To enter the Amazon Natural Park, we have to board an artisanal Amazon-style catamaran and paddle for about 15 minutes on an idyllic lake where the vegetation beautifully reflects on the calm black water. This is a wonderful way to fully immerse in the exuberant forest that we were ready to explore. After the catamaran ride, we walk for about 30 minutes to reach the hanging bridges, where we enjoyed incredible views.
The Marañon river is one of the most important tributaries to the great Amazon river. Today we visited an area known as Amazonas Natural Park, a private reserve with a system of seven interconnected suspended bridges over the canopy. This was our longest walk of the week, which gave us the chance to experience the canopy but also to find saddle back tamarins, plus some interesting insects and several species of birds. We had a delicious lunch with local ingredients, and later on our guests had the opportunity to attend a presentation onboard about photography composition and storytelling. In the afternoon, we navigated to Piraña Caño. This is an incredible area with narrow streams run through the flooded forest, where we spotted various species of monkeys and birds. The best part of the day still awaited us: on our way back, thousands of parakeets and caciques arrived to a small island, and we were able to stop to enjoy this unforgettable natural display.
The day was still not over! After our return to the ship, our wonderful bartenders gave us a demonstrative class on how to prepare Pisco Sour, a traditional Peruvian drink. Cheers to more exciting days to come on our Amazon adventure!

CDC Expands E. Coli Outbreak Alert
Written by The Bee
YUMA, Ariz. (CNN)–The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has expanded its warning about an E. coli outbreak connected to romaine lettuce to cover all forms of romaine, including whole heads and hearts of romaine grown in the Yuma, Arizona, growing area.
A previous warning was limited to chopped forms of romaine, including salads and salad mixes.
The CDC based the new warning on eight new cases of acute gastroenteritis at a correctional facility in Nome, Alaska, that appear to be connected to the current outbreak affecting 84 people in 19 states.
Some 42 people have been hospitalized, the CDC said, and although no one has died, nine people have developed a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome.
"Because this outbreak involves a strain of E. coli bacteria (O157:H7) that can lead to serious illness including kidney failure, state officials are asking Alaskans to follow CDC recommendations and avoid any romaine lettuce products that could be contaminated," said a news release from the state of Alaska.
While the current cases are connected to the Yuma, Arizona, area, the CDC warns that package labels do not often identify growing regions.
Therefore, consumers should throw out any romaine lettuce in their homes, even if partially eaten, and avoid eating romaine at restaurants unless the establishment can confirm that the lettuce is not from Yuma. No common grower, supplier, distributor or brand from the Yuma area has been identified.
Symptoms of this strain of E. coli include severe stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea, which is often bloody, officials said. Anyone with these symptoms should see a health provider immediately and report their infection to local departments of health and social services. Infections from these bacteria often take three to four days to develop. Most are gone within a week, but some can last longer and be more severe, the CDC said.
E. coli are a diverse family of bacteria that can be found in the environment, in foods and in the intestines of people and animals.
Most strains are harmless. To avoid becoming infected with a harmful strain, the CDC recommends using proper hygiene; cooking meat at proper temperatures; avoiding raw milk, unpasteurized dairy products and juices; and not swallowing water when swimming.
Since lettuce is suspected to be the cause of the current outbreak, would it help to wash your greens before eating? No, said Ian Williams, chief of the CDC's Outbreak Response and Prevention Branch.
"This bacteria can actually get inside the lettuce leaf," he said. "Washing it doesn't make it safe."

By Muhammad Aziz of Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto & Aziz posted in Oil and Gas Accidents on Wednesday, February 25, 2015.
Last Thursday, a federal judge in New Orleans denied BP's request to limit its environmental penalties for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Setting this fine is the final step in a civil case regarding the April 20, 2010 blowout of BP's Macondo subsea well, which caused the spill. Following the blowout, a sea-floor oil gusher flowed for eighty-seven days. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill is considered the largest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry.
Judge Carl Barbier had previously ruled that BP had acted with gross negligence. BP argued that the Clean Water act capped the fine for such cases at $3,000 per barrel of oil spilled. Furthermore, BP maintained that the fine should reflect the company's extensive cleanup efforts in the Gulf. However, the United States Justice Department lawyers contested that Congress validly instructed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to raise the statutory maximum fines to account for inflation. Judge Barbier agreed, finding that the EPA had the authority to adjust fines to comply with the Inflation Adjustment Act. The EPA set maximum environmental fines for $4,300 for each barrel of crude oil spilled. The Coast Guard set penalties at $4,000.
The court has not yet determined when it will set the fine, but if the EPA's figures are used the fine could run as high as $13.7 billion based on the earlier finding that 3.19 million barrels spilled into the Gulf. BP has already incurred costs in excess of $42 billion for the spill, including cleanup, compensation to victims, and fines.
In addition to causing the oil spill, the blowout triggered an explosion that killed eleven workers on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig.
Certain types of work present unique risks for employees, but when someone is injured or dies due to an employer's negligence, financial recovery may be available. If you or someone you know has been injured on an oil rig, contact an attorney at Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto & Friend by calling 713-222-7211 or toll free at 1-800-870-9584.

"It's everything," Bo Wallace said recently. "There's just so much more energy when you play at home."
Beating State at Starkville might be more difficult than besting LSU at the Vaught. Neither will be easy, and neither will victories over Auburn and Arkansas.
Getting Laremy Tunsil back solidifies the Ole Miss offensive line. Getting Robert Nkemdiche and Tony Conner back, at some point, will make the Rebels all the better on defense.
Mississippi State (6-2): The Bulldogs and Rebels have identical overall records, but both State losses were league games. That makes State's road to Atlanta and the championship game a steep incline. It's possible; it's not likely.
However, State, back in the AP Top 25 after trouncing Kentucky 42-16, can still reach many goals, including an invite to a New Year's Day bowl game and ruining its arch-rival's season.
My question: Why is Dak Prescott not receiving more national notice for the season he's having?
He has thrown 14 touchdowns, only one interception. He has completed two-thirds of his passes for nine yards per pass. He has run for seven more touchdowns and five yards per carry. In short, he has saved his best for his last season in Starkville.
State has this weekend off, but the the rest of the Bulldogs' schedule is daunting. State plays at Missouri on a Thursday night, before coming home to face Alabama. Then, it's at Arkansas before Ole Miss goes to Starkville. Arkansas, at Fayetteville in November, is never easy. In the SEC West, in November, it's not supposed to be easy.
Southern Miss (5-3): After three seasons in college football's version of hell, the Golden Eagles are back. USM has won more games in eight weeks than they won in their three previous seasons. If they can avoid an absolute collapse, they will play in a bowl game for the first time since 2011 when they finished 12-2 and won Conference USA.
In fact, USM is still very much in this year's CUSA race, tied with Louisiana Tech at the top of the West Division. The Eagles should be favored in their next three games (UTEP at home, Rice on the road and Old Dominion at home) before they finish the regular season at Tech in a game that should decide who plays in the CUSA Championship Game.
Quarterback Nick Mullens won't blow you away with his arm strength, but he is accurate and resourceful. Interesting stat: Mullens has thrown for 21 touchdowns, precisely the number Brett Favre threw in his junior and senior seasons combined. And Mullen has four, probably five, games yet to play.
No, Mullens is no Favre, but he is an excellent quarterback and he is surrounded by weapons such as wide receiver Michael Thomas and Jalen Richard. The defense hasn't quite reached the USM Nasty Bunch status of old, but is a lot more nasty than the past three seasons. Football is fun at USM again.
Rick Cleveland (rcleveland@msfame.com), is executive director of the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum.

"A Very Difficult Problem"
That's how Adm. Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, described the process of determining the correct type of new bomber aircraft that the Air Force should pursue. "We want to get it right," Mullen told the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday. He said the chosen system would have "a huge impact, quite frankly, on the future of the Air Force because of the capability requirement." Mullen appeared before the panel with Defense Secretary Robert Gates and DOD Comptroller Robert Hale to discuss the Pentagon's 2011 spending proposal. He said previous Pentagon analyses such as that reflected in the 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review that envisioned the new bomber being available around 2018 "were incredibly aggressive." Better, he indicated, is the deliberative process upon which the DOD is now embarked "that really focuses on getting [the bomber] right."

Non-payment of allowances delay dispensation of justice
Wassa-Akropong (W/R), Dec. 12, GNA - Panel members of the Juvenile Court of the Department of Social Welfare at Wassa-Akropong in the Amenfi East have not been paid their sitting allowances for more than one year, Mr. James Boadi, District officer of the Department has said. He told the Ghana News Agency at Wassa-Akropong at the weekend that as a result, panel members were no more interested in attending sittings and that the situation was impeding prompt and speedy resolution of criminal charges and complaints involving minors.
Members of Juvenile Courts are paid 18,000 cedis per sitting. Mr Boadi said the situation had also created a backlog of cases that should have been heard. He mentioned stealing and assault topping the list of crimes committed by minors between the ages of 10 and 17 years, describing the situation as very alarming.
"Not less than 10 children are arrested every month by the police for stealing, assault and other vices", he said. In a related development, Nii Amartey Laryea, Amenfi West district officer of the Department, attributed the rising cause of child delinquency in the area to the lack of parental responsibility. He said many children rather preferred joining "galamsey" operations at the expense of their education, thereby exposing them to money at very early stage.

A Review of Contemporary Techniques for Measuring Ergonomic Wear Comfort of Protective and Sport Clothing
A Review of Contemporary Techniques for Measuring Ergonomic Wear Comfort of Protective and Sport...

The comfort and impact performance of protective and sport clothing are typically subjectively measured, and this is a multifactorial and dynamic process. The aim of this review paper is to review the contemporary methodologies and approaches for measuring ergonomic wear comfort, including objective and subjective techniques. Special emphasis is given to the discussion of different methods, such as objective techniques, subjective techniques, and a combination of techniques, as well as a new biomechanical approach called modeling of skin. Literature indicates that there are four main techniques to measure wear comfort: subjective evaluation, objective measurements, a combination of subjective and objective techniques, and computer modeling of human–textile interaction. In objective measurement methods, the repeatability of results is excellent, and quantified results are obtained, but in some cases, such quantified results are quite different from the real perception of human comfort. Studies indicate that subjective analysis of comfort is less reliable than objective analysis because human subjects vary among themselves. Therefore, it can be concluded that a combination of objective and subjective measuring techniques could be the valid approach to model the comfort of textile materials. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Autex Research Journal de Gruyter http://www.deepdyve.com/lp/de-gruyter/a-review-of-contemporary-techniques-for-measuring-ergonomic-wear-bCNkHaFT0i

When to Use "In" vs. "Into"
Learn when to use "in" vs. "into" from Gotham Writers' Workshop instructor Stephanie Paterik in this Howcast grammar video.
You might not believe it, but there is a difference between the word in and into and when you use it. The easiest way that I remember it is that in is a static word. It indicates a position, but it's not moving.
Whereas the word into is a word that indicates movement or something in motion. So, one way to think about is my blouse is tucked in. Nothing's moving, it's already tucked in, so we use the word I-N. But, however if I'm getting dressed and I'm actually doing the action of tucking my blouse into my skirt, we use the word into to indicate that motion is happening in the middle of the sentence.
Another way to visualize this is to look at the pencils on the desk. I'd say that these pencils are in the cup. But, now I'm going to put these markers into the cup. You could see because I was performing an action, I used the word into. So, I hope that that makes it a little clearer, the difference between in and into.

Spokane County Sheriff Says Leaders Afraid of Agitators (Rioters)
Spokane County Sheriff says some leaders "afraid" to stand up to agitators (Spokane county .org)
The Sheriff of Spokane County had some sharp words about certain political leaders in our state.
He made an appearance on the Jason Rantz show on AM 770 KTTH Radio in Seattle a week ago, and used this phrase to describe elected and other leaders when it comes to agitators, protesters and anarchists:
"I don't know if they're so much sympathetic to it, but I think they're afraid. I think they're afraid to stand up and and say, 'That's it, we're drawing the line. You're not going to do this in our community."
He was referring to Spokane, in saying it won't happen in our community. He told Rantz that he is a firm believer in the laws passed by the citizens of this county (Spokane) and state, and law and order and the Constitution. He told Rantz he's made it clear that the actions we've seen in Seattle will not be tolerated in his jurisdiction.
He did say that many of these agitators (such as Antifa and other rioters) often get back out on the street because of bail bond projects (some of which have been reported even nationally). However, he said these activities shouldn't even be allowed to occur at all.
He said CHOP-CHAZ was a low point for the State in it's history, the fact that 9 blocks of the city were taken over by "petty tyrants."
The ongoing actions of the Seattle City Council, and even other elected officials in our state only seem to reinforce his beliefs.

Policies and Campaigns
Earlier this year, Impact carried out some research amongst smokers in the UK to understand the barriers to vaping and what could be done to overcome them. Nationwide campaigns show great potential, but how can brands capitalise on this momentum?
HARNESSING THE E-CIGARETTE AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS
As the vaping category continues to develop in the UK, the challenge for e-cigarette companies is not just how to attract smokers, but also how to maintain a strong relationship with existing users, to help prevent them lapsing back to a 'cigarette-only' lifestyle.
PREVENTING YOUR CUSTOMERS LAPSING BACK TO CIGARETTES
Coming after a period of significant growth between 2012 and 2016, the number of vapers in the UK has started to show signs of a slowdown. So what more should vaping brands be doing to convince the 'cigarette-only' smokers to start a journey into vaping?
EDUCATION - HOW TO CREATE NON-USER E-CIG ADOPTION
Known for its slick and discrete design and easy to use device, JUUL has grown rapidly in the US. But will they be able to replicate this success with their UK launch? Impact investigates through its social listening platform and online survey.
JUUL - A THREAT TO THE UK MARKET?
The debate about providing e-cigarettes by doctor's prescription rumbles on, so Impact decided to ask 516 smokers in the UK if having e-cigarettes available through the National Health Service (NHS) would influence them to switch.

Heritage-Customs and Traditions
Historical Summary
Related Resource: Mess Night Manual
Since the beginning of organized society, there has been a military establishment. Today, our sophisticated multi-service military observes many customs, traditions, and procedures traceable to the earliest of warriors. The dining-in as a military tradition has its roots in the shadow of antiquity. The pre-Christ Roman Legions probably began the dining-in tradition. Roman military commanders frequently held great banquets to honor individuals and units. These gatherings were victory celebrations during which past feats were remembered and the booty of recent conquests was paraded. The second century Viking War Lords stylized the format of the victory feast. "These celebrations saw all clan members present with the exception of the lookout, or watch. Feats of strength and skill were performed to entertain the members and guests. The leader took his place at the head of the board, with all others to his right and left in descending order of rank."
From the northlands, the custom was transplanted to the British Islands. In the sixth century, King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table surely practiced a form of dining-in. One author suggests that in sixth century England the tradition spread to the nonmilitary society. "Its roots are embedded in the old monasteries where monks, who followed a most rigid regimen, had their form of dining-in as an integral form of monastic life." As educators, the clergy spread the custom to the academies and universities. The British officer corps comprised of those graduated from the centers of learning then carried the tradition to military units. The dining-in became increasingly formalized after the first officers' mess was established.
A British Tradition
Until 1776, America was a British colony. Accordingly, early American customs and traditions were British in origin; the military was no exception. British Army and Navy units deployed to the wilderness of America, brought with them the social customs and traditions of their services including the formal military dinner referred to as guest night. The purpose of which was to gather "for an evening of good food, drinking, fellowship, and honoring the feats of individuals and organizations." In establishing an independent nation, including social borrowed much of the military structure of their adversary America's founders customs. The popularity and growth of the tradition in the United States parallels its popularity and growth in Great Britain and the Commonwealth nations.
Growth of the Dining-in Tradition
British Naval, land and air units are still active enthusiasts of the dining-in. In fact, many units reportedly hold at least one such function monthly. Some British messes still call the occasion guest night while others refer to it as dining-in night or band night. Regardless of what the present day custom may be called, the ceremony and protocol which have evolved have remained remarkably similar throughout the British armed forces. Today, the British dining-in rules and customs are also closely observed by the armed forces of the Commonwealth countries, particularly Canada and Australia.
As previously mentioned, the United States dining-in tradition was borrowed from the English by George Washington's continentals. Despite the colonists aversion to anything suggesting Redcoat, continental naval and army officers must have fully realized the value of these occasions in the promotion of pride of service, high morale, and loyalty. Over the past 200 years, the dining-in tradition was relatively slow in becoming widely accepted by United States military officers. Nevertheless, it is a popular tradition today, though it goes by several names. Both the United States Navy and Air Force call this social affair the dining-in. The Marine Corps and the Coast Guard refer to it as mess night and the Army calls it regimental dinner.
Roots of the United States Navy Tradition
Formal dinners in wardrooms afloat and messes are among the finest traditions of military institutions. The history of the Navy and Marine Corps is replete with examples of such occasions. The tradition of formal dinners in the Navy and Marine Corps differs slightly. The Corps' most notable early mess nights were held in Washington, D.C., while the Navy functions were in wardrooms of ships anchored in foreign ports. The Navy Department Historian, Gordon Bowen-Hassell, suggests that due to the arduous nature and length of the cruises during the 1800's, the crews virtually disbanded upon final arrival in the United States. This, coupled with the fact that the officer corps didn't socialize as we do today, helped confine the formal dinners to the wardrooms of deployed vessels.
The practice of formal dining-ins in ships was usually reserved for entertaining foreign officers and officials during port calls. In 1820, while conducting joint operations with some British ships, the officers of the USS Cyane had many exchanges of on-board dinners with their British counterparts. Clearly, the British introduced the formal ritualistic tradition of guest night to American Naval officers during such occasions. In 1853, Commodore Perry entertained dignitaries from the Lew Chew Islands aboard his flagship, Susquehanna. The evening may not have been the formal dining-in style we know today but full military courtesies were rendered to the guests including Marine escorts and a three gun salute. These famous dinner parties were enhanced by tie musical talents of the Marine Corps band. Admiral "Fighting" Bob Evans, in his autobiography, tells a story of a series of formal dinners in 1867, with the British in Hong Kong. Again, we can speculate that the ritualistic guest night procedure was followed by the British and the United States Naval officers reciprocated with an equally structured formal dinner.
In all instances of on-board entertaining, toasting with wine was very much a part of the formal dinner. Dr. John T. Bonner [Jr.] in an article ["Sober Reflections on a Mess Night,"] for [US Naval Institute] Proceedings [vol. 99, no.11 (Nov. 1973): 51-55], states that "toasting, which forms an integral part of mess nights, traces its antecedents back for probably half a millennium." The loyal toast or the royal toast was the British custom of drinking to the reigning monarch. Since its inception in the days of Elizabeth I, the loyal toast has always been drunk in British messes ashore and afloat. Americans transposed King to President and, until 1914, when Navy Secretary Josephus Daniels banned alcohol in United States Navy vessels, U.S. Naval officers practiced loyal toasting both ashore and afloat. The days of the wine mess in the wardroom abruptly ended and with it the formal on-board dinners in the guest night tradition. The center of Naval social life shifted from the wardroom to the officers' club.
Since 1914, the dining-in tradition has been kept alive in officers messes ashore. The Marine Corps has served as the keeper of custom during the post-Daniels years. While not deployed in ships, the United States Marine Corps officers kept the mess night tradition alive. One author suggests that had the Marine Corps not had "foreign service on land, the mess night, or formal dinner might have disappeared for the Marines as well."
Despite attempts to keep it alive at sea, without wine the tradition became dormant in the Navy. We, in the Naval service, can thank the Marines for preserving the time-honored custom of dining-in. As the Naval officers afloat were privileged to share guest night functions with the British, the deployed Marine forces of this century were entertained by the Royal Marines. These exchanges of custom and tradition most certainly enhanced the traditional Marine Corps mess night. In 1927, in Shanghai, Marines dined with the 2nd Battalion Scots Guards, in 1930 with the Royal Ulster Rifles, in 1946 with the Royal Marines in Portsmouth. As anyone who has had the pleasure to serve with the British knows, they are most anxious to entertain and are unquestion ably most hospitable hosts. Today, the Marine Corps has a very structured British style mess night. Fortunately, the Navy shares most of that Marine Corps tradition.
Despite the obstacles of the twentieth century, the tradition of dining-in has not died out. Veterans of old days remember and revive the tradition at every opportunity. They recognize the important role these occasions play in preserving the traditions of Naval service.
The Evolution of Navy Dining-in Policies
One should not get the impression that Mr. Daniels destroyed the social life of the Naval Officer Corps. In 1914 when he banned alcohol in ships, the world was at war; social life onboard fighting ships was not part of a wartime routine. After the Armistice of 1918, the United States went into a post-war disarmament program followed by the great depression, and social activities took a back seat to the task of survival in difficult times. The depression was preempted by World War II and social activity for sea-going men was limited to well-earned liberty. Korea followed before the Navy got fully involved in post-war reorganization. Fifty years of conflict and economic chaos coupled with the famous Secretary of the Navy prohibition stunted the growth of the dining-in as a Naval tradition.
Through semiofficial literature, the evolution of the mess night can be traced even during its dormant years. In 1939, Vice Admiral Lovette (then a Lieutenant Commander) published his third edition of Naval Customs, Traditions and Usage, which included as an appendix, Admiralty Fleet Order 202/27, a synopsis of the British rules of toasting at official dinners when foreign officers are present. The inclusion of this document in a United States Navy guide is without explanation, implying that the Admiralty rules in this area were also American Naval custom. Interestingly, this appendix was not included in the first (1934) or second (1935) editions of Admiral Lovette's work. Seemingly, the Navy, as well as the country itself, was just beginning to feel socially well--a feeling interrupted by the events of December 7, 1941.
Literary mention of the dining-in does not reappear until 1954. That year, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Shepherd, having been one of the Marine officers hosted by the Royal Marines at Portsmouth, urged Colonel Heinl to include a section on mess night in his book, The Marine Officers Guide. According to Major Bartlett's "Reflections on a New Tradition, The Marine Corps Mess Night," "the first mess night in the form we recognize today was held at Marine barracks, 'Eighth and Eye' in late summer of 1954." During the following year, a series of Marine Corps mess nights were held in Washington and Quantico. In 1956, Colonel Heinl's Marine Officers Guide was published. Section 2403 of that Naval Institute publication devotes five full pages to mess night procedures. Taking a cue from the Marines, Admiral Lovette revised his fourth edition (1959) of Naval Customs and Traditions by including a new appendix D. Again, the Admiral relied on the British tradition, noting that Navies of the Commonwealth "maintain consistently the highest formal officer mess standards of the maritime countries." His appendix entitled "Dining in the Royal Canadian Naval Mess," cites specific rules of the mess while discussing the proper grace to be said and protocol for toasting. If we combine the Marine Corps evolved tradition as described by Colonel Heinl with the Anglicized formal procedures presented by Admiral Lovette, we have what emerged in the bicentennial years as the dining-in.
In November of 1964, the Chief of Naval Operations Naval History Division prepared an article on the mess night for the BUPERS Mess Newsletter. The article was aimed at Commissioned Officers Mess Managers and provided a synopsis of the Navy dining-in. This was the first official mention of the event. A renaissance of the dining-in can be linked to the 200th birthday of both the country and the Navy. During the bicentennial, officials were reviving virtually every traditional event to celebrate the occasion. The Chief of Naval Information (CHINFO) prepared a pamphlet entitled "How to Conduct a Dining-In." The guide was published as an article in the March 1975 issue of U.S. Navy Medicine. This is a most important document because it describes the basic format of the Navy dining-in.
OPNAVINST 1710.7, Department of the Navy Social Usage and Protocol Handbook has an entire chapter, Chapter 8 devoted to the Dining-In ceremony that discusses officers of the mess, guests, and procedures, such as cocktail hour, call to dinner, grace, seating arrangement and table setting.

Cibele Madrid Fountain Italian Tapestry
Cibele Madrid Fountain is an Italian jacquard wall tapestry. This artwork portrays the statuary of The Fountain of Cybele found in the part of Madrid commonly called the Paseo de Recoletos. This fountain is named after Cybele, a Phrygian goddess who had a significant cult in Rome, and is seen as one of Madrid's most important symbols. The fountain depicts the goddess, sitting on a chariot pulled by two lions. The fountain was built in the reign of Charles III and designed by Ventura Rodríguez between 1777 and 1782. The goddess and chariot are the work of Francisco Gutiérrez and the lions by Roberto Michel. The fountain originally stood next to the Buenavista Palace, and was moved to its present location in the middle of the square in the late 19th century.

British Psychological Society signs statement opposing welfare sanctions
BPS News
The report published yesterday by the National Audit Office confirming that there is no clear evidence welfare sanctions work confirms key concerns of the main psychological therapy organisations.
A statement signed by representatives of the five organisations says:
The sanctions process may be detrimental to people's mental health and wellbeing. Whilst the utility of the sanctions process rests on the assumption that job centre clients are insufficiently motivated to seek work; an estimated 86-90% of people with mental health conditions that are not in employment want to work. The links between the sanctions regime and the mental health and wellbeing of individuals should be subject to an independent review.
International evidence indicates that benefit sanctions substantially raise exits from benefits, and may increase short-term job entry; but there are unfavourable longer-term outcomes for earnings, job quality and employment retention.
Not only are we concerned that the sanctions process is undermining mental health and wellbeing – there is no clear evidence of pay-off in terms of increased employment and no commitment from the Government to investigate how the jobcentre systems and requirements may themselves be exacerbating mental health problems. We continue to call on the Government to address these concerns and suspend the use of sanctions subject to the outcomes of an independent review.
The five organisations backing the statement are the UK Council for Psychotherapy, the British Psychoanalytic Council, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the British Association for Behavioural and Cogntive Psychotherapies and the British Psychological Society.

Phill Niblock's Music For Cello collects three pieces from the '70s and early '80s, performed by cellist David Gibson. This CD includes a 16-page unpublished interview with Niblock. Since the late sixties Phill Niblock has been composing long-form acoustic drones with a focus on the rhythms and overtones that rise from closely tuned instruments. His highly original and influential music is an exploration of timbre, microtonality, stability, duration and psychoacoustic phenomenon.
"3 To 7 - 196' is very direct, aggressive, and gritty. The overtone patterns that are produced by the proximal pitches become more prominent with louder volume. So please, play this piece very loud. This was the first piece of mine in which the musician was precisely tuned, in which I chose exact pitches in hertz. We used a sine wave oscillator and frequency counter for the tuning. 'Descent Plus' has four cello tones descending one octave over twenty-two minutes, from 300 hertz to 150 hertz. David Gibson played these tones without lifting his bow from the strings, constantly retuning. I made four different scores, manually changing an oscillator to which he was tuning, for each track's recording. For the revision, we added six more tracks, with David playing long tones which were not descending. The second part of the recording was made nearly twenty years later. 'Summing II' (one of four parts) is mellow and sonorous. David plays two strings simultaneously, one of which is retuned for each successive recording of that pair of tones. This is a mix of an eight-track tape. It's better played loud also." --Phill Niblock, from the liner notes.
1993 release. Music by Phill Niblock features The Soldier String Quartet performing in Five More String Quartets, a piece for five multi-tracked string quartets and in Early Winter for flute, bass flute, string quartet, and synthesizer, also featuring Susan Stenger (flute) and Eberhard Blum (bass flute). In Five More String Quartets the musicians are tuned to specific pitches by calibrated sine tones as they play and the sound they produce is recorded, unprocessed, to multitrack tape. The piece is built up by means of multitrack recording. Early Winter has a different structure: a mixing of recorded instruments, computer controlled electronic instruments, and live instruments in the studio.
"An overview of Phill Niblock's work since the '60s, through about twenty essays and interviews by musicologists, art critics and historians, various documents, scores, and more than eight hours of videos on two double layer DVDs. With a career spanning more than 40 years, Phill Niblock has not only proven himself as one of the most preeminent composers of the American musical avant-garde, but also an accomplished filmmaker and performer. He is also revered as an events producer through his Experimental Intermedia Foundation, providing a venue and a label that has been of great assistance to numerous other artists and musicians in helping to make their work known. This bilingual book (French/English) provides an in-depth look at all these activities, through various essays and interviews, either newly written, previously unpublished, or that have never been available in French before. These were written by very different people -- from musicians who have played Niblock's music, to fellow composers, from long-time friends to specialized musicologists and art historians. They discuss such various matters as musical and cinematographic aesthetics, psychoacoustic processes, historical background, philosophical insights and technical advice for playing the music, or just give their personal recollections of time spent together with Niblock. The book is accompanied by two double-sided DVDs of atypical videos: Remo Osaka, a continuation of The Movement of People Working series, with a quite peculiar soundtrack; two separate DVDs of the Anecdotes from Childhood, best viewed together as an installation; and Katherine Liberovskaya's 70 for 70 (+1), Seventy (one) Sides of Phill Niblock, realized in 2003/2004 on the occasion of his 70th birthday, which portrays the composer through memories recounted by friends and relatives. With writings by Phill Niblock, Rich Housh, Erika King, Guy de Bièvre, Volker Straebel, Richard Glover, Alan Licht, Seth Nehil, Rob Forman, Johannes Knesl, Arthur Stidfole, Juan Carlos Kase, Raphael Smarzoch, Jens Brand, Bob Gilmore, Ulrich Krieger, Richard Lainhart, Bernard Gendron, Susan Stenger, Mathieu Copeland, and liner notes from the first two LPs." 22.5 x 24.5 cm softcover; 520 pages (English/French dual language text) with illustrations; includes two PAL format, region free DVDs (each is double-sided, 8 hours of total video).
Die Schachtel in collaboration with O' artspace proudly presents a deluxe DVD featuring six experimental films by New York-based composer, photographer and filmmaker Phill Niblock from the late-1960s. Anybody familiar with Niblock would probably characterize his work by the sound of his long, sonorous drones, producing rich overtones usually combined with a visual element -- since before moving into composition, Niblock was an active photographer and filmmaker. While he usually is known for his films from the Movement Of People Working series alongside performances of his music, Niblock's early works stand apart as unique objects. The integrity and consistency of his style is fully on display in these seldomly-seen or screened 16mm sound films wonders that include: Morning (1966-1969) from an idea by Phill Niblock and Jean Claude Van Itallie, filmed by PN, text by Lee Worley and Michael Corner, with members of the Open Theater group. Starring Lee Worley, James Barbosa, Cynthis Harris, Sharon Gans, Joseph Chaikin; text read by Lee Worley, James Barbosa, Barbara Porte, Dorothy Lyman, Michael Corner. Black & white 16mm film. The Magic Sun (1966-1968) with members of the Sun Ra Arkestra, music by Sun Ra and the Arkestra. Filmed on high-contrast black & white 16mm film. Dog Track (1969) -- a film by Phill Niblock, with a found text read by Barbara Porte. Color 16mm film. Annie (1968) -- a portrait of the dancer Ann Danoff, with a sound collage soundtrack. Color 16mm film. Max (1966-19) -- an image collage film/portrait of percussionist/sound-artist Max Neuhaus, with a collage soundtrack by Max Neuhaus. Black & white 16mm film. Raoul (1968-1969) -- a portrait of the painter Raoul Middleman, with extensive use of time-lapse film technique. The soundtrack is improvised by Raoul Middleman and Phill Niblock. Color 16mm film. Limited edition of 500 copies. NTSC, all-region DVD, stereo, 4:3 format. Run-time: 65 minutes.
This is Phill Niblock's fourth release on the Touch label. Phill Niblock is a New York-based minimalist composer and multi-media musician and director of Experimental Intermedia, a foundation born in the flames of 1968's barricade-hopping. He has been a maverick presence on the fringes of the avant garde ever since. In the history books Niblock is the forgotten Minimalist. His influence has had more impact on younger composers such as Susan Stenger, Lois V Vierk, David First, and Glenn Branca, and he's also worked with Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo. Touch Strings features three new pieces completed between 2007 and 2008. "Stosspeng," a piece for guitars and bass guitars performed by Susan Stenger and Robert Poss, premiered at the Donau Festival in Krems, Austria in April of 2007 after recording sessions to obtain materials for the piece took place at Robert Poss's Trace Elements studio in New York. The material for "Poure" was recorded in Johan Vandermaelen's Amplus studio in Aaigem, Belgium, and premiered at Schuurlo, Sint-Maria-Aalter, Belgium on September 12, 2008. Performed by Arne Deforce on cello, "Poure" was commissioned by the Centre de Recherches et de Formation Musicales de Wallonie, CRFMW, Liege, Belgium. "One Large Rose," performed by The Nelly Boyd Ensemble (Robert Engelbrecht, cello; Jan Feddersen, piano strummed with nylon strings; Peter Imig, violin; Jens Roehm, acoustic bass guitar strummed with nylon strings or e-bow), was made with the musicians playing from a score, and recorded acoustically in real time, with four recordings of 46 minutes each superimposed, until a final mix was completed at Experimental Intermedia, New York in October of 2008.
2006 release, repressed. This is Phill Niblock's third release on the Touch label. Phill Niblock is a New York-based minimalist composer and multi-media musician and director of Experimental Intermedia, a foundation born in the flames of 1968's barricade hopping. He has been a maverick presence on the fringes of the avant garde ever since. In the history books Niblock is the forgotten Minimalist. His influence has had more impact on younger composers such as Susan Stenger, Lois V. Vierk, David First, and Glenn Branca. Touch Three is minimalism in the classic sense of the word, if that makes sense. Niblock constructs big 24-track digitally-processed monolithic microtonal drones, and the result is sound without melody or rhythm. Movement is slow, geologically slow. Changes are almost imperceptible, and his music has a tendency of creeping up on you. The vocal pieces are like some of Ligeti's choral works, but a little more phased. He says: "What I am doing with my music is to produce something without rhythm or melody, by using many microtones that cause movements very, very slowly." These nine pieces were made from March 2003 to January 2005. They were all made (except "Sax Mix") by recording a single instrument with a single microphone. The recordings were direct to the computer/hard disk, most of them using a Powerbook G4, Pro Tools, an M-box and an external firewire drive. The resulting mono sound files were edited to remove breathing spaces, leaving the natural decay of the tone, and the attack of the subsequent iteration of the same tone. Each note was represented by several repetitions, perhaps ten for each tone, of about 15 seconds duration each. Each piece uses a few tones. A simple chord, perhaps. Additional microtonal intervals were produced in Pro Tools using pitch shift. The pieces were assembled in multitracks, usually either 24 or 32 tracks. The recording environment varied from a simple apartment in Berlin (Ulrich Krieger's) to a very large hall used for symphony orchestra performances and recordings, with a sizable audience space. The recordings were generally done quite closely miked. One hears only the sound of the instrument. There is no electronic manipulation in the recording, the editing of the tones, or in the mix. The only changes to the recorded tones are the pitch shifts to create microtones...the microtones are doing the work.

But then isn't Barrie's argument stale. That's not a criticism of Barrie, it is the situation. Just as we say that no one has figured out how the image was formed – which every student of logic knows is a big fat fallacy – we haven't figured out anything better to say about the image except what it is not and to keep bringing up those chemical and physical details.
The Rev. Andrew Dalton, a Legionaries of Christ priest who's a shroud expert, told Crux that although the Church respects the autonomy of the scientific community, there are details that simply couldn't have been forged centuries ago.
Isn't Colin Berry trying to figure out how the image was maybe formed by a forger with Thibault Heimburger reminding him about those pesky little details that "that simply couldn't have been forged centuries ago." Inés San Martín should be interviewing them. Here, right out of this blog, let's look at two comments.
"These aspects of the TS that the new model is supposed to match" are very important.
Now, if you think that these facts are not proved, despite the many photos you have, I can't add anything.
The " 'scattered colored spots" (also seen in Garlaschelli's shroud) is only my description of your hand imprint.
I'll be in Turin until Sunday.
Yes, it's vitally important to match every tiny detail of the TS, as it existed when first produced. My new project will attempt to simulate in the kitchen the effect of centuries of subtle degradation on an image of unknown provenance, whether 700 or 2000 years old.
Seriously, TH, one has to recognize the limitations of any attempts at model building. That's what we scientists, as distinct from physicians, engineers, technologists etc do – we build models. Recognizing the limitations of models, we are concerned primarily with the principles, especially when there are so many who claim for example that a 200nm thick image in unexplainable by conventional science (wrong, it is).
I am not trying to produce a facsimile copy of the TS (forgery Mark 2?) merely to show that its defining characteristics are consistent with medieval forgery. That's as a counter to those pseudoscientific agenda-pushers who say they are not. (That's my agenda – anti-pseudoscience). "Defining characteristic" must not turned into a trail (trial?) with no ending.
Hat tip to Joe Marino for sending the Crux article along.
I had a dream last night. For some reason I was dreaming of Charles Freeman and his painting theory. I remembered conversations with Isabel Piczek at her studio. She always develops her paintings, which are large scale murals, with a "cartoon" as she calls it. I would call it a sketch that becomes the guide for where and how she would apply the paint. I assume that almost all artists start with an outline, cartoon or sketch. So in the case of Freeman's theory, if all the paint has now flaked off, where is the outline? Where is the underlying sketch?
First of all, dreaming of Charles Freeman and his painting theory is not merely a dream, it's a nightmare.
Anyway, when I first read about the shroud, I often read about how the image on the shroud had no outline. Isabel was often quoted and I found myself using the lack of an outline as an argument. Then one day, I was on Fifth Avenue along the edge of Central Park in Manhattan. There is along this famous avenue, where the sidewalk is as wide as the road, an area where local artists sell their works hanging on a fence or spread out on the pavement. Occasionally, you will find an artist painting portraits of tourists. I watched one such artist at work. He began with a smattering of seemingly random brush strokes with random colors from his palette. It was, for most of the time that he was painting, a work of pure chaos. Then the portrait emerged, slowly at first. The was the moment of I think I see the face. Then, it was, of course that is a face. Finally, after maybe ten minutes, it was as hyper realistic as Albrecht Dürer's self portrait, ca. 1500 AD (above). Watching this artist work was like watching the Harlem Globetrotters. No one shoots baskets like that. No one paints like that, without even a hint of an outline.
The Shroud is a salutary shock, which invites you to not give up ever, and aiming high in life.
Italian police are accustomed to "ageing" photographs of wanted gangsters to help them track down fugitive.
Now they have reversed the process to generate a photofit image of Jesus Christ as a child, using as their starting point the adult man captured in Turin's famous shroud, believed by many Catholics to represent the face of the crucified Christ.
The computer-generated images were released to mark a two-month exhibition during which the 14-foot-long sheet, normally kept in a sealed container in a chapel next to Turin Cathedral, will remain on public display in the city. Pope Francis is due to visit . . .
Seven thousand of Italy's youth have arrived in Turin for a youth event of the Shroud Exposition, the White Night of Faith.
Might tactile chemography prove to be the super-model?
These are early days, but I'm (how shall we say?) quietly confident.
No wine before its time. And don't read Colin Berry's posts in his blog before they have aged for a few days to match his unorthodox posting style. Now is the time. Fine wine indeed if you like something acidic. Give it time to breath. That doesn't mean, of course, that you or I will like it. It is time to read Might this be how the Turin Shroud was faked, using medieval alchemy?
Here it is folks: the best I can offer after more than 3 years of almost non-stop experimentation : Model 9 ("the nitric acid model").
Alternative name (afterthought, added 25th April): this new technique produces what might be called a "tactile chemograph". Maybe there was only one ever produced (the image that we now call the Turin Shroud). The tactile chemograph may be thought of as a forerunner of the photograph. (In both instances, one produces a latent image from a real person without harming them in any way, one that can then be developed in a bath (or vapour chamber) with the appropriate developing chemicals.
The Turin Shroud. was this the world's first and only tactile chemograph (think of it as a primitive 'photographic' negative, except for one tiny detail. Neither light not any other kind of elect6romagnetic radiation played any part in its production. It relied on the human touch (well, gentle massage actually).
What finally persuaded this blogger to abandon thermal scorching, and move to liquid (or semi-liquid) imprinting? It was that paper that Joe Accetta PhD presented at the St.Louis gathering, 2014, in which he propsoed that the TS image had been produced by woodblock imprinting. Up till that time I'd always been sceptical re the use of any kind of liquid imprinting medium, considering that would risk a reverse-side image. But I concocted my own equivalent of Joe's "oak gall" imprinting ink, in which the iron salts probably have a mordant action, as well as creating the ink by reaction with plant tannins. Here's an image produced, substituting tannin-rich pomegranate rind extract for oak galls, supplemented with iron (II)sulphate.
That 'wet' image was as good, if not better than anything produced by scorching. Yes. there was some reverse-side penetration, but might that not be minimized by suitable modification of technique, or simply by using thicker linen (and the TS linen IS thick, as Hugh Farey has observed).
Once liquid imprinting was permitted as an option, then a host of new experimental options were opened up. Thanks Joe Accetta. You weaned me of those thermal scorches (but they were useful in other ways, showing that ANY negative imprint can model certain key features of the TS, notably negative image and 3D-enhancibility). Models in science do not need to tick all boxes simultaneously. One can run different models in parallel, each earning its keep in one or other respect, while patiently waiting for the day when the super-model suggests itself, one that combines the best features of its precursors, not only mine, but those of Garlaschelli and Accetta in particular. Hugh Farey and Adrie van der Hoeven added some useful and thought-provoking grist to the mill too, though whether they and the previous two would approve of the end-result is another matter.
Might tactile chemography prove to be the super-model? We shall see. These are early days, but I'm (how shall we say?) quietly confident.
Oh oh! You can't put the cork back in, can you?
Do go read Might this be how the Turin Shroud was faked, using medieval alchemy?
