29 Feb 2016: Still not there yet I'm afraid. The magazines should all be fine (because of the simple technology they used), and the picture galleries are coming together but I want them on the same page addresses as before so I avoid, as far as possible, broken links. That takes time to resolve I'm afraid. I've decided I need the galleries to be sorted at the same time as the magazines - because there are many links to them and that really need to work from the off.
26 Dec 2015: I've just been doing more planning and investigation around this and getting a better feel for what needs to be done and where. Many of the pages will be as they were but new linking and explaining pages will be needed in places. I plan to get the Magazines, Ashton book and History pages going first, then the galleries, where I am still investigating the best way to present them, and finally the old forum threads. The priority is getting the base information available rather then it always looking pretty with all the original links working as they did 15 years ago etc - some original technology wont be there so the clever links they allowed won't all work. But it's been interesting wandering around a site that ran between 1996 and 2011 and seeing again just all that was achieved - much good stuff! Next update in Feb 2016. And if I can say something before I will. But remember nobody pays a dime for this and I have a day job.
10 Nov 2015: I'd love to say that this is all in-hand and much work is being done etc, but it's not at the moment. It remains my intention to bring Balletco Archive back, but other things have priority just now. It is significant work to properly put Balletco into long term archive (striped of technology that can be attacked or needs constant update) and the priorities will be getting the magazines back on-line and the picture galleries. With those sorted I'll look at the other aspects of what became a sprawling and diverse site, including the old forum conversations. Look forward to saying more around Christmas. And if I can say something before I will.
12 Aug 20162015: The Ballet.co.uk Archive is having to move server to make it easier and less costly to look after for the longer term. It's going to take a while - do forgive us. Look forward to having more to say at the beginning of September.

The Unparalleled Actor - 'Sivaji' Ganesan
by Dr. Padmapriya S
'Chevalier' 'Sivaji' Ganesan was one of a kind. He got the title of 'Sivaji' after he essayed the role of Chathrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the great Maratha Indian ruler during a stage performance. For a person, who left his home to become a theatre artist, the cinematic journey was really long and illustrious. He was a man, who overcame many obstacles in his way. He would go on to achieve stupendous success in Tamil cinema. He would go on to influence Tamil politics, too. He was greatly attached to Mr.Kamaraj, the great Tamil politician-leader, who gave free education, when he was the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu. In terms of political leanings, he was attached to the Congress. He stayed away from joining either the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam or the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam in Tamilnadu.
Sivaji Ganesan was born as V. Chinniah Mandrayar Ganeshamurthy in Soorakottai in Orathanadu in Thanjavur in Tamilnadu. Although he began his career as a theatre artist, it was Tamil Cinema, which made him a household name. While he essayed many roles in TAMIL CINEMA, it was his strong theatre background, which made his cinema performances, very special. His landmark movies were 'Parasakthi' in 1952, 'Andha Naal' in 1954, 'Uthama Puthiran' in 1958, 'Veerapandiya Kattabomman' in 1959, 'Thiruvilayadal' in 1965, 'Thillana Mohanambal' in 1968, 'Deiva Magan' in 1969 etcetera.
He often donned female roles in his theatre years. Strangely that very experience made his walking style, very special. Generations of audiences were to be enthralled by his walking style. He was a versatile actor, who essayed a variety of roles. He made his acting debut in the movie, PARASAKTHI, in 1952. The story is really awe inspiring in the manner that it portrays the interaction between the history of India during the world war period and its impact on the lives of common people. The movie is loaded with social and psychological messages. The dialogues have been written by M.Karunanidhi, who later became the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu. A particularly long and mesmerising dialogue delivered by Sivaji Ganesan in 'Parasakthi' made both M.Karunanidhi and Sivaji Ganesan, a household name in Tamilnadu. It goes down in history as one of the best dialogues of Tamil cinema.
Thiru. Sivaji Ganesan acted in meaningful cinema. His movies extolled the virtues of honesty and bravery. Veerapandiya Kattaboman, Manohara and Raja Raja Cholan were epitomes in this regard. He essayed brave characters like Kattabomman, Karnan and Raja Raja Cholan with effortless ease. He made a great combination with the Tamil actor, Nagesh. He was the Hero and Nagesh was the comedian in several Tamil movies. As an actor, he has played several memorable roles like the father of Kunthavi in Raja Raja Cholan. In many ways, Sivaji Ganesan was also a social reformer, who spread good messages for the society through his movies. In the movie, PARASAKTHI, we can see how the socio-political set up affects the ordinary man. The impact of war on the lives of ordinary people is seen. The dialogues of PARASAKTHI, MANOHARA, VEERA PANDIYA KATTABOMAN , PASAMALARand RAJA RAJA CHOLAN are all relevant, even today.
Sivaji Ganesan's dexterity in speaking his dialogues, his elephantine memory to be able to speak such long dialogues, his baritone voice, his majestic look and his inspiring personality are all legendary. There was a great relationship between Sivaji Ganesan and Karunanidhi. Sivaji Ganesan, the actor gave life to the dialogues written by the talented script writer, M.Karunanidhi. Sivaji Ganesan was the king among all the actors. His famous non-stop dialogue and acting prowess in 'Veerapandiya Kattaboman' helped him get the name as 'Nadigar Chakravarthy' or' Emperor of Actors'. One can almost see the transformation of Sivaji Ganesan into Raja Raja Cholan in the movie, 'Raja Raja Cholan'.
The memorable dialogues between the sculptor character and the character of Raja Raja Chola portrayed by Sivaji Ganesan is an excellent portrayal of the greatness of the King Raja Raja Chola, the king who worked for the welfare of his people, the great warrior that he was and the respect that he had for artists in his kingdom. The movie immortalises the great cultural and historical significance of the Chola reign. The songs in his movie are superlative. There are some awe-inspiring dialogues in 'Veerapandiya Kattaboman '. It is one of the most patriotic movies ever made in India. The film exposes the 'divide and rule' policy of the British rulers as well as well as the greed of the traitors of India. The perfect dialogue delivery and beautiful costumes suitable to the movies, concerned are all really wonderful.
SIVAJI GANESAN WAS BORN TO DON THE ROLE OF KINGS. Sivaji Ganesan's complete true to life portrayal of larger than life characters like in 'Karnan' and Veerapandiya Kattaboman' are very memorable. Thus, Sivaji was able to play both mythological characters like Lord Shiva and Karna as well as historical characters like Veerapandiya Kottabomman, very well. He made his characters come alive. Ganesan had the ability to make people smile, cry, feel anger and was thus able to create, a variety of many other types of emotions, as well.
In Thiruvilayadal, Ganesan acts with great power and strength. The character of Lord Shiva has been portrayed with great elegance by Ganesan. He has also acted in other landmark flms like 'Kandhan Karunai'. His character as 'Veera Bahu' in the movie is quite amazing. In the Movie, PASAMALAR, his acting prowess reached unprecedented heights. The BROTHER character remains etched in our minds. The extraordinary actress, Savithri plays commendably the role of sister in the movie. Both their performances as brother and sister remain yardsticks for future generations of actors., who wish to essay the role of brother and sister. PASAMALAR depicts the ideal brother sister relationship .
He was addressed as 'Nadigar Thilagam', which means 'The Highest in Acting'. He won the great French Honour, Chevalier Award in 1995. He won the highest honour in Indian Cinema, when he was decorated with the Dada Saheb Phalke award in 1996. What a versatile actor, Sivaji was. He could get into the skin of any character – right from Lord Shiva in Thiruvilayadal to a factory worker and rich man in PASAMALAR. The most important aspect of the performance of Sivaji Ganesan, the actor is his consistency in acting performance! Whether it was 'Parasakthi' or ' Veerapandiya Kattabomman' or 'Raja Raja Cholan' or 'Thiruvilayadal' or 'Pasamalar' or 'Deiva Magan', his performances were always consistent. He always amazed his audience with his repertoire. Sivaji Ganesan remains an UNPARALLELLED ACTOR in INDIAN and WORLD CINEMA.

Fidelity Announces to Offer a Platform for Cryptocurrency Transaction in Europe
By Mary Lawrence
In Crypto
Fidelity Digital Assets (FDA), one of the world's largest fund managers, has announced recently to offer custody and trading services to European clients. The investment arm of the firm, Fidelity Investments, had been incorporated in the UK on December 16 and will soon roll out a platform to sell digital asset services to European enterprises. However, the firm does not have any regulatory permissions as of now.
Michael O'Reilly, COO of FDA, stated that it is obvious that the firm will make sure that its operation in Europe complies with the regulatory authorities there. However, he added, "at this point, our understanding is that we do not require any additional licensing to do this (start business) in the UK."
Initially, Fidelity's platform will only support investment in BTC, say reports, but soon the services will expend to other cryptos. Notably, the former MD of Barclays' investment bank, Chris Tyrer, will handle the European endeavor of the firm. Since his joining in April this year, Tyrer has been exploring the potentials of business in the UK and forming a network of clients.
Fidelity Investments is one of the early patrons of cryptocurrencies. The firm has been developing crypto-based services and products since the launch of its blockchain incubator in 2014. The US-based investment company stressed that it will work closely with new clients and will give full support to any financial institutions that wish to invest in cryptocurrency.
Notably, a lack of regulatory authority and market infrastructure has kept many of big potential financial institutions away from crypto markets. However, the scenario is changing rapidly. Interestingly, Fidelity uses cold storage to custody cryptos, i.e. hard drives and physical vaults are used to safeguarding those chips.
Speaking of the new venture in the UK, O'Reilly suggested that besides the whole sense of uncertainty of Brexit, there is a strong community of fintech and crypto enthusiasts in London. He went on to add that moving ahead from the EU; Fidelity will also explore the expansion opportunities in Asia. This step of fidelity will surely help the crypto community & crypto market. People of the crypto community are making money after investing in cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. If you also want to trade or invest money in Bitcoin, Then check the Bitcoin Code which is one of the trusted automated trading platforms. It is the platform that can lead you to make a profit from Bitcoin. Check bitcoincodereview.com, to know more about this unique platform.

Keyes: Gay Boy Scouts Will Force Other Scouts to be Gay
By Brian Tashman | May 3, 2013 10:45 am
Alan Keyes is out with a new column opposing efforts to end the ban on openly gay members of the Boy Scouts and it is about as dumb as you'd expect.
He argues that if the Boy Scouts change the policy, then straight Boy Scouts will be forced to acquiesce to the "sexual advances" of their gay peers in order to avoid being "viciously accused of unrighteous bigotry." Once they deny their faith and turn gay, Keyes warns, they will "slip into a whirlpool of compulsive sensual indulgence, moral guilt and spiritual confusion."
"What is most disturbing is that it uses the young participants in the Scouting movement as cannon fodder in the battle against the natural family," Keyes writes. "In the realm of moral contention, this deployment of, and against, children reminds me of the way the strategists of terror exploit kids in their perpetration of deadly acts of physical violence."
We are in the midst of an historically unprecedented campaign to deny and disparage the rights of the God-endowed natural family. Do the top leaders of the BSA naïvely believe that the emotionally charged, personally confrontational situations their proposal will inevitably foment will not be exploited as part of this campaign? Obviously, the policy being proposed will produce situations the powerful elitist forces pushing for the normalization of homosexuality will portray in the worst possible light.
Ignoring the logic of God-acknowledging moral conscience, they will portray these situations as proof of willfully hurtful personal prejudice and unfair discrimination by the BSA. They will seek to prejudice public opinion in a way that lends credence to civil lawsuits and even criminal prosecution (on civil-rights grounds) against individual BSA leaders and the BSA itself. In addition to the erosion of trust and support from people who have relied on the BSA's respect for the moral tenets of their faith, the BSA will have to devote financial and personnel resources to defending against these charges. Wrenched between these whirlpools of public reaction, the organization could easily go under.
The residual moral appeal of that façade will be used to attract and indoctrinate youngsters in an essentially self-serving, hedonistic and unmanly understanding of human family life, one that destroys the independent moral basis of the family as the primordial, God-ordained institution of human self-government. This will effectively deny the family's institutional claim to possess God-endowed authority and rights which all other institutions of human government are obliged, by the Creator, to respect.
Thus understood in terms of its likely consequences, the latest proposal for ending the BSA's ban on homosexual participation in Scouting is a strategic ploy. What is most disturbing is that it uses the young participants in the Scouting movement as cannon fodder in the battle against the natural family. Some youngsters will be positioned to draw other youngsters into situations where, because they react against sexual advances according to the moral precepts of the faith of their fathers, they will be viciously accused of unrighteous bigotry. Or else their vulnerable adolescent emotions will impel them to betray the tenets of conscience derived from their faith, and slip into a whirlpool of compulsive sensual indulgence, moral guilt and spiritual confusion.
In the realm of moral contention, this deployment of, and against, children reminds me of the way the strategists of terror exploit kids in their perpetration of deadly acts of physical violence. I earnestly pray to God to open the eyes of the BSA's grass-roots leaders and participants. I pray that He will grant them the wisdom to see past false pretenses of compassion and tolerance, in order to recognize a strategy that intentionally and recklessly endangers the moral lives of the youngsters God has entrusted to their care. These young souls deserve better than to be casualties in the battle to force the American people to surrender the unalienable natural rights endowed by their Creator's provision for the wholesome life of the human family.

Top 10 2018 AAC Heisman Trophy Candidates
It may be a long shot, but there are some potential Heisman Trophy candidates in the AAC next year.
By Joe Broback@joebroback Dec 13, 2017, 11:00am EST
Share All sharing options for: Top 10 2018 AAC Heisman Trophy Candidates
Derik Hamilton-USA TODAY Sports
Baker Mayfield won the 2017 Heisman Trophy, and it was certainly well deserved. With that being decided, we get to already look forward to next year, meaning everyone gets a clean slate.
A Group of 5 player winning the Heisman is a long shot given the way the elitists view these conferences, but the AAC boasts some serious candidates for the 2018 award. We saw the AAC produce multiple first team All-Americans this year, and it could be a sign of things to come. Today, we take a look at the 10 best candidates for the 2018 Heisman Trophy, and cross our fingers that one of these players at least makes it as a finalist.
Keep in mind that some of these players might leave for the NFL, but we included them anyways. Players like Courtland Sutton would have made the list (probably would have been #3, but he's going pro). Another note is obviously things like schedule and winning come into play, so we will just stick to talk about the players right now.
1. McKenzie Milton, QB, UCF
UCF's star quarterback was the biggest reason for the Knights undefeated season. His development in just his second year behind center was the key piece that made the offense explosive. While it remains to be seen how his skillset matches up with new head coach Josh Heupel's offense, Milton is a dual-threat that can beat you with his arm and his legs. The sophomore threw for 3,795 yards (10.5 yard average) with 35 touchdowns and just six interceptions while also rushing for 497 yards (5.3 avg.) and seven touchdowns in 2017.
Hicks has the potential to be even better next year, and that's scary.
2. Ben Hicks, QB, SMU
With the hiring of Sonny Dykes, Hicks and the SMU offense might be more lethal than they were this year. Dykes inherits potentially his best offense he's ever coached, and that includes losing his star receiver (Sutton). Coming into this year, the biggest knock on Hicks was his ability to take care of the ball. He did a much better job this year in that area, throwing just nine interceptions. The sophomore had five games in which he threw four touchdowns, and finished the year with 32.
3. Adrian Killins, RB, UCF
You want a committee to watch one player without knowing his stats? Killins is your guy. The same thing happened with De'Anthony Thomas at Oregon. His stats ended up not being the best, but watching him play was worth the price of admission. Killins' speed will do that, and it's comparable to Thomas' with the Ducks. Like Milton, we need to see what his role will be in the new offense, but he has the potential to breakout. 762 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns are just scratching the surface of what he can do.
4. Tony Pollard, WR/KR, Memphis
With the exit of Anthony Miller and Phil Mayhue, someone will need to take a more prominent role in the offense. Pollard's dynamic abilities should put him in position to do that. Pollard was used to run and catch the ball on offense, and that will be a vital asset with a new quarterback and offensive coordinator next year (222 yards rushing, two touchdowns; 501 yards receiving, four touchdowns). What makes him a Heisman candidate at receiver is his return skills. Pollard was the best kick returner in college football this year, which gives him a dynamic that most receivers don't have.
Pollard's return abilities could give him an edge in the Heisman race.
David D. Stacy-USA TODAY Sports
5. Ed Oliver, DT, Houston
Let's clear something up, Oliver is the best player in the conference, and it's not even close. Unfortunately, he's not a strong Heisman candidate because the committee is anti-defense. That shouldn't take away from how good he is. Oliver now has 37.5 tackles for loss in 24 games of action, and his 69 tackles this year were third on his team....at defensive tackle. Is he deserving of the Heisman? Absolutely, but those voting won't see it that way unless he adds touchdowns to his resume.
6. D'Eriq King, QB, Houston
It took a long time, but Major Applewhite finally found the right quarterback for the job. King took over late in the season, but his first game was a memorable one. He didn't have the stats like the rest of these candidates did, but if he played a full season, he would have. Taking his averages and applying them to a full season, King could have produced 2,907 yards passing and 15 touchdowns with 885 yards rushing and 21 touchdowns. Obviously those numbers are just based on his four game average, but he has the ability to make those numbers possible. Now it's up to Applewhite to get him an offensive coordinator that can utilize him better than this year.
7. Darrell Henderson, RB, Memphis
Henderson gave the Tigers it's first 1,000 yard rusher since 2009, and he gave the offense another weapon for defenses to watch. Just a sophomore, Henderson shared time with fellow sophomore Patrick Taylor Jr. after Doroland Dorceus went down with an injury. Both return next year, but the starting job should belong to Henderson after this season. The two combined for 1,952 yards and 22 touchdowns on the ground, and both should help whoever wins the quarterback job ease into the offense.
8. Trey Quinn, WR, SMU
Quinn's return might be up in the air, but his first season with the Mustangs gave fans some excitement outside of Courtland Sutton. His 106 receptions led the nation, and he turned those receptions into 1,191 and 12 touchdowns, both put him first on his team. With some important pieces returning to the lineup, Quinn's return could give them the key piece they need to remain in the hunt for a AAC title. The LSU transfer is deciding if he should go pro or not, but another year with the Mustangs could mean some record-breaking performances.
9. Malcolm Perry, QB, Navy
Perry looked like the better quarterback this year, and could win the job outright next season.
Danny Wild-USA TODAY Sports
Don't be surprised if Zach Abey isn't the quarterback next year, because Perry made a strong case for why he should be. In his last three games this season, he rushed for 614 yards and six touchdowns. His speed and elusiveness allows him to break big runs, and his time at running back has provided him the experience needed to make cuts and break tackles. Abey is the bigger option of the two, but it looked like Perry made the offense better this year. Winning the Heisman would be a long shot, but if Perry's going to rush for 250 yards every other game, he could make a strong run at the trophy.
10. Xavier Jones/Braeden West/Ke'Mon Freeman, RB, SMU
One of these Mustangs won't win because the other two will take carries away, but maybe we could just give all three the award. Jones was the leading rusher this season, but he was third last year behind Freeman and West (the leader in 2016). So, for all we know, Freeman will lead the team in 2018. Regardless of who's the lead ball carrier, all three will keep the SMU rushing attack going strong next year.
Mike Hughes, CB, UCF - Potential shutdown corner who has return abilities. Was the second best returner in the conference behind Pollard and third in the nation.
Tyre McCants, WR, USF - Showed his big play potential in the War on I-4, but will need a quarterback who can get him the ball. Quinton Flowers is out of eligibility, and Sterlin Gilbert's offense was run-heavy this year.
Jonathan Banks, QB, Tulane - Banks was the biggest reason for the Green Wave's offensive turnaround. Will lose Dontrell Hilliard next year, but running the triple option should keep this offense going. Backup Jonathan Brantley is a solid option too.
Gardner Minshew, QB, ECU - He won the starting job late in the season, and showed some signs of greatness despite team struggling mightily. Finished with 2,140 yards with 16 touchdowns and seven interceptions passing.
Frank Nutile, QB, Temple - Owls needed a change at quarterback, and Nutile took off with his opportunity. Year two under Geoff Collins will be interesting.
Kevin Mensah/Nate Hopkins, RB, UConn - Like ECU, a lot needs to change for these two freshman to be considered even the best in the conference. So let's see the Huskies win more than three games first.
Khalil Lewis, WR, Cincinnati - Lewis was a bright spot in an otherwise average offense. His success next year, unfortunately, relies on the improvement at quarterback.

Pair of Dairy Goat Management Programs on Dec. 14
Producers will have opportunity to learn how to fine-tune their operation
November 5, 2019, 9:14 am | Fred M. Hall, Jennifer Bentley
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will host a pair of "Fine-Tuning Your Dairy Goat Management" meetings as a part of their annual Dairy Directions program on Saturday, Dec. 14. The meetings will be held at the ISU Extension and Outreach, Sioux County office in Orange City and the Keystone AEA in Elkader.
The programs will focus on managing forages, utilizing health strategies, improving milk quality, implementing business practices and dealing with the challenges of managing dairy goats. There will also be a producer panel at both events. All dairy goat producers are welcome.
"We have over 200 licensed dairies producing goat milk in Iowa, but most of those in northwest Iowa process their milk into soaps and lotions," said Fred M. Hall, dairy specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. "The high level of interest by producers in improving production and quality prompted this program."
The meetings came about after the ISU Extension and Outreach dairy team completed a statewide survey of producers to determine what the dairies look like and what their interest in programing is.
"Hopefully this will be the first of regular programs for our dairy goat producers,"
said Jennifer Bentley, dairy specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach.
Both meetings will feature similar programs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., so dairy goat producers can simply select the location that works best for them. Registration will open at 9:30 a.m. before each meeting.
There is a $5 per person registration fee to attend the program, which includes lunch, materials and all presentations. Register online at https://form.jotform.com/4Hregion1/dairy-directions-2019-goats or via phone at 712-737-4230 (for Orange City) or 563-382-2949 (for Elkader). The deadline to register is Dec. 6.
Additional sponsors for the program include the Iowa Dairy Goat Association and Big Gain Feeds.

Celtic are strong favourites, but Rangers have shown they have what it takes to win Sunday's League Cup semi-final according to Lee McCulloch.
The Scottish Championship side have knocked three top-flight sides out of cup competitions this season.
"They weren't easy games, but the way we played gives us confidence," the Rangers captain told BBC Scotland.
"Against Kilmarnock, I thought we were brilliant - the way we pressed them and made them make mistakes."
Premiership sides Inverness Caledonian Thistle and St Johnstone have also lost to a Rangers team whose indifferent league form has left them trailing leaders Hearts by 13 points.
It is the first meeting between the Glasgow rivals for nearly three years since financial problems led to the Ibrox outfit playing in Scotland's bottom tier.
But McCulloch rejects the suggestion that Premiership players play at a quicker pace and have greater fitness than those in the Championship, thus handing Celtic an advantage on top of the quality that led them to the Scottish title.
"Obviously Celtic for this one are resounding favourites, so we are just looking to give a good account of ourselves and hopefully get through to the final," said the 36-year-old former Motherwell and Wigan Athletic striker who now plays in defence.
"Form goes out of the window as this is a one-off.
"It's up to us to try to prove people wrong about their opinion and persona of where we're at just now and show we have got character in the dressing-room and that we have got leaders that can lead a dressing-room to an Old Firm victory.
"Out last two games have been called off. There is a danger we could be rusty, but I think the boys will be ready after a hard week's training."
Rangers go into the game with a backdrop of boardroom battles and emergency loans being required to keep the club from going out of business.
"You need to cut yourself off from anything that happens off the pitch and focus on our goal of getting the club up to the top league," stressed McCulloch.
"It will be a great experience for the players who have not played in one before."
McCulloch, who says victory would be so much sweeter as he is also a Rangers fan, is a veteran of Old Firm derbies and fondly remembers his first - a 3-0 win at Ibrox in October 2007.
"I will never forget walking down the tunnel and the place was bouncing," he said.
"Hampden is a different kind of atmosphere to Celtic Park and Ibrox. The fans are a wee bit further away, but it will still be noisy.
"It is a semi-final and there's a place in the final up for grabs, but we will approach it the way we always have.
"It is just another Old Firm game and everyone knows the consequences if you get beat.
"I love them and they are even better afterwards if you win and I've been under my bed for a few days after a defeat."

John Tresch's beautiful new book charts a series of transformations that collectively ushered in a new cosmology in the Paris of the early-mid nineteenth century. The Romantic Machine: Utopian Science and Technology after Napoleon (University of Chicago Press, 2012) narrates the emergence of a new image of the machine, a new concept of nature, a new theory of knowledge, and a new political orientation through a series of chapters that each use the work of a single figure to open up a world of romantic machines.

Q: Distinguishing Even and Odd Numbers with Recursion I have a problem that I'm having a tough time figuring out, figured I would see if someone could point me in the right direction.
I am writing a recursive method(s) that takes an int for it's parameter, then displays all squared values of the odd numbers (top down) then all squared values of the even numbers (again top down)
E.g 6 would output

25, 9, 1, 36, 16, 4

My approach would be to have 3 methods. One int recursiveOdd(int num) that would calculate and output to console the squared values of odd. One int recursiveEven(int num) that would calculate and output to console the squared values of even. And one method void passToRecursive(int num) that simply takes the number and calls the other two methods.
My question is how do I approach the first method, finding the highest odd number then finding the highest even number without using a loop.
Obviously, the max number is going to be whatever int was passed from main.
I simply can't think of how I would find the highest odd w/o a loop.

A: If the given number is N, then the highest even number is found by taking half, truncating, and multiplying by 2:
(N / 2) * 2

The highest odd number is a little trickier: subtract 1, find the highest even number for that, and then add 1:
((N-1) / 2) * 2 + 1

That gives you your two numbers (truncate / floor as needed).  Now, for the recursion: you need your base case (finishing condition) and your recursion case.
Base case: if N <= 0, return without printing anything.
Recursion: print N*N; recur with the value (N-2).
By the way, note that the recursive routine is identical for the odd and even cases: you need only one recursive routine. Call it twice from the passTo routine, once each with the odd and even numbers you found at the start.
Finally, please consider changing the name passToRecursive.  It's a little misleading, since it is not, itself, a recursive routine; it's merely a handler. Someone calling it doesn't care that it has recursive subroutines. Instead, give it a name descriptive of what it does.

A: If you are looking for poiner in the right direction, try transforming this into C++
function oddSquare(int value) {
  if (value mod 2 == 0) value --;
  if (value > 0) {  /* Stop when we get too small */
    print value * value;
    oddSquare(--value); /* Decrement to next lower value and recurse
  }
}

A: We beginners should help each other.:)
I can suggest a solution that is based on using a static variable inside the recursive function.
Here is a demonstrative program.
#include <iostream>

void OddEvenSquares( unsigned int n )
{
    static unsigned long long int even;

    if ( n != 0 )
    {
        if ( n % 2 )
        {
            std::cout << static_cast<unsigned long long int>( n ) * n << ' ';
            OddEvenSquares( n - 1 );
        }
        else
        {
            even += 2;
            OddEvenSquares( n - 1 );
            std::cout << even * even << ' ';
            even -= 2;
        }
    }
}

int main()
{
    const unsigned int N = 10;

    for ( unsigned int i = 1; i <= N; i++ )
    {
        OddEvenSquares( i );
        std::cout << std::endl;
    }
}

Its output is
1
1 4
9 1 4
9 1 16 4
25 9 1 16 4
25 9 1 36 16 4
49 25 9 1 36 16 4
49 25 9 1 64 36 16 4
81 49 25 9 1 64 36 16 4
81 49 25 9 1 100 64 36 16 4

Or the function can have a second parameter with a default argument.
For example
#include <iostream>

std::ostream & OddEvenSquares( unsigned int n, std::ostream &os = std::cout )
{
    static unsigned long long int even;

    if ( n != 0 )
    {
        if ( n % 2 )
        {
            std::cout << static_cast<unsigned long long int>( n ) * n << ' ';
            OddEvenSquares( n - 1, os );
        }
        else
        {
            even += 2;
            OddEvenSquares( n - 1, os );
            os << even * even << ' ';
            even -= 2;
        }
    }

    return os;
}

int main()
{
    const unsigned int N = 10;

    for ( unsigned int i = 1; i <= N; i++ )
    {
        OddEvenSquares( i ) << std::endl;
    }
}

The program output will be the same as shown above.
As for your approach when there are two separate recursive functions for odd and even numbers then function passToRecursive can look the following way
void passToRecursive( int num )
{
    if ( num > 0 )
    {
        int odd, even;

        if ( num % 2 )
        {
            odd = num;
            even = odd - 1;
        }
        else
        {
            even = num;
            odd = even - 1;
        }

        recursiveOdd( odd );
        recursiveEven( even );
    }
}

You may change the inner if-else statement to the conditional operator. For example
void passToRecursive( int num )
{
    if ( num > 0 )
    {
        int odd, even;

        num % 2 ? ( odd  = num, even = odd  - 1 )
                : ( even = num, odd  = even - 1 );

        recursiveOdd( odd );
        recursiveEven( even );
    }
}

In fact you even do not need to define two recursive functions because their bodies can be the same.
So function passToRecursive can look like
void passToRecursive( int num )
{
    if ( num > 0 )
    {
        int odd, even;

        num % 2 ? ( odd  = num, even = odd  - 1 )
                : ( even = num, odd  = even - 1 );

        recursiveSquares( odd );
        recursiveSquares( even );
    }
}

Pay attention to this statement
std::cout << static_cast<unsigned long long int>( n ) * n << ' ';

The product of two integers can be greater than the maximum value that can be stored in type int or unsigned int. So you need to use some larger integer type as for example long long int or unsigned long long int for the product.
As usually my answer is the best.:)

The Hidden But Essential Functions Of The Septic Tank System
Plumbing	| March 20, 2013
The septic system is a grimy, dirty, and out of sight world. But researching the system's total package is an alluring study into the unknown, a place where only the toughest people can go. We don't mean literally, of course- or at least for the most part. But the whole idea of the septic system turns people away, rightfully so, and makes it an exploratory cavern of intrigue for those who want to dive in head first.
The septic tank system is far more often traveled than one may think. For one, there is a certain level of maintenance that has to be maintained. The septic system does not just build itself and work forever. It takes patience and hard work to get the system working effectively. On another note, it takes some serious funding. No civilized city can go without a proper septic system. There is an instilled sense of control that needs to be sustained. This includes proper barricading. It includes the precautionary methods to forestall any possible natural catastrophe. It includes using the appropriate chemical balances to make sure the septic content is being handled properly, and being disposed of carefully.
People truly underestimate these issues. It is out of sight and hence, out of mind. More often than not, we flush to toilet and go about our business, despite how bizarre and quirky of a thought this. It is the truth. People simply don't have the time, or the obligation to think about these things. Like a town dump, it's surrounded by fences and out of sight. In this case, it's far away and partly underground.
But what makes the septic system so fascinating is its lack of mainstream approach. People simply do not know much about it. This makes it attractive, a word you never thought would be associated with septic. It is an excellent field to move into because it is absolutely essential. As well, it is being evolved on a weekly basis, and is a job of protecting the people from the unknown catastrophes, diseases, and ugliness that lie below the surface.
This is not bid for hire. This is simply a thought exercise, an approach in allowing you to think about these things. The septic tank systems in Lawrenceville show a murkier underside to the city, one that through careful maintenance and repair can safely perform its vital role outside the public view.

The Federal Reserve announced that it would not raise interest rates for 2019 and it does not look like they plan for any rate hikes until next year. An inverted yield curve in the U.S. is alarming the Fed and investors all over as it shows signs of an oncoming recessionary period and slower growth of the global economy. The USD retains a firm position versus its major currency peers however remains contained to the broader ranges in place in recent months, also there is skepticism around gains extending beyond the short-term period.
Global oil prices have recovered with upward price action that has occurred every month of this year. Crude oil increased net 7% over opening and closing prices for the month of March. Geopolitical concerns continue regarding the course of the Venezuelan power outage and the US-China trade talks which could impact oil supplies and prices. The CAD performed poorly against the USD again in March as the trend continued in 2019. Falling interest rate spreads and an inverted yield curve in the U.S. were likely to blame for the loonie's struggles this month. BoC will look to change their approach regarding Canadian Interest rates as reports of weak economic activity and GDP pour in. Markets are now projecting rate cuts from BoC to help elevate the CAD.
The Federal Reserve's announcement in March with regards to policymaking was to hold interest rates steady this year by indicating no hikes will be coming this year. Just three months earlier the central bank projected two hikes would be appropriate for 2019. The Fed's hawk to dove shift reflects its concern on their domestic economy and the global economy. The Fed is also concerned about the possibility of an inverted yield curve because the last three recessions were preceded by an inversion of the yield curve. Despite the Fed's dovish message in March, the US dollar was still able to gain due to a slowing world economy, higher risk aversion and further loosening of monetary policy by other major central banks. If trade-related uncertainties dissipate and the global economy bounces back, it could weigh on the greenback.
The loonie performed underwhelmingly against the USD again in March, marking the largest monthly drop since the start of the year. Despite oil prices being on an upwards trend, the effect on the Canadian dollar was countered by worsening Canada-U.S. interest rate spreads. Interest rate differentials explains why the CAD is falling and it looks to stay in this position for now. Recently sluggish economic data and GDP results have resulted in BoC to rethink their expectations about Canadian interest rates. We do expect the economy to bounce back in the second quarter of the year overcoming the 18Q4-19Q1 soft patch along with a U.S rebound while oil production targets return to normal. Markets are now preparing for a high probability of rate cuts by the Boc by September 2019 helping to elevate the CAD.
While oil prices have seen range bound actions, the price of US Crude oil in the global market has seen monthly upward price action every month this year. In the month of March spot US Crude oil increased over 7% in value when comparing the monthly open and close prices. OPEC's enforcement of production and supply cut agreement has steadily helped improve the supply to demand ratio in the global market which has served as a long-term supporting factor for crude oil bulls. In March crude oil was also positively supported by optimism surrounding Sino-US trade talks and headlines stating crude oil output and exports from Venezuela was down by 60% due to US sanctions being imposed. However, crude oil price gains have been capped by weekly US stockpile data indicating high crude oil inventories.

SOAC emphasizes collaboration to combat over-programming
Students made 10,246 event reservations last year.
College Government (CG) Vice President Charlotte Harris noted a growing problem of over-programming at Wellesley during presidents' training last month. Last year, 2,227 curricular events, 4,365 special events and 2,384 student activities took place. In total, students made 10,246 reservations last year and 470 reservation requests had already been processed this year by mid-September. Each year, Wellesley's student activities fee of $276 per student sums to approximately $600,000 to be allocated to student organizations by the student bursar.
As student organizations request funding for a greater number of events, the Student Organizations Funding Committee (SOFC) must apportion money to a greater number of organizations. Often, organizations do not receive what they believe to be adequate funding for their events. With less funding, each event may be lower in quality as compared to fewer, better funded events. The problem may exacerbate stuents' stress associated with planning organization-sponsored events.
The Student Organization and Appointments Committee (SOAC) blames over-programming for the underfunding of well-attended events and an excess of minimally attended events. On a survey conducted last year of students who hold executive board positions, students on average rated pressure to host events as "moderately high." Many consider community time on Wednesdays to be a major contributor to the overall issue, since many events go unattended due to overestimation in student participation.
Harris expressed her concern with the growing problem of over-programming at Wellesley and offered suggestions from SOAC. Harris's main suggestion to address over-programming is for organizations to host fewer events.
"Stressing udents feel like they need to [host events] to be a leader on campus," Harris said. "Meanwhile, it's really quality over quantity. A great event is better than an unattended one."
Should each organization hold one less event per year, 160 fewer events would require funding from the available funding. A reduction of 160 events is miniscule compared to number of events students held last year, which is to over 10,000 events.
"That's insane," Harris emphasized, "and people don't know [over-programming] is a problem until they see those numbers.''
Harris also suggested that organizations "do less and collaborate more," to avoid, for example, having lectures that are similar in theme or events with 10 attendees. "Each co-hosted event doubles outreach and resources," Harris noted, "and should orgs collaborate, they could instead bring in fewer, much better speakers, host larger parties, or have a more widely-attended dance exhibition."
SOAC is currently looking for ways to incentivize collaboration in the coming semester. However, their plans will require organizations to respect the honor code and not find ways to circumvent new rules. In the past, many students found ways to evade fundraising requirements set by SOFC, enough so that requirements were removed.
Caroline Bechtel '17, executive board member of ALLIES, which facilitates conversations about civil-military issues, commented on the effects of over-programming on events.
"There is definitely a pressure to put on events — it affects the way I promote our own events. There's a competition which forces me to advertise more and recruit more, and I think there are too many orgs that serve the same purpose," Bechtel said.
Ianka Bhatia '18 suggested measures to streamline the funding process for organizations.
"Perhaps it would be better if we ensured there was adequate interest in each event before granting the money," she said. "In this way, the concern with perpetuated traditional events would be eliminated, and orgs would be forced to reinvent themselves for better outreach."
Over-programming is not unique to Wellesley. Discussions among the Seven Sister colleges, set to occur again in November, have uncovered a widespread problem with over-programming and interorganizational competition that adds to overall student stress. Wellesley's large number of organizations per student is also noted as a contributing factor to the growing problem. The college has a very high number of student organizations relative to peer institutions like Bryn Mawr College with 1,700 students and Smith College with 2,600 students. These colleges both offer approximately 100 student organizations. Meanwhile, Wellesley, with about 2,500 students, has over 160 constituted organizations.
Some students have not felt the harmful effects of over-programming.
"I'm on the e-board of Spectrum and we had to move the dates of our two major events a few times because there are so many things going on, but I think the number of events adds to campus life," Nina-Marie Amadeo '18 said. "One of the things I love about Wellesley is how easy it is to find something you're interested in and meet people who share the same interest, usually through events."
SOFC and SOAC hold that for Wellesley to continue hosting high-quality events with a limited budget, students must be proactive in their approach to college funding and collaborative when planning events.

The new Steve Jobs film is not going to feature the typical Silicon Valley look we've grown accustomed to, with the Mark Zuckerberg basics like a gray t-shirt or the button up shirt and hoodie combo seen in Mike Judge's HBO hit series. No, Steve Jobs will be taking it back to the dawn of the Apple era in the 1980s and 1990s, and for the film to set up in this time period, they need extras with lots of hair that can pull off those funky '80s hairstyles.
"Production's strongest need is for Men 18-40s with flexible schedules and comb-able length hair and/or men willing to grow their hair, facial hair, sideburns to match 80s-90s time periods. Women should have natural hair colors, no chunky highlights or ultra modern styles. Overall for men and women, curls, waves and volume are a plus. Production will provide haircuts as needed."
Sounds like production is taking the time setting very seriously, and wants to portray it as historically accurate as possible. I mean to be that specific with something as simple as hair means that the film is going to be a total flashback. And '80s hair was the best. When I think of '80s hair, pretty much every Molly Ringwald movie comes to mind. She always rocked the short-but-voluminous red hair, but her supporting actors all rocked some incredible dos too.
There's The Breakfast Club crew, who all had thick and beautiful mops on their heads.
Or Ducky's absolutely incredible pompadour-inspired hairstyle in Pretty in Pink.
And of course, Jake Ryan's shiny black, gently moussed hair that looked as if it was styled by the gods in Sixteen Candles.
If you are rocking any of these hairstyles, 30 years after they were in style, there's finally a reason they are acceptable. Or if not, and you have been blessed with thick, voluptuous hair, it can be easily styled into one of these funky old-school hairdos. So if either of these apply, then you could be the perfect fit for an '80s extra.
The new film will be directed by Danny Boyle and star Michael Fassbender. Katherine Waterston and Seth Rogen are also on board for the project, and it will be based on Walter Isaacson's biography, Steve Jobs. Look out for more information on production and scheduled release dates.

USTR Lighthizer Comments on NAFTA/USMCA State-State DS Panel Blocking
This is from an exchange between Senator Carper and U.S. Trade Representative Lighthizer at a Senate Finance Committee hearing today (starts at 2:03:07):
Senator Carper: "My second question revolves around USMCA dispute settlement. The state-to-state dispute settlement system in the new NAFTA continues to allow for panel blocking – as I understand it, the main reason a dispute settlement panel hasn't been established, since maybe the early 2000s. The Trans-Pacific Partnership made changes, I believe, to fix panel blocking, but these improvements were not included in the new NAFTA. From the Statement of Administrative Action the administration sent to Congress, it appears that the White House plans to use Section 301 tariffs to unilaterally enforce USMCA provisions when a dispute occurs. I would just ask if you could explain to us briefly why using Section 301, which will very likely invite retaliation from Canada and Mexico is preferable to a binding dispute system that does not allow panel blocking?"
Amb. Lighthizer: "Well, thank you Senator. First of all, I would point out the obvious, and that is that panel blocking is permitted under the current NAFTA as well as under USMCA. So anyone objectively looking at distinguishing between the two and deciding to vote against the second because of -- there's an improvement in the first -- couldn't find that. So, what we did is we kept the current provision. Now, why did we keep… Let me say first of all you're right that there hasn't been any in a while, in this context. The reason for that is that people have tended to go to the WTO to enforce those rights and there's been a number of WTO cases. So second, why did we not make that change? Our view is that we can enforce our laws in the rare circumstance where there was a blockage by using our unilateral law and the 301. 301 says you should go the international organization or the agreement for enforcement if there is a violation of a trade agreement, or the WTO in this case. If the other side blocks, the position you would take is that thus you've exhausted your remedies and therefore you could legally use 301. So that's, like, the nature of it.
And why did we do that? Number one, we think it will be very rarely used. But in a situation where, for example, someone challenged the trade laws of the United States and made some argument about that, about the viability of the trade laws, you want to be in a position where you can preserve your rights. But this is something I am perfectly happy to work with members on and see where members draw their line. It was clearly a U.S. ask, it wasn't an ask from the other side. The other side since they had signed up for TPP, presumably they would be happy to go along with it."
This is the longest statement I've heard from Lighthizer on the issue of NAFTA/USMCA panel blocking. It provides some interesting details that help clarify USTR's position:
- Lighthizer acknowledges that panel blocking is permitted under USMCA. (Previously he said this: "The text of Chapter 31 of the United States – Mexico – Canada Agreement (USMCA) is not meant to allow panel blocking.")
- Lighthizer wants to maintain panel blocking in case U.S. "trade laws" are challenged. What kind of trade laws does he have in mind? Trade remedies? There aren't many USMCA rules that would apply here. (Is he thinking about NAFTA Chapter 19/USMCA Chapter 10 here? No panels have been blocked in that context as far as I know). Section 232 actions? These are obvious violations, but the security exception would apply. I hope someone follows up with him about what particular challenges he is worried about.
- Maintaining the ability to block panels was a "U.S. ask." (We know that already -- see p. 3 here, where Mexico's lead negotiator explains that Mexico made proposals to fix the NAFTA flaws.)
- Lighthizer is willing to talk to Congress about adjusting this.
My suggestion for members of Congress who want to make sure USMCA is enforceable -- for trade, labor, or other obligations -- is to go to Lighthizer and demand that the USMCA dispute settlement provisions be fixed, so that panel blocking is no longer allowed. Inu and I made suggestions in this regard in response to a different Congressional hearing that took place recently: https://object.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/pubs/pdf/lester-manak-public-letter-june-4-2019.pdf.
ADDED: This issue came up again at a House Ways and Means Committee hearing the next day (starts at 2:46:30):
Rep. Boyle: "So that's a perfect segue into a conversation on enforcement, because when I was first elected to the state legislature over a decade ago, I thought I had an agreement with someone and a wise, 30-year veteran let me know there's a difference between a promise and an agreement, and that difference is the extent to which it can be enforced. So specifically on enforcement, could you explain why the administration seems to still be skeptical about having a binding dispute settlement mechanism?"
Amb. Lighthizer: "So I would say first of all I want to just say what I said many times, just very briefly: I want to work this out, I want to do it quickly, I think I can do it in an afternoon with the group that the speaker has identified. So, we believe the thing has to be enforceable for sure, so what you're talking about is panel blocking. All right, so the question is: do you want to have the right in a rare circumstance where someone challenges something of particular importance to you, not on a regular basis, but it's particularly important to you, do you want to have the right to block that panel if you have another way to still enforce your own rights. That's where we were trying to find that balance. So the question is: what's the risk that, for example, you're going to have a problem with a challenge to the trade laws. We have a challenge of the trade laws under the WTO. The trade laws are fundamental to all these workers that we're all talking about getting laws against unfair trade and the question is do you… that's the balance that I'm trying to strike here, but I want to work it out with the members. I want members to be happy. If members say, "no, I don't care about that balance," then I'll consider that."
With regard to "panel blocking," the term means just what it sounds like it does: The party complained against can block a panel from being appointed, and therefore any enforcement action is stopped. Lighthizer keeps making reference to "the trade laws," probably meaning AD/CVD or similar laws, which are sensitive issues for the administration. For Mexico, labor might be a sensitive issue; for Canada, agriculture might be sensitive. For members of Congress looking for the proper balance here, the question is whether they want to make certain that these sensitive areas are enforceable against Canada and Mexico. I don't know for sure whether Canada or Mexico would block a panel. But the United States blocked a NAFTA panel in the past, and with Lighthizer indicating that it might do so again for "the trade laws," it wouldn't be too shocking if Canada and Mexico did so as well. The bottom line is that if members of Congress want certainty that USMCA obligations can be enforced against Canada and Mexico, they should push for changes to the USMCA so that panel blocking does not take place.

Q: Parameter type checking different in call signature vs function type expression I noticed a difference in how the arguments are type-checked between the different syntax of function types in TypeScript.
type TypeA = {
  callback(value?: string): void,
}

type TypeB = {
  callback: (value?: string) => void,
}

function foo (value: string) {}

const a: TypeA = {
 // No error
 callback: foo,
}

// Property 'callback' is missing in type '{}'
// but required in type 'TypeA'
const a2: TypeA = {
}

const b: TypeB = {
  // Type '(value: string) => void' is not assignable to
  // type '(value?: string | undefined) => void'.
  callback: foo,
}

Here's the typescript playground link
The call signature function type happily accepts a function with param value: string, while the function type expression complaints that it is not exactly value: string | undefined.
I would've expected a type error in both the cases.
Why is the call signature syntax more relaxed about the argument type?

Nutshell Review: The Cheat (1932)
Director: George Abbott
Starring: Tallulah Bankhead, Harvey Stephens, Irving Richel
Studio: Paramount
Viewing: DVD Pre-Code Hollywood Collection. Universal Home Entertainment
Plot: Jeffrey Carlyle (Stephens) is a milquetoast stock broker madly in love with his gambling addicted wife Elsa (Bankhead). After significant gambling losses at their posh club, Elsa must embezzle $10,000 from her women's charity in order to meet part of her debt (she also loses $10k on a get rich quick stock bet that goes bust). Mysterious millionaire Hardy Livingstone, fresh from 2 years in the Orient and clearly smitten with Elsa, offers a potential way out, but she must prove herself to him first. She agrees to go to his home, discovering his obsession with all things Japanese, including a collection of dolls that are branded with the character "I possess", fighting off his clumsy advances. Livingstone's request of her, dripping with menace, is to wear a beaded gown & headdress to a charity ball he is hosting, appropriately themed in an Asian motif. Convincing her puppy dog husband that Livingstone only means to help raise money takes a little bit of doing, as Jeffrey is slightly concerned that Livingstone's intentions may not be pure, which they clearly are not!
At the party Livingstone ogles Elsa, finally luring her to his office to offer her the $10,000 to cover her remaining debt…only if she "treats him nicer" and to return to his home at a later date to express her "gratitude". She reluctantly accepts, desperate to avoid personal humiliation and her husband's public disgrace. As luck would have it the following morning Jeffry strikes it rich and money is no longer a problem for the couple. He even pays off her gambling debt and agrees to give her more if she needs it. Unfortunately, having already taken Livingstone's money, she must return to his house than evening…
Once there (with Jeffery tailing her) she offers to give Livingstone his money back, but he's already branded an Elsa look-a-like doll with the possessive symbol, signifying ownership. When she denies him the "favors" he has paid for he insists on branding her as his own! Pulling the red hot brand from the smoldering coals, he burns the initials on her upper chest and proclaims her as his own. Stumbling across the room, Elsa grabs a gun and shoots Livingstone, fleeing the house in a panic, just as Jeffry arrives on the scene. Seeing Livingstone on the floor with the gun beside him, Jeffry wipes it clean just as servants open the door. Jeffry proclaims his guilt as Livingstone struggles to speak, uttering only 2 words, "your wife."
In Court Jeffry is ready to take the fall, convinced no court will convict him, a love sick puppy to a fault. As things are clearly going against him, Elsa races to the stand, proclaims Jeffry's innocence & bears the branding that Livingstone has burned into her flesh! The court erupts, Jeffry is freed and the couple are allowed to live happily ever after, with Elsa proclaiming "no more betting!" How the scar on her breast is dealt with is never addressed because Jeffry insists on staring deeply into his wife's eyes only.
To say that a film where a human being is branded is salacious is a bit of an understatement. It's crazy to watch, however, because the idea of it is planted in an earlier scene (when he shows the dolls to Elsa) and the initial reaction has to be that it can't really happen. When Richel, in a wonderfully twisted performance, brands the Elsa doll, it initially placates the viewer's expectations. It's creepy enough that he views sexual conquests through possession, but to inflict physical disfigurement into the equation really kicks it up a notch. By couching his proclivities in the "other", by making him an Asia-phile, for instance, removes the question of insanity and into the realm of cultural prejudice. His party serves merely to reflect & exploit every gross American idea of Asian Stereotypes. It's an odd underlying motif to be sure.
The courtwroom scene at the conclusion has all the trappings of 1930's melodrama, but after the verdict is rendered an "all hell breaks loose" mania comes over the crown as they leap at Livingstone, pummelling him into submission. Perhaps the sight of the uppper breat of a lovely lady, albeit one who has just admitted infidelity, is enough to drive the men crazy!

Random Notes & Quotes:


If you've been online in the past few days, you've probably seen the horrific images of the massive wildfire that engulfed the city of Fort McMurray Alberta. Record setting heat, low humidity, very dry conditions and high winds kicked up a massive blaze on the outskirts of Fort McMurray earlier this week. It was over 32 degrees Celsius on Tuesday. I grew up in Calgary Alberta, 600 km south of Fort McMurray and temperatures this warm are very rare and usually only occur in July.
As the fire picked up early on Tuesday, our FirstLook team at DigitalGlobe started acquiring satellite imagery and we began tracking the fire from space. This was in the morning, at the time the fire was on the outskirts of the town and voluntary evacuations were taking place in a few neighborhoods. Things got crazy after that afternoon as winds blew in at 70km/hr, and the fire grew fast and unpredictable. A mandatory evacuation was put in place for the entire city. This is unprecedented; the fire is still burning and this is expected to be the costliest natural disaster in Canada's recorded history. To put this in perspective, the worst disaster in Alberta's history took place during the floods of 2013 and caused $1.8B in damage. This fire is expected to be over $9B.
DigitalGlobe has collected imagery every day this week, from multiple satellites in order to track and analyze the growth, and identify damage. We are working with first responders, relief workers and provincial governments to ensure this data is in the hands of decision makers, and those who can make a difference on the ground. It is critical to understand the landscape in a time like this; actively identifying passable roads and impacted areas can save resources and time. As the fire continues to blaze, we are using short wave infrared imagery (SWIR) to "cut" through the smoke and identify the active footprint and burning hotspots. This can help mitigate additional flare-ups and help suppress the wildfire.
Sadly, over 1600 structures are expected to be lost at this point. Using infrared imagery from our satellites we can easily see healthy vegetation in bright red and dead/burnt vegetation in dark colors. We can also see structures that have been lost; the devastation is clear, striking and terrifying.
If this story isn't scary enough, check out the fire danger map from Natural Resources Canada, much of the Canadian Great Plains are in extreme or very high fire risk. This is shaping up to be a long, dangerous fire season. We will be monitoring the situation every day from space and collecting more imagery like the above as needed. Our thoughts are with all those impacted by these fires and hope everyone in Western Canada is safe.

Karakata is the longest-established settlement of the three, and developed as residents from elsewhere in the city moved further out in search of more affordable land and rent prices. Considering Karakata's close proximity to Julius Nyerere International Airport, as well as its diverse array of livelihood activities, the value of the land is currently rising at a rapid rate. Residents face big issues such as sanitation and access to medical services, and the rapid erosion of the river in the area presents a grave environmental threat. Students assigned to this site have been working on ideas such as community-led environmental risk assessments and a more sustainable model for the Federation's waste-disposal system.
In Chamazi, Federation members formed a housing cooperative to collectively purchase a plot of land to build homes for those who were evicted by the government from Kurasini Ward in 2008, due to the expansion of the port area. However, since the project began in 2009, many houses have not been completed and a high percentage of families have yet to move to the site. One hypothesis for this has been that Chamazi's distance from the city center (sometimes 3-4 hours with traffic) means much fewer livelihood and employment opportunities. But the Chamazi site is not as isolated as it once was; in only the past few years the area around Chamazi town has grown rapidly, bringing new businesses, markets and services. UDP students have been exploring the seeming disconnect between the housing site and the town, along with the financing of the housing project to understand how it can remain affordable and viable.
Mabwepande is another peri-urban site for relocated people, however in this case the government allocated land for victims of flooding in the more central Suna zone. At the moment the area feels rural and many residents use the non built-up space for agricultural purposes, but we have yet to see how increased development of the area and new pressures on land will affect them. As the Federation has only just begun working in this site, Mabwepande had yet to be mapped in a way that was accessible to its residents. Along with conducting interviews and focus groups to begin to build a larger picture of the Mabwepande community, students created maps with the help of community members to be shared on the site. These three sites are illuminating important citywide processes, such as the uncertain institutional relationships that govern the urban poor's access to land (for example, there is no clear resettlement policy that might guide the relocation of people like in Chamazi and Mabwepande).
Finally, there is the challenge of gathering reliable data in a city that is growing so rapidly, in a context where certain forms of knowledge are not recognized. The field trip focuses on the way knowledge is built at the local level as students learn from the Federation model of settlement profiling, enumeration, and mapping. In return, students offer input and experiences from their diverse home countries to try and support community-led processes of co-production of housing, land development, and knowledge.

Behind Closed Doors: The Sex Life of Barnacles
Patches of barnacles blanket the rocky surfaces in and around Oregon's marine reserves, and hide fascinating life history secrets. We've invited guest author, filmmaker, and photographer Stephen Grace to share some of his photos and insights on barnacles with us.
By Stephen Grace – author, filmmaker and photographer
Scoured by waves and scorched by sun, the shells of gooseneck barnacles (Pollicipes polymerus) whiten in the intertidal zone. I tend to overlook these drab crustaceans that attach themselves to rocks and feed by filtering seawater. On rare occasions, however, I find gooseneck barnacles in sheltered stashes safe from direct sunlight and crashing surf, and their protected shells shine like gemstones. When I touch the jeweled shells, these relatives of crabs, lobsters, and shrimps swivel their leathery necks.
Unlike acorn barnacles (Balanus sp.) that encrust hard surfaces of the intertidal zone, gooseneck barnacles can bend their long necks back and forth. But all adult barnacles, whether acorn or gooseneck, are forever fixed in one location, head down and feet up.
Gooseneck Barnacle (Photo by Stephen Grace)
A barnacle begins its life as a larva that moves freely through the ocean. Unlike its crustacean cousins that continue their free-ranging lives, the barnacle becomes anchored in place, like a person who sows his wild oats and then settles down. How a barnacle settles is remarkable. It glues its head to a hard surface with a cement so strong it has inspired dental surgery adhesives. The creature's feet metamorphose into feathery feeding appendages known as cirri. When submerged, a barnacle uses its cirri to comb the water, capturing plankton and tiny bits of dead matter.
The barnacle's strategy of living on its head and eating with its feet allows it to survive predation by fish and other creatures. Barnacle cirri that are eaten can grow back; if the animal poked its head out of its shell instead of its feet, it would be killed.
After attaching itself to a hard surface, a barnacle builds a shell fortress it never leaves, becoming a prisoner in a calcareous castle. Though a barnacle has a hard exoskeleton like other crustaceans, its shell (or "test" as scientists prefer) provides extra protection from both predators and the elements. When the tide recedes, a barnacle pulls its cirri inside and closes up its shell with plates that shut like a trapdoor, shielding the creature from dry air and sealing in moisture. To prevent its body from drying out, a barnacle circulates the seawater stored within its shell, creating the crackling and popping sounds heard in sea caves and around rock walls when the tide is out.
Like all other crustaceans, a barnacle molts as it grows. Though its shell remains anchored in place, its body inside the shell sheds its exoskeleton. Barnacle molts that wash up in the driftline or sink to the bottom of tidepools look like reddish-amber shrimp.
Acorn barnacles anchor their shells directly to rocks or other hard surfaces. Gooseneck barnacles attach themselves to hard surfaces with peduncles—the flexible stalks that give the creatures their snakelike appearance. Peduncles allow gooseneck barnacles to aim their cirri into current when they feed. The pelagic gooseneck barnacle (Lepas anatifera), a species that attaches to logs and other flotsam that washes ashore, swivels its neck. Clusters of the stranded creatures sway back and forth, as if searching for the sea.
Adult barnacles secrete compounds that attract larvae, creating densely populated clusters. Living packed together in groups allows barnacles to fertilize each other's eggs internally. Relative to their body size, barnacles have the largest penises of any animal—and every barnacle has a penis.
Barnacles are hermaphroditic: each creature has both male and female sex organs. A barnacle reaches over to inseminate its neighbor, using a penis that inflates up to eight times the length of its body—a different strategy from the method used by mussels. Like barnacles, mussels anchor themselves to hard surfaces and can't move around to find a mate. Mussels, however, reproduce by broadcasting their eggs and sperm into the water to mix.
Scientists recently discovered that barnacles can change the size and shape of their penis to best suit the water conditions. Long, thin penises perform best in calm water; short, stout penises are optimal in turbulent seas. Less salacious but equally fascinating is the idea of barnacles as parents: they brood their fertilized eggs within their shells. Charles Darwin was so fascinated by barnacle reproduction that he studied the creatures on a daily basis for eight years before publishing his groundbreaking book On the Origin of Species.
