South Korean Female Kickboxer Beat Up By The Three Male "Comedians"
Here's the Cage Potato description of what happens in this video: "Known as 'Beautiful Fighter' to her fans, South Korean kickboxing star Lim Su-Jeong has become something of a martyr in her home country after an appearance on the Japanese TV show 'Flames Sports Competition' turned ugly last month."
Seems that producers of "Flames Sports Competition" presented her opponents as comedians but dudes were, in fact, trained in the martial arts. And they wore protective gear to do so. That's not very nice, even if Lim Su-Jeong was Len Su-Jeong.
She reportedly suffered serious injuries (though nothing Spinksian is evident in this nine-minute video). The televised humiliation stoked some South Korean anger at Japan with plans "to launch a cyber attack on several right-wing Japanese sites on August 15, which commemorates Korea's independence from Japan in 1945" (though none such attack was reported).


Voluntariado ecología Polonia, con todos los gastos pagados por Erasmus+, para jóvenes residentes en España menores de 30 años.
We are looking for 2 volunteers on an already accepted project. It will start on March-April for 1 year.
Foundation will offer support in learning Polish language and culture by organizing or sending volunteers to Polish lessons.
short-term volunteers (up to 2 months) in his/her room who visit CampoSfera especially in summer.
Volunteers will have access to bathroom with showers and a toilet. These spaces are also open for use by the groups hosted by us.
They will also have access to the kitchen where they can prepare meals for themselves.
Other rooms available for the volunteers are: dining room, chill-out room and workshop.
The volunteers will receive pocket money in the amount of the equivalent of 3 EUR (around 12 PLN) per day per person. The money will be sent to the volunteers personal bank account that will be opened after their arrival to Poland.
For food support the volunteers will receive 330 PLN per month per person.
Additionally, the volunteers will receive 70 PLN per month per person travel support. This money is given to allow volunteers to travel to bigger cities in free time every weekend. However, the volunteers may spend them differently if they wish.
village on the border of three regions. It is a peaceful place, well connected with Kraków (airport), Kielce and Katowice (airport), the capitals of the three regions.
Klimontów is a small village with 300 inhabitants. There is one shop in the village.
There is no: supermarkets, bars, cash exchange office. It is a typical small Polish village.
The location of the Foundation is connected with the nature of the project – ecology and rural development!
can make bigger shopping and visit a restaurant or a bar.
We encourage the volunteers to visit bigger cities in free time (weekend). Especially Kielce, where our partner organization hosts 13 EVS volunteers who are frequent guests of us and Krakow, which is a touristic and cultural place.
There are 2 bikes available for volunteers' use.
3. Limiting garbage production (shopping, not using disposable cutlery, dishes etc.). We are heading towards the ZERO WASTE philosophy.
Foundation was established in 2013 by 4 people who have been involved in 3rd sector activities for many years.
The aim of Foundation is to initiate activities and projects that will connect education with sustainable development, ecology and innovation. In August 2013, only 4 months after registration, the Foundation signed an agreement with the municipality in swietokrzyskie voivodeship. Within the agreement the Foundation have rented a building after a closed village school of 550m2 with the surrounding area of 1,3 ha for 25 years for the purpose of Foundation's activities. The building has been renovated in mid 2014. The currecnt state of the building allows the foundation to host groups up to 30 people for a longer period.
The bulding is heated, it includes bedrooms, showers, toilets, training rooms, kitchen, dining room and a workshop.
The main target group of Foundation CampoSfera's activities is youth, local and international. We want to give the local community an opportunity to meet with representatives of various European and world cultures, to learn foreign languages and be inspired by youth from all over the world.
We own one dog who lives outside. He is big but friendly and playful.
– organizing small fests in various places in the region in cooperation with the local organizations and cultural institutions.
openness to diversity. Some workshops should also deal with the immigration crisis in Europe to fight prejudice among youth. Volunteers can also prepare workshops and meetings on topic that they find interesting for them.
– providing guidance and support for local youth who would like to take part in international youth exchanges or volunteering (EVS or other opportunities).
2. Work connected with the Foundation's building and area around.
– taking care of the garden: weeding, planting, watering, sowing, harvesting, etc. – the garden will not only have decorative function. We have created a permaculture garden. It produces vegetables for the use of all inhabitants.
– organizing the area according to the season: mowing, snow removal, raking leaves, etc.
– works connected with some finishing work in the building: painting walls, drilling, nailing, cutting, furniture renovation, etc. – the building offers a workshop with many tools which our volunteers use for their creative work (instrument creation, making wood furniture, renovating old furniture, handcraft).
Important part of the Foundation tasks are international and local projects happening in our site.
If it is possible, volunteers may be included in workshops happening during the events.
WE ARE ABSOLUTELY OPEN TO VOLUNTEERS' INNITIATIVES CONNECTED TO OUR FIELD OF INTEREST.
This may include arrangement of the area/building as well as events for the local community that the volunteers would like to organize.
We would especially welcome people who are interested in ecology, permaculture, gardening, and/or working with the small local community in rural areas (especially kids and youth). Our main concern is that the volunteers will find the project interesting, personally developing, fruitful it terms of knowledge and skills and simply satisfying. In our opinion, people with the above mentioned features and interest would feel most fulfilled.
Foundation is a special place where you can find a place of solitude and calmness while working close to nature (especially in early spring and late autumn) but also a place where many people come and go and a lot happens (especially in summer). In our site the volunteers will have a chance to meet people from all over the world who come to volunteer for a shorter or longer period of time. So far we have hosted volunteers from Colombia, Mexico, Japan, Malaysia, Spain, Sweden, Romania, Germany, the US, Canada, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Andora, France, Turkey, Taiwan, Croatia. We also host international project groups of 15 up to 40 people. In summer we organize music festival for the local community and outdoor cinema.

Swiss home owners rush to save energy
A thermal camera checks the energy efficiency of this house in Cernier, canton Neuchâtel. swissinfo.ch
A growing number of home owners in Switzerland are seeking to renovate their buildings to cut energy bills and carbon dioxide emissions.

But the new national ten-year building renovation stimulus programme is oversubscribed and criticised as inadequate. Meanwhile, community energy-saving projects like the one at Cernier in canton Neuchâtel are pushing ahead to become role models.
Applications for federal and cantonal renovation grants under the new "Buildings Programme", which has been running for just over a year, have exploded: 30,000 in 2010, double the expected figure.
"The Buildings Programme is a true success story," Beat Vonlanthen, president of the Conference of Cantonal Energy Directors, told reporters in Bern on Thursday.
In all, 26,000 requests have been formally accepted, worth SFr204 million ($223 million).
But the stimulus package is a victim of its own success, as this figure exceeds the SFr133 million available annually to encourage Swiss home owners to insulate walls, floors and roofs, and replace draughty old windows.
The huge demand has forced the authorities to tighten up future allocation criteria. Under new measures from April 1 to eliminate small requests, grants will be awarded for work starting at a minimum of SFr3,000 rather than SFr1,000, and support to replace windows will drop from SFr70 per square metre to SFr40.
"It's regrettable that we are going slightly in the wrong direction," Marc Schaffner, head of Neuchâtel's energy service, told Swiss national television. "Politicians need to be aware of the problems and free up additional funds, especially as people seem willing to invest."
Stefano Giamboni, an expert with the Swiss environmental engineering office Planair, said it was a shame, but such a move "may incite homeowners to actually do more renovation work".
"Drop in ocean"
It is estimated that buildings consume and generate over 40 per cent of energy and CO2 in Switzerland. About 1.5 million homes reportedly need urgent renovation work but only between one and two per cent are getting done each year, while public interest is growing.
Switzerland has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 per cent over 1990 levels by 2020, and says 2.2 million tons of CO2 emissions can be saved by energy-saving improvements to buildings.
"The number of people making improvements to their homes has increased dramatically since 2009. People really want to know what they can do themselves," Patrick Hofstetter of WWF Switzerland told swissinfo.ch. "But the total number is still just a drop in the ocean."
WWF backs a recent Senate move to raise federal funding of the "Buildings Programme" from SFr200 million to SFr300 million per year, while also seeking an increase in the levy on heating fuel which funds the programme. The House of Representatives still has to vote on the initiative.
This subsidy phase is useful, said Hofstetter, as it helps trigger renovation and develops expertise among small companies. It also prepares the ground for a second regulatory period in 2015-2020, when energy building standards are set to get stricter.
While individual home owners across Switzerland hesitate whether to take the renovation plunge, a large number of residents in Cernier, canton Neuchâtel, are going much further by participating in a ground-breaking pilot project, known as "Solution", aimed at securing the community's energy autonomy by 2014
The European Union-backed initiative, which is taking place in similar-sized villages in Austria, Croatia and Finland, has been warmly embraced by the Cernier authorities and population. About 70 home owners, out of a population of 2,000, initially applied for Solution renovation grants, financed by the EU.
Plainair engineers implementing the project are currently completing feasibility studies of 35 public and private buildings where they estimate at least 50 per cent energy savings can be made. Renovation work will then start in the second half of 2011.
In parallel, 50 buildings will be fitted with solar panels and geothermal heat pumps. The village will be hooked up to a nearby wind turbine at Gurnigel, which can generate two megawatts of power. A community distance heating system – the biggest in Switzerland – using biogas produced from wood will also be installed.
By 2014 renewable energies should cover 90 per cent of the villagers electricity needs (currently 50 per cent) and 70 per cent of heating needs (currently five per cent).
"The project is very appealing and positive," Christophe Tivollier, owner of a four-storey 1903 house in the upper part of Cernier, told swissinfo.ch. "It allows us to make savings and have simple solutions to consume differently."
"People are always hesitant to change but we have to embrace this initiative. I'm certain that Cernier will set a good example for others and that we have to go in this direction."
CUTTING CO2 EMISSIONS
As a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol, Switzerland in 1997 committed itself to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In an initial phase CO2 emissions were to be reduced 10% over 1990 levels by 2010.
The government foresees raising the target to at least a 20% cut in emissions by 2020, partly through a CO2 tax, an emissions trading system and compensation measures outside Switzerland.
Parliament approved the 20% target, but wants cuts to be achieved through measures within Switzerland only. Discussions are continuing on extending the CO2 tax from heating oil, gas and coal to also include petrol.
Environmental groups collected enough signatures for a nationwide vote on separate proposals for a 30% cut in emissions as well as for a ban on SUVs.
The EU, which does not include Switzerland, has also set a 20% emission cut. The 27-nation bloc has set targets for individual member countries and approved a number of measures.
Buildings Programme
The ten-year "Buildings Programme", launched in January 2010, is funded by a charge levied on heating oil at a rate of nine cents per litre. One-third of the total amount generated annually, or SFr200 million, goes towards the programme. Of this total, SFr133 million goes towards the renovation of private and public buildings and SFr67 million towards renewable energies. The cantons contribute an additional SFr80-100 million.
The previous Climate Cent Foundation's Building programme was phased out at the end of 2009. It was succeeded by the Swiss federal and cantonal Buildings Programme.
Under the Climate Cent Foundation's Building programme 8,750 projects have been supported to the tune of SFr190 million. Between June 2006 and October 2010, 6,750 projects were completed.

100 Resilient Cities Network
Christchurch has been selected as one of the 33 cities worldwide to join the 100 Rockefeller Foundation's 100 Resilient Cities Network.
The global challenge to select cities for the Network had attracted applications from 372 cities. Each city was asked to present a clear and compelling description of how they are approaching and planning for resilience. The Foundation said that Christchurch's proposal stood out among these. The judging panel included former presidents Bill Clinton and Olosegun Obasanjo. Melbourne, Australia, was the other city selected from Oceania.
As part of the 100 Resilient Cities Network, Christchurch will receive support to hire a Chief Resilience Officer, create a resilience strategy, and receive access to tools, technical support and resources for implementing a comprehensive resilience plan.

President Trump will headline a rally in Wisconsin later this month on the same night as the White House correspondents' dinner, his campaign announced Tuesday.
The event at the Resch Center in Green Bay on Saturday, April 27 will mark the third straight year that Trump has skipped the black-tie gala and held a Make America Great Again rally.
"President Trump looks forward to sharing the successes of his administration with the great people of Wisconsin," Michael Glassner, chief operating officer of Trump's campaign, said in a statement.
The campaign said the rally will mark Trump's 18th in Wisconsin and his third in Green Bay since he began running for president in 2015.
In 2017, Trump became the first president to skip the dinner since Ronald Reagan in 1981. Reagan missed that year's dinner because he was recovering from an assassination attempt — although he delivered remarks by phone.
Trump opted to hold a rally in Harrisburg, Pa., rather than attend the 2017 dinner. He skipped the dinner again last year and addressed supporters at a rally in Washington Township, Mich.
Tuesday's announcement came one day after Trump held an economy-themed event in Minnesota, a state he hopes to pick up in 2020. Trump touted the effects of the 2017 tax cuts he championed, and what he called soaring jobs numbers. He claimed that the U.S. economy is at its best point ever, and ticked through Minnesota-specific statistics claiming tax cuts, income growth and "7,500 brand new mining, logging, and construction jobs" in the state.
"I want to tell you that a lot of progress has been made by our country in the last two and a half years," Trump said at a roundtable discussion with small business owners and others gathered on the shop floor at a truck and heavy equipment company in Burnsville, about 15 miles outside Minneapolis.
"We're already starting to think about our next election, and it's moving along," Trump said.
Trump's visit to a congressional district that flipped to Democrats in the 2018 midterm election highlighted shifting politics in the state that Trump thinks he can turn to his advantage in 2020.
Trump lost Minnesota to Hillary Clinton by only 1.5 points in 2016 and hopes to build a winning coalition of rural and suburban voters to take the state next year. Winning Minnesota could help offset a loss in Michigan or Wisconsin, both states he won in 2016 but that present a steep challenge now.
The event was planned before the latest controversy surrounding Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat representing a neighboring district. On Friday, Trump had tweeted an edited video of the freshman Democrat, who is Muslim and a Somali immigrant, in which images from the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 2001 were interspersed with remarks she made decrying discrimination against Muslims following the attacks.
Omar issued a statement Sunday evening on what she said are increased death threats against her following the president's video.
"Violent crimes and other acts of hate by right-wing extremists and white nationalists are on the rise in this country and around the world. We can no longer ignore that they are being encouraged by the occupant of the highest office in the land," Omar wrote.
"The truth is, Donald Trump is a rich businessman using the presidency and his tax bill to make money for himself and his rich friends," Martin said.
Although the White House-sponsored event was supposed to be about policy, not politics, Trump made several direct appeals to Minnesota voters.
"These things don't happen by accident," he said of economic gains under his presidency. "And it can all go away very quickly. You put the wrong people in office, everything that I've done and we've done as a group . . . can be undone, and bad, bad things can happen," Trump said.

Traditional PFAS analysis only targets the key analytes and therefore may or may not greatly underestimate the presence of PFAS in the environment and the Total Oxidisable Precursor Assay and the determination Total Organic Fluorine have been suggested as means of exposing these underling cryptic PFAS.
Total Oxidisable Precursor Assay
The Total Oxidisable Precursor Assay (TOP assay or TOPA) is a standardised pre-treatment of water samples or sample extracts (soil and water) designed to expose underlying PFAS not amenable to standard analysis. Water samples, sample extracts (soil or water) or diluted foam products are incubated with potassium persulfate (60 mM) and sodium hydroxide (0.125 M) at 85°C for 6 hours. Samples are neutralised and then run for the full suite of PFAS compounds [3,4].
Note that this is an empirical test and comparable results can only be achieved by precisely following the conditions of the test.
Under the conditions of the assay it is expected that fluortelomer sulfonates are broken down to shorter chain carboxylates by cleavage of the non-fluorinated portion of the molecule. Perfluorinated carboxylates and sulfonates are stated to remain intact under the conditions of the assay.
Queensland Operational Policy on the Management of Firefighting Foam
The Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection released its "Foam Policy" in August 2016 [5]. ALS now offers testing following application of the TOP "digest" to provide this information.
This policy is the first Australian guidance that recognises the potential contribution of cryptic PFAS to the environment. This also provides guidelines for using the TOPA for the assessment of soils, waters and foam products in QLD.
Particular guidance is given for the evaluation of the suitability of foam products for use (table 6.2.2). Foams where TOPA (C7 – C14) results are > 50mg/kg (as fluorine) must be withdrawn from use. Similarly Table 6.4.2 A specifies levels for wastewaters, with criteria for PFOS and PFOA (0.3 μg/L) and Sum of *TOPA C4-C14 plus C4-C8 sulfonates (1 μg/L).
ALS Reporting
ALS provides TOP pre-treatment and reporting of TOP sums per the Queensland foam management policy in soils, waters and foam products. ALS will perform the usual sample preparation used for waters (including low level waters), diluted foam products and soils followed by oxidation of the sample under the standard conditions for the TOP assay.
Please note that only the full analytical suite is available for this assay in order to account for the full range of products produced post-oxidation.
In addition to large compounds the following will be reported:
Sum of TOP for C7 to C14 compounds as fluorine – applicable to foam products (0.01 mg/kg)
Sum of TOP C4-C14 carboxylates plus C4-C8 sulfonates in soils (0.0002 mg/kg)
Sum of TOP C4-C14 carboxylates plus C4-C8 sulfonates in waters (0.002 to 0.01 µg/L, standard and low-level)
Oxidation of AFFF Products
Over the last six months, ALS has performed numerous oxidation trials in order to obtain a deeper knowledge of the Total Oxidisable Precursor Assay. This includes the impact of concentration plus the differences between first generation and modern foams.
A number of foam products were subject to the TOP alkaline persulfate digest and analysed by LCMSMS. Three products were examined, 3M :Lightwater ™, Ansulite™ and Aer-O-Water ™ The first being the classic pre-2000 AFFF and the latter two examples of more recent short-chain foams. Note that only the Aer-O-Water product was in its original packaging whilst the other products had been supplied as subsamples of uncertain origin.
Note that only the Aer-O-Water product was in its original packaging whilst the other products had been supplied as subsamples of uncertain origin.
Figure 1 indicates significant growth in total PFAS following oxidation for Ansulite and Aer-O-Water. Growth of perfluorocarboxylic acids in 3m Lightwater may be attributable to unspecified "fluoroalkyl amide derivatives" described in a 1996 MSDS from 3M in Australia. The outcomes of these digests are consistent with results reported in the literature on this subject [6].
In figure 2 the concentration of the AFFF can affect both qualitative and quantitative outcome of the oxidation process. Oxidation at high dilutions leads to full conversion of the material to carboxylic acids. At higher concentrations, this conversion is less than complete which indicated exhaustion of the oxidant. At a 500-fold dilution, 6:2-FTS is a large component of the composition which is consistent with the presence of fluorotelomer sulfonamido betaines in some modern-day products [2].

The Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders describes one of the four defining features of personality disorders as interpersonal difficulties. Most often, the person's difficulty forming and maintaining relationships is tied in with the problematic symptoms of their mental condition. Similarly, those who have endured TBIs often suffer from social isolation as a result of the symptoms of their condition. Brain injuries can result in a loss of old friends and difficulties forming new relationships. Depending on the victim's age, the injury may also disrupt developmental processes causing increased isolation and social anxiety.
TBIs frequently cause 'emotionally liability' when certain areas of the brain are damaged. A person's emotions can become unpredictable, extreme and unstable. Pathological laughter or crying occurs when a person spontaneously begins uncontrollably laughing or crying as a resulting from the brain injury. This seemingly dramatic reaction mimics emotional dysregulation commonly experienced by those suffering from borderline and other cluster b personality disorders. Emotional dysregulation often manifests through mood swings, problems within relationships and impulsive behaviors. Similarly, cluster c personality disorders like PTSD also suffer from emotional dysregulation through avoidance, anxiety, anger, sadness, and guilt.
Cluster b mental disorders are characterized by an overall disregard for the feelings and rights of other individuals. An inability to empathize with other human beings often results in hostile, aggressive or manipulative behaviors that can become apparent as early as childhood. In cluster b individuals, these traits are inflexible. Similarly, anger and aggression are common problems after a TBI. Too much stimulation like sudden noise, increased anxiety and stress from the injury, pain, fatigue and increased rigid thinking all create agitation and impulsive anger in the victim. Unlike personality disordered individuals, victims of TBI can gradually develop a greater ability to control their actions through emotional rehabilitation.
Flexibility allows healthy individuals to properly balance their impulses most of the time, but one of the core features that defines mental illnesses is over or under-regulated impulse control which often leads to behavioral disinhibition. Cluster c disordered individuals often manifest these symptoms through avoidance, a reluctance to try new things and hyper-vigilance. These individuals often feel a need to overly control their impulses and environments. Similarly, even mild brain injuries that are not deemed 'traumatic' can cause impulse control problems. Recent research published by the Neurologic Rehabilitation Institute at Brookhaven Hospital showed the impulsiveness level in all rat test subjects increased after brain injuries for up to eight weeks.
Nearly half of all individuals with a TBI will suffer depression within their first year of injury, and about 67 percent will be affected within seven years. Several factors like physical changes, emotional responses to the injury and other events unrelated to the incident put TBI victims at a higher risk of developing depression. Similarly, depressive disorder is characterized by depressed thoughts, anxiety, and sadness.
Highly cited research suggests that around 5.3 million individuals around the globe suffer from long-term complications as a result of their brain injuries. While research has grown exponentially, scientists have only touched the surface of studying the links between mental illness and traumatic brain injury.


Problem statement: In order to build an utterance training system for Indonesian language, a speech recognition system designed for Indonesian is necessary. However, the system hardly works well due to the pronunciation variants of non-native utterances may lead to substitution/deletion error. This research investigated the pronunciation variant and proposes acoustic model adaptation to improve performance of the system. Approach: The proposed acoustic model adaptation worked in three steps: to analyze pronunciation variant with knowledge-based and data-derived methods; to align knowledge-based and data-derived results in order to list frequently mispronounced phones with their variants; to perform a state-clustering procedure with the list obtained from the second step. Further, three Speaker Adaptation (SA) techniques were used in combination with the acoustic model adaptation and they are compared each other. In order to evaluate and tune the adaptation techniques, perceptual-based evaluation by three human raters is performed to obtain the "true" recognition results. Results: The proposed method achieved an average gain in Hit + Rejection (the percentage of correctly accepted and correctly rejected utterances by the system as the human raters do) of 2.9 points and 2 points for native and non-native subjects, respectively, when compared with the system without adaptation. Average gains of 12.7 and 6.2 points for native and non-native students in Hit + Rejection were obtained by combining SA to the acoustic model adaptation. Conclusion/Recommendations: Performance evaluation of the adapted system demonstrated that the proposed acoustic model adaptation can improve Hit even though there is a slight increase of False Alarm (FA, the percentage of incorrectly accepted utterances by the system of which the human raters reject). The performance of the proposed acoustic model adaptation depends strongly on the effectiveness of state-clustering procedure to recover only in-vocabulary words. For future research, a confidence measure to discriminate between in-vocabulary and out-vocabulary words will be investigated.

very desirable if one wants to create a subset/local-use version of EAD.
element/attribute definitions can be included within the schema.
not be easily (or "officially") validated inside METS. Now, it can.
Hope this helps. Perhaps others can add to this or clarify as well.

Public Release: 12-Jan-2009
DNA testing may unlock secrets of medieval manuscripts
Thousands of painstakingly handwritten books produced in medieval Europe still exist today, but scholars have long struggled with questions about when and where the majority of these works originated. Now a researcher from North Carolina State University is using modern advances in genetics to develop techniques that will shed light on the origins of these important cultural artifacts.
Many medieval manuscripts were written on parchment made from animal skin, and NC State Assistant Professor of English Timothy Stinson is working to perfect techniques for extracting and analyzing the DNA contained in these skins with the long-term goal of creating a genetic database that can be used to determine when and where a manuscript was written. "Dating and localizing manuscripts have historically presented persistent problems," Stinson says, "because they have largely been based on the handwriting and dialect of the scribes who created the manuscripts - techniques that have proven unreliable for a number of reasons."
Stinson says genetic testing could resolve these issues by creating a baseline using the DNA of parchment found in the relatively small number of manuscripts that can be reliably dated and localized. Each manuscript can provide a wealth of genetic data, Stinson explains, because a typical medieval parchment book includes the skins of more than 100 animals.
Once Stinson has created a baseline of DNA markers with known dates and localities, he can take samples from manuscripts of unknown origin. Stinson can then determine what degree of relationship there is between the animals whose skins were used in manuscripts of unknown origin and those used in the baseline manuscripts. Stinson hopes this DNA comparison will enable him to identify genetic similarities that would indicate the general time and locale where a book was written.
On a larger scale, Stinson says, this research "will also allow us to trace the trade route of parchments" throughout the medieval world - a scholarly achievement that would provide a wealth of data on the evolution of the book industry during the Middle Ages.
Stinson will be presenting the findings of his early research in this area at the annual meeting of the Bibliographical Society of America in New York City on Jan. 23. Stinson is one of three researchers asked to participate in the society's New Scholars Program for 2009. The work that Stinson will be presenting was funded by grants from the Digital Research and Curation Center at Johns Hopkins University and the Council on Library and Information Resources.

Library of Virginia's "To Be Sold"
By Daniel Jones | December 17th, 2014
An exhibit at the Library of Virginia remembers Richmond's role in the American slave trade.
"The story of the American slave trade is not an easy story to tell," said University of Virginia professor Maurie McInnis one recent morning as To Be Sold: Virginia and the American Slave Trade opened at the Library of Virginia.
"It's not a story that can be told with a few texts and documents," McInnis added. "It's very much the story of people."
The exhibit, of which McInnis is curator, is based on her book Slaves Waiting for Sale: Abolitionist Art and the American Slave Trade.
Some 12 million Africans had been brought forcibly to the New World as part of an international slave trade; about 500,000 of those were taken to the United States. To Be Sold, however, focuses on the so-called "internal slave trade" that followed the international slave trade.
To Be Sold reminds people how Richmond was the leader of this domestic slave trade – the largest forced migration in U.S. history, moving some two-thirds of a million enslaved people from the Upper South to the Cotton South.
In Virginia, slave trading became an industry that would fuel Southern enterprises dependent on the high demand from New England's booming cotton textile industry. By the 1840s, Richmond was the largest slave-trading center in the Upper South. In 1857, the local industry was estimated at $4 million, the equivalent of more than $440 million in today's dollars.
ART TELLS THE STORY
In 1853, traveling British artist Eyre Crowe attended several Richmond slave auctions, witnessing the brutal process of buying and selling enslaved human beings, which today would be considered human trafficking.
His resulting paintings – Slaves Waiting to Be Sold from the Heinz family Foundation and After the Sale: Slaves Going South from the Chicago History Museum – depicted the cruel reality slaves endured until 1865, when Congress passed the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery in the states.
Well-preserved items, such as implements that confined slaves, auction flags and 150-year-old auction books, are included in the exhibit and provide insight into the details of the era generally not discussed at length in history books.
Also telling the story of Richmond's slave district are more than 70 maps, as well as paintings and photographs, insurance policies, bills of sale and other items drawn largely from the Library of Virginia's extensive collections.
'A POINT OF PROGRESS'
To Be Sold doesn't just explain how Richmond was the "epicenter" of the domestic slave trade, however. It offers perspective on today.
A video accompanying the exhibit explains why now, after 150 years after slavery was abolished in America, an exhibit has opened. In it, Ana F. Edwards, chair of Defenders' Sacred Heart Ground Historical Reclamation Project, suggests why Richmond has decided to host such an exhibit.
"It's a place where … [people's] systematic marginalization has come forward to a point to which we can begin to change things," she says.
"We can look at [Richmond] and see it as a point of progress – but only if we can acknowledge what happened here. What happened here was profound, complicated, and it needs to be revealed and it needs to be talked about."

"Blyadi, Sir !" (c)
@The US State Department has threatened to impose sanctions against the Ukraine in response to the continued use of violence against protesters.
Spokeswoman Marie Harf said the US would continue to call upon Yanukovych "to protect the democratic rights of all Ukrainians, including the rights of peaceful protest".@
@"the Ukrainian government has to respond to assert a return to order and protect its citizens," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
Carney agreed the United States sees the moves as appropriate and even necessary within Ukraine, adding more than once that U.S. officials "urge the Ukrainian government to move forward gradually, cautiously."
The White House stopped short of agreeing with those who view Ukraine as being on the brink of civil war, while also calling militant takeovers of government buildings volatile and dangerous.@

Caption Lieutenant-Colonel William D. Otter (1843-1929)
Additional Information Commanding Officer, 2nd (Special Service) Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry Otter was the foremost Canadian professional soldier of his day, both in terms of seniority and experience. He began his military career in the militia in Toronto in 1864. In 1866, he served at the battle of Ridgeway where Fenian Irish nationalists from the United States defeated a Canadian force. He joined the Permanent Force infantry when it was established in 1883, and in 1885 commanded the Battleford Column during the Northwest Campaign. As commanding officer of the 2nd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry in South Africa, his no nonsense, no frills approach to soldiering brought him into conflict with the less disciplined ways of his officers and men, most of whom were volunteers from the militia or from civilian life. Otter was uncompromising, his convictions having been set by his memory of young militiamen fleeing in panic at Ridgeway. He was grimly determined that Canadian troops would not again fall into confusion on the battlefield. Otter was steady and courageous under fire. However unpopular with his men, his 'austere professionalism' got results. The 2nd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry was considered by many British officers to be the best infantry battalion in South Africa. He became the first Canadian-born officer to command this country's military, and he retired in 1910 as General Sir William Otter KCMG, CVO. During the First World War he came out of retirement to command operations for the internment of enemy nationals resident in Canada.
