The Avayalik Islands are a group of islands located in the Northern Atlantic Ocean, within the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. They consist of two main islands, and at least seven smaller landmasses. It was first visited by archaeologists in 1967, when a team led by Patrick Plumet arrived for the first archaeological expedition.

History
The Avayalik islands were likely settled by the Middle Dorset people in the 5th to 7th centuries AD. Archaeological studies found several structures, including a winter house roughly 3–4 meters on each side, with a 3-4 meter long entrance tunnel, built during the same period.

Organ-on-chip for the analysis of drug effects - 20/07/2022
New 3D cell platform allows continuous metabolic monitoring
Organ-on-chips systems are systems containing miniature tissues grown inside mircrofluidic chips. By integrating microsensors, researchers at the IMTEK Freiburg, together with the RWTH Aachen University Hospital, created a novel variant that allows the measurement of metabolic activity directly on site and in real time. This enables the rapid and detailed analysis of drug effects outside an organism.

Plasticizers can cause asthma and allergies
Plastic products can be found everywhere in daily life, soft plastic in particular often being used for packaging or children's toys. These often contain so-called plasticizers which ensure that the material remains flexible. Because plasticizers are not bonded permanently to the plastic, they can escape from the material, meaning they can be absorbed by humans.

Disordered brain activity in Rolandic epilepsy can be influenced by brief sounds during sleep
Rolandic epilepsy is a common form of epilepsy in children which occurs primarily during sleep. Short sounds played during sleep can partially suppress the neuronal discharges characteristic of epilepsy. That's according to a research team from the University of Tübingen and Tübingen University Hospitals. The team is headed by Dr. Hong-Viet Ngo and Professor Jan Born from the Institute of Medical Psychology and Behavioral Neurobiology.

Thanks to recent progress, Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) is becoming the norm in many countries, and the significant increase of bandwidth allows the emergence of new services and technologies. Tactile internet, telemedicine and real-time 3-D content generation are now realistic and probably represent the onset of the next wave of innovation.
Nevertheless, to support such an unprecedented and insatiable demand of data traffic, higher security, flexible bandwidth allocation and cost-efficiency have become crucial requirements for technologies candidate for next generation optical access networks.
In the frame of a co-tutelle between VUB B-PHOT and University of São Paolo (USP), Thiago Raddo has recently presented his doctoral thesis with highest honors, shaping the future optical network.
He developed at USP new networking solutions based on Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) to employ network resources in a flexible way. The new mathematical formalisms allow to assess the performance of flexible OCDMA networks capable of providing multiservice and multirate transmissions. His work therefore significantly simplified the arduous task of dimensioning flexible networks. At VUB, Thiago focused on security issues and proposed an innovative approach to generate chaos from a solitary laser diode. Simply using mechanical strain, he showed that standard Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) can generate chaotic polarization fluctuations.
The simplicity of the approach makes optical chaos widely accessible in a compact and efficient system, hence paving the way toward new security platforms in optical access networks and for a large variety of chaos-based solutions such as cryptography and large-scale quantum networks.


Laura Thomas and Matthew Tansley say they "burst out laughing" when they spotted the resemblance their little Lucas Tansley had to an alien from the film "Mars Attacks!" The couple was left stunned when an MRI scan appeared to show their unborn son looks exactly like an angry Martian from the cult classic. Laura, 26, is only now sharing the scan after doctors gave the boy, now 11 months old, a clean bill of health. InsideEdition.com's Keleigh Nealon has more.

Wyke Regis Training Area is an army training area primarily located in the parish and town of Chickerell, but near to the parish of Wyke Regis in neighbouring Weymouth, Dorset, England. The training area is located at three different sites. It is part of the Ministry of Defence's Defence Training Estate (DTE), which covers 240,000 hectares of land across the country, used to train armed forces. Although mainly used by the army, the training area has allowed an increasing amount of public use of both the climbing facilities and adventure training over the last few years.
When the firing range is in use, signs, restriction gates and red flags are used to require walkers to divert inland around the back of the range before returning to the Coastal Path.

Sites

Consisting of the three sites, the main location is found to the west of the Wyke Regis village, where it lies on the north side of the Fleet tidal lagoon with Chesil Beach on the south side. This site, a bridging camp, was constructed in 1928 by Royal Engineers. Since then, the site has been in continuous use for Royal Engineers' (regular and reserve) training in the construction of both bridges and ferries, along with other types of military training. The Bridging Camp's inner training area allows Sappers to hone their skills on everything from raft building to familiarisation with modern weaponry. Due to the close proximity of the lagoon, water based training is held there.

A second site, a camp and rifle range, is located within the town and parish Chickerell which is located further up the Fleet Lagoon, and like the main bridging camp, it sites alongside the lagoon and beach. The site features an 8-lane small-arms rifle range, and is used for basic fieldcraft and patrolling exercises, along with marksmanship training. It also offers unique facilities for cadets. The range is typically used for 150 days per year and once held active sentries that were posted during live use to police the footpaths and offshore.

The third site of the Wyke Regis Training Area is located at Verne Yeates on the Isle of Portland, close to the Verne Citadel, and is used for bridging and signals training.

History
The bridging camp was established at the Fleet narrows of Chesil Beach on 1 May 1928, losses of equipment through storms at annual bridging camps up to 1927 at Mudeford, near Christchurch. In the following years the camp was erected by the first unit in and struck by the last unit out. In 1938 the site was used by the Militia, and it continued as a training area during the Second World War, which included a period of use by the RAF as a base for some of their 'Dambusters' trials for the Bouncing bomb.

During 1945-49, the 9 Trg Bn Royal Engineers, who were based at the Verne Citadel on Portland, used the camp for some time before moving to the nearby Barrow Rise Camp as their headquarters after POWs redeveloped the Wyke Regis site. Territorial Army units used the site during 1947 and then each summer from 1950 onwards. After the first permanent Camp Commandant took over in 1954, Southern Command Bridging Camp Royal Engineers was one of four such units in the UK. In October 1956 the 37 Armoured Engineer Squadron used the site as part of their continued training, partaking in atomic simulation, HGB builds and a 288 ft class 30 EWBPS build, bridge demolitions and work on the Kings Ferry. One month later and the squadron deployed to Malta and then took part in the Suez operations in 1956. The camp was upgraded from 1960 to 1963, and as a result facilities were much improved with more permanent buildings.

By the mid-1960s, the camp saw more use of amphibious vehicles and less of floating bridges. Shortly after the Royal Engineers Bridging Camp of Wyke Regis was the only one left in the UK. In 1973 the Chickerell Camp and Range were taken over, and this providing extra hutted accommodation for use in both summer and winter. As a celebration of the broadening of the training facilities to include other Combat Engineer subjects besides bridging, the unit was renamed The Royal Engineers Training Camp on the camp's 50th anniversary in 1978.

In 1983, to mark the 55-year association, the Freedom of the Borough of Weymouth and Portland was granted to the Corps of Royal Engineers. The event was marked with a parade and, ten years later, in September 1993, 22 Engineer Regiment again exercised their right to march through the town with 'bayonets fixed and drums beating' to celebrate this singular honour. In 1999 Wyke Regis Training Area came under command of Army Training Estates as part of ATE SW, before command transferred to Defence in April 2006.

In August 2011, the bridging camp was opened to the public for one day as visitors were given a tour, and various presentations and demonstrations.

CAB sponsors event, coffee and live music draw crowd
Home » Entertainment News » CAB sponsors event, coffee and live music draw crowd
Posted By The Bells Staff on Mar 31, 2009
By Russell Dotson
Texas Java opened its doors for more than 200 students March 3 for an event hosted by the Campus Activities Board.
This small-town coffee shop has progressively become the local student hotspot for studying and social networking, so it was only a matter of time before student organizations began to bridge the gap between campus and students' favorite caffeine dive.
Jeff Sutton, assistant director of campus activities, organized the event with Jennifer Larkin, a junior history major, who serves as the executive board member over logistics.
"We had a lot of students say they wanted to do coffee house events," Sutton said. "They like music, and they like free stuff."
So CAB came up with an idea.
"We tried combining as many things as we could, passed out free drinks, and had live student musicians, and then we were able to pass out some surveys to find out what students would like to do next year."
Once students filled out the survey, they got a ticket that was good for any drink in any size.
"The surveys gave us vital information, helping us know what events students have gone to and what events they liked, and what they have heard about from other places that they would like to bring here," Sutton said.
The first musicians to hit the stage were Ryan Chandler and Jacob Campsey, who call themselves Two Guys and Two Guitars.
After Chandler and Campsey were Alison Hankins, Mark Rojas, Jonathan Dean, Abbey Smith and Megan McCuscy.
"Jeff and I wanted an easy, low-key event," Larkin said. "It was a great opportunity to get feedback on CAB that we might not necessarily have gotten on campus."
Larkin is one of three executive board members working with CAB.
"I plan events, make sure they go well and make sure that if any problems come up, I can deal with them," she said. "I also take event ideas and make them a reality."
Larkin and the other two board members meet throughout the week, assisting with the planning and oversight of events. They work closely with 30 other students who volunteer their time and services.
Mara Prindle is a freshman who works with CAB.
"At the meetings, we talk about the upcoming events and volunteer to help with them. Each event has to have a chairperson. I served as the chair for Ladies Night and Preview Weekend last semester," she said.
For the Texas Java event, she handed out flyers in Johnson where she lives.
Last semester, the Beltonian, Belton's dinner-and-a-movie movie theatre, started offering UMHB students a free movie pass on Thursday nights.
Sutton said that was during the preliminary phase of CAB's communication with the Beltonian.
"We have heard students say they want more to do on the weekends, want more options. The Beltonian shows movies all day on Saturdays, giving students something to do that is free," he said.
Students can pick up a free ticket in their office in the SUB or show their student ID at the theater.
"Our goal is to provide UMHB students an atmosphere where they can have a good time and network with their peers," Sutton said. "We do one CAB event during the week and one on the weekend."
The students who work with the group frequently call after they graduate, thanking Sutton for the opportunities they were given.
"They chair events, figure out how to use the budget, what supplies they need, how to advertise," Sutton said. "It's a great opportunity for students to learn things they won't necessarily get in a classroom but they can definitely use in real life."

Painting the High Seas
From the romantic era forward, the sea has been a constant subject for the painter and Scotland with its long and extraordinarily varied coastline and islands has been inspirational. Thomson of Duddingston's Fast Castle, the human drama of fishing boat, storm and harbour by Sam Bough and much of the huge oeuvre of William McTaggart supply examples of European significance. The latter at Machrihanish or Carnoustie, the Forth Estuary or Carradale was wholly committed toplein air painting before the Impressionists, his historical narrative secondary to the ever-changing subject, benign or terrible.
In the last century Peploe and Cadell's work in Argyll and Iona in particular, has left us a body of work now part of our national identity. Click here to watch Guy Peploe and Michael Palin discuss how Iona inspired them.
Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell RSA, RSW (1883-1937) Traigh Geal, Erraid, Argyll, c.1925, Sold to Private Collection, 2018
This is the only known work by Cadell of the Island of Erraid, a mile or so down the coast of Mull from Iona. The subject is Davy Balfour bay and the view south towards thePaps of Jura. The bay derived its modern name from Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Kidnapped when the eponymous hero is shipwrecked on Erraid, swimming ashore after his captor's ship strikes the Torran Rocks. The author had spent some summer months on the island aged nineteen when the family engineering firm were beginning the construction of the Dubh Artach lighthouse with granite quarried on the island and taken out on barges, but perhaps he was dreaming of becoming a writer and the adventures ahead.

Ross Ryan
Many contemporary painters see the world with a weather eye, Ross Ryan quite literally from the deck of his boat Sgarbh, his floating home and studio, each location a risk assessment of the sublime.

During the winter I painted from the shore, recording the sea in all her anger. Here is a force that could move a beach overnight and flick rocks like unwanted peas. Many of my paintings are from when the pressure dropped, started and completed in the one sitting. Not all of them made it.

David Cass
David Cass's most recent exhibition explored the abstract notion of a rising horizon, using beautifully painted seascapes as vehicles to explore themes of global warming and sea rise. Paintings appeared on diverse surfaces such as metal signs, antique tins, a copper boiler and re-formed plastic-waste panels (commissioned by the artist, containing thousands of compressed items of plastic food and drink waste packaging).

Cass has been in thrall to the wonder and beauty of the sea for as long as he can remember and since he has looked with an artist's eye - to enhance, edit and interpret – he has been struck by the conundrum of the horizon.

Matthew Draper
Matthew Draper's extraordinary sunburst pastels are derived from regular road trips to Skye forming the truthful crux of his 2019 exhibition.
Matthew Draper, And the Deluge Begins, 2019, pastel on paper, 88 cm x 155 cm, £9,950
The body of work made for Sound of Raasay is the result of numerous visits to the Isle of Skye. My fascination with the Island started some 23 years ago when I first moved to Scotland. It was the same year the Skye Bridge was opened. For some, the bridge was a controversial scheme but, nevertheless, it offered ease of access to the Island and meant that, on my first tentative trip exploring the West Coast of Scotland, it was relatively easy to make an unplanned extension to my journey. For the first time I experienced the rugged, dramatic and varied landscape of this unique Island and regular trips have occurred year on year allowing me to further explore that particular wilderness. Although there are several areas of the Island that I regularly visit, I always make sure that on every trip I visit the Eastern side and in particular, drive the coast road north of Portree and beyond the Storr. It's from here that you travel up the length of the Sound, with views of the Islands of Raasay and Rona, beyond which are the mountain ranges of Torridon and the mainland. Looking south whilst undertaking this journey also provides spectacular views of the Red Cuillin. With the variety of potential subjects or compositions that this landscape provides and the endless possible vantage points to view the Sound, I knew this relatively small area of the highlands would provide me with more than enough inspiration to make an entire exhibition.

Kate Downie
Another romantic vision carried on from Eardley to Sylvia Wishart to Kate Downie comes from deep familiarity and respect, the coast at once a limit and the point of jumping-off, the marches of the limitless.

During the stormy months of February and March of 2018, I visited the island of Iona and the Ardnamurchan Peninsula to make initial studies towards the completion of large watercolours.

Chondrilla  L. 1753 è un genere di piante angiosperme dicotiledoni della famiglia delle Asteraceae.

Etimologia
Il nome del genere (Chondrilla) deriva dal nome greco di indivia o cicoria (le piante di questo genere sono molto simili alla cicoria)

Il nome scientifico del genere è stato proposto da Carl von Linné (1707 – 1778) biologo e scrittore svedese, considerato il padre della moderna classificazione scientifica degli organismi viventi, nella pubblicazione "Species Plantarum" (Sp. Pl. 2: 796) del 1753.

Descrizione

Habitus. La forma biologica prevalente delle specie del genere è emicriptofita scaposa (H scap), ossia sono piante erbacee, a ciclo biologico perenne (in qualche caso bienne), con gemme svernanti al livello del suolo e protette dalla lettiera o dalla neve e sono dotate di un asse fiorale eretto e spesso privo di foglie. Possono essere presenti (ma raramente) anche specie a ciclo biologico annuo. Alcune di queste piante sono considerate "erbe aromatiche". In genere queste piante hanno un fogliame ridotto.

Radici. Le radici sono dei fittoni; possono essere legnose e ramificate all'apice.

Fusto. La parte aerea del fusto è eretta e in genere liscia e glabra nella parte distale, mentre è setolosa nella parte basale. La ramosità si sviluppa nella parte superiore della pianta. Una pianta può avere fino a 6 gambi. Queste piante possono arrivare fino a 15 dm di altezza.

Foglie. Le foglie si dividono in basali e cauline e lungo il caule sono disposte in modo alterno. Quelle basali sono disposte in rosette (ma non sempre) con lamina a forma da oblanceolata a spatulata e bordi grossolanamente dentati; la superficie può essere glabra o con semplici setole, o aracnoide-pelosa o tomentosa. Sono presenti anche lamine a forma pennatifida (spesso roncinate). Le foglie cauline hanno una forma lineare e sono progressivamente più ridotte. Le foglie basali sono picciolate, spesso con picciolo alato.

Infiorescenza. Le infiorescenze sono composte da diversi capolini peduncolati formanti corimbi lassi, oppure raccolti in fascetti di 2 - 4 all'ascella delle foglie superiori. I capolini sono formati da un involucro a forma strettamente cilindrica composto da brattee (o squame) all'interno delle quali un ricettacolo fa da base ai fiori tutti ligulati. Le squame divise in due serie si distinguono in superiori e inferiori: quelle inferiori (3 - 4) hanno una forma ovata e si trovano alla base dell'involucro e formano una specie di calice e sono lunghe 1/4 di quelle più interne; quelle superiori (5 - 9) sono più interne ed hanno una forma lineare; la superficie può essere glabra, aracnoide-pelosa o con semplici setole. Il ricettacolo è privo di pagliette a protezione della base dei fiori. Diametro dell'involucro: 2,5 – 5 mm.

Fiori. I fiori (da 7 a 15 per capolino) sono tutti del tipo ligulato (il tipo tubuloso, i fiori del disco, presente nella maggioranza delle Asteraceae, qui è assente), sono tetra-ciclici (ossia sono presenti 4 verticilli: calice – corolla – androceo – gineceo) e pentameri (ogni verticillo ha 5 elementi). I fiori sono ermafroditi e zigomorfi.

 Formula fiorale:
 */x K , [C (5), A (5)], G 2 (infero), achenio

 Calice: i sepali del calice sono ridotti ad una coroncina di squame.

 Corolla: le corolle sono formate da una ligula terminante con 5 denti;  il colore è giallo; lunghezza della ligula: 10 – 14 mm.

 Androceo: gli stami sono 5 con filamenti liberi, mentre le antere sono saldate in un manicotto (o tubo) circondante lo stilo. Le antere sono gialle e prive di codette e alla base sono acute. Il polline è tricolporato.

 Gineceo: lo stilo è filiforme con peli sul lato inferiore degli stigmi; gli stigmi dello stilo sono due divergenti. L'ovario è infero uniloculare formato da 2 carpelli.

Frutti. I frutti sono degli acheni con pappo. L'achenio colorato dal marrone al nero, ha una forma simile ad una navicella (cimbiforme) con un rostro e un prolungamento (becco filiforme) alla base del quale sono presenti alcuni dentelli che formano una coroncina. La superficie è costata (5 nervature principali con ognuna 3 costole secondarie) longitudinalmente e verso la base gli acheni sono ristretti. Il pappo, bianco, è formato da 40 - 50 setole nivee disposte su una sola serie.

Biologia
 Impollinazione: l'impollinazione avviene tramite insetti (impollinazione entomogama tramite farfalle diurne e notturne).
 Riproduzione: la fecondazione avviene fondamentalmente tramite l'impollinazione dei fiori (vedi sopra).
 Dispersione: i semi (gli acheni) cadendo a terra sono successivamente dispersi soprattutto da insetti tipo formiche (disseminazione mirmecoria). In questo tipo di piante avviene anche un altro tipo di dispersione: zoocoria. Infatti gli uncini delle brattee dell'involucro si agganciano ai peli degli animali di passaggio disperdendo così anche su lunghe distanze i semi della pianta.

Distribuzione
Questo genere è di origine eurasiatica (regione del Mediterraneo orientale - Asia sudoccidentale). Una specie, Chondrilla juncea è presente in America; probabilmente introdotta. In Europa si trova comunemente dal Portogallo alla Russia (escluse le Isole Britanniche e la Penisola scandinava). Si trova inoltre in Transcaucasia, Anatolia, Asia minore e Africa mediterranea.

Sistematica
La famiglia di appartenenza di questa voce (Asteraceae o Compositae, nomen conservandum) probabilmente originaria del Sud America, è la più numerosa del mondo vegetale, comprende oltre 23.000 specie distribuite su 1.535 generi, oppure 22.750 specie e 1.530 generi secondo altre fonti (una delle checklist più aggiornata elenca fino a 1.679 generi). La famiglia attualmente (2021) è divisa in 16 sottofamiglie.

Il genere Chondrilla comprende una trentina di specie, due delle quali sono presenti sul territorio italiano.

Filogenesi
Il genere di questa voce appartiene alla sottotribù Chondrillinae della tribù Cichorieae (unica tribù della sottofamiglia Cichorioideae). In base ai dati filogenetici la sottofamiglia Cichorioideae è il terz'ultimo gruppo che si è separato dal nucleo delle Asteraceae (gli ultimi due sono Corymbioideae e Asteroideae). La sottotribù Chondrillinae fa parte del "quarto" clade della tribù; in questo clade è in posizione "centrale" vicina alle sottotribù Crepidinae (insieme formano un "gruppo fratello").

La sottotribù è formata da tre generi: Chondrilla, Willemetia e Phitosia dalle cui analisi molecolari risulta essere un clade ben supportato. All'interno della sottotribù il genere Chondrilla con il genere Willemetia formano un "gruppo fratello", mentre il genere Phitosia è in una posizione più "basale". In precedenti studi i tre generi inclusi sono stati generalmente trattati come membri della sottotribù Crepidinae.

Il genere risulta diviso in due cladi principali, uno comprendente C. chondrilloides (endemico delle Alpi) e C. urumoffii (distribuito nella penisola Balcanica: l'altro clade comprende la specie C. juncea e tutte le altre specie europee e asiatiche.

I caratteri distintivi per le specie di questo genere sono:
 il fogliame di queste piante è ridotto;
 la forma delle foglie in genere è strettamente lineare;
 i capolini sono pauciflori (da 7 a 15 fiori per capolino);
 gl'involucri hanno una o due serie di brattee;
 gli acheni sono sia omomorfi che eteromorfi;
 gli acheni sono prolungati in un becco alla cui base sono presenti alcuni dentelli.

Il numero cromosomico delle specie di questo genere è 2n = 10, 14 e 15 (specie diploidi, triploidi e tetraploidi).

In alcune checklist è indicato un diverso Autore: Chondrilla (Tourn.) Tourn. ex L.

Specie spontanee italiane
Le due specie presenti sul territorio italiano differiscono per i seguenti caratteri:

 Chondrilla chondrilloides (Ard.) Karsten - Lattugaccio dei torrenti: l'infiorescenza è formata da capolini peduncolati e raccolti in corimbi; le foglie inferiori sono persistenti alla fioritura; l'altezza delle piante varia da 0,5 a 3,5 dm; il ciclo biologico è perenne; la forma biologica è emicriptofita scaposa (H scap); il tipo corologico è Endemico - Est Alpico; l'habitat tipico sono i greti dei torrenti montani e le pietraie in genere; la distribuzione sul territorio italiano è relativa alle Alpi centro-orientali fino ad una altitudine di 1.600 .

 Chondrilla juncea L. - Lattugaccio comune: l'infiorescenza è formata da capolini sessili, quasi isolati o in parte raccolti in fascetti di 2 - 3 all'ascella delle foglie superiori; le foglie inferiori non sono presenti alla fioritura; l'altezza delle piante varia da 4 a 12 dm; il ciclo biologico è perenne; la forma biologica è emicriptofita scaposa (H scap); il tipo corologico è Eurimediterraneo - Sud Siberiano (Subpontico); l'habitat tipico sono gli incolti e i prati aridi; la distribuzione sul territorio italiano è completa fino ad una altitudine di 1.700 .

Specie della zona alpina
Entrambe le due specie della flora spontanea italiana vivono sull'arco alpino. La tabella seguente mette in evidenza alcuni dati relativi all'habitat, al substrato e alla distribuzione di queste specie relativamente alla zona alpina.

Specie Euro-Mediterranee
In Europa e nell'areale del Mediterraneo sono presenti le seguenti specie (a parte quelle della flora spontanea italiana):

My Book. Let me sell it to you.
The wind came in last night and moved the world around. It was hard to tell the difference until you stepped outside the next morning to get the paper. The air wasn't just cold; it was cold in a way that allows no alternative. It was from another planet. That's what the wind did: it pushed away all evidence of autumn, purged the world, then left. Into the void came winter.
It made for a noisy night. There's a loose sheet of metal under the eaves; strong winds bang it up and down. The winds rattled the gates, blew that hellish Charles-Ives harmonica chord through the windows of my study, and so alarmed the house it gave off thumps and groans I'd never heard before. Just as I'd drift off, something would BANG. Slept poorly with garish dreams full of queasy details - I remembered, for example, the feel of Hush Puppies, and the eternal plastic aroma of the pinkish plastic shoe-horn I got from Northport Clothiers as a kid. Why? I hadn't thought of that thing in decades, but there it was, spinning around in my brain. I even saw the teethmarks left by the dog; he chewed it once. We had the dog for a few months. To recall a forgotten childhood object, recapture its scent and the imprints left by a long-dead canine - well, it reminds you how much is stored and forgotten in your brain, waiting for the Man Behind the Curtain to frantically yank the levers and throw props on the stage.
I got up at 3:55, certain (G)Nat had missed the bus – and finally woke at eight feeling as though I'd been sleeping through an aerial bombardment. Of course, this was a day I had to be on NPR. Nine gallons of coffee later, I was in a studio in St. Paul. The NPR producer came on the line for a mike check, and asked me to say "peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."
"Peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers and pulled his plosives," I said, making sure not to pop my Ps. This seemed to please them, and we were off. It was the first interview for the book, and I didn't have any pre-fab anecdotes to be rolled out as spontaneous cogitations, so I was winging it all. Went well enough; took some calls (including one from a Bleat fan – thanks, you! And I remember that bedside-reading meebo note you sent, so I had to grin.) I expected questions about the genesis and rationale for the entire project, but you can't have everything. It's all here.
Back in the car and back to buzz; I'd shot some ghost ads on West Seventh on the way to the studio, and put one up. Light day on the site, alas. Well, we shall redouble our efforts on Wednesday. I love Wednesday! It's an entirely necessary day; keeps the thin gruel of Tuesday from slamming into the sloshy expectations of Thursday and getting temporal spatter all over the place. The very name of the day looks like a dense collapsible barrier that can take an impact from both directions. Wednesday.
I stayed up late watching "Sorry, Wrong Number," a fleshed-out movie version of the lean classic radio drama. There are three versions of the radio play, each of which features Endora from "Bewitched" as the terrified but generally unsympathetic shut-in who overhears a murder plot. She suffers from "nerves," the usual old unspecified complaint that made women take to their bed in a ruffled gown and take drugs prescribed by doctors who roll their eyes when they leave the room. Barbara Stanwyck plays the role in the movie; Burt Lancaster plays her husband. The story's done in real-time, which requires flashbacks, and sometimes the flashbacks contain flashbacks. How to indicate nested flashbacks? Simple: Watery dissolves with slow close-ups on the way in; watery dissolve with slow pull-backs on the way out. It's part of the language of film, and we all speak it. (G)Nat was very young when she informed me that something was a dream because the way the picture went wavy before they told the story.
It's almost a cyberthriller, if that horrible word means a lot driven by technology. The main character conducts her research entirely through the telephone. People call her from locations all over town; she deals with operators who actually pronounce nine as "ny-un," which made me think of an old New Yorker cartoon from the late 20s:
Is that accent still with us? It's uniquely New York. Anyway, the operators play a role in society long abolished by automation. Think how different the internet would seem if you had to call someone and request a web address. You-uh ar el-a puhleeze. It's hard to imagine how the world depended on people to put a plug in a socket to connect the call. But then again, it's hard to imagine how much of the world depends on people, period.
Here's the original from 1948, complete with Paul Frees introducing the program. You can still hear his voice at Disney's Haunted Mansion, I believe, as well as in endless other voiceovers and radio shows. I've also included another version from 1960, also with Agnes Moorehead. Only 12 years separates the two, which seems hard to believe; 1960 belongs to our era, 1948 to theirs. In terms of mere years, it's the difference between today and 1995. But that seems like a blink of an eye now. Unless you're 18, of course.
The book! You should buy it. Also, there's an Ad Archive update. And a 700-word opening essay at buzz.mn you might enjoy. See you there!

Create wall hangings, cushions, tablemats and coasters. The loom is ideal for students or any weaver wanting a simple way to be creative. Made from solid Silver Beech hard wood the frames are strong and robust for a variety of warps and tensions. Small and compact, the weaving frame is ideal for taking on holiday. The finished piece can be left in the frame and hung on the wall � a framed masterpiece!
Designed for use with our portable tapestry looms, our A-Frame Stand inexpensively answers the question of how to hold the loom upright on the table top or the floor while weaving. The adjustable side arms let you vary the angle, and may be folded up for storage.
This simple frame loom ensures success. We've designed this loom to be easy to warp and weave on. It has a 15" weaving width, a built-in stand for upright use on the floor or a table top, plus durable, 6 per inch, plastic warp spacers for uniform warping. Students of all ages will find it easy to use. Included with each loom are two pick-up sticks, a weaving needle, and simple warping and weaving instructions. The School Loom is made of hard maple and left unfinished.
The frame loom �Lisa� is available in 3 sizes. The Looms come with standard flat shuttle and pick-up stick it. The larger frame looms are made with raddle segments and come with a pick-up stick. The Extra Large version has a stand to use it upright on a table.
We don't always stock these and they may be subject to Louet's availability.
To keep the warp tension even throughout your weaving, our tapestry loom has a tension beam with thumbscrews on the end which allow for easy adjustment. Available in 18" and 25" weaving widths, our continuous warping system allows a 60" long warp to be put directly on the loom without using any other warping tools.
This is one of Mirrix's best selling looms. It fits in your lap or on a table and has a shedding device for ease in weaving tapestries and beads.
The Little guy is small enough for your lap or to throw in a bag to go but it's large enough to weave more than one piece of beaded jewelry or a beaded tapestry. The Little Guy is so portable but still very functional and if you want him to sit on a table, he comes with two legs that fold out to stand the loom upright. Although simple, this five pound loom is as sturdy and carefully designed as all the Mirrix looms. The weaving width is 9 inches and can do a max length of 24 inches. This loom is about perfect for workshops or pieces on the go.

Golden Gears hosts seventh annual car show at Iroquois Locks August 26th
August 23, 2018 P. Blancher – Leader staff Sports
"Because it's a '40" – One of the largest crowds this season took part in the weekly Docksyde Cruise-In August 20th in Morrisburg with 47 vehicles on display. "It is the biggest one we've had since Victoria Day," said Brian Erratt, event organizer. Of the more rare vehicles on display was Winchester Springs resident Mark Redmond's 1940 Ford Pickup (above). Redmond has owned the truck for only a few months, having bought it in Belleville this spring. The previous owner owned the vehicle for 47 years. "The body is all original," Redmond told The Leader. Under the hood is a different story. The truck has a small-block Chevy 350ci V-8 powering it. Other than a fix to the cooling system and some normal maintenance, he plans on enjoying driving the truck. "After working on a show car for a number of years, I just want to have fun with this." When asked why he chose this truck, Redmond said he loved the front, which was the same design as Ford's sedan in the same year, and "Because it's a '40". This was the last design offered by Ford before the United States entered World War Two. Redmond's truck will be on display this weekend during the annual Golden Gears Car Show at the Iroquois Locks August 26th. (The Leader/Blancher photo)
IROQUOIS – A sure sign that the summer season is nearing a close is the annual Golden Gears Car Club show at the Iroquois Locks. This year the show will take place this Sunday, August 26th.
This is the signature show for the classic and vintage vehicle club.
Last year, the show attracted over 350 vehicles ranging from 1910 to present, coming from as far away as western Ontario, and upstate New York. Everything from classics like Mustangs and MG's to oddballs like Reliant K-Cars and Vanduras. Organizers this year are hoping for at least 400 vehicles on display.
From noon until 2:30 p.m., Eddy and the Stingrays will perform at the show, playing rock and roll classics for the young and young at heart.
The show has been an annual event for the car club since it was re-vitalized in 2012.
Golden Gears hosts this annual show, along with a number of cruise-ins, show and shine events and charitable events in the community. Earlier this month, the group raised over 600 pounds of food and $300 in donations for Community Food Share with their popular "Fill the Rat Rod" event.
The club has over 90 members who share a love of classic and vintage vehicles, and are also community minded. Golden Gears has supported local groups like CFS, Winchester District Memorial Hospital, local Lions Clubs, a bursary at Seaway District High School and the South Dundas Christmas Exchange.
Running from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., there is no charge for spectators at the car show, however members of the club are accepting donations from vehicles when they enter the park. Show cars will be charged a $10 registration fee. In addition, there will be a 50-50 draw at the show which will be given to local charities.
Bring your own lawn chair, and take a ride down classic car memory lane.

Ever wonder why you allowed in audiences to your website to begin with? Well, the response must be 'to explore the website'. Any time so certainly, your website design must go convenient on map-reading. Proceed having a menu of links all over the page at the very top or down the left. Textual content links are always better. And yes, to get a good website page design, the link pattern should be consistent in all pages, whatever the pages are about.
If you are in for color background for your website design, help yourself to a lot of serious pondering. Not that color track record is terrible per se. Complot shades carry out look nice, but if you consider that human your-eyes more acquainted with white backdrop (as regarding books), it's going to be all the more reason to do that for your webpage design.
Even if your primary navigation backlinks are trendy, ensure that additional text links sport an easy look. In numerous a web site design, one fails to indicate out text links from other content. This kind of happens if you choose near-similar colours for the two. The least you want in the web page design and style is to confuse your visitor with website link anomaly. Another point worth attending to is denoting visited relates to a distinct color. Nothing is more frustrating than visiting same page many times.
For any web site design, articles is considered since bread-and-butter. Managing text-size of content with styles is in vogue these days in a great many web page designs. Yet a common refrain amongst serious audiences is to allow them decide the text size. This kind of calls for capability to resize text as needed.
Next on your list of great web page style must be to set up your text messaging for easy studying. Let us keep in mind that reading the screen differs from examining print. Focus on screen is quick. Opt consequently for a reasonable web page design and style that attends to specificities like bulleted lists, short paragraphs, subheads, highlighted keywords and the like.
Coming to fonts, numerous online tests have already been conducted by usability analysts. The ones that emerge as most clear and consise and generally chosen are Verdana and Amusing though other kinds such as Arial, Courier and Georgia likewise find recognition in website design.
Period now to explore screen image resolution you would go with your webpage design. Inspite of perceptible change to excessive screen promises, there are many viewers who nonetheless feel comfortable with smaller resolution. 640×480 pixels may be pass, however, not so are 800×600 pixels. Should you be alive to this, you will flourish to duration your web page design upon percentage of screen size instead of fixing size in pixels.
If your chosen web page style is for huge resolutions, there is the headlines having cluttered in small monitors and the text messaging overlapping. Your best option would be to exercise a parity among different screen resolutions so that your website design does not loose harmony.
Not all web browsers display your web page design and style in the same way. As of this moment, Internet Explorer 6th stands high with about 60% of all users. Opera comes following but lags IE6 with a wide margin at 25%. Since together, the two take care of an overwhelming 85% of acclaim, it may you need to be that the web page design and style compulsorily adjusts to equally, if not for others like Mozilla, Netscape and Ie, who jointly commands www.telemundoalaska.com rather much 5% of browser-reach.
What ever your site design always be, remember a viewer normally takes only one-twentieth of a second to form an effect of a web page . Juxtapose that with F-shaped reading pattern of viewers , and you know your job is definitely cut up to have a suitable website design.

Playing Vaccination Roulette
From Where I SitOpinion
No one wants to play this game, but it will continue until the supply of vaccine comes closer to meeting demand and the delivery system becomes easier to navigate.

I was enjoying a party in a crowded hotel room, where people were sitting on the beds and leaning against the furniture, when I suddenly realized that no one — myself included — was wearing a mask.
I woke with a start. It was just a bad dream.
In the wide-awake world, the hosannas that greeted November's announcements of COVID-19 vaccines gave way to disenchantment, as gilded pronouncements were tarnished by the logistical challenges of getting vaccine into arms. To borrow from political analyst David Axelrod, trouble results "when the details meet the narrative."
I have been both a player and a spectator in the game of vaccination roulette. Spin the wheel and see where the ball stops. It might be at an indoor stadium or a tent in a parking lot, at a grocery store or (soon) a pharmacy, or at a community health center or private clinic. Or maybe nowhere and you are forced to spin again.
When a grocery chain opened its appointment site at 6 a.m. one recent day, the governor said there was "more demand than you'd see for a Georgia-Alabama SEC championship football game." And for something far more important, I would add.
Hopefully we hear of nothing in Atlanta similar to what a friend in New York City posted on Facebook: "Last week I was in shock when the executive director of a synagogue bragged to me that he sent the members of his Long Island congregation to [a hospital] in Brooklyn to lineup for the 1,800 or so doses that were earmarked for minorities, for the poor, for elderly people who do not have access to the internet. This gentleman had the gall to tell me over the phone that 'minorities don't believe in the vaccine.' #disgusted"
Too many Americans persist in their rejection of the most basic precautions against a potentially deadly virus, with predictable results. Georgia's post-holidays spike in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations receded, but left behind a surge in deaths as a lagging indicator.
When Georgia added people age 65 and older to Tier 1a, I wondered whether there was a sufficient supply of vaccine to handle adding some 1.5 million adults to the highest priority group, which already included health care workers, first responders, and the residents and staff of long-term care facilities. Not even close.
Until supply and demand come into closer proximity, an element of desperation will remain. I have friends who drove from metro Atlanta to near the Alabama border when their daughter found them appointments. The brother of another friend drove their 91-year-old father, who lives independently, to the northeast corner of Georgia because they could not make arrangements closer to home.
I live in DeKalb County, which I name not to criticize, but to praise for responding quickly when informed that its computer system had sent appointment confirmations to people who then were turned away because their names were absent from an on-site master list. The county also fixed social media messaging that impugned people who, in good faith, had followed the instructions they received to secure those appointments.
About a week after this column is published, I am scheduled to be jabbed in my upper left arm with a second dose of the Moderna vaccine. Even then, I will wear a mask and take care of where I go, because that remains the prudent thing to do.
No one wants to find themselves patching a roof during a storm, but in essence that's what the nation did for a year. The COVID-19 pandemic laid bare the human cost of failing to maintain a robust public health infrastructure. Public health departments often are underfunded, understaffed, and taxed by the myriad of services they are tasked to provide. Georgia's legislature has shown a willingness to put more skin (read: taxpayer dollars) in the game, even as the governor's budget proposal relied heavily on federal funds.
The COVID-19 response last year left much to be desired. To reset the narrative, the new administration in Washington has increased the states' weekly vaccine allotments and improved federal-state coordination, announced plans to add 200 million doses to the 400 million purchased by its predecessor, and deployed FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) to bolster the effort. What's at stake is not only public health but restoring public confidence in the role of government as protector of its citizenry.

"Students for Life Action supports efforts in Montana to protect children from the violence of abortion and ensure that pregnant women are not deceived by the money-grubbing Big Abortion industry," said SFLAction's Lucia Morud. HELENA, MT & WASHINGTON D.C. (01-20-2021) – Students for Life Action/Students for Life of America's Lucia Morud, Pacific Northwest Regional Coordinator, and Freeman Marshall, a student leader from Montana State University, the largest Students for Life group in the state, testified before the House Judiciary committee for the second day in favor of Montana's HB 140 and HB 167, pro-life bills aimed at regulating the predatory abortion industry and rescuing children from the genocide of abortion.

"Who Wants to be A Millionaire" Faces Backlash For Fundraising For Planned Parenthood
"Who Wants to be a Millionaire" used to be a popular show among most Americans. Many people would tune in every week to watch host Regis Philbin's banter with the guests, and to see if they could answer the questions asked to the participant.
But now the show has joined the list of pro-abortion shows that are catering to the abortion activists and using their platform to fundraise for Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion vendor. This comes after "The Price Is Right" used its platform to help fundraise money for Planned Parenthood as well.
This last Thursday, Andy Cohen, who finally has a chance to be on a major TV network, since his late-night show usually lives on Bravo, a station you watch when there's nothing good on the Home Shopping Network, was on the show. Because he supports the abortion of 345,672 people, he wanted to raise money for Planned Parenthood, which committed 345,672 abortions last year against innocent preborn babies, killing them and harming their moms.
Lifenews.com reports, "a special celebrity episode of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" will feature CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and talk show host Andy Cohen playing for charity, according to The Streamable.
One of those charities is the billion-dollar abortion chain Planned Parenthood, which aborted more than 345,000 unborn babies last year. Cohen appears to be the one who chose the abortion group as his charity, based on an Entertainment Weekly report, while Cooper apparently chose the Spike's K9 Fund."
The show is now hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, who became famous by being crude and derogatory towards women. It's actually a good match if you think about it; Planned Parenthood routinely abuses and exploits women, and Kimmel became famous by being abusive and derogatory towards women. So it's no wonder the two go together well.
The decision by the show led to a backlash.
@rangerktc1 @AbbyJohnson glad to see Andy Cohen had the lowest dollar amount of any celebrity playing Who Wants to be a Millionaire. His "charity" was Planned Parenthood.

Try watching Who wants to be a Millionaire with Anderson and then Andy Cohen.. Playing for Planned Parenthood. Couldn't turn channel fast enough.

Andy Cohen just won $32K for Planned Parenthood on Celebrity Who Wants to be a Millionaire, so I think they would find a way to get by if we got rid of their taxpayer funding
