central saint martins threw the ultimate school disco for fashion week
The institution's unorthodox fashion presentation was a revival of the spirit of Soho's legendary Limelight club.
Central Saint Martins' Granary Building. Fourth floor. The MA Fashion workroom. Designer Edwin Mohney is on all-fours trying to fit an inflatable paddling pool back into its box. It's the final morning of London Fashion Week, and a few days prior, 19 members of the MA Class of 2018 presented their collections to the press, marching everything from a technicoloured mirror jumpsuit to an indeterminable giant buttplug-slash-dummy-slash-condom down the catwalk.
But this morning, there's a few loose stitches to fix and a slightly odious smell of beer in the air. After that group of graduates presented their garments to the press, they joined their peers at Soho's Welsh Chapel to stage an unorthodox celebration of the entire year's work. In honour of their talents, CSM's MA fashion team had transformed the sacred former nightclub into the fashionable disco it used to be; a space to flaunt their collections once more.
In the mid-80s, you could wander into The Welsh Chapel -- formerly known as the Limelight -- and see club kids Boy George or Leigh Bowery on the dancefloor. Since then, Soho has transformed. What was once a breeding ground for performance art crowds is now a hotbed of Caffè Nero and Pret A Manger; creators, clubbers and designers priced out of a space they played a pivotal part in forming.
But with the help of the MA Fashion course director Fabio Piras, that dangerous and proud creative spirit was restored to the venue. The chapel lights were dimmed, DJ decks wheeled in and a mirrored dance floor was erected in its centre. For a weekend, it almost became the Limelight again, and this year's most exciting fashion graduates were its beguiling centerpiece.
The event, taking place over two days and split into five 90 minute showcases, saw 46 designers graduating from the Menswear, Womenswear, Knitwear and Fashion Textiles strands have their starmaking moment. Away from the formal constraints of time and room to move on the catwalk, models disguised as clubgoers donned the year's work. They were free to loosen up and dance for as long as they could, thanks to DJ sets from figures like queer club staple Larry B and fashion's it-boy of the moment Matty Bovan. With their musical lure on the setlist, the afternoon slots transformed the space into a throbbing Italo disco.
Taking the reins from the student themselves, who were working to the bone to wrap up their collections in time for their deadlines, Fabio enlisted set designer Simon Vincenzi to re-create the legendary spirit of the Limelight, with curator Alistair O'Neill lending a hand too.
Each model held a number that corresponded to an item in an auction-style catalogue created by zine queen Reba Maybury, meaning the collections could intertwine throughout each show, occupying whatever space felt most natural. Fabio found it fascinating, he tells me, to see "an inflatable paddling pool and a very classic coat next to each other".
"It was all about creating that situation, an absurd club," he adds. "Everybody could come in, look at the clothes and have a dance too!"
The group were keen to challenge the format of the catwalk, and create a more inclusive presentation of the year's work. "Everyone really deserved a place together," Edwin stresses, sitting in a semi-circle of constantly shifting students, half weighing in on the conversation while running off momentarily to attend to their collections.
"It's been an incredibly strong year group. I could feel that, even from first year, " Rebecca Jeffs adds. Her MA work, which delved into the construction of feminine ideals and the way we impart gender onto inanimate objects, won her one of L'Oreal's Professional Creative Awards after the catwalk show. Plus, there was the added pressure of there being so many of them graduating in 2018. "We always knew that there were going to be loads [of student's work] that wouldn't get shown, so we had to make sure that they got to shine, too."
At CSM, which carries a reputation for birthing fashion icons like Galliano, Philo and McQueen, there's an expectation for its students to lead the cultural conversation and toy with new ideas. But for them to pioneer this somewhat challenging presentation format, the collections themselves needed to be some of the most provocative and inspired work the school's students had produced. I ask the group if there's any trait that ties them together; Liam Johnson offers one: "Everybody here is just really, really intense!"
Fabio has the more logical answer. "Last year, there was an enormous amount of applicants and we got a bit greedy," he admits. "We took on a lot of students, and so the editing of the show had to be harsh. It wasn't a case of anybody's collections being unfinished or not up to scratch. We just felt all of these students deserved another platform to show off their work."
While presentations have a reputation for being stiff and lifeless, Fabio's concept considered the idea of what might happen when motion met these dramatic collections. With press and guests now given the opportunity to see the pieces up close, there simply wasn't room for last minute, temporary stitches.
The democratised aspect of Fabio's show allowed the students to jump in and offer helping hands and becoming models for their friends. "The diversity that we have within our student body -- of culture, age, ideas, inspirations -- all mixed together in a club environment … it felt like a social commentary," Mel Ashley, the school's Fashion Liaisons officer reminisces. "For once it wasn't formal, it felt interactive."
As the Saturday night drew to a close, the party animals pushed through. The designers left standing, fatigued by the pressure of getting their clothes out there in such a high octane setting, were finally allowed to lower their guard and have fun. "At that point, all of us were wearing our own stuff," James Nolan laughs, looking back on the evening he spent dressed in his angular, almost animal-print taffeta and calico creations. "You couldn't tell who were the models and who were the designers! It merged into one madness!"
Back when London was a freer city, before the burden of gentrification had taken hold, it seemed like a much more exciting place to go out. While those fashion students who frequented the Limelight back in its heyday might have found inspiration in its campy, disco-ball beauty, today's graduates barely have the time -- or money -- to go clubbing. "We go to the pub!" Carmen Chan, one of the MA students laughs. "I guess we don't have much time to go out out anymore."
"It's cheaper to stay in the house and just, fuckin', get a crate of cans and get pissed up, instead of going out and spending a fiver on a drink!" Liam chimes in. "We have these parties at our own places where we just invite our friends over and get loose together."
The changing face of London as a city has shaped its new fashion generation in surprising ways. Instead of getting staler, their work seems invigorated by the environments they're forced to imagine rather than encounter face-on. Many, as this season showed us, tread the fine line between art and garment, like a loud and proud fuck-you to the looming demand for commerciality.
After months of creating these pieces, Fabio Piras' decision to bring his star pupils back to London's art and fashion heyday couldn't feel more appropriate. They say these things happen in 20 year cycles. Perhaps two decades down the line, a Central Saint Martins' fashion student will bring a new blow-up rubber creation to the Welsh Chapel dancefloor, and we'll remember, once again, this fateful moment that reignited it all.

Q: How do I create an array from a looping val? I have this partial piece of code that compares all text in a contenteditable div called #notes from an array created from a text document called dictionary.txt.
It loops through all the split text from #notes called splitCntEditableTxt and checks whether it matches. if matched, it creates a new span with the matched value in it.
Now, I want to create a new array by using all the matched val from the loop. So any ideas of creating that array from a loop? Here's the partial code. Thank again~!!!
$('#lattePool').load('dictionary.txt', function(){
    var text = $("#lattePool").text().toUpperCase();
    var words = text.split("\n");
    var dictionary = new Array();
    for(var i=0; i < words.length; i++) {
        dictionary[i] = words[i];
    };

    var contentEditableTxt = $("#notes").text();
    var splitCntEditableTxt = contentEditableTxt.replace(/([.,-=/])/g," ").split(" ");

    //alert(splitCntEditableTxt); //DEBUG

    $.each(splitCntEditableTxt,function(key,val){
        var nameFound = $.inArray(val.trim().toUpperCase(), dictionary);
        if (nameFound === -1){
        } else {
            $("#notes").append(''+val+'');
        }
    });
});

A: Initialize an array outside of $.each and then append to that array in your loop. It's a problem of scope more than anything.
If you don't know how to do what I suggested, let me know but you'll learn more if you work it out for yourself.

A: *

*Declare a blank array before the above code

var vals_array = [];

*Push the 'val' every time it is found into that array. Change your else statement as this:

else {
    $("#notes").append(''+val+'');
    vals_array.push(val);
}

*P.S.: Save yourself some space and change the if-else statement to this:

if (nameFound !== -1){
    $("#notes").append(''+val+'');
    vals_array.push(val);
}

Dr. Herb Ladley has been named chief medical officer for Ballad Health's Northwest Division. Ladley has a long tenure as a physician leader at Holston Valley Medical Center. As a cardiologist, he has served in various leadership roles for cardiovascular services as a senior physician, and he was system vice president for cardiovascular services for Wellmont Health System for eight years.
Dr. Daniel Lewis has been named chief medical officer for both campuses of Greeneville Community Hospital. Lewis is a board-certified family medicine physician with an additional certificate of added qualification in sports medicine.
Dr. Shari Rajoo has been named chief medical officer for population health services. Rajoo is a primary care physician, most recently serving as assistant vice president and medical director of population health for Ballad Health Medical Associates.
Ballad Health also announced the creation of The Innovation Center. "There is so much innovation going on within the walls of our hospitals and clinics," Levine said. "When we see these opportunities to help bring ideas to market, or to partner with other organizations that have made investments in improving the human condition, Ballad Health wants to be able to facilitate and help capitalize on those."

Wikipedia reliably informs me that this Rivoli beaded box is actually in the form of a shape called a 'Truncated Tetrahedron'. If that confuses you, then I will explain all in a minute. But first, let's get to the important things: what materials and techniques will you use?
You can check my beading supplies department for all these materials. But this project is actually a great 'stash-buster'. Depending on your choice of colouring, you can use up lots of leftover beads.
In my design, I used six different colours of Delicas. So, that cleared out a few leftover tubes from my stash. But you can also make this in a single colour. Or, try different colour combinations.
I have included information about my exact colouring. Plus, I've given you some ideas and help with how the colouring works. So, this information will help you to create your own colour scheme – or just follow mine!
The Rivoli beaded box is made with Peyote stitch. I used a tiny bit of basic RAW to create the bezels for my Rivolis. You can read more about the techniques here, if you don't know what they are. I also have free tutorials that you can download if you need some extra help.
I would count this as an intermediate level beaded box. Compared with some of my designs, this one is very straightforward. So, if you are growing your beaded box skills, this is a good project to try.
If you are already an experienced beader, you will be fine with this project, even if it is your first beaded box.
This design is one of the many ideas that evolved from my Santa beaded box pattern. When I created that design, I discovered a whole new way of making a box structure.
So, this pattern is a start at exploring that idea. It uses flat shapes to create the box structure. So, this brings more design possibilities. Instead of just thinking of a square, rectangle, pentagon or triangle, a beaded box can take on a whole range of geometric forms.
I have realised that this also opens up huge possibilities for making beaded boxes using shaped seed beads, clever patterning, and so on. So, you can expect to see me develop this concept even further.

Phish have to work pretty hard to surprise fans with their annual New Years Eve stunt. In years past, they've turned their stage into an aquarium, suspended themselves above arenas in a giant hot dog and appeared to shoot their drummer out of a cannon. But somehow, the band delivered as they rang in 2019.
In a pro-shot, nearly half-hour video from their Madison Square Garden set revealed the complex production of Phish's latest hi jinx. During the third set of the night, guitarist Trey Anastasio and bassist Mike Gordon took the stage in space suits. They played "Mercury," a jam that Phish.net calls "one of the most ambitious Phish songs debuted since the band returned in 2009– a multi-part composition with prog-rock influences…" The band brought the song's lyrics – "but the net's unbreakable / so don't worry about falling" – to life, with aerial acrobats dangling above them, doing synchronized moves as the band embarked on a spacey jam.
That jam was interrupted by a countdown and balloon drop, which led to the biggest surprise of the night: Gordon and Anastasio taking flight high above the Garden crowd as they played "Say it To Me S.A.N.T.O.S," a song the band debuted the song on Halloween as they played a special set as a fake Scandinavian band Kasvot Växt.
Gordon proved he had no problem with heights as he kicked and danced along to the song; A GoPro camera attached to his bass adds extra intimacy to the video.
Phish don't play as many shows as they used to, but the performance proved they are still as tight and imaginative as ever.

From the 10 to 13 October 2012 Lyon successfully hosted the 28th ECTRIMS conference, one of the largest neurology conferences in Europe.
For its 28th conference ECTRIMS brought together over 7,300 delegates from around the world in the Lyon Centre de congrès - a record! Among the visitors, there were delegates from 96 different countries, and of these the majority were from, in order of size, the United States, Germany and France. Once again, a strong indication of the attractiveness of Greater Lyon.
At the conference, Genzyme, a Sanofi Group business whose products and services concentrate on rare diseases and multiple sclerosis, presented the positive results from its Tower project, devoted to AUBAGIO®.
AUBAGIO 14 mg is the only oral MS therapy to significantly delay progression of disability across two phase III studies. "Slowing the progression of disability is a major goal in treating MS and remains a significant unmet need for many patients," said Ludwig Kappos, M.D., Chair of Neurology, University Hospital Basel, Switzerland, who presented the key TOWER results.
"The convenience of a once daily oral therapy offers a meaningful alternative for patients wanting to avoid the burden of regular injections", said David Meeker, M.D., President and CEO, Genzyme.
The ongoing AUBAGIO clinical development program, involving more than 5,000 patients in 36 countries, is among the largest of any MS therapy.
Marketing applications for AUBAGIO are currently under review by the EMA and other regulatory authorities.
"Lyon Welcome Attitude" was put in place in association with the Lyon Tourism Conference Office, the Conference centre and local partners (airport, trains, Sytral, hotels etc.).
These unique measures meant that delegates, 90% foreigners, received an exceptional welcome. The delegates also benefited from strengthened welcoming measures (signage, hostesses etc.) as well as easy access to the Conference centre (shuttle buses, free public transport tickets): all of this giving visitors a chance to explore Lyon and to come back.

This should be a simple operation, but it takes ages (tens of minutes) and I have to abort the operation every single time. I don't know whether the difficulty is due to the large size of the matrices (but this shouldn't be since the matrices are sparse in entries). Thanks in advance for any possible help !

A: Using Dot[] appears to be about a factor of 3 faster than Carl Wolls solution (although I doubt that the timing for such short times is precise)
   vlT = Transpose[VL]
   r1 = Flatten[
   VL.Flatten[
     VL.\[Theta]4.vlT, {{2}, {1}, {4}, {3}}].vlT, {{2}, {1}, {4}, {3}}];

The timings on my computer are 0.000207 for the Dot[] solution and 0.0006595 for Carl's. Both results agree. (I converted VL to a SparseArray[] as well.)

A: You can use TensorContract instead of Sum:
r = Activate @ TensorContract[
    Inactive[TensorProduct][VL, VL, VL, VL, θ4],
    {{2, 9}, {4, 10}, {6, 11}, {8, 12}}

Using Activate with Inactive is a tip from @jose.


Well it's confirmed. The takeover of medical specialty within the USA and different initial world nations is confirmed. massive drug company has finally created it to the destination. ought to pet house owners and their pets be happy regarding this take over? Well, i would not begin designing the party simply nonetheless as a result of consistent with several vets out there this is often not one thing to be happy regarding. What will this mean for pet welfare and natural pet health care?
Because of the large profits which will be generated through pets, these drug corporations for many years have spent abundant time and energy in AN aggressive campaign to rewrite vet faculty curricula, influencing veterinarians and indoctrination pet house owners into thinking their pets want medicine so as to thrive and be healthy. due to advertising funded by greedy uncaring drug corporations, most shoppers already show a cult like belief in pharmaceutical drugs. So, for giant drug company it had been simple to persuade pet house owners that their animals want a similar.
It is common observe these days for vets within the USA to observe chemical based mostly drugs on pets. in real time upon diagnosing, the pet owner is given a prescription of a rich proprietary pharmaceutical – a thus referred to as instant fix to be to their pet. If this is often not enough, the office has given approval for SIRS, a brilliant mind sterilization drug prescribed to dogs, similarly as several common medicine for individuals square measure currently being employed on pets. This includes therapy medicine for cancer treatment. aboard this, common pet ailments like inflammatory disease, diabetes, cardiograph and depression also are being treated with harmful medications while not even the mention of natural pet health care as a healing property.
Needless to mention, pet welfare is currently in fast decline and pet house owners actually need to be watchful in their pet welfare practices, and appearance for a stronger choice to heal their pet's sickness. Any vet active for over 10 years can tell you that the results of the large drug company take over is that dogs and cats and different animals square measure sicker than ever. These vets have seen a rise within the rate of disease, system Sumner disorders, cancers and polytechnic disorder. this is often as a result of pets square measure being frequently poisoned by dangerous pet food and medicines. Even standard Epiphany and tick medication on their own square measure extremely poisonous to your pet's liver.
Big drug company influence has turned medical specialty into a joke, right aboard the traditional drugs system for humans. now not is that the goal of medication to heal anyone. The goal now could be to profit by treating managing diseases while not really set or preventing them. Why would they are doing this? Connect the dots. to profit from repeat business and a moneymaking one at that! Let ME not even bit on the rates veterinarians square measure charging lately significantly in emergency care. The fees square measure outrageous! and also the audacity of pet clinics World Health Organization square measure taking advantage of people's kindness once they rescue a pet charging $500. for saline solution! These pet clinics square measure exploiting human kindness for prime profit. what number individuals does one suppose can currently don't have any selection however to deliberate before they rescue a wounded or helpless animal?
So what do pet house owners do once faced with a scenario wherever their precious pet wants medical help? fortunately there's another route for pet welfare with holistic practitioners in medical specialty. These practitioners square measure a lot of plentiful in medical specialty than in human medicine.
Why the pet welfare route of pet natural health care is that the direction to travel.
1. holistic veterinarians perceive nutrition, herbs, medical aid and different natural moralities.
2. holistic veterinarians dictate solutions and treat animals in ways in which square measure illicit in human drugs – as a result of these solutions have a bright side – they work!
3. holistic vets square measure a lot of typically in their line of business for the love of animals and also the belief during a natural system of medicines for ailments. This makes them human as hostile donkeys that square measure forever making an attempt to pave their monetary future by exploiting sick animals and also the love pet house owners have for his or her pets.
My dog's holistic vet, Dr. Saint Andrew the Apostle Jones once created an announcement that I actually have ne'er forgotten. "Any vet World Health Organization thinks a dog is depressed and wishes antidepressants ought to honestly have their license revoked and banished to a remote island over inhabited with sexually aggressive baboons!" I wish I might somehow show you the expression on his face once he aforementioned this and the way though I laughed from his selection of words I conjointly thought – this guy is seriously angry regarding the case. Not shocking as he's one those vets World Health Organization do what he will for the love of animals and his belief in natural drugs.
When we verify the atrocious toxicity in pet foods together with pharmaceutical drugs, the longer term of thought pet welfare is kind of dim. several brands of pet food claiming to be "scientific" brands square measure very simply crap. solely specialty pet food corporations provide genuinely healthy, poisonous free pet food.
Mainstream veterinary practices quantity to zilch over chemical abuse of dogs, cats and different animals. Sadly, this trade has swiped ethics for profit and now not has any interest in serving to to enhance the standard of lifetime of our pets. Nutrition has been discharged and replaced with a system of chemical invasion resulting in worsening future health. a similar has been happening in human health take care of years currently, that is why holistic practitioners in human and pet health care square measure speaking out and giving USA another avenue of hope for ourselves and our pets.
1. Pain killers – have a helpful however restricted role.
2. Antibiotics – is useful in bound things.
Be careful as a result of antibiotics, even in human drugs square measure massively abused round the world.
Be cautious that treating dogs and cats with antidepressants, therapy, polytechnic disorder medicine, medicinal drug medicine, pathology medicine and different such chemical agents is absurd.
Make no mistake that the majority pet health conditions is prevented and cured with smart nutrition. a lot of problematic health ailments is economically and safely resolved with flavoring therapies and naturalistic moralities best referred to as natural pet health care.
Pet welfare Things to try to to – Right Now!
2. Take a meeting with a holistic vet to analyze however he's a a lot of appropriate practice for your pet. as a result of state authorities are attempting to de-license naturalistic vets, holistic or naturalistic animal care specialists typically don't have a similar licensing credentials as regular vets. this is often happening as a result of massive drug company owns state licensing boards and naturalistic animal care specialists create a threat to their new found gold mine. you'll possibly have to be compelled to hunt down naturalistic animal care specialists on your own and ignore the state licensing boards. Dr. Jones explained to ME that in his expertise he has found that licensing credentials square measure basically useless. typically times the a lot of credentials a vet has the a lot of deeply he's brainwashed into a pharmaceutical approach to medical specialty. Please contemplate replacement your regular vet with a holistic or naturalistic animal care skilled once you've got completed your investigations.
3. return to basics. Nutrition, exercise, sickness preventing and natural pet health care.
Just like within the diet world, do not be suckered in by the "miracle pill." What animals want, rather like individuals, is powerful nutrition and natural drugs from nature. Pet welfare suggests that utilizing natural pet health care solutions, raw food diets, and naturalistic animal health care.
Mike Adams makes some fascinating points.
The main thrust of his article is to induce YOU to consider what's happening conventionally, and question why.
1. Take matters into your own hands. whether or not or not you utilize a holistic Vet- question recommendation..then bear in mind of all of the treatment choices.
2. Get yourself educated on Natural Pet Health Care.You can head to faculty or take a course of study course.
3. Vary your pet's diet- some Raw, some Home-Made and Kibble. Add a high quality supplement.
4. pay nonce along with your Dog and Cat. we have a tendency to all to typically forget the a lot of vital mental side of health..
5. The immunizing agent issue once more… as very little and as occasionally as possible!!

President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a joint plan to cut methane emissions from the oil and gas industry and a suite of plans to protect the environment in the Arctic on Thursday.
Alaska's congressional delegation — Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan and Rep. Don Young — criticized the statement as myopic and lacking in input from anyone from the United States Arctic.
Obama and Trudeau made the announcement with climate change in mind, both resolving to lead the world "in the low-carbon global economy… including through science-based steps to protect the Arctic and its peoples" and by implementing the promises of the Paris climate agreement, according to a statement from the White House.
The U.S. and Canada can do "more to protect our countries and our communities — especially in the Arctic — from climate change," Obama said Thursday morning in Washington, D.C.
"As the first U.S. President to visit the Arctic, I saw how both of our nations are threatened by rising seas, melting permafrost, disappearing glaciers and sea ice," Obama said at a joint press conference with Trudeau in the Rose Garden later in the day.
The U.S. and Canada leaders said they will aim to cut 40 to 45 percent of the oil and gas industry's methane emissions from 2012 levels by 2025, from both existing and new wells. In the U.S., the Environmental Protection Agency will begin drafting regulations immediately.
Methane emissions account for only about 10 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions — the type of air pollution that causes climate change — with other emissions like carbon dioxide making up the bulk of greenhouse gases. But methane has a far greater impact on climate — about 25 times that of carbon dioxide over a 100-year period — and in some areas is more cost-effective to rein in than other pollution.
Methane is the main component of natural gas. It sometimes leaks from well bores or the ground when oil or gas wells are drilled.
Getting final methane regulations across the finish line would take the EPA at least two years, which means the outcome is most certainly up to the next president. It's very likely that both current Democratic presidential candidates would choose to continue Obama's methane charge. Those remaining in the field of Republican candidates are likely to put a stop to new oil and gas regulations.
But the agency will begin those efforts.
"Next month, EPA will start a formal process to require companies operating existing" oil wells "to provide information to assist in development of comprehensive standards to decrease methane emissions," the White House said.
Canada will take similar action, proposing new regulations by early next year, and two countries plan to collaborate on policies and strategies.
The two also promised to work on integrating more wind, solar and hydro power into electrical grids, align energy-efficiency standards for consumer products and other efforts to support energy innovation.
Meanwhile, the future of the Arctic in Alaska and Canada drew attention from the president and prime minister.
The White House released reports on the Arctic timed with the prime minister's visit. One examines the outcome of the Obama administration's Arctic commitments in 2015. Another looks forward to 2016.
But sustainable, for Trudeau and Obama, means commercial activities, "including shipping, fishing, and oil and gas exploration and development" that can only happen under the "highest safety and environmental standards," they said.
The pair want to keep Arctic shipping corridors "low impact" to limit risks posed by heavy fuel oil use and black carbon emissions from shipping in the Beaufort Sea, they said.
Murkowski and Sullivan said the plan was short on Alaskan input and charged that it wouldn't do much for the state's Arctic people.
Sullivan said that for him, it was a week full of "Canadian diplomacy" — just not with his own administration.
The junior senator met with Canadians at an international seafood convention in Boston on Sunday, and had dinner with Canada's new ambassador David MacNaughton on Monday. On Thursday he met with Trudeau's chief cabinet secretary and also with the prime minister himself, at a meeting with about 10 other senators. In the meetings, Sullivan raised issues related to subsistence quotas and transboundary mining, he said.
And he told Trudeau that "we appreciated the highlight in the joint statement" on the Arctic, but that it should have been called an "Alaska-Canada statement," and it lacked "emphasis on the importance of jobs and economy" and the oil and gas industry.
The meetings served as a "pretty dramatic contrast with what was going on with our own federal government," Sullivan said. "We weren't asked for any input," and the delegation struggled to gather information from the administration in advance of the announcement, he said.
"With all due respect, a lot of the policies that they're laying out aren't going to do anything to protect us. They're going to further undermine a struggling economy and the further loss of jobs that unfortunately we're seeing in our state," Sullivan said.
"My long-standing criticism of the Obama Administration is that it sees the Arctic through the singular lens of climate change. It has failed — for almost eight years, today included — to account for the full range of issues and needs in the region," Murkowski said.
Alaska Rep. Don Young said the announcement makes clear that the Obama administration has no interest in resource development in Alaska. "If the President were serious about building a resilient Alaska, as he's stated on numerous occasions, he wouldn't systematically target our already sensitive economy and the industries that support it," Young said.
Nevertheless, environmental groups quickly lauded the announcements.
Obama and Trudeau announced their plans at the start of the first official visit by a Canadian prime minister in nearly 20 years, according to Obama's remarks Thursday.
Trudeau arrived at the White House on Thursday morning with his wife, Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau, where they were met on the South Lawn by Obama, first lady Michelle Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry, National Security Adviser Susan Rice, Canada's ministers of trade, environment, defence and fisheries, and other officials.
The official visit was marked with a 21-gun salute and a military greeting, and a bit of prodding from Obama about his hometown hockey team's hold on the most recent Stanley Cup. Trudeau responded in his remarks by name-checking several Canadians who play for the Chicago Blackhawks.
Obama noted longtime friendships between Canada and the U.S.: "Up in Hyder, Alaska, folks head across the border to celebrate Canada Day, and folks in Stewart, British Columbia, come over for the Fourth of July," Obama said.
On Thursday evening, the Obamas held a state dinner at the White House for the visiting Canadian guests. The guest list included Murkowski's co-chair of the Senate Arctic Caucus, Maine Sen. Angus King, but no Alaskan lawmakers or others from the state.
The menu did reportedly include Alaska Halibut.

Huggles the Honeybear by Gavin Fouche
It was the end of a busy day at Wriggley's Toyshop. Everybody had gone home and the great big green doors which guarded the toys inside had been tightly shut and locked.
Inside, the toyshop was covered in darkness. But all was not quiet as a faint whimpering noise could be heard. It was coming from one of the toy-shelves.
From the sales counter, of where he had been placed on display for promotional purposes, Policeman Pete switched on his torch. (Luckily for him batteries had been included!) "Who's there?" He asked as he slowly swung the torch beam across the toyshop.
When no answer came Policeman Pete shouted into the darkness; "Identify yourself! Or when I find you I shall be forced to make a Plastic Policeman's arrest!"
But still nothing.
"I come with an exact replica of a real police badge you know." He added.
Just then the beam of torchlight fell upon a single teddy bear sitting up on an empty shelf. The bear had a soft brown furry coat and an almost honey-coloured snout and tummy.
Policeman Pete recognized him instantly. He was a Honeybear. A Honeybear was the type of bear that was so cuddly that children all over the world were being tucked in next to one at night these days.
"I-I'm so sorry if I disturbed anyone." The Honeybear apologized with a final sniff of sadness.
"Why were you crying?" A soft voice from a nearby shelf asked.
All this talk had now awoken the miniature dolls who switched on the lights in their doll house to see what all of this was about. The toyshop was now bathed in a dim yellow glow and the Honeybear saw that the voice belonged to a Tina Ballerina doll on the shelf next to his.
She was the most beautiful ballerina –and certainly the most beautiful Tina- that he had ever seen.
"My name is Huggles -Huggles The Honeybear- and nobody wants me." He sighed.
"Whatever makes you say that?" Asked Tina.
"This shelf," Huggles pointed with his paw, "was full of lots of other Honeybears and all of them were sold today. Harold, Horace, Henrietta, Helen – all of them. All of them except me, that is."
"Well maybe they just never had a proper look at you." Offered Policeman Pete who had by now switched off his torch in order to save batteries.
"But they did,"said Huggles. "Shirley the shop assistant came around with them. They were two humans named Mr. and Mrs. Fossington-Jones. I was then picked up by Mrs. Fossington-Jones who was wearing a fur coat which looked a lot like my own
I noticed that her lips were painted as red as fire engines and her eyelids were painted bluer than the sea."
"That's make-up," said Tina
"No. It's absolutely true." Huggles replied.
"You said that she pointed something out on you." Policeman Pete said thoughtfully. Huggles nodded. "Could it be that she was pointing out that something was wrong with you?" Asked Policeman Pete. He smiled to himself as it was a deduction worthy of his counterpart, Detective Dan.
"Wait a second," Said Tina as she bent over to pick up a toy mirror. "Here," She said, handing Huggles the mirror, "Do you see anything wrong with yourself?"
Huggles inspected himself closely in the mirror. "Well no, not exactly." He said.
"You know, you're quite a handsome chap – for a bear." Tina teased. "And that's a compliment you can smile about you know." She added
"Oh but I am smiling, can't you see?"
Suddenly it was clear. Policeman Pete looked at Tina, Tina looked at Policeman Pete, and Huggles looked closer into the mirror – that was it! Huggles couldn't smile.
Tina let out a small surprised squeal. "Huggles- " She began. "-You don't have a smile."
"I don't have a smile?" Huggles half-asked.
"How can this be?" He asked. "Whenever I am happy I can feel myself smiling."
"Perhaps it's just a manufacturer's error and can still be easily fixed." Offered a voice from the above shelf.
It belonged to Edward the Aardvark. Edward was the oldest toy in the toyshop. He was surrounded by a number of stuffed toy ostriches, giraffes, lions and crocodiles – all very popular with the tourists.
"I once knew a bear named Ziti the Zoo Bear who was made with only one ear," He said in his deep, slow, voice. "His new owners had him sent away somewhere where they fixed him up again."
"So I can be fixed?" Asked Huggles. Edward nodded his wise old head in his typical old slow fashion.
"Where do I go to get fixed?" He asked again.
Edward the Aardvark raised his head to look at the ceiling, and thought for a moment.
Unfortunately for the young and impatient Huggles it turned out to be a rather long moment.
Finally, after that moment turned into yet another moment, Edward looked at Huggles and said in his same slow tone; "Well, the thing is, I don't know exactly."
"If I were you young squire I should embark upon a quest."
Huggles looked at the shelf opposite and saw that it was said by Norman the Knight. He stood with his sword in one hand and his shield in the other.
"A quest?" Asked old Edward. " Is that like when you ask a short question?"
"A quest is when you go on a journey in order to find something." Norman replied somewhat in a huff."Usually in my case it involves a Damsel in Distress." He added with a slight bow.
"A donkey in a dress?" Asked old Eddy Aardvark, clearly puzzled.
Norman sighed heavily. "A damsel in distress, my good sir, refers to a beautiful lady in trouble. And it is one which only I," Norman bowed again,"Can save."
"In other words a quest is like a Grand Adventure." It was Bobby the Bookworm who was a bookend and therefore considered himself to be somewhat of an educational toy. He occupied a place alongside Policeman Pete on top of the sales counter.
"All the heroes you read about in the great storybooks usually all set off on a Grand Adventure at some point or other, from the Cat In The Hat to King Arthur and his Knights Of The Round Table – everybody. And nowadays even Harry Potter." He explained.
Huggles stood up from where he sat."That's it!" He said excitedly. "I shall go on a quest – on a Grand Adventure – I will go on a journey to find my smile." The other toys who had been listening voiced their agreement.
"If you need a way out," Offered Policeman Pete, "There is a small space you could squeeze through beneath the front doors."
Huggles gazed at the two giant green French doors. He saw the small space between the doors and the ground.
"It'll be a tight squeeze but I could probably fit through that." He said thoughtfully.
Huggles carefully climbed down from his shelf and went around to bid his farewells. He shook paws with Edward the Aardvark, and hands with Policeman Pete and Norman the Knight.
"If only I had my trusty, noble steed young fellow, I shall go with you," Said Norman, "But alas, my horse is sold separately."
"Good luck my friend," Said Policeman Pete. "When you leave I'll turn a blind eye." He winked at Huggles.
Just as Huggles turned away, Tina Ballerina hugged him tightly. He saw a small tear forming in the corner of her eye.
"Oh Huggles, take care of yourself!" Said Tina.
Under normal circumstances Huggles would've let her know with a smile that everything was going to be alright, but he decided to dry away her tears with his furry paw instead.
Huggles gave everything one last look before squeezing himself through the space between the door and the floor.
Once he emerged on the other side he dusted himself off and smoothed his fur straight as it was all sticking up from the big push. He did not want to be mistaken for a porcupine by the outside world after all!
He glanced back into the toyshop window and waved a final goodbye to his friends on the inside before setting off on his search for a smile.

Monday, the Town of Wheatfield Town Board met for its first meeting of February. The board discussed a proposed major subdivision along town-owned property on Witmer Road.
The land is located behind the Town Hall campus where representatives have discussed placing a Town Center full of mixed use, commercial and residential properties along with possible shops. Despite the possibility, Wheatfield Supervisor Don MacSwan said the town cannot support a Town Center at the moment and by possibly placing this 10-lot subdivision in place, it could bring the town extra revenue.
"It's on Witmer Road, there's 10 lots there. There's already homes across from where we're proposing, so it's perfectly compatible with what's going on. The town has all this acreage back here (behind Town Hall) and we had a focus group that was working on the Town Center, but we realize now – financially – the town isn't in a position to either develop or promote the Town Center.
"We do realize we can do those 10 lots and still pick up some money for the town and still have access to this property back here, and that's the key. So we're not going to affect the Town Center, but whatever the town's future plans may be – we still have access left, so we can come back here to our property," MacSwan said.
Residents can be assured that digging has not begun, and Monday night was strictly to authorize a negative declaration, which means there are no adverse impacts on the environment, under the state environmental quality review for the subdivision's preliminary plat.
The board also scheduled a public hearing regarding the subdivision's preliminary plat at 7 p.m. March 18. MacSwan understood there could be some opposition to the proposal.
"We have a few people that weren't happy with it, but it is what it is. Some of the people that worked on the Town Center idea didn't like it, but the bottom line is … what else would you put there – even if you do have a Town Center there – other than homes," MacSwan said.
MacSwan reminded residents that the Town Center idea has not been eliminated, but from the town's standpoint it can't afford it at this moment and there aren't enough developers willing to invest.
"If anything, the housing would encourage future development for a Town Center," MacSwan added.
The two items regarding the subdivision were some of five agenda items moved Monday night.
Additional information came about during board member remarks.
Councilman Randy Retzlaff motioned to place a constable in Town Hall for five hours a day to help improve security at the site. Retzlaff said the five hours is specifically for when the Town Court is open for business.
"Just a little extra security for the people working here," Retzlaff said.
The item was approved and MacSwan agreed that securing the premises is first priority.
"We all remember the good ole days when Wheatfield was perfectly secure. I guess it's a sign of the times … we've had some issues with people coming into Town Hall, and not just once in a while – it happens quite often. (Town) justices have approached the Town Board and … you can't put a price on a life, and we have a good group of constables and I think it's the way to go. I hate to say it, but it does show how things have changed in the little Town of Wheatfield. I agree with this and I think it's something we have to do," MacSwan said. He then thanked Retzlaff for the motion.
Councilman Larry Helwig presented several tidbits of information to residents during his closing remarks, including a solar farm proposal and a town alert system on its website.
"It's all land-locked and you can hardly see it from Witmer Road. … This is very preliminary and it's just so you're not hearing about this in another month or two. … If you wanna say something, say it now. They're approaching us and we're not going out there fishing for them. … We don't know where this is going to lead, but maybe this might not be a bad application in a place you can't even see it from the roadway," Helwig said.
Next, Helwig gave a step-by-step presentation on how to sign up for notifications from the town's website.
Residents interested can visit www.wheatfield.ny.us and on the home screen go to the "How Do I" section at the top. In that tab, one subhead will list "Sign up for," which residents should then click notifications.
