Self-employment discounts one fifth of working dads from paid paternity leave
Self-employment could mean new fathers miss out on childcare
With Fathers' Day falling on 18 June this year, new research from the TUC workers' union has found that over one in five new fathers don't qualify for paid paternity leave because they're self-employed.
TUC analysis revealed that 22 per cent of the 600,000 working fathers in Britain failed to qualify for statutory paid paternity pay in the last 12 months, with the main reason being that they were self-employed.
In total, around 99,000 working fathers had their statutory paid paternity pay affected by self-employment, whereas approximately 32,000 didn't receive paid paternity leave because they hadn't been working for their companies for long enough.
According to the TUC, the law requires UK employees to have at least six months' service with their current employer by the 15th week before their baby is due to qualify for paid paternity leave.
In a statement, TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady called on the government to introduce a paternity allowance for fathers who aren't eligible for statutory paternity pay, which would be similar to the maternity allowance which self-employed mothers, and mothers who haven't been with their employers long enough, can claim.
O'Grady added: "When fathers share caring responsibilities it helps strengthen relationships, improve child well-being and makes it easier for mothers to continue their careers. We'd like to see all dads being given a right to longer, better-paid leave when a child is born.
"Paid paternity leave and shared parental leave have been important steps forward, but many families are missing out on these benefits – or simply can't afford to use them. I would urge all parents and parents-to-be to join a union to make sure their interests are represented and their voices heard at work."
With the statutory paternity pay rate currently set at £139.58 per week – around half of someone earning the minimum wage would earn over a 35-hour week – many fathers at the lower end of the income scale struggle to take time off to raise their children.
In contrast, fathers in higher-paid jobs that are more professional tend to benefit more from their employer when seeking fully-paid paternity leave.

Retail REIT CBL Says Malls Moving to Include Customer Experiences Alongside Shopping
7/5/2016 | By Sarah Borchersen-Keto
Stephen Lebovitz, president and CEO of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (NYSE: CBL), joined REIT.com for a CEO Spotlight video interview at REITWeek 2016: NAREIT's Investor Forum at the Waldorf Astoria New York.
CBL owns enclosed malls and open-air shopping centers across the United States.
Lebovitz discussed the main changes occurring in CBL's portfolio.
"The mall is really evolving. With the current state of the retail environment, it's transitioning to more of a customer experience-based model and not just a shopping-based model," he said.
Lebovitz also discussed the retail bankruptcy environment. He noted that 2015 was "a tough year for the malls," with five high-profile bankruptcies. This year has been more muted, he noted.
Lebovitz stressed that in the long-term, bankruptcies present an opportunity to bring in new retailers, but short-term there is clearly a financial impact to deal with.
Turning to the impact of technology on the retail sector, Lebovitz said he sees challenges and opportunities. The challenge is that online shopping is taking market share from bricks-and-mortar retailers, and is causing them to change their business model.
On the opportunity side, technology has led to new retailers entering the mall that started online only, he noted. Another positive aspect is that retailers are innovating and finding new ways to communicate with the customer, Lebovitz said.

Tencent's Quarterly Earnings Disappoint As WeChat And Mobile Gaming Growth Slows
Catherine Shu	Jon Russell	6 years
Chinese Internet juggernaut Tencent issued a disappointing third-quarter earnings report today, missing profit estimates. This was due in large part to slowing revenue from mobile gaming, which generates more than half of its sales. The company also disclosed that it had spent less money advertising its messaging app WeChat in the West because of sluggish adoption in those markets.
Tencent's third-quarter net income increased 46 percent year-on-year to 5.66 billion RMB ($924 million), behind the 6.1 billion yuan analysts surveyed by Bloomberg had predicted. Meanwhile, revenue climbed 28 percent annually to 19.8 billion RMB ($3.2 billion), but that was the slowest quarterly growth the company has seen in over seven years.
Revenue from its mobile-gaming business declined to 2.6 billion RMB, compared 3 billion RMB in the previous quarter. Furthermore, WeChat's monthly active users rose just 6.8 percent during the quarter to 468 million monthly active users, its most sluggish growth since Tencent first started releasing user numbers.
Tencent had warned investors back in August that it expected its mobile gaming revenue growth to level out temporarily as it works on adding more titles and integrating e-commerce services. During its earnings call today, Tencent said that titles on its games portal QQ are better at making money than games on WeChat, but it didn't break out whether WeChat or QQ makes more on game revenue.
At stake is the rivalry between Tencent and Alibaba for mobile users. Alibaba has launched its own messaging app, called Laiwang. In turn, Tencent is trying to grab a share of China's e-commerce market, which is currently dominated by Alibaba. In March, Tencent took a 15 percent stake in Alibaba rival JD.com. As part of the agreement, JD.com acquired Tencent's QQ Wangguo B2C and PaiPai C2C marketplace businesses, while Tencent agreed to support JD's e-commerce growth by offering access to users on WeChat, Mobile QQ, and other platforms. Both companies are also working on an online payment service that may become a competitor to Alibaba affiliate Alipay.
Tough messaging war
WeChat may be China's dominant messaging service, and one that has largely step into the void that Facebook could have filled were it accessible in China, but things are less rosy outside of China. Tencent revealed that WeChat now has 468 million users — while that represents a 6.8 percent growth on the previous quarter, it is the lowest increase the service has seen since Tencent began breaking out figures for it.
The company doesn't specific how many of its users are based in China — it is likely the overwhelming majority — but Tencent has always been thought to believe that WeChat could make inroads in overseas markets. The company has pumped resources into promoting the app in large, chat app-centric markets like India and Indonesia, running TV ads and other promotions, but it is coming up against strong incumbent opposition in these countries.
Facebook-owned WhatsApp, for example, leads the field with 70 million active users in India, while Facebook Messenger and local service Hike are particularly strong there. Tencent has never provided WeChat figures for individual markets so it's impossible to know exactly how it has performed in India and other countries with growth potential.
For Tencent to admit that it is scaling back its promotion of WeChat in some markets is certainly evidence that the mobile messaging war is a tough business to be in. Facebook, on the other hand, makes it look easy, with over 600 million monthly active users for WhatsApp and 500 million monthly active users for Messenger.
Tencent remains a giant
Tencent's revenue slowed significantly this quarter, but the company remains in a good position all-round. WeChat is still the single most dominant mobile application in China — where mobile is a growing force, as this year's Singles' Day sales showed — and, as mentioned, the company is working to introduce a new set of mobile games that it believes will unlock greater engagement and increased revenue from its userbase.
Clearly growing outside of China, where Tencent trades off of its status and legacy in internet services, was always going to be tricky, and it is likely that the company will return to the drawing board to consider what it can do overseas. Tencent quietly launched VoIP apps that sync with WeChat earlier today, as it begins to explore what kind of services will resonate with mobile users.


Convercent, the leading provider of cloud ethics and compliance management software, in partnership with Ethisphere Institute, the global leader in defining the standards of ethical business practice, today released the second annual 2017 Ethics and Compliance Survey. According to the 2017 survey, the importance of an ethical business culture is rapidly gaining visibility at the top level of organizational leadership and taking its rightful place as a long-term differentiator. The past year of ethics scandals and public compliance failures across industries further validates the need for a top-to-bottom ethical culture. This year's survey of over 300 ethics and compliance professionals examines this shift from reactive, check-the-box compliance to proactive ethics.
Today's Biggest Ethics and Compliance Challenges: Chief Compliance and Ethics Officers face unprecedented external and internal scrutiny around ethical blunders. At the same time, many still lack the technology and tools needed to (1) effectively aggregate and analyze data or (2) gain the high level view needed to tie ethics and values to the financial and strategic goals of the organization. Most CECOs are forced to gather siloed data from multiple departments. This alone is a huge contributor to lack of data visibility and ultimately inhibits proactivity.
Why Tapping Into the 'Voice of the Employee' is Critical: Effective intake methods are critical for gaining insight into the ethical health of an organization. Prioritizing what employees communicate and also how they communicate is crucial. For example, nearly 73 percent of employees in Ethisphere's overall culture data set say they raise concerns with their manager; however many respondents admitted they do not track open door reports. This indicates many organizations are missing out on critical insights into the health of the organization.
Proof CECOs are Taking a Seat at the Table: This year's survey found ethics and compliance professionals are getting more access to CEOs than ever before. Forty-seven percent said they speak with their CEOs more than once a month. And nearly half (44 percent) say they report regularly to the board. This is a positive indicator that top-line leadership is increasingly recognizing compliance and ethics as critical business differentiators.
The survey collected 335 responses from senior-level executives in ethics, compliance, or anti-corruption.
Nearly 48 percent held respondents of compliance and ethics officer or chief compliance officer. Thirteen percent were general counsel or chief legal officer.
The median employee headcount was 8,200; the majority of organizations' revenue was between $1 billion and $8 billion.

Après des études secondaires à la Endicott High School d'Endicott (New York), Brad Bergesen est repêché le 5 juin 2001 par les Orioles de Baltimore au cinquième tour de sélection.

Il débute en Ligue majeure le 29 juillet 2006. Il évolue quasi exclusivement en ligues mineures en 2007, puis trouve sa place dans l'effectif de relève des Orioles à partir de la saison 2008. Il obtient sa première victoire le 2 juin 2008 face aux Red Sox de Boston.

Johnson devient stoppeur le 30 juillet 2009 à la suite du transfert de George Sherrill chez les Dodgers de Los Angeles. Johnson termine 29 matchs lors de la deuxième moitié de la saison 2009, en enregistrant dix sauvetages.

En 2010, il maintient une moyenne de points mérités de 3,42 en 26 manches et un tiers lancées. En 26 sorties, il remporte une victoire, subit une défaite et enregistre un sauvetage.

Appelé occasionnellement dans le rôle de stoppeur en 2011, il réussit 9 sauvetages. Johnson ajoute 6 victoires à sa fiche contre 5 revers mais présente surtout une excellente moyenne de points mérités de 2,67 en 69 matchs et 91 manches au monticule.

Saison 2012

Devenu stoppeur des Orioles, Jim Johnson est l'une des grandes raisons des surprenants succès de l'équipe qui, en 2012, connaît sa première saison gagnante en 15 ans et décroche une qualification en séries éliminatoires. Baltimore remporte 29 de ses 38 matchs décidés par la marge d'un seul point, un record du baseball majeur, et Johnson mène tout le baseball majeur avec 51 sauvetages. Il termine la saison régulière avec une moyenne de points mérités de 2,49 en 68 manches et deux tiers lancées lors de 71 matchs joués. Sa fiche est de deux victoires et une défaite. Il est nommé releveur du mois de  et meilleur releveur de la saison 2012 dans la Ligue américaine.

Le , les Orioles jouent leur premier match éliminatoire depuis 1997. Johnson entre dans le match en  avec son club en avant par 4 points et enregistre les 3 derniers retraits du match de meilleur deuxième remporté par Baltimore sur les champions en titre de la Ligue américaine, les Rangers du Texas. La ronde éliminatoire suivante, qui est la Série de division entre les Orioles et les Yankees de New York, se déroule plus difficilement pour lui. Lanceur perdant du premier match de la série, il réussit le sauvetage dans le second, avant de saboter l'avance dans le troisième affrontement, alors qu'il est victime d'un coup de circuit de Raúl Ibáñez après un retrait en fin de neuvième manche. Johnson sauvegarde la seconde victoire des Orioles dans le match #4 mais n'entre pas en jeu dans la cinquième et ultime partie, qui scelle l'élimination de son club.

En 2012, Jim Johnson décroche sa première invitation au match des étoiles de mi-saison. Il termine  au vote désignant le vainqueur du trophée Cy Young du meilleur lanceur de la Ligue américaine et récolte même quelques votes pour le prix du joueur de l'année, prenant le  du scrutin.

Saison 2013
Avec 50 sauvetages, Jim Johnson mène en 2013 le baseball majeur pour la deuxième année de suite. Malgré 8 défaites pour aller avec ses 3 victoires, il maintient une moyenne de points mérités de 2,94 en 70 manches et un tiers lancées lors de ses 74 sorties.

En revanche, Johnson sabote 9 fois l'avance de son équipe en 2013, ce qui représente une source d'inquiétude pour la direction du club.

Athletics d'Oakland
Le , les Orioles de Baltimore échangent Jim Johnson aux Athletics d'Oakland contre Jemile Weeks, un joueur de deuxième but. Johnson s'avère complètement inefficace pour les A's, qui le libèrent de son contrat le , après l'avoir soumis au ballottage sans qu'aucun des 29 autres clubs ne le réclame, vraisemblablement en raison des 10 millions de dollars qui lui étaient dus. Dès le , les A's lui enlèvent le rôle de stoppeur et le remplacent par Sean Doolittle. Après 5 matchs, il avait déjà accordé 6 buts-sur-balles, 7 points mérités et 9 coups sûrs en 3 manches et un tiers lancées, pour une moyenne de points mérités de 18,90. Finalement, Johnson ne réalise que deux sauvetages pour Oakland en 38 matchs. Gagnant de 4 victoires contre deux défaites, sa moyenne se chiffre à 7,14 points mérités accordés par partie en 40 manches et un tiers lancées, avec 28 retraits sur des prises et 23 buts-sur-balles alloués.

Tigers de Détroit
Johnson signe un contrat des ligues mineures avec les Tigers de Détroit le  et est assigné aux Mud Hens de Toledo, leur club-école de niveau AAA. En 16 matchs des Tigers, sa moyenne de points mérités s'élève à 6,92 en 13 manches lancées, mais il porte une victoire à sa fiche. Il termine sa saison 2014 avec 5 victoires, deux défaites et une moyenne de 7,09 points mérités par partie en 53 manches et un tiers lancées et 54 matchs joués au total pour Oakland et Détroit.

Braves d'Atlanta

Le , Johnson signe un contrat d'un an avec les Braves d'Atlanta.

Dodgers de Los Angeles
Avec le lanceur partant gaucher Alex Wood, le releveur gaucher Luis Avilán, le lanceur partant droitier Bronson Arroyo et le joueur d'avant-champ des ligues mineures José Peraza, Johnson est le  échangé aux Dodgers de Los Angeles contre le joueur de deuxième but Héctor Olivera, le releveur gaucher Paco Rodriguez et le lanceur droitier des ligues mineures Zachary Bird.

Retour à Atlanta
Le , Johnson retourne chez les Braves d'Atlanta, de qui il accepte un contrat d'une saison à 2,5 millions de dollars.

Il protège 20 victoires des Braves en 2016 et 22 en 2017.

Angels de Los Angeles
Atlanta l'échange aux Angels de Los Angeles le  en retour du lanceur gaucher des ligues mineures Justin Kelly.

Q: conda installation of peakutils.peak in python I want to use
import peakutils.peak in python (ubuntu 16.04)

I use anaconda packages in python. How could I download peakutils package using conda.
I use
conda install -c cbetters peakutils=1.0.3

But the error that I got:
import peakutils.peak
ImportError: No module named peakutils.peak

A: When you cannot find a package to install with conda, then try using pip to install it from PyPI (the Python package Index) or from local source or even some other repository.
Since PeakUtils is available from PyPI (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PeakUtils). Here is what it looked like for me just now (UPPER/lower case does not seem to matter):

Q: Blazor Server - When is blazor-error-ui displayed? I'm slightly confused about how blazor-error-ui works in practice. I understand that it's hidden by default because of CSS (via display: none), but I can't seem to get it to appear by causing errors in the application.
According to the Blazor docs:

The blazor-error-ui element is normally hidden due to the presence of the display: none style of the blazor-error-ui CSS class in the site's stylesheet [...] When an error occurs, the framework applies display: block to the element.

Emphasis mine.
The docs say that an error should cause the blazor-error-ui div to have its display property set to block, but throwing an exception takes me to an developer exception page, and doesn't actually display the div at all. If I set the environment to Release, it takes me to the /Error page, instead.
So, when does the blazor-error-ui div actually get shown? When Blazor itself has an internal error?

A: I won't mark this as accepted, because I couldn't find an official source for this, and my own testing yielded mixed results so far.
It seems like errors that occur within events can trigger blazor-error-ui, but those thrown from page lifecycle methods don't.
For example:
Clicking on a <button> element that has an @onclick=[...] method defined that throws an exception causes blazor-error-ui to appear.
However, throwing an exception directly from a @page's lifecycle methods (i.e. OnInitializedAsync()) appear to not trigger blazor-error-ui.
I'm unsure if this is intended behavior or not, since the docs don't seem to mention this.

A: As I know the developer exception page shouldn't be used in production mode so for this purpose blazor-error-ui may be used in Blazor Application
In your case exception redirects you to developer exception page so to see blazor-error-ui div block you should disable developer exception page

Officers removed as defendants in Dominique White's family's lawsuit
Tim Hrenchir
threnchir@cjonline.com
Topeka police officers Justin Mackey and Michael Cruse have been removed as defendants in the lawsuit being pursued by family members of Dominique White, whom Mackey and Cruse fatally shot in September 2017.
A federal judge on Monday – the third anniversary of White's death – issued a 54-page ruling dismissing the first count of a two-count lawsuit filed in June 2018 against Topeka's city government, Mackey, Cruse and five unnamed officers.
The lawsuit's second count, which contends the city failed to train its police officers adequately, continues to move forward. A trial date hasn't been set.
Mackey, Cruse and any unnamed officers are to be removed as defendants because they have qualified immunity, U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree concluded in Monday's ruling.
Qualified immunity shields government officials performing discretionary functions from liability for civil damages if their conduct doesn't violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known.
"After reviewing the relevant case law, the court concludes the law wasn't clearly established that Officers Cruse and Mackey violated Mr. White's Fourth Amendments rights under the circumstances of this case," Crabtree wrote.
Mackey and Cruse continue to work as Topeka police officers.
White's family's attorney – Andrew M. Stroth, managing director of Chicago-based Action Injury Law Group, a national civil rights law firm – said Tuesday they were reviewing Crabtree's ruling and would pursue all available legal options moving forward.
"Similar to other young Black males in America, Dominique White was unjustifiably killed by the police," Stroth said. "In this case, the two officers working within the scope of their employment with the Topeka Police Department tragically and without provocation killed Dominique."
City of Topeka media relations coordinator Molly Hadfield on Tuesday released a one-sentence statement from the city in reaction to Monday's ruling.
"The court found that the law was not clearly established that Mr. White's Fourth Amendment rights were violated under the circumstances of this case, and that the officers were entitled to qualified immunity," the city said.
Mackey and Cruse were on duty when they fatally shot White, 30, in the back after a struggle the morning of Sept. 28, 2017, near Ripley Park at S.E. 3rd and Lawrence.
White denied he had a gun, then resisted the officers as they tried to seize a handgun from his shorts pocket, said Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay.
White was shot after running away from officers with his left hand hovering over the pocket containing the gun, Kagay said.
The officers were cleared of criminal wrongdoing in the case, and an internal police investigation concluded they had committed no policy violations.
Stroth filed a two-count lawsuit in June 2018 on behalf of White's father, Kelly White, and Dominique White's four minor children against Mackey, Cruse, the city of Topeka and five unnamed officers. Dominique White's mother, Mary Theresa Wynne, was later added as a plaintiff.
The suit's first count contended Mackey and Cruse shot White without just cause. The second contends the city and its police department trained officers inadequately.
Crabtree issued a summary judgment Monday dismissing the first count. A summary judgment is a determination made by a court without a full trial.
"This is a particularly difficult case," Crabtree wrote in the first sentence of Monday's ruling.
He concluded attorneys for White's family hadn't discharged their responsibility to come forward with "clearly established weight of authority from other courts" that would find "the law to be as the plaintiff maintains."
In Monday's ruling, Crabtree addressed various past court decisions regarding police use of force.
"Unlike other cases where officers learned later that the suspect wasn't armed, the officers here actually knew Mr. White had a gun in his pocket," he stressed. "Officer Mackey saw the gun in Mr. White's pocket, and Officer Cruse later recovered it (along with additional magazines) from Mr. White's pocket. Mr. White resisted the officers' attempts to secure the weapon, and he ignored their commands to lie down and stop. Instead, Mr. White struggled against the officers' attempts to secure the firearm, he broke free from them, and he ran away while armed with a gun in his pocket."

More about the Acai Berry
The acai berry is also called the Assai palm, euterpe palm, palmito acai, asai, cabbage palm, assaizeiro, pina palm, palmier pinot, and jucara.
Parts used: fruit, heart.
The acai fruit comes from the acai palm, which is a tall, slender South American (concentrated in Brazil, Guyana, and Suriname) palm grown for its fruit as well as for the "cabbage" (the cluster of new leaves more commonly called the "heart of palm"). It prefers swampy areas, and grows quickly. The fronds were (and still are) used for thatching and weaving.
Each acai berry palm tree produces small deep purple, almost black, fruit (berries) in groups of 3-8 per bunch. The fruit is edible, and its pulp is used in wines and liqueurs, as a flavoring, as a colorant, and on its own as a juice and, now Amazon Thunder acai.
Acai berry is currently being tested not only for its health properties, but as a dyeing, or contrasting, agent in the human body in preparation for MRI scans of the gastrointestinal tract.

The first set of questions L'Artiste had thought up were clearly geared towards me. I thought the idea was to ask non-specific questions, but then, I am not taking part so it is none of my business. Anyway, L'Artiste disappeared again to come up with new questions for Lil' Sculpture. No, L'Artiste isn't the fastest runner out of the blocks but finally, finally, he was ready to present our mascot with his questions.
1. You are obviously an outsider, but having said that, is there anything you have in common with the Dedes?
Lil' Sculpture: We are all made from recycled materials.
2. What sets you apart from the Dedes?
Lil' Sculpture: I am cut from a different cloth. I am made from polystyrene and twigs, while they are made from newspapers. I am just dumb padding, while they carry the knowledge of the world in them.
3. Outsiders often have a better insight. What do you think about the Dedes?
Lil' Sculpture: They are a great lot. I certainly wouldn't say anything bad about my hosts. It was generous of them to take me in, otherwise I would have landed in the big skip. I will always be grateful!
4. What is your biggest problem being a minority?
Lil' Sculpture: I can't really complain. I have become their mascot. I have found my place. I am convinced this is the best job I could have landed here. On the other hand, to be really honest, it can be a little depressing to think that this is the best job I can achieve here. It is very clear this is the pinnacle of my career. This is how close I can get to the Dedes. I will never be one of them. I am only their mascot and when I am depressed it feels belittling. They obviously don't trust me to make a good decision. As a mascot I get blamed when things don't work the way they should and I am not allowed to offer any suggestions.
Lil' Sculpture: I hear I am not the only polystyrene sculpture. There are other ones out there just like me. One day I would like to catch up with some of them. But then, I am also a bit scared as we grew up in different places. We might look the same but there is a chance that we have absolutely nothing in common. As long as I don't meet them I can dream on!
It came as a surprise that he is so unhappy. Maybe the Dedes are now more aware of his plight and will treat him with more respect… Time will tell.
I'm intrigued about the only 2 titles visible in the background.. Spike Milligan… and Conspiracy. Accidental???
Lil' Sculpture need not feel inferior. Obviously, he possesses a sensitive soul within all that foam. The Dedes can also be hollow and although they are made of words they don't always seem to know their meanings.

News - Rembrandt: thinking on paper
The British Museum's new exhibition Rembrandt: thinking on paper opens tomorrow...
The exhibition features a stunning selection of drawings and prints by Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) that reveal rare insight into the Dutch artist's development and experimentation. Over 60 treasured works will each vividly showcasing Rembrandt's hand at work, from quick sketches to fully realised compositions. Marking the 350th anniversary of Rembrandt's death, this exhibition will be dedicated entirely to Rembrandt's works on paper. The British Museum holds one of the most important collections of Rembrandt's prints and drawings in the world, and this exhibition offers a chance to see works rarely exhibited due to light-sensitivity.
This exhibition examines Rembrandt's creative process on paper by bringing together related subjects from throughout his life. Rembrandt's prints were rarely commissioned and remained a personal venture. As such these are perhaps the best document of his working practice. Thematic displays of Rembrandt's self-portraits, landscapes and biblical scenes will illuminate his artistic development, his changing techniques and stylistic shifts.
At the heart of this exhibition stands Young woman sleeping (Hendrickje Stoffels?) (c.1654) an evocative brush drawing of the woman thought to be Rembrandt's late lover caught in an intimate moment of rest. Rembrandt's depictions of women seem to offer a poignant glimpse into his personal life. His studio was located in his home, as was customary at the time, and he drew women both in formally posed sessions and in spontaneous moments in the household. Other depictions of women include Rembrandt's early portrait of his wife Saskia ill in bed.
On display for the first time is Rembrandt's printing plate for Reclining female nude (1658), alongside an impression of the print, giving technical insight into Rembrandt's printmaking practice. Rembrandt was keen observer of life, as seen in his drawings and informal 'study sheet' etchings. His pen-and-ink Sketches of an old man and child (c.1639-40) reveal how he captured movement in quick studies from life, as two sequential sketches show a child playfully removing a hat from a man's head.
Rembrandt was the first artist to produce a wide range of self-portraits in print, and depicted himself in various guises and moods. On display will be one of Rembrandt's earliest prints, the unusually large Self-portrait, bareheaded, bust in frontal view (1629) of which only two impressions are known, as it was never intended for distribution. This is presented alongside Rembrandt's later, well-known work Self portrait drawing at a window (1648 - pictured top) where Rembrandt depicts himself at work drawing his own likeness on a copper plate. These diverse prints reveal how the artist's image shifted from a studio exercise and developed into a marketable product, perhaps not dissimilar to self-fashioning a public image in today's world.
A final section of the exhibition will examine Rembrandt's religious works, encapsulating his shift from Baroque drama to quiet introspection. Rembrandt treated the subject of St Jerome over seven times in print, and on display will be a selection of prints reflecting his changing interpretations of the saint. Chronological comparisons will reveal the artist's relentless pursuit of new pictorial possibilities. Rembrandt imbued light with religious significance in his works, creating dramatic moods as captured in Raising of Lazarus (c.1632, pictured above) which shows the shocked onlookers behind Christ. Later in his life, Rembrandt created some of his darkest and most complex prints. A highpoint of this section will be his late, large drypoints the Three Crosses (1653 - pictured bottom) and Ecce Homo (1655, pictured below), displayed in a sequential run.
Rembrandt is among the best-loved of Old Master artists, and this exhibition offers a rare opportunity to view his creativity on paper. It also marks the completion of the landmark publication Rembrandt and Rembrandt-school drawings (British Museum research publication by Martin Royalton-Kisch, published online in 2009 here), and attests to the Museum's continuing work on Rembrandt, as well as its great collection of Rembrandt's works on paper.
Rembrandt: thinking on paper will run from 7th February to 4th August 2019 in Room 90 at the British Museum and is FREE to view.

AmphibiaWeb has been an active member of the Alliance since the beginning of 2014 but with an increasing need for a coordinated data resource it was natural for AmphibiaWeb to take on a more formal role for the Alliance.
AmphibiaWeb, the web based platform that provides information on amphibian declines, natural history, conservation and taxonomy entered into a new partnership with the ASA at the end of 2014 to help fill the gaps in the coordinated sharing of amphibian related data. Established in 2000, they have a long established database.
As many of our readers know, the Alliance obtains many of its priority actions from the IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group. One of the identified actions was to "create and promote the use of data sharing tools." To address this action the Alliance has been working with a number of partners to determine what resources were currently available, as well as what options may exist for creating such tools.
A recognized need is a central authority on amphibian science. AmphibiaWeb's roots in the science community and in biodiversity informatics are important in this regard. Specifically, AmphibiaWeb tracks new species publications and localities, provides monthly amphibian declines literature, provides access to mapped species observations and range maps, as well as connects with amphibian experts around the world to provide vetted information on taxonomy, disease, and natural history. With about 20,000 queries per day and scores of scientists and herpetology students contributing photos, information and accounts each year, AmphibiaWeb has a growing and solid community of international users who are demonstrating their concern for the conservation of these unique animals.
"By partnering with AmphibiaWeb to create the Alliance's "Science Zone" we are helping to build the resources of this important website but also helping to provide the science community with a one stop shop for all things related to amphibian data," said Don Church, Executive Director of the Alliance.
Most importantly, the new partnership of AmphibiaWeb and ASA will lead to new collaborative projects. One of the first projects will be an interactive and disease-monitoring portal. Working with groups like Bd Maps, Bsal Maps, Ranavirus Maps and a number of labs and organizations, the Alliance and AmphibiaWeb will collaborate to develop a tool that can link databases and provide a range of tools for both sharing and analyzing disease-related data.
The long-term goal of the Science Zone is the creation of a tool that will be as useful for amphibian researchers as it is for policy makers and educators alike, a truly collaborative platform that will be utilized by a range of stakeholders.
These types of projects are essential for the progress of amphibian conservation efforts around the world and the Alliance is eager to hear from groups that want to become involved in this project.

Switch is best-selling new console in Nintendo's history
Nintendo's new Switch handheld-console hybrid outsold even the Wii at launch, with Zelda being the best-selling standalone launch game ever
By: Derek Strickland | Gaming News | Posted: Mar 8, 2017 2:20 am
Nintendo's new Switch handheld-console hybrid system has smashed sales records, and has even outsold Nintendo's coveted Wii at launch.
Nintendo's gambit has paid off in dividends: the Switch's first two-day launch sales in the Americas (North America and South America) exceeded any other console in Nintendo's history, including the company's superstar Wii. That's according to New York Times reporter Nick Wingfield, who talked shop with Nintendo America President Reggie Fils-Aime in an unpublished interview.
While Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime didn't provide exact numbers, sold out retailers all across the world echo the console's success. The extreme demand and well reception from critics triggered a meteoric rise of Nintendo shares, and the company has been enjoying a consistent upward climb since the system's launch on March 3. The Switch's main system-seller, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, now holds the mantle as the top-selling standalone launch title: in fact, Breath of the Wild even outsold Super Mario 64 at launch.
According to Wall Street Journal's Takashi Mochizuki, Japanese games magazine Famitsu reports Nintendo Switch sold 330,637 units during the March 3-4 launch day weekend. We still don't have concrete global figures, but we'll be sure to update you when more information comes to light.
Read Also: Nintendo Switch first impressions
Remember that Nintendo intends to sell 2 million Nintendo Switch consoles in a single month. This is no mistake: the company wants to recoup as much operational cashflow and revenue by the end of its current Fiscal Year 2017 cycle, which cuts off on March 31, 2017.
Based on this trajectory and depending on how much stock the company currently has, I'd say that Nintendo will easily sell 2 million units in March.
The Nintendo Switch is now available, but it'll be quite hard to find due to limited stock. We'll be sure to rock out more first-hand impressions and content on the Switch in the coming days, including our feature-length review.
