What is the population in Southeast Asia?
South-Eastern Asia Population (LIVE) The current population of South-Eastern Asia is 675,738,999 as of Sunday, August 1, 2021, based on the latest United Nations estimates. South-Eastern Asia population is equivalent to 8.58% of the total world population.
What percent of the world population is South Asia?
Southern Asia population is equivalent to 24.89% of the total world population.
Why is East Asia so populated?
According to the World Bank, the aging population and low fertility rates are to blame for the increase in population as 36 percent of the world's population over 65 currently live in East Asia. The World Bank projects that the 211 million people living in East Asia will rise over time.
Which country has the oldest average population in East Asia?
Median age East Asia 2020 by country or region In 2020, the median age of the population in Japan was 48.4 years old, which was the highest median age throughout East Asia. Comparatively, the median age of the population in Mongolia was just over 28 years old in 2020.

Are Filipinos Asians?
Officially, of course, Filipinos are categorized as Asians and the Philippines as part of Southeast Asia. But describing Filipinos as Pacific Islanders isn't necessarily wrong either. In fact, for a long time, Filipinos were known as Pacific Islanders.
Which is the smallest country in Southeast Asia?
The Republic of Singapore is the smallest country in southeast Asia. It covers only 272 square miles (707 square kilometers) of land.
Why is South Asia so poor?
According to Canuto (2013), higher poverty rates and the large share of the poor in South Asia are driven mainly by region-wide political unrest. In fact, political tension and civil wars are common in most South Asian countries, meaning such turmoil reduces the effectiveness of a country's anti-poverty policies.
Why is East Asia so successful?
Major growth factors have ranged from favorable political and legal environments for industry and commerce, through abundant natural resources, to plentiful supplies of relatively low-cost, skilled, and adaptable labor. The region's economic success has led the World Bank to dub it an East Asian Renaissance.
Why is China overpopulated?
Overpopulation in China began after World War II in 1949, when Chinese families were encouraged to have as many children as possible in hopes of bringing more money to the country, building a better army, and producing more food.
What are the four major religions in East Asia?
To provide an introduction to China and Japan's four major religions: Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, and Shinto. Buddhism is a religion based on the teachings of Siddartha Gautama, an Indian prince who lived in the 6th century BCE.

A very rare group of over 400 rule maker's marks or stamps from the Aston family workshops of Birmingham. Members of the Aston family had been making rules in Birmingham from the late 1700s up until 1897 when Thomas Aston & Sons was taken over by I & D Smallwood.
This collection includes the Thomas Aston (makers between 1818 – 1897) and John Aston name stamps (makers between 1854 – 1882) plus the Heneage Street address stamp of Thomas Aston & Sons.
In addition to the graduation marks shown above, the collection has over 100 number and letter marks, various fractions, what are believed to be Routledge scale table marks plus a large variety of other rule marks which can be seen on the following images. These are shown in black and white to aid clarity.
One very interesting part of this collection is the inclusion of over 150 name and address marks relating to tool makers, tool dealers, ironmongers and instrument makers of the 19th century indicating that Aston were also making and marking rules for other businesses in both the United Kingdom and Europe. For example: A.BELL, A COUTTS, J.KNIGHT, BEATTIE, J.LEON, A.MACKIE, REUSS & CO etc.
Apart from the rule making interest it is certainly worth highlighting the skill of the mark maker. These marks are all hand made with few basic tools such as hammers, punches and files. Unlike the more common owner's stamps, rule maker's marks are filed to an edge so that the wood grain is cut rather than crushed, ensuring crisp and clear markings. Consider the skill and accuracy required when the majority of these marks are both tiny and also have serifs!
I have been informed that the techniques of the mark maker's were closely guarded within the trade but I do believe there is a short film, made by the late Ken Hawley and held at the Hawley Collection in Sheffield – www.hawleytoolcollection.com, that sheds at least some light on the process.
A wonderful and rare collection.

Man arrested 'on suspicion of terrorist offences' after car crash outside UK Parliament – CBC.ca
Three people were injured when a car drove into security barriers outside the British Parliament on Tuesday and the driver has been arrested.
Counterterrorism police are leading the investigation.
It's believed none of those hurt suffered serious injuries.
Police said they were treating the 7:37 a.m. local time incident as terrorism related and that the driver, who is in his late 20s, was in custody at a south London police station.
"He was arrested on suspicion of terrorist offences," the Metropolitan Police said in a statement. "There was nobody else in the vehicle, which remains at the scene and is being searched. No weapons have been recovered at this stage."
The Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command is investigating an incident in #Westminster this morning during which a number of people were injured. Keep following @metpoliceuk for updates. https://t.co/mcyVXyiOPi

Earlier, police said the male driver had been arrested at the scene of the crash.
The suspect isn't co-operating with police, London's assistant police commissioner, Neil Basu, told reporters. Basu said no other suspects had been identified and there is no "intelligence" of further danger to London.
"Our priority now is to formally establish the identity of the suspect and establish his motivation if we can."

Witness Jason Williams said the car had struck a barrier on a lane used for access to the Parliament building with force. He said he thought it was deliberate.
"It's a very serious incident," he told reporters. "There was smoke coming from the vehicle."

Images shot by a Euronews journalist showed police pointing their guns at a vehicle. Footage on social media showed a handcuffed man being led away by heavily armed police. Other footage showed a cyclist lying on the street.
"I saw the cyclists, injured cyclists. I've seen people, about 10, on the road, lying down, but I haven't seen any fatalities," Williams said.
London's Ambulance Service said it had treated two people for injuries at the scene and they had been taken to hospital. A third person with minor injuries was "assessed" at the site of the crash.

Westminster Underground station, which is close to Parliament, was closed to the public and the building cordoned off.
Parliament is in summer recess and most lawmakers are not using the building. Prime Minister Theresa May is on holiday abroad.

In March 2017, Khalid Masood, 52, killed four people on nearby Westminster Bridge before he stabbed to death an unarmed police officer in the grounds of Parliament. He was shot dead at the scene.
Britain is on its second highest threat level of "severe," meaning an attack by militants is considered highly likely.
Last week, a Muslim convert admitted plotting to kill more than 100 people by driving a truck into pedestrians on London's Oxford Street, the capital's major shopping thoroughfare.
In October last year, 11 people were injured when a car collided with pedestrians near London's Natural History Museum, raising fears of an attack, but police later said the incident was a road traffic accident.

Q: Using a dynamically sized set of rows with inputs in AngularJS My data model is something like the following
records
└─ record
   └─ id: 0
   └─ name: "Foo"
   └─ property: true
└─ record
   └─ id: 1
   └─ name: "Bar"
   └─ property: false
└─ record
   └─ id: 2
   └─ name: "Baz"
   └─ property: true

And I want to create a user interface to it using something like the following:

  <input type="hidden" value="0"></input>
  <input type="text" value="Foo"></input>
  <input type="checkbox" checked></input>
  <button>Remove</button>

...

I am using angular for my project, and the code snippet I have is

    <input type="hidden" ng-model="id"></input>
    <input type="text" ng-model="name"></input>
    <input type="checkbox" ng-model="property"></input>
    <button ng-click="remove()">Remove</button>

with the following controllers:
angular.module('mymodule', [])
.controller('ThingsController', function($scope) {

  $scope.things = [{
    id: 0,
    name: "Foo"
    property: true
  }, {
    id: 1,
    name: "Bar"
    property: false
  }, {
    id: 2,
    name: "Baz"
    property: true
  }];

  $scope.remove = function(idx) {
    $scope.things.splice(idx, 1);
  };

  $scope.add = function() {
    $scope.things.push({
      id: $scope.things.length,
      name: 'Placeholder',
      property: true
    });
  };
})

.controller('ThingController', function($scope) {

  $scope.remove = function() {
    $scope.$parent.remove($scope.$index);
  };
});

This code doesn't work - a new set of input fields are created when we push to ng-repeat, but the models are not connected up correctly. When I inspect the situation, I see that there are actually 2 scopes, one for the ng-repeat and within this another for the ng-controller.
My question is: what am I doing wrong? Do I need to not use a new controller? Does anyone use this pattern to create variable length forms?

A: When accessing the object inside the ng-repeat, you have to use like thing.id, think.name, think.property and so on.

    <input type="hidden" ng-model="thing.id"></input>
    <input type="text" ng-model="thing.name"></input>
    <input type="checkbox" ng-model="thing.property"></input>
    <button ng-click="remove($index)">Remove</button>

and place your remove function inside your ThingsController
$scope.remove = function(index) {
    $scope.things.splice(index, 1);
};

You really do not need ThingController.

Oundjian explores "Also sprach Zarathustra" with Nietzsche expert
Karsten Harries, left, and Peter Oundjian
Peter Oundjian has conducted Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra many times. Never, though, has he dived so deep into Nietzsche's text, which inspired the tone poem. "It's a very rare thing to have the opportunity to speak with someone who's lived with Nietzsche your entire life," he said to Karsten Harries on Saturday, during a discussion at Harries' Hamden home. Harries, the recently retired Howard H. Newman Professor of Philosophy at Yale (Harries is also a Yale alumnus and now Professor Emeritus), taught courses on Nietzsche, among others, and on the philosophy of art and architecture. He is also impressively well-versed in music.
In program notes for the work's 1896 premiere in Frankfurt, Strauss wrote: "I did not intend to write philosophical music or to portray in music Nietzsche's great work."
"He chose which passages would suit his tone poem," Oundjian, Principal Conductor of the Yale Philharmonia, said, paging through his score.
"There is a clear intellectual progression," Harries said, a German-language copy of Nietzsche's text in-hand. "He bends the Nietzsche text to his own ends." Strauss, Harries pointed out, studied philosophy, aesthetics, and art history in Munich.
With a performance of Also sprach Zarathustra playing, Oundjian and Harries analyzed the music alongside Nietzsche's text, discussing the notion of eternal recurrence—the idea that "time is a circle," Harries said, paraphrasing from Zarathustra—and other elements of Nietzsche's autobiographical narrative.
"It sounds completely like Wagner," Oundjian said of the second section ("Von den Hinterweltlern") of Strauss' tone poem.
"Strauss is looking back," knowing he has to distance himself from that, Harries said. "He thinks of Wagner as the Hinterweltlern (the "backworld")." Similarly, Harries said, "Nietzsche clearly struggles with his proximity to Wagner."
Just as the past is reflected in Strauss' Zarathustra, the present and the future, and the conflict inherent in living with both in mind, is of importance in both Strauss' and Nietzsche's work. "To be human is to be open to the future," Harries said. Joy, though, is only available in the present. To be human is also to engage with "the rabble," he said, referring to Zarathustra's descent from the mountaintop. Nietzsche's famous line "God is dead" marks Zarathustra's arrival at humanity.
As the recorded performance of Zarathustra arrived at "Das Tanzlied," Harries gave Oundjian something to think about. While the music seems to offer a nod to the waltzes of Johann Strauss II (no relation), Harries dismissed that analysis. "I see very much the alpine element and the beer-hall element," he said. Decades before he composed Zarathustra, Richard Strauss' Alpine Symphony had captured his fascination with the mountains. As for beer, Strauss' mother, Josephine, was part of the Pschorr (now Hacker-Pschorr) beer-making family in Munich. Oundjian hadn't made those connections. Harries' opinion, Oundjian said, was a "complete enlightenment for me."
As the recorded performance came to an end, Oundjian, conducting the music (something Harries had said seemed a difficult undertaking), remarked, noting Strauss' harmonic manipulations, "He can't resist being a genius."
Earlier in the conversation, Oundjian had asked Harries, somewhat rhetorically and pointing to the Zarathustra text, "Is it possible that he could express all this musically?"
"I would argue that he was a very astute reader of Nietzsche," Harries said.
Principal Conductor Peter Oundjian leads the Yale Philharmonia in a performance of Strauss' Nietzsche-inspired tone poem, Also sprach Zarathustra, and Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 15, with Woolsey Hall Concerto Competition winner Sophiko Simsive '18MM '19MMA, on Thursday, Nov. 15, in Woolsey Hall.

Asked about Brahms' First Piano Concerto, which she will perform with the Yale Philharmonia on Thursday, Nov. 15, Sophiko Simsive '18MM '19MMA does not get into musical details. "I've been trying to think in a more abstract way," she said, explaining, "I like to relate to pieces on a personal level." Simsive described herself as "a musician that always tries to identify the emotion in a piece" and wants the audience to feel that though her performance. "I feel very strongly about this piece," she said. "I want to bring out my personality and I'm trying to bring out the story I'm trying to tell with it."
While Simsive has long been familiar with the concerto, it was not until she played a piano arrangement of the orchestra part, for a March 2017 recital here at YSM by Dong Won Lee '18MM, that she started "thinking deep and really getting my hands on" the piece.
Just hours removed from her first rehearsal with the Philharmonia, Simsive said, "I feel very much part of the orchestra." Thursday's concert in Woolsey Hall, she said, will be a high point of her time here at Yale, largely because she will be performing alongside colleagues. "I feel completely like I'm playing at home," she said.
At the first rehearsal, Simsive said a few words to members of the Philharmonia. "I felt so grateful for the opportunity to play with the Yale Philharmonia. I wanted to let them know that for me it felt like playing chamber music with each and every one of them." Simsive has worked with many musicians in the YSM community and pointed out that she played piano, celeste, and organ as a member of the Philharmonia in September.
As the soloist on Thursday's concert, Simsive is looking forward to sharing a bit of herself with the Woolsey Hall audience. "I can tell a lot of different stories," she said, "but they have to feel something—and that something is my life at Yale."
Woolsey Hall Concerto Competition winner Sophiko Simsive '18MM '19MMA will perform Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 15, with the Yale Philharmonia on Thursday, Nov. 15, at 7:30 p.m., in Woolsey Hall. The program also includes Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra.

why did it have to stop raining?
It rises, vertically, to the top of the pine.
Where it flutters its wings in silence, perched.
Rain. The pacifier back to the fretful mouth.
–which is to say, it's almost an attitude.
that way, with their arms outstretched.
The rest of the plaza is pure sun.
to perceive this moment exactly as it is.
nothing is picturesque, no more fodder for poetry.
that rattle is a penguin!
with the recognizability of certain faces.
and the water is boiling over.
although the first worked just fine.
I want my life to be impossibly simple.
I didn't come up with that myself; it's a quote.

The next treatment on my quest is: Non Surgical Plasma Facelift - Treatment Number #4.
New to Bella Beauty: The non-surgical plasma facelift - more commonly known as the plasma wrinkle reducer.
This amazing new treatment is a non-invasive facelift procedure that makes micromillimeter holes in the excess skin, using a plasma pen, creating collagen to repair and lift the skin cells in any area naturally.
It is perfect for hooded eyelids, eye bags, smoker's lines, crows feet, excess skin on the chin and neck, and stretch marks.
The results are instant and is the only treatment guaranteed to successfully shrink excess skin without going under the knife.
This was my fourth and final treatment of a four-treatment plan. I was so glad to finally reach the finish line.
It's not been easy. I won't pretend. But it has so been worth every little zinger from that plasma gun! And let's just say, it's not exactly like being licked by kittens!
I've laughed, I've cried, I've looked battered, swollen and bruised. I would have frightened small children had I come in contact with them. And at times I didn't even recognise myself!
But in the words of the accompanying soundtrack, Destiny's Child: Survivor - I'm a survivor!
I made it through all four treatments, with my dignity intact (just)! And I can confidently say that Sharon has transformed my face. I now look 10 years younger and those pesky little laughter lines and wrinkles have been banished for a good few years at least!


Given the Sandy Hook Elementary School killings, the shootings at a supermarket near Tucson, the pleas for gun control legislation by the parents of the Sandy Hook victims, and the testimony by for Representative Gabrielle Giffords, victim of the supermarket shootings, you would think that reasonable gun control legislation would likely pass in the U.S. Senate. Regrettably, it is not to be.
Legislation strengthening background checks — supported by 90 percent of Americans — has been defeated in the Senate 54 to 46.
The ban on dozens of military-style assault weapons was also defeated by a vote of 40 to 60; a bipartisan amendment to stiffen penalties for "straw purchasers," 58 to 42; and an amendment to limit the size of ammunition magazines, 54-46.
It was a shameful moment in the Senate. Failed gun control legislation has again fallen victim to the tyranny of the minority.
Then again, any gun control legislation would have faced an uncertain future in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Except for the proposed assault weapons ban, the remaining gun control legislation received a majority in the Senate. Why then didn't they pass? Because the Senate failed to reform its filibuster rule and as long as the filibuster rule stands, gun control, or any legislation for that matter, can be defeated by a minority — 41 votes — or never even come to a vote.
As majority leader, Senator Reid set the rules of the Senate prior to the current term of Congress. However, he allowed the super majority requirement — 60 votes — prior to any meaningful vote to stand and, as a result, preserved the threat of a filibuster, stating, "I'm not personally, at this stage, ready to get rid of the 60-vote threshold… With the history of the Senate, we have to understand the Senate isn't and shouldn't be like the House." Thus, Senator Reid bears much responsibility for the defeat of pending gun control legislation in the Senate.
What is the U.S. Senate filibuster rule anyway? It usually refers to any dilatory or obstructive tactics used to prevent a measure from being brought to a vote. Senate Rule XXII permits a senator, or a series of senators, to speak for as long as they wish and on any topic they choose, and unless "three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn" (usually 60 out of 100 senators) brings debate to a close by invoking cloture. In recent years, the majority has preferred to avoid filibusters by moving to other business when a filibuster is threatened and attempts to achieve cloture have failed.
Until members of Congress are penalized at election time for opposing gun control legislation, senators, fearful of the National Rifle Association, will likely continue to use the filibuster rule to doom any future gun control legislation in the Senate.
Comments for Tyranny of the Minority Sinks Meaningful Gun Control Legislation are now closed.
I think you mean the rights of the minority….
As opposed to a tyranny of the majority? The WSJ has a very good article on why it failed, and it had to do with the White House not wanting any debate or amendments offered. No one wants dangerous people to get guns, not even the gun manufacturers or the NRA that the left find as an easy target. There may be improvements that could be made to the background check system, but it's going to take getting more than 2 senators in a back room to come up with it. Have the bill vetted by lawyers who KNOW the gun laws, give the public time to digest it, and we might agree on something. Springing a bill out of the box and insisting on a vote immediately is not the way to pass good legislation.
A few good men stand up to an assault on the Bill of Rights and you, a veteran, dare call it the tyranny of the minority?
What you don't seem to understand is that basic rights aren't subject to majority opinion. California voters, for example, enacted a ban on gay marriage, and I see that as wrong. I view gun control in the same light.


As 2018 begins, a lot of us have started getting back to thinking about our health! With that, it's important to be reading food labels and figuring out which foods and drinks to buy. Before going to the store, I love making lists… I used to grab whatever looks healthiest and never looked at the labels to find out what was in it. Big NO… Double checking labels is so important! I actually found out last month my favorite turkey slices are filled with sodium nitrates. I threw the package away and am the better for it.
Remember, what we eat is either helping feed disease or fight it. We have the power to change.
We know it's hard to always avoid ingesting these common but toxic additives all the time, so we'd love to help your body release them through healthy cleanses, colon hydrotherapy, or infrared sauna.

The holidays are fast approaching as we enter the last few weeks of October. Most people don't take the time to plan out their meals and stay on track with their health. Remember, health is wealth and feelings are fickle! Thanksgiving shouldn't be a week-long indulgence, but a one-day indulgence. Our focus should be on the fun, and not so much on food. There are a lot of ways to stay on track during the month of November!
Elizabeth makes black-bean brownies that can be a delicious addition to your holiday indulgence.
The importance of eating healthy cannot be stressed enough. When we eat good, we feel good! Eating the right fruits and vegetables is important in getting our daily dose of vitamins and minerals and replenishing the cells in our body. The foods we eat will either build us up, or break us down. While it may be different for everyone, most people will say they feel much better after a plate of salad, roasted vegetables, and chicken, fish or steak than ones with processed meats or dairy.
These are just a few ideas, and ones that work for me. Also, when I'm in a rush, I'll grab a protein bar from our shelf for extra protein and it's gets me through until my next meal!
I used to walk in fear of fats! Butter, oils, anything that had high fat and calories… I was afraid. A lot of people are afraid of fats… You shouldn't be! Healthy fats, like omega-3 EFAs in flax oil, salmon, pumpkin seeds, fish oils, and walnuts will help nourish you (both physically and mentally). To me, it's like BRAIN FOOD.
Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid, a healthy fat, that your body uses to support a range of bodily processes such as the immune system, mood management, cholesterol regulation, and more.
I put flax oil in my smoothies every morning, and notice a huge difference in my day! I'm able to come across clearer to people, work better, and feel a real difference in my work day.
One definition of eclipse according to Webster dictionary is a loss of power or success.
Today, August 21, 2017, will be a total eclipse when the sun looks like it is completely covered with a dark circle because the moon is between the sun and Earth.
Let's view the SUN as our power source of healing, life, and vitality; the EARTH, as the human body that knows how to heal itself, and the MOON as the thing that gets in the way of healing. The MOON could represent microbes like bacteria, candida, viral, parasites, or chemical/metals which are creating a loss of power and successful system functioning… What can we do to remove the damaging effects of the MOON blockage? Eat proper ratios of protein, carbs, and fats! Eat low processed foods, drink half your body weight in ounces of water daily, and find out what the blocks of vitality are. One of the things I've been called to do is finding the hidden causes of eclipses so the SUN can get its full glow to the EARTH. The effects of removing the MOON will be vitality and fullness of life because the EARTH knows how to heal itself when given the right raw materials in the correct environment.
Next to oxygen and water, food is the most important element you actively bring into your body in order to live life. The quality and quantity of your life is directly related to the quality of the food fuel you put in it as well as how well you digest it. Eating has potential to give us multiple positive experiences like: fuel for living, taste explosions to the palate, celebrations of life events and fellowship with others. Contrary to those are potential negative experiences with eating like bloating, gas, fatigue, constipation, diarrhea, or heartburn.
Balanced eating includes a healthy ratio of proteins, quality carbohydrates and healthy fats. Traditional Mediterranean diets have been studied for years showing those who eat this way have a decreased tendency toward cardiovascular disease and blood sugar-related conditions as well as generally living a longer, healthier, and more active life.
A low glycemic intake of foods will help balance blood sugar levels and curb unhealthy cravings as wells as support sustained energy.
Take a deep relaxing breath and allow thankfulness to come in before you bring food into your body. Savor and connect with your body's fuel as you allow yourself to be aware of how you are feeling in the moments of eating or preparing nourishment. Eating and preparing meals should feel adventuresome and gratifying. Be sure you enjoy meals often with family and friends rather than alone in front of a media sources.
Skipping breakfast or any other meal is like making your car to drive on empty. It may go a little while but then stop in the middle of the road. Eating every 3-4 hours' smaller meals allows 5 pit stops for fuel intake that allow for a full day's drive without running out of gas.
Consume pure water and minimally processed foods: nuts, whole grains, and produce. When every possible purchase organic fruits and vegetables, antibiotic/hormone free proteins, and wild caught fish.
Determining serving sizes can be easy when eating from a box or a bag of food. You may be surprised to find out you've been consuming well beyond 1 or 2 servings in one sitting as you go through mindless eating. A serving size of almonds is 12-14 while walnuts are 7-8 halves.
The body digests food when the autonomic nervous system is in the parasympathetic state = rest + digest. The opposite of that is sympathic state = fight or flight. This means leaves all arguments, stressful work and negative thoughts away from the eating area. It's important to be purposeful in creating a peaceful environment when breaking bread with others or by yourself.
These are must haves in our pantry both at the office and at home!
A meal packed with fresh vegetables with a dash of this and a sprinkle of that can make all the difference in the world.
While quinoa is usually considered to be a whole grain, it is actually a seed, but can be prepared like whole grains such as rice or barley. Try a quinoa salad recipe, or serve a vegetable stir fry, over cooked quinoa instead of rice. Quinoa is my favorite whole grain for three reasons: First, it takes less time to cook than other whole grains – just 10 to 15 minutes. Second, quinoa tastes great on its own, unlike other grains such as millet or teff. Add a bit of olive oil, sea salt and lemon juice and – yum! Finally, of all the whole grains, quinoa has the highest protein content, so it's perfect for vegetarians and vegans. Quinoa provides all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. Quinoa is a gluten-free and cholesterol-free whole grain, is kosher, and is almost always organic.
Culinary ethnologists will be interested to know that quinoa was a staple food for thousands of years in the Andes region of South America as one of just a few crops the ancient Incas cultivated at such high altitude.

What is tahini? Tahini is a ground sesame seed paste, similar to peanut butter. It is a creamy, oily, and smooth nut butter rich in calcium.Think peanut butter, only made with sesame seeds. To make tahini, sesame seeds are soaked in water for a day, then crushed to separate the bran from the kernels. The crushed seeds are put into a salted water, where the bran sinks, but the kernels float and are skimmed off the surface. They are toasted, then ground to produce their oily paste.
Look for tahini in a glass jar or a can, and sometimes in a powdered, dehydrated form in health food stores, or in the ethnic foods aisle of your regular grocery store. Tahini is great in hummus, tuna salad, chicken salad, salad dressings and soups, spreads, cookies and much more!

What are the different types of Rice?
Basmati has the lowest glycemic load of all rice.
Brown Rice- is chewier and heartier than white rice. It has a lower glycemic load than white rice.
Long-grain rice contains less starch so the cooked grains are drier and more separate.
Short-grain rice is very starchy and cooks up soft and sticky. Commonly seen in sushi, paella and risotto.
Basmati, Trader Joe's Basmati Medley, or Lundberg Wild Blend for meals topped with veggies, and beans or chicken. We even use these rices in our soups!

Grains today are a lot different from grains of the past. Many are hybrid forms and/or go through chemical processing denaturing the grains. These reasons may play into the wheat/gluten sensitivity and celiac disease that is growing more and more every day.
Why are people so sensitive to GLUTEN?
Poor eating habits that lead to digestive issues can result in a lack of ability to properly digest the proteins in gluten and other grains. Over time, the villi (little finger like extensions in the small intestines) can become damaged from chronic poor digestion resulting in malnourishment and leaky gut syndrome.
What are some GLUTEN-FREE flours?
Why is GLUTEN used in so many products?
It helps baking products to rise and helps items stick together.

Expo Zaragoza 2008
The Expo 2008 site is located on the meander of Ranillas, on a surface of 25 hectares, next to a new 120 hectare park.
Beyond the fare of this three-month event, the Expo has brought with it the transformation of Zaragoza and its coming out on the competitive map of Spanish and European cities. To the city's introduction as a logistic platform in the centre of gravity of Spain's richest area, the tourism that these kinds of events draw can also be added.
In a recent interview, mayor Juan Alberto Belloch proudly stated that because of the Expo, "five Guggenheims" would be opened in Zaragoza, referring to the architectural appeal and magnetic power of five of the works built on the site. We're not sure if the five works that the mayor refers to can or should be compared to Bilbao's museum, but in any case, we visited them and have included the ones that we feel are most relevant.
In future issues, we will show the Conference Centre of Aragon, the Bridge Pavilion, and the Spain Pavilion on the Expo site, as well as the Water Park on the adjoining land. In addition, we will shed light on a "sixth Guggenheim," unnoticed in the noise of the celebration, but that has undoubtedly changed the relationship of Zaragoza's citizens and their river. This is the recovery of the banks of the Ebro as a pedestrian promenade, a modest and silent work that links to the public spaces of the Expo, but which has, along both sides of the river, returned the experience of the river to citizens and has connected the neighbourhoods of Zaragoza to its historic centre.
The Conference Centre of Aragon, by Fuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobejano, is its section, which, extruded, draws a fractured profile on the Expo site, on a similar exercise to the Bagsvaerd Church by Jorn Utzon. It holds two main areas (the exhibition areas and an auditorium to seat 1500 people) connected by a common lobby. The auditorium was conceived to be able to make stalls and mezzanine independent, which would create two areas, useful for smaller-scale conferences. The exhibition area is reached independently, which will allow its use for different exhibitions at the same time. A group of modular rooms, laid out on several floors, complement the public building.

Getting you the right drug at the right dose at the right time is the goal of pharmacogenomics, which involves studying how your specific DNA sequence influences your response to medications.
The drugs available today to treat cancer, heart disease and other conditions are powerful agents that work as intended in most patients. Yet, in some people, a particular drug at the standard dose might not work well enough or may even trigger a serious adverse reaction. The reasons for this lie in your genes.
By using your unique genetic makeup as a factor when prescribing a drug for you, your doctor can maximize treatment effectiveness while avoiding potentially life-threatening side effects.
Why does standard chemotherapy eradicate breast cancer in some women but work less effectively in other women?
Can we find new treatment options for men with advanced prostate cancer that has resisted all previous therapies?
What is the right blood thinner drug for patients who get a stent for their coronary artery disease?

Monitor I (Ironclad Monitor)
Ship History
Civil War 1861-1865
An individual who warns or instructs. John Ericsson suggested the name in the hopes that his novel warship would admonish the Confederacy as well as Great Britain, the latter sympathetic to the Southern States.
(Monitor: tonnage 987; displacement 11'4"; length 172'; beam 41'6"; draft 10'6"; complement 47; armament 2 11-inch Dahlgren smoothbores; class Monitor)
The prime contract for construction of Monitor was awarded to her designer John Ericsson on 4 October 1861. Construction of her hull was subcontracted to the Continental Iron Works at Green Point, Long Island; fabrication of her engines was delegated to Delamater & Co., New York City; and the building of her turret, composed of eight layers of 1-inch iron plates, was assigned to Novelty Iron Works, also of New York City. The first ironclad in the U.S. Navy —was launched on 30 January 1862; and commissioned on 25 February 1862, Lt. John L. Worden in command.
The ironclad departed New York Navy Yard on 27 February 1862, but a steering failure caused her to return to port. On 6 March, she again departed the New York Navy Yard, though this time she was under tow by Seth Low, and headed for the Virginia capes.
As Monitor approached Cape Henry on the afternoon of 8 March 1862, CSS Virginia, the former U.S. steam frigate Merrimack rebuilt as an ironclad ram— steamed out of the Elizabeth River into Hampton Roads and attacked the wooden hulled Union warships blockading Norfolk. Flag Officer Franklin Buchanan, the Confederate commander, singled out sailing sloop Cumberland as his first victim.
Virginia opened the engagement when less than a mile distant from Cumberland and the firing became general from blockaders and shore batteries, but most shots from the Union guns glanced harmlessly off the Confederate ironclad's slanted sides. Virginia rammed Cumberland below the waterline and the latter sank rapidly. Buchanan later reported the Union sailors remained "gallantly fighting her guns as long as they were above water." Buchanan next turned Virginia's attention on the frigate Congress, which had run hard aground while attempting to close, and then set her ablaze with hot shot and incendiary shell. She also damaged Minnesota before retiring to Sewell's Point for the night.
Monitor's crew could hear the roar of cannon as they rounded Cape Henry into Chesapeake Bay and headed toward the scene of battle. But all was quiet when she hove to alongside Roanoke. Captain Marston directed Worden to assist battered Minnesota, hard aground off Newport News.
At dawn on 9 march 1862, Virginia again emerged and headed toward Minnesota to administer the coup de grace. Monitor steamed out of Minnesota's shadow to intercept the Confederate ironclad ram. A Confederate officer on CSS Patrick Henry, one of Virginia's paddle wheel consorts, described the Union challenger as "an immense shingle floating on the water with a gigantic cheese box rising from its center; no sails, no wheels, no smokestack, no guns." The unusual federal vessel, however, soon won the respect of friend and foe alike, fighting the Confederate ironclad to a standstill in an exhausting four-hour duel. With both warships damaged and running low on shot, Virginia retired to Sewell's Point after failing to break the Federal blockade.
In the weeks that followed, Monitor remained alert in Hampton Roads ready to renew the engagement should Virginia venture forth. The southern ram did make a brief appearance off Sewell's Point on 11 April 1862, but neither side forced a second engagement between the two vessels. Early in May, while General George B. McClellan pushed through Yorktown and up the peninsula toward Richmond, the South withdrew from Norfolk and the southern bank of the James River, retiring toward the Confederate capital. Virginia, with too deep a draft to reach Richmond, was set afire on 11 May and blew up soon thereafter.
Monitor, reinforced by ironclads Galena and Naugatuck, steamed up the James to gather information for McClellan and to strengthen the Union Army's left flank. On 15 May 1862, however, when they reached Drury's Bluff some eight miles below the southern capital, their progress was stopped by obstructions across the channel. Confederate riflemen fired on the Union ships from both shores and heavy naval guns mounted high on the cliff shelled them from an angle which minimized the effectiveness of their armor. Although Monitor moved up to protect the heavily damaged Galena, her crew was unable to elevate her guns to hit the shore batteries, and so the ironclads retreated downstream.
Although checked in their thrust toward Richmond, the Union ships continued to provide McClellan with gunfire support. After his defeat by General Robert E. Lee in the Seven Days Campaign, their guns helped save the Army of the Potomac from annihilation.
At midsummer, Monitor helped cover the Union Army as it retired from the peninsula to shift operations back to northern Virginia. Thereafter, she performed blockade duty in Hampton Roads until ordered on Christmas Eve to proceed to North Carolina for operations against Wilmington. Towed by Rhode Island, she departed the Virginia capes on 29 December for Beaufort, but the historic warship foundered in a storm off Cape Hatteras shortly after midnight on 31 December. Four officers and 12 men went down with Monitor.
The wreckage of the ironclad was discovered in 1973 by a team of scientists from Duke University, the State of North Carolina, and the Massachusetts Institute Technology. As part of a series of marine sanctuary laws passed by the U.S. Congress, the site of the wreck was designated a National Marine Sanctuary on 30 January 1975 and placed under the protection of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Owing to deterioration of the wreck from storm and other damage, some artifacts— such as the propeller shaft and hull plates— were later recovered for historic preservation. Starting in March 2001, a five month long expedition involving NOAA, the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit Two (MDSU TWO) and The Mariners' Museum, raised the ironclads innovative steam engine and other parts recovered at the site. The following year, in July and August 2002, the gun turret was raised from the site. These artifacts were transferred to the Mariner's Museum in Newport News, Va., for historic preservation.

Sports betting is a lucrative industry and many find their thrill and fortune there. It can, however, not always be a smooth ride, and sometimes hitting big bucks is harder to do than thought. That said, there are numerous occasions where sports bettors got extremely lucky, placing a small to medium bet and walking away with a grand pay out. Here are some of the biggest sports bets that paid off favourably to the bettor.
In January 2010, Angola was leading 4-0 to Mali in the Africa Cup of Nations. It was towards the end of the game that a bettor placed a five-pound bet on Mali. Surprisingly, Mali turned their luck in the last 16 minutes of the game and the ambitious sports bettor walked away with five thousand pounds.
Jona Rechnitz placed a $1000 bet on a Safety as the first score of the Super Bowl XLVI, of which only 7 have been scored in the entire Super Bowl history. The odds he placed the bets with was 50:1. And he won, walking away with $50 000.
A professional poker player named Erick Lindgren made a prop bet with friends. The bet was that he had to play four rounds of golf in a row on one day in the Las Vegas heat, carrying his own clubs, walking the entire way, shooting from pro-level tees, and managing to score under 100 in all of the four rounds he played. If he were to succeed, he would win $340 000. He won.
In 2011, a St Louis fan placed a $250 bet on the St Louis Cardinals making the World Series, with the odds standing at 500 to 1. He then placed another $250 bet on that the St Louis Cardinals would actually win the World Series, with the odds of this at 999 to 1. He got lucky, the Cardinals won, and the fan walked away with $375 000.
Darren Yates, avid sport gambler, placed a bet that the famous jockey Frankie Dettori would ride the winning horse in each of the seven races at the Ascot Racecourse. He paid just over $100 to place his bet, enjoyed the afternoon with his friends, and returned later to find that his bet had indeed paid off and he walked away with over $860 000.
In 2008, two bettors purchased tickets at ten US cents each, betting on the four horses that will come first in a race in Saratoga Springs. They walked away with $760 000 each which is more than the winnings of any AFL premiership betting.
In July 2005, Adrian Hayward placed a $313 bet that Liverpool player Xabi Alonso would score a goal from his end of the field, at some point during the FA Cup season. The odds of this happening were calculated at 125 to 1. The next January, exactly this happened, Hayward's bet was still valid, and he walked away with over $43 000.

Activists alarmed over work on riverbed
Sakal Times
Pune: Volunteers of NGO Jeevitnadi - Living River Foundation saw debris dumped in the riverbed while cleaning the bank of Mula river in Aundh. After an inquiry, it was learnt that the Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran (MJP) or the State Water Supply and Sanitation Board is constructing a temporary cofferdam in the river bed to lay a new pipeline for the military hospital in Khadki.
However, no signage or notice board was displayed before carrying out the work. The members of the foundation said rivers are in such a fragile state that any small action can further deteriorate the river.
Ganesh Kalapure, a resident of Aundh, who works closely with the foundation, said, "Every weekend, members from the foundation clean the river banks and bed of Mula. While carrying out the activity on Saturday, we noticed that debris was dumped in the river bed. Immediately, volunteers from the foundation and members of the Aundh Mohalla Committee checked the oxygen level in the river water. It had deteriorated."
Vaishali Patkar, a Jeevitnadi member and Aundh Mohalla Committee President, said, "After checking the status of the riverbed, we contacted the sectional engineer MJP Rajkumar Jadhav. We organised a meeting with Jadhav and Shrikant Patwardhan, assistant engineer of Military Engineering Services."
"During the meeting, Jadhav said the Military hospital, Khadki, has an old pipeline from the British era, which was leaking at various places. The military engineering services approached MJP to lay a new pipeline for the hospital. Also, there is no debris in the river bed, a temporary cofferdam has been constructed to carry out the work for laying the pipeline," Patkar said.
Patwardhan said, "The water pipelines were laid in the British era and was not changed or repaired after that. We used to pump water from the Aundh Military Station. We were experiencing water shortage in the past few years. The work order for laying the new water pipeline was issued in August 2017. The work is expected to be completed by August this year."
Jadhav said, "The actual work of laying the new pipeline started in August from the Aundh Military Station and continued till the Mula river bed. As the hospital is across the river, we constructed a cofferdam of 100 to 150 metres to lay the pipeline through the river. By August end, the whole work will be completed. The cofferdam will be removed by the end of April. All required permissions from the irrigation department have been acquired. There will be no damage to the river."

A scenic trip over a beautifully positioned peak
max°
FATMAP difficulty grade
If you're looking for a more interesting way up and over Mount Hayman than the standard route from West Kelowna, this could be the trip for you.
It demands a bit of planning because it's linear (and therefore requires you to access the trailhead) but if you can secure a ride in a vehicle to the start of the trail, it's a wonderful journey.
One option is to bike up to the start point marked here on the Bear Creek Fire Service Road (FSR) but it's a tough and tedious slog! Getting dropped off is definitely preferable. Once you get to the start point begin by riding up the FSR which leads south up towards Mount Hayman.
You do most of the height gain on this FSR so although it's not overly interesting, it is efficient - and the scenery only gets better as you climb.
Gradually the peaks of the Okanagan all loom into view, and on a clear day you'll be able to see the snowy summits of the Monashees in the distance, and even the northern part of Washington's Cascades.
The FSR eventually gives way to a series of smaller trails which enter the forest close to the summit of Mount Hayman itself. The trail leads onto the long, undulating and rounded ridge to the north of Mount Hayman.
Ride along this all the way to the small metal building which marks the summit of the peak.
From here on out, it's fun all the way! Winding through trees and linking a series of clearings - all of which provide huge views across Rose Valley Lake and the Okanagan Valley - the descent trail is always interesting without ever being overly difficult.

URIAH HEEP – Live Review – Rooty Hill RSL Club Thursday 19th March
Posted on March 22, 2015 by walladmin
Review by Mark Snedden & Photography Mick Goddard
It has been four years since the Heep have graced our shores and tonight, the first night of their Australian/New Zealand Tour, they did not disappoint. Uriah Heep had only flown in to Australia that morning and they talked about being extremely jet lagged, but this didn't show within their performance.
The two support acts Under Night's Cover and Hemina came to play and each had something to say, however, they seemed a little unsuited for the support of Uriah Heep. The youth and enthusiasm of Under Night's Cover, coupled with their musical ability was engaging. I really look forward to seeing how this outfit develops in the future and I encourage you to but their debut EP as there is lot of potential here. I have seen Hemina play a number of times and I appreciate what they are developing musically, hearing overtones of both Yes and Fates Warning, however, I think a lot of the audience were lost in their technical songs and lack of predictable structure and melody. I am sure that the band makes no apology for this, and nor should they, but this was maybe not the right slot for them.
Now to the venue, Rooty Hill RSL, it is a typical club venue and strangely it was totally seated, and seemed to be set more for bingo than a rock gig. Despite this, the room was packed and must have been very close to a sell-out. I was fortunate to have a table down on the floor and right under Mick Box's nose. Even though I was initially a little uneasy about the lay out of the venue, the band certainly weren't.
Uriah Heep hit the stage and opened with the first track from their new album Outsider, Speed of Sound. The band was pumped, they were extremely tight and they had a great sound. Bernie Shaw was commanding from the outset of the show, he sung well, he engaged the audience and he commanded the space. The band played nearly half of the first album and all of the new songs blended in to the classics. Unfortunately there were a number of people in the audience who were unfamiliar with the new material, but I would be shocked if they don't go out and find the album after last nights performance.
Unlike a lot of bands who are trailing a career in excess of forty years, Uriah Heep's newer material is so strong. This was actually brought to the attention of the audience by Bernie himself, who drew a parallel between The Magician's Birthday, the classic prog track from the same named album from 1972, and the technical and brooding, What Kind of God, from Wake the Sleeper released in 2008. Both songs were played back to back and so the strength of the bands newer material was explicitly evident. The audience digested both tracks, between them lasting over fifteen minutes, a reasonable portion of the show, but it was just a natural progression in the set and it worked.
The band didn't disappoint with their classics, however, I am sure they would have left something out that would have upset someone, as all bands inevitably do. They did a stirring version of Sunrise, from the 1973 album Sweet Freedom and the other track that stood out for me was Lady Wore black, from Salisbury, released 1971. Uriah Heep has been through an endless number of line-ups but in 2015, but this band is hitting all the songs and is an amazing outfit. The rhythm section is so strong, with drummer Russell Gilbrook and new bass player, Dave Rimmer. Dave has only been in the band since the last tour, for the album Into the Wild, when Trevor Bolder, long time bassist, became ill with pancreatic cancer and since unfortunately passed away in 2013. Dave is a master bass player, he locks into the feel of Russell so well but is also a musician in his own right, and he has definitely added his own dimension to the band. Keyboardist and Mick Box's writing partner, Phil Lanzon, never fails to impress. Not only is he one of the principal song writers, he is also an amazing musician and a great vocalist. Now to Mick Box and what can I say, he was just seamless. I know that I have said this many times before, but Mick is such an underrated guitarist. He barely broke out a sweat, he never lost his smile and he didn't drop a note all night. The band and its longevity is really a tribute to him, not only is he the sole remaining founding member of the band, but he is a tireless work horse who is the back bone of the band.
The bands encore consisted of two tracks, the classics Easy Livin' and Gypsy, a fitting tribute to the set and the bands legacy. I really think that you would be hard pressed to find someone who walked away disappointed from this set and it was an amazing opening show of the tour. Uriah Heep is not only a relevant band from the birth of metal/hard rock and prog rock from the 1970s, but they are a power house band for 2015. I sincerely hope that it doesn't take Uriah Heep four more years to return to Australia.

Sibyl, In the past few months, my family has suffered two major tragedies, and a few minor ones. Now every time my husband leaves the house and doesn't answer his cell phone I think he's dead. Most of me knows this is irrational, but until he gets home or contacts me, I'm a bit of a mess. I can't afford the $170/hr to see a shrink, but sometimes I don't know how I'll move through the world without feeling at any moment someone I love could die or be hurt. How can I move past this?
I have good news and bad news. Since I know it would calm your anxiety to get it out of the way, let's start with the bad news.
You are not going to get past this. It is going to become part of who you are. These traumas, whatever they are, are changing and shaping you. Who you become in the face of them is up to you.
We'll get to that. Before you can worry about who you're going to be, you have to survive these first traumatized months. First of all, explain to your husband that for right now, you need him to answer the phone every time you call. He doesn't have to talk, he can answer with a text that just says "I'm here". But for right now, that is what you need -- to know that he is alive.
If he really objects to this imposition, put a time limit on it, "I just need this for the next 2-4 weeks. Then we can reassess." Trauma is a huge relationship litmus test, so if he can be there for you in this, you will only get closer.
Now for some good news: you don't have to go it alone. Of course you can't afford $170/hour for a therapist. Who can? That fee is absurd. I don't know where you live, but I bet there's a clinic or a graduate school nearby that has therapy interns that could see you for as little as $25/session. If you live in California, and any of your recent tragedies are from violent crimes, you can get therapy through a program called Victims of Crime.
So, with a little bit of research about clinics, schools, and resources in your area, you can see a therapist that you can afford to help you through this time. You'll have to go through this dark period of your life no matter what, but you shouldn't have to go through it without a guide. Therapists are trained to walk alongside folks who have experienced tragedies while holding the lantern to help them see the way.
So, with your supports in place, you'll be able to dive in to the crux of the matter. These recent tragedies have pulled the veil off of your life and you are seeing humans for what we really are: ephemeral. Our lives, no matter how bright and beautiful, will one day pass away. It is a horrible panic attack-inducing truth. But it is also what makes our lives have a sense of urgency, what propels us to ever do anything of consequence, what gives us something worth fighting for.
When my beloved father died, I spent a grief-stricken winter laying face up on my bed, immobile, staring at the one lonely snowflake I had hung from my ceiling, reciting my favorite poems and feeling the chill of a world in which my anchor had been pulled up. I was adrift. And terrified.
So, when it came time to register for classes at my university, I signed up for an intense course in Death and Dying, in which we read 12 books about death; theological, philosophical, and personal texts. The professor's father was dying as he taught the class. He and I spent several afternoons in his office, laughing at the absurdity of death and sitting in silence at the horror of it. It was insane to immerse myself so fully in my grief, but I had a therapist I trusted and my fiancee by my side, so I dove in. I needed to make sense of the world before I could commit myself fully to living in it.
Perhaps you are not about to take such an undeniably intellectual pursuit. However, do something to make sense of your world, or you will find yourself trying to control it in odd ways. Pulling out bits of your hair and lining them up in straight rows, restricting certain foods to cheat death's knocking, calling your loved ones obsessively -- I've been there, I know this behavior. But how you face these tragedies will direct a good portion of your life. Don't judge yourself for however you experience grief, but strive to get the better of it. Just the fact that you wrote in to this column shows you are ready to face these fears.
Finally, do something that makes you feel really alive. Take up boxing, write a poem every day, hike the hills behind your house, sing at a monthly open mic night. Whatever it is, choose something that brings you close to the core of life, but does not throw you over. Grind your feet into the earth, finding your shoring beneath you.
Remind yourself why you want to remain a citizen of this world. Give yourself visceral experiences of the beauty of this life, despite the pain we inevitably incur. Love so fiercely that death has no lasting sting, just a dull ache that reminds you that what you've lost lives on in you, propelling you to further bravery in loving.

Recap of 'Jane Austen Meets Mary Shelley'
by jasnasouthwest | Sep 29, 2019 | Events, Featured, News
Nearly 140 JASNA Southwest members and guests gathered at Chapman University for "Jane Austen Meets Mary Shelley" on September 14. Numerous students from both Chapman University and Azusa Pacific University joined JASNA members for this event, which featured speakers John Kessel, Anne Mellor and Victoria Shorr.
Following continental breakfast and a white elephant sale, John Kessel launched the day's presentations with his talk "Mary, Jane and Me."
Best known for his science fiction novels, including Pride and Prometheus — a mashup of Pride and Prejudice and Frankenstein — and numerous short stories, Kessel served as first director of the MFA program in creative writing at North Carolina State University, where he has taught since 1982. Observing that some people hold a narrow view of the genre, he noted that, for him, science fiction encompasses gender issues and other social concerns.
In describing his idea for Pride and Prometheus, he said, "I was unforgivably ignorant about the raft of novels and stories about Mary Bennet that have been written by Austen fans, and of the community of fan-fiction writers who have produced rules for such works." He described those rules as including creation of a transformative work, being respectful of the material being "borrowed" and having an "HEA" (happily ever after) ending. He defines his work as not simply fan fiction, although he is a fan, but as critical fiction. He adds that a work of critical fiction should also stand on its own and bring something new while commenting on the original.
He referenced such works of critical fiction as Jean Rhys' Wide Sargasso Sea (the backstory behind Jane Eyre from the perspective of Mr. Rochester's first wife) and John Gardner's Grendel (a retelling of Beowulf from the antagonist's viewpoint).
The challenge of "mating the disparate tales" of Pride and Prejudice and Frankenstein in Pride and Prometheus made for a fascinating project, he said. While Austen treated her characters with cool distance, irony and dry humor, Shelley's novel is full of humorless "histrionic excess, chases and murders." In Austen, he noted, "There's plenty of psychological distress but, by and large, the most violent thing that happens is an overheard conversation or someone getting caught in the rain. Frankenstein's Creature does not belong in a Regency drawing room. The Bennet sisters do not belong in a gothic 19th century laboratory."
However, he observed that both novels involve social criticism and looking for a mate. He strove to examine, extend or critique both practical matters and themes of the originals, such as the moral choices made by the characters.
Next, UCLA Emeritus Distinguished Research Professor of English and Women's Studies Anne Mellor spoke on the topic of "Mothering Monsters: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Genetic Engineering." She is the author of books on Mary Shelley, Romantic women writers (including Jane Austen), William Blake and many other British Romantic poets.
Her book Mothers of the Nation — Women's Political Writing in England, 1780-1830 argues that women writers were instrumental in shaping public opinion during the Romantic era. She has authored numerous books, including Mary Shelley: Her Fiction, Her Life, Her Monsters and Romanticism and Gender. She edited the first collection of feminist essays on Romantic writing, Romanticism and Feminism and is the co-editor of an anthology of canon-transforming Romantic writing, British Literature 1780-1830, as well as of The Other Mary Shelley and Passionate Encounters in a Time of Sensibility.
Mellor began by pointing out an interesting fact about Mary Shelley and Jane Austen: "they had the same mother," she stated. Mary Wollstonecraft, author of The Vindication of the Rights of Women, was Mary Shelley's biological mother and Jane Austen's intellectual mother, according to Mellor. She argued that "Jane Austen was a devout disciple of Mary Wollstonecraft to the extent that she takes characters from Wollstonecraft's writings, she quotes Wollstonecraft word for word but never with quotation marks because a respectable woman, in her day, could no longer openly identify with that radical, feminist, whore, atheist known as Mary Wollstonecraft."
Mellor's discussion primarily focused on Shelley and how she gave birth to Frankenstein, describing it as "a myth about a human being giving birth to another through mechanical processes." She added: "This narrative has become the myth of modern science — the master narrative for the ways in which man's attempts to control and improve the workings of nature can have unintended and even monstrous consequences."
Jokingly, she offered an alternative description of the novel as "the narrative of what happens when a man tries to have a baby without a woman."
Frankenstein would not have happened, she said, without the radical climate change caused by Mt. Tambora's eruption on April 10, 1815. Its volcanic plume created a molecular screen that effectively blocked out the sun. Thus 1815 came to be known as the year without a summer. Tambora's eruption caused severe weather, failing crops and even cholera outbreaks.
On a stormy night in June 1815, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin and her lover, Percy Shelley, were in Geneva visiting Lord Byron. She had a vivid waking reverie that Mellor posits came from her most traumatic experiences. Her mother died in childbirth and she was subsequently raised by a negligent father and runaway nurse. Her father eventually remarried and Mary became a Cinderella figure in her stepmother's home and was eventually sent off to live in Scotland with the family of a man who was a fan of her father's work. When she returned two years later, she met her father's latest disciple, Percy Shelley, they fell in love, made love on her mother's grave and ran off together. She later gave birth to a premature baby girl who died two weeks later. The following year she gave birth to a son, William, and five months later she had her waking reverie that in turn led to the creation of Frankenstein.
Mellor draws attention to the parallels between Mary Shelley's life and the Creature's life in Frankenstein. She suggests that for the first time in English literature a novel embodies the pregnancy anxieties of a very young and frequently pregnant woman. The novel implicitly raises questions that such a young woman might ask herself: "What if my child is born deformed? A freak? What if my child dies? Could my child kill me the way I killed my mother?" In the novel, Victor takes one look at the creature he labored for nine months to bring to life and is appalled.
Mellor explained that Shelley read and was well-informed about the latest scientific advancements and experiments of the time, including Erasmus Darwin's theory of "single sex propagation," in which the woman's role in giving birth is unnecessary.
For Shelley, "bad science" tries to intervene with, change or master nature. In the novel, nature pursues Victor with the very fire and electricity he stole to bring the Creature to life. The novel's violent storms also reflect the climate and extreme weather caused by Tambora and represent a manifestation of mother nature's elemental powers.
For Mellor, the novel suggests that where there is no mother, monsters are created. She cautions against scientists who fail to take ethical responsibility for the predictable and even unintended consequences of their experiments and technological developments that can destroy life as we know it, describing the potential impact of today's CRISPR Cas9 gene-editing technologies.
After a boxed lunch and trivia contest, with prizes of books by the speakers, Victoria Shorr gave a presentation, "The Midnight Moment" based on her book Midnight: Three Women at the Hour of Reckoning. Published in March 2019, Midnight focuses on three women as they face their greatest challenge — a homeless Jane Austen, Joan of Arc at the stake and Mary Shelley in Italy as she contemplates a potential future without her husband when he is lost at sea.
Shorr, whose first novel, Backlands, was named one of Booklist's top 10 first novels of 2015, co-founded the Archer School for Girls and the Pine Ridge Girls' School in South Dakota, the first independent, culturally based, college-preparatory school for girls on a Native reservation in America.
She read from the Austen segments of Midnight, which focus on Austen's acceptance of a brilliant marriage proposal just when she, her mother and sister most needed the independence her marriage to Harris Bigg-Wither would have brought them — and the following morning, when she told him she had changed her mind. Shorr said she was drawn not to the witty, clever, superbly in control, intimidating Jane Austen but to the lesser-known Austen as the homeless woman, the unpublished author with no money and nowhere to live. If Austen had accepted the proposal it would have altered the course of her life.
Austen would have been mistress of her own home, surrounded by comforts and children, and not dependent on her brothers and their wives — but perhaps would not have become an author. In this midnight moment, Shorr explained, Austen "would have been forced to stand and gaze into the void and figure out who she was and what she did next."
Her refusal comes as a profile in courage not often celebrated, rarely discussed and kept very private. It is a cold courage not born in the heat of the moment but from deliberate consideration, Shorr said.

Plenty to look forward to for Hayley Turner in 2022
Hayley Turner is looking forward to the year ahead after riding her first winner following a seven-week absence through injury.
Having celebrated her 39th birthday on January 3, Turner made a winning start to 2022 when partnering the David Simcock-trained Race Card to victory in a mile-and-a-half handicap at Wolverhampton on Wednesday.
She said: "I broke my thumb which sidelined me for seven weeks, so it was nice to get back with a winner.
"It was a bit frustrating. I'd pulled up on one of David Simcock's horses after the line and he just fell over. It was just one of those unlucky things.
"But it was nice to have a good break and I'm happy to be riding again now. It was good to ride a winner and get off the mark."
Newmarket-based Turner, the first woman to ride 100 winners in a calendar year, will head to the Saudi Arabia at the end of February for the International Jockeys Challenge at the Saudi Cup, but is not setting herself any goals.

"I like these jockeys' challenges, and riding at the Saudi Cup meeting will be a great experience.
"I don't really make massive plans – I just try to ride as many winners as I can, really. I feel I have plenty of support from some good trainers and am looking forward to the rest of the all-weather season and the new Flat season."

Q: Android gridview android:numColumns="auto_fit" always create only two columns Hi I am developing small android application in which I want to display simple gridview with some elements.Its working properly. Only problem is that it is always showing only two columns even though there is space. Its is equally dividing screen into 2 columns and displaying only two elements.If I set number of columns as number i.e. not auto_fit then it is showing properly. My code looks like:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
 >
<GridView
    android:id="@+id/gridView"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_margin="5dp"
    android:numColumns="auto_fit"
    android:verticalSpacing="10dp"
    android:horizontalSpacing="10dp">
</GridView>
</FrameLayout>

and my grid element looks like:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
tools:context="com.example.androidcardlayout.MainActivity" >

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/card_view"
    android:layout_width="100dp"
    android:layout_height="150dp"
    card_view:cardCornerRadius="4dp">

    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/cardMianRlt"
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="150dp"
        >
    </RelativeLayout>

Am I doing anything wrong? Need Some help. Thank you.

A: It looks like the auto-fit setting only applies if you have fixed column widths. Here is the only place in GridView source code that uses the auto-fit setting:
private boolean determineColumns(int availableSpace) {
    final int requestedHorizontalSpacing = mRequestedHorizontalSpacing;
    final int stretchMode = mStretchMode;
    final int requestedColumnWidth = mRequestedColumnWidth;
    boolean didNotInitiallyFit = false;

    if (mRequestedNumColumns == AUTO_FIT) {
        if (requestedColumnWidth > 0) {
            // Client told us to pick the number of columns
            mNumColumns = (availableSpace + requestedHorizontalSpacing) /
                    (requestedColumnWidth + requestedHorizontalSpacing);
        } else {
            // Just make up a number if we don't have enough info
            mNumColumns = 2;
        }
    }

This private function is called during the measure / layout process. Notice that within the auto-fit if statement, unless requestedColumnWidth > 0, then you just get 2 columns, which is what you are seeing.
If a fixed width works for your app, then you need to put it in your XML like this:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
     >
    <GridView
        android:id="@+id/gridView"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_margin="5dp"
        android:numColumns="auto_fit"
        android:columnWidth="30dp"
        android:verticalSpacing="10dp"
        android:horizontalSpacing="10dp">
    </GridView>

thankx to the NVDIA 2gb 930g graphics..
The laptop is totally worth it, however the display and CD ROM could have been better. I got a few issues with the hinges of the display 3 months after the purchase, but the Asus service guys handled it well. Very happy with the laptop, great performance!
I have been using this ASUS laptop for about 1 year now. This is such an awesome product.
4) ASUS service so good, my screen developed a white line line, they changed the screen without any hesitation. promptly called to inform the readiness.
It took me many days to come to a conclusion in deciding my pick. And, surprisingly, yesterday, Times of India listed top 10 laptops under 40k, and this one stood seventh in that list. I am so happy to be an owner of this superb device. This is a flawless device, crafted and encased with perfection. As this is offering too much for such a price, you can expect some letdowns.
