Design Beyond Art
David Crowley September 14, 2011 September 18, 2011 Design as Critique, Design Exhibition
Here's a review of two exhibitions – 'Telling Tales' at the V&A and 'Super Contemporary' at the Design Museum. Both exhibitions closed in October 2009 but Telling Tales has left an impressive website. The piece first appeared in 2+3d.
Any book or exhibition which carries the title 'contemporary design' is a promise to make sense of the diverse and confusing range of new things and ideas which join the world every day. Curators and critics sift through the over-production of our age to find significant themes and patterns. Over the summer, London was home to two such barometers of design. The Design Museum mounted 'Super Contemporary', a show which attempted to put some muscle behind the city's claim to be an international centre of creativity. And behind the imposing walls of the V&A museum, a couple of miles to the west, 'Telling Tales. Fantasy and Fear in Contemporary Design' was open to the public. The two shows could not have been more different.
'Super Contemporary' set a cast of international design luminaries who have made London their home the challenge of rethinking the city. Reflecting London's diversity, many – including El Ultimo Grito and Zaha Hadid – are adopted sons and daughters of the city. Some – with their tongues pressed firmly inside their cheeks – tackled clichés. Reflecting on London's legendary raininess, Paul Cocksedge developed a device charged with static electricity which repels falling water. Others were rather more purposeful: Industrial Facility (Kim Colin and Sam Hecht) revived the high-street Post Office, currently in terminal decline, as a computerised street kiosk whilst menswear designer and retailer Paul Smith turned London's charmless rubbish bins into 1.5 m high green rabbits that applaud tidy citizens with an electronic flash of their ears.
If 'Super Contemporary' focused on the pubic spaces of the city, 'Telling Tales' at the V&A was rather more introspective. Works by another, very different cast of celebrated designers were brought together to demonstrate the rise of fantasy and narrative in contemporary design. Jurgen Bey 's 2002 'Linen-Cupboard House', for instance, is fashioned from a bed, cupboard and bentwood chair. Under the alibi of being a 'guest room', Bey's work seems interested in the kind of hideaway spaces in which children delight and adults bury their secrets. The fact that his furniture remodels familiar, even old-fashioned objects adds to this effect. Making explicit reference to fairy tales and mythology, Tord Boontje's furniture takes centre stage in 'Telling Tales'. His 'Fig Leaf' wardrobe for Meta – the product of considerable virtuoso craftsmanship – weaves art historical, biblical and literary references into an impossibly expensive domestic object.
'Telling Tales' promotes 'Design Art', a strange confection which has been much discussed in Britain in the last couple of years. One-off pieces and limited editions by well-known designers – often sponsored by high-end manufacturers – have attracted considerable attention from the media. Curator of 'Telling Tales', Gareth Williams, sought out works which cross the 'arbitrary and invisible line that separates design and art'. The appeal of 'Design Art' to designers is clear: becoming Design Artists they can extend their reputations as conceptualists without foregoing the benefits of the market. Maarten Baas's photogenic 'Smoke' furniture represents the trend well and is given a prominent place in the V&A show. Elegant reproductions of eighteenth century furniture as well as design classics by Gerrit Rietveld and Charles and Ray Eames are blowtorched by Baas and his assistants and then coated with a clear epoxy resin to conserve their charred and blackened appearance. These objects have a shrewd schizophrenia, suggesting both the destruction of luxury and, when sold in the Murray Moss gallery in New York, its production. A creation of the booming international market for design over the last few years, 'Design Art' may find that it now lacks willing patrons. Baas's designs are hardly naïve in this regard: after all, they look like the aftermath of a catastrophe.
In fact, the most compelling exhibits in 'Telling Tales' can be understood as a kind psychological diagnosis of contemporary consumerism. 'The Lover's Rug' designed by Patrik Fredrikson and Ian Stallard for Editions David Gill takes the form of two pools of red urethane representing the amount of blood in two people. Part Rorschach diagramme, part scene of crime, 'The Lover's Rug' balances hints at the violence which often accompanies desire.
A pulsing vein of irony runs through many of the works displayed in the V&A's show. The role of chief ironist was played by Studio Job, designers Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel, whose series of pieces of furniture entitled the 'Robber Baron' series combine excessive use of over-the-top materials like gold and bronze with very literal symbols: clouds of gold belch from the chimneys of a nineteenth century factory to form a table; whilst a lavish style cabinet in the style of master cabinetmaker has, seemingly, been ripped through by a mortar. These highly-expensive limited-edition pieces satirise the legendary bad taste of the obscenely rich – whether the robber barons of nineteenth century America, Wall Street bankers in the 1980s or the Russian oligarchs today – and point to the unsavory sources of their wealth. Yet perhaps today only oligarchs and despots have sufficiently deep pockets for Studio Job's products. Not only, it seems, are the designers ironically-minded: their clients have to be too. There is little question that such designs aspire to be the kind of modern art favoured by commercial galleries: exclusive, provocative and, of course, expensive.
The debate on 'Design Art' has tended to focus on the question of function. 'How can it be design' ask critics, 'if you cannot use it?' Stephen Bayley put succinctly when he wrote recently 'Should a chair be a narrative, a theorem? Or something to sit upon?'I am not convinced that purposefulness is the best way to divide art from design. After all, the history of architecture and design is full of utopian projects which ensured their visionary status by being unbuildable. The aim of Vladimir Tatlin in Soviet Russia in the 1920s or Superstudio in Italy at the end of the 1960s was not to reshape the material world but the imagination. El Ultimo Grito and Urban Salon in 'Super Contemporary' continue this tradition by joining forces to design a vertiginous 'Skygarden' above London's Trafalgar Square, a city-centre landmark organised around Nelson's Column. In a new green park fifty meters above the ground, visitors would be able to greet the lofty figure of Admiral Nelson face-to-face. The visitor in the Design Museum is asked to imagine life in the city from an entirely new perspective.
Impossible and unbuildable, is the skygarden 'Design Art' too? I don't think so. It fits squarely within design's social imagination. For at least a century, imaginative designers have seen their work not only as useful and beautiful things but also as social instruments. Things and ideas can change the way that people live, think and interact. Not just a commentary on the world, design aspires to be part of it. This social aspiration is not just a matter of mass production and mass sales. Even though it is produced in a limited edition of four, Jurgen Bey's 'Linen-Cupboard House' taps deep and shared reserves of lived experience. Objects which withdraw into ironic contemplation or chase elite markets abandon the social aspirations which make design a compelling aspect of the modern commonwealth. This is not a matter of eschewing the gallery: but it is about deciding what design is for.

In Kansas, which ranks 48th in the nation for its lack of energy efficiency incentives, regulators have rejected most parts of a utility proposal to establish a set of efficiency benefits for its customers.
Kansas City Power & Light (KCP&L) wanted to create a set of benefits in Kansas very similar to those it offers its customers on the Missouri side of the Kansas City metropolitan area. However, the Kansas Corporation Commission ruled on Thursday that most of the rebates and other benefits did not justify their cost.
A few components of the proposal did survive, including an energy-efficiency education program as well as efficiency benefits targeted toward low-income residents. Those initiatives aren't required to meet the cost-benefit test that is applied to other parts of the utility's proposal. The commission also determined that a lighting incentive would deliver benefits exceeding its cost, as well as two programs for business customers. Those are a demand-response incentive and a standard efficiency rebate.
However, those successes were small consolation to Dorothy Barnett, who advocated for the efficiency program on behalf of the Climate & Energy Project in Kansas.
This is the first utility attempt to create an energy efficiency program since the legislature passed the Kansas Energy Efficiency Investment Act in 2014. The law allows utilities to be reimbursed and to earn some profit on funds spent on customer efficiency programs.
KCP&L had offered some experimental efficiency benefits prior to the bill's passage, but allowed them to lapse. The utility essentially was attempting to replace that program with benefits conceived under the 2014 law, Barnett said.
The commission's rejection was based in part on its assessment of the proper way to calculate how much expense the utility could avoid through reduced electricity sales. Also, the commission and the Citizens Utility Ratepayer Board disagreed with the utility about what tool to use in approximating the useful life and savings for specific energy efficiency measures. KCP&L used a "technical resource manual," while the commission and the ratepayer board maintained that the California Database for Energy Efficiency Resources is the more accurate source.
The ratepayer board advised the commission not to approve the efficiency plan.
Although KCP&L was asking to institute a program in Kansas that is very similar to its program in Missouri, the regulatory response in the two states was quite different — an outcome that surprised Barnett.
KCP&L has 15 days from June 22 to ask the commissioners to reconsider their decision. If last week's decision stands, Barnett said she may try to address the language of the Energy Efficiency Investment Act in the legislature next year.
"I think there are several pieces that may need to be looked at," she said. "Parts of the law are ambiguous. It could be interpreted however you wanted. If you're inclined to approve energy-efficiency programs, you could use that law to justify it. If you're inclined not to approve energy efficiency programs, you can point to the law that says we may do this.
The state's ratepayer advocate rejected an earlier plan for spending too much without delivering enough benefits.


Today I am delighted to share an interview with Dr. Peter Enns (Ph.D., Harvard), Affiliate Professor of Biblical Studies at Eastern University. Dr. Enns has published a number of articles and books, including Exodus in the NIV Application Commentary series (Zondervan), Inspiration and Incarnation: Evangelicals and The Problem of the Old Testament (Baker), and The Evolution of Adam (Baker). He maintains an active blog by his own name, Peter Enns.
I started blogging in 2009 and moved over to Patheos where I am now in 2011. In 2010-11 I also did a lot of blogging with the BioLogos foundation. I got into blogging slowly. I was encouraged by a friend to blog because he felt there was an audience out there that might be engaged and encouraged by my take on what the Bible is and what it means to read it well. I figured I had noting to lose. He set up a website and I've been annoying people ever since.
Blogging forces me to write accessible content on a regular basis. From a writing point of view, blogging is like working out a few times a week. I also just plain like collecting my thoughts, presenting them well, and trying to see if I can persuade people to think differently after reading my posts than they were thinking before. I suppose that's the teacher/scholar in me coming through.
I've also benefitted from "meeting" people I never would have known–either fellow bloggers or commenters on my posts. These contacts teach me many things, and also also alert me to good books, articles, or posts that are out there and that I might have missed or gotten to only later. It's like having hundreds of study buddies.
Yes, for, as we all know, what the world needs is more bloggers, especially academics with their remarkable social skills and uncanny ability to connect with the average person.
All kidding aside, there is no "should" about academics and blogging. Whoever feels a drive to connect with a larger readership on a popular level should. If they don't feel that drive, they shouldn't. Personally, I would like to see more academics catch a vision for popular writing, of whatever sort, including blogging, but they need to want to do this–and be willing to do the hard work of not thinking like academics to pull it off.
Try to think of blogging as different mode of communication than lecturing or academic writing. Try to write shorter sentences and shorter paragraphs. Try to keep jargon to a minimum. Think of an audience you want to reach and remember that audience when you write. Accept comments by readers–without it you're not really blogging anyway–and try to engage when you can those who are taking the time to comment.
And write about what jazzes you, not about what you think you "should" write about to be respectable or (elephant in the room) just to increase traffic. Be you. Let your passions and enthusiasm dictate what you write about. Those passions are who God made you to be. There are people waiting to hear what your passions are. Have fun. Be vulnerable. Show your readers who you are, not just what you know.
Nice one. Thanks for the series!


Kermit, my Senegal Parrot, the only angel left in the family, had some changes in his behaviors. He's really quiet most of the time and less active. Probably, he realized that Kiki was no longer there to bug him. Kermit is not the only experiencing the change, including me and my family members were still missing all the fun and laughter brought over by Kiki.
Life is indeed monotonous without Kiki now. I've to admit the blog started to be a little less exciting without the presence and updates of Kiki.
These was the closest they can get. Kiki was expecting a share of the food with Kermit, but Kermit seemed couldn't be bothered by Kiki's reaction. Probably Kermit was still living in his own world at that stage!
It's already the 15th day since Kiki went missing during one incident. Till now, we still have no news about Kiki. My family members and I have learned to accept the truth that Kiki will never come back. We do hope she's definitely doing well now and some friendly souls will take good care of her.
In order to commemorate Kiki, I had decided to share some of the unrevealed videos of Kiki and releasing a special video collection of Kiki in my coming posts. I'm also planning for a campaign to commemorate Kiki, so do stay tune to the blog for details.
It's the third day since Kiki flew off from the Kitchen window. We are still expecting the return of Kiki, although chances of happening are definitely slim.
Thank you guys for your concerns and supports. I'm truly grateful for all these.
My family members and I are definitely feeling much better, and we learned to accept the fact. We have to move on.
This late afternoon I happen to spot an "entertaining" comments made on one of the notices (refer to picture right) that I pasted at the lift lobby.
Seriously I don't whether to laugh or not to laugh, after reading the comments.
First of all, I had to thank this anonymous person for highlighting these "already known" fact that birds have wings. Even my young nieces and nephews knew that bird has wings.
I had to admit the anonymous writer who made the comments wasn't completely wrong about this, but he/she seems to have a hidden agenda for doing this. What is he/she trying to portray?
Such comments made during this difficult period is equivalent to rubbing salt on an open wound. Seriously I felt quite hurt when reading the comments.
First, with these comments, he/she simply diminished our dreams for the return of Kiki. Probably with 50% of hope initially, and now extinguished to 0% of hope after reading it. These comments are absolutely discouraging.
Secondly, I'm very convinced that he/she never knew that such notices placed at neighborhood does bring miracles. Number of owners managed to get back their beloved parrots through the effect of placing missing notices around the the neighborhood. Who knows Kiki happens to be in someone's home, the homeowner come to realize that I'm looking for her after seeing my notices.
Thirdly, I was greatly upset because someone made this "grafitti" on my notice. This greatly reflect he/she shown little respect for the owner who is in anxiety in finding back the missing companion parrot.
Why does he/she has to write these comments?
Why there's always a minority trying to shatter someone's last glimpse of hope?
Is this selfishness or being sadistic?
Are these the ugly side of the entire human race?
The comments definitely sound sarcastic to me. I don't know what his/her objective for placing this line, perhaps he/she is trying express something else (probably out of curiosity) that I misunderstood?
Although I've yet to know what his/her thoughts for those line, but I'm already badly affected emotionally through those lines.
Finally, I've something to share (especially to the anonymous writer) that not all birds and parrots have the full ability or luxury to be fully flighted. Household Parrots are mostly wing clipped (means trimming on the flight feathers to restrict flight to a certain extend), thus I'm very confident that Kiki is still within the neighborhood and not flying anywhere further.
I never ever expect myself printing and pasting these missing notices around the neighborhood. I kept telling myself that this could be just the wildest dream I had. In fact, I just trying to be naive and refusing to accept the fact.
Looking at the empty cage of Kiki, the complete quiet household environment, I've to admit Kiki can never be back.
It all happen this morning at around 8.45am. It started pouring outside, and my mum decided to collect the laundry hanging outside. Apparently Kiki was happily sitting on mum's shoulder, but at that split second Kiki decided to take off and flew right out of the window. Mum shouted "Kiki!", the moment I dashed to the kitchen without seeing the presence of Kiki, I was very certain what actually happened.
Mum clarified that Kiki flew down to void deck. For the moment, I hoped she's joking, but when she threw all the laundry on the floor and left the house swiftly, I knew I had to accept the fact. Mum and I hurried down to the void deck from our apartment unit located at the 10th Storey.
We combed the whole neighborhood for Kiki, but she was no where to be found. Neither she was hiding in the bushes or canopy of trees. I didn't even hear any piercing calls of Kiki. She even didn't response to my calls.
My greatest fear that she might had already ended a feast for the crows and stray cats. When I spoted a couple of black cats down at the void deck, I kept telling myself, this could be one incident that I will be parting with her forever, never seeing her ever again.
3 hours after the incident happened, still no sign and calls from Kiki, I decided to gave up the search. In the end I rushed back home created this Missing Notice of Kiki and got my buddy, Wee Chong to print out for me in colour. I pasted the notice around the neigborhood, and even passed a few copies to the security guards from Regent Heights Condominium and the management of the Mosque. I'm hoping any kind soul who happened to found Kiki would return her back to us.
Another 2 hours later, I decided to conduct another comb down at the void deck and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately still no sign of Kiki. What really sadden me was that my notices at some spot were removed by someone. Even I tried replacing the notices, the moment when I was back at my own block apartment, the notices were gone again.
No matter how hard I worked, everything's back to square-one. I really felt helpless.
Surprisingly I lost all my appetite I skipped my breakfast, lunch and dinner. Till now I aren't hungry. My initial thought was Kiki.
Kiki, I missed you so much!
Weather has been bad lately. Either it can goes as hot and humid than usual or rainy and wet throughout the whole day.
The big phenomenon in the climate does bring some worries whether Kermit and Kiki can really handle the change.
Yesterday was just another hot and sunny afternoon. Kiki will just perch on the playstand enjoying her usual day meal while I'm working on project and returning email from my work desk nearby.
About 45 minutes later, I noticed a complete silence in the activity room. Surprisingly, I spotted Kiki tugging in and napping on the crock cup. I tried to capture at that very moment, but apparently the "clicking" sound from the camera had woke Kiki up accidentally. I felt really apologetic for causing the disturbance.
Talking about bird sleep, I'm sure almost all bird owners have noticed that birds are very sensitive to surrounding even they asleep. The slightest sound or movement of the surroundings can alarm and work them up immediately. The interesting part, birds don't really close both eyes during sleep. I noticed Kermit and Kiki while napping they tend to open their eyes on one side, perhaps to maintain vigilant to watch out for any dangers.
Guess it's just their natural instincts!
Last Friday was Kiki's one year old birthday. Although I wasn't really sure about Kiki's actual hatch day, even the breeder who I got Kiki from wasn't sure too, but I decided to make 27th June as an official date for Kiki's birthday.
Neither did I throw a party for her nor invite other feathered friends to the celebration, but a simple one.
For past few days when replacing the Kiki's cage linings, I noticed quite a number of feathers (mainly primary and secondary) lying at the bottom of the cage. The feathers are complete with no sign of any plucking and picking. Kiki seems to be going through a serious feather molting process, definitely a tough period for Kiki.
Furthermore, many of Kiki's flight feathers were fully regrown. She definitely in for another grooming session to have her flight feathers trimmed.
By the way this coming Friday will be her one year birthday. Three more days to the big day, I'm still deciding what treat I'm going to prepare for her. Everyone in the family is truly excited, especially my mum.
To Wing Clipped or Not To?
Kiki has coming to 11 months old and soon be turning 1 year old by late June this year. Kiki was merely with us since August 2007, with a short 9 months companionship she had learned a surprising numbers of tricks.
Last night, I was updating the "About" section, suprisingly I notice I've taught 16 tricks and commands in total. Till date, she's able to perform each and every tricks and commands with no problems at all (although at certain occassion there might be hiccups here and there, but minor mistakes can easily be fine tuned).
I do hope her enthusiasm in learning tricks never ends!

Athenaeus, The Deipnosophists
Athenaeus was an ethnic Greek and seems to have been a native of Naucrautis, Egypt. Although the dates of his birth and death have been lost, he seems to have been active in the late second and early third centuries of the common era. His surviving work The Deipnosophists (Dinner-table Philosophers) is a fifteen-volume text focusing on dining customs and surrounding rituals.
The following is an adaptation of The Deipnosophists / Athenaeus, trans. Charles Burton Gulick. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1937.
§ 4.34. "But among the Galatians," says Phylarchus in his sixth book, "it is the custom to place on the tables a great number of loaves broken indiscriminately, and meat just taken out of the cauldrons, which no one touches without first waiting for the king to see whether he touches anything of what is served up before him." But in his third book the same Phylarchus says that "Ariamnes the Galatian, being an exceedingly rich man, gave notice that be would give all the Galatians a banquet every year; and that he did so, managing in this manner: He divided the country, measuring it by convenient stages along the roads; and at these stages he erected, tents of stakes and rushes and osiers, each containing about four hundred men, or somewhat more, according as the district required, and with reference to the number that might be expected to throng in from the villages and towns adjacent to the stage in question. And there he placed huge cauldrons, full of every sort of meat; and he had the cauldrons made in the preceding year before he was to give the feast, sending for artisans from other cities. And he caused many victims to be slain — numbers of oxen, and pigs, and sheep, and other animals — every day; and he caused casks of wine to be prepared, and a great quantity of grain. And not only," he continues, "did all the Galatians who came from the villages and cities enjoy themselves, but even all the strangers who happened to be passing by were not allowed to escape by the slaves who stood around, but were pressed to come in and partake of what had been prepared."
§ 4.36. And Posidonius the Stoic, in the Histories which he composed in a manner by no means inconsistent with the philosophy which he professed, writing of the laws that were established and the customs which prevailed in many nations, says: "The Celts place food before their guests, putting grass for their seats, and they serve it up on wooden tables raised a very little above the ground: and their food consists of a few loaves, and a good deal of meat brought up floating in water, and roasted on the coals or on spits. And they eat their meat in a cleanly manner enough, but like lions, taking up whole joints in both their hands, and gnawing them; and if there is any part which they cannot easily tear away, they cut it off with a small sword which they have in a sheath in a private depository. And those who live near the rivers eat fish also, and so do those who live near the Mediterranean sea, or near the Atlantic ocean; and they eat it roasted with salt and vinegar and cumin seed: and cumin seed they also throw into their wine. But they use no oil, on account of its scarcity; and because they are not used to it, it seems disagreeable to them. But when many of them sup together, they all sit in a circle; and the bravest sits in the middle, like the leader of a chorus; because he is superior to the rest either in his military skill, or in birth, or in riches: and the man who gives the entertainment sits next to him; and then on each side the rest of the guests sit in regular order, according as each is eminent or distinguished for anything. And their armour-bearers, bearing their large oblong shields, stand behind; and their spear-bearers sit down opposite in a circle, and feast in the same manner as their masters. And those who act as cup-bearers and bring round the wine, bring it round in jars made either of earthenware or of silver, like ordinary casks in shape. And their platters on which they serve up the meat are also made of the same material; but some have bronze platters, and some have wooden or plaited baskets. And the liquor which is drunk is, among the rich, wine brought from Italy or from the country about Marseilles; and this is drunk unmixed, but sometimes a little water is mixed with it. But among the poorer classes what is drunk is a beer made of wheat prepared with honey, and oftener still without any honey; and they call it corma. And they all drink it out of the same cup, in small portions, not drinking more than a ladle at a time; but they take frequent turns: and a slave carries the liquor round, beginning at the right hand and going on to the left; and this is the way in which they are waited on, and in which they worship the gods, always turning towards the right hand."
§ 4.37. And Posidonius continuing, and relating the riches of Lyernius the father of Bityis, who was subdued by the Romans, says that "he, aiming at becoming a leader of the populace, used to drive in a chariot over the plains, and scatter gold and silver among the myriads of Celts who followed him; and that he enclosed a fenced space of twelve furlongs in length every way, square, in which he erected wine-presses, and filled them with expensive liquors; and that he prepared so vast a quantity of food that for very many days any one who chose was at liberty to go and enjoy what was there prepared, being waited on without interruption or cessation. And once, when he had issued beforehand invitations to a banquet some poet from some barbarian nation came too late and met him on the way, and sung a hymn in which he extolled his magnificence, and bewailed his own misfortune in having come too late: and Lyernius was pleased with his ode, and called for a bag of gold, and threw it to him as be was running by the side of his chariot; and that he picked it up, and then went on singing, saying that his very footprints upon the earth over which he drove produced benefits to men." These now are the accounts of the Celts given by Posidonius in the third and in the twentieth books of his History.
§ 4.38. […] The Romans at their feasts once practiced single combats: "The Romans used to exhibit spectacles of single combats, not only in their public shows and in their theatres, having derived the custom from the Etruscans, but they did so also at their banquets. Accordingly, people often invited their friends to an entertainment, promising them, in addition to other things, that they should see two or three pairs of single combatants. And when they had bad enough of meat and drink, they then called in the combatants: and as soon as one of them was killed, the guests clapped, being delighted at the exhibition. And in one instance a man left it in his will that some beautiful women, whom be had purchased as slaves, should engage in single combat: and in another case a man desired that some youthful boys whom he had loved should do so; but the people would not tolerate such notorious proceedings, and declared the will invalid." And Eratosthenes says, in the first book of his Catalogue of the Victors at Olympia, that the Etruscans used to box to the music of the flute.
§ 4.40. But Posidonius, in the third, and also in the twentieth book of his Histories, says: "The Celts sometimes have single combats at their entertainments. For being collected in arms, they go through the exercise, and make feints at, and sometimes they even go so far as to wound one another. And being irritated by this, if the bystanders do not stop them, they will proceed even to kill one another. But in olden times," he continues, "there was a custom that a hind quarter of pork was put on the table, and the bravest man took it; and if any one else laid claim to it, then the two rose up to fight till one of them was slain. And other men in the theatre having received some silver or gold money, and some even for a number of earthen vessels full of wine, having taken pledges that the gifts promised shall really be given, and having distributed them among their nearest connexions, have laid themselves down on doors with their faces upwards, and then allowed some bystander to cut their throats with a sword." […]
§ 6.49. And Posidonius of Apamea, in the twenty-third book of his Histories, says: "The Celts, even when they make war, take about with them companions to dine with them, whom they call parasites. And these men celebrate their praises before large companies assembled together, and also to private individuals who are willing to listen to them: they have also a description of people called Bards; who make them music; and these are poets, who recite their praises with songs." […]
§ 6.234. […] The Gaulish nation called the Scordisci do not allow gold into their country either, even though they are eager to plunder the territories of their neighbours, and to commit violence; those people are a remnant of the Gauls who formed the army of Brennus when he made his expedition against the temple of Delphi. And a certain Bathanattus, acting as their leader, settled them as a colony in the districts around the Danube. They call the road by which they returned the "Bathanattan road" after him, and even to this day they call his posterity the Bathanatti. And these men avoid gold, and do not allow it into their territories, since it has brought many disasters upon them; but they do use silver, and commit the most horrendous atrocities to get it. […]
§ 8.36. Aristotle also records the occurrence of a similar event in his Constitution of Massilia, writing as follows: "The people of Phocaea, in Ionia {Greece], founded Massilia because they were so devoted to commerce. Euxenus of Phocaea was a friend of the king [of the Celtic Segobrigi], Nannus (for that was his name). This Nannus was celebrating his daughter's wedding when, by chance, Euxenus arrived and was invited in to attend the festival banquet. Now the marriage was to be conducted in the following manner: after the dinner the girl was to come in and mix a drink and give it to any one of the suitors present that she desired; and he to whom she gave it was to be bridegroom. When the girl entered she gave the cup, whether by accident or for some other reason, to Euxenus; the girl's name was Petta. When this befell, the father, believing that her giving the cup had been done by divine will, thought it only right that Euxenus should have her, so he took her to wife and lived with her, after changing her name to Aristoxene. And there is a clan in Massilia to this day descended from the woman called "Protiadae"; for Protis was the son of Euxenus and Aristoxene."
§ 10.443. […] In his second book of his History of Philip, Theopompus says that the Illyrians dine and drink seated, and even bring their wives to parties […] The people of Ardia [in modern Montenegro] own 300,000 bondsmen whose status is between freemen and slaves. They get drunk every day and have parties, and are too uncontrolled in their addiction to eating and drinking. Hence the Celts, when they made war on them, knowing the lack of self-control of the Ardiaeans, ordered their troops to prepare a dinner in their tents with the utmost possible splendour, but to put into the food a certain poisonous herb which irritates the bowels and causes them to empty themselves. When this was done, some of the Ardiaeans were overcome and killed by the Celts, and others threw themselves into the rivers, being unable to bear the pain in their intestines.

Q: Suggestions for matching proper names across databases Is there a guide to dealing with proper names in database settings.  I have 2 data sets with proper names as primary keys but there are very big differences in formatting across the two sets.  In addition, it's hard to even determine first, middle and last names due to various family names styles and hyphenation.
It's bad enough that I'm debating recreating the data from scratch but don't know what a good set of best practices is for dealing with names (ie should I use first, middle, last or merge middle with last, etc.)?
Any suggestions would be great for my sanity. Thanks.

A: Yes - the guide is. Don't do it. You can simply create a UNIQUE column making the name + new unique id column as unique, keep in mind this is not necessary global, it depends on your environment.
Otherwise you would want to use something like name + zip + dob +/- unique id.
This would give you a much better roundabout when dealing with these tables. ALSO if this is a project you walked into, you might want to consider bringing up a database design issue with your supervisor. As this is not good practice...

A trip to The Foundry always brings with it some unexpected discoveries. There are so many things going on there, that the programming is ever-changing. Not only are there always new artisans frequenting the building, there are always new classes being introduced, such as "Sewing a Pillow" at The Foundry's Textile Lab. This particular class is geared towards beginners who want to be taught the ropes of pillow making, from learning to use a sewing machine, to marking, pinning, and sewing seams.
Once someone understands the basics of pillow making, there are limitless roads to take moving forward. Learning the basics is a great way to grasp a foundation, before moving ahead with other fun sewing-related craft projects.
Following is all that you need to know, to get started with basic throw pillow making at The Foundry.
Beginner level course with instructor Phillipia Glover – owner of Marvelous Light, a custom pillow company operated out of The Foundry.
The Foundry provides the machines and materials. But if you'd like to use a specific fabric or color, please feel free to bring 1/2 yard of cotton weight woven (not stretchy) fabric. The fabric provided for this project will be a range of neutral colored natural fibers.

Dextromethorphan inhibition of voltage-gated proton currents in BV2 microglial cells
Jin Ho Song*, Jay Z. Yeh
Dextromethorphan, an antitussive drug, has a neuroprotective property as evidenced by its inhibition of microglial production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species. The microglial activation requires NADPH oxidase activity, which is sustained by voltage-gated proton channels in microglia as they dissipate an intracellular acid buildup. In the present study, we examined the effect of dextromethorphan on proton currents in microglial BV2 cells. Dextromethorphan reversibly inhibited proton currents with an IC 50 value of 51.7μM at an intracellular/extracellular pH gradient of 5.5/7.3. Dextromethorphan did not change the reversal potential or the voltage dependence of the gating. Dextrorphan and 3-hydroxymorphinan, major metabolites of dextromethorphan, and dextromethorphan methiodide were ineffective in inhibiting proton currents. The results indicate that dextromethorphan inhibition of proton currents would suppress NADPH oxidase activity and, eventually, microglial activation.

Proud to announce the release of Henry's Battle
When Gloria E. Swan found her father's World War Two letters, she knew there was a story to tell. The result is Henry's Battle and it is now launched in print and ebook versions.
We have worked with Gloria for more than two years, working through structural and line redrafts and edits and proofreading. Gloria had already put in several years of work. Her dedication to producing a book of the highest quality is a stand out and made it a pleasure to work with her to see the project through. Now, early readers are messaging to say "great read" and they "couldn't stop reading'. Why not try it for yourself?
LAUNCHED APRIL 2014: HENRY'S BATTLE, Love and lives in conflict in World War Two By Gloria E. Swan
Henry has big plans, to play test cricket, and to do his bit in putting an end to World War Two. Leaving his matchmaking mother, and his home town of Murwillumbah, Henry sets off with on his mission to Cowra for basic training. There he meets Connie, the girl of his dreams. But Henry's path to true love and world salvation is turbulent as he is posted to undertake dangerous intelligence duties in the Middle East and New Guinea. Again and again, Henry must choose between his career and his family. Inspired by the discovery by the author, Gloria E. Swan, of her father's wartime letters, Henry's Battle gives us a glimpse into the challenges faced by thousands of Australian families.
For information here is Gloria E. Swan's website.

Aaron Greenville and A. Prof. Glenda Wardle, Desert Ecology Research Group, University of Sydney.
The dingo provides positive conservation benefits to biodiversity, through suppression of feral cats, red foxes and over-abundant herbivores.
Dingo – killed and left on pole in 2013 (left) Thylacine last seen in wild in 1932 after five decades of lethal control (right). Dingo photograph by Aaron Greenville, thylacine photo taken ~1869, photographer unknown.
1. Dingoes kill and compete with cats and foxes, and alter the foraging behaviour of feral cats. This suppression of smaller predators can have net positive benefits for populations of threatened species.
2. Dingoes can control populations of herbivores. Kangaroo numbers increase with rainfall and, when present, dingoes limit their population through predation. This reduces grazing pressure on grasslands.
3. Lethal control of dingoes can disrupt the social structure of packs that would otherwise limit dispersal, hybridisation and attacks on stock.
4. Alternatives to lethal control and the dingo fence exist. For example, livestock guardian dogs can protect stock from dingo predation. This alternative is cost effective as it will provide a return on investment in 1 to 3 years.

How to watch Apple's WWDC 2020 keynote today
By Alex Blake June 22, 2020
The Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is one of Apple's biggest annual events, but this year it'll be held entirely online. If you want to follow along to check out all the product announcements and latest software news, here is how to do it.
How to watch WWDC 2020
What to expect at WWDC 2020
The event kicks off at 10 a.m. PT on June 22 with the main keynote presentation. There are lots of ways to tune in. You can stream the show at apple.com, on YouTube, by using the Apple Developer app or website, and on the Apple TV app. A live video of the presentation will be embedded in this article as soon as it is available, so make sure to check back regularly.
After the keynote, at 2 p.m. PT, Apple will start its Platforms State of the Union address, which takes a deeper look at how MacOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS have developed over the last year. This will be available to stream on the Apple Developer app and website.
Apple Mac Mini M2 vs. M1: don't make a buying mistake

Apple's secret spring event could be in yet more trouble
Throughout the week, Apple will host more than 100 engineering sessions. Each of these will go in-depth on a topic, showing developers how to use all the latest and upcoming features in Apple's operating systems to build or improve their apps. Videos will be posted at 10 a.m. PT each day during the week and will be available on the Apple Developer app and website.
Developers will also be able to attend virtual one-on-one sessions with Apple engineers. These will be by appointment only and are particularly useful for developers who have a certain question or problem in mind.
Finally, a new addition this year are Apple Developer Forums. More than 1,000 Apple engineers will be in attendance to answer questions posted by the community. Anyone can view the questions and answers, but only Apple Developer Program members can ask new questions.
The Mac is expected to have a large presence at WWDC, with the long-rumored switch to ARM processors potentially in the cards. Elsewhere, Apple may preview new devices, including a redesigned iMac, Tile-like Bluetooth trackers called AirTags, and over-ear headphones called either StudioPods or AirPods Studio.
Apple uses WWDC to preview upcoming versions of its operating systems, and this year will be no different. You can also expect to see all the new features in iOS 14, iPadOS14, macOS 10.16, watchOS 7, and tvOS 14.
We will have all the details on everything Apple announces as it happens, so check back throughout the event for more info.

Paul Diderichsen, född 16 augusti 1905 i Köpenhamn, död 9 oktober 1964, Köpenhamn, var en dansk språkvetare och professor.

Diderichsen gav ut verket Elementær dansk grammatik år 1946. Han är mest känd för ha formulerat begreppet satsschema, som lämpar sig väl för syntaktisk analys av språk med fast ordföljd såsom de större nordiska språken. Den grundläggande idén är att satser har ett antal positionellt bestämda fält i relation till det finita verbet och att om satsdelarna flyttas från ett fält till ett annat transformeras satsen från huvudsats till bisats, från deklarativ sats till fråga, eller från obetonad sats till topikaliserad sats (som betonar något av satsdelarna särskilt). Teorin har fått förnyad aktualitet de senaste åren eftersom den kan användas för effektiv och enkel datoriserad syntaktisk analys.

Local Venues Struggling With Lockdown Granted a Reprieve By Culture Recovery Fund
Law Firm Calls For Continued Efforts In Safeguarding The Nation's Culture For The Future
As a second national lockdown gets underway, lawyers at a national law firm is continuing to support grassroots projects, calling for the nation's cultural and artistic venues not to be forgotten.
The introduction of a four week lockdown in response to the increase in coronavirus cases has led to the re-introduction of the furlough scheme and support for businesses. Irwin Mitchell say while this is welcome, more needs to be done to ensure the long term survival of the nation's cultural and artistic industries.
Laura Harper, a partner and specialist advisor to the creative industries has called on government and businesses who can support culture in the community to help ensure the survival of some of our best loved venues.
The government's Culture Recovery Fund has already awarded more than £257m in grants to local arts projects throughout the country, covering music, museums, dance and the arts to help protect some of the most deserving causes and ensure they survive lockdown. Venues supported by the fund include the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester, Birmingham Repertory Theatre, the Leeds Theatre Trust, the North Music trust in Gateshead and many more.
The government has also recognised the need to offer support to smaller venues, with £50,000 donations to visual arts projects in London, niche theatres in the South West and music projects in the North East.
Recent regional projects Irwin Mitchell has been involved in, include assisting Manchester based Band on the Wall's efforts to secure the survival of grassroots music venues across the country and the ongoing access partnership with Leeds Playhouse.
"The first lockdown had a profound impact on our cultural and creative sector and while the loss of over 400,000 jobs is bad enough, we risk not just more job losses but the disappearance of much that binds many of our local communities together.
"A second lockdown threatens a crisis for music, theatre and the arts and as part of our strategy; we are supporting grass roots projects throughout the country where we can.
"As people and communities had just begun to get back on their feet, a second lockdown will be a devastating blow and bring back the uncertainty that did so much damage earlier in the year. The more of us who can do what we can to support local projects, the more of our theatres, concert halls, art centres, museums, music venues we can save.
"Government support for the big ticket names and venues is welcome and it's good to see smaller venues have not been neglected in terms of grants awards. It's vital this continues and we don't forget those great local venues that mean so much to so many of us. We will miss them when they are gone and we have to do all in our power to protect what we can for people to enjoy once we can return to what may be a 'new normality' in the weeks and months ahead."

Throughout the years we've come to understand that each product is only as good as the customer's ability to use it, so we created a new type of e-commerce which we call educational commerce (or e-du commerce for short).
The concept is quite simple: we offer the necessary tools along with every product or service so every customer can understand it in depth. We are gradually introducing intro videos for each product and service, as well as detailed videos for those who want to know more about it.
We even created test procedures so we can practically collect quality information for products which are usually chosen subjectively based on a feeling rather than an understanding.
"The product is only as good as the user"
Our goal is to offer each product together with specialised education online, offline and hybrid.
In the end, each of our customers should be able to use our products as a master expert.
We became partners of some of the World leaders in different areas with the idea to present them to the Badminton World and integrate them fully into the daily business of Organisations. We figure it out that it is only possible if the coaches, administrators and even the badminton athletes can use those products at their full capacity. This is where we differentiate fully from all other resellers and companies on the market.
Each of the products of 1080 Motion robotics is unique on the market and together with our highly specialised videos with a detailed explanation how to use them for the cases of Badminton training becomes the ultimate solution for Sports Specific and Rehab training on the badminton market.
Visualcoaching Pro is amazing software, but together with the extra badminton educational videos, planning and periodisations and structures, diaries for badminton, becomes the Ultimate Planning and Periodisation tool.
ODOO ERP is out of the box software, one of the most complex systems available Worldwide.
Together with our customisations and our education, Odoo becomes easy to implement within 30 days!

How quickly they forget
Return to the Obsessions index
When I asked former Phonogram and A and M Chief Brian Shepherd - the man who broke Dire Straits and Def Leppard among many - why some artists get to the top and stay there while others fade away he responded 'Simple - they break up the team.'
Like any Formula 1 Champion, Premiership football club or blockbuster Movie success in music is a team effort. Teamwork is something which Americans take to like ducks to water and which the self-help books constantly espouse in their efforts to make Brits understand that without teamwork we will not compete on even terms.
Yet in the British Music Business there are still many slow to realise the importance of teamwork, and who still tend to deny the contributions of all the participants even when faced with overwhelming evidence.
Some facts:
UK sales in the US [the worlds biggest record market] have slumped by a staggering 90 percent in the last 17 years
They fell a further crushing 20 percent last year alone
Only 6 out of the RIAA list of 80 biggest selling CD's of all time did NOT involve an outside producer
And yet . . . The Brit Awards have no engineering, mixing or production categories, while the Grammies continue to recognise all these contributions.
Thereby hangs the tail: despite this doom scenario British Record companies seem increasingly happy to allow artists, the minute they achieve any success, to boot out the manager, band, co-writers, producer, engineer and all in order to take over the lot in the name of 'artistic control'.
The artist has entirely forgotten how they got there - the inspiration, musicianship, career guidance, shop minding, audio and project management of those around them. They want to write all the songs, play all the instruments, produce all the tracks and employ a salaried gofer as 'manager'.
This was dangerous enough when albums were still made in Commercial Studios with technical backup, good well-maintained equipment and experienced engineers, but at least this scenario allowed for some quality control and inspiration. Indeed many of these house engineers went on to have glittering careers as producers and make some legendary discs as the RIAA list shows - Hugh Padgum, Bob Roc, Glyn Johns and many more.
Now Pro-tools and the decline and fall of the UK Pro audio Studio makes the situation even more dangerous. An artist with his/her own gear out back, no producer, engineer or co musicians has an infinite capacity to produce crap - and who's going to stop them? Not an A and R officer told to indulge their every whim, and not a record company driven by short-term cash savings and run by inexperienced office workers with no idea of what making a great record involves.
By contrast the US still makes its important records in Class A facilities and seldom dreams of handing over $250,000 to an unsupervised and unencouraged artist. The producer's role is understood as clearly as is that of the Movie director i.e. pivotal.
An artist can only ever show the world what they are; a producer's job is to show what they could be. The people who benefit the most are the artists themselves could they but see it: does anyone demote David bowie, the Beatles, Marvin Gaye, Elton John, Michael Jackson and Madonna to second division behind Floyd and Zeppelin just because the first group of dudes had producers? No, only in the minds of the artist and of a few musical snobs is this important.
I have just been watching the Grand Prix. I wonder what the reaction from public and media would be to Alonso's announcement that next season he will be designing his own car, building his own engine and running his own Race Team from his bedroom - as well, of course, as driving the car. Or Brad Pit stating that he felt 'artistically compromised' by directors producers, cameramen, scriptwriters, makeup artists and other actors and from now on he would be taking over all these roles including production and direction with his new apple Mac Movie wizard package. Incredulity from the press, laughter from the public and suicide from his agent.
Of course there are and always will be exceptions; artists who have the built in objectivity to craft their own work successfully; Jimmy Page, Pink Floyd, Clint Eastwood but they are rare indeed and all these had a legendary team around them.
US Record companies and crucially artists themselves as Americans thrive on the team effort and heap praise on those around them as witnessed at the melodramas of the Grammy and Oscar acceptance speeches, and the sidemen and women get their moment in the sun.
Come on Britain, let's get it on. Let's compete at the highest level again. Let's spend money on good artists working in good facilities with a good production team around them, whether they like it or not. Lets not allow a cottage industry of chancers in the bedroom with their Pro-tools and Pizzas to think they can take on the Americans. It's a no win deal.

When going through security scanners, don't send your carry-on through the detector until you know you will be the next to walk through. Keep an eye on the bag at all times.
Don't put all your money in one place. When you shop, split your spending money up and put it in several different places. Always put some in a pocket that is inside a jacket or next to your skin. This way, if you are pick-pocketed, you will still have some money.
Leave extra credit cards and keys, as well as expensive jewelry, at home.
Photocopy the opening pages of your passport that show your name and number. It will make replacement easier if you lose your passport. Be sure to keep them in separate places.
A fanny pack identifies you as a tourist. Instead place valuables in hidden pockets that provide security without showing where your valuables are located.
Be aware of what is going on around you. If you notice someone following you, step into a store or hotel.
When checking into a hotel request a room that is not on the first floor (if possible) as they are not the most secure. Rooms that have sliding doors leading into a pool area are nice, but they also increase your risk of being broken into.
How do I get back to the hotel? Better safe than sorry! When traveling to an unfamiliar place, especially to another country, keep a business card or a piece of paper with your hotel's address and phone number on it. If you do get lost or separated from your group, you can show a cab driver the address and be taken back to your hotel safe and sound.
