Strike Three for Waivers in New Jersey!!!
Is Your Hairstyle Protected?
New Jersey Strikes Down NDAs!!!
By Francine Foner, Esq. and Ty Hyderally, Esq.
On March 18, 2019, Governor Philip D. Murphy signed into law Bill S-121 (the "Act"), which will positively impact New Jersey employees significantly by amending the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, N.J.S.A. §10:5-1 et seq. ("NJLAD") to prohibit employers from requiring their employees to prospectively waive statutory rights and remedies for claims of discrimination, retaliation or harassment.
The Act provides that, "[a] provision in any employment contract that waives any substantive or procedural right or remedy relating to a claim of discrimination, retaliation, or harassment shall be deemed against public policy and unenforceable." In addition, "[n]o right or remedy under the [NJLAD] or any other statute or case law shall be prospectively waived." (However, this provision does not apply in the context of collective bargaining agreements.)
So what does this mean? The NJLAD, which protects employees from discrimination and sexual harassment, allows for a person to file a lawsuit in state or federal court and request a jury to hear his/her claims. Employers have for years been trying to deprive New Jersey employees of access to the courts and access to juries. Thus, many employers have required, as a condition of employment or continued employment, that the employee sign a document where they would waive their rights to file lawsuits against the company in the courts and/or waive their rights to seek a jury trial. These employers often require that the employee submit their case to mandatory arbitration where the employer hopes the award would be more favorable to the employer. Employers have also required employees to waive their right to attorney's fees and costs, or to punitive damages for such claims.
However, due to this new law, such waiver provisions are invalid and unenforceable, with respect to employment claims of discrimination, retaliation or harassment.
If an employer tries to enforce such a waiver provision or retaliates against you for opposing such a waiver provision, you could have substantial rights and remedies under this new law. Such retaliation by the employer could be a legal violation which could lead to money damages, and the employer could be required to pay your reasonable attorney's fees and costs.
In addition, although the new law is an amendment to the NJLAD, the clear terms of the law reflect that it is not limited to a prohibition against prospectively waiving rights or remedies under the NJLAD. Rather, by its express terms, the Act applies to rights and remedies for claims of discrimination, retaliation or harassment "under the NJLAD, or any other statute or case law." (emphasis added). Thus, any attempt by an employer to have an employee prospectively waive rights or remedies available under other statutes governing employee retaliation, discrimination or harassment claims should also be prohibited by the Act. For example, an employer requiring an employee to waive a jury trial and compelling arbitration of claims of retaliation for whistleblowing under the Conscientious Employee Protection Act, N.J.S.A. 34:19-1 et seq. ("CEPA"), should be prohibited under the Act, since CEPA provides for the right to a jury trial.
Further, the Act provides a separate cause of action for an employee who is retaliated against for refusing to enter into any agreement or contract which waives statutory rights or remedies, relating to a claim of discrimination, retaliation, or harassment. Further, a prevailing plaintiff who brings such a claim shall be awarded reasonable attorney fees and costs.
The Act states that it takes effect immediately and applies to all contracts and agreements entered into, renewed, modified, or amended on or after the effective date. Thus, employment contracts and agreements entered into prior to the effective date would not be impacted, unless they are renewed, modified or amended thereafter.

Dutching or Dutch Betting sites have been around for quite some time now but was often considered complex to place the bets on even if you had strong betting systems. This all changed with the advent of several betting sites and Dutch bets are now quite easy to place.
So, what really are Dutch betting sites?
To be precise, it is a multiple bet covering a number of different outcomes. When it comes to horse betting ditching means that you back more than one horse as the potential race winner and the attractions are quite clear.
Even if you have some incredible racing tips for money-making there are generally several different opinions from the experts to as to which horse is going to cross the line first. A Dutch bet allows covering these and backing more than one runner. It perhaps sounds like an instant approach to profit-making, but it definitely requires a more robust and effective strategy!
Inevitably people back more than one horse but only one is going to win the race and then they have to allow for the losing bets. This can be done by backing a combination of different horses that fall within a particular of the range. The basis of the Dutch betting sites or system is nothing more than simple mathematics – basically, this is the same for any betting system out there!
Backers of the race favorites could help make bug profits but when surprising results come, which usually do, they can surely hurt your betting bank. Placing bets on various runners help ease the pain of such surprise results and make you make consistent profits.
Dutch betting sites have dutching calculators that work on some of the potentially complex calculations and turn out to be quite useful. The system being used usually relies on level stakes and does not require a ditching calculator or use of any racing tips. Make sure you opt for such Dutch betting sites or bookmakers where it is easier for you to place multiple bets and the odds turn out to be 20 percent or more than any other bookies. Eventually, they do not really care if you have won the bet or not as they earn their commission so you do not get banned for using the Dutch betting system!
The rewards of multiple bets on a site are quite obvious but do not be tempted to leap in without having a solid and robust strategy.

Q: CSS in angular project don't apply unless placed in /src directory Problem:

I have an angular app with a lot of components and sub components. These were generated by running ng generate component <component-name> so each one has the same style of component tag:
@Component({
    selector: 'app-<component-name>',
    templateUrl: './<component-name>.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./<component-name>.component.css']
})

My understanding is that all CSS related to this component should be placed in src/<component-name>/<component-name>.component.css and should be automatically applied to the component when it is rendered.
This does not seem to be the case however, as when I put certain instructions in that CSS file they are seemingly ignored. The ones that are the most notable offenders so far are things like text-align and any kind of color tag, while tags like font-family or vw/vh work just fine.
On the other hand, when I put my CSS in a file like src/styles.css and place an import in index.html for this file, any CSS I have there applies correctly but applies itself to ALL components. This wouldn't be a problem except some components necessarily share naming conventions, and I have no way to specify that I don't mean [col-id="car"] in table2.component.ts but rather [col-id="car"] in table5.component.ts.
EDIT:
Here is an example of what I'm talking about:
My current grid looks like this:

All cells in a given column share the value of the col-id tag:

My slab-grid.component.css file contains sizing instructions for the grid itself, and a font specifier:
.slab-grid {
    width: 45vw;
    height: 80vh;
    font-family: monospace;
}

I know these apply properly because if I remove the size definition, the grid becomes 1px by 1px, and if I remove the font-family, the whole grid turns back to the normal font as seen below. Column "Thk" does not change back because another grid in another part of the app has the same col-id and the overarching styles.css file contains a definition for [col-id="thk"]:

So in my understanding if I were to add the following statement to slab-grid.component.css
[col-id="yard_seq"] {
    text-align: right;
}

I expect I would see column Yard Seq which has col-id="yard_seq" become right aligned. In reality when I add this statement to slab-grid.component.css, nothing changes. If I however go to the primary css file for the project located in src/styles.css and add the same statement, I get the below result:

Question:

*

*Why does my CSS not always apply to the relevant component if placed in src/<component-name>/<component-name>.component.css?

OR

*

*Is there a way to make the elements of src/styles.css only apply to the page when certain components are rendered?

Solution:

I've found an acceptable solution to this issue. If I modify my own /src styles selectors from [col-id="thk"] to use the descendant selector .slab-grid [col-id="thk"], then I can make my styles override the conflicting ones with a !important without editing the conflicting files.

A: Every component has hes on styles if you want to share the same styles between multiple components you must create a shared CSS file and then import the file on the styles.css or much better solution add the shared CSS files on the angular.json config files.
the styles from the parent component do not apply to the child components.
only and only if you add the same styles on the styles.css or include the file on the angular.json
example
            "styles": [
              "src/styles.scss",
              "src/scss/theme.d.scss",
              "src/scss/global-scrollbar.d.scss",
              "src/scss/acrylic.scss",
              "src/scss/buttons.scss",
            ],
            "scripts": [
              "./node_modules/moment/min/moment.min.js"
            ]

The woman who made national headlines last year after flipping off President Donald Trump's motorcade from her bicycle — and lost her job at a government contracting firm as a result — is running for local office.
Juli Briskman, a Democrat and marketing executive, plans to run for the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors in northern Virginia, she told the Loudoun Times-Mirror.
The Democratic candidate told the Times-Mirror she was left with two options after she lost her job at Akira LLC and the lawsuit against her employer was dismissed: She could appeal the court decision and continue fighting "unfriendly courts" in Virginia or attempt to change laws herself.
"After lots of conversations I decided I would be more effective on the board," Briskman told the local Virginia newspaper.
Briskman will likely face off against incumbent Supervisor Suzanne M. Volpe, a Republican who represents the Algonkian District on the Loudon County Board of Supervisors and whose seat is up for grabs next year. Briskman told the Times-Mirror her campaign will focus on government transparency, school funding and responsible development, echoing earlier comments made to the Washington Post.
The 51-year-old candidate told The Post she never considered vying for public office until she was ousted from her government contracting job last fall, describing her decision to give a middle finger to Trump's motorcade as an exercise of First Amendment rights that she would "probably" do again.
"We have a right to peacefully protest and criticize and express dissent toward our government," she told the newspaper.
"I've gotten some feedback that folks say you should respect the president. Even if you don't like what they're doing, you shouldn't show this sort of disdain," Briskman added. "And I simply disagree, and I think the Constitution grants me that privilege."
Briskman has previously said she was inspired her outrage at the president for golfing as crises mount in areas like Puerto Rico and surrounding immigration.
Despite a Republican-controlled Board of Supervisors, Loudoun County often leans Democratic, The Post noted, with 55 percent of voters picking Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016. Democrats are hopeful they can turn the Board of Supervisors blue in 2019 county elections.
Trump often rolls through Briskman's section of Loudon to visit his Trump National Golf Club. Briskman and a group of Democrats usually stage impromptu demonstrations outside the resort with signs and baby Trump balloons, according to The Post.
"If he's coming to my neighborhood," she said, "I think he should see some resistance."

Activist Bree Newsome On "Tearing Hatred From The Sky" And The Fight For Sustainable Social Justice Movements
Bree Newsome climbed the flagpole outside the Columbia, S.C. statehouse to remove the Confederate flag on June 27, 2015.Bree Newsome -- the activist who brought down the Confederate flag flying outside the Columbia, S.C. capitol building in 2015 -- shared a few harrowing details of that June day with a Cleveland audience rapt at attention."A supervisor came over and directed the two officers at the bottom to tase me," she recounted for a hushed crowd of more than 150 at John Carroll University.

REVIEW: Paul Beatty's "The Sellout" Deserves The Man Booker Prize And Then Some
Paul Beatty's "The Sellout" took home the Man Booker Prize for 2016, making him the first U.S. author to win the British award. The satirical novel, whose plot kicks off from an absurd trial that puts resegregation and slavery before the Supreme Court, was a unanimous choice for the judges. Historian Amanda Foreman, jury chair of the prize, called Beatty's work "a novel for our times." "The Sellout is one of those very rare books: which is able to take satire, which is a very difficult subject and not always done well, and plunges it into the heart of contemporary American society with a savage wit of the kind I haven't seen since Swift or Twain," Foreman said. "It manages to eviscerate every social taboo and politically correct nuance, every sacred cow. While making us... Read More →

A Reflection On Growing Up In The Gay Revolution
by Lisa Nielson, Anisfield-Wolf SAGES Fellow at Case Western Reserve University.I was taking an internet break from my pile of books in the National Library of Jerusalem this summer when a news article caught my eye. It reported the Jerusalem Pride Parade was going to kick off in about four hours -- at 6 p.m. July 21, 2016 -- in a park not far from where I was living. A year earlier, an ultra-orthodox fanatic stabbed six people at the march. One of the victims, Shira Banki, was 16 when she died. This time, the police were taking no chances. They blocked streets so participants could only join from certain points; they kept counter-protesters off the parade route and they prevented the family of the young girl's killer from coming to Jerusalem.Participants at the Jerusalem Pride Parade...

ALL of Copeland's bathing waters have been declared clean by the Environment Agency - and two have reached the very highest standards of cleanliness.
St Bees and Silecroft, both well-visited beauty spots, are among just 11 to reach the 'excellent' standard of of 31 bathing waters in the north west.
Copeland's portfolio holder for environmental health, Coun Allan Holliday, said: "This is great news. Unsurprisingly we have a lot of locals and tourists visiting these beautiful beaches. It's great that they can be confident the waters are clean and suitable for a bracing walk or a paddle and picnic with the family.
"Rural areas are particularly vulnerable due to farm and animal products being washed down to the sea, and this year has been very rainy. We have worked hard with our partners to achieve these benchmarks, and the public have played their part too. I'd like to thank everyone who has bagged dog poo, put cooking fats in the bin (not down the drain) or disposed of wipes properly. This all helps."
Copeland's stunning coastline includes four amenity beaches, where the water must meet certain standards to allow swimming. These beaches may have other facilities and undergo seasonal cleaning.
Copeland Council is part of the Turning Tides Partnership, along with the Environment Agency, United Utilities and other north west local authorities. The partnership ensures effective co-ordination of improvement works and runs the 'LOVEmyBEACH' campaign to help the public contribute to clean beaches and bathing waters.

Apple given relaxation in sourcing for 3 years only: Government
Apple has only been given a "breather" for the first three years by providing relaxation to it in local sourcing norms and the compulsory 30% local sourcing clause has not been completely dispensed with, government today informed Rajya Sabha.PTI | July 28, 2016, 09:21 IST
NEW DELHI: Apple has only been given a "breather" for the first three years by providing relaxation to it in local sourcing norms and the compulsory 30% local sourcing clause has not been completely dispensed with, government today informed Rajya Sabha.
"We have just given a relaxation that in the first three years, if local sourcing for their retail outlet is becoming difficult, the first three years will be exempted. But the average that we calculate for the local sourcing requirement will be applicable after that for five years.
"So, it is not that as if we have completely dispensed with that clause. We have only said that give a breather for the first three years. We may do it afterwards," commerce minister Nirmala Sitharaman said.
Replying to member's question, she said, "let me put it on record here that I have approached Apple to explain what we have done as a policy change or tweaking. We have not yet had any response from the Apple. So, there is nothing that we have approved."
Providing details, she said the average that we calculate for the local sourcing requirement will be applicable after that for five years.
"As regards the local sourcing requirement, the Apple has not even come back to us to get approved anything. What we have just said is, we just provided a relaxation," she said.
Government recently issued new norms allowing single-brand retail trading and exemption from local sourcing for 'state-of-the-art' and "cutting edge" technology with a waiver for three years, and the option to extend it for five years.
Apple may have to submit a fresh application for the same.
Apple CEO Tim Cook had visited India and met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and expressed the company's desire to set up plant here.
Cook today said the tech giant is "looking forward" to setting up retail stores in India to tap into the booming smartphone market here.

The most important aspect of any weight loss program is having an organized plan to follow, so I am attempting to put one together here, for myself and anyone else that might be interested. I need to know how to continue after the first week. Men get some additional servings of the smart fuel and carbs, plus an additional dessert, which why their plan costs more. Hi Suzanne, We are sorry that you had such a poor experience with us. Tomorrow is my last day on turbo take off. On the other hand, you may prefer having full control of the food you will be eating when on Nutrisystem, which is exactly why they created the Custom Plan.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I love your article, but I'm not seeing the Free Food List that you've mentioned several times. I must have overlooked it. Can you tell me where it is, please? In the section just above the blue book explaining how NutriSystem works. You will find links to various resources, including the one you mentioned, read the section and you'll see it. If you continue to have trouble, let me know. I'm glad you enjoyed the article!
Any vegetable juice that does not have a lot of added sugar, corn syrup, etc. In fact you may want to learn to juice or liquefy your own vegetables using a juicer or NutriBullet or Ninja.
I don't eat dairy other than yogurt which I'm including in my meal paln; is there a dairy substitute when it calls for 1 dairy? The only option that comes to mind right now is soy yogurt. I drink almond milk as well If you're a man, it might make you fart. My body is not used to this so as a woman I got the windy pops Women don't fart.
I did weight myself at the beginning and after 7 days rather than 5 as I am continuing with Nutrisystem and I did lose 1. I also exercise 4 times a week. If you want to try Nutrisystem, or if you're just waiting for your big box, this is a good way to get started. Food was 3 months past expiration date.
Bad deal in my opinion. Minimal breakfasts, lunches, and snacks only. I think it was very overpriced for what I received. The food is terrible. I couldn't make myself eat it after the 2nd day.
Food tasted bland but not as bad as I feared. The real problem was the development of painful gas and bloating from all the fiber. I thought I would explode. Alka-seltzer provided only temporary relief. Had to stop eating it to rectify the problem. I lost weight while sticking to the diet but my waist actually gained inches from the bloating. I like the convenience of having meals prepared, and am having a slow steady weight loss every week. See all 85 reviews. See all customer images.

The fashion exhibition Gone with the wind (18 March to 16 May 2010) in the Juliana pavilion at Keukenhof focuses on the creative ideas of the Dutch fashion world. The organisation of this exhibition is in the hands of the Zuiderzeemuseum, where it was first on display in 2009.
Gone with the Wind exhibits a selection of traditional costumes and contemporary fashions from the Zuiderzeemuseum collection. Dozens of Dutch fashion and jewellery designers and photographers were inspired by the characteristic Dutch regional costumes. Examples include: a 'kraplap' [traditional starched shoulder covering] as contemporary accessory and an interpretation of the Staphorst stippling technique. Outfits by Francisco van Benthum, Alexander van Slobbe, Spijkers & Spijkers and Viktor & Rolf are also on display. Also part of the exhibition is a jewellery design by Ted Noten, where the traditional Urk men's earring blends with the street culture of today. Fashion designer Jan Taminiau created a bridal gown and matching suit for the exhibition. Art and culture have played an important part at Keukenhof from day one. The floral splendour forms a magnificent decor for the fashion exhibition Gone with the Wind. Keukenhof is the showcase of the Dutch horticultural industry, with the emphasis on flowering bulbs. The exhibitions and events in the park interrelate a host of Dutch items in the field of culture and the arts. Unexpected approaches highlight various aspects of contemporary and classic designs alike.


The worst year so far for mariners, and the best for pirates: 53 ships captured worldwide, including 49 by Somali pirates; 445 pirate attacks worldwide; and 1,181 hostages seized, 1,016 by Somali pirates, according to the International Maritime Bureau. Pirate attacks rose by 10 percent in 2010. At present, Somali pirates hold 31 ships and more than 700 mariners.
On September 23, the head of the International Transport Workers Union presented the head of the International Maritime Organization with 930,000 signatures on the End Piracy Now petition. Details are available at MarineLog.
According to Lloyd's List, seafarer unions now support the arming of merchant vessels with armed military personnel when transiting piracy-prone areas. The unions still oppose arming seafarers themselves.
Lloyd's List has reported that twenty pirates were recently tried in Kenya and sentenced to twenty years apiece. An estimated four hundred suspected pirates are being held worldwide for trial.

F ELDAR G UARDSMEN Feldar Joh was a guardsman in Hedrad in 67 AV. Originally from Durrover, he developed a unique flail and morningstar style of combat that has become popular throughout eastern Ghelspad. The training is primarily applicable for armed humanoid opponents engaging in quick skirmishes — ideal for guards or small mercenary groups. A large number of Feldar Guardsmen join the Legion of Crimson. Location: There is a sizeable training center in Hedrad, but most Guardsmen are taught by graduates directly.
In both cases, the combined techniques are rather effective. Fighter-druids are perhaps best known in "civilized" nations as members of the Sisterhood of the Scythe. This path is useful for those lacking the desire needed to devote their lives to service, but who still wish to utilize druidic techniques. • Monk: Masters of personal combat, those who blend the teachings of war colleges with monastic training are highly effective. The fluid grace and iron discipline of a monk combines extremely well with the techniques and tactics of other martial styles.
Very large. Full graduates wear long beards, worked into two braids that curl outward almost like tusks. The few female members grow their hair long and keep it pulled back into two braids. Faces are always covered with a "sanguine cloth," a bright red silk mask, with eyeholes or patches of thin black cloth that can be seen through. Jewelry is common, as are piercings all over the body. A series of ritual scars and tattoos mark out the lives of everyone the Headsman has executed. The torso is usually left exposed, though women may wear some simple support.

Variation of Surface Radiocarbon in the North Pacific During Summer Season 2004–2016
T Aramaki, S Nakaoka, Y Terao, S Kushibashi, T Kobayashi, Y Osonoi, H Mukai, Y Tohjima
Journal: Radiocarbon / Volume 61 / Issue 5 / October 2019
Surface radiocarbon (Δ14C) in the North Pacific has been monitored using a commercial volunteer observation ship since the early 2000s. Here we report the temporal and spatial variations in Δ14C in the summer surface water when the surface ocean is vertically stratified over a 13-yr period, 2004–2016. The long-term Δ14C decreasing trend after the late 1970s in the subtropical region has continued to the present and the rate of decrease of the Kuroshio and Kuroshio Extension, North Pacific and California current areas is calculated to be –3.3, –5.2 and –3.3 ‰/yr, respectively. After 2012 the Δ14C of the Kuroshio and Kuroshio Extension area, however, has remained at an approximately constant value of around 50‰. The result may indicate that subtropical surface Δ14C in the western North Pacific has reached an equilibrium with atmospheric Δ14CO2. The Δ14C in the subarctic region is markedly lower than values in the subtropical region and it seems that the decreasing tendency of surface Δ14C has changed to an increasing tendency after 2010. The results may indicate that bomb-produced 14C, which has accumulated below the mixed layer in the past few decades, has been entrained into the surface layer by deep convection.
Development of a reactive transport code MC-CEMENT ver. 2 and its verification using 15-year in situ concrete/clay interactions at the Tournemire URL†

Highly alkaline environments induced by cement-based materials are likely to cause the physical and/or chemical properties of the bentonite buffer materials in radioactive waste repositories to deteriorate. Assessing long-term alteration of concrete/clay systems requires physicochemical models and a number of input parameters. In order to provide reliability in the assessment of the long-term performance of bentonite buffers under disposal conditions, it is necessary to develop and verify reactive transport codes for concrete/clay systems. In this study, a PHREEQC-based, reactive transport analysis code (MC-CEMENT ver. 2) was developed and was verified by comparing results of the calculations with in situ observations of the mineralogical evolution at the concrete/argillite interface. The calculation reproduced the observations such as the mineralogical changes in the argillite limited to within 1 cm in thickness from the interface, formation of CaCO3 and CSH, dissolution of quartz, decrease of porosity in the argillite and an increase in the concrete. These agreements indicate a possibility that models based on lab-scale (∼1 year) experiments can be applied to longer time scales although confidence in the models is necessary for much longer timescales. The fact that the calculations did not reproduce the dissolution of clays and the formation of gypsum indicates that there is still room for improvement in our model.

Maternal low-protein diet suppresses vascular and renal endothelial nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation in rat offspring independent of a postnatal fructose diet
S. Sato, Y. Mukai, T. Norikura
Journal: Journal of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease / Volume 2 / Issue 3 / June 2011
We investigated the effects of a postnatal fructose diet on the programmed hypertension and vascular and renal dysfunction in offspring from dams exposed to protein restriction. Pregnant Wistar rats were fed control and low-protein diets during the gestation and suckling periods. From the end of lactation, male offspring received standard chow or a 60% fructose diet: a control diet in the gestation and suckling periods and a control diet from the end of lactation, control-on-control (CC), 60% fructose diet-on-control (CF), control-on-low-protein diet (LPC) and 60% fructose diet-on-low-protein diet (LPF). The systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured during treatment. At postnatal days 94–101, urinary 24 h nitrate/nitrite (NOx) content, protein levels of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and mRNA levels of endothelin-1 (ET-1), and NAD(P)H oxidase subunits in the aorta and kidney were examined. The SBP at postnatal days 97–101 increased in CF (137 ± 2 mmHg, P < 0.05), LPC (135 ± 1 mmHg, P < 0.05) and LPF (141 ± 2 mmHg, P < 0.05), compared with CC (124 ± 1 mmHg). The urinary NOx contents and eNOS phosphorylation in the aorta and kidney of CF, LPC and LPF decreased when compared with CC. In the aorta, the mRNA levels of NAD(P)H oxidase subunits p47phox in LPC and ET-1 in LPC and LPF increased. These results indicate that maternal protein restriction elevated the blood pressure, the downregulated nitric oxide production and eNOS phosphorylation, whereas the postnatal fructose diet made no significant difference to these alterations.
Room temperature creep of fine-grained pure Mg: A direct comparison between nanoindentation and uniaxial tension
C.L. Wang, T. Mukai, T.G. Nieh
Journal: Journal of Materials Research / Volume 24 / Issue 5 / May 2009
Nanoindentation creep and uniaxial tension were conducted on pure Mg with a grain size of about 2 μm at room temperature and the data were directly compared. Despite the differences in stress state, the two sets of data were found to match remarkably well with each other. An apparent stress exponent value of 4 was obtained and the deformation mechanism was discussed in light of dislocation slips and twinning in anisotropic Mg.
A method for detecting effect of beneficial mutations in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster
A. Koga, S. Kusakabe, F. Tajima, T. Takano, K. Harada, T. Mukai
Journal: Genetics Research / Volume 58 / Issue 2 / October 1991
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 April 2009, pp. 145-156
An experimental method is proposed for detecting the effects of positive natural selection on DNA polymorphisms. Since beneficial mutations are expected to increase in frequency faster than neutral mutations, variants which have reached high frequencies in a relatively short period could be linked to some beneficial mutation. D. melanogaster has a cosmopolitan polymorphic inversion -In(2L)t - whose age in some local populations has been estimated. Setting the age of In(2L)t as the upper limit for the age of variants, we searched for variants whose frequencies were possibly influenced by positive natural selection. We detected a single candidate whose frequency and distribution met the requirements imposed by our method.
Restriction map and α-amylase activity variation among Drosophila mutation accumulation lines
H. Tachida, K. Harada, C. H. Langley, C. F. Aquadro, T. Yamazaki, C. C. Cockerham, T. Mukai
Journal: Genetics Research / Volume 54 / Issue 3 / December 1989
The specific activities of α-amylase were measured for two sets of mutation accumulation lines, each set having originated from a different lethal-carrying second chromosome and SM1(Cy) chromosome and having been maintained by a balanced lethal system for about 300 generations. Significant variation was found to have accumulated among lines of both sets. Because of dysgenic crosses in the early generations of mutation accumulation, insertions or deletions of transposable elements in the Amy gene region were suspected of being the cause of this variation. In order to test this possibility, the structural changes in the 14 kb region of these chromosomes that includes the structural genes for α-amylase were investigated by restriction map analysis. We found that most part of the activity variation is due to replacements of a chromosomal region of SM1(Cy), including the structural genes for α-amylase, by the corresponding regions of the lethal chromosomes. One line also contained an insertion in this region but this line has an intermediate activity value. Thus, insertions of transposable elements into the Amy gene region were not found to be responsible for the new variation observed in α-amylase activity. If we remove those lines with structural changes from the analysis, the genetic variance of α-amylase specific activity among lines becomes non-significant in both sets of chromosomes.
Structure of shear bands in Pd40Ni40P20 bulk metallic glass

Journal: Journal of Materials Research / Volume 24 / Issue 1 / January 2009
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2011, pp. 1-9
The atomic structure of shear bands in Pd40Ni40P20 bulk metallic glass has been compared to an undeformed matrix phase using pair distribution functions (PDFs) derived from energy filtered nanobeam electron diffraction. Shear bands do not show any characteristic contrast in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images when specimens are prepared with uniform thickness. PDFs from a shear band exhibit a slight decrease in the first peak, indicating a slight difference in packing density and short range order compared to the undeformed matrix.

Stress–strain behaviors of Ti-based bulk metallic glass and their nanostructures
T. Ohkubo, D. Nagahama, T. Mukai, K. Hono
We have investigated the compression stress–strain behaviors of Ti40Zr25Cu12Ni3Be20 bulk metallic glasses prepared by Cu mold casting from various melt temperatures. Plastic strain was found to vary sensitively on the temperature of melts and subsequent annealing conditions. To understand the origin of the plasticity change, the microstructures were characterized using transmission electron microscopy and a laser-assisted three-dimensional atom probe. The fully amorphous sample cast from 1273 K showed 0.6% plastic strain, and it was enhanced to 1.3% after isothermal annealing at 573 K. The sample cast from 1423 K showed 3.0% plastic strain, from which the presence of nanocrystals with a volume fraction of about 12% was confirmed. The sample cast from a higher temperature (1573 K) contained a larger fraction of crystals, which showed limited plastic strain. The effect of the volume fraction of the nanocrystals on the plasticity of bulk metallic glasses is discussed based on the experimental results.

Genetic parameters for reproductive performance of breeding cows and carcass traits of fattening animals in Japanese Black (Wagyu) cattle
K. Oyama, T. Katsuta, K. Anada, F. Mukai
Journal: Animal Science / Volume 78 / Issue 2 / April 2004
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 August 2016, pp. 195-201
Reproductive performance is receiving increased attention from beef cattle producers. There are concerns that intensive selection for carcass traits might reduce the reproductive performance of females. Genetic parameters among six carcass traits and, age at first calving (AFC), gestation length (GL), days open (DO) and calving interval (CI) under year-round artificial insemination were estimated. Reproductive traits were extracted from 174005 calving records of Japanese Black cows and were analysed with 31364 carcass records. The restricted maximum likelihood procedure under animal models was used to estimate the parameters. Heritabilities of AFC, GL, DO and CI were estimated to be 0.20, 0.40, 0.05 and 0.05, respectively, and those of carcass traits were higher, ranging from 0.38 to 0.56. Genetic correlations of CI with AFC and GL were 0.25 and 0.16, respectively, while no relationship was observed between AFC and GL. Correlations among carcass traits were generally favourable and a slightly negative estimate was obtained between subcutaneous fat thickness and marbling score. Genetic correlations for AFC were -0.27 with carcass weight and -0.24 with marbling score. In contrast, GL, DO and CI were genetically independent of carcass traits. Genetic relationships between reproductive and carcass traits were generally low, and therefore serious antagonism was not observed. The results suggested that selection for carcass traits would not compromise genetic progress in reproductive traits.

A CCD search for the Earth-Moon libration clouds around L4
S. Takahashi, M. Ishiguro, Y. Fujii, S. Urakawa, C. Yoshishita, T. Mukai, R. Nakamura
Journal: / Volume 181 /
We attempted to detect the Earth-Moon libration clouds around L4 with a cooled CCD camera at Mauna Kea (4200m), Hawaii, on November 17 and 18, 1999. No significant enhancement of brightness larger than 1.5S10⊙ was found around L4. It seems that the brightness of the libration clouds in 1999, if it existed, would be fainter than that reported previously by Kordylewski and Roach.
The Lagrangian points L4 and L5 are the triangular solutions of the restricted three-body problem. The L4 is located in the leading side and the L5 in the trailing side of an orbit. In the solar system, it is widely known that certain asteroids called the "Trojan family" exist around the Sun-Jupiter Lagrangian points. It is also known that (5261) Eureka is a Mars Trojan. Kuchner et al. tried to find the dust clouds around the Sun-Jupiter L5 point by analysing the COBE-DIRBE infrared data, but they obtained a negative result.

It has been known that non spherical silicate particles of a size comparable to the wavelength of light, and aggregates of such particles, produce negative polarization in the backscattering region (e.g. Xing & Hanner 1997, Yanamandra-Fisher & Hanner, 1999). It has now been shown that large aggregates of small absorbing particles of fractal dimension about 2 produce a slightly negative polarization at small phase angles (Levasseur-Regourd et al., 1997). The phase-curves strongly differ from those of Mie spheroidal particles. They are likely to be due to scattering by irregular dust particles and/or fluffy aggregates of numerous submicronic absorbing particles (Levasseur-Regourd et al., 1997; Lumme et al., 1997).


Several teams are aware of the danger that arises once the sun sets in Ames, Iowa. Texas is one of them.
Ames, where the university enrollment (36,321) makes up over half the city's population (66,191), is a college town in the truest form. But when over 60,000 fans file into Jack Trice Stadium it creates a hectic atmosphere for any opponent.
Although Iowa State is not a Big 12 powerhouse by any means, every now and then the Cyclones shock the conference. Oklahoma State learned that first hand six seasons ago. Then-No. 2 Oklahoma State rolled into Ames with a perfect 10–0 record, but the Cyclones ruined that on a Friday night six years ago.
Iowa State fans garnered in cardinal and gold flooded the field following the Cyclones' shocking 37-31 overtime upset which not only spoiled the Cowboys' season, but also prevented them from earning a national championship berth.
Four years following the Cyclones' 2011 upset, Texas got a taste of the craziness in Ames. The Longhorns were coming off big wins over Oklahoma and Kansas State, but that didn't matter — not in their 24-0 shutout loss to an Iowa State team who was previously 2–5.
Two years later, the Longhorns find themselves in Ames once again on a Thursday night. Texas is a three-point favorite but it won't feel like it once the crowd files in at Jack Trice Stadium, especially on a Thursday night.

The Africa Report
By Khadija Sharife, and Mark Anderson
Gambia's former President Yahya Jammeh orchestrated the embezzlement of nearly $1bn of public funds and illegal timber revenue during his 22-year rule, looting the treasury in a long-running conspiracy that crippled one of the world's poorest countries.
While president of the West African state of 2 million, Jammeh frequently drove his black stretch Hummer from his official residence in Banjul, the capital, to a lavish private estate in his home village of Kanilai.
His route took him past the central bank, the social welfare office, and the headquarters of the state telecom company. These were some of the institutions Jammeh pillaged by elevating privileged civil servants to prominent positions and empowering a group of corrupt businessmen led by a key Hezbollah financier.
"He ran the country like an organised crime syndicate," said Jeggan Grey-Johnson, a Gambian activist and communications officer at the African regional office of the Open Society Foundation (OSF), a pro-democracy and good governance organisation.
The Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) analysed thousands of documents spanning more than two decades, from 1995 to 2016. They revealed how Jammeh's patronage network diverted, misused, and siphoned public funds from or through the Central Bank of The Gambia, the Social Security and Housing Finance Corp., the Gambia National Petroleum Corp., and other state-owned entities.
"Jammeh was the worst of dictators, but because he ruled a nobody country, nobody cared," Grey-Johnson said.
In total, Jammeh and his associates looted or misappropriated at least $975m. Among their biggest targets:
$363.9m from the state-run telecoms company;
$325.5m in illicit timber revenue;
more than $100m in foreign aid and soft loans from Taiwan;
$71.2m from the Central Bank of The Gambia;
$60m from the Social Security and Housing Finance Corp., which manages disability, housing, and pension payments; and
$55.2m from the state-run oil company.
His micromanagement of government affairs allowed him to exert "complete control" over Gambia, said Fatou Camara, who twice served as Jammeh's press secretary between 2011 and 2013.
"Every minister would wait for him before they made decisions," Camara said. "Everything had to wait for the Office of the President to agree."
Jammeh's human rights abuses and corruption went largely unchallenged by the international community because of his country's small size and relative obscurity. A wave of violence across West Africa during his reign — in Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia and Sierra Leone — also helped him fly under the radar.
"The Gambia wasn't even like a back-burner issue — it was a backwater issue," said Cameron Hudson, a former West Africa analyst for the US Central Intelligence Agency.
In a climate of fear, and with the complicity of a powerful circle in and out of the government, Jammeh's brazen corruption continued unchecked for more than two decades.
Merely questioning Jammeh's often erratic rule could result in entire departments being seized. When a senior official at the state-run oil company questioned the president's office on whether its income could be exempt from taxes, Jammeh responded by seizing control of the company's bank accounts and diverting its funds for his use.
Number-one bank
Central banks are only supposed to regulate local banks, control currency in circulation and set interest rates. Typically, individuals cannot have accounts there. But Jammeh treated Gambia's central bank as his personal slush fund.
Much of the time, the money he stole flowed electronically between domestic and foreign accounts. But sometimes the cash literally traded hands. Beneath the hum of air conditioning units in a loading bay on the central bank's east side, presidential aides were known to shove suitcases stuffed with dollars, euros and other currencies into waiting vehicles, according to testimony received by Gambia's own commission of inquiry. The official investigation, led by lawyer Surahata Janneh, has not yet released its final report.
During Jammeh's rule, the central bank became heavily indebted. One of his government's first acts in 1994 was to take out a secret $25m loan in the form of a bond. Decades of fraud, hidden debts in the form of bonds and account manipulation followed, draining the bank of its revenues. Almost 40% of the bank's spending went toward interest payments on debts, according to OCCRP's analysis.
The International Gateway Account: This account received revenues from Gambia's state telecommunications operator, known as Gamtel. The practice of collecting such revenues, earned from long-distance telephone calls and internet services, occurs in every country. In Gambia, however, a disproportionate 82% went to private companies through secret contracts that bypassed the country's regulatory body. About $363m disappeared this way.
The Special Vision Account: Once the International Gateway account was emptied, Jammeh turned to this account, also funded by Gamtel revenues and intended to finance his development plan for Gambia. From July 2014 until January 2017, Jammeh's office diverted about $43m — with $35.7m taken as cash. Jammeh's close business associates were among the beneficiaries. Other expenses included doctors' salaries, a donation to fight the West African Ebola outbreak and funding for Jammeh's personal charitable foundation. The last transaction occurred two days after Jammeh went into exile in 2017.
The State Aircraft Fund: This state travel fund was financed by donor aid from Qatar, tax revenues and other sources. Jammeh's office withdrew cash from the account without stating any purpose and used it to purchase a luxury jet, buses and vehicles from a close associate.
The State Security Account: This account was set up by Jammeh's office with no declared purpose. About $466,000, or 95% of its funds, were diverted from another account called the Consolidated Revenue Fund and used for cash withdrawals, entertainment, travel, payments to Jammeh's favorite wife Zeinab and other expenses.
Mineral-related accounts: They collected royalty payments from private mining companies such as Carnegie, Sand Mining, Gamico, and Heavy Minerals. Though this money was intended for the Consolidated Revenue Fund, the payments fell under the control of the president's office, which oversaw the use of $4.9m.
The Office of the First Lady: There is no such office in Gambia, but Jammeh created this account, filled it with public revenues and spent the entire $35,706.
The National Youth Development Fund: Dozens of scholarships were awarded to young African-American women who Jammeh brought to Gambia to compete in the 2007 Miss Black USA beauty pageant, which he hosted. The fund also paid for maintenance on Jammeh's jet and other expenses. The source of the $4.5m that passed through the account is unknown.
The Green Industry Account: Although the central bank is not allowed to open accounts for private entities, an account named Green Industry – presumably after a private company of the same name – was created. The source of the funds, which were illegally transferred to the company's account at Trust Bank, is unclear.
The Fish Landing Account: Funded by revenue from a 10% fee on fish caught by trawlers in Gambian waters, this account received multiple requests for withdrawals from Jammeh's office.
Jammeh's thirst for public money began soon after he captured power in 1994. In 1995, he recognised Taiwan's independence from China in a strategic establishment of diplomatic ties also made by several other African countries. In doing so, he opened the door to some $100m in foreign aid.
Some of the world's biggest banks – including Barclays, Citibank, HSBC Bank and Standard Chartered – approved transactions for what would turn out to be Jammeh's seizure of state funds for his personal use.
In a statement to reporters, Citibank declined to comment on possible legal violations of standard anti-money laundering, due diligence and "know your customer" requirements as well as potential violations of US laws regarding banking secrecy, corrupt practices and even terrorism laws.
Standard Chartered declined to comment and Barclays declined to comment on the record. HSBC did not respond to requests for comment.
Violence, not governance
Jammeh's favoured officials shared in his prosperity but were also vulnerable to his propensity for violence and punishment.
Many officials who fell out of favour found themselves incarcerated in the country's notorious Mile 2 prison alongside journalists, political activists, human rights campaigners and those perceived to be gay or lesbian.
Jammeh was a 29-year-old lieutenant in Gambia's National Army when he directed the bloodless coup that overthrew Dawda Jawara, ousting the country's first president after nearly 30 years of rule.
The inner circle of corruption
By far the most influential businessman in Jammeh's inner circle was Mohamed Bazzi, the Lebanese head of the energy and petroleum companies Global Trading Group and Euro African Group. According to the US Treasury Department, he was also a key financier for Hezbollah, the US-sanctioned militant group. For more than a decade, Bazzi appeared to be the architect of many Gambian government deals with the private sector.
"Bazzi has been implicated in almost every big deal connected to Jammeh," said the OSF's Grey-Johnson. "In many ways, he was Jammeh's consigliere for Gambia's economy and its private sector."
Bazzi's Euro African Group, which sourced fuel from French oil giant Total, had the ability to control fuel imports and prices as Gambia's sole fuel importer. In return, it received a lucrative cut of the action: Euro African Group got $60m from the state oil company in just three transactions between 2015 and 2017, according to bank records.
Bazzi's businesses were not Jammeh's only money-making cabal. Nor was public money the only source of Jammeh's wealth. During his rule, Gambia exported hundreds of millions of dollars worth of rosewood, an endangered timber not found in its own forests.
Jammeh's partnership with two Romanians created a monopoly on timber exports that allowed them to grab control of the illegal rosewood trade, according to invoices and court records obtained by OCCRP.
From 2011, the country became a conduit of valuable wood to China, where a tonne of rosewood can be sold for as much as $25,000 and high demand can drive the price of a single carved bed frame to $1m.
Virtually all of Gambia's exports of rosewood to China came from the forests of Senegal, according to Babacar Salif Gueye, Senegal's former head of forest management. "All of these logs that Gambia re-exports are illegal," he wrote in prepared remarks for a 2015 Chatham House meeting. "Ninety-nine percent of all rosewood logs exported to China originate from Senegalese forests, not Gambian."
Gambia produces little valuable timber, according to the United Nations (UN) Food and Agriculture Organisation. Just 3% of the country is densely forested, and much of the wood is "crooked, twisted or otherwise damaged," the UN body said.
But Jammeh only had to look to the Casamance region of neighbouring Senegal to find vast reserves of the valuable wood. The region is home to the Jola ethnic group, of which Jammeh is a member, and the foermer president has strong ties to the region.
The rosewood made its way out of Casamance and into Gambia. From there, it was exported to China, even though Senegalese law prohibits rosewood logging and the trade is closely scrutinised by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
Along with Jammeh, Senegal's main rebel group, the Movement of Democratic Forces of Casamance, benefited from the rosewood trade, causing Dakar to classify rosewood as "conflict timber." The rebel group is estimated to have earned $19.5m from the illicit timber trade between 2010 and 2014, according to a report by US environmental charity Forest Trends.
Stealing the future
When Jammeh wanted another private jet in 2012, he turned to his country's pension fund. The fund's then managing director, Abdoulie Cham, quickly set up a $4.5m credit line for the purchase of a private plane, according to documents reviewed by OCCRP. Cham agreed with Jammeh's office to complete the transaction using a commercial bank, which would allow "the extreme confidentiality" the president's office required.
It wasn't the first seizure of money from one of the few safety nets Gambians have for their futures, nor would it be the last. Gambia's pensioners have paid the highest price for Jammeh's looting.
"All my life I have worked for my government, for my country," said Abubacarr Dem, 79, a retired civil servant who told reporters his career spanned 40 years and four ministries. "I had hoped to live from my social security benefits, but what I am paid at the end of the month is nothing," he said. "I get 900 dalasis ($25) every month. That is not enough to even buy a bag of rice."

I am trying to get my enemy to reduce the amount of health the player has when it comes within a certain distance. I have wrote this script that tells me how far away I am from the enemy, and if I get too close the console says "enemy attack". The script also gives me a little GUI of the health that I am wanting to change also when the enemy is too close to the player. I have got so far but Im not sure how to reduce the amount of health the player has at line 12, can anyone give me some pointers?
This is what I have so far but It is not working can you help me out?
InvokeRepeating calls the first argument after the second argument of time. In my case, I call Damage after 0.01s (0.00s messes up the function, sounds like a bug). The third parameter is the frequency of the call, every second. When releasing the button I cancel the invoke.
And if you want to have the code style in the comment, you need to press space bar 4 times.
Make a square colour texture about 64 x 64 a drag it into the healthTexture in the inspector.
var attackNow : float = 0.1; // 1 every 1/10 of a sec, or 10 every sec.
in response to : Ive looked at a few different ways of making a timer but there not making any sense to me, could you help me out?
I personally have seen 2 types of timer/counter. The first is as in my comment, with a 'counter' and a maximum value.
the other method is using Time.time itself, but it still need an increment value to work.
This is what Ive got but Im getting tons of errors so I guess Its wrong, sorry for the formatting it only happens to me.

'Undone' imagines reversing intergenerational trauma in a Mexican-Jewish-American family
By Esther D. Kustanowitz | October 24, 2022
Identity, mental illness and time travel are at the core of "Undone," an animated Prime Video series co-created by Kate Purdy and Palo Alto-born Raphael Bob-Waksberg ("Bojack Horseman") and directed by indie Dutch animator Hisko Hulsing ("Junkyard," "Seventeen"). It is the first episodic television series to use rotoscoping, a style of filmmaking that lives somewhere between live action and traditional animation — the woozy, dreamlike effect enhances the blurring of the line between reality and fantasy and serves as a fitting narrative framework for the series' story content. (Season 1 premiered in September 2019, and season 2 in April 2022; this piece contains spoilers for both.)
"Undone" centers on the Mexican-Jewish-American Winograd-Diaz family, with the first season primarily focusing on twentysomething daughter Alma, who feels imprisoned by life's monotony and craves change. She blows up her life: breaking up with boyfriend, Sam, because she is afraid their goals don't align; encouraging her sister, Becca, to cheat on her new fiance; antagonizing her mother. After a serious accident, she reconnects with her deceased father, Jacob, and discovers an ability to move between timelines. At the same time, her mother and sister believe she is mentally ill and requires therapy and medication. Jacob encourages Alma to develop her talent for time travel in order to uncover the secrets surrounding his death a decade earlier.
Initially, mentions of Alma's Jewish heritage are sparse and even negated. Alma asks Becca if she's going to have a Jewish wedding "because I want to dance the hora."
"We're not Jewish," Becca counters.
"But Dad is — was," Alma asserts.
They don't know much about paternal grandmother Geraldine, just that she "lost her mind," that she was schizophrenic or, as Becca says, "had a bad brain."
The creators bring elements of their own histories to the show. Purdy grew up in San Antonio, Texas, and lived in Mexico for several years. Schizophrenia runs in her family. Bob-Waksberg grew up in Palo Alto, and his family is very connected to the Bay Area Jewish community. (His mother and grandmother owned the Bob and Bob Judaica store, which closed in 2009. And his father retired in 2020 after years at the helm of Jewish LearningWorks.) Bob-Waksberg's sisters are named Amalia and Becky, similar to the names of the Winograd-Diaz sisters in the show.
The two seasons flow into each other, especially if you binge both of them over 36 hours as I did. But they also construct slightly different realities. The second season explores family heritage, culture and trauma more deeply. Alma connects to indigenous Mexican people and practices, and she peers into the traumas that her immigrant ancestors brought when they emigrated from Mexico and Poland. Mother Camila's struggle with faith, family and Geraldine's Holocaust narrative are both painful, and may prompt viewers to try to identify which person suffered more.
The rules of time travel in the "Undone" universe are not entirely clear and consistent. But that's forgivable for a show depicting a multiverse of literal madness that emanates from traumatic brain injury as well as inherited emotional trauma or illness. At points, multiple versions of the characters attempt to resolve family trauma in their own ways, from confronting it head-on to suggesting medication to ignoring it and pretending everything's OK. I like the idea that the family is complicated with many branches of the family tree to explore. But these branches split the story in different directions, and some viewers may not feel connected to all the characters as they move forward in the narrative.
How much of our traumatic past would we erase for the sake of our parents' pain and our family's suffering?
The lack of clarity around whether this is a tale of magic or mental illness also discomforted me. Is Alma right to reject therapy and medication in favor of running at mirrors (which she thinks are portals to another time) and perhaps endangering the kids at the preschool where she works? Her magic seems to work, so we can suspend disbelief and not demand an answer right away, but in a climate where mental illness and the effectiveness of medication and talk therapy in treatment are very much under discussion, this question is likely to linger.
Alma does get to be a rectifier of sorts, using time loops to rehearse scenarios in which she tries to alleviate human pain, bridge estrangement and unlock traumatic memories until all parties arrive at some sort of healing outcome. But is the ability to undo the past real and magical, or imaginary and a product of mental illness? And in alleviating one person's pain, might she be creating trauma for someone else?
I found this series fascinating, both narratively and visually. My brain buzzed, thinking about time travel, about the power to undo a premature tragic death and imagining a decade with that person present instead of absent, about the consequences of undoing past events. Was this show an exploration of mental illness and its genetic markers, or a reminder that someone with a disability impacting one sense — Alma is hearing-impaired — might have other senses enhanced?
The show provides an exercise in developing empathy for previous generations, the secret traumas they may carry and the way those hidden histories impacted them and continue to reverberate in subsequent generations.
How much of our traumatic past would we erase for the sake of our parents' pain and our family's suffering? Would altering our histories change who we are on a molecular level? What do we owe our ancestors? If we had the chance to erase their traumas, should we, no matter the cost to the future?
Initially, "Undone" is visually jarring, existing as it does in a space between live action and animation. Rotoscoping is a complicated and multistep process, in which the artistic product goes through several generations. First, actors perform their roles, then visual artists trace over the footage adding shading and background details. (Fans of Richard Linklater will recognize the style from "Waking Life" and "A Scanner Darkly.") Beyond its visual impact, rotoscoping's multigenerational style poetically parallels the sisters' intergenerational identity dive over the two seasons.
Ultimately, this series is a work with relevant and contemporary questions, as so many of us look to our parents and grandparents to inform the present and — like the Winograd-Diaz sisters — encounter large pockets of familial history that are secret, untold or skipped over because they're too painful to visit and recount. Alma and Becca do the best they can to uncover their family history with the resources they have available, but with one parent deceased and the other secretive, what they can discover is limited. Only by crossing into another realm, time or universe and interacting with the people who lived history are they able to ask the questions and get the answers they need. Offered the same ability, where — or when — would we go? And what would we ask when we got there?
