When sperm counts have halved in Australian men – we have an issue
Sperm counts have halved in Australian men over the last 30 years says Amie Skilton.
A sperm count morphology where 4% of the sperm are considered healthy is now a good result and knowing it's the health of the sperm which drives the health of the pregnancy and the placenta Ms Skilton says male fertility is an increasingly important health issue.
Ms Skilton will present Genetic Polymorphisms and Male Fertility at this year's ACNEM Conference.
Ms Skilton knows fertility and health are inextricably linked.
"The very essence of fertility gives a strong indication of the cellular health of the individual and sperm health in men has the potential to reveal system-wide issues in the person such as nutritional deficiencies, immunological challenges, unhealthy environmental influences and oxidative stress," she said.
Ms Skilton said underpinning all the usual factors affecting male fertility lies an individual's SNPs, or single nucleotide polymorphisms.
"Identifying a prospective father's SNPs offers an opportunity to optimise preconception recommendations and interventions and improve fertility outcomes.
"Sperm are vulnerable to oxidative stress and there are many causes of oxidative stress from our western lifestyle. Dietary factors are significant influences on sperm health and so is the amount of alcohol consumed and the general health of the male," she said.
Male fertility a major issue
Ms Skilton said she sees a lot of patients with infertility problems and many people aren't aware the standard Aussie diet doesn't help the overall health of the average male and add to this the fact men continue to drink alcohol when they're trying to have a baby.
"The hubby might need a bit more encouragement not to drink those beers if he and his partner are trying to have a baby," she said.
"There's a lot of evidence showing us that alcohol affects the sperm up to four months prior to conception and foetal alcohol syndrome can be noted in the foetus."
Ms Skilton said for 120 days of the four months leading up to ovulation and ejaculation – and ultimately conception – men need to really step up and take care of themselves as it will affect their sperm. She adds our current lifestyle doesn't help with "guys wearing their smart phone on their hips."
"The earlier men start looking at their health and their sperm count, the better," she said.
"I like to get couples six months prior to starting to try for a baby so we can start them detoxing. The woman may have been on the pill for 10 or 15 years and we need six months, or four months as a bare minimum, to get her hormones working again as they should be."
Scaremongering about fertility in women leads to IVF
Ms Skilton said scare mongering regarding female fertility is rife.
"You see stories saying women from 35 to 40 years old won't be fertile and they're ovaries are in the toilet. Then everyone gets fairly indoctrinated into IVF as they look at the success rate. But I would love to see IVF clinics doing what we're doing, putting couples on a 4-6 month detox program and allowing their natural fertility and health to get back on track."
"Even if you can force a pregnancy, you're overriding nature's safety valve," she said.
"I think it's medically not right and it can create future problems. We need to see a more integrative approach incorporating the latest developments in the area of fertility and health."
Fertility and health are linked
Ms Skilton pointed out fertility problems and overall health go hand in hand.
"If you have a sperm problem you need to look wider. There are genetic dispositions – for example, if you have the MTHFR SNP – which indicates our ability to detoxify – then you'll need to get some help detoxing and methylating. If you don't do this, you're much more likely to have a child with cognitive or learning difficulties."
Ms Skilton said it's crucial to work on the fertility of both parties male and female.
"Sometimes patients start doing all the right things and everything falls into place and at other times its necessary to look deeper and see what else is happening with the patient's lifestyle."
Amie Skilton will present at the 2019 ACNEM Conference on Saturday 25th at 12.30pm titled: Genetic Polymorphisms in Male Infertility.
This presentation forms part of a CPD points offer with the RACGP. As such, ACNEM is supplying delegates with some pre-reading including: 'Oxidative stress and male infertility—a clinical perspective' which can be accessed here: https://academic.oup.com/humupd/article/14/3/243/683505
Ms Skilton has a Diploma in Botanical Medicine, an Advanced Diploma in Naturopathy and a BHSc in Complementary Medicine. She has been in clinical practice for more than 18 years and has worked concurrently for BioCeuticals.

Why are businesses still getting hacked? How are cyber threats evolving? What can organisations do to strengthen their defences? These are some of the questions that Ed Amoroso, CEO of cyber security research, advisory and consulting firm TAG Cyber, put to a panel of cybersecurity practitioners convened online by HP Wolf Security earlier this month. Here are some edited highlights of the observations, recommendations and prognostications of Deneen DeFiore, Vice President & Chief Information Security Officer at United Airlines; Kurt John, Chief Cybersecurity Officer at Siemens USA; Joanna Burkey, Chief Information Security Officer at HP Inc.; and Dr. Ian Pratt, Global Head of Security for Personal Systems at HP Inc.. The roundtable can be viewed in full at https://tinyurl.com/3yhy86kk
Know thy enemy
Business people like us?
HP Wolf Kurt John
Kurt John: I think we sometimes forget that threat actors have built a thriving enterprise. They innovate and collaborate and divvy up the work and share the spoils. We sometimes use the term threat when what we are really talking about are people, business-minded folks who are in it for money. Some are in it for social causes and social justice, but for the most part it's a money-driven enterprise by people who are innovating and trying to come up with new and creative ways to get what they want.
Ian Pratt: One of the things that's changed over the years is that these criminal organisations are run like businesses and have their own R&D. Crucially, they're now playing a long game. They no longer compromise a system and cash in as quickly as possible, but use it as a foothold, as a beachhead to move around, get to something more valuable and turn it into a much more expensive breach.
Joanna Burkey: As Kurt points out, attackers can be very good business people: they leverage each other's expertise; they offer their specialty as a service, as a skill to augment what someone else is good at. This really parallels what businesses are doing, which is finding greater efficiency via automation and discovering where common platforms or standardised tools can lead to business efficiencies, speed and agility. We see the same things happening in the attacker landscape. Is that concerning? We'd rather they stayed still while we evolve, but if we understand that we're all evolving in similar ways, which in my experience comes down to increased automation and increased commoditisation, it can help us understand how to protect ourselves as well.
Evolving threats
From one-to-one to one-to-many
Joanna Burkey: What I've found interesting in the last two years is what I call the one-to-many attack. Over the years we've got used to a paradigm where there's an attacker and there's a victim and it's generally very one-to-one – attacker targets victim and either succeeds or doesn't; victim might be compromised; chaos ensues. We now see that one-to-many attack. SolarWinds was the first large scale version of this, even though we know it had happened before and it has certainly happened since, with Kaseya for example. Attackers have realised 'We don't need to go one-to-one all the time. We can find a commonality between hundreds or even thousands of victims. Let's compromise that commonality. And then with the same amount of work, we now have thousands of people on the other end of this threat vector'. That has had two very interesting outcomes. For practitioners like us, it's changed the calculus on how we need to think about our enterprise and the vectors we need to pay attention to; and it has forced many businesses, especially those that make products and services, to think 'how could what we do be used in this oneto-many way and how do we avoid that'.
Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose
Ian Pratt
Ian Pratt: It's worth remembering that at a tactics level, not very much has changed. The vast majority of breaches target the user, get the user to click on something that invites the attacker onto their machine – emails, malicious links. At a high level the user is still very much on the frontline for so many of these attacks.
M&A a risk in waiting
Kurt John: There are some interesting threats on the horizon. One, in M&A, is a variant of the supply chain attack. The market is saturated with start-ups that larger companies are snapping up, and there are hints that some of these smaller companies may be compromised by attackers who are hedging their bets and biding their time for an acquisition to give them a foothold into a larger organisation. Another is an evolution of the insider threat, where a threat actor calls an IT admin, say, and says 'How about I shoot you an email, you just copy the file, deploy it and it'll wipe your tracks, so no one knows you did it. We're gonna ask for $6 million in bitcoin and you get 35% of that $6 million. What do you think?' It's a fascinating evolution of the insider threat. These are the kinds of threat we're going to see more of.
Strengthening your defences
Build a team with all the talents
Joanna Burkey: We've said for years that cybersecurity is a team sport, and that's very true. But in the last couple of years, there's been a realisation we have to make the cybersecurity tent bigger in terms of the skills that we bring in and the people we bring in. Those of us in the field, especially those who got into it a long time ago, don't really do ourselves a service in the way we talk about our field. It can be very obtuse, with a special lexicon; at times it almost feels as if you need a special handshake. I don't think that has served us well, and there's a realisation these days that we must make the cybersecurity tent bigger. There is talent out there if we think about it differently. We can bring in non-traditionally educated people – we don't necessarily need college degrees for every role. We can target folks in their mid to late careers who have a lot of skills in things like risk management and communication, for example. There is a rich set of skills out there that absolutely will make cyber more resilient.
Fight complexity
Ian Pratt: Reducing complexity and reducing the attack surface are key because so many problems are caused by legacy. Many of the systems we use and are probably sitting in front of right now have their roots in the 1980s and were built at a time when security was not front and centre of what people were worrying about. There's this enormous legacy of vulnerable technology out there and pretty much an infinite supply of vulnerabilities for attackers to go after and exploit. As an industry we have done a good job over the last few years of clearing up mess faster than we've made new mess, but this is a battle that's going to be waged for at least the next couple of decades until everything is replaced with technology in which security is built in from the beginning as a key design goal.
Minimise the blast surface
Ian Pratt: There's a set of engineering techniques and principles that have stood the test of time and been used to build very secure systems – things like the principle of least privilege, reducing access rights to any given, whether it's a person or a computer or an application running on that computer, and then isolation to ensure you limit what can happen, for example by putting things in a container so that even if something goes wrong inside that container, it's not going to spread. You build to cope with failure, because there will inevitably be failure; it's how you cope with it, how you remain resilient that matters. We have to look at how the new systems we build take advantage of these principles and how we retrofit them to existing systems.
A change of approach
Moving from data protection to cyber resiliency
HP Wolf DeenenDifiore-
Deneen DeFiore: Historically, people thought about cybersecurity in terms of data protection – let's protect the PCI data or let's protect the PII data – and we had strategies to do that. Now, the thinking is more around cyber resiliency, because something that can cause operational disruption has a cascading effect across the ecosystem, especially in aviation, where an issue with an operational system can mean not being able to get planes off the ground. I think there's been a shift in mindset from just thinking about cybersecurity from a data protection standpoint to having a cyber resiliency strategy, because it does take everybody in the operation to understand the impact of and reduce the blast surface of an attack. And it's not only within your own organisation, because of how connected we are to partners and third parties. In United's case, our assets are mobile and we operate at airports across the world, and each one is different. All that variation in the ecosystem really makes it imperative to understand impacts and to have a resilient cybersecurity approach.
Cyber resilience is good corporate governance
Joanna Burkey: It's interesting that we aren't sitting here talking about IT infrastructure, but about broader business. We're talking about understanding how certain threats can affect each of our businesses specifically, and that, I think, is a cause for optimism, because we're maturing and evolving the conversation. The way I interpret this is it all comes down to good corporate governance in a way that is specific to your enterprise. At HP, we are setting very aspirational goals for ESG, and when you think about risk topics, like financial risk, privacy risks, cyber risk, making the right decisions for your enterprise is all about governance. That's an interesting lens to look at threats and resilience through. Resilience is going to mean one thing to Deneen at United and a different thing to me at HP. And that's a plus – a feature not a bug. When we start to make those connections, we can really start to understand how all of this is key to running your enterprise the right way.
Focus on the vector, not every threat
Ian Pratt: The key thing is to take the conversation up a level. If you're trying to focus on individual techniques and procedures that people are exploiting, you're always going to be behind the curve. There are so many vulnerabilities out there ready to be found and exploited that if you're operating at that level, it's going to be a case of trying to detect what's happening and then catching up. You really need to look at approaches that deal with classes of issue, so you can deal with a whole vector of attack that might have 100 separate issues.
Deneen DeFiore: Keep in mind the business outcome you're trying to achieve, rather than talking about every threat and trying to defend your organisation against everything that could happen.
Kurt John: Build strong, resilient, dynamic, diverse teams – not just cognitively diverse, but diverse across the board. That's the number one way to drive creativity.
Joanna Burkey: Really think about how cyber strategy in your business emphasises and promotes good corporate governance. I really believe that's the right way to make an enterprise-specific strategy. Make the G in ESG really mean something.
Ian Pratt: So many of these attacks end up leveraging privileged users, the sysadmins, even the security people. Often, they're a link in the chain of how an attacker turns a simple breach of, say, an endpoint into an expensive enterprise compromise. Do all you can to make lateral movement and escalation hard.

At long, damn last, the tricksome section of Harbinger that was holding up everything else has finally been completed!
All in all, I've written about 2000 words of it in the last two days.
The Tarot reading has turned out as I'd hoped, which is great, although I resolved in a slightly different way than I planned.
On the card, a tormented man was strung up by the leg, and dangling upside down. His face was strained, but despite the misery of his circumstances, he maintained an inner serenity. An acceptance of his fate.
Shadowed Realms – the slushpile was clear, but we've had half a dozen new subs sneak in the the last couple of days. We are now reading through them and will make some lightning fast decisions soon.

Progressive Pedagogy: Heritage Business School
There is a common misconception in today's Corporate world - to prosper in the Business world, you have to lie, cheat, steal and most of the time, step on many people on the way to success. Indeed, success comes in a totally different path; the more generous you are with your time, energy and expertise the easier it will be to accomplish your personal goals. Proving this to the world is Kalyan Bharti Trust (KBT), a philanthropic Trust that has been established by a group of twenty-two like-minded industrialists of Kolkata to promote and provide education in the country and in the State of West Bengal, in particular. The six Educational Institutions set up by the Trust are The Heritage School (THS), Heritage Institute of Technology (HIT-K), The Heritage Academy (THA), Heritage Business School (HBS), Heritage Law College (HLC) and The Heritage College (THC). In the same sprawling campus these Institutes constitute an oasis of learning and have, over the years, carved a niche for themselves among academicians, Faculty, students and society, in general.
Among the premier Educational Institutions run by KBT, Heritage Business School (HBS) is a harmonious integration of valued traditions with modern outlook. Since its inception in 2003, HBS has been offering the most effective and extensive MBA education in Eastern India with a view to blend traditional values and business education. Their guiding principle is to add value to the University Curriculum for achieving the Program Education Objectives and Program Objectives.
HBS, formerly known as Management Education Centre, follows a case-study based pedagogy for all courses other than Quantitative Methods. At HBS, inclusion of real life situations is mapped onto theoretical concepts complimenting the course content prescribed by the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology. "The curriculum of our institute includes a number of value additions in the form of non-credit courses. They are to improve substantially the communication skills of students both verbally and in written throughout their course duration," states Prof. Malay Kumar Banerjee, Dean, Heritage Business School.
HBS has incorporated a number of specialized and unique programs such as Induction Programs where new students are giving structured inputs on basic courses to bring in different disciplines and backgrounds to a common knowledge platform; Personalized classes in Communication including personality development and soft skills, Aptitude and Psychometric tests, logical reasoning, mathematical aptitude conducted throughout the sessions on a regular basis. Different types of Industry Internships, Summer and Winter Internship Projects, Live Projects, On-the-Job Projects are the main features of HBS teaching methodology.
Boosting the confidence of learners through exposure and regular interaction with Industry Executives, Heritage conducts bi-weekly Industry-Institute-Interaction programs where Senior Executives interact with students on specific topics. In addition to that, the institute encourages participation in various workshops and seminars organized by Chambers of Commerce, CII, ICC, BNCCI. HBS takes pride in the fact that their students are often seen participating in Business Plan Contests, Management Book Reading and Current Affairs Analysis, Business Quiz Contests and Business Debates organized by HBS and other institutions across the country.
Prof. Banerjee adds, "Our Faculty members have extensive industry experience both in India and abroad. During lectures they refer to their own experience as well. This bridges the gap between theory and practice, which has been appreciated by the industry experts and recruiters during interactions between the Industry and the Institute." The students of Heritage are recruited by several reputed employers including large organizations and MNCs and are extremely satisfied with the infrastructural facilities, methods of imparting education, quality of faculty and knowledge ambience of the campus. "Throughout the year we maintain a good rapport with the existing and new organizations inviting them for Industry-Institute-Interface programs, MDP / EDP and workshops in order to maintain contacts in addition making visits to their offices to meet decision makers," says Prof. Banerjee.
The Research Centre has been set up with mentorship from internationally reputed experts from Calcutta University, Jadavpur University and University of New South Wales. Students are encouraged to come up with research ideas. In addition, the School approaches different Agencies like Federation of Small & Medium Enterprises, Consultants and other Industries to entrust the School with research topics on problem areas identified by them. Small teams of students, guided by the Faculty, analyze these types and come up with recommendations for implementation, thus leading to innovative ideas. "Innovation cannot be taught but the process of Innovation, innovative ideas and their initialization are motivated through proper mentorship, motivation and finally forwarded to venture capitalists for funding," pinpoints Prof. Banerjee. HBS is improving the benchmarks in terms of placement in foreign organizations, tie-ups with leading educational institutes in India and abroad, and establishing satellite based learning systems and collaborative programs with leading management gurus and top Ivy League B-Schools in the world.
Prof. Malay Kumar Banerjee, Dean
Prof. Banerjee, a National Merit Scholar of Government of India completed his B.E. (Hons) from BITS Pilani and MBA from XLRI Jamshedpur. He is a Fellow Member of several Professional Bodies and has worked in India and in several other countries in the areas of Construction and Infrastructure Projects. He has held responsible positions including Director, Managing Director, CEO, COO etc. He has been teaching in BBA and MBA Programs in India and abroad for the last 13 years.

Certified nursing assistants provide basic care to patients who are unable to care for themselves. They perform a range of duties under the supervision of a licensed nurse. Their duties range from measuring and recording vital signs to emptying bedpans. The physically and emotionally demanding job is also quite rewarding. CNAs spend a lot of time with patients, forming close relationships with those who need care over the long-term. Many nursing assistants derive a sense of satisfaction from making patients feel cared for and loved.
Working as a CNA may also be professionally rewarding. CNAs work closely with nurses and other health care professionals who can provide valuable insight into the educational preparation for these career pathways if they decide to advance their careers. More than that, nursing assistant training and certification may be essential for enrolling in licensed practical nursing and registered nursing programs. In cases where CNA certification is not required, it will provide an advantage to candidates applying to programs with competitive admissions.
CNA classes are short-term and affordable, providing a perfect opportunity to explore the health care sector without sacrificing too much time and money.
The Nursing Assistant Certificate program at Columbia Basic College prepares adults for certification as a nurse assistant in Washington. The curriculum adheres to the training guidelines of the Nursing Home Reform Act (OBRA 1987). Graduates will receive a Certificate of Completion and will be eligible to take the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program (NNAAP) examination to demonstrate their ability to perform the role and responsibility of an entry-level Nursing Assistant. Successful completion of the program requires uninterrupted attendance of both the lecture and clinical components of the program. Students will meet three times weekly for lecture and hands-on labs for the first four weeks to complete the required hours. Instruction will cover infection control, promoting resident independence, personal care skills, safety and emergency procedures, communication and interpersonal skills, basic restorative care, basic nursing skills, mental health and social services, resident rights, cultural awareness, and dementia. Students will also cover the required 7 hours of HIV/AIDS training, bloodborne pathogens, first aid and CPR, and care of the cognitively impaired. Upon completion of the requirements, the instructor will schedule the clinical rotations at healthcare facilities in the community. The clinical component requires the completion of 50 hours of supervised patient care including a minimum of 36 shift hours at facilities in the Tri-City. Clinical hours vary but shifts can begin as early as 6:00 am. Students must have reliable transportation to get to and from the clinical site. The course admits new students in the fall, winter, and spring quarters.

Q: Foursquare's Layout Anyone knows how is structured Foursquare App's layout?
Look this: Foursquare's App Screenshot
(the view on the right)
I'm trying to create a similar layout. There is a navigation bar and after? TableView header?
I'm not understanding what is the bar with user's avatar and the others stuff.
Thank you very much.

A: Looks fairly standard to me.
A UIView, with a UIImageView and 3 UILabels.
Then two UIButtons, and finally..
A UITableView nested in the bottom..
As the other user said, if the top section scrolls when you move the table, the Image, Labels and Buttons are sat inside the TableView Header.
            UITableView *table = [[UITableView alloc] init];

            table.tableHeaderView = UIView including image, labels and buttons

This week I had 2 days where I had big costs, particularly Thursday. I'd really like to blame someone, but there is no one. Who has control over my trading? I do. The market can go up, down, or sideways. Though I have no influence or control on the market, I do have control over my trades (to a degree). If something catastrophic happens, and it could, barring those things.
But, for most traders or investors, we have a lot more control than we'd like to believe. You MUST have a plan to take profits, but also realize your position can turn against you and you MUST plan for that.
We don't want to be pessimistic or negative about attracting bad things to happen, but the fact is we live in a sinful world and bad things DO happen to both good and bad people. Why do you think we have insurance -- life, health, car, home, appliances, electronics, blah, blah. If a person is properly insured, insurance is a good portion of the budget. Why do we have insurance? For those things that happen that are not good. You basically want to be prepared.
Well, a trader/investor must think similarly. Yes, we all want to believe that we are attracting the best to us. However, it would be unrealistic to think you will not have costs in trading. Going back to 2005, where I was trading the QQQQs (options).
This was a tough lesson to learn when my account was much bigger. I had somewhere from 5-9 weeks of ALL profitable trades. I can't quite rememeber how many weeks in a row, but it was a lot. I was not daytrading, but holding overnight, basically doing overnight swing trades. It was probably 1-3 positions a day nearly daily. This was Darlene's $1 story.
At the time, I didn't have a good respect or humbleness towards the market. One of the things is if we do not learn the lesson, life has a way of repeating the lesson until we learn it by making adjustments and changes in our lives to show we've truly learned.
What is showing up in your life? Do you find yourself repeating mistakes over and over. Well, gosh darn it. Figure out what you're doing wrong and fix it, and if you cannot, seek professional help.
By the end of of those profitable weeks, I had gotten up to trading positions of 300 contracts. Mind you, I was buying options @ $1-1.50 each, so this position was over $30K. To take a position like this, I really should've had an account in the realm of over $500K, which I did not. This was a big portion of my account. It's embarrassing to say this, but it went against me and I did not get out and the options expired worthless. How devestating.
So, one of the things is that even if you have a small trading account and you can't do 2%, 5% of your trading account to minimize exposure in any one trade, do your best to keep it as small as possible. For example, if you have a $2000 account, and you're trading options, do your best to not exceed $200 for a position size. It's better to take a $100 position. You could do 1 contract of the Qs around $1, you'll make some money if you're getting in at the right time. The $100 is 5% of your account.
In the case of futures, it depends on your broker. For trading the ES, I've heard margins of $500-$6500 for 1 contract. It's probably a little less for trading the NQ (Nasdaq) or YM (Dow) with some brokers. So, you figure out what size account you need to do 5% or 10%. Dr. Alexander Elder and many other traders say to use 2%. If you can do this, even better.
Anyway, futures have particularly higher risk as you can stand to lose more than your investment, at times. Just take note.
To have 300 contracts of the Qs expire worthless was quite a shock. I think that was the only time I totally let that happen. I think my account was probably in the $100K range at the time. That's way too big of a position for that size account.
There is no get rich quick scheme, because the Bible states a fool and his money are soon departed. Are you doing foolish things?
There is a reason why professional traders who have been doing this for a long time tell us the things they do. It's not to waste their breath. It's live to trade another day, to truly grow your account, to minimize your risk, while steadily making gains in your accounts. It's taken me a long time to learn this lesson.
The past couple days, I really wanted to avoid meticulously going over my trades, especially since yesterday I nearly wiped out all my profits for July.
1. Trade every day Mon-Fri, unless there is a holiday or partial trading day.
2. Reconcile my trading platform, Excel spreadsheets, and broker statements every day.
3. Review what I did correct and incorrect in trading, as well as areas to improve on.
I already do stops and do my trading strategy, but the truth here is, I could MORE meticulously follow my trading strategy & do better.
The past 2 days, I really wanted to avoid reconciling things. But, I resisted the urge and did so, facing the cold hard truth. When you face the truth, make appropriate changes, learn, there is freedom and progress in the right direction.

ANIELEWICZ, MORDECAI (1919-1943).
Leader of Warsaw ghetto uprising. In 1943, at the height of Nazi terror, the Warsaw ghetto was populated by 40,000 Jews; 460,000 had been systematically exterminated. Unless drastic action was taken, the survivors would be led like sheep to slaughter. The Jewish underground resolved at that moment to rise in open rebellion against their murderers.
A 24-year-old member of the Labor Zionist movement, Anielewicz chose to stay in Poland after Nazi occupation. Traveling from ghetto to ghetto in fear of his life, he spent the first four years of the occupation training young men in self-defense units.
Under Anielewicz's able and inspiring command, the ghetto factions were welded into a single fighting force. During the Passover holiday of 1943, the ghetto fighters lashed out against their oppressors. For two weeks the poorly armed and heavily outnumbered "army" battled against the air and tank divisions that had been called in to quell the uprising. At the end of two weeks the ghetto stood no longer. Its defenders lay dead in the rubble. Among them was Anielewicz, and by his side as always was Mira, his wife.
The heroism of these defenders is commemorated in a massive monument erected at Yad Mordecai, a kibbutz in Israel named after Mordecai Anielewicz.

Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, also known as Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc. or Doofenshmirtz Corporation, and later known as Professor Time's Building, is a company owned by the evil scientist Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz. Most of the daily operations of the company are run by Doofenshmirtz himself. The main purpose of the company is to assist Dr. Doofenshmirtz in his schemes to conquer the Tri-State Area. It is kind of shaped like Ferb's head, as Phineas commented to Ferb as they prepared to crash into it. (Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension)
A typical day at Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated begins with Dr. Doofenshmirtz coming up with a plan to take over the Tri-State Area. He then builds an evil invention, also known as an "Inator". Perry the Platypus, Doofenshmirtz's nemesis, arrives to put a stop to the scheme. Doofenshmirtz captures Perry in a trap and explains his evil plan. After Dr. Doofenshmirtz is finished explaining, Perry the Platypus escapes from the trap and defeats Doofenshmirtz. job done, Perry the Platypus leaves Doofenshmirtz to shout "Curse you, Perry the Platypus!"

Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated uses many buildings in Dr. Doofenshmirtz's evil schemes to take over the Tri-State Area.
Located in the center of Danville, this large building ("Candace's Big Day") is the main and most often seen building of Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated. It functions as both the main lab of Doofenshmirtz's plans and his home, which appears to also have a room for his daughter Vanessa for when she stays with him. Doofenshmirtz bought this building while looking for a place "in his budget" ("That Sinking Feeling"). The building also contains apartment rooms. It quite often gets smashed in places around it as part of Doof and Perry's fights.
The building is shaped approximately like Ferb or a pipe wrench. The number of floors and interior of the building varies from time to time, much as Danville itself does. A metal brace provides support for the floors above a patio area near the top of the building. The roof is retractable and also has a lab ("Tree to Get Ready").
There is a window on the side, which has a "panoramic" view of the painful happenings of the Tri-State Area, including a chiropractor's office and a tax building. Another thing that can be seen is the statue of Rutherford B. Hayes, the President with the "best facial hair", that stands in the town square. ("Crack That Whip") The door is made of solid oak.("Lights, Candace, Action!")
The "evil jingle" set up for this building is "Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!" Sometimes the jingle is extended to include things such as "...after hours" ("Traffic Cam Caper" and "That Sinking Feeling") or "is carpeted" ("The Chronicles of Meap"). The jingle is sung by Bowling for Soup, and is also Doofenshmirtz's ringtone. ("Rollercoaster")
In a later event of the Milo Murphy's Law episode, "The Phineas and Ferb Effect", the building was renamed "Professor Time's Building" as Doofenshmirtz was referred to by Milo Murphy as "Professor Time"; the brand's mascot looks similar to Doofenshmirtz. At this time, the evil jingle is "Professor Time's Building (Recently Renamed for Branding Purposes!)". At the end of the episode, Murphy's Law occurs once more when a falling sign sends a Lardee Boy statue flying toward and crashing into Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc., causing the building to collapse and leaving Doofenshmirtz homeless.
Doofenshmirtz's Basement
Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc. also has a basement with an evil jingle of its own. "Basement" was said in a deep voice.
Doofenshmirtz Abandoned Self Storage
Located at the edge of town, this abandoned self-storage building has been used several times by Dr. Doofenshmirtz. One example is when he used it to throw a 16th birthday party for Vanessa.
Its "evil jingle" is "Doofenshmirtz Abandoned Self Storage!" ("Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together").
Doofenshmirtz Abandoned Vacuum Cleaner Factory
Located somewhere in mid-Danville, the old vacuum cleaner factory closed down not too long ago. It was used only once, to conceal the invention "Make Up Your Mind-inator", a device Doofenshmirtz said would "Destroy anyone who can't make up their mind". The roof once held a very large, working vacuum cleaner that towered on the top of the building. It was destroyed when Perry the Platypus turned it on, making it roll forward and suck up Phineas and Ferb's submarine with it.
Its "evil jingle" is "Doofenshmirtz Abandoned Vacuum Cleaner Factory!" Strangely, the first floor is occupied by Jeremy's uncle's Sandwich Shop ("Journey to the Center of Candace").
Doofenshmirtz Hideout-shaped Island/Doofenshmirtz Mentor's Hideout
When Dr. Doofenshmirtz "disappeared," this is the island satellite images found at the exact coordinates he disappeared. It originally belonged to Doofenshmirtz's mentor, Professor Destructicon, who was captured. Before he was taken to jail, the professor asked Doofenshmirtz to fulfill his dream for him and "set fire to the sun." Doofenshmirtz replied, "Dude, you really gotta let that one go. It's a ball of fire, it makes no sense." So Professor Destructicon simply instructed him to destroy the Island Hideout. Agent P prevented the island from being destroyed when he took the device Doofenshmirtz was trying to use to destroy the lair and put it on his ship. The island has so far been abandoned again.
Its "evil jingles" are "Doofenshmirtz Hideout-Shaped Island!" and "Doofenshmirtz Mentor's Hideout!" ("One Good Scare Ought to Do It!")
Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated Annex Building-K
This abandoned annex building was used once by Doofenshmirtz Inc. to house all of the bricks Dr. Doofenshmirtz had stolen from the Tri-State Area so he could build "The Great Wall of the Tri-State Area". This building is very similar to the Self Storage Building. Its "evil jingle" is Doofenshmirtz Evil Annex!" ("Toy to the World").
Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated (Robot Building)
A secondary office set up by Doofenshmirtz Inc. It possesses the ability to convert into robotic form to rampage through the streets of Danville. Unlike other buildings, the evil jingle remained the typical "Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!" ("Flop Starz").
Doofenshmirtz House in the Suburbs
Located on Maple Drive, in Danville, 3 doors down from the Flynn-Fletcher house, this House in the Suburbs was bought by the Doofenshmirtz's Corporation to be Dr. Doofenshmirtz's house. It has a hammock and a swimming pool in the backyard. Next door is a bad neighbor named "Phil" whose leaves are always falling on the yard, angering Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Doofenshmirtz paid for the house with his divorce money. Since Doofenshmirtz decided "life in the suburbs" wasn't for him, it has since been unoccupied. Its "evil jingle" is "Doofenshmirtz House in the Suburbs!" ("Put That Putter Away").
Doofenshmirtz Abandoned Theater
Like a movie theater, the Doofenshmirtz Abandoned Theater was used by Dr. Doofenshmirtz to show Perry the Platypus how he plans to destroy him. Its "evil jingle" is "Doofenshmirtz Abandoned Theater!" ("Greece Lightning").
Jingleless Abandoned Cake Factory
This building was used by Doofenshmirtz to house his Slaveinator. It may be close to the ocean, for Agent P used his whale-whistle to summon a sperm whale into the wall, and it only took a few seconds. It had no "evil jingle" ("Raging Bully").
Jingleless Mountain Top Castle Laboratory
This castle was used by Doofenshmirtz to house his "Shrinkspheria". It is located in the northern top of the world, somewhere miles off the coast of Canada. It has no "evil jingle" ("Mom's Birthday").
Jingleless Woodland House/Doofenshmirtz Vacation Condo
Monogram calls this Doofenshmirtz's evil woodland retreat. The house is used by Dr. Doofenshmirtz for his date with a woman he met online. It's located in the same woods as Phineas and Ferb's grandparents live. It had no "evil jingle", but the doorbell rings to the jingle's tune ("Get That Bigfoot Outta My Face!"). It is later seen again and called a vacation condo in the "evil jingle". ("Last Train to Bustville")
Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated's Lake Winimahatikihaha Water Fortress
A water fortress on this oddly-named lake in Danville, it was used by Dr. Doofenshmirtz when he creates an army of termites to eat all the wood in the Tri-State Area. It is shaped like a dome, set up inside like a normal Doofenshmirtz Inc. building, and its "evil jingle" is the same as the main building ("The Magnificent Few"). Some flaws in the building include a ramp leading right into the main control room and a lava chamber (called a "death chamber" by Vanessa) with a ceiling escape hatch and a self-destruct button.
Doofenshmirtz Aluminum Siding
While this was not an actual company, Heinz Doofenshmirtz mentioned it to Perry the Platypus when he was going to make termites eat the wood off all the buildings in the Tri-State Area. Doofenshmirtz then said he would make aluminum in this company to take the place of wood. Its short-lived "evil jingle" is "Doofenshmirtz Aluminum Siding!" ("The Magnificent Few").
Doofenshmirtz Wicked Witch Warlock Castle
As this castle only exists in Candace's dream, it is not actually real, but was the head of operations for the Doofenshmirtz in the dream. Its evil jingle is "Doofenshmirtz Wicked Witch Castle!" ("Wizard of Odd").
Doofenshmirtz Ex-Wife's House in the Hills Somewhere
Doofenshmirtz's wife Charlene and Doofenshmirtz's daughter Vanessa live there. Doofenshmirtz sometimes picks up Vanessa at the house. Its evil jingle is "Doofenshmirtz Ex-Wife's House in the Hills Somewhere!" ("Finding Mary McGuffin")
Doofenshmirtz Evil Igloo on a Mountaintop, Eh?
Doofenshmirtz used this lair one time during the winter to transform himself into the Abominable Snowman with the Abominable-Inator. Its evil jingle is "Doofenshmirtz Evil Igloo on a Mountaintop, eh?" ("For Your Ice Only")
Doofengung's Cave
The Quaternary Period version of the doctor's headquarters. Its evil jingle is "Bunkalunk Bunkalunk Bunkalunka!" ("Tri-Stone Area")
Doofus Khan's Multi-Level Yurt
The ancient Chinese version of the doctor's headquarters. The Yurt has a penthouse dungeon, staircase to which is booby-trapped. Its evil jingle is "Doofus Khan's Multi-Level Yurt!" ("Doof Dynasty")
Malifishmirtz Evil Tradesman Association
This building is in ancient England looking similar to Doofenshmirtz's headquarter building. Malifishmirtz is likely the ancestor of Doofenshmirtz. The purpose of the corporation is to assist Malifishmirtz in conquering the Tri-Kingdom Area with use of his army of canned meat men. The powers of the group is sorcery and the enemy of the group is Parable the Dragonpuss who often tries to foil Malifishmirtz. Its evil jingle is "Malifishmirtz Evil Incorporated, But Not Really a Corporation Because Corporations Haven't Been Invented Yet, So it's More Like a Guild or a Tradesman Association!" ("Excaliferb")
Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated has many different vehicles to aid Dr. Doofenshmirtz in his schemes.
Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated's Blimp/Doofenshmirtz Evil Dirigible
Like a floating Main Building, the Doofenshmirtz Blimp is used several times by Dr. Doofenshmirtz for many of his inventions. It is one of Doofenshmirtz's most used vehicles. Its "evil jingle" is the same as the main building, or "Doofenshmirtz Evil Dirigible!" ("The Fast and the Phineas").
Jingleless Balloon Pad
This was used by Doofenshmirtz to use his "Ugly-inator". After Perry got a hold of the "Ugly-inator", he changed Doofenshmirtz's balloon from "Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc." to "I Love Goodness" and it's flat-screen TV and recliner turned into a small TV and a plastic chair. It had no "evil jingle" ("The Best Lazy Day Ever").
Doofenshmirtz Flatbed Micro-bus
This is the vehicle that Doofenshmirtz uses to transport his "Be Gone-inator". Its "evil jingle" is "Doofenshmirtz flatbed micro-bus!" ("Just Passing Through"). It is very similar to VW Microbus in the body style.
Doofenshmirtz Rocket Powered Jet Skiff
This is the vehicle Doofenshmirtz used to transport his Anti Romance Rocket until it fell off. Its "evil jingle" is "Doofenshmirtz Rocket Powered Jet Skiff!" ("What Do It Do?").
Jingleless Airplane/Doofenshmirtz in a Jet Airplane
This is the vehicle Doofenshmirtz used, when he planned to drop Eulg over the Tri-State Area adult diaper factory. It was also seen in ("Phineas and Ferb Summer Belongs to You! when Doofenshmirtz was on his father-daughter vacation with Vanessa. It had no "evil jingle" in ("I Was a Middle Aged Robot"), but in "Summer Belongs to You," the "evil jingle" was "Doofenshmirtz in a Jet Airplane!"
Jingleless Hot Air Balloon
This is the vehicle Doofenshmirtz used to transport his Ball gown-inator. It had no "evil jingle" ("Gaming the System").
Jingleless Hover Pad
This is the vehicle Doofenshmirtz used when he plotted to insult the whales. It was also seen when he flew over the world shrinking monuments for his train set. It had no "evil jingle" (the line was simply "Doofenshmirtz holding a bucket!") ("Perry Lays an Egg")
Doofania
A country founded by Doofenshmirtz to be better than his brother, Roger. The country was built on an inner tube in the bay of Danville. It didn't have an evil jingle, but did have a national anthem. The country was accidentally destroyed when a fishеrman was distracted by a rainbow (that was created by Isabella Garcia-Shapiro) and hit the tube with his fishing hook. ("Hail Doofania!").
Doofenshmirtz's Quality Bratwurst
The bratwurst cart that Heinz owned as a teenager. He was treated terribly there, so later on he built The Hot Dog Vendor Revenge-Inator. Its "jingle" is "Doofenshmirtz's Quality Bratwurst!" although it is not said seriously ("Backyard Aquarium").
Known Employees
Heinz Doofenshmirtz (Owner/manager)
Vanessa Doofenshmirtz (Errand runner)
Norm (Giant robot assistant)
Nancy (Maid) (fired)
Chorus girls
The logo on the side of the Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated building uses the "Playbill" font.
The building is over 55.8 feet tall. ("Attack of the 50 Foot Sister")
His property is only a block from the ocean.
Even though Doofenshmirtz owns the Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated building, he has been seen to let there be vacancy. ("At the Car Wash")
Doofenshmirtz currently lives on the 45th floor. However, at times he was seen on the 38th ("Fireside Girl Jamboree") and the 40th ("Candace's Big Day").
Annabelle Johnson was interested in buying Dr. Doofenshmirtz's building. She liked the colors purple and green in the building, the 70s style design, and especially the gargoyles ("Run, Candace, Run").
Previous "evil jingles" have included "Doofenshmirtz holding a bucket" ("Perry Lays an Egg"), "Doofenshmirtz out in the forest" ("Interview With a Platypus"), "Doofenshmirtz carbon footprint" ("Suddenly Suzy") and "Doofenshmirtz walks to the diner" ("Ain't No Kiddie Ride").
Goof: Sometimes, the main building's sign has one line of text, while other times, it has two.
If the name is put into an acronym, it spells DEI. Rearranged, it spells DIE.
The building is at least 45 stories high. ("Candace's Big Day")
Other people live in the building as well. ("At the Car Wash")
In "Rollercoaster: The Musical!" is it shown that the "Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated" jingle was never finished.

A Restored Vermeer Painting Reveals a Portrait of a Cupid Hidden for Over 350 Years
in Art | September 8th, 2021 1 Comment
Botched art restorations make good headlines, but rarely are we asked to consider if a posthumous change to a great master's work represents an improvement. And yet, when images of a restored Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window by Jan Vermeer circulated recently, the world had the chance to compare the restored original painting, at the left, with an unknown painter's revision, long thought to be Vermeer's work. (Click here to view the paintings side by side in a larger format.) Several people announced that they preferred the doctored painting on the right, first attributed to Vermeer in 1880 (and previously attributed to Dutch masters Rembrandt and Hals).
As conservators found at the conclusion of a restoration project begun in 2017, it is the painting on the left that Vermeer intended as his final statement on the subject of a girl reading a letter at an open window. That painting puts the subject in a very different light. The naked Cupid behind the young woman — in place of an ambiguously dour patch of beige — revises over a century of art historical interpretation. "With the recovery of Cupid in the background, the actual intention of the Delft painter becomes recognizable," says Stephan Koja, director of the Old Masters Picture Gallery.
Art historians and conservators had long known the other painting was underneath, having discovered it via X-ray in 1979. But they assumed it was Vermeer himself who made the change. "As it was not uncommon for artists to paint over their work," My Modern Met writes, "scholars initially accepted that Vermeer had simply changed his mind and decided to keep the wall bare." Instead, thanks to the 2017 restoration project, "researchers were able to conclude that the overpainting was completed over several decades after the canvas was finished."
"Vermeer often incorporated empty backgrounds in his genre paintings," a feature that has become something of a hallmark thanks to the fame of paintings like The Milkmaid. This is one reason the Cupid went undercover for so long, despite an unbalanced composition without it. But Vermeer also incorporated backgrounds filled with art, including the same Cupid painting, which appears in his lesser known A Young Woman Standing at a Virginal and may have been a painting he himself owned. "There has been much speculation," the National Gallery notes, that this painting (and another, similarly titled work) represent "fidelity" and "a venal, mercenary approach to love." What approach might be suggested by the newly restored Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window?

Scott Preston says:
Dutch painters of that period often used and reused symbolism to express what is going on in the minds of rhe people in the picture. The Cupid is obvious, she was reading a love letter. Another painting from that period showed a man being served a drink in a tavern by a buxom waitress and two dogs were copulating in the background.

144. That to "call by name" signifies to know the quality, is because the ancients, by the "name" understood the essence of a thing, and by "seeing and calling by name" they understood to know the quality. The reason was that they gave names to their sons and daughters according to the things which were signified, for every name had something peculiar in it, from which, and by which, they might know the origin and the nature of their children, as will be seen in a future part of this work, when, of the Lord's Divine mercy, we come to treat of the twelve sons of Jacob. As therefore the names implied the source and quality of the things named, nothing else was understood by "calling by name." This was the customary mode of speaking among them, but one who does not understand this may wonder that such things should be signified.


There is a trailer for the New Babylon 5 direct to DVD movie online right now. It looks good, though it's a shame that all of the sets are now CGI (save for a corridor door). Still, to remake all the sets would have meant amplifying the cost to an extent that it wouldn't have got made - and that's a price worth paying.
Andreas Katsulas will be missed though.


San Francisco was buzzing last night. If Lorde's concert at the Outside Lands Festival wasn't enough to have people glued to social media, Snapchat upped the stakes by launching "Crowd Surf". The new feature uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to note when a large group of people are taping the same musical performance. It then patches the stories together so that the song stays smooth, but the performance angle changes and the video stays consistent for more than the usual 10 seconds.
Viewers can now teleport from the cheap seats to front and center with the tap of a finger. The app does require a lot of people to be taping via Snapchat at the same time for it to work (not that seems like a hard feat), however it can't be denied that from concerts, to parades, to political rallies, this update is genius. The only questions left are how and when will Instagram respond? The social tycoons tug-of-war has been especially vicious this quarter with Snapchat hitting rough waters and Instagram's following soaring higher than ever before, but it's obvious that Snapchat is far from lying down for the competition.
"Crowd Surf" is set to be available for more public events soon.

Gold medal favorite Erin Jackson misses Olympic qualification after stumble in Trials
Jack Baer
7 January 2022, 8:23 pm ·4 min read
Erin Jackson would have likely been a gold medal favorite in Beijing, but as things currently stand, she's out of the 2022 Olympics.
Jackson, the top-ranked speed skater in the world in the women's 500-meter event, missed out on Olympic qualification Friday after a stumble — not a fall, a stumble — caused her to fall behind two competitors at the U.S. Olympic Trials.
In an event with only two slots available to qualify for Beijing, Jackson finished third with a time of 38.249 seconds. Brittany Bowe, who already won the 1,000-meter event at the Trials, registered the top time with 37.811 seconds, while Kimi Goetz was just behind her at 37.859 seconds.
Jackson may not have fallen, but the stumble cost her a precious moment in an event that comes down to fractions of seconds.
After the race, Jackson was shown the replay of her stumble and said she lost her footing by hitting "a bad edge" in an otherwise routine outing.
"It's really disappointing, of course, but I'm not giving up hope yet."@ErinJackson480 reacts to the result of her 500m race at #SpeedskatingTrials22. @USSpeedskating pic.twitter.com/Qp1u7mo97r
— NBC Olympics (@NBCOlympics) January 8, 2022
The United States has not won an Olympic medal in the 500-meter event since Bonnie Blair's gold in 1994 at Lillehammer. Missing Jackson would almost certainly hurt the team's chances at breaking that drought.
Jackson is currently ranked No. 1 in the world by the International Skating Union after winning four of eight World Cup events this season, with a second- and third-place finish on her resume as well. In 2018, she made the U.S. Olympic team only four months after switching over from inline skating.
Erin Jackson's biggest mistake was not falling down
There was some hope Jackson could get a re-skate and save her Olympic chances, but she somehow didn't stumble enough to get that opportunity.
Under U.S. Speed Skating's rules, a skater may receive a re-skate in the event of an unintentional fall, but not a stumble. So when Jackson realized she was losing her balance, it was actually in her best interest to keep losing that balance until she was sitting on the ice.
Jackson was well aware of that rule after the race, but said it would be a bad thing to encourage:
"I had thought about this before the race, the rules are you have to fall to get a re-skate. My thoughts were in a 500, even a stumble is enough to take out of it, because the 500 is determined by hundredths of a second. So I thought making it so you have to fall to get a re-skate, it's kind of encouraging people to take the sit, if they have a stumble like mine.
"So of course it flashed in my head, 'Maybe I should have sat down,' but I think it's just a bad thing to encourage that. So I think when it comes to a race like the 500, there should be special considerations because it comes down to such a tight time difference."
Now, thanks to a lack of discretionary spots and using only one time to determine Team USA's speed-skating roster, the only way for Jackson to make it to Beijing is for someone to pull out, which isn't an impossibility thanks to the threat of COVID-19 and the fact that the two skaters ahead of her have already qualified for the 1,000-meter event. Bowe even hinted there could be some hope for Jackson as well, telling reporters "I think we'd find a way to get her in the 500m."
There's also an unlikely, but not impossible, scenario in which the U.S. gets three spots in the 500-meter depending on how other countries accept or decline quota spots, per NBC.
Whether or not Jackson get a spot, it's a surreal situation. All she can do is wait:
"I feel like I messed up. It's definitely on me, but it would be awesome to get that re-skate especially being not just No. 1 ranked in the U.S., but No. 1 ranked in the world. It would be kinda strange to not go. All I can do is wait and see if someone declines their spot and then I could go. We'll see."

Morgyn Owens-Celli is a 5th generation straw artist. When he creates his straw hats and fascinators, he is continuing a line of art started in 1831. His mission is to establish a new thought in straw hats by making them as much an artistic fashion hat as one of the humble material from which it is made. Morgyn is attempting for the hat user to rethink straw as something more than just a comfort from the heat and sun of the day. Rather his efforts are in bringing straw into the realm of high fashion. Strawbenders, Morgyn's label does not make a line of hats to feel, but insists on one-of-a-kind art hats or a very small run of a few hats.

PASATIERI: Frau Margot (premiere)
American Record Guide, 2007
The world premiere of Frau Margot, a new opera by American composer Thomas Pasatieri, was a most auspicious way to inaugurate Fort Worth Opera's new concept: Instead of spreading its full season throughout the year, the 60-year-old opera company condensed its schedule into a 3-week "Festival" that ran from mid-May through early June, 2007.
But Frau Margot was more than just a premiere: It also marked the return (after a 20-year hiatus) of a composer who had completed some 17 operas by his mid-30s, but who then all but disappeared from the scene. All of his operas had been performed—some numerous times. But while their lush, melodious, neo-romantic style, and their use of subjects drawn from compelling literary works (such as Henry James's Washington Square and Chekhov's The Seagull), endeared them to both singers and audiences, critics were not so kind. The period when Pasatieri was at his most prolific—from the mid 1960s through the early 1980s—was notoriously inhospitable to new works that embraced traditional musical values. Critics, as well as other opera composers, were enraged by the success of this "kid," still in his 20s, who dared to flout the imperatives of modernism; they vilified Pasatieri with a level of invective that challenged the parameters of basic decency.
So during the mid 1980s, Pasatieri moved to Los Angeles, and developed a lucrative career as an orchestrator of filmscores. (The Shawshank Redemption, Fried Green Tomatoes, and The Little Mermaid are just a few of the films that bear his handiwork.) Then, in 2002, he attended the New York revival of an opera he had composed 30 years earlier. But now the critical climate was much more receptive to the neo-romantic style, and the work was received with considerable favor. Enormously gratified by the reception, Pasatieri, then approaching 60, decided to relocate to New York and resume his career as an opera composer. Frau Margot marks this return.
Frau Margot is a fictional drama based on a supposedly true story, told to librettist Frank Corsaro by Leonard Bernstein, which involves Alban Berg's incomplete opera Lulu. As the story goes, after Berg's death, many composers had approached his widow Helene, requesting permission to complete the work, but all were turned down after Helene's supposed consultation with her late husband's spirit via séances. However, it is believed that Helene suspected that Lulu was modeled on Berg's mistress, and that the former's refusal to allow the work to be completed was tied to her refusal to accept the reality of her husband's betrayal.
Corsaro adapted this strange account into a fictional libretto about a young composer-conductor, Ted Steinert, who has traveled to Amsterdam to request permission from Margot Kunstler to complete the final opera of her late husband, the great composer Erich Kunstler. As the work unfolds, Steinert falls in love with Frau Margot's close friend and companion Kara. In the process Margot begins to fuse Steinert with her husband in her mind, Kara is revealed as having been Kunstler's own mistress, as well as Steinert's. Drug addiction, murder, hints of lesbianism, and insanity all play a role in intensifying the impact of the moody, darkly-textured work.
Pasatieri's score bears his unmistakable fingerprints from the moment the opera begins: Long, tonally-shifting, open-ended melodic lines weave in and out of the orchestral fabric, at times seething, at others soaring, continuously unfolding so as to keep both dramatic and musical energy moving forward. As director as well as librettist, Corsaro cast the work in the manner of film noir, set in the late 1930s with backdrops largely in black-and-white depicting images clearly evocative of that genre. This is a brilliant stroke, creating a natural counterpart to the composer's musical style, which is well suited to the subject matter, rather than the vestige of an outdated aesthetic. In fact, the recent revival and "re-making" of so many film noir classics testifies to the enduring appeal of the genre, while the similarly classic status accorded filmscores by Miklos Rozsa and others points to musical values that transcend their originally subordinate functions. However, despite the immediacy of the music, it is subtler and more complex than one may realize: One does not leave the theater humming the tunes. But this is not to suggest that there are no musical highpoints. The opening section of Act II for example, featuring Ted and Kara, is simply gorgeous. But upon initial exposure, the music largely teases the ear into wanting more. When the final curtain descended, this listener would have been happy to hear the whole thing all over again.
As suggested, the staging was excellent in capturing the mood of the opera. However, somewhat curious was the near-constant presence of Arnold Schoenberg's famous painting of Alban Berg, as well as a late photo portrait, as backdrops to the action. This seemed at odds with its presentation as a work of fiction. The performance itself was excellent. The opera was created with Lauren Flanigan in mind as Frau Margot, and she projected the character's gradual descent into insanity with great power. As Kara Sondstrom, mezzo-soprano Patricia Risley was as convincing visually as the alluring mistress as she was musically, while baritone Morgan Smith was excellent as Ted Steinert, as he sunk helplessly into the maelstrom created by the two women. The supporting roles were mostly adequate to their tasks as well, although Allan Glassman, in the role of Ted's publisher, suffered a few unfortunate vocal lapses. The orchestra, under the direction of Joseph Illick, provided richly sonorous support. One hopes that this successful premiere will prompt further productions elsewhere, as well as revivals of some of Pasatieri's other operas, many of which haven't been seen in years.
