FORT MCCOY, Wis. — The Wisconsin Army National Guard's State Best Warrior Competition at Fort McCoy, Wis., April 5-8, and the recently launched Guard Your Health Campaign have a common goal: mission readiness.
On the surface, there are few parallels between the meditation tips on the Guard Your Health Campaign's website and the three-day, grueling competition. However, they share the same intent to enhance the overall readiness of the Wisconsin Army National Guard — an organization that must be ready to serve as both the state's first military responder in times of emergency or in a federal capacity as the Army's primary combat reserve.
The tasks for the State Best Warrior Competition included a variety of events such as qualifying on three different weapons, the Army Physical Fitness Test, a land navigation course, testing essential Soldier survival skills, a written test and essay, an appearance board, and a 12-mile ruck march. The winners of the competition will advance to next month's regional Best Warrior Competition, also held at Fort McCoy this year.
Competitors had to come prepared to adapt to anything.
Spc. John Clark, a public affairs specialist with Headquarters Company, 157th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, competed last year and participated this year as a sponsor to one of the competitors.
He explained that this year the competitors did not know the order of events and had to show up prepared for any task at any time.
"We have to pack all the equipment we might need for any of the tasks," Clark said. "We don't know what we're going into. This morning we shipped out at 3:30 in the morning and didn't know where we were going. We don't know what we're doing until we're doing it."

In addition to the planned events, competitors also had to complete a mystery task. This year, the mystery task required Soldiers to run an additional half mile with 50-pound ammunition containers immediately after running the two-mile event of the Army Physical Fitness Test.
The competitors' adaptability was tested further when unseasonable weather brought fresh snow and freezing temperatures.
"Soldiers in the Wisconsin Army National Guard have to be ready at a moment's notice and that is something we do really well," Clark said.
Command Sgt. Maj. Rafael Conde, the Wisconsin Army National Guard's senior enlisted leader, made the point that football players do not just show up to games. They prepare throughout the entire week to play the game. The same principle applies to the military.
"We need to be ready mentally, physically, and spiritually for any mission at a moment's notice," said Conde.
The Guard Your Health campaign takes readiness off the field and brings it to the fingertips of Soldiers in their civilian lives.
The campaign provides Soldiers with nutritious recipes, fitness tips, mental health guidance and addresses a variety of other health related topics — all in the name of enhancing readiness to serve the state and nation.
According to Maj. Gen. Don Dunbar, Wisconsin's adjutant general, today's Army National Guard needs to be ready to deploy in support of any number of worldwide contingencies or here at home when emergencies arise.
"Our nation is relying on the National Guard more and more," Dunbar said. "Readiness is our top priority, and we must be ready to answer the nation's call at a moment's notice. Ensuring our Guard is physically, mentally and spiritually fit is the first step."
A strong mental, spiritual, and physical foundation is vital to the National Guard's success and readiness. While few will have the opportunity to compete in a Best Warrior Competition, the demands it magnifies represent the challenges Soldiers face each day. Thanks to programs like Guard Your Health, National Guard members have another tool to help ensure they are ready when called.

I did a search of the form and this Gene Roddenberry classic doesn't seem to have been discussed, and was wondering if anyone wanted to discuss it?
My input (relates to season 1), loved the show, the Taelon's were unlike anything I had ever seen, and were completely different and alien, and I loved how they were portrayed as having a different morals and belief system. (where most other sci-fi 'aliens' were never that alien). I also found the Boon character fascinating and engaging. The concept of the CVI and skrill was unlike anything I had ever thought of, and was some of the most interesting tech I have ever seen. I also liked the Sandoval character and the conflicted nature between the CVI conditioning and his natural instincts and personality.
the other 4 seasons, IMHO maybe watch season 2-4, but avoid season 5. I was bitterly disappointed that Boon was killed off, and replaced with a character that was one dimensional, unappealing and unlikable.
Thought's?

It's weird seeing most of those exterior shots without condos in the backgrounds.

I am sure a lot has changed sense the '90's.
The downtown areas of Toronto where they shoot episodes have been completely overrun by cheap overpriced condos in the last decade. The post-industrial areas/warehouses/etc that show up so often in shows like this are also all different kind of condos or IT startup offices. Compare shooting locations with Orphan Black, The Strain, Hannibal or The Expanse (I think?).
As for E:FC, I feel it never really lived up to its promise. It's another example of a show brought down by their inability to rely on the actually decent actors in their cast instead of whatever wooden Leading Man they're saddled with.
I liked the implant serial killer episode and the Amish butterfly episode though, but even then only because of the strong opening images.
I definitely view season 1 differently to the others, and wish they had continued with Boon, IMO the show was destroyed by the change in protagonists. The Amish ep was good, though other episodes like Old Flame (Boons loyalty is tested with fake memories implanted in his CVI) and Sandoval's Run (showing the conflicted nature of Sandoval between CVI conditioning and his original personality) stood out for me.
I found both Kevin Kilner and Robert Leeshock really wooden, especially compared to Von Flores and Leni Parker's performances.
I didn't mind Kevin Kilner's performance, and really like the Boon character, but agree with your assessment of Robert Leeshock and hated the Liam Kincaid character.

The show suffered from power struggles between the various factions among the producers, including Majel Barrett, who time and again interfered with the writers and directors. She seemed to think that just because she was Roddenberry's widow that some of his genius had rubbed off onto her. I liked Boone more than Liam by a fair site, although neither actor was tremendously talented. I also liked Lili Marquette and was disappointed when she was dropped. Sandoval was a great character, which I've never heard anyone dispute. The alien/human hybrid technology was cool, especially those pull-out transparent comm devices. All told, the series stand's head and shoulders above the even more variable-quality Andromeda.
don't get me started on Andromeda, went down hill straight after the first episode, and continued spiraling through out it's run. Season 1 was again the best of the lot, but that isn't saying much IMO.
Flores could've carried the show, frankly.
He did, actually...
That's true, thought I don't think I saw any episodes past season 3.
I started watching late in its run as it was being promoted much in my TV market. I am surprised that Comet TV did not pick it up along with Andromeda (in its second cycling through the series) being stable mates - Roddenberry shows and being produced by Tribune-MBR at the same time (end of EFC and beginning of Andromeda). You would think that they would have market them as a programming block to make sure they would get viewers that want to see both shows get it all at once.

Allegri Ensemble presents Mozart's Requiem
Sun, 14/04/2019 - 2:30pm - 4:15pm
Allegri Ensemble is proud to present their first concert for 2019 - Mozart's Requiem, in the beautiful St George's Church, 30 Cromwell St Battery Point.
Begun in late 1791, the Requiem was incomplete at Mozart's death in December that year: the version being performed was completed by Mozart's pupil and friend, Franz Xaver Süssmayr. Allegri Ensemble will perform the work accompanied by the UTAS Camerata from the Conservatorium of Music, directed by Susan Collins. Soloists in the performance include Hobart soprano, Helen Thomson; and newly arrived in Hobart, bass-baritone Thomas Flint. Also newly arrived in Hobart is mezzo-soprano Rebeka Hren Dragolic, together with tenor Nick Seidenman from Victoria. The Requiem will be preceded by two short choral motets, De profundis, attributed to Mozart, but likely composed by Georg Reutter; and Mozart's Miserere in a minor. The Camerata strings will also perform Rakastava (The Lover) by Jean Sibelius.
Since 2013, Allegri Ensemble has presented an annual concert series under musical director Andrew Bainbridge. As Andrew has just been appointed to a new position in Melbourne, this will be his last concert with Allegri Ensemble.
We are thrilled that this performance of Mozart's Requiem will be conducted by international maestro and TSO Principal Guest Conductor, Johannes Fritzsch.

I will trust that just doing a cystoscopy / cytology every 3 months is the right protocol for my situation. Like you I never drink soda nor have I for a long time, my diet is very good and I now have incorporated juicing with mixed berries and Kale. I drink alcohol but not in excess.
My URO did 6 BCG's then a rest of 6 weeks then another 6 and that was it! He studied under Dr. Lamm also. There are varied protocols. My situation might have as much to do with catching it early-size was .5 CM-about the size of a pencil eraser. Also, everytime there is an installation or cystoscope etc there are small but real risks of problems. Hence the 6 on 6 off then 6 more. It bothered me for a few months as so many have a different maintenance regimen but, you have to trust something or someone! I did quit any carbonated drinks that can irritate the urinary system (think of a dirty penny in coke after about 12 hours-it is clean). I quit any alcohol (I didn't drink much before)as it also is an irritant. I also include dark berries (pomegranate or blueberries) via drink or berry as they are high in anti oxidants. To top it off I scheduled my yearly scope off by 6 months so with my regular physical we do a cytology as another non invasive test. Who knows what maintenance is best? Let's trust you are done! Get back on the golf course!
Last edit: 4 years 4 months ago by Alan.
I'm optimistic to stay clear and I already have my next cystoscopy scheduled in 3 months . My symptoms are so much improved since I was diognosed and treated.
Nicke is correct that the other, less effective drugs, are not replacements for BCG in a maintenance regimine. You have the advantage of having had some BCG. Now the most important thing is to be scrupulous about getting to your urologist for the 3 months checkups and reporting any unusual symptoms ASAP. The odds are good that you will be fine!!
One part of me is happy to not do maintenance but the other part of me thinks we should just do it per what seems to be the protocol.

Richard "Dick" Lee Balogh
November 13, 1936 – June 17, 2020
Richard Lee Balogh (Dick), of Friendswood, Texas was born on November 13, 1936, in Huntington, West Virginia to parents Stephen and Martha Balogh, passed away to be with his Heavenly Father, on June 17, 2020.
Dick moved his family to Houston, Texas and worked for the Flight Operations Division at NASA for Philco-Ford in the Mission Control Center before joining Lockheed Martin Aerospace in Clear Lake, Texas, in 1968 and retired in 1995, but continued to work as consultant for several years. He was instrumental in writing proposals to obtain government contracts. He also helped develop a unique skill of coaching for Team Development between different departments. Dick was a proud American and Christian. Dick enjoyed working in the yard and even planted his own oak trees from acorns collected from different states across the country, that are currently thriving in his yard today. Dick was also an avid coin collector, as you can ask all of his grandchildren.
Friends are cordially invited to the visitation with the family and celebrate the life of Richard (Dick) Lee Balogh, on Wednesday, June 24, 2020 from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. at the Jeter Memorial Funeral Home, 311 N. Friendswood Dr., Friendswood, Texas 77546 (281) 992-7200.
The funeral service will be held on Thursday, June 25, 2020 at 10:00 A.M. at the Jeter Memorial Funeral Home with Pastor Ron Hindt officiating.
Condolences may be sent to the Balogh family in care of Jeter Memorial Funeral Home at www.jeterfuneralhome.com.

Praying for the Lord's comfort to Betty and family, at this time of their loss,, and remembering the years of love and togetherness they were able to share.
Gone but will never be forgotten.
His passion for coin collecting was second to none and knew what it meant to provide quality service in industry.
Peace be with you, Dick.
My condolences to Grandma Betty.
Jeff & Nancy Johnson
Grandpa Dick, as he was known to us and our children, came into our lives via the Reider family. You never would of known Dicks age if it wasn't listed here. He was young at heart and as inquisitive as a child. He would examine something, or a conversation and then ask "why?" or "how?". He was passionate about many things but seemed to enjoy his coin collecting and time with family most of all. He will be missed deeply. Our prayers and condolences to Grandma Betty, family and friends.
Pam Gardner
Uncle "Bud" as he was affectionately known to us will be greatly missed. He was an influential part of our lives growing up and later as adults. He has been a surrogate father to us the past 32 years. He and Aunt Betty have always been an integral part of the important celebrations and gatherings of our clan. Throughout the years they were part of family birthdays, graduations, baptisms, and marriages. Between the three of us nieces, he was regarded like a grandpa to our seven children and a great-grandpa to our twelve grandchildren. Christmases are among our fondest memories. We always had a "nose-off" contest to see which of the group could come nearest in size to him. A few got close, but no one exceeded this infamous Balogh feature. We also had a white elephant exchange and the tackier the gift, the better. He was keenly competitive and creatively managed to outdo our best efforts. Every. Time. His razor sharp, dry wit kept us on our toes and will be sorely missed. On a more serious note, our uncle was by our side in the trying times of life. Through illness or surgery or loss he was present to lend his kind and supportive presence. He lives on in our hearts and sweetest memories as a man of integrity, intelligence, wit, and love. We are forever thankful for the happiness and love he found with Aunt Betty. We love you always, your "fave" nieces, Pam, Mindy, and Jenny.
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever." Revelations 21:4
Bonnie Gommel
We will miss you Uncle Dick. Our Balogh Christmas parties won't be the same without you there.

Although I am not really investing in the new gTLD domain names right now, I think it's interesting to see what is being done with the domain names that are developed and being used by their owners.
Instead of relying on reports of newly launched new gTLD domain names from bloggers and/or domain registries, you can use Google to see what new gTLD domain names are indexed in the search engine. It seems like Google may index some new gTLD domain names that are only being used as a forwarder to another website, but this search is a good way to see what is indexed.
As someone who is interested in the marketing and usage of the new gTLD domain names more than buying them, I think it's neat to see what domain names are being used and who is using them. Doing this type of search might be a good idea for people looking to invest to see how other domain names are being used.
I think one major key to new gTLD domain names having aftermarket value is the usage of them, and this Google search shortcut is a good way to track usage on your own.
Elliot thanks for this post. It is people like you that make this industry awesome!
Thank you. I've invested in new TLDs and like to see how well they are doing. This is very helpful information.

Q: If I paid $7.33 for an item,what was the original price? What is the formula for this question. I've tried taking the $\$7.33$ & multiply it by $7\%$ sales tax then subtracting that from the $\$7.33$ but not sure if that's correct.

A: If the price without tax is $x$ and the tax is $p%$, then the final price is
$$x(1+\frac{p}{100})\,.$$
To get the original price you need to divide by $(1+\frac{p}{100})$, which in this case is $1.07$.

Dawn Journal: Safely Past Mars
Dear Dawnlight Saving Times,
Now boosted into a new solar orbit courtesy of Mars, Dawn continues its interplanetary journey. The spacecraft is healthy and coasting, keeping its main antenna pointed to Earth, as it will for most of the next three months. After that, it will resume its familiar routine of devoting most of the time to gently thrusting with its ion propulsion system, with only a short period each week for communications.
Following the last log, as the probe succumbed to the gravitational pull of the red planet, its trajectory gradually began to change. Flying true to the plan, Dawn swooped close to Mars and then left it behind on a new course, having taken advantage of Mars's gravity.
The spacecraft plunged to within 542 kilometers (337 miles) of the planet, reaching that lowest altitude at 4:27:58 pm PST on February 17 [00:27:58 UTC February 18]. The last time it had been so close to another solar system body was on September 27, 2007, as it left Earth to begin its long journey to the asteroid belt. In the intervening time, it traveled alone (although always accompanied by the good wishes of space enthusiasts on its home planet and throughout the cosmos) for 1.06 billion kilometers (661 million miles).
NASA / JPL / MPS / DLR / IDA, and the Dawn Flight Team
Dawn image of Tempe Terra, Mars
This image of Mars was captured by the Dawn spacecraft near its closest approach during its February 17, 2009 gravity assist flyby. The photo wasn't taken for science purposes, as Mars is being studied very well by orbiters in place there; instead, what we know about Mars is being used here to test the performance of Dawn's cameras. The image shows a portion of the fretted and cratered northwest margin of Tempe Terra, Mars. The scarp of the highland / lowland boundary is illuminated by the light of dawn, and traces of fog appear in the lower portion. The area covered by the image is about 55 kilometers across.
The image shows a portion of the fretted and cratered northwest margin of Tempe Terra, Mars. The scarp of the highland / lowland boundary is illuminated by the light of dawn, and traces of fog appear in the lower portion. The area covered by the image is about 55 kilometers (34 miles) across. The targeting of the encounter was well within acceptable limits. Before embarking on the mission, long before launch, engineers chose 500 kilometers (311 miles) as a convenient initial target altitude for planning purposes. With the extraordinary capability of the ion propulsion system, Dawn easily could accommodate significant deviations from the plan. To accomplish its mission, the probe needed to fly anywhere through a window shaped liked a croquet wicket, extending from more than 750 kilometers (466 miles) above the planet down to 300 kilometers (186 miles). (The lower limit was chosen for safety, maintaining a comfortable distance from the tenuous atmosphere and other threats the spacecraft was not designed to handle.) The width at the bottom of the wicket was almost 670 kilometers (415 miles).
In an effort to broaden our readership beyond only those sentient beings in the universe who share in the passion for the exploration of the solar system, the November and January logs included some material for anyone passionate about archery. We compared Dawn's flight by Mars to shooting an arrow at a target 47 kilometers (29 miles) away. The objective was to hit a small region just outside the 30-centimeter (1-foot) red bull's-eye. For the readers who have joined us because of that topic, we return to it once again here. (We do not plan to expand upon the croquet theme in future logs but hope our new readers attracted by references to that sport will remain with us anyway.)
Our original target altitude of 500 kilometers corresponded to about 17.2 centimeters (6 3/4 inches) from the center of the bull's-eye. Using navigational data from January, we predicted Dawn would fly by at 543 kilometers (337 miles) above the surface, the arrow sinking into the target about 17.4 centimeters (less than 6 7/8 inches) from the center, just outside the red circle. Now we know that that prediction was in error by the equivalent of about 40 micrometers (less than 1/600 of an inch). The arrow was off from that expected location by about the thickness of a hair.
The location of the original target was at the 11:00 position, but the base of the wicket-shaped window extended from where the hour hand would be at 10:51:02 to 11:03:49. (The wicket is not as symmetrical as official croquet rules might require.) As a reminder, because we are concerned only about the hour hand, the tick marks adjacent to the 11:00 position correspond to 10:48 and 11:12, so this wicket is very narrow. In January, it appeared our arrow was headed for about 11:03:42. In fact, the actual trajectory took the spacecraft through the window at the 11:03:40 position.
The gravity assist was extremely accurate indeed. The archers hit their target and won the big prize: the continuation of the mission of exploration in the asteroid belt, seeking answers to questions about the dawn of the solar system. In addition to the gravity assist, which was essential to the success of the mission, the operations team had devised a plan to acquire some bonus data to aid in the calibration of the science instruments, as described last month.
In order to point its instruments at their calibration targets, the probe oriented itself for a short time in such a way that light reflected from Mars reached its "star tracker." This unit (with a mystifying name, whose origin is lost in the dim mists of time) tracks stars in order to help the attitude control system establish the spacecraft's orientation (or "attitude") in the zero-gravity of spaceflight. The tracker's camera images stars and its internal computer recognizes patterns, much as you might recognize some of the lovely constellations visible from your planet and use them to orient yourself at night. When Mars light entered the star tracker, the camera was dazzled, temporarily unable to see the stars. If you reside on a planet with a large moon, you may have experienced a similar phenomenon. It is much harder to see stars when the bright moon interferes.
Engineers had anticipated this behavior. Because they knew the star tracker likely would be unable to provide useful data to the attitude control system for a while, gyroscopes had been powered on well beforehand. Using these spinning masses, attitude control can sense turns and keep track of how the attitude changes even when the star tracker is not yielding accurate information.
As another preventive measure, commands stored on board temporarily precluded protective software, known as fault protection, from seeing any alerts indicating that the star tracker was not able to produce valid data. Because they expected the data to be invalid, engineers did not want fault protection to respond under the mistaken impression that the tracker was unhealthy.
As Dawn approached Mars, with instruments powered and beginning their calibrations, the light reached the star tracker, but it performed better than expected. After reaching its minimum distance, as the spacecraft rotated during its ascent, the star tracker's line of sight moved closer still to Mars. Almost two minutes after the closest approach, the device finally was overwhelmed with light and reported that it could not track stars, declaring itself to be nonoperational and causing a software flag to be hoisted to alert interested parties. As planned, attitude control relied on gyros and fault protection remained blind to the alert.
About 11 minutes later, as the spacecraft's attitude continued to change, the star tracker's view moved far enough from Mars that the unit once again could discern stars. When it recognized patterns, it reported its data to attitude control, which readily used them. All was well, and the tracker had functioned better than anticipated, identifying stars with Mars closer to its line of sight than anticipated.
Another seven minutes after that, as Dawn's momentum continued to carry it away from Mars, the stored command to restore fault protection's ability to see any star tracker problems was executed. The star tracker was indeed working well, but the compulsive reader will note that the chronology above does not include lowering the virtual flag that was raised when the tracker announced it had stopped tracking stars. A software bug, hardy enough to elude the operations team and survive the rigors of the deep-space environment, prevented the flag from coming back down when the tracker resumed normal operation. Although attitude control was making good use of the data, when fault protection saw the flag, it fulfilled its function; treating the tracker as if it were unhealthy, the protective software deactivated the unit.
Fault protection's next step was to try to use the backup star tracker. Another bug, identified last year while the spacecraft was in flight, deprived the second tracker of the time necessary to complete its activation routine. (That bug has been fixed in a new version of the software scheduled to be transmitted to the spacecraft before ion thrusting resumes in June.) With no star tracker available, fault protection correctly followed the plan its designers had given it: it interrupted the calibrations, powered off the instruments, and put the spacecraft into "safe mode," awaiting instructions from Earth on what to do next.
The operations team, following events on distant Earth (delayed by the more than 19 minutes it took radio signals to cross the separation), observed the signature of safe mode. There was no urgency in responding, however, because the instrument calibrations could not be restarted, and the crucial gravity assist was unaffected by the spacecraft's activities. Mars would sling Dawn in the intended direction without regard for the probe's actions.
The cause of the "safing" was quickly determined, and the team returned the spacecraft to its normal operational configuration within about two days. In addition, all the bonus calibration data that the instruments had transferred to the spacecraft's main computer before they were deactivated were transmitted to Earth.
The gamma ray and neutron detector (GRaND) obtained excellent measurements of both gamma rays and neutrons from Mars. The instrument has been operated a number of times in flight to measure high-energy radiation that pervades space as it strikes the spacecraft, but, unlike the other science sensors onboard, it can detect bodies only when it is very close to them. Dawn's other instruments have observed distant planets and stars several times already, but that is not possible for GRaND, even with its suite of sophisticated detectors. Mars is the only occasion in the mission for it to observe a specific, well-characterized object. It was powered on in January in anticipation of this opportunity.
GRaND obtained a thorough set of data as Dawn traveled down to its lowest point, despite being over the night side of the planet part of that time, because it does not require illumination by the Sun to "see" its subject. It acquired additional valuable data as the spacecraft receded from Mars. This was GRaND's only measurement of a planetary body; and, apart from being quite brief, it was performed in much the same way it will be when Dawn orbits each of its protoplanetary destinations. It was especially good fortune that space radiation levels were relatively low during the encounter with Mars, making the radiation escaping from the atmosphere and surface particularly clear for GRaND. Scientists will compare GRaND's data with measurements of gamma rays and neutrons by the Mars Odyssey spacecraft (which has been studying the planet for more than seven years), helping them prepare for interpreting the unique observations it will make of Vesta and Ceres to reveal many of the atomic constituents of those protoplanets.

Dawn's trajectory as of September 2009
The visible and infrared spectrometer's data were not stored in the spacecraft's main computer memory before the safing because the camera's data had priority. One of the images the camera acquired is shown at the top of this log.
With the benefit of an excellent gravity assist, the Dawn project is gratified to have Mars behind and Vesta now so clearly ahead. Having obtained even more than was needed from the red planet, Dawn is ever more eager to press on to its destinations in the asteroid belt.
Dawn is 4.1 million kilometers (2.5 million miles) from Mars. It is 336 million kilometers (209 million miles) from Earth, or 915 times as far as the moon and 2.26 times as far as the Sun. Radio signals, traveling at the universal limit of the speed of light, take 37 minutes to make the round trip.

P.S. While the spacecraft is not concerned with changes between standard time and daylight saving time, its human colleagues are. Your correspondent, however, subscribes neither to the spacecraft's indifference nor to the more traditional rigid adherence. He does follow the convention of advancing clocks, as we do today, but rather than setting his clocks back with everyone else late in the year, he saves that extra hour. Every 24 years, that should give him one extra day.

CAD system improves pulmonary nodule detection on CTs
Matt O'Connor | July 17, 2019 | Artificial Intelligence
A newly created three-dimensional (3D) neural network can improve the detection of pulmonary nodules on CT scans, according to a study published July 12 in PLOS ONE.
Researchers from China combined three convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to create their Amalgamated-Convolutional Neural Network (A-CNN) which achieved a sensitivity of up to 85.1% for detecting pulmonary nodules, according to Wenkai Huang, with Guangzhou University in China, and colleagues.
"Compared to other methods, A-CNN achieved high sensitivity and better detection results for pulmonary nodules," the researchers wrote. "For a (computer-aided detection) CAD system, sensitivity is a key measure because it reflects the performance of the model in correctly classifying nodules and achieving more convenient medical monitoring," Wenkai et al. explained.
Lung cancer ranks as the top cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, but when caught early, the 5-year survival rate can increase from up to 16% to 70%, the authors wrote. Therefore, early-detection of pulmonary nodules can be life-saving.
Wenkai and colleagues trained their A-CNN using LUNA16 and Ali Tianchi datasets which, when preprocessed, included 326,570 lung nodule slices. That data was divided into a training set of 266,570 slices, 30,000 slice verification set and test set of another 30,000 slices. Broken down into nodules, that amounted to more than 14,500 nodules for training, 1,795 for testing and 1,656 in the verification set.
Nodules less than 5mm were discarded and random 10-fold validation was used to verify the algorithm and test the effectiveness of the A-CNN model.
Overall, when the average numbers of false positives per scan was 0.125 and 0.25, the sensitivity of the A-CNN algorithm came in at an 87.1% and 85.1%, respectively.
"These scores were 5.4% and 0.5% higher than those of the current optimal algorithm; thus, our A-CNN model can improve the efficiency of radiological analysis of CT," the authors wrote.


While it's not a replacement for detailed, methodical planning, I use a simple "Power Of Three" approach to keep my work and my goals aligned. Its purpose is to prioritize and create a framework that shapes detailed planning. It works because it highlights meaningful outcomes alongside finished work. And it works as effectively for work that you manage as it does for your own work.
Given that part of the Power Of Three is the power to improve working and workplaces, I'm happy to share it.
Underlying this model are two clear principles. You can only effectively focus on three things without priorities eroding. You can only do one thing at a time.
To make the Power Of Three work for you, promise yourself time each day, week, month, quarter, and year for a review session to define the right three options for each interval. At the start of each review, also reflect on how effective you were at maintaining your focus on three in the period prior. For intervals of a month and longer, a midpoint review will also keep you from drifting past the point where you can't recover direction.
It requires commitment to take that time and discipline to say "no" to what falls outside your commitments, but the result of the Power Of Three, in balance, productivity, and effectiveness, will make the effort worth it.

Der Ryck (gesprochen ) ist ein 30,7 Kilometer langer Fluss im Osten von Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Deutschland), der bei Greifswald in die Dänische Wiek als Teil des Greifswalder Boddens (Ostsee) mündet.

Name
Der Name leitet sich vom polabischen Wort Rjeka bzw. Rěka für "Fluss" ab. In Urkunden aus dem 13. Jahrhundert werden auch die Namen "Reke" und "Hilda" (wie der ursprüngliche Name des benachbarten Klosters Eldena) genannt. "Hilda" ist dabei der älteste überlieferte Name des Flusses; eine Urkunde von 1241 bezieht sich auf den "Hildam fluvium". Zwar ist die älteste urkundliche Erwähnung des Klosters als "Hilda" von 1199 und damit älter, doch ist gleichwohl davon auszugehen, dass das Kloster nach dem Fluss benannt wurde und nicht umgekehrt.

Flussverlauf

Der Ryck entspringt im Landkreis Vorpommern-Rügen als Ryckgraben. Dieser wiederum hat einen hydrologischen und einen namentlichen Ursprung. Der hydrologische Ursprung liegt im nordwestlichen Teil, Bremerhagen Forst, des Dorfes Bremerhagen in der Gemeinde Sundhagen. Das dort entspringende namenlose Gewässer fließt erst west- und dann südwärts und stößt südöstlich von Hohenwarth (zu Grimmen) auf den namentlichen Ryckgraben. Dieser zweigt beim Grimmener Wohnplatz Heidebrink vom Schwedengraben ab, der bei der Brücke der B 96 wiederum in den Ryckgraben mündet.

Der Ryckgraben fließt von der Vereinigung von hydrologischem und nominellem Oberlauf in östlichen Richtungen. Einige Kilometer lang liegt sein Wasserspiegel bei 20 cm unter NHN, gehalten von einem Pumpwerk südlich von Horst. 9,9 km vor der Mündung ins Meer erreicht das Gewässer die Stadtgrenze von Greifswald und wird ab hier Ryck genannt. Ab dem Heimattierpark Greifswald ist der Ryck in die Greifswalder Befestigungsanlagen einbezogen. Dann unterquert der Ryck eine Eisenbahnbrücke der Bahnstrecke Greifswald–Ladebow und gleich danach die Steinbecker Brücke mit der Stralsunder Straße. Ab hier ist er die letzten fünf Kilometer bis zum Meer schiffbar. Hier bildet er auch einen Teil des Greifswalder Hafens, der vor der Altstadt allerdings nur noch Museumshafen ist. Im Ortsteil Wieck überspannt ihn die historische Wiecker Holzklappbrücke. Daran schließen sich Anlagen zur Sportschifffahrt von Yachtclubs und das in den 2010er Jahren neu gebaute Sturmflutsperrwerk an. Danach mündet er in die Dänische Wiek, den südlichen Teil des Greifswalder Boddens. Das Einzugsgebiet des Ryck umfasst ca. 23.400 ha.

Boltenhäger Teich

Ursprünglich existierte im Nordwesten Greifswalds der erstmals 1288 urkundlich erwähnte Boltenhäger Teich, auch Ryckteich genannt, den der Ryck durchfloss. Bei dem Teich handelte es sich um ein relativ flaches Gewässer, das schließlich im 19. Jahrhundert vollständig austrocknete.

Baberow
Im Norden Greifswalds existierte zudem die Baberow, einer der damaligen Nebenarme des Ryck.

Altes und Neues Tief
Vor der Nordverlegung seiner Mündung (Neues Tief) um das Jahr 1300 mündete der Ryck direkt nördlich des Klosters Eldena auf dem Gebiet des heutigen Strandbades Eldena in die Dänische Wiek (Altes Tief). Die beiden Mündungsarme existierten über 250 Jahre nebeneinander; erst in der zweiten Hälfte des 16. Jahrhunderts wurde das Alte Tief gesperrt, um der Versandung des Ryck vorzubeugen. Das Strandbad selbst wurde größtenteils erst 1971/1972 durch Seesandaufspülung zur heutigen Ausdehnung erweitert.

Wasserrechtliche Einordnung
Der Ryck ist zum größten Teil ein Gewässer zweiter Ordnung im Sinne des § 48 Abs. 1 Nr. 2 Landeswassergesetz Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (LWaG M-V), lediglich die letzten 5,5 km sind Gewässer erster Ordnung nach § 48 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 und geltem als Bundeswasserstraße.

Der Ryck ist der Flussgebietseinheit "Warnow/Peene" nach § 1b Abs. 1 Nr. 10 WHG, § 130 Abs. 1 Nr. 4 LWaG M-V zugeordnet.

Der Fluss liegt im Zuständigkeitsbereich des Wasser- und Bodenverbands Ryck-Ziese.

Bundeswasserstraße
Der schiffbare Teil des Ryck (Ry) ab Ostkante der Steinbecker Brücke in Greifswald (km 25,11) ist eine Bundeswasserstraße der Klasse IV. Dieser 5,5 Kilometer lange Teil ist gemäß § 1 Abs. 1 Nr. 20 SeeSchStrO eine Seeschifffahrtsstraße, auf der die Seeschifffahrtsstraßen-Ordnung gilt; er fällt in den Zuständigkeitsbereich des Wasserstraßen- und Schifffahrtsamtes Ostsee.

Wirtschaftliche Nutzung

Als wirtschaftlicher Faktor war der Ryck bereits im Mittelalter für die damals noch junge Stadt Greifswald von großer Bedeutung; allerdings war der Ryck schon damals erst ab dem Gebiet des heutigen Museumshafens schiffbar und erlangte nie Relevanz für den Binnenhandel. Der Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts angelegte und zunächst einzige Greifswalder Hafen war daher ein Seehafen. Durch ihn hatte die Stadt Verbindung zu den großen Ostseehäfen, erhielt 1250 lübsches Stadtrecht und wurde 1278 Mitglied der Hanse. Um das Jahr 1300 wurde dann der Wiecker Hafen angelegt; in diesem Rahmen wurde auch die Ryckmündung begradigt (siehe oben). Bereits im 14. und dann im 15. Jahrhundert genügten Ryck und Greifswalder Hafen allerdings nicht mehr den Anforderungen des Schiffsverkehrs, da er – anders als die Häfen in Stralsund, Wismar oder Rostock – versandete. Der Flusslauf musste schon damals regelmäßig gereinigt und vertieft werden. Als am Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts die Bedeutung der Hanse zurückging, wurde der Hafen über 150 Jahre vernachlässigt. Die Wassertiefe betrug weniger als zwei Meter, sodass die großen Schiffe nur noch in Wieck anlegen konnten. Ab 1858 wurde der Fluss zu einer modernen Wasserstraße mit 56 Metern Breite und 3,2 Metern Tiefe ausgebaut. Heute spielen die Häfen von Greifswald und Wieck wirtschaftlich nur noch eine untergeordnete Rolle und dienen hauptsächlich der Freizeitschifffahrt. Der ehemalige Stadthafen wurde zum Museumshafen ausgebaut und ist durch eine Fährverbindung mit Wieck und Ludwigsburg verbunden. Die nördlich davon gelegene ehemalige Greifswalder Saline, im Mittelalter ausschlaggebend für die Stadtgründung und lange Zeit bedeutender Wirtschaftsfaktor, ist insbesondere in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren exzessiv als Müllhalde genutzt worden. In den 1990er Jahren wurde diese Nutzung beendet und nach Sicherungsarbeiten Erdreich aufgeschüttet, so dass eine markante Hügellandschaft entstand, die durch eine Schafherde beweidet wird.

Landschaftsgestalt
Die Rycklandschaft ist von Wiesenniederungen geprägt, deren zahlreiche kleine Wasserläufe den Fluss speisen. Der Ryck weist nur ein sehr geringes Gefälle und deshalb auch nur eine geringe Fließgeschwindigkeit auf. Während am Oberlauf nur 0,8 bis 1,5 Meter Wassertiefe gemessen werden, ist der schiffbare Teil etwa vier Meter tief; erst vom westlichen Stadtrand Greifswalds bis zur Mündung beim Stadtteil Wieck ist der Fluss schiffbar. Von Wackerow und der westlichen Greifswalder Feldmark an ist der Fluss bis zum Greifswalder Ortsteil Wieck beidseitig eingedeicht und damit von den ehemaligen Überflutungsflächen (Salzwiesen und Saline nördlich der Greifswalder Altstadt) abgeschnitten. Der Wasserstand wird durch eine Schleuse und ein Pumpwerk auf Höhe der Hunnenstraße reguliert. Die Südseite des Rycks ist auf dessen etwa sechs Kilometer langen Lauf durch Greifswald nahezu komplett bebaut, wohingegen sich auf seiner Nordseite zwischen den nur spärlich bebauten Ortsteilen Steinbeckervorstadt und Wieck eine weitläufige Wiesenlandschaft mit dem Ladebower Loch befindet, das bis zur Eindeichung in den 1950er Jahren ein Altarm des Ryck war und seit 1994 als geschützter Landschaftsbestandteil unter Naturschutz steht.

Vor seiner Unterschutzstellung wurde das Ladebower Loch mehrmals als Spülfeld für Baggeraushub aus dem Bereich des Wiecker Hafens genutzt. Seit Ende 2007 läuft die Ausbaggerung des Ryck vom Museumshafen bis zum Wiecker Hafen an, um den seit seiner letzten Ausbaggerung vor über zwanzig Jahren auf drei Meter Tiefe verschlickten Fluss wieder auf vier Meter zu vertiefen. Als Spülfeld dient nun ein östlich des Ryckwäldchens gelegenes Gebiet.

Hochwasserschutz mit Sperrwerk

Bei bestimmten Wetterlagen, insbesondere bei Nordostwind, drückt das Boddenwasser bis weit in das Greifswalder Stadtgebiet herein. Besonders gefährdete Stellen wurden erst im 19. oder 20. Jahrhundert eingedeicht, jedenfalls nach 1847.

Im September 2008 begannen die ersten Arbeiten für den Hochwasserschutz des Greifswalder Gebietes, als in Eldena ein Deich angelegt wurde. Das lange geplante Sturmflutsperrwerk an der Mündung des Ryck wurde nach sechs Jahren Bauzeit am 27. April 2016 feierlich eingeweiht. Damit werden die tieferliegenden Baugrundstücke der Hansestadt Greifswald vor Überflutung durch Sturmhochwasser geschützt. Das Sperrwerk nutzt ein Drehsegment mit horizontaler Achse, das bei Wasserständen ab 5,7 Meter am Pegel und einer Vorhersage von 1,10 Meter über Mittelwasser den Flusslauf verschließt. Mit dem Bau des Sperrwerks ist die Fertigstellung des Deichsystems in Greifswald-Wieck und Eldena verbunden. Der Bau des Sperrwerks mit dem entsprechenden Deichanschluss, eines der größten Projekte des Generalplans Küsten- und Hochwasserschutz im Land Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, kostete 42 Millionen Euro.

Durch den Bau des Sperrwerks wurde die Breite der Einfahrt in den Wiecker Hafen von 60 auf 21 Meter verengt. Dies erhöht die Fließgeschwindigkeit und steigert den Schwierigkeitsgrad bei der Einfahrt von Segelbooten unter Segeln.

Brücken
Die bedeutendsten Flussquerungen sind von West nach Ost die Brücken für die Bundesstraßen B 96 und B 105, die Eisenbahnstrecke nach Stralsund, die Greifswalder Hafenbahn, die Brücke der Steinbecker-/Stralsunder Straße in Greifswald, sowie die Klappbrücke im Ortsteil Wieck. Diese Brücke stammt aus dem Jahr 1887 und wird nach wie vor per Hand geöffnet. Die Eisenbahnbrücke der Hafenbahn zum Seehafen Ladebow ist unlängst durch einen Neubau ersetzt worden, in Betrieb genommen am 15. Januar 2014.

Zuflüsse
Der Ryck wird von Entwässerungsgräben und folgenden namentlich bekannten und/oder klassifizierten Gewässern gespeist.

– Der Wasser- und Bodenverband Ryck-Ziese benutzt zweierlei Gewässerbezeichnungen. Die in diese Tabelle eingetragenen stehen schon seit einigen Jahren in seinem nach Mitgliedsgemeinden unterteilten Kartenwerk. In den zugehörigen Tabellen des Verbandes stehen auch die mit Punkten unterteilten Nummern, die ins Gewässerportal des Landesamtes für Naturschutz und Geologie (LUNG) übernommen wurden. –

Television presenter and garden designer Katie Rushworth will be lighting up Bingley this year.
The horticulturist, who presents ITV's Love Your Garden with Ilkley-born Alan Titchmarsh, will switch-on the town's lights on Saturday, November 30.
The TV star moved to the area four years ago.
The switch-on takes place at 4.30pm.


All Indiana University Bloomington students.
Indiana University respects the right of all students to observe their religious holidays and will make reasonable accommodation, upon request, for such observances.
It is the policy of Indiana University that instructors must reasonably accommodate students who want to observe their religious holidays at times when academic requirements conflict with those observances. This policy is intended to ensure that both faculty and students are fully aware of their rights and responsibilities in the accommodation of students' religious observances.
The Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs will prepare, for guidance, a list of dates of the major religious holidays. This list, policy, and a note to the effect that students wanting accommodations for observance of religious holidays must contact their instructors, will be brought to the attention of both students and faculty. The Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs will write regularly to the various deans and chairs, indicating that they, in turn, are to inform the faculty (including associate instructors under their supervision) concerning this policy and of the importance of observing it.
If a conflict with a religious observance exists, a student must make a request to the instructor for a reasonable accommodation for that observance by the end of the second week of the course. Any relevant change to the course calendar affords a new opportunity to make such a request in a timely manner. The request is to be made in writing on a standardized form to be used for this purpose, and copies of that form will be made widely available.
The instructor and the student should discuss what a reasonable accommodation should include in a given case. Generally, it is insufficient to require a student to forgo taking an exam or doing some other major assignment even if the instructor agrees to average the remaining exams or other assignments. The student must be given the opportunity to do appropriate make‐up work that is intrinsically no more difficult than the original exam or assignment.
If the instructor and student agree on the accommodation, the plan should be carried out.
If after discussion there is no consensus on the accommodation, either party or both may ask the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs to mediate. The VPFAA will confer with both the instructor and the student, and may seek advice from anyone else who could provide helpful information. If the instructor and student still cannot reach consensus over the accommodation, the VPFAA will then make a determination about the appropriate accommodation.
Either the instructor or the student may appeal the VPFAA's decision to the Office of Affirmative Action. Final authority for determining the outcome rests with the Provost.
The policy and procedure above are to be printed in the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct: Procedures for Bloomington Campus.
All instructors are encouraged to include on the syllabus and to announce at the beginning of the semester the policy and procedure as it applies to religious holidays.
Orientation programs for new students will inform incoming students about this policy and urge them to check for conflicts before the deadline for informing their instructors. Particular attention should be paid, in this matter, to the orientation of international students.

Why are we looking for another Earth?
Opinion Op-Eds
In our era, humanity is discovering other worlds, amazing varieties of physical and cosmic conditions, and perhaps one day may discover life on another world
Published: February 27, 2017 17:48 By Nidhal Guessoum, Special to Gulf News
Image Credit: Luis Vazquez/©Gulf News
The announcement that an international team of researchers had found a planetary system with 7 "Earth-like" planets orbiting a cool (pun intended) small red star 40 light-years away brought loads of excitement and a series of questions. Have we really found other earths? Are they "habitable"? Do they harbour any kind of life? Could we go there, at least in the future?
I'll get to these questions shortly. For now, let me hail a few significant aspects of this discovery. First, one of the observatories that participated in the research is in Morocco, near Marrakesh, at a mountainous site called Oukaimeden, at an altitude of 2,700 metres. And indeed, two of the team members are Moroccan, and a third one is Saudi, part of a big collaboration that included a Belgian institution (which provided the telescope in Morocco and other instruments), Nasa with its Spitzer infra-red space satellite, and institutions from the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland and South Africa.
Secondly, two of the telescopes that contributed observations and data for the discovery, including the one in Morocco, are no bigger than 60 centimetres in diameter.
Thirdly, the star, called TRAPPIST-1 after the Belgian 'Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope' project, is twenty times more common than our sun but 2,000 times dimmer, representing both an opportunity and a challenge for future searches...
That's for the main news. However, in the excitement and the rush to communicate to the public the fact that this is a historic discovery, some essential ideas were lost in translation.
Indeed, while the planets were described as 'Earth-like', they are not necessarily "like Earth". The planets have diameters ranging between 76 per cent and 113 per cent of Earth's diameter, and masses between 0.4 and 1.4 that of our planet. But we know nothing about whether they carry an atmosphere, how thick or how thin and with what gases, what the temperatures are on those worlds, how fast they rotate around themselves, are their axes inclined, do they have seasons, and many factors that really distinguish our planet from the hell-like environment of Venus (which by the above description is also 'Earth-like') or the cool but unprotected surface of Mars.
Secondly, when astronomers say that such worlds are 'habitable', what they mean is that they orbit their star at distances that make water — if it exists there — potentially liquid. Emphasis on "if it exists" and "potentially"! Water is an easy molecule to form, and we have found it in many different cosmic environments, but whether it will have accumulated anywhere on those planets and remained there is a big open question. Indeed, water can easily evaporate, especially if the atmosphere on a planet is too thin, so finding it there in liquid form is far from guaranteed, even if the planet happens to be in the right 'goldilocks', 'habitable' zone.
So, to make a long story short, and I don't mean to disappoint you, dear reader, there is a world of difference between a planet having the size of the Earth and it carrying oceans or even lakes of water, let alone having any form of life.
So why are we are so excited about these planets? Could we possibly go visit them in the future? Sorry, but no. With our present space technologies, that is, spacecraft travelling at 50,000km/h, it would take roughly one million years to get there! And even if we built small boxes that could travel close to the speed of light (a futuristic possibility), they would take decades or centuries to reach there, carrying only tiny cameras and sensors, and still requiring loads of energy to be sent there...
So what are we excited about? Well, this is the most striking planetary system we have ever found; not even the solar system has so many rocky planets. And although we have only found two dozen or so planets of this kind so far, the statistics indicate that in our galaxy alone, there could be over a billion of them. Surely some of them will have life, right? Maybe. But at least the opportunities are there, and generations of researchers will be busy "dissecting" these worlds (from afar, with telescopes and other instruments) to try to find signatures of life, at least the primitive kind and study various issues of planetary science.
So let us look at the bright side now. With small telescopes on high mountains, or for our region large telescopes on mid-altitude mountains, amazing planetary systems can be found, scientific and educational opportunities open up, and everyone can contribute to this fascinating cosmic exploration and adventure.
Future generations will envy us and our children. In our era, humanity is discovering other worlds, amazing varieties of physical and cosmic conditions, and perhaps one day soon the grand prize: the discovery of life on another world. We are taking strides in that direction, and each step has brought wonderful samples. On with the grand adventure!

My return to reading, the white working class, and an adieu to Rosemary Bechler
The issues of democracy and nationalism have never felt so urgent.

The pleasure of finalising a book written under pressure is that you can start to read other people's. The first I turned to is by my friend Henry Porter. The Old Enemy is the third of his fast-paced and utterly modern Paul Sampson series of thrillers. My favourite character is the brilliant young, techy Syrian refugee, known as Firefly.
Then I read Natasha Brown's Assembly. It has a lasting, poetic impact. She draws you in to her experience of race and class in the City of London and a country estate – pinnacles of financial achievement and social supremacy. "I reject it… Even up here… the thumping nationalism of this place." It's superb, taut and compelling.
Now I'm reading my neighbour Chris Davies's brilliant Avoidance – a novel drawn from his unique family archive that reflects on the forgotten financial crash of 1873.
Class struggles
Best of all has been Tommy Sissons' A Small Man's England. Like Brown, he takes on race, class and nationalism, but from below, in a work of true originality. Finally, a left-wing argument rooted in the desire of white working-class men for personal agency.
When is the best moment for Tory rebels to strike against Boris Johnson?
Sissons writes about himself with masterly assurance. In part this is thanks to Goldsmiths, University of London, where Sissons studied – a unique institution whose management seems committed to a despicable strategy of closing down the very humanities that ensured Sissons could develop his voice. All support to the strike action to prevent this.
A Small Man's England combines a deceptively simple call for a socialist politics with passages of stunning fiction exploring the emotional realities of working-class life. Sissons engages big themes: extremism, criminality, masculinity, race, education, respect, community. Working-class boys often leave school at 16 without a job, unable to draw adult benefits until they are 18. A two-year vortex opens up from which many fail to return. Brought up to feel worthless, they treat others as worthless too, and seek significance in crime or fascism. To reverse this, "the white working-class boy must be spoken with not spoken to". Exactly so.
The Scottish Question
As Sissons shows, the left needs to identify with England – an imperative that fills many with revulsion. Can Scottish independence come to our rescue by ending the United Kingdom? The hope that it might is one reason I support Europe for Scotland. So far 12,800 people from every European country have signed our petition calling for EU leaders to make a just and inclusive initiative and offer Scotland generous terms to rejoin. I've been talking with the campaign's Italian and German organisers, Andrea Pisauro and Nina Jetter, about whether Emmanuel Macron, Mario Draghi or now Olaf Scholz could be the first to break the ice.
Starmer onwards?
Can Team Starmer provide a way to free England from its corruptions? Unlikely, under its chosen banner "Make Brexit work". Should Boris Johnson become an election loser, the Tories will replace him with Liz Truss. Being insane enough to believe in Brexit, she will call an election – and win, as the authentic beats the contrived every time.
Brexit is like a supernova. In 2016 the Great British sun emitted a huge pulse of democratic energy and is now turning into a black hole sucking everything into its dark gravity. Such a breakdown cannot "work". Replacement is the only course and when even Ken Clarke says we need a written constitution, it is a matter of time.
Rosemary Bechler's legacy
I loved to argue about these issues of democracy and nationalism with Rosemary Bechler. Her death in late November after a horrible illness cast a pall over the 20th anniversary of openDemocracy. Four of us came together in a garage in Tufnell Park, north London, in 2001 to plan its launch. Rosemary joined soon after. Her commitment to pluralism opened the site to new voices and made her its "soul". She agreed to an extraordinary last conversation. Assisted by oxygen, she told Adam Ramsay and me:
"Unlike much of the left I'm not 0bsessed with the truth, with having it, saying it, spelling it out. My first point of interest is the relationship: who is the speaker, who are they speaking to, what kind of relationship do they have, and what can happen between them. That can make for something better and richer and more complex…"
She'd have enjoyed A Small Man's England.
Context is everything
Twenty years ago we were politically alone when we took to the sea of cyberspace in the sieve of a website. Our aim was to resist the mental asphyxiation of New Labour. We might have failed but for 9/11, when we abandoned our print-epoch fortnightly approach, went daily and hosted a global exchange. From then on, openDemocracy became of the web rather than just on it. The 9/11 attacks were critical in more important ways too. Tony Blair and Alastair Campbell's mendacity began the process that led to Brexit and Boris Johnson, while Dick Cheney and George W Bush's occupation of Iraq initiated the catastrophe that led to Donald Trump. Now, we have entered the whirlpool of democracy's survival. Happy Christmas!
Anthony Barnett's "Taking Control! Humanity and America after Trump and the Pandemic" will be published by Repeater Books in March 2022

Energy Deregulation Blows Up in Texas
Hundreds of IndyMac Customers Line up to Get Their Money
Youth Face Depression-Era Unemployment Rates
GM Cuts Off Arm and Leg To 'Stay Alive'
From Volume 7, Issue 30 of EIR Online, Published July 22, 2008
July 17 (EIRNS)—The deregulation of the power sector in Texas by then-Gov. George W. Bush has caused an explosion in an "Enron"-style binge of speculative looting, with electricity prices up to 40 times the national average. Bush signed the dereg bill in 1998, saying: "Competition in the electric industry will benefit Texans by reducing monthly rates and offering consumers more choices." Within a few years of the bill's implementation, in 2002, the retail companies which were set up to buy electricity from competing producers, and then sell it to consumers, began going bankrupt, and the bottom-feeders were able to move in. Suez Energy Marketing NA (part of the French Suez group) figured out how to offer energy at $170 a mw hour, but end up selling it at $2,250 per mw hour—a 1400% increase.
The congested power lines in the state, which were not designed for free-market electricity transfers all over creation, helped force buyers into the spot market, where the sky's the limit.
July 14 (EIRNS)—IndyMac depositors were not taking their "soma" and instead of being lulled by false assurances, more than 200 were lined up outside the bank when it opened in Pasadena, California, demanding to get their funds. The LaRouche Youth Movement was there, exposing George Soros's role in bringing about the financial crisis, and presenting Lyndon LaRouche's unique solution to the crisis.
In a hilarious counter-operation, officials of the FDIC were also outside the bank, telling depositors to go home, that their money is safe. Needless to say, the depositors were not willing to take chances.
FDIC spokesman David Barr told reporters outside IndyMac's headquarters, "We have to completely unwind the affairs" of the bank. "We may sell a portion to another bank, sell real estate. There may be lawsuits. There are a lot of different aspects to this," indicating it could take "years" to sort out the mess. Recalling echoes of the Great Depression, IndyMac customer James Sherman who had more than $100,000 deposited in the bank, said, "This is my life savings here," adding that he hoped to get 50 cents on the dollar for his savings that are above the federally insured level. "What do you resort to now, putting money back in the mattress?" he asked.
July 15 (EIRNS)—The national jobless rate for U.S. youth is the highest in six decades, according to a report by Northeastern University's Center for Labor Market Studies. 51% of the nation's teens were employed in 2000; a mere 37% of teens are employed (about one in three) when the study was made in April, and probably fewer today. According to them, the teen employment rate has been deteriorating for over a year, since the Fall of 2006, and today, an additional 2 million teens are unemployed. Youth today are fighting with immigrants and lay-off victims for the same entry-level jobs. Quoting the report, "Low income blacks, Hispanic teens face the equivalent of a Great Depression." The metropolitan area with the highest unemployment rate is Washington D.C., with 86% unemployed youth, but Chicago, Detroit, and New York were all above 80%.
What the report noted, that coverage in today's Washington Post overlooked, is that the entire job market had shrunk by 30% since the beginning of the year.
Trying to keep its de facto bankruptcy from becoming de jure in the worsening economic collapse, General Motors Corp. on July 15 announced large new capacity and workforce cuts, and other self-cannibalization moves it calls "cost-saving." They will mean another reduction of perhaps 20,000 employees in the near future.
The company said that it now expects only a 14 million total of all car and light truck sales in the United States this year (a 13% drop from 2007, and nearly 20% down from 2005), and will accelerate the already announced closing of four pickup truck assembly plants, laying off their 10,000 workers by the Fall. GM's blue-collar production workforce will fall to about 60,000, half of what it was just two years ago. It will offer buyouts to 33,000 white-collar workers in the United States, and by that means or layoffs, plans to get rid of 10,000 of them. And it announced that the United Auto Workers has been forced to agree to "defer" the $1.7 billion GM payment which is due to the company retirees' health-care trust, which in last year's contract was dumped on the union to administer.
GM said it will also eliminate its stock dividends, and try to raise $2-3 billion in cash by selling brand names, overseas subsidiaries, and its remaining stake in GMAC, its former financial arm, which has been losing large amounts on mortgages and mortgage securities.
All of this is supposed to "generate" $15 billion in cash which would get the automaker through 2009, at its present rate of losses.
Lyndon LaRouche declared in February 2005 that GM was on the verge of bankruptcy, and then proposed Emergency Recovery Act legislation which could have saved the U.S. auto/machine-tool sector, had Congress acted on it.

Anne Packard
For over 50 years, Anne Packard (b. 1933) has continued to paint daily in her home studio in Provincetown, Massachusetts. She is the recipient of several awards and has been featured in film, television, books and press.
As a child, her family traveled from Hyde Park, New York to Provincetown, Massachusetts to enjoy the summer months.
Both her grandmother, Zella, and grandfather, Max Bohm (Gold Medalist of the Paris Salon in 1898 for his painting, "En Mer") were artists. Max is credited for his leadership in the establishment of Provincetown as a successful artist's colony. This artistic lineage is, in part, how Provincetown became so deeply rooted within her.
Though she longed to become an artist, her parents dissuaded her from pursuing what was considered a "bohemian" lifestyle. They influenced her decision to attend Bard College, marry and raise 5 children in Princeton, New Jersey.
The family spent summers at Sandy Neck in Barnstable, Massachusetts. The months spent on Cape Cod renewed her passion for art. The beauty and the natural light moved her, invoking a sense of nostalgia and reverence of nature's ever-changing atmospheres.
She used driftwood and weathered shingles as her canvasses and turned the kitchen table into her studio. Her paintings hung on the fence along her family home. This dedication would eventually lead to owning her own gallery and establish her as one of Cape Cod's most sought-after artists.
Packard moved to Provincetown year-round in 1977 with her youngest son. As she'd done years earlier in Sandy Neck, she hung her paintings along her fence for passersby's to purchase. This time, however, her passions were untethered and she was free to be a full-time artist and would forever be her livelihood. She studied with and was mentored by the late Philip Malicoat. Afterwards, Packard honed her mastery blending of colors to create depth to various atmospheres, horizons, and nature's temperaments.
In 1986, Packard bought the Christian Science Church on Commercial Street and renovated it into The Packard Gallery, a place that has become a destination for people to view her paintings. Her daughters, Cynthia and Leslie, also show their art in the gallery.
Packard's paintings span from her time living on the Outer Cape and her travels to Greece, Ireland, Italy, and Mexico.

Enter Ian "Griff" McManus, rumored lead problem solver in Millie's organization. After one hot night with a sexy stranger, he's given a new target his boss needs quieted: Detective Faye Kane.
Dirty cops, loyalty, betrayal, even love. Detective Kane needs to sift through the ashes of her beloved city after it all comes down to find the one thing that matters, if she's still standing.
"Debut authors Downey Greene deliver heart-stopping and edgy romantic suspense. Raw, gripping, and fiercely sexy, you won't be able to put PARTNERS IN CRIME down."~Laura Moore, author of Once Tempted.

Faye sagged, dropping her ass back on her heels. Her head fell forward as he loosened his grip on her hair only slightly. Errant strands hung askew, obscuring her view. She could still taste him on her tongue and was trying to steady her breathing when he yanked her to her feet. He pushed her up against the wall again, his body flush against hers. Brushing her blonde locks from her face, he leaned in to whisper in her ear. "Damn Sugar, I like the way you apologize." He chuckled. "You have no idea what you do to me."
FACEBOOK / GOODREADS
WE…yes you read right. We are two separate individuals who met in a writing group on FB. In this group we dabbled in writing and hit it off, each liking the other's strengths and complimenting the other's weaknesses. When the opportunity presented to Downey to submit to a publisher she approached Greene to join her in the journey. Both with hectic lives they took turns writing, swapping ideas and chapters, thus creating their first book, Partners in Crime. Here is a little something about the Dynamic Duo. Downey: Otherwise known as Maureen lives in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania. She is your typical suburban soccer mom; well ok there is nothing typical about her AND her kids play EVERYTHING but soccer. Downey as she is known in this duo has 5 kids ranging from 12 ½ to 19. And to answer the question swirling in your minds…YES, she is crazy. She has been married for over 21 years to her best friend and love of her life. She LOVES to read, her appetite is voracious for all things books. Her job at a local bookstore was by far one of the best experiences and fed her addiction to the written word. Going to book signings and having them at the store were her rock star moments; she is a total fan girl for authors. When that job disappeared she felt bereft, with much floundering she stumbled upon the underbelly of FB and fell in love with writing. Creating stories and weaving tall tales helped ease the indecision that plagued her. The feedback and support for her writing blew her away and prompted her to open Word and create. Loving how Greene weaved a story Downey decided they should become the Dynamic Duo. With the support of her family she has embarked on a totally unexpected new path. When she is not carting kids all over she is managing her kingdom…..in between all that she reads, blogs(BCWAB) and submerges herself in her make believe world and writes. Some days she feels invincible, other days…well they should hide. Never in a million years did she ever think THIS was a possibility, as they say when one door closes another opens. In her case, truer words were never spoken. Greene: Otherwise known as Alison to family and friends, Honey Bunny to her husband since the dawn of time – or so it seems, mom to her 2 children, and momma to her one and only grandson, lives in a small area of Western New York known primarily as the birthplace of Gabby Hayes. Alison has always loved reading and writing was always a hobby while she harbored a secret dream to one day be published. How to do that when she's as twitchy as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs? Find herself a writing partner. Enter Maureen Downey.
