidently modern rich societies.
20. Human behavioral science: it could be argued that damped oscillation is the product of Bateson cousin affinity while the double spike and extinction is the product of status seeking.
21. Pharmacology: Following the lead that epigenetics might be at the heart of the Sibly relationship and there might be pre-zygotic infertility, post-zygotic or both, I gave the captive fruit flies a diet with a toxic, non-lethal dose of folic acid to boost methylation of DNA and then slowly reduced the dose counting them the while. The response was complex, which occurs when the program runs pre-zygotic and post together but not in my experience when there is only a post-zygotic mechanism in play.
22. Toxicology: Reviewing the effect of folic acid I suspected that the concentration recommended for pregnant or potentially pregnant women might be significant. I took a few vials into which I placed their feeding formula, some controls and some fortified according to modern medical practice and found a reduced fertility over a few generations.
23. Study or religion: If a religion permits its members to cooperate with outsiders but only marry within a congregation, it might be able to seize the blessings of civilization without sacrificing needed fertility. This could maintain a large community at the Sibly rest point. If one peruses scripture, one might arguably suspect an awareness of the Sibly curve from the stories of Adam, Moses and Lot, but useable statistics would not be forthcoming. Daniel was present at the fall of one of those Mesopotamian civilizations with only a hint at the demographic cause. If a study of the clay tablets of the time, or at any time in the history of Mesopotamia when clay tablets were kept, if such a study revealed sufficiently extensive birth records, that would be of interest.
24. Study of politics: If it is argued that the world is experiencing a rise in nationalism and populism, the suggestion might be made that those who prefer such attitudes are less likely to marry outsiders and thus have a demographic advantage with a higher birth rate. In theory this could be tested statistically, but gathering statistics would be most problematic.
Conclusion: Although an argument could be made that since people, like mice, seem to be driven by status over love, we are doomed, there is likely a way out. For instance biologically prudent mating could be considered a status symbol, and might result in more loving than our present strategy. As for that pesky inbreeding, it is accounted for by the same computer program.
These assertions of course need further explanation, illustrations, graphs and references. I am putting such things into a series of YouTube talks, about 15 minutes long each and about 32 projected. So far I have posted through "13)" above with drafts through "20)." I hope to have it all done and posted within a few weeks.
If you find another theory that addresses a couple dozen disciplines and addresses an existential threat to humanity, do let me know. You may have to upgrade your format.

Sir Peter Leonard Knight  (born 12 August 1947) is a British physicist, professor of quantum optics and senior research investigator at Imperial College London, and principal of the Kavli Royal Society International Centre. He is a leading academic in the field of quantum optics and is the recipient of several major awards including the Royal Medal from the Royal Society and the Thomas Young Medal and Prize from the Institute of Physics. He is a former president of the Institute of Physics and the Optical Society of America, the first non North American-based person to take the position.

He is described as "one of the UK's most influential scientists and leaders of scientific policy" by his peers.

Academic career

Knight's work is concerned principally with theoretical quantum optics, strong field physics and especially quantum information science. He was educated at Bedford Modern School.

When Knight began his University education he attended Sussex University to read chemistry, but soon realised physics interested him more. He received his first degree and D.Phil. from Sussex University and became research associate at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Rochester and at the Physics Department and SLAC, Stanford University (US). He spent three years doing post-doctoral research in the US in the group of Joseph Eberly which gave him experience of working with "incredibly gifted people". He was then SRC research fellow at Sussex University, and later visiting scientist at the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, US.

He became Jubilee Research Fellow from 1976 to 1978 at Royal Holloway, University of London, followed by an SERC Advanced Fellowship from 1978 to 1983, first at RHC from 1978 to 1979, transferring in 1979 to Imperial College. He has remained at Imperial College ever since (apart from very frequent visits to the US), first as a lecturer 1983–1987, then reader 1987–1988 and professor since 1988. In addition, until 2010 he acted as deputy rector of Imperial College, having responsibility for the college's research.

In his capacity as a leading figure in quantum optics, Knight works on several advisory boards, including the UK Quantum Technology Initiative Strategy Advisory Board, the Photonics EPSRC Innovative Manufacturing Centre, the Winton Programme for the Physics of Sustainability in Cambridge and for several year was Chair of the Defence Scientific Advisory Council at the Ministry of Defence.

Knight has also spoken publicly about science funding in the UK, and cautioned against cuts or pauses in funding and its effect on the British economy and regularly advocates for girls in STEM subjects and women in science.

In addition to his academic work Knight was editor for more than 20 years of Journal of Modern Optics and remains editor of Contemporary Physics.

Knight is described by the Royal Society as "an influential figure within the wider UK physics community" and by Miles J. Padgett of the University of Glasgow as "one of the UK's most influential scientists and leaders of scientific policy."

Senior positions
Knight is Emeritus Professor in the department of physics at Imperial College London. From 1 October 2010, he was the principal and is now Senior Fellow in Residence of the Kavli Royal Society International Centre at Chicheley Hall. He has been a visiting professor at the University of Louvain-la-Neuve, a Humboldt Research Award holder at the University of Konstanz and a visiting scholar at the University of Texas at Austin and at the University of Rochester.

Since 1999 Knight has been a fellow of the Royal Society.

Knight was president of the Institute of Physics from 2011 to 2013; president in 2004 of the Optical Society of America, the first non North American-based person to take the position; and a fellow of the Royal Society. In addition he was a member of the council of the Royal Society. He has a seat on the European advisory board of Princeton University Press. He was elected an honorary fellow of the Institute of Physics in recognition of his "major contributions to physics through his pre-eminent research, his influential leadership roles and his service to the Institute of Physics".

Knight was Chief Scientific Advisor until his retirement to the National Physical Laboratory and is Chair of NPL's Quantum Metrology Institute.  He continues to act as an advisor to the British government.

Other awards
Knight was knighted in the Queen's 2005 Birthday Honours.

He was the recipient of the Frederic Ives Medal in 2008, and the Royal Medal in 2010.

He has received awards from the Institute of Physics including the Thomas Young Medal (1999) and the Glazebrook Medal.

Knight has received many honorary doctorates including an honorary doctorate from Heriot-Watt University in 2010, from University of Sussex in 2010, from University of Glasgow in 2015 and University of Birmingham in 2017.

In 2012 he became a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.

In 2019 he received the Herbert Walther Award for his outstanding contribution to quantum information science.

Also in 2019 Knight received the highest accolade from the Institution of Engineering and Technology, the Faraday Medal  for his 'outstanding contribution in the field of quantum engineering', acknowledging that 'His pivotal role in conceiving, designing and delivering the National Quantum Technologies Programme has put the UK quantum science and engineering at the front of the global race to establish the second information revolution.'

Notable publications
Knight is the author of several books and hundreds of academic papers. He is an ISI Highly Cited author. Publications include,
 Concepts of quantum optics (1983, 18 editions)
 Squeezed light : special issue (1987) with Rodney Loudon in Journal of Modern Optics

Q: React load json data based on route I have my following routes.jsx
import React from 'react';
import { Route, Router, IndexRoute } from 'react-router';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

import App from './index.jsx';
import Test1 from './test1.jsx';
import Test2 from './test2.jsx';
import TestWrapper from './wrapper.jsx';

import url from './url.json';

var routes = url.url.map(function(el){
   return (<Route key={el} path={el} component={Test1} />);
});

ReactDOM.render((
  <Router>
    <Route path="/" component={App} >
        {routes}
    </Route>
  </Router>
), document.getElementById('app'));

I am going to have a list of projects that will be using always the same component hence:
var routes = url.url.map(function(el){
   return (<Route key={el} path={el} component={Test1} />);
});

and a test1.jsx as follow:
import React from 'react';
import data from './data.json';

class Test1 extends React.Component {
  render () {
    return (
      <div>
        // if is route "title1" load title1
        // if is route "title2" load title2
        // if is route "title3" load title3
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default Test1;

my url.json is:
{
  "url": [
    "title1",
    "title2",
    "title3",
    "title4",
    "title5"
  ]
}

I am fairly new to react, how can I pass to "test1" content based on the url?
Ideally I will have a separate json file for the content..
Ex. if I am on localhost:8080/title1 I would like content loaded only for title1.

Winston Fisher '96 Tackles Mammoth Marathon Challenge
Wednesday, January 18, 2017, By Keith Kobland
alumnihealth and wellnessveterans
Winston Fisher '96 is proving once again that he will go to great lengths of physical endurance to support the organization founded by his family that assists military veterans known as the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. Already, Fisher has competed in a 3,000-mile cross country bike race (Race Across America) in support of the fund. On Jan. 23, he'll embark on a journey that will cover a lot of territory in the name of testing his abilities while raising money for a worthy cause.
Winston Fisher
"I enjoy the challenge," says Fisher. "The enormity is inherently what draws me to it."
Enormity is a good way to describe the athletic feat in which Fisher will take part. It's called the World Marathon Challenge. In the course of seven days, Fisher will take part, as a member of Team Extreme, in seven marathons. That means running more than 183 miles in seven days. But it doesn't stop there. Each marathon will take place on a separate continent. Basically, Fisher will spend a total of 168 hours either running or in a plane flying to the next location.
"The travel in between is probably the hardest part of this," according to Fisher. "I think it would be hard enough to run a marathon each day and then go home and sleep in my own bed. I'm not. I'm getting on a plane and sleeping on a plane. There's time zone changes. The recovery factor is hard, there's the pressurization of a plane."
Fisher competing in a recent Iron Man competition
Winston Fisher '96 competing in a recent Iron Man competition.
The first marathon (26.2 miles) takes place in Antarctica. After the race, Fisher and his fellow racers board a plane and fly to Chile. There, they run another marathon. Hop on a plane. Fly to Miami. Run another marathon. On to Spain, Morocco, Dubai and finally Sydney, Australia.
"The pain is what gives it so much satisfaction," Fisher says.
Fisher has taken part in Ironman competitions in the past, but ran his first marathon just last October. Lately he's been in training, which includes running the loop at New York's Central Park. A personal trainer has helped Fisher to increase his strength, flexibility and most importantly, stamina.
The cause that motivates Fisher was founded nearly 17 years ago. In that time, the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund has provided $120 million to support veterans of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and their families through death benefits; the construction of the Center for the Intrepid, a $55 million physical rehabilitation center at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio; and the National Intrepid Center of Excellence and the Intrepid Spirit Centers.
"We have a high success rate when it comes to treatment, rehabilitation and especially in helping veterans with traumatic brain injuries. "All the money raised goes toward building and operating the centers." says Fisher. "We're proud of that track record."
Fisher is also proud of his alma mater, and says qualities that define people who bleed orange, in part being gritty and scrappy, are strengths and qualities of success. He says his Syracuse experience in part is what gives him the strength and drive to compete in an event of this nature.
"I hear a lot from people who say, 'I couldn't do that,'" says Fisher. "Of course you could. You can do anything you want. The best thing Syracuse can have is grittiness, we need to be scrappy and gritty to succeed. You have to be able to say, 'I can do it.' You take a weakness and make it a strength. Our point is to kick butt, and that's what I intend to do."
Make a pledge to Team Extreme.

Navy Takes Delivery of Future USS Hudner
Streamers mix with falling snow during the christening of the future guided-missile destroyer USS Thomas Hudner (DDG 116) at the Bath Iron Works shipyard Saturday, April 1, 2017 in Bath, Maine. Hudner was awarded the Medal of Honor for valor during in the Korean War when he intentionally crash landed his plane in an effort to save fellow pilot Ensign Jesse Brown, the Navy's first African-American pilot. (U.S. Navy photo)
BATH, Maine — The Navy has accepted delivery of a destroyer named for a naval aviator who crash-landed his plane to try to save a downed pilot in the Korean War.
Medal of Honor recipient Thomas Hudner witnessed the christening of the ship in April 2017 at Maine's Bath Iron Works and died months later at 93 in his native Massachusetts.
During Friday's ceremony in Bath, a flag was hoisted that previously flew over Arlington National Cemetery and on the USS Constitution to honor Hudner's efforts. Hudner failed to save his comrade, Ensign Jesse Brown, but is remembered for his devotion.
A U.S. Navy frigate was named for Brown, the first African-American naval aviator, in 1973. The Hudner will join the fleet when it's commissioned into service Dec. 1 in Boston.
