There appeared on this blog last week a post regarding a library cataloguer who was not threatened or defeated by a work with an enormous and meandering title. The good librarian got right to it, recorded the deed, and moved on. Today's installment of card catalog magic presents a Library of Congress librarian who decided that enough-was-enough, and that there was simply too-much-title to record, and so simply left the rest of it to dots and to the imagination.
The author of this 1938 pamphlet simply started to write on the cover and continued through the rest of the work, and ended on the back cover. There was no title page, no chapter headings, just a collection of ideas with lots of lists and seemingly nowhere to go. For a short work (36 pages) the author could've dedicated another quire to some blank space, which really doesn't exist in the pamphlet but which is surprisingly helpful even if the message you are trying to deliver is somewhat, well, outre. There is a lot of very compressed talk about multi-dimensional spirit and conscience and bank deposits and replacing the dollar and tax collection with "circulation of values", and so on, deep into itself and a closed system of interpretation of the existence of the universe, harmony of spirit, and economic interpretations of "radio bulbs" and the (often misspelled) fourtth [sic] dimension. The writing is exhausting and enumerated, and even though by its colossal subject matter and the complex brevity it should be a reliably porous document, it is fairly rigid and brittle. It is a visionary work that somehow worked its way into print, and I'm happy for that, and even it is impossible to keep up with its runaway logic it is still a good ride.
Early on in the history of printed books there was a practice of extended title pages, where there would be the title, and then "support literature" further explaining the title to sometimes some great detail, occasionally winging its way into a title 200 words long. But that was pretty much before the 18th century and mostly before the 17th and mostly a not-common practice. The gigantic title in the 20th century seems to be mostly relegated to the less-traveled-road variety of public thinking.
It's easy to imagine a cataloger at the end of the day picking up that pamphlet thinking 'I'll do one more.' I can feel the deflation as it sinks in what is in hand. The interior battle to be professional about an unprofessional thing begins. I would have banged my head on the typewriter keys and turned in the catalog card that way. What would the more professional librarian have done -- faithfully typed the entire thing or typed a fraction sufficient to recognize the work (of someone never to be read ... until now).
I'm pretty sure that I woulsn't've gotten that far...maybe the pamphlet owul dhave gone to a continuous-bottom-of-the-pile, forever to be done.


Words At War, the series that brings you radio versions of the leading war books brings today the story of Etta Shiber and her exploits in the French Underground in Paris during 1941 – 1942. Today's broadcast is from her book, "Paris Underground.
Ms. Shiber's helped British pilots trapped behind enemy lines escape from the Nazi occupiers.
Ms Shiber and her colleague were captured by the Germans after their underground operation helping British pilots was discovered by the Germans. In May 1942, Ms Shiber was freed in a prisoner swap with the United States in exchange for Johanna Hofmann, a German who had been convicted of spying in the U.S.


Unsolved mystery: What are those weird bumps on the heads of humpback whales?
It may seem strange to you, but baleen whales are actually covered in hair. Not a thick layer of fur like your family cat, but a smattering of around 100 fragile hairs dotted along their jawline. In most species, you can barely see these hairs with the naked eye. But on the humpback whale, you can't miss 'em.

Those distinctive bumps covering the heads of humpback whales are actually oversized hair follicles.
About the size of your fist, these 'tubercles' form a kind of ringed fortress, protecting the hair inside. Within each tubercle is a bundle of thick nerve cells connected to the hair, which sticks out a few centimeters from the middle of the mound like a lonely flag. So what do humpbacks and other whales use their highly enervated and sensitive facial whiskers for? It's one of the best-kept secrets in the scientific world. And the secret is this: scientists don't really have a clue.
"People have the impression that the science was worked out long ago," says Eduardo Mercado III, a psychologist at the University at Buffalo, SUNY.
But that's simply not the case.
Mercado studies humpback whale sensory systems, and recently published an article in Aquatic Mammals journal on the science of whale hair. In his review of the scientific literature, Mercado shows that whale hairs are clearly designed to pick up subtle vibrations in the water. "But what in the system is vibrating and what might cause it to vibrate are not clear," he argues.
The hypothesis that most people accept is that whales use the hairs to detect the density of prey species they swim through when feeding, sort of like 'whale whiskers' that provide the whale with a crude estimate of the number of fish swimming past its face. But this widely accepted hypothesis is, according to Mercado, "a non-starter, despite its wide intuitive appeal". Nobody has provided a plausible explanation of how the hairs do this, nor why they'd need to be so sensitive.
Radically differing hypotheses as to the function of whale whiskers are peppered throughout the scientific literature. Some scientists speculate that whale hair is capable of detecting low-frequency sound. Others guess it detects electromagnetic fields, like the hairs that have recently been found on dolphin faces. Still others think it picks up subtle changes in water movement, allowing humpbacks and other whales to execute dizzying underwater acrobatic displays in pursuit of their prey. It was even once assumed that the hair served no purposes at all, and was just a leftover evolutionary trait from when the land-based ancestors of whales needed hair to protect themselves from the cold.
The reality is that whale hair – and humpback tubercles in particular – has received very little attention by scientists. This is partly because of the difficulty in obtaining samples of whale facial hair – a knock-on effect of the welcome global moratorium on whaling (but one that's also unfortunate for whale-hair anatomists).
Mercado's study, one of just a handful from recent years, has helped shed some light on the function of whale hair. Despite rather substantial differences in the number and placement of humpback tubercles (ranging between 30 and 60 depending on the individual), Mercado found that tubercles form patterns around the head of the whale. They cluster into distinct groups, resulting in symmetrical rows across the whale's head and jaw. Their non-haphazard placement – creating a kind of sensory array – would allow the whale's head to detect and localise movement or vibration in the water column. But Mercado is quick to point out that scientists still have no idea what kind of movement or vibrations this intricate array of head-hair is supposed to be detecting.
Aside from the unsolved riddle of whale whiskers, there is the added question of why humpback whales evolved giant tubercles surrounding their hair. No other species has tubercles, and there is no explanation whatsoever as to what they are all about. "My assumption is that the large bump somehow enhances the sensitivity or resolution of sensation in humpbacks relative to other large whales," suggests Mercado.
But the true function of tubercles, just like the sensitive whale-hairs they protect, remains a total mystery.
Drone photography addict Justin Edwards captured this beautiful footage of a humpback mother and calf duo off the coast of Hawaii.

Figuring Out L.A. Nightlife in the COVID-19 Era
On June 15, California reopened and Los Angeles bars and clubs were able to resume business without most of the pandemic-related restrictions that had forced so many to go dark for over a year. Two days later, I returned to The Lash, the venue downtown where I was a resident prior to COVID-19, for my fist gig there since March of 2020. There was no theme on this Thursday night; I played a little of everything, including a lot of songs that would have heated up the dance floor in 2020 – if dance floors were a thing that year. Dua Lipa, Cardi B, Jessie Ware, Roísín Murphy and three tracks from Kylie Minogue's latest album, Disco, all made it into the set. I couldn't remember the last time I saw people dance that hard. We were making up for lost time.
Los Angeles was lit for those first few weeks after the city's grand reopening. I went to Footsie's for my friend Rose Know's postpunk party, Death Disco. The bar was slammed and the patio was buzzing with people I hadn't seen in months. We played catch-up, like it was the first day back at school after a summer break that lasted far too long. I snapped a selfie with Rose as she played Soft Cell, Marc Almond singing, "I collect, I reject, memorabilia" while I fussed with the angle of the phone. A week later, I stopped by The Lash for my friend Don French's Sophie tribute night, the IRL version of a Twitch event they held when we were still stuck at home. The crowd launched into a dance floor sing-a-long before midnight.
A few weeks later, on a phone call, Don recalled the elation inside the parties following the reopening. "I feel like I had never really experienced that prior to COVID, where everyone is genuinely happy to be in a space with music playing and you're dancing," they said.
Of course, this would change quickly. That's just how life in this city, maybe this country, seems to operate during the COVID-19 era.
The Delta variant hit Los Angeles and new cases rose. L.A. decided to reinstate the indoor mask rules for everyone, vaccinated or not, about a month after the reopening. The rule went into effect right around the time I was mixing a 20-year-old Jamiroquai song into The Reflex Revision of Roísín Murphy's jam, "Narcissus." In the days that followed, many bars and clubs across the city independently announced that they were enacting a new policy: proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID-19 test were required for entry.
You could say that these are nothing more than temporary nuisances that will help us party safely and I agree with that. DJing while masked is uncomfortably hot, sweaty and annoying, yet I've done it. Plus, I don't care if anyone wants to see proof of the two Moderna jabs I got specifically so that I could enter spaces filled with other humans without feeling an overwhelming sense of dread. At the same time, though, the constant influx of bad COVID-19 news on our timelines has been demoralizing in a city that, just a few months ago, seemed to be heading towards brighter days.
At a Friday gig in late July, something about the vibe felt weird. Rose had a similar experience at her gig on the same night. "The people that do come feel a little hesitant to be there, but are still coming out," she told me when we talked on the phone. "It's just a strange contrast to how it felt, initially, when the bars had opened again." At my gig, people seemed nervous, like we were all trying to have fun, while also waiting to see what new hell was in store for L.A.
After a year and a half of social distancing, we're reintroducing ourselves to IRL society and that hasn't been the easiest thing to do. Those who have started going out again are relearning social cues, figuring out the rules of etiquette for a world that's not the same as it was in March of 2020.
Back in June and early July, going out was cathartic. "People were coming out because they wanted to feel alive and feel connections with other human beings and warm bodies, be around other people," Rose said on our phone call. "It's so important, as a human race, to have that, and we were stripped of that for so long."
She adds that, maybe, this time apart has "stripped us of some of the humanity we need to move forward."
I was thinking about what Rose had said on our call while I was DJing on a Friday in early August. The crowd was light, but the people who were there seemed to really appreciate the night out. There were some great requests. People came up to me to say thanks for the music, something that's been happening more often now than before the pandemic. Sometimes, I think that the weirdest thing about returning to the clubs is how nice people have been. After watching shitshows unfold daily on social media for far too long, I didn't know what to expect. Generally speaking, though, I've seen friendly, albeit sometimes awkward, interactions. All that has reminded me of how important it is for us to be able to gather together in person, whether it's because of music or some other shared interest, and how important it is that we still have spaces where we can do this.

@Jessie15 I don't know, for me, she's not in love with Bridal Mask. She herself might be confusing what she feels as just that because she probably doesn't really know what being in love is. It comes across to me as idolization and hero worship(and really it makes sense, what girl wouldn't fantasize about a guy that keeps saving her? ). You can't be in love with someone if you don't know them. She doesn't know the man under the mask at all. She knows the boy from 13 years ago, she doesn't know the man he is today. Her falling for Kang To is another story and I think once that happens, she will really know what being in love is. Because she has seen the bad Kang To already, now she will start seeing more and more of his good side - knowing and accepting both sides to him, that is being in love with someone to me. And I am definitely one of those people that would like to see her develop some feelings for Kang To himself before she finds out he's Bridal Mask/Young Master.
@aikawaringo I think its possible. When all is said and done, she will be able to forgive him for what he's done. I actually think Kang To will be the one that won't be able to forgive himself moreso than her. Maybe I've seen too many other shows where the couples have this very type of set up and the writers make it work. LOL. On TV shows, nothing is impossible for me. To me, Mok Dan is the key for Kang To to heal and live any kind of a life after this is all over.
@cravey heeee Never say never, that's what I say.
Shooting all day and night for 13th and 14th episodes. Doing actions and competes in practice of course. Drama will also be funny ^^ Expecting a lot of good things.
@Secretlyforyou i totally agree with your comment about MD falling for KT. Writers turned bad KT to good KT, good Shunji to bad Shunji when we all thing how is it possible. So they got to show us MD falling for KT.
Also isn't KT the main character here and doesn't the main character gets the girl in the story??? After all it is a drama!
@cravey as a fellow Delena shipper I understand what you mean about pairs in impossible situations and ships that don't seem like they can work. Lets keep the faith that the writer will deliver and that this show's otp will take off!
@secretlyforyou I agree 100%. Fantasizing about a man in a mask is not love. It might be a girlish crush or infatuation. To truly love someone you have to know them, flaws and all. That's love. Its ironic isn't it that its now Kang To under the mask and not Kang San...and yet she cannot tell the difference? I think she would have paid more attention if this was more than just a crush. Right now he is someone she dreams about and has an idealistic view of. Kang To, with his flaws and her issues with him, is still a real guy standing in front of her. I too cannot wait to see their interaction and I agree that I'd love if she started feeling for him before it became a Mok Dan/Gaksital thing. I think a big gesture is needed here. Kang To needs to do something that changes the way she views him quite drastically. Next week might provide that.
I think it is realistic to have a man slowly become a hero as opposed to there being an overnight change. Most superhero stories are shown in movies where within the space of an hour and a half, the hero's journey is told. With 24 (now maybe 28) episodes to tell this story it makes sense not to rush it. Kang To had his first big eureka moment when he discovered that Mok Dan was his beloved Boon Yi and then when he lost his brother and mother it devastated him and catapulted him to the point he is at now. His journey is not over and that's what makes this so interesting. He is still en route to becoming the hero...Gaksital proper. He's still finding his way. He's wearing the mask but he has more to learn. He's chosen the right path now and that is what has all of us cheering.I also find it really interesting that his skipping in the forest was due to his decision to help Damsari and not just because of Mok Dan. He's happy that he's doing the right thing. This is yet another step in the right direction. He's beginning to feel it, as opposed to just doing it (like when he avenges his family by killing Kenji). He will become the kind of man that Mok Dan can be proud of and one who she will love. Its like they are both the right people for each other but the timing wasn't right before. We are getting there though.
As for his past deeds, I think its important to consider the Context. When he tortured her he was an officer under the regime who had chosen to serve the regime to put food on the table for him family. Like it or not it was part of his job to interrogate people. He is very ashamed about this now and we see how he is unable to continue doing it. Having to whip her in the torture room seemed to kill him on the inside. Another thing to remember is the time. This is set in the 1930s where the Josean people were under the Japanese regime so seeing violence like this was more commonplace. I do not condone it, I'm simply saying that in this context it was almost a way of life for them to be dodging bullets and sessions in the torture chamber. If this happened today it would be considered horrific. Look back at the dramas set in the Josean era or before. A man who did something treacherous would be put to death. Even his family was put to death as part of his punishment. A woman dressing up as a man and being educated (hello Sungkyunkwan Scandal) was considered a huge scandal and a punishable offense. CONTEXT matters. It really does.
EDIT: @y101y I love your comment because it just added some levity to all this. The way this is set up, technically he should get the girl. KDramaland rules dictate it!
You so rightly pointed out how the characters have switched places. Just like people are so horrified at Shunji's reactions, I wish more people would cheer about Kang To's choice to be a better man.
@princess_narnia exactly, if one can forgive killing one's brother (thank God for eternity rings...or not - RIP Alaric ), then one can forgive slaps and whips.
@cravey haha, so true. The context in which so many of those things happened really matters. He's a different man now. And even though he shot at her in ep 5, was it? He didn't know it was her at the time. His horror at what he had done was so evident. He's trying and he's working his way towards being someone worthy of her. I just want Mok Dan to have an eye opener and realize that Kang To isn't the same guy anymore.
i'm on team Kangto-Mok Dan, ALL THE WAAAYY.
mok dan with gaksital still feels awkward to me. it's like she's in love with a ghost--nothing's real about it. her affections were technically first for hyung (heh) anyways, so whenever she's ogling gaksital, i get a little :-/.
same goes for the young master-boonyi love. that was your life of OLD, kangto and mok dan. let's move on, k.
Ahh the knife. It's the sole identity of Lee Kang To (and Bridal Mask) . An impressive tease from the writer when the knife was not in mokdan's hands when she was in the prison cell with Rie.
I'll just mention the most wonderful scene from these two episodes - the hug. When MokDan hugged him, I was all "YOU GO GIRL!" That was such a tender beautiful hug.
It's going to take a lot more than a bunch of MD with goofy KT scenes for her to like him. He shot her, tortured her, and tried to take a commemorative photo of capturing her father. It has to be something radical that would prove her that he's changed. Even under "conext", he CHOSE the imperial empire as his way to support his family. Would you call it desperation? Possibly. But even his family, under NO circumstance, would have chosen his route, nor did the mother ever accept or condone it. I'm sorry for all you people who want MD to slowly fall in love with KT as KT, but her memories of old dark KT does NOT offset goofy heartwarming KT. Sure, I can root for for what everyone else wants, but I'm trying to be realistic about it as well.
I've been a silent reader for awhile now and I have to come out to say that this drama is A-MAZING! This drama has got to be my favorite drama of ALL TIME! I'm really surprised that there are not more pages on this thread (compared to other dramas that are not doing so well ratings wise). I guess this is what they call "star power"... but in any case, keep up the great work, Drama! I love youuuuuu~~! Totally a Joo Won shipper now!
Poor them... Especially Joo Won trying really hard not to fall asleep.

Earlier it was Kang San under that mask and Mok Dan had this dreamy view of this masked man. It hasn't changed even though its now the original Gaksital's younger brother under that mask. So she is in love with this image or idea of this hero. No doubt he's a freedom fighter/vigilante, but she doesnt' know him.Thank you for mentioning Boon Yi and Kang To back when he was her young master. So true. Right now Mok Dan thinks of him as this perfect guy but she's in love with a memory of him. She needs to love a guy in the present and if its her young master then she needs to love him as he is now for it to be the real thing. I'm so with you on this.
@mizztic right at the start I used to wonder if he would redeem himself. At the moment even I'm wondering how. He's a tragic character in that I feel if he continues down this road it will just get worse and the only way he can redeem himself is if he does something at the end to save Kang To or Mok Dan. If he realizes what he's doing is horrible he might even get a chance to redeem himself without having to die, but it all depends on how far he goes. As it is, his violence towards people is scarier than Kang To prior to his turnaround. Kenji was always a rougher, more cruel guy and it was evident even in the way he treated the old nanny who looked after them. Shunji was sweet with her and we see from the flashbacks that Shunji seemed genuinely good to Kang To. He was kind to him when Kenji and the other boys in that club were beating him up. So it will be interesting to see if Shunji can retain his humanity or if he realizes what he's doing. His confession to Kanto about being scared that he was turning into a monster is very telling. He KNOWs its happening. It must be scary...but he's also losing control.Oh and I remembered that Shunji, like his father Kimura Taro, has joined that secret group. The head of that group is merciless. If they fail their missions, its certain death it seems.
I love that graphic you made. That market place scene was a nice moment. He must have felt that lightness in his heart when he realized what he had done for these people. The boy he gave the bills of sale to was the same guy who had called him a dog and hurt his brother, isn't it? It says a lot about Kang To's change of attitude if he can turn around and start helping people who clearly had it out for him. Even now, without the mask on they will scorn him. But he's still going ahead and doing what he can for them. He's slowly learning to help his people.
@stoffkimba I hope so too because I'd hate to think that they'd jump to live shoots for the next lot of episodes. They have so much left to film the schedule would be crazy for the cast. Not to mention the fact that Joo Won also films 1N2D! :oOh goodness, so true about TMtEtS. It was one of those shows that could have been done as a 4 part miniseries. I think it was stretched out so far that people were just hanging about on screen most of the time.
OMO your description of how Mok Dan sees Gaksital had me giggling her for a few minutes. You're so right. He's an idol star of sorts for her. And yes they have been really clever about it so far. I found him having to watch her pretty interesting. They are just bickering right now and she did try to stab him several times (fiery pair, aren't they?), but she is noticing that he's softer now. His behaviour seems to baffle her. And then in episode 12 he very clearly informed her that there was a mole in her group or among the people she knew. I strongly believe that it made her edgy and more guarded...so much so that when Rie visited her in her nun disguise, Mok Dan's brain was just thinking differently. kang To had just left after warning her and she automatically started watching what Rie was doing. I think she would have been that way with anyone actually. But Rie was suspicious so she tested her theory and then fed her the false info. Nice going Mok Dan. Now when it comes back to her that her suspicions were correct she will know that kang To had helped her. It was not an accident. He very clearly helped her. She's going to wonder what on earth is going on. I'm loving it.
Your comments about Kang San and the rebels sometimes putting the cause before their families. I love you to pieces for saying this. Kang San actually thought about what it would mean if they found out he was Gaksital. He had a moment to think about it and continue to play dumb. I have always been one of the people who had this unpopular opinion that Kang San kept his family in the dark and that it came back to hurt him. His brother had no idea his hyung was not mentally affected by the torture. I can understand that Kang San faked mental illness to get out of the torture camps-its human instinct to want to survive. But that he kept it a secret from his family troubled me no end. His mother and brother spent years believing he was no longer sane and that they had "lost" him. Imagine the mental agony for them? His poor mother? And like you so beautifully said, Kang To had be be the breadwinner. He supported his hyung who spent time running around with the neighbourhood kids.It broke my heart when Kang To confessed to Kang San that night, that he was only doing this for his family, that Kang San didn't clue him in on what was going on. Yes, Kang To was chasing Gaksital. But if he knew his hyung was Gaksital he would never have hurt him or given him up. Ultimately Kang San's deception got him killed, by his own brother. So now Kang TO carries that guilt too.
Kang To actually put his family first. That is why he joined the regime in the first place. He felt it was the only way to put food on the table. He saw no other alternative other than begging-and lets face it, that was not something that would provide for them. Joining the regime might have made him a traitor in the eyes of his own people but he was willing to carry that burden if it meant providing for his mother and brother. When he shouts that Lee Kang To is pathetic or cannot do anything and Sato Hiroshi is who he is, he is actually saying that by serving the regime he can make things happen. He can provide for them. As Lee Kang To, the son of a Korean family in poverty, he's helpless. Its a horrible situation to be in. I don't know what I'd do in that situation. I'd hate to be forced to choose. Desperation makes us do crazy things. This is the only way out young Kang To saw.
I also feel that the hero Kang To is becoming won't see things in such absolute terms. Its not all cut and dry. There are grey areas and I think Kang To will make tough choices in his role as Gaksital. Choices his freedom fighter hyung did not make or could not make. I think that will set Kang To apart.
Coming from a country that has seen colonisation and then civil war I know it can be crazy and that some things become a norm for people during a particular period. This show clearly shows that.
Regarding the quote thing, I'm not sure hon. I am actually typing this on a notepad before posting, lol. The new soompi is a bit different and I'm still getting used to it all.
They're still shooting ep 13 and 14? Why are they so behind?
I wonder what MD will do when she finds out BM is KT. I also have a feeling that she will find at a moment there is no time to think long whether or not she accepts the fact or not. I mean everyone knows there is a connection between MD and BM. They will continue to use her to get him. What if he get's really badly hurt when he tries to save her when she's used as bait again? Or that he gets badly hurt on one of his other missions and the bodyguard guy isn't there to help..I think he will go to MD then too. At the end of the day she's the only person he can trust. He can't go to Sunji because as soon as he finds out KT is MD he will get killed even before KT had the chance to tell what his brother did to his family.
@kurisutaru Yes, I have seen the BTS video where they showed JW and KW falling asleep on the set .. I feel a lot of affection and appreciation for their hard work to bring us viewers a wonderful action packed drama. I do fear for their health as we are just only half way through the drama, there are still 14 more episodes to go and if they keep at this rate, it is going to the death of them by the end of the drama. It will require a lot of strength for them to keep up since this is an action drama. Seeing them fall asleep like that on set, I suddenly recall the scene where he came to see MD and she told him to go to sleep because he said he is tired LOL JW/KT really needs that 10 minutes sleep.
Also heard the news that JW's and JSY's voice will become KBS's automatic voice on the phone. I hope the rating will climb up and stays up... BM's casts and crews deserve it. I hope it will bring a lot more viewers.
I love reading all your comments and I know that the majority of us here are rooting for KT-MD. Although I have my doubt but I am also one who would love to see the pair as KT-MD and not KT-BM because I can't see the emotions underneath the mask. I also found the scenes of KT-MD are much more interesting and enjoyable. You can feel the emotions boiling over between those two as if they can't stand the sight of each other and yet underneath KT is yearning, begging for MD's recognition by looking into his eyes, to know him as her "Young". The scene BM was hugging MD in ep12, I was trying to read the emotions in his eyes, by a twitch of his lips or something to indicate his respond to her initiation by hugging him but I can't read anything there... so damn frustrated. If she thinks BM is her "Young" then by falling for KT, wouldn't she feel that she is cheating on her first love? At this stage, I am conflicting myself as to whether MD see BM as her "Young" or not so hopefully that part will be cleared up soon.
As for their first kiss, I don't know how it is going to turn out. A little awkward may be? What are your guy thoughts on this? JW is known to be shy but he has done a lot kissing with other actresses in other dramas but I have seen only one from JSY in her previous drama - My Daughter the Flower (I am curious about YSY so just begin to look for her drama last night) and oh boy, I can see that she was really shy and not THAT responsive. In one of the recent article about the horse riding scene, it also says that although JW and JSY are getting closer after 5 months but they are getting nervous due to the increase of mellowed scenes.

Wests Tigers Women
Wests Tigers committed to Reconciliation Action Plan
Wests Tigers are pleased to be able to provide an update on the club's Reconciliation Action Plan progress.
The club launched it's first Reconciliation Action Plan in August last year and has been working hard behind the scenes to develop and test innovative approaches to reconciliation and champion it at every level of the organisation.
In less than a year Wests Tigers have achieved a number of key milestones in implementing the Reconciliation Action plan.
The club has formed a Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group and has met with many local Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander groups and organisations, with a plan to work towards partnerships and future programs.
Wests Tigers partnered with Accor for a National Reconciliation Week careers expo this week, with Josh Reynolds delivering a goal setting workship to sudents.
The club has signed a new partnership with KARI and have developed an Indigenous Youth Holiday Camp for the upcoming July School holidays, while Wests Tigers were also a part of the recent NAIDOC Week events alongside Corporate Partner WestConnex.
The Wests Tigers Reconciliation Action Plan has been communicated to all internal parties at the club, and a number of external stakeholders, as well as having been published on the Wests Tigers website.
The club is also assisting other external stakeholders in the development of their own Reconciliation Action Plans. The club is also investigating cultural training for all staff. Elements of the Reconciliation Action Plan are now a part of all Wests Tigers events, with the club ensuring an Acknowledgement of Country is at all events and a Welcome to Country is at significant events. An Acknowledgement to Country plaque is now at Wests Tigers' training facilities.
The club has developed relationships and initiatives with schools with a high identified Aboriginal and Torres Straid Islander population such as Airds High School.
In the South-West of Sydney Wests Tigers were a part of the Indigenous Careers Expo in Campbelltown, while the club continues to be involved in the very successful School to Work program.
Outside of Sydney the club recently performed a clinic in Coledale, an area with a high Indigenous population near Tamworth.
Wests Tigers were proud to be a part of the NRL's Indigenous Round in early May which feature a celebration of Indigenous culture and tradtion, with the club playing in a Indigenous designed jersey.
The club has also formed a commercial partnership with Lantrak to further invest in Wests Tigers' Indigenous strategy.

Doomed Space Cloud Hints at Planet Formation in core.
So, the term 'Core Worlds' would take on a literal meaning. I know that the article says that the galactic core is a pretty extreme environment due to the short lived stars that inhabit the area, but planets in the galactic core bring up some interesting prospects for life around such planets. Assuming it survives through supernovas which could sterilize a planet from light years away.
If life did manage to evolve there and stay alive, evolve multicellular organisms and even intelligent life, it would either have to be extremely hardy or extremely lucky in the environment of the galactic core.
Galactic core has no short-living stars and supernovae. It is populated by yellow and red dwarfs. The main hazard for life there is a central super-massive black hole. If it's starting to eat a massive cloud of gas, the galaxy becomes a AGN (active galaxy nuclei) with tons of radiation emitted by a black hole's accretion disk, that might sterilize all life in the nuclei.
Not true, there actually are some very young massive stars very close to the galactic center (less than 1 pc), so star formation really can happen there, though probably very rarely.
Although most of them are old red main-sequence stars, the Galactic Center is also rich in massive stars. More than 100 OB and Wolf–Rayet stars have been identified there so far. They seem to have all been formed in a single star formation event a few million years ago. The existence of these relatively young (though evolved) stars was a surprise to experts, who expected the tidal forces from the central black hole to prevent their formation.

All Upcoming Lily James Movies and TV Shows
Ragesh Dipu
Lily James has been keen on being unique right from the beginning of her career. When she learned that there was another actress by the same name, she replaced her old surname Thompson with James, in memory of her father James Thompson, who was an actor and a musician. Her mother and grandmother were also actresses. Born in a family of actors in Surrey, England, James didn't take a long time to fall into the radar of casting directors. She made her television debut in 2010 with the role of Ethel Brown in the BBC One series 'Just William.' She also landed a recurring role in the ITV2 drama series 'Secret Diary of a Call Girl.'
James' first breakthrough was the supporting role of Lady Rose in the 2012 ITV series 'Downton Abbey.' Her stellar performance helped the series to become a huge success. She became a series regular in the fourth and fifth seasons. The immense popularity of her character and the huge success of the show earned James international exposure. Movies like 'Fast Girls' (2011) and 'Wrath of the Titans' (2012) launched her Hollywood career.
The actress got her second breakout role in the 2015 movie 'Cinderella' from Disney. She played the titular character of Cinderella in the movie opposite Cate Blanchett. Directed by Kenneth Branagh, 'Cinderella' went on to become a money-spinner for Disney, grossing $540M from the global box office. The success pushed James into the front row of Hollywood A-listers. In the next year, she played the iconic Tolstoy character of Natasha Rostova in the BBC adaptation of 'War & Peace.' She played her second leading role in the horror-action flick 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.' The movie, which starred her in the role of Elizabeth Bennet, is a parody 'Pride and Prejudice' written by Jane Austen.
James started to pick up more daring roles during the late-2010s. In the 2017 action flick 'Baby Driver,' she portrayed the lead role opposite Ansel Elgort who played the titular character Baby. In the same year, she became a part of the historical drama 'The Darkest Hour.' She played the character of Elizabeth Layton, who was a secretary to Winston Churchill, played by Gary Oldman. She rounded out the prolific year with the World War II drama 'The Exception,' in which the actress played the role of a British secret agent infiltrating the clique of the exiled Kaiser Wilhelm II. James starred in the 2018 sequel to the 'Mamma Mia!' titled 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' as the younger version of Meryl Streep, who is her real-life distant relative.
In the same year, she landed another adaptation project with the flick 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.' Her portrayal of the character Juliet Ashton in the movie, which is set in the '40s, earned her critical acclaim. The plot follows Juliet Ashton who writes letters to the islanders of the German-Occupied Normandy coast at the peak of World War II. James rejected the script when it came to her for the first time. She wanted to move away from period dramas for a while after 'The Exception' and The Darkest Hours.' But the script returned to her again and won her confidence in the second reading. At this point you must be wondering what is the next Lily James movie or TV show? Well, here's the list of upcoming Lily James films and TV shows scheduled to release in 2019 and 2020. We can only hope that the latest Lily James movies would be as good as some of her recent ones.
3. Yesterday (2019)
Lily James teams up with Himesh Patel and Ed Sheeran for the upcoming Beatles-inspired comedy 'Yesterday.' Directed by Danny Boyle from a script by Richard Curtis, the movie follows the struggling musician Jack Malik (Patel). As his dreams of making it big in the world of music fade, Jack slips into despair. His only consolation is the unconditional support from his childhood friend Ellie Appleton (James). Jack's life turns on its head when he has an accident one day. To his surprise, the man finds himself as the only person who remembers The Beatles and their songs!
Soon, Jack realizes the opportunity and starts releasing The Beatles songs under his own name. Since others can't remember the legends, they hail Jack for the amazing tracks. After the long period of misfortune and struggle, Jack is eventually getting closer to his dream of becoming a world-renowned musician. Kate McKinnon reportedly plays the role of Debra Hammer, the overbearing manager who helps Jack to become a global pop sensation. The movie met with positive reviews when it was premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in May 2019. 'Yesterday' is set to hit theaters on June 28, 2019.
2. Rare Beasts (TBA)
'Rare Beast' is the feature directorial debut of British stage and film actor Billie Piper, who is known for 'Yerma' and 'Doctor Who.' Lily James plays the lead role in the movie alongside David Thewlis, Leo Bill, Kerry Fox, and newcomer Toby Woolf. According to THR, the plot follows the writer and struggling mother Mandy (Piper) who finds it difficult to balance her duties of raising her son Larch (Toby Woolf) and her career. To make things more complicated, she falls for the religious and traditionalist gentleman Pete (Leo Bill). Described as an introspection of modern feminism in the backdrop of a revolutionary female movement, 'Rare Beasts' is written by Piper. Details of Lily James' character haven't been revealed yet. The movie is yet to get a release date.

1. Rebecca (TBA)
'Rebecca' is an upcoming movie adaptation of the renowned Gothic novel of the same name by Dame Daphne du Maurier. Lily James and Armie Hammer play the lead roles in the movie. James reportedly dons the role of the newlywed Mrs. de Winter while Hammer plays Maxim de Winter, whose obsession with Rebecca, his ex-wife, triggers a series of unpleasant events in the couple's life. Alfred Hitchcock made the premise and characters of the novel familiar in Hollywood with his 1940 adaptation, which was the feature directorial debut of the master filmmaker. Mrs. de Winter has to be one of the most complex characters in James' career for its emotional attributes. 'Rebecca' is directed by Ben Wheatley from a script by Jane Goldman, who is known as the writer of 'Woman in Black' and 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.' The release date of the movie is not known yet.

When traveling in Takamatsu, you will definitely use the Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad, which is operating for more than one hundred years. In Kagawa the citizen nicknamed the line: Kotoden.
The Kotoden has three lines: Kotohira, Nagao and Shido. All the lines are radiating out from the center of Takamatsu city, Kawaramachi station, to other places in Kagawa prefecture. If you want to go to Bussyouzan Hot Spring, visit the shrine Kotohira-gu, look back to the history of Genpei War at the main battlefield Yashima or go to the famous temples of Shikoku Pilgrimage like Shido-ji, Nagao-ji and Ichinomiya-ji, Kotoden is the best way!
The Kotoden one day pass will be your best friend to save money. Following an example of suggested itineraries. Morning, after waking-up early enjoy a walk around Nagao-ji, then have a taste of the buddhist temple cuisine (also called shōjin ryōri) which need to be reserved the previous day. During afternoon take the train to Kotohira station and try the ice cream, called Yumeiri Oiri ; the topping called Oiri is a traditional Japanese sweet. Now it is time to challenge the famous stone steps of shrine Kotohira-gū.After climbing 785 steps, you will arrive to the main shrine. Do not miss the lookout point from where you can overlook Sanuki Plain and Mt. Ino. Before your way back to the hotel, get off at Bussyouzan station and relieve your fatigue by soaking in the hot spring. To realize this schedule you just need the one day pass ticket.
One day pass ticket can be used on the three lines of Kotoden. You can find the time tables on the official website and arrange your own schedule easily.
The Kotoden-Bussyouzan hot Spring combination set ticket is also quite popular among travelers. Besides the cheap price, the Japanese fan-shaped ticket is really cute. It is also helpful in the hot weather and will be a good travel memory.
In the past, there were three operators for each line. The first line, Shido line, starts operating in 1911. In 1943, all the lines fusioned into Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad. Kotoden had bankrupted once in 2001. The new operation team did a survey to ask citizens "do you need Kotoden or not? ". The question's pronunciation "Iruka -do you need? "sounds the same as "dolphin" in Japanese. So Kotoden choose a dolphin for its mascot to remind itself to become a company needed by citizens.
The mascot of Kotoden, named Koto-chan, is active as a station staff. You can find his blue round body on the Kotoden's website, IC cards, one day pass tickets, posters, events held by Kotoden and even more on the design of trains.
In 2011, Koto-chan got married to his long-term girlfriend Kotomi-chan, a grand wedding ceremony was hold at Kotohira-gu shrine. Now, there are panels of Koto-chan family on the second floor of Kawaramachi station. Many travelers will stop in front of them and take a photo. Besides the Facebook page, Koto-chan has a Twitter account, goods, Line stamps and "gachapon" fascinating fans.
People of all ages want to take the photos with Koto-chan and Kotomi-chan on the train "Kotochanhiyaku" operating only on weekends and public holidays.
There are various goods about Koto Chan for example: pass cases, mugs, memo pads, tin badges, seals, tote bags and smartphone cases. In 2017, the helmets of Koto-chan family were launched.
These days, Kotoden pass through residences, shopping streets and green paddies in Kagawa. For many people that image is really different from normal Japanese railway's image. Kotoden is close to the life of citizens and completely melts into it.
The IC card "IruCa" released by Kotoden can be used to take the Kotoden and get bonus points when you go shopping in the shopping streets. Since 2018 any kind of IC cards including Kitaca, PASMO, Suica, manaca, TOICA, PiTaPa, ICOCA, Hayakaken, nimoca, or SUGOCA can be used to travel in Kagawa. Do not forget your IC card next time you come to Takamatsu!


I'm a tech journalist, so I spend every week of the year covering, reviewing, and writing about tons of awesome gadgets, devices, and accessories. Despite what you might think, I don't get to keep most of the stuff I review. And even though a new thing is always on the horizon, there are some gadgets I would love to have for my very own. And since it's holiday time that means it's wish list time. Here are all the things I want to find under the tree if anyone's asking.
Priced at about $550 the Note is at least $50 more than it's closest tablet competition. The higher price isn't just because of the HD+ resolution display, the octa-core processor, or the ultra thinness every tablet is trying to achieve these days. It's also due to the S Pen and the Wacom technology behind it that allows for a pen and paper-like writing experience.
You can't swing a dead cat5e cable around without hitting an Android tablet these days. It's almost hard to believe that tablets weren't always part of the Android landscape.
I mean, there were some attempts to put Android on all kinds of platforms in those early days. Later there were a few large-screen Android tablets that actually launched… to a less than enthusiastic marketplace. Then the iPad came along and things got real in a hurry.
How do you get your fiction fix?
Just a year ago I was complaining about how it was still an annoying multi-step process to get short fiction from my favorite magazines onto my mobile device of choice. Back then it was my eReader. These days I read on a tablet, but only because none of my eInk eReaders has the versatility I need for what I do.

Monday, health authorities stated that they were fully prepared to deal with any countrywide sub-variant of the Omicron Covid-19 variant, including BF.7.
Official sources at the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations, and Coordination say that the country had a working system with a good management team that was ready to make an emergency plan in case something bad happened.
They claimed that the country had a surveillance system in place at all entry points, including airports. They added clinical staff at escalated care units (ICU) of emergency clinics the nation over were additionally dynamic to deal with any circumstance.
Genome sequencing, according to them, began in laboratories in each of the four provinces and the capital of the Federal Republic. They added that 90% of the country's populace previously got the Coronavirus antibody so they are protected.

You know the iconic scene in the movie Fight Club when the "unnamed narrator" (Ed Norton) finally realizes who Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) really is?
Durden tells Norton, "Why would anyone possibly confuse you for me? . . .
For more than a decade, there has been a sharp increase in the number of individuals in their twenties and thirties who are experiencing an existential crisis. They have reported feeling numb, like a bystander in their own life; questioning the deeper meaning of life; not being clear about their adult identity; and wanting a sense of purpose. It is more common for people to go through this during their midlife crisis. However, a midlife crisis is usually triggered by a sense of one's own mortality.
Yesterday, PBS aired a special program on Steve Jobs with rare footage of early interviews and perspectives from his colleagues and friends. What resonated for me, in connection to the quarterlife crisis, was the sense of being able to live a broader life than what we were told.
Sherwin Nuland, a practicing surgeon for three decades, talks about hope. His quote about the human spirit resonates with what I believe many individuals in a quarterlife crisis are striving to tap into.
Office Space (1999) was a good cure for the "case of the Mondays". Even though it came out a decade ago it still resonates some of the angst many individuals in a quarterlife crisis feel when they are at work.
Here's a touching story from Story Corp about Andrew DeVries and his exceptional experience with a hospitalist after getting into a serious motorcycle accident. This is an example of giving each other hope and thus connecting on a very deep level. During the quarterlife crisis, we may come in contact with people for brief moments that can make the difference of a lifetime.

ג'מלטו מגבירה את הקישוריות של האינטרנט של הדברים באמצעות מודול M2M Cat 1 LTE הראשון בענף
Gemalto boosts connectivity for the Internet of Things with the industry-first M2M Cat 1 LTE module
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Sept. 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE):
Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, is launching the industry's first LTE Category 1 (Cat 1) wireless module to revolutionize highly efficient 4G LTE connectivity. Specifically designed for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications, the new Cinterion(R) M2M module meets the market need of power-optimized performance and single-mode LTE at speeds of up to 10Mbit/s download and 5Mbit/s uplink. This makes it an ideal solution for IoT applications such as metering, tracking and tracing, fleet management and mHealth that require the longevity and reliability of LTE in the decades ahead as 2G and 3G networks phase out.
The rugged Cinterion ELS31 is the first in a series of leading edge M2M-optimized LTE products from Gemalto. The solution delivers a long lifespan, significant bandwidth and power efficiencies and a feature set specific to the needs of industrial IoT solutions such as extended operating temperatures from -40degreesC to 85degreesC. Sharing the same footprint as existing Cinterion industrial portfolio products, the new module enables easy migration to LTE from 2G and 3G devices. All Cinterion modules come with Full Type Approval (FTA) and local network operator certifications to ensure easy integration and a fast time to market for innovative solutions. The Cat 1 LTE module joins the Cinterion family of integrated products leveraging Gemalto's core competencies on Machine Identification Modules (MIMs)(TM), managed M2M platforms and security technology required for today's IoT world.
"Mobile networks worldwide are rapidly evolving to LTE, but the vast majority of industrial M2M and IoT solutions don't require high-speed 4G bandwidth for optimal performance," said Josh Builta, Associate Director of M2M at IHS. "LTE Cat 1 modules however provide performance and features that are optimal for most industrial applications, and deliver a cost-effective way to alleviate customers' long-term future proofing concerns."
"With M2M connections expected to reach 1 billion by 20201, the new Gemalto Cinterion Cat 1 module paves the way for massive expansion of the IoT marketplace enabling smart, efficient and cost effective use of evolving 4G networks," said Axel Hansmann Vice President Portfolio & Strategy M2M at Gemalto. "The new module is the industry's first step toward true machine type communications offering advantages in size, power and longevity as well as easy integration with Gemalto's market leading MIMs and security technologies for significant value added benefits."

Episode 11 of the More than Health Care: A Community Health Conversation podcast is now available on the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities' website and on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and Spotify. Every other week, a new episode uncovers keys to collaboration and holistic health in pursuit of improved health outcomes and lower costs for all.
From city mayor in Rockford, Illinois, to his current work as vice president of government relations at Marathon Health, Larry Morrissey uncovers interesting insights about systems of support in our communities.
Learn as he explains the unique ways Marathon Health is supporting its members by recognizing that social determinants provide a more in-depth insight into the need for services that are beyond the traditional medical aspects of community health. And by identifying these determinants and other related issues early in the healthcare process, Morrissey is confident that referrals for care will be more precise, address both medical and social aspects, and ultimately lead to better outcomes.
Morrissey also feels that employers are shifting their focus to become more involved while also recognizing the impact of social determinants on the health of their workforces. And he is quick to point out that it's in their best interest, "The truth is all employers, especially larger ones that are self-insured, have realized that they're in the healthcare business, whether they want to be or not." In short, a healthy workforce means better productivity, "Healthy employees cost less. Healthy employees are more productive, they stick around longer; all the data supports those conclusions," said Morrissey.
For the social services sector, Morrissey feels that organizations must reach out to employers within their areas of service to provide a better understanding of what they can provide. Whether this is done directly with an individual employer or collectively through business groups, Morrissey believes that the message needs to be delivered that a more robust vision of healthcare, including all aspects of social determinants, will leave a greater and more significant and positive impact in any given community.
Listen as Morrissey provides this insightful look inside Marathon Health's efforts to provide better outcomes for its members' employee health in Episode 11 of the  More than Health Care Podcast  available through the Alliance website or subscribe on the Apple Podcast, Google Play, or Spotify apps.
While many are realizing that collaboration and holistic approaches are the solution, the health care and human services sectors are struggling to find the right formula to realize the full potential. The More than Health Care podcast is designed to help organizations overcome barriers to partnerships resulting from cultural differences, financial pressures, and rules and regulations.
In addition to showcasing inspiring examples of integration from across the country, featured experts will expose the myths, misconceptions, and shortcomings of efforts to address the social determinants of health through collaboration across sectors.
This podcast is presented by the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities, Ascentria Care Alliance, and Beech Acres Parenting Center. Cohosts Jill Huynh, vice president of new business development at Beech Acres, and Tim Johnstone, executive vice president of community services at Ascentria, work at the intersection of health and human services, bringing the expertise and practical experience to uncover key takeaways for improving health care and human services integration.

Silver anniversary: 25 years of Arburg success on the Czech and Slovak markets
Outstanding: Arburg subsidiary in Czechia has become a turnkey hub
Impressive: subsidiary rapidly became a success story
Anniversary: celebration with live demonstrations and tour of Arburg Technology Factory (ATF)
Lossburg, Brno 06/10/2021
Arburg's subsidiary in Brno, Czechia, celebrated the 25th anniversary of its foundation on 30 September and 1 October 2021. On this special occasion, Arburg Managing Partner Juliane Hehl thanked Dr. Daniel Orel, Managing Director of Arburg spol. s r.o., and his 40-strong team for their huge commitment and loyalty. Gerhard Böhm, Managing Director of Sales and Service, looked back at how the subsidiary rapidly became a success story. In addition the around 150 invited guests had the opportunity to convince themselves of the efficiency of the machines during exciting live demonstrations. The anniversary programme was rounded off by a tour of the historic Spilberk fortress.
"I'm extremely impressed by what our team has achieved here over the last quarter of a century," said Juliane Hehl in her address. Gerhard Böhm also sent his congratulations and the thanks of all at the Arburg parent company. "The role of Arburg Czechia in our international network of branches is outstanding," he stressed. This was proven among other things by the further development of the Arburg Technology Centre to the Arburg Technology Factory (ATF) with comprehensive turnkey competence.
Thanks to the dedicated team at Arburg Czechia
In her address, Juliane Hehl praised the subsidiary team. She thanked Jaroslav Novak and Ilja Uhmann, two of its founding members. As managing director, Jaroslav Novak played a key role in setting up the subsidiary and developing it. Although he has been retired since 2015, he continues to support the team today in a consultative capacity. As his right-hand woman, the late Jindriska Jurneckova played a key role for many years. As service technician, Ilja Uhmann ensured the Allrounders ran smoothly for decades. Further guests of honour at the event included Tomas Haken, Jiri Zemla and Milan Prachar, who have worked at Arburg for more than 20 years. Juliane Hehl extended her heartfelt thanks for their outstanding commitment and decades of loyalty to ARBURG. Dr. Daniel Orel has been in charge of the subsidiary since 2015. "It was a huge challenge but he overcame it with bravado and, together with his stalwart team managed, to continue the success story," came the praise from Juliane Hehl.
Successful development of the Arburg subsidiary
The story of the subsidiary has developed at a rapid pace over the past 25 years. The foundation of the subsidiary in the year 1996, the opening of a branch in Slovakia in 2000 and construction of the Arburg Technology Centre (ATC) in 2004 charts this rapid success story. As a result provision of service and consultations could be significantly developed and automation turnkey projects implemented too. The building was extended in 2013. Since 2016 there has been an assembly hall for turnkey systems where customer-specific turnkey systems are now designed, built, assembled and commissioned for functional and quality acceptances.
The subsequent expertise in plant technology that arose is now utilised in the neighbouring countries of Poland and Hungary too. "The branch has therefore developed into a hub for turnkey solutions and project management," says Gerhard Böhm.
Eventful programme
The guests were able to convince themselves of the efficiency of the machines and innovative applications during live demonstrations. The programme was rounded off with a tour of Spilberk fortress and a meal in a special ambience
