Wildlife, Kouba inspires Hutchinson artist
If you ask the people of Hutchinson who is the most famous wildlife artist who made his home here, they would probably say Les Kouba. In fact, there are signs around the city proclaiming Hutchinson as the birthplace of Les Kouba. However, there is another wildlife artist who makes Hutchinson his home and his name is Richard "Dick" Schiebel. He doesn't want to be compared to or compete for the recognition that Kouba has captured in Hutchinson. He just considers Kouba as an inspiration to his art career. Schiebel got to meet Kouba for the first time after Schiebel finished his 4-year Navy stint in 1966. The meeting took place at Kouba's gallery in downtown Minneapolis and they shared their experiences of growing up in the Hutchinson area. "I spent my life pursuing the things I love to do," Schiebel said: Hunting ducks, painting ducks and sculpturing ducks. "I've done everything in my life with ducks except marry one." From an early age, Schiebel was able to push a pencil around. "I started out drawing airplanes and tanks when I was about 10 years old," he said. "My friends and classmates started paying me ten cents a picture. One time I got a quarter. I felt rich." "One day I came home from school with a Bristol board and paint by number paints from art class. And then for years I followed the Sunday Picture magazine and came across illustrated pictures by Les Kouba. That was my first real exposure to a professional wildlife artist." Schiebel became interested in wildlife when his father, Harlan, took him and his brother, William, duck hunting back in 1955. Dick was only 12 years old at the time and was taken along at first as an observer. When he was in the 7th grade he received a model 97 Winchester shotgun, and would be given one shell when he entered the blind. His first bird he remembers well, a drake mallard taken with a neat pivot from his shell-box seat. Hunting with his father and brother lasted only two years. It was in December of 1957 when his dad took ill and died unexpectedly at the Hutchinson hospital. His dad was 42 years old at the time of his death and Dick was only 14. Dick didn't have too many hours with his father, but the interest he helped kindle was to grow to be a passion. "It was almost two years to the day after my father passed away that I started drawing wildfowl. My first legitimate painting of wildlife geese was Oct. 29, 1959. It was a crude painting. But it was a start. It was a picture of Canada geese done with leftover paint-by-number oils on a sheet of Bristol board I got from my art class in school," he recalls. He finished high school in 1962 and enlisted in the Navy for four years. While in the Navy he took correspondence courses in the Famous Artist School in West Port, Connecticut. "I sailed through those first half dozen lessons with ease and I received a letter from the directors that my work showed a high degree of promise and they were going to keep an eye on me," Schiebel said. "The progression of the course went from the fundamentals of commercial art to all of the things that I did not find interesting … so I quit." That was the only formal training Schiebel had to become an artist. "I've never became accustomed to classroom instruction," he said. In August of 1966, Schiebel finished his time with the Navy and came back home. "My carving career had its roots about a year after I got out of the service," he said. "I was carving a duck with the idea of taking on the possibility of making my own decoys." His work became known as masterful decoys and he won many awards. For 10 years he went to Maryland in the 70s and 80s to enter his carvings in the World Championship Decoy Carving Contest. In his second year of competition he took second place. Requests for his gunning decoys have come from as far away as Canada. Schiebel estimates he has carved hundreds of decoys of various grades from the gunning decoys all the way up to the highest level of carving. "We call them the 'Full House Decoratives'," Schiebel said. For a period of 15 or so years he worked at various jobs in the area, including time with an area telephone company. While working these various jobs he developed a customer base for his artistic work. In 1982 he came to the conclusion that he had developed a customer base and decided to go out on his own and start his own business. That marked the beginning of becoming a professional artist. "I never started the business with the idea of making a million dollars. For whatever reason its never been one of my priorities to make a million dollars. I have always been content with simply doing enough work to maintain my life, keep the bills paid and the walls around me. My driving passion my whole life is to just get from one waterfowling season to the next and the next. Some are of the opinion that I squandered my talent. In my opinion, I probably have. I didn't want it cutting into my precious time in the outdoors with the ducks." Schiebel has used his talent to help others as well. He contributes his work to organizations such as Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, Wild Turkey Federation, fishing clubs and many others. Ducks Unlimited gives out Golden Door Plaques to donors each year. Schiebel paints a duck picture on each of the plaques before they are given to the recipients. Last year he painted 40 plaques for DU. "Throughout my whole life, if I became interested in something I would excel in it. If I wasn't interested … it just doesn't exist. If I ever become famous it will be an accident," he said.

Renovating a building shouldn't put occupant health in jeopardy. Unfortunately, many buildings constructed before 1970 are likely candidates to contain asbestos. Left intact, asbestos-containing materials don't pose a risk. But when these materials are disturbed, microscopic particles of asbestos become airborne. Breathing in this toxin can lead to life-threatening diseases for workers and building occupants alike.
It's no surprise that EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) have highly regulated asbestos during building repairs and renovations and its abatement and demands specialized procedures.
Public and non-profit private schools even have their own distinct regulatory requirements for asbestos management in to ensure that no dust escapes into the air. While these safety measures are necessary, they are also expensive, which can put universities in a tight financial bind.
In situations like these, Connectrac® helps university facilities managers modernize their spaces without compromising their budgets.
The flooring in many older college campus buildings either contains asbestos from its manufacturing process or was installed with asbestos-containing mastic — or both. Sometimes these areas have been carpeted over, but the asbestos materials still lie dormant. In this type of tile, even core drilling for electrical devices is very difficult and costly due to asbestos air-protection requirements.
In fact, one university cited that it would cost more than $50,000 to clean up six classrooms that contained asbestos-related materials. Given the expense of abatement, it's easier for building owners to leave the tile and carpeting in place. Yet universities must provide instructors and students with electrical access at increasing levels to accommodate today's technology needs.
The Connectrac On-Floor Wireway system is exceptionally suited to these environments. Our On-Floor Wireway installs on top of your carpeting or tile in a low-profile, ADA-compliant manner so there's no need to disturb the flooring.
Electrical outlets and multiple connectivity cables become readily available through the wireway to improve classroom and lecture hall performance at a fraction of renovation costs. In fact, all of our Connectrac wireways, including Under-Carpet, can be installed to be environmentally friendly in asbestos challenged spaces.
Universities can surmount the challenge of renovation budget limitations where asbestos is concerned with Connectrac options. Our wireways deliver you with great alternatives to keep costs down and help your college teaching environment excel.

Martin1970 wrote: Back at home with my DQ-10s in place of the Carverfest Speakers.
I planned on listening to them for a while, then hooking my Silvers back up. Oddly enough, the CF speakers are still hooked up.
Picked up my Carverfest Prototypes from Martin last Sunday. Martin did his magic during the assembly process. Great job Martin! Thank you very, very much.
Let me so upfront, take the time, if you have the flexibility, to re-position these over and over until you find the sweet spot. And there is a definite sweet spot with both the room and your seating position. It will pay tremendous dividends in width and depth of sound stage.
This particular setup for me payed huge dividends. This is what I found after several days of re-positioning.
Speakers 12 ft. 5 1/2 inches from seating position, toed in slightly (facing knees approx.) 4 ft. 4 inches from back wall, (inside edge) 3 ft. 1 inch (inside edge) from side walls, separation between speakers 11 ft. 6 inches from inside edge. I went from WTH vs what I heard at Jame's place to WHOOO, there is that magic again that makes these speakers so special.
The cut that I used to dial these in was Erienda, by Kenny Rankin. There are several wood block hits during this tune. If these puppies are not dialed in, the hits will appear behind the left speaker. Once you have these speakers properly positioned and dialed in, the wood block hits will appear completely to your left even with sitting position.
Here is a link on U tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfYSSf-qrFc The wood block starts about 30 seconds into cut and continues off and on throughout cut. This worked out great for me. If it isn't coming from your far left equal to your seating position you are not there yet. Once there, the rewards are worth the effort.
Also crossed over at 100Hz. using 2 subs, with each sub directly behind speaker.
Been having lots fun with my CF speakers. Got them hooked up to the Cherry/260's and they sound fabulous with big vacuum tube power! Big fat holographic sound stage. Probably the widest sound stage Ive had in my room. They dont quite have the detail, finesse and punch of the open baffle project but its awesome to have this good of a sound stage and be able to crank up the volume!
Im running them with a pair of DQ-7 speaker cabinets with DQ-9 woofers(same size...9's have bigger magnets). The subs are 4ohm and I'm powering them with a Lightstar. Subs are running 90Hz and below, CF's 90Hz and up.
Looking good Eric. Time for another Jam fest like the one at CF. Gary would be looking down at us with that big smile of his.

The 40-year fire department veteran, who once lived in Levittown, and who worked at Ground Zero, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in December 2015.
FDNY Chief Ronald Spadafora, who supervised rescue and recovery efforts at Ground Zero, died Saturday of a World Trade Center-related illness, according to the FDNY. He was 63.
The 40-year veteran is the 178th member of the FDNY to die of 9/11-related illnesses, the department said.
The former Levittown resident, who moved to New York City in 2004, was the World Trade Center chief of safety for the entire 9/11 recovery operation. He was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in December 2015.
Born in Ozone Park, Spadafora attended Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School in Brooklyn, where his brother said he was a track star. Spadafora later graduated from John Jay College with a bachelor's degree in fire science, and he returned there as an adjunct lecturer for the Fire Science Undergraduate Program. He earned another bachelor's degree from Queens College and a master's degree in criminal justice from Long Island University's C.W. Post campus.
Along with supervising Ground Zero recovery efforts, Spadafora oversaw the logistics section for the FDNY during the 2003 New York City blackout and worked on recovery efforts during the aftermaths of Hurricane Katrina and superstorm Sandy.
Spadafora participated in the Working On Fire Programme for several years. The South African program funds weekslong trips to rural areas of Johannesburg to train residents on fire prevention and suppression skills.
"Ron Spadafora was a consummate professional fire chief who bravely served our city for 40 years, and toiled for months at the World Trade Center site after September 11th, leading the Department's rescue and recovery efforts," said FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro in a statement.
On Saturday, the Baltimore City Fire Department honored the firefighter with a transport from Johns Hopkins Hospital, where Spadafora was being treated. The FDNY then transported his body to Franklin E. Campbell Funeral Chapel in Manhattan, where it will remain until funeral services later this week.
In addition to his brother Frederick, Spadafora is survived by his longtime domestic partner, Rhonda Roland-Shearer, and siblings Nicholas Spadafora of Manhattan, Sharon Dionisio of West Islip and Robert Spadafora of California.
Spadafora's neighbor and close friend Amy Tan, 66, author of the "Joy Luck Club," will speak at the funeral services. "He was so gentle and so generously helpful in so many ways," said Tan of Spadafora, who had written a book on environmentally friendly firefighting techniques. "The one thing I learned in reading this book is that I wouldn't be smart enough to be a firefighter."
The wake will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday at Franklin E. Campbell Funeral Chapel in Manhattan. A funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday at 11 a.m. at St. Thomas Church in Manhattan. Instead of a coffin, Spadafora's remains will be wrapped in an American flag and laid in an aluminum stokes basket, "just like his fallen brothers of 911," said Roland-Shearer.

Sherry caught for parts of five seasons in the majors, playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets between 1959-1963. In 194 big league games he hit .215 with 18 home runs. His best year came in 1960 when he hit .283 with 8 home runs for the Dodgers. His average dropped in each of the following seasons and by 1964 he was playing in the minors for good. Sherry's professional career began in 1950 and lasted until 1972 when he appeared in four minor-league games as a player/manager in the Angels' organization.
Sherry went on to manage and coach in the big leagues. He was the California Angels' manager from 1976-1977. He later coached for the Montreal Expos, San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants.
On May 7, 1960 Sherry took Philadelphia's Ruben Gomez deep in the 11th inning of a game at the Coliseum in Los Angeles. The home run gave the Dodgers, and Sherry's brother Larry, the victory.
We featured Sherry's favorite teammate, Roger Craig, last year.

LONDON (REUTERS) - British Prime Minister Theresa May gained a wax doppelganger on Wednesday (Nov 8) that projected an air of strength and permanence sorely lacking in her crisis-prone government.
The wax figure of May, stepping out of Number 10 Downing Street in a red power suit and leopardskin kitten-heeled shoes, was unveiled by Madame Tussauds, a waxworks museum that is one of London's top tourist attractions.
The real May, meanwhile, was battling multiple crises at once, with several of her Cabinet ministers embroiled in scandals, open strife in her party over how to deliver Brexit and persistent debate about her suitability for the job.
"Whilst her policies may be questioned we can guarantee our wax figure of the Prime Minister is most definitely strong and stable," said Edward Fuller, general manager of Madame Tussauds, poking fun at an election campaign slogan that backfired on May.
Presenting herself as pillar of "strong and stable leadership", May called a snap election in June expecting to win by a hefty margin, but her campaign failed to inspire the voters and she instead lost her parliamentary majority.
Since then, her divided government has lurched from one crisis to another, with May's humiliation culminating in a speech at her party conference during which a prankster joined her on stage and letters fell off a slogan behind her.
There was none of that sense of chaos and drift in the scene presented by Madame Tussauds, which shows a smiling May holding a smart black folder and stepping forward from the famous black door of her Downing Street office.
The red suit worn by the wax figure is the same as the one donned by May for a visit to the White House during which she held hands with US President Donald Trump - one of the most widely published images of her term as Prime Minister.
The real May also wore the red suit on election night in June, an unhappy occasion that saw her appear on stage to acknowledge victory in her local electoral district even as the scale of the debacle on the national scale was becoming clear.
The wax May will now reside at the museum in close proximity to the likenesses of other world leaders including Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

What I Read In March 2012
The Saint - The Brighter Buccaneer by Leslie Charteris is a 1933 collection of 15 stories about one of my favorite rogues. I first became a fan of The Saint on tv back in the 1960's and eventually I found the books in the library. The stories in TBB are too short for much to be happening. The Saint comes along some criminal and/or rich person who needs to be robbed as punishment for their wrong doing. It's done quickly and some money or jewels get added to The Saint's retirement fund. Occasionally some wronged person gets helped out and The Saint moves on. The stories were mostly ok but I find I prefer the longer novella or novel length stories. I have a newer paperback not that nice British edition. I have a few other books with that cover style. I just don't find them all that often or cheap.
The Wizard Test by Hilari Bell was a kid's book that I got on clearance. The story is about a kid who wants to be a soldier but has magical powers. He's given into the charge of an unruly drunken wizard who takes him on a spying mission. The kid does some growing up and he's got to make some hard choices. It was a quick read, it's somewhat short, and it was enjoyable. It's not a keeper.
Walt Disney's Toby Tyler by Dorothea S Snow is one of those Whitman books aimed at the younger crowd. It's actually adapted from the original novel which you can read in the link above. I picked up a few Walt Disney movie adaptations and have started reading those. It's got lots of illustrations so the thing reads quickly. Toby runs away from his broke ass farmer uncle and aunt to join the circus. He thinks they don't need him and he's being a burden. At the circus he makes friends with a monkey and a gruff old man. He learns to ride a horse and becomes a star in the circus. Then at the end he's reunited with his aunt and uncle.
Pure Dead Brilliant by Debi Gliori is the third novel in Pure Dead trilogy. I keep finding her books in the clearance section of Half Price Books for a dollar or two. The family Mansion is filled with guests this summer as Mrs Strega-Borgia has her fellow classmates from magic school in for a visit. The older two kids are fighting and the baby starts doing magic. There's an evil bitch in the class who's in league with the devil. The housekeeper helps out and things get back to normal. It's a fun read with some goofy things going on.
The Raven League - Sherlock Holmes Is Missing by Alex Simmons and Bill McCay is set in Holmes era London and the Raven League is like the Baker Street Irregulars. Holmes is missing and the kids have to put aside their internal differences and band together to find him. It's ok but not something that I'd bother re-reading. I sure don't like that cover drawing very much.
The Orge Of Oglefort by Eva Ibbotson is from 2010 which is sadly the year that she passed away. There are a couple of books out since then but I haven't picked them up yet. TOOO is a story of an orphan boy who becomes the familiar of a Hag. They travel to rescue a princess from an orge and wind up helping a whole lot of people. It's a delightful book which made me happy to read it. It's a keeper as all of her books have been. I have 4 of her earlier young adult novels to read yet and most of her other books to re-read. She's well worth reading and while she never wrote that many books all the ones I have read have been really good.
I missed logging this book into my list in February and only remembered it later. The Moor Desolaat By Oliver Ducaat by Tim Uhl is a fantasy novel for the young and old. It's a nicely illustrated story about a young man's travel to various places in his world. He lives on an island. He has an entertaining adventure and gets the thing he needed the most. Tim is a guy I used to see at Dreamhaven when I worked at the Dinkytown store. He left me a copy of the book at Dreamhaven and I read it then. You can pick up a copy online at Amazon.

SF Masterworks #22: Michael Moorcock, Behold the Man
Our Father which art in heaven...
He had been brought up, like most of his schoolfellows, paying a certain lip-service to the Christian religion. Prayers in the mornings at school. He had taken to saying two prayers at night. One was the Lord's Prayer and the other went God bless Mummy, God bless Daddy, God bless my sisters and brothers and all the dear people that surround me, and God bless me. Amen. That had been taught to him by a woman who looked after him for a while when his mother was at work. He had added to this a list of 'thank-yous' ('Thank you for a lovely day, thank you for getting the history questions right...') and 'sorrys' ('Sorry I was rude to Molly Turner, sorry I didn't own up to Mr Matson...'). He had been seventeen years old before he had been able to get to sleep without saying the ritual prayers and even then it had been his impatience to masturbate that had finally broken the habit.
Our Father which art in heaven... (p. 9)
Regardless of how one feels about the issue, the image of the Passion of the Christ strikes at the hearts of those who behold it in art, cinema, poetry, or even prose. A Man (God?) hanging from the crossbeams, arms lashed in place with nails through the hands (wrists) and feet. The agony on his face contrasted with the taunting or mournful crowd. How could such a person endure that pain? Why would he choose such a punishment, if such a thing could ever be "chosen" in the first place? The Passion has left an indelible mark on European and some Asian and African cultures. Ecce homo – behold the man, indeed.
Michael Moorcock in his 1969 short novel, Behold the Man, explores the psychological rationale that could lead to the imitation of the Passion. Karl Glogauer, who time travels back to the Palestine of the Christ's ministry and execution, is beset with a range of issues ranging from his parents' divorce to the near-pathological association of his faults and desires with the symbolism of the cross. Moorcock alternates between showing Glogauer in the "present" of Palestine and the "past" of mid-20th century England. We experience his trials and tribulations, his struggles with women, his sinking into a sort of messiah-complex where he sees himself as reliving the agonies of the Passion, all in flashbacks that occur around the events in Palestine.
It would be easy to view this story as a simple denunciation of the faith people put in their religions. After all, the Jesus of this story is not the Christ of Catholic/Orthodox Masses or Protestant worship services. Glogauer is weak and possibly demented – could this be seen as a commentary on those who are devout? While some might think this is so, evidence from the novel indicates something else is occurring. Glogauer is a sympathetically-drawn character; one cannot help but to feel at least some pity on him as he struggles to deal with the neuroses that afflict him. He is a dynamic character whose ultimate transformation causes the reader to consider not just him but the entire origins of the Christian faith.
Moorcock's story would not work without Jungian psychology being utilized to develop Glogauer's character. He feels "real" because his foibles, his little triumphs, and his despairs are described so well that readers may find themselves being reminded of their own histories. Add to this a narrative that flows almost seamlessly from the "past" and "present" and the story works because it does not get bogged down in the mechanics of the time travel or the nature of the conflicts within Glogauer. While some perhaps would have loved more elaboration, such would only serve to weaken the story with unnecessary digressions; the story works toward an iconic moment and that moment is largely realized because there is no extraneous detail or explanation.
Yet this is not to say that there are times where things seem to be left unsaid a bit too much. Glogauer's failed relationships with women seem at times to flow into one another without much differentiation between them. While there is character development, at times, especially toward the end, he shifts too much toward his ultimate role without much in the way of plausible development. Although it would, as I state above, weaken the narrative to develop the backstory much beyond what is presented here, the occasional transitionary stage during the Palestine scenes might have made the whole even stronger than what was achieved.
Despite these faults, Behold the Man ends with a powerful scene that is easily among Moorcock's best. It is not a pathetic, wretched event that we witness, but rather a transformative one that serves to unite Glogauer's fears and obsessions into a moving commentary that makes this book a true masterwork of science fiction. It does not matter if you believe in the Passion or whether you are skeptical that there was even a human named Jesus in the first place. Behold the Man asks the reader to do precisely that and in the act of beholding, something occurs that makes this conclusion one of the more memorable ones. Highly recommended.

SF Masterworks #90: Clifford D. Simak, City
"Not a park, exactly," explained Henry Adams. "A memorial, rather. A memorial to an era of communal life that will be forgotten in another hundred years. A preservation of a number of peculiar types of construction that arose to suit certain conditions and each man's particular tastes. No slavery to any conditions and each man's particular tastes. No slavery to any architectural concepts, but an effort made to achieve better living. In another hundred years men will walk through those houses down there with the same feeling of respect and awe they have when they go into a museum today. It will be to them something out of what amounts to a primeval age, a stepping-stone on the way to the better, fuller life. Artists will spend their lives transferring those old houses to their canvases. Writers of historical novels will come here for the breath of authenticity." (p. 35)
American writer Clifford D. Simak's City is a notable example of the "fix-up novel": a series of formerly independent, although similar in some aspects to the others, narratives that are meshed together by some sort of framing element to make a quasi-novel out of short fictions. At times, these "fix-ups" work well: Walter M. Miller, Jr.'s A Canticle for Leibowitz perhaps is one of the best-known and loved examples of this. However, there can be weaknesses that crop up when forcing short fictions into a larger whole. Sometimes, narrative energy is dispersed and the creaky edges of each individual story segment reveal quite clearly the spot welding applied to the narrative seams. City unfortunately is less than the sum of its part.
City is divided into eight stories woven together with short framing sections. Stretching over 12,000 years, from the then-near future (the 1990s) to a distant future in which sentient, speaking dogs have replaced humans as the dominant mammalian species, these stories explore issues of longing for peaceful interaction. Humans fade away over the course of these stories. They leave their earthly burdens for a transfigured life as Lopers on Jupiter. It is a quietly depressing theme, one that is borne out over the course of these stories.
There is a museum-like quality to these narratives. Oh, not the purposeful type, as is quoted above, but rather there is a sense of withdrawing, a placing of human achievement off to the side, at first to be admired by progeny that have left the crumbling tumult of cities for a simpler, more pastoral life. One such family, the Websters, are seen at various points over the course of these stories, along with a near-immortal mutant and a robotic servant. As the stories progress, a quiet sense of despair becomes apparent. Here, escape is idealized - humans leave Earth for a paradise, at the cost of their own humanity. The dogs are left to battle with sentient ants, with a further increase in a sort of entropic torpor that persists until the final epilogue appears to sputter like a dampened roman candle.
For some, these stories build up one another to create a rather damning commentary on human life and our propensity for dreaming even as we obliterate all that we supposedly hold dear. There is something to that, as there is that growing disillusionment with the waking world that is present throughout the generations of Websters and those associated with them. Yet many, and I am one of them, will find themselves dissatisfied with it. The stories feel muted, robbed of potential narrative power because there is no conflict when one side just surrenders and fades away into oblivion.
This is only compounded by the herky-jerky nature of this particular fix-up. With only a few recurring characters, there is little connecting these stories. By the time one reads 25-30 pages, one story has faded and one gets to experience another iteration of Simak's theme of disillusioning escapism, only with other characters. There is no sense of depth here, likely due to the lack of apparent conflict or narrative tension. The simplicity of the narrative/societal fade to black has as its downside the lack of narrative energy; what's the point of caring about any of this when it is clear from the very beginning that there is so little to do other than to shrug one's shoulders?
City may have held an appeal for those readers from the 1940s-1980 that read these tales, but today it is hard to laud a work in which the theme is rather stark, the characters mere ciphers, and prose that is merely serviceable. There is little to recommend it to those who want something more challenging than a simple capitulation to extinction. It is a work that may intrigue some, but it lacks anything in the way of narrative energy that would leave readers pondering its message long after the final page is turned. City is merely a competent work, not anything worthy of being preserved for future generations of SF readers. It is one of the weakest choices in the SF Masterworks series.

SF Masterworks #83: Joanna Russ, The Female Man
When Janet Evason returned to the New Forest and the experimenters at the Pole Station were laughing their heads off (for it was not a dream) I sat in a cocktail party in mid-Manhattan. I had just changed into a man, me, Joanna. I mean a female man, of course; my body and soul were exactly the same.
So there's me also. (p. 5)
Joanna Russ' 1975 novel, The Female Man, still contains the power to provoke reflective thoughts and, in many cases, strong emotional responses thirty-six years after its initial release. Even today, many of the gender issues which she raises in this highly influential novel spark debates (as witnessed in the recent round of debates over the role of female authors in SF and the perceived need for greater visibility; one such response leading to the creation of the "Russ Pledge" to discuss female SF writers more frequently) over female participation in fields that may formerly (or currently?) be seen as male domains. It is a touchy topic for some to approach the discussion of second-wave feminist critiques, particularly if the reviewer is male, but it is much worse for anyone, regardless of gender, to shy away from exploring a work that explodes discriminatory myths in a complex, wide-ranging narrative.
The Female Man fragments its narrative among four female narrators from parallel worlds: Janet, who comes from the all-female world of Whileaway (a portentous name) where men died from a plague 800 years prior to the events of the novel; Jeannie, a librarian who lives in an alt-US society where the Great Depression has never ended and where women are defined by their marriageability rather than by their talents; Joanna, a 1970s feminist who emulates certain "masculine" qualities in order to succeed in a chauvinist world as the titular "female man;" and Jael, a warrior in a world where men and women openly war with one another. As the story expands from Janet's initial visit to Jeannine's world and then Joanna's, there begins to emerge a mosaic representation of the struggles that women have had to endure: from the catcalls to engrained views of "feminine" and "masculine" roles to subconscious reactions to certain triggers found in quotidian life. Each character gives voice to these issues, sometimes in a direct fashion, such as the one Joanna gives in Part Six:
I live between worlds. Half the time I like doing housework. I care a lot about how I look, I warm up to men and flirt beautifully (I mean I really admire them, though I'd die before I took the initiative; that's men's business), I don't press my point in conversations, and I enjoy cooking. I like to do things for other people, especially male people. I sleep well, wake up on the dot, and dont dream. There's only one thing wrong with me.
I'm frigid.
In my other incarnation I live out such a plethora of conflict that you wouldn't think I'd survive, would you, but I do; I wake up enraged, go to sleep in numbed despair, face what I know perfectly well is condescension and abstract contempt, get into quarrels, shout, fret about people I don't even know, live as if I were the only woman in the world trying to buck it all, work like a pig, strew my whole apartment with notes, articles, manuscripts, books, get frowsty, don't care, become stridently contentious, sometimes laugh and weep within five minutes together out of pure frustration. It takes me two hours to get to sleep and an hour to wake up. I dream at my desk. I dream all over the place. I'm very badly dressed.
But O how I relish my victuals! And O how I fuck! (p. 110)
This quote, along with the first one, represents much of the conflict found within the novel. The Female Man works not only as an excellent SF novel of exploring female identity, but also it serves as an influential work of social commentary that takes as its base a fundamentally Marxist view of society, replete with superstructures and class conflict, and fuses it with second-wave feminist concerns about representation and social equality. It is not a cheery novel; fights rarely are graceful or polite. No, The Female Man stridently argues its points in short, sharp, angry bursts that shake readers' preconceptions of gender roles.
This can generate confusion and awkwardness, as each gender group struggles to reconfigure their group views on what is "proper." A male holding a door open for a woman might not be polite (unless he does this for fellow males, perhaps), but instead someone who is subconsciously reinforcing social views that hold women in an inferior, "delicate" role in which the males are to be the chivalrous protectors of feminine dignity. As the four narrators traverse their worlds and see the insidiousness of sexism in a variety of guides, a commonality begins to emerge that links their disparate roles and actions into a thematic whole.
The Female Man is not without its weak points, however. The stridency that makes its points vividly can also be construed as being too full of anger to reflect fully the range of social interactions between males and females and female responses to the world around them. Many readers, male and female alike, may find Russ' approach to be too stark, too black-and-white for the early 21st century (indeed, third-wave feminism has moved away from several of the approaches championed by second-wave activists). This is said not to gainsay what Russ has created, but rather to note that powerful works often do create reactions against the work as well as those in favor of it. If anything, this is a greater testimony to the influence that The Female Man still possesses over people, female and male alike, and this makes The Female Man one of the most essential fictions ever produced in the late 20th century.

SF Masterworks #93: Karel Čapek, R.U.R. and War with the Newts
R.U.R.
Say the word "robot" today and people are most likely to envision a metallic entity, maybe humanoid in shape but not necessarily so, that may be programmed to protect human life or, conversely, to destroy it. But if you had said the word "roboti" in say 1920 in what is now the Czech Republic, very different images would be conjured. It would not be of an entity, but rather verbiage denoting drudgery and slave labor. It is due to Czech writer Karel Čapek's 1920 play, R.U.R. that the descriptor "roboti" morphed into the noun "robot" and spread far and wide from its Czech roots, altering in meaning along the way.
Čapek was one of the leading Central European writers in the aftermath of World War I. His fiction, the most prominent of which were R.U.R. and the 1936 novel The War with the Newts, often employed allegories to address issues such as the treatment of the workers, the rise of fascism, and the dangers of violent proletarian revolution. Although The War with the Newts. may be the technically better work of the two, R.U.R. contains a power of its own that can still move readers (and even more, play viewers) ninety years after its initial release.
The story is divided into three acts and a short epilogue, spanning ten years in length. At some indeterminate time in the twentieth century, the scientist Rossum (whose name appears to be taken from a Czech word for "reason") has experimented with biological material to create sentient beings who lack the demands that cause human labor to be so high. Here, Harry Domin, General Manager of Rossum's Universal Robots, explains to Helena Glory (his future wife) how the robots came to be:
Domin: Well, any one who has looked into human anatomy will have seen at once that man is too complicated, and that a good engineer could make him more simply. So young Rossum began to overhaul anatomy and tried to see what could be left out or simplified. In short - but this isn't boring you, Miss Glory?
Helena: No indeed. You're - it's awfully interesting.
Domin: So young Rossum said to himself: "A man is something that feels happy, plays the piano, likes going for a walk, and in fact, wants to do a whole lot of things that are really unnecessary."
Helena: Oh.
Domin: That are unnecessary when he wants, let us say, to weave or count. Do you play the piano?
Helena: Yes.
Domin: That's good. But a working machine must not play the piano, must not feel happy, must not do a whole lot of other things. A gasoline motor must not have tassels or ornaments, Miss Glory. And to manufacture artificial workers is the same thing as to manufacture gasoline motors. The process must be of the simplest, and the product of the best from a practical point of view. What sort of worker do you think is the best from a practical point of view?
Helena: What?
Domin: What sort of worker do you think is the best from a practical point of view?
Helena: Perhaps the one who is most honest and hardworking.
Domin: No; the one that is the cheapest. The one whose requirements are the smallest. Young Rossum invented a worker with the minimum amount of requirements. He had to simplify him. He rejected everything that did not contribute directly to the progress of work - everything that makes man more expensive. In fact, he rejected man and made the Robot. My dear Miss Glory, the Robots are not people. Mechanically they are more perfect than we are, they have an enormously developed intelligence, but they have no soul. (pp. 5-6)
Consider this exchange in light of the immediate post-World War I years. Mass production has come to dominate matters, requiring workers who can do repetitive tasks quickly and efficiently. Economies of scale are beginning to emerge, with "overhead" needing to be eliminated whenever possible in order to lower costs, both production and retail alike. Workers do not want to work for low wages; general strikes had begun to emerge a generation before. And looming like a black cloud is the self-proclaimed proletarian state that the Bolsheviks were in the midst of establishing in Russia in 1920. In many senses, the "robots" of this story, produced from biological material and designed to be docile, work-oriented bio-machines, are but an analogue for the envisioned "perfect" worker, one that would do the drudgery docilely and not demand too much in exchange.
But these robots are too alien for the likes of Domin. Over a span of ten years, he tinkers with Rossum's formula in an attempt to create a robot more akin to humans. What he unleashes is a maelstrom, as the engineered robots come to see humans not as masters, but as imperfect mechanisms that must be destroyed. The Robots rise up in their own form of a proletarian revolt:
Dr. Gall: What happened?
Domin: Damnation!
Fabry: Bear in mind that the Amelia brought whole bales of these leaflets. No other cargo at all.
Hallemeier: What? But it arrived on the minute.
Fabry: The Robots are great on punctuality. Read it, Domin.
Domin: {Reads handbill} "Robots throughout the world: We, the first international organization of Rossum's Universal Robots, proclaim man as our enemy, and an outlaw in the universe." Good heavens, who taught them these phrases?
Dr. Gall: Go on.
Domin: They say they are more highly developed than man, stronger and more intelligent. That man's their parasite. Why, it's absurd.
Fabry: Read the third paragraph.
Domin: "Robots throughout the world, we command you to kill all mankind. Spare no men. Spare no women. Save factories, railways, machinery, mines, and raw materials. Destroy the rest. Then return to work. Work must not be stopped." (p. 34)
This development parallels that of the newts in The War with the Newts. Humans think they can master and control other sentient life, only to discover that resentment builds to the point of violent revolt against human rule. Viewed in light of the events transpiring between 1917 and 1939, Čapek's works could be viewed as an indictment of the industrial capitalist system. But Čapek is not a socialist sympathizer. In both works and especially here in R.U.R., he takes great pains to show the follies of the revolting side. The robots do "triumph," and all but one menial laborer, Alquist, are killed. There are no more humans. However, the robots cannot replicate themselves and they try and force Alquist to recreate Rossum's success in vat-producing biological robots. He fails, but in the midst of these experiments of dissection and testing, it is discovered that two robots, Primus and the robot copy of Helena, have evolved the ability to love, an extraneous feature in robots, but essential in human beings. The play ends with the hope that these two will be the new Adam and Eve for a self-replicating humano-robot species.
Čapek's works are often fraught with this mixture of the dark and the vaguely hopeful. It is perhaps part of the esprit du temps, to be horror-stricken at the massive changes and devastation wrought by the Great War, but Čapek's works still resonate strongly today because we can easily sense our own faults, follies, and hopes within his characters and their situations. Although R.U.R. does not contain the layers of meaning that The War with the Newts possesses, it certainly is a major achievement in interwar theater, one that still possesses vitality even today.
More than any other century, the 20th century (and particularly its first half) is known for its dystopic novels. In an age of great upheaval brought about first by the calamitous Great War/World War I, which gave rise to the Bolshevik Revolution, Fascism, National Socialism, and the conflicts these three daughter movements caused, so much faith in the almost holy notion of "progress" was lost. Whether one looks at Zamyatin's We, Huxley's Brave New World, or Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984, the effects of this disillusionment are widely evident. Technology is treacherous, at least as prone to betrayal as the humans surrounding the books' protagonists. There is a vague menace in each of these books, as if "progress" was the Edenic apple being offered by the totalitarian ruler/serpent. The palpable sense of fear and worry that radiates throughout these texts makes for exciting, troublesome reads.
Czech writer Karel Čapek wrote in 1936 an allegorical/SF novel that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the classics noted above. His War with the Newts is in many senses an even more dystopic novel than the four novels listed above. Instead of rooting the problems in a rapacious and/or uncaring society or government, Čapek goes further, attempting to bare the sordid shared human past and how horribly we have treated ourselves and others in the past and present. Despite being written nearly 75 years ago, War with the Newts still has the power to unsettle us, since so few of the issues referenced there have ever really been resolved.
The story begins with the discovery of a rare, humanoid-shaped species of newts in the South Indian Ocean near Indonesia. The discoverers quickly discover that this hitherto unknown newt species is extremely intelligent and is capable of learning and speaking human languages. Just before discovery, the captain of the merchant ship in the area is incredulous when a native tells him of the "tapas" who inhabit this area. The dialogue is rather revealing, as it mirrors what happens later when a "tapa" is taken into captivity:
Captain J. van Toch turned crimson. "What?" he bawled. "You dirty Cuban, you think that I shall be frightened of your devils? We'll see about that," he cried, rising with all the greatness of his honest fourteen stones. "I'm not going to waste my time here with you when I have my business to look after. But remember there aren't any devils in Dutch colonies; if there are any anywhere, then they're in the French ones. There might be some there. And now fetch me the mayor of this damned kampong here." (p. 17)
Note the casual dismissal of a native's account. Pay close attention to the dehumanizing "devils." The unknown or rumor of the unknown often brings forth charges of the object/entity being non-human, often vaguely threatening to any sense of propriety that the holder of these opinions may have. But what happens after first contact? Well, what would you think people would do with a verified sentient being that has been captured?
Some time later Sir Charles was sitting beside Professor Petrov and discussing the so-called animal intelligence, conditioned reflexes, and how popular ideas overrate the reasoning powers of animals. Professor Petrov expressed his doubts about the Elberfeld horses which, it was said, could not only count, but also raise a number to a higher power and find the square root of a number; "for not even a normal, intelligent man can extract the square root of a number, can he?" said the great scientist. Sir Charles remembered Gregg's talking salamander. "I have a salamander here," he began with hesitation, "it's that one known as Andrias Scheuchzeri, and it's learned to talk like a cockatoo." (pp. 114-115)
From demon to being treated like an animal. It is really surprising that Čapek's narrative follows closely the treatment of indigenous groups at the hands of an invading, "colonizing" power? For the first first or so of the novel, the newts are shown to be very adaptable, intelligent creatures; the humans around them are boorish, self-satisfied, rather bigoted individuals who deign to believe that the newts are suffering from this malign treatment. A whole host of social issues, ranging from slavery to the exploitation of the proletariat by the leisure classes, underlies this first part of the novel.
But Čapek is not content to make just an allegory for human mistreatment of other humans. Instead, he goes further, referencing World War I and the militarism of the German, Italian, Polish, and Russian governments of the 1930s. While the newts have managed to gain some half-hearted recognition that they are not to be enslaved, the menial drudgery that they undertake in the coastal regions is supplemented by secretive arming plans by the Great Powers that are supplying "their" newts with undersea-adapted weapons. Yet despite this arms race, the Great Powers fail to grasp the demographic pressures facing the newts as their population swells to several times that of the human populations. Here, the echoes of Lebensraum are found in the increasingly strident demands of the hidden, secretive "Chief Salamander." When his demands are unmet, the newts unleash destructive explosive devices that cause massive earthquakes and the creation of new coastal plains for the newts to live. The humans go to war with them, but they are threatened with destruction by an enemy that has surpassed them without any ever realizing beforehand just how dangerous they had become.
War with the Newts is a powerful allegorical tale of how easy it is for people to ignore the needs and desires of others, how quick people can be to subjugate another group, just because of slight differences in appearance and customs. These themes are not rooted in any one time (despite Čapek's references to "Nordic Salamanders" and other plays on Nazi racial laws), but instead are universal human concerns that have plagued societies for millennia. Čapek addresses these issues in a way that makes for a fast-paced yet instructive read that leaves the reader with much to consider. As a dystopia, War with the Newts is scary in just how plausible its thematic elements (e.g. of how casual dismissal of one group could lead to that group rising up to overthrow the established order) still can be in this age and time. It is a novel that survives the test of time precisely because of how "current" its concerns are even now in the early 21st century. Highly recommended.

Q: is there something equivalent to 'Address of' or offset operator in .net? We have nested stuctures as such, used as an interface for some device drivers. On occasion we have to update individual elements. An 'address of' operator would be helpful, but an 'offset' function or operator is what I'm really looking for, but not sure how to go about it. In other words, how far is structureN.elementX away from the start of the structure in bytes?
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct s1
{
    UInt16 elem1;
    UInt16 elem2;
    UInt16 elem3;
}

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct s2
{
    UInt16 elem1;
    UInt16 elem2;
    UInt16 elem3;
}

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct driver
{
    public S1 s1;
    public S2 s2;
}

For instance we need to send the device driver some data to update driver.s1.elem3, by way of providing an offset address, data block and length. We would update our local copy, then call the device api with the afore mentioned data. Not sure I have to do this with 'unsafe' method calls. Any help?

A: Consider working with your device and user interface developers to abstract this implementation into more appropriate components.
A UI that directly interacts in such a low-level manner with device drivers will be difficult to maintain, test, and create (obviously - no AddressOf is an issue already ;-).
Consider restructuring into both a UI project/application (.NET), and then either an unmanaged library you can p/invoke or use COM to talk to that does the device driver work... or see if managed .NET C++ can get you part of the way there.
Sorry for not directly answering the question, but I argue an app architecture change may be more important here for this instance than a technical answer.

Jill Hennessy: Bob Hawke 'always on the side of fairness and decency'
State Member for Altona and current Attorney General for Victoria, Jill Hennessy, has reflected on Australia's longest serving Labor Prime Minister Bob Hawke who died, aged 89, on Thursday.
The Labor MP described Bob Hawke as 'a hero of the Labor Party' but someone who was 'loved by our whole country', acknowledging that the former Prime Minister was highly regarded by the people and both sides of politics.
"Bold and brilliant. Visionary, authentic and indefatigable. Always on the side of fairness and decency. Loveable, imperfect and inspirational. The Shakespeare of our national story. The joint feels smaller without him already," Ms Hennessy said.
In more recent years, Bob Hawke has put his political influence behind a number of campaigns, but one which was close to Jill Hennessy's heart during her time as Minister for Health was the introduction of assisted dying laws in Australia.
In 2016, during an interview with broadcaster Andrew Denton, Bob Hawke said opposition to euthanasia 'doesn't meet any requirements of morality and good sense' and Australia had the legal and medical framework to manage such a law.
"I am more than happy for my name to be associated with a clear statement of belief that the time has come where we in Australia should have clear legislation on our books that makes euthanasia legal," Mr Hawke said.
In the same interview where they were discussing euthanasia, Bob Hawke revealed to broadcaster Andrew Denton that he had discussed end-of-life options with his wife Blanche D'Alpuget.
"I have an understanding with Blanche. I could not stand to lose my marbles. If that were to happen then something should be done about it. I don't expect a pillow pressed over my nose, but I'm sure something could be arranged with the family doctor," Mr Hawke said.
A voluntary assisted dying bill was introduced to parliament in 2017, not long after Jill's mother, Joan Hennessy, fought a losing battle with MS, diagnosed shortly after the birth of Jill. Joan was wheelchair bound raising kids, until eventually requiring full time care.
Jill Hennessy was kept in parliament for 26 hours as Victoria's historic assisted dying laws were debated, with opposition MPs using every possible delay and deferral opportunity available throughout the protracted debate. The bill eventually passed and was made law.
Bob Hawke also had a literally life-changing effect on Federal Member for Gellibrand Tim Watts. Tim's family provides him with a constant reminder of just one of the many fights fought by a man who would always fight for fair, and for those who needed it most.
"There are many Hawke achievements being celebrated, but I'll always be personally thankful that when John Howard said that too many people like my family – Chinese-Australians – were coming to Australia, Bob Hawke stopped him dead," Mr Watts said.
"Vale Bob Hawke. Labor leader, Prime Minister, legend. Australians everywhere remember and honour you as a man who gave so much to the country and its people, who you cared for so deeply. Raise a glass for one of the greats, Australia."

The Case of the 'Disabled Signatory'
It's not how you expect to be treated by the law firm that bears your name and where you have been practicing law for more than 40 years. Yet, when Robert Monaghan became disabled, his Livingston, N.J., firm not only stopped his paychecks but also dropped him from the health insurance plan. At least, that's Monaghan's account in a suit filed against Morgan, Melhuish, Monaghan, Arvidson, Abrutyn & Lisowski and his four fellow equity partners.

Mendelian Genetics. Peas are self-pollinated, and the seven traits he chose to measure are inherited as single factors, so Mendel could establish true-breeding lines for each trait. Thus, he was able to select the parent traits, pollinate the flowers, and count the results in the offspring with no complicating elements.
Jan 22, 2009 · Best Answer: Back during the time of Mendel, people didn't know how or why or the chances of different traits being passed on from generation to generation, but they knew it happened. Mendel wanted to find out what traits were passed, why they were passed, and the chances of them being passed on. True-breeding pea plants were important because he didn't want mixed results.

Mareel receives Commendation from Civic Trust Awards
By Shetland Arts
Mareel has received a Commendation from the Civic Trust Awards, one of only five Scottish projects to receive a Commendation. From 238 applications, 134 were progressed for consideration by the National Panel (12 from Scotland). A total of 79 national and international projects were rewarded with a Civic Trust Award, Commendation, or Community Recognition.
Commendations are given to projects that make a significant contribution to the quality and appearance of the built environment and demonstrate a good standard of architecture or design, sustainability, universal design and provide a positive social, cultural, environmental or economic benefit to the local community.
Managed by Shetland Arts Development Agency, the leading arts agency in Shetland, Mareel is the UK's most northerly music, cinema and creative industries centre.
The building, designed by Gareth Hoskins Architects, is situated in a prominent quayside area in Lerwick, adjacent to the Shetland Museum and Archives and incorporates: a live performance auditorium, two cinema screens, rehearsal rooms, a recording studio, education and training spaces, a digital media production suite, broadcast facilities and a cafe bar with free, high speed wi-fi internet access. Providing a year round programme of film, live music, education and other performance events, Mareel is a hub and a focus for the creative communities in Shetland and beyond.

In their Commendation the Civic Trust Awards described Mareel as: "a key element in the regeneration of [the] waterfront edge of the town." They added: "The architectural response reflects the tradition of simple, robust forms and echoes the materiality of the fishing industry buildings dotted along the waterfront.
Shetland Arts' Director, Gwilym Gibbons, said: "Mareel is a very special venue. A tribute to the design is the speed and the way in which people have made Mareel their new creative home. Mareel has one of the best attended cinemas in the UK, a busy recording studio linked to the main auditorium with a sought after acoustic quality that has led artists to choose Shetland over other studios in the UK. The venue also houses the delivery of further and higher education courses and a broad range of live music is performed on the Mareel stage, regularly live streamed to the world through our in house broadcast partner 60 North TV. It has become a buzzing creative hub with a busy cafe bar which doubles up as an important social and business meeting point. Mareel a huge cultural asset, an asset that has value far beyond Shetland shores and for generations to come."

Los Angeles Department of Water & Power (LADWP) and Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) will present checks totaling more than $1 million in incentives to Hanjin International Corporation, architect AC Martin, and design firm Glumac, for using materials and equipment that exceed rigorous state energy efficiency standards in the new Wilshire Grand Center.
Energy saving construction at the Wilshire Grand is expected to save nearly 2,175,000 kWh in electricity, enough to power 362 homes for a year, and more than 133,000 therms of natural gas each year, enough to fuel 71 homes for a year. This energy savings amounts to reduced emissions equivalent to taking about 500 cars off the road.
Non-residential building owners and designers are incentivized to build more energy-efficient projects under California's Savings By Design program, which is administered by the state's utilities under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Since the inception of Savings By Design six years ago, buildings designed or constructed under the program are projected to save nearly 75 million kWh, enough to power 6,000 homes for a year, and nearly 878,000 therms of natural gas, enough to fuel 503 homes a year. Combined energy savings can reduce emissions equivalent to taking nearly 13,000 cars off the road.
The Wilshire Grand is the tallest building west of the Mississippi and has achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification.
