If it looks like a volcanic eruption and acts like a volcanic eruption, is it a volcanic eruption … even if it's on Mars, which hasn't had an eruption at this particular volcano in at least 50 million years and hasn't had a lava flow anywhere in at least 2 million years? That question is currently being hotly debated by astronomers and conspiracy theorists after many people looking at recent pictures from the European Space Agency's Mars webcam on board its Mars Express orbiter spotted what looks like a volcanic plume over Arsia Mons, a volcano on the Tharsis bulge near the Martian equator. Is it a volcano or is it something else? Is it being covered up or is it something else?
Let's start by saying that no one questions that something DID happen on Mars over the Arsia Mons volcano and it WAS photographed by the webcam on the ESA's Mars Express orbiter. The pictures being referenced appear to be from 9-5-2018 to 10-20-2018. Further investigation by Forbes found that NASA's 2001 Mars Odyssey mission also picked up clouds over Arsia Mons in September 2018. Those photos didn't cause the same controversy in the conspiracy community since the looked more like fog than a volcanic plume.
Speaking of the conspiracy community, multiple sites picked up the photographs, called it a volcanic eruption and speculated it was being covered up with their evidence being the recent shutdown of the solar observatory in New Mexico, shutdowns of other observatories and the conspiracy theorists' inherent distrust of NASA. Those shutdowns have been explained (the one in New Mexico was due to a criminal investigation and possible threats) and one wonders why a 'solar' observatory would be shut down over a Martian eruption. The answer is point three – they don't trust NASA.
For those who do trust NASA, at least occasionally, it sent Tanya Harrison, Director of Research for Arizona State University's Space Technology and Science Initiative and a Science Team Collaborator on the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Opportunity, to Twitter to explain the plume.

Henderson Animal Control announces BARK program
Education is a powerful tool — and one Henderson County Animal Control hopes can be used to cut down on repeat offenders.
Henderson Animal Control announces BARK program Education is a powerful tool — and one Henderson County Animal Control hopes can be used to cut down on repeat offenders.

During a recent meeting of the Henderson County Fiscal Court, Chief Animal Control Officer Katie Crooks, along with Angela Hagedorn, the executive director of the Humane Society of Henderson County, spoke about an initiative called BARK.
"BARK is a program sort of like a court-approved diversion program," Crooks said. "BARK stands for Building Animal Responsibility and Knowledge. Basically, the program will cover the city and county ordinances."
"So if we charge someone with not providing rabies shots to their dogs, or not having city/county licenses, running at large, or breeding without a license, they will have the option to complete the BARK program. If they do, that charge is dismissed. Hopefully, this will provide more of an education to people, so I'm not having to send so many to court over and over and over again."
"This is a pilot program," Hagedorn said. "It's the only operating diversion program like this in the state."
Crooks said BARK is not an option for those who've been charged with abusing animals.
"It will not be offered to people with first-degree or second-degree cruelty charges or torture offenses," she said.
"Essentially, the way it works is if someone has been charged with (minor offenses) involving their animals, they come to court and have the option of entering the BARK program," said Henderson County Attorney Steve Gold. "This program, like Officer Crooks said, is similar to the diversion program. Which means as opposed to paying a fine and just moving on, they go through this program and learn about the proper care and control of animals. The court case would be dismissed if they successfully complete the BARK program and not have further problems with taking care of their animals."
"This is a way that instead of just giving someone a fine and moving on, the person can be educated," Gold said. "Again, because what we are seeing is they get a fine, move on and six months later they are back in court with charges related to a different animal that's not being cared for properly. So we hope the program will build knowledge so we don't see them coming back again. Sometimes these situations involve people who love animals but they just don't know the best or proper way to take care of them."
"I'm very excited," Crooks said. "When Mr. Gold mentioned some time ago that he'd like to do something like this, I took it and ran with it, and Angie helped me."
The program will last one hour and cost participants $35, Crooks said.
Hagedorn said the money earned from the program will be given to the Humane Society.
In a later interview with The Gleaner, Crooks said the BARK program would be offered at different times to accommodate people's schedules.
"They'll have to call and register. Classes will be held weekly at 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and at 10 a.m. on Thursdays. And bimonthly, we will hold a class at the library at 6 p.m. That class will be $45."
Gold said people can look at the participation cost this way "Compare it to if you get a $50 fine. By the time you add court costs, you're paying $235. So, it's $200 less. It's cheaper. You end up without a conviction on your record and hopefully, you learn something."
Crooks said the program will start July 1.
"We've been looking at this for about a year," she said. "We are trying to get people education about caring for their animals before the offenses get to the point of more severity such as neglect and abuse."

The Royal museum, COVID and a Liberal name change: B.C.'s top political stories of 2022 | Globalnews.ca
In this article, you will get all information regarding The Royal museum, COVID and a Liberal name change: B.C.'s top political stories of 2022 | Globalnews.ca
It caught British Columbians by surprise.
Months after declaring he was cancer free and returning to travel the province, John Horgan announced he was stepping down as premier.
His decision and the aftermath dominated many of the top political stories in British Columbia in 2022.
John Horgan resigns
The cycle of politics in any province is built around the actions of the premier.
When Horgan announced in June he would be stepping down as premier as soon as the party found his replacement it sent shockwaves through the political eco-system.
John Horgan to step down as B.C. premier, asks party to hold fall leadership race
The decision ultimately came down to Horgan's health, even though he was cancer free he struggled to get through the demanding schedule.
"I have come to the conclusion I could not give six more years. This has been the thrill of my life to be the Premier of British Columbia," Horgan told reporters in June.
Horgan ultimately made the decision after walking on the beach with his wife, Ellie.
Reaching the mid-point of a second term made it clear there needed to be a leader focused on the next two years and beyond.
"I am proud to say I'm cancer-free. While I have a lot of energy, I must acknowledge this may not be the case two years from now," Horgan said.
"I will continue to do my level best to make politics work for people. This includes pushing the federal government to fund their fair share of health-care costs so we can make our public health-care system work better for everyone."
The legacy Premier John Horgan will leave behind as he steps down
David Eby becomes British Columbia's next premier
There is clearly some backstory to unpack here between Horgan's decision to step down and Eby being sworn in but we will fill those gaps a little further down.
In November, Eby was sworn in as B.C.'s 37th premier and launched the next chapter of this NDP government's first election in 2017.
The former Attorney General and housing minister used his opening speech as premier to chart a course prioritizing affordability, housing, public safety and the province's health-care system.
"I feel the values of the community I was raised in. You need to give back. That you need to look after those who need extra support. You need to celebrate together victories. You are part of a team and fairness is critical," Eby said.
David Eby sworn in as British Columbia's 37th premier
The official ceremony at the Musqueam First Nation marked the first time a premier in the province was formally introduced as premier on First Nations territory.
Unlike many premiers, Eby inherited a government scandal free and still popular with the public.
"I will let you in on a secret. I am not as tall as I look because I am standing on the shoulders of John Horgan," Eby said holding back tears.
David Eby sworn in as 37th B.C. premier
Controversial NDP leadership race
As perceived front runner after perceived front runner dropped out of the B.C. NDP leadership race it was shaping up to be a coronation for Eby.
First, it was Ravi Kahlon announcing he wasn't running and would support Eby. Bowinn Ma, Josie Osborne, Adrian Dix and many others soon followed.
By the time Eby announced he was running, nearly 50 NDP MLAs has pledged to support him.
But while the establishment had chosen their candidate, environmental activists were planning their own course to the premier's office.
BC NDP chief electoral officer recommends disqualifying Anjali Appadurai from leadership race
Anjali Appadurai, a former NDP federal candidate, was chosen to run and worked closely with organizations like Dogwood BC to recruit and sign up members.
Soon after the party's cut-off for memberships, it was revealed by the BC NDP and Elections BC that Appadurai was under investigation for the way her memberships were sold.
The party ultimately determined internal rules had been broken in numerous cases, and Appadurai was disqualified leaving Eby as the only leadership candidate.
Anjeli Appadurai disqualified, David Eby will become next B.C. premier
Kevin Falcon wins leadership
The BC NDP was not the only party in the province with a new leader in 2022.
In February, the BC Liberal membership chose Kevin Falcon to lead the party. Falcon entered the race in 2021 as the perceived front-runner and cruised to victory.
Falcon's victory marked the beginning of this political comeback story.
The former finance, transportation and health minister quit politics in 2012 after losing the 2011 BC Liberal leadership race to Christy Clark.
Kevin Falcon wins B.C. Liberal leadership in landslide
Falcon returned to the public sector, working as a housing developer while starting a family. When he won the leadership he was joined on stage by his wife and two daughters.
He was sworn in as the MLA for Vancouver-Quilchena in May after winning a by-election in the riding.
Focus BC: BC Liberals elect Kevin Falcon as new party leader
BC Liberal name change
One of Kevin Falcon's promises during the BC Liberal leadership campaign was to allow members to vote on a name change.
In November the party announced 80 per cent of members who voted favoured a switch to BC United.
The BC United name was chosen after the party was told other possible options like the BC Party were off limits due to Elections BC rules.
The party has not decided when to put the new name into play, not ruling out the switch in branding before the next provincial election.

Overhaul for family doctors amid health care crisis
The pandemic exposed significant holes in British Columbia's health-care system including chronic understaffing and an outdated payment model for family doctors.
In October the province announced an overhauling of the payment model in an attempt to retain family doctors and attract new ones.
The new model, co-developed by Doctors of BC, BC Family Doctors and the provincial government, will be available as of February 2023.
New compensation model announced for B.C. doctors
Family physicians can choose to continue with the current model or opt in to the new one.
The new system moves away from the fee-for-service model and takes into account factors including the time a doctor spends with a patient, the number of patients a doctor sees in a day, and the number of total patients a doctor supports through their office.
Based on prescribed targets, doctors will earn $385,000, up from an average of $250,000.
"I am pleased that we have come up with a new payment model that makes B.C. a province that attracts, retains and supports family doctors, and ensures they can focus on what matters most, providing care to patients when they need it," Horgan said at the time.
B.C. makes seismic shift in funding model to retain, attract more family doctors
Record gas price
It is a record B.C. drivers wish had stayed unbroken.
In September, gas prices at the pump hit a new milestone with a new North American all-time high at $2.419 for a litre of regular gas.
There were numerous times in the year when Vancouver broke North American records for gas prices, largely driven by the war in Ukraine.
Metro Vancouver breaks gas price record
When gas prices started to skyrocket in February and March, the province announced financial support to drivers in the form of a rebate of $110 through ICBC, while commercial drivers got $165.

Even Horgan acknowledged the rebate wasn't going to do enough to cover all of the surging costs.
"But right now I encourage people to think before you hop in the car. Do you need to make that trip? Can you do it with a neighbour or someone going by?," Horgan quipped in May.
Lifting of COVID-19 measures
As the Omicron wave started to subside, the province followed suit with other jurisdictions and lifted key COVID-19 measures.
First came the dropping of the mask mandate, as of March there was no longer a requirement to mask up in public, indoor spaces.
Then by April, the province dropped the vaccine card, no longer requiring businesses to check to see if someone was vaccinated against COVID-19.
Vaccine card: B.C.'s last major COVID-19 measure lifted
"We believe we can remove some of the restrictions weighing the risk. We know some businesses will still decide to use the vaccine card based on their clientele," provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said in April.
Almost all businesses dropped the vaccine requirement, although some have kept mask requirements in place.
The lifting of the vaccine measures coincided with a campaign in the province to get everyone a COVID-19 booster shot.
COVID-19: Vaccine card no longer in place in B.C.
Delay of the start of the school year due to Omicron
The easing of the physical COVID-19 restrictions made it easier for the public to put the virus in the rearview mirror.
But it was not that long ago, back in January, when the start of the school semester was pushed back a week due to concerns around COVID spread.
B.C. delaying start of school until Jan. 10 for most K to 12 students
Children with special needs and children of health care workers went back to school on Jan. 3 or 4 as planned, but everyone else went back on Jan. 10 — one week later than initially scheduled.
"As we know the pandemic is changing but the education system is nimble and strong. Our efforts are truly focused on minimizing disruption and absenteeism," said B.C. Education Minister Jennifer Whiteside said at the time.
Omicron concerns: Rising anxiety about return to class in B.C.
Craig James found guilty
Describing the B.C. legislature's clerk scandal as a difficult time, Horgan told reporters he was "grateful that a very sad chapter in this institution's history has now been put to rest."
After a dark cloud hung over the legislature for years, in May former clerk Craig James was found guilty of fraud and breach of trust.
James pleaded not guilty to two counts of fraud over $5,000 and three counts of breach of trust by a public officer based on allegations of misspending stemming from his time serving as clerk between 2011 and 2018.

The judge found him not guilty of all other similar charges related to a $258,000 retirement fund and the use of a wood splitter.
The sage involving James started in 2018 when the previous speaker Darryl Plecas presented evidence to the Legislature's management committee accusing James of wrongdoing.

BCGEU goes on strike, public sector unions reach deals
It was a rough start to labour negotiations between the province and the big public sector unions.
Starting over the negotiations, the BC General Employees Union and with little ground gained around the negotiation table, a strike was called.
It started with pickets around the Liquor Distribution centres, leading to a lack of products at restaurants, bars and on liquor store shelves.

The strike carried over to law courts and service centres.
Eventually, a deal was struck, and ratified, paving the way for other public sector unions. The only major union without a deal is the BC nurses.

Royal BC Museum fiasco
It was a mammoth mistake.
The B.C. government forged ahead with a brand new $789-million Royal BC Museum in Victoria as British Columbians grappled with the cost of living increases.
A poll conducted by the Angus Reid Institute found 69 per cent of British Columbians were opposed to the project.
Eventually, Horgan backed down, cancelling the project and leaving the current facility in a state of flux with two major galleries currently closed.
Almost 70% of British Columbians oppose new Royal BC Museum: poll
"We made choices based on the best information at hand and we thought we had it right. Clearly, we did not," Horgan said in June.
"I've heard the people of British Columbia quite clearly that we were making the wrong decision at the wrong time.
B.C. government puts Royal BC Museum rebuild on hold
No federal deal on health care
Horgan was hoping his final act as B.C. premier would be as lead negotiator on a new deal between the federal government and the provinces on health care.
But after multiple attempts, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would not even come to the table to meet with Canada's premiers.
Canada's premiers put pressure on federal government for more health care funding
The premiers met together in Victoria to discuss a deal to increase health transfers but a federal representative didn't even show up in person.
A subsequent meeting in Vancouver including all of the provincial health ministers and the federal minister ended with a separate press conference and no deal as well.
"I have been waiting and waiting, and waiting for significant response from the federal government and frankly it has been absent," Horgan said in July.
Money laundering public inquiry finds no political corruption
After a three-year investigation into money laundering in B.C. casinos and the housing market, Commissioner Austin Cullen found no links to political corruption.
But did conclude money laundering in the province's casinos persisted over the tenures of multiple ministers responsible for gaming including former BC Liberal MLA Rich Coleman and current BC Liberal MLA Mike de Jong.
Report says B.C. politicians may have been complicit in money laundering but were not corrupt
In a more than 1,800-page report, the Cullen Commission team outlined that elected officials in the province were aware of suspicious funds entering the provincial revenue stream through the gaming industry and could have done more to stop it.
"Despite the failure of these elected officials to take steps sufficient to resolve the extensive money laundering occurring in the industry for which they were responsible, there is no basis to conclude that any engaged in any form of corruption related to the gaming industry or to the Commissioner's mandate for generally," Cullen writes.
Money laundering public inquiry finds 'no evidence' of political corruption in B.C.
Autism funding reversal
After months of advocacy from concerned parents, the B.C. government announced in November it was changing how it plans to fund support for people with autism.
After meeting with Indigenous leaders, the children's rights watchdog, and members of AutismBC, Eby announced the province will maintain the individualized funding model for children with an autism diagnosis instead of phasing it out in 2025.
A big win for B.C. families with autistic children
The province was planning a move, like other provinces, to a hub model where service delivery is centralized.
"Every child in B.C. should have the supports they need to thrive," Eby said.
"We are focused on listening to families of children and youth with support needs. We will work collaboratively with all partners to make sure our services work for every child."
Following backlash, B.C. to maintain current model to fund autism support
BC Place playing host to the World Cup
After originally showing FIFA a red card, the B.C. government scored a goal with fans in the province by joining the game late to host games in the FIFA 2026 World Cup hosted in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Vancouver is officially a host city of the 2026 World Cup games
The province raised concerns about writing FIFA a 'blank cheque' on covering costs for BC Place, security and potential overruns.
Those concerns were dealt with behind closed doors before B.C. formally became a potential host city and eventually was chosen, along with Toronto, to host the ten World Cup games scheduled for Canada.
"We're not hosting the largest ever World Cup just for kicks. British Columbians will enjoy an economic boost to the tourism and hospitality sectors that will be felt for years to come. We look forward to welcoming the global soccer community to our province," Horgan said at the time.
Vancouver chosen to host FIFA World Cup 2026 games as part of North American bid
Lepard-Butler report
Back in May, the B.C. government hired Doug LePard and Amanda Butler to investigate a surge in crime in multiple areas of B.C. connected to prolific offenders.
The pair was tasked with providing recommendations to the province following the BC Urban Mayors' Caucus issuing an open letter calling for stronger bail conditions, stricter consequences for breaching those conditions, and stronger consideration for "maintaining public confidence in the administration of justice".
Vancouver's former deputy police chief says he's gotten push back from Crown over calls to keep chronic offenders in custody
The letter detailed the amount of time the province took to review files it receives from police shot up 118 per cent since 2017, while the rate at which the BC Prosecution Service chooses to not charge suspects based on police evidence has risen by 75 per cent.
Ultimately increasing mental health crisis response teams, diverting accused people with serious mental disorders from the criminal system, and creating secure housing units for clients with complex mental health were the key recommendations from LePard and Butler.
B.C. report on prolific offenders delayed due to 'complexity' of issues
Calls from the committee for regional policing
In April, an all-party committee of B.C. MLAs called on the province to get rid of the RCMP in the province and replace it with a provincial police force.
The report also called for regional police forces in Metro Vancouver and southern Vancouver Island, to move away from a fractured municipal policing model.
Questions about police moving toward regional force instead of municipal force in B.C.
In the report, the committee emphasized that transitioning to a provincial police service is not a reflection on the work of individual RCMP officers.
The report also focuses on ensuring all policing is responsive to and informed by the community as well as building trust by shifting the culture and structure of police services.
"The committee's vision for policing and public safety includes: ensuring equitable access to police and public safety services with consistent oversight, governance, training, and policies," the report reads.

Could Blueberries Save You From Hypertension?
Fruits are good for your health! Regular consumption of fruits can greatly improve your health and well-being, and there are a lot of fruits which you can consume to lead you to better health. Most citrus fruits are a great source of vitamin C, while bananas can help boost your energy, and cherries help calm your nervous system. But did you know that blueberries are a perfect solution to control your blood pressure? Most berries are the healthiest that you could ever eat as they are proven to be high in fiber content, yet are low in sugar. These berries are perfect antioxidants and now they are your partner for your cardiovascular health, such as in controlling your blood pressure.
The leading cause of death around the world is mainly attributed to cardiovascular diseases, and a predisposing risk to such disease is high blood pressure. When you have a sedentary lifestyle, or you have poor eating habits, then you are most likely going to develop high blood pressure. But the good news is that you can consume blueberries in moderation so it can help stabilize your blood pressure, which can be totally helpful for your heart health.
What Is Pterostilbene And What Are Its Effects?
For so many years, blueberries and most berries have been considered as super fruits, as this group is able to contribute to your good health because of its antioxidant property. It has recently been found out by researchers that a good amount of pterostilbene in blueberries can help decrease blood pressure. It is a heart-friendly compound that is also with anti-diabetes as well as anti-cancer properties. With this, it is all the more convincing on why you should always include blueberries as part of your diet.
There are now a lot of researches conducted to test the efficacy of blueberries in lowering blood pressure levels, and all studies have pointed out the fact that there is indeed a correlation between consumption of blueberries to that of reduction in blood pressure. One study that was conducted involves women at their post menopausal stage. All the participants are with borderline to high blood pressure level. In the course of 8 weeks of research, half of the subjects of the study were given blueberry powder which is freeze dried, while the other half were given similar looking powder although its main content is not blueberry. After the 8 weeks of trial, significant decrease in the blood pressure levels was noted of those who were taking the blueberry powder. The 5-6 percent drop in the blood pressure level is really a significant improvement compared to those who are taking anti-hypertension medications. This goes to prove that women can enjoy the benefits that blueberries can contribute to their health; this research on blueberries goes to show that the post menopausal women are able to be at bay from ever developing cardiovascular diseases.
On the other hand, another group tried to solidify the fact that blueberries indeed are perfect for hypertensive persons. The researchers then focus on the active antioxidant in blueberries—the pterostilbene. Participants in the study were given 125mg of pterostilbene extracts, while the other half of the participants were given only placebos. And true enough, after the weeks of research, results showed that there is indeed a reduction in the blood pressure levels in both the systolic as well as diastolic levels.
Further study has cemented the main fact that indeed blueberries are perfect for your cardiovascular health. When nitric oxide was measured during the research period, it revealed that those who have been consuming blueberries are able to experience an increase in its level, while those who were given placebos have the same level of nitric oxide just like in their pre-trial period. It should be noted that nitric oxide actually helps in letting the blood vessels to actually maintain their elasticity and that it also helps in dilating the blood vessels so that blood flow can properly pass through. With dilated blood vessels come the facts that blood can easily travel all through the body with less pressure.
Consumption of the needed amount of blueberries essential for your daily recommended allowance is not that hard to achieve. There are so many ways on how you can prepare these blueberries, and still enjoy it each day. In fact, you can just simply pair the berries with your oatmeal or cereal during breakfast and you are already good with the needed amount to keep hypertension at bay. Additionally, you can prepare blueberry smoothies which you can drink for snacks, or just when you need to satisfy your sweet cravings. On the other hand, there are certain salsas made up of blueberries, while some cupcakes and bread have incorporated blueberries to augment its taste.
It is for this reason that you need to incorporate consumption of blueberries into your diet so that you can see for yourself how well your health can be at the end of the day. There are so many benefits for your health that these berries can give, and you should make it a point to have it as one of your favorite fruits. Your daily consumption of blueberry could be a natural remedy so that you can finally control your high blood pressure level. As a natural remedy, you must not make it a replacement of your maintenance hypertensive medications, but instead, use it in conjunction of such medications to give you an improved overall health and well-being.
Fruits are indeed beneficial for your health, but you need to remember that consumption of these fruits in moderation is what will ultimately help you achieve the pink of health. Thus, you should not take these fruits for granted as there are a lot of positive effects that it can bring to you. It is truly a powerful strategy to always consume the right amount of fruits in order that you could ward away any susceptibility of hypertension.


Ghana's former President, Flt Lt Jerry John Rawlings, arrived in Istanbul, Turkey on Tuesday to participate in a watershed meeting on the final stages of the transitional process in Somalia.
President Rawlings will be joining international leaders such as UN Secretary-General, Ban Kin Moon, African Union Chairperson, Jean Ping, leaders from troop contributing countries in Somalia as well as the political leadership in Somalia in the UN organised International Contact Group meeting on Somalia hosted by the government of Turkey.
The conference, which takes place from May 31 to June 2, will discuss among others political, security and economic development issues such as water, energy and roads.
The conference also hopes to address both the immediate and multifaceted challenges that confront Somalia, including the humanitarian field, and to conceptualize and plan for the implementation of long-term solutions.
As African Union High Representative for Somalia, President Rawlings has been busy on the Somalia issue having visited Mogadishu in the past few weeks and thence to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia where he played a leading part in a meeting involving principal signatories of the roadmap to end the political transition in Somalia.
On 23 May, the signatories to the Roadmap agreed that the Elders selected by various traditional authorities now meeting in Mogadishu would select the delegates for the National Constituent Assembly (NCA) no later than 20 June.
They agreed that the NCA would convene on 2 July to adopt the new provisional Somali Constitution by 10 July. The new Somali Parliament will be selected by 15 July. The Elders will be assisted in the selection processes by a Technical Selection Committee, which will ensure nominees meet the criteria set out in the Garowe Conference.
At a press conference to announce the communiqué agreed between the principals, President Rawlings commended them for reaching an agreement and urged them to do everything possible to maintain the positive momentum so they can continue to receive the goodwill of not only the people of Somalia but the international community.

UTS research project to push boundaries for concrete manufacturing
July 30, 2020 NewsCaroline Tung
A new manufacturing research project brings together industry technology and engineering experts from Boral, the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and Southern Highland Concrete Constructions to develop advanced technology for manufacturing, placing and curing novel ultra-sustainable concrete in Australia.
The project aims to overcome current technological barriers of low-carbon concrete manufacturing and accelerate the development of Boral's lower carbon ENVISIA concrete.
The research team, led by UTS' Professor Vute Sirivivatnanon, combines the university's academic knowledge with the experience of Boral's innovation team.
"Our aim is to push the technological boundaries of binder and chemical admixture technology and lift the maximum replacement rate of OCP while maintaining the fresh and early hardened properties of concrete for optimum construction efficiency," he said.
"In addition, all durability properties critical to the achievement of design life for concrete structures will be optimised to deliver truly sustainable building."
The core research will be undertaken at the UTS Boral Centre for Sustainable Building at UTS Tech Lab in Sydney, where the researchers will develop and test new ultra-sustainable concrete. It will evaluate the effectiveness of proposed manufacturing approaches to tackle strength development and improve surface finishing techniques.
Boral general manager, Innovation Development, Dr Louise Keyte, said ENVISIA already performs as well as conventional concrete while containing a sizeable cement replacement, achieved through the inclusion of alternative binders.
"Our ambition, through the collaboration with UTS and Southern Highland Concrete Constructions, is to accelerate our research into new binders and develop the next generation of ENVISIA concrete," she said. "We want to push low carbon boundaries even further while maintaining the practical properties of regular concrete."
Low-carbon concrete uses supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as ground granulated blast-furnace slag, fly ash and calcined clay as binders, instead of ordinary Portland cement (OPC). OPC is a major contributor to carbon emissions after fossil fuels.
To date, the percentage of SCM in low-carbon concrete products has been limited to 50 per cent to ensure blended concrete meets set workability, durability and strength requirements without demanding specialised high-temperature curing schemes or the use of highly alkaline activators.
Once lab-tested, the team will work with Southern Highlands Concrete Construction, a growing SME specialised in placing and curing concrete, to trial the ultra-sustainable concrete on construction sites.
Managing Director at Southern Highland Concrete Constructions, Benjamin Clarke, highlights that low-carbon concrete will be the future of the construction industry.
"We are excited to be part of this project, sharing our expertise and techniques to make sure this next generation of low-carbon concrete achieves its desired strength and durability, and can be deployed cost-effectively," Clarke said.
The two-year project is co-funded by Boral and the Innovative Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (IMCRC), with both organisations investing $770,000 cash into the research as part of an overall $6 million investment.
CEO and managing director of IMCRC, David Chuter, describes the project as a great example of pushing industry boundaries by investing in research and development to produce new materials and products.
"Boral is at the forefront of low-carbon concrete development," he said.
"This Australian research collaboration will see Boral develop an ultra-sustainable concrete that will be the first product of its kind and will lead the way in reducing the carbon footprint of concrete production, domestically and internationally."

A bipartisan group of Cotton Belt Senators and House members, led by Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) and Representatives Etheridge (D-NC) and Emerson (R-MO), has written Secretary of Agriculture Ed Schafer to stress that it is inappropriate and unnecessary for USDA to cause serious disruptions in current farming operations by proposing unwarranted changes in the way it makes actively-engaged-in-farming determinations.
MEMPHIS – A bipartisan group of Cotton Belt Senators and House members, led by Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) and Representatives Etheridge (D-NC) and Emerson (R-MO), has written Secretary of Agriculture Ed Schafer to stress that it is inappropriate and unnecessary for USDA to cause serious disruptions in current farming operations by proposing unwarranted changes in the way it makes actively-engaged-in-farming determinations.
Twenty Senators and more than 40 House members signed separate letters that also request that the U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA) publish rules and regulations pertaining to new Adjusted Gross Income and payment limit reforms as soon as possible.
The letters remind the Secretary that the new law includes significant reforms in payment limitations and eligibility but does not require changes in the way individuals or entities are determined to be "actively-engaged-in-farming." Implementation of two new income tests and direct attribution will cause significant challenges and require adjustments for many farming operations.
Sign-up for 2009 should begin in October and the law requires that advance Direct Payments be available in December, meaning that the Farm Services Administration (FSA) and farmers must know the rules before signing up and requesting payments.
Chuck Coley, a producer from Vienna, GA, who chairs the American Cotton Producers of the NCC, expressed appreciation to Senator Chambliss for his efforts to insure the new law, which he co-authored and steered through a protracted debate, is implemented in the way Congress intended.
Max Denning, an officer of the North Carolina Cotton Producers Association, expressed appreciation to Representative Etheridge (D-NC) -- who chairs the General Farm Commodities subcommittee -- for urging USDA to publish rules necessary to allow farmers to begin to signup for the 2009 programs as soon as possible. "In this time of market uncertainty and escalating costs farmers and their lenders need access to a predictable safety-net program to begin plans for 2009 and beyond," Denning said.

Under your spell, written for Knocked out Loaded, and indeed containing the phrase "Knocked out and loaded" is most certainly a very strange song and indeed is one which Dylan has never played in public.
It was co-written with Carole Bayer Sager, herself no mean songwriter, and based around a track that Dylan supposedly recorded without any lyrics in November 1985, which is why I include it as the final composition of that strange year. (Strange for Dylan that is, not strange generally).
But as I say there were no lyrics at this time, and so they must have been added later, either by Ms Sager herself or by the two of them, perhaps with Ms Sager writing some and then Dylan writing some. (More on this in a moment).
Certainly by this time we had had a number of songs that Dylan had created and then passed on with a seemingly imperious flourish as if to say, "see if you can do something with this!" That is in effect the central story of 1985.
which surely is pure Dylan at his most obscure.
And then there is the construction. In the classic pop song you get a verse of maybe three, four, six or eight lines, followed by a second verse, followed by a middle 8 (which is a short section using different chords and a different melody), followed by another verse.
Verse, verse, middle 8, verse. Or A A B A as musicians are wont to put it.
Verse, verse, verse, verse, verse, verse, middle 8, verse, verse, verse.
There are also a few breaks of varying lengths thrown in from time to time. And the last word of the third line of each verse rhymes with all the other last lines. It is a most unusual structure.
Now of course there is nothing wrong with being unusual, but people like me often want to know why, and for the life of me I can't really tell, although I am about to make a guess.
As for the meaning… he's out of it either physically or mentally or both, he knows she needs help but he's in a mess… but then, well I don't really know what happens after that.
Baby, what more can I tell?
And all of this is before we get to the music. The melody sounds very Dylan, but the chord sequence is most unusual for our man. And yet the story he tells is that he was there at the writing of the music, which was a chord sequence out of which a melody emerged.
OK maybe so, but if I could find a way of resolving the issue I would happily put a bet on the fact that Dylan didn't write this chord sequence by himself.
Even if that is all gobbledegook to you, you might well recognise that we haven't had E+ before as a chord, and there haven't been too many Dsus4 chords around either. (In case you are interested the chord of E contains the notes E, G# and B. The chord of E+ (usually said as "E augmented") contains E, G# and technically B#, but B# is the same note as C so we could say E, G# and C).
Thus where I have got to is that it sounds to me as if Dylan wrote at least some of the lyrics and Carole Bayer Sager wrote the music, except that Dylan suggests he wrote the music.
Maybe we should try one other option: that Ms Sager wrote some of the lyrics, and Dylan, having a bit of fun, put in bits around it. Dylan wrote the chord sequence, and one of the band added the augmentation to the E.
Baby, is there anything left to tell?
That's a nice classic A A B A structure and it sort of makes sense. And Dylan then had a bit of a lark by adding those extra verses at the start and the end.
OK, maybe not, but really, you're guess is as good as mine.
But what of Carol Bayer Sager? She co-wrote with Toni Wine (herself a songwriter of note) "A groovy kind of love" which everyone of a certain age in Britain will know and which I am reliably informed was also a hit the the US. Actually it was also later a hit again for Phil Collins, but I digress.
She wrote lots of hits, wrote lots of soundtracks including that to "Arthur", had a platinum album and eventually married Burt Bacharach with whom she wrote "That's what friends are for" for which they won a Grammy, and later (after a divorce I am sure) married Robert Daly (who was chairman of Warner Brothers).
There is much much more to her career, including being on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and in the Songwriters Hall of Fame – but this composition with Dylan remains a profound oddity which I am struggling to resolve. Certainly the co-writing with Dylan doesn't even get a mention on the Wiki article about Ms Sager so presumably her fans who created the page didn't rate it. (And yes, I knew some of the stuff about her before I got to Wiki, but I was just checking the facts – honest).
There are reviews of Dylan's compositions from all parts of his life, up to the most recent writings, but of late I have been trying to put these into chronological order, and fill in the gaps as I work.
All the songs reviewed on this site are also listed on the home page in alphabetical order – just scroll down a bit.
I enjoy reading your posts Tony. I see you are going through Dylan's writings in groups and have just gone through Dylan's writings through 1985 to '86 which produced Empire and Knocked Out – I love Empire and do not understand why this period gets such a bum rap. But I Found these unreleased recordings from that period on 'After The Empire' And was wondering if you know the history of these recordings.
waiting for the afterlife to be happy – after Moses goes to the trouble of leading them out of slavery.
Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead".
Post Modern irony of the highest order. The artist in Dylan comes back to his senses, and runs.
Everything is torn; everything is broken.
Nor is "Well, the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed" obscure as it was on Mont Neb that Moses got to see the Promised Land from afar before he died after having led the Jews across the desert from slavery in Egypt.
Heading for Israel, not some Heaven in the clouds.
On a personal level the song is about the search for earthly love "caught between heaven and hell", not the make-believe kind.
The album is under-rated by those who are not aware of allusions and references therein.
Spell" with its wonderous fragmented associations to other artists and works of art: for example, Elvis and Gideon, deep wells of inspirational sources.
Is there anything else left to tell?
demonstrates that many of Dylan's songs deal with the dual oppositions of envy/kindness; gluttony; temperance; greed/charity; pride/humility; sloth/ diligence; wrath; patience.
His taking the ideas of the 'deconstructionism' into consideration, with roots in the works of Blake and Nietzsche (that words have no complete meaning in and of themselves because each is defined in terms of the other), deliberately-imposed ambiguity has become the hallmark of many of Dylan's lyrics: confusion is reality – irony and absurd humour the result.
Some view deconstructionists as believing one should not go outside the lyrics of a particular song in search of the albeit unattainable central meaning of the piece, but what of the author's works as a whole, one might ask?
the listener/reader simply taking his boat out too far from the golden shore?

Il Teatro dell'oppresso, in brasiliano Teatro do Oprimido, o TdO, è un metodo teatrale che comprende differenti tecniche create dal regista brasiliano Augusto Boal, già direttore del Teatro Arena di San Paolo. Le accomuna l'obiettivo di fornire strumenti di cambiamento personale, sociale e politico per tutti coloro si trovino in situazioni di oppressione. Boal lo insegnò in giro per il mondo fino alla sua morte nel 2009.

Storia

In Brasile
Ispirato alle idee di Paulo Freire ed al suo trattato, La pedagogia degli oppressi, il Teatro dell'Oppresso nasce in Brasile, in un clima di lotte operaie e contadine, in tempi in cui il regime oppressivo degli anni '60 del Novecento non consentiva l'espressione di critiche né di liberi pensieri e opinioni in pubblico. Boal portò il teatro nella vita quotidiana delle persone, mostrando che ognuno di noi può influenzare attivamente gli sviluppi sociopolitici. Con gli anni si è poi diffuso in tutto il mondo dove viene comunemente utilizzato.

Passaggio in Europa
Cacciato dal Brasile, Boal si trasferì a Parigi, esportando le sue idee in Europa. Se in origine questo metodo era principalmente un mezzo per rendere coscienti le persone rispetto ai conflitti sociali, nella sua interpretazione europea il Teatro dell'Oppresso è stato utilizzato per lavorare sui conflitti personali.

Alcune delle tecniche, in particolare quella del flic-dans-la-tête nascono da laboratori annuali svolti proprio a Parigi nel 1980 assieme agli animatori del Centre du Theatre de l'Opprimé per rispondere a una domanda nuova: come si possono affrontare col Teatro dell'Oppresso le questioni più interiori, in cui «il problema è nella persona più che nella situazione», senza cadere in una psicoterapia individuale ma tenendo fede ai principi del TdO di essere una ricerca collettiva di liberazione?

Boal, come racconta auto-ironicamente negli stage, arriva in Europa nel 1979 abituato a confrontarsi con oppressioni molto visibili e concrete, basate sulla violenza, la forza, la prevaricazione. Propone i suoi stage in Francia e poi ovunque e gli occidentali portano in essi oppressioni a lui sconosciute: solitudine, impotenza, confusione, malessere interiore... Boal prima rifiuta di trattare queste questioni e chiede
«ma dove sono i poliziotti? Dove sono gli oppressori?»
e infine si arrende alla realtà e afferma:
Anche qui in Europa ci sono oppressioni, ma sono più nascoste, più sottili; anche qui la gente sta male, al punto che si toglie la vita per questo; dobbiamo scoprire gli oppressori; essi sono nella testa».

Da qui nascono le prime tecniche come I poliziotti e i loro anticorpi, L'arcobaleno del desiderio, L'immagine analitica ecc. che esplorano l'interiorità della persona per far emergere e portare in scena davanti a tutti, gli oppressori interni che sono stati, in passato, persone reali subite dal protagonista e che ora sono nascosti nella sua mente sotto forma di immagini di divieto, terrore, seduzione, impotenza, ecc. Le tecniche mirano a portare fuori questi flic perché il protagonista possa riconoscerli e affrontarli teatralmente, ma anche perché il gruppo possa lavorare e allenarsi a lottare contro gli stessi impedimenti.

Le tecniche partono da un racconto iniziale del protagonista seguito dalla costruzione di immagini proposte da lui e/o dal pubblico e da improvvisazioni in un caleidoscopio di relazioni a più livelli (reale e simbolico e fantastico e grottesco...) che permettono un'esplorazione ricca di suggestioni.

Tematiche e tecniche

Tutte le tecniche del TdO rappresentano una forma di educazione popolare basata sulla comunità, che usa il teatro come strumento per il cambiamento sociale a livello individuale , locale e globale. Tecniche che sono utilizzate in oltre 100 paesi in vari ambiti di attivismo sociale e politico, di risoluzione dei conflitti, di costruzione di comunità, di terapia, riabilitazione, sensibilizzazione e anche per creare legislazione. Progettato per i non-attori, il Tdo utilizza il linguaggio universale del teatro come un mezzo per indagare la vita da parte di persone e comunità intere, di identificare i loro sogni e reinventare il loro futuro.

Il TdO invita al pensiero critico e al dialogo. Si tratta di analizzare, dare risposte, agire e interagire e non solo di parlare. Parallelamente a Jacob Levi Moreno, che negli anni Venti del Novecento formulò prima a Vienna e poi in America,  i metodi dello psicodramma e del sociodramma, Boal sviluppò autonomamente una visione rivoluzionaria del teatro in cui non gli autori ma gli spett-attori potessero diffondere il messaggio di critica sociale. Boal inventò varie tecniche basate sull'interazione tra spettattori e attori. Lo scopo è di incoraggiare le persone alla cittadinanza attiva e per partecipare in modo incisivo alla vita politica e sociale. I cambiamenti sociopolitici influenzano la vita di tutti e tutti possono cooperare al cambiamento della società.

Uno dei motivi della popolarità del TdO è l'idea di attivare lo spettatore (chiamato appunto spett/attore), ponendolo al centro del lavoro teatrale, al fine di includere differenti rappresentazioni della realtà ed esplorarne possibili trasformazioni in forma creativa e socializzata.

T1ρ relaxation imaging is a quantitative imaging technique that has been used to assess cartilage integrity, liver fibrosis, tumors, cardiac infarction, and Alzheimer's disease. T1, T2, and T1ρ relaxation time constants have each demonstrated different degrees of sensitivity to several markers of fibrosis and inflammation, allowing for a potential multi-parametric approach to tissue quantification. Traditional magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) has been shown to provide quick, quantitative mapping of T1 and T2 relaxation time constants. In this study, T1ρ relaxation is added to the MRF framework using spin lock preparations. An MRF sequence involving an RF-spoiled sequence with TR, flip angle, T1ρ, and T2 preparation variation is described. The sequence is then calibrated against conventional T1, T2, and T1ρ relaxation mapping techniques in agar phantoms and the abdomens of four healthy volunteers. Strong intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC > 0.9) were found between conventional and MRF sequences in phantoms and also in healthy volunteers (ICC > 0.8). The highest ICC correlation values were seen in T1, followed by T1ρ and then T2. In this study, T1ρ relaxation has been incorporated into the MRF framework by using spin lock preparations, while still fitting for T1 and T2 relaxation time constants. The acquisition of these parameters within a single breath hold in the abdomen alleviates the issues of movement between breath holds in conventional techniques.

At most priestly ordinations, we would have a reading from the letter to the Hebrews and we would have the responsorial psalm of today which says 'You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedech.' But who is Melchizedeck? Why in his line? How did he become a priest and what is so special about his priesthood?
Before we continue, it is important to understand that when the letter to the Hebrews speaks about a priest, it does so on three levels. On the one hand, it is referring to the priesthood of all baptized persons. Every baptized person is a priest, a prophet and a king. So, lay people should not think that 'You are a priest forever' only refers to Reverend Fathers and Bishops. But because Reverend Fathers and Bishops have been called for a special task and given a special office, this reading refers to them in a more direct way. However, whenever we hear about the High Priest, it is referring to Jesus Christ Himself. So, 'You are a priest forever' speaks first to Jesus Christ, before it speaks to anyone else. Jesus is the eternal high priest, and every other priest only shares in that priesthood.
But what has all of this got to do with Melchizedeck. Melchizedeck is an Old Testament figure who prefigures the priesthood of Christ in several ways. First, he was not a Levite, which means he did not come from the family of priests. In Old Testament days, only Levites could become priests. But according to our first reading, these priests offer repeated and endless sacrifices which can never take away sins. Christ is the eternal priest who offers a single sacrifice that takes away our sins. Secondly, Melchizedeck is said to have no father or mother, to have no beginning or end. This is also the identity of Christ, who even though He has a biological mother on earth, has an origin which is eternal. This is why He declares that even before Abraham, He already existed. Because He is eternal, His sacrifice is also eternal.
Thirdly, Melchizedech's name means 'King of Righteousness', and so is Jesus. The Levitical priests were sinful themselves, so if they offered sacrifices for the sins of the world, they would also need someone to offer a sacrifice for their own sins, and this leads to an endless circle. Jesus is the sinless one who is capable of offering a sacrifice, without needing a sacrifice offered on His own behalf. Fourthly, the sacrifices offered by the Levitical priests involved the shedding of blood and the killing of so many animals. Jesus shed His blood once and for all on the cross and in the Holy Mass, this sacrifice is carried on by the sacrifice of bread and wine, which is what Melchizedeck used when he offered sacrifices in the book of Genesis.
The fifth point is that there were many Levitical priests, but Melchizedeck is one, and so is Jesus. Even though we have many people we call priests in the Catholic Church, we believe that there is only one priest, Jesus Christ. This is why we can say 'You are a priest forever'. One would not say that to someone you know will die one day. But the priesthood of Jesus Christ is eternal. Every other priest, including all baptized christians, share in that one priesthood of Jesus Christ. Also, there was a big issue about whether Melchizedeck was circumcised or not. It is hard to say about a man whose origin is unknown. The Midrash resolves this matter by saying that he was circumcised from birth. This becomes a foretaste of the salvation which Jesus has won for us, which included both Jews and Gentiles, circumcised and uncircumcised. Baptism becomes our form of circumcision.
The same applies to the kingship and the prophethood of Jesus Christ. We see Jesus in the gospel sitting in the boat and teaching the people, and so does the priest at every Holy Mass. This is the prophetic ministry. So, when the priest preaches, he does not do so on his own authority. In fact, he has no authority of his own. He does so from the authority of that one prophet, Jesus Christ. Whether the priest is preaching or offering the sacrifice of the Eucharist, he does so with the understanding that there is only one priest, and all he does is share in that priesthood. It is all about Jesus and to him does the saying ultimately go 'You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedeck.
When a man is ordained, he lies prostrate as a sign of total surrender and as a sign of death. He is to die to himself and Christ lives in him and works through him. He is no longer to do his own thing, but do Christ's thing. It is no longer his show, but Christ's show. It is not his priesthood, but the priesthood of Jesus Christ.
