(Bloomberg) -- Social media platforms have become some of our most important sources of news. What information gets seen by whom is shaped by tightly guarded algorithms that tech companies have spent billions of dollars to develop. People on all sides of the political spectrum have voiced concerns over the impact those algorithms have in terms of promoting divisions, misinformation and hate speech, among other things. Elon Musk, who has proposed a $44 billion takeover of Twitter Inc., has vowed to make its algorithms "open-source" to promote transparency and free speech. It's not entirely clear what he has in mind, or what the consequences might be.
1. What is an algorithm?
A set of instructions for making a decision or performing a task. Arranging names in alphabetical order is a kind of algorithm; so is a recipe for making chocolate chip cookies. But those simple formulas bear only a distant relationship to the computerized code used by social media giants like Twitter, Facebook parent company Meta Platforms Inc. and Alphabet Inc.'s Google.
2. Why are they used?
The earliest iterations of social media platforms generally logged users' posts and comments in reverse chronological order, with those published most recently showing up first on people's feeds and timelines. That all changed in 2009, when Facebook began populating news-feeds with content that the algorithm determined individual users would be most interested in seeing. The rest of the platforms followed suit and started testing their own versions, citing user experience as their motivation. Engagement levels are higher when the "best" posts, as defined by the algorithm, are more easily found. This truth underpins the success of search engine giants such as Google, which rely entirely on algorithms to display quick, relevant results to queries. The change is credited with driving the platforms' growth and has made them vastly more profitable, as advertisements are easier to sell to engaged readers than to bored scrollers.
3. How do they work?
Present day social media algorithms sort posts in a users' feed based on a combination of signals that indicate relevancy, only one of which is how recently an item was published. The companies are able to use the vast caches of data they collect on individual and group behaviors to personalize recommendations. For example, the platforms might prioritize content from your closest friends and family if those are the accounts you interact with most often. Users who frequently interact with content of a specific political bent will likely be served more content judged to meet that preference. Each social media company prioritizes different criteria when determining which content is most relevant, although the details have remained secret. Facebook claims it prioritizes meaningful interactions to generate friendly conversations while Twitter says it prioritizes quality and relevancy to display the best content.
4. What does Musk want to change?
Musk has floated a number of notions in the name of upholding what he describes as free speech ideals, including a promise to take a minimalist approach to content restrictions. During a panel discussion at the Ted2022 conference on April 14, Musk said he would be "very reluctant to delete things" and "very cautious with permanent bans -- timeouts, I think, are better." He's talked about trying to "authenticate all real humans" as a means of differentiating between bots and legitimate accounts. And he has advocated for opening up to public scrutiny Twitter's content algorithms, which identify spam or posts violating the site's terms of service as well as ranking items for ordering user feeds, among other things.
5. What does that mean?
Most likely, "open sourcing" Twitter's proprietary software would make some of its algorithms available for public inspection. Once others can read the code, they can use it for their own applications or could make suggestions to Twitter's own developers for changes. In other industries, such as cryptography, nearly all relevant algorithms are open sourced so that entire communities of coders can collaborate on improving design and security features. What's not clear in the social media context is how much transparency making an algorithm's code available would add, as seeing the code doesn't tell you how exactly it works in practice when operating in collaboration with the vast amounts of data that power it. And with these immensely complicated systems, it's not clear how much seeing isolated parts of algorithmic code would reveal about how all the pieces work together.
6. What might it mean for the industry?
Would-be competitors might have a greater chance of getting a foothold in a market now dominated by giants because they'd be able to build upon the intellectual property of one of the biggest companies in the sector. That could eventually increase competition. New social media platforms struggle in particular with content moderation -- it's hard to grow to a size at which you can afford moderators if potential users are turned off by unmoderated content. On the other hand, algorithms can be of limited use without the constant flood of new data that existing social media companies use to keep training and fine tuning their formulas.
7. Are there risks?
Yes, both for users and for social media platforms. Some experts warn that open-sourcing Twitter's code may bring a number of problems. For example, it might give bad actors a greater understanding of how to game the system and could fuel the proliferation of bots on the platform. "When you put something out there in the open market and you make it available for everybody to use, it can be misused," said Arun Kumar, chief data and marketing technology officer at ad company Interpublic Group of Cos. Recommendation algorithms are proprietary and form the core intellectual property of platforms like Twitter, Facebook and TikTok.
8. Is there a solution?
One option is a compromise that allows communities of users to have a role in the platform's development while still safeguarding its commercially sensitive data. Jason Mars, computer science professor at the University of Michigan, said Twitter could establish an open-source version of its recommendation system and use it to inform the main algorithm that determines what users actually see.

The eagerly awaited Gibson Brothers' new CD Help My Brother is being released by Compass Records on Tuesday, February 22nd. Comprising twelve songs, seven of which are Gibson Brothers originals while four are contemporary originals and one a cover of a Jim and Jesse McReynolds classic. The Brothers' core touring band of Mike Barber, Clayton Campell, and Joe Walsh is tastefully augmented with guest vocals by Ricky Skaggs, Claire Lynch, and Alison Brown on vocal harmony and banjo, while Mike Witcher shows up on Dobro. The recording, produced by Eric and Leigh, along with band-mate Mike Barber and engineered by Ben Suratt is of the highest quality. The album design and photographs present a fine package. All-in-all, this project presents itself as first class in every way.
The Gibson Brothers Band
"Help My Brother" (Leigh Gibson) the first song on the CD, hits your ear like the kickoff of a live performance, filled with an energy unusual in a recording. From Leigh's initial attack to Clayton's lingering fiddle note, that closes without dropping, this song epitomizes the excitement and authenticity a Gibson Brothers song can generate. "Do all I can for any other/That's what I'll do for me" provides the core idea of this song that turns selfishness into helping and sharing. Starting with a commitment to the other, a personal and wider sense of brother, which can only help self emerges. Typical of Gibson Brothers' songs, this title song for the CD lifts both mind and spirit in lyric and melody.
Leigh Gibson
In the blues song"Walkin' West to Memphis" by Chris Henry, Leigh shows greater vocal range than he's heretofore demonstrated, while Eric, in a brief banjo break midway through the song shows why he should be seriously considered for banjo player of the year as well as for Male vocalist. It's truly sad that IBMA has no category for duet singing. So much great bluegrass depends on vocal combinations that to set aside solo vocalists while ignoring duets and trios misses an important aspect of the music.
Eric Gibson
It seems strange that a love song to Elvis Presley would be called "Dixie," (Eric Gibson) but in this lovely story song, Eric asks an older King of Rock and Roll whether he'd return to an early love of his life named Dixie who also represents the simpler, less opulent southern lifestyle of his youth, giving up all that his music career has brought him, for a life of happiness and fulfillment. " Would you go back to Dixie/And turn in your crown/Would you love her tender/And then burn Graceland to the ground?" The plaintive question should be asked of every person chasing success. As with so many Gibson songs, the particular can be generalized to a comment on life's choices. Their benefits and their costs, are explored in the context of commercial and material success versus devotion to love and goodness. As in so much of the Gibson Brothers music, the expertise of Mike Barber's work on bass helps provide both drive and rhythmic power to the band's output.
Mike Barber
People who follow the Gibson Brothers have been hearing "Frozen in Time" (Eric Gibson) for nearly a year. Eric sings about being frozen in a "better time," unable to move into the present, discovering that to be frozen allows one not to become to caught in the sadness of the present. To be frozen in ones mind allows seeing the world as it could be rather than as it is. For many people, the comforting glow of a past that may never have existed offers a helpful place to go, but the singer "feels a chill" at the thought of living out his life distanced from reality. After all, it may have been a chill that extinguished the dinosaurs to which he compares himself.
Frozen in Time - Video
Gibson Brothers' gospel songs represent a level of simple faith transcending specific doctrinal and denominational choices for a more generalized faith in God's power to provide support and love for "all who believe and will let him come." It's hard to believe that after last year's huge success with "Ring the Bell," (Gospel Song of the Year, Song of the Year) they could come up with another gospel song that speaks to every seeker, but "He Can Be Found" (Ella Barrett & Faye Cunningham) does just that. The song says that God can be found in the simple things of life - a mother's smile, the eyes of a child, the air we breathe, in all of us who sincerely seek him.
Clayton Campbell
"Singing As We Rise" by Joe Newberry stands as another inspiring gospel song whose rising voices and instrumentals take the listener on a trip to a higher plain. The song shows people singing, working, preaching as they rise toward a better life. Joe Walsh's mandolin solo leaps off the record with a held note in its center that grasps a listener for a brief beat and then slams home. Ricky Skaggs does a guest verse and sings on the chorus of this song. It's unusual for the Gibson Brothers to add guest singers. In this CD it's done effectively because the guests contribute to the essential Gibson Brothers sound without dominating or interfering.
Guest - Ricky Skaggs
"Want vs. Need" written by the Gibson Brothers and Tim O'Brien, expresses the basic conflict in Americans' lives. The struggle to give up wanting (almost Zen-like in its demands) while seeking to find "My own song" takes this song to a higher level of human ambition for finding self based on the "things that really matter." As Leigh sings of realizing that the person he loves can be "someone to lighten up my load" he expresses the longing so many feel for giving in order to receive the goodness of life and love.
Eric & Leigh
"I'll Love Nobody But You" is a Jim and Jess McReynolds song familiar to many. The Gibson Brothers give it a lift, reminding us of the body of great work left to us by the first generation of bluegrass performers. Mike Witcher, guesting on Dobro, contributes just the right note. A quick listen to samples of this song by David Grisman and Longview, as well as Jim and Jesse's version immediately shows how strong the brother affinity is and how well the Gibson Brothers capture the spirit of the McReynolds version while simultaneously making it their own. Their ability to take a familiar bluegrass standard and breathe new life into it while giving more than a nod to the bluegrass greats they follow is unsurpassed today. This song provides an excellent reason why people should purchase whole CD's rather than buying singles. There might be a temptation to overlook a song as familiar as this one, but here the Gibson Brothers grab hold of the original and make it their own while never varying from its intention. In an interview on WAMU's Bluegrass Country, Leigh commented that some bootlegged tapes given to them when they were fifteen or sixteen years old had awakened in them their love of duet singing. In this cut, which will certainly return to the jam circle for another go around,, they "tip their hats" to Jim and Jessie.
Recording Engineer Ben Suratt with Wife Missy Raines
"Just Lovin' You" (Jamie O'Hara and Kieran Kane) is another song that captures the uniqueness of being "Me" through "loving you." The song has a lilt and simplicity to it. The tight harmony of Eric and Leigh's voices, their togetherness, contrasts interestingly with the idea of finding self while reaching out to a unique "you." This song provides another example of Clayton Campbell's strengths in this band. He's a remarkable solo fiddler, but his ability to use his instrument to blend the songs of the entire group together provide glue for many of their songs.
Guest - Claire Lynch
"Talk to Me" (Leigh Gibson) is a love song opening simply with Leigh's clear voice accompanied by a guitar. Slowly the rest of the band joins in as Leigh sings about his need for communication. "I know that I'd be all right, if you'd talk to me." Claire Lynch joins in on the harmony refrain in another pitch perfect guest appearance as the longing plaintive quality of her singing the third verse provides the female voice this song cries out for. It's impossible to overestimate the strength of Joe Walsh's instrumental contributions to the past two Gibson Brothers albums as well as their live performances. He draws remarkable sustain from his instrument. This heart wrenching song addresses the loneliness in the lives of couples who fail to reach out effectively. Allison Brown on the mellow wood banjo provides a contrasting banjo sound.
Guest - Alison Brown
"One Car Funeral" (Jon Weissberger with The Gibson Brothers) is one of the saddest songs imaginable so, of course, it has the bounce and drive characteristic of the essential duality of bluegrass, presenting sadness and tragedy in a happy sounding setting, much like a circus clown's huge smile often belies the tragedy of his existence. "A two minute service that only three men shared. Not the preacher nor the digger nor the reason they were there." The repeated use of the one car, two minutes, three men mantra drives home the lonliness and despair of the scene by the grave.
Guest - Mike Witcher
"Safe Passage" by Leigh Gibson joins "Iron and Diamonds" in its sound, "Farm of Yesterday" and "Arleigh" in their love of family as a particularly Gibson Brothers song. This family, which settled on a small farm in the northernmost part of New York,just along the Canadian border, looks backward at its Irish, rural farm, and immigrant roots in some of their very best song writing, epitomizing the best instincts embodied by bluegrass music. "Our daddy told us young that he would be the last one to raise a crop from this rocky land" leads to the singer's keeping himself on the journey to "Safe Passage" not in going to fight the Civil War or struggling to make a meager farm produce, but in seeking to tell the stories, guitar in hand. The song provides a powerful, and often to be played, ending to the best Gibson Brothers work yet.
Safe Passage - Video
Entertainer of the Year? Sure...why not? Album of the Year? Of course...."Help My Brother" will rise to the top of the charts just as the previous five Gibson Brothers releases have. Their quality, integrity, and gritty commitment to being themselves while producing great music has provided a high standard for years. This CD only adds to and improves that years long record. The Gibson Brothers, in their authentic simplicity, exemplify everything that is good about bluegrass music. They aren't a Show Band. They don't use large production numbers. They resist over-selling themselves both at their merchandise table and from the stage. They rely on old fashioned values wrapped in the freshest and most identifiable sound to be found to allow the music – composition, performance, lyric and vocal – to sell itself. This is their best work yet. Katy Daley, morning host of WAMU's Bluegrass Country in Washington, D.C. comments, "My hope is that people won't only look back at all the wonderful duets we all love and respect in country and bluegrass. My hope is people will now talk about what The Gibson Brothers ADD to the brother duet tradition. Their close harmony singing has never been better. Add to it their musical arrangements with all the textures and layers, and I think they bring the brother duet tradition into the 21st century."
He Can Be Found - Video
"Help My Brother" can be ordered from Compass Records, purchased from the Gibson Brothers merchandise table wherever they appear, ordered from all online sources, or downloaded. I strongly recommend purchasing the entire project. Too much thought, time, effort, and love have gone into creating this marvelous piece of work for those who appreciate the Gibson Brothers not to experience it in its entirety. The release date is February 22nd.

Like many kids, my second-grader gets bored doing her math and spelling homework. Sometimes we will stop and get our sillies out by running around the kitchen island, doing jumping jacks, or dancing. Then I ask her to refocus on the equations. Turns out, we might be on to something!
A new study called "Physically Active Math and Language Lessons Improve Academic Achievement: A Cluster RCT," which was published in the March 2016 issue of Pediatrics, looked at whether adding physical activity (i.e. like my family's kitchen Olympics) could help kids learn more effectively.
Researchers worked with 499 second- and third-graders in the Netherlands. The kids were divided into two groups: one that trudged through the current classroom lessons and one that participated in a "Fit & Vaardig" program of classroom lessons incorporating physical exercise.
Two years later, the kids in the "Fit & Vaardig" group demonstrated greater gains in math and spelling standardized test scores versus the kids in the "trudging" group. The improvement was so marked, it was as if the exercisers had received four more months of learning. Wow!
Interestingly, reading scores were unaffected.
The takeaway: If your kiddo is losing steam halfway through his homework, try incorporating some physical activity. For example, quiz her on the spelling words, but have her do a jumping jack as she recites each letter. Play math freeze dance, and every time you shut off the music, have your child stop and solve a problem. This approach will cut down on boredom, and may even help your child absorb the information better. Bonus: You are teaching your child the value of physical activity for both health and learning!

The average person uses around 100 gallons of water a day. By reducing water use, you can save money, energy and water resources. LifeSource Water Systems can help you conserve water because there is no water waste. With LifeSource, you get clean, healthy water in your home and the rinse water from the system is safe for plant use. There are many reasons and ways to start conserving your water, and as more people join the cause, we can move towards a more eco-friendly, cost-efficient, sustainable lifestyle.
The average household spends $500 a year on water and sewer bills, but with just a few changes you could save almost half that. Additionally, with less water, septic systems, pipes and appliances will all last longer.
By conserving water, we not only preserve our natural environment, but also prevent further contamination from over-worked treatment systems. People are currently using up the planet's water supply faster than it can be replenished. As we use up more and more of our water, water levels decrease, causing pollutants to become more highly concentrated. This poses risks to the environment as well as our own health. At the same time, municipal systems and septic tanks cannot handle the influx of water and cannot treat it properly leading to further contamination of the water supply. Conserving water can protect our water quality and environment by wasting less resources and increasing the effectiveness of waste water treatment.
Saving water also saves energy. Distributing water uses up energy every step of the way, from treating it to heating it for your shower. In fact, every year the United States uses 56 billion kWh to treat and supply water. Just running the faucet for 5 minutes is equivalent to a 60-watt bulb shining for 14 hours. By conserving water, treatment plants can be more efficient and use less energy and chemicals to treat the water. Using less energy means reducing consumption of natural resources and preventing pollution from greenhouse gases.
Conserving water is a cost-effective, environmentally friendly way to reduce water demand. By adopting a few simple habits, we can work to extend our ever-shrinking water resources. The two major ways to conserve include engineering practices and behavioral practices. Engineering practices can include appliances like low-flush toilets, low-flow shower heads and faucet aerators that conserve water automatically. Behavioral practices require an adjustment in habits.
Wash dishes by hand whenever possible and don't run the dishwasher until it is completely full.
Keep a pitcher of cold drinking water from the tap in your fridge so when you want a glass of water you don't have to waste water running the tap until it gets cold enough.
Use the garbage instead of the garbage disposal whenever possible.
Water any outdoor plants during the coolest part of the day so less water evaporates.
Try to landscape with native plants that are accustomed to the area's rainfall, so they will not need extra watering.
Lastly, cut down on consumption wherever possible because all manufacturing requires water.


Happy Independence Day! Because what's more patriotic than Americanized Chinese food?!
It's funny, I looked through all the recent recipes I've made but not posted yet, and there's not a single one I'd classify as American. Apparently I've been on an Asian kick, though. And this one's a doozy—the most delicious, successful Asian recipe I've made since this super easy sesame chicken.
I've gone through like a hundred green onions lately. They're the best!
The sauce is obviously the hero of this recipe—you could switch the beef out for chicken and maybe wouldn't even notice. It's a little sweet and salty and garlicky and super tangy. It's got bite. I honestly don't know that I'd classify it as a traditional Mongolian beef sauce, which I think of as a little more mellow. But no matter what you call it, it's awesome. And as a bonus, this recipe creates a lot of sauce to soak into the rice, which is one of my non-negotiables where Chinese food is concerned.
First we'll do a shorter version of velveting the meat. Slice the flank steak against the grain, into 1/4-inch pieces. I bought mine already sliced and just cut it into smaller pieces, but a little thicker than this would actually be better to keep the meat tender (mine was a little chewy).
Then toss it with the cornstarch, making sure all the pieces get covered. Allow the steak to sit for 10 minutes (more's okay) until you're ready to cook it. This step is important, so don't cut corners here—the cornstarch is what will ultimately thicken the sauce as well, so we get a two-fer.
Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Saute the minced ginger and garlic until golden, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic or it gets gross. Stir in the soy sauce and water, then stir in the brown sugar until fully dissolved.
Increase the heat to medium and bring the sauce to a boil for 3 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside for now.
Cut the greens into 1-inch pieces, then slice the white and pale green parts into slivers or long chunks. The original recipe didn't include the white parts, but all the restaurant Mongolian beef I love includes these. Don't use the middle parts—where the green prongs out and down for a few inches. Basically use the tops and bottoms.
Place a large sauté pan or wok over medium-high heat and add 1/3 cup of oil (less would be okay as well). Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), add the beef to the pan and sauté until it's seared on all sides but barely cooked in the center—for me that was probably 5-8 minutes.
Remove the steak from the pan with a slotted spoon (so you don't keep all the oil) and transfer it onto a paper towel-lined plate. Pour any excess oil out of the pan.
Place the pan back over medium heat. Add the prepared sauce to the hot pan (it should come to a boil almost immediately). Stir in a few tablespoons of cornstarch to start the thickening process. Add the sliced scallions, stirring to combine.
Add the reserved steak immediately and cook at a boil, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. The sauce will thicken up nicely.
Serve with rice. Jasmine is really lovely, the flavors together are awesome. But for health reasons brown would work as well.
Slice the flank steak against the grain into 1/4-inch pieces (a little thicker than mine would probably be best to keep them tender), then toss it with the cornstarch. Allow the steak to sit for 10 minutes, or until you're ready to cook it. This step is important, so don't cut corners here—the cornstarch is what will ultimately thicken the sauce.
Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic, and sauté until golden (about 2 minutes). Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Place the pan back over medium heat. Add the prepared sauce to the hot pan (it should come to a boil almost immediately), stir in a few tablespoons of cornstarch, then add the reserved steak and cook at a boil, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. The sauce should thicken during this time. Add the sliced scallions, stirring to combine.
Serve on top of rice. Keeps in the fridge for several days.
It came out great. I laid it on a nest of hokkien noodles The next time, I will try thin sliced pork loin (since it is $2 per pound at Sam's).
So glad it came out well!
How many does this feed?
I'd say it serves 2 people, particularly if you don't have lots of side dishes. It can easily be doubled. Hope that helps!


We programme a diverse range of projects, and whilst we work closely with artists, we are also keen to see submissions from groups in other disciplines including but not limited to architecture; science, information and technology; social sciences; activism. We are interested in projects that involve audiences in new and dynamic ways, work across disciplines, and educate and advocate for social, political and environmental change.
Applications will be judged by a panel including Ugly Duck staff, and three renowned guest curators, David Sabel from London Theatre Company, Ghislaine Boddington from body>data>space and Susie Thornberry from Artichoke.
In general, we allocate the successful applicants part of the building for a full weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). Collaborators have the option to pay £500+VAT for the weekend hire (or £750+VAT if your project requires the whole building), run a box office split, with Ugly Duck getting 40% of ticket sales. This is to cover electricity, heating, staffing and promotion of the event. For a free public event (e.g exhibition) we wouldn't ask you to pay a fee, we'll run a bar during the event and we might pair you with a play if suitable.
Ugly Duck helps to promote the events, though the oncoming project is expected to be responsible for the bulk of marketing.
Please read this brief carefully to get an idea of what we're looking for.
Please note that the details of the application process and programme terms and conditions are subject to change.
To discuss art projects or get more details please contact Geraldine on geraldine@uglyduck.org.uk.

An artist uses latex body paint to bring anatomical structures to life
By Tracy Vence | October 31, 2013
Getting to know the complex anatomical structures that make up the human body can be both fascinating and frightening. The thought of examining cadavers at close range is enough to send some potential anatomists running. Even for the non-squeamish, few outside of the medical profession can access this all-important learning tool. So Massachusetts-based artist Danny Quirk devised a way to bring human anatomy to life—by painting the bodies of live models with intricate illustrations of their musculoskeletal structures and vasculature, among other things.
"We as humans are naturally curious, and it's just a shame that something has to be labeled 'gross' or 'bad' or 'scary' that would deter so many people from indulging in something so awesome," says Quirk. "My ultimate goal is to get people to not be afraid of who they are."
After earning a bachelor's degree from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, Quirk—who always had a personal interest in life science—found himself applying to medical schools, with the hopes of launching a career in biomedical illustration. After being turned away for lack of science training, he enrolled in cell biology, organic chemistry, and anatomy and physiology courses at colleges in Massachusetts. But he found himself uninspired by a lack of interactivity with the subject matters. So he began to contact biomedical researchers seeking additional information in his spare time. "I made friends . . . picked their minds, and traded work for [learning] opportunities," he says.
When Kathy Dooley, an adjunct professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, commissioned Quirk to produce biomedical illustrations, he bartered with her. Rather than accepting payment for the artwork, he asked for a spot in Dooley's gross anatomy class. It was during the cadaver dissection portion of her course that Quirk first got to "really see the body from the inside out," he recalls. Soon after, he began recreating the anatomical structures he saw in the dead on his friends, using permanent marker and latex body paint. The paintings, he says, are like "living lectures." As opposed to a 2-D depiction, paint on live models makes the art interactive. And because the models are living, breathing, and speaking, they're less intimidating to most viewers than a corpse.
Quirk is dead set on ensuring the anatomical accuracy of each of his works. A typical body paint application can take him up to eight hours to complete, and only lasts about 12 to 15 hours on the model. When faced with a fresh canvas, Quirk starts by identifying visible landmarks—such as bones that protrude somewhat from the skin—and then works from there to "connect the dots."
"Danny's work has attained great popular appeal, expanding medical illustration to contemporary art," says Tonya Hines, president of the Association of Medical Illustrators. "His body paintings are a dramatic blend of classical écorché"—an art form depicting the body's muscles without skin—"with a pop culture tattoo-like quality," she writes in an e-mail to The Scientist.
Quirk has enjoyed the popular acclaim his work has garnered recently, but the educational aspects of his art remain his focus. "With cadavers, I can see where they make people unsettled," he says. By taking the "gross" out of anatomy, Quirk hopes to "get people excited and curious about themselves, and actually enjoy what they are seeing as opposed to feel revolted [by it]," he adds.
Because "the discipline of medical illustration is all about education," Hines says, "I think it's fabulous that the public is drawn to his work."

Lake Malta
Located in the city of Poznań, at 52°24′9″N 16°58′15″E, Lake Malta is an artificial lake flowing out of the Cybina River. Lake Malta is 2.2 km long and 0.46 km wide with a surface area of 0.64 km². Average depth is 3.1 m, and at most 5 m deep. Lake Malta, a.k.a. Maltański Reservoir, was man-made in 1952 by damming off part of the Cybina River. The lake is named for the Knights of Malta. Lake Malta is sited on land given to the Church of St. John of Jerusalem Outside the Walls, a.k.a. Kościół św. Jana Jerozolimskiego za murami by Duke Mieszko the Old in 1187. The property was outside the protective walls of his medieval castle. Lake Malta provides one of the most revered European rowing venues in the Malta Regatta course established in 1952 holding many World Cup events.

Q: Hibernate Single Table Hierarchy I'm still learning Hibernate (jpa annotation) with Spring, but is there a way I would be able to take a single table and output hierarchical structure? Eg, I have a table called 'books' with the columns: book_id, author, library, floor, section. Is there a way I could return it with library -> floor -> section -> all the books in that section.
I have a class called books that essentially provides the everything required for creating the table. I also created a controller that lets me retrieve all the books, and it outputs it onto the webpage in a JSON format. Is there a way I could do this so it'll be hierarchical.
My first thought would be to make classes called library, floor, and section. Library would hold the name of the library and a list of floors in that library, floor would hold hold the name of the floot and a list of sections in that floor, and section would hold the name of the section and a list of all the books in that section. It became very long and involved, and I couldn't even get it to work, so I was hoping there was a much simpler way of doing it.

A: Yes there is, you can map ORM hierarchy in one of 3 ways, single table, one per concrete class and one per relationship.
For single table you have to use a discriminator column in the table that differentiates data and tells what row is for which object.

Referees are accused of guesswork by Holleran
Paul Holleran believes Brakes have been on the wrong end of a few decisions in the opening weeks of the season.
Published: 10:26 Thursday 15 August 2019
Leamington boss Paul Holleran has accused referees of guessing after his side picked up their fourth red card of the National League North season at Boston in midweek.
Jordan Murphy and Junior English were both dismissed after an ugly melee late in their 1-0 defeat in Lincolnshire along with Jay Thewlis and Jay Rollins from the home side.
It followed a red card for English against Curzon Ashton four days earlier and one for Jack Edwards on the opening day which was later rescinded and Holleran says referees need to be 100 per cent sure when they make their decisions.
"There's no doubt about it, we have come out the wrong end of a few decisions," said Holleran.
"If you look at football in general there have been a lot of penalties and cards being given.
"Junior's decision on Saturday, it was very harsh.
"Referees are guessing.
"We had a really good camera angle for Jack's sending off at Kidderminster and the referee's view was blocked by Callum Gittings and Milan Butterfield.
"He saw the aftermath a couple of seconds later
"It was the same again on Saturday.
"You've got the referee running 60 yards to ask his assistant who was 80 yards away.
"On Tuesday it was played in good spirit, not a bad tackle.
"There's a bit of handbags and the referee calls the assistant referee over from where I am standing - I couldn't see what was going on for all the bodies. It's all guesswork and they end up sending four players off.

"Apparently, there's head to head contact with Rollins and Murphy but no headbutt and Junior has done what he can to get out of the melee.
"All of a sudden he's got two red cards and he's not done a lot."
Holleran was keen not to lay the blame for Tuesday's defeat directly at the door of referee Dean Watson, however.
"We paid the price for playing so long with ten men on Saturday," he said.
"We started brightly but our legs went a little bit and the game went away from us.
"You can't deny the best team won.
"They've been able to go out and sign three very good strikers in the summer. Clever players."
The challenges do not get any easier for Brakes with a trip to leaders York City on Saturday.
It will be followed by the first blank midweek of a congested start to the campaign and Holleran admits the breather will be a welcome one for his slim squad.
"I called it at the start of the season that we need to get through the first five games.
"The stats show we are better playing Saturday to Saturday.
"However, if you can't look forward to a game at York you shouldn't be in this league."

Blogging for Business – Should Your Business have a Blog?
Do you need a blog for your business site? Some business owners decide not to include this element in their website. But are they missing out on one of the most significant leads generators? Perhaps.
Blogging is an online activity that was first introduced in 1994 by a college student who thought it was a good way to record personal events and log vacation time. At that time, a blog was just called a "personal home page." In fact, the term "blog," (meaning "web log") didn't come around until about 1997 when the idea started to catch on with other platforms.
Blogging has come a long way since those early days. Now, it is not just used for people to record their family events and vacations. Blogging also serves as a way for online web owners to promote their business.
The question of whether a business should have a blog is pretty academic to our current day. Blogs are now considered one of the most important aspects of promoting an online business. You can start a blog on your website platform if that feature is available or you could start an off-site blog that exists on another server off of your main page.
Many different platforms feature a blogging option, and most web servers now have this function available to site owners. Many online web servers offer a blog as one of the pages that you can create at no extra charge.
Some of the most popular off-site blogging platforms are mentioned below.
Blogger.com is one of the most popular blogging platforms. It is owned by Google, and this gives you an advantage over the other platforms since it is automatically promoted in the Google searches. This means that, once you make a post public, it will automatically go live and be featured in Google searches with any keywords that you have optimized in your entry.
Google also uses an abbreviated form of their Analytics engine to allow you to track the success and popularity of a post. You can view this in real time on the Blogger.com site.
Blogger's platform also makes it easy to include Google Adsense campaigns within your blog post. At one time, Google allowed users to decide which ads to run. Now, they have simplified this process by automatically inserting the appropriate ads into your blog entries. They match up your content as closely as possible with the ads that run, increasing the chances of you earning revenue from the ads.
WordPress.org is another equally popular blogging platform that is off-site. It allows you to create original web pages or blogs in a format that captures your branding and style. WordPress is most popular for its themes that you can choose from a variety of different styles and looks.
See some examples of the WordPress themes here.
Either Blogger or WordPress are excellent choices to place your blog with. However, you may also want to consider having an on-site blog.
You may ask what the advantages are to an on-site blog. For one thing, it is more convenient and simple to write a blog post when it is located on your web server site. You may create more posts if it is easy to access and post new material. However, there are also many disadvantages to free hosting blog sites as well — such as not having complete ownership over your content, the inability to customize the look and feel or your site, and also that it comes off unprofessional.
As long as your blog is related to your business site content, creating a tab or a page that users can read on your site gives them easy access to your content.
If you announce something new on your blog related to your company, you may be able to create additional excitement for the new feature or increase the level of hype that you can generate for your brand.
On-site blogging also enhances the amount of traffic that you can receive on your site since it becomes a part of your website that is "crawled" by Google. Your pages are all indexed and crawled separately so it's possible that new users may find your page through your on-site blog who may not have located you otherwise. This is the best reason of all as to why you should have an on-site blog, even if you also have an off-site blog.
Once you have a blog, you have the capability of using it as an integral part of your online marketing plan. By posting new blog posts on your Facebook or Twitter accounts, as well as emailing new posts to subscribers, you can create a great deal of interest in your brand. This keeps you in touch with your target audience while generating interest in new ideas and products.
Another thing you need to do when creating a blog for your business is thinking about how to integrate it within your branding. You need to match your blog with your brand and your website as much as possible because it is a part of your overall branding.
Consider an on-site blog within the framework of your website.
Use the same theme for your blog as your website to help with branding.
Create an easy-to-use website that is simple to access.
All of these tips are great ideas to follow if you are trying to increase your impact with your target audience and promote your company through your blog. You should keep in mind that your blog does not stand alone. It is just another practical tool that you should use in conjunction with the many other tools that you utilize to promote your brand.
One of the things that is different about blogging is that you can speak to your customers' needs in a casual, informal way. It puts you on the same level of your audience who might otherwise just see you as a corporate executive. This can help your credibility and trustworthiness since you are coming out on your blog to address the customers directly.
If you need a professional-looking website that allows you the freedom to use either on-site or off-site blogging platforms, see us. We are the Web Design Team, and we understand the importance of having choices. We allow you the freedom to create your blog either on-site or off-site and integrate it within your other assets.

The beauty of sprouted grain is that it makes vital nutrients more available than unsprouted grain. The major benefit is that after sprouting, the nutrient are in a state that can more readily be absorbed and digested by the body. Phytic acid , and enzyme inhibitor, is present in the outer, or bran, layer of whole grain. It can combine with calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and especially zinc in the intestinal tract and block their absorption. Sprouted grains contain enzymes, lactobacillus and other helpful organisms which break down and neutralize phytic acid, allowing your body to better absorb and nutrients. This is what aids digestion.

Introduction to the 'Annales de l'Empire depuis Charlemagne'
The publication of the Annales de l'Empire depuis Charlemagne (Œuvres complètes de Voltaire, volumes 44A-C), and the Précis du siècle de Louis XV (OCV, volumes 29A-C, an eyewitness account of Voltaire's own era), will complete the full range of first-ever critical editions of Voltaire's histories, published by the Voltaire Foundation. These works have been somewhat neglected within Voltaire's œuvre despite making up such a significant proportion of it. The Annales in particular is often thought of as rushed and superficial when placed alongside more substantial works like the Essai sur les mœurs et l'esprit des nations and the Siècle de Louis XIV. This series of introductory articles suggests some reasons why we think this lesser-known historical work is well worth revisiting and offers much to enjoy.

In many ways, the Annales is the most conventional and accessible of Voltaire's histories. It focuses on one (albeit large) part of the world, the Holy Roman Empire, and relates its major historical events in chronological order, broken up into bite-sized yearly instalments. The Annales was written on the behest of Louise-Dorothée, Duchess of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, in a remarkably short length of time: she suggested the project during Voltaire's stay in Gotha (spring 1753); he described it as 'nearly finished' on 3 September of the same year; and it was published between January and March 1754.
The Annales was explicitly instructive in nature and written with a specific readership in mind:
An illustration from the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicle by Hartmann Schedel depicting Charlemagne's genealogy. Charlemagne is in the bottom-left-hand corner.
'Above all I have endeavoured to make this book useful to young people, I believe this to be true, and I am flattered that it could be necessary to the education of the German nobility.'
['J'ai tâché surtout de rendre ce livre utile aux jeunes gens, je le crois exact, et on me flatte qu'il pourrait être nécessaire à l'éducation de la noblesse d'Allemagne.']
Voltaire, Correspondence and related documents, éd. Th. Besterman, in Œuvres complètes de Voltaire, vol.85-135 (Oxford, 1968-1977), letter D5623, to Georg Conrad Walther.
Double-headed eagle with coats of arms of individual states, the symbol of the Holy Roman Empire, by Hans Burgkmair der Ältere (1510).
The work was aimed at young, educated German nobles wishing to practise reading in French while learning about this history of their country, a fact that may explain its more conventional shape among Voltaire's histories. Rather than tackling the more slippery ideas of the mores, culture and spirit of nations, it sets its sights on the singular concept of empire, with Voltaire seeming to backtrack on his desire in the Essai sur les mœurs to move away from histories of well-trod political and military matters. However, as we shall see, some of the more philosophical aspects of the Essai sur les mœurs are returned to in the Annales, which are not as straightforward as they may at first seem.
The 'Gallery of emperors' introduces some of the more memorable emperors we meet in the Annales.
'Voltaire's republic' tackles some of the political concepts explored during the course of the work.
'Voltaire and self-plagiarism' looks at the overlap between the Annales and Voltaire's other histories.

'Annales de l'Empire': Gallery of emperors
There are common threads running through Voltaire's descriptions of four of the most famous Holy Roman Emperors.
'Annales de l'Empire': Voltaire's republic
For Voltaire, the republic is a primitive form of government that is closely aligned with human nature and natural right.

There is undeniably a great deal of borrowing of material between the 'Annales' and the 'Essai'.

Essai sur les mœurs et l'esprit des nations
Voltaire's Essai sur les mœurs et l'esprit des nations is a monumental work which has changed the face of western historiography.
Voltaire as philosophical historian and historian of modernity
Voltaire was not an academic historian. In his defence, he never claimed to be one, and his histories are all the more interesting for it.

Radamiz speaks loud and carries a big stick. His delivery is explosive and his message is urgent. He doesn't stray far from his usual formula on his latest single "Save The Youth". Now we see him alongside Tedy Andreas and History, putting his foot down on the throat of anything restraining him and his generation. From the outside looking in the record is powerful; two Brooklyn heads and a Texas kid who have put years of blood and sweat into their craft letting loose on behalf of the youth. When a track comes together with confidence and bold intentions it becomes easier to listen to.
