Tear down academic silos: Take an 'undisciplinary' approach
Posted on 05/08/2022 by ScienceFatherLeave a Comment on Tear down academic silos: Take an 'undisciplinary' approach
Solving societal problems such as climate change could require dismantling rigid academic boundaries, so that researchers from varying disciplines could work together collaboratively – through an "undisciplinary" approach, a new Cornell study suggests.
Instead of rallying around a specific mission, it's best to incorporate a human approach and fixate on the process to find solutions. The work published May 16 in Nature's Humanities and Social Sciences Communications.
"The research topic is remarkably unimportant as motivation to engage in collaboration, which flies in the face of relying on engagement merely around an important crisis such as climate change," said co-author Johannes Lehmann, Cornell's Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor, School of Integrative Plant Science Soil and Crop Sciences Section, in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
"Collaborating among disciplines effectively is much more about how to approach problems, finding a common way of interacting. That was intriguing," he said. "In academia, we may want to question the way 'disciplines' constrain a common vision."
In the paper, the authors recount how the Soil Factory, a large, unremarkable warehouse on the southern edge of Ithaca, became a collaboration place in 2021 for students, scientists, artists and everyone in between.
The Soil Factory – once an actual soil factory – hosted classes, art installations and exhibitions, experiments in the bionutrient circular economy, Friday night film screenings, salons, chats, outdoor concerts and panel discussions. It dissolved academic boundaries and participants began having conversations about scientific perspectives and community engagement.
Through unstructured workshops, the authors found that who participates tends to be less important than how they interact.
"It's refreshing to be in spaces with people who aim to cross boundaries in their work," said co-author Verity Platt, professor and chair in the Department of Classics in the College of Arts and Sciences, who has an interest in the environmental humanities.
Traveling between science and the arts is inspiring. "Since I work on ancient Greece and Rome, crossing these boundaries helps me think about bigger questions," Platt said. "And it has helped me better reach students majoring in the sciences – but who may be interested in the arts and humanities."
For Rebecca J. Nelson, professor, School of Integrative Plant Science and the Department of Global Development (CALS), one of the original researchers behind the Soil Factory notion, the factory is a node on a much-larger network.
"Our network in and around Ithaca has brought together a wonderful and diverse cast of characters, who come together to work on different things for different reasons, with intersecting interests around environmental issues and a willingness to explore and learn from each other," Nelson said.
"One theme that intrigues me – as well as several of the scientists and artists who spend time at the Soil Factory – has to do with excreta (human waste) and the circular bionutrient economy," Nelson said. "It's a taboo topic that has a lot of potential to address a snarl of contemporary crises. Our local network connects with a global one that actively engages people in the U.S., India, Kenya and elsewhere."
To test the impact of undisciplinary approaches as drivers for engagement, after the workshops the researchers confirmed their results at the Soil Factory experimental center. Lehmann said the results clarified the importance of both synchronous and asynchronous interactions in a common space – like the Soil Factory – large enough to allow uninhibited ideas flow.
"Our process suggests that universities may benefit from tolerating a more-porous structure on behalf of their faculty, staff, student body and especially surrounding communities," Lehmann said. The learning, sharing and catalytic social and intellectual action was understood to have been emergent from the university.
Lehmann said: "The trick behind getting diverse stakeholders from different disciplines into breaking down academic silos is decentralization, dispersion and undisciplining."
In addition to Lehmann, Platt and Nelson, the paper, "Undisciplining the University Through Shared Purpose, Practice and Place," was co-authored by Andrew Freiband, Artists Literacies Institute, Queens; Noliwe Rooks, formerly an associate professor at Cornell, now professor and department chair, African Studies, Brown University; and Nathaniel Stern, professor of art and design, and mechanical engineering, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
Cornellian co-authors are: Katherine L. Dickin, associate professor, Department of Public and Ecosystem Health, College of Veterinary Medicine; Mitchell Glass, lecturer in landscape architecture (CALS) and city and regional planning in the College of Architecture, Art and Planning; Michael Gore, professor and chair, School of Integrative Plant Science (CALS); Juan Hinestroza, the Rebecca Q. Morgan '60 Professor of Fiber Science and Apparel Design, College of Human Ecology; and Aaron Sachs, professor, history (A&S).
Dickin, Glass, Gore, Hinestroza, Lehmann, Nelson, Platt and Sachs are faculty fellows at the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability, which funded this work.

The Controllers of Money, Energy, and Food, Will Control the World: Can You Say 'Covid' and Ukraine False Flags? – "It is best to preface these comments by discussing the fact that the 'covid' scam is not over, and has not permanently disappeared. In fact, most of the planks of the 'covid' agenda are still in place, even though the lockdowns are temporarily over, most businesses that are left are temporarily open, and mask wearing is for the most part not mandated by every government department and bureaucracy. But what about fake 'cases,' what about poisonous bio-weapon injections, what about travel restrictions and bans, what about identification technology, what about tracking, tracing, and testing, and what about rampant inflation due to these and other forms of manipulation?" – Gary D. Barnett – GARY ON THE BIGGER PICTURE AS USUAL. I SUGGEST EVERYONE READ ANY OF GARY'S ARTICLES AS THEY ARE USUALLY SPOT ON. MANY HAVE BEEN LINKED HERE OVER THE YEARS!!!!
Letter to the WHO – "1) Revert to the early 2009 definition of "pandemic," adding back the language whose removal permitted an Orwellian declaration of "pandemic" for a non-threat with near-100% survival: "simultaneous epidemics worldwide with enormous numbers of deaths and illness" Similarly, restore the pre-politicized definition of "herd immunity" and expunge the myth of asymptomatic spread." – Margaret Anna Alice – GREAT POINTS FROM MARGARET ANNA ALICE AS USUAL!!!!!
Health Authorities are the Biggest Obstacle to Solving Covid – "Avoiding Accountability is their only Concern" – Igor Chudov
Testing Mania: Illogical and Harmful – "The president clearly understood that testing healthy people for a disease that did not make them sick made little sense and would only lead to confining them. I agreed with that common sense view, although with important exceptions, and sitting in the Oval Office I explained the absurd extension of the logic of "test, test, test." What was the "necessary" number, anyway? One million per day? Not even close. One hundred million per day? Nope. How about everyone in the country—330 million per day, every day. Even if you could accomplish that goal, the tests themselves were only a snapshot in time. Seconds later, any given person could become infected. So 330 million per day, every fifteen minutes—maybe that would satisfy the testing mania! No matter how many tests were performed, there would never be enough. " – Scott W. Atlas, M.D.

Bumbling Joe Biden is a threat to world peace – "Bumbling Joe Biden isn't funny anymore. It might be amusing when your crazy uncle blurts out something unexpected at a family dinner. But when the most powerful man on Earth does it? Not so much. Yesterday, 'in passing', as the Guardian put it, President Biden referred to Russia's war in Ukraine as a 'genocide'. This might just be the dumbest, most ill-advised and lethally consequential thing Biden has said since taking office. It is unclear whether accusing Putin of genocide is White House policy now, or if Biden was just running his mumbling mouth, as is his wont. Pressed by reporters as to whether he really meant to say 'genocide', Biden said: 'Yes, I called it genocide" – Brendan O'Neill

Sanctions on Russia are screwing up the world – "Economic warfare is hitting the poorest the hardest, with the worst prices spike in decades" – Bradley Blankenship
Deterrence, China, and the US – "The U.S. should not use its military power to deter China from invading Taiwan. It is unnecessary, and anything more than what is already being done is more likely to help provoke a war than stop one. It might even be better to turn down U.S. enthusiasm a notch or two." – Peter Van Buren
Message From Ukraine — Nukes Do Deter – "In Beijing, this question is surely being debated: If the Americans, who have no treaty commitment to defend Ukraine, are inhibited by the threat of war with a nuclear-armed Russia into limiting their military aid to Ukraine, will the Americans be similarly intimidated by a nuclear-armed China — from going to war for Taiwan?" – Patrick J. Buchanan
The West Needs WWIII (VIDEO) with Martin Armstrong – "They are increasing the pressure on just about everything under the sun. The West needs World War III. They just need it. The real problem here is they went to negative interest rates in 2014 in Europe. They have been unable to stimulate the economy, and Keynesian economics have completely failed. These morons with covid . . . with lockdowns, ended up destroying the supply chains. . . . Things that are there, I buy extra of because next time it might be gone. So, everybody is increasing their hoarding. . ." – Greg Hunter – MARTIN ON THE BIG PICTURE AS WELL

President Biden Announces New ATF Director Nominee – "I'm sure we all remember David Chipman. He was Biden's first failed attempt at placing a gun-control advocate as the Director of the ATF. However, he couldn't even make it past moderate Democrats in the Senate due to conflicts of interest. But, not surprising, Biden did not take the loss as a sign, he is back with Chipman 2.0. Next on his list of gun grabbers to head the ATF is U.S. Attorney Steve Dettelbach. Dettelbach ran unsuccessfully for Ohio attorney general in 2018 after serving as US attorney in the state." Democrats sure do love to find ways to push through people that U.S. citizens do not like, don't they? If the people won't vote for them, they will just appoint them to high power positions. So much for democracy. Is Dettelbach a Gun Grabber? Yes. Yes, He Is." – Joshua Swanagon

Robert Reich Goes Full Orwellian: More Freedom is Tyranny – "The same figures are now alarmed that Elon Musk could gain greater influence over Twitter and, perish the thought, restore free speech protections to the site. The latest is former labor secretary under President Clinton, Robert Reich, who wrote a perfectly Orwellian column in the Guardian titled "Elon Musk's vision for the internet is dangerous nonsense." However, the column offers an insight into the anti-free speech mentality that has taken hold of the Democratic party and the mainstream media." – Jonathan Turley
America Moving From A Permission Society To A Repressive Regime – "The Democrats who for now dominate policy making in Washington believe there is nothing so private that they cannot regulate, nothing so personal that it can't be intruded upon. The only question is the pace of the arrogation of our freedoms. They have to be taken down in increments, so that the country won't notice the slippery slope toward tyranny. In many cases, often regarding energy and conservation policies, restrictions are even celebrated by the loudest factions to help numb the public to the constant attacks on liberty." – I & I Editorial Board
Ten Steps to Totalitarianism – "Does anybody still think totalitarianism can't happen here? Ask yourself how many of these steps we've already galloped past. " – J.B. Shurk
Washington's Wedding Album From Hell – "If Russia were discovered to have slaughtered Ukrainian brides, grooms, officiants, musicians, and family members in eight separate incidents, network news and cable outlets might suspend all other coverage for the next month. But when American air power repeatedly wiped out wedding parties in Afghanistan and at least one each in Iraq and Yemen, there was barely a murmur, even if the New York Post did offer front-page coverage of the last of those under the horrendous headline: "Bride and Boom!"" – Nick Turse
From Paris to Karachi – Regime Change is In the Air – "There is nothing good about war. On this point all civilized people can agree. So, those that support the 'current thing' can stop reading right about…. Now. But one of the things war does is expose everyone's real intentions. Even though the first casualty of war is the truth, nothing clears the air more than than troops and tanks crossing political borders and forcing people to react to such a thing." – Tom Luongo
Was the US involved in Pakistani PM's departure, as he claims? – "To claim Imran Khan's downfall was solely American doing is to ignore reality. But so is to claim the US had nothing to do with it" – Scott Ritter
Two more Pentagon statements on the biolabs in Ukraine: "more pathogens in more places than we recommend…" – "But no "offensive biological weapons." We provide context and correct the approved omissions & distractions. By using public, scholarly, and/or respected journalistic sources. No QAnon here." – Data Humanist – GOOD ARTICLE!!!!
Transcending COVID-19 and the Climate Crisis Deceptions – "Manmade climate change is nothing more than UN, WEF and EU promoted non-evidence-based propaganda. How can I assert this? I worked as a scientist at the UK Government Dept. of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), and at the United Nations Environment Division in Geneva. I resigned from both roles. It was evident that the manipulation and distortion of data had long been used to promote false ideology and deceptive agenda rather than fact. These agendas stem from the top echelons of the international finance, political, and mega-corporate system, and those private central bankers who control the system by owning the source of debt-money creation. The UN is clever marketing tool and unelected unaccountable political mechanism for implementing and maintaining a corrupt worldwide system, under the clever guise of 'fixing the problems of the world'." – Mark Keenan
There's an App for That – "SpeecamAnywhere and it's just the ticket for hiss-screaming Clovers who cannot abide anyone driving faster than they think is fast enough. Or causing their air (as they regard it) to not be "clean" enough. And never mind that "clean" electric cars don't "emit" any gasses while they are "speeding." The point is to create a panopticon of universal compliance – via universal spying – and not just as regards "speeding." It is a technology meant to empower busybodies to monitor – and narc out – anyone they see who is doing anything they dislike." – Eric Peters
Are Governments Secretly Spraying their Citizens? – "Don't look up" – The Naked Emperor
The New Human created by technocracy: bio-digital convergence – "People immersed in "the digital world" will no longer view biology as VITAL AND ALIVE and the digital as MECHANICAL AND DEAD. Instead, living biology will just be one more territory to be manipulated; like a machine that can be improved. Therefore, the whole concept that LIFE IS VIOLATED by manipulating it and altering it radically…will fade out and go away. The idea that biology is one thing and the digital is another will vanish." – Jon Rappoport
'They Tried to Kill Me,' Biologist Who Exposed Dangers of Roundup Weedkiller Tells RFK, Jr. – "In an interview on "RFK Jr. The Defender Podcast," biologist Gilles-Éric Séralini talked with Robert F.

Data compiled by Bloomberg suggest that at the end of 2021 there were only two investors in Deutsche Bank that own sufficient shares for such a large sale: BlackRock Inc. and Capital Group. BlackRock is largely a passive investor and most of its stake is tied to Deutsche Bank's membership in various stock indexes and thus can't be sold as one." – Swetha Gopinath – WAS IT BECAUSE OF RUSSIAN EXPOSURE OR DERIVATIVES EXPOSURE.

An Overview of SAP S/4HANA Finance with a Focus on Asset Accounting
by Anurag Barua, Independent SAP Advisor
Learn how your organization can leverage the functionality of the new Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module in SAP S/4HANA Finance.
Reading this article, you will learn:
The evolution of SAP S/4HANA Finance (formerly SAP Simple Finance) and key features
Facts about the new Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module in SAP S/4HANA Finance, including differences with classic FI-AA, migration, implementation, and other key considerations
SAP S/4HANA Finance (formerly SAP Simple Finance) comes with a lot of features, such as the universal journal, streamlined design, and real-time analytics. The new Asset Accounting (FI-AA) module is one example of a financial module that has been redesigned in the S/4HANA suite to increase process efficiencies across the life cycle of an asset.
Since SAP announced the release of SAP S/4HANA Finance (then called SAP Simple Finance) in early 2014, there has been a lot of confusion on what this product was all about. Most people, including those who were SAP customers, thought that it was a Financial Accounting and Controlling (FI/CO) sub-module that was in some way simpler to configure than the effort currently required in the ERP suite.
Having encountered the confusion around SAP S/4HANA Finance, I decided to put together a summary of what SAP S/4HANA Finance means from a business perspective. First, to understand what SAP S/4HANA Finance is, it is essential to understand SAP's journey with SAP HANA, as SAP HANA is inextricably linked to not only SAP S/4HANA Finance but also SAP's DNA.
What Is SAP S/4HANA Finance?
Before I answer this question, let me explain what SAP S/4HANA is. It is the SAP ERP 6.0 suite that is fully capable of running on an SAP HANA database. SAP S4/HANA Finance takes that a step further. Certain key components of the former FI/CO suite have been recoded so that they can take full advantage of SAP HANA's potential. SAP Simple Finance (version 1.0) that was released in 2014 was the add-on SAP HANA-optimized version for the Financial Accounting module in SAP Business Suite. In comparison, SAP Simple Finance 2.0 is part of the SAP S/4HANA product that was released in 2015. SAP Simple Finance 2.0 is the redesigned and recoded successor of SAP Simple Finance 1.0.
Today S/4HANA Finance is available as both on-premise and cloud versions. The cloud version is continuously enhanced in approximately quarterly releases. The 1503 release was followed by 1505, 1508, and 1511. (For those of you who have not figured this out yet, in the new numbering convention the first two digits are for the year (2015 in this case) and the last two digits pertain to the month of the year. The on-premise version is enhanced on a yearly basis.
As of September 2015, the term SAP Simple Finance is obsolete. It has been replaced with the term SAP S/4HANA Finance. For the rest of the article, I use the term S/4HANA Finance and focus on the S/4HANA Finance on-premise version, in particular the 1503 release formerly known as Simple Finance 2.0.
Since SAP S4/HANA Finance is part of the S/4HANA suite, it is important to understand what S/4HANA consists of. SAP S/4HANA consists of four components:
The functional/core component: SAP provides the various finance capabilities and enhancements as part of the functional/core component. You need to be on at least SAP NetWeaver 7.4, SAP ERP Central Component (ECC) 6.0 Enhancement Package 7, and SAP HANA version 1.0 to be able to consider a migration or upgrade to S/4HANA. A migration to S/4HANA from ECC 6.0 is a functional upgrade that involves the migration of transactional tables.
The presentation/user experience (UX) component: This SAP Fiori-based GUI component helps you interact with the core component through the user-friendly Fiori screens. It requires SAP NetWeaver 7.4 and SAP Gateway version 2.0. Note that this is an optional component and you can continue with your existing SAP GUI or NetWeaver Business Client as your user interface.
The reporting/analytics component: This component enables real-time reporting and analytics using pre-packaged HANA Live views. The prerequisites for installation are SAP HANA Live 1.0 for SAP ERP and SAP HANA. This too is an optional component.
App component: This component is a collection of analytical applications in the Financials suite for key financial decision-makers in an enterprise.
Let us now look at some of the key S/4HANA facts.

National Security / Mark Alexander / September 8, 2016
Clinton Announces, 'It's Over, Period'!
Hillary may not want to answer more questions, but it ain't over.
In a slow-pitch softball interview with her adoring fan, ABC's David Muir, Hillary Clinton announced this week that there is no need to ask any more questions about her motives for concealing her communication. She declared that because the FBI released some notes from their interview with her, she's "happy it's over."
In my column, "Clinton the 'Congenital Liar,'" I covered the most damning evidence from those heavily redacted FBI files about Clinton's effort to conceal all of her official communications while secretary of state. Only in Clinton's warped universe could the release of this information mean "it's over, period."
In excerpts from the ABC interview, most of her responses are classified "L" for "Lie," so instead of redactions, I have annotated them for clarity.
CLINTON: "What I did has raised questions for people, and I deeply regret that. [She regrets getting caught.] And that's why I said there's no excuses. [All she has done for 18 months is make excuses.] I took responsibility a year ago. [No she didn't.] I take responsibility today. [No she doesn't.] I made a mistake. I've apologized for it. [Not really.] And I'm just happy it's over, because that's, you know, the end of what's been, you know, a very difficult period. [It's not over.]"
MUIR: "When Americans hear [about your effort to erase servers and destroy smart phones], do you think that feeds into what the FBI director said about you, that you were 'extremely careless' with your emails?"
CLINTON: "Well, I hope not, because I take classification very seriously. [Apparently not.] Always have, ever since I was on the Senate Armed Services Committee some years ago. [Apparently not.] And what I want people to understand is really two things. I take responsibility. I have learned that trying to explain what happened made it sound to some people like I was trying to excuse it. [Again, because all she has done for 18 months is make excuses.] There are no excuses. I take responsibility, I made a mistake, I've apologized and obviously I wish I could do differently what happened. [Again, now that you got caught.] … I take classification seriously and I think the record shows that I have. [Actually, not.]"
Muir asked a few more easy questions about the FBI file.
CLINTON: "I'm glad that the FBI has released this material. [No she's not.] Our campaign called for them to release it. [No they did not.] Because we didn't want selective cherry-picking and leaks coming from Republicans on the Hill. [It's all a 'vast right wing conspiracy.'] We wanted people to be able to see it and at the end of all of their investigation the FBI concluded there was no basis for any further action. [Based on the limited information from the interview — in which Clinton was not under oath.]"
MUIR: "The director also thought you were extremely careless. Do you agree with him?"
CLINTON: "Well, I respectfully disagree…"
Does this interview sound like somebody "taking responsibility" or more like a parole hearing for somebody fishing for a pardon? Maybe she's practicing…
For the record, here's Title 18 USC §2071: "Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally — (a) Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record … filed or deposited with … any public office … shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. (b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record … willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and SHALL FORFEIT HIS OFFICE AND BE DISQUALIFIED FROM HOLDING ANY OFFICE UNDER THE UNITED STATES."
Of course, within hours of the FBI interview with Clinton, Director James Comey determined there was no evidence of concealment or criminal intent. What alternate universe does he inhabit?

The Nereides Project aims to create an interactive multi-sensory device the acts as a multi-port USB charger while providing inter- and intra-active behaviour.
This page will be updated as the project progresses. Last update: 2008-02-04.
Proximate module sensing (visible and IR light communications).
These are stacked within the enclosure.
The main board centers around an XMEGA while the sensor board uses a dedicated co-processor (a small ATTiny MCU). On-board communication is SPI and I2C whereas intra-module comms are through visible and infrared light.
A first stage pass involves laying out the circuitry and assembly of prototypes for the various boards. The main and sensor boards both have a diameter of 10cm and a center mounting hole, defining CD-like disk PCBs. In order to communicate with up to 6 sensor pods, which may all host devices with identical I2C addresses, and I2C multiplexer is used.
Each USB receptacle provides 2 USB A ports, allowing for simultaneous charging of up to 6 devices.
Security and privacy considerations kept us away from actually using USB communications channels, so presence detection is done through current sensing on each of the USB ports.
The sensor pod design is flexible in that each pod is access through an independent I2C channel. This implies that we could construct a variety of sensor pods for different uses without requiring modifications to the hosting hardware.
At this point, the sensor pods have, at a minimum, an RGB/light sensor and may optionally possess an IR emitter or receiver.
and then, finally creating firmware to utilize each subsystem. More details and a video demonstration will be available shortly.

El Gabinet Dupong-Krier va formar el govern de Luxemburg del 5 de novembre de 1937 al 10 de maig de 1940.

El gabinet es va formar després de la renúncia del gabinet Bech, a causa del resultat d'un referèndum sobre l'anomenat Maulkuerfgesetz (llei mordassa).

Va ser un gran govern de coalició entre el Partit de la Dreta i el Partit dels Treballadors. Inicialment, els liberals també van participar, però Étienne Schmit va morir el 19 de desembre de 1937. N'hi va haver aleshores una reorganització el 7 de febrer de 1938 i una altra més el 6 d'abril 1940, quan Victor Bodson es va fer el càrrec de la cartera de René Blum.

Durant la invasió alemanya de Luxemburg el 10 de maig de 1940, tots els membres del govern, a part de Nicolas Margue van aconseguir travessar la frontera i anar a l'exili.

Sometimes I wonder if at the recruitment center for elderly Chinese kung fu masters one of the requirement is a super wide smile. Because that is exactly how master Di Guo Yong welcomed me, and what I have experienced so many times with other teachers before. I went to Beijing with a clear goal in my mind: modern wushu, and I did not expect to meet a group practicing traditional style of Xing Yi at the backyard of the building block.
Master Di's long-term student and technical manager for IWUF, Byron Jacobs, invited me to see the "Saturday's practice". This group meets regularly every weekend on Saturday and Sunday morning, outside on the cobblestones, no matter what weather it is. "There is cold, cold, cold. Two weeks spring. And hot, hot, hot," another foreigner said with a hero face. I was feeling cold in February, but that was already after the snow was gone. Difficult to imagine how they practice in such environment. "No one else do, only us," he said laughing.
The group consisted of three foreigners and Chinese men in their retirement age except for one young guy. Two of the foreigners live in Beijing and are fluent both in Chinese, as well as in adapting to the local way of life. One of them in a joke pointed out that the visiting friend of theirs is wearing fei yue shoes, a favorite footwear for martial artists; not so great for almost frozen Beijing concrete.
Di Guo Yong shifu approached me with a big smile and encouraged me several times to ask questions. No one needed to encourage him to flood me with his own Chinese, fortunately the students hurried up to help and translated.
The training was a typical example of traditional style's practice. To start with, there was no "structure" and no time limit. I am not saying that it was a chaos; each student did his own thing and the shifu went around and corrected. It was like an individual lesson in a group a of people. The training was over when it was time for a lunch and shifu announced he is leaving. When we arrived, people were stretching and warming up and some more came later. Each of the student independently started working on his own skills; there was no group practice. Sometimes people crossed hands and went through the applications, other times they moved continuously in between the form, basics and conditioning. They all trained in their free time and meet each other on weekends; in traditional wushu it is not so common to teach full-time.
It was surprising for me to see that the forms were not practiced the most of the time; I saw them but much less than I would expected. Major part of the training took basics and principles, single movements and core motions, repeated and repeated. The pace was in the hands of practitioners. However, it was much more convenient to keep moving to not to freeze.
ere was one spear, long and heavy, that few of the participants use. Except for that, few bricks from the near wall served as weight for weight training, and I especially liked the elastic ropes. People used them for both kicking and punching, stretched over the back or attached to a firm object. "For the feeling," they said, when one of them attached the elastics to his leg and practiced the punch with stepping forward. They offered me to try that, so I did, not having much idea what should the correct technique look like. Definitely my leg had more feeling than my zero technique was able to bear.
Master Di Guo Yong did not lose his positivism during the practice and even after few hours on the wind he was fresh and smiling. "When the day is windy, don't crouch. Stand tall!" he said. The foreign student explained to me that he is a very caring person and laughed: "In winter he would pull up your trousers to see if you are wearing enough." My guide then noted that even though he is famous, it is not so easy to find him. The best option is to come through someone's recommendation.
Here is a video about Xing Yi and Master Di's long term student Byron Jacobs, living and practicing in Beijing.

Ryan Keberle Double Quartet
When I sat down with Ryan to talk to about this record, I could not resist asking him about "the trombone problem" — i.e., the instrument's lamentable underrepresentation in jazz, dating from pretty much the end of the big band era. I know many serious jazz musicians and fans who don't own a single trombonist-led album — not even stone classics like The Eminent Jay Jay Johnson or Grachan Moncur's Evolution.
Trombonists themselves are acutely aware of this, even legends like Bob Brookmeyer: "Sax players got all the girls because they were seated in the front row. Trumpeters got all the money because they were driving the band from the back row. Trombones sit in the middle and develop an interior life." (Brookmeyer, I should point out, ditched the slide instrument in favor of the valve trombone early on.) But the trombone problem is about more than just lousy PR — there are fearsome technical obstacles to playing fluently in a contemporary jazz language on the trombone. Which certainly didn't stop Ryan from trying: "I was one of those guys who didn't listen to trombone records for a long time. For many years I was transcribing all saxophones and trumpets, then I got into pianists like Brad Mehldau and guitarists like Kurt Rosenwinkel… but really, you can't play that stuff on trombone. You can play some of it, sure, but ultimately it's going to sound like an approximation, rather than something that really stands on its own." However, at the ripe age of 29, Ryan has finally made his peace with his horn: "I've had a realization —I'm glad I play the trombone. I feel very much in touch with it. I've stopped trying to play like a saxophone or a piano. Now, I'm listening to myself more. What I'm playing is what I'd be singing."
The results of this shift in approach are evident in his dark, unburnished tone, the seamless flow of his phrasing, the architectural curve of his solos, his magnetic sense of groove, and most of all in his commitment to melody.
— Darcy James Argue, 2010

The Naming of the Books 2019
Posted on Dec 30, 2019 by Nick
Presenting a list of all the books I read in 2019! This year the number totals 24. I used the same rules for this list that I always do: I count collections and anthologies, but not individual stories; I count graphic novels and trade comics collections, but not individual comic book issues; and I don't count magazines, only books. So here are the books I read this year, presented in the order in which I read them:
The Isle by John Foster
Rat Queens, Vol. 2: The Far-Reaching Tentacles of N'rygoth by Kurtis J. Wiebe
Rat Queens, Vol. 3: Demons by Kurtis J. Wiebe
Rat Queens, Vol. 4: High Fantasies by Kurtis J. Wiebe
Rat Queens, Vol. 5: The Colossal Magic Nothing by Kurtis J. Wiebe
Nothing is Everything by Simon Strantzas
Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough
Lovecraft: Four Classic Horror Stories by I.N.J. Culbard
The Twilight Pariah by Jeffrey Ford
The Migration by Helen Marshall
Wolf in White Van by John Darnielle
The Clockworm and Other Strange Stories by Karen Heuler
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz
More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz
Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill Your Bones by Alvin Schwartz
X's For Eyes by Laird Barron
Rat Queens, Vol. 6: The Infernal Path by Kurtis J. Wiebe
My Best Friend's Exorcism by Grady Hendrix
The Last Astronaut by David Wellington
Growing Things and Other Stories by Paul Tremblay
The Glittering World by Robert Levy
A Hawk in the Woods by Carrie Laben
The Stand by Stephen King
Home for the Holidays by Randee Dawn
There you have it, the books I read in 2019! Here's looking forward to another book-filled year in 2020!
This slim volume acts as a highly enjoyable sampler of author and journalist Randee Dawn's prose and poetry. There's something for everyone in the six stories in HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, which run the gamut from horror to a Jane Austenish comedy of manners to a deeply emotional autobiographical vignette. My favorite story in the bunch is "Trap Doors," a somewhat surreal, Robert Aickmanesque "strange story" about the holes in our lives, some left behind by absent friends, some offering a place to hide, and some as invasive as surgery. I was also fond of the title story, a tale of ironic comeuppance right out of EC Comics in which two neighbors angrily and obsessively try to outdo each other's Christmas decorations every year. Dawn's poetry is accomplished as well, with eight selections rounding out the volume. HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS is recommended for anyone looking for a new and versatile author to read. Meanwhile, I eagerly await Dawn's next publication.
What an incredible achievement! I can see why THE STAND is a favorite for many Stephen King fans. As with his other lengthy masterpiece IT, the strength here is in the characters as much as anything else. There are many, many characters in THE STAND, some more memorable than others, but all of them interesting. I think the two I was most fascinated by were Harold Lauder and Nadine Cross. I don't want to spoil anything for those of you who might not have read THE STAND yet, but these two characters have such memorably tragic arcs, half due to their own bad decisions and half due to simple, ugly destiny, that they really stuck out for me. Of course, I loved Stu and Glen and Frannie, too! (My feelings about Larry Underwood are more complicated, although he certainly proved himself to be a better person by the end.)
I even had some sympathy for poor old Trashcan Man, and that's something that speaks to the strength of King's abilities as a writer. He populates Randall Flagg's Las Vegas not just with madmen and criminals, as you might imagine a stronghold of evil to be, but with lots of characters who are worthy of sympathy, even more than Trashcan Man is. King seems to be saying that even decent people can make the wrong choice or be caught up in the grinding wheels of fate. If there's one sin the denizens of Las Vegas might share, however, it's cowardice, as even those who have a moral compass and know Flagg is a monster are too scared to do anything about it, and so they blindly follow his orders, swallowing their consciences one bit at a time.
As riveted as I was by the novel in general, a section in the middle dragged for me, the part when Stu and the others are setting up committees and a rudimentary governmental system for the Free Zone. But even that has an important role to play later, and one could say THE STAND is really far more about the journey than the destination.
The edition I read was the original Signet paperback from 1980, so old and well-loved that its cover is held together with Scotch tape at this point, but I loved the novel enough that I think someday I might check out the "complete and uncut" edition that came out in 1990. I certainly wouldn't mind spending time with these characters again.
The Scariest Part: Ray Clark Talks About IMPURITY
This week on The Scariest Part, I'm pleased to welcome back Ray Clark, whose newest book is the re-release of Impurity, the first novel in the continuing DI Gardener series. Here is the publisher's description:
A murder with no weapon or motive. A detective on edge. A community that wants answers.
One fateful night when off duty, DI Stewart Gardener intervenes in a street brawl and his wife is shot dead.
Trying to come to terms with this, he gradually returns to normal duties policing the streets of Leeds. Finding his wife's murderer is never far from his mind, but with no leads and a hazy recollection of events, it seems hopeless.
Soon he is presented with a shocking case. A man is found dead in a grubby apartment, having been killed in the cruellest of ways. It is not long before another man meets the same fate.
The deaths are caused by a rapid and violent disintegration of the victims' flesh. Pathology cannot ascertain the cause.
The only connection between the victims is they both worked seasonally as Santas, dressing up as Father Christmas and entertaining kids in grottos and such like. Who would want to kill such innocuous men as these?
The detective is flummoxed. The local community is ruffled. The press is having a field day. The top brass wants answers. Can DI Gardener overcome his grief and solve the case?
And now, let's hear what the scariest part was for Ray Clark:
"Is your book scary?" she asked me, and before I'd had time to think about the answer, she said, "It looks it."
And then came the next question: "Tell me," she said, leaning forward, "what's the scariest part?"
As I was desperately trying to think of an answer, I suddenly thought, being asked that question is — unless you count seeing the rejection slip landing in the morning post (or should I say your inbox nowadays).
When I think back to the time I spent researching Impurity, it came down to one clinical point: harbouring a very dark secret for many years, and then being found out.
Imagine living in constant fear of it: looking over your shoulder every day, spending your spare time in a guilt ridden slumber, working with people who think they know you, when all along, they wouldn't give you the time of day if they knew the truth. You were doing wrong and you knew you were, but you couldn't stop yourself; knowing that the past will eventually catch up with you, and when it does it won't be very nice: because you'll either be facing the person you wronged — or the police!
That is very much what happens in Impurity. When Detective Inspector Stewart Gardener investigates the discovery of a body in a run-down Victorian property in a suburb of Leeds, he knows he's in for a tough time: ashen faced police constables testify to that.
Nothing could have prepared him for what lay ahead.
The corpse of a seasonal worker living in very tatty conditions is bad enough, but someone has gone to great length to eradicate them by administering a flesh-consuming drug, resulting in the victim's rapid and violent disintegration. Furthermore, pathology is unable to ascertain the cause. As the novel progresses you realize the scariest part concerns the victim: he's still alive whilst it's happening, and fully aware of the effect it's having on his body, because it's already been explained to him.
The really frightening thing for me however, is that after having spent considerable time with a chemist, I came to the conclusion that it might just be possible to achieve what the book is offering.
Now that is the scariest part!

Power Finance Corporation (PFC) said, it has completed the buyout of fellow PSU Rural Electrification Corporation (REC). The next step is to enable synergies and eventually merge the two, according to top company officials.
Last year, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs had approved the strategic sale of the government's 52.63 per cent shareholding in REC to PFC, along with transfer of management control.
The merger to happen soon and the merged entity will remain a government company with 51 per cent shareholding of the government. Sources said, the acquisition price of REC works out to ₹139.50 a share. PFC has acquired 103.94 crore shares held by the government in REC at this price for ₹14,500 crore.
With this, PFC will be the holding company of REC and also its promotor. PFC has financed this deal majorly, i.e, around 70 per cent from cash inflows from the business and the balance 30 per cent through debt.
"The acquisition is bringing PFC with a significant inorganic growth opportunity, whereby, on a consolidated basis, PFC's asset book, income, profit etc. would be almost doubled.

CAYCE, S.C. -- You won't catch the coach of the 14U Intermediate team from Spring Branch, Texas, checking the scoreboard and adding up games during this weekend's USTA Junior Team Tennis National Championships.
While there are some teams that have their sights on winning a national title, Zimbabwe native Kudakwashe Sengai, who goes by Kuda, said his team is just happy to be at the event taking place at the Cayce Tennis Center and the Lexington County Tennis Complex outside Columbia.
"It's been amazing, really," Sengai (pictured above with his 14U squad) said. "The kids have really enjoyed it, and it's all about the experience. We have a really young team and they're doing well. We've won some matches and lost some, but they're playing against some of the best kids in the States.
Sengai, 27, is the director of tennis at a growing nonprofit tennis association about 30 miles north of San Antonio. The Spring Branch Tennis Association has four courts and is building two more with the hopes of eventually becoming a 10-court facility.
Sengai grew up leaning the game at a tennis academy in Mutare, Zimbabwe, which has had some well-known coaches in Africa teach there, including former WTA player Cara Black. Other top players from Zimbabwe who had success on the ATP World Tour include the Black brothers, Wayne and Byron, and Kevin Ullyett from the town of Harare, some 200 miles from where Sengai grew up.
Sengai played some professional ITF Futures and Challengers after his junior career and ended up at John Newcombe's Tennis Ranch in New Braunfels, Texas. He met the Our Lady of the Lake University tennis coach while there, and shortly after he was admitted to school and anxious to play for on the men's tennis team. He played No. 1 singles and doubles for the NAIA school based in San Antonio, and the team reached a high of No. 21 in the national rankings.
Sengai, who earned his psychology undergraduate degree in 2013, was reunited with his parents Ana and Edward at graduation following six years apart. He is currently finishing up his master's degree in nonprofit marketing.
Sengai said money kept him from spending more time traveling the world and playing on tour. "The problem is the funding is just not there after the juniors for guys to go out on tour," said Sengai, who was aided by a local sponsor named Ann Martin during his short professional career.
For now, however, Sengai is focused on this weekend in Cayce and the experience it offers for both him and his team.

Kiki Omeili Changes The Trajectory Of Storytelling In Nollywood With New Movie "Run"
By K Trybe 1 year ago
Doctor turned Actor Kiki Omeili best known for her roles in Lekki Wives and the crime caper Gbomo Gbomo Express has raised the bar of NOLLYWOOD storytelling and changed the game with her debut feature film production "RUN".
Shot almost entirely at night on the streets of Lagos,RUN tells the story of an uptight young woman who lives a regimented and structured life until she witnesses something one night that throws her life into chaos and has her running from pillar to post and doing things that she has never done before,trying to get back to her normal life.
RUN is written and produced by Kiki Omeili and directed by prolific director Uche Chukwu. It stars brilliant acts like Kiki Omeili herself,Owen Gee,Kelechi Udegbe,Rotimi Salami,Rotimi Fakunle and more. RUN employs the use of brilliant camera work, excellent cinematography and catchy scores to tell a very compelling story that has a little bit of everything: Action,Drama,Comedy and it thrills you to the very end.
When asked why she embarked on the project, Omeili states that she was compelled to produce "The kind of movie that she would want to be in". "I had seen too much of a certain kind of movie in Nollywood and I wanted to go in a different direction" she states.
She may have a point though as RUN has been selected to screen at several international film festivals including the Silicon valley international film festival in California and the Slum international film festival in Kenya. It is also an award winner at the Toronto international Nollywood film festival in Canada. Furthermore, RUN has several nominations at the Golden Movie Awards Africa to be held in Ghana.
To see what's different about RUN and why it has received so many accolades, it's showing in cinemas Nationwide from AUGUST 23rd.

COLUMBIA - The Roots N Blues N BBQ festival is this weekend in Columbia and will benefit more those in attendance.
The Columbia Convention and Visitors Bureau studies the economic impact of events in the city. This year the bureau will be studying how much revenue the festival generates.
"We will have a team on site at the Roots N Blues N BBQ festival," said the marketing and communications manager Megan McConachie. "We are going to produce economic impact numbers from that. So, hopefully in the next few months we will be able to lock down exactly how much economic impact that festival has on our community."
The festival will have 30 artists from different musical genres: country, blues, rock, gospel, folk, bluegrass and soul. The performers are international, national, regional and local artists.
Richard King, part owner of Thumper Entertainment, said the festival is economically good for Columbia.
"I know several hotels are full up," King said. "I do think it has a positive impact on the financials in Columbia."
McConachie said events in Columbia stimulate the economy in numerous ways.
"Not only are people spending the night at our hotels," McConachie said. "They're eating at our restaurants, shopping at our stores, filling up at our gas stations before they leave so there's a community wide economic impact from an event like this."
King said it's the music that draws people to the festival nationally and globally.
"There was a group of folks last year that was coming to the United States to go to a festival in Nashville," King said. "They came across the Roots N Blues festival. They called us up and like, 20 people from Australia showed up to our festival."
Tickets for the Roots N Blues N BBQ can be purchased online, the MU Student center and at the door at the festival box office. The Roots N Blues N BBQ will be held at Stevens Lake Park Friday, Saturday and Sunday.


For tenants living in a property where we assist with the management, should you have an emergency issue out of our office hours for the Easter period, we do have contractors who may be abe to assist you with EMERGENCIES ONLY (damage to property or danger to life) at their own discretion. The contractor will make the decision as to whether a call out request is an emergency requiring immediate attention.
Please understand that there will be limitations on what contractors can do over the Easter period due to suppliers/merchants being closed.
Please ensure that you are experiencing a true emergency (damage to property or danger to life) and that the issue cannot be resolved when normal working hours commence Tuesday 23rd April 2019. Please remember that if a contractor is called out as an emergency when this is not justified, you will unfortunately be liable for all costs which will be charged at bank holiday rates.
Please be aware that the above third party local contractors do not hold or have access to individual property keys. If you are locked out of your home or have mislaid your keys we would recommend you contact a 24hr Locksmith directly.
Many of the properties that we manage have British Gas Homecare cover or similar policies in place as well as some landlords having their own preferred contractors, so please check the information letter you were given when you moved into the property, if your rental property does have a call out policy or specific instructions/contractors, you will need to contact the relevant company and not a Royston & Lund nominated contractor, as per your landlord's wishes. If you need to refresh yourself with regard to whether your rental home has specific contractors/call out policies please contact the office before the Thursday 18th April 2019 to check your records.

Tomorrow could be a big day for price direction in agricultural commodity markets as the February USDA report is set to deliver a heaping helping of data for traders to process. The usual "calm before the storm" was upset today as European growth forecasts were sharply cut and news broke from Washington that President Trump and Xi would likely "not" meet face to face prior to the scheduled "tariff" deadline of March 1.
Today's video is intended to give you a few key price levels to be aware of, which could be construed as "tipping points" for potential trend direction.

Oct 15, 2012The fuse box cover will be made of stainless steel to hide and protect the fuses/relays. I know with my luck doing a pannel simalar to that one I would end up needing to add addtional relays to the pannel and would have to redesign a new one for the addtional relays,fuse,etc..


Munich is a city of constant eating. In the early morning folks hurry along with a good coffee and a fresh donut to go. Those with the time find a spot in a café at Marienplatz for a lingering breakfast. Do you prefer continental, healthy, sweet, or Bavarian? Doesn't matter, they're all available!
Beginning the day with white veal sausage and wheat beer will, however, provide you with a certain relaxed weightiness that perfectly matches our humanely leisurely city tempo. In between maybe grab a big buttered pretzel or a proper hot bologna roll. At noon, choose from roast pork, meatloaf, river trout, grilled sausages, or crunchy fresh market salads. Local producers manage to put an amazing variety of foods on our plates. In the afternoon, we are tempted by Bavarian sausage and cheese specialty plates with hearty bread - or by heavenly cakes.
And in the evening? The Munich bars chug merrily along, ranging from rowdy and rustic medieval meals to the quieter romance of - oh yes - Bavarian haute cuisine! End the day with Bavarian tapas or dive into the social life of the city with a bit of glitz and glamor. Munich's real gastronomical highlight is its diversity. We, your Munich city center restaurateurs, invite you to enjoy this variety.
Below you'l find a choice of Munich/Bavarian food related posts. To help you find a good restaurant, bar or cafe in the Bavarina capital, chose the respective section from the menu above.


PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) Veneer Products are available for a range of applications from cabinet refacing to job site repairs. The material is available in standard widths of 24". It is not recommended to join sheets to cover surfaces greater than 24" wide due to possibility of natural movement of the veneer after application.
Remove memory and acclimatize the sheet by laying it flat between two sheets of plywood on the jobsite where it will be applied. Ideal temperatures for application fall between 70 and 80 degrees F. The ideal relative humidity is 35%.
Testing your surface prior to application is highly recommended. The surface must be clean, dry and smooth (free of grease, dust, and wax). PSA will stick to lacquered, varnished, or enameled topcoat surfaces that are not flaking and peeling. Our standard PSA's will not stick to bare wood, sanding sealers, melamine, or other plastics. Please contact our technical support group to specify specialty PSA adhesives for these applications. PSA requires approximately 48 to 72 hours to achieve its maximum bond.
Use of denatured ethyl alcohol to remove grease, dust and wax.
Uniform scuffing of the finished surface with a 100-150 grit no fill sandpaper.
Tack-rag wiping to make surface dust free.
Re-wiping with denatured ethyl alcohol.
Seal and finish the veneer promptly after application and cure time to protect from moisture penetration.
