Aid chief: US naming Yemen rebels terrorists a famine threat
Edith M. Lederer, Associated Press
Updated 12:24 am EST, Thursday, January 14, 2021
FILE - In this Oct. 1, 2018, file photo, a woman holds a malnourished boy at the Aslam Health Center, in Hajjah, Yemen. A leading aid organization on Monday warned that U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's move to designate Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels as a "foreign terrorist organization" would deal another "devastating blow" to the impoverished and war-torn nation. less

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. humanitarian chief is urging the United States to reverse its decision to declare Yemen's Houthi rebels a terrorist group, warning that the designation will likely lead to "a large-scale famine on a scale that we have not seen for nearly 40 years."
Mark Lowcock planned to make the appeal in a speech to the U.N. Security Council on Thursday, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared the Iranian-backed Houthis a "foreign terrorist organization" late Sunday and said the designation will take effect Jan. 19, President Donald Trump's last full day in office before Joe Biden is inaugurated as president.
Aid organizations and senior Republicans also have warned that the U.S. designation could have a devastating humanitarian impact on the conflict-wracked nation facing the risk of famine.
Lowcock said data show that 16 million of Yemen's 30 million people will go hungry this year.
"Already, about 50,000 people are essentially starving to death in what is essentially a small famine," he said. "Another 5 million are just one step behind them."
Lowcock said every decision made now must take this into account.
Stressing that the terrorist designation has companies pulling back from dealing with Yemenis, Lowcock warned that famine will not be prevented by the licenses the United States has said it will introduce so some humanitarian aid and imports can continue to reach Yemen.
"What would prevent it? A reversal of the decision," Lowcock said.
He said Yemen imports 90% of its food, nearly all purchased through commercial channels, so aid shipments cannot be enough to stave off hunger.
"Aid agencies give people vouchers or cash to buy commercially imported food in the market. Aid agencies cannot -- they simply cannot -- replace the commercial import system," he said.
Six years of war between a U.S.-backed Arab coalition and the Houthi rebels have been catastrophic for Yemen, killing more than 112,000 people and wrecking infrastructure from roads and hospitals to water and electricity networks. It began with the Houthi takeover of the north in 2014, which prompted a destructive air campaign by the Saudi-led coalition, aimed at restoring the internationally recognized government.
The Houthis, who receive financial and military support from Iran, rule the capital and Yemen's north where the majority of the population lives, forcing international aid groups to work with them. Agencies depend on the Houthis to deliver aid, and they pay salaries to Houthis to do so.
The U.S. designation is part of the Trump administration's broader effort to isolate and cripple Iran. It also shows support to its close ally, Saudi Arabia, which leads the anti-Houthi coalition in the war. Saudi Arabia advocated the terror designation, hoping it would pressure the rebels to reach a peace deal. Past rounds of peace talks and cease-fire agreements have faltered.
Lowcock, the undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs, said the U.N. talked to commercial traders when the U.S. first raised the possibility of designating the Houthis as terrorists, and they said they weren't sure they would be able to continue importing food.
After the U.S. announcement, Lowcock said, the U.N. went back to the traders and "the Yemeni companies who bring in most of the food are using words like `disaster,' `havoc' and `unimaginable' when they describe to us what they fear is coming."
He said global suppliers, bankers, shippers and insurers for Yemen companies are "very risk-averse" and some are now phoning their Yemeni partners saying "they now plan to walk away from Yemen altogether."
"They say the risks are too high," Lowcock said. "They fear being accidentally or otherwise caught up in U.S. regulatory action which would put them out of business or into jail."
He said some hope they can keep going but if they can "their best-case estimate is that costs could go up by 400 percent" which would make it too expensive for many importers to do business and too expensive for Yemenis to buy food.

My inquisitive little fellow is really ramping up the questions.
Some lead to investigations. "Where is the water coming from?" he asks my mother after flushing the toilet. To answer him, Mom took the lid off the tank and let Simon watch the magic of valves.
And some questions, when asked for the hundredth time, lead to difficult and unexpected conversations.
I wondered if this would ever come up. The day we put Tristan down, when it came time to tuck Simon into bed, I lost it and had to leave the room. I was fine with Simon seeing me tear up or have an average cry, I even thought that was important. But I did not want him to see heaving sobs if I could avoid it.
This didn't surprise me, either. I know kids Simon's age have a hard time understanding the finality of death.
He's been stuck on this last part. I keep saying, "Their bodies broke" and "They are gone." But this is not a satisfactory answer for Simon. He wants to know where these broken bodies are. If I took Percy and Tristan to the vet and they did not come home, shouldn't they still be at the office? What the heck happens there anyway?
I have side-stepped this question dozens of times, thinking Simon too young for the truth. Last night, though, I saw Simon's confused and questioning eyes and decided that if he's still asking, he deserves a better, fuller answer than the one I've been serving. I did a fair bit of reading on children and death when Percy got sick, and the script I have been using is one recommended in the literature. Nothing told me what to do in the event my child started pushing for specifics, though, so I had to go off script. As a cautious person, this is akin to flying without a net: It makes me very uneasy.
I have no way of knowing what part of that, if any, he understood. Was he unshaken because he still doesn't understand the permanence of death? Probably. Did he really understand the "dust" parts? Probably not. But for all of that, he seemed more satisfied than when he thought Percy and Tristan were stuck for all eternity at the Louisville Cat Clinic. Next stop, a quick chat with a pediatrician or child psychologist to find out if I need to unsay anything.
sounds to this woman as though you are giving him exactly what he needs in small spoonfuls.

About Formula Wellness
Formula Wellness is led by a growing team of providers who don't just know about health but truly live it.
Dr. Brian Rudman
A passionate doctor with over 20 years experience, Dr Rudman has taken his experience with the medical and surgical problems that patients face into a new role that focuses on preventing illness and preserving wellness.
He has seen excellent doctors make incredible advances in treating diseases with surgery and medicine that were unimaginable 20 years ago; however, our environment continues to challenge our bodies making it more and more difficult for us to fight the negative effects of aging and our environment. Dr. Rudman has joined the growing fight with numerous other physicians to focus on balancing our western medical approach to disease with a heavy concentration on the preservation of wellness and the prevention of illness.
As a board certified Anesthesiologist since 1997, Dr. Rudman has has the pleasure of treating thousands of patients across every age group. He has seen first hand the consequences and side effects of conventional medical treatment as well as the implications on the ultimate surgical management of disease processes. Throughout his career he has witnessed the progressive increase in obesity and related diseases that have become the result of the modern day environment in which we live. This issue has not only accelerated to become more common than not, it has also been progressively occurring at a younger average age. This study over the years, has lead Dr. Rudman to the conclusion that there is a missing piece – treating and preserving wellness is something that we as a medical community can be doing better, especially as the outside environmental threats continue to make it more difficult to stay "Well".
Dr. Rudman attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois for his undergraduate training. Here he completed his pre-medical studies while obtaining a Bachelor of Arts in History. He then continued on to the University of Missouri securing his Doctorate in Medicine before going back to Northwestern University for an advanced residency training in Anesthesiology. Here at Northwestern, Dr. Rudman proudly served as Chief Resident during his final year. After 20 years of leading several successful medical practices, he began to devote his attention toward the board certification process and is now Board Certified in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M).*
When Dr. Rudman is not practicing medicine he and his wife Chrissy love to spend time with their four dogs and his two beautiful daughters. He loves watching them grow into amazing young women. Dr. Rudman is also very passionate about fitness and loves competing against his wife in strength training.
*The American Board of Anesthesiology is recognized by the Texas Board of Medical Specialties. However, the American Academy of Anti Aging Medicine is not currently recognized by the Texas Board of Medical Specialties.
Chrissy Rudman
Wellness Practitioner, RTR CNMT
Chrissy's desire to do more to help people lead her to join her husband in starting Formula Wellness Center. Having a passion for helping people since childhood meant that a career in healthcare was the only choice for Chrissy Rudman.

She then left the ER, after obtaining her license in Nuclear Medicine from Baylor University Medical Center, to join and eventually run the Nuclear Medicine Department for a Cardiology clinic in the North Dallas area.
Chrissy is not only passionate about helping people, she is also passionate about about health, fitness, and her four rescue dogs.

Tyson Wheatley: Chasing Light Before It Disappears
"Natural light is my best friend and I feel like I'm constantly chasing it." Whether he's hovering at the mouth of a glacial crevice or capturing the frenetic energy of a crowd right before the beat drops, Tyson Wheatley has a knack for evocative photography. The vivacity of his photographs extends beyond the two-dimensionsional space of the page; in his work, we can live vicariously through his vision and experience the moments he captures for ourselves.
Though he boasts over half a million Instagram followers under the handle @Twheat, photographer Tyson Wheatley cultivated his creative powers long before the genesis of social media. While he was an early embracer of what was then cutting edge technology, his artistic inspiration lies in his childhood. He draws his ideas about artistry from a time when MTV was revolutionizing the way we watch TV and listen to music, and Michael Jackson was every man's muse. In fact, Tyson cites MTV as one of his first inspirations as a photographer because "music and visual communication go hand in hand. Even now," he says, "I often listen to music when shooting or scouting locations. Music lifts me up; it enhances emotion. It gives me confidence to create."
As social media became a tool for connection on a global level, Tyson incorporated it into his artistic process. He not only shared his photographs with people around the world, but also acclimated to this new, innovative community by using sites like Flickr and Twitter as a "platform to join the creative process and be inspired by others." Through sharing his work on a massive scale and joining in creative conversations, audiences around the world began to recognize Tyson's work for its unique, yet accessible beauty.
As new mediums of communication grew exponentially, Tyson continued to explore the interaction between the personal and the technological. While in Hong Kong, he co-founded HK InstaYay, and organized the first ever InstaMeet –a flashmob of Instagrammers gathered to shoot photos and interact through their common art. Even in a time when the impersonal reigned, Tyson continued to see art as a personal medium of expression and stressed the importance of artistic camaraderie. During his time in Asia, he lead more than twenty Instagram photo walks and due to their massive success, shared his experience in a TedX talk in 2012. Most recently, Tyson worked as a Communications Manager for Instagram, using his distinct perspective to teach and influence audiences everywhere.
Looking forward, Tyson is open to new trends, creative approaches and media advances that are on the horizon. As he says, "trying something new is equal parts exhilarating and frightening. As for creating something TRULY new, I think I'm still searching for it."
Tyson stands on the Athabasca Glacier in Alberta, Canada, a natural wonder that is retreating at an average rate of ten meters a year.

Bellerin To Start! How Arsenal Must Line Up To Beat Burnley
Stephen Wallbridge
Arsenal take on Burnley at the Emirates stadium tomorrow and will be expecting to put in a good performance and pick up all three points. Here's how Arsenal should line up:
Goalkeeper: Wojciech Szczesny
This is an obvious one, as our second choice keeper is now sidelined with a long-term injury. David Ospina hasn't yet had the opportunity to fully prove himself at Arsenal yet, and his wait is set to go on. Szczesny will remain unchallenged in goal for the foreseeable future.
Left back: Kieran Gibbs
Gibbs limped off in last week's game against Sunderland with a hip problem. However, in this morning's press conference, Arsène Wenger said he is "quite confident" that Gibbs will be fit. He faces a late fitness test ahead of tomorrow's game.
Centre back: Per Mertesacker and Calum Chambers
Per Mertesacker walks straight in to the team, as there isn't another option. As for Calum Chambers, I'd much prefer to see him in central defence as opposed to Nacho Monreal. Monreal isn't 100% convincing playing in his natural position at left back, let alone in central defence. Chambers has shown his dynamism and I'm sure he's more than capable of pairing up with Mertesacker and keeping Burnley quiet.
Right back: Hector Bellerin
On the few occasions the young Spaniard has played this season he's looked completely comfortable, which is good going given that one of those games was the battering we took away to Dortmund. He has lightning pace and more than enough ability to step in to the right back role. If he doesn't get a game against Burnley, who can he get a game against?
Central midfield: Aaron Ramsey and Mikel Arteta
Arsène has this morning ruled Jack Wilshere out of tomorrow's game, leaving Ramsey and Arteta as the most likely pairing in central midfield. Arteta has often looked off the pace over the last season, but he's still more than capable of putting in a good performance. As for Ramsey, he has struggled to find the form he showed last season, and a game against a struggling Burnley side is the perfect game for him to step up.
Centre attacking midfield: Santi Cazorla
As with Ramsey, Cazorla hasn't shown a shade of the form we know he's capable of producing and he'll be looking to set that straight this weekend. He is one of, if not the, most technically gifted player in the Arsenal squad and he's got the opportunity to pull the strings in attack this weekend.
Left and right wing: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Alexis Sanchez
Sanchez picks himself. He has been in fine form this season and has been the driving force behind a team that has so far struggled to find top form. I'd bet on the Chilean netting another goal or two. Arsène has confirmed that Theo Walcott isn't fit enough to start the game, which means Chamberlain should get his chance to start. He injects pace and energy in to the team whenever he is on the pitch and deserves a proper run in the team.
Striker: Danny Welbeck
Again, we have limited options up front so Danny Welbeck walks straight in to the team. He's made a promising start to life at Arsenal, having already bagged his first hat trick in the Champions League. This weekend he'll have the perfect opportunity to boost his tally in the Premier League.

When I haphazardly enrolled in a German class during my freshman year at Wheaton, I wasn't expecting to stick around for all four years!
On our first day of class, I was struck by Herr Shaffer's challenge to us. "Learning another language is an act of love," he said.
Immediately, my loved ones in Switzerland came to mind. Perhaps a mastery of the German language, culture, history, and anthropology would show them that I cared... It might convince them that their stories were remembered, and that they were dear to my heart.
Lest you assume that this was a grueling, self-sacrificing decision on my part, mastering German was fun! Our gifted professors brought humor and insight into the classroom. I found the study of German at once challenging and incredibly rewarding. To read German literature -- in its original prose -- is to stand on the shoulders of giants. There were so many fables...dramas...incredible tales that reached across the ages and into our classrooms, and taught us how to think. Berthold Brecht's epic theater piece, Der Gute Mensch von Sezuan, prompted our class to debate, "What does it take to be a 'good' person?" Martin Luther's Von der Freiheit eines Christenmenschen spurred us on, as we discoursed theology. And Goethe's tragic play, Faust, warned us to keep our desires and values in check. Perhaps most impactful was Max Frisch's commentary on Nazism and Communism, Biedermann und die Brandstifter. It still causes me to ponder, "When should I trust a stranger? How do I acquire the discernment to keep modern-day 'arsonists' at bay? As a young leader, will I give way to crafty persuasion and false ideology, or will I stand firm?"
The list of profound lessons learned through German literature goes on; the books I read in German classes will inspire, haunt, and guide me for years to come. I hope to pass these lessons and stories on to others. And maybe I will move back to a German-speaking country one day. While there, I will use the German language to demonstrate love. Thanks to my German professors, I won't be speaking the language of tourists.
I chose to study German at Wheaton because I was interested in the language and culture, a decision that was confirmed when I participated in Wheaton in Germany after my freshman year (1994).
After graduating from Wheaton in 1997, I earned my Master's in Divinity from Yale Divinity School, where my facility with German was especially helpful in my study of church history and Biblical studies.
After that, I became an Episcopal priest, and worked in churches in Ohio and New York City before starting my current job as the vicar of a small Episcopal church in the Hudson Valley. On the side, I also write on politics and religion for magazines like Slate, the Huffington Post, Nerve and Salon.
I'm Matt. I graduated in 2000 with a double major in German and Political Science.
I grew up in France as a missionary kid and had been taking German (and loving it) since 6th grade. At Wheaton, I felt a strong desire to take German classes. I was impressed with the course offerings and was grateful for the opportunity to improve my German and get a real taste of German literature and culture.
Thanks to Dr. Shaffer's help, during my senior year, I applied and was accepted to the Bundestag Internship Program (Internationale Parlaments-Praktika) for the year after graduation. I was one of 20 American students (mostly recent grads such as myself) to participate in a year of study at the Humboldt Universität and work at the German parliament (one semester of each). It was a wonderful experience that I will never forget. I highly recommend this program for anyone double majoring in German and Political Science / International Relations or Economics.
During my year in Berlin, I applied and was accepted to the Institute of Political Studies in Paris, where I got a master's in Political Science. I took a couple of master's classes in German. My life and career later took on an unexpected turn when I eventually decided to train for pastoral ministry in Europe, and went to seminary in France.
Since February 2008, I have been assistant pastor of a Baptist church in Paris, Central Paris Evangelical Baptist Church. I also work part-time at the seminary where I studied – the Free Evangelical Theological Seminary – as coordinator of their distance learning department, and I teach a theological English class there.
My experience majoring in German helped to have a broader view of Europe rather than a merely 'French perspective' on the Old Continent. This was obviously useful in my former line of studies and work, but it also is in ministry. It is an advantage for me to have access to theological resources in German. On a more down to earth level, we often have German students visiting our church. In my German major that I felt like the concept of integration of faith and learning was most successful and enriching.

The Ito Maki Tachi Samurai Sword by Marto of Toledo Spain features furnishing (koshirae) of the Ito Maki type recognizable for the braid of the same color, blue in this case, wrapped both on the handgrip (tsuka ito) and the upper part of the scabbard (saya ito). Under it there is a marbled covering, originally made of rayskin. The scabbard (saya) is made in azure painted wood with trefoil figures. The metallic components, the pommel (kabuto gane), the collar (fuchi), the guard (tsuba), the scabbard ring (semegane), the scabbard tip (sayajiri) and the hangers' rings (obitori kanagu) are silver plated with blue fittings. One of the characteristics of the Tachi are the leather hangers (ashi) that allow it to be carried suspended with the cutting edge toward the ground, in opposition to the katana, carried instead with the cutting edge toward the sky.

Cancer cells treated with carbon nanotubes can be destroyed by non-invasive radio waves that heat up the nanotubes while sparing untreated tissue, a research team led by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and Rice University has shown in preclinical experiments.
In a paper posted online ahead of December publication in the journal Cancer, researchers show that the technique completely destroyed liver cancer tumors in rabbits. There were no side effects noted. However, some healthy liver tissue within 2-5 millimeters of the tumors sustained heat damage due to nanotube leakage from the tumor.
Single walled carbon nanotubes wrapped with DNA can be placed inside living cells and detect trace amounts of harmful contaminants using near infrared light, report researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Their discovery opens the door to new types of optical sensors and biomarkers that exploit the unique properties of nanoparticles in living systems.
The researchers and scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign have achieved a major breakthrough in utilizing nanotechnology. The team of researchers has been successful in combining a DNA-based enzyme with a carbon nanotube; they have successfully combined the DNA based enzyme and have converting Carbon Nanotubes into RNA-Degrading Nano-Enzymes. Thus they have created a nanoscale device capable of degrading specific sequences of RNA.
Such a device is capable of providing a novel approach to treat cancer. This device would be quite a beneficial instrument in cancer therapy as it would be enabling researchers to block a cancer cell's production of proteins needed to maintain a cancerous state.

Still Waters: The Ark
Gen 6:14-17 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
The method of Divine judgment was revealed to Noah; "And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh...." To escape this "flood of waters," Noah was instructed to build an ark, or a boat. The dimensions of this boat were given. It was to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. The ark was to have one window in the top and one door on the side. It was to be constructed of gopher wood, which was most likely of the cypress variety. There were to be three stories in the ark, and it was to be built with rooms. The ark was to be covered with "pitch," which was "mineral pitch or asphalt... Asphalt is an opaque, inflammable substance which bubbles up from subterranean fountains in a liquid state, and hardens by exposure to air, but readily melts under the influence of heat." (Smith's Bible Dictionary) It was used as a cement and as for coating of the outside of vessels. The asphalt covering of the cypress built ark would provide a watertight seal, thus making it impervious to the "flood of waters" that were to be sent upon the earth, adding to its buoyancy. The ark would have had the capacity to haul up to the equivalent of 450 semi-trailers. According to nautical engineers, the ark was near the maximum size known for wooden vessels. Honest science concludes that the ark would have been capable of hauling the animals spoken of in Scripture while remaining afloat during the great deluge. Of course, Bible believers do not require the affirmation of science to bolster their faith in God's Word, but it certainly encourages them when science verifies what they already know to be trustworthy and truthful.

The Utterly and Completely Definitive Guide to Cool
Lord Cutler Beckett: You're mad!
Captain Jack Sparrow: Thank goodness for that, because if I wasn't, this would probably never work.
Note: This Trope has been subjected to some misuse. Please read this article before listing it on a work's YMMV page.
Someone who is Crazy Awesome is someone who's completely nuts, in an amusing way, and is effective at what (s)he does because of that craziness. In real life (s)he'd get fired from whatever job (s)he has/would have, or even arrested—at the very least, the things (s)he does just plain wouldn't work. But somehow, as his/her every action is generally protected by the Rule of Cool, (s)he manages to be both effective and a character that the audience likes or even loves.
What separates this character from being a plain old Cloudcuckoolander, Bunny Ears Lawyer and the like is that it is because of his/her extravagant madness that the Crazy Awesome can both function in the work and have such appeal.
For example: let's say The Chosen One's best friend, Ed Smith, wears a traffic cone on his head. Said traffic cone is spray painted metallic purple and has a grinning chimpanzee's face painted on the front. And Ed insists that you call it Sheldon. Yet despite this, Ed is very loyal to The Chosen One and can hold his own against the army of Mooks. So far, he seems like your average Bunny Ears Lawyer, right? The traffic cone is an eccentric trait if there ever was one, but it's not necessarily why he's liked by the audience. Now suppose about ten episodes into the series, the Big Bad decides to drop a bomb on the Hero's city, and only Ed can do something to stop it. If Ed were to catch the bomb in his hand then kick it back to the Big Bad's jet, thus destroying them both, he's still not Crazy Awesome, he's a Badass Bunny Ears Lawyer.
If, instead, Ed pushes an inconspicuous button on the underside of Sheldon's base, and a jack-in-the-box chicken head springs out of the top and shoots Frickin' Laser Beams out of its eyes that disintegrate both the bomb and the jet in the space of five seconds, then Ed Smith (and Sheldon) has become Crazy Awesome.
In other words, it is because of Ed's quirkiness that he is an effective cast member. He would not be as effective (or, indeed, the same character) without the eccentricities. There can't be one without the other.
On average, every other action the Crazy Awesome does is cool, awesome, and/or funny, over-the-top, or a combination thereof. The Heroic Comedic Sociopath is Axe Crazy Awesome. A Large Ham is a verbal Crazy Awesome. As previously mentioned, a character that can "work" without the quirks (but still wouldn't be the same) is a Bunny Ears Lawyer. If (s)he's just crazy, (s)he's a Cloudcuckoolander. If his/her crazy awesomeness prevents from being killed or arrested, when everyone else is, (s)he's just benefitted from a Lunatic Loophole. May be a Lethal Joke Character. Expect lots of Insane Troll Logic to be behind their plans and antics. Compare Power Born of Madness, Eccentric Mentor and The Wonka.

A simple node list provider.
The node-list provider enables pallet to work with a server rack or existing virtual machines. It works by maintaining a list of nodes. Each node minimally provides an IP address, a host name, a group name and an operating system. Nodes are constructed using make-node.
An instance of the node-list provider can be built using node-list-service.
Make a node representing the local host. This calls make-node with values inferred for the local host. Takes options as for make-node.
Returns a node, suitable for use in a node-list.
Create a node-list compute service, based on a sequence of nodes. Each node is passed as either a node object constructed with make-node, or as a vector of arguments for make-node.
Optionally, an environment map can be passed using the :environment keyword. See pallet.environment.


Working mainly with the format of painting, Jiyoung's practice examines the most conventional and fundamental conditions for an artistic object to be defined as painting. In order to question such, the picture plane – the essence of the medium – is transformed with a physical cut-out or overlapping of panels. By showing the leftover of painting as a completed form or reconfiguring the way it encounters the viewers, she attempts to show the hidden three-dimensional qualities of painting and the relationship between its physical status as an object and image on the surface.
Jocelyn is on the hunt for the point of transition between internal and external, real and imagined worlds. Using her own body as a starting point, she explores the inside/outside topography of the female form, looking to folklore, surrealism and supernatural fiction to investigate the identification of women with the earth, the home and the machine.
The materials she uses - domestic fabrics, beauty products, earth pigments, industrial materials – represent for her a point of transition for the body, the moment it meets the organic or the manufactured world. She uses absorbent materials that, due to their proximity to our bodies, play into tales surrounding the haunted object, where inanimate objects assume human qualities; from dolls and charms to animated furniture and aircraft parts. For her sculptures, she combines these signifiers to blur the boundaries between the natural world and the manufactured one, resulting in a super-natural hybrid of the two.

Today's ultramarathoners may go the distance thanks to a gene that broke millions of years ago.
iStock.com/epicurean
This broken gene may have turned our ancestors into marathoners—and helped humans conquer the world
By Elizabeth Pennisi Sep. 11, 2018 , 7:01 PM
Despite our couch potato lifestyles, long-distance running is in our genes. A new study in mice pinpoints how a stretch of DNA likely turned our ancestors into marathoners, giving us the endurance to conquer territory, evade predators, and eventually dominate the planet.
"This is very convincing evidence," says Daniel Lieberman, a human evolutionary biologist at Harvard University who was not involved with the work. "It's a nice piece of the puzzle about how humans came to be so successful."
Human ancestors first distinguished themselves from other primates by their unusual way of hunting prey. Instead of depending on a quick spurt of energy—like a cheetah—they simply outlasted antelopes and other escaping animals, chasing them until they were too exhausted to keep running. This ability would have become especially useful as the climate changed 3 million years ago, and forested areas of Africa dried up and became savannas. Lieberman and others have identified skeletal changes that helped make such long-distance running possible, like longer legs. Others have also proposed that our ancestors' loss of fur and expansion of sweat glands helped keep these runners cool.
Still, scientists don't know much about the cellular changes that gave us better endurance, says Herman Pontzer, an evolutionary anthropologist at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, who was not involved with the work.
Some clues came 20 years ago, when Ajit Varki, a physician-scientist at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and colleagues unearthed one of the first genetic differences between humans and chimps: a gene called CMP-Neu5Ac Hydroxylase (CMAH). Other primates have this gene, which helps build a sugar molecule called sialic acid that sits on cell surfaces. But humans have a broken version of CMAH, so they don't make this sugar, the team reported. Since then, Varki has implicated sialic acid in inflammation and resistance to malaria.
In the new study, Varki's team explored whether CMAH has any impact on muscles and running ability, in part because mice bred with a muscular dystrophy–like syndrome get worse when they don't have this gene. UCSD graduate student Jonathan Okerblom put mice with a normal and broken version of CMAH (akin to the human version) on small treadmills. UCSD physiologist Ellen Breen closely examined their leg muscles before and after running different distances, some after 2 weeks and some after 1 month.
After training, the mice with the human version of the CMAH gene ran 12% faster and 20% longer than the other mice, the team reports today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B . "Nike would pay a lot of money" for that kind of increase in performance in their sponsored athletes, Lieberman says.
The team discovered that the "humanized" mice had more tiny blood vessels branching into their leg muscles, and—even when isolated in a dish—the muscles kept contracting much longer than those from the other mice. The humanlike mouse muscles used oxygen more efficiently as well. But the researchers still have no idea how the sugar molecule affects endurance, as it serves many functions in a cell.
Similar improvements probably benefitted our human ancestors, says Andrew Best, a biological anthropology graduate student at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) in Amherst, who was not involved with the work. Varki's team calculated that this genetic change happened 2 million to 3 million years ago, based on the genetic differences among primates and other animals.
That's "slightly earlier than I'd have expected for such a large shift in [endurance]," says Best, as it predates some of the skeletal modifications, which don't show up in the fossil record until much later. But to Pontzer, the date makes sense, as these ancestors needed endurance for walking and for digging up food. "Maybe it's more than about running," he notes.
However, "Mice are not humans or primates," says Best's adviser at UMass, Jason Kamilar, a biological anthropologist also not involved with the new work. "The genetic mechanisms in mice may not necessarily translate to humans or other primates."
Either way, says Pontzer, the study is exciting because it gets researchers looking beyond fossils and into what might actually have gone on in the bodies of ancient animals. "This is really energizing work; it tells us how much is out there to do."

Regulators Shift Enforcement Focus to Hedge Fund Marketing Practices
Jul 16, 2014 | Basics, Regulation |
The removal of restrictions on general solicitation, a consequence of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, has created new opportunities for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to probe the depth of hedge fund pockets. The National Examination Program, part of the SEC's Office of Compliance Inspection and Examinations, has made it clear that the accuracy of performance data used for marketing purposes will be an SEC priority.
Hedge fund firms also need to be cognizant of the SEC's heightened scrutiny of actual marketing practices as permitted under the new rules arising from the passage of the JOBS Act. Private equity and venture capital firms will be impacted as well.
Using proprietary risk analytics, the SEC's enforcement division will be scouting the horizon for firms whose performance claims are inconsistent with published strategies and/or deviate from established benchmarks. These analytics are not dissimilar to those already employed by hedge fund clients to ferret out managers who have manipulated their returns. These indicators include skewed return distributions, bias ratios which detect smoothing, and serial correlations. Any red flags will likely result in enhanced enforcement efforts.
What it Doesn't Mean
This does not signal any relief from other enforcement efforts, as the SEC will add around 130 new positions to beef up its enforcement division. As a result, compliance officers will not only need to maintain a vigilant stance, they would do well to review all policies and procedures in place relative to their firm's marketing efforts and, of course, ensure the accuracy of any and all performance claims made in conjunction with the firm's retail clients.
As recently as May of this year, an investment advisor and its principals were charged with distributing false performance statistics to potential investors. The SEC also alleges that the CFO altered the opinion of an independent auditing firm to parallel the altered performance statistics.
Other Enforcement Allegations
Under the new rules additional enforcement cases have arisen as a result of:
Failing to disclose if, and to what extent, performance results reflect the reinvestment of dividends or interest earnings
Reporting gross rates of return that fail to deduct advisory fees
Neglecting to report fees and expenses incurred on funds invested in funds
Failing to distinguish between model performance results and actual trading results
Making inappropriate comparisons of a fund's return to a benchmark that had significantly different volatility
Distributing marketing materials which include performance claims without the review and approval of the Chief Compliance Officer and /or other members of the management team as directed by the firm's policy and procedure terms
Remarkably, as the last example indicates, the SEC's enforcement effort extends to ensuring that a firm enforces its own internal policies!
A Proactive Course of Action
Formulate and execute written policies designed to ensure compliance
Employ a qualified compliance officer to administer the firm's written policies
Ensure that internal reporting systems are auditable and well understood by a majority of the firm's employees
Establish internal controls to detect anomalies and investigate the cause
Create tolerance reports to compare fund performance to appropriate benchmarks and investigate discrepancies immediately and thoroughly
Making compliance a top priority from the "top" down is an absolute necessity in the current regulatory environment.
