FEATURE PICTURE STORY
Doubly Devoted, The Tardif Twins
The Tardif twins, Joe and John, share an uncommon, unbreakable bond. Born 11 weeks premature, Joe arrived first weighing 1 pound. 13 ounces. John weighted 2 pounds 6 ounces. Their parents weren't sure either would survive. They did, albeit with very different outcomes. Eighteen years later, Joe is an accomplished high school athlete and John has Cerebral Palsy. He is wheelchair bound and is non verbal. Joe is devoted to his brother John, and John is Joe's biggest fan. The two are inseparable but facing the upcoming realization that with Joe's high school graduation, Joe will be going away to college separating the two for the first time in their lives. - Joe Tardif, lifts his twin brother John, out of his wheel chair in John's bedroom at their Cutchogue home on the evening of May 16, 2016.
John responds to any mention of his brother with a big thumbs up. "Johnny has made up his own signs with his right hand." Mother, Shelly Tardif explains. "He has no use of his left hand, so he cannot sign like everyone else. And unless you know him well, you would not know what he was saying or what his needs were." - Mattituck High School Baseball Player Joe Tardif fist bumps his twin brother John after a game on their home field on the morning of April 28, 2016.
Mattituck High School centerfielder and pitcher Joe Tardif led the Tuckers to the state Class B baseball championship in 2015. He was named New York State's Class B player of the year as a junior. and this year was names Suffolk League VIII MVP and Gold Glove recipient for the second year in a row. - Joe Tardif pitches during a game against Babylon on the afternoon of April 18, 2016
Mattituck, a small, tight-knit community on Long Island's North Fork, is known for wineries, tall corn stalks, its variety of vegetables and enormous sod farms. And anywhere you go, people know the Tardif twins. "They are amazing people and a part of the fabric of everyday life here in Mattituck," said Steve DeCaro, Joe's basbeball coach. "Everyone knows the Tardif family. It feels like they've been a part of our community forever." Go to any Mattituck baseball game and you'll find John cheering on the team. - Shelly Tardif hugs her son John on the sidelines as they watch Joe play baseball for Mattituck High School during a home game on the afternoon of April 28, 2016.
At the close of the baseball season, Mattiuck Coach Steve DeCaro came up with a special surprise for the Tardif family. After getting the blessing of Mattituck athletic director Gregg Wormuth, the coaching staff of that day�s opponent and the umpire crew, Coach DeCaro made his move. At the beginning of the bottom of the fifth inning, Smithtown Christian�s pitcher intentionally walked Joe. When he reached first base an announcement was made: �Now pinch running for Mattituck, No. 37, John Tardif.� �It happened so quickly,� Shelly Tardif said. �They gave him a jersey and a helmet and Joe pushed him onto first base. Wow!� With Joe Graeb at bat, Joe Tardif helped his brother steal second base and then headed the wheelchair for third base and home while the theme song from �Rocky� blared. May 13, 2016
As the twins reached home plate, the team surrounded them in celebration.�To say it was emotional is an understatement,� DeCaro said. �It was a very emotional moment for all of us who�ve watched the twins grow up. Everyone was touched by it.� Joe Tardif was so touched by it he struggled to find the right words. �There are really no words good enough for what happened that day; it�s indescribable,� he said. �It was a great surprise. I often wonder what it would have been like if things were different and he were out there with me every day. I�ve dreamed of those days because I know he would have been a great player. I�ll never forget our run around the bases and the team waiting for us at home plate and the smile on his face when he scored. �It was incredible.� May 13, 2016
Joe Tardif credits his twin for his drive to excel. �My brother is the world to me,� he said. �He�s an inspiration and the force behind my desire to be the best at anything I do. There�s really never a down day because we celebrate the good in life every day in our family. We live for each moment.� - Portrait of identical twins John and Joe Tardiff in their Cutchogue home on the afternoon of August 24, 2016.
�We do everything together,� Joe Tardif said of his relationship with his brother. �We could be playing Xbox or having a catch in the backyard, which he loves, or just watching TV. I include him in everything I do with my friends.� -Joe Tardif, right, plays catch with his twin brother John in his wheel chair in the back yard of their Cutchogue home on the afternoon of April 26, 2016.
�From as early as he could walk, Joe took care of John,� their father John Tardif said. �He made sure he was never alone. And as he grew he�d carry John to the toilet or the bath, and I never heard a complaint, never a change in demeanor. The song �[He Ain�t Heavy] He�s My Brother� comes to mind. I�m not sure Joe ever got a full night of sleep. John would shriek at night from the pain when his muscles got tight. John would only sleep five minutes at a time.� - Joe Tardif, left, helps his twin brother John, right as John eats dinner in the kitchen of their their Cutchogue home on the evening of May 16, 2016.
The twins father John Tardif explains, �Their births changed our lives forever. It brought the family closer together and it certainly opened our eyes to what is important in life. . . . It may sound corny, but it certainly has without a doubt made us closer.� - Joe Tardif pushes his twin brother John in his wheel chair in their Cutchogue home on the evening of May 16, 2016.
The twins are only apart for a short portion of the day. While Joe goes to high school, John takes a bus to classes at the Westhampton Beach BOCES, and is back in time to catch all of Joe�s games. That will change in the fall after Joe graduates high school and heads to SUNY Cortland, where he will play baseball and study criminology. - Shelly Tardif reacts as her son Joe puts on his cap and gown for his graduation from Mattituck High School on the morning of June 25, 2016
�It�s definitely going to be tough not to be able to see each other every morning when we wake up,� said Joe, who plans to keep in touch with John through FaceTime. �It�s going to be very difficult and the first time we�ve been separated in our lives.� - Joe Tardif embraces his twin brother John after his graduation ceremony at Mattiuck High School on the afternoon of June 25, 2016.
Oil Pipeline Protest Digging In
In this Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2016 photo, a person prays along the Cannonball River during a Native American water ceremony at the Oceti Sakowin camp where people have gathered to protest the Dakota Access oil pipeline in Cannon Ball, N.D. So far, those fighting the Dakota Access pipeline have shrugged off the heavy snow, icy winds and frigid temperatures that have swirled around their large encampment on the North Dakota grasslands. But if they defy next week�s government deadline to abandon the camp, demonstrators know the real deep freeze lies ahead. The government has ordered protesters to leave federal land by Monday, but they insist they will stay for as long it takes to divert the $3.8 billion pipeline. The Standing Rock Sioux tribe believes it threatens sacred sites and a river that provides drinking water for millions of people.

Bob Carman, left, and Dawn St. Clair, right, joke over a gift while wrapping presents for Dawn's children on Christmas eve. The two, along with Dawn's children, are the remaining residents of the Syosset Mobile Home Park off Jericho Turnpike in Syosset. It is the only mobile home park in Nassau County which has a median home value of $485,000. After a long legal battle from residents it is slated for demolition by a developer who now owns the land.
Dawn, her family, and Bob, center, hold hands while saying a prayer over Christmas dinner inside Bob's trailer. By combining the money they receive from state aid the two families are in search of a home in upstate New York before their eviction date.
"Every morning I wake up with my hand up making sure I'm not in a box." says Bob, "I feel like every day I'm here is my last day on earth." Bob is unemployed due to being diagnosed with lung disease, COPD, and diabetes. What little income he receives from the state goes to rent and food.
It's hard for Bob to be mobile due to his health condition, however, with eviction day nearing he makes his way outside of his trailer to fix his old pick up truck which will aid in the move from the park.
Bob's ex-wife Theresa Walch, closest to the door gives Bob unsettling news that the board up company is starting to secure plywood to the remaining trailers. Today was supposed to be eviction day, however with no where to go, the new owners of the property allow Dawn and Bob an extra week to find a place to live.
Members of a board up company begin to shut down and secure trailers on the property marking one step closer to demolition.
Dawn receives news from a real estate agent that a rental home deal in upstate New York has fallen through. Although depressing news, she desperately continues to search for a place for her family and Bob. If no home is found within a week their only options are a shelter or the streets.
With Bob having to be out of his home by midnight on eviction day, his ex-wife Theresa Walch stops by to make small talk and see him for the last time. Before leaving she gives him one last hug and kiss, saying "Good luck"
Bob sits alone for a while as Dawn and her boyfriend Traver Brown help move a couple of Bob's items into their trailer where he will be staying tonight.
Bob, with CPAP mask on, lays on a small bed fixed up by Dawn in her trailer for the night. In the last week they were able to find a rental home in Schenevus, New York. With the board up company arriving in the morning the two families will head upstate tomorrow.
As his parents pack the remaining boxes filled with their belongings into Bob's truck, Sean, Dawn and Travers son, walks over to the trailer Bob lived in and places his hand on the boarded up window. "Goodbye Bob's home.", he says.
After a long strenuous moving day, including a three hour drive to a home he had yet to lay eyes on, Bob finally stretches out on his new bed, in his new home for the first time. It's the largest bed he's ever owned and in the morning he says "It was the most amazing sleep I've had in my life."

(Summary) Naoshi Sato, 82, lost his son, Shoichi, when the earthquake and the tsunami hit Japan in March 2011. His old house, where he had lived his entire life, was badly damaged. Even though most survivors fled to evacuation centers and settled into temporary houses, he chose to remain in his half-destroyed house living amid debris, without electricity or running water. Naoshi believed that he had to be there for his dead son. His wife, Teruko, 77, and Shoichi�s wife, Mio, 48, followed his spirit at the beginning, and they huddled together on what remained of their family plot for four months. But the Satos� misery over losing Shoichi consumed them. They are now in the midst of a painful separation after five decades of marriage, and they have cut their grief-stricken daughter-in-law out of their lives entirely. (Caption) Naoshi Sato, 82, looks at sunrise from his bedroom at his new house in Kesen, a small community in Rikuzentakata city, Iwate Prefecture, Japan, October 26, 2016. Naoshi lost his son, Shoichi, when the 2011 earthquake and the tsunami hit Japan, and his house was badly damaged. Even though Naoshi has rebuilt the family house, the first one in the neighborhood, he has spent his days alone there ever since.

Shoichi, a member of a volunteer fire corps, was swallowed by the tsunami when he was helping an older villager evacuate. Out of 550 homes, all but two were destroyed in Kesen, and more than 200 villagers lost their lives. The Satos huddled together on what remained of their family plot for four months after the disaster. But the loss of Shoichi destroyed the delicate dynamics that had bound the Satos together.

She has been living by herself in a bleak temporary house after she left the Satos' house more than four years ago. Mio was hoping to live with her in-laws, but Teruko refused to do so. Mio was emotionally hurt and moved away from Kesen. Overcoming her grief has been extremely hard. Only Noa, a dog she got after the tsunami, cheers her up. The time with Noa helps her to heal her wounds.

The debris was gone a long time ago, but a scarred emotional landscape remains. It seems to be difficult to reunite the community, which is what Naoshi is hoping for. The Satos� progress has been equally slow. They all visited the family�s grave on the anniversary, but they were not together. Despite of his loneliness at home, he puts his effort to restore the community and keeps his spirits up.

Call it fate, destiny or karma, but "The Place Beyond the Pines" is where two roads converge into one.
Derek Cianfrance, writer and director of "Blue Valentine," creates another drama that flits between the past and present. However, unlike "Blue Valentine," which chronicles the failing marriage of a young couple through flashbacks, "The Place Beyond the Pines" is told chronologically.
The first third of the 140-minute film follows Luke and his motorcycle. The roar of his bike and the scream of the carnival crowd are deafening. While Gosling's stunt double, Rick Miller, performs the most dangerous stunts, such as driving a motorcycle into a spherical cage or driving the bike through the woods and a cemetery, Gosling does some stunt work, such as driving a motorcycle into a busy intersection.
Cinematographer Sean Bobbitt specializes in producing long one-take shots that follow the character. Because of this, Gosling and Miller did not have time to switch positions in that particular scene. In the most impressive one-take sequence, Bobbitt's camera follows Luke as he gets dressed, walks into the carnival tent and then gets on a bike. The camera then follows the bike into the cage.
This isn't the first time Gosling played a stunt performer — he was the title character in Nicolas Winding Refn's "Drive" two years ago. Compared to his performance in "Drive," Gosling is much more vocal, if not violent. He's desperate as he screams obscenities at the bank tellers shoving money into his backpack. In another scene, he punches a man in the eye, drawing crimson blood. While Gosling, the face of the "Hey Girl" memes, is personable, his character tiptoes along the precarious line of good and bad.
Cooper, who played the cop pursuing Luke, also performs his own stunt work. As Cooper drives his police car through the cemetery, the director of photography is sitting in the passenger's seat, filming Cooper and the motorcycle he's chasing.
While Cianfrance creates an engaging drama, "The Place Beyond the Pines" may be too ambitious. The film contains three stories: the stuntman-turned-bank-robber, the cop who pursued him, and their sons, which could easily have been three separate movies or episodes. While each storyline is well crafted, the film runs almost two and a half hours.
"The Place Beyond the Pines" may contain plenty of exposition, but Gosling and Cooper's performances support the film's long, convoluted script. Cooper, who has a similar height and build to Gosling, is a believable casting choice to play the heroic cop in a corrupt frat-boy police force. Moreover, his and Gosling's similar appearances allow Cianfrance to create more efficient parallels. Both Luke and Avery have one-year-old sons, both are placed in morally ambiguous situations and both characters' similar looks highlight these plot points, creating a sense of closure.
While "The Place Beyond the Pines" ties three stories together, it's an ugly and messy story, filled with crime, corruption and karma.
Drama film "The Place Beyond the Pines," features a star-studded cast, strong cinematography and multiple stories.

Modeling strongly correlated systems is a very delicate task. For instance, the theory for the phonon spectrum of uranium has only been available since 2008.
Based on numerical simulations, we have reached a new step in our understanding of the mechanisms that drive the growth of carbon nanotubes. One of the most commonly used methods for synthesizing carbon nanotubes is chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
We have designed and fabricated the first electron pump using silicon on insulator (SOI) in a standard microelectronics technology. These devices could be used as electrical current standards.
Were you aware that atomic disorder in a metal could result in a quantum transition to an insulating state? Then, what about it when the metal is also a superconductor? Spatially resolved tunneling spectroscopy has revealed the spectral signature of this transition in this paradoxical context.
We have just discovered a new spin ice, i.e., a magnetic system with a residual entropy at low temperature. Statistical physics teaches us that a system's entropy goes to a finite limit when the temperature approaches absolute zero.
When two superconductors are connected through a tunnel junction, electron pairs -- the so-called Cooper pairs -- can flow from one to the other. This phenomenon is known as the Josephson effect.
It has been known for a couple of years that superconductivity in correlated electron systems can coexist with a ferromagnetic state.
In the quest for high critical temperature superconductors (HTCS), a new family of iron-based compounds was discovered in 2008, some of them containing arsenic while others, more recently found, contain selenium or tellurium.
Following the downsizing of microelectronics devices, a large variability in the characteristics of nominally identical transistors is observed.
WHAT IS HIDDEN BEHIND THE PSEUDO-GAP?
One of the main characteristics of high critical temperature superconductors is the existence of an abnormally small density of electronic states at the Fermi level, in the normal state. We have just witnessed similar behaviour in a conventional, albeit very disordered, superconductor.
A neutron resonance spin echo (NRSE) option has recently been installed on the three-axis spectrometer IN22 (CRG at the ILL). This device enables a gain up to two orders of magnitude in terms of energy resolution, and permits precise measurements of dispersive excitation lifetimes.
After more than 20 years of intense research, the nature of the phase which appears below 18 K in the compound URu2Si2 remains a mystery. Until now, no measurement using a microscopic probe has been able to directly link a physical parameter to this phase.
Starting with a self-assembled SiGe island, we have fabricated a device in which we can precisely control the number of charge carriers. Thanks to the properties of the material in use, this device provides a means to manipulate the spin of the charge carriers in an unprecedented way.
Using a single silicon nanowire, we have made the first prototype of a multipurpose device which can be used as a field effect transistor, a Schottky diode or a p-n diode.

If you're looking for entertainment in Burton on Trent, then take a look at the videos, photos and reviews below and if you like what you see then get in touch and I'll be happy to help out.
One of the main issues with choosing an entertainer for your child's party or family event is that it can sometimes be difficult to find someone who you will match up to your expectations. After all for children, their birthday party is the most important day of their year, and a day they'll look back on for years to come! Fortunately, Ready Steady Magic is one of the leading children's entertainment providers in the Burton area and I work hard to make sure that I can provide you with a party that ticks all the boxes.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the show with your children! After all a birthday party should be a treasured moment for life!
And it's not just birthday parties! My magic shows and entertainment are perfect for other family celebrations and public events across Burton on Trent.
The Ready Steady Magic show is perfect for children's birthday parties, christenings, school shows, workshops and family fun days. I perform every single weekend across the Midlands including in Barton under Needwood, Branston, Rolleston and Burton on Trent. Dates do get booked up, so get in touch today to secure your date and avoid disappointment.
