Stuck in a Science Framing

An illustration from the Vox article using my photo of Dr Sarno
About a year ago Vox ran an article on all of the science about Back Pain treatments, and it failed to mention Dr Sarno. This was a particularly egregious omission because the article was largely based on a book by Cathryn Ramin called "Crooked: Outwitting the Back Pain Industry and Getting on the Road to Recovery" which had a full chapter on Dr Sarno. The author of the article, Julia Belluz, was inundated with messages about the import of Dr Sarno, including one from myself, so she did a follow up article about him. The article begrudgingly acknowledged that much of what he talked about is slowly being embraced by the medical system but the title on the piece, "America's most famous back pain doctor said pain is in your head. Thousands think he's right", frames him as a charlatan. She also refers to him as a "back pain guru", which further discredits and dismisses him. In the new update addendum she first referred to him as a psychiatrist, despite the fact that he was a rehabilitation physician with 50 years of work at NYU medical center. She quickly corrected it when it was brought to her attention, but this "Freudian slip" reveals some of her thoughts about his standing as a doctor. It's kind of interesting that she might make a Freudian slip given that she dismisses his work for being too rooted in this work.
The article included some references to our film "All The Rage", so I reached out to request that they correct the title because Dr Sarno never would have described the situation in this manner. They refused, arguing that it was "accurate". They felt it was okay to state that he "said" this because they felt like this was what he "meant". Writing about "science" can be tricky business. Technical writing can be boring and somewhat unconvincing. However, defending "science" with inflammatory clickbait headlines is fraught with a whole set of other problems. While I understand the writer's desire to "defend" science, this kind of writing does a disservice to the stated goal of sober exploration of the facts. In doing so, it puts its thumb on the scale in such a way as to cloud the thoughtful observations, arguments, and concerns of people like Dr Sarno.
The link to the original article goes to an updated version of this piece that appeared last week, prompting this new post. After the article about Dr Sarno first appeared last year, I wrote two pieces about the problematic nature of the title – and the article. The first, "How Frames Blind Us" deals directly with how the article frames Dr Sarno as a charlatan without fully examining what he had to say. Instead it paints him with a monochromatic brush that dismisses the complex, multi-system, approach he took in order to gain a greater understanding of what was going on in regards to pain syndromes. A few days later, after reading a series of comments about how ridiculous it was to give any credit to Dr Sarno at all I wrote a second post entitled, "Not Necessary to Negate" which was largely about how increasing specialization in medicine/science leads to islands of "truth" that ignore the ways in which complex systems interact.
The revised back pain article which was republished last week now contains an addendum which acknowledges the omission of Dr Sarno but flatly states that "Back pain researchers and doctors generally still don't find Sarno's theories entirely convincing — particularly his one-size-fits-all diagnosis." Her dismissal of Dr Sarno's approach as one-size-fits all is based on the comments of another doctor who may not have been fully versed in Dr Sarno's work. These paragraphs are from the article on Dr. Sarno.
Back pain researchers and doctors generally didn't find Sarno convincing — and many still don't. Andrea Furlan, a psychiatrist who has published numerous systematic reviews on back pain, says the big problem with Sarno's approach was that it was too "one-size-fits-all." Some people's back pain may be exacerbated by emotional problems or stress, but not everyone's. "I think it is a mistake to generalize [the mind-body model] to all people with back pain," Furlan said.
"Blaming this all on repressed emotions is a pretty narrow view of psychological contributors to pain," Oregon's Chou added. "It ignores a lot of what we understand now about changes that occur centrally in persons with chronic pain." For example, we now have MRI studies showing that people with chronic pain have different areas of their brain light up when they are exposed to painful stimuli.
Science has made it clear that mind body awareness has an effect on all "illness" and all pain. Dr Wayne Jonas, who worked both as a general practitioner and a researcher who did large surveys of blocks of studies to tease out the most relevant data for the VA and the NIH has come to the conclusion that 80% of healing comes from within, and only 20 percent from the "healing agent" provided by the medical community. Unsurprisingly, despite his credentials, and the show of support from colleagues, this groundbreaking work has largely gone unnoticed. What it illuminates is that 80% of healing is connected to emotional factors like belief, ritual, and community support. It is not a one-size-fits all approach. Instead it is multi system approach that encompasses the idea that a great deal of illness is driven by our emotional response to the world. It is in fact a wildly individualized approach because it involves recognizing that everyone is going to have a diverse set of reactions to the world based on their own experiences, biology, and learned responses.
The second paragraph quoted above, which argues that the pain is a neurological condition because scientists can see pain lighting up in different areas of the pain, negates the fact that the areas that light up in chronic pain are the emotional centers of the brain. In other words this pain might also be described as, the kind of pain which our bodies use to protect us via a complex interaction between brains and nerves. Further we might posit that our brains are trying to protect us from emotional threats because the brain can't always differentiate between physical and emotional threats- and in fact often reacts to emotional threats in a physical manner. We see this through sweating, blushing, nausea, and headaches she we get nervous. When this happens in a chronic and unconscious way the symptoms can become much more severe. While Dr Sarno may not have understood the exact mechanisms that were causing the pain he clearly understood the process well enough to help people to heal.
The article continues by painsplaining the problems with Dr Sarno's approach.
"Sarno had no interest in seeing brain MRIs," said Cathryn Jakobson Ramin, author of the book Crooked: Outwitting the Back Pain Industry and Getting on the Road to Recovery. "He was actually very limited in his scope … until his last days, stuck in a Freudian mindset, viewing what was going on with patients as evidence of psychological problems rather than neurological problems."
The mechanism Sarno proposed — about decreased blood flow caused by the brain — was also never supported by science, explained Howard Schubiner, who heads a mind-body medicine program at Providence Hospital in Michigan, which was inspired by Sarno's work. "It made no sense to a lot of scientists and physicians."
But there are some things Sarno got right, Schubiner added. "The science is catching up to Dr. Sarno."
It is true that Dr Sarno wasn't interested in the findings of MRI's unless they showed a tumor or a broken bone. However, as Dr Sarno pointed out, when we look at brain imaging and say that the problem is neurological because we can see it on a scan, it doesn't negate that the reason for the neurological changes isn't emotional. In fact doctors generally ignore that possibility. As Dr Sarno points out below, in the 19th century, before Freud, mental illness was seen as a "disease of the brain", but now it's being called a chemical aberration. He said this before FMRI machines revealed the neurological changes. However, at it's core- it's the same idea- the people who view these changes simply can't visualize that the cause might be emotional. They aren't even considering that question. Dr Schubiner understands this and credits Dr Sarno with putting him on the right path. However, the quotes chosen by the author frame him as downplaying Dr. Sarno's contributions.
A lot of what I have written above is a repetition of things I've written over and over. I was prompted to revisit this piece because when I try to discuss it people tend to throw the baby out with the bathwater rather than engage in thinking about the broader ideas being brought up. In response to this recent article I made a Facebook post about another article in which the author dismisses Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop website in a similar fashion. Here is what I wrote.
The same author who wrote the Vox piece about Dr Sarno that largely dismissed him- (and dismissively added him to her re-pulbisihing of her "science based" article on back pain – referring to him as a psychiatrist)- wrote this take down of Goop. I am not writing this to defend Goop. However one section really jumped out at me. In it she declares,
"To be sure, Goop has tapped into a real longing out there. Traditional medicine has failed people in many cases, and often lacks solutions for the most common health woes — chronic pain, obesity, Alzheimer's. You need not look any further than the raging opioid epidemic to find cases where medicine has also done more harm than good.
But as Tim Caulfield told me, that doesn't make it okay to throw away the scientific paradigm and accept any junk claim that comes along. "The idea that somehow science doesn't have all the answers, science isn't necessarily a morally good force, displays a misunderstanding of what science is. It's not an ideology, not an industry, it's not people. It's a process."
Her writing puts Dr Sarno's closer to junk science than science. This idea that science (as practiced) isn't an ideology, or an industry, totally negates that it does function as an industry (the medical industry/pharma)- which has an outsize influence on process. And that process is influenced by an ideology of science that is only valid if it is practiced in the form of randomized control trials. Due to this limiting ideology that ignores information that can't be understood through randomized control trials- this ideology dismisses any facts that haven't been "proven in this manner". The discussion and this framing, is willfully blind to the influence of financial considerations in regards to what questions get asked. It's kind of mind boggling in the pretense that science is not influenced by ideology or money.
Again, I'm not writing in defense of Goop- I don't really know anything about Goop- what I am responding to is the casual dismissal of questions that haven't been asked by a system that simply hasn't bothered to ask them- or put the resources towards answering them. Framing things the way that Belluz does- she simply can't accept that Dr Sarno's basic idea that the mind and the body are intimately related – and that we can't practice medicine properly without taking this into account. She therefore casually dismisses what he has to say because his manner of looking at the issues doesn't comport with her idea of "science" as an ideology.
Several people engaged in a fruitful discussion about the topic. I woke up this morning though to the following response- which prompted me to sit down at the computer and bang out this post.
Scientists often can dismiss a pseudo-science claim pretty casually because of long experience with such claims:
– The burden of proof is on the claimant. Simple assertions with no studies backing them up are worthless, and usually false.
– Such claims often fly in the face of what science knows about anatomy and diseases etc. Claims that contradict large bodies of evidence usually are false.
– Most such claims fail in common ways: ignoring any discussion of dosage, claiming to cure N unrelated diseases, appealing to emotion or conspiracy theory thinking, claimant is pushing N different miracle cures.
Scientists would love to discover some miracle cure for N major diseases, or some amazing new body system such as chi or energy pathways or something. The scientist who did so would win a Nobel Prize. But these wild, money-driven claims are nonsense.
While these are useful observations, they don't directly address the central problems that I brought up in relation to Dr Sarno. His work wasn't based on "wild, money-driven claims". While he did "appeal to emotion" in the sense that he asked people to look at, examine, and be with their emotions, he did not traffic in conspiracy theories and didn't see his work as a miracle cure- but instead common sense. His "claims" did not fly in the face of what we know about anatomy- but instead relied on his understanding of anatomy to point out that the huge leaps- and claims- people were making about what they saw on MRI's was wrong. Even the Vox article begrudgingly points out that science has proven him correct on this point- and this is not a minor point. If the science shows us that MRI's don't give us useful insight on the causal relationship between soft tissue "abnormalities" then we are talking about 100's of billions of dollars worth or wasted resources and untold amounts of added suffering.
Sarno also intuitively understood that anatomical abnormalities like lumbar disc bulges are not actually the source of pain for many people — and called these injuries "normal abnormalities." Research over the past two decades has piled up to prove him right. For example, when you compare people with the same MRI results showing the same back injury — bulging discs, say, or facet joint arthritis — some may experience terrible chronic pain while others report no pain at all.
As Dr Sarno pointed out, he used close careful observation, rather than relying solely on randomized control trials. What is mind boggling is how easily every other scientist ignored their counterfactual observations; things like the "abnormality" on the MRI not lining up with the area of pain. For decades pain specialists asked no questions about what was going on in people's lives. Now, while they do take a biopsychosocial approach, the focus is still largely on the bio-technical in a way that makes it hard for people like Dr Chou, who is quoted above, to grasp the concept that the neurological change might have to do with a learned emotional response to the world rather than faulty wiring or chemical aberrations.
Sometimes we haven't found a way to prove that something is true because we haven't been even able to grasp the concept well enough to ask the question. As Dr Sarno points out, we used to know this is true but we've forgotten. My friend Christina sent me this article about "The Recovery of the Sacred" when I shared a draft of this post with her. It's a very different perspective that might help people shift their perspective.


Microblogging startup Tumblr, based out of New York, has raised $5 million more from the same investors who'd already bankrolled the company with a little over $5 million over two previous rounds, namely Union Square Ventures and Spark Capital.
The financing round, Tumblr's third, was first reported by MediaMemo and comes at a time when the three-year-old startup is starting to push a bunch of buttons to try and generate revenue from the lightweight blog publishing and management service.
Tumblr recently surpassed the 4 million registered users milestone, and founder David Karp (23) tells MediaMemo that the service is now generating 1 billion page views a month, up from 2 million Tumblr bloggers and 420 million monthly impressions half a year ago.
The growth in users and usage is clearly there, and the startup is now looking at ways to generate some coin with the service. Whether it will succeed in doing that in a sufficient way to justify the +$10 million in venture capital it has raised to date, remains the question.

The South Wold Hunt is a registered foxhound pack based in the village of Belchford, Lincolnshire, England. Its hunt country centres on the Lincolnshire Wolds, and adjoins that of the Blankney, Brocklesby and Burton Hunts.

The Hunt became known as the South Wold in 1822. The first Master of Foxhounds was Hon. George Pelham who took office in 1823 – Pelham was brother to the 1st Earl of Yarborough. Hounds have been kennelled in Belchford since 1857. South Wold became subject to a Hunting Act of Parliament in 2004.

The Hunt's Point-to-Point race is held annually at Revesby Park and its related activities include the Pony club branches of South Wold Hunt North and South.

South Wold Hunt gave its name to a type II hunt class destroyer - HMS Southwold.

This recipe for Bran Loaf calls for cups of ingredients, you can use a mug as long are you are consistent and use the same 'cup' for all measurements. If you would like to make more than one loaf then just multiply the quantities.
Mix the fruit, sugar, bran and milk in a large bowl and leave for six hours (or overnight).
Add the flour and salt to the wet mixture and mix throughly.
Lightly oil the bottom and sides of a 2lb loaf tin and line with greaseproof paper.
Pour the mix into the loaf tin and bake in a medium hot oven for one hour.
Remove, cool, slice, butter, enjoy!
Bran loaf keeps very well for a few days, and dare I say it even improves after a few days.

Q: finding line number of end of a function I am trying to automate some debug by printing inputs and outputs of a function via GDB, when that function hits. To enable setting breakpoints at these places, I am doing the following.
I am working with templates, and rbreak :. does not hit the breakpoints at the functions in my file. So i extract line numbers of functions from the executable as follows.

*

*With the executable, extract the linenumber of start of a function;

nm a.out | grep "className" | grep "functionName" | grep " t " | addr2line -e a.out -f | grep "cpp" | uniq
-> this outputs the filename:linenumber

*add these contents to a .gdb file with a "b prefix"

Query - how can we extract the line number of a end of a function from the executable ?

With this info, I can add it to the GDB script, the final script would
  look something like below. this script would be loaded into GDB before
  the execution of the program.

b filepath:<startline of function>
commands
print input1 input2 etc
continue
end

b filepath:<endline of function>
commands
print output1 output2 etc
continue
end

It remains to find only the end line of a given function belonging to a class/file, given the executable and start line of the function
I also considered using GDBs finish command but the control is back to the caller already.
it would be easy to have the prints within the called function instead of the caller, so that we can monitor input/outputs of every call of the function.
This will simplify my debug to a large extent.
Any suggestion/comments is highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance !!

A: First, notice that template functions are not functions, but actually recipes. When you use a template the compiler generates a function from the template.
If you want to use the break command then you need the full function name. For instance, the template below
template <typename T>
inline T doubleInput(const T& x) {
    return 2 * x;
}

will become the function doubleInput<int> when you pass an int, doubleInput<double> when you pass a double, etc. You need the whole name including the <type> part to add a breakpoint with the break command and even in that case it will only stop in that particular case of the template.
But the rbreak command does work with templates. If you write in gdb rbreak doubleInput* then a breakpoint will be added in all existing specializations of the template.
See the answer in this question.

I don't know if gdb nowadays has the feature to add a breakpoint in the return of a function, but answers in the nine years old question provide some possibilities, including a custom python command to find and add a breakpoint to the retq instructions or using reverse debugging. I haven't tried these options.

I think Ehrenreich was trying to approximate the minimum wage life which I think she did quite well. I admire that she actually did work at Walmart and the Maids and a few other places, rather than just interview the workers. I don't know if you read her f/u book about trying to obtain a white collar entry level job and failed miserably (I think the job she got was a commission only position).
Nickle and Dimed is a wonderful eye-opening read! Thanks for reviewing it!
Thanks for reviewing this book. I have it sitting on my shelf and its on my list of books to read for the Women Unbound challenge. I completely agree with you that even though Ehrenreich attempted to experience what the majority of the American people actually live with/through, its not enough. Until you have no health insurance and can't afford food on the table and are constantly trying to figure out how you are going to make rent next month, there is no way for Ehrenreich to fully comprehend the situation. I'm looking forward to reading this book and wanted to say thank for the heads up. Cheers!
I saw a review of this book elsewhere in the past few weeks and added it to my wish list because it looks like such a good read. I agree that there's nothing to compare to really living in the situation though. Thankfully I haven't had to deal with a situation like that as an adult, but there were a few tight years like that when I was growing up. My dad took really any job he could get to make ends meet, and there were stretches of time without health insurance.
This book is a favorite of mine. Reading it really opened my eyes to the challenges of low-income workers and how in many ways it can become a vicious trap. I naively believed that if you were working you could make enough to get by - this book proved how very hard that can be.
I agree that the author didn't totally immerse herself in the life and maintained comforts like health insurance, etc but she did acknowledge that and point out how really living that life is much more difficult than her experiment with it.
I haven't read her next book but would like to.
You know what creeped me out most about this book? Her description of how Merry Maids "cleans" a house. I would think this book probably directly impacted their bottom-line. I was urged my a co-worker to read this book, a who self-admitted to suffering from what she termed as "White guilt". I liked this book. However it's really hard to understand what someone is going through until you put yourself in their shoes.
PS- thanks for sending me the link. I enjoyed reading your take.

Hi chaps, as you know i am in the process of completing my mk1 V8 project.Part of that project also involves ripping the stock radiator out and upgrading it.Now the stock mk1 rad works fine for 4age cars, and indeed it copes ok with 3sgte and even v6 engined cars, but we have noticed that the fans come on far more regularly with one of the bigger engine swaps.Indeed you may notice the fan on a v6 mk1 kicking in and out quite a lot over a short period of time.What this tells us is that, while it works, it is on the edge of its capabilities.Certainly with my v8 i know for almost certain that my stock rad is just not going to cut the mustard.
Also the new batch of 2gr Mk1's may also benefit from this upgrade, only time will tell on that.Bottom line is upgrading is always better, even if you think it's not a necessity.
So the radiator upgrade i have planned is a much bigger version of the Mk1 rad, it is 100% aluminium, and VERY thick cored... the stock rad is about 30mm thick, this new ally one is 50mm thick and has much freer flowing cores.This will vastly reduce back pressure build up on the pressure cap under hard acceleration.It is also a nicely TIG welded work of art, i definately won't be replacing my plastic top cover with this fitted!
Price is still undecided as yet, i need to finalise the bracketry and any other mods that will need to be done but i am hoping to make this a DIY job at home.Hopefully i can supply the radiator plus everything required to make it bolt on for under £250.
At the moment this is a Mk1 only upgrade, but i will be working on mk2 and mk3 versions very soon.
I will update this thread as it happens.

that's a very decent price point. can we see some prototype pics? i'm very interested in this when you get to a MKII model.
It will probably mean me supplying two new front hoses that match up exactly and mounting brackets too.
The Mk2 version will be much more like the stock Mk2 rad except thicker, the outlets for that need to be in exactly the same place as they are now.
excellent looking price thus far. Bill Strong did a group buy on the US MR2OC for $520 shipped to the UK, for basically a stock replacement with a 1.5" core. so £250 is very cheap indeed for what youre getting.
Yes that's what i thought Jim, i won't be doing this with a view to making money, just covering costs and getting a good product that is a nice upgrade out there.
thats avery nice rad paul and a good price for an alloy rad as i was looking into a 4 core rad incoperating an intercooler rad and was coming up with some very expensive prices.
Well i will reserve judgement on the quality until it is in my hands tiggs, but fingers crossed it will work out well.
Paul - I'm practically sold on this already. I want to get the main guts of the conversion work out of the way in one hit if possible. Happy to refine suspension, interior etc. later but want the driveline, brakes and cooling to be on spec right out of the traps.

In crittografia il MacGuffin è un cifrario a blocchi sviluppato nel 1994 da Bruce Schneier e Matt Blaze ad un seminario del Fast Software Encryption. Fu realizzato come catalizzatore per l'analisi di una nuova struttura di cifrario nota come Generalized Unbalanced Feistel Network (GUFN), Rete di Feistel Generalizzata Non Bilanciata. La crittanalisi fu molto rapida: l'algoritmo fu violato durante lo stesso seminario da Vincent Rijmen e Bart Preneel.

Struttura
Gli autori basarono il MacGuffin sul DES modificandolo in modo tale che il blocco dati non venisse diviso in metà uguali nella rete di Feistel ma in due parti differenti: la più grande, di 48 bit, veniva processata dalla funzione Feistel ed il risultato di questa iterazione veniva combinato con l'altra parte, di 16 bit, mediante un'operazione di XOR. L'algoritmo era sperimentale, creato per esaminare la sicurezza delle reti di Feistel non bilanciate.

Il diagramma in alto a destra mostra un passaggio del MacGuffin: il blocco dati da 64 bit è diviso in 4 word da 16 bit ciascuna (ognuna rappresentata da una linea). Le tre più a destra sono combinate mediante XOR con la chiave segreta e poi processate da 8 S-box, ognuna delle quali prende come input 6 bit di dati e restituisce 2 bit di output. Gli output delle S-box sono ricombinati a formare una nuova word da 16 bit che poi viene processata mediante XOR con la word più a sinistra del blocco dati: il risultato viene scambiato con la posizione più a destra dei blocchi di output delle S-Box. L'algoritmo prosegue così per il numero di passaggi prestabiliti.
Il gestore della chiave è una versione modificata dello stesso algoritmo crittografico.

Dato che il MacGuffin è una rete di Feistel, la decifratura è molto semplice: basta semplicemente eseguire l'algoritmo alla rovescia.

Schneier e Blaze raccomandavano 32 passaggi ed una chiave di 128 bit.

Crittanalisi
Durante lo stesso seminario durante il quale il MacGuffin fu presentato Rijmen e Preneel mostrarono che era vulnerabile alla crittanalisi differenziale. Essi misero in evidenza che i 32 passaggi del MacGuffin erano più deboli dei 16 passaggi del DES: in poche ore erano in grado di recuperare buone caratteristiche differenziali del DES partendo da buoni valori iniziali mentre erano in grado, nello stesso tempo, di ottenere buone caratteristiche differenziali del MacGuffin senza valori iniziali. Essi trovarono che era possibile recuperare la chiave dell'ultimo passaggio con la crittanalisi differenziale e da lì invertire l'ultimo passaggio e ripetere l'attacco per i passaggi rimanenti.

Rijmen e Preneel provarono ad attaccare il MacGuffin con S-Box differenti, prese direttamente dal DES. A questo tipo di attacco l'algoritmo si mostrò più resistente: essi però conclusero che il progettare un algoritmo solo in modo che resista agli attacchi noti non è generalmente un buon principio strutturale.

Q: OpenNebula: [HostPoolInfo] User couldn't be authenticated, aborting call I installed OpenNebula 3.2.1 following the guide found under http://opennebula.org/documentation:rel3.2:ignc on a Debian 6.0.4 machine. Everything seemed fine until trying to execute the command
onevm list

Then I always get this:
oneadmin@opennebula-master:~$ onevm list
[VirtualMachinePoolInfo] User couldn't be authenticated, aborting call.

The file one_auth exists. I even gave the oneadmin user a password although it doesn't seem to be required according to the guide. I copied the password hash from /etc/shadow to the one_auth file. Still no success.
Any ideas are appreciated.

A: Note that the answer from Peteris is a verbatim quote from the OpenNebula documentation which presumably is not clear enough...
Based on the question, 2 points seem to need clarification:

*

*OpenNebula uses its own distinct authentication, NOT system auth, so the username and password in the file named in the $ONE_AUTH environment variable are ones set using OpenNebula itself.

*The password field is not a hash, it is plaintext. For that reason it is important that you make sure the file has restrictive permissions, e.g. 600

A: Needs to point to a file containing just a single line stating "username:password". If ONE_AUTH is not defined, $HOME/.one/one_auth will be used instead. If no auth file is present, OpenNebula cannot work properly, as this is needed by the core, the CLI, and the cloud components as well.

Q: Dataflow Process does not retrieve queued messages after restart We have a dataflow process subscribed to "Subscribtion A" on a "Topic A" processing messages in streaming mode.
According to PubSub documentation, if the messages are not pulled they will be retained for at least 7 days per subscription. Am I right to assume that if I stop my Dataflow process for an hour and then restart, it should process all the messages accumulated in the subscription while subscriber process was down before proceeding with the streaming messages?
In our case Dataflow process does not seem to pick up queued messages after restart. Is there any explicit configuration option that we are missing?

A: We tested it again and it does seem to work fine. It appears to be related to some other issues.

Mercedes-Benz EQ Ready app.
The online EV compatibility test
by Dom Tripolone
30th Aug 2018 11:45 AM
MERCEDES-BENZ has developed a smartphone app that can tell whether you're ready for an electric vehicle.
The EQ Ready app can analyse data from your regular commute and crunch the numbers to work out whether owning an electric or hybrid car is a viable option.
A virtual profile is created by tracking your speed, acceleration, braking distance, time spent on the road, temperature and altitude.
Myth buster: Mercedes-Benz EQ Ready app can tell you if an electric car is practical for you.
This virtual profile determines the average range and energy consumption you require and then decides which vehicle - either an electric or hybrid - would be best suited to your day-to-day needs.
Users can also manually add in regular charging points such as home or work to help complete their profile and expand their range.
The head of the project for Mercedes-Benz, Wilko Stark, says the app is designed to act like an extended test drive with the aim of providing clarity on EVs' biggest drawbacks and showcasing that electrified cars are more practical than most people think.
"The general conclusion is that electric cars and hybrids in e-mode are much more suitable for everyday use than most people believe," says Stark.
"Following their personal reality check with our app, even sceptics discover that an electric car or hybrid would satisfy their mobility needs."
Users are notified when they reach electrified milestones, with messages such as: "Congratulations! All your journeys can be made electrically without additional recharging."
If the user is worried about privacy they can switch off the recording at anytime and they are reminded that their data is being recorded when tracking is in process.
The app is now available to Australian and New Zealand users.
Mercedes-Benz is set to launch the brand's first electric vehicle, the EQ C, in 2019.
Charging up: The Mercedes-Benz EQ C concept.
The mid-size luxury SUV, a rival to the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace, will be officially revealed on September 5.
The EQ C is expected to be powered by a pair of electric motors - one on each axle - and a 70kWh battery pack which would provide a range of about 500km.

Brilliant, Beautiful: In the King's Arms
In the King's Arms: A Novel by Sonia Taitz
Published October 2011 by McWitty Press
Source: Lucinda Literary
Read December 2011
Have you ever read a book so beautifully written that you had to wonder if it was truly prose and not poetry? A story so brilliantly crafted you knew no words of your own could adequately capture it? That is how I feel after reading In the King's Arms by Sonia Taitz.
I had read great things about the book on Twitter and when Lucinda of Lucinda Literary offered to have a copy sent to me, I jumped at the chance. I've read numerous books about World World II, especially when historical fiction was the top of my reading choices. However, those following my blog know that I've been enjoying stories that are set shortly after the war ended or focused on other players during the era. In the King's Arms fit into this new area I've been exploring. The story is about a young woman who is the daughter of Holocaust survivors. I can't imagine how such an event could shape the lives of the next generation.
When I first started reading In the King's Arms, I was reminded of A Separate Peace by John Knowles. I loved that story when I was in high school, read the sequel, and even used it for a term paper topic. I've been trying to figure out why I wanted to compare them. I think it was because both are "coming of age" stories, but there is more than just that. Maybe it had something to do with how it was written. I'm not sure, but something about the story touched me.
I feel so completely inadequate to review this book. It is beautiful and I can totally see why The Sunday Book Review choose it for inclusion.

Susan Fraser King: Margaret of Scotland (a guest post)
I am happy to introduce to you Susan Fraser King author of Queen Hereafter, which was just released in paperback. If you want to view the book trailer or read the summary, I've posted them here. Today, Susan was kind enough to stop by Girl Who Reads to give us a closer look at her main character - Margaret. I don't know about you, but I don't remember much about medieval history from my school lessons. And I'm positive it never sounded as exciting as Susan has made it. So without further ado...
The holidays are upon us, and as that season blooms green and red and angel-sparkly in our home, I'm pleased to introduce Margaret of Scotland, refugee, queen and saint, in my novel, Queen Hereafter: A Novel of Margaret of Scotland – newly released in trade paperback from Random House and Broadway Books.
Writing a novel about a medieval saint is not the easiest thing to do, as I discovered once I began researching and writing the book. I had written about a medieval queen in my novel, Lady Macbeth; and I had certainly plenty of historical romances (as Susan King and Sarah Gabriel). But a saint? That was a new challenge: all that devoutness and devotion, all that goodness and virtue. As any writer can tell you, a truly well-behaved character can be a lot harder to write than the feisty ones.
Then I got to know Margaret: she had a nicely feisty side, had been shipwrecked, was a needlework artist, a mother, and a tough enough young woman to stand up to the brutish king of Scotland, her own havoc-wreaking husband, and remake him into a more civilized king. A Hungarian-born Saxon princess, Margaret fled the Norman invasion with her siblings and was wrecked on a Scottish shore. The warrior king Malcolm Canmore gave the royal English family sanctuary, and soon offered for Margaret's hand. A savvy political move, though medieval chroniclers noted that the king fell in love with the beautiful foreign princess, though she resisted the marriage (she wanted to be a nun), but finally relented—and what amounts to a natural fairy
tale romance began.
Margaret has been called by historians one of the most fascinating and complex women of the 11th century and indeed the whole medieval era. She and Malcolm were complete opposites—the young educated cosmopolitan princess accustomed to charitable deeds and luxury surroundings, and the brutish, undereducated warlord raised in a savage warrior culture. Her personal confessor and friend left a rare medieval document in his biography of her, in which he describes her piety, her prayerful devotion, her perfection and compassion—and he mentions her temper, her sense of mischief, her pride, affection for friends, and strict demands of herself.
Despite his idealism, Margaret's monk, Turgot, provides glimpses of a vital, unique young woman. She respected her tough husband, taught him to read, chided him for his table manners; he adored her, had her favorite book rebound, translated Gaelic for her when she hotly debated with his priests; she fed orphans from her own spoon, stole gold from her husband's treasury to buy food for the poor, and released his ransomed prisoners; he called her his little thief, boasted of their sons, and begged her to stop fasting.
The fairy tale aspects of her true story are so genuinely the stuff of romance that I could not resist, and had to write about her—a beautiful exiled princess, a shipwreck, a brawny king and love at first sight; a tempestuous but adoring husband, eight healthy, well-behaved children, a deepening mutual love and the growing affection of the Scottish people. Yet as loving, fortunate and intelligent as she was, Margaret worked herself to exhaustion on behalf of the needy, and fasted with such severity that even the priests told her to eat something.
My challenge was to take the various historical facts and many medieval myths about Margaret and spin them into fiction. I wanted to unravel what was known and piece together a new puzzle to make Margaret a real young woman for the modern reader, vulnerable and accessible, rather than just saintly and perfect.
Aside from their political, social and historical significance, the remarkable Queen Margaret and her King Malcolm prove that love blooms in the most unexpected unions, and that not all royal marriages were simply convenient. The story of Margaret and Malcolm is one of a beauty and her beast, two people who changed the course of Scottish, and medieval, history. I hope their romantic story (and that gorgeous cover!) will find a place on your bookshelf, and in your heart, this holiday season.
Thank you, Susan, for sharing with my readers!

Peterloo Is a Hard Movie to Like
Mike Leigh had plenty of material to make an exciting and historically accurate film about the Peterloo massacre. He made a boring one instead.
If, like me, what you knew about the Peterloo massacre before seeing Mike Leigh's film Peterloo is that it inspired Percy Bysshe Shelley's famous poem "The Mask of Anarchy," then like me you're going to be incredibly bummed when nobody ever intones the magnificent lines of the refrain:
Rise like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number—
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you—
Ye are many—they are few.
It seems downright perverse that there's no dramatic use of the poem in the end. Even the marketers of the film knew how fabulous it would be, and emblazoned the glorious lines through the trailer in huge gold letters flowing across the screen between shots of mayhem and slaughter.
Which was such an exciting approach that, after watching the mute, flat ending of Peterloo showing the narrative's main working-class family at a sparsely attended funeral in the rain, I had to ask: What the hell are you doing, Mike Leigh?
That wasn't how it began. Peterloo gets off to a highly dialectical start that seems to announce director Leigh's firm intentions immediately. One dramatically extended shot depicts the last bloody dregs of the battle of Waterloo that finished the Napoleonic Wars with a hard-won British victory. Leigh then tracks the brutal slog of ordinary British soldiers forced to find their own way home from the battlefield in Belgium. The focus is on a war-traumatized bugler boy, Joseph aka Josey (David Moorst), on his journey back to his family in Manchester.
This trek is intercut with a depiction of how significant ruling class figures fare after Waterloo. They don't have to walk home, to say the least.
We cut to Parliament where "the fat leeches in London," as Josey's father Joshua (Pearce Quigley) calls them, immediately vote to award the Duke of Wellington, celebrated commander of the allied forces that defeated Napoleon's army, and already a wealthy, landed Anglo-Irish aristocrat, with a gift of an additional 750,000 pounds. Focus turns to one of Wellington's highly decorated officers, General Sir John Byng (Alastair Mackenzie), who can be traced through the movie by his smart red army coat that links him with Josey the bugler, whose own red army coat gets steadily more faded and dirty over the years.
Byng is first shown receiving his new commission as Commanding Officer of the Northern District of England, meaning he'll soon be presiding over the rising pro-democracy movement centered in Manchester. Not foreseeing any such development, however, he's clearly disappointed in this assignment, and asks wistfully, "Not Ireland?"
The backstory there is, Ireland's famous tendency toward uprising would've meant additional potential glory in dealing with anti-British insurrection there. But you don't get the backstory very often in this film. It's loaded with rich historical detail—just count the number of times Mike Leigh crows on the DVD commentary track, "That actually happened!"
But it's very unforgiving for those who don't know any historical context or aren't burning with interest to know all about Peterloo, the godawful massacre at St. Peter's Field in Manchester when the British military cut down poor laboring families peacefully rallying in support of just representation in Parliament.
Personally, I wanted to know all about the rise of a democratic movement in the four years between Waterloo and Peterloo. But I could've used a little more explanatory assistance. For example, it seems the historical consensus is, if General Byng had been more impressed by the rising reform movement in Northern England, he'd have been far more measured and less hysterical in overseeing the rally at St. Peter's Green, and there might not have been any massacre at all.
But we're not informed of that tragic irony in the film, so all we see is another decadent patrician jackass in action when General Byng makes a few careless remarks about exercising caution and leaves the whole matter to a second-in-command in order to go to York to race one of the horses. There's certainly no strong sense conveyed that things might've been different if the disaffected Byng had stayed at his post.
The initial compare-and-contrast between Josey and General Byng quickly dissipates as both recede from leading roles in the main narrative—Josey because of the trauma he never fully recovers from, and General Bing because he's a rich fuck who doesn't give a damn. As bad times get worse for the working poor after Waterloo, while the ruling class gets ever more cruelly punitive toward those whose labor runs their world, a complex number of representative factions come to the fore.
There are the magistrates, for example, the generally vicious lay judges often drawn from the clergy who spend the film arguing whether the working class poor are bloody-minded savages or misguided children, but are always in agreement that they must be kept down. There are the middle-class reformers who seek only greater representation in Parliament, and working class radicals demanding immediate justice from the Prince Regent "or we'll put him in irons."
Police, spies, and agent provocateurs spread chaos. Female suffragists advocate for the vote for working class men generations before the cause of votes for women generated significant support. Journalists producing the reformist paper conspire to both aid and cover the pro-democracy movement, and mill workers in Manchester, mainly represented by Josey's extended family, struggle to survive and find their place in the confusion of forces.
In tracking all these characters, many based on historical figures, a tremendous amount of talking goes on. This is the chief criticism of Peterloo, which has received reviews that are notably "mixed," like they say in the trade. The bad reviews generally feature a hat-tip to Mike Leigh as an honored auteur now in his seventy-fifth year before ripping into the film.
Ann Hornaday of the Washington Post says, "Leigh's usual gift for illuminating human behavior at its most intimate and universal are sacrificed to expository set pieces and long, windy speeches," while Glenn Kenny of RogerEbert.com notes, "Leigh's passion for the material seems to have led him to approach it from an angle more pedagogic than artistic."
San Francisco Chronicle reviewer G. Allen Johnson goes right for the jugular in a piece entitled "History Rendered Motionless by Mike Leigh in Peterloo": "So much talking, with every actor bellowing lines from Leigh's script. So much scenery chewed, so little action."
Normally this would be the kind of take I'd favor, being all for the motion in motion pictures. But in this case, what we have is a failure to consider what the film is trying to do in the first place.
If you want to hate on a film effectively, you've got to at least try to describe what's going on first. Leigh, who brooks no interference in his projects, is determined to focus on the rhetorical aspect of a rising political movement and its role in the movement's destruction, which should be made clear before you announce that the verbosity of the movie bores you stiff.
Leigh is portraying an age in which high-flown oratory is a dominant social force and central to politics. One pivotal figure is Henry Hunt (Rory Kinnear), who was actually called "Orator Hunt" in honor of his ability to sway the multitudes. Once Hunt is invited to speak at the rally, the die is cast, because his reputation for radical politics and persuasive power convinces the magistrates—or at any rate allows them to pretend to be convinced—that the French Revolution is about to be restaged in England.
Radical in his defense of the rights of "the people" to universal suffrage, Hunt is portrayed here as a vainglorious man of wealth who doesn't have much use for the actual people when he meets them—not an unfamiliar syndrome. He's the showiest example of the potential danger of oratory. His political enemies fear his ability to rile the masses to action, while his political allies are undone by his shoddy values that undermine the movement he claims to support.
His arrogant insistence on displacing all other speakers at the rally, including the middle-class reformers and fellow orators who invited him, sow dissension among movement leaders before a speechifying word gets uttered. And his mandate that everyone in the crowd be disarmed before entering St. Peter's Field, so that his reputation won't become that of a mere rabble-rouser, results in thousands of worker families rendered helpless, without so much as their hoes or pickaxes to fight back with, once they're set upon by the army wielding guns and swords.
The film examines the rise and fall of a political movement in terms of relationship of talk to action, which are often seen as opposed. "Naught but talk," scoffs Nellie, Josey's mother (Maxine Peake), upon hearing the men's reports of political meetings they've attended and the rally they're planning.
But she's also the first to urge caution when there's any hint of action being taken, such as a one-day walkout from the textile mills to go to the rally. Combined in one person are two groups you're familiar with if you're a member of a political organization—naysayers from the sidelines claiming you're not really doing anything, and then when you do try to do something, screechers who are terrified that you'll rock the boat in any way.
But talk can also be seen as a form of action in itself. If you want to get fancy you can read up on speech-act theory to confirm this, or you can just consider the scene featuring the literal reading of the Riot Act by the magistrates while Hunt is speaking. Though it's unheard by anyone in the huge, noisy crowd at St. Peter's Field, under the law the reading of the document re-categorizes the peaceful gathering as a "riot," and constitutes an order to disperse. The attack by the army to quell the "riot" follows automatically.
In his film set in 1819, Mike Leigh is quite intentionally evoking the kind of language and rhetorical positioning taking place right now, in 2019, in left-wing political organizations, as well as the right-wing attacks upon them. He's showing us how a movement grows and gets put down, in the form of talk bracketed by scenes of violent action at Waterloo and Peterloo that are catalysts for and reactions to all the talk generated.
To be interested in all this political engagement portrayed by Leigh, it helps tremendously to be involved in politics somehow already, so at least you'll have the dismal thrill of recognition. And that probably means there's a pretty small niche audience for Peterloo.
Most film critics are pretty clearly not members of this audience. For example, here's G. Allen Johnson again, taking exception to Leigh's portrayal of ruling- vs. working-class characters:
[T]here is little subtlety in Leigh's script. Obviously, he favors the working class in this argument — who wouldn't? — but does every landowner and politician have to be either comically inept as if out of a Monty Python piece or so villainous that all that's missing is a Snidely Whiplash mustache? Does every working-class person have to have this pained, oppressed look?
Yeah, see, you'd hope not to have to explain to a reviewer of Peterloo that the reason the working class person has a pained, oppressed look is because they are actually pained and oppressed by real-life conditions such as hunger, overwork, exhaustion, untreated illnesses, rotting teeth, and general deprivation. Facial expression manifests actual state of being here.
As for the landowners and wealthy politicians, Leigh's research team found that the insanely corrupt ruling class of the early nineteenth century helpfully left huge caches of letters, journals, and speeches that could be directly quoted from, representing them as mostly comically inept and/or villainous. No mad, venomous, ranting speech of hatred and contempt for the lower classes needed to be invented.
We think we live in Snidely Whiplash times now, in terms of the barbaric rhetoric of right-wing conservatives, but it's nothing compared to the fearless, furiously outspoken loathing for working class people two-hundred years ago. They let it fly proudly.
Given Leigh's clear investment in the role of rhetoric in politics, it's even more maddening that "The Mask of Anarchy" plays no role in the film. Inspired by what Shelley called "the torrent of my indignation" after learning of the massacre, the poem is his effort to expose the ruling class political figures responsible—by name, in several cases—as apocalyptic monsters. He recasts the meaning of the massacre, creating a rallying cry to embolden the masses to restage the action of the St. Peter's Field again and again, ever more indomitably: "Let a great assembly be, of the fearless, of the free."
Lines from the poem live on in the popular imagination, and fire up the members of countless political movements, in a way the bald historical facts of the Peterloo massacre most definitely do not. Yet Leigh skips the poem altogether, and ends the film in a wet, muddy graveyard.
It's a hard movie to like.

What Is Irritable Bowel Syndrome and How Best to Treat It?
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a real pain. You can have difficulty going to the toilet, which gives you a buildup of pain and discomfort in your gut. Or, you need to stay close to the toilet because you can't contain your bowels when you get the urge.
Either way, it's an incredibly unpleasant situation.
Ten to 15% of adults and an estimated 6% to 14% of children suffer from IBS. The symptoms can severely impact quality of life, so much so that the condition has been linked to suicidal behavior. That's why it's important to know that IBS is considered a real medical condition. And just as crucial, there is help out there for you.
Numerous medications are used to treat the unpleasant condition, but all have side effects you should be aware of. They can be as minor as dizziness and drowsiness, or as severe as muscle cramps, tremor and weight gain. You can find out more below about IBS and the best ways to treat it.
IBS is termed a "functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder." This means that compared to average, the GI tract of people with IBS works more slowly, quickly or differently.
The cause is often due to many reasons and can be the result of GI hypersensitivity, small intestinal bacterial growth, psychosocial factors, increased intestinal inflammation and dysregulated communication between the gut and the brain.
Symptoms include abdominal pain and discomfort, bloating, constipation, diarrhea or both, along with altered bowel function such as frequency, incomplete evacuation, and frequent changes hard/loose stool alteration.
What are the treatment options for IBS?
Additional fiber is frequently recommended for IBS patients. Though, while "bulk-forming laxatives, like Metamucil, can be quite helpful, even for diarrhea-predominant IBS, they can also provoke gas and bloating," notes Dr. Tishler.
Registered dietitian Ryan Whitcomb suggests that some individuals may experience additional relief with "galactooligosaccharide (GOS), a prebiotic that may improve stool consistency, flatulence, bloating and overall IBS symptoms." It is available as a dietary supplement.
Hyoscyamine Levsin, Levbid and 25 other brand names Antispasmodic RX Dry mouth, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, drowsiness, weakness, and nervousness.
Loperamide Imodium, Pepto Diarrhea Control, Diamode Antidiarrheal OTC Dry mouth, dizziness and drowsiness.
Diphenoxylate/ Atropine Lomotil, Lonox, Vi-Atro, Lomocot Antidiarrheal RX Blurred vision, confusion, difficult urination, dry mouth, fever, headache and potentially addictive. Side effects after ceasing meds – sweating, muscle cramps, nausea, trembling and stomach cramps.
Amitriptyline/ desipramine Vanatrip, Elavil, Endep / Norpramin Tricyclic antidepressants RX Tachycardia, dizziness, nervousness, sedation, tremor and weight gain.
Duloxetine Cymbalta SSRI antidepressant RX Insomnia, dizziness, weakness, drowsiness, diarrhea, constipation, headache.
Xifaxan Rifaximin Antibiotic RX Flatulence, headache, nausea, abdominal pain, bowel urgency.
Newer medications, such as Lotronex (alosetron), Viberzi (eluxadoline), Amitiza (lubiprostone) and Linzess (Linaclotide), have been approved specifically to treat IBS or relate symptoms, but they also have side effects to be aware of. Lotronex has a "black box" warning about the risk of serious gastrointestinal adverse reactions, including colitis and severe complications from constipation. Use of Viberzi can lead to pancreatitis and a muscle spasm in the digestive system. Amitiza can cause nausea, diarrhea and abdominal pain. And Linzess should be not be taken by those under 18.
FODMAPs refer to a group of carbohydrates that may trigger IBS symptoms due to poor absorption in the small intestine, which then leads to increased fermentation in the GI tract. Therefore, eliminating FODMAP foods provides relief.
The low FODMAP diet has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms in 70%-86% of participants in scientific studies.
Probiotics (Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 and Lactobacillus plantarum 299V) help manipulate the types of bacteria in the gut, which subsequently relieves pain, discomfort, bloating and constipation. Probiotics (Bifidobacterium infantis M-63, breve M-16V and longum BB536) are particularly beneficial in children where other forms of treatment have no benefit. If you want to get more probiotics in your diet naturally, seek out yogurt.
Peppermint oil in capsule form taken 3 times a day 15-30 minutes before meals may help improve abdominal discomfort, bloating and overall symptoms. However, it can cause heartburn in some people.
Ginger and ginger extract may help reduce nausea, decrease inflammation, strengthen the gut lining and stimulate bowel function.
St. John's wort may help relieve stress-related symptoms associated with IBS.
The only homeopathic remedy with some evidence) of benefits is asafoetida, an herb with a pungent smell.
Dr. Tishler, an expert on cannabis therapeutics, suggests the only therapy he has found to be highly effective is marijuana.

If you're wondering what a blockchain actually is, or how its works, you're not alone. Autonomous Research, which calls the technology a "game changer," has released a report to answer all of your blockchain questions.
The important thing to understand is that it has nothing to do with bitcoin — at least for Wall Street's purposes. Blockchain is the technology behind bitcoin, but it has many other uses too.
That may not sound very exciting, but if it works, it could eliminate back-office jobs and costs. So it's worth paying attention to — especially if you're one of the thousands of people who work in bank back offices.
There's no need for a centralized authority to validate transactions when multiple banks, asset managers, or custodians can agree and validate them instead.
And it could create a huge amount of value for the top Wall Street banks. That's why they're so interested in the technology.

Frank Kimbrough, Pianist With a Subtle Touch, Is Dead at 64
6 days ago 12
He could hold the spotlight in everything from a trio to Maria Schneider's 18-piece big band. He was also a passionate educator.

Jan. 12, 2021, 6:09 p.m. ET
Frank Kimbrough, a deft and subtle jazz pianist known for his work in the Maria Schneider Orchestra and other prominent groups, and as the leader of his own small ensembles, died on Dec. 30 at his home in Queens. He was 64.
Ann Braithwaite, his publicist, said that the cause was not yet known but that it was believed to be a heart attack.
Casual of gesture but deeply focused in demeanor, Mr. Kimbrough had an understated style that could nonetheless hold the spotlight in trio settings, or fit slyly into Ms. Schneider's 18-piece big band.
In many ways, his playing reflected the Romantic, floating manner of his first jazz influence, Bill Evans. But his off-kilter style as both a player and a composer also called back to two of his more rugged bebop-era influences: Herbie Nichols and Thelonious Monk, both of whom he eventually paid tribute to on record.
In 2018, Mr. Kimbrough put forth "Monk's Dreams: The Complete Compositions of Thelonious Sphere Monk," the most ambitious recording of his career, a six-disc collection on Sunnyside Records spanning Monk's entire known songbook. Mr. Kimbrough's loose and generous spirit as a bandleader permeates the record, driving a quartet that features Scott Robinson on saxophones and other horns, Rufus Reid on bass and Billy Drummond on drums.
All told, Mr. Kimbrough released well over a dozen albums as a leader, starting with "Star-Crossed Lovers" (1986), a cassette-only release for Mapleshade Records, and including the celebrated recordings "Lullabluebye" (2004), "Play" (2006) and "Live at Kitano" (2012).
Since 1993, he had appeared on every album except one by Ms. Schneider, a Grammy winner and National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master, including last year's widely acclaimed double disc "Data Lords."
In a New York Times review of the trumpeter Ron Horton's sextet in 2000, Ben Ratliff wrote, "Part of Mr. Kimbrough's originality takes the form of an almost passive or Zenlike approach to an active situation; his solo in an urgent piece called 'Groveling' was a sustained rubato rhapsody, and otherwise he plays cloudlike chords where you would normally expect rhythmic stabs."
Frank Marshall Kimbrough Jr. was born on Nov. 2, 1956, in Roxboro, N.C. His father was a florist. His mother, Katie Lee (Currin) Kimbrough, was a piano teacher.
Mr. Kimbrough always said that he had been playing since before he could remember. He studied with a local Baptist minister, then briefly studied piano performance at the college level before dropping out because the school's curriculum didn't have a place for jazz.
By his mid-20s he was a known bandleader on the Chapel Hill scene, and in 1980 he relocated to Washington, where he gigged with a number of local stalwarts and came under the wing of the pianist and vocalist Shirley Horn. It was through her that he eventually signed with Mapleshade, after moving to New York City in 1981. His mentors there included the pianists Andrew Hill and Paul Bley, as well as the drummer Paul Motian.
"They were all very kind to me, and we've spent a lot of time together," he said in a 2019 interview with jazztrail.net. "So their influence was not just musical. I observed how they worked and we spent time talking about music, but other things too."
Mr. Kimbrough himself went on to be an educator known for his commitment to his students. He taught piano at New York University in the 1990s and in 2008 became a music professor at the Juilliard School, where he taught until his death.
"I think it's my responsibility to pass all the information I've learned from these great musicians on," he said in 2019. "This music is not taught in books, it's taught person to person, and I try to give all that away."
In addition to his wife of 31 years, the vocalist Maryanne de Prophetis, Mr. Kimbrough is survived by his mother and four younger brothers: Conrad, Mark, Edwin and David.
In 1985, he won the Great American Jazz Piano Competition, held annually at the Jacksonville Jazz Festival in Florida. In the early 1990s he and the bassist Ben Allison founded the Jazz Composers Collective, whose members often played and recorded together. Their work in that organization led to the Herbie Nichols Project, an effort that was led by Mr. Allison but that featured Mr. Kimbrough prominently.
Mr. Kimbrough listened to a wide array of music, in jazz and well beyond, often leaning toward ruminative composers like Morton Feldman or folkloric sources from around the world.
His favorite place to compose, he said, was on a park bench by the East River, overlooking Manhattan.
"I write things that are sketches, one page long. I like to write simple pieces that are easy to play," he told DownBeat in 2016. "There is a park across the street from my house, and I go over there at night, maybe around 11:00, and I sit there. And if an idea hits me, I may walk around the park with the idea bouncing around my head for six months, and then I might write 16 bars of music."
A patient, deliberate process suited Mr. Kimbrough, and he was uninterested in any approach that valued physical skill over earnest expression. "Music is not athletics," he said. "I am tired of hearing clever athletic music."


Bartacks and Singletrack: Little Things to Sew: Cover to Cover Challenge - I made it.
Little Things to Sew: Cover to Cover Challenge - I made it.
Remember last October, when I announced I was going to go all the way and invited you to come along for the ride?
Well, I've done it. I've sewn my way through Little Things To Sew.
I broke my sewing machine on Thursday (don't ask me how, it may have something to do with sewing over pins all the time), so I hand to hand sew my final project.
That wasn't so awful as it was a gorgeous Spring weather here and so while the kids did laps of the pump track on their bikes, and Flipper took photos, I sat on the grass in the sunshine and made my little bear puppet.
Anyway, Olaf and I got chatting and he decided to interview me, in the same manner that I've interviewed the other sewers who have completed my Cover to Cover Challenge so far.
Q: As a sewer, what was your favourite project in the book?
A: From the sewing aspect, it would have to be a tie between the Art Smock and the Explorer Vest.
The Art Smock has lovely French seam finishes, comes together so quickly and easily but ends up being a really well finished project.
The Explorer Vest is much more like home territory as it's really kid's garment sewing. The pockets are all neatly constructed and the topstitching makes it very satisfying and professional looking.
Q: Which project was the favourite from the kid's point of view?
A: They're not here to ask right now, but for the large part it's been the most recent. You're looking pretty popular right now, little bear.
Some projects are used rarely but always bring joy. The Puppet Theater is the best example, they love it, but just tend to forget to get it out.
The Penguin Backpack is in very regular use as A's daycare bag. P is wearing some Mittens for the cold morning rides to school. I've made countless numbers of Bucket Hats and they come out for the whole summer season, and during winter P has loved having his Travel Quilt on his bed. I'd say there haven't been any dud projects!
Q: Were there any projects that you found difficult or got stuck on? If so, why?
As it happened you turn it right side out, and yes, I was being a bit pedantic. If it helps anyone else I've made four in total now and will have a tutorial for the Pencil scarf on the Oliver + S blog soon.
The other project that caused me trouble was my first Messenger Bag. That was purely down to my choice of fabric. Not far from our house is a canvas awning manufacturer and I'd asked them for some Kevlar strength offcuts to patch the knees of P's pants. They gave me enough to make the bag, so I did. Man that was tough to sew. I bent countless pins, broke a few needles, and finally the light bulb blew and I finished it off sewing the bias binding after midnight in the dark. It's a really cute bag, and worked well as a kindy bag for P.
My second Messenger Bag went together much better using a standard canvas fabric. However I found the pocket flaps ran a bit small so I redrafted and recut them. It was a gift and I was happy to recently see that it's been getting daily use.
Q: Were there any projects that you wouldn't have made except for the Cover to Cover Challenge and the need to make them all? Which one(s)?
You know, now that you're here little bear, we all really like you and couldn't imagine our family without you in it.
......But I guess you have to understand there was a reason why you came last.
Don't be sad. Like everything I've made from Little Things to Sew, even if I was ho-hum at the start, I've been delighted with the end result. I've drafted off the larger size Bear Puppet pattern too, so I thought I might make you a mum and a dad one day. How'd you like that?
Q: Would you be happy, uninterested or horrified if there was ever a Little Things To Sew Volume II?
Possibly all three emotions at once! I'd be really happy 'cause I know they'd be cute projects. I'd be completely uninterested in sewing them right now, but I know I'd have to buy the book straightaway anyway. I'm a bit horrified at the thought, as, knowing me, I'm sure I'd end up making everything just for the sake of the challenge all over again. Mostly, I think it would be great!
Q: And finally, what's next?
Right now I'm looking at an unfinished Newcastle Cardigan that just needs buttonholes. That Thread Theory pattern was an absolute delight to sew. Having been brought up (in a sewing sense) on Oliver + S instructions I can't say enough good things about the Thread Theory pattern.
But, I need the sewing machine back from the repair shop to finish that. The kids then want to make Flipper a painted t-shirt for father's day, and I've had an idea for a completely overlocked raglan dress for A. I want to play with my overlocker and try to make it look like a flatlocked seam.
So, there we go. The Cover to Cover Challenge has come to an end for me.
But what about you? Well, I have no idea what time zone any of you live in, so I'm leaving the official finish time to some time after every possible spot has seen out the end of August 2014. For those of you in French Polynesia or little US island outposts, you have heaps of time. I hope all the Samoans have sewn their last stitch already!
I'll be back in a day or two with the final PDF scoreboard and then we'll draw the winner of the Fabric Stash gift voucher shortly after. By the way, if you don't like your odds in the lucky prize draw, you could just go shop at the Fabric Stash right now as there's a Labour Day weekend sale on!
Here's my collage of images of (nearly) all my Little Things to Sew projects. If you don't already have this sewing book, what can I say?... you should.
Congratulations! Well done you on completing the challenge and organising it so well for everyone. I am way behind but still hope to get finished one day. The bear puppet was low on my priority list too, but having seen how cute this one turned out it's jumped a few steps up in the rankings.
Re: Frozen costume, perhaps it's not such a bad thing that your sewing machine has broken at this very moment? It could have been the thought of blue spangles and tulle that tipped it over the edge.
Sewing machine suicide you reckon? Sounds reasonable!
Thanks for the kind words, the puppet is cute and was quite nice to do as a hand sewing project after all.
Wow - I am impressed - the whole book is a good effort, no wonder your sewing machine was feeling a bit tired - I've made a few bucket hats,the cape and the doll carrier - messenger bag is next on my list.
Thanks squirrel! Have you added your photos to the Flickr pool? I'd love to see your projects.
Well done, it all looks fabulous.
Well done on everything and I just love this interview, it sure has made me smile this morning! (great interview and photos to go with it!!) Congratulations on sewing everything from book and Olaf is pretty cute too.
Thank you Sharon. He's quite the reporter isn't he? I think that's the real genius behind these projects - we all love to play with them!
Bravo! You must have a huge sense of accomplishment. Very cute interview :) Thanks so much for bringing the online sewing community together and organizing this LLTS challenge.
Cute! That interview was great :) I am impressed with your perseverance. I've had the book for years and have only sewed one thing *blush*.
Thanks. trust me, there are plenty of other half done things lying around,. Some of them are sewing books, some are important tasks that I really need to get back to! Next time you need a kid's birthday gift pull the book out, you'll be surprised how many good ideas are in there.
Yay congratulations Shelley! That is so fantastic. I am really impressed with the effort! Hope you are breaking open a bottle of bubbles or doing something special to celebrate :) And thanks again for creating this challenge for other people to enjoy too! I am sure I am not the only one to say that the Flickr group and reading everyone else's posts have inspired me.
PS We are painting t-shirts for Fathers Day too!
Thank you. you know I didn't think of a celebratory drink (must have been sick!) Would it be wrong to have popped champagne for this if I'd forgotten my last wedding anniversary?!
Congratulations!!!! I love all of your projects and laughed while reading this entire post. I do hope they come out with another book. I have been thinking what a great value the book is as I am about to make a second backpack from it. I would prefer if it came out at the same time (or a week later) that I finish all the projects from the first book.
Stay in the groove and just keep going huh? Spoken like a real endurance sewer. I'm glad you're getting your money's worth!
I am beyond impressed! All the projects look fantastic and that little Olaf sure is a cutie! High five!
I literally laughed out loud when I read this. Especially "which project would you not have made..." hahaha.
Way to go, Shelley! You rocked the challenge!

Police in Spain arrested a French-Algerian man suspected of fighting for Al-Qaeda-linked groups in Syria, the Spanish interior ministry said on Wednesday.
Spanish officers with the help of French police seized Abdelmalek Tanem, 24, in the southern city of Almeria on Wednesday afternoon, the ministry said in a statement.
They said he was thought to have carried out "terrorist activities" in Syria with two jihadist factions: the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), and the Al-Nusra Front.
He is suspected of serving as a "combatant" as well as a "facilitator" on the Syria-Turkey border helping other Europeans travel to join the group.
Spain has arrested hundreds of suspected Islamists in the decade since Al-Qaeda inspired bomb attacks killed 191 people on commuter trains in Madrid in March 2004.
Spanish security forces say they fear battle-hardened Islamist fighters may return from Syria under the influence of Al-Qaeda-inspired groups, presenting a threat of attacks in Spain.
Both Al-Nusra Front and ISIL were initially offshoots of the Al-Qaeda branch in Iraq before deteriorating ties between them in Syria erupted into violence.


Kostel Svateho Havla is located in Prague. Put Kostel Svateho Havla into our Prague day trip planning app and find out what's close by, where to stay, and where to head next.
It is a church on the outskirts of Havel SCA market. Visit Havel SCA marketplace and have soared behind you can see. I went during the day, but was locked and could not be open to the public. Looks cute.
Takes 10 minutes walking from the old town square. From looking at the carolinum, estates Theatre, came to this church. From the look I could not just closed the entrance and into Hubbell went to market.
The parish church of St. Havel, founded by Wenceslao I in 1232, was one of the four main churches in Prague. In the mid-14th century, the Church was rebuilt in the Gothic style as a basilica with three naves, which is still evident despite the later Baroque modifications. Like most of the churches in Prague, this church was originally surrounded by a cemetery. At the beginning of the 17TH century it was donated to the Church of the Carmelites, who built a monastery, until in the 18th century became parish again.
The Church of St. Havel was built in the first half of the 14th century. The remains of Romanesque masonry can be seen at present. In 1353 by Emperor Charles IV the Church were donated by the relics of St. Havel (skull), acquired in a Swiss monastery in St. Gallen. It was not the only offering to the temple by Charles IV, the Church had, in addition to a number of relics donated also the altars.

Our family was in need of a weekend getaway to relax, spend time together, and celebrate some good news from Ryan's work…so we booked a last minute trip to Sedona. How lucky are we that this amazing place is less than two hours away!
~Saturday morning, we slept in (just kidding, the Osterhaus clan is awake with the sun!). After a solo run, I met up with Ryan and the kids for a joint run/bike ride/sight seeing/park play adventure. My idea of a perfect morning!
~We then headed to Grasshopper Point. We started with a short hike, and then hit up the swimming hole to play in the cold waters. A few older kids were climbing a cliff, walking along a ridge and jumping off into the waters below. Lily immediately said "I WANT TO DO THAT" to which I at first ignored….she isn't known to be overly adventurous or brave. After she continued to insist, I said "ABSOLUTELY NOT!" and then continued to ignore. (I've said it once, and I'll say it again, heights bother me and there was no way I was going to let Lily climb up there and then jump off into unknown waters).
Luckily for Lily, her dad is less protective (and chicken) than her mother….after a little persistence, I gave in and off they went. Ryan will admit he was a bit nervous on the ridge walking to the jumping point…it's fairly high and very narrow. Dad jumped first, and I just knew our girl would chicken out and he'd have to go back up to retrieve her. But after Ryan counted to three, off she jumped…and came up with huge smiles and so very proud of herself. Me, well, I was shocked, amazed, and a little in awe of our girl.
After all that excitement, we were tired, hungry, and ready to relax. We headed to the Indian Garden Oak Creek Market for a tasty lunch outside while watching a storm roll in. Heaven for us this time of year! The rest of the day was spent napping, watching the rain, and then walking to dinner.
~Sunday morning, we did touristy Sedona. We booked the Sedona trolley, learned a bit of history while William loved riding a "train", admired the beautiful red rocks, and toured the Chapel of the Holy Cross. Such a fun hour ride for all ages!
~Our final stop of the trip…the Sedona airport and lunch. While I might not recommend the restaurant, the views on the drive to the top of the mesa were out of this world, plus the airplanes taking off and room for the kids to run made it worthwhile!
Our weekend was exactly what our family needed….quality time together, lots of relaxing, a little adventure, all in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
That looks so fun! I love the ages L&W are at, seems like they are ready for any adventure!

Premier League: Andy Cole says club won't win EPL this season despite going top
2 days ago read comments by Fred Kennedy
- Andy Cole believes Man United are yet to reach the level of rivals City and Liverpool to win the title
- According to Cole, next season is the only realistic time United can challenge for the crown
- The Red Devils currently occupy top place with a three-point advantage ahead of their meeting on Sunday, January 17
Man United hero Andy Cole has written off his former side from the title race this season despite sitting top of the standings.

TUKO.co.ke reported United leapfrogged Liverpool to move to the summit of the league charts following their 1-0 hard-fought win at Burnley on Tuesday night, January 12.
Paul Pogba's sublime finish in the second half of the tie proved to be decisive as the Red Devils went top with 36 points.
However, despite the Old Trafford dwellers' arguably promising campaign, Cole believes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men will find it difficult to challenge Liverpool and rivals Man City for the title.
Gary Neville rates Man United's title chances after going top of table following win at Burnley
Whereas the Englishman admitted it was a fantastic achievement for his former side to move ahead of Liverpool, he insisted he cannot see them carting home the prestigious title at the end of the campaign.
He noted that would be a long stretch for United right now, arguing they cannot match the quality of Jürgen Klopp's side and City.
"And to close the gap in one season, that's no mean feat, that's going to take some consistency and those sides are yet to play very well," he told talkSPORT.
"But to win it this season is going to take some doing," he added.
He, however, predicted United have a realistic chance of challenging for the domestic crown from next season.
"I don't think we've got enough to go ahead and win it this season, but I feel we can look towards next season when I think it could be a lot better," he noted.
Solskjaer names 3 Man United stars who could miss crucial Burnley clash
His sentiments came just a day after former teammate Gary Neville insisted Man United are firmly in the title race.
Man United will be keen to consolidate their place at the top when they take on Liverpool in their next league match set for Sunday, January 17, at Anfield.

Spaceballs: The Wiki
Spaceballs
John Candy
Barf is a mawg, a half-man half-dog, and is Lone Starr's companion, (Barf notes that he is his own best friend). His name is short for Barfolomew. Barf is a parody of the Wookiee Chewbacca (Chewie). In the movie Spaceballs, he was played by the late John Candy, who of course did not reprise his role in the animated series.
In the movie Edit
While flying in the Eagle 5 with Lone Starr, the two of them get a call from Pizza the Hutt demanding 1,000,000 spacebucks. Soon afterward, King Roland of Planet Druidia asks Lone Starr to rescue his daughter, Princess Vespa, from Dark Helmet. Lone Starr and Barf agree to do so in exchange for 1,000,000 spacebucks.
Once Lone Starr gets in position, he and Barf jam Spaceball I's radar with a giant jar of raspberry jam, then Barf helps Vespa and Dot Matrix board the Eagle 5. Fighting ensues within Starr's ship with Lone Starr poking fun about how she's a Druish Princess (a play on the archetype Jewish Princess) and Vespa playing that stereotype perfectly. They then enter Hyperactive (parody of Star Wars' Hyperspace) with Dark Helmet using "Ludicrous Speed" in an attempt to catch up.
The Eagle 5 crash-lands on the Moon of Vega, leaving Lone Starr, Vespa, Barf, and Dot Matrix to try and survive the harsh desert land. Barf tries to act as a mediator between Lone Starr's and Vespa's arguments. Eventually, Dark Helmet kidnaps Vespa, so Barf and Lone Starr travel to Planet Spaceball and rescue her.
After Lone Starr rescues Planet Druidia, he and Barf receive news that Pizza the Hutt ate himself to death, meaning that they no longer owe him any money. However, after they return Vespa to King Roland, Lone Starr turns down the 1,000,000 spacebucks, as an expression of his love for her. He and Barf open a fortune cookie from Yogurt after getting gas for the Eagle 5, which reveals a message from him. Yogurt informs Lone Starr that the mysterious pendant around his neck is a royal birth certificate, proclaiming him a prince. With this news in hand, Lone Starr proposes to Vespa, and she accepts. Barf attends the wedding as Lone Starr's Best Man (well, Best Mawg, technically).
Barf's actor, John Candy, is the voice actor of Wilbur in The Rescuers Down Under.
In the Russian translation of the movie "a mawg" was rendered as "chelobakka", a portmanteau of words "chelovek" (a man) and "sobaka" (a dog) also spoofing the name Chewbacca.
In the scene where Lone Starr rants about Vespa's bratty behavior, Barf forgets to unbuckle his seat belt before getting out of his chair, and exclaims, "Oh! That's gonna leave a mark." John Candy performed this gag on the spot.
Spaceballs marked the fourth time that John Candy worked with Rick Moranis, the actor who portrayed Dark Helmet. First, they both became regular cast members in SCTV. Then, they both played secondary roles in Brewster's Millions. Later, Moranis landed the male lead role of Little Shop of Horrors, and Candy made a cameo. Unlike all those other works, though, Moranis and Candy never share a scene.
John Candy wore a pair of animatronic ears and a motorized tail, so he wore a special harness to house the servos, receivers, and batteries to power his animatronics. His tail moved when a button in Candy's paw was pressed. His ears were controlled by Creature FX Puppeteer Rick Lazzarini...who also played "Pizza the Hut" AND one of the "Apes on horseback" at the end of the film.
Barf's rank on the 5-Man Band would be the Big Guy.
Quotes Edit
"Funny, she doesn't look Druish."
"I'm a mawg! Half man, half dog. I'm my own best friend."
"Radar about to be jammed."
" Ooh! That's gonna leave a mark!"
"I'll have the cleavage -- I mean, the special."
"(Dot Matrix: Hey, stop looking up my can!) Sorry."
"It's Her Royal Highness's matched luggage."
"Waitress, what did he order? (Waitress: Oh, he had the special.) That's what I ordered! Change my order to the soup."
