Part from bowling and batting, fielding is one of the most important aspect of the game. We have seen that matches are won because of fielders and their ability to convert flying edges and close calls into wickets. Catching has its own place in cricket and when it comes to close in positions like forward short leg or silly point, things are not easy for even the best in business. There have been few cricketers in the past who have made catching near the batsman a fine art. They have put their bodies on the edge as it is very risky to stand close to a batsman. The ball travels at a speed some times which is not easy to judge. Let's take a look at some of the best close-in fielders from the past.
Solkar was renowned for his excellent close fielding, of which he once remarked, "I only watch the ball." His catches led India to victory against England at The Oval in 1971, the team's first Test win in England. Eknath's team-mate at Sussex Tony Greig once said, "He was the best forward short leg I've ever seen. His 53 catches in only 27 matches is the best ratio for catches per test-match among non-wicket-keepers with 20 or more Tests. His reflexes and brilliant anticipation made him India's greatest forward short-leg fielder. His full length dives helped him in scooping catches which were only millimeters from the ground.
Close was one of the most charismatic and well-known cricketers. He took over 800 catches as a fielder. At just over six feet (1.83 m) tall he was a noticeable presence on the field, often fielding at the short leg position, close to the batsman. As cricketers did not use head or body protection in Close's days, he would often get hurt when a batsman struck a ball that hit him. He recently passed away.
Logie was awarded the Humming Bird Medal Silver in 1993 for his service to sport in Trinidad and Tobago. He was also the first cricket player to win a Man of the Match award for fielding. He was widely regarded as the greatest fielder before players like Jonty Rhodes came into prominence. Logie was a nightmare for a batsman who had a habit of playing flick or pull shot as any mistiming would result into a catch which he never missed. His unbelievable relaxes made him one of the standout fielders of his time. The current generation stars are following him when it comes to catching in the close-in positions.
He was one of the best spinners who was also famous for his fielding abilities. Throughout his career, he pocketed several unbelievable catches. Tony Lock was renowned for his full-length dives in the inner circle. He went on to take 59 catches in his 49 Tests, and as many as 831 in First- Class cricket. Lock took 2,844 first-class wickets, placing him ninth on the all-time list, and is the only player to score more than 10,000 runs without once making a century; despite passing fifty on 27 occasions, his highest score was that of 89 in Guyana.
Sir Garfield Sobers, the former West Indies legend is one of the greatest all-rounders of all time who was also famous for his electrifying fielding and catches in the close by areas. As a fielder, he hardly missed catches in the slip and at leg slip which are the two most challenging position in the game. He grabbed even those who were hit at a tremendous speed by a batsman. Sir Garfield Sobers was among the best fielders in every international series.
It is not very often that a cricketer who has played only four Tests can lay claim to being the joint holder of two world records. And yet this remarkable feat stands against the name of Yajurvindra Singh. Moreover, his feat was even more creditable as it was achieved on his Test debut. He took five catches to equal the record held by Australia's Vic Richardson against South Africa in 1935-36. In the second innings he held two more and this saw him equal the record held by Richardson's grandson Greg Chappell who took seven catches against England in 1974-75. However, his record of seven catches in a single Test match was recently broken by Ajinkya Rahane. He became the first fielder in Test history to take eight catches, achieving the feat on the third day of the 1st Test match against Sri Lanka at Galle. Incidentally Yajurvindra took 7 catches in a Test after Independence Day in 1977, while Rahane had done it on the eve of August 15.

10 Most Famous Spanish Artists And Their Masterpieces
Spain has a rich tradition in art and has played a major role in the history of western painting. Spanish Golden Age was a period from the early 16th century to the late 17th century which saw the nation flourishing in arts and literature; and, among other things, becoming an important contributor to the European art world. The best known artists of this era are El Greco, Diego Velazquez, Zurbaran and Murillo. Francisco Goya, the most important Spanish artist of late 18th and early 19th centuries, is often considered as both the last of the Old Masters and the first of the moderns. Spanish artists have had an enormous impact on modern art with some of the most influential artists of the modern era including Joan Miro, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali all coming from Spain. Know more about the contribution of Spain to the art world by studying the 10 most famous Spanish artists and their most renowned paintings.
#10 Francisco de Zurbarán
Francisco Zurbaran
Lifespan: 1598 – August 27, 1664
Chiaroscuro was an artistic technique first developed during the Renaissance in Italy. It is marked by the use of strong tonal contrasts between light and dark to model three-dimensional forms, often to dramatic effect. Francisco Zurbarán is known for the forceful, realistic use of chiaroscuro in his paintings. He was devoted to an artistic expression of religion and faith; and most of his best known works are religious paintings capable of evoking intense feelings of devotion. He also created several still life paintings including the renowned work Still-life with Lemons, Oranges and Rose. Along with El Greco and Diego Velázquez, Zurbaran is one of the most celebrated artists of the Spanish Golden Age.
Masterpiece: Saint Serapion (1628)
Saint Serapion (1628) – Francisco Zurbaran
Other Famous Works:-
The Crucifixion (1627)
Still Life with Lemons, Oranges and a Rose (1633)
#9 Juan Gris
Lifespan: March 23, 1887 – May 11, 1927
Juan Gris is one of the best known figures of the art movement Cubism, an influential movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture. In Cubism the artwork is analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form; also it is depicted from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. Unlike Picasso whose Cubist works were practically monochromatic; Gris created his paintings and sculptures with bright harmonious colors in daring, novel combinations. He later turned towards Crystal Cubism which emphasized on flat surface activity and large overlapping geometric planes. Juan Gris is the most famous Spanish Cubist artist after Picasso and he created some of the most important works of the movement.
Masterpiece: Portrait of Pablo Picasso (1912)
Portrait of Pablo Picasso (1912) – Juan Gris
Still Life with Flowers (1912)
Violin and glass (1915)
#8 Bartolomé Esteban Murillo
Bartolome Esteban Murillo
Lifespan: December, 1617 – April 3, 1682
Before the appreciation of the art of Velazquez, Zurbaran and El Greco in the 19th century; Murillo was the most famous Spanish painter. He was not only the most celebrated painter in Spain but also one of the most famous artists in all of Europe. He had many pupils and innumerable followers; and his paintings were the most prized Spanish artworks. Esteban Murillo was most known for his religious paintings but he also created a number of lively realist paintings of flower girls, street urchins etc. which give a captivating account of everyday life in his times. His style was marked by sweetness and sentimentality in contrast to the darker art of his contemporaries.
Masterpiece: The Immaculate Conception of Los Venerables (1678)
Immaculate Conception of Soult (1678) – Bartolome Esteban Murillo
Christ the Good Shepherd (1660)
The Young Beggar (1650)
#7 Joaquín Sorolla
Joaquin Sorolla
Lifespan: February 27, 1863 – August 10, 1923
Impressionism was an influential art movement which originated in France and was marked by distinctive brush strokes, vivid colours, ordinary subject matter, candid pose and most importantly, emphasis on accurate depiction of light. Sorolla excelled in dexterous representation of the people and landscape under the sunlight of his native land, thus reflecting the spirit of Impressionism in many of his paintings. He is one of most productive Spanish painters. He created over 2000 paintings, primarily portraits; landscapes; and monumental works of social and historical themes. Joaquín Sorolla was one of the leading Spanish artists of his time and he is perhaps the most famous Spanish painter associated with Impressionism.
Masterpiece: Sad Inheritance (1899)
Sad Inheritance (1899) – Joaquin Sorolla
Walk on the Beach (1909)
Sewing the Sail (1896)
#6 El Greco
Lifespan: 1541 – April 7, 1614
Born Doménikos Theotokópoulos on an island in present day Greece, El Greco got his popular name due to his Greek origin. After building his early career in Italy, he migrated to Spain in 1577, where he produced his mature works. El Greco excelled as a painter of religious subjects but was also equally adept in portraiture and landscapes. His art is considered a precursor of both Expressionism and Cubism; and is so individualistic that art historians struggle to place him in any conventional school. His masterpiece, The Burial of the Count of Orgaz, is a prime example of Mannerism, depicts a visionary experience and contains an impressive array of portraits. It is seen by art critics as the coming together of all the extraordinary attributes of his art.
Masterpiece: The Burial of the Count of Orgaz (1588)
The Burial of the Count of Orgaz (1588) – El Greco
View of Toledo (1600)
Opening of the Fifth Seal (1614)
#5 Joan Miró
Lifespan: April 20, 1893 – December 25, 1983
Surrealism was an influential art movement in the 20th century. Surrealist artists rejected rationalism and literary realism; and instead focused on channeling the unconscious mind to unveil the power of the imagination. Joan Miro was one of the first artists who developed automatic drawing to undo traditional techniques in painting, and hence, along with André Masson, represented the beginning of Surrealism as an art movement. His work is also considered a precursor to Abstract Expressionism and he is regarded as the forefather of that art movement. Hence Miro was an essential part of the two most dominant art movements of the 20th century. Internationally acclaimed during his time, Joan Miro is regarded as a towering figure in modern art.
Masterpiece: The Farm (1922)
The Farm (1922) – Joan Miro
The Harlequin's Carnival (1925)
Blue II (1961)
#4 Diego Velázquez
Lifespan: 1599 – August 6, 1660
Diego Velazquez was an important painter during his time and the leading artist in the court of King Philip IV of Spain. However, his popularity spread outside Spain only in the beginning of the 19th century when his artwork became a model for realist and impressionist painters. Since then Velazquez has been regarded as one of the most influential painters in European history and famous modern artists, including Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and Francis Bacon, have paid tribute to him by recreating several of his celebrated works. The masterpiece of Velazquez, Las Meninas, has been described to represent the "theology of painting" and "the true philosophy of the art" by notable artists.
Masterpiece: Las Meninas (1656)
Las Meninas (1656) – Diego Velazquez
Portrait of Innocent X (1650)
Rokeby Venus (1650)
#3 Francisco Goya
Lifespan: March 30, 1746 – April 16, 1828
Francisco Goya rose to prominence in the artistic scene through his series of tapestry cartoons and became the court painter to the Spanish Crown. He later developed a penchant for portrayals of a dark nature for which he is most known today. Known as his Black Paintings, they portray intense, haunting themes, reflective of both his fear of insanity and his bleak outlook on humanity. Goya is renowned for highly imaginative elements in his art and bold use of paint. His style became an inspiration for later generations of artists. Francisco Goya is regarded as the most important Spanish artist of late 18th and early 19th centuries; and one of the great portraitists of modern times.
Masterpiece: The Third of May 1808 (1814)
The Third of May 1808 (1814) – Francisco Goya
The Nude Maja (1800)
Saturn Devouring His Son (1823)
#2 Salvador Dalí
Lifespan: May 11, 1904 – January 23, 1989
Salvador Dali was the preeminent artist of the Surrealism movement and he created the most famous masterpieces of Surrealist art. His contribution to Surrealist painting include the paranoiac-critical method; in which the artist attempts to tap into his subconscious through systematic irrational thought and a self-induced paranoid state. Best known for his striking and bizarre images, Dali used extensive symbolism in his work. Recurring images in his paintings include elephants with brittle legs which evoke weightlessness; ants, thought to be his symbol for decay and death; and melting watches, perhaps symbolic of non-linear human perception of time. Salvador Dali was one of the most influential figures in modern art and perhaps the most renowned 20th century painter after Pablo Picasso.
Masterpiece: The Persistence of Memory (1931)
The Persistence of Memory (1931) – Salvador Dali
Swans Reflecting Elephants (1937)
Soft Construction with Boiled Beans (1936)
#1 Pablo Picasso
Lifespan: October 25, 1881 – April 8, 1973
Demonstrating extraordinary artistic talent in his early years, Pablo Picasso went on to become the most influential artist of the 20th century. He broke the practices of the past and co-pioneered the art movement Cubism that revolutionized European painting and sculpture. His style changed over the course of his career as he experimented with different theories, techniques and ideas. Picasso was a prolific artist and, apart from creating a large volume of work in other media, he made around 1900 paintings in his long career. No artist has been as famous as him during his lifetime. Several of his paintings are among the most expensive ever sold but his most famous works are generally held by museums. Pablo Picasso is undoubtedly the most famous Spanish artist and many regard him as the greatest painter of all time.
Masterpiece: Guernica (1937)
Guernica (1937) – Pablo Picasso
Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907)
The Weeping Woman (1937)

Leon Levy Center for Biography
Born in Kentucky, Elizabeth Hardwick left for New York City on a Greyhound bus in 1939 and quickly made a name for herself as a formidable member of the intellectual elite. Her eventful life included stretches of dire poverty, romantic escapades, and dustups with authors she eviscerated in The New York Review of Books, of which she was a cofounder. She formed lasting friendships with literary notables―including Mary McCarthy, Adrienne Rich, and Susan Sontag―who appreciated her sharp wit and relish for gossip, progressive politics, and great literature.
Hardwick's life and writing were shaped by a turbulent marriage to the poet Robert Lowell, whom she adored, standing by faithfully through his episodes of bipolar illness. Lowell's decision to publish excerpts from her private letters in The Dolphin greatly distressed Hardwick and ignited a major literary controversy. Hardwick emerged from the scandal with the clarity and wisdom that illuminate her brilliant work―most notably Sleepless Nights, a daring, lyrical, and keenly perceptive collage of reflections and glimpses of people encountered as they stumble through lives of deprivation or privilege.
A Splendid Intelligence finally gives Hardwick her due as one of the great postwar cultural critics. Ranging over a broad territory―from the depiction of women in classic novels to the civil rights movement, from theater in New York to life in Brazil, Kentucky, and Maine―Hardwick's essays remain strikingly original, fiercely opinionated, and exquisitely wrought. In this lively and illuminating biography, Cathy Curtis offers an intimate portrait of an exceptional woman who vigorously forged her own identity on and off the page.
In addition to her new life of Elizabeth Hardwick, Cathy Curtis is the author of three biographies of women artists (all published by Oxford University Press): Restless Ambition: Grace Hartigan, Painter (2015), A Generous Vision: the Creative Life of Elaine de Kooning (2017); and Alive Still: Nell Blaine, American Painter(2019).
Ian Buruma, a regular contributor to and former editor of the New York Review of Books, is the author of, among other works: Behind the Mask, God's Dust, Playing the Game and Murder in Amsterdam: The Death of Theo van Gogh and the Limits of Tolerance. Buruma has won several prizes for his books, including the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay for Theater of Cruelty: Art, Film and the Shadows of War.

Early this year, ComEd installed at Chicago's Beethoven Elementary School a series of 30-foot-tall Remote Power Units (RPUs), miniature power plants that draw energy from a wind turbine, solar panels and battery storage.
The off-grid lights are pilot projects in ComEd's Community of the Future initiative, focused on using smart-grid technology to become more connected, green and resilient, while developing interests and skills among students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).
"We hope this innovative lighting solution will not only light up the physical paths students walk on, but show them that STEM isn't just something you study in a classroom; it can transform everything from the internet to your walk to school," said Shay Bahramirad, vice president, engineering and smart grid, ComEd.
The RPU has a unique wind turbine that enhances airflow into the blades, causing a generator to efficiently produce energy and power the LED lighting. It combines the potential for wind at any hour of the day with daytime solar and a battery storage unit large enough to power the light for up to five days with no generation. The RPU powers its own internet connectivity to monitor and control its operation.
Smart Industry: Is educating Beethoven students about data-analysis/smart solutions a priority?
Dr. Brown: At Beethoven Elementary School we are working to expose our students to the use of a wind/solar off-grid power unit, which is installed on our school's campus. Through the use of this technology, our students will have the opportunity to learn from the research of the Remote Power Units that will allow us to create awareness of wind/solar energy and how this technology generates renewable energy from sources that are naturally replenishing. Having our students engage in the data-analysis of energy-renewable sources is a priority for us. Our students will have the opportunity to read and record the data from the Remote Power Unites to help them gain a more in-depth understanding of energy and how weather relates.
Smart Industry: What lessons will science teachers create based on data coming from this lighting network?
Dr. Brown: One of the positive benefits of this partnership and having the Remote Power Units on our campus is the fact that our designated teachers will be trained on the model and its features to optimally benefit our students' learning experience. The lessons for this real-world experience of teaching and learning science will be aligned to our current curriculum, which provides lessons on wind/solar labs, projects, and an understanding of energy and how weather relates. Our students will apply the learning from their data-analysis to observe and discuss energy conservation, which leads to programmable dimming of the unit; energy efficiency, which is directly related to LED lighting; renewable energy, which is powered by wind and solar; and energy storage, where students will be able to observe data and how energy is stored without wind or solar for a period of time.
Lastly, our students will dive deep into the data/IT, which will show a correlation with the self-powered internet. This learning experience allows our students to learn real-world science beyond the four walls of our classrooms and build upon our students' 21st century learning skills in the following areas—collaboration and leadership, critical thinking and problem solving, creativity and innovation, social responsibility and cultural, global and environmental awareness.

A gallery for mistakes to take on a new life.
In today's society, we embrace the perfections and reject the mistakes. These become something negative even though that's how we learn. It's time to give aberrations, misprints, and rejected ideas a new form and place in the world. Material objects don't have to be thrown out. They can be repurposed and embraced as new. This exhibition takes mistakes and turns them into new art forms. Instead of throwing misprints out the window, this exhibition encourages visitors to take those mistakes and give them a new story.
The exhibition includes beautiful blunders and their new context, showing that they can take on a new life that is given to them by visitors.
Making mistakes is all about what you take away: a lesson learned, a new approach, or even just what not to do.
As the curator, I managed a team of students to help throughout the process.
After everything was set up, the gallery opened and people came to visit. To my delight people came, they stayed, they laughed, and they left with smiles on their faces. The show was exhibited for three weeks and the gallery changed from day to day as new people came in and interacted with the space.

Q: Generic method and converting: how to define that Type 1 is convertible to Type 2 I defined this method:
public static List<T2> ConvertList<T1, T2>(List<T1> param) where T1:class where T2:class
{
    List<T2> result = new List<T2>();

    foreach (T1 p in param)
        result.Add((T2)p);

    return result;
}

For converting Lists of Type 1 to Lists of Type 2.
Unfortunately I forgot, that C# compiler cannot say at this stage that T1 is convertible to T2, so it throws error:

error CS0030: Cannot convert type T1 to T2

Can someone direct me how to do it properly? I need this method for now only to convert list of custom class to list of object, so as in .NET everything derives from object it should work.
Basically what I would expect is some syntax to tell compiler that T2 (object) is base for T1 (MyClass), so something like:
public static List<T2> ConvertList<T1, T2>(List<T1> param) where T2: base of T1

(... where T2: base of T1)

A: You could specify it in a generic parameter:
public static List<T2> ConvertList<T1, T2>(List<T1> param)
                 where T1:class,T2
                 where T2:class
{
    List<T2> result = new List<T2>();

    foreach (T1 p in param)
        result.Add((T2)p);

    return result;
}

Tattoos signify timelines in my life. The first tattoo I received was a large piece on my back that represents my diagnosis of Graves Disease. Since then, 'ink therapy' is a coping mechanism that I use to celebrate challenges that I have persevered. I have a piece to represent different stages in my life. The most recent is a watercolor rose on my inner forearm with the script 'everything happens for a reason' in honour of my mom - my best friend - inked after her unexpected passing.
I feel that tattoos are works of art that portray a person's life stories, and I have collaborated in the design of many of them, including a very large piece that wanders from my armpit down my leg, which features digital camo mingling with peony blooms. I love finding new creative ways to incorporate my passions into my tattoo designs.


The proposed table shows a view of a shortened forest, with large trees crossed by a stream, on the edges of which remain for some travelers to drink.
It is a well-attested model of landscape painting, with stylistic characteristics of the Veneto region, referring to the late seventeenth century, namely close to painting by Antonio Francesco Peruzzini (Ancona, 1643 - Milan, 1724).
Active for most of his career in northern Italy (in Veneto around the 80s / 90s of the 17th century) specialized with great originality in the representation of a wild and poetically imaginary nature.
Drawing on the great tradition of the Venetian landscape of the sixteenth century by Titian, then by the paintings of Salvator Rosa, Peruzzini used brighter range of colors, vivid and brilliant, brightening touch and enter into a kind of movement and vitality in his paintings.
These features, which are well inferred in the canvas under consideration, they point to delimit the attributive field to a painter's nearest circle.
Condition of the object: The painting, dating from the last decades of the seventeenth century, is in excellent condition, and always appears in the first painting. Antique frame, carved and gilded.

Feature | AAPM | August 21, 2019 | Dave Fornell, Editor
New Radiotherapy and Medical Physics Technology at AAPM 2019
Highlights include a self-shielding radiotherapy system, artificial intelligence, alpha particle brachytherapy and motion management technologies
The Zap-X stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) brain radiotherapy system is completely self-shielded, eliminating the need for a concrete vault. The goal of the system is to expand SRS brain therapy by making it easier to access and less expensive by eliminating the large expense of custom-built vaults to house the system.
There were several trends and new technologies in radiation oncology discussed at the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) 2019 meeting in July. This included new radiotherapy systems, a new type of brachytherapy seed, proton therapy for the eye, implementing artificial intelligence (AI) into clinical practice, and new technologies to better manage patient positioning during radiotherapy.
First Self-shielding SRS Brain Radiotherapy System Begins Operation
One of the most interesting new technologies discussed in sessions at AAPM was the first commercial installation of a Zap-X stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) brain radiotherapy system. Barrow Brain and Spine has the first operational system in the world and has so far treated about 20 patients, explained Stephen Sorensen, Ph.D., DABR, chief of medical physics, St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix, who helps operate the system.
Built to fully encapsulate the patient and the linear accelerator (linac) to be completely self-shielded, it resembles a Soyuz space capsule. By placing the shielding on the system itself, it eliminates the need for a concrete vault and it can be placed in a small room. Sorensen said the goal of the system is to expand SRS brain therapy by making it easier to access and less expensive by eliminating the large expense of custom building vaults to house the system. However, he said the tradeoff is that the system is heavy, so maximum floor loads need to be considered.
"We found the self shielding was sufficient to meet state regulatory requirements for radiation safety," Sorensen said. He presented data showing radiation readings from the treatment room, control room, surrounding rooms and the roof above all had radiation levels that were within safe limits and matched what state regulators recorded.
The system is designed only to treat brain tumors. The patient bed loads into the capsule and a door closes behind to seal it. The system delivers high-dose SRS therapy from a linac contained inside the capsule.
Sorensen said there are about 1 million brain tumor patients worldwide who are candidates for SRS, but only about 150,000 are treated each year. He explained part of the reason the system was developed was to make SRS more widely available.
Learn more in an interview with Sorensen in the VIDEO: Use of a Fully Self-contained Brain Radiotherapy System.
High-energy Alpha Particle Brachytherapy in Development
A new alpha radiation brachytherapy seed, the Alpha DaRT Technology, may offer advantages over conventional brachytherapy, said medical physicist Lior Arazi, Ph.D., an assistant professor at Ben-Gurion University, Israel, who is helping with development. He presented on a new radium-224 seed that offers short-lived, high-dose alpha particles to kill cancer cells in the micro-Curie range as opposed to milli-Curies. By diffusion and convection, these atoms disperse to a therapeutically significant range of several millimeters, delivering a high dose of radiation inside the tumor, Arazi explained. Because the radiation only affects a few millimeters, they can be placed very close to critical structures, he said.
The alpha particles are not sensitive to oxygen levels in the cells. Arazi said there has not been any observable systemic damage from the seeds, but tumors begin shrinking almost immediately after exposure to the radium-224 source, with results observable the day after treatment.
The company developing this technology is AlphaTau, which recently started clinical trials at 60 sites worldwide.
Watch an interview with Arazi in the VIDEO: New Alpha Emitter Brachytherapy Seeds in Development.
Proton Therapy for Eye Cancer
A new area for proton therapy is eye cancer, because of the ability to control the tissue penetration and eliminate full beam lines through a multitude of critical structures and healthy surrounding tissue in the head. RaySearch unveiled a new treatment planning software for the eye at AAPM 2019. The vendor showed some of the first patient cases coming out of the Westdeutsches Protonentherapiezentrum Essen (WPE) proton center in Germany. RaySearch said several U.S. proton centers had interest in the technology at the conference.
Watch a VIDEO Example of an Eye Proton Therapy Treatment Plan.
Creating a Low-cost Radiotherapy System for the Developing World
The Image X Institute at the University of Sydney, Australia, is working on a low-cost radiation therapy system for the developing world. The Nano-X system will use a fixed linac gantry and rotate the patient around the beam, since it is less expensive to build a table than the materials and machinery needed to rotate the linac gantry, said Paul Liu, Ph.D., post-doctoral research associate who presented in a session on the project. He said this will lighten the weight of the system, reduce the need for room shielding and cut the number of moving parts to lower costs and ease maintenance.
Learn more about the system in an interview with Liu in the VIDEO: Creating a Low-cost Radiotherapy System for the Developing World.
Advances in Motion Management in Radiotherapy
Tumor tracking due to respiratory motion or patient positioning during each fraction is a constant issue in radiation oncology. Several technologies were highlighted in sessions and on the expo floor to address motion.
Varian's Truebeam Advanced Imaging Package for Prostate has a motion tracking feature that is being studied by the University of Chicago. Physics resident Michelle Rokni presented the research in sessions and said Kv images can be acquired during treatment delivery to track fiducial markers in the prostate. Color-coded markers show if the fiducials are in or out of tolerance with the treatment plan. Rokni said this adds about three minutes of time to the procedure, but allows periodic checks for prostate motion. Rokni said the imaging adds about 1 Gy of extra dose, and added that some types of fiducial markers are visualized better than others with the system.
Varian Medical Systems engineer Daren Sawsky, Ph.D., said in sessions the company is working to develop artificial intelligence neural networks to automatically detect fiduciary markers in tumors. The idea is to have the AI watch the tumor and fiducial markers in real time and automatically adjust the radiotherapy system for any motion. This AI-based tumor tracking system would image the markers in real time using RT systems' onboard imaging system.
Sawsky said a common approach to motion management is template matching. However, he said the cancer and surrounding soft tissue can deform and make this approach no longer appropriate. Tracking fiducial markers may help better track motion and indicate if a template needs to be modified. However, he said the development effort has turned out to be more complex than originally thought.
On the expo floor, three vendors were showing three-point, light-based tracking systems for the patient on the treatment table.
Vision RT was showing its Align RT 3-D body surface tracking technology. It helps align the patient with the treatment plan using a colored light system, which indicates if part of a patient's body is out of alignment from the original computed tomography (CT) scans used to create the treatment plan.
The Varian Identify image-guided patient positioning system uses similar technology to help align patients on the radiotherapy system treatment table to match the position they were in when the CT scan was created. This ensures the radiation beams are delivered according to the treatment plan and will not be aimed accidentally at healthy tissue. It uses real-time tracking of the surface of the patient's skin using three visible light emitters, so it does not add dose like when on-board X-ray imaging is used. The system compares the patient's position to the treatment plan CT scan and color codes in red any areas that are not in the proper position. It also uses radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags on the table to help know the exact position of the patient.
The system can show the radiotherapist if the patient is no longer aligned with the plan and the therapist can manually stop the therapy. The vendor said in the future, they plan to integrate the system with Varian's therapy systems so treatment will be stopped automatically by the Identify system.
The system also uses a biometric scanner to ensure the correct plan is being used with the correct patient.
Watch a VIDEO walkaround of a Varian Identify system.
Accuray's new Synchrony technology uses LED markers on the patient's chest to track respiratory motion and allows the robotic arm of the Cyberknife treatment system to move the beam in real time to keep it on target.
Integrating Artificial Intelligence in Radiotherapy
New artificial intelligence (AI) software was shown on the expo floor by Mirada for automated segmentation of anatomy for treatment plans, and RaySearch showed a new U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared machine learning treatment planning system. The goal of the AI-based systems is to save staff time, but allow humans to do the final review.
The RaySearch RayStation machine learning algorithm is being used clinically by University Health Network, Princess Margaret Cancer Center, Toronto, Canada, where it has been rolled out over the last several months. Physics resident Leigh Conroy, Ph.D.,has been involved in rollout and is helping conduct a study, showing the automated plans and human-made plans to the radiation oncologists to get feedback and to see if they can pick out the deep learning-generated plans.
Learn more about this technology in an interview with Conroy in the VIDEO: Use of Machine Learning to Automate Radiotherapy Treatment Planning.
Varian also has developed AI-driven automated treatment planning software that is currently being used by several hospitals.
Mirada's AI-based DLCExpert software takes CT scans and automatically identifies and contours anatomical structures. This automates this otherwise time-consuming task that is required as the first step in creating radiation therapy treatment plans. One example the vendor included used an OAR Space hydrogel, injected to create space between the prostate and the rectum to prevent damage during radiotherapy. The gel is hard to identify on the CT scan because it looks like part of the rectum or prostate. But the AI software has been trained to identify it when present and contour it.
See an example of this AI technology in the short VIDEO: Artificial Intelligence Automatic Contouring and Segmentation For Radiotherapy.
Bridging Diversity in Medical Physics to Improve Patient Care
AAPM President Cynthia McCollough, Ph.D., director of Mayo Clinic's Computed Tomography (CT) Clinical Innovation Center, called attention in her president's address to the subconscious bias people have in medical physics and other medical specialties. This includes biases people harbor toward women, immigrants, religious groups and even between the different age groups, ranging from baby boomers to millennials.
She spoke on the theme of diversity and how to break down the barriers between various minorities — male-female, religion, national origin and others — giving many photo examples of how we pigeon-hole people into neat categories. She explained most people often say we have equality in society, however recent images she showed from big international political meetings showed no women present, or they were support staff in the background. She said in medical practice, department administration and collaboration on projects, staff needs to be cognizant of bias they have engrained by culture that they might not even be aware of.
She showed a slide of the AAPM membership makeup by generation and said everyone needs to keep in mind the way they think and communicate varies by our life experience and upbringing, so understanding can help bridge gaps in communication. She explained that Generation X and Millennials do not seem to cooperate well, but it is a perception mainly due to each group thinking differently. While an older department manager may send out an e-mail that they consider a directive, Millennials often interpret such e-mails as an invitation to collaborate and offer their thoughts. If these differences can be understood, McCollough said the differences can be embraced to arrive at better solutions that work for everyone.

Another Conrad Sister: Myrtle St. Clair
I've made it no secret that the Conrad-Holland square in Green Hill is one of my favorite family plots of all the cemeteries that I've visited. A great deal of detail went into the tree and rock themed markers, borders, and decorative accents. The people buried here have been the subjects of several "investigations" on this site, even though most of the descendants are long gone from the Danville area.
Myrtle's branch on the family tree
If you were looking at the square from the first photo, Myrtle Conrad Campbell's flat grass marker would be behind the large tree monument belonging to her mother, Mary Parker Holland Conrad.
Myrtle St. Clair Conrad was born on July 24, 1886. She was only 3 when her mother died and about 7 when her father passed away. She and her siblings lived with her maternal uncle and his wife following Charles Conrad's death.
Over the years, Myrtle's name is found in the Society pages of Virginia's newspapers, attending dances, visiting other well-to-do people, attending in weddings, etc.
The Times Dispatch [Richmond, VA] 5 Dec. 1907
Late in December 1907 her engagement to Andrew Clark Williams of Greensboro was announced, with the wedding to follow in January. The ceremony was held at her uncle's house and described in some detail in the article "Fair Danville Girl Weds Carolina Man." After the honeymoon in Florida and the Bahamas, Myrtle and Andrew were supposed to live on Summit Avenue in Greensboro.
The Times Dispatch 17 Jan. 1908
(The man in the clipping is not related to the Conrad-Williams wedding.)
In 1910, Myrtle and Andrew were living in Danville in the same residence as her sister Lois and her husband William "Hunt" Wimbush on West Main Street. Andrew was recorded as a "boarder," oddly enough, and employed as a clerk at a railway company.
By the time of the 1920 Census, Myrtle was living with and Hunt at 116 Broad Street in Danville. Divorced from Andrew, she was a stenographer at a doctor's office. When or why the marriage ended, I don't know. While divorce is sadly a fairly common occurrence today, it wasn't that commonplace in the early 1900s.
1924 passport app. photo of Ruffner and Myrtle
If the information on a 1924 passport application was correct, Myrtle married lawyer Ruffner Campbell on Jan. 6, 1921.
In 1930, Myrtle and Ruffner were living at 44 Kimberly Avenue with an infant son Ruffner, Jr., and a "servant" named William Foggie. Their Grove Park district house, built in 1928, was near the Grove Park Inn, a resort that opened in 1913 and has been visited throughout the years by Presidents and many other public figures. F. Scott Fitzgerald spent an interesting two years at the Grove Park Inn beginning in 1935. I wonder if Myrtle ever bumped into Fitzgerald or any of the other prominent Inn patrons, living so close to the resort.
Myrtle was pronounced dead on arrival at St. Joseph's Hospital in Asheville on Dec. 3, 1944 at the age of 53. Her cause of death was an "unknown acute condition" (cardiac) of an "unknown duration." Her body was returned to Danville and buried near her parents, the aunt and uncle who'd raised her, and several of her siblings. (The date of birth on her death certificate is "1891," but this was impossible since her mother died before that year.)
When Ruffner died in 1960, he was buried in Riverside Cemetery in Asheville, not alongside Myrtle in Green Hill.

Nicola Carpenter says:
What an amazing monument and an equally fascinating story behind it. I do wonder what caused Myrtle's death.
Thank you for linking up with Cemetery Sunday
TheDeadBelle says:
It was probably a heart attack (of some sort).
Another sister is buried in a nearby cemetery, but I haven't been able to find her grave yet. I have a photo of that sister from an old newspaper. I wish there had been an image of Myrtle when she was younger in the old papers too.
Great story and pictures. Thank you!
VioletSky says:
Have just had a wander through your older posts (not quite done yet….)
The Society pages have been a great resource, yet I remember reading them when they were still in the newspapers and thinking "what drivel".
There's a paper around here that's mostly full of details similar to the Society pages. I've often thought they were ridiculous, but future generations will probably enjoy finding out these types of details.

On Thursday, October 26, 2017, the Governor's Awards for the Arts in Pennsylvania will be held in Lancaster City. It is a great honor to be chosen to host the awards, and in celebration, the Lancaster arts community has rallied together to put on a week of events. Leading up to the week, we'll be highlighting a handful of amazing individuals that make up the Lancaster arts community. Read on to find out more about local artist, Salina Almanzar.
I saw the announcement at the Fulton. My partner went and he live-streamed it. I was familiar with it and what the Awards were, and what the whole-statewide art program was. Then, at an Artist Mixer I learned ways to get involved and I knew I wanted to do a project of my own. So, I'm doing a series of story collecting days and photo-collecting days in the Southeast, in my old neighborhood. My partner is going to photograph folks who live there and I'm going to ask them what does it mean to live in the Southeast and how has your culture influenced Lancaster. Then, all that content will eventually be made into a mural that will be placed on CAP's building, the Community Action Partnership. We're going to paint the corner that's on South Queen and Chesapeake.
I'm on the public art advisory board as well. Natalie Lascek, who is also on the board, and I are doing a public art tour. We're asking everyone to dress in red so that becomes an element of public art.
I took all the art classes I could in high school and then I was pre-med when I started F&M. But, I realized that I only like anatomy and not dead people and germs. So, I dropped that and I knew I was going to major in English. I took an art class because I thought I should go back to what I know and what I'm good at. When I realized, I could double major I decided to major in both English Literature and Studio Art.
Because it was Franklin & Marshall there were ways to make both majors play off each other. I took some theory classes that helped me think about how I wrote and my artwork, and how I was making art and that also influenced how I wrote. That was a lot of fun.
Besides the mural as part of the Governor's Awards at CAP, I just finished a community art piece for the Fulton Theatre. We're still working on how we're going to do the signage for it. That's on King Street.
A lot of the art work I do now focuses on what it means to be a Latina and what it means to be Puerto Rican or a multicultural Latina from the United States. I use data that I find or books that I find or even comic books, so anything that I'm reading and writing about will eventually become a part of my art.
I consider myself a DIY artist and a DIY activist. It's all about identity and social justice and how arts can be the nice little package that it comes.
I was born in the Bronx and raised in Lancaster. I moved to Lancaster when I was ten or eleven in 2001 after 9/11. It hit close to home. I had come to Lancaster every summer to see family, so it wasn't too big of a transition.
I love that it's a bite-sized city. I like that the connections that you make last for a longtime. I live a few blocks from F&M, so that has been my backyard for a while. I like that everything feels so close and accessible. I think that's very important especially as an artist that wants to work in community. I don't want to enter space where I don't know anyone and I plop my art down that doesn't do or say anything. I need to make sure I'm building connections. If I'm making a public art piece, I should know the community it's going into and humanize them.
As the art scene continues to grow in Lancaster what do you think lies ahead?
I think this is a big moment with the Governor's Awards for the Arts. This is a moment where we can move from art as simply an aesthetic to art as a means of creating change. I'm so glad that Pepon Osorio is coming. He's one of my favorite artists. So much of his what he does is sharing other people's narratives – using his artwork to elevate their voice. A lot of the art on Gallery Row is good, but it's not necessarily deep or doing work beyond looking nice, which is certainly a function of art and that's fine. But, I'm excited to see, at least with our public art, how we push a little further. If Lancaster as a community is already this good in terms of art, it might be easy to push one step further.
Are you apart of any local groups or organizations?
I've been working with CAP a lot lately. I just helped organize a community clean up. It's a grass roots, knocking on people's doors and finding what they need event. That's really important to me.
I'm on the community engagement committee for the Fulton Theatre, and the Public Art Advisory Board. I'm also running for School Board for the School District of Lancaster, and I'm working with Zoetropolis to organize a panel for the Dolores Huerta documentary. I do a lot of projects and collaborative work.
I would like to see it intersect more. The most recent public art project I'm super in love with is Béatrice Coron's "Moving in the Right Direction," the gate that's right in front of King Elementary right where the community pool is. The way that they organized that project to me is the example of what community and art should be. She visited art classes and asked the students what they wanted and got their input. The kids drew pictures and she took some of the elements from them into the piece. On one of the gates is a quote from Martin Luther King Jr. and on the other side is the quote in Spanish because she understood that if most of these kids are English as a second language learners then it would signal that they belong. I think that's an example of us doing it right. I hope to see more of that. Being on the Board I feel like I can push that and people are very receptive.
I like to play Minecraft. That's my wind down activity. I also have gotten into comic books recently, mainly one's with women of color in them, which Marvel has been doing a great job with. Usually if I'm stuck, I just pick up a camera. I blog as well, I have two blogs. I like to stay busy.


From the days of the first Christians to today's believers, this question has fascinated millions through the centuries.
And rightly so, the Antichrist is an intriguing figure.
Some say he doesn't exist, that there's no scriptural evidence. While others describe him as the human incarnation of Satan.
So who is the Antichrist? Is he a real figure? Is he alive today? And if so, how will the world recognize him?
Fortunately, the Bible provides us with answers to all these questions and more.
While some people claim the Bible never refers to an individual as the "Antichrist," but rather the existence of "a spirit of Antichrist," a complete picture of this infamous man emerges from a thorough reading of the scriptures.
As the above verses and many others attest, the Antichrist is a very real person.
This final act of rebellion will be the Antichrist's ultimate undoing.
Any attempt to answer the question, "Who is the Antichrist?" requires an in-depth examination of the man's characteristics as outlined in the bible. By studying these characteristics, those who are alive on earth during the end times will be able to recognize the Antichrist.
The armies that destroyed the city and the Temple in A.D. 70 were Roman armies. This means the Antichrist will arise from among the Roman and/or Italian people.
Whether or not he's of Italian ethnicity is a subject of ongoing debate. But regardless, the bible is clear. The Antichrist will come from among the people who destroyed the Temple.
To understand who the Antichrist is, we need to understand that he's a man of unrivaled arrogance and inflated self-worth, who believes himself to be greater than anyone else who has ever lived.
He's also an idolater who worships "a god of fortresses," which in all likelihood represents his enormous military power.
So now that we know who the Antichrist is, can we identify him today?
Since that event (the abomination of desolation) has yet to happen, we can say with confidence that the man of lawlessness has not yet been revealed, and we can not identify the Antichrist today.
Nevertheless, that's never stopped people from speculating about the Antichrist's identity.
Most of these people can be definitely be ruled out as the Antichrist since they lived long ago and have since died. The remaining candidates are all but certain to prove undeserving of the ominous title given Paul's statement in regard to when the man of lawlessness will be revealed.
However, this list does serve a valuable purpose. It vividly illustrates the pitfalls associated with singling someone out as the Antichrist before the appointed time.
When studying the biblical prophecies of the Antichrist, many inevitably ask the question, "Is the Antichrist alive today?"
The best answer is, "we don't know for sure."
However, given the lateness of the hour, it's highly probable the Antichrist is alive today.
This can not happen until the Jewish Temple is rebuilt in Jerusalem, and in all probability, this will happen soon.
Less than a century ago, Israel did not exist.
Then, one day in 1948, Israel became a nation.
Less than twenty years later, Israel regained control over Jerusalem.
In due time, Israel will rebuild the Temple in that same City.
How can I be so sure? Because God's Word demands it.
And since Jesus stated that the generation which witnesses these things will not pass before His Glorious Appearing, in all likelihood, the Antichrist is alive today.
Why bother asking "who is the Antichrist?"
One reason is because the appearance of the Antichrist precedes the Glorious Appearing of Jesus Christ and the establishment of God's Millennial Kingdom. And the rapture precedes all of these events.
Being watchful in regard to these events lends an element of urgency to God's Word.
While a Christian's primary focus should always be Jesus Christ, the study of the Antichrist and end times bible prophecy in general serves a valuable purpose. Those who believe Christ can come for His church at any moment remain alert and prepared, prompting them to holy living on a daily basis.
So who is the Antichrist?
The Antichrist is a man of unrivaled arrogance who will ascend to the pinnacle of wordly power in the end times. He will boast of his greatness, place himself above God, and persecute God's people.
Ultimately, it's nowhere near as important to ask "Who is the Antichrist?" as it is to ask "Who is Jesus Christ?"
Because it doesn't do any good to know the answer to the former if you don't know the answer to the latter. If you want to avoid sharing in the Antichrist's eternal punishment, make sure you develop and cultivate your relationship with the Lord of lords, Jesus Christ.

Cardinals Burke and Zen to address confusion in the Church this week

ROME, April 3, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — Cardinal Raymond Burke, Bishop Athanasius Schneider, and Cardinal Joseph Zen are among the key speakers at a conference in Rome this Saturday, April 7, aimed at resolving the great confusion in the Church today.
The conference will be themed "Catholic Church: Where are you heading?," and is being organized by an Italian association called "The Friends of Cardinal Caffarra."
Its subtitle, "Only a blind man can deny that there is great confusion in the Church," is taken from comments Cardinal Caffarra made in an interview with the Italian newspaper Il Foglio in January 2017.
A list of speakers and full program for the event were released today.
The meeting will open with prayer at 2:30 p.m. in the chapel of 'The Church Village' conference center in Rome.
German Cardinal Walter Brandmüller will open the conference at 3:00 p.m. with a presentation on Blessed John Henry Newman's 1859 essay 'On Consulting the Faithful in Matters of Doctrine.'
Cardinal Raymond Burke will then deliver an address on 'The limits of papal authority in the doctrine of the Church.' Bishop Athanasius Schneider, one of three Kazakh bishops to issue a Profession of the immutable truths about sacramental marriage in January, will discuss 'The Apostolic See of Rome as the cathedra veritatis [seat of truth].'
Cardinal Joseph Zen, bishop emeritus of Hong Kong, will also deliver a video-message on 'The Church today in China.'
Lay scholars will also give presentations at the conference. Valerio Gigliotti, a professor of history and of medieval and modern law at the University of Turin, will discuss the limits of the plenitudo potestatis [fullness of power] of the Pope in the history of law and of the Church.
Former president of the Italian Senate, Marcello Pera, who co-wrote the famous 2005 book Without Roots —The West, Relativism, Christianity, Islam with then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, will also address conference participants. In a fiery interview last July, the atheist philosopher sharply criticized Pope Francis' teaching, saying it is "not the Gospel, only politics," and that Francis is "little or not at all interested in Christianity as doctrine, in its theological aspect."
Professor Renzo Puccetti, a physician and professor of bioethics at the John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family in Rome, will present the evolution of bioethics taught at the institute, from the time when Cardinal Caffarra was the president, to its current leadership under Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia.
A short video-interview on Humanae Vitae with Cardinal Carlo Caffarra will also be featured during the April 7 event. The former archbishop of Bologna, one of the signatories of the dubia — five questions sent to Pope Francis in 2016 aimed at helping to resolve the prevailing confusion, died last September. He served as the president of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and the Family from its founding in 1981 until 1995.
Shortly before his death, Cardinal Caffarra confirmed that Sr. Lucia's prophetic words to him — that "the decisive battle" between the Lord and Satan would be over marriage and the family — "is being fulfilled today."
The conference was one of the Cardinal's last wishes after he had become deeply disillusioned by the crisis of confusion in the Church, most notably regarding the issue of allowing Catholics engaging in sexual relations outside marriage, such as civilly remarried Catholic divorcees and cohabiting couples, to receive the Holy Eucharist.
It will conclude with a declaration (profession of faith) on several points of doctrine and morality that are most controversial today.
No registration needed. Entrance is free of charge. Participants will be admitted as long as seats last.
The conference will be in Italian; no live English translations will be available.
'The Church Village' conference center is located on Via di Torre Rossa 94, 00165 Roma.

Supreme Court to Hear Healthcare Reform Arguments March 26-28
Staff - Tuesday, December 20th, 2011 Print	| Email
The Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments regarding the legality of President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law March 26-28, 2012, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
On Mon., March 26, the Court will consider if the case is even eligible to be heard. A federal appeals court in Virginia previously ruled that the mandate could not be challenged legally until an individual was first penalized for noncompliance. However, both the Obama Administration, which appealed the case to the Supreme Court, and the 26 states and independent small business group that brought the original challenge in question argue the Court can hear the case.
If the case moves forward, the high court will hear arguments over the legality of the coverage mandate on Tues., March 27. On March 28, arguments over which portions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act can survive if the mandate is struck down will take place.
