Adipose stem cells (ASCs) represent a reliable source of stem cells with a widely demonstrated potential in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering applications. New recent insights suggest that three-dimensional (3D) models may closely mimic the native tissue properties; spheroids from adipose derived stem cells (SASCs) exhibit enhanced regenerative abilities compared with those of 2D models. Stem cell therapy success is determined by "cell-quality"; for this reason, the involvement of stress signals and cellular aging need to be further investigated. Here, we performed a comparative analysis of genes connected with stemness, aging, telomeric length and oxidative stress, in 3D and 2D primary cultures. The expression levels of stemness-related markers and anti-aging Sirtuin1 were significantly up-regulated (P < 0.001) in SASCs-3D while gene expression of aging-related p16INK4a was increased in ASCs-2D (P < 0.001). The 3D and 2D cultures also had a different gene expression profile for genes related to telomere maintenance (Shelterin complex, RNA Binding proteins and DNA repair genes) (P < 0.01 and P < 0.001) and oxidative stress (aldehyde dehydrogenase class1 and 3) (P < 0.05, P < 0.01 and P < 0.001) and presented a striking large variation in their cellular redox state. Based on our findings, we propose a "cell quality" model of SASCs, highlighting a precise molecular expression of several genes involved with stemness (SOX2, POU5F1 and NANOG), anti-aging (SIRT1), oxidative stress (ALDH3) and telomeres maintenance.

Michael is the leader of the archangels and the protector of us lightworkers. My conscious experience of him has undergone many changes over the decades of my knowing him. Though I am blessed to have a strong connection to other archangels and angels, I want to use Michael here as an example of what angels are telling us and how they assist us.
In terms of connecting with angels, there are many approaches that work to establish initial contact. In fact, they are all ears, so eagerly awaiting and anticipating our summons. Just say "Angel" or "Michael" and it is done! And then add a request or question that comes from the heart and it will be attended to and answered. But are we all ears? Are we really willing to listen to what they tell us?
Someone once said that you cannot take a single breath without an angel in your ear telling you to breathe! And, of course, if you prefer, you can always pray and make a request to God to send His angels to guide and support you; for angels are God's messengers. They always respond, as does God.
I have a recent story to tell about Michael and me and how connected we can be. It was a beautiful, glorious summer day as I walked toward the parking lot of a Family Dollar store in a neighborhood where I never shop. Suddenly, I encountered a scene swirling with violent vicious threats and invective all directed toward a gentleman bending over his bike to unlock it.
"Good for you!" I said.
"What did you say?!" She shot back at me.
Seemingly out of nowhere, as this crazy, raging bully was about to lunge at me, a large, very upset, but headstrong woman in a purple gown-like dress swooped in between us (like a descending angel) spreading out her arms (or was it wings?!) to keep us apart. She had been standing by the van watching us and apparently knew the bully.
"Leave! Get out of here now!" she looked at me.
I then turned and walked briskly toward the entrance of the Family Dollar store, feeling grateful for the the woman in the purple flowing dress and for Archangel Michael, who had been and still was by my side. I had felt myself bathed in golden light for the duration of a very dangerous encounter. Michael's light for me is golden.
Not once did I feel fear or doubt myself. Thus, I felt no need to summon Michael as I have done other times where courage and standing in truth and integrity were essential. This time felt like a divine intervention on his part. I like to think I was rescued while still being allowed to have the marvelous experience of feeling and knowing from a deep place within how powerful I really am — also how safe I am, how I am never alone and how I can trust.
On that chaotic, but truly glorious, summer day, Michael exemplified for me the role of all angels to support and protect humans, as well as to teach and assist us in our spiritual evolution toward greater balance, power and love.
Although I am eternally grateful for all the wisdom, love and guidance I have received from God's angels, I feel the greatest gift any of us can give them is to follow their guidance and example.

(SOLD OUT) New Skybender tilt modules - 1.25" - SolarChat!
Re: New Skybender tilt modules - 1.25" and 2"
These are great, I have two and can say they really are well made devices.
The 2" version can be made into an entire optical system that is modular. You can put a filter on the nose, add a nose extension, put two filters in the tilt cell (one on each side) and filters on the eyepiece side. I configured it to have two ERFs and two narrowband filters as a single device. Very versatile!
Here's my blue one with two ERFs and two narrowband filters that is simply inserted into a refractor (up to 150mm tested). Compact and modular.
From what I can gather, the 1.25" Sky Bender has a female SCT thread on one side and a 1.25"OD tube on the other?
Please confirm this if you can.

Hogan urges counties to improve rent relief distribution
OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is urging county leaders to do a better job delivering millions of available dollars for pandemic-related rental assistance to those who need it.
Hogan spoke Saturday at the annual Maryland Association of Counties convention in Ocean City. He said more than $500 million in state and federal funds have been made available but counties have only spent about 20% of what's been provided. He praised four counties – Carroll, Cecil, Howard, and Prince George's – for their efforts but said others are lagging behind.
Maryland is one of many states that has struggled to get rental-relief funds into the hands of intended recipients.

Variation in the male-female hormones is often considered the primary cause of gynecomastia. There are several factors that can trigger hormonal imbalance. Before choosing to undergo the knife for male breast reduction surgery, it is important to know the causes of this condition.
Some type of health conditions are also found to bring variation in the normal hormonal levels of the body. If, in any given scenario, they cause the imbalance in the reproductive hormones, chances are that a person might develop gynecomastia. Several hormonal changes occur during the process of ageing. If changes involve estrogen-androgen, it might give rise to enlarged male breasts among men. Also, tumors affecting adrenal glands, testes and pituitary glands can also change the male-female hormone balance.
Gynecomastia might occur as the side effect of drugs and medicines. Several diuretics can trigger anti-androgenic activity on the body of a male. Medicines of hypertension, particularly those comprising calcium channel blockers, affect the metabolic process of the hormones and often this is associated with improper use of medications for ulcers, prostate cancer and bacterial infections. In addition, drugs such as heroin, amphetamines, marijuana and alcohol might also cause male breast. Long term usage of tea tree oil or lavender oil in skin care products are also observed trigger this condition because of their weak estrogenic activity.
Both females and males have androgen (a male hormone) and estrogen (a female hormone). At the time of puberty, the levels of these hormones fluctuate. If estrogen levels go high for a long period than androgen in male, gynecomastia occurs. In most cases, this kind of hormonal imbalance resolves at its own within six months. Also, the condition disappears naturally when the imbalance correct itself. This is known as physiologic gynecomastia. In case, the conditions persists or lasts for more than two years, which is the case with boys during the pubertal age, it is called persistent pubertal gynecomastia. There are several causes for hormonal imbalance and varies from person to person.
Irrespective of what the reason for enlarged male breast is, you can get rid of it by undergoing gynecomastia surgery; one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures for correcting enlarged male breasts.

My study is nowhere near as tidy as this room!
A quick round up of my reading and book buying for (most of) February 2018. I won't return to those already covered in my Sunday Salon posts over on The Dowager, but that still leaves an embarrassing amount of new books to note.
Books read = 5. There are a couple I still have to review, but if you are interested in my thoughts on Phase One of #ReadingMuriel2018 then head over to this post.
Also, is anyone else as annoyed as I am by the tendency of Amazon to start putting a book's description in the title? See the screenshot below. Most irritating.
Pretty pleased with my February haul, now onwards to March.
I imposed my own book buying ban last month and actually stuck to it. It was so tough though. I definitely want to read the Evelyn Harcastke book and the Chalk Man. Hope you enjoy.
Thanks Lynn. Everyone I know who has read the Evelyn Hardcastle book has loved it, but I have several things on my list before I can get to it.
It is HORRENDOUS, but seems only to be prevalent in bestsellery type books. When it starts happening to Virginia Woolf novels I will have something to say about it!

If you hold a UK qualification but have been practicing overseas, you can apply for readmission without undertaking a period of updating skills and knowledge. Contact the registrations department at the HCPC.
The profession benefits greatly from the input of mature returners who bring new skills, qualities and experience into the workplace.
1. Read all the information available on HCPC website for returners, including the format for submitting evidence. Ensure you have understood what is required.
2. Create your 'learning plan'. Use the HCPC standards of proficiency (Radiographers) to identify gaps in knowledge and areas that will require revision.
3. Check that you understand and are able to comply with all other HCPC requirements and standards.
4. Contact SoR membership services to initiate 3 months free membership for access to member only areas and all other member benefits, or ring 020 7740 7200.
6. Find a clinical department to supervise your clinical practice. Use your contacts or find a hospital. Don't forget that private providers are often able to provide placements. Try to make a personal call rather than via e-mail.
7. Organise a contract/formal agreement with the supervising department. This ensures that the employer accepts vicarious liability for you during your time on their premises and expectations on both sides are clearly understood. .
9. Clarify the support being offered and identify your key contacts. Try to have a documented learning agreement based on your own needs assessment.
10. Seek a named individual as a mentor and focus for communication.
11. Be prepared to listen to and reflect upon feedback! Keep accurate records of your supervised time and practice undertaken/observed.
'It is your responsibility to make sure that you meet the appropriate requirements and can practise safely and effectively within your scope of practice, in line with HCPC standards. The updating you need to complete will be individual to you.
The activities you carry out to update your knowledge and skills will depend on: – the area in which you plan to work when you begin practising again; – your prior experience; – any relevant skills you gained whilst out of practice; and – any relevant developments in your profession during the time when you were out of practice. Please refer to the HCPC return to practice guidance booklet.
13. Build some flexibility into the supervised practice period. It may take longer than the minimum period suggested to regain confidence.
14. Create relevant portfolios to record your clinical experience and your academic studies.
15. At end of the minimum period review your progress and assess whether you meet HCPC standards, then either complete the application forms and send to HCPC or review your learning plan to close remaining gaps.
1. Welcome contact from returnees; they are potential new staff!
iii. Substantive/temporary paid contract (clear endpoint should HCPC registration not be achieved).
vii. Requirement for a Disclosure and Barring certificate.
5. See SoR News page for any current recruitment campaigns or other support.
In the short term, you will probably be competing for jobs with newly qualified radiographers.
Remember returners have a lot to offer!
DO NOT PUT YOURSELF DOWN!!
Emphasise all the extra knowledge and skills that you would offer the imaging or radiotherapy department. Utilise Job Hunting and NHS Jobs websites.


Listeners hearing distorted speech may be able to "correct" it if they have enough information about the nature of the distortion. We present evidence that this ability to correct a distorted speech signal is bought at a slight cost, namely, hyper-correction. We presented American English listeners with brief (85 msec) samples of 11 vowels that had been 1 kHz low-passed filtered. When presented in a way that gave them no chance to learn the filter characteristics they made 33.3% correct identifications. Many of the errors involved front vowels (those having a high Formant 2) being confused with back vowels (which often have F2 and F1 fused at 1 kHz or less). When the samples were preceded by a redundant precursor sentence filtered in the same way as the vowel samples, listeners raised their correct identifications to 50.1% but there was an increase in "hyper-correction" errors, i.e., where back vowels were identified as front vowels. This may provide clues as to how listeners "correct" distorted signals.

Dealing with a personal dilemma? Instead of giving yourself advice from your own point of view, pretend that a friend is giving you wise words.
That's right — talk to yourself, and refer to yourself in third person.
A study in Psychological Science finds that we have a bias in ourselves when it comes to wise reasoning.
"We call the bias Solomon's Paradox, after the king who was known for his wisdom, but who still failed at making personal decisions," said Igor Grossmann, Ph.D., of the University of Waterloo in Canada. He conducted a series of experiments along with Ethan Kross, Ph.D., from the University of Michigan.
They asked participants in monogamous romantic relationships, to think about a theoretical issue in which the other person cheated. Then they asked them questions about the fictional scenario. The questions were designed to tapped into wise reasoning, which is the ability to recognize the limits of one's own knowledge, search for a compromise, consider the perspectives of others, and recognize the possible ways in which the scenario could unfold.
When people were asked to weigh in on their own issue, they made less-wise choices. But when they took the position of a friend giving advice to someone who had been cheated on (or had cheated on the other person), they made wiser choices.

This Just In: Wine Goes with Art Openings
April 13, 2009 by Marion Maneker
Newsweek discovers the unexpected connection between art and the wine industry
The struggling art world, long supported by prospectors living off the financial bubble, is looking for new ways to survive. For galleries fighting to stay in the game, the mission now is to attract new audiences and expand the demographics of collectors. One way to do that is to link art more directly with a fun and fast-paced lifestyle. "This comes out of a desire to tap into similar client databases with the assumption that those who consume wine are likely to purchase art and vice versa," says Gabe Suk, senior representative in Asia for the wine auction company Hart Davis Hart.
In London, "pop up" bars in gallery spaces and late-night art openings have injected a youthful atmosphere into the sometimes staid gallery scene. GSK Contemporary at Royal Academy of the Arts in London staged a series of late-night openings earlier this year, and also employed the hip East End restaurant and cabaret club Bistrotheque to set up a pop-up eatery called Flash inside its Burlington House gallery. In addition, it installed a neon "art bar" in one of its 18th-century paneled rooms. "We're looking at someone in his late 20s or early 30s who is creative, on the scene and wants to call himself a collector," explains Tally Beck, director of Red Gate Gallery in Beijing. "The target now is the new collector."

The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid
Our Products: American West > The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid
"The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid" by the James-Younger Gang.
The gang was a legendary 19th century band of American outlaws that included Frank & Jesse James. The final act in the history of the James-Younger Gang was the famous Northfield, Minnesota raid. The target was the First National Bank of Northfield, located far outside of the gang's usual territory, which previously had included only the South and the Border States.
Frank and Jesse James, Cole, Jim and Bob Younger, Charlie Pitts, Clell Miller, and Bill Chadwell took the train to St. Paul and Minneapolis at the beginning of September 1876. They divided into two groups, one going to Mankato, Minnesota and the other to Red Wing, on either side of Northfield. They purchased horses and scouted the terrain around the town. On September 7, 1876, at 2 p.m., they attempted to rob the bank. Three outlaws entered the bank, and the other five stood guard outside. The citizens realized a robbery was in progress and took up arms. Shooting from behind cover, they poured a deadly fire on the outlaws, killing Miller and Chadwell, and wounding the Youngers (particularly Bob, who suffered a shattered elbow). They also shot Bob Younger's horse. One of the outlaws shot a bystander dead. Inside the bank, cashier Joseph Lee Heywood refused to open the safe, and was murdered in cold blood for his resistance. The infamous failure of the raid is celebrated every year in Northfield as Defeat of Jesse James Days.
The surviving outlaws rode out of town and took to the woods. After several days of dodging the pursuing Minnesotans, who had joined posses and picket lines by the hundreds, the gang had only reached the western outskirts of Mankato. They decided to split up. (Despite persistent stories to the contrary, Cole Younger told interviewers that they all agreed to the decision.) The Youngers and Pitts remained on foot, moving west, until finally they were cornered near Madelia, Minnesota. In the gunfight that followed, Pitts was killed and the Youngers wounded further. The Youngers surrendered, and pleaded guilty to murder in order to avoid execution.
The James brothers, on the other hand, secured horses and fled west across southern Minnesota, turning south just inside the border of the Dakota Territory. In the teeth of hundreds of pursuers and a nationwide alarm, they successfully returned to Missouri. The James-Younger Gang, however, was no more.

Of all the fantasy novels that I have read recently (and I have read A LOT), I have no qualms in saying that Sword and Verse has the most intriguing premise bar none. I mean, come on - a kingdom where literacy is banned? Where education is not a right but a privilege granted to only the most powerful? Where the one who will teach the prince and heir to the throne is a slave - a slave treated well, but a slave nonetheless? And if you're still not convinced... this book also has elements of mythology woven in to its storyline! Sounds amazing, right!?
I'm not going to lie - despite my initial excitement, the first few chapters of Sword and Verse were not the easiest to read. I found them a little bit boring, but more than that, it was a struggle making sense of the decisions Raisa and Prince Mati, our main characters, made. I initially found their characters immature, and I had a hard time believing that they were truly in love because they profess it so early on! I also found it difficult to like Prince Mati because feel like I didn't get to know him like Raisa knows him. The first 20-25% of the book read more like a love story than a fantasy novel, and not that there is anything wrong with that, but it's just not what I signed up for, if you get what I mean.
I'd like to point out, however, that the love between Raisa and Prince Mati isn't exactly insta-love though it may seem like it. It's just that I feel like their relationship started and developed (though they didn't exactly realize it) as they grew up and learned the Language of the Gods together as tutor-in-training and heir apparent respectively... and thus before the happenings of the book. As a result, we weren't exactly privy to it. I do think that it would have been much better if we got more of the 'before' - how Raisa and Prince Mati met, how they became friends, and how they learned to trust each other.
Okay, folks, so I know that the last few paragraphs might have made you decide to pass on this book, but DON'T LISTEN TO ME... because as I read on, well damn, the book GOT SO MUCH BETTER. (So much better that I needed to express myself in all caps!) Remember how I thought Raisa was an immature character? Nope, I couldn't be more wrong. She wasn't immature - she simply was just a young girl who was distracted in love. Also, my previous misgivings of how Sword and Verse seemed more of a love story than a fantasy novel? Uh-huh - I was proven wrong too! The latter part of the book gave due focus to this beautiful world she has created, and I also want to take a moment to laud how expertly MacMillan developed Raisa into a believable character that you root for and someone you want to succeed!
Raisa is not your quintessential fantasy heroine. She's not brash and outspoken; and she's not a skilled fighter. This doesn't mean that she isn't any less strong though - Raisa uses her intellect and her wit to win battles, and these are what make her a force to be reckoned with. The most difficult of decisions and tasks were thrust to Raisa, and since Raisa had no one who can guide her, everything she did she had to do herself - she stood up, dusted her hands, and took action. I also liked the fact that MacMillan portrayed Raisa as a girl that everyone she can relate to - she gets upset, she sometimes makes the wrong decisions, she sometimes lets her feelings get the best of her... her character is as realistic as they come.
Lyra, you are giving me hope for all these books people have DNF'd or not really cared for! THANK YOU! Haha. I really want to read this one, but have heard similar things to what you stated early on in your review.
I am so glad you ended up really enjoying this one despite those things! I think I can handle them bc I know about them going in. I'm excited to meet Raisa! She sounds great after we don't see her so lovestruck. But then again, if she's a teen it actually makes sense!
Now I'm really excited to read this. Thanks Lyra!
I'm glad to see you enjoyed this! I'd seen so many mediocre reviews of it that I was getting worried. And I'm happy to hear the main character is more of an intellectual badass than a physical one!
I (Sasha) am in the middle of reading this one. I've been reading it for a while because I don't like to read on an ereader, but also because sometimes the book is not the MOST exciting. I mean, I do really like it, but the beginning of the book was, like you said, more of a love story than a fantasy novel. I'm hoping I can finish it soon, though!
It seems like its a general consensus that the beginning of the romance could have been better developed, but I'm glad that you enjoyed the rest of the book like I did! I especially found the mythology that was woven into the story really interesting.


The Special Assistant to Akwa Ibom State Governor on Entertainment Industry, David Sergeant (Utang Akwa Ibom) has announced plans for Ibom Easter Fiesta on Easter Monday.
He made the announcement rising from the meeting of the state entertainment working committee held in his office in Uyo on Thursday, April 11, 2019.
The Governor's aide called on Akwa Ibom people to turn out en-mass to Ibom Plaza from on Easter Monday, April 22 by 7pm to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ thousands of years ago and the re-election of Governor Udom Emmanuel in the last gubernatorial.
According to Mr David, 'we have many reasons to celebrate, when the dice was cast and we took our stand with Udom Emmanuel in the tussle for the hilltop mansion, some people laughed at us, if not for God showing himself at the polls, we would not have had a reason to host this year's Easter Fiesta, which is the 4th in the 4 – year first term of Governor Emmanuel' , he said.
Speaking further, Utang said gospel musicians in the state led by State Chairman of Fellowship of Gospel Ministers of Nigeria (FOGMON), Pastor Bobby Frigga will grace the stage with songs of praise and thanksgiving.
The annual event remains open to all and this edition promises to be power packed.
Mr Sergeant called on individuals and corporate bodies in the state to catch and cash in on the event which is attended by thousands and reaches millions via traditional and social media.

An evening with Call the Midwife's Dr Turner
The Queen's Nursing Institute will be hosting 'An Evening with Stephen McGann' at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, London. He will speak about his life, his family, his role as Dr Turner and his passion for healthcare, explains the QNI's Matthew Bradby.
The book Call the Midwife has been one of the unexpected literary and television sensations of the past few years.
It has tapped into the popular fascination for learning about social history and shines a light on that era soon after the end of the Second World War and the birth of the National Health Service.
Perhaps the success of the programme is partly due to the desire to find out more about the world of our parents and grandparents, to see Britain as they saw it, where rationing and national service were still the norm.
It's also a desire to learn about people living in adversity and meeting the old and new challenges of life, birth and death in the East End of London, slowly recovering from the effects of the Blitz.
One of the central characters in the programme is Dr Turner, the taciturn but compassionate family doctor who shares the duties of treating his many complex patients with the dedicated community nurses and midwives of Nonnatus House.
Dr Turner is played by the hugely talented actor, Stephen McGann, a member of that famous acting dynasty from Liverpool. Immersing himself in the part of Dr Turner, Stephen has become fascinated by the history of healthcare during the early years of the NHS. Antibiotics were in their infancy and the side effects of new drugs were poorly understood, leading to tragedies such as that caused by Thalidomide, a central drama in the most recent series.
On 27th November the Queen's Nursing Institute will be hosting 'An Evening with Stephen McGann' at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, London. He will speak about his life, his family, his role as Dr Turner and his passion for healthcare, nursing and midwifery, in fact and in fiction.
There will be an opportunity to meet Stephen and wine and refreshments are also included at the event.
I have seen Stephen provide an evening's entertainment like this for another charity and was moved by his keen interest in social history and his respect and admiration for the midwifery, medical and nursing professions.
His stories and anecdotes about the series (which is written by his wife Heidi Thomas) are completely absorbing and he is a wonderful entertainer.
Tickets are available via the QNI's website and we look forward to welcoming you to what will be a fascinating evening. All funds raised will go to support the QNI's charity appeal, supporting working and retired nurses today and in the future.

Why Should Any Man Be Allowed to Buy a Printing Press and Disseminate Pernicious Opinions?
Vladimir Lenin? Winston Churchill? George Riddell? H. L. Mencken? Fictional?
Dear Quote Investigator: I was thumbing through The Oxford Dictionary of Political Quotations to try and find a good saying about freedom of the press and I was stunned to see this hostile sentence [OPQ]:
As to freedom of the press, why should any man be allowed to buy a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the government?
These words were attributed to Winston Churchill based on a 1984 biography by Piers Brendon [WPB]. But these same words were attributed to Vladimir Lenin in another collection of quotations I read recently and that is why I was astounded. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the book. Now I am starting to doubt my memory. Could you research this quote?
Quote Investigator: Thanks for a fascinating puzzle. Indeed, most of this sentence does appear as part of a longer passage that is attributed to Vladimir Lenin in a famous compilation published in 1942 called "A New Dictionary of Quotations on Historical Principles from Ancient and Modern Sources Selected and Edited by H. L. Mencken". The name Nikolai Lenin is used instead of Vladimir Lenin in Mencken's reference work [NQL]:
Why should freedom of speech and freedom of the press be allowed? Why should a government which is doing what it believes to be right allow itself to be criticized? It would not allow opposition by lethal weapons. Ideas are much more fatal things than guns. Why should any man be allowed to buy a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the government?
NIKOLAI LENIN: Speech in Moscow, 1920
QI has traced this expression back to a diary entry that was written in 1920 by George Riddell who was a powerful newspaperman and close friend of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom David Lloyd George. Riddell later became the 1st Baron Riddell. The text in Mencken's reference is very similar to the text in Riddell's diary, but it is not identical.
Riddell mentioned both Churchill and Lenin in a crucial passage of his diary. But QI believes that Riddell was describing a speech by Lenin and not the words of Churchill. Hence, QI thinks that the ascription to Churchill is almost certainly incorrect.
In 1934 Riddell published "Lord Riddell's Intimate Diary of the Peace Conference and After 1918-1923" about the period of the Paris Peace Conference after World War I. This work contained an entry dated June 12, 1920 that told of a meeting between the author and Winston Churchill during which Riddell recounted a speech he asserted was delivered by Vladimir Lenin [RDP]:
I told Winston of Lenin's speech, in which he said that the day of pure democracy was finished and that freedom of speech and the freedom of the Press were its two chief characteristics. "Why should these things be allowed?" he went on. "Why should a Government which is doing what it believes to be right allow itself to be criticised? It would not allow opposition by lethal weapons. Ideas are much more fatal things than guns. And as to the freedom of the Press, why should any man be allowed to buy a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the Government?"
The wording above is potentially ambiguous. QI believes that the word "he" in the phrase "he went on" referred to Lenin, and the text enclosed in quotes was Riddell's representation of Lenin's speech. However, others apparently believe that the quoted text was being said by Churchill. Hence, a dual ascription occurs in modern times.
The quote given in Mencken's book and in many later works differs somewhat from the passage in Riddell's diary. Consider the initial sentence:
Why should freedom of speech and freedom of the press be allowed?
This phrase does not appear in Riddell's diary; rather, it has been synthesized using Riddell's prefatory comment and then pre-pended to the quote and credited to Lenin.
This is the earliest cite QI has located for this quote. Its accuracy hinges on the memory and fidelity of Riddell. Researchers have been unable to find this speech in Lenin's papers or collected works. Yet, there is evidence that Lenin expressed antipathy toward "freedom of the press" in the 1920 time-frame. In 1921 Lenin wrote a letter to G. Myasnikov that indicated the press would be purchased and used for advantage by capitalists [VLP]:
All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake "public opinion" for the benefit of the bourgeoisie.
This is a fact.
No one will ever be able to refute it.
And what about us?
Can anyone deny that the bourgeoisie in this country has been defeated, but not destroyed? That it has gone into hiding? Nobody can deny it.
Freedom of the press in the R.S.F.S.R., which is surrounded by the bourgeois enemies of the whole world, means freedom of political organisation for the bourgeoisie and its most loyal servants, the Memisheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries.
This is an irrefutable fact.
The bourgeoisie (all over the world) is still very much stronger than we are. To place in its hands yet another weapon like freedom of political organisation (= freedom of the press, for the press is the core and foundation of political organisation) means facilitating the enemy's task, means helping the class enemy.
Here are additional selected citations in chronological order. In 1934 Lord Riddell's diary was published with the excerpt given earlier in this article. In 1942 H. L. Mencken's New Dictionary of Quotations was published with the excerpt given above.
In 1947 the National Association of Broadcasters in the United States published a book titled "Broadcasting and the Bill of Rights" that contained a version of the quote and attributed it to Lenin [NAB]:
The idea is expressed, also, in a statement by Lenin, made in a speech in Moscow, in 1920: "Why should freedom of speech and freedom of the press be allowed? Why should a government which is doing what it believes to be right allow itself to be criticized? It would not allow opposition by lethal weapons. Ideas are much more fatal things than guns. Why should any man be allowed to buy a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the government?" To one who believes in this concept of freedom of speech, even present-day regulation of radio broadcasting is regarded as a bold and questionable experiment.
In 1948 the quotation appeared in a Canadian newspaper in Lethbridge, Alberta. Reproducing the quote and ascribing the words to Lenin was popular in articles expressing anti-communist sentiments. Here is part of the introduction to the saying [LLA]:
Everyone knows that Russia colors her news to suit herself and that any new ideas or any true stories which might possibly harm the Communist regime are trodden out of sight. Nevertheless it is interesting to know that such a dictatorial treatment of the press, an agency for truth still as free as air in democratic nations, was first advocated by one of the first and certainly most powerful Russian exponents of Communism, none other than Lenin. Here is what the founder of the present scourge said:
Why should freedom of speech and freedom of the press be allowed? Why should a government which is doing what it believes to be right allow itself to be criticized? …
The quotation and its crediting to Lenin have been controversial for decades. In 1970 a trace was attempted by Morris Kominsky who reported his results in the book "The Hoaxers" [MKH]. Kominsky wrote that he traced the words back to a speech given by the United States Solicitor General Simon E. Soboleff that appeared in the periodical Nieman Reports in 1956. When Soboleff was contacted he indicated that he had "read it somewhere" but was unable to provide a source citation. Kominsky was not satisfied, and he used the title "Lenin Fabrication, No. 18" for the section that described his investigation.
In 1984 a biography of Winston Churchill by Piers Brendon was published. The work attributed a sentence of the remarks to Churchill instead of Lenin [WPB]:
The British Gazette feigned independence in order to make its official propaganda more plausible. Churchill was never really to understand the role of newspapers as fourth estate of the realm. 'As to freedom of the press,' he remarked dismissively, 'why should any man be allowed to buy a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the government?' Such views and such behaviour during the general strike commended Churchill to west end theatre audiences — he received a warm ovation when attending a musical.
In 1989 the ascription to Lenin was again questioned in the book "They Never Said It" [NSL]. The authors recounted the efforts of Kominsky as reported in his 1970 book and suggested that the quote was not said by Lenin.
Lastly, in 2007 The Oxford Dictionary of Political Quotations credited Winston Churchill with a sentence from the quotation as shown at the beginning of this article.
In conclusion, QI thinks that this quotation probably originated with a diary entry dated June 12, 1920 that was recorded by George Riddell. The entry portrayed a meeting between Riddell and Winston Churchill during which a speech by Vladimir Lenin was described. Quotation marks were used by Riddell when reciting Lenin's speech, but the accuracy of the words is not clear because of the lack of independent collaborative evidence. QI thinks the ascription of part of the speech to Churchill is incorrect and stems from pronoun ambiguity.

A Powys householder who thought he had a cheap way to get rid of his decorating waste after home improvements discovered dumping rubbish in the county can be very expensive.
The clueless DIY expert left an easy to follow paint trail from his fly-tipped waste back to his own front door resulting in a £400 fine.
Powys County Council's had received a complaint from a resident about dumped DIY material in three black bin bags in a community wood in Gurnos, Lower Cwmtwrch, Ystradgynlais.
When an officer from the council's waste management team investigated they soon realised they didn't have to be Sherlock Holmes to track down the culprit. One of the bags had split and white paint and left a 150-yard trail from the woodland area, across a cycle path and down the street and literally straight to the front door of the suspect.
The resident was interviewed under caution and issued with a £400 fixed penalty notice after admitting the offence.

Q: Transfer of ownership of Windows 7
Possible Duplicate:
When reinstalling Windows 7, does the language, version, architecture (64-bit or 32-bit) or source (OEM, retail, or MSDN) matter?

I am thinking of purchasing a copy of Windows 7 via either ebay or GumTree. I am unsure as to how the product key works.
A close friend of mine is warning me against buying it from ebay as he is suggesting that once it has been used, the operating system registers itself on microsoft servers using the serial number of the motherboard of the system where it has been installed. This means once installed on one machine you wont be able to install it on another machine.
Now i am struggling to believe that an operating system can only be installed on one machine. Can someone please explain exactly how this works. I can see a lot of copies being sold on Ebay which are used. I used the 'Ask a question' option and the majority of the users are saying that i should be able to use it.
If someone buys Windows 7 from the shop, installs it on his PC but then decides that he wants to sell it can he not sell it? Will the person buying it not be able to use it? Does the person selling it have to somehow unregister it first? What do i need to look out for if buying it from Ebay?
Thanks

< Past LSAT Explained
The February 2002 LSAT
2 Games (Analytical Reasoning)
3 Arguments (Logical Reasoning)
4 Reading Comprehension
SummaryEdit
Indications are that most test forms of the February 2002 LSAT included an experimental (unscored) third section. Be aware, however, that LSAC often administers a few selected forms with identical scored sections, but with their experimental sections in a different location. Ratings of this administration placed its difficulty in line with that of recent exams.
Games (Analytical Reasoning)Edit
The first game was of a type that has been a staple of the LSAT's makers for years. This so-called "birthday" game involved deciding in what order bands would perform.
The second game featured another, and more difficult, staple of the test-makers: a distribution game. In this one, six campers were buying at least one of three pieces of equipment. Those who noted that the clues primarily had implications for the number of items each camper purchased were able to recognize it as a distribution game, and make a host of deductions that gave virtually complete information about four of the six campers. Those who missed the deductions found this game particularly time-consuming and frustrating.
In the third game, deductions were once again crucial to working the questions well, along with a useful and flexible diagram. Six teachers each taught one of three languages, at one of two schools. Having an efficient system for representing which teachers taught the same languages and which taught at the same school was crucial, as test-takers were often required to sort through multiple possible scenarios to arrive at their answers.
Most students of the exam recognized the final game as one of the more difficult two, although superficially it appeared similar to the first one. Here there were five positions, each one of which held one of three types of hats. Familiarity with conditional clues and their deductions was crucial here, as test-takers were asked to work several quite involved examples to arrive at their answers.
Arguments (Logical Reasoning)Edit
Any student familiar with the LSATs administered in the past two years should not have been surprised by the arguments sections on this February's exam, which continued the trend of having a different mix of questions than was common before the 2000 testing year. The writers of the exam continue to use slight variations on the types of questions that have historically been the staple of the LSAT.
Reading ComprehensionEdit
Passage topics included the role of African American women in building the Baptist church, environmental law and the regulation of industry in the Netherlands, the use of superconductors in medical imaging technology, and a discussion of the way oral works of art are misunderstood and marginalized by contemporary scholars. In all, the subject matter, questions, and structures of all these passages fit quite closely with past Reading Comprehension sections, with an ever increasing emphasis on questions that require test-takers to draw strongly supported conclusions from the passage material. The increased emphasis on this section of reasoning skills over the simple ability to identify fair paraphrases of passage material makes exposure to these types of questions in particular all the more important for those who intend to take the LSAT in the near future.

"Teach him to harpe with his nayles sharpe"
-Kyng Horn, 13th century
The harp is one of the most ancient types of stringed instruments. It was important in pre-Christian cultures and still survives today in many forms all over the world. Harps use open strings exclusively, thus the range of each is determined by the number of strings. In the Middle Ages strings were made from twisted animal gut (usually from sheep), although horse hair and even silk were used as well.
Each string of the harp is attached to a wooden peg or metal pin. Strings are tuned by adjusting these pegs or pins. Since tuning was diatonic, only one mode could be used at a time.
According to the Laws of Wales (twelfth century), the three items indispensable to a gentleman were his harp, his cloak, and his chessboard, while the three proper things for any man to have in his house were a virtuous wife, his cushion on his chair, and his harp in tune.
Due to the lack of a notation system, little is known about how the harp was used, how it accompanied troubadour melodies and what kind of preludial and interludial material might have been performed. Players relied on memory and improvisation.
The harp had an important role in legend and folklore. It not only was the instrument assigned to King David, but also was credited with supernatural powers which could destroy the feynde's myght.
The Romanesque harp was developed in the eleventh through thirteenth centuries. One of Musica Antiqua's harps is based on a late twelfth century English Bible illumination. It has twenty gut strings, a range of almost three octaves (f to d3), is thirty inches tall, and is ideally suited to accompany minstrel, troubadour and trouvere songs. The brass strung clarsach replica was made by Tim Hobrough of Scotland.

For the investment in planning time, you will get a savory, healthy pot of black beans that are versatile to serve. These beans are savory, not spicy. If you want spicy, you will need to add heat to the recipe.
Put the ham shank and 4 cups of water in Instant Pot, add lid, press Meat button and set time at 35 minutes. Pot will take 5 minutes to come to pressure and then cook for 35 minutes. Either do a quick release of pressure or allow the Instant Pot to cool down normally based upon how much time you have. When the contents are cool enough, transfer the water and shank to a bowl, cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator.
Remove the ham shank and liquid from the refrigerator. With a spoon, skim off and discard all hardened fat that has floated to the top of the water. Remove the ham shank to a cutting board. Trim off all meat from the bone. Trim the red meat into bite size pieces, making sure to trim off all visible fat. Feed the fat to the dog.
Stir, add lid, press Beans/Chili button and set time to 25 minutes and walk away. (The Instant Pot will take about 15 minutes to come to pressure and then cook for 25 minutes.) This will result in a firm black bean. If you want your beans on the softer side, set the time to 30 minutes.
When beeps done, throw a dishtowel over the top of the pot and do a quick pressure release. Remove the bones and discard. Taste the beans for softness and salt. Cook a few minutes more if you want the beans softer. Add salt to taste. Insert an immersion blender and zap the beans a few very short times to thicken the beans a little.
How long would you soak the beans? Overnight?
Normally soaking at least 8 hours. You can also do a quick soaking by pressure cooking the beans in Instant Pot for 8~9 minutes. Please drain the water to remove the indigestible sugar.
Thanks for the good tip about quick soaking especially the water drain.
Another tip for beans: 1/2 tsp baking soda added to the presoak water will soften the skins.

Korn Biography and Profile
Korn 2013. Sébastien Paquet -Wikipedia Creative Commons.
By Tim Grierson
Korn's Origins:
Korn will forever be linked with their spearheading of the so-called "nu metal" movement, a more accessible variation of metal that emphasized hooks and melodies over imposingly dense arrangements or screamed, unintelligible vocals. The band formed in the early part of the 1990s in Bakersfield, California, and originally consisted of five members: singer Jonathan Davis, bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu, guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer, drummer David Silveria, and guitarist Brian "Head" Welch.
An Unsettling Debut:
In 1994, the band released their self-titled debut. Korn found Davis expressing his alienation in often-upsetting terms, incorporating low groans and demonic recitations of childhood nursery rhymes to suggest a society's loss of innocence. His words were matched by the band's metallic guitar textures, although on a track like "Shoots and Ladders," Korn also wielded unconventional instruments (such as bagpipes) to unsettling effect. While there was unquestionably an immaturity in the group's approach to their disturbing messages, Korn set into motion the sound and themes the band would refine during their career.
Picking on Mr. Rogers:
While Korn was not a massive success, the band didn't let its lack of commercial impact inform their follow-up. If anything, 1996's Life Is Peachy was even darker than its predecessor. Again, Davis juxtaposed happy childhood images with enraged adult angst, notably on "Mr. Rogers," a song about the famous children's television host. Notably, Life Is Peachy also brought the band's interest in rap music to the fore with their cover of Ice Cube's "Wicked." Despite its hostile, moody material, Life Is Peachy hit the Top 10 of Billboard's album chart, suggesting that there was an audience for Korn's brand of misanthropy.
Korn Hit the Mainstream:
Korn made their breakthrough on 1998's Follow the Leader. Though still working in a metal vein, Korn further emphasized hip-hop elements in their music – particularly with their rhythm section and keyboard sound effects – to produce a rap-rock amalgam of the two genres. Davis was still angry on Follow the Leader, but his tortured howls were smoothed down slightly by the brighter hooks in songs like "Freak on a Leash" and "It's On." Signaling the ascendance of the nu-metal/rap-rock era, Follow the Leader also included a duet with Fred Durst, the frontman of Limp Bizkit, the period's other significant rap-rock group.
Family Values Tour:
With Follow the Leader a major success, Korn launched a festival concert series called the Family Values Tour that year. Hoping to bring together the best rap and metal acts, the first Family Values Tour featured Korn, Ice Cube and Limp Bizkit. Since 1998, the tour has been an almost-annual event, taking its longest break between 2001 and 2006. Subsequent editions have included Puddle of Mudd, Stone Temple Pilots, Deftones and Filter, and collections of live performances from the tours have been released as CDs and DVDs.
Capitalizing on Success:
Now embraced by the mainstream, Korn took full advantage, releasing their next album, Issues, only 15 months after Follow the Leader. Although a commercial hit as well, Issues lacked the spark that made Follow the Leader such an artistic leap forward. Focusing less on rap-rock and staying true to their metal roots, Korn didn't necessarily break any new ground on Issues, though that probably helped on the charts, as three singles, such as "Falling Away From Me," enjoyed strong airplay.
Korn in a Shifting Musical Landscape:
Korn wouldn't release another new album until 2002. By the time Untouchables hit shelves, the mainstream music landscape had shifted away from nu-metal toward moody, atmospheric rock. Reflecting the changing sonic landscape of the early 21st century, Untouchables completely did away with hip-hop rhyming and rhythms, favoring eerie tones that sometimes recalled industrial-rock artists like Nine Inch Nails. Korn had lost a little of their late-'90s popularity, but "Here to Stay" and "Thoughtless" demonstrated the band still had some significant juice on the singles charts.
Going Back to the Basics:
As when they put out Issues hot on the heels of Follow the Leader, 2003's Take a Look in the Mirror came out 17 months after Untouchables. Representing a back-to-basics consolidation of their strengths, Take a Look in the Mirror played like a more mature, sophisticated version of their self-titled debut. Mainstream rock audiences still embraced Korn, but the band's place in the zeitgeist had long ago been given away to exciting new groups on the horizon. For a band who started off flaunting their shockingly antisocial lyrics, Korn, ironically, had become respected industry veterans.
Major Shakeups:
Before Korn would record their next studio album, three events would occur. The first was that the band released a best-of compilation, Greatest Hits, Vol. 1. The second was that the band ended their relationship with their longtime label, Epic, and moved to Virgin Records. But the most important of all was the announcement that guitarist Brian Welch was leaving the band because of his conversion to Christianity. Taken together, these three developments helped to indicate that Korn had closed the door on one era of their career and were moving hesitantly into a new one.
Commercial Decline:
2005's See You on the Other Side found the band flirting with sleek accessibility by hiring the pop producing team known as the Matrix, but the album failed to reverse the gradual commercial decline of the group's album sales. Drummer David Silveria exited the band after See You on the Other Side, and when Korn released their next album, only three of the group's original members were still on board. 2007's Untitled was considered both a critical and commercial letdown.
'Remember Who You Are':
Working with producer Ross Robinson, who had been behind the boards on Korn's first two albums, the band released their back to basics album Korn III - Remember Who You Are on July 13, 2010, which was their first album with new permanent member Ray Luzier on drums. During that same time, Korn were one of the headliners of Rockstar Mayhem tour.
Korn Embrace Dubstep:
For Korn's 2011 album The Path to Totality they collaborated with dubstep and electronic dance music (EDM) producers Skrillex, Excision, Datsik, Noisia, Kill the Noise, and 12th Planet. The resulting album mixed metal and electro music producing a sound frontman Jonathan Davis called "future metal." The first two album singles "Get Up!" and "Narcissistic Cannibal" were Korn's last songs to crack Billboard's Hot 100 chart.
'The Paradigm Shift' and Beyond:
On May 2, 2013, Korn revealed that Brian "Head" Welch had rejoined the band after an eight year absence and were working on their eleventh album with producer Don Gilmore [Linkin Park]. The resulting album, The Paradigm Shift, was released on October 8, 2013, on the same day Korn was inducted into the famous Hollywood Rockwalk. The new album combined Korn's heavy and melodic sensibilities to create a sound inspired by their Issues and Untouchables albums. The album received generally favorable reviews and debuted at number 8 on the Billboard 200 album chart. First album single "Never Never" was the Korn's first No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream rock singles chart. To celebrate Korn's 20th anniversary they performed their 1994 self-titled debut album in its entirety on their 2014 "Prepare for Hell" tour with Slipknot. Korn are currently working on their twelfth studio album.
Korn Members:
Jonathan Davis – lead vocals
Reginald "Fieldy" Arvisu – bass guitar
James "Munky" Shaffer – guitar
Brian "Head" Welch – guitar
Ray Luzier – drums
Essential Korn Album:
Even those who object to Korn's theatric gloom and metal riffs were swayed by Follow the Leader, a fruitful melding of commercial interests and brooding angst. Or perhaps it was simply that the band members were writing better songs: Tracks like "Freak on a Leash" wouldn't have had nearly as much power if they didn't feel like universal examinations of self-doubt.

Horses neigh to filming
Band of Horses' Ben Bridwell has had enough of being filmed from 17 angles during gigs. But asking fans to stop hasn't gone down well with them: Rosemary of SDDialedIn feels she's been singled out unfairly:
At first I took a few pictures, among the many people taking pictures. There were a few songs I recorded thinking I'd stick them on YouTube and whatnot, like I have with so many other bands before. About 8 songs into the set, BoH finally played "Funeral" which all the bros from Mission Beach and PB kept calling out for.
So there I am with my tiny Sony digital camera, capturing the song, and suddenly I realize I'm getting flipped off by the singer. While playing the super emotional song, "Funeral", he flip me off and mid song yells, "I see you recording me." I look around and at least 5 other people are taping him and he calls me out. Fuck you. I duck out and I am fucking outta there. There's nothing worse than a fucking whiny baby onstage. It wasn't bad enough that earlier in the set he complained about the sound and the mix, asking his band, "Should we keep playing?" Now he's gonna be a whiny bitch about me recording his shit. Fuck him. I was outta there.
It's interesting that Rosemary's response - which continues at some length - is hugely defensive. She says that she's taped other bands, put them up on YouTube, and even had "thank yous" from bands for the support, which is fine.
What's not fine is her response to being asked not to do it. If some people don;t mind you filming them, that doesn't mean that everyone is obliged to let you film them, and if you say you're doing it because you love the band, then surely you should respect their wishes if they ask you to stop. Rather than rush onto the internet and start calling your hero "a whiny bastard".
What's interesting is the way that, in the last decade, people have gone from trying to sneak cameras and tape recorders hidden in false penis pouches past bouncers, to viewing the recording of video and audio at gigs as something of a right.
You might suggest that, having paid for her ticket, Rosemary had every tight to tape the set if she wished. Ah:
Andrea and I scored free tickets to the show (Thank you, Owen!) and I sold off the ticket I had paid for, minus the service charges.
Bridwell has put his side:
"It was just scratching at the surface of what's happening to shows lately. Everybody's got a camera in their pocket, and they turn it on… it's become a little bit ridiculous, and it was just a bit unnerving, and [with] the situation with the show and everything, all the stars lined up and I got pissed off."
He added: "I don't know, is there no sanctity left for live performance with going to a show and seeing it with your own eyes and remembering it? Do you have to tape every second, or even just your favorite song? I understand it, but it's becoming annoying."
At the very least, you'd hope fans might exercise some discretion.
More from No Rock on band of horses, ben bridwell, youtube
At first I wasn't sure what to make of it, but the more I read and having watched the Youtube vid itself, I think BOH are definitely in the right.
Ben puts his points across really well in a Pitchfork interview- http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/44275-bohs-bridwell-talks-youtubers-new-album-sex-clubs
I am iof two minds here...
Could Ben have handled this in a far, far more mature fashion at the moment in question? Of course. He was indeed behaving like a spoiled artiste. Does it mean he didn't have a point? Nope.
I really, really like shooting shows. (Still photography, no flash ever. Rendering a musician blind, even for a moment, does seem a bit ungracious.) But before the show I always speak to both the artists and the venue to make sure it's okay. Generally musicians have been fine with me taking pictures, and if they aren't I don't. The ticket let's me in to see a (hopefully really good) show, but beyond that it's what the act and venue allow. I try not to forget that.
-Peter S., Portland, OR
I've never seen the attraction of filming shows on cameraphone. Maybe it's me being old and fumbly with technology, but I find that when I'm filming something, I'm not watching the actual event; I'm staring at a tiny screen, making sure everything's in shot. If I pay a day's wage to see a gig, I'd prefer to actually see it, rather than concentrate on getting footage of a fuzzy singing white blob to upload to Youtube.
Having said that, I'm glad this person whipped their phone out.


Elements and attributes for known vocabularies (HTML, SVG and MathML) are implicitly assigned to appropriate namespaces, according to the rules specified in the parsing algorithm. Elements in the HTML, SVG, or MathML namespaces may have an xmlns attribute explicitly specified, if, and only if, it has the exact value "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" (see namespace declaration). The attribute has absolutely no effect. It is basically a talisman. It is allowed merely to make migration to and from XHTML mildly easier. When parsed by an HTML parser, the xmlns attribute itself ends up in no namespace. Foreign elements are also not treated as being in another namespace and will have no effect except for displaying by default as inline elements. Namespaced prefixes are not allowed on HTML elements; a prefixed xmlns attribute cannot be used even if it is defined in the XHTML namespace. The XHTML namespace must be declared for HTML elements according to the rules defined by the Namespaces in XML specification. Namespaces must be explicitly declared. The xmlns attribute ends up in the "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns" namespace. Foreign elements can be used independently of HTML elements, as long as they are assigned to their own namespace. Declare HTML namespaces (or other namespaces) explicitly and do not prefix XHTML elements. Do not depend on the behavior of foreign namespaced elements in an HTML setting; if you need to include these, you will probably wish to set this foreign markup via CSS to display:none.
White space characters are not normalized. Unquoted attribute values are allowed. Fixed or default attribute values ...? White space characters are normalized to single spaces (unless attribute is of CDATA type?). Unquoted attribute values are not allowed. Default attribute values could conceivably be defined with a DTD. Create whitespace in attribute values which is already normalized (converted to single spaces). Always quote attribute values. Do not rely on defining default or fixed attribute values in a DTD (unless it matches HTML behavior).
In HTML, the title and textarea elements are parsed as RCDATA elements. (Note: The definition of RCDATA differs from that in SGML and there is no RCDATA in XML).

Space For Dreams
"Insight No. 5"
Bregenz, 29.11.19. Around one hundred people attended the fifth Einblick, or "insight", session at the Kunsthaus Bregenz on the invitation of the Bregenz Festival. The new work of music theatre composed by Alexander Moosbrugger, Wind, will receive its world premiere at the festival in summer 2020. Before then a number of other events will give people an opportunity to experience how a work of music theatre is created.
"Embracing the audience"
"It's not only the musical capabilities of an organ than inspire me in this composition, but also music between the Renaissance and the Baroque," Moosbrugger explained.
Performances by baritone and countertenor Hagen Matzeit, who is to sing the role of Poliphilo in Wind, and theorbo player Johannes Ötzbrugger helped give an increasingly clear sense of what the opera will sound like when finished.
An exclusive insight into what the theatre space may look like was provided by a discussion between dramaturge Olaf Schmitt and artist Flaka Haliti. She said she was intrigued by the idea of incorporating an organ in the designs. For the organist Moosbrugger, the ethereal tones of the organ have a special role to play in his compositions. In cooperation with the organ building workshop Rieger-Orgelbau, a Vorarlberg firm that exports worldwide, the plan is to hang organ pipes from the ceiling of the Workshop Theatre and thus "embrace the audience". Haliti pointed out that this idea might still be changed.
The festival's artistic director Elisabeth Sobotka and the Kunsthaus Bregenz director Thomas Trummer said at the beginning of the session: "We feel like mother and father of the Opera Studio. We're now looking forward very much to finding out what the design of the theatre space will be." As technical director of the production Christian Steinschaden noted, "Never before has a stage set – in this case a theatre space – consisted of an organ."
The next insight session is planned for spring 2020.
Enchanted gardens and fascinating buildings
The book on which the opera Wind is based is the enigmatic Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, which was first printed in Venice in 1499 and tells of dreams and their often extraordinary visions. Poliphilo's search for his beloved Polia leads him into enchanted gardens and fascinating buildings, which are evoked in the book in 172 woodcuts. These images as well as the descriptions of dreams have served as a rich source of inspiration for Flaka Haliti in her stage designs for the Workshop Theatre.
