PD-L1 Inhibitor Pembrolizumab Produces Good Responses in Advanced Gastric Cancer
Add gastric cancer to the list of cancers that respond to immunotherapy. In patients with advanced gastric cancer who express programmed cell death (PD)-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1), the humanized monoclonal antibody pembrolizumab demonstrated robust antitumor activity and an acceptable safety profile, according to updated results presented at the 2015 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium.
In the phase 1b KEYNOTE-012 trial in patients with previously treated advanced gastric cancer, 22.2% achieved an objective response with pembrolizumab, said Kei Muro, MD, of the Aichi Cancer Center Hospital, Nagoya, Japan, and lead investigator of the KEYNOTE-012 trial.
"Overall, these findings support the importance of the PD-L1 pathway in gastric cancer and the further development of pembrolizumab as a treatment option for patients with advanced gastric cancer," said Muro.
"PD-1 is a negative costimulatory receptor expressed on the surface of the activated T cell and plays an important role in suppressing immune surveillance," he said. "Binding of PD-1 to its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, inhibits effector T-cell function, which dampens the immune response and leads to neoplastic growth." The expression of PD-L1 in tumors correlates with poor prognosis.
Pembrolizumab is a selective, humanized monoclonal antibody designed to block the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands, thereby reactivating the immune system to eradicate the host tumor.
The administration of 10-mg/kg pembrolizumab monotherapy every 2 weeks was evaluated in KEYNOTE-012 in patients with recurrent or metastatic stomach or gastroesophageal cancer with PD-L1 expression. Of the 162 evaluable patients, 65 (40%) had PD-L1 expression. Of these 65 patients, 39 were enrolled in the trial and received pembrolizumab intravenously.
Overall, 51.3% of the patients had a previous gastrectomy; 66.7% had received ?2 previous therapies for advanced disease.
After a median follow-up of 8.8 months, "pembrolizumab demonstrated strong evidence of anticancer activity," said Muro. The response rate was 22.2% by central review (33.3% by investigator review); all were partial responses. Stable disease was recorded in 13.9% of patients by central review (12.8% by investigator).
"Overall, 53.1% experienced a decrease from baseline in the size of their target lesions," Muro said.
The median time to response was 8 weeks, and the median duration of response was 24 weeks. "Response to pembrolizumab was durable, with 6 of the 8 responders maintaining response," said Muro.
The 6-month rate of progression-free survival (PFS) was 24%, and the median PFS was 1.9 months. The overall survival (OS) rate at 6 months was 69%, and the median OS had not been reached at the time of the analysis.
"There was a trend toward an association between higher levels of PD-L1 expression and response, PFS, and OS," Muro said. "Further analysis of these preliminary data is ongoing to help determine the relationship between PD-L1 expression and antitumor activity in gastric cancer."
The safety profile of pembrolizumab was acceptable. Most adverse events were grade 1 or 2. The most common adverse events were fatigue (17.9%), decreased appetite (12.8%), hypothyroidism (12.8%), and arthralgia (10.3%). Four patients had severe adverse events (peripheral sensory neuropathy, fatigue, decreased appetite, and pneumonitis); 1 patient died from treatment-associated hypoxia.

How to avoid being wrong
On a Thursday in November of 2009, thousands of students across the University of California system protested against a 32% hike in tuition that had been enacted the same day. Earlier, administrators of the university system were facing a major budget shortfall because the state itself had a major drop in tax revenue, because there had been a major drop in the employment rate, because there was a major drop in consumer spending, because there was a major drop in loans being made, because there was a major drop in confidence between banks as a result of major loan defaults by giant institutions, because of a major loss of equity, because of a major drop in mortgage repayments that the derivative equities were based on. Somewhere in the world a homeowner defaults, and years later a college student feels he's been denied opportunity and justice.
"Shame on you! Shame on you!" the students chanted as one of the university regents members left the building to go home. Shame on who? The regents member for capitulating, or the students for blaming a budget hole on him? The students held a strong opinion, backed with a lot of emotion. But there is a problem with opinions: if you have one, no matter what it is, it's probably wrong. This is statistically speaking, of course: the odds are against you that you came to the right conclusion. Or put another way: of all the opinions that have ever been held by anybody, only a tiny minority turned out to be factually correct. This ranges from the opinion that school buses ought to be painted blue, all the way up to the opinion that the United States should have invaded Iraq.
If you want to avoid being wrong, then opinions are your enemy because their nature--as the conclusion of a single person--means they are unavoidably ill-informed. Even if California didn't have a budget shortfall, for example, there would still be pressure to increase tuition rates due to the Baumol effect and a thousand other legitimate but orthogonal reasons. But is it likely that any given student will be aware of them all when he reacts to the news that he'll have to pay more for the same education next year? Probably not.
If you want to avoid being wrong, you're going to be limited to the kinds of things you chose to be right about:
Statements that can be verified with logic on a finite number of absolutes (mathematical facts)
Subjective statements made after the community has tested the value (eg: "murder is wrong")

Which Motion Pictures Do You Intend To Give Ua Commerce Township Arena 14?
The UA was the infant of Detroit's flick palaces, as it was the smallest of the titans. The UA was developed solely for movies– a rarity at the time– as well as showed mostly United Artists films. The motion-picture studio was established in 1919 by actors Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks as well as supervisor D.W. Griffith– 4 of the biggest names in showbiz at the top.

Photographer Maurizio Picci tells us about the importance of pre-photographic procedures.
I often find myself taking pictures of the most diverse things, both for personal passion and work reasons. In all cases, the pre-photography rite is important: to take the perfect picture, you need TO OBSERVE.
The jewel I chose as an example is an aluminum ring crafted by Monica Bardino for Persea Design. The metal feels smooth; it is nice and supple to the touch. The first thing that came into my mind was to play with contrasts.
2 mm white plexiglass (I bought a 1mX1m sheet for 17.90€ , but a white cardboard will be fine too).
a 60 W spot-light lamp(2,10€).
a rough black stone ( I had it at home. Take a look around and use things you already have!).
I chose this hard and rough stone to obtain a contrast effect with the smoothness of the ring. The plexiglass sheet, used both as shelf and background, will give a nice chiaroscuro effect, very effective in highlighting the picture.
The main light must be placed under the subject of the photo, and plexiglass must be lifted in order to host the lamp. If you use a cardboard sheet remember to use also a see-through shelf ( such as a glass frame).
After placing the plexiglass or cardboard, bend it on one side to create a gentle corner that will be used as background. Turn on the spotlight under the shelf. You will immediately notice a concentration of the light on the horizontal part, and a grey shade on the vertical part, where the bend was created.
All you have to do now is arrange the subject of the picture in place and CLICK!
Now, upload the picture on a photo-retouch software, balance the white, adjust contrast and sharpness if needed and…done!
We would like to inform you all that Maurizio Picci, photographer and writer of the guest post, will hold a two day workshop at Source – Self Made Design. The course will be held on Friday September 13th and Saturday 14th from 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. (full schedule at here ). The cost is only 30€ , reservation needed, since we only have 20 places available. Source – Self Made Design is the first self-made design exhibit, with the consultancy of Make Tank, and will be held in the Villa Strozzi "Limonaia", in Florence, from September 12th to September 19th. Our workshop "Done! And now, how do I sell it?" will be held on September 13th from 5.30 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. (full schedule here).
First exposed to photography at age 18 with his uncle, a professional photographer. At first, just a small work business, mostly printouts and ceremonies, a work soon becoming a passion because photography is a different way to see the world.
He prefers "thought" styles such as still-life, architecture and landscaping. Thoughtful moments where a pictures becomes a summary of both subject and landscape.
A student at the Faculty of Architecture in Florence, he actively works as freelance photographer for events, design and architecture ateliers and cultural organizations.

Throughout the first half of , much of the world has grappled with the reality of the coronavirus COVID pandemic, as the outbreak spread rapidly across entire countries and shut down large segments of the global economy. Like so many other facets of life disrupted by the pandemic, antitrust enforcers around the globe have been forced to adjust and respond to the crisis. Entire agencies moved to remote working environments, attending meetings, interviews, depositions, and even court hearings by video.
Enforcers issued guidance and implemented review procedures intended to facilitate legitimate cooperation among competitors aimed at combating the outbreak. At the same time, the U. Department of Justice DOJ , the Competition Bureau of Canada , and other enforcers have repeatedly warned that they are on the lookout for anticompetitive conduct relating to the pandemic. We anticipate future investigations stemming from anticompetitive conduct during the pandemic. In the meantime, enforcers have been virtually active in a number of industries in recent months.
These updates and more are in this latest edition of the Quarterly Cartel Catch-Up. The law, which lapsed on June 22, incentivizes companies to apply for leniency by affording them the opportunity to limit their liability in follow-on private litigation. However, the reauthorization leaves open the perceived shortcomings of the statute, many of which were raised at a roundtable on ACPERA hosted by the Division last year.
In addition, a company does not learn until after a judgment has been entered whether it will receive ACPERA benefits, which allows for lingering uncertainty while the litigation plays out. On June 3, , the Division announced that a federal grand jury in Denver had returned an indictment charging four executives in the poultry-processing industry for their role in a conspiracy to fix prices and rig bids for broiler chickens. To date, neither company has been charged.

Members of Mexico's drug cartels are really starting to harness the power of the internet, using it to run positive PR campaigns, post selfies with their pistols, and hunt down targets by tracking their movements on social media. The project looks into "how cyberspace is empowering individuals and rewiring relations in Latin America" and has uncovered a wealth of information about how cartels are using the internet to their own nefarious ends.
The first point Antoine touched on was how cartels have utilized cyberspace in much the same way as a TV company's PR department might: "They advertise their activities, they conduct public relations initiatives, and they have basically turned themselves into their own media company," he explained. Not all cartels want to be seen as the bad guys these days.

Nicknamed "El Chapo" or "Shorty" for his 5'6″ height he founded the Sinaloa cartel in , over time building it into an immensely profitable global drug-trafficking operation. One such escape came in July , although he was recaptured the following January in the Mexican city of Los Mochis. Extradited to New York City to stand trial, the drug lord was convicted of a slew of charges and sentenced to life in prison in The date of his birth is believed to be April 4, , according to Time magazine, although other outlets list December 25, , as his birthday.
With little schooling in his background, he eventually found himself following his father's path, growing marijuana for small amounts of cash. As the power of the Colombian drug cartels like Medellin and Cali began to wane, Sinaloa was among the Mexican organizations filling the void. And he has more power and financial capability than Capone ever dreamed of. In addition to cocaine, Sinaloa trafficked heroin, marijuana and methamphetamine into the U. Through bribes he arranged for conjugal visits and was largely allowed to run his drug operation.

There is consensus among economists that cartels can lead to damages after the official end date of an infringement and in these.
When a well-paid — but potentially dangerous — job opportunity came up, this young man took the risk. It was like clockwork, every day, at 3pm, 10 guys would turn up with what must have been millions, and a female employee would take it down to the bank. Nobody asked questions. In that moment I became convinced that my fear was true — I was working for a drug cartel.
Growing up in Mexico, the threat these Mafia-like criminal gangs posed was always in the background of daily life. Most of the time, it was possible to block out the endless news reports or rumours of bloody killings, but when it did finally intrude upon my life I was worried I wouldn't be able to escape. My understanding of how dangerous the cartels were was really heightened when I was about It was , and a new president, Felipe Calderon , had just taken office.
I remember him being determined to fight the cartels, and sending the military after them. He was president until , but the battle carried on after he left office.
The begin and end dates of cartels are often ambiguous, despite competition authorities stating them with seeming precision. The legally established infringement period s , based on documentary evidence, need not coincide with the period s of actual cartel effects. In this paper, we study the consequences for antitrust damage estimation of using cartel dates that are different from the actual begin and end dates of the effects of the collusion. Obviously, different dates imply different periods and volumes purchased over which damages can be claimed — possibly more.
It also affects estimation of the so-called but-for prices, which are the prices that most likely would have been paid in the absence of collusion.

In this paper, we show that misdating cartel effects leads to a weak overestimation of but-for prices and an underestimation of overcharges.

The bias in antitrust damage estimation based on predicted cartel prices can have either sign.

Deborah Ann Woll Becomes The Dungeon Master In New D&D Series
Legendary Entertainment has found a new and original show for their "Alpha" streaming service from Deborah Ann Woll called 'Relics and Rarities'! The idea behind the show was born from Woll's love of 'Dungeons & Dragons' and takes place in the sleepy town of Bellbrook. This new series has Woll as a combination of a Dungeon Master and storytelling where each episode has a cast that is racing against the clock to stop a prophecy from coming true.
However, the actions and story of each episode in this scripted series will change as their game plays out.
According to Woll:
"I'm so excited to finally announce my new show, Relics, and Rarities. We've assembled a stellar creative team, along with amazingly intricate set design, props, and puzzles, a hilarious and surprising cast – and an original world and campaign of my own creation. You'll have to watch to see what tricks I have up my sleeve."

This Is The Difference Between Having Ebola in America and in West Africa
Michel du Cille/The Washington Post via Getty Images
Because Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person to test positive for Ebola in the U.S., is receiving treatment in this country, his odds of survival are much higher than they have been for any of the roughly 7,150 cases in West Africa. So far, the others treated for Ebola in American hospitals have all survived, while the outbreak has killed more than 3,300 in West Africa, based on the World Health Organization's latest estimate. And that number is sure to get much higher. The worst-case scenario for Ebola in Liberia and Sierra Leone envisions as many as 1.4 million cases by January, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
The reason for the different odds here and there is obvious: In U.S. hospitals, patients are isolated in hospital rooms specially set up for biocontainment, they receive specialized care and hydration, and have access to an experimental vaccine. That's not happening in West Africa. In order to end this epidemic there , the CDC estimates, at least 70 percent of patients must be isolated in hospitals. In Liberia, the figure is just 18 percent. Over the last few weeks, the world has stepped up its response, with the U.S. committing to send military personnel to help train and build 17 treatment centers with 100 beds each. It still won't be enough.
You don't even need numbers to appreciate the severity of need for more beds and better care. You just need to look at the conditions of medical facilities in Liberia and Sierra Leone, two of the countries hard-hit by Ebola. For example, compare two images below. One is of the Emory University isolation unit, where three patients received treatment. The other photograph, taken by the Washington Post's Michel du Cille, in late September, shows a hospital that's become a transfer and holding facility in one of the poorest parts of Monrovia, Liberia. It doesn't take an advanced degree in medicine to figure out which facility is adequate—and which is not.

Hurricane Florence next storm in the pipeline, and more are expected to follow

Though Gordon is making the headlines, the next storm in the pipeline is Hurricane Florence, now spinning more than 2,000 miles out in the central Atlantic Ocean.
Florence became a hurricane Tuesday morning, the third hurricane of the 2018 Atlantic season.
Most computer models predict Florence will curve away from the U.S. and move harmlessly out to sea, but that isn't certain yet. Some impact on the U.S. "can't be ruled out, but it's unlikely," University of Miami meteorologist Brian McNoldy told the Capital Weather Gang. "Bermuda should be paying close attention, though."

More: 'Weather models have flipped the switch': Hurricane season coming to life in the Atlantic
At least two more storms are expected in the week ahead as the hurricane season reaches its typical mid-September peak.
The next two storms would be named Helene and Isaac, both of which are forecast to form just off the west coast of Africa. The National Hurricane Center said there's a 70 percent chance that a tropical depression will form within the next five days. If it reaches 39 mph, it would be Tropical Storm Helene.
Quite possible this weekend that we will have 3 active Atlantic tropical storms ... Florence, Helene, and Isaac.
The "I" storm would be 9th storm of the season ... and the last two could really pile up the ACE. #HurricaneSeasonpic.twitter.com/Ev8gBbGE3O

Another storm, which would become Isaac, is waiting in the wings over western Africa.
"It's quite possible this weekend that we will have three active Atlantic tropical storms," tweeted weather.us meteorologist Ryan Maue.
"Even if both these systems (Helene and Isaac) form, it's too early to determine whether either of these would affect any land areas down the road," Weather Channel meteorologist Chris Dolce said.
Tracking multiple systems like these for development in the Atlantic in September is not unusual, Dolce added. Some of them grow into tropical storms or hurricanes, while others do not.

Many storms this time of year form off the coast of Africa. They are known as Cape Verde hurricanes, since they form near that island nation about 350 miles west of Senegal. The nation is also known as Cabo Verde.
Some of these storms have intensified into infamous and destructive East Coast hurricanes such as Donna in 1960 and Hugo in 1989.
Cape Verde hurricanes typically form during the heart of the Atlantic hurricane season. Sometimes they grow and intensify into powerful, destructive storms that can hit the U.S. East Coast. (Photo: NOAA)

Q: Ordinary Differential Equations divergence of successive approximations I searched this and couldn't find my question on here so here it goes:
This is an example from a text I'm reading and I was hoping someone could shed some light on my misunderstanding.
Let $y'=2x-2\sqrt{y_+}$, where $y_+=\mathrm{max}\{y,0\}$ and $y(0)=0$. Then using the Euler-Cauchy Polygon method, we can show that the sequence of functions do not converge. The text goes on to say that indeed, $y_0=0$, $y_1=x^2$ and in general $y_{2n+1}=x^2$ and $y_{2n}=0$. I'm not sure how they got $y_1=x^2$.
Using this method, the line joining the points $(x_0,y_0)=(0,0)$ and $(x_1,y_1)$ is given the line through $(x_0,y_0)$ with slope $f(x_0,y_0)$. Which would give the slope equal to $0$ in this case so $y_1=0$. Maybe I'm not understanding the method correctly though.

A: You mixed up two methods:

*

*the Method Of Successive Approximation, mentioned in the title, also known as the Picard iteration

*the Euler-Cauchy polygon method, also known as Euler's method.

The computation with $y_{2n+1}=x^2$ uses Picard iteration. It's quite simple: the initial guess $y_0$ is the constant function equal to the initial value, $0$. Plug this function into the right hand side of equation and integrate the result to get $y_1$:
$$y_1(x)=\int_0^x \left(2t-\sqrt{y_0(t)^+}\right)\,dt = x^2$$
Then do it again:
$$y_2(x)=\int_0^x \left(2t-\sqrt{y_1(t)^+}\right)\,dt = \int_0^x 0\,dt=0 $$
and the process repeats.

The Euler-Cauchy polygon method, as the name suggests, produces polygonal curves (piecewise linear functions), so it could not give you something like $x^2$. Also, it is not a method of iterative approximation: rather, it gives an approximation $y_h$ for every step size $h>0$.  The method has its issues with precision, but when $h$ is small enough, it does give a decent approximation in your example.

Training at an Early Age – Insights from Steve Cram, Herb Elliott, John Walker & Ron Delaney
In the early 1990's the Australian Olympic Committee and the New South Wales Institute of Sport organised a special opportunity for Australia's leading middle distance coaches and athletes to meet and talk with former mile world record-holders, Steve Cram, John Walker, Herb Elliott and Ron Delaney. Luckily, some of this golden content was captured and somehow not lost during the following 25 years. Below, some of these questions and answers are summarised.

Riley Day: In Pearson's footsteps
An article preview from Australian Athlete: National Championships 2018 was a weekend to remember for Riley Day and coach Donna Thomas. The teenager from Beaudesert in Queensland stunned the athletics world by winning both the 100m and 200m National titles at just 17 years of age, with the 200m being the 3rd fastest junior performance of all time by an Australian. "I had no idea what time I was going to run" said Day, who was competing in her 6th event across the four day carnival. "I didn't set expectations too high going into Nationals, but after the Semi Final of the 200m, I felt like I could go a lot faster in the final. It was the best I had felt all weekend despite...

MURRAY GOODWIN Dropping Bombs at 31
For Murray Goodwin, the athletics journey he has taken would be described as anything but normal. It started off in the regular way with his dad introducing him to little athletics at a young age, but from then on it has been far from conventional. In little athletics, he held records and made state teams in a variety of events. Hurdles, 200m, 400m, 800m were his focus across different seasons. But to him athletics was just a small part of his sporting focus, playing a variety of sports through his teenage years, and once he left school and athletics competitions began to dry up, soccer became his main focus. "I always knew I was more talented at athletics, but I...

Q: When does a limit reach a value $< 1$? I'm working on a proof in number theory, and have encountered a proof. If I include the proof, I can show that as some numbers tends to infinity, they follow a certain rule. Unfortunately, this is not precise enough, so I have set  up an inequality. This is the limit:
$$\lim \limits_{n \to \infty} g \cdot \left(1-(1-\prod_{i=1}^n (1-\frac{1}{p_i}))\right)$$
and know that it tends to $0$. In this case, $p_i$ are the prime numbers, and $g$ is any number in-between $p_{n}+1 $ and $p_{n+1} -1$. I would like to know at which n the expression is less than $1$. In other words/symbols:
$$\lim_{n \to \infty} g \cdot \left(1-(1-\prod_{i=1}^n (1-\frac{1}{p_i}))\right) < 1.$$
I've written a short bit of code in Python and had it reviewed on Code Review. Since I've tried numbers up to 100 million and did not reach a number less than $1$, I would like to know whether there is some mathematical of  arriving at the result, or whether my limit is just wrong. Thanks!

A: A counter proof ... I feel like stealing the answer from Daniel Fischer, but here is evidence I knew about Mertens' theorem before. To avoid any further doubts:
$$ g \cdot \left(1-\left(1-\prod_{i=1}^n \left(1-\frac{1}{p_i}\right)\right)\right) \geq (p_{n}+1)\cdot \prod_{i=1}^n \left(1-\frac{1}{p_i}\right)=$$
$$=\frac{p_{n}+1}{\ln{(p_n+1)}}\cdot \ln{(p_n+1)} \cdot \prod_{i=1}^n \left(1-\frac{1}{p_i}\right)=$$
$$=\frac{p_{n}+1}{\ln{(p_n+1)}}\cdot e^{-\gamma} \cdot \frac{\ln{(p_n+1)} \cdot \prod_{i < p_n+1} \left(1-\frac{1}{p_i}\right)}{e^{-\gamma}}>$$
$$>\frac{p_{n}+1}{\ln{(p_n+1)}}\cdot e^{-\gamma} \cdot (1-\varepsilon)$$
starting with some $n$ for some $\varepsilon$ (from the definition of limit). The latter goes to $\infty$.
Another way (to add some creativity from me) is to exploit this result:
$$\liminf_{n \rightarrow \infty} \varphi(n)\cdot \frac{\ln{\ln{n}}}{n}=e^{-\gamma}$$
where $$\prod_{i=1}^n \left(1-\frac{1}{p_i}\right)=\frac{\varphi\left(\prod_{i=1}^n p_i\right)}{\prod_{i=1}^n p_i}$$
so that
$$g \cdot \left(1-\left(1-\prod_{i=1}^n \left(1-\frac{1}{p_i}\right)\right)\right) \geq (p_{n}+1)\cdot \prod_{i=1}^n \left(1-\frac{1}{p_i}\right)=(p_{n}+1)\cdot \frac{\varphi\left(\prod_{i=1}^n p_i\right)}{\prod_{i=1}^n p_i}=$$
$$=\frac{p_{n}+1}{\ln{\ln{\left(\prod_{i=1}^n p_i\right)}}}\cdot \varphi\left(\prod_{i=1}^n p_i\right) \cdot \frac{\ln{\ln{\left(\prod_{i=1}^n p_i\right)}}}{\prod_{i=1}^n p_i}>$$
considering the definition of $\liminf$
$$>\frac{p_{n}+1}{\ln{\ln{\left(\prod_{i=1}^n p_i\right)}}} \cdot (1-\varepsilon) \cdot e^{-\gamma}=$$
(from some $n$ onwards of course)
$$=\frac{p_{n}+1}{\ln{\left(\sum_{i=1}^n \ln{p_i}\right)}} \cdot (1-\varepsilon) \cdot e^{-\gamma} > \frac{p_{n}+1}{\ln{\left(n\cdot \ln{p_n}\right)}} \cdot (1-\varepsilon) \cdot e^{-\gamma}=\frac{p_{n}+1}{\ln{n} + \ln{\ln{p_n}}} \cdot (1-\varepsilon) \cdot e^{-\gamma}$$
which again is easy to see it goes to $\infty$.

Despite several unprecedented industrial achievements (such as surpassing The Jeffersons[CBS, 1975-1985] as the longest running Black sitcom), when considered within the context of the history and formal structure of the Black sitcom, House of Payne digresses as itrejuvenates the narrative conventions and visual cues of uncritical Black minstrelsy. Rife with missed opportunities for teaching complex lessons about Black subjectivity, esteem, and interiority, Perry's sitcom succeeded, then, mostly because of the continued omission of blackness on television.Less

This chapter focuses on Lydia Bailey (20th C.-Fox, 1952), Hollywood's only film set during the Haitian Revolution. This romance-adventure hybrid (by Philip Dunne and Michael Blankfort) placed fictional white Americans alongside real figures such as Toussaint Louverture. Lydia Bailey was acclaimed in 1952 as a groundbreaking change in how Hollywood portrayed Black History. The chapter argues that Lydia Bailey, representing a particular moment in postwar and Cold War cinema, was antiracist and forward-thinking in many ways. It supported the idea of decolonization and justified the violence of Haitian revolutionaries against colonists seeking to reenslave them. Nevertheless, it contained stereotypes about Haiti and Blacks in general. The chapter also asks: How did House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) hearings affect the film's production? How was it received by white and African American viewers in the U.S., and by audiences in Haiti, France and elsewhere? And why has it fallen into obscurity?Less

The Race Today Collective occupied a unique position on the British left during the 1980s. Inspired by the example of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the thought of radicals such as CLR James and Walter Rodney, and drawing activists from radical organisations such as the Black Panthers and the Black Unity and Freedom Party, the Race Today Collective became the most influential black rights group in Britain in the 1980s. Centred around a magazine, Darcus Howe and the Collective organised some of the most important grassroots campaigns of the decade, bringing black power to housing, industry, policing and the arts. This chapter considers the group's emergence in the 1970s, the intellectual foundations on which the Collective was built, its distinctive approach to campaigning, its relationship to various 'white left' groups, and the different aspects of its work during the 1980s.Less

This chapter focuses on the New York City Teachers Union's (TU) campaigns to eliminate racist and bigoted textbooks from classrooms, hire more black teachers, and promote Black History Month. By the end of 1950 the TU was in the worst position in its forty-four-year history. Because of the Timone Resolution, it could no longer operate as a collective bargaining agency for New York City public school teachers; it could not represent faculty in grievances or hold meetings in the public school buildings. Moreover, the New York City Board of Education's purge of TU members was ongoing. Despite its inability to represent teachers officially, the TU did not fold in 1950. Its story after 1950 throws into question the argument that popular front unionism in New York City was eradicated during the civil rights struggles of the cold war period. This chapter examines how the TU remade itself into a leading voice in New York City's civil rights movement by challenging the New York City Board of Education's discriminatory policies.Less

On 23 February 1820 a group of radicals were arrested in Cato Street off the Edgware Road in London. They were within 60 minutes of setting out to assassinate the British cabinet. Five of the conspirators were subsequently executed and another five were transported for life to Australia. The plotters were a mixture of English, Scottish and Irish tradesmen, and one was a black Jamaican. They were motivated by a desire to avenge the 'Peterloo' massacre and intended to declare a republic, which they believed would encourage popular risings in London and across Britain. This volume of essays uses contemporary reports by Home Office spies and informers to assess the seriousness of the conspiracy. It traces the practical and intellectual origins of the plotters' willingness to use violence; describes the links between Irish and British radicals who were willing to take up arms; makes a contribution to early black history in Britain; examines the European context to events, and follows the lives and careers of those plotters exiled to Australia. These well-written essays will find an appreciative audience among undergraduates, graduate students and scholars of British and Irish history and literature. The book will be of interest to those interested in black history, as well as the related fields of intelligence history and Strategic Studies. A significant contribution to our understanding of a particularly turbulent period of British history.Less

The conclusion begins by examining the public honors that Davis received late in his career and after he passed away. Notable among these were his election to membership in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences as the first scholar from the field of education, and his placement on a stamp by the United States Postal Service for Black History Month in 1994. The public response to Davis revealed the contradictions of a society that could simultaneously become more open racially and yet still fail to address the persistent race and class inequalities that Davis spent his life enumerating. Right up to the very end, in fact, Davis was writing and speaking out. Only a few months before he died, he published Leadership, Love, and Aggression (1983), which included psycho-biographies of Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois, Richard Wright, Martin Luther King, Jr. Davis's work makes clear that the only way to truly honor him is to try to live up to his ideas by working towards a more democratic and egalitarian society. The conclusion ends with a discussion of Davis's present significance not only for the historiography, but also for understanding the world today.Less

We've been having lots of fun this week with some gorgeous Maxville Wooden Building Blocks from Find Me A Gift. The Maxville Wooden Building Blocks Set make a great gift for children aged 10 months and above. Ryan is now three and has been having great fun building with these. This set contains 30 colourful wooden blocks which are all different shapes and sizes. They are covered in bold patterns, with some featuring faces, legs and arms too!
The fun shaped blocks and bright colours will visually stimulate and encourage young minds to construct and create their own buildings and characters. They can stack them up (and knock them down!), learn all about different shapes, and angles, how to piece them together to create a structure (even if it's just a simple tower), all of which aids hand and eye coordination.
This terrific Wooden Blocks Set is both engaging and educational and would make a wonderful learning toy for little boys and girls.
They're a really lovely set of bricks, they take building to a whole new level.
The bricks are nice and chunky, perfect for little hands. The bright colors and patterns make them very attractive and really grab your attention. They blocks are solid and made really well, they should last a long time. There's hours of fun to be had with these and because they're made so well, they're perfect for playing with inside or out.
This set of Maxville Wooden Building Blocks costs £29.99 but for the quality you get I think they're worth every penny. They were meant to be for Ryan to play with but all three of my children have had fun playing with these. They're a great way to make learning fun, everyone loves to build. I'm very pleased to give these a lovely 4/5, we all adore them.
They look beautiful. I like well made toys like these.

Number Of Elections Won By Each Australian Prime Minister
As of 2022, there have been 47 federal elections in Australia.
Sir Robert Menzies holds the record for the greatest number of election victories – eight – during his two terms as prime minister.
Two other prime ministers – Bob Hawke and John Howard – each won four elections.
Two prime ministers – Malcolm Fraser and Joseph Lyons – each won three elections in their own right.
Five prime ministers – Alfred Deakin, Andrew Fisher, William Morris Hughes, Stanley Bruce and Gough Whitlam – each won two elections in their own right.
Single elections have been won by fourteen prime ministers: Edmund Barton, Joseph Cook, James Scullin, John Curtin, Ben Chifley, Harold Holt, John Gorton, Paul Keating, Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull, Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese
Seven prime ministers – George Reid, Chris Watson, Arthur Fadden, Earle Page, John McEwen, Frank Forde and William McMahon – failed to win a single election. Of these, only McMahon served more than a year and faced the electorate as prime minister, whilst Reid and Fadden faced the electorate as opposition leader. Page, Forde and McEwen were stop-gap prime ministers who filled the position after the deaths of the previous incumbents. Watson briefly held the prime ministership and faced the electorate as leader of the ALP.
Twelve crucial victories were achieved by ten prime ministers who took their parties from opposition into government at an election: Fisher (1910, 1914), Cook (1913), Scullin (1929), Lyons (1931), Menzies (1949), Whitlam (1972), Hawke (1983), Howard (1996), Rudd (2007), Abbott (2013) and Albanese (2022). Malcolm Fraser (1975) could be added to the list, but he had already become prime minister, courtesy of vice-regal intervention. In addition, the landslide victories of Billy Hughes (1917) and John Curtin (1943) were achieved after they had already become prime minister as a result of realignments in the House of Representatives.
The tables below show the number of elections won and lost by Australian prime ministers. Losses are only shown if the leader was Prime Minister or Leader of the Opposition at the time of the election.
Note: * For the purposes of these tables, I have given "victory" in the 1922 election to Stanley Melbourne Bruce, on the basis that he became prime minister after the election. William Morris Hughes was the Nationalist Party PM going into the election. The party lost its majority and had to form a coalition with the Country Party to remain in power. The Country Party demanded Hughes' resignation as their price for entering into a coalition agreement. Hughes resigned and Bruce was elected leader of the Nationalists and became prime minister. Accordingly, Hughes and Bruce each won two elections in their own right, with Bruce being the beneficiary of the 1922 election.

Lip print readings are a fun compliment to any occasion—a tasty and interesting side dish of sorts that often ends up being the main attraction. Jilly recommends Lipsology as a great icebreaker and conversation starter for groups of all sizes and ages.
It's not unusual to see Jilly down on one knee at a Bat Mitzvah or Mother's Day Brunch conversing with a 5-year-olds about their artistic talents and great sense of humor. Or, cheek-to-cheek at a fundraiser or birthday party with a Navy Commander or CEO revealing their outstanding leadership qualities without ever knowing their rank or position.
Lip print readings are often done at cocktail receptions, holiday celebrations, product launches, anniversaries, customer appreciation parties and more. For a list of ideas, check out the event list.
Please contact Jilly for a complimentary consultation and price quote.
