An Idiot's Guide To The Radical Faeries
Further down the time-worn tunnel from the Vault of Underground Anthropological curiosities resides this archeological trove from before this current internet age, of collected published art and paper ephemera out of the era of the alternative press and printed word.
A great work of mine lately has been to sort through and scan years of collected printed work I had squirreled away. I quickly understood that there was far too much material to add into the Vault of Underground Anthropological Curiosities, so I'm putting together this side page to showcase some forgotten gems from yesteryears funny pages. Such as the above promotional advertisement from my days working at the San Francisco Sentinel newspaper during the early 1980's.
This above advertisement for the 1988 Imperial Court of Seattle annual coronation ball was published in the Seattle Gay News. The Imperial Court is a national network of drag performers who organize to throw big shows and charitable events for the Gay community, including several generations of drag queens. The Imperial Court still drags on today in a diminished state from it's former star of prominence in the GLBTQ community. I was fairly happy with this poster, solidifying several artistic styles that I still use today.
PDXS
PDXS was a radical music and politics newspaper published in Portland, Oregon. This was were I first published the "Portland Bird" comix strips archived in the "Vault of Underground Anthropological Curiosities." page . I contributed a few cover illustrations and full page comix from 1992 till 1998. Below is a cover for an article about the arch reverend Billy Graham. The chickens in the nest were based on three Oregon anti-Gay activists operating out of the "Oregon Citizen's Alliance," and organization by and for homophobic crackpots.
Seattle Gay News
Above is the cover for the arts section "Section 3" of the Seattle Gay News from 1988.
Above is probably the first newspaper cover artwork of mine published. The artwork is very primitive and very awkward, I was 17 years old when I drew this. This was for the Seattle Gay News from 2/14/1979. Besides the artwork, I designed the cover also, and shot the photograph at the bottom of the coronation for that year's Imperial drag court of Seattle. I also was staff photographer.
Above is cover art for the Northwest Passage newspaper from July 1980. The cover story was about police violence against African Americans, who again took to the streets to protest. Terrible that this is still very relevant today.
That's me with the dutch boy hair in the back row of the cover photograph. I did enjoy working with a true hippy collective.
Above is one of the posters I drew for Seattle's 1987 Gay/Lesbian Pride parade, I also was co-chair for that year's parade.

Goodreads says, "Fans of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series and Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle trilogy will devour The Beautiful and the Cursed, a wholly original interpretation of gargoyle lore. It was bizarre and inexplicable, but after it happened no one spoke of it and Ingrid Waverly was forced to leave her life in London behind. She had to trade a world full of fancy dresses and society events for Paris with her mother and younger sister, Gabby. In Paris there are no grand balls or glittering parties, and, disturbingly, the house her twin brother Grayson found for them isn't a house at all. It's an abbey. A creepy, old abbey with a roof lined in stone gargoyles that one could almost mistake for living, breathing creatures. And Grayson is missing. Yet no one seems to be concerned about Grayson's whereabouts save for Luc, a devastatingly handsome servant who has some secrets of his own. There's one secret about the city that he can't keep hidden, though. There's a murderer on the loose. And every day Grayson is missing means that there's less of a chance he's alive. Ingrid is sure her twin isn't dead--she can feel it deep in her soul--but she knows he's in grave danger, and that it's up to her and Gabby to find him before all hope is lost. Only the path to him is twisted—and more deadly than she could ever imagine."
*The cover is what first attracted me to this book and then I read the premise and was even more interested. I love books that take place in Paris; plus, they say that if you love Mortal Instruments and the Gemma Doyle series, you are bound to enjoy The Beautiful and the Cursed. Sign me up! What do you guys think?
Well I hadn't heard of this book before but it sounds really good. Gargoyles and a murderer on the loose? I'm adding it to my TBR list!
I love the cover of this book, and it does sound awesome. Adding it to my TBR list. Thanks for sharing!
I really love the cover for this book. It's so gorgeous. Honestly, that alone was enough to get me to pick up this book but the summary makes me even more excited. Great WoW pick!
I adore this dramatic cover.
You never hear about them.
Oh that cover! I love it but I'm not sure about the story. I'll wait and read some reviews first.. Nice pick though. I hope you enjoy it when in comes out.
I want this book so badly. It sounds incredible! And I adore the cover!


Christer Fuglesang, in full Arne Christer Fuglesang, (born March 18, 1957, Stockholm, Sweden), Swedish physicist and astronaut, the first Swedish citizen in space.
Fuglesang earned a master's degree in engineering physics from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm in 1981 and received a doctorate in experimental particle physics from the University of Stockholm in 1987. In May 1992 he was selected for the European Space Agency's (ESA's) astronaut corps and began training at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Ger., and he later trained at the Yury Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in Star City, Russia. After three months of specialized training on the operations of the Soyuz spacecraft, Fuglesang was selected by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for mission specialist training at the Johnson Space Center in Houston in August 1996.
Eight years after qualifying as a mission specialist, Fuglesang flew on his first space mission, STS-116, aboard the space shuttle Discovery on December 9, 2006. The mission (named "Celsius" by ESA in honour of Anders Celsius, the 18th-century Swedish astronomer) took the astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) for an assembly and crew-rotation assignment. During the 13-day mission, Fuglesang conducted two scheduled space walks in order to install new hardware for the ISS and to rewire its electrical power system. He later took part in an unscheduled third space walk to fix the faulty retraction system of a solar panel, spending more than 18 hours combined on space walks. Discovery returned to Earth on December 22.
In 2006 Fuglesang was appointed an affiliated professor at KTH, where he had taught mathematics since 1980. His second spaceflight, STS-128, aboard the space shuttle Discovery, was launched to the ISS on Aug. 29, 2009. The mission lasted nearly 14 days, and Fuglesang performed two space walks. During one of these Fuglesang and mission specialist John Olivas replaced an ammonia tank weighing about 800 kg (1,800 pounds), the largest object ever handled in a space walk. STS-128 landed on Earth on September 11.

Neighbours take fight for community hall to council committee
People from an estate in Eastcote have petitioned against an application for pillars built into their community hall without permission
Zoe Drewett
The Pembroke Park petitioners with their ward councillors Nick Denys and Becky Haggar
Neighbours opposing unplanned modifications to their community hall will get a chance to argue their case in front of councillors on August 6.
A retrospective planning application submitted by building developer Taylor Wimpey to vary approved plans for a community centre on the Pembroke Park Estate will go before a planning committee at Hillingdon Council next week.
Taylor Wimpey won the contract to build the estate in Eastcote, on the former RAF Eastcote site, under the condition they provide a fully functional community hall.
The community hall plans were approved in April 2008 as an open plan facility, which was considered acceptable by the council's planning committee.
But during the construction of the building, which began in 2012, builders discovered issues including subsidence.
According to neighbours who have petitioned against the retrospective application, the developer added a number of pillars without consulting the public or Hillingdon Council, even though this went against plans.
The interior of the community centre as it was being built in 2012 with pillars that were not part of the approved plans
The planning officer's report, which will be presented to councillors sitting on the Major Applications Planning Committee, stated: "It is considered the introduction of nine columns sub-dividing the hall would render the space unfit for its intended purpose.
"The community hall 'as built' would fail to deliver a flexible, functional and practical use of the space which could be utilised for a variety of purposes including as a meeting hall.
"The 'as built' facility with nine columns would limit the choice of end user and severely curtail the intended multi-functional use of the space, which was approved as open plan."
Planning officers have recommended that the application be refused by the committee on Wednesday next week (August 6).
Eastcote and East-Ruislip ward councillor Nick Denys (Con) will be speaking at the meeting on behalf of petitioners.
He said: "I am pleased that Council Officers have recommended to refuse the application and hope that the Major Planning Committee agrees.
"Pembroke Park residents need and deserve the community hall. Taylor Wimpey should keep the promise they made when they won the contract to build houses on RAF Eastcote."


Home Life Hacks How social media affects relationships?
Relationships are intrinsic to the human being. We need to live in society, relate and commit to fulfill our purposes. But how have the new technologies changed our way of relating? Let's talk about how social media affects relationships.
The reproduction to perpetuate the species is a survival characteristic. The conformation of communities to protect us and take care of any situation is also a characteristic of survival. Without human relationships, we would not have been able to survive as a species.
Although advances in fields such as medicine, communications and science have offered incredible advantages, the truth is that there may also be negative factors.
With the arrival of the digital age, these advances have become increasingly rapid. And the internet, of course, is a fundamental factor for all the changes that our society has experienced, and we have been changing ourselves.
Now we relate in a different way. Social networks are a sign of it but how social media affects relationships?
In the first instance, yes, it is true that they bring immediacy. Our grandparents had to wait months for a letter. Now you can write an email to a person who is literally on the other side of the world and will arrive in seconds.
In this sense, technology has helped to improve the immediacy between human relationships. We can send images, voice notation, documents, videos, a variety of options to have a communicational integration with the other person.
Throughout human history, with the exception of modern times, the ritual of dating and courtship was always seen as a formality to marry and have children. Making courtships or having dates was not something young people did for fun. But nowadays it is a very popular activity. And social networks offer tools and means that have modified seduction techniques.
Facebook profiles are full of subjective descriptions of ourselves, we strive to explain how we are and use the images to show our physical qualities. All this is part of the modern ritual of seduction and is a sign of how social media affects relationships.
Before, some friend introduced you to someone else. Now we add people with whom we have friends in common on Facebook. Before we made calls and we talked on the phone, now we chat. Before we visited to see each other and now we send photos. Before, we used to make appointments but now we manage to take pictures only.
By not having eye contact and having an easy escape in case we do not like the person, it is much easier when we talk to someone through social networks for the first time. There are many couples who have met online and have built lives together. The new generations are totally accustomed to speaking digitally. It's your habit. For them, the word "user" fits better than "person" and this can cause a dehumanization of the subject and human relationships in themselves.
You also have to be aware that it is a space where you can lie easily. You can be deceived by the person on the other side of the screen, it tells you that it is in a way or that it has some profession but the reality can be totally different.
In these situations, the two people usually end up affected. One for having been deceived and sure will be generating more problems of insecurity and distrust. And do not believe, this also affects the person who lies. Although it may not seem that way, the truth is that leading a double life is exhausting, living a parallel life affects the mental health of a person and can create serious consequences.
Acceptance and self-improvement are part of human needs and are fundamental to maintaining good mental and emotional health.
Of course, images play a fundamental role in social networks. Most users admit to taking special care with the photos they upload as they make them more attractive in order to get potential sexual partners. They select what to show and what not. This is done with the idea of showing us in a specific way to please people and can cause us to detach from our own conception and visualize ourselves only as sexual objects.
This can work when looking for sporadic relationships. But at the moment of wanting to have a lasting relationship, we face that the mystery is easily out of hand. If you have excessive contact with your partner, whether intentional or not, it will make your relationship monotonous and boring.
A relationship needs a lot of effort, a lot of commitment and to be able to truly commit ourselves we must be aware of our needs, virtues and defects. Respect is the basis of everything. A relationship can be affected by social networks in many ways. Beyond just knowing yourself in that way. After getting engaged with social media, you can easily understand how social media affects relationships.
How many couples have no problems with a photo or a comment? See a photo posted by your partner next to someone can promote jealousy and deepen insecurities and unresolved problems.
Someone commenting on the photo of your partner you can jump the alarms. In this aspect everything is relative, you may just be paranoid. But they may also be taking advantage of your good faith.
To continue seeing how social media relates to relationships, it is necessary to talk about long-distance relationships. Evidently, it is something that has boomed in the modern era. Sure you have had some kind of relationship at a distance. Or at least you know someone who has had it.
Whether you think it is stupid or something totally romantic, the truth is that it must be admitted that it can generate certain complications. Distance is something difficult to handle but with honesty and organization, you can achieve many things.

ASCO GU 2019
Immunotherapy-based regimens show promise in non-clear-cell RCC
medwireNews: Three trials point to the potential of regimens incorporating agents targeting the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) or its ligand (PD-L1) in patients with non-clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
The studies were reported at the 2019 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium in San Francisco, California, USA.
In the first trial, the phase II KEYNOTE-427 trial, which comprised 165 patients who had not received prior treatment for recurrent or metastatic non-clear-cell RCC, treatment with the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab at a dose of 200 mg every 3 weeks led to an objective response rate (ORR) of 24.8% during a median follow-up of 11.1 months.
A third of participants were receiving treatment at data cutoff and the median duration of response was unreached, reported David McDermott (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA) on behalf of the investigators.
Responses were observed across all histologic subtypes, with ORRs of 25.4%, 9.5%, and 34.6% for the papillary, chromophobe, and unclassified subgroups, respectively.
And the adverse event (AE) profile was "generally as expected," said McDermott, with 11% of participants experiencing AEs of grade 3–5, most commonly colitis and hepatitis.
He therefore concluded that the findings "support further evaluation of pembrolizumab" in this patient population.
The second study – the phase I/II CALYPSO trial – investigated the combination of the anti-PD-L1 agent durvalumab and the c-MET kinase inhibitor savolitinib in 41 patients with metastatic papillary RCC. Durvalumab was administered at a monthly dose of 1500 mg, while savolitinib was given at a once-daily dose of 600 mg, with a 4-week run-in for savolitinib.
As reported by Cristina Suárez (Hospital General Universitari Vall d'Hebron, Barcelona, Spain), over a median follow-up of 6.9 months, 27% of the participants achieved a response, with a slightly higher rate of 32% for the 28 previously untreated patients.
She noted that the majority of patients derived some clinical benefit from the regimen, with 54% experiencing a decrease in tumor burden. And all but one of the 11 responders remained on treatment at the time of analysis and again the median duration of response had not been reached.
The durvalumab–savolitinib combination was well tolerated; the majority of AEs were of grade 1 or 2, and there was only one incidence of grade 4 toxicity, a case of transaminitis.
Rana McKay, from the University of California San Diego, presented the findings of a phase II trial of the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab plus bevacizumab in patients with non-clear-cell RCC (n=39) or clear-cell RCC with sarcomatoid differentiation (n=17).
A regimen of atezolizumab 120 mg and bevacizumab 15 mg/kg, both given every 3 weeks, resulted in an ORR of 34%, with responses lasting for a median of 24 weeks.
Of note, the ORRs differed by International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium risk status, histologic subtype, and presence of sarcomatoid differentiation. For instance, the ORR was 44% for individuals with sarcomatoid differentiation and 26% for those without.
The regimen was "very well tolerated," said McKay, with AEs of grade 3 occurring in 37% of patients and no grade 4 or 5 AEs.
And she concluded: "Future studies are warranted to explore immunotherapy and novel combinations in this patient population."

A day after publication of Assam NRC final draft and a section of political parties' scathing attacks on the development, BJP national president Amit Shah on Tuesday came in full support of the crucial issue on Tuesday both in and outside of Parliament.
In Rajya Sabha , the BJP national president while participated in a debate on NRC issue said that NRC was 'heart and soul' of Assam Accord , which was signed during the reign of Rajiv Gandhi ( as Prime Minister ) in 1985 but Congress had no guts to implement the most important documents for identity illegal migrants living in Assam.
"This was the Congress PM's initiative. He (Rajiv Gandhi) did not have the courage. We have the courage and we are doing it," Amit Shah informed the House.
The BJP chief Amit Shah said Congress and other political parties who are speaking against it should clear their stand on Bangladeshi infiltrators. "Congress, TMC and other parties who are speaking against NRC should clear their stand on Bangladeshi infiltrators," said Amit Shah.
Sharpy criticising Mamata Banerjee, Shah alleged Trinamool Congress leader is trying to incite the fear of civil war for vote bank politics. "I heard many parties speak in the Rajya Sabha but surprisingly none of them mentioned that this is just a draft list that this is not the final list," Shah added.
Shah clarified that only the names of those excluded from the list who failed to provide proof. "Only the names of those people have been excluded from the list, who have not been able to submit proof of their citizenship," Shah said.
Amit Shah, addressing a press conference after the Rajya Sabha witnessed tumultuous scenes over the Assam National Register of Citizens (NRC) issue, expressed surprise that 'no party mentioned that the list published on Monday is just a draft and not the final list'.
He further added that the 40 lakh people not included in the NRC draft is not the final figure because they can file their objections and cross-verification remains. Dismissing allegations that the names of Indian citizens have also been excluded, he said the only names that have been left out are those who could not prove their citizenship.
Shah hit out at the Congress, Trinamool Congress (TMC) and other political parties speaking against the NRC for 'not clarifying their stand on Bangladeshi infiltrators'. He said the Congress did not have the courage to oust the infiltrators, but the BJP's priority is to safeguard India's borders. For BJP, NRC is key to security of the country, he added.


I think each input can only except two keys/buttons.
So you'd have to keep binding keys to the same input until the ones you want become unbinded.
Yeah, I get that. But the underlying point is that they're implying there have been no changes and that we all are experiencing some placebo effect if we perceive there to be changes.
There have been adjustments, there is no question, that's my only point.

The discussions will explore the mythology and psychology of sports stereotypes and mascots and examine collegiate retirement of "Native American" sports references and some efforts to revive them despite the NCAA's policy against "hostile and abusive" names and symbols, according to the museum website.
"My role will be to present reflections on the mascot controversy," King said. » More …

It also resulted in the recruiting of a lecturer who will speak in collaboration with WSU's 2012 Common Reading Program in November.
C. Richard King, a professor in the Department of Critical Culture, Gender, and Race Studies, spent a month at CAHS conducting research and incorporating themes of the Holocaust and anti-Semitism into his WSU courses. » More …

Truck loaded with prizes, donations stolen in Troutdale
The truck was stolen early Saturday
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A truck stocked full raffle prizes from a company party and donations for charity was stolen in Troutdale Saturday morning. The truck's owner is now asking for the public's help in finding it.
Scott Brawner said his red Ford F250 was stolen early Saturday morning from the McMenamins Edgefield Hotel parking lot. It was packed with raffle items from his company's party, as well as donations collected for a local non-profit.
"I couldn't believe it wasn't there," said Brawner. "I was just sick to my stomach. I parked it in an area that I thought was the most secure. There was cameras in that parking lot. It's well lot. I backed it up against a tree so nobody could open up the canopy."
Among the prizes that were stolen: dozens of backpacks, a flat screen TV, and a BBQ. There were also drums filled with socks which were to be donated to the Bloomin' Boutique. The non-profit provides clothing, shows, bedding, and other personal care items to under-privileged children, according to the organization's website.
Brawner is also desperate to get his truck back—a vehicle that has been with him for 21 years.

"Both our boys, 19 and 21, grew up in this truck," said Brawner. "We have camped in it, slept in it, brought our puppies home in [it], and haul hay every year for our farm with it."
Brawner said anyone with information about where his truck and the raffle prizes are should contact the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office.
Brawner is now offering a $2500 reward for the return of the truck. The Tualatin Valley Firefighters Union, Local 1660 — Brawner is a retired firefighter — is working to organize a clothes drive to replace the donations in the truck that were stolen.
This story was corrected to clarify the stolen property involved.


Kingstowne Racing began in 2009, with the acquisition of a 1987 BMW 325is race car. In early 2010, driver, Krisjan Berzins attended an SCCA Competition Driving School at Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia. Together, with Jim Karamanis, of ELB Racing, and Crew Chief, Ralph Pagington, our season is off to a great start.
My friend Jim and I attended the 2010 SCCA Competition Driving School together. We had no idea what to expect. All I can say is, what an amazing experience! Both Jim and I agree that those 3 days were a life changing experience.
Owner of ELB Racing and my good friend, Jim Karamanis, drives a 1972 Ford Pinto race car. Talk about a wolf in sheep's clothing, this car really tuns heads on the track. Jim is responsible for getting Kingstowne to join the VRG (Vintage Racer Group). Wow...what an awesome group of drivers. After participating in the Historic Races @ BeaveRun, I have a new found respect for vintage racers. These guys are true gentlemen. Anyone looking for good clean racing without the big egos...should look into joining VRG.
Thank you for visiting us online. We hope to see you at the TRACK!!!

Keetley is a ghost town located in northeastern Wasatch County, Utah, United States.

Description
The town was located along the former routing of U.S. Route 40 (US‑40), north of the former town of Hailstone and east of Keetley Station. (Keetley Junction was further north along US‑40, at its junction with Utah State Route 248.)

History
The town began as a mining community, with a spur of the Union Pacific Railroad increasing the economic interest in the community for a short time. The village was submerged by the waters of Jordanelle Reservoir in 1995 along with Hailstone and Jordanelle.

The town began as a mining camp. Its first name was Camp Florence, for the first "lady" to visit the camp. It became a Pony Express station and a center for the area's mining and lumber industries. As it grew into a town, it was renamed for Jack Keetley, a Pony Express rider and local mining supervisor.

Keetley Agricultural Colony
During World War II Keetley was used as a 'voluntary' relocation camp for many Japanese-Americans. Fred Isamu Wada approached the mayor of Keetley, George Fisher, with the idea of leasing the land with the promise of bringing Japanese farm labor. While initial reaction was unfavorable, the fears were quickly allayed as it was shown that those relocating were not going to be a burden on the locals.

A large,  farm was established after much intense labor to clear the land of the ubiquitous rocks. While the women and children tended to chickens, pigs, and goats, the men went to work farming sugar beets.

The settlement lasted until the end of World War II when two-thirds returned to their homes in California and the rest scattered to other communities in Utah.

Modern development
Because of its proximity to Park City and the Jordanelle Reservoir, while the site of Keetley itself (along with the former towns of Hailstone and Jordanelle) is now completely submerged by the reservoir, the surrounding area is today the site of new construction, bringing in large resort-style home developments such as Hideout Canyon, Todd Hollow and Deer Mountain. In 2008 the town of Hideout was incorporated in this area.

Q: While destructuring an array, can the same element value be accessed more than once? Since PHP7.1, a foreach() expression can implement array destructuring as a way of unpacking row values and make individualized variable assignments.
When using array destructuring within a foreach() loop, can a specific value be accessed by its associative key more than once?
For example:
$array = [
    ['group' => 'A', 'name' => 'Ann', 'age' => 19],
    ['group' => 'B', 'name' => 'Bea', 'age' => 26],
    ['group' => 'A', 'name' => 'Cam', 'age' => 32],
    ['group' => 'B', 'name' => 'Des', 'age' => 24]
];

I know I can use:
foreach ($array as ['group' => $group, 'name' => $name, 'age' => $age]) {
    // do stuff with $group, $name, and $age
}

But what if I want to access, say, $group a second time while destructuring?  Is it possible?

A: It looks pretty unorthodox and there will be very few scenarios when it is useful, but yes it is possible/valid.
Just repeat the "key => value" syntax  again and provide a different variable in the value position.  In this context, the keys may be repeated.
Here is a demonstration of using array destructuring to "pivot" a result set with a body-less foreach loop.
Code: (Demo)
$array = [
    ['group' => 'A', 'name' => 'Ann', 'age' => 19],
    ['group' => 'B', 'name' => 'Bea', 'age' => 26],
    ['group' => 'A', 'name' => 'Cam', 'age' => 32],
    ['group' => 'B', 'name' => 'Des', 'age' => 24]
];

$result = [];
foreach ($array as ['group' => $group, 'group' => $result[$group]['group'], 'name' => $name, 'age' => $result[$group][$name]]);
# 1st assignment of group value^^^^^^
# 2nd assignment of group value-------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

var_export($result);

Output:
array (
  'A' =>
  array (
    'group' => 'A',
    'Ann' => 19,
    'Cam' => 32,
  ),
  'B' =>
  array (
    'group' => 'B',
    'Bea' => 26,
    'Des' => 24,
  ),
)

The same technique works outside of the context of a foreach() loop as well. (Demo)
['one' => $result[], 'one' => $result[]] = ['one' => 1];
var_export($result);

Output:
array (
  0 => 1,
  1 => 1,
)

START replacement treaty – why did it take so long?
Russia and the United States were supposed to sign a new strategic arms reduction treaty by the beginning of December. But it took four months longer to... 26.03.2010, Sputnik International

Russia and the United States were supposed to sign a new strategic arms reduction treaty by the beginning of December. But it took four months longer to negotiate it. It was announced Friday that the treaty will be signed in Prague on April 8. Why did it take so long to finalize the deal? How serious is Russia's concession to there being no binding clause that links missile defense and strategic nuclear weapons? Was the treaty worth the effort if it lowers the levels of strategic arms only minimally? These are the questions that the chief editor of RussiaProfile.org, Andrei Zolotov, Jr. discussed in the RIA Novosti studio with a Russian nuclear security expert Anton Khlopkov, director of the Center for Energy and Security Studies.

Cork A Trusty Haven 1963
Cork is a place with a long and varied history and citizens who are sure of themselves and the place of their city.
JJ Horgan, formerly Cork County Coroner, is typical of the Cork spirit and has much to say about his city. Horgan describes the historical background to Cork from the invasion of the Danes to the Normans and the Saxons. It was not until the middle of the nineteenth century that the native Irish gained control of Cork.
Dane and Norman and Gael are we,
We are all of us Gaels in our tribute to thee, Corcaigh.
Over the years Cork became famous for its patriotic activity and boasted the fact that it was known as the 'Rebel' county. In 1929 Cork lead the way with the passing of the first City Management Act, which was subsequently adopted by all other cities.
Horan also provides a brief history of the industrial life of the city from the tanneries, the breweries, and the distillery to the butter market and the spinning factory. The city also had the theatre and the old opera house.
The people of Cork, who are the fundamental fabric of our city were not very different from the descendants today. Then as now, they are kindly, hospitable, quick-witted, sharp-tongued, often superficial, easy to know but difficult to understand, and most irritatingly sure of themselves and of their city.
Cork has a long history of trading which has helped to shape its people.
This episode of 'Broadsheet' was broadcast on 4 February 1963. The narrator is Eddie Golden.
'Broadsheet' was a magazine style, nightly review of people and events introduced by John O'Donoghue and presented by the Broadsheet Unit.

I returned to gain the victory!
"I returned to gain the victory", the Azerbaijani grand master Vugar Hashimov said with a smile after his great victory on the 1st stage of the Baku 2008 Grand Prize which was held first time in the International Chess History. This great sound delight was not only about striking victory in chess, but also the triumph over the illness. After all, Vugar Hashimov was diagnosed medically in his childhood and was determined: There would not be any severe mental tension and chess contest.
Even that time – regardless of anything – the highly talented, yet still too young chess player made a descision to challenge with his life, telling words that have turned to be the motto of his short and more apparent life: "I do not imagine my life without a chess".
The name Vugar means Pride in the Azerbaijani language. He was the pride of the World and Azerbaijnai Chess, indeed.
Vugar Gasim Hashimov was born on July 24th, 1986 in Baku. He started to learn chess when he was 6 years old. "The willing to gain a victory comes from my father. He was a great fan of the board games. He had some winnings in the USSR Championship, particularly in chess organized among militants" – said, Vugar remembers.
Vugar was three-time national winner in the age groups: in 1995, 1996, and 1998 years. At the same time, he gained a vice-champion title four times between 1996-2000 years in the European Championship among teenagers.
He was the youngest international chess master in the World in 1998.
Vugar Hashimov made his name known when he won the great "Kasparov Cup" held among teenagers in Moscow, in 1999. That time Vugar was 13 years old. Most of his opponents were older than him about 2-3 years. That was a great advantage in the teenager time. The 13th World Champion made compliments for his play. He called Hashimov a correct standing chess player who has a perfect tactical move.
Soon it was known that, the teenager is seriously ill. Unfortunately, due to his serious health problems, Vugar had to leave off chess for a long time. Vugar had been operated in his brain several times. For a while, the illness drew back. The strong will power, ambition to play again and win made Vugar turn to the Chess World once again.
His return in 2005 was victorious. He defeated the Acropol Open, being strong in terms of the staff, in Athens. He won with his prominent team, defeating 19 grand masters in Abu-Dhabi, in 2006.
Vugar was playing much and with a great pleasure replacing the gone time. He attended to the team championships organized in various countries, gained the championship in the Croatian, Turkish, Romanian, Iranian, Spanish, and Moldavian clubs. He was the winner of the Cappelle Grand Open Tournament held in France, in February 2008.
April of the same year, the 1st stage of the FİDE Grand Prize, holding the first time in Baku, was organized. Vugar won Carlsen and Van Xao passing ahead of them in terms of additional indicators. Soon, the rating of Vugar Hashimov passed 2750, and he was included to the top 10 maintaing the 6th place in the score table.
Once he was asked that, Vugar, could you please tell which part do you think utmost best? Which move do you remember in your experience?". He answers: "Good ones are a lot; the move would be probably `Corel e6! ` Thanks to this move, Azerbaijan won the European Championship first time in the team history." The first victory of the Azerbaijani National Team in the European Championship on team chess, organized in Novi Sad in 2009, is related exactly to the Vugar Hashimov`s name. In the last stage, defeating only the Netherlands National Team would be profitable. However, 3 out of 4 parts were draw. Vugar was practically in a draw position with the Dutch Daniel Stellvagen. Nevertheless, our prominent grand master could successfully change his position to win, and he won the first gold medal of the Azerbaijani history.
Next several years were the evidence that, Vugar is able to compete equally and defeat the strongest chess players in the world. He shared the first stage with Poykovskiy and was in the fourth place in The Grand Prize hold in Elista, and he was in the third place in Gibraltar Grand Prize. He went twice through to the ¼ final successively in the World Cup organized in Hanti Mansijsk in 2009 and 2011. He gained the perfect victory in the tournament of the Reggio Emila.
Vugar went to the next European Team Championship held in Greece in order to maintain the European Championship titles, within the Azerbaijani National Team in 2011. In a game against France, suddenly, Vugar got high pressured, and he could not continue the game. According to the agreement between two teams, the draw in the game had been reported. Nonetheless, the main point was the health of Hashimov. The Capitan if the team, Tukmakov did not want to allow Vugar to participate in the upcoming games. However, he heard this kind answer of Vugar: "No, what are you talking about?! I will play till the end!" Vugar felt himself normal to complete the tournament till the end, and he won more two games. Ultimately, our National Team won the silver medal. Hence, thanks to his professionality and strong will power, Azerbaijan marked its name permanently and indelible to the World Chess History.
Vugar was the silver and bronze medal holder in the Rapid and Blitz forms of Chess, with performing well in the Intellectual Games held in Beijing, in 2011. He played last time in the tournament held in Wijk Aan Zee, in 2012. After all these tournaments, Hashimov terminated his participating in the games, and he commenced to continue his treatment.
The Young Azerbaijani National Team would be the gold winner, if we are going to take into consideration of the rating, claims and opinions of the participants during the International Chess Olympic held in 2012. All the people were expecting to see Vugar come back. Unfortunately, it has not happened.
His partners, participating in the Azerbaijani National Team won the second time European Team Championship in 2013, and they devoted this victory to Vugar Hashimov.
The World Chess faced with a big and painful loss on January 11th, 2014. Vugar passed away in the hospital of Heidelberg city, Germany. Thousands of people, citizens came to see off him last time. Vugar Hashimov was consigned with a deep respectfulness to the 3rd Honorary Alley in Baku.
Vugar Hashimov lived only 27 years. Even if, he succeeded to perform his keen talent to chess and achieve great victories during his not too long life. Vugar was sensible, frank, genius, and having sophisticated education friend and friend. He is memorized as a silent boy having strong nerves by his fans, experts, and partners, as well. Exactly this character of Vugar helped him to be successful in this ancient game.
The Chess Academy named after Vugar Hashimov was opened ceremonially on October 1st, 2016.
Azerbaijani always commemorate his hero. "The Memorial of Vugar Hashimov" has been holding with participation of the world leading grand masters in Shamkir since 2014.

Gospel Lee
No one has ever laid out a roadmap to a successful music career in today's world as Ari has in his book. Covering things like proper etiquette when emailing promoters to getting your songs placed in film and TV, Ari expedites the sometimes tedious process of learning what it takes to be a professional musician. If you want to take your career seriously, read this book.
Andrew Leib
There are a lot of books that attempt to describe how to make and do 'it' in the music business. What sets Ari apart is his not only his insatiable curiosity, research and conclusions but also the fact that he is a musician that has actually done the very 'it' he writes about. Reading Ari's book teaches you what the music industry actually is, not what others think it should be.
Jeff Price
There are few careers more difficult than being a professional musician, but How to Make It in the New Music Business will absolutely increase your chances of success. Ari Herstand is a fresh, emerging authority on a music industry that is just taking shape, and a fearless tour guide in a brand-new jungle. I highly recommend this for your music career.
Paul Resnikoff
Ari Herstand is a leader in the DIY music movement and has written the perfect recipe for success.
Patti Silverman
There is a great divide between what the young musician thinks being a rock star is and what actually working as a musician entails. Ari fills in the blanks with his lighthearted yet blunt demeanor. He's the informed older brother most of us never got in this crazy, confusing industry.
The best 'how to' book of its kind. As a working artist himself, Herstand knows of what he speaks.... The book crackles with the actual experience of being a working artist. Highly recommended.
Ari understands this space. He gives a tremendous amount of information. Anyone wanting to make music for a living should read this, period.
Peter Hollens
Incredibly valuable. Not just for musicians, but for entrepreneurs and anyone else wanting to succeed in the music business. Ari has written the ultimate guide on how to make it in the music business. Incredibly detailed yet fun to read, this is the book that generations of musicians will rely on to build their careers.
Philip Kaplan

Jack Conte
This is the single best book on the current music business. An absolute must-read for every musician.
Derek Sivers
An indispensable and comprehensive manual on how to navigate the modern music business.
This is a book that not only should every musician read, but this is a book that should remain on your desk by your computer at all times. This is the definitive book for independent musicians.
Wade Sutton
Ari is the first person I turn to for advice on anything music business related. It's especially wonderful because his advice is coming from a place of actual experience. He's living it.
chart-topping artist vox
Every time Ari Herstand writes about a topic in the music industry, he absolutely nails it. Plus, being a full-time musician himself, his insights are that much more valuable to aspiring artists. Couldn't recommend this book highly enough.
At a time when everyone is complaining about how the music industry is not supporting artists, Ari offers hope in the form of practical, usable advice. I know that his DIY-with-a-team approach works, because he, like hundreds of others who follow a similar path, are living their dreams as working musicians.
Bruce Houghton
Ari Herstand tackles the complexities of the music business in a way that any indie artist or songwriter can understand. He's got deep sympathy for music creators who want to make a living from their art—and a ton of practical advice on how to do it.

A new opera by Evan Ziporyn based on Colin McPhee's memoir A House in Bali is being premiered on September 26 & 27th at the University of California, Berkeley. Richard Friedman has more details. You can read about McPhee, who was an early pioneer of minimalism and who recorded piano transciption of Balinese ceremonial music with Benjamin Britten, in my 2007 article Colin McPhee - East meets West.
Thanks for picking up this posting. It is ironic that now, some 45 years after his death, McPhee's complicated life becomes itself the subject of an opera.
We all look forward to this event! Could it become the "South Pacific" of new music? Stay tuned.
Meantime, there is also a radio portrait of the composer that Charles Amirkhanian did for KPFA radio 1980 on the RadiOM.org website.


I'm a member of Helmet and I've been told that some of the libraries hire out power tools. I've been onto the database and my local library doesn't provide this service and I was wondering which of the libraries do. Unfortunately, I was struggling to find this information on the website.
In particular, I'm looking at hiring an electric sander. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
You can find all the tools and other objects provided by the Helmet libraries using the Helmet search https://haku.helmet.fi/iii/encore/?lang=eng . The problem for you here might be that all library materials, objects included, are catalogued in the Helmet database in Finnish. If you use the Helmet search for finding objects, choose Advanced search, type * (i.e. one asterisk, meaning "all") in the search field, and choose "Object" from the dropdown menu for Format. This is the search result you will get: https://haku.helmet.fi/iii/encore/search/C__S%28*%29%20f%3Aq__Orightresult__U?lang=eng&suite=cobalt . In this list there are all the objects for borrowing from Helmet libraries.
Thus, it seems that the tools you are looking for could be found in Tapiola and Iso Omena libraries in Espoo.
Can I return a book loan from Vuosaari library to an other library in Helsinki (ex: Itäkeskus or Herttoniemi)? Thank you.
Could you please guide me which children and adult library is the nearest to Roninmeantie.

The waters and shorelines of the Virginia Chesapeake Bay present a prime example of multiple uses by constituents with widely varying commercial, recreational and cultural interests. Historically, commercial fishing, especially of oysters, dominated the activity throughout the tidal areas of the Bay. For decades, communities developed along shorelines to take advantage of productive public and private (leased) oyster grounds, and to harvest other economically important species. With the introduction of oyster diseases in the late 1950s, oyster harvests began to collapse and continued to decline through several consecutive decades. Nearshore properties that had been associated with commercial fishing were abandoned and sold to other user groups. The numbers of new residents increased along the shore and many diverse activities replaced commercial fishing. Concurrently, efforts to increase oyster populations and oyster production on both public and private grounds has remained a baywide focus of federal, state and local entities, and over the past decade there has been a substantial improvement in oyster production on public grounds, but most especially on private grounds. The most rapid expansion has been in hatchery-based production of cage-cultured oysters on private grounds. Conflicts have arisen between new user groups residing along the bay shore, and a growing industry that works primarily in nearshore waters. Additionally, as the shoreline has been developed, there are very limited access points along the waterfront where commercial activity can occur. The focus of the proposed effort is to characterize the oyster industry as it exists today, examine the regulatory and economic framework that resulted in its recent growth, identify issues that will likely impact future expansion, and suggest pathways for supporting growth of the oyster industry into the future. Specifically, we will address (1) current and future productivity of public oyster grounds given their dependency on limited (both in quantity and future availability) shell resources for habitat and replenishment; (2) current and future productivity of private lease grounds including estimates of unproductive area; and (3) current and future productivity of intensive, hatchery dependent oyster aquaculture including limits to and opportunities for future expansion. All will be examined in context of current regulatory and statutory impediments to multiple uses by other commercial, recreational and cultural/economic interests. We propose a 3-year effort with production of a review of current industry status (year 1), short term opportunities and challenges in the 5-10 year time frame (year 2), and longer-term (post 2025) opportunities and challenges (year 3). These are outlined below as sequential deliverables.
The focus of this project is to characterize the oyster industry as it exists today, examine the regulatory and economic framework that resulted in its recent growth, identify issues that will likely impact future expansion, and suggest pathways for supporting growth of the oyster industry into the future. Specifically, the project addresses (1) current and future productivity of public oyster grounds given their dependency on limited (both in quantity and future availability) shell resources for habitat and replenishment; (2) current and future productivity of private lease grounds including estimates of unproductive area; and (3) current and future productivity of intensive, hatchery dependent oyster aquaculture including limits to and opportunities for future expansion.
Critical findings from Year 1 of this 3 year study mapped and quantified the areas suitable for future shell production and restoration based on stock assessments, replenishment and monitoring studies. These results present a mechanism for Virginia to move forward and target where restoration efforts should be focused given the limited supply of shell.
The results from this year also revealed that within the private fishery, active aquaculture is only occurring on about 34% of all leased bottom. This statistic was computed after reviewing mandatory harvest reporting records between 2013 and 2017. The relatively low cost of leasing grounds combined with minimal harvest requirements and lack of enforcement contributes to a growing problem of lease inactivity within the Commonwealth's subaqueous bottom. This, in turn, contributes to the absence of subaqueous bottom available to support the industry's growth.
Finally, year 1 began examining the most notable conflicts associated with aquaculture in nearshore waters. The study finds that SAV coexists with intensive aquaculture frequently, and that more than 40% of all leases reporting harvesting have SAV present on them. Additional study is needed to assess the historic trends in SAV presence or absence with respect to private leasing and harvest reporting.


Minors require 15-18 hours of selected coursework in a specific field of study. The minor designation appears on a student's transcript but not their diploma, and once declared, becomes part of the student's graduation requirements. Students can choose up to two minors, but they must be declared before the graduating semester.
Almost 100 minors are offered through the various colleges at Texas A&M University. A complete list of available minors (85K PDF) can be downloaded from the Office of the Registrar website.
The Department of Architecture offers a minor in Art & Architectural History, Sustainable Architecture and Planning, Architectural Fabrication and Product Design and Architectural Heritage Conservation. Students must receive signed approval from the department academic advisor. Application is then made in the student's home college or major department.

Q: Prove a nonzero ring is not a group. Prove that a nonzero ring R is not a group under multiplication. [Hint: what is the inverse of 0?]
I know that if R is a nonzero ring the for x,y in R xy=0 means either x=0 or y=0 and when x is not = 0 there is an x^-1 so that xx^-1=1. Also, with the hint I know that 0r doesn't have an inverse but I'm not sure how to correctly show this.

A: Assuming the ring has two distinct elements, try to show absorption and cancellation cannot coexist.

*

*Absorption is when there is an absorbing element $0$, where $0a=0$ for all $a$.

*Cancellation is when $ab=ac\Rightarrow b=c$ (left) or $ba=ca\Rightarrow b=c$ (right).

Rings have absorption and groups have cancellation.

A: Let $(R, +, \cdot)$ be ring, with additive identity $0$ and multiplicative identity $1$. Suppose $(R, \cdot)$ is a group. Then $0$ has a multiplicative inverse, which we will denote by  $0^{-1}$. Let $x \in R$. We know $x \cdot 0 = 0$ for any $x \in R$, so
\begin{align*}
0 \cdot 0 = 0 &\implies 0^{-1} \cdot (0 \cdot 0) = 0^{-1} \cdot 0\\
&\implies (0^{-1} \cdot 0) \cdot 0 = 0^{-1} \cdot 0\\
&\implies 1 \cdot 0 = 1\\
&\implies 0 = 1
\end{align*}
which implies that $R$ is trivial since for any $x \in R$, $$x = 1 \cdot x = 0 \cdot x = 0.$$
