Gerard Krefft and Wilhelm Blandowski
Gerard Krefft, Wilhelm Blandowski and the library that travelled
Presented by Vanessa Finney
Manager, World Cultures, Archives & Library, Australian Museum.
On his 1857 natural history expedition to the Murray River, German naturalist Wilhelm Blandowski did not just take the usual load of guns, boxes, barrels and preserving spirits. He also took an unusual library of around 250 books. The library has since travelled on to Germany where it is held in the collections of the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin. The library's contents and the story of its travels are a great tool for thinking about the role of books, reading and writing in nineteenth century natural history and field collecting.
Gerard Krefft, Curator and Secretary, 1861-1874
The 1857 expedition was also the training ground for AM Curator/Director Gerard Krefft. That makes the library important for Krefft's story; filling in more details on his background, his education, his intellectual and scientific influences and the hands-on, practical approach to natural history he brought to his work at the Australian Museum from 1860 to 1874. His mutterings and grumblings about Blandowski tell us something about his coming troubles at the AM, too.

The Serpent and the Rainbow (book)
1985 book by Wade Davis
The Serpent and the Rainbow: A Harvard Scientist's Astonishing Journey into the Secret Societies of Haitian Voodoo, Zombis, and Magic
Cover of the first edition
Wade Davis
Haitian Vodou
Print (Hardcover and Paperback)
The Serpent and the Rainbow: A Harvard Scientist's Astonishing Journey into the Secret Societies of Haitian Voodoo, Zombies, and Magic is a 1985 book by anthropologist and researcher Wade Davis. He investigated Haitian Vodou and the process of making zombies. He studied ethnobotanical poisons, discovering their use in a reported case of a contemporary zombie, Clairvius Narcisse.
The book presents the case of Clairvius Narcisse, a man who had been a zombie for two years, arguing that the zombification process was more likely the result of a complex interaction of tetrodotoxin, a powerful hallucinogenic plant called Datura, and cultural forces and beliefs.[1]
According to the book, the assortment of ingredients in Haitian zombie powder include puffer fish, matter from a corpse (specifically to Davis' adventure in Haiti, the bokor, a Haitian shaman, crushed the skull of a deceased infant that had been dead for a month or two, and added it to the poison), freshly killed blue lizards, a large dried toad (Bufo marinus) with a dried sea worm wrapped around it (prepared beforehand), "tcha-tcha" (Albizzia), and "itching pea" (pois grater, a species of Mucuna).[2]
The book inspired the 1988 horror film, The Serpent and the Rainbow.
Criticism[edit]
Davis' claims were criticized for a number of scientific inaccuracies.[3] Some scientists found little or no tetrodotoxin in samples provided by Davis,[4] with some accusing him of fraud.[5] Davis argued that a number of factors may account for the negative results of some investigators and decried their unsubstantiated accusations of fraud, noting the variability of formulations, possible errors in the testing performed on the samples he brought back, the possibility that the tetrodotoxin-based mixture may have had ingredients that improved blood–brain barrier transmission of the tetrodotoxin, and the nature of folk medicine with respect to success rates (i.e., that very few successes are required to establish credibility).[6]
In the book, Davis does not suggest that the zombie powder containing tetrodotoxin was used for maintaining "mental slaves", but for producing the initial death and resurrection that convinced the victims and those who knew them that they had become zombies. The zombies, such as Clairvius Narcisse, were kept biddable by regular doses of the poisonous plant, Datura stramonium, which produces amnesia, delirium, and suggestibility.

Police name three men arrested after shooting at Raptors victory rally
Toronto police have released the identities of three men who were arrested after Monday's shooting at a rally celebrating the Raptors' historic NBA win.
The men, who are all from Toronto and range in age from 18 to 25, are facing firearms-related charges.
Police have said four people suffered non-life-threatening injuries during the shooting.
Investigators allege that Shaquille Anthony Miller, 25, and Thaino Toussaint, 20, were carrying guns when they were arrested.
The men each face seven charges that include carrying a concealed weapon and — in Miller's case — assaulting a peace officer while carrying a firearm.
Police say 18-year-old Abdikarim Kerow was arrested on a previous warrant and is facing a total of 20 charges, including two counts of possessing a loaded regulated firearm and possessing drugs for the purpose of trafficking.
Investigators are still looking for a firearm and a fourth suspect, described as a man around five-foot-nine, with a heavy build and short brown hair.
Note to readers: This is a corrected story. An earlier version said police were looking for a third suspect.

CP NewsAlert: L'Arche says co-founder Jean Vanier sexually abused 25 women
Business / 13 hours ago
MONTREAL — A report commissioned by a non-profit organization founded by the late Jean Vanier says the Canadian sexually abused 25 women during his decades with the group.
L'Arche International says the investigation identified 25 women who experienced a sexual act or an intimate gesture from Vanier between 1952 and 2019.
It says the relationships between Vanier, who died in 2019, and the women are "part of a continuum of confusion, control and abuse."
Vanier, son of former Governor General Georges Vanier, worked as a Canadian navy officer and professor before turning to Catholic-inspired charity work.
He founded L'Arche in 1964 as an alternative living environment where those with developmental disabilities could be full-fledged participants in the community instead of patients.
More coming.
By Lee Berthiaume in Ottawa
The federal government failed to spend tens of billions of dollars in the last fiscal year on promised programs and services, including new military equipment, affordable housing and support for veterans.
Federal departments are blaming a variety of factors for letting a record total of $38 billion in funding lapse in 2021-22, including delays and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
They also say much of the money remains available for future years.
The unspent funds also played a big part in the Liberal government posting a smaller-than-expected deficit in the year ending March 31, 2022.
Canada rang up a $90.2 billion deficit — $23.6 billion less than had been projected in the budget.
The unprecedented amount of lapsed funding, much of which has been returned to the federal treasury, has one observer suggesting it is a sign of long-standing challenges delivering on big federal projects for the country.
The amount of lapsed funds across government is spelled out in the most recent iteration of the public accounts, a report on federal revenues and spending by every department and agency tabled in the House of Commons every year.
The $38.2 billion that was reported as lapsed in the last fiscal year marks a new record over the previous year, which was $32.2 billion. That was a dramatic increase over the previous record of $14 billion in 2019-20.
That compares to around $10 billion about a decade ago, when Stephen Harper's Conservative government was accused by political opponents and experts alike of using large lapses to make cuts by stealth.
Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada reported the largest lapses of all departments and agencies, with nearly $11.2 billion of their combined $28.2 billion budgets going unspent.
Much of that had been set aside for COVID-19 initiatives that were not needed, said Health Canada spokeswoman Tammy Jarbeau. Those include vaccines, personal protective equipment and rapid tests.
"Both Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada have rigorous internal financial management controls designed to prevent, detect and minimize errors and financial losses, and ensure the funding is spent in the best interests of Canadians," she wrote in an email.
The pandemic figured in the responses and explanations from many other departments and agencies, with many blaming COVID-19 for delays.
One of them was the Defence Department, which reported a lapse of $2.5 billion in the last fiscal year. Much of the money wasn't spent due to delays in the delivery of new military equipment such as Arctic patrol vessels and upgrades to the Army's armoured vehicles.
There were also delays on major infrastructure projects for the military, according to Defence Department spokeswoman Jessica Lamirande. Those include upgrading and rebuilding two jetties for the Navy in Esquimalt, B.C., and a new armoury in New Brunswick.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on many of our business lines," Lamirande said.
"The impacts of the pandemic on supply chain and industry capacity are causing manufacturing backlogs and delays."
Lamirande added most of the unspent funds are expected to be available in future years through a process called reprofiling, in which schedules are revised to reflect planned spending in future years due to those delays.
Former parliamentary budget officer Kevin Page said the government's handling of lapsed funding now is "a little more relaxed" than in previous years, when unspent funds were not reprofiled and even used to justify budget cuts in Ottawa.
But defence analyst David Perry of the Canadian Global Affairs Institute said the Defence Department's lapse, which has been steadily growing in recent years, is a symptom of Ottawa's continued difficulties purchasing new military equipment.
"If we're not getting those procurement projects through, we're not getting new equipment into the inventory, so we don't actually have the gear for our troops," he said, noting many of the delayed projects were launched under the Harper government.
Perry also noted the current rate of inflation, which is already naturally higher for military equipment and the defence sector than most other parts of the economy. Not spending money now means Canada will have to pay more for the same gear and services later, he said.
The Infrastructure Department, the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp. and the Fisheries Department, which includes the Canadian Coast Guard, also reported delays with different capital projects, including on affordable housing and broadband internet.
"Due to the unprecedented circumstances over the last few years such as the COVID-19 pandemic, disbursing funds to proponents for many projects are expected to and will take longer," CMHC spokeswoman Claudie Chabot said in an email.
Perry suggested a bigger problem.
"The government of Canada's ability to actually deliver services to the public, especially when it comes to large projects, large capital projects, be it for equipment or infrastructure or IT projects, is struggling across the board," he said.
Other federal entities with large lapses included Indigenous Services Canada, which failed to spend $3.4 billion, and Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada, which reported a lapse of $2.2 billion.
Spokesman Vincent Gauthier attributed much of the latter lapse to "the timing and progress of negotiations for specific claims and childhood litigations," adding that funds will available "in some instances" in future years.
Gauthier did not say why Indigenous Services, which is responsible for delivering federal services to First Nations, Inuit and Métis, failed to spend billions of dollars. He did say most of the money had been reprofiled "so that it will be available when recipients need it."
Veterans Affairs Canada also reported a nearly $1 billion lapse last year, which the department blamed on fewer ill and injured ex-soldiers applying for assistance than expected.
However, critics have described earlier lapsed funding as evidence of the challenges many veterans face in accessing benefits and services. In 2014, the Royal Canadian Legion demanded the Harper government explain why $1.1 billion went unspent over seven years.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan. 30, 2023.

Riff analysis: Gorguts- "Condemned to Obscurity"
by Jerry Hauppa on January 27, 2018
Having recently dissected what comprises the riff structuring of the current incarnation of Gorguts in the Pleiades' Dust review, I decided to revisit what I deem to be their most truly progressive material in The Erosion of Sanity to pinpoint what the band used to do successfully in comparison. The most bewildering track on it, "Condemned to Obscurity," perplexed me when I had first heard it about twenty years ago and still has an esoteric nature to its structure and aesthetic today. But unlike current Gorguts which borrows from indie and noise rock techniques to create dissonance, Gorguts on this particular song managed to do so utilizing purely metal tropes in a way that was entirely unique for its time. In the following I will attempt to break down what comprises the very first riff of the song and detail what it meant for the band at the time and how it served as a window into what they eventually evolved into, for better or worse.

Aim Is to Ensure That Saffron Flag Flies High: BJP MP Anant Kumar Hegde
The statement by the infamous MP is a restatement of the RSS decision to not accept the tricolour as the national flag and an indication of their Hindutva agenda.

"We (Bharatiya Janata Party) are not aiming to defeat someone or even to rule. Our goal is clear. The saffron flag (a symbol of Hindutva and flag of the RSS) must be flying in front of us. The whole world should respect the saffron flag," these are the words of the current Union Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, and Member of Parliament (MP) for Uttara Kannada constituency, Anant Kumar Hegde. Hegde is infamous for spelling out the true mission of the BJP time and again. This time speaking at a BJP's avalokana sabhe (self reflection meeting) on May 20, 2019, in Mundagoda of Uttara Kannada district, he admitted that establishing and nourishing Hindutva is the goal of his party.
The general elections are over and the results are to be announced on May 23, 2019. In this situation, it is important to note how blatantly the Hindutva forces are functioning since 2014. This has been possible only because the current central government led by Narendra Modi has been actively recruiting and appointing the members of the RSS to ministerial and other key government positions like Chief Minister and Governors of the states. Even for appointments to senior positions in universities people have been picked from among RSS members.
According to the data put together by NewsClick, out of 75 union ministers, 29 who are currently in term and three former ministers (Late Anil Madhav Dave, Faggan Singh Kulaste and Mahendra Nath Pandey) have been a part of the RSS. Out of 29 governors, 15 of them have a RSS background; out of the 16 Chief Ministers of the BJP-ruled states (before the Assembly elections in Chattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh), 12 of them were from the RSS. This shows the way in which, an otherwise "non-political" and so-called cultural organisation, gets to participate in politics of the country. This represents the mission of hoisting the saffron flag that Hegde is speaking of, which in a way has already started.

Previously, addressing the gathering in an event organised by the Brahmana Yuva Parishad in Koppala district on December 25, 2017, Hegde had referred to the Constitution of the country as Ambedkar Smriti. He had said, "Smriti means laws of the land in that particular time. We had Manu Smriti, similarly we had Parashara Smriti and now we have Ambedkar Smriti." Continuing his speech on the Constitution, he had said, "A few people say the Constitution mentions the word secular, so you have to agree. Because it's there in the Constitution, we will respect it, but this will change in the near future. The Constitution has changed many times before. We are here and have come to change the Constitution. We will change it."
Also Read: Normalising the Abnormal is the Strategy of BJP
Prajavani, a Kannada daily also has reported Hegde to have said, "Let people say whatever they want to say. The only reason for us (BJP) to be organised is to save our religion and culture. This is the only reason as to why lakhs of people have taken up the membership of the party in the first place. Our goal and guru (master) is the saffron flag."
In the same speech he is also reported to have predicted the Lok Sabha election results. Sounding like the RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and the recent exit polls of most of the mainstream media channels, he went to declare that the BJP alone would cross 300 seats and the NDA would cross 400 seats.

After the introduction of wireless instrumented klapskates in long-track speed skating, we started on the development of a fixed instrumented short-track skate. This development is a close collaboration between the TU Delft, de Haagse Hogeschool and the Dutch National Short-track team. Several student groups worked on the design of the pillars. The manufacturing of the pillars was done by the world champion short-track skater Sjinkie Knegt in his workshop at home. The electronics and sensors were designed and manufactured at the TU Delft.
Yesterday the first on ice measurements were performed and that got us very excited for the continuation of this project!

When Leander Games signed a licensing deal with thrash metal kings Megadeth in 2011 company officials declared the fast tempo and aggressive percussive beats of the high-wattage band fit Leander's "ethos perfectly." Ramiro Atucha founded Leander Games in Buenos Aires in February of 2008 and laid the groundwork for that philosophy. Atucha entered the online gaming industry after providing digital communication services to a land-based slot producer.
Not content to rely solely on algorithms and computer programs Leander set out from the start to stir scriptwriters, illustrators, mathematicians and programmers into a creative cocktail to create its online games. The Leander Games library of games is sent to client casinos and distribution partners through its proprietary engine called LeGa. Its flagship video slots product for Real Money Gaming and Social Gaming platforms became the Reely Series.
Leander initial foray with branded slots was its relationship with Megadeth that manifested itself in game form with Head Crusher bonuses and a Mega Nudge feature that enabled players to move reels 2 and 4 to create the best award winning combinations. Each member of the band makes appearances on the flaming reels.
Not to be musically pigeonholed Leander also signed a tie-in agreement with the queen of country music, Dolly Parton. Rather than nihilistic icons this video slots game lures players towards big coin payouts with a Butterfly Super Extra Wild while the speakers pump out Dolly's biggest hits.
In the Leander universe Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs become 7 Lucky Dwarfs with a Mirror, Mirror feature, scattered free spins and a Dig in Our Mine Bonus where gold nuggets move along an ore car track to a possible 80X bonus. Also spinning a new twist on folk tales is Little Pigs Strike Back the trio of porcine detectives set out to track down the wolf, aided by reels of expanding wilds and a Free Spins Bonus. In The Voyages of Sinbad the mythical sailor leads to free spins, a mystery scatter and a boat load of multipliers during his adventures on the seven seas.
Straying even further from the Megadeth ethos is Pablo Picasslot with its flamboyant artist protagonist painting his masterpiece with wilds and hanging portraits of keys on the wall to unlock big prizes from the treasure chests lingering around his studio. The Mandarin Fortune summons the cosmic energy of Yin and Yang to produce wins from the mysterious Chinese culture. Potion Factory deposits the player in the land of black magic where secret concoctions can transform any milquetoast character into a menacing baddie.
Leander Games also features the requisite themes of Ancient Rome (Golden Rome), Dragons, (Dragon Slot), Space (Supernova) and Egypt (Secrets of the Tomb) in its suite of 20 or so games. Zombie Rush, which joined the Leander line-up in 2014, follows the travails of every man hero Max as he tries to find the lovely Claire while corps of the undead ravage their neighbourhood spilling radioactive liquid everywhere. Not that gamers are unhappy to see the liquid-toting zombies since the reels turn wild when they become radioactive.
The Reely series of table games includes Reely Poker, Reely Roulette, Reely Bingo, and Reely Caribbean Stud Poker. Leander has lined up distribution partners in Snowcat, OpenBet, Amaya, Every Matrix, iSoftBet and Whitehat Gmaing while operators such as Betsson Bet-at-Home, Gala, CasinoEuro, Unibet, Betmotion and Full Tilt Poker have taken advantage of direct integration.

Q: JQuery not executing within a For loop Im a JQuery noob trying to write a simple jQuery code to get a text to blink three times. My initial code was as follows:
$("#welcome").click(function () {
            var i = 1;
            while (++i < 10) {
                    $("#welcome").fadeOut("slow", function () { $("#welcome").fadeIn("slow"); })();
            }
        });

But since I probably meddled in forces I could not comprehend, the above code made the text blink only once. I read up on closures and got convinced that the below code could make a change. Unfortunately, it doesnt.
$("#welcome").click(function () {
        var i = 1;
        while (++i < 10) {
            (function (i) {
                $("#welcome").fadeOut("slow", function () { $("#welcome").fadeIn("slow"); })();
            })(i);
        }
    });

Can anyone tell me whats going on here?

A: You need make use of the animation queue
var $welcome = $("#welcome").click(function () {
    var i = 1;
    //clear previous animations
    $welcome.stop(true, true);
    while (++i < 10) {
        $welcome.fadeOut("slow").fadeIn("slow");
    }
});

Demo: Fiddle

A: Fading in and out takes some time, and you have to wait for your animation to be over before you can run the next one.
The provided answers solve your problem since jQuery is clever enough to bufferize your animation queue, but it may creates even more confusion for begginers, and also if you want to do something else between the fading animations, you can't rely on it anymore.
You then have to write your code on what is called an asynchronous recursive way (woah). Simply trying to understand that snippet may help you a lot with javascript general programming.
function blink(nbBlinks) {
  // Only blink if the nbBlinks counter is not zero
  if(nbBlinks > 0) {
    $('#welcome').fadeOut('slow', function() {
      // Do stuff after the fade out animation
      $(this).fadeIn('slow', function() {
        // Now we're done with that iteration, blink again
        blink(nbBlinks-1);
      })
    });
  }
}

// Launch our blinking function 10 times
blink(10);

A: This works perfectly. Demo http://jsfiddle.net/X5Qy3/
$("#welcome").click(function () {
      for (var x = 0; x < 3; x += 1) {
        $("#welcome").fadeOut("slow");
        $("#welcome").fadeIn("slow");
      }
});

Also, if you know how many times you want to do something. You should use a For Loop. While Loops are for when you don't know how many times you want it to run.

A: Set in queue
   $("#welcome").click(function () {
        var i = 1;
   //clear animations whcih are running at that time
    $(this).stop(true, true);
        while (++i < 10) {
            $(this).fadeOut("slow").fadeIn("slow");
        }
    });

A: You can not use jQuery delay function inside a looping/iteration hence you have to user closures:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".click1").click(function () {
    for (i=0;i<=10;i++) {
        setTimeout(function(x) {
            return function() {
                $("#wrapper").fadeOut("slow", function () { $("#wrapper").fadeIn("slow"); })();
            };
        }(i), 1000*i);
    }
});
});

click

You can later change the count how many times you want to blink the

Closed for Extended Bank Holiday Weekend!
Making the most of the last UK Bank Holiday before Christmas, yours truly is… enjoying a few days off!
No new Islington Film Location this week then, but feel free to peruse our previous posts and Islington's Filmography to choose a movie to enjoy, discover which Movie Stars 'Live' in Islington, find out which of our Tube Stations appears on screen and which Films were recently shot in the borough!
If walking and wondering around Islington is more your thing, wherever you live or whichever area you fancy we will have covered it at some point. From Clerkenwell to Finsbury, Tufnell Park to Highbury or Holloway to St Luke's, you can plan your walk with our Islington Film Locations Map.
'Coming Soon'
To whet your appetite, in the next few weeks we will be spotting Gary Oldman's House, having a date with Ricky Gervais, and travelling back in time with a 1933 black and white movie featuring not only a scene but also a song to the glory of one of Islington's iconic landmark!
And if you do know any Islington location used for Film, TV, photo shoot or have been involved in the process, drop me a line at LightsCameraIslington(at)gmail.com or via Twitter

Michelle Williams spotted in St John's Street
A few weeks ago we saw how Northampton Square, the Brunswick Estate and Emberton Court in particular as well as City University had taken centre stage in Incendiary (2008), a movie about the aftermath of a suicide bombing at a North London football ground, starring starring Ewan McGregor and Michelle Williams.
Since they both live around Northampton Square, it is almost normal that another scene, an everyday one for that matter, ended up being shot nearby.
Towards the end of the movie, Michelle Williams, the young mother who has lost husband and son in the terrorist attack can be seen popping to her local food shop.
When she steps out, she meets the child she has befriended since losing hers with his mother: the son and widow of the suicide bomber. There, she realises that the son she had kept alive in her head is no more, and rushes towards her flat in Emberton Court.
Such scene was shot in a place familiar to many residents and students: the row of shops and fast-food restaurants in St John's Street, opposite Finsbury Library. The Library can be spotted very briefly when the camera faces the mother and her child, the food shop, the 'Food & Wine' shop at the corner of St John's Street and Wyclif Street and the fast-food restaurants can be recognise more easily.

At St John's Gate, the clues you'll get
This week, Lights, Camera…Islington! is back in Clerkenwell on the lookout for the A Fish Called Wanda (1988) gang.
We already saw that while the robbery was going on in Hatton Garden Wanda (Jamie Lee Curtis) was waiting for the gang in a getaway car on Clerkenwell Green, and how shortly afterwards they swapped cars on Clerkenwell Close before vanishing.
However, to make it the perfect robbery our culprits had to make sure that no clues remained behind them, in particular Wanda's fake moustache! And this is where Ken (Michael Palin) came in. When Wanda & Co. leave Clerkenwell Close in a car, Ken gets on a motorbike and with the bin bag to get rid of.
Before you know it, he rides under St John's Gate and throws the bag into a skip.
Originally built in 1504, the Gate was the south entrance to the inner precinct of the Priory of the Knights of Saint John. Quite a stunning structure, St John's Gate was selected to represent Islington for the London 2012 Games.
Since you are there you might as well visit the Museum of the Order of St John.
As you can see, the 3 sequences we talked about were all shot within yards of each other, and probably on the same day!
That's the Wrap!
With this post we say goodbye to A Fish Called Wanda in Islington, unless you do happened to know otherwise. In which case feel free to let us know!

Farringdon Station: Vendetta on the Way
Countless films shot in London feature its famous and instantly recognisable underground stations be it the corridors, carriages, ticket halls, exits or familiar London transport signs. Such scenes, no matter how brief they may be, allow the spectators to relate to those familiar sitesand at the same time act as 'establishing shots': in a blink of an eye, we know where we are.
I am pleased to say that Islington's tube and train stations have enjoyed their fair share of spotlight.
In the science-fiction thriller V for Vendetta (2005), by the late 2020s Great Britain is a fascist state. One freedom fighter known as V (Hugo Weaving) fights this oppressive society and threatens to blow up the Houses of Parliament on 5th November, as attempted by Guy Fawkes in 1605. In doing this, he meets a young woman called Evey (Natalie Portman).
Before Islington appears on the screen, the borough is mentioned at the very beginning of the movie. While Evey is getting ready to go out, the TV is on and presenter Lewis Prothero (Roger Allam) warns his viewers about the situation in the USA and how similar it is to the one faced by Great Britain years ago "(…) Islington, Enfield, I was there, I have seen it all (…)".
However, the first time we get to properly spot Islington is later on when Evey tells V about her childhood. While she talks about the death of her brother, her parents' political engagement, we can see her as a young Evey (Madeleine Rakic-Platt) handing leaflets out outside Farringdon Station.
Since many scenes of V for Vendetta were shot across Islington we will have the opportunity to get back to it!

Concert Parking
For events at Barnes Hall and Sage Chapel, try the parking area along Sage Avenue (not the Sage South lot, which is restricted until 8:00 p.m. seven days a week), then the parking lots behind Willard Straight and Anabel Taylor Halls. If these areas are full, drive to the parking garage, accessed from Campus Rd. (between Garden Avenue and the football stadium) or from Hoy Road - with a 5 minute walk back to the concert venue. For concerts at Bailey Hall, use the parking garage under the Human Ecology Building located along Forest Home Drive, near Beebe Lake (GPS: 37 Forest Home Drive, Ithaca, NY 14853). At 726 University Ave., there are 9 parking spaces and 2 additional handicap spots behind the building, and street parking on Stewart Ave. See the campus map and check for construction detours at www.cornell.edu/maps.
Access for persons with disabilities
For Barnes Hall, numerous handicapped parking spaces are located along Sage Avenue (enter on the same side of the building) and in the Sage South lot (without a Cornell permit, you can park in a handicapped space within this lot after 5:00 p.m. and all day/evening on weekends; be sure to hang your handicapped tag from the mirror). A small elevator is available, but please send an able-bodied person up the stairs to ask the usher or stage manager for assistance in operating it and/or call the recording studio at 607-255-9682.
At Bailey Hall, patrons with limited mobility may gain access through the entrance at the southwest corner of the building (to the left of the main entrance). Just inside the door is an elevator for transport to and from the lobby.


One living artist that Picasso always had in his sights was Matisse. Given the subject of Painter and Model this is no surprise, and he may have had one particular Matisses in mind, the monumental Goldfish and Palette 1915. This started out as an image of the artist with his pallette contemplating a still life on a table, and the central vertical section of Picasso's composition (incorporating the mirror, window, still life, canvas, palette and half the painter's body) has so many details in common with Matisse's painting that the term 'paraphrase' seems appropriate. Picasso knew Goldfish and Palette well for it had been with Leonce Rosenberg from 1915 until 1923, when, thanks to the impassioned lobbying of no less a person than Andre Breton, it was purchased by Jacques Doucet. He also knew that, rightly or wrongly, Matisse was convinced it had influenced his own Harlequin of 1915.
Placed alongside Matisse's The Artist and His Model, Picasso's Painter and Model could be interpreted as a point-blank refutation of the Matissean principle of attempting to record a visual impression. The daringly abstracted Goldfish and Palette, on the other hand, is paraphrased in the spirit of homage not criticism.


The phosphor program draws text on the screen in a very large pixelated font that looks like an old low resolution dumb tty. The pixels flare and fade out as if the phosphor was very long-sustain. It is also a fully functional vt100 terminal emulator.
The X font to use. Phosphor can take any font and scale it up to pixelate it. The default is fixed.
How much to scale the font up: in other words, the size in real pixels of the simulated pixels. Default 6.
The number of colors to use when fading to black. Default 20.
The speed of the terminal: how long to wait between drawing each character. Default 50000, or about 1/20th second.
Launch the sub-program under a PTY, so that it can address the screen directly. This is the default.
Launch the sub-program at the end of a pipe: do not let it address the screen directly.
The command to run to generate the text to display. This option may be any string acceptable to /bin/sh. The program will be run at the end of a pty or pipe, and any characters that it prints to stdout will be printed on phosphor's window. The characters will be printed artificially slowly, as per the −delay option above. If the program exits, it will be launched again after 5 seconds.
By default, phosphor allocates a pseudo-tty for the sub-process to run under. This has the desirable side effect that the program will be able to use ioctl(2) to fetch information about terminal parameters and window size, which many programs (such as top(1)) need to run properly. phosphor will also set the environment variable TERM to vt100 in the child process.

Chinese Search Engine Giant Baidu Partners With Geely To Develop Electric Cars
Posted By: Steven Burnett January 11, 2021
Elon Musk Tesla is likely to have more competition in the Electric Vehicle market. This is because Chinese search engine giant Baidu has announced a collaboration with carmaker Geely to manufacture smart electric vehicles. Geely is not only one of the largest carmakers in China but also has stakes in Mercedes-Benz owner Daimler and owns Volvo. The joint venture of both the companies is likely to give some tough competition to Tesla as well as several Chinese EV manufacturers. Robin Li, the chief executive and co-founder of Baidu, said that the partnership will pave the way for future passenger vehicles.
"Baidu has expertise in autonomous driving and connected vehicles. Geely is an experienced automobile manufacturer. The partnership between both the companies will result in the future mode of transportation," Li said. It must be noted that China is already a leading market in terms of electric vehicles. A report of the International Energy Agency suggests that 47 per cent of all the electric cars on the roads are only in China. China is increasingly shifting its focus towards electric vehicles. Estimates of data provider S&P Platts suggest the new energy vehicles will account for 20 per cent of total new car sales in China by 2025.
Li said that the next generation is demanding for EV vehicles and it is expected to manifolds in coming years. But it is not going to be a cakewalk for Baidu and Geely as they will face some very tough competition. There are many competitors both in China and globally who are working to develop smart electric vehicles. Sources suggest that the two companies are likely to seal the deal in March this year. People privy with the development said that the production of EV vehicles is likely to begin in 2024. The announcement by Baidu and Geely comes close on the heels of a report that Apple and Hyundai are reportedly working to develop an electric car.

Panic Room & The Others: Home sinister home
Wendy Haslem
Released within months of each other, Panic Room (David Fincher) and The Others (Alejandro Amenábar) share an obsession with the darker side of domestic life. These films reverse the traditional association between home, stability and security, emphasising instead entrapment and danger. They join a long list of films where the home transforms into a jail, confining and controlling its inhabitants. This list includes Roman Polanski's Repulsion (1965), with its evil apartment where white walls trickle blood and sprout hands that grasp and threaten to engulf its inhabitant. Another is Robert Wise's 'deranged' Hill House in The Haunting (1963). Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980), is a more recent example of menacing Gothic architecture. The Overlook Hotel is haunted by the restless spirits of the Indian burial ground beneath. The interior is designed like a labyrinth; it has elevators that gush blood and a ghostly inhabitant who transforms from an alluring beauty to a vile corpse in the blink of an eye. The most significant link between all of these films is their representation of the domestic space as uncanny: things are not as they first seem and most alarmingly, people are not as they appear.
Originally Nicole Kidman was to star in Panic Room as well as The Others, until a knee injury forced her to abandon the project just 2 weeks before shooting commenced. She was replaced by Jodie Foster who brings a quiet resilience to the role, recalling some of the more tenacious female characters in recent American cinema like Ripley in Alien (1986) and Sarah Conner in Terminator 2, Judgement Day (1991). As the central character of the Gothic drama, Nicole Kidman is perfectly cast. Her porcelain skin, seemingly untouched by sunlight, combined with the stiffness of her body, express a reserve vital for a narrative that is sustained by her denial. Resplendent in a deep blue, impossibly well-fitting knitted jacket, Kidman's character appears as a nostalgic reinvention of the coolness of Greta Garbo or Ingrid Bergman.
The retrospective impulse is most evident in the homage to Hitchcock featured in both The Others and Panic Room. Each director produces a version of Hitchcock's famous circular shot designed to replicate Alicia's (Ingrid Bergman) bleary eyed vision as she wakes and tilts her head, struggling to focus after a night of drinking with Devlin (Cary Grant) in Notorious (1946). By recreating this shot, both Amenábar and Fincher restate Hitchcock's concern with the problem of vision. Do the protagonists see clearly, or are they hallucinating? Disorientation, doubt, hesitancy and disbelief are staples of the Gothic. This occlusion of vision is facilitated by a distinct lack of light in The Others where windows are barricaded and doors kept locked. With its muted tones and interiors sheltered in darkness, this film is as close to black and white as is possible in mainstream cinema. Panic Room also limits its color range to steely greys, blues and whites, with more darkness than light in its climactic scenes. Both rely on darkness and off screen space to suggest menace, both manipulate point of view, systematically revealing and concealing information, raising apprehension when the familiar becomes unfamiliar.
Amenábar's The Others develops suspense by questioning perception. Characters are defined according to those who see and embrace the ghosts, and others who resist the presence of the supernatural. In The Others, this split is represented by a gulf that separates Grace from her 2 children and the trio of 'new' servants. While the children interact with the ghosts, Grace remains in denial until the final moment when the connection between the spirits and the home is revealed.
In the Gothic, the haunted house is almost a character in its own right. In The Others, the mansion is obsessively controlled by Grace with curtains drawn and each door locked before another can be opened. Amenábar highlights this by amplifying the jangling sound of skeleton keys on the soundtrack. According to Grace, her children are 'photo-sensitive'; they have an allergy to light where exposure will result in suffocation. Isolation is emphasised further with Grace's pronouncement to the servants that the house does not have electricity, nor does she own a radio or television: silence is prized above sound. This is a mansion that is haunted by loss: the loss of childhood and the loss of companionship. Grace reveals that her original servants vanished "into thin air", and she waits for her husband to return from a war that ended long ago.
The mansion imprisons its inhabitants. It is surrounded by a dense landscape making transit difficult, if not impossible. When she attempts to find help beyond the limits of her estate, Grace becomes disorientated in a forest thick with fog. The most resonant image of The Others frames Grace between the iron bars of a front gate that imprisons her family. Whilst her body is confined, her eyes search the distance. This picture of feminine incarceration is an archetype of the Gothic genre, the visual expression of quiet desperation. A similarly tightly framed image of Meg is used in the promotion of Panic Room. Her head is horizontal and her wide-eyed expression suggests alarm whilst a blurred menacing character hovers behind.
Panic Room establishes a sense of claustrophobia and questions vision right from the opening credits. Set on the Upper West Side of New York City, the credit sequence is a montage of images of tall buildings—mostly anonymous—framed to fill the screen with grids of windows. Gigantic white letters form the opening credits, hanging between the buildings as if by magic. This clash of text and image gives the supernatural a familiar context, introducing a sense of the uncanny.
The house itself is an immediate problem: it is referred to as an 'emotional' property as if it were alive. In his monologue introducing the house, the realtor Evan calls it a 'townstone': a hybrid of the townhouse and the brownstone, extremely 'uncommon.' Its vertical design makes movement within difficult. The winding staircase is steep and extensive and the house contains an ancient elevator, replete with an iron grid gate. A wall of screens recording video from strategically placed static cameras flattens and fractures the space into a collection of low-resolution black and white images. These are contrasted with Fincher's more flamboyant representation of the domestic space. Adopting an impossible point of view, the mobile camera glides throughout the space, travelling into keyholes, between rooms, through walls, floors, even deftly slipping through the handle of a coffee pot.
The most compelling space in Panic Room is the secret chamber. This room is discovered by default when Meg notices an anomaly in the dimensions of a room. The panic room is concealed in the negative space of a smaller room. It functions as asecure space for millions of dollars worth of bonds concealed in the false bottom of a safe, but it also offers refuge from home invasion. The panic room chills Meg and she acknowledges the potential for entrapment when she asks her friend, "Ever read any Poe?" But the point is lost on Lydia who replies, "No, but I loved her last album." As the mother and child shelter within, the space takes on a sinister dimension, a possibility anticipated by Sarah who insists that live burial doesn't happen quite as often as it used to. Immured within, Meg and Sarah are subjected to an array of assaults (including gunfire and asphyxiation) which threaten to transform the shelter into a tomb.
The house in Panic Room eventually becomes a refuge for Meg who transforms the space into an obstacle course. She denies the burglars access to vision by turning off lights and smashing the surveillance cameras with a sledgehammer. In the darkness, the focus shifts from the eyes to the ears. Meg tracks the progress of the burglars by smashing a mirror and listening for the burglars who crunch the glass underfoot. The roles are reversed and hunter becomes hunted as Meg regains control of the house.
The cinema is the perfect vehicle for domestic Gothic dramas. It is the only medium that has the ability to reanimate the dead or to depict menace within seemingly harmless environments. Like the Gothic, the cinema questions vision by producing a hesitancy between the real and the imagined. Panic Room and The Others offer compelling representation of the uncanny by defamiliarising the most familiar space of all, the home.

FEATURE: From Baghdad to San Antonio, QARANTINA Comes to South Texas
By The Global Film Initiative, on October 29th, 2012
UT San Antonio Professor Steven G. Kellman (and former HuffPo contributor) on fighting off the 'the toxins of cultural provincialism' with QARANTINA…
A scene from QARANTINA (dir. Oday Rasheed, Iraq)
Though it is the seventh largest city in the United States, San Antonio is, like all but a few other areas in the country, virtually quarantined against foreign cinema. When an imported film does get screened in a local commercial theater, it is almost always from Britain, since, according to the industry's conventional wisdom, Americans are monolingual, and they do not go to the movies to read; box-office receipts for inferior remakes of The Vanishing, The Debt, and The Seven Samurai exceed those for the subtitled originals. Film is the most portable of the arts, but national aversion to foreign film reflects widespread indifference to anything beyond our borders but violence.
As an antidote to the toxins of cultural provincialism, the San Antonio Museum of Art has scheduled monthly public screenings of works – twice each – provided by the Global Film Initiative. I was invited by SAMA to introduce the films and lead post-screening discussions.
October's offering, Qarantina, written and directed by Oday Rasheed, is an outstanding demonstration of foreign cinema's power to bring fresh perspectives to worlds that many hardly knew existed. Set in contemporary Baghdad, Qarantina is a film by Iraqis, about Iraqis. The fates of Iraq and the United States have of course been closely linked both before and after the fall of Saddam Hussein, and U.S. military intervention in Iraq has been central to such recent American movies as The Hurt Locker, The Men Who Stare at Goats, Stop-Loss, and In the Valley of Elah. But what is perhaps most striking about Qarantina is how oblivious it is to Americans and the war. At several points within the film, the camera is positioned within a US tank as it makes its way through the busy streets of Baghad. As if quarantined within their armored vehicle, the American soldiers, who remain off-camera and silent, have no contact with the Iraqi people, who go about their lives heedless of the tank.
Another scene from QARANTINA (dir. Oday Rasheed, Iraq)
Otherwise, Qarantina is the story of an impoverished and dysfunctional Iraqi family emotionally isolated on the ground floor of a dilapidated old house. A shady crime boss has given them lodging there on condition that they cater to the needs of a professional assassin who resides on the floor above them. Like a mysterious gunman in a spaghetti Western, he is a terse and solitary killer, regularly emerging from the house to execute victim after victim. The killings have no direct relationship to the war or sectarian religious strife, only to an agenda designed by the crime boss. The killer comes into conflict with the boss when the hired gunman becomes creative with that agenda. Conflict within the family arises over the adolescent daughter's sudden refusal to eat or speak.
The exterior of the gorgeous San Antonio Museum of Art
The audience in San Antonio was impressed with the bleak artistry of Qarantina, the efficient way that shots were lit and framed. The film is open-ended, challenging audiences to speculate on the future that awaits the mother, daughter, and son as they abandon the house that has been their refuge and prison. Much of our discussion focused on the motivations and ethics of the characters. At one point, the assassin visits his mother after an absence of seven years. "Mom," he tells her, "your son is a good person." Given the horrendous crimes we see him commit, how could he make that claim? The crime boss berates him for not following orders – fulfilling assignments in unexpected ways as well as killing people not on his list. "We have principles," says the crime boss, whose principles are nonetheless abhorrent. "You are out of your mind," he tells the assassin, who affirms the principle of anarchy in Iraq.
The audience was struck by the misogyny of many of the film's characters, but also by how the women are able to carve out a modicum of freedom and power within a patriarchal structure that is bent on destroying itself. Also discussed was how the boy in the family, though forced by poverty to shine shoes rather than attend school, finds ways to sate his hunger for knowledge.
Qarantina begins and ends with a shot of debris littering a river. The river is the Tigris, the ancient fount of a rich civilization. Its distress commands our attention, even viewed with subtitles.
Steven G. Kellman is professor of comparative literature at the University of Texas at San Antonio. His books include Redemption: The Life of Henry Roth, The Translingual Imagination, and The Self-Begetting Novel.

On Saturday, June 7, 2014 – 10AM to 2PM – the Bayshore Resource Center will have its Grand Opening. The celebration will feature door-prizes, visits by dignitaries, food and refreshments. The general public and partner organizations are encouraged to visit and test the one-stop approach to addressing Sandy recovery needs.
The mission of the Bayshore Resource Center (BRC) is to act as a one-stop center capable of assessing and addressing the needs of the under-served and vulnerable residents of the Borough of Highlands and nearby communities for disaster case management, advocacy and assistance, and reconstruction. With partner organizations we will have access to mental health professionals and financial counselors to assist those in the community needing those services. Space will be available in the BRC to collaborative partners, who will be encouraged to designate personnel who will be on-site at the BRC during specific times during the week or month, or on a full time basis, as appropriate.
Previous Tough Times don't last Tough Highlanders do ~ If I could actually sing..


The budget season is afoot in Sacramento, we must raise our voices to strengthen our underfunded Developmental Services system. Please send an email or fax to your state senator and assemblymember (sample below).
• Assemblymember Tony Thurmond, chair of the key Assembly Budget Subcommittee: assemblymember.thurmond@assembly.ca.gov .
I am the parent of a 23 year-old young man with severe autism who requires full-time care. When he aged out of the school system at age 22, we found he had nowhere to go -- no day programs would accept him (he has the mental capacity of a toddler but the body of a linebacker), and no group homes serving such intense needs had openings.
Ironically, as the population of disabled autistic adults like my son surges, the DDS budget remains nonresponsive, leaving our most vulnerable citizens with dwindling, sparce options for community-based care. California's adult autism population will double over the next five years and triple over the next ten—we must strengthen our system now.
• Adult day and work programs are at capacity, residential group homes are closing, and wait lists are growing. The scarcity of services often leave families with no options for their loved ones.
• Low rates have caused the shutdown of services. Current reimbursement rates for vocational and day services are only slightly higher than the Fiscal Year 1995-1996 costs. Since that time, inflation has driven up costs about 50%. Low rates for programs yield low wages which lead to higher turnover, a decrease in staff qualifications and ultimately poor service quality.
• California now spends the least of any state on services for each individual that qualifies for community based services eligible for federal funding (Medicaid waiver). In fact, California is at risk of losing millions of federal dollars if it does not comply in meeting the needs of the developmentally disabled in California. "When taking into account the relative wealth of each state, California's performance is even lower and continues to decline, " says ARCA.
• The "median rate" policy leaves the more severely impaired increasingly restricted options. Reimbursement rates for necessary, bedrock social services are capped without regard for intensity of need. California's service rates do not take into account any geographic differences in the cost of living/service provision, rendering Lanterman Act-mandated "community-based" care increasingly out of reach in high cost areas like our San Francisco Bay Area.
• Regional Centers are overwhelmed by ever-growing caseloads, now often 100 per service coordinator. And we have no plan to care for this mounting population of young adults incapable of caring for themselves. Outrageously, in this time of desperate need to create new programs for adults with autism, no funds are allocated for starting new programs or even providing existing ones with enough capital to enable them to maintain the quality of their existing services or expand.
• A 10% emergency increase to the Regional Center budget to prevent further closure and erosion of services and ensure some system stability; a 5% increase each subsequent year as we work towards system reform.
• Immediate disbanding of disastrous "median rate" policy, which leaves our most intensively disabled citizens without viable staffing or programs, especially prevalent in high cost of living geographic areas .
• System fiscal reform to be completed by the next fiscal year so that services for the DD community can be adequate and sustainable and prevent California from losing more federal funding.
• A statewide Adult Autism Needs Assessment, leading to an Adult Autism Programs & Housing Plan completed by February 2016. The autism parent population is aging--who will care for our grown disabled children? Where will they live? There are already 75,000 California DDS autism cases, with 5,000 added each year. This is an increase of 2,500% since the mid 1980s. Soon autism will represent a full half of the DDS population.
Thank you so much for your consideration and all you do on behalf of our state's most vulnerable citizens.

James Blythe Rogers (born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 11 February 1802; died there, 15 June 1852) was a United States chemist.

Biography
He was the eldest son of Patrick Kerr Rogers, who had graduated from the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1802, and in 1819 was elected professor of natural philosophy and mathematics at the College of William & Mary, where he remained until his death. James Rogers was educated at William and Mary, and, after preliminary studies with Dr. Thomas E. Bond, received the degree of M.D. from the University of Maryland in 1822. Subsequently he taught in Baltimore, but soon afterward settled in Little Britain, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and there practised medicine.

He found the practice of medicine uncongenial, and returned to Baltimore to become superintendent of a large chemical factory. He devoted himself assiduously to the study of pure and applied chemistry, and became professor of that branch in Washington Medical College, Baltimore, also lecturing on the same subject at the Mechanics' Institute. In 1835 he was called to the same chair in the medical department of Cincinnati College, where he remained until 1839, spending his summer vacations in field work and chemical investigations in connection with the geological survey of Virginia, which was then under the charge of his brother William.

In 1840 he settled permanently in Philadelphia, where he became an assistant to his brother Henry, at that time state geologist of Pennsylvania, and in 1841 he was appointed lecturer on chemistry in the Philadelphia Medical Institute, a summer school. He was elected professor of general chemistry at the Franklin Institute in 1844, and remained there until his election in 1847 to succeed Robert Hare as professor of chemistry in the University of Pennsylvania.

Rogers was a representative at the national medical convention in 1847, and a delegate to the national convention for the revision of the United States Pharmacopeia in 1850, and a member of various learned societies.

Works
He contributed papers to scientific journals, and with his brother Robert prepared the seventh edition of Edward Turner's Elements of Chemistry and William Gregory's Outlines of Organic Chemistry, in one volume (Philadelphia, 1846).

On Friday 6th July, our under 16's team from Tameside United Girls F.C. (formerly Denton Girls), along with adults Nigel, Lee and Rachel, travelled to France for an international football tournament hosted by Association Sportive de Montigny le Bretonneux (ASMB) in Denton's twin town of Montigny le Bretonneux. In addition to ourselves, there were 5 local teams and a team from Germany, TuS Grünenbaum, who are based near Kierspe in Germany, Denton's other twin town.
We were picked up at CDG Airport by Pierre and David (who ran ourselves and the Germans virtually everywhere during the stay) heading straight for the hotel. On arrival we met our German friends whom we shared accommodation with at IBIS Budget located behind the velodrome. After getting refreshed, we were taken to ASMB's stadium for a meal and hellos. At the clubhouse we exchanged gifts and gave short speeches, which were well received by all, including many supporters from ASMB who were there to make us feel really welcome.
The next morning, we were taken down to the delightful étang de Saint-Quentin, where the girls experienced several hours of climbing the high trees in the forest. Although very tiring, this was a fantastic experience for the girls, with one or two really surprising us with their determination and bravery. In the evening ASMB arranged indoor football for us all, adults included, but this clashed with the England v Sweden game, so it was a case of play some footie, watch some footie. Great to see in the bar the French locals getting behind England, they really wanted both France and England to meet in the final. They kept their side of the bargain, unfortunately it was a close but not close enough for England.
On the Sunday ASMB staged the tournament at their ground in Montigny, with both Tameside and Grünenbaum as guests of honour. The weather was a scorching 35 degree centigrade with no shade, and it was a real achievement for all the girls to last the day. The event began with the playing of each national anthem, with teams walking onto the pitch behind the flag of their country, helping to create a real international feeling to the tournament. The evening before, the English and German girls stayed up late into the night, which probably led to both ASMB and another French club Sarcelles playing the better football, with the latter winning the competition. Nigel, Cerise and Olivia also did an interview for the French TV station TV78, and it was strange seeing the play back dubbed in French. Throughout the day and night, our hosts kept us all fed and watered. At the end of the evening, back in the hotel, the adults were shattered, so God knows how the girls go through it.
Monday was an amazing experience, as all three clubs went in a coach to Disneyland Paris, and we were there from about 10am to midnight. What a fabulous day, with vivid memories of the green bandanas given to us by Cyril, the ASMB coach, so that we could find each other in the crowd. The real highlight though was the awesome firework display in the late evening, which I'm sure will live in the minds of everyone there for many years to come.
Tuesday was our last day, and their were a few tears as we said our goodbyes, but looking forward to meeting up again next year in Germany. Discussions had already begun for this coming event, with the French, German and English organisers getting around a table to plan potential dates.
