Qatar to see regional revival of lost equestrian sport
Paper Boy
Doha will host the regional revival of djerid, an oriental equestrian sport from the 16th century, during the 'Horse Games and Horse Sports Exhibition', which will open on October 14. The five-month-long exhibition will feature a broad range of equestrian sports, from the traditional ones to more sophisticated performances that are a part of the Olympics and international equestrian events. In djerid, two teams of horsemen try to score points by throwing wooden javelins, of up to one metre in length, at each other. The game was abolished 150 years ago and has since been revived in Turkey. However, this is the first time it will be played in the Arab region. The 'Horse Games and Horse Sports Exhibition' is being organised by the Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum (part of Qatar Museums Authority) in collaboration with the Qatar Olympic Committee and Qatar Equestrian Federation. A traditional Qatari horse-rider show and the revival of djerid will take place at 7pm on October 13 at the Qatar Equestrian Federation on Al Furousiya Street, Al Rayyan. The event is open to the public. The exhibition will open to the public the next day, and will last till March 20, 2011. http://thepeninsulaqatar.com/qatar/128243-qatar-to-see-regional-revival-of-lost-equestrian-sport.html

Did You Know? Medieval Cookbooks Reflecting Exchanges in Gastronomic Traditions along the Silk Roads
© Alimkhodjaev Bobur/UNESCO Youth Eyes on the Silk Roads
The ancient routes of exchange across Central Asia directly shaped the diets and foods consumed in Eurasia today. In fact, many of the most familiar grains, fruits, legumes, and nuts enjoyed around the world were first spread across Central Asia via the Silk Roads. As novel ingredients made their way into the diets of new communities, and foreign recipes from along these routes reached the courts of Europe, East Asia, and the Arabian Peninsula, gastronomy began to be formalised in the form of 'proto-cookbooks' which compiled popular recipes of the time frequently including foreign dishes and novel ideas about the links between diet and health. The earliest of these 'cookbooks' were not always instructional 'how-to' recipes intended for the general public but were often formalised lists of dishes for royal courts, designed the to showcase the cosmopolitan nature of their culinary appetites.
Some of the very earliest recorded recipes from history come from Mesopotamia, found on Akkadian tablets dating to around 1700 BCE. From antiquity we know of the De re coquinaria (On the Subject of Cooking) a summary of some Ancient Greek and Roman cuisine possibly first compiled in the 1st century CE. It is sometimes (although probably erroneously) attributed to the Roman 'gourmet' Marcus Gavius Apicius, and hence the term 'apicius' is sometimes used to refer to this cookbook. This collection of dishes has been an important record in piecing together the diets and gastronomic practices of the Ancient Mediterranean. The text of this collection which has survived to this day dates from later, the 4th or 5th century CE, with many of the recipes remaining popular and even surviving in print editions from the 15th century CE.
Amongst the earliest known cookbooks in Arabic are two entitled 'Kitab al-tabikh' both produced in Abbasid Baghdad, one compiled in the 10th century CE and the other in the 13th century CE by al-Baghdadi (d.1239 CE), originally containing 160 different recipes. Many of these dishes, such as date sweetened porridge, originated in the Arabian Peninsula, however, others were from the Iranian Plateau including an array of stews listed with their Persian names. Furthermore, from the Eastern end of the Silk Roads, one of the earliest surviving Chinese cookbooks believed to date from around 1330 CE is the 'Yinshan Zhengyao' (Dietary Principals) which was compiled by the court therapist and dietician Hu Sihui. Working in the Yuan court (1271-1368 CE) he recorded the cuisine of the day which was heavily influenced by foods from across Central and Western Asia including recipes of Mongolian, Turkic, and Persian origin mainly soups, noodles, and breads. As such it is an extremely valuable record of the diversity and shared gastronomic influences of Medieval Eurasia and formed the basis for the highly cosmopolitan diet and tastes of Yuan China. Additionally, the work was amongst the first to set out dietary principles for good health including moderation, variation, and proper hygiene and food storage.
The popular North West African dish, couscous appeared in a number of medieval cookbooks including the 13th century CE Kitab al-tabikh fi al-Maghrib wa al-Andalus which contains a couscous recipe from Marrakesh. There is also a recipe for couscous featured in the cookbook, Kitab fadalat al-khiwan compiled in the Iberian Peninsula. Couscous was also mentioned by the famed traveller, geographer, and diplomat known as Leo Africanus (1494 -1554 CE) who praised couscous for its taste and nourishment. The appearance of couscous in a number of accounts from historians and travellers suggests the dish spread rapidly to many parts of North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Europe, and beyond.
Indeed, as people moved across the Silk Roads passing through such varied terrain including mountains, deserts, and oases, they acquired new ingredients, foodstuffs, and dishes, which shaped many aspects of the culinary traditions that persist today. Foods that have criss-crossed along the Silk Roads include almonds, apples, apricots, peaches, pistachios, rice as well as an array of herbs and spices. Medieval recipe collections made the most of these new and exciting ingredients and writers compiled proto-cookbooks that showcased the cosmopolitan nature of gastronomic traditions of the time, often scouring the lengths of the Silk Roads for new dishes and influences and creating shared heritages in food and food preparation which are still evidenced today.
Kilwa Kisiwani an East African Trading Port on the Maritime Silk Roads
The maritime routes of the Silk Roads can be traced back thousands of years, to links between the Arabian Peninsula, Mesopotamia, and the Indus Valley Civilization.
The City of Balkh: Ancient Capital of Bactria and Centre of Buddhism and Zoroastrianism along the Silk Roads
The city of Balkh, situated on the plain between the Hindu Kush Mountain range and the Amu Darya river (the 'Oxus' in antiquity), in the north of modern day Afghanistan, sat at a cross-roads along the Silk Roads, with several trade routes intersecting in and around the city.
The Popularisation of Trousers in China and other Cross-Cultural influences reflected in Clothing

Self-organisation processes in (magneto)hydrodynamic turbulence
dc.contributor.advisor Berera, Arjun
dc.contributor.advisor McComb, David
dc.contributor.author Linkmann, Moritz Frederik Leon
dc.description.abstract Self-organising processes occurring in isotropic turbulence and homogeneous magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence are investigated in relation to the stability of helical flow structures. A stability analysis of helical triad interactions shows that compared to hydrodynamics, equilibria of the triadic evolution equations have more instabilities with respect to perturbations on scales larger than the characteristic scale of the system. Some of these instabilities can be mapped to Stretch-Twist-Fold dynamo action and others to the inverse cascade of magnetic helicity. High levels of cross-helicity are found to constrain small-scale instabilities more than large scale instabilities and are thus expected to have an asymmetric damping effect on forward and inverse energy transfer. Results from a numerical investigation into the influence of helicity on energy transfer and dissipation are consistent with this observation. The numerical work also confirms the predictions of an approximate method describing the Reynolds number dependence of the dimensionless dissipation coefficient for MHD turbulence. These predictions are complemented by the derivation of mathematically rigorous upper bounds on the dissipation rates of total energy and cross-helicity in terms of applied external forces. Large-scale helical flows are also found to emerge in relaminarisation events in direct numerical simulations of isotropic hydrodynamic turbulence at low Reynolds number, where the turbulent fluctuations suddenly collapse in favour of a large-scale helical flow, which was identified as a phase-shifted ABC-flow. A statistical investigation shows similarities to relaminarisation of localised turbulence in wall-bounded parallel shear flows. The turbulent states have an exponential survival probability indicating a memoryless process with a characteristic lifetime, which is found to depend super-exponentially on Reynolds number akin to well-established results for pipe and plane Couette flow. These and further similarites suggest that the phase space dynamics of isotropic turbulence and wall-bounded shear flows are qualitatively similar and that the relaminarisation of isotropic turbulence can also be explained by the escape from a chaotic saddle. en

Wondering how to make bananas foster? This bananas foster recipe is delicious, simple, and takes 10 minutes to make!
What's a more romantic dessert than bananas foster? Bananas are sauteed in a gooey sauce of caramelized sugar and rum, and served over ice cream. There's usually a flame too, which brings in over the top drama! We created this bananas foster recipe to go with our salmon en papillote romantic dinner for two. We wanted a dessert that was quick and easy to whip up after the main meal, and bananas foster came to mind. Here we've created a bananas foster recipe that works for two, though the quantities can be enough for four small dessert portions. The best part: you can make it in 10 minutes! Keep reading for how to make bananas foster at home.
What does bananas foster mean?
First of all, what does bananas foster mean, and where did it come from? This delicious banana dessert comes from New Orleans. It consists of sliced bananas cooked in a butter and rum sauce, often prepared tableside using a flambé where the rum is set on fire in a dramatic flame.
Our question: where does "foster" come from? Honestly, I used to think it was a fancy French term pronounced "fos-TERRE". Nope, it's just plain old Foster! The dessert was created at a restaurant called Brennan's and named after Richard Foster, a friend of the restaurant owner (Foster was the chairman of the New Orleans Crime Commission). Myth debunked! No more bananas fos-TERRE for us.
The bananas foster sauce is made with butter, brown sugar, and spices, and then rum is added and lit on fire until it burns off and the sauce becomes thick and gooey! In many restaurants, the rum is burned off by lighting a flame at the table. For this homemade version of a bananas foster recipe, we also light the rum on fire: so be very, very careful! Alex is a big pyromaniac and had a lot of fun making a big dramatic flame. But he always makes sure to take the necessary precautions: stand away from the fire and keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Serve bananas foster with vanilla ice cream or our homemade whipped cream and it's a little bit of heaven.
The great thing about this recipe is that it takes about 10 minutes to put together with no advanced planning. When we're looking for simple healthy dessert recipes, that's one of our biggest criteria: how easy is it to whip up after we've cooked an entire meal? We created this bananas foster recipe especially to go with our cooking date menu — it's perfect for a Friday night or even Valentine's Day. The main dish is salmon en papillote, and that post includes more instructions on planning a cooking date!
What kind of rum for bananas foster?
You can use any rum, 80 proof or higher, for this bananas foster recipe. We like to use 100 proof spiced rum, which adds flavor and ignites easily. This recipe also uses creme de banana, a banana flavored liqueur. Please note that high-proof alcohol is flammable and extreme caution should be used when making this recipe. Be sure to have a fire extinguisher on hand in case of an accident.
Can bananas foster be made ahead?
Technically, you can make the bananas and sauce ahead of time, save it refrigerated, and then reheat it prior to serving. However, the bananas do lose some of their texture after refrigeration. Since the cook time is so short for this one, we'd recommend preparing it just before serving. To save time, you can measure out all the sauce ingredients in advance. Then, all you have to do is peel and slice the bananas, throw the sauce ingredients in the pan, and heat them for a few minutes!
This bananas foster recipe is grain free, gluten free, and vegetarian. For vegan, substitute coconut oil for the butter and use vegan ice cream.
Wondering how to make bananas foster? This bananas foster recipe is delicious, simple, and takes under 10 minutes to make!
Peel the bananas, then cut them in half crosswise and lengthwise.
In a medium skillet over medium low heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and creme de banana. Cook about 2 minutes until bubbly and thickened.
Add the bananas and turn them until coated with the sauce. Very carefully, add the rum, making sure not to drip any on the stove or the sides of the pan.
*What kind of rum for bananas foster? Any rum, 80 proof or higher, works for this bananas foster recipe. We like to use 100 proof spiced rum, which adds flavor and ignites easily.
**Caution: This alcohol is highly flammable and extreme caution should be used when making this recipe. Be sure to have a fire extinguisher on hand in case of an accident.
why is banana foster so addicting? Although its pretty simple to make, I always forget about it.
The flame is what makes the foster! I simply love you dinner menu for Valentine's day.
No one can resist bananas covered in sugar and rum. However, my bar cart is somehow lacking rum (!?) but I think the nanners would be equally as delicious sautéed in coffee liqueur. WHATCHYA THINK? I'mm do it. Then serve 'em along side some luscious, homemade coconut milk ice cream.
What a perfect dessert to finish a lovely dinner! I'm so happy I can make this! I don't like to play with fire!!
That seems a very cool and easy-to-make dessert! Would try it for the party nextweek.
A fantastic recipe, thanks for sharing. A lovely twist on using the good old banana.
We do this with agave syrup instead of brown sugar and a bit of cayenne. The heat is awesome and fabulously cooled off by the ice cream.
Agave syrup sounds like a great substitute! I'd love to try that.

Q: Hawaiian earring is not a cofibration Let $X$ be the union of all circles centered at $(0,\frac{1}{n})$ with radius $\frac{1}{n}$ for $n\in N$. Let $A$ be $(0,0)$. Show that $A\to X$ is not a cofibration.
This appears as a non-example for inclusion != cofibration. However I am not able to show it.

A: Hint:  The inclusion $i\colon A\hookrightarrow X$ is a cofibration if and only if $M(i)$ is a retract of $X\times I$, where $M(i)$ is the mapping cylinder $(X\times\{0\})\cup(A\times I)$.
Consider the implications of such a continuous retract existing for the inclusion of the base point into the Hawaiian earrings, and in particular that the existence of such a map gives a contradiction. (Don't be afraid to get down and dirty with open sets - these spaces all embed nicely into $\mathbb{R}^3$ so your intuition should be used as much as possible.)

« Graduation Rate Hits Record High of 83.2 Percent: Should Obama Take Credit? | Main | Which States Have Seen the Most Progress (or None at All) on Graduation Rates? »
Could the Next Education Secretary Be From the Higher Education World?
By Alyson Klein on October 18, 2016 7:38 AM
So far, nearly every U.S. Secretary of Education came into the job with a long record in K-12 policy. But, if Hillary Clinton is elected president, she may break with that longstanding tradition.
No, you didn't miss an announcement from the Clinton campaign, which is busy trying to win the election, not pick its cabinet.
But there are a lot more names of college presidents or university system leaders in the rumor mill on the Democratic side than there have been in past years. (More on just who later down.)
That's partly because Clinton has spent way more of her time on the campaign trail talking about higher education access and affordability, which was a signature issue for her rival for the Democratic nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
Clinton even revamped her college-cost proposal to better match Sanders' pitch. Her plan would offer free tuition at public universities for students from families that make less than $125,000 a year. (Everything you ever wanted to know about Clinton's education proposals and how they compare to GOP nominee Donald Trump's here.)
Clinton's proposal would amount to a "very expensive operation," said Marshall "Mike" Smith, who has served in the department under three different presidents, including as acting deputy secretary under President Bill Clinton. "It might be easier for a well-known college president to carry the load on that in Congress."
There are plenty of political vehicles for a new higher education proposal. Reauthorizations of the Higher Education Act and the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education program are still pending, while congressional lawmakers passed the Every Student Succeeds Act last year and probably won't engage on K-12 in a big way for a while.
Plus, there's "a need for a good solid debate about the purpose of postsecondary education, the cost of postsecondary education," said Jack Jennings, who served as an aide to Democrats on Capitol Hill for nearly three decades. A secretary with a postsecondary background could help lead that debate, he said.
What's more, ESSA sought to rein in the secretary of education when it comes to a lot of the flashier K-12 issues, including teacher evaluations, standards, turnarounds, and more. But the secretary still has as much running room as ever when it comes to higher education.
"The decision has been made in elementary and secondary that the feds will not take much of a role for a while," Jennings said. "It would be prudent for the federal government to step back a little and let states and school districts go ahead and do what they can."
And, not insignificantly, there a lot of issues in K-12 that tend to divide Democrats, including charter schools, testing, and teacher evaluation. Higher education access, though, is a lot less politically dicey. It could be pretty easy to get much of the education community behind a postsecondary pick who doesn't have much of track record in K-12.
Still, a secretary from the higher education world could result in a bigger role on K-12 for other high-level folks at the department (the deputy secretary, the undersecretary, the assistant secretaries of planning, evaluation, and policy, or the assistant secretary of elementary and secondary education).
And it would be a significant departure from past picks. The last four secretaries—Rod Paige, Margaret Spellings, Arne Duncan, and John B. King Jr.—all had big K-12 backgrounds. (Paige and Duncan were district superintendents, of Houston and Chicago, respectively. King was the state chief in New York, and Spellings had been a top White House adviser on K-12 issues. She also advised President George W. Bush on K-12 when he was governor of Texas.)
And the two secretaries before that were governors who had been very active on K-12 issues. (Richard Riley of South Carolina served under President Bill Clinton, and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee served under President George H.W. Bush.) In fact, you have to go all the way back to Lauro F. Cavazos, the former president of Texas Tech University, who served in both the Reagan and first Bush administrations, to find a secretary who came from the higher education world.
So would a secretary from higher education mean K-12 would be just an afterthought at the department? Don't bet on it, Jennings said.
"You can't ignore K-12," he said. For instance, the next secretary and his or her team will have to turn pretty quick to approving—or rejecting—state's ESSA plans, which are due as early as March or as late as next summer.
College Presidents to Watch
Some college presidents who folks have suggested might make a good secretary of education include: Mike Crow, the president of Arizona State University; Janet Napolitano, the president of the University of California system (and a former Secretary of Homeland Security, and governor of Arizona); Nancy Zimpher, the New York state higher education system chancellor; Eduardo Padron, the president of Miami Dade Community College; and Freeman A. Hrabowski III, the president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, who chaired President Barack Obama's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for African Americans.
To be sure, there are still plenty of K-12 names in the mix. Many folks are guessing that if elected Clinton could go the same route her husband did with Riley and pick a current or former governor (Gov. Jack Markell of Delaware, former Gov. Howard Dean of Vermont, Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado, former Gov. Jennifer Granholm of Michigan, and more.)
And others are betting she'd choose someone else from the K-12 world, like Denise Juneau, who is running for Congress and is currently Montana's state superintendent, or Kaya Henderson, the former District of Columbia public schools chancellor. (Henderson's has said she's not interested in the gig.) More here.
Would Trump, if elected, also pick someone from the higher education world? It's tough to say. Trump has been a lot more vocal on school choice than on any other education issue. Presumably his secretary would share his views on that. A Trump advisor, Sam Clovis, said he wants student loans to originate with banks, not the federal government. More here.


A national study has been looking to address the need of improving freight data collection and visibility.
An unprecedented national picture of Australia's freight and logistics supply chain could be on the horizon.
The team behind a study into the data needed to improve operations and planning in the freight transport sector says it has identified the needs of a wide range of stakeholders – from all levels of government to regulators and operators in all modes of transport.
Just before Christmas the Commonwealth announced that iMOVE, a consortium of 44 industry, government, and research partners, would lead the study into freight data to inform the new National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy.
The study also reflects the need for freight data to be made more available and shared, said transport minister Michael McCormack.
While data has long been a sore point in the freight and logistics industry, and there previously have been numerous inquiries into data collection and use, Mr Christensen said the new strategy provided a powerful impetus for the latest project.
"This whole study is driven by the aspiration, shared by government and industry, to develop a national freight and supply chain strategy. That then gives us hope that we'll also get some national guidance around the collection and dissemination of freight data," he told Government News.
The study has undertaken a range of outreach initiatives, including an online survey, telephone interviews and focus groups, he says.
Stakeholders reported a sense of frustration about an inability to access data, and the study probed the main perceived data gaps as well as possible ways to address them.
It examined the "information flow" that operators and other stakeholders are seeking, the types of information groups feel they need and what data they are willing to share, he said.
Local government was among the stakeholders who have engaged in the process, with many raising the first and last mile issue as well as delivery congestion in their areas, Mr Christensen said.
In May last year the state and federal governments agreed on a framework for developing a 20-year national Freight and Supply Chain Strategy.
It followed the recommendations from the Inquiry into National Freight and Supply Chain Priorities.

History or Art?
Susan Moldenhauer "Exploring the Dark Side: Symphony 2017" archival pigment photograph
September 4, 2018 by Dannine Donaho & Camellia El-Antably Leave a Comment
Sequencing through Time and Place: The Carissa Mine is a pair of complementary exhibits of new work by Susan Moldenhauer, Margaret Wilson and Wendy Lemen Bredehoft, all of Laramie. Both have a light, medium and dark side. From there, the similarities end. There is no overlap of work between the two concurrent exhibits at the Lander Art Center and University of Wyoming Visual Arts Building, and the two exhibits are conceptually different. The University exhibit is about the place itself, the structure and the machines. The Lander exhibit is about the humans, what happened, their hand tools and the things they wore.
This is the latest effort of the trio, who have worked together for several years in various sites around the world. Bredehoft and Moldenhauer commented that this experience was somewhat different than others in that the artists worked more separately than usual — both on site and afterwards. Thus they were intrigued by the consistent themes in their three bodies of work and sought to exploit them in curating these exhibitions.
In keeping with the artists' collaboration, Studio Wyoming Review considered the Laramie and Lander exhibits separately with two different reviewers and presentented their impressions together.
History or Art? The Lander exhibit by Danine Donaho
An 1868 mining claim became what we now know as the Carissa Mine — a booming gold interest that employed much of South Pass City.
Before viewing Sequencing through Time and Place, I wondered if this upcoming exhibition at the Lander Art Center would be laden with blurry old photographs and wordy interpretive signs telling us the history of the mine. Despite the lack of these elements I did learn some history, but through a much more effective medium: artwork.
As a student, history never really appealed to me. But no history class I ever took offered interpretive dance, mixed media assemblage, and black and white photography as mechanisms for understanding the past. This exhibition offers the viewer all three.
During the opening reception at the Lander Art Center on July 20th, Margaret Wilson, accompanied by flutist Rod Garnett, performed an interpretive dance composed of movements that reflected the work done by the miners, such as hauling heavy loads and moving through or under things. Videos included in the exhibition offered clues to help the viewer identify these movements. My favorite video "Loft Spirit 2016/18" showed Wilson fading in and out of an elevated space in the mill house, ghostlike. Another video, titled "Finding Things," showed Wilson bending gracefully to pick something up from the ground.

As a Wyoming resident of more than 20 years, I am very familiar with the notion of finding things. I have found old tin cans and shoes near Foxpark. I have found tobacco cans, dog tags and childrens' toys in the walls of old structures we have remodeled. Our home retains a collection of metal parts and antique tools from our old family ranch in Evanston.
I think part of the intrigue in finding these old things lies in the connection to the person who might have lost or left them behind. The notion is that other people were here once, as suggested by the ghostlike video and the repetition of the movements of miners in Wilson's dance.
Wendy Bredehoft also focuses on this idea with the title of her works, "Remnants 5."

Bredehoft's assemblages are created from mining remnants — pieces of metal, rope, leather, clothing, bottles and wood that were left behind at the close of the Carissa Mine. Natural brown and grey hues make up the color palette. The pieces start at an intimate ten-inch square. Although Bredehoft's artwork hangs on the walls, protruding elements add a three-dimensional quality. These rough surfaces refer to the miners as do the tools necessary to handle the artwork: work gloves.
Susan Moldenhauer, the third artist in the group, uses her black and white photographs to call our attention to the play of light on found objects. Her repeated title "Illuminance" reinforces the shift of where the artist's, and viewer's, attention is directed. Value and contrast play an important role allowing for the capture of minute details. Moldenhauer's photographs encourage us to look closely, showing us geometric lines of the buildings, textures of dripping paint, exposed insulation, wrinkles in an old glove. Another part of this intrigue in finding things is in the physical signs of the passage of time. The decomposition. The brokenness. The idea that an item had a life before it was found. So many things happen with the passage of time, but we never really see them happen. Suddenly the rust is there. Suddenly the paint has peeled. Click. Moldenhauer freezes this moment in time, illuminating. We see it. And we understand that time has passed.

Inextricably, the notion of finding things is at the epicenter of a mine. A mine is built to find things; the verb mine means to dig something up. During a conversation I had with Wilson at the reception, she expressed a strong resolve for her art to make a connection to the past. The symbolism of using the platform of a historical mine to make this connection is not lost on me.
Noted also are two fundamental aspects of the exhibition. First, the simple principle of three voices coming together. There is something special about three voices. Three voices have incredible potential for harmony and I admire these artists for their awareness of this. Second, it is notable that these voices are all female, working with the subject of a traditionally male industry — mining. Could it be that the feminine vision is the reason this history lesson was so interesting to me?
Absorbing Place: The Laramie exhibit by Camellia El Antably
One of the things I love about Wyoming, as a transplant, is the sense of history all around. As I've traveled across the state, I was invited by the many excellent signs to learn more. However, rarely have I taken the time to truly explore. So it is with South Pass City. I know it is an important historic site and has to do with the pioneers and mining. I drive by and think I really need to go there sometime but sometime hasn't shown up in 15 years. Viewing the Sequencing through Time and Place: The Carissa Mine exhibit in Laramie reminds me that a visit is overdue, although now I feel like I already know the place intimately because of these three artists' work. Through three very different, and yet completely congruent mediums, I have gained an appreciation for this space.
Susan Moldenhauer's black and white photography provide perhaps the most accessible entry point. Susan combines beautifully lit shots of the building that illuminate the beauty of a structure built solely for utility. The graceful lines of the wood remind one of the dedication to quality of earlier times. Paired with these are images that are at first confusing to the eye. From the stark simplicity of the buildings, these images appear dark and complicated.

Yet, as one gazes at it, the eye begins to sort out the repetition of shape and pattern. You see snapshots of tools and of interesting variations of wood. One makes me think immediately of books on a shelf. When I look closer I realize it might be pipes, or something else workmanlike. For Moldenhauer, these images capture the incredible repetition inherent in mining: the movements and sounds of the machines and men.
Margaret Wilson's video "Effort — The Light Side" echoes the sense of repetition. The video starts with the building washed in color. Then it fades to black and white and Wilson suddenly appears to the back of the frame. The hard, repetitive movements put one in mind immediately of a man with a sledgehammer, or the machines which were so much a part of mining. This is the only video with these kinds of movements; the rest emphasize a sense of the place and the ghosts who may haunt it. All the videos point out the beauty and sinister undertones of the place. "Cyanide 2017/18" shows Wilson, dressed in white, suspended from the trestle, spinning under her own and the wind's power against a sky full of puffy white clouds, a stark landscape and a rusting building. A gauzy white scarf moves with her, increasing the sense of unreality, as does the distance. At first, the viewer is not quite sure what they are seeing. Included in the video are words that signify the very toxic chemicals used in the mining process, which left their mark upon the place and the people. For all its beauty, the Carissa Mine surely caused humans much pain and suffering.
Margaret Wilson "Effort – The Light Side" video, 2017/18 from WyoFile on Vimeo.
Rust and decay are showcased in all their rough beauty within Wendy Lemen Bredehoft's contributions to the show. Perhaps the most abstract of the three, Bredehoft incorporates rusted metal, an old window, nails and springs and coils and chains into her pieces. Her work falls into two related categories, as does Moldenhauer's.Two pieces are clearly assemblage using found objects (note that none of the objects came from the Carissa Mine itself, which is a protected historic site). I found "Transition" to be the most intriguing of these, as I began to wonder what some of the materials were for. On closer examination, I discovered that one piece in each rough box was painted gold in a nod to the metal which was mined at the Carissa. The others use found objects almost like paint, as a medium for creating the final work. Each is gorgeous and intriguing, but "Float" caught me immediately. I didn't know what it was, and there was no title (the gallery is free of labels, but an object list is available). I flashed right away to my childhood in Washington with the sea lapping at the edge of the land. The metal lines and wood to the side made me think of marinas and boat building. I love that a piece of art can engender such a sharp response. The piece references a tool called a shaker table, which was used by miners to extract the last tiny bits of metal from the ore through water and vibration.
Wendy Lemen Bredehoft "Treasures" wood, found objects (faucet handles, tubing), gold leaf, 2018
The more I think about the exhibition, I see subtexts and layers of meaning. One subtle undertone in the exhibition is the chemicals. Moldenhauer includes an image with photos of old labeled containers. Bredehoft alludes to them through the decay and change to the materials in her pieces. Wilson works them into her video pieces. Then there's the echoes of the place as it once was, and the views of it now. Another might be mining in our world today as seen through the remnants of an earlier mine site. Collaboration is another important, and unseen, subtext. The rich experience of the exhibit would be immeasurably changed if one of the three were not part of it as the artwork plays off each other. Whatever you perceive in the work, it is an opportunity to consider anew the importance of the Carissa Mine in the past and in the future.
Sequencing Through Time and Place, The Carissa Mine will remain on display through Sept. 14 at the University of Wyoming Visual Arts Building Gallery. The closing reception, which will include a performance by Margaret Wilson and guest musician Rod Garnett, as well as an artist talk about the exhibition, will take place Sept. 7 at the Visual Arts Building Gallery from 6-8 PM. The reception is free and open to the public.

When the Academy Awards shortlist was announced yesterday, one nomination was notable by its absence: Uggie, for The Artist. Despite Steven Spielberg's endorsement of Oscars for animals in the wake of the Jack Russell's recent stellar performance in the silent movie, the dog's performance went unrecognised.
To put the record straight, here's our shortlist of creatures that deserve to be in the reckoning for a golden statuette this year . . .

.Montgomery County Man With Rare Cancer Honored as NIH Fundraising Force
Montgomery County Man With Rare Cancer Honored as NIH Fundraising Force
Andrew Lee uses his dream car to raise money to research rare cancers
By Andrew Metcalf Follow @ajwatchmd
| Published: 2017-12-30 13:32
Comptroller Peter Franchot, Jennie Luca, Andrew Lee and Dr. Marston Linehan in front of the Driven to Cure Nissan GT-R at the National Institutes of Health Friday
Andrew Lee knows how to make an entrance.
As politicians, researchers and business people mingled at the Children's Inn at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Friday morning, the roar of an exhaust could be heard through the windows of the meeting room.
Before you saw Lee, you could hear his car coming. Heads turned to the parking lot as the bright orange 2015 Nissan GT-R pulled across several parking spaces in front of the meeting room's windows.
Lee emerged with a smile. The 22-year-old former Kensington resident, who now lives in Silver Spring, has proven to be a fundraising force for NIH, the cutting-edge medical research center in Bethesda.
Last year, he presented a check for $200,000 to the research center's foundation. Since then, he said, he's raised about $150,000 more. He was back at NIH—where he receives regular treatment for a rare form of kidney cancer as part of a medical trial—to be presented with the William Donald Schaefer Helping People Award by Comptroller Peter Franchot.
Lee is the president and CEO of Driven to Cure, a charity he started with the help of his father, Bruce Lee, after being diagnosed with stage 4 Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Cancer when he was 19.
The rare form of genetic kidney cancer has been reported in about 100 families worldwide. Dr. Marston Linehan, who has studied the cancer since 1982, described it Friday as "one of the most aggressive types of kidney cancer."
Despite this, Andrew Lee has found a passion in fundraising by coupling it with his other passion—cars. Lee's parents bought him the Nissan GTR, a high-end sports car that retails for more than $100,000, after he received the diagnosis. It was his dream car.
And while Lee drives the 700-horsepower vehicle to help escape daily life, he's also turned it into a potent fundraising tool at car shows. He has signed up auto parts manufacturers, high-end car tuners and, lately, regional businesses to support his fundraising efforts for cancer research.
Driven to Cure was formed to raise money for rare kidney cancer research, but given its growing success, Lee is broadening its mission to raise money for all forms of rare cancer.
On Friday, Franchot noted that the Schaefer Award is given to state residents who help the community, aid the vulnerable and work to improve the lives of Marylanders. It's named after the former Maryland governor and Baltimore mayor.
Franchot said Friday that Lee embodies Schaefer's spirit of public service.
"You're doing something, as you put it, that is bigger than yourself," Franchot said to Lee. "It's very cool and it's very effective."
Jennie Luca, the CEO of the Children's Inn, described Lee as a role model to others being treated at the center.
"Andrew serves as a real-life superhero to the children we have at the Inn," Luca said.
She said NIH has provided him with treatment and assistance in raising money, but he's been able to grow the charity into something that will ultimately help NIH even more.
Montgomery County Council member Nancy Floreen described Lee as a "beacon" for people facing adversity.
"Your strength, your courage is an inspiration," Floreen said. "You're really the king of cool."
Lee, a graduate of Georgetown Prep High School, took the compliments in stride.
"You start a nonprofit because it's something you're passionate about," Lee said. "You never think you're going to win an award. It's seriously motivating for the future. I'm really excited about 2018."
He said his health outlook is "always unknown," but since resuming treatment in September at NIH, his tumor has gotten smaller.
He had to take a break from fundraising from July to September because his condition worsened, he said. But, his current treatment doesn't have side effects.
"I see people in much worse situations than myself," Lee said. "I'm not going to complain."
Linehan said the research into the cancer Lee and others have could provide insights into other types of cancer because it requires understanding the genes that cause it. That could lead to the development of targeted gene therapies for other forms of cancers.
"This is a very, very important type of cancer," Linehan said. "If it weren't for these brave faces working with us at NIH, we would have made no progress."
Outside the meeting room, Lee gave Franchot a tour of the car and showed off its after-market parts, such as a wide-body kit, seats stitched by hand with an orange cancer ribbon by his friend and the bright orange paint job—a custom color made for Lee's car by the paint company BASF. Orange is the color chosen by the kidney cancer awareness movement.
Representatives of sponsors such as the OC Car Show and Jersey Mike's Subs were on hand with big checks totaling more than $7,500 in donations.
Lee said running the charity has turned into his full-time job, but he hasn't taken a break from the road. He's racked up about 20,000 miles on the car, driving it around the county and traveling to area car shows.
"It's not a garage queen," Lee said.
After making a noticeable entrance, Lee wasn't in a hurry to leave Friday. He stuck around talking to friends and family and had a long discussion with the father of a patient at the Inn, who said his own child is a sports car fan. Lee and the man exchanged numbers and Lee said he would take the child for a ride.
Driven to Cure accepts donations on its website.

Ariana Grande's Donut Licking Incident Seriously Upset Fox News
Very few would argue against the lickability of donuts: with such a panoply of flavors and glazes, they are an undeniably seductive snack — and a recently leaked video, seemingly of Ariana Grande surreptitiously licking donuts (that weren't rightfully hers!) in a shop corroborates this notion. But was such a gesture actually a win for donuts, or, as the Right would hilariously have it, a subtle attack on the pastry as a synecdoche for America, which she also stated in the video that she "hates?" And so the silliest news story of the week actually seems to be getting the pop star in some trouble, while simultaneously exposing the franticness of the Right to condemn anyone who seems "unpatriotic."
The Associated Press reports that police in Lake Elsinore (where the incident took place), alongside Riverside County public health officials, are now investigating the video — which was originally posted on TMZ. The cashier who was on duty at the time has stated that Grande didn't pay for the saliva-besmirched donuts in question; she told the AP that Grande "was really rude."
The Right is especially upset because of the aforementioned prelude to the donut-licking, in which Grande told the friend she was with, "I hate America." To Fox & Friends (which airs on Fox News), for example, this seemingly suggested that the whole incident was a micro-attack on patriotism via the defiling of the patriotically diabetes-inducing pastry.
Since the incident went public, Grande released an apology via BuzzFeed, stating:
I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American and I've always made it clear that I love my country. What I said in a private moment with my friend, who was buying the donuts, was taken out of context and I am sorry for not using more discretion with my choice of words.
She went on to discuss childhood obesity in America:
I sometimes get upset by how freely we as Americans eat and consume things without giving any thought to the consequences that it has on our health and society as a whole. The fact that the United States has the highest child obesity rate in the world frustrates me. We need to do more to educate ourselves and our children about the dangers of overeating and the poison that we put into our bodies. We need to demand more from our food industry.
In perhaps the funniest and saddest thing you'll see all day, Fox News shared a video clip from Fox & Friends labeled "Why are young Americans not as patriotic?" which, with utmost gravity, tries to scrutinize the act and pinpoint what they see as its nefarious origins. It reaches its ridiculous apotheosis when they bring American soldier/host of the hunting show Limitless with Theresa Vail — Theresa Vail — in to comment, and she goes on to blame Obama for, let's recall, a pop star licking donuts.
Fox & Friends:
Theresa, how could someone who grows up in Florida, was a childhood star, is now a popstar/actress/voiceover person, her life is great, walk into a donut shop — the donuts didn't come to her! — and then comment about America, and yet you grew up in America, have a totally different vide. How does that happen?!
Theresa Vail:
I can speculate…for the past 6 or 7 years, and that's a good chunk of a millennial's adult lifetime, we've had a president who doesn't believe in American exceptionalism, he doesn't speak up for American values or the foundation that this country was built on, so can you blame millennials for their modicum of patriotism when for the majority of our adult lifetime, we haven't witnessed anything to make us think differently.
That's a point I hadn't thought about…

In 2014, the U.S. Division of Training and the U.S. Division of Justice issued a widely publicized joint report, entitled Nondiscriminatory Administration of Faculty Discipline, that summarized racial disparities in suspensions and expulsions; no data had been offered on corporal punishment, and the one mention of corporal punishment was a short comment that it has the potential for use in a discriminatory vogue ( U.S. Department of Education and U.S. Division of Justice, 2014 ). In an accompanying guiding ideas document issued by the U.S. Division of Training (2014) , corporal punishment was not mentioned a single time.
We end the report by summarizing sources of concern about college corporal punishment and the way forward for public insurance policies associated to the follow, reviewing state policies associated to high school corporal punishment, and discussing the future of college corporal punishment in state and federal coverage.
The search for a exact definition of punishment that exercised some philosophers (for discussion and references see Scheid 1980) is likely to prove futile: however we can say that authorized punishment involves the imposition of one thing that … Read More
From Crime To Punishment
Recognizing that acts of violence are repugnant wherever they occur, and that societal emphasis at present calls for the protection of particular person human rights, and that faculties ought to provide an setting conducive to learning and to the development of self-self-discipline by way of the democratic course of; the Schooling Commission moved that the Nationwide PTA embark upon a program of education and data relating to the problem of corporal punishment; its utilization, effectiveness, and alternatives. The good news is you can maintain limits and guide youngsters, without punishments. In subsequent free-play periods, those that had received rewards for their artwork progressively became less curious about drawing, and once they did draw, they spent much less time on their artwork than the children who hadn't acquired rewards.

I noticed that the schematic shows that the CBT offers an easy way to terminate the CAN bus when necessary, by shorting what looks like a solder pad to place a 120 Ohm resistor between CAN Hi and CAN Lo. While this method should suffice for most applications, everyone should be aware that there are other termination methods and some good reasons to use them that I will try to describe here.
The higher the bus speed the more important proper termination is to bus integrity. The entire bus topology needs to be considered before some of the more obscure termination methods are deployed. Remember that some buses you may want to tap into send safety critical information from one ECU to another that can affect the safe and reliable operation of the vehicle.
Termination is probably needed at the CBT when the CBT is the end node on a CAN bus, which will be normal when bridging (severing a CAN bus) and probably not very normal when just monitoring. The normal topology is that the bus is a daisy chain, meaning that it goes from ECU to ECU to ECU to ECU, with the ECUs that are serving as endpoints on the daisy chain requiring termination and all the ECUs in the middle generally requiring no termination. Of course like all rules, these rules are often broken to save cost or for practical convenience, especially for test tools that don't remain on the bus for long periods of time. By "daisy chain", it means that the 2 CAN wires are continuous from one end to the other, with no splices, tributaries, "T" connections or stubs.
This is why many ECUs have the same CAN bus on two different sets of pins, to avoid having more than one wire per pin (weather proof connectors don't allow more than one wire per terminal) and to allow the ECU to make the daisy chain connection internally with as short of an internal "stub" as possible. However, sometimes a short stub is impossible to avoid, like when connecting the CBT to an existing bus for bus monitoring. Even if you connect the CBT to an existing bus to monitor it by tapping into the bus wires, a "T" connection is made where you splice in and the stub is the length between your splice point and the bus transceiver internal to the CBT. I would keep that distance less than 6 inches at 500 kbps and higher as a general rule of thumb.
If the bus speed is 500kbps or higher, you'll also want to pay good attention to termination requirements. At 1Mbps this becomes critical. Thankfully, most CAN buses are 500 kbps or slower. When a stub can't be avoided it can be acceptable to use what is known as weak termination. This is a value of resistance much higher than 120 Ohms, but I'll not get into why that is here unless someone asks. You can read about it at the following link though if you'd like.
What is important for all of us to know is that a more common termination method these days in automotive is called "split termination". This is when the 120 Ohm terminator is split into two 60 Ohm resistors placed in series and a capacitor goes from the resistor-to-resistor junction to CAN ground. This will minimize the noise that the CBT can inflict on the CAN bus, and can make the connection more reliable for the CBT when a lot of noise is present. This is an EMC concern.
To address other EMC concerns, it is also common to add additional capacitors as filters and a common mode choke. I have seen split termination and common mode chokes solve huge problems in certain cases, such as in a hybrid or electric vehicle where high voltage is present.
Here is a depiction of split termination, the common mode choke, filter capacitance, and ESD protection. I can envision making an add-on board that does this for the current CBT, and any future iteration of the CBT having some or all of those components built-in and the split termination similarly selectable as the single terminator is now. These parts need to be as close to the CAN transceiver as possible, hence why making them part of the main PCB design is preferred.
Great write up, thanks Tommy!


Finland's chilly temperatures this summer have inspired many to talk about global warming. They've called it off, the typical joke goes. Obviously, they have not. While us Helsinkians needed to resort to our spring jackets in June, globally it was the fourth-warmest June in 137 years of modern record-keeping.
The wait for warmer summer days has made me focus on this topic, too. Well, truthfully, I've thought about it a lot since last September. I was then invited to an urban policy forum in Yekaterinburg, Russia, to share some ideas how Finnish cities are making themselves outdoorsy and more livable in winter despite freezing temperatures and endless piles of snow.
A runaway Christmas tree on New Year's Eve 2016 at Kauppi Sports Park, Tampere.
While drafting my presentation, it hit me that the ideas I was going to offer were mostly things we have been doing in the past. But not so much anymore. The cold and icy winter, at least in the southern parts of Finland, has slowly disappeared.
It's understandable that the image foreigners have about Finland will alter sluggishly. But disturbing when similar thoughts drive local planning discussions right here. No matter if we've agreed to ambitious actions for climate change mitigation, ranging from clean energy to low-carbon construction, just whisper "walkability" and someone is bound to ensure you a quick return from utopia: "Are you crazy? There are just two months in the year when people can walk or bike!".
Helsinkians out for Sunday lunch in March.
It doesn't stop there. Real estate developers will sell their shopping malls promising an "escape from the harsh climate". And public authorities resort to regulations that are based on calendar dates before anything else.
Contrary to popular belief, people do spend time outside in winter when there's something to do. In the future, even more so. This is from December 2016 at Helsinki's Narinkkatori.
I wonder if these folks ever go outside. Climate change is already affecting people's lives in so many ways that we shouldn't just focus on introducing a fleet of automated electric cars, but also attend to the less exciting things that directly or indirectly influence urban happiness.
Some of these are related to saving traditional winter-time activities that have served as cornerstones for community-building, others concern emerging initiatives and trends for making cities more enjoyable in the age of a milder climate.
Ice hockey has long been a favorite winter pastime across the nation. Growing up in the suburbs of the Finnish capital for ice hockey, Tampere, I also spent countless hours at the local outdoor hockey rink. Either playing, only skating or just hanging out as everyone from the 'burb was there anyways. These days I play ice hockey in Helsinki. We have organized an active pool of people to play with, but you wouldn't really have to. The outdoor rinks are magically communal places where people connect with strangers for the joy of playing.
When I was a kid this hockey rink was the the main wintry attraction in my suburb. You could also sign up to practice and play in a team. Those days are now long gone. Photo taken on Christmas Day 2016.
But all this is now endangered. The winters are so warm that making ice has become nearly impossible. The vibrancy of my childhood rink is now just a memory. Skating days have dropped dramatically and today you'll more often find sad puddles of water rather than beautiful smooth ice. And this is rather deep inland.
Kallio's ice rink is one of the spots I play hockey in nowadays. The city always plans to open it at the end of November, but usually they can't until sometime in December. The season ends at the end of February and, as in the photo, towards the end of March people are already preparing for the football season.
At the coast, natural ice is even more scarce – if not completely a thing of the past by now. Helsinki's few open outdoor rinks are refrigerated. Sometimes even this type of ice-making is impossible (or too expensive) and the outdoor hockey season can get slashed down to just 2,5 months.
This is the only open ski track in Tampere's Kauppi Sports Park on New Year's Eve. It looks like the bigger cities will be only places that offer cross-country skiing in the Southern parts of Finland in the near future. Making ski tracks in warm weather is not cheap.
Same story for other recreational winter activities. We used to have a municipal cross-country ski track run right by our house, but it has become a rare sight. I believe last winter the track couldn't be done at all. These days cross-country skiers in the southern parts of Finland need to resort to tracks made with snow cannons. That's the same strategy used to support alpine skiing for a long time now. There are still slopes in the south of the country to serve urbanites, but these tiny ski centers are struggling to survive by offering just skiing and snowboarding.
The disappearing winter is not a worry only for those into winter sports. It also affects other cultural institutions, like kids' possibilities to go sledding. It's hard to think of a more common winter activity to do with friends and family in Finland.
Last Christmas holiday season families in Tampere had to think of other activities than go sledding.
Or how about a full Finnish winter time sauna experience including some rolling in the snow or a dip into a hole in the ice? No problem with the sauna, but the snow and ice bits are fading to luxury experiences. Ice fishing near urban waterfronts is also on the list of activities facing an increasingly shorter season and, ultimately, extinction.
The list could go on, but the point is that climate change has indeed crept in to alter things we've used to take for granted. The good part is they're making people think about climate change more than any lecture on the Paris Agreement could.
Yet, the damage presents a serious challenge for urban policy-makers: coming up with environmentally sustainable solutions for keeping our wintry traditions going because of their important role in creating a sense of community and increasing happiness.
I'm hardly a tech fan, but this is one problem where technological innovation is necessarily part of the solution. Others are already experimenting: Canada for ice hockey and Norway for skiing.
The truth is, even if we manage to avoid global warming's worst-case scenarios, there's no return to the climate we had before. So, it's also smart to begin adapting. Parallel to breathing life into the slowly declining winter traditions, the changing climate also offers cities new opportunities to increase social interaction and help bridge the gap.
Helsinki got a new bikeshare system last year. It functions from May to the end of October. This photo from early April 2016 on the installation work shows there's little reason to wait until May.
For example cycling, despite always getting bad rap due to our "incompatible climate", is now easier than ever. The city of Mikkeli offers us an illuminating example from the last two winters: their plans for experimenting with new methods of clearing snow and ice to support increasingly popular winter cycling have melted away with too little snow and ice to even begin with.
Moving around on bikes not only helps fight climate change, but also has a positive impact on sociability. Cycling has become significantly more popular in recent years, partly thanks to cities finally catching up with investing into bikeways. We mustn't forget to design them specifically with socializing in mind.
Skateboarding and playground fun in action last March.
As with cycling, also the season for walking and lingering outdoors comfortably is extending. Conventionally many (Finns) like to think that after the summer months people just stay at home or resort to seeking refuge from the terrible weather in one of the ubiquitous shopping malls. Partly thanks to these attitudes, planning for life on streets and plazas has received very little attention. Climate change is now working towards breaking the stubborn myth about our outdoor inactivity.
For example, many cities issue outdoor seating permits to restaurants and bars from April through September or October. If you'd like to keep your bar's outdoor seating available for longer, say until Christmas, you'll need to apply for a winter permit. This will cover every month until the end of March – even though the wintriness of November and December is getting all the time iffier. Adding some flexibility to this scheme could add up to having vibrant sidewalks for a longer period. And what about extending the season for different types of outdoor festivals our summers are packed with? The new Winter Solstice festival in Helsinki is already pioneering on this front.
Another emerging activity with a social edge is urban agriculture. Increased environmental awareness has been one of the main drivers behind this trend, but now extending growing seasons are helping make it even more popular and productive. Because of the activity's many positive traits, some cities, like Turku, are already adopting policies to encourage more people to get together and start growing their own food.
A warmer climate will open new avenues for experimenting with plants, like vine, that are known to foster a culture of togetherness. This Helsingin Sanomat news story is about an already existing wineyard near Helsinki.
Finally, the sauna is clearly also reclaiming its role as a social arena in the urban. Not so much because of climate change as general re-found interest for in-city living, but nonetheless, new types of sauna complexes coupled with restaurant and bar services (and other types of experiences like at wonderful Sompasauna) have started to emerge around city centers. These projects build on our long-standing sauna culture in ways that'll make them thrive no matter how the climate evolves. To increase the number of venues for togetherness, city managers should work to welcome more of them.
Löyly in Helsinki's Hernesaari is probably the best-known new-generation public sauna. There are more and the concept is catching on also in other cities. Photo: Wikimedia Commons/Roopeank (CC BY-SA 4.0).
I think we too often forget that climate change is not just melting polar ice caps, but it's also actively shaping our lives. These are some of many examples how we could nudge our urban policies to support community-building and make cities more enjoyable while we fight the big fight to level carbon emissions.
It's adios for the winter's-here-for-10-months attitudes.
Seriously good writing as always by Timo Hämäläinen!
You have good points! What I have been thinking it's not only we loose our white beautiful winter, it also means we got more grey, rainy days…and more fall storms. That's what will replace winter when it's warmer and that's depressive thought! It's maybe nice thought for us to have longer summer but it's not nice if we don't get snow which is lighting everything at winter. If we're now suffering darkness, it will be more dark in the future at winter.
It's very refreshing to read your article because the attitude of long winter in Finland that many people have annoys me.

Ranjit Jeyakodi, who has been basking in the success of Ispade Rajavum Idhaya Raniyum, speaks a lot about the cinema and his experiences with us. Ranjit says that when a happening impress or affects him, he gets a script out of that. He also feels bad for the Pollachi sexual harassment issue. Our society puts a lot of restriction on the girls and not the boys, says Ranjit. Not even 50% of the restrictions forced on the girls are thrown on the boys and this should be changed, says the director. The boys should be taught how to behave in society.
While speaking about his films, Ranjit says that he wants to direct all genre films including devotional and horror. But, his way of treatment will be different, says Ranjit. Watch his interview and share your views!


Pond plants such as water lilies with their large floating leaves provide the shade a pond needs to help prevent green algae and a murky pond. In our cold zone 4 area the pond freezes over and the plants die. After the pond thaws there are a few weeks when the pond is plant-free. Last year I made up this idea. I floated plastic plant coasters on the pond to simulate the shade of plants. The small birds can land of the coasters.
The dove is on a bit of ice. A week later the pond is totally thawed. I cleaned the pond and pulled out my 4 baskets of water lilies, fertilizing them.
The same morning this flicker took his turn at the pond.
The cedar waxwings are so social. You usually hear them before you see them. I have junipers loaded with blue juniper berries that these birds love. We have had 2 unusually warm weeks. Later I'll show you what we have been up to. Enjoy spring!
What a clever idea, and the birds seem to think your faux lily pads are fun too! I used to hate all the early season algae that would build up before the lilies leafed out in our last pond. I'll have to remember that tip if we build a pond here.
Great photos of the birds Gloria. I must clean my birdbath and get it set up by the feeders.


Vanilla Ice: Rapper, reality host, now burglar?
LANTANA, Fla. -- Robert Van Winkle, also known as rapper Vanilla Ice, was arrested Wednesday for his alleged role in a residential burglary in Florida, reports CBS Miami.
Van Winkle, who rose to fame in the 1990s as a rapper and is now a real estate flipper, was renovating the home next to the Lantana property that was burglarized sometime between December 2014 and February 2015, reports the station. Items including furniture, a pool heater, and bicycles were reportedly stolen from the home that's currently under foreslosure.
Van Winkle is a South Florida resident. The stolen items were discovered at a home connected to Van Winkle in Palm Beach County, reports the station.
The rapper and one-time reality television star was taken into custody after he voluntarily met with detectives at the Lantana Police Department to provide a sworn statement, according to CBS Miami. He's charged with burglary and grand theft.
The property was reportedly returned after the victim identified it.
According to the Associated Press, Van Winkle was released from custody later Wednesday after posting a $6,000 bond. He told TV station WPTV as he left the station that the situation was a "misunderstanding" that has been "blown out of proportion."

Six Degrees of Separation: from Sanditon to The Lambs of London
I love doing Six Degrees of Separation, a monthly link-up hosted by Kate at Books Are My Favourite and Best. Each month a book is chosen as a starting point and linked to six other books to form a chain. A book doesn't need to be connected to all the other books on the list, only to the one next to it in the chain.
This month the chain begins with December 7, 2019), we'll begin with Jane Austen's unfinished manuscript, Sanditon. I read this a few years ago and enjoyed it very much. It's the last fiction that Jane Austen wrote, beginning it in January 1817, the year she died. She was ill and the subject of health is one of its themes, but not in a serious or gloomy way. It has a lively, bright and humorous tone, with three of the characters being hypochondriacs, wonderfully satirised by Jane Austen.
My first thought was to link to The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Charles Dickens' unfinished novel. But I've already used it in an earlier Six Degrees post and I don't like to use the same book twice in these posts, so my first link is to Castle Dor, which Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch had started to write but had set aside unfinished before his death. His daughter asked Daphne du Maurier to finish it. It retells of the legend of the tragic lovers, Tristan and Isolde, transplanted in time and place to the early 1840s in Cornwall.
The Last Enchantment by Mary Stewart also retells a legend, that of King Arthur and Merlin. It's the third book of the Arthurian Saga, a book of myth and legend and about the conflict between good and evil.
My third link is King Arthur in King Arthur's Bones by the Medieval Murderers, a group of five authors, all members of the Crime Writers' Association. The book consists of five stories with a prologue and an epilogue tracing the mystery of Arthur's remains. The legend is that King Arthur is not dead, but sleeping with his knights ready to return to defend his country in a time of great danger. One of the stories is set in the 17th century involving William Shakespeare's brother Edmund who discovered a long thigh bone and a murder in the Tower of London in one of the compartments of the Lion Tower where the king kept lions and tigers.
Another of Shakespeare's brothers, Richard, appears in Fools and Mortals by Bernard Cornwell. It's 1595 and the players are rehearsing a new play, A Midsummer Night's Dream. Richard is longing to play a male role, but so far has only been given female roles. There is little brotherly love between the brothers and Richard is tempted to leave the Lord Chamberlain's Men when Langley, the producer at the Swan in Southwark offers him a job, providing he will steal two of William's new plays.
This brings me to Peter Ackroyd's Biography of Shakespeare. It is full of detail about the theatrical world, how the actors worked, about their patrons and managers, how Shakespeare interacted with other writers, and how his work was received by the public and the monarchy.
And so to my final link, another book by Peter Ackroyd, The Lambs of London, historical fiction based loosely on the lives of Mary and Charles Lamb. It also is a link to Shakespeare as Mary buys a book from William Ireland, an antiquarian, a book that it is said once belonged to Shakespeare.
My chain is linked by unfinished books, books about legends, Tristan and Isolde and King Arthur, about Shakespeare and his brothers and books by Peter Ackroyd. It includes both crime and historical fiction and a biography.
Next month ( 4 January 2020), we'll begin with Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid, a book I've never heard of before.

Almost all of us seem to have caught the unfinished bit, but very differently! Here's mine. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/12/07/6degrees-of-separation-for-december-7-2019/
This is really clever, Margaret! Both history and unfinished manuscripts play a role, and I find that fascinating. I see you have a Mary Stewart, too; I've read some of her work, but haven't thought of her in a while. It's nice to be reminded 🙂
whatcathyreadnext says:
I have a copy of Castle Dor on my bookshelf (as yet unread) and I knew Daphne du Maurier co-authored it but not that it was an unfinished novel that she completed.
stargazer says:
I like your historical theme this month. The Shakespeare biography sounds interesting, I always think about how different theatre was back then when I walk past the Globe Theatre in London
Ooh, what a good chain! I've only read (and enjoyed) Fools and Moratls but they all sound worthy of TBR space. 😀
Helen says:
I nearly started with The Mystery of Edwin Drood too, but I'd also used it in another chain recently so I picked something different instead. Castle Dor is on my TBR and I enjoyed both The Last Enchantment and Fools and Mortals. I actually just started reading Daisy Jones and the Six last night, so that should be helpful with next month's chain!
I didn't know Peter Ackroyd had written any fiction so will look up The Lambs of London as it sounds interesting.
I did start my chain with Edwin Drood! Castle Dor is interesting. I hadn't realised it was an unfinished work of Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch.
shelleyrae @ Book'd Out says:
An interesting chain, I'm broadly familiar with the subjects in these books, but not any of the books in particular.
Thanks for sharing your chain
Kate W says:
I haven't read any of the books in your chain (apart from Sanditon) but intrigued by the group of authors publishing King Arthur's Bones – I imagine a writing project like this would require a very particular mix of authors!
Simon T says:
What clever links! I love the idea of using Shakespeare's brothers.
