Iranian-Canadian academic's death in Iran prison is a 'profound tragedy,' says U of L prof
Kavous Seyed-Emami was a visiting scholar at the University of Lethbridge in 2017

A colleague of Iranian-Canadian academic Kavous Seyed-Emami describes the professor's death in prison in Iran as a "profound tragedy."
Trevor Harrison is a professor of sociology at the University of Lethbridge. He sponsored Seyed-Emami when he came to the southern Alberta post-secondary institution on sabbatical from about August to mid-December of last year.
"He was a really interesting guy, very well read, very much a scholar. He had a quite eclectic set of interests from economics, politics, very much the environment, he was a very well-rounded sociologist," Harrison said.
'I think any of the number of us who had the occasion to meet him while he was over here are all feeling like it's a very big loss.' - Trevor Harrison
"And I have to say, just a really nice gentleman. He was a warm and engaging individual, very kind and just a wonderful person to meet."
Seyed-Emami was the managing director of the Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation, which seeks to protect Iran's rare animals.
His son, musician Raam Emami, tweeted that his father was arrested on Jan. 24, and that the news of his death was released to his mother, Maryam, on Friday.
"I still can't believe this," he wrote.
On Instagram, he added that authorities say his father committed suicide.
The news of my father's passing is impossible to fathom. Kavous Seyed Emami was arrested on Wednesday 24 January 2018, and the news of his death was released to my mom, Maryam, on Friday the 9th of February. I still can't believe this.—
Seyed-Emami presented a lecture to Lethbridge students in October, on ethnic identities and nationhood in Iran.
The lecture was presented by the Prentice Institute for Global Population and Economy at the university, which researches global impacts of demographic, economic and social issues.
Seyed-Emami's arrest was not announced in Iran, and his death was not confirmed by official sources.
Harrison met with Seyed-Emami on a number of occasions while he was in Alberta, and said that he, along with his wife and other colleagues, had the opportunity to dine at his house one night. The group ate Iranian food that Seyed-Emami prepared.
He said the news of the professor's passing leaves him "floored."
"I was absolutely devastated, I think I still am. I think any of the number of us who had the occasion to meet him while he was over here are all feeling like it's a very big loss, he's a fine person," he said.
Canada has no embassy in Iran. A spokesperson for Foreign Affairs told CBC News in an emailed statement that consular officials "are working to gather additional information and are providing assistance to the family of the Canadian citizen."

text: My book in progress advances parasitism as an ambivalent tactic in new media art and performance. Taken up as a mode of political and artistic intervention, the parasite figures a symptomatic response to the perceived impasses of radical politics in our current moment. Recovering the long-forgotten political potential at the heart of the paradigm, I show that parasitism, before it was appropriated in the realm of biology, was a mode of social performance, whereby those of lower birth gained access to privilege by simulating their complicity with the dominant order. The book explores how, in a neoliberal era in which social life is increasingly presented as an imposition on the liberal-capitalist state, digital and performance artists have "played" parasitism as a mode of subversive passing--a compromised and complicit imaginary of resistance forged by the system itself.

Why Wybone?
Here at Wybone we've been designing and manufacturing waste bins and waste management solutions for the last 44 years. Established in 1969 by Mr Charles Wyatt, we remain a family run business and like to think we know all there is to know about bins! But that doesn't mean we rest on our laurels, and we're always looking at the latest design and manufacturing techniques to make sure our waste bins stay ahead of the rest.
Wybone is headquartered in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, where we employ over 70 people from the surrounding area and further afield who all hand make every bin to order and to the highest standard. We're proud of the fact that we achieve all our manufacturing in the UK (which helps us decrease our carbon footprint!) and none of our materials are imported.
Talking of achievements, we are proud to hold industry standard ISO/BSI and Achilles accreditations that certify the high quality of all our work. We've also held the contract for the supply of sack holders to the NHS since 1998 and continue to supply them since we started making them in 1973.
We'd like to introduce you to the founder of Wybone Mr Charles Wyatt. Here are a few words he had to say about us: "In the forty years Wybone have been committed to the waste industry business, we have seen many changes. Wybone has kept up with these changes and now offer many varied designs for litter collection and recycling. I'm proud of our employees, many of whom have been with us for over 30 years, and we've grown to become a leading innovative manufacturer in the waste bin industry."

Blog written by Julia Clark, Class of 2013
Image: A Tribe Called Red performing at the Eiteljorg Museum
One of the central themes throughout this year's program has been impact. The thinking being, that if we don't have impact, and are not able to demonstrate and quantify our impact, both visitors and funding will dry up. So how can museums/history organizations have impact?
At a point in the three-week program when my mentor advised you start to lose steam, I got a tremendous boost in energy from the busy and varied day we spent on Friday, November 8. I felt the impact of three history organizations that day in ways worth noting and remembering.
The day started out with what I had expected to be fairly dull- statistics. James Chung from REACH Advisors pelted us, in his rapid delivery, what should have been kind of terrifying. The numbers show that if we don't change something soon, many history organizations may become history themselves in the not too distant future. But rather than feeling doomed, I felt inspired- the perspectives offered by REACH Advisors (importantly, from outside the history/museum field) give us something real and concrete to work with- the more we know about the problem(s), the more effectively we can work to address them. On that note, we headed out for some much-anticipated fieldtrips, having spent the entire rest of the week in the classroom.
The first stop was the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. While it would have been a welcome respite from thinking so much about history to go play in the fun spaces, we were headed for a more intense experience- the Power of Children exhibit. This space shares the story of three children – Anne Frank, Ruby Bridges, and Ryan White – who made a difference, and hopes to inspire present-day kids to know that they too can work towards positive change. The theater piece portraying Otto Frank, Anne's father, was incredibly moving, but it was not the place where I found a deeply personal connection. That was Ryan White's baby blanket. I have to admit that before going to the Children's Museum, I didn't really know who Ryan White was. I won't tell his story here- visit the museum's website for more, http://www.childrensmuseum.org/power-of-children/ryan/story. But Ryan was born just six months after I was, and died in 1990, when we were both 18 years old. In one of the cases of real objects (unusual at a Children's museum in my experience) was Ryan's soft, pastel crocheted baby blanket. So very much like my soft, pastel crocheted baby blanket I still keep on a chair in my bedroom. Impact.
The next stop was Conner Prairie, where the centerpiece of the evening was the Follow the North Star program (http://www.connerprairie.org/plan-your-visit/special-events/follow-the-north-star.aspx). In this program, you play the role of an escaping enslaved person in a highly dramatized hour-long experience. I expect that my background more in anthropology that history made me more like the regular person participating in this experience, so it was interesting to hear the detailed responses of my classmates to the program, but I have to say I found it to be an immersive and intense experience. In the early part of the program, you are yelled at, demeaned and told to never look up, never look a white person in the face. It sucks. I quickly found myself staying as still and quiet as possible, and trying to come up with answers to the questions I heard hurled at other participants, so I would not get yelled at again. About half way through the hour, we made it to the home of a Quaker family, where we were told we were safe (at least for a little while), and told we could look up. Hell, no, I wasn't going to look up! Just stay invisible. And I felt this at a very basic level, not intellectually. Even if this is not just like what enslaved people would have experienced in 1830s Indiana, I felt it. Perhaps this is how women living with domestic violence feel every day? Impact.
But tired and emotionally a bit overwhelmed, my evening was not over. After a conversation filled bus ride back to town, a small group of us went to one more event. The Eiteljorg Museum was celebrating the opening of their 2013 Contemporary Art Fellowship exhibition, RED (http://www.eiteljorg.org/explore/exhibitions/contemporary-art-fellowship), and followed their more tradition exhibit opening with an after-party with live music from A Tribe Called Red (http://atribecalledred.com), a native Producer/DJ crew who in their own words mix "traditional pow wow vocals and drumming with cutting-edge electronic music." In a room filled with a much younger crowd that almost any other museum would see at an exhibit opening, we danced to loud, creative and culturally relevant music. It was totally fun, and there was actually some learning going on, even if it was mostly subconscious. But mostly it was fun… for young adults…at a museum. Impact.
So is the future for museums and other history organizations scary? Absolutely. But maybe we can see James Chung's synthesis of the data as a wake-up call to start trying some risky, exciting, and cool new things. While I realize that the examples above are very individual, and I don't know if they will make me a better citizen of the world, making that personal connection to your visitors is a key first step. Museum can most definitely have impact if we are willing to try!

This year CSANR sponsored registration for several WSU students to attend the Tilth Conference. We will be posting reflections written by the students over the next several weeks. Please feel free to comment and give these students your feedback.
The Tilth Conference was a highly informative and welcoming experience to attend. As an organic agriculture undergraduate citing articles and extension publications, I find it rewarding to have the opportunity to meet the men and women doing the research. As an intern researching cover crops out of Pullman, I enjoyed the chance to discuss methods and results with the researchers doing similar work full time on a large scale. I found the information shared during the presentations by Nick Andrews and Doug Collins, both renowned for their work with cover crops, to be helpful in framing what I had seen firsthand. Their presentations also helped put my mind at ease knowing that even at the professional level, researchers are facing similar struggles to those that I encountered during my internship. Read more »

U.S. President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met privately Monday morning at the White House.
In remarks to the press before their meeting, Netanyahu pledged that Israel would never give up on the hope that Palestinians would some day seek peace with the Jewish state. Israel has a strong "willingness to make peace with any of its neighbors" who seek it, Netanyahu said.
"I want to make it clear. We haven't given up our hope for peace. We remain committed to the two-state solution," said the Israeli leader. "two states for two peoples, a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognizes a Jewish state."
The President said he and Netanyahu will talk about defense aid to Israel.
"This is going to be an opportunity for the prime minister and myself to engage in a wide-ranging discussion on some of the most pressing security issues that both our countries face," President Obama said. "It's no secret that the security environment in the Middle East has deteriorated in many areas, and as I've said repeatedly, the security of Israel is one of my top foreign policy priorities. And that's expressed itself not only in words, but in deeds," he asserted.
The two will discuss other topics such as the civil war in Syria, the rise of the Islamic State terror group, and the Iran nuclear deal, according to the President, who told the Israeli PM that both shared the resolve in wanting to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
The President added that the two will also talk about the ongoing violence in Israel and the West Bank. "A lot of work to do, with too little time," Obama said, after expressing his condolences to the Prime Minister over the death of former Israeli President Yitzhak Navon.
The body language of the two leaders remained serious and without smiles, according to reports.
Israel hopes to secure a boost in defense aid, with the goal of $5 billion dollars from the current $3 billion a year number.
The Israeli leader comes to Washington in the midst of a Palestinian terror campaign against his nation. On a daily basis, Palestinian jihadis have been targeting Israeli citizens and military personnel.

Unfair Attack on Cardinal Burke
The liberal Spanish periodistadigital.com slammed Cardinal Raymond Burke because on May 13th, while being in Fatima, he did not concelebrate with Pope Francis, but attended the mass within a group of pilgrims he was accompanying. According to Canon Law no priest is obliged to concelebrate.
A day later, Burke concelebrated with Leiria-Fátima Bishop Antonio Marto. Now periodistadigital.com complains that during the homily he prayed the rosary. The site quotes Bragança Bishop José Manuel Cordeiro who claimed that Burke's attitude "was an attempt against the criterion of an active, conscientious and fruitful participation at the liturgy".
The truth is more down-to-earth: Cardinal Burke prayed the rosary during the Portuguese homily because he does not understand this language.

The elevator.
Pumping heart of the city. Rising up, going down. Lifting both people and standards to the next level.
We are urban landscape transformers.
Cities are currently growing by a million people each week and will account for most of the world's population growth in the future. Global hyper-urbanization continues to drastically transform our way of living.
Often seen as products of pure convenience, elevators and escalators changed how buildings are constructed and created a revolution in city planning and urbanization. Elevators enabled engineers to start building skyscrapers in the early 1800s – in line with the industrial revolution – and this movement towards verticality has been gaining momentum ever since.
Building vertically is the only viable architectural response to hyper-urbanization – with the elevator as its main partner to vertically stretch the city and create new, quality living space.
A horizontal expansion of vertical living.
Mitsulift has a long history in elevators, escalators and moving systems at large. Founded in 1984, the company was born out of a Lebanese industrial family, starting as a reseller of products made by Japan's Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. After the end of the civil war, in 1992, all efforts are geared towards literally rebuilding Beirut from the ground up, which results in Mitsulift becoming the market leader in Lebanon by 1996.
In 2000 the Mitsulift Group starts a joint venture with Mitsubishi Electric, and spreads its expertise to developing countries most affected by hectic urbanization. Mitsulift becomes the region's leading company with operations in Syria, Greece, Cyprus, Jordan, Nigeria and Ghana, rolling out a development model that focuses on long-term local investment.
Reliable technology and know-how is key for emerging countries to provide infrastructures that will help cities absorb their growing population.
We enhance city living.
Conveying systems help people move effortlessly throughout the new cityscape. The capacity to build higher and concentrate more people in smaller areas enhances the social benefits of urban living – from uninterrupted motion and people dynamics to advances in employment, services and entertainment.
Not only smoothly moving up and down a building, but also crossing the city in one fluid flow. Strolling over moving walkways, passing a gently revolving door, we want to make urban life as easy as possible, while keeping our standards high.
The elevator as a reflection of life in modern cities. A space of both intimacy and anonymity, constantly in motion.
Skyrocketing team.
Just as Mitsulift's moving systems are at the pumping heart of buildings and cities, teamwork is at the heart of Mitsulift. Partners and team members make up the Mitsulift family.
All our departments work together like gearwheels in a clock. From consulting (Pre Sales) to choice and follow-up (Sales) to quality and expertise (Installation) to the cherry on the cake: a long-term relationship (After Sales).
We follow each project from the initial stage to the finishing touch, making the ride as smooth as possible – from the most private villa to the tower in the sky.
Every elevator deserves its own building.
Mitsulift loves a smooth ride for its clients, tailoring to each and everyone's personal style. We want our elevators to be an extension of your home or the finishing touch of an office building, moving up and down as the business flows. We are renowned for our contemporary design solutions, customizing to every possible wish. All of our elevators integrate smoothly in the design of the building, whether it's a private villa, a shopping mall or a new urban complex.
Enjoying the best of both worlds, we mix innovative and state-of-the-art Japanese technology with world-renowned Lebanese hospitality. It's where craftsmanship, precision and expertise meet attention to detail, know-how and dedication.
Top-notch technology meets sound safety.
All Mitsulift's conveying systems are compact in size, free up space and go low on the noise. Indoors and outside, 24/7, rain or shine, they are top-range performers. Sound, safe and easy to use, with clear signage, buttons and lighting – the technology of Mitsubishi Electric is supreme. Take, for example, the use of highly sophisticated Permanent Magnet (PM) motors to replace induction motors, reducing the size of both the traction machine and energy consumption. Or Mitsubishi Electric's application of breakthrough artificial intelligence technology to provide expert control systems for both elevators and escalators.
On top of that comes our special care and touch: think service, maintenance and, last but not least, safety. All our team members adhere to strict safety procedures and training to guarantee total security.
We create the elevator that people actually love to take.
Being significant is more important than being successful.
Our elevators' minimum waiting times are good for clients and the environment. Mitsulift carefully selects the best products available: high-end, with advanced technology, built to last, timeless and upgradable, including the greenest, most energy friendly machines out there. This is Life Cycle Assessment at its best. A win-win situation: for us, the people and the planet.
Vertical growth combined with a small carbon footprint, during production, installation and daily office life.

People grow older and people become ill; these are the primary reasons why hospitals and nursing facilities don't seem to run out of patients. These patients can't be handled well with just a few crew, thus coming up with the need to seek the services of more skilled individuals. These extra hands have a name, and they're called CNAs.
Before being officially named as CNA, you first have to enrol in a CNA training program. And this training has fees. Most training facilities in Albuquerque is known to offer $400, while steeply-priced programs amounting to $1000 is common in Albuquerque. If you decide not to get burdened by this sum of cash, go and look for a free CNA Training Program.
Medical establishments and even online educational facilities are known for providing free CNA classes. Typically, these medical centers and nursing facilities offer free classes with a goal of getting qualified employees which can benefit their company. All things considered, the expense of hiring new employees just offsets the training tuition. There are a few hospitals and nursing homes that require payback services from their graduates. You can also go to your local employment office anytime to be more knowledgeable concerning scholarship opportunities. They usually make this known to the vast majority of population. If you belong to a household with low-income, if you're unemployed or a military old soldiers, your state will give you the privilege of taking the training program without cost. This already is in effect to the majority of states like New Mexico for instance.
The list of free CNA training classes won't be complete without online learning facilities. With this system being so convenient, you have all the power to control your timetable and maximize your study time. Surely a must-try for all CNA hopefuls out there.Author: Paula Shelton

We had a great time last night. We ate at Hibachi Buffet and Grill. Charles ate all his ice cream. It's funny every time he will say "I want ice cream and cake". My baby is a big boy now. He knows what he wants to eat. This morning when I asked him what he's going to eat for breakfast he said "I want sticks", meaning he wants to eat chocolate wafer sticks that I bought at the Asian Store. It's almost out so I will get another jar of chocolate wafer sticks. Am glad he likes it.

Really good!! sinks in to my skin so nicely and definitely brightens and helps with moisture retention
This product gets great reviews but as yet I haven't experienced any results. My skin feels just as good after just using the Klairs unscented moisture toner so unsure as to the extra benefit of this. Will finish the bottle and see!

Pleasant Valley Golf & Country Club Description
Pleasant Valley Golf & Country Club is located amongst the mountains north of the city of Pattaya and is cooled by the breezes blowing across the golf course. The Khao Kheow National Park with lakes and waterfall are located only a few minutes drive from the club house. It's a great place for relaxation not only for golfers, but also for family members who like to enjoy the natural beauty of this Pattaya golf course.
Well manicured tee-boxes, fairways, and greens make for "pleasant" golfing conditions at Pleasant Valley Golf & Country Club. The Golf East designed course is more challenging than most other Pattaya golf courses. Several holes play alongside and through natural reed filled swamps and ponds that cross the fairways. Poorly hit golf balls often end up in these waste areas.
The par 5 12th hole is particularly memorable as a long 200 yard carry is required to put the ball in play off the drive. The finishing hole, a short 360 yard par 4 dog leg is also one of the better Pleasant Valley golf holes. Long hitters can go for the green as the fairway close to the green feeds balls down to the front fringe. Those going for the fairway should take care and use 3-wood off the tee to be sure not to hit into the water directly in front.
The course is easy to walk as most elevation changes are internal built up areas rather than larger natural hills that are found at nearby courses like Khao Kheow Country Club.
Modern facilities round out Pleasant Valley making the Pattaya golf course a good choice for most Pattaya golf packages.

Man, what a great week! Ok, to start off Elder and Sister Foster were just unbelievable – it was amazing. The spirit was so strong as he spoke with us and it was a very powerful meeting. Some of the topics he talked about were: the power of prayer, the importance of our missions, working with members, knowing that we are children of God, and a few others, and it was really, really good. Then he had a small meeting with all of us leaders about how to lead and how to love the people we serve so that part was great, too. Oh that's cool you saw the picture!
What? Clay has a girlfriend, what is up with that?!?!?! :) That's good to know that everyone is doing well though. Yes!! The missionaries had a baptism in our ward, that's fantastic!!! What's the boy's name? Andrew, go to some lessons with the missionaries at his house. Man, that sounds like there are a lot of fun Thanksgiving plans. I kind of wish they had a turkey bowl game here, but I don't think it's happening. Most of the members in our area are either going back to Mexico because their kids are out of school, or they are just taking it easy because Thanksgiving isn't a Mexican holiday, so it should be pretty chill. As of right now we just have one dinner appointment set up, but we'll probably end up with three or four. That's cool about Ensworth and MBA in the finals – hope we win! Send lots of pictures next week from all of Thanksgiving. So this week is the last week of the transfer so next Monday I'll know if I am staying or if I am leaving.
Right now we are actually teaching quite a few different families so it has been going great! One of them came to church yesterday for the first time and they really liked it. Oh, ok, so they have a huge super, super chubby, fat baby and all during church it was just getting passed around by all the members so they helped us out big time on that one, haha. The other two families we're teaching didn't come because one of them had sick kids (the Santos family), and the other family didn't come because they slept in. But we're still working and teaching them. We teach the Santos family with their neighbors, so there are like 10-12 people there. And they all just love my laugh, like it's unbelievable. If I start laughing at something little, then they all just start laughing and then they can't stop. It's super funny.
All is well though and I am loving my time here down in South Texas. Can't believe it's already turkey time, but it's all good. Best of luck to everyone playing in the turkey bowl and hopefully there are no serous injuries.
Amor y paz ("love and peace"),
Elder Christiansen

How to Measure Your Enclosure: A Step-by-Step Guide
Before we can build custom patio enclosures, we need some specific measurements. Fortunately, it's a simple process. Watch the video and/or follow these written instructions to get accurate measurements for your vinyl patio enclosure.
- Prepare
- Grab a tape measure, a pen, a piece of paper, and a trusted friend.
- Measure Section #1
- Approach the enclosure on the left side (section #1).
- First, measure the width.
- To measure your enclosure height, extend the tape measure from the very bottom to the tallest point. If your roof has an angle, measure the tallest side, then measure the shortest side to the tallest point.
- Measure Section #2
- Approach the midsection (side #2). This is the longest section.
- Measure the width from one end to the other, including the door if it doesn't come with a glass insert.
- Measure the maximum height from the ground to the very top.
- Measure Section #3
- Approach the right side of the enclosure (section #3).
- Once again, measure the maximum width.
- Measure and record the maximum height.
- Submit Your Measurements
- Fill out our Free Ballpark Form at enclosureguy.com. (make a link)
- You will attach the photos you have taken and email them to email@example.com. Please put your name in the subject of the email.

Last Sunday, the beautiful Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills was awash in all things pink for the Ninth Annual Pink Pump Affair – The Power of Women. This event raises much needed awareness and funds for the Special Needs Network.
I was very honored to be invited to speak on the panel and share my story about being a #femalefounder with the engaging crowd. The panel was moderated by lawyer, and TV personality Areva Martin, who is also the president of the Special Needs Network. I completely resonated with her passion as a feminist and powerful attorney – who ALSO likes to rock blonde hair (at least that day) with a side braid and bright pink lipstick.
Jamie Brewer, one of the 4 women being honored, inspired us with her story as she pursues her Hollywood career and a jewelry business. She is a proud ambassador for the Special Needs Community and for women looking to break through barriers of all kind.
Other honorees that day included: Dr. Roslyn Blake, Hon. Betty Yee and Rea Ann Silva.
Fashion designer Galina Sobolev rounded out the panel and shared her mission of inclusivity with her Single Dress and Single Dress Plus lines. She also featured her 2017 Plus Line in the afternoon's fashion show. See below for a little Q&A I did with Galina and stay tuned for future conversations with other inspiring women!
I really loved our panel audience, including some great bloggers and content creators, who asked us thought-provoking questions and shared their stories with me as we snapped pictures on the pink carpet. Thanks for your tweets, emails and DM's – please keep them coming!
All in all, it was a beautiful and inspiring Sunday afternoon and I was honored to be a part of it. To learn more about the Special Needs Network, please click here!
1. What was the inspiration behind the fashion show you put together for the Pink Pump Project to benefit Special Needs Network?
The inspiration behind putting together a curvy fashion show came from the women involved in this charity. The Special Needs Network team is filled with beautifully curvy women and many of the mothers of the children with autism also fit this line. After being involved with the charity for 7 years realized that these gorgeous women would really enjoy seeing fashions on the runway that are relatable and inclusive instead of seeing another runway show with filled with models wearing a size 0 or 2. I wanted to present fashion that would make women feel and look beautiful.
2. Why did you choose to sponsor this cause?
I have been an avid supporter of The Special Needs Network and the Pink Pump Affair for 7 years. I absolutely love being involved in this project and working with Areva Martin and her team. Giving back to the community is the biggest privilege one has. This country has given me so much and feel it is important to give back. This is truly a remarkable cause.
What 3 tips would you tell someone who aspires to launch their own fashion line?
1). The most important advice I can give someone is to get experience and work for someone else for 5 – 10 years, maybe divide that time between one or two companies. This experience will help anyone who wants to have their own line some day to succeed.
2) Surround yourself with knowledgeable and trustworthy people. It is very important to have the right team, and the right partner.
3) Select a niche market, identify it, and see how you can excel in it. How are you different? How is your line going to be more relevant than 50 others out there? Find something you can do better than anyone else, and make that your niche.
For example, our plus size collection of beautiful dresses and blouses
is available on Amazon.com and Amazon Prime. The line will soon be featured on Gwynnie Bee.com … stay tuned!
That's a wrap Vanity Girls — and we'll see you at the next event !

|I have seen the light, and it is Lakota! The deck is beautifully made with perfect flex, the bearings are super smooth and....well, everything about this board is perfect and at the current price is an absolute steal! Sure, there are more expensive boards out there but the quality here far outweighs the "low price"

text: Wow, what a week. It seems like we have done so much. We topped the week off with a helicopter flight into the Earnslaw Burn. This is a place that is truly edge of the planet. No words can describe what it is like to fly into this location that in itself is on top of a mountain. Then you are standing there and surrounded by thousand foot cliffs with waterfalls. We even witnessed at an avalanche that was quite dramatic. We spent several hours at this location and as you can see below there were amazing photo opps. We then headed back to the hotel to work on images but not before we made a stop to shoot the Lupins, a wildflower growing all over the place. We concluded the night with a wonderful dinner with lots of laughs and then a visit by the Hobbit cast. Over all it was a very special day.

The agency and authors have no financial interests in the outcome of this study.
Competing interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
Europe is increasingly at risk of the emergence of tropical diseases that are more commonly associated with warmer climates [1]. In 2010, Southeastern Europe witnessed an upsurge in West Nile fever cases that was strongly associated with excessive heat waves that had occurred in the preceding weeks [2]. France sustained its first autochthonous dengue transmission in the summer of 2010, and Madeira is currently experiencing the first persistent dengue transmission in Europe since 1920 [3]. In addition, the first outbreak of chikungunya outside the tropics occurred in 2007 in Italy, with subsequent autochthonous cases in France and Croatia in 2010 [4], and since 2009, Greece has experienced a resurgence of indigenous cases of Plasmodium vivax transmission in environmentally and climatically suitable areas [5].
Globalization and environmental change, social and demographic factors, and health system capacities are all significant drivers of infectious diseases [6]. International travel and trade can facilitate the dispersal of vectors and pathogens to new areas that are increasingly climatically and environmentally suitable. Environmental factors, such as agriculture, irrigation, and deforestation, are other important determinants of emerging infectious diseases. Urbanization and urban sprawl have encroached upon agricultural and seminatural areas in Europe, and the trend is expected to continue in many places. One consequence of habitat destruction is the displacement of wildlife, sometimes into urban or abandoned environments, which can in turn affect human exposures to infectious pathogens.
In addition to the above, climate significantly influences the transmission of infectious diseases. Many zoonotic enteric pathogens, including salmonella, cryptosporidium, VTEC, and campylobacter, are known to exhibit seasonal patterns, while climatic conditions including temperature and rainfall influence the transmission of vector-borne diseases ranging from tick-borne encephalitis to dengue [7], [8]. Thus anthropogenic climate change, which has accelerated over the past decade, may lead to shifts in the distribution of infectious diseases [9].
Environmental drivers are often epidemic precursors of disease, meaning that monitoring changes in environmental conditions can guide the anticipation and forecasting of upsurges in infectious disease [10]. At an ecological level, the utility of predictive models has been documented for a number of case studies. For example: deer mice density has been used to predict hantavirus infections [11]; rainfall and temperature have been used as predictors of high-risk areas of plague and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome [12]; sea surface temperature, elevated rainfall, and vegetation index have been used to predict outbreaks of Rift Valley fever [13]; expansion of schistosomiasis in China has been linked to climate change scenarios [14]; climate change models have been used to predict Lyme disease risk and to forecast the emergence of tick-borne infectious disease [15]; and shifts in patterns of transmission of plague and tularemia have been assessed in relation to climate change [16].
A common message from these diverse studies is that merging environmental, remotely sensed, demographic, epidemiological, and other relevant data sets on the basis of common spatiotemporal features allows for the integrated analysis of complex interactions. In turn, identifying long-term trends will build the evidence base for strategic public health action, while identifying short-term events linked to environmental conditions can help improve and accelerate early warning and response capabilities.
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has recognised the strategic importance of such capabilities and has developed an information infrastructure coined the European Environment and Epidemiology (E3) Network, aimed at monitoring environmental conditions related to infectious disease threats [17]. The E3 Geoportal (http://E3geoportal.ecdc.europa.eu/), to be launched in 2013, will support data exchanges and sustained collaborations between EU Member States, researchers, and other interested collaborators (Figure 1). The E3 Network has been specifically designed with the intent of promoting European-wide research into environmental infectious disease epidemiology, leveraging existing European Community investments in this field, and facilitating the exchange of relevant data sets. In addition, the E3 Network also aims to provide technical support for the reporting, monitoring, analysis, and mapping of data and to enhance the analytical capacity of existing resources in Europe. Results could then be disseminated to policy makers, public health practitioners, European Union and international agencies, other governmental sectors, and nongovernmental organisations.
For example, data from the E3 Network have recently been used to delineate areas suitable for malaria transmission in Greece during the resurgence of locally acquired Plamosdium vivax [5]. The objective was to define the environmental profile of areas with active transmission cycles between 2009 and 2012 and, based on this, to demarcate other regions at risk for malaria reemergence in Greece. A prediction model was developed with a number of environmental variables, including temperature (day- and nighttime Land Surface Temperature (LST)), vegetation seasonal variations (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)), altitude, land cover categories, and demographic indicators. These variables predicted suitability of areas for persistent malaria transmission characterized by low elevation, elevated temperatures, and intensive, year round irrigated agriculture with complex cultivation patterns (Figure 2). Such spatial analyses can help guide public health preparedness and response to infectious disease threats by directing surveillance and vector control activities.
Note: Map adapted from [5]. Countrywide geo-referenced environmental and climatic data were used from the European Environment and Epidemiology (E3) Network data repository for spatial modeling (nonlinear discriminant analysis). Map illustrates areas predicted to be environmentally suitable for malaria transmission based on Plamosdium vivax transmission in Greece from 2009 to 2012. Values from 0 to 0.5 (dark to light green) indicate conditions not favorable for malaria transmission (based on locally acquired cases), as opposed to yellow to dark red areas that delineate conditions increasingly favorable for transmission (values from 0.5 to 1). Areas of historic malaria transmission in Greece refers to the period prior to the elimination in 1974, as a result of a national malaria elimination effort between 1946 and 1960.
The E3 Geoportal
A number of advances in spatial epidemiology have proven to be instrumental for the establishment of the E3 Network. These include the creation of a wide array of eco-climatic and ecological spatial data archives from a number of sources including the EU FP6 EDEN project that ECDC has acquired, evaluated, and integrated into the E3 Network. A geospatial data repository has been built by ECDC with the capability to store, manage, and serve spatial data layers (e.g., geocoded disease data referenced to a geographic location) as well as other data types. As a central reference point, the E3 data repository will serve data to all E3 Network applications as appropriate and will also supply advanced data querying and analysis functionalities to these applications.
ECDC has created the E3 Geoportal (http://E3geoportal.ecdc.europa.eu/) as a (spatial) data dissemination platform to facilitate the search and discovery of E3 Network resources, and to enable the upload, download, and exchange of data (Table 1). The E3 Geoportal will facilitate the opening up and sharing of all types of information objects that are gathered under the project in a manner that complies with INSPIRE directives (INSPIRE is an EU initiative to assure that spatial data are compatible and usable: http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/) for providing spatial information services in Europe.
Four key functionalities include: keyword and browse tree search, map preview, metadata information, and data downloading and uploading. The web portal will serve as the outreach tool for promoting collaboration and building a critical mass of individual, organisational, and consortium partners that will form the network of stakeholders. The E3 Network stakeholders will originate from the following groups: ECDC staff, E3 Network environmental data providers and partners (EU organizations and EU-funded research projects), Member States providing epidemiological data, the WHO (providing epidemiological data), research organizations, public health agencies, and others.
The next steps for the E3 Network include further developing analytical capabilities. This involves exploring the possibilities of enriching the E3 Network service with easy-to-use tools that can simplify and automate some complex analytical processes and enable users to interact with pre-set data layers and obtain desired results. It is envisaged that some utilities developed by external partners of the E3 Network will be converged and harmonised under this exercise.
One of the key pillars of the recently launched EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change is better informed decision-making (http://ec.europa.eu/clima/policies/adaptation/what/index_en.htm). In the area of infectious disease, it is increasingly acknowledged that an ecological understanding of disease transmission is essential for proactive public health preparedness [17]. With the E3 Network, ECDC is in the process of developing twenty-first century surveillance by monitoring environmental precursors of disease. The E3 Network is a novel surveillance system designed to link environmental data with epidemiological data. The goal of the E3 Network is early detection of, and rapid response to, shifting infectious disease burdens, particularly those of diseases currently associated with the tropics. By monitoring environmental drivers of disease during periods of global environmental change, this data system can supply crucial information and analyses for forecasting, and thereby assist in predicting changing patterns of infectious disease burden. The Network can significantly enhance preparedness and accelerate the public health response to emerging infectious diseases, thereby helping contain human and economic costs, particularly in resource-strapped regions.
We would like to thank Massimiliano Rossi, Alberto Javier, and Virginia Estevez for their contribution to the E3 Network.

Mission Statement
Undergraduate Research Journal Mission Statement
By featuring research from the various schools, the UC Merced Undergraduate Research Journal hopes to show what can be accomplished when the definition of "research" is expanded. The journal aims to accurately portray the diversity of research in which students at UC Merced are engaged. Additionally, it serves to connect faculty and students by highlighting the value of an interdisciplinary approach to research.
This interdisciplinary approach emphasizes methodology, empirical reasoning, and creativity - values we hope to bring to the academic community at large. We strive to present interesting, innovative and well-supported selections that demonstrate excellence in writing by capturing and holding the attention of all readers, regardless of academic background.
It is our intention that the publication of UC Merced's finest work will perhaps spark new ideas and promote innovative ways of thinking. While most of our submissions are written in a classroom setting, we also accept independent scholarship. We hope to publish student writing from all disciplines and interests.

Fujifilm GFX 50S Camera which is a medium-format camera offers many great innovations for getting such incredible image. After we have had everything about the GFX 50S camera specifications, we are so excited to reveal the camera lenses. The completely new of the GFX system is the large 'G' lens mount. This large 'G' lens mount firstly used by six lenses, those are:
- Fujinon GF63mmF2.8 R WR standard prime
- GF32-64mmF4 R LM WR wide zoom
- GF120mmF4 Macro R LM OIS WR macro lens
- GF110mmF2 R LM WR portrait lens
- GF23mmF4 R LM WR ultra-wide prime
- GF45mmF2.8 R WR moderate wide-angle lens.
Fujifilm GFX 50S LensesThe six lenses are expected to be launched in 2017. For further detail information about the lenses of Fujifilm GFX 50S, we have listed important point about it below:
- The GFX lenses can resolve over 100 MP
- Lenses will have a C position that allows the aperture to be controlled from the command dial like a DSLR.
- Lead shutter based lenses can be released or adapted in the future.
- Three new GFX lenses launched: GF 63mm f/2.8 R WR, GF 32-64mm f/4 R LM WR, and GF 120mm f/4 Macro R LM OIS WR (minimum focusing distance of 45cm and a maximum magnification of 0.5x)
- More lenses expected to be released in 2017: GF 110mm f/2 R LM WR, GF 23mm f/4 R LM WR, and GF 45mm f/2.8 R WR.
The lenses feature an aperture ring, and have a new C position on the ring to enable aperture adjustments with a command dial on the camera body. The lenses are designed to be more durable and secure because all the lenses boast a dust-and weather-resistant construction that withstand temperatures as low as -10 °C. These new Fujinon G lenses have a very short flange-back distance of only 26.7mm because of the mirrorless construction of the camera.
Fujifilm GFX 50S SensorFujifilm GFX 50S is equipped with a 43.8x32.9mm CMOS imager with a resolution of 51.4 megapixels. This is essentially the same sensor as the one found in the Hasselblad X1D, the Fuji's only direct competitor for the time being. A 43.8×32.9mm CMOS imager has an imaging area that is 1.7 times greater than that of a 35mm "full-frame" sensor, and over 3.7 times larger than the APS-C sized imagers used in Fujifilm's X-series CSCs. Fujifilm GFX 50S has a traditional Bayer color filter array in front of the sensor. The pixel count isn't really higher than that of the highest-resolution 35mm full-frame DSLRs – the Canon EOS 5DS and 5DS R – but the pixel pitch is greater, promising a wider dynamic range and a better signal-to-noise ratio.
The GFX 50S is trying to offer larger sensor for better quality pictures. It is the first camera to use the company's new G format sensor, which Fujifilm said it fully customized and designed, and also measures 43.8mm x 32.9mm. the measures is 1.7 times larger than the typical 35mm (aka fullframe) setup in high-end DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. Fujifilm GFX 50S still manages to retain a light 800 gram (body only) footprint and a size smaller than a typical fullframe DSLR although it has that huge sensor.

IPB EDU EXPO 2017: "Biology can be so artsy"
- 2 October 2017
- Last modified at 10 October 2017
On Saturday, 7 September 2017, Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) held IPB Edu Expo 2017. The event has an aim to educate the participant (senior high school student) and promote study programs of IPB. In the event taken place in Grha Widya Wisuda, all of IPB faculties and schools have participated to promote their study programs. Department of Biology and other Department in Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences have participated in the event as a single big exhibition booth.
Supervised by Mafrikhul Muttaqin M.Si, three students acted as the Department Ambassadors at the #bioipb booth. The Department of Biology student (Jefrey, Alya, Cindy) has guided the participant to know more about Undergraduate Program in Biology. To make the booth interested, the team built the booth and its goods as a single theme of "the awesome world of biology". The booth displayed unique plant tissue culture products, human organ miniature, and cute spore of microorganism, paper DNA, and others.
"We don't know that biology can be so artsy", A senior high school student from Bogor said it to the ambassador. "It will make the learning process fun", he added. Mafrikhul Muttaqin M.Si explained that the event will make the visitor get more information about the quality of the Department of Biology and its study programs. "Undergraduate Program in Biology has been accredited 'A' by Badan Akreditasi Nasional Perguruan Tinggi, certified ISO 9002:2017, and, recently, an international certification of ASEAN University Network Quality Assurance" he added.
