Wow! Microsoft Builds A Functioning 'Holodesk'
It's a start but – wow – that's amazing and something the world has been waiting for since 1987. It's not quite a Holodeck, but it's tantalizingly close.
The reasearch arm of Microsoft, unlike the rest of the company, spends its days spinning crazed dreams into hacked reality.
Today Microsoft Research released a rather fascinating demonstration of one of its projects, what it calls a 'holodesk,' which has the potential to change the way we physically interact with digital items. Sounds trippy? That's because it is. The user, looking down on a pane of glass, sees items (balls, blocks, whatever) on that screen. With their hands underneath the glass, they can move their appendages and digits and prod those images as if they were directly touching them.
It's a bridge, essentially, between the physical and the digital. Microsoft dubs the idea at the "research project" stage only, so don't get your hopes up about getting one for yourself. And of course, it uses a Kinect.
Now, if this is only a research project, why does it matter? Microsoft, as a company, is working on all fronts to build on what it calls 'natural user interfac[ing]." What this means is that the firm is looking past the keyboard and mouse (blasphemy) and is instead working with touch, voice, and so forth. This is especially important in the tablet world that the company is so desperately behind in.
it's hard not to wish that more of what Microsoft Research was market-ready. (via thenextweb)

Plugable Technologies was founded in 2009 with the goal of "building a better device company." They saw the opportunity to evolve the peripheral experience with a focus on better products, better information and better support.
Below is our recent interview with Bernie Thompson, the owner of Pugable:
Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to Plugable?
A: From the launch of our first USB 2.0 thin client to today's broad product line of high performance docking stations, hubs and more, Plugable has launched over 100 products and sold millions of units around the globe. Plugable Technologies is a Seattle-area small tech company success story as it has become one of the world's best-known brands for USB, Bluetooth, and power-related devices.

Q: You've recently introduced USB-C Mini Docking Station with 85W power delivery/charging; could you tell us something more?
A: Plugable's USB-C Mini Docking Station with Power Delivery enables more things to be done over single cable than was ever possible before. This dock is one of the most compact and powerful docks on the market today. You can get things larger docks offer in a smaller package with fewer chips required. It is so small it can mount on the back of your monitor with a vesa mount or sit on your desk while barley taking up any desk space, but with that it provides the ability to add an external HDMI display while simultaneously providing up to 85W of power to charge your system and expanding your connectivity with Ethernet, audio input/output, and four USB ports to connect your peripherals – all through a single USB-C cable!
Q: What is unique about Plugable and how does it stand out from competition?
A: We built the company focusing on better products, better information, and better support. We achieve better products by focusing on the feedback customers give from our online sales. From this feedback, we are always improving each and every one of our products. For providing better information, we leverage our online presence on our website and Amazon. It is hard to know which products are good or bad or sometimes what it does. We put an enormous amount of information online. We receive Amazon reviews which helps us get the inside scoop on people's real experiences. On the support side of our business, we do not have a call center or any overseas employees. All of our support is done right out of our Redmond, WA headquarters with the engineers who help design and build our products. We can do this because all of our support is done online through email. We are then rewarded through great experiences and great reviews.
Q: What is your best selling product?
A: Our best selling product is our USB 3.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station or UD-3900. It has been the #1 docking station on Amazon for over two years. This docking station gives you the ability to connect up to two additional monitors and nine accessories – all through a single USB cable.
Recommended: Sellr Delivers Solution For Retailers To Easily List And Promote Hundreds Of Products In An Easy And Automated Way
Q: What are your plans for 2018?
A: USB is evolving fast right now. There is a bunch of exciting new technology coming out. Thunderbolt 3 is going to be integrated into new computers. USB charging is going to expand into new areas such as phones. Today we carry a laptop and connect to a dock, tomorrow we could be carrying our phone in our pocket and connecting it to a dock.

The Boston Medical Library is pleased to present
THE 10th J. WORTH ESTES, MD HISTORY OF MEDICINE LECTURE
"Broken Hearts: The Tangled History of Cardiac Care," given by David S. Jones, MD, PhD
David S. Jones, MD, PhD
A. Bernard Ackerman Professor of the Culture of Medicine
Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine, Harvard University
Every day, all over America, people visit their doctors with chest pain and other symptoms of coronary artery disease. Each year over a million of them choose to undergo bypass surgery or angioplasty. Are these decisions good ones? Even though modern medicine has committed itself to an ideal of evidence-based medicine, with its clinical trials, meta-analyses, and practice guidelines, the answer is not always clear. By looking closely at the history of these procedures, it is possible to understand some of the reasons why this is the case. One problem is that clinical trial data has never monopolized medical decisions. Doctors and patients also pay attention to how treatments work, and if an intervention directly addresses the perceived cause of a disease — as often happens with surgery — then doctors assume that it will work. The challenge here is figuring out whether or not our understanding of the causes of disease is correct. The history of thinking about heart attacks shows how complicated this can be. Another problem is that clinical research generally often under-estimates the risk of medical interventions. It is easier to study the desired outcomes of an intervention than its expected or unexpected complications. As a result, doctors often end up with more thorough knowledge of a procedure's efficacy than of its risks, an asymmetry that introduces a bias in favor of medical intervention.

Cavin Richie Jewelry
Cavin Richie grew up in Colorado surrounded by the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains. He moved to Washington State in 1970 and has lived near the sea ever since. Cavin's designs are a reflection of his surroundings. His line includes birds, mammals and amphibians, all accurately detailed. For the past thirty years he has carved with shed elk antler and woolly mammoth ivory. These carvings became the basis for his lost wax casting jewelry.
"Carving," says Cavin "is like touching antiquity. I feel a kinship with a long lineage of carvers dating back to the Pleistocene."
All the Cavin Richie Jewelry is designed by Cavin Richie, cast in the US and hand finished here in Washington state.
Most of the Cavin Richie Jewelry are solid bronze lost wax castings. A patina complements the earthy metal, giving each piece a unique finish. The fishhook earrings have hypoallergenic (gray niobium) hooks.
View Wildlife in Bronze Jewelry
Some of Cavin's designs are well suited to casting in silver and gold. Without the patinas used with the bronze castings, the sterling silver or 14 kt gold still show the incredible detail of Cavin's work.
View Cavin's Silver and Gold Jewelry
In 2013 David Morgan purchased the Cavin Richie jewelry line, allowing Cavin to devote more time to his carving and one of a kind sculptures and artwork. Please visit Cavin's website for more information on his current work:
Wildlife Carvings & Castings – www.cavin.org
We continue to produce the Cavin Richie jewelry to the same high quality standards and detail that our customers and Cavin's followers have come to expect. Kristin Carman, who has worked with Cavin for 20 years and also designed the beaded necklaces, continues this work with us.
David Morgan is pleased to partner with Cavin Richie in offering the Conservancy in Bronze jewelry — jewelry specifically designed to benefit organizations dedicated to preserving and creating habitat for threatened and endangered wildlife. With Cavin's retirement from production work, he is now able to pursue this passion, using his artistic skills to benefit the wildlife he loves.
A substantial portion of the proceeds from each Conservancy in Bronze sale will be donated to the designated organization.

For more information on how this jewelry is produced, please watch our Profiles in Craftsmanship video: Wildlife in Bronze: Cavin Richie.
We do offer the Wildlife in Bronze jewelry to wholesale accounts. If you have a retail store that could carry this hand crafted jewelry, please contact us at 1-800-324-4934 or by email at [email protected] If you are looking for a retail store carrying the Wildlife in Bronze jewelry near you, please check our list of Cavin Richie Jewelry Dealers.

Power Networking Articles (77)
Once upon a time Rae was quite uncomforable with business networking sessions, so he did extensive research on the subject and wrote an e-book (available for immediate download) Power Networking for Shy People: Tips & Techniques for Moving from Shy to Sly!.
This section features sage advice on power networking and are included in his e-book.
Enjoy the articles and feel free to comment. Keep the discussion going!
Why should(n't) I just talk to people that I can benefit from?Written by Rae Stonehouse
While there can be advantage to talking to people that can benefit you, doing so exclusively would likely limit any possible gain in the long run.
What should I put on my business card if I am a serial entrepreneur?Written by Rae Stonehouse
I don't think putting all of my businesses logo is a good idea. But without any brand, how I determined my title? Or should I put a picture of me?
I agree with John Lombard's well written answer. I would go with having several cards created to reflect whatever business you are promoting at the time.
I too face similar challenges with being a serial entrepreneur. I joke that my title is 'serial entrepreneur' because until I actually make any money at it … I eat a lot of cereal!
Why do people find it socially unacceptable or odd that someone doesn't want to "get drinks," go to a bar, or hang out at someone's place after work?Written by Rae Stonehouse
I'm a medical student and after classes/end of the week, classmates get together for drinks at a bar or something like that. They used to invite me but found it odd when I refused. I like my alone time and use the little free time I have to pursue my hobbies. Not a fan of social gatherings.
The essence to the answer to this question seems to lay in the unstated fact that your question is describing someone who is a shy, introvert. Simply put, as a fellow introvert, we see the world differently.
Are business cards a good advertising strategy?Written by Rae Stonehouse
The short answer is no, they are not. However, they are currently one of the best strategies to promote and market yourself and your business.
There is a significant difference between advertising and marketing & promotion.
Advertising is usually designed to be distributed to a large number of people. Distributing your business cards in a mass shot-gun approach will likely have minimal effectiveness.
What are good networking events?Written by Rae Stonehouse
That really depends on what benchmarks you use to determine what is good or not.
I have heard of some business people that say if you get more than two free drink tickets with your admission, then it is a good networking event. Some use the food as a measuring stick, assuming there is any food served.
If you are actively looking for prospects, a networking event that provides lots of people to work through, i.e. by sheer numbers, a larger event is more likely to be beneficial to you.
If you are an outgoing person and confident in your schmoozing and networking, any size of networking event will probably work for you.
What are the benefits of like-minded connections?Written by Rae Stonehouse
as originally answered on Quora.com
It might be helpful to think in terms of the mutual benefits of like-minded connections. While being like-minded, some may call it resonating, certainly makes it easier to communicate your desire to the other person, there is great value in offering something in return.
Being like-minded doesn't mean that they are exactly the same as you. We all have our own life-experiences, wants, desires, hopes, prejudices and biases. Even though we are like-minded on specific topics, we are still quite different.
Far too many people in business have the idea that they need to get something from somebody, whether at a cost or free. A different approach, as promoted by Dr. Ivan Misner of BNI (Business Networking International) is that of 'givers gain.' The concept simply put, is that if you give freely to others, you will receive something of equal or greater value in return.
If you are a Law of Attraction believer the concept is that if you do something favourable for somebody else, without the expectation of return from them, the Universe will see to it that you receive something in return. The challenge is in recognizing the fact that what you receive in return may not come from the person you gave to. It could come from another source.
What research exists about professional networking groups?Written by Rae Stonehouse
I'm trying to understand the entire market of "professional networking groups" including what are the largest groups, how many people attend, what professions utilize professional networking etc. Thanks in advance for your help.
as originally answered on Quora.com
From my experience, there is very little research, if any on the subject of professional networking groups. Just to clarify the question a little I would expect that you are asking about groups where professionals network, rather than networking groups that are professional in nature. Professional Associations, might meet that criteria.
What is the best way to network?Written by Rae Stonehouse
as originally posted on Quora.com
I don't think that there is an absolute answer to this question. The answer probably lies in one's ability to take advantage of different networking models.
If you are a shy introvert, utilizing the internet in advance to learn more about the people you are going to be networking with, reducing your anxiety and building your self-confidence, then Linked in can be of use. I outline a system I created in my book Power Networking for Shy People: Tips & Techniques for Moving from Shy to Sly!
What is the best self introduction in interview for experienced lecturer job?Written by Rae Stonehouse
As answered on Quora.com ...
Without being able to ask the questioner further questions about this particular scenario, I'm going to make the assumption that the question refers to an interviewee for a position of Experienced Lecturer where the person is asked the age old question of "Tell us about yourself?"
On the surface, this looks like a fairly simple question. In reality, it is probably one of the most challenging ones that you will encounter in a job interview.
Let's look at it in levels. On one level, the interviewer(s) are assessing your response to the question. They are looking to see if you have the right blend of experience and skills to solve their problem. If they are interviewing to fill a position, they obviously have a problem i.e. a vacancy to fill. They may also have to justify to their higher ups, why they chose to hire you … or not.
What are some speed networking tips?Written by Rae Stonehouse
Question as asked on Quora.com and answered by Rae Stonehouse. "What are the speed professional networking tips?"
I'm not sure how to interpret this question. One way would be that the question is looking for tips from professional speed networkers. This would presume that there is a subsector of elite networkers that consider themselves professionals. If so, I would expect that they are self-proclaimed professionals. That leads me to wonder that if they are so good, why do they have to keep producing more connections? Wouldn't it be better to build quality relationships with the number of connections they already have i.e. quality over quantity?
Another perspective is that the question is asking for speed networking tips from business professionals that are successful using the format of speed networking. I'll go with the latter.
Speed networking is an organized event where the expectation is that all of the participants will have access to a greater number of personal interactions then they would on their own or at a typical, non-organized meet and greet.
This question is asking for tips i.e. what works and perhaps what doesn't. Here are some to consider based on my experience and opinion.
What is the best self-introduction?Written by Rae Stonehouse
As answered on Quora.com...
A one-size-fits-all response doesn't work with this question. The best self introduction is the one that you are comfortable delivering and that serves your purpose.
In my article How High Does Your Elevator Go?, I suggest that you prepare several different versions of your elevator pitch i.e. self-introduction, as well as different time lengths.
How long should your elevator pitch be? Good question! Answer … It depends. Not much of an answer at first glance, but it really depends on the norms or the culture for location or venue of the networking session. Presenting your 30 minute curriculum vitae wouldn't likely go over very well in a round-robin style of group introduction where the expectation is 30 seconds, not 30 minutes.
Many referral networking breakfast/luncheon groups based on the BNI (Business Networking International) model, limit their members to 30 second elevator pitches. The more members, the longer the activity takes, but at least it gives everyone an opportunity to speak.
How Do I Get Better at Networking?Written by Rae Stonehouse
As answered on Quora.com
Interesting answers on the question of "How do I get better at networking?
A few years ago I asked myself the very same question. There are some people that will tell you that they absolutely love networking. They will say something like "It's so much fun!" Yet, others, will tell you that they would rather have a root canal than attend a business networking event. As a shy introvert, networking was a painful activity for me. I've recently experienced a root canal and believe me … networking is much less painful.
John Jantsch from Duct Tape Marketing says that "networking isn't something that you do before work or after work … it is work!" You don't need to network to be in business butyou do if you want to stay in business!
Networking is not a normal and easy activity for many people, especially if you are shy. It is a skill that must be learned and practiced. In business and in life, a majority of our success comes from talking to people and involving them in your ideas, plans, or projects.
How do I Overcome Social Anxiety?Written by Rae Stonehouse
As answered in Quora.com
Calling it 'social anxiety' is great for mental health clinicians. We've always known it as shyness.
Shyness is a learned behaviour. We are conditioned to be shy by our circumstances in life. We aren't born with it. Experiences that have been unpleasant to us have a way of repeating themselves when we least expect it. Odds are, that when we respond with shyness in a social situation, we wouldn't recognize that our response is conditioned or a reflex related to the original incident. Our conscious mind won't give us access to that memory. Yet we respond almost in the exact same way as we originally did.
The big pharmaceutical companies would have us believe that shyness is an illness i.e. social phobia (social anxiety) and they just happen to have a high priced pill to cure you of your illness. You don't cure shyness. It isn't an illness. You can however reduce the impact that it has upon your life and the limitations that it creates for you.
You also can't generalize the symptoms of shyness. Situations that cause you distress may not bother me or someone else at all and vice versa.
I've been plagued with shyness throughout my life. Many people who know me would find that hard to believe and often consider me to be an outgoing person. I'm not. My default mode is to be shy. What makes the difference for me is that I have worked hard at overcoming my shyness, in those social situations that have caused me problems. I have learned strategies that have helped. Not all the time though. I still feel anxiety when I walk into a crowded room and don't recognize anyone.
How does an introvert network successfully, with regards to career?Written by Rae Stonehouse
As answered on Quora ...
There would seem to me to be at least three separate elements that need addressed in answering this commonly asked question i.e. 1) introversion 2) networking successfully & 3) career.
There seems to be a belief, at least in North America, that being an extravert in the business world, is better than being an introvert. Extravert is good, introvert is bad. Or it would seem that many extraverts would have us believe this and many of my fellow introverts have bought into the myth. Introversion vs extraversion is merely a way to describe where you get your energy from. You might say it is how you recharge your batteries.
Extraverts thrive on activity and being part of and participating in larger groups of people. Some love the crowd scene and being the centre of attention. Good for them! Introverts on the other hand prefer solitary activities, certainly quieter ones. Its hard to recharge when the extraverted world is focused on hustle and bustle. As an introvert, I require a certain amount of 'me time' to recharge and participate in the numerous creative activities I have underway at any given time. I will go on record as saying that I would much rather party with an extravert though!
When it comes to networking, be it for business, career or pleasure, I don't think the issue to focus on is whether one is an introvert or an extravert. The real focus should be on shyness.

September 4, 1977, Page 153Buy Reprints
By Don DeLillo.
212 pp. New York: Alfred A. Knopf. $7.95.
WITH each day's new terrorist event —in Entebbe or Wall Street or midtown Manhattan—it becomes more natural that terrorists start showing up as prototypical figures in novels; but in novels they have their uses. They replace the car crash as a means of violent and sudden death, replace psychiatrists and holymen as spokesmen of authority. Like the fools in Shakespeare they are satirical; like clowns, with their air of comic befuddlement, they call attention to the significance of things whose significance wg had missed. Until their comeback, some of their powers—for instance, the power to effect retributive justice—had been lost to authors. Perhaps they are the only moral agents anyone can believe in now.
Still, nobody thanks a moralist, as Don DeLillo must know. His brilliant earlier books have been much praised but not so much read, perhaps because they deal with deeply shocking things about America that people would rather not face. "End Zone" (1972) connects football and nuclear warfare; "Ratner's Star" (1976) plays with science and science fiction; and "Great Jones Street" (1973) looks at rock music, nihilism and urban decay.
In "Players," his fifth novel, DeLillo wittily deploys terrorists to explore all the secret places in contemporary sensibility. In the prologue, passengers standing in the piano bar of an airplane in flight are watching film of hippie marauders shooting and hacking to death a band of golfers. The tranquillity of a Sunday morning is outraged, the innocent pastels of the golfing costumes are soaked with blood. Without earphones, the passengers cannot hear the soundtrack, so the pianist improvises silent‐movie music to go along with the action—sounds of chase, of thrill, of Buster Keaton, incongruously funny for the elaborate physical clumsiness of the screen deaths—bodies plopping, rolling, splashing. The passengers laugh, cheer, clap. It is the terrorists whom they applaud. "To the glamour of

revolutionary violence," remarks the author. "to the secret longing it evokes in the most docile soul, the piano's shiny tinkle brings an irony too apt to be ignored." This elegant, highly finished novel does not shrink from suggesting the complicity of Americans with the terrorists they deplore.
Though they give themselves timely airs, novels have never been very good at looking at what's going on in the world; the workbags of novelists are weighted with tricks for avoiding it. The Victorians usually set their novels back a few decades; modern writers adapt the strategies of the Romantic poets and set theirs in faraway or unusual places (banana republics, prisons) or in the flat landscape of timelessness or myth. Recently, people seem to look around for a small town where the people, ostensibly alive today, are not like the people of today but sit in a scene of pumps and privies talking of old times in the style of John Gardner.
This nostalgia, one of DeLillo's many targets, is an implicit comment on the present, but the present gets lost in a welter of antimacassars. A sense of the present also gets lost in novels in the fashionable confessional mode, which, by funneling life through the mesh of private sensibility, do succeed in reducing it to manageable literary proportions but sacrifice any authentic social vision to idiosyncrasy and richness of characterization. (Certain confessional novels, like Joseph Heller's "Something Happened," manage both richness and relevance.) Not that novels are obliged to look grandly at the whole state of things, but it is significant how few try. It is a measure of DeLillo's bravura that he tries, and a measure of his art that, for all his deceptive simplicity, even plainness, he succeeds.
"Players" is about two Everymen, Pammy and Lyle Wynant, a fun New York professional couple. Since Freud, we've been used to the way novelists normally present a character looks normal, is secretly strange and individual, In the first of the many inversions of appearance and reality that structure the book, Pammy and Lyle look interesting and seem to do interesting things, but do not interest themselves. The richness is only superficial. Put another way, the novel is not a romantic one about how they don't get along in society, but how they are of society and their normality is what we hate to recognize. The tone is comic; the style is Candid Camera Their smallest gestures are closely observed: "Lyle checked his pockets for change, keys, wallet, cigarettes, pen and memo pad. He did this six or seven times a day, absently, his hand merely skimming over trousers and jacket." We hear not their impassioned but their odd bits of conversation, the ones they actually transact life with: "Goody. cheddar." "What's these?" "Brandy snaps." "Triffic." "Look out." "No you push me, you." Their voices are just distinguishable: Lyle is elaborate, ironic; Pammy credulous.
He works on the floor of the Stock Exchange. She works in the World Trade Center, for a Grief Management firm. They're cool. At home in their apartment they watch television a lot but don't go out much because "there's nothing out there." Pammy goes off to Maine on a holiday with Jack and Ethan, a pair of homosexual men they know, and Lyle drifts into a terrorist group that is planning to bomb Wall Street. He also covers his bets by informing for the other side —whatever that is—to which, of course, several of the terrorists themselves belong. It doesn't matter to Lyle. Pammy mostly believes the things she's heard, like "follow your instincts, be yourself, act out your fantasies." In Maine she has sex with one of the friends, Jack, who later, for more complicated reasons, pours gasoline over himself and lights it. She comes home.
We know very little about them. DeLilio abandons the ordinary assumption of fiction that action is caused by character and character by experience, some of which, at least, it's the author's duty to suggest. Pammy and Lyle have no history; they are without pasts. were never children, come from nowhere. They worry that they have become too complex to experience things directly and acutely, but the opposite is true. They are being reduced by contemporary reality to numb simplicity, lassitude: "Pornography bored her. Talk of violence made her sigh. Things in the street, just things she saw and heard day to day, forced her into subtle evasions. Her body would automatically relax." You experience the existence of Pammy and Lyle as though they were the subjects of a photo‐realist painting, without curiosity or quarrel, the way the world of others is always experienced by the self. Pammy and Lyle: What made them like this? They are like this. Society disrupts the cherished relation of cause and effect dominated in fiction by the family; DeLillo suggests that the Zeitgeist may count for more than mother love.
Lyle, the urban man, gets involved with terrorists who claim, as terrorists usually do, that they're out to rid society of repressive elements, though it may seem that it is they who are repressive, seeking to substitute one kind of freedom with some order of their own. What's clear in DeLillo's view is that repression is what peo ple (Lyle and Pammy) seek. It's not that the structures of existing society are not repressive, but that these structures are not felt. Society is perceived as a void, an unmanageable chaos in which people must make their own order. Lyle brings home sheets of numbers, because he finds them soothing. Their friend Ethan also likes "filling these little boxes with numbers. Numbers are indispensible to my world view at present. don't believe I'm doing this. This is some toad's chore. But I genuinely enjoy it. It's so anally satisfying." Pammy likes the predictable and soothing rhythms of her tap‐dancing class. The first terrorist, correctly estimating modern protofascist yearnings, shows Lyle his guns, his Pento‐Mex and ammonium nitrate explosives. "I have this fool notion that once you see this stuff, you're in for good," he says. Weapons order.
DeLillo's terrorists want to blow up the Stock Exchange, the way Conrad's in "The Secret Agent" wanted to blow up the prime meridian, ostensibly to cause confusion by destroying these most sacred vestiges of order, but actually and above all as a way of making contact with any structure that remains. Even with the Government, Half mockingly Lyle talks about the glamour of the revolutionary life; it is belonging that appeals. He can imagine "Calling some government bureau, some official department, right, of the government. 'I have information about so‐and‐so.' Or, even better, to be visited, to have them come to you... . The appeal of mazes and intricate techniques. The suggestion of a double life. 'Fantastic, sign me up, I'll, do it.' Of course, sir, you won't be able to tell anyone about this, including your nearest and dearest.' I love it, I love it, I'll sign.' "
When everyone turns, out to be double agents, it's in a way twice as good. Each side resembles the other in its assumptions, in its respect for Jesuitical reasoning and certain rules. It's a relief to become a player, in any game; for there, where chance operates only within calculable limits, you can grasp the pattern. Terrorist action is not so much an example of lawlessness as a comment on the rules, an aspect of the structure itself.
If urban Lyle has abandoned hope of value, Pammy's bucolic attempt to recover it is DeLillo's pot shot at nostalgia. Pommy and her friends yearn for the primitive life, Maine: "It's simple, maybe, Ethan, bat it has a strength to it. You feel it's the sort of core, the moral core." Yet they hate Maine when they get there. Animals live under the house, birds fly into the glass windows and are killed. "I didn't know it would be like this," Jack complains. "I thought swimming at least. Do you believe this water?" Yet their failure is enough to help Jack toward his suicide. His end, faceless, fingerprintless, unidentifiable, implies the fate of individuals in the computerized void.
Few recent novels have found so admirably congruent a form for their subject. The tight, carefully balanced structure, recapitulating the book's idea of people's appetite for boundaries, might have seemed too rigid to contain the unruly, even violent, strangely comic events. Instead, it suggests the ruthless tendency of people to establish order over chaos. Even the trendy touches of such fashionable French thinkers as Jacques Derrida, Roland Barthes, Georges Poulet ('This is a lesson in the Intimacy of distance. Space In this context seems less an intuitive experience than a series of relative densities") are not digressive but pertinent; philosophy is one kind of order. DeLillo's attention to detail is masterful. He suggests that though freedom is what people ostensibly want, too naive a definition of it brings a reaction as frightening as chaos. This is not a fashionable idea, but DeLillo convinces you that it is true. The discoveries of artists do not always—perhaps seldom — corroborate political fashions. But the wit, elegance and economy of Don DeLillo's art are equal to the bitter clarity of his perceptions.■

Our goal is to restore the quality of life for patients suffering from obesity. With the support of our surgical weight loss program, patients regain hope, enjoyment of everyday life and confidence. If you suffer from obesity and have been unable to lose weight or keep it off despite following a healthy diet and getting regular exercise, bariatric surgery may be an option for you.
If you have questions, please call our bariatric nurses. They are here to support you and answer any questions you have as you consider bariatric surgery, during your procedure and at any time after. You can reach them at (408) 559-2514 .
Our surgical weight loss program is nationally accredited. Good Samaritan Hospital is an American College of Surgeons MBSAQIP Accredited Center (Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program). Our bariatric surgeons are members of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) and our bariatric nurses have specialty certifications in this area. Our surgeons have performed more than 2,250 weight loss surgeries.
As part of our bariatric surgery program, we utilize a multidisciplinary team approach that offers:
- Extensive pre and post-surgery education
- Pre-operative information calls
- Pre and post-operative support groups
- Private rooms
- Family support
Every year, more than 300,000 individuals in the U.S. choose to undergo bariatric surgery to lose weight, improve their health and increase their quality of life. We understand making an informed decision to proceed with weight loss surgery may be difficult. The procedures most commonly performed at our hospital include:
Gastric bypass utilizes stapling to create a small pouch that is derived from the larger portion of the stomach. An outlet is created in the gastric pouch that connects to a portion of the small intestine that is brought up from the lower abdomen, ultimately bypassing the remainder of the stomach and upper small intestine.
Typically, this surgery will last anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. After the surgery, you will be expected to remain in the hospital for one to two days. You should be able to return to normal activities within two to three weeks, as long as there are no major complications.
Gastric bypass can reduce the risk of weight-related health problems like:
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Severe sleep apnea
- Type 2 diabetes
The gastric sleeve procedure, also called vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is the most frequently performed weight loss surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital. This is a minimally invasive, laparoscopic procedure that divides the stomach lengthwise resulting in a much smaller stomach capacity. This procedure decreases the volume which can be consumed. Through alteration of gastrointestinal hormones, the procedure allows for metabolic benefits like suppression of hunger, elevation of food satiety and improvement in blood sugar.
Gastric sleeve surgery lasts anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. You will be expected to stay in the hospital overnight. You should be able to return to normal activities within two to three weeks, as long as there are no major complications.
Gastric sleeve surgery can reduce the risk of weight-related health problems like:
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Severe sleep apnea
- Type 2 diabetes
Read about Matt, a real life Good Samaritan patient who underwent bariatric surgery.
Are you a candidate for bariatric surgery?
- Those with a BMI of 40 or greater
- Those with a BMI of 35-40 with significant weight-related health problems
- Those who have tried other medically managed weight loss programs without success
- Those who are ready to comply with the lifelong post-operative care and lifestyle changes that these procedures demand

Publication Date
Determining the importance that customers place on the product and service attributes that drive their satisfaction with, and loyalty to, service providers is an essential part of a firm's resource allocation process. An unsettled issue is whether importance measures should come directly from customers or be derived statistically and, if so, how. The authors compare direct importance ratings with a variety of methods for statistically deriving attribute importance in a customer satisfaction model. Using three data sets, the methods are compared on criteria that include their ability to explain variation in satisfaction, to identify customers' more important attributes, and to be interpretable. The findings suggest that because each of the tested methods has its strengths and weaknesses, it is essential to choose a method that is compatible with the research goals and context.

While Apple keeps piling on features to iTunes, there are still times you think, What idiot wrote these SONG NAMES ALL IN CAPS or in all lowercase or the dreaded …
… listed entirely in the Song Name listing. How much time do you need to spend to clean that up?
Never fear – It's Applescript to the rescue!
There are a couple hundred Applescripts you can add to iTunes to add dozens of features! (many scripts are repeats). They are simple to install, after downloading, all you need to do is drop into the iTunes SCripts folder (located along this path on your Mac: USER>LIBRARY>ITUNES>SCRIPTS)
Of course, the first place to start is Doug's Applescripts for the Mac:
I'm not going to review all 430+ scripts – just a sampling of what I use most and that should be enough to get your started.
I have thousands of CD's and I download a ton of legal music (our guide from earlier – scroll down) – the biggest headache is of course, song tracks that are poorly or ineptly named either in ALL CAPS, all lowercase, with numbers, etc … of course, it's your preference, I prefer just the name of the song in the song name area – there are also scripts to add numbers and artist names if you prefer that route. You can make bookmarks for audio tracks, fix info on TV shows, copy info to make CD sleeve or booklet, etc, etc … the only problem with Doug's is the search engine is poor and the categories are not really well named so if you're a first-timer, you pretty much have to slog through all the categories to find exactly what you want … here are some examples …
Remove n Characters From Front or Back v2.0
Restore Artist 'Last, First…' (since iTunes is smart to alpha Miles Davis with D's and you don't need to do Davis, Miles.
Track Names to Word Caps v2.6.1
Get Lyrical (lyric search).
You can also find more scripts at ScriptBuilders (including thousands of scripts for other apps besides iTunes).
If you want to add OGG or FLAC capabilities to iTunes, OGG is easier, just drop this component into Quicktime's plugins and iTunes will allow you to drag in OGG files. FLAC is a little tricker, requiring some TERMINAL/UNIX knowledge to install the iTunes script. (Full choices here, ZIP file with everything required is here.
The easier/less Unix-ie method is you can download a a GUI front end to play FLAC files or MacFLAC is a nice choice. Or FLACer if you just want to drop convert to FLAC files to AIFF (which are then readable by mp3).
After you are done installing, they will appear in the "Applescript" menu in itunes (2nd from last).
Then just highlight the tracks you want to apply changes/apply the Applescript to and then select the Applescript from the menu.
Have fun!

Yes, there are 12.Thanks Joe,
Are external controllers available on fx8?
No, those footswitches are assigned the primary functions of Looper/True Bypass and Tempo/Tuner.In scene and stompbox mode can you change preset pressing the up/down footswitches?
There are two REVERB blocks and two DELAY blocks. Any combination of those is valid and the can be assigned to any footswitch.Would I be able to set it up so that in Stompbox mode I can have footswitch 5 and 6 both delay, and footswitch 7 and 8 both reverb? I use a ton of both per song (as a crutch of course).
Like the Axe-FX, there is a CPU meter, and you do have to be aware of your utilization.is there a CPU meter in fx8? Or you can put any 8 effects + modifiers and have no CPU issues?

Calculation and Validation of the Noise Emission of Electric Machines
|Thesis Type
|Master's thesis
|Audio Signal Processing
|technical acoustics
|The recent development of more powerful computers makes the simulation of electrical engines as data source for the computation of its noise emission, as opposed to measurements on the real object, more and more attractive. This work shall contribute to the response to the question to what extent Finite Element Method (FEM) based Multi-Body-Simulation (MBS) computation and noise emission computation are suited for qualitative and quantitative assessment of electric machines and where there is need for further research. At the focal point there are objective criteria such as torsional oscillation, level of structure-borne noise and noise level. Especially the accuracy of results, frequency range, model accuracy, and model depth should be put in the center of attention. A comparison of simulation results and existing measurement results is therefore executed. The simulation is carried out using a SIMULINK-model in combination with a commercial MBS-tool. Within the Multi-Body-Simulation the excitation of the chassis originating from the magnetic field is considered and from there first the structure-borne noise on the stator surface and subsequently the air-borne noise are calculated. The master's thesis is conducted on behalf of and in cooperation with AVL List GmbH.

Family companies – start estate planning!
Posted: 13th April 2017
When it comes to family companies, the death of a shareholder can give rise to very serious tax consequences and, as one High Court case vividly revealed, it is never too early to seek expert advice in respect of estate planning.
After learning that a company's founder and majority shareholder was terminally ill with cancer, its directors were concerned that the entirety of his £490,000 director's loan account would be immediately repayable on his death. Their response was to issue him with 490,000 new shares in the company, each with a nominal face value of £1. By that means, the debt was effectively swapped for shares.
The unforeseen result of that transaction, however, was to fundamentally shift the balance of shareholder interests in the company. It had the effect of transferring a very significant proportion of the company's value – at least £15 million – to the founder. After his death, it thus also created a potential for substantial Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax charges on his estate.
In those circumstances, the company launched proceedings to set aside the transaction on the basis that the new shares had been issued by the directors in breach of their fiduciary duties. The application was not resisted by the directors.
In granting the relief sought, the Court noted that the directors had given little thought to estate planning prior to the founder's terminal diagnosis and had thus acted in something of a rush. It was plain that, had they understood the effect of issuing the new shares, they would not have done so. The directors had breached their duties in failing to take into account relevant considerations, including the massive dilution of the value of other shareholdings and the potentially very serious tax consequences that the transaction entailed.

Kaitlin Eppinger had plenty of reasons to be tired in the fall of 2014. The 28-year-old Stonington resident had a newborn daughter and was in her first year as a kindergarten teacher. She also had recently been diagnosed with Lyme disease.
But this was beyond exhaustion. Eppinger's vision sometimes blurred when she stood. Once, while talking to her classroom aide, she blacked out. Constant migraines were crippling, and mysterious. Could they be a symptom of her Lyme disease? One physician suggested they might be caused by dehydration.
Then one day, Eppinger felt tingling on one side of her face and down her arms. Her doctor told her to go to the closest emergency room. There, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a tumor the size of an orange on her brain's right frontal lobe. Because the tumor was so large, Eppinger was referred to Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale New Haven.
That would prove to be a life-saving decision after Eppinger was diagnosed with a rare complication—an aneurysm in her brain tumor—that required quick thinking by her surgical team as well as the high-tech tools available to doctors at Smilow.
Not just a brain tumor
At first, Eppinger could only think about her daughter, Violet. But she soon began making plans, leaning on family and friends for support. She shared the news with her colleagues and enlisted her in-laws to care for Violet.
"I really tried not to let myself go anywhere dark or scary," she says. "I had to focus on this, one step at a time."
In October 2014, three days before her 29th birthday, Eppinger and her husband visited the office of Jennifer Moliterno, MD, a Yale Medicine neurosurgeon who operates exclusively on brain tumors. Dr. Moliterno laid out a plan for surgery, and Eppinger felt reassured. "She put it simply for us: 'This is not supposed to be there and we are going to get it out,' " Eppinger says. "From that point on, I trusted her completely."
Dr. Moliterno scheduled the surgery but kept mulling some nagging questions. It was not clear why Eppinger was having vision problems, given the location of her tumor. While studying the MRI scans, Dr. Moliterno noted a small, subtle shadow inside the tumor. "It could have been some calcium within the tumor, which can be common," she says. "But it was a little bit peculiar looking and concerning to me."
Dr. Moliterno thought it could be an abnormality related to a blood vessel in the brain—perhaps something supplying blood to the tumor. She ordered a CT angiogram (CTA), a test that makes blood vessels light up.
Eppinger had the CTA the day before her surgery, and Dr. Moliterno saw the images at home that night. Sure enough, they showed a robust vascular supply to the tumor. They also showed something else that is exceedingly rare: a large aneurysm inside the tumor. An aneurysm is a blood-filled bulge in the wall of a blood vessel. Eppinger's was about the size of pea.
This last-minute diagnosis was unexpected, but the timing was fortunate. Encountering the aneurysm during surgery might have caused it to rupture. Given its location deep within the tumor, it could have led to uncontrollable bleeding that would have put Eppinger's life at risk. "This tumor was particularly large," Dr. Moliterno says. "My thought was that the tumor required so much blood to support its growth that it weakened the wall of the blood vessel, and an aneurysm formed deep within the tumor. We had to address it because we had to remove the tumor to save her life.
Two problems, one team of doctors
Dr. Moliterno needed to make dramatic changes to a procedure scheduled to begin at 7:30 a.m. Early in the morning she alerted colleagues, including Charles Matouk, MD, the neuroendovascular surgeon who would seal the aneurysm so she could remove the tumor safely. Now extremely complicated, the procedure would require the involvement of at least 20 people.
That morning, Dr. Moliterno told Eppinger about the aneurysm. "She told me, step by step, what she was going to do," Eppinger says. "She was very personable, and so calm and very caring, and very interested in me and my life. She knew I had a daughter and I was just married and had a big family. I knew I would be OK with her."
With her doctors' approval, Eppinger took a book of photos of Violet with her into the operating room. A nurse held the photos for Eppinger to see as the anesthesia took effect. "I went under with good thoughts about my family," she says. Her husband, her two sisters, and her parents were in the waiting room.
Connecticut's only hybrid neurosurgery suite
The hybrid neurological suite at the Smilow Cancer Hospital gives Yale Medicine's Department of Neurosurgery an important advantage. Smilow is the only hospital in Connecticut— and one of the few in the world—to offer this technology, allowing complex procedures to be performed in one suite. In most other hospitals, Eppinger's two surgeries would have been performed in separate parts of the hospital by separate teams using different equipment. Simply transporting the patient from one space to the other might take hours, Dr. Matouk says.
To contact Yale Medicine's Department of Neurosurgery, click here.
Working under high magnification and using X-ray guidance, Dr. Matouk began what would be a three-hour procedure to seal the aneurysm to prevent it from bleeding. After inserting a needle into Eppinger's groin, he sent catheters through her body and up to her brain. Then, watching his progress on a screen, he inserted a catheter tip into the aneurysm.
The situation called for creative thinking. All tumors require a blood supply for growth; Eppinger's had accumulated many blood vessels that reached deep inside the tumor. It would be too dangerous to treat the aneurysm with the typical embolization approach, which involves filling the aneurysm with metallic thread, or coils, to keep out the blood. Instead, Dr. Matouk used a special glue to fill the tumor and aneurysm. This effectively closed the aneurysm and choked off the tumor's blood supply, allowing Dr. Moliterno to remove the tumor. "It worked out fantastically," Dr. Matouk says.
Dr. Moliterno's work was far from finished. Halting the blood supply to the tumor could cause both the tumor and Eppinger's brain to swell. Even a few moments of this could be critical. If Eppinger had needed to be transported from one part of the hospital to another, she might have faced grave danger. "She could have had life-threatening issues in the time it would take to get her from another part of the hospital to the operating room for me to take out the tumor," Dr. Moliterno says.
In the hybrid operating room, the switch took minutes.
An aggressive phase two
The next step was for Dr. Moliterno to perform a craniotomy—making an incision behind Eppinger's hairline, temporarily removing a section of her skull, and opening the inside covering of the brain. Dr. Moliterno spent several hours performing delicate microsurgery to remove the tumor.
Dr. Moliterno called this phase of the procedure "pretty standard," but in truth there is nothing simple about brain surgery. When a tumor has worked its way deep into the brain, it takes great skill and concentration to extract it without damaging surrounding areas. Eppinger's tumor was in the area of the brain that controls motor skills such as hand-eye coordination, conscious thought, emotion and personality. Also, it had become apparent that the reason for Eppinger's vision problems was that the tumor had been drawing its blood supply from her eyes.
With Eppinger's life in her hands, Dr. Moliterno tuned out everything else. "I am a very focused person, and I become even more so in the operating room," she says. "I don't even notice that the day is going by or that I haven't eaten. I find the time I get tired is after the surgery, when I know I have completed what I came there to do."
Dr. Moliterno completed her work at about 7 p.m.—though one small part of the tumor remained because it was dangerously close to an important vein. Eppinger would need radiation treatments to kill it.
"It was certainly an unusual case," Dr. Moliterno says. "But there are always going to be curve balls and things you don't expect. I find paying attention to detail allows me to better anticipate these things."
Recovery and renewal
Eppinger spent three days in the hospital, including one in the intensive care unit. Her husband and family were with her at all times. At first, one eye was swollen shut, but that resolved itself and she was soon ready to go home.
There were difficulties ahead. At the next visit, Dr. Moliterno had to tell Eppinger about the pathology report, which showed that her tumor was malignant. "I just immediately started crying," Eppinger says. The next meeting was upbeat, however. Dr. Moliterno told her patient that the tumor board at Smilow had discussed her case and had a plan. She would start radiation treatments in December and would be monitored with MRIs and CT scans to check for recurrence.
Eppinger took off the rest of the school year from teaching, deeply grateful to fellow teachers who donated 320 sick days so that she could heal. She completed her radiation treatments in February, juggling appointments with caring for her daughter. It was exhausting at times, but she did her best to take care of her health. "I didn't catch a cold," she says. "I didn't have the flu. I wasn't sick at all."
Meanwhile, she says, she reordered her priorities. Now she tries to be less of a perfectionist. And she has put new energy into activities she finds healing, including hiking, running, yoga, and time with her husband and daughter.
Eppinger works hard to keep negative feelings in check. "There are periods of time where I feel fuzzy-headed, and I think I have a heightened sense of when something doesn't feel right," she says. "But I never let myself do the 'what if?' thinking."
She keeps in touch with Dr. Moliterno via email, and the two exchange photos of their children. Her family asks about the doctor frequently. "Dr. Moliterno saw me as a person, not a cancer patient," Eppinger says. "I knew that she would get me better so that I could continue being a mother to my daughter. I was so lucky to have her for my doctor. I think I hit the lottery, really."

Your Homeowners Insurance Policy Always Working For You
There are more drivers hitting the road every year. With countless vehicles on the road, crashes will happen. The difference between a small aggravation and major obstacle can be the car insurance you have purchased. So how can you find out what insurance you need and the quantity you should purchase? Car crashes can lead to many different expenses, which can all be paid for based on the insurance policy you have purchased. Deciding to drive without owning insurance could mean you have to repair or replace a stolen or damaged vehicle or pay the cost of any damage for which you might be responsible. Liability: Pays for damages due to bodily injury and damage to property that you are responsible for. Bodily injury damages include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Property damage includes car repair costs and loss of use of property. If you are sued, this type of insurance can pay for your legal fees. Recommended, higher levels of liability insurance are available that take care of more events than the stripped-down, state-mandated insurance. Personal Injury Protection: This type of insurance pays for all medical treatment for you or your passengers, regardless of who was responsible for the crash. It is mandated in some states and optional in others. It may also cover lost earnings, replacement of services and funeral costs. Local government usually sets minimum amounts. Medical Payments: Medical payment coverage can be purchased in states that are not considered no-fault; it will pay regardless of who may have been at fault. If you purchase this type of coverage, you will receive coverage for necessary medical or funeral costs. Collision: This pays for damages to your vehicle caused by an accident. Comprehensive: Applies if your vehicle is stolen or damaged by something other than an accident, including weather damage or vandalism. Uninsured Motorist: Too many drivers are ignoring the law by driving without purchasing the proper amount of car insurance. This type of coverage will cover you if you are in an accident with one of these irresponsible drivers. Under-Insured Motorist: This pays for damages when an insured person is injured in an accident caused by another person who does not have enough liability insurance to cover the total cost of the damages. Other kinds of coverage, like emergency road service and car rental, can also be purchased. What you pay for auto insurance varies based on the company and will depend on multiple factors, including: *Your desired coverage *Your vehicle's make and model * Your driving record * Your age, sex and marital status * Where you live Some drivers may not want to pay for auto insurance, but it is truly something you don't want to live without. Evaluate your needs, research your options, and with the support of your insurance agency, choose the option that fits you best. State Farm Clermont

The supplies are very basic! Depending on the number of boots you have, get a piece of wood that you can screw them to. We decided to paint it white, but you wouldn't have to do that. Bring a drill with a drill bit and the screwdriver option. We used two different screw sizes for this project, a 2 inch stainless steel and a small 1 inch screw with a washer.
Also pick up a few rocks to place in the bottom of the boots, some potting soil, and some plants! Purchase your plants based on where you will be placing your new planter! We are going to have this mounted fairly high in the full sun, so we picked Portulaca, which doesn't require much water, and loves the heat! You could do the same project with shade loving plants if you wanted too.
Drill a pilot hole on each end of the piece of wood you will be mounting your boots too. These holes will help you get the board up easily.
Depending upon the boot size, and the number of boots you are using, make sure you use strong enough screws so your new planter doesn't fall off the wall!
We drilled about 5 holes into the bottom of each boot to make sure there was plenty of drainage.
If you don't add the holes, the boots will slowly fill up with water, and your plants will drown!
Learn from my mistake! Don't put the flowers in until after you have all the boots attached! Use a screw with a washer, and slowly try to drill into the top rim of the boot, which you should be able to see is thicker. If you don't use a washer, or you drill too fast, you will go straight through the rubber with the screw. We actually used two screws in the back of each boot to make sure the screw didn't pull through the rubber with the weight of the boot, dirt, flowers, and eventually water.

The Hobbit in Empire
UK-based movie magazine Empire features The Lord of the Rings prequel, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012). Much like a Peter Jackson movie, its December issue is bound to be larger than Middle-earth. The magazine comes in a special 3D "lenticular" cover. When I browsed "lenticular" in an online dictionary, I was referred to "testicular," a linguistic unit elf queen Galadriel, will no doubt, find amusing.
There are five covers to choose from, each featuring a character from the film: Bilbo (Martin Freeman), Galadriel (Cate Blanchett), Gandalf (Ian McKellen), Gollum (Andy Serkis), and Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage), an exiled dwarven king. Although elven hearthrob Legolas (Orlando Bloom) appears in the film, he's not good enough for Empire.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will have its world premiere in New Zealand on November 28. No release date has been set for Manila. For the meantime, the magazines will do.

Three movies out of THe Hobbit?! I've read it and it's one book. Grabe nakakabitin naman kapag ganyan. Pang-asar! It's an abomination! Babaguhin pa nila yung storya? I didn't read Gandalf meeting Galadriel. Ewan!
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this. I'm going to read the LOTR trilogy too. Addicted eh!

February 21, 2013 at 6:22 pm
While mallika sarabhai and her ilk must certainly be castigated for their opportunism, the case of rukmini devi is slightly more complex. Due to excessive taxation and zamindari systems during the British raj, the temple culture in the southern regions suffered a great decline, and so did all the cultural activities associated with it. Military displays, music, dance, wrestling, sculpture, and even some types of gardening all used to be displayed during festivals and also as an offering to the gods. Gradually these people had to take up the so called morally bad professions. But still these arts continued into the beginning of the 20th century, for which credit should be given to its custodians. Now the British went further. They disarmed all Indians, and branded the devadasis as prostitutes and with the help of some Indians(who did not understand what a subtle game was played against them) got the entire system banned, and paraded themselves as the saviours of morality( of course, Christian morality). By this time, largely through the english print media, dance had been successfully associated with prostitution(on the contrary, orthodox Brahmins like muthuswami dikshitar used to freely teach devadasis in their own homes).
Music could be learnt by listening; indeed many brahmana singers managed to pick up some of the music by listening to the nadaswaram vidwans. But dance is much more complex, and needs comprehensive training and moulding. There was a real possibility of the art dying out completely and sinking without a trace. In these circumstances, rukmini Devi and her father stepped of of their comfort zones and salvaged whatever they could, and more importantly disseminated their version of the art among a wider audience. Even if it was diluted or changed, the essentials had survived, and analysis, creativity and research could rejuvenate the dance form. Her promotion of the dance form brought prominence not only to her but also to the old dance teachers and devadasis, who benefitted monetarily and artisticallyfrom the exposure.So in my book this lady deserves appreciation and not criticism, and certainly not be mentioned along mallika sarabhai who is a traitor and a crass opportunist.
