Hear the Album Inspired by the Incredible Life of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
By Lisa Flynn | July 5, 2018
The Notorious RBG in Song, released on Cedille records, features album art by Tom Bachtell, known for his illustrations for The New Yorker
With the Supreme Court very much in the news these days, a Chicago label has released a musical tribute illuminating the personal and professional life of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who is marking 25 years on the high court. The album's title playfully recognizes how Ginsburg has become a surprising pop-culture icon, who is known to her fans as "Notorious R.B.G" – a nod to the late rap artist and fellow Brooklynite the Notorious B.I.G.
The album features works by five contemporary American composers celebrating Justice Ginsburg's family and professional life. The centerpiece is a song cycle, The Long View, which reveals key aspects of her personal life and career through letters, remembrances, conversations, and even court opinions. The composer is Patrice Michaels, whose extensive research into Ginsburg's life was aided by her unique relationship to the subject: she's married to Justice Ginsburg's son, James, founder and president of Chicago's Cedille Records and the album's producer. I spoke with Patrice Michaels and James Ginsburg about how this very personal project came together.
JG: It actually goes back to my mother's 80th birthday. As a present, my sister and I decided to commission songs from three different women composers: Stacy Garrop, Vivian Fung, and my wife, Patrice Michaels. The song that Patrice originally set as just a single work ended up being the genesis for the whole cycle. Once having written one song about Mom, she got the idea of looking at her life from all different angles. That's when this project really took root.
Patrice, the texts you're using in the cycle are incredibly diverse, from glimpses into Justice Ginsburg's personal life to actual excerpts from opinions that she has written in the Supreme Court. So how does the music change as you're going from text to text?
PM: Because the concept of a portrait is two-sided, it's both a portrait of Justice Ginsburg, beginning from some of her earlier adult years, and a portrait of the people who are describing her from their own perspectives. The music has to be personally created for each voice. When her husband is speaking, describing the one case that they argued together, the music is really quite different than when her mother is writing her a letter when she's in her last year of high school at summer camp.
What is the narrative or structure of the piece from beginning to end?
PM: The cycle is organized from the two ends in. So it's formed by columns that start with a letter written during the Second World War by Justice William Douglas, who is looking for more qualified students of the law to serve as clerks. Most of the men are off to war, so he's beginning to entertain the idea that women could serve as clerks. He's asking one of his trusted academic colleagues whether he has any qualified women, and I thought that was a wonderful question to begin the whole process of explaining the character of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. At the end of the cycle, there are two questions that are asked of her. One - what qualities does she think a president should look for in a Supreme Court justice, which she answers both very directly and very personally. Then the second half of the question is about polarization, which is a word that has been on my lips for several years. The way it's answered at the end of the song cycle is in a purely musical mode with no words at all, describing Justice Ginsburg's fantasy career as a grand operatic diva.
Running through the cycle are the struggles that she has faced as a woman in the legal world and the fact that she has been at the forefront of equal rights for women. Obviously you felt it was important to express that in various ways.
PM: The miracle of R.B.G is really how her whole life explains what women have been striving for and what can be achieved, in the past century and up through the present. Each of these very personal events somehow illuminates the struggle of feminism and equality.
I would like to focus on one song in the cycle that is particularly moving. It's an imagined letter from Celia, Justice Ginsburg's mother, whom she cites as the most in influential woman in her life.
PM: It was the scariest part of this whole process, to imagine that I could be so bold as to write in the voice of her mother. So I went about it quite carefully, first securing Justice Ginsburg's permission to interview relatives and reading as much as I could about the area where she grew up. Her biographers really helped me with context, and I came up with a day in the summer before her mother passed away. I actually researched the weather that day and what had been happening in the neighborhood and tried to imagine what she would write to her child who had been going to the same summer camp for years. But this year she had been elected camp rabbi and she was practicing a little Mozart piece. Celia knew by this time how desperately ill she was with cancer and imagined that she would not survive long after this letter was written. So the very matter-of-fact, direct kind of things a mom might put in a letter to her daughter are interspersed with Celia's own thoughts about her past and about Ruth's future.
Jim, another touching and powerful song on the album is one that was written by Chicago composer Stacy Garrop. It's based on a farewell note that your father, Martin, wrote shortly before his death in 2010.
JG: My mother and I were in my father's hospital room in Johns Hopkins and he was expressing his desire to go home. So I was gathering up all the things and came across a yellow legal pad on which my father had hand-written a letter. He never got a chance beyond writing this letter to tell us where he came out but it was quite obvious. Because the one word he was repeating when we were in the hospital room was "home." You can imagine I thought this should be immortalized, and there is no composer more adept for this kind of pathos than Stacy Garrop.
Your mother has a passion for opera, which she shared with the late Justice Antonin Scalia. Despite their professional differences, they became close friends. That connection inspired Derrick Wang's "Scalia/Ginsburg," an opera about the power of friendship in a divided world. You've included an aria from the opera as the final selection on the album.
JG: The celebration of friendship is a theme throughout the opera and it really comes home in the final duet – "We are different, we are one." The selection here is my mother's entrance aria which is quite a tour de force. The opera starts out with Scalia doing a Handelian rage aria about how the justices are misinterpreting the Constitution.
PM: And RBG comes in and retorts: "Our founders, of course, were great men with a vision, but their culture restricted how far they could go. So, to us, I believe, they bequeath the decision to allow certain meanings to flourish and grow." And her whole premise in this very long and hilarious aria that starts with a "Carmen" excerpt and goes off into a little jazz waltz and into gospel blues with incredible high notes is the concept of flexible law, exactly the opposite of her friend.

Miss Zombie è un film del 2013 diretto da SABU.

Trama
In un Giappone futuro, gli zombie vengono catturati e venduti a famiglie ricche per servirle come schiavi-maggiordomi attraverso un'organizzazione che si occupa di questo. Gli scienziati hanno finalmente capito come eliminare la loro fame e la loro ferocia: non dandogli più carne e solo frutto e verdura. I non morti hanno inoltre dei livelli e più è basso il livello più sono umani. Una giovane donna zombie (Miss Zombie) viene data a una famiglia ricca formata dal Dr. Teramoto, sua moglie Shizuko e suo figlio Kenechi. La non umana sembra non aver perso la ragione per via del suo livello di virus basso e ricorda ancora il momento in cui perse suo figlio quando era ancora in grembo.  La donna, diventa l'animale domestico della famiglia, facendo qualsiasi cosa ordinano. La sera, dopo aver ricevuta la sua "cena" marcia nelle strade della città, presa in giro da tutti, per poter tornare alla sua piccola abitazione per consumare il suo cibo, tra cui, trova anche un fiore bianco donatole da Shizuko.

I giorni passano, e Miss Zombie conserva tutti i fiori che le vengono regalate dalla donna di casa come conserva anche le armi con cui viene attaccata dai cittadini della città. Quando viene violentata da dei tipi loschi che lavorano nei pressi della casa di Teramoto, quest'ultimo vede tutto rimanendo sconvolto. Kenechi muore in un incidente su un lago e Shizuko, per non perdere il figlio, fa in modo che la zombie lo morda per farlo diventare a sua volta un non morto. Il bambino si risveglia, ma invece di abbracciare la madre naturale, stringe tra le braccia la non morta, riconoscendola come unico genitore. Per questo, la donna di casa incomincia ad odiare la zombie, e il suo odio aumenta quando viene a sapere che anche Teramoto si è follemente innamorata di lei. Inoltre, Miss Zombie sembra aver ritrovata la sua agilità e per questo si vendica di tutti coloro che l'avevano maltratta fino a quel momento e col loro sangue prepara i biberon per sfamare Kenechi.

Shizuko, stanca di Miss Zombie decide di ucciderla sparandola con la pistola, ma colpisce accidentalmente il Teramoto, uccidendolo. La non morta, sentendo lo sparo, fugge lontano e porta Kenechi con sé. La donna li insegue, uccidendo chiunque le capiti a tiro, compreso gli stupratori della non morta. La Shizuko riesce a raggiungere i due, ma vede il modo in cui Kenechi si è affezionato a Miss Zombie e prima, dà inizio a un pianto disperato per poi suicidarsi per l'abbandono del figlio. Kenechi, vedendo il suicidio della madre torna indietro, e la non morta decide di trasformare anche lei in uno zombie. Madre e figlio possono finalmente abbracciarsi, mentre Miss Zombie si punta una pistola alla testa e si suicida, stanca dell'oppressione di quel mondo.

'Ambulance drone' prototype unveiled in Holland
Posted: October 29, 2014 in Future of Drones, Positive Drone Uses
The Hague (AFP) – A Dutch-based student on Tuesday unveiled a prototype of an "ambulance drone", a flying defibrillator able to reach heart attack victims within precious life-saving minutes.
Developed by Belgian engineering graduate Alec Momont, it can fly at speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour (60 miles per hour).
"Around 800,000 people suffer a cardiac arrest in the European Union every year and only 8.0 percent survive," Momont, 23, said at the TU Delft University.
"The main reason for this is the relatively long response time of emergency services of around 10 minutes, while brain death and fatalities occur with four to six minutes," he said in a statement.
"The ambulance drone can get a defibrillator to a patient within a 12 square kilometre (4.6 square miles) zone within a minute, reducing the chance of survival from 8 percent to 80 percent."
Painted in emergency services yellow and driven by six propellers, the drone can carry a four kilogramme load — in this case a defibrillator.

It tracks emergency mobile calls and uses the GPS to navigate.
Once at the scene, an operator, like a paramedic, can watch, talk and instruct those helping the victim by using an on-board camera connected to a control room via a livestream webcam.
The prototype has already attracted the interest of emergency services including that of Amsterdam, the Dutch daily Algemeen Dagblad said.
The Dutch Heart Foundation also applauded the idea, the newspaper added.
Momont however wants his drone to become a "flying medical toolbox" able to carry an oxygen mask to a person trapped in a fire or an insulin injection to a diabetes sufferer.
However, the drone is still in its infancy as far as developing its steering mechanism and legal issues regarding its use are concerned, Momont said.
He said he hopes to have an operational emergency drone network across the Netherlands in five years.
The drone is expected to cost around 15,000 euros ($19,000) each.
"I hope it will save hundreds of lives in the next five years," Momont said.

Over on Reddit this week a link has been posted revealing a couple of new Gameboy Advance consoles that will be available very soon, that are finished in both SNES and Super Famicom themed cases.
The new Gameboy Advance consoles are being hand built by Rose Colored Gaming and will be a limited edition run that is currently being assembled.
Each Gameboy console is fitted with a hand-made glass lenses which have been created just for these consoles. But unfortunately no information on pricing or worldwide availability has been released as yet. Rose Colored Gaming explains a little more about the new Gameboy Advance consoles features.
As soon as information comes to light on pricing we will keep you updated as always, but do expect them to be higher priced that the already available version that retails for $165. For more information on the Gameboy Advance, jump over to the Rose Colored Gaming website.

Multiple comparisons after Kruskal Wallis using the FDR approach. How to compute P values (Dunn or Mann-Whitney)?
I want to allow users of GraphPad Prism to use the False Discovery Rate (FDR) approach to multiple comparisons after nonparametric one-way ANOVA (Kruskal-Wallis). The idea is first to compute an exact (not corrected for multiple comparisons) P value for each comparison, and then to use a standard FDR algorithm to decide which of those P values are small enough for the associated comparison to be designated a "discovery".
How to compute the P value for each comparison?
Use the Mann-Whitney test.
Use the Dunn's test, usually used for multiple comparisons, adapted to give an uncorrected P value for each comparison.
Dunn's method uses the rankings from all the groups (and the sample size from all the groups) even when just comparing two groups. Does this add power over doing the Mann-Whitney test for each pair?
In another CV case, Alexis posted "Dunn's test preserves a pooled variance for the tests implied by the Kruskal-Wallis null hypothesis.". But I don't understand how pooled variance is a concern with nonparametric tests.

$\begingroup$ What do you mean saying exact (not corrected for multiple comparisons). Was that you computed exact (permutation test) p-values? Or are you about usual asymptotic method p-values? $\endgroup$ – ttnphns Jul 24 '15 at 19:02
$\begingroup$ It is not correct to do just MW test (with correction) because, as you let drop it, the test will be base on ranks from only those two groups currently compared. The correct approach is to use ranks obtained in the omnibus, Kruskal-Wallis test. $\endgroup$ – ttnphns Jul 24 '15 at 19:05
$\begingroup$ This link (how SPSS does it) propably answers your question. And it mentions Dunn's method. $\endgroup$ – ttnphns Jul 24 '15 at 19:09
$\begingroup$ Harvey, by definition, post-hoc multiple comparison tests are tied with the omnibus test performed before them. If the latter is significant then the researcher may ask which groups differ significantly (and thus are the reason why the omnibus was significant). To perform such pairwise tests the researcher not only needs the correction for multiple testing, he as well has to guarantee that the tests' hypotheses are nested within that omnibus test's one, and that they imply each other. Therefore ranks in them should be those ranks that appeared on the omnibus test. $\endgroup$ – ttnphns Jul 27 '15 at 16:10
$\begingroup$ I want to create a stack of P values, one per comparison, and then use one of the False Discovery Rate methods to decide which are small enough to be tagged as a "discovery". I don't see why the omnibus (Kruskal Wallis) test result is relevant, or why it matters that the individual tests are "nested" in the overall test. I don't see what's wrong with creating the list of P values by doing a bunch of individual Mann-Whitney tests. But I am not sure so am looking for a compelling explanation or proof. $\endgroup$ – Harvey Motulsky Jul 28 '15 at 0:33
From what I understood of the OP question:
1) He ran a omnibus Kruskal-Wallis with significant results
2) He want to run a pairwise test on all groups and he is in doubt whether to use Mann-Whitney or Dunn's test
3) He want to run his own multiple comparison adjustment procedure, so he needs the uncorrected p-values of each pairwise comparions.
The source of confusion is that Dunn test implemented in GraphPad seems to already include a multiple comparison adjustment (which looks like a Bonferroni adjustment - see http://www.graphpad.com/guides/prism/6/statistics/index.htm?stat_nonparametric_multiple_compari.htm).
Answering:
2) You should use Dunn test. Both the CV answer by @Alexis for Post-hoc tests after Kruskal-Wallis: Dunn's test or Bonferroni corrected Mann-Whitney tests? and this site from XLSAT http://www.xlstat.com/en/products-solutions/feature/kruskal-wallis-test.html agree that Dunn (or Conover-Iman or Steel-Dwass-Critchlow-Fligner ) are the appropriate post-hoc tests after a KW (disclosure - I did not know that until today - have been using Mann-Whitney as post-hoc to KW until today).
3) I did not understand the GaphPad page, but let me point you to the dunn.test package in R does what the OP want. In particular it distinguishes the Dunn test and multiple comparison adjustments, and one can set the adjustment method to "none", which will return the unadjusted p-values. Also notice that among the adjustment procedures there are the Benjamini-Hochberg (95) and the Benjamini-Yekutieli (2001) adjustments that are FDR (maybe one of them is the one the OP is thinking in using).
Let me stress of many of the commentators have been saying - there is no good reason to use the unadjusted p-values EXCEPT to implement your own adjustment procedure - no decision should be made based on the unadjusted p-values.
Jacques WainerJacques Wainer
$\begingroup$ Thanks. I know how to get uncorrected P values from the Dunn's test. That isn't a problem. The question is whether to use those, or use individual P values from Mann-Whitney tests. Your XLSTAT reference also mentions the Dwass and Steel method which in fact begins with individual Mann-Whitney tests (they refer to it as Wilcoxon, but same test). So the question remains: What are the pros and cons of unadjusted Dunn P values vs. individual Mann-Whitney P values (when used as input to a false discovery method of dealing with multiple comparisons)?? $\endgroup$ – Harvey Motulsky Jul 31 '15 at 16:56
$\begingroup$ Thanks for pointing out that the R package does the Dunn test and then offers to use one of two FDR correction methods. I hadn't seen that and it gives me some confidence that we should do the same (actually we have done it, but I was having doubts). But I'd still like a clear explanation of what's wrong with using P values from individual MW tests... $\endgroup$ – Harvey Motulsky Jul 31 '15 at 17:44

Harrison Ford Offers Words of Support to His "Dear Friend" Carrie Fisher
Harrison Ford Quotes About Carrie Fisher's Heart Attack 2016
December 25, 2016 by Britt Stephens
Harrison Ford is offering support to his fellow Star Wars star, Carrie Fisher, after she suffered a heart attack while on a plane. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter on Saturday, the actor said, "I'm shocked and saddened to hear the news about my dear friend," adding, "Our thoughts are with Carrie, her family and friends." Carrie was hospitalized after the medical emergency on Friday. The actress's brother, Todd Fisher, later told AP that she was receiving treatment in an intensive care unit and "receiving excellent care," but Todd did not classify her current condition or what caused the heart attack.
Both Carrie and Harrison reprised their iconic roles as Princess Leia and Han Solo for Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens in 2015. Most recently, Carrie shocked fans of the franchise when it was revealed in her book, The Princess Diarist, that she and Harrison had an affair while shooting the first Star Wars film back in the late '70s. "It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend," she said of the fling.

Jenny Levine is an American librarian and digital strategist who has been a longtime evangelist for the adoption of emerging Internet technologies by public libraries, in particular blogging and RSS. Since 2006, she has been a member of the RSS Advisory Board, a group that publishes the RSS specification and helps developers with web syndication. For over a decade, she has used her Shifted Librarian blog to encourage librarians to start blogs so they can "create an authentic voice for what has traditionally been a faceless, inhuman institution." One of the first librarians to publish a web site, which she began doing in 1995, her blog became so popular that she was once the top search result on Google for the term "Jenny."

Levine works as an internet strategist for the American Library Association (ALA) and has been with the association since 2006. She spearheaded the creation of the ALA's Games and Gaming Round Table, a committee devoted to exploring how computer games and game design can be incorporated into libraries.

Before working for the ALA, she was the internet development specialist and strategist for the Chicago Suburban Library System, now part of the Reaching Across Illinois Library System. She was hired as the technology coordinator for Grande Prairie Public Library District in 1996. In 2003, she was named one of the library industry's "Movers and Shakers" of the year by Library Journal. The publication called her an "information technology evangelist" and observed, "Whenever she sees new gadgets -- Bluetooth-equipped pens, or digital wi-fi cameras, or software that shows you how a web page displays on different kinds of platforms -- Levine immediately sees ways librarians can use them. ... She's made people outside our profession realize that librarians are cool."

After graduating with a Master of Library and Information Science in 1992 from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and taking a job as a reference librarian, Levine fell into her role as an Internet evangelist by chance. She said in an interview, "One day a patron asked for a recipe for Irish Soda Bread, and I couldn't find it in our collection. So I decided to try the CompuServe account I had just found out we had (that no one ever used) to fill the patron's need. Sure enough, there was a recipe I was able to print out for her. She was happy, and I was hooked."

"Shifted Librarian" concept

On the Shifted Librarian blog she has published since January 2002, Levine has developed the idea that a "shifted librarian" model must be adopted in libraries to respond to how young people receive information.

She explained, "To my mind, the biggest difference is that they expect information to come to them, whether it's via the Web, email, cell phone, online chat, whatever. And given the tip of the iceberg of technology we're seeing, it's going to have a big impact on how they expect to receive library services, which means librarians have to start adjusting now. I call that adjustment 'shifting' because I think you have to start meeting these kids' information needs in their world, not yours. The library has to become more portable or 'shifted.'"

In her book I Found It On the Internet, the school librarian and author Frances Jacobsen Harris quoted this explanation, calling the model a "much-needed response to fundamental changes in young people's information needs and expectations."

The authors Helene Blowers and Robin Bryan in their book Weaving a Library Web: A Guide to Developing Children's Websites write that Levine has identified "one of the greatest challenges" that libraries face as children born in the information-rich world of the Web come of age. They write, "[I]t is not surprising to learn that children prefer the Internet over any other medium when it comes to receiving information. ... This is clear shift in preference since the heyday of TV."

Levine has published the Shifted Librarian blog since January 2002. Before that, she published the Librarian's Site du Jour website beginning in November 1995 "to convince librarians that the Web was extraordinarily useful for everyday reference."

Personal life

Levine is a resident of Downers Grove, Illinois and spent part of her childhood in Greece, where her father was a Fulbright scholar, and Portugal. She wrote on her Facebook page that she suffered a paralyzed vocal cord in 1990, an ailment that makes her "very demanding about requiring a microphone" during her public speeches and presentations.

Anyone who has ever had gum disease or poor oral health knows that the disorders can lead to pain, tooth loss, and bleeding in the mouth. However, it might take you by to surprise to learn that if your oral health isn't in good shape, the rest of your body might follow suit. Here are three major diseases that are linked to poor oral health.
Scientists have found a link between gum disease and cardiovascular disease. This includes diseases of the heart and the arteries. While it's not absolutely certain that one causes the other, scientists discovered that people with poor gum health are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease than those who have healthy gums.
The leading theory for this link is that the bacteria responsible for gum disease can potentially travel through the bloodstream. Bacteria can irritate and inflame arteries and the heart, which increases the risk for strokes and heart attacks.
Dementia, or other forms of degenerative brain diseases, might also be caused by poor oral health. Like cardiovascular disease, it's believed that the bacteria responsible for unhealthy gums could cause inflammation in the brain. In addition, the plaque that you find on your teeth might actually be able to make its way to the brain. The plaque that's been found to accumulate on the brain in people with Alzheimer's Disease is also the same plaque that gathers on teeth and causes cavities.
Lastly, one of the most recent discoveries is a link between esophageal cancer and gum disease. Once again, bacteria is believed to be the leading culprit behind this disease link. It makes a lot of sense: while the other two diseases in this article rely on bacteria and plaque making the leap to the bloodstream in order to cause disease elsewhere in the body, saliva is constantly flowing from the mouth to the esophagus. If your saliva is teeming with bad bacteria that causes tissue damage, it stands to reason that it harms the esophagus, too.
If you're determined to have a future that's as healthy as possible, it's imperative that you not leave out the health of your mouth. Taking care of your gums and teeth today could help to protect the health of your entire body years from now. If your oral health isn't what it should be, contact a dental office like Little Peoples Dentistry to begin the process of taking better care of your teeth and gums.

I'm a Celeb's new campmate Cliff Parisi admits he signed up for jungle to ease financial woes
The former EastEnders star was extremely honest about why he needed the money so much
I'm a Celeb's new campmate Cliff Parisi has admitted he signed up for the jungle to ease his financial woes.
The former Eastenders star who played Minty, admitted he had initially turned down the offer to go into the jungle, but after receiving a huge tax bill, changed his mind.

Kattkvinna är en bronsskulptur av Inga-Louise Lindgren placerad vid Karlstads universitet.

Statens Konstråd köpte in skulpturen och placerade ut den vid högskolan 1994 i samband med en tillbyggnation. Skulpturen tillverkades redan 1989 och visades upp på olika konstutställningar, vid en utställning yttrade en politiker att han tyckte synd om kattkvinnan han tyckte att hon var ful  och sa att om det hade varit dans så skulle han ha bjudit upp henne. Lindgren svarade att kattkvinnan definitivt inte skulle ha velat dansa med honom. Det här är en kraftfull kvinna som vet vad hon vill, hon försvarar sig.

If I could go anywhere: a world through the eyes of botanical artist Marianne North at Kew Gardens
June 17, 2022 Travel
In this series we pay tribute to the art we wish could visit — and hope to see once travel restrictions are lifted.
Have you ever entered a gallery, cathedral or grand old ballroom and drawn breath with surprise? Usually, it is opulence, vastness or one stunning painting or sculpture that evokes this response — think Michelangelo's David, or Chartres Cathedral or the hall of mirrors at Versailles.
In London, an extraordinary gallery draws gasps because there is none like it anywhere else. It is like entering a giant "globe" covered in paintings of faraway places and plants. You can walk from South America to North America to Asia in a few paces.
All the paintings are by the Victorian-era female botanical artist and explorer Marianne North. The small gallery nestles in a stunning natural setting — Kew Gardens beside the Thames River.
A very intrepid painter
The design of the gallery and the layout of the 800-plus paintings were largely North's idea, assisted by Kew Gardens staff. Though she was a largely self-taught botanical illustrator, she also discovered four specimens that were named in her honour.
I remember my first impression of the peacefulness and softness on entering the gallery, elicited by a timber-panelled gallery covered top-to-bottom with paintings. It is a tightly packed mosaic of artworks.
Then I notice the gold lettering of countries and continents above the panels —America, Australia, Japan, Jamaica — and begin to explore the natural world as it was in Victorian times.
The vibrancy, colour and beauty in each individual painting emerges on closer viewing.
I walk from one continent to another noticing the unique vegetation of each, but also the similarity and diversity of natural forms — when these paintings were being created and collated, Charles Darwin had already written:
[…] endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
The gallery displays this exquisitely, from a grand avenue of Indian rubber trees in Ceylon (Sri Lanka), medicinal plants from the tropics, vivid tangerine flowers on coral trees in Brazil, early coffee plantations in Jamaica, to a tall and majestic monkey puzzle tree in Chile. Australian banksia, bottle tree and bottle-brush are accurately and beautifully depicted.
Within the walls of the gallery, I can even travel back in time to see what Mudgee in NSW looked like in the late 1800s.
Then there are the four specimens named in North's honour. Kniphofia northiae, discovered in South Africa, now grows in many gardens with the common name red hot poker (Painting no. 367). Northia seychellana is also called the capucin tree Painting no. 501). Nepenthes northiana, a large and unusual pitcher plant, was discovered by Marianne in Borneo (Painting no. 561). And crinum northianum , in the lily family (Painting no. 602), comes from Sarawak, Borneo.
When Charles met Marianne
North was one of several Victorian-era British female explorers. She was born (1830) into a wealthy family and had early connections to Kew gardens since her father knew its first director, Sir William Hooker.
Her interest in botanical art grew as an educational activity and as a means of passing on knowledge in pre-photography times. She made nearly 900 works from across the continents and larger islands.
North set out on her first main botanical tours in the 1870s, 40 years after Darwin sailed on HMS Beagle, determined to "paint from nature". Her paintings of vegetation, birds, mammals and terrain, depicted with close accuracy, helped to foster awareness of the evolutionary connections between plants, animals and environment.
North and Darwin were in fact acquainted. In 1880 they met and discussed her paintings and he advised her to see and paint the Australian vegetation "which was unlike that of any other country". North took Darwin's advice, and returned to Down house in 1881 with a new collection spanning Townsville to Perth.
The world through her eyes
North gifted her botanical collection to Kew Gardens along with a gallery to house it. She arranged the paintings and also the decorations surrounding the doors to the gallery. Hence the unique design and global feel of the gallery interior. It opened in 1882.
Some 140 years later, we can explore her adventurous life and travels and view a global nature study in one gallery. With today's technology we can see much of it online, which is handy during lockdown. I wonder what human expansion and global warming have done to those special places? If I could retrace North's steps, what would I see?
After "browsing the continents", you can exit the gallery into Kew Gardens. Among the 50,000 plants at the World Heritage site, you can search for the rare Australian Wollemi Pine, growing quite vigorously in the grounds.
The words of Darwin in 1859's Origin of Species come to mind: "There is grandeur in this view of life".

'Come and hear John Emsley pour cold water over the greenhouse effect,'
said the invitation to a talk at last week's science festival in Southampton.
Put like that, how could Feedback resist?
Here was New Scientist's own eminent chemist and scholar, now writer
in residence at London's Imperial College no less, prepared to put his neck
on the line. It was all part of Imperial's Outreach Programme, which aims
to introduce young people to the wonders of science and technology, and
John himself is certainly a great science populariser.
So it was indeed a thrill to hear the column's friend and colleague
snapping away at his friends and colleagues in the media in true dog eat
dog style. How could the media do it, asked John, all that misinformation
and propaganda about carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels, such
as oil and petrol, being chiefly responsible for global warming?
The hypothesis may have kept many in the science community busy, he
went on, but that isn't a good enough reason to listen to them. Talk about
inciting a guilt complex, John certainly knows how.
Carbon dioxide is not such a problem, he told his young audience and
the sulking hacks at the back. There's a much more important greenhouse
gas; it's the hot air that journalists emit when they don't know what they're
talking about and mangle scientific information.
Feedback was chastened, and grateful to Shell for sponsoring the diatribe.
After all, here's a company with a lot on its hands – pumping oil and manufacturing
petrol – that can still find time to educate the next generation.
Another oil company, BP International, may be disappointed with the
coverage of its four speakers, who were lined up to talk on 'Chemistry in
the Oil Industry'. The lectures were neatly packaged, but on the cover of
each pamphlet it said: 'Presented at the British Association Science Festival
'92, Southampton, 25th September 1992.' Naturally, the press will respect
the embargo.
The BA is a chance to catch up with the very latest advances in science.
Stephen Swithenby of the Open University told us about a hyper-sensitive
magnetic detector, capable of picking up the faintest of magnetic fields,
such as those produced in the body by the heart beating or by brainwaves.
During one demonstration Swithenby picked up a beautiful sinusoidal
signal, but it wasn't coming from his subject. Finally, after a five-minute
search, he found a man in the front row swinging his foot. The signal was
coming from his metal toecap.
One of the more glamorous events of the week began at Southampton's
Arena and continued as the participants glided gracefully across the waters
of The Solent. The venue was a 60-foot (20-metre) yacht, which is due to
embark later this month on a round-the-world race. The vessel is identical
to its nine competitors and the race, organised by British Steel, aims
to test the skill of crews rather than yacht designers. Our boat bears the
name 'Nuclear Electric' after its sponsor. 'Where are the fuel rods?' asked
one of the nautically minded journalists.
The notion of large quantities of radioactive substances aboard yachts
is not so funny as it may sound, chimed in our host Ian Fells, the genial
professor of energy conversion at the University of Newcastle. Time was
when the heavy weight of depleted uranium made it a fashionable material
for making keels. But the practice fell abruptly from favour after a bright
spark with a knowledge of chemistry pointed out that uranium is soluble
in sea water.
Prize for the joke of the week goes to Gordon Higginson of the University
of Southampton. During a talk on bio-materials he flashed up a picture of
two skaters to indicate 'bits' that might be replaced with artificial implants.
Referring to the fact that the male had his arm around his female partner,
he conjectured that he might well have been saying: 'What's a joint like
this doing in a nice girl like you?'
Frankness was a much-displayed virtue at this year's BA. Among the soundbites
of the week were:
'First I must apologise for the ridiculously pretentious title of my
'Economists can contribute little to the discussion of this year's theme
of oceans.'
'In many ways, it must be admitted, the 16th century is a mess.'
Of course, the point of the BA is to contribute to the greater public
understanding of science, to render the issues of the moment intelligible
in saloon bars throughout the land. It doesn't always work: 'Mesoscopic
systems, I will define, as physical regions within which carriers do not
suffer any quantum mechanical phase destroying collisions, bounded by regions
which can be described 'classically' and contacted by charge reservoirs
which act as a source and sink of carriers of energy.'
Feedback was left puzzling all the way to The Hedgehog, the pub around
the corner, which provided columnar staff with a welcome respite from the
rigours of the conference and occasional refreshment.
Not that the BA has changed that much. Here is how Punch recorded what
it called the 'labours' of one of the first ever annual meeting of the BA,
held in Plymouth in August 1851:
A day on the water, by way of excursion, A night at the playhouse, by
way of diversion, A morning assemblage of elegant ladies, A chemical lecture
on lemon and kalis, A magnificent dinner – the venison so tender,
Lots of wine, broken glasses – that's all I remember.
Many thanks for the flood of entries you have sent in for the Feedback
summer competition. What an innovative lot you are! We have greatly enjoyed
reading all your ideas for inventions that haven't been invented yet, and
must now apply ourselves to the difficult task of judging them. The winning
entries will be published in our issue of 19 September.

Q: How can we take list as an argument in functions? Write a function to take two lists of different size as arguments and create another list containing elements which are present on both the list. I don't understand the question well, could someone explain it to me...

A: Here list1 and list2 are arguments. We can find unique elements in both list by using the set intersection.
def unique_elements(list1, list2):
    result = list(set(list1).intersection(set(list2)))
    return result

A: Question is quite simple, make a function which takes two list as input. The compare those two list. While comparing you have to find all elements which are present in both the inputted list. And you have to take all those common elements and make another list.
Here is an easy way to achieve that:
def intersection(lst1, lst2):                         //input two list, lst1 and lst2
    lst3 = [value for value in lst1 if value in lst2] //create a new list with values of lst1 which are also in lst2
    return lst3                                       //Return that list

Although this is not entirely correct way, as this return repetitive elements if there are repetitive elements in lst1
To remove repetition we use set.
def intersection(lst1, lst2):                          //input two list, lst1 and lst2
        lst3 = list(set(lst1).intersection(set(lst2))) //create a new list with values of set of lst1 intersecting with values of set of lst2
        return lst3                                    //return the new lst3

It is a property of set to remove the duplicate elements from list while converting them of set.

GSOC chair warns over independence from force
Updated / Sunday, 16 Sep 2018 16:05
GSOC were considering taking the step of carrying out an external review
Editor, This Week
Chairperson of the Garda Ombudsman Judge Mary Ellen Ring has told the Minister for Justice that the Ombudsman's use of serving gardaí to assist them with a major criminal investigation would impact on the Ombudsman's perceived independence from the force.
The warning is made in a copy of a letter obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by RTÉ's This Week.
In the letter, Judge Mary Ellen Ring told Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan earlier this year that the impact of combining garda members with GSOC personnel, as part of the ongoing high-profile criminal investigation into alleged fraud at the Garda College in Templemore, could "cast a shadow over independent oversight of the gardai".
She went on to say that GSOC were considering taking the step of carrying out an external review to confirm that their own probe was carried out independently.
The Templemore investigation is one of the largest undertaken by GSOC - and it arose after a dossier was forwarded to GSOC by the former Garda Commissioner Noirin O'Sullivan in 2017, following prolongued public controversy and sustained questioning by the Dail's Public Accounts Committee.
The judge told the minister that there was "no doubt that issues arise with the public perception" of combining serving gardai and GSOC investigators.
However, she said she had every reason to believe that the serving gardai who were working alongside her own team would act in a professional manner.
GSOC has repeatedly complained that they have insufficient staff to conduct the work required of them under law.
They used a section of the garda Siochana Act 2005 to appoint a number of serving gardai to their investigative team, in a case where they lacked the capacity or special skills required for a particular case. GSOC said it was the first time in their eleven year history they had to use this measure.
Asked if they had any further comment to make on the letter this week, GSOC told RTÉ that they had no doubts about the professionalism of the gardai working with them on this investigation.
However, the statement went on to say that GSOC was hopeful that the Commission on Future of Policing -- which is to to make recommendations on policing in Ireland in the coming week -- will, to quote..."reinforce the importance of independent oversight and the need for such oversight to not need to resort to Garda assistance for investigations".
The statement went on to say that "support therefore is not just solely financial but also greater powers to enable GSOC to do independent investigations".
A spokesman for Minister Charlie Flanagan said the Minister was acutely aware of the importance of GSOC's work but added that he is very conscious that the Commission on the Future of Policing is due to report imminently. They said it was likely the Commission would propose far reaching legislative changes -- relating to these matters.
They also said that GSOC's budget would rise by an extra €400,000 this year and there was plans to increase their manpower.

Thank you to everyone who brought in peanut butter or vegemite for the dogs at the RSPCA in Yagoona. IAS will be taking the collection to the shelter next week. Here's hoping it helps keep some pets happy this Christmas.
A great day out, with 21 Cabarita-Mortlake cubs, scouts, friends and family taking to the sky. Pity about the cross winds for those of us who didn't make it up. Planning a make-up day in the new year.
