Presentations by Irit Rogoff, Stefano Harney, Adrian Heathfield, Massimiliano Mollona, Louis Moreno, and Nora Sternfeld. Opening words by Wietske Maas (BAK, Utrecht).
Conventionally understood as the operative substrate of contemporary global life, the term »infrastructure« invokes systems such as physical networks for transportation and communication, the organization of waste and utilities, resource flows, digital management, and capital movements. Moving away from these material associations, freethought develops the notion of »spectral infrastructure« toward the ghostly, affective, and fugitive intensities that undergird both infrastructural and quotidian life.
The research conjures the invisible, inaudible, and illegible through textures, rhythms, atmospheres, invocations, gestures, vernaculars, and affects—elements that escape traditional forms of tracking or measurement, calling instead for experimental forms of mapping, sensing, and tracing.
freethought is a collective working in public research and in curating concepts of urgency.
Irit Rogoff, Stefano Harney, Adrian Heathfield, Massimiliano Mollona, Louis Moreno, and Nora Sternfeld formed freethought in 2011. Traversing disciplines, blending influences, and borrowing forms, freethought experiments with new combinations of criticism and practice in the arts.
»Spectral Infrastucture« is a Public Editorial Meeting convened by freethought and BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht in collaboration with art education, HFBK Hamburg.

Art and war
"Every artist is a human being". This statement by Martin Kippenberger, which is as true as it is existentialist (in an ironic rephrasing of the well-known Beuys quote), gets to the heart of the matter in many ways. On the one hand, it reminds us not to look away, to be (artistically) active and to raise our voices. At the same time, it is an exhortation to help those who are in need. And that is a lot of people at the moment, among them many artists. That is why it is important for art institutions to discuss not only art, but also politics.

After more than 40 years of intensive effort, a long-cherished dream is becoming reality for the HFBK Hamburg. With the newly opened studio building, the main areas of study Painting/Drawing, Sculpture and Time-Related Media will finally have the urgently needed studio space for Master's students. It simply needs space for their own ideas, for thinking, for art production, exhibitions and as a depot.

In the current issue, the university's own Lerchenfeld magazine highlights university structures as well as student initiatives that deal with diversity and identity.

School of No Consequences
Everyone is talking about consequences: The consequences of climate change, the Corona pandemic or digitalization. Friedrich von Borries (professor of design theory), on the other hand, is dedicated to consequence-free design. In "School of No Consequences. Exercises for a New Life" at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg, he links collection objects with a "self-learning room" set up especially for the exhibition in such a way that a new perspective on "sustainability" emerges and supposedly universally valid ideas of a "proper life" are questioned.

HFBK Graduate Survey
Studying art - and what comes next? The clichéd images stand their ground: Those who have studied art either become taxi drivers, work in a bar or marry rich. But only very few people could really live from art – especially in times of global crises. The HFBK Hamburg wanted to know more about this and commissioned the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences at the University of Hamburg to conduct a broad-based survey of its graduates from the last 15 years.

How political is Social Design?
Social Design, as its own claim is often formulated, wants to address social grievances and ideally change them. Therefore, it sees itself as critical of society – and at the same time optimizes the existing. So what is the political dimension of Social Design – is it a motor for change or does it contribute to stabilizing and normalizing existing injustices?

Any material that can be harmful to your health and environment, unless properly used, stored, or disposed of can be considered a hazardous waste. Words such as "caution," "warning," "danger," or "flammable" on the label are clues the product may be a hazardous material. Review the resources to the right to make sure the materials you wish to drop-off are accepted at the HHW Facility. Please remember to bring your driver's license or another form of identification.
The Household Hazardous Waste Facility, or HHW Facility, is a permanent drive through drop-off location that allows residents of Lake, Lincoln, McCook, Minnehaha or Turner Counties to properly dispose of unwanted hazardous and electronics materials for free. The HHW facility does NOT accept waste from organizations such as businesses, farms, nonprofit organizations, churches, schools, and governmental entities, or waste that appears to be from any of the above mentioned.
Residents of the five county area serviced by the HHW facility may drive up under the facility awning during normal hours of operation. A staff member will greet the resident at their vehicle, take some basic information, and begin unloading the vehicle for the resident. The materials will then be sorted for reuse, recycling, or disposal.
What is the Reuse Room?
The HHW facility redistributes household and automotive chemicals through the Reuse Room. If items taken in by staff are determined to be in good, reusable condition, residents of the five-county region may visit our reuse room and pick up to three items per week for free. Staff is unable to guarantee the quality of the products, but each item is inspected before making it available to the public. The Reuse Room is located inside the Environmental Center at 1017 East Chambers Street.

Fayetteville's own Henry Lipsey told North Carolina Education Lottery officials he was not having much fortune at B&B Bowling Lanes on Monday, so he opted to switch gears and play the lottery.
"I'm part of a senior bowling league," Lipsey expressed.
"We didn't win our games, so I decided I might have better luck playing a scratch-off ticket." Lipsey stated he was faced with a decision when he found they were out of Crown Jewels scratch-offs, his preferred ticket.
He settled for a Carolina Panther scratch-off and purchased two of the tickets.
"I scanned the first ticket and didn't win anything," said Lipsey.
"When I scanned the second ticket it said, 'Go to lottery headquarters.' I turned it over and scratched it. When I saw the helmet and the number, I got a big smile on my face. I was a happy camper.
"We're going to go to the Dominican Republic and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Lipsey, who pocketed $141,003 after federal and state tax withholdings, said he is going to use the newfound wealth to treat his wife to an amorous cruise for their 50th anniversary.


Each year there are hundreds of 5Ks, marathons, walkathons or races that people come to support a good cause! At Utah Balloon Creations we absolutely LOVE 5K season because not only do we love doing balloons, but we love when balloons go to a good cause! One of the hardest things to do is have a good starting/finish line. One of the funnest and best ways to do a starting or finish line is with a balloon arch! Balloon arches are amazing and help direct people to the right place to begin the race. We have done starting / finish line for small walks in the park, or large corporate marathons. One of the greatest things about our balloon arches is we LOVE to work for a good cause! If you are a non profit and your race is for a good cause, we offer a 20% discount on all our balloon starting / finish lines. Give us a call today if you have any questions on balloon starting and finish lines anywhere in Utah. Below are just a few recent races that we have done! Be sure to check out our Balloon Race gallery for additional information and more images!
This was a starting line for the American Fork Race For Cancer 5K. We used a double spiral balloon arch with topiaries to cover the starting line sensors.
The following are a few arches we have done for The Annual Transplant Superheroes 5K FUN Run/Walk we have had the privilege of being a part of for a few years in a row now!


A Trinidad Scorpion strain, the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T held the title as the hottest pepper in the world in 2011. The Trinidad Scorpion Butch T, which was originally developed by Butch Taylor, is a superhot pepper as it averages about 800,000 to 1,463,700 Scoville Heat Units. It doesn't quite have the heat level of the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion or the Carolina Reaper, but it has a similar sweet, fruity flavor. When consumed, the Trinidad Scorpion heat tends to kick in almost immediately, unlike some other superhots like the slow-burning Ghost pepper and Naga Viper. The Trinidad Scorpion is Butch T widely sought after by pepper growers because of its combination of extreme heat, delicious fruity flavor, and unique appearance.
The Trinidad Scorpion Butch T's flavor is like most superhots as there is a fruity flavor that can be tasted before the intense heat level kicks in. The Trinidad Scorpion Butch T has a similar appearance to other Trinidad Scorpion peppers with the stinger. They grow to one to two inches in length.
GOOD PEPPER TO GROW FOR THOSE OF US WHO ENJOY SUPERHOT S.
The butch TS is my favorite superhot. My seeds got here yesterday and were planted in cups the morning. Looking forward to lots of peppers this summer.

Most seeds sprouted and each plant produced a ton of chile peppers. Am now well stocked and making spicy chili tonight!

AttributeError: 'numpy.ndarray' object has no attribute 'to_excel'

A: Your problem is that after doing unique function you get a numpy ndarray which of course doesn't have the to_excel function.
You should convert the numpy ndarray to a DataFrame first.
You can follow this example code to resolve your issue:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({"reaction_time":[1000,2000,3000,1500,2500,2500,2000,3000]})
l = df["reaction_time"].unique()
out = pd.DataFrame(l)
out.columns=["reaction_time"]
out.to_excel(r"D:\test.xls")

Then the excel file would have following data:

Grand jury indicts six Baltimore officers for charges in Freddie Gray's death
Six Baltimore police officers were indicted Thursday on charges connected to the death of Freddie Gray.
The indictments came after prosecutors presented evidence to a grand jury for two weeks, Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby said.
Gray's death last month after allegedly suffering a devastating spinal injury while in police custody sparked protests and riots in Baltimore.
The six officers face charges that, if they are convicted, could lead to decades in prison, based on their alleged actions that day. Among them: Illegal arrest, misconduct, assault and involuntary manslaughter.
Officer Caesar R. Goodson Jr., who prosecutors say was driving the van used to transport Gray after his arrest, faces the most charges, and the most severe: second-degree depraved heart murder.
The list of charges in the indictments the grand jury returned differs slightly from charges Mosby announced earlier this month; all six of the officers now face charges of reckless endangerment, and several other allegations have been removed.
"As our investigation has continued, additional information has been discovered, and as is often the case during an ongoing investigation, charges can and should be revised based upon the evidence," she said.
Mosby didn't take questions at the press conference and didn't go into details about what additional evidence had come to light.
The officers are scheduled to be arraigned on July 2, she said.
Mosby's announcement earlier this month that charges had been filed against the officers brought cheers from protesters and words of protest from the police union.
Attorneys for the officers have called for Mosby to be taken off the case, arguing that she has conflicts of interest -- an accusation Mosby denies.
In a statement after the officers' indictments, the police union called for the community to support police, noting that thousands of men and women in the department protect and serve the city's neighborhoods
"All citizens are innocent until proven guilty, including these six officers," Baltimore City Fraternal Order of Police President Gene Ryan said.
A lawyer representing Sgt. Alicia White, who faces charges of involuntary manslaughter, assault, misconduct and reckless endangerment, denied the accusations.
"I look forward to trying this case against Marilyn Mosby herself and proving Alicia White is innocent," attorney Ivan Bates said.

For those that are truly interested in joining a reputable and safe crossfit gym, the following will help you through your journey. Most people simply opt for the gym that is closest to them or one that offers budget friendly pricing without any further research or thought.
In the world of CrossFit, it is imperative that the gym being considered is equipped with experienced and competent coaches. Via the website for any gym being considered, the coaching staff and their credentials should be plainly visible for your review.
Here's all the information you need to know about how to find a CrossFit gym that will work for you.
When reviewing coaches, you will come across the following information. Therefore it is imperative to know what it all means.
Crossfit Level 1: This is an ANSI accreditation and means that the coach has attended a weekend long course and successfully completed the exam. This course teaches coaches basic movements as well as how to properly scale every movement. There are no specifics taught in regards to dealing with anatomy, injuries, etc.
Crossfit Level 2: This level is currently being revised via Crossfit HQ and involves a greater level of training for coaches.
Specialty Seminars: These consists of 1 to 2 day courses that focus on specific topics that include running, Olympic lifting as well as gymnastics.
Although a Crossfit program is random, an inexperienced coach can program workouts that are back to back accidentally that utilize the very same muscle groups in the same manner. This does not allow for proper recovery.
A great way to determine if the gym that you are considering has a plausible program, is to consult the blog content of their web site. It is within this section that you will be able to find out about the workout of the day and more. Look over the information and look for tell-tell signs such as three consecutive days of high reps or heavy shoulder movements. This is a clear indication that they do not program well.
Offers tip on nutrition, gear, etc.
Here's some more information: How to Find the Best CrossFit Trainer for You.
One common complaint about Cross Fit boxes is that they're quite expensive to join. That may be true, but when compared to a regular gym membership, you're basically paying for almost personal training for every single class.
That said, prices vary considerably among boxes so it can pay to shop around. Some gyms have an introductory deal, so be sure to ask what the regular price is when this time runs out.
Keep in mind that the majority of crossfit gyms offer free classes for beginners. It is in your best interest to attend [at least] a handful of free classes and compare them to one another. Determine where you feel the most comfortable, supported, [properly] pushed as well as safe.
Did they introduce themselves to you?
Are the class members and instructors supportive?
Is the coaching staff hands-on during the course of the class?
Of course, you'll also want to take into consideration the pricing structure. Some are far more expensive than others. Ask about deals and intro offers.
With the above information on how to find a CrossFit gym, you will be able to find the ideal CrossFit home for you. This is simply one step forward to better health and a more desirable physique.

Country Strong – Movie Review
In Country Strong, Gwyneth Paltrow stars as Kelly Canter, a country music star struggling with substance abuse. Taken out of rehab a month prematurely by her manager/husband James, portrayed by country star Tim McGraw, for an encore tour, the movie is supposedly about her struggling with her addiction, life, resurrecting her career, etc.
Throw into the mix Beau Hutton, played by Garrett Hedlund, a rehab worker who also happens to be a aspiring to become a country music star, as well as Leighton Meester starring as Chiles Stanton, a girl who also wants to become a country star and you're set for Country Strong.
So basically, you have four storylines in the movie being developed simultaneously, and while the prospect of these four storylines is compelling and promising, they fall flat in a movie that I hoped would be far better.
While the acting is quite good, this overload in the movie's plot undermines it. Within each storyline, you have a bunch of other things going on as well. Kelly's storyline serves as a vehicle for tackling issues with the entertainment industry as a whole, Beau's storyline is used to introduce romance into the movie, etc…
At one point in the movie, Leighton Meester's character is described as "the next Carrie Underwood". I like Leighton but to equate her vocal talents with half of Carrie's would be an abomination. She has limited range and while enjoyable as a singer, she is nowhere near a vocal powerhouse. So being the Carrie Underwood fan that I am, this served as another point I have against the movie.
A positive thing I can say about the movie is that even though the handling of the plots is full with cliches, the ending is not. I was hoping fifteen minutes into the movie that they would risk ending it the way they did. And I got my wish.
What also helps the movie is the soundtrack. Featuring many songs that I have become familiar with, I couldn't help but smile whenever they started to sing something that I know. Notable tracks include: Country Strong (lead single from the movie's soundtrack, made it to the top 30 on country radio), Coming Home (nominated for both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for best original song), Me and Tennessee (current single by Tim McGraw) and A Little Bit Stronger (current single by Sara Evans).
Overall, the cast give it their all. But Country Strong falls flat for tackling too many issues in, what ultimately becomes, a shallow and rushed manner. If they had stuck with the storyline of Kelly reclaiming her career, this movie and Paltrow's acting would have gotten award recognition, akin to the similarly themed-movie Crazy Heart, which earned Jeff Bridges his first Academy Award for best actor.

The Oscars Debrief
This year's award season to celebrate the high quality 2010 movies is over. The Academy has spoken and The King's Speech is the big winner.
The ceremony opened up with a very funny bit of montage with this year's hosts, James Franco and Anne Hathaway, doing acting bits in the Best Picture nominated movies. We were able to watch them be part of Inception, The Social Network, True Grit, The King's Speech, etc… and it was quite awesome. Anne Hathaway had some awesome lines, notably when, during her "role" in The King's Speech she says: "we come from the future with good news… we have smaller microphones" or when she freaks out Natalie Portman in Black Swan as the green duck.
And then they started their opening segment which was very dull apart from a couple Hathaway lines about how it's been a great year for lesbians and how getting naked isn't enough anymore to warrant a best actress nomination, taking a stab at herself for her mostly nude movie Love and Other Drugs.
Soon after that, Tom Hanks came on to present the first two awards of the night, Art Direction (Alice in Wonderland won) and Cinematography (Inception).
Then, Kirk Douglas came up to present Supporting Actress and I honestly thought it was torture. He kept pushing on the nominees' buttons and it was pretty interesting to see them getting prepared for the results only to see him divert the subject elsewhere. Melissa Leo won this, as expected, although many had predicted an upset (myself included). Melissa Leo then a very horrible acceptance speech where she dropped the F-word, only to become the night's go-to joke about acceptance speeches. Literally, everyone who won something referenced her in his acceptance speech.
However, soon enough, it began to look like The King's Speech was not going to own the night as many had predicted. The race was as close as it can be. Soon enough, even Alice in Wonderland had two Oscars.
Supporting Actor went to Christian Bale, as was pretty much expected. So if anyone believes the combination of a Screen Actors Guild Award and Golden Globe doesn't make you a lock for an Oscar win, this night proved you wrong. The "weakest" frontrunners in the acting categories came out unscathed and victorious.
In the meantime, Anne Hathaway continued a pretty overzealous and energetic hosting job by dressing up as man and taking a stab as Hugh Jackman (Or Huge Jackass as she named him) by singing and dancing about it. And just when you thought she dwarfed Franco beyond measure, he comes up on stage in pink drag. That was probably his most memorable moment. He just looked like he didn't want to be there.
Continuing with the awards, Inception received both Sound-related awards, to raise its total to three, leading the night. The Social Network scored two quick wins for Best Original Score and Best Adapted Screenplay, as expected.
Then there was a bunch of awards for short films most of us hadn't watched. Oprah then presented the award for Best Documentary. Inside Job won. I thought Oprah looked dead tired.
Documentary was soon followed by the nerve-wracking Film Editing. It has become known that the movie that wins Film Editing is the favorite to win Best Picture. And in a night where the combination of the awards handed out so far didn't single out a clear frontrunner, this award looked like it might seal the deal. The Social Network won this and adding to its Adapted Screenplay and Original Score, it looked like we might have a Social Network sweep – again.
Russell Brand and Helen Mirren presented Best Foreign Language Film and Helen Mirren came across yet again as a superb class act by addressing the audience in fluent French. All hail to the queen!
For you animation lovers, this year's animation phenomenon Toy Story 3 went home with the gold, winning two Oscars, one for Best Animated Feature and the second one for Best Original Song.
Speaking of Best Original Song, there were four performances, the highlight of which was A.R. Rahman and Florence Welch from Florence and the Machine singing "If I Rise". It was a chills-inducing performance and the song deserved to win. Gwyneth Paltrow sang nominated song "Coming Home" from her latest movie "Country Strong" and I thought she did well. Randy Newman, the writer of Toy Story's theme song "We Belong Together" mentioned how weird it was not to have a fifth song nominated. And I agree with this. "There's A Place For Us" by Carrie Underwood for the movie Chronicles of Narnia deserved a nomination.
Later on, Inception reclaimed its title for top movie of the night by earning its fourth Oscar for Visual Effects, a much deserved win – although my heart also wanted Harry Potter to snag its first Academy Award. Which reminds me, The Wolfman won for best makeup. And I thought it was an abomination how this movie gets to flaunt an Academy Award and the whole Harry Potter series has none. Having said that, Deathly Hallows Part 2 better bring it at next year's Oscars!
Speaking of Harry Potter, there was a funny segment as well about how "musicals" have been an important part of the business this part year. The segment comprised of dialogue parts from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, The Social Network and Twilight, among other movies, transformed into song. I thought it was pretty cool, actually.
And since it's not the Oscars without a proper "In Memoriam" segment, Celine Dion sang a beautiful rendition of "Smile" to a montage of the pictures of industry people that have left us, commemorating their memory.
Continuing with James Franco still looking like he'd rather be anywhere but the Oscars, we get to the final and most important stretch of the night. The last four awards: Director, actor, actress and picture.
Director comes up. Drumroll, please… and what do you know, it's our first major upset of the night. Presented by last year's undeserving winner Kathryn Bigelow (yes, I think The Hurt Locker is such an overrated movie!) Tom Hooper for The King's Speech overtakes David Fincher for The Social Network, who looked like a frontrunner for this category. Tom Hooper delivered a remarkable speech, telling the story of how if it weren't for his mother, The King's Speech wouldn't have been made. I have to say, British people make the best acceptance speeches. This win, however, brings us back to square zero in our movie frontrunner race. Best Picture is back up for grabs.
The Best Actress category was announced by last year's Best Actor winner, Jeff Bridges. And honestly, I much preferred last year's nominees introduction. It just seemed so bland and rushed this year around, like they simply wanted to get it over with. These are five women who gave it their all to be where they were, at least give them the decency of properly introducing them. I still get goosebumps when remembering how Stanley Tucci introduced the great Meryl Streep and how Oprah introduced newcomer Gabourey Sidibe last year… No surprise here, however, Natalie Portman won this. She acted surprised and I thought it wasn't that credible. Sure, you're happy and all but come on, you've seen this one coming since December. It's not like Jennifer Lawrence or Michelle Williams or even Annette Bening had a late moment surge in votes. She looked very pregnant and gave a pretty boring speech. I was thankful she did not mention her "sexual activities" with her fiance but she enumerated too many names than I care to remember. Last year's speech by sweetheart Sandra Bullock beats this by a country mile!
Contrast it with this:
Then it was time for yet another expected category with Best Actor. We all knew Colin Firth was going to win this, but what made the category extra-special was Sandra Bullock's introduction of the nominees. She walked the line between seriousness and humor so meticulously. She radiated with confidence. I think she should host next year's Oscars. She is just all kinds of awesome! So yeah, Colin Firth won. He opened up his speech about how he might have hit "the apex of [his] career" and then his speech became another snooze-fest. You'd think after all the rehearsals in the movie he won for and the fact that he is British and it's in their genes to deliver awesome acceptance speeches, he'd do a better job.
And then it was time for the moment of truth. Which movie would turn out a winner out of the two that are seriously left battling it out?
The King's Speech came out triumphant, bringing its total to four Oscars, tying it with Inception for first place. The whole cast and producers came on stage, a speech I did not care about ensued.
Following The King's Speech "expected" win, the P.S. 22 Chorus closed the night with their rendition of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", the winners joined them on stage. And we're out people!
All in all, I felt last year's Oscars had more prestige. I thought they didn't give the movies nominated for Best Picture their due. Each movie had a segment introducing it last year. This time around, the movies were parodied and barely mentioned when their category came up. Maybe the Academy personnel should care about delivering a better ceremony show suitable for the Oscars than a show to attract young viewers?

True Grit – Movie Review
Let me start by saying that I am not a fan of westerns. Telling the story of a one-eyed Marshall helping a young girl to find her dad's murderer, the movie transcends the Western stereotype I have come to associate with similar movies and found it to be a really enjoyable movie at that.
The Coen brothers' remake of the 1969 original movie is remarkable, currently nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards with its lead actor and actress nominated for their roles as well.
I will not go into the plot of the movie apart from painting out a general picture. Marshall Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) is hired by 14 year old Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) to kill her father's murderer. On their path, they meet up with a Texas ranger La Boeuf (Matt Damon) and together, the continue on their path to find the murderer, overcoming many hurdles.
What is really interesting in the movie is the community they are living in. I'm not sure how accurate a representation the movie is of a 19th century American Western community but the way law was enforced back then is quite fascinating. It it what moves the characters: their will to see justice enforced, regardless of how we currently view justice to be. Do you believe Mattie's pursuit to kill her dad's murderer is justified? or is she a hate-blinded fourteen year old? Do you believe Marshall Cogburn is a ruthless man who only seeks money or is he a compassionate person who really wants to see the killer brought to justice?
Jeff Bridges delivers a very strong performance. I cannot draw comparisons to his role in "Crazy Heart" which garnered him an Academy Award. But I have to say, I thought this was a more engaging performance. He delivers his sharp dialogue with a brilliant efficiency, helping the movie in its slow moments. Moreover, his embodiment of the "father-figure" for Mattie is filled with subtle nuances which make him assuming this role quite enjoyable to watch.
The breakthrough here, however, is the amazing Hailee Steinfeld. To say this teenager shines as Mattie Ross is the understatement of the year. Nominated for a supporting actress at the Academy Awards, I believe she belongs in the leading actress category. She is the movie. She is the main acting-driving force. Young as she might be, the other two men rarely do something without her approval – and it isn't because she's paying them. She portrays a very strong character and does so marvelously. In my opinion, her acting is the highlight of the movie.
All in all, True Grit might not be my favorite movie this year – especially with all the high-caliber movies that have been released. But True Grit excels at what it's meant to be: provide an enjoyable Western movie that helps break out the misconceptions some people might have about the genre, while serving as a vehicle for its acting personnel to shine. Look out for a possible Hailee Steinfeld upset at the Oscars this year.

The King's Speech – Movie Review
The King's Speech. The frontrunner at this year's Academy Awards, with 12 nominations, including best picture. Where do I start with this… if there was one performance to top what I think James Franco pulled off with 127 Hours (you can check out the review here), it would be Colin Firth.
His performance in the role of King George VI, the father of current queen of Britain Elizabeth II, is astonishing.
The movie's plot is, in a nutshell, the unexpected rise of Prince Albert, the Duke of York, to become King George VI after his older brother abdicates the throne. The twist? Prince Albert has a severe stutter that limits everything he does in life – from the moment he was a kid. So the movie is him, trying to learn ways to cope and overcome this stutter.
Any actor that can pull off that stutter for almost two hours deserves recognition. The stutter is so limiting, as I said, that there are moments where you simply hold your breath for this man as he tries to utter words that don't come out. There are other moments where you feel utter joy for him as sentences pour out of his mouth. Regardless of whether you actually know the history of Britain (I don't), Colin Firth is beyond credible in his impersonation of the character he portrays. He is up for best actor at the Oscars and is the favorite to win. And in all honesty, if either he or James Franco won, I wouldn't mind.
Off to the other cast in the movie. The other two notable actors are Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter. Geoffrey Rush was amazing. Probably my favorite in the best supporting actor race, although he will not win. His role is the unconventional speech coach Albert hires to help him with the stutter. His interaction with Colin Firth on screen is gold.
Helena Bohman Carter was very good as well as the supporting wife. She's always in the background. But she's like the catalyst that gets things going. She is up for best supporting actress for her role in this.
There's a couple of scenes that I think were brilliant but I can't divulge them here so I don't spoil them to anyone. However, to conclude this, the movie does not have dull moments. It keeps you engaged throughout.
And it also makes you want to visit London.
Another interesting thing to ask is, what would the current queen of Britain think about this movie?
Here's the trailer:


When Interra Credit Union decided it was time for a major upgrade of its video surveillance system, Joel Richard, Vice President of Retail Operations, and Brook Germann, Assistant Vice President of Facilities and Loss Prevention, turned to their security systems integrator Convergint Technologies.
Interra Credit Union of Goshen, IN, had a video surveillance system consisting predominantly of March Networks legacy recorders and analog cameras installed in 2006, as well as several third-party video devices acquired through mergers with other financial institutions. After a decade in service, it was time for an upgrade and the adoption of a more efficient and uniform enterprise-wide system.
After evaluating several vendor offerings in collaboration with systems integrator Convergint Technologies, Interra Credit Union decided to roll out a next-generation March Networks intelligent video solution. The offering checked all of Interra's requirements, and the credit union had always had a positive experience with its legacy March Networks systems, especially in terms of system reliability.

Robustus and M. rufus feed primarily on grasses which frequently contribute between 60 and 90% of the identifiable fragments of food in the stomach or faeces (Kirkpatrick, 1965; Griffiths & Barker, 1966; Chippendale, 1968; Storr, 1968; Bailey, Martensz & Barker, 1971; Bell, 1973; Griffiths, Barker & McLean, 1974; Dawson & Ellis, 1979). Dawson & Ellis (1979) found that grasses made up 61 % of the diet of M. robustus even though grasses constituted only 1 % of the ground cover at their study site.
This chapter considers the topic of constraint and in the following chapters we discuss variation within those constraints, or the set of adaptations which characterise the extant marsupials. Allometry Before we proceed further it is necessary to digress briefly and introduce the allometric methodology we shall use throughout this chapter. Readers wishing to avoid this discussion should proceed to p. 50. Many morphological, physiological and even behavioural features vary among individuals and species as a consequence of differences in body size.
Pahl (1984) has studied the diet and food selection of P. peregrinus in a series of plantations each containing different Eucalyptus spp. When offered a choice between leaves of different ages and species, P. peregrinus showed a preference for young foliage of E. ovata, E. radiata and E. maculata over old foliage of these species and foliage from understorey species such as Rubus fruticosus and Leptospermum juniperinum. E. cladyocalyx and Cassinia longifolia (Compositae) were avoided. The possums were in greatest abundance in plantations of the preferred eucalypts and these species contributed most to their diets.

Dr Payal's Suicide Shows Us That The Caste System Is A Cancer Indian Doctors Need To Eradicate
Tags:caste systemdiscrimination
Doctors understand early on that under our skin, all of us have the same blood, organs, and skeletons. Why, then, do Indian doctors continue a belief in the caste system?
I had spoken about this anecdote of my life on many an occasion with friends and even briefly online once last year under various contexts but it bears repeating now perhaps more than ever.
This incident occurred more than 12 years ago. Having joined as a post graduate in anaesthesiology in Pune, I was the junior most student in my department. As a newbie, I was used to the usual barrage of questions about my family, academics and all that. But early on, I had overheard queries asked of fellow juniors which had been unsettling and not necessarily in a 'ragging' sort of way. A certain conservative senior doctor had been asking around about the castes of the new doctors who had joined the hospital and eventually, came up to me while I was helping during a surgery and asked me bluntly – "Tera jaat kya hai? What is your caste?"
It was the first time in my life that a doctor had really stressed on my caste and I knew from previous encounters that this mattered to him. I told him frankly that I was a Thiyya. His nose crinkled and he frowned.
"I have never heard of Thiyya. Is that as good as a Nair or Nambiar?" he asked, as though we were discussing Baskin Robbin flavours.
(For those of you who need context, Nair and Nambiar would be considered 'high castes' in 'Mallu blood' hierarchy.) Now I knew I would be treated like crap once he realized I was not a high enough caste to matter so I said the first thing that came to my mind at that moment.
"Sir. Actually we Thiyyas are higher than Nairs and Nambiars in Kerala. We have always looked down upon them." A newfound respect dawned in my senior's eyes. Technically, I wasn't lying, you see.
Thiyyas have been associated with toddy tapping and so have been sitting on top of coconut trees, looking down on you all for generations! But honest to God, the treatment that I and my co-pg (also a Thiyya, by an insane coincidence) faced from that particular staff member changed from that day on. We were never mocked or treated like a low class by this individual ever again during our course.
I was lucky
This is a story the two of us laugh about even today while talking about it with our colleagues. But as I read about the suicide of a medical post graduate Dr Payal Tadvi from Nair hospital in Mumbai under pressure allegedly from repeated abuse from her seniors for her caste, I realize that I was actually lucky. Back then, the concerned doctor was not tech-savvy enough to Google about my caste. He did not have the presence of mind to confirm with any other Malayali about my claims of being an 'upper echelon' caste.
I was lucky. But so many still are not. And yes, I know this applies to all fields and professions in India (Bravo! Give yourselves a round of applause. What a thing to be consistent about.) but I am writing this specifically to call out the faculty and staff who are doctors.
Why doctors need to evolve beyond the caste system
Yes, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, you have been conditioned since childhood with certain belief systems that are ingrained in you by the time you enter the medical college. It reflects in your religious beliefs, your choice of food and what not. But you are a human being who can evolve when new knowledge is passed on to you.
After half a decade in the medical field and witnessing the miracle of birth from every conceivable angle, you no longer believe that babies are delivered by the stork, do you? Then how can the same you who has viewed thousands of slides of blood and every organ under the microscope, you has witnessed everything from dissections of dead bodies to operations on hundreds of living beings still believe in something as ridiculous as 'someone's blood or body being of a lower caste'?
Which pathology slide did you see a 'low caste' cell roaming around in?
When you ask for a blood donation, which test do you use to identify the caste?
When you deliver a baby, where do you look to see the caste?
Which part of your examination of a patient's beating heart reveals their caste to you?
Enough with the whataboutery
Enough about asking others to fix their problems first. Your justification for the existence and necessity of a caste system (and why some people should remain lower than you because of the blood in their veins) is what killed a young doctor this week in 2019.
Dr Payal was studying to be a gynecologist. There was nothing wrong with her blood. The problem was in the mind of the doctors in whom it had been ingrained that this woman was of a lower caste. To hell with sly tongued politicians, traditional beliefs and reservation systems – as a doctor, you owe it to society to have the basic decency to evolve enough to give up basic bigotry and then speak up so that no one else suffers this again. If you know a member in your department in a hospital is discriminating against a doctor or patient on the basis of caste, have the guts to call him/ her out, whether s/he is the head of the department or a brash hotshot.
Do what it takes so that in this system that is failing Indian doctors at so many levels from reservations to violence, a cancer as outdated as caste does not kill a young doctor ever again.
Unlike all the other maladies, we do not need government approval, MCI inspections, pharmac company funds or new age gadgets to eradicate casteism in the Indian medical field.
Over the years, I and my co-pg – two who should have been perched atop the coconut tree but instead ended up inside an operation theater – have probably relieved the pain of over 15,000 people of all ages, sexes, colours and religions. We have worked 36 hour shifts for years and struggled through insane hours and harrowing moments to keep you alive against terrible odds.
If, after this, all you see is our caste, then I pity you. And honestly, I don't know if I would ever want to be friends with someone like you.
Rest assured however, that should the time arise, I will look beyond my prejudices and still heal your pain unconditionally.

after several weeks of traveling non stop, my husband and i are home for a while and it feels great! i love having my kitchen and being able to cook dinner for us. inspired by my mother in law's amazing ahi tuna, i decided to try making a shrimp ceviche of sorts. however, in my version, the shrimp is cooked. this is a great dish to serve at a party or as an appetizer. it takes just a few minutes and will impress any guest. enjoy!
2-3 Serrano peppers with the seeds and insides removed, diced.
1 avocado, halved and cubed.
few dashes of hot sauce (I used Sontava).
2-3 cups peeled, deveined shrimp (I used frozen baby shrimp).
***my homemade taco seasoning consists of chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
combine 1 cup sour cream, half of an avocado, few dashes of hot sauce, 1 diced Serrano pepper (seeds removed), pinch of salt, pinch of pepper and juice of one lime in a blender and blend until smooth. I use the ninja blender and love it!
place in a squeeze/ squirt bottle and store in the refrigerator.
ps- we use this sauce on tacos, sandwiches, tostadas, etc. it's delicious!!
if the shrimp needs to be thawed, place in a strainer and run water over it for 2 minutes. it should be ready to use by then.
in a small skillet, begin cooking the peeled, deveined and tailless baby shrimp in a teaspoon of olive oil. I used frozen shrimp because it is easy to store.
remove shrimp from the heat and let it cool down.
in the meantime, take the other half of the avocado and cube it into small, bite size pieces. Add it to a bowl. to that bowl, add a teaspoon of chopped cilantro, 1 seeded and diced serrano pepper and about a handful of chopped scallions.
when the shrimp has cooled, quarter each piece and toss into the avocado mix.
next add several tablespoons of the Serrano cream sauce and stir.
top with a drizzle of more sauce, a few more scallions and serve with tortilla chips.


There's no doubt about it, keyboards can get messy over time. If you share yours with family members, friends, or co-workers, it's hard to predict just what might happen to it with so many people using it day to day. It can get germ-infested, someone could spill their drink on it – honestly, you never really know what harm can be done to your keyboard until it's already done.
That's the problem Cherry wants to solve. If you're unfamiliar, Cherry is a company who makes various accessories and add-ons for your computer. It develops software, keyboards, mice, and other utilities along with special tools for healthcare and industrial workers. One of its more popular products is the EZClean keyboard cover which the company offered us to check out. I've been using the keyboard on and off for a few weeks, and I can already tell who it's for.
For starters, the keyboard is an average keyboard. It has a normal layout for Windows systems (although I'm sure it'll work fine with Macs) and offers a mechanical typing experience. It's comfortable enough to type on for extended sessions and connects to your PC over a wired USB plug.
But that's just the keyboard which is, quite frankly, boring on its own. The real magic happens when you apply the EZClean cover.
Made of silicon, the EZClean protects your keyboard and makes it a lot easier to clean at the end of the day. Instead of getting a can of compressed air to get out any crumbs that might've fallen between your keys, you can simply brush them off since the cover blocks all the cracks. The cover also makes the keyboard splash-proof and blocks any liquids from damaging the keyboard itself.
At first glance, it doesn't seem that using the keyboard with the cover on top would be a pain, but it can be a bit uncomfortable. I'm noticing that since this is a mechanical keyboard with a decent amount of key travel, it takes more pressure to strike the keys in order to register each command. For quick typers like myself, this isn't exactly helpful. In fact, I prefer using the keyboard naked which is rather unfortunate and kind of defeats the purpose of the cover.
However! If you're a casual typer who doesn't have to pump out articles and reviews all day for a tech website, the EZClean cover won't likely bother you. The silicon is thin enough that basic typers likely won't have any issues. In addition, those who are clumsy with their keyboard or work in germ-infested environments such as hospitals, offices, and public spaces will find it much easier to clean and disinfect their keyboard, therefore making the trade-off of having a slightly worse typing experience a lot easier.
My conclusion? If you're concerned you might spill your coffee on your keyboard during your morning routine or work somewhere where you're constantly wiping your keyboard with Clorox wipes, the Cherry EZClean keyboard cover will greatly improve your lifestyle. But for serious typers, you may want to just be a bit more careful with your existing keyboard.

How a golden retriever saved the life of an abandoned baby koala
Yahoo News Australia 28 September 2018
A golden retriever has been hailed a hero after saving an abandoned baby koala's life by letting it snuggle in her fur.
Proud dog owner Kerry McKinnon, 45, got the shock of her life after discovering the tiny koala joey snuggled up with her five-year-old Golden Retriever Asha on Monday.
The mum-of-three, from Strathdownie in Victoria, said the koala likely became separated from its mother during the night and wandered onto her back porch, finding comfort in Asha's warm fur.
Temperatures in the area dropped to 5 degrees. Ms McKinnon said the helpless koala joey "never would have made it through the night" if it hadn't been cuddled up to Asha.

"It was quite early in the morning, and my husband yelled out to me to come have a look at something," she said.
"I didn't know what he was talking about at first but then I saw this tiny koala snuggled on top of Asha.
Ms McKinnon said she burst out laughing and her "poor" dog "didn't know what to think" and appeared confused.
"She looked a bit guilty when I came out to see what was going on. Her expression was hilarious," she said.
"She kept looking back at the koala but she wasn't trying to get him off her or anything. She was happy to let him snuggle into her."
Ms McKinnon believes the koala fell out of its mother's pouch and may have wondered over to the family's back porch to where the dogs sleep.
"Asha definitely saved the koala's life by keeping him warm," she said.
"He would have died out there if left alone all night. The poor thing could have been taken by a fox or something too."
The 45-year-old said it wasn't easy trying to separate the two – with the koala putting up a "huge fuss" when she tried to remove it from Asha's back.
She added the little joey is doing well after being checked out by a vet – and is now being looked after by a local koala carer until it can be released back into the wild.

"I think dogs have that protective instinct," Ms McKinnon said.
"The koala didn't want to leave Asha's back.
"When we took the koala off to wrap it in a blanket, it hissed at me and carried on.
"I think it would have been happy to have just slept there all day. It was really an amazing thing to see and so uniquely Australian."
The golden retriever's heroic feat has since gone viral on social media, with the adorable photos of the unlikely duo racking up hundreds of likes and shares online.
