Memoirs of a Polar Bear
3.4 (1,408 ratings by Goodreads)
By (author) Yoko Tawada , Translated by Susan Bernofsky
Someone tickled me behind my ears, under my arms. I curled up, became a full moon, and rolled on the floor. I may also have emitted a few hoarse shrieks. Then I lifted my rump to the sky and tucked my head beneath my belly: Now I was a sickle moon, still too young to imagine any danger. Innocent, I opened my anus to the cosmos and felt it in my bowels.
A bear, born and raised in captivity, is devastated by the loss of his keeper; another finds herself performing in the circus; a third sits down one day and pens a memoir which becomes an international sensation, and causes her to flee her home.
Through the stories of these three bears, Tawada reflects on our own humanity, the ways in which we belong to one another and the ways in which we are formed. Delicate and surreal, Memoirs of a Polar Bear takes the reader into foreign bodies and foreign climes, and immerses us in what the New Yorker has called 'Yoko Tawada's magnificent strangeness'.

Il sistema a elica controrotante, noto anche come eliche coassiali controrotanti, utilizza la potenza di un motore, del tipo a pistoni o turboelica, per mettere in rotazione due eliche disposte lungo lo stesso asse, ma fatte girare con versi di rotazione opposti. Le eliche controrotanti sono di impiego comune in alcuni sistemi di trasmissione marini, in particolare nelle imbarcazioni da diporto medie e grandi. Le due eliche sono installate una dietro l'altra, e la potenza viene trasferita ad esse dal motore mediante un sistema di ingranaggi a planetario e satelliti o a ruote dentate. Il sistema a eliche controrotanti non va confuso con soluzioni propulsive a eliche che ruotano con verso di rotazione opposto e installate su motori diversi.

Eliche controrotanti in aeronautica
Nel caso di volo a bassa velocità, la rotazione delle pale di un'elica fa sì che una quantità significativa della massa d'aria che fluisce attraverso il disco dell'elica venga trasformata in un flusso d'aria tangenziale o rotazionale. L'energia di tale flusso aerodinamico tangenziale alla direzione del moto è totalmente sprecata nello schema a singola elica e determina una riduzione del rendimento dell'elica.

Per utilizzare parte di questa energia, una seconda elica posta dietro la prima può estrarre energia anche dal flusso d'aria perturbato che la investe. Se ben progettato, un sistema a eliche controrotanti non ha flussi d'aria di tipo rotazionali in uscita e crea una spinta uniforme attraverso il disco dell'elica, causando minori perdite e producendo un aumento delle prestazioni.

Inoltre, il flusso d'aria tangenziale generato da un'elica, se presente, causa problemi di manovrabilità a basse velocità perché, se investe gli stabilizzatori verticali, cioè deriva e timone, genera una forza che tende a far imbardare l'aeromobile verso destra o sinistra a seconda del verso di rotazione delle pale.

Il disegno a eliche controrotanti serve anche a contrastare il momento imbardante asimmetrico (P-factor) che si genera negli aeromobili ad elica quando assumono un assetto non perfettamente orizzontale come accade in talune condizioni di volo ad alto angolo di attacco o in alcune configurazioni di carrello durante la corsa a terra. Alcuni sistemi controrotanti vengono progettati per essere usati solo al decollo e ottenere la massima spinta ed efficienza in quelle condizioni. Terminata la manovra, una delle eliche viene disconnessa durante il volo di crociera per aumentarne l'autonomia.

Caratteristiche
È stato verificato che i sistemi ad eliche controrotanti sono tra il 6% e il 16% più efficienti dei sistemi con una sola elica convenzionale. Di contro la soluzione risulta molto rumorosa con aumenti del rumore in asse, avanti e dietro, fino a 30 dB e lungo direzioni tangenziali di 10 dB. La maggior parte del rumore supplementare può essere misurata nel campo delle alte frequenze. Questo sostanziale problema di aumento del rumore limiterà la diffusione di questa disposizione delle eliche nelle applicazioni aeronautiche commerciali finché non verrà risolto. Una delle possibilità è quella di racchiudere le eliche in una cappottatura che le intubi. È anche valido sul fronte dell'abbattimento del rumore l'accorgimento di realizzare le due eliche con diverso numero di pale tra anteriore e posteriore, come per esempio: quattro pale per l'elica anteriore e cinque per quella posta dietro la prima.

L'efficienza delle eliche controrotanti ha come contraltare una maggiore complessità meccanica del sistema. Per questa ragione la soluzione a eliche controrotanti per aerei o a rotori controrotanti per elicotteri è impiegata negli aeromobili militari e in applicazioni navali come i siluri dove la necessità di maggior manutenzione e i relativi aumenti dei costi non sono in alcuni casi il requisito prioritario.

All medicines have risks and benefits. Your doctor has weighed the risks of you being given TRAMADOL AN SR against the benefits it is expected to have for you.
TRAMADOL AN SR is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It belongs to the group of medicines called analgesics (pain relievers). TRAMADOL AN SR tablets are designed to release the active ingredient for pain relief gradually over several hours.
TRAMADOL AN SR is not recommended for children under 12 years.
Patients over 75 years may need a reduced daily dose of TRAMADOL AN SR compared to younger adults.
TRAMADOL AN SR is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of using TRAMADOL AN SR during pregnancy.
TRAMADOL AN SR is not recommended for use during breast-feeding. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits using TRAMADOL AN SR when breast-feeding.
TRAMADOL AN SR may make you drowsy or dizzy. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice about whether it is safe for you to drive or operate machinery while taking TRAMADOL AN SR.
These medicines may be affected by TRAMADOL AN SR, or may affect how well it works. You may need different amounts of your medicine, or you may need to take different medicines. Other interactions not listed above may also occur.
TRAMADOL AN SR tablets should be swallowed whole with water. They may be taken before, with, or after food.
one TRAMADOL AN SR 150 mg or 200 mg tablet twice a day (morning and evening).
This varied from individual to individual. It depends, for example, on how severe your pain is, how you respond to TRAMADOL AN SR, and the cause of your pain. Ask your doctor for advice on how long you need to take TRAMADOL AN SR tablets.
if you feel that you do not need as much TRAMADOL AN SR as your doctor has prescribed for you, talk to your doctor.
tell your doctor if your pain is not helped or gets worse. Do not take increased amounts or extra doses of TRAMADOL AN SR unless your doctor advises you to.
All medicines can cause unwanted effects, and some side effects have been reported with TRAMADOL AN SR. Side effects reported with TRAMADOL AN SR are usually minor and temporary, but some may be serious.
Serotonin Syndrome: signs of this vary and are not specific. They may include fever, sweating, confusion, agitation, diarrhoea, muscle twitching, difficulty with walking and balance. Serotonin Syndrome may result from interaction of tramadol with other medicines which increase serotonin effects, for example, the SSRI antidepressants.
When used as prescribed by your doctor, addiction to TRAMADOL AN SR is very unlikely.
If you are taking TRAMADOL AN SR for a prolonged period of time, your body may become used to the medicine and mild withdrawal symptoms may occur if you suddenly stop taking the medicine.
It is important therefore to take TRAMADOL AN SR only as directed by your doctor.
Overdosage with TRAMADOL AN SR will result in a decrease in breathing and fits or convulsions.
Keep TRAMADOL AN SR in a safe place, where children cannot reach it.
Do not use TRAMADOL AN SR after the use-by-date printed on the carton.

Hillier and Campbell tied 6th after third round
Date: 23rd June 2013
By: Australian Ladies Professional Golf
Nikki Campbell
WA's Whitney Hillier and ACT's Nikki Campbell are right in the mix following the third round of the Allianz Ladies Slovak Open presented by Respect.
Whitney Hillier had 5 birdies and 2 bogeys on route to a third round score of 3 under par (69). She is currently tied 6th with 2 under par total.
Nikki Campbell, who was the co-leader after the first round had an impressive comeback with an eagle on the par 5 4th hole, 3 birdies and 2 bogeys for a third round score of 3 under par (69). Campbell is also on tied 6th.
Gwladys Nocera of France moved into the outright lead following a dramatic third day.
The 10-time Ladies European Tour winner finished at 7 under par having carded a 71 on the Gray Bear course at Golf Resort Talé.
Having started the day tied with the defending champion, Line Vedel, Nocera grabbed the outright lead on the first hole after Vedel retired with a back injury.
The 24-year-old Dane hit her first two shots before crippling pain got the best of her and she drove home devastated.The 38-year-old Nocera then ended up playing the last group in a two-ball with Swedish rookie Camilla Lennarth.
The other Australian in the field, Rebecca Artis maintained consistent form with a 2 over par (74) third round score to be tied 7th, even par total.
Due to the threat of thunderstorms on Sunday afternoon, as per the third round, the fourth round will be played from a two-tee start commencing at 7am local time.

Klostermann contract extended to June 2024
Germany's international Lukas Klostermann agreed to an extension of his contract at RB Leipzig until June 2024, keeping him in the club.
Lukas Klostermann and RB Leipzig have signed a contract extension, the club has reported. The contract for the full-back had been due to run out in 2021, but it has now been extended until the summer of 2024.
In 2014 the flexible defender joined Leipzig, after being elevated to the two. Bundesliga and made 159 appearances for the side, scoring 11 goals and assisting 10 in all competitions. Klostermann played under Julian Nagelsmann 33 times in 2019-20, helping them to finish third in the Bundesliga – five points ahead of Bayern Munich's leaders – and the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
rblive.de
"I'm pleased to have renewed my deal at RB Leipzig and now there's certainty about my future," Klostermann said in a statement. "I feel very confident in the team and the community, have always had confidence here, and have become a senior international player here."
Markus Krosche, director of sports, added: "Lukas is one of our absolute best performers, and despite being only 23 years old. He is also a very accomplished player who has made tremendous progress with us so far."
Klostermann's national team debut was with Serbia in March 2019 in a 1-1 draw.
Markus is very pleased that they have now extended the Lukas contract until 2024. Lukas is flexible in defense and gives plenty of options. Lukas is very valuable to the team and the team is very confident that he will increase his value and importance particularly to the team."

Christian Education isn't just for kids! We recognize that faith formation is a life-long endeavor, and here our adults have many opportunities to learn and grow in their faith.
Protestantism has a long history of "the learned clergy." Following in the footsteps of our spiritual ancestors, we place high value on good preaching that is grounded in both study and prayer. Our faith is such that we would never expect someone to "leave their intellect at the door" when they arrive here.
At the same time, we recognize that intellectual study and "teaching sermons" by themselves are not sufficient for a mature faith. Study must be balanced with prayer, mind with spirit and body, and faith with questions.
We hope that the act of communal worship is itself an integral part of adult faith formation. We also supplement that weekly spiritual encounter with occasional Adult Faith Formation series.
Advent 2016: we explored some of our favorite Christmas carols and considered them in light of various aspects of the Christmas story: The Place (Bethlehem); The Men (Shepherds, Wise Men, Angels, Joseph); The Mother (Mary); The Child (Jesus the Christ).
Advent 2014: the congregation engaged in intimate evening worship service exploring the themes of the season: hope, peace, joy, and love.
Advent 2013 and Lent 2014: Rev. Heather led us in a Bible study which used Handel's Messiah to explore the scriptures and traditions of Advent and Lent, culminating with Handel's majestic Hallelujah Chorus just in time for Easter.
As St. Augustine famously said, "O God, our souls are restless until they rest in Thee." Together we seek to deepen our faith, that our souls might rest in God, together.

Here it is, finally done, the new patio!
You may recall the old one, which was too small to be of use but, more importantly, installed so that with each flash rain that overflowed the gutter the rain was funneled into the basement. As a result, when the thing was demolished, we found a rotten sill. It turned out well, however. The rot didn't extend to the rafters, didn't even affect the entire sill, and there was no sign of termites. In fact, we got to meet a local, well-thought-of contractor who operates on his own: just the right man for several other jobs.
One of those being replacing the front door, the siding, and the big picture window, possibly with french doors.
But over the winter now (hard to think of winter since it's 70 F outside) the main job is to design the front garden. I have a good idea of the desired effect (cf. this blog post). We also let the guys divert the roof runoff into an underground pipe, which exits at the spot where we'd like a wetland/pond, so we're set up for that as well. And I'd like to better incorporate the apiary (all the way in the back left) and the veg garden (right of that). Then there is the trellis which will be built into the patio in spring.
I'm looking forward to having this extra "positive" space a a place of beauty, peace and gathering.

Dynamic strength and failure modes of sandstone under biaxial compression
K. Liu, J. Zhao, G. Wu, A. Maksimenko, A. Haque, Q. B. Zhang
Geomaterials are increasingly being subjected to the quasi-static confinements and dynamic loadings, and thus it is critical to characterise dynamic behaviour under the coupled static-dynamic loading conditions. In this study, a series of dynamic biaxial compression tests was performed on cubic specimens of sandstone by using a triaxial Hopkinson bar system, high-speed three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) and synchrotron-based micro-computed-tomography (μCT). This testing apparatus allows for determining dynamic stress-strain behaviour of the specimen under biaxial static pre-stress (σ1, σ2) conditions and different impact velocities (i.e. 15, 20 and 26 m/s), corresponding to average axial strain rates of 80, 200 and 250 s−1. Both σ1 and σ2 applied in the tests varied from 0 to 40 MPa with an interval of 10 MPa. Dynamic strength and fracture behaviours of biaxially confined rocks were systematically characterised from macroscopic to microscopic, surface to interior and 2D to 3D by using the 3D-DIC and synchrotron-based μCT techniques. Experimental results show that, under the same biaxial pre-stresses, dynamic biaxial compressive strength of sandstone increases with strain rate, i.e. rate dependence. At a given impact velocity, dynamic biaxial compressive strength decreases with increasing pre-stress values (σ1) along the impact direction, while it enhances with the increase of intermediate principal stress (σ2) in the lateral direction, which is so-called confinement dependence. Besides, two types of dynamic stress-strain curves of rocks are observed under biaxial compression, which is associated with post-peak fracturing characteristics. High-speed 3D-DIC shows that rock fragments are ejected out of the free surface (σ3 = 0) with certain velocities including the translation and rotation, which resembles the rock ejection observed during drilling and blasting and even strong rockbursts. μCT reveals that the double "V" shapes of shear fractured zones are symmetrically generated under biaxial compression. The crack surface area, volume and dynamic fracture energy are also estimated under different confinements to characterise the damage of impacted rock.

In this study, a series of dynamic biaxial compression tests was performed on cubic specimens of sandstone by using a triaxial Hopkinson bar system, high-speed three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) and synchrotron-based micro-computed-tomography (μCT). This testing apparatus allows for determining dynamic stress-strain behaviour of the specimen under biaxial static pre-stress (σ1, σ2) conditions and different impact velocities (i.e. 15, 20 and 26 m/s), corresponding to average axial strain rates of 80, 200 and 250 s−1. Both σ1 and σ2 applied in the tests varied from 0 to 40 MPa with an interval of 10 MPa. Dynamic strength and fracture behaviours of biaxially confined rocks were systematically characterised from macroscopic to microscopic, surface to interior and 2D to 3D by using the 3D-DIC and synchrotron-based μCT techniques. Experimental results show that, under the same biaxial pre-stresses, dynamic biaxial compressive strength of sandstone increases with strain rate, i.e. rate dependence. At a given impact velocity, dynamic biaxial compressive strength decreases with increasing pre-stress values (σ1) along the impact direction, while it enhances with the increase of intermediate principal stress (σ2) in the lateral direction, which is so-called confinement dependence. Besides, two types of dynamic stress-strain curves of rocks are observed under biaxial compression, which is associated with post-peak fracturing characteristics. High-speed 3D-DIC shows that rock fragments are ejected out of the free surface (σ3 = 0) with certain velocities including the translation and rotation, which resembles the rock ejection observed during drilling and blasting and even strong rockbursts. μCT reveals that the double "V" shapes of shear fractured zones are symmetrically generated under biaxial compression. The crack surface area, volume and dynamic fracture energy are also estimated under different confinements to characterise the damage of impacted rock.",

From the team at Domaine de Chevalier, comes Clos des Lunes, an ancient vineyard in Sauternes, the finest in Bordeaux. 33 hectares of vine are planted to old Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc vines. All grapes are hand picked just as they are at Chevalier. The wine is a dry white Bordeaux that is made by a dedicated team. The key to the wine are the deep gravel which gives the wine power and clay-limestone subsoil which gives it freshness. Round and composed wine from old Sémillon and Sauvignon vines grown near Yquem.

Balochistan is not Bangladesh, but its worth trying !!!
Suddenly Balochistan is in news. Credit goes to Shri Narendra Modi, the Indian PM. Most of the people in India never knew about Balochistan. Coming directly to the subject. Many of the people are getting an impression that India can easily separate Balochistan from Pakistan, as they did with Bangladesh (East Pakistan) in 1971. This perception is wrong because of the below key differences between Bangladesh & Balochistan.
India doesn't share any physical boundary with Balochistan as they did with Bangladesh.
Ability for logistical support will be bare minimum.
Pakistan mainland has a direct boundary with Balochistan which was not the case with Bangladesh.
In case of Bangladesh, Sheik Mujib-ur-Rehman was a single united political force which could rally the masses of Bangladesh after him.
No clear vision on what could be a future Balochistan as a Nation. How the natural resources will be used? Will it be an Islamic republic?
Iran Factor: Iran will not support idea of Baloch nationalism as it may impact the Baloch population in Iran. They may want to join the new Balochistan Nation. In case of Bangladesh, there was no such case with any other neighbor.
Based on above points, its very clear that India can't play a role in case of Balochistan as it did in case of Bangladesh. It has to use only covert means.
Give a voice to Balochistan Cause & build an opinion among various countries.
India can provide a voice to Balochistan cause in various international forums.
Help define the dream of Balochistan as a single nation with a way forward.
Baloch nationalism may directly impact the territorial integrity of Afghanistan as well as Iran. Both being friends of India, India should build an understanding that the new Balochistan state will only in Pakistan part and they won't start a new struggle to unite the whole Baloch population once they are independent.
Convince China that Free Balochistan will favor it with availability of resources and no impact will take place for existing projects.
Connection of Gwadar & Chabahar port, once Balochistan is free state.
For any insurgency to sustain for long they need arms training as well as money to feed themselves.
Waziristan operations : Pakistan is busy conducting Zarb-e-azb operations in this part.
Ethnic tensions in different parts of pakistan will keep them busy internally. Like MQM's dictat in Karachi.
Get Kashmir issue kind of resolved with converting of LOC to actual border.
China will want Gilgit-Baltistan to be settled as CPEC passes through it.
Make Pakistan give more rights to Baloch people and some more autonomy. India can convince Balochs with autonomy and make compromise on separation.
In-road access to Pakistan & India among themselves.
Is Modi Neutralising China's "String Of Pearls" ?
Since the new BJP-led government has come, we have been witnessing a lot of foreign trips by our new Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi. Is there something more than economics behind these visits? Well, if we look at these visits and the geopolitical change taking place around the globe, it looks there is possibility of a major military adventure which can't be denied.
The "String of Pearls" set by China in the Indian Oceans to contain Indian within the ghetto's of South Asia. The "String of Pearls" include Gwadar (Pakistan), Hambantota (Sri Lanka), Chittagong (Bangladesh), Sittwe (Myanmar), which are in close proximity to India. Every one understands that its to secure China's energy supply lines as its dependent on petroleum imports heavily similar to India. But same ports can be used against Indian interests in case of any eventualities.
Burma :- Myanmar government now has much better relation with India as compared to china. There has been some unease between the relationship of Burma & China post Kokang incident. Relationship with India on the other hand has improved following the military operations near the Nagaland-Burma border. Indian security personnels like Ajit Doval and others are visiting Burma to improve relations. It has been a known fact that Indian Military & Burmese military relationships are good & cordial and they don't have any conflict. Many times when burmese crossed the border following burmese rebels Indian Military looked as if nothing happened and same thing is being done by Burmese military now. I believe there are some talks of Indian government helping Myanmar fight the insurgents of Kachin. Myanmar on its side is trying not to be more than dependent on china and is trying to build closer relationship with India & ASEAN countries. India is financing construction of Sittwe port in Myanmar to access its land locked north east.
Bangladesh (Chittagong):- Narendra Modi visited Bangladesh to move the Indo-Bangla relationships to the next level. The main highlight of the visit was actual closure of Land Boundary Agreement with exchange of enclaves, which has been due for long. Bangladesh will be able to use Indian territory to access markets in Nepal & Bhutan, 2 Billion $ of credit to Bangladesh, two new bus services to connect kolkata & north eastern states, and many others. Teesta didn't took much attention as all attention was grabbed by LBA agreement. The one with the highest strategic implication was allowing Indian Cargos to use Chittagong (One of the pearls). It means Indians cargo will enter the port and at the same time have some information on the chinese movements their. Now Bangladesh & India share much more greater trust and hence chances of Bangladesh allowing China to use its naval or land resources for anti-India activity is low.
Sri Lanka:- Sri Lanka & India always had some hiccups in their relationship in the past because of LTTE. Former Sri Lankan president Rajapaksa was much closer to chinese than to Indians. But with the change of power, new president Sirisena is moving the balance of power back to India. China Communication Construction Company (CCCC) which was responsible in development of Sri Lanka's colombo port city is involved in corruption charges. Hambantota has not proved to be economically viable yet with loan and interest amount to be paid to China, even after being declared a free port. Well one can concede that even the new Government in Sri Lanka can't offend the chinese as they are in need of investments and can't repay the loans already taken. However, new Sri Lankan government has given some hints that it may not allow any submarines to doc in its port ,in future, to calm down Indians. India so far has focused its investments in the north of Sri Lanka (Erstwhile - Tamil Eelam). But with the Chinese economy showing signs of going down and Indian economy picking up the present situation can be turned around in near future.
Pakistan's Gwadar & Iran's Chabar: Well this is open knowledge of everyone that India can't do anything about Pakistan to stop anti-India activities. So the Indian response has been to develop Chabar port in Iran. However interesting both the ports are located in the provinces having some Baloch resentments. With western sanctions expected to end very soon, India needs to get Chabar port developed fast and make it operational for bigger ships, while working in sync with Iran government. Development of this port will provide India with the better access to landlocked Afghanistan and Central Asia countries. So a great game is being played here between India & China.
Well the above were some of the ports as part of China's "String of Pearls" around India. And the counter balances which India is taking to nullify the encirclement. Hopefully, under Modi's leadership India will emerge as a super power and not be enclosed in ghettos of South Asia.

Meiko Kaji , född 24 mars 1947 i Chiyoda kommun i Tokyo, Japan, är en japansk enka-sångerska och skådespelare. Hennes ursprungliga namn är Ōta Masoko (太田 雅子); Kaji Meiko (i väst oftare Meiko Kaji) är hennes artistnamn.

Som skådespelare och sångerska har Kaji flera gånger sjungit i filmmusiken till filmer hon själv spelat med i. Så var till exempel fallet i Lady Snowblood (1973), en senare kultförklarad film som stått förebild till Quentin Tarantinos Kill Bill-filmer. Dessutom finns två av hennes låtar med i Kill Bill: The flower of carnage i Kill Bill: Volume 1 och Urami bushi i Kill Bill: Volume 2.

Kaji fick sitt genombrott som skådespelare med en serie fängelsefilmer, Joshū 701-go (女囚701号) och dess uppföljare, i början av 1970-talet. Hon har, förutom sina filmroller, också medverkat i ett stort antal tv-serier.

Please note he is also on Port tack. Regardless, he had the choice to stay clear like all of the other large boats and chose not to. There are several upset parents about this and I thought if I shared it here you may have advise how to spread the word for better safety on the water. This behavior is not acceptable I'd like to hear what y'all think.

863 F. 2d 702 - Dalton v. First Interstate Bank of Denver
863 F2d 702 Dalton v. First Interstate Bank of Denver
12 Fed.R.Serv.3d 1391
Yvonne DALTON, Plaintiff-Appellee,
FIRST INTERSTATE BANK OF DENVER, a National Banking
Association, Defendant-Appellant.
Tenth Circuit.
Dec. 23, 1988.
Roger T. Castle, P.C., Denver, Colo., and Russell Reiner, Redding, Cal., for plaintiff-appellee.
Richard L. Thorgren and Michael W. Lillie, of Hughes and Dorsey, Denver, Colo., for defendant-appellant.
Before BALDOCK, BRORBY, Circuit Judges, and BURCIAGA,* District Judge.
PER CURIAM.
After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); 10th Cir.R. 34.1.8. The cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.
The parties have been advised that the court was considering summary dismissal of this appeal for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
Judgment was entered February 10, 1987, awarding plaintiff $50,000, "plus the interest that the sum would have accumulated had it not been withdrawn according to the terms of the certificate of deposit at defendant bank to this date." Plaintiff then timely moved to amend the judgment with respect to the interest to read "plus the interest that sum would have accumulated had it been left in the most favorable certificate of deposit at defendant bank from January 11, 1974, to this date." Defendant also filed a motion to alter or amend the judgment and to stay enforcement.
On February 23, 1987, the district court denied defendant's motion and directed responses to plaintiff's motion and to the bill of costs and claims for attorney's fees. Defendant filed its notice of appeal on February 25.
On March 16, this court advised the parties of its concern that the order appealed was not final under Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(4). The district court granted plaintiff's motion and entered an amended judgment reflecting the requested clarification regarding interest on March 24. No second notice of appeal was filed.
This court has consistently held that regardless of how styled, a motion questioning the correctness of a judgment and timely made within ten days thereof will be treated under Rule 59(e). Venable v. Haislip, 721 F.2d 297, 299 (10th Cir.1983); Vreeken v. Davis, 718 F.2d 343, 345 (10th Cir.1983) (motion to file second amended complaint treated as Rule 59(e) motion); see also Miller v. Leavenworth-Jefferson Elec. Co-op, Inc., 653 F.2d 1378, 1380 (10th Cir.1981) (pleading styled "Motion to Dismiss" challenging court's jurisdiction treated as Rule 59(e) motion). Further, we agree with the Seventh Circuit's reasoning that post-judgment motions filed within ten days of the final judgment should, where possible, be construed as Rule 59(e) motions to "avoid otherwise endless hassles over proper characterization." Western Inds., Inc. v. Newcor Canada, Ltd., 709 F.2d 16, 17 (7th Cir.1983). This is also in keeping with our expressed preference for bright-line jurisdictional rules. Budinich v. Becton Dickinson and Co., 807 F.2d 155 (10th Cir.1986),aff'd --- U.S. ----, 108 S.Ct. 1717, 1722, 100 L.Ed.2d 178 (1988).1
The requested amendment resulted in both an alteration of the interest and the fixation of the interest period. Although the change sought was not major, it was sufficient to call into question the substantive correctness of the judgment. St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co. v. Continental Casualty Co., 684 F.2d 691, 694 (10th Cir.1982). See also Harcon Barge Co. v. D & G Boat Rentals, Inc., 784 F.2d 665, 669 (5th Cir.) (en banc) (timely post-judgment motion within scope of Rule 59(e) treated under that rule), cert. denied, 479 U.S. 930, 107 S.Ct. 398, 93 L.Ed.2d 351 (1986); Willie v. Continental Oil Co., 784 F.2d 706, 707 (5th Cir.1986) (en banc) (same); Charles v. Daley, 799 F.2d 343, 347 (7th Cir.1986) (adopting Harcon Rule); Elias v. Ford Motor Co., 734 F.2d 463, 466 (1st Cir.1984) (motion to change rate of interest must be made under Rule 59(e)); Stern v. Shouldice, 706 F.2d 742, 747 (6th Cir.) (discretionary prejudgment interest motions fall under Rule 59(e)), cert. denied, 464 U.S. 993, 104 S.Ct. 487, 78 L.Ed.2d 683 (1983); Scola v. Boat Frances, R., Inc., 618 F.2d 147, 153 (1st Cir.1980) (erroneous inclusion by clerk in judgment of discretionary prejudgment interest falls under Rule 59(e)).
Defendant argues that the motion to amend the judgment should be construed as a Rule 60(a) motion to correct a clerical error. We disagree. Rule 60(a) is available to correct what is erroneous because the thing spoken, written, or recorded is not what the person intended to speak, write, or record, not what is erroneous because the person later discovers the thing said, written, or recorded was wrong. Allied Materials Corp. v. Superior Prods. Co., 620 F.2d 224, 226 (10th Cir.1980); Security Mut. Casualty Co. v. Century Casualty Co., 621 F.2d 1062, 1065 (10th Cir.1980) (Rule 60(a) may not be used to change something which has been deliberately done). See also United States v. Griffin 782 F.2d 1393, 1396-1397 (7th Cir.1986) (if flaw lies in translation of original meaning to judgment, Rule 60(a) allows correction; if judgment captures meaning but contains errors, another source is needed); Morgan Guaranty Trust Co. v. Third Nat'l Bank, 545 F.2d 758, 760 (1st Cir.1976) (mistake based on erroneous legal interpretation is beyond scope of Rule 60(a)); Warner v. Bay St. Louis, 526 F.2d 1211, 1212 (5th Cir.1976) (where error is one of law but judgment states what judge intended, Rule 60(a) not available to correct judgment).
In contrast, a Rule 59(e) motion need only in writing, specify grounds, and request relief, St. Marys Hospital Medical Center v. Heckler, 753 F.2d 1362, 1365 (7th Cir.), cert. denied, 472 U.S. 1028, 105 S.Ct. 3502, 87 L.Ed.2d 633 (1985), and can be made on any ground. In re Frigitemp Corp., 781 F.2d 324, 327 (2d Cir.1986). See also Varley v. Tampax, Inc., 855 F.2d 696, 699 (10th Cir.1988) (timely Rule 59(e) motion permits amendment of judgment for any reason).
We conclude the motion was properly made under Rule 59(e). A timely Rule 59(e) motion requires that a new notice of appeal be filed after the motion is disposed of. Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(4). The notice of appeal filed in this case was not only premature, but a nullity. Griggs v. Provident Consumer Discount Co., 459 U.S. 56, 61, 103 S.Ct. 400, 403, 74 L.Ed.2d 225 (1982).
Defendant was alerted to the potential jurisdictional defect before the amended judgment was entered. All that was required was the simple filing of a second notice of appeal, without further cost. Fed.R.App.P. 4(a)(4).
The appeal is DISMISSED.
The mandate shall issue forthwith.
Honorable Juan G. Burciaga, District Judge, United States District Court for the District of New Mexico, sitting by designation
Clearly excluded from this category are motions for attorney's fees, White v. New Hampshire, 455 U.S. 445, 102 S.Ct. 1162, 71 L.Ed.2d 325 (1982), and motions for costs under Rule 54(d). Buchanan v. Stanships, Inc., --- U.S. ----, 108 S.Ct. 1130, 99 L.Ed.2d 289 (1988)

Q: Gevent WSGIServer don't respond Background
I'm attempting to serve a flask REST API which using gevent wsgiserver. It worked in Werkzeug, but did not respond in gevent wsgiserver. Here is a simple flask app serve by gevent wsgiserver.
import gevent
from gevent.pywsgi import WSGIServer
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/', methods=['GET'])
def index_get():
    return 'OK'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # app.run(host='0.0.0.0',port=80, threaded=True, debug=False)
    WSGIServer(('0.0.0.0', 80), app).serve_forever()

Investigation
Python-3.5.2
flask-0.11.1
gevent-1.2.1
The browser keep loading the response. However the server console show it already give the response. Accidentally, I change the code
@app.route('/', methods=['GET'])
def index_get():
    return 'Worked'

And the browser receive the response successfully. I found it fail to respond only when response string is a one or two character string.
Questions
Can anyone confirmed this issue?
What is the mechanism in it?
How can I workaround so I can respond a two character string?

A: OK, I really should read the tutorial first.
According to the tutorial
The stream is closed when a size zero chunk is sent.
I should append a zero size chunk like '\n'
@app.route('/', methods=['GET'])
def index_get():
    return json.dumps({'ReturnCode':200,'message':'command sent.'}) + '\n'

It appear gevent's WSGIServer is a little different from Werkzeug. I should make some change to suit it. The recommended application is different from flask. Although, just append a '\n' also worked for me.
from gevent.wsgi import WSGIServer

def application(environ, start_response):
    status = '200 OK'
    body = '
Hello World
'

    headers = [
        ('Content-Type', 'text/html')
    ]

    start_response(status, headers)
    return [body]

WSGIServer(('', 8000), application).serve_forever()

Fantasia Nectarine is a small tree that is typically grown for its edible qualities. It produces yellow round fruit (technically 'drupes') with cherry red overtones and yellow flesh which are usually ready for picking in late summer. Note that the fruits have hard inedible pits inside which must be removed before eating or processing. The fruits have a sweet taste and a juicy texture.


The tournament in 1914 was the 38th year of the Wimbledon Championships. It ran from Monday 22nd June until Saturday 4th July. No Sunday finish in those days!
There was a slightly different format to the current one, after the semi-final there was an All-Comers' Final followed by the Challenge Round in the Gentlemen's Singles, Gentlemen's Doubles & Ladies Singles.
The Ladies Singles All-Comers' Final & the Challenge Round were both won by British players, Ethel Larcombe & Dorothea Chambers.
There were British players in all the finals except the Gentlemen's Singles.
It was the last championship before a four year break due to World War I.
If you want to check on all the draws and results then the Wimbledon website is the place to go. They have a fantastic archive which is growing all the time.

The Learning Learning Alliance applauds the reauthorization of the Carl D. Perkins Act, an important funding source for the Linked Learning field working to ensure high quality pathway implementation. The legislation signed by President Trump on Tuesday provides $1.2 billion in annual funding for public career and technical education (CTE) programs, adding updates that reflect innovative approaches being implemented across the country.
"It is great news that the federal government has renewed its commitment to support high quality CTE for students nationwide," said Anne B. Stanton, President of the Linked Learning Alliance. "Perkins provides critical resources to support most Linked Learning pathways and a modernized version will help schools give students better access to quality programs that better prepare them for success in both college and career.
Linked Learning was recognized in 2015 by the White House and the U.S Department of Education as a promising practice that empowers students to develop workforce ready technical skills while meeting university entry requirements.
The Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act, the legislation that reauthorized Perkins for the first time since 2006, updates and addresses various challenges encountered by the program over the past decade. The reauthorization strengthens alignment to WIOA — the federal framework used for many workforce development programs. The bill also clarifies definitions for work-based learning and qualified intermediaries, adds a dual enrollment provision, and focuses directions for data collection on outcomes for students enrolled in these programs.
In a shift from past Perkins requirements, states will not have to negotiate implementation goals with the U.S. Secretary of Education upon submission of their state plans. Despite this, states will still need to develop plans to establish program goals contextualized with their respective accountability frameworks.
The reauthorized funding goes into effect July 1, 2019.

Pezzettino Show Us How It's Done With "How To"
Merrit Crowe January 29, 2019 New Music
Ginger Fierstein
NewsNew Music
Margaret Stutt has been performing for many years under her own name swell as the Pezzettino moniker. But Resin (out the 8th of February) marks the first official Pezzettino release. "How To" is the lead single from this haunting collection of songs that confront the demons of depression and mental illness head on.
Resin is the result of years of documenting hope & resiliency through trauma, crisis and chaos— often written during bouts of insomnia. The studio effort was personally symbolic, celebrating coming through "the tunnel" after a difficult diagnosis and the new lifestyle that is required to successfully live a stable life. The songs were recorded in scattered sessions over a two-year period, and often written the week-of, scrapping an entire album of demos in the wake. It is a recognition of the world's harshness while holding on to hope, and learning to see with fresh eyes and a "beginner's mind" approach to life. The name Resin stems from trees' process for self-protecting and healing after injury.
The album was recorded at Tiny Telephone Oakland, engineered and mixed by Jacob Winik and mastered by Justin Perkins. Margaret wrote and performed on all of the songs (piano, accordion, vocals), with bandmates from the almighty Carly Bond (guitars, synth, clarinet, vocals), and Andrew Maguire (percussion, drums). This album was a dream team effort and she has deep respect for the talent they brought to the table.

Sigma drop feelgood summer anthem 'Dilemma'


Students who succumb to the temptation to leave school often see the proverbial light only after it is too late. My experience as an educator includes a quarter-century as an administrator of public schools in the District of Columbia that specialized in multigenerational learning. Although they were called adult education programs, the sole criterion for acceptance was a minimum age of 16, the age at which children were no longer covered by compulsory school attendance laws.
Adolescents enrolled in my school found themselves in classes with students their parents' or even grandparents' age. Students were grouped based on their performance on diagnostic placement tests; ages were irrelevant. In order to meet the students where they were, self-paced learning allowed them to move to higher levels each time they demonstrated mastery of a unit. Only rarely were there any behavior problems because everybody was there voluntarily and because the older students refused to allow any disruptions. The program placed the onus for success where it belongs, squarely upon the shoulders of the student.
Some students will make bad decisions, but we shouldn't view them as irrevocable. Students who are allowed to return to school often are more focused and committed than their peers who never left the fold. There are times when we must take several steps backward in order to get a running start.


The first of January 2013, and a gorgeous day, crisp, bright and sunny. Blue sky and sunshine. Could this be God's metaphor for 2013? I'd like to think so, as an unblemished year free from sorrow, anxiety and worry would be terrific. Unlikely, but terrific!
We decided to start the new year as we mean to go on, with a walk.
..and the ubiquitous shadow is less apparent. Perhaps another metaphor signifying better health in 2013. Let's hope so.
Wherever you are, whatever the weather and whatever your circumstances, a very happy and healthy 2013 for you.
Just back from a great couple of days staying with our daughter in Belgium, where we went to visit mainly her, of course, but also the Christmas Markets.
hot roasted chestnuts, pancakes, and all sorts of goodies including Welsh cheese! I fancied my chances on the ice rink, but was dissuaded as we had no insurance. I learned later that the E111 (which we did have) would have been quite sufficient for any broken bones. Naturally we also found time to visit a chocolate factory, and that evening Becki took me to a chocolate cafe, which produced all varieties of chocolate drinks to die for. Well, you have to if you're in Belgium, don't you?
The Christmas Market opened in Leuven (where Becki lives) the following evening. Throbbing with people, especially young people, and vibrant with energy and colour. Smaller than the Brussels market, but much larger than I expected. I loved Father Christmas's rooms – a number of log cabins, each one set out as a different room in Santa's house, kitchen, bathroom, lounge, bedroom, and of course, the workshop.
Leuven, which is a small city similar to Norwich in character, goes to town with its Christmas lights. Mostly small, white fairy lights and immensely effective, adorning the trees and streets. There are two wonderful, large deer in lights just outside the railway station, and further along in the city square outside the cathedral is a large stable, complete with the Holy Family and live sheep.
All this adds to the party atmosphere, which was enhanced by the entirely unexpected and superb firework display just as we were leaving the market.
It was very cold in Belgium, but equally cold here in the UK when we came back today via Eurostar. We loved it all, and I'm definitely booking again for next year.
I'm delighted to announce that my latest foray into the world of writing is now available from Amazon in both Kindle format and paperback -Poisoned By Yew. This is a collection of short stories written over the years, light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek and ideal for that holiday moment or for picking up on the plane or train.
Now that those wonderful Olympics are over for a couple of weeks (until the paralympics arrives in full flow), my thoughts turn to other types of competition, namely writing competitions. I've unearthed a few free-to-enter competitions for you, which leaves you with no excuses for failing to put pen to paper. Go on, give it a try. You've nothing to lose.
Healthy Living magazine is looking for bedtime stories to encourage sleep – so no monsters under the bed, then. Your story needs to be between 1500 and 3000 words in length, any genre except children's stories and erotica. Click here for details. Competition closes on 31st October, so you've [plenty of time to get thinking and writing.
If you can write a complete, interesting and exciting story in six words, then this competition is for you. Closes on 30th September, and first prize is an astonishing £100 or a stay in the Algonquin Hotel in Manhattan.
This next one is for fresh, original stories on any subject, up to 2000 words. Closes on August 25th, but you still have time. Prize is mainly publication and promotion of your work. Click here for details.
And finally, this competition is for stories of no more than 1200 words, and you have to use one of the organisers openign dialogues. You get to choose from three possibilities. This one closes on 30th August. Click here for details.
Needless to say, all your entries must be original. Why not get writing? It could be fun.
Wow! What a scoop by Dickleburgh Church. They have the Trinity College Choir – ranked the 5th best choir in the world – giving a concert on Sunday evening, July 1st, on the eve of their tour to America and Canada. Trinity College Cambridge are patrons of the church, and very generous in many ways. If there are any tickets left, I think I shall have to go. Anyone want to come with me?
Talking about singing and choirs, I've just invested in an online singing course, which you can find at The Singing Zone. It's expensive, but if lesson 1 is anything to go by, well worth the money. It's done by videos, so that it feels just like a one-to-one lesson with the teacher, Per Bristow. I'm already excited by it and looking forward to the future lessons.
Of course, singing is nothing much to do with writing, but as I've just finished an assignment for Redemptorist Publications, I felt justified in a little reward! Hence the singing lessons.
And it's only money, so onwards and upwards, hopefully in good voice!
It's been an amazing weekend so far. For me it started on Thursday afternoon, when along with a couple of friends, I enjoyed a Jubilee afternoon tea produced by the catering department students at Norwich City College. Tiny sandwiches, scones piled with jam and cream, and delicious shortbread biscuits, together with as much tea as I could drink. Excellent! While there, I took advantage of the table decorations to snaffle a cardboard union jack, which I pinned to my red blouse on the Saturday afternoon.
That occasion was a Jubilee party in Brundall Rectory garden, complete with fun and games, cream teas, and three local choirs. Our choir was on first, and most of us were dressed patriotically in red, white and blue. The weather was kind to us, and all went well.
and cheering on the families engaged in a local Jubilee treasure hunt. Tonight we shall watch the concert from Buckingham Palace – again on television!
It has certainly been a terrific weekend, one to remember, and a fitting tribute to our indefatigable Queen. None of us alive today will ever see a sixty year reign again, and we thank God for our Royal Family and all the (often hidden) work they do for our nation.
Three thoroughly British cheers for Her Majesty and long live the Queen!

My closest girlfriend called me the other day to tell me she was worried I was having a mid-life crisis. She had just heard that I'd signed up to do a skydive and called to talk me out of it – bless her. My dear friend of 26 years had decided I'd lost the plot finally – maybe she's right. I mean – why else would you offer yourself up to be thrown out of a plane?
This week Bowel Cancer UK launched a new campaign. 'Never Too Young' with the aim of improving the diagnosis, treatment and care of younger (under 50) bowel cancer patients in the UK. Our campaign film highlights just why this is so important.
To inform our campaign we conducted research into the experiences of younger patients which we summarised in our Never Too Young report.
One of the findings that stood out for me was that younger patients are experiencing delays in diagnosis for two main reasons. Firstly, GP's are delaying referring people through for diagnostic tests and in fact 42% of women, compared with ten per cent of men either saw their GP more than five times before being referred to a specialist, or were diagnosed as an emergency before being referred.
Secondly, over half (60%) of patients were not aware of the symptoms of bowel cancer prior to being diagnosed, and were not aware of bowel cancer as a disease younger people could develop. A quarter of people (25%) waited over 6 months to see their doctor as they didn't realise the significance of their symptoms or felt reluctant to discuss them. This can have terrible consequences and has for Laura.
Laura was 30 when she was diagnosed with bowel cancer. She had symptoms for nearly two years before she was diagnosed. Unfortunately, she didn't understand their significance and was re-assured when her doctor told her that it could not possibly be bowel cancer because she was too young. The terrible pain in her tummy was put down to painful periods and the bleeding she experienced on and off for two years wasn't investigated. Unfortunately when she was finally diagnosed at the age of 30, the disease had already spread to her liver and her lungs and is now in her bones too.
Despite gruelling treatment, on the 1st March, Laura married her fiancée Alan at their dream wedding in Scotland. Yet instead of going on her honeymoon, she had to go to hospital to start a new round of palliative chemotherapy instead. Every contact I have with Laura and her lovely Mum Lesley makes me ache, because I can feel their pain and grief, yet they are amazingly supporting our Never Too Young campaign because they want this to stop. After all, this should not be happening to Laura, to anyone.
Bowel cancer is treatable but early diagnosis makes that much easier.
I know that some will think that our focus on younger patients is a 'red herring' because the number of people diagnosed only represents 5% (c. 2,100) of the 41,000 diagnosed each year in the UK. I strongly disagree.
To me those c.2000 patients, represent, 10,000 patients over 5 years, 20,000 patients over 10 years – and each one has hopes, dreams and family and friends who love them and whom they love. They deserve the same chance of and have the same right to life as anyone else. I resolutely refuse to give up on them simply because they are difficult to target or detect.
However I do acknowledge that the solutions are not straight forward. GPs for example, have an incredibly difficult job to identify those patients they should be referring on for diagnostic tests. They will see many young people who have symptoms that could be bowel cancer but may only see a few cases (if that) during their career in the under 50s. They are also under pressure to refer less people through to endoscopy teams who are over-stretched and under-resourced.
We need to find a solution that empowers and enables GPs to make those difficult decisions and build the capacity of our endoscopy units to ensure they can provide high quality services to meet rising demand. That's why we are calling for the development of a risk assessment decision aid tool to be developed for GPs around bowel disease, sustained investment in endoscopy services so this is not a barrier to diagnosis and a registry of younger patients to be set up, so we can better understand the epidemiology of cancer.
Our report also highlights gaps in information and support for younger bowel cancer patients. Only 1 in 4 women and just fewer than 1 in 2 men were happy with the levels of support they received.
Isolation and loneliness is felt by many younger bowel cancer patients. Although peer support was identified as a major factor that could have improved treatment more than half of patients felt that they had no-one their age with bowel cancer to talk to.
Younger patients inevitably have different concerns from older patients – many have concerns about how treatment will affect their fertility, their body image and sexual relationships. Looking after young children is also a major concern for some.
Katie, 32, a former national junior ice skating champion has been highlighting the issues she is currently facing in her moving blog, as she tries to come to terms with the reality of having terminal bowel cancer. Several recent newspaper articles have highlighted her despair at the prospect of leaving her young children of 4 and 8 without a Mum.
Katie and her family and friends are currently fundraising for Bowel Cancer UK and remarkably despite all that she is going though she is determined to raise awareness and is supporting our Never Too Young campaign.
I so wish she didn't have the personal insight about why this is so very important.
So as I told my lovely friend, I'm OK about jumping out of a plane, despite the fact this is not in my job description and I am absolutely not doing this for 'fun'. I'm not an adrenalin junky, I'm not into heights and have no personal desire to put my life in the hands of another person whilst hurdling towards the earth and I'm particularly petrified of landing. Skydiving has NO appeal to me whatsoever BUT if our amazing patient supporters show such determination to raise awareness and funds, how can I not also face my fears and join them.
So as I have said before, if this resonates with you, if this matters to you and you want to be part of ensuring that younger cancer patients have a bright future please support or join Laura, Katie and me. Please help us raise awareness and funds so Bowel Cancer UK can continue to campaign for younger patients and further develop our information and support services for them.

GTA have partnered with Australian Sports Foundation to setup a foundation to support the project which will install lights at King Lloyd Reserve so we can provide our 300 members a chance to participate in winter. Our link is shown below. Click the link for more info. Please like and share our Facebook post and FB page (Geelong Touch) to let everyone know! All donations are tax deductible.
Geelong Touch Association is a non-profit association with nearly 300 members, providing a fun, healthy and active non-contact mixed sport to our local community of all ages. We have over 100 females, 50 juniors and 150 males participating each season with three divisions to suit all levels of ability. Our sport is one of the leading community sports in Australia due to its inclusivity, allowing families and friends of any skill level to enter teams and play together in our local competition. We have people ranging from 10 years to 67 years of age playing together and against each other through our Monday A/B grade competition or our Wednesday Family grade competition.
We have been working hard to develop an application of interest to our local council in applying for the most recent State Government funding for facility upgrades. We would love to provide our members with floodlights so they can participate in winter competitions and play all year round.
The project is going to cost between $250,000 and $300,000 and the funding from the Government is capped at $100,000. Geelong Touch will be contributing all of our savings ($25,000) since we were first operational in 1996. This means the Council will need to decide whether they want to invest up to $175,000 towards the project.
We are requesting financial support from the local community. If you were able to contribute that would greatly add to the weight of our application with Council, as they wouldn't have to spend as much to support the project.
Our data shows that on average 85% of the participants in the summer Melbourne competitions (approximately 1000 members at both Fawkner Park and Albert Park) play in the winter competitions. Therefore we would expect approximately the same amount of numbers to participate in our only Geelong competition.
We also aim to run a junior competition at the same time of our senior competition, which would include more participants, following the school programs that we will run in the future.
If we were able to provide our members with lights at the grounds it would also increase the chances of gaining more volunteers due to increasing participation levels, it would allow other user groups such as football and soccer clubs use of the venue if their grounds were unfit for use and allow more spectators and people wishing to walk their dogs around the grounds at night.
We are gratefully thankful for your consideration, and as you can read this contribution could be the difference towards achieving our next major goal that would greatly increase participation for our local community.

This state of the art monograph presents a unique introduction to thinking about cuteness and its incorporation into modern, especially computer-based, products and services. Cuteness is defined and explored in relation to user-centered design concepts and methods, in addition to considering the history of cuteness and cuteness in other cultures, especially in relation to eastern Asia.
The authors provide detailed analyses and histories of cuteness in Japan and in China, the rise of Kawaii and Moe cultural artifacts, and their relation to social, psychological, and design issues. They also attempt an initial taxonomy of cuteness. Finally, detailed interviews with leading designers of cute products and services, such as Hello Kitty, provide an understanding of the philosophy and decision-making process of designers of cuteness.
Cuteness Engineering: Designing Adorable Products and Services will be of interest and use to a wide range of professionals, researchers, academics, and students who are interested in exploring the world of cuteness in fresh new ways and gaining insights useful for their work and studies.

Preserving the mobility of elderly people is becoming increasingly important, as other factors of quality of life. Products that preserve the mobility of elderly people can therefore significantly improve their independence and lifestyle. Based on the changes in the age structure of society, demographic change also means to increasingly utilize available support by technical systems to allow people a self-dependent and self-determined life. This review research is established for determining various modes for modification in the homes where people spend large part of their lives especially focusing on the homes of disabled, who likely to spend more at home.

Carla Scotto, Illustrator & Designer
February 16, 2017 March 6, 2017 • localstoryspace
Words, photos and podcast production by Jenni Mazaraki
Sitting with his head poking over the edge of the chair, Freddie the toy poodle looks like the boss in the studio of illustrator and designer, Carla Scotto. As cute as he is sitting in Carla's chair, this is Carla's space where she creates her distinctive work, changing the world one illustration at a time.
Freddie sits in Carla's chair. Carla's denim jacket features one of her hand painted designs, 'Beetroot to yourself.'
Carla's studio in Melbourne's south east is the 'good room' in her parent's house. I visit Carla in the weeks following the US election and I can't help but comment on the room's resemblance to the oval office with its grand jacquard curtains sweeping the polished floorboards and formal dining table as her desk. Wearing a t-shirt with an image of Putin riding a bear that she found in an op shop, Carla manages to humorously express her disdain for right wing politics without even saying a word.
On one side of the room, ornate glassware sits on the carved wooden sideboard amongst family photos and ornaments. The other side of the room is home to Carla's art materials and art and design books. On the day that I visit, Carla has brought in plants to her studio, adding a bit of nature to the elegant space.
Carla's illustrations communicate a message with humour. As a firm advocate for reducing plastic use, her work blends pop culture references with political commentary and concerns about the environment. Illustrations show sea creatures in conversation with plastic bags, orcas struggling to have a conversation over the deafening noise of ship propellers and lumps of coal in breakfast bowls, ready for consumption.
Listen to Carla Scotto in the podcast interview:
Carla's illustration style is clean and crisp. First sketching out her drawings with pencil and her favourite Japanese felt tipped pen, she scans her sketches, then colours and finishes them digitally in Photoshop. Her sketches are created quickly taking no longer than 30 to 60 minutes from start to finish. "It's like, fast, easy art," said Carla.
Carla finds structure helps motivate her in the running of her design business, "I work very well with deadlines. Creativity needs rules," said Carla. She acknowledges her intuitive creative process, "It has to feel right, I can't be pushing it too much, I can't be looking for an idea too hard, it just sort of, has to happen," said Carla.
Carla's book waiting to be filled with her ideas.
The tragic dichotomy between our daily lives and the reality for the word's ocean creatures is captured in Carla's work.
"We have royally fucked the environment but we can turn it around even though the problem feels like it's way out of our control." A recent design project has seen Carla designing a poster to support Bye Bye Plastic Bags, a youth driven organisation based in Bali who have organised Bali's biggest beach clean up.
Carla is clear about her methods to engage an audience, "The way to tackle that is not through fear – that doesn't work. As soon as you tell somebody that it's too big, that's when apathy comes in…that's why I use humour."
As the designer for the Girls Will Be Girls blog, Carla supports feminism but feels her contributions are best placed elsewhere. "Feminism needs more women of colour representing it and talking about it and pushing for it so there's only so much I can add to the conversation. So I found myself actually feeling quite limited talking about feminism with my comics." Carla believes change is needed to acknowledge different feminist perspectives, "Female artists like myself, who are white, we have to do a lot more listening than creating when it comes to feminism." Choosing to focus instead on environmental issues, Carla said, "I felt like there weren't enough people doing the sort of illustrations that I'm doing."
Creating art is an essential part of who Carla is. "I've been drawing since I was a kid, I had a two year break of doing barely anything and it was probably the reason for heightened anxiety and not feeling great about everything." Her family are supportive of her work, encouraging her to pursue art and design, "My mum has always said that if I didn't do something creative I'd go crazy."
Carla has also painted in oils and had her work exhibited as part of Top Arts at the National Gallery of Victoria.
With a European background, Carla's family have always been sensitive to the environment with their lifestyle. Growing their own food, making their own honey and producing their own compost is a way of life for the Greek/Italian family creating a sense of independence and self-reliance. "In the zombie apocalypse, the Greeks will live," said Carla with a laugh. "If you could get everyone on board to grow something of their own it's probably better than most therapy going around."
Believing in the ability of backyard sustainable practices to create cultural shifts, Carla said, "The most rebellious thing you can do is grow your own food."
There's also optimism on the plastics front, showing that change is possible even in small ways.
"There's biodegradable glitter now," said Carla. Which is good news for fans of sparkly things and ocean dwellers alike.
