Below, İpek Ulusoy talks with Hammad Nasar, head of research and programs at Hong Kong's Asia Art Archive (AAA). (Part 1 of this conversation can be found here.) They discuss the dynamic role of archives in art history, exhibition making, and knowledge production around art from Asia. The interview was conducted at Asia Art Archive on November 18, 2015. This post is part of an ongoing collaboration between Independent Curators International and The Exhibitionist to feature writing by participants of ICI's Curatorial Intensives.

İU: How does Asia Art Archive (AAA) interact or collaborate with analogous archival structures elsewhere in the world? I am thinking of Beirut's Arab Image Foundation, or SALT in Istanbul.
HN: We don't have a fixed mode of working. We don't aim to have one in terms of collaboration. I would describe us as the most promiscuous person on the dance floor. AAA's mission is to address the lack of knowledge infrastructure in Asia. And so it is important to work with established, research-focused institutions like museums, academies, libraries, and other archives. There are also equally important independent initiatives, such as the Indonesia Visual Art Archive (IVAA) and newer, state-funded, gigantic initiatives such as the National Gallery of Singapore or Asia Cultural Complex in Gwangju, Korea, that also have archival ambitions. SALT and the Arab Image Foundation are part of this galaxy.
İU: Or ecology.
HN: Exactly. An ecology of possibilities, let's say. Another example is the IVAA in Jakarta, Indonesia, that has been doing great work longer than we have. They've focused on Indonesia and had a lot of materials online, but all in Bahasa Indonesian. For people who don't speak that language, but who are interested in Indonesian histories and the important exhibitions held there, access is an issue. So in consultation with IVAA's team and advisors we targeted five key exhibitions that changed the discourse around contemporary art in Indonesia. We then piloted a little translation project for the material around those exhibitions and transcripts of talks, conferences, and discussions. We are now interested in how to make this live on both our websites so that they talk to each other. Then you have more to look at than Magiciens de la terre and the other exhibitions that are so often brought up as the only ones. It opens up other points of reference.
Similarly, we're embarking on a new project—not yet finalized, so I won't give you a name—with a major U.S. university. Together we are looking at a digitization project, from which the resulting material will be used for teaching.
İU: In what context?
HN: The university faculty has an interest in the material we propose for digitizing. It is not like we bring things together and at some point somebody might use it. As we build the collection, we're simultaneously building community and engagement around it.
İU: It sounds like a very active engagement with knowledge production around contemporary artistic and cultural work from the region, and its dissemination in various ways. This also reminds me of another recently announced research fellowship where you are collaborating with the Lahore Biennale Foundation. Can you talk more about the digitization project that Saira Ansari will soon embark on, based on the modernist artist Zubeida Agha?
HN: That's another great example of partnership. The credit for this digitization project should go to the Lahore Biennale Foundation, which started this initiative supporting research. Pakistan, is a very poorly researched area, so they wanted to have an annual program with funding for a research fellowship. I serve on the jury. Ansari's winning proposal was to construct a digital archive of this very important figure, Zubeida Agha, who was an artist, a gallery owner, and also a patron for the National Collection in the 1960s.
One of the other jury members, Iftikhar Dadi, is also an advisor to the AAA. He asked why Saira wanted to build something from the ground up—why not work with AAA? That's how the conversation got started. Saira will come here in December, spend a week with the digital materials, and explore. We have the infrastructure to host. And we'll support this project remotely as the material will then come into the collection. This feeds into the point that it's not just about inventing things here, but building conversations with communities elsewhere.
We've also done something similar with the independent curator Biljana Ciric, who has conducted interviews and collected material on a series of exhibitions in Shanghai in the 1990s, which is being processed and will then be hosted on our platform. It's one thing doing research and collecting the material, and it's another to say we'll now host this as infrastructure for the field. Independent researchers often don't have the resources to be able to do this, even if they wanted to.
One other point, going back to Slavs and Tatars: the Free Parking program, of which their exhibition is a part, extends this idea of going to and coming from elsewhere, or circulation. There's also the Mobile Library program, where we take books elsewhere.
İU: That's brilliant. What are some of the locations?
HN: It was in Myanmar this year. And coinciding with Mobile Library being in Myanmar, we had organized for a set of books from Myanmar to be here as part of the Free Parking program. Mobile Library is an evolving program, and the Myanmar iteration was our most ambitious in scale and scope. Its impact is something we can only judge later. To plan it, we had a research visit where we talked to 60 different artist organizations in Yangon and Mandalay to understand what the needs are. Then we worked with colleagues there, led by Myanmar Art Resource Center and Archive (MARCA). They collectively curated what books they'd like to have. Then we reached out to international publishers and organizations to donate books; we bought the books we couldn't get donated. We were able to raise money within Myanmar, and with core support from Foundation for Art Initiatives (FfAI). That library ended up in multiple places in Myanmar. One of the most important of these was the University of Arts and Culture, where we invited the artist T. Sanathanan, who led a lot of the work previously in the Sri Lanka edition. He then led our sessions with both teachers and students. That lateral exchange was extremely significant.
İU: Tell me more about the genealogy of this program.
HN: It started in 2011. The one in Myanmar was the third edition. We first started in Vietnam, small and modest. Then Sri Lanka, more ambitious. Myanmar was even more ambitious and happened over a longer duration, with multiple partners and programs.
İU: Let's go back to the question of audience.
HN: There is the audience for our on-site programs, which are, for the most part, in Hong Kong. But as with Mobile Library and other partnerships, these can happen elsewhere. In fact, we have just recruited an associate curator to help develop programs in India that will bring our work into a wider conversation within India. And there is a set of programs that are run by AAA in America, out of New York.
And then there is the audience for research. We certainly have a research audience here in Hong Kong, but it's a tiny fraction of our global audience. We're trying to intervene in the geography and economics of doing research. If you are a young academic wanting to conduct research, you have to apply for funds for the research trip; if you're teaching you need to buy yourself out of your teaching commitments and then travel. It sometimes takes years to get through this process, and then you travel for a month. By making as much of this material as possible available online, we are not saying you don't have to travel anymore, but maybe you might travel much less. You can do a lot of work from wherever you are. There are people who are writing books and dissertations based on the material they can access thanks to our digitization projects. This is not Kim Kardashian, of course—we're not going to break the Internet because we've uploaded some unpublished manuscript by Geeta Kapur [laughs]. But it's not necessarily about sheer numbers. It's actually the type of people. I'll use a business analogy. Although we look like a B-to-C (business to consumer) organization, I think we're more of a B-to-B (business to business). Our main users or "super-users" are people who are people doing research. Academics, curators or people in higher education.
İU: People from the field, so to say.
HN: Yes, we think of our main users as people who'll consult our archive as the fuel for their practice—whether for research, or teaching, or art—and also for students. One of the last events we held here was for young people who are about to go to art schools. We organized an event where we brought people who are already going to art schools and started a conversation between them, sharing experiences. This room, believe it or not, can hold up to 80 people. But we had 120 attendees, so we had to arrange for streaming in a room upstairs. Teachers wanted to show it to other students, so we recorded it. How many more people will see it? I don't know. But with the video accessible online the footage can be used by an ever-expanding set of users.
İU: Maybe best to end with potential or future plans?
HN: We are in conversations with several places. Most concretely, we have just started a partnership with the Paul Mellon Centre on a project called London, Asia that posits London as an Asian city for art history. As part of this, and in further collaboration with Tate Modern, we will host a symposium and panel discussion to coincide with Tate's exhibition on Bhupen Khakhar that looks at how South Asia has been framed in exhibitions in Britain.
In the UAE, Michelle Wong, who is leading our research projects in Hong Kong, shared what we're doing here with Campus Art Dubai.
İU: Of which I am an alumna!
HN: The idea here was to share approaches. We can learn a lot from each other. We also ran a digitization workshop in Kuwait as part of the last Global Art Forum. We developed this in conversation with Kristine Khouri, for example, who's been doing research and archival projects in the region. And we are already working with Sharjah Art Foundation for a forthcoming exhibition and discursive project, led by Tarek Abou el Fatouh, that looks at exhibitions that talk to one another. We see all of these as little seeds for the future. How they grow should be organic, and should reflect the impetus and urgencies of Kuwait, Sharjah, Dubai, or Beirut. These are not areas where we have the resources to make major contributions ourselves – but we can be supportive interlocutors, and, like I said before, catalysts.
İU: Thank you so much, Hammad.
HM: You are very welcome, İpek.

Primitive Race Releases New Video for "Dancing In The Sun" in Honor of Late Singer Chuck Mosley
Rahman Wortman December 6th, 2017 - 8:23 AM
A month ago Primitive Race released their second album Soul Pretender, but sadly about a week after it's release the alternative rock super-group lost its lead vocalist and good friend Chuck Mosley who died after battling addiction for so many years. In honor of Mosley, Primitive Race has chosen to share his favorite track off of the album, "Dancing on the Sun," and to donate 100% of 2018 album sales to MusiCares to benefit substance abuse treatments for artists battling addiction.
Before his untimely death, Mosley talked about his initial feelings of "Dancing on the Sun" stating "I couldn't say no to doing the record. When we completed the first few tracks, I found myself wishing I had written them. Not just the lyrics…just good heavy riffs and grooves really sucked me in. The melodies and words came super easy with this music. Even though it's a whole different vibe it brought out a side of me I haven't experienced since writing with Faith No More."
Songwriter and Primitive Race founder Chris Kniker talked about dealing with the loss of his friend and band mate stating "I wasn't prepared for any of this. Most only knew Chuck Mosley as the former singer of Faith No More; to me was a friend with whom I had formed a special bond over the past 17 years. Chuck was funny, witty, charismatic, and charming in a way that was only Chuck. He was truly one of a kind. Chuck inspired Mark, Erie, and I, and I knew we did the same for him. He felt we had created something that allowed him to grow as an artist. He was thrilled and honored to be playing on a record with Dale Crover. I was just happy to know that we made a record that I enjoyed; a group of friends creating something together. I am sure that Chuck would want us all to learn and grow from his struggles. Addiction is a horrible burden to bare for the afflicted and their loved ones. If you are or know someone who needs help don't be afraid to ask."

Q: Slow disks but lots of RAM - optimization tips? I have a Windows Server 2012 with rather slow hard-drives BUT with a lot of RAM and I can't change that (it's an Amazon EC2 actually).
What can I do to optimize performance?
I have 16 GB of physical memory but 5-6 GB of it always stay free. Should I increase disk-cache size? Or maybe disable the page file? Or make it fixed size? Interested in general Windows tuning tips, possibly not involving "buy a faster drive from Amazon" :)
PS. The server runs an IIS web-server (intensively used) and an SQL-server with one small (6GB) database. SQL already uses 7GB (looks like all the DB is already cached there).
Thanks guys!

A: There is nothing you CAN do. Disc cache size - Windows automatically uses all non-app-allocated memory, so - there you go. Page file - should not do a lot anyway (only swap out stuff really not used). Slow databases with SQL Server are just not working.
On top, SQL uses it's own caching anyway..... unless you sabotaged that one.
What you can do is update SQL Server to 2014 and activate the delayed logging option, which gives you better performance at the cost of possible transaction losses.
At the end, a database does need fast IO if it does a lot of work, and no magic wand will work around that ;)

Our deceased loved ones once walked, talked, laughed, cried, worked and loved just like everyone of us. While we were young children, days lasted f.o.r.e.v.e.r. When we were in our twenties, "old" was fifty and nothing seemed impossible. Now that we are in our fifties, time is speeding rapidly. We often find ourselves trying to hold onto a "moment" for just a little longer.
It isn't just a line… It's Your Life!


In the beginning there was a small group of dedicated scientists who were wondering if it was possible to change the way people monitor their health.
Since Genomic testing is expensive and risky for smaller labs they established GTC, a genomic testing lab combining next-gen sequencing (NGS) with AI that will disrupt the current model.
GTC WAS FOUNDED IN 2018.
We strive to offer advanced genomic testing to communities everywhere at an affordable price.
We utilize a cooperative business model that enables academic and commercial laboratories to help physicians treat patients locally with the most advanced precision medicine.
We embrace disruptive deep learning and advanced technology to create scalable efficiencies, incomparable precision, and a more personalized approach to patient care.
We are committed to driving the field of oncology forward by enabling more patients to contribute their unique cancer experience to the growing body of cancer genomics data.
We are committed to fulfilling precision medicine's promise of individualized care for everyone by empowering physicians to formulate treatments that best suit each patient's unique genetic profile.
Because cancer is an expensive disease to fight we put patients before profits and charge fair prices. Everyone should have the opportunity to contribute their unique cancer fingerprint to the knowledge base and so we all get closer to breakthroughs.
Our goal is to take genomic testing to the level that precision medicine fulfills its promise in oncology of treating every patients' cancer.
THEY HAVE WORKED FOR SCIENCE, FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND FOR GTC PROJECT FOR MORE THAN THOUSANDS OF HOURS.

Sanders Leads PPIC Survey; CA Dems Still Divided
Two weeks before California's behemouth Democratic primary, Bernie Sanders has pulled ahead in the PPIC survey, followed by a cluster that includes Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Michael Bloomberg and Pete Buttigieg.
Statewide, California Democrats remain as they always have been — divided about 60-40, moderates versus left liberals.
According to the Public Policy Institute of California, Sanders is on track to get the most delegates, with 32% in the survey, followed by Biden at 14%, Warren 13%, Bloomberg and Buttigieg at 12%. With proportional representation, a candidate who wins 15% in a congressional district can pick up at least some of California's 494 delegates — about a fifth of the 1900+ delegates it takes to win the Democratic nomination.
As the star isolate on the left, Sanders is sweeping up the progressive vote — not enough to win a majority in California but enough to win a plurality, with the moderates divided among several contenders. It's that pattern that worries leading Democrats who are worried that no single moderate –who appeals to the bulk of the party and centrist independents and Republicans — will emerge to keep Sanders from capturing the nomination and leading the party over the electoral cliff.
PPIC found no other Democrat in double figures, with Amy Klobuchar at 5%, Rom Steyer 3% and Tulsi Gabbard at 1%. Those who have not made up their minds were 8% in the survey.
Unusual Findings There are some strange findings in PPIC's survey: For example Sanders pulls 53% of the Latinos and 53% of those aged 18-44 but 40% of the liberals while Biden leads among the moderate-conservative voters with 23%, Sanders has 20% and Bloomberg has 16%. In order for Sanders to have the lead he does statewide, PPICs implicit voter model seems to assume an unusually high turnout by young voters overall and young Latinos in particular.
PPIC does not survey registered voters — it surveys adults by random sample and relies on respondents' answers to several questions to determine who is a likely voter. Nor does the survey attempt to model the expected electorate. If older voters dominate the March 3 election as they have in the past, Biden and others might not trail Sanders by the big margins reflected in the survey.
PPIC's survey, from Feb. 7-17, includes interviews before the New Hampshire primary, before Bloomberg's saturation of the airwaves and before news of Sanders' alienation of the Culinary Workers Union in Nevada. But they also reflect Sanders' increasing grip on the left wing of the Democratic Party — a development that many mainstream Democrats find frightening.
Not California primary voters, however, according to PPIC. Among them, 34% say Sanders has the best chance of beating President Trump in November, compared to 16% each who choose Biden and Bloomberg.
PPIC's telephone survey included 573 Democratic primary likely voters (Democrats and independent voters who say they will vote in the Democratic primary) with a sampling error of ±5.7 percent.


Governors under the auspices of the Nigeria Governors' Forum have summoned all 36 members to an emergency meeting to discuss the minimum wage and possibly take a common position.
The meeting, which is scheduled to hold in Abuja today, is said to be compulsory for all the 36 governors.
This is contained in a statement issued by the NGF secretariat in Abuja on Monday.
The statement requested that all governors must attend in person.
The statement read in part, "Emergency meeting of governors over minimum wage will hold tomorrow at the NGF secretariat, Maitama, Abuja at 5pm.
Meanwhile, in what appears to be a last-minute desperate effort by the Federal Government to forestall a nationwide workers' strike, members of the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo-led Economic Management Team will on Tuesday(today), meet with state governors in an attempt to reach a consensus on the new national minimum wage.
The meeting is the second within 24 hours.
They had met on Monday on the same issue.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, disclosed the need for Tuesday's meeting in an interview with State House correspondents at the end of Monday's meeting.
The minister said, "We held a meeting for us to bring out modalities for us to respond to the emerging problems thrown up by the National Minimum wage Committee and we have very fruitful meeting which necessitated the governors having further meeting tomorrow (Tuesday).
"We will reconvene tomorrow (Tuesday) to brief the Economic Management Team and the Vice-President and we take it up from there.
The Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum and Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari, also spoke with reporters at the end of the meeting.
Yari said while state governors were willing to pay the new minimum wage, ability to pay was key in arriving at a figure.


The key is to have some parameters around your goals, whether it involves losing five pounds, trying to be compliant with a daily vitamin routine, or getting to bed by 10pm each night. And if you miss a day of vitamins or stay up late one night, don't consider it a failure, remember that you're human. Adopting new habits doesn't happen overnight. In fact, research shows it takes about 21 days for a new habit to kick in.
Here are some ideas for goals to go after this year.
Sugar's role as a contributor to a number of health issues has been well documented. Most notably, it contributes to chronic inflammation, diabetes, heart disease and challenges the immune system. Yet, cutting it out completely is easier said than done. Sugar is in 73% of packaged foods, including items such as yogurts, dressings, and crackers. While you can switch to more natural sweeteners that score lower on the glycemic index, your best strategy is to try to reduce your total sugar consumption. To do so, start paying close attention your food labels. If the sugar seems high, swap that item for one with lower sugar content. For instance, choose flavored water over soda, plain yogurt instead of flavored fruit yogurt, and naturally sweetened dietary supplements instead of sugar-packed vitamin gummies.
That doesn't mean you have to go crazy. For healthy adults, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity a week, or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity… or a combination of both. What does this mean for you? You don't have to become a CrossFit champion or marathon runner to succeed. Moderate exercise includes walking, gardening or swimming. While vigorous includes activities such as running or cycling. Experts also agree that it's best to do a mix of aerobic and non-aerobic activities, such as weight lifting or resistance training, which helps to maintain bone density, muscle strength and balance, all of which are especially important as we age.
Even the best diet can have its pitfalls. Studies have shown that although we should be able to get all of our nutrients from food, we don't. In particular, we fall short of eating the daily recommended servings of fruits and vegetables. And when we miss getting essential vitamins and minerals, we miss out on key nutrients that have been reported to help lower our risk for heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and other health conditions. Being compliant with a daily multivitamin routine can help to make sure you stay closer to the nutrient levels needed to maintain optimal health.
Once upon a time it was cool to brag about how little sleep you got each night. In today's world, we're more informed and understand the importance of sleep — and that most of us are falling short. One in three adults don't get the sleep they need, which is at least seven hours a night according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. What researchers also know now is that ongoing sleep deprivation affects cognitive function and brain health. It makes us prone to weight gain, more susceptible to diabetes, heart disease and compromises the immune system. To boot, if you're eating healthier and exercising more but not sleeping, you won't reap the benefits of your efforts. Studies have shown, that you won't make gains from exercise if your body and muscles aren't rested.

6 Surprising Things You Didn't Know About North Korea
By Heather Brady 07 January 2018
As tensions between North Korea and the U.S. mount, curiosity about what life is like there has increased.
There's a lot about North Korea that the world doesn't know, largely because of the governing regime's intense control over its citizens and its wary approach to outsiders. But between satellite images, North Korean citizens who fled to other countries, and the small number of people who have managed to visit, a picture of everyday North Korea has slowly emerged.
Follow Photos Inside North Korea loading...
A view from space, for instance, revealed that North Koreans have experienced a continuous lack of steady electric light across the country at night over the past few years. Other glimpses have shown a crippling famine that lasted for decades, leading to around three million deaths and a continued legacy of starvation.
Eunsun Kim, who escaped with her mother when she was 11 years old, says the country's indoctrination begins the moment a North Korean citizen is born.
"We were brainwashed even in our mothers' tummies," she says. "More than 90 percent of the songs we were forced to sing were about the Kim family or the Labor party. The worship of the Kim family is normal."
Take a look at the famously guarded country through our photos, videos, and articles, collected here in order to highlight everyday life in an unfamiliar area of the world.
1. PYONGYANG IS SURPRISINGLY PRETTY FROM ABOVE.
This flyover video of Pyongyang, North Korea's largest city, is a rare sight, filled with pastel-coloured buildings along a winding river. It was created by a foreigner who was allowed to capture footage from a unique vantage point: a tiny airplane that flew over the city.
Although the government allowed only limited footage, filmmakers Rob Whitworth and J.T. Singh provided glimpses of daily life in the following time-lapse video of Pyongyang, including North Koreans riding the subway, circling historic monuments, and visiting a local skate park.
Take a tour of Pyongyang in this captivating time-lapse from the National Geographic Short Film Showcase.
2. THE MILITARY IS PART OF RESIDENTS' EVERYDAY LIVES (A REALLY DEEP PART).
"You see them everywhere. They're not just the country's defense, they're part of North Korea's entire identity," National Geographic photographer David Guttenfelder says.
Soldiers are involved in development and infrastructure projects, and Guttenfelder captured their importance in daily life in Pyongyang. Guttenfelder, one of few westerners who has spent extensive time in North Korea from 2000 to the present, was invited to North Korea's annual Mass Games performance and the highly choreographed military demonstrations of goose-stepping soldiers and artillery on parade.
Everyone at the event has a role to play, including the spectators, who use colour flip-books to make grand mosaics from the stands. The images are usually tributes to the country's leaders, or simply the military at large.

3. PYONGYANG HOLDS GLIMPSES OF BEAUTY.
These images by Ed Jones capture North Koreans as they wait at bus stops in the capital of Pyongyang. While their bored expressions mirror those of bus riders the world over, the stops themselves look a bit different in North Korea. Instead of sporting ads or graffiti, they feature landscapes or cityscapes, often with beautiful scenery.
Buses are by far the most common means of public transport in the capital of around three million people, where access to private cars is rare, and they offer an extensive network of coverage. Tickets cost 5 won each, less than 0.1 U.S. cents at free-market rates, making journeys virtually free.

4. A VOLCANO ON THE PENINSULA COULD ERUPT.
Sprinkled with villages and blueberries, the sacred and beautiful volcano Mount Paektu has been rumbling in recent years, prompting an international effort to study its underbelly.
A millennium ago, Mount Paektu exploded with a fury rivalling the largest eruptions in recorded human history, hurling crackling rocks and ash as far away as Japan. Despite that violent outburst, Mount Paektu—or Changbai, as it's called in Chinese—remains fundamentally mysterious. Few outside the region are even aware it exists. And no one knows if, or when, the 2,700-metre-tall peak might erupt again.

5. THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF LUXURY IN SOME NORTH KOREANS' LIVES.
Between a fancy ski resort and the popularity of rollerblading among elite North Koreans, life there isn't all doom and gloom. Over the years, National Geographic photographer David Guttenfelder has noticed the increase in rollerblading as part of a greater emphasis on athleticism and recreation that has occurred since Kim Jong-Un took over as supreme leader in 2011.
"I can't count the number of rollerblading locations there are in the capital city and all over," Guttenfelder says. "It was largely the elite, but it really spread all over the country, this sudden call for people to go out and play games and do recreation."

6. SUBWAYS IN PYONGYANG ARE ELABORATE.
Only two of the subway system's stops were initially open to tourists, prompting the idea that the stops were part of an elaborate setup. Then the government opened all 17 stops to tourists in late 2015, with surprising results.
Melody Rowell wrote in a National Geographic article that commuters who descend the 100 metres below the city's central business district are accompanied by a soundtrack of patriotic anthems playing over antique loudspeakers. They pass through thick steel doors that enable the stations to double as bunkers in the event of a nuclear disaster. Each station, named not for a geographic landmark but rather a socialist buzzword, features some combination of gilded statues of Kim Il Sung, detailed mosaic murals, bronze plaques commemorating North Korean military victories, and whimsical chandeliers.
"Every single station pretty much covers all of what they really want the people in North Korea to listen to, and what they want them to be indoctrinated by," Australian travel blogger and software developer Elliott Davies says. "That's really good for the tourists as well. The whole journey in North Korea is political, where they want you to come out the other side and be like, 'You know what? North Korea's not that bad!"

The question of when to initiate antiretroviral therapy (ART) during the course of HIV infection has been debated for years, yet a conclusive answer has remained elusive. For HIV-infected individuals the primary question was whether to start ART early, risking possible cumulative drug toxicities, potential viral resistance, and difficulties with long-term adherence, or to defer ART until later in the course of infection and risk developing irreparable immune system dysfunction or other health issues related to ongoing, uncontrolled HIV replication. For health systems with limited funds, a key question was whether the scientific data justified dedicating the resources required to provide early ART to all HIV-infected individuals. New data are now available to help answer these important questions.
An independent data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) met recently to review preliminary, interim results from March 2015 from an ongoing clinical trial known as the Strategic Timing of AntiRetroviral Treatment (START) study. The START trial, which began in 2009, enrolled 4,685 adults living with HIV infection in 35 countries. Participants were randomly assigned to begin ART immediately (when their CD4+ T cell count -- a measure of immune health commonly referred to as the CD4 count -- was greater than 500 cells per microliter of blood, the "early ART" arm), or to defer ART (when their CD4 count dropped below 350, the "deferred ART" arm). This study was primarily funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), along with a number of other NIH Institutes and other partners.
The DSMB reported that the accumulated START trial data overwhelmingly support starting ART immediately and recommended that the results be released early. Participants in the early ART arm had a 53 percent lower risk of a primary outcome (defined as AIDS-related illness, serious non-AIDS illness, or death) compared to those who deferred ART. This finding is critical information for the care and treatment of people living with HIV for a number of reasons.
The benefits of ART are well-documented: by suppressing HIV replication, ART has been shown in many studies and in "real world" situations to improve the health and longevity of people living with HIV. While data from clinical trials support initiation of ART at CD4 counts less than 350, only observational studies and expert opinion have been available to support recommendations of initiating ART at CD4 counts higher than 350.
Because of the prevailing clinical impression that ongoing HIV replication has substantial direct and indirect deleterious effects not only on the immune system, but also on other organ systems, some healthcare workers, especially in resource-rich settings, had begun offering ART to individuals with CD4 counts higher than 350. However, clinical impressions in the absence of appropriate controls can be misleading, and a randomized trial was needed to provide conclusive evidence that the benefits of early ART outweighed the risks.
The START trial provides this evidence and the impact will be considerable. For individual patients and their health care providers, the new data provide reassurance that a decision to start ART earlier rather than later is backed by solid scientific evidence. More broadly, treatment recommendations for HIV-infected people will now need to be re-examined in light of this new information. International guidelines from the World Health Organization issued in 2013 recommended ART for all HIV-infected individuals based on expert opinion and, in particular, strongly recommended ART for people with CD4 counts between 350 and 500 based largely on nonrandomized trials and observational cohort studies. Similarly, guidelines issued in 2014 by the Department of Health and Human Services also recommended ART for all HIV-infected individuals based on expert opinion to reduce the risk of disease progression and, in particular, strongly recommended ART for those with CD4 counts between 350 and 500 based on nonrandomized trials and observational cohort studies. The START trial now adds an entirely new dimension of scientific evidence to inform future recommendations for the initiation of ART in HIV-infected individuals.
Starting ART early can offer a number of potential benefits. It has a clearly positive impact on the health of the infected individual, and can also substantially reduce the risk of transmission of the virus to uninfected sexual partners. In this regard, the new data from the START trial strengthen the rationale for "treatment as prevention" programs, providing strong evidence that early ART will benefit the HIV-infected individual in addition to proven effects of reducing the risk of HIV transmission to uninfected sexual partners. Early initiation of ART also can help close a critical gap in the continuum of care for an infected person, or the path from diagnosis to virologic suppression. It is estimated that more than 60% of HIV-infected people in the U.S. are lost to follow-up between the establishment of a diagnosis of HIV infection and the initiation of ART. Starting therapy closer to the time of diagnosis may help close this gap.
Thirty-five million people are currently living with HIV around the world and in 2013 alone 2.1 million people were newly infected with HIV. Although the START trial now provides firm scientific proof of the benefits of early initiation of ART, to achieve full viral suppression for all HIV-infected individuals will require addressing a number of care and treatment challenges including stable access to medications, access to trained healthcare workers, and achieving the high levels of adherence required for ART effectiveness.

Ryley Hansen can do it all
Senior Ryley Hansen takes control of the ball from an NAU player during the game on Oct. 24. Hansen is considered a versatile player for the Wildcats.
(Ariana Berkemeier / The Signpost)
On many sports teams, you have players who play in set positions, set places. In football, wide receivers catch the ball, in soccer, goalies keep the ball out of the net and in baseball, pitchers throw the ball.
Throughout her career, soccer senior midfielder/defender Ryley Hansen has played it all.
"Ryley is what you would call a utility in the soccer world," said head coach Tim Crompton. "Though she is really strong as a central midfielder, she will go and play just about any position we ask of her, and she does it well regardless of the position."
Hansen agrees that one of the things that has helped her thrive in her college career has been that versatility.
"Playing at Weber has given me a chance to really stretch and grow as a player," Hansen said. "It has put me in some interesting situations, and I love the opportunity it has given me to develop."
But for Hansen, her time with Crompton didn't start at Weber.
"I have known coach since I was 5 years old," she said. "Not only has he coached me throughout the years, but he really has become like a second father for me."
Crompton is equally proud of her ability to rise to the challenge, particularly this season.
"This has been a rough season for the team as a whole," Crompton said. "Because of the flexibility and versatility of Ryley, we have been able to make all the needed changes with the lineup that we have asked the girls to do in the absence of several of our starters."
Hansen has had a quiet, yet fruitful career playing for the Wildcats. Since her start as a freshman, she has seen playing time in every single game that the Wildcats have played, including as a starter in the majority of the team's games. In her playing time, she has been involved with six goals for the Wildcats (three goals scored and three assists), and was a key part in a Wildcat defense that only allowed 18 goals her freshman year.
Of the many things that the coaches and training staff have admired about Hansen over the years, one has been her dependability on the field.
"She has been one of the solid players we have grown to trust as she steps on the field," Crompton said. "In the athletic world, it is now becoming a rare thing to see a player who is that dependable. Particularly with this season, her solidarity has been a unifying part of this team."
As Hansen reflects on her final year, she has weighed the good with the bad, and knows that only so much can be said.
"I know that this season has been tough for all of us," Hansen said. "But for each player who will return next year, forget about it and give it your all next year. Use the losses of the past as fuel to help you grow and develop into the player you most want to be, and you will succeed."

Well, how's this for a jam-packed mag?
If you're any kind of petrolhead, you'll be all too familiar with the Mad Max film franchise, not to mention the iconic 'V8 Interceptor' Falcon XB coupe. Like many petrolheads, Roger Whyte always wanted to build one for himself. Although it took him several decades to get there, the replica he's come up with is nothing short of incredible.
If loud and agricultural isn't your cup of tea, you may be more taken by Bradley West's beautiful '64 Impala ragtop. Built to a traditional low-rider aesthetic style, with modern influences in the airbag suspension and eight-stack injected LS1, this is the ultimate summer cruiser.
It may be the same year as Brad's Impala, but when you look at Scott Coffin's Dodge Polara, the two cars are chalk and cheese. Determined to hammer his quarter-mile PBs as low as they can go, with only massive cubes to propel the big old tank, Scott's all-steel streeter is knocking on the door to 10s.
Somewhat less angry, although a whole lot nicer, is Brendon Armstrong's stunning '34 Ford coupe. The serial hot rod builder never really got over selling his old '34, and the only cure was to build one even better. There's no question that he's succeeded, and the only remaining question is how he'll ever top this one!
Last, but not least, is the complete antithesis to Brendon's coupe. Rather than traditional influences in a traditional package, Kev Brooke wanted traditional influences in a modern car, with modern reliability. It may sound like a recipe for disaster, but the tunnel-rammed, throttle-body injected, and NOS-assisted HSV ClubSport R8 is a real-deal late-model muscle car.
Our event coverage is spearheaded by the Trans America Shipping Nostalgia Drags 2017, with a plethora of photos and information on what's gotta be the coolest drag event on the local calendar. It's joined by the high-revving and tyre-destroying Lack-A-Traction Burnouts Taupo, and the season wrap-up of the Enzed Central Muscle Cars from Bruce McLaren Motorsport Park, Taupo.
In addition, our man from the Manawatu, Aaron Mai, went to the Manawatu 4WD Club's Extreme 4x4 Trials to get a closer look at how the Biggs brothers campaigned their purpose-built, LS2-powered off-roader.
And if you're hungry for knowledge, we managed to have a look at what the team at Sinco get up to, and the steps involved in crafting a set of custom headers. Get all that, and a whole lot more, in the latest issue of NZV8 magazine.


The media presented mobile payment solutions of different providers lately. One of them is TWINT, which currently runs a pilot at SV Group and Coop and will be available to the general public in autumn 2015. What does this payment solution offer, how does it work and what technologies are being used?
The potential of mobile payment includes a lot more than just contactless payment at a point of sale. That's why PostFinance's subsidiary TWINT offers its solution as an integrated payment and shopping app. With TWINT, the customer can pay at the point of sale (by beacon) or also in an online shop (by QR code or token). In the process, TWINT automatically takes account of his loyalty cards and digital coupons. Merchants, on the other hand, profit from mobile marketing functions because they can, e.g., promote their coupons and vouchers individually and targeted. With TWINT, in contrast to solutions of other vendors, the customer does neither need a bank account nor a credit nor a debit card. The solution works independently of any telecom provider (no special SIM necessary) and can be deployed on all common iOS and Android operating systems. You just need to register via mobile phone number to load a prepaid credit and start with the first payment.
The TWINT payment solution is based on BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and beacon technology. BLE is an extension of the industry standard Bluetooth. However, its power consumption is much lower and thus it enables an energy-saving operation mode in mobile devices. In contrast to NFC wireless technology, which other mobile payment providers count on, BLE has the advantage that the payment solution can also be used with iPhones, which are very popular in Switzerland. Similar to NFC credit cards, the payment process with TWINT takes just three to five seconds.
When paying, the point of sale does not communicate directly with the customer's smartphone. Connecting a point of sale system to TWINT is realized indirectly on the backend. Except for the beacon, which is connected via USB interface, no additional hardware needs to be installed at the point of sale. However, the point of sale needs to be connected to the merchant system by internet in order to be able to communicate with the TWINT server (encrypted). The server, in turn, communicates with the TWINT app on the customer's smartphone. If the customer's smartphone has no internet connection, the point of sale serves as communication channel between app and TWINT server.
The payment process at a point of sale via beacon can be roughly divided into two phases: the so-called pairing and the actual payment. Pairing gets the involved systems (customer smartphone, TWINT server and merchant point of sale system) to correctly identify "which customer is at which point of sale". To this purpose, the customer opens his TWINT app and places his smartphone briefly next to the beacon. This is typically done before totaling the amount. This early pairing, in which information about loyalty cards and coupons can already be transmitted, allows for a faster process in the second phase, the payment.
The beacon's transmitted advertisement packets, including the beacon ID, can be detected in up to two meters distance. However, the TWINT app's ranging is set so that the pairing takes place only when the smartphone is at close range (a few centimeters). Once the pairing is initiated, the beacon stops transmitting advertisement packets, i.e., no other smartphone can connect to the beacon. Thus, the point of sale can serve only one customer at a time during the payment process. In this way, the payment process is protected from being disturbed by other smartphones and their users or even from being abused.
The TWINT app transmits the received beacon ID to the TWINT server. The server identifies the point of sale and the customer can be assigned to it in the backend. Then, the server returns a confirmation message to the smartphone, which is shown in the app. At the same time, the point of sale learns from the beacon that a pairing takes place and requests the customer's loyalty information from the TWINT system.
After pairing, the pending payment is triggered by the merchant via TWINT. The objective of this payment phase is to transfer an amount from a customer's TWINT account to the merchant's TWINT account. A transaction starts when the merchant sends a payment request with the due amount and currency to the TWINT backend. Because of the existing pairing, the customer who must pay the due amount is known on the server side and a corresponding message is sent to the TWINT app. It shows the amount payable along with information about the merchant. Depending on the customer's security settings, the system directly authorizes the payment or the customer confirms the amount manually or by entering a PIN, and the TWINT app forwards this to the backend. The transaction is completed on the TWINT server, and the point of sale can query the status of the payment. In conclusion, both the point of sale and the TWINT app display a success or error message.
The security in TWINT is ensured by means of the system's architecture and the special SmartBeacons used. The system is designed so that no sensitive data is exchanged via beacons. The beacon simply determines at which merchant and at which point of sale the customer wants to pay. All security-related transactions are carried out in the backend, which is protected according to banking standards.
The identity of a beacon (beacon ID), which is transmitted by the beacon in the advertisement packets, consists of a UUID, major and minor ID. With SmartBeacons you can configure this beacon ID. It is assigned to a point of sale upon registration and can be changed in consultation with the merchant at any time, e.g., in case of suspected circulation of a copy of the beacon. The beacon's memory contains a private key which is used for the beacon's secure identification. The identity is verified by means of a challenge response procedure. When a beacon gets stolen, the private key and the beacon ID are lost because the power supply via the USB port is interrupted. The loss is limited to the hardware without any system-relevant information.
TWINT positions its payment solution enriched with value-added services as a shopping app. With skillful use of new technologies TWINT allows safe, fast and convenient payment by smartphone.

MEET OUR NEW INTERN RUSSELL!
My name is Russell and I am a seventeen-year-old rising senior in the International Baccalaureate magnet program at Richard Montgomery High School.
Since I was very young my parents have given me the opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors through activities like sailing, biking, backpacking, and kayaking. I have spent most of my summers learning about and enjoying the unique and beautiful ecology of the Chesapeake Bay and from these experiences I have developed my deep love for our natural environment and a commitment to protecting it.
Through past internships, I have focused on my love for nature and environmental protection. At ecoAmerica, I helped organize the National Latino Climate Leadership Forum and the American Climate Leadership Summit. During the 2016 elections, I interned for the pro-environment candidate Jamie Raskin and helped him to win his congressional race. Participating in a Spanish immersion program at school has also given me the fluency useful to build relationships with Spanish speakers in my community and globally. And now I am excited to be working for Maryland LCV's Chispa where I will be able to work with Latino communities in Maryland on environmental issues.
The 2012 release of Tesla's groundbreaking vehicle led to my immense passion for electric cars, an intersection of my passion for automobiles and the environment. In that same year, I successfully convinced my parents to become early adopters of electric vehicles. I've been lucky to be one of the first of my generation to learn to drive in an electric car and now I am a member of the Electric Vehicle Association of D.C.
In 2016, I began developing the Green Yellow Buses for Montgomery County Public Schools initiative, aimed at creating an electric school bus pilot program in the school system. I look forward to working on the Clean Buses for Healthy Niños campaign as it complements my past and future efforts to make sure we have #CleanRide4Kids in Maryland.
I hope you enjoyed my brief life story, now let's get to work building our sustainable future together in Maryland!

HARRISBURG, Pa. (KYW Newsradio) — A bill to raise the minimum wage in Pennsylvania has cleared a state Senate committee. A vote by the full Senate could come later this week.
The bill would raise the minimum wage to levels far less than those favored by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf and other advocates. The governor has proposed raising it to $12 an hour, with gradual increases of 50 cents to an eventual $15 an hour.
The majority leader of the Republican-controlled Senate has said he's open to a "reasonable" increase, but he said the governor's proposal didn't fit that bill.
Now, the state Senate Labor and Industry Committee has approved a bill that would raise the minimum wage to $8 an hour in July, with gradual increases to $9.50 an hour by January 2022.

The Atlanta-based Team Type 1 has signed four European riders from current or former ProTour or European Continental teams to its 17-man roster for the 2010 season. Spanish all-rounder Javier Mejias Leal makes the move from Fuji-Servetto, a ProTour team. Dutch sprinter Thomas Rabou transfers from the Continental Rabobank team and Russian Alexey Shmidt is moving from the Junost Moscow after previously riding for the Katusha Continental team. Finally, Martijn Verschoor is jumping over from the Dutch continental team Slenema & Co. Belastingadviseur. The team hopes the four will introduce some international flavour and experience and play a part in moving the squad up the National Racing Calendar (NRC) ranks in 2010.
The Cyclingnews guide to rider transfers
"Ultimately, this means we'll be reaching out to more people to spread our mission that people can take control of their diabetes through diet, exercise and the best technology available today," said Type 1 Sports Director Vassili Davidenko.
Team Type 1 was co-founded three years ago by two young athletes, Phil Southerland and Joe Eldridge, who themselves live with Type 1 diabetes. Southerland spent the better part of the 2009 season seeking out riders like Mejias Leal. The Spaniard was also born with Type 1 diabetes and fits in well with the squad's goal of bring international awareness of the disease through professional cycling.
"The real highlight is signing the new rider in Mejias who will be capable of winning big races," said Southerland. "We've had a great job getting our message out. Now adding him into the mix will is to get in the big races and, beyond that, reach the international market."
The squad have announced a complete roster of 17 riders for the 2010 season, four of whom live with Type 1 diabetes. In addition to Mejias Leal, fellow newcomer Verschoor and returning riders Joe Eldridge and Fabio Calabria live with Type 1 diabetes.
Davidenko and new directeur sportif Mike Carter will lead team which include new signings Mejais Leal, Rabou, Shmidt and Verschoor along with Davide Frattini from Colavita-Sutter Home, Thomas Soladay from Mountain Khakis, and Scott Stewart from Team Waste Management.
Returning riders include Fabio Calabria, Michael Creed, Will Dugan, Joe Eldridge, Ken Hanson, Daniel Holt, Aldo Ino Ilesic, Chris Jones, Valeriy Kobzarenko and Shawn Milne.
"The development in roster just came with everyone getting comfortable racing together and what everyone needs to do. It's always a trick to get cohesion with first year riders. We have proven winners and we want to come out of the gate strong," said Davidenko.
"We have typically started slow and ramped up and in April through June when we start winning. I don't want to be slow out of the gate this year. I want them to start a trend and then carry that from the beginning to the end of the season."
In 2009, Team Type 1 won 55 races, finished fourth in the National Racing Calendar (NRC) standings and captured the King of the Mountains title at five races, including the Tour of Missouri. In two seasons, the squad has registered 100 victories and 219 podium finishes.
According to a Team Type 1 press release, Southerland will continue as the team's Chief Executive Officer, but not compete professionally after being sidelined much of the past two seasons by a leg injury. The second-year pro competed in the Amgen Tour of California in 2009 and was part of Team Type 1's winning eight-person team in the Race Across America (RAAM) in 2006 and 2007.
The team will release a drum roll of new sponsors along with a 2010 race schedule at a later date.

Patton Video Game Sparks War Over General's Likeness
In the News Profile
Jennifer Lloyd Kelly, Fenwick & West litigation partner and leader of the gaming and digital media industry team, was quoted by The Recorder in an article about a developing trend in fair use lawsuits involving celebrity likenesses in video games.
The Recorder story focuses on a pending lawsuit brought by CMG Worldwide, Inc. over a video game in which players assume the role of General George Patton. CMG claims that the game's manufacturer, Maximum Family Games LLC, misappropriated Patton's image, to which CMG says it has exclusive rights.
In its analysis, the publication mentions a case brought by former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega over his portrayal in another video game. A Los Angeles judge dismissed that case after determining that the game makers had sufficiently transformed Noriega's image, which was not a key feature in the game.
Asked for her take on the Patton lawsuit in light of the Noriega decision, Kelly told The Recorder that the difference between the late general's reputation and the former dictator's reputation could affect the case outcome. "Patton and Noriega. Not the same," she said.
Kelly also noted that if CMG prevails, there might be a cap on damages, given California's statute on publicity rights after death. The state has a 70-year limit, and the 70th anniversary of Patton's death is just over a year away.

Acting Commissioner of Police Stephen Williams.
Acting Commissioner of Police Stephen Williams is expected to go on two years' accumulated leave by the end of May, which will take him to retirement.
He turns 58 in August.
Williams, whose current acting appointment comes to an end on Saturday, was given an extension which will take him until May, when he is expected to go on long leave. This will clear the way for acting DCP Harold Phillip to act as commissioner pending the recruitment of a new CoP.
Government has the option of buying out the accumulated leave of the acting Commissioner but sources said the matter was discussed at Cabinet level and the idea was rejected. A government source said yesterday that buying out the leave of senior police officers is not an option at this time and those with accumulated leave will be sent on their leave.
Williams, who was one of the finalists for the position of Commissioner, was not the top nominee after the selection process earlier this year.
A Special Select Committee appointed to probe the Police Service Commission's choice for CoP is expected to submit its report by next week. The House of Representatives will then decide the way forward in selecting a CoP and two DCPs.
Well placed sources said the House can either accept the nominee whose name appears second or request that the process is repeated.
Earlier this year, the PSC sent the name of its top nominee for Commissioner to then president Anthony Carmona. The House of Representatives later rejected the PSC's choice of acting DCP Deodat Dulalchan.

Earning A Title
Written by William F. Cody
Category: The Life of Hon. William F. Cody, Known as Buffalo Bill, the Famous Hunter, Scout and Guide An Autobiography
It was about this time that the end of the Kansas Pacific track was in the heart of the buffalo country, and the company was employing about twelve hundred men in the construction of the road. As the Indians were very troublesome, it was difficult to obtain fresh meat for the workmen, and the company therefore concluded to engage the services of hunters to kill buffaloes.
Having heard of my experience and success as a buffalo hunter, Messrs. Goddard Brothers, who had the contract for boarding the employees of the road, met me in Hays City one day and made me a good offer to become their hunter, and I at once entered into a contract with them. They said that they would require about twelve buffaloes per day; that would be twenty-four hams, as we took only the hind-quarters and hump of each buffalo. As this was to be dangerous work, on account of the Indians, who were riding all over that section of the country, and as I would be obliged to go from five to ten miles from the road each day to hunt the buffaloes, accompanied by only one man with a light wagon for the transportation of the meat, I of course demanded a large salary. They could afford to remunerate me well, because the meat would not cost them anything. They agreed to give me five hundred dollars per month, provided I furnished them all the fresh meat required.
Leaving my partner, Rose, to complete our grading contract, I immediately began my career as a buffalo hunter for the Kansas Pacific Railroad, and it was not long before I acquired considerable notoriety. It was at this time that the very appropriate name of "Buffalo Bill," was conferred upon me by the road-hands. It has stuck to me ever since, and I have never been ashamed of it.
During my engagement as hunter for the company--a period of less than eighteen mouths--I killed 4,280 buffaloes; and I had many exciting adventures with the Indians, as well as hair-breadth escapes, some of which are well worth relating.
One day in the spring of 1868, I mounted Brigham and started for Smoky Hill River. After galloping about twenty miles I reached the top of a small hill overlooking the valley of that beautiful stream.
As I was gazing on the landscape, I suddenly saw a band of about thirty Indians nearly half a mile distant; I knew by the way they jumped on their horses that they had seen me as soon as I came into sight.
The only chance I had for my life was to make a run for it, and I immediately wheeled and started back towards the railroad. Brigham seemed to understand what was up, and he struck out as if he comprehended that it was to be a run for life. He crossed a ravine in a few jumps, and on reaching a ridge beyond, I drew rein, looked back and saw the Indians coming for me at full speed and evidently well-mounted. I would have had little or no fear of being overtaken if Brigham had been fresh; but as he was not, I felt uncertain as to how he would stand a long chase.
My pursuers seemed to be gaining on me a little, and I let Brigham shoot ahead again; when we had run about three miles farther, some eight or nine of the Indians were not over two hundred yards behind, and five or six of these seemed to be shortening the gap at every jump. Brigham now exerted himself more than ever, and for the next three or four miles he got "right down to business," and did some of the prettiest running I ever saw. But the Indians were about as well-mounted as I was, and one of their horses in particular--a spotted animal--was gaining on me all the time. Nearly all the other horses were strung out behind for a distance of two miles, but still chasing after me.
The Indian who was riding the spotted horse was armed with a rifle, and would occasionally send a bullet whistling along, sometimes striking the ground ahead of me. I saw that this fellow must be checked, or a stray bullet from his gun might hit me or my horse; so, suddenly stopping Brigham, and quickly wheeling him around, I raised old "Lucretia" to my shoulder, took deliberate aim at the Indian and his horse, hoping to hit one or the other, and fired. He was not over eighty yards from me at this time, and at the crack of my rifle down went his horse. Not waiting to see if he recovered, I turned Brigham, and in a moment we were again fairly flying towards our destination; we had urgent business about that time, and were in a hurry to get there.
The other Indians had gained on us while I was engaged in shooting at their leader, and they sent several shots whizzing past me, but fortunately none of them hit the intended mark. To return their compliment I occasionally wheeled myself in the saddle and fired back at them, and one of my shots broke the leg of one of their horses, which left its rider _hors(e) de combat_, as the French would say.
Only seven or eight Indians now remained in dangerous proximity to me, and as their horses were beginning to lag somewhat, I checked my faithful old steed a little, to allow him an opportunity to draw an extra breath or two. I had determined, if it should come to the worst, to drop into a buffalo wallow, where I could stand the Indians off for a while; but I was not compelled to do this, as Brigham carried me through most nobly.
The chase was kept up until we came within three miles of the end of the railroad track, where two companies of soldiers were stationed for the purpose of protecting the workmen from the Indians. One of the outposts saw the Indians chasing me across the prairie, and gave the alarm. In a few minutes I saw, greatly to my delight, men coming on foot, and cavalrymen, too, came galloping to our rescue as soon as they could mount their horses. When the Indians observed this, they turned and ran in the direction from which they had come. In a very few minutes I was met by some of the infantrymen and trackmen, and jumping to the ground and pulling the blanket and saddle off of Brigham, I told them what he had done for me; they at once took him in charge, led him around, and rubbed him down so vigorously that I thought they would rub him to death.
Captain Nolan, of the Tenth Cavalry, now came up with forty of his men, and upon learning what had happened he determined to pursue the Indians. He kindly offered me one of the cavalry horses, and after putting my own saddle and bridle on the animal, we started out after the flying Indians, who only a few minutes before had been making it so uncomfortably lively for me. Our horses were all fresh and of excellent stock, and we soon began shortening the distance between ourselves and the redskins. Before they had gone five miles we overtook and killed eight of their number. The others succeeded in making their escape. On coming up to the place where I had killed the first horse--the spotted one--on my "home run," I found that my bullet had struck him in the forehead and killed him instantly. He was a noble animal, and ought to have been engaged in better business.
When we got back to camp I found old Brigham grazing quietly and contentedly on the grass. He looked up at me as if to ask if we had got away with any of those fellows who had chased us. I believe he read the answer in my eyes.
Another very exciting hunting adventure of mine which deserves a place in these reminiscences occurred near Saline river. My companion at the time was a man called Scotty, a butcher, who generally accompanied me on these hunting expeditions to cut up the buffaloes and load the meat into a light wagon which he brought to carry it in. He was a brave little fellow and a most excellent shot. I had killed some fifteen buffaloes, and we had started for home with a wagon-load of meat. When within about eight miles of our destination, we suddenly ran on to a party of at least thirty Indians who came riding out of the head of a ravine.
On this occasion I was mounted on a most excellent horse belonging to the railroad company, and could easily have made my escape; but of course I could not leave Scotty who was driving a pair of mules hitched to the wagon. To think was to act, in those days; and as Scotty and I had often talked over a plan of defense in case we were ever surprised by Indians, we instantly proceeded to carry it out. We jumped to the ground, unhitched the mules quicker than it had ever been done before, and tied them and my horse to the wagon. We threw the buffalo hams upon the ground, and piled them around the wheels in such a shape as to form a breastwork. All this was done in a shorter time than it takes to tell it; and then, with our extra box of ammunition and three or four extra revolvers, which we always carried along with us, we crept under the wagon and were fully prepared to give our visitors the warmest kind of a reception.
The Indians came on pell-mell, but when they were within one hundred yards of us we opened such a sudden and galling fire upon them, that they held up and began to circle around the wagon instead of riding up to take tea with us. They however charged back and forth upon us several times, and their shots killed the two mules and my horse; but we gave it to them right and left, and had the satisfaction of seeing three of them fall to the ground not more than fifty yards away. On seeing how well we were fortified and protected by our breastwork of hams, they probably came to the conclusion that it would be a difficult undertaking to dislodge us, for they drew off and gave us a rest, but only a short one.
This was the kind of fighting we had been expecting for a long time, as we knew that sooner or later we would be "jumped" by Indians while we were out buffalo hunting. I had an understanding with the officers who commanded the troops at the end of the track, that in case their pickets should at any time notice a smoke in the direction of our hunting ground, they were to give the alarm, so that assistance might be sent to us for the smoke was to indicate that we were in danger.
I now resolved to signal to the troops in the manner agreed on, and at the first opportunity set fire to the grass on the windward side of the wagon. The fire spread over the prairie at a rapid rate, causing a dense smoke which I knew would be seen at the camp. The Indians did not seem to understand this strategic movement. They got off from their horses, and from behind a bank or knoll, again peppered away at us; but we were well fortified, and whenever they showed their heads we let them know that we could shoot as well as they.
After we had been cooped up in our little fort, for about an hour, we discovered cavalry coming toward us at full gallop over the prairie. Our signal of distress had proved a success. The Indians saw the soldiers at about the same time that we did, and thinking that it would not be healthy for them to remain much longer in that vicinity, they mounted their horses and disappeared down the cañons of the creek. When the soldiers came up we had the satisfaction of showing them five "_good_" Indians, that is dead ones.
Two hours later we pulled into camp with our load of meat, which was found to be all right, except that it had a few bullets and arrows sticking in it.
While I was hunting for the Kansas Pacific railway, I had the pleasure, in the fall of 1867, of meeting the celebrated Kit Carson, one of, if not the oldest and most noted scout, guide, and hunter that our western country has ever produced. He was on his way to Washington. I also met him on his return from the East, and invited him to be my guest for a few days at Hays City, which invitation he accepted. He then proceeded to Fort Lyon, Colorado, near which place his son-in-law, Mr. Boggs, and family, resided. At this time his health was failing, and shortly afterwards he died at Mr. Boggs' residence on the Picket Wire Creek.

Lita Reportedly Had Talks With AEW Last Year
Lita had talks with AEW in 2021 about a possible run in the company, according to a report by Fightful Select.
Fightful says that AEW reached out to Lita last year to appear on at least one show, but both sides were unable to reach a deal. A pitch was reportedly made for Lita to work a program with AEW Women's World Champion Britt Baker at around All Out 2021 in September, and there was a creative plan laid out.
Though the sides didn't reach a deal, things were said to have ended on a positive note and they could still eventually do business, Fightful added.
Lita was on tonight's SmackDown in a segment with Charlotte Flair, and she'll be wrestling in the women's Royal Rumble match later this month. She last wrestled for WWE in 2018.
