"Artists are the last space explorers. I'm always trying to expose space and create an exploration space for the spectator, the viewership."
Q&A with Sherri Cobb
Where did you grow up?
Well, that's an interesting question. I grew up in many places, aspects of which are all included in my paintings one way or another. I was born in Kingsville, Texas but I didn't spend too much time there. Many of my younger years were spent moving throughout the Sun Belt. Many of my earliest memories are from my home in Central Florida on "Stone Island." On this spit of land off the St. Johns River, I swam with alligators, was chased down in the swamps by water moccasins and swam in tannin filled black water. Stone Island was a game preserve during the Prohibition and people would ferry from many places to this little island for the weekend—probably to booze it up and hunt for wild turkey. But there was also a ton of jungle wildlife to be found there, from Florida panthers and bears to gators, osprey and snakes. When I was nine years old we moved to Tucson, Arizona, for four years and then back to Texas. Only this time we didn't return to Kingsville, we moved to Austin, where, to this day, I love to spend a lot of time.
When did you start painting?
I was a creative child from the get-go, creating my own world as I climbed trees and swam on the island. I wanted to draw these worlds that I had imagined while playing. So my mom, recognizing this desire, reached out to one of my neighbor's on Stone Island, Sherry Mullen, who was an artist for Disney. An accomplished oil painter of landscape, still life, and animals, Sherry took me under her wing, and my mom paid her four dollars an hour (wow maybe it was even two dollars) to teach me how to paint. Perhaps it wasn't such a stretch that I'd take to oil painting so quickly during those two years of private instruction. Art is in my blood, as my grandmother, too, was an artist.

Besides a genetic predisposition, did you pick up a lot from your grandmother?
Yes. She did figurative works for most of her life and her art intrigued me for sure. She moved to New York City from Hamburg, Germany in the late 30's with my (Belgian born) grandfather who who worked for NBC radio. She would go to the Metropolitan Museum and do the copy work that other women would do at the time. So, now in my own collection are some of the copy works my grandmother did: copies of Rembrandt, Manet, drawings and small studies among others.
Given that you were basically Mowgli from The Jungle Book, what did you think of living in Arizona?
I moved to Arizona when I was nine years old. My parents were into health, so we'd often hike the Santa Catalina and Tucson Mountains. After being surrounded by water and tall cypress trees in Florida, I found the desert terrain to be truly fascinating. This stunning contrast occurred at such a formative time in my life that I think it's one of the reasons why contrast is such a prominent theme throughout my work. While living in Arizona, I continued my private lessons in art with another woman who charged even more money. I think she was a whole eight dollars an hour! That continued for the few years I was there. We then moved to Austin when I was 13 and I simply took art courses through my public education all the way through high school. At age 17, my family moved to the Bay area of California where my art path took a serious turn. I studied with a wonderful Bay area painter, Bill Rushton, who I am still friends with to this day.
How did living in California sap your inner artist?
Well it wasn't so much California as it was my parents. I had been accepted into a couple of the best art schools, but my parents had sticker shock from esteemed places like Otis & Cal Arts. So I did the next best thing. I studied art at my local community college. Throughout my entire childhood I had parents that had loved and supported this endeavor and then when I was nearing my independence, following my art destiny, if you will, they were consumed by fear and doubt. My aspirations where met with the typical parental pragmatism, "Your so talented, but you really can't make a living doing this. You should look for a job that is stable or safe." Well, that really rattled me.
So, I quit school and went to work full time in the internet industry for the first few years, worked in sales for an assembly & fabrication company for prototype printed circuit boards, fashion sales and high-end leather goods sales. Even though I wasn't essentially pursuing an art education at the time, all the above allowed me to realize how creative I could be with the products I was working for or with, I become especially passionate when it comes to products I believe in! So it is interesting how this collaboration with Cetuvi really brings my history full-circle.
But you have an MFA so obviously you decided to rebel against the fam at some point.
Hell yes! (laughs…) In 1996, I moved back to Austin with the intention of studying art at the University of Texas. I had to wait a year to get my residency so, once again, I enrolled in the community college. In the interim of that year, I was mentored by Mexican Muralist Raul Valdez as well as Madelon Umlauf. She's the daughter of the famed American sculpter, Charles Umlauf. Much of his life's work can be found at the UMLAUF Sculpture Garden & Museum in Austin. Farrah Fawcett modeled for Madelon's father while she was his student. She was quite a talented artist/sculptor and I think that art was her first love. But she was just so damn, breathtakingly beautiful that her art was overshadowed her looks, making her best known as an actress and the woman who changed poster popularity! Anyway, both Madelon and Raul encouraged me to reach beyond Texas for my education and career, so I strategically applied to art schools in New York, California, and Illinois. I was accepted into all of them. This was as a complete affirmation that made me think, "Okay, I'm not crazy. My parents love me and are simply trying to protect from a life of uncertainty. This is pretty cool right? I mean, everybody wants me!" I received a couple of grants and awards based upon my portfolio from the School of Visual Arts in NYC and subsequently graduated with honors. The only painter to do so for the 2002 year.
Everybody still wants you and not just for your paintings. You're a sculptor of bodies as well?
Yes, it is true (laughs). I am a personal trainer, too. Truthfully, working as a trainer is not so dissimilar to my painting. I think of both in terms of layers. Layering paint or creating healthy layers for a skeleton, healthy mental layers, and all those things that go into creating health. I have done cadaver labs and worked with some of the best professionals in the field to further my understanding of human anatomy, mechanics, and function. Applying the appropriate protocol for the unique individuals that I work with requires this deep level of understanding. After all, they are all works of art.
Don't be shy, these aren't just "any bodies" you're sculpting. Is it true that you are the go-to for Royalty, like the Duchess of York?
All of my clients are awesome, but yes, I've done sweat care for the Duchess of York and put a pump or two together for both Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice. What many people don't understand about "Dutch" is that her job is very demanding and she does an extensive amount of charity work all over the globe. So I'm sure she would love to see me more often, but our schedules are our schedules, right?
So back to the drawing board so to speak: How can one recognize a work by Sherri Cobb?
It's hard to classify my work as one type of art. It's part Abstract Expressionism, Pop art, Color Field sprinkled with a Baroque attitude. If you blow them all through a cannon, you get a Sherri Cobb. My gestures are very specific and unique to me, be it painting with full-shoulder expression, wrist articulation, or me physically standing atop a canvas to create "worlds." I alter a viewer's experience with my art through the use of color and gestures. Life shows up there. The, "I exist!" mentality that we all share in common is there too. Arizona shows up in the theme of color arrangements, life on the island in Florida shows up in the sublime sfumatos—the gradual haze between color shifts. There is mystery. I think someone who understands that color projects space unique to technique, process, and color experience will be able to spot my work.
So for those who might not fully understand color at that level, how do you explain it?
While pursuing my MFA, I took 'Color Seminar' a color theory class with the Dean of the Art Department at Hunter College. Sanford Wurmfeld, a wonderful color field painter who made me see and understand color in a whole new way; and it's difficult to fully describe! From a fitness perspective, an elbow doesn't simply bend, there are 4,000 variants of elbow "bending" known as flexion. What if I could patiently put onto canvas 4,000 tones of blue? I mean, how experiential would that be to do something that could create an abyss for the viewer?! Because you'll never know what it's like to be in an abyss. So you can imagine the idea of beauty and sublime pushed into one moment. I use color in a way to elicit a type of joy, to be fully immersed in a particular expression of color.
What's the concept behind the painting we lovingly chopped up to constitute this Cetuvi series?
Given the process in which I paint, staining raw canvas, we weren't sure how the protective epoxy would react, so Jefferson at Cetuvi wanted to test a sample. I don't do anything half-assed so instead of sending the 2" x 2" sample requested, I decided to staple a full 2' x 6' canvas to my studio floor and use the opportunity to play with my wavelength theory, contrast, and this idea of tipping points. Tipping point theory, or when something is in a state of crescendo, be it music, an emotional climax in a movie, or an ocean wave, there is this amazingly intense arc just before it releases. Within the sample that I sent Jefferson, I used carbon black against a light canvas to drive home the dramatic dichotomy. And the softness of the blues sluices out of the black, suggesting the release and ease. This contrast is reinforced by the materials, with the canvas being raw and unfinished and the surface of the handbags being sleek and refined. Displaying and preserving art in this way is in itself a 'tipping point.' When Cetuvi received my test sample, they loved the rawness of it and thought the simplicity of color would translate beautifully into a collection. So we all decided to use it for a preview release, leaving in all of the wonderful marks left behind when one pioneers something, be it the random staple dimples, pencil lines from playing around with handbag template cuts, or salvaging the canvas scraps to create a portion of the collection we playfully titled, "Fringe Benefits."
What made the idea of doing a Cetuvi collection appeal to you?
I was immediately drawn to the quality and craftsmanship, obviously. But what appealed to me most is the idea of softening presentation and what we expect from art and the art world. The idea of taking an authentic, original work by an artist with a distinguishable mark and converting it into a movable piece, like Hemmingway's, "Moveable Feast." I mean, it's a collaboration, right? It's two ideas coming into one. As a process-oriented painter, how I arrive upon my work is very important. I have these rituals and personal rules so that they can create a dialogue. But I wanted to be open to breaking these rules in the name of the same end goal. Cetuvi handbags are breaking the mold in the way art can be presented and communicated. I love the appeal of that.
Well, collaboration seems to be an important hallmark for you, tell us a little about Sherri Cobb Gallery Presents.
'SCGP' is a way for me to share my studio space: Backwater Studios here in Bushwick, Brooklyn (NYC) with other artists. It's an open call if you will. Artists can come to me with an art project, idea, or exhibit. Once a month I have an opening featuring a select artist. It is a curated show that has already created a buzz and healthy network of community. It mimics this mantra I have which is to soften the idea of art presentation in the gallery setting. It brings it back into the home of the actual studio where it's made. I think people seem to be more comfortable to talk about art in a space where there's a wood shop, chop saw, hammers, and canvas rolled up in the corner. At my openings it is very fascinating to see the conversations that take place within my art space. I've experienced conversations for years in gallery settings, where it's more formal and those conversations tend to play out in a way that can leave everyone a little frustrated or even guarded. During my events, everybody's in a different mindset, and the setting is carefree, loving even. This space relieves all the pressures of talking about pricing and buying. Maybe I'm completely off point. All I know is that I want to come at 'Art' from a different angle. There are talented artists out there unknown to many that I think are really interesting. These are the folks that I will endlessly try to empower and advocate through SCGP. Whether these creators are making hot sauce or art, I am here for those who possess the passion and are open to collaboration. The same goes for this exciting endeavor with Cetuvi. I believe in this project with Jefferson and am beyond excited.
Whoa, you hear that? {music from a NYC street brass band kicks up in the background as we end the call.}
Yeah. The party has started.

Bernard Yarnton Mills AC, FRS, FAA, DSc(Eng) (8 August 1920 – 25 April 2011) was an Australian engineer and a pioneer of radio astronomy in Australia, responsible for the design and implementation of the Mills Cross Telescope and the Molonglo Cross Telescope.

Life
Bernard Mills was born on 8 August 1920 in Manly. His father, Ellice Mills, was an architect who had migrated from England before the First World War. His mother, Sylphide Dinwiddie, was a dance teacher from New Zealand.

He was educated at the King's School, and at the age of 16, was awarded a scholarship to study engineering at the University of Sydney. He completed his degree in 1942, and was awarded first class honours in 1950 for his thesis A Million-Volt Resonant-Cavity X-ray Tube presented for his Master of Engineering degree. In 1942 he married Lerida Karmalsky, who won the Australian Chess championship in 1940 at the age of 18, and they had 3 children. In 1969 Lerida died; the following year he married Crys, who had two children of similar age to Mills' children.

In 1948 he commenced working with the CSIR's newly formed radio astronomy group, where he had the idea for what became known as the Mills Cross radio telescope; the first Mills Cross Telescope became operational in 1954. In 1959 he became a doctor of science in engineering. In 1960 he was appointed reader in physics at the University of Sydney, where he developed the concept for the "Super Cross". In 1965 he was appointed professor of physics (astrophysics). The Molonglo Cross Telescope became operational in 1967.

He was retired by the university in 1985.

De Boston Marathon 1917 werd gelopen op donderdag 19 april 1917. Het was de 21e editie van deze marathon. De Amerikaan William Kennedy finishte als eerste in 2:28.37,2.

Evenals in voorgaande jaren was het parcours, ten opzichte van de sinds de Olympische Spelen van 1908 gevestigde opvatting dat de marathon een lengte van 42,195 km hoorde te hebben, te kort. Het was namelijk nog steeds tussen de 37 en 38,8 km lang.

The space at the back of this railway arch, opposite one of the schools where John works, is where he makes his compost. He diligently hauls green waste over from the school in a wheelbarrow. If I'm lucky I get a share, provided I go and pick it up.
He used to have a large greenhouse where he kept his pots and tools and potted-on succulents but the school is being rebuilt and it had to go to make space for temporary buildings. So now he is annexed to the arches.
The floor of the arches is made up of different kinds of stone - granite setts, old brick, York stones on edge and Portland pavers - that look like they have been here for hundreds of years, and probably have. In fact, the arches uwere used as stables up until around the mid 50s, with carthorses housed there.
This is what James Lees Milne had to say on 1st July 1944 - "At six I met James and ...we tubed to Aldgate East. We walked down the Commercial Road to the river. God, the squalor, the desolation and the dreariness of the East End."
I love reading about the borrowers, and your local environment, and the arches and the green shoots that grow in spite of marauding sheep.
Hurrah for rus in urbis!
Is this the allotments at Johnson Street, London E1? I grew up near there (was educated by the nuns who live in Hardinge Street convent) and I know the school is currently being rebuilt. Enjoy your blog especially as so much of your London is my London.
Awww, bless him. (And John, for taking him new bedding). It's said that home is wherever you lay your hat. Does he have a hat, Man Under The Arches?
I wanted to write about a space that falls short of picture book beauty and shiny newness but which has meaning for the people and a perverse beauty of its own. (Stones, bit of a thing of mine) I decided to amend the blog slightly to protect the innocent though. Just in case. And Joan, your London is indeed my London.
Wonderful cobbles. The West London mews, where I lived in the late 1960s, was completely cobbled as there were originally stables on either side. I just looked at the photos that I took last October of the same street to see if the cobbles had been covered in tarmac - the old mews stables and flats above having recently been converted into luxury townhouses. Yes, it was now tarmac covered, apart from a narrow strip of cobbles which had been left exposed on either side of the street; the only remaining link with the street's former life.
compost can bring anything to life.
I've been really enjoying seeing glimpses of London through your eyes. I love those moments when the history of the city breaks through all the starbucks etc.

Dupilumab is the first biologic registered for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). We report on seven patients with AD presenting with a paradoxical head and neck erythema that appeared 10-39 weeks after the start of dupilumab treatment. The patients presented with a relatively sharply demarcated, patchy erythema in the head and neck area that showed no or less scaling compared with their usual eczema. Only one patient experienced symptoms of itch and burning, although this was notably different from his pre-existent facial AD. Except for a notable 'red face', eczema on other body parts had greatly improved in six of the seven patients, with a mean numerical rating scale for treatment satisfaction of 9 out of 10 at the time of biopsy. Treatment of the erythema with topical and systemic drugs was unsuccessful. Despite the presence of this erythema, none of our patients discontinued dupilumab treatment. Lesional skin biopsies showed an increased number of ectatic capillaries, and a perivascular lymphohistiocytic infiltration in all patients. In addition, epidermal hyperplasia with elongation of the rete ridges was observed in four patients, resembling a psoriasiform dermatitis. Additional immunohistochemical stainings revealed increased numbers of plasma cells, histiocytes and T lymphocytes. Interestingly, spongiosis was largely absent in all biopsies. We report on patients with AD treated with dupilumab developing a paradoxical erythema in a head and neck distribution. Both clinically and histopathologically we found a heterogeneous response, which was most suggestive of a drug-induced skin reaction. © 2019 The Authors.

There was no outlook written for Dillon Sterling-Cole in 2018. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
Sterling-Cole was mentioned specifically by head coach Herm Edwards as he discussed freshman set to play against Fresno State, Doug Haller of The Athletic reports.
Sterling-Cole has only accumulated stats twice this season, rushing two times for 22 yards in the opener against Texas-San Antonio and missing his two pass attempts in Week 8 against USC. With current starter Manny Wilkins set to graduate after the bowl game, the coaching staff will look to get the freshman a couple of reps to better prepare him for possibly taking over the starting duties next season. He won't have an easy time, however, facing a Fresno State defense that is ranked 23rd in the country in pass defense (193.2 yards per game).
Sterling-Cole will likely redshirt this season, Doug Haller of AZCentral.com reports.
Sterling-Cole completed 21-of-38 passes for 302 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions and carried eight times for 23 yards and a second score Saturday as Arizona State fell to Oregon 54-35 on the road in Eugene.
Sterling-Cole will start Saturday against Oregon, Steve Mims of the Register-Guard reports.
Sterling-Cole is being prepped to start Saturday's game against Oregon in the event Manny Wilkins (shoulder) is unable to play, Doug Haller of the Arizona Republic reports.
Sterling-Cole converted 7-of-16 passes for 86 yards and carried five times for minus-two yards Saturday as Arizona State fell to Washington State 37-32 at home in Tempe.


Even after Christmas, Bond Street was buzzing! My last shoots had been taken at Soho Square, so it was a pleasant evening walk down through Soho to Piccadilly Circus and the back along Piccadilly to the beginning of (Old) Bond Street. The two streets, Old and New Bond Street, run from Piccadilly up to Oxford Street and have some of the glitziest shops in the West End (and more security guards than you want to be dealing with). At first you don't notice them, but then as you get out your camera and start shooting it becomes very obvious how many there are. The ones in the shops start looking out at you and using their radios and then you become aware of large men (with hearing aids?) out on the street taking a subtle interest in you. So, I took their pictures too and was happy to let them know that I realised who they were. I guess they have a job to do too and as they didn't didn't want to engage directly with me, I was happy to continue shooting. A little further up the street I saw two full size tanks driving down Old Bond Street. It was just a tourist activity, but one I feel sure the West End of London could do without! In the end the images I chose this week were of shop fronts without any obvious security... A busy street with rubbish put out for collection, a silhouette of a lady walking past a great shop front and a man looking at a picture in another shop window. I must admit that I liked Bond Street. It had some odd people and some expensive shops but it was vibrent and lively, even on a cold January evening.


After DeepVeer's traditional and NickYanka's royal wedding, its time to gear up for the big fat wedding of Mukesh Ambani's only daughter Isha to Anand Piramal. It will surely be the biggest wedding of the year and Ambani's will leave no-stone-unturned to make it memorable.
According to reports the Ambanis have roped in celebrity designer Manish Malhotra to design clothes for the staff of Oberoi Udaivilas and the City Palace for pre-wedding ceremonies.
As per a report in DNA, students of Aurangabad Institute of Hotel Management would be the one who will serve the guests in Udaipur and they will be groomed by Manish Malhotra. The report further suggests that the designer will dress up the security personnel and artists who will perform at the pre-wedding bash.
Recently, the designer has designed for Isha Ambani's engagement held at Lake Como, Italy. Malhotra also designed for Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas' for the pre-wedding ceremonies. PeeCee-Nick along with Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner was spotted wearing Indian traditional clothes design by the ace designer.
Meanwhile, the pre-wedding ceremonies of Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal will take place between December 8 and 9. According to reports, there are 400 luxurious and traditional cars have been brought to receive the guests for the pre-wedding event. The couple will tie the knot on December 12 in Mumbai.


Thought I needed a chest rig unit that held more capacity ( 8 magazines )but really don't. These are not made very often or up for sale very often. Bought Jan 2018. Similar in capacity and some similar features to the NSW Rig that they rarely make but this comes at a cheaper price point. Not looking for any trades.

'American Horror Story: Coven' Paints Millennials as Numb Narcissists Who Are Dead Inside
By Kelsea Stahler
Wednesday night's American Horror Story: Coven delivered an interesting theory on youth culture: Millennials are actually dead inside. It's an assessment that takes the Time Magazine article that called Millennials the "Me Me Me Generation" and claimed they're all "lazy, entitled narcissists who live with their parents." To be fair, Joel Stein did have research claiming narcissism was at all-time high among 20-somethings. Murphy's assessment is just cruel.
We hear his diatribe in the form of Madison Montgomery's (Emma Roberts) inner monologue after she's brought back to life. Stalking around the house like a half-zombie, the gash in her neck still gaping from where Fiona sliced it, Madison laments that she no longer feels anything. She burns her hand to a crisp and doesn't flinch. She fills her body with an entire Thanksgiving dinner and it doesn't register. This lack of feeling, she decides, is akin to what it feels like to be a millennial.
I am a millennial. Generation Y, born between the birth of aids and 9/11 give or take. They call us the Global Generation. We are known for our entitlement and narcissism. Some say it's because we're the first generation where every kid gets a trophy just for showing up. Others think it's because social media allows us to post whenever we fart or have a sandwich for all the world to see. But it seems that our one defining trait is a numbness to the world, an indifference to suffering. I know that I did anything I could to not feel — sex, drugs, booze. Just take away the pain. Take away my mother and my asshole father and the press. Take away the boys I loved who wouldn't love me back. Hell, I was gang-raped, two days later I was back in class like nothing happened. I mean that must have hurt like hell, right? Most people never get over stuff like that, and I was like, 'Let's go for Jamba Juice.' I would give everything I have or have ever had just to feel pain again. To feel hurt.
In one meaty paragraph, we're treated to a sweeping generalization: millennials are like undead corpses roaming the Earth and taking selfies, and we'd best not waste the ability to feel everything while we still have it. Just look at Madison; now she's stuck taking every pill she can find and having sex with Zoe's Franken-boy toy, who's capable of little more than thrusting and grunting, just on the hope that she might feel something. We shouldn't take our humanity for granted. By episode's end, even cool cucumber Zoe has given into carnal delights as she agrees to engage in a ménage à trois with her two undead compadres. They've learned what it's like to feel again, shouldn't you do the same, young viewers glued to Twitter while this episode is playing in front of your faces?
It seems a bit odd that American Horror Story would rally so harshly against a great segment of its audience — and the section that makes it such a staple on social media. Sure, there are some millennial fans who seem to be heartless (more than we'd like to think are out there, as a matter of fact), but this sweeping generalization of millennials as unfeeling zombies is not only harsh, it's as cold as Madison's dead hands.
At the basest point, it would actually seem that we all feel too much, as a generation. This meal is on Instagram because at this in moment in time, it feels life-changing. I'm posting this tweet about how awful my day is because it seems that nothing could ever be worse than having someone spill a latte on your new pants. This bowl of pasta I cooked is a lifetime achievement worth sharing with the world, okay? As it stands, the narcissism claim might not be so far off.
But the problem with Murphy's approach is that is does what every other criticism of Gen Y has done for the past few years: reduce us to a field of drones who grunt "selfie" and "Twitter" in unison. Sure, as people growing up with tools practically created to stroke our egos, it's hard to maintain a sense of understanding outside of ourselves. And sure, we're exposed to so much via the plethora of information mediums at our fingertips that we can sometimes appear to be unmoved. Some of us let these technological gifts wash over us and make us numb, but I'd beg to differ that there are many of us who take these endowments as methods by which to increase our knowledge and emotional aptitude.
It's services like Twitter and Facebook that spread information so quickly that within minutes, the entire nation can be brought to a pause to support and honor victims of terrible tragedy, to celebrate those who achieve great success, and (when that's not an option) to worship Beyonce. It's these systems that have allowed us to feel connected to people we may have lost to distance, and even those who we might never have known at all.
Sure, there are many members of the millennial generation who want a gold star for writing their names down correctly and who'd rather read a list of the Top 23 Pictures of Terrible Things Happening to Unfortunate People than something that might actually make them think or feel. But they do not get to represent all of us — your research and charts be damned.
So mock us all you want, Mr. Murphy. But just know, these narcissists are prone to air their grievances all over the Internet and while AHS is a fictionalized twist on history, we (and our non-absent feelings) are very, very real.

New for this winter season, the United States Army and Shore Sports Network have selected a wrestling Team of the Week based on its performance over the past week.
The final recipient of the Army Strong Team of the Week for the 2018 season is Toms River North, which captured its first district team title since 1971 by claiming the NJSIAA District 28 team championship. Shore Sports Network along with Sergeant First Class Nicole McMinamin from the U.S. Army were at practice Thursday to present the Mariners and head coach Bill Wilbert with a special banner to commemorate their accomplishments.
Ryan Rosenthal, Nick Reilly, Nick Boggiano and Juan Nakano each won district titles and four more Toms River North wrestlers finished in the top three as the Mariners won their first district team title since 1971.
Reilly became just the third Toms River North wrestler to win three district titles when he defeated Shawnee's Ed Morriarity, 7-4 in double overtime, to win the 120-pound title. Rosenthal won by fall in both of his bouts, including pinning Shawnee's Ethan Greenberg in the final, to win the 106-pound championship. In one of the top finals matchups in the district, Boggiano defeated Toms River South's Riley Cheong, 5-0, in the 138-pound final. Nakano won by 14-2 major decision over Lenape's Ross Capri to take the 170-pound title.
Jack Oleske (132) and Michael Nakano (182) each finished second and Mark Fedeli (126) and Anthony Clavijo (195) placed third.
Michael Nakano won his preliminary-round bout in the Region 7 Tournament on Wednesday night and will join Rosenthal, Reilly, Boggiano and Juan Nakano in Friday night's quarterfinal round. Each has their eyes set on finishing in the top four of their respective weight classes and qualifying for the state tournament. If either wins a region title they will be Toms River North's first region champion since Taylor Kau, John Morano and Brian Newman each won Region 6 titles in 2009.

Rumour: Apple planning 3G iPod touch
By Chris Smith 2011-07-08T20:22:00.188Z Apple
The king of the MP3 players to get data connectivity?
3G connectivity would make the iPod touch a truly mobile gadget
Apple might be about to close the gap between the iPhone and the iPod touch by kitting-out a new version of the latter with 3G data connectivity, according to reports.
Dutch website AppleSpot.nl is claiming, that like the iPad, the world-beating handheld music and games titan will get a data-only service whenever a new version is launched, likely to be later this year.
So, rather than have a cellular connection to make phone calls, you could use services like Skype to make VoIP voice and video calls, connect to social networks and play games online.
Just like the iPad
A rough translation of the report says: "It will work just like the iPad; you get a 3G enabled simcard from your provider and put that in you iPod Touch.
"Apple's choice of bringing 3G to the iPod Touch isn't all that weird, if it's true of course. Question remains how the providers will react to this, since the use of for example Skype will skyrocket."
While this is still very much in the rumour stage, and we're currently taking it with the proverbial pinch of salt. However it would be an extremely logical step for Apple.
The Wi-Fi only touch prevents it from being a truly mobile gadget as many of the apps and games, as well as the browser depend on wireless connectivity.
Adding 3G to the touch's locker would bring it into line with the Sony PlayStation Vita, a major competitor in the handheld gaming market, while it would open the door for touch owners to use apps like Spotify on the go.

Q: Pass parameters in unit event testing karma Testing an function like this:
beforeEach(inject(function($rootScope, $controller, $injector){
    service = $injector.get('service');
    scope = $rootScope.$new();
    createController = function() {
        return $controller('mainCtrl', {
            '$scope': scope
        });
    };
}));

$scope.$watch('value', function(newVal, oldVal) {
    if(newVal != oldVal)
      service.setValue(newVal);
});

With a test like this:
it("$watch value",function(){
        spyOn(service,'setValue').andCallThrough();
        var controller=createController();
        scope.value = true;
        expect(service.setValue).toHaveBeenCalled();
})

And the spy is never triggered because of the condition.
How can I trigger this watch event with the parameters in order to test if the service is called?

A: Please do following changes :
You need to use scope.$apply(); to update the binding and contoller as syntax to get the controller.value;
While defining controller use this instead of scope so,variable get easily available in Jasmine.
Jasmine script :
describe("test", function() {

    var Service, scope, controller;

    beforeEach(module('inspinia'));
    beforeEach(inject(function($rootScope, $controller, $injector, serviceData) {
        Service = serviceData;

        scope = $rootScope.$new();
        controller = $controller('mainCtrl as ctrl', {
            $scope: scope
        });;

    }));

    it("$watch value", function() {

          spyOn(Service,'setValue').and.callThrough();
          controller.value = 1120;
          scope.$apply();
          controller.value = 1121;
          scope.$apply();
         expect(Service.setValue).toHaveBeenCalled();
    })
})

Angular script :
(function() {
    'use strict';
    angular.module('inspinia', [])
        .controller('mainCtrl', function($scope, serviceData) {

            var ctrl = this;
            ctrl.value = 1230;
            $scope.$watch('ctrl.value', function(newVal, oldVal) {

                if (newVal != oldVal) {
                    console.log(newVal, oldVal, newVal !== oldVal);
                    serviceData.setValue(newVal);
                }
            });

        })
        .factory('serviceData', function() {

            var obj = {};

            obj.setValue = function() {

                console.log(1010)

            }
            return obj;
        });
})();

Рецензии
В своей статье о Dogs Карло Сантос, представитель Anime News Network, сказал, что Сиро Мива вывел «обычную войнушку на уровень искусства», а также подчеркнул, что, казалось бы, мало связанные между собой персонажи «являются превосходной основой для аппетитного зрелища». Сантос сказал, что «необыкновенные панорамы с изогнутой перспективой» поразят читателя «в мгновение ока». Наиболее впечатляющим явилось то, как неброский фон и практическое отсутствие специальных эффектов делают каждую сцену более эффектной, потому что эффект «застывших во времени» событий делает критические моменты более волнующими, чем попытки сделать стоп-кадр в движении. Сантос также подчеркнул то, что Мива удалось успешно «изобразить историю, главным героем которой является пожилой мужчина, который вовсе не похож на сексапильного любимчика молодежи». Однако, Сантос сказал, что это всего лишь ещё одна «помпезная самодостаточная история с пистолетами», и что в ней сложно найти что-то особенно выдающееся, когда Мива «сводит все к обычной бандитской линии». Характеры героев состоят из клише, а сам цикл можно назвать «город-клише». Сантос считает, что все истории слишком слабо связаны друг с другом. Даже несмотря на то, что все герои случайно встречаются друг с другом, это «вовсе не похоже на попытки свести историю в одно русло».
Леруа Дурсо, представитель Comic Book Bin, сказал, что весь том — это «стильный, жестокий триллер в духе таких фильмов, как Криминальное чтиво или Матрица, созданных под влиянием азиатского кино», и что техника рисунка Мива полностью соответствует той элегантности, которая необходима такой манге. Он также считает, что герои стильно одеты, а большинство персонажей «могли бы побороться за первенство в лучших прическах». К тому же, этот цикл не пустышка. Дурсо назвал его «визуально острым» и сказал, что каждый поворот сюжета наполнен собственной осмысленностью. Он убежден, что поклонникам Гарта Энниса и любителям жестокого аниме понравится этот цикл. Кен Хэйли из Manga Recon утверждает, что хотя все четыре истории из тома были интересными и увлекательными, четвёртая история про Хайне «показалась оторванной и будто бы отдельной от остальных трех серий», потому что в ней сочетаются элементы научной фантастики, на которую не было ни намека в предыдущих частях. Хэйли сказал, что иллюстрации Мива увлекательны, а дизайн персонажей интересен и «сочетает в себе элементы современного стиля с тонким намеком на индастриал\готику». То, как Мива использует тяжелые темные и строгие светлые оттенки напомнило Хэйли о Сё Тадзима, иллюстраторе Multiple Personality Detective Psycho, хотя других соответствий между ними не имеется. Он сказал, что стиль Мива динамичный, а чередование сцен «быстрое и стремительное» благодаря широкому использованию эффекта дымки, художественной техники, которая усиливает ощущение расстояния. Однако, так как эта техника используется почти в каждой сцене, она порой не вызывает должного эффекта. Хэйли поддерживает идею, что Мива использовал эту технику в сатирической манере, и если это действительно так, то она сработала. Он также говорит, что ему понравилось практическое отсутствие фонов, так как это придает истории «уникальность» и позволяет лучше передать ощущение современного города. Однако, нехватка фонов означает, что важная информация об окружающем мире должна быть передана через диалоги. Несмотря на это, Хэйли говорит, что ему любопытно будет узнать, что случится дальше, и как истории будут связаны друг с другом.

If we apply the same scrutiny to the Weston alibi, that has been applied to the Hanratty alibi, then there is some doubt.
Yes, Weston was in France, but he showed the couple round the chateau on the Friday, whilst his wife was killed in the UK on late Saturday/early Sunday morning. The hotel clerk could have been mistaken regarding times in the manner that many think Mrs Dinwoodie was.
My last word on tie Weston case- I shall make any further comments on the relevant site.
Graham replied
However, without being sidetracked into another case, the husband�s alibi that he was out of the country at the time of the murder rests on testimony given by a hotel worker 10 days after the event
There is no doubt whatsoever that Tony Weston was in France over the weekend that Janice was murdered. He was in France to negotiate the purchase of a small chateau near Paris. Not only was his presence there confirmed by the hotel staff, it was also confirmed by an English couple he was showing around the chateau, I believe on the Saturday afternoon. No Nudds in this case (thank God...)

He must have been very very careful then to not remove the fingerprints of Gregsten's family which were found all over the interior, including the back seat, as per Mr Lewis Nickolls examination.

do you know in what context Sherrard asked Valerie about Ronald/Ronnie Lofthouse?
This is what happened leading up to the question.
Mr Sherrard told the judge there was one matter he wished to put to Mrs Storie. �I am conscious in a case of this kind that one doesn�t want to mention names in open court that may have nothing whatever to do with the case.� He added �What I wanted to do was put to this witness the name of a certain person.�
Mr Swanwick, asked for his views by the judge, said: �It is a matter for your Lordship. I do not pledge myself not to make use of it.�
Mr Sherrard said he wished to write the name on a piece of paper and pass it to Valerie. The judge said: �I think in the interest of everybody here this should be put quite openly.�
Then there followed the question and answer I reported above.
Also, I�ve been pondering on something you said before � that Alphon did not have legal representation at his id parades. It does appear that MacDougal was not appointed until after he had been charged for the Dalal attack.
Weren�t the police taking an enormous risk on id parades for a potential murder charge by not having a solicitor present to say that he was satisfied with them? Had Alphon been picked, I expect the first thing MacDougal would have done is claim that they were invalid.
Graham has referred to a similar case where no useful forensic evidence was found, despite the killer committing the crime in or next to the car, and then driving it away. This would indicate the A6 murder was not unique in supplying no forensics. However, without being sidetracked into another case, the husband�s alibi that he was out of the country at the time of the murder rests on testimony given by a hotel worker 10 days after the event (who could be the French Nudds for all we know, or if you prefer Mrs. Dinwoodie) and two credit card transactions. Even if these were authorized by the husband, there was still a 24 hour window of opportunity for him to have committed the crime, so I would not call it a �rock solid� alibi.
Quick reply to this message
See my very recent post re: the Janice Weston Case. I can only repeat what the Bedfordshire Police reported, that is, there were no 'unknown' forensics in the car. Same as the A6.
I think the rubber suit theory is serving as a distraction to one large problem in Hanratty's conviction, which is the lack of forensic evidence in the car; a car where a murder and sexual assault were carried out by a man who then drove that car from the scene of the crime.
Valerie Storie's evidence confirms that the murderer was in both the rear and front of the car. A decent vacuum cleaner might have removed many of the hairs and fibres, however an attempt to do this would have been apparent to an experienced SOCO, as we now call them. To remove all such traces would have been fortuitous in the extreme. The same goes for trying to sponge away bodily fluids from the seats. The lack of fingerprints has been put down to Hanratty wearing gloves, something that must have been established at the time when police questioned Valerie Storie. From personal experience, it is not comfortable to smoke whilst wearing gloves and we know that the murderer smoked during the journey. Incidentally, cars of that era usually had at least a couple of ashtrays, so presumably these were cleaned out otherwise saliva could have been matched to blood groups from the butts.

Hi Nick,
I've just had a scoot around the net, and found a Ronald Lofthouse who was in some way associated with road research, but I don 't think the chronology matches up.
Regarding other individuals the police interviewed with regard to the A6, I can't recall ever seeing any names mentioned. Yet I believe both Foot and Woffinden refer to a number of persons being questioned by police between Alphon's Alexandra Court incident and the cartridge-case find at the Vienna. Obviously nothing ever came of these interviews.

Funnily enough plastic boiler suit type clothing was suggested by Woffinden in the Jeremy Bamber case:
"He would already have put on some kind of protective clothing, in all probability a wetsuit. If he showered in it afterwards, there would be no danger of his clothes being spattered with tell-tale bloodstains."
To raise a new subject ...
During Valerie's cross-examination there was the following exchange:
Sherrard : "Do you recognise the name Ronald or Ronnie Lofthouse?"
Storie : "No."
Who was Ronnie Lofthouse? Why did Sherrard ask her about him?
So what happened to the evidence in the car of the gunman who VS said that she and MG were ambushed by in Dorney?
When did this boiler suited gadgee get in at Deadman's Hill?
Was it sometime after VS had passed out or what?
None of the "Redbridge witnesses" mention the driver as wearing a boiler suit.
If Hanratty was the gunman why didn't he dob in this Clockwork Orange type lookalike then?
Perplexing!
These questions and others are answered in this post (I have added the emphasis):

Is it possible that the true story may have involved MG arranging to meet with someone,for purposes that involved skulduggery, at the predetermined location near Clophill? Or alternatively,were the couple on a dummy run ,(the all night runs that Valerie loved so much) for the rally they were planning for the weekend,and possibly followed to that spot in Bedfordshire. If as Det. Super. Mathews suggests,more than one person was involved,the murderer may have been driven there,and left at that lay-by to perform his dastardly deed.After which he drives back eventually to Redbridge,wearing one of the latest plastic boiler suits, complete with rubber buttons,and leaves no, or very little evidence of ever having been in the vehicle,nothing that 1960s forensics would find anyhow.Could MGs brother in law have known of this latest venture at the weekend by the lovers,via his heart throb Janet?
All of the above would satisfy (a) why no one saw anyone that night around the corn field (b) why there was no evidence of a third person in the back seat,(c) why no taxi drivers came forward with info.about a fare.(d) Why the people of Dorney were surprised, as were the press, that police presence was very scarce considering this was supposedly the starting point of this crime(locals were not interviewed for some weeks!)(e)how Alphon came into a large sum of money after the murder,could he have been the the shooter, maybe Hanratty the driver to Deadmans hill. And far too many more questions that this scenario would answer,to fit in one post.
By the By
Did anybody have any comments on the notion that it was an extremely coincidental plan they had come up with, for the following weekends 'particularly arduous 80 mile round trip' through the Chilterns? The Chilterns pass by where I lived in the 90s forming the Dunstable downs, and peter out near Barton-Le- Clay just a couple of miles shy of Clophill. I mean call me suspicious but.....

Hi Derrick. I think you are alluding in part to my post (198) where I put forward some scenarios regarding what really may have happened on that fateful night. I'm sorry if you find it so ridiculous.
Incidentally, don't tell me you still think of Skillett and Trower as witnesses!
By the way, any comments on the notion that it was an extremely coincidental plan they had come up with, for the following weekends 'particularly arduous 80 mile round trip' through the Chilterns? The Chilterns begin a few miles north of Slough,pass by where I lived in the 90s forming the Dunstable downs, and peter out near Barton-Le- Clay just a couple of miles shy of Clophill. incredible I thought.
...The logical explanation is that Hanratty, either on his own or with assistance, gave the rear of the car (he was apparently never in the front) a thoroughly good cleaning somewhere between Deadman's Hill and Redbridge...

Death receptor 6 (DR6), also known as tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 21 (TNFRSF21), is a cell surface receptor of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily which activates the JNK and NF-κB pathways. It is mostly expressed in the thymus, spleen and white blood cells. This receptor has been shown to activate NF-κB and MAPK8/JNK, and induce cell apoptosis. Through its death domain, this receptor interacts with TRADD protein, which is known to serve as an adaptor that mediates signal transduction of TNF-receptors. Knockout studies in mice suggested that this gene plays a role in T helper cell activation, and may be involved in inflammation and immune regulation. DR6 is also thought to be involved in neurodegeneration in the brain that causes Alzheimer's disease as well as signal transduction in stress response and cellular survival.

Law Schools That Are Easy to Get Into
Triston Liu
What Does J.D. Stand for in College?
According to The George Washington University website, of the 9,245 applicants in 2010, only 523 received acceptance for GW Law -- that's only 5.7 percent. Though George Washington is one of the top law schools, its statistics illustrate how difficult law schools -- any of them -- are to get into.
Because all accredited law schools ask for the same requirements, a student needs to excel in all or a combination of the requirements to beat out other contenders. Some law schools, however, have easier requirements and higher acceptance rates. If you struggled with your grades or your LSAT score, you might want to consider the law schools with easier requirements and higher acceptance rates.
With an average acceptance rate of 68.4 percent from 2001 to 2007, Thomas M. Cooley Law School has the highest acceptance rate. The average GPA required for acceptance is 2.51 and the average LSAT score ranges from 144 to 151.
Thomas M. Cooley Law School is in Lansing, Michigan with satellite campuses in Grand Rapids, Auburn Hills and Ann Arbor. It has the largest law school faculty in the United States.
After graduation, 74.8 percent of its students found a job within nine months. The bar pass rate stand at 63.9 percent, which is 14.3 percent below the state's average.
The Golden Gate University School of Law offers certification of specialization in many areas, including business, intellectual property, international and real estate. It also offers flexibility for students, who can choose between full-time and part-time.
Its average acceptance rate from 2001 to 2007 is 62.8 percent, with the lowest GPA at 2.82 and the lowest LSAT score of 150. Graduates' bar passing rate has been especially low, with only 45.7 percent, which is 17.3 percent below the state's average. However, about 73 percent of graduates find jobs within nine months of graduation.
Based on performance, Whittier undergraduates gain eligibility of early admissions to Whittier Law School with a minimum of 3.0 GPA and a percentile score of at least 50 percent of those who took the LSAT.
The average acceptance rate of Whittier Law School is 46.8 percent, with an average GPA of 2.55 and an average LSAT score of 152.
Graduates who obtain employment at graduation come to 63 percent. However, Whittier Law School graduates' bar passing rate is 19.6 percent lower than the state average.
CUNY -- Queens College
Although CUNY School of Law in Queens has a slightly lower acceptance rate -- 26 percent, its accepted average GPA and LSAT score are still pretty low -- 2.66 and 151.
Also, CUNY is currently the only publicly-supported law school in New York City, and encourages students to practice law in the public sector. When you apply to CUNY, if you put more emphasis on your commitment for public service, the school will be more lenient with your GPA.

These spruce cambium strips are collected by first removing the bark from trees, then special knives are used to cut the inner cambium layer which is then cut to size and dried. These strips are harvested locally, in Vermont.
The famous spruce band, which makes cheese such as Mont d'Or so visually striking, is tied around cheese when very young, before the rind has begun to develop. The spruce cambium serves a practical function, to hold the ripening cheese together as it develops a melting, almost liquid texture, it also imparts striking aromas of rubbed pine needles and soft wood resin into the cheese.
As the cheese ripens and this unmistakable aroma begins to develop, a delicate geotrichum bloom starts to form, which breaks down the firm paste of the cheese, giving a creamy texture and yeasty flavor. Fluffy white molds coat the cheese and act with the geotrichum to ripen the cheese and also give the rind an undulating or crumpled appearance.
Collected by hand, a thin, pliable layer between the bark and wood of a spruce tree.
Good for one time use.
These are hand cut, small variations on size may occur.
Soaked the cambium strips in distilled water enhanced with Dickel-our favorite Tennessee whisky. And then wrapped them around our favorite cow's milk bloomy rind recipe. A subtle smoky tart flavor developed particularly on the outside closest to the strip. A great way to experiment with developing different flavors to your cheese recipes and a beautiful presentation.
Purchased for Vacherin d'Abondance, and perhaps will go on to make Mont d'Or. Very surprised by the lovely fragrance of these strips. I thought the spruce or "smokiness" might be overwhelming, but I was intrigued by the recipe. The inital nose I received was almost reminiscent of baked goods -- a most enticing aroma. Good investment to accompany a very interesting and informative recipe. Recommend both.
It would be nice to know before purchase if product is reusable. It would also be good to know how to adhere product to cheese-- string , rubber bands????
I reviewed these spruce cambium strips earlier when I purchased them to make a Mont D'Or style cheese (or, as I called then, a Winnemere Wannabe). That cheese convinced me to try these with another semi-soft: in this case a bit if a stinker based on Jim's Esrom procedure. These binding strips have become a magic ingredient for me!

From Glasgow to Sydney
Nostalgia, War Stories | June 9, 2016
By Madison White
The RMS Orion was, and still is, considered by many as one of the more famous British passenger ships. Even its launch was considered an important moment in maritime history for the British, being one of the first of their ships to be launched wirelessly; the Duke of Gloucester was in Australia, where he pressed a button to launch the ship, while the Orion itself was in the UK.
Throughout its life the Orion was a troop ship in the Second World War and a passenger liner for people migrating between the United Kingdom and Australia.
The Orion courtesy of www.ssmaritime.com
One of those people was John Clark, a young boy at the time, who was a passenger on the Orion, with his family, while they migrated from Scotland to Australia.
Their trip, in the 1950's, was a six-week voyage. The Orion was mainly filled with other British and Scottish people, said John, who were part of the historical 'Ten-Pound Pom' scheme. This scheme involved the government subsidizing the cost for commonwealth citizens to move their families to Australia. According to the Immigration Museum in Melbourne, the aim of the 'Ten-Pound Pom" system was to increase the Australian population after the threat of invasion during World War Two.
The long journey wasn't easy for John and his family; his mother was seasick for the entire journey. John's father did not make the trip with his wife and children, he had already come to Australia six months earlier to acquire a house and begin his job working as a shipwright. John's father moved to a small town along the Queensland coast where he got a job in a shipyard and rented them a house, which he promptly abandoned.
"The first night in the first house he had no furniture, all he had was his toolboxes. He started out sleeping on the floor, but he kept having cockroaches crawl over him, so he took a door off and put in across his two toolboxes and slept on it. He got out of that house pretty quickly," said John.
For Johns father, the decision to move to across the world was easy, he was a born adventurer and initially wanted to move the family to South Africa. For Johns mother however, it was a different story. She left her father and sisters behind and never saw them again after the move to Australia.
Life on board the Orion for John and his mother and sibling was enjoyable; they stopped along the journey at different ports and experienced other cultures.
"When we were at Port Said, I remember that down beside it there were boats full of native people selling things. They had a sort of pulley system and they would put something in a basket and send in up to you and then you'd put the money in the basket," said John. They also stopped at Sri Lanka.
"I remember going in a people mover up this big windy road up a big hill to a lookout where you could see the ocean. This was back when Sri Lanka was still called Ceylon," said John.
The most vivid memory John has of the journey from Scotland to Australia was a particularly rough patch of water they encountered along the way.
"I remember the deck chairs-I remember we went through some really rough weather that made everyone a bit nervous and in the dining room they had a little lip up on the side of the dining table and I remember the dishes moving backwards and forwards while we were trying to eat, the weather was that rough," said John.
They made it safely though, and Johns father made the trip to Sydney on a train to meet them upon their arrival.
While John never made it back to Scotland with his mother and father, he did return many years later with his sibling for holidays, and to take the ashes of their parents back to their home land

Q: Defining predicates in SICStus Prolog / SWI-Prolog REPL I am reading http://cs.union.edu/~striegnk/learn-prolog-now/html/node3.html#subsec.l1.kb1,
but I am having trouble running the following predicate:
SICStus 4.0.1 (x86-win32-nt-4): Tue May 15 21:17:49 WEST 2007
| ?- woman(mia).
! Existence error in user:woman/1
! procedure user:woman/1 does not exist
! goal:  user:woman(mia)
| ?-

If, on the other hand, I write it to a file and run consult the file, it seems to work fine...
Am I only allowed to define predicates in a file having later to consult them? Can't I just do it in the editor itself?

A: You should enter woman(mia). into a file to assert it as a fact. If you write it into the interpreter, it's taken as a query, not a fact.
From the SWI Prolog FAQ:

Terms that you enter at the toplevel are processes as queries, while
  terms that appear in a file that is loaded into Prolog is processed as
  a set of rules and facts. If a text reads as below, this is a rule.
carnivore(X) :- animal(X), eats_meat(X).

Trying to enter this at the toplevel results in the error below. Why?
  Because a rule is a term :-(Head, Body), and because the toplevel
  interprets terms as queries. There is no predicate with the name :-
  and two arguments.
?- carnivore(X) :- animal(X), eats_meat(X). ERROR: Undefined
procedure: (:-)/2 ERROR:   Rules must be loaded from a file ERROR:
See FAQ at http://www.swi-prolog.org/FAQ/ToplevelMode.txt

Isn't this stupid? Well, no. Suppose we have a term
  eats_meat(rataplan). If this appears in a file, it states the fact
  that rataplan eats meat. If it appears at the toplevel, it asks Prolog
  to try proving whether rataplan eats meat.
If a text reads
:- use_module(library(clpfd)).

This is a directive. Directives are similar to queries, but instead of
  asking the toplevel to do something, they ask the compiler to do
  something. Like rules and facts, such terms belong in files.

Instead of writing to a file you can also use assert in the toplevel (as explained later in the FAQ as well).

A: It's a little annoying to make predicates in the repl. You could do
| ?- ['user'].
woman(mia).
^D

ie consult user input, or
| ?- assertz(woman(mia)).

assert it. Both awkward IMO -- there might be a better way, though, I just don't know it. In general it is easier to use a script.
