The most important indexing source for medical research is the Index Medicus, which provides print and electronic access. Other reference materials are many and include numerous well established dictionaries and encyclopaedias. There are also handbooks, some multivolume. Medicine is one where textbooks become reference books. Every special sub-discipline of medicine has older well-established textbooks as well as newly written ones. These become mini-treatises/handbooks/encyclopaedias for that discipline. A few have been included in this chapter but for the most part they are not listed because of the sheer numbers.


The companies' advertising teams competed with each other for millions of ad dollars from Secure America Now, an advocacy group whose advertising campaign included anti-Clinton and anti-Islam messages, Bloomberg reported.
According to Business Insider, the ads violated the norms of of political advertising that the traditional media needs to follow. The case also undermines the companies' frequent claim that their algorithms are to blame for any issues that happened during the US elections.
As TechCrunch noted, the case is a "textbook illustration" of how Facebook's and Google's apparent commitment to progressive values comes to conflict with their dedication to free speech.


It's getting pretty crazy on my end. I've been developing while working out the logistics of what my next step is. I would really like to be able to develop full time. I might try raising the funds to do that.
I've applied for a government grant and I think the presentation went well. Wish me luck because if we get selected we'll be getting another developer. Which means more content.

Receive our quarterly newsletter and program updates.
The School of Lost Borders in committed to creating opportunities for people from all walks of life to express their invdividual natures within old and modern ceremonial practices.
Solitude and silence in wild nature, the commitment to community, honoring personal intent, and the acknowledgment and responsibility to bring forth one's gifts, are the foundation of our ceremonies and teachings. Every course at the School is a right of passage, a border crossing from the past to the future, from the old to the new, from the outward to the inward, from the self to the Self. The emphasis is on the challenge of life transitions, the borders we all must cross.
Rites of Passage trainings for vision fast guides and other human beings. Trainings explore the elements of The Four Shields of Human Nature, Mirroring, and Storytelling in immersion programs through one week, two week of month-long trainings.
The modern day vision fast is a border crossing practice. When one steps across the threshold and into the unknown wilderness, boundaries begin to dissolve and our vision begins to expand. Everything is pregnant with meaning, and nature speaks to us in the voices of rock, tree, and wind. Following the ancient pathway of this rite of passage, we step into our true nature and remember our home among the wild. We become who we were born to be.
The Practice of Living & Dying
As our modern culture has grown ever more sophisticated, we have also become ever more divorced from our natural surroundings and from ancient wisdom about living and dying. We have pushed Death away from Life, the dying away from the living - all in order to impose the illusion of control on the uncertainty of change. We have lost touch with the natural world and with our place in it as mortal animals. We have forgotten "how to die."
We seek to answer a call heard in the voices of people who sit in our circles. Many people express a longing to bring their deep and ceremonial relationship with wild nature into their work lives, homes, relationships and communities. Living the Practices is designed to synthesize the traditions of the School of Lost Borders with spiritual, artistic/creative, personal and professional disciplines and practices.
The Great Ballcourt Initiation – Spring Fast

Death is the ultimate agent of transformation—be it a physical death or "the little deaths" encountered throughout life. Indigenous cultures developed rituals to aid and guide people through these stages of change and renewal, utilizing the power of death to enhance and intensify these experiences.

Nature of Council
Council is found in many old and new cultures: in families, spiritual centers, schools, hospitals, prisons, nonprofit and corporate boardrooms. The practice is finding increasing use among groups that want to move from a hierarchical power structure to a model in which initiative, responsibility and leadership are shared. It offers a way of communicating that encourages attentive listening and honest and compassionate expression. It is used as a way to vision, to move with conflict, to reveal the truth of a situation, and to get to the heart of a matter.
CA Men's Vision Fast
The world is changing fast, and we must do our best to keep up. We now face unprecedented waves of transformation. The blossoming and decay of our modern ways is calling attention to fundamental questions about who we are and how we relate – to ourselves, each other, and the world we're part of.
These questions illuminate a new and yet very old story about what it means to be a man. In these times – what does that mean? What are the inherited forms of masculinity that are calling out to be transformed? Healed? Loved? What are the gifts and the wounds that need to be grieved, praised, and renewed to truly honor and embody this shared identity of manhood?
Through this rite-of-passage we invite those who identify as Men to take a leap – to look deeply at our notions of manhood – and to enter the threshold with an empty belly and open heart. Alone and together we'll embark on a shared journey towards finding integrity, towards finding ourselves and our community, and towards finding our yet-to-be written futures that are calling us to slow down and show up to embody the transformation these times are asking of us.

With SimpleGeo's Shutdown Imminent, Parse Swoops In With A Life Preserver
by Jason Kincaid
Yesterday Urban Airship announced that it would be shutting down SimpleGeo on March 31 2012, only a few months after acquiring the company for around $3.5 million. The news irked plenty of developers — you can find a thread on Hacker News here where some SimpleGeo customers are voicing their frustration. So what are developers supposed to do now? Urban Airship's blog post outlines a few options, including a partnership with Factual to port over any Places data developers might have stored on SimpleGeo. But SimpleGeo also has a handful of other classes of data, like Storage, that Factual can't be used for. Now Parse is stepping in to try to help out (and snag) any customers looking to figure out where to move next. Parse is a well-funded, developer-facing service that's designed to help build applications efficiently. It aims to handle the back-end tasks associated with creating mobile applications (things like user accounts and, in this case, server-side storage), which allows mobile devs to focus on the app itself. In their FAQ announcing SimpleGeo's shutdown, Urban Airship suggested other tools to handle Storage, including Google Fusion Tables, GeoCommons, Oracle Spatial, and Esri ArcGIS. But Parse cofounder Tikhon Bernstam says that the tools on the list "are all bad". He explains that in the case of the aforementioned services, developers will be responsible for migrating their data off of SimpleGeo. He adds that none of these services offer a mobile SDK, and in some cases developers are expected to host the data themselves, or pay for pricey database storage. Parse's tool, which they whipped up yesterday afternoon, is a lot easier than that: you just have to enter your SimpleGeo API keys, and it'll transfer all of your data over in one step. Obviously this isn't a purely benevolent move — Parse sees an opportunity to get a bunch of new users — but it could help reduce a few headaches nonetheless. You can see a video of the tool in action below.

Loving Spoonful has collected and delivered over 75,000 lbs of perishable food since being founded in 2008. Throughout the year, they work with members of the community, caterers, restaurants, hotels and farmers to prevent good food from going to waste. Every pound of fresh food reclaimed by Loving Spoonful contributes significantly to the nutritional content of two meals.
This summer they've decided to say thank you to their supporters in the best way they know how: with food.
The Summer Lovin' Food Fiesta, which takes place Aug. 22, will feature local gourmet food trucks Roamin Komodo Streatery, Logan's Lunch, and Mission St. North, each one serving up their twist on Mexican cuisine. Meanwhile, a bevvy of Latino cooks will be cooking up food not normally found in Kingston, like Yucca con chicharon, tostadas, pupusas and pastelitos de carne Hondurenos.
Whereas Kingston restaurants have donated a portion of proceeds during a specific week in the past, this is the first year the organization has thrown the Fiesta.
From 5 to 8 p.m. supporters of Loving Spoonful are invited to participate in the festivities in the new pavilion at Lake Ontario Park. Flamenco performer Mauricio Montecinos will entertain guests during the event, which also features activities for the kids like bean bag tossing, water balloons, art projects and a giant Twister board.
Shaw said it's important to get children involved because Loving Spoonful enhances access to fresh, healthy food in an empowering, inclusive and environmentally sustainable manner. As such, they have launched a kids workshop at the Wally Elmer Centre, which gives kids the chance to hang out for three or four hours in the garden.
"They're talking about gardening and food but they're also having healthy snacks, and doing arts projects," said Shaw.
The program, which is open to children aged five to 15, continues to grow.
For those who love to garden, Loving Spoonful continues their Acorn Community project, which sees the community come together to grow healthy vegetables to donate to the wonderful meal programs and shelters that feed those who may struggle to access healthy food. Expert gardeners offer their expertise to those wanting to learn gardening skills and create community as they strive to reach Grow a Row's 2013 goal of 6500 lbs of fresh local food donations. The Acorn Donation Garden is in the Oak Street Community Garden, just west of the intersection of Victoria St. and Oak St.
Loving Spoonful, a non-profit organization, makes it possible to deliver food to a network of more than 18 social service agencies across the city, providing food for hot meal programs, community centres, drop-in centres, women's shelters, homeless shelters and centres for addiction and mental health treatment.
To find a donation location in your area or to get more information on Loving Spoonful and their programs and events, visit www.lovingspoonful.org.


Every new invention is supposed to be the "next big thing" – and some are. The cellphone, the PC, the plane: all inventions that revolutionized the way we live our lives and far surpassed their initial hype. But some inventions don't quite measure up to the fanfare that precedes their release. These end up in the scrap bin of history. Check out what inventions we all though would revolutionize our world... but only ended up on this website list.
A group of disabled veterans ride Segways in Orlando.
Steve Jobs said it would be bigger than the PC. Venture capitalist John Doerr (who backed Netscape and Amazon) said it would be bigger than the Internet. Today? The Segway hasn't exactly lived up to its early-Millennium hype.
After its release in 2002, however, the Segway quickly sputtered to a halt. Since Segways could go up to 13 m.p.h., they were not allowed on most sidewalks. However, they also went too slow for many roads, leaving customers unsure of where to ride them. Plus, the $4,950 debut price put the machines far out of budget for the average consumer. But the problems didn't end there. In 2003, Segway recalled all of its devices on the market (only 6,000 at that point) because customers were injured falling off the machine when the battery was low. By 2004, Segway was out of its initial investment money and would have to mortgage its factory.
Since then, Segway has been able to bounce back a bit, gaining contracts with police departments, security companies, and golf courses, and has seen 50 percent sales growth per year since it was first released. For now, however, it appears the most Segways have changed is the state of the tourism industry, with Segway tours in nearly every major city in the United States.


When going on a wellness vacation, what is it a customer is looking for? Is it just the usual pampering in a luxury retreat as far away as possible from the hectic lifestyles or are they ready for a holiday that is more profound and meaningful?
A lot of guests have reached the next phase of consumerism. They realized that materialism won't fulfill their needs and they feel the urge to connect with nature, like-minded people and most importantly, with themselves. These consumers want to spend money on valuable experiences, rather than tangible goods. This is the point, when healing becomes a crucial fragment in the wellness concept.
Unsurprisingly, in a capitalized economy, future-oriented market players have recognized the potential that comes with it and are starting to move their investments towards this ever so fast growing segment in the wellness industry. Consumers are shifting away from purchasing materialistic products. Instead, they are looking for authentic transformational experiences and a soulful relationship with the brand. Predictably, having spent a nice weekend in a wellness resort will surely boost our mood for a brief moment and give us the feeling of having reached a momentarily state of well-being. However, after a few days back in real life, most of us feel exactly the same as we did before going on that trip. This phenomenon usually happens in multiple aspects of materialistic consumption. Especially when bearing in mind that the 'experience economy' has become an ordinary product itself.
Expectedly, this niche market and the wellness industry is growing rapidly, but we have to ask ourselves if a mere investment in renewed spa areas really picks up this revolutionary sense of actual transformation. Achieving a sense of personal transformation is a new form of luxury of inestimable value.
Therefore, healing becomes a necessary element for every hotel that wants to be well-positioned in the wellness industry and forces them to develop new competencies that allow them to meet the needs of well-being focused consumers, and being prepared for a prosperous future in the industry.


At least one of the private sector companies delivering the government's new disability assessment has already been financially punished for falling below the required standards, just months after the programme was launched.
Members of the work and pensions select committee were told of the fine as they heard evidence for the first time from Mike Penning, the new Conservative minister for disabled people.
He admitted there had been problems with the performance of both Atos Healthcare and Capita – the two providers – in delivering the assessment for the new personal independence payment (PIP).
And when Labour MP Glenda Jackson told him that "the real burden is being borne by the claimant", Penning said the only way to improve that situation was to "hold the contractors' feet to the fire".
But when Disability News Service tried to confirm afterwards which of the two contractors had been fined, a Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) spokesman declined to clarify the position.
He said: "The PIP contract contains service-level expectations, and credits are applied if providers fail to meet these standards.
Penning's evidence confirmed reports by DNS of lengthy delays, both in parts of the country where assessments are carried out by Atos and in those where Capita are assessing claimants.
Penning said he had made the decision in October to delay the rollout of the new benefit – which was launched this April – because he was "concerned about quality… and I wanted to make sure we were getting the decisions right".
He said there had been particular concerns with assessments in areas covered by Atos, already notorious for its failings in delivering the assessment for out-of-work disability benefits.
He also said he intended to bring in the "top bods" from both Capita and Atos to "talk to them about compassion".
And he spoke of complaints from his constituents in Hemel Hempstead that they were just treated "like a number" when they asked for information about the state of their claim.
Committee members told him of their own constituents who had waited months for their claims to be dealt with, while others had not received letters telling them of their assessment until it was too late to attend.
The Conservative MP Nigel Mills said that some of his constituents were finding it difficult to arrange assessments with Capita, and that "when you do it gets cancelled and then you can't get another one booked".
Dame Anne Begg, the disabled Labour MP who chairs the committee, said that one of her constituents had started a PIP claim in June but had still not had a decision.
Jason Feeney, benefits director at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), told the committee that some terminally-ill claimants had had "awful experiences" with delays in the early days of the new benefit, although most such claims were now being dealt with within 16 days.
But Feeney also said that there had not been many complaints about the way claimants were being treated during the assessment, or the nature of the test itself.
The committee also heard the first figures showing how many people were being awarded the new benefit.
Of about 200,000 PIP claims lodged since April, only 30,000 decisions have been made by DWP, with about half of those successful in their claim.
But the committee was told that these were probably not typical figures, as more than half of the claims that have been decided have been for people with terminal illness.
Feeney also told the committee that there had so far been "very small numbers" of appeals, which he said reflected the care taken in designing the assessment and training DWP decision-makers, although Penning warned that it was too early to draw any firm conclusions.
The minister also confirmed that the government still intended that 55 per cent of the current 1.75 million DLA claimants would either receive a lower award or lose their benefit entirely once they had all been reassessed.
Most existing DLA claimants will not be reassessed until 2015 at the earliest.

Payroll Weighted Scoring
Take a look at the MLB - New York Yankees/Tampa Bay Devil Rays Box Score Monday September 25, 2006 and witness a team with a payroll above $200 million walloping the piss out of a team with a payroll of around $40 million (if that).
Now is the time, yet again, to suggest and support a way to level out the playing field in baseball without the affrontery of a salary cap. Its called, payroll weighted scoring.
What it means is that, in today's game, the Yankees would have to score five times as many runs as the Devil Rays to actually win the game. Thier payroll is more than 5 times higher, that's the divider to arrive at the final score.
Which would mean that an asshat like Steinbrenner would actually have to build a baseball team instead of just blank-checking his way into the playoffs.
[Update: So yeah, the Yankees won the game 16-1 so they'd have won this one pretty much hands down either way. But still, the concept has merit, if only to piss off King George.]

So you want to join the handbag community? Well, there's some things you'll have to know first. You need to know the who's who of handbags, special terms when talking about bags, brands to avoid, and different types of leather. That may sound like a lot, but the internet has many resources to finding these things out and more. So without further ado, let's begin with the most important thing to know when it comes to handbags.
This one should be easy if you've taken an interest in handbags but some of you still might not know.
This is the top handbag line on the market with prices ranging from just over $10,000 to over $100,000. This is also one of the most exclusive bags not only because of its prices but because of its availability. Often times to buy a Birkin from Hermès, you have to get on a year to two-year waiting list. It's availability may be because all Birkins are completely handmade. Everyone who loves handbags knows this and you should know it too.
The Hermès Birkin comes in a variety of leather and the most expensive is crocodile. You can see a guide here from Portero Luxury about Hermès leather on YouTube.
This is the second most popular bag from Hermès. You can find a Kelly from around $4,500 to over $45,000. This bag is made in the same types of leather as the Birkin.
Everyone loves a good Chanel bag and you should at least be acquainted with the different names of these bags. We have the Chanel Flap Bag, the Double Flap, the Wallet on Chain, the Chanel 2.55, and the Chanel Boy Bag. These are the most popular bags that Chanel makes.
You should also know the different leather that Chanel uses which you can also find here in a guide from Portero Luxury.
Handbags from Louis Vuitton are very popular as they are usually people's first luxury handbags. That and Coach.
The handbags to know from Louis Vuitton are the Alma, the Speedy, and the Neverfull. These bags are what you'll see people carrying the most and probably already have seen people carrying.
There are certain words you need to know when talking about handbags. Everyone in the handbag community knows them and it will help you better understand handbags.
The silhouette of a bag is simply the shape of it. For example, the Louis Vuitton Alma has a round silhouette where as the MCM Munich has a boxy silhouette.
This is simply the metal that is used on a bag like the zipper, the buckle on a shoulder strap, or a turn lock if the bag has one.
Gussets are the side panels of a handbag that hold the leather pieces together. For example, the Celine Luggage Tote was popular for its winged gussets.
Some handbags come with little pieces of metal on the bottom to keep the bag from touching the floor if you ever put it down. These are called feet.
As you know, not all handbags are the same. There are many types of handbags but I'll tell you the major types you should know.
A satchel, sometimes called a top-handle bag, is a bag that you would usually carry by the handles, though, many satchels come with shoulder straps. Satchels are also usually structured bags.
A shoulder bag may have handles like a satchel, but it is exclusively made for and worn on the shoulder. Shoulder bags can be structered or loose.
Not to be mistaken for a shoulder bag, a crossbody bag comes with a longer strap and is slung across your body rather than over your shoulder.
Tote bags are loose bags that usually come with open tops. Some may have a flap to close them but they will still be pretty loose.
There are three brands that make handbags that you need to know and we just talked about them. The major three are Hermès, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton.
Handbags from these brands are the most popular and sought after bags in the world. When a new handbag comes out from one of these brands, everyone is talking about it.
Those are the most important things you should know if you've taken an interest in handbags. The handbags I have listed here are the most popular but there are other bags and other brands that make beautiful bags like the Givenchy Antigona or the Saint Laurent Sac de Jour. Go to your favorite brands website a take a look at their handbags. I'm sure you'll find something you like.

Jeremy Lin was introduced as the point guard for the Brooklyn Nets, bringing the Palo Alto High graduate back to the area he captivated in his Linsanity era when he averaged 24 points, nine assists and four rebounds for the Knicks during a 10-game stretch in February 2012.
Lin is reuniting with coach Kenny Atkinson, the former Knicks assistant coach who helped develop Lin.
•The Chicago Bulls signed guard Isaiah Canaan, who spent most of the past two seasons with Philadelphia. He averaged a career-high 11 points last season while shooting 36 percent from the field and just better than 36 percent from long range, hitting 176 of 485 three-point tries. Canaan was one of 11 players in the NBA who made four or more threes in at least 20 games.
•The Phoenix Suns will play two regular-season "home" games in Mexico City this season — against the Dallas Mavericks on Jan. 12 and the San Antonio Spurs on Jan. 14.
Social activism is coming at a cost for WNBA players.
The WNBA has fined the New York Liberty, Phoenix Mercury and Indiana Fever and their players for wearing black warm-up shirts in the wake of recent shootings by and against police officers.
All three teams were fined $5,000 and each player was fined $500.
Though the shirts were the Adidas brand — the official outfitter of the league — WNBA rules state that uniforms may not be altered in any way.
The league sent a memo this week to the teams reminding them of the uniform policy. The memo came after Minnesota, New York and Dallas all wore shirts in remembrance of two men who were shot by police and the five Dallas police officers who were killed in an attack July 7.
Hockey: Forward Brad Richards, 36, is retiring after 15 NHL seasons and two Stanley Cup championships — with the Tampa Bay Lightning (2004) and Chicago Blackhawks (2015). Richards was a 10-time 20-goal scorer and finished with 298 goals and 634 assists for 932 points in 1,126 games. He also played with the Dallas Stars, the New York Rangers and the Detroit Red Wings.

BELARUS: The Government expects investment, innovation boom in 2013
21 September 2012 —
The Belarus government expects a skyrocketing growth of investment and innovation efforts in the country in 2013, Prime Minister of Belarus Mikhail Myasnikovich said on 19 September.
Mikhail Myasnikovich said: "In 2013 the government expects a vigorous growth of investment and innovation activities in the state sector and the private sector. To make it happen, we have allowed unprecedented conditions of financial support for the production sector and the services sector".
Enterprises of all types of ownership will have direct access to innovation funds. The state budget has appropriated over Br2 trillion for that. This is direct budget money intended for breakthrough innovative projects that can be implemented by private and state-run enterprises alike, explained Mikhail Myasnikovich. Besides, considerable funds are set aside to partially compensate the interest rate on loans issued for innovation development and modernization projects.
Private business is an important innovator in all the countries, stressed the Prime Minister of Belarus. For now no major landmark projects and initiatives are put forth by the business community in Belarus. "The government is ready to help those, who invest in the future and create enterprises of tomorrow, on equal terms," Mikhail Myasnikovich made it clear.
There are plans to deploy a system for microfinancing the business in Belarus in 2013 in addition to plans to issue loans for the business establishment and plans for microleasing. Insurance will be improved. There are plans to further streamline tax administration and accounting reports.

I also owe to my time at Warwick my interest historiography. Do they see some elements of their definitions as more important than others? As such it is an ideology deeply bound up with modernization and modernity, one which has assumed a considerable variety of external forms to adapt itself to the particular historical and national context in which it appears, and has drawn a wide range of cultural and intellectual currents, both left and right, anti-modern and pro-modern, to articulate itself as a body of ideas, slogans, and doctrine. However, only recently has the view that fascism also has roots in France become a serious topic for debate. From Liberalism to FascismThe Croix de Feu and its successor, the Parti social français, stood at the centre of the political conflict in the turbulent final years of the French Third Republic. In the process, received views of the nature of French society and politics are contested. The fortifications seemed to be an irrelevance, a symbol of military myopia and refusal to look the imperatives of the modern world in the face.
However, only recently has the view that fascism also has roots in France become a serious topic for debate. Only recently has the view that fascism also has roots in France become a serious topic for debate. A rich and complex study, essential to specialists. If the 19th century was the century of the individual liberalism implies individualism we are free to believe that this is the 'collective' century, and therefore the century of the State. 'History 'Leaving behind the vacuous rhetoric of fascist intellectuals and Parisian elites, Passmore provides us with what we most need: a study of the provincial dynamics of the right. Fascism is notoriously hard to define.
Short Oxford History of Europe Oxford University Press, pp. Urban society in the Rhone; 4. Recent studies conclude that fascism did exist in France, principally through the Croix de Feu, a veterans organization transformed into a mass political party under strong leadership. Fascism, an exotic compound of nationalism and elements of conservatism and socialism, was essentially a product of a continent that had been brutalised and bankrupted by a catastrophic war and was fearful of the prospect of communist revolution. I can work with English, French and German sources. The sheer strangeness of fascism is striking.
Newcastle upon Tyne: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, pp. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else. The Croix de Feu and its successor the Parti Social Francais stood at the centre of political conflict in the turbulent final years of the French Third Republic. New York: Oxford University Press. I have developed all of these interests at Cardiff, in the context of a department that has long been sensitive to the problematic nature of national identity and its entanglement with trans- and non-national contexts, as the work of Gwynn Alf Williams testifies. Princeton University Press, 1998 p.
In the process, received views of the nature of French society and politics are contested. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable. In the process, received views of the nature of French society and politics are contested. Eco distinguishes this from a rejection of superficial technological advancement, as many fascist regimes cite their industrial potency as proof of the vitality of their system. Passmore's detailed and exhaustive probings of local sources has yielded impressive results. And a very good one.

A History of Fascism, 1914—1945. Dr Passmore places French fascism in the wider context of the history of French conservatism through a micro-study of a crisis of the liberal-conservative tradition in Lyon. But clearly this is not true of, say, Portugal or the various South American dictatorships. This principle leads to a fundamental contradiction within fascism: the incompatibility of ultimate triumph with perpetual war. A determination to approach, to threat, to resolve the worker question in itself. Fascism: Past, Present, Future, New York: Oxford: Oxford University Press.

Relaunched Bloomsbury Theatre to set up programme of research-driven performance

by Georgia Snow - Feb 13, 2019
The recently renovated Bloomsbury Theatre is establishing a programme inspired by research that will see performers and creatives work alongside leading scientists and academics.
The central London theatre, which is owned and run by University College London, said it wanted to be at the forefront of using theatre and performance as a mode of research, and to challenge "traditional ideas about the role of theatre in a research-intensive university".
The venue relaunched this week following a £19.8 million restoration project that closed the building for three-and-a-half years.
Prior to its closure, the Bloomsbury had an existing reputation as a venue on the stand-up comedy circuit and will continue to stage theatre, comedy, music and dance in addition to UCL student productions.
The new Performance Lab, which launches in May, will explore how live performance and research can inspire each other, bringing artists and organisations into the theatre to work with researchers from fields including science, technology, art and design.
Among the first public events programmed is a live experiment by cognitive neuroscience professor Sophie Scott into why humans laugh and what happens to our bodies when we do.
The programme also includes a live event exploring the neuroscience of imagination, using new brain imaging technologies to reveal what happens when actors perform a character.
Frank Penter, director of operations for UCL Culture – which manages the theatre – told The Stage: "We hope [Performance Lab] will mean cutting-edge researchers can work with creative organisations to use the space in an interesting and new way.
"UCL is a research-intensive university, so we asked: how can researchers work together with large and small creative organisations and artists in a way that is mutually beneficial? We hope we can use the theatre as a catalyst for that."
The theatre reopened officially this week, but has been hosting performances since November. It closed for what was intended to be a year-long renovation in 2015, however the reopening was pushed back by two years and questions were raised over whether the venue would return to performance use at all.
As part of the works, the 541-seat auditorium and stage have been upgraded, and the university said it hoped to attract a mix of "new and experimental theatre, research-driven content and high-profile and household names" to its professional programme.

Az Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez a mexikói Ciudad Juárez legjelentősebb labdarúgó-stadionja, az FC Juárez csapat otthona.

Története
A stadiont (amely a város első nagyszabású sportlétesítménye volt) Mexikó kormányának támogatásával az állam kormányzata építtette az 1980-as évek elején. Felavatására 1981. május 12-én került sor egy olyan barátságos mérkőzésen, ahol a mexikói válogatott a spanyol Atlético Madridot fogadta. (Az eredmény egyébként gól nélküli döntetlen lett.)

1986-ban az állam a stadiont a Ciudad Juárez-i Autonóm Egyetem kezelésébe adta. Itt játszotta hazai mérkőzéseit az Indios de Ciudad Juárez, később az új klub, az FC Juárez is. Amikor 2019-ben kiderült, hogy az FC Juárez az első osztályban folytatja szereplését, bejelentették, hogy a 22 000 fős lelátót 28 000-esre bővítik.

Nem csak sporteseményeknek, hanem például koncerteknek is otthont ad a stadion. 2009-ben Sarah Brightman koncertjén mintegy 35 000-en zsúfolódtak be az épületbe.

Leírás
A stadion a Chiahuahua államban található Ciudad Juárez északi részén, az El Chamizal nevű városrészben található, közvetlenül az amerikai határ mellett: az El Pasóval határt alkotó Río Bravo folyó mintegy 100 méterre húzódik a stadiontól.

Egy 38 000 m²-es területen épült fel, benne a labdarúgópálya körül egy atlétikai pálya is található, valamint két edzőtermet is létesítettek. A lelátó 22 000 fő befogadóképességű, az épület mellett pedig egy 1500 járműnek helyet biztosító parkoló terül el.

How Britain's Special Relationship with America Became Lopsided
By Linda S Heard
http://www.intrepidreport.com/archives/27594
UK's usefulness will diminish once its role as a conduit between the US and EU ends
With two dyed-in-the-wool Tory Brexiteers vying to replace Theresa May as prime minister, Britain's withdrawal from the European Union now looks inevitable. The hopes of Britons who resented their country being under Brussels' sway will come to fruition. Freedom from foreign constraints is on the horizon. "Britons never, never, never shall be slaves," go the stirring words of the patriotic song Rule Britannia children of my generation sang in school.
That's the plan. However, the reality could be anything but. While it is the case that the UK and the US have been tied-at-the-hip allies since the mid-20th century when the term "Special Relationship" was coined by Sir Winston Churchill to portray the close military, diplomatic and cultural relations between the two powerful democracies, that relationship has become hopelessly lopsided.
The fact is that London is reliant on Washington in terms of defence capabilities, intelligence sharing, international diplomacy and economic cooperation. The days when Britons ruled the waves are long gone. Budget cuts have halved the Royal Navy's fleet of ships and submarines since 1990.
A House of Commons Defence Committee Report titled Indispensable allies: US, Nato and UK Defence Relations suggests that Britain is "over-reliant on the US as a military partner" and "the degree of over-reliance could be measured by the UK's ability to act independently in pursuit of its own national interest, without US support".
That ability has been called into question over recent decades. Tony Blair who was arguably one of the most successful 21st century incumbents of Number 10 chose to appease President George W. Bush in his rush for war with Iraq, disregarding the millions who took to the streets in opposition, and was forever branded "Bush's poodle".
President Obama was certainly no anglophile. According to Harriet Agerholm writing in The Independent, Obama officials regarded the Special Relationship as a joke. An adviser to the Obama administration's State Department said the UK-US relationship was never really important to the United States, adding, "It was the kind of relationship we would have with other countries".
Britain's usefulness to the US is declining and will diminish further once its role as a conduit between Washington and Brussels comes to an end. Today, the White House calls the shots and President Trump makes no bones about that.
With her eye firmly fixed on a coveted, or rather desperately needed, US-UK trade deal now that Britain is poised to leave the EU's single market and customs union, Prime Minister Theresa May felt obliged to court President Trump at every turn even as he criticised her handling of negotiations with the EU and openly tapped his buddy Boris Johnson as her successor. Nevertheless, Trump was rewarded for his blatant interference in Britain's domestic affairs with a glittering state visit replete with pomp and ceremony.
The latest diplomatic debacle over the content of leaked top secret diplomatic dispatches sent to select members of the British government by Sir Kim Darroch, Britain's ambassador to Washington, that included unflattering references to President Trump's character, has exposed the extent to which the UK is glued under America's heel.
"The wacky Ambassador that the UK foisted upon the United States is not someone we are thrilled with, a very stupid guy. He should speak to his country, and Prime Minister May, about that failed Brexit negotiation, and not be upset with my criticism of how badly it was handed, Trump tweeted. "I told Theresa May how to do that deal, but she went her own foolish way-was unable to get it done. A disaster!" he wrote in a follow-up.
Ambassador Darroch was uninvited to a dinner and ignored. To her credit, May supported him as did cabinet members and parliamentary lawmakers. Yet, he resigned following a televised debate between Boris Johnson and his contender for the top job Jeremy Hunt when Johnson threw him under a bus for which he came under fire, accused of being Trump's lackey.
Conversely, Hunt characterised Trump's volley as "disrespectful and wrong to our prime minister and my country" while vowing to retain Darroch in his post until the end of his tenure. However, his chances of securing sufficient votes from the Conservative membership believed to favour his larger-than-life, slightly eccentric rival look dim.
Britain's sleepwalk into global irrelevance could be further exacerbated if Scotland succeeds in securing a second referendum on Scottish independence, demanded by the SNP on the grounds that Scotland overwhelmingly voted to remain in the EU. Wales that did vote to leave is now clamouring for independence as well. A new poll shows that 47 per cent of the Welsh are open to that idea-and that's before they start to feel the economic pain, temporary or otherwise, which Brexit portends.
Surely common sense dictates better the Europeans we know than the unknowable US president who changes his mind on a dime. Then again, in this era of populism and nationalism, there is little common about sense.
