Scottish City Looks To Silence Obnoxious 'Silent' Discos: 'There Is A Lot Of Whooping'
Melanie Ehrenkranz
A city council in Scotland is considering a crack down on "silent discos," which residents have complained are too loud—making them just regular discos, I guess.
According to the Telegraph, the Edinburgh City Council is examining how to reign in the events after increased complaints that they are too noisy and put people at risk of walking into traffic. "There is a lot of whooping and screaming, especially when you have 40 women on a hen party," said councillor Jo Mowatt, the Telegraph reports. "There is also the safety aspect as who is going to have to step in the road due to the groups taking up the pavements?"
Mowatt said that "many" constituents have reached out to her about the issue, one that she claims the Old Town Community Council has been dealing with for "around nine months".
Silent discos involve a group of people dancing to music they are listening to through wireless headphones rather than a publicly audible speaker system. According to the Herald Scotland, Jay Feeney, marketing director of Silent Adventures, said that his company is the only group running silent discos in Edinburgh year-round, and blames the city's fringe festival for complaints about the gatherings.
Feeney said that during the Fringe — an annual event promoted as "the largest arts festival in the world"—there were several other silent disco tours going on. "I feel this is a bit of a punishment from the aftermath of the Fringe," he said. "Some of them looked a bit out of control."
One annual Fringe event, a silent disco led by Australian entertainer Guru Dudu, was covered by the Scotsman last year as "anything but silent."
Mowatt told the Herald that the council might be able to find existing statutes to regulate the events, complaining that the city's current approach is ineffective. "The current legislation does not serve the residents of the city who never get a break from activity such as this," she said.
Edinburgh wouldn't be the first city to block silent discos for making too much noise. In 2016, the Swiss city of Lausanne denied the application for organisers of the aptly named For Noise Festival which planned on holding two silent discos. And in 2014, the Austrian city of Salzburg wouldn't renew the licence for a silent disco in a public park, also because they were found to be "too loud and wild."

Hot on the heels of the last version, we are pleased to announce the release of Bokeh 0.12.9!
This release also contains several bugfixes and docs additions. For full details, see the CHANGELOG and Release Notes. Additionally, examples for each release are uploaded to CDN. Click here to download.
First a quick note. You may have noticed that this announcement is not for 0.12.8 as expected. Last night, about 10 minutes after the release build finished, a showstopper issue was discovered. A "re-release" was attempted but was not possible. So here we are, early, at 0.12.9!
This problem was caught by the extremely astute and eager user @Pierretherenard. I very much appreciate their help late last night to resolve things, and also want stress: if you are an active Bokeh user, please always help us test by installing and trying out dev builds and release candidates. The more eyes there are on things, the more likely issues can be caught earlier, and that is better for everyone.
Now on to the fun bits!
In case you missed it, the first ever JupyterCon was recently held in New York. One of the big topics of discussion there was JupyerLab, which is the next generation of the Jupyter UI. JupyterLab is a robust and extensible framework that includes a new Notebook component, built from the ground up.
The extension supports standalone plots and embedded Bokeh server applications. Updating plots via bokeh.io.push_notebook is not yet supported in JupyterLab, but will be soon. You can follow progress towards getting this feature working at issue #6619.
The Bokeh protocol has iterated and improved over the years. In the beginning, Bokeh's approach was simply to "JSON all the things". This was OK to start but quickly ran into performance issues when dealing with things like RGBA image data. Last year a Base64 encoding option was added for arrays, which offered a significant improvement. But the eventual goal has always been to offer a pure binary transport option for arrays when possible. I am happy to say that this long standing planned feature has been implemented.
In order to make some improvements for the long term, a few small, immediate breaking changes were unavoidable. It is not expected they will affect many users, but please consult the Release Notes carefully.
As of this Release, Python 3.4 support is no longer maintained under test. Python 2.7 and 3.5+ are the officially supported versions. It is very likely that Bokeh will continue to function as expected with Python 3.4 but we no longer run the continuous testing suite against it.
Lastly, a very loud warning has been added to session.loop_until_closed. It was never the intention that using bokeh.client to run application code outside a Bokeh server be considered a "real" way to do anything. However, mentioning this on the mailing list and Stack Overflow has not been sufficiently discouraging. The new warning outlines the many drawbacks of using bokeh.client in this way. To drive the point home all models/server and plotting/server examples will be removed from GitHub after this release.
In order to avoid the overhead and risk of "big releases", we plan to have more, smaller releases until 1.0 is ready.
As we get closer to a Bokeh 1.0 release, I'd like to thank the 250 total contributors who have helped make Bokeh such an amazing project. As always, for technical questions or assistance, please post to the Bokeh Mailing List and the General Chat Channel. Or, if you're interested in helping out, drop by the Dev Chat Channel!

"Tourists be Alert," Say Attorneys in Las Vegas
Las Vegas is a major city, with an array of tourists each day, which means crime is more apparent. Crimes can spike in high tourist seasons say many attorneys in Las Vegas. While the city has gone to great lengths to ensure that proper measures are taken to inhibit crime, it does happen to the most unsuspecting tourists nonetheless. While most tourists, especially those traveling abroad, endure theft and scams, it's also a commonality in the U.S. cities as well. An entire catalogue of books and personal web blogs are devoted to the subject of travel safety; some even detail the places to avoid in certain areas. However, any tourist knows that going to an unknown city means there will be unknown circumstances. Sometimes those circumstances are interesting and eventful and sometimes they are dangerous and criminal.
One mother is detailing her daughter's struggles after she was attacked in Las Vegas recently. The daughter was from Utah and has reportedly been vacationing as a tourist in the area. The attack affected not only the daughter but three others as well. The daughter, who was stabbed during the confrontation, will survive but will endure more tests and medical care back in Utah to ensure her health is fully recovered from the effects of the attack. Luckily the attacker was caught and will face several charges including possession of a deadly weapon.
It's not surprising to many living in a big city that these situations can happen and often times tourists are the most likely victims of such crimes, say many lawyers Las Vegas depends on for such legal questions. According to surveys, tourists are often easy to spot, since they are constantly checking directions, have larger amounts of cash or funds and are unfamiliar with which areas to avoid. While most tourists attain insurance, circumstances can often deter justice. It's important for any victim of such a crime to retain an experienced attorney who is familiar with the legal workings surrounding these types of cases. If you have a similar situation and need legal assistance regarding your claims or other legal issues contact a lawyer Las Vegas can depend on. We offer free consultation, which can be set up at your convenience by calling (702) 478-7770.

As more PCB assemblers become aware of the value of regular process monitoring, the frequency of thermal profiling is increasing dramatically. High temperature solder is recognized in the SMT industry as the most reliable method of attaching thermocouples for thermal profiling. Unfortunately, high temperature soldering of thermocouples is extremely time consuming and usually damages the board profiled to the point that it must be scrapped. Alternatives to the conventional method of thermocouple attachment, especially those that do not require a sacrificial board, can lessen the "pain" associated with thermal profiling in terms of both labor and material costs. The inspiration for this experiment came from a visit to Solectron's new Everett WA plant. High temperature solder had always been our standard method of attaching thermocouple for thermal profiling, but at Solectron they were using aluminum tape. Solectron told us they had tested this method and determined it was repeatable and gave results similar to soldered TC's. We have been evaluating alternative methods of attaching TC's for several years, and have yet to find an inexpensive method we felt comfortable using or recommending to our customers. After our visit to Solectron, we initiated this experiment to determine if aluminum tape was a reasonable alternative to high temperature solder.
This paper will discuss the results of a thorough comparison of the various methods of attaching thermocouples to a printed circuit board for thermal profiling. The focus will be on non-destructive attachment methods and how well they compare to the standard method of attachment using high temperature solder. Several queries posted on Technet have convinced us that we have included the majority of methods currently being used in the SMT Industry.
The attachment methods compared are high temperature solder, Aluminum Tape, Kapton tape, and Conductive Epoxy. The repeatability of each attachment method will be analyzed, and comparisons will be made between the various attachment methods. Comparison criteria includes the variation of key profile statistics such as peak temperature, maximum rising slope, and time above reflow. Results will be compared to establish which methods offer: high repeatability, ease of use, and most closely replicate the results attained with high temperature solder.
High Temperature Soldering is widely acknowledged as the most reliable method of attaching thermocouples to printed circuit boards. Done correctly, it is a permanent means of attaching TC's, and creates a "Golden Board" that can be used for between five and thirty profiles before the PCB material begins to deteriorate from thermal stress and a new "Golden Board" needs to be made up. High temperature soldering is time consuming, requires a special high temperature soldering iron, and some people find it difficult to get a good thermally conductive solder joint. Soldering and unsoldering the TC joint also has the potential to damage the board, and if the board is used for multiple runs, it will have to eventually be scrapped.
The alternative methods to be evaluated in this experiment are: Aluminum Tape, Kapton tape, and Conductive Epoxy.
Aluminum tape used in combination with Kapton tape provides a secure connection with good thermal conductivity. The Aluminum tape is cut with scissors to a size of approximately 1/8 x 1/8 inch and is used to secure the thermocouple to the PCB. The Aluminum taped connection is then overlaid with a 1/4″ piece of Kapton tape to prevent lifting.
Kapton tape is an electrical tape with good thermal conductivity. The Kapton tape is cut with scissors to a size of approximately 1/8 x 1/8 inch and is used to secure the thermocouple to the PCB.
Conductive Epoxy: We tested a popular adhesive system for wire tacking on a PCB. The system consists of two parts: instant adhesive and accelerator. The instant adhesive is dropped over the thermocouple junction, then the accelerator is sprayed over the adhesive. Within 5 seconds the wire is fixed in place.
Aluminum Tape is also a simple method of attaching TC's to PCB's, however the Aluminum tape must be overlaid with Kapton to prevent lifting.
Kapton tape is a simple and inexpensive method of attaching TC's to PCB's.
Conductive Epoxy was the simplest method for attaching TC's. The cure time is only 5 seconds.
This experiment was designed to test various methods of thermocouple attachment to PCB's for thermal profiling and compare them against high temperature solder attachment.
Four identical printed circuit boards were used for testing. The boards were populated, material was FR4, and dimensions were 11.25″ x 8.25″. The first board was instrumented with 12 thermocouples, paired at precise locations on the board, and all connected by high temperature solder. From this board a realistic thermal relationship between each test point was established. The other three test PCB's were instrumented with 6 thermocouples attached using high temperature solder and 6 thermocouples attached using one of the three alternative attachment methods. All boards utilized identical test points, with odd numbered thermal couples being soldered and even numbered thermocouples being alternative methods (see Figure 1). Each test PCB was run through a Research Thermoflow 6 six zone forced convection oven five times, for a total of 20 thermal profiles.
Reliability data on each method was collected as the profiles were run. When the 20 profiles were completed, the statistical data consisting of: Peak temperature, Maximum rising slope, and Total time above 183C, was extracted and pasted into MS Excel. Using MS Excel, the statistical differences were then calculated, charted, and evaluated.
This test board consists of 12 type K thermocouples attached using high temperature solder. The thermocouples are arranged in pairs and each pair is positioned to read the same temperatures. This pairing of thermocouples will measure the repeatability of the temperature measurements from the soldered thermocouples. The three test boards following this one measure how alternative attachment methods compare to high temperature solder.
After the 12 thermocouples have been attached to PCB #1, the board will then be tested by running 5 thermal profiles. Using data from the 5 thermal profiles the following statistical information will be extracted: Peak temperature, Maximum rising slope, and Total time above 183C. The statistical data will then be compared.
All thermocouples stayed connected to test board. No repairs necessary.
During all 5 profiles, all 12 thermocouples stayed connected to the test board. No repairs were necessary.
Peak temperatures proved to be within an average of 1.8 Celsius, total time above 183 Celsius proved to be within an average of 1.02 seconds of each other, and maximum rising slope within an average of 0.53 Celsius/second.
These values will be used as a baseline for comparison of each attachment method. Each attachment method will be compared via statistical value, repeatability, and solidity.
This test board consists of six pairs of type K thermocouples. The first thermocouple of each pair is attached using high temperature solder, and the second is attached using Chomerics T405 Aluminum tape.
The six pairs thermocouples were attached to the PCB in pre-determined locations that should see identical temperatures during the reflow process. After the 12 thermocouples have been attached to PCB #2, the board will be tested by running 5 thermal profiles. Using data from the 5 thermal profiles the following statistical information will be extracted: Peak temperature, Maximum rising slope, and Total time above 183C. The statistical data will then be compared.
Thermocouple # 10(AL tape), slightly lifted. Necessary repairs made.
Thermocouple # 8(AL tape), slightly lifted. Necessary repairs made.
Thermocouple # 8, & # 10(both AL tape), slightly lifted. Necessary repairs made.
Thermocouple # 10(AL tape), slightly lifted. No repairs necessary.
The Aluminum tape is easy to apply and removal is easy as well. The Aluminum tape is non-destructive and leaves no scars or residuals.
Peak temperatures proved to be within an average of 3.10 Celsius, total time above 183 Celsius proved to be within an average of 4.38 seconds of each other, and maximum rising slope within an average of 0.40 Celsius/second.
This test board consists of six pairs type K thermocouples. The first thermocouple of each pair is attached using high temperature solder, and the second is attached using Kapton tape.
All taped thermocouples had slight lift. All taped thermocouples repressed.
All taped thermocouples had slight lift. All taped thermocouples repressed. #12 tape replaced.
All taped thermocouples had slight lift.
The Kapton tape is easy to apply. At lower temperatures Kapton may hold better, however at normal reflow temperatures the tape slightly lifted during each profile.
Peak temperatures proved to be within an average of 4.62 Celsius, total time above 183 Celsius proved to be within an average of 4.47 seconds of each other, and maximum rising slope within an average of 5.66 Celsius/second.
This test board consists of six pairs of type K thermocouples. The first thermocouple of each pair is attached using high temperature solder, and the second is attached using Loctite, Tak Pak 382 Adhesive.
All thermocouple attached using Loctite adhesive are very brittle. All junctions replaced.
Thermocouples 6, 10, and 12 all had slight lift. Replace junctions for #'s 6,10, and 12.
Thermocouples 8, 10, and 12 had slight lift. Each junction replaced.
Thermocouple #10 completely unattached from PCB.
Conductive Epoxy is very easy to work with. This Adhesive sets in 5 seconds. I noticed that the adhesive became very brittle after only one profile. I had to reattach the thermocouples after each profile. The conductive epoxy removes easily after it has been exposed to the reflow cycle. The manufacturer suggests a specific solvent for removing the Conductive Epoxy, but it was not available for this test.
Peak temperatures proved to be within an average of 4.74 Celsius, total time above 183 Celsius proved to be within an average of 8.04 seconds of each other, and maximum rising slope within an average of 0.91 Celsius/second.
Aluminum Tape, when used with Kapton Tape, is simple, effective, and reliable. There was slight lifting of a few TC's during the profile, but the profile results indicate that the effect of this on overall profile accuracy was minor. Aluminum Tape is a completely non-destructive.
Kapton Tape is the simplest and least expensive method of attaching TC's to PCB's. It is also the least reliable. The fact that all TC's attached with Kapton tape lifted during profiling indicates that this is not a reliable method of attaching thermocouples.
Conductive Epoxy is a quick, simple, and relatively inexpensive way of attaching TC's. It works in tight locations where tape cannot be used, but breaks down after a single profiling run.
The graphs below represent the statistical results of the experiment and compare the tested methods of attaching thermocouples.
Statistics were compiled from the data files recorded on each of the 20 profiling runs. The data was pasted into an Excel spreadsheet and the resulting Deltas calculated in the Excel spreadsheet. Average, Standard Deviation, and Range Deltas were calculated for each method of attaching thermocouples. The lower the calculated Deltas, the more repeatable the method of thermocouple attachment is.
High temperature solder was found to be the most reliable and repeatable method of attaching thermocouples to PCB's.
Aluminum Tape provides a reliable alternative to high temperature solder, though it is slightly less repeatable.
Kapton Tape is not reliable or repeatable.
Conductive Epoxy is reliable for a single profiling run, but offers poor repeatability Its thermal conductivity is very inconsistent, and the results of these profiles do not seem accurate or reliable.
It was found that of the three alternative methods for attaching thermocouples to PCB's, none are as repeatable as high temperature solder. This was not a surprise.
What was a pleasant surprise was the reliability and repeatability of aluminum tape. Aluminum tapes offers users of pass-through profilers a simple, inexpensive, and nondestructive method of attaching thermocouples to PCBs for thermal profiling. Using Aluminum tape reduces the amount of effort and expense required to obtain a accurate thermal profile, and this is a step forward in terms of both quality control and yield for SMT manufacturers.

Should Automakers Be More Like Apple and Google?
Chris Wiltz
There was a time when someone mentioned cars and most people thought of the Big Three -- GM, Ford, and Chrysler. Then Japanese manufacturers like Toyota and Nissan came into the mix. Then BMW, Audi, and so on ... now you even add Tesla to the list.
But there are two other companies breaking into the automotive space who are having a major impact on how automakers think about their products -- Apple and Google.
If you have a newer vehicle you probably already have Apple or Google in your dashboard either in the form of Apple Car Play or Android Auto. It's no secret that Google is leading the way in self-driving cars, and if the rumors are true Apple is pulling in automative engineering talent from all over to create an automobile of its own. So in an age where a search engine giant and a consumer software/hardware company are playing around in the automotive space, automakers are facing an interesting question: Should they be functioning more like software companies?
"Apple and Google are fundamentally in the in-vehicle infotainment space and to that end I think they're well positioned in that space,"Anthony Reyes, director of strategy and partnerships for PSA Peugeot Citroen, told a panel audience at IoT World 2016. "This is a force that's coming. We all have handhelds that we probably hold all day long that are iOS- and Android-based. We've been immersed in that environment every single day ... [Automakers] have got to figure out how do we adjust to that and focus on the consumer and what they really want."
Others on the panel, "How to Behave Like Apple and Google," agreed it will be customer demand that drives any major shifts that automakers make. "It's up to the auto industry to have a quick understanding of what the future needs are and how to adopt to them. And this is something we can learn from Apple and Google." Uwe Higgen, head of the group technology office, USA for BMW, said.
Higgen said mobility isn't just about vehicles anymore and consumers' experience have evolved beyond simply purchasing a car, bike, or whatever their preferred mode of transportation is. The success of ride-sharing apps like Uber and Lyft has transformed mobility into a service. Of course there has always been public transportation, but never on-demand in the scale we're seeing today.

Enter promo NY16DN for a FREE Expo pass & 20% off Industry 4.0 Conference.
And consumer psychology simply expects different things from a service. Think of the car in your garage. Now instead of thinking of it as your car, think of it as a service provider. If we move to a world of ubiquitous connected and autonomous cars, the entire concept of vehicle ownership will change. Why own a car when you can call a self-driving vehicle on demand via your phone? GM is already laying the groundwork for this through it's Maven program, which is creating the infrastructure for a network of self-driving cars that will be available to rent.
It's this shift in customer thinking that John Ellis, managing director of the consultancy Ellis & Associates and former global technologist and head of the Ford Developer Program, said he believes will be driving customers to demand more from their vehicles in the way of upgradabilty, development, and even customization. "When we talk about the customer and what customers want certainly one of the things that comes to mind is the ability to take what they give and extend, modify, and add to it whether that's through apps or your own development," Ellis said. "Apple and Google represent an entire thinking that allows the end customer, whether that's a company or a person, to extend and modify what they buy pretty much ad infinitum."
Aftermarket Thinking
For car enthusiasts, if this is beginning to sound like the aftermarket, you're right. Unfortunately, car manufacturers don't really think about the aftermarket. "[They] don't even know it exists," Ellis said.
But a car just isn't as easily updatable as your phone or even your computer (and certainly not as cheaply). "The entrance of the consumer giants changed the world," panelist Dietmar Meister, general manager of Bosch Car Multimedia, said. "What I would say is most relevant is how much broader the value chain has become. Previously it was focused on producing and developing hardware devices; producing cars, selling cars, that's it -- with a bit of maintenance thrown in.
"Now there is so much behind what we see from Lyft and Uber, including business models and services. We can't go to software one hundred percent, [automakers] still provide products that have liability and need to be reliable. But to some extent we are leaning from [Apple and Google] for functionality."

Bâtiment Jacques Delors Building, Rue Belliard 99, Brussels
With the "New Deal for Consumers" package launched in April, the Commission is currently carrying out an ambitious societal outreach and public debate on consumer concerns in the form of the bottom-up National Consumer Dialogues, to listen to and engage with stakeholders from civil society. These Dialogues are a platform where citizens can say what they expect from the New Deal and give their views on the questions that concern them. They have already taken place in 10 Member States.As a follow-up to the Consumer Dialogues, "Les Assises des Consommateurs", the 2018 Consumer Summit will showcase the results of this outreach and offer the opportunity for debate and conclusions. This event will be organised by the European Commission and the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) on 28 November, at the EESC premises in Brussels, and will also be web-streamed. "Les Assises des Consommateurs" will bring together the expertise of representatives from the Civil Society, National Authorities, Academia as well as consumer and business organisations and citizens.
Being the conclusive event of the National Consumer Dialogues, "Les Assises des Consommateurs" is organised to allow participants from said Dialogues to present the opinions gathered in the National Consumer Dialogues. Finally, "Les Assises des Consommateurs" will provide a platform for tackling the challenges of Consumer Policy in Europe and bring forward the New Deal proposal.

Citizens from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador make up the majority of those crossing the border.
The letter questioned why the president of Mexico wasn't being blamed for the influx of his citizens pouring into the USA. But the majority of immigrants coming into our country are not from Mexico.
Citizens from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador make up the majority of those crossing the border. These countries have very poor economies, violent crime due to drug trafficking, and violent street gangs.
The USA should be working with Central American nations to rectify conditions causing their people to seek safety in a foreign land, which would end undocumented immigration into the USA.

ABOUT THE MUSEUM LIBRARY PRESS OUR FRIENDS

National Museum of Slovenia
The National Museum of Slovenia is the oldest museum institution in Slovenia. Its mission is to protect, evaluate, research, interpret, exhibit and present the national cultural heritage, and to interact with the public. The idea of founding a national museum goes way back in the past, with the first steps taken by baron Sigismund Zois von Edelstein and the key figures of the enlightenment movement. The beginning of the French administration and foundation of the Illyrian Provinces had somewhat postponed the far-reaching intention. The direct initiative, however, was given in 1821 by the participants of the famous Congress of Ljubljana, who pointed out that Carniola had no museum of its own. They had passed the proposal on to the provincial estates (Landstände), who made a decision on 15 October 1821 to establish a provincial museum. They issued an announcement emphasising that this cultural institution will collect all artefacts of the creativity of the nation, history of the region, national literature, man-made artefacts and the priceless reaches of nature. Already in the first decade, they received precious gifts – artworks and artefacts from different donors; among them were the antiques of mayor Hradeczky, the numismatic collection of Jože Repežič, the ethnographic collection of bishop Baraga and reverent Knoblehar, the Zois' mineral collection, Hohenwart's sea-shell collection and other artefacts. The collection also expanded due to important and amazing archaeological discoveries – Vače, Ljubljansko barje (Ljubljana Marshes), Šmarjeta, Mokronog, Drnovo near Krško and many more. The Provincial Museum initially had its quarters in Pogačnik House in the Salendrova ulica (Salender Street) in Ljubljana; but already in October 1831, the Museum had its grand opening in the Lyceum building. There was a breakthrough for the Museum in 1882, when the Provincial Assembly decided to start construction works for a new museum building. On 14 July 1883, they laid a corner stone for the modern museum building.
Today, as we celebrate the 200th anniversary, we are looking at the past and shaping a vision of the future. It is the ambition of the Museum employees to connect our history with the present and the future, and to present it to a broader circle of enthusiasts by means of modern information technologies, and to follow our mission nobly and honourably. It is our duty to preserve the historic monuments for the next generations, and to continue genuine, respectful and direct dialogue with the public. Let the honourable jubilee be an opportunity for new directions, ideas, challenges and hope.

Interview with Stéphane Olry, Corine Miret and Bernadette Marthelot
H: What surprised you and what didn't you expect from your visit to London?
C: To walk so much!
S: The way people work here is quite different, there is a rhythm of working, the way you make decisions. For instance, in France we decide everything for the next season very early. And we discovered that here many things can be decided around three months before. This is impossible in France. Also the time devoted to rehearsals is quite short [in London]. And to know that we can cast around two months ahead was quite surprising… In France if you ask an actor if he or she is free in the next month, you have to be really lucky for him or her to say yes. .
B: I have a similar impression. I don't know if it is true but for me it seems that things here are done quicker here and then, because of that, in a simpler way.
H: My next question was going to be about your impressions of theatre here. Maybe you have something to add to what you said already?
C: There really is another way to make and show theatre. We visited Soho Theatre, The Print Room and Park Theatre. There is so much going on. The adventure of Park Theatre with its two stages and the Soho Theatre with two or three shows going on at the same time… There is really another rhythm, much quicker. And on stage, as we saw in Arthur Miller's piece [The Last Yankee at The Print Room], I think the way of acting is influenced by that. The actors are much more present, they are completely immersed in the action, here and now. In France, sometimes, actors have a distance from the text they are performing…
S: Because they are all very clever!…
C: This can be great sometimes but if you would like to have a more realistic style of acting, it can be really difficult to achieve. If I had seen this piece in France, I probably wouldn't have liked it because the acting style is completely different there. But here, it was very well done and really pleasant.
H: What motivated you to make work for London and has this motivation changed in any way after this week?
S: Yes. Some of the meetings we had were really interesting, we found people who really excited us and made us want to work with them or in that particular space. We felt like we could have an adventure together.
C: I don't know if it has changed but it is definitely more concrete now. Especially after meeting Neil and seeing his connection to the text simply from reading it. I think now we can also imagine how the piece we have created could be different. We thought that maybe the actor could be a man instead of a woman. So it really is a new process, it's not just giving the text to another person to recreate it in the same way as I did but a completely new piece. I can see this now after meeting all these people this week.
H: Are there any elements that would discourage you from working here, what are the challenges for you personally?
C: It is a big challenge for us to work in English, to direct someone in English. But we trust you, it seems like you and Theatre of Europe are the right way to make this project happen.
S: Of course, there is always the risk of failing and the challenge is not to.
C: Maybe the challenge would be whether we are able to work as fast as you are used to here. We usually take a lot more time. But that is also exciting.
S: There is a thing, you might call it a challenge. In our work we play with the audience. But we wouldn't know anything about the audience before the opening night. It's always difficult to know how people will react but here we don't know anything at all. We don't know the cultural 'codes' of the audience, in the same way as we do in France. We also found out that the way we make work and the type of work we make – the diptych – is quite unusual here. And that presents a challenge both for you, for the audiences here, and for us.
H: How did you get along with your secret mission?
S: Oh, my secret mission with the Craven A! I did not find anything. If someone knows where to find Craven A cigarettes without filter, please let me know, I am willing to pay!
C: But you know where the factory is.
S: Yes, it is in North West London and it is a big factory with a great statue of Anubis in the Egyptian style. If somebody is living in the northwest suburbs of London, maybe they can go to the factory and see if they still make Craven A without filter… thank you!
H: And my final question is, could you imagine yourselves developing more work beyond this project for London?
C: I haven't thought about this. Of course it would be possible but we would definitely have to stay a lot longer.
S: I think London is a very interesting place to work for me. There is a spirit of freedom and for us it is a kind of liberation, it is less heavy than France.
C: And maybe more joyful.
S: Yes, more joyful as well. There is more energy, a desire to do things and a curiosity. In the UK there is definitely something to discover about working with actors.
H: Thank you.

Greer Pester is a Scottish visual artist and creative workshop facilitator who lives between Glasgow and Mexico City.She graduated from Edinburgh College Of Art in 2010 and has participated in residencies and exhibitions in Hungary, USA , Senegal and Mexico.
This body of work was developed during her most recent time in Mexico: October 2015 – August 2016, during which time she has been working with First Food Residency to develop a creative and educational outreach program focusing on 'future' and native foods from Mexico. Whilst carrying out research there around food culture, folklore and history, she found ties to motifs in her own artistic practice.
'Alive with pleasure' looks at the innate elements of life which make us feel most human. A colourful observation of the raw, fleshy and juicy areas of life that feed the soul.Through symbology around food, Greer examines sexuality, intimacy, fertility and taste.
She uses paper-cut designs and collage pinned on foam card and cork interlaced with hand painted visuals, tactile media and text to convey some grander musings on how we connect to our more essential human state.

Home News The legacy of violence
The legacy of violence
Johann Kikillus and Ishmael Sabodien talking about solutions for their gang-ravaged community.
Gangsters are giving guns to kids in Ocean View, roping them into a bloody turf war that has cost at least five lives in less than a month.
Police confirmed this to the Echo this week, following yet another gang-related shooting that claimed the life of a 52-year old man and left a 36-year-old wounded.
Police say the shootings are prompted by gangsters fighting for top-ranking positions and rivals' turf after the leaders of three gangs in the area were arrested for attempted murder.
Ocean View police spokesman Sergeant Leon Fortuin said two gang leaders had been arrested last year and one in April this year. They are awaiting trial.
The man killed in Arries Avenue at 8.15pm on Sunday night was not the target of the shooting, nor was the wounded man, said police. They had not been named because their families had not been informed, said police.
Police have no suspects and those responsible for the shootings are still at large. Sergeant Fortuin confirmed reports of 12 year olds running with guns in the area and shooting randomly at people.
He said gangsters gave the children guns to fight for turf to sell their drugs.
He told how last Friday the mother of a 29-year-old arrested with a gun had argued her son was only keeping it for someone else.
"The police tried to explain to her that that, in itself, was a crime and the charge against her son was illegal possession of a firearm, not ownership of a firearm, but she still shouted at the police saying her son is innocent. This happens on a regular basis," Sergeant Fortuin said.
He urged people to come forward with information about crime and report it to Ocean View SAPS at 021 783 8300 or Crime Stop at 08600 10111.
"By keeping quiet, the community is assisting the gangsters to get away with their crimes," he said.
On Tuesday, police patrolling Neptune Way searched a group of young men and arrested a 16-year-old carrying a flare gun that had been modified to fire bullets.
They also found a gun loaded with one round.
Meanwhile two Ocean View community leaders say the community's children are deeply traumatised and lack a sense of identity.
Ishmael Sabodien is a member of the South Peninsula Khoi Customary Council, and is known as Ishsaqua. He spent 25 years in environmental education and now runs a programme in Ocean View to re-introduce Khoi descendants to their culture, language and history.
Johann Kikillus is a horticulturist turned Christian minister, and is the director of Soteria Ministeries and the Ocean View Care Centre, where he helps adults and children deal with the trauma of living in a war zone.
Mr Kikillus said that when he started working with troubled youth eight years ago, the average age of the child referred to him was 14, and usually the worst thing they had been up to was smoking dagga.
Every year since, that age had dropped and the trouble they were involved in had grown graver.
"Last week I had a 7 and 8 year old in my office, refusing to go back to school, because they want to join a gang because they can earn money," he said.
Constant exposure to the trauma of violence, gangs and poverty is not a recipe for a happy childhood, and Mr Kikillus said many parents battled to discipline their children – setting boundaries to keep them safe.
Mr Sabodien said Ocean View had a generation of children with no sense of identity, belonging or purpose.
Both Mr Kikillus and Mr Sabodien said it was tragic the children of Ocean View were surrounded by natural beauty that drew visitors from all over the world, yet the children themselves did not get to appreciate it.
The two men want to start taking the children on outings into nature, away from the crime and the trauma. They say there is also a great need for qualified trauma counsellors in Ocean View.
The men want to work with anyone who can help tackle the crisis in their community. In particular, they say, there is a great need for qualified trauma counsellors.
"We want solutions-based discussions and actions. If we want change, we are going to have to make it happen ourselves through positive community collaboration," Mr Kikillus said.
To help in any way contact Johann on 084 280 2213 and johann@soteriaministries.org.za and Ishmael on 084 2216 677.

Two landmark buildings
in Clonmel bookend each
end of O'Connell Street
The Main Guard, Clonmel … built as the Palatinate Court of the Dukes of Ormond (Photograph: Patrick Comerford, 2020)
On the way from Cork to Kilkenny, the second phase of this year's 'Road Trip' brought us to Clonmel in south Co Tipperary. The town grew significantly in mediaeval times, and there are many reminders of the middle ages throughout the streets of Clonmel. A small section of the town walls can still be seen at Old Saint Mary's Church, which dates from the 14th century or earlier.
We arrived into Clonmel through the mediaeval walls at the West Gate, a 19th-century reconstruction of an older building. Originally, there were three gates in the walled town – north, east and west – while the south was protected by the River Suir and the Comeragh Mountains. The area to the west of the town is known as Irishtown.
Two of us stopped for lunch in O'Connell Street, the main street in Clonmel, which is bookended by two prominent, landmark buildings: the West Gate at the west end and the Main Guard at the east end.
The West Gate is an open arched entrance onto O'Connell Street, and the current structure dates from 1831, when it was built by a merchant named Joyce. This is a Tudor Revival style structure and is an imposing feature, dividing the vistas from O'Connell Street and Irishtown.
The West Gate fell into disrepair in the 20th century, prompting local concerns for its restoration. It was re-roofed, the arches were re-enforced with steel beams and the floors were stabilised with steel. Notable features include the crenellations, turret and label-mouldings.
The gate also displays a limestone plaque commemorating Clonmel born author Lawrence Stern, sculpted by Frances Dietrich in 1975.

At the east end of O'Connell Street, the Main Guard is the former courthouse in Clonmel. It was here that the 'main guard' of the troops in Clonmel were once stationed.
During the Siege of Clonmel in 1650, the old Manor Court was destroyed. After the restoration of the Palatinate rights of James Butler, Duke of Ormonde, in Co Tipperary in 1662, he ordered the building of a new courthouse.
This fine, two-storey, symmetrical building, incorporating some elements from works by Sir Christopher Wren, was completed in 1674. The building also included private apartments, a dining room and drawing room. These were used to entertain King James II in Clonmel in 1689. The building was also used as a 'tholsel' for gathering tolls, duties or customs.
The Palatinate jurisdiction of the Dukes of Ormond in Co Tipperary was extinguished in 1715. After that, the building was used by the Clonmel Assizes, and it was there that Father Nicholas Sheehy, the anti-Penal Laws agitator, was tried in 1766. He was hanged, drawn and quartered.
When the new courthouse was built in 1810, all trials were moved from the Main Guard and the building became a barracks. Pigot's Commercial Dictionary noted in 1820 that the building 'is devoted to the use of the soldiery, possesses a good clock, is known by the name of the Main Guard and stands at the entrance into Main Street,' now O'Connell Street.
The ground floor loggia or arcade of open arches was converted into shops around then, the basement was excavated and additional floors were inserted, so that the former courthouse became a market house. For a number of years, the arches were hidden, as Samuel Lewis noted in 1837, 'The ground floor has some years since been converted to shops.'
The Office of Public Works began an award-winning restoration in the 1990s, and the open arcade of sandstone columns and five semi-circular arches is once again an attractive feature of the streetscape.
Today, the Main Guard is a five-bay two-storey building, with an arcaded ground floor and with classical elements, such as the pediment. The columns were recycled from the ruins of Inislounaght Abbey. The building has a handsome clock and bell tower, and the west wall displays the coats of arms of the Borough of Clonmel and of the Ormond Butlers, both bearing the date 1675.
The Main Guard is closed at present, but is normally open to visitors from March to late October.

Church of Christ the King in Cork,
influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright
The Church of Christ the King, Turner's Cross, Cork … Francis Barry Byrne was influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright and pioneering in the use of concrete instead of brick or stone (Photograph: Patrick Comerford, 2020)
The Church of Christ the King in Turner's Cross on the south side of Cork, is one of the most striking 20th century church buildings in the city. The architect, Francis Barry Byrne (1883-1967), was strongly influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, and the large sculpture of Christ the King by John Maguire above the entrance is a landmark work of public art.
As part of the second stage of this year's summer 'Road Trip,' before I left Cork I visited the Church of Christ the King. The was the first and one of the few Irish churches designed by a US architect, and the first Irish church built with concrete instead of brick or stone. It has a seating capacity of 1,200 and has one of the largest suspended-ceilings in any church in Europe.
The church was commissioned in 1927 by Bishop Daniel Cohalan of Cork and designed by the Chicago-based architect Barry Byrne. The church was built at a cost of £30,000 by John Buckley in 1929-1931 and opened on the Feast of Christ the King, Sunday 25 October 1931.
The Feast of Christ the King was then a recent innovation in the Church calendar. It was first suggested at the end of 1925 when Pope Pius XI published an encyclical, Quas Primas, in which he castigated secularism in Europe and declared that the secular powers ought to recognise Christ as King and that the Church needed to recapture this teaching.
At the time, the entire idea of kingship was quickly losing credibility in western societies, not so much to democracy but to burgeoning fascism – Mussolini was in power in Italy since 1922, and a wave of fascism was about to sweep across central Europe.
Since 1925, the celebration of Christ the King or the Kingship of Christ has become part of the calendar of the wider Western Church. It took on an ecumenical dimension from 1983 on with its introduction to Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists and others through the Revised Common Lectionary.

By the mid-1920s, the South Parish in Cork city had grown in both population and area to a point where it could no longer function with a single church. To address the situation, Bishop Daniel Cohalan of Cork designated Turner's Cross as the location for a second parish church to serve the growing population.
The Cork Examiner reported that Dr Cohalan originally planned a more standard design by an Irish or British architect, but the cost had proved 'well-nigh prohibitive.' He changed his mind when he read an article by Barry Byrne, a former student of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Byrne had already designed three Catholic churches in the US, and all had received acclaim and criticism for their bold and innovative designs. He was well-known too for regular contributions on church design to publications such as Commonweal.
Byrne was born on 19 December 1883. His father, Charles Emmett Byrne, a native of Prince Edward Island, was a railroad blacksmith. His mother, Mary Barry Delaney, was from Chicago, with family connections with Co Wexford.
When Byrne visited an exhibition of Frank Lloyd Wright's work in Chicago in 1902, he was offered a place at Wright's Oak Park studio as an apprentice tracer. Although he had little formal education, Wright saw in Byrne the same raw love and enthusiasm for architecture he too had experienced in his youth.
Byrne established his own practice in Chicago in 1915. His first large building contract was in 1921 for the Immaculata High School, Chicago. This was followed by the Church of Saint Thomas the Apostle in Chicago.
His wife Annette Cremin regularly drew artist's impressions of his designs and in some cases designed the interior colour schemes for some of his buildings and churches.

Ireland must have seemed to be inward looking and very traditional in the 1920s, and the idea of a futuristic design by a foreign architect would have fomented strong opposition. But this was only the first of many problems to come.
The first model for the church was based on a brick exterior and interior, with a suspended wooden ceiling. It was a development of a previous design by Byrne for a church also dedicated to Christ the King in Tulsa, Oklahoma (1926), and represented a more economic solution, typically used in the US.
However, this design was subject to an overall cost restriction of £30,000 with £20,000 allocated for the building and the remaining £10,000 kept for the inner furnishings.
After investigations, the site supervising architect, JR Boyd Barrett, reported that a brick and wood church could not be built on a £20,000 budget and he suggested a complete concrete construction with plaster ceiling would be more realistic.
Although reluctant to sacrifice the brick and wood design, Byrne reworked his solution to use concrete as the main construction material. The result would involve the use of large sections of moulded concrete re-enforced for strength. Decorative features around the doors and windows would all be made from cast stone, and the stone mason was not a consideration.
The reconfigured model was a new departure in Byrne's style and the Church of Christ the King became the first Irish church ever built from concrete. The innovative design and its use of concrete may have been the first large-scale application of re-enforced concrete construction in Ireland. At the time, ready-mix cement was unheard of, and the project involved a complete shake-up for the building industry in Ireland.
Before building work began, Barry Byrne and his wife, Annette Cremin Byrne, visited Cork to view the site and to discuss the final details of the project with Dr Coholan.
Work began in March 1929 and the foundations were blessed by Dr Cohalan on 21 July. The Initial problems were with the foundation. The soft marsh-like terrain of the site was no match for the heavy foundation. Before any walls could be erected, the building contractor, John Buckley, had to sink foundations 15 ft to reach a solid base, well above the 5-6 ft estimated by Byrne.
Other issues included strong opposition from the Society of Stone Cutters and Marble Masons. Their anger related to the selection of concrete as a base material and they instructed that the foundation stone 'shall not be worked, as the building of the said Church is detrimental to our trade.'

A general building trade strike from May to August 1930 caused significant delays for the project. But the church still opened on time on the Feast of Christ the King, 25 October 1931. However, there is evidence of a too-hasty completion: terrazzo panels were missing on the altar reredos, the Stations of the Cross were unfurnished and an external fence was not erected for some time.
When it was completed, the church never provoked much admiration or criticism. Yet, in that years that followed, many buildings influenced by the style of Frank Lloyd Wright were built in Ireland, although church architecture in Britain and Ireland largely ignored these new styles. However, the choice of concrete as a raw material became a major influence.
Byrne was pleased with the results that he never again chose brick as his preferred material. His later churches perfected the use of concrete as a more versatile material and as a cheap alternative to brick.
The original tender submitted by John Buckley was for £20,000. The costs for the internal furnishings, including seats and marble, terrazzo and other fittings, amounted to £7,000, with the total cost at £27,000. A significant contribution of £10,000 from the Geary family foundation provided much needed support to pay off the debts.
A local sculptor, John Maguire, was contracted to build the large sculpture of Christ the King that stands over the entrance. The statue was designed by the American sculptor John Storrs and the final work was based on plaster models shipped from Storrs home in France to Cork. Maguire also worked on the marble altars and gold mosaics.
The marble terrazzo work was carried out by JJ O'Hara & Co. Dublin. This includes the black floor surface and lower wall, beige dado rail and all white marble surfaces in the sanctuary and at the reredos. The terrazzo work is said to be the first of its kind in Ireland.
Piggot & Co furnished the Mannborg Model 40 organ fitted in the concealed choir gallery, glazing and painting work was by JF O'Mahony of Cork, and the bell was supplied by Gillett and Johnston of Croydon.
It is surprising, then, that Byrne never saw the finished building in person, and it remains his only church where he did not personally supervise the construction.
Bishop Cornelius Lucey designated Turner's Cross an independent parish in 1957. At the same time, five new churches were built in Cork, including a church for the newly formed parish of Ballyphehane.
As for Barry Byrne, he moved to New York in the early 1930s and supplemented his limited work as a building inspector and by writing articles for various publications. At the age of 62, he returned to Chicago in 1945. He died in 1967.
The church was rededicated by Bishop John Buckley on 25 May 2002, at a ceremony presided over by Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor, Archbishop of Westminster. Meanwhile, however, with the formation of new parishes, the Church of Christ the King would never again serve the huge masses for which it was commissioned. However, its design and craftsmanship have stood the test of time, and the church retains most of its original character and layout.

Searching for memories,
poems and explanations
in 'Jewtown' in Cork
In the heart of the former 'Jewtown' in Cork (Photograph: Patrick Comerford, 2020)
I was exploring Cork's Jewish history and legacy earlier this week as part 2 of this year's 'Road Trip' took me to Cork. Shalom Park is beside the area in Cork known as 'Jewtown' is Cork's equivalent of 'Little Jerusalem' in Dublin, between Clanbrassil Street and Portobello.
However, as I wrote last night, it is disappointing that there are no signs in Shalom Park to indicate the significance of the park's name, and no plaques on houses in the surrounding streets to remember the names of families who once shaped the unique identity of this corner of Cork.
At one time, this area was made up of a number of small streets around the Hibernian Buildings that became home to Lithuanian Jews fleeing the pogroms in Russia in the late 19th century.
Local lore says many of these refugees were trying to reach New York, but instead ended up in Cork. This unlikely story says they thought they were in America when they landed, mistaking the call 'Cork, Cork,' for 'New York.'
Many of these new arrivals first started out as unskilled peddlers. But they soon opened their own up shops and small businesses, their own synagogues, and quickly became part of political, social and business life in the Cork. Gerald Goldberg, whose father came from Russia, became the Lord Mayor of Cork in 1973.
Today, there are less than a handful of Jewish people left in Cork city and none in Jewtown itself. The park was founded just beside these houses and it is dedicated to the memory of the Jewish people that lived there.
Simon Lewis recalls many of the stories of this area in Jewtown, (Doire Press, 2016), a collection of 57 brief poems. In these poems, he draws on the experiences of those Lithuanian Jews who settled there in the 1880s and 1890s. His collection includes three Hennessy Award Winning poems, 'The Zoo,' 'Creosote' and 'Two Sisters.'
Simon Lewis moved from Dublin a few years ago to take up a teaching post in Carlow. There he joined a writers' group and was challenged to write about his Jewish and Irish background, leading him to examine Jewish history in Cork.
His great-grandmother was born in Cork, and he says many Irish Jews can trace their journey through this small area of Cork City.
The tenth poem in his collection, 'Tashlich,' is read by David Goldberg in the new 'Virtual Walk' through Jewish Cork launched last month by the performance artist Ruti Lachs, who is active in the Munster Jewish Community.
The virtual tour, which I used as I explored Jewish Cork earlier this week, is presented by Ruti Lachs and Marnina Winkler, includes interviews, stories, and music, and this poem by Simon Lewis.
Streets in the heart of the former 'Jewtown' in Cork (Photograph: Patrick Comerford, 2020)
'Tashlich' refers to the symbolic casting away of sins into a river or flowing water during Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. The anonymous narrator in 'Tashlich' recalls his dangerous escape from Tsarist antisemitism and recounts his present poverty in Ireland. But he also expresses relief at feeling free from physical danger in Cork:
I toss breadcrumbs in the river
and pray to God for forgiveness:
for the food I stole from the houses
in empty shtetls, the lies to the soldiers
at every checkpoint all the way
to the harbour at Riga, and the evenings
when I could barely breathe,
questioning my faith, broken from the day.
This year, I thank God for a mattress
on a dirt floor, a small knob of butter
melted in mashed potato, to be able
to walk without looking behind me.
'Bromide,' the poem immediately after 'Tashlich,' however, makes it clear that the Jewish immigrants were not entirely assured of physical safety in Cork, either. The anonymous narrator speaks to her husband, who has been beaten and harassed:
You make up a tale
of how you tripped on Albert Quay,
gave yourself a fine big shiner,
grazed your brow or chipped a tooth,
or you make a joke about staying off
that Irish whiskey or smile, tell me
I should see the other guy
before you limp off to our bed.
It's only in the darkness I feel
every punch, slap and threat.
If you aren't stirring
or jerking, I try to find a bruise
and press it. Sometimes a wince
is as good as sleeping pills.
There is no explanation at Shalom Park of the significance of the name of the park (Photograph: Patrick Comerford, 2020)
The synagogue at 10 South Terrace, built in 1896, closed in February 2016. Simon Lewis's final poem in Jewtown, 'The Last Sabbath at South Terrace Synagogue,' describes one of those final services. Here, Simon Lewis also recalls Freddie Rosehill, the last chair of the trustees of the Cork Hebrew Congregation:
Shipped in from Dublin, the men gathered like beetles
around the orange glow of the gas heaters, grumbling
as the Sabbath candles were lit. Above them, the women
looked down from the crumbling balcony at the ruins,
the walls twinkling with dew, the rot chewing the panels
and the blue velvet table covers airbrushed by damp.
The men shifted in the pews as their knees stiffened
and they mumbled along to the cantor's funereal chants.
At the front of the Shul was Freddie, his silver crutch
rooted to the carpet bearing the weight of his body,
of the synagogue, of one-hundred and twenty years
of peddlers, grocers, directors. His face, red with the strain,
gave in by the first Kaddish, drooping back into the pew,
knowing he was part of the furniture, ready to be moved on.
Freddie Rosehill died within 10 months of the synagogue closing, at the age of 88.
The Cork Hebrew Congregation has also been the subject of a poem, written in 1987 by the Cappoquin-born poet, novellist and critic Thomas McCarthy, 'The Dying Synagogue at South Terrace.' In this poem, he moves from contemplation of the synagogue's shabby exterior, its chocolate-coloured paint peeling off, to thoughts of the Irish government's refusal to help Jews trying to flee the Holocaust and current animosity towards the state of Israel in Ireland:
We who did nothing for you, who
remained aloof with the Catholic world
and would have cried Jew! like the others—
David forgive us—
we who didn't believe the newsreels,
preferring hatred of England to love of you,
we might shut our hypocrite mouths,
we want a West Bank but not a Stormont.
We have no right over your batons,
having made nothing for you but L. Bloom.
L. Bloom is, of course, Leopold Bloom in James Joyce's Ulysses, the character most associated with Jews in Irish literature.
Simon Lewis's poems in Jewtown received the 2015 Hennessy Poetry Prize. His second poetry collection, Ah! Men, was published last year (October 2019).
Thomas McCarthy from Cappoquin says of Jewtown: 'It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of this jewel of a poetry book. Jewish life in Cork, the life of just four hundred souls, has already had its chroniclers in David Marcus, Gerald Y Goldberg and Louis Marcus, but this suite of poems lifts the narrative of that now lost community to a new intensity of poetic thought.'

Chemosignal Unlocks Sexual Desire In Women
By Will Parker on October 8, 2004 in News
Breastfeeding women and their infants produce apheromone-like chemical that increases sexual desire among other women, according to researchers at the University of Chicago. The research is reported in the latest issue of the journalHormones and Behavior.
"This is the first report in humans of a natural social chemosignal that increases sexual motivation," said Martha McClintock, the lead researcher. Chemosignals are substances that while not necessarily perceived as odors, nonetheless have an impact on mood and menstrual cycles when absorbed through the nose.
McClintock and her team found that after being exposed to the breastfeeding compounds for two months, women with regular partners experienced a 24 percent increase in sexual desire. Women without partners experienced a 17 percent increase in sexual fantasies after exposure.
The research involved recruiting breastfeeding women, who were asked to eat a bland diet to avoid transmitting odors such as curry through the breast milk. The breastfeeding women wore pads in their nursing bras, where the saliva from their infants in addition to their own perspiration and milk was collected. They also wore pads secured by underarm shields to collect perspiration. The pads were then collected, cut into pieces and frozen. McClintock says that this procedure is effective in collecting chemosignals.
The researchers also recruited women between the ages of 18 and 35 who had not born a child. The women were divided into two groups, one group exposed to the pads with breast feeding substances, and the other group exposed to pads with potassium phosphate, a substance that mimics the concentration of the sweat and breast milk.
"Because preconceived ideas about pheromones could potentially influence their responses, study participants were blind to the hypotheses and the source of the compounds," co-researcher Natasha Spencer said. "The study was presented to the subjects as an examination of odor perception during the menstrual cycle."
Participants were given a set of pads on a regular basis and asked to swipe them under their noses in the morning and at night and any other time of the day in which they may have wiped their upper lips, showered or exercised.
The women were asked to complete a daily survey with a scale indicating "the degree you felt desire today for sexual intimacy." They also recorded their sexual activity. Women without partners were also asked about their moods and reported whether they experienced "any fantasies or daydreams of a sexual or romantic nature." Among women exposed to the breastfeeding substance, "The effect became striking during the last half of the menstrual cycle after ovulation when sexual motivation normally declines," McClintock said.
The researchers say that further study is needed to determine if the chemosignals are pheromones. In order to be pheromones, researchers much show that the substances operate "in the context of normal daily interactions with breastfeeding women and their infants. Ideally, such a study would also demonstrate how these effects would have increased the evolutionary fitness of individuals who used this system of social communication during human evolution," McClintock explained. Other studies suggest that women living in early societies produced children when food resources were plentiful. The chemosignal would have been a way of encouraging other women to reproduce during those plentiful times.
