Other Minds Festival, 'Ström,' review
Published 5:25 pm, Sunday, March 3, 2013
Human and electronic performers are sharing the stage with ever greater frequency, in a partnership that can be either fruitful or merely bewildering. There were examples of both on display during Saturday night's concert at the San Francisco Jewish Community Center, the final installment of this year's Other Minds Festival.
In fact, the evening's most gripping component was purely electronic, and it was delayed while the Swedish composer Mattias Petersson's video-computer hookup indulged in a little display of willfulness that would have done any operatic prima donna proud. But once the performance of "Ström" got fully under way, the results were fully worth the wait.

The piece, which was accompanied by a wonderful abstract video by Fredrik Olofsson, is a robust minimalist dance executed by the buzzes and zaps of electronic circuitry. It begins almost imperceptibly, with a few quiet bzzt! sounds that quickly coalesce into a series of funky rhythmic patterns.
What's interesting about this opening segment is that listeners have almost entirely negative associations with those sounds. Sure, there's the tradition of big feedback arias a la Jimi Hendrix, but those depend on power and volume for their effect. When we hear just a little burble of electronic feedback, that's almost always a sign of something gone wrong.
Arabesques from noise
So Petersson's skillful project of building beautiful arabesques out of those noises has a kind of perverse wonder to it at first, a musical analogue of junk sculpture.
But then he ups the ante, expanding the piece into ever more potent variations. The rhythms become more densely intricate, the sound palette richer and more varied. The piece builds in an impeccably graded crescendo before cutting off in a final climactic explosion, and Olofsson's video - a marvelous dance of white lines against a black background - echoes the progress of the music.
In a statelier and more environmental vein, the evening included "Sparrows in Supermarkets," Paula Matthusen's beautiful piece for recorder and electronics. Part nature study and part sound installation, the piece places chirrupy birdsongs amid a sonic setting that echoes and blurs them, giving them a kind of intimate expansiveness that is altogether touching.
Recorder rendition
Michala Petri, the Danish recorder virtuoso, gave the piece a loving rendition, which came after an even more demanding account of "Vogelstimmung" ("Birdsong") by the Faroese composer Sunleif Rasmussen. The premise of the piece is simple enough - it comprises three movements' worth of avian warbling reimagined for different recorders - but the piece's details run very deep.
The two outer movements are in a relatively comic vein, taking gentle fragments of birdsong and turning them first into lyrical etudes and then into vivacious flurries of repeated notes. In between comes a long, mournful episode for tenor recorder, during which the performer sings and plays simultaneously in elegiac counterpoint.
Rewards during the rest of the evening were harder to come by. In Aaron Gervais' "Work Around the World," Amy X Neuberg intoned the word for "work" in a dozen different languages (this proved less revealing than the composer imagined), while the four players of the William Winant Percussion Group offered contrapuntal gestures. To conclude, Matthusen was joined by Pamela Z for a series of vocal and electronic performances - improvisatory and otherwise - that came and went without making much impact.

"Love Story"
October 9, 2013
Behind the red door. Sad plinky music box. Sad, wan lady in the big brass bed. Titus explains that his wife, Jessica, is diabetic and two years into renal failure. He's devised his own system of dialysis. Find someone with O-negative blood and bleed them dry. Lather, rinse, repeat. Titus kisses his wife's hand and she cringes. The Reavers strap Miles down to a gurney. Jessica stares at him in silent apology.
Juliet and the rescue party sneak in through the tunnels and free Miles. Huzzah for secret tunnels that lead to the exact place you need to go! He insists they have to take Jessica with them. It's the only way to ensure the town survives the night. He sends RevDocCam ahead with her and stays behind to retrieve his sword and Sarah. A Reaver comes into the room and townie rescue guy shoots him because stealth and surprise are not at all important. Fleeing from the Reavers. Fleeing from the Reavers. Fleeing from the Reavers.
Aaron has spent the night explaining Season 1 to Cynthia. "I realize it sounds fairly stupid." HAH! Really Kripke, just let it go. Move on. Aaron needs her to understand that it was the billions of tiny robots in the air – not God – who brought him back. There's no deeper meaning to it. He wasn't chosen. "I'm not Harry Potter, okay?!"
The rescue party comes racing through the town gates just ahead of the horde of Reavers. Not!Rick Grimes soils himself. There's an instant stalemate – if Titus comes in, Miles will slit Jessica's throat. "I've still got one good hand." If Miles harms Jessica, Titus is coming in. If he comes in … Leaver realizes this could go on all day, and pulls Titus aside. He reminds him that the US Government is paying him to scare the town, "not gut them." The headmaster is unimpressed. He doesn't care about their diamonds or their "sweaty little plan" for the town. They're just a bunch of plague rats off some boat from Cuba. Titus wants his wife – or he'll bleed Willoughby alive.
Charlie and Teeth are still on the hunt for Monroe in the Plains Nation. He finds them first. He knocks out Teeth and tries to forge an uneasy truce with Charlie. He shows her the stack of warrants in the bounty hunters' wagon. One for him – and one for Juliet. He notes the Eye of Providence on the corner of each document. Randall Flynn wore a ring with the same symbol. If the US Government is half as bad as he was … Charlie's family may not want Monroe's help, but they're going to need it. Charlie is all like, walking away now delusional.
In the Savannah refugee camp, Neville and Nason are beaten unconscious and taken to a second location by a
hippie group of men. Nason thinks it's a mugging. Neville reads it correctly as a vetting by the Patriots. They don't find anything suspicious in the men's belongings, but then the CO wouldn't expect Major Tom Neville to be that sloppy. He has a hard time believing that a conniving traitor would want to help the United States. Neville agrees that he doesn't. What he wants is revenge for the death of his wife. "Every night, I picture the same thing. My wife … she looks up. Hears the blast. As the glass shatters … and as she bursts into flame … I wonder. Did she feel it? It was my job to protect her. I want Monroe to pay. I need. Him. To pay. I want to help you find him." He challenges the CO to take a good, hard look. Is he lying now? Secretary Allenford stops the CO as he's about to put a bullet in Neville's brain. It's a lovely story and he tells it so well, but she doesn't know whether he's lying or not. It doesn't matter. What's important are his unique skills. She orders him released. Nason is spared as well. They have special plans for him – as long as Neville doesn't have a problem with it. Neville doesn't hesitate. "No ma'am. Whatever it takes." Nason really should know better by now.
RevDocCam bandages Miles' hand *cough* nanogenes *cough* while Not!Rick calls shenanigans on his plan. "Aren't you pretty much the town drunk?" People used to say the same thing about Bobby Singer. THEY WERE WRONG! SO WRONG! *SOB* Miles offers Titus a brief glimpse of his wife and then states his terms. The townspeople get safe passage out of Willoughby. Once they're clear, Titus can have his wife – and Miles and his O-negative blood. "You can milk me dry, tiger."
Jessica has other plans. She thought when she got sick that she was finally free. But Titus wouldn't let her go. He killed people – for her. She's not going back. Juliet leaves her alone long enough for Jessica to use a shard from a broken IV bottle to slash her wrists. She whispers "I'm sorry" as she bleeds out. "I had to get away." Miles tell Juliet to say nothing and to smile because she's a professional. As he oversees the wagons and tries to get as many people out as possible, Titus sends a man in. He's not just going to trust that his beloved is alright. The Governor of Hawaii can't believe this is how the town dies. They survived the blackout, bandits, and two cholera outbreaks. Few can survive the controlled chaos that follows Miles and Juliet.
The last wagon loads up and Miles and Juliet blah blah about feelings and staying and fighting and not getting on the wagon blah long enough for Titus to learn that Jessica is dead and launch an attack. Fighting fighting dying fighting. Miles takes on a half a dozen Reavers left handed. Their boarding school sense of fair play is clearly in evidence as they politely rush him one at a time. Juliet takes an arrow in the chest. The Reavers finally get Miles on the ground and are about to deliver the killing blow when they're all mowed down by automatic gunfire. It's the US Government. They're here to help. A medic is summoned to Juliet's side as more troops march in. They begin clearing the dead and tending to the wounded as the Stars and Stripes is raised over the town square.
Revolution airs Wednesday at 7:00 pm on NBC.
Whitney is also watching Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, and Hawaii Five-0.

1. Learn About T.A.C.T
T.A.C.T. stands for Temperature, Agitation, Chemistry, and Time. It means, the hotter the water the better it cleans. The more elbow grease you use the better it cleans. The stronger the chemicals are, the better it cleans. The longer you let it soak or sit, the better it cleans.
Now think about the average American cleaning product. They're designed to be used at ROOM TEMPERATURE. (Goodbye, Temperature.) They're meant to be sprayed and WIPED…within MINUTES (There goes Agitation and Time). Now, what's left? CHEMISTRY.
Let's repeat that:
The reason our store-bought cleaners these days are so CHEMICALLY POWERFUL is because we don't want to WAIT (Time), or SCRUB(Agitation), and we want to use it at ROOM TEMP (Temperature). Therefore, all the cleaning power has to be in the CHEMISTRY.
So, why does this help us simplify? Because you can use this formula in reverse. There's no need for multiple versions of the same cleaner in varying strengths. If it's a light job, spray and wipe at room temp. If the job is bigger, either let the product sit, or use hot water, or use some elbow grease. If the job is really big, use HOT water, let it soak a LONG time, and SCRUB the mess out of it. No need for multiple strengths.
2. Gather your kit.
I keep all of these under my kitchen sink, minus the bar soap. We use it for handwashing, so there's one at every sink.
- spray bottle of vinegar
- spray bottle of alcohol
- spray bottle of hydrogen peroxide
- access to oil (I like olive)
- box of cornstarch
- box of baking soda
- bars of soap, like Ivory (or liquefied bars of soap, if you prefer)
For scrubby supplies, I'd suggest:
- what you like to wipe with: sponges, rags, or paper towels
- palm-sized scrub brush
- old toothbrush if you have grout
- generic magic eraser (optional, but I can't live without them.)
THAT'S IT!!!! You can now clean your whole house! And most of this stuff will also be used for stains too!
3. Use the DOUBLE SPRITZ technique.
Every one of the cleaners you can make for your household are a combination of the above ingredients. But there's no real reason to go ahead and mix up ten different bottles of cleaners if you know how to DOUBLE SPRITZ. Check out my technique below and print out my pdf, DOUBLE SPRITZ DIY.
General All-Purpose Wipe Down (counters, appliances, floors, etc):
- Spritz with just vinegar, or DOUBLE SPRITZ any combination of the spray above.
- Leave a while, if crusty.
- Wipe away. (Scoot on bath towel for floors.)
*for one step up in clean, use a generic magic eraser before you wipe it all up.
Double Spritz Disinfectant (can even be used on food, see link):
- DOUBLE SPRITZ vinegar and peroxide in any order.
- Wipe or allow to dry.
- The reaction is the important part so don't go ahead and mix them in the bottle.
Dishwashing, Scrubbing Most Anything Including Floor Grout (not Soap Scum):
- Bang wet brush on the soap bar.
- Scrub the mess out of it.
- Wipe off suds, rinse out rag. Repeat.
- If concerned about residual soap, spritz with vinegar and wipe.
Alternative method for "sink-filling" chores like mopping, floor scrubbing, or lots of dishes:
- Throw bar of soap in sink
- Run hot water over it while filling sink.
Serious, Hard Core, Vicious Scrub (not soap scum)
- Sprinkle with baking soda
- Dip brush in HOT water and bang on bar soap (not spritzing, but there's your DOUBLE)
- Scrub the mess out of it
Alternative method (fine for soap scum):
- Sprinkle with baking soda
- Spray generously with peroxide (First a shake, then a spritz, still DOUBLE, no?)
- Scrub the mess out of it.
Soap Scum and Hard Water Deposit Scrub
- Spray generously with vinegar.
- Walk away for an hour or more. (Do not allow to dry.)
- Wipe with magic eraser. (OR scrub with brush, sigh)
- Rinse.
- If not gone, sprinkle generously with baking soda.
- Walk away for a while.
- Scrub with brush.
- Rinse with vinegar for a fizzy, bubble-the-scum-away finish.
Glass, Mirrors, Windows and the like:
- Spritz mirror with both vinegar and alcohol.
- Wipe with something that's not linty.
Wood polish:
- Spritz with vinegar and then oil (or put some oil on your cloth, if it's not a spray.)
- Rub in.
- Wipe off excess.
Pulling out oil, moisture, odors, from carpet, upholstery, your dog, your hair (kid you not)
- sprinkle on some cornstarch
- sprinkle on some baking soda
- lightly brush it in
- wait (the longer the more thorough)
- vacuum (not your dog or your hair, HA! Brush out.)

Equinix has signed up another customer for its Melbourne data centre (ME1), which is cloud services provider Cloud365.
The company provides software-as-a-service (SaaS) to customers in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United States.
By deploying in ME1, Cloud365 can connect directly to its customers and partners within the data centre to deliver its solutions.
"Cloud is the key driver for our clients and we're seeing growing demand from customers as they realise the benefits of not having to invest in their own infrastructure and network capacity," Cloud365 general manager and founder, Darren Moss, said in a statement.
"Equinix allows us to reduce costs and optimise data centre infrastructure."
The cloud services provider began working with Equinix in October 2013 when it took space in the data centre provider's International Business Exchange facility in Virginia, US.
In November 2014, telecommunications firm National Voice + Data signed up to take space in ME1.
The deal means the telco can expand its voice, data and cloud infrastructure services to customers in Victoria. National Voice + Data has used Equinix's Sydney data centre, SY3, since 2009.
In October 2014, digital entertainment network provider Cinenet announced that it would be one of the first tenants in ME1.
At the time, Cinenet director Tony Clark said it would be investing $70,000 in network infrastructure at ME1.
Once completed, the $66 million ME1 facility will provide customers with capacity of 1,500 cabinets. According to the vendor, 375 cabinets are scheduled for completion by December 31, 2014.

February 29, 2008
– Comments (2) |
If you've ever looked at the massive list of companies that I have picked in CAPS, I try to keep my list at a constant 200 or close to it, you can tell that I'm going with the throw as much stuff at the wall as possible and see what sticks approach. I obviously don't do this in real life. Back in November I began to take the time to start writing up reports on my favorite stock ideas and sharing them in my blog. With a couple of them under my belt, I figured that it was time to keep track of how they are performing. This is still the first inning so to speak, because I bought them in CAPS and in real life with the intention of holding them for several years.
Pick #1: Altria (MO)
Start date: 10/11/07
Starting price: $69.11
Current price: $73.78
Return: +6.75%
CAPS score: +19.65
Despite the fact that it has fallen from its recent highs, Altria has done pretty well since I did my initial write-up on it. While I think that Altria will be a fairly attractive investment after its spin-off of Philip Morris International is complete, I was really after the PMI business with this purchase. It's always tough to decide to purchase shares of a company before a spin-off happens or to wait until after the transaction to pick up the piece that you really want. Ultimately I see myself hanging onto the full PMI position in my portfolio and selling off probably half of the remaining Altria shares, but I'm playing it by ear. Hopefully big MO's share price will begin to rise as the spin-off date of late March approaches.
Pick #2: Mattel (MAT)
Start date: 11/5/07
Starting price: $20.58
Return: -1.84%
CAPS score: +6.7
It's debatible whether Mattel should be considered a real pick or not because in the write-up I said "I think that I am going to sit on the sidelines for a little while until this one absolutely screams buy, but it's getting pretty close." Well, it never screamed buy to me and I never did buy MAT in my real portfolio. The company has been performing exceptionally well, benefitting from a lot of the trends that I mentioned in my write-up, particularly global growth. Nevertheless, it has been sucked down with the rest of the market lately. Mattell is probably in better shape today than it was when I wrote about it and its shares are slighgtly lower.
Pick #3: Telmex (TMX)
Start date: 11/30/07
Starting price: $36.84
Return: -5.1%
CAPS score: +2.55
My next selection was another spin-off play, but this one was a little different than Altria because I have almost no desire to retain the Mexican fixed-line operations of Telmex after the spin-off of its international operations is complete. Again I was feced with the challenge of deciding whether to purchase Telmex now or wait until the transaction is complete. I decided to pull the trigger right away. I have been less than impressed by the proformance of TMX's Mexican operations since then, but the International business is doing great. The only think that is keeping this pick from having a negative CAPS score is that the general market in the form of the S&P 500 has sucked worse than Telmex has over the past couple of months. I'm still really excited about picking up the international business and believe that it will ultimately be a big winner. In my real portfolio I will probably eventually sell off the remaining Mexican business unless it A) becomes mind-blowingly cheap after the spin-off or B) they finally get the ability to offer television over the Internet.
Pick #4: Chicago Bridge & Iron (CBI)
Start date: 2/14/08
Starting price: $42.40
Return: +14.32%
CAPS score: +14.12
Interestingly, my most recent selection is also the bestperformer of the group. Chicago Bridge & Iron is up over 14% since I picked it up in real life and CAPS just two weels ago. Man, I'm glad that I pulled the trigger on it when I did. I would have been really annoyed if its stock ran up 15% between the time that I started my write-up and finished it. My theory that certain infrastructure plays, particularly the ones that are heavily involved in energy, were oversold on worries about the overall economy while their clients were printing money is playing out already. CBI recently reported its Q4 results. Despite the fact that it slightly missed analysts' estimates it raised its guidance for 2008.
Well, there you have it. My four official write-ups so far. To be fair, I have decided to only count companies in this scorecard that I have done large writeups for in my blog, rather than cherry picking some of my best ideas from the past like Monsanto and Deer as ethanol plays or Petrobras. I hope that you like them. If you have any thoughts on these companies, please let me know.
Have a great weekend
Long MO, TMX, & CBI
Deej: regarding Altria, I would keep all of it. The tobacco companies have a basic oligopoly, and cigarettes are something that will always keep up with inflation. While I agree with PMI, and that the domestic part might not grow as much, I still see upside there and no real reason to sell unless you have a screaming buy (like SBUX right now?) that you are going to use that money for where you really feel you will get a better return. PM domestic I think will be like a utility play - steady slow growth over years with a strong dividend. There is virtually no competition outside of the tobacco companies already entrenched.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts DemonDoug. I see your point about Altria's U.S. business. I don't dislike the U.S. operations, I just like the PMI business better. At this point, I am probably planning on ultimately keeping half of the U.S. business. I have acquired a much larger than normal position in Altria in advance of the spin-off anticipating that MO might run up in March as the transaction date approaches. I plan on normalizing the size of my MO position and keeping the entire PMI position at some point.

Rian Johnson has been slowly leaking drips of information about his new project for a couple of months now, but the official word is out. He'll next write and direct Looper, a twisted sci-fi tale.
The man who brought us Brick and the incoming Brothers Bloom will handle the tale of a group of hit men who receive their instructions on who to kill from the future.
There's no word on exactly when he – and his characters – will start shooting yet, but Johnson wants to get going next year.
Looper's concept Sounds paradox-licious to us, but if anyone can pull it off, it's Johnson.

Since the beginning of time, humans have endeavored to be younger, more beautiful, and more athletic. But lately, there has been a shift toward being smarter, more alert, and earning more money instead. It's possible some of that is due to the movies where the detective takes some secret smart drugs, or nootropics as they known scientifically, and then goes on to solve nearly impossible cases using sheer brain power.
There Are Many Ways To Increase Your Intelligence
Starting with your diet, you need to cut back on the refined sugar, even the sugar that is baked into bread and pastries. Next, you should add lots of lean protein since your body will digest that slowly and it won't create insulin spikes or droughts. Plus, cold water fish has lots of Omega 3 fatty acids that do slightly increase brain power, reduce the risks of Alzheimer's, and it cleans some of the plaque in the blood vessels resulting in better circulation in the brain and heart.
Every day should start with a high fiber, low sugar, breakfast like oatmeal with some quality fresh fruits and maybe some nuts. Nuts are an excellent food for the brain because of their balance of fiber, fat, and complex carbohydrates.
The next best thing to do is exercise every day, vigorously, for at least 30 minutes. If you have to split it up, that won't matter but what it does is get your blood flowing, insulin pumping, clears out the cobwebs and gives you lasting energy while increasing longevity.
Now That You Have The Day Started Right, What Should You Take?
You'll see many herbal nootropics on the market that consist mostly of stimulants like caffeine and other natural ingredients. Don't pay a lot of money for them since you can drink coffee and get the same results. Caffeine is considered helpful as a smart drug; it does increase alertness, focus, and several other valuable things. However, it can brutally drop you off a cliff after several hours so be aware of your doses and the fact that it won't keep working past a certain point.
Another good nootropic is called Noopept that was developed in Russia to help their military and other government branches. It turned out to be quite effective at increasing cognitive function and is much stronger than many of the other nootropics on the market. While it is classified as a racetam, a group of nootropics, it's technically not. Here are some other alternatives to noopept if that happens to be banned where you live.
Piracetam is a racetam and was one of the original drugs that were developed in that family. It was designed in Belgium and has become one of the most popular nootropics on the market. It's been studied heavily and is still not entirely understood but is thought to improve cognition by influencing the AMPA receptors. It increases blood flow to the brain along with oxygen as well. Right now it's legal in the UK but not in the United States. Lots of college student swear by its effectiveness, and it's quite popular among them.
Aniracetam is another attractive alternative to noopept and is considered to be stronger and more powerful than most. It improves mood, memory, focus, and alertness as well. It is being investigated for use in several neurodegenerative disorders and may at some future date be prescribed for those. It's available by prescription in Europe but not in the US at this time.
If you're thinking of taking nootropics to increase your intelligence or alertness, there is a lot to learn. Some things work well for some people and not others, so you have to try some methods and keep records. There are lots of forums to read where the other posters aren't trying to sell you something, and that's probably the best place to start your education in the world of nootropics or smart drugs.

WHO director general brings seasoned urgency to flu battle
Chan guided by lessons learned from SARS in '03
- |
NEW YORK - There have been few more dramatic moments at the World Health Organization than the late-night gathering on April 29 when Dr. Margaret Chan, its powerful director general, declared that the human race was in peril.
"After all, it really is all of humanity that is under threat during a pandemic," Chan said to the world's gathered news media.
Since her announcement, worry over the swine flu outbreak has eased. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has advised that schools reopen. And coverage of the flu outbreak no longer dominates cable news shows.
But Chan has yet to relax the alert level of the organization, the public health arm of the United Nations. That is because the warning system is based on how far the virus has spread, not its lethality. While most praise the actions of Chan and the WHO in the current outbreak, some have said that the organization needs to adjust its warning system to reflect what is known about the severity of the spreading illness.
"The WHO needs a mechanism to dial down the anxiety levels while educating us about the extent of the transmission," said Dr. William Schaffner, chairman of the preventive medicine department at Vanderbilt University.
In an interview, Chan said she had been guided in her recent decisions by her experiences during the 2003 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, in Hong Kong, where she led the Health Department.
"That helped me to understand that managing a high pressure crisis that affects life and suffering of so many people, I need to approach it with a sense of urgency," she said.
Rules adopted in 2005 by the WHO, based in Geneva, have made Chan perhaps the most powerful international public health official in history. She no longer must beg for cooperation from national authorities but can demand information about threats to global health.
All of this authority is packed into a diminutive woman with large glasses who does not drive, type or cook, is fond of sharp suits and silver pins, and may be among the most qualified people in the world to lead the global response to the threat of a pandemic flu. "She is superbly qualified to deal with emergencies like the one we have been living through," said Dr. Julio Frenk, dean of the Harvard School of Public Health who was Chan's chief rival when she won the top WHO post in 2006.
And it all started because her boyfriend decided to move to Canada. Born in 1947, Chan grew up in Hong Kong and became a teacher. When David Chan, who would become her husband, left Hong Kong for college in Canada in 1969, she worried that the separation would end their relationship. So she consulted her mother, who told her to follow her heart to Canada. Then, when he decided to become a doctor, she worried that his medical studies would leave him no time for her. So she decided to become a doctor with him. But first, she had to win over a dean at the University of Western Ontario who, in her admissions interview, told her that she should become a homemaker, not a doctor.
Chan studied pediatrics and joined the Hong Kong Health Department in its maternal and child health group in 1978. She rose quickly to become the department's leader and faced a terrible decision in 1997 when an outbreak of avian influenza threatened the population. Fresh poultry is a Hong Kong staple, but Chan ordered the region's population of 1.4 million chickens and ducks slaughtered. The outbreak ended.
Public health experts who witnessed her handling of SARS gave her high marks.
Chan was later criticized by some in Hong Kong for failing to respond quickly enough to the 2003 SARS epidemic, although a panel of experts supported her leadership. Her rapid and urgent response to an infectious threat from Mexico last month grew out of that experience, several who knew her said.
In 2005, rules adopted by the WHO gave the director general complete authority to change the global pandemic alert level.
In her announcement on April 29, Chan made it clear that she alone had decided to raise the pandemic alert. In an interview, she said there would always be uncertainty about new disease threats.
"With any new disease, it's difficult to understand the full picture," she said. "One has to be modest to understand that we are competing against an enemy, the virus. And trying to understand it and reduce the anxiety of the world and reduce the suffering of people, that's not easy."

More than 15,000 students have enrolled in the course, titled Assessment and Teaching of 21st Century Skills. [2]
The University has had more than 500,000 enrolments in its MOOCs since it joined online learning platform Coursera in 2012.
The course has attracted students from 160 different countries, about 50 of which are in Asia. The cohort is highly educated; nine per cent have doctorates, 38 percent hold higher degrees, and a further 38 per cent have completed undergraduate degrees.
Like all MOOCs, Assessment and Teaching of 21st Century Skills is offered free-of-charge and enrolment is open to anyone.
While students get the chance to learn from world-leading researchers, the researchers themselves are enthusiastic about the opportunity to share and collaborate with thousands of people.
Course coordinator Patrick Griffin said the ability to harness the insights of such a large group of students was very exciting.
"MOOCs challenge everyone involved – participants and staff – to use and improve their skills in digital learning – which is in itself a 21st century skill," Professor Griffin said.
Organisers say they have learnt a lot from running this MOOC and are investigating the prospects of delivery in different languages.
"The MGSE is a world leader in delivering innovative, cutting-edge education programs, and the area of 21st century skills is one of these," Professor Griffin said.
"MOOCs offer a great opportunity to showcase such programs, and disseminate our work at scale."
More information about the MOOCs at Melbourne is available here. [3]

Miley Cyrus has done it again!
The former Disney star has given fans another reason to create hilarious, creative memes based on her oh-so-glorious work.
They started when she swam with blow-up Barbie dolls in "We Can't Stop." They continued when she twerked with a foam finger at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. Now, the internet creations have popped up in honor of her music video for "Wrecking Ball."
We've put our imagination to work and compiled some alternative props Cyrus can straddle. It appears you just don't know where twerking Miley might appear next.
Let's throw it back to The Last Song days. Is it too late to go back?
It's the best of both worlds! Miley brings her signature "Wrecking Ball" pose to the "We Can't Stop" music video.
Paging Jimmy Kimmel. Is this version real or fake?
D. Long/Globe Photos/ZUMAPRESS.com; Vevo
Sorry Dakota Johnson. You aren't the only one to get your hands on Charlie Hunnam.
Looks like this delicious cronut can't be tamed!
Watch out Christian Grey. Someone special is a fan of Fifty Shades of Grey.
Miley really is the perfect accessory to any award show. Wouldn't you agree?
Welcome to Italy! A place full of romance, pasta and the tall Tower of Pisa. As Miley says, "It's all about the climb."
Why couldn't her music video come out in time for The Simpsons movie?!
Walt Disney Company/ZUMAPRESS.com
Somebody is no longer a Disney star. She's just being Miley, ya'll!
If Miley's catchy lyrics can't bring a smile (or purr) to Colonel Meow, we don't know what will.

With Thunderball on your side, you better not mess with the best.

We have another fame monster on our hands! Miley's on the right track, baby.

The magnificent start of defensive end J.J. Watt's second season has historic implications.
Watt has been the NFL's best defensive player during the Texans' 4-0 start with 32 tackles, 7½ sacks, 10 tackles for loss, 10 quarterback pressures, five passes deflected and two fumble recoveries.
No wonder he was voted AFC Defensive Player of the Month on Thursday.
Since sacks became an official statistic in 1982, Watt is the first player since Kevin Greene in 1998 to have multiple sacks in each of the first four games in a season.
If Watt can get at least 1½ sacks against the New York Jets on Monday night, he'll be one game short of Michael Strahan's NFL record of six in a row with multiple sacks. During his six-game stretch in 2001, Strahan had 14 sacks on his way to the league record of 22½.
"You love the fanatical effort," Jets coach Rex Ryan said about Watt. "The guy plays with his hair on fire. The size (6-5, 295), strength, athleticism — it's rare to find a guy with that kind of combination.
"Obviously, if you have a vote for Defensive Player of the Year, how do you not give it to that young man? He's been absolutely tremendous."
Watt is the first to acknowledge he wouldn't be able to compile such impressive numbers without so much talent around him.
"I understand it's not just me," Watt said. "It's the whole team, not just one guy.
"I don't think (defenses) can give me special attention because of all the other players we have. That creates a lot of trouble. I need to give a lot of credit to those guys because they keep blockers off of me."
No. 1 in draft do-over
Since 1982, only eight players have registered more sacks than Watt in their first four games.
Denver's Elvis Dumervil, who recorded eight in 2009, is the only active player in that group. The New York Giants' Lawrence Taylor, the only player in the group who's a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, had eight in his first three games in 1984.
"I know my brother (Dallas defensive coordinator Rob Ryan) was wanting him (in last year's draft) but lost out in that battle," Ryan said. "They took that (offensive) tackle (Tyron Smith) instead, and Houston got Watt.
"He might be the first overall pick if you're having that draft all over again. As a defensive coach all my life, he's one of those rare guys that come along once in a long time."
What makes Watt's performance particularly impressive is that the Texans' defense has been on the field an average of only 24 minutes, 28 seconds a game because the offense ranks second in the NFL in average time of possession.
Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, who has been Watt's strongest supporter, said his end became as good as any defensive lineman in the NFL during the playoffs last season when he had 14 tackles, 3½ sacks and an interception return for a touchdown.
Likened to Long
Watt has picked up where he left off. Now he has 11 sacks in six games, counting the playoffs.
Phillips calls Watt "tremendous." Coach Gary Kubiak describes him as "incredible."
During his long career as a head coach and defensive coordinator, Phillips has coached Hall of Fame defensive linemen such as Reggie White (Philadelphia) and Bruce Smith (Buffalo).
In White's best four-game stretch, he had 10 sacks in 1986. Smith had nine in 1990.
Phillips has compared Watt to Howie Long (Raiders), who's considered the best 3-4 defensive end in league history. Long never recorded sacks in four consecutive games. In 1983, he had seven over a three-game stretch.
Kudos from teammates
Like Long and White, Minnesota's John Randle played outside and inside during his Hall of Fame career. The best four-game stretch of Randle's career was 6½ sacks during a 1997 season in which he finished with 15½.
"I've seen guys dominating in my years, but I have never seen the start of a year that J.J. is having," said Watt's Texans defensive end counterpart, Antonio Smith.
Even Watt's teammates on offense are impressed.
"He's been doing a lot of damage, and it just shows the hard work he puts in," receiver Andre Johnson said. "He's playing his butt off. He's a beast out there. We expect to hear his name called at least four or five times a game, so it doesn't surprise me what he's doing."

Some majors are identified as impacted or high demand majors. When declaring a major, be sure to determine whether or not there are special requirements to enter that major. Such majors require that students meet specific prerequisites before gaining admission. For graduate programs, check with the academic department in which you are interested for specific application requirements.
Like an academic major, a minor is a focused area of study; however, a minor does not require as many units. SF State offers a variety of minors. Most majors do not require completion of a minor to earn the degree. Currently, only the jounalism major requires a minor.
SF State offers credential programs for prospective teachers, counselors, and other education specialists.
Certificate programs are coherent sets of courses that do not lead to an academic degree but that are oriented toward particular skills or occupations. They usually take less time to complete than a degree.

Graffiti on the Train, Stylus Records **
The rockers from Cwmaman got the shock of their lives in 2009 when their last studio album, Keep Calm and Carry On, failed to follow its predecessors into the No 1 slot. I guess you can only keep purveying the same meat- and-potatoes for so long before fans start moving on. For their eighth studio album (this time without a major label) frontman Kelly Jones tries to sound a bit less Stereophonicky, and the album acts as a kind of soundtrack to a film project Jones is currently developing. His cinematic ambitions are well supported by a guest arrangement by David Arnold on Violins and Tambourines, while Indian Summer and the title track are likeable vignettes. Been Caught Cheating, however finds Jones slipping back into lazy blues, and Catacomb shows he can't resist jumping into the same old rockpit. stereophonics.com

Achievement 8: women delivering health care
During the 20th century, there was a dramatic shift in health care delivery through the admission of women into paid health professions such as midwifery, nursing and medicine. Over 75% of the paid health workforce is female with significant benefits to their socio-economic status and the quality of care provided. In addition, over 80% of all health care is provided in the home by women.

Simon and the Oaks is a book as well as a film based of the book. After seeing the film, I created a works page for it. Put it in the Main namespace, since I felt "Film" or "literature" would be partially inaccurate. I checked Harry Potter for comparision, and it had the main page in the main namespace. Then again, it seem to have it's own namespace for subpages, and Simon and the Oaks is not big enough franchise for that. Today, someone moved it to the "Film" namespace. I think this move was incorrect, but I may be wrong. So I'm asking here: When a work exist as at least two media types, what namespace does it belong in? I checked the Namespace page in Administrivia, but saw no clues there.
Seeking for Light
The work is put into the namespace of whichever media came first. So, in this case, if it's a book with a film adaptation, it should have been put into Literature/.
3 troacctid28th Mar 2012 03:52:17 PM from California
Yes, use whichever came first. If the adaptation has enough of its own tropes, it can be split off onto its own page.
Rhymes with "Protracted."
Main.Harry Potter is more of a disambiguation page, to be honest, since we have pages for the books, video games and films.

Yeah, I feel the same way.

The Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog and The Legend of Zelda main pages should perhaps have a VideoGame/ namespace... but how to deal with it... and move the first respective games to a new page... Sonic I imagine would be easy enough...

If there are pages for the video games, then we just leave the Literature/ landing and create a Main/ Franchise Index page, right? It's what was done to Yu-Gi-Oh!, which only has anime, manga, a tabletop card game, and video games. I would think any multimedia franchise ought to have a landing page in Main/.

A lil' bentô ?
Yes, this is something I'd like to be clearly defined. As of recently, I've seen many articles of Konami games being moved; and as I said in the Wick Migration page, one of those game franchises yet to be moved, Tokimeki Memorial is a huge one, with several video games, Visual Novels, and anime. I plan to create in the near future articles for the various items of the series (most notably, Tokimeki Memorial, Tokimeki Memorial 2, Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series, Tokimeki Memorial 2 Substories, and Tokimeki Memorial Only Love), so: I'd like to know, before someone tries to move the article, if we keep the current article in the regular namespace, and I'll work on moving the wicks to their future relevant articles once they'll be created; or we move the current article to the Video Game namespace, as, while it has several different items, the franchise started as, and is primary a Dating Sim.

The page is migrated to the media that first spawned it. ALL other possible name spaces are added as redirects unless the versions are distinct enough for their own pages. There have been suggestions of making a franchise namespace. That should be handled in Wiki Talk. I'll make a page for it. This thread should also be in wiki talk. Special efforts is not for asking questions.

Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez is the PFA Player of the Year.
Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez has won the PFA Player of the Year award for 2015/16, voted for by his fellow professionals.
Mahrez, 25, won the award and was there in person to receive it in London after flying there by private helicopter, The Mirror reported, along with his fellow Leicester nominees after their late Sunday afternoon kick-off at home to Swansea City.
The Foxes won the game 4-0, with appropriately, Mahrez scoring the opening goal of the game.
His record this season has been outstanding, with the strike against the Swans the 17th Premier League goal he has scored, with 11 assists.
It is hard to argue he does not deserve the award, despite the high credentials of his fellow nominees, including Leicester teammates Jamie Vardy and Ngolo Kante.
Tottenham ace Harry Kane, Mesut Ozil of Arsenal and West Ham's Dimitri Payet were also nominated, with all but the Gunners exceeding expectations this season.
Leicester have an eight point gap at the top of the Premier League but Tottenham have a game in hand at home to West Brom to play on Monday night where they can cut it to five, with three games remaining.
The team prize of winning the trophy is what everybody really wants, but Mahrez's individual greatness this season will long be remembered either way.
Here is a look at how Leicester City fans reacted on twitter to his award win...

Council praises Tralee's great Tidy Towns volunteers
THE hard work and community spirit of the volunteers who helped steer Tralee to its second Tidy Towns Gold Medal this summer has been praised by Tralee Town Council.
At Monday's monthly meeting of Tralee Town Council John Griffin, the council officer charged with overseeing Tralee's Tidy Town's effort, delivered a briefing on the county capital's successful 2013 clean up campaign.
Mr Griffin said it was credit to the many volunteers that Tralee had managed to retain it's Gold Medal a task which he said was often harder than winning the title in the first place.
"We had another great year in 2013. To win the gold medal was a great achievement but to hold on to it can be even more difficult. As you reach the higher levels of the competition, where Tralee is now, it keeps getting harder, standards get higher and the competition gets more intense," he said.
Tralee scored an impressive 298 points in this years competition, an increase of four points on last years tally, and has seen it's Tidy Towns score jump by 85 points since 2002.
"The judges couldn't believe the marks had improved in such a short time and he said his visit to Tralee had been a tremendously pleasant surprise," said John Griffin.
Tributes were also paid to the Tidy Tralee Together team and the many volunteers, led by well known local anti litter campaigner Mary O'Brien, who have been out picking the litter off Tralee's streets twice a week for several years.
There were also words off appreciation for the members of the Kerry Islamic Outreach Society, led by some of Kerry General Hospital's most senior consultants, who have become closely involved in the Tidy Tralee effort and who have joined the volunteers' weekly cleanup effort.

These world athletic championships will be remembered for Jana Pittman's striking finishing burst and her surprise win in the 400 metres hurdles.
But it was revealing that among the first to lean over the barricades to congratulate Pittman as she wound her way around the track draped in the Australian flag were the president of Athletics Australia, Andrew Forrest, and then the smiling chief executive, Simon Allatson.
Pittman had just rescued the sport. The changing of the baton from Cathy Freeman to Pittman as the heroine of the track was slick and seamless. That 53.22-second effort has not only changed Pittman's life, but made Australian athletics a lot more interesting in the lead-up to next year's Olympic Games in Athens.
Athletics Australia has no television contract signed for next year, but this will change, and it has fought off rumours about insolvency, at worst, or a weak bottom line, at best.
And without Freeman, jumping Jai Taurima and Tatiana Grigorieva, Australian athletics was looking a bit like Patrick Johnson - all flash and an occasional big performance, but not a lot else underpinning it.
We have seen this week that there are a handful of Australian athletes in Paris who have the drive and enthusiasm to want to be the best in the world.
These determined and focused athletes - such as Benita Johnson, Luke Adams, Dmitri Markov, Kris McCarthy, Youcef Abdi, Peter Nowill, Jane Saville, Patrick Johnson, Matt Shirvington, Viktor Chistiakov, Bronwyn Thompson, Lee Troop and Pittman - should be the first in the minds of selectors for the Athens Olympics because they want to win.
Athletics Australia head coach Keith Connor is being undermined by some within the sport because he refuses to mollycoddle his athletes, but his approach is the right one.
There has to be an attitudinal shift and an emphasis on personal responsibility. Thoughts such as those expressed by shot putter Justin Anzelark that the funding of athletes based on performances is too much pressure, is out of touch with the competitive nature of sport.
Connor said the team had not reached the two-medal target he had in mind here, but he was heartened that there was potential for at least three medals in Athens.
But this general malaise is not confined to Australia. Sydney Olympic long jump champion Heike Dreschler has criticised the German athletes for being too soft, as the team has one last shot at a gold medal in the men's javelin on the last day.
British columnist Sue Mott wrote: "No doubt now, British athletics is on the squint." After six years of lottery money being poured into the sport, the number of medals won by Britain has gone down.
But at least Australia has a victorious flag-bearer in Pittman, one who is effervescent, energetic and a delight.
Meanwhile, on the second last day of competition, Brisbane's Bronwyn Thompson finished seventh in the long jump final and the Australian men's 4 x 100 metres relay team made the semi-final but was well off the pace to qualify for the final.
Lee Troop finished 17th in the marathon and his top-20 finish and time of two hours 11 minutes 46 seconds have qualified him for the Athens Games.
And US hurdler Allen Johnson became one of the greatest of all time to win his fourth 110-metre hurdles in 13.12 seconds.

There has been a bit more discussion on the blog in regards to the 10th century abecedary inscription discovered at Tel Zeitah. See the additional posts by Jim West (here and here), while Joe Cathy responds to his detractors here. There is also a good discussion of the origin and order of the Hebrew alphabet on the Daily Hebrew blog.
As a point of clarification, the AP picture that I included on my previous blog entry on the inscription did identify P. Kyle McCarter as the individual in the photograph. The photograph was taken at a news conference at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary on Wednesday 9 November 2005.
Here is another AP photograph of the stone with Ron E. Tappy, the project director of the excavations, in the foreground. This side of the stone has a bowl-shaped hollow was carved in the side, which may suggest (according to Tappy) that the stone had been a drinking vessel for cult rituals.
BTW: The picture of the inscription by itself which is surfacing on the blogosphere is just a cropped version of the AP picture with P. Kyle McCarter in the foreground.

As the back to school frenzy begins, parents watch for school supply lists, new outfit sales, and scheduling changes. The most important back to school to-do list, however, won't be found at any store. If you have a tween daughter, here is the top five list of what you should do leading up to that first day of school:
5. Identify stress relievers. One of the best things you can do for girls this age is to arm them with ways to cope with the upsets that occur during the tween years. Ask your daughter to imagine that she is bending over to pick something up and her pants split right down the middle, eliciting laughter from the crowd around her. See if she can brainstorm five ways to make herself feel better during that moment. Really let her brainstorm, but help out if you need to – call home, tell her friends she needs their support, think of other people who have survived embarrassment, think of something she is looking forward to in the near future, say a prayer, think of funny or happy thoughts, etc. Then ask her to imagine that she is having a tough year with her group of friends, ask her to brainstorm five longer-term stress relievers – journaling, daily walks (I love ones that involve physical activity), going out for frozen yogurt with a parent, baking, sewing, etc.
Talking about stress relievers often will increase the likelihood that she will be able to summon one up in a time of need. This may seem simplistic or unnecessary at this age; but as she gets older, thinking of taking a walk before taking a drink is a major win.
4. Be aware that others are struggling. This is an age that girls are increasingly concerned with their appearance to others and their social standing. This makes them understandably, but frustratingly, self-absorbed (friends have suggested I say snotty little balls of unpleasantness, but I'll stick with self-absorbed to keep it positive!). Acknowledge that you get how important peer acceptance is, and that she might be nervous about how this year will go, but let her know that everyone is struggling with the same thing. Some kids may seem like they don't care about what other people think, or they act like the teasing that is happening doesn't bother them, but explain that regardless of how it appears – everyone has something they worry about and NO ONE likes to be made fun of. Depending on the age and personality of your tween, you may or may not still know how anything works in the world. But even if you have reached idiot-status in her world, please continue to insist that she attempt to see beyond her own inner world.
3. Do something nice. While we are attempting to shift some of her focus onto the struggle that others are going through, let's continue this by asking her to do something nice. Sometimes I have found that tweens need specific suggestions rather than just saying "do something nice." Ask her to smile at someone who she would not normally smile at, or say hello to someone other than her friends – bonus points if she says hello followed by the use of this other person's name. Ask her to be on the lookout for someone who looks like he or she needs help, if someone who is not her friend drops her papers, she could actually help her pick them up. You get the idea, think of specific and reasonable ways for her to show kindness to others, and ask her to do them.
2. Be aware of friend dynamics. Learn the ways in which groups of girls this age operate, and explain them to her. Avoiding the downside of popularity by learning that she may be used by others to create a negative clique puts her in a good position to choose her friends, and her behavior, wisely. See below for a suggestion (read: shameless plug) on the way to learn about these dynamics.
1. Listen! More specifically, listen more than you speak. Now I realize I've just listed four other items that require you to speak. You can't get through parenting a tween girls without speaking to her about important things. But make sure to find time to be quiet! Ask her what she's excited about for the upcoming school year, and maybe what she's anxious about, and then just LISTEN to the answer. Don't point out things she may have missed, or rattle off answers to her issues, or give her a bunch of "you know what you should dos." The more you demonstrate that you hear what she's saying, the easier you become to approach. In the wise words of my own daughter at age 11, "you know mom, not everything has to be a lesson." Yeah, I learned to shut my mouth once in a while.
I can't help but point out that these pearls of wisdom are just a sampling of what you will find in my book on parenting tween girls, Between Baby Dolls and Boyfriends. I spell these out in more detail, and include other information on puberty, bullying, cyberbullying, and how to create a meaningful bond with your daughter through these years and into the teens. I would love to know about your experience with your tween daughter, and what you would add to this list!

Isabeau's Journal
November, 12 2005
OK, folks-this is the general forum now for questions that don't seem to fit in any of the other threads. I'm going to sort some of the earlier posts into the appropriate forums, but it might take a while, so bear with me. I'll delete the ones that have already been reposted by their authors.
dpetrash: Imrahil dies in F.A. 34 (about 35 years from this point in the story) when Heth is a mere 57ish - or in her late 30's for us non-Dunadans. In fact, in my more mercenary moments I think: Imrahil dies in FA 34, Eowyn dies in FA 65 (ala Late Fragment) but Faramir hangs around until FA 83, and Elrohir has said he wants to stay in M.E. until Arwen dies (>FA 120). Hmmm....
Isabeau: Nice to see you're so good at math....;-)
Well, I was an engineer in my former life, which also accounts for my obsession with detail (see above) and one reason why I appreciate your stories so much. They are always chock full of details, even for your secondary characters like Felith and Mablung, that are revealing, consistent and entertaining. I discover new stuff every time I reread your work.
And I blame Una/Altariel for starting my speculation in the original comment above, with that kiss she wrote at the end of Late Fragment....

Master Fractals V3.0
Decode market structure in any degree of time
Tools are not systems. These are indicators used to help in any trading decision and improve the quality of trades. Tools help traders read market better and improve their analysis on market conditions and dynamics. These tools can be combined with your trading systems to influence judgment.
(1) Support Fractal
(2) Resistance Fractal
(3) Resistance
(4) Support
You can use any timeframe to determine fractals.
(1) Timeframe
(2) Resistance Fractal
(3) Support Fractal
(4) H1 Resistance
(5) H1 Support
Fractals indicate market swing points. These are essential in determining market patterns and understand market structure. Master Fractals identify fractal support and resistance in ANY timeframe, whether 1 minute, daily or yearly. In theory, fractal levels of bigger timeframes will serve as stronger support and resistance levels.
(1) H16 Support Fractal
(2) H1 Support Fractal
(3) H4 Support Fractal
(4) M30 Support Fractal
(5) H1 Resistance Fractal
(6) H4 Resistance Fractal
(7-8) M30 Resistance Fractal
Indicator can plot support and resistance levels in any timeframe
Stronger support and resistance lines will be thicker.
(1) Stronger Support
(2-3) Support
(4-5) Resistance
(6) Stronger Resistance
This example uses H1 & H4 Fractals
TimeFrames = 60,240
(1) H4 Support
(2) H4 Resistance
(3) H1 Support
(4) H1 Resistance
(5) Timeframe
Use higher timeframe swings as reference in drawing Fibonacci retracements
(1) H8 Swing Low
(2) H4 Swing High
(3) 50% Retracement
Use Higher Timeframe fractals as reference in drawing harmonic patterns.
(1) H8 Swing Low
(2) D1 Swing High
(3) Gartley Pattern
(1) H1 Swing Low
