This is what I am currently working on. This scarf is 30/2 silk warp with purple silk/ramie blend weft. I designed this advancing twill by starting with a draft for the Ingrid Boesel workshop I took a few weeks ago and playing with reversals etc in Fiberworks PCW. I am quite happy with the draft and with how it is looking. It does take some concentration to weave though, so is slow going. I have enough warp for 2 scarves and am considering weaving the second one in natural silk/cashmere, if I can get comfortable with this treadling.

How hard can managing performance be?
Well, for most of us, managing performance is one of the single hardest things we encounter as leaders. We'd like to think we do a great job, but we really can't take credit for great performance – that is usually the doing of our motivated, engaged employees. Our "problem children" – now that is a different story.
So why is it so hard? Because we want to be nice – we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings – and quite frankly, it is awkward and difficult to deal with poor performance. Though I have used it many times over the years, my Wishing & Hoping Strategy has just not worked for me to get poor performers on the right track.
So, what can you do to make it easier on you, and get your performer back on track? Stop wasting your time trying to motivate them. Forget coaching. Quit trying to solve their problem. This is their choice and they need to be accountable.
First give feedback – be clear what performance you expect and be clear with your feedback. If you have a chronically tardy employee, make sure they understand what is expected of them, and how their performance stacks up. Don't dance around the issue or be vague about performance – give direct, factual feedback. (Giving direct, factual feedback will be the hardest part of dealing with performance.)
"I have been watching you and last week on Friday you were at your desk ready to start at 9:45. Monday it was 9:15, Tuesday 9:20, and today you did not settle in until 10:00. The rest of us depend on you to be at your desk working."
Second state your expectation – be very clear what their job is and what constitutes meeting expectations.
"Bob, I expect you here at 8:30 every morning. That is at your desk, computer booted up, ready to work – not pulling into the parking lot, and then taking another half hour to get your coffee and catch up with your friends."
Third let them know the consequences of not meeting expectations – this is not a threat but a statement of fact.
"If you choose not to be punctual, I will need to replace you with someone who will."
Forth, let them know how you will follow up, and be sure to follow up!
"I need someone I can depend on in your position. I will be here every morning for the next month monitoring you. The next time you are late, you will get a written notice, and one more late episode and you will be terminated."
At this point, it is their choice. You have given them the steps to succeed. You have also sent a very clear message to Bob's co-workers that you are making sure he pulls his weight and does his job, so he is not a burden on them. Follow up with Bob and let him know how his performance stacks up.
For most employees, they are blissfully unaware of how their behaviour impacts others and this wake-up call is enough to get them on track. For some though, they will no care, and they make the choice of whether they really want to work for you or not.
Keep in mind – a person's performance is their choice. As a manager, it is yours to help them make it. Forget wishing and hoping, get out there and manage performance!

This past Monday evening (St. Patrick's Day), we made history! For the first time in human existence, Charles Williams's as-yet-unpublished play The Chapel of the Thorn received a performance: a semi-staged read-aloud by members of my group Ekphrasis: Fellowship of Christians in the Arts. We gathered in the chilly basement of Lehigh Valley Presbyterian Church to bring Williams's high, ceremonial poetry to life. Everyone read extremely well, bringing the play into sound and action for me.
Here was the cast:
Innocent—Betsy G.
Joachim—Jim F.
Amael—Andrew MacD.
Gregory—Josh L.
Michael—Nick M.
Constantine—Dominic C.
Theodoric—Sharon G.
The villagers and monks were taken up variously by members of the cast. I read the stage directions and followed along in the script so I could keep an eye out for typos in my transcription.
The reading went very, very well! I sent out a nicely-formatted .pdf of the text ahead of time and most of the readers read through either the entire play or at least their lines before we met. Most of the attendees have significant theatrical experience; one is director of the Players of the Stage youth theatre, another is assistant-directing Midsummer Night's Dream this spring, and three have acted with that company for years. Everyone took his or her part seriously and stayed in character most of the time. The poetry is extremely hard to read, as Williams' sentences go on and on for eight or more lines sometimes. Yet everyone pressed on valiantly, infusing monologues and dialogues with emotion and drama. The tensions among characters were palpable. The narrative arc of the story was clear, and the climax was powerful.
This is not to say we didn't indulge in lots of our typical Ekphrasian hilarity! On the contrary: there was a liberal sprinkling of our usual teasing, quoting, punning, and general poking-fun. And our evening was made complete by funny English and Scottish accents, an enormous knife grabbed from the kitchen as an impromptu prop, chanting in Latin, a heroic ballad, and a druidic folk-song sung to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."
Most importantly, this reading gave me a deeper understanding of the play.
I had not realized, for instance, how central the Abbot Innocent was to the plot: how he is at the center of most of the conflicts, and how his character undergoes a shift during the course of the action.
I had not known just how gorgeous the poetry is: it reads even better in context than it does on the page or as spoken by only one voice (I read some of it out loud to my fellow researcher A Pilgrim in Narnia when we were working at the Marion Wade Center, and I found it extremely beautiful and moving then; it was more so spoken by a variety of trained voices).
I had not seen what the most important theme is: Law vs. Grace. I was so busy looking out for CW's more common later themes (coinherence, the Two Ways, the City, the Sacred Object, etc.) that I missed this one. It's right at the heart of the action, and it is the character of Innocent the Abbot who speaks for Law, while Joachim the Priest and keeper of the Crown of Thorns speaks for grace. Each goes too far to the extreme end of his position, with Innocent speaking for the value of law in itself as an external restrain and Joachim permitting immoral actions in the name of freedom.
It also had not struck me how shockingly sexist and racist this play is—or at least, characters in the play are, which is not by any means the same thing.
After the reading, we had a long and thoughtful conversation about the play. My friends helped me think about the historical, theological, and dramaturgical aspects of Chapel. One pointed out that the conflict of law vs. grace between Innocent and Joachim somewhat resembles the Protestant vs. Catholic debates of the 16th century: an anachronism that would have interested someone of Williams's unifying nature. He wrote the East/West split of the Church out of his later Arthurian poetry, after all, and would have been interested in exploring theological debates in a localized, non-historical setting.
We discussed Universalism, and Andrew MacD asked whether CW knew the writings of George MacDonald by 1912. I believe that he did, but have no evidence that he knew MacDonald's sermons. Yet a tendency towards Universalism runs through CW's works all his life, even while he writes such a chilling account of damnation as Descent Into Hell. (On this topic, see Richard Sturch's essay about "CW as Heretic" in the Charles Williams Quarterly).
There were two big topics we spent most of our time discussing.
First: Who wins? What is the conclusion of the many conflicts—between Joachim and Innocent, Constantine and Innocent, Amael and Innocent, Michael and Joachim, Gregory and Joachim….? And, asking the same thing another way: Which character speaks for the author (if any)? Does anybody in this play speak for Williams?
There are ways in which Joachim seems to win, by choosing defeat and exile rather than being forced into them. Yet he only does so once all material support has been withdrawn. Innocent gets what he wants, but at the end of the play, Theodoric is hatching plans to take down Innocent in future. Gregory is the easiest to sympathize with, and gets what he wants: for himself and his villagers to be left alone. Amael certainly gets what he wants in the most dramatic visual way. He is darkly manipulative, and sees that everyone else is to there be outmatched. He gets some of the most beautiful poetry, and is in a way a forerunner of Taliessin, the hero bard of CW's later Arthurian poetry.
The play ends (or almost ends) in indeterminacy: with monks chanting a Christian hymn in Latin on one side of the stage, the villagers singing a pagan folk-song on the other, and Amael declaiming a tale of his hero Druhild inside the abandoned chapel. Does this ambiguity speak for Williams?
But a simple village woman gets the last word. And her last line is: "Mary, Mother of God, be pitiful." Does she speak for Williams?
Or, as was suggested in the course of our conversation, do the questions themselves speak for Williams? I have speculated before that in 1912 Williams may have been going through something like a crisis of faith or a period of deep questioning before he committed himself thoroughly to the Christian religion. (He may have experienced a different kind of questioning while he was in the Fellowship of the Rosy Cross later, from 1917-1927). In this play and in The Silver Stair, published the same year Chapel was written (sorry, folks from last night; I misspoke on that point!), he is asking lots of questions about the right things to believe and the right way to live. Maybe none of the characters speak for Williams, or all of them do, and he is playing with all the philosophies, trying them on.
He was also, of course, figuring out the right way for him to write—which led us into our final question: Is this play performable?
I hadn't really thought so. I found it a bit dry and boring when I read it on the page. But the conclusion of the group last night was: It is playable! It would work on stage!
Sure, it's in verse. There is not an enormous amount of external action (although there is a lot of shouting). The sentences are too long. There are too many characters standing around without saying anything while one or two ramble on. The long speeches are hard to listen to. All this makes me think CW never heard this read aloud. There is certainly a great improvement between this play in 1912 and his "Masques of Amen House" from the mid '20s. Those have shorter lines, shorter sentences, more punchy dialogue, lots more vivid action.
But still, Chapel is playable. It takes the viewer on a roller-coaster ride of character arcs, as it is very plot- and character-driven. The sound of the sea always in the background would add depth to a live performance. The weaving in and out of characters keeps one's attention and drives the motion forward from one inner motivation to another. It is somewhat similar to Julius Caesar or Oedipus Rex with the small casts of characters fighting internal battles, with betrayals and self-revelation. In this case, the religious debate is the focus of the drama. In the first act, the characters are more static but their motivations are gradually being revealed through monologue and dialogue. In the second act, the elements become more chaotic, building to a tempest of speech and song at the end. Finally, all becomes bright and quiet at the end.
Some said this play would work as a movie: that it is "filmable." The long speeches could be given more significance and interest through the addition of pan-and-zoom, bringing the audience closer for the most fraught lines, showing background and context when necessary, using light and motion to enhance the meaning of the poetry.
We thought maybe it could work really well on stage if it were staged as a Masque, with gorgeous sets, elaborate costumes, lots of music, choreography, visual interest, royal and ceremonial robes, and symbolic colors. Amael should sing more of his lines, as he is a bard. Its climax, after all, is a religious processional. So the whole action and vision could build up to the majestic glory of that final scene. Then the last conflict between the groups would appear as a clarification, a narrowing of the chaos. At the last moment, cut off the singing before the last lines so that the Woman speaks her prayer to Mary in the sudden silence.
I wish you had been there last night. I think you would have walked away with a happy head full of poetry and lofty ideas. Keep your eyes open for The Chapel of the Thorn in a bookstore and online when it's finally published!

I should also add that I wouldn't do a basement if the site conditions make it impractical. The most determining factor being a high water table, or there being any chance of it becoming an indoor swimming pool from persistent, heavy rain.
Yeah, I had a house with a sump pump once that would leak. I'm thinking no basement but a reinforced room for the tornado sirens. Wonder what those cost...

I've owned two houses with walk out basements that never leaked. The right slope does the trick. Possibly cheating since its really like half a basement.

Feeling lucky?
I looked into some more because I'm also considering building a house in Connecticut. The requirement for any foundation is that it goes below the frost line (the lowest point at which water freezes). If that ends up being several feet, then the logical thing to do for most people is turn that foundation into a basement. Going any deeper than the frost line can be cost prohibitive. That's why basements are typically partially underground in the north east.
But if you don't have a frost line, then a slab is the more cost effective solution. That why slabs are common in the south.
Thanks again.

Alright, maybe that isn't exactly how T.S. Eliot phrased it, but it works for me. I am graduating in three days. And I'm skipping the last day of my college career. Isn't that delicious? But really, the whole thing does seem a bit, well, anti-climactic. I won't actually walk for my diploma until May (which I'm happy about…I want to walk with my class), so there's not really an event to make me feel like this transition is actually real. I feel like I'm just telling myself I'm graduating…like it's this big practical joke I'm playing on my psyche. Well, it's no joke, psyche! You're actually graduating and you're actually entering a master's program! It feels good to finish this degree well, and my J-term class (Dead Sea Scrolls) has been challenging while not being stressful. It's been a satisfying way to end. I know I've been writing a lot about grad school and graduation, but honestly, that's just been what's on my mind lately. I'll branch out to other topics soon, I promise.
Month: January 2010
To Myself
Did you really think you could slip in and out of grief
Like a pair of worn house-slippers?
Did you think that you could truly understand
the loss of a child, the loss of a mother?
No, far more dangerous than your presumption
Is the subconscious thought that if you wrote about it,
you could contain it.
That you could ward away loss and pain
by trapping it in ink
and binding it in a book.
Foolish, foolish girl.
And even as you write this, do you begin to think
that you finally understand sorrow?
Now that what you wrote about so confidently
actually happened to your friend?
You will not know the depths of heartache
Until it is your baby, your mother.
Then you will have no words to write
No smooth alliterations, or elegant turns of phrase.
The grief will choke you, smother you,
clasp it's icy hands over your mouth
And you will not write.
Aaron, if you are reading this at some point, I am so sorry.
A sweet surprise
Today I received a large envelope in the mail. The address and beautiful handwriting belonged to my friend, Bree. However, when I opened it, I found out that it was also from my roommate, Maria (Bree's sister). She is in Paraguay this month, and I am graduating from college in a couple days. It disappointed me that she wouldn't be here for that, even though it's not like there's an actual event that she's missing. Anyway, she arranged for many of my close friends to write me letters of congratulation and then had Bree send them all together now, during the final days of my college career. I'm not sure I can explain just how much that means to me. Maria knows how important words are to me, how much I value what my friends say to me in encouragement. I read through all of the letters at once, laughing and crying in turns. What a joy to hear from the people I love so much! What good memories came to mind! Maria's thoughtfulness, and all of my friends' kind words, completely made my day. I just keep smiling whenever I think about those letters, waiting for me with support whenever I need it.
Thank you, my dear, dear friend.
I could walk away.
As I near the end of my undergrad degree, I sometimes panic and find myself thinking, "Why, oh WHY, did I sign up for even more school?!" I know the answer is, "Because I want to be a professor and no one will listen to me if I don't go to school longer than them." Another answer is, "Because I like to learn, and a good place to do that is at school." Still another answer: "Because if I become a professor, I will get to have summer, winter, fall, and spring breaks for the rest of my life!" At times, this final answer is the most compelling. But in those moments of panic when I feel trapped–when I feel as though I am locked into a car, my foot is on the pedal, and the accelerator is stuck–I remind myself that I can walk away from all of this. I can. If at any time I absolutely hate grad school, I can leave. No one is keeping me here. No one can pressure me to do this–not my parents, not my professors, not my friends. I am doing this because deep down, I really do want to. And if that should change for some reason, I am free to go and move on with my life. So here's to choosing, as each new day comes, to stay.
Growing Up
Hello readers,
For many years now, I have used a blog on xanga to write out my thoughts. As I transition from college to graduate school, I feel it is the perfect time to transition to a more…sophisticated blog site. And hopefully, in keeping with this switch, you will be dazzled by my elegant, insightful, and classy thoughts, recorded here for your perusal. Cross your fingers, friends. But really, my purpose for this blog is to display some of my creative writing (when I allow myself the pleasure of writing for fun and not for class), to discuss thoughts on life and the changes that necessarily accompany growth, and perhaps to tell a few of my memories from traveling throughout Europe. I also love great literature and music, so they will almost certainly show up on this blog from time to time.
More will follow shortly. Until then, thanks for reading. This should be fun!

Hey Comics — Kids! Episode 22: Godzilla!
Be sure to visit our Patreon page! (patreon.com/heycomicskids )
With the announcement that Toho Studios is working on the first Godzilla movie since 2004's Godzilla: Final Wars, we talk about everything 'Zilla. We wonder if it will be as good as last year's Godzilla movie released by Warner Bros — or better. And we list some of our favorite monsters who have fought against and alongside the Big G.
Show notes
I think I had it exactly backwards. The Toho Godzilla movie is slated for 2016, and the Warner Bros sequel to its Godzilla franchise is planned for 2018.
I've had a lifelong fascination with Godzilla. This Evil Inc blog post recaps some memorable cameos of the monster in my comics.
In 2000, on the eve of Toho's Godzilla: 2000, the Philadelphia Daily News published this commemorative poster of Godzilla that I created. It includes a filmography, trivia, monsters and more.
Interested in that Godzilla video game we mentioned? It's right here: Godzilla Unleashed – Nintendo Wii
We never did get around to discussing our favorite Christmas movie, so I know what we'll be talking about tomorrow!
Support us on Patreon — the money will be sent to an account earmarked for the boys' education.

It's often hard to follow up a good image with something the day after. I feel like the best I can do at the moment is every other image being something I can be fairly proud of. I migrated all my images from iCloud where I was running out of space to Google Photos so that I could set my iCloud for my portfolio pieces. There's a bunch of images of when I started drawing in November which gives me encouragement. I feel like I have learned lots since I started, but the journey has just begun.

Suburb Filtering
You can limit the results from the Search endpoint (see Search for details) to those within a set of suburbs using the
suburb parameter.
For example, to search for restaurants located only within the suburb Fitzroy Victoria, you could use the following URL:
http://api.sensis.com.au/v1/test/search?query=restaurants&suburb=Fitzroy Victoria&key=...
You can specify a number of different suburbs by repeating the parameter:
Results will only include listings with an address located in either of the specified suburbs.
If more than one suburb is given, and one of those is invalid (for example, if miss-spelt) a validation warning will be displayed and that suburb will not be included in the filter. If none of the given suburbs are valid, the search will return no results.

It certainly seems like a good time to be a British actor in Hollywood at the moment. Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Colin Firth, Daniel Craig, the list of superstars born and raised in the British Isles is becoming bigger and bigger. Not since the 1960's has there been a larger representation of British talent on American soil and, listening to the murmurs around Hollywood, it doesn't look likely to stop in the near future. So who is next to join the illustrious list of British A-Listers? Having been recently tipped as the latest young Brit set to invade Hollywoods 'A list', it seems only fair that I give today's interviewee the chance to stake his claim. "Wow no, definitely not me. Not yet. I have a lot of work to do first."
Tom Conlan, despite distancing himself from the suggestion, is certainly on the right path. A stellar career as a dancer took him all around Europe and into the West End in London before his acting career started taking off and Hollywood was calling. So why did he move from stage to screen? "It was a decision that I mulled over for a long time. I had to ask myself some tough questions about why I wanted to do this. Was I really passionate or was part of the allure of becoming an actor narcissistic display? I wanted to be sure that there was a lot more to it than that. Because if that was the case then I wouldn't last five minutes and it would be a complete waste of time. It was a question that I had to ask but I convinced myself to go for it. I have a big love for the craft of acting, I would not have taken the leap if I was not hugely passionate about the art form."
There has certainly been a scrap for his signature, with management companies in Hollywood seemingly falling over themselves to represent him. "I'm not sure about that. It was certainly hard work at first, trying to get myself out there. But I am delighted with how it has worked out." The race was finally won by Tim Taylor at Luber Roklin Entertainment, a company with no shortage of star clients who represented the late Paul Walker. "I was delighted, Tim is fantastic and hopefully everything will work out well. There are so many amazing things happening in Hollywood at the moment. It is an exciting time for me".
This is a young man with his feet firmly on the ground, but his startling charisma leaves me reminded of another non American actor, Chris Hemsworth who played Thor. "Chris played a Brit in his last movie 'Rush' but he is actually from Australia. I have been told that quite a lot recently for some reason. it must be the long hair and blond stubble. It is definitely not the body, I need to hit the gym a bit more before I end up looking like Chris". So do you see yourself playing some kind of super hero in the future? "I wouldn't rule anything out. At this stage of my career I just want to work with talented people and continue to learn as much as I can from every job I do. I will see where that takes me". The British Invasion, it seems, is set to continue. With Tom Conlan leading the pack!

THE finest musical talent in the North-east is set entertain thousands of visitors flocking to the Midsummer Beer Happening in Stonehaven next week.
As well as being a three-day celebration of the craft of brewing, the Happening aims to showcase great acts from around the North-east to provide cool tunes – from funk and ska to folk and rock and even up-and-coming singer-songwriters - to go with the cold beers.
The line-up for the second Happening, which runs in the town's Baird Park from Thursday, June 16, to Saturday, June 18, includes some fantastic acts returning and some new, exciting additions, said the festival's production manager, Stevie Kearney.
He said: "This year's line-up is perfect for a beer festival – people will really enjoy it without it taking over and feeling like a music festival.
"We felt the line-up worked well last year so we wanted to keep all the best bits and try and make a few tweaks here and there where we felt we could improve to create an even better atmosphere in the festival's magnificent purpose-built marquee."
With enthusiastic backing from the BBC's Craig Charles and Tom Morton, The Oxbow Lake Band headline the Friday night and will play for an hour and a half, thrilling festival-goers with their blend of mod-inspired funk, soul and ska, proving a huge coup for the organisers and a definite draw for music fans.
Other new additions this year include singer-songwriter Jo McCafferty, who has previously toured with famous acts such as Midge Ure and Marillon, while Aberdeen favourites The Inevitable Teaspoons also add to the line-up.
Last year's mix of original songs and popular covers proved a big hit and favourites such as Richard Hannay and the 39 Steps will return, along with Further On, Red Dawg and Voodoo Vibe.
The Saturday afternoon will include the return of the Aberdeen Ukes, who provided a huge range of popular songs via ukulele at the event last year.
The Happening is a not-for-profit event run by volunteers and proceeds are donated to local charities, working in Stonehaven.
Stevie said: "The musicians all play for free in order to help the causes we support and we're hugely appreciative of their efforts.
"It really adds a lot to the event in terms of making a brilliant atmosphere and their time and energy really help this vitally important fundraising effort".
The festival will boast 140 of the finest craft ales, real ales and Belgian beers and also street food offered by some of the finest local producers in the Northeast, and a great day is in store.

Strong, lightweight plastics are amazing materials that contribute to sustainability by helping to reduce energy use, waste and greenhouse gas emissions. But when plastics end up as ocean litter, their full sustainability benefits aren't realized. No one wants to see trash of any kind in our environment. Plastics makers realize that ocean litter is a major, global problem and are committed to providing solutions. That's why we're pleased to partner in the global release of the Ocean Conservancy's Stemming the Tide: Land-based strategies for a plastic-free ocean, a first-of-its-kind analysis conducted with the McKinsey Center for Business and Environment, that evaluates specific land-based solutions for plastic waste in the ocean.
Pinpointing the Origins of Waste
Recent research by Dr. Jenna Jembeck published in Science Magazine estimated that roughly 8 million tons of plastic enters the ocean each year and that 57% of it originates in five countries (China, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand). These are rapidly developing economies (a good thing!) in areas where waste management infrastructure hasn't yet caught up to a growing population's ability to consume more goods. Similar factors could easily give rise to these conditions in other regions (e.g., Brazil, India or countries in Africa). Stemming the Tide builds on these findings by highlighting solutions to contain waste—in essence to stop the "leakage" at the source. Solutions like, containing landfill waste, stopping illegal dumping, increasing recycling, and incorporating energy recovery technologies, such as gasification and pyrolysis, are featured as possibilities for change. From the plastics industry's perspective, Stemming the Tide is a welcome resource that helps us understand and prioritize solutions.
Global Plastics Industry In Action
In fact ACC's Plastics Division has been working on solutions to marine debris for some time. In 2011 we developed and helped launch the Declaration of the Global Plastics Associations for Solutions on Marine Litter, which has been signed by over 60 companies in 34 countries—through which more than 185 projects have been planned, initiated, or completed. Some of our work in the United States includes providing recycling bins on beaches and in state parks, sponsoring marine debris research, promoting recycling and the recovery of energy from post-use plastics, and encouraging best practices for handling raw materials.
Working Together For Progress
In a video address released Wednesday, Catherine Novelli, Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment, acknowledged the important role that plastics play in our society today and, she also expressed confidence that by "working together we can create meaningful solutions" to keeping plastics out of our oceans. We couldn't agree more, and we're looking forward to taking the results of this data-driven work and putting the strategies into action. Please watch Under Secretary Novelli's complete address below and check out www.marinedebrissolutions.org for more on the plastics industry's work on ocean litter.

A hard lesson I would like to share with you.
When I did my site inspection a couple of weeks ago I was shocked to see a large number of bees floating in the rapid feeder. The lid was still on the feeder and the inner-cup was still on. But the lid of the feeder was slightly skew and at that time the crown board still had an open hole.
The bees had come-up from the crown board and climbed-up the exterior of the rapid feeder and entered the feeder through the slight gap in the skewed lid. The bees were attracted to the syrup and drowned in the process.
In this situation, it was a case of rescuing any bees I could and removing the feeder from the hive to dispose of the dead bodies and syrup. A new feeder replaced it later.
I have also had ants visit my feeder as well.
Moral of the story:
Once you have finished topping-up the rapid feeder be mindful to give the lid a firm push. Simple as that!

Animals for Awareness is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational facility devoted to exotic and wild animals in need. We hold and maintain a current USDA license as well as several Illinois Department of Conservation permits. Animals for Awareness is a 100% volunteer-run facility which takes in unwanted, abused, neglected or confiscated exotic animals and provides life long care for the permanent residents. We receive animals via zoo referrals, animal control, word of mouth, veterinarians, other shelters, police, and internet inquiries, to name a few sources. Some animals are only temporarily sheltered until a USDA facility more suited for the animal can be located to house them permanently. AFA will often have small domestic critters for adoption to suitable homes, but we do not adopt out or sell wild or exotic animals to the general public. We also do not receive any government funds or grants, and are supported 100% by the public. Although Animals for Awareness is based in Illinois, we have provided services to animals as far west as Oregon and as far east as Long Island, and including most states in between, north and south. No animal is ever turned away because of location, health, age or temperament! All animals receive check-ups and treatment regardless! In the rare instances we cannot help, we find the necessary help promptly. Animals for Awareness offers year-round educational programs that are tailored to suit just about any institution, organization or individual. Attendees learn about each animal present their natural histories as well as how they came to live with us. They learn about proper husbandry and natural behaviors of the animals, as well as why the animal does or does not make a suitable pet. Each program is different and strives to provide age appropriate information, from proper handling to species survival and everything in between. In addition, we offer information on the proper keeping of domestic animals. Small children learn lessons about what to do when confronted by a stray or wild animal. Our Pet Therapy programs offer a great deal of positive and uplifting interaction with the elderly, infirmed, and handicapped. We say: Teach well and the audience will hear. In addition to educational programs, Animals for Awareness reaches thousands more people through our printed brochures, website access, phone inquiries, and animal behavior modification assistance. Animals for Awareness also provides federal and state licensed rehabilitation to all native Illinois wildlife including deer and raptors. Approximately 100 animals per year benefit from this service. In the event that an animal is deemed unreleasable, we also have the licenses to permanently house the animal if a reasonable quality of life can be established.
Mission: The mission of Animals for Awareness is simple: PROTECTION THROUGH EDUCATION. We truly believe that by educating people about wild and exotic animals, we minimize the risk to and suffering of animals at the hands of people. While we acknowledge that responsible ownership of exotic and wild animals can be achieved by a select percentage of people, we target individuals who may not fall into that small percentage.

This project, after its starting one year ago, has accomplished all the objectives expected and, thanks of the support of the CDTI and the FEDER funds cofinanciation, we have been able to dedicate more resources to speed up the results achievement and thus, it has become an encouragin effect in our company.
The result of the fullfilment of the first year of this R&D project has been the development of a new wood coatings with a substantial reduction in combustion smokes. The "s" (smoke) factor has been reduced from s2 to s1 according with the Euroclass Fire Resistance Classification. These products are unique in the market and guarantee an improvement of the safety in habitable areas.
The objective of this project is to improve the air quality in habitable areas and, therefore we go on researching in this second year of the project to develop products with low emissions that fullfil the EN-ISO 16000 Classification.
This news has been published to accomplish the Annex XII, Section 2.2 of the 1303/2013 EU Regulation.

No treatment on the market has been proved to slow human aging--the buildup of molecular and cellular damage that increases vulnerability to infirmity as we grow older. But one intervention, consumption of a low-calorie yet nutritionally balanced diet, works incredibly well in a broad range of animals, increasing longevity and prolonging good health. Those findings suggest that calorie restriction could delay aging in humans, too.
Unfortunately, for maximum benefit, people would probably have to reduce their calorie intake by roughly 30 percent, equivalent to dropping from 2,500 calories a day to 1,750. Although a few hardy souls are currently attempting to do this, most mortals could not stick to that harsh a regimen, especially for years on end. But what if someone could create a pill that mimicked the physiological effects of eating less without actually forcing people to go hungry? Could such a calorie-restriction mimetic, as we call it, enable people to stay healthy longer, postponing age-related disorders (such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, heart disease and cancer) until very late in life?
We first posed this question in the mid-1990s, after we came upon a chemical agent that, in rodents, seemed to reproduce many of calorie restriction's benefits. Since then, we and others have been searching for a compound that would safely achieve the same feat in people. We have not succeeded yet, but our failures have been informative and have fanned hope that calorie-restriction, or CR, mimetics can indeed be developed eventually.
Our hunt for CR mimetics grew out of our desire to better understand calorie restriction's many effects on the body. Scientists first recognized the value of the practice more than 60 years ago, when they found that rats fed a low-calorie diet lived longer on average than free-feeding rats and had a reduced incidence of conditions that become increasingly common in old age. What is more, some of the treated animals survived longer than the oldest-living animals in the control group, which means that the maximum life span (the oldest attainable age), not merely the average life span, increased.
The rat findings have been replicated many times and extended to creatures ranging from yeast to fruit flies, worms, fish, spiders, mice and hamsters. Until fairly recently, the studies were limited to short-lived creatures genetically distant from humans. But a long-term study in dogs was published a couple of years ago to show that CR could be effective for our pets as well. A few long-term projects under way in a species more closely related to humans--the rhesus monkey--suggest that primates respond to calorie restriction almost identically to rodents, which makes us more optimistic than ever that CR mimetics could help people.
The monkey projects--initiated by our group at the National Institute on Aging in the late 1980s and by our colleagues at the University of WisconsinMadison in the early 1990s--demonstrate that, compared with control animals that eat normally, calorie-restricted monkeys have lower body temperatures and levels of the pancreatic hormone insulin, and as young adults they retain more youthful levels of certain hormones (such as DHEAS, or dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) that tend to fall with age.
The animals also look better on indicators of risk for age-related diseases. For example, they have lower blood pressure and triglyceride levels (signifying a decreased likelihood of heart disease), and they have more normal blood glucose levels (pointing to a reduced risk for diabetes, which is marked by unusually high blood glucose levels). They and the other monkeys must be followed still longer, however, before we will know whether low food intake can increase both average and maximum life spans in monkeys: rhesus monkeys typically live about 25 years and sometimes up to 40. Findings in primates bode well for the possibility that CR will have beneficial effects in humans. Indeed, we have demonstrated that biological hallmarks of CR, such as decreased insulin and body temperature and a slowed rate of decline in serum DHEAS levels, are associated with better survival in men from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging.
The Journey Starts
BY 1995 WE WANTED to know how the many physiological and biochemical changes induced by calorie restriction actually delayed aging in mammals. We suspected that changes in cellular metabolism would be key. By "metabolism" we mean the uptake of nutrients from the blood and their conversion to energy usable for cellular activities. We focused on metabolism in part because the benefits of calorie restriction clearly depend on reducing the overall amount or temporal pattern of fuel coming into the body for processing. Also, calorie restriction affects aging in a wide variety of tissues, which implies that it alters biological processes present in all cells. Few processes are more fundamental than metabolism.
We specifically wondered whether changes related to metabolism of the sugar glucose would account for CR's benefits. Glucose, which forms when the body digests carbohydrates, is the primary source of energy in the body.We also wanted to know whether alterations in the secretion and activity of insulin, which influences glucose use by cells, would be important. Insulin is secreted as glucose levels in the blood rise after a meal, and it serves as the key that opens cell "doors" to the sugar. We concentrated on glucose and insulin because reductions in their levels and increases in cellular sensitivity to insulin are among the most consistent hallmarks of calorie restriction in both rodents and primates, occurring very soon after restriction is begun.
Others began publishing data showing that metabolic processes involving glucose and insulin influence life span. For instance, several investigations achieved remarkable extensions of life span in nematode worms by mutating genes similar to those involved in molecular responses to insulin in mammals. More recently, researchers have found that lowered intake of glucose or disruption of glucose processing can extend life span in yeast.
An "Aha!" Moment
AROUND THE TIME the nematode work came out, we began to scour the scientific literature for ways to manipulate insulin secretion and sensitivity without causing diabetes or its opposite, hypoglycemia. Our search turned up studies from the 1940s and 1950s mentioning a compound called 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) that was being tested in rodents for treating cancer but that also reportedly lowered insulin levels in the blood. As we perused the literature further, we had a true "aha!" moment.
The compound apparently reproduced many classic responses to calorie restriction--among them reduced tumor growth, lowered temperature and elevated levels of glucocorticoid hormones. If 2DG really could mimic many aspects of calorie restriction in animals, we thought, perhaps it would do the same for people.
While we were planning our first studies of 2DG, we learned that 2DG worked by disrupting a key enzyme involved in processing glucose in cells. The compound structurally resembles glucose, so it enters cells readily. Initial metabolism of 2DG resembles that of glucose, but subsequent metabolism is inhibited such that glucose processing essentially chokes on the intermediate compound produced from 2DG [see box on page 64].
The net result is that cells make smaller amounts of glucose's by-products, just as occurs when calorie restriction limits the amount of glucose going into cells. In essence, 2DG tricks the cell into a metabolic state similar to that seen during calorie restriction, even though the body is taking in normal amounts of food. The "metabolic stress" produced by CR or a CR mimetic forces the cellular machinery to work harder to restore ATP to required levels. Studies have shown that the mitochondria actually proliferate in response to this demand and also operate more efficiently while producing fewer dangerous by-products of metabolism.
Why might more efficient functioning of the ATP-producing machinery help combat aging? We cannot say with certainty, but we have some ideas. A long-standing theory of aging blames the production of molecules called free radicals. The lion's share of free radicals in the body are emitted as the ATP-making machinery operates. Over time these highly reactive molecules are thought to cause permanent damage to various parts of cells, including the protein complexes that generate ATP. Thus, the metabolic stress produced in the cell by 2DG and calorie restriction slow the rate at which free radicals form and disrupt cells. 2DG may alter metabolism in another way by limiting insulin secretion and thereby minimizing insulin's unwanted actions in the body.
We also suspect that cells interpret reduced levels of raw materials for the ATP-making machinery as a signal that food supplies are scarce. Cells may well respond to that message by switching to a self-protective mode, inhibiting activities not needed for cell maintenance and repair--such as reproduction--and pouring most of their energy into preserving the integrity of their parts. If that idea is correct, it could explain why calorie restriction has been shown to increase production of substances that protect cells from excess heat and other stresses.
This adoption of a self-preservation mode would mirror changes that have been proposed to occur on an organismic level in times of food scarcity. In the generally accepted "disposable soma" theory of aging, Thomas Kirkwood of Newcastle University in England has proposed that organisms balance the need to procreate against the need to maintain the body, or soma. When resources are plentiful, organisms can afford both to maintain themselves and to grow and reproduce. But when food is limited, the body invokes processes that inhibit growth and reproduction and takes extra care to preserve the soma.
Recent research has indicated another potential pathway for mimicking CR. A National Institute on Aging study led by R. Michael Anson showed that a regimen of intermittent fasting--in which mice were allowed free access to food on alternating days--resulted in beneficial effects similar to those of calorie restriction, including reduced blood glucose and insulin levels and increased resistance of brain cells to toxic stress. Surprisingly, the food intake and body weight of these mice did not diverge substantially from control mice that had unlimited access to food. These data suggest that an absolute reduction in calorie intake may not underlie all of CR's effects; rather hormonal changes related to the stress of intermittent fasting may play an important role. CR and 2DG both induce this mild stress, as indicated by higher circulating levels of the stress hormone corticosterone. Many investigators now think that this mild stress conditions the organism to better withstand even more extreme stress.
Testing Begins
IN OUR FIRST experiments on 2DG's effectiveness, we delivered low doses to rats by adding it to their feed for six months. The treatment moderately reduced fasting blood glucose levels, body weight and temperature and robustly reduced fasting insulin levels--findings consistent with the actions of calorie restriction itself. Interestingly, after an initial adjustment to the novel diet, the 2DG group did not eat significantly less food than the controls. Thus, these exciting preliminary analyses revealed that it was possible to mimic at least some sequelae of calorie restriction without reducing food intake.
Shortly after we published these results, in 1998, other groups began identifying more ways that 2DG imitates calorie restriction, including reduced heart rate and increased resistance to stress and toxins. Subsequently we initiated a long-term study of rats on a diet supplemented with 2DG. The results confirmed our previous findings that 2DG slightly reduces blood glucose and body temperature. Contrary to our expectations, however, the 2DG diet in this experiment did not extend maximum life span. Animals treated with 2DG showed better survival for the first half of the life span, but maximum life span was not extended, because of cardiac toxicity.
The work so far clearly provides a "proof of concept" that inhibiting glucose metabolism can re-create many effects of calorie restriction. Regrettably, 2DG has a fatal flaw preventing it from being a magic pill. Though safe at certain low levels, it apparently becomes toxic for some animals when the amount delivered is raised just a bit or given over long periods. The narrowness of the safety zone separating helpful and toxic doses would bar it from human use. We hope this is not a general feature of CR mimetics.
Moving On
ASSUMING OUR long-term studies confirm that inhibiting metabolism can retard aging, the task becomes finding other substances that yield 2DG's benefits but are safer over a broader range of doses and delivery schedules. Several candidates seem promising in early studies, including iodoacetate, which inhibits cellular metabolism, as 2DG does, but through a different mechanism. Treatment with antidiabetic medications that enhance cellular sensitivity to insulin might be helpful as well, as long as the amounts given do not cause blood glucose levels to fall too low. Metformin (Glucophage), which has resulted in moderate life-span extension in preliminary animal experiments, has been suggested as a possible candidate in this category.
A great deal of research implicates glucose metabolism in regulating life span, yet other aspects of metabolism can also change in reaction to calorie restriction. When the body cannot extract enough energy from glucose in food, it may shift to breaking down protein and fat. Pharmaceuticals that target these processes might serve as CR mimetics, either alone or in combination with drugs that intervene in glucose metabolism. Some compounds that act in those pathways have already been identified, although researchers have not yet assessed their potential as CR mimetics.
Drugs that replicate only selected effects of calorie restriction could have a role to play as well. In theory, antioxidant vitamins might fit that bill. Research conducted to date, however, indicates that this particular intervention probably will not extend longevity. Resveratrol, an antioxidant found in grapes and red wine, affects certain genes (the sirtuins) that may be involved in CR, at least in lower animal models. Lipoic acid, another antioxidant, is currently being used in combination with acetyl-carnitine, a metabolic efficiency enhancer, to produce some antiaging effects. In fact, this "cocktail" is now commercially available. Several companies, including GeroScience, are pursuing various CR mimetic strategies.
Unlike the multitude of elixirs being touted as the latest antiaging cure, CR mimetics would alter fundamental processes that underlie aging. Many candidate mimetics, such as resveratrol, appear to work downstream in the sequence of events that elicit the antiaging effects of CR, although glycolytic inhibitors such as 2DG come closest to targeting the "causes," rather than the "symptoms" or pathologies, of aging.
To illustrate this important point, consider that average life span has increased from about 40 years in the early 1900s to about 80 years today while maximum life span has remained unchanged at about 122 years. Much, if not all, of the increase in average life span has resulted from improved health care and nutrition. Thus, to truly "mimic" CR and alter the fundamental biology of aging, candidate compounds must be shown to increase both maximum and average life span. The goal is to devise compounds that fool cells into activating maintenance and repair activities that lead to greater health and longevity of the organism. If scientists can develop agents that offer the benefits of 2DG without its drawbacks, they will finally enable people to have their cake--a longer, healthier life--and eat it, too.

In comparison to the more mature regions of Europe and North America, Asia's hedge fund industry is still developing. Major economic powerhouses in the region, such as Korea, India and China have only recently taken steps to encourage the operation of domestic hedge fund managers, and as such it is important for the numerous emerging or spin-off hedge fund managers in Asia to better understand where capital is likely to come from in the institutional marketplace.Preqin's Hedge Fund Investor Profiles database shows that 59.8% of institutional investors located in Asia-Pacific will invest in, or will consider investing in, emerging manages. For spin-off managers, this figure dips slightly to 57.4%, while 36.2% of Asia-Pacific based investors will also either seed or consider seeding new hedge funds. These numbers indicate that Asia-Pacific investors are slightly more open to investing with new hedge fund managers than their global counterparts. Fifty-six percent of investors globally will either invest in or consider investing in emerging managers, 53.7% will do the same for spin-off managers, while only 26% will either seed or consider seeding funds.Excluding funds of hedge funds, asset managers are the leading investors in emerging managers in Asia-Pacific, making up 11.8% of the investor pool. This is followed closely by superannuation funds (10.5%) and insurance companies (7.9%). For spin-off managers, insurance companies are the leading investors from Asia, making up 12.9% of the regional total. This is followed by superannuation funds (9.7%) and wealth managers (9.7%). Hedge fund managers looking for seed capital will find most favour with asset managers from the region, with this investor group representing 19% of the regional total. This is followed by investment companies and wealth managers, both responsible for 7.1% of Asia-Pacific-based investors that will seed hedge funds.Within Asia-Pacific, investors in emerging managers are most likely to originate from Australia (30.3% of the total), followed by Japan (27.6%) and Hong Kong (17.1%). For spin-off managers, the largest number of potential investors are based in Japan (30.6%), followed by Australia (24.2%) and Hong Kong (17.7%).As the development of the hedge fund industry in Asia-Pacific continues to gather pace, fund managers with a well thought out fundraising campaign will be able to hold a competitive edge in an increasingly crowded fundraising marketplace.

BBC Guidelines – Worthless
OK, it's just a brief post today instead of my usual Friday verbosity – because I'm watching the Holland game tonight.
I've been trying to find out more about why the BBC links to JABS and how they can justify doing so. Between my complaints to the ECU and my FOI requests, I've managed to get an initial opinion of a BBC employee that their linking to JABS would be "well within what is permissable in [their] guidelines". I am grateful to my correspondent for passing this on, but I am appalled that the BBC have issued guidelines on external linking that allow them to link to a site such as JABS that contains dangerously wrong information. If they can link to the views of HIV-denialist Doctors and laypersons who advise parents of infants to discontinue medical treatment and switch off baby monitors, then the BBC can link to anyone and, this being the case, there is no point having guidelines on external links in the first place. As a tenacious obsessive, I'm inclined not to let this go. I am still awaiting the outcome of my complaint to the ECU, but I don't expect to get the result I was hoping for. So what's next? Do I join the green ink brigade and start a letter-writing campaign in the style of John Stone or do I go for the sit-down protest outside Broadcasting House? You decide.
Why does the BBC link to JABS?
EDIT 7.45pm: I've noticed a perceptive comment on the Bad Science forum from DeeTee: "they [JABS] are a single issue action group, and not a support group. Why cannot the BBC realise this?" – which is something I should probably stress to the BBC next time I contact them.

BEIRUT, Dec 6 — The US intention to move its embassy to Jerusalem is a sign of its incompetence and failure, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said today, according to his official website.
US President Donald Trump is expected to announce on Wednesday that the United States recognises Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and will move its embassy there, breaking with longtime US policy and potentially stirring unrest.
"That they claim they want to announce Quds as the capital of occupied Palestine is because of their incompetence and failure," Khamenei said, using the Arabic name for Jerusalem.
Iran has long supported a number of Palestinian militant groups in their fight against Israel.
"On the issue of Palestine (US) hands are tied and they cannot advance their goals," Khamenei said.
He said Palestine would be "freed" and Palestinian people will be victorious.
He said the United States wanted to start a war in the region to protect the security of Israel.
"American government officials have said themselves that we have to start a war in the region to protect the security of the Zionist regime," Khamenei said. — Reuters
