LEAKED: The iPhone 5?
Dave Golokhov
Merely whispering the words "iPhone 5" to Apple fanboys is like ringing a bell for Pavlov's dogs or wafting a female perfume in the direction of David Duchovny: It gets everyone a little wet.
The latest rumor comes from a guy in San Francisco who, while riding a train, took a mediocre cell phone picture of what he deems to be an Apple employee holding the holy grail, aka the iPhone 5, which is due to be released in September.
What he tells people he saw was an HTC EVO-like screen, which suggests an edge-to-edge display with no bezel. Also, the edges of the phone had rounded metal with a black glass back, which the rumor mill has been churning about for months.
The iPhone 5 is set to launch in just over a month's time, so they are out there in the wild, and this could have been one of them.
In other news, a Vietnamese website released clearer images of what appears to be the new iPhone 4S, which is also due sometime in September. It's alleged to have a plastic front and back, and if the photos are accurate, they confirm that.
Get set for a crazy September.

DoJ May Repay Full Tilt Poker Debts
In an unexpected statement issued by the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, it would appear that the US Department of Justice (DoJ) may directly compensate players who were (allegedly) robbed by Full Tilt Poker.
Home » Poker News » Online Poker News » DoJ May Repay Full Tilt Poker Debts
by Poker Girl
The news came completely independently of the AGCC´s decision to revoke Full Tilt Poker´s operating licence and gives new hope to players who have been (allegedly) defrauded of more than $300 million.
Full Tilt Poker Players Are Victims of Crime
Based on the Department of Justice allegations against Full Tilt Poker, players who lost money on the online poker site could be considered to be victims of crime subject to a successful conclusion of the DoJ civil and criminal actions against the company and its directors. In addition to the $331 million that the DoJ has already seized from the company, four directors of Full Tilt Poker have also had orders made against their personal assets.
Players from Outside USA Benefit Too
The "Victims and Witness Service" established by the Department of Justice under the Justice for All Act (2004) is not only for the benefit of American residents. Any player who has been unable to withdraw money from the Full Tilt Poker web site can contact the Victim/Witness Coordinator at the US Attorney´s office and advise them that they have been the victim of a crime. Once players tell the DoJ coordinator that they are seeking "restitution of lost funds" in the cases United States v. Full Tilt, et al., 11 C 2564 and United States v. Scheinberg, et al., 10 CR 336, they will be kept up to date with the progress of the cases – and their claim against them – as the hearings progress.
It might take a number of years until players receive a refund of their bankrolls in full, but it is better than any of the promises issued by Full Tilt Poker since June.
The Full DoJ Statement
After the amended complaint in United States v. Pokerstars et al., 11 Civ. 2564 (LBS), was filed on September 22, 2011, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York received a number of new inquiries from individuals regarding the recovery of their funds from Full Tilt Poker.
By way of background, in April of 2011, this Office entered into a domain-name use agreement with Full Tilt Poker. That agreement, among other things, expressly authorized Full Tilt Poker to return player funds to players. However, as the September 22 amended complaint alleges, Full Tilt Poker did not in fact have player funds on hand to return to players. Instead, the amended complaint alleges that Full Tilt Poker had, among other things, (a) transferred significant amounts of players' real money deposits to principals of the company, while (b) allowing many players to continue to gamble, and "win" and "lose," with phantom credits in their player accounts.
At this time, this Office, together with the FBI and other agencies, is attempting to trace, secure and forfeit as much as possible of the funds derived from operation of the fraud committed by Full Tilt Poker and its board members that is alleged in the amended complaint. The Office is also attempting to obtain and examine the books and records of Full Tilt Poker. Many of those books and records are kept overseas. The return of forfeited funds to victims of the alleged fraud may be possible, but will depend on several factors, including the successful conclusion of the litigation, the amount of funds seized and ordered forfeited by the court, and compliance with other procedures the Department of Justice may eventually establish regarding return of forfeited funds to victims who lost money as a result of the alleged fraudulent conduct.
We cannot predict the duration of proceedings in this case, other than to state that they will last for many months at the least. We will apprise victims of the alleged fraud of future developments as appropriate. General information regarding what is known as "remission" (i.e., return to victims) of funds that have been seized and forfeited is set forth in Department of Justice regulations found at 28 C.F.R. Part 9.

ABOUT THE WORK ABOUT THE ARTIST MORE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT THE GALLERY SIMILAR WORKS

"Patrick Corrado's composition is not a clone of Pop Art. Nor is it a revival of what has already been seen, argued, and studied. For the Bergamo-based artist and designer, relaunching/reimagining everything "Pop" (as in "popular") from scratch means, first and foremost, decomposing and deconstructing photographic images, symbols, colors and writings that used to display their "glamorous", fashionable, cinematographic, cartoonist, and musical superficiality; and thus he reinvents everything with the help of the computer and translates it into a visual language that de- and re-constructs every single image to the point of rendering it unedited, subliminal, impactful and, in certain cases (such as "Fashion Object", "Rebel, and "Dutch"), bound to explode, to self-destruct until it becomes "dripping" or abstract art. Patrick Corrado defines these spectacular stories as "Metamorphoses of Appearance" that, on a large scale, are told with great precision. Enigmatic like certain collages by Jirí Kolár, immersive like Robert Rauschenberg's neo-Dadaist "Silkscreen Paintings", they feature the iconic portraits of Grace Kelly, Kate Moss, and David Bowie overlapping or blending together in a poetic breath reminiscent of floral bouquets. Elsewhere, the faces come to converse with Botticellian creatures or with Michelangelo's David, enough to trigger the "morphing" effect. And yet, the nostalgic suggestion of "Memories" and the graphic and conceptual aggressions of "Women & Cars" refer to the sociopolitical Figuration Narrative of the '60s and '70s. Lastly, with the "Compressions", the artist ends up denying the very essence of Pop Art. To do so, after selecting several of his works, he puts them side by side and compresses them, creating impenetrable spaces and crevices. In this way, Art accomplishes none other than the reinterpretation of itself." Stefano Bianchi
1971 Bergamo, United States
The artist and designer Patrick Corrado was born in 1971 and studied at the Fantoni Academy of the fine arts, where he began experimenting to elaborate his research focused on the fragmentation of photographic images. The artist begins to give shape to this art form with works executed on behalf of Alessi, having realized in 2007 the manifest for the workshop in Helsinki, Oslo and Stockholm. Subsequently, various other initiatives and exhibitions were undertaken, including the realization of the works under the cure of Andrea Bressan "Moét à la Modé" for Moét&Chàndon and the work "Coverart" for the Principe di Savoia of Milano Hotel. Also in 2007, the artist is selected for his collection "Parallel Worlds" cured by Venezia Contemporanea, exposing at the international contemporary arts exhibition 52 Biennale of Venice.
In 2009, under the promotion of the department of Culture, the artist obtains a personal exhibition in his city of origin Bergamo, titled "Caos Ordinato". In 2008, the work "The New City" is executed and is permanently present in Washington, Milano and Mumbai, in the offices of G&A, a renowned international management consulting firm. Patrick becomes the main protagonist of the exhibition cured by Nicola Scaglione "Portali" of Bergamo, thanks to which the artist is featured in a dedicated article in the September 2009 edition of "Arte", a leading international magazine, for his work "Metamorfosi2", and his collection "Flower" is exposed at the Hotel Lumen of Paris. His works are part of the selection to the Ferrari Art Gallery in Vevey, Switzerland, while "Paris Match" and "ST No. 01" are selected by the curators Kim Knoppers (Foam International Museum of Amsterdam) and Roobina Karode (Director Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, New Delhi, India) in the initiative "100 Days for 100 Curators" by the Saatchi Gallery in London.

When Jesus told His disciples that they should be willing to forgive their offenders even though they offended them as many as seven times in a day, they were astounded. They thought the Lord was going to have to supply them with a superabundance of faith to forgive in that fashion. Jesus made it quite plain, it was not more faith that they needed, just basic obedience. Then to drive home the point, He told them a little story about a servant who only did what he was expected to do in the field and then at home... He concluded that such a servant was considered an unprofitable servant - he only did what he was commanded to do... Such is the disciple who only forgives. Profitable disciples need to go beyond forgiveness.

Nancy and the Dolls + Desensitised
Location: 89 De Grey Street HU5 2RU
Venue: Nancy and the Dolls + Desensitised – The New Adelphi Club
£15 Adv
Screaming Tarts presents…
Saturday November 27th 2021. The New Adelphi Club, Hull.
'Nancy and the Dolls' are an all female rock band, formed in 2014 under the name 'The Sex Pissed Dolls'.
After exploding onto the scene, the band quickly gained a reputation as a must see live band with a great set list and a high energy musical performance that few could match. An enormously successful 2015 tour followed and by July 2016 they were asked to perform at the official after show of the FORMULA 1 British Grand Prix with 'Texas and The Feeling'.
By 2017 the girls were performing a number of shows and festival headline spots as part of their Avenging Angels Tour. Their originality and their own spin on classic covers attracted the attention of John Giddings, who kindly asked the girls to open the IOW Festival in 2016. Following their incredible performance at the Isle Of Wight Festival, they were invited straight back, this time elevated to the Main Stage to perform alongside Run DMC, Kaiser Chiefs and David Guetta.
Initially the band covered songs by The Clash, The Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks, Nirvana and many other rock and punk legends.
In 2016 however the band diversified into writing their own music. Their debut EP 'Maniac' was recorded at Real World Studios alongside producer Steve Brown (The Cult, George Michael and Manic Street Preachers).
2020 is a new chapter for the girls with the new name 'Nancy and the Dolls' which now enables the band to get air play ( being pissed was a problem) the girls are ready to launch a new tour with new material alongside a new original single.
Support from Desensitised, all female rock trio from Nottingham with new album 'Sister Psychosis' out now!

PLEASE NOTE – This show has been rescheduled from Saturday December 5th 2020 at The Welly Club due to the Coronavirus outbreak. All original tickets remain valid for the new date, refunds available for those unable to attend.


Would be amazing like the Stocks App if it had widgets. Please fix!
很方便也實用的小工具,不過如果能像股票軟體可以有桌面widget就再好不過了!Hope to have a widget like stock would be perfect!
Good app would like a widget and ability to work with ameritrade*, and/or other day trade companies. this would be helpful when treating in Asian markets & trying to figure how much money you gained or lost during the day.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF CFI
In 1990, twenty Indianapolis Public School teachers were invited to leave their classrooms and work as "exchange teachers" in a program funded by a Lilly Endowment grant. The position called for the exchange teacher group to write integrated curricular units and serve as staff developers by modeling instructional strategies and supporting other teachers throughout the district.
The exchange teachers were to go into classrooms with their prepared units and teach literature discussion strategies and writing strategies to students while the assigned classroom teachers spent two weeks at the central office engaged in intensive staff development. The classroom teachers would be learning the same strategies that were being taught to their students. Dr. Jerry Harste, Dr. Carolyn Burke, and Mary Lynn Woods prepared the exchange teachers for their work and in-serviced the "intensive teachers". Directed by Carolyn Day, the program was known as the Exchange/Intensive Teacher Program.
It was predicted that the benefit of the Exchange/Intensive Teacher Program would be to the intensive teachers. They did indeed benefit from this model of professional development and the in-service they received. However, the unexpected outcome was the transformation of the teachers serving as the exchange teachers, eventually leading to the development of a school.
THIS IS THEIR STORY….
As the exchange teachers spent time in buildings throughout the district, we encountered students who were not responding to the traditional models of teaching and learning that were in place. Students were not reading or talking about books, they were not writing, not expressing themselves, and certainly not posing problems or pursuing personal interests. As exchange teachers, we worked to develop more active learning communities with students and existing faculty. We saw that dialogue between teachers, in the lounge and after school, began to change. Demonstrating instructional practices that address the needs of students generated enthusiasm among parents, teachers, and principals. It was clear that students, by engaging in more active learning began to view themselves in a different light and to take ownership of their learning. Out of this collective enthusiasm we began to talk about school design and daily classroom practices.
Our talk centered on ways to address the needs of all students in the district, and how to sustain continued engagement that would feed students' interests and value their experiences. We did not pretend to have all the answers; however, we recognized that a one-size-fits-all model was not working.
Dr. Jerry Harste and Dr. Carolyn Burke of Indiana University, Bloomington, Dr. Christine Leland of Indiana University, Indianapolis, and consultant, Mary Lynn Woods significantly shaped our thinking and guided our work. We became researchers and for the first time in many of our professional lives, we were part of a collaborative professional community. Seeing first hand the power of the work that took place when we engaged in action research and professional discourse, we vowed never to work in isolation again and to bring our new understandings to light in our work with our students.
With the support of Superintendent Gilbert, the IPS School Board, and the department administrators at central office, we set out to design a school setting that supported all members as learners. This would be a place where teachers, students of all abilities, parents, university professors, and pre-service teachers could study side-by-side and where everyone's questions would be valued as part of a collaborative community. This place eventually came to be the school we now call home, The Center for Inquiry.
A GRAND OPENING…
In 1993, the Center for Inquiry opened 5 classrooms in a wing of IPS School #92, taking in 100 students in grades K to 5. We were a "school within a school." Jesse Lynch, the principal at school 92, was very supportive of the CFI staff, instructional practices, and partnerships. He welcomed us with open arms and allowed us the freedom to develop. Our university partnership with IUPUI, Dr. Leland, and Dr. Harste developed and we began to house a cohort group of pre-service teachers. Our classrooms were literature based, student centered, and the authoring cycle was used as a model for writing with students. We were just beginning to explore inquiry and how a constructivist philosophy of education played out in the classroom. We were teachers but also learners.
A site based decision making council including parents, university faculty, teachers, and school support staff, guided CFI's program growth. It wasn't long before the parents were asking for a middle school component and we were working on a plan to expand our K-5 program to grade 8. In 1998, our 5th graders stayed with us, beginning our first middle school class of 6th graders.
In 2000, the Center for Inquiry moved to its current location at Benjamin Harrison IPS building #2. We were no longer a school within a school. Superintendent Pat Pritchett and the IPS School Board decided that the time was right for CFI to expand and have their own building. The downtown location was exactly what we wanted; enabling us to take advantage of all the resources our wonderful city has to offer.
Our beginning 6th graders were now our first 8th grade class. We grew from 150 students to 250 students ranging from full day K to grade 8. A former teacher in the CFI program, Chris Collier, moved into the principal's position. The teaching staff increased to 12 homerooms. The university followed us and we continue to work with our IUPUI cohort group. The teachers continue to prioritize their time to allow professional discourse, knowing that there is always more to know and to understand about the teaching/learning process. The students and parents have taken ownership in the learning process, making CFI a very "minds on" place to be. Surrounding businesses, neighborhood organizations, and service groups have joined us in partnership, benefiting all CFI students.
AND EXPANSION WITH IB…
The 2003 school year marked our 10th year anniversary. In the summer of 2004, CFI was awarded a federal magnet grant to pursue candidate status for the International Baccalaureate Primary Years and Middle Years Programmes. Spanish instruction was added to the curriculum for the 2004-05 school year.
CFI replicated in the fall of 2006! The second CFI opened its doors to 200 students in grades K-6 at School 84 and also started its IB journey. In 2007, CFI 2 became the first school in the state of Indiana to be authorized in the Primary Years programme by the International Baccalaureate Organization and authorized in the Middle Years Programme in 2009. With long waiting lists and strong learning communities, the CFI model replicated again in the fall of 2011, opening a third site at School 27 with 200 students. CFI replicated once again in the fall of 2016 at the School 70 site, offering seats to students across the IPS district.

There was a time in the history of our parliamentary democracy when a big debate ensued on the entire spectrum of Centre-State relationship. The debate was about the powers and rights of the federating States of the India Union. Some states felt that their powers stipulated in the Indian Constitution were trespassed upon and they were not free to exercise them. Though the Indian Constitution comprehensively deals with this issue yet the law makers in the country felt that the entire narrative of Centre-State relations should be opened for debate and all misconceptions on either side should be laid at rest for once and for all times. Consequently, the Sarkaria Commission was constituted many years ago, which worked at great length on the subject and submitted a very in-depth and comprehensive report which became the desk book of rules and procedures for division of power between the Centre and the states. Ever since many irritants have been resolved and so far no major controversy appeared in this area.
However, it is not clear what are the obligations of the federating units in regard to implementing various projects and schemes floated by the Central Government or its various ministries on national level and for which it also remains committed to providing financial support. The simple logic is that any developmental scheme which the Centre devises is meant for the benefit of the people of the State. What are the obligations on the State to implement these schemes and projects and what are the suggestive measures to see that these are implemented in the larger interests of the people. This question arises specifically in the case of J&K State where a recurring complaint has been that most of the Centrally sponsored schemes are either not implemented at all or their implementation is at snail's pace so that the purpose of the scheme gets defeated. We do not know whether Sarkaria Commission has focused attention on this aspect because we in the State of Jammu and Kashmir are grievously hurt by non-implementation of Centrally sponsored schemes in the State. The Centre cannot turn Nelson's eye to the phenomenon of non-implementation and at the same time it has no mechanism to enforce its decisions on the State. This has created a very embarrassing situation.
In these columns we have been regularly highlighting such of the Centrally sponsored schemes as have not been implemented by the State or left half way despite the fact that the Centre has made commitment of financing some of these schemes fully and others only partly. In most of such cases, we find that the State administration has not been able to utilize the allocated funds within time despite repeated reminders from the Union Ministries. In any cases, the Centre has extended the dates of completion of the schemes giving a chance to the State Government to go ahead with the job and not lose the grants that stand sanctioned. For example the case in point is of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Gramin) (previously called Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan) for which grants have increased to Rs 69.50 crore. This scheme has a number of aspects like Annual Implementation Plan (AIP for 2014-15 financial year) target of construction of 300000 Individual Household Latrines fixed for the State. Against this target only 2670 Household latrines could be built up to December 2014. Again against target of construction of 530 Community Sanitary Complex, the concerned authorities could get only 14 such complexes constructed up to December 2014. It is greatly discouraging that the Government could utilize only Rs 33 lakh as against availability of Rs 69.50 crore up to December 2014 thereby rendering unspent balance of Rs 69.17 crore as on December 31, 2014. Due to State's failure to expend allocated amount the remaining portion of annual allocation for current financial year could not be secured from the Union Ministry. Under the AIP, 1264 schools were to be provided with toilets but shockingly this facility was provided in only 3 schools. As far as toilets in Anganwadi Centers are concerned, the State could not make this facility available even in one centre as against target of 300 fixed for the current financial year.
We are puzzled whether this is inefficiency and slackness on the part of the State administration or that there is some nefarious intention behind adopting a very negative approach. As said this is the umpteenth time that we have raised the issue of State Government's inability or unwillingness to carry forward the developmental schemes of the Centre. Therefore, it is time that the Centre should take up the matter for deeper study and find out a mechanism that would not let the Centrally sponsored schemes go a waste in the State.


Rugby League's biggest annual community fundraising initiative is now underway with this year's Toyota Monster Raffle out to raise more than one million dollars for grass-roots Rugby League clubs across Australia.
For the first time, the game's annual grass-roots fundraising campaign has also gone online with supporters able to buy Toyota Monster Raffle tickets at www.rugbyleague.com.au/monsterraffle as well as through participating grass-roots Rugby League clubs.
Since being launched by Rugby League's One Community in 2007, the Toyota Monster Raffle has raised more than $1.7million for grass-roots Rugby League clubs across Australia by donating 100 per cent of profits from each $5 raffle ticket sold directly back to the clubs.
Supporters of the initiative who purchase their tickets online will also this year have the option of directing their support to flood and cyclone-affected clubs, with funds collected through this option to be placed in a pool that will then be split amongst the nominated clubs.
"The Toyota Monster Raffle is a way that everyone can help make a difference to grass-roots Rugby League clubs in our communities," NRL Director of Community, Culture & Diversity, Ms Trish Crews, said.
"As there is no expense to the clubs themselves, the more tickets they sell, the more money they raise towards the projects that matter to them most.
"This initiative has the potential to raise significant funds for all grass-roots Rugby League clubs across Australia and, in particular, clubs in regional and rural areas and clubs affected by this year's floods and cyclones.
Among the grass-roots clubs who have benefited from the Toyota Monster Raffle is the Illawarra-based Helensburgh Tigers, who over the last three years raised $16,000 towards building a sheltered deck for its club-house which has led to an increase in community interest and membership of the club.
"Without the Toyota Monster Raffle we would not have been able to build the deck in such a short space of time," Helensburgh Tigers Secretary, Mr Stephen Rolfe said.
Toyota Senior Executive Director, Sales and Marketing, Mr David Buttner, said he is delighted Toyota is actively involved in such an important grass-roots Rugby League initiative.
"Toyota is committed to doing our bit for the community and this initiative is a fantastic way in which we can show our support for grass-roots Rugby League communities," Mr Buttner said.
The Toyota Monster Raffle is a combined project of Rugby League's One Community in conjunction with Toyota. This year's prize pool features two Toyota Corolla Ascents, a holiday at the Byron at Byron resort and a signed Kangaroos jersey amongst the range of prizes up for grabs.

Raiders set to remain in Oakland with Coliseum deal
on 13th March 2019
The long-running saga surrounding the future home of the Oakland Raiders is set to come to a close on Friday with a deal that will see the NFL American football franchise remain at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum for the 2019 season, and potentially the 2020 campaign.
The Raiders are due to move from California to a new $1.8bn (£1.37bn/€1.59bn) stadium currently under development in Las Vegas. The move is due to take place for the 2020 season, but with the team's lease at the Coliseum having expired on February 13 it is technically without a home for the 2019 campaign.
The fallout from the Raiders' relocation has complicated talks over remaining in Oakland, but a resolution has now reportedly been found. The San Francisco Chronicle newspaper said the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority will vote on a deal on Friday. Under the proposed agreement, the Raiders will pay $7.5m to play in Oakland for the 2019 season. An option for 2020, rising to $10.5m, will be included if the new stadium in Las Vegas isn't completed on time.
"We feel like we have satisfactorily dealt with all of the issues and are ready to bring it to the board for approval," Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority executive director Scott McKibben told the Chronicle. "There was some issue around the Raiders practice facility in Alameda that needed to be worked out."
The Alameda facility was built with taxpayers' money but handed over to the Raiders as part of a $200m stadium renovation deal that saw the team return to the Coliseum from Los Angeles in 1995. The Raiders had responsibility for an estimated $525,000 in operating costs, taxes and debt payment on the facility.
The Chronicle said the Raiders had wanted the Coliseum to take back the Alameda facility and assume its costs, while the Authority was keen for the current agreement to remain in place until the end of the new lease.
"It's been agreed that the property comes back to us when the Raiders leave town and stop playing football at the Coliseum," McKibben said. "It had become an issue late in the talks that we needed it to be resolved."
The new deal will also see a change in the handling of revenue from any potential naming rights deal for the stadium. The previous lease had called for a 50-50 split, but the Authority will now gain full revenue from any deal that is struck. "It's a pretty complex deal, so we needed make sure we got it right," McKibben added.
The Raiders in December opted to withdraw a lease proposal to continue playing at the Coliseum. The decision by the Raiders came in response to the earlier news that the City of Oakland had filed a federal antitrust and breach of contract lawsuit against the National Football League, the Raiders and each of the other 31 NFL clubs, claiming compensation for the "cartel" actions that have led to its home franchise relocating to Las Vegas.
The Raiders had held a year-to-year lease with Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority to play at the stadium. This deal was worth $3.5m for the 2018 season. Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf last week said the lease negotiations would not change the status of the lawsuit, with local broadcaster KPIX 5 stating the legal action was not an issue in the talks.
Commenting on the talks, Schaaf said: "The city is done subsidising this team. We have to make a profit if they're going to stay. That's true for the county. For too long, the shakedown of the billionaire boys club has been going on and we are committing to stopping that."
Raiders owner Mark Davis has emphasised his preference for the team to remain in the Bay Area for 2019. The team has also been linked with moves to Levi's Stadium, home of rival NFL franchise the San Francisco 49ers, and Oracle Park, which plays host to Major League Baseball (MLB) team the San Francisco Giants.

I didn't know what else to title this post, but I did want to have it out there and talk about it with you, if possible.
This stumps me a little.
I mean, on one hand, I'm really thrilled when I see products like the ASL "kind" shirt being sold at huge retailers like Target. I liked seeing the ILY in the Women's March. I like seeing anything and everything that I can about my people and Deaf culture.
But is it really fair, as this woman is saying, for hearing people without regard to ASL, to be profiting from all that these signs mean?
It reminds me of rastafarian stuff, Jamaican colors – how misrepresented they often are, used and profited upon by people who have nothing to do with what they really mean to those who believe or are a part of that culture.
Which gives me pause – is ASL and the ILY sign becoming simply trendy to people with no connection to us? The piece about the donation to Deaf Women United being dramatically less than ACLU or PP is valid; the very sign that they are using to promote the campaign is a symbol for a struggle of the Deaf, which makes their use of it reek of appropriation.
I always use the ILY symbol with my children, for what I believe it stands for, 'I love you'. I was unaware that it stands for something different in the Deaf community. As a person who is not deaf, I appreciate the attention the video brings to how some businesses/people exploit disabilities for self profit. I will ask questions those questions mentioned in the video the next time I make such a purchase. Thanks for the insight.

Q: Install Raku (Perl 6) in Ubuntu along with Perl 5.26 I am eager to learn Raku(Perl 6) and its syntax.
I already have Perl 5 installed in my Ubuntu machine.
vinod@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-nyc1-01:~$ perl -v

This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 1 (v5.26.1) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
(with 67 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

Copyright 1987-2017, Larry Wall

Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License or the
GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source kit.

Complete documentation for Perl, including FAQ lists, should be found on
this system using "man perl" or "perldoc perl".  If you have access to the
Internet, point your browser at http://www.perl.org/, the Perl Home Page.

I want to install Raku in the same Ubuntu system. I have couple of questions:

*

*How can I install Raku ?

*If I install Raku, will Perl 5.26 will be get wipedout/updated? I want Perl 5.26 in my system because couple of scripts are running in Perl 5.

*Can I have 2 versions of Perl in single server ?

*Once if I install Raku, how can I run the Raku/Perl 5 code in Ubuntu server? Is it like I should mention use Perl 5.26; at the beginning? By default which version of Perl it will take?

*How can I run Raku code?

A: There is a community maintained Repository of the most recent build of Rakudo available here : https://nxadm.github.io/rakudo-pkg/
This is generally updated a few days after each official release and is currently on 2019.07.1

A: $ sudo apt-get install rakudo
[ ... stuff happens ... ]
$ perl6 -v
This is Rakudo version 2018.03 built on MoarVM version 2018.03
implementing Perl 6.c.
$ perl -v

This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 1 (v5.26.1) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
(with 67 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

The Raku compiler is in a package called rakudo. That package includes a program called perl6 which is the actual Raku compiler. The Perl compiler and the Raku compiler are two completely separate programs, so there is no problem having them both installed and running code using either of them. They are as separate as Perl and PHP.
Update: In a (now, bizarrely, deleted) comment, you asked

What was the way to open a vi editor and write a code in that

You do it in exactly the same way as you would do it for any programming language where the code is compiled or interpreted on each execution - Perl, Python, Ruby, bash, they all work the same way.
You can write a text file containing Raku code and run it with perl6 your_file_name.
Or you can put the correct shebang line (which is #!/usr/bin/perl6) at the top of the file and make the file executable with chmod +x your_file_name.

L'accident ferroviaire de Saujon a eu lieu le dimanche  en France, sur le réseau de l'État, à l'entrée de la gare de cette ville du département de la Charente-Inférieure lorsqu'un train de voyageurs allant de Bordeaux à Royan prit en écharpe un train de marchandises de sens opposé imparfaitement garé sur une voie d'évitement. Survenant moins de deux mois après un autre grave accident à Villepreux sur le même réseau, il suscita l'émotion par son bilan encore plus lourd, et relança les controverses sur l'exercice d'activités industrielles et commerciales par les personnes publiques.

Les circonstances
Tous les dimanches de la saison estivale, le réseau de l'État faisait circuler sur ses voies entre Bordeaux et la station balnéaire de Royan un convoi spécial, dénommé « train G ». Celui-ci, toujours très fréquenté, partait le matin à 8 heures de sa gare de la Bastide et effectuait en deux heures le trajet de 140 kilomètres, empruntant d'abord la double voie de la  ligne de l'État vers Paris, par Saint-André-de-Cubzac, Cavignac et Jonzac, puis bifurquant à Pons sur sa ligne à voie unique vers Saujon. Là, il retrouvait la double voie, établie en 1899 sur les 9 kilomètres conduisant à Royan.

Le dimanche , veille de l'Assomption, le beau temps et la perspective de deux jours fériés consécutifs avaient attiré une affluence exceptionnelle, notamment de membres de patronages et autres mouvements associatifs de Bordeaux ou de ses environs. Aussi, bien que la composition du train ait été forcée au maximum, ses 22 voitures (19 de 3 classe et 3 de 2) étaient bondées de plus de mille voyageurs s'entassant à quinze, voire vingt, par compartiment, ou restant debout dans les couloirs. Des bancs avaient même été ajoutés dans les deux fourgons pour y installer des passagers, mais malgré tout, lors du départ, avec vingt minutes de retard, plus d'une centaine de personnes avaient dû rester sur le quai, faute d'avoir trouvé une place.

Les contraintes d'exploitation de la voie unique imposaient qu'à 9 kilomètres de Royan, en gare de Saujon, un train de marchandises, le 1512, arrivé de Royan à , attende, avant de s'engager vers Pons, à la fois d'être croisé par le spécial venant de Bordeaux, compte tenu de son retard ce jour-là, et doublé par le 98, rapide  Royan – Paris, passant à .

L'accident
Le train G avait marqué l'arrêt réglementaire au signal avancé de Saujon, situé à la halte de La Traverserie, et, approchant de la ville, sortait de la courbe sans visibilité précédant la gare, lorsque  le mécanicien constata que si le disque d'entrée lui donnait bien voie libre, la voie 1 sur laquelle il avait été dirigé était interceptée. En effet, juste à l'endroit où elle était traversée en diagonale par une voie de service, se trouvait la locomotive du train 1512, en tête de quelques wagons. Malgré une tentative de freinage en urgence, la machine et le tender du train de marchandises furent pris en écharpe et renversés sur le côté droit de la voie. La locomotive, le tender, le fourgon de tête et la première voiture du train de voyageurs déraillèrent et obliquèrent vers la gauche avant de s'arrêter, légèrement inclinés. Derrière eux, les deuxième et troisième voitures furent poussées contre l'obstacle sous la pression du reste du convoi et se chevauchèrent en s'imbriquant. Les trois suivantes se télescopèrent, mais sans dommages sérieux, alors que toutes les autres, bien que déraillées, restaient intactes.

Secours et bilan
Le chef de gare, M. Cros, avait eu le réflexe de fermer immédiatement le signal d'entrée côté Royan, évitant ainsi un suraccident alors que l'arrivée du rapide 98 était imminente.
Les premiers instants de panique passés, les rescapés et les agents de la gare s'efforcèrent d'extraire les victimes de l'entassement des épaves. Ils furent rapidement rejoints par la population des alentours, alertée par le bruit de la collision, semblable à celui d'un coup de canon, selon les témoins. Les premiers soins furent dispensés par le personnel médical d'une maison de santé de la ville, aidé dans les heures qui suivirent par des médecins venus des environs, et notamment de Royan avec un premier train de secours.

Les trois voitures de tête étaient majoritairement occupées par un groupe d'environ 70 personnes venues de Barsac dans le cadre du voyage annuel de l'association amicale des anciennes élèves de l'école laïque. Si les compartiments d'extrémité de la première et de la troisième avaient été relativement épargnés, le reste formait un inextricable amoncellement de débris dans lequel  avaient été tués sur le coup. Leurs corps mutilés, dont douze n'étaient pas rapidement identifiables, furent déposés d'abord dans la salle d'attente de la gare, puis dans la halle des marchandises transformée en chapelle ardente. Le chauffeur du train de marchandises avait été écrasé sous le tender renversé, alors que le mécanicien et le chauffeur du train tamponneur avaient pu sauter avant le choc et s'en tiraient avec des contusions.

Les blessés, pris en charge sur place par des médecins venus des alentours, furent, selon leur état, directement transportés dans les hôpitaux les plus proches, ou embarqués dans des trains réguliers ou spéciaux et hospitalisés en fin de journée à Saintes ou Bordeaux.
Certains d'entre eux ayant succombé peu après ou dans les jours qui suivirent, le bilan de l'accident peut être établi à  et .

Après que le préfet de la Charente-inférieure, Pierre Landrodie se fut rendu immédiatement sur les lieux, les autorités publiques nationales, compte tenu de l'ampleur de la catastrophe, tinrent elles aussi à témoigner sur place ou par message de leur solidarité avec les victimes. Le premier à arriver fut Albert Sarraut, sous-secrétaire d'Etat à la guerre, déjà présent à La Rochelle pour représenter le gouvernement à des fêtes de gymnastique, que le président du Conseil, Aristide Briand, chargea de . Il fut rejoint le lendemain par le ministre des travaux publics, Alexandre Millerand, rentré de Suisse en urgence, et le directeur des chemins de fer de l'Etat, M. Raymond Beaugey, qui firent avec lui la tournée des hôpitaux pour visiter les blessés. Le président de la République, Armand Fallières, en route vers la Suisse pour un voyage officiel, adressa au préfet le télégramme suivant :  De l'étranger parvinrent également les condoléances de Robert Comtesse, président de la Confédération suisse, de Guillaume II, empereur d'Allemagne, de Victor Emmanuel III, roi d'Italie et de son  ministre des Travaux publics, Ettore Sacchi.

Bien que dépourvus de moyens lourds de déblaiement, et notamment d'une grue, en , les ouvriers parvinrent à rétablir la circulation sur les voies de la gare en dégageant les épaves des voitures et wagons et en ripant les machines renversées à l'aide de crics.

Suites
Au-delà de la question juridique de responsabilité, l'accident eut aussi un impact politique puisqu'il fut l'occasion de relancer les deux questions, brûlantes à l'époque, des relations de l'État avec les activités économiques d'une part, et la religion catholique d'autre part.

Recherche des responsabilités
Comme lors de tous les accidents causant des victimes, deux enquêtes furent menées simultanément, l'une judiciaire, par M. Aylies, juge d'instruction du tribunal correctionnel de Saintes, l'autre administrative, ouverte à l'initiative de M. Jacques Jouguet, directeur du contrôle au ministère des Travaux publics, qui la confia à M. Édouard Brisse, ingénieur en chef de l'exploitation de la compagnie de l'Est.

Si la collision et ses effets catastrophiques résultaient bien de la conjonction de multiples fautes et insuffisances, comme l'affirmait le député André Ballande à la Chambre, la justice en imputa la responsabilité exclusive à un seul agent.

Le stationnement malencontreux de la locomotive
À Saujon, le train de marchandises devait prendre et déposer des wagons. Ces opérations nécessitaient de le couper, puis de le reformer, après diverses évolutions sur les voies de la gare. L'essentiel avait déjà été effectué, puisque les wagons formant la nouvelle composition avaient tous été regroupés sur une voie d'évitement. Cependant, avant de faire refouler sa locomotive sur le convoi pour permettre l'attelage de ses différents tronçons, le mécanicien, Fernand Bouissou (44 ans), l'avait quittée, et était parti se ravitailler en eau potable à une pompe située à proximité. Le chef d'équipe Drouineau, qui dirigeait les manœuvres, reconnaissait lui avoir donné l'autorisation de s'absenter momentanément, mais niait être responsable du choix malencontreux de l'endroit de stationnement de la machine.
D'aucuns émirent un temps l'hypothèse que si celle-ci empiétait de quelques mètres sur la voie principale, c'était à la suite d'une fausse manœuvre du chauffeur Papillon, tué dans l'accident, mais l'enquête le démentit, puisque la position de son corps indiquait qu'au moment du choc il devait se reposer assis sur le coffre du tender. Le mécanicien ne contesta d'ailleurs pas avoir abandonné momentanément sa machine à cet emplacement. Il est en effet probable qu'il croyait disposer d'un temps suffisant, et incidemment être couvert par la signalisation, puisque la réglementation en vigueur imposait que lors des manœuvres, les signaux commandant l'entrée de la gare restent fermés jusqu'à ce que le chef d'équipe donne l'ordre exprès de les rouvrir.

L'arrivée intempestive du train de voyageurs
Au moment de l'accident, la commande des aiguillages et de la signalisation était assurée par l'aiguilleur Desaffit (56 ans), opérant depuis une cabine implantée à la sortie de la gare en direction de Royan et La Tremblade. Celui-ci, constatant que la queue du train de marchandises était arrivée à son niveau sur la voie d'évitement, en avait conclu que l'ensemble du convoi y était bien garé, même si la courbure des voies l'empêchait d'en voir la totalité. Estimant les manœuvres terminées, il avait donc sans plus attendre ouvert le signal d'entrée côté Pons au train de voyageurs en approche.

Celui-ci aurait normalement dû aborder la gare à 15 km/h, mais, sans doute pour réduire son retard, marchait encore à 50 km/h, comme l'indiqua la bande Flaman de la machine saisie par le juge d'instruction. Apercevant l'obstacle, le mécanicien Dieuaide déclencha immédiatement le freinage d'urgence, qui réduisit à environ 10-15 km/h la vitesse au moment de l'impact.

Les déficiences de l'État
Elles furent d'abord dénoncées lors d'interventions à la Chambre en  à l'occasion de la discussion du budget des chemins de fer, puis par la défense devant le tribunal correctionnel.
 Le reproche essentiel portait sur la composition du convoi, manifestement constitué d'un assemblage improvisé de véhicules hétéroclites pour faire face à l'affluence. Ainsi, le député Fernand Engerand regrettait que les voitures écrasées, anciennes et d'un poids d'environ 7 à 8 tonnes, aient été encadrées par d'autres pesant de 18 à 20 t, qui les mirent en miettes lors du choc. Un autre de ses collègues, André Ballande, affirmait que compte tenu de leur vétusté, elles étaient impropres à figurer dans la composition d'un express.
 Subsidiairement, on pouvait aussi reprocher à l'État, comme le fit le député Ballande, de ne pas avoir installé à Saujon, comme dans de nombreuses gares, un système d'enclenchement solidarisant automatiquement signalisation et aiguillages, dispositif qui aurait évité l'accident alors que l'emplacement de la cabine de l'aiguilleur, dans une courbe sans visibilité, le rendait nécessaire. De même, un autre député, Henri de La Porte rappelait que la Chambre avait invité un an auparavant le gouvernement à prescrire aux compagnies l'adoption de l'attelage automatique, et que si le train de marchandises en cause en avait été muni, ses manœuvres auraient été facilitées et la catastrophe, « peut-être, eût pu être évitée ».

La responsabilité exclusive de l'aiguilleur
Si le juge d'instruction avait fait application d'une définition extensive de la causalité, il aurait pu, compte tenu de tous les éléments ayant contribué à la survenance et à la gravité de l'accident, inculper plusieurs personnes, employés de la gare, mécaniciens, et même cadres techniques ou administratifs. Choisissant d'utiliser une autre méthode, il considéra que sur l'ensemble des fautes et erreurs commises, celle de l'aiguilleur Desaffit ouvrant prématurément le signal d'entrée avait été déterminante et devait être considérée comme l'unique cause du drame. Cet agent fut donc le seul à être traduit devant le tribunal correctionnel pour homicide et blessures par « maladresse, imprudence et inobservation des règlements ». Son procès, au cours duquel il parut « d'intelligence lente » à certains journalistes, s'ouvrit à Saintes le mercredi . Le lendemain, le tribunal se transporta sur les lieux afin de procéder à une reconstitution en faisant manœuvrer une locomotive et une rame de wagons, pour vérifier les conditions de visibilité en gare, puis finit la journée en entendant  dans une salle du bâtiment voyageurs. Le mardi suivant, dans son réquisitoire, le procureur de la République, estimant l'aiguilleur seul responsable, demanda  sa condamnation à l'emprisonnement, tempérant cependant sa sévérité en déclarant qu'il n'était pas opposé au sursis. Après plaidoirie des avocats de la défense insistant sur le surmenage du personnel de la gare et les conditions difficiles de son service le jour de l'accident, le tribunal condamna le lendemain Firmin Desaffit à un an de prison et 200 francs d'amende, en lui accordant le bénéfice du sursis. L'État ayant été dans la même décision déclaré civilement responsable, fut par la suite condamné par le tribunal civil de Saintes à indemniser les victimes avec lesquelles un accord amiable n'avait pu être trouvé.

Exploitation politique

Mise en cause de l'État entrepreneur
L'accident avait eu lieu sur une ligne faisant partie depuis sa mise en service du réseau dit des Chemins de fer de l'État constitué « provisoirement » par décrets en 1878 pour pallier la défaillance de certaines compagnies privées. Comme il suivait de peu celui de Villepreux, mettant en cause le même exploitant, il offrit l'occasion de nouvelles controverses entre partisans et adversaires de la gestion publique des chemins de fer, alors que celles sur le rachat par l'État de la Compagnie de l'Ouest en 1908 persistaient encore.

Si le Journal  des débats politiques et littéraires, dans un éditorial intitulé  « Cruelle journée », adoptait un ton assez neutre pour écrire : « Nous ne voulons pas insister sur cette circonstance que la catastrophe de Saujon, comme celle de Villepreux, a eu lieu sur le réseau de l'État, mais le public ne peut s'empêcher d'en être frappé et de se faire cette réflexion qu'il n'y aurait pas assez d'indignation contre une grande Compagnie qui aurait une malchance si persistante », le reste de la presse s'engageait plus ouvertement selon ses orientations idéologiques. Ainsi, L'Univers, sous le titre « Questions sociales.Les monopoles d'État », écrivait : « la catastrophe de Saujon a rappelé au public que l'État était le plus pitoyable des industriels ». Le Temps qualifiait le réseau de l'État de « pétaudière tragique » en concluant que des réformes s'y imposaient « comme des mesures de salut public », alors que dans un éditorial ironique Le Figaro disait du réseau de l'État : « c'est le mal qui y est la règle, et le bien qui est l'accident ». Aux critiques sur la piètre qualité du service, l'éditorialiste de La Presse, quant à lui, en ajoutait une autre, relative à la moindre indemnisation des victimes et à l'absence d'effet exemplaire de la condamnation d'un État, «être anonyme qui n'a aucune responsabilité et qui se moque du «quand (sic) dira-t-on» ».

À l'inverse, Le Rappel désavouait ces attaques en publiant des tribunes libres de René Besnard (« L'exploitation d'une catastrophe ») et  Marcel Régnier  (« Réseau d'État ») prenant la défense de l'exploitation publique. Il en allait de même pour L'Humanité, qui, deux jours après le drame, n'hésitait pas à conclure un éditorial de Louis Dubreuilh intitulé « Après Saujon », que « l'heure est décisive pour l'avenir des nationalisations qui s'imposent »
.

Tensions avec la hiérarchie catholique
Bien que la loi de séparation date de plus de quatre ans, les tensions qu'elle avait soulevées n'étaient pas totalement apaisées. L'accident de Saujon leur offrit une nouvelle occasion de s'extérioriser.

De sa résidence de vacances en Haute-Savoie,  Mgr Andrieu, archevêque de Bordeaux adressa à son diocèse par voie de presse une lettre aux termes soigneusement pesés dans laquelle tout en exprimant sa compassion pour les victimes, il évoquait « la leçon qui se dégage de la catastrophe », dénonçant « la voie périlleuse où le monde se précipite » en recherchant le « mirage » des plaisirs terrestres. Par la suite, la presse s'appesantit sur deux faits révélateurs de l'intransigeance des deux camps, survenus lors des cérémonies religieuses consécutives à la catastrophe.
Le premier eut lieu le  à Royan lorsque le sous-préfet de Marennes et le secrétaire général de la préfecture, assistant à la messe d'obsèques du chauffeur Papillon et de quelques autres morts de l'accident, restèrent ostensiblement assis en refusant de se lever à la demande de l'officiant, même lors de l'Élévation, attitude jugée « inconvenante ».
Le second eut lieu le  à l'église de Saujon, lors de l'office solennel célébré en mémoire de toutes les victimes, lorsque dans son homélie, Mgr Eyssautier, évêque de La Rochelle, qualifia la séparation de « provisoire » et la Déclaration des droits de l'Homme de « tapageuse », provoquant la sortie des représentants de l'État avant la fin de la cérémonie.

Les commentaires suscités par ce dernier incident varièrent selon les convictions de leurs auteurs, certains considérant les propos de l'évêque comme « une grossière incorrection », d'autres estimant au contraire que la sortie prématurée des représentants de l'État prouvait leur « défaut d'intelligence, de tact et de sang-froid ». Le quotidien anticlérical La Lanterne, dans un éditorial intitulé « L'inévitable incident », en concluait que la logique de la séparation interdisait aux représentants de la République de s'associer désormais à toute cérémonie religieuse.

Where does Art Criticism Head for?...
Over the past 20 years, the role of art criticism has dramatically declined, as critics have been first stripped of a say by curators and then constantly challenged the theoretical bottom line by "rebellious" artists, with no shortage of warnings of "art criticism is dead!" [1] Under the double impact of commercial culture and ideology, the "seriousness" of art criticism is strongly questioned. It is easy for critics to turn into propagandists revolving around galleries and art museums to support their exhibitions and feeding the media with snackable contents.
The Central Academy of Fine Arts and the Teaching of Chinese Painting (1954-1963): An Interview with Shao Dazhen...
The Central Academy of Fine Arts was at the center of the interweaving of various artistic trends in a special historical period. It would be significant and helpful for us to look back on this history and learn from it
The Art of Liberation: Curating as a Script for Action ...
Why act? We should act to move ourselves and society, which would allow individuals locked into social classes, historical stages, and relationships to show off their lived potential, giving birth to new possibilities for re-imagining themselves and society, and for renewing themselves and society. This is not the art of worship; it is the art of liberation, and curating is a script for turmoil, a script for action.
The Political Rationality of the Art Institution and its Criticism Practice...
The "new world" and "new humans" have been "taken sample" before the late arrival of modernity, and modern art and its core idea "autonomy" have already been overwhelmed by the more aggressive market and ambitions for a catch-up prior to its flourishment could be made by those creative individuals in China (and Asia).
The Blind Leading the Blind: Notes and Meditation on the Transfer of Curatorial Knowledge...
If we want to find our way in what is out of focus, blurred and shrouded in nebula, groping around and feeling our way through to the "knowing" and"learned ignorance" rather than knowledge, the blind might be the best guide to direct and lead the blind.
Speak for Yourself - Interview with Xi Chuan...
As a teacher, at a certain stage and age, you need to cleanse your knowledge structure. If you have this ability, you are a person who is "on the road", you are still growing - the growth of the soul; you are able to look at things from more angles. Of course it is difficult. If you want to be a really creative person, that's all you can be. I don't have any more expectations of my students than I have of the teachers at CAFA. Students are a blank piece of paper, some are capable and clever, some are a little slower, but it is the face of a school's teachers that determines the quality of the school.
Troubled Intention Ahead...
If an exhibition seeks answers via posing questions, then which questions does the "Confusing Public and Private: The 3rd Beijing Photo Biennial" need to ask the audience? In my view, this edition of the biennial centers on a question which has entangled and coerced consistently from the invention of photography to the present: the ambiguous relationship between public and private.
Under the Skin of the Art of Marc Quinn...
Marc Quinn is an acclaimed British artist. The first work of his that came to our knowledge was Self, the blood head, from which our fascination with him began. We often wonder, at the present time, how a contemporary artist would work on, think about and confront the vastness of art. It is not a question that everyone can respond to or address profoundly; as a result, the distinctions and diversity of art have developed as it is now. Marc Quinn is an artist who has an intuitive sense for life; it does not come from any intentions of lecturing others, or a posteriori rules for regulating what art is or not. I have been to the UK many times in the past three years and visited Quinn's studio four or five times, during which I enjoyed our conversations, including a formal interview. As well as having read multiple catalogues and numerous publications on him, I was able to look at and learn about Quinn through a close-up lens. His art career path manifests the fact that the key of making art is by reflecting on life and thinking liberally about the world. Since childhood, he has nurtured a curiosity in things and materiality in general, which is themost basic and raw human quality; as long as one knows how to utilise, practise and develop it, it can be transformed into art that is systematic and meaningful. The presence of art speaks for the essence of itself: boundless imagination and free will.As the fruit of Quinn's boundless imagination, he has created art such as making breads to replicate the shape and lines of his own hands. Each person has unique palm lines. When you eat the breads, they become a part of your body, an incarnate of yourself. The act can be further extended to the notion of Holy Communion bread, therefore eating the breads, likewise, is like a conduit to the sacred. This extended imagination has transcended any art forms and techniques; without the former, the latter would profoundly lose its significance; and art, nominally, would fail to have its initial impetus and fundamentality.In the realm of the contemporary, art is constantly in flux – partly because we have a developed fine art education and communication infra-structure, whereby people, both art professionals and the general pub-lic, have their own prior expectations and presuppositions about art. If something were to fall out of their range of known methodologies or patterns for art, one might expect misreading and suspicion to arise; even the validity of being regarded as 'art' would be in question. However, contemporary art intends to disregard all the rules; it can only reconcilethe intuition of the true self and reflections on life when the application of art forms becomes the least important constituent. Marc Quinn, for instance, was not bound to social or ethical norms when he pondered the human phenomenon of 'incomplete bodies': he noticed how the fragmented classical statuary in museums was highly admired by viewers as a paradigm of art; and how this anti-utilitarian, entrenched aesthetic perspective consciously overlooks the disparity in the real life of disability and the disabled, who are undoubtedly human beings with great life value and dignity. This inspired Quinn to make a sculpture of his artist friend Alison Lapper, Alison Lapper Pregnant. This sculpture depicts a nude Alison who was born without arms and with shortened legs, in pure white Carrara marble, gazing far forth and looking serene, solemn and peaceful. In 2005, it was chosen by the commissioning committee in London to sit on Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth. This sculpture raised widespread attention and debate in that year and an amplified reinterpretation even featured in the London Paralympics opening ceremony in 2012, leading to worldwide celebration. This work can only be borne of a reverence for life; it is not constrained by any prior doctrines; and its existence is glorified by the thoughts about life and the sanctified beings. Quinn's Self(1991) has become an internationally-recognised classic in contemporary art history, as a life-size cast of the artist's head made up of ten pints of his own blood extracted and stored over a period of several months. The work is cryogenically frozen and displayed in a specially-made refrigeration unit; the refrigerator also functions as a plinth while the technology secures the work survival. Albeit being an artificial product of technology, the blood head is formed of a material collected from a living being; its physicality recalls a notion of biological cyphers and the religious interpretations of the meanings of life, which in turn embody the philosophy of the mind and body. We could trace a resonance of many great minds in this mighty work, from René Descartes's 'Je pense, donc je suis', the more recent Maurice Merleau-Ponty's 'perception and corporeity', to the ultimate question of body and soul that human beings have been strenuously seeking for millennia (unfortunately the work will not be shown in the exhibition at CAFA Art Museum this time, due to the prohibition of importing blood-based objects). Quinn's artistic creation is borne of liberal thinking that echoes the origin of life, derives from an understanding of it and shows respect for it. I have seen works and books of various languages and multiple forms and types at Quinn's studio, not in any order of taxonomy of art education or making. His art does not comply with any textbook rules. As a Cambridge graduate of History of Art and History, and not of fine art practice, he has probed the boundaries of academic classifications; materials and methodologies merely serve as a route to visualise the perceptions from his life experience and thinking. To complete his 'Alison Lapper' series, he made a mould of her body at his studio and then oversaw the best stone-masons in Italy in carving the finished figure out of marble. This is about life's 'embodiment' experience. Quinn uses the best practices available to fulfil his artistic vision and assure the quality he envisages. Art has no rules, and this is the essence of art, which has been repeatedly proven by numerous predecessors and by common consent of the modern-day social community. Blood, DNA, performance and interaction, marble, bronze, stone, painting, photography, installations – when isolated from their connotations, they are just raw materials. Once materials are endowed with symbolic life meanings, that is when the solemnity emerges – as it is said, 'the transfiguration of the commonplace'. Today the most striking and sublime art works pay tribute to the living, thus, they are apt to be accepted and agreed by us, ourselves equally in pursuit of the meaning of our own existence. Despite a tortuous journey, the history of modern and contemporary art is the best testimony: this is the way it shall be. Marc Quinn is an artist among the most scintillating stars that will be praised in art history.BY WANG CHUNCHEN (DEPUTY DIRECTOR AND CURATOR CAFA ART MUSEUM)
