"It's taken me nineteen years to discover that glamor is where you find it and most of the time it's where you least expect it to be." – Quote attributed to Judy Garland, 1943
January 24, 1931: "The Gumm Sisters" (Judy and her sisters) performed as part of the "Meglin Kiddies' group at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles, California. The main attraction was Ruth Chatterton's film The Right To Love.
January 24, 1938: The world premiere of Everybody Sing took place in Miami, Florida. Judy arrived in Miami via train from Hollywood, California at 4:30 p.m. Immediately upon arrival in Miami, Judy was interviewed for WIOD Radio by Eddie Cohen of "The Miami Daily News" which was broadcast live from the station at 4:45 p.m. According to the article, Judy was scheduled to end the interview and leave the train station when the train of MGM executives arrived from New York, going to her room at the Roney Plaza Hotel to rest and prepare for her personal appearances at the theater showing the film, at 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
January 24, 1940: Two newspaper filler items, one about Judy's weakness for biting her fingernails, and the other about how Judy liked to wear a printed pinafore over her navy blue frock for school days.
January 24, 1942: Judy and husband David Rose's second day of a two-day engagement at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Judy did two USO shows then dashed to make the 11:35 p.m. train to St. Louis. Judy had been fighting tooth issues since the beginning of the tour at Fort Custer in Michigan on January 21st. The article above notes that Judy and David were accompanied by Judy's mom, Ethel, her manager (and former boyfriend) Barron Poland, and "several studio representatives."
Next stop on the tour, the Jefferson Barracks fort outside of St. Louis, Missouri.
Photo: Judy visits the servicemen in Fort Knox. The photo was taken on either January 23rd or 24th.
January 24, 1943: "Glamor's Where You Find It" – written by Judy Garland (allegedly).
January 24, 1943: According to this article, Judy discovered a new talent for MGM, a young 14-year-old dancer named Dariel-Jean Johnson. If true, her career didn't take off at all as I haven't been able to find out anything more about the girl.
January 24, 1943: For Me And My Gal was still a big hit in various theaters around the country. The first clipping is an article about Judy's anecdotal issues rehearsing with Gene Kelly and losing weight, looking good, and then not being able to show off her new figure. Obviously cooked up by the always resourceful MGM Publicity Department.
January 24, 1944: Judy and Tom Drake began two days of filming scenes on the "Exterior Site of Fairgrounds" set for Meet Me In St. Louis. Time called: 10 a.m.; arrived on set at 10:36 a.m.; dismissed: 5:35 p.m.
These were the scenes that took place after the trolley ride and included the number "Boys And Girls Like You And Me." It was cut because it was decided that the sequence slowed down the film. No footage has survived, only these photos.
January 24, 1946: This ad appeared in the "Film Daily" trade paper.
January 24, 1946: The Harvey Girls was a smash hit. Here are some ads, including two for the "cast album" released by Decca Records, which was a hit on its own.
Check out The Judy Garland Online Discography's The Harvey Girls Cast Album pages here.
January 24, 1948: Judy arrived in makeup at MGM for Easter Parade at 7 a.m.; she was on the set at 9 a.m.; dismissed at 10:40 a.m. Filming for the day was canceled, per the assistant director's reports: "Did not shoot on account of bad weather." The plan was to continue shooting the "first Easter Parade" scene on MGM's Backlot #2, the "New York Streets" section.
January 24, 1953: The recent death of Judy's mom, Ethel (on January 5, 1953) garnered some bad press for Judy. Many people felt that she had turned her back on her mother. Columnist Harold Heffernan used that to devote his column to a kind of cautionary tale about how "movie mothers [were] often cast aside by [the] children they made into stars."
January 24, 1954: The captions for the two photos of the outtake version of "The Man That Got Away" are amusing in that they claim to be exactly what you would see in the film, in Cinemascope!
January 24, 1955: Even in its shortened form, A Star Is Born was proving to be popular which was probably helped by all of the Oscar buzz that Judy was receiving for her flawless performance. The above is a unique ad for the film.
January 24, 1964: Rehearsals and taping of "The Judy Garland Show," "Episode Twenty" titled "Judy Garland in Concert" at CBS Television City, Studio 43, Hollywood. At 2 p.m. there was a rehearsal, followed by a dress rehearsal (which was taped) from 6 – 7 p.m. then the final taping from 9:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. The show aired on February 9, 1964.
Judy's concert consisted of an "Overture" followed by her songs: "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"/"He's Got The Whole World In His Hands"; "World Ware One Medley"; "That's Entertainment"; "Make Someone Happy"; "Liza"; "Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe"; "Lorna's Song"; "Rock-A-bye Your Baby"; "A Couple Of Swells"; and "America The Beautiful."
Just a few days prior to the taping, CBS allowed Judy to announced the cancellation of the series, stating that she needed to "give my children the time and attention they needed." The real story, which was common knowledge, was that CBS was never really behind the show, tinkering with the format and putting it against "Bonanza." Critics, fans, and other stars came to Judy's defense, with Lucille Ball stating "I was furious when Judy Garland was given lines like 'I'm a little old lady,' and someone talking about 'the next Judy Garland.' I bet she's glad her series is over. She's the best."
This concert format, while too late, was embraced by the critics and public alike. "The New York Times" stated: "After five months of trial and error in which the show has been subjected to various and ill-fated formulas, CBS is going to let Miss Garland do what she does best – sing…"
January 24, 1965: Judy was all set for her upcoming appearance on the TV variety show "On Broadway Tonight."
January 24, 1965: This article about the history of movie musicals was printed in the "Oakland Tribune" out of Oakland, California.
The TV cancellation marked the final tragedy for Judy. She never recovered. As for the show itself, it would not have lasted as just a one-hour concert. That was nice once in a while, but the tea for two segment worked, as did many of the guests. It should've been moved to Monday nights just after "The Lucy Show." Sure, people might've went to bed after Lucy, but Judy would've stood a greater chance. As for comedy, they needed REAL writers to produce REAL comedy. And Jerry Van Dyke was plain awful, and should've NEVER survived past the first show, much less several months. "The Lone Ranger" bit is one of the painful moments ever on the show! Simply awful.
Thank God for all the wonderful singing by Judy, Barbra, Lena, Dianne Carroll, Vic Damone, and Jack Jones.
Thank goodness for Judy's tv show what a trooper her warriors heart always had her coming back

I Chopi sono un gruppo etnico del Mozambico. Hanno vissuto tradizionalmente principalmente nella regione di Zavala, nel sud del Mozambico, nella provincia di Inhambane. Tradizionalmente vivevano una vita di agricoltura di sussistenza, vivendo tradizionalmente un'esistenza rurale, anche se molti furono sfollati o uccisi nella guerra civile che seguì la liberazione del Mozambico dal dominio coloniale portoghese nel 1975. Inoltre, la siccità costrinse molti a lasciare la loro patria e le città della nazione.

I Chopi parlano chichopi, una lingua tonale della famiglia bantu, alcuni parlano anche chiTonga e portoghese come lingue secondarie. I loro vicini sono il gruppo etnico Shangaan che vive a ovest, nella provincia di Gaza, e che ha invaso il territorio dei Chopi nel XIX secolo. Storicamente, alcuni Chopi sono stati ridotti in schiavitù e altri sono diventati lavoratori migranti in Sudafrica.

I Chopi si identificano culturalmente, come popolo, con l'elefante.

Musica e ballo
Sono famosi per la loro musica tradizionale, il più famoso dei loro strumenti è il mbila (plurale: timbila), uno xilofono suonato in grandi gruppi. Questa musica è stata proclamata un patrimonio orale e immateriale dell'umanità dall'UNESCO nel 2005.

Altri strumenti usati dai Chopi sono i flauti in legno, fischietti, corni di animali, sonagli, tamburi di varie dimensioni, archi musicali e un flauto globulare a tre fori ricavati dal guscio essiccato del frutto nkuso (arancione cespuglio).

Cucina
I cibi tradizionali dei Chopi sono cassava (manioca) e anacardi. Producono anche un certo numero di bevande alcoliche tradizionali, che sono prodotte da mandarini tangerini o anacardi.

Timothy Mowry Wiki
Although he gained fame as a celebrity father thanks to his daughters Tamera and Tia Mowry, the actresses who starred in "Sister, Sister", Timothy Mowry is someone whose life may be interesting to learn about. Perhaps you were unaware that he had a successful military career, and married his high school sweetheart.
To get to know him better, and find more interesting facts about this celebrity father, keep on reading this article.
Timothy John Mowry hails from Miami, Florida USA, where he was raised by his parents. Born under the zodiac sign of Capricorn, on 4 January 1957, Timothy is aged 65 as of 2022. There's nothing known about his parents, nor if he has any siblings, since he's very private when it comes to his personal matters.
Speaking of his education, he attended a local high school, and upon matriculating in 1975, he didn't go to college but joined the US Army.
US Army Career
Timothy was involved in sports from an early age, which helped him pass the necessary physical and mental tests. Soon after joining the army, Timothy became Sergeant First Class. In addition to administrative work, his task was also to lead the battalion.
After several years in the US Army, Timothy retired and moved with his family to California, where he served as a custody officer at the Glendale Police Department.
First marriage, divorce, and new wife
Timothy and Darlene Renee Flowers met in high school, where they fall in love and began dating. The two joined the army together, and married the same year of 1975, when they were both just 18 years old.
From left to right : Tamera Mowry, Tahj Mowry, Timothy Mowry (Their dad), the Bishop Ernest Johnson, Tia Mowry, & Darlene Mowry (Their mom)
Posted by Love Sees No Color on Thursday, April 16, 2015
Timothy and Darlene served together in Germany, and there were born their twin daughters Tia and Tamera in 1978. Their third child, and first son Tahj, was born on 17 May 1986, in Honolulu, Hawaii, while their second son, Tavior was born on 5 July 1993, in Fort Irwin, California. After their fourth child was born, Darlene retired from the army and devoted her time to her family. Timothy also left the army, and the family continued living in California.
Timothy and Darlene divorced after 40 years of marriage,. For their children, this was quite shocking, and their divorce fell the hardest on Tamera, who in her 2019 interview for OK Magazine, claimed that she is still processing what happened.
However, Timothy and Darlene continued with their lives, and Timothy found new love with a woman whose name hasn't been disclosed publicly, but it's known that the two began dating sometime in 2020, which his daughter Tamera confirmed in her interview with Jeannie Mai. Tamera also added that she hasn't met this woman yet.
As of November 2022, there is no information if Timothy and his girlfriend are married, or are still together.
According to authoritative sources, the annual pension of retired US Army soldiers is approximately $30,000, and since Timothy also worked as a parole officer, his net worth has been estimated at around $250,000.
Briefly about his daughter Tia Mowry
Tia Mowry was born in Gelnhausen, Hesse, then West Germany, on 6 July 1978. Her zodiac sign is Cancer and she's 44 years old. She's an actress with over 50 acting credits to her name and is still probably known best for her role as Tia Landry in the family comedy-drama "Sister, Sister", also starring her twin sister Tamera.
The series followed the story of twin sisters who were separated at birth, and as teenagers they find out the truth and finally met each other. It aired from 1994 through 1999 and was one of the favorites among teenagers. "Sister, Sister" had 20 award nominations and won nine, including one Primetime Emmy Award.
Tia made her acting debut portraying Judith Ann Webb in an episode of the series "Dangerous Woman" in 1991. She followed with a few guest roles in various series before she was cast to play in "Sister, Sister", which brought her numerous accolades, including three Kid's Choice Awards, and the Image Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, among many others.
Tia's first movie role was her portrayal of Sydney in the 2000 TV comedy-drama "Seventeen Again" which brought her a Young Artist Award nomination for Best Performance in a TV Movie (Comedy) – Leading Young Actress.
Next, she was seen as Venetia in the 2002 comedy "The Hot Chick", and then voiced the character of Sasha in the animated movies "Bratz the Video: Starrin' & Stylin'" (2004) and "Bratz: Rock Angelz" (2005).
Tia continued with numerous television and movie roles, and one of her most notable was her portrayal of Janine in the 2013 movie "Baggage Claim". In the same year, Tia was cast to play Stephanie Phillips in the series "Instant Mom", also starring Michael Boatman and Sydney Park, and was seen in 65 episodes from 2013 through 2015.

Three years after the death of Elombe Brath, public officials, dignitaries, family, friends and fellow activists honored the Brooklyn-born, Bronx-raised "freedom fighter" at a street co-naming ceremony Sept. 30, on what would have been his birthday. The Elombe Brath Foundation, along with community activists, have called for the corner of 125th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard, also named "African Square," to bear Brath's name ever since he died.
On Saturday, reports Herb Boyd for Amsterdam News, people remembered Brath and his contribution to Black and African communities.
"Elombe was a family man who brought us closer to Africa," she intoned before offering a sustained ululation in tribute to Brath.
For more from the ceremony on the life of Elombe Brath and his accomplishments, as well as on complaints over the "African Square" sign, go to Amsterdam News.


changgeng liu, Beatrice Pazzucconi, juan liu, Lei Liu, Xincheng Yao; A holographic waveguide based eye tracking device. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2018;59(9):2162.
Purpose : This study is to test the potential of using a planar holographic waveguide for constructing a wearable, see-through eye tracker. The planar holographic waveguide can significantly reduce the physical dimension of the device in front of the eye, promising a powerful tool to diagnose oculomotor disorders outside of laboratories.
Methods : A custom-built holographic waveguide, which is a 20 mm x 60 mm x 3 mm flat glass substrate with integrated in- and out-couplers, was used to image the eye in a prototype eye tracker. A prosthetic eye model, mounted on a 3D gimbal and illuminated with an LED light source, was used to test this prototype. The image of the eye was captured by the waveguide in front of the eye and was guided away from the eye to a camera (Fig. 1A). A custom Matlab program was used to compute the locations of pupil center (PC) and the corneal reflection (CR). The offset between PC and CR was used to register eye rotation.
Results : Figure 1B is a representative anterior segment image taken through the holographic waveguide imager, when the eye model was rotated horizontally -15 degrees (to the left). Also shown in Fig. 1B are the pupil border (dotted ellipse), the PC (small white star) and the center of CR (small red cross). The horizontal offset between PC and CR in pixels is linearly related to horizontal eye position between -30 and +30 degrees (Fig. 1C, slope=1.05 pixels/deg; r=0.99). The vertical offset fluctuation was very small (SD=1.07 pixels). Similarly, the vertical PC/CR offset was linearly related to vertical eye position between -25 and +25 degrees (slope=1.25 pixels/deg; r=0.99) with small horizontal fluctuation (SD=1.48 pixels). The root mean square error of repeated measures of PC/CR offsets at -10, -5, 0, 5, and 10 deg horizontal eye positions ranged from 0.1 to 0.7 pixels.
Conclusions : The benchtop prototype of the holographic waveguide imager demonstrated a linear relationship between the angular eye position and the PC/CR vector over a range of 60 horizontal degrees and 50 vertical degrees. These preliminary results confirmed that the holographic waveguide technology can be a feasible platform for developing a wearable eye tracker.

Let me just start by saying I hope this letter reaches you in good health. Now, where do I begin?
Lauryn Hill. Wesley Snipes. Chris Tucker. MC Hammer. Fat Joe. Young Buck. What do they all have in common? Well, besides momentous influence on pop culture and Black people in general? Me — The Tax Man — that's what. And unless you are unemployed or sell drugs, thusly avoiding taxes and governmental tariffs and what not, get ready because it's almost MY time to shine.
I bet you're already looking for that W-2 in the mail, huh?
See, everybody likes getting their annual refunds, but nobody likes The Tax Man. And it's all good, because like they say, me and death are unavoidable. No matter what you do, or where you spend your hard-hustled cabbage, eventually you will meet me. You can try to avoid me if you want, but I'm sure you have a cousin or uncle who tried to hide, and look what happened to him. I dug in his wallet and bank accounts until I got mine, nah' mean? You think your money is yours? Ha! No dice. I'll bite a chunk out of your paycheck quicker than you can catch the bus to the check cashing spot, believe that.
Not that anyone cares, but lately I find myself glossing over the little people. The tax bracketly-challenged folks whose measly change isn't worth the auditor's time. I got my sights set on much bigger targets. Dope dealers? Nope. Politicians? No dice. Small business owners? Nah, bruh. I've zeroed in on Black celebrities. "Why?" you may ask…because they make it so easy. I see the videos online. I watch TMZ. Not to sound like a bigot, but you people floss and flaunt and spend endlessly in front of a live audience yet won't even hire the right man or woman to manage your finances! I see you all year, blowing money on cars, clothes, and hoes without thinking about your good ol' Uncle Sam. Well I have news for you, nephew: it's on and cracking.
I have nothing but time, so while you celebrities get rich and famous and hide behind paperwork, fancy cars, and your endless surplus of sunglasses and jewelry, I chill and wait. Like a spider monkey hidden in the money tree branches of the urban jungle. Then, when you think it's all good because you won a Grammy or an Emmy or an Oscar, I'll be right there. And ask around; I don't accept any excuses for not giving me my chips. I don't care how famous you are, either! Listen here, pay me now or pay your lawyers later — it's easy. And you think your career will be the same after I splatter your name across the media's windshield like a bug on a cross-country drive? No way. Look at what I did to Fat Joe! You'll be lucky if the weed man you've been dealing with since you were poor or your "personal jeweler" extends any credit to you by the time I'm done pillaging your pocketbook and reputation.
And to all you future celebrities, be mindful of what you spend and who is in charge of said spending or find yourself spending time on a state-sponsored vacation. A vacation that will cost you tons of money, respect, and humiliation — unless you're a rapper, because rappers seem to love state-sponsored vacations, but that's for another day.
Speaking of rappers, I love to catch them slipping on their pimping out here. There's no better feeling than taking some clown down a notch or two in public, am I right? You zoom around in luxury cars, toss dollars at strippers on camera, claim to slang copious amounts of drugs (like I can't tax it…), so when I have the pleasure of tapping you on your million dollar shoulder for my piece of your pie, it warms my heart. Sometimes I want to tell them to throw that stripper money at me instead, but the closest I get to pole dancing is locking folks up behind bars for neglecting what is RIGHTFULLY MINE! Truth be told, I'm just itching for Rick Ross to get caught up. He won't be able to lie his way outta this one. Doesn't Diddy owe him a million bucks? Hahaha! Best believe I'll take mine if he doesn't drop an offering in my plate in a timely manner. Mark my words!
For some of you it may be too late. You think you're off the radar because you're not publicly wealthy yet. I see you and I have news for you; get ready…I'm coming.

Sofia Kovalevski linocut
This linocut portrait is of the great Russian mathematician and writer, Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevski (1850-1891). The linocut is printed on Japanese kozo paper 9.25" by 12.5" (23.5 cm by 32 cm) in an edition of eight. Also known as Sofie or Sonya, her last name has been transliterated from the Cyrillic Со́фья Васи́льевна Ковале́вска in a variety of ways, including Kovalevskaya and Kowalevski. Sofia's contributions to analysis, differential equations and mechanics include the Cauchy-Kovalevski theorem and the famed Kovalevski top (well, famed in certain circles, no pun intended). She was the first woman appointed to a full professorship in Northern Europe or to serve as editor of a major scientific journal. She is also remembered for her contributions to Russian literature. All of this despite living when Russian women were still barred from attending university. Her accomplishments were tremendous in her short but astonishing life.
Born Sofia Korvin-Krukovskaya, in Moscow, the second of three children, she attributed her early aptitude for calculus to a shortage of wallpaper, which lead her father to have the nursery papered with his old differential and integral analysis notes. Her parents nurtured her early interest in math, and hired her a tutor. The local priest's son introduced her to nihilism. So both her bent for revolutionary politics and passion for math were established early.
Unable to continue her education in Russia, like many of her fellow modern, young women including her sister, she sought a marriage of convenience. Women were both unable to study at university or leave the country without permision of their father or husband. Men sympathetic to their plight would participate in "fictitious marriages" to allow them an opportunity to seek further education abroad. She married the young paleontology student, Vladimir Kovalevsky, later famous for his collaboration with Charles Darwin. They emigrated in 1867, and by 1869 she enrolled in the German University of Heidelburg, where she could at least audit classes with the professors' permission. She studied with such luminaries as Helmholtz, Kirchhoff and Bunsen. She moved to Berlin and studied privately with Weierstrass, as women could not even audit classes there. In 1874, she present three papers, on partial differential equations, on the dynamics of Saturn's rings (as illustrated in my linocut) and on elliptic integrals as a doctoral disertation at the University of of Göttingen. Weierstrass campaigned to allow her to defend her doctorate without usual required lectures and examinations, arguing that each of these papers warranted a doctorate, and she graduated summa cum laude - the first woman in Germany to do so.
She and her husband counted amongst their friends the great intellectuals of the day including Fyodor Dosteyevsky (who had been engaged to her sister Ann), Thomas Huxley, Charles Darwin, Herbert Spencer, and George Elliot. The sentence "In short, woman was a problem which, since Mr. Brooke's mind felt blank before it, could hardly be less complicated than the revolutions of an irregular solid." from Elliot's Middlemarch, is undoubtedly due to her friendship with Kovaleski. Sofia and Vladimir believed in ideas of utopian socialism and traveled to Paris to help those the injured from the Paris Commune and help rescue Sofia's brother-in-law, Ann's husband Victor Jaclard.
In the 1880s, Sofia and her husband had financial difficulties and a complex relationship. As a woman Sofia was prevented from lecturing in mathematics, even as a volunteer. Vladimir tried working in business and then house building, with Sofia's assistance, to remain solvent. They were unsuccessful and went bankrupt. They reestablished themselves when Vladimir secured a job. Sofia occupied herself helping her neighbours to electrify street lamps. They tried returning to Russia, where their political beliefs interfered with any chance to obtain professorships. They moved on to Germany, where Vladimir's mental health suffered and they were often separated. Then, for several years, they lived a real marriage, rather than one of convenience, and they conceived their daughter Sofia, called Fufa. When Fufa turned one, Sofia entrusted her to her sister so she could return to mathematics, leaving Vladimir behind. By 1883, he faced increasing mood swings and the threat of prosecution for his role in a stock swindle. He took his own life.
Mathematician Gösta Mittag-Leffler, a fellow student of Weierstrass, helped Sofia secure a position as a privat-docent at Stockholm University in Sweden. She developed an intimate "romantic friendship" with his sister, actress, novelist, and playwright Duchess Anne-Charlotte Edgren-Leffler, with whom she collaborated in works of literature, for the remainder of her too short life. In 1884 she was appointed "Professor Extraordinarius" (Professor without Chair) and became the editor of the journal Acta Mathematica. She won the Prix Bordin of the French Academy of Science, for her work on the rotation of irregular solids about a fixed point (as illustrated by the diagram in my linocut) including the discovery of the celebrated "Kovalevsky top". We now know there are only three fully integrable cases of rigid body motion and her solution ranks with those of mathematical luminaries Euler and Lagrange. In 1889, she was promoted to Professor Ordinarius (Professorial Chair holder) becoming the first woman to hold such a position at a northern European university. Though she never secured a Russian professorship, the Russian Academy of Sciences granted her a Chair, after much lobbying and rule-changing on her behalf.
Her writings include the memoir A Russian Childhood, plays written in collaboration with Edgren-Leffler, and the semi-autobiographical novel Nihilist Girl (1890).
Tragically, she died at 41, of influenza during the pandemic. Prizes, lectures and a moon crater have been named in her honour. She appears in film and fiction, including Nobel laureate Alice Munro's beautiful novella 'Too Much Happiness', a title taken from Sofia's own writing about her life.

Hope you have a lovely Valentine's Day!
I made this linocut Valentine with my husband the archer in mind. He has to work late this evening, but we got to spend this morning together. He and Gabriel got me flowers and they got the Valentine and kisses. Gabriel seems fascinated with the bouquet.
Best of all; soon there will be a surplus of cinnamon hearts in all the stores. That's something I think we can all appreciate, even if you aren't into the other aspects of this day.
Mmmm! Cinnamon hearts. I love cinnamon hearts.

I printed my koi block on this lovely, handmade, deep orange kozo paper I found, with a deckle edge.
I also made a new print of a JRT (Jack Russel Terrier, for those who aren't into dogs). Since it's based on a custom order, I'm going to keep it under wraps for a little while. It seems unlikely, but I would hate to spoil the surprise, should the gift recipient see the image before he receives his gift.
I've been doing some research and making notes on planned future prints.
Other than that, Gabriel has been keeping me pretty busy. His grandmother popped by unannounced today during Canada's men's hockey game, which she watched with her grandson on her knee. She's a raving tennis fan, so during the second period when she was unsure if the puck had gone in she asked whether Canada had in fact scored. Then she said, "So, it's 2-love Canada? Er.. well... in my language?"

Bell Burnell and the Little Green Men
Jocelyn Bell and the LGM-1
This year, I plan to grow my collection of portraits of women in STEM. I thought I'd get an early start on this project, with my first portrait of a scientist who is still working.
This is a linocut portrait of Jocelyn Bell (now Bell Burnell) and the incredible radioastronomy dataset she gathered when only a graduate student in 1967, working with Anthony Hewlish. The block is inked "à la poupeé" in dark blue grey and green on Japanese kozo paper. The first edition is a variable run of 10 prints, each 10" by 12.5" (25.4 cm by 31.8 cm).
In November, 1967, Jocelyn Bell (Burnell) was just a graduate student when she discovered the first radio pulsar (or pulsating star), a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation. This radiation (light in the radio frequency band) can only be observed when the star is pointed towards us; so, like the light from a distant lighthouse, it appears to pulse at a precise frequency. Jocelyn Bell had been working with her supervisor Antony Hewish and others to construct a radio telescope to study quasars (quasi-stellar objects which emit radio waves). She noted some "scruff" on her chart-recorder, and then that the pulses were incredibly regular, occurring every 1.337 seconds. Hewish was initially scornful and insisted the regular pulses must be noise from a human made source. He first dubbed this object, emitting with such regularity 'LGM 1' for "Little Green Men 1", a playful joke about their uncertainty about what could emit radiation so regularly - obviously it could only be a communication from extraterrestrials hahaha! After she found other such sources, in different places with different frequencies, her colleagues became convinced. These discoveries lead to the development of the pulsar model. LGM-1 is now known PSR B1919+21.
The 1968 paper announcing this discovery in Nature has five authors, lead by Hewish, followed by Jocelyn Bell. In 1974, Hewish won the Nobel Prize for this discovery, (along with fellow radioastronomer Marlin Ryle). Jocelyn Bell was not included as it was assumed that the "senior man" was responsible for the work. This was controversial and has been condemned by many leading astronomers like Fred Hoyle (who with Thomas Gold was first able to explain the signals as due to a rapidly rotating neutron star). Jocelyn Bell Burnell herself has stated she was not upset. Bell Burnell has a great career and won many honours after her impressive start, but her exclusion from the Nobel win, based on her own research strikes me and many others as one of the more blatant and egregious examples of gender bias in the selection of Nobel prize recipients.
Cover of Joy Division's 1979 album 'Unknown Pleasures'
designed by Peter Saville, using the pulsar data
from the Cambridge Encyclopaedia of Astronomy
Not only the discovery, but the presentation of the data is impressive and elegant. The famous diagram (I've included behind her, and shown above) shows superimposed images of successive pulses. Stripped down to their essential information like sparklines (chart lines without annotation or axes, but drawn of course to a common scale) so their regularity really stands out, and they can be easily compared and contrasted. If you are used to looking at time series, you'll know that since they can be easily superimposed and the pulses line up, that the frequency is quite regular. The diagram is downright eloquent, and visually appealing, so it has been included in books on data visualization and was used in the iconic design of Joy Division's 'Unknown Pleasures' album. From there the diagram itself has become a sort of visual meme and can be found in all sorts of different media and reinterpreted in everything from tattoos to fashion. (You can read my take on this meme itself here: Astrophysical Meme: Jocelyn Bell Burnell's Pulsar, Little Green Me, Joy Division and Beautiful Data ).

Weather Prognosticating Rodent Day
It's that time of year again - the day we harass the celebrity rodents and use their sense of their own shadows, or lack thereof as a cue to weather forecasting. Happy Groundhog Day!
Groundhog votes are in: Shubenacadie Sam: no shadow; Wiarton Willie: shadow; Punxsutawney Phil shadow, minouette's linocut thermochromic groundhog print: shadow. I bet my print is more accurate than some of those celebrity rodents (cough! Shubenacadie Sam). False positives (which would occur if it's above 30C or 86 F on February 2nd in Toronto) are unlikely.
If you live near me, chances are good (as in most years) that there will be 6 more weeks of winter, beyond the 2nd of February, but I do hope that your weather is not too harsh and may even be enjoyable whereever you are.

The Alpha Programme: Research into a Contemporary Evangelical Initiative
Stephen Hunt
Issued Date: 10 Feb 2007
The Alpha course is possibly the most widespread and best known evangelizing initiative of recent times. Billing itself as an introduction into 'basic Christianity', Alpha is an innovating course that has been adopted world-wide by tens of thousands of churches. This paper overviews the research methods of a national survey in the UK which were utilized in order to investigate and analyse various aspects of Alpha including its use in different contexts, who joins the programme and why, and its anticipated levels of success. These aspects of Alpha were explored through a variety of research methods; questionnaires; semi-structured interviews; participant observation; and a literature review.

The Zenlike Beauty of Seoul's 27 River Bridges
John Metcalfe
A photographer investigates the massive, mysterious underbellies of Han River overpasses.
Unless you're a troll, odds are you don't spend a lot of time under bridges. Photographer Manuel Alvarez Diestro has, though, and his documentation of these obscures spaces is full of industrial beauty and glimpses into the infinite.
Alvarez Diestro, who hails from London, got the inspiration to peer under the bridges while spending the past six months in South Korea's capital. "One of the most iconic locations in Seoul is the Han River," he says. "While riding my bike along the river, I could not resist the idea of conducting a work about the 27 bridges that connect Seoul's north and south."
The artist decided to shoot from below to highlight the gargantuan underpinnings of the bridges, rife with geometric allure, as well as to give the spans an alien quality. He explains via email:
I was fascinated with the monumentality and massiveness of the supporting structures through pillars and beams and the receding perspective that they generate. Each bridge has its distinctive design qualities which create different vistas.
The grandiosity of the supporting structures in the river and the spaces they create also generate a mysterious quality that inspired me to conduct the work, as we no longer see their main function, which is to connect people across the metropolis.

When ordering items that are too big for standard package delivery, you may be faced with some unfamiliar options.
There are Frequently Asked Questions about shipping options for furniture and other large items. Making yourself aware of these options help unpleasant surprises.
Wading through a bevy of terms like "drop ship" and "LTL" can be intimidating and the costs may be shocking. Large items like furniture, appliances and machinery are most often shipped by eighteen wheel trucks that maximize their profits by combining as many items as possible going to one geographic region. Shipping by this method may be less costly than other, more deluxe services but for those who do not ship often the costs may still seem higher than expected and the services may be less than desired.
Shipping groups of items that weigh less than 5000 pounds is typically classified as Less Than Truckload or LTL service. At this level you can expect there to be items for other customers in the trailer. Normally when shipping LTL the driver will pull to a delivery dock or as close to the delivery point as possible and expect the customer (called the consignee) to literally go into the trailer, pull out their items and unload them. Most trucking companies offer a menu of "a la carte" options like having the driver help unload or an automatic lift at the trailer gate for an additional charge.
At the other end of the spectrum are full-service delivery and installations. These higher-end services are offered by specialized trucking and delivery companies whose standard services include bringing items into their destination point. Again, an a la carte menu of options is available for even more service like product placement (installation) or even hauling out old items.
Damages can happen regardless of the level of service. It is critical that every item be visually inspected at the moment of delivery. If any damage is spotted, no matter how minor, it is essential to note it in writing with the driver on the delivery receipt or bill of lading (BOL). If an item is accepted by the customer without any damage notations then the delivery company assumes the item was delivered in excellent condition. Written documentation about damages is critical if repair or replacement is required.
Shipping companies are a little bit like banks in the sense that they are governed by a very detailed set of federal regulations that serve to protect both customers and trucking companies. The flexibility or restrictions of truck drivers and their companies may be limited by these regulations. When in doubt, ask your sales person to fully explain your options so that you pick the right service for you. The moment of excitement when your recently purchased items show up for delivery can quickly be dashed if you are not aware of your obligations to unload or move the items yourself!


When we thought we couldn't face another morsel of food a couple of days later (there was always too much to eat), he would take all that remained and transformed them in a single pot to make the "leftover soup". Everyone would be back at the table, pronto. Nobody wanted to miss out on this sweet, sour, spicy, succulent and flavoursome bowl. He would also never fail to serve me copious amount of my favourite dish – longevity noodle in Chinese red rice wine.
I had initially intended to document each and every one of these recipes, but I realised no matter how I try to recreate any of them, it's the people that makes these meals special, although the yumminess certainly helps in keeping us attached to the table all the time :) Besides, if you know anything about cooking in most typical Chinese families, you know that they often cook by feel and by taste, and mine is no exception. Trying to quantify the amount of ingredients add to each dish without getting in their way is a bigger task than you could imagine.
Yes…'the leftover soup' is one of my fave too especially when u have some duck meat in it and that particular vege!!!
Yes, the magic vege. I never knew what it's called in English, hehe..

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) have published draft revised guidelines for assessing the environmental risks of medicines in the environment (EMA 2018)1. The guidelines are published with a six-month consultation period and stakeholders are invited to provide comments by 30th June 2019.
This represents the first major revision of the guidance since 2006. The proposed updates include changes to the data requirements for a pharmaceutical environmental risk assessment (ERA). Notably the OECD 308 water /sediment simulation study is no longer an obligatory Phase II Tier A study requirement, although data from this study may be used for refinement of the risk assessment in Tier B or a persistence bioaccumulation or toxicity (PBT) assessment. The new guidance also allows for tailored risk assessments for some types of substance (e.g. endocrine active substances and antibiotics). There is more technical detail provided on the required environmental tests which is hoped to improve the consistency of assessments. There are new sections providing details on the specific requirements for addressing endocrine active substances (EAS), PBT assessments, and secondary poisoning.
For the terrestrial risk assessment an earthworm reproduction study is required rather than an acute toxicity test.
Although in draft form our experience has found that the regulator is already referring to the guidance in their assessments. Please contact me if you need help with an environmental risk assessment for your medicinal product or would like to understand how these changes might impact your active pharmaceutical ingredients.


Pinterest is a social media network that is a pinboard-style photo-sharing website that allows users to create, share and manage theme-based image and video collections such as interests, sport, fashion etc. Users can view other peoples pinboards for images and videos and 're-pin' any image or video that they like to your own pinboards, similar to Facebook's 'like' button. Users can either upload images from their computer or pin things they find on the web using the Pinterest bookmarklet, Pin It button, or just a URL .
Pinterest was launched in March 2010 as a closed beta and people could join by invitation only.
According to Hitwsie, in December 2011, Pinterest joined the top 10 largest social media platforms in the world, with over 11 million visitors per week. At the beginning of 2012, it drove more visitors to retail websites than Google+, LinkedIn and YouTube, while at the same time became the fastest growing site in history, with 11.7 million unique visitors, most of which are female.
83% of Pinterest users are women. In the U.S., the most popular categories are Fashion, Desserts, Clothes and Birthdays.
Social media marketing is ever evolving for businesses, even more so now with the introduction of Pinterest and can be a challenge to keep up to date with all that is going on.

A recognized leader in the area of electric yacht propulsion, Torqeedo has captured the market's attention with the new pod motors used in its Cruise 2.0/4.0/10.0 saildrives, and especially with the modified Cruise 4.0 used in Hanse's innovative E-Motion Rudder Drive. The three saildrives are listed as having the same propulsive power as combustion engines of 5, 8 and 20hp, with the basic drive leg/motor units weighing 33lb, 35lb and 81lb respectively. They are available as complete systems with lithium batteries, a no-snag single-lever control, a computer with a 7in graphical color display and the TorqTrac smartphone remote control app. The folding propeller can also supply regenerative power for battery charging under sail. Hanse's E-Motion Rudder Drive, as seen on the boatbuilder's 315 sloop, makes the most of this compact and innovative technology by incorporating a drive unit directly in the trailing edge of a Jefa rudder, with the motor/folding prop fitted into the upper portion of the foil. The result, thanks to a total rudder travel of 100 degrees and the propeller thrust always being in line with rudder, is exceptional maneuverability, especially at slower speeds where a conventional rudder is least effective—a true godsend for those who keep their boats in crowded marinas.


EUR/USD is currently trading with a bearish Bias. The pair bounced off from the upper resistive red trendline and is currently trading short as previously forecasted. We expect the level 1.08297 to have been the end of wave (4), and thus marking the beginning of wave (5). We choose to remain short in this pair as long as it trades below this the upper red trend line.Ideally, wave (5) should target 1.05179, or even below to 1.04573. Traders trading this pair should also look for similar price movements in EUR/HKD, AUD/CAD, and EUR/ZAR. These pairs have a very strong positive correlation to Euro and are thus expected to move in a similar direction. Thus only buy or sell Euro if all the other positively correlated pairs are giving the same signal.


Do you watch the 2016 Olympic Games every night, or are you letting newly-minted Olympic correspondent Leslie Jones sum it up for you? If so, you're missing out on some real feats — such as volleyball suddenly seeming exciting, after watching Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross trounce their competition like a well-oiled machine. But spectating via Twitter does keep one abreast(stroke) of the games' funniest, most meme-worthy moments: Case in point, the #PhelpsFace incident of August 8.
U.S. champion swimmer Michael Phelps, he of the 23 Olympic medals and 8,000 signature headphones, was waiting to swim in the men's 200m butterfly semi-finals when it appears he saw something he didn't like. Or rather, someone he didn't like: South African swimmer Chad le Clos, who bested Phelps in the category finals in 2012. As le Clos...warmed up? shadowboxed a ghost? in front of him, we, as a nation, were gifted with Phelps' unwavering glare.
Or maybe Phelps was just listening to Eminem's "Lose Yourself" really loudly on repeat and spacing out as he psyched himself up. He says he was okay with it! That face, though. It was good television.
People definitely reveled in the rivalry. Let no American cultural moment go un-Mean Girlsed.
Soon everyone on Twitter was concocting their own reasons for making #PhelpsFace, from horrible news to petty grievances to frankly tiresome connections to the 2016 presidential race. Apparently cartoonish misery is highly relatable! (Phelps took second place, by the way; le Clos placed fourth).
Check out a roundup of some of our favorites below.

Q: How can we find another path
Can you help me about this question please,
Thank you..

A: You want to find a path such that
$$\lim\limits_{(x,y)\to(0,0)}\frac{x^2y}{x^3-y^2}\neq0.$$
The easiest way to do this is maybe check if there is a path where the function is constant. Let us check if it can be equal to $1$.
\begin{align*}
\frac{x^2y(x)}{x^3-y^2(x)}&=1\\
y^2(x)+x^2y(x)-x^3&=0\\
y(x)&=-\frac12x^2\pm\frac12\sqrt{x^4+4x^3}
\end{align*}
where $\sqrt{x^4+4x^3}\ge0$. Now the limit becomes
$$\lim\limits_{x\to0^+}\frac{x^2y(x)}{x^3-y^2(x)}=1.$$
Since we now have two different values for the limit, the function can not be continuous and furthermore not differentiable at $(x,y)=(0,0)$.

Trouville outgunned Urunday Univ. in the opener. Trouville made 21-of-26 charity shots (80.8 percent) during the game. Worth to mention a great performance of American guard Donald Robinson (193-89, college: WVU Tech) who helped to win the game recording 20 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists (made all of his eight free throws). Naturalized Italian point guard Marcos Marotta (180-89) contributed with 16 points and 9 rebounds for the winners. Trouville's coach Alvaro Tito allowed to play the deep bench players in such tough game. Emilio Taboada (191-82, agency: Pro Sports) answered with 29 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists and American power forward Chaz Crawford (207-84, college: Drexel) added 18 points and 10 rebounds in the effort for Urunday Univ.
Defensor upset Aguada on the road for the opening win. Defensor dominated down low during the game scoring 50 of its points in the paint compared to Aguada's 28. American power forward Eric Dawson (206-84, college: Midwestern St., agency: Interperformances) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 19 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks for the winners and his fellow American import forward Anthony Young (200-89, college: Ky Wesleyan) chipped in 20 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Dawson is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. Four Defensor players scored in double figures. At the losing side forward Demian Alvarez (192-84, agency: Pro Sports) responded with 21 points and 6 rebounds and American center Ricardo Glenn (203-90, college: USC Upstate, agency: HMS) produced a double-double by scoring 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Nacional rallied past Olimpia to take the lead. American John DeGroat (201-85, college: Pittsburgh) fired 27 points and 4 steals for the winners. Naturalized Spanish center Esteban Batista (208-83, agency: Duran International) chipped in a double-double by scoring 11 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists. American forward John Dickson (198-90, college: Sacramento St.) produced 22 points and 4 assists and point guard Brian Garcia (180-90) added 18 points and 4 assists respectively for lost side. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Olimpia's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help.
Malvin held off Bigua in Game 1. Forward Marcel Souberbielle (200-91, college: Indiana, PA) nailed 17 points for the winning side and naturalized Brazilian center Hatila Passos (211-85, college: N.Mexico St.) accounted for 6 points and 13 rebounds. American Storm Warren (201-88, college: LSU) came up with a double-double by scoring 19 points and 11 rebounds and American guard Charles Hinkle (198-88, college: American) added 10 points and 5 rebounds respectively for Bigua in the defeat.

I've always enjoyed these workhorses. Toyota sold these as a cab and chassis. They were most commonly fitted with flatbeds, boxes and campers. This one happens to be about 75 feet long.
I definitely remember seeing a TON of these with boxes on the back as UHAUL trucks not long ago. Most of them have been replaced by the ubiquitous Ford or Chevy/GMC full size chassis cab vans now though.
I always wondered what powered these. If it was just some motor from the regular Tacoma line these were probably terribly underpowered with a load!
