Beware the dangers of food porn
By Doug Cumpton March 23, 2017
Food porn makes you hungry — it's a scientific fact. But can it also be doing you harm?
When you see that savory burger on Instagram, you feel it. Your eyes gaze upon that gastroporn (or "food porn" as we've all come to know it), and you begin to salivate, your stomach growls and your compulsive desire to eat something grows stronger. Food porn makes you hungry — it's a scientific fact. But can it also be doing you harm?
Why food porn is irresistible
Charles Spence is a professor at Oxford University who explores how people perceive the world around them, particularly how our brains process the information coming from our different senses. Your brain, he writes in this commentary for The Guardian, is your body's most blood-thirsty organ, using around 25 percent of total blood flow. It's in our DNA to find food, so it's not surprising that some of the largest increases in cerebral flood flow occur when a hungry brain is exposed to images of desirable food.
The food-porn phenomenon has exploded across social media channels, becoming an almost obsession for foodies and chefs. In 2015, food was the second most searched-for category on the internet, behind actual pornography. At the time of this writing, there were more than 211 million posts on Instagram using the hashtag #food and more than 116 million posts using the hashtag #foodporn.
There are methods to drive even more attraction to food images, according to Spence, who also advises companies on packaging and branding. He notes that showing food—especially protein—in motion (even if it's just implied motion) will elicit a stronger reaction, because it conveys freshness to the viewer. It also allows the viewer's mind to imagine the act of eating the food they are seeing.
The dangers of food porn
At Delicious Living, we know the power of appetizing imagery. But we're also keen to its dangers, which is why we feature nutritious, whole-food ingredients instead of butter-rich, outrageously caloric or sugary dishes. In his commentary, Spence alludes to the concerns of food porn, and why we should be wary of its growing popularity:
Food porn increases hunger. Viewing images of desirable foods provokes your appetite. In one study, participants watched a seven-minute restaurant review that was riddled with pancakes, waffles, hamburgers and other diner staples. This led to increased hunger ratings among not only participants who hadn't eaten for a while but also among those who had just finished a meal.
Food porn promotes unhealthy food. Many of the recipes that top chefs make on television are high in calories and use unhealthful ingredients. This has been proven through systematic analysis of TV chefs' recipes, which tend to be much higher in fat, saturated fat and sodium. While fewer than half of viewers went on to actually make those recipes at home, the concern is that the foods we see being made, and the food portions we see being served on TV may set norms for what we consider appropriate.
The more food porn you view, the higher your body mass index (BMI). Spence notes that the link is only correlational, not causal, but it's still noteable that people who watch more food TV have a higher BMI.
Food porn drains mental resources. Whenever we view images of food, our brains can't help but engage in mental simulation — we imagine ourselves eating that food. We therefore need to expend some mental resources to resist all of these virtual temptations. In other words, we can't get the thought of eating that food out of our heads after we see it, and in a lot of cases, we're going to choose the unhealthful food over a more nutritious choice.
Our brains are equipped to find sources of nutrition in food-scarce environments, Spence argues. But, unfortunately, we are surrounded by more images of unhealthy, high-fat foods than ever before — and we strongly desire to keep sharing those images. So, it begs the question, should we be practicing #healthyfoodporn?

Walnut & Park Café In Kalamazoo Adding 2nd Location
Mark Frankhouse
Mark Frankhouse Published: December 7, 2021
Walnut & Park Café, which is names after it's intersection street name locations has announced that they'll be adding a 2nd location inside of the new Harrison Circle Apartments building in Kalamazoo. In a Press release, KPEP announced how the new café plans to help students grow and prepare to enter the workforce:
Like the original Walnut & Park – named for its corner location in the Vine neighborhood – the new café is staffed largely by students of KPEP, a community corrections provider based in Kalamazoo. Led by a management team, the staff members are students or graduates of the KPEP hospitality program, a rigorous 8-week vocational training program that equips men and women who have been incarcerated with job skills to live independently.
The café is open every morning from 7 a.m. until 11 a.m. and can seat up to 32 people. Currently with a limited menu, they eventually plan to offer lunch favorites from the original location in the new one.
Harrison Circle Staying Busy
Harrison Circle Apartments have been busy since opening recently, and this 2nd location isn't the only thing that has been added. It was recently discovered that Brewery Outrè, which had been in the building which shares taprooms with Valhalla, already has signage up and there is lots of work being done on the interior, which you can see from the outside along with all the brewing equipment.
Harrison Circle apartments recently opened, offering what they consider to be low-income apartment rentals, along with fully priced apartments.
10 Southwest Michigan Small Town Restaurants You NEED To Visit
The nice thing about all these locations is that they'll take no more than an hour to get to and it's also a good chance to explore Southwest Michigan and do something off the beaten path. Here are 10 small town restaurants near us that you seriously need to check out:

I will see trainee counsellors for £35 an hour and people in receipt of benefits at a reduced fee by prior arrangement. I am happy to confirm by email or letter to their college that trainee counsellors have attended counselling for the required amount of sessions. I work from home in my bungalow which is in a cul de sac in a village with parking in the driveway or in large turning point at end of drive. There is also a public car park available in the village a couple of minutes walk away. I am happy to provide counselling either short term eg four to six sessions or long term eg twelve sessions or more. I am also willing to work with clients who just want to come for one session.
I trained on the Post Graduate Certificate of Person Centred Supervision Course with Temenos. I have several years experience of Person Centred Supervision as well as having supervised part time youth workers in my former role of Youth and Community Worker. I have supervised both qualified and trainee counsellors and see trainees & newly qualified counsellors working towards BACP registration for a reduced rate for both supervision and therapy. As a Youth and Community worker I have been employed by a variety of services, both local authority and voluntary organisations. I am happy to complete supervision reports and any other course requirement when working with trainee counsellors. As well as this I am available by email or phone between sessions if the trainee is particularly concerned about a client they are seeing at a placement while training.


With exquisite lines and a marked design, the Prague II Leather Queen Sleeper Sofa is a signature Lazar masterpiece. While the Prague will capture eyes for its looks--this styles offers an equal amount of comfort and quality construction. The kiln-dried hardwood frame with a lifetime warranty, along with a supportive back, well-padded arms and sinuous loop seat springs ensure terrific seating. Choose from a vast selection of top-grain leathers for the style's body and bolster pillows; then choose from over a dozen wooden feet finish options.
This couch is really lovely. The lines are modern and sleek. The microfiber fabric is soft. I upgraded the mattress and I am glad I did. The cushions are thick and comfy.
Now this right here? This is style. I put this in my home and I can see the jealous looks on all of my friends faces. That's when you know you got something good!
Such a lovely piece of furniture! It looks dramatic, but not over-the-top. It really is the centerpiece of my living room room.
I like the looks of this sofa, but what is the bed mechanism like? Is it metal? and is it comfortable?
The mechanism is similar to the bar and canvas system you've seen before, however it has been improved dramatically, with the bar moved down about two feet, away from the small of your back--which makes a world of difference. Also, the mattress included is a vast improvement over the industry average.

Q: Elegant way to remove brakets, apostrophe in pandas list whats the pandas way to remove the apostrophe, brakets, square brakets from a pandas row with a list?
eg:
a       b                 c       d               e
[178]   [4,7,178,351]  {11,3}  ['T178','S66']  ['4','2']

desired output
a       b                 c       d        e
178     4, 7, 178,351    11,3    T178,S66 4,2

A: If I understand your question correctly, given:
df = pd.DataFrame(["[178]","[4,7,178,351]","{11,3}","['T178','S66']","['4','2']"]).T

The following code solves your problem using applymap() and regex:
import re
df.applymap(lambda s: re.sub(r"[\[\]{}']", '', str(s)))
# output:
     0            1     2         3    4
0  178  4,7,178,351  11,3  T178,S66  4,2

Uncle Ray….the favorite-est…..always was; always will be. One will never forget the "always with it" guy who take the time to converse (with seemingly interest) to us kids…..even when one (or two) were goofy and nutsy………and even, after, when they became nutsy adults……..fondly and lovingly missing you forever.

Friday November 2, 2018: Kate is supportive of Sami, Sarah meets Mimi and Bonnie, and Lucas reams out Belle.
Sami sits at the mystery man's bedside as Kate appears, surprised that the man in the bed could be EJ. Sami tells her they're working on getting a DNA test. She fills Kate in on using Susan's hair from the Marlena doll she had made for her mother. Kate barks out a laugh. She thinks Sami should "look under the hood," knowing that DNA tests in Salem are always changed. Sami's shocked. Kate shrugs. It's not like she hasn't "seen it" before. They talk about Nicole's death and how Eric's blaming himself. Kate's off to Rex and Sarah's engagement party. Sami asks her to give them her best. By the hub, Chloe anxiously asks Kayla to do the DNA test, explaining she doesn't think that Baby Bonnie belongs to Lucas or Bonnie, that Mimi's the mother. Kayla realizes Chloe's keeping this secret and can't do the test without Mimi's consent. Chloe reminds Kay that she already gave it. She just wants it run once more with different markers. Kayla finally agrees but wonders if Lucas will be upset when he learns she went behind his back. Chloe looks worried. Sami rushes up to check on the DNA test results. Kayla doesn't have them. She's glad that "Ghoul Girl" doesn't have hers. They snark at one another over whose results are more important. Sami goes back to "EJ" and tells stories about their kids and the journey to find EJ.
Lucas and Bonnie make love on the sofa at Salem Inn. Bonnie wants to try for another baby. They kiss and Bonnie wakes up making out with her pillow. Grossed out, Mimi asks what on earth her mother is doing. Mimi tells her mom that Chloe's getting suspicious. Meems blames Bon Bon and says she's missing bonding time with her baby. They go to dinner.
Shawn and Belle stop Lucas and the baby in the square. Lucas gives Belle a chilly reception. Belle knows this is awkward and is apologetic. She tries to get Lucas to drop the case but he's not going anywhere. Shawn asks Lucas to calm down but Lucas will fight for his kid. He thinks she should focus on her family, then tells her Sami needs her. Belle doesn't think this is any of his business. Lucas snipes that it doesn't feel good to have someone stick their nose in your business. Has she even apologized for accusing Sami of shooting Marlena? Lucas stomps off and Shawn asks what's going on. Bonnie and Mimi wander up. Shawn congratulates Bonnie on her baby who takes after her mother. Things are awkward so the women leave and Shawn comments on the strangeness. Belle snarks that he doesn't know the half of it. She realizes Lucas is right and that she's been a terrible sister to Sami.
Rex and Sarah have dressed for the engagement party. Sarah feels bad for leaving Holly but Rex reminds her that Eric will be with her. Rex loves her compassion. They talk about having kids one day and smooch.
Roman and Maggie decorate Doug's Place as they wish for the best for Rex and Sarah. Lucas arrives with the kid and helps Roman move tables. They discuss the mystery patient possibly being EJ and then Roman fawns over Baby Bonnie. Bonnie and Mimi arrive outside. They realize that the restaurant is closed. Rex and Sarah walk up and Bonnie comments on how awkward it is. Introductions and congratulations are made. It's uncomfortable. Bonnie's thankful to meet her Mikey's daughter. Sarah invites them to the party. Inside, Kate moons over the baby as Lucas texts Chloe, asking where she is. Kate greets Maggie. She says Victor's worn down by all their houseguests. Rex and Sarah head in and he tells her that Mimi's his ex and that her mother's suing his brother for custody of their kid. Sarah had no idea. He's never mentioned Mimi. Outside, Mimi gripes at her mother, then they head inside. Rex gives Mimi the kid's sock.
Belle goes to Sami at the hospital. Sami's annoyed. Belle tries to touch her sister and Sami snaps to leave her alone. She doesn't need her pity. Sami cries as Belle holds her close. By the hub, Chloe gets DNA results and Kayla brings Sami hers.
Back at Doug's Place, Maggie toasts Rex and Sarah, knowing Mickey would be happy that their families are being joined in marriage. Rex is next. He calls his bride-to-be beautiful, intelligent and kind. Rex toasts Lucas and his baby girl, then Chloe walks in, wide-eyed and with the DNA results.
Chloe tells a massive secret.

Swishy animation shows off Network Rail's plans for Pontypridd station
– Monday, Jun 2, 2014Posted in: photos, Places, railways, wales, Wales
Network Rail has uploaded a slick video showing off the proposed improvements to Pontypridd station in the south Wales Valleys.
As part of a £24m scheme to improve the facilities and accessibility at five stations in Wales, Pontypridd's station forecourt, entrance and platforms will be 'transformed.'
Access to the island platform – once the longest in the world – will be improved with a lift from the street to platform level and a new footbridge and lifts, making it easier get from one platform to another.
The project involves the installation of a new bay platform and passing loop to enable more trains to serve the Pontypridd to Cardiff line as part of the Taff Rhondda turn-back scheme, as funded by the Welsh Government.
I rather liked this user comment to the video:
Is there any contingency for trains to actually stop at the station, or just to sail through leaving a remarkably calm set of people on the platform? And it looked like one of those trains was actually on time, which is a bit far fetched… even for a CGI Pontypridd wonderland.
Pontypridd station history
Built by the Taff Vale Railway (TVR) and opened on 9 October 1840, the station was known as Newbridge Junction until March 1866 when it was renamed Pontypridd.

Wikipedia explains how the station developed:
It was progressively remodelled during the 19th century, but its present appearance derives largely from reconstruction carried out between 1907 and 1914. A reflection of both the narrow steep sided geography of the valley, as well as the need to accommodate many converging passenger routes with passing coal trains, it is effectively designed as two back-to-back termini.
This gave it the then longest platform in the world, capable of accommodating two full-length trains on each side of a stepped island platform, as well as additional trains in bay platforms. In total, the central island platform provided seven platform faces, including two bay platforms at the north for services to Aberdare, Nelson and Ynysybwl, and one at the south for services to Llantrisant and Cowbridge.
The station retains its long canopy and there's still a wealth of interesting architectural detail remaining, including the ornate ironwork around the stairwells leading to street level and the rather lovely terracotta and red brick walls.

CleanTech Environmental Inc. submitted an application to the Department of Toxic Substances Control for approval to construct and operate a used oil recycling facility. The project consists of making a final decision on CleanTech's permit application. If approved, the Permit would allow CleanTech to construct and operate the facility. CleanTech collects used oil from offsite generators (gas stations, oil changers, auto repair shops, etc.) and consolidates the used oil in tanks at the facility. The used oil is treated by blending, gravity separation, and by adding a chemical reagent if necessary, to remove metals and enhance dehydration, to meet the recycled oil standards. CleanTech would then certify the treated used oil as "recycled oil." CleanTech also collects drums of used oil, waste antifreeze, and non-RCRA wastewater and stores them in a drum storage area. The liquid waste in containers may then be pumped into the appropriate storage/treatment tanks. Additionally, CleanTech collects drums of solid waste include including solid waste contaminated with oil, oil/water separation sludge, contaminated soil with oil, contaminated containers, etc., and places the drums into the drum storage area.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) — From Google to Facebook to Apple, Haiti's Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe took a whirlwind tour through Silicon Valley's most elite tech firms, persuading some of the world's wealthiest and most successful corporate executives to share support and innovation with the poorest country in the Americas.
"Oh cool!" he said Wednesday, slipping on Google Glass — Internet-connected eyeglasses — at Google Inc.'s headquarters before a cruise in the company's driverless car.
Lamothe joins a growing stream of politicians, celebrities and CEOs taking these popular roadshows where they do a little business, a little schmoozing and quite a bit of questioning about how technology can change lives.
"Even if we do need water, we need the technology to know the areas where we have issues with water supply in order to create a better inventory," he said. "Technology can help us bridge the development barrier we have today."
If there was an opposite of the affluent Silicon Valley, where entire municipalities have free Wi-Fi, it could be impoverished Haiti, where fewer than 1 percent of Haitians are regularly online.
But worlds collided in a conference room at Facebook when Lamothe jumped into a question-and-answer session and watched hundreds of Haitians' questions pour in.
When Jean Amos Bonhomme, a father of two who lost his home in a devastating 2010 earthquake, typed in that he needs a job and included his phone number, Lamothe shocked the man by calling him directly and asking what his skills were. Bonhomme said he's a teacher and an accountant, and speaks English. Lamothe told an aide to set up an interview.
"These are the enjoyable times for being prime minister," said Lamothe, "when I can make a direct difference in a person's life."
Although Haiti lacks much infrastructure, there are Internet cafes throughout the capital Port au Prince, and cellphone use is leapfrogging landlines. Some of the millions of dollars of earthquake relief and recovery aid has been spent on trying to get the country wired, including a $3.9 million program launched this fall to deploy 65 miles of optical fiber in the country's southern region.
On Wednesday, Lamothe was sharing his vision for an even more wired Haiti, which begins with gathering data, from mapping all of the health clinics to conducting a census-like count of the population. The country has no ZIP codes and would like to replace its mail address system, which includes mentioning proximity to mango trees or intersections, with geolocation.
At Google, executives agreed to Lamothe's request to get updated satellite images for Google Earth. Last updated after the earthquake, hundreds of thousands of tents are no longer there, and many new buildings have gone up.
Google also committed to sending servers to Haitian Internet providers that will cache information, and the tech giant re-upped its donation of a package of online services that provide email and other services for more than 3,000 government employees, a benefit that usually costs $50 per person.
At Facebook, he tried out a new app designed especially for political leaders to be closer to their constituents; he liked it, and on Monday after it's installed, he plans to be the first head of state to use it.
While this was Lamothe's first visit to the tech titans, the Prince of Asturias made the rounds just last week and South Korea's ambassador to the United States, Ahn Ho-young, swung through in August. The campuses are varied and impressive, with unusual features from Google's bowling alley to a small Wizard of Oz mock-up of Dorothy's house at Facebook, complete with smashed witch legs.
"These businesses have a very progressive culture, one that understands that investing in the employees will pay great dividends," Lamothe said. "They take care of everything — free meals and free snacks — and that leads to being able to get maximum productivity."

Always seek the advice of your physician or another qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or treatment and before undertaking a new health care regimen, and never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on this website.
I must always remind readers to read our medical disclaimer. I do this not because I don't believe in the protocols that I recommend. I do it because most alternative healing is not accepted in westernized cultures, and I could be fined for giving what is considered 'medical advice'.
My perspective, however, is that all healing is not 'medical'. Some treatments involve diet, lifestyle, spirit, state of mind, and even miracles.
There are other more practical reasons why I must stress reading our medical disclaimer.
I am unsure of your conditions, and if the diagnostics (namely blood work) accurately identifies that you have a condition.
I prepare for examinations and labs nearly a month in advance. I following each of the pillars of optimal health up to the day that I am examined. I do this because test results can be throw off by lifestyle choices, and before you know it, you believe that you have a condition that you may not. Diabetes and cholesterol are good examples of this phenomenon, whereby poor test results can be affected by not preparing for the test.
I am simply unsure if you have the condition that you believe that you have. The result you received could be temporary.
I am unsure of the medicines that you are taking and the effects that they have on your body. Your condition could be related to prescription medicine, and only you know what medicines you take.
I am unsure of your lifestyle. With holistic healing, everything is related to health, mind, body, and spirit. I just don't know your status in this regard.
I don't know your spirit. Your spirit and attitude effect the production of chemicals in your brain and therefore your overall health. Holistic healing requires positivity, confidence and courage. It requires surrender to a power higher than man. Even if one followed the regiments that I suggest, they may not work if your mind is not right for the holistic health journey.
The bottom line is that designing your health plan is personal.
There are many aspects of 'your being' to which only you are aware. Complimented by advice from medical and naturopathic practitioners that you trust, must ultimately define your regiment and the pace to which you will make the necessary lifestyle changes.
So, please read our medical disclaimer statement. Alternative regiments work best if you practice a holistic lifestyle and believe in the benefits of the regiments you follow.

Savings are expressed as budget authority and were calculated by comparing current spending levels to estimated levels if FY 2008 had increased spending only for inflation. The FY 2014 funding level of $569.9 million can be found on page 122 of House of Representatives, 113th Congress, 2nd Session, "Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill, 2015." The 2008 spending level of $423.7 million can be found on page 273 of "Fiscal Year 2010 Congressional Budget: Nuclear Physics, Funding Profile by Subprogram", . Estimated spending if held constant at the 2008 spending level was calculated by increasing the 2008 amount according to inflation in the CPI, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, from 2008 to 2013. Had spending increased only with inflation, spending in 2014 would have been $476 million, as compared to the enacted level of $570 million. The $94 million difference between the two spending levels was increased at the same rate as discretionary spending in the CBO's most recent August 2014 baseline spending projections.
The Office of Nuclear Physics supports theoretical and experimental research in the field. The Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation conduct nearly all basic nuclear physics research. Research groups at 90 public and private universities, and nine federally funded laboratories (including Brookhaven, Oak Ridge, and Los Alamos), are exploring heavy ions, medium-energy physics, low-energy research, theory, accelerators, and isotopes. Much like the High Energy Physics program, funding for the Nuclear Physics program has become excessive. Program funding should be returned to the FY 2008 amount of $423 million.

WENDY KIRKLAND - Taking A Huge Step Forward
Photographs courtesy of Mark Ludbrook of SportsShots.co.uk
After the success of her debut album, Piano Divas, pianist/singer Wendy Kirkland has followed this up with an new recording that positively oozes attitude. With an album that takes lessons learnt from the earlier set, Kirkland has taken her music along a more contemporary path, and in doing so has ensured that she will not lose of the following she has already built up, but also taken her music forward which will ensure that The Music's On Me will also appeal to an audience that likes their jazz with a bit more edge.
Another thing that becomes readily apparent on the new recording is just how good a pianist Kirkland is, an aspect of her work that is, on this outing, given far more prominence. It was therefore a real pleasure to have the opportunity to talk to Wendy about the album.
"The new album was intended to be a development from my debut", says Wendy. "While it was successful, I just knew that I, and the band were capable of performing more challenging music in different styles we didn't include on the Piano Divas. Because of the tour last year, and because I was lucky enough to get Arts Council England Lottery funding to support it, I think we consolidated our set and our line-up to the point where we wanted to be playing more challenging and original material, rather than record another album of standards, which is fine of course, but I didn't want to go down that road again."
The material on The Music's On Me has a much more contemporary feel, and a seems to dig in a bit harder with some of the solos. So I ask Wendy about the choice of material and overall concept for the album. "The new album is a collection of original songs, songs created from compositions by Michel Petrucciani, Don Grolnick, Russell Malone and Wes Montgomery and a few selected but unhackneyed standards which we toured last year but were not on the Piano Divas album. It's a consolidation of our work on tour and a development of the band and material" explains Wendy. "Pat (Sprakes) and I had long admired some of the material we adapted for the album; he is a big fan of Wes Montgomery, as am I, but the existing words to 'West Coast Blues' left us a bit nonplussed. To Pat, the relaxed nature of Wes and his playing style suggested something more than the interpretation that the initial lyrics indicated. Pat wanted it to reflect the colour blue, so he sketched a few lyric ideas out and I knocked them into shape! It makes sense, as his dad is a known artist, John Sprakes, who has painted coastal scenes in Norfolk and Suffolk."
Of the some of the other material, she continues "I've always loved 'Playground' by Russell Malone, so I added lyrics to it – a sort of celebration of a musical coming together of two imaginary children that could be Pat and me. In fact, the words I wrote are partially biographical, I did used to sing harmony in year three school assembly, and get some really weird looks from the other children but my take was, everyone else is singing the tune, why shouldn't I make it more interesting with a harmony? So, this song is a celebration of our life in music.I'm so glad you think the performances dig in more than the last album – it's something I wanted to convey because it's been swinging and digging in on tour for over a year – those who missed our live performances wouldn't have known that. So at least I'm pleased that we got this down for those people, and hopefully we'll convince them to see us on tour this year! Live gigs is where it's at for me."
As well as the core quartet, you also feature a couple of special guests. How did you decide who to feature on the album, and why? "We've all worked quite a bit with both Roger Beaujolais and Tommaso Starace, so they seemed the natural choice, say the pianist. "Personally I'm a big fan of vibraphone and Roger's style of playing and I've been looking for an excuse to book Roger on something for a while! Tommaso has brought such energy to the party when he's appeared at Chesterfield Jazz Club; so they both seemed like the natural choice really."
One of the noticeable differences between the two albums is that there seems to be much more of Wendy's wonderful piano playing to the fore. In particular on 'Pools' in which she takes a solo that is jaw dropping. So this begs the question, is she a piano player who also sings, or as a singer who plays piano? "I'm glad you think so as that was the intention and I'm really pleased it's translated over to you that way. I feel my piano playing has either improved a lot or I've learned to like it more! The only criticism I had from punters was there 'wasn't enough piano' on the first album, which isn't really a criticism is it? So I was attempting to give them more piano now I feel much more confident about it. I feel like I'm constantly fighting those who describe me as 'a singer' which is 100% fine if you're a singer, but I was hoping to highlight my piano a bit more with the new album. To answer your question – I started out as a pianist and see myself that way, so I'm a piano player who also sings."
As well as singing, Ms Kirkland has also turned to writing, as there are more original compositions on The Music's On Me, so is writing her own material something that she would like to develop further? "Yes, it is. Pat and I have been writing for years but some of the compositions remained either unfinished or unused, because we didn't have the wherewithal to perform them on the gigs we were doing, mostly straight ahead jazz. We thought it was time to show our compositions to the world, so here they are! There will be more to come…"
More to come I'm sure as Wendy has now appeared to have opened the floodgates, and the music is just pouring out, but this hasn't always been the case. Before turning to music as a full time career, Kirkland had a successful career in an altogether line of work. Taking up the story, Wendy says " I was just finishing a job as a fairly disillusioned engineer. Despite my degree in Mechanical Engineering I was still being given the least challenging and interesting design jobs at work, then moving into engineering software sales I found myself patronised by a manager that was less qualified and several years younger than me. I'd had enough – so I decided to go into another male dominated industry, I think I must be a sucker for punishment or something! Joking apart – I was still performing in covers bands in addition to holding down a full-time job and basically push came to shove. I realised I didn't want to give up music so I had to give up my job. I retrained as a teacher, taught music for 2 years part time in a secondary school so I could get my QTS, then it was out into the world of freelance work I went."
Having taken the plunge and turned professional, there were many who appreciated her talents more than Wendy herself, and for many years a recording seemed long overdue. However, it was to be some twenty years after making music her career that the debut album Piano Divas finally materialised, so why the long wait I ask Wendy? After taking time to consider her answer, she replies "I didn't think I was good enough, basically! I recorded an album about fifteen years ago and found the whole experience so stressful, I left it for a while! Throughout the recording, the engineer and some of the other musicians were talking about other pianists they had been working with, how good they are etc. that I ended up a gibbering mess. I used to be so sensitive to what people said about other pianists, and I thought it was being said to put me down. Over the years I've learned that musos big up other players either because they want to be associated with them, or they don't have anything else to talk about. Also, I'm a lot more confident these days. When someone says to me 'have you heard that <insert other pianist name here> play? Now THAT's a pianist!' I just smile and think 'and so am I.'"
So just how did she get into playing music, and in particular jazz? "Dad has always played piano and organ in the clubs – Miner's Welfares and Working Mens' clubs, in the 1970s there was a big scene and good backing bands were hot property. He'd play his busking books at home preparing for backing someone like Marti Caine, Shane Fenton and Paul Shane when they were on the circuit. I wanted to learn to play piano like him, but it was Mum who paid for our lessons. So between them, they are responsible!" she laughs modestly. "I started learning the piano at around 10, along with Laura, one of my sisters who also still plays and teaches a lot. We were classically trained and worked our way through the ABRSM grades, she's also done a Higher Certificate so is officially better qualified than I am! Somewhere along the way I decided I liked jazz harmony better than classical, although I'd always been a fan of the French impressionist composers who were themselves jazz influenced, or who influenced jazz. My dad brought home a load of books from a teacher he knew who was retiring. I was about 14. Among them were the solo transcriptions from Time Out and Time Further Out by the Dave Brubeck band. I sat and played through them as sight reading practice and I was instantly hooked – I was aware that Dave was 'making it up' on the spot and I wanted to learn how to do that. Unfortunately my piano teacher, though very highly respected and qualified, was neither a jazz fan nor able to show me any jazz theory, so for years I just listened to Oscar Peterson and Dave Brubeck play music that was a mystery to me!"
Luckily for us, Wendy found someone to unravel the mystery for her, as she elaborates. "initially I'd say my good friend Bill McCreath who I met at Sheffield Jazz workshops on Saturday mornings back in 2000. The tutor there was guitarist Chris Walker who was very supportive. Bill wanted to start a Nat Cole style trio, and it was he who shoved Diana Krall albums into my hand and said 'Here – go and listen. You can do that' by which he meant play and sing. He and I did lots of gigs in Sheffield. Later I had piano lessons with Kate Williams, Jamil Sherriff and Steve Melling, all of whom helped me in some way. Kate was the only prominent UK jazz pianist who answered an email I sent out asking for advice. This was around 2000. I'll never forget what she said – 'don't underestimate the amount of time it will take to learn jazz piano'. She was completely right. Jamil asked me if I was aware I didn't have a 'fifth gear' so I have been working towards that! I find this kind of constructive criticism vital, in fact I thrive on it."
Pausing for thought, she adds "I think Steve Melling has been the most influential pianist though - his playing is so full of energy and wit. Earlier this year I was lucky enough to perform with Steve in the Steinway Two Piano concerts at Pizza Express in Soho, and I haven't come down since. It was a life changing experience. However I think I'll give the most credit to my husband, Pat, who has been supportive of everything I, and we have done together. So he's the one I think is the most influential musician; despite being a guitarist he's a big fan of piano, and I'm a massive guitar fan too!"
When not busy enough touring and recording, Wendy and Pat also run the highly regarded Chesterfield Jazz Club. "We were approached by top saxophonist Tony Kofi;", explains Wendy. "Pat and Tony would go out in the 1990s three or four nights a week gigging in Nottingham and Derby, and the Edinburgh festival! Then Tony moved to London, Pat didn't, and the rest is history. I think Tony's got some family still quite local and he suggested we get together for a gig somewhere – but we didn't have anything in our own area to offer him. We'd been talking for a while about how we could get some of the UK's best players to work with us and also provide a jazz night in Chesterfield, which didn't have anything similar at the time. Tony's contact prompted us to stop prevaricating and we invited him to do our opening night in 2012. In addition, our good friend Dan Johnson, also a jazz guitarist, was at the time running the jazz guitar shop at Foulds Music in Derby. Through his connections at trade shows he'd become friends with US guitar star Sheryl Bailey and it turned out she was over in the UK touring and crashing at Dan's – so we booked her as well! We had around 200 people for our first night, which was rather overwhelming. I was so nervous I made a bad job of a rhythm changes tune, but Sheryl and Tony were gracious enough not to mention it!"

Seven years later, the club is still going strong so what is the secret to running a successful venture like this with no external funding? "The booking policy is simple, we're a house band gig, no full bands, and we work with musicians who are easy to get on with. Thankfully the very best players are often so easy to get on with, and so supportive, because I suppose they've no axe to grind. I get loads of requests from full bands but we can't accommodate them because we rely solely on ticket sales for income. Well, there's an exception to that rule. We met our bassist Paul Jefferies because he approached me for a gig at the club. He was running Burton's Jazz on Tap at the time. I gave him my usual 'sorry, we're a house band gig' spiel and then thought, wait a minute, we can a gig at Burton Jazz! So the gig swap was born!" Obvious game plan, isn't it, although Wendy continues with no little exasperation, " However, it's never ceased to amaze me how many other people can't get their heads around the idea. Once I was approached by a musician looking for gigs for his band, and after I'd explained for the third time about the gig swap idea, there was a short silence, then he said 'so, how much are you going to pay us then?' He just didn't get it – we come to your club and do a gig, and you come to ours. We each keep the door take at our club. That way the incentive to publicise the gig is in the hands of the club not the musician, just how it should be – and no money needs to change hands. Skill swap innit? In case you're reading this and want a gig, folks, drop me a line!" she laughs. "As regards our audience, we've never got 200 again but we do have a healthy audience which is growing. There's a core of incredibly supportive people, some of them are musicians themselves, some of them are appreciators of music. All of them make the club what it is. I think they are the most important part of the club – without them, we do not exist."
And what plans for the future for Wendy? How does she see her music evolving? Without hesitation she answers, "A third album, this time in Pat's name. It will feature him but of course I'll be on keys! Then a third Wendy Kirkland album, perhaps next year, if I've paid off the overdraft I've run up with this latest one. Despite crowdfunding being a massive help, it's only covered about half of the costs. Hopefully we'll sell a few CDs to recoup the loss.
"Musically though, I'd like to bring more original material in although I'm aware that people sometimes shy away from originals, that's the way I see it going. Endless albums of standards is not the way forward for me, or for Pat. Oh, and I want a Prophet synth so will need to save up for that!"

New method reads the genetic code directly in tumour tissue
RSS Print
Working at SU
Accurate diagnostic tests are crucial when choosing the right treatment regime for cancer patients. This is why scientists from Stockholm University and Uppsala University continuously work on improving methods for analysing cancer tissues. For the first time, it is now possible to read the genetic code of individual cancer cells in their original location in the tissue. The results are published in Nature Methods.
Mats Nilsson, Prof. Biochemistry/Molecular Diagnostics
Today 30-40% of the population in Europe will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. With new advanced tools to study protein, DNA and RNA in tissue or blood samples from patients a new era of personalized medicine has been entered. Personalized medicine at its best will provide the right drug in the right dose to the right patient, thereby minimizing unnecessary suffering and increase response to therapy. This demands sophisticated diagnostic tests.
The research group headed by Mats Nilsson, professor of Biochemistry/molecular diagnostics at Stockholm University, has since the beginning of year 2000 developed new diagnostic tools based on analysis of genetic information (DNA and RNA) in cells and in body fluids. During this time, DNA sequencing technologies have seen a rapid development and this has revolutionized large-scale biology research.
"We can now use sequencing chemistry directly in cancer tissue speciemens to read the genetic code and obtain information of specific RNA molecules in individual cells in their original context in the tissue. This is the first time in situ sequencing has been performed in this way and it offers obvious advantages," says Mats Nilsson.
By in situ sequencing the amount of RNA expression in both tumour cells and in the surrounding environment of stromal cells can be analysed. It is known that not only the tumour cells are of importance for cancer growth but also how they interact with the cells surrounding the cancer cells. Existing methods have not been able to resolve this complexity in tissues.
"Combining the detailed information from existing single cell analysis with our in situ sequencing method can be powerful and find great use in both research and diagnostics," says Mats Nilsson.
The method developed by Mats Nilsson and the other researchers at Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) use sequencing for the study of numerous different markers and mutations at the same time. Here, 39 different RNA molecules are analysed in the same tissue and provide a more complete picture than the standard laborious method used by pathologist today.

Over at The Contemplative Mammoth, Jacquelyn Gill suggests that it would be really helpful for young academics and grad students to see "shadow CVs" of established researchers, as a way of benchmarking their own career progress. Your "shadow CV" includes all your rejected papers and grant applications, all the jobs you applied for but didn't get, etc. It's also called "CV of failures", but personally I prefer "shadow CV".
I think this is a really neat idea. Much as publication biases cause the published literature to present a distorted view of the results of science as a whole, our real CVs give a distorted view of the results of our careers as a whole.
Now, I think you'd want to look at many shadow CVs, since every one will have unique features. You'd also want to see shadow CVs from people holding many different positions at many different places. You don't just want to compare yourself to, say, the very top people in your field, as that's not the standard by which you'll be judged.
I also think you'd want to complement your inspection of shadow CVs with hard data. Public funding agencies publish their grant rejection rates, and in the US and Europe those rates are really high–the vast majority of applications get rejected. Cassey and Blackburn (2004) surveyed successful ecologists and found that 22% of their papers were rejected at least once, and 72% had at least one paper they'd never been able to publish. If you get rejected, you're in good company.
Worth noting that standards change over time. I landed a plum postdoc, and then was regularly interviewed for faculty positions, despite having less than 5 publications to my name. Now, they were all first-authored publications in good journals, and things like reference letters matter a lot. But I do wonder if times have changed to the point where my 2000-era self would've had difficulty even getting a postdoc, much less a faculty position. I honestly don't know the answer.
Anyway, here, as best as I can recall it (since I didn't keep track of a lot of this stuff at the time) is my shadow CV. For context, my real CV, which needs a bit of updating, is here.
I didn't get into Duke.
I didn't get into Washington or Oregon State. There might've been one or two others I applied to but didn't get in.
Near the end of my postdoc, I applied for a second one at NCEAS. I didn't get it (and quite rightly; my proposal was a fishing expedition and was spotted as such).
I've interviewed for 13 or 14 faculty positions in my life. I've only ever been offered the job I currently hold.
I applied for many more faculty jobs than the ones I interviewed for. Don't recall how many–over 50, I'd guess. I used to know about how many it was, because I kept all the rejection letters from the ones that bothered to send rejection letters. When I finally got the Calgary job I took all the rejection letters and ripped them to pieces.
I haven't applied for large numbers of grants in my career, because of the way my postdoc was funded and the way the Canadian funding system works.
As a postdoc, I once helped some colleagues write an NSF grant on which I was to be the postdoc if it was funded. I obviously couldn't be listed as a co-PI on that grant, so it's not on my CV even though it was funded (I didn't take the postdoc because I'd gotten the Calgary job by that point).
I've had a grant application to the James S. McDonnell Foundation rejected. That one stung a bit, my collaborator and I had worked hard on it and we had every reason to think we had a decent shot.
I didn't get the only NSERC Research Tools and Instruments grant for which I applied.
I once submitted a long-shot preliminary proposal to an agency I can't recall (it was a long time ago). No full proposal was invited.
I applied to spend a year at Wissenschaftskolleg du Berlin; my application was declined.
Below is a lower bound on my rejections; I'm sure I'm forgetting at least some, and quite possibly many.
Hausch et al. in press Ecology was rejected by Ecology Letters and Ecology before eventually getting into Ecology following resubmission.
Fox et al. 2017 was rejected by Nature (after review and revision) and Ecology Letters (after review) before getting into Nature Ecology & Evolution. Still bummed about that, as I think very highly of that paper. But not everyone does.
Hausch et al. 2017 was rejected by two or three leading EEB journals before getting into Ecology & Evolution.
Fox et al. 2010 was rejected without review from a leading ecology journal before being published in an equally-leading journal with the best reviews I've ever gotten in my life. Go figure.
Vasseur and Fox 2009 was initially rejected by Nature with an invitation to resubmit with additional data. We collected the additional data, resubmitted, and were accepted.
Fox 2007 was rejected by at least three leading ecology journals, despite substantial revision after each rejection. I gave up and re-framed the paper to address a completely different issue than I'd originally intended and it was finally published.
Fox and Barreto 2006 was rejected by several leading ecology journals. I gave up and sent it to an obscure venue just to get it published–and it was recommended by Faculty of 1000. Go figure.
Fox 2006 was rejected by Nature before being published in Ecology. The Nature reviewers were quite positive, but wanted to see some illustrative applications to real data. Which I'd thought about including in the original submission, but decided against it because I was having trouble squeezing them in and felt like they didn't add enough to the central conceptual insights. Still kicking myself over that one.
Fox et al. 2000 was rejected after (pretty good) review by Science before being published in Ecology Letters, if memory serves.
I have a paper on experimental evolution of bacteria in response to different C:N ratios that's never been published. Several leading journals rejected it. So did PLoS ONE (!)* I gave up on it for years, then revisited it and heavily revised it for BMC Evolutionary Biology. Was offered the chance to revise further, but I didn't have good ways to address the reviewers' (quite reasonable) major concerns, so I never submitted the revision. Am contemplating whether to bother trying to publish a "here's what I found, it's intriguing but hard to interpret and needs follow up" paper somewhere just to get the data out there. I'm not likely to follow it up myself, my research has gone in a different direction.
I have an experimental paper on higher order interactions that was rejected years ago.
*I have a colleague who does amazing work who's also been rejected from PLoS ONE. PLoS ONE of course says that they judge papers only according to "technical soundness", which means that in theory getting rejected from PLoS ONE should be embarrassing. Personally, I'm not embarrassed, as I hear that the PLoS ONE editors are constantly debating what it means for a paper to be "technically sound". I even hear that some of their editors just ignore the journal's stated policy of publishing anything that's technically sound. I freely admit that's pure hearsay, but it does jive with my own, and my colleague's, admittedly-limited experience with PLoS ONE.

Interesting and potentially helpful blog post by Jeremy Fox on Shadow CVs.
This is a fantastic idea. Not only will it encourage up and coming scientists, it might also encourage less worthy (but still interesting) behaviour amongst scientists, like voyeurism and schadenfreude. But genuinely a good idea. It´s nice to see how fickle reviewers are with other people as well.
Now that someone´s hired me more permanently, I can put one up without worrying too much about the consequences. I wonder if this will be a meme that only tenured researchers take part in?
And now reading it back, I wonder if and when some people might use it against science/scientists… This climate scientist had his article rejected twice before it was published! It´s all hocum!
You may well have a point about how anti-science types would try to make use of our shadow CV's. Although since they'll do anything, up to and including lying and criminal acts, to win the policy debate, I'm not sure how much scientists ought to worry about the possibility of having their shadow CV's misinterpreted by nutters. Jim could comment better than I could.
Yep, I guess the whole UEA-CRU climategate 'scandal' is still fresh in my memory, but you're right. You can prove anything with facts. Let's just leave all the other crap for the other side.
Refreshing, very interesting, some times you tend to think that you are the only one being rejected in the world, all others just publish, and you just get rejected. Of course that's no true… but now I'm sure.
I have been tremendously afraid of publishing my M.S. thesis work and my research of past two years thinking that my study design and subsequently the results were not up to the mark. A lot of my seniors tell me how important publishing is, considering my work was on species composition of amphibians in different landuse types and would bring out some critical info about the landscape change and its effect on amphibians. But to get rid of the thought that I haven't done good enough is very difficult. In such a state of mind, seeing such a shadow CV, brings up the motivation quite a lot. Thanks a lot for sharing! For a beginner and a student, this is of a great help!


Thirdly, some individuals, having gambled away all their money, may commit crimes.

and moisturize. There are factors beyond our control or, perhaps, beyond our scope of knowledge, that can cause difficult-to-treat things like scars and cystic acne.
Here's the good news: Even though we can't prevent the natural from occurring, we can treat it.
This remedy could be as simple as regular facials and at-home regimen.

However, instead of these items, you must understand that you can enhance the quality of your skin with an easy natural mix that can eliminate wrinkles, stains, and scars from your face.
Make a thick paste of all the ingredients, and feel free to add more honey if your skin is more sensitive to honey can alleviate skin inflammation.
However, don't use it if you have rosacea since it can cause vasodilation – widening of blood vessels.
If the mask becomes too thick, you can add green or white clay and some water.
Make sure you wash your face well with water and soap.
Afterward, we recommend using your favorite moisturizer.
Apply the mask to the affected areas and don't be afraid if you feel a tingle – this means that the mask is already working.

BitFenix's new flagship case is the Shogun, a "super mid-tower" compatible with up to E-ATX boards, and a thematic successor to the similarly simplistic Shinobi mid-tower. We haven't covered a BitFenix enclosure since we named the Pandora one of the best mid-range cases of 2015, and we were curious about the company has changed since its LED-laden efforts.
BitFenix made a name for itself with the Prodigy small form factor case a few years ago, and has been trying to recreate that success ever since. The new BitFenix Shogun case is what we're reviewing today, priced at $160 and targeting the ("super") mid-tower market with its mix of aluminum, steel, and glass. The case primarily differentiates itself with a slightly user-customizable layout internally, something we'll talk about in this review.
Our coverage of last year's best PC enclosures has remained some of our most popular content to date, and as is CES tradition, we're updating the coverage for 2015. The previous years have gone through trends of mini-ITX / SFF boxes (the Steam Box craze, now dying down) and larger, enthusiast-priced boxes. This year's CES trends saw a lull from major case manufacturers like Corsair, Cooler Master (reeling from a lawsuit by Asetek), and NZXT, but welcomed budget-friendly enclosures and high-end works of art. Users seeking more mid-range enclosures will be left waiting a while longer, it seems.
While most of us are eagerly awaiting Black Friday for the yearly sales frenzy, I found a few hardware gems on sale this weekend. This week's hardware sales include deals on a power supply, a micro-ATX case, an Intel motherboard, and a pair of video cards.
