With the purpose of improving the care situation of women in Europe suffering from the effects of violence encountered, NGOs from EU member states have joined in this network.
Domestic violence, sexualised violence, rape and abuse: violence against women includes many facets. Such violence can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Symptoms are complex, and often misjudged in diagnosis, so that the connection between the disorder and violence is not recognised. Experiences made by NGOs show that this is quite simply due to a lack of knowledge � all over Europe, across all professional groups, and even among the persons affected themselves.
The network's objectives are
Network members have joined with the intention to intensify cooperation between psychotraumatology, general medicine, social services, police and the advice centres specialising in gender-related violence.
The Network is closely linked to the European women's organisations combatting violence against women, and collaborates intensively with WAVE - Women Against Violence Europe.

When is Too Early to Put Up the Christmas Tree?
Almost every store you go into, even before Halloween, has been busting at its seams with Christmas decor. Are people really putting up their decorations this early in the holiday season? Is it even technically the holiday season yet? When do you think you should put up your tree and trimmings?
Sure, almost everyone loves this time of year. In general, most of us cannot wait for it to begin. It is a time of magical and beautiful sights, sounds, and smells. The world changes from the day to day humdrum to a scene of winter wonder and splendor. The smells from the kitchen, fireplace, and fresh cut tree fill the air with an aroma that ignites the excitement of Christmas. The night's sky is filled with a rainbow of colors lighting our ways through their adornment of homes and streets. Holly, tinsel, and mistletoe hang in every corner amidst a collection of nativity scenes and santas. The atmosphere of our days are transformed into a haven for decorations and merriment. But, when is the proper time to set the christmas tree to stand tall and the nut crackers to march around the house under a glow of twinkling lights?
It is not even Thanksgiving yet, is the world already making its transformation? Can our anticipation for the Christmas glory and adornments of red and green not wait until we have celebrated the first holiday of the season?
My family never brought a tree into the house until after Thanksgiving. Some years life was too busy to even bring the boxes of decorations from the garage until the middle of December. But, the more I look around I see Christmas creeping in like a predator on the hunt.
Shouldn't we wait for the month the holiday resides in before we begin its observance? That is what the tree and its ornate friends are for. The garland and wreaths are in celebration of Christmas, not its not so near arrival.
When does your family erect the tree? Do you already have the floor, walls, and even yourself covered in the glitter that inevitably will invade your home?

PORTSMOUTH — The Jabre family reports since the death of their beloved daughter, sister and mother Corie Jabre earlier this month, they have experienced an outpouring of support from the community and beyond.
Brandie Jabre, Corie's older sister, told Foster's since the weekend, an online fundraising campaign through the website GiveForward.com has ended and the family has additionally received 1,400 ounces of breast milk for Corie's newborn twins, about 3� months old.
Corie, a Portsmouth native, died in Portsmouth Regional Hospital at the age of 30 on Jan. 13 from complications due to a respiratory infection, according to her family. She was a 2000 graduate of Portsmouth High School, and while mothering a child in her school years, Brandie said her sister graduated from an alternative program. Corie's eldest sons are 16 and 10 years old and her parents are stepping in to care for them, along with the baby twins.
With difficult times ahead, concerned friends sprang into action to launch an online campaign to raise funds and last week, that call for help went viral. In less than 24 hours, they raised $10,000.
Brandie's childhood best friend, Barbara Martinez, originally from Kittery, Maine, also coordinated the donation of hundreds upon hundreds of ounces of breast milk for the babies, Liam and Brian. Both Martinez and Brandie Jabre said it was exactly what Corie would have wanted for her children.
And since last week, Brandie said three New Hampshire women have volunteered to become long-term suppliers of breast milk for the twins, a favorable option for the two youngsters so they will become used to having the same food, she explained. The volunteers will continue to send the family milk in the coming months.
"It's such a kind and selfless thing for them to do …," Brandie said. "We have people climbing out of the woodwork to help. Half of the (raised funds) have gone to funeral expenses and we're putting the rest to day care and situating the kids with everything they need."
Instead of holding a formal wake, Brandie said the family held a two-day memorial service this past Friday and Saturday in the Port City. She said some people brought photos of Corie as a young women, which made an impact on her eldest sons.
"It's still really fresh. … We're trying to find a way for things to be normal," Brandie said. "This last weekend was amazing. The turnout was unbelievable … It was lovely for her children to see."

Many sea terms are hundreds of years old, with some tracing their origin to dates well before the twelfth century, heralding a time when wind was king in the golden age of sail.While there are thousands of terms in the nautical lexicon—breathe easy, we won't delve into all of them here—it behooves the sailor and the sailor-to-be alike to acknowledge some of the seafaring origins.
We'll start with the most basic of sea terms, boat, a small vessel for travel on water, a word derived from the Middle English boot, the Old English bA, and of course the Old Norse beit. What the frosty vikings and other seafarers using this term probably didn't anticipate was that we'd be using it 800 years later in our language to mean not only the same things, but in other contexts such as "a boatful," and "in the same boat," meaning in the same situation or predicament. And despite the advances in sail handling and navigation technology, sailors remain in their boats much in the same way their viking ancestors did—frail, vulnerable, and largely in awe of the natural elements.
Bow, or the front of the boat, comes from the Old English bOg, or bough, which conjures up the time when shipwrights sized up the limbs of old-growth trees and the way they grew to fit the parts of the ship under construction. An overlap of meanings is also apparent with the second definition of reverence, or bending the head, body, and knee to larger powers in a tempest-tossed sea.
Stern, or the rear of the ship, has fourteenth-century Scandindavian origins and the Old Norse stjOrn, or a steering oar in the back of the ship that controlled steering. Then too, there is the strict, grim, and authoritative context of the word, which conjures up unhappy captains barking orders at the crew from the back of the boat—something which can still be found on the buoy racecourses of today.
Port, the place where ships are secure from storms and also the left-hand side of the boat, is a combination ofporte from twelfth-century Middle French, meaning gate or door, and the Latin porta, meaning passage. Aside from these two definitions, we would be in error to overlook another meaning of the word, that is the sweet, fortified red wine from Portugal whose seafaring power once ruled the oceans. Drunken sailors, cargo, hiding from storms, the left-hand side of the ship—um, we may not get to the bottom of this one.
On to starboard, again predating the twelfth century and its Middle English roots. A combination of steering oarand board, the ship's side, became starboard, or the right-hand side of the boat looking forward.
Aside from the parts of sailing ships that we still use in the modern-day versions of these craft, there are a number of nautically derived phrases that are still in use. Consider loose cannon. Describing people as loose cannons means they are out of control, unpredictable, and capable of doing damage to themselves and others. On sailing ships with cannons, securing these heavy guns was no small task. A loose cannon in heavy seas could be thrown around, damaging ship and crew.
If you're taking the wrong tack, you're obviously going in the wrong direction, just as ships have for centuries. But if you stay the course, you'll certainly get to your destination.
Were you ever in a space that didn't have room to swing a cat? The cat is an abbreviation for cat-o-nine-tails, or a studded whip that was used to mete out onboard punishment.
Clean bill of health also comes from days of yore when documents were issued to a ship attesting that there were no epidemics or infectious illnesses on board at its time of departure.
Down the hatch, a drinking expression, has its origins in loading cargo onto ships as you might expect. As the cargo is put into the hold, it travels down the hatch, and appears to be consumed by the ship.
Searching from stem to stern, means searching in a thorough manner throughout the entire ship. The stem is the structural member at the very front of a ship to which planks are fixed, while the stern refers to the back of the ship.
Feeling down in the doldrums has its origins from the area near the equator where light winds made for tough going for sun-baked crews looking for the relief of wind.
Feeling under the weather, or ill, refers to passengers that typically became seasick during rough weather and heavy seas. Ill passengers tended to stay below on the ship in such conditions not only to escape the inclement elements, but also to find less swaying motion below-deck. The most stable point of a vessel is its keel, and ill passengers tended to get as close to it as possible.
Round robin, or taking turns in the same order, has a much different connotation than the one associated with sporting events today. Originating in the British nautical tradition, sailors contemplating mutiny against the captain would sign their names in a circle so that the leader could not be identified. The robin part of the phrase has more mysterious origins and may have risen from the auditory orientation of seamen of the time. Accustomed to chanties and rhymes, they probably added the word to the phrase because it sounded better.
Showing your true colors, or revealing your true intentions, comes from the time when warships often carried flags from many nations on board to deceive enemy ships. The ship would fly one flag, and once the enemy was close enough, raise its true colors. Civilized warfare called for all ships to hoist their true ensigns before firing.
Square meal originated on British warships in the 1700s. Food on board was usually meager and living conditions were harsh. Breakfast and lunch typically were little more than bread and beverage, though the third meal of the day included meat, served on a square tray.
Son of a gun refers to the cramped quarters found onboard and the children that sometimes resulted. Sailors slept between the cannons because it was the only space available. Some ships carried female company on board, sometimes the sailor's wife, and sometimes prostitutes. Many children were conceived between the cannons, or guns, which was also where many children were born. Thus came into language the son of the gun.
Three sheets to the wind was originally three sheets in the wind and referred to the erratic behavior of a ship that had lost control of its sails. When the sheet, or controlling line to the sail is let go, the sail ceases to function and instead flops about. Large ships of the eighteenth century would have been a handful to regain control of once they had lost steerage, thus ships and their movements were thought of in terms many sailors would be familiar with, namely that of the stumbling drunk.

On The One And The Zero:
Secondary projects are always interesting. Normally they don't feel the necessity of living up to expectations -except for those that end up being more popular than the original artists- and can play with a wide range of possibilities. Fun, experimentation or simple curiosity can make artists compose songs in very different ways they would normally, and Scanalyzer is no exception. The band composed by Chris Randall (Sister Machine Gun) and Wade Alin (Christ Analogue) takes music to a different level for both of them. Full bodied and very melodic. That was the sound you first find in the liquid approach to drum'n'bass that Scanalyzer bring. The band uses a main theme line and presents modulations over it. Introduces breaks, cuts and stops, keeping the rhythm uniform and using only slight variations in velocity. They introduce some industrial sounds, crunching bases and dirty arrangements over cleaner and darker melodic lines. "Zwischenspiel Eine" is one of the first of four, and introduces the first distortions, composition freedom and industrial feeling to it. It hooks up directly with "Scan 7" where the long sharp notes penetrate through the highly danceable thick techno lines, while the broken beats and drums fly all around.
The main orientation of Scanalyzer's music doesn't seem to be the dance floor. The beats are fast, sometimes hectic, and grinding; but it is simply a consequence of the style they have chosen. Their compositions are far wider and aspire to much more that simple drum'n'bass / drum'n'noise dancing. Scanalyzer does not hesitate in creating a slower realm with many more possibilities, vertexes and transformations. It is also extremely interesting the way they have created the record as a whole. The order of the songs, and the introduction of the "Zwischenspiel" follows the main reason of displaying the record as a complete story-line that once you start listening to, you feel compelled to follow through intensively to its end.
"Hifishit" lowers the velocity and introduces the song into a mid-tempo full of changes, where, as a ghost a dark cinematographic melody is introduced for a moment and then torn away. Piano notes, voice samplers and background noise catch a brooding attitude for the closing of the song. Except the sound develops directly into "Monotreme" that keeps the atmospheric feeling to it, and takes it into a far more epic and grander place. The melodies that take possession of the composition, over the broken beats, various arrangements and noises are powerful and captivating, transforming the fifth cut of the record into a soundtrack of heroics and insurrection. "Zwischenspiel Zwei" is an end for the darker side of Scanalyzer and opens the door of a harsher place.
"Herstius" brings back the velocity and anger in the form of crunching beats, the spotlight on short melodic lines of bases and a remarkable amount of overlapping percussion. Followed by another "Zwischenspiel", this time its goal is to smoothly take the thicker techno synthesizer work into a lighter liquid world of "One Seventy Five". This song is very melodic, sort of naïf and, although it opens easily as an accessible composition, it soon shows its distorted side of noise and deconstruction. These two are perhaps some of the most predictable songs they offer, converting it into the one with most possibilities of belonging to the rhythmic industrial scene, and taking control of the alternative demanding dance floors.
"Screamer" introduces much more voice samplers than previous songs, defending the name it was given, and strongly underlining the broken beats that it is made with. "Additionally All That Work" has an ambitious catchy tune that is surrounded by creeks, noises, bleeps and frequencies. The song is built on repetition, growth and destruction of a very powerful nature. "Neutron Dub" is dirtier and much haughtier, with standing out beats and an actual vocal line passed through distortion. "Modsinth" keeps the speed and throws some clashes, noises and blows over uniform broken beats.
The last "Zwischenspiel Vier" is charged with samplers, but evolves into a song of its own. It seems to be in a way a bit more primitive than the preceding compositions, and appear sort of as a 'take' on a melody possibility that shuts down to give entrance to "Screenbitter", a strong, fast and danceable song that is full of energy. It is perhaps one of the most direct cuts of the record. On The One And The Zero is meant to be listened to as a whole. For sure one can find amazing individual songs, with great possibilities; but I recommend you take an hour of your quotidian life and use Scanalyzer as a soundtrack. Life will be much more savory, exciting and alert.

While I've known a father who was ungrateful for a new tie, another shaving kit or a grill accessories, a little escapism can go a long way. Here are some movie, television and book releases that will help dad kick back and relax for a change.
If the box office numbers are any indication, you'd have a hard time finding a father who doesn't enjoy the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. "Captain Marvel" (available June 11) takes audiences back to the 1990s when VHS was king, Nine Inch Nails were breaking their way into the mainstream and Nick Fury had two eyes.
Fathers with a love for gritty crime thrillers will be smitten with Nicole Kidman's performance as a damaged LAPD detective who looks to right the wrongs of a blown undercover assignment in "Destroyer."
Dwayne Johnson produced and appears in "Fighting with My Family," a surprisingly accessible comedy based on WWE wrestler Paige's life story. The film debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, which at first seemed like an odd inclusion until I saw that it was written and directed by the brilliantly funny British comedian Stephen Merchant (co-writer and co-director of the "The Office" series, but you might know him from his dramatic turn as Caliban in the X-Men film "Logan.")
Father's looking to spend some time with kids (or who are kids at heart) would appreciate "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World," the third film from the critically acclaimed animated series or "The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part," a sequel that is better than it is given credit for and was underappreciated during its theatrical run.
"The Upside" was a surprise hit earlier this year. A remake of the French film "The Intouchables," which was based on the true story of a quadriplegic man who hires an unqualified man to be his caregiver. The English language version stars Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart with Nichole Kidman in a supporting role.
"Valentine: The Dark Avenger" is a different kind of superhero film as a young waitress is offered the opportunity to play a masked vigilante in a movie. but there's nothing scripted about the fight she's about dive into. This foreign oddity has been dubbed into English and has the look and feel of a classic drive-in or basement festival favorite.
Robert Venditti ("X-O Manowar," "Green Lantern") and Kevin Maurer team for this World War II set graphic novel about the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division who accidentally parachute deeper behind enemy lines than intended during the D-Day assault. Andrea Mutti ("Batman Eternal") provides the imagery for this engrossing, obscure and true story.
For those fathers who have made the leap to 4K, the past few weeks have seen some impressive catalog titles come to the new format including Ridley Scott's excellent drama "Black Hawk Down" about a group of U.S. soldiers fighting for their lives on the streets of Somalia when their helicopter is shot down; the beloved "Forrest Gump" from director Robert Zemekis and actor Tom Hanks celebrates its 25th anniversary with a new 4K transfer; Kevin Costner's baseball fantasy "Field of Dreams" has never looked or sounded better; the classic "Backdraft" was recently given a direct-to-video sequel that's worth a look, but it pales to this fantastic new transfer that makes the well-received Blu-ray release from 2011 look incredibly bland; "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" was a gorgeous fantasy with a wicked sense of humor and the new 2160p release looks as good as anything being produced today and serves as a sad reminder that the Hellboy franchise had so much untapped potential; and a new transfer for the 1984 classic "The Karate Kid" is warmer and more detailed than I ever.
2019 marks the 80th anniversary of Batman's first appearance. To celebrate, DC Comics are releasing "Batman: Detective Comics #1000 ," a landmark release collects a variety of Batman stories that trace the origins of the character and point to a future for the world's most popular vigilante. The hardcover Deluxe Edition is scheduled for June 18, but if dad loves Batman, he'll forgive you for the late-arriving gift.
As part of the Batman celebration, Warner Bros. is releasing a 4K "30th Anniversary Edition" of Tim Burton's classic 1989 adaptation with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson and its three sequels on June 4th. A box set is scheduled for September, but some of us would be perfectly happy owning "Batman" and "Batman Returns" and forget that "Batman Forever" and "Batman & Robin" that ever existed. Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Trilogy" is also available in breathtaking 4K .
Other classic catalog titles with recent re-releases include the 4K version of Robert Redford's classic baseball film "The Natural," "Fast & Furious: 8-Movie Collection" a complete collection of the Fast & Furious films in 4K and the Criterion Collection's excellent Blu-ray release of the classic Jackie Chan films "Police Story" and "Police Story 2."
Trey Parker and Matt Stone's "South Park" sees the release of its twenty-second season this week and the equal-opportunity offenders have yet to see a topic that they couldn't turn into a spirited spectacle. This season features some scathing comedy as Cartmen and friends tackle school shootings, political correctness and social anxiety.
On the opposite side of the animated world is the complete collection of "Adventure Time," arguably the best series to ever be inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, set in a post-apocalyptic world and feature a talking dog. The many tales of a boy and his dog is the strange and wonderful mutated version of "Peabody's Improbable History" if their time travels went terribly wrong somewhere along the way. Safe for children, still entertaining for adults.
If dad is a fan of "Broadchurch," "The Killing" or dramas with a psychological twist (and punch) "Blood" is a celebrated Irish series that comes highly recommended. The plot follows a small-town doctor and his daughter who believes that the accident that killed her mother was actually a fine-tuned plan executed by her dad.
Tom Clancy's popular character Jack Ryan gets revamped for this self-titled television series with John Krasinski taking over the title role. Initially Krasinski seemed like an odd choice, but time has proven that the actor is far more talented than his work on "The Office" suggested. Heading into its second season, the show is still finding its legs, but the potential is there.
"London Kills" is a British mystery drama from Paul Marquess ("Suspects," " Hollyoaks") featuring a skilled detective who can solve any case except for the disappearance of his wife.
"The Toys that Made Us" is a fantastic documentary series that looks at the stories behind the creation of famous toy properties like Barbie, Star Wars, LEGO, Transformers, He-Man and Hello Kitty.
Based on the Dr. Tony Hill character from Scottish writer Val McDermid, "Wire in the Blood" offered a journey into the dark side of a clinical psychologist who uses his expertise to help detectives track and catch serial killers. This collection contains all 24 episodes from the six seasons.
For dad's with a taste for documentaries, art house films and cinema classics I'd recommend the excellent documentary "Apollo 11," a look at mankind's leap to the moon using archival footage and audio transmissions from ground control; the 1971 adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel "The Andromeda Strain," a sci-fi drama that sees all the inhabitants of a New Mexico town die after a government satellite crashes near by; a Buster Keaton double-feature from the Cohen Film Collection featuring the classic silent films "The General" and "Steamboat Bill, Jr.;" the improbable "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote," a film from visionary director Terry Gilliam that took 17 years to make (his failed attempt to make the film with Johnny Depp in 1998 is captured in the great documentary"Lost in La Mancha") that sees Gilliam returning to form with a strange and wonderful tale that feels like a thematic extension of his 1988 film "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen;" "Swing Time," a classic Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musical comedy from 1936 featuring some of the duo's best dance routines; and "Tickled," a strange documentary that looks at the strange world of "competitive endurance tickling" that quickly turns into a truly bizarre mystery with more twists than a Hitchcock feature.
For dads who still love to slip away into a good book, my favorite book publisher The Folio Society has released a new batch of illustrated hardcover editions this spring that include the fantasy novel "Anansi Boys" from Neil Gaiman ("American Gods") where a unexceptional Londoner sees his life turned upside down when he discovers that his recently deceased father may have been an incarnation of the West African spider god, Anansi. This special edition includes illustrations by award-winning artist Francis Vallejo.
Sticking with the genre theme we also have Ray Bradbury's classic 1962 novel "Something Wicked This Way Comes." The narrative follows two 13-year-old friends who are enchanted by a traveling carnival and its charismatic leader known as "Mr. Dark." Bradbury mixes horror tropes with a touch of fantasy that is as bewitching and as terrifying as the journey our two protagonists find themselves on. The film adaptation was particularly chilling when I was young, but it pales to the intensity of its source material. This edition features art from Tim McDonagh, a British artist who's credits include Lucasfillm and Nike.
To say that Philip K. Dick has written some of the most influential novels and short stories in the science fiction genre would be something of an understatement. "Ubik" is one of the author's more celebrated works, but seemingly also one of his lesser known as it has yet to be adapted into a film (not for a lack of trying). The story is set in 1992, a not-so-near future when the book was published in 1969. Mankind has evolved and psychic abilities creating an industry of anti-psychics who help to safeguard the secrets of corporate entities. "Ubik" is psychedelic sci-fi, a gateway hallucinatory world where reality is slipping away. I'm particularly fond of the design of this release, the die-cut slipcase being a visual cue as to the experience that exists beneath the cover.
As someone who has a deep interest in history, particularly World War II, I was thrilled to see Cornelius Ryan's "The Longest Day" join The Folio Society's collection. Not because I had read it, but because I had seen the film and fully intended on diving into the book. Ryan interviewed hundreds of soldiers and citizens who were on both sides of the gunfire as as D-Day unfolded.
"Catch 22," Joseph Heller's novel makes for an odd bedfellow with "The Longest Day," but the anti-war satire is intelligently presented as Captain Yossarian, a US Air Force bombardier, looks to reason his way out of the insanity of war, but is constantly thwarted by a contradictory system that suggest the only way to escape the reach of death is to die. Heller's ability to build the madness of war brick by brick is truly amazing. Hulu released a six-part adaptation of the novel in early May featuring George Clooney as both an actor, producer and director.
Italo Calvino's "Italian Folktales" caught my eye because it includes a preface by film director Guillermo del Toro and the description references the work of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen. Del Toro is as well read, particularly when it comes to eclectic tales imbued with a sense of wonder and otherness. Folktales have a magic of their own, a mythology that evolves with the culture that surrounds it. For all their uniqueness, these stories eventually remind that at our core, despite where we are born, we're all essentially the same. I find that reassuring.
And here, at the end, we find ourselves looking at Game of Thrones. I realize that for some the magic has passed, but for those still deeply invested, The Folio Society is set to release the first volume of George R. R. Martin's"A Song of Ice and Fire" series in July with artwork by Jonathan Burton who also worked on The Folio Society's edition of George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four." You can pre-order a copy of the first printing, which is likely to come and go as quickly as they can pull copies from the presses.
There's also a nice selection of collectibles ranging from Funko figures, enamel pins, framed art, screen-worthy crowns and jewelry. Take a stroll through the HBO shop and you'll find that the gifting options are almost limitless.
Regardless of what you give or are given, I hope there's time this month to love and celebrate those fathers (related or otherwise) who are closest to us.

We are approaching the horizon of a national crisis that is being ignored, blanketed in dissolution of hopes that it will be one of those "work itself out" issues like we hoped with the 2000's financial meltdown. Our feelings about this crisis are the same as they were in that crisis because the same lack of competence that led up to those events is the same lack of the competence responsible for this disaster. We approaching the horizon of these events of catastrophic failure due in part to the systemic disenabling of regulations, protections, policies, and procedures that have kept incompetence abyss in a system that thrived on a steady supply of competent adults and equally competent children.
We have in the absence of competence and assiduousness only now began to realize that we have created a national crisis that never before existed and in the process of creating such crisis failed to draft any emergent response or prepare for any repercussions that may follow. However, the issue is that we have waited far too long to even think about preparing such plan for drafting because we are already feeling the effects of the disaster we have created. We stood by idly for too long in favor of allocating thousands of millions of dollars at a problem and then pushing it on the bottom of our agendas in the reckless and erroneous hope that this problem was like all the other problems before them that were caused in part by deregulation and incompetence and that since they were similar in nature they would play out accordingly.
However, with alarms bells sounded and broken, first responders placed in intentionally disorganized matters, and resources being directed to redirection in favor political and monetary favors we have chosen to ignore the issues that lay ahead for tomorrow and the days that will proceed. We have chosen to remain silent to the call for action and in turn blame everyone but those truly responsible because it goes against political self interests and misplaced loyalties. It seems that we have become so dishearteningly cold to the mission, to the goal, to the pursuit, to the hope of educating that we have opted to become disloyal to those who have always been loyal to the premise of a promised equitable and equal education. It seems that in our pursuit for erroneous personal opulence, in our pursuit of de-gratifying self gratification, and in our pursuit to further our displaced ideologies that we, as a nation, as a people in whole, failed to ask the questions that mattered. It seems that in our misplaced pursuit we have failed to ask the question that if we don't educate those who aspire and inspire and who dream today, tomorrow, or in the days that will follow who will educate those who will aspire and who dream tomorrow, the day after, and the day after.

Latest PhD Thesis Title and Abstract. One of my colleagues Ben Buchanan subsequently contacted me via Twitter and we exchanged a few messages. He prompted me to think about the title.
Later I ruminated on the title of a recent book by my advisor, Dr. Thomas Rid. He wrote Cyber War Will Not Take Place. One of the best parts of the book is the title. In six words you get his argument as succinctly as possible. (It could be five words if you pushed "cyber" and "war" together, but the thought alone makes me cringe, in the age of cyber-everything.)
I wondered if I could transform my latest attempt at a thesis title into something that captured my argument in a succinct form.
I thought about the obsession of the majority of the information security community on the tool and tactics level of war. Too many technicians think about security as a single-exchange contest between an attacker and a defender, like a duel.
That reminded me of a problem I have with Carl von Clausewitz's definition of war.
We shall not enter into any of the abstruse definitions of war used by publicists. We shall keep to the element of the thing itself, to a duel. War is nothing but a duel on an extensive scale.
- On War, Chapter 1
Clausewitz continues by mentioning "the countless number of duels which make up a war," and then makes his famous statement that "War therefore is an act of violence to compel our opponent to fulfill our will." However, I've never liked the tactically-minded idea that war is a "duel."
This concept, plus the goal to deliver a compact argument, inspired me to revise my thesis title and subtitle to the following:
Campaigns, Not Duels: The Operational Art of Cyber Intrusions
In the first three words I deliver my argument, and in the subtitle I provide context by including my key perspective ("operational art"), environment ("cyber," yes, a little part of me is dying, but it's a keyword), and "intrusions."
When I publish the thesis as a book in 2018, I hope to use the same words in the book title.

Latest PhD Thesis Title and Abstract
Why a War Studies PhD? I recently decided to revise my title and abstract to include attention to both offensive and defensive aspects of intrusion campaigns.
I thought some readers might be interested in reading about my current plans for the thesis, which I plan to finish and defend in early 2018.
The following offers the title and abstract for the thesis.
Network Intrusion Campaigns: Operational Art in Cyberspace
Campaigns, Not Duels: The Operational Art of Cyber Intrusions*
I thought some readers might be interested in reading about my current plans for the thesis, which I plan to finish and defend in early 2018.
The following offers the title and abstract for the thesis.
Intruders appear to have the upper hand in cyberspace, eroding users' trust in networked organizations and the data that is their lifeblood. Three assumptions prevail in the literature and mainstream discussion of digital intrusions. Distilled, these assumptions are that attacks occur at blinding speed with immediate consequences, that victims are essentially negligent, and that offensive initiative dominates defensive reaction.
This thesis examines these assumptions through two research questions. First, what characterizes network intrusions at different levels of war? Second, what role does operational art play in network intrusion campaigns?
By analyzing incident reports and public cases, the thesis refutes the assumptions and leverages the results to improve strategy.
The thesis reveals that strategically significant attacks are generally not "speed-of-light" events, offering little chance for recovery. Digital defenders are hampered by a range of constraints that reduce their effectiveness while simultaneously confronting intruders who lack such restrictions. Offense does not necessarily overpower defense, constraints notwithstanding, so long as the defenders conduct proper counter-intrusion campaigns.
The thesis structure offers an introduction to the subject, and an understanding of cybersecurity challenges and trade-offs. It reviews the nature of digital intrusions and the levels of war, analyzing the interactions at the levels of tools/tactics/technical details, operations and campaigns, and strategy and policy. The thesis continues by introducing historical operational art, applying lessons from operational art to network intrusions, and applying lessons from network intrusions to operational art. The thesis concludes by analyzing the limitations of operational art in evolving digital environments.

Reggie Keely: A Model Of Consistency< < Back to
This season has had its fair share of ups and downs for the Ohio Bobcats (15-5, 6-0 MAC). Despite some rocky play at times throughout the year and a difficult month of December, one thing has remained tired and true for the 'Cats all season—Reggie Keely.
"Without question he's been in a good rhythm," Ohio head coach Jim Christian said when asked about Keely's effect on the team's recent success "He's playing really, really well… I'm not surprised by any of it."
During a rough stretch of games for Ohio in a month that saw the team go 2-5, Keely made his first start of the season against Maryland-Eastern Shore on Dec. 22. Since then the big man has helped right the Bobcats' course by putting up impressive numbers night in and night out. Ohio is 8-1 during the nine games Keely has started and is in a neck-and-neck race with Akron (16-4, 7-0 MAC) for first place in the MAC standings.
A big reason for the team's success in that span has been Keely's offensive improvement this season.
Often overlooked as an offensive threat, Keely currently is second on the team in scoring, averaging 11.5 points per game. A career 49 percent shooter from the field heading into the season, the senior has hit an eye-popping 71 percent from the field since cracking the starting lineup. Keely is currently hitting 68.9 percent of his shots from the field; good enough to put him in a tie with Stephen F. Austin senior forward Taylor Smith for third overall in NCAA scoring efficiency.
Keely will tell you a lot of his success comes down to consistently being in the right place when fellow Bobcat D.J. Cooper is looking for someone to dish the ball to. Cooper is having a phenomenal season in his own right as he ascends the NCAA leaderboards in a plethora of categories, but there's no denying how valuable Keely's ability to consistently find an open spot down low and make what he calls "easy buckets" has been to Cooper and Ohio's recent success.
"They're both what the other guy needs to be able to be successful. They mean everything (to one another); they work well together," assistant coach Aaron Fuss said of Keely and Cooper's chemistry. "He's been doing a really good job of being physical at the basket. I know that sounds really simple but when you've got a guy like D.J. Cooper who is such a great passer then sometimes it's in your best interest to just be down there and be available … I think Reggie's done a great job of buying in, watching film and understanding where those windows are to become a better player,"
"I'm just trying to get (layups) as much as I can, every opportunity that I can and find the easy shot," Keely said on his consistency in the paint. He said finding easy opportunities has a lot to do with his high field goal percentage.
Keely, a member of the same 2009 class that included Cooper and fellow forward Ivo Baltic, has always been a consistent contributor. Since his freshman season Keely has averaged no less than 16 minutes and 5 points per game. Coaches know what they're going to get from him when he steps on the court; he rarely has a bad night.
Now, though, Keely's average nights are better than ever before. His increased offensive production has boiled down to a lot of hard work over the years, according to Fuss, the only member of the Ohio coaching staff that was with the team in 2009 when Keely came in a wide-eyed freshman.
"I think he still had a lot of the same skill sets that he has now but you know it's just when you come in as a freshman everything is new," Fuss said. "You know his muscle mass; it's different now than it was as a freshman. When you take those skills that you already have and then, to be a really good post player a lot of it is how your body develops. You're down there, you're banging. You've got to play physical."
Keely has been grinding every day since he first stepped on campus. When Ohio takes on Akron Saturday afternoon it will mark the 130th consecutive game the big fella has played in since the very first game of his freshman season. It's that work ethic combined with his toughness that have allowed him to be so successful in the post this season.
"He's a very tough player for sure. He seeks contact," Fuss said. "I've always used the term you're either a 'seeker' or you're a 'finder'. Sometimes it's going to find you. Sometimes you're going to seek it. In terms of contact, he's one of those guys that's a seeker for us, and that's big."
Keely has been crucial to an Ohio team that lacks a significant post presence. The team ranks 311th in the nation in rebounding, but with Keely stepping up and finding open looks in the paint, the 'Cats are able to succeed despite some subpar team performances on the glass.
Making smart decisions on the court, getting open and "just running as hard as I can and trying to outwork guys down the floor" are the things Keely credits for his improvements this season. While he's not likely to put up 30 points in a game, he isn't likely to go 0-for from the field either.
It's Keely's consistent, steady performance that has allowed him to be so successful this season.
Considering his track record, don't expect that to change anytime soon.

Chris Brown Mans Up On BET: I Apologize For My 'GMA' Outburst — Video
Good for you, Chris — taking responsibility for losing your temper because you felt blindsided by questions about your assault on Rihanna. But ABC News says you should have known what was coming.
Chris Brown is disappointed in himself for going on a rampage after his Good Morning America interview with Robin Roberts. But he stills says the incident that ended with a cooler smashing a window at GMA's Times Square building was not all his fault.
"I want to apologize to anybody who was startled in the office, or anybody who was offended or really looked, and [was] disappointed at my actions," Chris said in a rambling commentary as a music track played behind him on BET's 106 & Park on March 23. "Because I'm disappointed in the way I acted." Chris reminded his fans that no one was hurt in his rampage, which included him storming in the street after ripping off his shirt. "Yes, I got very emotional," he said. "And I apologize for acting like that."
He said he had to"release the anger I had inside of me" after Robin asked him about the 2009 attack on Rihanna and not only about his new album, F.A.M.E. ABC News says there were no pre-conditions for the March 22 interview. And Robin said he knew that Rihanna would be part of their chat. "Any time we have a guest here on the program, we let them know ahead of time the subject matter, the topics that we're going to discuss and we, even right before the interview, I said that to Chris and I was shocked like everybody else was," she told her GMA audience, adding that the show would gladly welcome him back.
"We appreciate that he apologized to our staff, because they were shaken," Robin said on the air after viewing his BET apology. "It's time to move on and we wish him the absolutely best…This, too, shall pass."
But Chris said on BET he had a bit of a different take on the whole mess: "I felt like, 'OK, they told us this just so they can get us on the show so they can exploit me.' You know, that's what I thought. I kind of took it very, very hard. And I kept my composure throughout the interview, although you could see me upset, you know. I kept my composure and did my performances, and when I got back, I just let off, like, steam in the back."
Chris says he went on GMA to promote the release of F.A.M.E. His outburst hasn't hurt sales, with as many as 300,000 copies expected to be sold this week.

HEAD south from Little Rock, Arkansas, along the Dr Martin Luther King Jr Drive. Take the I-530 S, then Highway-65 South, past the small town of Grady and in 90 minutes you are in the middle of nowhere. Almost.
The flat, grassy plains are empty save for a cluster of buildings encircled by barbed wire. Among them is the Varner Unit: the Arkansas death-row supermax.
It is a route few take by choice. But this was the path a young Sydney man, Marty Bernhaut, took when he interned last year with the Arkansas Public Defender's office.
The destination's red brick walls house about 40 male prisoners dealt the death penalty for crimes committed, often decades ago.
The inmates are but a portion of the 3000 or so on death row across the United States – 98 per cent of whom are male.
The US's network of jails houses the world's highest number of prisoners and the building represents one of the many outposts of a judicial system that relies on the customary brutality of execution.
Across death row, about 41 per cent are African Americans, a vastly disproportionate representation compared to their 13.6 per cent representation in the general population.
Bernhaut, a 26-year-old Sydneysider, had just finished a two-year stint working for a Supreme Court judge. With a few months up his sleeve, he sent out messages to legal organisations across the US seeking experience in states that still held on to the death penalty. And Arkansas was keen.
"The organisation [I worked for] represents a number of inmates on death row who are putting forward habeas corpus petitions – an appeal of sorts which contests the legitimacy of a conviction or term of custody," he said, now back in Australia.
"These people aren't just people who are awaiting execution. They've been convicted, but don't believe they did it, or don't believe they deserve to die for what they did."
Bernhaut describes conditions on death row: 24 hours a day alone in a cell with no access to an exercise yard or even communal eating. They have limited opportunities for contact and are allowed some access to films, television, delayed sport and books. Political news manages to seep in from the outside by word of mouth.
But, apart from limited meetings with lawyers and family – often in partitioned rooms where contact is not allowed – there is little opportunity for social chitchat.
"The only way they can talk [to each other] is by shouting or screaming along the corridors because there is no clear space between the cells. They can't see each other. All they can do is shout down the hall and see who responds," Bernhaut said.
"There's not a lot of opportunity for meaningful, sustained interaction."
When he left the Arkansas Public Defender's office, he agreed to keep in contact with a few of the death-row clients from the Arkansas death-row supermax.
"To have someone they were able to speak easily to and were interested in [is] really helpful," he said. "It facilitated a really open dialogue, which doesn't always come with the clients who are often distrustful of people in authority and lawyers, given their past experiences."
The experience got him to thinking if his correspondence could have a positive effect on the prisoners and their cases, could it not be true if other Australians might be willing to get in contact with them?
And so began a small, burgeoning pen-pal project between some of the public defenders' clients and Bernhaut's friends and acquaintances.
It is early stages but he has hopes that the exchange can be beneficial on both sides of the Pacific.
"There's a range of things they tend to talk about. They are human and they are interested in what goes on the world. But because they have such a confined existence, they have a limited amount of stuff they can talk about," Bernhaut said.
"I think they just want to chat about stuff that doesn't involve their case and the conditions of their confinement, because these are the things they have to grapple with 24 hours a day. I imagine it would be pleasant for them to try and get as far away from that experience as possible."
John Boyagi, a taxation lawyer at the Sydney offices of a large Australian law firm, is one who put his hand up for the project.
While he found it difficult to find common ground to talk about, he has so far found it rewarding. "It's sort of rehumanising them, giving them that assistance. I can't imagine what it would be like sitting in a cell waiting for imminent death," he said.
The appeals process can last decades. One client had been on death row since he was 19, and is now close to 40. The last person to be executed in Arkansas by the state's lethal injection law was Eric Nance in 2005, convicted of murder and attempted rape 12 years earlier.
In June last year, the Arkansas Public Defender made ground against the state's execution policy. Representing a group of death-row prisoners, they argued the death penalty was unconstitutional. The supreme court ruled in their favour, and executions have been on hiatus until the law is abolished altogether or new legislation is introduced to override the ruling.

L'Heure Bleue
A perfume suspended in time
Bottle 30 ML
Indisponible - CA$ 380.00
L'Heure Bleue diffuses its atmosphere at the very moment when the sun disappears beneath the horizon and the sky is painted with night's velvet.
Jacques Guerlain celebrates this fleeting moment with an armful of suave and delicate flowers enveloped in a breath of powder taking wing toward oriental notes. His fragrance, L'Heure Bleue, is an exquisite ode to the enjoyment of life and romanticism. It superbly expresses the moment when "the night has not yet found its star".
Designed by Georges Chevalier, its bottle is underscored with graceful scrolls typical of Art Nouveau. Its avant-garde stopper, in the form of a hollowed heart, evokes the delicate romanticism of this perfumery masterpiece and represented a real technical feat at the time.
Floral Oriental.
Endearing, unsettling, captivating.
The top notes of the fragrance intoxicate you with the audacity of an aniseed note and the freshness of bergamot. The heart's carnation and neroli accord express delicate sensuality. The powdery, oriental dry-down troubles us with its powdery notes of iris and violet and its gourmand notes of vanilla, benzoin and tonka bean.
Terribly Parisian, L'Heure Bleue is both delicate and sensual. Worn by famous artists, era after era, its trail is absolutely unforgettable.

Wine snobs, like myself, have long contended that the only wine made in the USA worth drinking must come from California, Oregon or Washington state. I can not tell you I have sampled lots of NJ wines. I simply don't give them a chance because, the few I have had, have been undrinkable, and I, like many others, live by the creed that "life is too short to drink bad wine."
So, when someone sent me a Craig LaBan (food critic of the Philadelphia Inquirer) article from the newspaper titled "Wines of NJ Draw Fans", I read it with a large degree of skepticism. The piece featured the Sharrott Winery in Winslow Township, just a few miles from my home. In all honesty, I have never been there and prior to the article, never even knew it existed. It seems that among the wines they produce is a Cabernet Franc that was just awarded a Gold Medal at the recent San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. I also learned that it is available at one of my favorite wine stores, Hops n Grapes in Glassboro. I was impressed enough by what I read that I am planning to purchase the Sharrott Cab Franc as soon as this damn snow stops long enough to enable me to visit Hops n Grapes. I will make certain that in the next few days I provide a report on my impressions of what I have for many years felt was an impossibility, a good wine, lovingly nursed to the bottle from the vine, here in the Garden State. Stay Tuned!

Books become very enjoyable when there are lots of points of contact–places we've been to, experiences we've had, or activities we are familiar with. The Gown is historical fiction about the women who embroidered Queen Elizabeth's wedding gown. It brilliantly highlights the postwar era in which the wedding took place and points out how in many ways excitement around the wedding was meant to lift the mood of a war weary country. The novel captures that spirit of hope.
For me it was a treat to read because it was about sewing, embroidery, the city of London, the royal family, and immigration to Canada–all points of contact and interest for me. Three women narrate the story that is woven together so well–a seamstress from France, an embroiderer from England, and a granddaughter in Canada blend their voices to move the story forward. This highly readable novel isn't only about sewing. It's also about the value of friendship, the intrigue of legacy, and the revelation of family secrets.
This Canadian author also published an article in Time magazine with interesting background information about the real event as well as Norman Hartnell's Fashion House commissioned to make the gown. Click here.

I wonder how much an expendable army will set you back these days.
Here's Part 14 of my playthrough of "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End."
Three years after the events of "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception," Nathan Drake, now retired as a fortune hunter, has settled into a normal life with his wife Elena Fisher. His world is then turned upside down when his older brother Sam, long believed to be dead, suddenly reappears seeking Drake's help. Along with Victor "Sully" Sullivan, they embark on a race against time, across the globe, from the snow-capped peaks of Scotland to the island nation of Madagascar, in pursuit of a conspiracy behind Libertalia, a long lost pirate colony, and its fabled pooled pirate treasure. Nate must also contend with rival treasure hunter Rafe Adler, who has partnered with mercenary Nadine Ross and her PMC, Shoreline, to help him locate Libertalia.
"Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" is an action-adventure third-person shooter platform video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 video game console. It is the sequel to "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception," and is the fourth and final installment in the "Uncharted" series starring Nathan Drake, as well as the last in the series to be developed by Naughty Dog.

Morning Five: 05.13.14 EditionPosted by nvr1983 on May 13th, 2014
- It turns out that Ben Howland will not be taking the Oregon State job. Instead, the vacancy remains in Corvallis and according to reports Damon Stoudamire might be the favorite for the job. Howland reportedly told the Oregon State administration that he was no longer interested in the job. While Howland is obviously a bigger name and one with a much better track record as a coach than Stoudamire it is worth noting that he would command a much higher salary than Stoudamire since Howland was making $3.5 million a year when he left UCLA while Stoudamire would reportedly settle for less than $800,000. Regardless of that we don't think this would be the right job for Howland since he will face an uphill battle creating a winner in Corvallis. We are a little more uncertain with Stoudamire since it would be his first job, but we would think that he is a big enough name that he would want to wait for a better option.
- A little over two years after a brawl that threatened the rivalry and catapulted Fake Gimel to national fame, the Cincinnati–Xavier rivalry is heading back on campus. Yesterday, the schools after a two-year trial run having games at a neutral site the games will be coming back on-campus. As we have said in this space many times it made no sense to blame the ridiculous behavior of the two teams that day just on the fact that they were motivated by the fans on-campus. While fan behavior might contribute to on-court aggression it would be an issue at any venue with many fans (the neutral site wasn't far away from either campus) and to play it front of an empty arena would defeat the entire purpose of the rivalry.
There was quite a bit of significant transfer news over the past few days. The three biggest moves in terms of arrivals were Ryan Anderson, who announced he would be transferring from Boston College to to Arizona, Kareem Canty, who committed to South Florida from Marshall after previous reports indicated that he had committed to Auburn and supposedly was going to visit USF just to see another school, and Seth Allen, who transferred from Maryland to Virginia Tech. Anderson, who has one more year of eligibility left averaged 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game last season and will sit out this season, opted to head to Arizona over Iowa State and Indiana although he did not visit the latter. Canty, who has three more years of eligibility left averaged 16.3 points and 5.5 assists per game last season and will sit out this season, had also been considering Auburn and Penn State. Allen, who has two more years of eligibility remaining averaged 13.4 points per game will also sit out this season, picked Virginia Tech over Virginia and North Carolina State.
There was also another notable departure as well as Terry Henderson joined Eron Harris in transferring from West Virginia. Henderson averaged 11.7 points and 2.9 rebounds per game while starting 17 games for the Mountaineers last season. Henderson has not indicated where he is planning on visiting, but this is yet another early departure for a Huggins' signee as he is the 12th of the past 16 Huggins recruits to either transfer or never play a game for Huggins. Huggins' recent run at West Virginia since his Final Four appearance in 2010 doesn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence so we wouldn't be surprised to see him on the proverbial hot seat before too long.
- We cannot stress it enough to recruits: do not sign a letter of intent. One prime example of doing it the right way is former Tulsa recruit Mitchell Wilbekin, who committed to play for Danny Manning at Tulsa. When Manning ran off to greener pastures at Wake Forest, Wilbekin backed out of his initial commitment. After looking around a bit (and having another Wake commit–Shelton Mitchell–back out of his commitment), Wilbekin decided to reunite with Manning. While this only serves to underscore the importance a coach has in shaping a recruit's decision we have to wonder about Wake, which is signing a two-star point guard.

Co-founder & Director of Artist Relations @ Electric Objects.
Formerly @ Rhizome and Eyebeam Art + Technology Center.
On April 20, 2013, a nice spring Saturday, some brilliant minds from art and technology met to share the ideas and projects that emerged from a one-day interdisciplinary collaboration. For those of you who were unable to join us for Seven on Seven this year, below are videos from each presentation so you can see their presentations for yourself.
Rhizome is pleased to present The Download's first free and open project, featuring Deanna Havas. Havas offers a solution to earn back your membership donation once required to access The Download. By participating in the Affiliate Program (2013) a user can set up their own affiliate website to generate traffic to its host site, deannahavas.com. As an affiliate publisher, you will be reimbursed relative to how much traffic you drive to the site, which is calculated via metrics like pay per click and cost per impression. The package includes a small website, banner ads, and media ready to use for your microsite as well as step by step instructions to create your website. Affiliate Program creates an alternative economy that enables a Rhizome member to reap rewards by participating in the program.
The Download is Rhizome's digital art collecting program which features one work per month for free download.
Album cover for ECCOS
This month, The Download premieres Andrew Norman Wilson's first experimental album, ECCOS (2012), a modified soudtrack from an Ecco the Dolphin gameplay video. Wilson contextualizes ECCOS as furniture music: not a centerpiece, but a backdrop for thought and other activities. The project utilizes an input output system, in which he employs the simple "change speed" and "echo" effects in Final Cut Pro and pushes them to their maximum values. Wilson has diagrammed the process (included in The Download), relating it to kindred experiments like Brian Eno's Discreet Music. In that spirit, ECCOS seeks –and finds– a limit within the music itself.
Learn more about Wilson's diverse practice in his interview with former Rhizome Editorial Fellow, Louis Doulas.

This informational video from 2001, recently unearthed in the archives, is a nostalgic reminder of Rhizome's roots. Though the VHS format is near obsolete, our history will never be, and we maintain the same international and community-driven spirit today as seen in this video.
Since 1996, Rhizome has evolved and refreshed many times over. From email list-serv to thriving non-profit, the organization always strives to bring together an international and diverse community. We hope to reinvigorate and re-engage the international community featured on our website by bringing our programs and events abroad. By hosting programs in other cities, Rhizome can promote artists and communities beyond New York City in more meaningful ways.
However, we must raise the necessary funds in order to realize our goals in 2013 and beyond. Every year we rely on our community to contribute to our operational budget in ways that grants and sponsorships cannot. Please consider contributing to the Community Fundraiser today. Your donation is a vote of confidence as we grow our programs in the next year.
Screen shot of >get >put – an exhibition download (2012)
This month, The Download presents >get >put – an exhibition download (2012) an installation of digital compositions produced by Alexandra Gorczynski, A. Bill Miller, Benjamin Farahmand, Giselle Zatonyl, Derek Frech, and Travess Smalley in tandem with their physical pieces for the exhibition >get >put at little berlin in Philadelphia, PA
>get >put is an exploration of the interplay between the physical, social and digital spaces of networked culture. Installed as a series of digital compositions anchored in spatiotemporal objects, the work focuses around the fundamental shared behaviors of 'downloading' and 'uploading' that support our networked world. The exhibition exists in two parts – as digital compositions installed in HTML for this download, and as physical pieces produced for the exhibition's installation.

A DIN Connector is an electrical connector that is identified by its DIN standard. DIN was created by the German national standards organisation and stands for Deutsches Institut fur Normung.
DIN Connectors are round with pins arranged in a circular pattern within the connector. It is widely used for PC keyboards, MIDI instruments and other specialised equipment. Another type is a mini-DIN connector which is smaller in size except the pins are arranged horizontally. These are used for S-video connections, PS2 mouse and keyboards.
Types of DIN Connectors
5-pin DIN Connectors have 5 pins that are arranged in a circular pattern and are commonly used for older computer keyboards.
S-Video connectors have 4 pins arranged in 2 rows and a keying block so that it cannot be inserted incorrectly.
PS/2 connectors have 6 pins and a keying block. This connector has become an industry standard for connecting mice and keyboards although was first used on PS2 consoles.
8-pin mini DIN Connectors have 3 pins at the top and bottom and 2 in the middle. They are commonly used on portable video devices and projectors.
Environmentally sealed connectors have been designed for cable to cable, cable to board and cable to device applications. They are primarily used in harsh environments.
