Why Nintendo Should Make the NX VR-Ready
Virtual reality is limited by expensive headsets and poor games, but Nintendo NX could change all that

Nintendo's approach to virtual reality could look a lot like Samsung's Gear VR.
Glixel
With the news that Nintendo's forthcoming NX console is a handheld screen with controllers for ears, we're closing in on a much more complete picture of what the Kyoto-based company's next five years may look like – a seamless gaming experience that moves freely between your TV and your pocket. Ditching the traditional console model is either another genius move that recalls the success of the 100 million-selling Wii, or the last physical product we'll see from the company before it becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Pokémon Company.
It's potentially genius because it could slay the twin dragons that have been stalking Nintendo for a while now: a decline in relevance with graphics-obsessed console gaming audiences and the steady erosion of its handheld business, thanks to kids favoring phones and tablets over the 3DS. But its focus on a phablet-size device could – if it's the right size – give it easy access to another more nascent trend: VR.
The NX should follow the lead of Samsung's Gear VR headset, which at just $99 brought a workable version of virtual reality to Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 phone users via a partnership with Oculus. Samsung won't say how many Gear VRs have been sold, but it did reveal that usage peaked at over 1 million users in March of this year, powered by games such as Lands End, from the makers of the colorful iPad hit, Monument Valley. Thanks to a giveaway with Samsung S7 pre-orders, the numbers now are certainly higher and prove that you can slot a mobile phone – even a phablet-sized one – into a plastic visor and make a perfectly serviceable VR headset.

The NX should function exactly the same way, and who better to make VR a mainstream technology than the company that made motion control a global success with the Wii?
Such a device-as-headset setup neatly sidesteps a number of problems currently dogging the premium VR headsets made by Oculus, HTC and the forthcoming PlayStation VR. Because Gear VR uses the phone as the screen, it doesn't require you to be tethered to a computer or console. Neither would the the NX. Also, if the NX does indeed have detachable controllers, they could contain Wii-style sensors that broadcast their position, enabling you to interact with games using your hands.
There's another, more fundamental problem with the current VR platforms: no killer apps. Mining Nintendo's deep bench of world-class characters and games, from The Legend of Zelda to Super Mario World to Smash Bros. to create unique VR experiences could be just what the industry needs to convince the public to jump in.
And then there's price. Using the NX to provide both the screen and power for a headset would make a move into VR insanely cheap for both Nintendo and players – simply pack a plastic headset in with a popular game for $99 or with the console itself. It's a strategy that worked brilliantly for the 22 million-selling Wii Fit in 2007, which packaged the plastic Balance Board in with the game (though it didn't hurt that TMZ caught Oprah Winfrey buying a Wii at a Walmart soon after). It would be a lot cheaper to produce – and to buy – than an Oculus or HTC Vive, whose price points are considered too high for mainstream success in the near term.
So far, so possible, but don't expect to see a headset packed in at launch. Both Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima have expressed interest in virtual reality – Miyamoto has publicly declared they're researching it – but there are concerns. "Long play sessions are an issue," said Miyamoto of VR, at the company's recent shareholder meeting. "We want to release something that can be played for long periods, carries value, and is affordable. We want parents to feel at ease."
Still, if Nintendo is wary of cutting kids off completely from the room around them, a rear-mounted camera on the NX could also pass-through live video of the room to the screen and deliver an augmented reality (AR) experience, more like Microsoft's HoloLens or the long-gestating Magic Leap. Pokémon Go is already doing this on phones, but Nintendo's Pikmin games – which feature tiny creatures that live in backyards and woodlands – would be another natural fit, as would a new Pokemon Snap. AR would certainly be a match for the company's oft-repeated mantra of encouraging social, family-friendly play.
Speaking to Glixel about VR tech at this year's E3 show, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé, was characteristically pragmatic but left the door open. "The question for us is when is the technology going to be mass-market-ready," he said. "We don't see that it's mass-market-ready right now but there certainly could be a point in the future when it is, and when it is mass-market ready is when you can expect Nintendo to be there."
If the NX is as powerful and as portable as we think, it should be a matter of when, not if.

The existing TDI techniques have been limited to line-scan like imagers, but it is possible to use the ordinary area scan interline transfer CCD imaging devices in TDI scanning mode, which allows the user to obtain a high resolution area-scan image with very high sensitivity from any conventional interline transfer CCD imager.
One way to increase dynamic range is to take several images at different exposures and then combine them to achieve a net higher dynamic range. This approach works well, if there is no motion in the scene, and there are extended periods of time available to process the image, but dynamic imaging applications involve motion of either the camera or the object being observed and taking multiple sequential exposures causes image blur. The Cheetah camera, however, has been optimized for high speed surveillance and tracking applications by employing a proprietary method to extend the sensors dynamic range using multiple-slope exposures within a single frame time eliminating motion blurring effects.


but i wanted everyone to know i just updated the links bar, and added a "save the "vaquitas"".
this link will take you to a WWF where i placed my cause.
if you are willing and able i would love for you guys to donate for the cause.
Living in London, he grew up in the farm land, so it shouldn't be a surprise that all his sculptures are mostly of animals. his work shows the animal while on movement, yet with this vitality you perceived form the pieces, if you look closer you will actually see how delicate they really are. which is what firstly attracted me to his work. he is having quite a few exhibits around London and he is a musician.hope to see more of his work in the near future.
and no, i do not believe he is related to Sir Joseph Paxton, who i wrote 2 weeks ago, but let me know if i'm mistaken.
born in Russia. she studied architecture, at the moment, she illustrate books and even has her own calendar. she uses digital art, pencil, pens & watercolor. in her webpage you can see her ability quite easily. i would say she is inspired by art nouveau, her work is intricate, visually attractive and her use of color is soft but empowering. hope to see more of her work soon.

From The Box Office Reviews: Missing at The Battersea Arts Centre
September 12, 2018 October 8, 2018 Kennedy Porter
After its opening at The Battersea Arts Centre in 2015, the run of Gecko's physical theatre production, Missing, was interrupted when a fire destroyed the iconic venue's Grand Hall. After repairs and renovations, the show has been reintroduced as the opening of the centre's Phoenix Season, and what an opening it is…
Missing is certainly not your average piece of theatre. The distinct lack of dialogue may initially intimidate viewers that do not usually expose themselves to such pieces, but I urge you to see it. What this show does so well is to communicate a kaleidoscope of emotions in the most human way possible: the movements of the cast, performed in an intricate and complex choreography for the duration of the show, express everything you need to know, and are even almost primal at parts. The cast, through their physicality, do not just tell you the story of Lily, a woman emotionally damaged by the breakdown of her parents' marriage, but show you it and, more importantly, present it to you in a way that makes you feel her pain for yourself.
The choreography and composition of this production is nothing short of mesmerising. There is not a single moment that does not demand your full attention, no movement wasted, and no action without significance or consequence. There is a risk, I think, when relying heavily on physical theatre to express a story such as this one, that you will lose the audience's attention or fascination as the show goes on. That simply doesn't occur with Missing. Before a sequence has the chance to become uninteresting, it is interrupted, sometimes only momentarily, with a flashback, or the glimmer of a memory from Lily's childhood, and then snapped back into the present moment or into a new sequence.
The little dialogue that is present in the piece is spoken in a range of European languages, which, for me at least, merely reiterates the universality of the emotions that are evoked by the actors' movements. You do not need to understand the words that they are saying, for their movements and how they speak communicate to you more than the words themselves could anyway.
While this kind of production may not appeal to every kind of theatre fan, it is the kind of show that is unmissable merely for what it achieves and how it does it. If you go only to appreciate the intricacy of the movements and experience the emotions that it evokes, Missing is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.

Review: Jon Brittain's Rotterdam shoots an arrow right at the heart of the human condition ★★★★
June 29, 2017 June 29, 2017 niallrpalmer
Tired of unrelentingly bad news? Need some sunshine to drive away the rain? Then follow the rainbow to the Arts Theatre, currently home to the sensationally funny and deeply moving Olivier Award-winning transfer of Rotterdam. With its central themes of transgender identity, sexuality and non-linear relationships, I must admit that I expected an evening of tense, serious theatre – not a bit of it. Read more →

For anyone looking for an affordable, easy to maintain little country house to escape to whenever required, this is the perfect solution! Located on a hillside overlooking the lake, this lovely house offers peace and tranquillity in addition to total privacy.
Located in the hills, accessed from the main roads via a tarmac country lane and then a dirt track which is passable all year in any type of vehicle, the house has a parking area for two cars just off the track. From here, steps lead down to the rear tiled garden area with access to a useful store area, a shed, and log store area to the side of the house. The door into the house from this side leads straight into the kitchen (8m2), and a small distribution area at the far end leads to the bathroom, to the right (4.3m2) with shower unit and the main bedroom to the left (13.4m2) with built-in wardrobe incorporating mirror doors, and air conditioning unit (hot and cold).
From the kitchen and distribution area, is access to the living room, (18.8m2), with wood-burner, air conditioning (hot and cold) and double sliding glass doors leading out onto the main garden terrace. The sofa in the living room is a king size double sofa bed. To the far left of the living room is access to bedroom 2 (9.64m2) which is currently being used as a dining room. Indeed, this room is perfect as a dining room that is convertible to a bedroom when visitors are staying as it has a bed tucked away in the wall which can be pulled down when required. This room is separated from the living room with double sliding doors.
Outside, most of the area is tiled in rustic terracotta tiles, with a small area still to complete. The pool is located to the side of the house, and is 6 x 3m, plus stone surround, with steps leading down into the water. The pool has a 'swim jet' mechanism to allow swimmers to swim against a moving current. It has a cover and a cover roller (currently stored in the loft).
The views are stunning, and one can never tire of them, with the colour of the water changing regularly with the sky and the dramatic movement of the clouds over the mountains. The rest of the land drops steeply down below the garden terrace into the valley below. Around the garden area is a fully automatic irrigation system.

An Examination of the Biblical Evidence ...
An Examination of the Biblical Evidence for Open Theism
Yöney F.
HEYTHROP JOURNAL, cilt.61, ss.253-266, 2020 (AHCI İndekslerine Giren Dergi)
Doi Numarası: 10.1111/heyj.13338
Dergi Adı: HEYTHROP JOURNAL
Open Theist theologians argue that their view of divine foreknowledge and providence is the correct interpretation of the Bible, and suggest some biblical evidence to support this claim. Among these theologians, Gregory A. Boyd's case is the most systematic, and also the most comprehensive and rigorous. Taking into consideration (1) the main philosophical claims of Open Theism and its main rivals, namely Calvinism and Molinism, and (2) Open Theist theologians' interpretative principles for the Bible, the biblical evidence for Open Theism suggested by Boyd can be classified into three groups according to their strength. I will argue that the first group of themes has no evidential value for Open Theism, since these themes can be interpreted just as plausibly from a Calvinist or Molinist perspective. By contrast, the second group of themes has some evidential value and thus constitutes prima facie evidence for Open Theism, since these themes make most sense under an Open Theist interpretation. However, these themes also make some sense on a Molinist reading. The third group of themes, I argue, has most evidential value for Open Theism, since it seems hard to reconcile these themes either with Calvinism or Molinism.

The Influence of Weather and Ocean Processes Using Numerical Modeling on the Fate and Transport of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
We proposed to expand the Lagrangian transport simulation, developed in Phase 1, to cover the entire period of the oil spill disaster. Additionally, physical, chemical, and biological processes will be added to the model. Rather than rely on one kind of formulation, different options for representing these physics will be explored, as well as new timestepping schemes. Prototype models will also be prepared, such as parallel version of the Lagrangian particle model based on the Cactus open source framework, and an Eulerian oil transport/fate model.

Historical relevance and play combined.
Fronting a high profile industrial heritage zone in Port Adelaide and adjacent the wharf, this playground with its ultra-energised, milling theme and high-contrast, urban colour palette reinvigorates the historic area. Designed for regional appeal, the industrial reference points play off against the sleek, neon yellow equipment, which form a variety of structures from swings to words, wheels to climbable elements and towers to shelters. Yellow road markings continue through the concrete and asphalt surfaces, delineating numerous activity zones where the diverse range of play pieces sit.
PlayRope was heavily involved in the creation of this customised play space and provided the majority of the distinctive items like: the roplay ball, rotor, swing, cargo station, tyre spin, cable way, trampoline and 9.5 metre high Dalben Tower with slide. All unite to form an exceptional park that highlights the timeline between modern urban character and historic industrial setting. As can be seen by the awards listed below, this is one of the most successful public developments in recent times.


While restaurants and eateries in Singapore may dish out a wide variety of delicious food, they still lag behind at doing it sustainably. Menus with a high carbon footprint, food wastage, excessive use of plastic disposables, and poor waste segregation are just some of the factors that stand between them and sustainability.
Concerns over the impact of the F&B industry in Singapore and the consumption habits of the general public have led to four local non-profits joining hands to encourage change through their project, 'Makan SG'.
Through Makan SG, the Centre for a Responsible Future (CRF), People's Movement to Stop Haze (PM Haze), Plastic-Lite Singapore, and Zero Waste SG hope to address five key areas: using food ingredients that have a low environmental footprint, sourcing palm-based cooking oil sustainably, reducing and managing waste effectively, reducing and eliminating the use of disposable plastics, and conserving energy. Addressing these key issues will help restaurants and eateries to become environmentally sustainable.
As a first step, the non-profits have released a preliminary guide on how to address these issues. This guide is targeted at restaurant and eatery owners. Those interested to receive a copy of the guide can email Ms Aishwarya Maythil aishwarya@vss.sg or Ms Zhang Wen zhangwen@pmhaze.org.
The non-profits are partnering with a certifying organisation, Control Union, to develop a Sustainable Restaurant Assessment and Ranking system, which will be released in early 2019.
Workshops and talks to educate restaurant and eatery owners about sustainable practices are also in the pipeline. The first talk, which introduced the preliminary guide and its key messages, was held during the Climate Action Carnival on 3 Jun.
The non-profits will also work together to raise awareness amongst the public of personal actions that they can take when eating out to help restaurants go green, such as avoiding straws, using Bring Your Own (BYO) containers and cutlery, and ordering smaller portions.
With support from governing bodies and community groups, informed decisions by consumers, and sufficient planning and long-term commitment from restaurants and eateries, the journey towards sustainability can be made both simpler and more rewarding.
The Centre for a Responsible Future (CRF) is a registered non-profit and charity, with a mission to engage people and organisations in Singapore to adopt more responsible practices for a better future, through its five core areas of work; plant-based diets, environment & sustainability, compassion towards animals, health & fitness through plant-based diets and support for plant-based businesses. Our initiatives include Vegetarian Society Singapore, Animal Allies, EarthFest, PlantForward and Alliance for a Responsible Future (ARF). CRF believes in collaborating closely with volunteers, community groups, educational institutions, businesses and government bodies to create a better future for everyone and a greener planet.
People's Movement to Stop Haze, known as PM Haze, is a non-profit focusing on outreach, research and advocacy on the transboundary haze crisis. Our mission is to drive a global movement to stop the haze by empowering the community with the knowledge, means and values. Steering consumption patterns towards sustainable palm oil and paper as well as assisting Indonesian and Malaysian farmers to create a sustainable livelihood are two main ways we empower our community.
Plastic-Lite Singapore is a community of volunteers that raises awareness about the over-use of disposable plastics in Singapore. We reach out to schools, eateries, corporates, and the general public via roadshows and targeted initiatives to spread the message that each piece of disposable plastic refused is one more step towards saving the environment. Our initiatives include No-Straw Tuesdays, where we encourage schools to not give out straws in school canteens every Tuesday; Plastic-Lite Eateries, where we encourage cafes and restaurants to stop using plastic straws, plastic food/drink takeaway containers and cutlery; and Bounce Bags, where we set up designated points in convenient locations, such as wet markets and shopping streets, for the community to deposit and pick up reusable bags. This project is still in its early stages.
Zero Waste SG is a non-profit and non-governmental organisation dedicated to help Singapore eliminate the concept of waste, and accelerate the shift towards zero waste and the circular economy. Zero Waste SG aims to promote education and engagement on the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) among individuals and households; increase waste minimisation and recycling among businesses and organisations; and reduce specific waste such as food waste and plastic disposables.

In this week's cover story "Eating Our Hearts Out," we've once again rounded up all of the 100 Favorite Dishes from the prior year in one convenient spot -- dishes which exemplify Houston's status as "the South's new Creole city," "Mutt City," or whichever moniker you choose to apply to the City of Culinary Excesses (my current choice).
The 100 Favorite Dishes serve as sort of a love letter to Houston food, itself a vast quilt representing nearly every country and ethnicity on God's green earth.
John T. Edge summed it up best in the August 2012 issue of Oxford American when he wrote that "all latitudes and longitudes are accessible by way of a concrete Hot Wheels track and a four-barrel Pontiac."
To explore all of the 100 dishes on our list (which is a truly noble quest), you'll definitely need to make use of the Hot Wheels tracks that make up our freeway system -- but the choice of cars is your own. You may also find this map handy in your journeys.
View 100 Favorite Dishes 2012 in a larger map.
This year's list of 100 Favorite Dishes will gear up again in May and as you can see from the map above, there's still plenty of Houston territory to cover. Although the sprawl of our vast city can often be frustrating, that's the silver lining of it all: There are seemingly endless swaths of Houston and its surrounding suburbs to explore. There's always something new to discover here. That's what makes Houston the city I love.
Until the 2013 list of 100 Favorite Dishes gears up, pick up a copy of this week's print edition and maybe you'll find something new to love too.


Well I have been absent for quite some time now living this Spanish life style and let me tell you what, IT IS AMAZING! I highly recommend to anyone to travel to Spain for a study abroad program because just like everyone says, it is a once in a life time opportunity.
So for the 1st month in this study abroad program there has been a lot going on. To start, the Spanish language is improving every day. The more you submerse yourself into the Spanish culture and Spanish language while avoiding from only hanging out with your American study abroad friends, the more you will learn. But sometimes it is hard to do. Like me it has be very overwhelming but very productive in learning the Spanish language. Like I said in my post from about a month ago, "It is very hard to learn the language when your teacher only speaks Spanish and just about as mush English as I do Spanish." Which is very little. But day by day I have been learning a little more Spanish and adding it to my Spanish vocabulary. And the only way to actually learn the Spanish language is to speak it. You can be an expert at Spanish vocabulary and conjugations but if you can't speak the language you have a lot more to learn. Don't think that after a month you will be able to fluently speak the Spanish language, because I definitely cannot. I still have to have my roommate translate for me because the Spaniards speak so fast with a thick accent here in the southern part of the country. But we go everywhere together. Two heads are better than one, especially for me because I am only a month into learning the Spanish language and can only communicate on a small scale.
Anyway, there are all kinds of things to do here in Spain as either a group or individually. In Sevilla, you have to go see the orchestra concert in the Alcazar which are magnificent gardens located in the center of the city. Right next to the Alcazar is the Cathedral which also happens to be the 3rd largest in the world. If you walk to the top of the tower you can see everything absolutely everything. The Las Setas, which is the big mushroom looking structure, is also another amazing place to visit. During this past month, if you didn't know, Spain won the Euro Cup and like every American knows, Europeans live and die for futbol a.k.a. soccer! Well things got a little crazy during each continuing round of the Euro Cup as Spain advanced to the Championship game. And the Las Setas was a main attraction for Spanish students to watch the game. Anyway long story short, Spain went absolutely loco when they won and about 250 people piled into one of the famous fountains and took the head off the statue! Moving along, you can see the documents of Christopher Columbus and his exploration and discovery of America. Kayaking or paddle boating in the river is a fun and relaxing activity to do along with going to the water park just on the out skirts of the city. Plaza de Espana is nothing like anything in the world! It was used in the making of the 2nd Stars Wars movie to say the least. And the gardens that lie just to the side of plaza de Espana are like a tropical jungle in the middle of the city.
That's all for now folks. Ill be back in hopefully a week.
Ok so the first week is completed! During the first summer session I am currently taking international finance and beginning Spanish 1&2. The international finance class seems to be smooth sailing but however my Spanish class is going to test my abilities. In the very beginning when I had to sign up for my classes that I wanted to take while studying abroad, and one thing that I made sure to do was to choose the Spanish classes that were taught in English. Come to find out that the ISA study abroad program here in Sevilla does not have any Spanish classes taught in English. Now I don't quite understand how someone who came to Spain with no ability to speak Spanish (me), to learn to speak Spanish is supposed to do so when they don't know what the teacher is trying to teach?? But oo well. I guess the coordinators just want the students to concentrate harder and pay closer attention to the Spanish culture and piece words together, because frankly it's a head ache. Overall day by day I learn a little and a little more. By the end of the 2nd summer session the goal is to be able to fully speak Spanish. And besides that being my only complaint, Sevilla is AWESOME and if anyone has the opportunity to do so should then you shouldn't hesitate. I have been here for 8 nights and I love it!!!
Ok, so I have been in Spain for 4 days now and it proves to hold a bright and successful future. Even though I came to Spain with minimum ability to speak, read, or write the Spanish language it has been a blast. Sometimes people say "its not what you know, its who you know." Well, case closed. When traveling abroad, make sure you have a friend or meet a friend that can become your personal translator and everything will become much easier. I am in Seville, Spain on a back-to-back summer study abroad program and so far I am having the time of my life even though I cannot communicate with the locals or my host family. My roommate Cameron has provided me with more than enough information that I could learn by simply reading out of some English to Spanish dictionary. Overall, my journey in Spain has begun. We have been in Madrid for 2 nights and experienced a taste of the crazy night life during the futbol game for the Spanish President's cup. It was something that one can simply not describe but can only experience. Along with Madrid, we spent a night in Toledo. Hands down it was one of the most beautiful cities that I have ever been to. Every turn you made or every sight you could see was a Kodak moment. Now, I am in Seville. The real adventure has started and I am soon off to my first class of the program. Beunos noches!!


I've had a dual career, as a documentary filmmaker and fine-art photographer specializing in architecture, and I've struggled over the years to express my Jewish identity in my work. While working at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1992, I had an opportunity to go to Poland to make a short film about Poland's "hidden" Jewish child survivors of the Holocaust. The trip was an eye-opener for me. I was deeply moved by the efforts of those Jews to live Jewish lives in a country which was then only emerging from the nightmare of decades of repression and in which many people, too many, still clung to anti-Semitic stereotypes as a substitute for understanding history and politics. But I was completely overwhelmed by the material culture to which I was exposed, the remnants of Jewish life, particularly the cemeteries and the architecture. Those physical remains spoke deeply to me, mute evidence and concrete expression, ironically, of the lives of those vibrant communities before the onslaught and their sudden demise.
Since then, I have returned repeatedly to Poland. As a filmmaker, I have developed a strong interest in Yiddish culture, and as a photographer I find it inspirational to be in a country with such a direct, continuing connection to the Yiddish world that once flourished in Poland and the surrounding states. I find the cemeteries particularly moving, for the beauty of the stone work, both decorative and calligraphic, for the large size and intricate designs of many of the monuments, and for their lengthy and poetic inscriptions, usually in Hebrew but also in Yiddish and Polish. In the artwork, one can see the struggle between tradition and modernity, and in the inscriptions, one can see in the idealized descriptions of the deceased the expression of changing communal values. Through these artefacts in the "Houses of Life," the histories of these communities come to life.
Ironically, it was the years of neglect under Nazi occupation and then the Communist regime that added to the visual appeal of Jewish cemeteries in Poland. Before the Second World War, they were as manicured and constrained as most Jewish cemeteries in North America, but over five decades forests were allowed to grow up among the graves. Today, partly wild, partly tended, the Jewish cemeteries in Lodz, Warsaw, Krakow and Wroclaw are perfect gardens, visually arresting, constantly changing, inviting and restful both for the visitor and those who lie within. I have found in these gardens a photographic subject that is challenging, full of variety, and emotionally and intellectually resonant—a subject that has engaged and continues to engage me.
I have done extensive photographic work in four Polish cities with the largest Jewish cemeteries: Lodz, Warsaw, Krakow, and Wroclaw. This summer (2012) I am working in southeast Poland, travelling to significant smaller cemetery sites, such as in Tarnow. In addition to the cemetery photographs, wherever possible, I have also photographed synagogues and other significant Jewish historic architectural sites, e.g., remnants of the Warsaw ghetto and the ghetto environs of Lodz, significant buildings such as Poznanski's palace in Lodz, and residential buildings in the Praga section of Warsaw, formerly a Jewish district.
All of the colour images have been created either with 4 x 5 inch (10 x 12 cm.) film using an architectural view camera or with a digital view camera yielding images of 80 megabytes or more. In practical terms, this means the photographs can be printed in monumental sizes if desired, up to 60 inches wide (1.5 metres) or even more, yet showing exquisite detail.


Pitkin County Landfill's enticing environment for black bears might have proved too enticing for a tandem of Indiana hunters.
Dan Roe and his son Alex are due in Pitkin County District Court on June 19 to face charges associated with what authorities say was the illegal killing of a black bear at the landfill, a popular feeding spot for area bruins.
Details are limited on what actually transpired at the landfill Sept. 13, the day the two allegedly killed the bear. The agency that ticketed the two, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, did not have information readily available Tuesday.
Both Roes face charges of willful destruction of big game, a Class 5 felony, and misdemeanor counts of failure to dress or care for wildlife, illegal possession of wildlife and hunting on private property. The 9th Judicial District Attorney's Office filed the charges May 9.
The landfill's assistant solid waste manager, Jed Miller, said Tuesday the bear's carcass was found on the property.
"Basically, they snuck in at night, shot the bear, skinned the bear and left the bear covered up with trash," Miller said.
Colorado law requires hunters who kill bears to present the animal's pelt and carcass to a parks and wildlife official within five days of the kill.
Bear hunting is allowed in Colorado in September, October and November with various restrictions enforced in different parts of the state. Rifles, muzzleloaders and archery is permitted among license holders.
The Roes have yet to make a court appearance or enter a plea, said their attorney, Richard Nedlin of Aspen.
The landfill, located 9 miles west of Aspen off Highway 82, has become a well-visited feeding ground for black bears.
In 2012, a Pitkin County Landfill employee was terminated for killing a bear on the facility's property, using a bow and arrow. The county also at one time considered opening the landfill to bear hunting, but that idea failed to gain traction.

MD-Expo Manchester and London 2017
Posted on 03rd December 2017 by colourandcode
Building on the success of last year's event, MD-Expo 2017 brought more students face to face with more universities. Over nine hundred registrations were made to the two events ensuring a busy but rewarding weekend for all. Unlike days organised by fee charging agencies, MD-Expo brought students, parents and universities together. Guests were able to ask questions to university representatives, the Medical Doorway team and also NHS doctors who have qualified from our partner universities.
We were proud to have seven of Europe's most popular universities in attendance. Saturday 11th November found us at the Manchester Conference Centre. The Expo moved to London's Royal Society of Medicine on Sunday 12th November.
Charles University, Palacky University and Masaryk University travelled from the Czech Republic to talk about their medicine and dentistry programmes. Maris Ginters represented Riga Stradins University (Latvia), with some students starting their application process on the day. Medical Doorway's exclusive partner in Bulgaria, Pleven Medical University, were also in attendance.
For the first time Poznan University of Medical Sciences participated in MD-Expo. Poznan offers a four year grade entry medicine programme making this a particular popular university. Also attending for the first time was Queen Mary University of London. Their attendance was specific for their MBBS Malta. The first Medical Doorway studies enrolled in 2017 and applications for 2018 Malta programme are already being received.
In addition to being able to speak with universities, visitors had the chance to listen to a variety of expert talks. Presentations from the universities and Medical Doorway were well received but the most popular was from Dr Suhib Tahir. Suhib, a graduate of Charles University First Faculty of Medicine, spoke to students and parents about his six-year experience being an international medical student. His experience in the transition from Czech Republic to a career at Papworth and Addenbrooke's Hospitals in Cambridge underlined the opportunities available for high calibre graduates. Dr Natasha Mazumder (Masaryk University) was also available to provide advice on her journey from Masaryk University to speciality paediatrics training.
Dr Sahib Tahir (Charles University First Faculty) talked about his transition to a career in the NHS
MD-Expo 2018 in Manchester and The Royal Society of Medicine in London is already booked for the weekend of 3rd and 4th November 2018.

The Use of Force in Law Enforcement Operations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory
Israel-Palestine: Publication
Download PDF (opens in a new window)
This legal brief aims to provide a simplified overview of the international legal framework regulating the use of force in law enforcement operations, and its application in occupied territory. More specifically, it provides an accessible guide to the international legal rules applicable to Israel and the Israeli security forces executing such functions in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt), especially in the West Bank. On the basis of the requirements of international law that it surveys, the brief outlines concrete changes—in law, policy and practice—that the Israeli authorities must implement in the oPt. In so doing, the brief seeks to assist stakeholders in the oPt by furnishing them with clear guidance on appropriate language to use in their engagements with duty bearers with regard to the use of force, including guidance specific to each stage of law enforcement operations.
For more on the use of force see our Q&A on the use of force in law enforcement in the occupied Palestinian territory, thematic note on law enforcement in Israel-Palestine, and the Diakonia Easy Guide to IHL (available in English and Arabic).

Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano speaks at a Monitor Breakfast at the St. Regis Hotel in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. The need to develop a skilled cyber workforce is a formidable challenge for government, she said.
Homeland Security seeks student hackers to help counter cyberthreats
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is out to find some 600 'hackers for good,' but sequester cuts are derailing recruiting drives to build a skilled cyber workforce in government.
By Anna Mulrine Staff writer
March 26, 2013 | Washington
There are "new and rapidly growing threats" of a cyberstrike to the US homeland – perils that will require hundreds of young, college-age hackers to counter an alarming number of daily incursions into the nation's electrical grid and financial networks, says Department of Homeland Security (DHS) head Janet Napolitano.
This will be "hackers for good," and the DHS currently has a need for about 600 of them, Secretary Napolitano added in remarks Tuesday at a Monitor Breakfast.
The need to develop a skilled cyber workforce has been a common – and formidable – challenge for a number of US government agencies, including DHS and the Pentagon, which is also struggling to build its own cyber workforce.
That's because most skilled "cyber warriors," as the US military calls them, often get recruited by private industry after their service commitments are up.
"That's a big concern, to be honest," says Col. Kiley Weigle, commander of the Air Force's Cyber Training Unit. "We have not, in my opinion, fully cracked that nut yet."
The Air Force set up an internship program for high school students, who were given security clearances to work in the service's Cyber Emergency Response Team unit.
But sequestration, which for the Pentagon has come with requirements to cut the number of temporary employees on the payroll, has forced a cancellation of the high school training program for the Air Force.
"I can't do the internship program anymore," says Maj. Gen. Suzanne "Zan" Vautrinot, commander of Air Force Network Operations at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas, who adds that the service is continuing to work to find ways to "give these kids experience so they can see our forensics."
At DHS, young hackers – who have not yet entered the job market – potentially "have a bunch of different skill sets" to offer the country, Napolitano says.
"We don't need PhDs in computer [science]" for many of the jobs they will be called upon to do, she says.
To that end, DHS is launching "a whole host of internships and fellowships for young people to get," Napolitano adds, noting that the department recently had "over 3,000 kids compete for 60 billets" in one such program.
"We know there's a market there," she says.
In a similar vein, the department recently conducted a workforce analysis to "look at what cyber skills we need in our department," she says.
"What is missing? What are the gaps?"
Napolitano says that one such gap is figuring out how to better coordinate with the National Security Agency, which spearheads many of the nation's offensive cyber missions.
There is, too, the need to focus on the intersection between the government and the private sector, "because they control most of our nation's critical infrastructure," she says, adding that she remains particularly concerned with protecting the nation's financial and energy sectors.
That said, it's vital "to scale" the approach to a potential cyberattack, she adds.
While some cyberattacks are state-sponsored, the "US has to be in a position where not everything is dealt with at the same level, because there are different types of attacks, different methodologies," she says.
"Not everything is a Pearl Harbor, obviously,"

USMNT to close out 2020 with friendly against El Salvador
One more to close out the year.

It's been reported for a few weeks, but this morning U.S. Soccer made it official: The United States Men's National Team will have one more match in 2020. The USMNT will face El Salvador on December 9th at Inter Miami CF Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Kickoff is set for 7:30pm ET and will be on one of the ESPN family of networks, UniMas, and TUDN.
The match will come just a couple weeks after the USMNT faced Wales and Panama during the November FIFA international window. Those matches featured almost entirely European-based American players. This match against El Salvador will occur outside of a FIFA window, so it is expected that this roster will consist of all MLS-based players with the possibility of some players from Liga MX. USMNT head coach Gregg Berhalter is expected to announce his full roster on Tuesday.
"Playing against El Salvador gives us an opportunity to face a Concacaf opponent that we haven't seen yet and will be a valuable experience," Berhalter said in a statement released by U.S. Soccer. "We want to build on this year's work while continuing to evaluate the player pool as we head into a busy 2021."
The match will be the first for any U.S. Soccer team that features fans since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Attendance for this match will be capped at 2,500 fans. Inter Miami CF Stadium has a normal capacity of 18,000. Strict safety protocols will be in place for this match for all fans who choose to attend.
This will be the first friendly against El Salvador since a 2-1 USMNT win back in February 2010 in Tampa. The most recent match between the two teams came in the 2017 Gold Cup quarterfinals, where the USMNT won 2-0 in Philadelphia. The USMNT holds a 17-1-5 W-L-D record all time against Los Cuzcatlecos.

Never mind that the decade really ends in a little over a year, it's time to take stock of it. Today's post looks back at the decade just past while tomorrow's will look at the decade to come.
As I observed before, this decade is marked by atemporality. The greatest symptom of this is our inability to name the decade and, although commentators have tried to dub it the naughties, the aughts, and the 00s (is that pronounced the ooze?), the decade remains, as Paul Krugman suggests, a Big Zero, and we are unable to periodize it. This is not just a matter of linguistic discomfort, its a reflection of the atemporality of network culture. Jean Baudrillard is proved right. History, it seems, came to an end with the millennium, which was a countdown not only to the end of a millennium but also to the end of meaning itself. Perhaps, the Daily Miltonian suggested, we didn't have a name for the decade because it was so bad.
-- EXCERPT FROM "A DECADE IN RETROSPECT" BY KAZYS VARNELIS
It's time for my promised set of predictions for the coming decade. It has been a transgression of disciplinary norms for historians to predict the future, but its also quite common among bloggers. So let's treat this as a blogosphere game, nothing more. It'll be interesting to see just how wildly wrong I am a decade from now.
In many respects, the next decade is likely to seem like a hangover after the party of the 2000s (yes, I said party). The good times of the boom were little more than a lie perpetrated by finance, utterly ungrounded in any economy reality, and were not based on any sustainable economic thought. Honestly, it's unclear ...

2009 was an important year for the Internet as a whole. The advent of web 2.0 and "crowdsourcing" initiatives has enabled a much richer array of content from users who might never have ventured onto the Internet in previous years. My top 10 sites for this year cover a wide range of topics from art made for mobile devices with iPhoneArt.org to evidence of both information saturation with Information Aesthetics and physical and pseudo intellectual abundance with This is Why You're Fat and There I Fixed It, to strange observances of mistakes in the public realm with Fail Blog. In addition to these crowdsourced content sites, I also see some ongoing potential with artist-created sites such as Brett Domino's lowtech approach to music making ...

Interview with Mark Amerika
Rick Silva | Wed Nov 18th, 2009 12:45 p.m.
Amerika describes himself as a "thoughtographer", an "artist-medium", a "fictional philosopher", a "remixologist", a "network conductor", a wanderer who constantly changes identities and roles in a fragmentary world where time acquires an a-synchronic and non real dimension. By trying to express the complexity and the interest of contemporary digital reality, he delves into different aspects of himself and draws on elements and traits that he transfers to the characters of his works, by using the media, the technological platforms of our time. Developing projects on the net, filming with mobile phones, remixing common moments and figures of today's culture in a VJ-like audiovisual rhythm, Amerika redefines the characteristics of today's culture and opens up the possibilities for new interpretations and thoughts from the audience itself. -- "UNREALTIME" at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens

World's First, Possibly Only and Probably Last iPhone Drum Circle (aka IPDC) (2009) - MTAA and Mike Koller
Ceci Moss | Tue Oct 13th, 2009 10 a.m.
The Basic Plan - On Sunday September 20 at 2pm, MTAA, Mike Koller and anyone else who wants to join us will set out a brightly colored blanket surround by a circle of chairs at McCarren Park, Williamsburg, Brooklyn. They will have amplified iPhones on which they have downloaded touchscreen drum and bongo applications. They will have open amp jacks that you can plug into. For the next hour we will attempt to "jam."
As explained by Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead "The main objective (of a drum circle) is to share rhythm and get in tune with each other and themselves. To form a group consciousness. To entrain and resonate. By entrainment, I mean that a new voice, a collective voice, emerges from the group as they drum together."
As explained by M.River of MTAA "The main objective of the iPhone Drum Circle is to get a total stranger to do a little dance on our blanket. That and hopefully enjoying the last summer Sunday in the park this year for an hour."

Art In Your Pocket
Jonah Brucker-Cohen | Tue Jul 7th, 2009 1 p.m.
As the niche genre of software art expands beyond the web and into mobile devices, media artists are finding ways to integrate their work into a new form of business model. Instead of giving away your work for free on the web, Apple's iPhone and iTouch devices provide an ample platform for distribution (through the Apple App Store) and hardware support for novel ways to experience screen-based work.

Interview with Graham Harwood
Michael Connor | Wed Jan 28th, 2009 1:30 p.m.
Telephone Trottoire is a publishing system for communities to share news, stories, and opinions over the mobile phone. The system dials members of the Congolese community and plays them a recording in the Lingala language. The recording might be a story, song, or joke, or it could be a discussion of a serious issue. The recipient of the call has the option of leaving a comment in response or forwarding the call to someone else, allowing the system to grow virally. It was developed on behalf of Congolese communities in London by MediaShed, a 'free-media' organization based in Southend-on-Sea, England.
At 01SJ 2008, three artists Graham Harwood, Richard Wright and Matsuko Yokokoji (formerly Mongrel ) presented Tantalum Memorial, an art installation based on Telephone Trottoire. This same installation will be on view at the art and digital culture festival transmediale in Berlin this week. Tantalum Memorial is one of eight projects to win the transmediale 2009 Award. I met up with Harwood at a Peet's Coffee in San Jose last June to discuss these two projects. He wore a hat with the word 'ADDICT' emblazoned across the front (his son's) and ordered an herbal tea. - Michael Connor

Comma, Pregnant Pause (2004) - Oliver Payne and Nick Relph
Ceci Moss | Fri Dec 26th, 2008 1:39 p.m.
Excerpt from text accompanying Comma, Pregnant Pause:
A comma indicates a pause or break between parts of a sentence; in spoken communication, a pregnant pause is one that is full of meaning - significant - suggestive. This video features mobile phones, in whose text messages commas are seldom used. There are often, however, pregnant pauses during the wait for a reply. This work starts with the commentary:
'I want to be the best there ever was, to beat all the best that's my cause.'
The video is dominated by two seated people dressed as mobile phones. Their costumes are based on 'Mowbli', the ubiquitous mobile phone logo from Carphone Warehouse, and their faces are covered by scary-looking masks, taken from the popular series of films Scream, 1996, 1997, 2000, and Scary Movie, 2000, 2001, 2003, but originating in Edward Munch's painting, The Scream, 1893. Their conversation is indicated by two different text alerts - '1,2,3,4' and a musical sound, like a guitar or harp - whilst each text message appears as a series of subtitles. The conversations are fractured, featuring messages such as, 'the newest thing is now wearing the word'. Young people are part of a texting culture in which messages sometimes go astray, so spoken conversation would often be more efficient.

Marmande je naselje in občina v jugozahodni francoski regiji Akvitaniji, podprefektura departmaja Lot-et-Garonne. Leta 1999 je naselje imelo 17.674 prebivalcev.

Geografija
Kraj leži v jugozahodni Franciji na desnem bregu reke Garone in njenem pritoku Trec, med Agenom in Bordeauxom.

Administracija

Marmande je sedež dveh kantonov:
 Kanton Marmande-Vzhod (del občine Marmande, občine Agmé, Birac-sur-Trec, Fauguerolles, Gontaud-de-Nogaret, Hautesvignes, Longueville, Saint-Pardoux-du-Breuil, Taillebourg, Virazeil),
 Kanton Marmande-Zahod (del občine Marmande, občine Beaupuy, Mauvezin-sur-Gupie, Sainte-Bazeille, Saint-Martin-Petit).

Naselje je prav tako sedež okrožja, v katerega so poleg njegovih dveh vključeni še kantoni Bouglon, Castelmoron-sur-Lot, Duras, Lauzun, Mas-d'Agenais, Meilhan-sur-Garonne, Seyches in Tonneins s 76.169 prebivalci.

Zgodovina
Marmande je bil ustanovljen okoli leta 1195 kot bastida na tleh nekdanjega mesta Riharda Levjesrčnega, ki je slednjemu podelil širok obseg samouprave. Kmalu po ustanovitvi je prešel v roke Toulouških grofov. Med Albižansko križarsko vojno (1209-1229) je bil večkrat oblegan; ob zavzetju mesta s strani Amaury de Montforta 1219 je sledil množični pokol njegovih prebivalcev. Pod Ludvikom IX. je bil združen s francosko krono.

Kratka angleška okupacija med stoletno vojno (1447), neuspešno obleganje Henrika IV. v letu 1577, enomesečno kljubovanje diviziji Wellingtonove armade leta 1814 je nekaj pomembnih dogodkov v njegovi poznejši zgodovini.

Znamenitosti
 cerkev Notre-Dame de Marmande s samostanom iz 13. stoletja, na seznamu francoskih zgodovinskih spomenikov,
 mestna hiša,
 trgi La place Clémenceau, La place du Château, La place du Marché

Pobratena mesta
 Ejea de los Caballeros (Španija),
 Portogruaro (Italija).

What's a Protestor Worth?
How Much is Protestor Worth?
Published on Starts at Sixty January 14, 2014
At the end of June 1971, I found myself in ward 52 of Royal Melbourne Hospital, prescribed complete bed rest and given heavy duty drugs to help my back pain. At the same time, the Moratorium Movement was planning its third march to protest against the Vietnam War. My hospital regime allowed visitors for an hour a day, between 7 and 8 p.m. Several of my fellow-theological students were involved in the Moratorium and were keen to recruit me. It was my first opportunity to march: I had been in country WA for the previous two marches and had not been required to make a decision.
'We could put you in a wheelchair and push you down Swanston Street,' my friends said, as though it was a student lark. But it was far more serious than that. I was torn, but in the end, when June 30 came around, I was too unwell to participate. At 7 p.m. that night I saw the black and white images on TV and heard my friends' first-hand reports of the 100,000 citizens who marched to the Shrine on St Kilda Road.
Melbourne Moratorium (courtesy ABC)
In the late 60s and on into the 70s many people, particularly those of us who were students, had to decide whether or not to take part in protests. These were not easy or automatic decisions. We saw people arrested and locked up at protests and knew prison was a possible consequence of civil disobedience. We heard of students in Queensland being jailed simply for gathering. 'Don't bother applying for a march permit,' premier Bjelke-Peterson told potential protestors, 'You won't get one. That's government policy now!'
We read about Martin Luther King Jr and his time in Birmingham City Jail in 1963. Founder of the Plowshares Movement, Catholic priest Dan Berrigan, who had been a leader in the anti-Vietnam war movement went to jail for trespass on and damage to the General Electric nuclear missile facility in Pennsylvania.
Mrs Bessie Riscbieth OBE, JP
A prototypical West Australian protestor was elegant and wealthy Mrs Bessie Rischbieth J.P., O.B.E. Mrs Rischbieth, a theosophist and feminist, was a grande dame from upmarket Peppermint Grove. I remember her in 1966 aged 89 wading into the Swan River in front of the bulldozers as her attempt to prevent the filling in of the river for the building of the Narrows Bridge. While she did not succeed there, her direct action earlier stopped the construction of a swimming pool in Kings Park. In court Mrs Rischbieth was haughtily defiant, but paid her fines. I don't recall if she was ever sentenced to prison. it's unlikely. No judge in small town Perth would have risked the fuss!
I learned two things from these protest movements: protestors should expect the normal consequences for their illegal actions. Just because their protests are morally right does not excuse them from the normal legal accountabilities. In fact, doing time is a way of demonstrating moral seriousness. Secondly, protestors need to be part of an organisation, people who can keep them honest, protect them in ugly situations and support them through the processes of court and prison. Solo protestors are extremely vulnerable to early burnout.
I am encouraged by the new round of protests this century, including by groups working to protect the environment. Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace clearly know the history of the anti-Vietnam War and anti-nuclear protests, and like Bessie Rischbieth and Old Testament prophets, take symbolic actions in the very places where the environment is at risk.
We are poorly served by some of the correspondents writing reports of Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace. They seem ignorant of the history of protest. They seem to believe that the protestors think they should be above the law. For the 'Arctic 30' (those detained by Russia for their protests against the Gazpron oilrig), the media have been strident in condemning Russia for their over-reaction, but they have not praised the protestors for the legal risks they ran. They have not even appraised their moral stance. The end result is that they denigrate the moral seriousness of the protestors.
Greenpeace provide strong support to those detained and to their families publicly and it would seem privately, but parts of the media don't get the process.
I'd like those reporters to read about Bessie Rischbieth, about the Berrigan brothers, Martin Luther King Jr, the Palm Sunday marches, Harvey Milk, all the heroes who have made ours a freer society. Maybe then they could more accurately evaluate the efforts of those who put their lives on the line today to make the world a better and safer place.

No extra student visas for India in trade deal, says UK international trade secretary | India News – Times of India
LONDN: UK international trade secretary Kemi Badenoch, who is at the helm of negotiating the UK-India free trade deal, says that the UK has no plan to "offer more student visas" nor specific visas for the under-35s to India as part of the UK-India free trade deal as Britain left the EU because it "does not believe in free movement".
Badenoch, who was unsuccessful in her bid to become UK PM in the summer Tory party leadership contest, told the Times, a UK newspaper, that the issue of more student visas for India, which Delhi has pressed for in the past, is off the table. "We left the EU because we didn't believe in free movement, we didn't think it was working. This is not a deal that's negotiating some kind of free movement with India," she said.
She told the Times that she is prepared to "make concessions" on issues like business mobility, but will not give Indians the kind of trade deal the UK has with Australia, which allows an unlimited number of under-35s in Australia to live and work in the UK for three years and vice-versa. "We have to make sure that each trade agreement we sign is tailored to the specific country. The kind of mobility offer I can do to a country like Australia is not going to be the same kind of mobility offer I can do with a country like India, which has got many times the population. And what people from the UK want to do when they travel to Australia is probably slightly different from what they do when they travel to India, and vice-versa as well," she said.
The UK recently signed an FTA with Australia which allows those aged 18 to 35 to live, travel and work in each other's countries for up to three years, and the agreement also makes it easier for professionals to work in each other's country.
Badenoch (43), born in London to Nigerian parents and popular among the Tory grassroots, refused to set a date for the UK-India trade deal to be signed but said she was "confident" it would be this year. "The 'deal by Diwali' mantra is one of the things I have changed since becoming trade secretary," she said. "I tell people it's about the deal, not the day. I think that having a fixed day where everything needs to be completed is not helpful in a negotiation because the other party can run down the clock. I do think a deal this year. I don't know when. But after a while if things don't conclude, then people just move on, on both sides."
The UK and India have recently agreed to a reciprocal young professionals scheme whereby the UK will offer 3,000 places annually to 18-30-year-old degree-educated Indian nationals to go to the UK to live and work for up to two years. This is not part of the FTA.
Badenoch made her first visit to India in December to initiate the sixth round of the UK-India Free Trade Agreement negotiations, where she met Union minister for commerce and industry Piyush Goyal. The seventh round of official-level negotiations is due to commence shortly.

Last Thursday night the MDTA celebrated the end of our two year digital teaching and learning programme. Over the two years I have learnt a lot about myself, my practice and technology. I feel I am ahead of other beginning teachers, due to being included in the MDTA. I hope I never have to teach in a full paper school again!
I felt underprepared for technology in HPE after finishing my Bachelor of PE. We had a couple of courses including some e-learning tools, but I feel they only just scraped the surface. The MDTA increased my confidence with the integration of technology and I have developed skills which I believe will be useful for future classes I have.
Our graduation was based in the Google Headquarters in the CBD, with wine flowing and a beautiful view. I enjoyed spending the time to thank my mentor, principal and the Manaiakalani Education Trust for my journey. Our cohort went out for dinner and watched the sunset as our final congrats and farewell to one another. Many are continuing in their current schools next year, some embarking on new journeys. I can't wait to see how we all further progress, and where we end up in the future.
Despite a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, I do think MDTA was effective for my development, and I am intrigued to follow future MDTA teachers! My blog is my pride, and without MDTA, I would not have my blog... so this is definitely what I am most thankful for!
Congratulations Georgia. I am delighted with the way you have connected as a professional through blogging and are enriching so many colleagues by sharing in this way. I have this blog in my RSS feed so will continue to be part of your online network as you spread your wings over the bridge.
Thanks for all of the support, and getting me to where I am today! I really enjoy blogging and see the value it has, so will definitely continue to blog next year!

Art and Analysis: An Adrian Stokes Reader quantity
This edition is an introductory selection from the writings of Adrian Stokes (1902-1972), the Kleinian aesthete who created a unique vision of the relation between psychoanalysis, art, and aesthetic experience in general. His approach was founded initially on his travels in Italy which then acquired a more formal theoretical foundation during his analysis with Melanie Klein. Stokes was a close friend of leading figures in both psychoanalytic and artistic-literary circles, including Richard Wollheim who organised a previous edition of extracts, The Image in Form. The present edition concentrates specifically on the writing that demonstrates the parallels between art and psychoanalysis.

4 reviews for Art and Analysis: An Adrian Stokes Reader
Lawrence Gowing, painter, and editor of 'Critical Writings of Adrian Stokes' – 01/04/2020
'Adrian Stokes' writing is the only criticism today that casts an imaginative spell like art … He recaptures as much as writing ever has of the actual reverberations of art on one's life.'
Richard Wollheim, philosopher of aesthetics and editor of 'The Image in Form: Selected Writings of Adrian Stokes' – 01/04/2020
'If Stokes' early work can be read much as though it belonged to the tradition of nineteenth-century aestheticism, it is to be observed that, throughout, there is a place reserved for psychoanalytic theory, at which it can be introduced when the moment is right.'
Donald Meltzer, psychoanalyst – 01/04/2020
'Adrian Stokes built a bridge between art and psychoanalysis that will stand for generations … When he embraced psychoanalysis, and the developments of Melanie Klein's thinking, in particular, he did so because the theories seemed to him to throw an unparalleled light on the phenomenology of art as what Wittgenstein has called "a form of life" … He sought the mysterious powers of art in its basic references to bodily experience and object relations, to visual configurations, tactile sensations, to the geography of life space, and to the haunting quality of repetition of patterns, the "incantatory" element, as he called it.'
Eric Rhode, psychotherapist and author; editor of 'A Game that Must be Lost: Collected Papers of Adrian Stokes' – 01/04/2020
'Stokes believed that the contemplation of art, even more than the contemplation of landscape, could bring the spectator to an intuitive understanding of how the often inchoate self might identify with those internal figures that psychoanalysts call "good objects". Works of art, he maintained, derive many of their attributes from the ability of both artist and spectator to commune with such objects. Neither work of art nor good object coerce; they invite. They envelop us while at the same time remaining other.'

It may have been the Bob Seger Travelin' man the last tour shirt concert at the Spectrum before they tore it down. The soundtrack of my life. Works out in the gym for months before he tours. Still runs the stage, at least he did the last time we saw him during the tour before this one. We started hangin' out after spending some time together at the Against The Wind concert in Charlotte. For the second time this year, I'm about to take off on an exciting adventure connected to my work!

The Story of the Grail and the Passing of Arthur
By Howard Pyle
IN this volume there follows the fourth and last series of those histories relating to the life and to the kingship of Arthur, King of England. In this it shall first be told how it befell with Sir Geraint; then it shall be told how the Holy Grail was achieved by Sir Galahad, the son of Sir Launcelot; and then it shall be told how King Arthur passed from this life, and how, after doing battle right royally for his crown and having overcome his enemies, he was slain by one of them whom he had wounded to death. Much in this is sad, but much is not sad; for all endings are sad, and the passing of any hero is a sad thing to tell of; but the events and the adventures and the achievements of such a man are not sad.
