The Karen Burt Award was launched in 1998 in memory of Dr Karen Burt, an eminent physicist and active member and Council office holder in The Women's Engineering Society. She campaigned tirelessly to promote the recruitment and retention of women in science and engineering – a cause which is still very much alive and important today as it was when she first began simply because of the scale of shift we have to make.
This Award in particular recognises the best newly qualified female Chartered Engineer and aims to encourage more women to achieve Chartered Engineer status in either engineering, applied science or IT. This year's winner, Clare Lavelle, was nominated by the Energy Institute so we were especially delighted for Clare when she won.
Clare works as an energy consultant for Arup, specialising in offshore energy: offshore windfarms, wave and tidal as well as oil and gas decommissioning. She inherited her interest in engineering from her father and his enthusiasm for technology. She studied physics and maths and enjoyed the discipline and rigour of those subjects. Luckily, Clare had a reasonably rare influence in her life which many do not, so we still struggle to undo societal norms that work against the promotion of STEM careers to girls in particular – those influences which comes from our parents and the teaching profession largely who can often themselves be unaware of the real opportunities a STEM-based education can provide.
Clare finds working in the energy sector very rewarding because energy professionals and the decisions that they make have real impact on society, climate change and people's quality of life. So, rightly, she feels she is doing work that has meaning. Very many congratulations to Clare who now becomes an important role model for others to see and hopefully recognise a bit of themselves in.


Using the pleasant and cheerful connotations of the words "Artistic and Healthy" as inspiration, we proposed this project, presented at the Gallery-Ma as a vision for future community development. At the core of this case study was "Agri-planning," an idea for city planning with agriculture in mind. Our goal is to have this project realized in Hisayama-machi, Fukuoka Prefecture.
Mr. Yamashita, the board chairman, hold an exhibition at TOTO GALLERY•MAfrom October 13th to December 22th. "Artistic and Healthy Community Development Project" was also displayed and the past case studies were showed intelligibly.
Through the introduction to the chief director on March 5th, we gave a presentation to the mayor Kuba. Hisayama-machi, Kasuya County, Fukuoka Prefecture is internationally famous for "Hisayama town study" in the medical field. At the same time, the town is nature-rich and 97% is designated as the controlled urbanization area. On the other hand, the town development had little progress as they wished to because of the system and low birthrates and longevity. Therefore, they seemed to be interested in "Artistic and Healthy Community Development".
We had received a contact from Hisayama-machi, Fukuoka Prefecture about taking interest in "Artistic and Healthy Community Development", and introduced this project to Policy Promotion Section's chief director.

Tonight, I will be hosting the first of two Goodreads Q&A! Having the chance to connect and discuss the books, writing, the characters, the motivations behind each or whatever else readers would like to know is exciting to me! The Q&A group will be active from tonight until October 2, 2013 and I will be answering the questions from 7pm-11pm nightly. As always, I am an open book: no question is "out-of-bounds." I have found that being open and willing to examine any sincere question leads not only to a deeper level of healing but also to a more authentic connection with others. My books cover sensitive topics. Child abuse, teen suicide, the Holocaust, domestic violence, faith and creativity. This can create a sense of reluctance to communicate. On the other hand, though, if all we ever share with others is news about the weather or our day calendars, how are we supposed to grow as human beings? How are we supposed to forge true and meaningful friendships? Hosting a Q&A is my way of opening the door further…. of welcoming and encouraging genuine communication. I am convinced that understanding, compassion, kindness and healing will result.
Of course, questions and comments need not be so in-depth, either. Perhaps the blog posts have simply made you wonder how I go without sleep or what a particular character looks like. Maybe reading The Character made you wonder if I've ever asked for thirty-two taste tests at Baskin Robbins before, like Ash intended to do. Or maybe you have a story in your head that's itching to find a home on paper and you'd like to know more about my writing processes…. what makes this crazy thing work for me. Maybe you know from reading the blog that I home-school my children and are curious about how that works, or why I chose that method of education for them. Maybe, like one reader once asked me, you wonder if the spelling of my name is "really the way" my mother spelled it or if came up with the "ini" on my own (what a fun conversation that was!). Maybe you like (or not) the names of my daughters, Breathe and Alight, and are curious as to their origins. On this page are some of the drawings I did for Holding Home: perhaps you have a question or comment on one of the drawings? Whatever the case may be…. this is the time and place to ask me!
Since I'm only world-famous in my imagination, though, I thought I'd give you a few ways to get the questions flowing.
The book I am currently working on (as yet untitled) is about human trafficking. This excerpt is the first chapter of the book and it not only prompted several readers of this blog to tell me it made them cry—-it made me cry too! Or maybe you're curious about the book that continues to outsell the others, The Character. You could read this excerpt to get a feel for my beloved Anna and Ash. You can read some of the most breath-taking acclaim for this book here. Broken is currently my favorite book. Like several of the others, it involves sensitive topics like bullying and child abuse. It is also the first persona narration of a fifteen-year-old who sees suicide as a means of escape. It also follows the life of a child whose parent is incarcerated. You can read an excerpt here. Excerpts for Holding Home, the book that details domestic violence and the effect it has on children, can be found here. For a more traditional, mainstream read, you can delve into the life of Aria, who witnessed her parents die in a murder/suicide tragedy and then went on to meet amazing characters like a joyful homeless man and a cowboy who works for free. Forget Me Not covers a topic that is virtually unheard of. It follows a child that is never, ever touched. As she says: "No hugs. No pats on the head. No nothing." The research for that book left me emotionally drained. You can read one of the more poignant excerpts here. Excerpts for Mountains of Hope, my book on the Holocaust can be found on this blog as well. Or perhaps reading the letter I wrote and sent to survivors of the Holocaust would inspire questions or comments: that letter is here. And, lastly, a synopsis and interview for Me can be found here.

Healthcare is highly dependent on early detection, accurate diagnosis, and efficient therapeutic. And for each of these cases, the advent of real-time e-healthcare system is proving to be a boon, as patients can now keep their health records and track the changes at any point of time. The demand in the global real-time e-healthcare system is also gaining traction from the growing awareness among the consumers that the new methods can help them stay in touch with their caregivers, not depending on a third party.
Various vendors operating in the global real-time e-healthcare system are advancing their products technologically in order to improve the clinical decision making, particularly for the patients suffering from chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular. Escalating percentage of geriatrics among the global population is another prominent factors augmenting the demand in the global real-time e-healthcare system market, as aged people generally are unable to revisit the medical facilities. Increasing disposable income, improving healthcare infrastructure, increasing need for an integrated healthcare system, and ubiquity of smartphones as well as widespread penetration of the Internet are some of the other factors favoring the global real-time e-healthcare system market.
This report on the global real-time e-healthcare system market has been prepared by a group of professional market research analysts, aspiring to serve as a decision-making credible business document for the stockholders of this market. The report provides in-depth assessment of all factors that may define the future prospects, segments it into smaller aspects, and profiles some of the key companies to showcase the competitive landscape.
Even as the healthcare sector undergoes a transformative change from paper-based to digital healthcare records, TMR predicts greater change in this space with the advent of real-time e-healthcare systems. Both patients and healthcare providers are feeling the need to have access to healthcare records in real time. This has led software developers and IT solutions providers to respond via the development of real-time healthcare records and systems.
Simply stated, a real-time e-healthcare system is a digital health platform that allows instant access to healthcare records at any time and from any location. This enables constant communication between medical practitioners and their patients. Health conditions can be monitored more closely and efficiently. The latest generation of real-time e-healthcare systems has gone a step further by allowing patients to check their healthcare records against pre-set parameters to reduce dependence on a third party when doing so.


Mobile is a smaller town than I give her credit. I like the small town vibe for the most part.
Don't get me wrong, she's got her "big girl" attributes in museums, decent sized hotels, the RSA Tower, a battleship, and her very own Chuck E. Cheese. For a creature of habit like me, that big city living shrinks to a size that could make Bo and Luke Duke claustrophobic.
I have my familiar haunts and I venture out a little bit, but even when I do there are people I know around every corner, and I don't know that many people. I am thankful for friends and acquaintances around my MiMo and LoDa scene. But recently I felt like getting away from it all but didn't feel like leaving town. There's a place where I am highly unlikely to run into anyone I know. A place where subterfuge is effortless, a place free of familiar faces where even someone as famous as our own Rob Holbert can remain anonymous, that place is West Mobile.
Everyone knows Rob. When we hang out we can't get away with anything. I had a little Christmas money to burn so Rob and I called up Agent 549 and headed west (at 549's recommendation) to a spot we could all relax and enjoy a fancy meal free of distractions. Enter Pour Baby.
Pour Baby is an entity across the street from Providence Hospital with one of those wine systems that allows even the finest bottle to be served by the glass. This is perfect for those nights when a bottle is just too much, or maybe you want a different wine for each course. It's an interesting system. Wines are called up per location, and the whole thing is very efficient, especially for a menu that boasts 23 whites and 38 reds. I consider Agent 549 knowledgeable of French Rosé, and we both started with Commanderie de la Bargemone Rose ($8 per glass) while Rob went for the red side of the menu with Monterey County's Miura Vineyards Pinot Noir ($12 per glass).
Pour Baby, near Providence Hospital, has a full menu to compliment its extensive wine list.
We couldn't sit around swilling wine without cheese so I called for a three cheese Artisanal Cheese Flight ($18). The menu has a list of eight cheeses to choose from complete with wine pairings per cheese. Too late to reorder wine, rather than selecting cheese for what we were drinking I threw caution to the wind and ordered the three that sounded the best to me.
The first was Mobay mixed milk which had a layer of sheep milk cheese and a layer of goat milk cheese pressed together with a thin layer of fine grape ash serving as a line of demarcation.
Curado Manchego was a sheep cheese from Spain that was a little softer than the Mobay. But the best one was Delice de France Camembert. It was so creamy and delicious I enjoyed it with the rose, though it wasn't one of the recommended pairings.
The cheeses were great by themselves but then I went back and tried them with the amazing marmalade and contrasting olives and candied nuts. This is living.
Cheese is great but I am a Charcuterie ($15) man. This board did not disappoint. Prosciutto, chorizo, salami were expectedly fantastic with crostini. Sweet pickles and pickled onions had me going, but the best part was the pâté. Rob asked our waitress if it were duck or goose. "Chicken," she replied, once again proving that the chicken liver is a versatile component.
Entrees were interesting, especially for being west of I-65. Pan roasted quail ($16) was right up 549's alley. Spicy greens cooked in bacon and braised went perfect with the fried corn cake. Quail is growing in popularity around this town, despite its small size and difficult joints. This version was tender and succulent.
Rob was pleased with his Seafood Stew ($16). A very neat white bean broth was the base for roasted carrots amongst mussels and sautéed shrimp. I don't think he caught the fact that his nemesis tarragon aioli made the sauce a little more delicious. I was afforded a mussel. Rob was stingy with his shrimp.
The Fresh Gulf Fish ($18) of the day was amberjack. This was a sizeable chunk pan seared with a red radish tartar sauce. I was not disappointed. I hate it when people say, "the fish was cooked perfectly," but the fish was cooked perfectly. It was just the right amount of doneness and seasoning. The thing I couldn't figure out was the herb roasted squash as the side. It was thinly sliced and fork tender but not falling apart. I certainly had the best meal of the three.
A couple more glasses of wine later we received a tab of $157.30. Sounds pretty steep, and maybe it is. This may be a special place for you to get away from it all and enjoy a nice meal with a great wine selection. I may return for an afternoon glass or two with the charcuterie board as my snack. Truth be known, though, I will pay handsomely for a hideaway.
It's ridiculous that the kid begging for attention in class is now appreciating solitude, but it didn't last long. We weren't even halfway across the parking lot before we were saying, "Let's head downtown for wine. Wanna bet who is working the bar?" Typical.


Erin and Bobby, along with their families, invite you to join them in celebrating their marriage in La Quinta, California! All of the wedding details are here, including directions to La Quinta and lodging options. We look forward to seeing you March 7th at the La Quinta Country Club!
Ceremony at 4:00 pm followed by cocktail hour then dinner and dancing.

There is plenty of parking and golf cart shuttles will be available for those who may need assistance.
This is a formal affair with black tie optional. As such, young children are not included except those in the wedding party.

Education & Kids Bay Ridge
Pajamas in school? Kids wear nighttime attire to class!
December 23, 2013 By Paula Katinas Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Students at Saint Patrick Catholic Academy recently ditched their school uniforms in favor of pajamas. But don't worry. The youngsters didn't get into trouble.
The school's principal, Andrea D'Emic, gave her permission!
Third graders at the Catholic school at 401 97th St. in Bay Ridge wore their favorite PJs to class on Dec. 17 as part of their class salute to "The Polar Express," a classic children's book written in 1985 by Chris Van Allsburg.
Their teacher, Erin Watters, read the book aloud in class.
Wearing pajamas allowed the students to get into the spirit of "The Polar Express," which tells the story of a young boy who boards a mysterious train in the middle of the night headed for the North Pole. The boy is joined by lots of other youngsters, all in their pajamas.
In the book, the train leads them all straight to Santa Claus and on a timeless adventure that captures the magic of Christmas. The book won Van Allsburg the Caldecott Medal for children's literature, according to Barnes & Noble, which also reported that the book has sold more than 7 million copies to date.

Category — Clay
Performed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Urban Bush women displayed African American culture and traditions as well as the struggle that came with African Diaspora, migration of Africans to America and later on to the world, through expressive dance performances. For many members of the audience like me, it was difficult to understand the story of the dance performance. Only in the end did I realize that there was no plot. Without sufficient introduction in the beginning of the performance, Urban Bush women confused its audience. [Read more →]
Clay Makes a Mould All His Own
by Katie Alarcon
"Let me introduce you to my man Clay!" The hip one man musical with hip hop, yes hip-hop.
Now any skeptic or Broadway buff that might scoff at the idea of hip-hop or any non traditional form of music on a stage. They might even deign to hide a condescending laugh at the idea of a white guy going to a bookstore of all places and rapping his way to self-actualization. Just watching the first five minutes of "Clay" can change those judgmental notions and there lies the power of Mr. Sax. Matt Sax's refreshing rhymes and contagiously energetic performance joins the ranks of such musicals as "In the Heights" a Broadway musical with the enterprising Lin Manuel Miranda. [Read more →]

Matt Sax in CLAY
CLAY is a one-man hip-hop musical written and performed by Matt Sax. It is a story about a boy named Clifford whose mother kills herself and whose father finds another woman who Clifford gradually comes to have an affair with. He finally escapes the torments of his own home and finds a mentor in the back of a bookstore, Sir John, a man of words, a poetry slam. He teaches him how to use words, and how to express himself. In one of the funniest scenes of the show, Sir John finds Clifford to be replicating the usual themes of rap songs rather than saying what's really on his mind. "You ever met a prostitute before?" he asks after Clifford has ended a song. "Um, no." [Read more →]

A Musical Promised is a Drama Delivered
Matt Sax in "Clay"
Emerging playwright Matt Sax: writer, composer, and one man star of the hip-hop stage performance "Clay," breaks all the limits with "Clay" 's energized compilation of rap music and the coming of age story of a distressed boy running from the troubles at home. From crude humor to foul language, Sax is relentless with his portrayal of the amazing total of five different characters. [Read more →]
Clay: Succor through rap ballads
Amidst the clamor and flashing billboards in the heart of Times Square, The Duke on 42nd street sets the stage for Matt Sax's explosive performance of one-man hip-hop musical, Clay.
Behind the red velvet curtains draping the stage, a man who calls himself Sir John begins to rattle the crowd anticipating the arrival of acclaimed hip-hop superstar Clay. While the audience awaits the entrance of Clay, Sir John like a chameleon morphs into Clifford. Though Clifford's face is hidden under the hood of his sweater, the audience's eyes are curiously fixated on the blood smeared all over his face. This is just the start of the intoxicating performance where we are introduced to the protagonist Clifford, his obnoxious and callous father, emotionally distressed mother, his pedophilic stepmother, and hip-hop mentor Sir John. [Read more →]
"Come inside, open up your ears up wide" to hear the story of a derelict 17-year old boy named Clifford who flees from his dysfunctional "family" and finds a home in the arms of Sir John and hip-hop. "Clay", the one-man hip-hop musical held at the Duke on 42nd Street, certainly broke the traditional and ordinary mindset of a classic musical. Written and performed by Matt Sax, "Clay" opened its curtains with the night that Clifford is performing his major debut as a hip-hop performer. At once, we can see that this play twists time as it is loaded with flashbacks. [Read more →]
Who says that a good Broadway show must incorporate a cast of dozens of talented performers with extensive experience, or be performed on a grand stage with the latest and greatest lighting and sound equipment? At the Duke on 42nd street, viewers can enjoy one of the best Broadway shows playing today: "Clay", a one-man hip-hop performance by the extremely talented Matt Sax. While attending Northwestern University, Sax began to write this musical and performed versions of it at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the Lookingglass Theatres/ About Face Theatre in Chicago before bringing it to The Duke in Times Square itself. A combination of heart-pumping music, a creative and emotional story, and spectacular acting make "Clay" a worthy Tony Award candidate. [Read more →]

As one can imagine, I expected the hip-hop musical Clay to be like nothing I had ever seen before. Not only was it anything but ordinary, it also went above and beyond my expectations. With a song about sleeping with his stepmother, the main man Clifford certainly has a few surprises up his hoodie sleeves. This one-man musical was intensely entertaining. [Read more →]
I had always looked down upon Hip Hop culture, partially because the gibberish language was too much of a distraction. I carried that thought with me when I arrived at the Duke on 42nd street, with a free ticket in my hand. It wasn't until Clay, Hip Hop musical, started that I began to understand why Professor Bernstein chose this piece. It was different. Watching theatrical plays for the whole semester, I have always wanted to explore other form of art. Clay not only altered my view of Hip Hop culture but also exposed the audiences to Clifford's World of broken promises and internal struggles. [Read more →]
A New Twist on an Old Story
by Yuliya Feldman
www.aboutfacetheater.com
The set up is rather simple – one man, a small stage, a small audience. Even the theater, located between the huge luminescent attractions of 42nd street, is so small that it is difficult to find. Yet what happens in The Duke Theater night after night can only be described as grand. Adopting the unusual genre of a hip-hop musical, Clay is able to exhilarate its audiences with its dramatic lighting effects and thunderous music. [Read more →]

Quantifying variation of deformation rates and their relationship to earthquakes.
These themes build toward a common framework for understanding active crustal deformation and its expression in landscapes. The first two research themes differ largely by time scale, with the first focused on short-term deformation processes over one or more earthquake cycles, and the second concerned with longer-term accumulated deformation and time-averaged processes. The third theme includes the development of new tools to quantify deformation from topography. I also pursue the inverse problem of quantifying surface processes from geomorphic responses to crustal deformation.
My current interests include the slip-rate behavior of strike-slip faults, the evolution of plateau landscapes, and the interaction of tectonics, erosion and sedimentation, with fieldwork focused on tectonically active areas of North America and China. My students and I make extensive use of high-resolution lidar topography and remote-sensing imagery in our research. Check out my blog for more information about my current research program.

Posted in FILM with tags Bernard Fresson, Fernando Rey, Gene Hackman, John Frankenheimer, The French Connection, The French Connecttion II on July 7, 2015 by dcairns
THE FRENCH CONNECTION II is a pretty good follow-up, really. Different enough from the original (we're in France, the whole time, for one thing) it still has enough of the same grime (Marseille gives good grime), loud, incoherent sound, and surliness to feel like a continuation. Instead of a car chase, it has a foot chase at the end, and a loooong sequence where Gene Hackman's ghastly Popeye Doyle gets forcibly shot up with skag by the baddies and then has to undergo a gruelling cold turkey in a French police cell. You almost feel sorry for him.
As Doyle's opposite number, Bernard Fresson, that strange hybrid bull/bulldog/bullfrog is grumpy and leaden enough to make a good foil for the ugly American in his midst (if one man can be said to have a "midst" — and if any one man can, that man is surely Fresson).
Ah, Popeye Doyle. The movie gets a lot of mileage out of his complete refusal to comprehend that French people speak French, a language containing several different words from English. And that slang expressions travel less well than simple, clear speech.
Gene Hackman probably had a better time on this one than on the original, since his star was rising and Frankenheimer generally looked after his stars (while yelling, crimson-faced at everyone else). William Friedkin had told him, "I wouldn't even hire you to play Gene Hackman," and he meant it to sting. Still, Hackman is put through his paces, here, what with the sweltering foot chase through the streets and docks, the cold turkey, and having to explain things to French bartenders. The movie could be usefully augmented by an insert of a cardiogram in the bottom left corner monitoring how close Popeye/Gene is getting to explosive infarction from one moment to the next.
Thing I Read Off The Screen in The French Connection
Posted in FILM, Politics with tags Edinburgh International Film Festival, Fernando Rey, Gene Hackman, The Exorcist, The French Connection, The People Vs Paul Crump, William Friedkin on June 27, 2012 by dcairns
SHOE SERVICE for flatfeet.
In a creative solution to a scheduling issue, William Friedkin appeared at Filmhouse to talk about his career the day BEFORE Edinburgh International Film Festival launched with his new movie KILLER JOE. This year the Festival has soft edges — it starts before it starts, and it goes on after it finishes, via the La Cava retrospective which runs on into July. Six films in the fest, and six after.
Plot: Fernando Rey basically smuggles into the states a Lincoln Continental made of heroin. When I'm as rich as Fernando Rey I will drive a Sherman Tank made of marzipan.
Counter-plot: a friend says she first saw the film while slightly stoned (ironically, perhaps) and it seemed to consist purely of random men following each other about. Which is what it seemed like to me when I saw it as a kid. Theory: being a kid = being stoned all the time.
Sub-plot: today the film seems incredibly tight, linear and pretty logical, apart from the car chase. This has been cleverly stapled into the surrounding narrative (which is fact-based, unlike the El-train pursuit) but you can still see the staples.
THE FRENCH CONNECTION is a shot-on-the-streets kind of thing, which means that reality is constantly commenting on the action. My eye goes to signs and seeks meaning. Rather than a director's commentary, the film features a running commentary by Brooklyn itself.
IMAGINATIVE FRAMING reads one sign, moments before Friedkin shoots Fernando Ray reflected in two mirrors. Also, DO NOT PARK, one of countless state injunctions, the ten thousand commandments of urban living, which poke their heads into the film like pop-up ads.
The Siamese Connection! (can you read the sign, lower right?) I dunno what DORAL, or is it BORAL PARKING is all about.
Friedkin talked about how all actors are different and require different approaches — some may need "the utmost gentleness," some require ferocity. Somehow, all of his stories seem to involve the ferocious approach. Gene Hackman had trouble finding his character's aggression, so Friedkin provoked him into a state of fury for the entire shoot. I felt sorry for the actor playing the hood that Popeye Doyle slaps around — fifty takes, because Friedkin wasn't satisfied by his star's level of viciousness.
Given that Friedkin slapped a Catholic priest when making THE EXORCIST, and a death row inmate while making THE PEOPLE VS PAUL CRUMP, I have to fight the suspicion that Friedkin became a filmmaker in order to slap people.
EYVAN PERFUMES — AIRBORNE
Fiona asked if W.F. was influenced by Henri-Georges Clouzot's techniques of working with actors. He said he wasn't, but he immediately knew what she meant. "I've heard he was tough on actors, but I don't have any evidence of that." We do!
LE DERNIER CRI
Friedkin is a practiced, glib and funny talker, so the session flew past. At 76 he's still full of beans, and probably piss and vinegar too, but he was charm itself in Edinburgh. He talked about the recalled Blu-ray of FRENCH CONNECTION and how something went wrong in the one part of the process he didn't check… hard to believe that a control freak like Friedkin could make such a slip. Some suspect that he radically revised the look of the film, then changed his mind when the response was bad. Certainly he should have involved cinematographer Owen Roizman in the process. But the movie looked great on the big screen, now that the extreme revision of the original look has been adjusted to give a more authentic 1970s appearance.
SQUIBBS MINERAL OIL
The climax of the film takes place in a blasted landscape where no text survives… Friedkin was vociferous in his denunciation of modern comic book and video game inspired movies, but the pealing paint and crumbling masonry of THE FRENCH CONNECTION's last sequence feel like something video games are now trying to achieve — that pervasive sense of decay. They haven't quite gotten there yet.
The final onscreen writing in the film is the summary of what happened to the characters afterwards. The cops are punished and the guilty get off. The film may be inspired by a true story, but it hasn't explicitly said so yet, so this is a left-field move in a film full of narrative surprises. Friedkin's best dramas move like documentaries and his documentaries move like dramas (although there's another strand to his work which is unashamedly theatrical, from THE BIRTHDAY PARTY to KILLER JOE). This end note, which affects a purely factual, neutral tone, actually tips the film's hand somewhat. While casually showing the cops' racism and obnoxious qualities, the movie has successfully balanced between a cool, telling-it-like-it-is distance and a more involved, propulsive story where we root for the goodies against the baddies. No political view on the "war on drugs" is offered. But the ending takes us into conservative values, and the DIRTY HARRY sense of alarm that criminals sometimes have lawyers who sometimes get them off. But, since this is a Hollywood movie, we're still free to look at it another way — all this effort to arrest traffickers and seize drug hauls is a futile waste. Friedkin's misanthropic nihilism is happy to be taken either way.
Id Entity Crisis
Posted in FILM, Mythology with tags Amy Seimetz, Baldlands, Chris Fujiwara, Edinburgh College of Art, Edinburgh International Film Festival, Eduardo Sanchez, Gretchen Lodge, Kate Lyn Sheil, Kentucker Audley, Lovely Molly, Sun Don't Shine, Terrence Malick, The French Connection, William Friedkin on June 20, 2012 by dcairns
Made it to two press shows at EIFF yesterday, followed by Filmhouse's screening of THE FRENCH CONNECTION, with a Q&A with William Friedkin afterwards, chaired by Chris Fujiwara, the festival director. More on that later. And that was followed by the Art College's film show, which was followed by a couple pints of Guinness and a probably unwise glass of whisky. Today my mouth feels like it's had British people holidaying in it.
My first press show was SUN DON'T SHINE, a rather fine lovers-on-the-run movie from writer-director Amy Seimetz. While the influence of BADLANDS hangs over it — poetic, floaty tone, achingly beautiful cinematography, dark underpinnings — the characters are somewhat different. While Malick's '50s runaways were psychopathically detached and ill-educated, Seimetz's are just plain dumb. He (Kentucker Audley) thinks he has a plan to get them out of trouble, but from what I could grasp of the set-up, it wasn't a very good one. So he's Ollie — the dumb one who thinks he's smart. She (Kate Lyn Sheil) is mentally and emotionally a baby: she knows she's not smart, but she's not capable of grasping how dumb she really is. So she's Stan. She also has the best dumb-person line I've heard in years, delivered in warm and dreamy tones: "You're good at planning. I'm not real good at planning, I'm better at being spontaneous." Yeah, you have a real talent for doing the first thing that pops into your head. That's a gift.
Although my easy response to stupidity is to laugh at it, but Seimetz also creates sympathy for her screwed-up leads (and her actors are thoroughly convincing), and her ending is really beautiful. And, while most movies go to far in trying to push things to the furthest possible extreme, this one hangs back nicely and keeps things credible. Really a little delight.
"If I stand behind this doorjamb does it freak you out? Have you seen AUDITION?"
Less successful, for me, was LOVELY MOLLY (not to be confused with Sidney Lumet's LOVIN' MOLLY), from Eduardo Sanchez of BLAIR WITCH fame. This mines the fertile, post-ROSEMARY'S BABY terrain of "is she crazy or is it supernatural?" and sustains it for maybe the first half, thanks to Gretchen Lodge's thoroughly committed perf. But the balance is off — unlike BLAIR WITCH (which I haven't seen since it came out, but liked just fine), this one is about serious stuff — drug addiction, mental illness and child abuse — so the more generic elements are a lot less scary and ultimately provide an excuse for the film not to frighten us. While the film keeps the rapist ghost and mental breakdown stuff in balance, things are good and disturbing, and as the madness explanation comes to the fore, there's still at least the possibility of deep unease, but then the return of the paranormal craziness cuts the legs from under that. Maybe in the Bible Belt the thing will play differently, because to them, the Lord of Darkness is just as real as abusive fathers and heroine, but it didn't convince me, and if we're meant to take that side of it seriously then it's a very reactionary vision.
The found-footage camcorder stuff is back in there, but it's only a small part of the movie, thankfully. Strikingly unconvincing, though — the red dot and "REC" sign in the top corner? Really? Come one, Sanchez, you practically invented this shit, haven't you noticed that camcorders don't record that? Also, we see shots of the character's camera, and its little screen doesn't look anything like what you're showing us.
There are some decent scares and some anxious moments, so diehard fans may get some kicks out of it, and the cast are very good indeed. But as the horrors mount up, the supporting characters' failure to call in the shrinks becomes progressively more ridiculous — the ambition to create a proper character-led movie is hamstrung by the way people keep doing silly things for the sake of the plot. Which is where setting up any kind of division between plot and character will get you into trouble.

Marc is not a newbie. He has over 70 books published. Why? In my humble opinion, it's because Marc isn't just a great writer, he's tenatious. He's not willing to dump a manuscript that he believes in into a drawer and forget about it. In fact, it's practically an essential quality if you want to get published in today's market. So, for all you writers out there, both published and unpublished, drop into Marc's site and see what confidence in a manuscript, and a little ingenuity can do for your career. You won't be disappointed.


Problems pertaining to approximation and their applications have been extensively studied in the theory of convex bodies. In this talk we discuss several such problems, and focus on their extension to the realm of measures. In particular, we discuss variations of problems concerning the approximation of convex bodies by polytopes with a given number of vertices. This is done by introducing a natural construction of convex sets from Borel measures. We provide several estimates concerning these problems, and describe an application to bounding certain average norms.


Cool game. I really like the atari sounds and the music, the jump mechanic is pretty satisfying. I'd consider adding some more checkpoints to avoid frustration though, some bits of the game are pretty tough.

Registered Disability Savings Plan
The RDSP is a savings plan that was introduced by the Federal Government in December 2008. The RDSP is a long term savings plan for people with severe disabilities that will help to enhance their financial well being in the future. It involves significant contributions from the Government and earnings within the RDSP are not taxed until funds are withdrawn. Payments coming from the plan can be used for any purpose but must begin no later that the year in which the person with the disability turns age 60. In order to qualify for the RDSP, the person with the disability must qualify and continue to qualify for the Disability Tax Credit under the rules of the Income Tax Act.
The RDSP has a structure which involves the Plan Holder and the Plan Beneficiary. The beneficiary of the RDSP is the person with the disability. The plan holder is usually the person who establishes the plan and who has control over the financial aspects of it. The plan holder can be the plan beneficiary if that person has the ability to enter into legal contracts. If the beneficiary of the RDSP is under age 18, a plan can be established by the parent or legal guardian. If the beneficiary is over age 18, a plan can be established by the individual himself if he is legally competent or by a variety of people including his parents if he is not. There are transition rules in this regard that will end in 2018.
An RDSP contains three elements. These are: Private Contributions, Canadian Disability Savings Grants and Canadian Disability Savings Bonds.
Private Contributions:
Once an RDSP has been established, anyone can contribute to the plan provided the plan holder has given written permission to that effect. These contributions are limited to a lifetime maximum of $200,000 but any amount, subject to that $200,000 limit, can be contributed annually. Spreading of large deposits over a number of years may be more advantageous as will be seen when looking at the Canadian Disability Savings Grants. When a private contribution is made, there is no income tax deduction for the contributor and these payments can only be made up until the end of the year in which the beneficiary turns age 59.
As of July 1, 2011, for deaths occurring after March 3, 2010, the Government will allow a rollover of a deceased individual's RRSP or RRIF proceeds and certain lump-sum amounts paid from a registered pension plan (RPP) to the RDSP of the deceased individual's financially dependent, infirm child or grandchild. However, these rollover amounts will not be part of the Canadian Disability Savings Grants calculations. (see below)
Also, as a result of the March 2013 Budget, investment income from an RESP can be rolled into an RDSP in some circumstances.
Canadian Disability Savings Grants:
A very significant component of the RDSP is the CDSG. The Federal Government will make contributions to an existing RDSP as Canadian Disability Savings Grants up to a lifetime maximum of $70,000. The amount of Grant in a particular year is based on the net income 2 years prior to the current year of the parents of the RDSP beneficiary until December 31st of the year in which he turns age 18 and on the individual's own income beginning January 1st of the year in which he turns age 19. If the net income is less than $89,401 (2015 values) and a private contribution of $1500 is made, then the first $300 will attract a CDSG of $1,500 and the next $1,000 will attract a CDSG of $2,000 for a total CDSG of $3,500. If the net income is over $89,401 then a contribution of $1,000 will attract a maximum of $1,000 of CDSG. This amount or any combination of grants will apply annually until the maximum lifetime grant of $70,000 is reached or until December 31st of the year in which the beneficiary reaches age 49.
Canadian Disability Savings Bonds:
In addition to the CDSG, the Federal Government has introduced the Canadian Disability Savings Bonds. The CDSB's are available to lower income families up to a lifetime maximum of $20,000. These funds are available up to $1,000 per year until the $20,000 maximum is reached or until the December 31st of the year in which the RDSP beneficiary reaches age 49. No Private Contribution is required to receive the $1,000 CDSB if the net income is below $26,021. This amount is reduced proportionately if the income is between $26,021 and $44,701. (2015 values) For most people in Ontario who receive ODSP benefits, a total annual contribution of $1,500 will result in an annual contribution from the Federal Government of $4,500 until a total of $90,000 of Grants and Bonds is reached.
In addition, people are allowed to carry forward unused Grant and Bond entitlements to future years. The carry forward period can only start from 2008 and is for a period of 10 years.
Payments From the RDSP:
The intended goal of the RDSP is to provide for the long term benefit of the person with the disability. As such, payments from the RDSP can be used for any purpose.
There are two types of payments that can be taken from an RDSP. The first type of payment is called the Disability Assistance Payment. The DAP is a periodic withdrawal from the RDSP at different points of time through out the life of the plan. These withdrawals can only be made if the Private Contributions made into the plan are greater than the Government Contributions. We expect that most people will only make the minimum contribution required to attract the maximum government grants and therefore, the DAP will not be possible. If a DAP from is withdrawn, significant penalties will be imposed. For every $1 removed from the plan, $3 of any CDSG or CDSB deposited by the Government in the last 10 years must be repaid to the Government. (Previously, ALL CDSGs or CDSBs had to be repaid…now only $3 for each $1 withdrawn has to be repaid) The amount of the payment is further limited by the need to insure that at least a Holdback amount remains in the plan.
The second type of payment from the plan is called the Lifetime Disability Assistance Payment or LDAP. This payment must begin no later than the year in which the beneficiary reaches age 60 and once these payments begin, they cannot stop. The size of the payment each year is determined by formula based on the life expectancy of the beneficiary of the RDSP. The Federal Government has determined that the standard life expectancy should be set at age 80 + 3 years. If a doctor will attest to the fact that a person's life expectancy is less than age 80 then the formulae can be adjusted in some cases. As an example of the amounts available from the RDSP, if the beneficiary of the plan begins the payments at age 60, then the size of the payment that year will be 1/23rd of the value of the fund or 10% of the total RDSP value, whichever is greater. If the beneficiary begins the payments at age 50, the size of the payment that year will be the greater of 1/33rd of the value of the fund or 10% of the total value of the RDSP for that year.
Taxation of Payments From a RDSP:
Each payment that is made from an RDSP is considered to be made up of three components as determined by a formula in the legislation that created the RDSP. The first component is Private Contributions and these come out of the RDSP on a non taxable basis. The second component is Canadian Disability Savings Grants and Canadian Disability Savings Bonds. Both of these components are taxable in the hands of the beneficiary of the RDSP. The final component is the income that has been earned within the RDSP. This income has not been taxed throughout the accumulation period and so is now taxable in the hands of the beneficiary of the RDSP.
Termination of Eligibility for the Disability Tax Credit:
Some people may have a disability that is cyclical in nature. If a person becomes ineligible for the DTC and there is a likelihood that they may be able to regain eligibility, the RDSP can remain open for a period of four years. Otherwise, it must be collapsed at the end of the four years.
Death of the Beneficiary:
When the beneficiary of the RDSP dies, several things occur. Firstly, there is a claw back of the CDSGs and CDSBs deposited by the Federal Government in the last 10 years. After that, taxes must be paid by the estate of the deceased beneficiary and then distributions can be made. These distributions are based on the will of the beneficiary assuming that he or she has the mental ability to created one and that one has been created. If no will has been created then the Provincial Estate Laws will be followed. These laws generally provide for a distribution to the disabled person's next of kin. If at all possible, the preferred basis of distribution of the balance of a Registered Disability Savings Plan is the will of the beneficiary of the plan.
Benefits of the Registered Disability Savings Plan:
The RDSP has a number of benefits to most people with disabilities in Ontario. To make use of the Federal Government's generous Grants and Bonds makes sense to most people and their situations. The accumulation of these funds along with the income that they earn in a tax deferred vehicle will enhance the size of the savings over the long term. The eventual withdrawal of funds from an RDSP will enhance the quality of life of the person with the disability and will not negatively impact on a person's eligibility for the Ontario Disability Support Program or other Government programs and services.

Let Us Remember, March 19th: St Joseph
March 19, 2013 Terence	Leave a comment
Saint Joseph is frequently presented as a model of fatherhood. For LGBT Catholics and other Christians however, he is also a powerful symbol of just how little the Holy Family resembled the model of "traditional" marriage and family to easily touted by those seeking to twist the clear evidence of scripture to force it into their own heteronormative model of family.
Rather, Christ's family was distinctly queer, as I have written previously for the Feast of the Holy Family:
This week, (that is, the week after Christmas) the Catholic Church celebrated the Feast of the Holy Family – so often an occasion of trial for those Catholics who are not living in officially approved families of Mom, Pop, kids, pets and picket fence. Subjected year after year to the same -old, same-old shallow sermons on the joys of family life, single people, the divorced, childless couples and queer Catholics can easily find that this Sunday is a very pointed reminder of how easily and thoughtlessly we can be excluded from the Church community. Most of the standard preaching on the Holy Family though is entirely misguided – the true nature of the Holy Family is very far from a celebration of the modern, but inappropriately named, "traditional family" .
Not a "Traditional Family" (Raphael)
Two items that came to me this week reminded me of this. My colleague Martin Pendergast sent me a link to the Holy Family reflection by Archbishop Vincent Nichols of Westminster, with the observation
We had a good Pastoral Letter from +Vincent Nichols for The Feast of the Holy Family – no 'family-values' ranting, thank God!
Martin is right. Although there are the usual references to children, there is no prescriptive definition of "family". It is perfectly possibly for those who need it, to read this statement as inclusive of families of all kinds. There is is also an important expansion of the concept of family, one that has important implications for the community of the church, and for those of us who for one reason or another feel on the margins of the church family:
The family of the Church, too, has a deep, human wisdom to share. It is intertwined with the stories of our families. St Paul describes so much of it in that second reading we have heard. Today we think about how to share and build our family wisdom. By doing this we strengthen the very foundations of our society. We need time together. We need to listen to each other's experience. We then come to appreciate the wisdom that is part of our family tradition, something to be passed on in love.
All the members of a family also need to practice respect for each other. Yes, we respect each other in our differences. We may rejoice in those differences. At the same time we strive to keep up a shared standard of behaviour.

The Star Witness Game is a printable card game I designed to help boost children's visual memory. Kids can also play this 2-4 person game to strengthen auditory memory, attention, and language skills.
Be aware, Building Visual Memory Skills with the Star Witness Game is much more advanced than your typical memory matching games for kids. If searching for very simple memory games for early learners, please start here.
The Star Witness Game is a fun way to build working memory as well. Students must hold a visual image of a particular cookie bandit in mind all while making decisions and taking action. Be careful! Drawing and discarding cards that don't fit the bandit's description can be VERY distracting, even for the grown-ups.
• Recommended for grades 2 and above.
• You may simplify the challenge for younger students.
• Makes a great tool for educational therapists, teachers and parents helping students improve memory.
You'll find Building Visual Memory Skills with the Star Witness Game now available in my TPT store. Click the link for a preview and more details.

Holly White: Fast Food & Feeling

Brands have a regular if somewhat secondary presence in the work of Holly White, where they provide the stage and set for the artist's highly personal, diaristic practice. However, including brands in her work doesn't come without its complications, White tells Emily Steer.
This feature originally appeared in Issue 27.
Do you see brands as a simple, unproblematic backdrop to life or do you find them a complicating presence?
It's difficult for me that these particular brands that can symbolize capitalism become so involved in my emotional experience. I'm interested and troubled by how, say, a jar of Sunpat peanut butter can come to mean something that's important to me. I'm also interested in reappropriating or reunderstanding the visual language that branded objects use. It's not just the Sunpat jar that I might be using, there is the sun image within that. I want to take that jar and rethink the sun that's on that logo.
I make work a lot about the last person or people on Earth after the apocalypse, and also the new beginnings and new communities that that might create. If we consider this Sunpat jar within a post-apocalyptic setting it doesn't lose its original language, because we do recognize and remember it, but, in the instance of my Green Flash project, it becomes reused because of its sun imagery rather than because it's a branded peanut butter. I'm interested in the ephemera of these brands, but reappropriate them with a new language so that they become something else in this scenario.
Do you have a nostalgia or connection with brands from when you were younger?
I would say that the nostalgia I explore is for a much more recent past, an almost-present. It's a nostalgia that I feel when I'm aware of a certain currentness, where it is so current that it's already slightly past. It's a nostalgia that's short term, I guess.
Was there a brand that sparked it for you?
I used to make a lot of work about McDonald's when I was a teenager. I was so actively against it, and used McDonald's as a symbol for capitalism or globalization. I was really into subverting adverts and culture-jamming. I wouldn't have admitted it, but I think I was also using McDonald's because I was actually very attracted to their imagery, I was really into the Americana of it all. Now I recognize things are more complex—that sometimes you can enjoy something and have it really caught up in your life but at the same time be really repulsed by it and be upset by it.
You also have lots of references to musicians like Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey. Do you see that as a brand relationship?
I think if I'm honest, with brands and pop stars the starting point is always a real love and fascination with them or their music. With these two women I often feel an emotional connection to them and their honesty and their stories. If I feel that one of Taylor Swift's songs describes my story then I might use it, because I feel she can say it better than I can. But again of course that is also conflicting because that industry and a lot of the things it may say are also very difficult for me.
There is an idea about corporations and brands being wrong, but we can't help but connect with them because they're all around us. They all just bleed into my work, in the same way that my friendships and romance might come in. While they're a backdrop to my life, I also like using the brands I do because they're really transparent in what they're doing. There is no pretence with McDonald's. It can just be an enemy in a very obvious way. I often feel more of a danger using imagery from companies where their systems and how they tie into these systems of oppression are much more hidden. I think I quite like using Pret a Manger because it is—in the same way as McDonald's—a very straightforward presentation: the choices they offer up are quite easy in how they present themselves. It becomes a McDonald's version of a French café and I'm comforted by the transparency of its falsity.
That's why those companies can become these strong structures through which to tell a story or stories; narratives can be tied together with this consistent foundation. It's interesting actually thinking about using brands in this way, as people usually ask me about personal branding in relation to the way I work. Although I don't see it as such a conscious connection between the two, I think they might both be combined in a wider exploration of branding. For example, there are certain ways that I work, and that brands work, which means that I could incorporate Roses sweet wrappers into the work but then also incorporate a repeated motif of the sun, an invented brand. It explores the language of branding, which isn't just about exploring existing branding, but creating new brands.
Your work has a collective feel.
Yes, I think I do use a familiar language which connects me to a particular online community, and my friends and community are really influential, online and offline. But in the instance of my website I don't really approach it in that way. Obviously I use a specific language and approach to web design but, for example, also I just love dolphins. I went to a beach in India and saw dolphins in the morning and I really fell in love with them. I think they're really nurturing and beautiful, and that's why I like to use gifs of them a lot. But yes, as we've talked about, those images also simultaneously have an existing meaning, they could be seen as a symbol of a certain interaction with nature, or a particular nineties vision of utopia.

5 Questions with Karim Noureldin


The average duration of a menstrual cycle is 28 days. On average, women and girls menstruate for 5 days per month. Hence 28-5, or the 28th of May.
Is there really a need for a Menstrual Hygiene (MH) Day?
Yes. Menstruation and menstrual hygiene continue to be met with silence and neglect all around the world. At this stage, this issue really needs the spotlight of a dedicated day to break the silence and accelerate action.
Who came up with the idea for MH Day and how did it start?
WASH United came up with the idea for a global day of action for MHM in May 2013. A campaign in India in late 2012 convinced us of the urgent need for concerted advocacy on MHM. In May 2013, we carried out a 28-day campaign on social media to test the waters and see if other organisations were interested in this issue, too. The extremely positive feedback from organisations around the world prompted the idea to create a global day of action that would allow actors working on MHM around the world to bundle their voices.
Who is behind Menstrual Hygiene Day?
Can I celebrate MH Day even if my organisation is not a MH Day partner?
Yes, anyone can celebrate MH Day, anywhere! Except for for-profits, anyone can use MH Day materials for free. Becoming a MH Day partner is for free, too. Just send an email with your logo, your wish to become a partner and relevant contact information to info@menstrualhygieneday.org.
What happens on and around MH Day on May 28th?
Hundreds of events and activities are organized by MH Day partners and other organisations around the world, ranging from educational sessions in schools, community rallies and concerts to raise awareness, advocacy events with governments to increase the political priority of the issue, product donations and many more.
What happens beyond May 28th?
Post MH Day 2018, MH Day will move towards ongoing advocacy all year round. While MH Day will continue to be the annual "peak" event, we will complement it with ongoing communications and several smaller campaigns throughout the year to achieve increased attention for menstrual hygiene all year round.
Why do you use the term menstrual hygiene and not menstrual health?
The term Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) focuses on what women and girls need to manage their periods safely, hygienically, with confidence and without shame. MHM has been defined by the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (JMP).
Menstrual health is often understood as a broader term that also includes wider menstruation-related health issues, such as endometriosis or peri-menopause. However, at present there is no broadly accepted definition of menstrual health.
Menstrual Hygiene Day focuses on the narrower issue of menstrual hygiene. If partners want to use the occasion of Menstrual Hygiene Day to advocate for menstrual equity, for wider menstrual health issues or against period poverty, that is completely fine. What we expect from everyone, though, is to respect the name of the day, which is Menstrual Hygiene Day. Not doing so is confusing, especially for the media and other multipliers, and hence undermines our joint overall efforts to turn menstruation into a normal fact of life.
Why do you only refer to women and girls and not to people who menstruate or menstruators?
We completely recognise and empathise with the challenges faced by people who don't identify as women but still menstruate, and we applaud the organisations and activists focusing on this issue.
The focus of Menstrual Hygiene Day is on maximising progress for the vast majority of the people who menstruate, which are women and girls. In many countries, we are just now making the first baby steps towards normalising the menstruation of women and girls. In our view, we haven't made nearly enough progress for MH Day as a global initiative to take on the potentially even bigger taboo of other people who menstruate.
MH Day partners are, of course, free to use other language and advocate for everyone who menstruates.
How is MH Day funded? Does MH Day need additional financial support?
MH Day receives financial support from government agencies, foundations, corporate partners and individual donors. Funding for menstrual hygiene advocacy is still very limited, and we are always looking for additional support to enable us to sustain and further increase the impact of MH Day.

A Stylish Austin Vietnamese Restaurant is Expanding To New Orleans
by kelseyn
Vietnamese lovers rejoice! A new, stylish spot is opening up a second location in the Saint Vincent Hotel along Magazine Street. The Austin-based restaurant, Elizabeth Street Cafe, has 12 restaurants in the city of Austin itself, and one in Aspen, Colorado.
The cafe's menu sees Viatnamese classics such as bánh mi, various versions of pho, rice vermicelli bowls, and other speciality dishes. In their other locations, they are open for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, but nothing has been confirmed for New Orleans yet. View Elizabeth Street Cafe's menus for other locations here.
The Saint Vincent Hotel is a new venture that will be a re-development of the former St. Vincent Guest House in the Lower Garden District. Both are expected to open in Fall 2020.

1986 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16: The Search is Over!
By Philip Richter on November 6, 2016 in Cars, Collections, History
On Tuesday I got a message from Dean Laumbach. He sent me an email and the subject line stated: "Wow. Nicest 16V I have seen. Low mileage… " The body of the email said, "Other than chrome wheels this car looks perfect." These strong words caught me by surprise because Dean is highly selective and it takes a lot to get him excited about a car. We had been searching for over two years for an investment grade Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16. We had seen dozens of cars but everything was overpriced and had well over 100,000 miles on the clock. None were properly maintained. Problems ranged from faded interiors to shoddy paintwork and in some cases even rust.
Dean is decisive and does not waste time. He immediatley jumped on this once in a lifetime opportunity. The car in question was a one-owner investment-grade car that had only 28,000 original miles. Thanks to Dean's proactive approach and excellent negotiating skills we had a deal by 11am. I wired funds immediately hoping the seller would not change his mind! In the sport of car collecting it sure pays to hold out and be selective. Like in my day job of investing capital for our clients, its often best to wait for the fat pitch. The Chairman of my firm, Wayne Nordberg, is famous for saying "the market always gives you an opportunity."
For a modern classic, the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 is actually a fairly rare car. More than its rarity, I simply love the design, history, and aesthetic of the car. I have coveted the 2.3-16 ever since its U.S. introduction in late 1985. The prior owner of my 1994 E500 also owned a 1986 2.3-16. When I was in college I had the opportunity to drive his car several times. Its high-revving motor and muscular bodywork made it a head turner. Like the BMW E30 M3, the 2.3-16 was a homologation car. The 2.3-16 is no powerhouse but its really fun to drive because it has a perfect power-to-weight ratio. Unusual for a Mercedes, it has an awesome 5-speed Getrag gearbox. The firm Recaro seats are comfortable and supportive. The 2.3-16V only came in two colors, Blue Black metallic and Smoke Silver. Its just a great package.
The history behind these cars is long and complex and will be the subject of a future blog post. It has a race history and competed in the DTM series against the BMW E30. The motor is a small four-cylinder but was loaded with formidable technology (for the period). The engine was developed and manufactured in concert with Cosworth in England. An excellent timeline of the 2.3-16 story can be read here.
The particular car I just acquired had been purchased new in Missouri. It's Blue Black and has the 5-speed. The first and only owner was a fanatical collector and he used the car sparingly. Ultimately his estate was liquidated and the 190E was sold. The executor was not a car guy and did not understand the difference between a plebeian 190E 2.3 and a desirable and valuable 2.3-16. The car went to market as a "plain Jane" 190E. An educated buyer named Kevin was in the right place at the right time and picked it up. Kevin is in the collector car business and wanted the car to go into the right hands. With Dean's help we consummated a fair deal for all. I am grateful to both Dean and Kevin for helping make my 2.3-16V dream car a reality. My collection is now finally complete!
A history of the Turtle Garage 190E 2.3-16:
By Kevin Nelson
The car was originally purchased by John Greenwood from Boulevard Motors in St. Louis, MO.Boulevard became Tri-Star Mercedes when it moved 20 miles west to Ellisville, MO. A few years ago Tri-Star moved back to the St. Louis City and became St. Louis Mercedes. Mr. Greenwood owned the car until his passing in 2016, at which point his estate was sold off by CNB Bank per his wishes. He was an avid collector of Mercedes vehicles and his collection included models from the 60's forward. His home was in the historic river town of Alton, IL. Built on top of the hill so as to have a panoramic view of the river. The garage was actually the original carriage house and stables. He converted each stall into a garage space for each car, preserving them when not being enjoyed. Upon his passing several cars where appraised and sold, many to friends and family. The 190E-16 was brought to Plaza Mercedes for an evaluation before sale. My childhood friend is a Mercedes Technician and told me of the car, knowing that I have a passion for rare and odd collector cars. I instantly contacted the service advisor and was granted permission to view the car at the dealership. Upon seeing the car I was amazed at how clean and original the car was! I bribed the advisor to call the banker and give her my number. When the bank called they told me that a nephew was interesting in the car and I could make an offer. They received several offers on the car that week, but I am happy to say that my "very high offer" was taken. As it turns out, no one had heard of a Cosworth and the appraisal didn't reflect the change in value over a normal 190E. I picked the car up at the bank that weekend, while filling out the paperwork, the banker asked me why I "would pay so much for the car"? I told her it was perfect and I wanted it for my collection, to which she replied "A young man on our staff wants to drive it, if you will let him. He said that a Cosworth was on his bucket list!" I looked at her with my best poker face and said "maybe, have him call me" She then asked "what is a Cosworth? Needless to say, I smiled and left quickly. Upon my first drive I noted a few things that my friend had told me to have addressed. I took it directly to the Mercedes dealership and had them perform any recommended repairs, and told them to only use actual Mercedes parts! A full fluid change was also done off the books as a favor to me. After the servicing was finished I took the car home, detailed it, and parked it next to the 190SL I came home from the hospital in when I was born. After months of blissful ownership I realized I enjoyed the idea of owning the Cosworth more than I did driving it. Much like my 930 Turbos the cars have grown to a value that makes me nervous to drive them. They are only original once, and the idea of a chip or scuff made me cringe! After talking with you and Dean, I knew I had found the perfect caretaker for her! Please enjoy and preserve her to the best of your ability! It will look awesome in your collection!

The 16V arriving at Dean's shop in New Jersey. Dean was blown away by the quality of the car. Its a true original survivor with only 28,000 one fanatical owner miles!

I thought i had a clean one )
This car is in amazing shape! However there are a couple of down sides when it comes to US version.
1. Climate control vs manual knobs
2. 9.7 compression vs 10.5
3. And that wood )
I brought my car from Japan in 2015 because of absolute absence of decent examples state side, you got very VERY lucky!
My car is clocking 33k miles and already has over 10k in parts and maintenance. And the paradox is that i don't even have tome to drive it.
Too bad you can not add pictures here.

I got real lucky too. Found a Euro 2.5-16v here Stateside last year. Two owner stock car with full records going back to year of purchase. Beautiful condition, less than 65,000 miles. Sits proudly in my garage. I know what mean when you say 'their time has come'. People are starting to realize the importance of these cars and the values of ones in good condition are starting to climb…and fast.
Philip Richter February 14, 2017 at 5:42 pm #
These cars are very under appreciated in the market. E30 M3'a have taken off and these cars don't have the same following–yet. Mine looks really good in the garage sitting next to the E30 M3. If you dig into the race history its so interesting. Senna winning that fateful race on the Nurburgring. The E30 M3 actually exists because of the 2.3-16. I think in ten years low-mile investment grade cars like yours are highly desireable.

As then-editor of The Star, the magazine of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America, I was happy to attend the world press intro of the 190E 2.3-16 in Germany. At the time, MBNA was importing 80% diesels to the US, so such a high-performance model was a bright ray of sunshine! I recall driving the cars with race-drivers' names around Hockenheim, and being cautioned by the factory guys to take it easy. We did, for one or two laps, then we had great fun until one luckless driver (a factory employee) stuffed one of the cars into a guardrail. They are wonderful cars. Only exceeded by the 190E 2.5-16 Evo models; a Colorado friend owns one, and we featured it in the magazine in about 2006.
Philip Richter December 21, 2016 at 4:45 pm #
Editor of the Star! Now that is quite a resume asset, especially here at the Turtle Garage! The 190E 16V is a modern classic and its time has come! This car caught my eye back in 1985. I was 15 and saw it on the pages of Car and Driver. Then I saw it at the Auto Show in NYC. Most people drove the wheels off these cars. Less than 2000 were sent to the USA. How many are left with under 30,000 miles in pristine condition? The 190E 16V belongs among the 6.9's and 500E's of the modern era. The Cosworth history just adds more intrigue. The car arrives to my garage tomorrow and I can't wait, just in time for Christmas!
Lorenzo November 23, 2016 at 11:18 am #
my dad had a 190E stick, silver, and he let me borrow it frequently when i was in College in Boston, it was peppy and fun to drive…with a super and infinite third gear, I did many a late night rocket trip Boston-NY with it, but I lusted over the 16 valve which an Italian friend of mine had in Boston.
Philip Richter November 24, 2016 at 9:05 pm #
The 190E 2.3 16V is an iconic car. Its time has finally come. What a great story! I can only imagine New York to Boston runs in a 16V! Most of them were used up and driven hard. Very few are left in museum condition. We got really lucky here.
Ken November 9, 2016 at 11:42 am #
Wow! Great car Philip! I can't wait to see this thing in person.
Philip Richter November 16, 2016 at 11:10 pm #
It is literally a needle in a haystack find. Dean is amazing! It's a 30 year old original new car!!!
Arthur Einstein November 6, 2016 at 1:19 pm #
This may be the one I saw recently on Bring a Trailer. But maybe not. Don't recall the SENNA decal on the door. I do like the size of this thing. Have fun with it.
Philip Richter November 6, 2016 at 4:23 pm #
This example was not on BAT. It was in a private collection. The car is Blue Black metallic. They only came in two colors. The photos I used are not of my exact car, except the photo of the rear of the car. The Senna car was actually raced by him in 1984 on the Nurburgring. It was a who's who of racers including Lauda, Surtees, Moss and others. Senna won. Its part of what makes these cars have history. The one we found is a unicorn! So excited!

Q: python subprocess read stdout as it executes one of my function in the program checks the md5sum of hashfile
def check():
    print "checking integrity status.."
    md5 = subprocess.Popen(["md5sum", "-c", hashfile],shell=False, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
    #fopen = open(basefile, "r")
    for f in md5.stdout.readlines():
        fc = f.rstrip("\n")
        sys.stdout.write("\rChecking..." + fc)
        sys.stdout.flush()

now what happens is that the whole command is first executed and then for loop reads from md5 using md5.stdout.readlines, as such it is not dynamic i.e. i dont get the output as the command is executed....is there a way i can get the output while the command is in execution...
fixed using glglgl's answer:
def check():
    print "checking integrity status.."
    md5 = subprocess.Popen(["md5sum", "-c", hashfile],shell=False, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
    #fopen = open(basefile, "r")
    fc = "NULL"
    i = 0
    for f in iter(md5.stdout.readline, ''):
        k = fc
        fc = f.rstrip("\n")
        if "FAILED" in fc:
            print fc
        i = i + 1
        sys.stdout.write("\rChecking... "+ str(i)+ " " + fc + (' ' * (len(k) - len(fc))) )
        sys.stdout.flush()

A: Of course. There are several ways.

*

*First, you could work with md5.stdout.read(), but there you would have to do line separation by yourself.

*Then, you could operate with the file object md5.stdout as iterator. But there seems to be an issue with buffering, i. e. you don't get the results immediately.

*And then there is a possibility to call md5.stdout.readline() repeatedly until it returns ''.
The third way is to be preferred in this case; I would suggest it to do like this:
...
for f in iter(md5.stdout.readline, ''):
    fc = f.rstrip("\n")
    sys.stdout.write("\rChecked " + fc)
    sys.stdout.flush()

I have also changed the output text, as there is only an output if che check is done already.
If that is not what you want, but rather really haveing every output captured separately, you should switch to point 1. But that makes it more complicated. I will think about a solution on indication that it is wanted.
There, one must consider the following points:

*

*read() blocks, so one should read byte for byte (quite ugly).

*There is the question what should be output and when should there be a intermitting output.

A: The original poster is correct that hashlib is not available in Python 2.4, however, the md5 library is available. Example workaround:
try:
        # Python 2.5 and up.
        import hashlib
        md5Hash = hashlib.md5

except ImportError:
        # Python 2.4 and below.
        import md5
        md5Hash = md5.new

somedata = 'foobar'
hashstring = md5Hash (somedata).hexdigest ()

A: What is the file size?
Popen creates a new child process to run the command. Maybe it finishes before you run the for loop.
You can check if the "subprocess" has finished looking returncode attribute (in your code: md5.returncode)

Reuters reports U.S. blocks North Korean air traffic revival ahead of Trump-Kim summit
Reuters reported that the United States has blocked efforts by a United Nations (U.N.) agency to improve civil aviation in North Korea, part of a negotiating tactic to maintain sanctions pressure on Pyongyang ahead of a second summit between President Donald Trump and leader Kim Jong Un in Vietnam. The U.N. civil aviation agency has been working with North Korea to open a new air route that would pass through North and South Korean airspace. International airlines could save fuel and time on some routes between Asia, Europe and North America, while North Korea could begin reviving its own commercial aviation industry.
