Patrol the streets with style in these incredible superhero cars
Aside from the contents of Batman's subterranean garage, and Ghost Rider's motorcycle-turned-low-rider, superhero vehicles are pretty rare these days. However, there was a time -- let's call it "the 1970s" -- when every other costumed character seemed to have their own custom wheels, whether it was Superman's Supermobile, Spider-Man's Spider-Mobile or The Punisher's Battle Van ... mobile.
But if the work of WrapStyle Singpare is any indication, perhaps superhero cars are poised to make a high-priced comeback.
The "automobile styling company" has rolled out a series of photos of exotic cars -- from the Mercedes SLS AMG to the Lamborghini Aventador to the McLaren 650S -- transformed into superheroes with the help of some pretty impressive wrappings: Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk are all represented.
Presumably, though, only Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark would have the cash for these high-priced rides, so maybe this comeback will have to wait.

René Lalique and Art Nouveau
René Lalique was a master French glassmaker and jeweller born on April 6, 1860, and he died on May 1, 1945. He is known for his perfume bottles, candleholders, vases, clocks and jewellery.
At a very young age, when still in high school, Lalique won a design competition. This was a true revelation for him. At the age of 16, he began an apprenticeship with a Parisian jeweller, Louis Aucoc, and then left for London to study at Sydenham Art College. He returned to France, where he worked for great names such as Cartier and Boucheron.
In 1885 he launched his own jewellery shop on Place Vendôme in Paris, and his counter at the 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris was a real success.
Lalique proved to be one of France's most influential Art Nouveau jewellery designers, with a focus on animals and plants. However, he used materials that were still rarely used at that time, such as glass, leather, mother-of-pearl, enamel and precious stones.
An extraordinary master glassmaker
In 1910, Lalique started creating glass perfume bottles for the Antique Amber bottle of perfumer François Coty.
In 1921, he set up a glass factory in Alsace. His creations were noticed and René Lalique was asked to work on several major projects such as the interior decoration of several luxury ocean liners including the SS Normandie and the SS De Grasse. But that's not all, he also decorated luxury trains including the famous Orient Express.
Lalique also made the stained glass windows, the communion table and the all-glass altar for the Saint-Niçaise Church in Reims.
In 1945, he was buried in Paris' Père-Lachaise cemetery.
Sotheby's sold the Macallan in Lalique Legacy Collection for $993,000 in April 2017 in Hong Kong. The sale included a set of six crystal decanters containing Macallan single malts ranging in age from 50 to 60 years old. The decanters are part of an exclusive collection resulting from the collaboration between René Lalique and Macallan. For the occasion, Lalique created a unique piece of ebony wood furniture that could accommodate the Six Pillars collection as well as six pairs of Lalique glasses and six miniatures from Macallan's "Fine and Rare" collection.
Recognising René Lalique's signature
Like many artists, Lalique did not sign all of his works. However, you will find below an example of the signatures to give you an idea. Variations of these signatures do exist, do not hesitate to contact one of our experts to formally authenticate a signature.

This scaphe dial is kept in a brass box, beautifully engraved with flowers, arabesques and fleur-de-lis. The compass card is made of thin pasteboard painted in red, blue, yellow, white and green.
The pin of the pin gnomon dial is fixed but the grid with the hours can be moved so that the dial can be adjusted for different latitudes.


This section highlights 2 areas of the blood transfusion guideline that could have a big impact on practice and be challenging to implement, along with the reasons why these areas are important (given in the box at the start of each area). We identified these with the help of stakeholders and guideline committee members (see section 9.4 of the manual). The section also gives information on resources to help with implementation.
Hospitals may improve clinical outcomes and cut costs by reducing the need for blood transfusions (with their associated risks) whenever possible. Tranexamic acid is an an inexpensive antifibrinolytic pharmacological agent that can be administered before and during surgery to reduce bleeding and therefore the need for blood transfusions. There is strong evidence that this is clinically effective and that its use will reduce mortality and costs.
Clinicians are not consistently offering tranexamic acid to adults undergoing surgery who are expected to have at least moderate blood loss (greater than 500 ml). Clinical opinion is that current usage may be as low as 10–20%. This may be due to a lack of awareness and of inclusion in local clinical protocols.
Use the NICE baseline assessment tool for this guideline, and consider carrying out a clinical audit to establish current practice. Awareness‑raising and training initiatives can then be targeted at areas of most need.
Use the NICE guideline algorithm to include using tranexamic acid as part of the hospital protocol for adults undergoing surgery who are expected to have at least moderate blood loss.
Use the NICE costing statement to estimate possible cost savings. Depending on the reduction in the number of units of blood transfused, there may be a saving in the range of £146–£689 per person. Use of tranexamic acid may also reduce length of hospital stay, which will result in efficiency savings.
Human error is the main cause of adverse events related to transfusion. The most serious of these are the wrong patient being given a transfusion or the incorrect blood product being given. These errors are caused by misidentification during pre‑transfusion sampling or when giving a transfusion. Electronic patient identification systems prompt staff to carry out key steps in the correct order, and ensure that transfusions are given to the right patients through scanning of compatible wristbands and blood component containers.
Many hospitals do not have such a system in place, and for these hospitals implementation will involve a redesign of hospital blood transfusion services to incorporate patient identification and bedside handheld computers that prompt staff through each step and verify that the correct transfusions are given. There will be an initial cost to implementing these systems, as well as annual maintenance costs. However, the systems will provide substantial efficiency gains, including savings in nursing and laboratory staff time and reduced blood product wastage.
Refer to resources such as the right patient, right blood safer practice notice.
Use the NICE costing statement to assess potential costs, including ongoing costs for maintenance and administrative support. In addition, consider efficiency savings such as improved traceability and availability of data.
Use resources such as the national specification (click on action 3) for electronic clinical transfusion management systems.
Use published data (such as SHOT) to demonstrate the patient safety benefits of implementing such a system and provide examples of where the system would have prevented errors, in particular where a potential NHS England Never event would be avoided.
Gain high‑level support from influential patient safety representatives and the Hospital Transfusion Committee.
Use examples from practice in other NHS hospitals to learn about how such a system has been implemented.
Further resources are available from NICE to help support implementation of the guideline.
Uptake data about guideline recommendations and quality standard measures are available on the NICE website.
NICE is developing a quality standard on blood transfusion. More information is available from the quality standards topic library on the NICE website.
There is a suite of information leaflets that hospitals can order free of charge or download, including leaflets written for children and in languages other than English. Use good‑quality information leaflets such as the NICE information for the public and those developed by NHS Blood and Transplant, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and Macmillan.
Information is also available online. NHS Choices and NHS Blood and Transplant provide reliable information on blood transfusion.


We enjoy very mild winters here in Hammond, LA, which means our heating systems are likely to see fairly light duties during the cold months. Our summers, on the other hand are long and hot, and when the temperatures start to rise, your air conditioner will need to do the job every day without fail. If you have an older air conditioner and you're looking to get it replaced, now is the time to do so: when you can schedule the session according to your needs instead of racing to get it done in front of one of our Louisiana heat waves.
The holidays are here and with them comes cooler weather that necessitates regular use of your heating system. We're not exactly buried in snow here in Hammond, LA, but that doesn't mean we don't need our heating units to keep us warm – especially at night – and our focus on air conditioning for most of the year leads many homeowners to discount the need for heating when it arises. Accordingly, you may have fallen prey to one or more common misconceptions about heating that could end up costing you money. We've listed a few of them for you to look out for.

Q: How to learn optimal unknown constants (hyperparameters) in a function I have a function that takes 2 known values as input, as well as 8 unknown constants.
Lets call it  $f(X, k) = y$ where each index $i$ of $X$ is a vector of the 2 input values
$k$ is a vector of the unknown constants.
$y$ is a vector of known outputs ($y^{(i)}$ is a single output value)
Given a dataset containing with pairs of $X^{(i)}, y^{(i)}$ how do I learn the values of $k$ that minimize the difference between $f(X^{(i)}, k)$ and $y^{(i)}$ across this dataset.
It seems that I should be minimizing the cost function of the means squared error between $f(X, k)$ and $y$:
$$
\frac{1}{2m} \sum_{i=1}^m(f(X^{(i)}, k) - y^{(i)})^2
$$
This is similar to a gradient descent, however my equation is not in correct form.
One thing that comes to mind is performing grid search across the possible values of k.
What are some other methods to do this? The output I want is the vector k that minimizes that function.

Soccer provides succor to war-torn Ivory Coast
The team lost its first-ever World Cup match Saturday, but simply qualifying has rallied the country.
By Lane Hartill Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor
YAMOUSSOUKRO, IVORY COAST
On most days, Charles Blé Goudé rallies young people in the streets, whipping up support for government forces in the country's intermittent civil war and, in the eyes of the UN, inciting ethnic violence. But for a few hours on Saturday, Mr. Blé Goudé ensconced himself in a hotel suite, kicked off his shoes, and sank into a sofa.
The national soccer team, the Elephants, was going to beat Argentina in its first-ever World Cup showing. The fiery loyalist leader could feel it.
During the match, he leaped up on the couch: "Play the ball, guys. Look, he's wide open!" When Argentina scored the game winner, he buried his face in a pillow.
In this West African country, divided in two since a failed coup in 2002, the Elephants have become something between a welcome respite and salvation.
Soccer pushed politics to the sideline when the Elephants qualified for their first World Cup last fall. Since then, the team – made up of players of various ethnic backgrounds from both the rebel-held North and the government-controlled South – has represented national unity, something that the country desperately needs if it is to preserve its tenuous peace while moving toward disarmament and fall elections.
For Alphonsine Zokora, the mother of team midfielder Didier Zokora and a member of the Elephants Mother's Club, ethnicity isn't an issue. "We're unified. We don't look at ethnicity," says Mrs. Zokora, referring to the club to which all the players' mothers belong. She says their sons get along fabulously, often playing traditional drums together and going out to nightclubs. "The team can help bring peace to Ivory Coast," she says.
Aimé Dieudonné Briere de l'Isle, an Ivorian soccer analyst, says the team's positive impact on the country's woes could be huge. "The national team is the team of all Ivorians. You wouldn't believe what's happening in the besieged zones when the team wins. It's something incredible. Everyone sees themselves in the team."
Others are skeptical. "It's complicated," says Youssouf Fofana, a former Elephant who played in the 1990s in Europe alongside international soccer star – and runner-up in Liberia's recent elections – George Weah. "At the least, [the team's makeup] allows the Ivorian population to feel concerned about the team's performance," says Mr. Fofana, now director at Ivory Coast's top soccer-training academy. "But to have national reconciliation, that's another problem."
Nobody denies that the team is a breath of fresh air after four years of crisis. The current push is for elections, slated for Oct. 31. But much remains to be done. Opposition and pro-government militias in the south are still armed. Last week's disarmament of some pro-government militias was postponed because of miscommunication. And with several government ministers at the World Cup in Germany, many here anticipate another month of slow progress.
Crucial for fair elections is the identification of millions of residents who have lived for years Ivory Coast without documents. The majority are not considered "true Ivorians" by many southerners, angered as people with origins in poorer neighboring countries claim Ivorian nationality. Seven pilot ID programs have been set up as a trial for a more widespread identification campaign, but some government officials fear that citizenship is being handed out willy-nilly.
"Ivoirité," used to denote if a person is truly Ivorian and used in the 1990s to exclude northerners from the political process, has fractured the trust among the more than 60 ethnic groups here. Northerners have been harassed, often accused of harboring rebels.
The national team, however, seems immune to nationalism and xenophobic taunts. Even the coach, Henri Michel, a Frenchman, is accepted in a country where fierce anti-French sentiment simmers.
For Mr. Briere de l'Isle, it doesn't matter how far the Ivorians advance in the World Cup. If they lose to the Netherlands Friday, it could put the second round out of reach. But in some ways, Briere de l'Isle says, they have already succeeded. "It gives Ivory Coast prestige. We're the country that has been in war for four years. It's another way for the world to look at us."
After sour years, is French influence on the rise in West Africa?

Napoleon Marache (June 15, 1818 – May 11, 1875) was born in France and moved to the United States at around 12 years of age. He learned the game of chess around 1844, and immediately became a devotee. He began composing chess problems and writing about chess the following year. In the mid-19th century, he was both one of America's first chess journalists and one of its leading players. In 1866, he published Marache's Manual of Chess, which was one of the country's first books on chess, and also one of its first books on backgammon. He is perhaps best known today for having lost a famous game to Paul Morphy.

Early life; writing

Marache was born in Meaux, France in June 1818, three years to the month after his namesake Napoleon Bonaparte's final defeat at Waterloo. Marache moved to the United States at around 12 years of age. He learned the game around 1844 and immediately became a serious student of the game. He learned so quickly that he was able, three weeks after his first lesson, to give his tutor rook odds.

In 1845, Marache began composing chess problems. In 1846, he became the "first chess editor in America", publishing the periodical The Chess Palladium and Mathematical Sphinx. At approximately the same time, Charles Stanley started another American chess periodical, The American Chess Magazine. The two publications feuded shamelessly, with Stanley calling Marache's publication "a most ridiculous jumble of unintelligible nonsense" and "sixteen pages of soiled waste-paper". Only three issues of The Chess Palladium and Mathematical Sphinx were published, dated October, November, and December 1846. The American Chess Magazine ceased publication in 1847. At various times in the 1850s and 1860s, Marache was the chess editor or chess columnist for the New York Clipper, Porter's Spirit of the Times, and Wilkes' Spirit of the Times.

In 1865, Marache wrote the chess section for a new edition of Hoyle's guide to games. Shortly after the end of the Civil War, Morphy traveled to New York to work on an annotated collection of his games, with Marache acting as secretary and Charles A. Gilberg working closely with Morphy. Unfortunately, the book was never published, since prospective publishers "asked that he enrich the collection ... with new games", which Morphy refused to do.

In 1866, Marache published Marache's Manual of Chess, one of the first chess books in the United States. At the end of the book, Marache also gave the rules and discussed strategy for backgammon, Russian backgammon, and dominoes. The book was also one of the earliest books on backgammon in the United States. It was still in print in 1928, the publisher's name having since been changed to "Fitzgerald Publishing Corporation", New York.

Play

In 1855-56, in a competition among eight of the leading players of the day, Marache won the championship cup of the New York Chess Club. Later that same winter, he finished first in a sixteen-player tournament. On August 30, 1856, Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper published a challenge issued by Ernest Morphy to "Mr. Stanley or Marache (and we presume any player in the country)" to play a match against his nephew, Paul Morphy. No one accepted the challenge.

In 1857, Marache was one of the sixteen leading American players who participated in the First American Chess Congress, Morphy's triumphant first (and only) tournament. Marache defeated Daniel Fiske in the first round, losing his first two games but winning the remaining three. In the second round, he lost to Benjamin Raphael, winning two games, drawing two, and losing three.

Marache and Morphy did not meet in the tournament, but played five games in 1857 in which Morphy gave odds of pawn and move, with Morphy winning three and drawing two. In 1859 Morphy, who could successfully give odds of a knight to almost any player in the country, beat Marache in a game at those odds, after Marache blundered away his extra piece to what is today a well-known trap in the Max Lange Attack.

In 1858, Marache was one of the players who represented the New York Chess Club in the second game of a two-game telegraph match with its Philadelphia counterpart, which resulted in a win for New York. Marache substituted for Fiske, who had been one of the New York players in the first game, which had ended in a draw.

Game against Morphy

Marache is perhaps best known today for losing the following brilliancy against Morphy in 1857, in which Marache played White in an Evans Gambit:

Marache-Morphy, New York 1857 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 Bxb4 5.c3 Ba5 6.d4 exd4 7.e5? d5! 8.exd6 Qxd6 9.O-O Nge7 10.Ng5? Better was 10.Ba3, although White's attacking prospects would not be enough to compensate for the sacrificed pawn. O-O 11.Bd3 Bf5! Sacrificing an exchange, for which Black gets three pawns and a strong attack. 12.Bxf5 Nxf5 13.Ba3 Qg6 14.Bxf8 Qxg5 15.Ba3 dxc3 16.Bc1 Qg6 17.Bf4 Rd8 18.Qc2 Ncd4 (position at left) 19.Qe4 The alternatives were no better: 19.Qd3 Ng3!! wins the queen for two knights after 20.Qxg3 Ne2+; 19.Rd1 Ne3! 20.Qxg6 Ne2+ 21.Kh1 Rxd1#; 19.Qa4 b5! 20.Qxa5 Ne2+ 21.Kh1 Nxf4 22.Rg1 (or 22.g3 Qc6+ 23.f3 Qxf3+!!) Rd1! 23.g3 Qc6+ and mate next. Ng3!! (position at right) 20.Qxg6 White has no reasonable alternative, e.g. 20.Bxg3 Qxe4 or 20.Qe7 Nde2+ wins the queen. Nde2# 0-1

Problem

At left is a chess problem composed by Marache, which he called, "One of the most difficult two-move compositions extant." Edward Winter calls it, "An interesting problem with a Zugzwang theme." The key move is 1.Bf7! (see diagram at right).

Supreme Court Cases: Sectionalism
Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857)
The question whether slavery should be allowed in territories acquired by the U.S. was a controversial one prior to the Civil War. Dred Scott, a slave, was taken by his master from Missouri (a slave state) first to Illinois (a free state) and then to Wisconsin Territory where slavery under the Missouri Compromise of 1820 was forbidden. Later, with his owner, Dred Scott returned to Missouri. Dred Scott and his wife filed a petition in a Missouri court requesting permission to file suit in order to establish their right to be freed since they had resided on free soil. After two trials and the Scotts temporarily winning their freedom, the Missouri Supreme Court reversed the lower court's judgment and held that the Scotts' residence on free soil had not changed their status as slaves. The Scotts then brought suit in a U. S. Circuit Court where the verdict once more was that they were still slaves. The case was then appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court.
Seven of the nine Supreme Court Justices concluded that the Scotts remained slaves. Chief Justice Roger Taney authored the most important opinion for a majority of the Court. Taney first addressed the question of whether the Scotts were citizens and thus entitled to bring suit in a U. S. court. He wrote: "We think they are not, and that they are not included, and were not intended to be included, under the word 'citizens' in the Constitution and can, therefore, claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and secures to citizens of the United States." Still writing for a majority of the Court, Taney also wrote: "…it is the opinion of the Court that the Act of Congress (the Missouri Compromise of 1820) which prohibited a citizen from holding and owning property of this kind in the territory of the United States north of the line therein mentioned, is not warranted by the Constitution, and is therefore void." The Court thus declared the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional and in the process emphasized the importance of protecting property rights, in this case property being slaves.
The first sentence of Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment added to the Constitution in 1868 declares that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside." It was written and added to the Constitution for the specific purpose of overruling the Supreme Court's decision in Dred Scott v Sanford.

, A crisis is a tiblerre thing to waste , and Michael Platt reckoned that, A risk tamed is a reward captured . There is more to look forward to than there is to fear when it comes to Climate Change. There are opoiutrnpties that will be realised in many sectors of the world's economies. Rather than just trying to mitigate this risk, let us face this planetary emergency with courage and resolve, and create value. And a large part of this will be a paradigm shift in how we deal with everything in life, from energy use to waste management.

Pomona California is the seventh largest city in Los Angeles county, anchoring the eastern edge of the county with a population of over 151,000 residents. Founded in 1888, the city emerged as a center of agricultural activity in the early part of the 20th century, developed into a manufacturing mecca after World War II, and a center of migration over the past 40 years. Located at the confluence of four major freeways and the intersection of the San Gabriel Valley and the Inland Empire, the city possesses several key assets as well as challenges that make it a vibrant community rich with opportunity.
The Economic Engine of the Pomona Valley
Since its founding as an agricultural community and its emergence as a manufacturing center, Pomona has been a hub of economic activity in eastern Los Angeles County. Today the city's economy revolves around four key sectors that employ tens of thousands and infuse millions of dollars into the local economy on an annual basis in the form of revenue and salaries of workers: education, health care, wholesale trade, and manufacturing. In addition, the city's thriving arts and entertainment industries have established Pomona as a premier cultural venue. Numerous concerts at venues throughout the City as well as the monthly Art Walk in Downtown Pomona highlight the importance that the arts hold in the community.
Home to Recognizable Institutions
Pomona is blessed with several educational, medical, and entertainment assets that serve millions annually, and make our city an important regional destination. California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona) and Western University of Health Sciences offer outstanding education and research opportunities to students that help power California's economy. Pomona Valley Hospital and Medical Center, and Casa Colina Hospital provide world-class care for patients from throughout the region. And the Fairplex provides year-round entertainment, conference facilities and services for visitors from throughout Los Angeles County and beyond.
Spirit of engagement from the community
Pomona has a rich history of community involvement, particularly in recent years. Numerous community-based organizations call the city home, advocating for better education for their children, improved public health, a cleaner environment, safe streets, and justice for those who have been marginalized. These organizations their activities are a major asset to the community, and a defining characteristic of life in Pomona.
Despite these assets, Pomona faces tremendous challenges just like every other community. These challenges provide a focus for progressive action.
Pollution Burdens Characteristic of the Inland Valley
Pomona residents are exposed to some of the highest cumulative pollution burdens in the state, stemming primarily from air pollution generated by southern California's transportation network. The freeways that make the city such an attractive location for business, expose residents to harmful particulate matter, ozone, and other pollutants that threaten public health in our community.
Poverty Levels endemic to a working-class community
Pomona's workers disproportionately serve in essential sectors such as health care, construction and education. These workers often have incomes below the county average, and many support households that live below the poverty line. Limited resources, combined with linguistic isolation and inadequate health care present challenges for many families who face rising rent and costs of living, with limited opportunities for economic advancement.
Lacking a voice
Pomona is a community that has been historically underrepresented in regional, state, and national decision-making, due in part to its location at the extreme eastern edge of the county, in part to its demographics, and to the absence of strong leadership. The result has been a lack of voice in decisions that affect Pomona families.
These assets and challenges motivate Mayor Sandoval in his service to Pomona, as he leverages the ways in which Pomona has always served as a regional anchor that serves more than itself, while addressing fundamental challenges facing residents and businesses.

IHD: Violations of rights of prisoners who were on hunger strike
After the end of the hunger strike in prisons, many rights violations related to the medical treatment of prisoners continue to be on the agenda.
Sunday, 2 Jun 2019, 10:15
Many prisoners who have been on hunger strike for a long time and are in bad condition have been taken late to hospital, while others are being sent back to prison on the ground that they refuse to be examined while handcuffed.
Human Rights Association (IHD) executive Nuray Çevirmen spoke to ANF about the rights violations going on.
Çevirmen said that thousands of people were on hunger strike in 90 prisons and added that when it came to take them to hospital things were not have they should have been. Many prisoners, she said, were handcuffed not only on the way to the hospital but also when they were being examined by doctors.
She cited the example of a "prisoner in Siverek who had been handcuffed while blood tests were taken. The prisoner fainted and because of his hands being tied behind his back he got of the hospital and back to prison with three stitches on his head."
Noting that the prisoners who had been on hunger strike for a long time experienced internal organ pain, bowel problems, bleeding and loss of vision, Çevirmen said that they were only tested for blood.
The Turkish Medical Association (TTB) did its work but, said Çevirmen, did not show the necessary sensitivity.
Triple Protocol
Çevirmen said that in fact many facilities are not ready to deal with this kind of process and many complications in terms of the health of prisoners are caused by what she called triple protocol. "For example, - she said - the prisoner is taken out of prison for examination, but the gendarmerie handcuffs him/her, and when he/she goes to hospital he/she is not given the proper and required examinations. In addition, doctors do not have enough knowledge and equipment to deal with the consequences of hunger strike, so we would have hoped that the Ministry of Health would be able to work as a whole and exchange views with the TTB so that a much appropriate system of intervention would be introduced. Unfortunately, this did not happen."
Çevirmen pointed out that the return of the hunger strikers to the prison without proper examination would cause big problems in the future. She cited the case of two female prisoners in Antalya, and the imposition of examination in handcuffs in Amasya Prison, and the lack of referrals in Bakırköy prison."
The IHD is monitoring the post-hunger strike process
Çevirmen added: "The IHD has monitored the whole process since the beginning of the hunger strikes process and have related the situation in various reports. After the end of the hunger strike, we are working on the identification of violations of rights. In relation to access to health, we are working in coordination with the TTB. We have created a crisis table with lawyers, health professionals, human rights defenders."

Boys Basketball Advances To Sweet 16 With Win Over Hinkley
Dibo Elango
Boys basketball started off their postseason run with a 86-49 blowout win over the Hinkley Thunderbirds Saturday afternoon.
Senior Caleb Mcgill lead the team in scoring with 20 points along with eight rebounds. Senior Tanner Holtman was the only other player who scored in double figures, finishing with 18 points on 6/9 shooting from three.

Despite finishing the regular season winning two of their final four games, the team cruised to a dominant win as they advanced to the Sweet 16.
"We prepared all week by working on the little things we need to clean up before our first postseason game," said junior Jacob Burr.
"The end of the season did affect us because we knew we had to win and get momentum in the playoffs," said Holtman.
The Wolves were on fire in the first half, leading 52-18 after the first half. Their impressive play was the result of great shooting and plenty of ball movement.

"The game plan wasn't necessarily to shoot threes but since everyone was making them we just kept shooting," said Holtman.
The team cooled down in the second half, only scoring 34 points but it didn't matter in the end thanks to their solid defense.
"There's always room to get better as a team," said Holtman. "Right now we need to work on closing out help side."
The boys take on Broomfield Wednesday (3/4) at Grandview at 7:00.

I have pretty much been living in my sketchbook this weekend as my Uni deadlines draw closer and closer. So today was spent doing more of the same eased by many a tea & biscuits break!
I followed up on some very exciting emails for future projects in June, and also managed to revamp Afluenza a little.. What do you think of the new look? I'd really appreciate your honest opinions. I wanted to build upon the scrapbook theme my blog posts take on but if its too distracting I may just resort back to the simple white layout?
I am hoping to have all my links (on the right) organised by the end of the week, so that everything is easier to find and follow! There are already a couple of newbies on there so if you're on Hello Cotton or Asos Fashion Finder.. come say Hi!
I really love your new header, so if it's a sign of things to come then I think your layout will be amazing! Deadlines are a nightmare.. Can't wait for summer!

Arrested Motion | Souther Salazar "Attic Transmissions" Studio Visit
Home/Events, Press/Arrested Motion | Souther Salazar "Attic Transmissions" Studio Visit
On March 28th, Narwhal Contemporary in Toronto will be hosting a new solo show from Souther Salazar entitled Attic Transmissions. The Portland-based artist's work has always brought a smile to the face of fans of his whimsical work – with this new collection of paintings being no different. Salazar's imagery has a "greater than sum of its parts" feel to it with a delightful complex and layered composition, but this fresh batch of work seems to have taken it to a new level with some collaged elements.

Children treated in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) at Kentucky Children's Hospital are bombarded with scary sights, sounds and feelings.
But the welcoming grins of cartoon characters, a pleasant barnyard scene and sparkling princess carriages are happy and comforting images for children in the busy, intense PICU environment. Paintings of friendly childhood characters, figures and scenes adorn windows to seven patient rooms in the PICU. The colorful paintings provided by a group of UK art education students brighten the atmosphere for children and families going through a difficult time, as well as the nursing staff that cares for patients in critical situations.
"We just want it to be kid-friendly, appropriate, and to make them feel a little more joyous," Turner said.
The UK Art Education Student Chapter (AESC), a student organization that prepares its members for careers in art education, volunteered their time and artistic talents to paint child-friendly scenes and characters on the glass windows. The UK chapter is led by faculty adviser Beth Mosher Ettensohn. Turner, a member of the Culture Council at Kentucky Children's Hospital, and fellow nurses in the PICU took personal time to paint the windows last year. After convening with the Culture Council this summer, Turner reached out to students in the School of Art and Visual Studies requesting help with painting the PICU windows. The students started painting the windows in November and will continue to maintain the paintings throughout 2015.
Contributing art to the PICU was especially meaningful to Ettensohn, whose son fought and survived a rare form of cancer in 1998. Ettensohn recalls long stays in intensive care units, both at Kentucky Children's Hospital and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Ettensohn valued the support and encouragement of the KCH nursing staff who worked with her son.
As the family member of a patient, the art professor appreciated seeing vitality and variety in hospital décor. She believes a positive visual environment is essential to everyone's health.
"What we see has a profound effect on what we do, how we feel, and who we are. An engaging visual environment is essential to our health," Ettensohn said.
Ashley Worley, the vice president of the AESC, has noticed family members of patients looking over her shoulder as she paints. She said painting one scene on a window could take as long as two or three hours. Engaging future art educators in community service is part of the AESC's mission. Worley, who plans to become an art teacher, feels gratified sharing her artwork with families and medical workers in a challenging and sometimes dreary environment.
"The children are really sick, so even if one painting can make a child smile, then that makes a difference," Worley said.

NOTE TO STACEY ABRAMS – FIND A GOOD LAWYER: True the Vote Announces They Are Releasing Addresses of ALL Ballot Trafficking Stash Houses
Original article. The 2020 Election was Corrupted in so many ways! Wouldn't it be nice to have a list of all the various ways. I think Michele Bachmann says there are 37 ways, but I have not seen a list. Many of them are "determinative" i.e. changing the outcome of the Presidential Election like this one. And yet, you can depend on Fake News and other liars to keep on singing their worn out false narrative… "the most secure election…"
Published May 8, 2022 at 11:15 am 2732 Comments
The virtual premiere for the movie '2000 Mules' was held last night live from Las Vegas.
In the film, Dinesh D'Souza and True the Vote provide answers and evidence on the stolen 2020 Election. The explosive documentary was released on Tuesday at select theaters across the nation.
According to the evidence discussed in the movie, if you factor in just the Mule ballot traffickers: Trump won with 305 electoral votes. That does not even count all the other fraud that occurred during the election like the mysterious ballot drops at 3 in the morning or the questionable machines.
In April, TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk went on with Joe Hoft on 93.3 FM to discuss the movie. Kirk, who is featured in the film, said this about the evidence collected for the film, "They saw that some of these mules would visit these drop boxes every night. And then go to Stacey Abrams' headquarters and then go back to the drop boxes.
The movie discusses the Democrat-linked stash houses but does not mention any names or locations.
Last night Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips announced they will be releasing ALL of the addresses of the ballot stash houses.
Stecey Abrams may want to find a good lawyer.
On Saturday night political columnist Brian Cates posted this on the stash houses:
Tonight during the virtual premiere of 2000 Mules, Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips announced they will be releasing ALL the addresses of the stash houses run by the NGO's that were orchestrating this massive criminal racketeering operation in multiple states.
This also helps explain how a radical Marxist candidate like Rafael Warnock can win in Georgia.
It's about time for Democrats to lawyer up.

The 39 members of the Red Dot Award jury rated a record number of 6,300 products from 59 countries. The WingLine L folding-sliding door fitting is testimony to Hettich's tremendous design skills, putting it among this year's best in the industry.
ComfortSwing is the first lifting system on the market to raise the dishwasher's bottom rack to the level of the top rack. This is particularly convenient for the user and, with integrated Silent System, also gentle on dishes and glasses.
The SlideLine M sliding door fitting from Hettich is a system for many applications. Merging into the background, it doesn't interfere with the design of furniture and gives sliding door elements a look of elegance.
Designed to meet the needs of both residential and commercial applications, the improved Grant Box Track Sliding door systems provide real solutions for installations that require the movement of heavy panels, space dividers and large doors up to 500 lbs.
Integrated in the top panel and therefore invisible from the outside SysLine S sowohlfacilitates design aspects as well as an optimum use of storage space. SysLine S has become established in high quality sliding door cabinets with inset doors.
The SlideLine 55 Plus sliding door fitting from Hettich provides design flexibility as well as practical added value for the user.
The tried and proven Big Org@Tower stationary pedestal in high-rise format is now also available for wooden drawers. This broadens Hettich's product line-up for the increasingly popular bench workstation.


Doug and I snuck away to Lawrence, KS this weekend to hang out with our friends Paul and Sarah. The home of KU, it is one of the more exciting cities in Kansas. Mass Street is well known for its shops, music venues, and restaurants.
Basically my goal for the weekend was to eat as much delicious food as possible. I do not have a photo of the under-cooked chicken sandwich I received at The Burger Stand, but their food is good, with creative flavors and lots of options. The truffle fries were definitely the stand-out of the visit. I do not hold my unfortunate sandwich experience against them. Next time I'll order a regular burger and specify "well done," though.
Brunch at 715: Smoked Trout Benedict (interesting play on eggs Benedict). The others in my group had sausage and beans, pastrami hash, and biscuits and gravy. It would appear this restauraunt is foodie heaven–unique twists on normal standards and locally-sourced ingredients.
Lunch at Free State Brewery: three cheeses grilled sandwich with creamy tomato soup. I have had a better fancy grilled cheese at Con Pane, but it was good, and this tomato soup was great!
We did other stuff to celebrate Kansas Day (Jan 29) like purchase items from Kansas artists at Made and Wonder Fair, and go on a long and meandering drive, eventually ending up at the Kansas river to throw rocks in it.
It was nice to escape for two days.
Free State is a standard for almost every Lawrence trip for me. Top Notch fish and chips.
Sounds like you had a great time. Love your picture of the bell tower. Its beautiful.
i voted for you on PF. Hope you will return the favor.


We have a few more days left before ringing in the new year and this time around, I wanted to try something new. So I thought, what could be cheesier than handing out awards a la Oscars? Without further ado, my favorite running ________ of 2014.
I have to say that I absolutely loved the shoes that I tried on this year. The low to zero heel drop offerings have greatly increased and the updates have proven to be quite stellar. Each of the shoes listed above is distinctly different from the other: The Topo ST feels like it was custom-built for my foot but suffered from durability issues (kudos to Topo customer service for their amazingly quick resolution!). The Skora Fit fits like a sock and provides firm cushioning while Altra's The One 2 is wide, comfortable, and cushy. The GObionic is a flexible and wide shoe with cushioning that sits in between the Fit and the One 2.
Skechers GOrun4. What can I say? Very few shoes have impressed as much as this pair. With its sock-like fit and comfort, outstanding feel and cushioning, not too crazy design, and priced under $100, I truly believe this is the best value around.
Another tough choice because each of these books is very well-written and provides a ton of information. Faster Road Racing by Pfitzinger provides some great training tips and advice for races from 5k to the Half-Marathon. It is an easy and engaging read. Diet Cults and the Sports Gene are super interesting and they look at how certain concepts and things developed through time.
The Science of Running by Steve Magness. For a straight-up geek like me, it doesn't get any better than this book. Sure, the editing could have been much better but for content, nothing else comes close. Be warned that this book isn't for everyone. If you have a few races tucked under your belt and are looking to improve your PB and love reading about the inner workings of your body, this should be your go-to guide. Faster Road Racing is a close second and a much easier read albeit not as detailed as The Science of Running.
Kawauchi's story is so incredible that his achievements this year almost seem pedestrian. Meb's win in Boston after the tragedy last year was extra special and who could ever predicted that Deena would put on a clinic in Philly?
These are some serious bloggers on the list. Camille is aiming to win a marathon in every US state and she details her training in her blog. Kenny is Huff Post Canada's editor and has had a stellar year breaking all sorts of personal bests. Lachie is my man from down under who runs these crazy trail races and shares my love for all things Inov-8 and Steve Magness is...Steve Magness. His blog keeps me current in the world of Running Science and should be on every runner's blog roll.
What can I say? Patrick's blog contains a bit of everything and then some more. This year, he successfully conquered his personal mountain by qualifying for Boston. His blog reflects everything about being both a good runner and person. Despite having a not-so-great first impression of Patrick in the 2012 Mississauga Marathon (who wears two different shoes to a race? Yes they were the same model but one was yellow and the other was orange), I am very thankful that we managed to strike up a friendship over these last couple of years....a better man and runner you can't find.
Congratulations to all the winners. I'm sorry I don't have any type of hardware or prizes to offer other than space in this blog (a big whoop-di-doo...lol) but that's what happens in low budget productions like this one.
Thanks all for a great and fun year of blogging and running and I sign off 2014 with a promise of bigger and better things to come from 9run!
What a great way to finish off the year Stan. I love the concept! Thanks for the honorable mention, I'm glad you've enjoyed my crazy trail runs, I'm just getting back into them... I'm still envious of your shoe collection. Best of luck for 2015!
You're welcome Lachie. I have really enjoyed following your running year-round. I promise i will make it to Australia one day so you can teach me the art of trail running. Happy 2015!
wow stan - first off, what a great idea for an end-of-the-year post, and secondly i'm humbled. the fact that you would even consider to mention me and The Rendezvoo Point as a potential nominee for your 'blogger of the year' category is crazy to me ... especially when you read so widely and process information at such a high level. it's a privilege to be mentioned in the same breath as kenny, camille and lachie (nevermind in the same list as yuki, meb, deena and dennis!!). thank you for the tremendous shout-out, and also for your mentoring and friendship.
wishing you all the best for a fast and (appropriately) furious 2015!
You're very welcome Patrick! Trust me when I say that I have learned as much from you as you have from me. I always look forward to your dailymile updates...I continue to struggle understanding how anyone can already finish 28km by the time i get out of bed. :). Happy 2015!
btw ... the two different shoe thing? i'd like to think that i was a trendsetter, and that maybe - just maybe - i inspired mo farah to do the same (http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Mo+Farah+The+Great+North+Run+t_yTMXmukbjl.jpg).

New strategy launched to 'double' size of aquaculture
duration 28 October 2016
image captionThe strategy predicts an increase in Scottish salmon production to about 350,000 tonnes per year by 2030
A new "roadmap" has been launched in a bid to double the size of Scotland's aquaculture sector within 15 years.
Businesses and organisations involved in the sector are seeking to boost the value of Scottish aquaculture from £1.8bn this year to £3.6bn by 2030.
They estimate this will generate more than 9,000 new jobs for the industry.
A working group has launched a new growth strategy, which identifies key actions that are required to achieve the goals.
The group includes representatives of the Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation, Scottish Aquaculture Innovation Centre, Scotland Food and Drink, Association of Scottish Shellfish Growers and businesses in the sector.
The strategy, which was developed after industry-wide consultation, sets out key recommendations for action by both the industry and government.
They include stripping industry regulator Marine Scotland of its industry development role and passing that remit on to the Scottish government's Food, Drink and Rural Communities Division.
The strategy document also recommends introducing "world-leading innovation sites to trial cutting-edge equipment, technology and fish health strategies".
Another key recommendation - creating a new industry leadership group to drive forward the plans - has already been accepted by the Scottish government.
image captionThe strategy also forecasts a big rise in Scottish shellfish production by 2030
Salmon is the largest component of the Scottish aquaculture industry, with about 170,000 tonnes produced on farms each year.
The value of export sales alone is about £450m, making it Scotland's top food export.
The strategy predicts an increase in salmon production to about 350,000 tonnes per year by 2030. It also forecasts that Scottish shellfish production - mostly mussels - will rise from about 8,000 tonnes per year to 21,000 tonnes.
According to Scottish government figures, 8,800 jobs are currently supported by the aquaculture sector in Scotland. The new strategy estimates that number could rise to 18,000 by 2030.
'Roadmap to 2030'
Stewart Graham, co-chair of the working group, said: "This new strategy reflects the industry's ambition to drive sustainable growth and for Scotland to be a world leader in aquaculture.
"We have developed a roadmap to 2030 which can make a transformational impact on Scotland's economy and our rural communities.
"However, the real work begins now and we want to forge a new partnership between the industry, government and its agencies to unlock the full potential of sustainably farming Scotland's seas."
He added: "The strategy must act a catalyst to drive growth throughout the aquaculture supply chain through innovation, skills development and investment, and by ensuring we have proportionate and enabling regulation which balances economic growth and environmental sustainability."
Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing welcomed the report. The launch coincided with the Scottish government's Finfish Summit being held in Fort William.
He described the report as "a strong signal of business confidence", adding: "Aquaculture is one of our real economic success stories of recent years, with the industry on track to grow to a value of well over £2bn annually to the Scottish economy by 2020, supporting 10,000 jobs.
"The Scottish government will now work with the industry to consider their detailed proposals and I have agreed to establish an industry leadership group to help take that forward."

Gamergate abuse target starts help site
By Kevin Rawlinson
duration 21 January 2015
image captionZoe Quinn, a victim of online harassment, has co-founded Crash Override to help others in the same situation
A games developer who had to leave her home after receiving threats at the height of the Gamergate furore has set up a support group for other victims.
Zoe Quinn said abuse online was seen as less serious than in the "real world".
She said her group, Crash Override, helped people to prevent attacks online, as well as to deal with them when they did arise.
Caroline Criado-Perez, herself a victim of online abuse, said she would have "loved" such a service.
"I am grateful to her on behalf of women who are going to go through this and who cannot protect themselves. A lot of people are not internet-savvy, but their abusers are," she said.
Zoe Quinn became the target of harassment after details of her private life were released online by an ex-boyfriend.
It was claimed that she had had a relationship with a gaming journalist, sparking what became known as Gamergate.
Its adherents said the movement was about journalistic ethics. Others said the most common targets for abuse were women and that it was a front for misogyny, which many Gamergaters denied.
In October last year, Ms Quinn told the BBC that she was keeping a file containing the names of women she said had left the gaming industry as a result of the abuse.

image captionAnita Sarkeesian, a feminist video blogger, was also targeted as part of the Gamergate movement
And, while she had seen women being attacked online before, she said, Gamergate had been "the straw that broke the camel's back", convincing her to set up the help group Crash Override, which is being run with games producer Alex Lifschitz.
"There's websites that are institutions to perpetuating this kind of online mob abuse, so it's not like this is new," she told the BBC.
Both she and Ms Criado-Perez, who was targeted after campaigning to put a picture of Jane Austen on £10 notes, agreed that there was a damaging perception that online abuse was less severe than that occurring in the "real world".
They also said that many law enforcement agencies did not understand the technology involved.
Ms Quinn said Crash Override monitored sites online where people were known to gather to coordinate attacks.
She pointed to one case in which she said her group of volunteers - all of whom have been victims of similar attacks and have asked to remain anonymous - had been able to warn police that an attack was being planned.
She said that a "swatting" - where a call is made to police in the hope that they will send officers to the target's house - had been in the offing. As a result, she said, officers had been able to "de-escalate" the situation.
media captionDeveloper Zoe Quinn says big companies must do more to condemn the vitriolic nature of the GamerGate, as Dave Lee reports
Ms Quinn said that she first began gathering intelligence on how mobs of people grouped together online to harass their targets when she was being attacked herself.
She said that others had described such similarities in the tactics used against them that it had become clear the attacks were systematic and coordinated. That, she said, allowed the group of volunteers to "map" expected attacks.
The journalist Andrew Todd said he had been able to watch people "discuss how best to ruin my life" on a message board after writing an article critical of the Gamergate movement.
"It's a very violating thing having your whole identity get pored over," he told the BBC.
He said that Crash Override had advised him on how to secure his online accounts, to inform the police of any potential threats and prevent any further attacks. He said it had also provided him with emotional support.
The group is not seeking any funding but acknowledged its resources would limit its capabilities.
It was providing its service free to anyone who feared becoming a victim of an online mob, particularly those seeking to "dox" them - or release their most personal details online, Ms Quinn said.
Other groups offer services for people who feel they are being harassed, but few focus specifically on coordinated attacks by online mobs. Get Safe Online, for example, said it had been studying the issue but had not yet launched a specialised service.

Fact Growing Demand for Cardboard Coffins in Venezuela
Elio Angulo (bottom C) lies inside a cardboard coffin next to Alejandro Blanchard as they introduce their product to potential customers at a mortuary in Valencia, in the state of Carabobo, Venezuela August 25, 2016. When Venezuelan entrepreneurs Alejandro Blanchard and Elio Angulo decided to create cardboard coffins, they were looking for an ecological selling point to compete against classic wood and brass caskets. Three years on, with the oil-rich country mired in deep economic crisis, their "bio-coffins" are becoming a viable option because of high prices for wooden coffins and shortages of brass ones.

Wow The Fantasy Coffins from Ghana
Some people joke about having clowns at their funeral, but how about having a coffin that looks like a gigantic cellphone? It is impossible to tell at the first glance that these colorful sculptures are actually coffins. The coffins were made by Kane Kwei and his assistant Paa Joe more than twenty years ago and have been a somewhat grim tourist attraction ever since. These coffins were probably made as an advertisement for the actual business, since it would hard to imagine someone actually ordering a coffin such as this.

Fact End of Life in Japan
Noriaki Iwashima gestures as he lies in a coffin to try it out during an end-of-life seminar held by Japan's largest retailer Aeon Co in Tokyo October 24, 2014. Funeral arrangements are normally left to those who have been left behind but the latest trend in Japan, which literally translates to "End of life" preparations, is for the ageing to prepare their own funerals and graves before they set off on their journey to the great beyond. With a population that is expected to shrink by nearly 30 million people over the next 50 years, the market for funerals, graves and anything related to the afterlife is still very much alive.

Bad news from the future
My current work-in-progress (well, work-in-extremely-slow-progress) is a fall-of-civilization novel called In the Midst of Lions that I swear wasn't inspired by the events of the last year and a half. Set in 2035, it chronicles the struggles of five completely ordinary people to survive in a hellscape that has been created by an all-too-successful rebellion and war, that one character correctly calls "burning down the house you're locked in" because the resulting chaos is as deadly to the rebels as to the people they're rebelling against.
I suppose it's natural enough to assume the future is gonna be pretty bad. I mean, look around. The United States is gearing up for another catastrophic heat wave, we're in the middle of a pandemic, and so much of the western U.S. is on fire that the smoke is making it difficult to breathe here in upstate New York.
I try to stay optimistic, but being an inveterate worrier, it's hard at times.
Albert Goodwin, Apocalypse (1903) [Image is in the Public Domain]
If the current news isn't bad enough, just yesterday I ran into not one but two people who claim to be time travelers from the future who have come back somehow to let us know that we're in for a bad time.
The first, who calls himself Javier, goes by the moniker @UnicoSobreviviente ("only survivor") and posts videos allegedly from the year 2027 on TikTok. "I just woke up in a hospital and I don't know what happened," he says. "Today is February 13, 2027 and I am alone in the city."
How he's posting on TikTok in 2021 if he's stuck in 2027, he never explains.
However, I must admit the videos are a little on the creepy side. They do appear to show a city devoid of human life. On the other hand, everything looks like it's in pretty good shape. One theme I've had to deal with in my own novel is how fast stuff would fall apart/stop working if we were to stop maintaining it -- the answer, in most cases, seems to be "pretty damn fast." (If you are looking for a somewhat depressing but brilliantly interesting read, check out the book The World Without Us by Alan Weisman, which considers this question in detail.)
So either Javier showed up immediately after the rest of humanity vanished, or else his videos are just an example of a cleverly-edited hoax.
I know which I think is more likely.
The other alleged time traveler goes by the rather uncreative name @FutureTimeTraveler, and also posts on TikTok (apparently this is the preferred mode by which time travelers communicate with the present). And he says our comeuppance is gonna be a lot sooner than 2027. He says it will come at the hands of seven-foot-four-inch aliens with "long, distorted skulls" who will land on Earth on May 24, 2022. They're called Nirons, he says, and come in peace, but humans (whose habit of fucking up alien encounters has been the subject of countless movies and television shows) decide it's an invasion and fire on them. This initiates a war.
So we've got an alien race who can cross interstellar space fighting a species who thinks it's impressive when a billionaire launches himself for a few minutes aboard what appears to be a giant metal dick.
Guess who wins.
Interestingly, this is not the first case of an alleged time traveler talking about future attacks by Nirons. Another TikTok user, @ThatOneTimeTraveler, says the Nirons come from Saturn and we're going to get our asses handed to us.
So, corroboration, amirite? Must be true!
I figure I'm doing my civic duty by letting everyone know that they should get themselves ready for a rough ride. We've got the Nirons coming next year, then everyone vanishes five years after that, and if that's not bad enough, in 2035 there's a massive rebellion that takes down civilization entirely. (Yes, I know that (1) it's impossible to have a rebellion if everyone disappeared eight years earlier, and (2) the rebellion itself is part of a novel I made up myself. Stop asking questions.)
Anyhow, I figure knowing all this will take our minds off the fact that we seem to be doing our level best to destroy ourselves right here in the present. I'm hoping I at least live long enough to meet the Nirons. Sounds like they'll probably blast me with their laser guns immediately afterward, but you know how I am about aliens. If I'm gonna die anyway, that's a fitting end.
One of the characteristics which is -- as far as we know -- unique to the human species is invention.
Given a problem, we will invent a tool to solve it. We're not just tool users; lots of animal species, from crows to monkeys, do that. We're tool innovators. Not that all of these tools have been unequivocal successes -- the internal combustion engine comes to mind -- but our capacity for invention is still astonishing.
In The Alchemy of Us: How Humans and Matter Transformed One Another, author Ainissa Ramirez takes eight human inventions (clocks, steel rails, copper telegraph wires, photographic film, carbon filaments for light bulbs, hard disks, scientific labware, and silicon chips) and looks not only at how they were invented, but how those inventions changed the world. (To take one example -- consider how clocks and artificial light changed our sleep and work schedules.)
Ramirez's book is a fascinating lens into how our capacity for innovation has reflected back and altered us in fundamental ways. We are born inventors, and that ability has changed the world -- and, in the end, changed ourselves along with it.
