Gorgeous spring time in Portugal. We were visiting our friends Fernanda and Amandio in the countryside and their little field outside the village. Here they had planted sweet potatoes and other vegetables, chickens strutted around cackling loudly. We ate lunch together in the outdoor kitchen.
"Do you also have rabbits?" I asked Amandio. "Quite a few, how about I show you?" Bordering the back wall of the building was a large enclosure with about three dozen rabbits with brown-beige-gray fur. "You can paint all of them!" suggested Amandio mischievously - "All of them? No, for goodness sake, one would be enough for me". "Well, then try your luck," he said, amused.
A few days later I was sitting in front of the enclosure, viewed with suspicion by all the rabbits. Not one animal was stirring - on the contrary: they were frozen. I chose a pretty small one near the fence as a model and began to paint his eyes. But all too quickly the herd had become used to my presence - and were moving again: stretching, fidgeting, hopping, hobbling, scuttling and jumping. The little one I was painting was suddenly up and away, nibbling on apples corners and it finally disappeared into the crowd - never to return. What to do? Necessity is the mother of invention. I changed the strategy I had just decided upon and simply did all the rabbits, who came before my brush, and added them to my models. From this one the ears, from that one the little mouth, from the third one the body shape, from the fourth the tufty tail, from one the coat, from the other its paws - and in the end many rabbits made up my little bunny.

Sample Selection Tutorial
=========================

Select Main Sample Galaxies
---------------------------

To select the Main Sample galaxies (Primary + Secondary + Color Enhanced samples), we can use the MaNGA DRPall summary file.  You can use the ``get_drpall_table`` utility to load the full DRPall table.  By default this will load the DRPall file for the current release set in Marvin.

Let's open the DRPall file:

.. code-block:: python

    from marvin.utils.general import get_drpall_table
    data = get_drpall_table()

The Main Sample consists of the Primary, Secondary, and Color-Enhanced Samples, which correspond to `MNGTARG1 <http://www.sdss.org/dr13/algorithms/bitmasks/#MANGA_TARGET1>`_ bits 10, 11, and 12, respectively.

.. code-block:: python

    import numpy as np
    primary        = data['mngtarg1'] & 2**10
    secondary      = data['mngtarg1'] & 2**11
    color_enhanced = data['mngtarg1'] & 2**12

    main_sample = np.logical_or.reduce((primary, secondary, color_enhanced))

    plateifus = data['plateifu'][main_sample]

Now we can use the :func:`~marvin.utils.general.general.downloadList` function to download all of the files of type ``map`` (other valid ``dltypes``: ``map``, ``image``, ``rss``, ``mastar``, ``default``, or ``plate``).

.. code-block:: python

    from marvin.utils.general.general import downloadList
    downloadList(plateifus, dltype='map')

Auguste-Henri Berthoud (auch Auguste-Henry, * 20. April 1829 in Paris; † 13. März 1887 in Neuenburg NE) war ein Schweizer Landschaftsmaler der Schule von Barbizon.

Berthoud studierte Malerei in Paris in den Ateliers von Ary Scheffer und Eugène Lepoittevin. Er wurde Schüler und Freund von Camille Corot. In der Künstlerkolonie Barbizon arbeitete Berthoud mit Théodore Rousseau, Charles-François Daubigny, Narcisso Virgilio Diaz de la Peña und Constant Troyon zusammen. Seine Landschaftsbilder zeigten die Stilmerkmale der Barbizon-Schule der Freilichtmalerei. Er besuchte mehrmals die Normandie und die Bretagne.

1852 übersiedelte Berthoud nach Lausanne, wo ihn Camille Corot zuweilen besuchte. Unter dem Einfluss von Albert de Meuron wandte er sich 1856 den alpinen Landschaften des Berner Oberlandes  zu. Er verbrachte 14 Jahre in Interlaken, wo er die Gipfel der Region malte. 1874 liess er sich in Colombier NE und Neuenburg nieder. Zweimal verbrachte er die Wintermonate in Arles. In seinen letzten Lebensjahren beschäftigte er sich auch mit der Genre- und Historienmalerei.

Auguste-Henri Berthoud war Vater und erster Lehrer der Malerin Blanche Berthoud.

On Easter Monday 2006 the weather was rather iffy so I set myself a modest climb; the ascent of Silver How, from Grasmere.
The road become enclosed within drystone walls.
The top of this track comes out at a junction of walls and gates, and from here on there's a grassy track up to the ridge.
The path is still quite steep here. It accompanies another drystone wall.
The path arrives at an area in which juniper and gorse grow in profusion. The vegetation provides some shelter if the day is windy, and this area therefore makes a good refreshment stop.
The views are starting to become interesting. There's part of Grasmere below, backed by Heron Pike and Nab Scar.
The path approaches a picturesque mini-ravine. Looking southwestwards Grasmere lake is backed by Loughrigg.
The path dips into and crosses the ravine, an interesting couple of minutes.
It's countless little treasures like this that make Lakeland such a marvellous place to visit and explore.
A track leads up the rough grass slopes to the top of Silver How, now only a few minutes away.
The scene to the west. Bowfell (centre) still carries some snow; the Langdale Pikes (Pike O' Stickle and Harrison Stickle) stand to the right.
A dramatic skyline; Bowfell, the Pikes and Pavey Ark.
Panning around to the southwest we see Pike O' Blisco, Crinkle Crags and Bowfell.
Looking southeastwards, and a glimpse of Windermere over the shoulder of Loughrigg.
One of Lakeland's loveliest spots; the twin lakes of Grasmere (mearest) and Rydal Water.
Grasmere village, backed by Stone Arthur, Grea Rigg and Fairfield. The path up to Grizedale Tarn leds into the hills towards the left of shot..
Loughrigg, sandwiched bwtween Rydal Water (left) and Windermere (right).
Silver How's summit cairn, backed by the Langdale Pikes (left) and Sergeant Man (right). Silver How is 1296 ft above sea level.
The classic view of Grasmere from the summit.
The ridge leading to Blea Rigg and Sergeant Man. A fine walk in good weather, but today was too windy and cold to attempt it.
A final shot of the summit cairn, with Rydal Water seen to the right. I wasted no time in getting back down into shelter, and had a bite of lunch among the junipers and gorse halfway back to the village.
Back at Grasmere. The sunshine was very fitful otherwise I'd have taken rather more pictures. Grasmere is one of England's loveliest villages.

Sean Gast Debuts New Track 'Party In The Hills'
Brad Washington
Hip Hop Culture | Hip Hop Arts and Lifestyle, Hip Hop Entertainment | Hip Hop TV, Film and Video Games, Hip Hop Music | Listen To and Download Hip Hop Tracks, News
R&B artist Sean Gast has slowly begun to make a name for himself on the urban music scene. Last year, Gast released a song with Rich the Kid titled "No Exxageration" while websites such as Revolt featured him as an artist to watch. Today, Gast is letting The Source.com viewers get an early glimpse of his newest single, "Party In The Hills."
Gast provides insight on the details of the song:
Party in the hills is more than the title … It's about a girl I knew in high school and how she's now off at college. She thinks she is a grown woman and has everything figured out. When in reality, I sometimes feel that the majority of the people I used to know who are in college have no clue what they're doing or what they want to do. Meanwhile not only do I know what I want to do, but I'm actually doing it.
SONG LYRIC QUOTE – "Grown now so you think you got it figured out, everyone else around me still trying to figure it out I'm not worried bout it cause I'm making figures know "
I try to paint the picture for listeners with how my reality is now and how a small taste of what I call the norm is "everything that you imagined."
The song's production was helmed by Cassius Clay. Clay's production credits feature French Montana, The Weeknd, Rich The Kid and Lil Wayne.
To check out Gast's new track, check it out below.

UN rights chief 'deeply concerned' over Jehovah's Witness sentencing in Russia
February 8, 2019 by United Nations Leave a Comment
UN Photo/Laura Jarriel Michelle Bachelet, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, speaks to the press at UN Headquarters in New York.
This article is brought to you in association with the United Nations.
The sentencing in Russia of a Danish Jehovah's Witness on Thursday to six years in prison on charges of "organising the activity of a banned extremist organisation" has been described as a "dangerous precedent" by the UN human rights chief.
Michelle Bachelet, High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), said that she was deeply concerned by the sentencing of Dennis Christensen, who was first detained in May 2017, a month after Russia's Supreme Court declared the Jehovah's Witnesses – a United States-headquartered Christian denomination – an extremist group.
According news reports, the group numbers around 170,000 followers in Russia, with around eight million adherents worldwide. They are known for proselytising their faith door-to-door, detailed bible study and among the rules of membership are a rejection of blood transfusions, however serious the medical need, an a refusal to take part in military service.
"Criminal cases have since then been opened against more than 100 members of the Jehovah's Witnesses, including at least 18 who are held in pre-trial detention," said Ms. Bachelet, in a statement. "Others have been subjected to various measures of restraint, including house arrest and travel restrictions", she added.Christensen was accused of continuing to organize and work on behalf of the Jehovah's Witnesses in the city of Oryol, several hundred miles south of Moscow, despite knowing that the group had been outlawed by the State.
The UN rights chief said that the "harsh sentence imposed on Christensen creates a dangerous precedent, and effectively criminalises the right to freedom of religion or belief, for Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia – in contravention of the State's obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights."
"Various UN human rights bodies, including the UN Human Rights Committee and a number of UN Special Rapporteurs, have raised similar concerns in recent years."
The Russian Supreme Court has ordered the Jehovah's Witnesses to disband nationwide, and his arrest and sentencing, sets a clear precedent for other adherents who are being held, and awaiting sentencing, according to news reports. Christiansen had pleaded his innocence, stating that he was exercising his freedom of religion, guaranteed under Russia's constitution.
"We urge the Government of Russia to revise the Federal Law on Combating Extremist Activity with a view to clarifying the vague and open-ended definition of 'extremist activity', and ensuring that the definition requires an element of violence or hatred", said Ms. Bachelet.
"We also call on the authorities to drop charges against and to release all those detained for exercising their rights to freedom of religion or belief, the freedom of opinion and expression, and the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association."

It's summer time and the market is full of lovely varieties of mangoes. This is the best thing about summer that you get to enjoy juicy, sweet, tasty mangoes.
Apart from great taste, mangoes are loaded with amazing health benefits. Health benefits of mangoes include helping to reduce the cholesterol, good source of vitamin C and Vitamin A.
Growing up I never got to eat this awesome dish, but ever since my marriage, this dish has been a staple at army parties! Our family is fond of souffle, so this time I planned to prepare this classic dish with mangoes at home. This amazing dish is enjoyed by both kids and adults. The recipe is very simple and you can quickly prepare delicious mango souffle in just 10 minutes.
Mango souffle is a traditional French dessert which is made using mango puree. This dessert is rich in taste with creamy texture. The traditional recipe calls for eggs, but today I will share an easy vegetarian version of this amazing dessert. It is a mouth-watering dessert that is sure to impress all your friends and relatives!
If you're using all natural ingredients like veg gelatin, less sugar and fresh mango pulp you're good! Avoid preserved mango pulp. If you do eat eggs, well that would have been a nice way to add more nutrients.
2 tablespoons of veg gelatin powder.
The first step is to take a large bowl to whip the cream and icing sugar well. Make use of an electric beater to beat it till it turns thick. Blend the roughly chopped mangoes into a puree by using the blender. You can also beat the mango pulp using the electric beater for 1-2 minutes.
Take 1/2 cup of hot water in a bowl and mix the gelatin powder very well. Now, add this mixture to the mango puree and beat it using an electric beater for 2-3 minutes. Make sure the gelatin powder is well incorporated into the mango puree. Add the beaten whipped cream and fold it gently into the mango puree and gelatin mixture using a spatula. Don't mix rigorously.
Take a glass bowl and pour equal quantities of the mixtures into the individual glass bowl and allow it to refrigerate for 2-4 hours or till the souffle is set perfectly. Once the souffle is set completely, gently de-mold it into a serving dish and garnish it with finely chopped dry fruits, mango slices, and fresh mint leaves. Enjoy!
You can also serve it with this homemade mango ice cream. Mango Souffle can become yummier when garnished with homemade Mango Jelly! Go wild and add a layer of Mango souffle to make Mango Falooda.

A scientific poll of the state's voters finds almost no support for the Gang of Eight's oversized amnesty bill in the way it rewards 11 million illegal aliens before any new enforcement to stop future illegal immigration.
Only 23% of likely voters in Kansas agree with the work-permits-first and enforcement-later approach of S. 744.
15% of voters were unsure of their opinion on this issue.
62% said they want "full enforcement" at the workplace and the border before even "considering" giving work permits to illegal aliens.


It's that time of year when the mere thought of opening the front door fills me with dread: the snot-freezing depths of winter.
So out come the winter accessories! In previous years, I've kept my hats, gloves, and mittens in a plastic drawer unit in my coat closet. The problem is that my coat closet is nowhere near the front door. As a result, I would end up piling hats and mittens on top of the Ikea butler next to entryway so they'd be in arm's reach whenever I wanted to pop out for a minute. Of course, it's hard to see what's above my head, which meant the top of the butler was perennially disorganized.
So I decided to repurpose a flimsy shoe organizer that I found on the curb this summer. The organizer has hook-and-loop closures at the top for hanging off a large closet rod.
Having no large closet rod near my front door, I wanted to be able to hang the organizer on the inside of my butler. Of course, I needed something by which to hang it. I chose grommets.
This is a grommet kit. The parts include (clockwise from top): mandrel, hole cutter, male half of grommet, female half of grommet (wow these grommet manufacturers are heterosexist), anvil. The anvil has a depression on one side to accommodate the grommet (shown); it's flat on the other side.
I hung the organizer on hooks that I'd installed on the inside wall of the butler, then filled the pockets with mittens, gloves, gaiters and other good stuff.
Oooh! It's so organized! And just high enough that Lilo won't be able to steal any of my mittens when she's hungry.

Taking proactive steps to protect a brand and organisation's reputation against risk should be an integral part of the strategic planning process. After all, if no strategic plan is complete without an assessment of financial, operational, security and legal risks, why would the absence of reputation risk assessment be OK?

*1 What is a consent agenda? At every board meeting, at least a few items come to the agenda that do not need any discussion or debate either because they are routine procedures or are already unanimous consent. A consent agenda (Roberts Rules of Order calls it a consent calendar) allows the board to approve all these items together without discussion or individual motions. Depending upon the organization, this can free up anywhere from a few minutes to a half hour for more substantial discussion..

BBC Radio 4 Interview with Furlonteer Co-Founder Sam and Furlonteer Yasemin
Shari Vahl, presenter of BBC Radio 4's You and Yours interviewed our Furlonteer Co-Founder Sam Tasker-Grindley and Furlonteer Yasemin Gumushan who has been supporting The Commonwealth Education Trust. Listen or read the interview and find out more about Furlonteer. Discover how we've been helping charities since we launched in April when the Government Job Retention Scheme began and millions of employees across the UK were furloughed.
Shari Vahl: Joining us on You and Yours, employees on furlough desperate to use their skills are being matched up with charities in need of those skills, in a unique volunteering group that now has about 5,000 people signed up.
Furlonteer, get it? Says it's a not for profit group aiming to keep some of the 9.5 million people placed on the government's job retention scheme busy and helping out charities and other not for profits in need of their expertise. The co-founder for Furlonteer is Sam Tasker-Grindley and a Furlonteer herself, Yasemin Gumushan from Leicester. Firstly Sam, how did you come up with this idea of Furlonteer, volunteering for these charities.
Sam Tasker-Grindley: Hi Shari, thanks for having us. It came up really because I was furloughed myself, I very quickly started to miss my routine, I lacked a purpose and I really wanted to make the most of this time that I had to give back to some charities and good causes and to sort of hone my skills a little bit more and then sort of on the flip side, you know charities and causes are really struggling at the moment.
I very quickly started to miss my routine, I lacked a purpose and I really wanted to make the most of this time.
They might have had to furlough their own staff themselves or are trying to find a different way of engaging with an audience, because they can no longer do their usual fundraising events or they don't have a man out on the street holding their bucket. And that seems like a nice match made in heaven really for both sides.
Shari Vahl: Yasemin were furloughed too and you're in Leicester which is also in lockdown. What's that been like for you?
Yasemin Gumushan: It's like really disappointing at the moment because I know everyone in Leicester's feeling the same, we just want to get back to normal, but I think it's really great to have Furlonteer because it channels what could have been negative energy into something really positive. So it's really great to be able to carry on helping even though you feel like you're in a tiny place in the world, which is still stuck in lockdown.
Shari Vahl: So, what are you doing?
Yasemin Gumushan: So I'm in partnership with The Commonwealth Education Trust, and it's really great because I think during the pandemic that people have realised how valuable teachers actually are. And the charity themselves invest in teachers in lower-income countries. So at the minute, I've been taking my skills because I work as a Communications Officer at Curve Theatre and I've been taking the skills about copywriting, e-marketing, social media strategy and been building them resources and content to improve their profile so that's been really great. And I've been able to practice my skills and develop as well and have a go at things I'd never usually would in my day-to-day role.
Shari Vahl: Well Sam, listening to what Yasemin is doing there has been some criticism in the newspapers and from freelancers from people who say, while this is all very lovely that you're doing all this volunteering while you're on furlough, you're actually you're taking away their paid work. What do you say to that?
Sam Tasker-Grindley: To be honest, I understand where they're coming from, everyone has been anxious through this about where their next job's coming in. What I will say to that, is that we are supporting small charities and good causes on the whole who wouldn't be able to afford to take on a freelancer.
Or during this time, they would be spending money on fulfilling their mission, helping the community. Yes, this is something that we've spoken about quite a lot and I do understand where the freelancers are coming from. But we've made it very clear from the start that we are supporting good causes who just wouldn't be paying for freelancers on the whole.
Shari Vahl: Yasemin, your furloughed, do you expect to go back to your job? Will your jobs still be there? And will you stop volunteering once you're back working?
Yasemin Gumushan: I hope I go back to my job! But, I think before I started volunteering, that I didn't realise in a way, you kind of do you make excuses that "I only have a couple of hours spare a week or whatever" not "what can I actually bring" but I've realised throughout Furlonteer you don't have to commit to 36 hours of work a week, you can log on when you feel like you have the time or you have the energy to do so. I think it's really important to remember that with volunteering you don't really realise how much of an impact you can have because I could do 2-3 hours a week, then 14 hours the next week, and that's hours they would have never had. And because of our skills and what other volunteers are bringing to the table, it can make a huge difference no matter how much time you have. So I hope to carry on volunteering because it's really shown to me the power of people.
Shari Vahl: Sam, do you think whilst it's called Furlonteer and obviously furlough will end fairly soon, do you see it has a future in a slightly different shape?
Sam Tasker-Grindley: It definitely does, so yes like you say we've got until October for this sort of free matching to continue.
What we would really like to do after that is work with some of the companies who have used the furlough scheme and we've already been speaking with these companies already about how they can do more in the community. A lot of these businesses already have volunteer days in their employee contracts which are never used.
Yasemin is a great example of how much you can do with just a little time. There's lots that we can do, we're looking for funding to continue with this and we'll be doing some crowdfunding. There's definitely a future with Furlonteer, it just won't look exactly as it does now.
Shari Vahl: Thank you both.
Furlonteers bring an average of 9 years experience, with a minimum of 1 year experience to an incredible 50 years at the upper end.
Sign up to become a Furlonteer or learn how we can help your cause.

If you're not worried about how hard you have to push, you can take an extra moment to make sure the cable is inserted all the way in the connector, that the connector is located properly in the dies, and you get your crimp exactly where you want it.
Crimps 8 thru 4/0 gauge cable.

If you've never had the pleasure of trying North Carolina's favorite sausage from Bass Farm, then do yourself a favor tonight. Head to your favorite supermarket and pick up a pack of ground sausage, patties or links in either mild or hot (we're partial to the extra spices in the hot variety) and give it a try. If it's not the best sausage you've ever tried, then you must be a vegetarian. Seriously. This is good stuff–always delivered fresh, never frozen, made and delivered daily in small batches from a 50 year old secret family recipe that hasn't changed in generations. This family business has a cult-like following and although the distribution is limited to central and eastern North Carolina, foodies stock up coolers full when they visit NC to take back home with them.
The recipe hasn't changed, the packaging hasn't changed, and the fans are fiercely loyal. When challenged to design an online website presence to reflect Bass Farm's traditional roots, Raleigh NC graphic design firm Killer Creative Group responded with a simple navigation, friendly conversational tone, and a decidedly 'low-tech' and weathered look. The website also features a handy interactive Sausage Recipes feature, where you can browse for a favorite meal idea, or submit your own. NC web hosting by Killer Hosting.
Our favorite (and a really easy) Bass Farm Sausage recipe? Simply substitute a package of hot ground sausage in place of ground turkey or beef in pasta sauce. SooOoo goood.


My book, French Vintage Decor, and some furniture projects from it have been featured in the winter 2018 edition of French Style magazine.
Congratulations Jamie! I'm so happy for you! I had never heard of French Style. Is it Canadian or American? It makes a big difference in subscription price. I now only receive Canadian magazines but will look for both French Style and Romantic Homes at the grocery store later today.
Hi Joanna, both magazines are American. I'm not sure where you live in Canada but I found French Style at my local Save-On Foods.
Congratulations, i get Romantic Homes and saw you, it was a beautiful lay-out.

Hito Steyerl: Bubble Vision
Welcome to Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series. Today, we present a provocateur whose work is known for illuminating the world's power structures, moving image artist Hito Steyerl. Today's program is brought to you through a special partnership with the Becoming Digital project and conference of the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. So a special welcome to any Taubman folks in the audience and any conference attendees. And for all the rest of you, a little word of explanation on Becoming Digital. Becoming Digital is a year long project that considers the deep changes that are underway in architecture and visual culture, caused by the increasing naturalization of digital technology. Over the course of this year, faculty and students at the Taubman College are debating, designing, and reflecting upon the current state of digital in architecture. The project includes workshops and invited practices that are critically engaged in digital technology through their work, a series of talks, an exhibition, and a conference, which is framed by three themes: Image/Data, Author/User, and Audience/Experience. Hito's talk here today, which addresses the conference themes, is actually the first keynote and the kickoff to the conference, which runs through February 3rd. So a hearty thank you to Becoming Digital and the Taubman College for partnering on this, and of course, to our regular series partner Michigan Radio 91.7 FM. I have two quick announcements for your today. We have an opening actually opening today, not an opening reception, but just a soft opening, is happening at the Institute for Humanities, of 72, which is an exhibition of mixed media work. Fabric with digital imagery, embroidery, rhinestones, considering the Tivoli excursion in Kingston, Jamaica. This work happens to be the work of Jamaican artist Ebony Patterson, who we will welcome here to the Penny Stamps stage next Thursday. So in the next week, you have the chance to go by and see the exhibition and see her work ahead of the talk. And if you don't, you can always join us next week; we will actually have a reception at the Institute following Ebony's talk here. While you're out and about looking at things in galleries, I highly recommend the Stamps Gallery, around the corner on Division. And it currently is exhibiting work of a Detroit native, Suzy Lake, now through February 25th. So you can take that in. Nicola's Books is in the lobby today with some books by Hito Steyerl. And we will have a Q&A today, our regular Q&A in the screening room. So directly following the talk here, please exit the theater, go left down the hall and meet us in the screening room, and you can ask Hito deep and probing questions. Please do remember to silence your phones. And now for a proper introduction of our guest, please welcome Assistant Professor of Architecture at Taubman College, principal of T+E+A+M, and co producer of Becoming Digital, Ellie Abrons. Hi, good evening. It's my privilege to introduce tonight's guest, Hito Steyerl. Hito is a filmmaker, a writer, a theorist, and a professor based in Berlin. Her work has been exhibited at the most prestigious art venues in the world, including the Venice Biennale, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. This year, she was granted the number one spot on ArtReview's Power 100 list, the first female artist to occupy such a position. A few of her many notable video and installation works include Factory of the Sun, which premiered in 2015 in the German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, and has since traveled the world; How Not to Be Seen: A Fucking Didactic Educational.MOV File; Hell Yeah We Fuck Die; and Liquidity Inc., currently on view at the ICA in Boston. Hito is a prolific writer and theorist whose published essays and recorded lectures are passed around via informal network of architects, designers, and friends with an almost religious fervor. Her essay, In Defense of the Poor Image, published in e flux journal in 2009, is part of contemporary architectural discourse's canon, an instant classic shaping conversations among architects and their students everywhere. And this year, Duty Free Art, which is on sale in the lobby, a book of Hito's collected essays, was published by Verso. These accolades aside, although they're impressive and important, Hito's presence here tonight is especially exciting to those of us at Taubman College who have been leading and participating in Becoming Digital. Tonight's lecture kicks off the Becoming Digital Conference, which continues next weekend with more lectures and panels. We cannot imagine a more fitting guest to launch the conference than Hito. If our ambition is to link the aesthetic and formal effects of the digital in our physical environment, with the social and political repercussions of changing systems of creative and technical production, Hito's work is an aspirational model. She operates within contemporary structures of image and media, to question those very structures and their underlying political and moral frameworks. Her work describes new subjectivities and paradigms of thought, made possible by her commitment to destabilizing power structures in politics, art, and society. Her work reveals the ways in which everything around us is constantly being surveyed and policed, from our faces to the ground beneath our feet. And yet, lest you despair at some dystopian view of the world, Hito offers us optimism and often humor. Her work is often described as disruptive, but this disruption always seems to be in the service of new relations between people, and deeper understandings of the world as it is, but also as we might want it to be. In her words, "Falling does not only mean falling apart, it can also mean a new certainty falling into place." Please join me in welcoming Hito Steyerl. Hello. Good evening. Thank you so much for the invitation, and thank you also for the very generous introduction. So as the introductions already stated, tonight I'm not going to talk about my work; instead, I prepared a talk about virtual reality. Why virtual reality? Because I don't know what it is. It's more or less emerging as we speak, but still, I had the feeling that it's about time we start thinking about this new visual paradigm, which I call Bubble Vision. So let me just say one word before I start because most of you don't know me, I'm not an academic. So this will not be an academic talk, I'm just warning you. So you shouldn't believe everything I say. But I have to say, to the best of my knowledge, everything I'm going to say is factual, yet the way things are combined may be a bit non traditional every now and then. This is just a disclaimer. Okay. Let me start with this painting. Actually, since a while ago, this is the most expensive painting of the world. It has been attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. It's called Salvator Mundi. It was painted around 1500, and fetched the record price of 450 million at auction. Recently, it was bought by a Saudi Prince, and is supposed to be on display at the Louvre Abu Dhabi in the near future. There's a lot of interesting aspects in that painting, but one of the most interesting ones for me was that, even though the painting was made around 1500, it was sold within a post war and contemporary art auction. Now there's people who say that's mainly because 80% of the painting were painted within the last 50 years. That's very debatable. I'm not an expert, I'm not going to interfere in this debate. But I suggest, nevertheless, that we definitely should treat it as a contemporary item, not necessarily because it has been made now, but because it has a special meaning today. So first of all, its price is very interesting, also doubts about its attribution. All of these make it a representative of an era that's racked by default fakeness, bubble markets, and financial speculation. But it also points at another aspect of contemporary visual technology, and I would suggest to look at the strange object which the Salvator Mundi holds in his hand, which is a crystal orb representing the world. And interestingly, these really look very similar to lenses of VR goggles. And this is what virtual reality and also 360 degree technology is defined through, basically by round lenses and spherical objects. And it's very interesting if you look at VR, for example, because one of the modes to travel from one scene to another in virtual reality, to teleport so to speak, is to click on a sphere. And I would like to show you a video, which is basically a demo which was released a couple of weeks ago by Mark Zuckerberg and his social VR chief, Rachel Franklin. They demoed the new VR platform, Facebook Spaces. And let me just try to scroll to that part. It's at 5:20. It's so tiny. Jesus. Can you read it? It's so tiny… 4:04. Sorry, 1:40. We have to go here. Yes, okay. So from here… The first place that we wanna go today is Puerto Rico, to check out this interesting 360 video that NPR took of what's going on down there. So let's go quickly, teleport there. Alright, so now we are in a 360 video, in Puerto Rico. And hold on a second… And you can kinda get a sense of what is… We're on a bridge here. It's flooded. You can get a sense of some of the damage here that the hurricanes have done. And one of the things that's really magical about virtual reality is you can get the feeling that you're really in a place. I probably should have mentioned this before, but Rachel and I actually aren't even, I think, in the same building, in the physical world. Totally different places. But it feels like we're in the same place, and we're making eye contact, we're talking to each other. Yeah. We can high five. Yeah, there you go, high five. So now this is… We're looking around, and it feels like we're really here in Puerto Rico, where it's… Yeah. It's obviously a tough place to get to now, and a lot of people are really suffering with the aftermath of the hurricanes. This is an area that Facebook is very focused on trying to help out in the recovery effort. When the hurricanes first hit… Okay. Basically, you see what I mean? They are using these spheres, they call them transport orbs, to basically hop all over the place from their company location in California to Puerto Rico. Later on, they will even teleport to the moon, and all the while they are doing it, they are exclaiming, "Crazy to feel like you're in the middle of it." So it's about… It's a feeling as if you actually inhabit a scene with your body. You are basically able to teleport into a certain reality, and to really experience it. This is the feeling that is being conveyed by this demo video. Let's put it like this. So the interesting thing is they will teleport off to the moon, but coming back to Salvator Mundi, we might also imagine that we actually clicked on that sphere, and inside, there was this Facebook scene where they again clicked another bubble, another orb, and then teleported to wherever they wanted to go. And in my view, this scene shows several things. Given the background they used, basically the devastation left by the hurricane in Puerto Rico, one thing is clear that, right now, the world might need one, or better, many Salvatores Mundi, Saviors of the World, in times of climate change and environmental, economical, and political instability. That's one thing. But also, it shows that one of the main characteristics of VR and 360 degree videos is something really paradoxical. Because in VR and also in 360 degree video, you're basically at the center of the scene. Everything revolves around you, like a spherical universe, yet at the same time, your body is usually missing from the scene. So you're both at the center, yet you are not there. Maybe if you're lucky, you will have hands or a head sometimes, but your body is usually missing from the scene. Bodies become nonexistent. They become transparent. So VR is basically where the nonexistent bumps into the ubiquitous. And this kind of vision, as I said, is shaped by orbs, by spheres, by rounded lenses. One could call it "Bubble Vision". So what's so interesting about bubbles nowadays? One could say that in the last decade, not only 360 degree visual panoramas become a common sight in photography, video, and virtual reality, but in parallel also so called filter bubbles on social media have been accused of nurturing division by creating parallel information universes. That's not, let's say, 100% confirmed according to research, but it can hardly be contested that bubbles as such have been an emblem of globalization. And they have figured a lot in art, but also of course in economy. So called "bubble economies" shaped cycle after cycle of boom and bust, affecting real estate, finance, of course, also, the art market of the early 21st century. I was really surprised to find this. This is an artwork by Jeff Koons, which prefigures the authentification of the Leonardo da Vinci Salvator Mundi painting. This is a montage by Jeff Koons, which montages a Mona Lisa with what he calls "a gazing ball," more or less an opportunity for people to see their own selfie within a painting. And there's also very serious artworks which deal with bubbles. This is an artwork called In the Air by Teresa Margolles, which creates soap bubbles, which are made with the water used to wash corpses in morgues in Mexico City. But all the bubbles that burst in recent decades didn't just vanish, but instead, I think, persisted. They exploded into a multitude of smaller bubbles. This here is something quite different. These are also bubbles, these are small air bubbles enclosed in what one could call "ancient ice." The drilling of ice cores is part of planet science. People drill into the Arctic ice to extract cores, to establish some kind of archaeology of the human climate. Because inside the ice, these ice bubbles contain atmospheres which may be centuries old. And in two of these ice cores, two scientists called Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin discovered some very, very intriguing effect. They found out that the biggest dip in carbon dioxide over the past 2,000 years was actually man made, and it occurred already around 1610. And the theory they developed is called the "Orb hypothesis." The orb again for the globe, for the world. And they propose 1610 as the starting point of the so called "Anthropocene". You see this strong dip, which is happening around 1610, this is where carbon dioxide, as evidenced through those little bubbles enclosed in the ice cores, suddenly dips. So they suggest to name this, or to call this, to define this as the beginning of the so called "Anthropocene". What is this? A newly named geological era in which humans shape nature to a considerable degree. Meaning, they start controlling nature, and shaping it the way they want to. But around the same time, bubbles also become a popular trope in the so called "Golden Age of Dutch painting". So at that time, you see a lot of paintings which contain glass bubbles, soap bubbles, but also skulls. They appear within a genre called "Vanitas". And Vanitas loosely means, the meaninglessness of earthly life, the transient nature of vanity. And this genre coincides with a period of political instability, religious division, also famine, for example, and a 80 year war of independence. And at the same time, post colonialism fuels, so to speak, the emerging world trade; and at the same time, this also gives incentives for the creation of art. It fuels the art market. Vanitas paintings become attractive to a newly empowered merchant class. So there are more and more luxury properties, many of them tied of course to Dutch colonial plunder, but also trade, find their ways into the paintings, including colonial servants, and there are the bubbles again. At the same time, it is very cold also in the Netherlands. And this is, as the climate scientists argue, this is not a coincidence. The so called "Little Ice Age" may have been man made, and that's what this dip in carbon dioxide suggests. Maslin and Lewis interpret this dip in temperature as a direct consequence of the colonial invasion of the Americas because they estimate that through this invasion, around 50 million original inhabitants were killed, mostly through disease, or through other consequences of colonialization. And these 50 million people were missing, and in the places they were living, slowly the vegetation grew back, and of course, captured and sequestered a lot of carbon dioxide. And both Lewis and Maslin suggest to define this dip around 1610 as the beginning of the Anthropocene, because it's the first time that man made activity, according to them… There's also several, many, many, other opinions to that topic. According to them, this is the beginning of the era where man, humans, become central in shaping their own environment. In this era, man is supposed to be at the center of nature. Just as we are users, are at the center of their 360 degree spheres. But in both cases, the human at the center may actually be missing. Jaron Lanier, he's a person who invented some of the first virtual reality equipment, I think already back in the '90s. He wrote recently that virtual reality is best thought of as the removal of a single human shaped mass from the fabric of the universe. I think that's a really fascinating idea. So you have the whole universe, and you basically eliminate one human from it, and this is virtual reality. To build a universe in virtual reality, you need to mentally basically eliminate one single person from her surroundings, which means that this whole, our universe actually consists of people shaped holes within bubbles. Of course, these kind of crystal orbs also have different usages. As crystal balls, for example, they are very popular objects or tools for prediction, magical prediction. In this case, whoever has seen the series knows that this doesn't work very well at all. These guys are trying to figure out, "What am I seeing in this sphere?" and they think that the only thing that they could predict from this sphere is a foggy evening. And so this is a very unreliable magic art in the Harry Potter series. But surprisingly, in the real world, people are much more confident about crystal balls. Some of these people you may know, the other ones is the Egyptian President el Sisi, King Salman of Saudi Arabia. And to other people, they are opening an anti extremist center in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, and thus they highlight the use of crystal ball style prediction in anti terror activities. This is actually a so called "Palantir," another form of crystal ball. It's actually a fictional item from The Lord of the Rings. And in this book, a Palantir is a so called "seeing stone," where you can see things happening far away. But Palantir is also the name of one of the most important data analysis startups, which specializes in financial and security based data analysis, actually founded by Peter Thiel. A Guardian report claims that Palantir, using the most sophisticated data mining, can predict the future seconds or years before it happens. The interesting thing about such statements is that they are completely unverifiable, but okay. So what I'm trying to get at is that today's crystal balls stand in for data based prediction. Predictive analysis means to manage risk, and if possible, also preempt risk. And I would like to tap into this palantir, and teleport again into a fictional story. If you remember, there's this very famous franchise consisting of animation films, but also recently of Hollywood films, which it's called "Ghost in the Shell". Ghost in the Shell is a fictional narrative which is centered around a woman who is a cyborg. And she's a police cyborg, very successful one too. But it turns out that, actually, she used to be a sort of anti corporate militant who was preemptively killed and disappeared because she was trying to prevent the transformation of humankind into cyborgs. She was an anti augmentation activist. And what happened? She got killed, and turned into a cyborg. So it's very interesting because this franchise, in this franchise, in this story, Ghost in the Shell, the ghosts of the Anthropocene, the missing and the disappeared end up as rogue AIs and as cyborgs. In other words, in this tale, to be eliminated, at the same time, means to be automated. But to be automated also means to be eliminated. This is about architecture. This is an Amazon warehouse, which is automated to a quite considerable degree, populated by robots, but also workers and conveyor belts. Many people work there under quite questionable conditions. One reporter, which inserted himself into such kind of warehouse in the UK, called his report, his own story of how he became a human robot. And he talks to a worker who says, "I expected it to be all modern and powered by robots in here, but now I understand why are we not allowed to sit when it's quiet. We are human beings, not slaves." This is, so to speak, the other side of Amazon architecture. This is a rendering of the new headquarters of this company in Seattle. These are buildings called "biospheres". You see, it's a geodesic dome kind of architecture. And this is a quote from a newspaper. When they open this year, I think they are about to open now, they will host more than 300 plant species from around the world, creating what the company sees as the workplace of the future. Amazonians will be able to break from their daily labors to walk in the forest and climb into little nests and so on, where they could brainstorm and have meetings and perhaps even invent the next billion dollar opportunity. Of course, this building, like all Amazon buildings, into this building, only employees and those badged will be allowed in. Soon there will be, of course, gift shops by the entrance that will be open to the public. So I'm really fascinated by this juxtaposition of the two types of Amazon buildings because it seems to me, that in this paradigm of what I call, definitely, in the case of the biosphere, "bubble architecture," the setting, which I described earlier of the Anthropocene, has become inverted. If, as you know the climate scientists argue, if the Anthropocene really started off with people missing in an Amazonian landscape, which was deserted and basically cleansed of human life, now the situation has somehow become reversed. And the Amazonian forest has become inserted into a bubble and preserved as a corporate headquarter, as a biosphere, which is isolated from natural environments. An example of bubble architecture, there's an interesting precedent for this kind of architecture, which is the famous experiment, Biosphere 2, which ran from 1991 to 1994. And in this experiment, two subsequent sets of, I think probably one could call them scientists, were locked into a greenhouse sphere in Arizona for several months. And they had to be completely self sustaining, including not only the production of food, but also their own atmosphere. They had to produce their own sustainable atmosphere. And interestingly, this was thought of as a test for space colonization. Would people be able to live on Mars? Would they be able to produce oxygen? Would they get along with one another? Would they be able to produce food? And the answer is no, it didn't happen. The oxygen really, really dropped to very dangerous levels. The climate was quite toxic. Most mammals went extinct. Pollinating insects were wiped out. The crew fell apart into two hostile factions. And the only other species that turned out to be perfectly adapted to the oligarch space colony were cockroaches and ants. They thrived. They loved it in there. For them, it was a ball. For humans, not so much. So you probably know by now, because this is a very well known story, that the manager of this project was the former advisor to the US president, Steven Bannon, whose management style prompted some kind of uprising. At a certain point, he staged some kind of armed takeover of the premises because they weren't making enough profit. But the much more interesting thing, I think, that happened during that period is a much less well known consequence, namely, that apparently, reality as a format was invented as a consequence of the biosphere experiments. There was a producer in Holland called John de Mol, who watched a satellite basically broadcast from within the biosphere. And then he came up with the idea to the format, Big Brother, which means that actually, reality TV as a sort of narrative template seems also to have been bred inside the biosphere. And this narrative template is really interesting because it's based on an artificial idea of natural selection, whereby the fittest, however this is defined, they survive or progress. And the biospheres are such… Are a perfect example of real life filter bubbles. Reality TV was basically designed within an environment of isolating people in survivalist environments. And in these environments, one could say that extinction was staged as a spectacle. And very interestingly, this comes very close to the initial meaning of the term "virtual reality" because many people think that this term was coined at a certain point in the '90s. But this is not the case. This term was already coined in 1938 by a very unlikely person, namely the playwright Antonin Artaud, a French theater author. And he developed it in the context of what he called a "theatre of cruelty". What is the theatre of cruelty? It was, in Artaud's view, something which was a practice which, and this is a quote, wakes up nerves and hearts, through which people experience immediate, violent action, something that inspires through fiery magnetism, and so on and so on. So he wanted to create a stage where overwhelming sounds and bright lights would stun and shock the audience sensibilities, and completely immerse them in theatrical experience. And this is what he called a "theatre of cruelty". And he defined that cruelty. He said this was not basic human cruelty in the sense of people trying to hurt one another, this was a sort of sensual cruelty; and he very precisely named it as the cruelty which things can exercise against us. This today, the Amazon warehouse, is this a contemporary theatre of cruelty, where things create a chaotic cacophony? Of course, to link back to what I said earlier, the machines that are replacing humans in this warehouse and elsewhere are not literally the ghosts of disappeared people, like in the story Ghost in the Shell. But maybe they prove something else. Maybe they prove that something else is disappearing, namely, the idea of the Anthropocene. The Anthropocene, you remember, I told you a minute ago, this is the idea that we live in a geological area where humans are more or less in control of their surroundings and shaping them at their will. So why should I say now, it's over already? But I think at the same moment that humans became aware that they were supposedly all powerful and at the center of the universe, they are already busy trying to deflect that power and hand it over to opaque, automated procedures, to black box algorithms, to all sorts of machine intelligence, crystal ball gazing. People are handing over this power to systems, which are just as invisible as the famous invisible hand. This bubble vision, this 360 degrees spherical vision, is this a training scheme to adapt humans to a world from which they are increasingly missing because they are being replaced by invisible systems? Are people rehearsing basically how to be their own ghosts? But there is another possibility of interpreting bubble vision. Basically, if you look at this sphere of 360 degree technologies and VR, and see it as a crystal ball itself, the whole setup, what are you going to see? Does it predict a future in which humans are still at the center, yet not existent, either because humans have been automated, eliminated, or in trouble because of another man made carbon dioxide crisis? At the end, I would like to teleport back to Leonardo and his orb. So what are we seeing in that orb at the end? Is there anything one could learn from looking into that crystal sphere? And there is one very interesting mystery in this orb because, as many art historians have pointed out, Leonardo painted the sphere in a physically incorrect way. If it really was a crystal orb, then the interior of the orb would be represented upside down or, at least, severely distorted. In no way would the lines of the dress behind the orb be uninterrupted. And this is a real mystery because Leonardo was the person that probably knew most about optics of that period. He, even at that point in time, invented the… Or gave the technological foundations for inventing, how do you call it? Contact lenses. So why would Leonardo paint the orb in such a way? And art historians actually have no answer for this, they don't know. Some of them say, "Oh, he didn't want to destroy the composition." Others say it's a spiritual painting, so he wanted to paint something supernatural. That's also possible. But what is it? And this is not a question I think I can answer, or anyone can answer. Maybe you can answer, and you can tell me later in the Q&A. So what is this orb? And I think there's at least two possibilities, and I will leave you with these two possibilities. The first possibility is that you see nothing in the crystal ball. This is what you see basically, that there is nothing to see, not even your own reflection, which basically, you should see optically. But the other possibility is that Leonardo really meant to show that, whatever seems natural within this kind of spherical vision, and this seems like a, let's say, obvious or not very surprising representation, may not be factual. Just because it seems convincing, it doesn't mean that it's a fact. Okay. Thank you.

Filled with anecdotes and fascinating information, "a spicy read indeed." (Mark Pendergrast, author of Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How it Transformed the World)
The perfect companion to Mark Kurlansky's Salt: A World His
tory, Pepper illuminates the rich history of pepper for a popular audience. Vivid and entertaining, it describes the part pepper played in bringing the Europeans, and later the Americans, to Asia and details the fascinating encounters they had there. As Mark Pendergrast, author of Uncommon Grounds, said, "After reading Marjorie Shaffer's Pepper, you'll reconsider the significance of that grinder or shaker on your dining room table. The pursuit of this wizened berry with the bite changed history in ways you've never dreamed, involving extraordinary voyages, international trade, exotic locales, exploitation, brutality, disease, extinctions, and rebellions, and featuring a set of remarkable characters."
From the abundance of wildlife on the islands of the Indian Ocean, which the Europeans used as stepping stones to India and the East Indies, to colorful accounts of the sultan of Banda Aceh entertaining his European visitors with great banquets and elephant fights, this fascinating book reveals the often surprising story behind one of mankind's most common spices.

—Naomi Duguid, writer and traveler; her most recent book is BURMA: Rivers of Flavor (Artisan 2012)
"This is the book I've been hoping Matthew would write: smart, opinionated, and wickedly funny, crammed with in-the-know tips and observations about visiting Tokyo. From the intricacies of garbage sorting to the chirpy jingle for the local supermarket, the pleasures of pan-fried soup dumplings to the pain of junsai, I laughed, cringed, and got so hungry that I had to eat three bowls of cereal to make it to the end. I love this book."

Coffee is something more than a beverage. It is one of the world's greatest adjuvant foods. There are other auxiliary foods, but none that excels it for palatability and comforting effects, the psychology of which is to be found in its unique flavor and aroma.
Men and women drink coffee because it adds to their sense of well-being. It not only smells good and tastes good to all mankind, heathen or civilized, but all respond to its wonderful stimulating properties. The chief factors in coffee goodness are the caffeine content and the caffeol. Caffeine supplies the principal stimulant. It increases the capacity for muscular and mental work without harmful reaction. The caffeol supplies the flavor and the aroma—that indescribable Oriental fragrance that wooes us through the nostrils, forming one of the principal elements that make up the lure of coffee. There are several other constituents, including certain innocuous so-called caffeinated acids, that, in combination with the caffeol, give the beverage its rare gustatory appeal.

Clarkson Potter Ritz and Escoffier: The Hotelier, The Chef, and the Rise of the Leisure Class
In a tale replete with scandal and opulence, Luke Barr, author of the New York Times bestselling Provence, 1970, transports readers to turn-of-the-century London and Paris to discover how celebrated hotelier César Ritz and famed chef Auguste Escoffie
r joined forces at the Savoy Hotel to spawn the modern luxury hotel and restaurant, where women and American Jews mingled with British high society, signaling a new social order and the rise of the middle class.
In early August 1889, César Ritz, a Swiss hotelier highly regarded for his exquisite taste, found himself at the Savoy Hotel in London. He had come at the request of Richard D'Oyly Carte, the financier of Gilbert & Sullivan's comic operas, who had modernized theater and was now looking to create the world's best hotel. D'Oyly Carte soon seduced Ritz to move to London with his team, which included Auguste Escoffier, the chef de cuisine known for his elevated, original dishes. The result was a hotel and restaurant like no one had ever experienced, run in often mysterious and always extravagant ways--which created quite a scandal once exposed.
Barr deftly re-creates the thrilling Belle Epoque era just before World War I, when British aristocracy was at its peak, women began dining out unaccompanied by men, and American nouveaux riches and gauche industrialists convened in London to show off their wealth. In their collaboration at the still celebrated Savoy Hotel, where they welcomed loyal and sometimes salacious clients, such as Oscar Wilde and Sarah Bernhardt, Escoffier created the modern kitchen brigade and codified French cuisine for the ages in his seminal Le Guide culinaire, which remains in print today, and Ritz, whose name continues to grace the finest hotels across the world, created the world's first luxury hotel. The pair also ruffled more than a few feathers in the process. Fine dining would never be the same--or more intriguing.
