GRAZ, Austria, Dec. 7, 2020 (Press Release) -International technology Group ANDRITZ recently completed successful replacement and start-up of the PM5 Yankee hood at Cascades Tissue Group's tissue mill in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA. The ANDRITZ PrimeDry Hood is specially designed for low energy consumption and long durability. With this upgrade, production output of the PM5 – a medium-speed tissue machine for dry-crepe tissue with a 12 ft. Yankee – has increased remarkably while reducing specific gas consumption by the hood.
Due to the energy savings achieved, Cascades Tissue Group Wisconsin was awarded the 2020 Energy Efficiency Excellence Award by FOCUS ON ENERGY, Wisconsin's energy efficiency and renewable energy resources program. This program encompasses 107 utilities across the state, with the goal of providing expertise and financial incentives to residents and businesses to reduce energy consumption or increase energy efficiency. The Energy Efficiency Excellence Awards honor participants who have shown a commitment to leading in energy efficiency.
The project was executed by the ANDRITZ tissue team located in the Montreal office, QC, which provides support services for tissue machines and for air and energy systems in the Americas market.
Sadith Osseni, Energy Project Engineer at Cascades Tissue Group Wisconsin, explains: "We have been working with FOCUS ON ENERGY for years now. We are proud of having received the Energy Efficiency Excellence Award, and the good results obtained from the hood project with ANDRITZ contributed to the mill getting this."
George Nowakowski, ANDRITZ Vice President Tissue Drying North America, adds: "On a tissue machine, the Yankee hood is a key component due to its consumption of energy and its impact on the quality of the final product. Therefore, it is essential to operate the Yankee hood by the most efficient and economic means possible. The critical parameters are air impingement speed, wet- and dry-hood temperatures, exhaust humidity, and steam pressure in cylinder."

LUCCA, Italy, Nov. 27, 2020 (Press Release) -Increasing the protective effectiveness of surgical masks by ensuring 99.8% bacterial filtration and a surface that is always clean on the outer side: this is what is achieved through the combined use of two masks, a "traditional" surgery and a biodegradable bamboo single-sheet, made with a Körber Tissue patent, which guarantees greater protection in the most crowded environments such as airports, transport vehicles, shopping malls, and school settings.
"We created Myfaceroll masks during lockdown for daily disposable use for situations where there are multiple people" - comments Enrico Zino, Marketing Director of the Körber Tissue Group – "Today, laboratory analyzes have shown that by wearing them together with the surgical type I masks that are normally worn, an important increase in bacterial filtration up to 99.8% is obtained, thus reducing exposure to external pathogens. A simple and effective solution especially for mobility such as travel, work, and moments of assembly, when it is essential to keep your mask clean ".
Myfaceroll is a Körber Tissue patent that was developed during the lockdown and that, with the converting machines (the same ones used to make rolls of toilet paper and kitchen towels) allows you to create up to 10,000 facial masks per minute, adaptable to the main "non-woven fabric" materials including a particular bamboo-based material that can be disposed of with organic waste.
Surgical masks are among the most used instrument to deal with the Covid-19 emergency as they have a high percentage of bacterial filtration. However when they are worn for a prolonged duration they are loaded with viruses and bacteria that could easily be transferred elsewhere if the wearer removes or touches them. The recent study, carried out by an independent laboratory, has shown that using a "double" mask, such as a single-sheet one in natural fiber in addition to the surgical one, is a simple but highly protective solution that guarantees extremely high 99.8% bacterial filtration (BFE), higher than the limits prescribed by the standard both for type I medical masks (≥ 95%), and for type II and II R medical masks (≥ 98%).
Myfaceroll masks can be worn over or under your own personal protection and, in addition to increasing the filtering power, have the advantage of being "disposable" and completely compostable for greater respect for the environment.

LUCCA, ITALY, Nov. 19, 2020 (Press Release) -Toscotec will deliver three tissue machine rebuilds located at different mills to a confidential global producer.
Toscotec will rebuild the drying sections of two tissue machines, as well as the wet end and winding sections of another machine. The drying section rebuilds include the supply of two Toscotec's thirdgeneration-design TT SYD Steel Yankee Dryers, steam and condensate systems, and high efficiency TT Hoods, including one newly optimized combustion system. The energy efficiency given by the integration of the steel Yankee and the hoods will result in a significant reduction of the tissue machines' thermal consumption.
The other project requires the modification of the approach flow and fiber recovery systems and the complete rebuild of the machine's wire and pope reel sections.
The provision of expert services, including engineering, dismantling of old equipment, erection, commissioning, start-up, and training, ensures a complete package for the rebuilds.
Since the start-up of its first TT SYD in 2000, Toscotec is the forerunner and world leading manufacturer of Steel Yankee Dryers boasting close to 230 TT SYDs sold and over 200 currently operating in five continents.
These two new TT SYDs will replace the mills' existing Yankee dryers. Toscotec holds the record as the manufacturer who supplied all of the SYD replacements that took place in Europe to date.
Riccardo Gennai, Toscotec Sales Manager, says: "We take pride in the continuous evolution of TT SYD. Toscotec started up the first steel Yankee dryer in the tissue industry. TT SYD's thirdgeneration design enhances the machine's drying performance and energy efficiency to a degree that it really makes us stand out in the market."

SAO PAULO, Nov. 17, 2020 (PPI Latin America) -CMPC Biopackaging's division has launched a new project focused on finding alternative fibers to be used as raw materials for its molded trays in Chile. Known as the Fibras Project, the taskforce conduced laboratory and industrial tests this year to assess the feasibility of incorporating fiber waste from reject streams, not used in paper production, from the productive processes taking place at Softys tissue Talagante plant.
According to CMPC, the Talagante mill rejects enough fiber to supply 30-40% of the total fiber required for molded pulp products. "The remaining 60% could be obtained from another CMPC subsidiary, Cordillera, but the technical feasibility still needs to be assessed by characterizing the rejected material," the company said.
The results were positive and procedures for getting environmental authorization to incorporate and store these new inputs are underway. Through this initiative, which requires recipe adjustments and the use of auxiliary equipment, CMPC stated that a significant volume of rejected fiber will be sent to its corrugated molded pulp mill.
"Ongoing improvements are being made with online waste traceability through truck orders and their weight records, as well as progress in the delivery of compostable bags for organic waste, with the objective of handling 100% of these in-house. Finally, to date, 4.28 tonnes of organic waste have been processed in local green areas," CMPC detailed.
The project is being conducted within the framework of the Clean Production Agreement for Zero Waste to Landfill (APL in Spanish), targeting to recover 100% of rejected Softys fibers. The company said that another project of interest for this division is Semilleros, which uses rejected fibers and paper sludge to produce seedbeds that biodegrade directly into the soil to be used at Forestal Mininco's Carlos Douglas nursery. This project is currently in the industrial design phase and is expected to be fully operational in three to four months.

ATLANTA, Nov. 16, 2020 (Press Release) -Georgia-Pacific recently relaunched its Quilted Northern Ultra Soft & Strong sub-brand to provide what one could say is a two-for-one deal. Combining both a sustainable bath tissue product that consumers can feel good about purchasing, while being able to enjoy the same premium comfort and quality.
"Consumers today often believe they have to choose between bath tissue products that are either comfortable or sustainable, and we don't think they should have to choose," said Vivek Joshi, General Manager of Retail Bath Tissue at Georgia-Pacific. "When we decided to relaunch the Quilted Northern Ultra Soft & Strong sub-brand, our vision was to produce the same comfortable bath tissue our consumers know and love, but to do so in way that ensures they can feel good about purchasing a product that's made with the environment in mind. While we are the experts when it comes to developing a more energy and water-efficient manufacturing process, for the tree plantings it was important to us to work with experts like the Arbor Day Foundation who can help ensure that the plantings are done in the appropriate areas and are well taken care of at the proper stages for healthy forest rehabilitation."
What can consumers expect from this rebrand? Consumers can expect to see new packaging hitting store shelves now, as well as a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation in order to help bring this "three trees planted for every one used" promise to life. Two of the three trees are planted through the Arbor Day Foundation and one is planted by Georgia-Pacific's suppliers. By the end of 2021, over two million trees will be planted across the U.S. through the partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, with more plantings to come in future years.
The plantings vary in location, but will be reserved specifically for forest restoration efforts in the U.S., and will not include areas such as tree farms.
No pun intended, but sustainability has always come naturally to GP and its brands. From sourcing raw materials to manufacturing and shipping products, sustainability is at the heart of Georgia-Pacific's practices. As an example, the company continues its work to protect forests with high conservation value, including a decade-long effort to map 6.6 million acres of endangered forests and special areas in the 19 states where it sources wood. The company also has set aside more than 7,400 acres on its properties for planting vulnerable tree species such as Longleaf Pine and American Chestnut that are critical wildlife habitats.

'Years of Work Down the Drain' as Trump Endangers Wildlife and Communities by Gutting Successful Conservation Program
Uncategorized / April 21, 2019 April 21, 2019
"As part of its anti-environment agenda, the Trump administration has directly contradicted orders from Congress by cutting funding for a successful national conservation program.
As a result, employees of the LCCs have been stunned to see the organizations shut down entirely or go on indefinite hiatus as the Trump administration has gone over legislators' heads to cut the LCCs off."
"Another disheartening and short-sighted step for this administration."
Julia Conley, staff writer

The Guardian reported Monday that numerous scientists and employees of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) say President Donald Trump unilaterally slashed funding for a program put in place by the Obama administration in 2010 called Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs).
The president's actions were denounced as "disheartening and short-sighted" by one critic on social media.
Funding for the cooperatives, which cost about $12.5 million per year to operate, was written out of the budgets the president has submitted to Congress each year—but lobbying by native tribes and green groups helped convince lawmakers to approve the funding.
Seabird covered in oil. Trump Administration continues to make oil drilling their priority while slashing safety regulations. What could possibly go wrong?
"I just haven't seen anything like this in my almost 30 years of working with the federal government," one anonymous FWS employee told the Guardian. "I'd say there could be five to six years [of work] down the drain."
The nation's 22 LCCs have recorded numerous successes since they were established nine years ago to research the climate crisis, species endangerment, threats to wildlife habitats, and communities vulnerable to extreme weather events.
On LCC in Hawaii made sure a native bird as would be listed as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act, due to habitat destruction, while another helped residents in flood-prone areas to obtain flood insurance discounts.
The Congress for American Indians told lawmakers in 2017 that LCCs "have played an important role in advancing western science and traditional knowledge with our local communities that are continually struggling to adapt to increasingly unpredictable and dangerous environments due to climate change."
On social media, Noah Greenwald of the Center for Biological Diversity's Endangered Species program said the rollback of LCC funding provides more confirmation that "Trump doesn't care about anything but his own hotels and golf courses."

New Resident Evil movie gets R-rating for violence and gore
Johannes Roberts directs the horror movie reboot that's been rated for violence, gore, and language
Anthony McGlynn
In what is no doubt good news for long-time fans, the new Resident Evil live-action film is R-rated. The zombie movie has been flagged for violence and gore, solid descriptors for anything associated with the horror game series.
In the latest weekly report from the Motion Picture Association of America, you can see Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City in the line-up. The upcoming horror movie has been given an R-rating for "strong violence and gore, and language throughout", which all sounds very appropriate to us. The film is a do-over from the previous Resident Evil live-action movies, rebooting the series to be closer to the zombie game source material.
There's more recognisable characters and settings this time, with the plot telling an origin story that takes direct inspiration from Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2. In an interview earlier this year, director Johannes Roberts said both Spencer Mansion and the RCPD police station from those games have been recreated to scale, suggesting nothing has been spared in bringing this particular zombie apocalypse to life.
The cast also draws from the first two games. You have Jill Valentine (Hannah John-Kamen) and Chris Redfield (Robbie Amell), the protagonists from the first Resident Evil, and Leon S Kennedy (Avan Jogia) and Claire Redfield (Kaya Scodelario), who lead the second. Then you've Albert Wesker (Tom Hopper), the elusive overarching antagonist.
The official synopsis reads: "Once the booming home of pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corporation, Raccoon City is now a dying Midwestern town. The company's exodus left the city a wasteland, with great evil brewing below the surface. When that evil is unleashed, the townspeople are forever… changed… and a small group of survivors must work together to uncover the truth behind Umbrella and make it through the night."
Roberts is a dab hand in the horror sphere, having directed shark monster movie 47 Meters Down and its sequel, as well as 2018's The Strangers: Prey at Night. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is in theatres November 24, 2021.

I have to admit, the sight of the first leaves falling through that crisp cool autumn air, the smell of cinnamon and apples wafting through my local coffee shop, and the sounds of children rushing off on bicycles to get to school, all fill me with an anticipatory glee of the approaching holiday season. Ah, fall. My favorite time of year, when the joys and gatherings of parties and celebrations are just weeks away. In preparation, I find myself reaching for and digging through dusty boxes of decorations, readying our house to be "spookified".
To inspire you to get into the "spirit" of Halloween, I have featured some phantasmically fantastic portals that will spook the most intrepid of trick or treaters.
This door decor takes me back to my childhood with its simple, yet outrageously "monsterous" effect. Find poster paper at any school supply store and have your kids join in to help you.
Keeping with the clever and cost-friendly paper cut-out decoration theme, these bats look almost 3-D and oh, so eerie. Add a subtle touch of orange with a natural display of gourds and/or pumpkins.
What better reason to paint your front door a "Halloween orange" than to showcase this fashion forward holiday entryway. It's just paint, after all, and can be carried over to Thanksgiving. Hauntingly tempting.
For those of you who have doors with glass inserts, this spooky spider casts a very scary silhouette that will thrill any visitor who dares to approach.
Who says you have to go big to "boo"? By creating small black and orange silhouetted bats, cats, spiders, pumpkins and witches, the illusion is frighteningly fun.
Creepy crawly stick-on spiders will surely do the trick.
For those of you who wish to decorate in a more understated fashion, this wonderfully home-made candy corn wreath is sweet and subtle. For candy corn wreath how-to instructions click here.

Cardinals Vs. 49ers Recap By The Numbers: John Skelton Leads Cardinals To Upset Win
By Bill Hanstock Dec 12, 2011, 8:01am MST
Share All sharing options for: Cardinals Vs. 49ers Recap By The Numbers: John Skelton Leads Cardinals To Upset Win
The Arizona Cardinals hosted the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday and were able to walk away with a come-from-behind, 21-19 upset win over the postseason-bound Niners. Here's a look at some of the key offensive performers that allowed the birds to come away with the victory.
Quarterback John Skelton did give up two interceptions, but was the outstanding passer in the game. While the Arizona defense held the San Francisco to four first-half field goals and a Frank Gore touchdown, Skelton helped keep the Cardinals alive offensively, heaving a 60 yard touchdown pass to Early Doucet midway through the second quarter that actually put Arizona ahead at the time. In all, Skelton contributed directly to all three Arizona scores, which the defense allowed to hold up for the win. Skelton finished the game 19-for-28 with 282 passing yards, three touchdowns, 25 rushing yards and 106.5 passer rating.
Larry Fitzgerald led all receivers in the game with 149 receiving yards on seven catches. He scored a touchdown in the third quarter on a 46 yard pass from Skelton. Andre Roberts also caught a touchdown pass, a three yarder in the fourth quarter that put Arizona on top for good. Roberts only had two catches for eight yards.
The Cardinals chose to focus on the air attack in this game. Skelton was second in Arizona rushing yards behind Beanie Wells, who picked up 27 yards on 15 carries, averaging only 1.8 yards per.

It was hoped that Jackson would overcome niggling injuries to lead the reigning World Champion Opals against the Americans, but those hopes have been put to rest.
Belinda Snell, who was part of the starting five of the World Championship Gold Medal winning Opals team, has also had to withdraw due to the success of her WNBA club, Phoenix Mercury.
The Mercury is in the WNBA Finals series against Detroit Shock and if the series, currently tied 1-1 with the third game tipping off today at 11am AEST and broadcast on ESPN, requires all five games she will be playing in Detroit on Monday (Australian time), when the Opals play in Trenton, New Jersey.
FIBA World Championship Most Valuable Player Penny Taylor, a starter for Phoenix Mercury, had previously announced her unavailability.
Basketball Australia will now send Dandenong Rangers duo Emily McInerny and Sam Richards and Canberra Capitals forward Abby Bishop to the United States.
Bishop's inclusion rounds out a stunning epoch for the 18-year old star, who will have represented Australia at the Under-19, Under-21 and Senior level in the past three months.
Bishop won a Silver Medal with the Sapphires at the 2007 FIBA World Championship for Under 21 Women in Moscow in July before finishing fifth with the Gems at the 2007 FIBA U19 World Championship for Women in the Slovak Republic in August.
In related news, the Australian Defence Force Opals defeated China 77-70 overnight at a 4 Nations Tournament in Moscow.
Townsville Fire forward Rohanee Cox continued her thrust toward selection for Beijing, top scoring for the Opals with 15 points to go along with 6 rebounds and 6 assists in 20 minutes on court.
Australia will now play Russia in the final, which takes place in the early hours of Thursday morning, Australian time, before heading to the United States.

Silver has been used as money as well as a long term store of value for thousands of years. Silver is the most popular precious metal to invest in, as the cost per ounce is dramatically lower than other metals. No matter how much you have to invest, you will always be able to purchase more ounces of silver than other precious metals. Silver is a traditional safe haven investment and a perfect way to diversify your portfolio. Silver prices typically move independent of stocks and financial markets. Investing in physical silver and gold are the only assets that are completely free of counter-party risk and have historically held their purchasing power.
Silver bars are usually the best value for silver on a price per ounce basis. This allows you to accumulate many more ounces of silver for your investment dollars. Silver bars are available as small as 1 gram to as large as 1000+ troy ounces for a COMEX good delivery bar. Silver bars are almost exclusively produced by private mints, although both the Royal Canadian Mint and the Perth Mint produce a limited selection. One of the reasons that silver bars cost less per ounce than coins or rounds is due to the lower fabrication costs of producing a bar. Bars typically do not feature the design work or the fine craftsmanship of most silver coins or rounds. In addition, silver bars are available in much larger sizes than most coins or rounds, which helps lower the cost per ounce. One possible advantage of silver bars is that many of them carry serial numbers, which can be useful if the bars are being held in a trust or in allocated, segregated storage. Click here to learn more about our storage program.
Silver coins are produced by government mints, carry a face value and can be used as legal tender. Silver coins are more expensive per ounce than silver bars or rounds, however they offer additional security and the peace of mind of having been produced by a government mint. Coins carry additional fabrication costs above that of silver bars, which is one factor as to why they cost more. You may wish to start by purchasing coins due to the added confidence of buying a government minted item and then diversify your holdings into privately minted bars and rounds.
Silver rounds are privately minted and by and large could be considered to be very similar to silver bars when looked at as a bullion item. The big difference between bars and rounds are that rounds feature original and thought provoking messages. Private mints have a much greater margin in terms of the subject matter of their rounds and many are very creative with beautiful and interesting designs.

Criterion Horror Films!
March 4, 2015 Doc	2 Comments
When I think of The Criterion Collection, I think of high art. I think of pristine celluloid and perfectly framed shots sandwiched between thick, black widescreen bars. I think historic, I think epic, I think intelligence. Nose-in-the-air type stuff.
What I don't think of is ooze, satan-worshipping, hyper-violence or James Woods sticking his hand inside of his own stomach. But believe it or not, all of those things (and more) can be found under the Criterion umbrella! It's like going over to the class valedictorian's house and seeing that they have a Basket Case poster on their bedroom wall.
David Lynch, Brian De Palma, Guillermo del Toro, David Fincher, Danny Boyle, and Paul Verhoeven all have Criterion films to their name (and David Cronenberg has four, wow!)
Here's a short list of some of my favorite Criterion horror flicks. The list is actually much, much longer – and you can find all the titles on the Criterion site as well as their Wikipedia page – but I thought this little list would be a good place to start.
I often preach the greatness of this 1973 Nicolas Roeg shocker. Though not outright labeled as one, it feels like a giallo film – due mainly to the mysterious, raincoat-shrouded character Donald Sutherland hunts around the canals of Italy. Solid flick with plenty of twists and freaky revelations.
The first time I saw this film was in a theater packed full of horror fans, and I'm pretty sure I was half in the bag. The main thing I took away from the viewing was how funny the film was – not only by my own drunken interpretation, but also the uproarious laughter from the crowd. The bizarre imagery, the bits of dialogue lost in translation, the goofy score – what a funny, weird film! However, it wasn't until last year, when I saw the Criterion analysis of the film, that I came to realize how truly horrifying it is. I suggest watching the film without any insight, and then rewatching it after viewing the analysis.
Pecker-tucking, cannibalism, airborne semen, the c-word, fat jokes, and Tom Petty's "American Girl". All in a Criterion movie! This is definitely one of the more understandable entries on this list – after all, Silence of the Lambs did win five Oscars the year it came out. But that just brings up another great milestone: a horror movie sweeping the Academy Awards!
As mentioned above, Cronenberg has a staggering four films on the Criterion list. That's more than Bernardo Bertolucci, Miloš Forman, or Stanley Kubrick! Cronenberg's other films on the list include Dead Ringers, Naked Lunch, and the amazingly gory Scanners. It's nice to see body horror, exploding heads, and utter mindfuckery get the kudos it deserves from such a distinguished company.
This film was so controversial when it was released in 1960 that it effectively ruined director Michael Powell's career. If that's not enough to get you to watch this movie, I don't know what to tell you. I love this flick! It is often compared to Psycho, despite beating that film to the theaters by two months. With wide vocal support from both Roger Ebert and Martin Scorsese, this movie is one of the great proto-slashers. At one point, zomfather George A. Romero was rumored to be remaking it, but so far nothing has come of that. Watch it!
This is another film that I totally understand its place in the Criterion Collection. It's beautifully shot in stark black and white, casting ominous shadows over dark secrets like a flawless film noir should. And Robert Mitchum is perfectly terrifying as the murderous con-man trying to swindle a pair of farm kids out of their dead dad's hidden loot.
I can understand why waifish middle-class debutante Mia Farrow would be so appalled at discovering she had been incubating Satan in her womb for the past 9 months (spoiler!), but can you imagine if Rosemary had been played by one of those Old Milwaukee-fueled dudines from Heavy Metal Parking Lot? She'd be stoked! As previously mentioned, it's nice to see devil-worshipping be presented in such a highfalutin way.
Based on the synonymous book by the Maquis de Sade, this movie features all sorts of stuff your grandma would probably frown at: sadism, graphic violence, sexual depravity, and forcing little kids to eat platefuls of boom-boom. So naturally it should wind up in the Criterion Collection, a list self-described as "important classic and contemporary films for film aficionados". Just what I love: artful smut!
Sure, this list loses some of its oomph when you realize both Kevin Smith and Michael Bay both have films on the Criterion list. Kinda makes you wonder who was behind the wheel when those decisions were made. But look: any collection that features The Blob (1958), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), and Fiend Without a Face, and is intended for only the most discerning of film snobs — that's a pretty dang alright list in my book.

Dr. Jose's Top 10 on Halloween Love
March 1, 2015 Doc	Leave a comment
Halloween Love was gracious enough to ask me for a Top 10 list of horror movies I love – but to provide ones I wouldn't instantly spit out when asked for a list. Maybe the tertiary ones, the ones that are sitting under a thick layer of dust in my cobweb-filled cranium. The ones that still blow me away even if I don't immediately think of them.
So go, read! And follow Halloween Love on Twitter and Facebook! Don't be a dummy, all the cool kids are doing it!

The 'Virtual Reality' Look of the 90s
February 28, 2015 Doc	Leave a comment
Full disclosure: This article is in no way meant to be a comprehensive cover of the virtual reality boom of the early-90s, nor is it even meant to describe the mechanics of virtual reality. In fact, this blurb has very little to do with virtual reality itself; it mainly just discusses a few specific animation techniques — ones that, because of their creation in the archaic days of computer animation — have a virtual reality look that permeated so many mediums from about 1992 to 1995 (with a little spill over into the late-90s). My apologies to any nerds I may have misled with the headline.
Movies, TV shows, music videos. At some point, a few contenders from each of these outlets dabbled in the look I'm talking about. And when creating whatever it was they were creating, animators loved overusing one of three things: flying through space and/or getting closer to Earth until it was zoomed in on a city street; flying through the innerworkings of a computer or 'the internet'; or people made from liquid metal.
Let's take a look at some of the offenders. And when I say 'offenders', I actually mean "awesome things that I loved enough to remember 13 years later." Presented in no particular order.
First up is a show whose intro almost completes the trifecta of animations I mentioned above. Hardcore TV was a short-lived half hour sketch program that was like a mix between The Twilight Zone, Saturday Night Live and Real Sex. No, seriously. I don't remember much of the show, but that opening animation is beautiful.
This music video definitely adheres to the trifecta and THEN SOME. Peter Gabriel has always been known for his cutting edge videos, and they always seemed to display techniques that weren't widely being used at the time. The animators for this video pulled out all the stops. I can only imagine what editing it was like. And what a jam!
Another HBO show, this one was actually a spin-off of Tales From the Crypt. Perversions of Science (if the title didn't give it away) was meant to be more science fiction themed. It bombed and didn't survive more than one season. The only episode I remember starred Kevin Pollack trapped on a space ship with a beautiful blonde android. It was directed by William Shatner. Who knows, man.
Another HBO production; last one I promise. Hosted by George Clinton, this was yet another space-aged anthology, but packaged in a three-segment 90 minute movie. The intro shows trash floating through space in a wonderful mid 90s computer animation.
Two other music videos I remember using these animations quite heavily while also featuring an emphasis on "yes, this is supposed to be virtual reality" were Def Leppard's "Let's Get Rocked" from '92 and Aerosmith's "Amazing" from '94.
Looking back at these videos is so funny and surreal. Not only were computers a foreign concept to me at the time (hey, I was 10), but the idea that I would ever actually use a computer, let alone on a daily basis, LET ALONE on a daily basis for work, LET ALONE on a daily basis for work and for hobby was probably the craziest, most unbelievable concept ever. And yet here I am, just a shade over a decade later, and I cannot – for the life of me – pull myself away from the computer. Moving on.
Liquid Television. I cannot say enough good things about this show. I loved this show. It came back a few years ago much to the delight of all us nostalgiasts. But I never got back on that train, so I'm not sure if any of the new stuff was any good. But the original show – and those original credits (with music by Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh) – is fucking perfect.
I'll end with a few films that used virtual reality and its hilariously dated animations to great effect.
Brainscan is, in my opinion, criminally underrated. A classic, even. Or at the very least a guilty pleasure. The movie centers around a virtual reality game, so it's rife with beautiful computer animations like this:
Then there's Lawnmower Man. It's not great.
However, it has what I'd consider some of the most memorable 'virtual reality' animations from this article/era thus far. Who wasn't amped when they saw these images from the trailer? I know I was!
And finally, Virtuosity.
Not that it matters, but I feel like this was one of the – if not the – last films to use this style of animation. I think virtual reality was dying out at this point, and using it post-'95 would've seemed completely dated.
However, I really dug the movie as a kid. He's a computer-created villain; a composite of 83 famous serial killers. That's as solid of a concept as I need for a film! Plus, you get to a computer animated Adolf Hitler. And really, isn't that what we're all looking for in a movie?

"Francis", the Name that Defined the 80s.
February 25, 2015 Doc	3 Comments
There are a handful of names that come to mind when pressed for unforgettable 80′s film characters. Marty from Back to the Future. Daniel from Karate Kid. Perhaps Lewis and Gilbert from Revenge of the Nerds. Maybe Brand, Chunk, Data, or Mouth – all from The Goonies. And of course: Jason, Freddy, and Michael.
But there is one, singular name — not necessarily an odd name, but definitely not that common (none of my 500+ Facebook friends have it; I checked two other acquaintance's "friend lists", 700+ and 800+ respectively, and nope – no one on their lists had this name, either) — that was used throughout the 80′s to define some of the most memorable characters, from comedy to straight up horror. A name, that for some reason, seemed to suit the fringe characters best. And that name was "Francis".
Despite being the most angelic of names, "Francis" was attached to the best maniacs, jerks, flunkies, and a-holes that 1980′s film had to offer – and maybe that's why it worked so well. But let's not waste anymore time and get right to it. Here now is a chronological list of characters named Francis from our favorite decade: the 80′s.
Pvt. Francis "Psycho" Soyer, Stripes (1981)
"The name's Francis Soyer, but everybody calls me Psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis, and I'll kill you."
That's our introduction to the scowling, bug-eyed, fidgety weirdo that is Francis "Psycho" Soyer. Of course, none of his army comrades are at all intimidated by him, nor do they take his threats seriously. This scene ends with their unamused drill sergeant uttering the memorable line, "Lighten up, Francis."
So right off the bat, this list starts with a character who not only points out his odd name, but rejects it. Very interesting. Dude kinda reminds me of Travis Bickle. Thoughts?
Francis Fratelli, The Goonies (1985)
This Francis comes from a big family of crooks. There's Mama Fratelli, and his two brothers Jake and Lotney "Sloth" Fratelli. Francis is the preferred son, and Mama makes no secret of that. He might be a pyromaniac. He also threatens to break a little kid's legs. And he wears a toupee, so he might be a little self-conscious about his bald head. So far, this list has begat two sociopathic loons. Let us see who's next.
Francis Buxton, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (1985)
Another scowling thief with no responsibility and an overprotective parent!
Franics Buxton is well-known as the dude who stole Pee-Wee Herman's bike. Stealing the bike proved pointless, however, as Francis – suspecting that Pee-Wee was on to him – panicked and had a co-conspirator get rid of it. And no, he didn't have it stowed away in the basement of the Alamo.
How about some gum, Francis?
Francis Dollarhyde, Manhunter (1986)
Where the prior Francises have been off-kilter just enough to be charming, this one – Francis Dollarhyde – is just a flat-out terrifying monster.
Being born with a cleft lip and a fascination with metamorphosis wasn't really a great combo for this dude. And I'm sure being named "Francis" probably just put him over the edge. When he's not working in a lab as a photo assistant, he's killing people and putting shards of mirrors in their eyes. Oh, and courting blind women.
We've had nothing but maniacs and baddies on this list. Time to lighten things up.
Francis "Chainsaw" Gremp, Summer School (1987)
"Don't ever call me that, the name's 'Chainsaw'…as in Texas Massacre."
Finally! A lovable Francis! Er, I mean "Chainsaw". Sure, he may hate his name. And yeah, he's obsessed with the 1974 Toe-bay Hoo-pare classic, "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre". And sure, he's super preoccupied with blood and gore. But at least he's a fun dude! He gets two thumbs up.
If ever I had an idol growing up – and even now, still – Francis "Chainsaw" Gremp is it.
Francis Xavier "Frank" Cross, Scrooged (1988)
Well, back to the egotistical, mean-spirited, borderline-criminal jerks. Although, to be fair, by the end of Scrooged, Frank has a change of heart – hell, a change of being – and comes to realize that you can feel as good as you do on Christmas all year round, just so long as you…put a little love in your heart. Feed me, Seymour, feed me!
Francis Smith, Christmas Vacation (1989)
Yes, not even women were safe from being branded by this quirky designation. Doris Roberts, probably most notable for loving Raymond, plays Beverly D'Angelo's drunken mother who loves to criticize Chevy Chase's Clark Griswold through her hiccups, while trying not to spill her martini. She's about 3/10 on the Problematic Francises scale.
And last but not least, an honorable mention:
Billy "Francis" Kopecki, Big, (1988)
Sure, it's not his first name. But Tom Hanks does feel the need to shout Billy's full name to make him realize the grown-up he sees before him is actually his 12-year-old buddy, Josh. Plus, Billy is just one of the good ones. I mean, he wears horror movie t-shirts everyday. What's not to like? Billy Francis Kopecki, we salute you.
So there you have it. All those Francises, almost one for every year of the 80′s! What made that name so special then? Especially, it seems, among the more beloved films of the 80′s? Is there an explanation? Has this trend been repeated in the 90′s with a different name?
Here's to all you Francises of the 80′s: you turned an ordinary name into lovable, hateble, fashionable, scene-stealing, quotable beast.

The Case of the Confusing Mask
Any horror fan worth their salt will recognize the perplexing American poster/box cover art from the 1985 bomb Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning:
What makes this such a head-scratcher — and should be obvious from the above image — is that the mask used on the cover is not the mask Jason wears in the film, or any Friday the 13th film. This has always stuck with me but I never cared to do much digging. Until now.
So where to start? Cracking the code required a perfectly worded Google search. Here's how I started my exploration:
"Friday the 13th V mask". "Friday the 13th V mask box cover". "Friday the 13th V alternate mask". "Friday the 13th V plastic mask". "What's up with Jason's mask on the cover of the Friday the 13th V box?" No luck.
Checked Ebay. Checked the official Friday the 13th franchise site. Nothing, nada. What I did find was everyone was confused about why this mask graced the cover of Friday the 13th part V and confounded as to where it came from.
Googling "plastic hockey mask" brought me to an actual hockey equipment site where I discovered a few interesting things. First, the mask used in 'Garden Tool Massacre' from The Blob (1988). Turns out it's a junior-sized goalie mask and also incredibly inexpensive:
Also found the mask from Alone in the Dark. This same mask can be found in other movies like Waxwork II: Lost in Time and Halloween H2O, and was the same mask used by the wrestler Lord Humongous (not to be confused with Lord Humungus, the Mad Max character – more on that in a sec):
But back to the mask I was on the hunt for.
In 1981, one year after Friday the 13th was released, the sequel to Mad Max — Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior — was released. The film introduced us to a memorable post-apocalyptic villain, Lord Humungus. While not the first time a hockey masked maniac would appear on film (I believe that honor goes to Act of Vengeance; see my other article), as far as I know, this is the first time that this specific cheapo Jason knock-off mask makes an appearance in film history. Remember: Friday the 13th not only didn't feature Jason Voorhees as the killer, it didn't feature the famous hockey mask until its second sequel.
The character of Lord Humungus (with a little altered spelling) would directly inspire the wrestler "Lord Humongous" (see B&W pic above). Speaking of wrestling: despite Lord Humongous using a different mask than Lord Humungus, the cheapo knock-off mask in question would be used by another wrestler. In 1983, the Friday the 13th-inspired Canadian wrestler "Jason the Terrible" (seen with a young Owen Hart) used the mask as part of his ensemble. Note the hole placement: same mask.
Two years later, in 1985, the mask graces the cover of the poster/box for Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning and causes a lot of horror fans to say, "Huh?"
In 1987, the mask makes another appearance on film, this time in Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol. They painted it red for some reason, despite being a total homage to Jason Voorhees (the character of Tackleberry is seen chainsawing his way out of a body bag while wearing the mask.)
In 1989, Christmas Vacation was released, and in a classic scene involving bickering neighbors we see the cheapo hockey mask being used (alongside a chainsaw) once again to recall the Jason Voorhees imagery:
1991: the video game Pit-Fighter is released. It was one of the first to use live-action footage to animate the game, something that would reach the heigh of its popularity with Mortal Kombat. But what does this have to do with the mask? The game makes a direct reference to Lord Humungus. While the mask design is too pixelated to know for sure (it was the 90's, give it a break), the character design is clearly modeled after the Mad Max baddie – so we'll count it.
In 1993, PCU came out. In the final scene of the film, the lead character "Droz" (played by Jeremy Piven) slaps on a hockey mask. And as far as I know, this is one of – if not the – last time this specific cheapo hockey mask makes an appearance on film.
So that brings us up to speed. My search for this elusive mask continued. Searching "plastic hockey mask" brought up a result I almost overlooked. Mixed in with all the pictures of hockey masks was a singular airsoft paintball mask -that's right paintball – not hockey. When compared to the aforementioned mask style, it's a pretty damn close match:
The eye holes are a bit bigger and the airholes may not be completely punched out, but note the ridges that cross the mask as well as the hole placement. Spot on!
Even dragging pics of the mask into Google image search doesn't bring up any revealing results. The last and closest thing I could find to the actual mask was on a film memorabilia site. It was listed among other horror stuff, all from the same user but none of it seemed to be for sale.
I left the website link on the pic so you can search his stuff if you're interested. I wanna point out that this was listed as an actual prop from the movie, and also labeled "vintage", but I question the veracity of both those claims.
And that's where my search dead ends, folks. I have followed every trail until it went ice cold. I Googled every possible combination of words, hoping to nail the magic amalgamation that would unlock the mysterious mask door and finally set me free. But alas, it wasn't meant to be. And so, for now, the answer remains hidden, the riddle unsolved. But the search continues…
UPDATE: After posting this article on Twitter, it was pointed out to me that the mask in question is vintage Cooper goalie mask. And sure enough, it is:
God bless the internet. Now if only I could get the 16 hours I spent writing this article back. You win again, Jason!

No Sleeves, No Problem
With winter in full MF-in' swing, and with the East Coast and Midwest getting buried under a foot of snow, I figured now was probably a good time to post a summer-related piece in hopes that it might give you something to look forward to and help melt away those February blues (or 'whites', seems a bit more fitting.)
After writing about the popularity of quirky tees in 80s movies, and having posted a picture of a sleeveless Steve Gutenberg in Police Academy, I realized the shirt-sans-sleeves look was a really popular one during the heyday of 80s cinema. It defined jocks, cool guys, tough guys, losers, and weirdos – making it easily one of the most versatile 80s fashion statements. Who wore it best? Let's take a look.
Snake Plissken from Escape from New York and Escape from L.A. Gotta start the list off right, and the only way to do that is with Snake. Doesn't get any cooler than him. This sleeveless look would definitely fall under the 'tough guy' category. Toss in an eyepatch and giant gun, and it's elevated into the 'total badass' stratosphere.
The list went from bad-ass to sad-ass quick. Although, Ricky – Corey Feldman's character from The 'Burbs – gets creativity points for slapping what appears to be the Batman logo on what looks like a mesh football jersey.
It only makes sense to follow a Feldman post with a shot from The Lost Boys. Above is Alan Frog – brother to Feldman's Edgar Frog – and Alan is rocking a pretty proper sleeveless look. Combining the US Army 82 Airborne Division shirt with the dogtags definitely says '15-year-old trying to look like grizzled war vet'. I give it a thumbs up.
Another great sleeveless look is worn by Freddy from Return of the Living Dead. The shirt reads "Domo arigato", which is for Japanese for, "Thanks a lot". I've searched and searched for this shirt online to no avail, so as far as I know it was created just for the movie. Is it a reference to the soft synth-pop 80s band Visage? Who knows! Complimented by a pair of skinny suspenders, this outfit says, "It's 1985 and I love all that UK new-wave and punk shit." When it comes to this shirt, u-needa it!
Rocking a look that defines "sleazeball", we have Buddy from Just One of the Guys (1985) on top, and David fromFriday the 13th Part VII (1988) on the bottom, both rocking the sleeveless flannel look. This is good for late summer, when the leaves are beginning to change, and the afternoons are warm but the nights are chilly. Good for layering. Also good for teaching your sister how to act more like a dude, or when being stabbed by a maniac in a hockey mask.
I always thought Brand from The Goonies was an interesting character, because he's so clearly a jock – yet the other jocky rich kids hate him. I wonder if any real life jocks who were unpopular with their peers saw this film and had a secret breakdown. We'll never know, because a jock – unpopular or not – would never admit to such a thing. Bonus points for it being a sleeveless sweatshirt.
Speaking of sleeveless sweatshirts, here's John Heard from C.H.U.D. Actually, C.H.U.D. delivers a twofer, with a young Daniel Stern popping up to show off his spaghetti strands. Do these two look like the biggest creeps ever, or what? Nice camera, John!
Easily the most creative fashion statement of the whole bunch, only Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds would be able to rock a sleeveless letter jacket and have it still make sense somehow. Plus, who would be brave enough to say otherwise? I bet that thing smells like sweat, stale Coors Light, and Brut.
Steve, Ponyboy, Two-Bit. Almost half of The Outsiders gang prefers a little sun on their shoulders. And a sleeveless Mickey Mouse tee? Truly one of the least threatening-looking groups I've ever seen.
The entire Cobra Kai. Obviously inspired by their sensei's fashion choices, the karate squad followed suit by nixing their sleeves as well. This is noticeable because they're the only team participating in the final tournament without sleeves. It's a tough look, one that racist ex-Vietnam Vet sensei John Kreese knows will intimidate opponents. But seeing what a lunatic nutbag Kreese is throughout the film – flying off the handle at every little thing – I don't think it's the outfit people find intimidating.
Well, that's all for now friends. Hopefully this read has made the sun seem a little brighter and the air a little bit warmer. But remember: it doesn't matter what the weather is like outside; when you're indoors, everyday can be a sleeveless summer.

What Your Choice of Words Says about Your Personality
A language analysis program reveals personality, mental health and intent by counting and categorizing words
By Jan Dönges on July 1, 2009

NO ONE DOUBTS that the words we write or speak are an expression of our inner thoughts and personalities. But beyond the meaningful content of language, a wealth of unique insights into an author's mind are hidden in the style of a text—in such elements as how often certain words and word categories are used, regardless of context.
It is how an author expresses his or her thoughts that reveals character, asserts social psychologist James W. Pennebaker of the University of Texas at Austin. When people try to present themselves a certain way, they tend to select what they think are appropriate nouns and verbs, but they are unlikely to control their use of articles and pronouns. These small words create the style of a text, which is less subject to conscious manipulation.
Pennebaker's statistical analyses have shown that these small words may hint at the healing progress of patients and give us insight into the personalities and changing ideals of public figures, from political candidates to terrorists. "Virtually no one in psychology has realized that low-level words can give clues to large-scale behaviors," says Pennebaker, who, with colleagues, developed a computer program that analyzes text, called Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC, pronounced "Luke"). The software has been used to examine other speech characteristics as well, tallying up nouns and verbs in hundreds of categories to expose buried patterns.
Most recently, Pennebaker and his colleagues used LIWC to analyze the candidates' speeches and interviews during last fall's presidential election. The software counts how many times a speaker or author uses words in specific categories, such as emotion or perception, and words that indicate complex cognitive processes. It also tallies up so-called function words such as pronouns, articles, numerals and conjunctions. Within each of these major categories are subsets: Are there more mentions of sad or happy emotions? Does the speaker prefer "I" and "me" to "us" and "we"? LIWC answers these quantitative questions; psychologists must then figure out what the numbers mean. Before LIWC was developed in the mid-1990s, years of psychological research in which people counted words by hand established robust connections between word usage and psychological states or character traits
The political candidates, for example, showed clear differences in their speaking styles. John McCain tended to speak directly and personally to his constituency, using a vocabulary that was both emotionally loaded and impulsive. Barack Obama, in contrast, made frequent use of causal relationships, which indicated more complex thought processes. He also tended to be more vague than his Republican rival. Pennebaker's team has posted a far more in-depth breakdown, including analyses of the vice presidential candidates, at www.wordwatchers.wordpress.com.
Skeptics of LIWC's usefulness point out that many of these characteristics of McCain's and Obama's speeches could be gleaned without the use of a computer program. When the subjects of analysis are not accessible, however, LIWC may provide a unique insight. Such was the case with Pennebaker's study of al Qaeda communications. In 2007 he and several co-workers, under contract with the FBI, analyzed 58 texts by Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden's second in command.
The comparison showed how much pronouns are able to disclose. For example, between 2004 and 2006 the frequency with which al-Zawahiri used the word "I" tripled, whereas it remained constant in bin Laden's writings. "Normally, higher rates of 'I' words correspond with feelings of insecurity, threat and defensiveness. Closer inspection of his 'I' use in context tends to confirm this," Pennebaker says.
Other studies have shown that words that are used to express balance or nuance ("except," "but," and so on) are associated with higher cognitive complexity, better grades and even the truthfulness with which facts are reported. For bin Laden, analysis showed that the thought processes in his texts had reached a higher level over the years, whereas those of his lieutenant had stagnated.
This power of statistical analysis to quantify a person's changing language use over time is a key advantage to programs such as LIWC. In 2003 Pennebaker and statistician R. Sherlock Campbell, now at Yale University, used a statistical tool called latent semantic analysis (LSA) to study the diary entries of trauma patients from three earlier studies, looking for text characteristics that had changed in patients who were convalescing and met rarely with their physician. Again, the researchers showed that content was unimportant. The factor that was most clearly associated with recovery was the use of pronouns. Patients whose writings changed perspective from day to day were less likely to seek medical treatment during the follow-up period.
It may be that patients who describe their situation both from their own viewpoint and from the perspective of others recover more quickly from traumatic experiences—a variation on the already well-established idea that writing about negative experiences is therapeutic. Or perhaps the LSA simply detected the patients' recovery as reflected by their writing but not brought about by it—in that case, programs such as LIWC could aid doctors in diagnosing illness and gauging treatment progression. Researchers are currently investigating many other patient groups, including those with cancer, mental illness and suicidal tendencies, using LIWC to uncover clues about their emotional well-being and their mental state.
Although the statistical study of language is relatively young, it is clear that analyzing patterns of word use and writing style can lead to insights that would otherwise remain hidden. Because these tools offer predictions based on probability, however, such insights will never be definitive. "In the final analysis, our situation is much like that of economists," Pennebaker says. "It's too early to come up with a standardized analysis. But at the end of the day, we all are making educated guesses, the same way economists can understand, explain and predict economic ups and downs."
The way we write and speak can reveal volumes about our identity and character. Here is a sampling of the many variables that can be detected in our use of style-related words such as pronouns and articles:
Gender: In general, women tend to use more pronouns and references to other people. Men are more likely to use articles, prepositions and big words.
Age: As people get older, they typically refer to themselves less, use more positive-emotion words and fewer negative-emotion words, and use more future-tense verbs and fewer past-tense verbs.
Honesty: When telling the truth, people are more likely to use first-person singular pronouns such as "I." They also use exclusive words such as "except" and "but." These words may indicate that a person is making a distinction between what they did do and what they did not do—liars often do not deal well with such complex constructions.
Depression and suicide risk: Public figures and published poets use more first-person singular pronouns when they are depressed or suicidal, possibly indicating excessive self-absorption and social isolation.
Reaction to trauma: In the days and weeks after a cultural upheaval, people use "I" less and "we" more, suggesting a social bonding effect.

El retrato de Luca Pacioli es una pintura atribuida al artista renacentista italiano Jacopo de' Barbari, que data de alrededor de 1500 y se encuentra en el Museo de Capodimonte, Nápoles, en el sur de Italia.

Historia
La pintura, que retrata al matemático renacentista Luca Pacioli, se menciona por primera vez en un inventario de 1631 del Palacio Ducal de Urbino.

Más tarde se trasladó a Florencia a través de  Vittoria della Rovere-Medici, perteneciente a las dinastías reinantes de Urbino y Toscana. La pintura reapareció en el siglo XIX, como propiedad de la rama Ottaviano de los Médicis. Posteriormente fue adquirida por el estado italiano para evitar que se venda a Inglaterra.

Atribución
La pintura ha sido genéricamente atribuida a Jacopo de 'Barbari debido a la presencia de un cartucho con la inscripción IACO.BAR. VIGENNIS. P. 1495, con la enigmática presencia de una mosca encima. Sin embargo, la atribución al pintor veneciano ahora se considera errónea, debido a consideraciones pictóricas e históricas.

La pintura ha sido incluso atribuida a Leonardo da Vinci, que había colaborado con Pacioli cuando se trasladó a Milán en 1496.

Descripción
La pintura retrata al fraile y matemático con una mesa llena de herramientas geométricas: pizarra, tiza, brújula y un modelo de dodecaedro. También aparece un rombicuboctaedro, medio lleno de agua y caracterizado por un efecto del triple reflejo detallado del Palacio Ducal de Urbino y que está suspendido del techo. Pacioli está demostrando un teorema escrito por Euclides en un libro abierto. El libro cerrado, con la inscripción LI.RI.LUC.BUR. –Liber reverendi Luca Burgensis— se supone que es su Summa de arithmetica, geometria. Proportioni et proportionalita (1494).
El personaje de la derecha no ha sido identificado de manera concluyente; podría ser Guidobaldo da Montefeltro, el entonces duque de Urbino que fue un ferviente erudito de las matemáticas y al que se le dedicó la Summa, el pintor alemán Alberto Durero, o con un Francesco di Bartolomeo Archinto, de quien existe un retrato muy similar, de la escuela leonardesca, en la  National Gallery de Londres.

En el artículo Osservando il quadro di Capodimonte: nuove ipotesi per gli enigmi del ritratto di Luca Pacioli, publicado en el libro Luca Pacioli tra Piero della Francesca e Leonardo, del Editor Stefano Zuffi, Marsilio Editore, Venecia, 2017, La investigadora Carla Glori, por investigación histórica, ha llegado a la conclusión de que el joven que está en pie a la derecha, detrás del fraile, es Galeazzo Sanseverino.

Did you know that 80% of your bodies serotonin is made in the gut? Not only this, but majority of your melatonin is made in the gut too! Plus 80% of your immune system is in the gut!
With so much talk about how important gut health is and good bacteria, you're probably wondering how you know if your gut is healthy or not.
To help you, we've broken down the top signs for an unhealthy gut and what to do about it.
One of the biggest signs to an unhealthy gut is when it's main function is not working effectively.
When your gut is not working efficiently at removing waste from the body, the toxins from that waste build up in your system and can cause all sorts of problems for you.
If you feel bloated after eating or at the end of the day, if you have excessive gas, or have diarrhea or constipation, then your gut is trying to tell you that it isn't working effectively and needs some support to help work more effectively at removing waste from your system more regularly to reduce the build-up of toxins in your system.
Who would have thought that having poor gut health could have an impact on your mental health and wellbeing. But it does!
Your guts function is so complex, drawing nutrients out of your food and converting these nutrients into components the body needs to function.
80% of your bodies serotonin is made in the gut, so if your gut is not functioning properly, your body can not produce as much serotonin as you need for good mental health. This in turn can cause symptoms like brain fog, depression, anxiety, mental fatigue and stress.
Your skin is the largest organ! Have you ever had a chocolate binge and had an acne breakout a few days later? What about stress pimples, as soon as I'm stressed out at work, I have one acne spot that breaks out every.single.time.
Good gut health plays a big role with all our organs and how well they function and our skin plays a big part in giving us cues as to when we are needing additional support or supplements.
Good gut health will improve your skins overall appearance and will reduce severity of acne breakouts.
Our gut has a big job to play, it's main function is to extract nutrients from the foods we eat and remove the waste. When your gut is not functioning effectively, it can't perform its job properly, there has also been multiple studies conducted which have shown that people who are obese have different bacteria within their gut than people who are 'skinny'. Working on improving your gut health can be the first step in the direction of weight loss.
Are you constantly getting sick? Catching every cold going around the office? It's not surprising to learn that 80% of your immune system is in your gut, so if you have an unhealthy gut, you have a much higher chance of catching every cold and bug, because your immunity will be low.
Taking a high quality probiotic supplement daily will help balance your microbiome and will help with all of the symptoms listed above. A good quality probiotic is key and finding one that is best suited to your needs.
Sometimes, gut health can be affected by an overload of particular foods in our diet. To help to regain a healthy gut, you may want to try illuminating, or reducing your intake of known inflammatory foods for a period of time. Inflammatory foods are: gluten, dairy, soy, corn, eggs and sugar.
Try to eat more probiotic rich foods like yoghurt (read the label to ensure it does contain probiotics) fermented vegetables, kefi and miso.

How to Boost Your Immunity this Winter!


There was a new Pet Shop Boys EP released yesterday, which is always a good thing! I've never listened to a Pet Shop Boys record I didn't like, largely because they are extremely reliable and consistent in what they do (i.e. great synthpop tunes). The new release, Agenda, is no exception.
Let's have a listen to the tracks.
Lovely happy synthscapes to kick off. Bit of a contrast with the doomy lyrics, but after the Specials last week I'm starting to get used to that!
Classic upbeat synthpop that was an instant earworm when I first listened to it on Thursday night. The rhymes are daft in an endearing way, and it's a bit 'old men ranting about modern technology', but the tune is awesome and I'm going to be listening to it all week.
Great chant-along track! Another one for the daily playlist. The rhythm is fantastic.
Something a bit slower, but gorgeously atmospheric, for the last track. Love the twinkly melancholy instrumental – it's almost Christmassy for a minute, and then the beat drops. Gorgeous stuff.
Classic and classy as ever from PSB. Love this EP!


A lot has changed at UBC Library over the last 40 years. Buildings have been raised up and torn down, collections moved, technology revolutionized, and staff have come and gone. One thing has remained constant, however: our commitment to providing excellent services, spaces and collections for students, faculty, staff and community members.
We invite you to explore the following images as an illustration of where we've been, where we are now – and to imagine the possibilities of where the Library will be in the future!
The Library's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Lab ensures that nobody need spread a map on the floor and stand on it ever again. The lab houses six workstations that allow users to manipulate data and produce graphic representations of the results in geographic settings. That may mean tracking changes in sea levels, displaying the complexities of overlapping territories in First Nations land claims, or analyzing movements of improvising modern dancers.
Fewer card catalogues and more flexible study space greet visitors at the Chapman Learning Commons in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, located in the concourse of the former Main Library. Today, the Learning Commons provides tutoring, writing support and peer academic coaching services for undergraduate students.
The learning tools available to UBC students studying at the Library have changed dramatically over the years. Computer hardware from 1973 provides a sharp contrast to the Mac computers currently available at several Library locations.
Before the gleaming glass walls of Koerner Library were raised, Sedgewick Library served as an active student hub with many notable architectural details. The original entrance is still visible today, looking across the garden plaza level. The recently renovated lounge and study area on the third level (main entrance) of Koerner Library includes a fireplace, computer lab, flexible seating and a popular reading collection.
Clockwise from top left: Rhone & Iredale Architects skylight design, 1972; student study space in Sedgewick Library, 1973; entrance to Sedgewick Library, 1973; renovated lounge and study area in Koerner Library; main entrance, Koerner Library.
Spending hours flipping through card catalogues is a thing of the past. The renovated Garden Level at Woodward provides students with a space for collaborative work and quiet study. It features new computers, and is complemented by plenty of natural light and original art on the walls.


Eyeglass Repair Kit. Includes Screw Driver and Assorted Tiny Screws.
The kit features a slim size that tucks easily into a purse or day bag for travel and everyday use. This version comes as a hang tag for display on standard retail racks.
