This is Deirdre. She was such a timid little lady. I always wondered how she ever got though those early years, in a place and conditions I would never wish on anyone. When she arrived at her new home, she was so fragile, unkempt and afraid; It took her such a long time to settle with us in her new yet always safe surroundings.
The next few years must have been pretty magical for her; mud baths, water on tap, daily treats of grapes, sweetcorn, cheese, lettuce, pasta and more; she really came out of her shell. I always hoped that Deirdre and the rest of the flock knew they never had to want or need anything again, that we were never going to take any of this away from them.
We lost Deirdre back in November 2015. With each and every passing, it does seem to get that little bit harder to accept, yet she did have such a wonderful two years with us and this is something we have to focus on; like all those that came before her, as well as those after, she will never be forgotten.
Since 2010, me and my mum have looked after ex-Battery Hens. Never did I think such a little creature could have such a huge impact on my life, yet these wonderful birds have seamlessly done just that. We can only do so much for a few, and I really wanted to give something back to help the many beautiful madams out there, and in particular, the British Hen Welfare Trust, who do such a fantastic job in promoting awareness and rehoming these girls.
After many weeks of Photoshop and InDesign, I finally settled on a font style and a look I was completely happy with. The fridge magnet itself is 90mm x 60mm, with the image produced at the Print Lab within Plymouth College of Art, the institute where I graduated from in 2014, completing a BA (Hons) in Photography. I continue to use their facilities for many of my gallery/exhibition prints and the quality is second to none.
So far, £55 has been donated to the BHWT.

"This Changes Everything" changes nothing #smugosphere #emotathons #samemistakes #RoadtoParis
March 20, 2015 marchudson	2 Comments
Here we go. Here we go with the summit-hopping and the protestations that we have to Build a Mass Movement and the only/best/sensible (delete as appropriate) way to do that is to have a big march/ruck at (Prague/Genoa/Copenhagen and… Paris. (Yeah, well – screw Paris. No, seriously, screw Paris.)
Here we go with the sages on the stage. Here we go with the ego-foddering, the emotathons and all the pathologies of the smugosphere.
And, most unforgivable of all, here we go with the cynical or careless misuse of the language of liberation for a bunch of stale, unimaginative and exclusionary events that want to be sexy so wrap themselves in the cool lingo of the day, devaluing it. The lyrics change, but the song remains the same.
Example the first
Naomi Klein has written a new book (great review here) (some of us are old enough to remember the first biggie – "No Logo"). It's called "This Changes Everything".
The facebook event says
"On 28th March, three weeks after the national climate demonstration, [you know, the one that got an attendance of 10,000 ish and caused the barest ripple imaginable in the mediaverse] we will be hosting a radical, participatory event called This Changes Everything. Inspired by Naomi Klein's new book, the day will bring hundreds of people together in interactive workshops with leading campaigners and climate scientists…."
And to quote myself from an email I wrote to someone about whether I would go
"radical, participatory event" my fat arse. It will be same smug emotathon and egofoddering and sage on the stage tosh that they always do.
I'd just get too angry about it.
There will be denunciations of
a) the Conservatives
b) the Americans
c) Capitalism/Industrialism/Finance (the three wil be conflated, elided etc)
d) "Big" green organisations that are, you know, totally complicit with the System, man.
And there will be precisely zero genuine searching critique of what the grassroots movements have been DOING WRONG.
And there will be ritual invocations that Paris Really Matters.
And there will be grandstanding and tussles for attention from various radicals who like to stand on soapboxes and lecture everyone about how participatory their movements are[redacted – we have libel laws in this country].
And loads of paper sellers and the hippy equivalent of paper sellers.
I refuse to be complicit. To hell with the lot of them.
I am sure the organisers will survive my absence, just about.
Example the second; the "Boom Bust Boom" conference happening in Manchester the following week. They have the brass bloody necks to call what they are doing an unconference, because unconferences sound ooh so sexy.
Oddly, my comment on their volunteer section about how it was perfectly okay and nothing to be ashamed of to be running a conference, but that you shouldn't call it something IT ISN'T didn't get approved. How radical.
So one thing promises it will be radical and participatory but will be stuffed to the gills with "Celebrities" and experts talking at people. The other claims to be an "un-conference" but simply isn't.
Why do I care? Because it debases the coinage. Because I hate it when the corporations steal our dreams and sell them back, and I also hate it when Trotskyists – be they liberal, anarchist, Trotskyist or whatever – do the same. I hate being conned. To quote myself again –
"Throwing around terms like un-conference and "open space" and then perpetrating what Compass did seriously devalues the currency of innovation. If people who attended think "that's what World Cafe is" or "that's what open space is like" then they become cynical and dismissive about them. But these tools are are not – in the right hands – marketing ploys."
We laugh at the economists when they present emissions reductions graphs that point downwards in a nice straight line to the chosen target but actually rely on fantasy technologies like carbon capture and storage and on nuclear-rolled-out-everywhere-tomorrow. Ha ha ha. That's right. We should laugh. Ha ha ha.
But apparently you're not supposed to laugh when people use the words 'social movements' instead of CCS, as if those are any less a "fantasy technology" for achieving emissions reductions. We. Will. Not. Mitigate. We haven't in the last 25 years, and we won't in the next 25. We will wrap our ickle opposable thumbs around every last lump of coal that we can. The savannah did not equip our brains or our political institutions to think about everyone's long-term futures. Deal with it.
There is only one thing funnier than the magical use of the term 'social movements' and that's when those proponents think that they are going to magic those social movements into existence using exactly the same formats and tools that haven't worked the last 25 years.
That? That really cracks me up.
But try to change it? Well, to steal from another email –
Good luck with your attempt to restructure. Final unsolicited advice – "expect resistance". Folks have their comfort zones, and they largely perceive no problem with the existing set-up. They will not take very kindly to the implicit rebuke of their previous actions in your proposal to change things.
"Radicals" are some of the most conservative people I know….

Explaining #climate in a pub – of duvets, sailing ships and coal…
March 17, 2015 marchudson	Leave a comment
Last night I got to do a ten minute "what is my research about" spiel at "PhD in the Pub." It was followed by a slightly-less-than-20-minute q and a session (because I 'donated' some time from that to having folks confer before we began asking questions).
My spiel covered –
"meet someone you don't know"
"explaining climate change – of Keeling curves and duvets"
"sailing ships and sociotechnical transitions"
"it's a howdunnit, not a whodunnit or a whydunnit"
The q and a covered technology transfer, polar bears, vasectomies, bureaucracies, feminism and much more.
Would love to know what you all think. If you are reading this on facebook, please comment on the blog (as well).

We live in "Powdertown" #police #corruption – Cyril Smith coverup etc
The second verse goes like this;
Frankie looks like a nice young cop but he's got an old cop's face
He believed in truth and justice till they took him off the case
Now he's walkin' the beat on the wrong side of town, bustin' drunks and shakin' them down
Don't ask him who he's working for, all he says now is "the law's the law
And it'll be like this for evermore here in Powdertown, in Powdertown."
It's from an album track of the Australian band 'the Skyhooks'. In the course of a few verses we learn of enforced prostitution, police coverups, drug dealers. The motif of 'powder' – a white fluffy blanket that makes everything look clean and pure – runs throughout.
The Hillsborough stuff -96 dead because of police incompetence, followed by decades of smear, intimidation and cover-up, of course angers me, since I am a functioning human being. [For excellent coverage of Hillsborough, the undercover cops in the labour and environment movement and much else, see "Bristling Badger".]
The Jimmy Savile stuff; I have nothing to add.
But this latest – that some brave (naive?) cops – thought that they could build a case against an MP, a secret service clown and some top cops, and then were swiftly disabused of the fantasy that they lived in a state with something within in spitting distance of the rule of law – just, well… I am scared, of what members of my species are capable of.
Powdertown ends with an advice lyric;
So if you're driving through one day and you see that exit sign
You might slow down and take a look, maybe risk a parking fine
But if you're smart you'll pass on by, get where you're goin', kiss this place goodbye
Good advice. Anyone know if it's too late to sign up for the Mars colonisation thing?

Human emissions level off – so, no need to worry about #climate change?
March 14, 2015 marchudson	1 Comment
Marc Hudson tries to put the "global human-caused carbon emissions not going up" news into context.
I don't know if there are people out there who, on hearing from the International Energy Agency that for the first time outside of a recession, the amount of carbon dioxide we've tipped into the atmosphere (from burning fossil fuels for transport, electricity, heating) has 'stalled' and thought "our climate worries are over!"
Probably there are. Humans have limited cognitive capacity, and are always looking for rationalisations to allow them to keep doing what they've been doing. And climate change leads itself both to rationalisations and misunderstanding of scales and speeds.
Let's take human emissions. They've been growing dramatically over the last few decades, especially since the Great Acceleration of the 1950s, when everything started to grow dramatically. In 1988 the scientific warnings of the previous 15 years or so burst onto the public stage. Since then our emissions have gone up and up pretty relentlessly, in a global perspective. We built new infrastructure, we didn't create and/or export the low carbon technologies for energy production, and that's basically all that matters. Every year we pumped more carbon into the atmosphere than the previous year, unless there was a global recession (which means less economic activity, less energy use, less coal/oil/gas being burned).
But human emissions – a relatively small part of overall emissions from 'natural' causes – lions breathe out c02, trees die and decompose etc – are only of interest, I would argue, because they increase the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide. That is currently at the 400 parts per million (ppm) mark, up from 280 in 1780. The possible 'safe' level is 350 ppm, thus the name for the organisation 350.org.
If you want to stop worrying about climate change, you can't just look at human emissions, you have to look at concentrations. And a 'flat' level of human emissions – especially at 2013-4 levels doesn't lead to a stable amount of atmospheric C02. It leads to increases, because the amount we produce is higher than what the planet absorbs from the atmosphere into a) vegetation (plants draw C02 out of the atmosphere and use it as building blocks for their growth, which is a pretty neat trick) and b) the oceans (but the oceans can only absorb so much, and the act of absorbing C02 is making the water more acidic (actually, "less alkaline"), with devastating consequences for anything that makes shells out of calcium, and anything that eats anything that makes shells out of calcium, and anything that…. well, it's a web. You get the picture, I hope. Btw, those "carbon sinks" are weakening.
Higher atmospheric concentrations of C02 leads to more energy being trapped in the atmosphere (if you're in bed under two thick duvets, you are going to get warmer than under 1 thick duvet. The analogy isn't perfect, but it'll do for now.) And higher temperatures mean more extreme weather events, higher global temperatures (especially and sooner at the poles), and very probably more crop failures "etc".
Look, if people want to grasp at straws, they will. Death row inmates always hope for the last minute phone call from the governor granting clemency. It usually doesn't come. People turn away from climate change not because those silly environmentalists have got their "messaging wrong" (If one more person says 'MLK said "I have a dream" not "I have a nightmare' I am going to explode). People turn away because climate change is a terrifying and imminent nemesis about which we can no longer do very much. If we'd started properly in 1988 we'd have had some chance, perhaps even a quite good one. Now? Um…. If you need to believe that one year's flat emissions is a harbinger of salvation, you go right ahead.
The metaphor:
The car has been accelerating towards the cliff for some time now. No matter what the pleas of the passengers, the driver has had his foot clamped down on the accelerator. Really the car should be slowing, giving itself time to turn. Faster and faster the car goes. But wait, "good news"!! For whatever reason (the fuel mix, the hand that a passenger has put out the window in order to change the car's aerodynamics, something else), now the car isn't going faster. It's merely heading towards the cliff at the same fearsome speed it was going at a minute ago. So that's much better…

E equals NC squared – of Global Change Science and the Responsibility of Intellectuals
Who knows what about how the world works (on a geophysical level?) How do they find it out and what should "we" do with that knowledge? These were some of the questions that Professor Noel Castree grappled with (successfully!) yesterday afternoon at a seminar entitled "Changing while standing still? Global change scientists and the politics of planetary stewardship."
Here are the videos I took – first the lecture itself
Then the Q and A (the reason it blacks out when questioners are asking questions is that I wanted the best sound quality but I didn't have permission to film folks – ergo lens cover as a kludge.)
He explained where terms like the "Anthropocene" (humans as accidental/deliberate planet-shapers [Which began in 1610, apparently]) have come from, and the rhetoric/reality of "tipping points." He name-checked the big academic collaborations (IGBP IHDP etc) that have been beavering away for 30 years)
He questioned the nature of the academic cultures and conventions that we labour within/under, and pointed to experiments with different ways of knowing and expressing (in genuine collaboration with peoples usually on the receiving and sharp end of the Western Gaze…)
Of course, by no means all academics are intellectuals (or vice versa) but another "NC" – Noam Chomsky -has an injunction that seems relevant; it is the responsibility of intellectuals to expose lies and tell the truth.
The lies exposed here would presumably (I am projecting/importing my own beliefs) be that
a) it is impossible to have infinite growth on a finite planet
b) it is impossible (forget 'immoral') to make other people/species/generations continue to pay the price for our own actions
The thorny question is surely of the audience to which the academics wish to speak truth. Speaking truth to "power" doesn't seem to have done much good. The politicians 'know' that we are at or 'beyond the limits' (after all, the very first climate conference in the series that will have its 21st meeting in Paris was chaired by… Angela Merkel COP 1, (Berlin, 1995)
So who should academics be giving the benefit of their analysis? Business? Well, okay…. Social movements? They haven't got a great track record so far. They are not, I opine here, the historical actor, at least in the UK. Maybe it's not possible to be a public intellectual in a country where the "public" has retreated, where civil society is so brittle and thin.
Maybe all that is left to us is keep our eyes open as the debris piles skyward?
What was particularly good
a) A highly organised and fluently delivered presentation with the right amount of supporting evidence
b) He said he was going to speak for 50 minutes and he spoke for… 46! Nobody needed to drag him off the stage with a comedy hook. This, for a high status male academic, should not be notable or praise-worthy, but is.
What could have been better
The gender balance of the questions (and for the record, the male writer of this blog post asked a question that was later described as 'academic'). There's a really simple way to create a higher likelihood of questions from women and 'other minorities' (cough cough) that is not,imho, patronising or tokenistic. This (from the end of here)
"This tendency – of the sharp-elbowed/(over)-confident men (such as the author of this post, who asked the first question) needs to be dealt with the level of structure and habit, rather than individual self-abnegation. I dream of a world where chairs routinely say "before we go straight into a q and a, which will be dominated by the usual suspects, please turn to the person next to you/behind you and spend two minutes swapping names and impressions of the event. If you have a question, seek affirmation of it, and help in honing it. We'll then have a show of hands, and I am going to prioritise gender and racial equity." It's a little thing, but it might be part of making a difference. #justsaying"
Oh, and since Australian Prime Minister Tony "remote communities is a subsidised lifestyle choice" Abbott was mentioned, this cartoon from the wonderful David Pope has to get a run –

Climate Change – the way ahead?
March 9, 2015 marchudson	1 Comment
Marc Hudson on the current state of play in the United Kingdom. From the march last Saturday, to a historical digression, to Industry and Government to Paris.
There was a climate march in London on the weekend, that the organisers said they were hoping would be the biggest ever in the UK. (For the record, it would therefore have to be bigger than the 50 to 60 thousand march in December 2009, before the Copenhagen climate talks. To get that number took all the big NGOs all year to the exclusion of pretty much everything else).
Their hopes were, predictably enough, dashed.
My rule of thumb is to double the police estimate and halve the organisers' estimate. This tends to leave a narrow (and accurate?) band.
So, for this march we have the Daily Mail (a proxy for the police) using Press Association info, as saying 5000 and "Socialist Resistance" (insert Voltaire-about-the-Holy-Roman-Empire gag here) saying 25,000. So, somewhere from 10,000 to 12,500, probably.
This tallies more or less with the "More than 15,000 protesters gathered in London on Saturday for a climate change march, which is to end with a rally outside Parliament." (note the mixed tenses, which suggests the estimate is a very early – and perhaps exuberant – one)
Whoever wrote the headline "Tens of Thousands Take to the Streets of London Demanding Action on Climate Change" (Devlin, K. (2015) needs some remedial maths, basically.
Misplaced concreteness aside, the crucial thing is this – marches don't build social movements. If they did, we would not be in this mess. We would have continued after December 2009 with a bigger and bigger social movement on climate change, wouldn't we? We would have vibrant and threatening-to-the-powers-that-be social movements, bending the emissions curve down (and not just because we exported our factories). We don't.
Why? Because Marches. Don't. Build. Social. Movements. But they do keep organisers busy and motivated, and the newspaper sellers happy. So that's alright then.
Historical digression: Unstoppable green movements every 20 years
The first, mid-late 60s, upsurge, came thanks to raised awareness from books like Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring," local environmental concerns, (rivers catching fire, the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill), and perhaps some folks getting sick of being lied to about Vietnam and beaten up by cops, and finding something less 'hot' to protest. Once legislation was passed (Clean Air Act), and institutions (like the Environmental Protection Agency) founded, the heat went out of the issue
The late 80s surge came on the back of Amazon deforestation and ozone hole discovery, and the novelty for most people (climate change had been a very specialist concern, but not completely unknown) of the climate threat as announced in period June – November 1988. Once the legislation (UNFCCC, 1992) was past, the heat went out of the issue
The latest surge came almost 20 years later. In the period 2006/7 there was a flurry of activity –the launch of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth", The Stern Review, the Climate Camps started, the Fourth Assessment Report of the IPCC, the first climate change election (Australia 2007) the "Bali Roadmap" for a global deal in Copenhagen in 2009." It all disappeared like a fist when you open your palm in 2010.
So, we have three fairly distinct surges, roughly twenty years apart (enough time for a new generation to come up, not cynical about the possibilities of change in situations of 'agentic deadlock'). Each ends with legislation/failed efforts that fix the problem. And is followed by a lull when only the (fool?)hardy continue to agitate.
My suspicion, hopefully totally wrong, is that we are in the early stages of another lull. Of course history doesn't repeat (though she rhymes), and perhaps the next few years will see a huge upsurge in concern and activity. But disasters and rapid warming (as predicted by Michael Mann, who has had a look at the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and doesn't like what he sees) don't automatically lead to political upsurges.
And remember, so far social movements on environment have only "succeeded" in creating legislation and formal institutions. They have not caused the same cultural shifts that we have seen around black civil rights, women's liberation, gay rights (of course, those movements are partial as well, with many adherents justifiably depressed about the speed and direction of change).
(On community energy and the barriers it faces, see recent blog "Distributing power: Can the UK transition to a 50% distributed, low carbon electricity system?" by my colleague, Dr Victoria Johnson.)
Social movements are probably not the historical actor…
I am not a close observer, but seems to me only the off shore wind industry is gaining much traction in the much vaunted 'green economy'. For other sectors the low carbon agenda seems to have just been tossed in the 'too hard/not currently relevant to our customers' basket. I hope I am wrong and that someone points out vibrant R and D etc.
There doesn't seem to be the sort of public (either social movement/reputational risk/regulatory) pressure on them to bring new products to market and to disrupt their existing supply chains. And in the absence of pressure, you get (very) incremental changes, not radical ones…
They are not the historical actor.
Not much to say here that isn't obvious. Despite the (long forgotten and slightly embarrassing) promises of 'greenest government ever', it lacks motivation, momentum, credibility and capacity. This last one is crucial. Say we have Prime Minister Miliband in two months, governing with the support of three bolshy Green MPs. So what? The state – both national and even more obviously local – has been progressively hollowed out, its capacity to act strangled.
There is no trust in its constancy (Solar Feed-in-Tariffs), its ability to deliver without debacle (Green Deal and now Smart Meters.)
At this point I'm supposed to mouth some pieties about Gramsci's "optimism of the will", or point to positive noises from Beijing ahead of Paris. Failing that, I'm supposed to say "batten down the hatches". But that is a metaphor that works for storms which pass, not ones that grow and grow, propelling us irresistibly into the future to which our eyes are turned, while the pile of debris before us grows skyward.

I'm Curious Too: Why Do Bees Build Hexagonal Cells?
Have you ever wondered why bees build hexagon-shaped cells?
Isn't it fascinating? Why hexagon? Why not other shapes? And these apparently simple, instinct-driven creatures could build the perfect-six-sided-hexagon which, when you stack them up together, form a perfect array of honeycomb.
More than 2000 years ago, Marcus Terentius Varro proposed an answer to this question. He thought maybe honeycomb built of hexagons can hold more honey and require less building wax, and this answer has since been called "The Honeybee Conjecture".
First up, we all know that honeycombs store honey. Honey is what sustains the entire colony, so obviously it's very precious. A typical colony consists of 100,000 individuals, so you need a lot of honey to keep them alive. To store that much honey, you'll need a warehouse big enough to store them, but small enough to prevent thieves like the Japanese Giant Hornets (as long as your thumb) from breaking in. In fact a single cell is just big enough to let a single worker pass through.
So you need to start with a shape. Shapes like circle, pentagon, heptagon and octagon are bad shapes because you can't stack them up together without leaving gaps. And when you're talking about building a place to store as much honey as possible, every gap is considered a waste of space.
So that leaves us with triangle, square and hexagon. Out of these three, why hexagon?
It turns out that hexagon uses the least wax to produce compared to triangle and square of the same cross-sectional area.
To produce a square with area, A=100cm2, the circumference is 40.0 cm.
To produce a triangle with area, A=100cm2, the circumference is 45.588 cm.
To produce a hexagon with area, A=100cm2, the circumference is only 37.224 cm.
Ironically, the one with the least number of sides (triangle) is the one that requires the most wax to build.
This means that by building hexagon-shaped cells, the bees can reduce the usage of wax, which is also made from honey (now that makes sense). Holy BEEz.

Further vs. Farther: Differences and How to Use Them in English
By Matthew Jones
The difference between further vs. farther is slight (small), but using each of them correctly will help you in your journey to speak English fluently. That said, even native English speakers mix these two words up all the time! Let's take a look at the difference between further and farther to better understand how to use both.
The reason people make so many mistakes with further vs. farther is because of their definitions. The meanings of these two words have significant overlap, making it hard to determine when to use one instead of the other.
So, which is correct: farther or further? While there is some gray area in the further vs. farther debate, there are definitely correct and incorrect ways to use both terms.
What's the Difference Between Further vs. Farther?
Looking up the definitions of further and farther probably won't help you figure out how they are used. Here are their definitions side-by-side:
Further (adverb)
A great distance (or length of time) to or from something
Farther (adverb)
Do you see how people might get confused? If you dig a little deeper, you'll find that both further and farther are not just adverbs. They can also function as adjectives. Here is how they are defined as adjectives:
Further (adjective)
More distant than something else
More remote
Additional to something that already exists or has already occurred
Farther (adjective)
As you can see, further and farther are still very similar when they function as adjectives. However, further can take on an additional meaning that farther simply cannot. We will take a closer look at this difference a little later on.
There is one more key difference between further vs. farther. While further can function as a verb, farther cannot.
Here is the definition for the verb form of further:
Further (verb)
To promote or add to the progress of something
Now that you know the precise definitions of further and farther, it's time to see how to use further and farther in a sentence!
Further vs. Farther Examples
Since context determines the difference between further vs. farther, it's most useful to see how each word is used based on each of their many definitions. Let's begin by looking at further and farther as adverbs.
Further vs. Farther as Adverbs
As a reminder, here is the adverbial definition for both further and farther:
Example Sentences:
I walked further than he did. / I walked farther than he did.
The further he runs, the more tired he'll feel. / The farther he runs, the more tired he'll feel.
Her school is further away from mine. / Her school is farther away from mine.
Since the definitions are the same, further and farther are basically interchangeable as adverbs. In American English, "farther" is a little more common and casual, while "further" is perceived as more formal. However, as the examples above show, both are correct when used as adverbs. Now, let's move on to further and farther as adjectives.
Further vs. Farther as Adjectives
This is where things get a little trickier. Remember that further and farther share two definitions as adjectives, so we'll look at those first:
The astronomers looked into the further reaches of the galaxy. / The astronomers looked into the farther reaches of the galaxy.
The man sat at the further end of the table. / The man sat at the farther end of the table.
The elderly woman could hardly walk to the further side of the room. / The elderly woman could hardly walk to the farther side of the room.
However, don't forget that further also has a third meaning in the adjective form:
After you let the noodles bowl for 30 minutes, you'll need to let them drain for a further 5 minutes.
We need to conduct further reviews before reaching a conclusion.
You can direct any further questions to my secretary.
In the three samples above, you cannot replace further with farther, because farther cannot be used to mean "additional." Finally, let's look at the primary difference between further and farther.
Further as a Verb
Since farther cannot function as a verb, we will only look at further. Remember, this is the definition of "further" as a verb:
She wanted to further her career in the entertainment industry.
The board of directors furthered the company's diversity initiative.
By furthering his own plan, the man was able to further his friend's plan as well.
When further is used in the verb form, it most often relates to a plan or idea. Since farther can only refer to distances in time and space, it cannot be used in the same way.
Summary of Further vs. Farther
All of the definitions and examples above provide a lot of information, so it might be useful to simplify and condense (shorten) everything we've covered so far.
Here are some important things to remember about the difference between further vs. farther:
Farther can only be used as an adverb or an adjective. It always relates to distances in time or space.
Further can be used as an adverb, adjective, or verb. As an adverb or adjective, it is usually (though not always) interchangeable with farther.
When used as an adjective, further is a synonym for "additional."
As a verb, further is a synonym for "promote."
Now that you've learned the definitions and seen farther and further in a sentence, it's time to put your skills to the test! Here are a few useful resources to practice using further and farther on your own:

Cardinals have 'legitimate curiosity' in OF Carlos Gomez, report says
The St. Louis Cardinals are interested in attaining recently released outfielder Carlos Gomez, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Derrick Goold, who spoke Friday on The Morning After 920 AM show.
Goold said that the Cardinals had showed interest in Gomez even before Matt Holliday broke a thumb Thursday.
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson indicated Thursday that he would be open to the idea of pursuing Gomez as well.
MORE: Could Aledmys Diaz provide the boost the Cardinals need upon his return?
Gomez was designated for assignment by the Astros earlier this week after posting a woeful .210/.272/.322 slash line in 323 plate appearances this season. But the 10-year veteran made the National League All-Star team in 2013 and '14, so a team may take a chance on him.
The Cardinals have Tommy Pham, Randal Grichuk and Jeremy Hazelbaker as options to earn more playing time with Holliday on the disabled list, but Gomez would give them a veteran presence.
Whether it's the Cardinals or another team, it appears Gomez will find a new team before the season ends.

It's hard to compare athletes in different sports. But Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Derrick Rose, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Chris Johnson, Sydney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, Albert Pujols, Roy Halladay, Adrian Peterson, Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Robinson Cano, Joe Mauer, Michael Phelps, Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Maya Moore, Shaun White, Josh Hamilton, Miguel Cabrera, Ichiro Suzuki, C.C Sabathia, Mariano Rivera, Dwight Howard, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Nicklas Backstrom, Ryan Miller, Pau Gasol.
It's tough to answer this because right now I want to say Derek Jeter, although he's not the best performing, he's still the best all around player. The way he keeps his team together, the way he always performs amazing feats under pressure, and the way he is very modest when it comes down to things, he is the best all around professional athlete to me.
Lebron is a joke, he doesn't have the class that Jeter has.
Who is the best athlete in professional sports?All sports take athleticism, and while it is difficult to compare, who do you think is the overall best athlete in all of sports?


While Hogwarts takes up a significant proportion of our Blockwarts display, it is still only about a third of the 96 baseplates the entire display covers. London takes up a similar amount too, and like Hogwarts that part of the display has seen some improvements lately, including the addition of the Ministry of Magic (as it was mentioned in my post a few days ago). Read on to see how the Ministry looks in more detail!
As the London section of the display already includes Kings Cross Station, Diagon Alley and Privet Drive, there has not been room for any large structures, but we're happy with the result.
The Ministry is in a solid looking stone building (though in as per the books it is deep underground, but that is hard to build). The Ministry of Magic uses a telephone booth as the visitor's entrance. Visitors must dial 62442 (spelling "magic") on the telephone and the booth then transports visitors from ground level to the Atrium on floor B8.
Call 1800 MAGIC to enter!
Cutouts on the back of the building reveal two scenes from the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (spoiler alert).
The first is the battle in the Hall of Prophecy. This is a chamber within the Department of Mysteries, on Level nine of the Ministry. On its shelves, orbs with prophecies are stored, and it is here Dumbledore's Army battle a group of Death Eaters.
Also shown is the disciplinary hearing of Harry for use of underage magic in Courtroom 10. Here, Harry is accused of use of underage magic by Cornelius Fudge, having used a Patronus Charm to fend off dementors attacking him and Dudley, but luckily Professor Dumbledore arrives before he is sentenced, successfully defending Harry's actions as self defence.
"I think we might have a record of it if someone had ordered a pair of dementors to go strolling through Little Whinging!" barked Fudge.
Further updates on additions will come in the coming month as we scramble to finish as much as we can of the remaining work.


Kelley and Ooi were long-time partners and activists. Kelley had been fighting for gay rights since the 1960s. Ooi is active in Asians and Friends/Chicago. They became partners in 1979. Kelley died at age 72 on May 17, 2015.


Despite most of the media describing this a game of two halves, the general opinion at Tannadice was that we had the better of the entire game and not just in the second half, which we totally dominated. To illustrate this we, in fact, had the first chance of the opening period when Andy Goram got down low to save a Maurice Malpas shot. Three minutes later, Hibs had the ball in the net, but a foul by McCluskey on Scott Thomson quickly put a damper on any Hibs' celebrations. In the 19th minute, however, Hibs went ahead when George McCluskey headed in a free-kick at the near post. Quarter of an hour later, it was our turn to have a goal disallowed. Mixu Paatelainen headed the ball down to Raphael Meade who beat Goram, but was ruled off-side. At the other end Scott Thomson, deputising for the injured Billy, tipped over a Kane header.
The second half action was almost exclusively centred around Andy Goram's goal as we searched for an equaliser in the 52nd minute Goram tipped over a drive from Jim McInally, and a couple of minutes later Jim shot over after some neat approach work. Goram then had to dive quickly to cut out a dangerous cut-back by Allan Preston, and then Raphael Meade shot past after Maurice Malpas's first time ball into the middle beat the Hibs rearguard. In the 71st minute we did equalise when Paul Hegarty's back header found Mixu Paatelainen and his return chip into the middle was nodded in by Raphael Meade. A point was no less than we deserved after pinning Hibs back in their own half for most of the second half with our best display of possession play for some time. Only the lack of goal threat up front prevented us taking both points.

He didn't know where his was, so I told him I would find a replacement handbook for him and he, of course, thanked me.
"The lesson I learned from this experience is that consistent respectful communication about any and all of our standards will make us all safe, productive and professional.
"The action I call you to take is to use your most respectful communication skills when you are communicating company standards for safety, quality and productivity. You will build your crew into a team of professionals.
Effective professional communication regarding safety issues benefits the company and your crews. An important part of your job is to keep your team fully informed of all your standards. How do you do this?
Leaders, at every level, who hold all associates to the same high safety and performance standards.
There is a natural inclination to cut corners, skip steps, take the path of least resistance. Allowing your team to follow this declining path is a slippery slope that leads to unsafe, sloppy practices. To achieve the high standards required for continuous improvement you must continue to call your team up to the high standard that creates pride and leads to peak performances.

Home MLS Montreal Impact BMO, Impact enter into five-year sponsorship pact
BMO, Impact enter into five-year sponsorship pact
By Heather Engel
Joey Saputo. PHOTO: HEATHER ENGEL
It promotes itself as the "Bank of Soccer in Canada." And so, BMO has added one more notch on that belt in teaming up with the Major League Soccer-bound Montreal Impact.
The financial institution and soccer franchise came together at Saputo Stadium on Tuesday to announce a five-year partnership in which BMO becomes the organization's premier sponsor when it makes its MLS debut in 2012.
"It was an easy deal for us and it was an easy deal for them. BMO wants to be Canada's soccer bank. They're involved with Toronto, they've gotten involved with Vancouver and it was only natural for them to get involved with Montreal," said Impact president Joey Saputo. "(The negotiations were) quick and we're extremely, extremely happy with it."
While associating with the Impact would seem to be an obvious choice given BMO's existing partnerships the country's other MLS clubs, the Montreal connection between the two would especially seem to be a no-brainer.
"That was one of my selling points. You're in Toronto, you're in Vancouver but you're the Bank of Montreal; you have to be with Montreal," Saputo quipped.
BMO already supports 900 youth soccer teams across Canada, about 160 to 170 of which are in Quebec.
Jacques Menard, president of BMO Financial Group, Quebec, said he "wouldn't be surprised" if that total reaches 200 "sooner or later."
The grassroots and community involvement that soccer has established in the city is a big selling point as a sponsor. "It makes a lot of sense for us to align ourselves with a franchise and an activity that our clients and the public really care about. The Impact is a great vehicle, not only to reach clients and the community's broader base but also to reach kids and young families," he explained.
Saputo emphasized the organization's commitment to remaining accessible. Together with BMO, they will continue to promote and encourage soccer among local youth through various initiatives. That includes the opportunity for players to be a part of the in-game experience. As part of the deal, 100 soccer-playing youngsters will be welcomed to every match to serve as flag-bearers, ball retrievers and escorting players onto the field. Each group will also have the chance to fundraise for their own team.
"It's a partnership that will be great for the future of our sport and of our team," Saputo said.
Just as it does with Toronto FC, BMO will be featured on Montreal's MLS jerseys. The team's blue colour scheme and Impact moniker will remain but the logo will get a makeover ahead of next season. The new design will be unveiled at some point this summer and the new jersey will follow suit in the fall.
"It's going to be an interesting jersey, I can assure you. It's different, completely different than what we have now," Saputo revealed. "It's going to have hints of Montreal (and) it's going to have hints of Quebec. "I think it's a jersey that's going to be sought after."

DELANCEY + ESSEX MUNICIPAL PARKING GARAGE
Other Projects by Michielli + Wyetzner Architects
GREENPOINT EMS STATION
STERN COLLEGE FOR WOMEN. YESHIVA UNIVERSITY
AECOM/ EDAW, INC.
Michielli + Wyetzner Architects
Transport + Infrastructure › Parking
IN CONSTRUCTION
This project for the NYC Department of Design and Construction and NYC Department of Transportation completely rehabilitates the five-story, 40-year-old Delancey and Essex Municipal Parking Garage located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
The design includes replacing the deteriorating existing precast concrete panel façades facing Essex and Ludlow Streets and replacing them with a lightweight, naturally ventilated, visually dynamic façade that contributes to the rich texture of the growing neighborhood.
The pattern of the cable design is inspired by the work of various abstract artists such as Naum Gabo and Fred Sandback, who have defined form and space simply with lines. The scheme attempts to capture the visually dynamic quality of Optical Art works from the 1960's, including Françoise Morellet's "Grillage" drawings, where simple geometries were juxtaposed to create new, larger scale patterns.
The cable material itself is a standard DOT road barrier material, but here used in a new way—by turning them sideways and spanning vertically. The cables are positioned as if they were woven on a loom. This concept of weaving is loosely associated with the history of the Lower East Side and the early garment industry there.
The proposed façade for the Delancey + Essex Garage is a three-dimensional surface of lines that is produced by offsetting two layers of 1 ¼" composite cables.
When the two layers, one planar and the other folded, are viewed together, moiré patterns are created by the interference patterns made when the pieces cross. The patterns seemingly move across the face of the building as the viewer's position changes whether they are walking or approaching by car. The patterns produced and the suggestion of movement is linked to the dynamic nature of moving vehicles occupying the structure.
The composite cable material will have a fiberglass core and woven stainless steel jacket. Each cable will span from the second floor to the roof level and be fastened to stainless steel end-fittings with integral turnbuckles for adjustability.
At the intermediate levels, stainless steel "o-rings" will attach the outer layer of cables to galvanized steel "combs," anchored to the floor slab at each level. The comb's horizontal steel rods extend to fix the outer, folded layer of cables at the correct distance from the structure. The inner layer is composed of straight lines that are attached only at endpoints.
A continuous edge of decorative lighting runs between the roof and second level at the southern portion of the façade. The lighting grazes the cable screen and accentuates the geometry of the façade and, ultimately, the viewers' experience of it.
Are you sure you want to delete this placement from DELANCEY + ESSEX MUNICIPAL PARKING GARAGE?

J-Lo for Super Bowl halftime?
Published:Thursday | September 12, 2019 | 12:22 AM
Jennifer Lopez attending the CFDA Fashion Awards at the Brooklyn Museum in June.
Jennifer Lopez is reportedly in talks to play next year's Super Bowl halftime show.
The 50-year-old singer and her fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, have a residence in Miami, Florida – the state which is set to host the big game in 2020 – and various sources have told Us Weekly that the Hustlers star has held discussions with NFL bosses to make her dream gig come true.
The Waiting For Tonight hitmaker admitted in July that it would be "a big deal" to get booked for the huge gig, which saw Maroon 5 and Travis Scott perform this year and Destiny's Child reunite in 2018.
She said: "Yeah, we've thought about the Super Bowl, and it's in Miami, it's a big deal, but we'll see. They make their own decisions over there."
Meanwhile, the Super Bowl might not be the only major event J-Lo will be attending next year.
There has been Oscars buzz around her new movie, Hustlers, following rave reviews. The Second Act star was overwhelmed with emotion when discussing the response.
Speaking on SiriusXM radio, J-Lo said:
"I've just been working hard for so long, for my whole life. It's nice. Sorry, you guys know I'm emotional!"
The reviews flew in after the movie's première at the Toronto Film Festival at the weekend, and the singer and actress admitted she was "crying" in bed, reading them all with her closest friend.
She said: "I was literally sitting in my bed yesterday and they were sending me all the reviews.
"I could not believe it. I was crying, me and my girlfriend of 20 years were sitting there and she was trying to film me. I was like, 'Oh my God.'"
Jennifer admitted winning an Academy Award has been a dream since she was "a little girl".
She added: "You work hard your whole life and you wonder if anybody notices in a sense, on that level, to be in that conversation.
"You have dreams when you're a little girl of being [at the Oscars], you know what I mean?"

I could save McDonalds millions of pounds each year… now, bear with me here.
It has been bugging me, Nick, for ages, months actually… I'm not in the business of saving greedy global corporations money but I think this suggestion has some positives for the human race too. All they need to do is stop putting salt on the fries – and only add salt at the request of the customer!
They save money because they are using less salt and at the same time they help the population cut down on their own salt intake. Thus reducing the level of all types of nasties that can kill off people in this country. Now if that's not a good deal for everyone then I don't know what is!
What sense does that make? Who just goes into McDonalds and buys fries on their own? You don't! No one buys fries on their own! You buy fries as part of a meal deal. The drink is included! So they are not gaining anything.

John Constantine Hellblazer The Soul Play Film
February 3, 2022 Sisley 0 Comments
The John Constantine Hellblazer the Soul Play film is a fan-made project based on the comic book series. It is directed by Christopher Reeves, who gives the voice of the titular character a surprisingly harsh, judgmental accent. Although the characters and situation in the Hellblazer comics are far from likable, Christopher Reeves' performance makes Constantine a likable anti-hero. The climax of the film is the meeting of Constantine and detective Angela.
The film is based on the comic book series John Constantine. The comic book series ended after 13 episodes. The short film is directed by Waking Dream Studios in Manchester, England, and features Constantine playing a high-stakes game of poker with nasty demons. The movie is a fun little watch that fans of the series will enjoy. It's an entertaining short that will enthrall fans of the series and draw new readers to DC.
John Constantine – The Soul Play is a short film that is based on the comic book's Dangerous Habits arc. It follows the demon-hunting Hellblazer as he struggles to cure himself while trying to fleece the Devil. The comics are an entertaining way to follow the trickster character, and the film has no shortage of fun scenes to make the action exciting.
The Hellblazer comics and the TV series were in development at the same time. In 1998, Lauren Shuler Donner, a former director of the original comics, was attached to the project by Warner Bros. Paul Hunter, Tarsem Singh, and Keanu Reeves all pitched in and were attached to the film. However, the project stalled after the casting of Nicolas Cage. At this time, the movie was cast with actor Keanu Reeves. As a result, the script was changed to avoid a similar fate. Regardless of how wildly successful the movie is, fans will surely enjoy it.
In the film, Constantine plays poker with three demons. The stakes include the demons' souls, but Constantine is also playing for his own. While the film does not feature the original comics, it does draw inspiration from the comics. In the comics, the storyline follows the character's trials and triumphs as he tries to convince the Devil to save him.
In Hellblazer – The Soul Play, fans will get a taste of the comic series without watching it. The short film was made by Waking Dream Studios, which is based on the popular Vertigo comics. It revolves around a game of poker that Constantine and his teammates play with three demons. The film is a definite must-watch for fans of the comic series.

Technology in the Development of Futuristic Automobiles
The future is here and our most adored bat mobiles of the past might become a thing of the present, all thanks to modern technology and its implementation within the automobile trade. Today, there are several futuristic cars in development, making the possibility to drive hover and eco-friendly cars very much a reality in the not so distant future. We know there are ideas floating around in terms of development, but what we don't know is if they will go into production. Well, let's take a look at what the big motor industry have in store.
The technology that the Toyota Motor Corporation used in the design of the concept car is built on AI technology, which is far more advanced for our current times. Artificial Intelligence allows Toyota's car to understand its driver's needs, allowing it to take orders from a human being. This could be a game changer for party nights out, people with sight impairment and those who simply enjoy a little bit of luxury. Although the car is still in its concept phase, Toyota has announced that Concept-i will be previewed in the near future, perhaps in the next 007 casino movie. What better way to market a new car than associate it with Bond and his love affair with big dollar, high stakes casino gambling.
Faraday FF 91
The brilliant tech used in the development of the Faraday FF 91's development enables it to operate and be fully functional on a 100% electric power. Its source delivers up to 1050 horsepower and is easy on the eyes to boot. The FF91's idea and technology could save people hundreds of thousands in gas and diesel prices.
BMW Gina
The very definition of the bat mobile comes into mind when catching sight of the majestic creation of this incredibly beautiful forward-thinking invention from BMW. The waterproof canvas that the BMW Gina has been covered in, gives the impression that the vehicle is almost invisible. Hidden from the human eye are the handles of the doors when closed, as well as the trunk and the headlights.
Mercedes Benz F 015
By far one of the most futuristic looking cars is the Mercedes Benz F 015 which is an innovative creation running on the fuel cell which antedates more than 1100 kilometres of traffic, leaving humans to literally sit back and enjoy the ride without intervening during the course of the journey. With this advanced technology in mind, the creators chose to design the front seats with swivel ability so the driver and front passenger are able to turn around and face the back seat passengers, making the entire interior look ultra-modernized and sophisticated. The technology used to operate the Mercedes includes 6 touch screens to send commands to the engine, a leisurely creation indeed.
Rinspeed Oasis
Frank M. Rinderknecht will be unveiling his 'R2-D2' creation in Las Vegas in the beginning of 2019 to allow onlookers the appreciation of advanced technologies. The creator has designed this concept car to operate and fulfil its journey to its destination without any intervention of a driver.
Furthermore, the Rinspeed Oasis has been designed to be a comfortable ride for passengers as there is a TV featured in the inside of the car, the steering wheel can fold and there are even armchairs for passengers to facilitate when watching the TV screen.
The two-seater is perfect for in between the city journeys as it is compact and small enough to fit into alleyways thanks to wheels that have the ability to turn on their own axis. And as far as looks go, there is nothing left for the imagination - what you see is what you get.
Aero Mobil 4.0 Flying Car
The Aero Mobil has been aptly named following the aerodynamic creation of what looks to be a transformer car. Not to be missed at the International Air and Space show, the design doesn't only show itself off, but has the capacity to follow through on command in the air.
By the year 2020, the CEO Juraj Vaculik hopes to have his in-flight demonstrations to take full effect and be in production for delivery to manufacturers all across the globe. The magnificent design, look and feel of the Aero Mobil 4.0 certainly holds promise to this notion.
Technology Advancement by the Year 2020
With technology moving forward at the speed of light and in lieu of the current car development on the market, it's safe to assume that we will see a rapid development and distribution of advanced AI cars by the year 2025. For now, an increased number of automobile companies are adopting the forward way of thinking by using technologies that will eventually become affordable for the middle-class market. As far as the present goes, we are enjoying the proud displays of innovative roadster brands and the magic they create with the use of modern technology.

In Part I, I discussed why physical therapy of the shoulder using traditional rotator cuff exercises does not always work . Traditional methods of shoulder rehab often train the muscles of the shoulder in a way that they are not really used in normal everyday function. If you haven't caught that article yet, I suggest you read that one first. In this article I want to address a couple other pieces of the puzzle: motor control and regional interdependence.
There are many cases in which a certain movements may look dysfunctional in a standing position, but may actually be completely functional in other positions where the patient is more unloaded like lying on their back, stomach, side lying, on hands and knees, or even in kneeling. In these positions there are fewer joints and segments to control and in most of these cases less gravity to deal with.
Unless the movement pattern is tested in multiple positions, it is not possible to know with any certainty that the movement is limited because of a true mobility issue (think joint restriction or 'tight' muscle) or if it is because of a lack of motor control.
When I had her lie down on her left side, she could reach all the way up her back and touch the opposite shoulder blade! So why could she not do it in standing but had no pain and no difficulty lying on her side?
By going to a more unloaded position in side lying, the other joints of the body are taken out of the equation, and there is much less to have to control. In this position she could be successful. This is a great example of poor motor control, not a loss of shoulder range of motion. So of course the first question she asked me is why did she spend the last 4 weeks in therapy and at home trying to stretch out her shoulder?
During the evaluation is was also discovered that she had some loss of mobility in her neck. Because the neck movements were not painful, these were addressed first using some IASTM soft tissue work to her upper trapezius, levator, and rhomboids.
Another soft tissue treatment modality we offer at On Track Physical Therapy is Dry Needling.
Here is where that term – Regional Interdependence – comes into play. In simple terms, regional interdependence is the interplay between different regions of the body. In this case its easy to see how limitations in the neck can affect the shoulder since there are a number of muscles that run between the spine and shoulder girdle. In other cases it could be dysfunction even further down the spine, the pelvis, hip, and beyond that could affect alignment and function at the shoulder. Without the proper evaluation, it would be nearly impossible to find these relationships.
Once her cervical mobility was restored, we immediately went to corrective exercises to improve motor control of the neck and shoulder girdle. These were fairly simple non-painful exercises that allowed her to successfully work through her neck limitations in a more unloaded position (hands and knees in this case).
Following that first treatment she could reach behind her back and nearly touch her opposite shoulder blade!
When the patient returned for her next visit, she had maintained her neck mobility and behind the back reach without shoulder pain. We progressed to kneeling and standing motor control exercises, and by the end of the treatment she could touch her opposite shoulder blade without difficulty.
Needless to say, this patient was quite happy with the results. Sometimes it is as simple as being in the right place at the right time with your treatment.

It is amazing to see the growth of Kaleb. He has gone from being born at 2lb 2oz to now a whopping 9lb 2oz. I wanted to put together a video highlighting the growth and NICU journey of Kaleb Craig. Thank you to our family and friends for all of the support, love, and prayers.
I've unpacked most of our luggage from vacation. Laundry and dishwasher are both running. I'm now sitting here in the recliner researching and reading, trying to expand my knowledge on Kaleb's latest diagnosis. I am reading about cerebral palsy, or more specifically, spastic diplegia CP. The movie Avatar is playing in the background. Why do I mention the movie playing when I have much more on my mind today after Kaleb getting yet another diagnosis added to his seemingly ever growing file? It's because the choice in movie.
Happy birthday Kaleb! Every birthday a person experiences is special but I'm not sure one has held so much significance for me as your first birthday. In some ways I feel that it is my own, since it signifies the beginning of my own transformation.
I think back to this past year filled with all the tears, heartaches, prayers, cuddles, hope, and love. I am reminded of our bedtime story, I Love You Stinky Face. I read it to you each night while you sit on my lap nestled against me. Yes, it's the one that you try to hold and turn the pages while I'm still reading. At least once or twice during the story you will turn your little head to watch me with your big beautiful eyes as I read.
I don't have baby fever. Nope, not at all. Instead I'm the person tagging my husband on the story of the vasectomy celebration thrown by a wife for her husband. Complete with the snip snip hooray cake.
However, when I see a big pregnant belly or hear of a mom talking about packing her hospital bag, the twinges come. This is when the twinges of grief and dare I say envy come in every now and then.
