We have reached the point where form and history are in conflict in the Power Conference. With Ryerson holding the No. 1 seed for the OUA Wilson Cup, it sets up that Ottawa will likely have to defeat Carleton for the third time in a row in order to directly qualify for the Final 8. When was the last time a team did that against Carleton?
Carleton is No. 1 in the country but No. 3 for the playoffs and is also 0-3 against the Gee-Gees and Rams, but those games were three weeks ago.
By now, all of you are all familiar with Rule 4.2.4, which mandates that a conference champion cannot be seeded lower than sixth. This is also known as the, "We Won Our Conference And All We Got Was A Lesson From Carleton, And A Consolation Game" rule. You have also been around the block enough times to know that the UBC Thunderbirds will be placed in the most sales-driven seed, which likely means No. 5.
To quote the guy who taught another Plato, the only knowledge is knowing you know nothing. Then again, I bet on the Oklahoma City Thunder for a push against Stephen Curry on Saturday night. Lo and behold, three-point underdog OKC made sure that Golden State did not cover the spread. So there.
Ottawa (OUA Wilson Cup champion) — Give a good team enough chances to learn how to close out fourth quarters, and eventually they will.
Ryerson (OUA runner-up) — The Rams have not really cemented lead-horse status going into the playoffs. The ATC should take in that stabilizing force Juwon Grannum has only played 36 minutes across the past five games due to injuries. It also means that anyone intuiting that history says it might be tough for Ottawa to beat Carleton, thrice, also has to concede the point that it would be about as tough for Ryerson to defeat Ottawa, twice in a row.
Consider this is a noncommittal attempt to split the difference. If it was a layup attempt, Ryerson's Kadeem Green would block and redirect the ball for an outlet pass.
Calgary Dinos (Canada West champion) — Nothing has really happened to indicate it will be any different. Can't cast aspersions on the Dinos while the top six seeds await winners CW's play-in series.
P.S.: Go Griffins and Wesmen!
UBC Thunderbirds (host) — See what was said above UBC getting the pragmatic treatment from the organizers. The 'Birds will surely play that late quarter-final on Thursday night. That would mean the top seed out of Ontario, which already had a tantamount four-hour time zone change with the combination of Daylight Savings (March 13) and the cross-Canada trip, will play in a 9 p.m. ET quarter-final and 8:30 p.m.. ET semifinal.
The geographical bias went the other way almost exclusively for generations, so that's not a complaint. Just a consideration.
Acadia Axemen (AUS champion) — The best conference playoffs in the country have the dominoes arranged in a fun way, as always. Javon Masters and the fourth-seeded UNB Varsity Reds are the 4 seed; if they keep their composure, they can get by Saint Mary's on Friday. Acadia winning against Cape Breton, the Power That Is Meshack Lufile notwithstanding, is the form pick in the 6 vs. 3 quarter-final since the Axemen won 3-of-4.
That would set up a great set of semifinals: AUS scoring champ Masters and the V-Reds against the tenacious, defend-all-day Dalhousie Tigers; Acadia taking on their old friends Tyler Scott and Bradley States of UPEI. I am little fixated on the fact that Acadia limited AUS foes to 32 per cent from three-point land. If they defend, they can do it.
The Panthers swept a two-game set from Acadia recently, but the fouls were 45-27 in their favour that weekend on Prince Edward Island. What happens in a mainland matchup? Anyway, one over-simplification from Upper Canada is that an Acadia/UPEI winner rides the momentum to the conference banner. This a conference that is never that simple; it is the CIS equivalent to a lovable, one-bid D1 mid-major that's much more watchable during Conference Championship Week than any Power Five conference that's thrown together for football purposes.
Dalhousie is the best defensive ball club, though, and that is why it is top seed and the default pick to go to the Left Coast.
Carleton Ravens (at large; OUA bronze medal) — There is no road map for how the behemoth off of Bronson Ave. will react if it loses a go-to-nationals OUA semifinal and has to regroup for the OUA bronze game in fewer than 24 hours' time. Carleton has never had to play a bronze game during their entire dynasty.
The men's basketball solons were still holding out on a Final 8 bronze game when the Ravens lost national semifinals in both 2008 and '10. In 2006, they lost to Tut Ruach and the York Lions in the OUA East semifinal with Aaron Doornekamp out with a sprained ankle. After getting the wild card and a No. 3 seed, they beat UQAM, Cape Breton and Victoria by a combined margin of 21 points for National Title No. 4.
Besides, Final 8 wild-card implications mean that bronze-medal games at provincials are much different than those at nationals. Carleton beat McMaster on the road on Feb. 13, so they get a tentative benefit of the doubt.
Manitoba Bisons (Canada West auto berth) — The great Wayne Thomas has all the Canada West playoff coverage one could ever desire. Poring over the bracket that Thomas posted, the one thought is that less is more when it comes to the student-athlete experience.
In other words, Canada West spends a lot of miles in the air and nights in a hotel on a postseason that is stacked against lower seeds and not overly media-friendly. The lower seeds have to travel a province or three to beat a team twice in three falls on its own floor, then travel again to win a go-to-nationals semifinal.
Canada West is probably sated with realignment. I also happen to like-like the whole Explorers and Pioneers idea, even if it was made at the point of the 'UBC is going to take its ball and bolt for the NCAA' gun.
Would it not make more sense, especially to a media partner such as Shaw, to just blow the dust off the GPAC and have two single-site final fours for the berths? Let each team have a banner as Canada West co-champion and week off for reading in the physiotherapy room.
Circling back, if all top four seeds go through, the CW Final Four is Manitoba-Calgary and Thompson Rivers-UBC. Kirby Schepp's Bisons rate a good chance at winning at least one game against that field.
I consider myself shockproof; the only shock could come from being proven correct.
Carleton is one in the country and three in the playoffs because the country rankings are polls conducted by coaches and playoffs are determined by how you actually play, you know like results, kind of like put up or shut up.
your takes on ottawa and ryerson are very short sighted and have a very pro carleton feel. 1 does carleton sponsor your blog because if so this makes sense. otherwise ryerson and ottawa are two very athletic teams with versatile players at every position. they are able to switch most match ups on the floor and still gets stops by being able to minimize mismatches. Carleton is of the same breath in style of play but more traditional in play style then the other two teams, by that I mean certain players score in in less ways. Carleton players all shoot the three very well and from there they have players who drive or post where as ryerson and ottawa are streaky shooters but they all can drive,dish,and get going from outside. the one advantage carleton has clear and above the rest is there experience and stoic play through bad calls, they are unflappable and play hard through anything where the other two would not handle adverse calls and games as well.
Takes on McGill and Calgary are fair. Comments on UBC and the Aus conference i don't know much if anything on to know whether you know what you are talking about.
and then back to carleton. your comments are accurate but i cannot stress enough the bias and favouritism detected for this perennially strong ball club. Cannot help but wonder are they sponsoring this blog?
Great takes ... and considering I'm Ottawa's football play by play guy and a Queen's grad, I don't think Carleton is sponsoring.
hmm, well not that a personal blog has to be accurate because it is simply ones opinion but maybe people would take it more seriously if it was a little more informed? How can you write about other teams and not know anything about them? Simply state you do not know enough about certain teams to comment or don't write about the OUA basketball playoffs and write a column on how Carleton should not be taken lightly as the three seed?
The word "lightly" doesn't appear in the article whatsoever. Try not making stuff up next time.
Neate is uninformed? That will be news to those of us who have been reading his CIS basketball coverage for at least a decade. I suspect he watches a lot more CIS basketball than you and I combined.
Here's another hot take: Just because someone's opinion differs from you doesn't mean that person is uninformed.

This was such a fun project for me! I loved working on this colorful and fun branding project for Paige Walker Photography. I mean look at that mood board? How fun is that!?!?!
Paige is a photographer who specializes in newborns and young families and she really wanted her brand to attract those clients. She wanted a playful, high-end, youthful, fun and modern feel and I really feel like we accomplished that through the use of colors and fonts.
We did a Prophoto 6 template install for her as well. The template was by Swoon, and we updated it to match her new branding. Go check it out!


A Statistical Analysis of the Patent Bar: Where are the Software-Savvy Patent Attorneys?
This paper was viewed on the Social Science Research Network by approaching 3,000 researchers and has been a top ten download on the Legal Scholarship Network for four days with over one thousands downloads.
Among the many factors that impact the declining quality of U.S. patents is the increasing disconnect between the technological education patent bar members have and the fields in which patents are being written. Based on an empirical study, the authors show that too few patent attorneys and agents have relevant experience in the most often patented areas today, such as computer science. An examination of the qualification practices of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO") suggests that an institutional bias exists within the PTO that prevents software-savvy individuals from registering with the Office. The paper concludes with suggestions of how the identified problems can be corrected.
Note: the data covers he years 1983, 1990 - 2005. Data entry prior to 1983 and 1984-1989 was missing application dates and therefore was not graphed.

May. 21, 2018 4:15 p.m.
Tofino police have confirmed that a 52 year-old woman died after an ocean accident off Long Beach near Tofino on Sunday morning.
Cpl. Stu Hert of the Tofino RCMP told the Westerly News police received a report of a woman in distress in the water near Lovekin Rock around 10:30 a.m.
"By the time emergency services arrived, people in the area, and other surfers, had assisted in removing her from the water and First Aid was rendered, however, she did not survive," Hert said adding the woman was not a local resident.
He said no foul play is suspected and added that locals and visitors must be aware of the risks posed by the ocean.
Police have not released the identity of the woman, but Vernon, B.C. resident Victoria Emon told the Westerly News the woman was her mother, Ann Wittenberg, and that the family was visiting Tofino for Emon's wedding, which was scheduled for 4:30 p.m. on Sunday.
"She came from Ottawa to be here…She was so excited. Her and my sister were just floating talking about how much fun they were having and then they got sucked in," Emon told the Westerly News.
David Jensen was one of the bystanders who helped pull the woman from the ocean on Sunday morning and he is urging Tofino, Ucluelet and the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve to bring lifeguards back to Long Beach.
Jensen a former local who now lives near Errington and visits the West Coast frequently to surf, told the Westerly News that he was out for a paddle off Long Beach when he heard someone in distress.
He said he made his way to the spot and helped the other two surfers trying to assist a woman who, he said, was unresponsive.
He said it took roughly 15 minutes to get the woman onto the beach where a bystander performed CPR before paramedics arrived minutes later and transported the woman away in an ambulance.
Jensen said the incident could have been prevented if the surf guard tower that was torn down in 2012, was still in place. The surf guard program involved four lifeguards watching over Long Beach from the tower, located near Lovekin Rock, and it had been in place for roughly 40 years before being removed by the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve due to budget cuts in 2012.
Jensen said lifeguards would have immediately steered the surfer he helped try to rescue on Sunday away from Lovekin before the incident occurred.
"If there was a manned lifeguard tower there, that would have never happened today. That would have been stopped before that critical situation," he said.
He added there are signs at Long Beach's trail-heads warning surfers about the dangers of both Lovekin and Incinerator Rock, especially during low tide, but it routinely falls on seasoned surfers in the area to keep novice surfers who did not read the signs away from danger.
A University of Victoria student died after a surfing accident near Lovekin Rock on Feb. 10.
Jensen said reviving the Park Reserve's surf guard program should be a top priority as the area's surfing popularity continues to skyrocket.
He said Sunday's incident was preventable and that Tofino and Ucluelet's councils and businesses should collaborate with the Park Reserve to bring lifeguards back to the beach.
Two local surf instructors urged Tofino's municipal council to put a lifeguard program in place during an August 23 council meeting last year.

Beautiful vintage hand carved wood plinth once served as the base of a column in an Indian home. Will make a wonderful base for a sundial. The wood block features ornamental elements that were beautifully hand chiseled by a craftsmen. This piece has very nice detailing with colors that have faded in the Rajasthani desert sun. The age is at least 50 years old.
Since this mounting a sundial is repurposing the base, the sundial will simply rest on the base and not attach like our other stands. If you have a Rome sundial with a bracket in the center of the dial, the bracket will sit nicely inside the hole in the center of the wood.
We found this ornamental wood plinth on a trip to the Indian desert state of Rajasthan where I work with people who specialize in recovering visually and historically interesting elements from homes and buildings that are torn down.
This is a one of a kind piece and has some beautiful detailing. You'll see on one of the pictures that I show all 4 sides, so you can get a better idea as to the detailing and condition of the wood.

An excerpt from our newly published interview with Alison Palmer.
"I want the reader to feel empathy towards the hunter and the hunted. I am an extremely hopeless and a very curious romantic, and I enjoy learning the psychology behind why we put ourselves through the rigors of dating, desire, marriage, monogamy, divorce. I've come to the conclusion that we are both utterly defenseless and relentlessly ruthless toward one another (and nature), ideas that drive the collection as a whole."

Alison Palmer is the author of the poetry chapbook, The Need for Hiding (Dancing Girl Press, 2018). She earned an MFA in Poetry from Washington University in St. Louis and a B.A. in Creative Writing from Oberlin College, where she was the recipient of the Emma Howell Memorial Poetry Prize. The Poet's Billow chose Alison for their 2015 Atlantis Poetry Prize, and in 2017 she was a Pushcart Prize and Best New Poets nominee.

Go to our website for the entire interview.
Here is an excerpt:
I think I just realized that with poetry I had to be willing to explore my own distances, get out of a comfort zone that was only "comfortable" because I told myself it was. I had to be able to open the doors that I was once content to leave locked forever. I had to be devoted to the pursuit rather than to the "right ending." The poet, upon opening one door and seeing there are infinite doors ahead, says, "Yes! This is exactly what I want to do with my time—open doors that lead to more doors."

What, you may ax, can be better than one stunning tuxie? Why two, of course!
Every once in a while, Pop will see me reading a blog or looking at an online photo and he'll comment how much [so and so cat] looks like me. I decided to have some fun and call it Two for Tuxie Tuesday.
Look carefully. Can you tell us apart? Do you think we're part of the same litter? I think we could be.
Tomorrow I'm going to have some fun with another tuxie furrend of mine. Hope you'll come back to visit.
Wow - Twins? Both lovely and both with that special colouring!! I had to blonk when I checked the pictures out!!

SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties restores your home or business after a storm or flood damage, so it's like it never even happened.
Storm safety tips are incredibly important, especially considering the large number of storms, flooding, rain we've had over the past couple of weeks, months. As a result, chances are, you had some water seep into your residence or commercial building. And if it's not addressed quickly, it can cause some serious damage. Storm and flood damage require specialized restoration techniques and equipment. And that's where the SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties' pros (heroes) come in. With us, you can feel confident you have a trusted leader in the water restoration industry and highly trained storm damage specialists right here in Cape Girardeau and the surrounding areas.
Here are 4 storm safety tips in the event your home or business is hit with storm or flood damage.
Keeping a battery-powered radio nearby is a must, especially during a storm. As consumers, we've become so reliant on our mobile devices and landlines. But, what if they didn't operate during a storm? What if they lost signal? What would you do? It could be very scary. That's why it is vital you keep a battery-powered radio in your home or business so you can tune to local radio stations if you lose electricity. During a storm, it's incumbent to be in-the-know and stay well-informed for you and your family's protection.
Make it a regime to check or change batteries (perhaps, once a month) of any device you would possibly need during a storm. This could range from a flashlight to a radio to a remote control, etc. Never assume the batteries are working properly in any device. It's always a good idea to test it frequently to ensure it's functioning properly, that way, you're well-prepared should a storm strikes.
It's a good idea to keep a flashlight on-hand. And the key is to store it in an easily accessible spot on every floor of your home and/or business. Make sure everyone knows where they are stored. The last thing you want during a storm is for everyone to be frantically running around trying to locate the flashlight. Communication is key.
Keeping candles and a light source (matches or lighter) in close proximity is another great storm safety tip. Should you lose electricity during a storm, candles will help illuminate your space until electricity is restored. But, also, keep in mind, if you have little ones, be sure to keep candles and light sources out of their reach.
SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties has a team of heroes who are faster to any size disaster should your home and/or commercial property is hit with storm or flood damage. Our team has helped out with local storm damage as well as others throughout the United States. We are strategically positioned and mobile so we can better serve you -- and faster. We are locally owned and operated with national storm resources. So, this affords us the opportunity to easily access resources from more than 1,700 Franchises and utilize our Disaster Recovery Teams for major storms and disasters. When it comes to storm damage cleanup, it's the SERVPRO advantage. We are your storm damage cleanup and restoration company.
Don't wait for a storm to happen; be well-equipped for when a storm happens. Preparation is key. Contact us to see how our heroes can get you prepared if your home or business encounters storm or flood damage.

"Who Killed Superwoman?" - Part 4: "Together Again: For the Very First Time"
Lana Lang is dying, and her powers that make her Superwoman are the cause. Lois Lane has returned, but in a form that only Lana can perceive. Lex Luthor is trapped in a temporal prison, and the Bizarro Superwoman along with Lena Luthor are about to decimate Metropolis.
"Who Killed Superwoman?" - Part 5: "Together Again: For the Very First Time"
Lana Lang is still dying, but her powers are still needed as Lena Luthor is about destroying Lex Luthor's legacy, with extreme prejudice. Against Steel's protestations, Lana becomes Superwoman once more, but pays the price by issue's end.
"Who Killed Superwoman?" - Part 6: "Come Dancing"
Lana Lang is aided by one of her adversaries, the bizarre clone of Superwoman, and is able to defeat her doppelgänger. She then locates Lex Luthor, and receives additional assistance from Atomic Skull, before ending on yet another cliffhanger.
"Who Killed Superwoman?" - Conclusion: "Never Be Satisfied"
Superwoman and company face down Lena Luthor, and though successful, Superwoman's final fate is still uncertain as she proceeds to mimic the same throes that befell the New 52 Superman before he finally perished.
"By a Thread: Superwoman Reborn?"
In a state of imposed reverie, Lana Lang/Superwoman, carries on a discussion with the people of her past. The conversation provides her with direction, but not freedom from her unconscious state.
Lana Lang has been saved from death, but has lost the powers that made her Superwoman. John Henry tries to console her, but it takes Superman and an unintended emergency to clear Lana's mind and provide her with direction.
The Insect Queen armor still retains the energy that Lana Lang lost, and she decides to use it to battle Skyhook, a villain responsible for the abduction of Zeke Irons, the nephew of John Henry Irons.
Superwoman (Lana Lang) learns the whereabouts of Skyhook, and seeks to capture him without telling John or Natasha Irons, as she wants to protect them from doing something foolish. Instead, she bungles the situation and is left with the questions of failure.
Lana is having some tests done on her new suit which allows her to still be Superwoman after losing her original natural powers. Meanwhile Atomic Skull is chasing down Shockwave in hopes of coercing the location of Crash Irons, Zeke's father who has vowed to take down Skyhook. Upon capturing Shockwave, Maggie Sawyer and Atomic Skull play a game of good cop/bad cop and he tells them where to find Crash, but also reminds them that Crash has a past of selling illegal exotic weapons, that was then and this is now. Crash want's closure for his son Zeke, he vows he is coming for Skyhook tonight. Back at Lana's apartment John Henry Irons has his bags packed and informs Lana that he needs time to think. Lana tries to find out why and John says, "Zeke is my family not yours, it's not your business to decide how we deal with his loss". Meanwhile, Crash has found Skyhook and attempts to take him out, but fails to get the job done. Superwoman, Steel and Crash's daughter show up. Crash is so caught up in his son and his killer/abductor that he completely disregards her. Steel has to knock out Crash to get him to stop his pursuit. After a brief battle the heroes subdue Skyhook as Maggie Sawyer shows up to take Skyhook into custody. Superwoman informs Steel and Crash's daughter that it wasn't the suit that continued to give her powers, but the armor was channeling the power that she had inside her all along. She says she is not through learning about her powers and knows where to start.
As our story opens, Smallville is on fire, the 'Welcome to Smallville' sign, the fields and a dialog that reads, "Growing up this town was my haven, my neighbors were my friends, I never thought I would be the one who'd put this town in danger". Red Sun and Superwoman (?) are terrorizing Smallville, in their wake is devastation. Lex Luthor tries to reason with Superwoman reminding her that this is not who you are. Our hero struggles with her thoughts, she knows what she is doing is wrong, yet that part of her is being suppressed and she has no will to fight it. Lex tells her that he knows Red Sun is using Red Kryptonite to control her that she would never do this under her own accord. "Stop now or I will be forced to intervene!". She replies, "I came here to search for the source of my power, so do your worse, because I found it." Flash back to the past where a teenage version of Clark and Lana walking to school. Clark stops to help one of the older teachers cross the road when a gentleman named Amos Aimes comes riding up on his motorcycle. His motorcycle is backfiring so Lana offers her help in fixing it as she and her Grandpa used to work on motors before he passed away. In Chemistry class Lana and Lex Luthor get into an argument over who knows more about chemistry, landing them both in detention for disrupting the class. In gym Clark tells Lana she should stay away from Amos, he seems like "a bad seed". Lana tells Clark he is being a little possessive. Knowing Lana is in detention, Clark skips class so he too can get detention, after a couple attempts, and having to insult Shakespeare to his English teacher, he finally gets his wish. In detention Clark walks in to find Lex but no Lana as she decided to jump on Amos's motorcycle and have some fun. The bike hits a pothole and Amos and Lana go over the handlebar towards the ground. A blur comes and swoops up Lana before she hits. Clark asks Amos if he is hurt and reassures him that nothing is broken and turns his attention back to Lana. Lana tells Clark that months ago she told him that she liked him more than friends, "and that just made you all weird, so now that I have moved on your jealous?" Clark replies, "Maybe I am jealous, maybe I like you more than friends too maybe...", and Lana moves in for the kiss. Clark pulls away in pain as the necklace she is wearing starts to glow red. He asks her what it's made of and she replies, "Just some rock that Grandpa found in the field". Back to the present, Lex tells Superwoman Kryptonite is not the source of her power, "It is changing who you are". Red Sun attacks Lex and says, "I was not confident enough in high school to fight back Lex, but I am now". Lex replies, "Amos Aimes. I have been watching you." Superwoman and Red Sun continue to beat Lex down, Lana states that the necklace always made her feel stronger, so she sought out the only other person she knew who was exposed to Red Kryptonite. Lex tries to reason with Superwoman once more but she won't listen to him. She is getting ready to attack when a blur comes out of nowhere sending her tumbling across the ground. "Got your message Luthor. How can I help?" says Supergirl.
Superwoman and Supergirl monitor the progress of Lana's childhood and Amos, whose prolonged exposure to red kryptonite turned him into the rampaging Red Sun. Several million light years away a woman questions Supergirl's merit and claims that she deserves to carry the honor of high warrior and heir to Almerac. It is time for the real Maxima to return. As we return to Earth, Supergirl and Superwoman, who is inside the Kryptonian armor, are taking the fight to Red Sun. Trying to use the suit as a neutralizer to help transformer Red Sun back into Amos. They finally calm him down and bring him back to The Scabbard to continue testing, where they learn that the red K has changed his DNA and that he soon will be unable to return back to human form and will be Red Sun permanently. Maxima comes crashing through the building and a fight ensues between the three women. Maxima appears to be winning when another woman from Almerac comes through the portal and the three of them are able to subdue the first woman. After a brief heart to heart with this younger woman claiming to be Maxima, the three women go back to The Scabbard to check in on Amos. Unknown to them, the three women are being watched by an unknown source.
Lana sits at her desk at the Daily Star going over the events of the last few issues and where she got her powers from. "This is just who I am", she says to herself. At the Metropolis Transit Authority, an employee roams the hall upset that he once again has to work the midnight shift. He sits down at a computer when something comes out from the screen and pulls him in leaving behind a trail of zeros and ones. Back at the Daily Star, Lana's boss tells her she is working too hard and it's time to go home. Lana is releasing some built up frustrations by blowing up old outdated training tech when Lois shows up to check in on her. Lana is happy to see her but realizes John Henry must have called her. Los confirms he did but was in the neighborhood researching a missing person's story and was in the area. Lana confesses that everything going on, her Job, John Henry, her friendships, being Superwoman is overwhelming. Lois tells her she's tired and needs to take a break. At Steelworks Lana and company notice a series of black dots appearing on a map across the city. The crew seems to think they might be black holes, then Lana remembers Lois' missing persons story. At John Henry's apartment Lois comes to check on Lana, who hasn't been home in a few days. The two are attacked by a mysterious black cloud. It says that John Henry is strong and needs to be taken so it decides to go after Lois first. Steel grabs Lois and flies out the window, but the Black Cloud catches up to them and takes Steel. He has no choice but to drop Lois but tells her to find Lana. A broken and bloodied Lana appears at Steelworks and says, "...taken John... help me..."

Malcura
Triple J Unearthed: Malcura are an acoustic trio from Melbourne, Australia, whose sound explores the rhythmic style of flamenco, while drawing inspiration from genres such as progressive rock, pop and heavy metal.
2015 saw Malcura engage in an extensive year of street performing in Bourke St, the cultural epicentre of Melbourne CBD, alongside well-known acts such as The Pierce Brothers, Woodlock and Tash Sultana. Their tireless work busking in support of their debut EP, "Flamenco Metal", allowed them to steadily build their fan-base with sales in the thousands, while also developing the synergy of their live performance. During this time, Malcura began crafting what would eventually become their first full-length album.
Furthering the band's momentum was a chance appearance on stage at The Palais Theatre with Mexican guitar heroes Rodrigo y Gabriela during their 2015 Australian tour.
Malcura are an exhilarating acoustic trio from Australia. Honing their craft as buskers in Melbourne's Bourke Street Mall, Malcura have captivated the Australian public with their distinctive sound, which fuses Flamenco instrumentation with Latin rhythms and a Rock'n'roll mentality. Malcura create music for the soul; it's a feeling as much as it is a sound.
It has been a busy few years since Malcura made their mark with their debut EP "Flamenco Metal". Their tireless work has seen them grow their act from the streets to the big stage. The band attracted worldwide attention in 2015 with their original rendition of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky", providing the perfect platform to release their exceptional debut album in 2016.
"Malcura", the band's independent debut album, was released with a launch show on the Federation Square Main Stage in February 2016, followed by two East-Coast tours and extensive busking performances in support of the release. The album received tremendous support from Fiesta Jazz on PBS 106.7FM and high rotation on community radio nationwide, selling thousands of copies and receiving a nomination for the award of 2016's "Best Global/Reggae Album" at The Age Music Victoria Awards.

Swiss court to assess Polanski bail appeal
Roman Polanski has re-appealed to the Swiss courts to be released from prison on bail, officials said Tuesday, the latest step in the director's protracted legal battle to avoid extradition to the United States.

Nov. 3, 2009, 5:01 PM UTC / Source: The Associated Press
Roman Polanski has re-appealed to the Swiss courts to be released from prison on bail, officials said Tuesday, the latest step in the director's protracted legal battle to avoid extradition to the United States.
The Swiss Criminal Court declined to comment on the contents of the appeal, but the Justice Ministry said it was an offer that the government has already turned down in part because it lacked a cash guarantee.
Folco Galli, the Justice Ministry spokesman, said it was an appeal of a release request that was rejected last week. Such re-appeals are common under Swiss law.
The 76-year-old filmmaker has suffered a string of setbacks since he was arrested Sept. 26 in Zurich as he arrived to receive a lifetime achievement award from a film festival. Authorities in Los Angeles want him extradited for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl.
The court confirmed Tuesday that it received the appeal, a day after a lawyer for Polanski said the request had been filed and included adequate guarantees that he would not flee justice if released. Attorney Herve Temime had earlier said the appeal would include a significant cash amount, but did not repeat the claim on Monday.
Court official Patrick Guidon declined to say when a verdict might be expected.
Polanski is asking for the Swiss court to reverse the government's decision to reject bail because of the high risk he would flee the country, Galli said.
Swiss legal experts say Polanski has little hope of being released in Switzerland, but that a bail offer without a cash guarantee would have no chance.
The Swiss Criminal Court has already ruled once against Polanski, ordering him kept in jail last month despite an offer of his Gstaad chalet apartment as collateral, and house arrest and electronic monitoring as conditions of his freedom.
The director of such film classics as "Rosemary's Baby" and "Chinatown" was accused of raping the 13-year-old girl after plying her with champagne and a Quaalude pill during a modeling shoot in 1977. He was initially indicted on six felony counts, including rape by use of drugs, child molesting and sodomy.
Polanski pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of unlawful sexual intercourse. In exchange, the judge agreed to drop the remaining charges and sentence him to prison for a 90-day psychiatric evaluation. The evaluator release Polanski after 42 days, but the judge said he was going to send him back to serve out the 90 days. Polanski then fled the country on Feb. 1, 1978, the day he was to be sentenced.
Polanski claims the judge and prosecutors acted improperly, and a California appeals court will listen to oral arguments from his attorneys next month about why it should require a lower court to decide whether to dismiss charges against the fugitive director, whether he is present or not.
Meanwhile, Swiss authorities say they are still evaluating a formal U.S. request for Polanski's extradition. His detention could stretch out for months if he appeals extradition to the Swiss Criminal Court and, if needed, the Supreme Court.

Q: A matrix eigenvalue problem. This question is related to Ask some matrix eigenvalue inequalities.
Let $\begin{bmatrix}
A& B  \\\\ B^*  &A
\end{bmatrix}$ be positive semidefinite. Is it true $\lambda_i^{1/2}(B^*B)\le \lambda_i(A)$?      Here, $λ_i(⋅)$ means the ith largest eigenvalue of ⋅.

A: This is also false. Here is a counterexample.
A = \begin{bmatrix}
 1 & 1/\sqrt{2}\\\\
 1/\sqrt{2} & 1
\end{bmatrix}
B = \begin{bmatrix}
 0 & -1/\sqrt{2}\\\\
 1/\sqrt{2} & 0
\end{bmatrix}
Then, the said block matrix has eigenvalues $(0,0,2,2)$, while
$\lambda^{1/2}(B^TB) = (1/\sqrt{2},1/\sqrt{2})$ and
$\lambda(A) = (1+1/\sqrt{2},1-1/\sqrt{2}))$

Rachel Jessica Tan - a female celebrity - born on Monday June 17th 1985, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia,.
Rachel Jessica Tan is a born leader, with extra-ordinary drive and determination. Insisting on her right to make up her own mind, she demands freedom of thought and action, and does not let anything or anyone stand in her way once she is committed to her goal.
Always seeking the forefront and the limelight, Rach needs to feel in command of important undertakings, and resists supportive roles. She can become irritated and even domineering when important things do not go her way. Tan can be impatient with her shortcomings and those of others.
Rachel Jessica Tan is very concerned with her status and fosters the appearance of success and self-satisfaction. Interestingly, that very same need to appear well-off can be the fuel that propels Rach to strive for growth, success and the finer things of life.
Rachel Jessica Tan assumes the responsibility to be the protector and provider for those she loves, but demands their respect and attention in return.
Rachel Jessica Tan is full of energy, always on the go, fidgety, and quite hyperactive. Life is in a constant motion for her and she devours it powerfully.
She has great ability to put thoughts into action, and there is no wait once she sets her mind on something. Where others tend to think or dream, Rach already takes action while radiating energy, enthusiasm, and livelihood around.
Her physical stamina is strong, and she loves mental and physical exercise. Rachel Jessica Tan keep herself physically or mentally busy at all times, and she feels better spending time outdoors and eating natural foods.
Limited space is a major challenge for Rach, while exercise, proper diet, and rest are critical for her health. A good walk in the fresh air serves as an intellectual vehicle for her.
Entrepreneurial and progressive, Rachel Jessica Tan is ever-striving, heading for the top, and enjoying an enterprising, ambitious and determined personality to do things well, and an unyielding dedication to her plan until the goals are achieved.
There is danger, however that her trait of determination and dedication will shift to stubbornness, making Rach cling to ideas and projects well past their fruitious season. It is a good idea for her to keep fresh pipeline of ideas to make it easier to replace outdated plans by new and better ones.
Patient as she is towards her goals, Rach's flying, ravaging temper endangers her relationships with the very same people that will help her to accomplish those goals. She should use her strength of will to study and practice anger management.
Tour Rach's menu and gain more insight into her personality traits, relationships, strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, compatibility with you and with others, and much more.
April 21st 2019 is a day of change for Rachel Jessica Tan, one of which - perhaps a move or change of environment at work - also affects her family and friends.
Today also brings Rach increased workload and responsibility that she must not put off until tomorrow.

Times of London journo buys into Amnesty's latest anti-Israel smear
Earlier we posted about a Guardian report which legitimized baseless accusations that Israeli police are planting knives on innocent Palestinians after summarily executing them.
Additionally, a new Amnesty International report on Israel buttresses this Palestinian 'narrative' in a report which suggests a "clear pattern…of lethal force being used unlawfully by Israeli forces" against Palestinians.
Passage from Amnesty report
As NGO Monitor and the blogger Elder of Ziyon demonstrated, however, the Amnesty report relies almost exclusively on anonymous testimony, and presents nothing in the way of hard evidence to support its allegations.
Evidently, Times of London journo David Aaronovitch is among those who uncritically accept the claims of such egregiously biased NGOs, as he wrote the following in an article which actually condemned, as divisive and anti-peace, efforts to boycott Israel.
…for all the defeats of those pressing for a new Oslo, arguing for new talks (yes, including Hamas if necessary), no more settlements and an end to violence, there was always the fact that both peoples still said they wanted peace. Led properly, their latent common sense and desire to live side by side would win out.
Now even that has gone. Instead we have the stabbing intifada, the most intimate form of murder, designed to make the ability even to coexist in the same street impossible. Now Israeli security forces, as documented by Amnesty this week, seem ready to kill anyone suspected of carrying a knife.
Of course, the charge that Israeli security forces are nonchalantly killing any Palestinians even "suspected of carrying a knife" is smear against police and soldiers who are trying to defend against ongoing – extremely well–documented – attempts by terrorists to stab and hack Jews to death.
If Aaronovitch was truly interested in advancing peace, he would support Israeli efforts to defend itself against such extremists, and certainly wouldn't be parroting the bigoted caricatures of the IDF continually evoked by NGOs and anti-Israel news sites

LAX facial recognition pilot deemed successful, Lufthansa rolls out biometric gates
Written by Mark Satter
Mar 21, 2018 | STATESCOOP
Lufthansa, Europe's largest airline, launched a biometric boarding pilot program for its flights from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Monday. The airline hopes to expand the technology nationwide.
During an initial three-week trial period, which began at LAX earlier this month, nearly 350 passengers boarded an A380, the world's largest passenger airliner, in about 20 minutes, according to a statement released by the airline. The technology behind the self-boarding gates is facial recognition.
Cameras on gates photograph each passenger as they approach, and the photo is sent to the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agency's database. Once the passenger's face is matched with their name, they are marked as boarded and no longer need to present a boarding pass or passport. The whole process is designed to be as simple as walking straight through the gate.
"The increasing need for airlines, airports and authorities to offer faster and more convenient processes for guests to move through the airport creates a unique opportunity for the use of biometrics," said Bjoern Becker, senior director of product management and digital services for Lufthansa.
Lufthansa found a willing partner in CBP, which can ostensibly use the self-boarding gates to expand their database.
"CBP is excited to work with air travel industry partners like Lufthansa to demonstrate how facial biometrics can provide a range of traveler benefits for a secure and seamless passenger experience," John Wagner, deputy executive assistant commissioner for CBP's office of field operations, said in a statement.
The facial recognition technology used in the gates was developed by Lufthansa's longstanding IT partner Amadeus, a major Spanish IT provider, and VisionBox, a provider of automated border control systems.
"Biometric boarding has enormous potential to make the travel experience easier and less stressful," said Guido Haarmann, managing director of airlines for Amadeus. "Last year, over 1.6 billion passengers boarded planes using Amadeus Altéa technology."
Should the pilot program at LAX continue to succeed, Lufthansa intends to expand the program, bringing it to airports across the United States and perhaps to other transportation hubs, like train stations.
"We anticipate that in near time, biometric boarding, as well as other aspects of the air travel experience, will be widely utilized across the U.S. and beyond," said Becker.

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional 26 kD protein originally discovered in the medium of RNA-stimulated fibroblastoid cells. IL-6 appears to be directly involved in the responses that occur after infection and cellular injury, and it may prove to be important as IL-1 and TNF-a in regulating the acute phase response. IL-6 is reported to be produced by fibroblasts, activated T cells, activated monocytes or macrophages and endothelial cells. IL-6 acts upon a variety of cells including myeloid progenitor cells, T cells, B cells, and hepatocytes. In addition, IL-6 appears to interact with IL-2 in the proliferation of T lymphocytes. IL-6 potentiates the proliferative effect of IL-3 on multipotential hematopoietic progenitors. IL-6 plays a critical role in B-cell differentiation to plasma cells and is a potent growth factor for plasmacytoma and myeloma. IL-6 is a very useful culture supplement for the generation of a high number of antibody-producing hybridomas. Primarily produced at sites of acute and chronic inflammation, IL-6 is secreted into the serum and induces a transcriptional inflammatory response through interleukin 6 receptor, alpha. The functioning of IL-6 is implicated in a wide variety of inflammation-associated disease states including diabetes mellitus and systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

Belly Shiok!
Nothing speaks of love like a good ol' belly rub.
Pets Team 05 October 2020
Dogs enjoy a good ol' belly rub – any time of the day. It seems that there are both behavioural and neurological reasons as to why he particularly enjoys it.
It's an everyday affair: He flops over onto his back, and you give his exposed belly a good rub while you two watch the telly. If you've ever wondered why your pooch loves this so much, it's actually because when you stroke his underbelly fur, it triggers a neurological reaction that makes the entire experience super satisfying for him!
"I trust you"
As it is with cats, an exposed belly is a sign that your pooch trusts you. Rolling over to bare his belly leaves him physically vulnerable, and that's a pretty big deal!
"This feels good"
Fido has a particular brain neurone that responds solely to the stimulation of hair follicles. This means that when you rub his tummy, you are actually stroking his tiny belly hairs as well, thus providing a specific type of stimulation in his brain, which makes it enjoyable for him.
"Just a reflex"
When you scratch a dog's belly, you may sometimes notice that he kicks his legs. Does he do this out of pleasure? Not really, but it's not a bad thing either.
Underneath certain parts of the dog's skin are groups of nerves that connect to his spinal cord. When these nerves are activated, either by scratching or rubbing, they quickly send messages to the spinal cord, which then instructs his legs to kick.
This reaction is a self-defence mechanism for him, and is known as the scratch reflex! It's an involuntary response that occurs when your pooch feels the need to protect himself from annoying bugs or insects crawling on his skin.
If there are fleas running around his skin, the itchiness will cause the scratch reflex to activate, thus causing his legs to kick in hopes of getting rid of the bugs.
"Eh, maybe not"
If your dog rolls over voluntarily, go ahead and rub his belly! However, rolling him over, without him doing it on his own, is not advised as it could make him anxious and upset. As mentioned, rolling over puts Fido in a vulnerable position, so some dogs may not feel "safe" doing so in unfamiliar surroundings (such as at the park or even at your friend's house).
Lastly, don't forget to be gentle! Vigorous rubbing may be over-stimulating to some dogs and could cause discomfort. Always start off with gentle stroking, and pay careful attention to his reactions to see if he is enjoying it.

Franco Russo is one of the most exceptional artisans in Rome, whose marble skills I have used at both my hotels, Il Pellicano and La Posta Vecchia. His tiny studio at 40 Via di Panico is a cornucopia of marble treasures. Nearby on Via del Gesù is Ditta G Poggi (poggi1825.it), which sells everything to do with drawing and painting.
St Peter's Basilica.
Ditta G Poggi sells art supplies.
Also in the immediate vicinity are: Banchi 141 on Via dei Banchi Vecchi (banchi141.com) for beautiful handmade ceramics from Puglia; Percossi Papi on Via di Sant'Eustachio (percossipapistore.com) for exquisite, highly ornate jewellery – the type a modern-day Lucrezia Borgia would wear; and atelier Soledad Twombly on Via di Monserrato (soledadtwombly.com), a colourful outlet for homewares (cushions, throws, bed linen, rugs, ceramics), with a small fashion and accessories range.
Ask a local: Charleston, South Carolina
Colourful ceramics at Banchi 141.
For fashion, I love Bomba (cristinabomba.com), which offers a bespoke tailoring service as well as a great selection of ready- made clothing, shoes and accessories. A short walk away on Via dei Condotti is Eleuteri (eleuteri.nyc) for vintage jewellery.
Caterina Nelli and Michele Am Russo of clothing store Bomba.
C.u.c.i.n.a. at 65 Via Mario de'Fiori (cucinastore.com) is heaven for cooks, with every kind of kitchen gadget for sale. For the best Italian ingredients, Salumeria Volpetti at 47 Via Marmorata (volpetti.com) is a landmark for its cheese, ham, salami, bread and wine. Across the river in Trastevere, the city's oldest and most authentic flea market takes place at Porta Portese every Sunday.

Ask a local: Piet Hein Eek's guide to Eindhoven
By Piet Hein Eek
Roscioli is a family-run delicatessen, bar and restaurant.
Your first stop should be Roscioli (salumeriaroscioli.com) in the city centre at 21 Via dei Giubbonari. A family-run former grocery, this is now a gourmet's paradise with a delicatessen, wine cellar and restaurant. For traditional Roman cooking at its brilliant best, I love Da Enzo (daenzoal29.com), a simple trattoria on Via dei Vascellari. In the same area, Osteria La Gensola in Piazza della Gensola (osterialagensola.it) is a slightly more upmarket trattoria serving some of the best seafood in the city. Or try Il Sanlorenzo (ilsanlorenzo.it) in Campo dei Fiori, which is also excellent for fish. Also worth a visit is Pizzarium at 43 Via della Meloria, near the Vatican Museums, for the best pizza-by-the-slice courtesy of Gabriele Bonci, Rome's acclaimed pizza king.
Trapizzino sells takeaway pizza wraps.
Alternatively, try Trapizzino (trapizzino.it), which has five outlets in the city, for a takeaway pizza wrap with amazing fillings. One of my favourite restaurants for dinner is Antico Arco (anticoarco.it), up a steep hill in Trastevere. Creative dishes, such as the open kebab with chilli and yoghurt sauce, are absolutely delicious and there is a seven-course tasting menu. Trattoria da Cesare (trattoriadacesare.it) is worth the 20-minute drive from the centre of Rome. The setting is simple, but the food is the real thing and it is well off the normal tourist track – go for Sunday lunch.
Sant'Angelo Bridge features 10 statues of angels, which were designed by the baroque sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the 17th century.
Anything by the baroque sculptor and architect Bernini, from the provocative Ecstasy of Saint Teresa in the church of Santa Maria della Vittoria to St Peter's Baldachin in St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. I particularly love the 17th-century sculpture of Apollo and Daphne in the Borghese Gallery, where the figures appear to be almost alive and in motion. Tickets cost from €15.50; to book, visit galleriaborgheseticket.it.
The art nouveau Suite Presidential Veneziana at Hotel Locarno, where owner Caterina Valente is preserving a sense of Twenties glamour.
Perfectly positioned between the river and Villa Borghese park, Hotel Locarno is an art deco gem, unmatched – in my opinion – for Twenties glamour by any other hotel in Rome. Decorator and art collector Maria Teresa Celli created the look and feel of the place when she bought the hotel from its original owners in the Sixties. Now her daughter, Caterina Valente, has taken the reins, refurbishing the hotel in stages, but maintaining a magical spirit of the belle époque with abundant antiques and lavish textiles. The 44 rooms and suites are opulent but never over the top. Cocktails in the main bar or the courtyard are legendary and an essential precursor to a night out, while the panorama from the rooftop terrace is as sublime as any in Rome. On the doorstep, Via della Penna has numerous interesting shops and boutiques, or grab a complimentary bike to explore further afield. Doubles cost from €300. hotellocarno.com

"What I Want to Say — Coreforms and Keywords" Neopointillist Coreforms Give "Pop" to PopUp Loop Space. Today, we consider 'Overlap' as a possible keyword.
"What I Want to Say: Coreforms and Keywords" continues at the "PopUp Loop" Gallery Space at 23 East Madison in Chicago until Sunday, April 21. One Coreform of the installation/art action is the "dot" or "single stich" or tiny "mark" that is made by the artist. As artists participating in the PopUp, we consider how each of these marks creates an "overlapping" of form and concept. We overlap our ideas and images with each other, in a collaborative effort, and we also overlap our forms in relationship to artists of the past, such as Georges Seurat, who painted one of the most popular works in the Art Institute of Chicago (if not the history of art and culture). "Overlap" is one of the Keywords of our art action.

OPINION: Kendall Stanley — Well-deserved
If one were to look around the state for someone who epitomizes the best in conservation and preservation, you'd be hard pressed to find a person more qualified than Thomas Bailey.
The retired leader of the Little Traverse Conservancy was the recent recipient of the Thomas L. Washington Award for Lifetime Commitment to Conservation and Outdoor Recreation. The award is presented by the Michigan Natural Resources Commission.
Over the course of Bailey's 30-plus years at the helm of the conservancy, more than 60,000 acres of land, a large percentage of it including lake or river access, have been set aside for the enjoyment of Michigan's citizens. It is a premier conservancy not just in the state but nationally.
Conservation and love of the outdoors comes naturally to Bailey, whose father was a wildlife biologist for the DNR. College was all about natural resources and he worked at two national parks before joining the DNR and then the conservancy job came along.
"I was in the right place at the right time with the right organization," Bailey said in a Michigan Department of Natural Resources article which recently appeared in the News-Review.
It is, however, one thing to get your dream job and another to take that job and have an impact locally and regionally year after year after year. Tom did that.
The Washington award is perfect.
Tom Washington was head of the Michigan United Conservation Clubs and in its heyday it was a very powerful force to be reckoned with in Lansing.
The only reason Michigan has a bottle bill with a 10-cent deposit is because of Washington and the MUCC. Back in the 1970s the organization worked for the betterment of Michigan's outdoors, something both Toms enjoyed.
And to top it off, the conservancy just announced the acquisition of an eight-acre pristine parcel on Burt Lake, preserving 930 feet of shoreline.
After an American contractor was killed recently in the Mideast, apparently at the hand of Iran, President Trump was giving a list of ways to react. He chose to kill General Qassim Soleimani of Iran, heightening tensions between the U.S. and Iran. By Wednesday when this column was written it seems everyone was ready to stand down.
After firing off a couple dozen missiles at air bases in Iraq that did not kill or injure any Americans, Iran seemed to indicate that it would have no more retaliatory actions for the death of Soleimani, and President Trump indicated that the U.S. was moving on.
"Iran appears to be standing down which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world," Mr. Trump said in a televised statement from the Grand Foyer of the White House, flanked by his vice president, cabinet secretaries and senior military officers in their uniforms, according to The New York Times.
But this is still the beginning of a new chapter of U.S./Iran relations with the president vowing additional sanctions against Iran and Iran capable of keeping America on its toes because of the many Iranian surrogate groups spread across the Mideast.
As I write this it isn't clear what is happening in Iraq, where the parliament voted to boot U.S. troops out of the country — certainly a goal Iran would applaud.
It would seem a little odd that a president who says he wants to end never-ending wars would assassinate a leading general and not expect blowback from countries in the Mideast. Countries that have very long memories.
Also worrisome is the president and especially Secretary of State Mike Pompeo insisting that Soleimani was planning something bad and had to be stopped. Details were sketchy enough that many members of Congress were pushing to get a better explanation of what that threat was. It's not that we don't trust you President Trump, but we know you lie — a lot.
What's frustrating is there seems to be no coherent Middle East policy other than America First — which means what?
Americans typically support a war president. We'll just have to see if they support this one.
