A series of 35 photographs portraying mostly government staff members, taken on location in their respective office and involved daily in administering concrete conflict-related issues.
In most instances, images of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have depicted destructions, political activities, and violent human relationships, focusing on news or documenting anecdotic situations. Media coverage and analyses often respond to the problematic of the moment, and consider how macro-political entities and individual leaders interact.
Series of 35 photo portraits of Israeli, Palestinian and foreign officials involved in managing the peace process in Israel-Palestine, edited as a slideshow with recorded audio interviews. A document that testifies about personal motivations of these expert staff, beyond the usual diplomatic and media representations of a conflict entrenched in the contradictions of its actors.
This project, produced in 2007, focuses on civil servants, as well as some military personnel and civil activists, on the Israeli and Palestinian sides, as well as among the international community operating locally. As such, it depicts the more realistic, less glamorous, drier and more concrete professional aspects of the conflict, mitigated by these people's individuality and demonstrates a reality usually not seen. Indirectly, it looks at the local heavy administrative machinery tasked to implement official policies.
Available as a multimedia piece, mixing still portraits and edited audio from recorded interviews, this work can be shown on a computer screen or projected on a wall, although the main concept is to organise an installation reproducing an office in a gallery context. The idea is to build a space where the viewers could consult the work sitting at a desk with various elements of stationary onto it. They could thus look at the prints organized in separate binders by nationality, and watch the slideshow on a computer while listening to the audio using an old telephone linked to the computer like a headphone.
Bureaucrats: Israeli, Palestinian & foreign officials in peacemaking from Collateral Creations on Vimeo.
Shot in the summer 2007 over two months, and based on the photographer's expertise in the region and facilitated access to key players, this project presents 35 portraits of peace officials and ancillaries in their workplace.
Shown as an installation at LCC (London) in 2007 and distributed via various online photography magazines.

Inflatables Give Structure To Air
[Image: A project by Haus-Rucker-Co].
Three men with oversize briefcases show up in New York City. They drop their cases onto the sidewalk and leave them there, disguised amongst the workday crowds, several blocks away from one another, unattended. Ten minutes later, the cases pop open: a whirring sound is heard as small industrial fans begin to operate, inflating carefully packed chains of linked polyethylene structures. Buildings emerge, expanding out from each case until entire rooms and corridors block the street. No one knows how to turn the fans off. The buildings are growing, labyrinthine, turning corners now and halting traffic. A news helicopter captures the scene from above as the transparent walls of huge empty buildings made of air flash with the colored lights of police cars.
[Image: An "inflatable nested toroid structure" patented by NASA (PDF)].
A man toils for thirteen years, sending ever-more complex test diagrams off to polyethylene factories in Florida. He wants to know how much it would cost for them to manufacture these parts he's been designing, and designing well: temporary inflatable rooms that link off from other rooms, multi-scalar gaskets able to withstand knife attacks, even strange, one-time entry points that can be resealed from within. A retired cargo pilot, he dreams of giving structure to air. He writes, Man can live on air alone!, and sketches obscene bulbous shapes on paper napkins to the discomfort of passing strangers.
[Image: Inflatable toroid test; via NASA/Wikipedia].
A building made of polyethylene and sealed air takes shape on a beach near Cape Canaveral. Tourists flock to it, taking selfies and filming short videos with their kids. But the midday sun is relentless; the structure is heating and the winds are picking up. Within two hours, the complex inflated shape begins to tremble and beat against the sand, until, accompanied by an audible gasp from the assembled crowd, it is sucked out to sea. It tumbles and rolls and rises through the sky, a spinning point reflecting glints of subtropical sunlight as it disappears over the Atlantic horizon. No one can say who it was, but all witnesses insist there was a man inside. Sure enough, smartphone video of the structure being lifted over the waves reveals a man bracing himself against the interior walls, bearing an expression somewhere between mania and glee. Two weeks later, French police find him, disoriented and unshaven, lacking his passport, at a seaside bar in Arcachon. "I have a very strange story to tell you," he slurs, before falling off his seat.

Shelved in the Sky
I couldn't resist this photo of a man blown off his feet by high winds on the British coast.
[Image: Photo by Steve Poole/Rex Features, via the Guardian].
How could we take better spatial advantage of meteorological situations like this, I wonder, whether that means designing parachute-like clothing lines for weekend air-surfing or perhaps manufacturing perfectly weighted hovering objects so that we could shelve things in the air, stationary but airborne, even whole rooms lifting off the ground to pause, several feet above the surface of the earth, looking out over the battered sea?

The B-flat Range
[Image: Jackie Dee Grom, Antarctic ventifacts. From Cabinet].
Katabatic Winds
In the current issue of Cabinet Magazine, Jackie Dee Grom introduces us to ventifacts, or "geologic formations shaped by the forces of wind."
Jackie was a member of the 2004 National Science Foundation's Long-Term Ecological Research project in Antarctica, during which she took beautiful photographs of ventifactual geology – three of which were reproduced in Cabinet. (These are my own scans).
"The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica," she writes, "are home to one of the most extreme environments in the world – a polar desert blasted by ferocious winds, deprived of all but minimal rain, and beset by a mean annual temperature of negative twenty degrees Celsius."
It is there, in the Antarctic Dry Valleys, that "gravity-driven winds pour off the high polar plateau, attaining speeds of up to two hundred kilometers per hour."
In the grip of these aeolian forces, sand and small pebbles hurl through the air, smashing into the volcanic rocks that have fallen from the valley walls, slowly prying individual crystals from their hold, and sculpting natural masterworks over thousands of years. The multi-directional winds in this eerie and isolated wasteland create ventifacts of an exceptional nature, gouged with pits and decorated with flowing flutes and arching curves.
In his recent book Terra Antarctica: Looking into the Emptiest Continent, landscape theorist and travel writer of extreme natural environments William Fox describes similar such ventifacts as having been "completely hollowed out by the wind into fantastic eggshell-thin shapes."
The "cavernous weathering" of multi-directional Antarctic winds – as fast as hurricanes, and filled with geologic debris – can "reduce a granite boulder the size of a couch into sand within 100,000 years."
A part of me, however, can't help but re-imagine these weird and violent geologies as sonic landmarks, or accidental musical instruments in the making. You hear them before you see them, as they scream with polar tempests.
A common theme on BLDGBLOG is the idea that natural landscapes could be transformed over time into monumental sound-generation machines. I've often thought it would be well worth the effort, for instance, if – in the same way that Rome has hundreds of free public fountains to fill the water bottles of thirsty tourists – London could introduce a series of audio listening posts: iPod-friendly masts anchored like totem poles throughout the city, in Trafalgar Square, Newington Green, the nave of St. Pancras Old Church, outside the Millennium Dome.
You show up with your headphones, plug them in – and the groaning, amplified, melancholic howl of church foundations and over-used roadways, the city's subterranean soundtrack, reverbed twenty-four hours a day through contact mics into the headsets of greater London – greets you in tectonic surround-sound. London Orbital, soundtracking itself in automotive drones that last whole seasons at a time.
In any case, looking at photos of ventifacts I'm led to wonder if the entirety of Antarctica could slowly erode over millions of years into a musical instrument the size of a continent. The entire Transantarctic Range carved into flutes and oboes, frigid columns of air blasting like Biblical trumpets – earth tubas – into the sky. The B-flat Range. Somewhere between a Futurist noise-symphony and a Rube Goldberg device made of well-layered bedrock.
Where the design of musical instruments and landscape architecture collide.
[Image: From a truly spectacular collection of Antarctic images at Ross Sea Info].
Flocks of birds in Patagonia hear the valleys rumble, choked and vibrating with every inland storm, atonal chords blaring like fog horns for a thousand of miles. Valve Mountains. Global wind systems change, coiling through hundreds of miles of ventifactual canyons and coming out the other end, turned round upon themselves, playing that Antarctic instrument till it's eroded beneath the sea.
In his ultimately disappointing but still wildly imaginative novella, At the Mountains of Madness, H.P. Lovecraft writes about a small Antarctic expeditionary team that stumbles upon an alien city deep in the continent's most remote glacial valleys. It is a city "of no architecture known to man or to human imagination, with vast aggregations of night-black masonry embodying monstrous perversions of geometrical laws." Its largest structures are "sometimes terraced or fluted, surmounted by tall cylindrical shafts here and there bulbously enlarged and often capped with tiers of thinnish scalloped disks."
Even better, "[a]ll of these febrile structures seemed knit together by tubular bridges crossing from one to the other at various dizzy heights, and the implied scale of the whole was terrifying and oppressive in its sheer gigantism."
More relevant to this post, of course, Lovecraft describes how the continent's "barren" and "grotesque" landscape – as unearthly as it is inhuman – interacted with the polar wind:
Through the desolate summits swept ranging, intermittent gusts of the terrible antarctic wind; whose cadences sometimes held vague suggestions of a wild and half-sentient musical piping, with notes extending over a wide range, and which for some subconscious mnemonic reason seemed to me disquieting and even dimly terrible.
Perhaps his team of adventurers has just stumbled upon the first known peaks of the B-Flat Range…
[Image: Again, from the fantastic collection of Antarctic images at Ross Sea Info].
[For something else also howling an eternal B-flat: "Astronomers in England have discovered a singing black hole in a distant cluster of galaxies. In the process of listening in, the team of astronomers not only heard the lowest sound waves from an object in the Universe ever detected by humans" – but they've discovered that it's emitting, yes, B-flat].

АТ «Кселл» (KASE: KCEL ) — оператор стільникового зв'язку стандарту GSM 900, GSM 1800, UMTS/WCDMA (2100 МГц), LTE/4G (800/1800 МГц), що надає послуги під брендами «Activ» і «Kcell».

Історія
Компанія заснована 30 вересня 1998 року.

В кінці травня 2014 року Kcell оголосила, що стає офіційним дистриб'ютором iPhone в Казахстані.

Власники і керівництво
Акціонером АТ «Кселл» є фінсько-шведсько-турецька компанія «FinTur» (належить TeliaSonera). У лютому 2012 року АТ «Казахтелеком» продала свою частку участі TeliaSonera за ціною 1,519 млрд доларів.

В кінці 2011 року Kcell оголошує IPO. Зокрема, було оголошено про намір провести міжнародне пропозицію простих акцій у формі глобальних депозитарних розписок на Лондонській фондовій біржі і одночасне пропозицію в Казахстані на Казахстанській фондовій біржі у вигляді акцій. В рамках міжнародного пропозиції та місцевого пропозиції було здійснено продаж існуючих акцій, що належать Sonera Holding B. V., дочірньої організації, що знаходиться в повній власності TeliaSonera AB, у розмірі 25% від загальної кількості розміщених простих акцій Kcell. За підсумками IPO компанія отримує "Найкраще IPO".

У лютому 2015-го главою компанії став демократичний Арті Отс, який на першій же зустрічі з журналістами проголосив нову стратегію для компанії. Преса відзначила майже в один голос, що модель комунікацій Арті Отса контрастує з колишніми керівниками Kcell, які були вкрай консервативні і спілкувалися з пресою неохоче. Ринки не відреагували на нове призначення.

Rewarding your dog is the best motivator when training. It is well known that using rewards and other positive reinforcement when obedience training a dog is the most effective method and achieves the best results. You can make obedience training fun for the dog – and yourself too – by making a game of it. This makes both your dog and you, as the trainer, more willing and motivated to give it your all. Incorporate a period of play at the start and the end of each training session to ensure that the session ends positively. Teaching your dog to heel is the most basic of all the obedience commands.
This refers to having the dog walk along with you on a loose lead. Heeling is generally the first obedience behavior taught to a dog, and it is easy to teach this using reward training. Begin the training by getting your dog a good training collar and lead. Make sure the collar is strong and fits the dog properly. If you don't know how to fit the collar, ask a dog trainer or the pet store manager when you buy your training equipment.
As you start to walk with the dog, be aware of the dog's position in relation to your own. If the dog begins to get ahead of you, pull gently on the leash. This will engage the collar and provide the dog with a gentle indication that he should slow down. You may have to apply more pressure in the beginning until your dog learns to accept the discipline. If the dog falls behind, slow down and encourage the dog to come forward. Use a lure or the dog's favorite toy to teach him to walk by your side. If you keep the lure at the position you'd like the dog to be, he will learn quickly to walk in the correct position. Always give your dog lots of praise, treats, toys, and other rewards when he or she does what is expected. Dogs learn best when desired behavior is rewarded in a positive manner. Positive reinforcement means that when a dog does what the trainer wants, the dog receives a reward.
This can be a pat on the head or a treat or toy of some kind. If the dog shows even the slightest attempt to please you, especially at the beginning of training, you should lavish positive reinforcement on him or her. It is much less effective to attempt to train a dog through reprimands and punishment. Dogs become discouraged and confused by too much punishment. You may have to reprimand the dog sometimes to correct a potentially dangerous behavior. For example, chasing cars or biting must be punished, but the reprimands must be direct, short and directly linked to the bad behavior. After the immediate danger is over, training should go on, based on the reward method as before. Dogs must learn to associate rewards with good behaviors and reprimands with undesirable behaviors. It is difficult to change any negative associations once they have taken hold. It's easier to train the dog properly in the first place than to try and retrain him later.
You should teach your dog to associate behaviors like coming when called, heeling, and sitting on command, with the happy and fun times you shared during training.


I have completed my first full week of physical therapy and I am feeling positive about EVERYTHING! First of all, it is brutally hot here in Texas, and this is tough on a girl with MS. All the worst MS symptoms seem to come back with the heat. I am making it, the old repairs are holding and I am still walking around without the aid of a cane or scooter. In PT we are working heavily on balance and strengthening. I feel myself changing even after only a week or so. I am also working at the Music Place and Arts Conservatory. I believe that the Stem Cells are travelling in this body and making repairs. As always, we will have to wait and see! I hope you will be with me on this wait and see journey!
Wouldn't miss it for anything. You GO girl!!
Physical Therapy has made such a big difference for me. I look forward to it every time!
Nicole, I am so glad that physical therapy has been successful for you. A good physical therapist is a treasure!! After a Stem Cell Transplant, when those damaged nerves are getting repaired and the message is finally getting to the muscles, physical therapy can be so, so powerful!!
you make a girl want stem cells!

Graduate Publishes her Applied Dissertation on the Impact of Private Equity Funds on SMEs
2nd Graduation Celebrates Successful Students of the Professional Doctorate in Applied Finance
GIWM congratulates Ms. Sabrina Li Guo, Cohort 2016 Graduate of the Professional Doctorate in Applied Finance, on getting her applied dissertation accepted for publication. Her work, titled "Empirical research on the impact of private equity funds on the value of small and medium-sized enterprises", will be published in the June 2023 edition of the Chinese Journal Management and Administration (ISSN1003-3475). Her work was directed by Prof. Harald Hau (University of Geneva) and Prof. Li Lihui (Tsinghua University).
In the article, the author argues that private equity funds have promoted the overall upgrading and transformation of core technologies in high-tech industries, and have gradually become an important force in China's capital market, playing a key role in promoting the economic prosperity of SMEs. To support this argument, the author uses the data of SMEs listed in Shenzhen Main Board and GEM from 2009 to 2019 to empirically analyze the impact of private equity funds on the value of SMEs. The results show private equity can greatly improve the efficiency and profitability of SMEs. Private equity investment funds also play an important role in corporate governance, which can bring a reasonable ownership structure.
Ms. Li, who benefits from more than 20 years of private equity fund practice, is currently working on an english publication. We support her in sharing her interesting work which has both theoretical and practical significance on the topic of private equity funds.
Explore the work produced within the framework of the professional doctorate. The applied research conducted by our graduate students contains new and interesting results based on sound empirical methods in the field of wealth management..

GIS and GPS have numerous applications in the field of Civil Engineering. In this project, the applications that we run over utilizing GIS and GPS are talked about. Looking over is a crucial piece of foundation advancement, from building streets and correspondence frameworks to setting up transportation systems and pipelines. GIS, what's more, gives give the surveyor precise information in situating and mapping. For a development task to be effective, numerous variables including natural effect, booking clashes, site security, planning and so forth; ought to be considered. GIS programming extraordinarily upgrades the ideal utilization of land, the useful proficiency of a proposed outline, its attractiveness and so forth; GIS is a ground-breaking device in the administration of spatial data and furthermore gives its potential in timberland fire administration.
There are unique uses of GIS in woodland fire administration out of which the most essential ones are Hazard mapping, timberland fire recreation, and asset administration. Tidal waves are a danger to life and property to anyone living close to the seafront. GIS turns out to be a viable instrument for this appraisal. The base guide of the place previously what's more, after tidal wave is gotten. The essential favorable position of utilizing GIS as an information base for transportation information is the reality that GIS can incorporate the spatial information and show the quality information in a client picked arrange. It is extremely useful in following vehicles and finding less demanding courses for voyaging. There are different risks, for example, atomic calamity, synthetic calamity, and so on., for which an online application device, gives an online clearing readiness for subjects living near an atomic power plant, inside mile range.

Written by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Ben Thomas
Performed at The Avondale Theatre, February 2017
The programme you will embark upon is essentially a vocational course, whose principal aims are to provide a comprehensive actors training, and to equip graduates to work in the acting profession. It is also a degree programme offering successful graduates a Bachelor of Arts with Honours qualification. Full government funding is available through Student Finance England for Home and EU students.
Much of your work on this programme will be dedicated to vocal and physical training, to the exploration of a range of techniques for creating and developing character, and for working flexibly and responsively in the space. The modern actor is not just a puppet who regurgitates lines and moves for an audience, but a creative artist, using his/her inner resources to create truthful fictions and constantly seeking new ways to communicate both physically and vocally. Part of the programme will teach you to be original and individual in your work, to reinvent old techniques and develop new ones.
Italia Conti's BA (Hons) Acting Programme does not seek to mould actors to any one method or system for acting. Rather it tries to make available to its students the widest possible range of ideas and training methods, so that each student may begin to construct a personal 'tool box' of working, developing this throughout their life. The programme also aims to produce flexible performers who can work in as wide a range of styles and media as possible. Having said that, the programme does have underlying theories of training and performance, as well as clear philosophies about the roles of drama in society which permeates the teaching.

Q: xcoffins behaviour when joining two instances of the same coffin When I use \JoinCoffin to build a page, and add more than one instance of the same coffin, ongoing references to that coffin appear to behave "sensibly". That is, any reference to the coffin is made to its latest instance.
I realise this usage "works in my case", but would like to know if it is "correct". Is this behaviour a supported feature of xcoffins, or should I avoid it?
Here's a CWE (Compact Working Example!):
% !TEX TS-program = XeLaTeX
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass[a4paper]{memoir}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{xcoffins}
\nonzeroparskip
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\isopage
\checkandfixthelayout
\begin{document}
\NewCoffin \tpage
\NewCoffin \tbar
    \SetHorizontalCoffin \tbar
        {\color{blue} \rule{\textwidth}{1pc}}
\NewCoffin \kim
    \SetHorizontalCoffin \kim
        {\includegraphics[width=2in]{ubiquitous-surveillance-warning.png}}
\JoinCoffins \tpage \tbar
\JoinCoffins \tpage[\tbar-b,\tbar-r] \kim[t,r]
\JoinCoffins \tpage[\kim-b,\kim-r] \tbar[t,r]
% ===================================================================
\JoinCoffins \tpage[\tbar-b,\tbar-l] \kim[t,l] % <-- This is the line
% ===================================================================
\TypesetCoffin \tpage
\end{document}

and its result, in which you can see that the second copy of the graphic is "correctly" placed relative to the second instance of the \tbar coffin:

A: The poles of 'subsidiary' coffins joined onto a main coffin remain available as <subcoffin>-<pole>, so in the example the l pole of coffin \kim remains available as \kim-l after the \kim coffin has been joined to \tpage. This is part of the coffin design concept: complex alignments may require that objects are joined to each other relative to 'internal' structures.
If the same coffin is joined to a 'main' coffin more than once, only the poles most recent join remain available. Thus in example the poles of the first \kim coffin are 'lost'. Thus any coffin which you will later refer to should have a unique name within the set of 'coffins joined together'.
You can see what poles are available using \ShowCoffinStructure <coffin>, which will list all of the known poles.

Several methods have been developed by the Pierre Auger Collaboration to estimate the muon content of air showers from ultra-high energy cosmic rays. The data of the Pierre Auger Observatory will be compared with predictions based upon EPOS 1.99 and QGSJET-II-3 hadronic interaction models. In addition to the direct measures of the muonic content, the combination of a fluorescence detector and a muon sensitive surface array allows for a direct test of air shower simulations which is sensitive to both the shower core and large distances from the core. These methods reveal a deficit of muons in air shower simulations with proton primaries and that the energy assignment basedupon simulations of the surface array signal is systematically higher than that derived from the florescence detector. Summary: I will discuss the deficit in the number of muons currently predicted by simulations when compared to the data of the Pierre Auger Observatory. I will describe the methods used to measure the muon content, including sources of systematic uncertainty, and give their current results. Finally, I will present the Collaborations current understanding of the nature of the discrepancy, which could arise from an energy scale problem, composition, or deficiencies in the hadronic interaction models.

Wits University announces HIV breakthrough
The Wits Reproductive Health and HIV Institute (WRHI) has announced a breakthrough in HIV prevention. The trial conducted by researchers from the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN), known as HPTN 084, was headed by Dr Sinead Denaly- Moretlwe, a research professor at the University of the Witwatersrand. She says it is an achievement for women in Sub-Saharan Africa.


A VATS lobectomy is performed through 3-4 small incisions without spreading the ribs.
The broad experience and highly specialized training of Stanford's thoracic surgeons allows them to offer you two complex thoracic surgical procedures that are not widely available but that are critical to providing the lowest possible complication rates and highest cure rates following lung cancer surgery. These procedures are video-assisted thoracic surgical (VATS) lobectomy and sleeve lobectomy.
Lobectomy in most hospitals is performed exclusively by thoracotomy. This means that the ribs are spread apart to provide access to the chest, and this rib spreading and cutting of muscle is associated with a significant amount of discomfort after surgery.
VATS lobectomy allows surgeons to carry out exactly the same operation within the chest that is performed by thoracotomy, but it is done through 3-4 small incisions without rib spreading rather than the large incision with rib spreading that a thoracotomy entails. The surgeon gains his view inside the chest from a small video camera inserted through one of the small incisions, and the procedure is carried out with long instruments passed through the other small incisions.
Patients who have undergone VATS lobectomy have less pain and recover faster from surgery. In general, VATS lobectomy is an option only for patients with stage 1 lung cancer.


San Isidro, TX. - The type and amount of risk those ranchers face appears to be increasing. The droughts of the mid 1990's and high cattle inventory numbers since 1975 are all reminders that ranching is a risky business. Problems facing the industry next year include tight feeder cattle supplies, low prices for chicken and poultry, high costs of oil and gas, and continued shutdown of the export market. On the plus side, forage conditions hay supplies, and feed costs will be favorable.
Texas AgriLife Extension and Cooperative Extension Program (PVAMU) will be having a beef cattle risk management & marketing program on Thursday, June 24, 2010 at the San Isidro Parish. The program will begin at 8:00 a.m. Local Extension agents will be on hand to discuss beef cattle marketing in South Texas through a project that has involved all the South Texas sale barns. The results of this project will help producers market their cattle more effectively to increase their profits. Mr. Jay Hinojosa, FSA County Executive Director, and Mr. Abel Bermudez, NRCS District Conservationist, will also be there to discuss USDA risk management programs.
The sponsors are very excited about this program and hope that you can join them on the 24th. Please feel free to call County Extension office at (956) 487-2306 if you have any questions.

Reinhard Steurer (geboren 1971) ist assoziierter Professor für Klimapolitik an der Universität für Bodenkultur (BOKU) in Wien.

Leben und Werk
Reinhard Steurer studierte Politikwissenschaft an der Universität Salzburg und erlangte dort den Magistertitel (1997) und das Doktorat (2001). Zusätzlich erwarb er einen Master in Public Policy (2002) an der University of Maryland in den USA. 2013 habilitierte er sich an der BOKU Wien in Vergleichender Politikwissenschaft. Er ist am Institut für Wald-, Umwelt- und Ressourcenpolitik der BOKU tätig.

Bis 2022 publizierte er mehr als siebzig Artikel, Buchkapitel und Bücher, übernahm zahlreiche Präsentationen und Lehrveranstaltungen an vier Universitäten. Seine Arbeiten wurden u. a. von Policy Sciences und Climate Policy veröffentlicht, zwei renommierten Fachzeitschriften. Über @ReiSteurer, seinen Twitter-Account, informiert er populärwissenschaftlich breite Bevölkerungsschichten. Als Scientist for Future unterstützt er die Klimabewegung Fridays for Future und andere zivilgesellschaftliche Bewegungen, die zum Schutz der Umwelt beitragen.

Er beteiligt sich an nationalen und internationalen Debatten zum Klimaschutz, insbesondere mit den politischen Dimensionen der Klimakrise. Parallel zum Greenwashing, einer Methode der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit insbesondere multinationaler Konzerne, entwickelte er das Konzept der Scheinklimapolitik. Er kritisiert insbesondere die Österreichische Volkspartei, die seit 1986 Regierungsverantwortung in Österreich trägt und in all diesen Jahren den Klimaschutz als eines ihrer vorrangigen Ziele verkündet hat, aber die Initiativen dem Markt überlassen möchte und zugleich seit 1986 eine konstant steigende CO2-Emission aus Österreich verantwortet. Diese Position vertrat er auch im ORF-Morgenjournal vom 23. August 2022.

The same tariff is available at an outside luggage counter at an airline banking office, an ATM at the terminal or an ATM in the town. Inofficial currency switcher, once romanticized as the "black market", require a slightly higher spread, but many of them will switch a broader variety of currency, and they are often open after the closing of banking houses.
Native Americans use the informal exchange because they do not have to provide documents (only Australia's tinsmiths are better at evading taxes than the Myanmar people). What's the point of worrying about a slight change in exchange rates? When you change a million bucks, sure, look for those little bitty points.
For the few hundred you will be in Myanmar, just make changes and move on to more important things. It is the currency exchanger that makes the profits in the exchange transaction, not the client.


Bells and Two Tones pride themselves on being an authentic fire and rescue service that is run and owned by genuine time served firefighters, we have been supplying Health and Safety Advisers, Fire Cover, Fire Service Action Vehicles, Uniforms and Props for the TV and film industry Since 1989.
We are home to our in-house designed and built "Warm Rain" system, this enables us to heat massive amounts of water in a very short period of time.
Introducing the Bells & Two Tones Warm Rain System. Here at Bells and Two Tones we have been working for the last 2 years on various designs and ideas on what is the best way to provide warm water for all SFX needs. We are now pleased to announce that we can supply warm water which is portable, economic and above all, safe.
Our system has been designed from the ground up as well as having to be portable we always had safety in mind, we took the decision to get away from high pressure steam boilers and today we can offer a low pressure non-steam setup.
As our bowsers are all insulated we can bring 10,000ltrs or 20,000lts of warm water to your location, should you have a larger than normal requirement for warm water we can bring our whole setup to location and heat the water in situ, at present our 20,000 ltr bowser can be heated on site at the rate of 9 degrees per hour.
Should you require hot water (hot enough for a bath) we can produce a 1000 litres of hot water every 13 mins.

Add to Calendar 09/19/15 12:00 PM 09/19/15 01:00 PM United Kingdom (GMT) A 13th century theory of everything
History of Science lecture as part of the Open House Weekend
 The Royal Society, London, SW1Y 5AG
Listen to the Event
Discover how a collaborative research approach is bringing new life to medieval theories about the universe.
Grosseteste was an English polymath who studied the physics of light and used it to explain colour and the rainbow, and the origin of the universe. Inspired by Grosseteste's model, The Ordered Universe Project is bringing together historians, scientists linguists and philosophers to jointly study medieval texts in an aim to bridge the current perception gap between the study of science and humanities.
In their talk, Dr Giles Gasper and Professor Brian Tanner revealed why 800 years later, Grosseteste's theories are as relevant as ever.

Geyuan Temple () is a Buddhist temple located in Laiyuan, Hebei Province, China. The temple consists of three main buildings and other auxiliary structures. The main hall of the temple, the Wenshu Hall dates from 966 CE.

History
Very little is known about the temple's history. Most of what is known have been from studying the stele at the temple and a local historical account written in 1875 called the Laiyuanxian Zhi. Geyuan Temple was first founded in the Han dynasty, destroyed, and then rebuilt during the Tang dynasty. The octagonal pillar at the temple, the oldest of the current structures at the Wenshu Hall, dates to 966 of the Liao dynasty. The temple's construction was funded by a patron called Li Yuanchao, who helped found the Later Tang. Another stele from 1568 also confirms the founding date to be during the Liao dynasty. Repairs were made from 1324 to 1327, during the Ming dynasty, in 1507, and then during the Jiajing period (1522–1567).

Though many ancient temples were surveyed during the 1930s by historians and architects like Liang Sicheng, Geyuan Temple's age and architectural significance were not recognized until 1960, when a study dated the building to be from the Liao dynasty. The late discovery date is explained by Laiyuan's extreme isolation in the mountains of Western Hebei province.

Layout
Geyuan Temple contains three main buildings, the Wenshu Hall, a multistory pavilion used to store sutras and a Tianwang Hall. Unlike the normal Chinese temple layout, in which structures are built along a central axis from south to north, Geyuan temples' buildings face west.

Wenshu Hall

Wenshu Hall () was first built in 966 and is the oldest Liao building that is still extant, built 59 years after the dynasty's founding.  It is a square structure that is three bays wide and measures 15 by 15.67 meters. Each bay on the front façade contains four door panels, and the hall is built upon a large yuetai. The hall has no ceiling, but has beams that span six rafters and two additional interior pillars for support. Like other buildings dating from the 10th century, all the beams in the hall are completely straight. 5 and 7 rank bracketing is used to support the roof. The doors to the hall retain original 10th-century latticework.

There's a Huffington Post story that is suggesting that 248,000 soldiers have died waiting for Veterans Affairs health care.
The whistleblower, Scott Davis, provided the Huffington Post with a Veterans Affairs report that includes this statistic.
While there's little doubt that the VA could be better, this statistic alone doesn't really tell us much. For starters, the data goes all the way back to 1998. Over the course of 17 years, people, including veterans, will die. Does that mean that they died because they were stuck in the bureaucracy of the VA? I don't see that connection.
What this story appears to highlight, more than anything, is the VA's poor record keeping.
We absolutely need to do a much better job of taking care of veterans and any effort that results in that is a good thing. What pisses me off about these sorts of apparently partisan attacks is that it gives Republican politicians fodder to blast the Obama administration while their own record of not funding the Veterans Administration goes unchecked.
So take this story with a grain of salt, perhaps it has legs and is based on substance, but until that's proven, it's little more than click-bait.

Home/Entertainment/BTS Finds Light in Sunny 'Stay Gold' Video: Watch
BTS Finds Light in Sunny 'Stay Gold' Video: Watch
06/27/2020 Entertainment, Science
BTS released the hopeful music video for their latest Japanese single "Stay Gold" on Friday (June 26).
In the clip, K-pop idols find themselves trapped and separated in a series of crumbling and desolate stages as they collectively dream of sharing a sunlight-filled hang filled with golden confetti that fills the air.
"Stay gold, even in your dreams / Stay gold, I will find you / Stay gold, gold, I want to touch you / Stay gold, your whole being / Stay gold, captivate me / Stay gold, I want you as mine", sing the bandmates in the romantic chorus of the song. (English translation provided by YouTube). As the track climaxes, the septet manages to escape its various hiding places and join a field covered in purple flowers, trees, and a flowing stream.
"Stay Gold" serves as the lead single for BTS's upcoming Japanese fourth studio album, Soul Map: 7 ~ The Journey ~, which will launch on July 15 through Big Hit Entertainment. The LP will also include Japanese versions of the band's litany of recent hits such as "Boy With Luv", "Dionysus", "On" and "Fake Love", as well as two other original Japanese language offerings: "Your Eyes Tell" and "Lights". ("Stay Gold", meanwhile, also serves as a theme song for the Japanese television drama Spiral Maze – DNA Science.)
Check out the sunny "Stay Gold" video below.

Rapid and efficient in-situ remediation, yes it is possible even in low permeable soils. Ever been disappointed with remedial results? We were in the past and therefor mastered ourselves in applying ERH since 1999.
We initiated the first ERH project in Europe in 2002. Licensed by Current Environmental Solutions, a joint venture between Battelle's memorial institute and Terravac LLC. Currently Nocon is still involved with CES and among us we have strongly contributed for market acceptance of thermal remediation in Europe and have completed many successful ERH projects. At the time we marketed the technology as Six Phase Soil Heating, which we changed to Electric Resistance Heating to avoid confusion in the market place.
The efficiency of in-situ remediation can be strongly limited due to low permeable or heterogeneous lithology's, because many in-situ methods are based at mass transport of gasses and fluids. This mass transport is difficult in low permeable layers and selective in heterogeneous soils.
Soil heating strongly effects the kinetics of many organic contaminants like benzene, trichloroethene and perchloroethene. Due to changes of vapor pressure and Henry Law many contaminants can be removed more rapidly and far more effectively.
Heating of low permeable clayey or loamy layers can be achieved effectively with the electrical based technique Electric Resistance Heating. Nocon has state-of-the-art experience at several European sites with engineering and operating the required systems. Actually Nocon has been primarily involved in all the European projects at which ERH has been used.
Basically the remedial system consists of electrodes, which are located within the impacted zone, and DPE wells, which are used to extract the contaminated gasses and fluids. Electrodes are energized and with a power supply unit, hence voltage is regulated between electrode couples. As electrical current is induced, soil heats up, as it acts as a resistor. Subsurface temperature rises until the boiling point of water or to the boiling point of an azeoptropic mixture (DNAPL and water), which in many occasions is lower then that of sole water or sole DNAPL. In this respect the heat propagation in it self tells us whether or not DNAPL has been removed sufficiently. The contaminated gasses and fluids or extracted and transported to cooling and treatment units. ERH has particularly added value for source zones at which DNAPL is suspected, if time is a strong driver and if soils are considered difficult to treat as for their low permeability.
One of our projects as performed in Sheffield (UK) with TerraVac UK as the main contractor has been awarded winner in the prestigious section "most innovative remediation method" for the remediation innovation awards 2008 at the brownfield briefing conference in London.

Friendships expire, a case of Tonto Dikeh and Bobrisky.
La'bos Bamidele
Strangers become friends, friends become lovers, lovers return to friends and if care is not taken friends can return to being strangers.
If anyone had told us that the friendship of Nigerian crossdresser Bobrisky and her former best friend, actress Tonto Dikeh would hit the rocks without repair, we would have said "no way".
Well, it is no longer news that the former besties have now become enemies, so much that they have blocked each other on social media.
It is not clear what caused this big fight that shoved them apart, but like divorced couples, we are guessing it is due to some irreconcilable differences.
What is however surprising is the fact that the former besties have now resolved to shading each other and airing some dirty linens in public, a clear indication that friendship goals as shown on the internet is a fallacy.
Not only has Bobrisky accused his former best friend Tonto of living a fake life, he also alleged the actress owes him 5Million Naira which he loaned out to her.
In fairness to these two, the two years of their friendship came with some serious friendship goals as they did almost everything together, they had each other's back even in comments section.
A little over a year ago, Bobrisky had sworn to be remain loyal to Tonto Dikeh forever saying the actress loved her when everyone else stayed away from her.
Sadly, it is over, the loyalty, the love and the respect. All we have left of this period are some photos from the past.
Check out the good old times of Bobrisky and Tonto Dikeh, the celebrity besties!

Every student (except six) who attended Stirling in the past decade passed their final Matric exams, and the Eastern Cape Education Department regards Stirling as one of the top academic schools in the Eastern Cape.
Stirling has been associated with excellence in Mathematics for decades, from the repeated selection of the Preston brothers to represent South Africa in Maths Olympiads, to the substantial recent funding granted by Anglo-American trusts in recognition of our Maths teaching, to the acknowledgement of Jessica West as the top national Shuttleworth Foundation Hip2B2 Brand Ambassador for Maths, Science and Technology Education. The average size of a senior Maths class is 25.
As part of the agreement with the Education Department when Stirling transformed from a commercial to a mainstream school in 1985, we retained a focus on financial and business subjects. We offer Business Studies and Accounting and are one of the few schools to offer Economics. Stirling Matric results in all three business subjects are often the leading marks in the province and a significant number of Stirling students have gone on to become CA's and business leaders in town.

Olivier Bisback was born in Aalst, Belgium, in 1973. Inspired by action heroes such as Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan he took right from childhood a tremendous interest in taekwondo and fitness. In the early nineties he auditioned for a movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme. This audition resulted in an invitation from a film director to Hollywood where he was asked to cooperate in the promotion of a movie. In 2001 he followed a course 'cinema training' in Los Angeles (USA).
In Los Angeles he had the opportunity to meet and learn from the most important stunt and fight coordinators from Hollywood. And it was in Hollywood that he realised that film and television was his real passion, his goal of life.
When he returned from LA in 2001, Olivier Bisback was asked by the famous Flemish film director Jan Verheyen to assist in the movie 'Alias'. This movie meant Olivier's breakthrough. From that year on, Olivier almost drowned in offers for stunt and fight coordination.
In 2004 he was the first Belgian ever to graduate at the International Stuntschool in Seattle, USA. He also was the first Belgian member of the United Stuntmens Association.
For more than eight years now, Olivier Bisback is frequently hired as stunt and fight coordinator by film and television producers. Many times, he was also responsible for the whole stunt package: budget, development, choreography and actual performance, all this according to the wishes, needs and the script of the director.
Apparently Olivier Bisback's talent as stunt- and fight was also noticed abroad. Indeed, in 2006 he was asked to assist in the movie 'Flawless' with Demi Moore, in 2007 in the movie 'JCVD' with his youth idol Jean-Claude Van Damme, in 2008 in the movie 'Diamand 13' with Gerard Depardieu and 'The Eagle Path' with Jean-Claude Van Damme, in 2009 'La Meute' with Emilie Dequenne and Yolande Moreau, … Today Olivier gets more offers from television and movie makers than he can accept.
Olivier Bisback has become in his own country the reference regarding stunt and fight coordination. But in the mean time his reputation in his own country has crossed many borders. An international career is gradually growing.

Virginia Blakelock,...
A Revolution in Beadwork....
Virginia Blakelock is considered one of a handful of living artists who have created a revolution in beadwork. Her work has been shown in museums and galleries all over the world, including the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewett Museum of Design.
"... When it comes to name-dropping in beadweaving, few if any names carry more weight in this country than those of Virginia Blakelock and Carol Perrenoud. In fact, many of today's top bead-weavers were present at Virginia's very first loom beading class, given in 1986 at the Oregon School of Arts and Crafts.
"... But, what drives the two artists first and foremost is their beadwork. Virginia and Carol started out designing and making one-of-a-kind wearable and decorative items with seed beads and thread. In fact, it can be said - and has been many times since the mid-1970s - that Virginia single-handedly revolutionized the ages-old medium."
A Couple of BEADCATS by Kari Stone
Jewelery Crafts, July/August 1997
"Driving up the primitive, gravel driveway - actually no more than a track though the blackberry bushes - to Virginia Blakelock's home and studio, emphasizes the contrasts in this artist's life. Her small cabin south of Portland, Oregon is reached by a muddy path through the woods. Her home has the luxury of several computers, but no indoor plumbing. Here Virginia creates beadwork worthy of the most elegant surroundings.
"...Virginia's manipulation of color in her beadwork is one of the things that make them so exciting. She attributes the variety of her color combinations to living in Karachi, Pakistan, as a teenager. 'I'm aware of design traditions that most Americans don't know anything about.'
"Virginia received a B.F.A. from Wright State University in 1973. 'I was going to be a systems analyst, but I got hooked into the art department when I took a sculpture class. I also studied pastels and oils, painting and drawing twelve hours a day.'
"...Virginia approaches her beadwork from the perspective of a painter, calling on her skills in rendering and knowledge of color dynamics to create visual effects. 'I use individual beads the way Seurat used dots of color to create the appearance of subtle color changes.'"
Virginia Blakelock: Tapping the Possibilities of Beads: by Melisse Laing
The FLYING NEEDLE, Aug 1988
"Most people have an idea of Virginia working on her pieces in some sort of idealized studio where she is kept by a rich husband to follow her dilettantish pursuits. Nothing could be further from the truth. Virginia probably has less time for her art than any person I've known. She manages because she's just incredibly efficient with her time, and is absolutely driven to produce.
"...Everywhere we go, even today, she takes her beads. She beads in the theater waiting for the movie to start, she beads in airplanes, trains and in restaurants. If we go to visit someone, she takes her beads. If we rent a video, she beads while she watches. She even beads while we're driving across the country.
"...Now, if you get the impression from all this that Virginia is some kind of maniac, you'd be right. However, to meet her, you'd think she was just a pleasant easy going sort of person, with a pretty relaxed approach to the world. Both these views are correct.
"...Virginia has the remarkable ability to make little spots of peace and beauty around her no matter where she goes and no matter how busy she is. She seems to have the ability to lead others to those things around us that are really important in life: galaxies, light and color, insects around us. "
Notes for an exhbition, by Gary Betts

Comcast's Ken Klaer
Ken Klaer
Comcast has appointed Ken Klaer as svp, premises technology. He'll lead the team that develops CPE devices used to deliver Comcast's video, voice, data and cross-platform applications in subscribers' homes. Most recently, Klaer worked at Cisco Systems in the service provider video technology group, where he led development of CPE product strategies and go-to-market models. He also held senior management roles in general management, business development, product services management and production control at Scientific Atlanta. Ken tells us he became a proud grandpa to a beautiful baby girl in March. We also learned that he completed a full Ironman race in November. That's a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run.
Melissa Stone Mangham, Rich Browd
TVGN has hired Melissa Stone Mangham as vp, marketing and brand strategy and Rich Browd as vp, creative director. Mangham was previously vp, consumer marketing and partnerships at NBCU's Style Network, where she worked for 10 years. Prior to that she served as editorial director for E!, director of on-air and online promotion at Oxygen Media and manager of affiliate marketing and promotion for ABC. She began her TV career at Fox 53 and WB22 in Pittsburgh. Melissa tells us she's a huge "Star Wars" fan. She even has a light saber signed by cast members.
Browd comes to TVGN from MTV, where he was senior art director at the network. He began in consumer products and moved on to working on launch campaigns across multiple platforms. Rich says his reason for moving to NY was twofold: to pursue a career in communication arts and also to become a rapper. In fact, he found himself at MTV because he was trying to get a music video on the air at the time. He would up with a design job.
Kim Hart
The FCC has appointed Kim Hart as press secretary to chairman Tom Wheeler. She'll take on the role of commission spokeswoman in FCC's Office of Media Relations, led by Communications Director Shannon Gilson. Her last role was director of corporate communications at information services and analytics company Neustar. She also served as Politico's senior technology reporter, writing on policy issues affecting the tech and telecom industries. She launched and wrote the Hillicon Valley blog for The Hill and was a business reporter at The Washington Post.
Bob Gruters, Michael Roche
Revolt has hired six new employees within its ad sales division, including Michael Roche as svp of ad sales and Julie Pinkwater as vp of client development. Roche previously spent more than a decade with Fuse and MuchMusic, most recently as vp of advertising at Fuse, where he led the Eastern region's TV and digital sales teams. He also launched and worked as director of sales in Fuse's Chicago office. Mike says he has a large collection of synthesizers and music production equipment that his neighbors believe are being used to make contact with alien life forms. He plays many instruments, but his first public performance was in the third grade and was a piano rendition of Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings." Not surprisingly, he has yet to live that one down.
Pinkwater has worked in brand positioning and marketing for more than 30 years. She co-launched media consulting firm PinkwaterNewman Sales Solutions, served as svp in Univision Communications' client development group and was publisher of MORE, Fitness and Ladies' Home Journal magazines. Julie is quite the animal lover. She would enjoy—and be quite good at—doing a voiceover in an animal movie. Another little nugget about Julie: She is a brand new, stressed out stepmother.


If you have a problem with your sewer pump, chances are you know it. When a sewer pump breaks and stops pumping wastewater out of the septic tank, the water level in the tank quickly rises. When the water level gets too high, a high water alarm sounds.
The alarm is installed to warn a property owner of an impending septic system overflow, so when the warning system sounds, it sounds big and it sounds loud. And with good reason.
A septic system overflow can be disastrous to a home or business. When a septic tank overflows, wastewater and sewage can back up – spilling onto a drain field or backing up into basements, toilets, bathtubs or drains. An overflow is smelly and messy, can damage property and cause hazardous health conditions. This can be especially difficult for a business such as a restaurant, where the health department may intervene.
Lee's Sanitation Services specializes in sewer pump replacements. We come quickly to evaluate the sewer pump and replace it with a working pump as quickly as possible.
If you need a sewer pump replacement, minimize the amount of water you are sending to your septic tank and call Lee's Sanitation Service.

Naruto: Shippuden - Gaara Paperized
Anime . Figures . Naruto . Paperized . Toys
Gaara is a character in the Naruto manga and anime series. Originally debuting as an antagonist, Gaara is a shinobi affiliated with Sunagakure and is the son of Sunagakure's leader, the Fourth Kazekage. He was born as a demon's host as part of his father's intention to have a weapon to restore their village. However, a combination of being ostracized by the Sunagakure villagers, his early inability to control the Tailed Beast, and the notion that his deceased mother called him her curse on the village caused Gaara to become a ruthless killer who believes his own purpose is to kill his enemies. Only after meeting Naruto Uzumaki does Gaara earn a change of perspective, as he eventually becomes Sunagakure's Fifth Kazekage and gains acceptance by his people. Papercraft designed and created by Paperized Crafts.

To me, Godzilla has always been male. There was a period of time where I heard the whole "Gigantis is a female Godzilla" thing, which meant I thought post-Gojira Showa Godzilla was female, but ultimately it doesn't really matter. People can have whatever opinions and ideas they want. Certain iterations of Godzilla lend themselves to certain interpretations (for instance, head-canon that the two Showa Godzilla's were mates), but it ultimately doesn't matter.
It would be interesting to have a movie with two Godzilla's that are special friends, but honestly that scenario might only be used like Komodithrax in The Animated Series.

Yeah, I thought that for years. Nowadays, I can't even remember where it came from.
EDIT: Ah, the claim originates from the 1977 book 'Godzilla,' part of a series about famous movie monsters, by Ian Thorne (famously riddled with innacuracies, apparently)... which, when I saw the cover, instantly triggered a flashback to my childhood. My local library definitely had this book, and as one of the few Godzilla-related items outside of the movies that the library system had, I know I checked it out a number of times as a young reader. So no wonder I had this impression from an impressionable young age.

I'm guessing Thorne likely didn't have access to any copies of GRA in 1976/77 and just made an estimated guess based on the 55 suit's body structure.
Also it might be a logical step. Assuming the first is male, a second one appears the first though would be a female for me only because it would make sense to have a female in the canon for reproduction purposes. That, as Ultra points out, the difference in body structure in the '55 suit compared to the '54 suit. I wouldn't begrudge anyone thinking "Gigantis" is female.

I like to view Godzilla as more of a modern mythological embodiment of a omen, similar to GMK's version. A representation of nature's violent cry toward humanity's arrogance, uncontrollable ambitions, their notions of "playing God" with superweapons, and the suffering of innocence, but vengeful souls who either are forgotten or in vain. Both Godzilla and humanity share the same traits: being children of the mighty atom.
Ishiro Honda once said,
"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy. They do not attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend himself. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for the monsters. They end up caring about them."
"Just as you distrust us, so we distrust others as well. It's wrong. We're all human. As humans we are responsible to each other. We are related. Refuse us, and you will abandon your brothers. We must learn to help each other."

kpa wrote: This really is a "no brainer/no debate" topic. Officially, all the incarnations of Godzilla in the Toho movies and the two American versions are male.
For nearly 60 years, Toho has promoted Godzilla around the world as the "King of the Monsters." And their official Godzilla biography reads: "He began life as a Godzillasaurus millions years ago when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Exposed to radiation in the mid 1950's, Godzilla, as he came to be called, transformed into a towering monster capable of delivering a devastating atomic blast with his breath. Since then, Godzilla has menaced the cities of Japan and fought off many seemingly unbeatable adversaries, earning him the title, King of the Monsters."
Beyond that, Toho's has repeatedly referred to Godzilla in male terms (he, his, him, dad, king, etc) when promoting the character and his films...
1955: Toho's English publicity material for the original GODZILLA reads "Awakened by H-bomb tests from the 2 million of his dormant life"
1957: Toho releases the Americanized GODZILLA KING OF THE MONSTERS in Japan as KAIJU O GOJIRA (Monster King Godzilla).
1962: For KING KONG VS GODZILLA Toho issued a billingual press release with statements from both monsters. Kong is quoted as saying "I will fight to the last ditch in the forthcoming encounter with Mr Godzilla."
1967: In both the Japanese and English versions of SON OF GODZILLA the characters call Godzilla a "dad".
1967: In the original Japanese trailer for SON OF GODZILLA Minya calls Godzilla "Daddy".
1972: Toho dubbed Godzilla with a male voice in GODZILLA VS GIGAN.
1974: Toho's English tag line for GODZILLA VS MECHAGODZILLA reads: "Godzilla fights his robot double..."
1989: Toho's English tag line for GODZILLA VS BIOLLANTE reads: "The most terrifying monster of all time is back in his greatest movie ever."
1999: GODZILLA 2000 screenwriter Hiroshi Kashiwabara: "Because this is the first of a new series of Godzilla films, we decided to go back to the roots and study what made him so unique in the first place."
2002: Toho licensed Godzilla as a spokesman for the National Fatherhood Initiative.
2002-2003: GODZILLA AGAINST MECHAGODZILLA/TOKYO SOS director Masaaki Tezuka: "In this movie, Godzilla does not hate Mechagodzilla. This is because Mechagodzilla is created from the DNA in his father's bones. What pisses Godzilla off is that this was done in the first place. He is unhappy about Mechagodzilla being manipulated by human beings."
2004: The press release for Godzilla's 50th Anniversary festivities: "the world premiere of his latest film GODZILLA FINAL WARS at Grauman's Chinese Theatre."
2004: Toho Pictures President/Godzilla series producer Shogo Tomiyama's speech at the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony: "Godzilla should thank you for this historical and monumental star but, unfortunately, he cannot speak English as I can so I'm going to speak on his behalf. We are really excited that the Japanese-born Godzilla is honored in America. He should be feeling like a Japanese kid allowed to play Major League Baseball."
And on the US side, there's the following examples from publicity materials...
SON OF GODZILLA: Godzilla engages in exciting combat to protect his infant son
GODZILLA VS THE BIONIC MONSTER: See the mighty Godzilla in a fight to the death with his bionic double!
TERROR OF GODZILLA: The mighty titan of terror in his most incredible adventure!
Hanna Barbera's GODZILLA: Spine-tingling adventure and fun with an all-time monster favorite and his comical, cowardly cousin...
GODZILLA 1985: Like you've never seen him before!
GODZILLA VS BIOLLANTE: The most terrifying monster of all time is back in his greatest movie ever.
GODZILLA VS. KING GHIDORAH: Godzilla will soon awaken and wreak havoc upon Japan unless he is destroyed.
GODZILLA AND MOTHRA: THE BATTLE FOR EARTH: With two powerful foes to reckon with, has Godzilla finally met his match?
GODZILLA VS DESTOROYAH: With a super-charged blast from his nuclear past, a new Godzilla emerges from his own ashes, radioactive and ready to take on Tokyo!
GODZILLA (1998): Producer/co-writer Dean Devlin : "He will be more ferocious and spectacular and surprising than his predecessors. Lethal, fast and agile-a definite monster."
Sony's bible for GODZILLA: THE SERIES: Godzilla is the offspring of the first Godzilla who trashed New York City in the 1998 feature film. He differs from his father in several major respects — he cannot reproduce asexually but he can breathe powerful blasts of radioactive fire. Whereas the first Godzilla would run from danger and slip between buildings, this Godzilla faces it head on and battles his foes to the death, week after week.
GODZILLA 2000: With a brand-new look and a powered-up atomic ray, the king of the monsters is back. This time he faces a formidable new foe in Orga...
GODZILLA VS. MEGAGUIRUS: The Meganula queen, the 50-meter Megaguirus, is also on a hunt for Godzilla, needing to steal his energy to survive.
GODZILLA: FINAL WARS: He saves the Earth for the last time... Several years after he is buried... Godzilla celebrates his 50th birthday
GODZILLA (2014): Director Gareth Edwards: "At the start of the process, I felt that in some way we could decide and control who Godzilla was, but, as we went along, we started to realize that Godzilla was going to tell us who he was, just like actors who have their own take on their characters. We couldn't totally dictate what it was going to be; it was more about just trying different ideas and permutations. And, slowly, he revealed himself to us."
Toho (and their international distributors and production partners) have been so consistent on this subject for decades that I am always amazed when Godzilla fans think otherwise.

Every Godzilla on screen so far has been male. Even, strangely, the 1998 creature. But there's always room for a female one. He didn't just pop up out of nowhere. At some point two Godzillas (or their precursors like dinosaurs in Heisei's case or fish in Shin's) got together and made the ones we've seen so far. Eventually, I would like to see a female Godzilla. Or a mating pair. That's territory that hasn't been covered yet.
SpaceG92 wrote: Can of worms, but in regards to the latter, its basically because Tumblr and overly progressive people make a huge deal of it. Tis the era I guess.
Well it isn't a huge deal to me.
I don't care about a fictional monster's gender...
as long as the fiction created around that monster
is entertaining.
Granted I've always thought of Godzila as male...but
Godzilla being male doesn't really matter for the character.
It does more for King Kong & his part stories are influenced
by that.
Oh...and for the record the Ghostbusters 2016 film was
awful...not because of the ladies in it...but because the
script was TERRIBLE.

Pretty much every Godzilla up to this point is male, I think the idea of Showa G being female/ a mate to the 54 G makes little sense, Showa G has plenty of evidence of people in & out of universe calling him a male and there isn't any substantial evidence that says otherwise. We don't know if G54 and Showa G ever actually crossed paths, even if they did, Showa would've probably driven off G54 as a rival male.
As for Minya, some animals adopt others of their species, and since the Showa species of Godzilla is more humanlike in intelligence, Showa Goji probably isn't like a male lion that kills young that aren't his own.
I personally do think Godzilla's gender matters, and unless Toho states otherwise, Godzilla is male.
A female Godzilla has the potential to be interesting, and I'd be ok with it as long as it's not one of the older incarnations being retconned to be a female for no reason.
*Also the whole "Godzilla's species is asexual" thing seems like a trait of Zilla/Shin/Godzilla Earth that some people misinterpreted as applying to all other Godzilla versions, I've been seeing this misunderstanding a lot recently.*

Like I said previously movie monsters are only female when the plot calls for it. Otherwise he or it is the default. I got nothing against female monsters (some of the best monsters ever made are female) but if it's not integral to the plot of the film a female Godzilla will likely never happen. A female of Godzilla's species is much more likely than Godzilla himself being portrayed as female.
