Deanna Won is a former U.S. Air Force Colonel and physicist who specialized in electro-optics and lasers for over 26 years. She worked in space launch, missile defense, biological defense and NATO operations. But no military training prepared her for a battle with ovarian cancer.
Ten months later, the tumor was starting to die from the inside out, and Deanna went back to work which required traveling overseas and long days. It was hard to maintain her healthy regimen, which is common when you travel for work.
Working 16-18 hour days without taking enough time to care for herself took their toll. Deanna's cancer ended up spreading to her entire abdominal lining, causing her to experience multiple hemorrhages. By the time she reached age 47, Deanna's lungs had collapsed and filled with fluid, upon which doctors lost hope for her survival. She was placed under hospice care and on an oxygen machine, with the grim prognosis of 1 to 2 months left to live.
Choosing a holistic approach to manage metastatic cancer is a very personal choice. Deanna will discuss her decision and its outcomes September 23, 4pm EST. on Fearless Fabulous You! on W4WN.com.
Deanna's near death experience from ovarian cancer made her change her life and enroll in Institute for Integrative Nutrition to become a certified holistic health coach and she is a motivational speaker. I share this path with Deanna and know where she's coming from: Once you visit CancerLand, you never want to return. Making healthy lifestyle and diet changes are both your first steps of defense and offense against any disease.
Ovarian cancer has been called the "silent killer" because it is too often detected at an advanced stage. There is currently no reliable screening for ovarian cancer, an issue I addressed in a recent edition of Fearless Fabulous You! and on Huffington Post for Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month (September). But you have treatment options and you can choose to make healthy changes. I have interviewed many women who are long-time ovarian cancer survivors. I salute Colonel Deanna Won for her resilience and thank her for sharing her message.

The Greatest Samurai Film You've Never Seen
Geoffry O'Brien in his Criterion Film Essay notes:
In an era of Japanese filmmaking marked by such masterpieces as Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood and Masaki Kobayashi's Harakiri, and when even the most routine samurai pictures tended to look very stylish indeed, The Sword of Doom stands out for the rigor and calligraphic pictorialism of its widescreen compositions.
The Guardian in 2005 published an obituary in honor of Director Kihachi Okamoto recalling him as "one of the least known of [Japanese] postwar directors in the west" despite being one of the "leading exponents" of the "most celebrated genre [of films] to come out of Japan." Calling the neglect as "unwarranted", the obituary highlighted the The Sword of Doom (1966) as one such movie that "gained a following" and "is still highly regarded."
Incidentally, Wendell Jamieson of The New York Times recently recounted his long time fascination with Japanese movies depicting swordfights. Sword of Doom not only happens to be Jamieson's favorite but one that his Kendo teacher Noboru Kataoka holds in high regards "as the greatest sword fight film of them all." Jamieson portrays the action in the movie as follows:
Nakadai's fluid and catlike movements seem hardly human — his maniacal grin adds another level of malevolence — but are almost balletic in their elegance. He completes his strokes with graceful upward arcs even after they have done their damage.
If the beautifully captured art of sword fighting have profoundly captivated many, the Zen-like portrayal of the human condition depicted through the protagonist of the film, Ryunosuke, remains yet another source of fascination. O'Brien, brings to our attention the juxtaposition of opposites in Ryunosuke:
Ryunosuke is at once hero and villain, demon and potential bodhisattva, and Tatsuya Nakadai's stunning performance incarnates perfectly the paradox at the heart of the character: Does he act or is he acted upon? In what sense does he choose his destiny? He seems at times the spectator of his own destructive course, alternately anguished or blackly amused but essentially powerless to change what happens.
Similarly, Bruce Edgar's take on Sword of Doom encapsulates wonderfully the portrayal of contradictions and Zen-ness in the film:
His Ryunosuke ("a man from hell," as one character puts it) is one of the screen's more memorable psychopaths, a passive-aggressive whose bloodlust is portrayed with dead calm, revealed by the tiniest motion of an eye, the trace of a smile, or the tense position of his body as he ponders killing.
Tonight, Japan Society concludes its Zen & Its Opposite: Essential (& Turbulent) Japanese Art House film series with the [sold-out] screening of Sword of Doom at 7:30pm. The movie illustrates the Realm of the Asuras or the realm of anger, jealousy, and constant war in the "Six Planes of Existence"- a Buddhist concept commonly referred as "Six Paths" or (Rokudō or Rokudō-rinne) in Japan—within "the realm of Birth and Death" (Samsara).
Directed by Kihachi Okamoto, Sword of Doom is based on the novel Daibosatsu Toge or The Pass of the Great Buddha by Kaizan Nakazato which first appeared as a newspaper serial in 1913. After being published for forty-one volumes spanning three decades, the novel was left incomplete due to author's death. Okamoto, on the other hand, has had direct experience of war being drafted at the age of 19 as a student at Meiji University. His encounter with war and violence is said to have influenced his film making career deeply. After coming back from the war in 1947, Okamoto joined the Toho studios and worked with several directors until his directorial debut came in 1958 working on melodramas. Later, he specialized in action films and joined Toei to become the "undisputed star of Toei's ninkyo eiga yakuza films."

Social Entrepreneurs And Youth in Japan: Agents Against A Return To Isolation
When Ashoka, a leading American nonprofit that supports social entrepreneurs, opened an office in Japan recently, founder Bill Drayton noted at the press conference that Japan was the first country in over 80 countries where Ashoka is active, "where someone from that country came to us first." [Full video here.]
That someone was Nana Watanabe, the author of two Japanese bestselling books (in Japanese only) on social entrepreneurship, Changemakers: Social Entrepreneurs are Changing the World (2005) and Changemakers II: Working as a Social Entrepreneur (2007).
Active with the Japan Society's Innovators Network, Nana's commitment to nurturing the next generation of social entrepreneurs and serving as a Leadership Group Member to Ashoka in Japan comes as no surprise to us. This past summer, Nana and her colleagues organized the first Youth Venture project in Japan, where approximately 80 youth, ages 12-20, from all over Japan, including those whose families are originally from Mongolia, China and Korea, gathered and presented their ideas [PDF download] for positive change in Japan.
The Ashoka Japan office is headed by Kashiwa Maki, a former Bridgestone executive and the founder of a social business in Southern California that worked with Japanese children with disabilities and their families.
Given the current national concern that young Japanese are more and more inward looking, studying abroad in smaller numbers, and less interested in working overseas for their employers, could Ashoka's efforts in Japan contribute to reversing this trend among young Japanese? Will it help them think differently about how they approach their work and careers? Can it influence the way they relate to the outside world and how they might contribute to its betterment?
These questions and more will be address at Japan Society's upcoming March 23 panel, Is Japan Returning to Isolation?, with Peggy Blumenthal, Senior Counselor, Institute of International Education (IIE); Robert Dujarric, Director, Institute of Contemporary Asian Studies, Temple University Japan; George Packard, President, The United States-Japan Foundation; and Masaaki Tanaka, EO for the Americas, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd; Director, Japan Society. We hope to see you!

East Asia 2011: Measuring Perils, Managing Risk
Perils as persistent as time. Via.
A spotlight shone brightly on tensions in the East Asian region last year with the sinking of the South Korean warship, Cheonan, in March followed by collision of a Chinese trawler with Japanese coastguard vessels in the disputed waters of East China Sea in September, and shelling of South Korea controlled Yeonpyeong Island by North Korea in November. More recently, revelation of a new nuclear enrichment facility at Yongbyon, North Korea's main nuclear plant, has only added fuel to the growing tension in the region and beyond.
The collision of a Chinese trawler and two Japanese coastguard vessels in 2010 around uninhabited Senkaku islands disputed between Japan and China (called Diaoyu Islands in China) propelled actions such as Beijing banning exports to Japan of rare earth minerals that are crucial for electronics and auto parts manufacturing and others including suspension of high-level contacts, Chinese travel agencies canceling package tours to Japan and withdrawal of invitation from 1000 Japanese youngsters who were going to attend the World Expo in Shanghai. While tensions continue, further damage was halted with Japan's release of the trawler captain amidst growing pressure from China.
Within Japan, recent developments hint toward a shift in focus with regards to defense in face of changing geopolitical risks. In December 2010, Japan's cabinet approved new guidelines that refocus its defense strategy on the rise of China rather than the "cold war threat of Russia". The guidelines "also call for a stronger alliance with the US – Japan's biggest ally – and expanded security networks with partners such as South Korea and Australia." The news report also states that "Japan will acquire new submarines and fighter jets, upgrade its missile defence capabilities and make its ground forces more mobile so that they can quickly respond to emergencies in south-west Japan."
Military might is also on the rise in China. The Economist notes that "China's army is planning to add impressive new capabilities—an aircraft-carrier, a "carrier-killing" anti-ship ballistic missile, and a "stealth" jet fighter—without offering much clarity about its strategic intentions". China reportedly tested the J-20 stealth plane during Defense Secretary Robert Gates's visit to China earlier this year in January.
Gideon Rachman notes in Foreign Policy that Fortune's latest ranking of the world's largest companies has "only two American firms in the top 10 -- Walmart at No. 1 and ExxonMobil at No. 3 while there are already three Chinese firms in the top 10: Sinopec, State Grid, and China National". With unfaltering economic prowess and resulting power, China's stance in the matters of regional security and stability has become as critical as in the matters of economics and trade. As South Korea, U.S. and Japan condemned incidents thought to be provocations by North Korea, i.e., the sinking of Chonan and the shelling of Yonpyong Island, China held a much softer stance on North Korea. It was only during President Hu Jintao's visit to the U.S. last month that he agreed to a joint statement that emphasized the importance of North-South dialogue and expressed concern for the first time regarding the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK) uranium enrichment program.
In a report titled "China and Inter-Korean Clashes in the Yellow Sea", The Crisis Group notes the "growing power and foreign policy confidence" as being important factors influencing China's stance and underscores one of the complexities as follows:
In the past, Beijing's willingness to at least calibrate its responses to North Korean provocations was seen by the West as essential for moderating Pyongyang's behaviour. Over the past year, however, Beijing has not only escalated its claims to disputed territories in the South China Sea and Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands, but also increasingly resisted external pressure over Iran as well as North Korea. It feels under less pressure to yield to external demands and increasingly expects quid pro quos from the West in return for cooperation on sensitive third-country issues.
In cooperation with the National Committee on United States-China Relations and in honor of the launch of a new book on China-Japan tensions, Japan Society presents Perils of Proximity: Managing Risk in East Asia, a panel of three regional experts featuring President, Eurasia Group Ian Bremmer, Center for Northeast Asian Policy Studies Director Richard C. Bush, III, and Johns Hopkins Center for East Asian Studies Director Kent Kaldor. Moderated by Jan Berris, Vice President, National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, the [sold out] panel takes place at Japan Society on Monday, Feb 14, at 5:30pm.

'Design Difference' in Review
In November 2010, Japan Society's Innovators Network convened 20 designers, architects, nonprofit leaders and the media from Japan, the U.S., Vietnam and Thailand. The three-day program, The Design Difference, looked at design as a tool for social change. For this project, we partnered with three incredible organizations: Common Ground, The Designers Accord and GOOD.
The program began with a visit to Brooklyn's Brownsville, which has the highest concentration of public housing in the U.S., and where more than half of the residents live under the official poverty line. What we saw and learned is described by Alissa Walker in the first of a three-part series she wrote for GOOD. The article, "The Design Difference: In Brownsville, Enormous Urban Challenges, and Hope" highlights the challenges facing Brownsville, some of the incredible work already underway, and why Japan Society organized the project. Walker notes in her conclusion:
Solutions tested in this community could be replicated anywhere if they work. The question now became, how could design make a difference? And how could we—outsiders, with only a tenuous connection to the neighborhood—help in a way that was meaningful?
This was followed by "The Design Difference: Using Design to Conduct a Problem-solving Workshop", which explains the process and tools developed by designer Valerie Casey for the workshop. Material is available for anyone to use for their own brainstorming sessions through links in the article. Rich Streimatter-Tran, an artist who teaches RMIT Vietnam and a participant in the project, has already put the materials to good use in his design class in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
The final article in the series, "The Design Difference, How You Can Propose Ideas for Brownsville", focuses on five priority areas and solutions that came out of the project. Designers, architects, and others who want to volunteer or have resources to donate, were asked to take up the challenge and contribute pro bono work for the proposed solutions. (How to go about this post project is all laid out in the article.)[UPDATE: Added volunteer details below.]
In addition to a thorough recap of the project, Walker touched on the evolution of design making a difference:
In many ways, the charrette highlighted the way that designers have shifted from creating things to creating ideas, which Casey has also seen through the Designers Accord's work. "Three years ago we focused on evolving our design practices by applying the principles of sustainability to the objects we were creating," says Casey. "Now we are applying our craft to create the kind of content and change in a way that supersedes 'design,' and is utterly more connected with society at large."
--UPDATE--
Here's how to help: If you're a design firm and want to contribute pro bono work for Brownsville, register with The 1% and send an email to designdifference [at] japansociety [dot] org with the subject line "Design Firm" alerting our team that you're ready to be matched with a Brownsville client.
If you're a designer or architect and you want to submit a design proposal for one of the five priority areas, send an email to designdifference [at] japansociety [dot] org with the subject "Design Proposal" and include a brief summary of your idea for Brownsville, as well as a link to your work.
If you'd like to volunteer or if you have resources to donate for an upcoming workday to help implement one of the ideas, send an email to designdifference [at] japansociety [dot] org with the subject "Volunteer" and you'll be added to a future email list with more information about how you can get involved.

Donburiya: 137 East 47th Street (212-980-7909)
Go for the tonkotsu ramen—a solid, simple rendition of the style, and all ingredients are cooked to perfection.
Hide-Chan Ramen: 248 East 52nd Street (212-813-1800)

Ippudo NY: 65 4th Avenue (212-388-0088)
One of the best executions of tonkotsu style ramen in NYC. Warning: the restaurant's popularity makes getting a bowl quite an ordeal.
Ise: 151 East 49th Street (212-319-6876)
Delicious standard Japanese dishes fill this restaurant with expats. Try their niboshi (dried fish based) ramen, but call ahead because it's not always on the menu.
Izakaya Riki: 141 East 45th Street (212-986-5604)
The 45th St. restaurant has a wealth of great noodle dishes. Try the su-ra-tanmen (noodle in Chinese style hot & sour broth.)
Kambi Ramen House: 351 East 14th Street (212-228-1366)
At least one JS staffer says their soy tonkotsu is the best anywhere.
Menchanko-Tei Midtown East: 131 E 45th St # 2 (212-986-6805)
Great ramen, but guests can expand their noodle horizons by trying the sumo-wrestler-in-training specialty, menchanko—giant cast-iron bowls of noodles with a wide selection of add-ins.
Menkui Tei: 60 West 56th Street (212-757-1642)
A tiny, cozy restaurant with hearty, filling ramen. Great stop after a visit to nearby MoMA or the American Folk Art Museum .
Naruto Ramen: 1596 3rd Avenue (212-289-7803)
A small, bar style ramen shop like you see everywhere in Japan, with good gyoza and solid miso and tantanmen. The service is fast and presentation is simple.
Rockmeisha: 11 Barrow Street (212-675-7775)
A late-night rockabilly izakaya haunt offering much more than Chinese noodles—including a jukebox, friendly staff and a host of creative appetizers.
Ramen Sanshiro: 249 East 49th Street (212-355-7722)
Japanese businessmen, nightowls and ramen enthusiasts know that after 11pm, the upscale restaurant SEO transforms into Ramen Sanshiro. The late-night limited menu includes two ramen choices - shio (salt) and shoyu (soy sauce). Cash only.
Souen (East Village): 326 East 6th Street (212-388-1155)
Vegetarian ramen with extras like kale and yuba that win over meat-eaters. The black sesame ramen is the best, but all worth trying, including seasonal offerings such as seafood ramen.

The East Asia Equation in American Monetary Policy
As developed economies including the United States try to crawl out of the effects of the financial crisis, China's increasing influence on the global sphere has become a critical consideration in the equations of trade and finance. Daniel Franklin, Editor of The Economist's World in 2011 opens his editorial with the following:
In a year that will delight numerologists (especially on November 11th, or 11:11:11), the most notable number will in fact be two. It will be a tale of two economies: a rich world struggling with a weak and jobless recovery, and an emerging world growing four times as fast.
At home in the U.S., the Federal Reserve introduced a monetary policy called QE or quantitative easing in 2008 in an effort to revive the ailing U.S. economy. QE involves the government buying bonds to increase the money supply in the economy in order to stimulate lending and spur economic activity. A second round of pumping money into the U.S. economy ($600 billion), commonly known as QE2, was announced in November 2011. More recently, on January26th of this year, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) reaffirmed its position to continue with the QE2.
While critics of QE2 point toward, among other things, Japan's experience of implementing quantitative easing from 2001 to 2006 and whether or not it had any impact on the economy, there has also been a build-up of voices from abroad expressing concerns against the policy. Central to the concerns of China and the emerging world is the notion that a policy such as QE2 is an attempt to drive the dollar down.
Depreciation of dollar with respect to floating-rate currencies as a result of increased supply of dollars is a predictable result as the "rise in the volume of dollars [causes] the value of each dollar to fall relative to the floating currencies, whose volume has remained constant or risen more slowly". Such an outcome worries China which has so far allowed only a slight appreciation of its currency (Renminbi, unit=Yuan) keeping its exports cheaper. The Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao explicitly mentioned that China does not want more rapid appreciation of the Renminbi keeping in mind the potential adverse impact on Chinese exporters.
While the centrality of economic concerns in policy making is of the utmost importance, countries in Asia including Japan face an equally dominant concern. A special report on China's place in the world published by The Economist links the twin concerns of Asian countries, namely economics and security, to the dual need that many Asian countries face, noting "naturally, Asian countries want to have it both ways: to resist China's power but to continue trading with it; to benefit from American security but without sacrificing Chinese commerce." The report also says China has risen as a chief trading partner for most of Asia and in the eyes of the economists and businesspeople, China getting richer means gain for everyone – the rest of Asia finding a bigger market in China and vice versa. However, from a security standpoint, the report states, "In a troubled continent like Asia, countries therefore look to America to save them from an increasingly powerful China—to 'the water far away' for protection from 'the fire nearby'".
In the specific case of the relations between Japan, China and arguably, the U.S., Professor Hugh Patrick, Director of Columbia's Center on Japanese Economy and Business, notes that rapid growth in export has played a key role in Japan recovering from recession and that the increase in exports, for the most part, come significantly from "renewed growth and increase in demand of East Asian economies, especially China". Patrick also notes that one of the major challenges Japan faces is how to deal with China. He states that the "two pressing issues that will define the relationship [between Japan and China] will be "[t]o what extent do Japan's economic interests align with those of China?" and "[w]ill the two countries be able to agree on a common set of East Asian regional rules for trade, [Federal Direct Investment], or exchange rates?" The above questions, he argues, "raise issues that extend beyond economics, and, inevitably, the United States will be involved in trying to answer them". On a much broader international level, the interconnectedness and interdependence between currency exchange rate, export and monetary policies such as quantitative easing are now culminating into a fear that a currency war may be imminent.
Akira Kojima, a Senior Fellow at the Japan Center for Economic Research (JCER) and Visiting Professor of National Graduate Institute For Policy Studies (GRIPS) articulates the current tensions and the resulting sentiment in Japan as follows:
In 2010, China overtook Japan as the second largest in the world in terms of total GDP, a position that Japan has held since 1968. How to come to terms with a rising and more demanding China will be an issue of increasing importance in Japan in 2011. Tension on the Korean peninsula is another of Japan's worries, which, together with the China issue, is forcing Japan to reconsider the nature of its alliance with the United States.
Echoing the changing dynamics of U.S.-East Asia relations in Davos at the World Economic Forum on 29 January was Prime Minister Naoto Kan of Japan. In his speech, Prime Minister Naoto Kan of Japan welcomed China overtaking Japan as the world's largest economy and said, "the world faces major changes that can be likened to a tectonic shift both in the national security and economic fields". Recognizing the importance of Japan's relationship with China, he also noted that Asia is "the centre of major tectonic changes" and against this background the Japan-U.S. alliance "is becoming even more important" and should continue to play a key role in the Asia-Pacific region.
This Thursday, February 3, Japan Society presents the expert panel What Impact Will Monetary Easing Have on U.S. & Global Economies, featuring Nomura Securities' top bank researcher Brian Foran and chief U.S. Economist David Resler, Columbia Business School's Alicia Ogawa, and Financial Times' U.S. managing editor Gillian Tett, the award-winning author of Fool's Gold and Saving the Sun. Moderated by Bloomberg News anchor and reporter Kathleen Hays, the event is free to the public with pre-registration required.

But with 200 million doses pledged for the first quarter of the year, some experts say President Biden's plan for 100 million shots in 100 days is far too modest.


Cats may be adorable, but they also consume time and energy -- and they're expensive. So what do you do if you want the companionship of a cute feline friend without the commitment? Hasbro has the answer.
Joy For All is a new range of lifelike robotic pets designed to "bring comfort, companionship and fun to your elder loved ones". The pets have realistic fur, purr and meow just like a real life cat, and are fitted with sensors that respond to petting just as a normal cat would.
Unlike a real cat, the pets also have bonus features of 'not waking you up at 5am by standing on your face' and 'knowing whether it wants to be inside or outside'.
The robotic pets will move their head towards your hand, as if demanding attention, and even roll over for a belly rub if its back is rubbed for long enough. It preserves battery by 'falling asleep' when left alone for several minutes.
The cats come in a range of colours -- orange tabby, silver and creamy white -- and cost $99 (£65). Hasbro is likely to release other companion animals in the future.
Robotic pets are currently experiencing their moment in the spotlight -- a similar robotic pet, Paro the seal, has recently been featured in Aziz Ansari's popular Netflix series Master of None, as an aid to a character's war veteran grandfather.

We caught up with the wonderfully eccentric Bull, who have represented some of the best of the York music scene for many years now – in their own words, "giving a f**k about not giving a f**k since 2011." As you can imagine, we had a lot of scope for a very funny chat with Bull about some of their recent exploits.
So, we saw that you've just released a new EP today – Das Deutsch KD – can you tell us a bit about that?
Yes! Okay, so this EP is about when we went to Germany a few weeks ago.
The plan was to tour in Germany for a bit, but in the end, we didn't have any gigs booked. We had sent thousands of emails out asking to play and got about three replies back all saying no. Still, as flights to Hamburg were literally £15 we decided to go anyway without any gigs, and the plan was to just do some busking instead.
Some of the best times we had were in Berlin. One night, we were just having a drink at a bar – and we were on the stairs and this guy just turned and said he liked Tom's hat and we got chatting. It turned out that it was Spiral Stairs, the guitarist from Pavement! We're huge Pavement fans – he also used to play in Poses, all those cool 90s bands we love. We stayed until about 9am in this bar, that was the Friday night.
And we had this house party gig set up on the Sunday – and we'd already invited this band from Holland we'd met, called Canshaker Pi, they're great, they've supported The Cribs – so we just invited Spiral Stairs to come and play as well – and he did! It was great, like 50 people came to this house party, crammed into this tiny room.
A lady called Petra had let us stay at this place called the CVJM while we were in Berlin. It was basically the YMCA, and it was full of these big Christians all playing folk music. We stayed in the basement there for six days – it was great. So, we asked the Christians if they wanted to come to the house party as well – like 10 Christians came and joined all these different groups we'd been meeting all week. One of the Christians got arrested actually! One of them called Merlin came and got locked up for spray painting or something. When we left he was still in German jail.
So, in the end, even though we didn't have any gigs booked when we went out, we still managed to play quite a few times. There was a good atmosphere. People found it hilarious that we were just going into bars and asking if we could play on the night, it felt like it was so crazy that they let us.
Then we made these EPs really cheaply afterwards – we just had a massive production line going in the kitchen. Someone was burning the discs, someone was sorting the labels, all of us were hand-decorating them, it was great. Because of the tour we've called them "Kompact Discs" as a joke and yeah, we've got a few here.
That sounds fantastic! So now that you're back in York, what have you got coming up? Obviously, you've been on the York scene for quite some time, so is there anything in particular you're looking to do?
We're hoping to do some recording now – hopefully with some of the guys at Young Thugs Records. We've also got some shows coming up.
December, York Music for Refugees presents: The Howl and the Hum / Bull / The Blueprints @ The Crescent Community Venue, York.
We'd love to get down and cover some of those shows. So, have you ever toured abroad before?
Yes, we have – we did a long route around Europe last summer, through Amsterdam, Cologne, Munich, Budapest, Prague, and Paris. We did a show with Sofar Sounds in Prague which was cool – we played with Amy Winehouse's guitarist! We'd actually like to do some more touring abroad and then come up with a themed EP based on each tour – like how we've done with this EP. Then we'd like to put it all together at some point into one record.
That sounds like such an interesting way of making a record!
Yeah, we've got some visions of having very targeted EPs as well – so if we have some tracks that are more sort of punk based or whatever, they'll all go onto one EP. And then the same with more indie songs. Then, if we want to target particular shows or play with certain people we can send over the stuff that they'll like!
And who are you listening to at the moment? Who would you say are your influences?
Also, Alvvays are great. [Tom] Yeah, the frontwoman (Molly Rankin) looked at me when I went to see them. [Dan] Yeah, she has these Mona Lisa eyes that just follow you around and make you think she's staring at you. [Tom] Noo, she was staring at me. I gave this massive cheer and she looked right at me. [Dan] Yeah, she does that to everyone… [Tom] No! She definitely looked at me and was like this guy's cool.
What do you think of the local music scene here? Which bands do you like in York at the moment?
We like Sewage Farm, …And The Hangnails, Gwen – we're all in Gwen apart from Tom. It started out as The Lungs, an acoustic two-piece, and now it's more of a full-piece band. We like Fat Spatula, Pat Butcher, Washing Machine Repairman – basically everyone that Young Thugs Records work with. Then there's the Howl and the Hum – oh god <laughs>. We always have this thing, like if we're playing with another band, would we be able to take them in a fight. And wait – can you write this down – are you sure you can get this in? We could beat the sh*t out of the Howl and the Hum. We could. I mean at least we wanna start it.
Thank you for a great chat! Ok so finally, is there anything else you'd like to mention?
Bull. Um…not really….well we're all vegans. We believe in aggressive veganism. Well, not aggressive maybe – but yeah, actually maybe someone should start the fight.
And who better to start it than Bull? If you want to see some new-age veganism and hear some fantastic live music, get down to some of their upcoming gigs this next month!

The Katzenjammer Kids, The Captain and the Kids, Maldades de dos pilluelos o Los Cebollitas (en algunos países hispanohablantes) es una tira cómica estadounidense que apareció en 1897 creada por Rudolph Dirks, inmigrante alemán, en el American Humorist, suplemento sabatino del New York Journal, propiedad del magnate William Randolph Hearst. Actualmente es distribuida por King Features Syndicate, que ha hecho de ésta la tira cómica más antigua aún en publicación.

Trayectoria editorial

Después de una serie de batallas legales entre 1912 y 1914, Dirks abandonó la organización de Hearst y comenzó una nueva tira cómica primero titulada Hans und Fritz y luego The Captain and the Kids, presentando a los mismos personajes de la tira original, la cual fue continuada por Hearst y otro artistas. Ambas versiones continuaron hasta que en 1979 The Captain and the Kids ahora dibujada por John, el hijo de Rudolph Dirks, finalizó su aparición.

Su primera publicación en España tuvo lugar en el seno de la revista Pinocho. En los años 70 la editorial vasca Buru Lan publicó las historietas de "Los Cebollitas" como complemento a "Carlitos" y Snoopy.

Argumento

The Katzenjammer Kids trataba de las travesuras de los gemelos Hans y Fritz, que buscaban poner en ridículo o enojar a los adultos. La mamá encarga al capitán la educación de los niños.  Éste junto con el inspector, un par de holgazanes, fracasan reiteradamente en su intento de disciplinar a los chicos o de obligarles a realizar distintos trabajos. Ambos meten la pata, o los niños les gastan bromas que les dejan en ridículo. Por otra parte, se crea un universo femenino en el cual la reina compite con la mamá en elegancia.En historias posteriores las relaciones entre chicos y grandes son menos hostiles. Los personajes de la isla (africanos o polinesios) también son objetos de burla, bien por los niños o por el propio guionista. Intencionalmente Dirks conservó en la tira un aspecto distintivo: varios de los personajes hablaban inglés con marcado acento alemán.

Personajes
 Hans - uno de los pilluelos.
 Fritz - otro pilluelo, hermano del anterior.
 Mama (Mamá en algunos países hispanohablantes "Doña Catana") - es la madre de los chicos.
 The Captain (El Capitán en algunos países hispanohablantes) - El antagonista principal, es un marino de edad madura que frecuenta la casa de la familia de los chicos, vive al parecer enamorado de la mamá y reemplaza a la figura paterna.
 The Inspector (El Inspector en algunos países hispanohablantes) - un anciano con barba blanca y abrigo verde, que usa sombrero de copa. Amigo y secuaz del capitán.
También hay un rey, que en sus inicios era africano y luego polinesio, así como otros niños con quienes hacen sus travesuras.

Influencias
The Katzenjammer Kids se enmarca en la tradición de niños revoltosos del cómic que parte de Max und Moritz (1865) y pasa por Zipi y Zape (1948).

Adaptaciones

La tira ha inspirado en sus inicios algunas caricaturas y filmes de imagen real mudos. También se hicieron algunos dibujos animados sonoros (por el estudio de animación International Film Service para Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, aunque sin éxito). Posteriormente aparecieron algunos dibujos para la televisión, a manera de segmentos independientes titulado "The Captain and the Kids" (en Hispanoamérica El Capitán y los Pilluelos) dentro de la serie "Archie's TV Funnies" (en Hispanoamérica Las Historietas de Archie), producida por Filmation. En la década de 1990 se publicó dentro del libro anual de monitos en Noruega.

Valentine's Day is here again. For some the day will consist of red roses, secret admirers, greeting cards from mum, gifts, chocolates, candles and champagne. Others will want to fast forward the day, avoiding the postman, the mushy love hearts in the window displays and get together with friends to celebrate at ValentinesFest – Dublins biggest singles party.
Many will also decide to travel for the occasion whether you are single or in a relationship, Dublin is a great spot to spend the most romantic day of the year. You can even visit St. Valentines Shrine at Whitefriar Street Church.
The city has lots of cosy establishments with real fires to warm you up, scenic day trips to explore the surrounding landscapes, live music entertainment, theatre performances and best of all it has some romantic dining options to soak up that special ambience for you both to enjoy. Listed below are some of my favourite romantic restaurants in Dublin. However, remember to book ahead as it is one of the busiest nights in Dublin for restaurants.
If you want to dine at the best of the best and forget the price tag then experience the equisite Lécrivian restaurant. This fine dining establishment recently won the 'Restaurant of the Year Award 2011' by Georgina Campbell mainly thanks to chef Derry Clarkes superb creations. One the menu you will find fresh Irish ingredients with a strong French influence.
The Winding Stair Café lives above a quaint old bookshop and oozes charm. The bistro has wooden floors, bow backed chairs and offers wonderful views of the River Liffey right in the heart of Dublin. Diners can choose from a pre-theatre or Á la Carte menu which offer a modern twist on traditional Irish dishes. The menu changes daily however you are sure to find plenty of fish and meat dishes such as hand-smoked haddock, wild Irish venison or succulent char-grilled Irish Aberdeen sirloin.
Balzac boasts a glamorous airy dining room fit for any Parisian brasserie. Even though diners are surrounded by elegant and plush decor it still manages to hold onto its cosy and relaxed atmosphere. With main courses starting from 17.50 it won't break the bank either.
This restaurant will leave you licking your lips every time you think of it. All the dishes at Brasserie Sixty6 are cooked to order and food is taken very seriously here. The ingredients are as fresh as they can get with all the fish, seafood and vegetables sourced from local markets daily. They are offering a Valentine's Day 3 course set menu for €33pp or A 2 course dinner for 2 consisting of selected starters, a whole fresh Lobster shared platter with all the trimmings for mains and a complimentary glass of Prosecco each for €66.
Experience Eddie Rocket's 1950's style diner complete with vintage juke boxes in your private booth to play romantic tunes for your loved one all night long. Many Irish teenage romances started here while sharing a thick malt shake or burger. Their slogan reads "we didn't invent the burger… we just perfected it" and I can't argue they really are that good. A mains and a side dish will set you back around ten euro so if your skint and still want some romantic vibes then this is the joint for you.
And if that isn't enough to get the romantic juices flowing then why not enter the Fall in Love with the City of Love competition and win a romantic week in Paris for two.

Q: How to create a function that compares a string to an array of strings in a dictionary and assigns points based on key? Here is the problem: Given a word, compute the scrabble score for that word.
I've created a dictionary to track the characters and their correlated Scrabble points. I made a function that iterates over each character in the dictionary array and if it contains the iterated character it adds a point. Unfortunately, the function doesn't tally up characters that are repeated and I can't seem to understand why...
// struct contains the Scrabble Points dictionary

struct Scrabble {
     static let scrabblePoints = [1  : ["AEIOULNRST"],
                           2  : ["DG"],
                           3  : ["BCMP"],
                           4  : ["FHVWY"],
                           5  : ["K"],
                           8  : ["JX"],
                           10 : ["QZ"]]
}

var points = 0

// I can't figure out why my function doesn't iterate over repeated characters...

func pointGenerator(word:String) -> Int {
    for (key, letters) in Scrabble.scrabblePoints {
        for i in letters {
            for j in i {
                 if word.contains(j) {
                    points += key
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return points
}
//score is inaccurate.

A: I think it helps if you have a lookup from letter to points
extension String {
    var scrabbleScore: Int {
        let letterPoints: [Character:Int] = [
            "A":1,
         "B":3,
         "C":3,
         "D":2,
         "E":1
        ]
        return self.uppercased().reduce(into: 0) { sum, letter in
            sum += letterPoints[letter] ?? 0
        }
    }
}

"BEAD".scrabbleScore // 7

You could also write it like so, which avoids the hashing:
extension String {
    var scrabbleScore: Int {
        reduce(into: 0) { sum, letter in
            sum += letter.scrabbleValue
        }
    }
}

extension Character {
    var scrabbleValue: Int {
        switch self {
        case "A", "E", "I", "a", "e", "i": return 1
        case "B", "C", "b", "c": return 3
        case "D", "d": return 2
        default: return 0
        }
    }
}

To answer your question: you only add in the points for a given letter once, no matter how many times the word contains the letter:
if word.contains(j) {
                    points += key
                }

You would need to add in the points 3 times if the word contained j 3 times, for example.

A: What words are you testing? It seems like the issue is that you're likely comparing lowercased characters to your uppercased Scrabble characters.
With that said, I think your solution is a little over-complicated. For instance, why are values in scrabblePoints an array? If the values were just Strings, you could eliminate one of your for loops in generatePoints.
More importantly, let's rethink the way you've setup scrabblePoints. The point of a Dictionary is to provide you with direct lookup. By iterating over the characters, you're removing the benefit of a Dictionary. What if, instead, you structured your Dictionary like so:
static let scrabblePoints = ['A'  : 1,
                       'B'  : 3,
                       'C'  : 3,
                       // and so on for all 26 letters
                       ]

This way, you directly lookup the point value for any given character. So your generatePoints becomes:
func pointGenerator(word: String) -> Int {
    for char in word {
        points += Scrabble.scrabblePoints[char.uppercased()]
    }
    return points
}

A: Make a function in Scrabble that returns the point for a character by finding it in the dictionary
static func point(for character: Character) -> Int {
    Scrabble.scrabblePoints.first(where: { $0.value.contains(character.uppercased()) })?.key ?? 0
}

Then use it in your function
func pointGenerator(word:String) -> Int {
    word.reduce(into: 0, { $0 += Scrabble.point(for: $1) })
}

Note that I simplified this by changing your dictionary to be of type [Int: String],
static let scrabblePoints = [1  : "AEIOULNRST",
                             2  : "DG",
                             3  : "BCMP",
...

A: Try this:
       func pointGenerator(word:String) -> Int {
        for (key, letters) in Scrabble.scrabblePoints {
            for subWord in letters {

                     if word.contains(subWord) {
                        points += key
//                        print(points)
                    }
                }
            }
//        print(points)

        return points
    }

Need a Consiglieri.... Informed Comments Would be Great Too
By Ed Scarpo Thursday, May 08, 2014
I have this strange proclivity to spend a lot of money accumulating research material like this 800-plus-page tome, full of records covering New York mobsters in the 1940s and 1950s. I would hate to have to put a single figure on all the cash I've doled out buying various books and electronic files. Now I gotta earn some money back or at least start showing something for my efforts....
Gonna write a book. Already started it actually. I have a rough outline to work from and am just finishing up some research.
Ironically, my giant collection of New York police files really has nothing to do with this particular work.
Only thing is, it's more novella length. I could try to expand on it, but I don't want to pad it. That's why I am going to play around with some research, maybe expand on the backgrounds of some tangential characters in the story. It's nonfiction and no, I ain't gonna tell no one a word about it... It has nothing to do with the Ndrangheta or Canada, or even the Colombo war... (I've dropped some false hints here and there for busybodies...)
I'd rather go the traditional route but Kindle seems to offer so much potential... I believe my writing and research are tight; the only problem, as I say, is length. I don't see this thing as coming in at much more than 100 pages.
Any opinions out there? Funzi? Any fellow scribes have advice? Any idea how to sell a 50-70 page book? Is Kindle the way to go? I'll give everyone who comes to this site some kind of discount on the thing, of course -- assuming the subject interests you....Thanks in advance...
scarface May 8, 2014, 9:47:00 PM
If a book is great, I will happily pay $9.99 for it whatever it's length. 100 great pages is better than 200 pages with 1/2 filler. Electronic publishing does allow you to charge less for shorter works and still be paid. Write it the length it should be and then figure out the price.

Hey Ed, my names Russ and I am addicted to buying mob books. It started with Bloodletters and Badmen in the late seventies and shows no signs of abating. The most exciting thing for a grizzled, veteran mobophile is discovering stories on people I've never heard of like Frank Sheeran or Nick Calabrese. Why not a book about some of the sleeper mobsters, the guys who managed to fly under the radar or some of the colorful old timers who never garnered big press. Just a thought
Hey Ed, I've been hooked on mob books since Bloodletters and Badmen in the seventies and there's nothing more exciting to a grizzled old mobophile than finding stories about crooks I've never heard of like Frank Sheeran or Tommy Pitera. How about digging through the archives and putting together a book about some of the sleepers or some of the more colorful old timers who haven't been dragged out into the light yet. Maybe give them each a chapter. That is a book I'd shell out for.
Ed Scarpo May 9, 2014, 1:52:00 AM
Scarface - great point, that's what I think I'll do, only priced lower....Amazon I believe has pricing policies.... Russ, I've actually been approached by a publisher last year to do just that. I put that on hold.... really, I need a lawyer to read the contract. I may be involved with another project that, if it happens, would change my life. Lot of possibilities but nothing solid -- Samo, samo! Thanks again!!
Anonymous May 9, 2014, 9:31:00 AM
The histories, trials, and stories of Dominic " Quiet Dom" Cirillo" and "Joe Waverly" Cacase would be a good starting point for your book.
Contact Anthony M. Destefano and ask him how he did it. The Ugly Rise and Fall of a N.Y. Mobster is a great book.
Ed Scarpo May 9, 2014, 1:43:00 PM
Ahhh, I doubt he'd have time for that. Funny you mention him, he's one of my favorite writers....I think due to length (50 pages) I'm gonna go Kindle route. I have never self-published anything other than this blog; it's not my favorite route. But it's not a full-length work. Unless I maybe add a couple of other stories......Hmmmm. Or maybe there's a way to expand the work to 200 pages. There are larger "trends" I could tie into it. I could work other stories in, as well. This comment section is great! I do a lot of ruminating while writing and you guys stimulate a lot of ideas.... thanks! You too Quiet Dom!

How about a book on the Pleasant Avenue crew? Kindle is convenient, but sometimes I look thumbing through an actual book if it's good and there are photos to boot.
Old School-Anonymous
Great idea for next one, Old School! Appreciate it...I'll email you some other ideas I had, if you don't mind....
Funzi May 10, 2014, 12:22:00 PM
Ed you were on point with the Colombo War.....someone is going to cash in on that. Why not you!?!
Ed Scarpo May 10, 2014, 1:39:00 PM
You're right. But I haves access to exclusive information for the one I'm working on now. The Colombo war is a great topic and if this first one works I'm sure I'll be looking to write another.... you wouldn't be interested in editing/proofing the work I'm writing now, would you?
Funzi May 10, 2014, 8:30:00 PM
Sure, it would be more proofing then editing like you said but I have no problem reading and letting you know what I think. I just finished the new Alexander Hortis book so I could use something new to read. You have my email...send it over when you get a chance.
Funzi May 9, 2014, 5:59:00 PM
What about your friend DeLucca? If he is what he says he is I bet he could fill a couple of books.
I could write a book on the emails he sends me! Not the stories I publish, the emails he writes to me.... that's how his stories started. I told him his emails were so interesting I'd like to post them....! You wouldn't believe the stuff I edit out of the stories.... the murder and wanton criminality.... I make no claims for him; as far as I know he is a writer with a big imagination. How could he truly be a Camorrista and write about it like that? I believe he's using a farcical Fellini-esque Italian style of writing wherein you exaggerate and put yourself in the shoes of another to create an experience for them.... Of course Charles, feel free to answer if you should see this... I find his stories colorful, informative and interesting... and his stuff gets more page views than mine!

Q: React-Transition-Group: findDOMNode is deprecated in StrictMode I am using the animation library react-transition-group in react for animating a TODO list using <TransitionGroup> and <CSSTransition> as shown below

   <TransitionGroup className="todo-list">
      {incompleteTodos.map((task) => (
      <CSSTransition key={task.id} timeout={500} classNames={styles}>

            <TodoTask
               todo={task}
               onClick={(todo) =>
            toggleTodo({ data: todo })}
            />

      </CSSTransition>
      ))}
   </TransitionGroup>

But I am getting the error in the console as below:

I read about using nodeRef={nodeRef} on the CSSTransition element mentioned in this official changelog and git issue as shown below but then it started behaving weird i.e. some of the elements are not appearing properly in UI as shown in the screenshot below code snippets:
const nodeRef = React.useRef(null)

and

   <TransitionGroup className="todo-list">
      {incompleteTodos.map((task) => (
      <CSSTransition
         key={task.id}
         timeout={500}
         classNames={styles}
         nodeRef={nodeRef}
         >

            <TodoTask
               todo={task}
               onClick={(todo) =>
            toggleTodo({ data: todo })}
            />

      </CSSTransition>
      ))}
   </TransitionGroup>

This screenshot is taken after applying nodeRef in CSSTransition

A: You need to make a separate ref for each of the CSSTransitions.  The easiest way to do that is to make a custom component:

   <TransitionGroup className="todo-list">
      {incompleteTodos.map((task) =>
        <TransitionTodo key={task.id} todo={task}/>}
  </TransitionGroup>

function TransitionTodo({todo}) {
  nodeRef = useRef();
  return (
    <CSSTransition
       timeout={500}
       classNames={styles}
       nodeRef={nodeRef}
     >

          <TodoTask
             todo={todo}
             onClick={(todo) =>
               toggleTodo({ data: todo })}
          />

    </CSSTransition>
  );
}
