4 December. Norman Lockyer[73] and Whistler to dine. They talked about the Spectrum, the action of certain rays on sensitive media like silver in photography. Whistler great in his method of painting what he saw - the necessity of a painter's retention of memory. He seizes the effect and paints it - ordinary painters see an effect - determine to paint it - try to do it, although all the time they are at work the first effect which they wanted has disappeared. Thus by constant changings, their pictures are built up of many pictures and have no real unity - Lockyer and Whistler agreed.

8 September. To J. to see his painting of a demoniacal Leyland playing piano - Ye gold scab[90] - with an irruption [sic] of Frilthy Lucre - forcible piece of weird decoration - hideous - displaying bitter animus.
18 January. Heard of Jimmy from the Flowers[91] (dinner) who had been to Venice and found Jimmy much delighted with the Tintorets[92].
11 February. Whistler's sale[93] - blue and white - "Connie[94]" "Ye Creditor" (or Gold Scab)
2 January. Jimmy called - as self-reliant and sure as ever - full of confidence in the superlative merit of his pastels which we are to go and see.
28 January. Whistler turned up for dinner very full of his private view to-morrow. Later on we concocted a letter inviting Prince Teck to come to it.

International Ctn [?] to preserve paintings - discussion Velasquez and Rubens[101]. He is busy painting three portraits of Mrs. Meux.[102]
11 December. To Whistler's He very well. Excellent water colours, and five portraits - He printing etchings. Oscar Wilde [103]there. He informed me that in literature a dull thing is dull on account of the writer's fault and not account of the subject treated by him.

24 September. To Jimmy's. He lent me proof of his Paddon and Howell correspondence[112]. Amusing, but too personal for general interest.
17 February. To see Whistler's second series of Venice etchings[113] - catalogue very absurd in its quotations of critics.

Last weekend, I was asked to answer a few questions after a local screening the film "King Corn", an offbeat documentary by a couple young college grads who decided to move to Iowa and try growing the crop that fuels us all. The audience questions centered around the usual public fears about food. Is all corn GMO? What animals can eat corn? What else are they fed? Where can I learn more? And, my favourite, is the "glucose-frutcose" listed on my bottle of Arizona Iced Tea made from corn?
I'm not an expert on all those subjects - and I admitted as much at the screening. I can say that the answer to that last one - yes - got me thinking more about the uses of our crops and the causes of the world food crisis.
Frankly, any ingredient that you do not recognize on the label of a processed food or beverage is probably made from corn. Xathan gum? A fermented sugar made from corn. Lecithin? Made from corn. Vanilla extract? Vanilla and corn syrup. Malt extract? Often made from corn, not barley. Dextrin? As Michael Pollan would say, corn, corn, corn.
Corn is so ubiquitous in our food today, that it is natural to assume that food is the reason we grow so much corn. But all those food additives and sugars made from corn, including the bane of nutritionists and foodies, high-fructose corn syrup (I highly recommend the scene in King Corn where the protagonists try to make some in their kitchen), still only make up a small fraction of the corn crop. The US don't produce corn to make high-fructose corn syrup, it produces high-fructose corn syrup because it has developed an agricultural system that profits on producing large volumes of corn anyway. The majority of that corn, until very recently, was bring to animals, largely beef cattle.
The graph to the left shows the end use of US corn over the past six years (all data that follows is from the Foreign Agriculture Service and the Economic Research Service of the USDA). The big pink block in the middle is domestic feed use (~60%, down to 47% last year). The top category is exports, most of which is also used as feed (19%). The dreaded high-fructose corn syrup has been around 7% (5% last year) of the corn crop, glucose / dextrose around 2-3%, beverage alcohol (yep, there's corn in that Bud Light) around 1-2%. Cereals and other foods? 2%.
The one area of growth (in blue) is fuel alcohol, or ethanol. Last year, 24% of all US corn production (29% of non-export corn) was used for ethanol. The percent breakdown of corn use changed the last few years as a result of the ethanol surge. But the other uses of corn, in terms of raw numbers did not. Exports and feed use were relatively flat (an assumption made in our paper on the subject). The US simply grew more corn to produce ethanol. As many have been arguing, that is why US production of corn-based ethanol has not played a role in the global food crisis. No harm, no foul, right?
Tempting, but there are two holes in that argument.
First, the extra corn for ethanol has to be planted on productive croplands, lands with the right soils, and most of that land is being used. In 2007, soybean planting - the other major feed crop grown in the midwest US - went down 16% in the US to make space for more corn. Soybean exports and use remained the same, but the ending stocks were down 72%. In other words, we've been cleaning out the cupboards.
Soy planting is back up to 2006 levels this year, as prices rose and farmer rotate those fields full of corn back to soy, as is common practice. If the US to keep up ethanol production, soy planting will probably drop again the following year, or corn exports will go down. In other words, if corn ethanol production is to continue or increase, the US is most likely going to have to i) export less corn, ii) export less soybean, or iii) produce less domestic feed.
Complicated business - and potentially very profitable business. If you are a speculative investor with a fast computer, there's a lot of money to be made betting on crop production. The world relies on a very small number of staple crops for food and feed: corn, soybeans, wheat, rice, and other regional crops like cassava. The planted area, production and price of one can affects the others. The ethanol surge in the US paved the way for more speculative investment in commodities, which has helped drive up prices.
Second, the US is the world's largest producer of corn and soybeans. The demand for both has been rising for years because of rising meat consumption in Asia.. The US produced 43% of world's corn in 2007/2008 (right). The US is also responsible for two-thirds of all the global corn exports. If you need to buy some corn, there are few other places to shop. Last year, the amount of corn used for ethanol in the US in 2007/2008 is greater than the domestic corn production of every other country in the world, save China. That's taking a lot of potential grain off the market. Now, yes, exports remained steady last year. But to meet the growing demand - feed consumption in China alone is rising a few percent a year - exports should be growing. The signs point to, at best, exports remaining constant, or at worst, exports decreasing.
There are a lot of causes of the current food price crisis - I recommend the FAO's website for information. Many have called it a perfect storm of oil prices, ethanol production, rising meat consumption, drought, price speculation, rising population. The corn-based ethanol surge in the US is not the sole cause, by any means, but it has played a role.
The global food system may have been a dam that was ready to break. The growing population and growing demand for animal feed had filled the reservoir up to capacity. The US ethanol policy helped crack some holes in the concrete.

Perhaps most bloggers are far too young to remember the dawn of a TV series created by Gene Roddenberry in 1966. Happily, I am not too young. Although there were other heady dramas that had a good run in that era (e.g. 'The Fugitive'), few were longer on plot, ideas, and characterization than the original Star Trek, starring William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, amongst others. More recently there have been various attempts to recreate the magic on the original show on TV, and by way of the movies, but frankly most of the movies were not that memorable and most of the TV shows were sadly completely forgettable. Could anyone and anything reboot the Starship Enterprise in an enterprising way? As it turns out, the answer is yes, J.J. Abrams, now famous as the director of another blockbuster TV series--- 'Lost'.
It is hard of course to do an hommage without it feeling like a rehash, and even harder to do a respectful reboot while still offering a fresh take on things. And yet it has happened, and full marks to Abrams and company for pulling off a near miracle. We have readily recognizable characters from the original show, who are not merely imitating the original characters but in fact developing those characters in fresh and interesting ways. Though you may not recognize any of the fresh faces, save of course Leonard Nimoy playing the older Spock, it matters not. The story and the characters carry the movie. Here too is a movie that is not so dependent on the technology that it requires a special effect a minute to keep the audience enthralled, although there are some special special effects. No is the characters and the dialogue and story line that have the zip in this movie, and they are able to play with the full emotional palette ranging from anger to arrogance to love to hate to humor and much more. This is a movie I would gladly watch many more times and grow weary of it. Indeed, with a PG 13 rating it is basically family friendly (except perhaps one scene)and in fact leaves you wanting more--- the two hours fairly zip by in this movie.
No its not the Klingons who are the bad guys in this reboot, its a rogue Romulan named Nero, which oddly is said to be Spock's first name as well (but then Kirk's middle name also comes from the Roman emperors-- Tiberius) Nero is ticked because he had to watch while his own planet was destroyed, an event for which he blames Spock, wrongly. And so he is bent on revenge, which leaves him bent out of shape, perpetually. The story develops largely as prequel telling us how this crew ended up on the Enterprise 'boldly going where no one has gone before'.
What does Abrams bring to this movie. Well, it definitely has a LOST feel not least because it involves time travel and at least one character meeting himself coming and going, so to speak. Furthermore the future keeps impinging on the past, and can be fixed by going to the past. And then there are the unexpected twists, like Spock as a lover of Uhuru. Who knew? He definitely knows how to get the most out of an ensemble cast. If you were a lover of some of the lesser characters like Chekov and Scotty, you will not be disappointed with their portrayal. In short, this movie has something for both old and new Star Trek fans. May this reboot "live long and prosper."

Well, I am a fan of the Original, but I am also a bigger fan of TNG and Voyager, both series that I think did an excellent job and carrying on the feel of the original. I've found that fans of the original have a more pessimistic view of latter series than is due.
Now to the new movie. I'm looking forward to it, but what has me worried right now is how little attention McCoy is getting. It seems they are far more focused on Uhura, while McCoy was the true third leg to Kirk and Spock (and my favorite of the original). I'll be really annoyed if they don't treat him right. - 5:36 PM
- Ben Witherington said...
Actually McCoy has far more of a part than Uhuru or Scotty.
- Tony Hunt said...
It was a surprisingly good movie. My folks watched the original as I grew up, so I'm familiar. Nonetheless DS9 is my favorite and TNG my close second.
- Alex Tang said...
It is definitely a good movie and Abrams deserves a good pad on his back for the reboot. Over the past 45 years the Star Trek universe has became incredibly detailed and it is difficult to get a good slant for story telling. Abrams solves the problem by creating a new timeline, thereby introducing a new reality.
I wonder whether we are doing the same thing in our deconstruction and reconstruction of the Bible.
Live long and prosper - 7:59 PM

Peace and long life.
Thanks for the review. I'm looking forward to the movie.

I call this one "Star Trek, 90219" with fresh young faces that the third generation since the franchises inception can enjoy.
I'm 50 something and I LOVED it! - 10:02 PM
- Bren said...
Saw if Friday night with my teenagers, adult son and daughter-in-law. Everyone liked it a lot, especially my teenagers, so it passed the generational test. The first time in a long time I haven't felt cheated out of my ticket price. Glad to see new young faces and fresh talent carrying on the great tradition. Loved the portrayals of all the characters, especially young Spock and Ahura! Just plain fun! Hubby and I are Trekkies and have covered Enterprise and are now doing Voyager on Netflix. So relaxing after a stressful day in the classroom!

Did anyone notice the best line in a movie in many a year? If I remember, James Tiberius says to Captain Pike, "Yes, I know that . . . I read your dissertation!" I am completing my last seminar in PhD land and about to embark on dissertation. I wept as I heard Kirk speak those wonderful words.

Prefatory Notice to Origen's Works.
[The great biblical scholar and critic of the first half of the third century deserves a more cordial recognition and appreciation than have always been accorded to him. While it is true that in various matters he has strange, even wild, fancies, and gives utterance to expressions which can hardly, if at all, be justified; while it is also true that he indulges beyond all reason (as it appears to us of the present age) in utterly useless speculations, and carries to excess his great love of allegorizing,-yet these are rather of the nature of possible guesses and surmises on numerous topics, of more or less interest, than deliberate, systematic teaching as matters of faith. He frequently speaks of them in this wise, and does not claim for these guesses and speculations any more credit than they may appear to his readers to be worth. In the great fundamentals of the Christian creed Origen is unquestionably sound and true. He does not always express himself in accordance with the exact definitions which the Church Catholic secured in the century after his decease, as a necessary result of the struggle with Arian and other deadly heresies; but surely, in fairness, he is not to be too severely judged for this. Some writers (e.g., J. M. Neale, in his History of the Patriarchate of Alexandria) give an unfavorable and condemnatory view of Origen and his career, but I am of opinion that Neale and others push their objections much too far. I hold that Bishop Bull, and men like him, are nearer to truth and justice in defending Origen and his lifelong labors in the cause of the Master.
The Peri\ 'Arxw=n, which has come to us through the professedly paraphrastic but really unsatisfactory version of Rufinus, is the work which has given chief offence, and brought much odium upon Origen; but as this was written in early life, and it is doubtful in how far Origen is responsible for many things that are in it, it is only fair and just to judge him by such works as the Kata\ Ke/lson and his valuable Homilies on various books of Holy Scripture.1 These go far to prove clearly that he, whom Dr. Barrow designates as "the father of interpreters," is worthy the high estimate which ancient as well as modern defenders of his good name have fully set forth, and to justify the conviction, that, if we possessed more out of the numerous works of his which have entirely perished, we should rank him even more highly than is done by Bishop Bull in his Defendio Fidei Nicenae2
In conclusion, I give a paragraph from the very valuable Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament, by Dr. F. H. Scrivener,3 one of the ablest of living biblical scholars and critics:-
" Origen is the most celebrated biblical critic of antiquity. His is the highest name among the critics and expositors of the early Church. He is perpetually engaged in the discussion of various readings of the New Testament, and employs language, in describing the then existing state of the text, which would be deemed strong if applied even to its present condition, after the changes which sixteen more centuries must needs have produced.... Seldom have such warmth of fancy and so bold a grasp of mind been united with the lifelong, patient industry which procured for this famous man the honourable appellation of Adamantius." S.]

The excessive consumption of alcohol negatively affects the body and mind and has a huge impact on all organs of the body, especially the brain and liver.
Alcohol – including beer, wine, and liquor – is a central nervous system depressant. However, the consumption of one beer daily can be beneficial for health. Beer is higher in vitamin B and protein than wine and has the equal amount of antioxidants with wine.
Beer is high in flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants, as well as minerals that are crucial for various metabolic processes. If consumed moderately, beer can boost health in various ways.
These are 10 Good Reasons Why You Should Drink "ONE" Beer a day:
- Beer can lower bad cholesterol, as it contains fiber that effectively reduces LDL cholesterol levels.
- The beer has been shown to effectively prevent the formation of blood clots.
- Beer supports the health of your kidneys, and a bottle of this drink daily lowers the risk of developing kidney stones by 40%.
- Beer strengthens your bones, as the high silicon content leads to higher bone density.
- Beer boosts the vitamin B levels, as it is a rich source of several B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, and B12). Experts also claim that people who drink beer have 30 percent higher levels of vitamin B6 than their non-drinking counterparts, and double the levels of wine drinkers. Beer is also high in vitamin B12.
- Beer greatly lowers the risk of a heart attack, and scientists have shown that beer drinkers have a 40 to 60 percent lowered risk of suffering a heart attack in comparison to non-beer drinkers.
- Beer contains lactoflavin and nicotinic acid, which help you fall asleep easily.
- Beer supports the proper function of the brain, and beer drinkers have a lowered risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
- Beer will make your skin healthy, youthful and smooth, as its vitamins have a beneficial effect on pigmentation and regenerate the skin.
- Beer helps you fight stress. The findings of a study conducted at the University of Montreal showed that the consumption of two glasses of beer daily reduces work-related stress or anxiety.

Rushing âtoken mappingâ could hurt Aussie crypto space â Finder founder
Australian crypto entrepreneur and investor Fred Schebesta has described the Australian government's prioritization of token mapping as "wonderful," but warns that rushing it could lead to detrimental effects on the economy.
Schebesta's comments come after Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers released a statement on Aug. 22 stating that the "treasury will prioritize token mapping work" in 2022 to show how "crypto assets and related services should be regulated."
Speaking to Cointelegraph, Schebesta believes Australia already has a "fledgling" crypto industry but needs to "align with the other major markets and their regulations."
Schebesta added that the "intricacies" of token mapping are not clear, and "things are changing as well."
Schebesta is an Australian entrepreneur and investor — best known as the co-founder of Finder, an Australian comparison website. Schebesta is also a co-founder of crypto investment fund Hive Empire Capital and an advisor for Balthazar, an NFT gaming platform.
He explained that if "we rush" — the token mapping exercise could turn away crypto companies, particularly if there's a "very different approach" to other countries.
Schebesta stressed that it's not the time to "rush it out," but take the time "to just take it easy and really, really do some deeper analysis."
The token-mapping announcement from Australia's new Labor government came three months after it came into power, breaking a long silence on how it would approach crypto regulation in the country.
At the time, Treasurer Chalmers said the government wanted to reign in on the "largely unregulated" crypto sector.
"As it stands, the crypto sector is largely unregulated, and we need to do some work to get the balance right so we can embrace new and innovative technologies," he said.
Related: Australia's new government finally signals its crypto regulation stance
While many in the industry lauded the announcement as an "important step" for the industry, some were disappointed that there the country was not "further along" the path to regulatory certainty.
Australian lawyer Liam Hennessy, partner at Gadens told Cointelegraph that Australia has been at the "forefront of the crypto developments," but worries that the country is "slowly falling behind the U.K. and U.S." due to failure to create rules for those "in the crypto industry, in particular those in financial services."
Hennessy believes that while token mapping is vital, it shouldn't be the primary focus for regulators.
"It should be secondary to actually creating some tax rules and regulations around licensing that we can give to our businesses that really need to hear it so they can compete with our global competitors."
He fears that Australia is falling into the trap of "thinking that a little bit of attention from the government will solve the problems," which he believes that the token mapping exercise "to some extent, is being viewed as."
Schebesta said he spoke at a senate hearing in 2021 where he highlighted "Australia would have a huge influx of new businesses […] because it's a safe, stable, and great regulatory place to build their business," adding that "tens of thousands" of jobs would be created "in the next two to three years."

For years, policymakers have attempted to create communities where a diverse group of residents not only live close to one other but also interact freely – in other words, neighborhoods that are both integrated and socially cohesive.
But that might be a lost cause, a Michigan State University sociologist argues in a new study.
As reported in the American Journal of Community Psychology, Zachary Neal found that neighborhood integration and cohesion cannot co-exist.
"Is a better world possible? Unfortunately, these findings show it may not be possible to simultaneously create communities that are both fully integrated and fully cohesive," Neal said. "In essence, when it comes to neighborhood desegregation and social cohesion, you can't have your cake and eat it too."
The reason has to do with how people form relationships. Neal said people usually develop relationships with others who are close rather than far away, and similar rather than different from themselves (be it through race, religion, social class, etc.).
Neal ran computer modeling of different fictional neighborhoods and, after millions of trials, consistently found the same thing: The more integrated a neighborhood is, the less socially cohesive it becomes, and vice versa.
"These trends are so strong, it's unlikely policy can change it," Neal said.
He said policymakers should instead try to find the right balance between integration and cohesion, which may differ from community to community.
Neal said he started the project because past research had failed to turn up a city that is both truly integrated and cohesive – from the United States to the United Kingdom to Asia. But it's not from lack of effort, he said.
"It's not that local leaders and policymakers aren't trying hard enough," Neal said. "Rather, we now think it's because the goals of integration and cohesion are just not compatible with each other."
Jennifer Watling Neal, assistant professor of psychology, co-authored the study.

Thank you for highlighting the work of the CASA Program and a special thanks to you for the work you are doing to help children in the foster care system. The time you are dedicating to training will be so worth the personal rewards you gain in helping a child. Cindy this is an outstanding show and tell post!!!

What you about to embark on will fill your heart and make a huge difference in the lives of those you touch!!! I too found myself feeling this way as my children grew, my outlet was to become a youth leader in my church for middle and high schoolers. Not only was it rewarding but I also learned a great deal from these kids, you are right, not everyone grows up with the support system they need. Bless your heart for all you are doing!!!

Wow Cindy, I am excited for you! I agree with you that there is something missing inside until we start sharing with others our own strength and hope. The children you work with will benefit greatly from your advocacy but in the end you may be the one to benefit the most. At least that's what I've found through volunteering. Kudos to you!
Thanks for the great party dear lady and blessings to you,

I have a friend that is a child therapist and although she doesn't say who they are she in general tells of the many issues that children and their families go through and the reasons why children need someone on their side in situations that adults can't help themselves and bring trauma into their lives that affects them in everyday situations, that includes school and their peer groups. I think its outstanding that you want to reach out and make a difference.

Thank you for introducing us to this program Cindy! Yesterday I spoke with a woman who works with my husband's company. Her stepdaughter just gave birth to a meth baby. The social worker is looking for a foster home for the baby until the mother can clean herself up from drugs. It's doubtful that she will because she also has a three year old daughter living with her parents because she cannot care for her. So many children are tragically living in the foster care system because of drug abuse. This CASA program sounds like such a great one and I will check into it further. God Bless you for sharing your talents and compassion with children in need. I know the rewards will be great.
Big Texas Hugs,

Cindy.....God bless you for being a CASA. I formally worked in foster care for 20+ years and CASA's were often times a saving grace for us all, particularly the children. Thank you for being that person!!!!!
