Liquid crystals (LCs) are used in a number of optical devices including lasers. However, until now, only relatively simple LC structures have been employed inside laser cavities. LCs enable the self-assembly of extremely complex birefringent structures, which would be impossible to manufacture in any other way. LC molecules also orient the emission dipoles of the dye, delivering efficient gain only to modes with the desired polarization. Further, due to sensitivity of the LCs to external stimuli, they enable large tunability. This study provides experimental and simulation insights into coupling of light with the complex LC topological superstructures inside a laser cavity, realizing nontrivial intensity and polarization of the generated structured light.
Liquid crystals (LCs) form an extremely rich range of self-assembled topological structures with artificially or naturally created topological defects. Some of the main applications of LCs are various optical and photonic devices, where compared to their solid-state counterparts, soft photonic systems are fundamentally different in terms of unique properties such as self-assembly, self-healing, large tunability, sensitivity to external stimuli, and biocompatibility. Here we show that complex tunable microlasers emitting structured light can be generated from self-assembled topological LC superstructures containing topological defects inserted into a thin Fabry–Pérot microcavity. The topology and geometry of the LC superstructure determine the structuring of the emitted light by providing complex three-dimensionally varying optical axis and order parameter singularities, also affecting the topology of the light polarization. The microlaser can be switched between modes by an electric field, and its wavelength can be tuned with temperature. The proposed soft matter microlaser approach opens directions in soft matter photonics research, where structured light with specifically tailored intensity and polarization fields could be designed and implemented.

Professor Hollender will explore a single 13th-century liturgical manuscript, CAJS MS 382, to reveal how the material study of a seemingly ordinary manuscript can shed light on medieval Jewish liturgical practice. Medieval liturgical manuscripts have been studied because of their outstanding features, such as illuminations, unusual rites, their commentaries or because of physical features such as size. Even the critical edition of the Ashkenazic mahzor by Goldschmidt and Fraenkel, although based on a selection of manuscripts that represent what is considered to be "standard" with regard to the liturgical texts, searches for unusual texts that are not transmitted in many manuscripts. This lecture focuses on a single 13th-century liturgical manuscript, CAJS MS 382, that could be described as "average" with few distinctive features. It will be treated both as material object and as textual witness, showing how much can be deduced even from seemingly "normal" elements and small details.
This lecture is sponsored by the Jewish Studies Program at the University of Pennsylvania.
The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies & the Herbert D. Katz Center Distinguished Fellowship in Jewish Manuscript Studies is funded in part by the David Ruderman Distinguished Scholar Fund.


Adult Park portrays in black and white an unrealistic yet extremely realistic story of the future, of those who are not properly treated as people but have become tools for something else and have been castrated of their humanity. Even maturer than in earlier works, Oh's dramatization skills and compact storyline blend into the author's unique characters and drawing style, thus engrossing readers in a moment.
Following the publication of Le visiteur du Sud, the French edition of The Southern Guest, the author was also presented with the Prix Asie de la Critique by the Association des critiques et des journalistes de bande dessinée (ACBD; Association of Critics and Journalists of Comics) in 2008. Likewise, Adult Park has received so much attention that its French publication was decided on, even before the issue of the Korean edition, by Editions Flblb, an indie comics publisher in France that also brought out Oh's earlier work. The world of this novel, which may be the reality of not only South Korean society but also the entire globe in the contemporary era, will bear the test even of international sensibilities.
undergo, dotted with frustration and despair, is a reflection of the reality of some people in this age.
The setting of this work, Adult Park rents out conversation robots. Mounted with a vast amount of information and emotion sensors, these robots keep company with lonely people who have no one to talk with. From among them, "Miss Yogi" boasts outstanding performance, even enjoying a clientele thanks to its nearly human communication skills and highly popular with patrons. Yong-bae, the protagonist, visits Adult Park by chance during summer vacation, and "Yogi" asks him if he knows Seo Jun-ho, a company colleague, requesting him to convey a mysterious message to the latter. Yong-bae then transmits the robot's words to Jun-ho, upon which the latter is revealed to have sold off his wife Jeong-hui's brain to a childrearing robot development company after having sustained her life for five years in a vegetative state. After much ado, Jeong-hui's brain is sent to Adult Park, and she hands over all of her memories to "Yogi." At the climax of this novel, faced with "Yogi," who now possesses his wife's memories, Jun-ho ends up making the worst choice to cover his shame. On the other hand, Gang-mo, a college friend of Yong-bae's, establishes a beer hall by selling his kidneys after roaming the streets, in the end, he is so beset by creditors that he even sells off his heart and ends his life.
An organ trafficker tells Jun-ho, "Would it be worth paying so much money for a machine that only holds memories?" Though South Korean society has yet to reach such a state, that may only be a matter of time. Indeed, 60% of organ transplant patients are said to use the organs of death-row convicts in one corner of the globe today. If and once it is technically possible, even human brains will be traded, as organs are now. Through a contrast between machines and humans, the author sharply delineates the trend of disregard for human life and the instrumentalization of the human body that pervade society. Jeong-hui, a human who has lost much of her memory in the process through which childrearing robots are developed and ends up as nothing but a chunk of brain, says to "Yogi," a robot: "If there are no memories to remember, what difference is there between you and me?" The author calmly portrays a confusing near future in which it is difficult to distinguish between machines and humans.
In a society where no one is willing to listen to your story, the sole consolation sadly may lie in machines. The destination of those who have experienced frustration in reality for a modicum of comfort is none other than Adult Park, a conversation park for grownups. By skillfully mixing up organ trafficking and robots, which at a glance seem to be utterly incompatible subject matters, through extremely realistic characters, Adult Park represents an unfamiliar future as a familiar present. Adult Park shows how ordinary folks, trapped in a structure that lacks communication and treats humans inhumanly, make unethical choices and rush toward their own ruin. Living in a society where humans are not accorded due honor, we, too, may need to take a rest at Adult Park and be consoled.

'The Uprising of Dignity': film screening and book presentation by Manchester Zapatista Collective this week
By Alice Toomer-McAlpine | January 18, 2017 Culture
This Thursday evening, Manchester Zapatista Collective are hosting a public documentary screening and book presentation in solidarity with the Zapatista movement in Chiapas, Mexico. The event, taking place on Thursday 19th January at Manchester's Green Fish Resource Centre, will be an opportunity for attendees to learn more about the movement and indigenous communities' struggle for liberation in Chiapas since the Zapatista uprising of 1994.
'The Uprising of Dignity' documentary
The Uprising of Dignity tells the story of how, on Jan 1st 1994, indigenous men and women occupied seven cities in Chiapas, dividing it between thousands of families and establishing self governing communities. These communities have since been working to resist state domination and build their own civil structures to sustain its people.
Book presentation: 'Critical Thinking in the Face of the Capitalist Hydra'
The Manchester Zapatista Collective will also present the English translation of 'Critical Thinking in the Face of the Capitalist Hydra'. This book is the product of a Zapatista organised seminar in Chiapas in 2015, and includes the transcriptions of a series of presentations from members of the Zapatista Army for National Liberation (EZLN).
As well as providing an insight into one of the most remarkable anti-capitalist struggles of our time, the book reaches out to readers across the world for global solidarity. However, it also maintains that the story of the EZLN and Zapatista communities is not one to be duplicated in all communities worldwide, but instead is an example of how organised groups can resist capitalism, patriarchy and racism in their own way, on their own terms.
A global solidarity movement
Despite being over 5000 miles away from Chiapas, there is a growing community in Manchester that is taking inspiration from the Zapatistas' ongoing struggle, whilst feeding into a world-wide 'principle-based solidarity' movement which transgresses national borders and fixed identities.
Heike, a member of the Manchester Zapatista Collective, explained the significance of the Zapatista movement for Mancunians today:
"In all my life the autonomous governments of the Zapatistas seems to me the most livable one. Its relevant for Manchester because many Mancunians believe that devolution will bring more democracy, but I would urge them to check out the Zapatistas' model first."
The Manchester group welcomes those that are curious about different ways communities could organise themselves for a more just society to come to tomorrow's event and find out more.
Alice Toomer – McAlpine
Copies of the book will be available on Thursday for £12.
All proceeds of the event go towards the costs incurred by the production of the English edition of Critical Thinking in the Face of the Capitalist Hydra.

Confession of a Houseless Pinoy: Find your dream home in Cavite and say I Do to Lancaster New City!
Are you guilty like me who are fond of ignoring the real estate agents in the mall?
I usually shy away from real estate agents. I usually ignore them or just say a cold thank you when they hand me a brochure or a flyer. I am not into it because at the first place, I know that I already have my parent's house. But that's it... that's where it went all wrong. I have my parent's house, but not my own dream house!
I grew up thinking that I already have a house so why waste my time looking for a new place. But recently, in one of my conversation with a close friend, he mentioned to me that my house is not even a place I can call "my own". He knew that my parents promised me that they'll give me the house but it is still theirs, not mine. "You didn't purchase it. You didn't work hard for it so technically, you are still houseless." he told me.
I must admit that specific conversation really hit me.
I am twenty something and I am still houseless! For the past years that I've also experienced renting a place while working in the city, I always silently wish that my rental fee is already a payment for my very own house. Don't you wish the same too?!
I think a lot of working professionals especially those in Metro Manila and other nearby cities are tired of wasting their hard earned money just to pay for rent.
What if you can use that fund to finally have your own house and lot?
A place you can really own that's highly accessible to your workplace at the same time affordable and safe for the whole family?
That's not impossible with this township development I recently discovered in Cavite.
It will only take you 15 minutes without traffic!
TAKE THE LANCASTER NEW CITY TOUR!
During my visit, I've seen a lot of couples and families visiting Lancaster. Some of them even paid their downpayment on the spot. I've asked them why and they told me they are seriously considering getting their dream house there because the location is good and it is affordable.
I've visited friends in Metro Manila living in their condo units with limited space and lived with relatives renting a room or an apartment with no sense of open space… Every time I am in this big city, I feel like living in a box and most of my colleagues share the same sentiments too especially those who grew up in the province. For someone who was used to open space with almost every basic need are just within your reach, it was a breath of fresh air to know about the LANCASTER NEW CITY, a master-planned community that offers 24 hour security to its residents so you do not have to worry for your safety.
I was invited to explore Cavite after a conference I attended and I also had the chance to take the free tour around the Lancaster New City. That's where I first experienced an OPEN HOUSE and realized something very important.
DO YOU SEE YOURSELF LIVING IN ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL HOUSES?
THIS IS A WAKE-UP CALL FOR US!
For twenty something yuppies and yindies like me, I think it is the prime time for us to start eyeing for our very own house and lot. I think a cliché about saving is applicable in this situation too. Sabi nga nila, start them young.

The Selma and 13th director says that we must look to history to guide us through our imminent future.
Director Ava DuVernay has had a busy few years. After making a huge splash with her breakout feature, Selma, about Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement, DuVernay has been hard at work on a range of follow-up projects, including directing a feature adaptation of Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time—becoming the first woman of color to helm a production of over $100 million. In between Selma and A Wrinkle in Time, DuVernay has somehow found time to make herself prolific in a variety of mediums. She produced the series Queen Sugar for OWN, and through her distribution company ARRAY has helped bring attention to exciting new voices and stories in film.
In the middle of all that, DuVernay returned to her documentary roots with 13th, a film for Netflix about the history of mass incarceration and systemic racism in the United States since the end of the Civil War. The documentary takes its name from the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which abolished slavery, but also created an exception allowing slavery as the punishment for a crime. 13th chronicles the ways in which that exception has been exploited over the last 150 years in an attempt to make black and brown people second-class citizens in their own country.
Directed and edited with incredible efficiency, 13th condenses a seemingly endless amount of history into a brisk but extraordinarily powerful narrative, drawing a direct line from slavery to Jim Crow, to the War on Drugs, and right down to the present moment in which nearly 2.3 million people in the United States are incarcerated. The film has earned rave reviews since its release in September, going on to win year-end awards from critics associations around the country, and earning a well-deserved spot on the Oscars shortlist for a Best Documentary nomination.
Ava DuVernay spoke with Esquire.com last week to discuss 13th, its new resonance in light of Donald Trump's election victory, and how we can look to history as a guide for defeating what she calls "the dark forces that lurk" in the present.
ESQ: How are you feeling about the acclaim the film has been receiving?
Ava DuVernay: It's all quite a surprise. I definitely made it quietly, with the intention that it would be a resource, maybe thinking it might be used in some academic circles as a teaching tool. That's happening, but also much more. I'm just happy that the information is getting out there. Any kind of awards attention is only really amplifying the messages of the film, which is the whole point of it.
Do you think that the film's meaning has changed at all since the election in November?
We released the film in late September—we only had a month before the election—and I really wanted the film to live on past that moment, so it was crafted with an eye to be evergreen, something that allows us to consume 150 years of oppression, and racism, and criminalization outside of the context of the campaign. We touched on the two key figures of the campaign because they did play a part in the narrative of why we have 2.3 million people behind bars, but it wasn't done in the context of the campaign, per se. So when I watch the film again after the election, it doesn't feel outdated, which was a big goal. And certainly the ideas and the things that we chronicle resonate even more. The ideas that Trump is talking about are deeply embedded in the documentary. Hopefully the doc will give people a basis of information; some foundation upon which to really consider Trump's ideas—his rhetoric—with some context.
It can feel like we're in a moment that is completely new and never experienced before, unless we look to the past and understand the context within which we're currently living.
When you look at Trump and the fact that he won, it almost fits, in a dark way, perfectly within the narrative of the documentary. Fits of progress, and then huge backlash.
I think the key thing is the recognition of a pattern. I hope, among many other things, people walk away from 13th with a recognition of the pattern, the cycle, and the fact we're in another one. It can feel like we're in a moment that is completely new and never experienced before, unless we look to the past and understand the context within which we're currently living, the context by which we find ourselves with a President Trump—which is hard for me to even say at this point. It's wildly important, and it's not done hardly enough, that we look back—and not just tip our hats, but really look back and understand, dig into it, unfold the layers of history so that we can live more deeply in the present. I think that's a big, big weapon in this battle against the dark forces that lurk—I mean, it sounds like I'm describing a Star Wars movie. A lot of us who've just been able to skate through with a surface understanding of these issues… Now I think it becomes really clear that we have to go deeper.
It's interesting to me that you talked about the movie as an educational tool. It's also a film, and a piece of art. How do you balance those two things?
Well, for me, the art that I like to make—and everyone has a different art practice—but the art that I make and that I am intent on continuing to make is an art that says something. I exercise my voice in my art, and I have a lot to say, and I have a lot of ideas, and I have a lot that I want to explore and investigate. That's how I approach everything I do, whether it's an Apple commercial—I get offered an Apple commercial, where I want to embed that with nourishing images of black women doing things that we've not done before, or we're not often seen doing. If have the opportunity to do a television show, I want to make something like Queen Sugar where it's a family drama that chronicles the current Black Lives Matter moment and what that means, and have a formerly incarcerated main character. If I'm doing a Disney movie, I want to do a film that has something to say, a film that is a cross between social commentary and spirituality and science, and that's A Wrinkle in Time. I just approach it all from a place of my own interests and exercising my voice.
Director Ava DuVernay with Van Jones, Common, Jelani Cobb, and Lisa Nishimura at the 54th New York Film Festival Opening Night Gala Presentation of "13th"
The relationship with history in your work is notable and fascinating. I was thinking about 13th and the larger historical narrative in the film, and then I was thinking about Selma, which I loved in part because it's sort of an instructional tool on how to organize protest. There's been a lot of pressure since the election to move away from [racial] issues, and I want to know how you think people can keep those issues at the forefront, maybe even using your films for some example or education.
The thing I'm really fascinated with, and I think that comes out in Selma and in 13th, is process. History didn't just happen—it was a process. Criminalization is a process. I tried to show you the process over 150 years, how did it come to be that. What is the process of incarceration? How did we get here? And by looking at the step-by-step, you live more fully in the present moment, but also you have an understanding of how to reverse the process. Part of what the process showed in Selma was how to create movements, and I think that's something that we're going to need more than ever now. I really feel like a process will kick in where there's going to be a unifying around principles that mean something to people. We've seen that work before. I can just try to get information out there, keep showing the process—the process of good, the process of not so good—just a further understanding. I feel like so often we're untethered. We read fake news, and we're online, and taking the headlines and being led around like sheep by something that's not real and rooted. The more knowledge you have about something, the more dangerous and the more powerful you are. That's the times we're in.
The more knowledge you have about something, the more dangerous and the more powerful you are.
I think you're right, especially about our online lives. It's also very easy for people, even well-meaning people, to read a tweet or read an article and agree with it—but then leave it at that. Do you see us breaking out of that cycle at all?
I think there's going to be a breaking out of the cycle of that because we are going to be rudely awakened by the next four years and what is going to happen. We're just getting started about the different cultures, and colors, and classes, and sectors of people who will find themselves offended by, and affected by, what is to come. And I think that has to create a movement, it has to create a process by which there is a resistance, and by which there's a progress that comes out of it. I just have to believe that that's going to be the case. There's going to be deep work that needs to be done, and I think it's going to be activated by the very people who won't expect what's coming.
Right, and Trump hasn't even come into office yet, so we still to need to know exactly what we're going to be opposing.
I think there's a good base of knowledge of what we're opposing, but I think there's going to be all kinds of new surprises, and I think people who are maybe apathetic to everything now will find themselves feeling agitated by what will happen. I automatically know what I'm opposing because the President opposes my very existence and everything I stand for, so right there that's a really clear response. But I think that there are folks who feel like they are usually on the inside of it, or have the privilege of not focusing on these things, who will be affected. Because it's undeniable it's going to affect more people than even know it, and so the hope is there's some rallying around that, and some resistance to it.
So you do have the hope. You haven't lost that, right?
I have the hope in people. I have the hope in people, because there's evidence, and there's historical legacy for resistance movements. We're not living in a new age. You can study all around the world, governments that have been taken over by people far worse than what we're dealing with. I have hope. I have history to look at, so I feel like something good will come. But it'll come from us, if at all.

How Long Does Divorce Take in Illinois?
Home » How Long Does Divorce Take in Illinois?
Oct 1, 2021 | By Vantage Group Legal | Read Time: 2 minutes | Category: Divorce
For many, the divorce process is the most stressful event they will ever go through. Divorcing parties normally just want to move on with their lives. The last thing either spouse wants is for the process to drag on.
Thankfully, unlike other states, Illinois does not impose a "cooling off" period on those seeking a divorce.
However, Illinois imposes strict residency requirements that you must fulfill before filing. Generally, at least one of the parties must have lived in the state for at least 90 days. In the event the parties have minor children, the residency requirement becomes 180 days. In addition to residency requirements, the type of divorce being sought determines the timeline for a divorce in Illinois.
Facing divorce in Illinois? You're in the right place.
Call 24/7 for a free consultation:
What Is the Fastest Way to Get Divorced in Illinois?
If you and your spouse are not dependent on one other, have no children, own few assets, make a modest income, have been married for less than eight years, and agree on every aspect of the property division, you may qualify for an expedited divorce.
Joint simplified divorces are the fastest and cheapest way to obtain a divorce in Illinois. Because the parties complete and file the paperwork together, there is no waiting on service of process. Moreover, joint simplified divorces typically require only a single hearing before a judge. The main holdup for these types of divorces is the court date. Court dockets are full. Expect the hearing to be no earlier than a month or two after filing.
What About Uncontested Divorces?
Uncontested divorces are for parties who agree on matters of property division, child custody, and child support but for whatever reason don't qualify for a joint simplified divorce. In this scenario, the timeline is longer because the petitioner must effectuate service of process, which could take weeks. After receiving the petition, the other party has up to 30 days to file a response.
How Long Do Contested Divorces Take?
Contested divorces are the most time-consuming of divorces. The timeline for contested divorces includes service of process and 30 days for the spouse to file a response. Once in court, the judge will likely order mediation between the parties to settle disputes. Expect to wait at least a month for mediation. If mediation fails, the court will schedule a trial. Expect to wait around six months for this. Finally, after trial, expect to wait 60–90 days for the court's final divorce decree.
Work with an Experienced Divorce Lawyer
The extent to which each party is willing to work with the other generally determines the timeline for a divorce in Illinois. The greater the conflict, the longer the divorce process.

This spring, the Yellow-billed Cuckoo is making the journey from its overwintering grounds in South America through the forests of Central America and then up to North America. It is a perilous journey because of the destruction of forest habitat along the way. Scientists have partially attributed declines in this species to deaths that occur during migration. The western sub-species is now considered in danger of extinction and is under review for listing under the Endangered Species Act.
Through Paso Pacifico's migratory bird conservation initiative, we are working to improve the chance of a successful migration for many neotropical birds. This program has been supported by the US Forest Service International Institute for Tropical Forestry and other partners since 2009. Through the program's semi-annual bird monitoring we have documented the Yellow-billed Cuckoo during its migration.
We are now building partnerships that will increase protection and monitoring for the Yellow-billed Cuckoo at key dry tropical forest sites throughout Nicaragua. These private sector and non-profit partners include Morgan's Rock Hacienda & Ecolodge, the Richland Center-Santa Teresa Sister City Project, and the Reserva Privada Quelantero. We are also expanding our international partnerships with groups such as the Southern Sierra Research Station and the Insitute for Bird Populations. These two organizations have unique expertise in threatened migratory birds and in building local capacity to protect and study them.

Remarks on the Country Extending from Cape Palmas to the River Congo ...
Հեղինակ՝ John Adams
meshes. Holes at the top received the forefingers of their right hands, with which the gourds were shaken, and occasionally struck against the palms of their left hands, beating responses to the tunes sung by the dancers.
The king and his principal courtiers are ostentatious in their dress, wearing damask, taffity, and cuttanee, after the country fashion. Coral is a very favourite ornament in the royal seraglio, which is always well filled; and the women, like those of the Heebo nation, wear a profusion of beads, if they can by any means obtain them.
Human sacrifices are not so frequent here as in some parts of Africa; yet besides those immolated on the death of great men, three or four are annually sacrificed at the mouth of the river, as votive offerings to the sea, to direct vessels to bend their course to this horrid climate.
The number of slaves obtained at Benin was at one period very considerable; but the extreme unhealthiness of the country was, I apprehend, the chief cause why the
English trade at this place declined. The medium of exchange is salt, and calculations are made in pawns, one of which is equal to a bar in Bonny, or 2s. 6d. sterling.
The land about the town of Benin is fertile, although but little of it is cultivated. Sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, and yams, are plentiful and cheap. There is here also a breed of small cattle.
What country, or of what description, or inhabited by what nation, bounds the north of that inhabited by the Heebos, I could never obtain any satisfactory account; but it is certain, that there are not any slaves sold at Bonny, that pass from the interior through it. The kingdom of Benin may be called its western boundary, although its inhabitants and their language bear a striking affinity to the Heebos. The colour of their skins is somewhat darker; though much lighter than the Jaboos or Hios.
The national mark is on each temple, and three very extensive scars on the abdomen above the umbilical chord.
The CREEK, or Jo people, are a predatory race, and frequently attack boats bound to Gatto; and when weakly manned, they have been known to murder the crew, plunder their cargoes, and burn the boats. They had once the audacity to attempt to surprise in the night a brig under my command, which I had taken to the mouth of the river, for the purpose of allowing the crew to have the advantage of breathing a better atmosphere, hoping, by that means, to counteract the bad effects of the climate, which had begun to make serious inroads on their health. They had acquired information of the ineffective state of the crew, and meant to hazard the experiment of quietly boarding us in the night with four canoes full of people; but as we thought some attempt of the kind might be made, we were prepared to receive them, and on firing a few shots they retreated. They, however, made a second attempt the following night with an increased force, but when
the musket balls began to whiz about their ears, they all laid down on the bottom of their canoes, and allowed themselves to be drifted away in them by the tide; for they had the sagacity to avail themselves of a strong flood, and to pull up against it in the wake of the vessel, in order to elude observation, and to secure a retreat in case of necessity.
On the west head of the river, as well as on the opposite shore, a number of huts have been erected, where salt is made from At full tide, the sea approaches sea water. very near to these huts, at which time the natives fill the vessels (composed chiefly of earthenware of native manufacture) with salt water, and evaporate it by fire. Some of the salt made in this way is very good, but a large portion of it is of a bad colour, and sandy.
NEW TOWN is placed about eighteen miles from the mouth of the river, and is in the
territory and under the jurisdiction of the
king of Warré, and Wacoo the captain of the river derives his power and consequence from being placed there to receive the king's duties, which are very moderate, from vessels visiting the Formosas for the purpose of trade. It being a mere trading station, the population is inconsiderable, and the houses wretched hovels built on the north point of Warré creek, which is so swampy that the inhabitants are under the necessity of placing old canoes with their bottoms upwards, in order to be enabled to pass upon them, from house to house, otherwise they would sink knee deep in mud.
The river, in consequence of its bed and margin being composed of mud, has scarcely any variety of fish in it, and what the natives obtain, are caught in holes amongst the roots of the mangrove trees, and are a kind of small eel seldom exceeding six inches in length and an inch and half in diameter; these with yams form the chief part of their food. The yams are brought from a

The horror movie that led to a real-life killing: The murder of Randi Trimble
by Amanda Tullos, Contributor
Sometimes the most disturbing parts of a horror film can happen offscreen. When an aspiring filmmaker set out to make a low-budget horror movie in the woods, it would lead to a deadly final act that not even a screenwriter could have put to the page. Greed was the theme behind this real-life story, and the monsters would turn on the one person closest to them for the climax—and she never signed up to be the star.
It all began when Blaine Norris watched a low budget horror movie that skyrocketed to success thanks to its creative viral marketing and real-life vibe. That film was "The Blair Witch Project," and it proved that it didn't take a huge Hollywood budget to make it big in La-La land.
Inspired by the horror about a group of student filmmakers haunted by a legendary witch in the woods, Norris set out to create his own horror movie called, "Through a Hike: A Ghost Story." Seemingly inspired by "The Blair Witch Project," this ghost story was set entirely in the woods and focused on a group of young people being taunted by a sinister force.
Taking the story out of Burkitsville, Maryland, Norris' film was to be set along the Appalachian Trail in central Pennsylvania, where he lived. Although he had giant aspirations to create the next big horror movie, the rookie director had zero experience behind the camera.
With a day job as a computer technician, Norris had little time and finances to make movies. Luckily for him, his co-worker and best friend, Brian Trimble, had a solution. He offered his camera equipment for filming and agreed to be the cameraman.
With a cameraman secured, Norris' luck continued and he received an investment of $18,000 to make his horror movie. Soon actors were cast and things were ready to go, that is until things began going horribly wrong leading up to the production.
The film's cameraman was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and was unable to hike the trails during filming. The film's investor then reportedly took his money and left. Norris was left without a camera guy and no money for the film.
Despite the setbacks, Norris continued the movie by putting everything on his credit cards. The movie sent him into debt, and eventually Norris' filmmaking dream would flicker out like a flame on a candle.
Norris was in trouble, but he saw a solution to all his problems. That solution again came from his friend Trimble, only this time he suggested something deadly: murder.
Trimble was struggling with his health and finances, too. His wife, Randi, worked two jobs to help support her ailing husband, but Trimble apparently wanted more. His selfishness gave him tunnel vision, and the the theory that the death of his wife would bring him more money.
Randi had a $100,000 life insurance policy that was appealing enough for Trimble to enlist his friend to murder her. They struck up a deal where Norris would kill Randi, and together they would split her life insurance. Norris agreed to take Randi's life for just $20,000.
Randi Trimble [Photo: Family Handout]
The plan rolled out on January 10, 2003. Trimble went out to dinner with friends while his wife worked all night. Norris waited for Randi in the Trimbles' garage, and attacked her when she returned home. He strangled her with an extension cord and stabbed her over 20 times as she prayed for mercy.
Then, Trimble returned from his alibi and found his wife face-down in a pool of her own blood. He called 911 and reported the horrific incident, playing the part of the upset husband.
When authorities arrived at the scene they saw the overturned furniture throughout the house. It appeared that there had been a robbery, but nothing was stolen. Police immediately suspected the scene was staged, and Trimble was considered a suspect early on.
Norris was eventually taken into custody where he confessed to conspiring with Trimble to kill Randi. Both perpetrators were sentenced to life in prison for the murder.
Following the senseless events that took Randi Trimble's life, her mother, Nancy Chavez, set out to create something positive from the horror. She created Randi's Race, a foundation to raise money for victims of domestic abuse, and created Randi's House of Angels, where abused children can seek refuge.
Along with creating a safe environment for domestic abuse victims, Randi inadvertently created a safer world for possible future victims of Blaine Norris. Detectives believed Norris would have killed again had he not been arrested for Randi's murder.

Home Tui Meki
Tui Meki
Bachelor of Design in Industrial Design
There's no such thing as a crazy idea in design, only one that could change the game, says Tui Meki who came to AUT to study a Bachelor of Design in Industrial Design.
"If you love solving problems and have a passion for practical work, I highly recommend studying industrial design. Be openminded to opportunities and challenges presented. There are no crazy ideas in this field."
With problem-solving such an important aspect of industrial design, Tui is proud that his final-year university project recently earned him Gold at the prestigious Best Design Awards for addressing an issue many Pacific families in New Zealand face.
"For my project Talanoa, I designed a board game to help Samoan families maintain their native language. Talanoa (conversing) is something I saw a need for. Living here in New Zealand I saw firsthand the struggles of my own family members with the language, and what better way to learn than to start from the beginning. I was fortunate to receive a Best Design Awards Gold pin for this project."
Encouraged to succeed
It was his brother who first introduced him to industrial design, says Tui who grew up in Samoa and came to Auckland as a teenager.
"I hadn't heard of industrial design until my brother introduced me to it. It was a pathway he knew I would thrive within. Choosing to study industrial design was probably one of the greatest decisions I made. Not only did I enjoy what I was studying, but I was surrounded by amazing people who inspired me every day to become the greatest version of myself.
"I've had so many highlights during my three years at AUT. All the sleepless nights, the laughs and countless mistakes are memories I would go back to and relive all over again. One memory in particular is of roaming the city at 12am after being asked to leave my studio the night before my final presentation. At that moment I realised that when you truly enjoy and love what you do, you never feel like you're working a single day in your life."
He is grateful for the support he had throughout his studies.
"I am where I am today not only because of my own passion for what I do but also because of the encouragement from my peers and lecturers. They constantly pushed me to my limits and challenged my skills. That ingrained in me a sense of hunger to keep striving forward with my dreams. Having such a great group of friends and classmates helped me grow into the designer I am today. I can't thank them enough."
A passion for design
He loves being a designer, says Tui who is currently working for furniture company IMO to further his understanding of production processes.
"As a designer, I enjoy solving problems and turning my thoughts into reality. I love going through the design process and creating new things that no one has ever done."
While he has had many proud moments in his design career so far, there is one design project he is especially proud of.
"A design that will always have a place in my heart is Fa'amama, which I created in 2019. It's an outdoor cleaning brush that uses firewood ash instead of soap. This could help so many communities who cook food with fire, and give them the opportunity to use this product for their benefit.
"The design itself was a reflection of my upbringing and hardship. Being able to work on and manifest this design into what it has become truly means a lot to me. Seven years ago, I was using my bare hands, and being able to design a gadget that could modify this was mind blowing."
*The Bachelor of Design is now known as Te Tohu Paetahi mō te Hoahoa - Bachelor of Design.

As far as my writing, this site will continue to provide insight into the process of being a writer and getting that work published. I'll want to share progress and obstacles in working on a novel series, hopefully making it easier for you to pursue your own writing goals. Maybe you can learn from me... we'll see. But, I also want to share ideas that relate to writing in general, as well as tools that will help other writers grow.
For the public persona, I now have http://www.davidbergerbooks.com. Here you will find more information about the books I write, specifically the Task Force: Gaea series as well as the other writing I do, with links to blog posts and other books of which I am a part. You can even purchase copies of the works through this new site.
I feel as if this site has become bogged down in too much "stuff," and I want to clear away the things that don't work for me anymore. Parts of this site may appear on davidbergerbooks.com, and parts may remain here. I want you to have access to the information you want.
As the new title says, I want this site to focus on the writing process—mine and yours—and hopefully give you insight into creating something on the page. Work with me.
I'd love feedback, too. If you like what you see here, please comment beneath the posts. If you want to ask me questions, email me here. Follow me on Twitter and on Facebook!
Stay tuned. Much more will come!


Now that the Sketchtoon Coffee Calendar is complete and available for sale, I've been considering ways to make other interesting items with these illustrations.
Today I was inspired by Les & Ian's comments on my last post to create a custom 12-pack of sketchtoon coffee wallpapers, designed especially for iPhone and iPod touch screens.
Each sketchtoon coffee wallpaper is a 320x480px color JPG file, available at Flickr as a free download for personal use on your iPhone or iPod touch.
If you like the wallpaper art, consider picking up a Sketchtoon Coffee Calendar for yourself or a coffee-loving friend as a unique gift.
Update 2007-11-28: I've uploaded Flickr, having adjusted the images to fit properly within the clear window on the iPhone/iPod touch login screen. If you have an older version, check out the updated images and get a new version.
Palm and Windows Mobile Users: Please drop me a line and let me know if you're interested in wallpapers for your devices. I'm currently gauging whether I want to produce these in a few more sizes, like 320x320 and 240x320. Let me know what sizes you might prefer.
Wow, very cool. They look really nifty on my iPod Touch.
In my comment I said I'd pay and since there isn't a donation option I ordered a calendar! Thanks a bunch!
I'll add a PayPal donation link here later today.
I was thinking along similar lines. I can slice'em up and frame a couple of my favorites for the office or something.
I'd be interested in the 320x320 sizes for my Treo 700P (the current 320x480 ones would fit the Palm Tungstens w/ larger screens, right?).
And yes Scott, just realized the 320x480 vertical wallpaers ought to work perfectly on Tungsten T5s, TXs and other vertical screened Palm devices, and probably Windows Mobile devices too.


I have a Spanish theme to my wines this weekend.
The extaordinary 2011 Marques de Murrieta Capellania is a white Rioja made from 100% Viura grapes grown on the highest part of the Ygay estate in Rioja Alta from vines that were planted way back in 1945. This is a white wine for red wine drinkers and tends to show like a top white Burgundy. However it is still astonishing in its uniqueness and complexity and elegance.
The trick with this First Drop wine is that the lads have judged the oak so carefully that they allow the fruit to shine through uninterrupted. This time, in the mind-blowing 2010 vintage, the recipe is 50% new French, 20% new American, 30% old French and all for 20 months of dunking. The fact that the alcohol is reined in at 13.5% means that this oak has not taken the lead and the Tempranillo has the firmness of character to express itself with its brooding strawberry compote and plum duff core.

Q: can every iterative algorithm be turned into dynamic programming? It have been much discussed that every recursive algorithm can be transformed into iterative algorithms..
But... can every iterative algorithm be transformed into dynamic programming?
I'm starting to learn about Dynamic Programming... and i'm having a lot of problems.. even though i can find recursive solutions, and i'm expertising turning them into iterative algorithms, i still can't turn these iterative algorithms into dynamic programming... it'd be, indeed, very helpfull to certainly know that every iterative algorithm can be transformed into dynamic...

A: I hope that by Dynamic Programming you mean the same thing as Wikipedia does - that is, algorithms that break the problem into smaller subproblems, and use memoization to avoid having to solve the same problem twice.
Dynamic Programming cannot be usefully applied to all iterative algorithms. For Dynamic Programming to be useful, the problem needs two properties:

*

*Overlapping subproblems - when solving the problem recursively, you need to encounter the same subproblem, with the same parameters, more than once, otherwise memoizing was a waste of time and memory.

*Optimal substructure - the knowledge that if you have the solutions to the sub-problems, the solution to the whole problem is easy to compute.


Photographing children is a little bit different than adults. Adults look great when you tell them exactly where to stand and how to look. Children on the other hand take the best pictures when they are being themselves, completely unpredictable and carefree. Don't be surprised when I take pictures in between the shots you are expecting. It's the unexpected that will always make the best photo. You don't have to direct your child to act any particular way in our session, let me talk to them, get them comfortable with me and watch them do their own thing.
Sessions usually last between 1-2 hours but there is no set time limit. My goal is for your family to be completely comfortable around me and sometimes that takes a little bit of warm up time. Sessions are not rushed. I understand that breaks may be needed, feedings have to happen and sometimes diapers need to be changed.
I will go anywhere there is natural light. I'm constantly searching for unusual spots with character and fantastic textures. We will work together to find the best spot for your family pictures. I'll travel anywhere in Jacksonville and St. Augustine at no additional charge. Locations outside of this area will have a small travel fee.
There are no set rules for what to wear but if you wear what you are comfortable in you can't go wrong! For the adults I would suggest bright solid colors with simple structure. For kids I suggest trendy, fun and bright.

Wonder Woman 1984 is easily one of the most anticipated superhero movies on Warner Bros.'s slate, but when it finally does hit theaters in summer 2020, it just might break the DCEU's informal sequel tradition. It's been three years since WB launched their DC movie universe with Zack Snyder's Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, which was quickly expanded with David Ayer's Suicide Squad back in summer 2016. While the franchise has endured its fair share of criticisms, there have been some highlights along the way.
Even though Man of Steel, Batman V Superman, and Suicide Squad each have their own fan bases, it was Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman that was seen as a turning point for the DCEU in the eyes of the general public. It garnered rave reviews, eventually becoming one of Rotten Tomatoes' highest-rated superhero movies ever, as well as becoming the highest-grossing superhero origin story at the box office. That significantly bolstered excitement for a sequel, which is coming next year.
Wonder Woman 1984 sees Jenkins back in the director's chair, with a screenplay from herself, Dave Callaham, and former DC Films chief Geoff Johns. It'll be the ninth installment in the DCEU when it hits theaters, and while it continues Diana's story decades after her fight with Ares in 2017's Wonder Woman movie, it remains unclear at this stage exactly how it fits into the overarching shared universe. It seems that, based on everything we know about the upcoming sequel, Wonder Woman 1984 will ultimately break one of the few traditions the DCEU has left from its inception.
So far, every DCEU movie has been a sequel to the one before it. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was very much a result of the Black Zero event in Man of Steel, and because Superman died in Batman V Superman, that convinced the US government to allow Amanda Waller to form her Task Force X in Suicide Squad. At the start of that movie, David Harbour's Dexter Tolliver was primarily concerned about the next Superman not sharing their ideals for truth, justice, and the American way.
From there, Wonder Woman took place sometime between Batman V Superman and Justice League, as evidenced by its opening and ending scenes. While the bulk of the movie was set during World War I, it was the photo that Bruce Wayne delivered to her that triggered her memory. The entire movie was a flashback. And then after that, Justice League happened, which audiences can sort of see at the beginning and end of Wonder Woman.
And while Aquaman is technically an origin story, it's still a sequel to (Zack Snyder's) Justice League, with Mera even referencing Steppenwolf's defeat. Next up on the docket are Shazam!, Joker, Birds of Prey (and the Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), and Wonder Woman 1984. Joker, of course, is separate from the DCEU; Shazam! takes place after Justice League and Birds of Prey is at least set after Suicide Squad. That just leaves Wonder Woman 1984 as the odd one out here.


Breeders - Did He Like It?
Two men, Dean and Mikey, prepared for ages to have a baby. Now, stifled by convention, Dean has doubts that gnaw at him.
Two hamsters, Tyson and Jason, are suddenly pregnant with nine babies. Now, smothered by affection, Tyson has fears that nibble at her.
Nobody was planning to eat anyone. Things just got out of hand.
Breeders is a comedy about the cozy cage of mainstreamed queerness, the surprising variety of things that can fit in one's mouth, and the tender savagery of ordinary devotion.
Are parents just tame animals, housebroken and desexed?
It's a question that seems to be on playwrights' minds. Some, like Sarah Ruhl in "How to Transcend a Happy Marriage," test it on straight couples exploring polyamory. Others, like Mark Gerrard in "Steve" and Peter Parnell in "Dada Woof Papa Hot," test it on gay men embracing their newfound legal rights yet unready to let go of their outlaw prerogatives.
Either way, the answer is the same. Parents are half one thing, half another, stuck in no-win cage matches that pit domesticity against the beastliness built into human nature.
But not until Dan Giles's "Breeders," playing at the Access Theater, has the question been rendered so literally. The cage, too. For in this satire of mainstreamed queerness, presented by New Light Theater Project, two different couples anticipate a blessed event. In one, gay men nervously gnaw at their relationship as they wait for their surrogate to give birth. In the other, the gnawing is more literal. That couple are hamsters.

I want to find their marginal densities and $P(X>1|Y=\frac{1}{2}$).
I get that the joint pdf is  area$^{-1}$ multiplied by the  indicator over the domain of each variable and the double integral of this is equal to $1$.
In this shape that is given, the area is $2$ so our constant is $\frac{1}{2}$.
But I cant figure out how should I define the domain for the variables, should I make a piece wise function?
Also, is there a way to figure out the marginals just by looking at the shape of the given set?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

A: Yes, there is a way to figure out the marginals just by looking at the shape of the set. The pdf of $X$ is a distance between lower and upper boundaries of quadrilateral, divided by the area of quadrilateral. That is
$$
f_X(x)=\frac12\times \begin{cases} x,  & 0\leq x <1,\cr
1, & 1\leq x < 2, \cr
1-(x-2), & 2\leq x \leq 3, \cr
0, & x\not\in[0,\,3].\end{cases}
$$
The pdf of $Y$ is a distance between left and right boundaries of quadrilateral, divided by area of quadrilateral:
$$
f_Y(y)=\frac12\times \begin{cases} 2,  & 0\leq y \leq 1,\cr
0, & y\not\in[0,\,1].\end{cases}
$$
This is just a consequence of definition of pdf and geometric probability. Say, pdf $f_X(x)$ is a function s.t. for any interval $(a,b)$
$$
\mathbb P(X\in (a,b)) = \int_a^b f_X(x)dx. \tag{1}
$$
We can restrict ourselves with $(a,b)\subset [1,\,3]$ only since outside this interval the pdf is zero. And this is the probability that the point which is chosen randomly in quadrilateral has $x$-coordinate in $(a,b)$. This is exactly ratio of two areas: area of the part of quadrilateral over $(a,b)$ and the total area which is $2$.
And the area of the part of quadrilateral over $(a,b)$ is the integral over $(a,b)$ from distance between upper boundary $u(x)$ and lower boundary $l(x)$. So,
$$
\mathbb P(X\in (a,b)) = \frac{\displaystyle\int_a^b (u(x)-l(x))\, dx}{2} \tag{2}
$$
Comparing (1) and (2) get $f_X(x)=\frac{u(x)-l(x)}{2}$.
