Measuring Poverty 2019
|In Publications
|By Social Metrics Commission
Since its 2018 report, the Commission has continued to build support for its approach to poverty
measurement. It was pleased to welcome the Government's announcement that the Department
for Work and Pensions would be developing experimental statistics based on the Commission's
measurement approach.
This report uses the most recent data available to provide a comprehensive account of poverty
based on the Commission's measurement framework. It provides both a detailed overview of the
extent and nature of poverty in the UK today and original analysis that shows how this has changed
since the first year where the data for the Commission's measurement framework is available
(2000/01).

Anne Longfield, the Children's Commissioner for England commented:
"It is alarming and unacceptable that the poverty rate for children is rising and that over half of all children in poverty are living in persistent poverty. Growing up in poverty impacts not only on the day-to-day lives of children, but seriously hampers their chances of doing well at school and their job prospects and health in adulthood.
"Tackling and eliminating child poverty should be an ambition and priority for all governments. The upcoming Spending Review is the chance for the new Prime Minister to show that turning around the lives of these children matters to his Government. It will not be cheap and it will require strong leadership across government departments, capital investment in institutions that can help our most vulnerable children and targeted long term investment in family and child support. The Government can also have an immediate impact looking again at the impact of Universal Credit on those families who are already struggling.
"We know that reducing child poverty can be done, because it has been achieved before. It is time to make it a priority again."

MR. JAMES PICKER Another Pioneer Passes
Mr. James Picker, of "Farm Cove" Station, Bigga, died suddenly at noon on Friday, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Edgar Marks.
The deceased, who had been in indifferent health for lhe past couple of months, was receiving medical attention from Dr. Alagna, of Bigga. The end, however, came rather unexpectedly.
The late Mr. Picker, who had reached the 68th milestone, was born at Markdale, and when quite young came with his parents and other members of the family to Bigga where his father, the late William Picker, selected land which, like practically all the other land around Bigga at that period, was thickly timbered and entailed laborious work in fencing, ring-barking, etc., in order to improve the holding.
The deceased and his elder brothers gave of their best; working ungrudgingly to help their father. Their hearty co-operation was a valuable asset in building up the home.
Eventually, and when quite a young man, the late Mr. Picker selected land for himself. He worked early and late in improving his selection, though his income was small he managed to carry on. He possessed that building spirit which was character- istic of many of our early settlers. Ultimately his perseverance, energy, and thrift gained for him unqualified success. Several properties were acquired by him and improved in such a thorough manner that he was looked upon as one of the most successful landowners in the Bigga district and his properties rated amongst the best.
They late Mr. Picker was extremely kind-hearted and considerate, showing consideration for those less fortunate than himself by creating employment on his properties.
Jim Picker, as he was familiary known, set a fine example. He gave out work at a living wage throughout the past three years and no honest toiler was turned down. He believed in the biblical term,, "Do unto others as you wish to be done unto you." This was his motto right throughout his life.
The deceased was truly a big-hearted Australian. Though of a retiring disposition: he was an exemplary citizen and neighbour. Sympathetic in sickness, honest, and his word was his bond. All these attributes gained for him countless friends who will deplore the passing of such an excellent citizen.
The late Mr. Picker took a keen interest in sport during his younger days and was a good pigeon shot, being one of the early members of the old Bigga Pigeon Club. He was also a prominent member of the old Rifle Club and an expert rifle shot. He also took an interest in cricket.
The deceased married Miss Ruth Webster, of Binda, who predeceased him 24 years ago.
His surviving brothers are Thomas, John, William, Fred, George Reuben and Richard (Bigga), Benjamin and Sidney (Sydney). The members of his family are Mervyn and William (W.G.), sons, and Mrs. Selby Blackmail and Mrs. Edgar Marks, daughters.
The burial, which took place at the Bigga cemetery on Sunday afternoon last, was largely attended, representatives attending from Crookwell, Markdale, Binda, Grabine, and several other centres.
Prior to the interment the Rev. Hugh Morton conducted a service in All Saints' Church of England, delivering a feeling address.
The floral tributes, which were many, showed a tribute of respect from the following:
May, Edgar and family; Bill, Stella and Max; Amy, Selby and family; Mervyn, Evelyn and. Myra; John and Sarah; Ben and family; Bill and Chris.; Reuh, Lizzie and Hedley; Fred and Addie; Dick and Laura; George, Corrie and family; Charlie, Lil and Colin; Annie, Aub and Lloyd; Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hailstone and Mrs. Hailstone; Harold and Hazel; Allan, Ivy and family; Una and. Bill; all at "Pine Gully"; Perce, Ida and family; Fred, Timie and family; Stan, and Thelma; Gordon and Sarah; Harry, Annie and family; Selby and Elsie; Mr. and Mrs. J. Hudd and Violet; Harold and Hilda; Alex and Eva Large; Elsie and family; Les and Nellie Newliam; Emily and Hil ton; Bill and Phyllis; Vic. Margaret and Horace; Ollie, Vera and Colin; Mr.; and Mrs. T. W. Joliiffe and fam ily; Willie, Melila and family; Mrs. Pagett, Bill and Eva; Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hearn; Mr. and Mrs. Hector McDonald. Crookwell Gazette, 23 May 1934, page 3

Abstract: We study the privately and socially optimal participation of investors in a centralized platform or in an over-the-counter (OTC) market. Investors incur costs to trade in the platform, in the OTC market, or in both at the same time. Investors differ from each other in risk-sharing needs and OTC market trading capacities. We show that investors with low risk-sharing needs and large trading capacities endogenously emerge as OTC intermediaries, and have the strongest private incentives to enter the OTC market vs. the trading platform. Investors with strong risk-sharing needs and low trading capacities endogenously emerge as OTC customers, and have the weakest private incentive to enter the OTC market vs. the trading platform. Turning to social welfare, we provide two necessary conditions for customers' private incentives to be excessively large relative to their social contribution. Mandating or subsidizing trade in a centralized venue can be welfare improving only if these conditions are satisfied. First, investors must differ mostly in terms of OTC trading capacities. Second, participation costs must induce exclusive participation decisions. Based on the empirical trading patterns generated by closed-form examples of our model, we argue that the real-world OTC markets might satisfy the conditions under which mandating or subsidizing centralized trade is welfare improving.

Father takes daughter's bullying victim on a shopping trip to teach her a lesson
Sarah Biren
Posted:&nbspMarch 1, 2022
Every parent would be upset when they discover their child is being bullied at school, but how do parents react when they learn that their kids, in fact, are the bullies? Bullying is a problem that affects millions of students of all races and socioeconomic classes, and despite governmental and activist efforts to curb this vice, it remains rampant in today's society. Thousands of teen suicides across the world have been attributed to several forms of bullying including in-person harassment, taunting, and social media trolling. [1]
A South Carolina dad went viral in 2019 for his actions upon finding out his daughter was a bully. Randy Smalls is a father of three, including teenager Re'Onna, and he wasn't about to let his daughter go scot-free without learning an important lesson. Re'Onna had rudely mocked the clothes of another girl, Ryan Reese, and her father was distraught at her behavior.
"I say, 'When you laugh along, you're co-signing the bullying," the father told Yahoo Lifestyle. Randy had been bullied as a youngster and he knew exactly what Ryan was going through. In a bid to boost her self-esteem, Randy asked Ryan's mother if he could take the girl shopping and the woman consented.

Interestingly, the money for Ryan's shopping spree had been intended for Re'Onna, whose father says is a lover of fashion. However, she was forced to join the outing to help Ryan pick out new clothes.
"We got her hair done and we'll be paying for twice-a-month appointments until the end of the year," he said.

Ryan was already depressed from grief
According to Ryan's mother, Richauna, the poor girl was trying to cope with a series of recent losses in her life before the bullying episode. She'd lost her father, her aunt, her grandfather, and was dealing with non-epileptic seizures due to intense stress. The girl was suffering, and the bullying only worsened her condition.
However, RIchauna is thankful for Randy's incredible approach to resolving the issue.
"This is the first time I have seen a parent take such a stance on bullying," While she's sorry that Re'Onna, Randy's daughter has to go through it, she's glad the girl is learning a great lesson.
Randy has become a sort of father figure to Ryan whose father passed away, and now she has someone kind to look out for her.

"I wasn't expecting it. I just started to cry. It (the bullying) was really sad for me because I had lost my grandpa, father, and aunt, and it really took me deep down in my depression," Ryan explained.
Re'Onna also came to terms with her wrongdoings and apologized after a few days. Her father had done what only a caring parent would do and his actions laid a solid foundation for her future.
"After it all happened, I'm glad that we did this because she needed that help," Re'Onna said.

More parents can learn from Randy
Parents are often too concerned watching out for signs of victimization to pay any attention to the root of the problem: your child could be the oppressor. If there were no oppressors, there'd be no victims. Signs of bullying may start to show at an early age, such as biting in kindergarten and poking other kids. At older ages, it's often shown by aggressive tendencies and bad tempers, often culminating in gang beatings, body-shaming, and falsely accusing other kids. Bullying is NOT a phase that will blow away as a child gets older. It can only get worse. A lot of these children are dealing with self-esteem issues and take it out on other kids to feel powerful.
It's not merely up to the school alone to discipline children. Parents have to monitor their child's behavior and utterances closely, checking for signs of aggression or self-hatred. It's helpful to communicate with a child from a young age, listen to them talk, and offer gentle advice. Offer kind words to boost their self-image and teach them empathy and compassion.
Also, a solid foundation of trust between a parent and a child makes it easier for them to open up about being bullied. If your child reports this to you, take appropriate actions by contacting the school, the bully's parents, or even the police.
Bullying should never be allowed to "blow over."
Parents can learn a lot from Randy's wise actions and he's certain that Re'Onna would never attempt to bully another kid again.
"As parents, we have to take responsibility for what our children do. We can teach our children, but when they go and are around other children they can veer off a little bit. When situations like this happen, we have to take action and be the parent and not the friend."

Eminem surprises with new album, Mac Miller's Circles is out, Grammy loses chief
Eminem comes back out of nowhere
Last night at midnight Eminem made his comeback with a new album and a video for a new single.
"Music to Be Murdered By" is the name of Eminem's new album, it's a surprise follow up to his 2018's Kamikaze, an album that did not land well and seemed more like attention-seeking than an artistic project.
In addition to the album, he shared a video for the track "Darkness", an anti-gun violence ballad that starts with a talk about loneliness and finishes with a Las Vegas shooting scenario. Besides using that event as an example, in the end, Eminem includes a few more clips of other shootings ending the video with "When will this end? When enough people care. Register to vote at Vote.gov. Make your voice heard and help change gun law in America."
This rather lengthy album features many guests such as Ed Sheeran, Black Thought, Q-Tip, Royce Da 5'9″, Anderson.Paak, Young M.A. as well as posthumous appearance by Juice WRLD.
As Rolling Stone writes, Eminem's inspiration for the album came from non-other than Albert Hitchcock and his 1958's album Music to Be Murdered By. A clip from that album is included on the album interlude "Albert".
Mac Miller posthumous album "Circles" is available for streaming
Circles, a posthumous release from Mac Miller is now available for streaming on Apple Music and Spotify.
A week after the release of a video for "Good News", the first posthumous single, comes the whole project. It comes as a follow-up to 2018's Swimming released a month prior to Mac's untimely death. As Consequence of Sound writes, Miller was already in the process of recording Circles before he passed. Miller's family posted that news to his social media accounts adding that these albums are "Two different styles complementing each other, completing a circle — Swimming in Circles was the concept."
Jon Brion, producer of Swimming is to be credited for the completion of this record. Brion was already working with Miller on Circles, but after Miller's passing he stepped up his role.
Mac Miller's well-deserved reputation was confirmed after his death by many posthumous features and an all-star tribute concert "Mac Miller: A Celebration of Life" featuring Earl Sweatshirt, Vince Staples, SZA, Chance the Rapper and more.
Grammy loses CEO days before Awards Show
Deborah Dugan, new Recording Academy CEO has been put on 'administrative leave' just 10 days before the Grammy Awards ceremony.
Dugan has been put on administrative leave effective immediately, Recording Academy spokesperson confirmed to Rolling Stone.
"In light of concerns raised to the Recording Academy™ Board of Trustees, including a formal allegation of misconduct by a senior female member of the Recording Academy team, the Board has placed Recording Academy President and CEO Deborah Dugan on administrative leave, effective immediately," the organization told Rolling Stone in a statement. "The Board has also retained two independent third-party investigators to conduct independent investigations of the allegations.
"The Board determined this action to be necessary in order to restore the confidence of the Recording Academy's Membership, repair Recording Academy employee morale, and allow the Recording Academy to focus on its mission of serving all music creators," the statement continued. "Board Chair Harvey Mason Jr. will serve as interim President and CEO pending the conclusion of the investigation. The Recording Academy Board of Trustees is committed to fostering a safe, diverse, and inclusive workplace, music industry, and society".
Dugan inherited her position from Neil Portnow, who was head of the organization for 17 years. Portnow was removed for his comments on gender diversity in the music industry, saying that women should step up if they want to be better represented in the music industry.

Concept 21 RNA is an intermediary between DNA and protein.
Paul Zamecnik developed a cell-free extract that he and Mahlon Hoagland used to study protein synthesis. They identified tRNA as the adaptor predicted by Francis Crick in his Central Dogma. Sydney Brenner showed that mRNA was the unstable intermediate that carried the message from DNA to the ribosomes.
Paul Charles Zamecnik (1913-2009)
Sydney Brenner (1927- )
Mahlon Hoagland (1921- 2009)
Mahlon Hoagland was born in Boston. His father was a research scientist with an interest in neurobiology. His dedication and passion for his work both drew and repelled the younger Hoagland, who learned first-hand what it was like to be a scientist. Hoagland knew fairly early on that he wanted a profession but wasn't sure that he wanted to be a scientist.
Hoagland decided he would be a medical doctor so as not to be in direct competition with his father. He went to college, first Williams College and then transferred to Harvard after a year. World War II had just started and with the need for medical doctors, Hoagland entered medical school even before graduating from college. He found he had the aptitude for being a surgeon ? he was manually adept and anatomy was one of his favorite classes. Unfortunately, three months before graduation, Hoagland was diagnosed with tuberculosis. He was sent to the Trudeau Sanatorium at Saranac Lake ? the same one where Phoebus Levene stayed ? for the classic bed rest cure. Treatment of tuberculosis with antibiotics wasn't available until near the end of his stay and by that time, Hoagland was deemed healthy enough.
In 1947, Hoagland returned to Harvard Medical School to finish his interrupted year. He still wanted to become a surgeon and applied to work as a surgical intern after graduation in 1948. It was soon obvious that he needed a less taxing career; after only weeks, Hoagland reactivated his tuberculosis. Disappointed, Hoagland applied for a postdoctoral position with Dr. Joseph Aub, the director of the Huntington Laboratories at Massachusetts General Hospital.
At Huntington, Hoagland learned to be a scientist. He worked on the effects of beryllium on enzymatic activity and in the process became more interested in biochemistry and the protein synthesis work going on in Paul Zamecnik's lab. Hoagland arranged sabbaticals to learn more about biochemistry with the goal of working in Zamecnik's lab on his return.
In 1953, Hoagland started work in Zamecnik's lab on the problem of amino acid activation. Using Zamecnik's cell-free system, Hoagland worked out the mechanics and published his results in 1955. He then began working on a project that Zamecnik had put on hold. This led to the discovery of tRNA, the adaptor (predicted by Francis Crick) that shuttles amino acids to messenger RNA. The results were published in 1957 and served to connect two fields of science research, biochemistry and molecular biology.
Hoagland spent 1958 at Cambridge University and worked with Francis Crick to try and use tRNA to solve the genetic code. He returned to the U.S. as associate professor of microbiology at Harvard Medical School. In his seven years at Harvard, Hoagland found great satisfaction in teaching and was distressed at the lack of "teachers" among the scientists who were only interested in research. He left Harvard to accept a position at Dartmouth Medical School where he improved the biochemistry curriculum.
In 1970, Hoagland accepted the directorship of the Worcester Foundation, the institute founded by his father. Hoagland was able to attract new researchers and established and strengthened research programs in cell biology, endocrinology, neurobiology, and reproductive biology at Worcester. In 1980, he was successful in recruiting Paul Zamecnik.
After Hoagland retired, he maintained a strong interest in education and teaching. Over the years, he wrote a number of "non-scholarly" books on the subject of genes and molecular biology. The Way Life Works was re-edited as a successful textbook for high school biology classes and the interested public. Hoagland had a life-long hobby of creating art by carving and sculpting wood.
Mahlon Hoagland's father was a research scientist, and founded the Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology, the institution where, among other things, the birth control pill was developed.
Hoagland and Zamecnik were identifying the molecules and the energy requirements of protein synthesis reactions. Would it have been easier if they had known about Francis Crick's adapter hypothesis?
DNA and proteins are key molecules of the cell nucleus.
One gene makes one protein.
A gene is made of DNA.
Bacteria and viruses have DNA too.
The DNA molecule is shaped like a twisted ladder.
A half DNA ladder is a template for copying the whole.
RNA is an intermediary between DNA and protein.
DNA words are three letters long.
A gene is a discrete sequence of DNA nucleotides.
The RNA message is sometimes edited.
Some viruses store genetic information in RNA.
RNA was the first genetic molecule.
Mutations are changes in genetic information.
Some types of mutations are automatically repaired.

Print, 100 Watt Soft White Bulbs
This is a Print. It was graphic design by Paul Rand and made for (as the client) Micarta. It is dated ca. 1968 and we acquired it in 2002. Its medium is offset lithograph on white cardboard. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
Paul Rand was a leading twentieth-century modernist graphic designer whose six-decade career left a lasting impact on graphic design, branding, and commercial art. Though sometimes whimsical, Rand's ultimate focus was clarity in design. After revamping IBM's logo and corporate identity in the 1950s, he was asked to do the same for Westinghouse Electric Company. His first task was to redesign the company's visually outdated turn-of-the-century logo; his 1960 "W" trade mark, seen right center of this flat packaging, is still in use today. Aware of the importance of brand recognition, he retained the circle and underscore from earlier iterations, preferring to revamp rather than completely redesign a logo. Rand's version is suggestive of a circuit board, connecting the logo's form to the company's purpose. A year later he developed the Westinghouse Gothic typeface to be used on signs, packaging, advertising, and other corporate ephemera. In 1968, upon the success of his logo and other design consultancy work for Westinghouse, Rand redesigned the Lamp Division's packaging. He eliminated unnecessary graphics, using a light bulb to make the package's contents apparent, and enlarged the type size that relayed the bulb wattage and hours, previously nearly illegible.

Do you believe in voodoo? If you do, are you able to do it yourself? If you can, we have a million dollar idea for you. You can have it, free of charge, we just want our dream to become a reality! Our idea is this: A massage therapist, but instead of actually touching the client, you just work on the doll!
This idea is brilliant for a couple of reasons. This is the perfect kind of massage for people that don't actually like being touched because you'll never touch them, only the doll! Also, your fingers will never get tired, because you'll just be massaging a doll instead of a person. This idea sounds too good to be true right? We assure you, it's not! A business like this could also help break the scary stigma around voodoo too.
This costume comes with everything you'll need to turn into a human voodoo doll! This costume is made of burlap, but has a tricot interior lining for increased comfort! You'll have big sewn on buttons for eyes, and a heart stitched on your chest. You'll also find decorative stitching along the arm and on the mask. This costume comes with a large full head mask, which is stuffed to help it hold its shape. When you put on this costume, you will become one full sized, frightening voodoo doll!
We know our voodoo massage therapist idea isn't perfect, but we still think it would sell! All the same, if you don't want to try it, we understand. However, we do think you should try to do something productive with your voodoo talent! Maybe you could become a voodoo surgeon or something. Whatever you find for your voodoo business endeavors, we wish you the best of luck!

Rørbysværdene er to krumsværd fra bronzealderen, der blev fundet ved Rørby nær Kalundborg. De er efter deres ornamentik dateret til ældre bronzealder, nærmere bestemt ca. 1600–1500 f.Kr. Det første sværd blev fundet i 1952 og det andet i 1957, 10 meter fra det første. Det andet sværd havde samme udsmykning som det første, men også et skib på bladets side. Da skibet er støbt sammen med resten af udsmykningen, kan sværdet, skibsbilledet og lignende skibsbilleder i helleristninger dateres til samme tid.

Afghan Matters Have "Implications For Region": India At Security Dialogue
HomeAll IndiaAfghan Matters Have "Implications For Region": India At Security Dialogue
Ajit Doval in his opening remarks said it is time to have close consultations, greater cooperation and coordination among the regional countries on the Afghan situation.
All IndiaPress Trust of IndiaUpdated: November 10, 2021 11:51 am IST
NSA Ajit Doval hoped that the deliberations on Afghan situation will be productive.
The recent developments in Afghanistan have important implications not only for the people of that country but also for its neighbours and the region, National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval said on Wednesday at an eight-nation dialogue hosted by India on the Afghan crisis.
Chairing the meet, Mr Doval in his opening remarks said it is time to have close consultations, greater cooperation and coordination among the regional countries on the Afghan situation.
The Delhi Regional Security Dialogue on Afghanistan is being attended by security czars of Russia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
India is hosting the dialogue to firm up a common approach for practical cooperation in confronting increasing threats of terrorism, radicalisation and drug trafficking following the Taliban's takeover of Kabul.
"We are meeting today to discuss matters relating to Afghanistan. We all have been keenly watching the developments in that country," Mr Doval said.
"These have important implications not only for the people of Afghanistan but also for its neighbours and the region," he said.
The NSA hoped that the deliberations will be productive.
"This is a time for close consultations amongst us," he said.
"I am confident that our deliberations will be productive, useful and will contribute to help the people in Afghanistan and enhance our collective security," he added.

Peru's golden boy
The films and TV shows wowing viewers from Lima to Tel Aviv, including the childhood of a football icon
Feb 23rd 2017
Hope strikes eternal
"Guerrero" (Warrior) traces the early life of Paolo Guerrero Gonzales, captain of Peru's national football team. He's its all-time top scorer and the only Peruvian ever nominated for FIFA's coveted Ballon d'Or award. The film's young star (above) was selected via reality TV from more than 5,000 hopefuls. In a country mad about the beautiful game, "Guerrero" has been a sure-fire hit. But Peru has not played in a World Cup since 1982 and its chance at Russia 2018 appears to be slipping away. At least the runaway success of the film, produced by Tondero, a local company, points to a rosier future for Peruvian cinema.
Historical take two
How old is Kazakhstan? In 2014 Vladimir Putin, fresh from annexing Crimea, outraged Kazakhs by dismissing their history as dating only from the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now they have retaliated with a historical epic showcasing Kazakhstan's illustrious past. Rustem Abdrashev's "Almas Kylysh" (The Diamond Sword) is wowing cinema-goers with the tale of swashbuckling heroes Zhanibek and Kerey vanquishing foes to found the Kazakh Khanate. Romanticised and historically dubious? Perhaps. But Kazakhstan, under Russia's yoke for nearly 300 years, celebrates this story as the genesis of its statehood. The Khanate was founded in 1465, so Kazakhstan turns not 26 this year, but 552.
Take a long hard look
In the run-up to the most divisive election in years, the documentary "Wit is ook een kleur" (White is also a colour) by Sunny Bergman has been sparking difficult conversations in the Netherlands. It asks why highly educated, supposedly liberal white people often respond so defensively to questions of racism and privilege. But as well as prompting many white families to broach the subject of race, Bergman has been the target of ugly nationalist rants flooding social media. A clearer picture of the polarised state of the nation would be hard to find.
The power of pop
Across the 187 inhabited islands of the Maldives, Twitter parties have resumed for the smallest edition of the global Pop Idol franchise. "Maldivian Idol" first swept the atolls last year, temporarily uniting a 400,000-strong Islamic nation riven by years of political feuding. Politicians still tried to get in on the action – the winner received congratulations from all the ailing democracy's recent presidents, even those in exile overseas. With the repeatedly delayed local elections now scheduled a few weeks from the grand finale on April 30th, politics and pop idols will cross paths again.
"In Between" is a film about three ordinary women living in Tel Aviv, Israel's coastal liberal hub with more than its fair share of sex, drugs and parties. But the women are young Arab Israelis from the Muslim-majority cities of Nazareth and Umm al-Fahm. Alienated from their more conservative hometowns, they never fully belong in the overwhelmingly Jewish metropolis either (the film's Hebrew title translates as "Neither Here Nor There"). It has won awards from Toronto to Haifa and Arab Israelis have flocked to screenings, praising its portrayal of their complex realities. But Umm al-Fahm's city council has called for it to be boycotted for "insulting Islam".
After years of disappointment, Bulgaria has been bathing in the glory of its first Oscar nomination. Strictly speaking, the eight-minute animated short, "Blind Vaysha" (above), is a Canadian production, but it is the creation of Bulgarian animator Teodor Ushev, adapted from a short story by another prominent Bulgarian, poet and playwright Georgi Gospodinov, and scored by their compatriot Kottarashky. Little Vaysha is blind because her left eye can see only the past, while her right sees only the future. Her plight has unsettled audiences who see in it their country's own dilemma: a proud EU member haunted by its communist past, a nation of emigrants hostile to refugees, dreaming of prosperity but fearful of the future.
Grappling with stereotypes
The new highest-grossing film in the history of Bollywood is not what you expect. Based on a true story, "Dangal" (a wrestling bout) follows two sisters in rural India whose father, not blessed with sons, decides to train them to become world-champion wrestlers. Few things get Indian audiences' hearts racing like a good sports film, but "Dangal" also comes at a time when Indian sportswomen have far outshone their male counterparts, bringing home both Indian medals from last year's Olympics, including one in wrestling. "Girls saved our faces" was the common refrain after the country's otherwise dismal performance. In the closing minutes of the film, as the older sister triumphs against all odds, the national anthem has brought audiences across India to their feet in spontaneous mass standing ovations.■

Liu, William Joseph (1893–1983)
by Barry McGowan
William Liu, n.d.
State Library of New South Wales
William Joseph Lumb Liu (1893-1983), businessman and Chinese community leader, was born on 29 January 1893 in Sydney, eldest of three children of Chinese-born William Ah Lum (later Lumb Liu), barber, and his English-born wife Florence, née Thomas. When his mother became ill, William was sent initially to friends at Glen Innes and then, in 1900, to his father's village in Taishan county, Guangdong province, China, where he lived for eight years. On his return to Sydney he continued his schooling at Christ Church St Laurence School, Wahroonga College and Stott & Hoare's Business College. Later, in Melbourne, he attended evening classes at the Working Men's College and with the Young Men's Christian Association.
From 1912 to 1914 Liu was an English translator and clerk at the Chinese consulate in Melbourne. There he met William Ah Ket, who was acting consul-general (1913-14), and Fred Quinlan, at that time second-in-charge in the Commonwealth Department of External Affairs; Liu was strongly influenced by both men. He then joined the Sydney fruit and vegetable merchants, Wing Sang & Co., with whom he was associated for three decades. On 12 February 1916 at St Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney, he married with Anglican rites Mabel Ting Quoy.
Liu, with William Gockson and Peter Yee Wing, helped to form the China–Australia Mail Steamship Line in 1917. He was appointed general manager and two ships, Gabo and Victoria, were purchased and registered in his name. The Australian government soon requisitioned both ships for war service. By the time the ships were returned in October 1919, the company faced intense competition from British vessels re-entering the route.
In 1920 another ship, Hwah Ping, was chartered, but heavy losses continued, and the company became embroiled in a price war. A bitter management dispute arose. Rival factions were split between conservative businessmen associated with the New South Wales Chinese Chamber of Commerce and those linked with the Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) and the Chinese Masonic Society. Although Liu straddled both camps, he and his father-in-law, Gilbert Yet Ting Quoy, were attacked by Percy Lee (Li Xiangbo) in the republican newspaper, Chinese Republic News. Underlying much of the antagonism was the implication that Liu had subordinated his native-place allegiances (See Yap) to family when he married into the Quoy family (Doong Goong). Yee Wing, a Kuomintang leader, replaced Liu as general manager in 1921; in response the conservatives withheld financial support from the company, which collapsed in 1924.
In the interwar years Liu travelled between China and Australia. As English secretary of the Kuomintang in Sydney, he was invited in 1921 to meet the Chinese leader, Dr Sun Yat-Sen, in Canton (Guangzhou). Vice-president (1927-33) of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in New South Wales, he successfully lobbied the Australian government to again appoint an Australian trade commissioner to Shanghai in 1935. He published a booklet, Communication between Mr V.G. Bowden, Australian Trade Commissioner in Shanghai and William Liu, Chinese Businessman in Sydney about Sino-Australian Trade (1936). An adviser to the four Australian department store chains (Sun Sun, Sincere, Sun and Wing On) that operated in Hong Kong, Canton and Shanghai, in the mid-1930s Liu was employed as the Sun company's English secretary.
Back in Australia, Liu joined his brother-in-law Harry Fay in his Inverell department store, Hong Yuen & Co., in 1936 and rejoined the Wing Sang company in Sydney in 1939. That year he co-founded the Chinese Australian Association of Hong Kong. From the 1940s Liu helped businesses engaged in the wholesale marketing of fruit and vegetables, Chinese market gardeners and new Chinese restaurants established in Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart after World War II.
A strong opponent of Japanese imperialism, in 1931 Liu had compiled China and the Trouble in Manchuria, condemning the Tanaka memorandum. Living in Shanghai when the Japanese invaded in 1932, he worked as a propagandist for China's 19th Route Army. John Sleeman's book, White China: An Austral-Asian Sensation (1933), included a section based on conversations with him. In 1932, with Sir Colin MacKenzie, Fred Quinlan and William Ah Ket, Liu had co-founded the George Ernest Morrison lecture in ethnology. He was also friendly with William Henry Donald.
During World War II Liu was a leading fund-raiser in the Chinese community for the Australian government's war loans. The war also spurred his immigration advocacy on behalf of prospective Chinese settlers in Australia. He was a founding member of the New South Wales branch of the Australia-China (Friendship) Society; this was a significant political step following the Communist Party's accession to government in mainland China. From the mid-1950s he campaigned for a review of the Australian government's immigration policy and redress of institutional discrimination, embodied in the annual citizenship conventions, towards Aboriginal, Chinese and non-European people. By 1966 he had successfully lobbied the government to reduce the qualifying period from fifteen to five years for Chinese immigrants wishing to become naturalised.
In 1973 Liu was appointed a member of an Australian-Chinese committee making submissions to the National Population Inquiry. One result was the establishment of the Australian Chinese Community Association of New South Wales. The minister for immigration, Al Grassby, introduced more equitable procedures for obtaining Australian citizenship. In 1976 the Australia–China Chamber of Commerce and Industry of New South Wales was established; Liu was its first governor. He was appointed OBE in December 1981.
Known in his later years as Uncle Billy, Liu was regarded by many as the 'elder statesman' and 'father' of the Chinese community in Australia. Survived by his wife and their son and daughter, he died on 25 April 1983 at Randwick and was cremated. His name is perpetuated in a prize for Chinese studies at the University of New South Wales, in the William J. Liu memorial scrolls project and in the Harvest of Endurance scroll.

Воронеж был создан в 1585 году как деревянная крепость, которая располагалась за современной Университетской площадью в районе улицы Шевченко. Высота крепостных стен была 6 м, а высота башен — 20 м.

В XVI-XVII веках застройка города происходила хаотично. Город развивался в сторону горного плато вдоль реки по прибрежным склонам. Подробное описание Воронежа приводится в дозорной книге 1615 года. Воронеж в то время представлял собой рубленный город и острог, который располагался рядом с ним. За исключением слободы Успенского монастыря городские слободы находились в остроге и за его территорией. Последние образовывали посад.

В 1674 году была построена церковь Акатова монастыря, которая стала первым каменным зданием города, её колокольня сохранилась к настоящему времени, и является наиболее древним архитектурным памятником Воронежа. Первый дом в Воронеже был построен из камня в 1676 году. Тем не менее в середине XVII века большинство городских зданий было построено из дерева. После создания в 1682 году Воронежско-Борисоглебской епархии, центром которой стал Воронеж, в городе начинают более активно строить каменные церкви, а деревянные перестраивать. Так в 1684 году началось строительство каменного пятиглавого Благовещенского собора взамен деревянного.

С 1696 года Воронеж превратился в центр кораблестроения для Азовского флота. Работы в основном велись на правом берегу реки Воронеж (ныне это соответствует территории находящейся между улицами Чернышевского и Большой стрелецкой) и на острове, на котором были построены цейхауз и дом Петра I. Здания, построенные для иностранных специалистов, располагались в так называемой немецкой слободе. Среди них были дома построенные в европейском стиле и две лютеранские кирхи. В 1700 году по приказу царя Успенский мужской монастырь был переведен на новое место и объединён с Акатовым монастырём. В это же время Успенская церковь была превращена в Адмиралтейскую. За 15 лет кораблестроения планировка Воронежа изменилась. В ней можно было выделить район старого города, район вокруг кораблестроения и территорию Акатового монастыря. Центр города переместился к месту нахождения Воронежского Адмиралтейского приказа, рядом с которым в 1700 году в Воронеже были установлены большие железные часы с пятью боевыми колоколами. Это были одни из первых общественных часов в России, установка которых в то время в городе означало повышение его статуса. 10 мая 1748 года Воронеж очень сильно пострадал от пожара. Сгорели почти все постройки на берегу реки. После этой трагедии центр Воронежа опять стал располагаться в том месте, где сейчас находится современная Университетская площадь.

16 февраля 1782 года наместником Воронежским и Харьковским указом императрицы Екатерины II был назначен Василий Алексеевич Чертков. Под его руководством была создана регулярная планировка города с прямыми пересекающимися улицами. Регулярный (главный) план города Воронежа, утверждённый императрицей в 1774 году, основывался на традиционном для того времени принципе «трезубца».От Митрофаньевского монастыря прошли три «луча» — Большая Московская улица (ныне ул. Плехановская), Большая Девицкая улица (ныне ул. Платонова и ул. 9 января) и Мещанская улица (ныне ул. Володарского).

Современная архитектура
Территория современного Воронежа включила в себя почти независимые от него в прошлом слободы: на правом берегу реки — Троицкую, Ямскую, Чижовку и др., а на левом берегу, Придачу и Монастырщенку. Планировка большинства городских улиц и площадей (Генерала Черняховского, Ленина, Победы, Заставы, Никитина, Советская, Университетская, площадь Детей) представляет историческую ценность. Существует проект создания площади Олимпийской Славы у Дворца спорта «Юбилейный».

В Воронеже в данный момент ведётся активное строительство. Общая площадь земельных участков, предоставленных для строительства (данные 2009—2011 годов запланированные):
 2007 год — 65,3 га
 2008 год — 84,2 га
 2009 год — 80,0 га
 2010 год — 70,0 га
 2011 год — 75,0 га.
Из них для жилищного строительства, индивидуального жилищного строительства (данные 2009—2011 годов запланированные):
 2007 год — 37,85 га
 2008 год — 46,57 га
 2009 год — 25,00 га
 2010 год — 23,00 га
 2011 год — 26,00 га.

Среди новых зданий можно отметить здание областной прокуратуры и др.

До принятия городской Думой 19 декабря 2008 года генерального плана строительства в Воронеже были снесены исторические объекты, представляющие историческую ценность: дом Перелыгиной на ул. Платонова (памятник истории и архитектуры регионального значения, построенный в 1919 году) и столетняя рекламная городская тумба. Из-за непроведения реконструкции 23 февраля 2008 года рухнул купол здания Ротонды, памятника Великой отечественной войны. 19 декабря 2008 года после обсуждения на общественных слушаниях городской думой был принят генеральный план строительства в Воронеже, в котором по данным февраля 2010 года многие находящиеся под охраной Российского государства здания обозначены как обыкновенные, что создаёт угроза их сноса или реконструкции, после которой они потеряют свою ценность. Так по данным 2009 года городская администрация планирует снести дом, в котором жил в ссылке О. Э. Мандельштам.

В 2009 году в Воронеже состоялся третий межрегиональный конкурс «Зодчество Черноземья-2009»

Летом 2010 года окраины Воронежа (Масловка, у авторынка в Северном районе, Кожевенный кордон, около посёлка Боровое и др.) пострадали от пожара. При тушении была использована авиатехника. Были погибшие. Дома многих жителей сгорели. Впоследствии им была оказана материальная помощь.
В Воронеже в данный момент ведётся активное строительство. Общая площадь земельных участков, предоставленных для строительства в 2009 году составила 34 га. Из них для жилищного строительства, индивидуального жилищного строительства — 5,42 га, а для комплексного освоения в целях жилищного строительства — 30,7 га. К празднованию 425-летия город активно благоустраивают. Отремонтированы фасады многих зданий центральных улиц. Реконструируется парк «Алые паруса». В парке «Шинник» отреставрирован фонтан, не работавший 30 лет..

Здания
В 1786—1787 годах по проекту Джа́комо Анто́нио Доме́нико Кваре́нги как часть неосуществленного комплекса общественных зданий Дом казенной палаты (проспект Революции, 21) был возведен при генерал-губернаторе Черткове для казенной палаты.

Дом Тулиновых
В 1811—1813 годы по проекту городского архитектора Т. С. Кондратьева в стиле ампир было построено двухэтажное здание, Дом Тулиновых (проспект Революции, 30). В 1818 году в этом доме останавливался Александр I, а в июле 1837 года два дня провел здесь наследник престола, будущий император Александр II вместе с поэтом Василием Жуковским.

Здание гостиницы «Бристоль»
В 1909—1910 годы по проекту инженера М. Е. Фурманова было построено Здание гостиницы «Бристоль» (проспект Революции, 43). При строительстве был использован железобетон. В этом здании впервые в городе заработал грузовой лифт.

Здание Управления ЮВЖД
С 1929 года началось строительство здания Управления ЮВЖД в стиле конструктивизм по проекту архитектора Н. В. Троицкого (проспект Революции, 18). Сдано в эксплуатацию в 1932 году. Во время Второй мировой войны было разрушено. В 1952 году было перестроено автором в стиле классицизм.

Здание областной администрации
После Великой Отечественной войны при восстановлении Воронежа существовал проект воронежского архитектора Л. В. Руднева строительства административного здания «Дом Советов». Предполагалось построить здание с примерно 16-18 этажами. Его общая высота со шпилем должна была составить 103 метра, что в полтора раза больше, чем высота здания ЮВЖД. На шпиле должна была разместиться звезда (прим. скорее всего пятиконечная). Здание планировалось построить многоярусным сужающимся с высотой. Вместо башни построили 6-этажное здание, ныне занимаемое Правительством Воронежской области. Такая же участь постигла и здание Воронежского государственного университета, который должен был стать таким высоким как здания МГУ.

«Утюжок»
На перекрестке проспекта Революции и Пушкинской улицей (проспект Революции, 58) расположено здание формы утюга. Оно так и называется «Утюжок». На этом месте раньше находился торговый дом Вяхиревых, форма которого и послужила причиной названия здания..
Покровский кафедральный собор был построен во время епископа Митрофана.

Каменный мост
Каменный мост — мост у пересечения улиц Карла Маркса и Чернышевского, который был построен в августе-сентябре 1826 г. по проекту городского архитектора И. А. Блицина при губернаторе Н. И. Кривцове, начавшем активное благоустройство города. В 1984—1986 гг. к 400-летию города было проведено обновление моста, выполненное по проекту архитектора А. В. Поспелова.
 Здание Александрийского детского приюта — здание с башней (ул. Карла Маркса, 45), стоящее рядом с каменным мостом. В нём до 1917 году находился Александрийский детский приют, который был открыт в 1848 году С 1936 года в доме размещались ясли-сад Управления КГБ по Воронежской области. После войны здание было восстановлено по проекту архитектора Б. Н. Зотова. При этом угловая часть была сделана более высокой и получила открытый ярус, подобный ярусу звона колоколен.'''

Six Sobering Facts
Drunk driving is the most frequently committed crime in the United States.
About 30 percent of all Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related car crash during their lifetime.
More than 40 percent of all fatal auto accidents are alcohol-related.
An alcohol-related crash kills one person every 31 minutes and injures one person every two minutes.
Auto accidents are the greatest single cause of death for young people between the ages of six and 27. Almost half of these accidents involve alcohol.
Your chance of being involved in a drunk-driving accident increases dramatically with every two beers you drink. Have a six pack and your chances of being in a drunk-driving accident are 44 percent.
1,700 college students die each year from alcohol-related accidents, including car crashes.
Approximately 600,000 college students are injured under the influence of alcohol, many of which are automobile-related.
How much does DUI cost?
Beyond lost lives and painful injuries, alcohol-related crashes in the United States cost federal and local governments and taxpayers approximately $51 billion each year. (Blincoe et al., 2002)
Of course, a single DUI won't cost you anywhere near that much. But getting caught driving under the influence can be an expensive. Costs vary state by state, but you could spend about $4,000-$5,000 on fines, impound fees, a DUI treatment program, insurance increases and other things—and that's before you hire a lawyer.
Some consequences of a first DUI arrest and conviction are:
Your license will be suspended for a period of time.
You may have to participate in a treatment program.
You may even have to spend a weekend in jail.
But even for first offenders, DUI laws and penalties are getting tougher every year.
As of the end of December 2007, all states have:
Made 21 the legal drinking age
Passed Zero Tolerance laws prohibiting drivers under 21 from having any measurable alcohol in their system
Lowered the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) for adults from .1 to .08
And your failure or refusal to take a breathalyzer test has increased consequences. Nearly two-thirds of all states now allow arresting officers to confiscate your driver's license on the spot!
Penalties for repeat offenders are also getting tougher. If you get a second or third DUI conviction and you will likely face:
Mandatory jail time
Longer license suspension
Larger fines
Even hardship licenses for driving back and forth to work are hard to get these days. So if you find yourself in the unfortunate position of having multiple DUI's, severe consequences can be difficult or impossible to avoid even with a good lawyer. Most states now have Habitual Violator laws, which require felony convictions for three DUI convictions. Three-time losers can lose their driver's license permanently and can even lose basic civil rights like the right to vote.
See what the laws and penalties are for DUI convictions in West Virginia
See how it will also affect you at WVU, see the Student Conduct Code
Long-term consequences
Once you've been convicted of a DUI, you will probably have to disclose that conviction on every future application you fill out. Most potential employers take DUI convictions seriously. A DUI conviction may also prevent you from joining the military or getting a government or civil service job.
If you've already got a DUI, now is the time to take advantage of every option within your reach to turn your life around. By recognizing that you have a problem and taking the initiative to get help, there is a chance you might even get your record erased.

PhD studentship in: "Synthesis of Fluorinated Organo-rings and Derived Architectures"
Closing Date: Monday 20 February 2023
Supervisor: Prof Simon Woodward (https://silviresearch.com/)
A 3.5-year PhD studentship is currently available in the Woodward research group to be filled as soon as possible for an October 2023 start.
The student will be based in the University of Nottingham (GSK Carbon Neutral Laboratories for Sustainable Chemistry, Jubilee Campus) and will be involved in research leading to a PhD in synthetic organic chemistry. More information about the project below.
Synthetic organic chemistry lays at the heart of Science and Technology and within this remit the formation of ring-shaped (macrocyclic) molecules is attractive. Such organic rings selectively envelope smaller molecular guests making them of high utility in supramolecular and device ('molecular machine'/sensor) chemistries. Additionally, ring-molecules have a burgeoning use as scaffolds for medicinal and biological applications.
Recently we have discovered a new, simple and general strategy allowing the preparation of large macrocyclic thioether rings containing multiple fluorine groups Chemical Science 2023: https://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2023/SC/D2SC05348A#!divAbstract these are fantastic starting materials (accessible at gram amounts) for the preparation of additional new and exciting structures.
The successful candidate will explore new avenues in this field of fluorinated organic rings, working on methods to allow their selective conversion into diverse functionalized organic rings (macrocycles) and other architectures for widespread applications.
The student will work at the GSK Carbon Neutral Laboratories for Sustainable Chemistry, University of Nottingham, using state-of-the-art research facilities. The student will develop extensive skills in organic chemical synthesis and spectroscopy and receive substantial training in supramolecular, macrocyclic and physical organic chemistries: all fields which are increasingly popular in both academia and industry.
The ideal candidate will hold a degree in Chemistry, or a closely related subject, and have developed a strong interest in the field of synthetic organic chemistry. The start date for this project will be Oct 2023 (please see eligibility below). The studentship will be filled as soon as a suitable candidate has been found, hence candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. Prospective applicants are encouraged to visit our research group website (https://woodwardchemistry.com) and contact Prof Simon Woodward (simon.woodward@nottingham.ac.uk) for more details or enquires about the project.
The position is available only for UK Home Students. Applicants should have, or expected to achieve, a 1st class or 2:1 Honours degree in Chemistry, Nat. Sci. or an equivalent chemically focussed degree. A 4-year integrated Masters (MSci or MChem), combined studies (BSc followed by MSc), or a BSc degree followed by substantial research experience will all be considered.
Fully funded studentship to commence in Oct 2023. UK students – tuition fees paid and full stipend, tax-free, for 3.5 years at the RCUK rate (currently £17,668 per annum).
Please send a cover letter and CV to simon.woodward@nottingham.ac.uk detailing your previous research experience and current research interests.

Морфо () — род дневных бабочек из семейства Нимфалиды (Nymphalidae). Ранее данный род выделялся в самостоятельное семейство Morphidae.  По различным классификациям к роду относят от 30 до 60 видов, которые по окраске крыльев разделяют на несколько подгрупп.

Общая характеристика

Размах крыльев от 50 мм (Morpho rhodopteron) до 150—180 мм, а у некоторых видов достигает 210 мм (Морфо Гекуба). Окраска крыльев большинства видов синяя или голубая, с металлическим блеском. Встречаются виды с крыльями перламутрового и жемчужно-белого цвета; с чёрно-голубым или красно-коричневым узором. Блестящая с металлическим отблеском крыльев окраска целиком оптическая, в её основе лежит преломление света. В чешуйках крыльев возникает тонкослойная интерференция. Пигмент в нижней части чешуек не пропускает свет и придаёт большую яркость интерференционной окраске. Лучи света, проходя через чешуйки, отражаются как от их внешних, так и от внутренних поверхностей, и в результате два отражённых луча накладываются и усиливают друг друга. Нижняя сторона крыльев тёмная, окрашена преимущественно в различные оттенки коричневого цвета. По основному фону нижней стороны крыльев разбросаны многочисленные  концентрические «глазки» с белой серединой, пятна и небольшие перевязи. Присаживаясь на ветки деревьев или на землю и складывая крылья, бабочки становятся похожими на сухие листья. Выражен половой диморфизм: самки многих видов окрашены в оттенки жёлтого цвета с серо-коричневым пятнами. Нижняя сторона крыльев коричневая, бурая, с «глазками».

Ареал и места обитания

Центральная и Южная Америка. От Мексики до южных регионов Бразилии и Северной Аргентины. Некоторые виды, как  в местах обитания поднимаются в горы на высоты до 2700 метров над уровнем моря. Большинство видов обитает в густых тропических лесах.

Биология
Самцы более активны, часто летают; самки же предпочитают держаться в верхушках деревьев, крайне редко спускаются к земле. Бабочек привлекают забродившие фрукты и сок деревьев. Морфо каждого вида летают в определённое время дня, а продолжительность ежедневной активности не превышает двух часов.

Яйца в форме полусферы зеленоватого цвета, откладываются на листья растений. Гусеницы кормятся на бобовых, от травянистых до деревьев, например мукуна жгучая. Куколка гладкая, блестящая, зелёного цвета, внешним видом напоминает плоды растений.

Виды
Все виды рода принято разделять на несколько подгрупп

Подрод Iphimedeia
 Группа hercules

 Группа hecuba

 Группа telemachus

Подрод Iphixibia

Подрод Cytheritis
 Группа sulkowskyi

New space race for tourists
Founders of Virgin, Amazon, PayPal working to offer brief space flights for wealthy tourists.
July 13, 2005: 2:33 PM EDT
By Chris Isidore, CNN/Money senior writer
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Forget the Russians and the Americans. The new space race is between the guys from Virgin Atlantic, Amazon.com, and PayPal.
The two-and-a-half years since the last manned NASA flight have seen great efforts by entrepreneurs who want to start providing flights for wealthy space tourists. (Click here for CNN.com's coverage of the postponement Wednesday of NASA's resumption of space shuttle flights.)
Virgin Atlantic won't be flying into space, but a sister company, Virgin Galactic appears to have an early lead, and hopes to offer sub-orbital flights as soon as 2008.
The company has a licensing agreement with aircraft designer Burt Rutan and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who backed Rutan's effort to build the first privately-financed rocket to carry a man into space, SpaceShipOne. That ship made two sub-orbital trips last fall to win the $10 million X-Prize.
Virgin Galactic is now spending $21.5 million for use of the technology, and plans to spend $100 million to build five of a new version of the space craft, which should each be able to carry six or seven passengers, plus crew, into space.
The flights will be sub-orbital, only giving the passengers about seven minutes of weightlessness and the ability to see the darkness of space and the curve of the earth. The cost for the flight, along with several days of training before takeoff, is estimated to be $200,000.
The fact that the space craft is carried into the air underneath another plane before being launched in mid-air gives it cost savings and safety that can't be accomplished in a traditional ground-launched rocket, said Will Whitehorn, the president of Virgin Galactic.
Whitehorn said it should allow for a successful business model, with about 460 passengers the first year of operation, or about the number of people who have traveled in space since the first manned fight more than 40 years ago.
"We've now signed up 100 pioneer launch customers," said Whitehorn. "We have another 35,000 have registered who said they want to take a flight. We're going to take an entirely different view of leaving the planet's surface."
But Whitehorn acknowledges his firm isn't the only one making such an effort. Jeff Bezos, founder of online retailer Amazon.com, has formed Blue Origin LLC, which is also working on the design of a spacecraft and has already bought 165,000 acres of land in West Texas for a spaceport.
Elon Musk, who created the online payment system PayPal, formed Space Exploration Technologies, which is now working on unmanned rocket launches as a way to eventually carry people into space for a fraction of current costs.
Musk and Whitehorn both believe that private competition will bring down the cost of space flight to the point where it is soon affordable for folks who can't spend six figures.
"It is despairing to consider that the cost and reliability of access to space have barely changed since the Apollo era over three decades ago. Yet in virtually every other field of technology, we have made great strides in reducing cost and increasing capability," said Musk in testimony before Congress. He blamed lack of new entrants into the field of space flight for the current high costs.
But Musk's firm, known as SpaceX, is concentrating now on achieving unmanned missions carrying commercial payloads into orbit. Once it has a track record, it hopes to be able to carry as many as five passengers into orbit on a rocket it is now developing. But it has no time frame for those flights.
Whitehorn is careful not to directly criticize NASA for the lack of commercial flights, but he believes the agency's structure has stuck it with old and very expensive spacecraft.
"[The shuttle] is technologically a very 70s and 80s product," he said. "Things have come along leaps and bounds since then."
Space travel agency
So far the only space tourists have been American Dennis Tito and South African Mark Shuttleworth. Both underwent six months of training and paid $20 million to ride in Russian-built Soyuz rockets to the International Space Station. Those trips were arranged by Space Adventures, an Arlington, Va., firm that acts as a tour operator for space trips. It's arranged a third such trip for American Greg Olsen, set for this October.
It has also started to accept deposits from potential customers who want to pay just over $100,000 for a sub-orbital flight. Space Adventures President Eric Anderson said he has collected about $3 million from 150 customers, and that he'll be either the first or among the first to arrange for such flights. He also believes only a few days of training for passengers will be needed for a flight.
"Virgin will spend hundreds of millions to build SpaceShipTwo," he said. "We plan to have more than one kind of sub-orbital vehicle. We've got agreements with several different vehicles. I think over the next five to 10 years there will be many different choices."
But Anderson admits that whoever is first will have an price advantage.
"Once the price is above $100,000, it's for the elite affluent," said Anderson. "But if someone is offering flights right away and everyone else is talking about flying in five or six years, they'll be able to charge a big premium. People aren't going to want to wait."
One of Anderson's customers is Per Wimmer, a Danish investment adviser working for a London investment bank. He's already paid his $100,000 to be among the first customers Space Adventures will put on a sub-orbital flight, and he's sticking with the firm despite Virgin's plans.
"There's always a premium to pay to be a first," he said. "I'd get out tomorrow if I could."

Two New 'High-Rise' Images Feature Tom Hiddleston, Elisabeth Moss, and Jeremy Irons
Posted on Tuesday, September 1st, 2015 by Russ Fischer
There's no trailer for Ben Wheatley's High-Rise, seemingly in part because there's isn't a firm release plan announced in the UK, and no US distributor. We're waiting eagerly for news of the film's theatrical release. In the meantime, however, we've got two new High-Rise images showing Jeremy Irons, Tom Hiddleston, and Elisabeth Moss as they appear in the film.
And while images of Hiddleston's character that we've seen in the past (like the one above) made the guy look like his life is pretty together, this new shot shows him in a different place. And then there's a shot of Irons which is a bit mysterious, even ominous.
The film's official twitter feed offered up these pics. The film will be at Fantastic Fest at the end of the month, and then hit the BFI London Film Fest in October, with an October 9 UK premiere date at the fest.
This is Jeremy Irons as Anthony Royal and Tom Hiddleston as Dr Robert Laing and Elisabeth Moss as Helen Wilder.
We'll see High-Rise at Fantastic Fest, and that festival gives us this info on the movie.
Laing, a young doctor, joins a community in a luxury building in Thatcher's England, who exile themselves from society and gradually divide into violent tribes.
1975. Two miles west of London, Dr. Robert Laing moves into his new apartment seeking soulless anonymity, only to find that the building's residents have no intention of leaving him alone. Resigned to the complex social dynamics unfolding around him, Laing bites the bullet and becomes neighborly. As he struggles to establish his position, Laing's good manners and sanity disintegrate along with the building. The lights go out and the lifts fail but the party goes on. People are the problem. Booze is the currency. Sex is the panacea.
The film is written by Amy Jump and directed by Ben Wheatley, based on the novel by J.G. Ballard. Clint Mansell provides the score, and Laurie Rose acted as cinematographer. All those factors together contribute to my huge interest in the movie. Fantastic Fest can't get here fast enough.
Here are the prior images we've seen from the movie, which also features Luke Evans, Sienna Miller, James Purefoy, Peter Ferdinando, Reece Shearsmith, Sienna Guillory, Dan Renton Skinner, Augustus Prew, and Stacy Martin:
