Women in History Month: Meet Diana Hume George
Posted on March 31, 2014 by Behrend Blog
By Allison Counasse
e-Communications Coordinator, Penn State Behrend
In recognition of Women's History Month, we'd like to introduce you to just a few of the dynamic women in Penn State Behrend's history. Our college has a rich history of leadership and involvement by strong, forward thinking, and generous women. Each Monday in March, we'll highlight a woman who has made, or is currently making, her mark on the college.
Today, we'd like you to meet Dr. Diana Hume George, Professor Emerita of English and Women's Studies.

Diana Hume George taught English and Women's Studies at Penn State Behrend from 1978 to 2004. She is now a member of the core faculty at Goucher College's MFA in Creative Nonfiction program, which combines online and on-campus education. She has published ten books of poems, essays, and criticism, including the Pulitzer-nominated Blake and Freud. She also co-directs the Chautauqua Writers' Festival.
I caught up with her by email to ask her about the importance of women's studies, why she doesn't (yes, you read that right!) miss teaching at Behrend, and what she's been doing lately.
You taught women's studies at Penn State Behrend. Why is it important for college students to learn about this subject?
Yes, I taught women's studies and I worked for years on founding what became the women's studies program at Behrend—I'm so glad it's still going.
As much progress as women have made in this country and around the world, there's nothing like genuine equity yet. Women can still be owned, enslaved, beaten, and maimed in many places, including in some parts of this country—and control of women's bodies is still a primary political aim. Sometimes I am heartened by all the advances—no one's surprised by women in the so-called professions any more, as doctors or professors or politicians or talking heads on TV, and that progress is genuine. But it's just as true that in many cultures and countries, there's still a war against women's equality that is violent and terrifying.
Without women's studies, younger women would be even more likely to backslide, to lose touch with all that has gone before, and to become re-enculturated in ways that disable and disenfranchise them—I see it every day. The lack of a feminist awareness among young women scares me deeply and daily and a lot.
What do you miss about teaching at Behrend?
I don't miss teaching at Behrend, because I took the best of it with me. I'm still in contact with a bunch of my previous students over the years—one became among the best friends of my life, another student-turned-friend I meet up with at the Cleveland Film Festival every year. I visit one in Baltimore regularly, another is getting ready to run the Boston Marathon and makes me great beach-glass earrings, and yet another sends me his wonderful poems. And there's another fellow writer, and another is a magazine editor—come to think of it, I'm in touch with someone from every generation of my career there.
I also stay in touch with department colleagues—I met up with John Champagne and Sharon Dale in Rome last year and stayed at John's place in Perugia, and I see George Looney because along with Phil Terman at Clarion, we run the Chautauqua Writers' Festival together, which is how I also run into Greg Morris as well as newer colleagues like Kim Todd and Tom Noyes. Other writer colleagues from long ago, names current people might not even remember, like Melissa Bender and Ann Pancake, are part of my life, too. And after leaving Behrend, I got to know a couple of colleagues that I never had time to know when I was working constantly—I love and miss Toby Cunningham, whom I barely knew at Behrend, but once we were gone, we ended up in a writers' group together and my partner John Edwards published his wonderful book.
My son Bernie is back at Behrend finishing up his degree—so put it all together and it's like I never left.
What have you been working on since leaving Behrend?
Since I left Behrend, I've been teaching creative nonfiction in an MFA program at Goucher College in Baltimore. I've also been to several colleges and universities as a visiting writer, teaching for a few weeks or even a semester, at places such as Davidson in North Carolina, UNC/Wilmington, and Ohio University.
What do you enjoy about teaching in the MFA program at Goucher College?
I live in Pennsylvania, and work online, going to Baltimore a couple of times a year. I mentor writers who always wanted to write a book. Our program is geared toward helping them write voice-driven narrative—some have been professional journalists all their lives and they haven't yet gotten to write long-form. It's great fun and I get to learn as much as I teach, because whatever they're writing a book about, I'm reading that book as they write it. And we also get doctors and psychologists and professors, as well as people who want to write about their own lives, so I edit memoirs on trauma and on travel, and sometimes that can be the same book.
You mentioned in our email exchanges that you have been traveling. Please tell us more.
I have the privilege of shaping my life so that I can do my favorite thing, which is to travel with my friends or my partner, John Edwards. I wrote one travel book and I'm always writing the next one. I try to go to Italy for about a month every other year. Lately I've been alternating Italy with the Yucatan peninsula, from which I'm just back right now. I stay on Isla Mujares, an undeveloped island right off Cancun, where I first went with a fellow writer on a retreat back when I was at Behrend. I got hooked on those Caribbean breezes in January.
What are your other interests?
Even more than travel and writing, I want to read. I don't get to read enough. That's my goal, lots of good books, the kind where you can throw yourself down on a bed and get lost in an imaginary world.
And I love long-form drama on TV, where a lot of the best storytelling takes place, both comic and tragic—Deadwood, The Sopranos, and Breaking Bad were almost as important to me as literature.
You wrote and edited books on the American poet Anne Sexton. Does her work still resonate with you? How has your relationship with her work changed?
I wrote or edited three books about Anne Sexton, and she was a wondrous enough poet that I never got weary of her writing—but I did get battle fatigue about her psyche. She was a joyful and delightful person, witty, wicked smart, and ironic, but she was also bipolar, and being in the presence of that kind of mind can yank you around. My friend and the co-editor with me of Sexton's Selected Poems, Diane Wood Middlebrook, lived inside Sexton's head for a decade, and she said it was nearly too much.
I was attracted to her sense of joy, and I still admire her willingness to also say the depth of her pain—but she couldn't live, in the end, and I can. So although my affection for her poetry remains, and I think she was tremendously important, and deserves to endure, I am a bit distant from her now.
But if you're lucky, your old literary loves from early in your life stay with you in some sense throughout, they get internalized and are part of who you are, and all of my early loves became part of me—Sexton and Adrienne Rich and William Blake and Freud.
If someone is unfamiliar with your writing, what might be a good introductory work?
Personal essays I wrote, such as "Wounded Chevy at Wounded Knee" or "The Last of the Raccoon," still represent my work.
Diana Hume George will do a public reading at Clarion University of Pennsylvania on April 17, 2014. The second edition of her book The Lonely Other: A Woman Watching America will be released in April, with several new essays.

Behrend Reacts: Who's your pick to win the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament?
By Steve Orbanek
Marketing Communications Specialist, Penn State Behrend
It's the end of March, which means the madness is well underway.
For weeks, sports fans have meticulously crafted their NCAA Division I men's basketball bracket selections in search of a winner.
So, who you got?
The Sweet Sixteen begin today, which means that even more brackets are sure to get busted.
We asked Penn State Behrend students who they think will emerge from this year's field.
Emelie Linder, freshman, Marketing and Economics: "I think Kentucky because it's already been unexpected that they've made it this far."
Kari Mild, freshman, Elementary Education: "Tennessee because I really like that state and want to move there someday."
Alexandra Sorce, freshman, Community and Economic Development: "Louisville because last season, (Louisville player) Kevin Ware had a radical knee injury and you deserve something if you pop your knee out like that."
Mary Beth Cartier, sophomore, Arts Administration: "Kentucky because both of my cousins went there, and they're usually a really good team."
Aaron Scheel, junior, Computer Science: "Michigan because it would make my older brother very happy."
Matt Panetta, sophomore, Computer Science: "Florida because I picked them in the ESPN Bracket Challenge."
Khardiata Mbengue, junior, Biology: "UCLA because there's warm weather there, and their blood will be flowing better."
Paul Toma, junior, Finance: "Dayton because I like rooting for the underdogs."
Brandon Siebauer, freshman, Plastics Engineering Technology: "Louisville because they're 31-5."
Jacob Foglia, freshman, Electrical Engineering: "I'm going to go with Florida because they have Scottie Wilbekin, and I think he's the strongest player in the tournament."
Behrend Reacts is a regular Thursday feature at the Behrend Blog that tries to get the campus pulse on a current topic, whether it's serious or trivial. If you have a question to suggest for Behrend Reacts, please email Steve Orbanek at sco10@psu.edu.

Female landscaper blooms where she's been planted for 22 years
By Heather Cass
Publications & Design Coordinator, Penn State Behrend
Imagine driving 100 miles a day to work. Now imagine doing it for two decades. Patricia "Patty" Blackhurst has been doing just that—commuting from her home in Linesville, fifty-two miles away, for twenty-two years—all to help make Penn State Behrend a more beautiful place.
As a groundskeeper in the Glenhill area (one of several landscaping "zones" on campus), Blackhurst and the coworkers on her crew are responsible for maintaining, improving, and caring for the grounds and walkways on lower campus from Kochel Center to the science buildings.
Blackhurst is also responsible for maintaining and caring for the indoor plants across campus.
"When I started, there were just thirteen plants in Reed," She said. "They added more to the other buildings and asked me to propagate some new ones."
She did, growing them right on the windowsill in the maintenance and operations office, nurturing cuttings into large plants. "I think we're up to seventy-five plants now."
Blackhurst's interest in landscaping bloomed in high school, when she attended what was then a forestry program at Crawford County Vocational-Technical School. After graduation, she dabbled in property and retail management before taking a job with a Meadville landscaping company.
When an advertisement appeared in the newspaper for a position at Penn State Behrend, Blackhurst applied with plenty of experience in landscaping and running the equipment associated with it. She landed the job at Behrend and has continued to commute five days a week ever since.
While there have been other women on the groundskeeping crew over the years, Blackhurst is currently the only one. It doesn't seem to faze her.
"I can't say I've ever really thought about it," she says with a laugh. "I love my job, and I really enjoy working outside with whoever is in my crew, men or women."
She says the only time anyone expresses surprise at a woman working on the grounds crew is when she's driving big equipment like the vent-track lawn mower or a backhoe.
In the winter, Blackhurst and her fellow grounds crew workers are responsible for keeping the sidewalks and paths clear. Asked if this harsh winter has ever made her wish she had a desk job indoors where it's nice and warm, she laughs and says, "Never. I could never sit at a desk all day. It's just not for me."
Lucky for Penn State Behrend.
About Patty
Family: She and her husband, Richard, have a son, 29, and a daughter, 33.
Residence: Linesville
Favorite tree on campus: Japanese umbrella tree by the Glenhill pool and the giant sequoia tree near the Glenhill Farmhouse. "I planted that tree (the sequoia) when Dr. Ed Masteller (professor of biology emeritus) started the arboretum at Behrend several years ago," she says. "He took me under his wing, showed me what to do, and asked me to keep an eye on the trees for him. Unfortunately, the sequoia took a beating this winter. I hope it survives."
Worst thing about her job: Snakes
Hobbies: Gardening, of course! Blackhurst volunteers at Conneaut Lake Park,where she does landscaping work. She also enjoys working in her own yard where she has two gardens with waterfalls.
Spreading sunshine: Blackhurst has a small greenhouse where she grows her own annuals. If she has too many, she'll bring some to Behrend and scatter them in beds around campus. "I enjoy sprinkling them here and there around campus," she says. "I always plant some in front of the M&O office to give the women who work in the office there something nice to look at when they come to work in the morning."
Favorite sport to watch: Football, particularly Penn State, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Seattle Seahawks.
Favorite TV shows: Law & Order and The Voice
Pet peeves: Negativity
What she wishes for students: "I wish they would look up now and then and see what they have growing around them," she says. "They walk around campus staring at their phones with their ear buds in. They're so closed off. They miss so much of nature."

Women in History Month: Meet Jane Ingold
Today, we'd like you to meet Jane Ingold, a reference librarian in the John M. Lilley Library.
It's not believed that any member of the Behrend family still lives in the Erie area, but Mary Behrend's grandsons might beg to differ.
"The grandsons (Dick and Bill Sayre) have told me I'm an adopted Behrend," Penn State Behrend reference librarian Jane Ingold said.
Given Ingold's knowledge of the Behrend family history, it's an appropriate remark.
Since 1999, she has worked as a librarian at the John M. Lilley Library. On a typical day, Ingold might be helping a student with a research project or reorganizing library materials, but there's a good chance that she'll be working in the archives, located on the bottom floor of the library.
The archives at Penn State Behrend are comprised of three permanent collections: the Behrend Family Collection, the Hammermill Paper Company Collection, and the Penn State Behrend Collection. Since 2006, Ingold has worked to organize and categorize the collections, and she's become something of an expert when it comes to Behrend history.
Ingold has a great knowledge for every detail surrounding Behrend's history, dating back to when Mary Behrend donated her family's Glenhill Farm estate to Penn State in 1948.
Through the years, Ingold has received countless relics and souvenirs that somehow tie into the Behrend family, the college, or the Hammermill Paper Company, the company owned by Mary Behrend's husband Ernst as well as his brothers, Otto and Bernard, and their father, Moritz.
Ingold has made a meticulous effort to carefully keep track of everything she's found or been given since she first came to Behrend. She's viewed as the historical expert on campus, and the archives even earned the Local History Award in July 2011 from the Erie County Historical Society.
Ingold said she has seen plenty of interesting artifacts in the archives, but there's one particular item that stands out above the rest.
"It's the letters that Mrs. Behrend wrote to her son Warren right before he died in a car accident in 1929." Ingold said. "It made me cry."
Because of her knowledge, Ingold has become a great resource, both to students and former Hammermill employees. Many of the Hammermill retirees recognize the importance of the archives, and they help to contribute and spread the word.
This is especially true of Harry Hahn, a 104-year-old Hammermill retiree. Hahn communicates frequently with Ingold, and he's always doing what he can to help grow the archives.
"He's one of the joys of my life," Ingold said.
In a newspaper story discussing his impending open-heart surgery at age 101, Hahn even encouraged former employees to donate materials to the archives.
For all the work that Ingold does with the archives, her main passion remains the Penn State Behrend students.
"My favorite part of the job is helping students. It's like a treasure hunt when you're looking for something for someone, and they're always so grateful," Ingold said.
This was true a few years back when a student came to Ingold in the eleventh hour for help with a program on Behrend's history. Ben Lane, the former director of admissions and author of Behrend Remembered, had been scheduled to make a presentation on Behrend's history, but he had to cancel. Ingold quickly gathered up all the information she could and stepped in to replace Lane.
"It tickled me," Ingold said. "It made me feel very helpful."
In the future, Ingold said she would like to possibly update Lane's book.
Considering her wealth of knowledge, that seems like a realistic goal.
About Jane Ingold
Birthplace: Cranesville, Pa.
Education: B.A. in English from Gannon University, M.S. in library and information science from the University of Texas at Austin
Family/pets: "I spend a lot of time being what Elizabeth Gilbert terms a "sparent" or spare parent to my nieces and their children. I have a brown tabby, Tye, who was adopted from a local shelter."
Favorite thing about Behrend: "The resources we have to help students are great. We have access to almost anything in the world that a student would need."
Advice for today's students: "Having a librarian in your corner can make a big difference in your academic career. Befriend one."
Favorite hobbies: "Reading (now there's a surprise), organizing anything from papers to events, genealogy."
Last book read: Eleven Rings by Phil Jackson
Three books that everyone should read: The Art of Possibility by Rosamund and Benjamin Zander, The War of Art by Steven Pressfield, and Getting Things Done by David Allen
Why is it important that we preserve history?: "This series that you and your colleagues are writing on Women of Behrend wouldn't be possible if we hadn't chosen to preserve our history."

Behrend Reacts: How do you leave a strong impression at a career fair?
They say first impressions are everything, and attendees at Thursday's Spring Career and Internship Fair at Penn State Behrend would probably agree.
Hundreds of Penn State Behrend students lined up to mingle with more than 150 employers at the career fair. They were dressed to impress from head to toe, and they all shared a similar goal: land an internship or job.
We asked some students how they set out to make a strong impression at career fairs.
Robert Surrena, senior, Mechanical Engineering: "It's just one of those things I was taught as a little kid. Step one, you walk up, look the employer in the eye, and then shake his or her hand."
Ryan Price, senior, Electrical Engineering: "It's important to just be confident and do your prep work."
Michael Cochran, sophomore, Broadcast Journalism: "Just try to be unique. I tried to connect with them on a personal level and see what they have to offer."
Zachary Naples, sophomore, Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering: "I just try to make good eye contact, have a firm handshake, and ask good questions."
Hannah Kelly, sophomore, Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering: "I make sure that I dress professionally. When I walk up to employers, I smile, shake their hand, and look like I'm interested in their company."
Kristine Campbell, junior, Chemistry: "I think it's important to dress professionally. Another good thing is to have copies of your résumé and make sure they're accurate."
Brian Wilking, junior, Accounting: "The key is being able to come across as a professional but also showing that I am different from everyone else and can be an asset to their team."
Michael Boadu, senior, Political Science: "I always believe that your first impression makes the difference. Rather than reading from a book about what you have to do, it's better to just be natural."
Sarah Green, sophomore, Mechanical Engineering: "It's important to introduce yourself, say what your talents are, and ask questions instead of just having them ask you questions."
Gillian Groff, senior, Management Information Systems: "It's important to be confident in yourself when you go up to employers and make sure they know what you're looking for. Experience also really does help."

Women in History Month: Meet Mildred Doherty
By Chris Palattella Public relations coordinator, Penn State Behrend
Today, we'd like you to meet Mildred Doherty, our first female engineering faculty member.
Mildred Doherty, 1963
The first female member of Penn State Behrend's engineering faculty is remembered as a gregarious Renaissance woman with many interests, chief among them a deep affection for her Irish heritage.
In 1960, Mildred Doherty—"Mid" to her friends— arrived on a campus so thinly staffed that the infirmary nurse doubled as the bookstore manager. Doherty brought a unique skill set for a woman of her generation, having worked as a technical writer, a civilian supervisor for the U.S. Air Force, and as head of the U.S. Signal Corps' examination and evaluation section for radar operations. But gender wasn't an issue, according to a faculty colleague. "No one was concerned that she was a woman teaching engineering, because Mid laid down the law for her students," Ed Masteller, professor of biology emeritus, said. "I think that was her military background. She had specific expectations about the way things should be done."
Doherty's all-business comportment must have been contained within Otto Behrend Science, because among her contemporaries she is universally remembered for her infectious sense of merriment, passion for travel and genealogy, and can-do attitude. "My husband and I loved her because she was a fun girl, a really fun girl," says retired physical education instructor Irene Edwards. "She was so interesting, and just a delight to be around."
Although Doherty lived in a small Behrend family-era cabin near what is now Lilley Library during the week, she entertained at her home in Centerville, a farmhouse originally owned by her Irish grandparents. Masteller and his wife, Marianna, would make the trip to Crawford County for picnics, potlucks, and book clubs; Mary Turner, a distant cousin of Doherty's, says she vividly remembers a summer party that ended in fireworks.
Doherty's annual St. Patrick's Day celebration would start with Mass at Immaculate Conception Church of Mageetown. (Doherty's mother's family, the Magees, had founded both the church and community.) After that came the 'tin band,' a boisterous parade of revelers who walked back to Doherty's home for dinner and Irish coffee. "We'd march with kettles and spoons, banging and making noise and having a great time," Edwards says.
After her retirement, Doherty's passions were traveling to visit family and friends and researching the genealogy of the Doherty and Magee families. She created a small museum space within Immaculate Conception to display artifacts related to the area's early Irish Roman Catholic settlers and cataloged and mapped the graves in the church's cemetery, where she was buried following her death in April 1985.
More About Mildred
Born: October 7, 1909, in Franklin.
Education: 1926 graduate of Oil City High School; 1932 graduate of Saint Xavier College (now University) in Chicago with a B.S. in mathematics and minors in chemistry and physics.
According to Irene Edwards, Doherty said she was able to attend college only because of significant scholarship support. "She would take the bus back and forth from Oil City to Chicago. I remember her very funny stories about that. It was always an adventure, but then she was an adventurous critter."
Continuing education: Also studied at St. Louis University, Grove City College, Clarion University, and the University of Houston.
Career detour: Doherty left the U.S. Signal Corps to care for her aging parents. During that time she worked as the librarian at Titusville High School.
A word from her niece: "Aunt Mid was the one person—and I've never met another person like her—who never said anything bad about anybody," says Nancy Cotter, daughter of Mildred's sister Margaret. "Never negative. No gossip. That was something I really admired about her."
A warm send-off: For her retirement in 1970, Doherty's Behrend colleagues bought her Centerville home's first furnace. She threw a furnace-warming party and had all the guests sign their name on the unit.

Behrend student returns to regional Science Olympiad as a judge
One of the Science Olympiad's stated goals is "to create a passion for learning science." If the organization is looking for an ambassador, it need not look any further than Gary Fye.
Fye, a first-year Biomedical Engineering major at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, was a volunteer judge at the regional Science Olympiad held at Behrend this March.
More than 400 students from thirty-three area school districts competed in forty-six science-related events. Among the participating schools was North Clarion High School, which happens to be Fye's high school alma mater.
From grades seven through twelve, Fye participated in the Science Olympiad. In fact, he took first place in at least one event every year but ninth grade.
"The time just never seemed to last long enough," Fye said. "It was something I really, really enjoyed."
That enjoyment is still present today. Although Fye was at home in Leeper, Pa., for spring break, he traveled on a bus with his former high school just so he could volunteer his time at the Science Olympiad.
Experimental Design, the event Fye judged, had participants experiment with a springboard and then propose a hypothesis based on that experiment. Experiments like this are what helped pique Fye's interest in science and engineering years ago.
"It broadens your horizons. You really get a feel for lab work," he said.
After attending his first Science Olympiad, Fye's interest in science only grew. In middle school and early high school, he was appropriately nicknamed "Gary Fye the Science Guy." The name referred to Fye's love of science, but it was also a word play on Bill Nye, who was the host of the popular PBS children's show "Bill Nye the Science Guy." Fye also happened to be a big fan of Nye, which made the nickname an even better fit.
The Science Olympiad influenced Fye in another way as well. The event exposed him to Penn State Behrend.
"I would actually put that as one of the number one reasons as to why I'm here at Behrend," Fye said. "It definitely introduced me to engineering concepts."
So far, Behrend has been a good fit.
Earlier this winter, Nye visited Behrend as part of the college's Speaker Series. Given his natural love of science and interest in the Science Guy, Fye was more than a little excited when he heard the news.
"I sat in the front row," he said with a smile.

Q: Cross-compiling Snap7 for MIPS with OpenWrt as OS Currently i'm working on a project to log data out of a Siemens PLC. To achieve this i'm using Snap7. Snap7 (http://snap7.sourceforge.net/) is a communication library.
I've managed to get it work on my linux desktop but when i try to cross-compile the snap7 library i get some errors
The error is generated when linking all of the object files.
g++ -shared -fPIC -o ../bin/mips-openwrt-linux-g++/libsnap7.so @"filelist.txt" -L.  -lpthread -lrt  -O3
/usr/bin/ld: ../temp/mips-openwrt-linux/sys_snap_msgsock.o: Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 8)
./temp/mips-openwrt-linux/sys_snap_msgsock.o: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [../bin/mips-openwrt-linux-g++/libsnap7.so] Error 1

If i'm correct i think it's using the wrong linker, it should use the linker of the toolchain located at: openwrt/staging_dir/toolchain-mips_34kc_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/bin/
I've also tried to compile the software with mips-openwrt-linux-g++.
Now another error is given:
mips-openwrt-linux-g++ -shared -fPIC -o ../bin/mips-openwrt-linux-g++/libsnap7.so @"filelist.txt" -L.  -lpthread -lrt  -O3
openwrt/staging_dir/toolchain-mips_34kc_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2/lib/gcc/mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc/4.8.3/../../../../mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: ../temp/mips-openwrt-linux/sys_snap_msgsock.o: relocation R_MIPS_26 against `close' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
../temp/mips-openwrt-linux/sys_snap_msgsock.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [../bin/mips-openwrt-linux-g++/libsnap7.so] Error 1

I hope someone is familiar with this error and can help me out.
Thanks in advance.
edit1:
There are some pre-compiled binaries. In the makefiles i changed the CC to my g++ directory. There is no LD flag so i cannot set my linker over there.

A: Can you cross compile and run a "hello world" program?
What is the output of file ../temp/mips-openwrt-linux/sys_snap_msgsock.o?

Q: ets:match does not return expected value I'm having trouble with ets:match. In the following code I expect the ets:match to return 1 found value, but none is returned. Why ?
1> T = ets:new(xxx, []).
16400
2> ets:insert(T, {a, b, c, d}).
true
3> ets:match(T, {'_', '_', '_', '_'}).
[[]]

A: You probably want ets:match_object/2 instead:
> ets:match_object(T, {'_', '_', '_', '_'}).
[{a,b,c,d}]

When using ets:match/2, the pattern should include some atoms like '$1', '$2' and so on.  The result will be a list of lists, where each sublist will contain the corresponding elements in the order given by the magic atoms.  For example, to get the last three elements in reverse order:
> ets:match(T, {'_', '$3', '$2', '$1'}).
[[d,c,b]]

Since you didn't use any such atoms in your match, zero elements are returned for each match; thus the list containing one empty list, [[]].

El logotipo de la marca país de España, más conocido como logotipo de España o Sol de Miró, es la imagen simbólica y representativa de la marca país de España, considerada un caso exitoso de country branding. Fue diseñada por el pintor español Joan Miró en 1983 a petición del Gobierno de España para identificar al país como destino turístico internacional. Es propiedad de Turespaña y su logo oficial.

El Sol de Miró fue el primer símbolo de carácter abstracto que se ha usado para identificar a un país, y contribuyó de manera determinante a forjar una nueva imagen de España. Según la Organización Mundial del Turismo, España es el cuarto país con más visitas anuales, 4,7 millones en 2020. El modelo de turismo español ha sido imitado por multitud de países, que tras el nacimiento de la Marca España diseñaron sus propios logotipos.

Descripción del logotipo

Análisis formal
Posee un ratio de 32:35 (6.4 × 7) y está conformado por los siguientes colores:

A pesar de que el logotipo es casi tricolor, una pequeña área es de color verde pálido y sirve de contraste visual. Rojo, amarillo y verde son colores análogos de gama cálida. Una versión en escala de grises es ofrecida en la Estrategia de Marketing del Instituto de Turismo de España, los cuales son 70% gris para el verde, 15% gris para el amarillo, y 50% gris para el rojo.

En el Sol de Miró se distinguen una estrella con forma de asterisco en la esquina superior izquierda y un círculo en el centro que representa el sol de España. El relleno del sol es rojo y el trazo es negro y grueso, además de un trazo parcial amarillo que lo envuelve.

La distribución de la estrella y el círculo equilibran la composición. La palabra «ESPAÑA» de la parte inferior están escritas a mano con brocha en una caligrafía negra e irregular. Algunas de sus partes están también coloreadas.

Conceptualización
El concepto del logo se puede resumir en el nombre de la campaña: Spain everything under the sun ('España todo bajo el Sol'). El todo implica diversidad, reflejado en las formas desiguales de la palabra escrita, mientras que la paleta de colores representa la bandera de España. Según el investigador F. Parra Montero, el sol en la obra de Miró representa la mediterraneidad del artista, es decir, su cultura y su forma de vivir, y aparece en varios de sus cuadros, como Personaje delante del sol (1968), Autorretratos IV y II (1938) o el Mural del Sol (1957) que se encuentra en la sede de la UNESCO de París.

Historia
Fue diseñada por el pintor español Joan Miró en 1983 a petición de Ignacio Vasallo, director general de Turespaña, el instituto de turismo público español. En un principio el encargo fue para el equipo técnico de la Dirección General, pero «sólo recibió propuestas que recordaban a Naranjito, por lo que se vio en la necesidad de acudir a grandes pintores españoles y aún vivos en aquel momento» . Vasallo comentó en entrevistas posteriores que antes de acudir a Miró, había escrito a Dalí y a Tàpies, pero de ninguno obtuvo respuesta.

La primera campaña en la que salió el Sol de Miró como logo oficial de España fue Spain everything under the sun ('España todo bajo el Sol'), que tuvo lugar entre 1984 y 1990. Previamente, los gobiernos autonómicos de España ya habían hecho sus propias campañas turísticas, pero esta sería la primera campaña lanzada por España como un todo.

La estrella y el sol fueron tomados de un cartel que Miró realizó en 1967 para una exposición-homenaje a Picasso, en la Fundación Maeght (Saint Paul de Vence), y la palabra «España» fue tomada del cartel La Fiesta que Miró había creado un año antes para representar a España en el Mundial de Fútbol de 1982. Esta selección fue llevada a cabo por Aureliano Torrente, Alejandro Gómez y Francesc Farreras. Este último ejecutó la composición bajo el beneplácito de Miró. El pintor no quiso cobrar nada por él, y donó los derechos de imagen «por el Rey y por el Gobierno». Fue su última obra antes de morir, pocos meses después, a los noventa años.

El logo ha salido en otras campañas posteriores de la Marca España:

Recepción
El consultor de posicionamiento estratégico Jack Trout, fundador de Trout & Partners, comentó que el logo de Miró es «espectacular». Bill Baker, reconocido por su posicionamiento de marcas de turismo, considera el Sol de España como «una referencia a nivel mundial». En un artículo de enero de 2003 en The New York Times, Sarah Baker señalaba:

Es también uno de los 29 logotipos del libro TM: Las historias no contadas tras 29 logos clásicos (2014), de Mark Sinclair, que lo describe como «uno de los logos más perdurables del mundo».

Sin embargo, el logotipo también tiene sus críticos, especialmente durante sus primeros años de uso; por aquella época lo calificaron como «el huevo frito de Miró».

Sol de Miró en la cultura

 En 2009, el músico Salvador Brotons compuso la obra El Sol de Miró, aludiendo a esta imagen.
 La antigua página web Olé, el primer buscador de habla hispana, tenía un logo inspirado en el Sol de Miró.
 El logo de la Real Federación Española de Fútbol entre 1990 y 2021 se inspiraba en el Sol de Miró.
 La portada del diario El Mundo Salud del 20 de junio de 2021 es una versión del Sol de Miró para representar a un coronavirus, por el ilustrador G. Sanz.

REVIEW | Bring On The Bollywood | Belgrade Theatre
Bring On The Bollywood is a glittering production charged by the beauty of the Indian culture, complete with excellent comedy and a dazzling set.
Phizzical Productions in association with the Belgrade Theatre have created a show that intertwines the British and Indian cultures and stereotypes. When 32-year-old doctor Katrina (Sohm Kapila), who has a passion for Bollywood dancing, travels back to see her family in India for her brother's wedding, her family are determined to find her a husband. Her mother (Sakuntala Ramanee) is blinded by the glamour of being an Indian housewife and is unable to understand why her daughter would want to live in England and maintain a successful career.
Katrina bumps into English architect Ronny (Adam Samuel-Bal), who boards the plane clutching an urn as he is travelling to India to collect some ancient water to help his sick father. When they meet on the plane, their eyes catch, sparking a romance that we witness develop throughout the show, complete with twists and turns along the way.
The show also tells the story of English-born Amit (Rishi Nair), who moves to India to pursue a career in the film industry and falls in love with Rekha (Nikkita Chadha) who is arranged to marry Katrina's brother, nicknamed 'Lucky' (Bhavin Bhatt).
Sohm Kapila is exceptional as Katrina, the strong female role that fights against the boundaries set upon her by her family is written flawlessly. The comedy in the production is sublime, and Kapila's animated characterisation, witty remarks and spoken thoughts set the hilarious tone for the show. This is enhanced by her brother, nicknamed 'Lucky', who provides a lot of humour through his dim-witted and egocentric nature, his comedy timing is phenomenal and had the audience roaring with laughter.
The production explores the ideas around arranged marriage, feminism and a woman's place in society. Despite these important themes, it's a ravishing and colourful show intensified with the use of contemporary Indian music.
Choreographers Leena Patel, Subhash Viman and Sonia Sabri have superbly mastered the exotic intricacy of the Bollywood style of dance, from sumptuous romantic numbers to the vibrancy of the upbeat dances. When the stage is filled with the cast, it creates a passionate performance that is simply spectacular. The choreography is complimented by stunning costumes, designed by the writer and director Samir Bhamra.
The show works exceptionally in the round, the audience feel part of the action and become truly immersed in the Bollywood ambience. The staging allows the audience to engage with the characters, it's a complex storyline with a multitude of character relationships, yet it is depicted clearly on stage.
The set itself is lit beautifully, with gleaming lights and an array of colour, the production has not held back on the lusterously designed set. Despite each scene having the perfect balance of pace, this is lost through the transitions, as backstage crew are used to move the set around. The piece would flow a lot better if the characters transitioned the set between each scene in a creative way.
Described as a musical, the numbers are predominantly dance based however there are a few solos and duets sung within the show that work tremendously. Within a comedic production, the songs provide a warming element to the show which portray the character's deeper emotions, creating a compelling performance.
Bring On The Bollywood is an animated show bursting with colour and vitality that is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud.

I'm now in the 10th grade at Royal Secondary School. Our class is a division of two classe; science and the business. I take science subject to help me accomplish my goal of becoming an engineer. The subjects that I need to help me reach my career goal are:- Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM). The reason I want be an engineer is that our country has very few engineers. One of my biggest dreams is to have enough wealth that I can help my relatives and help those who are in need of support such as as orphans. I am helped by MAD. I give all my thanks to Mama Henry (Theresa) and may God bless her with her family. At school, I have many friends such as David, Nobert, Said, Denis, Owen, Hassan, and Yuda but my best friends are David, Nobert and Saidi. The reason they are my best friends is that they are the ones who I normally study with, they aim higher and they always give me advice when I have a problem that I need help with.

The reason they are my best friends is that they are the ones who I normally study with, they aim higher and they always give me advice when I have a problem that I need help with.
I'm fine and I hope you are fine too. This is my blog about what I have done since the beginning of this year. During the holidays, I always like helping my grandmother because she is the one who raised me and cared for me until I was sponsored.
School opened on the 9th of January and now I'm in the tenth grade. Before starting classes, I was told by other students who had already passed 10th grade that it is hard to understand what is taught because of the large amount of notes one has to write and little amount of time to do revision. Due to hearing the other students advise and experience, I was able to prevent having the same problem. At the beginning of this year, my form (9th grade) two national results were due and I'm very happy that I had division one pass which is the best score in Tanzania passing with As and Bs!
Also in this term we will be having school competitions for soccer between our school and a neighboring school called, Elimo. I'm very happy because soccer is my favorite sport and I'm one of the participating players of my school team.
Hi everyone! I've been position 3 out of 24 students. I've maintained the same position before. My aim now is to be # 1 at school.
Just recently school closed for holiday, I used my time to help my grandparents and filled my timetable for my personal studies in order to achieve what I had planned before to be position 1.
Also, I had a good time with friends playing football. It's my favorite sport which I enjoy. I also don't want to forget to inform you guys that I will be sitting for my national examinations in November this year. I have one month left and I will be doing a lot of revision by using different materials. I promise you that I will do better than you could ever imagine. When the results are out, I will be there to inform you all on how I did.
Lastly, I need a lot of prayers from you to help me so I can perform well and succeed! Thank you, Juma.
Looking forward to sports day!
Tomorrow is sports day at Royal Academy – I am going to participate in football and I'll be excited if we win!
We get a special lunch that I'm really looking forward to of chicken and chips. usually we have Ugali, so it will be nice to have something different!
I am studying hard so that I get A's in my national exams in November. I think my best subjects will be Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
Next time I update my blog I will share my results.
I am writing my blog to all of you so I can tell you the things that I was interested in. I am now at school and on the first time I came to school there was an announcement which we were given by the teacher on duty. The announcement was about Form Four's graduation. When I heard the announcement I remembered that my sister too is graduating this term. I believe that she graduated well on graduation day with and all the others.
On our graduation day there were gifts that were given to students who performed well and in our class I was one of them. Also in this term I was chosen as the "Sports Perfect" because I participated well in all the games.
But before that three of us who did well in our studies were chosen and taken to Mwanza. At that region we saw many things and we went to many areas. One of the places we went was the Sukuma Museum. There we saw many things and I learned how the Sukuma people lived in the past. Also we went to the Saanane island which is in the middle of Lake Victoria. On the island I saw animals and went in areas where there was good and fresh air.
I thank those who paid for us to go on the trip because I never knew one day I would see Lake Victoria with m own eyes, other than seeing it in the textbooks. Also I thank Mama Theresa for paying my school fees. May God be with her and her family, without forgetting her husband.
For term 3 of the 2015 school year, Juma has a B average and placed 4 out of 29 students.

Amber Alert: Search for missing 3-year-old girl in North Carolina enters second day
by: Andy Long
JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) – The search for a missing 3-year-old girl in North Carolina entered its second day Tuesday.
Mariah Woods is the subject of an Amber Alert after she went missing from her home on Dawson Cabin Road.
On Monday, crews spent all day searching the area and on Tuesday resumed their search with additional police units and assistance from the FBI.
The search is being conducted both by ground and by air with drones and helicopters.
In a Facebook post, the Onslow County Sheriff's Office said they have sufficient resources for continued searches but did give contact information in case someone spots the girl.
Woods has been described as a white female about 2 feet, 9 inches tall, weighing 30 pounds. She has blond hair and blue eyes.
Kristy Woods, Mariah's mother, is pleading for her daughter to be returned safely.
"'I'll do anything that I can, whatever you want," said Woods. "Just bring her home please safe and sound. She's my baby. She's my everything."
Woods said she woke up Monday morning and noticed her daughter was missing from her bedroom.
She says the last time she saw her daughter was around 11:00 p.m. Sunday when she went to check on her.
Family members said there was no sign of forced entry or anything wrong with Mariah's room but did mention the back door was unlocked.
Once they realized Mariah was missing, Woods and her live-in boyfriend called authorities.
Family members said Mariah has an orthopedic leg problem, so when she walks her left leg is thrown around and causes her to wobble.
Mariah's grandmother said due to her grandaughter's walking issues, she can't imagine her wandering off.
The family also said Mariah would not have left with a stranger.
The Sheriff's Office checked with Mariah's biological father but said he does not have the girl.
The girl's two older brothers were in the house when Maria disappeared.
They made it to school safely.
Mariah's mother describes her as their "little angel," with a goofy, outgoing and talkative personality."
WASHINGTON (AP) — Two U.S. Army National Guard members are being removed from the security mission to secure Joe Biden's presidential inauguration.
A U.S. Army official and a senior U.S. intelligence official say the two National Guard members have been found to have ties to fringe right group militias.

Polished nickel is considered to be the "chameleon of cabinet hardware finishes". Polished nickel has a more understated color compared to polished chrome and brass, but it has a glossy shine. This type of cabinet hardware finish can be used if you want your hardware to blend rather than stand out in a space. The main advantage of nickel cabinet hardware is its high durability, Nickel is one of the strongest metals, and in addition to that it does not rust.
Craftsman style kitchens are always directly associated with stunning cabinetry. Classified under the traditional style, the craftsman kitchen cabinet style originated during the 19th century as a result of the popular Arts and Crafts Movement. (Take a look at our gallery of craftsman kitchen cabinets on this page). Craftsman style kitchen cabinets are known for their utilitarian nature. This type of kitchen cabinet style is geared towards functionality rather than ornamentation. It gives more emphasis on craftsmanship and puts premium on simplicity. Although utilitarian in nature, the craftsman style still became one of the most visually captivating and stand out design styles in history. It is the perfect marriage of form and function.

WaterFurnace is committed to bringing you the data that you need to make a smart decision when it comes to the right heating and cooling system. Knowing the available options makes all the difference. The first part in a five part series, this article will go over the basics of a geothermal solution.
So, how does a geothermal system maintain your home's warmth during the winter and cool during the summer? It's all about making the most out of the unused energy that can be found under your feet. The temperature of the earth a few feet below the surface in Columbia stays relatively the same all year long. The unit makes use of this constant temperature by using a loop system to move the warmer temperature from the ground and move it to the home during colder months, and moving the warmer air from the home and dispersing it in the ground during the warmer months.
Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) and Coefficient of Performance (COP) are ratings on how efficient your potential Columbia geothermal system can cool and heat your home, respectively. WaterFurnace geothermal systems retain the highest ratings on the market today. With our Envision series, it leads the way. This geothermal pump offers an unparalleled 30 EER and a 5.1 COP. That's conditioning that will definitely save you green.
For more information on the basics of geothermal heating and cooling systems, please contact WaterFurnace. We possess many years of experience with proper sizing and installation of geothermal heat pumps. We're confident that we can help you. Stay tuned for part two of our series on geothermal systems: Geothermal Heat Pumps.

Why Network Providers Need to Discriminate, Part 27
By Gigi Sohn
Every week we hear a new rationale against net neutrality legislation – telcos want to provide "high value" services, or a "private Internet," or "virtual private networks," all of which allegedly would be prohibited by a requirement that they not use their last-mile bottleneck to discriminate against Internet services, content and applications in which they do not have a financial interest. Now, AP reports that the telcos fear that high definition video will clog the Internet, and that they want to be able to charge video providers to "guarantee" delivery of that content..
I'm sorry to say that this latest rationale for discrimination doesn't wash either. These fears (how ironic that the pro-NN forces are the ones accused of fear-mongering) are based on absurd assumptions about how people use the Internet – that people will start watching streaming video like they do regular TV – for 8 hours a day, or that, as the AP story states "everyone in a neighborhood is trying to download the evening news at the same time." We know that this won't happen any time soon, if ever. Also, and this should be no surprise, the telcos are not revealing how much it would really cost to provide the best solution to the problem – building a fatter pipe.
Indeed, Internet2's Gary Bachula testified a few months ago that the best, and most cost-effective way to deal with any capacity issues is to make the pipe fatter. Internet2, which is the next-generation Internet available only at Universities and colleges, considered both a discrimination-based model and a 100 MG pipe model, and chose the latter. If telcos and cable companies are permitted to create a two-lane Internet w. tolls for access to the high-speed lane, they will have no incentive to build the fat pipe, because they would then lose the revenue from the high-speed lane.
In the short term, there are other non-discriminatory ways to deal with this so-called "choking" of the Internet. One way is to put a cap on he amount of data that a user gets for free, and then charge extra if that person uses more, like cellphone usage. To the extent that the telcos argue that only a small fraction of broadband users are "bandwidth hogs," most users will be unaffected, and the broadband companies can recover their costs

Der Runenstein 2 von Østermarie ( – auch DR 391 oder DK Bh 52 genannt) besteht aus drei zusammengesetzten Fragmenten. Der Runenstein steht aufrecht zwischen der neuen Kirche und der Kirchenruine von Østermarie auf der dänischen Ostseeinsel Bornholm. Sein Erhaltungszustand ist gut.

Der Stein wurde 1869 im Bericht des Priesters erwähnt. Die ersten Fragmente wurden 1624 und 1869 gefunden. Das letzte der drei Fragmente wurde 1885 beim Abbruch der alten Kirche gefunden. Der Stein aus Granit ist 1,45 m hoch, 21 bis 22 cm breit und 28 bis 32 cm dick.

Der unverzierte Runenstein gehört zur Gruppe der späten Bornholmer Steine aus der Übergangszeit zwischen der Wikingerzeit (800 bis 1050 n. Chr.) und dem älteren Mittelalter (1075–1125 n. Chr.)

Die Inschrift lautet in Norsk: "Barne og Sibbe og Tue de reiste stenen etter deres far Keltil. Krist hjelpe hans sjel". Übersetzt: Barne, Sibbe und Tue errichten den Stein nach ihrem Vater Keld. Christus helfe seiner Seele.

Barne und Tue sind auch auf dem Runenstein 3 von Østermarie (DK Bh 53) vertreten, den sie für ihren Bruder Sibbe errichteten. Die Inschriftformel auf Bh 52 ist für Bornholmer Runensteine typisch. Atypisch ist der Ort der Inschrift an den Schmalseiten des Steins. Die Inschrift ist parallel ausgerichtet und in Bustrophedon (ochsenwendig) in zwei Linien auf jeder Schmalseite. Die Schriftzeilen sind durch einen Strich getrennt. Die Inschrift beginnt rechts unten auf der Seite A. Auf Seite B setzt sie sich in der linken Zeile fort, jedoch nicht ganz unten, dort steht das letzte Wort.

In der Nähe liegt das Ganggrab Hallebrøndshøj. Der Runenstein 5 von Østermarie (DR 394 – auch Bh 55) wurde auch zwischen den Kirchen aufgestellt.

HITLER'S LAST HOSTAGES
Looted Art and the Soul of the Third Reich
By Mary M. Lane
In 2012, German authorities broke into a Munich apartment belonging to a reclusive octogenarian named Cornelius Gurlitt. Inside, they found approximately 1,200 works of superlative art, by artists including Renoir, Picasso, Matisse and Degas. Gurlitt had drawn suspicion in 2010 when he had been stopped on a train from Switzerland to Munich carrying 9,000 euros in cash — an amount below the legal requirement for declaration, but enough to raise concerns of money laundering. Following up, the German police discovered that Gurlitt was selling artworks without paying taxes. In response, they confiscated his collection and opened an investigation.
For almost two years, German authorities kept the discovery of Gurlitt's stash confidential. They saw no need to share the information publicly as they considered it, at least officially, a routine case of tax evasion. What they could easily have guessed if they had done a simple Google search (as one young officer did) was that Gurlitt's trove was a collection of works that had been confiscated, looted or bought under dubious circumstances during the Nazi regime. Gurlitt's father, Hildebrand, had served as part of a small but powerful cabal of art dealers, working directly on behalf of the Führer, on a dual mission: to sell works of "degenerate art" to benefit the Nazi war machine, and to establish a world-class museum of "great German art" in Hitler's hometown of Linz. In the chaotic aftermath of World War II, Hildebrand Gurlitt was able to convince the authorities he had done nothing untoward. As a result, he was never brought to justice and was allowed to keep his collection, which he then bequeathed to his children, Cornelius and Benita.
Mary M. Lane was working for The Wall Street Journal when a German magazine broke the news of the Gurlitt discovery in 2013. Lane spent the next several years reporting on the collection and the German government's bungling of the case. Among other dubious decisions, German officials refused, with one sole exception, to acknowledge any moral aspects concerning the stolen artworks of dozens, if not hundreds, of persecuted families, many of whom perished in Nazi camps.
The result of Lane's research is "Hitler's Last Hostages," a scrupulous account of Hitler's abiding obsession with art and Germany's cultural patrimony that set the stage for the Gurlitt gambit. Lane argues that Hitler's fixation was a core element of his fascist ideology. To establish her point, she recounts his early attempt at an artistic career and the role of art and artists in the tumultuous time from World War I to the early 1950s.
Lane gives a detailed account of the team Hitler dispatched across Europe, including Gurlitt, which effectively reconfigured the history of art across the Continent. Wielding the label of "degenerate art" as a cudgel, Hitler and his henchmen ruined the careers of significant artists, sending them into exile or to their deaths, sometimes by suicide. (Lane notes that many of these "degenerate" artists now command the world's highest auction prices.) In an especially long aside, Lane details the life of George Grosz, whose career she offers as a model of moral and political engagement — one that was ultimately derailed by Nazi harassment and ended with his migration to the United States.
The narrative can sometimes feel meandering, in particular her detailed account of the art scenes of the interwar years and Grosz's biography. What's more, her insistence that Hitler always saw himself as an artist as much as a political leader reads as credulous to the Führer's calculated self-presentation. But she makes a convincing, full-throated case for the German government to amend its laws and practices regarding looted property. She notes that the statute of limitations for recouping stolen art expired in 1970; that it is incumbent on families who lost property to provide documentation (a near impossibility for many); and that laws and systems to encourage restitution are feeble at best. "The prevailing German attitude was that the Holocaust should be remembered annually in speeches and ceremonies, but its victims should let go of hope that they would recover stolen property," she writes.
In spite of Germany's official stance of Wiedergutmachung, or restitution, Lane laments that German government policy regarding stolen property remains insufficient and, indeed, unimproved since the Gurlitt scandal surfaced. "Until Hitler's Last Hostages are acknowledged, freed and returned," she concludes, "the moral stain of the 1930s and 1940s remains in Germany."

Simon Cowell facing battle with ITV over Louis Walsh's X Factor 2016 comeback
Broadcaster reportedly wants someone else to replace Nick Grimshaw
Posted April 1, 2016 10:40 by Matt Scott
The X Factor 2020
Louis Walsh may be in 'final talks' to return for The X Factor 2016 - but it seems Simon Cowell will have to win a war with ITV to get his way.
Yesterday it was rumoured that Louis, who left the X Factor last year after eleven series as a judge, will "almost certainly" make a comeback after he flew to LA for meetings with Simon.
However, fresh reports today suggest that ITV has different ideas on who should fill Nick Grimshaw's spot on the panel.
According to the Daily Star, claims that Louis is on the verge of a comeback are "premature".
"At the moment it seems Simon and ITV are at loggerheads," an insider commented.
Simon is said to be eager to get Louis back on the show after concluding that last year's series may have lost viewers to Strictly Come Dancing thanks to its relatively young line-up.
"Simon didn't really want Louis to go in the first place," a source told The Sun. "Simon wants an older person back after admitting last year's series was too youthful."
Grimmy revealed that he'd left The X Factor in February, claiming that he only ever wanted to do one series.
There have been no official announcements on who is on the panel this year, though it's believed that Simon is sticking around.
One person that's definitely back is presenter Dermot O'Leary, who has already filmed an advert to promote auditions for the new series.
Former X Factor creative director Brian Friedman this week revealed that he's also interested in returning.
As far as the format goes, bosses have confirmed that the room auditions will be revived for 2016 - though fans may not be so happy to hear that the Six Chair Challenge is also set to stay.

Yakob
Heated Stew	Uncategorized	 April 11, 2020 3 Minutes
The Rift Valley has many large lakes. The leprosarium was on the Eastern side of the Rift Valley
Well, young Yacob* isn't young any longer. He has seven children and two grandchildren; he lives in Australia and holds a significant government appointment. He was offered an ambassador post in an African country but refused it. But he was just a school kid when I met him.
He was a mid-teen at that time. He was going to school, I think, in grade 3. After that He did 2 grades each year and eventually had to leave our area to do grades 11 and 12 in a bigger school. He was bright. Then he was forced into military service and eventually got to Australia with a bit of help. He had hoped to become a doctor but wasn't allowed into medical school here.
But I didn't meet him because of his studies. In the evenings and during the holidays he worked in the leprosy hospital operating room complex. Working in a leprosarium 1968-74 There were, of course, others working there too. Most of them were treated or being treated leprosy patients. One had no fingers but he looked after the sterilising system. Sterilising was done there for the whole compound – 2 hospitals with an OR each, and 2 outpatient departments. It ran almost 24/7. The nurse from the leprosy hospital came into the operating room when we were operating under a general anaesthetic to watch at the anaesthetic end, after I had put the patient to sleep. (This was at a hospital about 20 years before the time with the 3 teenagers). Follow up on Mesfin of the '3 Teenagers' She didn't scrub. If Yacob* was there he did. We didn't have an assistant scrub also, so he had to do both the scrub nurse and the assistant's duties. Often I didn't have to ask for an instrument because he was watching, knew what I needed, and put it into my hand. He was good! I only had 2 people scrubbed with me for two types of operations – open prostatectomies and spinal fusions.
Later he did small procedures like suturing and removing dead bones from leper's feet. One of our sons fell and cut his head while I was away. Yakob sutured it up.
We had a number of kids come in on whom we had to do tracheostomies (ie open into the trachea through the neck) because they had obstructed airways from inhaled foreign bodies – usually corn or beads. We didn't have all the fancy instruments available to do it through the mouth. The problem was that after surgery they needed intensive watching with frequent aspiration of mucus through the trachy tube before we could remove the tube and let the wound heal. Maybe for 3 or 4 days. There was no other worker apart from him who would watch the patients overnight. So we used to bring a suction machine, an oxygen bottle, and the patient into our home lounge. We had a timer to wake Yacob* up at regular intervals and he slept on our sofa – all 6'3" of him! (For people with head injuries and with regular observations ordered if we happened to go back to the hospital – say at 2am – the obs would be written up until 6am, and the worker asleep.)
He knew 7 languages and in a hospital where they spoke 15 different languages, as the patients came from all the southern parts, he was often used as an interpreter. He was a great kid.
In Australia he became a nurse; did a bachelor and masters' degrees in medical science; studied admin, and has been CEO of a rehabilitation department for over 30 years.
Surely he must retire soon.

Another great story Dom.
Amazing how many people know multiple languages. Not always languages we'd expect them to know, but still fluent in many.
Some people seem to have the knack. I would have appreciated it!
One of our daughters has the knack.

A speed limit for spins
A universal Doppler effect limits the maximal spin current in magnetic insulators which have been driven out of equilibrium by magnetic fields. These findings by an international research team present a surprising parallel to what happens in superconductors driven by electric fields and could aid the design of future nano-devices.
Stabilising superconductivity with laser light
MPSD researchers discover a long-lived superconducting state in K3C60 at a temperature five times higher than the one at which superconductivity sets in without photoexcitation. This metastable state, produced with a new type of laser, lasts nearly 10.000 times longer than previously achieved.
