As part of this year's artist talk series, we invited a number of professionals from outside the art world to join artists in discussing the number of issues and themes within the presented projects. By inviting external professionals, we aim to investigate how can Photography and the Arts be interpreted into other disciplines and into our social lives. This series will see contemporary artistic practices activate conversations around relevant and current topics, such as technology, the environment, and our futures.

1pm Wed 14 July — Hans van der Meer, Niall Sargent, and Sinéad Moran
1pm Wednesday 14 July via Zoom
In this conversation between photographer Hans van der Meer, investigative journalist Niall Sargent, and farmer Sinéad Moran of Gleann Buí Farm, we reflect on the topic of cattle breeding, the sustainability of our farming industries, and the balance between food production and good stewardship. How will we, the consumer, shape the future of food production and what will be the role of animals in it?
The talk is presented in the context of van der Meer's project Time to Change, which looks at the changing and progressive world of the Dutch dairy cow and is presented in the festival's main exhibition Bite the Hand that Feeds You. Van der Meer is joined by investigative journalist Niall Sargent who brings the topic into the Irish context and will additionally talk about unsustainable farming practices and the systems that support them.
Hans van der Meer is a documentary photographer. Through photography, film and writing Van der Meer examines the world around him. He studied at the Technical School for Photography in The Hague and the Rijksacademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. With an eye for coincidence, body language and absurdity he photographed everyday life on the streets of Budapest (Hungary) in the mid-80s. His observations were published in Quirk of Fate (1987) and won a World Press Award in the Daily Life category. The projects Dutch Fields (1998) and European Fields (2006), about football in its original form, brought him international acclaim in the art world and beyond. In 2004 he published Achterland (Hinterland), dealing with spatial planning in The Netherlands. In 2012 followed by The Netherlands – Off the shelf, in which he brings together his own photography and his fascination for vernacular photography by including catalogue images of street furniture. In 2018 Time to Change – The Changing World of the Dutch Cow was published, in which he is looking at, and thinking about, cows and consequently dairy farming, animal welfare, hi-tech food production, and its impact on the environment. His photographs and writings were published in leading Dutch newspapers de Volkskrant and NRC. His work is shown in museums and galleries around the globe.
Niall Sargent is a multimedia investigative journalist for Noteworthy, a platform by Journal Media, publishers of Ireland's leading online news source TheJournal.ie.

2pm Sun 18 July — Dorothy Cashman
At the Present Time: Gender, class, politics, and the cookbook in Ireland
2pm Sunday 18 July via Zoom
The 'present time' is referenced in A Simple Guide to Wholesome Diet, published by the Department of Local Government and Public Health during World War II. There are a multiplicity of 'present times' and a good place to observe them is through the medium of the recipe and its collected form, the cookbook. Irish cookbooks have been shaped in the first instance by the hegemonic influence of our nearest neighbour, and also, arguably, by the gendered ideologies of the Irish state post-independence. Taking the 'present time' of the Emergency as the starting point, this talk looks back to the origins of the cookbook in Ireland and forward to some of the most recent publications to see how they have been shaped by the times that they were written in.
Dorothy Cashman is a culinary historian and independent researcher. Following her undergraduate degree at University College Dublin she worked for Aer Lingus for thirty years and was awarded her doctorate in 2016 for her research on Irish culinary manuscripts. One of the founding members of the Dublin Gastronomy Symposium, her research interests include the history of the recipe in Ireland, in both printed and manuscript forms, and the configuration of national identity as it intersects with Irish food history. She has presented in Ireland and at international symposia and her research has been published in academic journals and edited collections.
1pm Wed 21 July — Mathieu Asselin and Sergio Valenzuela Escobedo
Curator Sergio Valenzuela Escobedo and artist Mathieu Asselin talk about the labour and power of collaborative work, reflecting on the project Monsanto: A Photographic Investigation.
Monsanto is presented as part of the PhotoIreland Festival 2021 at The Library Project.
Mathieu Asselin (FR/VEN) works and lives between Arles in France and New York City. He began his career working on film productions in Caracas, Venezuela, but shaped his photography practice in the United States. His work mainly consists out of longterm investigative documentary projects, such as his latest book 'Monsanto: A Photographic Investigation', which received international acclaim, winning the Kassel FotoBook Festival Dummy Award in 2016, the Aperture Foundation First Book Award in 2017 and has been shortlisted for the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize in 2018. Les Rencontre d'Arles in France, Photographer's Gallery in London, Fotomuseum Antwerp in Belgium and the European Parliament in Strasbourg are amongst recent venues where his work has been exhibited.
Sergio Valenzuela Escobedo is an independent artist and curator, currently completing his PhD at the National Photography School in Arles, France (ENSP). After one year in the National School of the Arts in Johannesburg, he graduated in photography in Chile and completed his Masters of Fine Arts at the Villa Arson France in 2014. Since 2005, he has been curating art exhibitions in Chile and Europe, including Mapuche at the Musée de l'Homme in Paris and Monsanto: a Photographic Investigation at the Rencontres d'Arles. The latter has been on tour for four years under his permanent supervision. Valenzuela Escobedo is a guest tutor at international art schools and institutions, most recently at IESA, Parsons Paris, ISSP Latvia and Atelier NOUA in Norway. He is co-founder of Double Dummy studio, a platform that creates a space for producing and showcasing critical reflections on documentary photography.

2pm Sun 25 July — Reading Group: Ksenia Yurkova and Corina Apostol
Food as Structural Unit of Politics, Transmitter Of Memory, and Matter of Art
2pm (Irish time) Sunday 25 July via Zoom
Attendees are invited to read the monograph before the event, which will be sent upon booking.
This work examines a biopolitical approach to issues of food, specifically hunger and overconsumption. It is studied throughout traumatic periods of history, intertwined with a contemporary ideological understanding of lifestyle, fashion, and wellbeing. The notion of food is understood not only in its material physical and nutritional dimension, but also in its strong symbolic meaning actualised in visual representation, rituals, texts, and memory. The performative aspect of ingestion gives a subject for thought about the role of affects as an alternative expressive channel with a capacity to reach deeper layers of veiled desires and intentions.
The Reading Group will be led by Corina L. Apostol together with artist Ksenia Yurkova, talking through the themes within the monograph. This session is focused on discussion and interactivity with the audience, so attendants are welcome to engage and encouraged to read the monograph beforehand.
Yurkova's project Spinebone Soup and Stuffed Rabbit is presented in the festival's main group exhibition Bite the Hand That Feeds You at Rathfarnham Castle until the 2nd August.
Corina L. Apostol is a curator at the Tallinn Art Hall and the curator of the Estonian Pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale. She is a curator and member of the steering committee of "Beyond Matter," an international, collaborative, practice-based research project that takes culture to the verge of virtual reality. Recently, she curated the second edition of the Shelter Festival: "Cosmopolitics, Comradeship, and the Commons," at the Space for Free Arts/ University of the Arts Helsinki, Finland (2019). Previously, she was the Andrew W. Mellon Fellow at Creative Time, where she co-edited Making Another World Possible: 10 Creative Time Summits, 10 Global Issues, 100 Art Projects (Routledge, 2019). At Creative Time, she co-curated the 12th Creative Time Summit: "On Archipelagoes and Other Imaginaries," (2018) a convening for thinkers, dreamers, and doers working at the intersection of art and politics across Miami. Corina obtained her Ph.D. at Rutgers University, where she was also the Dodge Curatorial Fellow at the Zimmerli Art Museum (2010-2016). She is the co-founder of the activist art and publishing collective ArtLeaks, and editor-in-chief of the ArtLeaks Gazette. She has been longlisted for the Kandinsky Prize (2016) and the Sergey Kuryokhin Prize (2020).
Ksenia Yurkova is an artist, curator and researcher, living between Russia and Austria. She considers her leading artistic media to be text, photography, video and installation. Yurkova started her practice as a researcher in the field of political theory and communication theory. The main focus of her interest for a long time was communication and language: the varieties of its substance, the possibility of conversion, its mythological aspect, stereotyping (the question of personal and political self-identification and identification by others), problems of memory, attitudes, and reliance. Lately, the artist is researching the phenomenon of affect in its autonomous bodily emanation; in its personal and political registers. She focuses upon how a stage of individual perception, to which one can relate memory, traumatic recollection and problems of identity construction, transforms itself into affects of the political body. Coming a long way from political and cultural journalism, through organising and curating cultural and art events, Ksenia settled in individual artistic and research practice, which allows the useful critical distance for observation and working with contemporary issues. Her approach is based on methods of language appropriation, over-affirmation, self-reflection and self-criticism through ironic components inevitably added to the most pressing matters. Nonetheless, Ksenia didn't give up socially engaged practice and launched a festival-laboratory Suoja/ Shelter in Helsinki, which already the 3rd year touches upon sensitive problems of society. Ksenia Yurkova has taken part in numerous shows and festivals worldwide, has released several artist books. Her works are in private collections in Russia, Germany, France, Finland, and Austria.
1pm Wed 28 July — Sheng-Wen Lo and Maria Delaney
1pm (Irish time) Wednesday 28 July via Zoom
Join investigative journalist Maria Delaney who interviews artist Sheng-Wen Lo on his socially engaged practice, his scientific approach through his projects TUNA and F/EEL, while also addressing the urgent issue of overfishing and transparencies in the sector.
Maria Delaney (T: @mhdelaney) is an investigative journalist for Noteworthy, a platform by Journal Media, publishers of Ireland's leading online news source TheJournal.ie. Recently, she spent a number of months investigating the fishing industry in Ireland as part of Noteworthy's NET LOSS project which examined overfishing, fishery controls and transparency in the sector.
Sheng-Wen Lo is a Dutch-based Taiwanese artist interested in relationships between non-humans and societies. These relationships fascinated the artist since childhood: Why do people love and pet certain animals? Why do people eat certain species but not others? Why are some people scared of little bugs? Lo believes these relationships reflect people's values, attitudes and collective memories toward their surroundings.
Daily experiences are his starting points. As mass production seems to ease life, there is a tendency for us to presuppose, to take things for granted. For defying this tendency, Lo thinks we should be raising questions instead of blindly following social frameworks. Instead of reaching conclusions or consensus; he believes in discussions and dissensus. The intention, hence, is to spark debates while constructing experiences, which encourage audiences to doubt, formulate questions, and challenge the status quo.

Taking a swipe at the Billionaire class in Davos
January 13, 2016 admin Current Affairs 1
Taking a swipe at the Billionaire class in Davos:
by Donovan Reynolds, Independent Writer.
A yearly event for the Business, Government, Academia and International organizations is held at the World Economic Forum high in the showy Swiss resort of Davos-Klosters. These organisations aim to shape the global, regional and industry agendas and address pressing global challenges. This year's theme is 'Mastering the Fourth Industrial Revolution'. However, the meeting has been overshadowed by fears of China's trending down of growth and plummeting oil prices on the world market. China's Vice President, Li Yuanchao, countered by remarking that China would address the recent slowdown in its economy. With the global financial market in a cautious mood it is expected that about ten central bank Governors will descend on the upmarket ski resort. It is hoped that the forum will provide them with a platform to lay out their ideas on requirements to help the global economy this year.
France's Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, started off the European session by remarking that security and terrorism are one of the biggest challenges currently facing the European region. He called for a pooling of resources and also sharing more information, including a common programme of oversight of flights and airports. Wolfgang Schauble, Germany's finance Minister, called for a new Marshall Plan to tackle Europe's refugee crisis, saying billions must be spent. Meanwhile, his boss Chancellor Angela Merkel, remains below the radar, smarting from a refugee sex scandal backlash from opposition parties at home in Germany. US Treasury Secretary, Jack Lew, has hinted in the opening session that markets have over-reacted to the oil price slump and China's slowdown. While the contribution from HSBC boss warned that it is hard to raise money for green energy right now. Alexis Tsipras, Greece's current Prime Minister, appeared sombre in his presentation he called for a new co-ordinated growth strategy and for Europe to diminish the inequalities between North and South.
High on the agenda at Davos will be the future of the European Union and the Schengen Agreement. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has told Davos that Europe business and community leaders should campaign in the upcoming referendum for Britain to remain in the European Union; recent polls show that 52% Britons opting for leaving the EU has placed the future of the union in doubt. With a UK referendum expected this year on its political relationship with Europe, whether to remain in or opt out Europe, nerves can hardly be calmed. However, David Cameron is wooing the doubters in Davos by insisting that he is 'confident' the UK will remain in a reformed European Union if he achieves the deal he is seeking for a new relationship with Brussels.
It is expected that some of the world's influential charities such as Oxfam as well as the Bill and Melinda Gates Trust will be there; they will rub shoulders with Hollywood heart-throbs, Political powerhouses and the growing billionaire class. This year the guest list is a little less white than the Oscars; the impressive guests include Rachel Whetstone, Justin Trudeau, Will.i.am, Sheryl Sandberg and Leonardo DiCaprio. Yet, missing from the Davos list are the pied political pipers of the squeezed middle such as Bernie Saunders, Jeremy Corbyn and Russel Brand who will not get a foot in to embarrass the money grabbing capitalist billionaire class present at Davos.
As to the volunteers of Kingston- Mouth, we will be watching the drama unfold on our couches from afar, on television and social media, clutching our Poundland crisps and drinking organic carrot juice. However, our lower middle class voices will not be silenced. Statistics from Oxfam bear testament to the fact that the squeezed middle class numbers and quality of life are evaporating rapidly from the planet.
Since the last economic crisis, the billionaire class has ridiculed the poor, so it's time to return the favour to the Davos cavorting class.According the Oxfam Charity that examines global poverty, this year the richest 1% in the word will own more than all of us. Yes I, will repeat: the cumulative wealth of us the 99 % will not match the wealth of a handful of mostly tax evading billionaires. Subsequently, the middle class among us are dwindling rapidly. Luckily, Winnie Bynyiami, Oxfam's CEO, will have a voice at the table at Davos. Although it is likely that her voice will be drowned out by the greedy billionaire class worried about her dwindling oil stocks and shares on the Capital market.
Wealthy moneybags such as George Soros, Warren Buffett and the Kotch Brothers won't choke on their glasses of champagne when Oxfam breaks the news to them that 62% persons like themselves wealth is equal to half of the world's population wealth. They will be engrossed in scientific lectures about how robotics can lower the cost of labour and increase their already incredulous bottom-line. I hope that whenever the first sets of robotics are delivered they resemble Bill Gates, Will I Am, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. While I am at it, might I take a swipe at British Billionaire Richard Branson who is busy in the American desert blowing up Space crafts in the American desert? He is fixated on landing millionaires on space stations in the stratosphere while the poor are starving in UN refugee camps as a result of terrorism, civil wars, drought and famines. Neither is he interested in the fact that most of the world's poor are living on an income less that US 1.25, down from $2 a day before the last economic recession. His focus is solely to grow the Virgin Empire. The trump change that is left on his aircrafts goes to charity and he is very noisy about it.
The Russian property grabbing billionaire class, such as Roman Abramovich and Yuri Milner, have an open yearly invite to sit cosily at the table at Davos and they might have one eye on the table and another on the lucrative property market in London. A word of advice to them, if they are bothered to make it to Davos, stick to property acquisition and refrain from criticising President Putin openly. They really don't want to get on his wrong side or they might end up sipping a glass of expensive vodka laced with plutonium by the KGB. We strongly advise that you confine your criticisms to your expensive yachts moored on the Chelsea Harbour or the French Riviera. As you swan around Europe laundering billions, remember those Russians living on less than 9,662 roubles ($169) a month. Please also remember that the number of Russians living on the official poverty line surged to nearly 23 million at the end of March 2015.
The Qatari Royal Family and the House of Saud are also in for it. Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani of Qatar and H.M King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia have a combined wealth of 80 billion dollars. Their idea of a good charity is to spread Wahhabism (radical Islamic ideology) across the world. While they are buying expensive F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets at a cost of $94 million each from the US, these oil rich Middle East Royal families invest in high end sky scrapers in Europe, forcing up the price of real estate in London making it almost impossible for the Middle class to own a home . Turning up at Davos is beneath them as it's too cold and definitely too high up in the hills of Switzerland to moor their luxurious yachts. Their version of human rights is to publically behead its citizens who oppose their exclusive rule by dictatorship and prevent women from driving in public. Despite this, they are the darlings of Europe and the US, the two main pillars of Capitalism and democracy in the word. They defiantly don't have to turn up in Davos as they have the entire EU and US envoy doing the bidding on their behalf. Even with oil plummeting to an all-time low of $32.26 dollars a barrel, they are so rich that they won't break into a sweat no matter how hot the desert gets.
You might be wondering why Kingston-Mouth has stooped so low to berate the Billionaire classes who turn up at the Word Economic Forum in Davos. These forums do not improve the lives of the poor and squeezed middle class from Beijing to Bangladesh. We see the gap between the rich and the poor getting wider; there is no trickle-down effect. We emphatically do not believe that there is a tremendous passion to end poverty when billionaires and world leaders meet;based on the legacy of deception that Adam Smith has left us. We do not expect the likes of Christine Lagarde, President of the IMF who receives a tax free salary of US $467,940 to close the gap between rich and the poor; the best she can achieve during her tenure is a face lift and an expensive hair extension. If we had a choice between wiping out poverty or wiping out billionaires which one do you think we would choose?

From 9-13 October I visited Hoedspruit to advise a BBC team on weaver behaviour for a new wildlife series. They chose a Lesser Masked Weaver colony that was active, although the rains had not really started yet. There was also opportunity to look at many weaver colonies to update their PHOWN records. Alex Zaloumis is monitoring lots of weaver colonies around Hoedspruit and is one of the most active PHOWNers. Limited ringing yielded Red-headed and Lesser Masked Weavers, but we did not succeed in catching Red-billed Buffalo-Weavers. We also held a ringing demonstration for pupils of the Southern Cross School at Raptors View.
Thanks to everyone that helped! The BBC funded my trip and Alex hosted me at Tim Otto's farm. Rael and Helene Loon, ringer and author of "Birds - the inside story" provided a fantastic braai at Raptors View Wildlife Estate. Thanks to all who let us study weavers: David and Robbyn Sussens at Tshukudu bush camp, Dave Rushworth at Trackers farm and Tony at Monsoon Gallery.

Steelers 2015 Draft Class Review – S Gerod Holliman
There are not a lot of meaningful conclusions that you can reach about a player after the end of his first season, but that certainly doesn't stop people from talking about it. You can find just about any variety of analysis that you would care to read if you just look for it, complete with bold letter grades.
I'm not going to do that. But I am going to talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers's 2015 NFL Draft class, both collectively, in this article, as was as individually, in succeeding articles.
While the tides have slowly turned in Pittsburgh regarding rookie players being held back in terms of playing time in recent years, the 2015 class outside of their first-round pick did not get a lot of burn during the year, but that shouldn't be terribly surprising in hindsight.
The Steelers entered the draft process this year with eight draft picks, including the seven natural draft picks in each round, in addition to a compensatory draft pick in the sixth round, in addition to some notable undrafted free agent acquisitions.
Player: Gerod Holliman
Draft Status: 7th round (239nd overall)
Snaps: 0
This may be the last article ever written about Gerod Holliman, the Steelers' seventh-round draft pick of the 2015 NFL draft—the only draft pick who failed to make the initial 53-man roster, and the only draft pick who does not remain with the team to this day. All of the other seven draft picks ended the season on the 53-man roster.
In spite of the fact that he won college accolades, even awards, for tying an NCAA record in recording an eye-popping 14 interceptions during his final collegiate season, the tape study revealed a much uglier body of work than the numbers would lead one to believe.
Before the analysts really got a good whiff of his film, there were even early, early first-round projections for Holliman, which quickly changed to mid-round, then to late-round or priority free agent by the time the draft actually rolled around.
The Steelers, in a bind as far as turnovers go over the last several seasons, tweaked their draft focus a bit by taking defensive backs who showed as the collegiate level that they could intercept the ball. Their fourth-round cornerback had five interceptions in 2014. Their second-rounder had 10.
Holliman nearly equaled their totals combined on his own, and the front office thought that that potential was worth taking a flier on to see if the rest of his skills could be developed, given that he was not a very experienced player.
His major deficiency, of course, was his woeful tackling—could you imagine him in the starting lineup for the Steelers last year with their tackling issues?—and that didn't go away at all over the course of training camp and the preseason, who it should be no surprise that he didn't make the roster, or even the practice squad.
Holliman was added to the Buccaneers' practice squad at the tail end of the season and signed to a futures contract after the final regular season game, so he at least has a second chance in the league.

Q: The way to compute off-diagonal terms of a square matrix I have a matrix X and use it to compute the square matrix in MATLAB: S=X*X'. I need to find only off-diagonal elements of S.
I understand how to do this for the diagonal: sum(X.*X,1). Is there the similar way to find off-diagonal elements by vectorization?

A: To get the elements of the d-th off-diagonal this should work:
sum(X(:,1:end-d).*X(:,1+d:end),1)

This is because for R=X*X', the d-th off-diagonal has these elements:
R(k,k+d) = sum (X(k,:) .* X(k+d,:))

I was blogging and EC dropping while watching tv when I heard Mel Tiangco ended her news program with a countdown to Christmas. I didn't realize until after I heard from her that it's actually only 85 days more to go before Christmas. Well, there's still a little over two months from now but part of our culture is to kinda feel the spirit of Christmas by playing Christmas songs in the shopping malls and doing countdowns in tv shows as early as the month of September. Oh boy, how I miss Pinas especially during this season!

Sisterhood Forever
Lush, exclusive Spyder Island is home to many of the world's billionaires. Years ago, Gretchen Spyder, daughter of the island's namesake, gave her twin babies up for legal adoption. Now Gretchen and her father are trying to get them back. The twins' adoptive parents are a loving but poor couple, completely outgunned by the Spyders' wealth. Their only hope lies with Myra Rutledge and her formidable Sisterhood, who are as ready as ever to fight the good fight. But nestled among the lavish mansions and immaculate landscaping of Spyder Island is a sinister enemy. And in a case that's far more twisted than it first appeared, the ingenuity, courage, and friendship of the Sisterhood will be tested as never before.

The story picks up eight years after the events of Lair of Bones and begins a new chapter in the Runelords saga focusing on Gaborn's son, Fallion. Gaborn, the Earth King, has been traveling far from his home, to strange and unknown places. While beyond the edge of the earth, he finally succumbs to the accelerated aging that comes from all of the endowments he has taken. His death is the signal for a revolution, an attack from the supernatural realms by immensely powerful immortal beings.
These forces have discovered that Gaborn's son is the resurrection of an immortal, one whose potential power is so great that he might be able to reorder the entire universe. Fallion's enemies have decided that they must control him, and failing that, destroy him. He is only a child, but he is the heir to Gaborn's kingdom, and so must flee to the ends of the earth to avoid the destruction of all that Gaborn accomplished.

3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model. 3D printing is achieved using an additive process, where successive layers of material are laid down in different shapes. 3D printing is thus distinct from traditional machining techniques, which rely on the removal of material by methods such as cutting or drilling (subtractive processes).

An unvaccinated doctor is reportedly lying to her bosses about having had the vaccine
Posted on August 23, 2021 by lawofmarkets
What should one make of this: 'No need to rush': Senator warns of FDA's shortcuts to full approval of COVID-19 vaccine.
Sen. Ron Johnson called out the Biden administration's health agencies Sunday for shortcutting the usual safety reviews in a rush to give final approval to COVID-19 vaccines, including failing to account for thousands of deaths and adverse reactions among people worldwide who got the shots….
He said the fast-track decision appeared more political than scientific since it skipped the usual formal advisory committee meeting and did not fully account for the reports of deaths and disabilities suffered by people after being vaccinated.
There is then this which I find of more than just slightly interesting. From HOSPITALS IN DARK OVER JABS in the Herald-Sun.
An unvaccinated doctor at a major Melbourne hospital is reportedly lying to her bosses about having had the vaccine.
Her mother revealed the deceit in a Reignite Democracy Australia group chat, saying: "She's now telling people she's had it; she's using this as a strategy to get people off her back."
Aside from this doctor having such a repulsive mother, the real question is why she doesn't wish to be vaxxinated. That would be a much more interesting story even if it might be contrary to the political narrative of the moment. And interestingly, the full story is that hospitals cannot find out which members of staff have been vaxxinated. I wonder what their un-vaxxinated staff members know that we don't know but perhaps should know.
Let me also add this: Hundreds of doctors sign open letter to PM: Need debate on 'flawed covid guesses'. It comes with this at the end, which suggests there may be others who have the same view but are keeping quiet.
The signatories, from a broad range of specialities, came forward despite the risk of doing so to both their jobs and reputations.
And this is what the view was of those who did speak up.
A hundred and thirty three doctors, nurses, psychiatrists paramedics and midwives signed the letter released today which states that despite a "complete lack of widespread approval among health professionals," of the pandemic policies, "no attempt" has been made to measure the harms of lockdown policies. The letter, also addressed to the Health Secretary and First Ministers for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland states: "You have failed to engage in dialogue and show no signs of doing so. You have removed from people fundamental rights and altered the fabric of society with little debate in Parliament.
And this, which is just another example of how ridiculous Australia is increasingly seen by the rest of the world: The Taliban are beating fewer people in Afghanistan than police in Australia. Comes with this picture.

For 12 years I have studied, intensely, just how captured the financial industry has become by the big banks.
After just a brief study into Covid-19 and vaccines, it has been easy for me to discern the health industry has been captured by big pharma.
There is a large correlation.
We have TOO BIG TO FAIL banks, and we have TOO BIG TO QUESTION big pharma.


The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was a movement for ALS patients, their families and their supporters and it was a phenomenal success.
The challenge started in the summer of 2014 and went on to become the world's largest global social media phenomenon, according to the ALS Association, as more than 17 million people uploaded their challenge videos to Facebook; these videos were watched by 440 million people in all.
The Ice Bucket Challenge—which dared folks to dump a bucket of ice water over their heads, post a video of it on Facebook, tag friends to do the same and donate money to ALS—is now an annual event to raise awareness and funds to find treatments and a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
And, it is the ultimate case study in virility. As people posted their videos, first, close family and friends were challenged. Then it spread to adjacent communities, new cities, and new countries.
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge existed in the sporting world and had been used with other causes in the past, according to the ALS Association. It started with a professional golfer named Chris Kennedy, who challenged his sister, Jeanette Senerchia in Pelham, NY (Jeanette's husband Anthony has ALS), according to the Association.
Through Facebook, one of Jeanette's friends was connected to Pat Quinn in Yonkers, NY, who was connected to Pete Frates in Boston, according to the ALS Association; Pat and Pete are both young men battling the disease and their social networks blasted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge out of the Northeast to places across the country and even the globe. In all, 159 countries participated in the 2014 Ice Bucket Challenge.

GameStop to launch "Guaranteed to love it" program – Allows users to return games 48 hours after game's launch
GameStop has certainly seen better times, but after recently failing to sell itself it seems like the company has another Hail Mary up its sleeve.
The new "Guaranteed to love it" program will allow customers to return games 48 hours after their initial launch in return for $59.99 of in-store credit.
This new policy will be an extremely welcome one as many have spent years complaining about GameStop's previously extremely anti-consumer return policy.
The first game attached to the policy will be the upcoming PS4 exclusive Days Gone. While having your game attached to a "if you hate it, bring it back" policy isn't what you'd want.
If all goes to plan, this new policy could encourage a lot of sales as many could finally feel like buying from GameStop isn't gambling $60 as the company now has a fair return policy.
What is still to be seen though is if this policy will apply to all games. Days Gone is the only game mentioned thus-far, and many online have expressed their concerns about the policy's game limitations.
If this policy only applies to hand-picked games, then this policy could be another huge failure on GameStop's part. If it applies to all new games, then there's a change GameStop could finally be turning things around for the better.
We'll keep you update as more details emerge.

An upcoming Los Altos Community Coalition-sponsored panel on community benefit programs will feature officials from Redwood City discussing how they collaborate with large developers to ensure that new buildings become part of the fabric of the city.
The panel, scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on March 17 at the Los Altos Library, is part of a series that invites local residents and guests to share how they confront the challenges facing their cities.
For Shali Sirkay, LACC co-chairwoman, the purpose is fairly straightforward. Many of the issues Los Altos faces – building heights, school sites and parking – have been problems for a long time. LACC members hope to break the deadlock by bringing new voices to the table.
"What we're trying to do is have meetings around specific groups, and have speakers that can speak to these issues," she said.
LACC hosted a previous discussion on operating small businesses in downtown Los Altos. A future panel will focus on schools and health. These are new issues for Sirkay, even though her family moved to Los Altos a decade ago.
Sirkay also serves as executive vice president of the Los Altos Mountain View PTA Council and leans on her professional skills to build a community around issues, rather than one divided by them. With a background in public health, she reviews best practices to apply them to a diverse crowd.
Sirkay emphasized that LACC meetings are not about employing politics, but rather getting people on the same page.
Unlike online forums such as Facebook or Nextdoor, LACC is designed to burst through the filter bubble.
"If your only source of information is what you read online, you may have a very different point of view than what actually exists," Sirkay said.
Tamara Fagin, the outgoing co-chairwoman of LACC (David Rock holds the other co-chair seat), pointed to different age and geographic segments of town that they are trying to bring together.
"We're trying to do a panel of teens, a panel of seniors and a panel of people who live in south Los Altos to understand how downtown is important for everybody," Fagin said.
"LACC has consciously kept its meetings open to organizations in the community," he said.
Sirkay agreed, adding that the point is not to define segments of Los Altos demographics as different, but to see where they overlap.
Rock said Sirkay's experience enables her to further this educational goal by drawing people who aren't usually involved in local politics into the dialogue.
The end goal is to squelch the binary debates and open a larger conversation.


The overall winner will receive a $1,000 scholarship to attend Bethel College (see terms at the bottom of the page) and a copy of The Crossings print magazine where his/her piece will be published.
1st, 2nd, and 3rd runners-up will each receive a copy of The Crossings print magazine where their pieces will be published.
All winners and honorable mentions will have their pieces published online at thecrossingsjournal.org.
The deadline for this contest is November 1, 2018, at 11:59 PM. No late submissions will be accepted.
All short fiction, non-fiction, and drama pieces should be between 500 and 1200 words. Poetry submissions should be no more than 30 lines. All submissions should be typed in a standard font. Email submissions to crossings@bethelcollege.edu with the subject line "High School Writing Contest." Please include your name, grade, school, email address and phone number as well as the title of the piece and its genre in the body of your email. Submissions should be attached as a .doc or .docx file. All identifying information apart from the title should be left out of the attached file.
Here at The Crossings, our team of editors work hard to ensure that each piece we post takes seriously the call to explore the human experience. Because of this goal, some posts may contain content, including language, violence, drug use, and other material that sensitive readers might find objectionable or difficult to read. We don't include this material for the sake of vulgarity or "shock value." Instead, we believe that it is vital for honest faith to confront difficult realities, and honest art must portray characters and situations in realistic ways. To do any less would be a disservice to the art and to the God who meets people in the midst of even the darkest situations.
Pieces that contain unnecessary, gratuitous, explicit content will not be published in The Crossings—such content is often used simply as a means for entertainment or shock value and does not lead the reader to a greater understanding of God, or a more illuminating view of the human experience. The editors reserve the right to make that determination for each piece that is submitted. We appreciate your understanding in our endeavor to glorify God by bearing his image through the honest creation of art.
Students submitting work to this contest may be added to the mailing list for Bethel College Admissions Office.
This scholarship is based on full-time attendance at Bethel College. It can be applied to tuition costs only. This scholarship is not renewable or transferable.


Sorry, I'm a little late on my Dolce Vita post this week. Life has been pretty hectic the last little while. I had my last day at work this past Friday. I always thought that day would feel amazing. I thought I would walk out of that building, never wanting to look back....but I was so wrong. If you think about it, I spent the last six years going into work 5 days a week, 8 hours a day...which is normal for many people. That's more time you spend with your own family! I developed so many relationships with co-workers that they pretty much became my "family". Without them, every day at work would have been dull and a struggle to get through. I guess I could only realize all of this as it came to an end. I truly am thankful for all the wonderful friendships that I have accumulated over the years.
Thanks for the last 6 years guys!
On top of that, the weekend before last, 25 of my fabulous friends threw me the most amazing surprise party. It was amazing because I really had absolutely NO clue. In fact, I almost stayed at home that evening. I was extremely exhausted from cleaning out my whole garage to make room for my car while I'm gone. My sister had to practically dress me to get me to go out and have dinner. So when I got to the restaurant, and opened the door to be greeted by the loudest "SURPRIIIISEEE!" ever, I was completely stunned. I have never felt so special and loved in my whole life! It was definitely an emotional moment for me.
thanks for the surprise cupcakes sis!
So to all my friends & family, remember that you are irreplaceable. No matter how many new people I meet in Italy, the memories we have made and the laughs we've shared will always be with me. Whether I'm in Italy or any other place in this world, I will always appreciate the relationships that make my dolce vita!
So special! I'm glad the days before your move have been wonderful and memorable for you. You'll definitely look back and treasure those memories throughout your new journey. Best of wishes to you as you begin your new life.
I am so excited for you!!! I know exactly the roller coaster of emotions you are going through! Those cupcakes look delicious, and I LOVE the designs! See you soon in Firenze Theresa!!


50 of the greatest stars!
Not as good as AFI's 100 Years, 100 Movies, but this documentary still has some interesting features. However, I disagree with many of the choices made. I don't believe that Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Vivien Leigh, Claudette Colbert, Grace Kelly, and Ginger Rogers should have made the list. These are all great actors, but to me there are far superior actors such as Paul Robeson, Deborah Kerr, Gloria Swanson, Gloria Grahame, Sydney Greenstreet, Myrna Loy, William Powell, Jean Arthur, Mary Astor, the three Barrymore siblings (John, Lionel, Ethel), Walter Huston, Richard Burton, Montgomery Clift, Bing Crosby, Rosalind Russell, Olivia de Havilland, W.C. Fields, Bob Hope, Boris Karloff, Charles Laughton, Harold Llyod, Peter Lorre, Joel McCrea, Fredric March, Vincent Price, Anthony Quinn, Claude Rains, Thelma Ritter, Mickey Rooney, Jane Russell, Peter Sellers, Norma Shearer, Frank Sinatra, Lana Turner and Natalie Wood. The bottom line, is that AFI should have picked the top 50 actors and top 50 actresses instead of 25. This way, many more legendary actors would have been included.

Purdue Football 2020: Position Previews – Offensive Line
October 15, 2020 Corey Ross
This season may very well be the deepest and most talented offensive line room Purdue has had since Jeff Brohm arrived. With the arrival of new offensive analyst Neil Calloway, the offensive line is looking to make a massive jump from a liability in 2019 to a group that can be counted on consistently in 2020. While it maybe unclear who exactly the starting five linemen will be October 24th, there are about 9-10 guys that have shown that they can play Big Ten football. The cream rises to the top and that will be the same case for this offensive line room in 2020.
Grant Hermanns – Starter
Fifth Year – 6'7" 305 lbs.

While we don't know who the five starting offensive linemen will be in 2020, we certainly do know who one of the starters will be and that is Grant Hermanns at left tackle. Hermanns is by and far the most experienced and oldest member of the offensive line room and he will certainly be leaned on as such. Hermanns is all around a really good left tackle both in the pass and run games. If you go back and watch the game winning reverse to David Bell against Nebraska, the seal block from Hermanns on the defensive linemen on the edge was absolutely perfection. I will be curious to see who the elite pass rushers are in the Big Ten this year and will be eager to see how Hermanns is able to handle and negate them. If Hermanns has a good year this season I think he has a shot to be drafted in 2020.
Will Bramel – Potential Starter
Sophomore – 6'6" 300 lbs

Will Bramel is one of those offensive linemen for Purdue that I think is "nearly there" in terms of going from an adequate linemen to a really good one. Bramel took a majority of the snaps at right tackle in 2020 and for good reason. I think Bramel did a very good job for a freshman in pass protection and alright in the run game last year but saw some room for improvement. Specifically in the run game I would like to see Bramel get his pads lower, now this certainly isn't an easy task, but something that I think would go a long way for the young tackle. In pass protection I noticed a few times where he almost stopped moving his feet and got beat. If those two things improve for Bramel going into 2020, Purdue should have great production at both tackle spots. Reports are that Bramel has missed some time in the fall camp which isn't great but he should be ready to go for week one against Iowa.
Greg Long – Potential Starter
Junior – 6'4" 295 lbs
Greg Long is a grad transfer from UTEP that should have two years of eligibility left heading into 2020. Long is very athletic for his size and despite not being your typical sized tackle he should be getting a shot at the right tackle spot in 2020. Long has seen some playing time at his previous school, UTEP, but his career thus far has been marred by injuries. By my estimation Long has played around 17 games in his career with about 12 starts. Hopefully the Purdue athletic training staff has been able to identify any nagging issues and corrected them so he can be full tilt during the entire 2020 season. Long, Bramel and our next linemen will be battling it out to start at right tackle throughout the season.
Eric Miller – Contributor
Sophomore – 6'7" 300 lbs.
Eric Miller is yet another linemen who has seen some action, including two starts against Maryland and Iowa and nine additional games of participation in 2019. I think Miller has prototypical size but still really needs to work on his technique. From the highlights I have been able to watch Miller has issues with keeping his feet moving and leaning that really need to be addressed. The combination of those two are huge liabilities that a good defensive end can take advantage of. I think if we are comparing last year's tape Miller has further to go to catch up to Bramel in 2020, but it has been nearly 10 months since we lost saw Miller, a ton can change then.
Cam Craig – Potential Starter
RS Freshman – 6'5" 305 lbs
Cam Craig appeared in just one game last year against Indiana and was able to retain a redshirt, something that I think will prove to be very valuable down the line in a few years. In the game Craig showed off that he was a good run blocker and pretty solid in pass protection. There were a couple of plays where he was able to come off a double team to pick up a blitze, while it wasn't the best blitz pickups he was able to recognize it and get in front of the blitzer, a good sign for a freshman. Overall, I really like the motor and effort Craig showed against Indiana last year. If that transferred over to the weight room and practices in the off season Purdue very well may have their man for starting left guard.
Sam Garvin – Probable Starter
Sam Garvin watches as King Doerue muscles in for a touchdown against Maryland in 2019. (Dave Kovich)
Sam Garvin came to Purdue as a walk-on and a finance major, so he definitely has the mental acuity to play center for the Boilers and he got his chance last year in 2019. Garvin backed up Victor Beach who is no longer on the team in 2020 because of some back issues that prevented him from playing, so Garvin was the next man up playing in nine games and starting the final six games of the season. When you have to start a walk-on on the offensive line it can make many people uneasy and that was the case with Garvin initially, but the more and more he played the more and more reliable he became. By the end of the season if you told me Garvin was a walk-on I wouldn't have believed you. Garvin's smarts should go a long way since he plays center, which often is the play caller on the offensive line. We aren't sure if Garvin is still a walk-on or on scholarship this season but regardless of that status fans should be glad he is likely to be anchoring this offensive line.
Mark Stickford – Contributor
Mark Stickford is yet another linemen who has some significant playing experience returning in 2020. Stickford appeared in ten games, eight of which were starts in 2019. Overall I think Stickford has a solid season in 2019, I would consider both his run game and pass game blocking to be average and both can be worked on. I think the thing that sticks out the most is aggressiveness. You can almost tell when he is playing aggressive and when he is not, and as you might expect the aggressive demeanor is often much better, so we would like to see more of that in 2020. One other thing that stuck out was the blitz pickups, they definitely happened but often times a bit late so if he can improve that reaction time coming off doubles I think it would go a long way in 2020.
Kyle Jornigan – Potential Contributor
Kyle Jernigan is one of the few underclassmen being talked about as part of the offensive line rotation this year that hasn't had any in game experience. This may prove to be one of the issues that ultimately leads to minimal playing time this year for Jernigan, but you have to start somewhere. Reports out of camp are that the staff really likes Jornigan's size and strength and that he is one tough dude. Jernigan is high on the list of linemen I would like to see this season, even if it is just to get a gauge of where he is at. This will be one to watch and wouldn't be surprised to see him in some goal line situations this year at the very least.
DJ Washington – Potential Contributor
Junior – 6'4" 315 lbs.
DJ Washington is one of the biggest interior linemen on Purdue's squad and well over 300 lbs so he has that ready off the bus body Purdue hasn't had in a long time. The question with Washington is can he harness and utilize that body and is his technique up to par? While Washington spent mostly time in a reserve role in 2019 that shows maybe he wasn't back then but we are nearly 10 months removed from the last time we saw him perform and time is the best cure for technique issues. If Washington has been able to work hard in the off season, it would not be surprising to see him get some minutes or even start in 2020.
Spencer Holstege – Potential Contributor

Spencer Holstege has been a name kicked around this year and even was last year when Beach was injured and Purdue was relying on walk-on Sam Garvin. So Holstege has been in the conversation for getting playing time at center and that has also been the same case this year. Reportedly, Garvin had some minor injury issues early in the fall training camp and Holstege got some reps at Center. We expect Holstege to push for a starting spot at center over Garvin, but it is our opinion the center spot is Garvin's to lose at this point. Should there be any issues with Garvin, Holstege should be the guy waiting in the wings as the next man up.
Gus Hartwig – Contributor
Freshman – 6'5" 305 lbs.
Gus Hartwig is without a doubt the most talented, ready to play freshman Purdue has recruited on the offensive line in years and reports are that he is definitely the real deal. The true freshman from Zionsville was an Army All-American and had some great combine time prior to the bowl game. The importance of him performing well against the top defensive recruits in the country cannot be overstated. More so than any other position, offensive line recruiting is a bit of a crap shoot so when Hartwig performed very well against the best of his age, Purdue must've been absolutely elated. Hartwig was an early enrollee in the spring before the session was ultimately cut short after just 8 practices, but Hartwig has continued to impress the staff. O According to interviews, Hartwig is mentally sharp and has the ability to play at any position on the offensive line, which is pretty incredible for a true freshman. Hartwig has really good feet that he has said help him to overcome his lack of college level strength training. Overall reports have been promising and Hartwig is someone I think the staff will work to rotate in some this season depending how the game situations unfold.

Liam McKay, Director of Corporate Affairs at London City Airport said:
"The themes of our new Community Fund mirror many of the values which we champion as a business, in the heart of East London.
"We want the charity to have real longevity and are excited to receive applications from a diverse range of applicants. Through these grants, the airport will make a real difference to organisations that improve and enrich the communities on our doorstep."
To be eligible for funding applicants must meet the following criteria:
run a local charity or not-for-profit organisation which represents inclusive and diverse communities within East London
adhere to one of London City Airport's community themes: building stronger, safer and healthier communities, creating more sustainable and greener communities, raising aspirations of East Londoners or creating pathways into employment
be based in one of these boroughs: Barking & Dagenham, Bexley, Epping Forest District Council, Greenwich, Hackney, Havering, Newham, Lambeth, Lewisham, Redbridge, Southwark, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest.

Weird Highlights From 25 Years Of Ig Nobel Prizes [Interactive]
Honoring science's funniest research
By Katie Peek
In 1990, as editor of a science magazine, Marc Abrahams encountered plenty of important research. He also saw lots of science that was just plain hilarious—but those researchers remained obscure. "So," he says, "we began to celebrate them." He held the first Ig Nobel awards in September 1991. In the decades since, the ceremony has honored research that probes why woodpeckers don't get headaches, and whether humans swim faster in syrup or water (it's a wash). It's work that lives up to the Ig Nobel tagline: "Research that makes people laugh and then think."
Mouse over the dots to read our favorite Ig Nobels. The award language ("For…") is quoted from Improbable.com. Graphic by Katie Peek.

Physics, 1992
For circular contributions to field theory based on the geometrical destruction of English crops
For success in training pigeons to discriminate between the paintings of Picasso and those of Monet
For demonstrating that toast often falls on the buttered side
Meteorology, 1997
For the revealing report "Chicken Plucking as Measure of Tornado Wind Speed"
Safety Engineering, 1998
For developing and personally testing a suit of armor that is impervious to grizzly bears
Literature, 1999
For the six-page specification (British Standard 6008) of the proper way to make a cup of tea
Chemistry, 2000
For the discovery that, biochemically, romantic love may be indistinguishable from having severe obsessive-compulsive disorder
For the partial solution to the question of why shower curtains billow inward
Hygiene, 2002
For inventing a washing machine for cats and dogs
Engineering, 2004
For patenting the comb-over (U.S. Patent No. 4,022,227)
Acoustics, 2006
For conducting experiments to learn why people dislike the sound of fingernails scraping on a blackboard
Veterinary Medicine, 2009
For showing that cows who have names give more milk than cows that are nameless
Peace, 2010
For confirming the widely held belief that swearing relieves pain
For confirming, by experiment, that people who think they are drunk also think they are attractive
For measuring the amount of friction between a shoe and a banana skin, and between a banana skin and the floor, when a person steps on a banana skin that's on the floor
This year's Ig Nobels will take place on September 17. For the 20th year running, the ceremony will be webcast if you care to watch the silliness remotely. Awardees share their work onstage, interspersed with a new science-themed opera every year.
This article was originally published in the September 2015 issue of Popular Science, under the title "The Less-Noble Nobels."
Eight Awards In Detail, Plus Three Laureates
A Texas state senator earned an Ig Nobel for requiring permits to purchase laboratory glassware—one of many times the committee has used its position to spotlight people who hinder science. But just as often, scientists themselves are skewered: In 1993, the literature prize went to all 976 authors of a 10-page biology paper.Flickr user amylovesyah
Biology, 1999
A spiceless jalapeño might seem like an oxymoron, but a horticulturalist at the Chile Pepper Institute of New Mexico State University was recognized for developing one. The pepper—dubbed the NuMex Primavera—allows a chef to create a salsa that's mild but still tastes like jalapeños.Image from HortScience journal, October 1988
Andre Geim (Physics, 2000)
In 2000, Geim and a collaborator won an Ig Nobel for levitating a frog. (They were demonstrating that high-power electromagnets can lift objects that aren't inherently magnetic.) In 2010, Geim received a Nobel prize—sans "Ig"—in physics, for isolating graphene with simple adhesive tape.Image by Lijnis Nelemans, available on a CC BY-SA 3.0 license
Theodore Gray (Chemistry, 2002)
Popular Science's "Gray Matter" columnist earned a 2002 Ig Nobel for his periodic-table table, a coffee table holding samples of nearly all 118 elements. As a Swiss citizen, Gray is technically a two-time winner: The Swiss people hold a 2008 prize for "adopting the legal principle that plants have dignity."Courtesy Theodore Gray
Two teams won prizes for discovering that herring communicate underwater by emitting gas—that is to say, by farting—at a rate that creates an audible chirp. According to Marc Abrahams, the research diffused an international incident: The Swedish government had initially assumed the chirp was from Russian spy submarines.Image by Flickr user zemlinki
Mathematics, 2006
The honor went to a pair of researchers who calculated how many group pictures you must snap for everyone's eyes to be open in at least one. Their rule of thumb? For groups of 20 or fewer, divide the number of people by three, and take that many photos.Courtesy Library of Congress
Medicine, 2007
Winners often demonstrate their inventions and discoveries at the Ig Nobel ceremony, which is held on the Harvard campus each September. In 2007, an author of a study on the side effects of sword swallowing—sore throats were common—swallowed a sword on stage. No report on how his throat felt the next day.Courtesy Improbable.com
A study of microbes and toxins in beards—specifically, the beards of researchers working in laboratories—caught the fancy of the Ig Nobel committee. It also became the basis for safety guidelines in biohazard labs worldwide, Abrahams says. The image here is Figure 2 from the original 1967 paper. The bearded researchers are demonstrating different sampling techniques.Image from Applied Microbiology, July 1967. Reprinted with permission.
In 1996, a Stanford philosophy professor wrote a theory of structured procrastination. He argued that high achievement comes by working on important tasks as a means of avoiding other important tasks—for example, the papers he was avoiding grading. The procrastinators on the Ig Nobel committee lauded the author 15 years later.Katie Peek. Computer image by Raumrot
Joseph Keller (Physics, 1999 and 2012)
Only a few people have the honor of being singled out for Ig Nobels twice. Joseph Keller won in 1999 for a model of a dripless teapot spout, and then again in 2012 for a calculation of the forces that move hair in a ponytail.Courtesy Improbable.com
