Cabo de Hornos National Park is a protected area in southern Chile that was designated a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2005, along with Alberto de Agostini National Park. The world's southernmost national park, it is located 12 hours by boat from Puerto Williams in the Cape Horn Archipelago, which belongs to the Commune of Cabo de Hornos in the Antártica Chilena Province of Magallanes y Antártica Chilena Region.

The park was created in 1945 and includes the Wollaston Islands and the Hermite Islands. It covers  and is run by the Corporacion Nacional Forestal (CONAF), the Chilean body that governs all national parks in Chile.

Origins

The region of Cabo de Hornos (Cape Horn) was discovered by the Dutch merchant Isaac Le Maire on January 29, 1616, and was named Hoorn after the Dutch city where the expedition came from. The national park was created on April 26, 1945, by the Chilean Ministry of Agriculture.

Geography

The park covers an area of , at a general altitude of 220 meters, with the exception of two major peaks: Cerro Pirámide, which has an altitude of 406 meters, and Cerro Hyde, the highest point with an altitude of 670 meters. It comprises a series of the islands and islets that make up the archipelago, including the main landmasses of the Wollaston and Hermite Islands.The park is the southernmost piece of Chilean territory, except for the Chilean Antarctic Territory which is in dispute.

Climate

The climate in the park is generally cool, owing to the southern latitude. There are no clearly distinct weather stations, but a study in 1882–1883 found an annual rainfall of , with an average annual temperature of . Winds were reported to average , (5 Bf), with squalls of over , (10 Bf) occurring in all seasons. There are 278 days of rainfall (70 days of snow) and 2000 mm of annual rainfall

Cloud coverage is generally extensive, with averages from 5.2 eighths in May and July to 6.4 eighths in December and January. Precipitation is high throughout the year: the weather station on the nearby Diego Ramirez Islands,  south-west in the Drake Passage, shows the greatest rainfall in March, averaging ; while October, which has the least rainfall, still averages . Wind conditions are generally severe, particularly in winter. In summer, the wind at Cape Horn is gale force up to 5% of the time, with generally good visibility; however, in winter, gale-force winds occur up to 30% of the time, often with poor visibility.

Flora

The terrain is almost entirely treeless peat and its main characteristic is the presence of tuberous vegetable formations covered in low dense  Poaceaes (Gramineae), lichen and mosses that are resistant to the low temperatures and harsh weather. In some parts, small wooded areas of Antarctic beech or nire, lenga, winter's bark or canelo, and Magellanic coigüe can be found.

Fauna

As with the flora, fauna in the park is scarce and many of the species are endangered. The fauna is dominated by birds and maritime mammals. Bird species found on the islands include: Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus),  or red peek penguin, the southern giant petrel (Macronectes giganteus), kelp gull or Dominican gull (Larus dominicanus), red-legged cormorant (Poikilocarbo gaimardi, also known as the red-legged shag, red-footed cormorant, red-footed shag, Gaimard's cormorant or grey cormorant), and southern royal albatross (Diomedea epomophora).

Mammal species found in the park include: marine otter (Lontra felina, known locally as chungungo), leopard seal (Hydrurga leptonyx), Chilean dolphin (Cephalorhynchus eutropia, also known as the black dolphin or tonina), Burmeister's porpoise (Phocoena spinipinnis), Peale's dolphin (Lagenorhynchus australis) and humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae).

Ask the Expert: Practicing Mindfulness in the Startup Environment
Home/Ask the Expert/Ask the Expert: Practicing Mindfulness in the Startup Environment
Published in The New Hampshire Union Leader
By Heather Lavoie
Special to the Union Leader
As a culture we celebrate multitasking, business and being overbooked. We glorify long hours, a lack of sleep and putting every ounce of energy into our jobs, particularly if our job happens to be a startup.
We make ourselves available 24/7. We are over caffeinated and undernourished, mindlessly eating lunch over our keyboards. For those working in a startup, the level of stress can be tremendous and the sound of "speed to market" rings constantly in our ears like a bad case of tinnitus.
For those who have spent enough time on the adrenaline roller coaster, the concepts of pause, contemplation and calm seem antithetical to success. But, in fact, the opposite is true. Subjecting ourselves to a constant state of stress, multitasking and forgoing sleep for greater production is not only bad for our health, it is bad for the bottom line. What a growing number of highly successful entrepreneurs, business leaders, athletes and artists have come to understand is that mindfulness practice directly translates into higher performance.
Before delving into the benefits of a mindfulness practice, let's first understand the physiological and psychological effects of our glorified, habituated work culture:
• Multitasking. In computers, it is the concurrent performance of two programs at the same time. In humans, it's a terrible idea, yet an activity that most of us engage in for most of our waking hours. When we multitask, we get a reinforcing shot of dopamine, but our bodies also automatically increase levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, as we try to manage competing priorities that exact a mental toll.
Each time we switch between tasks, our executive control functions have to turn on, an action that might only take a few tenths of a second each time, but those seconds add up. Researcher David Meyer, Ph.D., reports that "even brief mental blocks created by shifting between tasks can cost as much as 40 percent of someone's productive time."
• Stress. Our bodies react to stress as a perceived physical threat in much of the same way they did in prehistoric times, and we are thrust into fight or flight mode where our senses sharpen, our heart rate increases, our metabolism changes, endorphins are released and our judgment system is turned down so more primitive decision-making can occur.
Stress causes the adrenaline high that startup employees know all too well. Ultimately though, continued and continuous subjection to stress can lead to adrenal gland issues such as constant feelings of fatigue, difficulty sleeping, poor hormone regulation and a diminished ability to metabolize fat and carbohydrates.
• Sleep. During sleep our body restores itself, repairing the damage of the day. It is during this restorative process that the body is able to replenish hormone levels that modulate insulin and appetite, build new neural pathways that help with creativity and problem-solving, and prop up the immune system, in addition to many other important regulatory functions. Consistently getting fewer than seven to eight hours of sleep per night presents in the workplace as poor decision-making and an inability to manage emotional responses.
How mindfulness can help
There is a significant and growing body of science that validates the benefits of meditation. Demonstrable effects include, but are certainly not limited to, a lessening of depression, increase in immunity, improvement in sleep patterns, marked improvement in focus, increase in memory and recall, and a heightened sense of optimism and well-being.
Through the use of functional MRIs, researchers have found that meditators have increased gray matter in the areas of the brain responsible for emotional regulation and response control, learning, memory and attention.
These benefits have a direct mitigating effect on the pervasive workplace culture. Meditators in the workplace find that they are not only better able to manage stress, but that stress is significantly diminished through a new found ability to establish emotional distancing and objectivity. They are better able to make decisions, listen and concentrate, and find that activities take less time than before, with better results.
So it is easy to see why, for those leaders who have found meditation, they credit so much of their personal and professional success to it. They have fundamentally changed their brains, health and work habits for the better.
Mindfulness practice can begin with as little as three to five minutes per day of quiet breathing exercises, practicing concentrating on the breath and letting go of thoughts that enter the mind. It can also start with the help of technology, through the use of apps such as Headspace or 10% Happier. Join us at Alpha Loft on Tuesday to learn more.

Move to extend festive price control scheme succeeds in preventing price hikes
Bernama
June 12, 2019 22:02 pm +08
KUALA LUMPUR (June 12): The Government's move to add six more items in the list and extend the implementation of the Festive Season Maximum Price Control Scheme to 30 days from 15 days previously have succeeded in preventing sudden and steep hikes in the price of consumer goods after Hari Raya Aidilfitiri.
Bernama checks at wet markets and hypermarkets in several States found that consumers were satisfied with the price and described the situation as much better than the previous year.
Most of them also agreed that the prices of controlled items such as standard chicken, fish and vegetables were less burdening even though there was a slight increase, especially in the price of red chilies.
In Johor Bahru, standard chicken is still sold at the price of RM7.50 per kg as set by the Government, while ikan selar is sold at between RM8 and RM9 per kg depending on the size.
Chicken seller, Samsul Jalil, 45, said the ceiling prices of the controlled items set by the Government this year were reasonable and satisfactory, both to the sellers and buyers.
"Alhamdulillah, the controlled price of RM7.50 per kg of standard chicken set by the Government this year is much better and not so burdening compared with previous years. I have not received any complaint of price hike from the customers," he said.
Last month, the Government announced that the scheme launched in conjunction with Aidilfitri this year would be extended to 30 days from the normal 15 days, starting May 21.
Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said this year's scheme also involved six additional items, bringing the total to 27 items.
The additional items included fresh and frozen kembung fish, selar fish and selayang fish, as well as long beans, groundnuts and dried chilli.
In Butterworth, most of the consumers met at the wet market expressed gratitude for the move taken by the Government to prevent traders from increasing the prices at their whim and fancy once the festive season was over.
"Normally, during festive season, there will be issues of price hikes, but it was less obvious this year. But, as consumers, we have to know our power and continue checking the prices and making comparisons," said housewife Rahmah Hussain, 63.
In Kuching, Bernama checks at Medan Niaga Satok found that only the prices of red chilli and green lime had experienced an increase due to shortage of supply, while the prices of fish, chicken and beef remained unchanged, or were even lower compared to the prices in the peninsula.
Chicken seller, Faridah Morshidi, 43, said even though the supply of chicken had slightly declined after the festive season, the price of standard chicken remained at RM9.20 per kg.
In Kuala Terengganu, several essential goods sold at the Payang Market, Batu Enam Market and Mydin Hypermarket were reported to have been sold at lower prices.
Standard chicken which was sold at RM8.50 per kg during the month of Ramadan is being sold at only RM6.50 per kg today.
The situation, however, differed in Melaka as most consumers and sellers, especially retailers and restaurant operators, called for the authorities to tighten the monitoring and enforcement of the price control scheme as the prices of essential items were said to have increased after Aidilfitri.
A housewife, Siti Masturah Abdul Wahab, 42, said the prices of fresh fish, red chili, vegetables had subtly been on the rise since the final week of Ramadan and the authorities should be more vigilant.
For Ibrahim Awaluddin, 73, the increased price of fresh items at the Historical City Wholesale Market in Batu Berendam caused him to stock up less fishes and vegetables to be sold at his sundry shop.
"I can only purchase 1 kg of red chili as it very costly now and priced at RM23 per kg, how will I sell it to the villagers? I cannot sell it for RM1 each," he chided.
In Seremban, most consumers met by Bernama were satisfied with the prices of goods, which they described as stable and that they could still purchase essential items at reasonable prices compared to previous festive seasons.
State Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs director Ain Arjuna Aziz Zaman said they had not received any complaint about market price hikes.
"The supply of consumer goods in Negeri Sembilan is adequate and most of the goods were sold below the gazetted ceiling price," she added.

text: Q: Can we make three different authentication for three different types of user in django and all three will login differently In my Django web app, I want to create three different types of users. One user can create their account just by entering their credentials and when logging in he will use his username, The next user will be admin, and the third user cannot create his account directly. The third user after entering his credentials, his request to create his account will be sent to the admin and only after the admin verifies him the account will be created else not. And when logging in the third user should use his phone number. As you can see here all three users have different signup and login process and are authenticated differently. Is there any solution to this problem? I searched everywhere but failed to find a solution to this.

Julia is a new language that promises (or threatens) to take the best of all existing languages and put them into one fantastic package.
As a Python fan I found the syntax immediately appealing and familiar. However there are a number of Python niggles that appear to be improved in Julia.
Don't like significant whitespace? Julia is using a end keyword.
Find Python's keyword initialising rule counter-intuitive? Julia re-initialises on invocation.
Wish that sequence operations were more consistent?
Julia also comes with a shell which has all the niceties of ipython.
Julia is typed but so far the inferencing for primitives has been good enough. For collections you only seem to need a type declaration if the collection is initially empty.
Julia is also trying to do a lot with parallel processing and performance. I haven't looked into that so much because that isn't my usecase but so far the requirements for efficient typing aren't causing any ceremony in the code. There is also some innate immutability in things like tuples but apart from that it is mutable by default with an immutable keyword applied to data structures that allows compiler and GC optimisation.
So Julia is a language that is immediately accessible to all Pythonistas, currently has less surprises than Python and is typed but enough inference to avoid them getting in the way. Pretty exciting!

Working with my dad was such a gas. We approached the work in a similar way. We only made two films together when I was an adult, Tucker, and Blown Away, but it was so much fun to play with your parent like that.


2. How respectful are you towards each other?
Any kind of relationship could ever be considered healthy if there is no respect between people. If you do not feel respected, you should look for your partner elsewhere and leave the person you are wasting your time on right now.

FEBT Restoration – Boiler House
The Boiler House is the building in the main shops complex that provided all the steam power for the railroad facilities in Rockhill. Notable for the twin stacks that emanate from its roof, it contains two Babcock & Wilcox water-tube boilers. The date the Boiler House was constructed is unknown, but it likely dates from the 1880's and was expanded from one to two boilers in the 1910s. It is different from most of the other shops in that it has wood roof sheathing, rather than metal, and has brick components in its exterior walls.
Although it was in good condition into the early 1980s, accumulating roof problems started causing rapid deterioration in the late 1980s. The roof had to be propped up by cribbing resting on top of the boilers. Failed roofing material on the west side allowed leaks to rot out a large beam that support the west end of the Boiler House and the east end of the Machine Shop. So more cribbing was built atop the stationary steam engine to support the two roofs. On the east side, leaks allowed water into the frame and masonry east wall. The frame portions began to rot and the masonry sections began to disintegrate.
The adjacent Coal Bin had stored fuel for the boilers. Being a frame structure, it was susceptible to the sulfuric acid that coal generates when wet. The result was that all the posts in the bin were eaten away at their bases, and the entire structure sank about six inches and had to be propped up. By 2003 the situation was becoming critical and there was concern the masonry wall might collapse.
In 2003, an FEBT work crew began work on the east wall of the Boiler House. The first order of business was to perform temporary repairs to the roof the the building to protect the walls. Eaves were attached to the existing roof joists and rolled roofing applied to that. Holes in the roof were repaired with rolled roofing sealed with roofing tar. Next, the brickwork was addressed, with damaged brick removed and matching replacements installed. Mortar repair was done as well. In 2004, rotted sections of the upper portion of the east wall were removed and replaced. The window sashes were removed for rebuilding and later reinstalled.
In 2005, work moved to the north wall of the Boiler House. With this level of damage to the Coal Bin, the roof, east wall, and north wall had to be demolished and rebuilt. The Coal Bin reconstruction was completed in 2006, and work moved to the Boiler Shop wall above the Coal Bin, where the siding was completely replaced. The window sashes were removed for rebuilding.
In 2007 work moved to the adjoining Foundry, but returned to the Boiler House in 2008 to address serious structural issues where the west wall meets the Machine Shop. Reconstruction of the beam, upper walls and roof continued into 2011, with one quadrant being rebuilt at a time. By September of 2011 the roof work was finished.
Additionally, the bases of the twin stacks were found to be seriously deteriorated. They were thoroughly cleaned, primed, and painted. The interiors of the stack bases were filled with concrete up to the access hole, and then concrete was poured around the bases in forms. This effectively encapsulated the bases of the stacks to keep them stable. Work on the building was finished in 2012.

I was sniffy about cruise ships – but then I met Maureen and Chris | Adrian Chiles

Yes, the opulence and sheer scale of the ballroom and dining rooms and so on is somewhat preposterous.

With Veterans Day coming up on Monday, America's oldest living military veteran is enjoying the spotlight on his service once more, but even at the age of 107 he doesn't seem to be slowing down.
Born May 11, 1906, he's believed to be the oldest living veteran, although it's impossible to verify since not all veterans are registered with the Department of Veterans Affairs. He served in the South Pacific during the war before selling furniture in Austin after discharge and later working in the state Treasurer's Office, according to The Chronicle.
"I've gotten so many letters and so many thank yous and I enjoy every bit of it, but I'm still going to enjoy some more," Overton, who is planning a visit with President Obama next week, told The Chronicle.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, and always a salute to the ones that are gone too soon!
When Ashleigh started at our store she became the resident hippie. Everybody loved Ash, she was one of the best. I teased her a bit about hippie things, and called her Crunchy Granola. This was all done (and hopefully taken) in fun, because she is really a great person. If you needed to know anything about Simon & Garfunkel, the Dead, Ani DiFranco or Dave Matthews Band, she was the one to ask. She knew it all.
"Cool people listen to Kim Mitchell," I responded quietly.
I slowly absorbed all this new information. Dads liked Kim Mitchell? But Kim Mitchell was one of my highschool idols. My dad had no interest in doing his "Rock N Roll Duty". This must have meant that people of the Kim generation were dads themselves now…and had kids as old as Ash! Jesus!
Kim's dad is in this video!
A little later on, Ash start socializing with this guy named Andy. At first I was skeptical of Andy because of his large gauge piercings and dreadlocks. He didn't talk much.
Turns out Andy was just shy. Ash approached me one day.
Ash paused. She took a deep breath.
Once again, I paused to absorb all this new information. Ash was with a guy who liked "dad rock". This was awesome. I started laughing. I gasped for breath, as my face turned red.
Good as my word, eventually I furnished a custom mix tape, with liner notes and carefully selected music to entertain and hopefully enlighten. I wish I had kept a copy. Unfortunately, I didn't. So in lieu of the actual track list, here's the mix tape I would make today given the exact same circumstances. Let me know what you think!

The death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) family has been characterized as a group of pro-apoptotic serine/threonine kinases that share specific structural features in their catalytic kinase domain. Two of the DAPK family members, DAPK1 and DAPK2, are calmodulin-dependent protein kinases that are regulated by oligomerization, calmodulin binding, and autophosphorylation. In this study, we have determined the crystal and solution structures of murine DAPK2 in the presence of the autoinhibitory domain, with and without bound nucleotides in the active site. The crystal structure shows dimers of DAPK2 in a conformation that is not permissible for protein substrate binding. Two different conformations were seen in the active site upon the introduction of nucleotide ligands. The monomeric and dimeric forms of DAPK2 were further analyzed for solution structure, and the results indicate that the dimers of DAPK2 are indeed formed through the association of two apposed catalytic domains, as seen in the crystal structure. The structures can be further used to build a model for DAPK2 autophosphorylation and to compare with closely related kinases, of which especially DAPK1 is an actively studied drug target. Our structures also provide a model for both homodimerization and heterodimerization of the catalytic domain between members of the DAPK family. The fingerprint of the DAPK family, the basic loop, plays a central role in the dimerization of the kinase domain.

Music Mixes
Metronome #086: Carlo Lio
Sep 20, 2016	Sam Yu
Insomniac's Metronome series features mixes from some of today's fastest-rising electronic stars, as well as championed legends. It takes listeners deep across a wide range of genres, movements, cultures, producers, artists and sounds that make up the diverse world of electronic music.
Having a trail of emulators drifting in your wake is typically a sign you're on the right track. Carlo Lio has more than a few followers, in terms of his always-attentive audience, as well as a long list of copycats looking to mimic his every move. The seasoned vet from Toronto has become somewhat of a template for most other techno and house producers, as he continually reshapes the scene and keeps the underground from stumbling over itself.
Fresh, innovative and consistently one-upping himself, his is a sound that throws off the entire curve. He sets the bar impossibly high for most of his contemporaries, yet Lio never fails to find a way to push it up another notch. It's the very reason every respectable label has invited him on during his 10+ years of staying on top. It's not just his productions he's invested in, either, as he sits on two separate record labels—Rawthentic and On Edge Society—both held in high regard by anyone worth asking. Both prolific and progressive, he's been breathing life into the scene on virtually every front imaginable. And there's still a lot of air left in those lungs of his.
As his new Ill Shit EP continues to subdue every dancefloor it touches, we figured it was the right time to put the techno titan's tastes to the test. What he came back with is a groove-heavy monstrosity you'd better hope you're ready for.
Your Ill Shit EP recently hit stores and features two new originals. How does each cut reflect where your head is at currently as an artist?
To be honest, I went back to my roots on both cuts for this EP—from the way the tracks were produced and built, to the actual style—very driving, groovy and hypnotic, with a bunch of low-end.
Obviously, much has changed since the day you put out your first release. What's the biggest difference you've noticed within yourself, and of the scene in general?
I have become a much more patient producer than I used to be. Back then, I just wanted to get music done as fast as I could, and now it's the complete opposite. I like to take my time and let my brain breathe a little. As for the scene… obviously, its growth is the main difference, and also the speed of that growth. Just take a look at how many subgenres of music there are now. I can't keep up, nor do I want to! Lol.
What mental boxes do you need to tick before feeling confident enough to make a track public?
I'll know about halfway into making the track whether it's going to pass my tests… Sometimes I don't even finish a track, and it's not until then I realize it's a yes or no. But after playing in public a few times to a crowd, that's the best way to tell whether it's gonna work, and I can give it that final "tick"!
Do you have any pet peeves as a music consumer?
Yes, when I do shop for music, I think that's when you really see how many people copy styles and are not always as original as they should be!
Carl Cox brought you on to take part in the Final Chapter series, which must have been a huge honor. As someone who holds Ibiza in high regard, do you think you'd ever reach the point where you would feel the need to walk away from the White Isle?
Yes, it's a massive honour for me, of course. As for the island, I don't see myself walking away from it. Although it is changing, and changing fast, it's still Ibiza, and there is a whole other side to it besides music. Yes, Space is closing, which is a massive part of Ibiza and has been for so many years, but there is still so much to look forward to and be excited about.
Who are your biggest music heroes, and why?
Cox is definitely at the top of the list, and musically, Mr G is my god!
What sort of legacy do you hope to leave for yourself?
Music is a constant cycle; I basically want to be in that cycle after I am gone. You see tracks being brought back many years later because they're timeless. I hope my music falls into that category, at least.
With two record labels in your name, how do you manage to keep both active while simultaneously touring and penning your own productions? Does it feel overwhelming at times?
It totally does, as well as trying to balance a normal life. But when you have a passion so deep for music and the business, you will always find time and make time. I need it to keep going through life.
Please share a few words on the mix you've put together for us.
I prepared a monster groovy mix for you guys, with a lot of character and surprises. ENJOY!

The Arts in the Digital Age
The Great Reformatting
As performances go digital, artists must reconsider their relationship to audiences
By Theodore Gioia | July 6, 2020
Steven Pisano (Flickr/stevenpisano)
This is the first in a series of articles on the shifting landscape of artistic activity on the modern Internet. Each article will explore how digital technology (from iPhones to Instagram) continues to change the ways art is created, experienced, and discussed in a screen-first society.
The coronavirus has coerced a once-impossible concession: the heads of High Culture have acknowledged that they're living in the 21st century—as many old-school institutions have suddenly dipped into digital. The New York Philharmonic performed Boléro by stitching together videos of orchestra members playing at home, the Smithsonian started offering virtual-reality tours of its exhibits, and the Public Theater premiered Richard Nelson's What Do We Need to Talk About? in the form of a video call (just to name a few). Over the past three months, social distancing has abruptly catapulted the classical arts from the secure performance traditions of the 19th century into the dizzying, phantasmagoric virtual circus that makes up 21st-century creative professionalism. And what mighty cultural lynchpin, you might ask, is responsible for bridging the colossal gap between the analog and digital ages? Zoom Video Conferencing.
In a matter of weeks, Zoom has become center stage for all corners of world culture. Every day, I'm invited to another Zoom affair: speeches, poetry readings, town halls, art fairs, movie premieres, book launches, watch parties, and even a digital wedding toast. Of course, Zoom is not the answer to saving the arts for the digital generation, but it does pose the question: Why don't we have better alternatives? For many institutions, fear that improving the virtual performance would threaten the health of the physical one has kept them in a state of pseudo-Internet denial. But the international health crisis has forced organizations to confront a generational sea change that has been brewing across the arts since Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone.
Now, we are in the opening days of a movement without a name. The 20th century was an era of deconstruction in the high arts, from modernist assaults on form to postmodern satires of sincerity and logic. These decades saw the Death of the Author, the End of Painting, and the canonization of alienation as the supreme artistic ideal. But the driving impulse of the 21st -century imagination leans in the opposite direction, as artists across fields embrace an instinct we might call reconstruction. By "reconstruction," I mean packaging the tired tropes of old traditions into fresh scenarios and formats wherein they recover their original power. The reconstructive artist seeks new forms for old content, fresh formulas for familiar emotions. This artist deploys tomorrow's vehicles for yesterday's ideas.
The collision of technological and generational change has fueled this paradigm shift. The marriage of iPhone technology and millennial habits has incubated a new generation of audiences who consume music, stories, and visual art in a fundamentally different way than their pre-digital peers. Across the popular arts today, we witness a wide-scale reformatting of time-honored genres from forms designed for concentration into forms built for interaction. Private concerts become public festivals. Radio shows become podcasts. Passive participation triumphs over active contemplation. While COVID-19 accelerated this trend, the phenomenon encompasses much more than streaming performances on Zoom. Here are a few examples of reformatting I've noticed:
• Live storytelling events
• Kindle & Audible books
• George Saunders's Lincoln in the Bardo audiobook (featuring 166 cast members)
• Poetry slam competitions over poetry readings
• Miranda July's Somebody app (a messaging app through which strangers volunteer to deliver in person your message to a friend)
• Ruchika Tomar's novel A Prayer for Travelers
• Interactive fiction games (Zoe Quinn's Depression Quest, Arcadia, 80 Days)
• Place-based digital storytelling (Detour's audio tours & the iPad novel The Silent History by Eli Horowitz, Matthew Derby, and Kevin Moffett, with stories activated by GPS locations)
• Book sculpture (Timothy McSweeney's Quarterly Concern issues printed as balloons, a mail bundle, and a phonebook)
• Chris Ware's Building Stories (with 14 original printed works that can be read in any order)
JOURNALISM:
• Podcasts over radio shows or newspapers
• The ascent of weekly newsletters over weekly columns
• Reimagined magazines (Pop-Up Magazine, The Thing Quarterly)
• Multimedia infographics & data visualizations
• Video essays & editorial documentaries (i.e., Adam Curtis presenting editorial argument in the format of a "non-fiction" film)
• Investigative crime podcasts over investigative journalism
• Streaming music services over radio or albums
• Site-specific dance & opera
• Kanye West's opera Nebuchadnezzar
• Multimedia music events (the Los Angeles Philharmonic's in/SIGHT series, the San Francisco Symphony's SoundBox concerts)
• Pop-up street orchestras (the "conductorless" Kaleidoscope Chamber Orchestra)
THEATER:
• Immersive theater (Punchdrunk theatre company)
• The final act of Jackie Sibblies Drury's Fairview
• Midsummer Night's Dreaming (the Royal Shakespeare Company's digital project with invented storylines for new characters, including Mrs. Snug)
ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN:
• Public art installations over museum exhibits (Nina Pope and Karen Guthrie's The Floating Cinema)
• Nelly Ben Hayoun's experiential installations (Super K Sonic Booooum embodying a sonic boom from a sub-atomic particle's perspective)
• Temporary architecture
• Renaming interior architecture as "immediate spaces"
VISUAL ART:
• Pop-up exhibitions & temporary art projects (Banksy's Dismaland)
• Kara Walker's site-specific monumental sculpture (A Subtlety)
• Interactive performance art (Marina Abramović's The Artist is Present)
• The rise of art biennials
• Ai Weiwei's Fairytale
• Thomas Thwaites's GoatMan project
All of these experiments reflect different strategies for addressing the same problem. Audiences are evolving—and artists are scrambling to catch up.
Scanning the disparate items on this list, a few recurring themes emerge: an emphasis on participation, viscera, ephemera, and an immersive sense of space (whether it's a physical location, a screen, or the tactile surface of an object). The connecting thread across these themes is an enriched form of interaction: a kinetic recalibration of the audience's central nervous system, shifting its primary mode of engagement with an artwork from contemplation to interaction. Even the Zoom play (which may seem less interactive than live theater) gives each viewer the ability to adjust the performance's volume and screen size. In 2020, the onus is on the work of art to engage its audience—to seduce its spectators—not on the audience members to become sophisticated enough to appreciate the art.
This is an incredible departure from earlier eras, which would slap the label "lazy" on such delinquent viewers with barely a second thought. Yet for an Internet-addled public, whose sensory faculties are diluted by a lifetime of constant digital stimuli, there is a need for dynamic engagement that runs deeper than mere laziness. Steady exposure to screens gradually reorganizes neural pathways in the brain to create an intense, biological urge for interaction. More than anything else, writer Marc Prensky explains, "Digital Natives crave interactivity—an immediate response to their each and every action." This Pavlovian need for interaction demands a larger redefinition of art's relationship to its audience. Distraction is no longer the exception but the default condition of the mid-millennium mind.
The duty of battling this distraction falls to the artist. The great task of the contemporary artist is to reformat literature, music, and museums in inventive ways that earn the type of enraptured attention that true art demands. Amid the sea of crude Zoom concerts and awkward online readings launched by necessity over the past months, it is easy to overlook that the real purpose of reformatting is not enhancing a work's accessibility but its artistry. A successful format will invent its own type of attention, and while there have been standout individual performances, I have yet to encounter a virtual concert template that makes Massenet or Marlowe alive for post-Instagram audiences. That is to say, the great artistic genres of the iPhone era have yet to be discovered, and what these unborn titans end up being will shape the institutions, artists, and ideas that rise and fall over the next half-century.
Thus, the stakes of reformatting institutions like the symphony are not just economic survival or cultural preservation—but something more serious. Art exists to break through the hypnotic rhythm of habit and salvage some fresh sensation of life. Reconstruction, as an artistic impulse, represents an attempt to recover the capacity to lucidly think, feel, and hear in an age of infinite distraction.

I'm most impressed with Aimee Ann's spectacular, detailed review of my book, Charlene the Star and Hattie's Heroes. She did a wonderful job of elaborating on what she and her children liked about the story without divulging everything that happened in the book.. Readers are introduced to the characters in the book and some of the adventures they had together. I recommend her work highly and look forward to her next review of another of my children's books.
Thank you so much Deanie for your kind testimonial you have made my day!
Thank you so much Jess! I loved your book and have loved working with you and I can't thank you enough for your kind words, thank you!
Writing a book is hard, and then the real work begins. Getting the message out is a challenge, but it gets a little easier with excellent reviews like yours. Thank you, Aimee.
Aimee's review of my Gothic novel, Owl Manor – the Dawning, is very enthusiastic and compelling. She touches on aspects of the novel without giving the story away. Since the review has been live I have seen my ranking increase as well as my sales so I am thankful for Aimee's review.
Thank you so much Zita for your kind words you have made my day!
Thank you so much Andrew for your kind testimonial I appreciate it so much! I have loved working with you on both books and am excited to work with you again!
Thank you so much Judy for your lovely testimonial! I loved working with you and loved your story and look forward to working with you again!
Thank you so much Deborah for your kind testimonial, I appreciate it so much! It was so amazing working with you and I look forward to working with you again. Thank you!

Quality healthcare should be available to consumers anywhere and anytime. The foundation of quality healthcare is timely information that supports a proper diagnosis.
Our Vision is to make healthcare accessible to patients, without compromise, by delivering the highest quality, fastest, cost effective and portable detection systems that bring the patient and caregiver closer together.
Today's model of centralized healthcare services works for patients that can access hospitals and whose conditions can be adequately addressed in hours rather than minutes. The growing use of mobile communications and the recognition that many medical decisions require faster intervention are driving a decentralization of diagnostic testing. The patient experience and the physician's ability to effectively treat only improve with faster, better information. As a result, healthcare delivery is becoming more decentralized and widely accessible, moving from hospitals to clinics, physician's offices, pharmacies and into the home.
Diagnostics are the foundation of medical treatment. Making the right decision at the right time with quality diagnostic information is critical to making patient care decisions. Using the Nanōmix systems, healthcare professionals will have rapid access to quality diagnostic information while they interact with the patient. Remote, lower resource areas will be able to access professional care via mobile communication of diagnostic information from the Nanōmix system.


When Cyclone Idai hit Mozambique and Zimbabwe last month, Rev. Marco Cable, Global Ministries Area Executive for Africa, suddenly found himself inundated with emails, texts, phone calls, and WhatsApp messages. Some came from global partners, while others came from congregations connected to Global Ministries. He has since been working diligently to communicate with partners in Mozambique and Zimbabwe, as well as to share news with the wider Global Ministries constituency.
It's support like this that remind global partners that they are not alone, particularly in a crisis such as this one. "Most partners have really emphasized that they're able to respond to the crisis – and to live – because they have support from Global Ministries and related churches in the US and Canada. They feel lifted by prayers and thoughts of concern during this difficult time," noted Cable.
We at Global Ministries are grateful for the many ways that you abide with us and with global partners.

Kомунистичка партија (скраћено KП) била је парламентарна политичка партија у Републици Србији. На ванредним парламентарним изборима 2016. године, наступила је у оквиру коалиције Социјалистичке партије Србије-Јединствене Србије и добија једно посланичко место, као и на редовним изборима 2020. године када је такође добила једно посланичко место.

Историја
Основана је на оснивачком конгресу у Београду, 28. новембра 2010. године, чиме је потврђена одлука о уједињењу две мање комунистичке партије (Нове комунистичке партије Србије и Социјал-демократа из Новог Сада) и групе комуниста предвођене Јосипом Јошком Брозом која је спроведена 21. новембра 2009. године у Новом Саду. На првом конгресу Комунистичке партије који је одржан 20. децембра 2014. године у просторијама СУБНОР-а Србије у Београду, званично је њен оснивач и дотадашњи председник партије Јосип Јошка Броз био поново изабран за председника партије чиме му је опет указано поверење. Јосип Јошка Броз је унук некадашњег доживотног председника СФРЈ и СКЈ Јосипа Броза Тита. Била је једина комунистичка партија у Републици Србији која је успела скупити 12.000 потписа за регистрацију. Сматрала се настављачем идеологије КПЈ и СКЈ и тековина поштовања НОБ-а, као и улоге комуниста у истом. Радила је на уједињењу свих левичарских снага у јаку организацију, која би била способна да промени тренутни систем у држави. Основа партијске идеологије била је титоизам. На ванредном конгресу у Београду, 24. децембра 2016. године, председнику партије Јосипу Јошки Брозу је још једном било изгласано поверење. У јануару на конгерсу Комунистичке партије одлучено је да странка мења име у Српску левицу и изгласан је нови председник странке, Радослав Милојичић.

Организација
На челу партије је био председник, следећи по хијерархији био је Генерални секретар а партијом је руководио Централни комитет. Партија је била подељена по комитетима (покрајинским, окружним, градским и општинским) и основним организацијама (градским и општинским), комитете су чинили минимално 15 чланова и њима су управљали комитетски секретари (изузев покајинских комитета којима су управљали председници истих) док основне организације моле су бројати најмање 5 чланова и њима су руководли повереници. Постојала је и омладинска организација у склопу партије под именом Комунистичка омладина. Члан КП могао је постати сваки пунолетни грађанин.

Деловање
Била је веома активна од свог оснивања на територији Србије, а нешто слабије у бившим југословенским републикама. Такође је била активна у међународном комунистичком покрету и организовала је разне акције и петиције, као нпр. за ослобађање петорице Кубанаца. Основни програмски циљеви КП били су: социјална правда, враћање достојанства ђацима, студентима, радницима, пензионерима, пољопривредницима, војсци, полицији и правосуђу, програм повратка средње класе, без обзира на религијско и национално опредељење, преиспитивање приватизације и њеног поштовања, као и борба против корупције и криминала, програм ширења породице и спречавања беле куге, сарадња са свим земљама и народима који то желе, али без условљавања на штету достојанства нашег народа, спајање са свим комунистичким партијама у свету, поштовање тековина антифашистичке борбе и улоге Јосипа Броза Тита, борила се за начела да буде земља радног народа, а не појединаца или странаца и, у крајњем циљу, за пуну обнову Социјалистичке Федеративне Републике Југославије (СФРЈ) на добровољној основи.

Имала је разноврсне и тематски богате плакате. Партија је имала добре односе са амбасадорима социјалистичких земаља. Такође, КП је имала одличне односе са бројим комунистичким и радничким партијама у свету а нарочито са Комунистичком партијом Кубе, Комунистичком партијом Венецуеле и Комунистичком партијом Руске Федерације. Делегати КП су, 2013. године, присуствовали XV Конгресу Комунистичке партије Руске Федерације. Тада Генадиј Зјуганов (председник Централног комитета Комунистичке партије Руске Федерације) постаје почасни члан КП. На простору бивше Југославије Комунистичка партија одржавала је добре односе са Комунистичком партијом у Босни и Херцеговини (БиХ) (основаном 21. фебруара 2012), чији је председник Мухамед Имамовић и Комунистичком партијом Хрватске (основаном 25. маја 2013), чији је председник Радослав Илић Мрки. Деловање КП темељило се на програму и статуту партије.

Чланство у међународним организацијама
КП није била члан ниједне међународне организације, имала у плану да поднесе захтев за чланство у Партији европске левице.

Избори

На парламентарним изборима у Србији 2012. Комунистичка партија је наступала самостално са кандидатом Јосипом Јошком Брозом и за њу је гласало 28.977 грађана или 0,74% гласова и није успела ући у парламент.

Комунистичка партија нашла се у коалицији са Црногорском партијом на изборној листи Црногорска партија — Јосип Броз на ванредним парламентарним изборима 2014. године. Носилац изборне листе био је Јошка Броз, али и на овим изборима Комунистичка партија није успела да уђе у парламент будући да је поменута листа освојила 6.388 гласова (0,18%).

Kомунистичка партија је на ванредним парламентарним изборима 2016. године наступала у оквиру коалиције Социјалистичка партија Србије-Јединствена Србија и имала је једног кандидата за народног посланика, тј. председника Kомунистичке партије Јосипа Јошку Броза. На тим изборима, коалиција Социјалистичка партија Србије-Јединствена Србија освојила је 413.770 (10,95%) гласова и 29 посланичких мандата у Народној скупштини Републике Србије. Међу поменутих 29 посланика који су ушли у Народну скупштину Републике Србије био је и Јосип Јошка Броз. То је био први пут, од 1992. године после Савеза комуниста — Покрета за Југославију да је нека партија која у свом префиксу носи назив Комунистичка, постала парламентарна у Републици Србији и уопште у парламентима држава насталих распадом СФР Југославије.

На покрајинским изборима 2016. године (који су се одржавали заједно са поменутим ванредним парламентарним) Kомунистичка партија је такође наступала у оквиру коалиције Социјалистичка партија Србије-Јединствена Србија па је тако освојила и једно посланичко место у Скупштини Аутономне Покрајине Војводине. KП је, на локалним изборима 2016. године (који су се такође одржавали у исто време када и покрајински и ванредни парламентарни), наступајући у коалицији са групом грађана Белоцркванска слободна иницијатива освојила и једно одборничко место у Скупштини општине Бела Црква.

Народни посланик Kомунистичке партије у Народној скупштини Републике Србије био је Јосип Јошка Броз од 2016. до 2022. године у два мандата. Посланик Kомунистичке партије у Скупштини Аутономне Покрајине Војводине у једном мандату била је Јованка Чолак Kирали (она је сестричина Титове четврте супруге Јованке Броз) док је одборник Kомунистичке партије у Скупштини општине Бела Црква  у једном мандату био Драган Станковић.

Bigelow says she was first inspired to make movies after seeing Sam Peckinpah's 1969 Western "The Wild Bunch" at a New York theater. It was the opposite of a chick flick, and it forecast the kinds of movies she would helm over the next two decades —masculine and violent movies usually made by men. Bigelow says her attraction to typically male-dominated material is no mystery.
Her first film, a 1978 short, was unsettling for two reasons: It involved two men beating each other bloody in a dark alley while a voice-over spoke about the seductiveness of cinema violence. And it starred Gary Busey.
She ultimately landed in Hollywood doing writing work, but it wasn't until 1987 that her career really took off. Her vampire film "Near Dark" became a cult hit.
She followed that up with other genre films, taking a brief detour to marry James Cameron in 1989. They divorced in 1991, but not before she could appear in the unfortunate music video he shot for Bill Paxton's band Martini Ranch. (Look for it on YouTube.) Bigelow, naturally, played a tough, gun-wielding cowboy.
Much has been made of Bigelow being the first woman to win a Best Director Oscar, but she has always been downright resistant to addressing the gender issue.
"She never played the victim. She never played the female artist," Weiner says.
"There's really no difference between what I do and what a male filmmaker might do," Bigelow told "60 Minutes."
This might be the long-awaited apotheosis of feminism, or it might be simply a moment. If the latter, it's a moment to be savored, and considered. Dylan's words are uniquely applicable: "She's got everything she needs; she's an artist; she don't look back." God bless Bigelow for making women feel that what is possible is something unrelated to compromise, unrelated to playing nice, and unrelated to what other people say we should do, who be can be.


How does nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium affect roots?
However, if you browse the articles listed on the "Plant Stress" website, you soon realise that nutrients are only one of the influences on root growth and it would be wrong to consider mineral nutrition in the absence of other factors such as water stress (drought) which can have a huge effect on root growth.
Basic ingredients in standard fertilizers use a combination of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to promote vigorous and healthy plant growth.
The second of the Big 3, phosphorus, is linked to a plant's ability to use and store energy, including the process of photosynthesis. It's also needed to help plants grow and develop normally. Phosphorus in commercial fertilizers comes from phosphate rock.
Phosphorus is one of the 16 essential nutrients that plants need for growth and reproduction. Phosphorus is considered one of the three major nutrients. They are termed major nutrients because of the relatively large amounts utilized by plants and the frequency with which their deficiencies limit plant growth.
Jul 08, 2017· Fertiliser phosphorus does not move far from where it is applied because reacts rapidly with soil. Phosphorus in soil and plants smart! fertilizer.
Nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, are essential for plant and animal growth and nourishment, but the overabundance of certain nutrients in water can cause a number of adverse health and ecological effects. Nitrogen, in the forms of nitrate, nitrite, or ammonium, is a nutrient needed for plant growth.
In most streams and lakes, phosphorus or nitrogen limits plant growth. Adding more of the limiting nutrient, in fact, can stimulate too much plant growth, which starts a chain of events that may eventually deplete oxygen from the water and kill fish and other aquatic animals.
Dec 25, 2009· Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth, and it is limiting crop production in many regions of the world (Holford, 1997). Global demand for P fertilizer continues to increase while global reserves of P are in decline ( Steen, 1998 ; Cordell et al., 2009 ).
Phosphorus (P) is essential for all living organisms. Plants must have phosphorus for normal growth and maturity. Phosphorus plays a role in photosynthesis, respiration, energy storage and transfer, cell division, cell enlargement and several other processes in plants.
Nitrogen and phosphorus support the growth of algae and aquatic plants, which provide food and habitat for fish, shellfish and smaller organisms that live in water. But when too much nitrogen and phosphorus enter the environment - usually from a wide range of human activities - the air and water can become polluted.
Organic phosphorus in the form of residues, manures, or from the soil organic matter can contribute greatly to the phosphorus in the soil solution for crop growth. In some soils organic phosphorus can contribute 50 percent of the available phosphorus.
Fertilizer affects plant growth by supplementing plant nutrients, which allows plants to grow faster and thicker. However, this applies only if the soil is deficient in nutrients.
More importantly, the processes have no effect on the availability of P to plants. Phosphate fertilizer terminology and sources. ... Figure 5: Reduced plant growth in potato due to a phosphorus deficiency. Figure 6: Purpling on the edge of corn leaves due to phosphorus deficiency.
Adding phosphorus to soil low in available phosphorus promotes root growth and winter hardiness, stimulates tillering, and often hastens maturity. Plants deficient in phosphorus are stunted in growth and often have an abnormal dark-green color.
Effect of Nitrate and Phosphate Levels on the Growth of Algae ... students will determine the effect of nitrate and phosphate levels on the growth of algae. ... Phosphate: PO 4 3-, a compound necessary for the growth of plants. It is one of the main nutrients found in fertilizers.
phosphorus in soil and plants Phosphorus is an essential macro-element, required for plant nutrition. It participates in metabolic processes such as photosynthesis, energy transfer and synthesis and breakdown of carbohydrates.
Phosphorus is a nutrient that increases plant growth; it's great for food crops, but it's not great for aquatic systems because it enhances the growth of plants over the growth of other wildlife—eutrophication.
The primary nutrients are needed for plan growth are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). These major nutrients are usually the first lacking from the soil first because plants use large amounts for their growth and survival.
Apr 22, 2014· The organic fertilizer and liquid fertilizer have higher EC values, which may increase soil EC and thus affect plant growth after the fertilizers are applied to the land . Table 1 Effects of different nitrogen fertilizer treatments on soil properties.
Phosphorus supports the transfer of energy in plants, which is a different role from other plant nutrients, such as nitrogen. Nitrogen is part of the chlorophyll molecule and is needed for vegetative growth, but phosphorus promotes root growth, flowering and setting seed.


One of our Common Councillors, Hatfield House resident Sue Pearson, blew her top not long ago at a City Corporation planning meeting, accusing the assembled decision-makers of "trashing our wonderful estate".
Two weeks later, it might have looked like she had egg on her face when the same planning committee granted conservation area status to both the Barbican and Golden Lane Estates.
But as residents will tell you quickly, words mean little if not followed by deeds.
Councillor Pearson is not alone in her dim view of council attitudes towards our estate.
Many residents complain not just of the material neglect shown to what is studied worldwide as important modernist architecture, but of the institutional failure to genuinely attach any cultural value to these boxy coloured buildings we call home.
It was Councillor Pearson who one warm day in 2016 invited me to join a party of volunteers 16 storeys up on the top of Great Arthur House, where there is, unbeknownst to many residents, a spectacular roof garden – with pond.
The garden has been closed for many years, yet it is one of the most beautiful and distinguished parts of our estate, and remains criminally ignored and under used.
We had a job to do on that day because parts of the garden's paving had become overgrown with weeds, so we set about our back-breaking work with little to sustain us other than the fabulous views of London in every direction. We finished with aching arms but the smug feeling of a job well done.
So I have some sympathy with Councillor Pearson's sentiments about our landlords. Residents would just like to get a sense that the City Corporation views its asset, our estate, with some pride.
It could all be so different. In Barcelona, one of master architect Gaudí's most celebrated buildings, Casa Milà (aka, La Pedrera), has a roof garden that has been properly secured and is scrupulously maintained, hosting regular summer evenings of light music.
Back on Golden Lane, a more enlightened approach can be seen unfolding behind the community centre.
On her arrival as estate manager back in April, Michelle Warman took an instant shine to our fish pond, which sits in a peaceful sunken garden between Bowater House and Bayer House.
The pond had fallen into a sorry state, but now it is a picture of nascent vitality. Fresh reed beds have been planted and a new aerating pump has replaced the old ugly one.
The fish can once again breathe easily, free from choking slime. Their only problem is a hungry heron that has been spotted lurking on the roof of Bayer House, eyeing a feast below.
It is some of the lesser used areas of the estate, such as Great Arthur roof garden, the fish pond, the lawns and the open spaces that make Golden Lane so admired. But they're also often the parts that come under the threat of development. That's when Councillor Pearson is likely to launch into another "trashing" fit.
Another example is the recent City Corporation decision to close the estate's management office and use the space to create new flats. Where the estate office will be relocated is a mystery.
The City Corporation says it can move into the community centre, but nearly four months after the community centre officially opened after refurbishment, it is still not fit for wheelchair users. It's hard to argue against the creation of much-needed new homes, but in this case I'll give it a go. When the estate was first built, its administrative hub was deliberately put in a central, open and accessible place on the ground floor of Great Arthur House.
The present office fronts on to a paved plaza connecting it to the community centre. This plaza is where residents gather, bump into one another, swapping stories and information about activities and events.
This space has been converted into a busy car park, and nattering residents are forced to step aside whenever a vehicle approaches.
Robbing the estate of its communal spaces is the kind of casual and careless "trashing" that Councillor Pearson is trying to resist.
Not long ago, she had a bad accident and simultaneously broke both of her arms. Yet still she soldiers on, often in the face of ugly opposition.
So when I say "more power to her elbow", I mean it in more ways than one.
Last month I wrote about the dangers of U-turning traffic to residents crossing Fann Street. In two half-hour vigils, I counted 26 and 29 (almost one a minute) prohibited U-turns.
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I asked how many penalties had been issued in the past year, the amount of the fine, and where the money is spent.
The reply has just arrived, stating that 266 penalty notices went out in the past 12 months (fewer than one a day), that the fine for each is £130, discounted to £65 if paid within 14 days, and that the money is spent on off-street parking and other transport projects.
