Registration, Accommodation and the conference dinner can be booked online at: https://ecommerce.bishopg.ac.uk/product-catalogue/conferences/burney-society-conference
BGU's Victorian campus is located in the historic 'uphill' area of Lincoln. It is a compact and accessible campus with lots of green space, within easy walking distance of Lincoln Cathedral, Castle and Roman 'Bailgate', now a shopping street. The University began its life as an Anglican teacher training college for women and retains its original buildings (including Old School House and Chapel) with modern additions. The institution became a public University in 2012.
The University has a combination of Victorian, early 20th Century and modern buildings. The conference itself takes place in a modern building with full AV facilities (Windows 10, powerpoint) and we have a dedicated IT team available to support delegates on the day. Delegates wishing to use their own PCs to present will need to ensure they have the appropriate adaptor. Delegates using Apple presentation software are welcome to email their presentation to the organiser (firstname.lastname@example.com) no later than Sunday 28 July for conversion to an appropriate format.
BGU is an accessible campus with level access to all parts of campus. The conference will take place in the Robert Hardy Building, which is equipped with a hearing loop. Accessible toilets are available in all buildings. Dedicated disabled parking is available close to the main conference room. You will be prompted to complete an accessibility webform after registration, where you can also request the organisers contact you to discuss your requirements. Please contact the organiser (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you have any queries about accessibility arrangements in advance of booking.
Although there are no creche facilities on-site, children are welcome on campus provided they are supervised and do not disrupt conference sessions. BGU library's teaching resources collection (TRC) has a wealth of children's books for all ages: please ask the organisers if you would like to visit the TRC. Nursing mothers are welcome and can also be provided with a private room in which to breastfeed if needed.
BGU is easily accessible by road with ample parking. For those using public transport, the train station is located 'downhill' in the modern town centre. There are a number of uphill-downhill bus links between the Train Station to the Cathedral Quarter (including Park and Ride and Walk and Ride services); Number 4 bus runs directly form the bus station (opposite the train station) and BGU. Taxis are available from the station (c. 5-10 minute journey). To walk from the train station takes c. 35 minutes, but please be aware that the walking route takes in Lincoln's aptly named 'Steep Hill', so this may not be suitable for those with mobility issues or carrying heavy luggage. The downhill walk back to the station is more manageable, however! More information on travel in and around the city can be found on the Visit Lincoln transport information pages.
Lincoln is well-served by local rail links to main line services, with direct trains from Doncaster, Leeds, Newark, Nottingham, Peterborough and Sheffield as well as a daily direct service to/from London. The nearest major airports to Lincoln are East Midlands Airport and Doncaster Robin Hood Airport.
Detailed travel advice can be found here: https://www.bishopg.ac.uk/how-to-find-us/
The address of the University is:
Bishop Grosseteste University
Longdales Road, Lincoln, LN1 3DY
Accommodation in Wickham Hall is modern and en suite with double beds, and a double occupancy B&B rate is available for delegates wishing to bring a partner. Individual nights can be booked, as well as two nights before/after the conference. Ground floor rooms are available for delegates who would prefer this (although there is lift access to upper floors). Breakfast is served in the Refectory Café on campus. Residents will have access to shared kitchen facilities.
Delegates wishing to stay off-campus will find themselves well-served by quality small hotels and B&Bs in the uphill area (sometimes referred to as the 'Cathedral Quarter') within an easy walk of the campus, and larger chain hotels can be found in the modern University quarter downhill (although please see the caveat above about the steepness of the hill!). There are many hotels and B&Bs listed on the Visit Lincoln website.
Lunch, teas and coffees on Tuesday 30 and Wednesday 31 July are included in the cost of registration, as is the wine reception on Tuesday evening. The conference dinner is optional, and at a cost of £37.50 per head which includes three courses, wine to table and coffee. Partners accompanying delegates are welcome to attend the dinner. A link to the menu choices is sent out upon registration. The menu can be adapted for special dietary requirements.
Eating Out
There are a multitude of dining options in the Bailgate and uphill and downhill areas of Lincoln, catering for a range of budgets and tastes. Please feel free to draw on the organisers for local knowledge! A walk down the Bailgate will offer plenty of excellent options, however.
The Refectory Café on BGU Campus is open to the public and serves hot and cold food and drink.
Optional Outing, 1 August
On the third day of the conference, delegates will have the opportunity to visit Lincoln Castle and Cathedral and the historic Bailgate area. An optional group outing will be arranged (numbers permitting), although these attractions are in easy walking distance should delegates wish to explore independently: individual and joint tickets for the Castle and Cathedral are available from the Tourist Information Office on the corner of castle square. Uphill Lincoln is easily navigable and benefits from a wealth of cafes and independent shops, as well as its sites of historic interest. Steep Hill, which connects the uphill and downhill areas, was named 'Britain Best Street' in 2012 by the Academy of Urbanism.
Lincoln Castle was voted 'Britains Favourite Castle' in 2017. It sits at the top of Steep Hill in the historic Bailgate area, but is (fortunately) a level walk from BGU. The Castle is home of one of four copies of the Magna Carta (housed in its visitor centre) and The Charter of the Forest. The recently-restored Victorian Prison is the only remaining example of a 'separate system' prison in Britain. Guided or self-guided walks on the castle walls are available, and group tours on themes from the Magna Carta to Lincoln's public hangings are available by arrangement. The grounds and café are free to enter; entrance is charged for walls, prison and Magna Carta.
Lincoln Cathedral (at one point the tallest building in Europe) sits opposite the castle dominating the city's skyline, and is a magnificent example of medieval gothic architecture. The Cathedral was used as Westminster Abbey in the 2006 film The Da Vinci Code and some of the props can still be seen in the Chapter House, although sadly Frances Burney's Poet's Corner memorial was not reproduced. Notable features include beautiful Victorian stained glass, the tomb of Katherine Swinford (Duchess of Lancaster), and the Lincoln Imp! The Cathedral is home to the Wren Library (open weekdays 1-3pm), designed by Sir Christopher Wren to replace the crumbling Medieval chain library, of which half remains, and has been described as 'the most beautiful room in England'. In the Wren and Medieval Libraries visitors can see a selection of rare and precious manuscripts and books on display, some dating back to the 10th century, and examine the intricate decor of a unique library room. Entrance fee for the Cathedral includes the Wren Library, but roof tours need to be booked separately. The Cathedral's Chapter House Café is freely accessible from at the back of the Cathedral, near the notable George Frederick Watts statue of Alfred Tennyson in the Cathedral grounds.
Further Afield
There are a number of stately homes and sites of historic interest in Lincolnshire which would merit a visit, the finest of which is probably Doddington Hall. Just beyond the city limits, this is a beautiful Elizabethan hall with extensive grounds (and some fine 18th and 19th century features). There is an impressive interior, beautiful formal gardens, estate walks and excellent catering facilities (restaurant, café and coffee shop). Doddington Hall can be reached from BGU in roughly 15-20 minutes by road. Entrance fee applies for the hall and formal gardens.
Should delegates wish to remain in Lincoln (and take advantage of the affordable accommodation at BGU) there are many opportunities for tourism, most of which are listed on the very comprehensive Visit Lincoln site (https://www.visitlincoln.com/about-lincoln/

I had a great time last night at the Legacy Art event. Here are photos of featured artist Kevin Red Star's auction painting and also of Lou Diamond Philips during the live auction. We all raised a lot of money for art scholarships. There will be a new small painting up for auction tomorrow night.
Happy Mother's Day!

Re: GOD, LUTHERION, MERCIFUL NUNS
thx for your post, kostas! yes..i think we cannot fix it to one band..i saw lutherion in berlin, and it was great, i saw the rip of god in berlin, and it was great also..so Artaud is an artist and for me he touches my soul! Many people, who were confrontes with the new Lutherion were dissappointed..so why? we all have a harder heart..its an engrowing..and we all should aspect the forthcoming way of Artaud, Jawa and Jòn
Re: GOD, LUTHERION, MERCIFUL NUNS
I agree with you brother. I believe that Artaud's work should be regarded as a whole. The different phases/faces of his art are all expressions of the same creative force. Lutherion has produced some extraordinary songs like "Sangreal" for instance or "In memoriam", both being very close to G.O.D in my opinion. And let's not forget the Chaos God album, which is another dark masterwork. As for the Merciful Nuns, I couldn't hope for a better way to go on...

Coronation Street star Jimi Mistry (Kal Nazir) lifts the lid on Kal and Leanne's first night together and the split the very next day…
Kal wants Leanne and, just for one blissful moment, he thinks he's got her when they finally give in to their feelings and sleep together. "This is something Kal and Leanne have wanted for a while and they just can't help themselves – it's a night that's about them and not Nick," Jimi tells Soaplife.
Latest Stories
Ah, yes. Nick. Surely now's the time to tell Nick how they feel about each other. But can they?
How does Kal react when Nick tells him Leanne is giving him another chance?
"Kal feels frustrated. He understands why Leanne hasn't told Nick that she doesn't want him back, but he also knows he can't carry on like this. He does know that Leanne really likes him, too."
Why does he wind up Nick at the gym?
"Guilt and frustration that he and Leanne can't be together openly. The frustration takes over and Kal winds Nick up and Nick ends up punching Steve. Leanne's furious with Kal."
But it leads to Kal and Leanne sleeping together…
"They're forced together when Nick invites Kal to eat with him and Leanne at The Bistro after Kal apologises to Nick for winding him up. It's extremely awkward for Kal and Leanne – and made even worse because Nick is oblivious. After the evening's ended, Kal has such a strong need to be with Leanne that he calls round to her flat. He tells her he can't keep away any longer. He kisses her – and she kisses him back."
And they spend the night together. How do they feel in the morning?
"They are so loved-up! But then Nick turns up unexpectedly at Leanne and Eva's flat. It's a bit of a shock."
What happens?
"Poor Eva, who's already in shock at seeing Kal and Leanne together, spins a story to Nick as Leanne and Kal hide. It's an eye-opener for them as they realise Nick can't find out accidentally as it would break him."
Why does Nick call round?
"He wants Leanne to go to the movies with him. Leanne agrees and Kal's quite angry and tells Nick that he's deluded. But when Nick asks what he means, he can't tell him the truth. I think he realises that telling Nick about their relationship isn't going to be as easy as he thought."
And that finishes Kal and Leanne?
"Nick has made progress, but he still has a long way to go. Kal and Leanne both realise being together would completely set Nick back and neither of them wants that."
But it's such a big sacrifice!
"Huge. At the time it feels like the right thing to do, but I'm not sure how long they'll be able to resist each other. And if Nick finds out that Kal and Leanne spent the night together, who knows how he will react…"

Spent a whole day at the Science Museum. Spent the first 3.5 hours on the first floor alone, and that was with half the Space exhibit closed off for work (but they had a V-1 and a V-2!!!). The steam engines alone I could have practically spent the day at. The Modern World room, which contains everything from Stepheson's Rocket to a Cray supercomputer (and has the years engraved on the floor, advancing towards today as you walk thru it) is a masterpiece of how to use space. All the London museums have impressed me with how much they can fit in how neatly.
Other highlights were a tremendous Spitfire exhibit, and their working Babbage engine (which wasn't working that day). Only had time to duck thru the history of flights, and left two floors untouched.
Next was the Houses of Parliament. They only do tours during the summer months (ending Sept. 30), so I've just got in under the wire. Almost all the old building burned down in 1837 (and the House of Commons was bombed and rebuilt in WWII) so what is there today is a gothic reconstruction. The oldest part, Westminister Hall, is currently undergoing extensive renovations, and parts of it date back to 1097.
Parliament has over 1000 rooms (including restaurants, bars, and a hairdressers), but the tour kept to the big ceremonial chambers, lobbies, House of Lords, and the Commons, which isn't very big at all. When they rebuilt it, they kept it to the same size as the first Commons in the 1600s, even thought it can't fit all the MPs today. And we couldn't sit down in the Commons, we were warned we'd get shouted at for that.
Took a walk along the Jubilee Walk on the Thames, past the London Eye (cloudy day when I went by, so I figured it wasn't really worth the $30 for the ride around), and had lunch at Cafe Manga, which indeed does have manga available. (owlfish says she misses having people to watch anime with here, we finished off Pretear the other night with five episodes in a row).
The Imperial War Museum I've going back to tomorrow to finish off, I only had 3.5 hours there before and that just got me thru WWI and the Secret War exhibit, I missed all of WWII and the special Somme exhibit. And they have not only a V-1 and a V-2, but a Polaris Missile!!
Went to Greenwich and saw the Meridian. Actually, the Greenwich Observatory is great, some of the building are by Christopher Wren and are magnificent, the Harrison Chronometer exhibit is wonderful, and their collection of clocks and watches may be second to none. Plus I was in time to see them raise the Time Ball to the top of the Observatory staff and drop it at exactly 1 PM. And the view of the city form there is wonderful. Also saw the Cutty Sark (the last of the tea clippers), which is getting into pretty bad shape, they're working hard to raise the money necessary to properly preserve her.

Rugby league's golden 1990s featured prominently as six players – including five from the era – were named as inductees into the NRL Hall of Fame on Tuesday night.
One of the longest and most versatile careers in rugby league will end in 2018 with veteran Cronulla star Luke Lewis to retire at the completion of the season.
The fact Australia finished with its equal-best medal haul at a Winter Olympics speaks in part about the external factors that come into play in snow sports.
Bernard Tomic says he was offered millions of dollars to play tennis for other countries and remains amazed he's done so well at the sport given how little effort he sometimes puts in.
A highly-anticipated first ATP match-up between Australians Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic has failed to eventuate with the latter bowing out of his opening round match at the Madrid Open.
Hurting from the lightweight barbs, St George Illawarra five-eighth Gareth Widdop says his club's much-maligned forwards have sharpened up their game ahead of the 2015 NRL season.
It may have been a new format but it was the same old rivalry as Roger Federer fought his way to a tough win over Lleyton Hewitt in the Fast4 tennis exhibition on Monday night.
South Sydney centre Kirisome Auva'a has been banned from the NRL for at least nine months, following his domestic violence conviction.
It may have been evident from the recent shock loss to Qatar but now it's official: the Socceroos are at an all-time low.
He played in Australia's two Rugby World Cup victories, captained his country during one of the Wallabies' most successful eras and even earned the nickname 'nobody' – because nobody's perfect.
Former Australia and St George rugby league Immortal Reg Gasnier has died after a long illness.
The father of Belle Brockhoff has issued a statement apologising for the timing of an email in which he questioned the funding of his daughter and other snowboarders in the Australian team.
Defending Winter Olympics gold medallist Torah Bright has qualified first from her heat into the Winter Olympics halfpipe final.
It was close, but no Segal. Slopestyle skier Anna Segal came within a whisker of capturing Australia's first medal of the Sochi Winter Olympics when she finished fourth on Tuesday.
An emotional Torah Bright said there "was more to life than snowboarding" after her seventh place in slopestyle, the Australian rider competing with the death of a friend's child on her mind when she took to her first event of the Winter Olympics.
She's a Winter Olympian from Perth who will have the busiest schedule of any Australian at the Games in a sport that receives very little love from a country focused on freestyle skiing and snowboarding.
Australian snowboarder Scotty James says his family won't be making the trip to next month's Winter Olympics in Russia because he doesn't want to be worried about their safety while he's competing.
Jana Pittman admits she's had a reality check ahead of next month's Sochi Games, Australia's first female summer and winter Olympian forecasting down her result after a tough World Cup campaign in the two-woman bobsleigh.
Australian Winter Olympics chef de mission Ian Chesterman has dismissed much of the concern about the potential safety issues in Sochi as "security noise".
An Australian course worker at the Sochi Winter Olympics has painted a bleak picture of the area just two weeks out from the Games, describing dodgy construction, poor accommodation and questionable employment conditions – all the while preparing not to be paid.

The Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 launched late last year to rave reviews. For all intents and purposes, Xiaomi's newest tablet was a smash hit. Somewhat recently, however, a troubling trend is popping up. A good amount of Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 owners are reporting a disturbing type of black screen issue that the original Mi Pad apparently suffered from. If the battery is allowed to wither away and all the way down to zero, the tablet will refuse to power back on, even after hours of charging. Trying to boot it into recovery or fastboot modes apparently does not work terribly well either. The tablet may boot, but odds are low and, according to reports, it seems to only work for a limited number of times.
The issue isn't gaining prominence on the MIUI forums as yet, but one thread has a reply from a Super Moderator asking the user to try using a different charger. There have been claims that this is the proper fix and should clear the problem right up. The problem with that is that the tablet uses USB Type-C, which is currently present in a limited number of devices. This means the chances of having a spare on-hand are slim for most users. Reports of the issue for the first generation Mi Pad on Xiaomi's forums have mostly dried up or been pruned, but one in particular has many users pointing out different solutions, though nobody mentions the charger may be the issue. Most point the finger at borked software or the battery itself.
In any case, with the Mi Pad 2, the best practice is to use a different charger, if possible. Otherwise, the best options are holding the power button for ten seconds or trying to boot into recovery mode. Using Xiaomi's own PC tools has also worked for some users, but others got no results from that approach. If you've suffered this issue and cannot get the tablet to Xiaomi for whatever reason and no other solutions have worked, plugging it into a different computer and trying both Windows and Linux may make the computer recognize the tablet, and from there it can be worked with. This last resort is fairly verbose, but works with a large number of devices. Thus far, Xiaomi has not commented on the issue in their official forums, so there is no word on the possibility of a fix or a time-frame as of yet.

Oscar Beat: Best Picture – Will 'Green Book' Crash the Party?
A week of inaugural Oscar predictions has now come to this, at last: Best Picture. The Oscars' biggest prize has taken some interesting left turns over the last few years. Everyone (myself included) was sure crowdpleaser La La Land had it in the bag, but instead the Academy went with the artful, challenging Moonlight. Many said The Shape of Water was simply too weird to win Best Picture. As it turned out, they were wrong.
The Academy's demographic has been changing significantly over the past couple of years, with concerted efforts made to make the membership younger and more diverse. That's changing what an "Oscar movie" really is—just look at all the nominations that Get Out received last year—and shaking up the race in a really exciting way. That in turn makes predicting the big category a bit harder, but there are still signposts that'll lead you to the major contenders.
This year's crop of potential nominees is not lacking for quality or diversity, and for the first time since 2012, a major studio has could win the top trophy as opposed to one of the prestige labels like Fox Searchlight or A24. And in a testament to the schizophrenic nature of Hollywood, this year could also see the first Netflix movie not only land a nomination, but the win. So yeah, the times they are a-changin'.
At this particular moment in time, there are three main frontrunners for Best Picture, and they could not be more different from each other. A Star Is Born was the early frontrunner, which can sometimes work out well (see: Spotlight) and sometimes not (see: The Social Network). This is an old-fashioned Hollywood studio picture. It's got movie stars, incredible craft, and unforgettable songs, and it's a massive hit with both audiences and critics. It's also hard to find someone who hates this movie, and when it comes to Best Picture, a lack of divisiveness can sometimes make the all the difference—remember, they use a preferential ballot when voting, which means Academy members rank their favorites. So a film wants a bunch of 1's, 2's and 3's, not split of 1's and 9's.
Then we have ROMA, which is the "artsy" pick, but also quite edgy given that it hails from Netflix—with which Hollywood has a love/hate relationship. The film is a masterpiece, and it's one of the best-crafted movies in recent memory. But it's also a long, Spanish-language film with no recognizable starts, presented in black and white. That can sometimes be a bit of a challenge to get Academy voters to actually watch the film, but again the demographic is changing—this is the same Academy that gave Best Picture to Moonlight. So I think ROMA absolutely gets in and is a serious threat.
And for a while there, it felt like a two-way race between A Star Is Born and ROMA, but then Green Book came along and crashed the party. The drama chronicles the friendship of two opposites in the 1960s—a white, working class bouncer and a black, classically trained pianist. This is very much a feel-good movie in the vein of Hidden Figures or The Help, and it's going to be a massive crowdpleaser. I think that's enough to get it in the Best Picture mix and make it a serious candidate, but I also think this movie is going to be incredibly divisive. Once you start to really dig into the film's subtext, the result is… well, troubling to say the least. There will be plenty of "hot takes" written about this film over the next few months, so the question is whether Green Book is strong enough to weather the storm, or if it'll start to fade away. For right now, I think the film's a very serious threat and definitely a Best Picture contender.
Beyond these top three candidates, however, it's still a really interesting and diverse field. The Favourite is, well, a critical favorite, and Yorgos Lanthimos' most accessible movie yet. The film is already expected to be a serious player in Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, and Lanthimos could very well find himself in the Best Director circle. So if the movie is as big of a hit with the Academy as I'm thinking it might be, it's got a real shot at a Best Picture nomination.
Another "artsy" film that could be in the mix if If Beale Street Could Talk, filmmaker Barry Jenkins' warm, romantic, yet also timely James Baldwin adaptation. This is a very small movie that's also immaculately crafted, so it's going to need some passionate supporters to vault it into position. But we'll know more when Annapurna Pictures releases it in December.
Filmmaker Spike Lee will also likely find himself back in the Best Picture race with BlacKkKlansman, one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year. This is an incredibly timely, well-crafted film about race relations that's kind of the antidote to the feel-good nature of Green Book, and the fact that both will probably be nominated is a testament to the diverse range of voters in the Academy.
Also timely, but in a much more commercial way, is Black Panther. Marvel and Disney hired an expert Oscar strategist back in March, so they've been planning this Oscar campaign ever since Black Panther was first released, and they've been making all the right moves. Moreover, the film has the goods. It's a superhero movie to be sure, but Ryan Coogler threads a thematically rich and relevant tale of what it means to be black in America throughout the action-filled sci-fi spectacle. And "Marvel movie" isn't really a bad word to a lot of the people voting on this. Actors like Cate Blanchette, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tilda Swinton and Josh Brolin have all happily made the jump to Marvel, so voting for Black Panther isn't some kind of frowned-upon taboo—especially when the film itself is so rich and complex.
Also in the vein of timely stories, Adam McKay's Dick Cheney biopic Vice was finally unveiled last weekend, and it sounds like the Big Short director's new film is a hit—if voters can stomach it. Early reactions note that the film is extremely well-crafted with Oscar-worthy performances, but McKay connects Cheney's life and rise to power to our current political climate in 2018. It's apparently a film that, well, leaves the viewer feeling deflated and angry. It remains to be seen if voters will go for it (BlacKkKlansman has a similar effect, it should be noted) and Vice is a good reminder that the Oscars don't happen in a bubble—what's happening in the real world can affect what films voters spark to. But it's one to keep on the radar, and given the pedigree I'm inclined to think it makes it in.
If the mood of a lot of voters is leaning towards feel-good, Mary Poppins Returns might do the trick. The Disney musical had its first screenings this past weekend and it's apparently a genuine Best Picture contender—a joyous spectacle lovingly crafted by Oscar-winning Chicago director Rob Marshall. It's a bit too early to tell if the field may be too crowded, or if Mary Poppins Returns is too "commercial" for the Academy, but right now it's definitely one to keep in mind.
And in the vein of "warm" films, I think Can You Ever Forgive Me? is a serious Best Picture player, and one that a lot of folks are underestimating. This is a really lovingly crafted, character-centric tale that also doubles as an ode to New York. Melissa McCarthy and Richard E. Grant are strong possibilities for acting noms, but in the vein of Brooklyn or Lady Bird, I have a feeling Marielle Heller's rich character drama could sneak into the Best Picture race as well.
Of course there's also the First Man of it all. On paper, this was one of the year's biggest contenders: The next film from Oscar-winning La La Land wunderkind Damien Chazelle, a commercial biopic of a famous American hero as portrayed by movie star Ryan Gosling. Unfortunately, while the film netted solid reviews in September, it lacked the passion that keeps it in the conversation, and it really failed to connect with audiences in a big way. As a result, it's really faded as a lot of the other aforementioned films have remained relevant and engaging with regards to the Oscar race. It still has a shot at landing a Best Picture nomination, but with Universal now likely focused on Green Book as their best bet, I wouldn't hold my breath.
Beyond these likely contenders, it's worth mentioning critical darling Eighth Grade, which could pull off a surprise nod as I imagine it'll do well with the critics awards next month. Ditto First Reformed, for which Ethan Hawke may find himself in the Best Actor circle. I'd love to see Widows land a nomination, but Steve McQueen's popcorn movie isn't off to a great start at the box office. And despite a rotten Rotten Tomatoes score, Bohemian Rhapsody could potentially pull off a surprise nomination boosted by industry support. Hey, it's happened before with Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
And while there are certainly some "popular" films with great shots at being nominated this year, it would really be great to see films like Mission: Impossible – Fallout, A Quiet Place, or Crazy Rich Asians—tremendously crafted commercial entertainment with weight and substance—get into the Best Picture race. Alas, that's unlikely. But a guy can dream, right?
So that about does it. It's gonna be a long race with a lot of twists and turns, so these rankings will absolutely change as the season wears on. But for now, here are my Best Picture predictions in order of likelihood to be nominated.

If you're like me, you've always loved the idea of having a monkey–at least until you realize that they throw their feces at you. When you finally gave up on that idea as a 10-year old (or a 27-year old), you thought you'd never get close to a monkey again. But that was before you stumbled upon Crazy Monkey Toast.
Don't ask me why it's called that–I didn't come up with the name. But I did come up with the recipe. Use this short recipe with the Killer Caramel Sauce recipe, and you're ready for a devastating brunch.
- 6 pieces of sliced bread (slightly stale is best; it absorbs the egg better. Also, Portuguese sweet bread is ideal.)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 banana, sliced
- Dash of powdered sugar
Preheat a skillet to medium heat. Dig the bread in the egg mixer, covering both sides. Coat the pan with non-stick spray and cook on both sides for 2-4 minutes or until lightly browned. Place sliced bananas on top of the the toast and drizzle with warm Killer Caramel Sauce. Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar for appearance's sake, and enjoy.

By the Numbers
10 Ways to Guarantee You Hire the Wrong Person
Turnover on many large-scale commercial farms remains a chronic issue. Low unemployment rates compound the problem, since your applicant pool may be shrinking as the nation's economic recovery continues to grow. That means hiring the right candidate at the outset is becoming more critical than ever.
Mel Kleiman, president of Humetrics and a member of the faculty of The Executive Program for Agricultural Producers (TEPAP), teaches human resource management. This article focuses on the advice Mel wrote about in his most recent blog. Mel has graciously allowed me to pass along his observations about how employers hire the wrong people.
10. You don't have a clear picture of what you need to hire. (You have not spelled out the specific capacities, attitudes, personality traits, or skills and talents required.)
9. You look for people who are looking for a job instead of all the proven folks who are busy working and open to a new opportunity.
8. You hire the employees you need instead of the employees you want. (You're desperate to put a body, anybody, in the position rather than maintaining your hiring standards.)
7. You make it difficult for the best people to get into your hiring system and be interviewed because it has been designed to make it easy for you instead of easy for the applicant.
6. You don't realize that every step in the hiring process is a test. If the application form is not filled out completely, the applicant failed the "follows instructions" test. The person who is late for the interview, just failed the "dependability" test.
5. You set the applicant up to tell you what you want to hear by sharing all the details about the job and exactly the kind of person you're looking for at the beginning of the interview.
4. During the interview, you do most of the talking. (No one ever learns anything while they are speaking.)
3. You use the same, canned, interview questions everyone else does and the applicant responds with the canned answers that are plastered all over the Internet.
2. You don't use your best people to help screen applicants because "they are too busy working on other things." (Nothing's more important than who gets hired.)
1. Your managers don't realize how critical it is to the success of your organization to ensure you hire only STAR employees. (STARS are: Self-motivated, Talented, Accountable, Responsible, and Stable.) And last but not least having a good attitude is essential.
I hope you came through this brief check-up with a clean bill of health. If not, you can get a complimentary copy of Mel's "Special Report: Why the Wrong People Get Hired" by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Having the right people in the right jobs is one of the biggest differentiators between the best-managed businesses and those that continuously struggle.

Option or other core types. [FIXME: needs RFC]
Preferfn main() { let w = Widget::new(Small, Round) }
let w = Widget::new(Small, Round)
overfn main() { let w = Widget::new(true, false) }
let w = Widget::new(true, false)
Core types like
u8 and
Option have many possible interpretations.
Use custom types (whether
struct, or tuples) to convey
interpretation and invariants. In the above example,
it is not immediately clear what
true and
false are conveying without
looking up the argument names, but
Small and
Round are more suggestive.
Using custom types makes it easier to expand the
options later on, for example by adding an
ExtraLarge variant.
See the newtype pattern for a no-cost way to wrap existing types with a distinguished name.
Making a field public is a strong commitment: it pins down a representation choice, and prevents the type from providing any validation or maintaining any invariants on the contents of the field, since clients can mutate it arbitrarily.
Public fields are most appropriate for
struct types in the C spirit: compound,
passive data structures. Otherwise, consider providing getter/setter methods
and hiding fields instead.
[FIXME] Cross-reference validation for function arguments.
enums for alternatives,
bitflags for C-style flags. [FIXME: needs RFC]
Rust supports
enum types with "custom discriminants":
enum Color { Red = 0xff0000, Green = 0x00ff00, Blue = 0x0000ff }
Custom discriminants are useful when an
enum type needs to be serialized to an
integer value compatibly with some other system/language. They support
"typesafe" APIs: by taking a
Color, rather than an integer, a function is
guaranteed to get well-formed inputs, even if it later views those inputs as
enum allows an API to request exactly one choice from among many. Sometimes
an API's input is instead the presence or absence of a set of flags. In C code,
this is often done by having each flag correspond to a particular bit, allowing
a single integer to represent, say, 32 or 64 flags. Rust's
module provides a typesafe way for doing so.
[FIXME] Add some material on phantom types (https://blog.mozilla.org/research/2014/06/23/static-checking-of-units-in-servo/)

This stone head with three faces was found in Corleck, Cavan, and is known as the Corleck Head. Art experts date it to the 1st or 2nd Century CE (Iron Age). It now resides in the National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology.
There is a hole on the bottom of the head, which may indicate that it was mounted on a pole or post. The head has three faces carved around it, each with open eyes, nose, and mouth. The faces are quite stylized and not realistic, but are evocative. The three heads are not the same size, either – one is smaller and positioned lower down on the face. Human representations were not common during the Irish Iron Age, but this is an exception.
No other artefacts or writings were left with the head to indicate who it may depict (the earliest Irish writings are the Ogham stones, which start to appear around the 3rd century), so there are several theories. Some sources, like Finian O'Toole's History of Ireland in 100 Objects, believe that it may represent Crum Dubh, a pre-Christian fertility god. Other sources, like James MacKillop's Myths and Legends of the Celts, ascribe it to the pre-Christian Irish fire goddess Brigit, whose dominion included smithing, fertility, cattle, crops and poetry. Brigit is also thought by some scholars to be a predecessor to Saint Brigid. Regardless, the head is generally thought of as being used in worship by pre-Christian pagan Celts.
Celtic myth has a long history of triplism, or themes of three. This can be seen in mythology with gods like Lugh, who has three names and forms, and in art with the triskele, a Celtic pre-Christian design. There are other heads with three faces that have been uncovered in France, which would have been from Celts living in parts of France. Whether the Corleck Head represents Brigit, Crum Dubh, or someone else altogether, it is an important look inside pre-Christian life and worship.

The increasing ubiquity of mobile phones has led to Mobile World Congress (MWC) to be one of the hottest events in the tech calendar. HMD Global, the Finnish company otherwise known as the lord and saviour of the legendary Nokia series, returns with a series of Nokia phones targetted at a wide range of users. These include Android smartphones – the Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 7 Plus, New Nokia 6, and the Nokia 1. For the nostalgic, or the purists: the Nokia 8110, refreshed for 2018.
Known for excellent build quality, affordability, and exceptional ease-of-use, HMD Global's new generation of Nokia phones promise to carry on the Finnish's giant's legacy.
The Nokia 8 Sirocco: Design Meets Processing Power
The Nokia 8 Sirocco is an ultra-compact powerhouse, continuing in Nikon's rich design heritage. With a precision-crafted stainless steel frame, the 2mm-thin Nikon 8 Sirocco fuses strength and beauty seamlessly. A curved edge-to-edge pOLED 2k 5.5-inch display features slim bezels and moulded body curves to create an ultra-compact profile. Its stainless steel frame is 2.5x stronger than 6000 series aluminium and its 3D Corning Gorilla Glass 5 is robust enough to shun scratches and knocks.
The Nokia 8 Sirocco has on-board enhanced Zeiss optics and Dual-Sight. Dual rear cameras combine an impressive low-light performance with its 12-megapixel wide-angle primary shooter with a secondary 13-megapixel sensor with 2x optical zoom. Pro Camera mode allows you to take full manual control over your images.
The Nokia 7 Plus: Flagship Performance
The Nokia 7 Plus enters as Nokia's 2018 flagship, marrying legendary Zeiss optics and innovative imaging algorithms to capture true-to-life photos. With Dual Sight, dual rear sensor, the Nokia 7 Plus combines an ultra-sensitive 12-megapixel wide-angle primary shooter for exceptional low-light performance with a secondary 13-megapixel unit that captures 2x optical zoom. the Nokia 7 Plus is also optimised to prolong the powerful 3800 mAh battery, promising a 2-day battery life unheard of since a decade ago.
The New Nokia 6: Building on Success
The New Nokia 6 builds on the award-winning success of its predecessor, with more powerful performance in a more compact and durable chassis. 60% faster than its previous iteration, it now offers Dual-Sight and Zeiss optics in the camera department, along with USB-C fast-charging, a sleeker screen-to-body ratio. It also features Nokia spatial audio and a stock Android Oreo experience.
The Nokia 1: Reasonable Performance at a Reasonable Price
The Nokia 1 delivers a complete Nokia smartphone experience to a larger audience With an version of Android Oreo optimised for devices with 1 GB of RAM or less, the Nokia 1 is designed to run smoothly while accessing light apps like WhatsApp and Facebook, allowing users to access their social media, utilize chat apps, and complete mobile banking transactions on a budget device. It
The Nokia 8110: The #throwback Show-stopper
Those old enough would remember the Banana Phone sported by Keanu Reeves in the movie The Matrix. HMD Global probably knows what we've been saying about the phone because they released it in banana yellow.
Replete with 4G network support, the Nokia 8110 returns with its iconic slider (read: banana) design. An intuitive, tactile interface with T9 Predictive Text enables you to text incognito under the meeting table. It also means you can elegantly flip out the slider to answer calls, and dramatically end calls by slapping it shut.
App store support means access to Google Assistant, Google Maps, Facebook and Twitter. It also syncs with Outlook and Gmail. With a Qualcomm 205 processor, these essentials will perform reliably at your fingertips.
And yes, it comes with a revamped version of Snake.
Pricing and availability
No exact date and prices were provided for Singapore or any specific market.
Nokia 8 Sirocco will be available from early April for a global average retail price of EUR749 (USD924/SGD1216).
Nokia 7 Plus will be available from early April for a global average retail price of EUR399 (USD492/SGD648).

John Donnelly's Gold
eBook (PDF), 269 Pages
Price: $9.99
Robert Davies, Web developer. Daryl Simon, tech support. Michele Isbert, failing novelist. Kevin Horton, marketing assistant. They were putting in their time, waiting to get rich from the stock they owned in nTropics.com. But one autumn day, they found themselves out of work, part of the new CEO's new plans for the company. The same new CEO who personally bought a gold bar at auction and put it on the company's Web site as a symbol for the company's prosperity. Or maybe just his own vanity. You know where this is going, right? Stealing that gold bar is the principled thing to do, but only if they can do it the right way, without too much risk to themselves. Con games, breaking and entering, and a host of other crimes—they're just like live action hacking, right?

Imitating nature is not a new idea. When the GE team put Morpho wings under a powerful microscope, they saw a layer of tiny scales just tens of micrometers across. In turn, each of the scales had arrays of ridges a few hundred nanometers wide. This complex structure absorbs and bends light and gives Morfo butterflies their trademark shimmering blue and green coat.
Researchers at GE Global Research discovered that the nanostructures on the wing scales of Morpho butterflies have acute sensing capabilities. This could allow scientist to build sensors that can detect heat and also as many as 1,000 different chemicals.

Recreate The Classics! The HeliosCentric Helios
Through the years we have seen plenty of iconic music memorabilia hitting the market. Today we get a look at something unique, something legendary and something that would make any audiophile get excited about. The HeliosCentric Helios console was a rather popular music console that was created out of two pieces from the Island Records Basing Street Studios. The legendary console was used by the likes of Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley and The Wailers, Jimi Hendrix, Cat Stevens, Eric Clapton, and plenty of other artists; creating some classic albums in the process.
The HeliosCentric Helios console was recently pulled from the iconic studio and is going up for sale. This incredible device provides control over a massive 38-channel, plywood-housed device, letting you use the same tool that created some of those timeless and legendary rock albums from decades past.
Check out the images of this legendary machine in the photos below and give us your thoughts in the comments below. Head over to Bonhams to learn more and place your bid immediately.

seminal research for struggling readers (Learned, 2016 - 'The behavior…
seminal research for struggling readers
Hall, 2010 - The negative consequences of becoming a good reader: identity theory as a lens for understanding struggling readers, teachers, and reading instruction
Theories of identity: models of identity, identity capital, discursive idenity
case study
Why do students struggle based on decisions they make? (What Jen calls "intentional non-learners"
discursive identities
"I might fail, but you can't say I didn't learn something" p. 1815
Teachers need to be aware of their own discursive identities of students and how they respond to them.
What poor readers CAN do
Students bring it on themselves, but is it their fault?
Learned, 2016 - 'The behavior kids': Examining the conflation of youth reading difficulty and behavior problem positioning among school institutional contexts
school discipline tended to position students as deficient readers and deviant youth even if they were skilled and engaged readers
policies, mandated curricula, school discipline, etc help shape how teachers and students engage in the classroom
calls for more research to "explicate how teachers and struggling readers simultaneously participate in institutional and classroom contexts and how these contexts mediate youths' literacy learning" p 1272
findings: student success and seeing them as valued members of school communities requires "disrupting the tacit conflation of reading difficulty and behavior problems among secondary school contexts" - 1272
literacy is socially situated (Street, 1984)
When people associate with each other, such as students with students or students with teachers, they "build and rebuild contexts" so these are always being constructed (Erickson & Schultz, 1997)
uses ANT (Latour, 1987) actor network theory - actors use tools and objects (as well as people) to make meaning -- trace the chains of associations --- micro to macro or local to societal
ANT - actors make everything, even their own theories and contexts; therefore, school institutional contexts aren't "out there" but "manifest in moment -to-moment interactions among teachers, administrators, and youths" (p. 1273)
also draws on Foucault's (1972) idea that power" flows unpredictably through social networks"; teachers and administrators can use power to advantage
critical of group tracking because it is unfair to African American and Latino youth; system wide policies such as this can contribute to the problem versus making it better
struggling secondary readers are often subject to processes of tracking, school discipline, and literacy intervention
Reading tests for purposes of district, state and federal accountability positioned students as both struggling readers and behavior problems rather than supporting literacy. Those who interacted with the data associated behavior problems with reading difficulty and the passing along of data from teachers and administrators to the literacy coach often classified kids as "quiet" or "squeaky wheel" bad readers (p. 1284)
Screening process for literacy intervention "not an exact science" which means some kids got it who didn't really need it and others who needed it didn't get it
inequitable funding: though 39% of one school compared to 62% of another in proficiency, they both got the same funding for literacy; This is both institutional (district) and local (school) as the available funding qualified a youth for literacy intervention at one school but not in another
Students and parents were not notified regarding the placement in literacy intervention classes and therefore were frustrated as they had no autonomy about the decision; once school year started, students couldn't unenroll
Students defined themselves negatively for being in the class (such as Learned's other article title) because of the identification as a struggling reader. However, many shunned the labels and persisted to learn.
The process also positioned teachers in negative ways as they were faced with disgruntled readers.
One student in the case study made As in the reading program but did not do well in other classes (1.43 GPA) as "read 180 was neither identifying nor addressing Mark's disciplinary literacy needs as they related to his content area coursework" (1288)
Culture of Compliance: Subtle messages throughout school (daily announcements, hallway signs, etc.) positioned youth toward irresponsibility and disrespectfulness and constructed a focus (from administration and teachers) on rule adherence. The message is that following rules is most important and insinuates that youth will not do it on their own without constantly being told and reminded.
Correlation of disadvantage and suspensions: Economically disadvantaged students were 49% of the districts opulation but received 85% of suspensions; African Americans were 19% but received 60% of suspensions
Students in the study showed improvement at some point in the study , but overall, their needs were not met.
"Analysis showed that reading and behavior problems did not reside in the youths themselves but rather in the interactions among many school actors with the institutional contexts of schooling. Findings suggest that disrupting secondary school arrangements through which struggling readers are positioned is necessary if teachers together with youths, are to build on young people's demonstrated literacy strengths and resources." (1302)
further study: think critically about the role and design of reading assessments
Klauda & Guthrie, 2014 - Comparing relations of motivation, engagement, and achievement among struggling and advanced adolescent readers
Enriquez, 2011 - Embodying exclusion: The daily melancholia and performative politics of struggling early adolescent readers
sociocultural study; different from the typical cognitive study of reading
struggling reader identity -"which often labels and positions student through deficit lenses rather than recognizes and build up on the strengths of multiple ways students make meaning of printed text"
struggling reader identity is "felt, lived and embodied as part of students' daily interactions in schools"; AND "reading identities are the accumulation of beliefs, characterizations and official documentation of what students can and are willing to do while reading printed texts. To this end, personal, social and institutional values combine through discursive norms to produce one's official reading identity in school"
Many researchers believe that struggling reader identities are not really constructed on what students can do but on how well they follow school norms for social behavior" (Alvermann, 2001)
Enriquez combines sociology-cultural views of literacy with performance theories of education in order to put a different spin on understanding the contexts of how 'struggling readers' traverse reading in everyday activities
uses Butler's (1990, 1999) idea of melancholia - the idea of labeling someone as a struggling reader (Butler studied the black population) indicates more what they are not than what they can do. This identity becomes the self-perception and becomes deeply part of it. The feeling/identity can't be overcome and becomes what feels more like a condition than a mere label.
case study methodology
There is a sense of loss when one doesn't fit in and that causes another issue: Many refuse to "mourn" that loss because doing so forces one to admit being outside the bounds of what is considered normal and acceptable
Ivey & Johnston, 2015 - Engaged reading as a collaborative transformative practice
shift in focus toward student engagement: teachers abandoned assigned readings for student-selected, self-paced reading
over 4 years the shift consistently resulted in increased reading volume, fewer students filing the state test, and changes in peer relationships, self-regulation, and conceptions of self
CHAT - Cultural Historical Activity Theory
Reading engagement is usually studied as individual cognitive events, but Ivey and Johnston looked at it a social systems in which "individuals and communities reciprocally influence one another over time and across the breadth of human development" (298)
Research goal: to give a richer understanding of engaged reading, and of "reconciling the view of human development as being a profoundly social process with the view that individual subjectivity and agency make the very process of human development and social life possible" (Stetsenko, 2005, p. 71, found on p. 299 of Ivey and Johnston)
Ivey & Johnston, 2013 - Engagement with young adult literature: Outcomes and processes

Hello there
Looking for crew for sailing this Easter bank holiday out of Plymouth. Looks like a nice weekend but not much wind so not sure how far we will get possibly Fowey or Falmouth.
My boat is a Rival 32 and I am a professional Yachtmaster Offshore and more than happy to provide some training if required. I am pretty laid back and enjoyed relaxed cruising, eating nice food interspersed with some fishing, sea swimming and checking out local pubs.
No charges but would look to share costs.

This past week has been so beautiful! It makes you forget about 95 degree summers and drippy humidity. It also makes you want to walk in the woods and just experience the beauty. Unfortunately we don't have much in the way of deep woods in Florida, unless you count oaks and scrub pine. A little fall color would be appreciated but really, that's not going to happen! My mom, ever the optimist, thinks the Rain trees suffice for fall color. I have to admit, they are pretty. So maybe if I squint a little, I'll feel like I'm in the mountains.

The Big Sleep Howard Hawks | United States, 1946
Film - Feature | January 25 | 3:10 p.m. | Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
With a lecture from David Thomson
Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, John Ridgely, Elisha Cook Jr.,
Howard Hawkss classic thriller captures the tough and darkly humorous world of Raymond Chandlers most complicated novel, with Humphrey Bogart at his best as Philip Marlowe and Lauren Bacall as the fast-talking rich kid who invites him into an impossibly intricate web of blackmail and murder. Even Hawks cannot explain one of the killings, which in any case take a back seat to the sophisticated Marlowes more pressing task: unravelling the enigmatic psychologies of his enemies and so-called friends. We present the 1946 version of the film.
$13.50. BAMPFA members: $9.50. UC Berkeley students: $7.50 65+, disabled persons, UC Berkeley faculty and staff, non-UC Berkeley students, and 18 & under: $10.50 Special admission applies
