Can't Government Have Legit Concerns: Top Court On Anti-Aadhaar Argument
The bench, which is hearing petitions challenging Aadhaar, said if the government was "confining itself to social welfare benefits" and checking whether people receiving benefits are alive or not without profiling the citizens, then can it not have "a legitimate concern in ensuring that the identity of beneficiaries is maintained".
All India | Press Trust of India | Updated: January 31, 2018 08:43 IST
The Supreme Court last year had extended deadline for mandatory linking of Aadhaar till March 31
New Delhi: Can the government not have "legitimate concern" that the benefits of its social welfare schemes are reaching the right persons or verify whether the beneficiaries are even alive or not, the Supreme Court asked today.
The question was posed by a five-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra, after a senior lawyer said this concern cannot justify the "aggregation" of personal and biometric details of all citizens which can lead to their profiling and surveillance on them.
"They (Centre and states) seem to be using it (Aadhaar details) for social welfare schemes... you (lawyer) made the point that it was capable of being used for profiling," the bench, also comprising Justices AK Sikri, AM Khanwilkar, DY Chandrachud and Ashok Bhushan, said.
Senior lawyer Shyam Divan, appearing for petitioners challenging the validity of the government's flagship Aadhaar programme and its enabling Act of 2016, said that even this concern cannot justify the "aggregation" of personal and biometric details of citizens.
The bench then referred to the government's response that it has been saving money by using Aadhaar in several schemes like MGNREGA, direct benefit transfer (DBT), LPG and kerosene distribution and asked: "Aggregation for ensuring social welfare benefits. Why wouldn't that pass the muster?"
During the day-long hearing, Mr Divan referred to a judgement of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in a Russian case related to interception of telephone communications and said it has been held that such interception violated the human rights conventions.
The ECHR held that if there was a system of surveillance in place, without effective remedies, an individual did not have to specifically show that he was under specific surveillance and the mere existence of a law itself was a violation of privacy rights, Mr Divan said.
He referred to another judgement of the ECHR in a case relating to retention of data. In this, the ECHR had held that holding fingerprints and DNA samples constituted "personal data" and retention of fingerprints may in itself give rise to important private life concerns, Mr Divan said.
He said various state governments like Madhya Pradesh and Orissa have been collating personal and biometric details for creating the State Residents Data Hub (SRDH), which will also contain the details collected while enrolling people for Aadhaar.
"Right from 2012, UIDAI encouraged the establishment of State Resident Data Hubs and there was budgetary allocation for various state governments," he said, adding that SRDH software was deployed and Aadhaar data was added and enriched with local data from other sources.
Such aggregation of data in SRDH may lead to religion and caste-based profiling and the citizens' right to privacy would be infringed, Mr Divan said.
Referring to the nine-judge bench verdict on the right to privacy, he said the aggregation of data would result in destruction of privacy rights and there was a grave danger that the State will amass the pervasive power.
The advancing of arguments remained inconclusive and would continue tomorrow.
Earlier, the Supreme Court had said there was a need to strike a balance between individual's privacy rights and the State's responsibilities at a time when the nation faced threats of terrorism and money laundering and to keep a tab on welfare expenditure.
The Supreme Court had on December 15 last year extended till March 31 the deadline for mandatory linking of Aadhaar with various services and welfare schemes of all ministries and departments of the Centre, states and union territories.

I met my current boyfriend while I was at University when one of my friends invited a group of friends to his birthday party at a dive bar. I later learned that my friend and his girlfriend had cooked up the idea to set me up with one of his friends, but not the friend who instantly caught my eye.
Throwing their plans out the window, I made a beeline for the 'wrong friend'. He was shy, and that's my type.
I did a brave thing and bought him a drink. The glamorously called Jestical (pronounced like Testical), which is a potent mix of orange juice and whatever the bartender could pour into a plastic cup. It was the perfect icebreaker. To this day I've only ever seen him dance once and I hold Jesticals entirely responsible for that!
A week later, I planned to travel to London to have our first date. I was so nervous that I spent most of the day before our date rolling on my housemates' floor questioning my sanity because long distance relationships don't work. I'm not a very romantic person thanks to mild autism. I don't want 99.9% of people in my personal space let alone to physically touch me, so going on a date with someone was kind of a big thing for me.
Yet, when I met him at Waterloo station those worries disappeared. I didn't even question it because it felt right. It was the perfect date. I was supposed to catch an earlier train home but didn't want to leave yet, so he invited me for dinner…at his parents' house. Yeah, I was that sure about this boy that I met his parents on our first date.
It went well. His family was really welcoming to me. It can be a bit nerve-wracking meeting the parents. We got most of the big things out the way on our first date from discussing if we want kids to meeting the parents. In a normal relationship, this would probably be mortifying, but it didn't faze us at all.
We remained in a long-distance relationship while I finished my final year of University. This worked for us because I could not have handled juggling studying and a full-time relationship, though spending most weekends traveling did become exhausting. When I finished at University I moved to London to be with my boyfriend but made the choice not to move in together straight away because I wanted to find my feet on my own first.
Not long after I moved to London my life changed forever, my dad was diagnosed with cancer. I went from being in a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend to being in a long-distance relationship with my family. My boyfriend and I would make the 300+ mile drive to visit my dad every chance we got. He was there to deal with the emotional upheaval of going through one of the most horrible things a family can deal with. Over the course of that terrible year, it really felt like he became part of our family. I'm lucky enough that my best friend is also my partner so we handled things together as a team.
After a few tough years life is finally heading in the right direction again, we've now moved in together with two of our friends, including the guy responsible for introducing us. Our first home may be barely a step above a student dig, but it's home for now. The next step for us will be finding a place of our own which is terrifying and exciting.
Ultimately you never know when you're going to meet the right person, I'm glad I was brave and bought a guy a drink, it turned out to be one of the best things I've ever done!

Once upon a time Nurse Ratched showed up on Disney's Once Upon a Time
Can you get the full Once Upon a Time experience just by watching her scenes?
By Petrana Radulovic Sep 21, 2020, 3:52pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Once upon a time Nurse Ratched showed up on Disney's Once Upon a Time
Nurse Ratched, the nurse at the heart of the Academy-Award winning One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, is one of cinema's most notorious villains. Ryan Murphy found the character compelling enough to create Ratched, which casts Sarah Paulson in Louise Fletcher's original role. But oddly enough, the new Netflix series is not the nurse's first television appearance.
That would be Once Upon a Time.
Yes, the ABC show about fairytale Disney characters coming to life in the real world also features Nurse Ratched in a minor, recurring role as played by Ingrid Torrance.
Once Upon a Time, which ran for seven seasons on ABC, is very loosely about fairy tale characters floating around a small town in Maine without their memories. The show flip-flops between the real world and the fantasy one, as the characters try to break their curse.
Ratched appearing in Once Upon a Time isn't actually as weird as it might sound. Throughout its seven season run, the series creators pulled not just from Disney movies and fairytales, but also from literature such as the Wizard of Oz, Greek mythology, and Arthurian legend. Ken Kesey's book is definitely not as fantastical as the other examples, but it is a book so, sure, Nurse Ratched appears in Once Upon a Time with the likes of Elsa, Mulan, Sleeping Beauty, Captain Hook, the Mad Hatter, and others. Nurse Ratched is only named a couple of times, but we know she's not just a random nurse, because scripts for the series refer to her as Nurse Ratched.
I never kept up with Once Upon a Time, but if you spend a lot of time in the Disney fandom space, you pick up enough random tidbits about the series to feel like you kept up with Once Upon a Time. So I wondered to myself: can I get the full Once Upon a Time experience by just watching the Nurse Ratched scenes?
Here's how my self-imposed experiment played out:
[Ed. note: This article contains very vague and vastly out-of-context spoilers for six seasons of Once Upon a Time]
Nurse Ratched makes her debut in the final moments of the 12th episode of the first season, which means I started watching Once Upon a Time in earnest in the final moments of the 12th episode of the first season. The Evil Queen lady (Lana Parrilla) saunters up to the psychiatric wing of the Storybrooke General Hospital and hands Nurse Ratched a rose. Nurse Ratched, whose name isn't mentioned yet but, and I want to stress this, is Nurse Ratched, says something about how no one ever visits a particular patient. And that particular patient is … Belle (Emilie de Ravin), the star of many Once Upon a Time GIFsets. Why is she here? I do not know, nor do I find out, because I am only watching Ratched's scenes, so it's time for the next one.
Nurse Ratched returns to OUAT in the season 1 finale. We're back at the psychiatric wing again, which is underground and creepy. She's at the desk, just doing her job, when Sebastian Stan, who plays Jefferson, the Mad Hatter character in eyeliner, comes in and gives her some tea. One sip knocks her out. Jefferson then breaks into the hospital to free Belle.
Nurse Ratched returns in season 2. Belle is back in the psychiatric wing, though it now looks like a real hospital instead of a dungeon. What happened between seasons? I'm not sure, because I'm only watching Nurse Ratched's scenes. She meets with this hot lady in a fur coat (Meghan Ory) and after she throws a fit, Nurse Ratched comes over to sedate her. Ratched tells the lady in the fur coat that Belle has "been like this the whole time" and that they've had to keep her heavily sedated. Ratched escorts Belle out of the room.
Later in season 2, Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) is looking for Belle, but finds an empty hospital bed. Let me emphasize once again just how much of a makeover this hospital has gotten in this mean time: in season 1, Belle was kept in a cellar with only one tiny window, but now she gets a bed. Anyway, Rumple is like "Where is this patient?" and Nurse Ratched is like "Well, she should still be here" and he's like "THEN WHERE IS SHE?!" and then Ratched runs off to look for Belle. She seems intimidated by him, which is not the cutthroat ruthless Ratched we know and love.
Ratched does not appear at all in season 3. Whatever happens during season 3 of Once Upon a Time stays in season 3 of Once Upon a Time.
When we get to season 4, Ratched is once again behind the desk of the psychiatric wing. She does not say anything. Also, the hospital is creepy again. Evil Queen and some other evil-looking lady (Rebecca Mader) walk past Nurse Ratched, but where they go, I do not know, because I am basically watching Once Upon a Ratched.
Season 5 is the most hoppin' season for Nurse Ratched, as she appears in four different episodes. The season kicks off with a Kid played by Jared S. Gilmore actually calling Nurse Ratched by her name! Confirmation! He's trying to find his mom, so he walks into the creepy version of the psychiatric wing and spills his drink on her so that Captain Hook (Colin O'Donoghue), who in the show is a very attractive dark-haired man in eyeliner, can sneak in. I don't know who he goes to see, but poor Nurse Ratched's uniform is ruined.
But she bounces quickly back from that loss, appearing in that season's sixth episode to deliver lunch to one of the patients — the evil-looking lady from season 4, who is apparently still in this place. The patient is apparently pregnant and really craving onion rings, but Nurse Ratched delivers a plate of frankly bland looking vegetables, saying that the mayor has instructed her to only feed this prisoner organic, locally grown vegetables, because she's apparently pregnant. This pisses off the patient, who sends Ratched off. Where is the domineering Nurse Ratched we know and love? Why is she such a pushover?
Ratched uses her nurse skills in the eighth episode, when the pregnant lady starts to give birth. By that, I mean, she frantically goes to the door then summons the woman's sister and a man who I think is her baby daddy (Sean Maguire). Apparently, everyone's a little freaked out because she was only two months pregnant but now is going into labor! It's because of dark magic, she says, but … whose dark magic? Well, we won't find out, because it's onto the next Ratched scene, where she holds the lady's hand as she gives birth!
In season 5, episode 10, the hospital is back to looking like an actual normal hospital instead of a horror movie — though that could be because we're in the maternity wing and for some reason Ratched has a shift covering this desk too. Hospital shifts, am I right? The formerly pregnant lady marches in and Ratched is like "You can't be here!" and then the evil lady waves her hand and Ratched passes out. Evil lady seems like she's on a mission, but I am not sure what she's looking for. Probably a baby?
Nurse Ratched's final appearances are in season 6, the show's penultimate season. In the third episode, the Evil Queen (who is no longer evil?) heads down to the psychiatric wing and takes a casserole dish from Ratched. This is another moment where they mention Nurse Ratched by name: Evil Queen comments that compared to the cup of noodles Nurse Ratched serves, her lasagna is fit for a king, which will hopefully get the patient to talk to them. Technically this spills a bit over from when Nurse Ratched was on screen, but I'm letting it slide because she was directly mentioned.
In episode 16, Ratched once again commandeers the desk in front of the creepy psychiatric wing. Evil Queen and Henry go down to see a patient and Ratched comments that this particular patient has never had any visitors. Spooky! Evil Queen and Henry think this patient will help them. Ratched unlocks the door, revealing a dude named Isaac (Patrick Fischler) who is typing at a typewriter.
In Ratched's final appearance, we see main character Emma Swann painting a swan. Ratched comes in — which means this is taking place in the psychiatric wing, probably, which now features some nice windows — and tells Emma that her son is here to visit. Ratched leads her out to the waiting room, which has definitely been spruced up since last time we saw the hospital. Henry and Emma talk a bit about how none of their friends and family are real, because Emma thinks all of the fairy tale stuff is a delusion.
This is the most plot we've gotten from watching the Ratched scenes, because Ratched is hovering in the corner and going to make a reappearance. There is something about a Black Fairy wiping Emma's memories, but Emma insists that she's just unwell. They recount the events that I presume happened in earlier seasons (he ate a poisoned apple turnover at one point, but Emma saved him with True Love's Kiss). Ratched comes back to give Emma her medicine. She looks pretty domineering, but also doesn't really interfere with Henry showing Emma some cryptic notes. Ratched walks away right as some new evil-looking lady (Jaime Murray) hovers over Henry, so now we're stopping.
Once Upon a Time does have a seventh season, but it's a soft reboot set in Seattle and focuses on adult Henry. So Ratched's time in Once Upon a Time ends when the show's time in the town of Storybrooke ends. If there is any knowledge that this experience has given me about this show, is that it takes place in a hospital more than I thought it would. I've also learned that there are more evil women than I originally thought. But other than that, I don't know if I learned anything from this experience that I did not learn by osmosis online. If anything, it's only brought up more questions.
I will say, however, that watching it for approximately ten seconds across six seasons has sparked an interest in me. Who are these mysterious patients that keep showing up? Why does the psychiatric wing look like a dungeon sometimes and a normal hospital other times? Are there more hot men in eyeliner? Is this the intrigue of Once Upon a Time working its magic on me, a susceptible Disney fan?
All seven seasons of Once Upon a Time are streaming on Disney Plus. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Ratched are streaming on Netflix.

Q: Accessing form controls from a different class I am creating a windows form application using c#. My form has labels, list-boxes and buttons, all of which need to be edited. They are edited from a different class, and further will need the values in the labels to perform other logic.
My problem is accessing these controls from other classes. I tried making an instance of the form and using it like this:
Form frm = new Form();
  myVar = frm.lblMylabel.Text;
However, using a breakpoint, I followed the code, and it loops between the above instance being created, and the start of the Form code, which calls the class again where the instance was created.
I have tried to find the answer online, however they don't seem applicable to what I am trying to do, and whilst I am unsure how to do it, they appear to be overly complex.
So, my question it: is there a relatively simple way to be able to access values and edit values from controls in a form from another class?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT - Breakpoint starts at Point 3, '=new Form();'.
Loops to Point 1.
Point 2 calls GamePlay().
Reaches Point 3 and loop restarts.
public partial class frmGame : Form     //Point 1
{
    public frmGame()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        Game.GamePlay();    //Point 2

    }

class Game{

    public static void GamePlay()
    {
        frmGame form = new frmGame();  //Point 3

        form.lstPrevious1.Items.Add("Item Number");

    }
}

A: Your problem has nothing to do with accessing properties of a different class, you are just producing a recursive loop:
At Point 3, within the method GamePlay you create a new instance of frmGame. When creating an instance (an object), its constructor is called. In this case, your constructor is the method public frmGame().
Within this constructor, you now call GamePlay (Point 2), which, as we saw from before, again creates a new instance of frmGame (Point 3 again), also again calling its constructor (Point 1).
At this point, you have already two forms created (although not shown yet).
Very soon you will receive a stack overflow.
One possible solution: Move the line creating your instance into a different method that is guaranteed to be called only once at program start:
public partial class frmGame : Form     //Point 1
{
    public frmGame()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        Game.GamePlay();    //Point 2

    }
}

class Game{

    public static void GameStart(){
        frmGame form = new frmGame();  //Point 3
    }

    public static void GamePlay()
    {
        form.lstPrevious1.Items.Add("Item Number");
    }
}

An interesting actor to say the least.
I remember him well as Mr Perrin in 'Mr Perrin and Mr Traill' and also in 'A Matter of Life and Death' which when his character was down on earth was photographed in that dazzling Technicolor of the time.
See Below – Marius Goring and David Niven.
Because of his suave, continental looks, Goring was often assumed to be foreign, but was born in Newport, Isle of Wight, in 1912. His father was a doctor and criminologist who died the 1918 flu epidemic, when Marius was six; his mother, the former Katie MacDonald, was a pianist who had studied with Clara Schumann. Educated at Cambridge and at the universities of Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna and Paris, Goring determined on a stage career while in his early teens – he first appeared on stage in a Cambridge production at 13 – and studied under Harcourt Williams and at the Old Vic dramatic school from 1929 to 1932.
He made his professional debut in 1927, and toured the continent playing classical roles – he was fluent in both French and German. In 1932 he joined the Old Vic, stage-managing two seasons and playing both Romeo and Macbeth among other roles in 1932-34. He made his film debut in Thornton Freeland's The Amateur Gentleman (1935), the screenplay of which was co- written by Clemence Dane, and the following year Goring had a great personal success in the West End production of Dane's play The Happy Hypocrite with a performance Michael Powell was later to describe as "stunning".
While at Cambridge Goring acted in plays, as he did while studying at two German universities and at the Sorbonne. He returned to England as an apprentice at the Old Vic. When the actor scheduled to play "Macbeth" broke his ankle and the understudy, who was Alastair Sim, lost his voice, Marius acted the leading role for three performances at age twenty.
He was seen in Rembrandt (1936), The Spy in Black (1939), and Pastor Hall (1940) with Nova Pilbeam before making his reputation with English movie audiences in The Case of the Frightened Lady (1940), which had been a hit for him on stage.
His proficiency in "high German" was put to good use as a member of British Intelligence playing Adolf Hitler on a popular radio series heard throughout the British Isles.
Even after the international acclaim he received for his work in the picture The Red Shoes (1948), he continued to consider himself essentially as a stage actor. The exceptionally versatile actor has since then appeared in Take My Life (1947) with Greta Gynt, Mr. Perrin and Mr. Traill (1948) with David Farrar, Pandora and the Flying Dutchman (1951), The Magic Box (1951), The Barefoot Contessa (1954), Son of Robin Hood (1958) with Jack Lambert, The Treasure of San Teresa (1959) with Dawn Addams, Exodus (1960), First Love (1970), Holocaust (1977), and La Petite Fille en Velours Bleu (1978).
In 1941 he married Lucie Mannheim, the German-born actress who was seen in The Thirty-Nine Steps (1935), So Little Time (1953), and Bunny Lake Is Missing (1965). Marius considers their appearances on stage together, playing in both English and German, to be the high points of his career. She died in 1976.
Goring met his present wife, producer Prudence FitzGerald, when she chose him from his photo in a casting directory for a part on a television show. They share a seventeenth-century house in London's Hampton Court that looks out onto a royal park.
He is seen frequently on British television and works almost constantly on the stage in England. The Winslow Boy, starring Marius Goring, was very well received throughout the tour of the United Kingdom in 1984. But his recent work is almost unknown in the United States, where he never became the name that he is in the United Kingdom. He played Germans so frequently and convincingly, many American moviegoers were confused as to his nationality. Since he has made only a few Broadway appearances and has never made a picture in Hollywood, he has not had the personal publicity a foreign character actor of his standing would receive in the American press.
June Thorburn (8 June 1931 – 4 November 1967) was a beautiful and popular English actress whose career was cut short by her death in an air crash. Early life Born 8 June 1931 Karachi, which in those days was British India. She was the eldest of three children.
She spent most of her schooldays in boarding schools in India, since her father was a colonel in the Indian Army and therefore her parents travelled a lot. When he retired from the military, they moved back to Britain. June began writing plays from about the age of seven. Her grandfather (Sydney Thubron) who had also spent many years in India as a design engineer, building many important bridges, made early 'movies' and she was the star in several, the first being "Her Second Birthday", when she was only two years old.
When she was 20 she left home and moved to London and there she met and married her first husband, Aldon Richard Bryse-Harvey.
This turned out to be a short and stressful marriage – however she had a daughter in 1953, named Heather-Louise June. The marriage ended in divorce and June moved back to Hampshire, close to her family.
She remained there for a few years and then her career started to take off so in 1957 she moved back to London. There she met Morten Smith-Petersen, who eventually became her second husband. She was married to him until her death in 1967. Together with Morten, she had a second daughter named Inger-Sheleen Christabel.
June had two children, Heather, now living in Tigard, just outside Portland Oregon. Sheleen, now living in Chiswick in London, and a Step-son, Simon (Me) Now living in Australia. We are all married. Heather and Jerry ,in Oregon have no children, Sheleen and Chris have a little Girl called Scarlet, And Susie and I have two boys,Ben and Dan and a daughter called Storm. Heather was the product of June's first marriage, and Sheleen,of her second Marriage to my father Morten.
I was on duty with BEA (British European Airways) at the West London Air Terminal on the November night of the Iberia crash. BEA was the handling agent for Iberia in those days and the only flight to use Gatwick was the Malaga service, with the rest using Heathrow.
We, at the terminal, in Cromwell Road, usually received the passengers from this service around about 2 a.m. after they had travelled up from Gatwick to Victoria by train and then by special bus to the Terminal. Of course, it was, that evening, not to be.
I hope it it not too intrusive to say that I spare a thought and a prayer for all on board as each successive November comes along.
Fury at Smugglers Bay I remember well and in recent years the Richard Todd produced film 'Don't Bother to Knock' which was not that successful, and of course Tom Thumb, but I also remember the very young and very beautiful June Thorburn in the 1951 version of Scrooge with Alastair Sim.
Tom Thumb was released in 1958 and was quite successful at the Box Office.
She is an actress well remembered by film fans such as myself even though she did not appear in that many films – but somehow they are films that I know well – maybe because she was in them.
This would be done in the days that the big BBC Play / Drama would go out Live.
I remember this film from being a child – not so much because I saw the film which I didn't until years later, but more because of the publicity that surrounded it at the time – and seeing what I think was a comic strip of the launching of the space ship at the end of the film – heading to the New World.
Below : Working on the large scale models.
She played the second lead role in 1953's Dangerous Mission with Victor Mature, Vincent Price and Piper Laurie.
Whether singing Marlene Dietrich's song "Little Joe" in Destry Rides Again or swimming with Tarzan, actress Betta St. John savored life in the Hollywood jungle.
A long-time resident of Banning, Betta St. John was born Betty Striegler in Hawthorne, California, on Nov. 26, 1929. She started in movies as a background player in the late 1930s and early 1940s using her real name.
"Those were the days of Shirley Temple. Many mothers sent their daughters to dancing school. At age 7, I started with theatrical schools on Saturday – dancing, singing, and all the bits you do at an early age. If the studios needed children, they contacted the theatrical schools.
"I was seven or eight when I got my first background part receiving my social security number at age 8!
"The nearest I came to playing a substantial part as a child was in the classic western Destry Rides Again in 1939 with Marlene Dietrich [as Frenchy, a dancehall girl of the Wild West].
That same year St. John was offered a role in the movie The Wizard of Oz but her parents turned it down.
In 1944, St. John appeared in an Our Gang short and in Jane Eyre in an unbilled role.
Rodgers and Hammerstein took notice of this young, attractive singing and dancing talent and cast her in a role in Carousel in 1945. She played Louise, the daughter of the principal players. When the musical team was ready to cast the role of Liat for their new musical South Pacific starring Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza in 1949, they had to look no further than the beautiful, exotic-looking Betta.
"A couple of years after Destry, things really happened fast. I was contacted by the New York Theater Guild, which already had done stage productions of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! and Carousel and were working on South Pacific.
The Theater Guild workers came out to the West Coast because they were putting together various companies and needed more actors and actresses. Whatever I did obviously impressed them enough, because they came straight back and asked if I would go to New York, where they would put me into either Oklahoma! or Carousel, whichever one opened first.
In 1999, St. John, along with the remaining original cast, attended the 50th anniversary of South Pacific in New York. Her husband passed away in 1992 and was unable to attend with her.
St. John's big splash on the musical stage soon led her back to films.
"In 1953 at the age of 22, I played my first grown-up movie part, a royal Middle Eastern girl, in Dream Wife opposite Gary Grant. When this part came along, my name was still fresh from playing Liat in South Pacific, and the part in that film was very Liat-like. So MGM called me and I was tested in London and brought back to Hollywood.
"Immediately following that, I did a film called All the Brothers Were Valiant, also for MGM, which filmed in Jamaica. That was a lot of fun. In that movie, Stewart Granger, Ann Blyth and Robert Taylor played the leading roles.
"Actually I kind of enjoyed it. It was a faster shooting schedule, and you didn't get all the pampering and spoiling you did on bigger pictures. It must be what people experience nowadays when making an independent film – much more of a feeling that you're involved. You understand what the whole thing is about, and you aren't just a puppet who dances on a string.
"Physically, yes, but he wasn't much of an actor. It was an unbelievable character anyway Š don't you think? He was convincing in the action shots, but I haven't seen many Tarzans to compare. I enjoyed seeing Greystroke, which was based on a book. But that movie wasn't anything like the old Tarzan movies.
"I thought my career was long enough (1953 to the early '60s) and I didn't feel I was giving up very much at that point. But I gave it up mainly because I wanted to stay home and raise the children and my family was much more important to me.
"Very few actors, even if they're extremely successful, can keep a family and marriage together, with a good career going, too. By that time I had come to terms that I didn't have the kind of acting ability that would keep on going forever.
Betta St. John appeared in 38 films and a number of television productions. She has homes in Banning and England. In the summer she travels back to the U.K., where she enjoys activities like hiking the cliffs of Dorset.
Marilyn Monroe in England for the filming of The Prince and The Showgirl 1956 is seen here at the Comedy Theatre in London and is waiting to see a performance of a View From The Bridge – a play written by her husband Arthur Miller.
Much of the filming for Angels One Five was done at Kenley in Kent. This even involved converting one smallish building on the Airfield into a makeshift film studio.
Below: Jack Hawkins acting out a scene in the film – I love the caption too.
Above: Humphrey Lestocq in a scene .
I just love this publicity shot from the 1960 film The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It also starred former Heavyweight Boxing Champion Archie Moore – in his first real film role although he went on the make a few more including Breakheart Pass with Charles Bronson in 1975.
Above – An unusual picture. It shows Archie Moore being visited on the set of this film by Former Heavyweight Boxing Champion Ingmar Johanneson towards the end of 1959 and here they are lifting co-star Eddie Hodges off the ground. Charming picture.
Just purchased and watched The Snorkel – actually bought it with Spanish sub titles – but it was an English version. Very good too with Peter Van Eyck as the sinister murderer and Mandy Miller as his stepdaughter who suspects he has murdered her Mother who he had married and before that her Father a few years before.
Also in the cast was Betta St.John playing Candy's governess – More about her in a later post.
On holiday from a British boarding school, Candy Brown (Mandy Miller) visits her mother and stepfather at their villa in a Italian coastal town. To her shock, Candy learns that her mother has committed suicide by sealing herself in a room and turning on the gas. Candy immediately suspects foul play, but the police inspector insists that's impossible: the servants found Candy's mother in a locked room completely sealed from the inside. The young woman remains unconvinced. She believes the murderer is her stepfather Paul (Peter Van Eyck). As a girl, Candy claimed that she saw Paul drown her father. No one believed Candy then and no one believes her now, not even her companion, Jean (Betta St. John). It appears that Paul has a perfect alibi. And besides, as the inspector pointed out, how could murder be committed inside a locked room?
Mandy Miller was very believable as Candy. Peter van Eyck was sometimes downright creepy.
Paul Decker murders his wife in her Italian villa by drugging her milk and asphyxiating her by gas. He cleverly locks the bedroom from the inside and hides inside a trapdoor in the floor until after the body is discovered by servants. He uses a scuba snorkel connected to tubes on the outside to breathe during the ordeal. Decker's stepdaughter Candy suspects him immediately, especially since no suicide note was found. She also is convinced that he murdered her father years before, but her accusations fall on deaf ears. The ruthless Decker even poisons the family spaniel when the pet takes too great an interest in the mask and realizes he will ultimately have to get rid of Candy too.
William Franklyn pictured above also featured in the film. He had a long career in both films and television where he was a familiar face – one thing he is remembered for is the Schweppes advertisements which he was in for a long time.
There is a very exciting swimming sequence in the film – which looked like ending in disaster for Candy but for the intervention of Betta St John who swims out to the two of them and effectively saves Mandy Miller.

In a surprise announcement today the Center For Medicare and Medicaid Services gave notice they are reversing planned cuts to Medicare Advantage Plans for 2015. But after all variables are factored in will the end result be an increase or decrease in reimbursements for Medicare approved procedures next year?
If implemented the cuts would have resulted in 2% lower payments to Medicare providers on top of the 6% cuts for 2014. Instead, the agency says, payments will instead be increased 0.4%. Still, with all variables in play, Aetna anticipates payment reductions and Humana estimates a funding decline of 3%. (See feature article from Reuters below.)
What is the end result of all this? 2014 reductions already saw the termination of thousands of providers from HMO and PPO Medicare Advantage networks. Further reductions are likely to result in more of the same along with probable increases in premiums and copays for medical procedures. And–if not now–certainly when they are ultimately implemented as mandated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Which begs the question: If all these cuts to Medicare Advantage were for the purpose of financing the ACA, what is the long-term impact of delaying them on the financial solvency of the Act? Or was the latter really ever a concern of the administration? Or is it simply the case that concern over the effect of cuts on this fall's election over-rides the need for the Act to be financially feasible? (In case you were naïve enough to believe feasibility was realistic in the first place.) In light of all the approximately 38 delays and changes in the law since its passage, it is apparent to this author that political expediency rules the day in Washington. In other words, "business as usual".

U.S. insurers still expect cuts in 2015 Medicare payments
By Caroline Humer
Tue Apr 8, 2014 1:40pm EDT
(Reuters) – U.S. health insurers said on Tuesday they still expected cuts in government reimbursements for privately managed Medicare health plans for the elderly next year even after the Obama administration rolled back the steepest reductions.
The government agency that oversees Medicare said late on Monday that on average, reimbursements to insurers for private Medicare plans would rise 0.4 percent, reversing what it said was a proposed cut of 1.9 percent.
The insurance industry and advocates for the elderly had lobbied against the cuts, which were first proposed in February, saying they would reduce benefits for older people.
Republican and Democratic lawmakers had broadly opposed further cuts as well, adding pressure on the administration at a time when President Barack Obama's healthcare law was also under attack.
After analyzing the final rate notice from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and comparing it with their own models, health insurers said on Tuesday that the 2015 Medicare Advantage payment rates represented a cut to payments from 2014 levels.
Humana Inc, which derives two-thirds of its revenue from administering Medicare Advantage plans, said it expected a funding decline of about 3 percent for 2015 plans from 2014, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This is slightly better than Humana's initial forecast for a drop of 3.5 percent to 4 percent in those rates, based on the proposal issued on February 21.
Aetna Inc, which also provides Medicare Advantage plans, said it also anticipated a decline.
"Despite CMS's actions, Medicare Advantage plans will still face rate decreases for 2015," Aetna spokeswoman Kendall Marcocci said in a statement. The company is still evaluating the impact, she added.
CMS officials were not immediately available for comment on the insurers' or analysts' analyses.
Humana shares fell 1.7 percent on Tuesday. Aetna was little changed, and UnitedHealth Group Inc slipped 0.4 percent.
APPLES-TO-ORANGES
The comments from individual insurers echoed that of industry trade group America's Health Insurance Plans, which said it was concerned about how the policy will affect the 15 million people who receive privately managed benefits. The balance of the more than 50 million older and disabled people who use Medicare are in a different program run by the government.
"The changes CMS included in the final rate notice will help mitigate the impact on seniors, but the Medicare Advantage program is still facing a reduction in payment rates next year on top of the 6 percent cut to payments in 2014," AHIP President Karen Ignagni said in a statement.
Wall Street analysts saw an improvement of 2 to 3 percentage points in the government's funding proposal, but they estimated about a 3 percent cut overall, not an increase of 0.4 percent.
They described an apples-and-oranges comparison between how they calculate the total impact of Medicare reimbursement rates versus how the government does so.
One difference may be that the government analysis did not reflect the 1 percent insurance tax that funds Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, while some analysts included it.
Another factor, some said, is that CMS adjusted its estimates to reflect the worsening health of some Medicare members, while analysts did not.
Analyst Sheryl Skolnick of CRT Capital described the final funding announcement as being "less worse" than anticipated.
"The market was assuming that the final rate would be better than the proposal, and that's what it got," Skolnick wrote in a note.
Each year, the government releases its formulas for determining how it will reimburse the insurers for plan members' procedures and doctor visits. Insurers use this information to decide on the markets where they will offer plans and what benefits they can provide.

ALC Dismisses GeoSweep
[image credit : GeoSweep]
After adding the GeoSweep online lottery game to its ALC.com domain in June of last year, Canada's Atlantic Lottery Corporation (ALC) has now pulled the location-based title due to disappointing sales.
The ALC manages and operates lottery games in the provinces of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador while GeoSweep is a lottery game that utilises places instead of numbers.
Utilising Google maps, GeoSweep sees players select real-world places to own on a game board that has been sliced into millions of tiles called 'Geos' that are then used as location-based tickets. Players can buy their house, where they were married, their favourite sports stadium or the park bench where they had their first kiss while the system also delivers a social gameplay component via its GeoGroups and Treasure Hunts features.
"We've made the decision to remove the GeoSweep game from the market today," said Patrick Daigle, Chief Financial Officer for the ALC.
"The game hasn't lived up to its potential in this market."
According to a report from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the provincial lottery operator has invested some CAD$8.7 million ($8.2 million) in buying a stake in London-based Geonomics, which is the developer behind GeoSweep. December saw online gambling operator Tipp24 SE shell out £10 million ($14.9 million) in order to purchase a major stake in the British firm, which was formerly known as Roboreus Limited.
In over a year of operation, the ALC declared that GeoSweep never paid out its daily CAD$250,000 ($236,091) grand prize although an updated version of the game is expected to premiere later in the summer.
"We do believe that the latest version of the game is going to hold player appeal," said Daigle.
"We haven't made an investment in a game but rather we've made an investment in a gaming company."

NASA has found two exoplanets with their new planet hunter
By Silvia De Abreu / Wednesday, 26 Sep 2018 04:11PM
NASA's space telescope The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), discovered two exoplanets in two days. The first one was found on the eve of Wednesday, September 19. And the latest one on the following day. These two planets are similar to the Earth. They're much closer to our planet than Kepler-452b. This exoplanet was discovered in 2015, by the Kepler Mission. And is 1,400 light-years away.
The planet hunter
TESS was launched to Earth orbit on April 18 atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, and began its two-year mission. It uses four wide-field, 16.8MP cameras designed and built by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory to capture detailed images of stars and other objects in space.
It covers an extension 350 times greater than NASA's earlier Kepler mission. The planet-hunting team searches for drops or dips in a star's brightness in successive images. Dips may indicate that something is passing in front of the star, hopefully, an exoplanet. TESS observes the sky for 27 days before moving to the next location.
The discovery of the new planets was announced on NASA's Twitter account (NASA_TESS):
"The @NASA_TESS team is excited to announce the mission's first candidate planet — a super-Earth around the bright star Pi Mensae, nearly 60 light-years away. The planet orbits every 6.3 days. The discovery is now being reviewed by other scientists to validate it. Stay tuned!" – NASA wrote on its Twitter account.

The exoplanets
An exoplanet is a planet with almost the same density as the Earth. It orbits around stars different from our Sun's solar system. Density doesn't determinate that these planets have the conditions for humans to live in them. Finding these exoplanets was the first step to make a complete study on them, to know if they are habitable.
The first exoplanet, discovered on September 19, is called Pi Mensae c. Its size is about 2.14 times Earth's radius and 4.82 times Earth's density. The preliminary studies have indicated that it has an iron core and also contains water, methane, hydrogen, and helium. Pi Mensae c is at a 60 light years distance from the Earth.
The second exoplanet was discovered on September 20, at the distance of 49 light years. Astronomers called it the Hot Ground. It's much farther away than our planet and orbits a dwarf star class M LHS 3844. There's still no much information about this second discovery.

Both exoplanets seem to be too hot for humans to live in them, but NASA has yet to prove that this information is valid. They still think that they may be habitable, and haven't said the contrary. Either way, TESS, and the planet-hunting team keep they search for more planets that may work to relocate the human race. Stay tuned for more advances on this discoveries!

The biggest trophy: Out-of-state hunters and anglers
A new U.S. Fish and Wildlife survey shows that district states have a unique profile when it comes to wildlife recreation, particularly when it comes to economic activity resulting from the great outdoors.
The survey, conducted every five years, measures participation in and expenditures for hunting, fishing and wildlife watching (observing, photographing and feeding wildlife; includes those who do it from home or nearby). Almost across the board, Ninth District states have higher than average rates than the nation as a whole—maybe not surprising given the natural assets and wide-open spaces in each state (see Chart 1).
Those activities bring with them considerable revenue, and the more who come for the outdoors, the higher the returns. Spending per participant in most district states is very consistent with the national average of about $1,500. But South Dakota and (especially) Montana are exceptions, seeing significantly higher spending by participants (see Chart 2, right bars). With high participation and high average spending by those participants, those states see almost quadruple the in-state spending on a per capita basis (see Chart 2, left bars).
The large majority of those revenues are generated by hunters and anglers, despite the fact that there are considerably more wildlife watchers in most states (Minnesota and South Dakota are exceptions). Across district states, the average hunter/angler spends two to five times more than the average wildlife watcher (see Chart 3, at bottom).
But more fundamentally, high participation rates and expenditures are driven by nonresidents, who tend to spend more money than residents on travel, accommodations, food, equipment and other needs. For example, Montana has high rates of nonresident hunters (31 percent) and anglers (30 percent) who come to find big game and to fish world-famous trout streams in the Rocky Mountains. Montana also sees much higher spending from nature watchers—double the average of most other district states—again, often attracted from other states to the natural splendor of the Rockies.
South Dakota has exceptionally high rates of nonresident hunters (53 percent) and anglers (42 percent) as well, many of whom come to hunt pheasants throughout the state and to fish walleyes and other species in the cavernous Missouri River reservoir system, among the largest freshwater bodies in the world. Though the state has the highest rates of nonresident participation in the district, the relative accessibility of good hunting and fishing spots in South Dakota likely helps keep a lid on nonresident spending, at least compared with a trip to Montana's Rockies.
The survey is done to benefit natural resource and conservation agencies, academic researchers and wildlife related recreation industries, which use the information to estimate demand and identify recreation trends. The methodology used for this survey changed from previous versions, according to the agency, making current results incomparable with previous surveys.

I found this old Empire dresser for only $15. It stunk and had a missing drawer.
I thought I could save it from the dump.
I brought it home to Hubby saying that it should go in the burn pile! I had a feeling that he might be right on that statement!
I washed it to get the grit and grime off and it still smelled of rat poo! I aired it out in the sun for days. And I found it was full of worm holes. Yes, it was bad...almost too bad to save. But I had sent a picture of it to my Son and DIL and said that if they liked it, I was willing to do the work. They liked it and I was then on the hook for fixing it up.
I had to rebuild the sides where most of the worm holes were. Hubby helped me rebuild each drawer with new bottoms and the back of the dresser was missing some wood that we replaced.
I then had to use shellac to seal the inside and outside from the lingering smell. But before that, I sanded, and sanded and SANDED! This is about the time that I knew I really loved my Son and DIL!
In the meantime, I asked them to search online to find a painted dresser that they liked. Of course, my Son wanted it stripped and stained, but that was not going to happen with all the various woods. This is what they found and I found the source to be, Shades of Blue Interiors...(Rachel is amazing at what she creates).
I loved it and couldn't believe the similar lines between the two pieces. My DIL even said that she loved that hardware. Okay, I can do this.
They had also decided that they wanted a drawer where the missing one was, instead of my suggestion of a shelf with baskets. They are having their local shop teacher make a drawer!
I proceeded by painting everything black. Then made my own version of Chalk Paint and painted it white. I needed the black so that when I distressed it, it would have the same type of undertone the inspiration dresser has. I admit, I didn't distress it a much as the inspiration dresser but that maybe because I was totally worn out by this time...ya think?
Here she is in all her unfinished (missing drawer) Glory...so use your Imagination!
I love how it turned out and even had the same items as in the inspiration picture to be able to surprise them with this shot. They live in Kansas and I live in Illinois!
The sides painted out well with the new wood.
I matched the hardware as close as possible.
And I even decoupaged the inside bottom and back of each drawer. The upper drawers in the inspiration picture had some kind of glass looking knobs. The dresser that I redid has finger holds at the bottom of each of the upper drawers and they never had knobs or pulls, so I elected not to add any.
Great job Terry! It looks like it was a labor of love and it turned out beautiful! Those empire dressers are hard to turn away aren't they? Keep it up!
I love the dresser! You really did a lot of work and as you said it was a work of love. I don't think anyone else would have bothered to save this piece from the junk pile (or burn pit) but you did an amazing job!
Good job Terry! I'm just maAdly in love those old french empire dressers!
AMAZING job Terry...I love the way it turned out!!
Beautiful job on this - well done!
You are for sure a miracle worker, or a furniture whisperer! LOL You brought this one back from the grave!
It looks amazing, kudos to you!
Great job!! WOW! Talk about an amazing transformation. I hope you link this is up to the Outside The Box party happening right now on my blog :) My readers would love to see this inspiration!
Fabulous job, Terry! Isn't it amazing how you can take a piece of junk and turn it into a show piece? Paint is amazing. Until I started upcycling and refurbing, I would never have thought I could do such amazing transformations like this one. I think your idea of baskets was a good one. Be sure to post the final pic!
Great job! It looks so lovely!
Great job....you did save it from the fire pit! Looks great.
Wow, that dresser was a hot mess! What a great save!

Post-Scrutiny Monitoring: Review of Income Generation - Interim Report.
Meeting of Growth Scrutiny Committee, Wednesday, 18th September, 2019 10.00 am (Item 303.)
Growth Scrutiny Committee had agreed to undertake a Review of Income Generation as part of their 2017/18 work programme following consideration of a range of topics suggested at the Annual Scrutiny Conference.
Committee agreed the scope of the Review early in 2017/18 but made further refinements in January 2018 which allowed Members to re-focus on assessing how the Council had generated income to date and identified new ways of increasing income to the Council. Committee agreed to continue the review into 2018/19 to ensure a full investigation was completed.
The aims of the review were;
· to consider what has already been done to generate income
· to consider what other authorities have done to generate income
· to make recommendations on ways for the authority to generate income
A number of areas of investigation had been incorporated into the Transformation Plan 2018 and Committee acknowledged that there was now a specific route for delivery of initiatives via the Transformation Governance Group. Committee had requested officers involved to look at the initiatives identified as a priority for further exploration over the twelve month monitoring period.
Committee had agreed 11 recommendations which would hopefully assist the Council in identifying new investments and mechanisms for income generation. Executive had approved the recommendations and the report acknowledged progress to date by officers implementing them.
To date 1 out of the 11 recommendations had been achieved. 7 had commenced and were on track to complete by their target dates. 3 had not yet commenced as they were dependent on the completion of other work. Details regarding progress and actions relating to the recommendations were included in an appendix to the report.
In response to a Member's query regarding replication of the Tangent 'model' at other sites within the District, the Scrutiny & Elections Officer noted that officers were currently looking at what types of businesses were developing in the District and what businesses were demanding, for example, core areas and size of business units etc. The Member suggested that Economic Development officers be invited to a future meeting of Committee to provide Members with information on what the Council's Industrial Strategy was for the District and also reports and/or a representative from the Local Enterprise Partnership and D2N2.
In response to a Member's query regarding Pleasley Vale Mills, the Scrutiny & Elections Officer noted that a funding bid application submitted a few years ago for the refurbishment of Pleasley Vale Mills into a tourist attraction to include overnight accommodation, had been unsuccessful. However, this was being looked at in detail again as there may be more scope for it to go forward due to a Countywide project linking into cycling trails etc.
In response to a Member's query, the Scrutiny & Elections Officer would enquire with officers as to the availability of overnight accommodation across the District.
A Member referred to the proposal of a Service Pack which suggested selling services as part of the Transformation Programme and queried if there was a list of services that could be provided. The Scrutiny & Elections Officer replied that officers were currently looking at options across all departments, however, this would be dependent on capacity but suggestions had been Human Resources, Leisure and Legal Services, Grounds Maintenance and Housing Maintenance expertise etc.
Moved by Councillor Peter Roberts and seconded by Councillor Tricia Clough
RESOLVED that (1) the progress against the review recommendations be noted,
(2) the findings of the review be made public in accordance with
Part 4.5.17(3) of the Council's Constitution,
(3) officers continue to implement the recommendations and submit a final report in six months' time highlighting any exceptions to delivery.
Councillor James Watson abstained from voting.

First Uni teaching experience was amazing!!!
April 2013 saw me teaching Documentary film-making in a University in the border town of Gorizia in Notrth-Eastern Italy to some very bright and motivate students who unfortunately are stuck in a loop of theoretical classes without many opportunities to get films actually made. But we changed all this! Starting from "What is a documentary?" through, pitching skills, theatre-style exercises to develop team work and confidence into development and production they managed in just over a week to produce thought-provoking and intelligent documentaries making me a very proud teacher… Nice one guys. Good luck on your path I hope I showed you some new routes to explore ;). Special thanks to Ludovica Fales of Kitchen Sink Collective who assisted me throughout the course and made the whole thing possible with her can-do attitude and enthusiasm!
This is the poster for the Screening of the guys' films. The theme was "The Border" but we asked them to explore the concept and they certainly did!

To many, 3D printing is still seen as something of a gimmick. But to Conan Thompson, it could have saved his life.
Before Thompson was born, doctors performing a routine ultrasound scan spotted a walnut-sized lump on his face that could have prevented him from breathing after birth. To determine whether he'd need emergency surgery, they used a 3D printer to create models of his head.
"Based on the images we had, it was unclear whether the mass would block Conan's airway after birth," explained Glenn Green, one of the doctors who worked on the case. "The 3D printed model of the fetus allowed us to actually see in person what it looked like and have something in our hands to help us decide the best way to care for the baby."
The information obtained from the model helped doctors decide that the lump would not be a risk - avoiding an expensive and dangerous procedure involving a partial delivery of the baby while it remains attached by its umbilical cord. Instead, Conan was born via a scheduled caesarean section and is now nine months old.
"They told me the 3D printed models would help give them a more accurate idea of what was going on and what kind of delivery I should have," said Megan Thompson, Conan's mother.
"I was relieved that I didn't need the more complicated and risky surgery and could be awake for the birth of my first baby. I'm glad that what they did for Conan may help other babies and their families in similar situations."
A description of the technique was published the scientific journal Pediatrics.

As a champion for our kids Gino makes school safety and student achievement his top priorities.
Demanding transparency at the county will ensure fiscal responsibility so every precious tax dollar is wisely spent.
Less than 50% of high school students have completed basic Cal State University requirements.
As an elected Morgan Hill Unified School Board Trustee, I have tremendous insight into the County operations.
Parents tell me their kids are not being challenged, while other kids continue to fall further behind.
Bold Leadership that you can count on is desperately needed to address student safety on our campuses.
Trustee Gino Borgioli believes we must tackle the student achievement gaps ignored by the status quo and politicians. We have less than 50% of students graduating with A-G readiness for the CSU system which means that students who wish to go to a California State University must go to a community college and gain the necessary A-G credits. Studies show that when students enter a community college, many become disenfranchised and never complete their education. We must do better for our students.

Hey, Can you pick me up? I'm scared. I'm at the Intersection of Art and Technology: DMA UG Exhibition 2023 (Exhibition)
New Wight Gallery
As Design | Media Arts students, we have been tasked with navigating the social, economic, and environmental climate around us by creating art and design using the new media and technology that has been inhabiting more and more of our artistic environments.We've had time to contemplate and reflect on the ever-growing and complex changes that have affected us as creatives. Now we come here with our ideas, as artists and designers, counter-mapping the bridges between the plugged and unplugged world around us. This exhibition serves as a celebration: a time to try new things together, revisit our pasts, think about who we are and who we want to be. Now, after two years, we are able to come together for the first time, to hold space, to collaborate, and to view work all together, in person.
We invite you to join us, as we explore what it means to be at the forefront of such emerging forms. The theme of this year's show plays into the complex feelings of exploring the cross section of the two fields we inhabit with this major: art and technology. While everything that falls under the Design | Media Arts umbrella ranges from tactile forms to experimental investigations using motion and artificial intelligence, it will always engage in this intersection of both art and technology.
Our title, "Hey, Can You Pick Me Up? I'm Scared, I'm at the Intersection of Art and Technology" plays into all of the nuanced feelings that come with being an artist and a student within this department: playful, dissociative, experimental, etc. This January, we will come together, reunite, and celebrate what it means to be at a cross section in the art world in an exhibition presented at the New Wight Gallery and virtually.
