In the early 80's my Mother befriended an artist in Fort Wayne who had a store across the river from her apartment. He had a pointillist style of painting but the medium he chose was fabric not oil. Thousands of tiny fragments were used to compose his works. The shop was a combination studio and antiques emporium for him.
Besides the painting technique, his store's other unique quality was the simple, modern lines of much of the furniture. Indiana is rock red Republican conservative so you don't see too much of that communist inspired mid-century stuff. As we got to know him better he educated us on Dunbar furniture which was manufactured just 30 miles south in Berne, IN. That's where most of his furniture came from.
Berne is a small farming town comprised largely of Swiss Amish who still trade on the ancient arts of yodeling and cheese curdling to pull in the tourist bucks. But not all Swiss emigres were Amish and many were skilled furniture makers who Dunbar recruited to work in their factory.
From its inception around 1910 Dunbar made buggies and horse drawn carriages for the gentry class. With the advent of the automobile they transitioned into furniture with well constructed, play-it-safe bourgeois designs: mahogany curlicues, non-challenging Queen Anne redux, and ye oldie English Regency knockoffs. In the 30's and 40's, however, the younger artisans coming over wanted to try their hand at the art deco and moderne styles they'd been exposed to in Europe between the wars. They were allowed to experiment as kind of an after hours, extra credit type of assignment. What started as a sideline turned into a major production when Edward Wormley became Creative Director.
Under Wormley Dunbar was one of the leaders in mid-century design. Their biggest claim to fame was the Johnny Carson conical, swivel chair on The Tonight Show. He's had so many chairs through the years, though, I've never been exactly sure which one was Dunbar. Johnny's endorsement has more recently been eclipsed by Betty Draper Francis'.
The kings of camp product placement, Mad Men, officially anointed Dunbar in Season 3, Episode 7's "Seven Twenty Three." At approximately 2:23 Betty's decorator shows Don the orange "Dunbar Japanese-influenced sofa." In her tone-deaf, clueless but determined way Betty later adds the Victorian Fainting Couch where she she-bops thinking of her next husband. The Exquisite Taste Lady is horrified.
In my foray into antique sales this year, kitsch, camp and quality smaller items all have done well. Furniture, on the other hand, has done nothing. As one dealer explained, the local market will only buy furnishings at rock bottom prices. Which baffles me because on Palm Canyon's modern design strip items like mine are going for up to five times what I'm charging. And compared to the prices Dunbar pieces fetch on websites like 1stdibs, mine are going for a song. But no one is singing.
Still I continue to display my collection at Victoria's Attic in Rancho Mirage (at The Atrium, 69930 Highway 111). I'm also hawking it on Chairish and Craig's List. My hope is that someone will just write me a check for the whole collection so I can be done with it.


I have been on a Sabbatical. The short term, full-time job wiped me out. I have 2 days of subbing this week and then I think I may be done for awhile. There is some stirring in the district about a new school venture and I was asked to be aware that there may be a need for some consulting work in the near future so I want to get as many of my projects done as possible.
I just got SSitG back from the binder. My first green quilt. I love it! The quilter, Dawnell Muelke did a wonderful job and so did the binder, Marilyn Hersey. It will go up in the shop in March and I will get a picture of it on the wall.
My husband turned 70 this last weekend. He does not look his age. We went to a play, had 14 people in to play games and share Chinese food, had breakfast with some best friends and took him out to dinner last night-surf and turf. I also made him this cake on Saturday and booked a train trip to Seattle as a surprise for him. He was well birthdayed.
Chocolate cake, raspberry cream cheese filling, chocolate ganache (sp?) with a dark chocolate ribbon around the outside. It was really good!
Wow - you know how to celebrate birthdays! Enjoy your days sewing.
I really love your Irish Chain quilt! The green is perfect and lovely.

The Ruffian Duathlon Series.
Author: Iain & Fiona Lewis Published Date: April 17, 2020 Comments: 1 Comment
Malpas, Falmouth, UK 50 14.00 N 5 01.11 W
Everyone has their favourite activities. Some collect stamps, some spot trains, some like cycling, running and swimming. Some people like to combine activities such as those who collect stamps of trains and those who partake in triathlons. On Ruffian we like sailing, running and cycling. With sailing off the agenda we've taken to our own style of duathlon.
In preparation for the inaugural 'Ruffian Duathlon' we felt we ought to do some road bike training and so out came the trusty Bromptons. Iain has been used to satisfying his mid-life crisis by riding a Carbon Fibre Synapse 105, which weighs about as much as a grape and matches his Lycra kit to complete the middle-aged man in Lycra look. Fiona takes a slightly different approach to cycling where elegance and finesse top the bill, and she'd happily pedal along with a wicker basket out front and ribbons streaming in her hair.
With this slightly different approach to cycling off they went. Iain powered up every hill, tucking on the downs and standing in the pedals to coax the Brompton into the red. Fiona on the other had was having a lovely time listening to the birds, gazing at the ever-changing views as they swept past, waving at the very occasional car, and spotting rainbows posted up in windows.
Hearing a car approach from behind Iain decided he ought to whip to his Brompton into the red zone of its performance. Down went the power, up Iain rose on the pedals and then off went the chain. The Brompton bucked and Iain lurched off to the right, totally out of control and into the path of the approaching car. Thankfully it stopped and waited for Iain to pick himself up, but the Brompton had bitten and Iain was now the one seeing red; dripping down his elbow, knee and wrist. The limit of the Brompton had been found.
As the riding continued, now with the Brompton's limits being respected, we explored the more exclusive corners of Falmouth. We passed house after house where it seemed obligatory to have an SUV and 2-seater sports car parked outside and walls of glass making the uninterrupted views of the empty bay go on forever. The houses were devoid of people and no life could be seen anywhere; maybe they were out training too?
The following day dawned and it was now time for the big 'Ruffian Duathlon'. The plan was to cross the river on the ferry, climb some of the big hills in to the east of Falmouth, hike to a point and cross the finish line at the ferry. The hills proved to be beyond the Bromptons and their rider's capabilities; The Bromptons really enjoyed the push to the tops, Iain and Fiona less so. Once at the top, the views extended over the bay to the west and across to the channel in the east, in the sunshine England really is a green and pleasant land. With the first activity complete it was time for the hike.
In true Iain fashion, where walks usually consist of delights such as yellow fever cemeteries, local dumps and beaches covered in rotting seaweed (among notable favourites), it came as no surprise that we walked around fields devoid of any vegetation and through forests where the all the trees had been recently removed. This desolation did however lead to the most amazing shoreline where gentle waves lapped onto the rocks that were covered in oysters, whelks, mussels and cockles. A perfect place to rest mid duathlon for a grapefruit, absorb some sun and feel truly removed from the current Covid crisis.
The duathlon finish line was now calling, however this was a finish line with a twist, the finish line was for the final ferry of the day. If we missed the ferry, we'd either have a 30 mile bike ride (which neither of our bottoms could happily handle) or a swim across the river to Brock (which wasn't on the agenda as this wasn't a Triathlon). We'd loitered too long, tried to escape for too long and we'd whiled away too many precious moments.
Driving the Bromptons to theirlimits, but having been warned not to cross them, we careered down the final hill to the noise of chain being drawn through the ferry. Was this it arriving or leaving? Turning the final corner we heard the clang of the ramp hitting our side of the river and we scooted on in the nick of time. All however was not well.
In our haste at the beach Iain had neglected to pick up all our belongings. He'd left behind his brand new Gerber, at the low water mark, being touched by the lapping waves and caressed by the tiny stones that made up the beach. The next day he vowed to return and search for it.
The search and rescue mission gave rise to a duathlon rematch, but would the Gerber be present on our return or buried by stones or washed out to sea. Once again walking our bikes up the hills and walking through the fields of desolation our timing was perfect. There down on the beach, just as the tide was starting to come in, with wavelets gently lapping against the hard metal was Iain's beloved Gerber. Lady luck was smiling on us. With aching legs and bruised bottoms the duathlons were a huge success and we can see a full series occurring. However, with the weather turning wet and windy we're pleased that there are some lay days in-front of us.
← The convenience of modern life.
Ruffian theme tunes. →
1 thought on "The Ruffian Duathlon Series."
I'm definitely in Fiona's camp re cycling styles! 😘

Tribal university students to continue stir
IMPHAL, Oct 19(NNN): Raising their voice against `the indifferent attitude` of their university authority, the students` organization of Indira Gandhi National Tribal University (IGNTU), Regional Campus Manipur has threatened to continue with their agitation saying they would even opt for the `most extreme way`.
The Indira Gandhi National Tribal University Students' Welfare (IGNTUSW), Regional Campus Manipur said that the students in the university have their own share and rights to study like other universities. They said the students` body has approached and urged the state Chief Minister, the state Education Minister, the Chairman of Hill Area Committee (HAC), and various other leaders to help them but nothing has been done so far despite their assurances.
During a meeting between a professor representative of the varsity and leaders of IGNTUSW that held on October 4 at Hotel Classic here, it was officially agreed between the two that the authority would resolve the matter as soon as possible and communicate the same to the students body in written on or before October 17.
In the meeting, an 18 Point Agreement was also signed which include like Semester Examination question setting and answer evaluation should be done by the Regional Campus, infrastructures like library, class room(s), computers with Internet facilities would be provided and immediate shifting of the RCM site at Makhan.
They said they also agreed to call off the stir if their demand or the assurance was fulfilled within October 17 and they were preparing to sit in the 2nd Semester Exam. But the university authority bluffed the students with false promises.
IGNTUSW further appealed to all the tribals of Manipur to extend their best cooperation morally and practically to the cause of the students of this university.

Rođen 20. ožujka 1915. godine u siromašnoj arbanaškoj obitelji od oca Krste i majke Dile (rođene Jovich), sa šestoro braće i sestara. Ubijen u 22. godini, 14. travnja 1937. godine kao student četvrte godine Pravnog fakultet u Zagrebu jer se tada javno deklarirao kao antifašist.
Građanski rat u Španjolskoj (1936-1939.) potaknuo je zaoštravanje po liniji fašisti (ustaše) – antifašisti (ljevičari, HSS-ovci, liberali i dr.). Fašističke grupe počele su s izazivanjem nemira i terora na Zagrebačkom Sveučilištu, sprječavanjem skupova studenata drukčije orijentacije, uništavanjem njihovih publikacija, onemogućavanjem pristupa studentskim izborima i slično. Studenti antifašisti organizirali su samoobranu pa su sukobi postajali sve češći – da bi kulminirali ubojstvom Krste Ljubičića kojeg je kukavički nasmrt izbola noževima organizirana grupa fašista ispred studentskog doma u koji se vraćao nakon večere.
Javnost je bila šokirana i svoje je raspoloženje izrazila masovnim sudjelovanjem na njegovom sprovodu.
U Zadru, u Arbanasima je od 1960. do 1992. osnovna škola nosila ime Krste Ljubičića, a onda je promijenila ime u OŠ Krune Krstića. Također je i u Zagrebu postojala ulica s njegovim imenom.

U Zagrebu, Prilazu Gjure Deželića 30, u dvorištu dječjeg vrtića koji je nekada nosio ime Krste Ljubičića, nalazi se Krstina bista.

U Zagrebu ispred današnjeg Doma zdravlja u Runjaninovoj ulici tridesetak metara udaljenom od pretežito studentskog okupljališta Krivi put, nalazi se spomen-ploča Krsti Ljubičiću - prvoj žrtvi ustaškog terora na Zagrebačkom sveučilištu.
Na tome mjestu nalazio se studentski dom u kojemu je Krsto Ljubičić ubijen jer se javno deklarirao kao antifašist. Iako su slova na spomeniku izblijedjela, spomenik je jasno uočljiv.

On Halloween, college students get rowdy and the faculty gets killed.
Part 4 of the Gregor Demarkian series.
Since Father Tibor Kasparian escaped the Soviet Union, he has done his best to keep his philosophy to himself—not out of fear, but because he knows that few people could stomach an honest account of life under Stalinism. When he gets an invitation to spend a semester teaching philosophy at Independence College, Kasparian hesitates, but his friend Gregor Demarkian, a former FBI investigator, convinces him to accept. They will both wish he had decided to stay away. But on Halloween when the hated professor Donegal Steele vanishes and his secretary turns up dead, Demarkian will have to do his homework to ensure Kasparian isn't the next victim.

Just Catholic
by Phyllis Zagano
It's not too much to say when NCR asked me to write in its pages I nearly hurt myself jumping at the chance. I grew up with NCR's light shining on the issues -- especially the Catholic issues -- of the day. Now I am in the august company of writers I've read for ages -- Eugene Kennedy, Joan Chittister, Richard McBrien -- along with newer, younger voices in Catholic commentary.
I've written and spoken about Catholic issues for a long time -- mostly in secular settings. What's new -- for me at least -- is now I'm writing in Catholic media for educated Catholics. My column is called "Just Catholic." That's all. That's it. Just Catholic.
Of course I have an ax to grind. Several, in fact. Lots of issues attract my eye -- life issues, women's issues, internal church issues. I think I give a particularly Catholic perspective on the news, especially when the church itself becomes the news.
It's no secret secular media are playing "get the church." Too many ignorant writers find Catholicism a target large enough to hit. Bad information swims around newsrooms, escaping on every news cycle tide. Editors publish poorly researched stories and downright anti-Catholic remarks every day.
It doesn't take a dose of paranoia to know there's tons of money being made like that. We'll have the chance to talk about that, too.
But, for today, let me give you an idea of how I see the world at large.
I've had a news clip floating around my desk since early June. I simply cannot throw it away. The New York Times quoted a U.N. report on U.S. use of remote-controlled drones in places like Yemen and Pakistan. One sentence in the 29-page report stayed with me all these months: "Because operators are based thousands of miles away from the battlefield and undertake operations entirely through computer screens and remote audio-feed, there is a risk of developing a 'Playstation' mentality to killing."
Get the picture? I'm surely not the first in line at anti-war rallies, but this concept, this recognition of what we've come to, runs right through me.
Playstation war. It's clean, it's antiseptic. Not much different from the thousands of video games now well advanced from Pac-Man, all with the same basic theme. Get the other guy. Smash him. Maim him. Kill him. Obliterate him.
The video games are self-driven cartoons, but not like the ones you may remember. When Felix got flattened, he popped right up again. Not here.
Only in nursery rhymes did we get a hint of reality. Humpty-Dumpty's been falling off that wall for 200 years, and every child knows he can't be reconstructed.
The subtle transition from nursery rhyme to cartoon to video game to remote control of a live drone omits one crucial point about the drones: There are real people down there in Yemen and Pakistan. There are real people with histories and families, with hopes and dreams. Are they the enemy? Maybe. Maybe not.
They say that when you kill someone you never quite recover. That principle comes from live combat -- hand to hand -- or at least close range. As technology removes the warrior from the war, and killing becomes a clean blood sport, we've done something to ourselves that cannot be repaired.
Playstation war distances us -- all of us -- from reality, because every one of us allows it (and pays for it in one way or another). Playstation war distances us from the very essence of our beings, from the spark of life within us that connects with every other person and with God.
Which is the bottom line. If we talk about religion, we must talk about the way we live it. It's not only relationship with God, it's relationship with ourselves and with each other.
If we distance ourselves -- even remotely -- from what the Velveteen Rabbit called the "really real" we might just as well pack it in and quit the game, because we've lost already.
We're certainly not winning. A 'Playstation' mentality is creeping into all our relationships, not just the conduct of war. We're separated, not connected, by e-mail and social media. We're separated from each other by each other, and the cacophony closes out our own thoughts and even prayers.
None of it: the nastiness in secular media, the e-mail separation, or for sure the remote drones in war, does us justice as Christians, as Catholics, as human beings.
I don't know where it's going, but I am grateful for the opportunity to think about these things with you.

On Tour 2/14/20 – 3/13/20 "Don't Put The Boats Away" by Ames Sheldon
In Don't Put the Boats Away, World War II has just ended. The Suttons are struggling to rebuild their lives after the death of a beloved family member. Daughter Harriet goes to Madison for graduate work in chemistry at a time when women weren't supposed to have careers. Son Nat flunks out of Yale in the hope that his father will finally agree to send him to music school because he's passionate about becoming a jazz musician. Instead, Nat winds up working as a sweeper in the Malt-O-Meal Mill in Northfield during the frigid winter of 1947. Eventually he makes his way to Minneapolis and works as a jazz musician until he discovers he can't support his family playing jazz. This novel is a deep dive into postwar history from 1945 through the 1960s. Issues like sexism and alcoholism are embedded in the novel but ultimately it's a family saga about resilience.
Ames Sheldon worked as a reporter for two small-town newspapers before in southern Minnesota before becoming lead author and associate editor of Women's History Sources: A Guide to Archives and Manuscript Collections in the United States, a monumental reference book which ignited her passion for studying and writing about the history of women in America. After that, she worked as a development officer, raising funds for the Sierra Club in San Francisco, the Minnesota Historical Society in St. Paul, the Minneapolis Public Library, and other nonprofits. Her first novel Eleanor's Wars won the Benjamin Franklin Gold Award for Best New Voice: Fiction in 2016. www.amessheldon.com

Blurbs and reviews:
2019 Best Book Awards Finalist in Historical Fiction
"Don't Put the Boats Away is chock-full of well-researched historical details about political events, medical advancements, and even food trends of the 1940s, '50s, and '60s, and it also offers important commentary on professional opportunities for women during these decades. The author creates believable characters with complex interior lives. Overall, it's a touching tale that examines the ways in which grief, regret, and unmet expectations can reverberate through generations." ―Kirkus Reviews
"Reading Don't Put the Boats Away is like being enveloped in a family, a real family bound by love and loss, music and science. It's a testament to the danger of secrets and the hope we place in future generations. I enjoyed it thoroughly." Jeanne McWilliams Blasberg, Eden and The Nine
"Don't Put the Boats Away is a richly detailed family saga of the Suttons' post-WWII lives—and a wonderful sequel to Ames Sheldon's first novel Eleanor's Wars. Ames's knack for period authenticity is paired with a keen portrayal of the inner lives of major characters that transcend common narratives of '50s, '60s, and '70s America. Complex relationships, dedication to music, science, and family loyalty, and the haunting legacy of war even on privileged families make this a compelling read." Barbara Stark-Nemon, Even in Darkness, Hard Cider
"Don't Put the Boats Away is a timeless portrait of life's loves and losses… the novel has raw and dark undertones… Sheldon explores the furtive topics of mental illness and social conflicts with modern clarity… Her characters are empathetically real." Minnesota Monthly

Walters lifts Northeastern over Hofstra 81-78 in OT
Posted: Jan 7, 2021 / 08:58 PM PST / Updated: Jan 7, 2021 / 08:58 PM PST
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP)Shaquille Walters scored nine of his career-high 20 points in overtime as Northeastern defeated Hofstra 81-78 on Thursday.
Jason Strong scored 16 of his a career-high 18 points after halftime for Northeastern (4-5, 3-0 Colonial Athletic Association), which made up a 19-point gap and broke its five-game road losing streak. Tyson Walker added 11 points and a career-high nine assists. Quirin Emanga scored nine with a career best eight rebounds.
Isaac Kante had 19 points and eight rebounds for the Pride (6-4, 2-1). Caleb Burgess added 15 points and eight assists. Jalen Ray had 15 points and six rebounds but missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer when the shot sailed wide.
Kvonn Cramer had 10 points and 10 rebounds for his second career double-double.
Hofstra led 46-29 after a half, but scored a season-low 22 points in the second half on 9-for-22 shooting with eight turnovers. Northeastern, for the game, scored 21 points off 15 Hofstra turnovers and shot 33-for-62 (53%) with 10 3-pointers.
Hofstra and Northeastern have met for the last two Colonial Athletic Association championships, with the Pride winning their first, 70-61, in March.
The teams meet again Saturday. Last season's regular season games, both Hofstra wins, were decided by six points.

No. 24 UCLA faces sneaky test at Cal
UCLA heads into this week's Pac-12 basketball action on a six-game winning streak and ranked No. 24 in the nation ahead of a matchup with the California Golden Bears on Thursday night in Berkeley, Calif.
The Bruins (11-2, 7-0 Pac-12) have won their last seven meetings with the Bears and are riding high in first place in the conference. It's the first time UCLA has opened the conference season 7-0 since the 1993-94 season.
Rivalry between Oregon and Oregon State tops Pac-12 week
Things to watch this week in Pac-12 Conference basketball:
GAME OF THE WEEK: Oregon State at No 21 Oregon, Saturday. One of the nation's longest home winning streaks will be on the line when the rivalry once known as the Civil War hits the hardwood. The Ducks (9-2, 4-1 Pac-12) return to the court after having games against the two Pac-12 Arizona schools postponed due to COVID-19 issues. Oregon has won 28 straight games at Matthew Knight Arena, the fourth-longest home winning streak nationally and longest among major conference programs. The Beavers (6-5, 2-3) held off Arizona State 80-79 and lost by 34 to Arizona last week.


Once dubbed the "Vegetable of Kings," even King Louis XIV's affinity for asparagus was so passionate he had them cultivated in greenhouses so he could enjoy them year round. The Greek Physician Galen touted the health benefits of asparagus during the second century AD and his claims hold great truth with this vegetable that's low in calories and a good source of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and protein.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus (if you sharply bend the asparagus near the base, it will snap in the right place). Discard the ends.
Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place the asparagus on the sheet and drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil, just enough to lightly coat the asparagus. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the asparagus, and toss until the spears are lightly coated in oil. Arrange the spears in a single layer on the pan.
Bake until the asparagus is tender and roasted to your desired level of doneness (I may have left mine in a little longer than necessary, but I like the crispy tips). Very thin asparagus, like the kind shown here, will take as little as 10 to 12 minutes, whereas thicker asparagus will need 15 to 20 minutes.
Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and season however you'd like. You could keep it simple with a squeeze of lemon juice, or just Parmesan, or add a pat of butter or drizzle of balsamic vinegar. For my variation here, I grated the zest of about half a lemon over the asparagus using a Microplane, then squeezed the juice of half of a lemon over it, and garnished with a few lemon wedges, for good measure. Then I grated some Parmesan over the dish, followed by a light sprinkle of chopped mint and a very light sprinkle of red pepper flakes.


Steve Body puts together a good list here of his top 10+ beer cities, it's worth the read. Tough to swallow only being #2 up here in Bridge City, but I can't argue with the fearsome lineup of excellent breweries San Diego offers. He does point out that PDX offers a better "destination" and wider spectrum, and I fully agree - San Diego has the West Coast IPA, Double IPA, Red IPA thing down pat, and that's a beautiful thing, but they may have something to learn from The Commons, Cascade and Breakside. Just over the hill, Bend was rated #8, despite being a pretty small town, I think that number will rise in the next few years as the newer breweries really get it dialed in.
So our pale is now ready (dubbed Pale Comparison) and the only true unbiased testing comes blind.
You who are not blind can tell that we do not have the commercial filtering equipment afforded by FW, so ours is the murky one on the left, that will probably settle over the next 2 weeks.
Three trusted friends and beer appreciators and myself tasted the two blind, like Devin here, who can't trust himself to keep his eyes closed. Surprisingly 4 out of 4 scored ours higher than the Pale 31, and it wasn't even that close. I tasted the Pale 31 second, and was disappointed with it because I thought it was ours - jazzed. The Pale Comparison has a superb nose with citrus and subtle floral tones, and finishes clean but a touch sweeter than the 31. Enough with the bragging, this is why we brew - it's a blast, and occasionally you hit one out of the park. We'll keep this one as a regular in the rotation.

Maine Eats: the food revolution starts here
From Maine's iconic lobsters, blueberries, potatoes, apples, and maple syrup, to local favorites like poutine, baked beans, red hot dogs, Italian sandwiches, and Whoopie Pies, Maine's identity and economy are inextricably linked to food. Sourcing food, preparing food, and eating food are all part of the heartbeat of Maine's culture and economy. Now, a food revolution is taking us back to our roots in Maine: to the traditional sources, preparation, and pleasures of eating food that have sustained Mainers for millennia.

Before going to Chile, I had never heard of San Pedro de Atacama. Even though the Chilean desert is quite famous in that side of the world, I did not know anything about it.
The thing is that one day I was in Santiago, in Chile, and I was bored.
I was in the area travelling and took the opportunity to visit a friend who was living in the city, but there isn't too much to see in Santiago.
After a trip to Valparaiso (enchanting) and a nice walk in Viña del mar (full of weird sea cockroaches – this is the main thing I remember), an excursion to the Andes and a couple of parties, I did not have much to do.
Someone told me about the beauty of the northest part of the country, so I started researching about it.
As you know, Chile has a ridiculous shape. Santiago is more or less in the middle of the country, but if I wanted to go up north by bus as the majority of people does, I would take 30 hours.
So I decided to splurge on a solid 150 USD flight ticket with Sky Airline to get there faster.
So, I land in Calama, in the delightful region of Antofagasta, where I take a shuttle to San Pedro de Atacama. All around me only desert and some cactus. It feels like being on the moon! Is there desert on the moon?
The village is also called San Perro de Atacama (perro in Spanish means "dog") for its huge amount of stray dogs. It is true, there is plenty of them. And I have an empanada in my rucksack.
My first night in the Chilean desert weirdly ends up with me going back in double time, enlightened only by a feeble moonlight, and a crowd of at least 15 stray dogs silently following me up to my hostel. I end up sharing my dinner with them.
The next day I reluctantly wake up at 4 am to go check the Geyser del Tatio with a group of people. It's freezing!
I ask my guide to lend me her woolen hat for just 5 minutes. I still have that hat at home.
In my extended experience in terms of geysers (let's NOT forget I have been to Iceland) these geysers were quite impressive. We also get tea and cookies from the guide, who becomes my best friend.
In the late morning I go back, fall asleep on a hammock, wake up with a sunburn and run with the group that is going to the Miscanti Lake.
We are 20 km away from Bolivia, which is famous for its Uyuni Salt lake (an immense salt lake, guess who is going to visit it this autumn!) and we pass by its Chilean brother, the Salar de Talar.
There are a million flamingos that, unbeknown to it, become right away my facebook background. I should have tagged them.
The lake where we get shortly after, is out of this world. It definitely looks painted, and it's full of llama wandering around.
From there we even go to some natural hot springs, where I jump immediately.
The day after I go the Cejar lagoon, where the lagoon colours and water mix with the salt making spectacular views that look like ice. Great profile pictures once again.
In the afternoon I complete my excursions with an itinerary in the Death Valley. Wow!
I stick all the time to my guide because I am afraid I will fall in the dunes and be buried forever. Everybody is well equipped and I am with a top and Superga sneakers. I don't even have water. Usual stuff!
I manage to survive the desert excursion (with a bit of thirst), I don't get eaten alive by dogs, I don't get lost in the area in the dark. Also this time my trip was a complete success!
As you may see, all the photos I took are postcards. San Pedro de Atacama is easily one of the most picturesque places I have ever seen. I know that "picturesque" is a word an aunt would use, but how else would you define a place like this?


Promotions for her movie saw Sonam in an Anamika Khanna dress and Kunal Rawal cape-style jacket (that she also wore to his store launch) and then in a Mother of Pearl suit on Sunday morning.
As a fan of a crisp pant-suit, it's hard for me to like these extreme cropped flares so I really wasn't drawn to the suit. As for the Kunal Rawal, I did find the jacket a bit funny at first but the look is growing on me.
The cape is competing with the boots and the clutch for attention. If worn with basics, then the cape can really stand out.
I have to point out one thing though – This is such a lame critique. If it was anyone else I am pretty sure you would have said "we will chalk this down to a Not Quite" or some thing to that effect. But since this is Sonam, that cape is "growing" on you.
Hahahahahaha. I needed a laugh.
Very very costumey! If she had a playful expression or pose, I would think she's just having fun and expressing herself. But her expression puts me off. She takes herself way too seriously!
Time for her to hang her fashionista coat.
Does Sonam even realize how comical she looks?
That pant suit is wtheyyyyy! The Kunal Rawat cape is sort of interesting in a way and the dress is nice but overall the look seems a little extra!

Q: Why is "Use MFC in a Static Library" setting not followed when building a DLL with VS 2008? My goal is to create an MFC/C++ DLL that does not have any dependencies other than the basic Win32 DLLs. So I chose "Use MFC in a Static Library" setting in the project properties -> General -> Use of MFC:

but when I build this DLL and check the result with the Dependency Walker I get this:

Showing dependencies on the following MFC Dlls:
MFC90U.DLL
MSVCR90.DLL
MSVCP90.DLL

So what am I doing wrong here?
PS. I'm using Visual Studio 2008

A: I think I got it. What messed me up was the project setting in C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library. It was changed to Multi-threaded DLL (/MD) and then the following was added to the stdafx.h file:
#define _AFXDLL

So to make it statically link to MFC libraries, I had to change the first setting to Multi-threaded (/MT) and comment out the second one.

Project acronym 2O2ACTIVATION
Project Development of Direct Dehydrogenative Couplings mediated by Dioxygen
Researcher (PI) Frederic William Patureau
Host Institution (HI) RHEINISCH-WESTFAELISCHE TECHNISCHE HOCHSCHULE AACHEN
Summary The field of C-H bond activation has evolved at an exponential pace in the last 15 years. What appeals most in those novel synthetic techniques is clear: they bypass the pre-activation steps usually required in traditional cross-coupling chemistry by directly metalating C-H bonds. Many C-H bond functionalizations today however, rely on poorly atom and step efficient oxidants, leading to significant and costly chemical waste, thereby seriously undermining the overall sustainability of those methods. As restrictions in sustainability regulations will further increase, and the cost of certain chemical commodities will rise, atom efficiency in organic synthesis remains a top priority for research. The aim of 2O2ACTIVATION is to develop novel technologies utilizing O2 as sole terminal oxidant in order to allow useful, extremely sustainable, thermodynamically challenging, dehydrogenative C-N and C-O bond forming coupling reactions. However, the moderate reactivity of O2 towards many catalysts constitutes a major challenge. 2O2ACTIVATION will pioneer the design of new catalysts based on the ultra-simple propene motive, capable of direct activation of O2 for C-H activation based cross-couplings. The project is divided into 3 major lines: O2 activation using propene and its analogues (propenoids), 1) without metal or halide, 2) with hypervalent halide catalysis, 3) with metal catalyzed C-H activation. The philosophy of 2O2ACTIVATION is to focus C-H functionalization method development on the oxidative event. Consequently, 2O2ACTIVATION breakthroughs will dramatically shortcut synthetic routes through the use of inactivated, unprotected, and readily available building blocks; and thus should be easily scalable. This will lead to a strong decrease in the costs related to the production of many essential chemicals, while preserving the environment (water as terminal by-product). The resulting novels coupling methods will thus have a lasting impact on the chemical industry.

Project acronym ADJUV-ANT VACCINES
Project Elucidating the Molecular Mechanisms of Synthetic Saponin Adjuvants and Development of Novel Self-Adjuvanting Vaccines
Researcher (PI) Alberto FERNANDEZ TEJADA
Host Institution (HI) ASOCIACION CENTRO DE INVESTIGACION COOPERATIVA EN BIOCIENCIAS
Summary The clinical success of anticancer and antiviral vaccines often requires the use of an adjuvant, a substance that helps stimulate the body's immune response to the vaccine, making it work better. However, few adjuvants are sufficiently potent and non-toxic for clinical use; moreover, it is not really known how they work. Current vaccine approaches based on weak carbohydrate and glycopeptide antigens are not being particularly effective to induce the human immune system to mount an effective fight against cancer. Despite intensive research and several clinical trials, no such carbohydrate-based antitumor vaccine has yet been approved for public use. In this context, the proposed project has a double, ultimate goal based on applying chemistry to address the above clear gaps in the adjuvant-vaccine field. First, I will develop new improved adjuvants and novel chemical strategies towards more effective, self-adjuvanting synthetic vaccines. Second, I will probe deeply into the molecular mechanisms of the synthetic constructs by combining extensive immunological evaluations with molecular target identification and detailed conformational studies. Thus, the singularity of this multidisciplinary proposal stems from the integration of its main objectives and approaches connecting chemical synthesis and chemical/structural biology with cellular and molecular immunology. This ground-breaking project at the chemistry-biology frontier will allow me to establish my own independent research group and explore key unresolved mechanistic questions in the adjuvant/vaccine arena with extraordinary chemical precision. Therefore, with this transformative and timely research program I aim to (a) develop novel synthetic antitumor and antiviral vaccines with improved properties and efficacy for their prospective translation into the clinic and (b) gain new critical insights into the molecular basis and three-dimensional structure underlying the biological activity of these constructs.

Project acronym AlCat
Project Bond activation and catalysis with low-valent aluminium
Researcher (PI) Michael James COWLEY
Host Institution (HI) THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH
Summary This project will develop the principles required to enable bond-modifying redox catalysis based on aluminium by preparing and studying new Al(I) compounds capable of reversible oxidative addition. Catalytic processes are involved in the synthesis of 75 % of all industrially produced chemicals, but most catalysts involved are based on precious metals such as rhodium, palladium or platinum. These metals are expensive and their supply limited and unstable; there is a significant need to develop the chemistry of non-precious metals as alternatives. On toxicity and abundance alone, aluminium is an attractive candidate. Furthermore, recent work, including in our group, has demonstrated that Al(I) compounds can perform a key step in catalytic cycles - the oxidative addition of E-H bonds. In order to realise the significant potential of Al(I) for transition-metal style catalysis we urgently need to: - establish the principles governing oxidative addition and reductive elimination reactivity in aluminium systems. - know how the reactivity of Al(I) compounds can be controlled by varying properties of ligand frameworks. - understand the onward reactivity of oxidative addition products of Al(I) to enable applications in catalysis. In this project we will: - Study mechanisms of oxidative addition and reductive elimination of a range of synthetically relevant bonds at Al(I) centres, establishing the principles governing this fundamental reactivity. - Develop new ligand frameworks to support of Al(I) centres and evaluate the effect of the ligand on oxidative addition/reductive elimination at Al centres. - Investigate methods for Al-mediated functionalisation of organic compounds by exploring the reactivity of E-H oxidative addition products with unsaturated organic compounds.

Project acronym AMPLIPORE
Project Understanding negative gas adsorption in highly porous networks for the design of pressure amplifying materials
Researcher (PI) Stefan Kaskel
Host Institution (HI) TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITAET DRESDEN
Summary Negative gas adsorption (NGA) is a new, counterintuitive and paradoxical phenomenon, for the first time reported by my group in 2016: Normal solid materials with significant outer or inner surface area always take up gas when the pressure in the surrounding reservoir is increased (adsorption). NGA networks instead react at a certain point in the opposite direction: They release gas upon external pressure increase, leading to an overall pressure amplification in a closed system. Comparable phenomena have never been reported before. What is so exciting about NGA? We have a unique material in hand, that counteracts to an external force by force amplification. So far NGA has solely been observed in one of our new coordination polymers, featuring a colossal selfcompression associated with a mesopore-to-micropore transformation. Gas pressure amplifying materials could lead to important innovations in gas releasing rescue systems, pneumatic control systems (production, transportation), micropumps, microfluidic devices, pneumatic actuators, and artificial lungs. A fundamental understanding of the physical mechanisms, structures, and thermodynamic boundary conditions is an essential prerequisite for any industrial application of this counterintuitive phenomenon. Combining strong synthetic methodologies with advanced analytical techniques, AMPLIPORE will elucidate the characteristic molecular and mesoscopic materials signatures as well as thermodynamic boundary conditions of NGA phenomena. We will elaborate a generic NGA-materials concept to tailor the pressure amplification and explore temperature and pressure ranges at which NGA can be applied. Developing tailormade instrumentation for kinetic investigations of NGA will give fundamental insights into the intrinsic and macroscopic dynamics of crystal-to-crystal transformations for applications in micropneumatic systems.

Comparable phenomena have never been reported before. What is so exciting about NGA? We have a unique material in hand, that counteracts to an external force by force amplification. So far NGA has solely been observed in one of our new coordination polymers, featuring a colossal selfcompression associated with a mesopore-to-micropore transformation. Gas pressure amplifying materials could lead to important innovations in gas releasing rescue systems, pneumatic control systems (production, transportation), micropumps, microfluidic devices, pneumatic actuators, and artificial lungs. A fundamental understanding of the physical mechanisms, structures, and thermodynamic boundary conditions is an essential prerequisite for any industrial application of this counterintuitive phenomenon. Combining strong synthetic methodologies with advanced analytical techniques, AMPLIPORE will elucidate the characteristic molecular and mesoscopic materials signatures as well as thermodynamic boundary conditions of NGA phenomena. We will elaborate a generic NGA-materials concept to tailor the pressure amplification and explore temperature and pressure ranges at which NGA can be applied. Developing tailormade instrumentation for kinetic investigations of NGA will give fundamental insights into the intrinsic and macroscopic dynamics of crystal-to-crystal transformations for applications in micropneumatic systems.
Project acronym AMPLITUDES
Project Novel structures in scattering amplitudes
Researcher (PI) Johannes Martin HENN
Host Institution (HI) JOHANNES GUTENBERG-UNIVERSITAT MAINZ
Call Details Consolidator Grant (CoG), PE2, ERC-2016-COG
Summary This project focuses on developing quantum field theory methods and applying them to the phenomenology of elementary particles. At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) our current best theoretical understanding of particle physics is being tested against experiment by measuring e.g. properties of the recently discovered Higgs boson. With run two of the LHC, currently underway, the experimental accuracy will further increase. Theoretical predictions matching the latter are urgently needed. Obtaining these requires extremely difficult calculations of scattering amplitudes and cross sections in quantum field theory, including calculations to correctly describe large contributions due to long-distance physics in the latter. Major obstacles in such computations are the large number of Feynman diagrams that are difficult to handle, even with the help of modern computers, and the computation of Feynman loop integrals. To address these issues, we will develop innovative methods that are inspired by new structures found in supersymmetric field theories. We will extend the scope of the differential equations method for computing Feynman integrals, and apply it to scattering processes that are needed for phenomenology, but too complicated to analyze using current methods. Our results will help measure fundamental parameters of Nature, such as, for example, couplings of the Higgs boson, with unprecedented precision. Moreover, by accurately predicting backgrounds from known physics, our results will also be invaluable for searches of new particles.

Project acronym AtoFun
Project Atomic Scale Defects: Structure and Function
Researcher (PI) Felix HOFMANN
Summary Atomic scale defects play a key role in determining the behaviour of all crystalline materials, profoundly modifying mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. Many current technological applications make do with phenomenological descriptions of these effects; yet myriad intriguing questions about the fundamental link between defect structure and material function remain. Transmission electron microscopy revolutionised the study of atomic scale defects by enabling their direct imaging. The novel coherent X-ray diffraction techniques developed in this project promise a similar advancement, making it possible to probe the strain fields that govern defect interactions in 3D with high spatial resolution (<10 nm). They will allow us to clarify the effect of impurities and retained gas on dislocation strain fields, shedding light on opportunities to engineer dislocation properties. The exceptional strain sensitivity of coherent diffraction will enable us to explore the fundamental mechanisms governing the behaviour of ion-implantation-induced point defects that are invisible to TEM. While we concentrate on dislocations and point defects, the new techniques will apply to all crystalline materials where defects are important. Our characterisation of defect structure will be combined with laser transient grating measurements of thermal transport changes due to specific defect populations. This unique multifaceted perspective of defect behaviour will transform our ability to devise modelling approaches linking defect structure to material function. Our proof-of-concept results highlight the feasibility of this ambitious research project. It opens up a vast range of exciting possibilities to gain a deep, fundamental understanding of atomic scale defects and their effect on material function. This is an essential prerequisite for exploiting and engineering defects to enhance material properties.

Project acronym AXION
Project Axions: From Heaven to Earth
Researcher (PI) Frank Wilczek
Host Institution (HI) STOCKHOLMS UNIVERSITET
Summary Axions are hypothetical particles whose existence would solve two major problems: the strong P, T problem (a major blemish on the standard model); and the dark matter problem. It is a most important goal to either observe or rule out the existence of a cosmic axion background. It appears that decisive observations may be possible, but only after orchestrating insight from specialities ranging from quantum field theory and astrophysical modeling to ultra-low noise quantum measurement theory. Detailed predictions for the magnitude and structure of the cosmic axion background depend on cosmological and astrophysical modeling, which can be constrained by theoretical insight and numerical simulation. In parallel, we must optimize strategies for extracting accessible signals from that very weakly interacting source. While the existence of axions as fundamental particles remains hypothetical, the equations governing how axions interact with electromagnetic fields also govern (with different parameters) how certain materials interact with electromagnetic fields. Thus those materials embody "emergent" axions. The equations have remarkable properties, which one can test in these materials, and possibly put to practical use. Closely related to axions, mathematically, are anyons. Anyons are particle-like excitations that elude the familiar classification into bosons and fermions. Theoretical and numerical studies indicate that they are common emergent features of highly entangled states of matter in two dimensions. Recent work suggests the existence of states of matter, both natural and engineered, in which anyon dynamics is both important and experimentally accessible. Since the equations for anyons and axions are remarkably similar, and both have common, deep roots in symmetry and topology, it will be fruitful to consider them together.

Project acronym B-PhosphoChem
Project Exploration of the 2D-Chemistry of Black Phosphorous
Researcher (PI) Andreas Hirsch
Host Institution (HI) FRIEDRICH-ALEXANDER-UNIVERSITAET ERLANGEN NUERNBERG
Summary We propose the development of the chemistry of black phosphorus (BP). B-PhosphoChem will constitute a new text book chapter in the realm of synthetic chemistry located at the interface of inorganic-, organic-, and materials chemistry as well as solid state physics. B-PhosphoChem will provide the basis for exciting and so far elusive applications such as ion batteries and stable high performance devices. Thin sheets of BP represent a new class of 2D materials and have recently raised tremendous interest in the scientific community. Outstanding physical properties such as high charge carrier mobility, combined with transparency and the persistence of a band gap have been discovered. However, the chemistry of BP remains still unexplored. B-PhosphoChem will close this gap and will a) provide the opportunity to modulate and fine tune the physical properties, b) allow for considerably improving the processability and increasing the solubility, c) establish concepts for the desired chemical stabilization, d) give access to the combination of BP properties with those of other compound classes, e) reveal the fundamental chemical properties and reactivity principles, and f) provide methods for establishing practical applications. Five work packages will be addressed: 1) Production of Thin Layer BP, 2) Supramolecular Chemistry of BP, 3) Intercalation Compounds of BP, 4) Covalent Chemistry of BP, and 5) BP-Based Materials and Devices. The work packages will be supported by systematic calculations. For our group, whose core competence is synthetic organic and supramolecular chemistry, the orientation towards inorganic phosphorus chemistry constitutes a major step into a completely new direction. However, we are convinced to be the most predestinated research group in the world successfully facing this challenge because of our leadership and well documented interdisciplinary experience in synthesizing and characterizing 0D-, 1D-, and 2D nanostructures.

Project acronym BEAM-EDM
Project Unique Method for a Neutron Electric Dipole Moment Search using a Pulsed Beam
Researcher (PI) Florian Michael PIEGSA
Host Institution (HI) UNIVERSITAET BERN
Summary My research encompasses the application of novel methods and strategies in the field of low energy particle physics. The goal of the presented program is to lead an independent and highly competitive experiment to search for a CP violating neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM), as well as for new exotic interactions using highly sensitive neutron and proton spin resonance techniques. The measurement of the nEDM is considered to be one of the most important fundamental physics experiments at low energy. It represents a promising route for finding new physics beyond the standard model (SM) and describes an important search for new sources of CP violation in order to understand the observed large baryon asymmetry in our universe. The main project will follow a novel concept based on my original idea, which plans to employ a pulsed neutron beam at high intensity instead of the established use of storable ultracold neutrons. This complementary and potentially ground-breaking method provides the possibility to distinguish between the signal due to a nEDM and previously limiting systematic effects, and should lead to an improved result compared to the present best nEDM beam experiment. The findings of these investigations will be of paramount importance and will form the cornerstone for the success of the full-scale experiment intended for the European Spallation Source. A second scientific question will be addressed by performing spin precession experiments searching for exotic short-range interactions and associated light bosons. This is a vivid field of research motivated by various extensions to the SM. The goal of these measurements, using neutrons and protons, is to search for additional interactions such new bosons mediate between ordinary particles. Both topics describe ambitious and unique efforts. They use related techniques, address important questions in fundamental physics, and have the potential of substantial scientific implications and high-impact results.

Project acronym BETACONTROL
Project Control of amyloid formation via beta-hairpin molecular recognition features
Researcher (PI) Wolfgang HOYER
Host Institution (HI) HEINRICH-HEINE-UNIVERSITAET DUESSELDORF
Summary The aggregation of proteins into amyloid fibrils is involved in various diseases which place a high burden on patients, families, caregivers, and healthcare systems, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and type 2 diabetes. While the therapeutic potential of the inhibition of amyloid formation and spreading has been recognized, there is a lack of effective strategies targeting the early steps of the aggregation reaction. In BETACONTROL, I want to establish a structure-guided approach to the control of amyloid formation and spreading. I will develop small molecule and polypeptide-based ligands that interfere with the initial phases of amyloid formation and thereby suppress any toxic oligomeric or fibrillar assemblies. The ligands will target beta-hairpin molecular recognition features, which I found to be readily accessible in disease-related amyloidogenic proteins. Targeting beta-hairpins enables retardation of protein aggregation by substoichiometric amounts of the ligand, affording inhibition of amyloid formation at low compound concentrations. As the strategy addresses the common propensity of amyloidogenic proteins to adopt beta-structure, it will be applicable to a wide range of proteins associated with various diseases. BETACONTROL will yield molecular-level insight into the mechanistic basis of amyloid formation and spreading. Furthermore, it will elucidate the significance of beta-hairpins as molecular recognition features in intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and highlight the applicability of these features as targets for interference with protein-protein interactions of IDPs. Ultimately, BETACONTROL will provide a novel therapeutic approach to a range of devastating diseases.

Pope Francis breaks with tradition with impromptu comments about God's power to forgive
Middletown organizations get total of $7,000 from fun run

VATICAN CITY -- Breaking with tradition, Pope Francis delivered off-the-cuff remarks about God's power to forgive instead of reading from a written speech for the first Sunday window appearance of his papacy.
He also spoke only in Italian -- beginning with "buon giorno" (Good day) and ending with "buon pranzo" (Have a good lunch) -- instead of greeting the faithful in several languages as his last few predecessors had done.
His comments and humor delighted a crowd of more than 150,000 in St. Peter's Square, drawing cheers and laughter.
In just five days, Francis' straightforward, spontaneous style has become immediate hallmark of his papacy.
Earlier Sunday, he made an impromptu appearance before the public from a side gate of the Vatican, startling passers-by and prompting cheers, before delivering a six minute homily -- brief by church standards -- at the Vatican's tiny parish church.
Before he entered St. Anna's church to celebrate Mass, he heartily shook hands with parishioners and kissed babies.
After Mass, Francis put his security detail to the test as he waded into the street just outside St. Anna's Gate. As the traffic light at the intersection turned green, Francis stepped up to the crowd, grasping outstretched hands. The atmosphere was so casual that several people even gripped Francis on the shoulder.
A few minutes later as the traffic light turned red, Francis ducked back inside the Vatican's boundaries to dash upstairs for the window appearance from the papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace.
