When people think about ELT conferences, they tend to picture the plenaries, presentations, workshops, and exhibitions. After all, these are the things which we see advertised in the online flyers and listed in the pages of programmes. And in terms of professional development these aspects of conferencing-going are a key part. However, I'd argue that most is often gained from the informal conversation you have with the person sitting next to you before a talk begins, the sharing of ideas over a coffee afterwards, and the chance meeting with someone who has similar interests. It's called networking and although conference organisers can provide the right conditions for it to take place – you have to take the initiative.
When it comes to the topic of 'networking', some people don't think there's much to know – they'd say it's just a case of being sociable and chatty. But actually, when you walk into a conference for the first time on your own, it can be quite daunting. It always seems like everyone else knows each other and are already in the midst of deep conversation. How do you enter into what can seem like a closed private party?
Here are some tips and ideas based on my training work with business students and from what I've learned since attending my first ELT conference in 1993.
Part of our reticence to 'network' is because we falsely assume that networking always requires you to be extroverted, outgoing and social. However, in a study by the University of Pennsylvania it was shown that people who often successfully network for their job (e.g. sales people) are neither extroverts, nor introverts but what we can call 'ambiverts'; they combined the ability to make conversation but also to hold back and listen carefully to others. In other words, the skills that any good teacher learns to develop in the classroom.
Being interested can only work if the other person is being interesting. This doesn't mean you have to label yourself as some kind of fascinating raconteur. It simply means you need to give the other person something to respond to. For example, if the other person were to ask, 'What do you do?' and you replied, 'I'm a teacher.' it doesn't give them much to work with to maintain the dialogue. Better instead to offer them a bit more by answering, 'I'm a teacher based in [name of city/country], we have a school with over a thousand students…' Already this answer makes me warm to the other person because they are giving me more about themselves and now I have more to follow up on.
Research by the social psychologist Robert Cialdini showed that having an impact on others in social situations is more likely to happen when we find similarities or 'commonalities' which help us to attune to each other. Even if you feel you are unlikely to have anything in common with a person you've just met, go in search of the similarities. At a conference for teachers, the obvious connection will be your job, but commonalities might also include broader topics such as interests in sport/culture, recent holidays and travel, plans for the evening etc.
This is perhaps stating the linguistic obvious but you create more conversation by asking questions that begin with why, what, where, how than with do, are, does, is. It does come with a word of warning. In some cultures, asking the other person a lot of questions is a sign that you are interested. However, in others, networkers use fewer questions to achieve turn-taking and asking too many questions can come across as overly-inquisitive. It's a fine balance but, in general, questions indicate interest in the other person.
I always used to think the idea of having a business card seemed slightly pompous at a conference. This unease and slight embarrassment often translated itself into me limply handing over a card (or even not daring to) until I eventually realised that other people are happy to receive them and will gladly hand over theirs. In recent years I probably hand fewer of them out simply because contact via online media has made them increasingly unnecessary. The point is that effective networking should result in the other person knowing how to get in touch with you a later date if they need to. So 'share'.
My final tip is this: when you're seated at a conference next to someone you've never met before, and you're wondering whether to strike up a conversation – do it. The likelihood is that they probably feel the same urge to chat to someone and are happy to find commonalities and share experiences. And if for some reason they don't readily respond – maybe they're taking a mental break – that's fine, just turn to the person on the other side of you and start a conversation with them instead.

Loudoun County's First Black Chair Presides Over Vote To Remove Confederate Monument Last year, moving a Confederate Monument from the Loudoun County Courthouse lawn was impossible. This year it's inevitable. What changed?

For nearly two decades, Phyllis Randall pushed to remove the Confederate monument that stands outside the Loudoun County Courthouse. On the night of May 31, though, she found herself defending the statue. Randall, who chairs the Loudoun County Board, and Vice Chair Koran Saines (D-Sterling), who are both African American, stood at its pedestal to keep protesters away.
"There were people who were trying to do things to the monument and climb up on it and put stickers on it." Randall recalled. "Mr. Saines and I literally stood on either side of the monument and said, 'No, we're not going to let that happen. Do not damage the monument.'"
Randall, a Democrat, shielded the monument not for love, but so she could savor its orderly demise. And at a board meeting on Tuesday, she got that moment.
"I take this vote in the name of thousands," Randall said through tears. "Thousands of Loudoun citizens, Black citizens, who never had a voice and sometimes didn't have a vote."
The nine members voted unanimously to return the statue to the United Daughters of the Confederacy. It was a stunning about-face. A year ago, Virginia law prevented local governments from moving the monuments. Loudoun County's Republican-controlled board insisted on keeping the statue standing, and the Daughters of the Confederacy firmly supported keeping the figure in place.
Now each of those barriers has fallen away.
Phil Thompson, who tried in vain to remove the monument during his tenure as Loudoun NAACP president from 2014-2019, attended the same rally in May. He worried protesters could hurt themselves or that police could intervene and trigger a clash. It was a relief to see Randall step in, and evidence of rapid change, he said.
"There are times when we led the charge. Now everybody's running past us," Thompson said.

A Silent Sentinel
The bronze "Silent Sentinel" depicts a young Confederate soldier cocking his musket. It was unveiled in 1908, paid for by the group that would become the United Daughters of the Confederacy, with a $500 assist from the county government. At its base is a plaque that reads, "In memory of the Confederate soldiers of Loudoun County."
When it went up, it was not remarkable; some 100 Confederate monuments stand in Virginia. But to Randall, who moved from Colorado to Virginia in the early 1990s, it was a shock.
In this 2004 letter, Phyllis Randall wrote in a local paper that "To include Confederate symbols on our public streets and public signs does much more than just recognize the historic ties Leesburg and Loudoun County have to the Confederacy, it actually celebrates what the Confederacy was."

"I looked at it like, three times, and I really couldn't believe that I was looking at a Confederate monument in front of a courthouse," she said. "It's total betrayal of me as an American that this is something they would put up on public, county-owned property in front of the place where you should receive justice."
In 2004, Randall wrote Loudoun Connection her first of several letters against Confederate symbols in the county, titling the missive, "Teach Not Celebrate." Other signs of displeasure cropped up from time to time, like in 2006, when vandals broke the barrel of the rifle. Still, the statue was part of the county's fabric. In 2008, the Loudoun County board contributed more than $3,000 to a celebration of its centennial.
'We Just Did Not Feel Compelled To Move It'
Distant tragedies fueled recent local calls to move the monument. After a white gunman massacred nine African American worshippers in a South Carolina church in 2015, Thompson of the NAACP said he tried to take the Leesburg statue down.
"We did a rally in 2015 asking for the statue to be removed and replaced," Thompson told WAMU/DCist. "But we were told numerous times that Virginia law was fairly specific as far as war memorials."
The Loudoun County Board, dominated by Republicans, was also against moving the monument. Former Chair Scott York said requests to remove the statue came up "a couple times" during his 16 years at the helm, but he deflected them.
"The monuments have represented members of this community throughout the ages who went off and fought in battle," York told WAMU/DCist. "We just did not feel compelled to move it."
Instead, in 2015 Loudoun County voted to contribute $50,000 toward building a memorial to Union soldiers and enslaved people who were sold on the county courthouse steps. The Sentinel would remain standing.
Opposition Falters
Loudoun County is among the wealthiest counties in America and one of the fastest growing, adding about 100,000 people in the decade ending in 2019. The county's foreign-born population doubled in that period, and the new residents added to a growing Democratic voting bloc.
In the 2015 elections, Randall ousted York and became the first African American woman to chair a Virginia county board. She now had a bigger platform to assail the monument, but she faced a Republican majority on the nine-member board, and the same state law that prohibited moving war memorials.
In August 2017, following the deadly "Unite the Right" rally that ignited over an effort to remove a statue to Confederate General Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, Randall mounted a new effort. She motioned to ask the General Assembly to give Loudoun County the authority to move its monument. The motion failed, and instead, the board tasked the county's Heritage Commission with reviewing the courthouse's history and recommending new memorials "to fully reflect the history of the grounds and Loudoun County."
"I opposed that," Randall said. "I believe the contextual nature of that belongs in history books, not in a statue that memorializes and commemorates."
Donna Bohanon co-chaired the commission, which issued an 84-page history of race relations in the county. It included details on 250 African Americans from Loudoun County who fought for the Union in the Civil War and three Black victims of lynching in the county. Bohanon, who is African American, said the monument offended her, too, but she didn't consider removing it as part of her brief. Instead, she said surfacing the county's history might have spread empathy.
"Working on pulling together the narrative has stoked people's curiosity," she said.
In 2019, Democrats swept Virginia, flipping the Loudoun board as well as both houses of the General Assembly. In February this year, state lawmakers voted to give local authorities the power to move their war memorials.
By June, the Loudoun chapter of the United Daughter of the Confederacy staked out a defensive position, writing on Facebook, "Removing a monument is not the solution. It doesn't fix anything. It only creates more division and pain."
A Dam Breaks
The new law enabling towns to take down their monuments took effect this month; Chair Randall scheduled a hearing July 7 to begin the process. She said she danced for joy in her kitchen when she received a letter that would speed it up: the United Daughters of the Confederacy asked for their statue back.
"A clear majority [of the county board] has expressed their support for its removal," attorney Stephen Price wrote on behalf of the group. "Consequently, the Loudoun Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy have directed me to request the statue's return."
The group did not respond to a request for comment.
The UDC removed another Confederate statue in Alexandria last month as part of a wave across the state; four of Richmond's five Confederate statues on Monument Avenue have been removed in the last weeks as well, and Gov. Ralph Northam (D) says he will overcome a judge order to take down a memorial to Robert E. Lee.
On Tuesday Randall heard public comments on the monument. One speaker recalled Revolutionary War soldiers melting down a statue of King George III into musket balls and suggested a similar destruction for Leesburg's statue. Others supported moving the memorial to a museum or a civil war battlefield. Only a few defended the statue, including Geary Higgins, a Republican former member of the board.
"What I fear is that this is really not about war memorials. This is about all memorials," he said, as he reached the end of his allotted speaking minutes. Randall cut him off.
"Mr. Higgins," she interjected. "Mr. Higgins, your time is up."
Leesburg town councilman Ron Campbell said he is pleased the Confederate statue will come down; still, he says, there is much work to do to reconcile the racist history of his town. Daniella Cheslow/WAMU hide caption

The board took a vote on returning the monument to the Daughters of the Confederacy. All nine members voted in favor, including three Republicans.
The legacy of the Confederacy and segregation in Leesburg will not go down with the monument. Ron Campbell (D), a member of the Leesburg Town Council, said he was dismayed this year to see hundreds of Confederate flags up at a Leesburg cemetery on Memorial Day. Even the town's WWI Memorial is segregationist, he said; the names of three Black war casualties are separated from their white comrades-in-arms.
"There has been no reconciliation in the Commonwealth of Virginia, much less Leesburg," he said.
Loudoun County and the UDC agreed they will remove the statue by September 7. In the meantime, Randall said she is weighing how to impose more oversight over the county's elected sheriff. She said the board also created an equity officer position to examine its work.
"Three years ago some of the things I wanted to discuss or I tried to discuss, I just couldn't get them off the ground," she said. "We're in a very different time."

December 21, 2022 charity anthologies, Doctor Who, Shadow of the Gallifreyan No comments
Shadow of the Gallifreyan
It's been a quiet year for Altrix, but we've been busy at work behind the scenes. Our next charity Doctor Who anthology, in aid of Shelter, will be our first release in 2023. We are delighted to reveal this superb cover art by writer and illustrator Simon A Brett. Simon is a regular member of the Strangers in Space podcast and the artist behind the stunning cover for Paul's Professor Howe book The Holy Hotel,
Featuring flash-fiction from a huge variety of writers and fans, Shadow of the Gallifreyan tells the stories of what happened next to some of the people and places the Doctor left behind on their adventures. How would the Doctor be remembered, did things go as they would have liked or expected?
These stories are told from the perspective not of the Doctor's regular companions, but often from characters we might have even forgotten about. Some get their happy endings, others not so much, but for all of them life would never be the same again.
More news early next year, but in the meantime a very happy holiday season to all our readers!
Paul and Kara.
Shadow of the Gallifreyan - Update
March 03, 2022 call for pitches, charity anthologies, Shadow of the Gallifreyan No comments
The deadline for receiving submissions for our next charity anthology (in aid of Shelter) has now passed and we are beginning to edit the pieces. But don't worry if you have missed it. With so many stories to cover and writers to feature, this was always going to take some time and we are hoping to have the book ready for publication by the end of the year. If you have reserved stories for the collection, but have yet to send in your work, do get in touch to let us know how things are progressing.
If you missed out on the initial call for pitches, there are still a number of slots available. We plan to approach a number of writers directly to fill in the gaps, but if you'd like to be part of this exciting project then do get in touch with us at altrixbooks@virginmedia.com and we will send you all the details.
For those looking forward to reading the book, we can tell you that you are in for a treat. This is going to be something quite special judging from the excellent stories we've received so far.
State of the Altrix: November 2021
You may have noticed a degree of silence from us for a while — we assure you, it's nothing to do with Altrix itself. We're alive and well, and as things stand, hopefully ready to push forward at full speed again.
It's Kara at the wheel today. Some of you may know this via social media already. My grandfather and adoptive father, Charlie Husson, passed in early September. The months prior to that were spent dealing with various end-of-life stages. And the weeks since then have been spent dealing not only with the obvious grief, but also legal and financial tie-ups.
I'd like to thank everyone for their patience during this time, as my family helps to get each other back on track. It's been a longer process than I'd like, and Altrix is (unfortunately) not the only thing in my life affected. Big thanks also to Paul for keeping things afloat while I've been in and out of commission, especially the release of the very good Master Switches.
A lot of things are up in the air, but as I get my feet back under me in the coming days, a few quick notes:
Shadow of the Gallifreyan is still being worked on (I will be hopping in to read through the pitches along with Paul shortly) - please keep an eye out for more information on this
Master Switches is still available - thanks to everyone who's already bought a copy!
We've got other irons in the fire as well, and with both of us in commission, things should be ticking over again shortly
Thanks again for everyone's understanding, and for your continued support of Altrix.
Shadow of the Gallifreyan - Extended Deadlines
October 05, 2021 call for pitches, charity anthologies No comments
Over the last few weeks we have been reserving story slots for our next Doctor Who charity anthology - The Shadow of the Gallifreyan (in aid of Shelter). We have been delighted by the response so far. Some writers have even sent in completed first drafts, and others have come up with some truly outstanding and original pitches for their chosen stories.
Although we will not be editing submissions until early in the new year, anyone who contacted us before the 30th September deadline should have heard back from us by now. Do get in touch if you think we've missed something from you.
There are still a number of slots to fill, so we are extending the deadline for reserving stories to 31st October. Importantly, we'd like to see a brief proposal for each story before we can give the final green light.
The list of stories that have already been taken and are therefore no longer available is here - list of reserved stories
Initially we limited story reservations to three per writer, but we are now giving you the opportunity to write up to four pieces. If you have already reserved your three stories and would like to pitch for another please do!
For more details about the anthology and what we are looking for see our updated announcement here
The most popular Doctors so far have been the seventh and the twelfth Doctors, but although some of the others are lagging behind we've had a fairly balanced mix of pitches from across every era of the series.
In order to allow more time for pitches to come in, we are also extending the deadline for first drafts from all writers to the 1st March 2022.
Master Switches: Further Misadventures in Space and Time
September 10, 2021 charity anthologies, Master Switches No comments
Altrix Books is delighted to announce the release of Master Switches - an unofficial Doctor Who anthology in aid of The Stroke Association.
After a series of adventures without the Doctor (Master Pieces), the many incarnations of the Master are back to doing what they do best; scheming to bring down their greatest adversary. The proverbial thorn in the side has made a hobby out of thwarting the Master's plans for universal domination. But even the Doctor can't always be the hero, the victor, and the star. Sometimes, the Master must take the Doctor's place...
Featuring stories by Jon Arnold, Andrew Blair, Kara Dennison, Paul Driscoll, Kenton Hall, Stephen Hatcher, Paul Hiscock, Matthew Kresal, Gary J Mack, Greg Maughan, Iain McLaughlin, Ellen Montgomery, Nathan Mullins, Gerard Power, Rachel Redhead, Graham Tedesco-Blair and Joshua Wanisko. Cover illustration and design by Ginger Hoesly.
The book is available to buy now for a limited time in various Amazon regions, including the UK and the USA.
The Shadow of the Gallifreyan - Call for Pitches
August 15, 2021 call for pitches, charity anthologies No comments
This flash fiction 2022 charity anthology edited by Kara Dennison and Paul Driscoll considers the after-effects of the Doctor's presence in a televised adventure. The things they leave behind, physically and emotionally. It's the 'what happened next' as told from the perspective of some of the individuals who encountered them. The title is inspired by the German theologian Gerd Thiessen's The Shadow of the Galilean (and is not intended as a loaded comment on the Doctor's origins).
We are looking for flash fiction of between 500 - 1000 words told by a supporting character to cover every televised Doctor Who story. They can be minor or major characters (as long as they have a spoken role and name), human or alien, hero or villain, but no companions or series regulars.
Your character is the narrator of the piece, whether you write it as an action scene or piece of reflective speech. The best contributions will be those that best capture the individual voice of the speaker. We will accept multiple genres, from poetry as consciously written by the character, to letters, journal entries and straightforward story-telling.
We want to know what impact the Doctor had, in terms of their actions, their decisions, their words, and their character. We don't want a book that becomes a gushing eulogy, so those experiences and judgements might be negative as well as positive, or more likely a little bit of both. Although these are the experiences of those whose lives were altered in some way by the Doctor, the focus must end up on the Doctor, hence the title of the collection.
You can pick a 'good guy', a 'bad guy', or a neutral character. Their perspective and 'side' might have changed from what was seen on screen. No series regulars, including any of the Doctors should be active figures in your story. This is about what happens after they have left – whether that be the immediate aftermath, or sometime in the future, from days to years.
As an unofficial charity anthology, this work is not meant to be considered as canon in the strictest definition of the term, meaning that you do not need to worry about presenting a consistent timeline to that which might be featured in official spin-offs such as BBC novels or Big Finish audios. Be creative and don't feel limited by existing stories.
There will likely be two volumes to cover 1963-1996 and 2005-present.
You can reserve up to four (UPDATED) stories in total. We just need the name of the story you are planning to cover and the character you would like to use. Slots will usually be reserved on a first come - first served basis, but the final green light will come following receipt of an acceptable synopsis (which can be just a few lines).
We will be raising money for the UK homelessness charity, Shelter. We hope that some of the stories might show a character who has experienced similar social and economic challenges to those faced by the people the charity support, but it is of course by no means a requirement.
DEADLINE FOR RESERVING STORIES (UPDATED): 31st October 2021.
DEADLINE FOR STORY SYNOPSES (NEW): 31st October 2021.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING YOUR WORK (UPDATED): 31st August 2022.
E-Mail for reservations, pitches and story submissions: altrixbooks@virginmedia.com.
Master Switches - full line up.
August 13, 2021 charity anthologies, Master Switches No comments
We are now in a position to announce the full line-up of stories in Master Switches. Unlike our previous collection, the Doctor is back for this one, only not as you might expect. This is the Master's chance to shine at their old adversary's expense. You'll read some re-imaginings of old adventures, new combinations of Masters and Doctors, and stories where the Master gains the upper hand or perhaps even the moral high ground. Edited by Paul Driscoll and with cover art by Ginger Hoesly, the anthology is in support of The Stroke Association and is due for release this August.

USDA Publishes Final Rule to Allow the Importation of Fresh Cherimoya Fruit from Chile
Washington, D.C., March 28, 2018 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is updating its regulations to allow imports of fresh cherimoya fruit from Chile into the continental United States under a systems approach.
Commercial shipments of fresh cherimoya fruit from Chile are currently imported into all U.S. ports after a soapy water and wax treatment to prevent the false red mite from entering the country. At the request of Chilean officials, APHIS scientists evaluated whether fresh cherimoya fruit could be safely imported using a systems approach, and provided opportunity for public comment.
After analyzing the plant pest risks, APHIS determined that the fruit could safely enter the continental United States under a systems approach, which is series of measures taken by growers, packers, and shippers that minimize the risk of importing plant pests. The systems approach requires:
Locations where the fruit is grown must be registered with Chilean plant health officials,
Production locations must be marked on all fruit cartons so harvested fruit can be traced back to that location,
Shipments must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate stating the fruit was produced according to import requirements, and
Fruit must be inspected after it is harvested and processed for shipping.
Shipments that do not pass initial inspection may still be imported if the fruit is treated with soapy water and wax and completes additional inspection in Chile.
APHIS experts have determined that these measures will protect the United States from the false red mite. The final rule will become effective on April 30, 2018, 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.

I think Principle Centered Leadership (Amazon) was the most annoying, preachy, and useless book I have ever read. Really disappointing as I got a lot out of 7 Habits (Amazon) and thought reading this would similar enough to refresh my thinking, but also something new.
Actually I hated it so much, I may never manage to read 7 Habits again either.
As far as I could make out, the first third of the book evangelised the idea of getting up at 5 in the morning. The last bit evangelised religion, and either implied or outright said the necessity of religion for being a decent human being (something that I, as an atheist, obviously completely disagree with). I don't really know, at that point I was too annoyed to care.
In the middle he talked a lot about parenting, about family mission statements, and about his children. But only his male children.
Don't read this book. The real mystery is why I made it to the end. I just kept thinking there must be something worthwhile in it! But there wasn't.

Brookins Consulting has a long term extensive history of proposed and accepted upstream improvements in the form of work product contributions in both code and documentation form to the eZ Systems' eZ Community of Software (eZ Publish, eZ Platform).
Brookins Consulting maintains this product. Most of our work was previously not in individual pull request.
eZ Authorize - Created and distributed by Brookins Consulting. eZ Authorize provided a completely functional out of the box solution to accept credit card payments through the service Authorize.net. This software provided North American eZ Publish Commerce websites payment acceptance solutions with minimal setup. It was well received by the community at large and frequently used all over the internet where e-commerce stores are using eZ Publish.
eZ GPG - Created and distributed by Brookins Consulting. eZ GPG provided a easy to use solution to encrypt and decrypt information within eZ Publish out of the box. It too was well received by the community at large and included in others derived works (other separate eZ Publish extensions). The functionality eZ GPG provides was also at a later point in time shortly after it's release was made a optional dependency to eZ Authorize extension and used to provide encryption and storage of information. This allowed customers of the store to store payment information on-site in the eZ database for later reuse (Ie: Re-Order, Subscriptions, Etc)).
In October 2007 eZ Systems published Brookins Consulting's next article ' How to Use eZ Publish Extensions: Google Analytics' on ez.no.
In January 2007 eZ Systems published Brookins Consulting's article ' Installing an eZ Publish Payment Gateway' on ez.no. In May 2007 our article was nominated for the 2007 eZ award, 'Publication of the Year'.
Brookins Consulting supports the Ecosystem's continued development of user, administrator and software developer documentation through eZpedia.
Brookins Consulting has contributed to the eZ Community so long some of our valuable code contributions no longer have web accessible resources (from older eras of the web) including private cvs repositories, private svn repositories, defunct public svn repositories, google code, mailing lists, community websites and so much more.
From each erra of eZ (v2, v3, v4, v5, v6) there have been key contributions made by Brookins Consulting.
While older resources fade from the web we continue to do our very best to continue to create for the people we care for most.

A Show of Lebanese Art Suffused with the Longing of Exile
At Angela Meleca Gallery, five contemporary Lebanese artists consider their relationships to their home country.
by Sarah Rose Sharp May 2, 2017 May 2, 2017
Rania Matar, detail of "Samira 15, Bourj El Barajneh Refugee Camp, Beirut" (2015) (all photos by the author for Hyperallergic unless otherwise noted)
COLUMBUS, Ohio — In our photo-happy culture, it's easy to take for granted the power of documentation. People from places where political instability and violent conflict undermine the flow of daily life — from raising families in safety to snapping the occasional vacuous selfie — often find themselves exiled, not only from their physical homelands, but from their communities and historical records. This is perhaps the reason that so much of the work in Action at a Distance, a show at Angela Meleca Gallery featuring five contemporary Lebanese artists, skews heavily towards film and photography. Meleca is of Lebanese descent herself, and the exhibition in part reflects her personal stake in raising awareness of the human cost of Lebanon's mercurial social and political situation — beginning with the Lebanese Civil War, which besieged the country from 1975 until 1990, and on to the Cedar Revolution and other upheavals that have followed since. From such a violent history emerges a quiet and meditative group show, offering a sense of displaced individuals struggling to reconstruct their histories of a place.

"I am from both cultures, and I relate to both cultures equally," said Lebanese American photographer Raina Matar in an email interview. "I feel that my two worlds are now more divided than ever, even though at the core, they are not that different." Matar moved to the United States in 1984, but has long made visits back to Lebanon; in 2014, she began work on her Invisible Children series. These portraits feature young people she encounters in her walks around Beirut, among them Syrian refugees and third-generation Palestinian children in the Bourj el-Barajneh refugee camp. Her beautifully rendered photographs raise questions about belonging and what it means to be a refugee; the latter is typically thought of as a transitional state, but as her pictures document, refugee life can stretch on through generations. Are these newly arrived Syrian children the refugees? Are the Palestinian children who were born in Beirut? Is Matar, a US resident of more than 30 years, still a refugee as well?
Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige, "The Lebanese Rocket Society, Restaged #2" (2012)
This idea of subjective and abstracted history extends through the other works on display, including two stills from a video by the research and filmmaking duo Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige. The prints are time-lapse images that capture a piece of their wider project The Lebanese Rocket Society: Restaged, which investigates the story of the Lebanese space program formed in 1960. Working off of a found commemorative stamp bearing the logo of the society, Hadjithomas and Joreige discovered the obscured record of mathematics professor Manoug Manougian, who formed a group of students at the Armenian Haigazian University in Beirut with the aspiration of making Lebanon the first Arab country to launch a rocket into space. The society launched a series of rockets between 1961–66, but was disbanded following the Arab defeat in the Six-Day War of 1967.
In their film "The Lebanese Rocket Society" (2012), which screened in tandem with the show's opening at the nearby Wexner Center for the Arts, Hadjithomas and Joreige reconnect with this history not only through the paper trail of the spotty remaining documentation, but also by literally restaging the transport of a symbolic rocket through the streets of Beirut. The undertaking was fraught with diplomatic complications, as Lebanon continues to be a place quite sensitive to anything that could easily be mistaken, by other countries or the general populace, as presaging an act of war. Due to the time-lapse nature of the photographs on display, the rocket on a truck bed (which has subsequently been installed as a commemorative statue) appears only as a blur of motion, visually reinforcing a sense of the ephemeral nature of this surreal bit of Lebanese history.
Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige, detail of "The Lebanese Rocket Society, Restaged #8" (2012)
Youmna Chlala's light boxes further explore the connection between memory and place, with texts on the nature of Lebanon superimposed on Super 8 stills from walks around Beirut. Over email, Chlala characterized these objects as "a material interrogation of presence and absence. I'm most interested in how architecture and space reveal relationships or create potential exchange." The light boxes offer diffuse and impressionistic visuals, lit from within and capturing the longing and alienation of exile in a familiar land — like little postcards from the soul. They're about "how we come to know a space by experiencing it over and over again," she said. "By superimposing, juxtaposing, and by inserting fictional text, new and invented spaces simultaneously appear and disappear."

Works by Rhea Karam employ an even more literal and analogue form of layers: the artist takes photographs of trees in her adopted home of Brooklyn and then creates life-size cutouts which she transports back to Lebanon, to paste in various locations and photograph again. This transplant process clearly carries personal significance for an artist grappling with her international identity, but it also opens the door for a sincere reengagement with her native land, where she often has unexpected encounters in places that might easily seem abandoned. Meleca recounted some of Karam's experiences installing her work, including the discovery that one of her pieces was encroaching on a refugee camp — whose inhabitants eagerly asked for an additional tree to go up at a neighboring camp — and an attempt to mount one of her trees on what turned out to be the wall of a police station (the officers allowed her to take her photograph but made her remove the tree afterwards).
Rhea Karam, "TS_04" (2015)
"For this body of work, there was a lot of thought and preparation that went into each image, as I worked on the trees that I was going to integrate into the Lebanese landscape beforehand in my studio in New York," Karam said over email. "I did not know where they would end up exactly, but prepared them for their destination — similar to how we integrate into a new environment when we move countries, knowing where we are going but having a lot of uncertainty as to where, and if, we will fit in."
This feeling of an identity adrift between the place one comes from and the place one ends up permeates the whole of Action at a Distance. The subject matter is too serious for the work to be characterized as whimsical, but a wistfulness hangs over the spare environs of the gallery. The quietness and longing of the works on view serve as a reminder that when we are displaced or remove ourselves from our homelands, it's not just action that we miss — we risk setting our memories, emotions, and senses of self at what can feel like an impassable distance.
Action at a Distance continues at Angela Meleca Gallery (144 East State Street, Columbus, Ohio) through May 27.

The 1930 PGA Championship was the 13th PGA Championship, held September 8–13 in New York City at Fresh Meadow Country Club in Flushing, Queens. Then a match play championship, Tommy Armour defeated Gene Sarazen 1 up in the finals for the second of his three major titles.

Johnny Farrell and Horton Smith were co-medalists at 145 (+5) in the 36-hole stroke play qualifier on Monday. Two-time defending champion Leo Diegel lost in the second round to Harold Sampson in 38 holes, ending his bid for a third straight title. Runner-up Sarazen was the club pro at Fresh Meadow; he previously won the PGA Championship in 1922 and 1923.

During the 36-hole Monday qualifier, Diegel shot 81 in the morning round and was in danger of not advancing to match play.  He followed up with a 69 (–1) in the afternoon and his 150 (+10) put him only five strokes behind the medalists, in a tie for 8th place, easily within the top 32. Starting in 1931, the defending champion was exempt from qualifying.

The course where this PGA Championship was played in Queens no longer exists. Designed by A. W. Tillinghast, it opened in 1923 and also hosted the U.S. Open in 1932, won by Sarazen. Under increasing development and tax pressure, the Fresh Meadow Country Club sold the property in 1946, which was developed as a residential neighborhood (the Fresh Meadows section of Queens). The club then purchased the property, clubhouse, and golf course of the defunct Lakeville Golf & Country Club in Lake Success, its current home.

Format
The match play format at the PGA Championship in 1930 called for 12 rounds (216 holes) in six days:
 Monday – 36-hole stroke play qualifier
top 32 professionals advanced to match play
 Tuesday – first round – 36 holes
 Wednesday – second round – 36 holes
 Thursday – quarterfinals – 36 holes
 Friday – semifinals – 36 holes
 Saturday – final – 36 holes

Exploring characteristics of bronze-casting molds: Novel FTIR-based approach estimates ceramic firing temperatures
February 12, 2021|Lisa McDonald

Stone Age. Bronze Age. Iron Age. This three-part paradigm for classifying the prehistory and protohistory of humanity is used frequently in schools to help students learn about technological advances in weaponry and tools. However, the emphasis on the evolution of materials used for end-use products during each period, such as ritual bronze vessels and iron nails, means students often do not learn about the manufacturing processes used to fabricate these metal objects.
Ceramic molds were used throughout the world for casting bronze pieces during the Bronze Age, from Poland to Anatolia to China. Robert Mowry, Alan J. Dworsky Curator of Chinese Art Emeritus at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum of Harvard University, explains in general how these molds worked in the video below.

Researchers have increasingly focused on these ceramic molds in recent years as a way to understand diachronic change and regional variation in metallurgical industries during that period of history. However, investigating the ancient molds can be difficult, as with any ancient ceramic, due to the historical significance of the pieces, which often rules out use of destructive test methods.
Fortunately, researchers have any array of other testing methods available to analyze ancient ceramics, including sampling microscopic pieces from the historical object, modeling, and nondestructive imaging techniques.
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is one promising technique for investigating Bronze Age ceramic molds. Irreversible transformations that occur during the firing of clays and related silicate minerals can be identified in FTIR absorption spectra, making it possible to estimate firing temperatures of the ceramics.
Specifically, thermal alteration appears most clearly in three regions of the FTIR absorption spectra: the main Si–O–Si stretching vibration band (at wavenumbers around 1,000–1,100 cm−1), the Si–O–Al bending vibration band (510–580 cm−1), and the stretching vibration band of bound hydroxyl groups (3,600–3,700 cm−1). Shifts in peak position or changes in peak shape of these three absorption bands serve as qualitative criteria used to estimate firing temperature.
"Nonetheless, estimating firing temperatures in this manner is made difficult by the fact that the position of the main Si–O–Si absorption peak—the primary temperature indicator in most FTIR studies—does not always change continuously with increasing firing temperature," researchers write in a recent open-access paper. "For many clays, the position of this peak (initially around 1030 cm−1) remains unaltered in the range of 500–800°C but shifts abruptly to higher wavenumbers (1080–1090 cm−1) once heated over 800°C."
The researchers come from the University of Science and Technology Beijing, Peking University, and the Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Heritage and Archaeology in China, in addition to a postdoctoral research fellow at the Stanford Archaeology Center in the United States. In their paper, they suggest this obstacle to estimating firing temperature can be overcome by measuring temperature-dependent changes to the strength of infrared absorption in the main Si–O–Si stretching band, "i.e., by measuring the height of the main Si–O–Si peak rather than its position."
However, the intrinsic absorptivity of the sample material cannot be inferred directly from the peak height value measured in an absorption spectrum. So the researchers developed a novel FTIR-based approach for estimating ceramic firing temperature that they call the Absorptivity Ratio Method.
"The method involves (1) adding a standard compound (potassium ferricyanide) to archaeological samples and (2) using this internal standard to quantify the intrinsic absorptivity of each archaeological sample within the region of the infrared spectrum corresponding to the main Si–O–Si stretching band. Irreversible, temperature-dependent changes in absorptivity can thereby be detected accurately and used to infer firing temperature," they explain.
The researchers used this method to estimate the firing temperature of bronze-casting ceramic molds excavated from the Nanguanwai bronze workshop at the Zhengzhou Shang City site, a capital city of the Early Shang dynasty. Mineralogical compositions of the ceramics, which date to the Early Shang period (sixteenth to fourteenth century BCE), were determined by X-ray powder diffraction.
They determined that, out of 10 total molds, seven were originally fired at 200–300°C and three at 300–400°C. They confirmed these estimates by comparing with independent estimates made via FTIR qualitative analysis, which compared favorably.
The researchers note that the estimated firing temperature values for the molds are lower than those reported by any previous study of ancient casting molds from China. This difference is likely due to the specific society from which the molds came, they state.
"It appears likely that deliberate low-temperature firing of moulds was also an essential part of the mould-making technological style of the Shang people. Evidence from bronze workshops at Anyang demonstrates the continuation and further development of this mould-making tradition into the Late Shang period," they write.
Ultimately, "These results provide important new data for understanding the development and regional variability of Bronze Age mould-making technology in China," they conclude.
The open-access paper, published in Scientific Reports, is "A new FTIR method for estimating the firing temperature of ceramic bronze-casting moulds from early China" (DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-82806-z).

Revealed: 58% of West Ham United fans want Solanke, but 42% are not interested
1 minute read 14/11/2018 | 07:42am
Not many would have predicted that West Ham United would need to dip into the transfer window again in January given that they recruited nine new faces in the summer.
However, Manuel Pellegrini has been linked to a handful of players ahead of the transfer window re-opening.
The Hammers are dealing with a few injuries in midfield, but it is up front where the club are reportedly looking to also strengthen.
According to a recent report in The Sun, the East London outfit are one of a few clubs considering a move for Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke.
The publication states that the Reds are open to offloading him on loan for the rest of the season in order to rack up some competitive minutes.
West Ham's main attacking option is Marko Arnautovic, but his back-ups, including Javier Hernandez, have struggled to deliver when called upon.
We asked you if Solanke would slot well into the Hammers' team, and there is clearly a divide, with only a small majority believing that a transfer is a good idea.

L'affaire des Irlandais de Vincennes est une affaire politique majeure du premier septennat de François Mitterrand.

Contexte

Un climat tendu après l'attentat de la rue des Rosiers
L'été 1982 en France est marqué par sept attentats terroristes, soit anonymes, soit revendiqués par Action directe ou le groupe arménien « Orly ». Le , vers 13 heures, se déroule l'attentat de la rue des Rosiers, non revendiqué : un homme jette une grenade à l'intérieur du restaurant Goldenberg puis un commando de quatre à cinq hommes descend la rue des Rosiers à Paris en tirant dans la foule. On dénombre six morts et vingt-deux blessés.

La mise en place d'une cellule anti-terroriste à l'Élysée
Pour réagir contre le terrorisme, le président de la république, François Mitterrand, crée un secrétariat d'État à la Sécurité publique confié à Joseph Franceschi, et une « mission de coordination, d'information et d'action contre le terrorisme », bientôt surnommée « cellule anti-terroriste », rattachée directement à sa personne, et dirigée par le commandant du GIGN, Christian Prouteau, qui sera ensuite également chargé de la constitution et de la direction du GSPR assurant la protection rapprochée du président François Mitterrand, de sa famille ainsi que de sa fille cachée Mazarine Pingeot.

Prouteau, promu en dehors des hiérarchies officielles, se heurte rapidement aux autres services de sécurité qui refusent de collaborer avec la cellule élyséenne, laquelle se révèle être un service opérationnel sans médiation ni contrôle. Il parvient à recruter des amis, dont trois commissaires de police : Jean Orluc, commissaire divisionnaire des Renseignements généraux, Pierre-Yves Gilleron, de la Direction de la surveillance du territoire, et Charles Pellegrini, chef de l'Office central de répression du banditisme chargé de la liaison avec la DGSE.

Les faits

Bernard Jégat, sympathisant des causes tiers-mondistes et de la cause irlandaise, héberge à Paris des membres de l'Irish National Liberation Army et leur cache des armes. Il croit reconnaître Michael Plunkett et un autre Irlandais dans les portraits-robots des tueurs diffusés par la presse. Épouvanté par cet attentat judéophobe, il va se confier à Jean Daniel, directeur du Nouvel Observateur. Ce dernier avertit le secrétaire général de l'Élysée, Jean-Louis Bianco, et confie le sujet ainsi que son informateur à deux de ses journalistes, Pierre Blanchet et Élisabeth Schemla. Cette dernière dirige Bernard Jégat vers le capitaine Paul Barril, officier en second de la cellule antiterroriste à l'Élysée, qu'elle connaît depuis quelques mois. Bernard Jégat dénonce les membres de l'IRA au capitaine Paul Barril et lui remet les armes (notamment des explosifs) ainsi que les documents qui lui avaient été confiés par Plunkett un an auparavant.

Les Irlandais logent dans un appartement de cinq pièces au 82 rue Diderot à Vincennes où demeure Michael Plunkett, soupçonné, lui et ses compagnons irlandais, d'appartenir à l'. Le , à , les membres ou anciens membres du GIGN en civil, emmenés par le capitaine Paul Barril, cernent l'appartement. Stephen King, le premier Irlandais, qui descend des escaliers pour aller faire des courses, est interpellé. Puis quelques heures plus tard les agents arrêtent Plunkett dans les escaliers alors qu'il revient à l'appartement. La troisième personne, Mary Reid, petite amie de Plunkett, est également interpellée à son retour, un enfant de neuf ans avec elle. Les trois Irlandais sont fichés par Scotland Yard comme membres de l'Irish National Liberation Army.

La perquisition qui suit l'interpellation est menée par le commandant de la brigade de gendarmerie de Vincennes, Jean-Michel Beau. Les gendarmes font une prise d'explosifs et d'armes de gros calibre, mais cette perquisition, qui a lieu en l'absence des interpellés, est entachée de nombreuses irrégularités (pas de relevé d'empreinte, des armes à feu non répertoriées, des photos floues, perquisition menée sans la présence d'un officier de police judiciaire, versions contradictoires des membres du GIGN sur l'emplacement exact des explosifs trouvés, signature des procès-verbaux par le major José Windels qui n'a pourtant pas assisté au début de la perquisition menée par les hommes de Barril).

Judiciarisation

Au cours de l'instruction judiciaire menée par le magistrat Alain Verleene, Pierre Caudan, le gendarme de la brigade de Vincennes ayant participé à la perquisition, révèle avoir reçu des ordres « afin de dissimuler un certain nombre de points » et accable Barril. Bernard Jégat affirme que Barril s'est emparé de ses explosifs pour les placer dans l'appartement de Vincennes. Les enquêtes judiciaire et journalistique mettent en évidence que, sur fond d'antagonisme entre la police et la gendarmerie, les gendarmes ont apporté eux-mêmes des explosifs dans l'appartement de Vincennes et ont tenté de maquiller les failles de leur scénario. Après neuf mois de détention sur les motifs d'inculpation de « détention illégale d'armes, de munitions et d'explosifs, recel et usage de faux documents administratifs », ainsi que d'« association de malfaiteurs », les « Irlandais de Vincennes » sont finalement libérés le . Ils bénéficient par la suite d'un non-lieu et reçoivent 1 franc de dommages et intérêts.

Le procès des gendarmes inculpés dans cette affaire s'ouvre le  devant la  du tribunal correctionnel de Paris. Le , le lieutenant-colonel Jean-Michel Beau et Christian Prouteau sont condamnés en première instance à la même peine : quinze mois de prison avec sursis, le premier pour « subornation de témoins », le second pour complicité du même délit, tandis que Jégat est condamné à quinze mois de prison avec sursis pour « détention d'armes, de munitions et d'armes explosives ». Le , Prouteau est finalement relaxé en appel (la cour estimant que le commandement effectif de l'opération était assuré par le capitaine Barril et non par le commandant du GIGN, Prouteau) alors que Jean-Michel Beau, le dénonciateur des manipulations, est condamné à un an de prison avec sursis et  francs d'amende. Le , la cour d'appel de Paris dispense de peine Jégat. Le , quelques jours avant la prescription de l'instruction, maître Antoine Comte, l'avocat de Plunkett et de Mary Reid, dépose plainte contre X pour attentat à la liberté et faux en écritures publiques, mettant en cause Barril. Le juge Yves Madre de Versailles mène l'instruction pendant plusieurs années et met en examen Barril le  pour « atteinte à la liberté individuelle ». Le , la chambre d'instruction de la cour d'appel de Versailles annule l'ensemble de la procédure, en raison d'un paiement de caution hors délai, estimant par conséquent que la plainte de 1992 est irrecevable ; Paul Barril échappe ainsi à toute poursuite.

Postérité
Cette affaire fait grand bruit au début du premier mandat de François Mitterrand, notamment du fait que le président nouvellement élu avait fait appel aux gendarmes du GIGN pour composer sa garde présidentielle, contrairement à ses prédécesseurs, qui employaient des policiers. L'affaire des « Irlandais de Vincennes » est donc devenue celle des « gendarmes de l'Élysée ».

Home | Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience | News, Events & Engagement | News stories | Report finds scale and cost of dementia escalates
Dementia UK: The Second Edition, prepared by King's College London and the London School of Economics for the Alzheimer's Society, finds that the cost of dementia to the UK has hit £26 billion a year and that people with dementia, their carers and families shoulder two-thirds of the cost themselves. The charity calls for the government to end the artificial divide between health and social care which unfairly disadvantages people with dementia.
The report is the most comprehensive review of dementia costs and prevalence in the UK to date. It reveals how people with dementia and their carers foot a £5.8 billion social care bill for help with everyday tasks such as washing and dressing. The 1.3 billion hours of unpaid care that carers, usually spouses or adult children, provide would cost the state £11.6 billion if they did not provide it for free. Meanwhile the current cost of dementia diagnosis and treatment to the NHS comes in at £4.3 billion and local authorities pick up a further £4.5 billion.
The new research also reveals that numbers of those affected by dementia is escalating. By 2015 there will be 850,000 people living with dementia and if current trends stay the same and no action is taken, this number is expected to bypass two million by 2051.
Professor Martin Prince, Professor of Epidemiological Psychiatry and Head of the Department of Health Service and Population Research at King's said:
'This report highlights that the numbers of people with dementia now needing care and support already pose a significant challenge for health and social care, government and society. Their needs will only be met through concerted and focused attention. The scale of the future dementia epidemic in the UK can probably be limited through more attention to prevention - our progress towards achieving healthier brain ageing needs to be monitored in regular national surveys.'
In addition to Dementia UK, Alzheimer's Society has published Dementia 2014: An Opportunity for Change which provides a snapshot of how well people with dementia are living in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It draws together evidence from a survey of over 1,000 people with dementia. Key findings include:
Just over half of people with dementia (58 per cent), reported to be living well
Nearly two-thirds (61 per cent) said they had felt anxious or depressed recently
7 out of 10 people were living with another medical condition or disability as well as dementia
Of those looked after by a carer, 43 per cent said their carer received no help with their caring role
Jeremy Hughes, Chief Executive of Alzheimer's Society, said:
'This new research exposes the staggering financial and human impact of dementia. It is plain to see that our social care system is on its knees, leaving an army of tens of thousands of unpaid carers bearing the brunt. If you have cancer or heart disease you can quite rightly expect that the care you need will be free. That is just not the case for people with dementia.'
Alzheimer's Society is calling for:
A 66 per cent dementia diagnosis rate across all areas so that people do not miss out on the support currently available – with a commitment now to reach 75 per cent by 2017
No one to wait longer than 12 weeks from seeing their GP to diagnosis
A guarantee that everyone has access to a Dementia Adviser or equivalent following a diagnosis to help them live as well as possible at all stages of the condition
Martin Knapp, LSE Professor of Social Policy, said:
"The cost of dementia is high, but the key question is what does that cost buy? We need to make sure that people with dementia and their carers get effective and cost-effective treatment, care and support."

New research led by King's College London suggests that many women under 30 with cervical cancer are diagnosed more than 3 months after first having symptoms. In many cases this was because they did not recognise the symptoms as serious.
The Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London has today pledged its support to the #FundaMentalSDG initiative aiming to include a specific mental health target in the post-2015 development agenda.
Veena Kumari, Professor of Experimental Psychology at King's College London has been awarded the prestigious Humboldt Award in recognition of a lifetime of achievements in research.
