DARREN HARVEY-REGAN
The Erratics (exposure 3), 2015
Fiber-based print.
Edition 2 of 6.
The Erratics uses photography as a derived or generative process in its relationship to sculpture, combining the two and three dimensional through natural and created forms and surfaces.
The Erratics is comprised of three components: (exposures) are images of the monolithic chalk formations found occurring in Egypt's White Desert, approached clearly through photography as part empathetic gesture, part abstracting extraction; both (wrest) - studio still-life photographs and (chalkfall in white) - a sculptural installation, use chalk collected from the rock falls along England's South Coast. The chalk is carved with razor blades to form smooth planes and geometric shapes, working with and against the rock's natural forms.
The Erratics draws heavily on Wilhelm Worringer's 1906 essay Abstraction and Empathy both as a background for the work and as a means to consider the nature of the photographic medium, especially in its relationship to what might constitute abstraction.
Darren Harvey-Regan (1974, Exeter, United Kingdom) is a London-based artist who uses photography to expose the medium's relationship to language and sculpture. The theme of transition runs through his pictures, with his photo montages showcasing a blend of certain forms of representation with others. Sculpture is prevalent in his work, with stone being a focal point in his acclaimed series "The Erratics". Harvey-Regan is a graduate of the Royal College of Art, and his solo exhibitions have been shown at Passaggi - Arte Contemporanea, Pisa, IT (2015); Cooperfield, London (2015-2016); The Ravestijn Gallery, Amsterdam (2013).

Q: preg_math_all | PHP | регулярные выражение | строки Имеется строка:
[HOST]127.0.0.1[/HOST][LOGIN]root[/LOGIN]
Дальше продолжать смысла нет.
Имеется строка, необходимо из вот этих самописных тегов, взять значения.
Пробовал preg_match_all не получалось ничего.
Кто знает как это можно организовать???
В интернете вообще нету информации по preg_match есть только примеры, но объяснений как это работает - нету. Поэтому и сложно в понимании.

A: В документации особо не расписано, как именно писать регулярные выражение, потому что они одинаковые везде, не только в пхп. Поэтому лишь рассказывает о функциях работы с ними, предполагается что синтаксис самих регулярок вы должны знать.
Можете попробовать следующий вариант кода:
$text = "[HOST]127.0.0.1[/HOST][LOGIN]root[/LOGIN]";

preg_match_all('/\[(?<tag>\w+)\](?<value>.*?)\[\/\1\]/iu', $text, $matches);

$result = array_combine($matches['tag'], $matches['value']);
print_r($result);

результатом работы будет
Array (
   [HOST] => 127.0.0.1
   [LOGIN] => root
)

Возьмем все выражение целиком: \[(?<tag>\w+)\](?<value>.*?)\[\/\1\]
Возможно, вы знаете что группы соотвествий заключаются в круглые скобки. Данные группы можно именовать, и имена групп задаются с помощью конструкции как тут ?<tag> или ?<value>. Это будут ключи соответствий в результирующем массиве $matches.
Опустим эти имена, и наше выражение будет следующим \[(\w+)\](.*?)\[\/\1\], что становится куда короче.
Первая часть \[(\w+)\]. Поскольку символы [] имеют в руглярках свое знание, то они экранированы. Между ними остается группа (\w+), где скобки обозначают саму группу захвата, а \w+ соответствуют 1 и более символов из набора a-z0-9_.
В конце регулякри присутствует \[\/\1\], здесь помимо [] также экранируется и закрывающий слэш тэга /. Далее имеется \1, это называется обратной ссылкой и говорит о том, что текст должн соответствовать первой группе захвата, то есть тексту открывающего тэга.
Ну и наконец в середине (.*?), здесь также скобки означают группу захвата. Точка . обозначает любой символ. * обозначает что число символов от 0 и более. Знак вопроса ? это модификатор жадности поиска, с ним результат будет содержать минимальную строку.
сама регулярка ограничивается символами / (или другими, т.е. /текст регулярки/)  и имеет модификаторы iu(регистронезависимый поиск с учетом юникода).

A: Для разбора строк с известным заранее форматом можно использовать функцию sscanf (это такой, своеобразный, printf наоборот)
Т.е. в вашем случае так
sscanf($input, "[HOST]%s[/HOST][LOGIN]%s[/LOGIN]", $host, $login);

Соответственно в $host и $login будут помещены значения соответствующих %s.
PS У нее есть некоторые нюансы использования, так что рекомендую тщательно изучить документацию в части правил разбора модификаторов

Nick Cannon has removed his wedding ring for the first time since confirming he's splitting from songstress Mariah Carey.
The "America's Got Talent" host appeared on the show Monday with his ring then on Tuesday, he emerged without it and again on Wednesday night.
Sources tell Page Six Cannon, 33, is "depressed" over his failed marriage with Carey, 45.
Last week, Cannon came clean about the negative headlines. He told The Insider, "There is trouble in paradise. We have been living in separate houses for a few months."

When divorce rumors began circulating, a rep for Carey said "I am not commenting on Mariah's personal life, but Mariah is focusing on her children and her upcoming tour."
Cannon's father, James, came to his son's defense and claimed Cannon never cheated. "I'm shocked because everything was beautiful as far as I knew," he said about their split.
Under terms of their agreement, Cannon isn't allowed to publicly comment on their impending divorce. If he violates the agreement, he'll be forced to pay a financial penalty.
The pair married in 2008 have a two children together.

There are different types Hamble Bowling Clubs in Hampshire.
The most common form of bowling now is ten pin bowling. In ten pin bowling, matches consist of each player bowling a game. Every game is divided into ten frames. A frame allows a bowler two chances to knock down all ten pins. The number of pins knocked over in each frame is recorded, a running total is made below the individual frame score as each frame goes on, and the player with the highest score in his/her game wins the match. Scores can be greater than the actual number of pins knocked over if strikes or spares are bowled. You score 10 points when you knock over all 10 pins - this is called a strike. Rather than a score of just 10 for the frame, the player's score will be 10 plus the total pins knocked down on the next two rolls in the next frame(s). A spare is scored when all pins are knocked down using the second roll in the frame. The player's score for that frame will be 10 plus the number of pins knocked down on the first roll in the next frame. A player who rolls a spare or strike in the last frame is given one (if it was a spare in the previous frame) or two more rolls (if it was a strike in the previous frame) to score additional points.
As usual in most sports there are colloquialisms for various activities in a match. Two consecutive strikes is acknowledged as a double. 3 consecutive strikes is acknowledged as a turkey. Four consecutive strikes is acknowledged as a four bagger. Five consecutive strikes is known as a five bagger and so on. A perfect game consists of 12 consecutive strikes, one for each frame and 2 more on the extra rolls in the 10th, and results in a perfect score of 300. A clean game is filling every frame with either a spare or a strike.
At the same time as playing the game, situations can arise called splits. This is when two or more of the pins are separated by knocked over pins which makes it harder or damn near impossible (i.e. when the two outside pins are left).
The game is played in pairs or teams and the idea is to win a game (usually up to 21 or 25 points) or to a particular number of ends. A draw is possible when playing ends - or depending on the rules you can play more ends until there is a positive outcome. Set scoring can also be played whenever the scoring is lower as the game is split into sets (three of five akin to tennis). Every player will get 2 bowls normally - can be 4 each as well where the jack is thrown (usually a white ball or a small black ball with no bias) that the players have to get as near too as they can.


Painless, progressive weakness - Could this be Motor Neurone Disease? is a new diagnostic tool for GPs. The tool outlines the 'red flags' for MND including signs and symptoms, common features and supporting factors that point towards a diagnosis of MND.
The researchers identified a variation in the CCNF gene in some members of an Australian family with MND and/or FTD. When they extended the study globally, they found additional variations of the CCNF gene in other families as well as in 'sporadic' cases of MND and/or FTD, which are those without a family history of the diseases. This latest finding published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications suggests a common mechanism for the development of MND and FTD, and adds to a growing list of genes implicated in MND. About 10% of MND occurs in families and symptoms are indistinguishable from sporadic cases. Up to 15% of MND patients are also diagnosed with FTD.
What a lovely day in Forbes on Sunday 17 April for the Walk to d'Feet MND. Thank you to Pat Duncan and her side kick Marcia who did a great job again this year in organising a fantastic day. A huge thank you to Stewart and Rodney from Duncan Stockcrates who were the major sponsors for the second year running.
Each year the first full week of May, Sunday to Saturday marks MND Week. It is our chance to focus on awareness but we can't do it without you. This year our focus will be on promoting the diagnosis of MND and providing information to GPs to help them seek an early diagnosis leading to better care and support. Our national social media campaign #7dayswithMND will shed light on people living with MND, their family, carers and health professionals and researchers.
Stay up to date with what is happening in MND Week by reading about the planned events here and by watching our Facebook page. And make sure you let us know of any events taking place in your area!
2016 will see the start of safety and tolerability testing of combination anti-retroviral therapy in a phase 2 clinical trial called The Lighthouse Project. The overall aim of the project is to test the possibility that a virus may be a cause or trigger for motor neuron disease (MND).


We just released a new version of feedly for iOS and Android. New look, richer personalization and simpler navigation are at the heart of this release.
Special thanks to all the beta testers who have been working behind the scenes over the last three months to help polish the experience. We love you for all insight and suggestions you provided.
Issue #1: if you use Google 2-factor authentication, then you will need to create an application specific password to be able to login to feedly. Feedly will remember it. We are working on using OAuth2 to avoid this in the next release.
Issue #2: The application crashes on iOS 4.x. The work around is to upgrade to iOS 5.1. If that is not an option, we will have a build out within the next 10 days which addresses this issue.

Animal Care Volunteers Bite Back
At an animal rights debate last week, five mayoral hopefuls voiced their support for a change in city oversight of animal shelters.
New York Observer
By Rebecca Mintzer
Inside the squalid world of NYC's animal shelters

Public Advocate Bill de Blasio set his sights on Animal Care and Control of New York City, the organization that runs the city's shelters. "AC&C has been a mess," Mr. de Blasio said. "It's been unfair to animals and unfair to everyone who cares about animals."
According to former volunteers, Mr. de Blasio's comment is right on the mark.
"A dog will have a Post-it note on its kennel card saying 'move to isolation ward' and it'll be there for five days and they'll put a new arrival right next to it," said one volunteer, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "There is no disease management or infection control."
Jeff Latzer, an ex-volunteer, agreed. "If you really want to quarantine your animals," Mr. Latzer said, "you need to have a separate HVAC air system going into the quarantine system, and a separate one for adoption, and a third one for incoming animals. When it's all combined you have this stale air, which becomes a petri dish for disease and infections."
Mr. Latzer is one of a group of ex-volunteers whose experiences helped inform a report, put out early this year by Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, which raised questions about AC&C shelter facilities.
Mr. Stringer's report portrayed a chronically underfunded and overcrowded shelter system in which employee negligence and unsanitary conditions lead to an infection rate of nearly 100 percent for animals after intake.
AC&C spokesperson Richard Gentles, however, disputed critics' characterizations of sanitary conditions.
"AC&C has cleaning policies, procedures and protocols in place to help limit the spread of infectious illnesses in the care centers," Mr. Gentles said via email, explaining that all kennels are thoroughly broken down and cleaned at least once a day.
"Volunteers," he added, "play a vital role in the operation of our shelter system, and we are very grateful for their support and hard work."

According to those who have spent time volunteering, though, few people show up on a regular basis to help out. Whether it's the stress of spending time at a shelter where animals face the threat of euthanasia or the burden of working in an environment where, some say, basic needs of animals are often neglected, turnover is high.
Mr. Latzer said that volunteers find different ways to try and make animals' lives better in the shelter environment. For some, this means buying extra toys and healthier food. Others help out by obtaining euthanasia lists—released every night—and anonymously asking animal rescue organizations to save the animals before it's too late.
But it is slow going, and some have moved to advocate for systemic change.
Esther Koslow, a former AC&C volunteer, serves on the board of the Shelter Reform Action Committee, a coalition of animal rights advocates devoted to reforming the city-funded shelters.
The SRAC advocates for a divorce of the animal shelter system — which operates shelters in Harlem, Brooklyn and Staten Island under a five-year, $36 million contract— from the city Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
The committee argues that the department is much more concerned about animal control than animal care, resulting in poor funding to AC&C—which has not had a full-time medical director since 2010, according to Mr. Stringer's recent report.
"If you look at the Department of Health mandate," Ms. Koslow said, "the only mention of animals is to protect people from animals and animal diseases."
Ms. Koslow and other ex-volunteer advocates favor a conservancy model for the shelter system, which would allow for an independent and expanded board of directors with more animal care expertise and fundraising prowess.
Unsanitary conditions, November 20, 2010. (Photo: Jeff Latzer)
AC&C, for its part, has begun to make some changes on the heels of Mr. Stringer's report. The agency is hiring new staff for several positions and creating a separate department devoted to adoptions. It's also slated to receive a total of $10 million in additional funding from the city by next year, which it will use to add more shelter staff and expand some existing services.
But volunteers-turned-reformers say they're skeptical much is changing.
"The AC&C has been in operation since January 1, 1995," Ms. Koslow said, "and they just decided, oddly enough after the Stringer report came out, that, 'Gee, you know what, we should have an adoptions staff.'"
Ms. Koslow and Mr. Latzer both said they will fight to change the system from the outside, whether it's by testifying at City Council hearings or spreading the word to the public in New York and beyond through social media.
The city, they added, contains enough compassion for animal welfare, as well as the resources and energy to make reform a reality—if only New Yorkers knew what was going on right under their noses.


Research Australia made a submission to the Senate Committee inquiring into the Therapeutic Goods Amendment (2017 Measures No. 1) Bill 2017. This Bill is the latest instalment in amendments to implement the recommendations of a Review conducted in 2015 with the aim of improving the processes for the approval of medicines and medical devices by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), and to provide consumers with better information.
Research Australia supported the amendments to improve access to potentially lifesaving medicines for patients with few or no other options. In doing so, it will implement a scheme that is similar to those already operating in the USA and European Union.
Research Australia also supported the proposed changes to the marketing of complementary medicines, although we urged the Senate Committee to recommend the legislation be amended to include disclaimers to the effect that the efficacy claims for the products have not been independently assessed and/or are based on traditional use rather than scientific evidence.
Research Australia Submission on the TGA amendments.
The Senate Committee issued its Report on 2 February, noting Research Australia's submissions. It has recommended that the Senate pass the Bill. In responding to concerns raised by the Committee about advertising of complementary medicines, the Department has outlined measures that will be taken to ensure the public is aware that efficacy claims are based on traditional use rather than scientific evidence. The Committee has also urged the Government to ensure the TGA is adequately resourced to undertake its monitoring activities.

Sock yarn isn't just for socks! This fab jumper is knitted on a circular needle with two strands of DROPS Delight.


I have a moment (a rare occurrence these days.) So I'll give an update on how we're doing with our new routines and happenings.
So with that said... See Ya!;)... Just Kidding.
Let me give a few details.
We had a short week this week. The Big school had Monday off, which meant Papa had Monday off. So our first day was Tuesday (it's Thursday today.) So we've had three days of following the MBTP Program, Seminary, and Math. With playgroup and St. Patrick's Day mixed in. I think it's safe to say that it's been great!
I really enjoy the MBTP program. It's not too easy and not too hard. It doesn't take too long, and it's not too short. It's perfect for our schedule (around 2 hours or less). The only part Jakob doesn't Love is the handwriting pages. But that's just him. H would LOVE it if "Creative" handwriting was allowed. So, it is a tolerated Need for Jakob.
Our school week is Monday through Thursday. However, I'm going to hold school tomorrow for Jakob because one of the lesson's fit in with our family plans (we're going to a discovery park.) I'm really looking forward to the upcoming week as well. Jakob will love it, it's all about exploring our environment. One of my favorite things about MBTP is their Final Projects. The kids are able to create a project that is an overview of all that they have learned in the unit. LOVE IT!
MBTP covers phonics and handwriting. But probably not enough for very beginning readers. So I will be using another program to help me stay on track with Jakob's reading. I'll tell you about that in the future.
Wednesday and Thursday are Jakob's official Math Days. He goes over to a friend's house for a math lesson. THANKS Tammie!!! Randomly through the week I will be using our purchased math program as well.
And Seminary: Ahhh, that has been very special! I call it Seminary for lack of a better word. In reality, it's one hour where Jakob and I play some sort of game, craft, or activity that focuses on the gospel of Jesus Christ. I lay the babies down for naps, whip up a tasty treat, pull out the scriptures and the game, and we visit. This week we talked about the First Article of Faith. I was tickled to find that Jakob already has it memorized from Primary. We worked on a word search and a color by number page, all the while talking about God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and The Holy Ghost. We also talked about heaven, our accountability, life and death, the fact that Father created the Map back to heaven, Jesus Christ established the Way for us to follow the map, and the Holy Ghost is our guide (which tied in to our Wednesday school lesson on What is a Map? This part of my day is just a big hug for the bit of sacrifice I make to have Home School with my boys. And yes, it is Very Worth It!!

Did Lil Nas X Manifest Montero?
Articles	by Jessica O'Connor April 7, 2021 April 7, 2021
Love him or hate him- still an obsession. Lil Nas X has been sending both sides of the political spectrum in a tailspin due to his latest single, "Montero". His debut song "Old Town Road" featuring Billy Ray Cyrus was a commercial success of epic proportions. The song wasn't just big… it's actually THE BIGGEST. Quite literally, the Most Certified Song in Recorded Music History, a causal x14 Diamond. He was thrust into an almost singular experience of overnight success not only at a young age but at his first try.
Despite his initial success, he entered the music game with many odds stacked against him. He was a 19-year old black man wanting to pursue country music, and if that wasn't enough he was holding another secret that just might be the nail in the coffin. He's gay too.
Lil Nas X faced the pressure of choosing to be himself or risk losing it all when he had barely gotten started. He made the decision to come out as openly gay, and from then on we saw a shift not only in his music, but his style, social media, and overall well-being. "Old Town Road" was a wholesome hit that could be played anywhere from the clubs, to weddings, even a kindergarten birthday party. "Montero"… not so much.
Our king of controversy and self-proclaimed "troll" took things to a level never attempted by any artist before him. "Montero", a self-named track, (born Montero Lamar Hill) serves us shock, aesthetic, allegory, and metaphors. Not to mention, it's catchy as hell. Reeling in over 95 MILLION views in its first week alone, it's safe to say it has been a long time since a music video got people talking like this one.
On the surface level, and maybe from the more conservative perspective, you see a gay man riding a striper pole to Hell and giving Satan a lap dance. I get it- it's edgy stuff, it shocked me too! But when you do a deeper dive you realize it's really all a bigger metaphor for his experience growing up gay and black. An important message for so many to not only hear, but try to understand.
If the numbers alone don't impress you, then maybe this video will. I was blown away by this young man's sheer courage. His ability to manifest, goal set, visualize, and speak things into existence. Say what you will, but the kids got more guts than most of us ever will. Performing a gay rap anthem in full drag and it not only being well received but going all the way to number one is proof that our world is changing, and that he is doing important work.
A post shared by Lil Nas X (@lilnasx)
I for one cannot wait to watch the evoloution of his music for years to come. He's clearly paving his own path, even if that means taking the stripper pole less traveled.

Q: Can I daemonize LaTeX or ConTeXt for performance boost? I need to make a web service that would generate a lot of PDFs one per request under (somewhat) high load. I was told by my college that if I set up LaTeX or ConTeXt as a daemon it will stop taking time for initialization and generation will work much faster. However I fail to find much information about such daemonization. Also I doubt that it's initialization that takes bulk of the time. It looks like the macros themselves are slow and cpu-bound.
My question is: is there a solution to daemonize either LaTeX or ConTeXt in such way that it really makes a significant boost in compile time for PDF generation?

By ppAdminFebruary 1, 2018 No Comments
COLLINGWOOD, ON, February 1, 2018 –– Alpine Ontario Alpin and the Southern Ontario Division welcome Pizza Pizza as the new title sponsor of the SOD Ski Team. The title sponsorship builds on a 2017 partnership that saw Pizza Pizza become the presenting sponsor of the Road to the OCUP Finals – a fruitful partnership that afforded Canada's leading pizza chain a platform to serve and connect with hundreds of families throughout the province. This season Pizza Pizza has opted to support the SOD Ski Team, the only team in the region that is registered with the Federation Internationale de Ski, pulling competitors from 27 clubs located in the Southern Ontario Division, which includes the Greater Toronto Area.
"Supporting events in the communities we serve is a big part of our culture and very important to us," says Paul Goddard, Chief Executive Officer, Pizza Pizza Limited. "We are excited to be partnering again with Alpine Ontario Alpin and look forward to connecting with participants and spectators in a fun and engaging way, on and off the slopes."
The SOD Ski Team is the premier ski team in the Southern Ontario Division and now in its fourth season back under the Alpine Ontario Alpin umbrella. The team replaced the former Escarpment Team and has grown from four athletes to a group of 28, composed of 10 women and 18 men. Like other divisional teams (NOD, LSDA and NCD), the SOD Ski Team is one of the development paths to the Ontario and Canadian Alpine Ski Teams.
"The SOD Ski Team has considerable expenses to support the travel and competition requirements of its members," says T.E.S. Hynes, SOD Program Director. "We are extremely grateful to the team at Pizza Pizza for its generous support of alpine ski racing on our road to excellence and athlete development."
The SOD Ski Team offers a year-round program starting in May of each year that includes dry land and on-snow camps. The team works with specific dry land trainers, both in Collingwood and in Toronto with the Canadian Sport Institute Ontario, and has close relationships with ski manufacturers and local race retailers to tend to the equipment needs of each athlete.

Behind the Gimmick Table: Time to 'Eat Like a Luchador'
Posted by Rasslin Merch Machine | Jun 27, 2021
In 2021 niches are more accessible and relevant than ever. The new book, Eat Like a Luchador: The Official Cookbook, definitely "feeds" into a crucial crossover demographic.
Author Mónica Ochoa is one of the few women journalists in lucha libre and has ties as far back as four generations in the sport. The book notes that lucha libre has been declared "an integral part of Mexican culture" by the government. She is the daughter of CMLL's Estrellita and former mini Jerrito Estrada. Her book does an excellent job of "blending" all these elements of her story into both lucha libre as a whole and the topic of food and cooking.
Eat Like a Luchador author Mónica Ochoa.
First, let's start by judging the cover. It is beautiful. Bene Rohlmann provides the art which is featured on it and throughout the book and incorporates all of the themes of the book. It is also incredibly sturdy and will resist being "tenderized" on your kitchen counter or coffee table.
The book's 300+ pages of 60+ recipes is well organized. It's divided into three main sections: appetizers, mains and desserts. For my review I selected one of each for Mrs. Rasslin Merch Machine to prepare while I took notes and taste tested for this week's edition of our weekly "Taco Night."
Page 1 of Konnan's five-page profile.
Each of the dishes comes to us from a member of the large and varied lucha libre family. The "meat" of the recipes are provided by luchadores. This roster includes legends such as Konnan, Amy Dumas (aka WWE's Lita), Super Astro and many, many more. But also present are behind the scenes players such as gear maker Hayashi Masahiro, Lucha VaVOOM burlesque and hoop performer Veronica Yune and luchacentric podcast host Joe Barker, among others.
Each recipe includes a profile, ranging from one to five pages, of the talent presenting it, as well as accompanying photos and/or illustrations. The "delicious" look and theme of the cover and content is carried through on these visuals within.
Konnan's Caldo De Res (Traditional Mexican Beef Soup) recipe.
For our meal I chose Taya Valkyrie's Loca Guacamole as an appetizer, followed by Jerry Villagrana's Carne Asada Street Tacos and Arez's Pay de Limon (no-bake lemon pie) for dessert.
Guacamole is a staple of our taco night already and Valkyrie's rendition provided a spicier and sweeter twist with minced jalapenos mixed in and a topping of chopped tomato to our usual traditional recipe.
An in-progress shot of our Jerry Villagrana's Carne Asada Street Tacos main course.
Our usual ground beef tacos got a traditional upgrade with Villagrana's call for flank steak and our usual packet of El Paso seasoning was replaced by a marinate of freshly squeezed orange juice, beer, cilantro, garlic and other spices.
An in-progress shot of our Arez's Pay de Limon.
Arez's lemon pie was an easy and tasty refreshing treat that will become a potluck go-to for us.
The recipes are clearly described, well organized and easy to follow.
Arez's Pay de Limon, our dessert.
My only criticism of this book would have to be the lack of inclusion of photos of the food itself. Process shots and especially of the finished dish would have made this book an A+ in my view. And for this omission I cannot give full marks.
Dinner is served.
When I think of a recipe book, especially as an inexperienced cook, the appeal is to open it up and consume the dishes with my eyes. Photos would also give an idea of a nice presentation to aim for.
Despite this, the book is still very good. It stands up as even just a coffee table book of lucha profiles and the tie in of recipes from the talents themselves adds authenticity and intrigue.
Although wrestling cookbooks have been done before, author Mónica Ochoa succeeds in providing something that "rises to the top" in many regards.

Emergency Trauma Patients
Department of Neurology at the Neuroscience Institute at Hackensack University Medical Center Ensures Patients Entering Hospital Through the Emergency Trauma Center Have Access to Specialists
Patients who present with conditions such as headache, spine pain and concussion at emergency trauma center get quick access to specialists
The Department of Neurology at the Neuroscience Institute at Hackensack University Medical Center has established a protocol to ensure patients who present at the emergency trauma center with a headache, spine pain, concussion or similar symptoms are offered access to our interprofessional team of neurology specialists for follow-up. We offer appointments with specialists, as well as referrals to allied health professionals in psychology and rehabilitation medicine.
The neurology team specializes in treating refractory migraine headaches that do not respond to conventional therapies, but expert diagnosis and coordinated care for all types of headaches is available, including cervicogenic headache, chronic daily headaches, cluster headaches, concussion-related headaches, facial pain, migraine headaches, new daily persistent headaches, tension headaches, and trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias.
Neurology experts provide follow-up evaluation and treatment for adults and children who have been diagnosed with a concussion or traumatic brain injury. HUMC's concussion team, led by Felicia Gliksman, D.O., MPH, includes child and adult neurologists, headache specialists, geriatricians, neuropsychologists, counseling psychologists, physical and occupational therapists, and speech therapists. Together, they will evaluate you and provide a customized plan of care.
Finally, of note, the Hackensack Spine Surgery Program has earned the Disease-Specific Care certification from The Joint Commission for demonstrating excellence in surgical spine care. Directors Dr. Patrick Roth and Dr. Roy Vingan have more than 50 years of combined experience in treatment of the spine, treating arthritis, degenerative disc disease, disc herniation/slipped disc, myelopathy, neck pain, osteoporosis, radiculopathy, sciatica, spinal fractures/trauma, spinal stenosis, spinal tumors, spondylolisthesis and spondylosis.
While pioneers in minimally invasive and robot-assisted spine surgery, the team also is highly trained in a full range of nonsurgical treatment options, emphasizing core strengthening and embodied cognition (the mind-body connection). Other nonsurgical options include physical therapy, steroid injection, lumbar ablation using radiofrequency energy, nerve blocks and hydrotherapy.

Hentie van der Merwe in Koln
In his new exhibition, 'Graph', Hentie van der Merwe explores the issue of identity. It will consist of a room installation with drawings mounted on black and white Vichy-patterned textile alongside which are photographs that the artists took or collected. The exhibition title refers to the recurring grid pattern within the exhibition and the diagram motif that Van der Merwe uses to depict the interaction between two variables, two realities or two worlds.

'Afrika Remix' opens in Düsseldorf
Billed as 'the largest exhibition of contemporary African art ever to open in Europe', 'Afrika Remix. Contemporary Art of a Continent', which opened at the Kunstpalast in D�sseldorf on July 24, has a participation of 88 artists from 25 countries. Film, literature, music, architecture and design are all represented alongside visual art, with the focus on work produced during the last decade.
The lineup includes a number of established and influential figures who are showing alongside younger artists who have not previously shown in Europe or America. The whole continent of Africa, from Egypt and Morocco to South Africa, is represented, as well as the diaspora (the criterion for inclusion was whether an artist had had direct and formative experience of living in Africa). The exhibition includes newly commissioned works and live performances.
Organising institutions are the Museum Kunst Palast in D�sseldorf, the Hayward Gallery in London, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo, with a curatorial team headed by Simon Njami of Revue Noir, and including Jean Hubert Martin, curator of the iconic 'Magiciens de la Terre' at the Pompidou in 1989, criticised at the time for exoticising art from the non-western world, but also later recognised as the first show to stage 'globalisation' as its core theme.
On 'Afrika Remix', South African artists include the ubiquitous William Kentridge, sculptors Jane Alexander and Andries Botha, and photographers Zwelethu Mthethwa and Tracey Derrick.

Rust and Charles in Germany
Imke Rust, a young Namibian artist, has been invited by the GTZ (Gesellschaft fuer Technische Zusammenarbeit) to participate in their annual exhibition, to be held at their head office in Eschborn, Germany. Rust is one of 7 African artists, and the only Namibian artist, who has been invited to exhibit in this prestigious event. South Africa's Clifford Charles was also invited.
'An unobstructed view: new art from Africa', also features the artists from Uganda, Namibia, Senegal, Benin, Togo and Ghana. The pictures provide an insight into the contemporary African art scene; they bear the spirited message of African culture and politics. Around 100 pictures will be on display, and all are for sale.
Rust will be exhibiting works concerned with socio-political issues. Says the artist: "In my work, I frequently make use of the dog as a metaphor for human behaviour and characteristics. Although the works are conceived from a Namibian perspective, the concepts are of a universal nature".
Rust won the first prize for painting and a merit award for sculpture at the Standard Bank Namibia Biennale in 2001, and has participated in several group exhibitions in Namibia, Cape Town and Italy.

Kendell Geers gets sexy in France
Sexus is the title of a novel by Henry Miller. 'Sexus' is an exhibition titled after the novel by Henry Miller. Like Miller, Geers claims an association with "the family of materialist hedonists, whose origins lie in the mists of philosophical and mythological time, and contrast with rationalist or mystical ascetics".
Less cryptically, 'Sexus' was specially designed exhibition by Geers for Les Moulins Albigeois, in Albi, southwest France. It will include one or two old works, hitherto never exhibited in Europe, as well as many new ones. The show is Geers' first devoted entirely to eroticism.
The point of departure for this project is the historical context of the area of activity of the art centre. Albi is both the city of Toulouse Lautrec, famous painter of Parisian nightlife in the 19th century, and the city of the renowned cathedral of St. C�cile, which exalts the victory of the Catholic church over the Cathar heresy, after a fierce struggle which put the whole region to fire and sword in the 13th century.
It is a city whose present-day identity and sphere of influence are represented by the art of painting brothels, on one hand, and, on the other, by the memory of the spiritual quest of two religions, at once kindred in their understanding of the physical body, and clashing in the way they established the predominant path and praxis.
The Cathars regarded the body as the handiwork of Lucifer, and advocated abstention from all sexual relations, thus going beyond the Catholic injunction, which authorised sexual intercourse solely for procreation.
In the press release to this show, it is argued that 'Sexus' "has its place in the maturing work of an artist whom we might describe as an actual philosopher, experimenting with philosopher George Bataille's "conna�tre en br�lant" (literally: knowing by burning) principle, to do with not separating art from social life and private drives or instincts, or, more accurately, not separating thought from body� Through transgression and taboo, Geers strives to lend visibility to the energy of liberation and individuation, contained in the erotic act, here likewise broached in its poetic dimension".
The opening will be held on July 2, at 7 pm.
Opens: July 3

The Museum Bochum
South African focus at Museum Bochum
An easy train ride from Düsseldorf, the museum in the small town of Bochum chooses a different focus for a major exhibition each year. In 2004, linking with the 10th anniversary of democracy in SA, 'New Identities: Contemporary South African Art' opened for a four month run on July 31. The last time anything as comprehensive was seen in Germany was the survey 'Colours: Art from South Africa', an exhibition in the House of World Cultures in Berlin in 1996.
In 'New Identities', 16 artists present work that reflects on identity, urbanisation and multiculturalism as well as the pressing topic of AIDS. Internationally known artists such as Jane Alexander, Kay Hassan, Zwelethu Mthethwa, William Kentridge and Santu Mokofeng, the last two who were participants on 'Dokumenta X' in Kassel, are showing work together with artists and members of artistic initiatives who are less well known in Germany. Classical artistic disciplines such as painting, sculpture and sketch are represented just as are new media, photography and video.
Traditional forms of artistic expression - Esther Mahlangu's wall paintings, percussion objects by the Venda artist Samson Mudzunga and Rossina Maepa's embroideries - will be shown in this exhibition as contemporary artistic expressions characteristic of the creative force and vitality of South Africa. Other participating artists are David Koloane, Johan Louw, Sam Nhlengethwa, Berni Searle, Penny Siopis, Andrew Tshabangu, Minnette Vári and Sue Williamson.
An accompanying programme with theatre and music events, lectures, discussions, readings and films will present the art and culture of South Africa in its breadth and diversity for the entire duration of the exhibition. The exhibition and the cultural programme is organised in cooperation with Dr. Ralf Seippel, Seippel Gallery, Cologne.
After Bochum, the exhibition will move to the Pretoria Art Museum in South Africa at the beginning of 2005.

South African and Swiss artists collaborate in Bern
"Underneath the impressive and powerful layer of future-orientated optimism, a sensitive, irritable and most unpredictable soil is hidden," reads the opening salvo of the press release to a show presenting the work of artists who deal with their direct political and social context from many different perspectives.
Featuring Berni Searle, Thando Mama, Santu Mofokeng, Alison Kearney, William Kentridge, Moshekwa Langa, Brett Murray, Robin Rhode, Penny Siopis, Nontsikelelo "Lolo" Veleko, Jo Ractliffe and Nicholas Hlobo, 'min(e)dfields' defines itself as a co-operation between South African and Swiss curators.
The project is built up on a number of stages: the venue of the Kunsthaus Baselland, the STAGA-Pavillon of the Stadtgalerie Bern, the public realm and site-specific locations in Bern, a website, a catalogue and a lively theoretical stage including a reading room, public talks and discussions. All of these elements play their own individual part in creating a common notion of relations between South Africa and Switzerland today.
Jointly curated by Sabine Schaschl-Cooper, Stephen Hobbs, Beate Engel and Katrien Reist van Gelder, this exhibition is not only as a reflection on the South African situation ten years on, but serves as a metaphor for a north/ south dialogue and the very specific communication that emerges out of this exchange, with all its richness as well as confusing misunderstandings. As a visual art project 'min(e)dfields' wants to open up common fields of debate in both countries, regarding international relations, social and cultural development.
'min(e)dfields' will travel to Johannesburg in 2005.
Swiss artists participating in the project are Monika Dillier, Mario Sala, Mo Diener, Markus Schwander, Dias/ participating Riedweg and Samuel Herzog.

Clinton Fein
'Things Go Better'
Digital Archival Print
Clinton Fein at Axis Gallery
Clinton Fein's New York solo debut, 'WARNING!', features photo-based work reflecting on the last four years of the Bush Administration. Fein employs digital photocollage techniques to construct critical images in a wide variety of media, from fine art prints to T-shirts and street posters.
Fein uses digital technology as an art form and makes web-based art for social critique. A noted First Amendment advocate, Fein maintains a barrage of social commentary through his website, Annoy.com. He has been involved in a number of First Amendment and censorship disputes, some of which are documented in the exhibition, including his landmark 1997 Supreme Court suit against the Attorney General of the United States.
Fein was born and educated in South Africa. According to his gallery the South African tradition of resistance art 'has coloured his view of art as a social and democratic phenomenon capable of addressing the man in the street and promoting social and democratic values, which he does now as a patriotic American'.

Probably the last big '10 Years'-type survey show, it will feature 17 of the most significant South African artist who will all show new or recent work. Unquestionably a 'blockbuster'.

Candice Breitz
Candice Breitz on WOW
Advance Notice: How does a work of art work on us? Henry Art Gallery Chief Curator Elizabeth Brown has been developing a concept of 'The Work of the Work' (WOW) over the last two years to probe the way certain works of art actively engage the viewer. Our connection to artwork might be intellectual or visceral or kinaesthetic; it is often multiple, involving some change in bodily sensation at the same time it provokes emotions or mental associations. Such responses are critical to the effectiveness of most, if not all, works of art.
'WOW' presents a selection of works by a small group of international and multi-ethnic artists. By featuring more than a single work by these artists, the exhibition increases audience attention. Viewers are encouraged to focus and therefore more productively engage with the works. Aside from Candice Breitz, the artist line-up includes Catherine Yass, Anne Appleby, Hannah Villiger, Callum Innes, Steve McQueen, Kim Sooja, Gary Hill, and Olafur Eliasson.
'WOW' is curated for the Henry Art Gallery by Chief Curator Elizabeth A. Brown.
The show opens in three parts:
Gary Hill: Tall Ships: August 13, 2004 - February 13, 2005
WOW Stroum Gallery: September 18, 2004 - February 13, 2005

The show 'Insights' features the work of nine contemporary artists from the National Museum of African Art's collection. These artists are: Sokari Douglas Camp, William Kentridge, Jeremy Wafer, Zwelethu Mthethwa, Georgia Papageorge, Ezrom Legae, Iba N'Diaye, Gavin Jantjes and Sue Williamson.
By displaying ensembles rather than individual works, the exhibition reveals the artistic process and play of experimentation, continuity and change in each artist's chosen subjects and materials. The artwork on exhibit reflects the collection's strength in contemporary South African art. As artist Sue Williamson suggests, "Art has several lives - it has one life when you are actually making it, and that process is important for the artist� Then when that's finished, the art begins the second phase of its life, where people react to it in a particular space - in a gallery."
Artists' insights are presented in quotes that illuminate and personalise the works on display, while the curators' comments impart the broader cultural and political themes that inform each artist's work. Together, these insights reveal the artists' varied use of visual metaphor, allegory, myth and even movement to evoke a range of experiences - the joy of masquerade, the resiliency of community, pride of place and the physical and psychic violence of political oppression.
The exhibition, co-curated by Kinsey Katchka and Allyson Purpura, reflects museum director Sharon F. Patton's interest in fostering inventive approaches to exhibiting the museum's collection by including newer staff members in the curatorial process.

Digitmovies releases on LP the OST of the mythical De Angelis brothers for the movie ".E poi lo chiamarono il magnifico" (aka "Man of the East"). After Franco Micalizzi had written the music for the first Trinity movie and Guido ^ Maurizio De Angelis for its sequel, the two musician brothers were recruited again to write a new original score that was issued in those days on an LP (Smash SM 901) with 12 tracks and a duration of about 27 minutes and also on a 45 rpm single (Smash SM 6001) with two tracks. We have searched for the original recording session master tapes which were recently rescued in very good condition and in full stereo, this gave us the chance to add six bonus tracks not included in the original vinyl (duration about 41 minutes). A note for collectors and audiophiles. For this ultimate edition we did not use the album master assembled in 1972, but we were able to recreate the original album mock-up's sequence & editing with all the takes taken directly from first generation stereo session tapes. And this new version has a really improved sound quality. The main theme is called "Don't lose control", a romantic-epic theme with country-pop flavour performed by Gene Roman and reprised as an instrumental version played by a large orchestra. The De Angelis brothers have succeded in recreating the whole Western atmosphere by alternating classic Western-flavoured themes with soft ones like the romantic love theme "Tema di Candida" or "Jesus come to my heart", a Gospel with sacred flavour vocalized by the Nora Orlandi choir.

J.H.S. Blaxter received a first-class honors in Zoology at Oxford University in 1952. At that time, the Department was headed by Sir Alister Hardy and it was Sir. Alister that recommended John for an appointment to the Marine Laboratory, Aberdeen, Scotland. At Aberdeen, John published a series of papers on herring biology with an emphasis on larval development. John's next position was at Aberdeen University, where he spent five years before moving to the Oban Laboratory of the Scottish Marine Biological Association, where he remained until he retired.
Over a period of 40 years John published over 140 papers (his first in 1953 was published in Nature) and books and directed the research of approximately 20 Ph.D. students. His work, focusing on aspects of larval fish development, physiology and behavior, has influenced many researchers around the world. John has served on numerous committees and councils, convened conferences, and edited multiple proceedings including Advances in Marine Biology.
During his long and distinguished career John collaborated with scientists from all over the world. The careers of many members in the Early Life History Section have been influenced by John's research and his teaching. The Best Student Poster Award has been established by his colleagues in recognition of his contributions to Early Life History Research.


The Ancients are back! Tenth Court are pleased to announce the release of The Ancients fourth album- Frozen Aisle. Recorded with John Lee between 2015-2017, this is the group's first album since their 2013 fermenting-classic Night Bus (Chapter Music). Frozen Aisle runs alongside and extends from the more absurd threads of The Ancients' previous releases whilst almost over-achieving pop-perfection- a psych-pop-conundrum of sorts.


The second, half an instant later, was the hard metallic stink of human blood mingled with the rank stench of predator. The war hasn't even started. Born of blood and terror, The opal city Paranne will rise at last. But he is most intractable and strong. The water dragged at her legs as she scrabbled to touch bottom, and lifted her off her feet, and flung her forward. Well, I'm a trained negotiator, so let's negotiate. The Karnee Shift began closing the wound, bit ate up her energy to do it.
She got her first clear look at them as she charged toward the nearest. All the gushing about how perfect and good the unborn Reborn was got on my nerves too. With the woman burned away, what remained was beast, furred, fanged, four-legged, hungry for the hunt. Negotiator person: So you claim you should get to keep the Magical Artifact that might save your family because you sailed all this way and suffered almost died multiple times to get it, right? Fugitive diplomat Kait Galweigh battles the megalomaniacal Crispin Sabir for possession of an ancient artifact called the Mirror of Souls. The white cities will rise again, and we will ride through their streets in skycarts and breathe perfumed air and feast on wondrous food.
Nor am I comforted by the fact that he is one and we are many, for though we have the strength of numbers, we cannot assume that he is alone — he has always had a talent for finding allies in unlikely places. I have chosen a marvelous avatar — a young Wolf named Ry Sabir — a powerful, well-bred man with both training in magic and a body shaped by magic. The current was fast, brutally fast, the normally negotiable water made deadly by days of rain. He was not yet born, but he and that wondrous body were waiting for them, already watchful, already planning to oppose them again, standing as ever on the side of dirt and disorder and chaos. Second, we must decide how we will deal with the forces that have risen against us in our absence.
Well, you won't find out here; stay tuned for part three. Hopefully the last book will be better. She is active online, providing courses teaching what she has discovered about writing fiction as well as maintaining her own weblog and website, HollyLisle. Once into the valley and downwind of the attackers, she came in behind them, running through the underbrush with her belly to the ground, fast as she could without making noise. Now, Kait's found the Mirror but has been shipwrecked. Its winds blow through the realities, its storms twist them, and even its silences cast long shadows that bind realities to each other in ways no mortal can control, and only a few suspect. The Sabir family has attacked and destroyed its deadly enemy, the Galweigh family.
The ones behind her had told the one in front of her to watch out — that she was coming. Instead of being just a continuation of the first novel in which nothing new or surprising happens, there are interesting developments in the plot and we learn a great deal about her world and the various systems of magic which give the titles of the three novels as practised by those nicknamed wolves, dragons, and falcons. He was also cruel, and known for perversions of a sort that Dafril found disgusting. For if you do not, I fear he will annihilate you. Now they faced all three, and he sensed in many of his followers a desire to continue as they were, to cling to the known. The Sabir Wolf wizards also want the Mirror, thinking it will bring them matchless power. We have already defeated him once, and though he is already embodied, and the body is truly his, in order to acquire it he is being born.
The three monsters who could move came after her. The current spun her backwards for an instant before sucking her completely under the water. It slammed her into boulders as it dragged her downstream, and tore at the arrow protruding from her flank, first shoving it deeper, then trying to rip if loose; with every bone-cracking collision she could only remind herself that worse was coming. On the other side a game trail ran parallel to the water up to the last ridge before the bay. Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include previous owner inscriptions.
Kait followed it; the animals that browsed along it had cleared much of the underbrush from it, so for something her size, it made easy running. She screamed, feeling the hot gush of her blood down her leg and the weight of the shaft throwing off her balance. Dear Author, Women are not things. If he did, her friends would survive; they would find a way get the Mirror to the Reborn even if she died. Wanderers and Steaders joined will slay the Dragons. Both are terribly wrong; using the artefact will in fact unleash the souls of the long dead sorcerers who once before conquered the world.
Raw sewage in the gutters; animal waste in the streets; slaughtered animals hanging in open-air markets; rooms lit only by fire. Then she heard fire crackling behind her and caught the first whiff of smoke rolling toward her. Blindly possessive obsessive objectification of women isn't romantic. When a book that you could read in a day or two takes you two weeks to read, there is something wrong with it. It jumped sideways to block her escape, yelling as it did.
If I did not have the third book in my shelf, I would be really mad at this title: the ending, if you can call it that, offers no closure whatsoever. If I did not have the third book in my shelf, I would be really mad at this title: the ending, if you can call it that, offers no closure whatsoever. Uncaring, unchanging and unchangeable, it nonetheless offers much to those who know how to reach it and exploit it. Both are terribly wrong, for the mirror contains the captive spirits of long-dead sorcerers who once conquered the world and are poised to wreak vengeance yet again. I want you to run to the river, follow it to the boat, get the boat back home, and tell everyone what happened. Karnee now, blood-mad, she raced toward trouble. She bounded away, spitting out fur and feeling the surge of the Karnee battle-lust boiling in her veins, fed by the raging river of her fear and her determination.
