On his second reading tour to America in 1952, the only visit he made with his wife Caitlin along too, Dylan Thomas revisited Chicago to give a reading for Poetry Magazine. He had read at the University on his first tour and told John Malcolm Brinnin, his unofficial 'tour manager',that it was the only mid-West town he wanted to revisit, although in letter to the poet John Nimms [1] he included Chicago in a list of things and places that frightened him.
His Hostess for the visit was a local grandee, Ellen Borden Stevenson the former wife of the politician Adlai Stevenson [and the woman who would make a generous offer to pay for the best independent specialists to be brought in when Dylan lay dying in St. Vincent's Hospital in New York, a little over a year later].
Ellen had arranged for one of Dylan's favourite American authors, Nelson Algren to come and join them. Algren's novel The Man with theGolden Arm had won the first National Book Award in 1950.
The meeting went well enough but Algren was moved to comment on the drinking of both Caitlin, who he thought had a real problem and was to be pitied, and Dylan of whom he remarked,
" I was neither poet nor lush enough to appreciate him fully. You have to feel a certain desperation about everything either to write like that or to drink like that."
In a later interview Algren was asked about his own anger and innocence, and replied,
"'Oh I don't go around being angry….as for innocence I think it is a very lucky thing if its an achieved innocence, if it's something that happens to you. I think Dylan Thomas was an innocent. You have to go through the world to get that sort of innocence."
But it was in a short review of John Malcolm Brinnin's 'Dylan Thomas in America', which Algren wrote for the Chicago Sun Times in 1956, that he is at his most interesting and amusing and it is worth quoting at length,
" This reviewers goods being prose, I was not intimately acquainted with the product being handled by the poetry trade in the fall of 1951. I felt myself on more solid ground in discussing beer than the avant garde.
My first concern, therefore, in meeting Dylan and Caitlin Thomas was to limit the the conversation to the virtues of local brands of malt and hops. Discoursing quietly yet commandingly – I had at that time a certain nasal quality that was not without its own peculiar charm –I advised my guests of my work with Michelob, Budweiser, Edelweiss and Schlitz.
I would have done better to stick to poetry. Thomas' own studies had been extended to Persian, Icelandic, Manx, Mexican, Frisian, Turkish and Moorish beers. He was a philosopher of beer, a prophet of beer, a John Foster Dulles of beer. [2]
Outclassed, I made one last weak try. "Anyhow," I told him, "I once knew a man named Champagne who drunk nothing but beer."
"I knew a man named Beers who drank nothing but champagne," Thomas assured me,
I decided I liked him whatever his trade, and we went off in search of either beer or champagne. We found both."
Algren also offers a more serious and poignant judgement.
"Before he died it was at last borne in upon me that I had been greatly privileged.
I had been with a great man, the only great man I had ever Known. "
It is interesting to note that just a few nights later, and back in NYC, Dylan was to have his only meeting with Alan Ginsberg – from a proto beat in Chicagoto the real thing in New York in just a few days!
[1]It seems a shame not to quote the start of this letter:
Remember me? Round, red, robustly raddled, a bulging apple among poets, hard as nails made of cream cheese, gap-toothed, balding, noisome, a great collector of dust and a magnet for moths, mad for beer, frightened of priests, women, Chicago, writers, distance, time, children, geese, death, in love, frightened of love, liable to drip.
[2] John Foster Dulles : an opinionated political polymath.(.February 25, 1888 – May 24, 1959) served as U.S. Secretary of State under President Dwight D. Eisenhower from 1953 to 1959. He was a significant figure in the early Cold War era, advocating an aggressive stance against communism throughout the world. He advocated support of the French in their war against the Viet Minh in Indochina and it is widely believed that he refused to shake the hand of Zhou Enlai at the Geneva Conference in 1954. He also played a major role in the Central Intelligence Agency operations. However more recently Gil Scott Heron commented "John Foster Dulles ain't nothing but the name of an airport now"

Feedback Amplifier Transistor Oscillator
Feedback Amplifier Transistor ...
Principle of Operation of Oscillator
Electronic devices function on a tank circuit to enable the sharing of information, generally, an amplifier with a sinusoidal input attains an amplified output signal. In a feedback amplifier and transistor oscillator, the oscillator generates an amplified output signal without any intake of input signals. The working of an oscillator is a repetitive process with the amplified input and output resulting in feedback with persistent operations. This ensures the transmission of information signal back and forth in an electronic device without any interval.
This infers a single input lead with endless outputs based on the feedback and frequency regulated, the external signal delivers an alternating current which is self-sustainable.
(Image to be added soon)
Types of Feedback Amplifiers
In the working of an oscillator, feedback refers to the ability of the output signal to return to the input. There are 2 types of feedback amplifiers:
1. Positive Feedback Amplifier
As shown in the image, Vin is the input signal sourced through the transistor to Vout is the output, further, the succeeding network formed with the sourcing of Vout back to Vin is positive feedback indicated with Vf in the figure. These positive feedback amplifiers are utilized for oscillations.
2. Negative Feedback Amplifier
On the contrary, a negative feedback amplifier indicates the incapacity of the (Vout) output signal to return to the (Vin) input signal.
Types of Transistor Oscillators and Functions
Let's quickly take a look at some types of transistor oscillators and how they function.
1. Working of Colpitts oscillator
A variation of an oscillator tank circuit formed with 2 capacitors and 1 inductor. Its connectivity can be achieved in series allowing the inductor to be placed in a parallel position to the capacitors.
The working of the Colpitt oscillator was invented in 1918 and named after scientist Edwin Colpitts. As compared to the working principle of the Hartley oscillator, it stimulates preferable frequency stability.
2. Working principle of Hartley Oscillator
Hartley Oscillator is a tank circuit composing 2 inductors and one capacitor. The inductors are linked in combining series whereas the capacitor is positioned parallel to the series of inductors. Discovered in the year 1915 and named after an American scientist Ralph Hartley. It generally operates with frequencies ranging from 20 kHz to 20MHz.
3. Working of Wien Bridge Oscillator
Wein bridge oscillator is a bridge circuit formed with 4 resistors and 2 capacitors. It produces sine waves with largely ranging frequencies. Working of Wien bridge oscillator was formulated and named after Max Wein in the year 1891 for measuring impedances.
Now that we have analyzed and understood the functioning of feedback amplifier and transistor oscillator, we've comprehended the functioning of varied oscillations like the working of Colpitts oscillator, working principle of Hartley oscillator, and working of Wien bridge oscillator.
One of the factors that remain constant is the positive feedback gained to achieve repetitively and long-term processing of signals.

Solved Example
In an Oscillator Working Principle, What is Positive Feedback?
Answer- Positive feedback adopted in the working of an oscillator stimulates an output frequency without the implementation of any input. Positive feedback boosts the output signal by charging a quicker and higher signal in the direction of the input. It functions in a loop permitting continuous and undamped oscillations. Following the principle 'more produces more' it is utilized in procedures like fruit ripening and contractions in childbirth. Amplification in an oscillator only administers with positive feedback as it feeds the output signal back to the input to model it to be in phase, further the feedback and input enhance the amplifier.
A classic based on feedback control theories published in 1868 was the first-ever written theory relating to feedback by James Clerk Maxwell as a popular paper named 'On governors'.
The verbal application of the word 'feedback' was implemented in the US in the 1860s, however, the official usage of the word 'feedback' as a noun was witnessed in the year 1909 by Nobel laureate Karl Ferdinand Braun referring to bonding of the elements in an electronic circuit.
Working Principle of the Hartley Oscillator Is Most Commonly Utilized in ________?
Radio Transmitters
The answer to the question would be option B: Radio Receivers.
Explanation: The Hartley Oscillator layout with a tank tuned circuit has a Radio Frequency coil with sustaining fractions of signal from the output to the transistors, it enhances the execution of the radio receivers with transitions in frequency. Hartley oscillators are generally used in superheterodyne receivers like a radio receiver and many other circuits facilitating communication like modems, atomic clocks, radio telescopes, operation of telephone trunk lines, cable tv setup boxes, and much more.
2. Which is an Active Device in an LC Transistor Oscillator?
Biasing Circuit
LC Tank Circuit
The answer to the question would be option B: Transistor.
Explanation- In an LC transistor circuit, the transistor taps DC inputs (voltages) received are transmitted to AC outputs (waves). An inductor and capacitor body is used for boosting sustained oscillations, generally used in tunes, RF modulators, sine wave generators with the transistor playing an active role in the oscillation procedure. Varied oscillations process in a similar pattern, with the transistor aiding along with continuous and undamped of desired frequencies as long as the tank circuit is efficiently connected.

ATLANTA (AP) -- The federal investigators looking into the breach that exposed personal information maintained by the Equifax credit report company are used to dealing with high-profile hacks and the challenges they present.
The U.S. attorney's office and FBI in Atlanta have prosecuted developers and promoters of the SpyEye and Citadel malware toolkits, used to infect computers and steal banking information. They've helped prosecute a hack into Scottrade and ETrade that was part of an identity theft scheme, and aided the international effort that in July shut down AlphaBay, the world's largest online criminal marketplace.
The U.S. Attorney's office has confirmed that, along with the FBI, it is investigating the breach at Atlanta-based Equifax, which the company said lasted from mid-May to July and exposed the data of 145 million Americans. Neither agency would discuss Equifax, but their cybercrime teams shared insights about the difficulties of cybercrime cases.
"They are challenging, and the success stories are rare," said prosecutor Steven Grimberg, who leads the Atlanta U.S. attorney's office cybercrime unit, created last year to fight the growing threat. For every conviction there may be 10 times as many that don't end successfully, he said.
Identifying who's responsible is a key difficulty: Cybercriminals use aliases and operate on the dark web, in corners of the internet reached using special software, where access is invite-only.
Investigators have infiltrated some of these online forums and can sometimes engage cybercriminals there, said FBI Supervisory Special Agent Chad Hunt, who oversees one of FBI Atlanta's cyber investigation squads. Once they obtain some information, they can use search warrants to get other data, such as business records or credit card transactions, to match the online alias to a real person.
Even extremely sophisticated cybercriminals sometimes slip up or collaborate with someone who's less careful, Hunt said.
"If we're looking at somebody for a while, eventually they'll make a mistake," he said. "So even if they are using high-quality encryption, eventually they'll do something stupid."
Even when a cybercriminal's identity is pinpointed, arrests can take time. Many operate in countries that won't extradite to the U.S. But the FBI continues monitoring these suspects and can catch them if they travel, said Assistant Special Agent in Charge Ricardo Grave de Peralta, who oversees the Atlanta office's cyber investigation squads.
"A lot of these people are in places that aren't so great and they like to go on vacation, and we're happy to meet them in a third location and perhaps bring them to a second vacation here in the United States, all expenses paid," he said with a smile.
Prosecutors ask for sentences tough enough to send a warning to others, and to discourage the person from returning to cybercrime when they get out. But because cybercriminals are frequently young, have no criminal history and the crimes aren't violent, prosecutors rarely ask for life, Grimberg said.
One hacker involved in SpyEye's development got nine-plus years in prison while another got 15 when sentenced last year, and a Citadel developer got five in July. They weren't ordered to reimburse victims.
That highlights another challenge: Despite financial losses, prosecutors frequently ask judges to find that it is impractical or overly cumbersome to impose restitution. Tracing the affected IP addresses to identify possible victims would be difficult, Grimberg said, and U.S. authorities can't force them to pay once they return to their home countries.
The former head of Equifax told members of Congress last month that the company was cooperating with the FBI and state agencies, but Equifax has suffered at least some of these consequences after failing to repair a known security weakness for months this year. Digital burglars had access to the company's computer systems for 11 weeks before Equifax discovered the hack July 29. The company then waited until Sept. 7 before issuing a public alert, saying they hadn't understood until then just how much information had been stolen.

September 30, 2012 /in Monthly Commentary/by halyard
With economic activity continuing to grow at a low single-digit pace, the Presidential race still too close to call, and the "fiscal cliff" looming, fixed income investor demand for safety continued in September. The flight to safety is most evident in the demand for 3-month U.S. Treasury Bills, which closed the month with a yield-to-maturity below 0.00%.
As we've detailed for several months, business confidence has been shaken by the prospect of the fiscal cliff, and the potential damage it's feared to inflict on economic activity. The monthly survey of manufacturing purchasing managers, an indicator of manufacturing activity, has fallen from levels reached earlier this year. While there is a strong correlation between the index and actual activity, the purchasing managers' survey can be volatile and misleading at times. As such, we've been watching for slowing economic activity to confirm the fall in the index. We began to witness confirmation on several fronts in September. Early in the month, FedEx announced that global shipping had slowed noticeably and informed analysts that earnings per share for the coming quarter would likely fall 10% below previously communicated estimates. Further confirmation of the slowdown in shipping came days later when Norfolk Southern Railroad guided profit expectation sharply lower, albeit for a slightly different reason. While intermodal shipping, the transportation of manufactured goods, slowed from year ago levels, revenue at the rail company also suffered from the dual economic drag of the drought and the collapse in natural gas prices. With the drought, farmers are shipping fewer crops, while the drop in natural gas makes switching from coal to natural gas economically beneficial to those utilities capable of doing so. Both have a detrimental impact on carloads. Also of note, 3M Co. announced mid-month that given the slowing in global growth, management expects organic growth to register in the single digits. Management went on to say that to augment that growth, they expect to make a significant acquisition in the near future. While hardly a precursor to a disappointing earnings season, the preannouncements have caused us to temper our expectations.
In spite of the slowdown in manufacturing there were a number of positive indicators during the month. Probably most surprising was the continued improvement in the housing sector. Existing home sales were reported to have registered at a 4.82 million annualized rate in August, the fastest pace in nearly two years, bringing the inventory to sales ratio 6.1 months. In addition, the median selling price of new homes jumped 17%, the highest annual price increase since August 2007. As the housing market continues to improve, we expect that improvement will ultimately translate into improved consumer sentiment.
Also of note, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its annual revision to previously released payroll reports. On a monthly basis, the BLS revises the previous month's job report as additional data on hiring is collected. However, it takes several months to fully reconcile the data. Rather than re-revise the data multiple times, the BLS simply releases a benchmark revision annually. In the latest revision, released last month, the BLS reported that the U.S. Economy added 386,000 more jobs in the last twelve months than had originally been reported.

Cone Of Shame
Goce Cvetanovski
THE MAKING OF THE CONE OF SHAME VIDEO | Goce Cvetanovski Interview
Cone Of Shame is one of the most dynamic and brutal songs from last year's album Sol Invictus. The aggressive music, the breathy and growling vocal delivery and the dark lyrics all create a sinister mood that harks back to Angel Dust.
So this spine chilling gut buster track obviously needed accompanying visuals of equal calibre. To achieve this Faith No More turned to Macedonian director Goce Cvetanovski.
Goce and Bill Gould had previously worked together on the 2015 animated film The Man Who Wouldn't Die, a macabre tail of one man's struggle to cheat the grim reaper.
The video clip for Cone Of Shame tells the story of double cross, forbidden love and revenge which unfolds in a seedy bar and ends in violent tragedy. A plot that you could easily imagine unfold in a Tarantino crime thriller with a nod to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining as the villain takes an axe to a door in one particularly intense scene.
The wonderful camera angles add to the suspense with deep focus shots and moody smoke clouded lighting.
Highlights of the film include reactions of the bohemian skiffle band (remember the old folks in Sunny Side Up) and the climax when the female lead is on all fours, a cone of shame around her neck as she looks up on the hanging bodies of her co-conspirators. Romance, intrigue, suspense and murder with larger than life characters. A unique and unexpected film which does indeed brings a new dimension to the song.
As always we aim to bring you more. So we contacted the writer and director Goce for extra insight into the making of this video.
Goce Cvetanovski Interview

How did you and Bill Gould come to work together? Did this lead to creating a FNM video?
We met by pure coincidence in a small rock bar in Macedonia, I think it was in 2010. As big FNM fan, I went to express my respect. We exchanged contacts and then had couple of additional beer-drinking meetings in Paris, France. My legs were kind of shaking when I proposed Bill to score the music for my second short animated, "The Man Who Wouldn't Die". He liked the story, accepted and did a great job. It was a wonderful experience. Even then, I was bugging him that if they ever reunite and make a new album, I'd love to do a music video. The first couple of times I was asking about FNM plans he just smiled mysteriously. Then they announced the reunion only for concerts and festivals, and I continued bugging Bill to find out if they were making a new album or not. He never told me a word until the Sol Invictus was officially announced. If I remember right, that night I went out to celebrate what was probably the best news in 2015 for me. The world needs more FNM albums.
How does your experience in animation lend to live action film making?
In fact I started with live action and then progressively realised that my stories are just too expensive to be shot in live action. Need to point out that I don't draw myself, but as a big comic book fan, I started learning about the animation process. So I produced my first short animation in 2009, it was a horror twist of the Hansel and Gretel story. Got hooked up on animation ever since. But I don't like to limit myself with the format. The idea is to tell stories, whether in live action, in animation, or in comics form.
What are your personal experiences of FNM?
A part from being one of the most influential music bands ever? Well, I'm a big fan, that's for sure. In high-school I had a band and we played original music, but in our garage every night we'd cover 5-6 FNM songs to get us in the mood (f*cking difficult music to play, hey). One of my best friends tells me that in high-school one of my biggest wishes was to make a FNM music video. Here's a proof that childhood dreams can become reality, with a lot of hard work and a bit of luck. Oh, and also – when King for a Day... came out, I took a 5 hour bus to Greece to buy me a T-shirt and the original CD.
The video has nods to some of the great crime thriller directors. What influences did you draw from?
We had a lot of films and directors in the "reference folder". You will immediately see Kubrick's "Shining" influence in there, but there's also a lot of Sergio Leone and Sam Peckinpah influenced shots for the western ambient, a bit of Tarantino and Cohen Brothers in the plot and the action scenes, and of course David Lynch for the love scene (Wild at Heart).
Where did you find the actors?
They are all professional actors from Macedonia. The male roles were cast immediately, I knew right away which actors would play. For the girl part it was trickier. We were developing the script for a long time, and there were three actresses in play. Depending on which version of the script was to be approved by the band, there would've been a different actress playing. I think we made the right choice both for the script and the actress.
When listening to 'Cone Of Shame' prior to making the video did scenes play out in your minds eye?
My first impressions were more horror-like. Lyrics like "I like to peel your skin off, strip the bones off," etc, gave me images of some cannibalistic druid kind of ceremony. But after talking with Bill, he explained me that the song is more about a love gone wrong, wrong decisions and jealousy. We also discussed the spaghetti western ambient of the music, if you listen carefully you'll find a bit of Ennio Moriccone influence in the guitar. The story developed from there and I was listening the track in loop for days, while working on the script.
Do you think music videos such as these, that have a plot and actors, add another dimension to the song. Unlike videos of simply the band performance?
Definitely. There is another energy in live performance, but that energy is difficult to be captured on image. You have to be there and feel it. I'm honoured and very happy that FNM gave me their trust and support about doing the video for "Cone of Shame". It was a creative collaboration and they didn't push me at all with deadlines – the only focus was that the final result is on the top level. The entire crew gave their best, all the main creative members of the team are FNM fans, so we put all our soul and energy into making it the best we can. This enthusiasm got transferred to everyone, and it was one of the best shootings ever. My only regret is that they didn't want to be part of the video – they would've been perfect guests in the tavern scene.
How do you feel your videos sits with the FNM back catalogue?
Well, it's very different from their previous videos, but that's the FNM spirit, to always surprise you and slap you when you try to categorise their work.
It's pretty sure that nobody expected this kind of video and that a lot of people will not like it, since it's a story with a strong statement and not the usual popcorn videos that we're served lately.
Faith No More were involved in the production of the video. What part did they play?
Well, they sent a big check haha. In fact, the involvement of the band was there from the very beginning. Bill suggested that I think about a story for this particular track. I proposed couple of different variations. The guys liked the story that I referred as "Bonny and Clyde", and then we went on working on that. I only had direct contact with Bill, who sent me from time to time the impressions and suggestions of the other guys. It was very exciting period for me, I really felt like being a member of the band, loved every critique and every suggestion.
Are their any more similar projects for you in the future?
I sure hope so! If FNM make another album, I'll be bugging them again for another video. Otherwise, next year we're starting the production of the first Macedonian animated feature, "John Vardar vs the Galaxy". It's a Star Wars / Star Trek parody and I'm having a blast working on it.

According to the Bureau of Statistics consumer price index, prices in 2010 are 3,332.14% higher than average prices throughout 1927. The dollar experienced an average inflation rate of 4.35% per year during this period, meaning the real value of a dollar decreased.
In other words, AU$100 in 1927 is equivalent in purchasing power to about AU$3,432.14 in 2010, a difference of AU$3,332.14 over 83 years.
The 1927 inflation rate was -3.45%. The inflation rate in 2010 was 2.89%. The 2010 inflation rate is higher compared to the average inflation rate of 1.99% per year between 2010 and 2019.
This chart shows calculation of buying power equivalence, often referred to as "the value of a dollar" over time for AU$100 in 1927 (price index tracking began in 1922).
AU$100 in 1927 has the same "purchasing power" or "buying power" as AU$3,432.14 in 2010.

More evidence that physical media still has plenty of life.
Even though researchers generally agree that older generations (30+) have become accustomed to physical media and are more likely continue using it. It's also a common belief that the younger generations, especially children will become accustomed to maintaining content in a digital realm. But current research has shown that not to be the case.
New research from The NPD Group found that 79 cents of every entertainment dollar spent by kids aged 2 to 14 was used on CDs, movie discs and video games, compared with 21 cents on content downloaded from the Internet. This shows that even when given the option of purchasing and storing digital content, young children are still more interested and comfortable with owning tangible items.
So when people want to pronounce the end of physical media, you'll know that the evidence says differently.
How do you protect your content when the Cloud has a problem?
Apple had a press conference today to announce the release of their latest generation of iPhone – the 4S. But during that conference, they took the opportunity to discuss all of the Apple products with a great deal of emphasis on their "Cloud" computing. Of course this is a great instrument to be able to store any amount or type of digital content that can be accessed from anywhere in the world one has internet access.
But I ask, what happens when the "Cloud" encounters a major storm! Say for instance, there is a glitch that causes information to be accidentally deleted or relocated into someone else's cloud? That brings up the point of security, what if a hacker breaks into the cloud and releases personal or confidential material to the public. Think it can't happen, what about all the cell phones of celebrities that have been hacked and photos leaked to the public? Will there's a will there's way.
The only secure way to store important or sensitive content is on an optical disc. Flash devices like USB can be altered or erased, only optical discs cannot be altered and with the latest archival grade discs on the market now, they can be stored safely for in some cases hundreds of years. So, do you really want to trust your precious memories, confidential information, critical research files, or anything that matters to you, to a cloud or on a disc that gives greater protection and assurance?


IT DOESN'T GET MUCH MORE BRITISH THAN A (NICE) CUP OF TEA.
As a nation we've been drinking hundreds of millions of cups of the stuff every day for decades. And since there doesn't seem to have been the slightest dip in consumption in the last hundred and fifty years or so, it feels strange to say that tea is making something of a comeback.
Although we drink significantly more tea than coffee overall — something like 165 million cups of tea per day, versus around 70 million cups of coffee — it's an odd quirk that more cups of coffee are sold on the high street than tea.
But a new wave of businesses is opening in the hope of changing all that — boutique tea-rooms are on the up as we rediscover the ceremony and variety of tea. Tea rooms have increased nine per cent on last year to reflect our growing taste for a high-end experience (Simply Business 2012), all because we've started to remember that there's more to our national drink than pyramid bags and semi-skimmed milk.
And why not? Tea is fantastically good for you. It has chemicals that help with relaxation; those that fight tooth decay; and three cups of tea have the equivalent antioxidant value of eating six apples. In fact our penchant for a good cuppa means that the flavanoids in black tea are the number one source of antioxidants in the British diet.
Tea is also great for brainpower. Theanine (an amino acid found in green tea) increases brainwave activity and promotes relaxation. And l-theanine and caffeine, when working together, have been shown to deliver unique cognitive benefits. All of which are great for our health, and great for productivity in the work place.
Drinking tea at work should be encouraged — in fact it seems like a bit of a win-win for organisations and their employees alike. A better hydrated, more relaxed and energetic workforce can only be a good thing, so encourage your staff to head to the kettle or restaurant for a cup of something hot and healthy.

The strategic location of the Pump Station and its history, scream for a need of a public space that creates a dialogue between the University and the City of Albuquerque. The Pump Station was built in the early 1930's by the City of Albuquerque as a building to house the pump equipment for the large water reservoir. Both were purchased by UNM in 1990, with the reservoir being recently demolished by the Physics and Astronomy Interdisciplinary Studies (PAIS) breaking ground this year, the preservation of the Pump Station has become increasingly important while it has remained underused and forgetting the importance, it once held to both the city and the university. By allowing the preservation of the Pump Station while using the (PAIS) interdisciplinary model and the stations location, Yale Park, a place of rally and social-political engagement during the 1970's, adaptation and reuse of the space can be used for integrative and interactive expressions. The project scope is to create a typical "People's" plaza to foster dialogue and communication, and to allow interdisciplinary acts to share opinion and vision. A stage for poetry reading, simple spontaneous dance performances, visual mapping, film, guitar playing, an interactive place to voice an opinion with different languages which is open to academia and public realms. A proposal for the Pump Station reuse would entail a coffee shop or dining area to help encourage all form of social engagement, as well as a dual theater stage as an outside historically filled space intended to face the City. By allowing a direct interaction between the University and the city, a more integrated space would become available, effectively giving the importance the Pump Station and Yale Park has garnered over the decades as an integral part of the University and the City of Albuquerque.

The fight for safe staffing is vital to the senior nurse role, says Susan Osborne.
A newly registered nurse recently told me she was in charge of 30 acute stroke patients on a night shift, with just one other nurse and two healthcare assistants. Another nurse said that inadequate staffing on her ward means she regularly takes her lunch break at 3pm, despite starting her shift at 7.30am.


that's exactly what they pursued, a great understanding of treatment, drug and substance use disorder policy, and people in recovery. Over the course of the week, they met with the DEA, advocacy groups, and an author for insight. Samaritan Inns was privileged to be one of the stops along the way.
As an organization that has served DC since 1985, we taught the students about lessons we have learned over the years, as well as the changes in the political and social environment in which we serve. After that orientation, the students got to work, beautifying the yard of Elisha House, one of our Affordable Housing Communities, and making lunch for the clients in our Adult Treatment Program.
The day was certainly a success, not only making our communities more welcoming but also, through a delicious lunch and fellowship, provided a midweek pick-me-up and brought joy to our clients, all of who loved the food and the company! We are grateful to our volunteers, both locally and across the country, who invest their time in our programs and in our clients. Even the smallest gestures can go a long ways.
Princeton, thank you for your service. You are welcome back any time!


I was offered to review the French Women Don't Get Fat cookbook by Mireille Guiliano. I love doing review for new cookbooks, it gives me new ideas for recipes for my family and I like sharing them with you!
After redefining the very notion of a "diet book" with her mega-bestselling French Women Don't Get Fat, Mireille Guiliano now offers her first cookbook ever—a complete set of her mouthwatering, simply prepared recipes that are the cornerstone of her philosophy on living life well.
The former CEO of Clicquot, Inc, Mireille believes eating should be a pleasurable—even sensual—experience and that you shouldn't have to spend hours in the kitchen creating complicated recipes. Organized around Mireille's self-proclaimed three favorite pastimes, Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, THE FRENCH WOMEN DON'T GET FAT COOKBOOK is replete with recipes that center on the pure flavors of quality ingredients that result in meals that are highly satisfying with minimum stress and effort (and no unwanted fat).
I decided to make her Chicken En Croûte Fiona Style and Milk Jam.
This chicken is not wrapped in pastry as En Croûte means, but is encrusted in a citrus with Parmesan and fresh herb mixture. I guess that's the Fiona style? Let me tell you, this smelled SO good baking! All that citrus and fresh herbs, Mmm! The recipe is fairly simple and bakes in just 20 minutes! I really liked it and think it's be fabulous on top a salad. Everyone else said they liked it and said Yes I should make it again (but I think I'll cut the lemon/herb amounts in half, they were a tiny bit overpowering). I call this fancy restaurant-company worthy chicken. I looked through her whole book and decided upon this recipe, so glad I did!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside.
In shallow bowl or pie plate, combine zests, garlic, parsley, rosemary, Parmesan and olive oil and season to taste. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt.
Dip each chicken breast in the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and then dip in the citrus-herb-Parmesan mixture, pressing to lightly coat each side. Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is done.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately with lemon slices and a green salad.
I also made her Milk Jam recipe which is basically a dulce de leche spread. This did not turn out for me. It hardened quickly and became crystallized and wasn't easy to spread.
I wrote this review for "Mommy? I'm Hungry!" about French Women Don't Get Fat. I received free product to keep for this review. All opinions for this review are that of myself & family. Product info & stock images provided by PR.
Wow, that looks absolutely delicious! thanks for including the recipe! I think I may have to pick that up. It's only $16.49 on Amazon, def not a bad price for a cookbook!

Tabloid Edition: Stiglitz and the Strawman.
This is remarkable primarily for the fact that it's coming from the pen of a Nobel laureate. And not just any Nobel laureate—if you see someone walking around with a Nobel Peace Prize around his neck, you kind of expect this sort of thing—but a real, live winner of the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
What Dr. Stiglitz is describing is not a hypothetical perfect market economist, but a government shill trying to explain why it's okay for Congress to spend vast quantities of money it doesn't have. To suggest that a perfect market economist would ever take such an absurd position is unfair, and an insult to strawmen everywhere.
Since this is the actual view of Robert Barro (and formed the basis of the Lawson Doctrine that because the UK's current account deficits of the 1980s were the result of private consumption rather than government dissaving they were "benign and self-correcting"), I think that the conclusion is entirely unfair to Stiglitz. In fact, if you don't believe the position that Stiglitz describes, then you believe that there is a fairly serious failure in the savings market, and I don't understand what sense you would be a "perfect markets economist".
So in other words, Stiglitz is describing an entirely theoretically consistent position which is actually held by influential people in the real world. Of course it's not a strawman.
Government deficits are entirely different from current account deficits, and Stiglitz was specifically talking about government deficits. It's entirely possible that there's some nut out there who would agree with the position Stiglitz is describing. Possibly a very influential nut--their stock has been rising recently. But I didn't say there wasn't.
1. I don't think any economist actually believes in perfect markets. Certainly the arguments for free markets are not contingent on assumptions of perfect markets.
2. The position which Stiglitz is describing is not one which follows from perfect-market assumptions.

Cringe-worthy, but kept me glued like a car crash. Come on, this movie has two of the most calamitous things film-makers have ever tried to capture: soccer, and disguises. All that's missing is an instant messaging scene!

Bynes is kind of hot. Mostly an excuse to capitalize on hot people running around getting into sexy situations. Who can complain?

Somewhat painful at times, but I'm a guy and it's a chick flick. She does a good job of acting like a guy in some parts (mannerisms, et al). But she keeps lapsing into a Southern Drawl and harumphing when attempting to emulate a male voice, which is amusing at best.

I was surprised at how much I didn't hate Amanda Bynes in it. Under no circumstances should you seek it out, but it's better than, say, watching Two and a Half Men for the same length as the running time.

The distributional effect of the rice policy in Japan, 1986-2010
Daisuke Takahashi*
This study aims to evaluate the distributional effect of the governmental rice policy in Japan on producers, consumers, and government expenditures from 1986 to 2010 using a partial equilibrium model. Policy measures include government purchase of rice, output payment, and acreage control. The simulation result shows that acreage control has been the principal policy measure for transferring income to producers, especially since the enforcement of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture. Acreage control is the policy measure with the lowest total efficiency and highest budgetary efficiency. This result implies that the government's goal of transferring income to producers with minimum government cost has been achieved through a combination of policy measures.

The Low Cost of Cancer
Aug 10, 2017 | Blog, GenX Chronicles | 1 comment
While federal and state officials spent this week in Wilmington, NC, trying to clean up the mess that DuPont has made of the Cape Fear River, the chemical giant was quietly paying off cancer victims in a community that it hit even harder.
According to details of a confidential settlement made public this week, residents of the Mid-Ohio Valley who were exposed to a toxic compound that DuPont released into their water have agreed to settlements ranging from $1.35 million to $1,500.
The class action case was filed to help 3,550 residents who live near DuPont's Washington Works plant in Parkersburg, West Virginia, recoup medical costs related to a perfluorinated acid called C8. The synthetic compound has been linked to a host of cancers. DuPont agreed to a $670 million settlement in February after loosing three jury trials brought by residents who were affected by its release into the Ohio River.
C8 is a relative of C6, otherwise known as GenX, which officials are racing to remove from the Cape Fear River. While C8 has been extensively studied, comparatively little is known about the long-term effects of exposure to Gen X.
This week, Gov. Roy Cooper announced he is seeking $2.6 million to assess the damage from the dumping, which DuPont officials concede has gone on for 35 years. The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority also announced it is earmarking $500,000 to pump out 48 million gallons of tainted river water.
In perhaps the most far reaching action, federal prosecutors issued subpoenas to the state Department of Environmental Quality this month in an effort to learn who knew what and when.
What's instructive about the West Virginia settlement is how it monetizes the carcinogenic effects of C8, which, like Gen X, is used in the manufacture of Teflon. DuPont agreed to pay $1.35 million for what it calls a "base case" of testicular cancer. That figure rises by as much as $250,000 if a patient had chemotherapy, or eventually died. The same figure is being used for those with kidney cancer.
The reporter who obtained the confidential document, Callie Lyons, says she was surprised by how low the overall dollar amounts seem to be. Lyons, who wrote about C8 in her book, Stain-Resistant, Nonstick, Waterproof and Lethal, argues, "After you deduct lawyer fees, $700,000 isn't a lot for someone dealing with cancer."
She also found herself surpised at the disparity between categories. Members of the class who were diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, for instance, are only eligible for a base award of up to $22,000 — and that's only if they have medical records to verify the diagnosis. If they don't, the amount drops to as low as $10,000.
Plaintiffs with medically diagnosed high cholesterol top out at the same $10,000, while anyone who filed a personal injury claim without having medical records has to settle for $1,500.
Those who agree to take DuPont's money must also release the company and its spin-off, Chemours, from future liability. Chemours owns the plant in Fayetteville, NC, that has been discharging C6/Gen X into the Cape Fear River.
Lyons revealed the details of the settlement in her River City News Network blog, and says that no one from DuPont or any of the attorneys involved have disputed the report. The only email says she's received came from a lawyer who asked her to take down her post out of concern that "a breach of the confidentiality could provide DuPont cause to renege on the settlement."
Lyons declined. "I see the people who are suffering every day here in Parkersburg," she told me. "I want everyone to know the dollar value that DuPont puts on their conditions. That's what they think you are worth."
For those who believe, as Lyons does, that DuPont cynically ignored the risks of dumping toxic chemicals in public waters, valuing kidney cancer at $700,000 is a hard thing to swallow.

Penang-born Englishman returns to his birthplace

Penang has rights to river without paying Kedah
A young Englishman follows in his parents' faded footsteps hoping to find some personal connection with the land of his birth.
IN 1956, Brian Baird was a young English teacher and, with a tentative interest in starting a new and exciting life away from the austerity of 1950s Belfast with his new wife, Stella, he answered a newspaper advertisement seeking Education Officers for teaching work abroad.
The offer came back with a post in Malaya, recently vacated by one John Wilson who had just left to begin a successful literary career under the pen name of Anthony Burgess, best known for his 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange. My mother had just discovered that she was expecting my elder brother, Stephen, but together they took the brave step in resigning from their jobs at Methodist College, where my mother was the school matron, leaving their families behind and travelling 9656km to a country they had barely heard of and embarking on a lifestyle they couldn't possibly have imagined.
My father's first posting was at Malay College, often called "the Eton of the East", as its pupils included the sons of both the wealthy and well-connected, in the small Malay town of Kuala Kangsar. Following a five-year tenure, he accepted a teaching post on the island of Penang, where I was born, just six months before my parents returned to Belfast in 1963.
The Baird family, at 10H Green Lane, Penang, 1963 – Brian, Stella, Stephen, baby Patric and Paddy the dog.
Obviously I have no memories of my short stay in Malaya – or Malaysia as it is now known. But growing up surrounded by many reminders – such as strange and interesting food prepared from recipes my mother had acquired during her former life, Malay words or phrases used in everyday conversation and my fascination with my parents' black-and-white photographs depicting very exotic-looking people in equally exotic locations – I had always planned to re-visit my birthplace.
With a significant birthday looming, it seemed like the perfect time to plan my return journey. My father died in 1998, but he had returned with my mother to Malaysia for a holiday in 1989, revisiting some of their old haunts. So earlier this year my wife and I set off in search of ghosts from the past, following in my parents' faded footsteps as well as hoping to find some personal connection with the land of my birth.
Unlike my parents' original voyage – which was during the Suez Crisis and involved a five-day flight, stopping to refuel at Düsseldorf, Rome, Istanbul, Baghdad, Basra and Columbo, before reaching Malaya – our journey was a little easier, with a single 13-hour flight from London, direct to Kuala Lumpur.
From our KL city centre hotel room at Trader's by Shangri-La, we had probably one of the world's best views. The magnificent Petronas Twin Towers – which, for a short time, was the tallest building in the world – stood directly in front of our 28th floor window. Situated at the base of the towers is the six-storey Suria KLCC shopping mall, surrounded by an urban sanctuary complete with palm trees and illuminated fountains which, by night, made for a very impressive display.

The day after our arrival, we met up with some of my father's former pupils from Malay College. They are now all in their 70s, but the years fell away as they recounted some fond memories of my parents and stories about their schooldays over lunch at Kuala Lumpur's exclusive Lake Club. The get-together had been arranged by Ariff Shaffie, one of several MC old boys who still exchanges Christmas cards with my mother and who, with his English wife Jo, were kind enough to take us under their wing for the next leg of our Malaysian odyssey.
The couple were in KL for their granddaughter's birthday party and offered to drive us to their home town of Ipoh, about 200km north of KL. It's also where my brother was born and, as it's the largest town close to Malay College, most of my parents' social life was spent there, with the expat community.
At the Royal Ipoh Club, Ariff had arranged for us to spend the night in one of the rooms reserved for members and their guests, and we dined in the club's beautiful colonial-style dining room, as well as had a few drinks at the famous Long Bar, where my mum and dad would almost certainly have enjoyed the odd pink gin.
They certainly enjoyed one of the club's most famous drinks to the extent of bringing the recipe home with them to Belfast, where it became a familiar summer cocktail of my childhood. The Gunner – non-alcoholic, I should add – originated in the colonies during the days of the Empire and is a blend of ginger beer, ginger ale and a dash of Angostura bitters, topped off with a squeeze of lime juice. And it was every bit as good as I had remembered it, with my usual choice of a cold beer not quite measuring up in the refreshment stakes.

The following day, Ariff had arranged for us to visit Malay College, a short drive away in Kuala Kangsar. We were met by the assistant headmaster, who gave us a guided tour of the grounds and buildings, many of which were familiar to me from old photographs of my father with the school's rugby team.
Their house which stood in the school grounds had long since been demolished to make way for sports pitches, but the school's famous Big Tree still stood in front of the main building, both looking just as impressive as they did in my father's photographs taken over half-a-century ago.
Kuala Kangsar is a very pretty town, featuring a mix of colonial and traditional architecture. It's where the very first of Malaya's many millions of rubber trees was planted, still standing on the grounds of the city hall, and other landmarks include Istana Iskandariah – the Sultan of Perak's ornate palace, the gold-topped minarets of the Ubudiah Mosque and the town centre's famous clock tower which serves as one of the most unusual traffic roundabouts I have seen.
From Ipoh we departed for the nearby Cameron Highlands, once a favourite weekend retreat for most of the local ex-pat community during a time before the advent of air-conditioning, and now a popular destination for holidaymakers from all over the world. We spent several nights at the Cameron Highlands Resort hotel near Tanah Rata, an impressive colonial-style building dating from 1938 and the area's most luxurious property.
Due to the high altitude, the air is very much cooler and less humid than at sea-level and also has the perfect climate for the cultivation of tea, with most of the surrounding land owned by the BOH tea company. We took a tour of the factory and were amazed to see most of the original machinery, dating from the 1930s still used in the production of the world-famous tea. What amazed us even more was that the guide informed us that the huge, cast iron tea processing machines, which bore the name "Sirocco", had been manufactured in and transported to the factory from Belfast.
The final leg of our trip – and the most important to me – was to my birthplace of Penang island.
A five-hour bus journey from the Cameron Highlands wasn't as gruelling as I had imagined. The accompanying scenery of verdant forests and jungle was stunning and, as the bus drove across the 13.6km-long bridge into George Town, Penang's capital and a Unesco World Heritage Site since 2008, the sun was just setting behind Penang Hill and I could see the city's lights and buildings beginning to emerge from the humid sea mist.
In the taxi from the bus station on our way to the beach resort of Batu Ferringhi on the island's north coast, we passed by the gates of Penang Free School, close to the site of our old family home, which was now occupied by the huge Masjid Negeri. Just before reaching the hotel, we drove past the resort's busy night market, dodging tourist rickshaws and the patrons of the roadside hawker stalls, selling just about everything from knock-off handbags to fried noodles. While checking in to the Golden Sands hotel, the clerk had noticed Penang as the place of birth stated on my passport. "Welcome home, sir," he remarked casually. "Are you here for business or pleasure?"
Well, I certainly had some outstanding business to take care of. My original Malaysian birth certificate was in imminent danger of crumbling into dust, so I had planned a trip to Penang's office of births, deaths and marriage registration to try and seek a replacement. As duplicates can only be issued in person, an afternoon was spent queuing alongside locals, attempting to fill in numerous forms in Malay and answering questions posed by bemused officials finally achieved the desired result.
Another essential task was a visit to the splendid Eastern & Oriental hotel in George Town where my parents spent their last night before boarding a ship bound for England and leaving their old lives behind; there is an old photograph of me as a baby in my mother's arms taken in the hotel's grounds and I wanted to see the exact spot for myself. The manager was extremely accommodating and my final mission was accomplished.
In a rather reflective mood on my birthday, I took one last walk near the hospital where I was born and, even despite the oppressive mid-afternoon heat, the confusing mix of Malay and English names for streets lined with a surreal juxtaposition of old, crumbling Chinese shop houses, ornate Indian temples and ultra-modern high-rise buildings and with the almost overwhelming smell of incense and pungent aromas from street corner food stalls wafting in my nostrils, I thought to myself, "Penang, it's been a pleasure."

40-Year Study Finds Mysterious Patterns in Temperatures at Jupiter
Jupiter [image credit: NASA]
Unexpected patterns and teleconnections. Some new light is shed on the workings of the solar system's largest planetary atmosphere.
Scientists have completed the longest-ever study tracking temperatures in Jupiter's upper troposphere, the layer of the atmosphere where the giant planet's weather occurs and where its signature colorful striped clouds form, says Subaru Telescope.
The work, conducted over four decades by stitching together data from NASA spacecraft and ground-based telescope observations, found unexpected patterns in how temperatures of Jupiter's belts and zones change over time.
The study is a major step toward a better understanding of what drives weather at our solar system's largest planet and eventually being able to forecast it.
Jupiter's troposphere has a lot in common with Earth's: It's where clouds form and storms churn. To understand this weather activity, scientists need to study certain properties, including wind, pressure, humidity, and temperature.
They have known since NASA's Pioneer 10 and 11 missions in the 1970s that, in general, colder temperatures are associated with Jupiter's lighter and whiter bands (known as zones), while the darker brown-red bands (known as belts) are locations of warmer temperatures.
But there weren't enough data sets to understand how temperatures vary over the long-term. An international research team of planetary scientists from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of NASA, University of Leicester (UK), and other institutes broke new ground by studying images of the bright infrared glow (invisible to the human eye) that rises from warmer regions of the atmosphere (upper troposphere), directly measuring Jupiter's temperatures above the colorful clouds.
The scientists collected these images at regular intervals over three of Jupiter's orbits around the Sun, each of which lasts 12 Earth years.
In the process, they found that Jupiter's temperatures rise and fall following definite periods that aren't tied to the seasons or any other cycles scientists know about. Because Jupiter has weak seasons – the planet is tilted on its axis only 3 degrees, compared to Earth's jaunty 23.5 degrees – scientists didn't expect to find temperatures on Jupiter varying in such regular cycles.
The study also revealed a mysterious connection between temperature shifts in regions thousands of miles apart: As temperatures went up at specific latitudes in the northern hemisphere, they went down at the same latitudes in the southern hemisphere – like a mirror image across the equator.
"That was the most surprising of all," says Glenn Orton, senior research scientist at JPL and lead author of the study. "We found a connection between how the temperatures varied at very distant latitudes. It's similar to a phenomenon we see on Earth, where weather and climate patterns in one region can have a noticeable influence on weather elsewhere, with the patterns of variability seemingly 'teleconnected' across vast distances through the atmosphere."
The next challenge is to find out what causes these cyclical and seemingly synchronized changes.
Nature Astronomy article: Unexpected long-term variability in Jupiter's tropospheric temperatures (2022)
'Here we derive upper-tropospheric (330-mbar) temperatures over 40 years, covering several orbits of Jupiter. Periodicities of 4, 7–9 and 10–14 years were discovered that involve different latitude bands and seem disconnected from seasonal changes in solar heating. Anticorrelations of variability in opposite hemispheres were particularly striking at 16°, 22° and 30° from the equator. Equatorial temperature variations are also anticorrelated with those observed 60–70 km above. Such behaviour suggests a top-down control of equatorial tropospheric temperatures from stratospheric dynamics.'

DOUBLED EFFORTS: While President Trump addressed the joint session of Congress Tuesday night, First Lady Melania Trump caught every last word from the House balcony. CNN reported that she was expected to be joined in the Commander in Chief's designated box by relatives of people who had been killed by undocumented immigrants, in order to underscore one of Trump's key issues.
Taking an understated tack for her husband's first address to a joint session of Congress, the First Lady wore a black embroidered Michael Kors suit with a wide belt from the spring collection.
The suit contrasted with the red dress with a fitted waist and short bell sleeves she wore to answer a few questions for a "Fox & Friends" morning segment that the President led. She also was caught on camera with first daughter Ivanka in the Oval Office when the President signed legislation leading NASA to enhance STEM opportunities for girls and women.
In recent weeks, the First Lady has taken on a more public role on the world's stage. With her chief of staff Lindsay Reynolds and social secretary "Rickie" Niceta Lloyd officially on board in the East Wing, and special adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff always at the ready, Trump is well equipped for any acts of diplomacy, social settings or photo-ops. On Oscar Night while guests at the Dolby Theatre were counting down the minutes until they would be sprung loose for the Governors Ball, the First Lady was back on the East Coast hosting a very different Governors Ball. The black-tie affair for the National Governors Association trumpeted a "spring revival" theme. In keeping with the dress code, the First Lady selected a sleeveless black number and Ivanka Trump opted for a strapless black column dress from J. Mendel. Melania Trump has made a point of wearing an assortment of American designers including Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Alice Roi and Norisol Ferrari.
Ivanka Trump has been trying to do her part, too. While the Beltway newcomer has faced a firestorm of heat from critics despite publicly severing ties with her New York clothing company, she has been stalwart about wearing New York-based labels for first family photo ops.
As for the men at the speech, they all played it safe — the President, Vice President Mike Pence and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan all went for navy suits with white shirts and ties in various shades of blue.
