Charlie Im so sorry for your loss,but enjoy the memories and remember shes in a better place,may God help you thru this time of grief.
I am very sorry to hear of Diane's passing. I grew up in Maple Hills and made nearly daily visits to the family's store on Holland Road where all the kids worked growing up. Of course we all road the same bus to school in Holland. And when Diane opened her beauty salon at Oak Ridge, my mom and I were often customers. Diane was always a happy person and cutting some kind of craziness. I am sure she will be greatly missed by many.
as you mourn her loss and celebrate her life.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Prayers for peace and comfort during this difficult time.
We express our grief to your family of your loss. Your in our thoughts and prayers during these difficult times. Bless your Family and may we all help you through these hard times.
Charlie , Brian and Family, I am so very saddened to hear of Dianes passing. I didn't know Diane but when you talked about her I felt as I did. Prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Diane was a wonderful woman. I am so very sorry to hear she is gone. My prayers and love to Brian and Charlie and the family.

Porn deemed public health crisis or harmful in 5 states
Home » Porn deemed public health crisis or harmful in 5 states
At least five states have officially declared pornography a public health crisis or harmful to the public, and at least one other is considering a similar measure, according to bill updates filed on state legislature websites.
A resolution passed by the Tennessee Legislature declaring pornography a public health hazard was awaiting Gov. Bill Haslam's signature April 21. Days earlier, Tennessee became the fourth state to adopt such a resolution, joining Utah, South Dakota and Arkansas.
The Virginia General Assembly stopped short of declaring pornography a public health hazard or crisis, but in February passed a resolution that pornography leads to "individual and societal harms." The Georgia legislature adjourned its 2017 session with two resolutions, both in committees, that would declare pornography a public health crisis.
The resolutions emphasize research showing the harmful effects of pornography and call for education, prevention, and policy changes at the community and societal levels. As resolutions, none of the measures add to criminal offenses regarding pornography nor stipulate any punishment for its use.
Jay Dennis, founder of the One Million Men anti-pornography ministry, said that the measures are a valuable victory in communicating porn's harm.
"The fact that states are beginning to recognize pornography as a public health hazard, underscores what the Bible has been clear upon — sexual sin is destructive not only spiritually, but also emotionally and physically," said Dennis. "Identifying pornography as a public health hazard presents factual information to those outside of Christianity that this is not just a spiritual battle, it is a health issue facing every person."
Dennis encourages pastors to educate their churches on the dangers of porn, which he believes feeds sexual sin including human trafficking.
"This presents an opportunity for the church to begin broaching the subject of pornography, the number-one moral issue every church is facing," Dennis said in January after the Tennessee measure was introduced. "It's time to speak up and be the moral authority and allow the states to verify that fact. We must pray that every state will have the courage to enact legislation to show pornography's destructive harm."
The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE), which drafted the bill that Utah passed in 2016 as the first among states, hailed the bill's "domino effect" and noted "an international debate" on the issue.
"Even the Canadian Parliament passed a motion to study the public health impacts of pornography," NCOSE Senior Vice President and Executive Director Dawn Hawkins said after Tennessee's passage. "The Israeli Knesset is considering formal statements, and New Zealand activists are petitioning their government to address the harms of pornography."
When Republican Sen. Mae Beavers introduced Tennessee's measure in January, she said what was previously considered hardcore pornography has now become main stream. With technology, the average age of exposure to pornography is 11 to 12. She cited Washington State studies showing that as recently as 2004, 24.7 percent of convicted murderers in that state said pornography served as a trigger for their crimes.
Pornography is potentially biologically addictive, Tennessee's resolution states. The resolution adds that pornography is detrimental to families, discourages young men from marriage and leads to marital dissatisfaction and infidelity. Pornography treats women as "objects and commodities for the viewer's use," "normalizes violence and abuse of women and children," "increases the demand for sex trafficking, prostitution, and … child pornography," and may cause emotional, mental and medical illnesses, the Tennessee measure reads.
South Dakota passed a concurrent resolution declaring porn a public health hazard Jan. 31, followed by the Arkansas House of Representatives on March 28. The Arkansas measure does not require Senate approval.
Much of pornography is protected by the First Amendment, according to the First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, but pornography that falls into the categories of obscenity and child pornography is against the law.
Half of teenagers and nearly three-quarters of young adults come across pornography at least monthly, and both groups on average consider viewing pornographic images less immoral than failing to recycle, a 2016 study by Josh McDowell Ministry and the Barna Group found.

Mobile on-site laptop and computer repairs Kearns.
Kearns is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, 57 km south-west of the Sydney CBD, located in the local government area of the City of Campbelltown.
Kearns was named after a local farmer, William Kearns, who owned a large property in the area during the 1800s. Kearns's land was originally owned by the Tharawal people until they were dispossessed by British settlers in the 1820s.
In 1975, Campbelltown Council began planning a major development in the area and chose the name Kearns for the suburb, since Epping Forest would have caused confusion with the suburb of Epping elsewhere in Sydney. Streets were named after famous rivers of the world, such as Mississippi, Danube and Yangtze. The first residents moved in in 1985, and in 1992 a local primary school was established.
Other suburbs around Kearns include Catherine Field, Varroville, Raby, and Eschol Park.

Mathematical and Statistical Techniques for Systems Medicine: The Wnt Signaling Pathway as a Case Study
Adam L. MacLean, Heather A. Harrington, Michael P. H. Stumpf, Helen M. Byrne
The last decade has seen an explosion in models that describe phenomena in systems medicine. Such models are especially useful for studying signaling pathways, such as the Wnt pathway. In this chapter we use the Wnt pathway to showcase current mathematical and statistical techniques that enable modelers to gain insight into (models of) gene regulation and generate testable predictions. We introduce a range of modeling frameworks, but focus on ordinary differential equation (ODE) models since they remain the most widely used approach in systems biology and medicine and continue to offer great potential. We present methods for the analysis of a single model, comprising applications of standard dynamical systems approaches such as nondimensionalization, steady state, asymptotic and sensitivity analysis, and more recent statistical and algebraic approaches to compare models with data. We present parameter estimation and model comparison techniques, focusing on Bayesian analysis and coplanarity via algebraic geometry. Our intention is that this (non-exhaustive) review may serve as a useful starting point for the analysis of models in systems medicine.

Brāhmaṇas are not meant to be brāhmaṇas alone: they should create other brāhmaṇas also. If a man is found who agrees to become a brāhmaṇa's disciple, he is also given the chance to become a brāhmaṇa. The brāhmaṇa is always engaged in the worship of Lord Viṣṇu.
Once upon a time, the cowherd men of Vṛndāvana, headed by Nanda Mahārāja, desired to go to Ambikāvana to observe the Śiva-rātri ceremony. The rāsa-līlā was performed during the autumn, and after that the next big ceremony is Holi, or the Dolāyātrā ceremony. Between the Dolāyātrā ceremony and the rāsa-līlā ceremony there is an important ceremony called Śiva-rātri, which is especially observed by the Śaivites, or devotees of Lord Śiva. Sometimes the Vaiṣṇavas also observe this ceremony because they accept Lord Śiva as the foremost Vaiṣṇava. But the function of Śiva-rātri is not observed very regularly by the bhaktas, or devotees of Kṛṣṇa. Under the circumstances, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam states that Nanda Mahārāja and the other cowherd men "once upon a time desired." This means that they were not regularly observing the Śiva-rātri function but that once upon a time they wanted to go to Ambikāvana out of curiosity. Ambikāvana is somewhere in Gujarat Province, and it is said to be situated on the river Sarasvatī. Yet we do not find any Sarasvatī River in Gujarat Province, although there is a river named Savarmatī. In India, all the big places of pilgrimage are situated on nice rivers like the Ganges, Yamunā, Sarasvatī, Narmadā, Godāvarī and Kāverī. Ambikāvana was situated on the bank of the Sarasvatī, and Nanda Mahārāja and all the other cowherd men went there.
They very devotedly began to worship the deity of Lord Śiva and Ambikā. It is the general practice that wherever there is a temple of Lord Śiva, there must be another temple, of Ambikā (or Durgā), because Ambikā is the wife of Lord Śiva and is the most exalted of chaste women. She doesn't live outside the association of her husband. After reaching Ambikāvana, the cowherd men of Vṛndāvana first bathed themselves in the river Sarasvatī. If one goes to any place of pilgrimage, his first duty is to take a bath and sometimes to shave his head. That is the first business. After taking a bath, they worshiped the deities and then distributed charity in the holy places.
According to the Vedic system, charity is given to the brāhmaṇas. It is stated in the Vedic śāstras that only the brāhmaṇas and the sannyāsīs can accept charity. The cowherd men from Vṛndāvana gave the brāhmaṇas cows decorated with golden ornaments and beautiful garlands. The brāhmaṇas are given charity because they are not engaged in any business profession. They are supposed to be engaged in brahminical occupations, as described in the Bhagavad-gītā—namely, they must be very learned and must perform austerity and penances. Not only must they themselves be learned, but they must also teach others. Brāhmaṇas are not meant to be brāhmaṇas alone: they should create other brāhmaṇas also. If a man is found who agrees to become a brāhmaṇa's disciple, he is also given the chance to become a brāhmaṇa. The brāhmaṇa is always engaged in the worship of Lord Viṣṇu. Therefore the brāhmaṇas are eligible to accept all kinds of charity. But if the brāhmaṇas receive excess charity, they are to distribute it for the service of Viṣṇu. In the Vedic scriptures, therefore, one is recommended to give charity to the brāhmaṇas, and by so doing one pleases Lord Viṣṇu and all the demigods.
The pilgrims take a bath, worship the deity and give charity; they are also recommended to fast one day. They should go to a place of pilgrimage and stay there at least for three days. The first day is spent fasting, and at night they can drink a little water because water does not break the fast.
The cowherd men, headed by Nanda Mahārāja, spent that night on the bank of the Sarasvatī. They fasted all day and drank a little water at night. But while they were taking rest, a great serpent from the nearby forest appeared before them and hungrily began to swallow up Nanda Mahārāja. Nanda cried out helplessly, "My dear son, Kṛṣṇa, please come and save me from this danger! This serpent is swallowing me!" When Nanda Mahārāja cried for help, all the cowherd men got up and saw what was happening. They immediately took up burning logs and began to beat the snake to kill it. But in spite of being beaten with burning logs, the serpent was not about to give up swallowing Nanda Mahārāja.
At that time Kṛṣṇa appeared on the scene and touched the serpent with His lotus feet. Immediately upon being touched by the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, the serpent shed its reptilian body and appeared as a very beautiful demigod named Vidyādhara. His bodily features were so beautiful that he appeared to be worshipable. There was a luster and effulgence emanating from his body, and he was garlanded with a gold necklace. He offered obeisances to Lord Kṛṣṇa and stood before Him with great humility. Kṛṣṇa then asked the demigod, "You appear to be a very nice demigod and to be favored by the goddess of fortune. How is it that you performed such abominable activities that you got the body of a serpent?" The demigod then began to narrate the story of his previous life.
"My dear Lord," he said, "in my previous life I was named Vidyādhara and was known all over the world for my beauty. Because I was a celebrated personality, I used to travel all over in my airplane. While traveling, I saw a great sage named Aṅgirā. He was very ugly, and because I was very proud of my beauty, I laughed at him. Due to this sinful act, I was condemned by the great sage to assume the form of a serpent."
One should note here that before being favored by Kṛṣṇa a person is always under the modes of material nature, however elevated he may be materially. Vidyādhara was a materially elevated demigod, and he was very beautiful. He also held a great material position and was able to travel all over by airplane. Yet he was condemned to become a serpent in his next life. Any materially elevated person can be condemned to an abominable species of life if he is not careful. It is a misconception that after reaching the human body one is never degraded. Vidyādhara himself stated that even though he was a demigod he was condemned to become a serpent. But because he was touched by the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, he immediately came to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. He admitted, however, that in his previous life he was actually sinful. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person knows that he is always the servant of the servant of Kṛṣṇa; he is most insignificant, and whatever good he does is by the grace of Kṛṣṇa and the spiritual master (CC Madhya 13.80).
The demigod Vidyādhara continued to speak to Śrī Kṛṣṇa. "Because I was very proud of the exquisite beauty of my body," he said, "I derided the ugly features of the great sage Aṅgirā. He cursed me for my sin, and I became a snake. Now I consider that this curse by the sage was not at all a curse; it was a great benediction for me. Had he not cursed me, I would not have assumed the body of a serpent and would not have been kicked by Your lotus feet and thus freed from all material contamination."
In material existence, four things are very valuable: to be born in a decent family, to be very rich, to be very learned and to be very beautiful. These are considered to be material assets. Unfortunately, without Kṛṣṇa consciousness, these material assets sometimes become sources of sin and degradation. Despite Vidyādhara's being a demigod and having a beautiful body, he was condemned to the body of a snake due to pride. Therefore from this incident we can learn that those who are too proud of their material assets or who are inimical toward others are degraded to the bodies of snakes. A snake is considered to be the most cruel and envious living entity, but those who are human beings and are envious of others are considered to be even more vicious than snakes. The snake can be charmed or controlled by mantras and herbs, but a person who is envious cannot be controlled by anyone.

Submit "Reconsideration Request" with extensive documentation, explaining how the backlinks were obtained, what was done to remove them, and assurances that Google's Quality Guidelines will be strictly adhered to in the future.
The key to successfully removing a Google Manual Action Penalty is to find all your backlinks. Use several sources and cross reference all the links to get as many bad backlinks as possible.
It is also important to keep as many good links as possible. Backlinks are still a very important part of Google's algorithm. Removing good links will impact your search results in the future. It's important to manually screen each link to verify whether it's a good or bad link.
Use your keyword in your content with a purpose. Don't use the exact keyword in the title, url, header tags, image tags and internal links. Do your keyword research to find synonyms and long-tail variations of your keyword. However, don't under-do your keywords for fear of a penalty. Write your content so that it's appealing to your visitor and clearly lets Google know what your page is about.
Website visitors are looking for high quality content that has direct and immediate value for them. If you don't deliver, Google won't serve up your pages. Google can see this though your analytics (see below).
If your website isn't delivering good content, or the right content for visitors, they won't stay on your website long (low visitor engagement), or might leave without ever getting deeper into your site (high bounce rate).
Lots of ads and affiliate links are red flags for Google. Google sees your page is more for generating clicks to ads and affiliate links and not very valuable for your visitor.
If you have affiliate links and ads, keep the content towards the top. Don't make your visitor scroll for your content.
The screenshot below is part of a backlink report for a website that has a Manual Action Penalty. You can see that the backlinks are coming from spammy directory sites and automated link submissions sites. This website has thousands of these bad backlinks.
All websites have some low quality backlinks, but if you find that your website has over 50% spammy backlinks, you should start getting those links removed.
Google knows what kinds of websites should be backlinking to you. For example, if you have a fitness site and pet shops are backlinking to you, Google will see this as spammy or worse, a deliberate attempt to game the Google guidelines.
All your content should be within 2 or 3 clicks from where your visitor enters your site. If your visitor can't find what they want, they will bounce off your site. Creating a website structure that guides your visitors to the content they are looking for is probably one of the most important aspects when you are developing your website.
Don't pay for links. Google knows. 'Nuff said.
If you have been hit with a Google Manual Penalty you will find a message from your Google Search Console telling you that your site has been penalized.


Title Is Multi-Path Transport Suitable for Latency Sensitive Traffic?
This paper assesses whether multi-path communication can help latency-sensitive applications to satisfy the requirements of their users. We consider Concurrent Multi-path Transfer for SCTP (CMT-SCTP) and Multi-path TCP (MPTCP) and evaluate their proficiency in transporting video, gaming, and web traffic over combinations of WLAN and 3G interfaces. To ensure the validity of our evaluation, several experimental approaches were used including simulation, emulation and live experiments. When paths are symmetric in terms of capacity, delay and loss rate, we find that the experienced latency is significantly reduced, compared to using a single path. Using multiple asymmetric paths does not affect latency -- applications do not experience any increase or decrease, but might benefit from other advantages of multi-path communication. In the light of our conclusions, multi-path transport is suitable for latency-sensitive traffic and mature enough to be widely deployed.

Sharad Sagar
Tags: Sharad Sagar Dexterity Global Interview
If you just have a look at the honor and awards that have been presented to Sharad over the last couple of years, you will get a viable idea about his ingenuity and vigor to make a change. At the small age of 16, he founded Dexterity Global, an internationally awarded social enterprise that designs solutions and platforms to help democratize education and create greater access for middle school and high school students to scholastic and co-curricular opportunities, resources, and platforms.
The next five years, surely overwhelmed both Sharad and others associated with him looking at the kind of impact his startup had on people. During this time, it engaged close to 1 million students in more than 46 countries across six continents, online and offline. Sharad also sits on the Board of several startups and advises several others informally. Sharad's vision is to democratize education and create a platform for every child.
Please provide a brief overview of your product/ service.
Dexterity Global democratizes access to educational opportunities, empowering students to change the world by giving them access to its ecosystem of innovative educational platforms.
What inspired you to build the above product/ service?
I saw how my parents who had fought their entire life for their own education were yet again fighting for the education of their children. They put up an incredible fight. And, their fight matters to me. I want to make sure that no parent ever again has to fight that hard to send their kids to school, to secure good academic and co-curricular resources and opportunities for their children, or to save enough bucks to "buy education" or "buy educational access".
And, that's the reason why I set out at Dexterity Global to create a world where the access to education would be truly democratized, where every child will have a platform to look forward to, and where no parent ever again will have to choose between skipping meals and sending kids to school.
What is your life mantra?
"Consistency. Clarity. Courage." I like to stand for consistency, clarity and courage in my thoughts, words, and actions.
What was the most challenging part of your journey till now?
The world today is so used to "helping poor kids", "donating to charity", and "saving the world through summer projects" that enabling people to look at systems level, all-inclusive, self-sustained and scalable solutions was challenging. We work for children. We don't ask for donations. And, we believe non-profit is a legal structure and not a business model. And, to inspire people to move beyond traditional approaches to "doing good" has been challenging but very fulfilling.
How did you overcome those challenges?
We inspired confidence in ourselves, reflected that in our actions and models and results, and it eventually began inspiring confidence in all parties alike.
Share some details about the investments that you have been able to fetch for the business till now.
We have a self-sustained business model. We haven't raised any outside investments or a single penny in donations. However, despite that, we've created a magical model which says, "If you can pay, you pay. If you cannot, Dexterity pays."
How do you protect yourself from the problem of Brain Drain?
We are not creating a startup; we are creating history. Money is not our sole focus; impact is. And, thus, boys and girls working at our offices are making history together. They are neither concerned about paychecks nor lured by it. The day we stop living up to our promises, they will leave. It's a promise we have made to ourselves and to the organization.
According to you, what are the three qualities an individual must have to achieve success?
A Monk's patience
A Warrior's courage
A Child's imagination
Which online tools/ services/ apps do you use the most and would like to recommend as well?
Google Business Tools are great. Asana is an amazing task manager. Dropbox is useful too.
Share any one habit which you think makes you more productive.
I walk a lot. It helps me think better and also pumps me up for the next task
Share any one habit which you wish to change in yourself.
Maybe, I am too demanding a CEO. I would like to get a little softer there (but, not too much).
Answer in less than 50 words
One tip to success:
Pitch your idea to as many people as you can.
One mistake you believe every individual must avoid:
Avoid the "I am always right" syndrome. It hinders learning. It's alright to make mistakes.
One most important lesson that you have learnt till now:
Surround yourself with optimists. It helps.
What are your plans for next 3 years?
We are hoping to contain growth for the next two years. Test out our backend and bandwidth completely so that there isn't a single micro-scopic error. And, then explode, hopefully crossing the 200 million mark and encompass every single SAARC country.
If you get a chance to start your career again what would you do differently this time?
Start even earlier. (Started at about 14 though.
What are your top three getaway destinations?
California (I amn't into vacations yet. I work 24×7, 365 days.)
Share a quote that inspires you the most.
Sorry, it's a little long but I truly hope every child grows up reading this and every honest entrepreneur reads it once a week.
"People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway." – Mother Teresa

Renee Spierdijk: Imposed Transitions
Renee Spierdijk's work responds to images of young women in formal settings, mainly from found photographs. Spierdijk's current work is largely set in 19th century America during the civil war and its immediate aftermath; a time of upheaval when many were forced to search for a new identity or had a new identity imposed on them. This is an experience which is both timeless and in an era of continued forced migration as contemporary as ever.
Renee Spierdijk is a Dutch artist, born in Amsterdam, who came to England in 1977. She studied Fine Art at the Byam Shaw School of Art and Goldsmith's College, and now lives and works in Cambridge.

Reality Machines: an art exhibition on Post-Truth
Exhibition Preview, Friday 9 March from 7-9pm
Performance by Sophie Seita 'Making Light: In the Temple of Formidable Hypotheses', at 7:30pm (duration 15mins)
"Truth" is of no small importance to human affairs, yet it has been and remains a contested category. Its status shifts radically through time, place, religion, discipline— and today, social platform. Truth can be definite and mercurial, divine and political. As secularism, cosmopolitanism and positivism enter a moment of crisis, and as information seems to be ever more available – while also subject to algorithmic modification – anxieties about the status of truth and the transparency of information are on the rise.
"Post-truth" was the 2016 Oxford English Dictionary word of the year, denoting "circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief." The crisis in objectivity that this new word unveils has been accompanied by an unprecedented proliferation of homemade images that excel the art of "remixology", the "practice of recombining preexistent content". These images result in often-fake contents that circulate both virally and ephemerally online. The "post-truth phenomenon", however, is not only fuelled by low-tech and intimate creativity, but also by technologically sophisticated and politically driven techniques of image creation, alteration and destruction. These sustain electoral agendas, responses to catastrophe and affective relationships to powerholders.
While fake news has a long history, its contemporary currency has been enhanced by the ways in which new biopolitical regimes, from genetic testing to big data, confront more entrenched epistemes. These regimes are potentially capable of bypassing old forms of expertise and knowledge production. The ethical and aesthetic significance of this shift in the status of "truth" is pending critical debate, as is art's response to the current wave of iconographic politicization, conspiratorial fears, and data skepticism. Reality Machines addresses this "knowledge controversy" while intersecting it with the work of artists from a multiplicity of countries working as activists, social critics, and human rights advocates. Curated by Mara Polgovsky Ezcurrain.

Visions of Plague: Photographs of the Third Plague Pandemic
The exhibition extends over all floors of the building.
The third pandemic of plague (in its bubonic and pneumonic clinical forms) struck the globe with devastating results between 1894 and 1959. It was the first time that plague would reach and establish itself in all inhabited continents. It was also the first time that any epidemic would be photographed. As plague spread from harbour to harbour, and amongst cities, towns and villages, so did photographs of the pandemic through reproductions in the daily and illustrated press. The exhibition Visions of Plague showcases for the first time this founding moment in epidemic photography. Showing photographs collected and digitized from across the world by the ERC-funded project Visual Representations of the Third Plague Pandemic, the exhibition takes us from the frozen steppes of Manchuria to San Francisco, Brazil, India and Madagascar, where epidemics of plague challenged colonial and national forms of government, reshaped the urban environment and generated new ways of understanding infectious diseases.
Visual Representations of the Third Plague Pandemic is an ERC project held at the University of St Andrews' Social Anthropology Department and the University of Cambridge's CRASSH, and led by medical anthropologist Dr Christos Lynteris. The project and the exhibition is funded by a European Research Council Starting Grant (under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme/ERC grant agreement no 336564).
The exhibition Visions of Plague: Photographs of the Third Plague Pandemic was realised with the cooperation of the Wellcome Library, the San Francisco Public Library, the Institute of Experimental Medicine, the Hong Kong University Library Special Collections, the Centre for South Asian Studies (Cambridge), the Joseph Needham Research Institute, the New York Academy of Medicine Library, and the Institut Pasteur Archives.

What is Art? The Search is Over
Panel Discussion & Book Launch
Thursday 19 October 2017, 5 – 8PM
Rooms SG1&2, Alison Richard Building, 7 West Road, Cambridge CB3 9DT
Help artist Robert Good celebrate the launch of A New Dictionary of Art – a new approach to an old problem.
Robert will be joined by philosopher Professor Derek Matravers, artist John Clark and designer Jane Glennie for a lively and informative discussion about his project to collate over 3000 definitions of Art from the Internet. Includes a short reading, book signing, and refreshments.
Please book a place for this event via Eventbrite
A New Dictionary of Art – One word: 3,000 definitions.
"Both splendid and splendidly bonkers" – Professor Derek Matravers, philosopher
The definition of 'Art' has exercised philosophers, artists, and art-lovers for centuries, yet we are no nearer a consensus of what in fact it is. The one term not found in most dictionaries of art is the term 'Art' itself.
A New Dictionary of Art takes a refreshingly alternative approach, allowing you to take your pick from over 3,000 definitions compiled from the internet via chat-rooms and discussion forums as well as from more established authorities, artists and institutions. Passions run high as formal sits alongside informal, jocular alongside vulgar: all are left to fight it out on the page.
Each entry is carefully alphabetised and has been valiantly edited and annotated for accuracy and completeness to the point of absurdity. By retaining the format and formality of a dictionary in this way, A New Dictionary of Art acknowledges with humour our continuing desire for absolute knowledge and certainty.
"Weirdly but powerfully provocative… one of the most useful things I've read in a while" – John Clark, painter
Robert Good is an artist based in Cambridge UK and Masters graduate from Cambridge School of Art, ARU
Derek Matravers is a philosopher of aesthetics at the Open University and a former Research Fellow at Darwin College, Cambridge.
John Clark is a painter and maker based in Cambridge UK.
Jane Glennie is an artist and typographer and founder of Peculiarity Press.

FREEDOM AND FRAGMENTATION: IMAGES OF DECOLONISATION AND PARTITION FROM THE CENTRE OF SOUTH ASIAN STUDIES ARCHIVE
1 August to 27 October 2017
Exhibition reception 25 August at 4pm
To recognise and commemorate the many meanings of freedom in South Asia in 1947, the Centre of South Asian Studies is holding the first ever public exhibition of its collections. Seventy years on we look back to reflect on the lead-up to and the consequences of independence, partition, and decolonisation. The Centre of South Asian Studies has a unique archive of photographs, maps and films. Across the four floors of the Alison Richard Building, the exhibition will have on display some of the highlights of its collections, most of which are being shown publicly for the first time. These images illustrate the diversity of anti-colonial struggles and independence movements, as well as depict British rule in the twilight of empire.
Please join the Vice-Chancellor, Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, and the Centre's Committee of Management in launching the exhibition on Friday, 25 August at 4pm. Drinks and snacks will be served.
The exhibition is part of the University of Cambridge Museums 'India Unboxed' programme.
Edgelands
8 June – 28 July 2017
Exhibition opening event on 8 June 2017, from 6 – 8PM
Edgelands presents the work of six visual artists who explore and document the wastelands and the neglected environs to be found on the margins of urban living. Housing estates, out of town retail parks and industrial areas, these spaces are the great 'unnamed and ignored landscapes…places where our slipstream has created a zone of inattention' and yet where all manner of interest and beauty thrive.

Opening event programme
The exhibition opening starts with a dance performance by LKR & Co (London), choreographed by Lizzi Kew Ross and featuring eight students from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. The dancers explore the modern glass spaces in and around the atrium area of the Alison Richard Building and echo the works by artists from the Contemporary British Painting Group. The haunting sounds of a solo viola accompanies the dance with a composition by Michael Berkeley.
'In Conversation' evening with Iain Sinclair and Nick Papadimitriou. Sinclair and Papadimitriou, writers on the wastelands and edgelands of Britain, will be talking about their work, followed by a Q&A. This event is free, but booking is recommended.
Iain Sinclair is best known for his book London Orbital, an account of his walking and exploring the terrain close by the M25. Iain is a prolific writer of both fiction and non-fiction and has presented a number of films for TV and cinema.
Nick Papadimitriou's exploratory walks led him to coin the phrase 'Deep Topography', an amalgam of writing and observation. His much-acclaimed Scarp is a survey of the northern edges of London. Nick is the subject fo John Roger's film The London Perambulator.

Complementing Solitude
An exhibition by Julia Ball & Loukas Morley
3 April – 26 May 2017
Private View 6 April2017, 5.30 – 8PM
An exhibition of works by two Cambridge artists from different generations, approaching colour, material and abstraction in contrasting ways. This exhibition aims to span these differences and to create interesting visual conversations in the spaces of the Alison Richard Building.
Julia Ball was born in Devon in 1930. She trained at Reading University as a printmaker and has lived in Cambridge since the early 1960s. The East Anglian coast has influenced her work with its spectacular space, light and colour. Agnes Martin and Winifred Nicholson have also both been influential in her work. Julia is represented in the Kettle's Yard as well as the New Hall art collections.
Julia Ball
Loukas Morley studied photography and cinematography at college; the multiple layers found in his paintings bearing reference to the layering of narratives, colour, compilation and framing. He is spare and precise in his work; his paintings are like traces of a performance that took place in his studio. The materiality of paint and its physical relationship with the body, enable him to choreograph compositions that are the tangible placements of his mark making. Loukas is currently artist in residence at Christs College, University of Cambridge.

Call for Submissions – 'Artificial Things' Photography Exhibition
We have teamed up with photography organisation Shutter Hub, and are excited to announce the call out for submissions for 'Artificial Things', a photography exhibition taking place in the Alison Richard Building from November 2017 to January 2018.
There will always be a question over the photographic image as to whether it can ever truly capture reality, but with 'Artificial Things' we'd like to explore that idea further, to bring together photographic artists who use photography to explore and merge the boundaries of the fake and the real.
This exhibition will endeavour to bring together contemporary photography that reaches across the medium into alternative and historical processes and stretches the format of photography to its very edges whilst broadly investigating the theme of 'Artificial Things'.
The deadline for submissions is 5pm on Monday 04 September 2017.
Further details can be found on the Shutterhub Blog.


A green housing initiative brought to you by Enbridge Gas.
Savings by Design is an end-to-end energy performance solution.
This full-day workshop should take place a minimum of 4 weeks following the Visioning Session. At this session a team of experts will explore possible design improvements to the residential new construction home in a risk-free environment. Bringing professionals into the process earlier, you can help avoid costly changes later.
Following an introduction and sharing of goals, two groups are typically formed. The first looks at improving energy performance. The second addresses other sustainability priorities identified in the Visioning Session. Throughout the day, results are presented.
Reference Energy Model: Meeting the minimum energy requirements of the 2017 Building Code with SB-12.
Baseline Energy Model: Your building's estimated energy use based on your preliminary design.
Throughout the Integrated Design Process session, your team will work with the SBD experts to explore alternative opportunities to save energy and meet the goals of the program. An SBD energy model will be developed at the IDP session and include a final report summarizing all discussions, alternatives and recommendations brought forward.

Behavioural response of alate Aphis craccivora Koch (Homoptera: Aphididae) to volatiles from different cowpea cultivars
http://agritrop.cirad.fr/592627/

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jen.12633
The cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora, is a major insect pest of cowpea in Africa. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) mediate plant-arthropod interactions that could be used in the management of insect pests. In this study, we established the VOC profile involved in the interaction between A. craccivora and four cowpea cultivars, namely Ex-Luanda, Katumani 80, Machakos 66 and Ken Kunde 1. Behavioural assays were conducted to study host preference and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) for chemical analysis of volatiles. In preference assays, alate A. craccivora had no significant preference for any of the four cowpea cultivars tested. However, in the olfactometer assays, the aphids showed a significant preference for odours from cultivar Ex-Luanda compared to Katumani 80. Machakos 66 and Ken Kunde 1 elicited neutral responses. In pairwise comparisons, alate A. craccivora did not distinguish between odours of respective cowpea cultivars. GC/MS analysis identified 23 compounds in the volatiles of the four cowpea cultivars. Not all compounds were detected in all cowpea cultivars, and the detected compounds amounts varied in each cultivar. Of these, only four compounds (hexanal, (E)-2-hexenal, 1-octen-3-ol and p-xylene) were emitted in significantly different quantities in the four cultivars. A blend of hexanal and (E)-2-hexenal added to cowpea cultivar Ex-Luanda decreased its attractiveness to A. craccivora compared to the control. Our findings showed differential attractiveness of VOCs of cowpea cultivars to A. craccivora, suggesting that VOCs could be used in the management of A. craccivora.

Total commitment
You don't try journalism, it tries you. And there's no turning back ALRIGHT, YOU LOT. Like all great ideas born under the influence of red wine, I'm going to bash out this issue's Ed's Desk slightly inebriated. Now I don't for one minute think I'm the first to attempt such a feat in the 67-year history of the world's greatest magazine; no self-respecting journalist has earned their stripes without dancing with the boundaries of alcoholism, and god knows I have met a few who have wandered well past it (and no, I'm not making light of the addiction to alcohol that ruins countless lives each year – it's just a simple fact). As I write this I'm presently at a cruising altitude of 35,000 feet on my way to another motorcycle world…
Sprung! Big-bore Triumph Scrambler
MORE TANTALISING FACTS are beginning to leak out about Triumph's eagerly awaited Scrambler 1200, which is expected to hit the market in 2019. This is an important model for the British company, as it will go head-to-head with Ducati's 1100cc Scrambler, which is being heavily promoted around the world. We first saw this machine being tested in April, but the latest test bikes are getting ever closer to production specification, judging by this prototype that we again spotted at the firm's secret testing site in Spain. The new pictures also give our first view of the bike's right-hand side, complete with trademark Scrambler twin stacked exhaust pipes. The pipes show how close the machine is to completion, as they sport a very neatly finished, production-spec heatshield arrangement. As on the smaller 900cc Street Scrambler, that…
Shock of the new
WHERE THE EARLIER prototype we busted sported gold-coloured Öhlins forks to match the twin rear shocks from the same supplier, the latest version features more subtle black front suspension. One potential explanation is that this is the expected lower-spec version of the Scrambler. Just as Triumph makes two derivatives of the Thruxton – the base model and the Ohlinssuspended 'R'– it's expected to offer two levels for the new Scrambler 1200. At the back it's still very clear that the prototype is fitted with a pair of remote reservoir Ohlins shocks, with the same dual spring arrangement seen in April. We'd expect the lower-spec Scrambler to use a cheaper version.…
Never stall again
MV Agusta has teamed with US company Rekluse to use its semiautomatic technology MV AGUSTA'S LATEST technology promises to take the embarrassment out of motorcycle riding, for its new semi-auto clutch – revealed for the first time on the Turismo Veloce 800 Lusso SCS model – makes it impossible for the rider to stall. The process of changing gears is undergoing a revolution in motorcycling. Quickshifters, not long ago reserved for racebikes, are becoming widespread. Combined with fly-by-wire throttles, it means clutchless downchanges, complete with rev-matching blips, are joining the traditional quickshifter's clutchless upshift. So, on many new bikes, you only need to engage the clutch when you're pulling away or stopping. MV Agusta's latest SCS (Smart Clutch System) tech means that even those jobs have been automated. The Italian motorcycle company says it has spent…
THE CLEVER BIT of the semi-auto clutch is the 'CX EXP disc', which looks like a thicker version of a normal clutch plate. Two discs are held together with sprung bolts and sandwich six 'wedges' that are able to slide in and out. As revs rise, the wedges move outwards under centrifugal force, pushing the sides of the CX EXP discs apart and engaging the clutch. At lower revs, the springs holding the discs together overcome the centrifugal force, sliding the wedges back in. The system can be tweaked to alter the revs at which the clutch engages, using different springs and wedge profiles.…
Anything supercharged?
ANOTHER BIKE missing from the 2019 US model list is the Ninja H2, but the cheaper, touring-oriented H2SX and H2SX SE remain. Given that Kawasaki has a special low-volume production line to build the H2 and track-only H2R machines, and its apparent dedication to supercharging, a very different replacement is likely. Kawasaki has previously hinted about other radical supercharged bikes. In 2016 it showed two styling sketches – the SC-01 Spirit Charger and SC-02 Soul Charger. The former was a luxury sports-tourer, perhaps previewing the H2SX that arrived the following year, while the Soul Charger was a naked, neo-retro machine. Given the popularity of naked superbikes at the moment, the Soul Charger idea has wings. If it uses the low-volume approach of the original H2, we can expect a high price, crazy…


In this panel discussion, we examine what role design can play in changing our relationship to food within a city. We talk to those who have sought to radically redesign elements of the Scottish food system.
This short programme as part of the CCA Cooking Pot series to coincide with the theme of 'Political Animal', questions the role design can play in questioning and challenging our relationship with food, the city and our communities. The series is designed by Steph Marsden of food/play/food to engage members of the public to with themes that link food, the city and our roles as political animals.


This gorgeous top has a double-ruffle V-neck and a cropped silhouette with a hem band that makes your waist look smaller. Blouson sleeves and hidden side zip. Mostly lined. A romantic friend for leggings and jeans.


Each child will be given a "pot" to begin the growing process. Next, use a small shovel-like scoop to put thechocolate for chocolate fountains into each pot. Then, the kids can fertilize the chocolate with yummy toppings. Depending on whether the group is all boys or girls, or is mixed gender, might influence the topping choice a bit. For example, an all boy group would enjoy choosing to "fertilize" with Oreo cookie crumbles or toffee bits, but would probably like adding gummy worms to the "dirt" and finishing off with fondant grasshoppers and leaves.

Turning the Tables: Planned Parenthood Undercover Videomaker Files Motion to Disqualify Judge Who Censored Videos
Tim Brown 2017-06-10
Tim Brown / June 10, 2017
Anti-abortion activist David Daleiden speaks during the Family Research Counci''s (FRC) 11th annual ProLifeCon Digital Action Summit on Friday, January 22, 2016 at the FTC Washington D.C. headquarters on the day of the March for Life, commemorating the 43nd anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide. Daleiden was awarded the Digital Prolife Pioneer Award from FRC President Tony Perkins for his undercover work exposing Planned ParenthoodÕs sale of aborted babies' parts. Daleiden, who is the founder for the Center for Medical Progress, posed as a biotechnology representative to infiltrate Planned Parenthood affiliates and secretly recorded supposed efforts to procure tissue for research. (Photo by Jeff Malet)
The man behind exposing the ghoulish practice of Planned Parenthood's illegal sale of murdered baby's body parts has filed a motion that requests a federal judge be disqualified after ordering videos that show abortionists discussing the dismemberment of babies to be removed from the internet.
David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress' attorneys filed the motion in US District Court in Northern California on June 7 which requests the disqualification of Judge William H. Orrick III based "on the grounds that there is evidence of bias in favor of the plaintiff and prejudice against the defendants."
In an irony that is almost laughable if it were not so serious, the plaintiffs in the case, National Abortion Federation, claim that the videos endanger the lives of their hitmen, the abortionists.
Imagine that! These people actually are in fear for their lives while murdering thousands of babies every day. You cannot get any more twisted and depraved than that.
In the latest video released by CMP, which contained video that was filmed at NAF trade shows, where these baby butchers are laughing and discussing what they do saying such things as "the head that gets stuck that we can't get out," and "an eyeball just fell down into my lap, and that is gross!"
Judge Orrick ordered the censoring of the videos at the end of May to any video links and references to NAF member identities.
Like the spineless people they are, YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo and LiveLeak all complied with the judge's order in spite of the First Amendment's provisions on freedom of the press and no law shall be written to curb free speech. Therefore, the judge's order is illegal and unconstitutional.
According to the motion, Daleiden provided an affidavit that provides evidence for why Orrick should be disqualified.
This includes Judge Orrick's longstanding relationship as a past board member, and more recently as an emeritus board member, of an organization that has a "key partnership" with a Planned Parenthood affiliate that is a member of the plaintiff National Abortion Federation (NAF). Judge Orrick's wife has also posted public comments, pictured with her husband, that are supportive of Planned Parenthood and critical of these moving defendants. For this reason, and the others set forth below, Daleiden and CMP respectfully request that Judge Orrick be recused from this case and that a stay be granted on all proceedings in this case until this motion is heard.
The affidavit also points out Orrick's affiliation and advising of Good Samaritan Family Resource Center, which is tied to Planned Parenthood, when it was unionized and then assisted them on several legal issues from 1986 to 2009.

Orrick's wife was also discussed in the affidavit.
I learned that, no later than the fall of 2015 Mrs. Orrick, "pinkified" her Facebook page and added the "I stand with Planned Parenthood" overlay across her profile picture. Planned Parenthood urged its supporters to add these elements to their Facebook pages as part of a social media campaign orchestrated specifically in response to the release of videos by myself and CMP. "Pinkifying" showed one's support for Planned Parenthood and one's belief that the videos were fraudulent.
Just days ago, I further discovered that Mrs. Orrick "liked" a Facebook post by the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) that described my and CMP's work as "heavily edited videos by a sham organization run by extremists who will stop at nothing to deny women legal abortion services." The Facebook post also appeared to describe our videos as "domestic terrorism" against abortion providers.
Mrs. Orrick also liked a Facebook Post by "Keep America Pro-Choice" that applauded my indictment in Harris County, Texas, which was ultimately dismissed as invalid by two different judges. Both "likes" were accompanied by a profile picture featuring Judge and Mrs. Orrick.
Orrick was also behind introducing now-Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) at a fundraiser when she was seeking to be California's attorney general.
"I raised money and sponsored an event for the campaign of Kamala Harris for Attorney General in 2009, before I joined the Department of Justice," Orrick said.
What's interesting is that Harris defeated then-Los Angeles district attorney Steven Cooley, whose law firm, Steven Cooley & Associates, now represents Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, who are facing 15 felony counts under California's pretended law of protecting "confidential" conversations.
"Then-Attorney General, now U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, wielded unprecedented police power against a true American journalist while civil suits were already pending in Federal District Court concerning the same video-recordings," says Cooley. "Public Records Act requests filed by SCA reveal the Attorney General's real interest, in this case, is entirely political, meant to manipulate the law to do the bidding of their benefactors at Planned Parenthood."
RELATED: Florida: Armed Citizen Takes Out Shooter at Children's Event
We know that Harris and her office conspired with Planned Parenthood to introduce the legislation to attack Daleiden and his team for exposing their corruption and crimes via the means of undercover investigative videos, a clear attack on freedom of the press.
The charges against Daleiden and Merritt came on March 28, 2017 via the new California Attorney General, Xavier Becerra.
Both Becerra and Harris received contributions from Planned Parenthood and Harris took in a whopping $39,855 from the Abortion Policy/Pro-Abortion Rights lobby group, according to OpenSecrets.org. She also garnered $15,000 from Planned Parenthood for her attorney general campaign.
Dalieden has already had charges against him dismissed in 2016. Now, he is continually being harassed by the state of California. These people have no shame. They murder the most innocent among us in ways that would make the Islamic State blush, then hypocritically fear for the lives of their hitmen and women for simply letting them speak with their own mouths, and then seek to silence those who are exposing their crimes.
Judge Orrick should be impeached. Senator Harris should be removed from office, and Attorney General Xavier Becerra should also be removed, along with every single legislator that approved of the bill that openly attacks freedom of the press under the guise of "protecting" private conversations. If you don't want your conversations exposes, keep your mouth shut!

What draws men to Orthodoxy is not simply that it's challenging or mysterious. What draws them is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the center of everything the Church does or says.
Many intellectually-inclined Orthodox converts began by reading Church history and the early Christian writers, and found it increasingly compelling. Eventually they faced the question of which of the two most ancient churches, the Roman Catholic or the Orthodox, makes the most convincing claim of being the original Church of the Apostles.
A lifelong Orthodox says that what men like is "stability: Men find they can trust the Orthodox Church because of the consistent and continuous tradition of faith it has maintained over the centuries." A convert says, "The Orthodox Church offers what others do not: continuity with the first followers of Christ." This is continuity, not archeology; the early church still exists, and you can join it.
