Dr. Wilson Shafer
Contact ⇒ Wilson.Shafer@Asbury.edu
Dr. Shafer was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky. He attended the University of Kentucky to pursue chemistry, but ended up in music after graduating with a degree in chemistry. After he graduated, he moved to Nashville for a brief period of time.
In 2004, Dr. Shafer entered into the master's program at Eastern Kentucky University Under Dr. Smith. Dr. Shafer's research was in collaboration with the USDA in developing a method on an LC –ESI -MS/MS for verification and quantification of Ergot alkaloids; a vaso-restrictive compound produced by endophytes that survive in a symbiotic relationship with tall fescue. He defended his MS in Chemistry in 2007 at EKU.
After this, Dr. Shafer began his career at Center for Ap plied Energy Research (CAER) at the University of Kentucky under Dr. Burtron Davis. In 2011, after working full-time for 4 years, under the work of Dr. Davis, he was able to once again attend school to complete his Ph.D. part-time, while working full-time. He defended his dissertation to graduate in 2015 with a Ph.D. in Chemistry – specifically in catalysis. During his time at CAER, Dr. Shafer focus was on industrial catalysis; e.g., water gas shift (WGS), aromatization, Fischer-Tropsch (FT) and carbon dioxide utilization. In 2017, Dr. Shafer accepted an inorganic chemistry faculty position at Asbury University, where he plans to continue his research itch. Given the opportunities of a small liberal Arts University, Dr. Shafer has paired with Dr. Coulliette to build a collaborative research group.
Dr. Shafer's Curriculum Vitae
Some educational fun…
The Science of Color
How Is Silver, Silver?
It's Chemistry!
In 2004, Dr. Shafer, and his better half were married and now have two wonderful kids. During his downtime, Will loves to play music (bass), read (mainly catalysis or history of catalysis), and play with his kids.
My life has happened in chapters, all of which ended in a series of No's. When I thought I was going to be a youth pastor, I never got the call. The summer we moved to Nashville and I was convinced I was going to do music for the rest of my life, God shut the door. I then moved back to Lexington and re-positioned my life back toward chemistry, to become a full-time researcher. Once I graduated with my degree in 2015 and I could be a full-time researcher on paper, God again said "No." However the door opened at Asbury, where Dr. Shafer is currently, and now has the ability to research, teach, and play music.
My God is Impossible; an impossible God will simply not be observed. Never the less, my science career, coupled with my faith, many would consider an oxymoron. Yet, for myself, I love the hunt for an understanding, the pursuit for the scientific unknown, simply because it allows me to have a greater appreciation of The Artist through His breath-taking artwork.
During Dr. Shafer's second year of undergraduate studies, he played in an aggressive acoustic style band called Wake. The band's adage was Ephesians 5:14, "This is why it is said: Wake up, oh sleeper, and Christ will shine upon you." The band took off and over the next five years we toured all over Kentucky, parts of Ohio, and Illinois sharing the Gospel of Christ. We were blessed to produce two full albums (Turning Pictures and Blackberry Winter) and even play at larger venues including second and third stages of Ichthus, and Winter Blitz. The Band eventually changed their name to Cash Dansby, produced one more full album and moved to Nashville. Once in Nashville, Dr. Shafer felt called to head back into Chemistry and move away from music. During this time, Dr. Shafer was able to still play in some additional groups that also produced some albums – Something Autumn with his last band Simple Drive. Currently, Dr. Shafer still plays and is slowly working a few additional projects as music is just as much in his life as is chemistry.

John accompanied Nita Ambani, founder-chairperson of Reliance Foundation to witness the finals of the inter-school girl's football match played between Nongkrem Presbyterian Secondary School and Nongkrem Higher Secondary School at Jawaharlal Nehru Sports Complex at the Polo Grounds.
Shillong, Oct 1 (IANS) Bollywood actor and owner of Indian Super League (ISL) franchise NorthEast United FC, John Abraham on Monday said that Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma has promised to help his football club look for land here to start the club's academy. NorthEast United Draws With FC Goa ISL 2018-19 Video Highlights: Thriller in Guwahati Ends up 2-2.
"I spoke to the chief minister, Conrad Sangma and he is going to help me look out for land so that I can start my academy for NEUFC here as well so I am excited about it so he's going to do anything for me before the 2022 National Games," John told reporters. Meghalaya will be hosting the National Games 2022 coinciding with the 50th year of the creation of the state.
John accompanied Nita Ambani, founder-chairperson of Reliance Foundation to witness the finals of the inter-school girl's football match played between Nongkrem Presbyterian Secondary School and Nongkrem Higher Secondary School at Jawaharlal Nehru Sports Complex at the Polo Grounds.

Sangma, his wife Mehtab Agitok Sangma, Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Banteidor Lyngdoh Mawphlang, All India Football Federation Vice President Larsing Ming Sawyan were also present. "Depend on when he meets me next, when we can sit and have the meeting identify a place to start an academy. The idea is to train children - boys and girls - educate them, boarding, housing, lodging and everything so it's a serious business," John said.
"The (academy) idea is to open it up all over but we have got one where they are starting in Guwahati, now Shillong and we want to do something in Imphal, Aizawl and so on and so forth and look everywhere else to all the seven sisters and the one brother," he added. On his club's partnership with Shillong United FC, John simply said, "that is over" and refused to elaborate further.
Asked about his expectation about NorthEast United FC performance in the Indian Super League, John Abraham said: "Last year was very disappointing I was sad we had to let our coach go in the middle of the season we are hoping for a better season. Honestly, if you ask me I have zero expectation I just wanna go out there and play. Let's play well and then let's see. It's easy for me to save things for you all to perform on the field."
"I think what Ambani (Nita) is doing through Reliance Foundation Youth Sports is absolutely fantastic. It required for private enterprise to come and do this and its fantastic and we are really grateful to her for investing into the youth and into sports for that is the future of the country."

Exclusive: Aja Naomi King Is a New L'Oreal Paris Spokesperson
Viola Davis and Shonda Rhimes had the best reaction to the news.
By Chloe Hall
COURTESY OF L'OREAL
A beauty guru, murderer, and law student walk into a bar. The punchline is that it's just one person: Aja Naomi King, who plays Michaela Pratt on ABC's How To Get Away With Murder. Yes, she's an actress who makes up one fraction of the fictitious law student group that seems to keep accidentally committing those doggone murders with the help of Viola Davis' character Annalise Keating, but she also knows a thing or two about beauty. To put it in 2017 terms, if she decided to give up acting and start a YouTube channel, we would all be scrolling down to like and subscribe. "I've loved makeup for such a long time," explains King. "I really got into it because it's that quiet time you sit with yourself and make yourself your own work of art. It's really beautiful."
Hope you enjoyed #HTGAWM ... we're just getting started  #TGIT
A post shared by Aja King (@ajanaomi_king) on Sep 29, 2017 at 5:50am PDT
Now, ELLE.com can exclusively announce, Aja Naomi King is the newest spokesperson for L'Oreal Paris. The talented actress will join fellow L'Oreal ladies Elle Fanning, Blake Lively, Maria Borges, and Susan Sarandon.
Ahead of the first kickoff campaign with Aja for the True Match Lumi Collection, we jumped on the phone to talk beauty, Viola Davis and Shonda Rhimes, being seen, and beauty secrets from the set of How To Get Away With Murder. Read on to learn about the new beautiful talented #lorealista.
Congrats on the new L'Oreal Paris spokesperson role! What's it like to join the ranks of Julianne Moore, Susan Sarandon, Naomi Watt, Camila Cabello, Blake Lively, and Maria Borges?
Oh, my gosh, it's amazing. I'm so honored. All of those women evoke such elegance and style and they all have qualities of effortless beauty around them. To be put in that group of women and be thought of in that way, I'm just so immensely, overwhelmingly happy and honored to be counted amongst them.
You're on a series that allows black girls and women to see themselves represented and seen on TV, do you think that this is a valuable extension to that?
Yes, immensely valuable. Awhile ago Shonda Rhimes was inducted in the TV Hall of Fame and she said something that was so—it just hit me in such a way, thinking about how L'Oreal was allowing me to join the ranks of these incredible women. What she said was: "You cannot be what you cannot see." It's so true. When you look at a global brand like L'Oreal, to be a part of that vision, and to be put out there in the world for other young women to see me and see a reflection of themselves promoted in that way. It's so powerful because it really sends the message of look at all the wonderful things we can do.
What other valuable lessons have you learned from Shonda? How did Viola react to the news of your spokesperson role?
When it comes to Viola, she always makes me so happy, because any little thing that happens to me, she is just the biggest supporter and cheerleader. It's really wonderful. She's so supportive of me getting any kind of attention or recognition for anything. What's so great about her she is always is able to make it so clear, in a really impactful way, that these opportunities, they are rare things, and they don't always come around. To be able to be granted one and chosen in that way, just the value in that. She said these aren't the things that were possible when she was younger. When she looks at me, she is like, "Look what you can do and what you are showing other people and be grateful for that because it's an immense responsibility." I do take it so seriously because someone else is going to see it and they are going to say to themselves, "Wow, that's me." I see myself in that person and now I see exactly what I'm capable of and there are no limits.
To me that's the most powerful thing, growing up and seeing all the things that Shonda Rhimes has done. We've all been taught there are no limits. The stories you can tell and the impact you can tell and the way you affect people's lives on a daily basis and create empathy and make them feel beautiful. When you put a women like Viola Davis on the screen and say, "This is our beauty icon, this is beautiful." The world stops and says, "Yes, we've been waiting for this."
No matter what happens in tonight's episode, we still love each other! #HTGAWM ❤❤❤
A post shared by Aja King (@ajanaomi_king) on Oct 19, 2017 at 3:33pm PDT
You gave a wonderful speech at Essence Women in Hollywood about your personal struggle with self doubt. "My inner critic is strong, but I know that I am stronger." Does this do anything to quiet those doubts?
I definitely think this does that. There is a voice inside of my head that is trying to convince me that I'm not good enough and that I don't deserve to be here. So courage is required. The courage to decide that I have a voice and need to do what I love. To believe that this opportunity is not wasted on me. To own the fact that I am worthy.
Who are some of your beauty icons that inspire you?
I always think of when I was younger my mother showed me the movie Lady Sings the Blues with Diana Ross. You should see that movie. She plays Billie Holiday in the film. Growing up I loved listening to Billie Holiday because her work is amazing and she was a black woman coming up in a time when it was difficult to amass that kind of opportunity. Diana Ross's portrayal of her really gave insights into both of these women.
I've always kind of leaned more into looking at those older beauty icons, who really had to break all the boundaries to prove that they were beautiful. To have dark skin and curly hair was beautiful too. I look to them and still look to women like Eartha Kitt and Dorothy Dandridge who were so groundbreaking in their beauty.
Your first collaboration with L'Oreal is the True Match Lumi Collection! What are some of your favorite products? What's in your beauty bag right now?
True Match Lumi Glotion. It's my super go-to for my face. It is so perfect, especially on days off when I want to try and take care of my skin a bit better and not put too much on. I put that on and I'm just illuminated.
L'Oreal True Match Lumi Glotion Natural Glow Enhancer, $14.99, ulta.com
Of course, I have to have my L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara as well. It just layers on so great. I feel like it can fit with everything, whether you're going for a little or a lot, depending on how you apply the mascara, it can go a long way.

Let's talk about HTGAWM. Are you similar to your character Michaela Pratt? How does her beauty look differ from your everyday look?
I'm very similar to my character at this point, other than the whole murdering stuff. One of the things I really love about my character is that a little murder has never stopped Michaela from putting on makeup. Michaela wears makeup like she's about to walk on a red carpet. I love, love, love that. I've been fighting for years now for my character to wear a lip color and finally this year they conceded and allowed it happen.
It seems like the law students get into some weird situations. What's the most dramatic look you did on the show, how was that done?
The weirdest makeup was a no makeup but a lot of blood scene. I actually posted a video of this on Instagram. The crew were just flinging blood on my face. I mean, fake blood.
When we were shooting the scene, the crew had this catapult and a man sat there with a bowl of fake blood. When the gunshot went off in the scene, he let it go flying at me. It gets pretty insane over here.
Scene Prep!!! There will be blood  #HTGAWM Winter Finale Tonight!!!
A post shared by Aja King (@ajanaomi_king) on Nov 16, 2017 at 4:45pm PST
Can you any beauty secrets from HTGAWM that will give us hints about what's to come?
Hints are so dangerous. We are still filming so I need to remember the last thing that happened because I am not getting into trouble today. I'll say this much, Michaela is going to get her glow back. Nothing can hold her back and she cares about how she presents herself to the world.

Cycle Show & eBike Festival announce 2021 London spring dates
Posted onAug 6, 2020 at 4:17 PM
Updated onUpdated on Aug 6, 2020 at 4:17 PM
Alexandra Palace will host the Cycle Show in April next year, after nine years at the NEC in Birmingham. The Cycle Show is teaming up with the London eBike Festival – the dedicated electric bike show – for the weekend of 16th-18th April 2021. The first eBike Festival was due to be held in May, but cancelled due to Covid-19.
The organisers say the show is "set to be a huge festival of cycling" with 11,000sqm of exhibition space inside, plus a demo 'village' to try out a large range of bikes within the 196 acres of parkland outside. Alexandra Palace's outside space offers more than four miles of tarmac and woodland trails where show visitors will get to try out everything from folding bikes to e-gravel bikes.
Director of the two shows, Nicola Meadows said: "The launch of London eBike Festival and the 2020 edition of the Cycle Show were both cancelled due to Covid-19, however, the break in the event calendar has given us an opportunity to reimagine the events. This will enable us to deliver an incredibly exciting new format utilising the excellent outdoor space offered by Alexandra Palace, as well as providing the perfect environment to showcase the best brands in the industry.
"Cycling has seen one of its biggest-ever boom times during recent months and the London eBike Festival and The Cycle Show are perfectly timed and located to engage a whole new audience of enthusiastic cyclists, along with delivering an exhilarating event for those with a long-held passion for the sport. We're looking forward to delivering a family-friendly festival of cycling against the backdrop of one of the most stunning panoramic views of the capital's skyline."

Q: How to limit update_layout margins only to one subplot in Plotly / Dash? In a 2 row, 1 column layout, the main plot is positioned above sub.
    fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=df.index, y=main_data, name='main',
                             line=dict(color='white', width=1), row=1, col=1)

    fig.add_trace(go.Bar(x=df.index, y=sub_data, name='sub', row=2, col=1)

When I use update_layout as follows:
    fig.update_layout(height=400, margin=dict(t=30, b=15, l=15), pad=20)

the padding is applied to both main and sub.
Is there a way to have padding apply only to main?

A: fig.update_layout() applies only to the attributes of the entire figure, and that's why you can't address attributes of subplots with fig.update_layout(row = 2, col = 2) like you can with fig.update_traces(row, col). So depending on what you'd like to achieve here, you're going to have to adjust the appearance of your subplots through specs and / or row_heights and column_widths in your make_subplots() call.
Here's an example using both approaches:

Complete code:
from plotly.subplots import make_subplots
import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = make_subplots(
    rows=5, cols=2,
    column_widths = [0.7, 0.3],
    row_heights = [0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.1, 0.1],
    specs=[[{}, {"rowspan": 2}],
           [{}, None],
           [{"rowspan": 2, "colspan": 2}, None],
           [None, None],
           [{}, {}]],
#     print_grid=True
)

fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[1, 2], y=[1, 2], name="(1,1)"), row=1, col=1)
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[1, 2], y=[1, 2], name="(1,2)"), row=1, col=2)
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[1, 2], y=[1, 2], name="(2,1)"), row=2, col=1)
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[1, 2], y=[1, 2], name="(3,1)"), row=3, col=1)
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[1, 2], y=[1, 2], name="(5,1)"), row=5, col=1)
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[1, 2], y=[1, 2], name="(5,2)"), row=5, col=2)

fig.update_layout(height=600, width=600, title_text="specs examples")
fig.show()

Do you have a piece of furniture that has been with you your entire adult life? I bought this dresser, part of a bedroom suite, after moving out of my parent's house in 1978. It has had a few incarnations over the years, the last being painted high gloss white. Grown tired of the gloss, it's been on my makeover to do list for a few years. Thanks to this month's Furniture Fixer Upper challenge, I'm happy to share how I took my vintage 9-drawer dresser from glossy to farmhouse charm.
Today is Furniture Fixer Upper Day where myself and five talented furniture painting friends come together to breath new life into six pieces of furniture. You can find links to the makeovers at the bottom of this post.
Last month I shared three examples of how to completely transform furniture with new legs. And the month previous, an Antique Empire Dresser makeover inspired by the holidays.
But as I mentioned earlier, this month's challenge was just the motivation I needed to FINALLY tackle this much-needed dresser makeover. You can see what I did with the matching hutch a few years ago in my Small Vintage Bedroom Armoire makeover post.
Here is what the dresser looked like before the makeover, previously painted with gloss latex paint in Cloud White.
The top, pictured below, had several stains that couldn't be removed no matter how hard I tried.
The glossy finish needed to be roughed up to give the paint some bite. The paint was too hard to sand by hand so I brought out the big guns and used a mouse sander. For tips on prepping furniture, visit my How To Prep Furniture For Chalk Paint tutorial.
To paint the dresser I used my favorite stubby handle angled brush and two coats of Paris Grey Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™, a light grey that matches the bedding in our master bedroom. I'm on a mission to use up the paint in the workshop and had just enough to complete this makeover - literally to the last drop.
The drawer fronts, the center portion of the top, and skirt were washed with Fusion Raw Silk Mineral Paint using my handy square brush.
For a light wash of paint, the key is to keep your brush damp and use very little paint. A spray bottle on the mist setting will be your best friend. Start by misting your paintbrush to get it damp and then dip just the tips into the paint. Paint with long brush strokes from the center outward toward the edges. When you feel some resistance, lightly mist the brush again (pointing the spray bottle away from the furniture) to thin and keep the paint moving.
I know the distressed finish on this dresser isn't for everyone but it works with the French Country style of our master bedroom. With 150 grit and 220 grit sandpaper, I distressed along the edges to reveal both the grey chalk paint & glossy white underneath plus some of the original wood.
To protect the chalk paint I applied clear wax with a small wax brush. Another option, if the top of the dresser was used daily for applying makeup or doing my hair would be to apply a more durable water repellent clear coat.
Here is a look at the top of the dresser after a wash of white and distressed for that farmhouse charm.
You can see the dental trim on the front also was washed with white and distressed.
If the drawers have resistance when sliding them in, help them along with wax! I made my own wax puck for this purpose by melting paraffin wax in a mini crockpot that I keep in the shop for crafting. Just rub the wax over the wood slides and the drawers will slide in smooth as butter.
I kept the lovely glass handles from the last makeover because they echo the glass lamp base and other clear glass elements in the room. I replaced the matching glass knobs with these pretty gold ones found in my stash instead.
I found them at an antique store on Vancouver Island many years ago and put them away for that perfect furniture makeover one day. Here I had the perfect piece of furniture right under my nose all along.
The distressing is a little more than I usually do but it will look amazing with our 5-panel door headboard.
And there you have it, FarmGlam, a unique blend of farmhouse style with gold and crystal glam!
I love how the dresser turned out. The sparkle of the crystal and gold is the perfect touch. Thanks for sharing at the Snickerdoodle Create Bake Make Party.
Thank you Debra, it looks great in the master bedroom!
I love what you have accomplished it gives it a whole new look and feel. The handles are wonderful too. I would love to have you share your blog and projects on my Friday Features party. It would be fun to feature some of your projects in the future. Hope you have a great weekend!
Thank you so much Karren, I'm glad you like the new look 😊 Wishing you a great weekend too!
I love the way wax feels on painted furniture. I used it on my kitchen table that was once a 1970s dark brown monstrosity. The dresser looks great.
Thank you so much Kristie 😊 My preference is wax on painted furniture too. I bet your table looks amazing!

FMCSA seeks comment on proposed driver age pilot
The FMCSA is looking for comments on the training, qualification and safety issues that should be considered for this second pilot program. It is specifically looking for available safety data on 18- to 20-year-old drivers who operate commercial vehicles in intrastate commerce, where drivers this age are currently allowed to operate.
This is an effort years in the making. The FMCSA said it was petitioned to consider this change as far back as October 2, 2000 when the Truckload Carriers Association asked the agency to consider such a pilot. The FMCSA held a public comment period the next year and received 1,600 comments, with 90% of them opposed to the idea on the basis younger drivers lack the maturity for the job, the agency explained in its Federal Register posting.
"None explained how interstate drivers under 21 would diminish safety when most States have concluded that intrastate drivers under 21 do not do so," FMCSA said of the 2001 comments. "Very few truck drivers and motor carriers commented, but most of them also opposed the pilot program." The petition was denied in 2003.

Ayrton Senna's Memory Honored with Documentary
In memory of the 20th anniversary of the passing of Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna, Polyphony Digital have formally unveiled their plans to support the Ayrton Senna Institute, developed in close cooperation with Senna's family.
Starting with the launch of a new Senna Tribute website, Polyphony Digital will be releasing special content throughout the month of May to commemorate the life of one of the most important figures in the history of motorsport.
To begin, a new short film titled "Ayrton's Wish" has been created by KAZ director Tamir Moscovici, which describes the history and purpose of the Ayrton Senna Institute, and documents the passion with which his family pursues the organization's goals to make the best of Ayrton's memory.
In the film, Kazunori Yamauchi describes the great sense of responsibility he feels in supporting the Institute. Bianca Senna, Ayrton's niece, emphasized how the financial support of Gran Turismo will help the foundation achieve their objectives:
"To the Ayrton Senna Institute and to the Senna family, it's really gratifying to have this partnership with PlayStation, through the game Gran Turismo 6, precisely in the year 2014, when we celebrate the 20th year legacy of our beloved Ayrton. The game, without a doubt, is a very nice way to share his values to the new generations, as well as renew and immortalize the memory of this worldwide idol in an innovative approach. Furthermore, it contributes to an initiative that annually brings a high quality public education to 2 million children and youth in all regions of Brazil."

Self-promotion is an important part of an author's job. (And it's no secret this is the thing I dislike the most about writing.) Which isn't necessarily a good or bad thing, but just a reality of the publishing landscape. But I've come to realize that we writers aren't the only folks who struggle with self-promotion.
Maybe it's endemic to all creative endeavors.
When you strip out the highly successful folks, those statistical outliers who populate the high energy tail of the distribution—the J. K. Rowlings, the Bela Flecks, the John Jude Palencars of the world—you find the bulk of the population is just regular Joes trying to get by as best they can.
His name was Steve Weingart. I thought at first that perhaps he was on his way to attend Conquest, since he was flying in the night before and headed to the same hotel. But no. In fact the hotel was just a stopover for Steve during months of touring. That led to a discussion of the similarities between how writers and musicians struggle to build their careers.
Of course, if I'd had the tiniest smidgen of a clue, I would have known immediately that Steve was being a little bit humble. Once I went online I found that Steve is an acclaimed musician who has played with just about everybody under the sun.
Even so, he spends months at a time on the road. In the US, in Europe, in Japan. Steve's keyboard skills are in very high demand among touring musicians of certain styles. (What those in the writing world might call genres?) And Steve isn't flying to these gigs in his own personal G5. Dude was sitting right next to me in the cattle coach class seats. And when he's not flying all over the world, or sleeping in a van as his mates drive all night to the site of their next gig, he's trying to spread the word about his work in other ways. Social networking, selling CDs on his website, doing whatever he can to keep his name and music in front of people.
I realized that this was really very similar to the situation in which many writers find themselves. I'm going to as many conventions as I can manage—all in the hope that I'll make a good impression on a handful (at best) of folks. And when I'm not doing that I'm trying to write, trying to get more "product" out there, in the hopes it will find its way to interested readers. And I've even been posting to the blog with something approaching regularity the past couple of months. My absence from Facebook and Twitter is glaring and perhaps even self-destructive in this age of social networking. But I can only take so much online interaction every day. And I can't get myself motivated to try to shout above the noise. I'd rather spend my energy on other endeavors.
Even so... It was an interesting taxi ride. Here was a guy, by all outside accounts a very well-regarded and hardworking musician, and a generally pretty successful one at that, talking about how much of his energy goes to the simple problem of trying to get his name known to more people. Steve is an artist who has devoted his life to mastering a completely different endeavor from writing fiction, and yet it turns out we're struggling with the same thing.
Many writers are introverted. God knows I am. I do my best to be a personable and interesting guy. But it's hard. It's not something I do naturally. Or, frankly, very well. Promoting myself is a task that I dread and loathe. In a perfect world I'd be able to concentrate on stringing words together and the rest would take care of itself. But it's not a perfect world.
I take comfort in knowing that it's not just writers who shoulder this burden.
Or so most people quote Andy Warhol as saying. The actual quote (from a 1968 gallery showing catalog) is slightly different: "In the future, everybody will be world-famous for 15 minutes." When he spoke of it later, Warhol sometimes modified it to: "In the future, everyone will have the opportunity to be famous for 15 minutes." A bit of back-pedaling that perhaps reflected his anxiety over an approaching future? And later in life, after he wearied of being asked about the line, he changed it to a snarky: "In fifteen minutes, everybody will be famous." I ponder this quote, and how it morphed, fairly often. Because, I feel, it has been subsumed into our culture as a meme. It seems a whole internet-facilitated generation bears this meme. They believe without questioning that not only will they have an opportunity to be famous, but that they *must* be at least briefly famous or be failures as representative of their generation and as individuals. Only, sadly for them, several obstacles face them. One is having talent or skill, things traditionally associated with achieving a measure of fame. Another obstacle young people face is that they are but one of many -- with a whole generation seeking their 15 minutes at the same time, there is a lot of turbulence in the pipe. Right now *is* Andy Warhol's future. And sorry kids -- the 15 minutes have shrunk to 7. One worrisome result of this culture-wide bid for fame is a further blurring of the definitional lines between *fame* and *infamy*. Lack skill or talent? Do something outrageous, rude, or outrageously rude. Warhol was prescient, not only in the original quote but in all of its forms as it morphed. The opportunity to be famous is embodied in instantaneous world-wide communications. The existence of these communications has fueled the belief that it only takes 15 minutes to become famous. And why shouldn't they believe it? We see it over and over again -- people post a blog or a video that activates some mental switch in a threshold number of people and it "goes viral" and then we see it over and over again. Yes, kids, you really *can* become famous in 15 minutes. But it will last for only 7 and then you are back on the heap of ignominy/anonymity, the very fact that you have had their minutes making more minutes less likely. You beat the odds millions-to-one to get your face time; few people hit the lottery twice. So what does this gloomy observation mean for authors and other professionals for whom "fame" is a necessary part of a steady paycheck? I've spoken with quite a few authors about the need to self-promote and how they approach it. And there is a consensus with which I agree, a belief which approaches a philosophy, a philosophy which one hopes may counter the consensus reality described above. That belief/philosophy is: quality still counts, and persistence pays off. But they have to work together. Quality is not enough -- lots of quality out there, undiscovered. Persistence is required, to keep slipping the quality under people's noses. There is a temptation to not only exploit the media used by minute-seekers but to also adopt their tactics. This can be a slippery slope. There is in business a concept that many people ignore to their woe: If you cannot compete in a market, stay out of that market. A professional of quality *cannot* compete successfully with minute-seekers, for *success* would require that he become one of them. Far better to focus on competing with other people of quality, people in it for the haul beyond 7 minutes. Which is a much smaller subset of humanity, and (for anyone concerned with quality) a group one would rather be identified as a part of.
Unlike some of my fav OWW writers now authors (point, tickle, wave), I'm still floundering with many an excuse, including my inability to 'Let it go" and "move on". But the world of self promotion ) crosses social-genre like nothing else. More I read the more I go, "Whuu-aat?" Recently I read, "Fishing on the Edge" Mike Iconelli book (fishing is another passion of mine). And half the book is devoted to self promotion. Here though there are tournaments in which you win you make it... We're talking Bass fishing. Bass Fishing!!!! Then there's an older book; Mick Foley's "Have a Nice Day:a Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks". Professional Wrestling!!! At least this kind of self promotion is a little more truthful to the whole promo logic... You work real hard, you skimp and bleed and eventually you will be recognize by a heirarchy who write the paychecks and give out a chance at the "seven minutes" of fame. What's the difference between being a middle man or a star? How many bumps your willing to take. Its better than the music biz where threats to top stars are given contracts to prevent them from challenging. From my view ontop of the redwoods, it seems that writers are somewhere between Musicians and Professional wrestlers... maybe more like the pro-bass fisherman-- hahaha. I dread the prospect of the self-promotion days.... But first i need to take the bumps.
I couldn't have said it better. Or half as thoughtfully. I cling to the hope that quality and persistence will prevail. But then I wonder how in the world I'm supposed to tackle that "quality" thing. (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance went far over my poor hollow head.) As for the minuters and the ceaseless hunt for 7 minutes of infamy, I commend Wondermark #697 to your attention. Fitting, no?
"Writers as pro bass fisherman": Fishermen hook with bait, writers hook with opening paragraphs. The Internet gave us Justin Bieber, who (with the help of handlers) makes sure he's everywhere despite being just another pretty face. He waltzed into the Grammys expecting to be named Best New Artist but got blanked by Esparanza Spalding, a little-known jazz singer & bassist. Bieber's fans were outraged (as he was, I'd imagine), but is consensus enough to determine who gets to be famous? (I, like a lot of people, are unfamiliar with Ms. Spalding, but from the glimpses I've seen, she's definitely worth learning more about. Bieber? Meh.) We need more Spaldings and fewer Biebers.

The comparative analysis of metacognition is a pathway towards uncovering fundamental information about the evolution of mind. A substantial amount of research has been directed towards this goal in the last 15 years. However, progress in the comparative analysis of metacognition is threatened by conflicting views about the standards required to document metacognition in animals. Consequently, the goal of this chapter is to outline some ideas about what type of evidence is required to validate an animal model of metacognition. The first part of this chapter provides a brief review of examples of metacognition. The second part of this chapter analyses these experiments with respect to two types of hypotheses: the first proposal is that the subject has the capacity of metacognition; the second proposal is that the subject is not capable of metacognition but solves the problem using basic learning mechanisms. The next section outlines some examples of conflicting views about interpretation of metacognition experiments. The chapter concludes by recommending the use of simulations from computational models of proposed psychological processes (i.e. metacognition and non-metacognition) to determine if a particular pattern of data may be explained by metacognition or alternative hypotheses. This approach may be used to increase our confidence that putative evidence of metacognition is indeed based on the capacity of metacognition.

Unwitting or deliberate? Debate rages over models' revealing acts
Ha Anh's (right) and Bebe Pham's "moment of revelation" in Diamond Night show
When the exposure of Janet Jackson's breast during a Superbowl show in 2004 set off far-reaching ripples
including the spawning of words and phrases like Nipplegate and "wardrobe malfunction," it did not cross US borders in any significant way.
Shortly after, a BBC News report quoted a Syracuse University professor of television studies as saying: "I know many people in other countries are scratching their heads and thinking, "˜What in the world is the big fuss over there?'"
However, six years on, Nipplegate is still lapping at Vietnamese shores, triggering further spasms of breast beating and head scratching.
Early this month, popular model Bebe Pham was strutting her stuff on the catwalk in an evening gown glittering with gemstones, appropriately enough for an event called Diamond Night, when the inappropriate happened. The gown slipped, baring Pham's bosom for a split- second (or two) that was stretched much, much longer as the image received a million hits on the Internet.
With several past scandals attracting charges that upcoming models, actors and singers were adopting the any-publicity-isgood-publicity maxim, Pham was quick to proclaim her innocence. She said that she had felt nothing amiss when she tested the gown backstage half-an-hour before the show began.
"It must have been the heavy ornamental gemstones attached to the top of the dress that made it slip. When I tried on the dress earlier, I felt it fit well, so I did not ask the designer to make any adjustment. But when I performed many moves on the stage..." Furthermore, she explained, whenever she wore topless gowns she also donned a special bra, just in case.
Pham said she was surprised and sad that her "˜moment of revelation' was flashed on the Internet so many times. It was the first time in a career almost a decade long, spanning several national and international assignments that Bebe Pham was in trouble, with reports saying authorities were planning to study the incident and fine the parties concerned.
Given all the positive publicity she was getting from her participation in the historical TV series Huyen Su Thien Do that celebrates Hanoi's millennial anniversary, Pham took pains to stress that if she was seeking fame, she should have pulled such stunts years ago, not now. She said she was upset that her devotion to the TV series paled into insignificance in just a few seconds.
The same night, September 4, fuel was added to the fire as another leading model, Ha Anh, slipped up with a super-short black dress that did not cover her white panties. Like Pham, Ha Anh denied that this was a black and white case of self-promotion, a notion that gained credence when a model named T.V.A (abbreviated) mentioned in her blog that the model had rolled her dress up before singing.
On her Facebook page, Ha Anh said she was ashamed.
"I was too busy to check my costume. It is the truth. I will never wear a short blouse or skirt on stage anymore. I never want to live with a scandal. I am just one of the modern youths working hard to realize my dreams," she wrote.
Public reaction
Netizens apportioned blame on different stakeholders, with many saying Pham deserved their sympathy.
Thuy Nhien, an English teacher wrote to the VnExpress, saying that the topless moment should be blamed on Son's design that left nothing to the imagination.
"How can a woman wear that dress? It is too revealing and nearly shows off all the boobs. I wonder how the dress passed the censors," she fumed.
Another VnExpress reader, Vo Van, was bemused by the idea of an enquiry into the incident. How could concerned agencies determine whether the incidents were intentional or not, she wondered.
Organizers have since announced, after meeting with concerned agencies, that no fines will be levied over the sartorial incidents/accidents this time around.
In 2004, singers Ho Quynh Huong and Doan Trang were strongly reprimanded for their low-necked outfits when performing in the Sieu Mau Vietnam (Vietnam Supermodel) Contest. In 2008, organizers of the Dem Phong Cach (Stylish Night) were fined VND9 million for sartorial failings leading to "indecent' exposure.

The Harmonized Sales Tax, or HST, is a sales tax that is applied to most goods and services in a number of Canadian provinces: New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Prince Edward Island. It ranges from 13% in Ontario to 15% in other provinces and is composed of a provincial tax and a federal tax.
Exemptions to the HST
There are two types of exemptions for HST: direct exemptions and zero-rated goods and services. The difference is related to how businesses handle costs related to the exemptions, but as a consumer, you would not have to pay HST on items from either category.
Goods and services that are zero-rated from HST include:
Basic groceries, including meats, fish, cereals, dairy products, eggs, vegetables, coffee, tea. Some foods including snack foods, liquor, and carbonated beverages are charged HST.
Prescription drugs, but not any drugs available over-the-counter (OTC).
Goods and services that are directly exempt from HST include:
Residential resales of property that has been previously owned and used
Rental accommodations of longer than a month
Educational services that lead to a certificate or diploma or are required for a certain practice
Financial services such as bank fees
Legal aid services
Day-care services
There are special cases that are exempt from HST but are still taxed a provincial sales tax.
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Provincial Sales Tax (PST)
Other provinces in Canada do not use the HST and instead use a distinct Goods and Services Tax (GST) and/or Provincial Sales Tax (PST). Provinces with both a GST and PST or PST-equivalent include British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Quebec, and Manitoba. Quebec and Manitoba use the QST and RST respectively in lieu of a PST.
Some provinces and territories do not charge a PST. These include Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon.
History of Sales Taxes in Canada
To finance the First World War, Canada first introduced the Manufacturers' Sales Tax (MST) along with other sales taxes in 1920. The MST was charged at every stage of the manufacturing process, causing a negative cascading effect. In 1991, the government replaced the MST with a consumption value-added tax known as the GST. The series of reforms included a provision to prevent double-taxation with the ability of individuals to claim input tax credits (ITCs) on purchases. This change to the GST was done with the exception of Quebec, who introduced their own form of value-added tax (QST). The GST rate was decreased from 7% to 5% between 2006 to 2008.
After 1996, several provinces adopted HST, a combination of PST and GST into a single value-added tax. Currently, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nova Scotia have adopted the HST. British Columbia, Manitoba, Quebec, and Saskatchewan still pay separate GSTs and HSTs, and Alberta, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon do not have a provincial sales tax.

Thank You from the Fontry.
After Disaster is a tribute to the gothic styles used by 1960s and 70s comic book letterers. Tall and narrow and sporting those wonderful slab serifs, this font is as equally comfortable doing headline and display work as it is in the role of subordinate and secondary text. A little research shows this style goes back as far as the 1930s. In fact, a vintage sign from a crumbling sign magazine of that era was the inspiration for the lowercase characters. A complete family of After Disaster-based faces--the Earth A.D. Family--is available commercially.

From supporting the Ministry of Education and Training with the National Foreign Languages Initiative to sharing the best ELT teaching methodologies to help scientists conduct research in key areas, the British Council has prioritised cooperation in education and science over the past 25 years in Vietnam.
Professor Pham Minh Hac was a trailblazer, representing the Vietnamese Government in work with the British Council, when it first opened to Vietnam in 1993.
It is hard to tell the difference between Britain and the British Council in this story, given the deep-seated affection Tran Ba Viet Dung has for this foggy country that he dearly loves.
Mr Vang has a certain kind of 'chemistry' with the British Council. He has collaborated with the organisation throughout his career, in multiple roles and at different points in time.
'The British Council has the best English language teaching methodologies' - Bui Van Khiet, Head of the Secondary Education Division for Nam Dinh Education and Training Department.
The partnership between Bui Thi Minh Nga, deputy head of the K-12 education division, Hanoi Department of Education and Training and the British Council is a decade-long story.
Pham Vu Quoc Binh, Director of Vietnam Vocational Training Accreditation Agency, Ministry of Labour, invalids and Social Affairs, highlights the British Council's valuable.
Motivation remains high for promoting the establishment of the first international university in Central Vietnam.
"I want to say my most sincere thank you to the British Council, the British scientists who have been with us every step of the way in the fight against malaria in Vietnam and the world".
"The British Council is an organisation that symbolises connecting, sharing, partnership building, opportunities and creating trust."
"The British Council has the passion and always does everything it can to support science."
"The collaboration between British consultants and Vietnamese hospitals, universities and businesses for the purposes of HAPIE has yielded impressive and tangible results."

Everyone sees them but not many look at them. Wooden telegraph poles have been a vital part of Sydney's landscape for more than a century, bringing light and power, and connecting people. They are all unique, each of them a work of art, unaware of its beauty, of its abstractness. Adorned by cables, they streak the ever changing sky. Poles are taken for granted. But they are ephemeral, sometimes eaten away, and gradually replaced by steel. Let's admire them before it is too late.
This series has been exhibited at the Australian Centre for Photography, March-April 2015.


Armed police officers were called to reports of men fighting with weapons in Lockwood Road this morning.
Police made several arrests as they ordered at least 10 people to lay face down on the pavement outside the former Woolpack pub.
Officers were called to the scene at 3.51am to reports of a large fight involving a number of men, some of whom were reported to be armed with machetes.
A police spokesman said several males were located at the scene and three machetes were recovered.
It is understood that four or more people have been arrested.
Forensic and other officers are carrying out investigations inside the former pub which has been converted into apartments for rent.
The interior of the premises was damaged during the incident. It is believed that the trouble may have started inside the premises and then continued outside.
Stay with us for the latest updates on incident.
Here's everything we know about the violence on Lockwood Road earlier this morning.
I understand that police have now left the scene, although investigations are continuing.
The incident at the former Woolpack pub comes just two days after similar outbreak of violence in Lockwood, which happened near to Yews Hill Road.
Here are the details of the incident on Friday night.
I don't have any information to suggest the two incidents are linked. But it's certainly very worrying for people who live and work in Lockwood.
This picture shows the extent of the police operation. They weren't taking any chances and sent a lot of officers to the scene, including armed units.
I've just spoken to Yorkshire Ambulance Service who say they have no record of attending the incident.
Earlier I asked a West Yorkshire Police inspector whether anyone had been hurt. He didn't have any information.
Let's hope no-one was injured.
This audio recording captures the moment a driver approaches the scene. Please excuse the bad language.
This photo shows a number of people who are face-down on the pavement in Lockwood. We know that four or more people have been arrested by police who responded to reports of a large fight involving men with machetes.
"I saw about eight people face down on the floor, with their hands behind their backs. There were three 4x4 police cars and a couple of unmarked police cars.
There's glass and lumps of stone on the pavement and in the road outside the former Woolpack pub, which is now used as flats. It's not clear if stones were used as weapons but we do know that some of those present were carrying machetes. It's not clear if anyone was injured.
The resident praised West Yorkshire Police, saying they were doing a good job in difficult circumstances.
"Credit to the police. They are reactive due to the cuts and the reduction in their numbers. I am 100% supportive of the police but due to cuts they can only do so much.
A Lockwood resident who saw the armed operation unfold said: "Police stormed the building and arrested various suspects.
"It's frightening these days," said the resident, who asked not to be named.


iPhone 5C - Why the hell is it so expensive?
Discussion in 'iPhone' started by Hustler1337, Sep 10, 2013.
I thought the iPhone 5C was supposed to appeal to a more 'mass-market' or for emerging markets, typically aimed at those who couldn't afford the standard iPhones and for Apple to gain a greater market share.
At $549 / £469 for the 16GB version, it certainly isn't cheap. In fact, you could get a Samsung Galaxy S4 at a similar price. So why would someone want to buy a plastic iPhone at an extortionate price, even though it may essentially be an iPhone 5 in a plastic housing?
Apple have certainly got their pricing wrong on this one. What was the purpose of the iPhone 5C? If anything, it's ruining their premium, high-end brand image.
Did Apple ever promise this?
I can't find a link anywhere of Apple ever stating that this was their intention.
Apple didn't ever promise it, but I do think the pricing is laughable.
The C does not stand for cheap.
Even the on contract pricing is laughable.. Why would I get a 5C to save $100..
The iPhone 5C is a plastic iPhone 5..
In fact, you could get a Samsung Galaxy S4 at a similar price. So why would someone want to buy a plastic iPhone at an extortionate price, even though it may essentially be an iPhone 5 in a plastic housing?
Oh and the SGS4 is not a plastic phone?
The issue is the pricing difference between the two models.
5C base model is $99 on contract.
5S base model is $199 on contract.
That is only a difference of $100. If you can afford the monthly cost of having an iPhone, you can afford an extra one time payment of $100 for a waaay better phone. I'm very surprised the difference is only $100. I would have expected the 5C to be $49 base model and the 5S to be $199 base model. Or, even have the 5C base model be free on contract.
$100 between "low end" and "high end" for a smartphone is nothing considering how much you pay each month to the carrier.
I'm disappointed with this for sure. If the 5S didn't impress me the 5C off contract was going to be my next phone. But not at that price.
It's just cheap to make.
The 5C is still a good phone for the price. Not much difference than the current iPhone 5.
What you guys expect to pay $350 full price?
I don't think Apple ever officially stated that this was their intention, but the whole idea behind creating the iPhone 5C was to release a cheaper iPhone. Consequently, the assumption would be that the intention of Apple was to aim this product at those who typically buy lower-cost phones, e.g. in emerging economies, for teenagers, students etc. The general view that seemed to be circulating was that Apple was long planning on releasing a low-cost iPhone in order to increase their market share lost to Android/Windows/Blackberry and other users.
What other plausible intention could Apple have had in releasing the iPhone 5C? Plastic certainly isn't their style.
At that price point, people with common sense are just going to buy a different device. There isn't much of a price difference between the 5C and 5C. If they can afford to buy a 5C, then they can generally afford to buy a 5S.
"Analysts" and rumor sites claimed a cheaper iPhone. No one at Apple mentioned it, officially. No one can be pissed that a rumor didn't pan out or that Apple isn't handing over a plastic iPhone for pennies off contract.
Yes, it's a plastic phone, but a better looking, and not as cheap looking phone than the 5C. And, it's (arguably) a better phone than the 5C, but lets not argue that here.
Like I said for months, Apple doesn't make cheap products.
There was no low cost.
I don't think apple will sell a single 5c in foreign market if people are not stupid.
Bit of a fail on Apple part on the 5C prices, they had a real opportunity to lure some new customers by producing a low price phone. They aren't going to do that with a overpriced 5C and a spec bumped 5S.
How much are iPod nanos/shuffles? They are CHEAP. They get young users using Apple products. Once Apple released the iPod Nano at about £100, they started shifting a lot of units.
Looks like Apple can't make enough margin on a low end phone yet without too many compromises. So they will never capture the teenage phone market/emerging markets until they do.
The internet said that, not Apple.
Apple's intent was never to create a low cost device as most people thought. Their intent was to get rid of the iPhone 5 and have something that seperates itself from the 5S. I think a lot of people will get these colors after everything is said and done because it's still a solid device.


It´s a natural but complex pose. I like it. It has a really good flow.
Great photo. The collar bone is very clear in this.

Joaquim Alves de Oliveira, (Pilar de Goiás, 18 de agosto de 1770 — Pirenópolis, 4 de outubro de 1851), foi um grande produtor rural, agraciado com os títulos de Honra de Moço Fidalgo da Casa Imperial, Ordem do Cruzeiro, Comenda de Cavaleiro da Ordem da Rosa e a patente de tenente-coronel, sendo também o criador do jornal A Matutina Meiapontense.

Biografia
Filho de Domingos Alves de Campos e de Páscoa Pinto de Oliveira. Em 1779, com a morte de seu pai, sua família passou sua guarda ao padre Antônio de Azevedo Batista, que o influenciou a seguir carreira eclesiástica, no Rio de Janeiro.

Em 1792, ao se descobrir sem vocação para o sacerdócio, resolve investir na carreira comercial, ainda no Rio de Janeiro. Em pouco tempo juntou uma pequena fortuna e retornou para o então arraial de Meia Ponte, abrindo frentes de comércio, viajando constantemente com mulas para transporte de mercadorias.

No ano de 1802, iniciou a construção do Engenho São Joaquim (hoje Fazenda Babilônia), que logo se tornou a maior propriedade agrícola da província, sendo foi visitada por ilustres cientistas viajantes europeus, entre eles Auguste de Saint-Hilaire, que descreveu o imóvel em seu livro Viagem às nascentes do Rio São Francisco e pela província de Goiás. Além de plantar e beneficiar algodão e cana-de-açúcar, Oliveira se dedicava a incentivar a reprodução dos escravos para a venda.

Casou-se, em 1803, com Ana Rosa Moreira, com quem teve três filhos. Dois meninos morreram ainda crianças, e a filha Ana Joaquina Alves de Oliveira, a mais velha, casou-se com o coronel Joaquim da Costa Teixeira. Mais tarde, no ano de 1833, Ana Joaquina provocaria a morte trágica da mãe, que a flagrou em contato íntimo com um escravo num dos aposentos do Engenho São Joaquim. O escravo, ao ser surpreendido com a filha do senhor em adultério, desferiu um tiro mortal no coração da mãe de sua cúmplice.

Religioso, membro da Irmandade do Santíssimo Sacramento a qual por anos foi o Provedor, custeou a primeira e grande reforma da igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora do Rosário, ocorrida em 1830, foi custeada por Oliveira. Em 1811, pelo seu combate à epidemia de sarampo que assolou o arraial de Meia Ponte, foi honrado com poemas do primeiro poeta goiano, Florêncio Antônio da Fonseca Grostom.

Influenciado pelo padre Luís Gonzaga de Camargo Fleury, o Comendador Oliveira, em 5 de março de 1830, inaugurou a primeira tipografia de Goiás e editou o primeiro jornal do Centro-Oeste, chamado A Matutina Meiapontense, que circulou entre 5 de março de 1830 a 24 de maio de 1834, totalizando 526 números, tendo como primeiro diretor o padre Gonzaga.

E ainda naquele mesmo ano, no dia 3 de maio, fundou a primeira biblioteca de Goiás.

Em 1836, o governo de Goiás comprou a Tipografia D'Oliveira, para imprimir o Correio Oficial.

No dia 4 de outubro de 1851 o Comendador Oliveira faleceu em Pirenópolis, aos 81 anos.

Joaquim Alves de Oliveira é Patrono da Cadeira nº 02 da Academia Pirenopolina de Letras, Artes e Música.

The president's request has stalled in Congress for weeks, forcing federal health organizations to pull from other accounts, including anti-Ebola efforts.
'You can't sustain that for much longer,' said Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes for Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health. 'If we don't get the money that the president has asked for, that is going to have a very serious negative impact on our ability to get the job done and to do it as quickly as we possibly can.'
Critics say the administration hasn't been transparent enough with its request, and they question whether the full amount is needed. Others say at least a portion should be offset by cuts in other programs.
As of Wednesday, Florida had 112 cases of the mosquito-borne illness or about one in five cases of the nearly 500 diagnosed in the continental U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. All those cases have involved people who contracted the disease outside the country. The 112 cases include three reported Wednesday.
The Gulf Coast, which is warm, wet and located close to Puerto Rico, where Zika is widespread, is expected to be the first area of the mainland to see locally transmitted cases, Fauci said.
But that doesn't mean other areas of the country are safe. The Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes that carry Zika can be found in some 30 states, Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio warned on the Senate floor Wednesday.
'This is a looming public health crisis,' he said. 'The time to act has come.'
Unlike some of his conservative colleagues, Rubio isn't demanding that money be found elsewhere to offset the cost of addressing Zika.
Scott, who has often touted his credentials as a fiscal conservative, said he agrees.
'I understand the need to watch how you spend money,' he said. 'But this is an emergency. We want the funding as fast as possible.'

ALCINA: Opera Review
Going for Baroque: Handel's Magical Mystery Enchanted Island Tour
Photo credits: Lawrence K Ho, LA Opera
Best known for his 1742 oratorio the Messiah, with its immortal, glorious "Hallelujah Chorus," George Frederick Handel was also a prolific composer of operas. Earlier this month, Angelenos had a special treat, an opportunity to enjoy a concert performance of Handel's 1735 opera Alcina, presented by London-based The English Concert. The plot and theme of this delightful 18th century work would be familiar to devotees of Woody Allen movies – infidelity and shifting romantic partnerships, a sort of sexual musical chairs.
The story, which Handel adapted from Riccardo Broschi's 1728 Rome-set libretto of L'isola di Alcina, takes place at an enchanted isle presided over by the eponymous enchantress Alcina. Spells are cast, identities are mistaken, there are some gender bender twists and shapeshifting, as star-crossed lovers have their faithfulness (or lack of) challenged. An interesting plot point is the introduction of "The Ring of Truth," a sort of ancient lie detector enabling the bearer to determine whether one's beau or belle is being honest or, as the libretto puts it, "a cruel deceiver." Ahh, the fickle finger of fidelity!
In their LA Opera debut The English Concert performed the three-act, three-and-a-half-hour production in, more or less, modern dress and sans the elaborate sets and props that often regale the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion's sumptuous stage. The 20-plus musicians of The English Concert, presided over by Liverpudlian Harry Bicket – who also displayed virtuoso finger work on a period harpsichord – did not play in the pit, where James Conlon usually conducts the LA Opera Orchestra. Rather, The English Concert performed onstage, where they were periodically joined by Alcina's six singers, standing behind music stands holding the opera's score and lyrical libretto. (Thomas Foster is also listed in LA Opera's credits under harpsichord.)
Being in full view enhanced one's sense and enjoyment of Handel's music. Baroque music is often associated with brassy instruments, but Alcina's instruments stressed the more soothing strings. In addition to nine violins, violas, violoncellos and a double bass, Sergio Bucheli plucked what is a rarity nowadays – a theorbo, a long-necked stringed instrument in the lute family. As for the aforementioned harpsichord, with its mellifluous sound, this happens to be my favorite instrument, so I was in heaven whenever Bicket tickled the ivories of this neglected relic of centuries gone by. (Although those other Liverpudlians, the Beatles, used the harpsichord in 1965's "Rubber Soul's" plaintive, lilting "In My Life.")
The English Concert's strings were also joined by oboes and a bassoon. But it wasn't until Act III when that distinctively bouncy, brassy, baroque sound rang out, when Richard Bayliss and Ursula Paludan Monberg (see: Brass & Timps – The English Concert) held forth with horns, and the plot's pace picked up and dashed toward the grand finale. Will the Ring of Truth ring out like the French horns and true love triumphantly conquer all?
The female-dominated cast was led by Quebecois soprano as the titular island queen, Alcina. English soprano Lucy Crowe crooned the lines of Alcina's sister, Morgana, who can also cast spells, with Pennsylvanian mezzo-soprano Elizabeth DeShong as lovelorn Bradamante. My favorite was the crossdressing Paula Murrihy, a mezzo-soprano from County Kerry, Ireland, as the knight Ruggiero. Ohio tenor Alek Shrader played the dishonest Oronte, while Polish bass Wojtek Gierlach sang Melisso's part.
Alcina was positively bewitching and this opera aficionado ardently hopes this debut by The English Concert is but the first of many more performances to come. It perfectly set the tone for LA Opera's holiday season, which is being celebrated by Gioachino Rossini's operatic adaptation of the classic fairy tale, Cinderella.
CINDERELLA, LA CENERENTOLA opens Saturday, Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m.; and is being performed Sundays Nov. 28 and Dec. 12 at 2:00 p.m.; and on Dec. 1, 4 and 8 at 7:30 p.m., at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, 135 N. Grand Avenue, Los Angeles CA, 90012. For tickets: Cinderella | LA Opera; (213)972-8001. For info about The English Concert: The English Concert.
