Tony Corinda
(16 May 1930 – 1 July 2010)
In terms of magic history and recognition, and particularly amongst the mentalist communities, there are some names that always appear to come to the fore – Fogel, Annemann, Dunninger and perhaps none more so than that of Corinda. Tony Corinda, who wrote 13 Steps to Mentalism, could never have envisaged that this pseudonym would one day become so legendary that if you speak with any respected mentalist and ask about book recommendations, it'll be hard not to find one who does not mention or possess the 13 Steps to Mentalism; it is possibly the most quoted, and purchased book in mentalism and was written by Corinda in the late 50's and 60's. But what about the man himself – what is his story? Surprisingly, considering his reputation, very little has been written about Corinda, who, like Alexander in our first article, had an intriguing and a somewhat dark side to his personality.
He was born Thomas William Simpson, in 1930 in Mill Hill London and his start in life was tough, growing up in the war years in London. Schools were being closed after German air raid attacks and he left school with no qualifications at thirteen and starting work at fourteen years old. Towards the end of World War II he got a job at the National Institute of Medical Research, close to his home in Mill Hill. He was sent to a technical college to improve his education and to train as a microbiologist. After a few years at the Institute he moved to Central Public Health Laboratories at Colindale, and at the age of eighteen was conscripted to the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC); he was posted to Egypt to work in an army research laboratory in the desert. Not far from the lab was a military hospital, and Corinda would visit often to chat to the patients. It was here that his interest in magic developed. At the time he knew six magic tricks and would show them to the patients over and over again; because the hospital was isolated, patients never really had visitors so any form of distraction, including Corinda's repetitive and poorly executed magic effects, were welcomed by the incarcerated patients. An accidental encounter with a patient who was actually competent magician led to Corinda being taught some new effects (including a center tear and the 3-Kings stacked deck; the patient also gave him a magic dealer's catalogue (Max Andrews of Vampire Magic). Enthralled with a new world of dealer products Corinda would eagerly read through the catalogue and even slept with it under his pillow. He wrote to the dealer in London and got an updated catalogue and next discovered Davenport's Magic dealer; his repertoire had now increased to around a dozen effects and he started reading magic books where he discovered mentalism. Like many before and since, he became ensnared into the gentle art of deception. He changed his name to Corinda (using an anagram of the famous German magic author and dealer Conradi) when he was twenty years old.
After being demobilized from the army he returned to London and worked in medical research; however he had lost any enthusiasm for the role and drifted from job to job in various laboratories. One day he put away his white coat and never returned to a lab again. Wanting a complete change he moved to Dover to stay with a chess playing friend, Pete Hammerton. Pete, a Kent County Chess Champion, also had a keen interest in magic and puzzles and his mother was a spiritualist medium; this is where Corinda's interest in the occult started. Needing to work, Corinda and Pete got jobs at St Mary's Bay Children's holiday camp, in roles similar to the Butlin's Redcoats, where they were hosts and entertained the children. Pete became the resident clown and Corinda the resident magician and mind-reader, doing magic for the children and mentalism for the adults. They were totally unprepared for the huge influx of holiday seekers (the venue took in 2500 children and 500 adult carers). They stayed for two seasons before Corinda returned to London, where, without work, he spent his days studying magic and playing chess. Eventually he found work at a fairground and travelled with them for two years before getting tired with the constant uprooting, travelling, breaking down and setting up which was really physically draining. He decided to use his fairground experience to work at the Battersea Pleasure Gardens in London, which was a permanent showground set up in 1951 for the Festival of Britain. Here he run a magic stool and also performed some magic to visitors. He moved to close by fashionable Chelsea and from there could easily walk to work.
Whilst time lines appear conflicting, Corinda worked at the Pleasure Gardens for two years before moving to premises in Soho's Berwick street, where he sold mostly psychic, spiritualistic and occult related items along with a limited number of mentalism items. It was whilst running this 'shop' (it was actually a tiny room in a shared building where it is said he also lived) that he first met David Berglas and developed a friendship that was to not only to last, but also be a pivotal influence on Corinda's career. In time he was invited to work for Berglas, who was instrumental in helping him move to more luxurious surroundings in Mortimer Street and who also helped to develop the business. Over the years Corinda worked with Berglas on many TV and radio productions. Unlike other dealers, and there were plenty nearby including Harry Stanley, Ken Brooke, Ron MacMillan, Davenports and others, who would sell some mentalism items, Corinda's store / studio specialiased in mentalism effects along with selling standard magic effects.
Later Corinda took over The Magic Shop in Oxford Street, London which was originally run by Dick Chavel. This store was at street level so catered mainly to the lay public, so many of the items sold were either practical jokes or beginners' tricks, but other items and small illusions for semi-professional magicians and hobbyists were also sold over the counter. Around the same period, Corinda had the magic concession in Hamleys Toy Shop in Regent Street and he went on to lease a second premise in Oxford Street. He eventually sold the shops for a significant profit. During the late 50s and early 60s it was true to say that he was a successful businessman running a small empire of magic and joke shops in London's busy West End and employing around 40 people.
In business he was quite determined and entrepreneurial; at one time had a standing order with Goodliffe placing an advert in Abra each week. Every so often Corinda had to come up with an eye-catching headline for a trick. Once he advertised a trick in Abra without a clue as to what he was going to supply
to customers when their eager replies came in the post the following week. It was The Khan Dictionary Test and at the time of the ad had no trick to sell or idea how it would work! After a call to Fogel in nearby Brixton, a quick session ensued that was followed by a visit to the mentalists' favourite store – a local stationers, during which a box of chalk and a couple of dictionaries were purchased. A few hours later the chalk box had been gimmicked to switch the dictionaries. Fogel had come up with the idea of using
a full-length stick of chalk that snapped after writing the prediction. Picking up the broken piece of chalk off the floor covered the switch beautifully; audacious and clever stuff. By Monday morning the production line had begun and the orders rolled in.
Despite his reputation today, it appears that Corinda was not a prolific performer by any stretch. He had had some experience of working in various magic shops as he had demonstrated for Dick Silverman's (Cheval magic shop in Oxford Street) where he had worked with Pat Page and Ali Bongo. He also demonstrated in Gamages where he would work the Svengali deck for three months solid leading up to Christmas. He estimated that he had done the routine 18,720 times during this period!
Corinda started writing the First Step of 13 Steps to Mentalism in 1958, in his late twenties. Initially there was no intention in making a series but after writing a few, he muted the idea past Berglas to perhaps write 10 booklets, each on a different subject; he was unsure if he would find sufficient material and was re-assured when Berglas suggested he could write a lot more than ten booklets on various topics in mentalism! Berglas, having a penchant for the number 13 (which he thought a mysterious number) suggested thirteen for the series. So, each one of the 13 steps of the book were originally written as individual booklets each dealing with a different aspect of mentalism or an allied art, with much advice and contributions from Berglas, Jon Tremaine and Eric Mason; Corinda's work with Berglas proved pivotal as many of the effects and routines (or certainly the concept behind them) developed for the Berglas shows were included, some with permission and some without. Tremaine and Mason illustrated the books. When the final Step 13 was completed it was the only book (series) at that time that explained every detail – not only the effect but, more importantly, how do it, what to say, when to say it, how to manufacture the necessary props, as well as discussing stagecraft, misdirection and so on; the booklets were originally published as 13 individual 'courses', first compiled as the encyclopedic "Corinda's Thirteen Steps to Mentalism," and published in 1964 as a complete volume by D. Robbins and Co. Interestingly whilst each booklet was sold for around 10 shillings, when it was made into one complete volume Corinda wanted to sell it for 130 shillings, which was an extraordinarily high price at the time for a book (only a few copies were ever sold at that price). Eventually the book was sold at a more reasonable price and it was then that it became an international success having also been translated into numerous languages. It was later produced as a hardcover bound volume by Harry Clarke, a printer who produced many other books for magic studios at that time. In 2011 Corinda's Thirteen Steps to Mentalism was republished in the Encyclopedia of Mentalism and Mentalists
It was later adapted into video format by mentalist and magician, Richard Osterlind and the book went on to be regarded as the essential 'mentalism' reference book bar none. Interestingly, not knowing the working relationship between the two mentalists, John Carney once remarked "if Corinda's 13 Steps to Mentalism are the tools, The Mind and Magic book by Berglas is the manual"
Despite the huge success of the book Corinda was not commonly remembered for many inventions; however these were numerous and included: The Khan Slate Test, Untouched by Hand, Connda's Ghost Outfit, Connda's Spirit Bell, Hypno-heat, Cormda's Billet Pencil, The Khan Dictionary Test, Dr. Simon Spirit Slate, Choma Tobem, Connda's Third Choice, The Camel's Eye, Vienna Dice Trick, Birds of a Feather, Bombshell Prediction, Fantasy in Flame (with Maurice Fogel), One-in-a-Million Newspaper Test, Connda's Dictionary Test, Ouijamental, Predicted Card-in-Balloon, Connda's Money Box, Psychosight, Paradox, Three-of-a-Kind, Connda's two-person Communicator, Blind Date, The Spirit Telephone, Q5 Pocket Index (with Pat Page), Fata Morgana and Cormda's MasterGimmick. His personal favourites being the Khan Envelope Test and the Powers of Darkness. He credits his passion for chess, and his analytical thinking, to his ability to create effects with a logical premise.
There has been much speculation whether Corinda was ever a (strong) performer, but he insisted he could not have been a successful dealer had he also not been an excellent performer. One of the rare shows that people remember was at The Magic Circle, in the Chenies Mews headquarters where he performed a spectacular fake séance, helped by hidden assistants Pat Page and Mitch Devano.
In an interview debating the ethics of explaining the rationale behind mentalism (psychic ability, telepathy etc.) he referred to his colleague Fogel's own philosophy "if you don't have to admit anything , keep your mouth shut" asking who said that originally Fogel replied "Al Capone". One of Corinda's own favourite sayings was 'Good timing is invisible. Bad timing sticks out a mile'
Corinda was proud of his Membership of The Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star (awarded in 1959). At that time he was one of the youngest recipients; he was also proud of his Life Membership Diploma of The Psychic Entertainers Association (PEA), and both certificates were on display for all to see.
Apparently, fed up with the rat race he retired to a quiet life in Norfolk and became a virtual recluse, distancing himself from the magic community. He still kept his interest in the world of Mentalism, and would often write articles for the Psychic Entertainers Association's monthly magazine, Vibrations. For the latter part of his life he kept in touch only with a very small handful of people including Pat Page, Martin MacMillan and Chris Woodward. Corinda sadly passed away at the age of 80 on 1st July 2010; on a dramatic wet and windy day on 15th July was remembered at the Funeral Service at the Mintlyn Crematorium, King's Lynn crematorium accompanied two dozen mourners; the small but devoted gathering of kind and thoughtful local friends and neighbours were there to pay their last respects to someone, unbeknownst to them, who had become a legend in his own lifetime as a result of his The Thirteen Steps to Mentalism. No other magicians attended except Martin MacMillan.
His reputation will live on.

I am interested in offering artists a one on one intensive experience to get to the kernel of their exact interests and goals. I support and guide artists in whatever topic makes sense for them at that time. Participants receive hourly consultations, doable "homework" and accountability. Consultations take place in the form of meetings over the computer, or by phone.
Consultations are offered for the following lengths of time:
*1 year (meet once a month)
*6 Months (meet twice a month)
*1 Month (meet once a week)
The above list is a general overview. Depending on how long a mentorship would best support you will inform length of sessions are and how much they cost. To give a baseline consultations are $70/hr; however, similar to courses offered, I offer a sliding scale.
Take a look below at what matches your interests. If you want support in other areas/topics, email me and we'll do it:
Editing an ongoing project
This consultation guides artists who are in the beginning, middle or towards the end of a project that is ongoing and are in need of support in editing images to create a more realized, consistent body of work. Editing your own work can be challenging and this mentorship will provide participants with an objective and knowledgable perspective to support them in understanding how and when to edit.
Conceptualizing your work
This consultation is great for artists who are intermediate and would like to dive deeper into the conceptual aspects of their art practice. Participants will learn how to implement research into their art making and will read about the history and contemporary nature of art to build a more robust understanding of how what they are making sits within the context of art.
Writing an Artist Statement
Participants will learn how to write about their work by writing artist statements. Artist statements are a necessary component of being an artist and are helpful for others to understand the nature of your work and your interests as an artist. Writing artist statements will not only provide onlookers with something to read when looking at your work, but will also provide you with a greater understanding about your work and why you make it.

Let me know what you are looking for/interested in! *

Green walls are a form of vertical garden in which live plants are attached to a frame which integrates a growing medium such as soil, then attached to a wall. They're suitable for indoor or outdoor use, but the majority of retailers have them inside.
Leading retailers around the globe picked up on the green wall trend around 10 years ago. The largest green wall in the world covers 2,700 square metres and is located in Mexico at the Los Cabos International Convention Center.
Green walls have been gaining momentum in New Zealand over the last two years. Natural Habitats' most recent installation is at Icebreaker's new branch at the Riccarton malls, where it's the first of its kind. It has attracted a lot of attention from the public.
Cleary says green walls have side benefits besides their enormous visual appeal – indoor plants clean the air, and Cleary refers to research showing workers exhibit increased productivity when they're around plants.
"Those other benefits are overshadowed by the branding, though," he says.
Most retail customers go for long-term leases on their green walls, Cleary says. The walls are typically permanent but leasing removes the capital cost.

Q: Accessing to a multidimensional PHP array in JavaScript I want to show a jQuery dialog with details of one row in the table (that only shows part of information). This is an example of what I want to do.
The problem: When the image of 'View more details' of a row is clicked, the JS function receives the id of the row clicked. I can't assign  to JS variable 'data' as I did in the HTML part of the code. How can I solve this? Is a good way to do it?

    <?php for($i = 0; $i < count($cars); $i++) { ?>

            <?=$cars[$i]['model']?>
            <?=$cars[$i]['colour']?>

                <img class="details" id="<?=$i?>" style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://localhost/ci/public/images/details.png" width="40" height="40" alt="Details"/>

    <?php } ?>

A: There are many way to achieve this few are:
1) If the data is dynamic then uses Ajax
2) If static then any of the below can be used -

*

*a) Store php array info js array and retrieve it using Key by making the array key as row id and fetch data from array on onClick of the row.

*b) If you want to avoid arrays then -

*

*i) Create unique div with info that need to be displayed for every row. Default hide it on click unhide it and show it as dialog.

*ii) Create a js function with an argument and enable dialog in it with the information passed to it as an argument. For every row call this function on onClick event by passing the info as an argument.

A: You're trying to use data that is on the server on the client without any code to send it to the client. You have to have a way to get the data from php to javascript. Here is one alternative, which uses HTML data attributes.
In your image tag do this:
 <img class="details" id="<?=$i?>" data-price="<?=htmlentities($cars[$i]['price'])?>" style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://localhost/ci/public/images/details.png" width="40" height="40" alt="Details"/>

This just saves some data in a form that the client can read easily. htmlentities is there just for safety in case the variable contains quote characters (intentionally or not)
I should point out that there is no explicit need for the id attribute at this point unless you are using it for something else.
Then you can change your click function to the following (from the top of my head, not tested, consult the documentation for .data()):
$(".details").click(function(){
        $("#dialog").empty();
        var data = $(this).data('price');
        $("#dialog").append("
Car:"+data+"
");
        $("#dialog").dialog("open");
    });

Myanmar pursuing 'ethnic cleansing' of Rohingya: UN official
Thousands of desperate people have pushed over the border into Bangladesh in the last few days, bringing with them horrifying stories of gang rape, torture and the systematic killing of their ethnic group.

ByAFP, Teknaf
Myanmar is engaged in "ethnic cleansing" of Rohingya Muslims, a UN official has said, as reports emerged Friday of troops shooting at villagers as they tried to flee.
John McKissick, head of the United Nations refugee agency in the Bangladeshi border town of Cox's Bazar, said troops in Myanmar were "killing men, shooting them, slaughtering children, raping women, burning and looting houses, forcing these people to cross the river" into Bangladesh.
The UN says up to 30,000 Rohingya, a stateless ethnic group, have abandoned their homes in Myanmar, desperate to escape the soldiers that have poured into the strip of land where they live near the Bangladesh border.
Dhaka says thousands are massed on the border, but has refused urgent international appeals to let them in, instead calling on Myanmar to do more to stop people fleeing.
"It's very difficult for the Bangladeshi government to say the border is open because this would further encourage the government of Myanmar to continue the atrocities and push them out until they have achieved their ultimate goal of ethnic cleansing of the Muslim minority in Myanmar," McKissick said.
Vivian Tan, a press officer for the UN agency, said McKissick was "recounting what different sources, including new arrivals, have told him about the conditions they fled" and added the reports were "very worrying".

Farmer Deen Mohammad was among the thousands who evaded stiffened border patrols, sneaking into the Bangladeshi border town of Teknaf four days ago with his wife, two of their children and three other families.
"They (Myanmar's military) took my two boys, aged nine and 12 when they entered my village. I don't know what happened to them," Mohammad, 50, told AFP.
"They took women in rooms and then locked them from inside. Up to 50 women and girls of our village were tortured and raped."
Mohammad said houses in his village were burned, echoing similar testimony from other recent arrivals.
One Rohingya man, who asked not to be named, told AFP in Myanmar that troops had stormed into a neighbouring village early Friday morning and fired indiscriminately on residents as they tried to escape.
Children facing death
Amnesty International said the Myanmar army was carrying out "collective punishment" of the Rohingya, a one million-strong population reviled across Myanmar as illegal immigrants, for attacks last month on police posts.
"The response of the army to attacks on security forces six weeks ago went far beyond what was necessary and proportional," said the group's South Asia director Champa Patel.
"Instead of investigating and arresting specific suspects, the army carried out operations amounting to collective punishment."
Myanmar's new civilian government, led by Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, has rejected the allegations, and entry to Rakhine state is severely restricted, making it independent verification difficult.
Rights workers say hundreds of fleeing families have set up makeshift camps on the Myanmar side of the border as they wait for the chance to cross, with little access to food.
The UN has said around 150,000 vulnerable people have been without aid for more than a month, including around 3,000 children with severe malnutrition who are at risk of dying.
'Genocide'
Penny Green, professor of law at Queen Mary University of London, said the latest developments were a "new chapter" in the persecution of the Rohingya, who face apartheid-like restrictions that limit access to jobs, education and healthcare.
"We sounded the alarm in 2015 that what we saw amounted to the early stages of a genocidal process," she said.
"We are concerned that these latest developments may represent a new chapter in the persecution of the Rohingya, and a potentially more deadly phase of genocide.
"The fact that it's practically impossible to verify or confirm any of these reports underlines the intensity of Rakhine state's isolation from international view."

Zeitling ist eine Ortschaft mit  Einwohnern (Stand ) in der Katastralgemeinde Weinzierl in Perg im Unteren Mühlviertel in Oberösterreich.

Geographie

Die Ortschaft befindet sich auf  östlich der Ortschaft Weinzierl sowie westlich des Perger Stadtzentrums. Nördlich von Zeitling liegt die Ortschaft Lanzenberg und südlich davon befindet sich die Grenze zur Marktgemeinde Naarn im Machlande. Durch die Ortschaft fließt der durch das Zaubertal in die Ebene des Machlands gelangende Zeitlingerbach, der südlich von Zeitling verrohrt und zur Naarn geleitet wird. Zeitling liegt teilweise in den oberösterreichischen Raumeinheiten Machland und Südliche Mühlviertler Randlagen.

Die Ortschaft war ursprünglich landwirtschaftlich geprägt, wurde jedoch seit dem Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts stark besiedelt, wobei in der Ebene vor allem Gewerbebetriebe und an den südlich ausgerichteten Hängen vor allem Wohnhäuser errichtet wurden. Sowohl die Donauuferbahn als auch das Teilstück B 3c der Donau Straße durchqueren die Ortschaft.

Geschichte

Der Name Zeitling deutet auf einen ehemaligen Zeidler (Bienenzüchter) hin. Das Dorf dürfte auf Grund seiner Siedlungsform und geographischen Lage bereits im Mittelalter entstanden sein. Es wurde 1293 als Ceidlorn erstmals erwähnt. Im Dorf war auch ein Sitz, da sich um 1300 ein Lehensmann der Kapeller Leutwin von Zeidlarn nannte. 1360 wurde ein Wulfing von Zeidlarn erwähnt. Neben den Kapellern waren auch die Kuenringer und später die Herren von Maissau in Zeitling begütert. Im 15. Jahrhundert verliehen die Herren von Liechtenstein einige Güter in Zeitling an den Burggrafen von Windegg, weiters an den Marschall von Reichenau und die Habichler von Riegelhof in Zell. Im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert waren in Zeitling die Grundherrschaften Schwertberg, Steyregg, Weinberg und Riedegg begütert.

Survey Estimates St. Louis Arts Groups Lost $2.5 Million During Pandemic
St. Louis Public Radio | By Jeremy D. Goodwin
File photo | Carolina Hidalgo | St. Louis Public Radio
The Black Rep canceled performances of "Spell #7" due to the coronavirus. Ninety-two percent of local arts groups canceled events. Brian McKinley and Drummond Crenshaw are seen here in rehearsal.
Leaders at fewer than half the arts organizations in the St. Louis area say they are confident their organizations will survive the impact of COVID-19.
That uncertainty is revealed in a survey by the national advocacy group Americans for the Arts.
Only 38 of 79 arts organization leaders in St. Louis and in St. Louis, St. Charles, Franklin and Jefferson counties who responded reported that they will likely survive the economic disruptions of the pandemic. Nationwide, 58% of arts organizations who responded to the survey expressed confidence.
St. Louis-area arts organizations lost more than $2.5 million during the coronavirus crisis, according to the survey's calculations.
Ninety-two percent of responding local arts groups have canceled events, amounting to 174,890 lost admissions.
The Black Rep, which is included in the national survey, was in the midst of a successful production of Ntozake Shange's "Spell #7" when limits on public gatherings in St. Louis and St. Louis County went into effect in March. Producing Director Ron Himes had extended the show an extra week because of strong ticket sales, but the company was only able to go forward with one of the five additional performances.
After optimistically postponing it by just a month, he also canceled the production of George Brant's "Marie and Rosetta" that was originally scheduled to close the season on May 21.
Himes said the financial blow from cancellations was lessened because only about 15% of ticketholders asked for refunds. But the theater announced Friday it will bump its September show back by a year. He is unsure if the Black Rep will proceed with a show scheduled for January 2021.
"In the past, where we've had challenges, at least they were challenges that we somehow could wrap our heads and our thinking around," Himes said. "This is an instance in which we have absolutely little to no control over how long this pandemic will continue to impact us as a community and a world."
St. Louis-area arts organizations laid off 13 employees and furloughed another 30, according to the survey, which includes data through Friday. Nearly one quarter of responding organizations indicated that they are "extremely likely" to see temporary or permanent reductions in workforce.
"One of the challenges here is there's so much uncertainty in the future. Nobody knows when they'll be able to open up again, and the challenge for the arts is: first to close, last to open," said Randy Cohen, vice president of research at Americans for the Arts.
Local organizations also cited a lack of available cash reserves and a drop in donations as major concerns.

Women's Hoops drops a 92-65 decision at Wright State
By Kirk Downs
DAYTON, Ohio – The Lipscomb women's basketball team fell behind early and struggled to keep pace with the high-scoring attack from Wright State Thursday night and dropped a 92-65 decision inside the Nutter Center.
"We started off missing some shots that I thought we got good looks at, but we can't let that affect how we play" Lipscomb head coach Greg Brown said. "We have to continue to get shots and continue to do what we are supposed to do defensively.
"Wright State is a good team. They do a good job of forcing you into some binds, but I didn't feel we were physical enough with them, even when we got into the right spots."
Senior Ashley Southern poured in 19 points and added 13 rebounds to secure her second double-double of the season. She hit 8-of-16 shots from the floor and knocked down 3-of-4 from the charity stripe.
After shooting just 32 percent and playing to a 46-28 deficit at the break, Brown's squad did a better job of controlling the game in the third quarter and outscored the Raiders 23-17.
Lipscomb (1-2) hit 48 percent on 9-of-19 shooting, pulled down 13 rebounds and forced six WSU turnovers in the period.
"I liked out third quarter," Brown said. "I thought we came out and responded well by getting it back to 12 and then they made a run that we weren't able to answer.
"We also got to the free throw line in the third. I think if we could have done that more in the other three quarters, the game would have been much closer. But also, when we get to the line we have to knock them down."
The Purple and Gold got to the line six times in the third, with three makes, after attempting just four all of the first half.
With the inspired third quarter Lipscomb cut its deficit to 12 heading into the final 10 minutes of action, but a 29-point fourth quarter, aided by a 16-5 rebounding advantage, put the game out of reach.
The biggest difference in the game came on the glass. Wright State (2-1) pulled down 59 boards, compared to just 38 for Lipscomb.
"We were even in rebounding for the longest before they started pulling them down," Brown said. "I think sometimes we tend to settle for position instead of trying to create space. That is something we need to work on."
Sophomore Amber Fuqua poured in a career-high 11 points off the bench. She hit 4-of-10 field goals, including two 3-pointers. Her previous high was eight, set on Dec. 16, 2014 against Jackson State.
Junior Chandler Cooper was finally able to find her stroke Thursday. She drained 3-for-4 long range after missing her first nine to start the season. Cooper rounded out the double-digit scorers for Lipscomb with 10.
After setting a career high in assists Sunday at Georgia Southern with seven, sophomore point guard Loren Cagle set a new standard once again, dishing eight Thursday night. She added two points and four rebounds in a team-high 34 minutes of action.
Wright State's Kim Demmings entered the contest needing just 26 points to become the school's all-time leading scorer. The 5-foot-8 preseason All-Horizon selection finished with 27 and now has 2,057 career points. She is well on pace to also set the Horizon League's all-time mark of 2,340 – just 283 points shy.
Demmings added 10 points and was one of two WSU players to record a double-double. Riche van der Keijl tallied 10 points and 11 boards.
Quick Hits:
Lipscomb falls to 0-2 in the all-time series with Wright State.
Southern was the only starter to reach double figures in scoring.
Kelli Smith went 3-of-6 from the field and finished with eight points. She also chipped in three rebounds and a career-high three steals.
Wright State shot 45 percent for the game, compared to just 35 percent for Lipscomb.
The Raiders knocked down 11 shots from downtown while the Lady Bisons made seven.
Up Next: The Lady Bisons head east on I-40 for an in-state battle with Tennessee Tech on Sunday. The game is set for a 2 p.m. tip and will be broadcasted on the OVC Network.
"We are a good shooting team and we will continue to work on it," Brown said. "Now we will get back and focus on Tech. We will focus on ourselves these next two days and try to get better. The mentality our girls have done a good job with all year is looking for growth in every aspect.
"There are some things that Wright State taught us tonight, so we will work on those and get back at it Sunday."

Jayapal, Watson Coleman test positive for Covid after Capitol lockdown
Leave a Comment	/ Politics / By ekiensnews
Representative Pramila Jayapal (L) and Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-N.J.Getty ImagesDemocratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., announced early Tuesday that she had tested positive for Covid-19, becoming the second lawmaker to contract the virus since being placed in lockdown last week during the siege on the Capitol. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-N.J., said on Monday that she had received a positive test result. Jayapal is 55 and Watson Coleman is 75. Older people are more susceptible to severe illness from the coronavirus. Jayapal and Watson Coleman had each received the first dose of a coronavirus vaccine, which requires two doses, spaced weeks apart, to be fully effective. In a statement announcing her positive test result, Jayapal slammed Republicans who refused to wear masks while sheltering on Wednesday. "Only hours after President Trump incited a deadly assault on our Capitol, our country, and our democracy, many Republicans still refused to take the bare minimum COVID-19 precaution and simply wear a damn mask in a crowded room during a pandemic — creating a superspreader event on top of a domestic terrorist attack," Jayapal said in the statement.At least six House Republicans were filmed refusing to wear masks while in lockdown, according to a video posted online by Punchbowl News. On Sunday, Dr. Brian Monahan, Congress' attending physician, warned that in that period "individuals may have been exposed to another occupant with coronavirus infection."Jayapal had said in an interview with The Cut published on Friday that she believed the event was likely to spread infections."I'm quarantining now because I am convinced that where we ended up, in the secured room — where there were over 100 people and many were Republicans not wearing masks — was a superspreader event," the Washington Democrat told the website in an interview her office said was conducted Thursday.Jayapal did not specify in her statement whether she is experiencing symptoms. She said she is isolating and "will continue to work to the best of my ability because the deep urgency of our many crises is paramount."Watson Coleman said that she was resting at home. "While I am experiencing mild, cold-like symptoms, I remain in good spirits and will continue to work on behalf of my constituents," she said in a statement. Jayapal called for consequences for members of Congress who failed to take precautions against the virus."I am also calling for serious fines to be immediately levied on every single Member who refuses to wear a mask in the Capitol," Jayapal said. "Additionally, any Member who refuses to wear a mask should be immediately removed from the floor by the Sergeant at Arms. This is not a joke. Our lives and our livelihoods are at risk, and anyone who refuses to wear a mask should be fully held accountable for endangering our lives because of their selfish idiocy," she added.House GOP leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. The coronavirus infections come as the House of Representatives moves forward this week on parallel measures to remove President Donald Trump from office. The House is expected to pass a resolution on Tuesday calling for Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment. On Wednesday it is expected to consider an article of impeachment that was introduced on Monday. More than 375,000 in the U.S. have died of Covid-19, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

Prior to its confirmation as an Authority/Commission, the institution was in existence since 2004 as a Directorate under the name of New Sudan Mine Action Directorate.
The authority works in partnership with UNMAO, UNDP, UNICEF, NPA, MAG, DDG, OSIL, SLR, SIMAS and other national and government institutions. SSDA's vision is 'A society free of the threats, and impacts of landmines and Explosives Remnants of War (ERW) and where people live in peace and harmony'.
The main achievements of the authority since its formation includes:
Secured the inclusion in the Government of Southern Sudan annual budget;
Established coordination mechanism with all actors of mine action in Sudan;
Completed the construction of 75% of its permanent office building in Juba;
Met its obligation to Ottawa Convention by destroying 600 anti-personnel mines in Southern Sudan;
Initiated a Mine Action transitional plan process (from UN to national ownership) in collaboration with UNMAO, UNDP and the National Mine action Centre;
Staff training in various fields as a capacity building venture;
Participated in various mine action conferences internally and abroad; and
Establishment of three regional offices; and
Purchase of various vehicles, computers, office and communication equipment.
The Authority is governed by five constitutional post holders headed by the Chairperson, others are the Deputy Chairperson and three members. The Authority has another. The Authority also have a senior management led by the Director General for Mine Action, the others composed of the head of the following directorates: Operations, programs, Public Relations, MRE/VA, and the department of Finance and Adminstration beside three regional offices headed by regional coordinators.

Great (and relevant to us) tweet from Gary Lineker.
Virtually the same players and formation produced two very different performances two weeks apart. At the level we are operating at (on and off the field) that is the way it is going to be for the near future.

Save some money getting rid of some managers then.
It's a touch disingenuous from Lineker. Would Derby and Nottingham Forest have done so well without Clough and Taylor? Would Arsenal have changed their fortunes and style of play 180 degrees without Wenger? While you can look at the Liverpool of the 70s or Swansea now and say that some clubs succeed whichever manager, to a certain extent, they get in, teams can't run without managers in the long term. One game? Yes. A whole season? Never.
Ask Lineker if England would have done as well under Graham Taylor as they did under Bobby Robson and see if he repeats his assertion.

I'll put aside the fact that Lineker's sentence doesn't make any sense. "The importance we give managers / coaches is a myth". Either he is saying is that we place too much importance on manager's actions (although how much is too much?) OR he is saying its a myth that we do that. Let's assume its the former (as I think that is how Yuffie and has taken it).
Its nonsense to suggest that managers (of anything) aren't important at. I guess you could argue about how important but, without them, you would have far less chance of any team cohesion or unified tactics or anybody in charge motivation or selecting an approach etc. Of course there are bad examples and poor managerial decisions and unpredictable variables and you can't control what happens when they players cross the white line. Invariably, its a combination of media fuelled hype / attack (see England teams / managers for examples) and a simplistic (often ignorant) "change it quick" mentality which exaggerates the manager's influence. Most reasonable probably suspect that we need some kind of plans in place and some man management but we know we are in the lap of the gods some days and that anything can happen. This is exactly why we watch it and love it.

There are a couple of things that come up from a discussion like this - and apologies, it is an interesting conversation and doesn't detract from yesterday's win. Firstly, unless a team is packed full of genii, they need tactics and a formation. Good tactics and formation make a team more than the sum of its parts. Of course, a captain or a team could decide the tactics but they may need to be changed within a game. Also, a manager has to be in charge of substitutions. No player is going to take himself off because he is below par or being neutralised out of the game by the other team. He may not even take himself off if he is injured. A captain can't do that because he has too be involved in his own game. Even player-managers have assistant managers or coaches who will either be making their own decisions about substitutions or changing tactics or they will be implementing tactic changes and substitutions pre-arranged with the manager.
The other side of management is, not to put too fine a point on it, the emotional side of the team. As has been seen at Chelsea recently, keeping the players happy especially with squad rotation needed is a very hard job. It's the old "knowing when to bollock a player, knowing when to put an arm around his shoulder" cliche but it is true. There are other sides such as talking to the press and whatnot but I have to say that this is overblown. The press love Ian Holloway but this doesn't make him a great manager. Dave Jones famously (and somewhat rightfully) was suspicious of the press but that didn't stop him being as good if not a better manager than Holloway.
Where this puts Britton, Howells or even Rollo, I don't know but whatever their flaws, I would prefer them there then no-one. While players have to take responsibility and perform on the pitch, they are often self-centred and looking after themselves and won't make the right decision for the team. You have to have someone who is going to take the decision for the team even if this is not seen as best for the player by the player. They also have to deal with the fall-out of those decisions.
At the end of the day, it is easy to see why you need managers. Even as someone who is a great fan of collective responsibility and, of course, community ownership, you have to have some taking a lead and making decisions. All industries, charities and community projects have managers and there is no reason why football should be different. Tellingly, Lineker has never tried to manage. Like many great players, I am not sure he would be good. Managing is like teaching. Knowing how to do stuff doesn't necessarily mean you can pass onto others how to do it. It is interesting how many top flight managers nowadays weren't players to a great standard but are good managers - Wenger, Mourinho, Hodgson, Houllier. As it goes, all of these taught previously as well.

Indeed. And why hasn't Yuffie put a photo of Andy's Christmas jumper on the forum for us all to enjoy? It really was something else!

Given that we have a squad of 15 fit players there is a good chance that it will be something like the same team. Nevertheless from the permutations available Williams also replaced Hemmings. Crucially at one stage against H+Y Watkins McCootie and Pratt were on at the same time. We didn't come close to that on Saturday.
I don't want to be contrary but I thought 'virtually the same team' was stretching it a bit.

Brisbane crypto exchange collapses, suspends 30,000 accounts
Brisbane-based cryptocurrency exchange Digital Surge has collapsed into administration, suspending over 30,000 user accounts after it was caught up in the downfall of troubled international exchange FTX.
Administrators at KordaMentha were appointed to the business on Thursday. Customers at the exchange have been unable to access their funds for the last two weeks, with the company saying in late November it was suspending accounts.

This was due to the business holding "a portion" of its assets – Australian dollars and crypto – on FTX to facilitate trades. FTX spectacularly collapsed last month after it was revealed the company did not have sufficient client funds.
In a statement, KordaMentha administrator Scott Langdon said Digital Surge had entered into administration to protect the interest of customers and creditors, praising the cooperation of the business' directors.
In a separate statement on Friday, Digital Surge chief executive Dan Rutter said the administration was necessary to let the company's directors proceed with an unorthodox proposal, which would see users bailed out by the business' owners.
The deed of company arrangement proposed by Rutter would include a payment of $1 million from the directors' own pockets, all profits from the business to be paid to customers for the next five years, and accounts with a balance of less than $250 to be paid in full as a priority.
"The aim and purpose is to provide an opportunity for creditors to be made whole over time, and preserve as much as possible of their digital holdings," Rutter said.
"There's no denying this has been an extremely difficult and upsetting time for everyone in the cryptocurrency sector. We have always operated with our users' best interests at heart, including the decision to enter this process."
The proposal put forward by the company's directors will be considered by the administrators, along with other avenues such as seeking a potential buyer. Customers will vote on any potential deal in the new year.
"We fully appreciate the uncertainty the voluntary administration will create. We will proactively and regularly communicate with customers to ensure they are fully informed on the progress of the administration," Langdon said.
KordaMentha is also managing the administration of FTX's local assets, where around 30,000 Australian customers are owed tens of millions of dollars. On Friday, Langdon said KordaMentha was in the process of identifying the positions of Australian customers on FTX, but noted the process would take a long time to resolve.

Q: iPhone google maps v3 pans after pinch zoom I have a problem developing a web application for iPhone. When I visit a simple example like http://code.google.com/intl/sv-SE/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/map-simple.html in an iPhone and do pinch zoom the map pans when I release the fingers from the screen. This makes the map end up somewhere else than the place I zoomed to.
Is there some way to prevent the map from panning after pinch zoom release?

A: Unfortunately, the iPhone's use of touch screen technology - especially Cocoa - can have some odd effects when it comes to viewing a web app on a mobile device.
I cannot fathom why, but it seems like such multi-touch gestures, such as pinching, have a relatively odd effect on non-native applications.
The only thing I can suggest is using Objective-C and getting to work on porting your application to run as an app on the iDevice. This will remove the problems you are having, but it will not rid you of the issue that you are trying to develop a web app.


Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on Wednesday he would seek re-election in March 2018, setting the stage for the 65-year-old to extend his dominance of the country's political landscape into a third decade.
With his approval ratings topping 80 percent, Putin is certain to win an easy victory.
Putin has been in power, either as president or prime minister, since 2000. If he wins what would be a fourth presidential term in March, he would be eligible to serve another six years until 2024, when he turns 72.
"I will put forward my candidacy for the post of president of the Russian Federation," Putin told an audience of workers at a car-making factory in the Volga river city of Nizhny Novgorod on Wednesday.
Putin is lauded by allies as a father of the nation figure who has restored national pride and expanded Moscow's global clout with interventions in Syria and Ukraine. His critics accuse him of overseeing a corrupt authoritarian system and of illegally annexing Ukraine's Crimea, a move that has isolated Russia.
The challenge for Putin is not other candidates — nobody looks capable of unseating him — although several will try.
Instead, his toughest task will be to mobilize an electorate showing signs of apathy to ensure a high turnout which in the tightly-controlled limits of the Russian political system is seen to confer legitimacy.
The veterans of past campaigns — Communist chief Gennady Zyuganov, ultranationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky and liberal leader Grigory Yavlinsky — all have declared their intention to run. They will likely be joined by Ksenia Sobchak, a star TV host who is the daughter of late former St. Petersburg Mayor Anatoly Sobchak, Putin's boss in the 1990s.
The most visible Putin foe, Alexei Navalny, also wants to run, even though a conviction he calls politically motivated bars him from joining the campaign. He has organized a grassroots campaign and staged rallies across Russia to raise pressure on the Kremlin to let him register for the race.
While next year's election in March is devoid of real suspense about who will win, what follows is more unpredictable as attention will turn to what happens after Putin's final term — under the current constitution — ends.
There is no obvious successor, and many investors say the lack of a clear succession plan, and likely jockeying for position among Russian elites for dominance in the post-Putin era, is becoming a big political risk.


Epson isn't one of the biggest players in the digital camera market, but it's developed the groundbreaking R-D1 digital rangefinder and it produces the neat P-2000 portable hard drive/image viewer, with a 40GB capacity hard disk and 3.8- inch Photo Fine display screen.
This Photo Fine technology has found its way into the L-500V. In most respects, this is an ordinary 5-megapixel compact snapshot camera, but on the back there's one of the largest LCD displays you'll find on any digital camera.
What sets this LCD apart is not only its size, measuring 2.5 inches across the diagonal, but also its ultra-high resolution. As Epson claims, it's the world's highest-definition consumer display on the market. With a resolution of 256 pixels per inch, it displays supersharp images both in playback mode and while shooting. Epson boasts that this combines the benefits of two products in one: a digital camera and a high definition photo viewer. While its playback quality might justify this claim, its storage capacity doesn't.
It uses SD cards, but only it comes with a 16MB card that lacks the capacity for serious shooting. It's worth bearing in mind that you'll need to budget around £100 if you want one of the latest highcapacity 1GB SD cards, which will enable you to keep several hundred shots stored in your camera, ready for playback.
The display also has a special Outdoor mode, activated by the joystick on the back of the camera, to make it brighter and more visible in daylight. It works well, and it's a useful feature on this camera because it doesn't have an optical viewfinder.
Other features of note are the 640 x 320 30fps movie mode, and the Print Image Framer option, which enables you to add decorative borders to your photos.
In every other respect, this camera is very much like any one of a host of basic snapshot models. There's a 3x optical zoom, an autoeverything program AE exposure mode and a small selection of scene modes (Landscape, Portrait, Night View and Night Portrait) for specific sets of conditions.
You can use the main mode dial to switch between Setup, Playback, Auto, Manual, Continuous Shooting and Movie modes. Don't get too excited about that Manual mode, though, because all this does is enable you to apply white balance, EV compensation, ISO and other adjustments. In Full Auto mode, you can still operate the joystick controls, but the menu system is unavailable.
The joystick works better than most of its type. The top surface has a rubberised grip so your thumb doesn't tend to slide off, and the movement is pretty positive, too, with minimal 'slop'. Press up to toggle the outdoor LCD display mode, left to switch between flash modes, down for the self-timer and right for Macro mode.
Most users are likely to want to stick to the Manual mode. When you press the menu button, you can switch scene modes, change resolution and quality and as mentioned earlier, adjust EV compensation, WB and ISO. Using the menus for these options - especially the last three - is a bit of a fiddle, and what makes it worse is the tiny delay in response between the joystick and the menus.
On the other hand, it does mean that this camera is at least very simple to understand, and you'll know exactly where every control's located in a short space of time.
The Epson's excellent display quality, simple controls and solid, well-finished build leave a very favourable impression. Picture quality, though, is no better than average for a low-cost compact camera. Exposures are pretty accurate for the most part, but colours can come out distinctly flat, especially on overcast days. The fine detail isn't especially good, either, though to an extent this is typical of cameras with the latest ultra-small 1/2.5-inch sensors (practically every sub 6-megapixel camera these days).
The L-500V's average performance means that the only thing to set it apart from its many 5MP compact rivals is that large, high-resolution viewing screen. If this is important to you, then it represents a pretty good buy, but you'll have to remember to set some cash aside for a larger memory card if you want to use it as a viewer for your photo collection as well.

Griffith University: Griffith launches Creative Arts Research Institute
AcademicsInternational NewsUniversity News
By iednewsdesk	 On Jul 1, 2021
Griffith University is positioning itself at the forefront of creative arts research with the launch of a new institute bringing together leading thinkers from the music and performing arts, design, art and film worlds.
Professor Vanessa Tomlinson will lead Griffith University's new Creative Arts Research Institute (CARI) and said it would create a powerful platform for new collaborative projects.
"This is my dream job," she said.
"It's about creating a collective voice for cutting-edge creative arts research within the university and strengthening our engagement with industry and the community.
"This is a genuine opportunity to connect the dots and combine our interdisciplinary expertise to do amazing things."
Professor Tomlinson said CARI would support arts research with social impact.
"Social justice, inclusion and environmental sustainability are the central issues of our time, and creative solutions play a vital role in creating a better future," she said.
"CARI will also provide a showcase for globally significant work by First Peoples researchers at Griffith, and we will work in close partnership with the Indigenous Research Unit (IRU)."
CARI, which incorporates the Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre (QCRC), will be based at South Bank, in the heart of Brisbane's cultural precinct.
Professor Tomlinson said CARI would leverage researchers' industry connections to create exciting new collaborations.
"CARI is a space for thinking, making and doing. There will be a lot of hands-on creative work, as well as big picture research which will shape policy and create new ways of engaging with the world," she said.
"Individually, our researchers are already out there playing in concert halls, exhibiting in galleries and engaged in festivals. Together we can go to industry with a cohesive strategy, help set the future agenda for the arts, and work out how to highlight the significant role culture plays in the lived experience of our community."
With 57 members, CARI will also provide mentoring and support for more than 150 HDR candidates across the creative and performing arts at Griffith, through a doctoral training program, research workshops and masterclasses.
"We have a large cohort of HDR students, and many of them are already leading industry practitioners," Professor Tomlinson said.
"CARI will allow those students to tap into a network of mentors across the creative arts disciplines at Griffith."

Your choice of Ground Penetrating Radar system depends largely on how deep you need to see. The lower the bandwidth of the antennae, the deeper you can see. The higher the bandwidth, the greater the resolution, i.e. scan detail. Our radar systems offer both single and multi-bandwidth systems. The more bandwidths you use, the more perspectives you have so as to ensure for optimal data interpretation.
All-in-one GPR Systems for Utility Locating & Geophysical Applications
All-in-one GPR systems are the most cost effective solution for most end users. The all-in-one systems are also more maneuverable and user-friendly. The various software options make it possible for these units to be as simple as just turn on and go, yet also have various options and capabilities targeted for more advanced users.
Quantum Mini
Base station free mapping GPR
The GPRover is an all in one system that combines global GPS connectivity with award winning triple bandwidth technology. Not just a GPR but a sophisticated platform that integrates advanced subsurface imaging technology, high accuracy GPS, and mapping capability.
Multi-bandwidth GPR
The world's first triple bandwidth GPR. The Quantum Imager excels in nearly all applications, it is especially suited for clay soils, deep utilities, and fine targets that require high resolution imaging. The Quantum Imager is the most versatile utility locating GPR on the market.
Dual Bandwidth Concrete Scanner
Dual bandwidth concrete scanning system features 1000 and 2000 MHz antenna making it the most versatile concrete scanner in the world.
Standard Utility Locating System
Locate utilities and other targets up to 15' (4.5 m) deep including smaller laterals, cables, and small plastic pipes. This unit is the best choice for most budget conscious utility locating applications.
Deep Utility Locating System
Locate larger targets up to 30' (10 m) deep at medium resolution.
High Resolution Cart System
Perfect for locating targets up to 5' (1.5 m) deep such as conduit and rebar in floors.
Modular GPR systems are an excellent value when a broad range of applications are going to be performed. The same system can be used for concrete scanning, buried utility locating, and deep geophysical applications merely by changing the antenna and mounting system. Due to their flexibility, they can also be easily adapted to special applications and mounted on a variety of special purpose vehicles such as ATVs, snowmobiles, boats, etc.
Deep Geophysical System
Locate tunnels, mines, and geophysical features up to 100' (30 m) deep.
3D & 2D Concrete Scanning & Inspection Configurations
Our concrete scanning systems offer the ability to switch frequencies while staying with the initial Seeker SPR head unit. This means significant cost savings and higher capability and versatility.
