Whether one reads about the reducetarian movement, the benefits to the environment, or an entire medical journal dedicated to plant-based health, adopting a whole-foods, plant-based (WFPB) diet is a hot commodity. A recent marketing survey reported that an astounding 70 percent of the world's population is reducing or eliminating meat consumption. After four decades of eating a WFPB diet and three decades advising the same to patients in my clinic, I have some insight into how to take a vegan diet and make it "vegan-plus." I tell my patients that one way they can be "smart" vegans is by not packing prepared and junk-food versions of plant-based food. Here are four other lessons I have learned over the years to make your vegan diet even more successful.
Many (if not most) people who eat a meat-centric diet are deficient in nutrients and fiber. A vegan diet is a great choice to counter these deficiencies, but the importance of smart supplementation should not be overlooked for people of all dietary persuasions. Michael Greger, MD, of NutritionFacts.org has recommended several supplements for all persons eating a WFPB diet. One is vitamin B-12, and there should be no excuse for avoiding this widely available supplement. Approximately 250 micrograms a day of cyanocobalamin is recommended, but I recommend the methylcobalamin version if genetic testing reveals an abnormality of the MTHFR 677 allele (measured on blood work in my clinic). Vitamin D3, available now in vegan versions, in a dose of 2,000 International Units a day is recommended unless regular summer sun exposure is certain. Finally, algae-based omega-3 such as 250–500 milligrams a day of EPA and DHA is recommended, while iodine can be obtained from seaweed or iodinized salt. If you do not use these items, 150 micrograms a day in a supplement is recommended.
The organic food sector is growing rapidly but still accounts still for less than 10 percent of food purchases. There is no doubt that when faced with the choice of eating conventional produce or none, we should eat the conventionally grown fruit and vegetables. Studies demonstrate the health benefits of eating up to 10 servings of produce a day, and these benefits far outweigh the risks of the pesticides often found on the produce. However, when faced with the choice of conventional or organic components of a WFPB diet, new data favors the organic selection.
If you have adopted a vegan diet for health, you can take that drive to an even higher level with the ample medical evidence that fasting has many benefits, as demonstrated in research studies. The reality is that not everyone achieves ideal body weight or control of inflammation from a WFPB diet, and overeating might be a reason why. At my clinic, I use a fasting mimicking plan developed at the University of Southern California by Valter Longo, PhD. After years of research, his team has shown reductions in weight, visceral fat, inflammation, and markers of cardiovascular disease. Even better? The program is plant-based.
All food has some calories from fat, and there is no such thing as a fat-free vegan diet, as any diet based on fruit, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains will contain fat. If whole nuts, olives, and avocados are avoided, the overall calories from fat might be in the range of 10 percent, while diets with these whole foods can reach approximately 35 percent. Both approaches have evidence for healthy outcomes in the general public. That is quite distinct from adding processed oils, no matter what kind, to a WFPB diet. All oils extract only the fat calories from the original source, while leaving behind many nutrients and all the fiber. There is concerning data that even olive oil temporarily reduces artery function, and it has been proposed that the Mediterranean Diet is healthy despite the oils, not because of them.

20 (+) years Vort'n Vis
Posted: November 16, 2011 in History
Tags: HardCore, Punk, Vort'n Vis
(written on the occasion of the Vort'n Vis 20th birthday: Ieper, June 3rd, 2009)
Is it really already 20 years ago that the Vort'n Vis was established? We really start to grow old. The present 'mother'-association 'Autonomous Regional Meeting-centre' (ART; Autonoom Regionaal Trefcentrum') was founded on May 21st 1989 and was then still called 'Autonomous Youth Centre' (AJC; 'Autonoom Jongerencentrum'). A month later, on June 23rd, 1989, it would initiate it's pub, the Vort'n Vis [South-West-Flemish dialect for 'rotten fish']. Sometimes the time before an event seems long ago, while for other things it only seems like a while ago. It is hard to imagine but 20 years ago the world looked very different on many levels. To get an idea: here are a few comparisons.
Technologically, things were very different. Internet was not yet available for the big masses (it was still a technically very complicated thing, only for militaries and academics), a 40Mb hard-disk was a very big hard-disk (13 songs in MP3 format; nowadays a memory-stick holds 4 to 8 Gb and a hard-disk up to 320 Gb) and an AT-computer with 386-processor (8-16 Mhz) was a very modern thing (at present a processor of a standard computer clocks at 1333 Mhz). The spaceship Voyager 2 had made the first images of Uranus and Neptunus (and their moons) in January 1986 and August 1989, and after centuries of speculation we finally knew how these looked like from nearby. The Space Shuttles were already operating and on January 28th, 1986 one had already exploded. This space-technology of the era 1970-1980 is still flying (with outdated computer-processors!); seems like they will have to retire soon.
Politically the world also looked totally different. The Iron Curtain, the Eastern Bloc and the Sovjet-Union were about to disappear. The nowadays reunited Germany was still divided in West- and communist East-Germany. On May 2nd, 1989 Hungary opened the Iron Curtain and on November '89 East-Germany also opened its borders. On the other side of the world the Chinese student-protests in Beijing on June 4th, 1989 were bloodily suppressed. In 1988 Ronald Reagan served his last term as president of the United (6 years later he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's), Gorbatsjov was at the top of the Sovjet-Union, John-Paul II was pope, Martens our Prime Minister Boudewijn I still king of the still unitary and non-federal (but already trilingual) Belgium, and the Cold War was starting to thaw a bit (years later it would turn out we'd only just escaped an accidental nuclear war – in that case there probably wouldn't have been a Vort'n Vis, Pit's or 4AD). At that time the big enemies of the West weren't the islamists, but the communists. Even more: the West still supported the islamitic resistance against the Sovjet occupation in Afghanistan. Small problem: years later the islamitic militants in Afghanistan would not only destroy their own country after dispelling the Sovjet-occupiers, but also attack their former Western allies. Only a few things haven't changed yet: Kadhafi was already in power in Libia, Mugabe in Zimbabwe, and Fidel Castro in Cuba. And the 'Vlaams Blok/Belang' [The extreme right, nationalist party 'Vlaams Blok' was considerd racist after a court-case; they changed their name into 'Vlaams Belang' to be able to continue.] was already then against everything and everyone who was a bit 'different'.
Also the music-world looked different then. The big record-companies still had the monopoly on the recording and distribution of music, although a lot more small and independent record-labels and fanzines popped up since the punk- and new-wave revolution of 1977 to break their monopolies (one of which was the alternative record-label 4AD after which the music-centre in Diksmuide was called). Music was then still recorded on cassettes and vinyl. The greedy music-industry felt already then threatened by home-taping (which allowed us to swap lp's with friends and record them without buying). The industry was already campaigning against the copying of music; the slogan at that time was: 'Hometaping is killing music'. The fact that 20 years later – despite the increased possibilities to copy and distribute – more music and more different musical styles exist than ever, seems to prove them wrong. ;-)
Recording and distributing music independently was technically and organisationally still a very cumbersome challenge that required a lot perseverance. Laptops and internet were not yet available for the masses (that only happened halfway the 90s with the arrival of the browser Netscape); it was still too sluggish for the distribution of music – MP3 and MySpace didn't exist yet. For music that differed from the mainstream, one still had to explore obscure record-stores for half a day, or the boxes obscure distros at obscure concerts. A lot of these obscure concerts in that time-frame were organised by the legendary Smurfpunx of Brob, Mokka and co in Netwerk in Aalst. It was there that the idea was born to start with the Vort'n Vis in Ieper ("If others can do this, then we can realise this in our own area too.").
One had to inform her/him-self on what alternative music was available via small concerts in old pig-sheds on the country-side and through fanzines with a 'print-run' of 50 pieces, and records had to be ordered at small distros (like the Nieuwe Koekrand) via 'Aunty Post'. To get to know other music than that of the major record-labels, the music-lover then really had to make an effort, so she/he awarded a bigger value to the music. The irony of the fate is that the democratisation of the music reduced the value and the expiration-date of that very music. Democratisation of the creativity does lead to more creativity, but unfortunately also to more junk. But the freedom to take one's chances and to make junk is indeed the price of that freedom (where others have fought for under more difficult circumstances). Luckily more real talents can also take a shot because of that bigger freedom, making the result positive in the end. Compare the music of today with that of 20 years ago, and it's clear that an enormous evolution has taken place. Almost everything has changed. There are (unfortunately!) a few consistencies: at parties DJs still, after a quarter century, play that dreaded 'Meat Loaf' and 'Deep Purple'; the music-industry is still as conservative and greedy, and SABAM [author's rights organisation] is still the private tax-service of the music-business. :-(
Also socially the world looked different. The Westhoek [area around Ieper] and the rest of the South of West-Flanders still was a backward hell-hole where reactionary catholics waved the sceptre and decided what was best for the others. When you looked different or did your own thing without their permission, you were constantly kicked your ass: regular identity-checks, razzias at parties or concerts, fines based on dubious rules, administrative detentions, and other harassment and forms of abuse of power. For many young people and creative souls the Westhoek and the rest of the South of West-Flanders was a suffocating, backward peasant-hole, and many moved to the big cities.
This is more or less the background by the end of the 80s. Being young and creative wasn't easy back then. But the most stubborn refused to flee and started to unite. During this period the 4AD (Diksmuide), the Pit's (Kortrijk) and the Vort'n Vis (Ieper) arose. All worked, in their own manner according the principles of DIY (Do It Yourself) and 'think globally, act locally'. Each had their own local operation but they did maintain close mutual contact. This triplet were the meeting-places of those who were 'different' in the South of West-Flanders back then. They each had their specialty. In the beginning the Vort'n Vis focussed mainly on hardcore and punk, the 4AD on experimental music and the Pit's on alternative rock, even though also the other genres were addressed. The Vort'n Vis eventually became the incubator of the H8000-crew (in hardcore-circles internationally notorious West-Flemish hardcore-scene) that spawned many local but internationally famous hardcore-bands like 'Congress' and 'Liar'. Nowadays the 'Republyk' Vort'n Vis organises, with its sister-organisation from Ghent Genet, the yearly hardcore-festival Ieperfest. The Vort'n Vis, that once started as a small pub on the Kiekenmarkt in Ieper begun to walk the path of a medium-sized association and concert-organiser. But this didn't happen by accident.
By taking their fate in their own hands, establishing their own free meeting-place and not caring about the opinion of the local authorities and people-in-the-street, the Vort'n Vis, the Pits and the 4AD gave them the middle-finger. The founders of the Vort'n Vis were open about the fact that they too were born in Ieper and that they wouldn't hide themselves any longer for the Anglo-Saxon war-tourists. The founders of the 4AD no longer wanted to hide each year for the nazis coming to the 'IJzerbedevaart' to terrorize the locals.
The local authorities and elite in the 80s reacted very furious against the fact that those 'a-socials' no longer wanted to hide because of appearances , in the place they were born. And they continuously sent down the cops. In response, the Republyk Vort'n Vis (RVV) declared itself independent of Belgium and Flanders on April 1st 1990, after the example of the former Sovjet-republics (who'd declared their independence in the same period). The RVV declared itself the 4th member-state of the BeNeLuxVort and the 13th member-state of the European Community (who only counted 12 back then). The collaborators of the RVV pronounced themselves Members of the Government and diplomats of the RVV, and demanded diplomatic immunity for themselves. For practical reasons we maintained a trade-relationship with the Kingdom of Belgium because the brewery was located there. ;-)
In the beginning the Vort'n Vis was closed down once for 2 weeks for "noise-complaints". There was also twice a razzia during concerts. The first time the arrested punks and Dutch squatters almost demolished the police-station in Ieper, and the second time people were just laughing in the cops' faces ("See you next time!", the cops waved goodbye when they left frustrated and with a 'result'; and we just partied on.). The cops also wanted to try a third razzia but when they arrived at the Vort'n Vis with all their busses, we had closed down early because there were no people, so they stood for a closed door. To save their faces, they did a razzia in a newly opened trendy pub where the kids of the local elite were. It would seen that the floor there was covered with drugs. Ever since they never tried another razzia at the Vort'n Vis. ;-)
In the mean time the Vort'n Vis became an established value in the underground milieu and accepted by the locals as a full member of their community. After all these years we have been able to prove that we were more than a bunch of "a-social marginals". We have been able to prove that we were able to accomplish something and that the DIY meeting-centre wasthere to stay. Meanwhile we became owner of our own building in the Sint-Jacobsstraat.
But once things were different. Without idealistic go-getters who dared to swim against the current, this would never had happened, let alone stayed that way. One can indeed change the circumstances and the course of history, even if it's only via small contributions in the nearby surroundings or by gratefully using new technologies, new conditions and other possibilities.
Meanwhile the mother-association ART has had some offspring. On April 1st, 1994 the record-company/distribution Genet / Fuse [Brob: the latter being a short-lived cooperation of Genet, Tilt! & United We Stand…] seperated from the mother-association and nowadays Genet is a sister-association based in Ghent. ART and Genet were since then the driving force behind the, in 1992 founded, Hardcore-festival that is now known as Ieperfest. On January 23rd, 2005 the mother-association ART was split in 3 associations (1 management-association and 2 operational associations) each with their own function. This in order to spread out the risks. The mother-association ART was slimmed down to a management-association that controls the building and properties of the association. Next to that, the operational association Republyk Vort'n Vis (RVV) was founded, accounting for the youth-house. And together with Genet, the sister-association in Ghent, the RVV has founded the association YperVist / Ieperfest, that organises the yearly Ieperfest. These 4 associations together form the Vort'n Vis Family, sort of a Vort'n Vis community modelled after the European Union.

The Snook is a slender-bodied fish, with high fins and a distinctively sloping forehead. Its mouth protrudes in a narrow line, while its tail is gently forked. Its soft scales are pale in color, with golden undertones and flecks of gray. This breed is noted for its quick speeds and high prey drives. It will flock to any source of food it can find.
This makes it a challenge for anglers to catch. The Snook is forever moving and forever unpredictable. Understanding basic fishing techniques, however, will allow travelers to confidently board their charter ships (like the ALIN).
Before attempting a Snook charter on the ALIN anglers should remember these rules:
The Snook hunts most often in the early morning or in the late evening. Do not attempt to catch this fish during the afternoon. The temperatures are too hot and the presence of so many boats will drive this breed away.
The Snook has a wide range and is always flitting from one current to the next. Sail into deep water to find it. Be willing to change course repeatedly, adapting to the different schools.
The Snook will eat everything and anything. Certain breeds, however, will tempt it to a line or net. Choose Pigfish, Sardines and Ladyfish. They move well and leave strong scent trails.
A Snook charter can be successful... as long as anglers choose the proper time, location and bait.

Costa Rica is the most diverse bio-scape in the world.
This is not an exaggeration, offered as a way to tempt tourists. It is instead a fact. This country, which comprises only one-third of a percent of the Earth's total mass, boasts over four percent of its species. Within the 19,739 square miles is a dynamic collection of flora and fauna, representing both the Caribbean and Pacific coasts.
And it is this reason that leads many anglers to explore both in-shore and off-shore fishing.
Costa Rica offers an endless variety of fish. Many anglers, therefore, expand their usual techniques, chartering ships (like the Fandango) for shallow and deep waters. This allows them to experience what the country has to offer.
In-Shore Breeds
Along the continental shelves and sandy bays travelers will find many fish. The most common of these are Snooks, Snappers, Jack Crevalles and Spanish Mackerels. These creatures prove challenging due to their speeds and tendencies to hide among sea-grass, debris and more.
Off-Shore Breeds
Within the deep waters of Costa Rica there are countless fish. The most common of these are Blue Marlins, Sailfish, Dorados and Black Marlins. These creatures are noted for their strength and tenacity, making them difficult to catch.
The opportunities are without limit. Charter a ship, like the Fandango, to explore Costa Rica.

The Cubera Snapper is a powerful fish, with a heavy body and stout tail. Its mouth is wide, with sharp teeth protruding from the bottom lip. Short caudal fins flair along its sides and highlight the gray coloring. This is a reef-dwelling breed, prone to pouncing on its prey. It is slow-moving but strong.
It's also one of the many creatures found in Costa Rica.
The Cubera Snapper lives in the shallow waters found along Los Suenos. Many anglers (after choosing a charter service, like the Wett Ryder) seek this fish out, hoping to find a challenge.
Choosing to hunt in the wrong season and with the wrong bait, however, turns that challenge into an impossibility. Anglers must understand basic Cubera facts before trying to chase them:
The Cubera Snapper is most active from May until August.
The Cubera Snapper is found in shallow, off-shore waters (such as reefs, continental shelfs and sandy drop-offs). It will hide itself among seagrass beds and debris.
The Cubera Snapper is a carnivore. It relies on Shrimp, Crabs and smaller fish to survive. Bait should be a blend of these elements to lure this creature out.
The Cubera Snapper attracts many predators. Anglers should look for heavy populations of eels, barracudas and sea-birds to gauge a location.
Use these suggestions while on a charter trip (like the one provided by the Wett Ryder) and discover success.

The Amberjack is a stout-bodied fish, with dark stripes running across its belly and a wide-forked tail. It has a soft frame, free of scutes or spiny scales, and its rich olive coloring is punctuated by rings of black around its eyes. It is a deep-sea hunter and a favorite among Costa Rican anglers. They often try to track it.
They don't often catch, however, because they use the wrong bait.
Amberjacks are a fickle fish. Any charter crew (like the one found on the Go Fish) will swear to that. This breed's tastes are ever-changing, targeting a wide variety of small or medium prey. An angler can't expect to attract them, therefore, with only type of bait.
Variety is needed.
When chartering an Amberjack tour from the Go Fish, remember to choose multiple options:
Amberjacks are more discriminating than their deep-sea siblings. They choose their prey deliberately. A variety of live bait becomes essential, therefore, to anticipate their moods. Try Grayfish, Croakers, Squids and Spots. If one fails, hook another.
Amberjacks are an intelligent breed. Lures must reflect this, being of high-quality designs to attract them. Choose brightly colored pieces (rubber or vinyl materials are recommended) that feature mirrors or heavy beading. Beetles, Grubs and Minnows are strongly suggested. Toss these in at different depths to ensure greater coverage.
An Amberjack is a popular Costa Rican fish. Catching it, however, requires more than the basic rods and reels. An extensive collection of bait is needed.

Costa Rica embraces all fishing forms -- from on-shore reeling to deep-sea chasing to everything in between. Its diverse shoreline accommodates every angler, and each season brings a new breed to find.
Many of those breeds stay far from the coastline, however. Instead they remain on the shelves and inlet bottoms, hidden from plain view.
A charter service (like the Dream Catcher) can help to draw them out.
Bottom fishing is a popular Costa Rican option. Many charter services, like the Dream Catcher, provide anglers with access to a variety of creatures.
The most common of these are:
The Amberjack
The Amberjack is a large, dark-stripped fish. Its thin dorsal fins and forked tail propel it quickly through the water, allowing it to chase after its prey (which includes Squid, Crustaceans and more). It favors the Pacific bottom, choosing to hunt among passing debris.
The Triggerfish
The Triggerfish is a large-headed breed, with a compressed body but strong jaw. This, when combined with its brilliant coloring, gives it a distinctive appearance. It favors bottom waters, resting often on continental shelfs or reefs.
The Grouper
The Grouper is wide-mouthed fish, with a flat body and high-set eyes. Powerful gills frame its sides. It moves slowly through the bottom waters but often hides in sand shelters or rock formations, making it difficult to catch.
These fish are among the many waiting beneath the Pacific surface. Charter a ship, like the Dream Catcher, to discover the thrills of bottom fishing.

Is the San Andreas fault line at risk of the 'BIG ONE'? New-found 15 mile-long formation in the area could be ground zero for California's next massive earthquake
Experts mapped the southern 20 miles of the 15 mile long fault zone to make the new discovery
They found a highly faulted, never before seen area in the region called the Durmid ladder structure
It is 0.6 to 2.5 miles wide and is found in the upper 1.8 to 3.1 miles of the ground
Scientists say there's a 75% chance for a magnitude seven or larger event in California within 30 years
A tectonic time bomb that threatens to set off a huge earthquake under California could be triggered by a newly-discovered structure in the San Andreas fault.
Experts believe a newly-uncovered 15 mile (25km) long formation, dubbed the Durmid ladder structure, could be ground zero for the next major earthquake to hit the region, colloquially known as 'Big One'.
The discovery was made during an extensive geological study which examined the southern tip of the (1,300-km) long fault zone, which many believe will set off the next big earthquake.
A tectonic time bomb that threatens to set off a huge earthquake under California may be triggered by a newly discovered structure in the San Andreas fault. Experts uncovered a 15 mile (25 km) long formation, dubbed the Durmid ladder structure
Researchers have been warning that the state is overdue for a highly destructive earthquake since early last year.
A new study has also found that there's a 75 per cent chance for a magnitude seven or larger event in both northern and southern California within the next 30 years.
That's thanks to 'slow earthquakes' that pass unnoticed by people, but which experts say can trigger large destructive quakes in their surroundings.
Scientists from the Geological Society of America found the structure using detailed geologic and structural mapping of the southern 20 miles (30 km) of the San Andreas fault zone in southern California.
It was named the Durmid ladder structure because it is located in the Durmid Hill region, a highly-faulted area of rock that is 0.6 to 2.5 miles (one to four km) wide.
The Durmid ladder structure is found in the upper 1.8 to 3.1 miles (three to five km) of the ground and, as its name suggests, has a broken ladder-like pattern.
The structure extends from the well-known main line of the San Andreas fault on the northeast side, to a newly identified East Shoreline fault zone on the opposite edge.
Experts say that if seismic activity triggered the collapse of the Durmid ladder structure and the wider San Andreas Fault, the effects would likely be felt across a 15 square mile (40 sq km) area.
The exact effects are hard to predict, due to the unusual shape of the ladder, with fault lines extending both vertically and horizontally.
The strength of the earthquake would depend on whether the whole structure collapsed at once, or if each of the fault lines was triggered individually.
However, at its worse, the Durmid latter could result in a devastating magnitude 7.5 or stronger earthquake, researchers have forecast.
Writing in a paper on the findings, its authors said: 'The great width of the East Shoreline fault zone in Durmid Hill and the even larger width and spatial extent of the Durmid ladder structure imply that surface faulting hazards from a major earthquake rupture in this part of the San Andreas fault zone might be dispersed across a 15 square mile (40 sq km) area, if both master faults and the intervening cross faults are activated at once.
'If ladder-like strike-slip fault zone rupture in a piecemeal fashion they will have an especially unpredictable surface-faulting hazard.'

Fears of California's 'Big One' were stirred in May 2017, when an expert warned that a destructive earthquake will hit the state 'imminently'.
Seismologist Dr Lucy Jones, from the US Geological Survey, warned in a dramatic speech that people need to protect themselves, rather than ignore the threat.
Researchers have been warning since early last year that the state is overdue for a highly destructive earthquake. Pictured is the destruction after the magnitude 6.7 Northridge earthquake hit Los Angeles in 1994
Dr Jones said people's decision not to accept it will only mean more suffer as scientists warn the 'Big One' is now overdue to hit California.
In a keynote speech to a meeting of the Japan Geoscience Union and American Geophysical Union, Dr Jones warned the public is yet to accept the randomness of future earthquakes.
People should be preparing now, she warned.
Dr Jones and her team have published a scenario of a 7.8 earthquake on the San Andreas fault, which they predict could kill many people and devastate 15,000 buildings.
In 2011, a magnitude nine earthquake hit the east coast of Japan and killed some 20,000 people.
'The city leaders ignored protocol that said to move to higher ground and conducted their emergency meeting in the city hall', said Dr Jones.
'When the tsunami poured over the sea wall, they lost over 1,000 people, including most of their city government'.
The full findings of the latest study were published in the journal Lithosphere.

The leaders of the Global CIimate Strike's New York movement took a well-deserved bow on Saturday night. But their message is that we have to keep going.
A day after a record-setting global climate strike — one in which 4 million people in 163 countries protested government inaction on the climate emergency — there was cause for a pause.
Saturday night, 11 of the youth who helped organize the New York strike — one of 5,000 around the world, and the biggest in the U.S, with an estimated 250,000 participants — got onstage to briefly catch their breath, to share their stories, their passions, their joy at the success of the event, and, interestingly, their frustration with UN officials who disappointed them at an event held earlier in the day.
Xiye Bastida, the most renowned of these young climate youth leaders, and herself an indigenous climate refugee, spoke first, and vented her frustration, which centered on a sentiment that the UN had "used" the youth for a photo op, without actually making the commitments necessary to move the needle on the climate emergency.
(Those sentiments were echoed later today by Greta Thunberg, who gave a fiery speech of her own at the UN, saying, "This is all wrong. I shouldn't be up here. I should be in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you come to us young people for hope. How dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words.")
Sandwiching their onstage appearance at the Concert Hall at Ethical Culture on New York's Upper West Side Saturday, though, were moments of tremendous uplift in the form of musical appearances by some very inspiring artists.
Kicking off the evening was a pair of Native American indigenous leaders — one from the U.S., and one from Brazil — who took note of the tragic, human-set fires burning in the latter. "The eagle and the condor must come together," they noted, referring to an Amazonian prophecy that saw "human societies splitting into two paths — that of the Eagle, and that of the Condor. The path of the Condor is the path of heart, of intuition, and of the feminine. The path of the Eagle is the path of the mind, of the industrial, and of the masculine."
In the prophecy, according to the online Pachamama Alliance blog, "during the next 500-year period, beginning in 1990, the potential would arise for the Eagle and the Condor to come together, to fly in the same sky, and to create a new level of consciousness for humanity. The prophecy only speaks of the potential, so it's up to us to activate this potential and ensure that a new consciousness is allowed to arise."
This relevant metaphor set the tone for an evening of heartfelt, global-minded performances from a line-up that featured (in order of appearance) singer/songwriter Amanda Holley, Grammy-winner Ricky Kej & the World Ensemble; the Los Angeles teen sensations the Compton Kidz Club; and Nigerian Afro-dancehall artist Lamboginny.
Kej's website describes his art as "world music for environmental consciousness," and as he noted in his four-song set, he has made a pledge that every song he writes or performs going forward will in some way address the climate crisis or the SDGs. Kej was recently made a UN Goodwill Ambassador for the Land SDG, and the videos playing behind the band onstage showed animals and ecosystems in their organic, natural beauty.
The Compton Kidz (who will certainly be familiar to anyone who watched the Earth's Call inaugural concert in Aspen this past May) sang their anthem "Stand Up," which most of the audience seemed to take as a command, as they rose to dance and clap along to the gospel-inflected soul pop. The 11-member troupe asked the 11 youth representatives who had spoken just prior to their performance to come back onstage, whereupon the Compton Kidz serenaded them, honoring and thanking them for their work in environmental activism.
That interactive quality continued with the evening's anchor act, Lamboginny, whose website describes him as an "artist for humanitarian causes." Lamboginny invited the entire audience onstage for his electric performance, and stood in the middle of a ring of audience members who danced around him. Lamboginny teared up a few times as he delivered an emphatic, fervent plea for eco justice.
As a whole, the evening was a refreshing, invigorating reminder that we can stop and enjoy ourselves for a moment, but that we also still have a lot of work to do.

It took nerve for writer/director Preston Sturges to lampoon the whole concept of hero worship in the middle of World War II, but once more Sturges' oddball sense of taste and propriety paid off at the box office in Hail the Conquering Hero. Eddie Bracken plays the son of a World War I Marine hero who is the first in his small town to sign up for military service. When Bracken is discharged from the Marines for hay fever, he hasn't the nerve to go home and tell his mother and the rest of the townsfolk. Fortunately, he is befriended by a bunch of good-hearted Marines, led by sergeant William Demarest. Bracken's new buddies decide to help him save face by accompanying him to his home and telling one and all that Bracken has served valiantly in the Pacific. Lauded as a hero thanks to this subterfuge, the hapless Bracken finds himself being coerced into running for mayor! When he finally does confess the truth, the townspeople decide that only a real hero would own up to his lies in public. As always, Preston Sturges' richly varied supporting cast makes the most of every scene they're in, especially Raymond Walburn as a blustering politico and Franklin Pangborn as a persnickety councilman. Special mention must be made of Ella Raines as a refreshingly non-cliched heroine, and ex-boxer Freddie Steele as a morose Marine with a Mother complex. While Eddie Bracken's nerdish mannerisms can wear on the viewer, he is kept marvelously in check throughout Hail the Conquering Hero. Hal Erickson, Rovi Read Less

Q: How to Set the Background Color of a JButton on the Mac OS Normally with Java Swing you can set the background color of a button with:
myJButton.setBackground(Color.RED);

which would cause the button to be red. But on the Mac OS, this method seems to be ignored. The button just stays the default color.
How can the color of a JButton be set on the Mac OS?

A: Have you tried setting JButton.setOpaque(true)?
JButton button = new JButton("test");
button.setBackground(Color.RED);
button.setOpaque(true);

A: Have you tried setting the painted border false?
JButton button = new JButton();
button.setBackground(Color.red);
button.setOpaque(true);
button.setBorderPainted(false);

It works on my mac :)

A: If you are not required to use Apple's look and feel, a simple fix is to put the following code in your application or applet, before you add any GUI components to your JFrame or JApplet:
 try {
    UIManager.setLookAndFeel( UIManager.getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName() );
 } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
 }

That will set the look and feel to the cross-platform look and feel, and the setBackground() method will then work to change a JButton's background color.

A: I own a mac too! here is the code that will work:
myButton.setBackground(Color.RED);
myButton.setOpaque(true); //Sets Button Opaque so it works

before doing anything or adding any components set the look and feel so it looks better:
try{
   UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName());
 }catch(Exception e){
  e.printStackTrace();
 }

That is Supposed to change the look and feel to the cross platform look and feel, hope i helped! :)

A: Based on your own purposes, you can do that based on setOpaque(true/false) and setBorderPainted(true/false); try and combine them to fit your purpose

#Interview: Scannain Talks The Little Stranger with Ruth Wilson
British actor Ruth Wilson was in Dublin last week for the European premiere of his latest film, The Little Stranger, at Light House Cinema Light House Cinema is a specialist independent cinema in Smithfield, Dublin. Their eclectic schedule includes feature films, shorts, classics, foreign language ... More.
The Little Stranger is directed by Lenny Abrahamson and written by Lucinda Coxon, based on the novel of same name by Sarah Waters. Will Poulter plays Roderick Ayres, a disfigured Royal Air Force veteran, who has inherited the 18th century Hundred Halls, where he lives with his mother (Charlotte Rampling) and sister (Ruth Wilson). The film follows Dr. Faraday (Domhnall Gleeson) the son of a housemaid, who has built a life of quiet respectability as a country doctor. During the long hot summer of 1948, he is called to a patient at Hundreds Hall, where his mother once worked. The Hall has been home to the Ayres family for more than two centuries. But it is now in decline and its inhabitants are haunted by something more ominous than a dying way of life. When he takes on his new patient, Faraday has no idea how closely, and how terrifyingly, the family's story is about to become entwined with his own.
The Little Stranger is produced by Potboiler Productions' Gail Egan (The Constant Gardener) and Andrea Calderwood (The Last King of Scotland), and Element Pictures' Ed Guiney (Room). It is executive produced by Cameron McCracken for Pathé, Daniel Battsek for Film4, Andrew Lowe for Element Pictures Element Pictures is run by Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe, with offices in Dublin and London, working across production, distribution, and exhibition.

Your character has the most agency in the film. You have the strongest character arc…
She does have a journey in it. It was interesting. She's quite a complex character and I partly feel like a lot of the characters in this piece don't really know what they want or who there are. They are sort of finding it as the piece goes on. I think that Caroline eventually says what she wants and that's when it's stamped out. Also what is great is that people have picked up on the patriarchy theme.
What did you learn about the character of Caroline?
I asked Sarah Waters about it as I wanted a bit of back-story because on the page it is all through Faraday's eyes, she is seen through his eyes. He is the protagonist in the novel and it's all about his subjective view of who this woman is. And he fetishes her. He looks at her legs, he looks at her body. It is pretty grim actually, in the way that he really observes her. So it was interesting. I had to pull away from that and kind of find an objective version of that, but also what he might look at. I asked Sarah about her past. Where has Caroline been prior to this? She was at war. She was a WREN. She would have been amongst women. She would have had freedom, a taste of freedom. She would have not been within the constraints of her hierarchical breeding. She would have been out of class and they all would have had a singular purpose. And I think being around women would have been really interesting and suddenly she's thrust back into the world that she lived in growing up. And forced into a relationship and burdened by the pressures of her family, but also this relationship. And that happens more often than not. It has happened for years, women or men getting into relationships that they are not really that keen on. It's society or it's convenient. "Maybe I should, he's not a bad guy…" and actually she says no and that's amazing.
Do you see the tides shifting? Are you getting better scripts?
I think so. I think tides are shifting, but I think it's going to take a few years. I think that tides are shifting and there's already amazing women out there as screenwriters or directors or elsewhere behind the camera. So they are getting more opportunities now. They are being listened to more. And the work is being accepted more. So yes it is changing. It's just going to be another few years before we really feel the change.

A: It appears that 'pgcc' is not the name of your compiler. Are you sure you didn't mean to use 'gcc'?
Basically, the configure command is trying to produce a 'hello world' style program just to make sure that it has access to a working compiler.

Jordan Sachs
Born and raised in Richmond, VA, Jordan is a person in recovery who is passionate about McShin's mission and purpose. Shortly after graduating from Deep Run High School in 2012, his life took a major turn after being hospitalized as a result of appendicitis. After receiving strong opiate pain medication from his doctor, he went down a path of self-destruction in an attempt to achieve the high he fell in love with. As his addiction progressed, it became harder and harder to afford the high price of pills, so he turned to heroin as a more affordable option to achieve a very similar high. In 2015, Jordan's story almost came to an end as a result of a heroin overdose. A nurse in the emergency room told him and his family about McShin, that it might be a good place to check out.
Broken, terrified, lonely, and hopeless, Jordan moved into a McShin recovery house and started his journey in recovery. He has a become a great leader here at McShin, teaching others about addiction and recovery. He loves to help other people find hope, especially if they are just beginning their new path. Jordan says that McShin is a "headquarters for hope" and refers to the people here as his second family. Peer-to-peer recovery has been extremely successful for him and many others as an addiction solution. He is a face and voice of recovery, teaching people about addiction and recovery everywhere he goes. "We are sick people trying to get well," he says, "not bad people trying to get good." He believes in the importance of education and advocacy in communities, so that people will be more understanding and supportive of people like him. He says that "shame keeps a lot of people from getting help." Jordan works at McShin doing all things media-related. He films events, makes videos, and handles special projects. He is extremely grateful to be a part of McShin and its mission.

Michael Rochon with one of the new planters adorning the walkway of the new Ladies Bridge.
Two new wooden planters, made from the wood of the previous Ladies Bridge, built in 1923, have been placed at the entrance to the new bridge in Cruden Bay.
The winter took its toll this year as the original planter at the entrance to the bridge fell apart due to frost damage.
However, the bridge now has two brand new planters made out of original larch wood, with the natural aged appearance being left unpainted to preserve the rustic appearance of the old bridge.
The planters have been filled with crocuses which are about to come into bloom over the Easter period.
The planters were made by Michael Rochon on behalf of Port Erroll Heritage Group and donated to the village.
Mr Rochan said: "This is an opportunity for our group to show how passionate we are about the village.

Former American paratrooper Captain George Bransford made history on September 25, 1966, when he and deckhand Richard Obah landed a 1064-pound (482kg) black marlin, the first of this size in Australian waters. Over the years the fishing grounds have attracted celebrities such as late Hollywood movie star Lee Marvin, author Wilbur Smith, media mogul Rupert Murdoch, US president Jimmy Carter and golfers Greg Norman and Jack Nicklaus.
There are a couple of moments that were always stand out in anyone's fishing career.
the first time a 10 plus pound trout points it's nose downstream and starts peeling line off your reel.
that first hard run your 50lb Spanish mackerel makes when it first realises that it has been hooked.
the first jump of your 100 cm plus barramundi.
All of the above moments are moments that will never be forgotten.
The sequence of events that lead up to the moment that the worlds biggest game reel starts peeling off the line as though you had forgotten to tighten your drag up on your Bream rod. First of all the skipper calls out that they can see a fish… If it's a monster there may be a few expletives in there as well or more to the point a couple of repeatable words in amongst the expletives.
It is now all up to the fish to see if the skill of the crew convince the giant marlin that there is nothing unusual about this tuna it is about to eat. As Confucius says a journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step… your journey is going to start with a couple of slow clicks of your big game real. Click Click… ROAR!! It's a bit parachuting for the first time that first couple of seconds after you jump are a bit of a blur. The skipper and the deckhand will be giving your instructions… THIS IS FISHING BIG GAME FISHING.
Every meal is prepared by the onboard cook, who takes delight in exceeding your culinary expectations. Their mouth-watering meals are not complicated, but the quality of the food will have you feeling as though you were being served at a 5-star restaurant. They understand that you are not escaping the hustle and bustle of the real world to then encounter complicated food.
Wild Turkey is used for our Blue Water Season. It is 34 ft long and best suited for 4-6 people. A fully equipped game boat fit out with all of the bells and whistles as we search to capture the elusive 1000lb+ fish in the deep blue. With the latest and greatest Garmin sounders and radars to ensure your fishing experience is second to none, Wild Turkey is an easy choice for your next billfishing charter.
The Iron Lady is a 65-foot luxury live-aboard motor yacht – equipped with full air-conditioning, sleeping arrangements for 8 guests (3 bedrooms all with their own ensuite), a large saloon, open-air deck upstairs and four tenders to cater smaller, more personalised daily fishing adventures. The Lady is used as 'home base' throughout the duration of your fishing charter with a gourmet chef on board, a hostess and multiple fishing guides plus Captain Dan – you couldn't be better looked after during your charter.
The team at FishingEarth will work with you to put together the most cost-effective and time-efficient travel plans for you. You will remain comfortable and stress-free as you journey to this fabulous location and back home again..
Q. Where is Iron Lady & Wild Turkey now?
A. The Iron Lady and Wild Turkey are out with Capt Dan targeting everything from permit and barramundi through to 1000lb marlin.
A. Yep, each day the staff will wash anything you need to be washed.

April is National Autism Awareness Month, and there has been a lot of information in the news about the rising rates of autism spectrum disorders. The CDC now estimates that as many as 1 in 68 children are now being diagnosed with ASD. This is particularly frightening as it's not well understood what is behind this abrupt rise.
"While the search to find the exact cause for ASD is ongoing, the visual link to autistic behaviors provides some answers and help to improve quality of life," states COVD President, Dr. Ida Chung, O.D., FCOVD.
There has recently been a lot of research involving the role of vision in autism spectrum and other disorders, which you can read about here and here. There's also a piece about eye movements in ASD in the Huffington Post.
In our practice, every day we see children with ASD who exhibit visual processing deficits that interfere with school, play, and social interactions. Fortunately, most of these visual anomalies can be improved through vision therapy.
One of the most promising autism therapies available is DIR/Floortime, an approach which influences the style of the vision therapy we offer at the Vision & Conceptual Development Center. In fact, my colleague Dr. Mehrnaz Azimi Green holds an Intermediate Certificate as a DIR/Floortime provider. We first engage the child based on his individual interests, and adapt our therapy techniques based on those interests. We find this tailored approach to be successful with both neurotypical children and those with ASD or other special needs.
We also provide education to other professionals regarding the role of vision in autism spectrum disorders. To keep up-to-date with our speaking schedule, please join our mailing list (we send an e-newsletter about once a month), or visit our Facebook page.

KAJILLIONAIRE
By Roger Tennis - September 24, 2020
Old Dolio (Evan Rachel Wood) has spent her entire life learning to scam with her con artist parents Robert (Richard Jenkins) and Theresa (Debra Winger). Robbing post office boxes and other low-level illegal efforts highlight their meager existence. With past rent due on their dilapidated office building dwelling, the threesome hit upon a travel insurance scheme. During the trip, they meet the charming Melanie (Gina Rodriguez). Eager to change her lifestyle, she joins the grifters in thieving endeavors. The lives of all involved are affected.
Director/writer Miranda July ("Me and You and Everyone We Know") paints a quirky portrait of human foibles and desires. While too slow going at times, the character-driven plot gets a huge boost from some fine performances. Richard Jenkins, Debra Winger and Gina Rodriguez (TV's "Jane the Virgin") are award-worthy indeed. But it's Evan Rachel Wood who is the main attraction. In a subtle turn, she draws focus to Old Dolio (pay attention to why the parents gave her this name). Wearing baggy clothes and lowering her voice, Wood is rather boyish in appearance and manners. A transformation begins to take place after Melanie enters the picture. At first resentful because mom and dad treat the newcomer like a daughter, she begins to see a future beyond her parents. In a small, yet memorable, role is Mark Ivanir (Netflix's "Away") as Stovik, a man with no emotional filter. He works at the bubble factory next door to the office building where the family lives and collects the cheap rent (only $500 a month if they scrape suds from the factory off the walls each day). There are no laugh-out-loud moments, but humor is present during several situations (earthquakes, plane rides, etc.). Serious scenes occur throughout, including one senior citizen swindle. Details won't be revealed here - even how the title fits in. This is certainly a strange, but strong, relationship film. The unconventional and engaging "Kajillionaire" is right on the money. (3.5/5 CAMS)

In 1941 Taystee Bread, the sponsor of the Mandrake the Magician Radio Show, released six "Mandrake Adventure" leaflets and a colored cover. The collected leaflets formed a story on the meeting of Mandrake and Lothar.
"Mandrake and the Jungle Giants" ?
Early 1970's Fratelli Spada made 12 illustrated prose stories for their Mandrake - Il Vascello series.
Three of these Fratelli Spada prose stories were also reprinted in a French booklet entitled "La force de la persuasion".
In the years 1972-1975 "Avon Publications" in the U.S. published 15 novels based on Lee Falk's Phantom stories; "The Ghost Who Walks", "The Mysterious Ambassador", "Killer's Town", "The Vampires and the Witch", "The Curse of the Two-Headed Bull" by Lee Falk, "The Slave Market of Mucar", "The Scorpia Menace" by Basil Copper, "The Veiled Lady", "The Golden Circle", "The Mystery of the Sea Horse", "The Hydra Monster", "The Goggle-Eyed Pirates", "The Swamp Rats" by Frank S. Shawn (pen name of Ron Goulart), "The Island of Dogs" by Warren Shanahan and "The Assassins" by Carson Bingham.
Avon also launched a six-book series of adult-oriented Flash Gordon novels in 1973: "The Lion Men of Mongo", "The Plague of Sound", "The Space Circus", "The Time Trap of Ming XIII", "The Witch Queen of Mongo" and "The War of the Cybernauts". Although the books were credited to Alex Raymond, they were all written by Ron Goulart and Bruce Cassidy.
It is believed that Avon at this time also worked on a similar series with Mandrake, but none was published. One script was translated and published in Spain and Portugal.

In 1979 there was made a 100 minutes Mandrake movie by Universal TV. A novel was released based on the movie.


In an interview with Piers Morgan, President Trump announced his intention to run for president again in 2020, reports Reuters.
What he said: Trump said he "fully intends" to run for re-election and that it seemed like "everyone wants me to." As far as his competition, Trump said he doesn't see a Democrat who can beat him in the election during the interview. "I know them all. I don't see anybody."
Highlights: Trump, in a breach of royal protocol, talked about his visit with Queen Elizabeth, as well as his upcoming summit and relationship with Russian President Vladmir Putin.
Trump said he and the queen chatted about Brexit and she called it a "very complex problem" that everyone initially thought would be simple. "I think nobody had any idea how complex that was going to be."
Trump said the queen is an "incredible woman" and described her as "sharp" and "beautiful — inside and out."
It's too early to say whether Trump is "friends" or "enemies" with Putin, Trump said. He believes they could get along moving forward, but also noted "right now, I say we're competitors...that's a good thing, that's not a bad thing."

A Tuilériák kertje egy tavaszi reggelen című képét Camille Pissarro, francia impresszionista festő 1899-ben festette.

Pissarro a 19. század kilencvenes éveiben egyre inkább Párizs felé fordult művészetével. A város jellegzetes részeit igyekezett különböző év- és napszakokban is megfesteni, és ennek során jó lehetősége nyílt alkalmazni a fények, hangulatok megörökítésére kialakított nagyszerű technikáit.

Képeivel ebben az időben már számos sikert aratott, így volt lehetősége arra, hogy a jó párizsi látképek érdekében megfelelő kilátással rendelkező szállodába vagy bérlakásba költözzön.

1899 első felében egy nagy lakást bérelt Párizsban, a Rue de Rivoli 204. szám alatt, ahonnan kitűnő kilátás nyílt a Tuilériák kertjére. Nyolc képet festett itt a parkról, amelyek közül haton a Szent Klotild templom tornyai emelik ki az égbolt tágasságát.

A Tuilériák kertjéről készült képei, amelyek közül az itt bemutatott három a New York-i Metropolitan múzeumban látható, mind más évszakban, más időjárási körülmények között ábrázolják a parkot és az ott közlekedő, sétáló, időző párizsiakat.

A képek sikere nyomán a művész a következő évben újra kibérelte ugyanezt a lakást és még további 14 képet festett az ablakából elé táruló kilátásról.

The supply chain profession is notoriously lacking in clear development options beyond what is needed to build foundation supply chain practices.
Conferences, seminars, talks, company-based and topic-based training abounds, but what about more strategic development that enables people to lead and manage more successfully across the whole supply chain?
Co-designed with an advisory group of the most senior supply chain leaders in New Zealand, this programme is unique in that it is designed to build leadership skills in the specific context of the supply chain profession. The programme is run over seven months in four modules of 2-3 days each. The value to the individual, their company and the supply chain profession is immense.
Imagine being with 10-20 other people who understand what you are talking about; who understand the issues you are facing; who know that supply chain practices create or destroy a company's profitability. Imagine being mentored by one of the most successful supply chain leaders in the country… Working with your peers in collaborative ways… Learning how the most outstanding supply chains in the world really work. Imagine mapping out your career with knowledge of what's possible and being supported to be the most effective supply chain leader you can be.
That is what we have set out to achieve in the Strategic Supply Chain Management programme. Facilitated by leading academics and researchers, with the input of leading business leaders and practitioners, this programme is for people who want to rise to the top of their profession. It will help you build the network of colleagues, experts, leaders and companies that will support and challenge you in your career. It will enlighten you about what the future looks like and where you could be in it.
