The cast film process involves the extrusion of polymers melted through a slot or flat die to form a thin, molten film. We typically speak of a film when its thickness is below 1 mm. Thicker materials (> 1 mm) are sheets. These thin plastic membranes are used to separate areas or volumes, to hold items, to act as barriers, or as printable surfaces. As most plastics can be formed into a thin film, the non-exhaustible materials list covers PE, PP, Polyester (e.g. BoPET), Nylon, Polyvinyl chloride, PVC, Polycarbonate and PLA as well as a variety of bioplastics and biodegradable plastics. The use of coextrusion is on the rise, simultaneously extruding multiple materials from a single die to form a multi-layered film. This responds to the need for plastic films offering a performance that cannot be achieved by films composed of a single material.
With rising global population and disposable income, plastic films are finding increasing applications in packaging as well as in non-packaging sectors globally. In packaging, plastic films are used in food, pharmaceuticals, personal care, industrial and other applications. Today, plastic films are extensively used in flexible packaging. In non-packaging, plastic films find applications in agriculture, construction, medical and health care, consumer goods, and others.
Asia-pacific is the key market for plastic films with more than 30% of global market share, fuelled by the rising middle class in China and India. North America and Europe are experiencing slow growth in the sector, with specialty films and biodegradable films slowly gaining importance.
The cooling in the extruded film process is much more efficient than that of blown film. This results in higher production rates with superior optical properties of the product. As the degree of draw and orientation is significantly lower in the cast film process than in the blown film process, the thickness distribution in cross direction is more uniform with cast processes. However, thickness measurement solutions of Hammer-IMS, connected in closed-loop, control the extrusion process to achieve and maintain film thickness variations between 1.5 and 3%.
To support high-width production, plastic cast film manufacturers can decide on the frame length of the Marveloc 602-CURTAIN solution as well as the number of integrated measuring units. The traveling sensors ensure maximum coverage in cross-machine direction. That is the perfect strategy to detect local deviations, which generally correspond to individual screwing bolts of the extrusion die. Thickness measurement in flat film extrusion lines ensures high film quality and reduces the consumption of raw materials.
The M-Ray based measuring solutions of Hammer-IMS offer lower total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to conventional nuclear and radioactive measuring technologies. This is good news for manufacturers with the ambition to equip their production lines with faster and more accurate quality control.
The plastics conversion industry is highly-automated. Check out our technology section on which control loops Hammer-IMS can assist.

Compounds Found in Kratom Can be Dangerous According to the FDA
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the Commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration, put out a warning to the public about the herbal supplement kratom. Gottlieb's statement said, "There is no evidence to indicate that kratom is safe or effective for any medical use."
The kratom plant is native to Malaysia and its leaves are usually crushed and made into tea for pain treatment. It has also been used to treat heroin and morphine dependence to help reduce withdrawal cravings. The American Kratom Association claims that there are 3 to 5 million users in the United States.
Kratom is loosely regulated by the FDA and can be purchased from head shops and gas stations. It is generally sold as powders, pills, capsules, and even energy drinks.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, calls about kratom to poison control centers increased tenfold over a 5 year span. Although most of the calls were made to report minimal side effects, 7% of the calls were for serious side effects, including one death.
However, concerns from the FDA have grown since its Adverse Event Reporting System revealed that 44 deaths were associated with kratom. The Drug Enforcement Administration announced its intentions to temporarily list kratom as a Schedule I controlled substance back in 2016. But after push back from the public and members of Congress, the DEA pulled back on its plan. Instead, the DEA called for a scientific review from the FDA. Although the DEA has not taken any subsequent actions, kratom is still listed as a drug of concern.
A statement made by the FDA said the agency is "ready to evaluate evidence that could demonstrate a medicinal purpose for kratom. However, to date, we have received no such submissions and are not aware of any evidence that would meet the agency's standard for approval."
Have you or loved one experienced medical complications after taking kratom supplements? If so, you should immediately consult with our team of attorneys to discuss how we can assist with your case.

OVERSEAS WRESTLEMANIA, CHAIRSHOTS TO THE HEAD, HONOR CLUB AND MORE
It's up to you: First overseas Wrestlemania. Where are you going?
Hate burst your bubble but I am not doing it. WWE is a US first company. The largest audience is here, by far. If you go to Western Europe, it's 5 hours ahead of the east coast of the US. They can't start a show at midnight in the UK. Australia is 16 hours ahead of the east Coast so you have a similar problem.
When I see Edge matches with a chair shot to the head, he seems to swing it across the head where it "grazes" the head, instead of straight onto the head. Was this his way of trying to avoid CTE/Concussion problems?
That's what every smart wrestler should do. They should never do what Sammy Guevara and Bryan Danielson did.
What do you think of Tyrus as NWA champ?
Does it really matter? The NWA is just there. With that said, the audience seems to loathe him so if I were running a promotion with as small of a following as the NWA has, I would give them a champ that they like.
On July 16 Ring of Honor announced that they were going to revamp HonorClub. They said they would launch in early fall 2022. About a month later access was cut off to HonorClub. It's nearly mid November, well past early fall in my mind. Have you heard any news when HonorClub will return?
That is a Tony Khan call but my guess is we won't see it return until ROH can actually start generating new product. They need new content to sell the product and they don't have any.
At one point did Paul Heyman work with XPW and Rob Black?
Nope. Black wanted it though.

Astronomical spring is marked by the vernal equinox. I mark "entomological spring" when overwintered Eastern Tent Caterpillar (ETC) moth eggs hatch. That's why I always collect a few egg masses in late winter and hold them outside (in the shade) so I can monitor for this supernal event. It began happening today at around 12:00 p.m.

The rise of "mud chimneys" produced by Burrowing Crayfish has long been one of my favorite harbingers of spring. I've recently observed several of these mud edifices peaking just above turfgrass in southwest Ohio. While none had yet reached catastrophic lawn mower blade-bending size; spring is definitely in the air.
White Pine Weevil is one of our sneakiest conifer pests found in Ohio. Females spend the winter out of sight cooling their six heels in the duff beneath their pine or spruce targets. As temperatures warm in the spring, they climb their hosts to feed and lay eggs in the terminals. Sap oozing from small holes in the terminals is a calling card of this weevil.
Ant specimens collected in mid-November in southwest Ohio were confirmed by the USDA, APHIS to be Asian Needle Ants. This is not the first report of this ant being found in the U.S. However, it is the first confirmation of this non-native stinging ant being found in Ohio.
That May Not Be Snow on Those Alders!
BYGL reports become sparse at this time of the year with cold temperatures suppressing our subject matter. So, I was surprised last Thursday when I got an e-mail from John Martini, University of Cincinnati's Landscape Architect, with an image taken by UC Planner Joe Willging showing collections of white fluffy material on the branches of an alder (Alnus sp.).

Calico Scale spends the summer as crawlers attached to the main veins on the underside of leaves. Detection can be a challenge with crawlers distributed on foliage throughout the canopy. However, as fall approaches, the crawlers move onto stems where they spend the winter. Clusters of crawlers coupled with blackened stems are key diagnostic features for detecting a calico scale infestation.
I posted a BYGL Alert last week extoling the virtues of one of my favorite native trees, American Sycamore [see, Ode to the Buttonwood Tree, October 18, 2017]. I came across a soft scale that I had never seen before on sycamore while taking pictures to illustrate the Alert. I would have included my find in the Alert, but it took me a while to settle on an identification.
Boxelder Bugs were included along with several other notorious nuisance insects in my BYGL Alert titled, Fall Home Invaders are Poised to Enter (Sept. 30, 2017). They may have been poised then, but the bugs are now visiting homes en masse in southern Ohio. Indeed, I visited a home on Wednesday that was literally buggy with the bugs.

Bristly "woolly bear" caterpillars commence their annual crawl-abouts in search of sheltered winter quarters in the fall; it's usually sometime in September in Ohio. They may be found on sidewalks, walking trails, roadways, or on the walls of homes and buildings. However, insects are sometimes made most noticeable by their absence.

TOWSON, Md. – The Wesley College men's lacrosse team fell on the road 14-6 to the Goucher Gophers on Wednesday.
Joe Fingles netted two goals for the Wolverines. Josh Wassum notched a goal with three assists and three ground balls. Zach Farnell, Leo Kelly and Chris Smith each tallied a goal in the loss.
Joshua Short scooped up four ground balls and caused three turnovers on defense. Mitch Griffith picked up four ground balls.
James Cella stopped eight shots in 36 minutes in net while Dylan Sicca recorded three saves in his first collegiate action in goal in the loss.
Zephan Harnish had five goals and two assists for the Gophers.
The Wolverines will return to action next Wednesday when they take on the Hood Blazers. The road non-conference contest is set for 3:30 p.m.

At some level, there is nothing more important than how we use our time on our THPL journey. Every decision we make about how to use time affects what we get done, how we feel about our day, the impact that we have on our lives and the world. When we are casual with time the journey does not go along as intended and it is why we spend so much energy building plans, managing time, making the right tradeoffs and being really careful about the use of the hours we have in a day/week/month. And so, when "others" take time from us we have to be ready and prepared to make the best of it. It could be traffic, someone late for a meeting, a delay at an airport, they all have the same impact, we lose time to do the things that we have planned, and we have to address the change and also think about how we can adjust and make the best of it. We know that we cannot control everything and so if our attitude and perspective are what we can control then when the delay happens we should bring the best attitude, be ready to fill in with what we can do and just go with the flow. It is better to react well and make the best of it as it will make this part of the journey just that much better.

Financial Planning: Does Your Financial Plan Account for the Abundant Hopes and Dreams You Have for Your Child?
Financial Planning provides strategies for paying for the goals you have created in your loved one's Vision Plan. It also addresses the challenges of how to provide the necessary services and therapies determined by your Resource Plan.
In my 10+ years of experience in the planning industry, I have found that families often delay Financial Planning—not because they view it as unimportant—but because they feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and confused by the process. They are overwhelmed by the number of decisions that they know they need to make. These families soon become frustrated and confused because they don't understand which strategies would best benefit their family's unique situation.
You know Financial Planning is essential. With the right team of experienced advisors to guide you, your Financial Planning process can be easy, efficient, and affordable, allowing you to create a customized plan that prepares your family for the future, including the future of your child with special needs.
However, Financial Planning is FOURTH on my list of Special Needs Planning areas because this process is what funds the Vision, Life, and Resource Plans. Without these other three plans, your Financial Planning process will lack direction and intentionality. Completing these first three areas of Special Needs Planning before you create a Financial Plan will give your family motivation to continue planning. Like I tell everyone I speak with, when you have a strong enough "WHY" for planning, the "HOW" becomes much easier.
Like other areas of Financial Planning (e.g., retirement, college, long term health care), every individual has unique goals and needs. It is important to have a conversation with a professional who will be able to ask questions to help you uncover your family's unique intentions, opportunities, and challenges. By understanding your uniqueness—together—you and your financial professional will be able to develop meaningful strategies to help your family achieve financial success.
Life rewards action. While your thoughts, hopes, and intentions are useful, without action, you'll never complete your plan. I encourage you to reach out to a trusted advisor TODAY to begin having a conversation about planning financially for your family and loved one with special needs.
Now that you're familiar with a Financial Plan and understand why this area of planning is essential, you're ready to learn about the next step of the planning process: Creating a Legal Plan.
Don't miss the next post of this series: Day 6: Legal Planning: Are You Prepared for The Future? Age 18 and Beyond… where I'll explain the ins and outs of Legal Planning, including why you definitely don't want to skip this part of the planning process! Look for that post tomorrow around 2pm ET on my website (www.enablesnp.com/blog) or Facebook page (@ENABLEsnp)!

Ryder Cup trio to be honoured
Three men who masterminded Europe's triumph over the US in last year's Ryder Cup have been recognised in the Queen's birthday honours.
Leading player Lee Westwood will be heading to the palace alongside Rob Holt and Jim McKenzie.
Former world number one Westwood will be honoured with an OBE for his service to the sport over almost 25 years and for his part in the most recent Ryder Cup triumph.
Holt and McKenzie will receive an OBE and MBE respectively for their efforts in ensuring the course was ready to host the event and for the dedication to keeping the clash on track following torrential rain in Wales.
The Ryder Cup was extended into an extra day but it was down to the work of Holt, McKenzie and their respective teams in keeping the matches against the US bubbling to an exciting climax.
"It was a huge surprise when I found out I'd been awarded this honour," McKenzie revealed.
"I have managed to keep it a secret up until now though."

Violence Prevention & Social Norms
Develop a Social Norms Campaign
What are Social Norms?
Social norms refer to values, beliefs, attitudes, and/or behaviors shared by a group of people. They are often based on what people believe to be normal, typical, or appropriate. Social norms can function as unspoken rules or guidelines for how people behave, and for how people are expected to behave. People generally follow social norms because they want to fit in with the people around them.
Social norms can result in positive or negative outcomes. Sometimes social norms help people behave in ways that keep themselves - and others - safe and healthy.
A senior in high school is in her first serious relationship. She stopped spending time with friends and family and has been neglecting obligations like homework and piano practice. Her partner wants to be with her all the time, and demands to know where she is and who she is with when they aren't together. She likes the attention from her partner, but she doesn't know if her partner's behavior is normal or okay. She asks her friends about their relationships and learns that their boyfriends and girlfriends give them plenty of space to be independent. She decides to breakup with her partner before things get any more serious and unhealthy.
Other times, social norms can have the opposite effect, and can lead people to behave in harmful ways.
A man is playing with his daughter in a busy public playground. He notices a woman yelling at a young boy and violently shaking him by the shoulders. The man wants to stop her, but he looks around and sees that the other parents and caregivers are looking away from the woman, trying to 'mind their own business.' He doesn't want to do something that the others will disapprove of, so he does nothing.
Social Norms and Violence
Social norms can affect nearly any aspect of our lives. They contribute to our clothing choices, how we speak, our music preferences, and our beliefs about certain social issues. They can also affect our attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors related to violence.
The way we react to violence may be based on what we see other people do, or how we think other people would act. In other words, our reactions are based on what we believe is normal or appropriate.
A first grade teacher uses corporal punishment (i.e. physical punishment like spanking) to discipline her students. Her teachers used corporal punishment when she was in school, and she knows other teachers who use it in their classrooms. She doesn't think that corporal punishment is wrong.
Misperceptions
People often misperceive (or misunderstand) social norms and overestimate the number of people who behave in unhealthy ways or who accept unhealthy behavior. Researchers have studied college students' misperceptions of social norms related to alcohol use. They've found that most college students do not enjoy heavy drinking. However, they tend to think that heavy drinking is the norm among their peers and overdrink to fit in.
Misperceptions can be harmful when a person alters their own beliefs and behaviors based on a false assumption about other people's beliefs and behaviors.
A student hears his classmate teasing a girl during their lunch period. He notices that other students are laughing, and he assumes that the group thinks the teasing is ok. He doesn't realize that most of his classmates think the bullying is wrong, but are afraid to stand up to the bully. The next day, the student teases a boy on the school bus.
Narratives vs. Social Norms
People sometimes confuse social norms with narratives. Narratives are stories that groups tell to understand how the world works, why problems occur, and who's responsible for solving them. This differs from social norms, which are often unspoken and shape what people believe to be "normal."
Using the Social Norms Approach to Prevent Violence
The social norms approach, when used in the field of public health, motivates individuals and groups to adopt social norms that result in positive health and wellbeing.
This can be done by:
correcting misperceptions about social norms that lead to harmful attitudes, beliefs, and/or behaviors,
changing or modifying negative or harmful social norms, and
promoting positive social norms.
The social norms approach draws heavily on social marketing and health communications techniques. Some people refer to social norms work as social norms marketing. People and organizations create social norms campaigns to deliver messages designed to correct misperceptions, change social norms, or promote social norms.
When using a social norms approach, instead of telling people what to do, make sure to provide accurate information about attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that will allow them to adopt new, healthier social norms.
To develop a social norms campaign, follow the steps below.
1. Describe the problem.
Clarify what problem you want to address, who the problem affects, and the root causes of the problem. A clear problem description will help you decide how best to address the problem and whether or not a social norms approach is appropriate. It will also help you identify and characterize the audience you wish to affect. Guidance on how to describe your problem.
2. Collect data and identify social norms.
Collect information about your audience to better understand their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors related to the problem you are addressing (this is sometimes called market research, formative research, or audience research). Identify social norms that exist among the audience and identify any misperceptions between actual norms and perceived norms (i.e. the differences between people's actual behavior and how they think other people behave).
The information you collect during this step will provide baseline data and will help you identify strategies to reach your audience. Learn more about market research. More information about understanding your audience.
3. Develop a strategy.
Your strategy should clarify what you are aiming to achieve (e.g. change or promote a specific social norm and related attitudes, beliefs, and/or behaviors) and how this change will benefit your audience. Define your goals and objectives, and describe how you will achieve your goals (e.g. distribute messages via social media). Your strategy should include your dissemination plan (a dissemination plan is how you will distribute messages and materials to your audience). More guidance on developing a strategy.
4. Develop and test messages and materials.
Once you have a clear strategy, it is time to develop messages and materials. Before disseminating your campaign, be sure to test the messages and materials you develop with audience members to ensure that they are acceptable, appealing, understandable, and useful. Additional resources about testing messages and materials.
5. Disseminate messages and materials.
Once your messages and materials are complete, distribute them through channels that will reach your audience (e.g. display posters around a school, share messages on Facebook, distribute a link to a website). Learn more about channel selection.
6. Monitor activities and evaluate outcomes
Constant assessment of your campaign activities will allow you to see what is working so you can make adjustments as necessary. Once your campaign has ended, evaluate whether or not it had the desired effect on the audience. Discover more about deciding which components of the social marketing campaign to monitor and how to evaluate your public health programs and strategies.

Testing the NIRSpec Instrument on the Webb
This abstract image is a preview of the instrumental power that will be unleashed once the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope will be in space. The image was acquired during testing of the Near-InfraRed Spectrograph (NIRSpec) instrument, which is part of ESA's contribution to the international observatory. NIRSpec will be used to study astronomical objects focusing on very distant galaxies. It will do so by splitting their light into spectra – separating the light into components allows scientists to investigate what these objects are made of.
Created using one of the instrument's internal calibration lamps as the light source, the image shows many spectra as horizontal bands that were recorded by two detectors,. The wavelengths are spread from left to right; the pattern of dark stripes, called absorption lines, is characteristic of the light source, much like a fingerprint.
The image was produced by sending commands to open over 100 of the instrument's micro-shutters – minuscule windows the width of a human hair – that will be used to study hundreds of celestial objects simultaneously. The thin strips in the upper and lower parts of the image are spectra created by light that passed through the micro-shutters, while the thicker bands at the center of the images were produced by light that enters the instrument through five slits at the center.
Once in space, the micro-shutters will be opened or closed depending on the distribution of stars and galaxies in the sky.
This calibration image was obtained in 2017 during testing in the giant thermal vacuum chamber at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The tests demonstrated that the combined structure, comprising the Webb telescope and its four science instruments, operated flawlessly at temperatures of around –233°C, similar to those they will experience in space.
The telescope and instruments are now at Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems in Redondo Beach, California, where they will be integrated with the spacecraft and sunshield for further tests and launch preparations. The launch is targeted for 2020.

Opium and Rebellion
When the Chinese attempted to prohibit the opium trade, the British declared war. The Opium War lasted three years (1839–1842) and graphically demonstrated the superiority of British firepower and military tactics to those of the Chinese. China sued for peace and, in the Treaty of Nanjing, agreed to open five coastal ports to British trade, limit tariffs on imported British goods, grant extraterritorial rights to British citizens in China, and pay a substantial indemnity to cover the British costs of the war. Beijing also agreed to cede the island of Hong Kong (dismissed by a senior British official as a "barren rock") to Great Britain. Nothing was said in the treaty about the opium trade. Although the Opium War has traditionally been considered the beginning of modern Chinese history, it is unlikely that many Chinese at the time would have seen it that way. This was not the first time that a ruling dynasty had been forced to make concessions to foreigners, and the opening of five coastal ports to the British hardly constituted a serious threat to the security of the empire. Although a few concerned Chinese argued that the court should learn more about European civilization to find the secret of British success, others contended that China had nothing to learn from the barbarians and that borrowing foreign ways would undercut the purity of Confucian civilization. The Manchus attempted to deal with the problem in the traditional way of playing the foreigners off against each other. Concessions granted to the British were offered to other Western nations, including the United States, and soon thriving foreign concession areas were operating in treaty ports along the southern Chinese coast from Canton in the south to Shanghai, a bustling new port on a tributary of the Yangtze, in the center. In the meantime, the Qing court's failure to deal with pressing internal economic problems led to a major peasant revolt that shook the foundations of the empire. On the surface, the so-called Taiping Rebellion owed something to the Western incursion; the leader of the uprising, Hong Xiuquan, a failed examination candidate, was a Christian convert who viewed himself as a younger brother of Jesus Christ and hoped to establish what he referred to as a "Heavenly Kingdom of Supreme Peace" in China. Its ranks swelled by impoverished peasants and other discontented elements throughout the southern provinces, the Taiping Rebellion swept northward, seizing the Yangtze River port of Nanjing in March 1853. The revolt continued for ten more years but gradually lost momentum, and in 1864, the Qing, though weakened, retook Nanjing and destroyed the remnants of the rebel force. One reason for the dynasty's failure to deal effectively with internal unrest was its continuing difficulties with the Western imperialists. In 1856, the British and the French, still smarting from trade restrictions and limitations on their missionary activities, launched a new series of attacks against China and seized the capital of Beijing in 1860. In the ensuing Treaty of Tianjin, the Qing agreed to humiliating new concessions: legalization of the opium trade, the opening of additional ports to foreign trade, and cession of the peninsula of Kowloon (opposite the island of Hong Kong) to the British.

Only a young teenager, Mary had a startling and life-changing encounter. The angel, Gabriel, came to her to announce amazing news and promises.
She was to be the mother of the King of Israel who would sit on the throne of David forever and ever. Mary knew her Bible and knew that Jesus was the coming Messiah all faithful Jews were waiting for. She was to be the Messiah's mother! Wow! What a privilege and responsibility.
How would I respond if this were me? Pride; arrogance; wanting all the details and the plan laid out – these are only some of the feelings or thoughts that would run through my mind. How would you have responded? If you were Mary, what would you be thinking or feeling?
I am humbled at the response of Mary. She said: "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." Faith is as faith responds. Mary trusted the Lord's promises. She responded in her heart with obedience.
Lord, may I respond like Mary to your amazing promises.

Derren Brown: Engima.
DERREN BROWN: ENIGMA 2009 - 2010 Show Programme
Before the show starts, DB's voice is heard over the tannoy from backstage. He instructs people to write down three of their favourite things on a slip of paper and place it in a basket on the stage; there are only sixty slips of paper. DB comes on stage and asks someone on front row to pick a slip out (he is also given a dictionary in case any of the words are a little odd). He is to play a game of word disassociation with DB: he has to give five words unrelated to the first written word, and from those DB will discern what the word is. DB knows it is a word relating to music or a band but is unable to deduce it, so the spec tells him it is 'McFly'. The process is repeated for the second written word, this time with just three random words, and DB gets it correct.
DB gives a sealed envelope to a member of the audience to look after until the end of the show
DB reminds the audience of the game 'Guess Who?' in which one of twenty-four faces has to be identified by asking questions with a Yes/No answer; he is going to play his version: 'Guess Whom?' He uses frisbees to pick four members of the audience. DB explains that people who arrived at the show early had their photographs taken in the foyer. From these DB picked those which would be used in the evening's show. Each player has to pick one photo and remember the face and name and they are all then returned to the pack. DB then lays all the photos out on the table and the first spec puts her hand on his shoulder and DB asks questions to which she only thinks the answer: he duly identifies her chosen photograph. He then uses the next two specs who each place a hand on his shoulder and again after a series of questions, DB correctly identifies each person's photograph. The final spec stands facing DB and the photographed members of the audience stand up. After a series of questions DB eliminates all but one member of the audience and asks the spec to write the person's name down: it duly matches the last standing member of the audience.
DB returns to the player of word disassociation for the final word: he takes three random words but cannot work it out so leaves it temporarily.
DB got a woman up on stage and asked her to think of a childhood memory; the then gave a psychic reading in which he revealed her memory.
DB describes how he met a Russian woman who convinced the KGB and the CIA she could see through tin foil: she would demonstrate her skill by having someone wrap a playing card in foil, and then predicting (with 100% accuracy) whether the card was red or black; sometimes she would even be able to tell the value and suit of the card. DB perform this effect with a spec from the audience, accurately ging the value and suit of the card. He explains he was able to do this by using the reflection of the card in the tin foil. However, he continues that the Russian woman had always wanted to be able to really perfect this, and eventually she did. She revealed her secret to DB and although he could not reveal it to the audience he is able to demonstrate it. He duly tells the time of a spec's watch set to a random time and wrapped in tin foil, the value of a rolled die in tin foil and another value of a playing card, again in tin foil.
During this, a small table was placed on the stage, upon which stands a box covered by a cloth. DB asks for a female volunteer who has lost a grandparent; he ascertains the woman's name and the name of her deceased grandparent, in this instance, Doris. DB tells a story about his grandfather who had a locked box in his spare room the contents of which remained a mystery throughout his childhood. The woman is called to the stage and DB asks about her grandparent. DB returns to his story and says that after his grandfather's death, the only thing he wanted to keep as a reminder was the locked box. He produces a key and the volunteer is told to open the box. Within the box is another box, and the second box contains a brandy glass containing a ball of wool. The end of the wool is passed into the audience and the ball is unravelled; inside the wool is a smaller box which contains a coin on which the message 'In living memory of Doris' is engraved.
DB starts to talk about a task for the audience during the interval in which they have to vote for a random image of seven on display on the stage by marking their choice on a pad. He interrupts himself to return to the game of word disassociation: he writes a string of numbers on a card and asks the player for the final written word. The string of numbers relate to the page, column and word position in the dictionary of the final word.
DB gives the voting pad to a member of the audience to look after.
A binaural tone is played to the audience to identify good trance subjects and two people are selected: they are brought to the stage and blindfolded. DB talks about the way in which mediums used the trance states and shows an image of a woman balanced between two chair backs and the man is told to become rigid, and is balanced across two chairs in the same way. He is unblindfolded, and comes out of his trance. He is asked to comment on his experience and is returned to the audience.
A member of the audience is chosen at random, and asked to confirm the liquid in a vinegar bottle tastes like vinegar. DB pours the rest of the vinegar into a glass. While in a trance the female is told to drink the vinegar and enjoy it as refreshing drink: she does.
Still in a trance, the woman is given a card and a pencil and encouraged to write randomly on it. The card is place in an envelope and placed in her hand. She is unblindfolded and is told to walk through the audience to pick a new spec. The woman and the new spec come to the stage, she is brought out of her trance and the spec is told to empty all the money he has on him onto the table, add it up and announce the result. The spec opens the envelope and finds the number previously written on the card by the woman to match the cash total. The spec and the woman return to the audience and a trace-clearing tone is played.
DB introduces the spirit cabinet to the audience and picks two men from the audience to sit sentinel over the spirit cabinet on stage. One man is told to write the name of someone he is with on a piece of paper, the other man is told to write the name of someone he loves but is not in the theatre on his slip of paper. Both slips are placed into envelopes, initialled and held by the two men. They check the chair and table in the spirit cabinet and all is found to be normal. A woman who previously fell under the trance is selected and brought to the stage as the medium. DB puts a bell on the table in the spirit cabinet, places his medium into a trance and puts a bag over her head as a blindfold. The curtains of the spirit cabinet are drawn, DB asks if there is a spirit present if it will acknowledge its presence. The bell is heard to ring. The medium is brought out the trance and claims not have rung the bell. A ball and a glass are put on the table, and the medium's hand is placed over the glass's opening. The medium is blindfolded and the curtains closed. The bell rings and the curtain is opened; the medium's hand is still in position, but the ball is now inside the glass. The medium is brought out of the trance and claims not to have moved her hand. A chalk board is placed on the medium's lap and she is given a piece of chalk. Again she is put in a trance and blindfolded and the curtains are closed. The bell rings and sounds of the chalk board being written on are heard. The curtain is opened and there is scribble on the blackboard. The medium is brought out of the trance and claims not to have done the drawing. Two more blackboards are placed face to face on the medium's lap and the chalk is placed between them; she is returned to her trance and the curtains closed. One of the men is asked for his slip of paper, it is thrown into the spirit cabinet and he shouts out the name he wrote. The bell rings and the chalk is thrown out of the cabinet. DB opens the curtain, takes the blackboards and they have the shouted name written on them. The medium denies any knowledge. DB ties the medium's wrists and knees together and the two men also knot the rope. A tambourine is placed on the medium's arms; she is placed back in her trance and blindfolded. The curtains are closed. The tambourine is thrown out of the cabinet. The curtains are opened and the medium is still tied up denying throwing the tambourine. One of the men suddenly jumps up from his chair to the audience's amusement and his confusion. He stands in the cabinet holding another blackboard in folded arms and is blindfolded. The medium � still restrained � is given another tambourine, put in the trance and blindfolded. DB also puts some newspapers on the cabinet's table. The second man is asked to take his envelope out and he also stands in the cabinet with his hand on the blackboard and is told to shout the name passionately in his mind. He is also blindfolded and both men and put in a trance. DB closes the curtain. The tambourine rattles, paper is thrown out of the cabinet, the bells rings, the cabinet shakes and shouting is heard from within. DB opens the curtains. One of the blindfolds has a silly face drawn on it and the medium has the tambourine on her head. The men and the medium are woken up, and the medium is untied. The man holding the blackboard continues to hold it to him and the other man is finally asked to say the name of the person aloud. The blackboard is turned around and the name is shown to have been written.
DB talks about the cracking of the Enigma code and how it was done by the key factor of nothing human being random. The voting pad is totalled up while six men are picked by frisbee. Stickers with the numbers one to six are shuffled by one of the volunteers and randomly passed along the line. The six numbered men are told to stand in front of a lettered circle (A-F) on the stage at random. They are then told to reorder themselves randomly. A lady is picked by frisbee and brought on stage and asked for a letter between A and F. By shaking hands with the man associated with the letter she forms a psychic connection with him. DB gets three sets of pictures: he gives the woman one, places one at the front of the stage and gives each of his numbered pictures to the corresponding man. DB opens the woman's envelope and the pictures are shown to be the same as the ones shown in the interval. He shuffles them and asks her to pick one at random. She reveals her picture is an ice cream with matches the man with whom she has made a psychic connection's picture. Each man is asked to clip his picture to their letter on the stage. DB points out that there was two variables in this: the picture of the ice cream and the man's position. He opens the envelope at the front of the stage and it is shown to contain the matching details. Everyone is sent back to their seats. The most voted for picture is revealed as being the confetti and that is missing from the six on the stage. However, the man who was given an envelope to look after at the start of the show is asked to open it and he reads a prediction which says the most popular picture will be confetti. Two panels of seemingly random letters which have formed part of the set of brought together and shown to contain the message 'Choose the confetti'.
A film is shown and a woman introduces herself as DB's mother thanking the audience for coming and introducing a band to play the show out, who are called McFly. The song is clearly written for the occasion as it describes the process of the final effect but includes a lyric listing the pictures in the order in which they are displayed � apparently randomly � on stage.
As the clapping reaches its height, DB stops the audience and explains he did not have thousands of different versions of the song ready to play, but that he decided on the order of the pictures two years previously. He shows that the initial letter of each image � Egg, Needle, Ice cream, Goose, Moose, Apple juice � spells ENIGMA: the show's title.

On August 6-8, Western Michigan University (WMU) held their first Fiber Recycling Course at its Pilot Plants. WMU has one of the few paper engineering programs in the U.S. and the Pilot Plants are a scaled down facility where they can run tests to study a variety of aspects of paper making, including the recyclability of different feedstocks.
Lon Pschigoda, the general manager of the Pilot Plants, has spoken to the paper division at our board meetings in the past about their recyclability protocols, and worked with ISRI staff on an idea for a course on paper recycling to help newcomers to the industry learn more about its various aspects.
ISRI's Research Analyst for Commodities Bernie Lee gave a presentation about data analytics and specifications during the course. Other speakers included Michael Timpane, Bill Moore, Mike Lopane, Sandeep Kulkarni, and Charles Angle which represented a broad range of topics related to paper recycling.
With more than 50 attendees, the attendance exceeded expectations by far. They ranged from researchers to operations managers and packaging designers. Dart Containers, USG, and Fox River were some of the packaging producing companies with representatives present. Apple, Amazon, and HP also had attendees at the course who were the notable brands that were present there.
Overall, the event was very well received and WMU is interested in deepening its collaborations with ISRI. Many of the goals for the MRF Summit were also touched on at this course as well as reaching out and helping educate a newer generation of paper recycling professionals.
For more information on this program, contact Bernie Lee.


I'll always be a louche girl: The gentle sag of intentional volume, the shadows of creases, the unexpected appearance of skin, the visual freedom of I just don't care. All this was summed up by Stella McCartney's SS18 show which managed to both embrace decadence, luxury and hit high on practicality.
Surprise partnerships look evolutionarily natural.
Away from constrictions and restrictions it was loose lightness with a touch of fresh air.
Because it's always the best.
Tracy Reese is an older soul with youthful eyes who has the magic to make retro content spring to life.
She's not a label I know – after spotting her 2016 Fall collection I went to her website to learn more expecting a continuation of this subdued, edgy elegance – and was greeted with bright, hot pink and a style more reminiscent of a catalogue shop: The site needs a makeover, because this is a rich, deep vein she's uncovered.
She makes large shapes and floaty lines look feminine and easy.
All beautifully composed and perfectly remembered.
Cool has no age limit.
Accessorise Valentino with trainers and a jumper. Good to go.
Roaring back to the eighties..high waisted bleached jeans worn with pride.
The effortlessly hip Sarah Harris.
There's still room for humour.
And your Grandmothers dress can re-live again.
You remember why you love polka dots.
Double denim is so yesterday..
It's the little things that make the street style photos of fashion week so fascinating..the glint of an unusual piece of jewellery sparkling in the sun, a plait of hair coiled like a blonde horsewhip on a cashmere shoulder..or just a casual chic humour that brings an outfit together in a shower of golden sparks..
This year is the celebration of the unexpected..like a jumper dress with tights, socks and trainers..
A soft, black, leather bow..
Chic shearling with buckles and straps.
A piece of gold and a flash of pink.
This one is specially for Dievca..
Awesome earrings and a palette of grey.
Sometimes it good to stand outside the circle.
I've been looking at all the pictures coming in of New York in the snow..
But hey – it's Fashion Week! It's New York! It's an inspirational combination!
Ladies, tres tres chic…but please,Why isn't your pristine fur covered in clinging wet slush? Your tights ripped – your knees gashed? Your bottoms blue?
I love it!…but I have to ask – don't your toes get cold?
You left in a hurry…but it's not worth getting hyperthermia for…just put them on.
You too – I'll actually be able to see your feet turning blue. You can wear gloves? So why not something decent for your poor feet?
These could either be a rare pair of socks. Or an extreme form of fashionista gangrene.
1. To be a fly on a wall to see if these people can actually move. Safely. In a dignified manner. More than 2 feet.
2. If they can shuffle walk – To be magically enhanced with whatever biological gene/super power they have that I am certainly lacking. Snow or no snow.


On Christmas Eve, 1863, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote these words while still mourning his wife's death and aiding with his son who had been wounded in the Civil War. These words ring of comfort, hope, and peace. To a war-torn audience from the already famous poet, Longfellow's poem landed upon lives desperately needy of the hope echoed though each line.
Only, the peace Longfellow alludes to rings hollow. You see, he was not a believer in Jesus. His Unitarian beliefs did not grapple with a world fallen into the throws of great sin requiring a great Savior. He looked hopefully to the mountain side on the night of Jesus' birth to grasp the powerful words, "Peace on earth, good will to men!" yet tragically stopped short in his own life to look further into the manger where the One bringing that peace was born. He stopped short of Jesus.
The shepherds who received good news of great joy that night on a quiet hillside didn't stop short of Jesus. They heard every word the angels proclaimed that joyful night and rushed to the manger to find the King born in a lowly stable. The Wise Men who journeyed from a distant land didn't stop short of Jesus. An arduous journey and a deceptive king did not keep them from finding and worshipping the King and Savior.
Unfortunately, like Longfellow, many today stop short of Jesus each Christmas season. The commercialization of Christmas distracts too many from the true Gift born over 2000 years ago and laid into a humble manger. The woeful need for "peace on earth" when so much unrest exists discourages many others from looking for the One God promised to bring it. Still others, just like Longfellow, crave the promise of peace but refuse to see that Peace has a name–Jesus!
Please don't stop short of Jesus this Christmas. Don't miss the greatest Gift. Don't settle for hollow hope. Don't be satisfied with mere pieces of peace. Don't hold to only morsels of the message. Listen to all of it.
15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
Peace has a name. Jesus. Don't stop short of Him!
Lottie Moon: Pray, Give, Go!
On Christmas Eve, 1912, Lottie Moon passed from this world into her heavenly reward. As a missionary to China, she relentlessly and selflessly gave herself to God's call on her life. Indeed, she died in part because she gave her rations to the starving children she felt so indebted to reach. Decades of loving the Chinese, teaching the gospel, and giving of herself for the people she loved culminated in the ultimate expression of sacrifice.
More than a century later, her life and influence still echo in the hearts of men and women responding to God's call to overseas missions. Each Christmas, Southern Baptists turn their attention to her story for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. And while many Southern Baptists know of Lottie Moon, few may know the names of Martha Crawford, Edmonia Moon, and R.B. Headden. Yet, God used each one to help sound the call to China for Lottie.
Martha Crawford had been working in China with a school that Lottie began to financially support shortly after she became a Christian.
Lottie's younger sister, Edmonia, had already gone to China as a missionary and corresponded with her pleadingly to come to China with her.
Her pastor R.B. Headden preached a sermon one Sunday from John 4:35 on the fields ready to harvest. She would commit to go to China shortly afterward attributing this sermon as instrumental in God's call upon her.
God use the influence of all three of these relationships to call Lottie Moon to a lifetime of service for him overseas.
I'm grateful that the annual Lottie Moon Christmas offering gives churches all across the Southern Baptist Convention the opportunity to again turn our gaze to missionary heroes like her and to give generously to support International Mission Board work all over the world. But it's not just Lottie that we should reflect upon this time of year. We should also consider the important influence that R.B. Headden, Edmonia Moon, and Martha Crawford had upon her as well. Each one, in their unique way, has an eternal investment in the lingering influence of Lottie Moon more than 100 years later. They beckon us to see that it's not only the missionaries who are important to God's kingdom work, but the supporters and senders. They remind me that all can pray, most can give, and some can go.
For my church family at Pleasant Garden Baptist Church, we will receive our Lottie Moon Christmas offering on Sunday, December 9. I'm praying for a generous offering that Sunday. But I'm also praying that God would raise up another generation of senders, supporters, and goers. The kingdom work beckons, "Pray! Give! Go!" Will you?
*If you or your church would like to give directly to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, you may do so here.
Just a few months ago when Pleasant Garden Baptist Church called me to follow Mike Barrett as pastor, I couldn't have imagined the impact he would have on me in such a short period of time. I have been blessed to be around and serve with many good and godly pastors along the way. Until July 2018, I had never been around one quite like Mike Barrett.
I know I've never been around anyone with the energy and metabolism of Mike. Diet Mountain Dew, a couple pieces of chocolate, and a go-go-go energy has bounced all around Greensboro and the Pleasant Garden community and even worldwide on mission trips where he's scattered Jesus' love everywhere he's been.
What I couldn't have imagined when my family and I arrived was the quick, deep, and prayer-shaped friendship we would develop in only a few short months. Weekly, we've gathered to pray together, for each other, and for our respective ministry futures. He's walked me through many of his approaches to ministry. He's let me talk. He's given encouragement and direction. He's also done something that I respect tremendously and know must not have been easy. While we've overlapped, he's taken steps back more and more to let me lead. For the pastor, shepherd, preacher, and leader of 31 years to step behind me while he's led and served so faithfully and admirably has been perhaps his greatest gift to me. He's set me up for such success. Why? Well, take a look back at that first trait—no pretense.
In our celebration of his tenure, we outlined our service with the acronym, "Mpact," calling attention to the mark he's left on countless people through "missions," "prayer," "action," "compassion," and "truth" in his pastorate at Pleasant Garden. I know this. He's made and indelible mpact on me. If, 30 plus years from now, I have had half the influence of Michael Barrett, I'll have considered myself immeasurably successful in ministry.
As he transitions from Pleasant Garden Baptist this week to a new season as our local missions strategist, I'm looking forward to watching his future ministry grow even more. I know this: wherever he serves, he will leave an mpact. And a slew of chocolate wrappers, an empty Diet Mountain Dew bottle or two, and a string of people who've come to know Jesus because of his work.
Thanks Mike for your mpact!

Book Expo America 2013
It's hard to explain the absolute joy and excitement that comes in May when NYC hosts BEA at the Javitz Center.
I'd discovered BEA nearly 3 years ago through some of the early book bloggers. Years later, some of them have published several books, organized the book blogger convention, and have solidly established themselves.
I, myself, I've mainly read some amazing books, discovered new authors (or established authors that are new to me) and genres that are new to me (YA), made some wonderful friends. I've also learned much more about publishing and the business of books - although it still seems more magical than a business to me.
Sourcebooks's Authors Are My Rock Stars captures it perfectly!
Part of the magic of BEA is all the book related items, some for sale and much given away.
Being surrounded by people who eat, drink, live books is the best part. There's the craziness with the early morning trek to Javitz. By my second year, I had friends that I'd meet and line up with. We'd compare the books we wanted to read and authors we wanted to meet or listen to speak. This year, I'm hoping to meet Lisa Scottoline and pick up a copy of her new book Accused. When I was at University of Pennsylvania Law and reviewing for the bar, my mother introduced me to Scottoline's series of young, spirited, lawyers living in Philadelphia. Then and now, her books were a huge escape for me.
Louis Penny is an author that I discovered at my first BEA and I've since read every single book of hers. Meeting her will be one of the highlights of my BEA 2013.
Reading, looking around, finding books that I'll want to share and talk about - and talking about books with people equally excited. That's what I'm looking forward to this BEA.
Inspector Pekkala Mysteries by Sam Eastland
I recently came across the first Inspector Pekkala mystery when browsing through the NYPL's audiobooks. I regularly look for books to occupy myself during the long trips from NY to Boston and for my walks around Brooklyn.
I've filled my iPhone with more books than I can listen to - an embarrassment of riches. But it's the wide choices and free access to audiobooks that has allowed me to sample and come across gems. My latest favorite find has been Inspector Pekkala - a character created by Sam Eastland.
Inspector Pekkala is a Finn, who began his career in the Royal Finnish Guards and was discovered by Tsar Nicholas Romanov and trained to serve as an independent detective. He is a man unlike any other in that he is not motivated by greed, power, or anything beyond the desire to perform the task for which he was born - to seek the truth. The Tsar has a deep respect for Pekkala and creates a position specially for him and Pekkala is known as the Emerald Eye. The Emerald Eye has unlimited power and authority to investigate anyone and arrest anyone - no one is above his reach, even the Tsar.
The first book in the series opens with the end of the Romanovs. Inspector Pekkala is the last of his kind, the only of his kind and is in the outskirts of the gulag in Siberia. He's been given a task that usually kills prisoners within 6 months but he's on his 8th year of his sentence of marking trees in the forest. He is surprised to find a young political agent by his cottage - and orders from the political office calling Pekkala back to civilization.
We discover that Pekkala is a legend in his time - respected by the people and by his enemies. Even Stalin recognizes Pekkala's value and it is this that calls him back for a special mission. Stalin orders Pekkala to find out whether the Romanovs survived, to catch the assassins who may have murdered the Romanovs and to find the Romanov treasure. Stalin promises that if Pekkala finds the bodies and solves the mystery, he will have won his freedom.
There are uneasy alliances, unexpected treachery, and long hidden clues. Pekkala must return to places and relationships that had ruled their lives.
What is it that makes Eye of the Red Tsar and the Inspector Pekkala mysteries so addictive? Sam Eastland recreates a lost world with great attention to detail. Reading Eye of the Red Tsar, I kept researching the Romanov family, Stalin, the Russian Revolution. After learning the small details of Inspector Pekkala's world, I wanted to know how much of the story was real and how much Sam Eastland created.
The characters are fully fleshed out, sympathetic, and fascinating. Pekkala has an amazing memory, unparalleled skills of detection and survival, and a deep loyalty to his friend and master Tsar Nicholas and the Romanov family. The loyalty and courage that Pekkala displays are just another sign of his exceptional character. Like many of the unforgettable detectives (Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Sherlock Holmes, Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce, Louise Penny's Chief Inspector Gamache), Sam Eastland's Inspector Pekkala is larger than life, brilliant, and charismatic. It's hard to overemphasize just how fun the series is - I do recommend you discover for yourself!

Retaining the Hope That Rejection Promises: Why Sunbeam is a Light That Should Not Be Followed
Benjamin H. Roth
Sunbeam Products, Inc. v. Chicago American Manufacturing, LLC incorrectly altered the remedies available to a trademark licensee after a debtor licensor has rejected the license. Decided in July 2012, this decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit conflicts with decisions going back more than twenty-five years, when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit decided Lubrizol Enterprises, Inc. v. Richmond Metal Finishers, Inc. During that span of time, licensees had a single remedy upon rejection of the license: damages in the way of an unsecured prepetition claim. Licensees were not granted specific performance, and were not permitted to continue using the trademark or retain any other rights under the license, save for the claim for damages. Congress had granted guaranteed specific performance to the licensee of a patent, copyright, or trade secret through 11 U.S.C. § 365(n). However, when Congress enacted § 365(n) in 1989, Congress explicitly and unequivocally excluded trademark licenses from the protection of that provision. In July 2012, the Seventh Circuit held in Sunbeam that because trademark licensees are not protected by § 365(n), the Bankruptcy Code is silent as to the rejection of a trademark license. A licensee was granted the right to continued use of the trademark, just as that remedy would be available outside of bankruptcy. Ideal as this holding may be, this Comment argues it is contradictory to a careful examination and interpretation of the law as it applies, and historically has been applied. Fundamentally, allowing a trademark licensee to retain its rights is a de facto order of specific performance on a trademark owner, but when that owner is a debtor in bankruptcy, specific performance should not be available against it. In short, Sunbeam should not be given any weight going forward. A licensee should be limited to a prepetition claim for damages, only.

The second edition of the "most famous colorplate book of American plant and animal life ... a fundamental and original work for the study of American species" (Hunt). A beautiful and vastly important work by the founder of American ornithology, this book embodies the most impressive record made during the colonial period of the natural history of an American colony and is the most significant work of American natural history before Audubon.
Trained as a botanist, Catesby travelled to Virginia in 1712 and remained there for seven years, sending back to England collections of plants and seeds. With the encouragement of Sir Hans Sloane and others, Catesby returned to America in 1722 to seek materials for his Natural History; he travelled extensively in Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and the Bahamas, sending back further specimens. His preface provides a lengthy account of the development of this work, including his decision to study with Joseph Goupy in order to learn to etch his copper plates himself to ensure accuracy and economy. The end result is encyclopaedic: Catesby provides information not only on the botany and ornithology of the area, but also on its history, climate, geology and anthropology. Catesby writes in the preface of his method of working: "As I was not bred a Painter, I hope some faults in Perspective, and other niceties, may be more readily excused: for I humbly conceive that Plants, and other Things done in a Flat, if an exact manner, may serve the Purpose of Natural History, better in some Measure, than in a mere bold and Painter-like Way. In designing the Plants, I always did them while fresh and just gathered: and the Animals, particularly the Birds, I painted while alive (except a very few) and gave them their Gestures peculiar to every kind of Birds, and where it could be admitted, I have adapted the Birds to those Plants on which they fed, or have any relation to. Fish, which do not retain their colours when out of their Element, I painted at different times, having a succession of them procured while the former lost their colours... Reptiles will live for many months...so that I had no difficulty in painting them while living" (Vol.I, p.vi). The first edition was published in ten parts, with the final part appearing in 1743, plus the twenty plate appendix, which was issued four years later. Work appears to have begun on the present second edition almost immediately, if not simultaneously with the publication of the Appendix in 1747. According to Stafleu & Cowan, the second edition was published between 1748 and 1756. Recent discoveries have suggested that there are multiple issues of the second edition, including early issues that may partly be comprised by sheets from the first edition. The present set includes the first twenty text leaves in their corrected state. Unusually, the present set includes the Catesby's famous image of the magnolia against a black background on a full untrimmed sheet, folded and inserted as a double-page plate; this plate is nearly always trimmed close or into the image and inserted as per the other plates, making the present set especially desirable. This set with esteemed provenance to Duke Georg Alexander of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, the eldest son of Duke Georg August of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and of Grand Duchess Catherine Mikhailovna of Russia, from the library at Mikhailovsky Palace in St. Petersburg.

What's Keeping Trump from Ratifying a Climate Treaty Even Republicans Support?

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said his plans to assume sweeping new powers do not make him a dictator.Erdogan, in an interview to CNN on Tuesday, said a constitutional reform package -- backed by a narrow majority of Turkey's voters in a referendum earlier this week -- was not about him.Turkish voters on Sunday passed an 18-article constitutional reform package that will transform the country's parliamentary system into a powerful executive presidency. The plan, put forward by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), gives Erdogan sweeping and largely unchecked powers, including appointing members of the top judicial body, top public officials, ministers and assign one or several Vice Presidents.Under the revised constitution, Erdogan will also be able to abolish the post of Prime Minister and will have authority to annul Parliament and declare an election. "I am a mortal really, I could die at any time," Erdogan said during the interview.
He rejected accusations that he supported the new powers out of a desire to empower himself rather than improve Turkey's political system. "The system represents a change, a transformation in the democratic history of Turkey," he said.Erdogan denied claims that the new reforms were a step towards dictatorship. "Where dictatorships exist, you don't have to have a presidential system," he said."Here we have a ballot box... the democracy gets its power from the people. It's what we call national will."The margin of victory for the "Yes" vote was razor-thin. Despite a state of emergency and a widespread crackdown on dissent, Erdogan succeeded in persuading only 51.4 per cent of voters to back the constitutional reforms, reported CNN.
Despite the narrow margin, Erdogan said "a win was a win".On Monday, international election monitors delivered a scathing verdict on the conduct of the referendum. Representatives from a coalition of international bodies said the vote took place on an "unlevel playing field", with the "yes" campaign dominating media coverage.Addressing Turkey's long-stalled bid to join the European Union (EU), Erdogan accused member states of the regional grouping of failing to keep their side of the bargain. The EU had "made us wait at its door for 54 years", Erdogan said."If they do keep their promises, we can sit down. We can see which steps are to be taken," he said.Unlike European leaders who expressed reservations about the referendum, US President Donald Trump telephoned Erdogan to congratulate him. The call was well received by Erdogan, who suggested taking things further."It would be better to have (a) face-to-face meeting and take our relationship forward," he said.

Night at the Museum, With Manhattan Music School
March 12, 2015 - Musical Musings
Manhattan Music School: Let's Meet at the Met!
What are your plans for the upcoming weekend? We suggest you spend some time at one of the most amazing New York institutions, the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Among so many wonderful and varied exhibits is a small one that has caught our attention: entitled "Painting Music in the Age of Caravaggio," the three artworks – on display until April 5th – portray musical performances depicted by three Baroque artists.
Caravaggio's "The Musicians" (1595), Valentin de Boulogne's "The Lute Player" (1626), and Laurent de La Hyre's "Allegory of Music" (1649) remind us of how different the concerts used to be hundreds of years ago.
For the contemporary audiences, accustomed, as we are, to music that is piped, streamed, and available on demand anytime of day and night, it may be difficult to imagine that until a century ago, music could only be heard live by small groups of (mostly privileged) people.
Music fit for a king
It's certainly a good thing that symphonies, philharmonics, and all the other kinds of music performances are now widely accessible to people everywhere. But it wasn't always like this; in fact, for much of the history, "orchestras" and "concert music" consisted of small groups of musicians who played at religious celebrations, festivals, holidays, and similar occasions, using whatever instruments were available to them.
Until the end of the Baroque period, concerts were private affairs – musicians performed for their patrons and sponsors rather than for general public. Even Mozart, whose lifetime spanned the Classical era that followed the Baroque, spent his early years playing for his royal patrons. Interestingly enough, as a teenager, he spent three years traveling throughout Europe and performing at royal courts for various kings, queens, and other nobility. It certainly brings a different meaning to what we now think of as a "concert tour!"
Orchestrating change
The notion of a modern orchestra that performs in a concert hall for the ticket-paying audience started only at the beginning of the 19th century. As a matter of fact, Beethoven debuted his Symphony No. 1 in C major at the Royal Imperial Theater in Vienna on April 2, 1800.
In those days, the strings gained prominence in a standard orchestra, and the keyboard instruments had become less important. The new trend that had developed during this time was for composers to write music for the specific instrument.
Over time, as orchestras became bigger and encompassed new instruments, many composers started to write specifically for sizable ensembles; some of them, like Wagner, Verdi, and Berlioz, became conductors as well.
And just to think that this trip down the musical memory lane was sparked by three oil paintings hanging at the Met!
Start practicing!
As New Yorkers, we are lucky to have so many great orchestras and musical venues. However, keep in mind that, as Jack Benny famously noted, the only way to get to Carnegie Hall (as a performer, not a spectator), is to practice, practice, and practice!
We can certainly help you with that. Whatever musical instrument you have your heart set on – guitar, violin, cello, or any other – we'll match you with a terrific teacher. He or she will come to your Manhattan, Brooklyn or Riverdale home or office to give you Carnegie-worthy lessons!

This American Life might be one of my favorite podcasts/radio journalism formats of all time. I am dating myself, but I remember listening to NPR and timing drives so I could catch the show when it aired. It's a weekly public radio program and podcast; each week they choose a theme and put together different kinds of stories around it. Ira Glass is the show's creator and narrator and is a master of the storytelling format. I recently listened to an interview with him and he's produced over 600 (!) episodes of This American Life and he also is behind the ever popular Serial podcast, which as of September 2018, had been downloaded 340 million times.
I've always thought of Ira Glass as an extremely talented radio journalist, but it turns out he had to work at it like anything else, it wasn't just talent. Like everything, practice, mastery, hard work and grit are key here. You have to just do the work to get good at it. Put those deadlines in your planner, and finish one thing. Who knows where that may lead you.
