Not every tarot reader makes use of clarification cards. Some readers only use them once in a reading when a tarot card is not clear to them and other readers use them more often. The way people use clarification cards is different as well. In my opinion the reading is always about the card you have drawn first. A clarification card, to me, is a card that can explains this card even further. Because reading tarot is something personal it is always best to do it on your own way, in this post I just like to share the benefits of using clarification cards and to show you ONE way to use them. Like in an old German saying: many ways leads to Rome :).
So what are the benefits of using clarification cards? If you don't use tarot spreads, clarification can be a great support. For example they can give you a more detailed picture of the reading. Also for daily 1 card readings, clarification cards will give you more a detailed story. They can tell about the emphasis about the reading. It is most of the time not necessary to use more then 2 clarifying cards for 1 card, but ofcourse it is possible. If you are a beginning tarot reader and you use more then 2 clarifying cards it is most of the time more confusing then without.
Tip 1: To target the subject of the tarot card more precise and to pair cards.
When you draw a second card next to the card you like to clarify, you can look at the differences and the similarities between the two cards. What is the common denominator of these 2 cards? Now you can take a look at the most obvious subject of these two cards.
Tip 2: To exclude subjects and give the reading a direction.
If you take a look at the two cards; which subject would you exclude? For example when you see the sun card upright and the 4 of wands card upright it is more likely that the subject is about comfortable feelings (from the querents perspective). There is a big chance the situation is about something that is making the querent happy. If instead of the 4 of wands you have drawn the moon card it can indicate someone with emtional big hights and big lows. This will make the sun card less positive for the querent and the reading can be about extremes and contrasts.
Tip 3: To indentify the motive behind a card.
If a card isn't clear to you because of the motive of the card, you can use a clarifying card. This kind of clarification can give you insight on why a card showed up.
Tip 4: To indentify what is most important to know and which card has a stronger influence.
Together with the card that isn't clear to you, the clarification card can strengten or weaken the other card. With this clarification card you can get also more insight in reversed tarot cards. You can find out if a reversed card is blocked or that it is only delayed.
Tip 5: To connect cards.
How: A clarifying card can be the missing piece (something you didn't understand) to connect the meanings of the other tarot cards.

I really like that you talked about how clarification cards will give you more a detailed story for 1 card readings. My sister is really interested in the supernatural and the occult, and she's really serious about learning to read tarot cards before the year ends. I'll be sure to send a link of this article to her so she'll know what she'll need for the classes.


a fellow with the Twitter handle @FootyTube_ quickly changed his handle last night to @Dzhokhar_ and swapped out his avatar for a thumbnail of the suspect in the Boston bombings. That's hilarious!
Or not. But I predict a growth industry in this kind of thing. FootyTube's idiocy was easy enough to see through, but someone out there now has the bright idea of creating a Twitter/Facebook/Tumblr/etc. account and populating it over time with grievances of some kind. Islamic, gun nut, anti-tax, libertarian, PETA, whatever. Just create a nice long chain of posts and then wait for the next terrorist attack. As soon as pics and names are available, switch the account name, make it public, and wait to be discovered.

Meghan King Edmonds' 13-Month-Old Son Has 'Irreversible Brain Damage'
By Riley Cardoza
Meghan King Edmonds revealed that her 13-month-old son, Hart, has "irreversible brain damage" in an emotional Thursday, July 4, blog post.
Real Housewives' Kids, Then and Now
"From the minute he was born I knew something was different with Hart," the Real Housewives of Orange County alum, 34, who welcomed Hart and his twin brother, Hayes, with her husband, Jim Edmonds, in June 2018, wrote in the "My Hart" post. "The nurses struggled to straighten his legs to measure his length. He suckled hard, shallow, and often until I bled and he spit up black."

The former reality star wrote that she "just knew" something was wrong with her son, even though multiple neurologists told her that her little one was fine. But after her son had an "elective MRI with anesthesia," the results confirmed her suspicions.
Celebrity Parents Who Have Twins
"Hart has minor Periventricular Leukomalacia on both sides of his brain (namely the white matter), but more so on his right," Meghan wrote. "[The doctor] said that this explains all of my concerns: the rigidity in his muscles, the (somewhat) delayed physical milestones, the lack of fluidity with arm and leg movements, the stiffness in joints, the weakness in his lower back, the somewhat favored use of his right side."

She added, "She told me this mainly occurs in premies and since he was not a premie (he was born at 37 weeks gestation) she believes this damage somehow occurred 'a couple months before he was born.' She explained that he is at risk for being diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and will be monitored. Hart has irreversible brain damage."
Meghan went on to write that she is staying positive. "I explained to Jimmy how we are not somehow compromised or punished for having a child with special needs (whatever that may or may not mean!), we are BLESSED," she wrote. "I will go on about this another time but just know that I do not see his diagnosis as anything but a gift: we were chosen to take on this special person. I truly feel as if we've doubled down and won the underdog hand. Truly."
The news of their son's health comes weeks after news broke that the former baseball pro, 48, cheated on his wife with a woman named Jennifer McFelia Villegas.
It's 6am, do you know where your kids are? Mine are on me. Literally. Jimmy is in Florida so mornings are extra fun for mama! Aspen hasn't taken a paci since she was the twins' age, Hayes is getting payback from Hart (see previous post), I'm naked under this robe (I managed a shower prior to the morning feed) and Aspen is "helping" Hart get ready by brushing his luscious locks.

From 'RHOC' to Fertility Struggles to Cheating Scandals: Meghan King Edmonds and Jim Edmonds' Relationship Timeline
"I only blame my husband for his actions: he made the choice to betray my trust and jeopardize our marriage," Meghan told Us exclusively at the time. "His recklessness also allowed this woman to profit from my heartbreak — but now that her name is out there, she won't be able to shake down any other families as I rebuild mine."
The athlete told Us: "Regrettably, I had a lapse in judgment. I engaged in an inappropriate conversation with this person. At no time was there any type of relationship or physical contact. Absolutely none. This is someone trying to profit from my name. I am aware she has done this to others in the past."
The couple, who tied the knot in 2014, also share 2-year-old daughter, Aspen.

Hong Kong's migrant workers and their impact on the rule of law narrative
James Andrew RICE
Hong Kong's adherence to the rule of law has been widely understood as one of its "core values." As such, it has been understood as an institution necessary for good governance and a check against the abuse of governmental power as well as a feature that differentiates Hong Kong's system of governance from other parts of China. At the same time, intervening issues of immigration and of constitutional interpretation have begun to challenge this perception. This paper argues that a recent landmark decision involving the right to permanent residence has served to weaken the rule of law in Hong Kong. It has further highlighted a lack of commitment by the judiciary to either human rights claims or equal treatment under the law.

Hello everyone. I am kinda new to the party. I just got a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali with 8" screen and no Nav. I have been going through this forum to try and find out exactly everything I need. So far I am 99.9% sure I need a 2.5 HMI pre-programmed to my VIN as well as a USB adapter to replace the USB with SD Card I currently have. I also see where some people needed a new radio module but I am not sure if I need that or not. **Edit** I should mention that I am wanting this upgrade specifically for Apple CarPlay I had gone through this process with my 2013 Ford Fusion for about $400 late last year, but with that one I was able to do all the programming myself with a bluetooth OBDII adapter. I feel that the GMC will require less work on my end to actually get it up and running but I am having a hard time nailing down who/where to get the parts from and exactly what I need. I was hoping to avoid the $999 and up kits.

The Temple of Moloch
Description: From Journal of the Outdoor Life By National Tuberculosis Association February 1914: The plot of this year's picture, "The Temple of Moloch," is laid in a small village, the chief industries of which are some potteries, owned by Harrison Pratt. He also owns a group of dilapidated tenements, in which most of his employees live. Dr. Jordan, health officer of the village, is struck with the prevalence of tuberculosis, and on investigation finds that the unsanitary working conditions in the Pratt potteries, together with the unhealthy state of the tenement homes of the workmen, have most to do with the spread of the disease. He calls the matter to the attention of Pratt, who rebuffs him and tells him it is no use to try to do anything in the matter. Meanwhile, Dr. Jordan has fallen in love with Eloise, the daughter of Harrison Pratt, and she has become interested in his work, particularly that at the preventorium for children from tuberculous families. Three times Jordan appeals to Pratt, and each time he is rebuffed. Finally, in despair between his love for Eloise and his duty, he exposes the conditions he has discovered through articles in the newspapers, in which he calls the Pratt potteries and tenements a modern "Temple of Moloch," in that they feed young children to the God of Greed. When Eloise, who is ignorant of conditions in the factory, sees the paper she immediately resents what she considers an insult to her father, and returns her engagement ring to Dr. Jordan. A week later Pratt's daughter and son are found to have tuberculosis. When Eric Swanson, a former employee of Pratt's, who had been discharged because he had contracted "potter's rot" in the mills and was no longer able to work, hears of it, he exults over the calamity, which he views as a sort of personal vengeance. He musters all of his strength and steals away to the Pratt home, where Eloise and her brother are taking the cure for tuberculosis on the porch, and there denounces Pratt, gloating over him and telling him that his son and daughter were originally infected as young children by Cora Swanson, when she served as nurse-girl for the Pratts several years ago. So struck is Pratt by this denunciation and the graphic story of Swan- son, which is affirmed by Dr. Jordan, that he decides to clean up conditions in his potteries and tenements at once. The story ends with a Christmas scene, in which the engagement ring is returned to the hand of Eloise. and Dr. Jordan receives as a present a liberal check for the employment of visiting nurses, the establishment of open air schools and other anti-tuberculosis agencies in the town.

Q: PC won't boot (Asus P5K pro mainboard) No beeps, no screen output My Asus P5K Pro won't boot.

*

*When I connect the power

*

*Powerled on mainboard lights up normally. (doesn't flash, just turns on)

*When I press the power button;

*

*fans spin up

*powerleds on the front do NOT light up (normally they would)

*no beeps

*no screen output

I have managed to boot up a few times after taking out mainboard battery and clearing CMOS RAM. It looked like each time when I changed a random settings in the BIOS (like boot order, or time) I would get the same problem again.
But now I can't get it to boot up, even after clearing CMOS RAM.
I have tried to replace the mainboard battery with a new one, did not help.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
UPDATE: I don't feel it has anything to do with the power supply. Disconnecting HDD, DVD, USB etc. did not change anything. Also, after clearing CMOS RAM, I have been able to work on this computer for a few days with all devices attached.
UPDATE: I have also tried to remove graphics card and memory, still no beeps.
UPDATE: FIXED: Swapping out the PSU seemed to do the trick, allthough seeing the circumstances this didn't seem likely. After swapping back to the old one, PC didn't work again.
Let's see if it holds up.

A: *

*Easiest way to solve this problem – get a new PC.

*Not-so-easy way to solve this problem – upgrade CPU, motherboard, PSU, RAM

*Hard way: isolate which part is causing the problem, then replace it

*

*test PSU

*check CPU

*swap RAM

*test motherboard

A: If your computer does not produce any beeps while attempting to boot with no memory or graphics card (assuming it doesn't have built-in video), the motherboard needs to be replaced.
A large majority of motherboards will produce a string of beeps alerting the user to an issue if the system is powered on without RAM.  Hence, if your computer makes no beeps, there are bigger issues - ergo replace motherboard.

A: I had the same problem.
It seems a capacitor holds power from PSU and won't let it boot next time.
I tried this:

*

*Whenever I shut down, I also switch off my PSU.

*Next, I turn on the PSU and then power my P5K Premium.

I found out that,
following that sequence, I have not had any problems afterwards.

It's Official: Marvel To Replace Edward Norton in 'The Avengers'
– on Jul 09, 2010
[UPDATE: Marvel Studios is officially recasting the Hulk for The Avengers movie - Edward Norton is out. Check out the end of the article for details.]
Since its inception, Marvel Studios has deliberately and carefully been building towards a unique and ambitious cinematic event- The Avengers. From the very first tease offered in the post-credits scene of Iron Man, fans have been salivating over the idea and watching with cautious optimism as piece after piece falls into place.
The Avengers was always going to be a challenging project for creative and logistical reasons but the glue holding it together was the excitement of seeing not only the iconic characters on screen together, but also the familiar faces of the actors we've come to associate with them -- which makes this latest development appear to be the first major misstep Marvel has made with the project.
Evidently, when The Avengers assemble on May 4th, 2012 - it will be without Edward Norton as the Hulk. According to HitFix:
Marvel made a decision to hire an unknown, and they informed Norton that they won't be using him in the film. And that is evidently that.
It's widely known that Norton has had something of a troubled past with the studio but this decision wasn't made because he declined to be a part of the film. In fact, Norton wanted to play Bruce Banner again. He even recently met with Avengers director Joss Whedon and was reportedly so excited by what he heard that he told his agency to keep his schedule open.
Prior to that meeting, his only stipulation was that The Avengers had to push the Banner character forward in some way. Norton may have a reputation for being difficult to work with but in the case of The Incredible Hulk and The Avengers it's important to remember that what he was fighting for was his character and the story. He's a huge fan of the comics and this stuff matters to him and he knows it matters to fans.
Passion is only part of the equation unfortunately- there's also the financial aspect of this situation. We know Marvel initially low-balled Mickey Rourke and Samuel L. Jackson for their involvement in Iron Man 2 and with a project as immense and intimidating as The Avengers, they're no doubt looking to cut costs wherever they can.
While details of how exactly the negotiations between Marvel and Norton fell apart are unclear, I can't help but wonder if the studio felt the actor might just be more trouble than he's worth.
Norton's performance was hands down my favorite part of The Incredible Hulk so this news is particularly troubling to me. There's just absolutely no way I can see an unknown actor bringing the same weight and authority to that role. I understand the pressure to control costs, but the true value of this property is not in its budget or box-office gross- it's the innovative execution of something that's never been attempted before. As the HitFix article so perfectly sums it up:
"Avengers assemble" is more than just a nifty slogan for a ball cap. It's a call to arms for a one-of-a-kind movie event. Please... treat it that way. The rewards will be worth the effort.
It's official, Marvel Studios President of Production Kevin Feige has released an official statement - confirming the studio is in fact ditching Norton and recasting a more "collaborative" Hulk-worthy actor for The Avengers:
"We have made the decision to not bring Ed Norton back to portray the title role of Bruce Banner in the Avengers. Our decision is definitely not one based on monetary factors, but instead rooted in the need for an actor who embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members. The Avengers demands players who thrive working as part of an ensemble, as evidenced by Robert, Chris H, Chris E, Sam, Scarlett, and all of our talented casts. We are looking to announce a name actor who fulfills these requirements, and is passionate about the iconic role in the coming weeks."
RE-UPDATE:
Norton himself has responded to Marvel's announcement with this note on his Facebook Page:
How do you feel about The Avengers minus Edward Norton? Is this a big mistake on Marvel's part or do you think it's possible that an unknown can deliver in the role?
I guess this goes against the rumored plans to have Norton appear on stage as part of the Marvel presentation at San Diego Comic-Con.

THis book offers a new account of the cultural work of romance in nineteenth-century Britain. The book argues that novelists and playwrights employed this genre to represent a radically new historical formation: the emergence of the global free market economy. In previous centuries, the British state had pursued an economic policy that privileged domestic goods over foreign ones. Through the first half of the nineteenth century, liberal economists maintained that commodity traffic across national borders should move outside the purview of the state, and their position gained increasing support. Amid economic transformation, Britons pondered the effects of vertiginous circulation. Would patriotic attachment to the homeland dissolve along with the preference for domestic goods? What would be the fate of the nation and the empire if commerce were uncontrollable? The literary genre of romance, characterized by protagonists who drift in lawless spaces, played a privileged role in addressing such pressing questions. From the figure of the smuggler to episodic plot structure, romance elements in fiction and drama narrated sprawling global markets and the fluidity of capital. Exploring works by Walter Scott, Harriet Martineau, Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, and their lesser-known contemporaries, this book historicizes globalization as it traces the sense of dissolving borders and the perceived decline of national sovereignty back into the nineteenth century.Less

From the figure of the smuggler to episodic plot structure, romance elements in fiction and drama narrated sprawling global markets and the fluidity of capital. Exploring works by Walter Scott, Harriet Martineau, Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, and their lesser-known contemporaries, this book historicizes globalization as it traces the sense of dissolving borders and the perceived decline of national sovereignty back into the nineteenth century.

This text focuses solely on the writing of British writers of South Asian descent born or raised in Britain. Exploring the unique contribution of these writers, it positions their work within debates surrounding black British, diasporic, migrant and postcolonial literature in order to foreground both the continuities and tensions embedded in their relationship to such terms, engaging in particular with the ways in which this 'new' generation has been denied the right to a distinctive theoretical framework through absorption into pre-existing frames of reference. Focusing on the diversity of contemporary British Asian experience, the book deals with themes including gender, national and religious identity, the reality of post-9/11 Britain, the post-ethnic self, urban belonging, generational difference and youth identities, as well as indicating how these writers manipulate genre and the novel form in support of their thematic concerns.Less

Although Britain's role in Latin America has remained marginal to most historians of the British Empire, other specialists have produced an impressive volume of publications. The growth of Latin American studies in North American and British universities from the 1960s stimulated much research from historians in the developed world. Several features stand out from the resulting literature. An intense confrontation developed between those influenced by the major currents of Latin American political economy (nationalism, Marxism, structuralism, and dependency) and those who preferred a more empirical approach. Discussion on the British literature on Latin America before 1950, theories and concepts, and researches in the 1970s and 1980s is presented in this chapter. Research on the 20th century was hindered, until 1967, by the fifty-year closure of British government archives.Less

Tom Burns had possessed extraordinary professional gifts as an observer and analyst of social life 'on the ground'. He preferred practising sociology rather than debating its nature or justifying its existence. One might say that, throughout his career, he preferred being a practitioner of sociology to being an apologist for it. Tom's overall intellectual stance expressed a deep commitment to the moral values and the political priorities associated with the British labour tradition. He always wrote to a high literary standard, which reflected on the one hand his thorough familiarity with British and European literature, and on the other his keen sense for the social and moral significance of the way people express themselves verbally in 'real life'. His accounts of organisational life devote a great deal of attention to local speech codes — the expressive and ritual aspects of the way in which people address each other in a variety of contexts.Less

Transatlantic Modernism and the Emergence of Postcolonial Literature is a study of midcentury literary institutions integral to the formation of both modernism and postcolonial writing. Several organizations central to interwar modernism, such as the BBC, influential publishers, and university English departments, became important sites in the emergence of postcolonial literature after the war. How did some of modernism's leading figures of the 1930s, such as T.S. Eliot, Louis MacNeice, and Stephen Spender, come to admire late colonial and early postcolonial literature in the 1950s? Similarly, why did late colonial and early postcolonial writers--including Chinua Achebe, Kamau Brathwaite, Claude McKay, and Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o--actively seek alliances with metropolitan intellectuals? Peter Kalliney's original archival work on modernist cultural institutions demonstrates that this disparate group of intellectuals had strong professional incentives to treat one another more as fellow literary professionals, and less as political or cultural antagonists. Surprisingly, metropolitan intellectuals and their late colonial counterparts leaned heavily on modernist theories of aesthetic autonomy to facilitate their collaborative ventures. For white, metropolitan writers, TS Eliot's notion of impersonality could help to recruit new audiences and conspirators from colonized regions of the world. For black, colonial writers, aesthetic autonomy could be used to imagine a literary sphere uniquely resistant to the forms of racial prejudice endemic to the colonial system. This strategic collaboration did not last forever, but it left a lasting imprint on the ultimate disposition of modernism and the evolution of postcolonial literature.Less

There have been Asian writers in Britain for almost as long as there have been Asians in Britain: since the seventeenth century. In the wake of mass migration from the 1950s, however, for the first time there exist in large numbers Asians born in Britain or settled since childhood, and now, as a result, British-born or British-raised Asian authors. This book focuses on the works of fiction produced by British Asians. Its central contention is that British Asian authors, who have emerged only in notable numbers in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, mark the establishment of a definitive genre of British Asian literature deserving recognition in its own right. Throughout the book, the term 'British-born/raised' is employed in preference to the terms 'second generation' (for those born in Britain) or '1.5 generation' (for those raised in Britain). The book examines the writings of Salman Rushdie and V. S. Naipaul, Hanif Kureishi, Ravinder Randhawa, Atima Srivastava, Nadeem Aslam, Meera Syal, Hari Kunzru, Monica Ali and Suhayl Saadi.Less

This book presents the first in-depth account of the relationship between English and Scottish poets and the international concrete poetry movement of the 1950s-70s. Concrete poetry was a literary and artistic style which reactivated early-twentieth-century modernist impulses towards the merging of artistic media while simultaneously speaking to a gamut of contemporary contexts, from post-1945 social reconstruction to cybernetics, mass media, and the sixties counter-culture. The terms of its development in England and Scotland also suggest new ways of mapping ongoing complexities in the relationship between those two national cultures, and of tracing broader sociological and cultural trends in Britain during the 1960s-70s. Focusing especially on the work of Ian Hamilton Finlay, Edwin Morgan, Dom Sylvester Houédard, and Bob Cobbing, Border Blurs is based on new and extensive archival and primary research. It fills a gap in contemporary understandings of a significant literary and artistic genre which has been largely overlooked by literary critics. It also sheds new light on the development of British and Scottish literature during the late twentieth century, on the emergence of intermedia art, and on the development of modernism beyond its early-twentieth-century, urban Western networks.Less

This chapter explores the transition between migrant and British-born/raised positioning through the figures of V. S. Naipaul and Salman Rushdie, arguing that the common reading of their liminal positioning can be reconsidered to emphasise the transition from migrant to British Asian consciousness. Are Naipul and Rushdie British authors, needing to be read within the context of an increasingly multicultural British literature? They are not alone in being based for the majority of their lives in Britain but being born elsewhere, and both reflect their status as postcolonial, rather than British Asian, authors, in their principal concern for the trauma of migration. While each authors' characters straddle alienation and confident belonging, the authorial voice in both cases is testament to the latter. In this respect, marginality is only employed strategically: what Graham Huggan refers to as both authors' 'staged marginality'. Both Rushdie and Naipaul capture a Britishness being changed to accommodate its ethnic citizens.Less

Russomania: Russian Culture and the Creation of British Modernism provides a new account of modernist literature's emergence in Britain. British writers played a central role in the dissemination of Russian literature and culture during the early twentieth century, and their writing was transformed by the encounter. This study restores the thick history of that moment, by analyzing networks of dissemination and reception to recover the role of neglected as well as canonical figures, and institutions as well as individuals. The dominant account of British modernism privileges a Francophile genealogy, but the turn-of-the century debate about the future of British writing was a triangular debate, a debate not only between French and English models, but between French, English, and Russian models. Francophile modernists associated Russian literature, especially the Tolstoyan novel, with an uncritical immersion in 'life' at the expense of a mastery of style, and while individual works might be admired, Russian literature as a whole was represented as a dangerous model for British writing. This supposed danger was closely bound up with the politics of the period, and this book investigates how Russian culture was deployed in the close relationships between writers, editors, and politicians who made up the early twentieth-century intellectual class—the British intelligentsia. Russomania argues that the most significant impact of Russian culture is not to be found in stylistic borrowings between canonical authors, but in the shaping of the major intellectual questions of the period: the relation between language and action, writer and audience, and the work of art and lived experience. The resulting account brings an occluded genealogy of early modernism to the fore, with a different arrangement of protagonists, different critical values, and stronger lines of connection to the realist experiments of the Victorian past, and the anti-formalism and revived romanticism of the 1930s and 1940s future.Less

In the summer of 2001, young British Asians took to the streets of Oldham and Burnley in the North of England to protest against perceived racial inequality in their neighbourhoods. In the popular British press, these events were reported as illustrative of the disconnection of young British Asians from wider British society, driven by outside 'foreign' influences. For Ash Amin, however, the protests by young British Muslims mark the emergence of a subcultural force refusing to remain hidden. Importantly, they do not mark distance from Britishness, alienation or confusion, but are, rather, evidence of the very secure sense of citizenship held by this British-born/raised generation. Monica Ali's first novel, Brick Lane, is imbued with this spirit of defiance. Like Nadeem Aslam, Ali seems to straddle worlds of postcolonial fiction and contemporary British Asian literature. Her second novel, Alentejo Blue (2004), can be read as a conscious attempt to refuse to allow simplistic associations between ethnic authors and particular subject matter. For Ali, the possible politics behind such a departure needs to be contextualised within the reception of Brick Lane.Less

In his three novels, Season of the Rainbirds (1993), Maps for Lost Lovers (2004) and The Wasted Vigil (2008), Nadeem Aslam fuses conventional postcolonial themes and literary techniques with a distinctly British sensibility. Born in Pakistan in 1966, he came with his parents to Britain at the age of fourteen, where the family settled in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, and has described himself as 'a Pakistani man living in Britain'. Yet, elsewhere, Aslam is described as 'Pakistani-British'. This personal history embodies his dual positioning as both British Asian and postcolonial migrant author. In many senses, Aslam, rather than embodying the qualities of British Asian literature, is part of the publishing storm surrounding postcolonial writers that developed in the 1990s. He is evidence of how, to consider British Asian authors simply in relation to an ethnic literature (whether defined as British Asian, Black British or postcolonial) is to neglect wider paradigms in contemporary literary fiction: not just British, but also international.Less

African identities have been written and rewritten about in both British and African literature for decades. These revisions have opened up new formulations of what it really means to be British or African. By comparing texts by authors from African and British backgrounds across a wide variety of political orientations, the book analyzes the deeper relationships between colonizer and colonized. It brings issues of race, gender, class, and sexuality into the analysis, providing new ways for cultural scholars to think about how empire and colony have impacted one another from the late eighteenth century through the decades following World War II. In these comparisons, the book focuses on commonalities rather than differences. By examining the work of writers including Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, T. S. Eliot, Abdulrazak Gurnah, Zoe Wicomb, Yvette Christianse, and Chris van Wyk, the book demonstrates how Britain's former African colonies influence British culture just as much as African culture was influenced by British colonization. The book brings a uniquely informed perspective to the topic, having lived in South Africa, Tanzania, and Great Britain, and having taught African literature for over a decade. The book demonstrates expert knowledge of local cultural history from 1945 to the present, in both Africa and Britain.Less

While eighteenth-century efforts to standardize the English language have long been studied, less well-known are the era's popular collections of odd slang, criminal argots, provincial dialects, and nautical jargon. This book delves into how these published works presented the supposed lexicons of the "common people" and traces the ways that these languages, once shunned and associated with outsiders, became objects of fascination in printed glossaries, and in novels, poems, and songs. The book argues that the recognition and recovery of outsider languages was part of a transition in the eighteenth century from an aristocratic, exclusive body politic to a British national community based on the rhetoric of inclusion and liberty, as well as the revaluing of a common British past. These representations of the vernacular made room for the "common people" within national culture, but only after representing their language as "strange." Such strange and estranged languages, even or especially in their obscurity, came to be claimed as British, making for complex imaginings of the nation and those who composed it. Odd cant languages, witty slang phrases, provincial terms newly valued for their connection to British history, or nautical jargon repurposed for sentimental connections all toggle, in eighteenth-century jest books, novels, and poems, between the alluringly alien and familiarly British.

While eighteenth-century efforts to standardize the English language have long been studied, less well-known are the era's popular collections of odd slang, criminal argots, provincial dialects, and nautical jargon. This book delves into how these published works presented the supposed lexicons of the "common people" and traces the ways that these languages, once shunned and associated with outsiders, became objects of fascination in printed glossaries, and in novels, poems, and songs. The book argues that the recognition and recovery of outsider languages was part of a transition in the eighteenth century from an aristocratic, exclusive body politic to a British national community based on the rhetoric of inclusion and liberty, as well as the revaluing of a common British past. These representations of the vernacular made room for the "common people" within national culture, but only after representing their language as "strange." Such strange and estranged languages, even or especially in their obscurity, came to be claimed as British, making for complex imaginings of the nation and those who composed it. Odd cant languages, witty slang phrases, provincial terms newly valued for their connection to British history, or nautical jargon repurposed for sentimental connections all toggle, in eighteenth-century jest books, novels, and poems, between the alluringly alien and familiarly British. Shedding new light on the history of the English language, the book explores how eighteenth-century British literature transformed the patois attributed to those on the margins into living symbols of the nation.

This chapter examines the British legacy in counterinsurgency at the turn of the twenty-first century. The narrative of British counterinsurgency is peppered with successful campaigns in Northern Ireland, Malaya, and Aden, as well as the theories derived from these engagements. However, it does not follow that the British armed forces has an almost natural talent for counterinsurgency as a result of these historical experiences. The chapter begins by tracing the genealogy of counterinsurgency literature that is built on a written tradition. Its genealogy primarily rests on the sheer frequency of the engagements with counterinsurgency of the British armed forces. British counterinsurgency literature reveals that the armed forces considered their past campaigns and knowledge of relevant principles as proofs of their mastery of the counterinsurgency operations, irrespective of political context or other circumstances.Less

The book traces the development of British Indian literature from the early days of the nineteenth century to the end of the Victorian period. Previously unstudied poems and essays drawn from the thriving periodicals culture of British India are examined alongside novels and travel-writing by authors including Philip Meadows Taylor, Emma Roberts and Rudyard Kipling, and the historical narratives of James Tod. Opening with an overview and discussion of the literary marketplace of the early nineteenth century, it moves on to the analysis of key moments, events and concerns of Victorian India, including the legacy of the Hastings impeachment, the Indian 'Mutiny', the sati controversy, and the rise of Bengal nationalism. These are re-assessed within their literary and political contexts, emphasising the engagement of British writers with canonical British literature (Scott, Byron) as well as the mythology and historiography of India and their own responses to their immediate surroundings. The book examines representations of the experience of being in India, in chapters on the poetry and prose of exile, and the dynamics of consumption. It also analyses colonial representations of the landscape and societies of India itself, in chapters on the figure of the bandit / hero, female agency and self-sacrifice, and the use of historiography to enlist indigenous narratives in the project of Empire.Less

Beyond Windrush: Rethinking Postwar Anglophone Caribbean Literature

The first book to critically redefine and reexamine West Indian literature of the 1950s, Beyond Windrush challenges the myth that an elite cohort of male novelists based in postwar London single-handedly produced Anglophone Caribbean literature and broadens our understanding of Caribbean and Black British literary history. Writers of this cohort, often reduced to George Lamming, V.S. Naipaul, and Sam Sevlon, are referred to "the Windrush writers," in tribute to the S.S. Empire Windrush, whose 1948 voyage from Jamaica inaugurated the large-scale Caribbean migration to London. They have been properly celebrated for producing a complex, anti-colonial, nationalist literary tradition, but, as this collection demonstrates, their uncritical canonization has obscured the diversity of postwar Caribbean writers and produced a narrow definition of West Indian literature. The fourteen original essays in this collection here make clear that already in the 1950s a wide spectrum of West Indian men and women—Afro-Caribbean, Indo-Caribbean and white-creole—were writing, publishing (and even painting)—and that many were in the Caribbean, Canada, and the United States, rather than London. Moreover, they addressed subjects omitted from the masculinist canon, such as queer sexuality and the environment. The collection offers new readings of canonical authors (Lamming, Roger Mais, and Andrew Salkey); hitherto marginalized authors (such as Ismith Khan, Elma Napier, and John Hearne); commonly ignored genres (such as the memoir, short stories, and journalism); as well as alternative units of cultural and political unity, such as the Pan-Caribbean as well as potentially trans-hemispheric, trans-island conceptions of political identity.Less

This chapter takes a look at the conflicting ways British literature, periodicals and popular entertainments increased, critiqued and eventually denied the nation's Spanish American mania. It shows that a whole cultural industry was created between 1822 and 1825 to exploit Britain's infatuation with Spanish America. The discussion then situates Robert Southey's A Tale of Paraguay and Felicia Hemans's The Forest Sanctuary in the boom and eventual ruination of the British economy. The chapter also argues that the lack of cultural, natural and economic description and their association of Spanish America with fatality metaphorize the lack of information investors had about Spanish America and the results of their ignorance.Less

Remains to be Seen (1989-1994)
Screening & Live Event
Phil Solomon Memorial Screening
Sunday, May 19, 4:30 p.m.
Museum of the Moving Image - Bartos Screening Room
Phil Solomon, who died this April, was one of the most beloved American avant-garde filmmakers. A student of Ken Jacobs at SUNY Binghmaton, and colleague of Stan Brakhage at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Solomon forged his own unique image alchemy, manipulating existing and original footage to create evocative, beautiful, and dreamlike works that reveal subterranean depths in their exquisite imagery. Generous, soft-spoken, equally serious and humorous, Solomon will be greatly missed. His work, miniaturist yet masterful, lives on, along with his legacy as an artist and teacher. This memorial screening will include 16mm prints of four of his greatest films (including a collaboration with Stan Brakhage). The program will include remarks by some of Solomon's friends and colleagues. Thanks to Canyon Cinema, source of the 16mm prints.—David Schwartz, Curator-at-Large
Films to be screened:
The Secret Garden (1988, 23 mins.) "The Secret Garden is one of Solomon's most exquisite films. As with Leslie Thornton and Lewis Klahr, there is the shadow of a story here, one which deals with the passage from innocence and experience and invokes equally terror and ecstasy." (Tom Gunning)
The Exquisite Hour (1989-1994, 14 mins.) Partly a lullaby for the dying, partly a lament at the dusk of cinema. Based on the song by Reynaldo Hahn and Paul Verlaine. (from Canyon Cinema catalog)
Remains to Be Seen (1989-1994, 17 mins.) "In the melancholic Remains to Be Seen, dedicated to the memory of Solomon's mother, the scratchy rhythm of a respirator intones menace. The film, optically crisscrossed with tiny eggshell cracks, often seems on the verge of shattering. The passage from life into death is chartered by fugitive images: pans of an operating room, an old home movie of a picnic, a bicyclist in vague outline against burnt orange and blue .... Solomon measures emotions with images that seem stolen from a family album of collective memory." (Manohla Dargis, The Village Voice)
Seasons… (2002, 15 mins. Silent) "Stan Brakhage's frame-by-frame hand carvings and etchings directly into the film emulsion, sometimes photographically combined with paint, are illuminated by Solomon's optical printing; this footage was then edited by Solomon into a four part 'seasonal cycle.' Seasons… is inspired by the colors and textures found in the woodcuts of Hokusai and Hiroshige, and the playful sense of forms dancing in space from the film works of Robert Breer and Len Lye." (Canyon Cinema)
Tickets: $15 ($11 seniors and students / $9 youth (ages 3–17) / free for children under 3 and Museum members at the Film Lover and Kids Premium levels and above). Order tickets online.(Members may contact members@movingimage.us with questions regarding online reservations.)

This startup is looking to harvest rain water and solar energy like never before
Saikat PyneJun 14, 2016, 16:29 IST
According to the United Nations, water use has grown at more than twice the rate of population increase in the last century. It is estimated that the demand for water will surpass the supply as early as 2025. These issues call for urgent attention.
With problems like unplanned urbanization and water scarcity, India's overall Environmental Technologies market including goods and services is almost $15 billion. An Indian startup is looking to address the global market for environmental goods which is targeted to reach $1.9 trillion by 2020.
Thinkphi's long term goal is to manufacture sustainably engineered products that intelligently conserve water, energy and waste. Its 'Ulta Chaata' has already become a much needed solution for cities.
The company's first product, is almost like a smart tree called 'Ulta Chaata', an inverted canopy looking structure provides potable water by capturing rain water during the monsoon and solar energy during the rest of the year. Each unit has the capability to harvest and filter up to 100,000 liters during the rainy season.
With a maximum solar capacity of 1.5KW the product also includes an intelligent lighting system which provides various levels of programmable lighting options and a mobile charge unit, thereby making it a completely self-sustaining installation for the outdoors. Powered by a central operating system called the 'phi-box', the controls help the lighting run for 4 to 5 days on a single solar charge and can provide potable quality drinking water through its in-built filter.
The operating system also monitors, captures data, and allows users to communicate with a cluster of units over the cloud. The company has also filed multiple global patents on design and utility which smartly converges water harvesting and renewable energy, ideal for smart cities, industries or large campuses.
The company has made some early sales of its patented Rainwater and Solar harvesting product to key customers like Godrej Interio and Rustomjee.
The startup uses a unique interactive process of product development which is closely tied to its proprietary sustainability wheel. Its goal is to become the Earth's most sustainable company.

With ChessCE, will you beat your CE at chess?
Just a few days ago, Matt "MateoConLechuga" Waltz, very active community member, especially on the TI-eZ80 series, recently uploaded a beautiful chess game for your TI-84 Plus CE / 83 Premium CE, aptly named ChessCE.
Now, chess games on TI calculators aren't as common as your typical quadratic solvers, but they certainly are popular - the most famous of all probably being the TI-68k/AMS TI-Chess, by Thomas Nussbaumer and Marcos Lopez, with more than a quarter million downloads so far! Will ChessCE be that successful?
Well, like TI-Chess, in addition to being able to play with two people on the calculator, you can play against ChessCE's built-in AI, which makes it quite an interesting game duringbetween class or whenever else. In fact, you can even let it play against itself and just watch.
As usual with Mateo's programs, the C source code is available so that everyone can learn from it!
Enjoy, and may the best player win!
Re: With ChessCE, will you beat your CE at chess?
Wow! This looks cool. When I get my hands (paws?) on CEemu and a CE rom, this will be one of the first games I will download. To bad I don't have a CE. This appears to be better than anything I have posted (bear in mind that I only code in TI-BASIC). If the speed is really like in the gif animation, then this is really an amazing feat of calculator programming! I am not sure how hard it will be to beat this thing (the ez80 is nothing compared to a modern smartphone cpu). Also, the idea of the calc playing against itself seems cool (this can be used for stealth-entertainment during class). Long live MateoConLechuga and the calculator community!!! Can't wait for more!
Oh neat! You used the sprites I sent you :) I'm glad they finally are being used. This looks great!
Re: Re: With ChessCE, will you beat your CE at chess?
Merthsoft, do you do all of mateo's sprites? From the screenshots I have concluded that your sprites are really valuable art!
I have Ubuntu OS and I run tilem2 emulator with TI-84-PlusCe.ROM. I downloaded both of the TI chess binaries (Tichess and chessCe) but I don't know how to load them. In the emulator there are "send file", "recieve file" and "link cable" menu items.
