A New Shade of Gray

Gray officially filed his candidacy papers March 30. | Garrett Faulkner
Well, city council Chairman Vincent Gray has gone and done it.
After months of prodding and speculation in the media and among political types in the District, Gray has decided to take on incumbent Mayor Adrian Fenty and run against him.
He made his announcement at a spirited rally where the key rhetorical elements were "one city" and "we can do better," which got the people in attendance at Reeves Municipal Center going, but didn't give too many clues on substance or policy difference that Gray might have with the mayor.
Still, the announcement accomplished at least two things: it ended speculation about Gray and transferred it to speculation about who was going to run for Gray's chairman position.
The one certain thing is that Gray will not be chairman next year, and that's the big risk in his decision: that he could become Linda Cropp, the sitting council chair four years ago who decided to run for mayor and got soundly trounced by Fenty, managing to lose every precinct and ward in the city. Now that he's opted to run against Fenty, Gray cannot run for re-election as council chair, an election he was a sure bet to have won. He could be a man without a job if he fails to unseat the sitting mayor.
Gray is obviously optimistic about his chances. On the surface, his is in the very least a serious candidacy, although the probabilities for success remain very, very iffy. Gray may have been encouraged by a recent poll that showed a decided unhappiness among voters with Fenty, but it was a poll from which you could extract mixed meanings.
Many district voters and residents, many of them in the poorer and majority black areas of the city such as Ward 8, 7, 6, 5 and 4 (Fenty's own ward), are not happy with the way Fenty has governed, even if quite a few others praise his action-fueled ways, citing favorable homicide and crime stats, a major school takeover and reform effort that's beginning to show favorable results in some areas and general quality of life improvements. It was a poll that seemed to say "we like some of what you've done, but we don't like how you did it." Which is to say that Fenty was perceived as distant, somewhat arrogant, a "does not play well with others" (especially the city council) kind of leader, often high-handed, secretive and single-minded. A poll also showed that in a one-on-one race against Fenty, Gray would narrowly win.
Yet these objections, while heated, also seem somewhat ephemeral — they're not the sort of thing you on which you can place a big political bet. More troublesome may be the results of an investigation into Fenty's bypassing the council in awarding contracts on parks and recreation projects. And just this week, the anger of residents where four people were killed in mass shootings was high after Fenty — rumored to be vacationing in Jamaica — failed to show up at the site. To be fair, the mayor's presence at scenes of tragedy and trouble has been consistently high in the past.
Then there's the question of how legislation will fare on the council when a number of its members are engaged in running for office, and that would be especially in the case of Gray. It's budget time, and Fenty last week presented his budget for fiscal year 2011 to the council and to the public, a budget fraught with potential controversy, given its unsightly $500 million-plus deficit. At the meeting with the council, Fenty greeted Gray with a hug, the first time the two men apparently had seen each other or talked in months.
Fenty's relationship with the city council — especially Gray — has deteriorated drastically, beginning with the choice of Michelle Rhee as public schools chancellor, the selection of which the Washington Post knew about before Gray was informed. Rhee's own drastic reform efforts, which include high doses of national publicity, the mass firing of teachers and stalled contract talks with the teacher's union, seemed to mimic Fenty's style.
Such treatment obviously rankled Gray, especially after he supported Fenty in his school takeover effort.
But Fenty is also a tough, high-energy campaigner with a big war chest of nearly $4 million. This late in the game, that's a lot to catch up with, although Gray is rumored to be trolling for support with the Cafritz family and folks like Judith Terra, a former Fenty supporter.
Then there's Don Peebles, the bucks-rich developer who may yet run, which might distract the focus of voters, if not the contributors.
Gray — now dubbed Vince Gray on his campaign website — is a careful sort who likes building consensus. Fenty, at least if the polls are correct, is seen as someone who likes to act and make decisions and not look back or apologize.
Gray's decision sparked a scramble among candidates looking at his council chairman seat in an increasingly volatile city council. Ward 2 Councilman Jack Evans, the council's longest sitting member, has already unequivocally said he will run. Solid rumors have it that Kwame Brown, the appealing and popular at-large member will also run, and there are speculations about Phil Mendelson, another veteran at-large member who faces a re-election challenge, is also considering a bid for the seat.
That speaks to a certain instability on the new council, which recently celebrated its 35th anniversary under Home Rule. Six council members are up for re-election this year, many of them first timers. That makes this year's budget deliberations a possible arena for political combat.
In this atmosphere, and with this late start, what are the odds on Gray's run? It remains a long shot, but there are some things he can (and some that he must) do to give himself the best chance. The most difficult might be catching up in the financing sweepstakes. He (and Fenty) must also be careful to not let their differences create a have-and-have-not political climate. But Gray has to do more than complain about Fenty's style. Fenty and Gray represent two different political generations in Washington, something that can favor Gray, who can draw support from folks used to being politically active. But he has to, at some point, make policy distinctions between himself and Fenty. It's one thing to be prickly about Rhee and her methods, or Fenty and his methods. He's got to show how a Gray administration would be different in substance, not just style. Both Vincent and Vince have to show up at the candidate forums which are a hallmark of D.C.'s election campaigns.

Siemens Gamesa receives order for 448 MW Courseulles-sur-Mer offshore wind project
February 22, 2021 reve
Leading France's wind power revolution, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has been awarded the firm order from the EDF Renewables-Enbridge-wpd consortium for the 448 MW Courseulles-sur-Mer offshore wind power project. Located 10 km off the Bessin coast, the project brings the total capacity awarded to Siemens Gamesa by the consortium in France to approx. 1 GW. Both the wind turbine nacelles and blades for the Courseulles-sur-Mer project are scheduled to be produced at the Siemens Gamesa facility currently under construction in Le Havre.
Marc Becker, CEO of the Siemens Gamesa Offshore Business Unit comments, "We are delighted to again be the partner of choice for EDF Renewables, Enbridge, and wpd, and to deliver our second firm French offshore order to them. As we unlock more of the future of wind in France, we thank them for their vote of confidence in our technology, people, and ambitious growth plans in the country. Our facility in Le Havre and the Courseulles-sur-Mer project including service will provide local jobs and value for years to come."
The 448 MW project will rely upon the stable technology of the SWT-7.0-154 Direct Drive offshore wind turbine, a part of the world's most installed offshore turbine fleet. Installation and commissioning of the Courseulles-sur-Mer project is scheduled for 2024.
Together with the 497 MW Fécamp offshore wind power project signed with the EDF Renewables-Enbridge-wpd consortium in 2020, Siemens Gamesa has now signed firm orders with them for approx. 1 GW, further cementing the company as the leader in the French offshore wind power industry. Siemens Gamesa has an additional firm order in France for the 496 MW Bay of Saint Brieuc offshore wind power plant with Ailes Marines. Siemens Gamesa has furthermore been named preferred supplier for the 496 MW Dieppe le Tréport and 496 MW Yeu Noirmoutier offshore wind projects.
The Siemens Gamesa facility under construction on the Quai Joannès Couvert in the Port of Le Havre will be the first in the world to manufacture complete offshore nacelles and blades under one roof. It is the largest industrial project in the French renewable energy industry to date and will be used to supply Siemens Gamesa offshore wind projects in France and potentially abroad. Start of operation for the plant is scheduled to take place in the first half of 2022.
Expected to create approximately 750 direct and indirect jobs when fully operational, particularly in the fields of composite materials, mechanical assembly, and logistics, the facility has already begun recruiting employees.
Over 1,000 Siemens Gamesa Direct Drive offshore wind turbines have been installed in all major offshore wind markets globally. They include the UK, Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands, Belgium, Taiwan, and the USA, among others. Furthermore, confirmed orders for more than 1,000 additional Offshore Direct Drive turbines have been received, for these markets and new offshore markets.

Week in Tech: Android in trouble, 4K PS4s and a Rasta disasta
By TechRadar 2016-04-22T10:10:00.112Z World of tech
Plus… as Facebook kills phones, Netflix embraces HDR
If there's one thing tech firms fear, it's an EU investigation: Microsoft is still recovering from its EU anti-trust battle, and now it's Google's turn. Facebook will be under growing scrutiny too as it adds ever more forms of communication to Messenger – but at least it isn't embroiled in a racism row over a face-swapping filter. On a brighter note, we've got some good news for Playstation fans and Netflix addicts. It's Week in Tech!
Is Android a bad robot?
The EU has launched an anti-trust investigation into Android, amid claims that by making manufacturers take all its Android apps Google is using its power to crowd out competitors. As anyone who watched the EU do significant damage to Microsoft over anti-trust claims knows, this could have big implications for the smartphone industry. James Rogerson explains that not only could it cost Google "billions of dollars in fines, but it could also be a big deal for hardware manufacturers and users of Android". Fancy more fragmentation and more expensive phones? That could be the result.
Meet the Neo boss: it's the 4K PS4
While the Xbox 360 faced its final red ring this week, Sony unveiled big plans for the PlayStation: it's making PSN accounts much harder to compromise – and rumours are swirling that it's about to release a 'PS4.5'. The new console, dubbed Neo, will be more powerful than the current PS4 and should support 4K gaming, but there's a risk of fragmentation here: game developers will be asked to make two PS4 versions, one for the existing console and one for the Neo. Dom Reseigh-Lincoln is worried. "Creating a new improved version of your console this soon into a generation will certainly ensure Sony is geared up for the years to come, but it'll be leaving a lot of its own early adopters in the dust," he says.
50 shades of yay
Facebook Messenger has put another nail in the coffin of your phone app: Messenger now enables you to share calls with up to 50 friends at once, which is great if you have 50 friends and like to hear lots of people yelling over each other. "Group calling shows Facebook is dead set on replacing your phone app," Lewis Leong says – and video chat is next. "Facebook plans to add group video calling to Messenger in the future, but has to tackle video stabilization first, since users will almost certainly be using it on their phones."
Netflix: HDR is here, and we might do downloads
There's lots of exciting news coming out of Netflix HQ right now: not only is it bringing 150 hours of HDR content to the service by the end of this year, it seems to be doing a U-turn on offline content too: what was "never gonna happen" in 2014 is now apparently in development. The reason? 4K. Jon Porter explains: "It's not exactly a solid confirmation, but it's nice to see Netflix admit that not everyone has access to the types of network speeds that will allow them to stream pristine 4K video. This will become especially apparent as Netflix moves into countries with more ropey internet infrastructure."
In an entirely avoidable scandal, Snapchat has come under fire for a new Bob Marley filter that some people think crosses the line into offensive 'blackface' territory. As many people observed on Twitter, the Bob Marley estate has lent its approval to all kinds of old rubbish over the years, so it wasn't a huge surprise to discover that the filter had the estate's full approval. They obviously aren't offended, but lots of people on the internet are.
Go East
The new Red Dead Redemption 2 map has leaked, and sources have "confirmed that the game will be set before the events of Redemption, and that the new map is just east of the one that featured in Red Dead Redemption". As Hugh Langley reports, "The overarching theme of Red Dead Redemption was the 'death of the West', so a prequel, rather than a sequel, makes sense."
Robots in disguise
What would happen if you tried to recreate the world's most famous robots in Fallout 4? SJ Azar can tell you, although if we're being pedantic Ripley's power loader from Aliens isn't actually a robot. But if you like robots and you like Fallout, you'll love the bots SJ built.

Spanish police raid 'narcoflats' in Barcelona
by: ARITZ PARRA, Associated Press
MADRID (AP) — Police in Barcelona say that around one thousand officers are searching dozens of city center establishments that are believed to be used in the trafficking and consumption of drugs.
A spokeswoman for police in the Spanish region of Catalonia said Thursday that the raids are aimed at dismantling a criminal organization suspected of relying on illegal street alcohol sales to also distribute drugs consumed in what are locally known as "narcoflats."
She said national, regional and local police agents are working together to conduct some 35 expected raids near the city's port and the central Ciutat Vella district. The spokeswoman wasn't authorized to be named in media reports.
Barcelona residents have long complained of the number of flats used for illicit drug dealing and consumption, mostly of heroin.
A crackdown last year led to dozens of arrests.
Police bust ring accused of smuggling 10,000 migrants to UK
PARIS (AP) — French and Dutch police have arrested 23 suspected members of a criminal network that has smuggled as many as 10,000 migrants from France to Britain, according to the European police agency Europol.
The network was suspected of earning 70 million euros ($77.6 million) in profits by organizing illegal passages for migrants from Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq and Iran, Europol said Thursday.

Louis-Anne La Virotte (ou bien que plus rarement, Lavirotte), né en 1725 à Nolay et mort le  à Paris, est un célèbre médecin français, traducteur de la médecine anglaise, et un des dix-huit censeurs royaux de l'Histoire Naturelle, la Pharmacie, et de la Chimie.

Bibliographie
Fils d'un viticulteur en Bourgogne, Louis-Anne La Virotte naît en 1725.

Source principale sur sa vie
La Virotte fut introduit au Journal des Savants par la protection du chancelier d'Aguesseau en 1750. C'est de ce collectif qu'est issue l'Éloge qui est faite à sa mort, et qui nous apporte la source la plus longue sur sa vie.

Docteur en Médecine
Il fait ses études au séminaire d'Autin, et se destine à l'étude de la médecine, qu'il part étudier dans l'université la plus prestigieuse de son temps en ce domaine : la faculté de médecine de Montpellier. Montant à Paris, il obtient son doctorat en 1752, et enseigne à la Faculté de médecine de Paris.

La Virotte est connu pour avoir défendu l'inoculation de la petite vérole, à la Faculté de Médecine.

Censeur Royal
Monsieur La virotte est l'un des dix-huit censeurs royaux pour l'histoire naturelle, la médecine et la chimie jusqu'en 1759 (l'année de son décès), ce qui est une marque de confiance de la part du pouvoir monarchique. En effet, il est celui par qui les livres publiés passent, afin d'obtenir l'approbation du Roi, dans le cadre de la Censure Royale.

Censeur de la philosophie de Diderot : La Lettre sur les Sourds et les Muets, 1751.
La Lettre sur les Sourds et les Muets, à l'usage de ceux qui entendent et qui parlent, a été approuvée par La Virotte, comme le rapporte Franck A. Kafker (dans son article sur La Virotte dans la Revue de Recherche sur Diderot et l'Encyclopédie), et Barbara de Negroni dans son ouvrage Lectures interdites, le travail des Censeurs au dix-huitième siècle, 1723 à 1774.

Barbara de Negroni avance dans son ouvrage que : « Lavirotte, après avoir lu La Lettre des Sourds et des Muets à l'usage de ceux qui entendent et de ceux qui parlent à l'auteur des Beaux-Arts réduits à un même principe, écrit qu'il n'a rien trouvé dans ce texte qui « empêcherait son impression ». L'anatomie métaphysique de Diderot ne pose pas de problème à un censeur médecin, alors qu'elle inquiéterait un philsosophe, et scandaliserait un théologien.»Une autre hypothèse, voudrait qu'on ne réduise pas seulement la Virotte à sa fonction de médecin, puisqu'il est aussi un traducteur, et un censeur de la chimie, mais qu'on en fasse un "complice" de l'oeuvre de Diderot. Toutefois, cette hypothèse resterait à étayer, mais n'oublions pas qu'au même moment, La Virotte publie dans le Journal des Sçavans une critique du Discours Préliminaire de d'Alembert, dont une petite partie est transcrite plus bas, et qui nous indique que sur des sujets de Philosophie, le médecin n'est pas en reste. Ajourons encore que lui-même interviendra,dans l'Encyclopédie, dans un article publié à titre posthume.

Censeur de la traduction de la chimie du baron d'Holbach : Traité de Physique, d'Histoire Naturelle, de Minéralogie et de Métallurgie, novembre 1752.
Nous retrouvons sa signature dans plusieurs ouvrages traduits de l'Allemand par le baron d'Holbach, et regroupés sous le titre suivant ; Traités de Physique, d'Histoire naturelle, de Minéralogie, et de Métallurgie, pour la plupart traduits de Johann Gottlob Lehmann.

Publié en trois volumes, on trouve ainsi, à la fin du troisième volume, nommé Essai d'une histoire naturelle de couches de la Terre, l' "approbation" nécessaire afin de publier cet ouvrage :  « J'ai lû par ordre de Monseigneur le Chancelier un manuscrit qui a pour titre ; Oeuvres Physiques & Minéralgiques de M. Lehmann, traduites de l'Allemand ; & j'ai cru que l'impression en seroit utile au Public. A Paris, ce 4. . Signé LAVIROTTE. »

Rapport de la Virotte à  l'Encyclopédie de Diderot, D'Alembert, et de Jaucourt.
Homme du dix-huitième siècle  par ses pairs (comme en témoigne sa participation au Journal des Sçavans), correspondant de Voltaire, La Virotte est aussi connu pour avoir donné un article aux Encyclopédistes, devenant l'un d'entre eux par là même.

Critique du Discours Préliminaire de d'Alembert
Pourtant, en tant que rédacteur du Journal des Sçavans, celui-ci avait critiqué le Discours Préliminaire de l'Encyclopédie, écrit par D'Alembert. Ainsi paraît, en , après un rapport élogieux de ce que contient le Discours, les phrases suivantes : « Avant de finir cet extrait de la Préface, nous croyons devoir ajouter qu'il y a longtemps qu'il n'a paru un ouvrage aussi bien frappé, aussi Philosophique, aussi plein d'esprit & de sagacité, & qui marque tant un génie supérieur. Mais nous sommes obligés d'avertir que cet ouvrage a ses défauts & contient même des choses dangereuses en matiére importante, que des Journalistes attentifs ne doivent point passer sous silence.L'Auteur suppose que les sensations sont la seule origine des idées, & il n'essaye pas même de le prouver ; il traite avec trop pei de ménagement l'opinion des idées innées qui a été défendue par des Philosophes célébres. Le systéme de Locke est dangereux pour la Religion ; mais on n'a rien à dire, quand ceux qui l'admettent n'en tirent point de mauvaises conséquences ; M. d'Alembert est de ce nombre, il reconnoit disertement la spiritualité de l'ame & l'éxistence de Dieu, mais il est si court sur l'un & l'autre de ces articles, sur lesquels il avoit tant de choses à dire & il est si étendu sur d'autres, que le Lecteur est en droit de demander la raison de la différence. [...] Voici les endroits de la Préface, qui nous on paru souffrir le plus de difficulté. Nous ne doutons point que M. d'Alembert ne donne quelques explication dans un des Discours qu'il mettra à la tête des volumes suivans. Nous avons jugé ces observations d'autant plus nécessaires, qu'un ouvrage aussi solide & aussi sçavant mérité une attention plus particulière. »

Docteur en Médecine, seul article de La Virotte
Néanmoins, en 1755, paraît à titre posthume son article Docteur en Médecine, dans le volume V de l'Encyclopédie.

Ayant signé son article , il est l'un des cent cinquante-neuf Encyclopédistes reconnus par leurs signatures, et signalés dans les Avertissements des Editeurs, présents au début de chaque volume de Discours.

Ainsi, il est cité au début du cinquième volume, dans l'Avertissement des Editeurs : « [...] On a déjà annoncé dans l'Avertissement du quatrieme Volume, que M. de Voltaire nous a donné pour celui-ci les articles Esprit, Eloquence, Elégance, & veut bien nous en faire espérer d'autres ; promesse que nous aurons soin de lui rappeler au nom de la Nation ; que M. Paris de Meyzieu, Directeur général des Etudes, & Intendant de l'Ecole Royale Militaire, en survivance, a donné l'article Ecole Militaire ; M. Morand, de l'Académie Royale des Sciences, &c. l'article Doradille, & M. Lavirotte, Docteur en Médecine de la Faculté de Paris, &c. l'article Docteur en Médecine. [...]»Cet article se trouve à la page 8a, et se poursuit jusqu'à la page 9b. Il s'occupe de décrire le métier du Docteur en Médecine, d'en prouver la solidité des connaissances des médecins et de leurs professeur, en énumérant minutieusement quels sont les examens que doivent passer les candidats afin d'en devenir un des représentants, et ceci afin de prévenir la population des charlatans.

En voici quelques extraits : « Docteur en Medecine ; c'est le titre qu'on donne à ceux qui ont le droit d'enseigner toutes les parties de la Medecine, & de la pratiquer pour le bien de la société. Ce droit ne s'acquert qu'en donnant des preuves authentiques de sa capacité devant des juges avoüés par le public. Ces juges ne peuvent être que des Medecins. C'est à eux seuls qu'il appartient d'apprétier le mérite & le savoir de ceux qui se destinent à l'exercice d'un art si important & si difficile. [...] S'il n'y a aucun art qui exige des connoissances plus étendues, & qui soit si important par son objet, que celui de la Medecine, on ne doit pas être étonné du grand nombre d'épreuves qu'on fait subir à ceux qui veulent acquérir le titre de docteur dans cette faculté ; moins encore doit-on être surpris qu'on attribue à ces docteurs le droit exclusif de professer & d'exercer la Medecine : ce n'est que par des précautions si sages, qu'on peut garantir le peuple de la séduction de tant de personnes occupées sans cesse à imaginer différens moyens d'abuser de sa crédulité, & de s'enrichir aux dépens de la santé & de la vie même des malades qui ont le malheur de tomber entre leurs mains. Voyez, à l'article Charlatan, l'histoire des principaux empyriques qui ont trompé la cour & la ville. [...]Il semble que pour peu qu'on réfléchisse sur toute cette suite de travaux, qui sont autant de motifs propres à appuyer la confiance du public par rapport aux medecins, on ne pourra s'empêcher d'être étonné qu'il soit encore si souvent la dupe de tant d'empyriques aussi imposteurs qu'ignorans ; mais la négligence où l'on vit sur sa santé, qu'on s'accorde cependant à regarder comme le bien le plus précieux, paroît être une inconséquence si générale, que par-tout on la livre au premier venu, qu'on la sacrifie sans ménagement, & qu'on se consume en excès : en un mot, par-tout on trouve des charlatans ; & quoiqu'il y en ait beaucoup à Paris, il y en a encore davantage à Londres, la ville de l'Europe où l'on se pique de penser le plus solidement. La plûpart des hommes sont amoureux de la nouveauté, même  en matiere de Medecine ; ils préferent souvent les remedes qu'ils connoissent le moins ; & ils admirent bien plus ceux qui annoncent une méthode singuliere & déréglée, que ceux qui se conduisent en hommes sages, & suivent le cours ordinaire des choses. Cet article est de M. Lavirotte, docteur en Medecine.»

La Virotte cité par les Encyclopédistes
Monsieur de la Virotte étant aussi un traducteur, et un professeur, il est cité par deux fois dans l'Encyclopédie sous la forme "La Virotte", et une fois sous la forme "Lavirotte".

Une première fois, il est cité en référence par Gabriel-François Venel (lui-même médecin, chimiste), dans l'article Chaleur (Œconomie Animale) : « [...] Mais toutes ces opinions qui ont regné dans l'école pendant les plus beaux jours de la Physiologie, qui peuvent compter parmi leurs partisans un Bergerus, un Boerhaave, un Stahl ; ces opinions, dis-je, ont été enfin très-solidement réfutées par le docteur Douglas (essai déjà cité), qui leur oppose entre autres argumens invincibles, l'impossibilité d'expliquer le phénomene essentiel, savoir, l'uniformité de la chaleur des animaux sous les différentes températures de leur milieu ; & c'est précisément à ce phénomene, qui fait effectivement le vrai fond de la question, que le système du docteur Douglas satisfait par la solution la plus naturelle & la plus séduisante. Cet ingénieux système, qui a été orné, étendu, & soûtenu avec éclat dans les écoles de Paris par M. de la Virotte, n'est cependant encore qu'une hypothese, à prendre cette expression dans son sens desavantageux, comme je vais tâcher de le démontrer : je dis démontrer ; car en Physique même nous pouvons atteindre jusqu'à la démonstration, quand nous n'avons qu'à détruire, & sur-tout lorsqu'il ne s'agit que d'une explication physiologique, appuyée sur les lois méchaniques & sur le calcul. [...]»

La deuxième fois, il est cité par M. Bourdeu pour une de ses traductions, dans le long article Crise (Médecine).« Nous devons à l'attention & au goût de M. Lavirotte medecin de Montpellier & de Paris, très-connu dans la république des Lettres, la connoissance d'une découverte fort remarquable, publiée en Anglois par M. Nihell, au sujet des observations sur les crises, faites principalement par le docteur Don Solano medecin espagnol. »

La troisième fois, il est cité par M. Menuret, dans le long article Pouls (Med. Econom. anim. Physiol. Séméiot.), cette fois en sa qualité de traducteur.« C'est une obligation que la Médecine & l'humanité ont à cet auteur [le Docteur Solano], d'avoir mis les idées du praticien espagnol dans un nouveau jour, & de les avoir arrachées à l'oubli dans lequel les auroit laissé tomber la négligence indolente de cette nation. Cet ouvrage est écrit en anglois, d'où il a été traduit en latin par M. Noorthwyk, & en françois par M. de la Virotte, sous ce titre : observations nouvelles & extraordinaires sur la prédiction des crises par le pouls, &c. par dom Solano de Lucques, enrichies de plusieurs cas nouveaux, par M. Nihell, &c. chez Debure, Paris 1748. »

Judas Priest, Devo, Pat Benatar Lead 2022 Rock Hall Nominees
Bryan Rolli
Bryan Rolli Published: February 2, 2022
Judas Priest, Devo and Pat Benatar are among the 17 nominees nominated for the 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame class.
"This year's ballot recognizes a diverse group of incredible artists, each who has had a profound impact on the sound of youth culture," John Sykes, Chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, said in a statement announcing the nominees. "Their music not only moved generations but also influenced the sound of countless artists that followed."
Ten of this year's nominees - including the three aforementioned acts - have appeared on the Hall of Fame ballot in previous years: Rage Against the Machine, Kate Bush, Eurythmics, New York Dolls, Dionne Warwick, Fela Kuti and MC5. The latter act has the most nominations to their name; this marks the sixth time they've been up for induction.
Seven artists are first-time nominees: Beck, Duran Duran, Eminem, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Carly Simon and A Tribe Called Quest.
Artists become eligible for the Rock Hall 25 years after releasing their first commercially available recording. Rapper Eminem is the lone artist on the 2022 list nominated in his first year of eligibility.
Judas Priest have long been touted as one of the Hall's most snubbed artists. Singer Rob Halford hasn't been bashful about how deserving he believes the heavy metal icons are.
"I think if any metal band deserves to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, it's Priest, and beyond that, there needs to be more metal there because there's not enough," he noted during a 2020 interview.
While most consider metal to be a genre overlooked by the Hall, country artists can stake a similar claim. Though acts who toed the line between rock and country - like Johnny Cash and the Everly Brothers - have earned enshrinement, many of the genre's biggest acts, including Garth Brooks and Willie Nelson, remain out. To that end, Parton's nomination is notable. The beloved singer has been eligible since 1989 but had been shut out of the nomination process until now.
Fans will be able to vote for their favorite nominees on the Rock Hall's website beginning today through April 29. The top five artists, as selected by the public, will make up the "fans' ballot" which will then be counted among the more than 1,000 ballots sent out to artists, historians and members of the music industry.
The 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame class of 2022 will be announced in May. Though details on the ceremony have yet to be revealed, Rock Hall ceremony director Joe Gallen said last month that the event would be held in Los Angeles for the first time since 2013. "I can't say the venue for sure yet, but definitely L.A. it looks like in early November," Gallen said on an episode of the Who Cares About the Rock Hall? podcast.

Chicago has been long known to produce a bevy of Blues artist who hold fast to the Blues Industry, constantly regenerating new talent from Buddy Guy, Otis Rush and Ms. KoKo Taylor to Little Milton you can pop into a blues club, and catch one of your favorite artist hosting, and serving up some blues, on a blue plate. it is then, when you get to experience the new talent that has begun to sit in and wail their sad stories to the captive audiences.
Claudette Miller is one of those figures. Raised in the sixties, singing do-woops on the corner, and praising God on Sunday's in the church choir, Claudette began to color her voice and her experience's that came from the times she was raised in, bittersweet stories that became "the Blues". She received her first opportunity to portray her talent on the stage with the late "Albert King". Claudette Miller holds her audience with a gutsy and gritty sound that spoils innocent ideas of happy love. As you walk through the trails and pathways of her sometimes amusing stories, you casually become entertained like reading a good book. Her ability to keep the audience focused, speaks well to her tenure studying under the earlier mentioned blues greats.
It has always been Claudette's dream to sing "the Blues"; although she has sung, and has included jazz pieces in her repertoire like the great Diana Washington, Nancy Wilson, she pulls out all the punches, allowing her gifted sounds to weave the story, and her phrasing to praise the hook's that locks you into the finish.
Here lately you can find her holding court with "The Tenry Johns Review recently opening up for such greats as Ronnie Baker Brooks in 2006. Realizing that she is uniquely blessed to be performing on stages with artist who have won their star on the walk of fame; Claudette Miller continues to prepare herself for her growing success. With an upcoming release of her first Debut CD, "All In Time" it is inevitable that her infectious style and talent will reach a greater audience.

He has played with such greats as Staple Singer, Buddy Guy just to name a few has just released his first debut CD "LIFE". Albert Anderson real estate broker by day and a guitar guru at night plays blues with that jazz flavor and smoothness that comes from years of improvising. Tenry Johns the king kong rocker has just released his third CD and the bass man has a unique stlye of rocking soul music that will make you pat your feet and want to get up and dance

Head, WIRF Perinatal Research Laboratories
Research Contribution
Matt completed his undergraduate studies in New Zealand at Otago University. He holds PhDs in Medicine (UNSW) and Education (UWA), and completed postdoctoral training at Oxford University with the support of an MRC Career Development Fellowship before being recruited to Perth in 2009 to lead the Foundation's sheep-based perinatal research program. Matt is now an Associate Professor (Research), in the UWA Division of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
His research interests in perinatology are focused on improving outcomes for preterm infants, and include anti-inflammatory and antibiotic therapies, antenatal steroid treatment optimisation, and the development of an artificial uterine life support platform for extremely preterm infants.
Matt's work has been supported by a range of national and international agencies including the NHMRC, the NIH, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Royal Society, the Ramaciotti Foundations and the Financial Markets Foundation for Children. Matt also works closely with a number of industry partners including GSK, Chiesi S.p.A and Nipro Corporation.
Matt has published 65 peer-reviewed papers in the past five years alone. His work has significantly advanced our understanding of how the fetus responds to infectious and inflammatory insults, how susceptibility to infection changes with gestation, and how common prematurity-associated infections can be targeted with antibiotic agents.
Working with collaborators in the United States, his antenatal steroids studies have shown that current dosing strategies are likely excessive and demonstrated how modulated dosing can be used to deliver optimal preterm lung maturation.
Working in collaborators in Japan, Matt's studies with the artificial uterine life support platform for extremely preterm infants have generated national and international interest and are presently in an advanced phase of pre-clinical development.
Matt also maintains an active interest in higher education, and has made a significant contribution to the empirical-based development of learning systems in doctoral education.

Accessing veterans' records
November 10, 2011 April 9, 2020 by textmessageguest, posted in Genealogy, Military Records, Records Reference and Research
One of the most frequent kinds of research requests we receive concerns gaining access to military veterans' service records. To do our part to commemorate Veterans Day tomorrow, we've asked Theresa Fitzgerald of the Archives' National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis to write a post on everything you ever wanted to know about accessing veterans' records.
You can track a military member's journey in the fight to defend freedom and hold documents that tell stories of courage and valor. The National Archives at St. Louis is the repository of millions of military personnel, health, and medical records of veterans of all services during the late 19th and 20th century. In 2004, the government designated Official Military Personnel Files (OMPFs) as permanent historical records. This expanded public access to records filled with a wealth of family history. You can access these records, after the legal transfer from the Department of Defense (DoD) into NARA's holdings, 62 years following a military service member's discharge, retirement, or death in service.
Though military personnel files constitute its core holdings, the National Archives at St. Louis is the repository for numerous related series such as the Selective Service System registration cards and classification ledgers that document the military draft in force between 1940 and 1975; Army General Courts Martial case files (including an index for records dated 1911-1976, and accessing records dated 1940-1976, with all records dated through 1917 in our Washington, DC building and those dated approximately 1918-1939 in our College Park, Maryland facility); and trade cards describing specific aspects of civilian work in Naval shipyards during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The holdings also include personnel files of individuals employed by the Civil Service such as the Civilian Conservation Corps, Works Progress Administration, Panama Canal Commission, Department of State, U.S. Customs Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs and several hundred additional government departments.

MILITARY PERSONNEL RECORDS
Archival Records – The National Archives at St. Louis maintains Official Military Personnel Files (OMPFs) of those servicemen that were discharged, retired, or deceased 62 years from the current date. These records belong to the National Archives and become archival 62 years after the service member's separation from the military. This is a rolling date. For example, the current year (2011) minus 62 years is 1949. Therefore, records with a discharge date of 1949 and prior are archival and open to the public. Additionally, various records of Persons of Exceptional Prominence (PEP) are also archival and open to the public. Requests for archival records do NOT require a signature.
In 1973, the National Personnel Records Center had a disastrous fire that destroyed 80% of our Army personnel records from 1912 to 1960 and 75% of our Air Force records from 1947 to 1964, with names alphabetically after Hubbard, James E. Please keep in mind when requesting a record from these particular service branches that the record may be fire related and require preservation treatment. If this is the case, it will take several weeks to either receive a copy of the record, if requested by mail, or view the record in the archival research room, if visiting our facility.
Non-Archival Records – Records of individuals who left service less than 62 years ago are not yet archival. These non-archival records are maintained at the National Personnel Records Center, but remain in the legal custody of the military service departments. A non-archival OMPF is open to the veteran, the next of kin, or to a third-party requester who has the veteran's written authorization. Under the provisions of FOIA, the general public may only obtain limited information from these records. Requests for non-archival records must be signed and dated.
A request for a military personnel record, archival or non-archival, should include:
The veteran's complete name used in service
Dates of service
For archival or non-archival requests, submit a letter or Standard Form 180 with the above information to:
National Personnel Records Center
1 Archives Drive
Or, to request an archival or non-archival record via eVetRecs, visit our website and follow the steps provided.
Official Military Personnel Files, as well as auxiliary records, may also be viewed by visiting our research rooms. Archival and non-archival records are accessed in separate Research Rooms. If you would like to view both archival and non-archival records, you must schedule an appointment with each Research Room by calling 314-801-0850 for the Archival Research Room, or 314-801-0800 for the Non-Archival Research Room.

Excellent post. Might want to add a tag for Stan Musial.
Robin Waldman says:
Done, Daria – thanks for the catch!
Robin Davis says:
The link to eVetRecs is broken — make sure you have the http:// in there!
Otherwise, very helpful post. I'm excited to look for my grandfather's and great-uncles' records!
Richard Quick says:
Do you interact with the Library Of Congress' Military History project? Do they access your records to fill out missing info?

Synoptic Gospels and John's Gospel
There are four Gospel accounts. The so called synoptic gospels are the: gospel according to Matthew, gospel according to Mark, gospel according to Luke. The fourth gospel account is attributed to another of Christ's disciples, named John.
The synoptic gospels are so named because of the definition of synoptic.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines synoptic as: "Presenting an account from the same point of view." [1]
Despite being labeled synoptic, these gospels are not necessarily presented from the same point of view.
Let me explain. There were literally hundreds of people observing the 911 disaster. Each observer had a somewhat different perspective of the World Trade Center collapse. The perspective of a person in one of the towers was vastly different than that of a person in a nearby office building.
The perspective of a witness at ground level is different than that of a first responder. All these viewpoints differed one from another, yet each person was viewing the same unfolding event.
If each of the four above witnesses of the tragedy were to present a written account of what they saw, none of the accounts would be exactly the same.
Similarly the four gospel writers recorded their accounts of what Jesus Christ said and did. Yet each gospel is different. So why is the gospel according to Matthew, gospel according to Mark, gospel according to Luke, referred to as synoptic?
It may have something to do with the fact that the gospel of John is markedly different from the other three.
John's gospel is primarily concerned with the Deity of Christ. But the synoptic gospels primarily showcase the humanity of Christ. In this sense the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are synoptic, or "present the same view".
But the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are vastly different one from the other.
For example, Luke is the only gentile and a physician. His gospel has detailed descriptions like that of a clinician. Luke's gospel presents Christ as sort of an every man. Luke portrays him as the most human of humans. Luke's intended audience would seem to be all non-Jews all over the world.
Matthew, a Jew, was a tax collector for the Roman government. As such he was a very unpopular man among the Jews who were under the heel of a tough Roman occupation. Matthew's gospel presents Christ as the long awaited, anticipated, prophesied King who would restore the Kingdom of David. The word "Kingdom" is mentioned 57 times in the gospel of Matthew. Matthew's intended audience would seem to be the Jewish disapora.
Mark, whose sir name is John Mark was a protégé of Peter, and was likely a Jew. Mark's gospel is punctuated with short, choppy sentences. The word "immediately" occurs 27 times. The word "servant" appears 5 times. Marks intended audience would seem to be the Romans.
J. Vernon McGee compares Ancient Romans to modern day Americans in attitude and temperament. Thus Jesus is presented as a servant of His Father, God; and decisive man of action to an action oriented people.
So the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and John, are synoptic in that all present the humanity of Christ. But the vantage point from which each sees and describes the humanity of Christ is vastly different.

My infant son, now 12 weeks, was born full-term weighing only 4 lb., 7 oz. and hyperglycemic with a blood sugar in the high 300�s. He was immediately transferred to a nearby Children�s Hospital NICU [Neonatal Intensive Care Unit]. During that time, he received a one-time, minute does of Regular insulin which shot his sugar down to 20. After that one shot, his sugars stabilized over the next nine days and he was discharged. The thought was that this one dose was all that was needed to "jump-start" his system.
At 8 weeks of age, his cardiologist (he also has a heart murmur) became suspicious of his slow weight gain and discovered his sugar level was 485. Tests revealed that his sugar had been elevated for some time. He has since been receiving insulin twice daily.
Despite these high sugars, he has never spilled ketones into his urine. Our current diagnosis is "neonatal diabetes." Apparently this is very rare. According to the scant literature available, it may be transient or it may turn into Type I diabetes.
Have you ever come across a similar case? Any information regarding this diagnosis would be extremely helpful.
This is an uncommon, but recognised story. Diabetes in the newborn period may be transient and some of these cases are associated with chromosomal changes. Those that are permanent may be linked to agenesis (lack of development) or dysgenesis (faulty development) of the beta cells in the islets that produce the insulin. Some are again associated with chromosomal changes and in some the exocrine as well as the endocrine pancreas fails to develop normally. This might be an important possibility to think about if your baby seems to have any digestive problems or is 'failing to thrive' because it is easy to treat. Autoimmune Type 1A Diabetes does not seem to occur at this age.


I'm super excited about my new Leica Q! I just unboxed it this evening, and even though I've only taken a few shots inside I can already tell we're going to be good friends. Enjoy some Saffy at f1.7 … because why should anything be in focus!
