Mark Hankins is Associate Head of the Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology (NLO) and Professor of Visual Neuroscience. His research in visual physiology began with his PhD in Biophysics at Imperial College London. Retuning to Imperial College in 1993 with a Wellcome Trust Vision Fellowship, he was appointed to a Lectureship in the Medical School and became a Professor of Visual Neuroscience in 2004. In 2006 he established his research group at the University of Oxford based in the NLO.
Our research focuses on light dependent signalling in the retina and brain, including visual and non-visual light detection. We are also examining novel opsin photopigments and exploring their applications to optogenetics and translational medicine.
His laboratory showed that for the first time that the human primary visual cone pathway is regulated by the activities of an irradiance detector that utilizes a novel photopigment (Hankins and Lucas, 2002).
His work has shown that in addition to providing an independent light input to the circadian system and other recipient brain areas, novel photopigments play a critical role in the regulation of local retinal physiology. Developing state of the art calcium imaging, his lab provided the first global view of inner retinal photoreception in mammals, through an examination of the rodless/coneless retina (Sekaran et al, 2003,2005). Examining retinal circuitry, he recently explored the targeted ablation of the melanopsin expressing cells, which resulted in the blockade of all non-image forming light responses, showing that the melanopsin ganglion cells are also the exclusive conduits of rod and cone inputs to these retinorecipient areas in the brain (Güler et al, 2008). His laboratory originally pioneered heterologous expression for human-melanopsin and this work provided the vital definitive evidence that melanopsin is indeed a sensory photopigment with an additional photoisomerase function more typical of invertebrate pigments (Melyan et al., 2005). Since then he has developed a collaborative structure/function and mutagenesis study (Cambridge and Manchester) of melanopsin that promises to extend our fundamental knowledge of this novel photopigment. The finding that expression of the melanopsin alone was sufficient to render neurones light responsive, has significant bio-technological implications. Hankins now leads a project developing a novel retinal optical prosthetic, which is a translational development of this basic science. The device is being developed as a generic platform for restoring vision to those blind through retinal degeneration. Professor Hankins is a visiting Professor of Bioengineering at Imperial College London.

1996, Janus Films, 97 min, France, Dir: Olivier Assayas
Olivier Assayas' live-wire international breakthrough stars a magnetic Maggie Cheung as a version of herself: a Hong Kong action-movie star who arrives in Paris to play the latex-clad lead in a remake of Louis Feuillade's classic 1915 crime serial LES VAMPIRES. What she finds is a behind-the-scenes tangle of barely controlled chaos as egos clash, romantic attractions simmer and an obsessive director (a cannily cast Jean-Pierre Léaud) drives himself to the brink to realize his vision. Blending blasts of silent cinema, martial arts flicks and the music of Sonic Youth and Ali Farka Touré into a hallucinatory swirl of postmodern cool, Assayas composes a witty reflection on the 1990s French film industry and the eternal tension between art and commercial entertainment.

Movies reflect our lives and biases. Since the birth of the movie business, men are often represented as strong, decision-makers and women stand in as weak, secondary characters, unable to deal with anything other than supporting the lead. Even with the rise of the gender equality movement in the movies and its carryover into reality, inherent biases remain in which females that demonstrate intelligence and strength are viewed as more masculine.


I believe the Obama administration's planned punitive strikes on Syria are wrong for larger reasons (see here for a 2012 post that's still relevant today), but I'm also convinced that they're likely to be ineffective for the narrower goal of deterring the use of chemical weapons in Syria and beyond. I don't mean to make light of a horrible situation, but I think a gaming analogy can help show why.
Think of the repeated interactions between the Assad regime and the U.S. as a single game of poker with several hands. In 2011, President Obama said Assad had to go, and the U.S. hinted that it would intervene to support the Syrian opposition. That was a raise, Assad called it, and the U.S. effectively folded that hand by not following through on its initial raise.
More recently, President Obama declared the use of chemical weapons a "red line" that Assad's forces must not cross, and then they crossed that line, apparently more than once before the massive attack near Damascus on 21 August. Again, the administration made a raise in hopes of driving Assad off his hand, but again Assad re-raised.
Now the Obama administration is threatening to strike Assad's forces to punish him for the CW attack. While making this threat, though, the administration is simultaneously signaling that a) the attack will be limited and b) the administration hopes not to have to do more. These terms are more or less written into the authorization Congress is now considering, and they are being reiterated every time a member of the administration makes a public case for a military response.
In poker terms, this approach is like trying to drive your opponent off a pot with a modest bet when you hold a weak hand. Unless your opponent has really weak cards, that kind of bet is usually more effective at enticing that opponent to stay in the hand, not encouraging him to fold. In the Syrian case, the Assad regime has repeatedly signaled that it will play every hand to the end, so this kind of bet will almost certainly not have the desired effect.
That outcome is even more likely if the opponent has good reason to think your hand is weak. When the Obama administration can't muster much domestic or international support for its punitive strikes and whatever support it can muster is predicated on those strikes being very limited in their scope and intent, then I'd say that's easy to read as a weak hand. It's a bit like waving around a pair of eights and threatening to make a small raise. To drive a committed rival to fold, you need to really change the expected value of the pot, and this approach simply doesn't do that to a regime that has shown itself to be deeply committed to playing every hand to the end.
Some supporters of punitive strikes seem to think the effect those strikes would have on Assad's forces is less important than the signal this action would send to potential future violators. The goal is not to hurt Assad as much as it's to reinforce the norm. Unfortunately, the same problem extends to future hands with other players, too. If I were a ruler considering using chemical weapons at some later date, the lesson I think I'd have learned from Syria so far is that the rest of the world actually isn't willing to pay a steep cost to reinforce this supposed norm for its own sake. In fact, we've developed a tell: if the stakes are high for other reasons, our initial raise will probably be a bluff, and it probably won't be that costly to stay in the hand and see if that's right.
I can see two paths out of the current situation. One is to acknowledge that our tepid raise has failed to drive Assad off this pot and go ahead and fold this hand. The outcome is essentially the same, and we don't incur bigger losses getting there. The other is to change the hand we're playing by committing to do whatever it takes to prevent Assad's forces from using chemical weapons again. In other words, we commit to regime-defeating war if necessary and we signal that stronger commitment to Assad's forces and their backers as clearly as possible.
If this more aggressive approach isn't both feasible and desirable—and I believe it's neither—it's hard for me to see what's gained by continuing to pretend that's the hand we're playing when everyone knows it isn't and calling yet another of the Assad regime's horrible raises.
I like your analysis for the game between Obama and Assad, but I don't think it applies to future players in a straightforward way. By now, Assad is willing to play it to the end, but future entrants won't be thinking the same way in the beginning. These conflicts almost always starts small, when the stakes are low, and at beginning stages, Obama's norm of weak raises will still get a lot of respect.
Limited strikes are scary when you're just starting to have local riots, not so scary when you've been fighting for 2 years+. That being said, it still might not be worth it, but it does have some value for others.

BJP frustrated with Azam Khan's secular image: Akhilesh Yadav
BJP frustrated with Azam Khan's secular image: Akhilesh Yadav
Alleging that Khan's life was under threat, the former chief minister demanded security for him and that the FIR against him be immediately expunged.
By: Express News Service | Lucknow | Updated: October 19, 2018 6:36:28 am
SP chief Akhilesh Yadav issued a statement Thursday, which claimed that BJP was aiming to malign the image of senior SP leaders.
A day after an FIR was registered against Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Azam Khan on a complaint by Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh — who claimed the former was threatening his family members — the SP on Thursday alleged that BJP was behind the move.
"The BJP is frustrated by the secular image of Azam Khan and his achievements like the skilled management of the Kumbh Mela in the past and establishing Jauhar University. That is why they are trying to defame and politically harass him…The management was applauded even abroad…what could be a better example of secularism," the statement read.
Earlier in the day, SP's national spokesperson Rajendra Chaudhary had said at a press conference, "In today's time, there can be a fake encounter anywhere in the state. Fake FIRs are also a possibility…The government is working with a mentality of revenge and the FIR against Azam Khan is under BJP's agenda. This is an attempt to harass Khan."
The FIR was registered against Khan at Lucknow's Gomti Nagar police station under sections IPC 153 A (promoting enmity), 153 B (imputations, assertions prejudicial to national integration) and 295 A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religions) and 506 (criminal intimidation).
Amar Singh had alleged that Khan threatened his daughter of an acid attack, after which he (Singh) went on an "FIR Yatra" from New Delhi to Lucknow, covering 16 districts before reaching the state capital on Wednesday. He had earlier threatened that if his FIR is not registered, he would start protests all over the country.
Khan could not be reached for comment.

È conosciuto principalmente per il best seller Lo squalo, divenuto in breve un successo planetario: il romanzo ha venduto, al 2006, oltre 20 milioni di copie nel mondo ed è stato adattato da Steven Spielberg nell'omonimo film, altrettanto celebre.

Biografia
Dopo aver terminato gli studi laureandosi all'Università Harvard nel 1961, riuscì a diventare giornalista presso il Washington Post e National Geographic. La sua carriera lo portò a scrivere i discorsi del presidente statunitense Lyndon Johnson negli anni 1967 – 1969.

Come scrittore, l'opera che ebbe più successo fu il romanzo "Jaws" (trad. "fauci"), tradotto in italiano come Lo squalo (1974), ispirato ad una vicenda realmente accaduta decenni prima e riguardante alcune vittime di attacchi di uno squalo nel New Jersey. Per 44 settimane il libro comparve nella lista dei più venduti; un anno dopo Steven Spielberg trasse il film omonimo Lo squalo, campione d'incassi e che lanciò Spielberg nel firmamento del cinema.
In seguito scrisse altri romanzi ambientati nel mare, da cui furono tratti dei film; in entrambi i casi non fu mai replicato il successo dell'opera prima. Ricordiamo quindi "The deep" (trad. "Abissi") e "The island"  con Michael Caine nel ruolo del protagonista (trad. "L'isola").

Morì l'11 febbraio 2006 per una fibrosi polmonare all'età di 65 anni e venne sepolto presso il cimitero di Prospect Hill a Nantucket, Massachusetts.

Vita privata
Sposatosi con Winifred B. Wesson nel 1964, ebbe 3 figli: Tracy, Clayton e Christopher. Di indole ambientalista, ha scritto diversi saggi per il National Geographic.

Suo nonno era il noto umorista Robert Benchley.

Sik Lee Dennig, Ph.D., who taught in the program for more than 21 years, is among hundreds of employees whose contracts will no longer be renewed due to budgetary challenges brought about by COVID-19.
208 layoffs.
30 furloughs.
450 open positions eliminated.
The pandemic continues to take its toll on the University.https://t.co/jx9s3NrHdj
— The Stanford Daily (@StanfordDaily) July 30, 2020
Around 76 students enroll in the university's Cantonese classes annually. Over the last 10 years, an average of 31 students enrolled in the fall, Dennig said.
The lecturer was raised in Hong Kong, but her heritage language is Shanghainese. This makes her feel welcomed whenever she visits relatives in Shanghai.
"I fully understand how my students feel about their heritage language — Cantonese," Dennig told the Stanford Daily. "The ability to speak it gives them a membership to their community."
Stanford reportedly expressed its "hopes" to offer one Cantonese class in fall 2021. Dennig could return on an hourly basis, but it will depend on available funds.

Staff, alumni and current students have signed a petition to "Save Cantonese at Stanford." The call to action is intensified by the fact that Leland Stanford, the university's founder, exploited and maltreated Chinese workers in the 1860s — many of whom spoke Cantonese.
"Leland Stanford built his Central Pacific Railroad empire on the backs of Cantonese migrant workers," the petition states. "These Cantonese workers suffered grueling and dangerous working conditions, paltry wages, and violent prejudice to construct the railroad that made Leland Stanford exorbitantly rich — rich enough to buy the summer home and farm in Palo Alto that we now know as Stanford University."
For a university whose founder made a fortune off the labor of Cantonese-speaking Chinese railroad workers, this news is massively disappointing. As an undergrad I took a class @Stanford with Sik Lee Dennig. We need to support her work, not cut it. https://t.co/QNo3flJpl1

The petition, addressed to Provost Persis Drell, also argues that axing the program is inconsistent with Stanford's values of diversity, equity and inclusion. It also points out that Chinese people are not a monolithic group and that Cantonese is widely used across the Chinese diaspora.
Signatories are asking Stanford to make three commitments: (1) secure a Cantonese language program with at least four course offerings per quarter; (2) allow Cantonese courses to fulfill the language requirement by including reading and writing; and (3) invest in the long-term viability of the Cantonese program through a permanent full-time instructor position that is compensated with salary, benefits and protections.
Interested parties with Stanford affiliation may sign the petition here.

When a person suffers from a severe mental illness, they cannot think logically because their thoughts are not produced by their human conscience. They think based on the absurd thoughts sent by their anti-conscience to their conscience. These thoughts ruin their capacity to think based on valid criteria. This means that they believe in absurd assumptions and unreal possibilities. This also means that they are unable to solve even the simplest daily problems.
In a few words, what is really important for you is not if you will be able to discover many things thanks to your intelligence, but if you will be able to cry when someone else is suffering, and if you will help this person. God pays attention to your tears, to your generosity, to your sincerity, and to your humbleness. If you are a famous genius able to make fantastic calculations you may deserve congratulations in this aspect of your life, but you don't deserve a place in heaven.
The divine messages in dreams have an impressing effect for the dreamer because they have to help the dreamer wake up and see something very important that he is not seeing. Many times when I translate dreams for the public and I try to understand the unconscious messages, I verify that the unconscious mind explains simple truths in a complicated way to make the dreamer think about the real importance of simple truths.
I understood that the human conscience is absurd because all psychological types tend to become neurotic with time. Every person loses consciousness with the various deceptions of life and the invasion of the absurd thoughts of the anti-conscience into their human conscience. I also understood that it was safer to obey the divine guidance than to follow my own conscience, and keep making mistakes.
The unconscious mind always cures your psyche because this is the most important matter of your life. You have to be a balanced person. You must be able to always control your behavior and always act with wisdom, even in the difficult situations when you are tempted to explode and show anger. You will learn how to always be calm, and never make the mistakes made by those who temporarily lose the control of their behavior because their anti-conscience takes the place of their ego.
You are able to understand what is essential and how to always act with wisdom. You have informative dreams that show you the psychological condition of those who are around you, especially if they are mentally ill. The unconscious mind gives you clear information about other people, the same way you have information about your own psychological problems and about the person you love in your dreams.

I don't often have a post title before I write the post, but sometimes I do.
Rejection is complicated is it not? As we journey through life complicated scenarios happen as a result of the broken reality we are up against. This morning's Jesus Calling read about the abundance God enjoys giving us. That's a hard concept to practice because as you know it takes ten positives to overcome one negative, and many times when things are going well we cop an attitude of guilt.
Rejection is complicated because it is done to us, but we also do it to others. I think it weeds out the people we aren't supposed to be with. There is a randomness to life, and sometimes it just happens because as my pastor said yesterday there isn't a reason for everything. Sometimes things happen because of ignorance. Somewhere in that existential question however, redemption happens as we burn bridges. I don't ever intentionally burn a bridge, but because of the broken reality I live and move in it happens.
As you put one foot in front of the other this week don't over think the randomness that happens in your life. Do what your intuition tells you because it's usually right, and if it isn't the Father is big enough to bring about a solution. Don't be a jerk, but if you need to remove yourself from a situation do it. Don't hide. Don't quit, but if your intuition is telling you to quit listen to it, but don't be hasty in quitting. If that thought persists days after the initial existential question list the pros and cons with your wife or husband, or if you're single sit down and write them out regarding why you should throw in the towel.
Rejection is not a pleasant subject, but you might know it by another name – boundaries. Your mental health, dignity, self-respect and ability to give love to others is hingent on whether or not you can give. You can't give if you are empty.
If you are empty you need to be full to give. Your cup doesn't have to be running over, but when you are in a season of desert or wilderness wandering stop to see where you are, and if there is more danger for "carnage" then step back and assess the situation before you step up to the plate. Striking out is one thing, but throwing the bat at the pitcher is quite another.
Be kind and gentle with yourself, and that kindness and gentleness will flow over into others.

Iliac-enteric fistula managed by endovascular covered stent placement using extra-vascular microwire snaring: a case report
Amgad M. Moussa ORCID: orcid.org/0000-0001-7344-84101 &
Constantinos T. Sofocleous1
Although snaring technique is a commonly used tool in the interventional radiologists' armamentarium, there are no reports of its use in an extra-vascular space to achieve access across a pseudoaneurysm that was otherwise non-traversable.
We describe a case of an iliac-enteric fistula between a ruptured pseudoaneurysm of the external iliac artery and a surrounding contained colonic perforation, where access across the pseudoaneurysm was achieved only after snaring of the microwire from within the contained colonic perforation and back into the intra-vascular space, allowing the placement of a covered stent and control of the bleeding.
The described technique may be useful in situations where other, more conventional, endovascular techniques fail to achieve access across the bleeding pseudoaneurysm. While it was life-saving in this case, this technique should only be used in very limited scenarios, specifically in the palliative setting and when surgical management is not an option.
The use of snaring technique is a relatively common problem-solving tool used by interventional radiologists in a variety of different clinical scenarios. The most common uses include retrieval of intra-vascular foreign bodies (such as Inferior vena cava filters, fractured catheter fragments and stents) and achieving access in challenging vascular anatomy in specific scenarios (Iliescu and Haskal 2012; Woodhouse and Uberoi 2013; Hanaoka et al. 2006). During complex interventional procedures or following intra-procedural complications, it is usually the last resort before surgical intervention (Palmer et al. 2019).
We describe a case of unorthodox use of the snaring technique to achieve access across an iliac-enteric fistula between a ruptured pseudo-aneurysm of the external iliac artery and a contained perforation of the sigmoid colon, presenting with massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding. The snare technique was used within the contained colonic perforation to achieve access across the ruptured pseudoaneurysm, after attempts to cross the pseudoaneurysm from antegrade and retrograde approaches failed due to severe stenosis of the vessel, due to impingement by surgical clips and prior pelvic radiation. Achieving access across the pseudoaneurysm allowed placement of covered stents and exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm, with control of the bleeding.
While the conditions for placement of a covered stent were far from optimal, owing to the infected field where the stent will be placed as well as the snaring process taking place within the colonic perforation, the emergent nature of the case and the lack of immediate surgical options for the patient (patient has repeatedly refused surgery for colonic perforation) supported this decision. In addition, reported experience from emergent endovascular management of aorto-duodenal fistulas, which can be considered an infected field, supports the use of covered stents, along with the use of long-term antibiotics to potentially prevent infection of the endovascular stent graft (Morikawa et al. 2017).
A 64-year-old woman with recurrent metastatic endocervical cancer and history of pelvic surgery and radiation, with recent history of contained sigmoid colon perforation (managed conservatively after patient refused surgery) presented to the emergency department with recurrent attacks of bright red blood per rectum over the past day (10 attacks) with dizziness, tachycardia and a Hb of 6.6 mg/dL. Patient has indwelling ureteric stents that were exchanged 6 weeks prior, with no complications. Computed Tomography Angiography of the abdomen and pelvis showed a 9 mm pseudoaneurysm arising from the proximal left external iliac artery related to impingement on the vessel by two surgical clips, and in close proximity to the contained sigmoid perforation, which was expected to be the source of the hematochezia (Fig. 1a & b). Patient was taken to the interventional radiology angiography suite for endovascular management of the pseudoaneurysm.
An a axial cut of a Computed Tomography Angiogram and b a 3D reconstruction showing the pseudoaneurysm (arrow) arising from the left external iliac artery with narrowing of the vessel proximal and distal to the pseudoaneurysm appreciated on the 3D reconstruction, which are related to surgical clips
In the angio suite, the patient had another attack of bright red blood per rectum immediately before starting the procedure. Right common femoral artery access was achieved and a Sos Omni 2 catheter (Soft-Vu; Angiodynamics Inc., New York, USA) was used to cross into the left Common Iliac artery. Left Common Iliac artery angiography showed the pseudoaneurysm arising just distal to the origin of the left external iliac artery, with stenosis and tortuosity just proximal to its origin, likely related to the surgical clips (Fig. 2a), with contrast extravasation seen reaching the contained colonic perforation, and delayed images showing contrast reaching the sigmoid colon (Fig. 2b). Attempts to cross the pseudoaneurysm using a 2.8 Fr microcatheter (Progreat; Terumo Medical, Tokyo, Japan) were unsuccessful, likely due to severe stenosis by the surgical clips, with passage of the microcatheter into the colonic perforation. Left common femoral artery access was achieved and attempts to cross the pseudoaneurysm retrograde using a 2.8 Fr microcatheter were also unsuccessful, with the microcatheter again leaving the intra-vascular space and passing into the colonic perforation cavity. The right access microcatheter was then navigated into the colonic perforation cavity over a 0.018″ inch microwire (Glidewire GT guidewire; Terumo Medical, Tokyo, Japan) and a snare device (ENsnare 9–15 mm; Merit Medical, Philadelphia, USA) was then navigated into the same cavity from the left access (Fig. 3a). The microwire was snared successfully within the colonic perforation cavity and pulled out of the left groin access, achieving access across the pseudoaneurysm (Fig. 3b). The microcatheter was then advanced across the pseudoaneurysm and out of the left groin access. With the distal tip of the microcatheter secured outside, the 0.018″ inch Glidewire was exchanged for an exchange-length stiff microwire (300 cm V-18 Controlwire; Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Massachusetts) which was secured outside the patient's body, providing secure access across the pseudoaneurysm. The microcatheter was removed, and two overlapping 7 mm × 5 cm covered stents (Viabahn; Gore medical, Delaware, USA) were deployed over the wire across the pseudoaneurysm. The stent diameter was chosen based on measurements of the proximal external iliac artery, and initially one stent was placed covering the pseudoaneurysm, but the stent was extended distally when angiographic evidence of dissection was seen distal to the stent. The final angiogram showed no contrast extravasation with good flow into the left External Iliac Artery (Fig. 3c).

An arterial phase angiogram c of the left external iliac artery following deployment of the covered stents shows exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm with no contrast extravasation
The patient was placed on broad-spectrum antibiotics immediately following the procedure and admitted to the intensive care unit. Five days later, the patient was discharged from the intensive care unit after stabilization of her acute clinical course, with negative blood cultures. Following extensive family discussions and given progression of her disease, the patient requested to assume Do Not Resuscitate/Do Not Intubate status and the patient succumbed to her disease 20 days later.
While the use of snaring technique is relatively common among interventional radiologists, we were not able to find in the literature any cases where a snaring device was used to retrieve an extra-vascular device back into the vascular tree. One similar reported case, though not identical, describes the use of two snare devices and a Chiba needle to achieve extra-vascular recanalization in a patient with chronic total occlusion of the popliteal artery (Kahn and Kaufman 2016).
Covered stent placement for exclusion of pseudoaneurysms from the circulation is gaining popularity, owing to the ability to maintain vessel patency and selectively treat the pseudoaneurysm, as opposed to other endovascular techniques (e.g. coil embolization of the parent artery proximal and distal to the pseudoaneurysm) (Madhusudhan et al. 2016; Kim et al. 2014). Deployment of covered stents across a pseudoaneurysm, however, requires wire access across the pseudoaneurysm, which is often achievable using antegrade or retrograde passage of a guidewire across the pseudoaneurysm. In this patient, these methods failed in achieving access across the pseudoaneurysm, owing to the vessel stenosis caused by the surgical clips, along with the rupture of the pseudoaneurysm, which prevented navigation of a wire across it. Employment of the described technique allowed wire access across the pseudoaneurysm. In addition, sacrifice of the vessel by coil embolization proximal and distal to the pseudoaneurysm was not an option because while evidence of chronic stenosis of the External iliac artery is seen on imaging, collateral vessels reaching the common femoral artery that would allow doing that without causing lower limb ischemia were not seen.
The use of this technique, though with expected grim consequences (e.g. sepsis) due to direct contamination of the bloodstream, and intra-vascular stent, with a colonic perforation, allowed successful placement of a covered stent across the bleeding pseudoaneurysm and control of the source of bleeding, that would have likely led to the patient's accelerated death from exsanguination. The patient recovered well from the bleeding after control of the source and, surprisingly, no evidence of bloodstream infection was there following this procedure (under antibiotic coverage).
Although in this instance it did not add significantly to the patient's life span, this technique may be useful in other settings where the immediate survival of the patient relies on controlling the source of bleeding until definitive treatment (e.g. surgical bypass) can be pursued, or in the palliative setting when surgery is not an option.

The Rustless Iron Pillar of Delhi, an Ancient Wonder
The awesome Iron Pillar stands in the center of the courtyard of the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque at Qutub Complex in Mehrauli, Delhi. "Some of the Indian savants told me that it was made of seven metals mixed together", Ibn Batuta says. "Its length is thirty cubits; and its circumference eight. A space equal to the fore-finger on this pillar has been polished; and it is very bright. Even iron produces no effect on the Pillar".
The Pillar is notable for the corrosion-resistance of its cylindrical exposed portion. It was dug out in 1961 for chemical treatment. Its measurements are as follows: The total length of the Pillar is 7.16 meters, ie, about 23 feet and 6 inches, of which 94cm is buried underground. It was built with almost pure malleable iron, which shows only the slightest signs of rusting. (There is a horizontal fissuring on the Pillar thought to be caused by cannonball strike.) The monument is a solid shaft of wrought iron welded together. In 1997, a fence was erected around the pillar.
Legend about the Pillar:
Legend says that King Anang Pal, founder of the Tomar dynasty of Delhi, set up this Pillar. He was assured by a learned Brahman that, as the foot of the Pillar had been driven so deep into the ground that it rested on the head of Vasuki, the legendary king of serpents, who supports the earth, and hence was immovable, and that the dominion would remain in his family as long as the Pillar stood. But the Raja, doubting the truth of the Brahman's statement, ordered the Pillar to be dug up. When this was done, the foot of the Pillar was found wet with the blood of the serpent king, whose head it had pierced. Regretting his unbelief, he raised the Iron Pillar again; but, owing to the king's former incredulity, every plan to fix the Pillar firmly now failed and, in spite of all his efforts, it still remained loose in the ground. And this Dhili Killi (Loose Pillar), is said to have been the origin of the name of the ancient city of Delhi.
Inscription on the Iron Pillar (Translation by J. F. Fleet - 1888):
"He, on whose arm fame was inscribed by the sword, when, in battle in the Vanga countries, he kneaded (and turned) back with (his) breast the enemies who, uniting together, came against (him); he, by whom, having crossed in warfare the seven mouths of the (river) Sindu, the Vahlikas were conquered; he, by the breezes of whose prowess the southern ocean is perfumed even today".
"He, the remnant of the great zeal of whose energy, which utterly destroyed (his) enemies, like (the remnant of the great glowing heat) of a burned-out earth; though he, the king, as if wearied, has quit this earth, and has gone to the other world, moving in (bodily) form to the land (of paradise) won by (the merit of his) actions, (but) remaining on (this) earth by (the memory of his) fame".
"By him, the king, who attained sole supreme sovereignty in the world, acquired by his own arm and (enjoyed) for a very long time; (and) who, having the name of Chandra, carried a beauty of countenance like the full moon (meaning of Chandra is full moon), having in faith fixed his mind upon (the god) Vishnu, this lofty standard of the divine Vishnu was set up on the hill (called) Vishnupada".
A short inscription on the Pillar reads "In 1052, Anang Pal founded Delhi".
Inscription on the Iron Pillar (Translation by Vincent Smith - 1897):
"This lofty standard of the divine Vishnu was erected on Mount Vishnupada by King Chandra, whose thoughts were devoted in faith to Vishnu. The beauty of that king's countenance was as that of the full moon; by him, with his own arm, sole world-wide dominion was acquired and long held; and although, as if wearied, he has in bodily form quit this earth, and passed to the other-world country won by his merit, yet, like the embers of a quenched fire in a great forest, the glow of his foe-destroying energy quits not the earth; by the breezes of his prowess the southern ocean is still perfumed; by him, having crossed the seven mouths of the Indus, were the Vahlikas vanquished in battle; and when, warring in the Vanga countries, he breasted and destroyed the enemies confederate against him, fame was inscribed on (their) arm by his sword".
Who is the Mysterious King Chandra?
It is widely accepted that the Pillar was built in the Gupta period (320 A.D - 495 A.D). But, there is still considerable uncertainty about the identification of King Chandra mentioned in the inscription and original location of the pillar.
The King's achievements mentioned in the inscription are as follows:
King Chandra was a great conqueror.
He was an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu.
He defeated his enemies in the Vanga countries (Bengal).
He crossed the river Indus and conquered the Vahlikas (Bactria of the ancient Greeks, ie, modern Balkh on the Oxus in the northern part of Afghanistan).
He acquired supreme sovereignty by his own abilities.
His dominions extended to the southern ocean.
He reigned for a long time.
The Pillar was set up in honour of Lord Vishnu on a hill named Vishnupada (Vishnu's foot).
Chief archaeologists and scholars who solved the mystery of inscriptions on the Iron Pillar were James Prinsep, Bhau Daji, J. F. Fleet, Vincent Smith and R. Balasubramaniam. Daji recognized the name of the King in the inscription as Chandra. J. F. Fleet identified Chandra as Chandra Gupta I, the founder of the Gupta dynasty. But the list of Samudra Gupta's conquests prove that the dominions of his predecessor Chandra Gupta I were of moderate extent, and it is incredible that his arms ever penetrated either into Bengal or Balkh. Pandit Haraprasad Shastri and Babu Nagendra Nath Vasu identifies 'Chandra' as the Pushkarana king Chandravarman. B. G. Bhattacharya opposes this claim and says that Chandravarman was the ruler of a small territory, and moreover, acknowledged the supremacy of the Gupta emperors. In the opinion of Shriram Goyal, author of the book 'A history of the Imperial Guptas', King Chandra is none other than Samudra Gupta, who had also the name of Chandraprakasa.
According to the evidence of Paleographic (the study of scripts) studies, the 'King Chandra' referred in the inscription could be either Samudra Gupta (approx A.D. 340-376) or his son Chandra Gupta II, popularly known as Vikramaditya (approx A.D. 376-414). The words in the inscription, "the king has quit this earth, and has gone to the other world" reveals the fact that King Chandra was not alive at the time when the inscription was engraved. Hence the composer of the inscription has to be Chandra Gupta II, the son of Samudra Gupta (approx A.D. 376-414), or Kumara Gupta I, the son of Chandra Gupta II (approx A.D. 414-455).
Was he Chandra Gupta Vikramaditya (Chandra Gupta II)?
Dr. Hoernle, Vincent Smith and R. Balasubramaniam, ascribes the Pillar to Chandra Gupta II, in whose reign the Gupta empire reached its climax. He bore the title of Paramabhagavata, the most devout worshiper of Vishnu. In Chandra Gupta II's coins, the short name of the King is inscribed as 'Chandra', while his complete title and name is provided in the circular legend.
Original Location of the Pillar:
The Pillar is neither a vijaya-stambha (pillar of victory) nor a kirti-stambha (pillar of fame) but a dhvaja-stambha (symbolic flagstaff) of Lord Vishnu. It appears that the Pillar was erected as a standard to support the effigy of Garuda, the vehicle of Vishnu (there is a rectangular slot in the top of the Pillar); and was originally installed in a Vishnu temple on a hill by King Chandra, before the inscription could be prepared; and the engraving might have been done by his son some time later.
According to B. G. Bhattacharya, the Pillar was originally set up in the country of the Vahlikas, ie, Balochistan. In the opinion of Vincent Arthur Smith, the Mount Vishnupada mentioned as the location for the Pillar could have been in Mathura, the ancient pilgrim center, which was within the boundary of the mighty Gupta empire, and not very far from Delhi. According to J. Ph. Vogel the temples of Mathura are either Buddhish or Jaina and there are hardly any which pertain to the worship of Vishnu. Moreover, the mounds of Mathura are not natural hills but tumuli. According to him the original location of the Pillar was, most probably, ancient Magadha (modern Bihar) or some neighbouring country. Since there is a short inscription of Anang Pal on it, many scholars opinion that it was that King, who shifted this Pillar to Delhi.
R. Balasubramaniam says that the Pillar was originally located at Udayagiri (near Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh), which is famous for rock-cut caves and temples of the Gupta Period. Udayagiri is renowned for Vaishnavite worship from times even before the Gupta period; and footprint worship is also well established in this region. He adds that Iltutmish shifted it to Delhi. It was part of the booty brought to Delhi after the plunder of Malwa by Iltutmish.
Conclusion: We can conclude that the Iron Pillar at Delhi was built by Chandra Gupta Vikramaditya and inscribed by his son Kumara Gupta I. The original location of the Pillar was Udayagiri.
There are several other inscriptions on the Pillar, which are of no historical importance.

who does the speaker remind me of?
We're always looking for ways to define eloquence, and the ability to persuade an audience does impact the speaker's perceived eloquence. Now the New York Times reports on recent research about mimicry--the extent to which your audience, whether one person or a large group, responds positively to how similar you are. The article notes:
Artful persuasion depends on eye contact, but not just any kind. If one person prefers brief glances and the other is busy staring deeply, then it may not matter how good the jokes are or how much they both loved "Juno." Rhythm counts.
Voice cadence does, too. People who speak in loud, animated bursts tend to feed off others who do the same, just as those who are lower key tend to relax in a cool stream of measured tones.
The research reported here doesn't say whether the mimicry must extend to gender--that is, whether women have a tougher time facing a male audience--but does note that gestures, accents and other similarities gain a good response. It cautions, though, that these can go too far, feeling forced or worse, as if you're mocking the people to whom you're speaking. We say, be genuine, but do pay attention to the room. Have you caught yourself in mimicry when speaking in public?(Photo by etech)

competent or likeable, but not both
New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof today offers a look at women rulers and leaders, and uses psychological research findings about public perceptions of male and female leaders to suggest why female leaders in modern democracies have more trouble with public prejudices than did, say, Queen Elizabeth I. He notes:
...one lesson from this research is that promoting their own successes is a helpful strategy for ambitious men. But experiments have demonstrated that when women highlight their accomplishments, that's a turn-off. And women seem even more offended by self-promoting females than men are....The broader conundrum is that for women, but not for men, there is a tradeoff in qualities associated with top leadership. A woman can be perceived as competent or as likable, but not both.
There's the issue for women who speak in public, be it a meeting or a convention hall: For many, speaking constitutes self-promotion, and that's all the more true the larger your audience gets. And we've already seen that, in negotiations, women accurately sense when their audiences (particularly other women) are likely to receive them negatively, and often choose to silence themselves as a result--not out of poor confidence levels, but from understanding the risks and lack of choices they face with hostile audiences. In our last reader poll, most said "my own fears" were their biggest public speaking barrier, and this column adds more evidence that women's fears about how they'll be received aren't misguided impulses.
The solution, however, doesn't lie in ceding the microphone to others. Kristof includes observations from an MIT economist's studies in India of village councils, one-third of which are required to have female leaders. While the female leaders did a better job, based on objective measures, they were perceived as worse than male leaders when they were first allowed to lead in the 1990s. Subsequent rounds of female leaders drew equal with men in public views, however, and the lead researcher offers this encouragement: "Exposure reduces prejudice." So get out there and start speaking--be it to a small group or a large one.

finding your voice in a big crowd
Super Tuesday's New York Times focused on Hillary Clinton's success in speaking before small groups--roundtables, town hall meetings and the like--in moving, emotional ways that connect with the group, versus her large-rally speeches, seen as less successful. The article, which notes that Clinton will need to connect more with the large crowds ahead in a presidential campaign, uses a rally last week in San Francisco as an example. After a warm and personal introduction by actress Mary Steenburgen, Clinton delivered a fact-filled speech that "sounded like a university lecture." Here's one observer's take, from the article:
"Hillary Clinton can dismiss soaring oratory all she wants, but it works and there is a time and a place for it, such as Friday night in San Francisco," said Ruth Sherman, a political communications consultant who has been tracking Mrs. Clinton's speeches. "When she cannot drop her prepared remarks in favor of what the moment dictates, it bespeaks a tin ear, a lack of flexibility and certainly a missed opportunity."
The article--written by a woman--notes that a plus for Clinton, should she gain the Democratic nomination, is that her male Republican opponents also are not known for soaring rhetoric.
That left me dissatisfied. As a coach of women (and men) who speak publicly, I can't recommend that you hope your competition speaks worse than you do. I wish the coverage had informed readers about what we know about women finding their voices in public: that men talk more than women in public settings, and that women face the double-edged image sword when they connect as women generally prefer to do, building rapport, reflecting emotions and speaking in more personal terms.
More thoughtful were New York University gender scholar Carol Gilligan's observations the day before Super Tuesday, during her appearance on the Kojo Nnamdi Show, a Washington public radio talk show. Gilligan, author of the landmark psychological book on women In a Different Voice, was asked, "What's jumped out at you about the way gender is used, misused, or ignored by the public, the media, and the candidates in this election?" by the host. She replied:
I think it's the unspoken subtext. It's very, very hard to talk about it. And why is that? To me, there is a constant filtering, not so much of Barack Obama, who...gets a pass because of gender, in a certain sense, but with Hillary, that she has a gender resonance to everything she says. So some of her hesitance in terms of speaking is to try to, kind of, figure out how it will be heard through this gender filter and adjust accordingly.
You know, when she said in New Hampshire, basically, thank you, I found resonance here, and now I can speak in my voice, I could hear the physical change in her voice. She was actually speaking to someone, not speaking at them. And I thought, she -- that's the gender thing, that that gender filter was gone, and she felt she could speak directly as a human being to other human beings.
Gilligan went on to note that W. E. B. Du Bois called this "the peculiar sensation of double consciousness," going on to explain that, as a woman or as an African-American, "you have to hear both how you are heard...and also how you hear yourself. And you have to hold both of those things." Are you speaking in your own voice when you speak publicly? Do you notice the differences Gilligan describes? While it sounds--and is--uncomfortable for many women to grapple with these filters, my feeling is that it's better to understand and acknowledge them, at least to yourself. You'll then be more free to reach your audience as an authentic and understanding speaker.

using 'women's work' to add eloquence
Susan Cooke Kittredge combines heritage with eloquence -- and uses needlework, specifically mending -- to do so in a "This I Believe" essay broadcast this morning on National Public Radio. (You can read the essay and hear the audio of Kittredge reading it here.) It's an excellent example of an eloquent woman who doesn't shy from describing what's known as 'women's work' to make her points. She sets the analogy early in the short essay:
...I believe in mending. The solace and comfort I feel when I pick up my needle and thread clearly exceeds the mere rescue of a piece of clothing. It is a time to stop, a time to quit running around trying to make figurative ends meet; it is a chance to sew actual rips together. I can't stop the war in Iraq, I can't reverse global warming, I can't solve the problems of my community or the world, but I can mend things at hand. I can darn a pair of socks.
But what takes this essay to eloquence comes later, as Kittredge uses sewing and mending to lead into the description of her grandmother's rape at age 78 by an intruder. She stitches us a progression, from her grandmother's sewing prowess and her own failed attempts, to the rape and her grandmother's subsequent focus on mending, rather than making, clothes, as a way of healing. Kittredge uses her skills as a minister and her heritage as daughter of Alistair Cooke, the noted British broadcaster, no doubt--but it's her willingness to share and describe women's work as a metaphor for women's woes that moves us. While this metaphor has been used before in history, today we see a backlash, a double-edged sword for women seeking to employ the feminine approach in public speaking--a tactic that nonetheless works for men in public view. Yet, as a writer and a speaking coach, I know you're at your most eloquent and most effective when you can speak this way: from the heart, from your experience and from your own viewpoint.

MHA Alternate Universe Fanfiction Reveals Sides of the Cast You've Never Known
Posted By: Elias Baz
With such an expansive cast and interesting lore, it's no wonder My Hero Academia has as many fanfiction stories as it does. On Archive of Our Own alone, MHA has over 21,000 works for fans to peruse. The majority of these fall under the Alternate Universe (AU) genre, where characters from the canon storyline are brought into other worlds by writers for fun and exploration. In MHA's case, it could be a place where Quirks don't exist and the characters are regular high school students, or where Class 1-A's students are villains instead of heroes in training.
Whatever the case, this genre of fanfiction is usually created to explore the world and characters in ways the canon doesn't. Because AUs can be about anything, their content is varied. However, it can be broken down into a few general categories.
The most popular Alternate Universe fanfiction in My Hero Academia revolve around Deku. They can take place in worlds where Deku becomes a villain or a vigilante, or where he has a Quirk or does not inherit One for All. There's at least one prominent fanfiction for each of these ideas, but one takes the world of MHA and looks at it from a unique perspective. In The Roundabout Way of Fate by itsmyartfam, Deku is born with a powerful healing Quirk that nobody was expecting. As he ages and eventually gets to UA, Deku carves out a place for himself in the world of healers and discovers it may be harder than being a hero.
In this fic, the author considers what healers may have to handle in a hero society -- from the dangers they face to the politics involved -- and builds a story around it. It still follows the events of MHA but tweaks them with the changes to Deku's character in mind, so every story beat is different from canon. It adheres to the official material as much as possible, but not all AUs do this.
One of fanfiction's main draws to readers is wish fulfillment. Fans often develop ideas about a character from canon context that they want to explore on a deeper level. Especially when this aspect of a character isn't utilized in canon, AUs are created so fans can get what they want. A popular change to canon involves Aizawa Shota and the canon fact that he is essentially fostering Eri while she learns to control her Quirk. To fans, this shows a rarely seen parental side of the hero. As a result, fanfiction where he has adopted any number of characters, especially Shinso Hitoshi, are a common sight.
Of Owning a Cafe and Other Heroic Deeds... by Beware_The_Tristero takes this idea to the extreme in a cat cafe setting. In a world where Aizawa lost his parents as a child and then aged out of the foster system, he never went to UA or pursued a career in heroics. Instead, he seeks to improve the area he calls home with a community hub of his own design. Thus, the Noraneko Cafe is born. Along the way he takes in a couple of troubled kids, becomes the focus of a group of Pro Heroes, and gradually changes his neighborhood. While Quirks still exist, everything else from character occupations to ages has been altered to fit the author's vision.
Besides wish fulfillment, many people write fanfiction as a safe way to escape reality or cope with life. Bakugo Katsuki in particular is an interesting case study in this realm. In canon he's abrasive, loud and as explosive as his Quirk. Because of this, some MHA fans hate him and find him unbearable. There are others, however, who adore him -- and they seem to be the majority based on official popularity polls. One reason for this is because those who are victims of abuse see pieces of themselves in him. His unwavering independence, enforced distance from others and near-constant anger can be interpreted as responses to trauma.
As a result, writers create fanfiction exploring this with varying degrees of maturity. On one end of the spectrum are the AUs where an adult, usually a Pro Hero, in Bakugo's life notices a problem and saves him from what is happening -- like Best Jeanist does in Lessons Learned by Sif (Rosae). After seeing his mother's treatment of Bakugo first hand, Jeanist takes emergency custody and works to remove him from his home.
On the other side are stories where Bakugo saves himself by running away. One example of this is Healing Hands by KayMacBurn. In this AU, a middle school Bakugo is frequently kicked out of his home for long periods of time and starts hanging out in poorer areas of Mustafu. There he meets a doctor who treats anyone who comes into his clinic, and the man pseudo-adopts Bakugo by making him his assistant. Under his care, Bakugo gets familiar with the city's underbelly and uses his experiences to fuel his desire to become a hero.
Whether it's to see the canon world in a new way or for deeper reasons, Alternate Universe fanfiction is just as varied as the people who write it -- and My Hero Academia is no exception. For this reason, it's very likely there's something out there to please every reader.

There are 30 different products categories in the column above. Together they represent what just about all the Outdoor Room products that a successful specialty retailer could (should?) carry. But let's be honest here. It's only a very few specialty retailers who do a great job at selling Outdoor Rooms.
Perhaps it's because most specialty retailers simply don't have the talent and skills to speak about an Outdoor Room design. Or it could be that they're intimidated by the effort required in assembling a heavy pergola, or a stone island with a granite top.
Maybe they just want to do what they do best – sell products, one by one, and help the customer to their pickup truck with their purchase. Help me here, because I truly cannot understand why so many retailers are willing to leave so much money on the table. My email is wright@villagewest.com.
The chart on the left shows products that gained penetration into the specialty retail channel, or stayed even with the prior year, and it's about an even split between those products that gained (14), and those that lost penetration (16). Even a hot category such as fire pits dropped five percentage points, while Outdoor Fireplaces – Wood, lost 9 points.
On the service side, the percent of retailers who sell and install outdoor kitchens dropped by eight points; the percent of retailers who provide design services for customers decreased by five points.
The percent of retailers who sell and install pergolas declined by 3%, and the percent that sell and install gazebos dropped by 11%.
Now, do yourself a favor and read the lead article in this issue; it talks about trends regarding Outdoor Rooms. You'll find that just about every survey, and every professional in the field, points to the Outdoor Room as one of the key trends in the country today. It's going strong, and it's not going away anytime soon. Think about it.

The Turkmen ambassador noted that such an event had not been held for more than three years. The impetus for this was the recent state visit of the President of Kazakhstan to Turkmenistan. According to Rejepov, the ministries of culture and sports of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan are working on this.
The ambassador reminded that next year is the jubilee year of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan. In this regard, a number of activities are planned.
"Fundamental among them is an agreement on friendly relations on cooperation, as well as an agreement on strategic partnership, signed within the framework of the state visit of the President of Turkmenistan to Kazakhstan in 2017," Batyr Rejepov added.

History of Our Humble Beginnings...
Many years passed as Prophet continued to pray and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit. In 1993, after a visit by a sales rep from a new station in town, the Lord again spoke to the Prophet and told him to 'inquire about that station, because you're going to purchase it." He was obedient to the voice of God and, in August 1993, He and his wife Lois went to the act of sale for KKNO AM RADIO STATION. Lois now serves as the CEO and General Manager.
.K-75 AM is unique because it is the first and only locally owned and operated African American Radio Station in the city of New Orleans. Being locally owned and operated has an advantage over those stations owned by large corporations based elsewhere – because we live in this area we know the needs of the people here. Therefore, our goal is to minister to those needs through Gospel Radio as best as we possibly can.
It is true that we are a low-powered daytime station, operating only at 250kw, but, in spite of that, we have a very high impact on the city and its vicinity. Our range covers the entire New Orleans area, including Orleans and Jefferson, the Louisiana Bayou area, the NorthShore across Lake Pontchartrain and the entire Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Our listening audience is comparable to the city's oldest Gospel radio station that has been around for nearly 50 ears. It has been said that K-75 is very strong competition for them. The tremendous success of this station can be attributed first to God and then to its well-rounded format. As you tune in to KKNO you will hear music that caters to every age group, local and national ministries, community interests, talk shows and a program for women. Over the years, our listeners have been blessed by such dynamic worldwide ministries as Dr. Frederick K.C. Price, Dr. Tony Evans, Rev. Clay Evans, Bishop Paul S. Morton, Bishop Eddie Long, Bishop Darryl S. Brister, Bishop Robert C. Blakes, Sr., and others as well.
In the early stage of owning and operating K-75, God blessed us to purchase our own building and new equipment. We are currently operating with a staff of 9 and growing. There are future plans to expand. At the present time engineers are working to find a way for this very powerful low-powered station to increase its wattage. If we are unable to do so, we will look into the possibility of purchasing other stations.
The terminology "Unmistakably Christian Radio" was adopted because we want people to know without a shadow of a doubt, who we are, and who we represent. When one tunes in there will be no mistake about whether we are Christian Radio or not. Our aim is to lift up the Name of Jesus in every way possible through the media of radio. We thank God for giving us K-75AM!
Prophet Robert C. Blakes, Sr., often referred to as the "Man with the Golden Voice", has always had a love for radio. Early in his ministry, he experienced much success because of his powerful and anointed radio broadcasts. As his charismatic personality was heard across the airways, many people flocked to his services, causing him a shortage of space.
During the 70's, there were several radio stations in the city who solicited business from the churches there, but christianity was not their chief concern. Thus, accommodations were poor. Local ministers patronized these broadcasting companies, accepting whatever was handed to them only because they desired to have radio broadcasts.
The Lord spoke to the Prophet, saying: "The ministers need to organize and purchase their own radio station." Prophet passed this word on to various other pastors in an effort to get them to come together cooperatively for this purpose. This plan never materialized.
