How can I submit my work for review?
The ICA does not develop its exhibition program from unsolicited submissions, and we regret that our resources do not allow for curatorial review of these projects. We appreciate your interest and your understanding.

With KPN announcing plans for nearly all of its parts and resources to be reusable or recyclable by 2025, vendors are upping their sustainability roadmaps. If larger operators follow KPN's lead, argues GlobalData Technology, the entire telecommunications industry may finally catch up with other industries that have embraced sustainability much more aggressively
Dutch network operator KPN, which provides mobile and fixed-line service to nearly 40 million customers in The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France and Spain, caused a stir in October, announcing an aggressive environmental initiative that could become a model for operators looking to beef up their "sustainability" credentials.
That initiative, dubbed the "Circular Manifesto" details KPN's goal of minimizing its carbon and environmental footprint even as data traffic on its networks continues to grow exponentially. As part of its sustainability initiatives, KPN announced agreements with numerous vendors that provide KPN's network equipment, conferencing solutions, set-top boxes, and modems, as well as additional vendors that specialize in providing refurbishing and recycling services. KPN is pressuring its vendors to make infrastructure that is more durable and longer lasting, uses fewer raw materials, and is built in such a way that by 2025 close to 100% of the parts and resources can be reused or recycled.
This isn't KPN's first embrace of sustainability – the company reports that it has been "climate neutral" since 2015, and has lowered its energy consumption for six consecutive years despite an 8x increase in data volume on its networks during that time. The "Circular Manifesto" is just the next step in what has been an ongoing focus area as it moves to embrace a "circular economy."
The concept of the "circular economy" isn't new: since as early as 1976, economists have used the term to describe an environment in which resources are used for as long as possible, the most efficient technologies are deployed and renewable resources and materials are utilized where viable. According to the Ellen Macarthur Foundation, circular systems provide a systemic alternative to increasingly unsustainable "linear" (make, use, dispose) approaches. However, until recently this line of thinking had been more common in verticals like retail and auto manufacturing. By contrast, sustainability initiatives in the telecommunications industry have been much more limited, inconsistent, and largely vendor-driven, motivated as much by competitive reasons as altruistic ones.
KPN's "Circular Manifesto" is likely to change that. Now that KPN has taken this ambitious step, it is a good bet that other operators are likely to follow suit, both as a show of corporate compassion and also to help drive down operational costs. If so, then true, long-term, industry-wide change may finally be coming. With seven telecommunications vendors already signed on, including major vendors such as Ericsson, Huawei, ZTE, HPE, and Arris, mobile and fixed networks are likely to be increasingly built with a short-term focus on improving capacity, throughput and customer satisfaction – but a long-term focus on sustainability.

ELITES'S COMET PIZZA RING HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BRING THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT DOWN
November 22, 2016 Truth Teller
Disturbing allegations have arisen on many alt media websites concerning a secret society which is being referred to as the 'DC Paedophile Ring'. It has been alleged that there is a pedophile ring operating in Washington DC that can count many of the most powerful and important figures on the American political scene among its members.
These highly controversial allegations center on several pizza parlors in Washington, DC which are connected via an intricate and extensive underground tunnel system where these sickening acts are taking place.
It has been said that the incriminating information about the DC Paedophile Ring has stemmed from the content of the hacked emails of Podesta which were published on Wikileaks. Podesta is one of the best-connected men in Washington DC who served a key role in the presidential bid of Hillary Clinton and also served as her husband's, former President Bill Clinton, chief of staff when he was in office.
Apparently, the trail of incrimination leads to many other powerful figures in Washington, DC including the President, Barrack Obama and the Vice President, Joe Biden. It has even been alleged that key figures in the FBI, including those who are supposed to safeguard against child trafficking, are implicated in this disturbing story. Some outlets have gone so far as to name other people such as George Soros.
However, at this stage, it is unclear where this information is coming from or whether anyone has any hard evidence to implicate any of the individuals involved. Given that these allegations concern child sex abuse, however, it is expected that law enforcement will take these claims seriously at the investigation stage.

Australia is considering a UN request to give asylum to 18-year-old Rahaf Mohammed al Qunun after she made headlines with her attempt to flee her allegedly abusive family.
Australia's Foreign Minister Marise Payne speaks during a news conference at the Australian Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand on January 10, 2019. (Reuters)
Australia's foreign minister on Thursday declined to say how long it will take to consider a UN request to resettle a young Saudi woman who fled her family's alleged abuse, as the 18-year-old's plight sparked a topless protest in Sydney and debate among Saudis over their country's restrictive "guardianship" laws.
Rahaf Mohammed al Qunun's attempt to flee the ultra-conservative kingdom has been making headlines since she landed in Bangkok from Kuwait last weekend.
Thai authorities threatened to deport her but with the help of activists, diplomats and a hastily opened Twitter account Qunun launched an impassioned asylum campaign.
As global interest surged – and her Twitter followers snowballed into the tens of thousands – the Thais backed down from deportation, handing her into the care of the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) in Bangkok, which urged Australia to offer resettlement.
Payne to meet al Qunun
Foreign Minister Marise Payne, on a scheduled visit to Bangkok to meet her Thai counterpart, told reporters Australia was "engaged in the steps of the assessment process of Miss al Qunun as required."
She said there was "no possibility" that Qunun would return to Australia with her Thursday and would not speculate on a timeframe if – as Canberra has heavily hinted this week – she is granted refugee status.
Qunun alleges abuse by her family, while rights groups also said she had renounced Islam, risking prosecution in conservative Saudi Arabia.
Her father, who denies mistreating her, will remain in Bangkok "until he knows which country she is going to", Thailand's immigration police chief told reporters Thursday.
The Saudi embassy in Bangkok has said it did not demand the teenager's deportation and the case was a family affair.
No sanctuary in Thailand
In a statement ahead of her trip, Payne said she would lobby for the return to Australia of former Bahraini national footballer Hakeem Alaraibi, who was granted refugee status there after fleeing a crackdown during the Arab Spring.
He is wanted in the Gulf state on charges linked to rioting, which he denies.
Alaraibi was detained in Bangkok in November while trying to go on vacation.
Payne reiterated Australia's call for Thailand not to send Alaraibi back to Bahrain.
#SaveHakeem please help him. Same story. Don't forget Hakeem. I'm with you #Hakeem
— Rahaf Mohammed رهف محمد (@rahaf84427714) January 10, 2019
Qunun's case has revived interest in the plight of the footballer, who has been held in Bangkok detention.
The Saudi weighed in on Alaraibi's case on her widely followed Twitter account.
Thailand, which is not a signatory to the UN code on protecting the rights of refugees, has repeatedly faced criticism for detaining or sending back people with asylum claims to repressive regimes.
Australia has also come under fire for re-routing migrants attempting to arrive by boat to offshore island camps.
Qunun had said that fleeing her family throws her into conflict with the Saudi system, which allows male family members to make decisions for female relatives, and if returned, she is "100 percent" sure she would be killed by her family.

So to make this omelette, you HAVE to use 4 eggs. Butter/becel butter, salt and your own ingredients.
First just make the eggs like you should but use 4 eggs. Then when you add a pinch of salt. Add whichever ingredients you want.
When you think the base is solid enough, flip the egg until it looks like a crescent moon.
Then keep interchanging sides, poking the middle of the egg often to ensure the middle was cooked yet liquid-like.
When it's done place it on a plate. To complete the meal make toast and add a tiny pinch of salt.
When done cut egg open and the liquid cooked egg stuff inside should leak out. Then dip the toast and enjoy!

Darius the Great Is Not Okay by Adib Khorram
BOOK REVIEWS	by ANNALUCE September 22, 2020 June 3, 2021
Darius the Great Is Not Okay is an okay YA coming of age, one that focuses on Darius' relationship with himself (which isn't great given his poor self-esteem), with his father, and with his first real friend.
Readers expecting this novel to have LGBT+ themes or a romance subplot read may have to readjust their expectations as Darius' grandmothers (on his father side) are barely mentioned and there is no romance whatsoever. Which is itself kind of refreshing, given how many YA books end up neglecting familial and platonic relationships in favour of romantic ones.
The writing is simple and readable, at times it struck me as a bit too juvenile but I'm fairly sure that younger teens will find Adib Khorram's style to be entertaining. I did find Darius' narration to be a bit repetitive. He has these catchphrases that he repeats throughout the novel ("Soulless Minions of Orthdoxy" appears x, "That's normal./Right?" appears x, and calling his dad "Stephen Kellner/the Übermensch") and I could have done with fewer of them (especially as I didn't find them particularly funny).
The first few chapter of this book give us an idea of who Darius is and how he's treated by his peers. He has depression, he's kind of awkward, he has no close friends, he isn't particularly good at anything, and his only passions seem to be tea, Star Trek, and Tolkien. His bully is the embodiment of bully in that being a jerk is his only character trait, which is fine, as seeing him in action makes Darius into a more sympathetic character. In this first section, which is set in America, we learn of how Darius doesn't feel American or Persian 'enough'. He believes that his father is disappointed and ashamed by him, and he wishes he could speak Farsi in order to talk on skype to Mamou and Babou (his mother's parents). While his sister learnt Farsi at a young age, he never did (why he didn't try later in life…we don't know).
Because of Babou's deteriorating health (he has a terminal brain tumour), Darius, alongside his family, travel to Iran. Here Darius meets Sohrab, and the two seem to immediately hit it off (which wasn't entirely convincing but whatever). Darius interactions with Babou aren't great and remind him of how he feels with his dad (who he refers to as Stephen Kellner 80% of the time…which was so annoying and childish. I call my father by his first name but I don't go for the whole 'name and surname'). The plot unfolds in a predictable way. Darius learns more about Iran and Persian customs, he seemed surprised to learn that it isn't as 'antiquated' as he was led to believe living in the West, yet there were far to few scenes about Darius+family taking day trips to nearby areas or exploring Yazd.
We get instead a lot of scenes featuring Darius and his dad being awkward together, or a few scenes in which Darius and Sohrab play "soccer/non-American football" (he keeps calling it that even once we established that he is indeed playing "soccer/non-American football").
As previously mentioned, I wasn't enamoured by Khorram's prose. His dialogues were painfully simple (and gave the idea that the characters don't have a lot of interesting things to say) and his word-choice for certain descriptions left me wanting (Darius voice 'squeaks' one too many times for my liking, couldn't it tremble? Falter? Or something else?).
There is a predictable and avoidable disagreement in the novel's final act, one that is thankfully resolved quite swiftly.
While this was an okay read, I wonder why Khorram went out of his way to include scenes in which Darius feels embarrassed or humiliated. There were at least two instances when Darius could have avoided feeling embarrassed by simply not disclosing certain details but he does (when his bike wheels are stolen the bully left some rubber balls on his bike, Darius calls his dad asking him to pick him up and instead of just saying that someone stole his wheels, he tells him about the balls—all the while he is mortified by having to say the word 'balls' to his father, when he could have just thrown the balls away—which he actually does only after his phone call to his dad him. At the airport someone thinks that his pimple is a bindi, and Darius could have just said 'it isn't' but no, he tells this security person that it's just a gigantic pimple).
While I didn't find Darius or his story to be very poignant or realistic, this may be because I'm not exactly this book's intended audience.

Cost-conscious companies have been examining all aspects of travel in recent months.
The business travel market has rarely been so hotly competitive, providing superb opportunities for journeys by plane or train.
Airlines like Flybe are offering special deals of up to 25 per cent off published fares.
Rail ticket sellers thetrainline.com claim the average business passenger is paying s11 less per journey than 12 months ago.
And travel management companies are wooing clients with a promised combination of convenience and economy. They in turn face a stiff challenge from DIY internet booking sites.
One major market change has been the tie-up between Flybe and Loganair, bringing a low-cost model to the Highlands and Islands.
Stephen Hobday, Flybe's head of sales, says that while troubles in the financial sector have seen a reduction in traffic on Edinburgh to London routes the airline expects to emerge from the recession stronger.
This is partly due to its Business Express programme which allows companies to save up to a quarter with pre-purchased books of tickets.
It's also because people are changing to low-cost carriers and being smarter about their bookings.
"The market has changed and a lot of companies are being much more ruthless on their travel spending - desperate times call for desperate measures.
"This means people look for cheaper options, swapping flexible tickets booked close to the day for cheaper ones booked further out," says Hobday.
He expects that companies will increasingly drive down costs by doing exclusive deals with single carriers.
Flybe already has a sales team targeting large Scottish businesses and SMEs. Perhaps surprisingly, it's the SME market that is currently most buoyant.
"There's an attitude that they really need to be getting out to see customers and finding new business - and doing it before their competitors," says Hobday.
There is also a shift from cars and planes to trains.
Adrian Watts, director of sales and distribution, for thetrainline. com says this is due to improved punctuality, simpler fare structures, environmental concerns, cost and increasing flexibility about travel times.
"In March we saw volumes of business travel up by 32 per cent compared to the same time the year before.
"At the same time business travellers were typically paying 9 per cent less for their fares.
"Companies may have cut costs by reducing numbers of flights, but I wonder if anyone flying out of Edinburgh and Glasgow can say they are paying that much less per ticket than 12 months ago."
One way business travellers are saving is through booking tickets the day before travel and picking them up at thetrainline.com's network of kiosks, rather than just pitching up and paying at the station.
Travel management companies (TMCs) claim they are the best route to bargains and service quality.
Duncan Sanders, marketing and operations manager of Edinburgh-based Colpitts World Travel, says: "We are seeing business class special offers with savings of up to 50 per cent on regular fares, and economy special offers are now a way of life.
"There is also fierce competition between hoteliers - travellers don't have to sacrifice four and five star comfort as many of the chains are offering savings of up to 50 per cent .
"Executive rooms in key cities round the world are generally as cheap as standard rooms were a year ago."
TMCs also have access to specialist fares and negotiated rates not available directly to travellers and offer a range of back-up services.
These can help companies monitor spending, enforce travel policies and plan efficiently.
The rise of DIY online cheap fares services like Kayak.co.uk has challenged the appeal of TMCs, not least because they don't charge booking fees.
Annie Wilson, director of business development for Kayak, says: "We have the lowest prices because we search the most sites including the suppliers direct and from online travel agencies and consolidators."
The website also shows fares from alternative airports.
Wilson says this can yield big savings, citing examples of s100 fare reductions for those willing to use Stansted rather than Heathrow.
Kayak also claims that the technology it uses gives customers hundreds more options than its competitors.
A quick - and thoroughly unscientific - test looking for return flights from Edinburgh to Birmingham, leaving on August 4 and returning on August 6, came up with s 44 with Kayak compared to s 54 on Opodo.
By going to the BMI Baby website it was possible to go for s 39.03.
TMCs question the reality of savings to businesses which make their own arrangements - especially with some companies now having a dedicated member of staff surfing the web for cheap fares.
Mila Middleton, managing director of Ben Lawries Travel in Edinburgh, says: "That's a very expensive way of going about things.
"The biggest savings we offer are in resources. Clients just let us know their requirements and then they are free to carry on with their business and we come back to them with a series of options."
In recent months Middleton says there has been a noticeable increase in the use of videoconferencing by some companies for internal meetings.
"There is some value in this but in many cases - especially if you are trying to agree a deal - there is no substitute for looking people in the eye or shaking them by the hand."
Middleton expects the market to start improving in early 2010, but believes the world of business travel will be different from the past.
"Each major crisis - and I've seen a few- brings some lasting changes.
"If this one encourages businesses to look after their costs more carefully then that will be a good thing."
Yet for business people who need to travel there may never be a better time than now.
"There are some tremendous deals out there and we make sure that our clients are aware of them," says Middleton.
Recession means hair shirts all round for business travellers, but you can at least get one with a nice silk lining.
PrivateJetShare.com is proving popular amongthe elite who are used to having a hired plane to themselves and don'twant to revert to business class.
Alex Hunter, managing director of thecompany, says: "Many of our customers are people who normally charter ajet for themselves but need to cut back."
The business operates like a club, allowingmembers to hire a four- to18-seat jet for their chosen destination thendefray the costs by selling on the unused seats.
Flights from Scotland and London this summerwill whisk clients to the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco GrandPrix and there are also bookings from the rock glitterati heading forthe Ibiza Music Summit.
With a typical jet charter for Dubai costingaround s70,000, PrivateJetShare.com reckons that its members can end upreducing their costs to around s6000 to s6500 a seat, compared toaround s5000 on BA.
Hunter says: "There will always be a step upin price when you fly on a private jet, but the experience and theconvenience are simply unbeatable.
"You leave from a private terminal, you havefirst class catering, and when you arrive someone checks your passportat the bottom of the steps and a car is waiting to take you to yourdestination.
"It's highly efficient and convenient forpeople whose time really matters. Once you have done it you don't wantto go back to anything else."
Accommodation prices are also a key concernat present, and many companies are looking for ways to save on theprices charged by London hotels.
George Westwell, managing director of theCheval Group, says serviced private apartments are ideal for companiessending people south for a week or more. The company has 286 luxurypads in the City of London, Knightsbridge, Kensington and Chelsea.
"A week in one of our studio apartments inthe City costs from as little as s830," says Westwell. "They provide areal home-from-home with fully-fitted kitchens, dining areas or diningrooms, and most feature en-suite bathrooms."
With satellite TV, direct dial telephones, a24-hour concierge and maid service as standard they can be a way tosave cash without compromising on comfort.
The best answer to cutting travel bills can be not leaving the office; videoconferencing can save time and money.
A Europe-wide survey for hosting and telepresence company Easynet Global Services found that 80 per cent of respondents felt business trips drained their resources.
Denis Planat, Easynet's chief operating officer, says: "Increasing numbers of business leaders are looking to minimise the time spent travelling for meetings. Furthermore, the time wasted on business trips leads to less focused work and distractions from core business objectives."
Many businesses worry that videoconferencing is too impersonal. However, rapid advances in technology have hugely improvement the quality of experience for participants. That, plus an estimated 30 per cent reduction in travel costs, is pretty persuasive.
The case is reinforced by ScotlandIS, the trade body for the ICT industry, which claims that electronic meetings also mean lower carbon footprints, greater ease and flexibility, less time away from home and reduced stress.
Polly Purvis, Scotland IS executive director, says: "Companies are increasingly using a variety of videoconferencing facilities to replace physical meetings. These not only save the costs but are also more time-efficient."
Scottish hotels are bending over backwards to provide attractive deals for business travellers.
The Shieldhill Castle Hotel, in beautiful grounds near Biggar, is offering a superior room including dinner, bed and breakfast for s 75 compared to a normal price of s 129. The Halo Crowwood, Glasgow, has dinner bed and breakfast for s 65 and the four star Alona Hotel in Strathclyde Country Park offers bed and breakfast for s 74 a night.
As a result, one of the upsides of the economic downturn is that luxury has become that bit more affordable.


Listen to the first single off Case's sixth studio album, 'Therapy,' featuring Teddy Riley and Tank.
It's been three years since R&B star Case released a new album, but the Grammy-nominated crooner is back with fresh music for his fans.
While Case has written for legends like Christopher Williams and Usher, and started out singing background for various artists, Therapy, his sixth studio project, promises to be his most introspective yet.
Throughout Therapy's 11 tracks, the New York native turns inward to muse about everything from love and relationships, to spirituality.
Though real R&B music has been hard to find on the radio in the past few years, Case's lead-off single promises to give soul fans what they've been hungry for.
Titled "Make Love," Case is joined by fellow music icons Teddy Riley and Tank for a mid-tempo track that will be sure to have all the lovers — and dancers — hitting their best cha-cha.
In addition to Tank and Riley, Case is also joined by Slim from 112 and The Floacist on Therapy, which drops later this month.
Pre-order Therapy before it's released on September 21.

Did you like "Don't Look"? Here are other disaster films to discover!
dwadminDecember 24, 2021
Netflix gave subscribers this Christmas Eve sci-fi satire of the disaster "Don't Look Up," starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence and Meryl Streep.
In the plot, astronomy student Kate Dibiasky (Lawrence) and her teacher, Dr. Randall Mindy (DiCaprio), discover that a comet is about to collide with Earth, but no one seems to 'worry about it. Alerting humanity to the fatal impact of a boulder the size of Mount Everest will not be easy. With the help of Dr Oglethorpe (Rob Morgan), they embark on a media tour of the office of indifferent President Orlean (Streep) and her sycophantic son Jason (Jonah Hill) on The Daily Rip, a morning comedy show. hosted by Brie (Cate Blanchett) and Jack (Tyler Perry). Just six months away from the crash, grabbing the attention of the media and a social media obsessed audience is proving to be an incredibly comical challenge – what will it take for the world to look up?

Check it out below and tell us which is your favorite:
25 years ago, the famous disaster film "Twister" made its debut on big screens around the world and has become one of the main symbols of the film genre in question. Starring Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Jami Gertz and Cary Elwes, the work focuses on a group of "storm chasers" attempting to deploy a tornado investigation device during a severe nature outbreak in Oklahoma .
Where to watch: Prime Video
Volcanologist Harry Dalton arrives in the town of Dante's Peak for an investigation. Four years earlier, an eruption in Colombia had killed his partner, Marianne. Harry believes the dormant volcano is about to become active, and his only ally in town is the mayor, Rachel Wando, whose family are among those at risk. It remains to be seen whether the title of the second best place to live in the world will be undermined by the threat of nature.
Where to watch: Telecine Play
A child astronomer (Elijah Wood) and his teacher accidentally discover that a comet 11,000 meters in diameter will collide with Earth, but one of the discoverers dies in a car accident. After a year, a journalist trying to investigate a possible sex scandal comes to the conclusion that "the lover" is the comet, which is about to crash into our planet. If this were to happen, the damage caused will be incalculable, and animal and plant life will soon cease to exist. However, a team of Americans and Russians plan to place nuclear detonators, to fragment the comet and save the Earth.
Where to watch: Star +
After a shower of small meteors that hit Earth (including New York), NASA realizes that a Texas-sized asteroid is on a collision course with our planet. The asteroid is approaching Earth at a speed of 35,000 km / h. and if the shock occurs, all life will cease to exist on Earth, just like that which wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. With only 18 days left for the Earth-Asteroid collision, the only possible solution is to send astronauts on a space shuttle to the asteroid's surface and drill 800 feet there to place a nuclear bomb, detonating it. by remote control. To fulfill this mission, the most famous oil driller (Bruce Willis) is mobilized at great depths in the world, which requires training his team with technicians with unconventional behavior by government standards.
THE DAY AFTER (2004)
After climatologist Jack Hall (Denis Quaid) was totally ignored by UN officials when presenting his environmental concerns, his research came true when a huge storm developed, triggering catastrophic natural disasters around the world . Trying to join his son Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal), who is stranded in New York City with his other friends, Jack has to travel on foot from Philadelphia to get to Sam before it's too late.

Starring Dwayne Johnson, Carla Gugino and Alexandra Daddario – as well as a guest appearance by Grammy winner Kylie Minogue – "Earthquake: The San Andreas Fault" may have even been bombarded by pundits , but still worth a try. end the year having fun. In the plot, a massive earthquake hits California and forces Ray (Johnson), a firefighter specializing in helicopter rescues, to cross the state with his ex-wife (Gugino) to save his daughter Blake (Daddario) .
FINAL DESTRUCTION: THE LAST REFUGE (2020)

Amid terrifying reports of destroyed cities, Garrity sees the best and the worst of humanity. As the countdown to the apocalypse nears zero, your incredible journey ends with a last-minute desperate flight to a possible refuge.


enter it. It mostly has dirt paths and of course, I was not prepared for that and the "hike" it entails. We planned to visit a few places that day so I chose to wear sandals (similar here) and a sundress (similar here, here and here) for comfort - yes, sandals for me equal comfort.
Since, as I mentioned above, we didn't expect this kind of wilderness, we didn't venture through the entire garden; for that I recommend that you wear pants and comfortable, covered-toes shoes. We were advised that some dirt trails have poisoned oak and we did not want to run into that.
The views are incredible with mountain peaks ahead, greenery all around and birds chirping everywhere. I loved admiring the California wild poppies and all the other flowers growing freely as far as the eye can see. We made our way into the redwood forest where I was mesmerized by those amazingly tall trees, and the squirrels going about their business. Now I can't wait to visit the real Redwood National Park.
From that point, we made our way to the Mission creek, where we listened to the sounds of water and nature around us. We didn't venture further than the Children's maze, which, cowardly, I refused to "experience" due to being scared of insects. We returned to watch the Cooper hawk's babies - they were sleeping while the mother or father were nowhere near. From there, we headed to the Porter trail that promises a view of the ocean and the islands off the California coast. Sadly, we didn't see any of those. For the days we were there, we weren't lucky enough to have fully clear views - blame it on SoCal's June gloom.
In spite of this, we still enjoyed our visit and the greenery, and we'd go back if we're in the area.
If you ever are in Santa Barbara, I recommend you pay this beautiful place a visit; bring some food to enjoy in the picnic area, and observe the beauty around you.
Thank you Inna! Hope all is well!


The first East Coast Race, held on 20 July, 1963, attracted 27 starters on a calm day off Osea pier at noon, setting sail for Harwich. The winner of the race was one of the oldest entries, 'Fanny of Cowes', and she's still winning races 50 years on, into her second century. With wind and tides against them, however, the majority of the fleet were forced to retire, leaving only seven finishers struggling into Harwich, with the last arriving well after midnight.
Visit the East Coast OGA website to find out about this year's events.
The East Coast old gaffers race is something that should have happened before. Sailed for the first time this year, it produced the most curious, beautiful, and ancient collection of craft to be seen in the Blackwater for many a long year.
In a dead calm off Osea pier, the start was a drift of hanging topsails and mainsails, all colours from faded amber to darkest red. With the flood still running and the fleet bound downriver, it took us over an hour after the gun to make the 50 yards or so to the starting line, but a fluky breeze took the inshore boats away more quickly and the 30-odd starters were soon spread out right down the estuary. There was plenty of time to sum up the opposition, from the aptly named Fly, a police-cutter built in 1805, to striplings like Fanny of Cowes (1872), Wild Duck (1884) and Maria (1840). Our own boat, Sugar Creek, at 30 years old, was a comparative modern. Many of the entries were more or less resurrected ancients, having been dug out of good East Coast mud to sail again as yachts, after being abandoned as work-boats. Several were Colchester smacks; there was also a wherry, a hoogaar, a botter, an Itchen ferry punt and one or two converted lifeboats (one bought for £78, complete with survival rations).
The tide turned and we pounded doggedly backwards and forwards trying to beat past Walton pier. I thought we were there for the summer and retired to my bunk. We were well-crewed and I had eaten too much fruit cake for the conditions. I lay queasily until I could see at last the pier leaping up and down in the small square of the hatch aft, then, knowing it was beaten, I relaxed. When I woke it was pitch dark. We were sailing into Harwich harbour, rustling along with the lights of Dovercourt abeam and the flashing and blinking of channel buoys ahead. At last the flooding tide was helping us, the last hour of it. We had taken exactly 12 hours for the trip, and timed ourselves over the line at midnight. There was no one there to see us, apart from a pilot boat that shone a searchlight on us as we wearily went about to clear the required side of the last channel buoy. As we let go the anchor in the mouth of the Orwell, having sounded into shallow water, we saw the shapes of two more gaffs, dark against the sky as they moved up the harbour.
The sky was a rash of stars. It seemed very peaceful, but not the finish we had visualised, whooping it up in the Pier Hotel, for we doubted if they would honour our crumpled dinner tickets at this pathetic hour. We left Harwich four hours later to return to our mooring on the Crouch. This time with fair wind, we did the same distance in less than half the time and certainly with a fraction of the effort.
Later we learned that only about seven boats had completed the course to Harwich. Of these Fanny of Cowes was the winner, with Fly second, and Lora third. Corista, a modern 46-foot cutter, was first over the line, two hours ahead of us. At least we had finished, and it was a splendid weekend's sailing.


Richard Wright in a 1946 photograph by Carl Van Vechten.
Richard Wright was born on this day in 1908; he wrote Native Son and Black Boy, among dozens of other books, and his often controversial work helped to change race relations in the twentieth century. Wright hailed from North Carolina and in 1946 moved to Paris, where he befriended Sartre, Camus, and a number of expatriate writers, including Max Steele, one of The Paris Review's founding editors. In our fiftieth anniversary issue, from 2003, the late Steele wrote "Richard Wright: The Visible Man," a remembrance. Below is an excerpt from the essay.
I do not remember what month I saw him for the last time. He was strolling slowly in the light rain toward his flat on Monsieur Le Prince. He, in his double-breasted English raincoat and new beret, was walking upstream against the French with their umbrellas rushing down from the Comedie Française toward the Metro at Odéon.
Five years later when I was again in Chapel Hill, teaching, I met Hugh Wilson, a cousin of Paul Green's, who told me how exciting and dangerous those weeks were when Wright was in town working with Green on the play. "Of course he couldn't stay at the Carolina Inn and there was no other place, so we got him a room down on Cameron Avenue in that big Victorian house behind those two giant magnolias. When the Ku Klux got wind he was there in a white neighborhood, they put out word they were going to kill him. Wright never knew that. Night after night Paul and I walked shotgun on that block. Paul would go up Ransom and I'd go down Cameron for a block or so and then we'd walk back and stand on the corner awhile, then patrol again. All night. I don't know how Paul could write the next day. I didn't care for Native Son. But Black Boy, that was one helluva book!" We admitted it had changed Wilson's attitude and mine.
I heard later that Ellen [Wright's wife] had placed a copy of Black Boy on Wright's chest before the coffin was closed.


The sports betting industry is a beautiful beast, but for every one part beauty, there are two parts ugly. In this piece, I will share hidden truths that swim below the surface of perception for even the most advanced bettors. If you place bets, know someone who places bets, or are just curious about the workings of the industry, I urge you to read this piece and share it with those for whom it may be relevant.
*While this has little relevance to any topic I have previously written about, anyone who has even the mildest interest or involvement in this mystical, multi-trillion-dollar industry will surely learn something new. And by the way, that's trillion… with a T.
While I won't get into the moral arguments that has plagued the business (or the striking parallels with the stock market and other forms of basically universally legalized gambling), I will simplify and bring to light some of the mathematical pillars that make the industry work, which every beginner, intermediate, and expert bettor must be aware of to stand a chance in the betting jungle.
Truth #1: What do the betting lines say?
To start, let's discuss the language of betting.
When you see sports betting lines, they are expressed in such a genius way that you don't even understand what they mean. The two most common ways to express odds are American odds and decimal odds (you can look up the specifics if you're interested), which essentially tell you how much money you are going to win if you bet $X or how much money you need to bet to win $Y.
What very few bettors understand is that these lines actually express the probability that a team/player has of winning a match. There's a reason they are not presented in this way, and it's not because it is an inconvenience.
For example, tonight's game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Sacramento Kings has the line of -272 for Cleveland and +241 for Sacramento. Any schmuck looking at that will say "hmm, little payout if I bet on Cleveland and big payout if I bet on Sacramento." What you should see is Cleveland has a (hypothetical) 73.1% chance of winning and Sacramento has a (hypothetical) 29.2% chance of winning.
*Note – does something seem fishy about those percentages? I'll address that in a bit.
So how important are these percentages? Even more important than who you think will win the match! I'll use a beautiful casino digression to explain this point.
Do you know how you can be sure you WILL LOSE money in the long run when you enter a casino? Because you can calculate the EXACT probabilities of winning/losing in each game, and the casino has the advantage in every one of them. Roulette is the simplest game to explain the math behind (and perhaps you already know this, in which case feel free to skip this explanation), so allow me to give that a go.
A European roulette wheel will have 37 pockets in it, so in a FAIR game, if you were to correctly predict the number the ball lands on (i.e. a straight-up bet), then you should be paid back your initial bet (we'll say $1) in addition to a 36x multiple of your initial bet. In the long run, both you and the casino would net $0 because you lose 36 x $1 for ever one win giving $36. Capiche?
Since it isn't a fair game, you're only paid a 35x multiple. This translates to about a 2.7 cent loss for every dollar you bet (in the long run). It seems minuscule, but that little green space is worth billions of dollars.
Now, if you convert these numbers to percentages, you'll see that the true probability of picking the correct number is 1/37=~2.7%, whereas the casino pays you as if the true probability is 1/36=~2.8%. This discrepancy is why the casino will always win.
The beauty of sports betting (and what attracted me) is that NO ONE KNOWS THE TRUE PROBABILITY OF THE OUTCOME OF A MATCH BECAUSE THERE ARE A MILLION VARIABLES INVOLVED. That gives you an opening.
This implies that there are two sets of odds. The true odds, i.e. the 'incalculable' probability each team has of winning that only God knows, and there are the market odds, i.e. the proposed probabilities that are concealed beneath the betting lines.
And here's the kicker – these are not necessarily the same.
Truth #2: The market odds are just that… market odds.
The truth about the market odds is that, theoretically, they have nothing to do with the true odds. When a sportsbook puts out a line for a game, they take advantage of powerful algorithms that predict how people will place their money so that there is roughly even play on both sides, because if there is roughly even money on both sides, they can guarantee a profit regardless of the outcome of the match.
To ensure that there is even money on both sides, the lines continuously adjust based on how people are placing their money, and since your average Joe is far from a perfect probability determiner, these lines will never sit at the true odds. It doesn't matter if it makes sense or not; if for some reason everybody put money on an amateur to beat Roger Federer in a tennis match, the betting odds would shift to show the amateur as the favourite. While that makes absolutely no sense in reality, the books don't care. They just collect their commission and get out of there.
In a more realistic example, if the New York Yankees were set at -100 (=50% chance of winning) and a lot of money is placed on the Yankees, the line will creep up to something like -110 (52.4% chance of winning) which is of course a smaller payout for the Yankees if you come in after the line has moved.
Truth #3: Moving odds are exploited.
This is perhaps the most important truth of them all for a beginner.
Picture this: you have a radio show with one million followers that go to you for advice on which teams to pick for your Sunday NFL games. If you were the radio show host, what would you do?
If you can influence your following, 100% of the time you will suggest that your followers pick the team that you are betting against. This is the stock market equivalent of your stockbroker recommending you buy shares in Apple, then that very same broker short-selling Apple shares without your knowledge (which *surprise* is a well-documented occurrence)!
This works because if the radio host believes the Yankees are going to lose and the Blue Jays are going to win, telling his listeners that he thinks the Yankees are the better pick (hence big money placed on the Yankees) will consequently lead the line to go from -100 to -110 on the Yankees (and by extension from +100 to +110 for the Blue Jays). Then after this happens, he goes and puts money on the Jays and voila – he now gets paid 10% more than he otherwise would've if he hadn't given his BS advice.
Truth #4: Historic win percentages don't make an advice-giver more credible.
If you're ever so dumb to take betting advice (picks, that is) from a professional (or even worse, pay for it), you'll often hear them advertise something along the lines of "last season I won 65% of my games." While this may be perfectly true, this should mean absolutely nothing to you. For all you know, he could have exclusively bet on favourites with lines greater than -233 (i.e. 70% probability of winning). In which case, he would have lost money over the course of his "miraculous" season!
You can lose money despite picking winners >50% of the time and you can win money despite picking losers >50% of the time. It's all about how you perform relative to the market odds.
Truth #5: Your opponent isn't the casino OR the other team.
Unless you're picking lines right at the open (which you most likely won't unless you have an online account with the sportsbook that always releases the first lines), you will play on games where the market has already worked its forces on the line. That means that you're no longer picking based on how good the sportsbook was at determining the line, your picking based on how good the market has been at aligning the market odds to the true (incalculable) odds.
The good news here, is that people are far from perfect. In addition, there are people who bet only in the short term and there are people who only bet in the long term, thereby leaving an opening for you to make money. For example, let's say you're debating whether to bet on the Detroit Red Wings or the New York Rangers. Say the true odds (the ones that only God knows) are that Detroit has a 65% chance of winning and New York has a 35% chance of winning. If the market has moved to the point that payouts are given out as if Detroit has a 70% chance of winning (-233) and New York has a 30% (+233) chance of winning, then a short-term and long-term bettor would do different things.
The short-term bettor (your buddy Sean who only bets once a year on his birthday), will have a 65% chance of walking away a richer man if he bets on Detroit, and so of course that is what he will do despite not being paid accordingly to the risk he took. A long-term bettor would bet on New York, because the payout is GREATER than the true probability suggests it should be. So even though New York will lose 65% of the time, if the market thinks they should lose 70% of the time, that 5% discrepancy makes the long-term bettor profitable. In roulette, it would be the same as if the house paid you a 40x return for picking the right number. Take that bet every time!
This section can be summed up to one line: you're competing against the other sports bettors, no one else.
Remember the Cleveland vs. Sacramento example? The thing you should have noticed was that the probabilities add up to greater than 100%. To make it short and sweet, these extra percentage points are the commission that the books will take (and the safety zone in case there is big last minute money on one side). They need this to survive (and thrive), and this commission ranges anywhere from 5% to absurd levels above 10%. If you manage to derive a betting system that the market has not caught on to, you must be sure that it can cover this 5% spread that the books take.
When picking a book, you will be enticed with offers like a free $200 with an equivalent deposit. They cover this with a ridiculous commission on every bet, so those bonus are ALWAYS a worse choice in the long run than the book without a bonus and lower commission (I can work out the exact math for how many bets it takes to reach the long run at a later time, if you wish).
A last note – there is a way to win! If you're committed, smart, and perhaps a little tech-savvy, then you can look to historical data to find tendencies in human psychology that cause disproportionate betting on one (or more) variable, to the point that it sways the market odds enough to leave a discrepancy between the market odds and the true odds.
Previous Previous post: Should You Bring Others Into the Light?
I tried to simplify it as much as I could, but perhaps I was not so effective in doing so. Anyways, thank you for reading and I'm glad you found it interesting.
This is a really interesting article you have published here. I have been betting for 2 years and there are definitely markets you can exploit. One of these is Esports little is known by the industry and odds are therefore very generous.

Afghan War Is the Soviet Vietnam
December 8, 2013 Uncategorizedrwinkler
The Soviet Union military involvement in Afghanistan lead to the forming of one the most cohesive social groups in Soviet Union society the Afghan veterans. These veterans formed a bond with one another because of similar situations that they faced in combat. Just like the United States veterans of the Vietnam War played a cultural and social role in the U.S., so would USSR Afghan vets in the Soviet Union. A brotherhood was formed out of the war in Afghanistan a brotherhood that could not be ignored by its government, by its enemies, and most importantly by the people of Soviet Russia.
Like in most wars soldiers die or have physical and mental issues because of the traumas they have seen. However, the responsibility of the government is to take care of its brave men who go off to fight for whatever reasons they were giving. The Soviet Union did not take care of their vets well at all. In the Seventeen moments the document called, "What Society Owes the Afghanistan Veterans," states, " When they first arrive, they assemble in a big room to hear the following honest and straightforward address: 'You have fulfilled your duty and have sustained serious wounds." The hospitals and care for returning vets were not adequate to the needs of these vets. The document showed how the government was unable to help and the negative effect of returning vets without having proper care for their injuries was seen in job losses, alcoholism, and the ability to not function properly in society. These issues are seen even here at home in the U.S. where are veterans are having many of the same problems. Just like the U.S. the end results are veteran groups being formed to fight for the rights that they earned.
Even as the cold war raged on, the similarities of U.S. Vietnam war echoed loud in the Soviet Afghan war. Just like Vietnam, Soviet soldiers were being asked to die for people who clearly did not want them there, and the bloody fighting left them shattered on their return home. Soldiers who did not want to fight in this war came home broken and badgered. The unpopularity of the war among soldiers did not however, stop them from committing crimes that are comparable to Vietnam Mylai. In the East View database, the article, "We Serve in Afghanistan," spoke of the, "the cutthroats are still going about their dirty business of setting schools on fire and killing activists." These acts where highlighted to show the difficulty that the Afghan people had to overcome for their new life. These acts are a stain that Soviet soldiers dealt with for the remainder of the war.
The legacy of the Soviet Afghan war was that men came home broken and felt abandoned by its government. This eventually leads them to start their own organizations so they could look after each other. The Soviet Union losses the war and their economy, which in no small part leads to the collapse of the Soviet Union. The story of the Afghan vet is so comparable to Vietnam vets experiences and mood that it is kind of scary how history repeats itself even in the same century. The history of these wars left their mark on both sides and will never be forgotten by the people who fought in them.

Thanks for highlighting the importance of veterans' experience. Like everything else having to do with the war in Afghanistan, the challenges facing Soviet veterans were unpredictably complicated. Nice post!
Annemarie Lucernoni says:
That was an interesting parallel you made between Vietnam vets and Afghan vets (and really, veterans from every war of this century). I agree that its kind of scary how little we seem to have learned- reminds me of a quote from I don"t know where "Men do not learn much from the lessons of history- and THAT is the biggest lesson of history".
brandonlapointe says:
I really liked the comparison you made here. I know I'm not the first to say it, but it is impressive the similarities that both the USA's and USSR's veterans share. I a saddened that the soldiers weren't even given proper medical attention though. I mean, it only makes sense to me to take care of a man who's willing to die for your cause…
carastombock says:
I love comparisons between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Using Vietnam to compare really brings up the feelings that we as American's have towards that conflict and applying it to what we learn about the Soviets in the Afghan War. In another class that I am taking this semester, Women in the Islamic World, we watched a video about women in Kabul. The women and men in the documentary commented on the devastation left by the Soviets during the Afghan War. It's really interested to be able to tie these two classes together and even see the similarities between the local people (Vietnamese and Afghans) invaded by the two super powers of the world.

In 2004, an International Consensus Group (ICG) developed and published recommendations for the treatment of bipolar I depression based on available clinical evidence. The ICG reconvened in October 2007 to reevaluate clinical trial data published in the intervening years on the treatment of bipolar I depression. In addition, the ICG extended the scope of its discussions to consider published evidence for the treatment of bipolar II depression and also special populations of patients with bipolar depression.

Supreme Court ruling could be a boon for uninsured immigrant families
Miranda Dietz, researcher, UC Berkeley Labor Center | June 10, 2016
By Miranda Dietz, Ken Jacobs, and Laurel Lucia
Millions of immigrant families in the U.S. are awaiting the Supreme Court's June decision on whether to uphold President Obama's 2014 executive action on immigration. If upheld, a total of 1.25 million immigrant adults and children in California would be eligible to apply for temporary relief from deportation and work authorization, according to estimates from Pew Research Center. This includes immigrants newly eligible for the Deferred Action for Parents of U.S Citizens and Legal Permanent Residents (DAPA) program and the expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, in addition to adults and children eligible under the original DACA program, created in 2012.
In California, the Supreme Court's decision would clear the way for improved work opportunities and wages, reductions in child poverty, and greater peace of mind for families. But it would also expand access to comprehensive health insurance for many. While undocumented immigrants, including those with DACA or DAPA, are excluded from Medicaid and other health coverage options under the Affordable Care Act, low-income immigrants with DACA or DAPA are eligible for Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid program) under state policy.
We estimate that between 310,000 and 440,000 California uninsured adults with DACA or DAPA will be eligible for Medi-Cal after the federal programs have been implemented for several years, based on an
analysis conducted jointly by the UC Berkeley Labor Center and the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research in 2015. Of the 1.25 million Californians eligible for DACA or DAPA, 1.15 million are adults (undocumented children are already eligible for Medi-Cal).
Sign-up rates for DACA and DAPA are highly uncertain, but for purposes of this estimate we assumed that between 50 and 70 percent of Californians eligible for the federal programs will apply and be approved. Not all will sign up, as some are unable to afford the $465 application fee, others are missing the the required paperwork, some are uncertain about how to apply, some need application assistance and others have fears and legal concerns about applying.
The majority (54 percent) of California adults eligible for DACA or DAPA lacked private health insurance and had income below the Medi-Cal eligibility threshold (139 percent of the federal poverty level, or $33,800 for a family of four in 2016), according to the UCLA-UC Berkeley analysis of data from the 2013 Current Population Survey. This is a high-end estimate, because income and access to job-based coverage could increase for individuals with DACA and DAPA as a result of the expanded work opportunities. Additionally, this income data was collected prior to California's recently implemented and scheduled increases in the state minimum wage.
(iStock photo)
Not all Californians with DACA or DAPA who are eligible for Medi-Cal would enroll in coverage. The limited available data suggests that Medi-Cal enrollment for the 200,000 Californians granted DACA under Obama's 2012 executive action has been low, at least as of mid-2014. Barriers have included confusion about the Medi-Cal eligibility policy for this group (among both enrollment workers and applicants) and immigrants' fears and hesitations about applying for the state health-insurance program.
A Supreme Court decision upholding the President's executive action, combined with California's inclusive Medi-Cal eligibility policy for immigrants with DACA or DAPA, have the potential to significantly reduce California's uninsured population, which is projected to include up to 1.5 million undocumented and uninsured individuals in 2019. However, undocumented immigrants are still likely to make up the largest group of Californians remaining uninsured even several years after implementation of this executive action. Not all undocumented immigrants will be eligible for or be approved for DACA or DAPA, some will have income that makes them ineligible for Medi-Cal, and others will become eligible for Medi-Cal but not enroll.
To maximize health coverage among those with DACA and DAPA in California, it will be important to improve awareness of this Medi-Cal eligibility policy and provide assistance to Californians in signing up for DACA and DAPA and in enrolling in Medi-Cal.

Q: Integral extension of a DVR which is of finite type over a field $k$ Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a DVR over an algebraically closed field $k$ and $K=\operatorname{Frac}R$.
Assume that a field $k^{\prime}$ of finite type over $k$ and a finite field extension $K\subset K^{\prime}=K\otimes k^{\prime}$ are given.
Then I want to prove the following,

There is an integral extension $R\subset R^{\prime}$ s.t. $R^{\prime}$ is a DVR of $K^{\prime}$.

My attempt:
Take the integral closure $\widetilde{R}$ of $R$ in $K^{\prime}$, this is a Dedekind domain. Localize $\widetilde{R}$ at some maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}^{\prime}$, then $\widetilde{R}_{\mathfrak{m}^{\prime}}$ is a DVR of $K^{\prime}$.
But, I don't think $R\subset \widetilde{R}_{\mathfrak{m}^{\prime}}$ is an integral extension in general, and I'm stuck.
Thanks in advance.
