Executive Producer Pam Barnes got it right when she picked her presenting team for The Circle.
"I guess the biggest surprise for me was how funny the girls are. When we chose them, we thought they all brought something unique. But how the chemistry was going to actually come together was something you don't know until you start," she says.
Denise Drysdale, Chrissie Swan, Yumi Stynes and Gorgi Coghlan had never met as a team until their first photo shoot. Within a week they would be filming daily test episodes of their new morning show for TEN. A week later they were on air. Even for a seasoned producer like Barnes, it would mean throwing everyone in the deep end.
"One of my big things was that I hate shows where people talk over each other. I said right from the start 'There will be no talking over each other' and they don't. Occasionally it will happen of course. But they just work it out between them. Initially we thought there might have to be signals, but it just doesn't require that," she told TV Tonight.
"They just have got to know each other and each other's timing or which way they will take things. They discuss it themselves beforehand, and obviously we have suggested questions and all that sort of thing.
"But we don't have to get in there and prompt them to go here or go there, they just naturally know how to do it. Producer's dream!"
Following on from 9AM with David and Kim, the show needed to build a brand around the revenue-raising advertorials whilst competing against Seven's Morning Show and Nine's Kerri-Anne. With the prospect of four chatty women, many had memories of a short-lived afternoon venture from Nine.
"In the beginning a lot of people said, 'Oh it's like The Catch-Up.' But it's actually nothing like The Catch-Up because we didn't cast for conflict. They probably went along the lines of The View more than we did. The only way we are like The View is that there are four women."
Barnes says the show has been performing better than 9AM did, and last week it scored a win over Kerri-Anne.
"It's very gratifying when you've only been on the air for four months. Some days we are catching Kerri-Anne in some markets. The Morning Show is still in the lead but they've got the Sunrise lead-in."
Feedback for the show is instant via emails, while older viewers still take the time to send in hand-written letters with messages of support.
"A huge part of our audience are people that are never going to have a ratings connection on their telly because people watch in their offices. We get a lot of feedback from those sort of areas," she says.
"There is a lady whose son had passed away three years ago and she's been pretty well been a hermit ever since. And then she found The Circle and now she watches us everyday and for the first time in three years she laughs. Isn't that beautiful?
"We just get the most wonderful emails from people saying how much they love it and how it makes them laugh. I think that they just get a joy out of it because the girls are so natural and they're funny and just sort of say what they think and I think it's quite refreshing."
The Circle has also been impressing overseas artists, says Barnes.
"Meatloaf said 'I love this show, when I come back, I wanna come on and host it.' And we said to the record company, 'Right did you hear that?'
There are also hopes to travel the show interstate sometime soon. Barnes says it was Head of Programming David Mott who endorsed the idea.
"I think we would want to go to Sydney first because it's the biggest market and we hope to do that before the year is out. 7pm got to do it and it paid off for them!" she says.
"So we just need to work on that in terms of getting some sponsorship, it's only money that's holding us back. But we will do it before the end of the year.
"The network want us to go and travel all around but it's just the logistics of taking all of these people that make it happen.
"You would have to do a week and that would mean taking everybody in the staff because everyone of them is integral to the production of the show."
Barnes has a formidable CV in producing including Logie Awards, The Einstein Factor, Australia's Got Talent, Bert's Family Feud, The Singing Bee and an extensive run on Hey Hey It's Saturday.
In taking the top job at The Circle did she give up the opportunity to continue with Hey Hey?
"I did the reunion shows which was appropriate for me, because I'd done 10 years of the show but I think to bring back Hey Hey it needed new mind sets, so I was happy to have another challenge and I just feel blessed this came along for me."
She also notes that while there are more women rising to Executive Producer level there are still inroads to be made in management levels within networks.
"There's a lot of women producers in television and I think more and more they're developing to the EP level," says Barnes.
"Women are quite well represented in the Production of things -in fact there's usually more females in actual Production. It's the next level (above) that there's a completely sad lack of women, in my humble opinion."
The Circle airs 10am – 12 pm weekdays on TEN.

Whitevale Street Public Baths & Washhouse:
A large predominantly two and three storey building complex. The west facing element is built of a high quality facing brick with red sandstone (ashlar) details at the windows and doors. This design style is repeated at the three storey east facing building at the opposite side of the complex, between a series of five north/south orientated pitched roofs which link the two end buildings and are faced on the north side by plan brick. To the south side of the complex a larger two storey plain red brick pitched roof structure encloses the southern elevation (demolished 2012). The entire complex was designed by A. B. McDonald and W. Sharp from the City Architects office.
The building formerly housed a swimming pool and turkish bath. It was closed in the 1980s and remained empty ever since sited in the shadow of the brutalist Whitevale and Bluevale twin towers (also earmarked for demolition). The building declined into a very poor condition, bricked up on the west elevation and effectively sealed, but on the east side through the upper level smashed windows view could be seen up and then through the rotted roof indicating a complete loss of watertightness at that end of the structures. The southern building was also in a very poor condition with parts of the roof missing with exposed trusses and clearly rotten.
In 2012 the southern part of the complex saw the emergency demolition of the large plain red brick building exposing the interior of the complex. These works are rumoured to be limited to essential works whilst preserving the main parts of the buildings so the buildings for now survive. The buildings are category B listed.

the contrast between the post war towers and the turn of the century Whitevale Baths, both constructed of the contemporary building materials of their time
the bulge of the central portion of the column known as entasis is to counteract the illusion that columns appear to slim at the centre if their sides are parallel. Hence the bulge counteracts this. Entasis can be seen as far back as ancient Greek times. Here its use is more the copying of a style rather than the recreation of this illusional effect.

The two storey plain building on the left of the photograph was dmeolished in 2012.
the end of the roof of the south elevation shows the advanced state of decay much of the building must be in. The roof covering is missing, with just weathered timber boarding warped, rotten and broken providing very limited protection. The wall has had a metal strip put on top of the skewto prevent the ingress of water into the wallhead. The rest of the roof will be letting huge amounts of water into the building below.

A root canal is the normally happening anatomic space within the origin of a tooth. It contains the pulp chamber (within the coronal part of the tooth), the major canal(s), as well as extra complex anatomical branches that might link the origin canals to every other or to the surface area of the origin.
At the facility of every tooth is a hollow area that houses soft cells, such as the nerve, blood vessels, and also connective tissue. This hollow location includes a reasonably large room in the coronal part of the tooth called the pulp chamber. These canals run with the facility of the origins, similar to the means pencil lead runs with a pencil. The pulp obtains nourishment through the blood vessels, and also sensory nerves lug signals back to the mind. A tooth can be relieved from discomfort if there is permanent damages to the pulp, via root canal treatment.
Root canal makeup is composed of the pulp chamber and also origin canals. Both consist of the dental pulp. The smaller sized branches, referred to as accessory canals, are most frequently found near the root end (apex) yet may be encountered anywhere along the root length. The total number of root canals per tooth depends upon the variety of tooth roots varying from one to four, five or more in many cases. Often there is even more than one root canal per origin. Some teeth have a more variable internal composition than others. An unusual root canal form, facility branching (especially the presence of horizontal branches), and also several root canals are taken into consideration as the main causes of root canal therapy failings. (e.g. If a secondary root canal goes undetected by the dentist as well as is unclean and also sealed, it will certainly stay infected, creating the root canal treatment to stop working).
The specific attributes and also complexity of the interior makeup of the teeth have been completely researched. Making use of a reproduction strategy on hundreds of teeth, Hess explained as very early as 1917 that the inner room of dental roots is usually an intricate system made up of a main location (origin canals with round, oval or uneven cross-sectional form) and also lateral components (fins, anastomoses, and accessory canals). In truth, this side element might stand for a fairly large quantity, which tests the cleansing phase of the instrumentation procedure because tissue remnants of the important or necrotic pulp in addition to infectious components are not easily gotten rid of in these locations. Thus, the photo of root canals having a smooth, conical form is generally also radical and underestimates the reach of root canal instrumentation.
The room inside the origin canals is full of a very vascularized, loose connective cells, called dental pulp. The dental pulp is the tissue of which the dentin section of the tooth is composed. The dental pulp assists the total development of the secondary teeth (grown-up teeth) one to 2 years after eruption into the mouth. The dental pulp likewise nourishes and also hydrates the tooth framework, making the tooth more resistant, much less breakable as well as much less vulnerable to crack from chewing hard foods. In addition, the dental pulp gives a hot and cool sensory function.
Origin canals providing an oblong cross-section are found in 50– 70% of root canals. Additionally, canals with a "tear-shaped" sample prevail when a single root has two canals (as occurs, as an example, with the additional mesial root seen with the lower molars), nuances that can be extra tough to appreciate on timeless radiographs. Current research studies have shown that usage of cone-down CT can spot accessory canals that would have been missed out on in 23% of cases, which can, consequently, lead to apical periodontitis. The upper molars, particularly, are inclined to have an occult device canal in almost half of patients.
Root canal is additionally a colloquial term for a dental operation, endodontic treatment, where the pulp is cleared out, the room decontaminated and after that loaded.
When rotating nickel-titanium (NiTi) files are used in canals with flat-oval or tear-shaped cross sections, a round bore is produced because of the rotational action of the metal. Likewise, little dental caries within the canal such as the buccal or linguistic recesses may not be instrumented within the tooth, potentially leaving recurring disease during sanitation.
Tissue or biofilm remnants along such un-instrumented recesses might lead to failing due to both poor sanitation and the failure to properly obturate the root-canal room. Consequently, the biofilm needs to be removed with a disinfectant throughout root canal treatment.
A dental implant (additionally called an endosseous implant or component) is a medical part that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or head to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, face prosthesis or to function as an orthodontic anchor. The basis for modern dental implants is a biologic procedure called osseointegration, in which products such as titanium create an intimate bond to bone. The implant fixture is first put to ensure that it is likely to osseointegrate, after that a dental prosthetic is included. A variable amount of recovery time is required for osseointegration prior to either the dental prosthetic (a tooth, bridge or denture) is affixed to the implant or a joint is put which will hold a dental prosthetic.

Why Lil Dicky made this star-studded Earth Day music video
"Earth" features about 30 of the biggest names in entertainment.
- Lil Dicky is a rapper and comedian who released his debut album in 2015.
- His new music video, "Earth," features artists such as Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheehan, Kevin Hart, and Leonardo DiCaprio.
- All proceeds of the music video will go to environmental causes, Dicky said.
Lil Dicky dropped a new Earth Day-themed music video today that's being called the "We Are the World" of the digital era, and it features about 30 of the biggest names in entertainment. But don't expect to see those artists in the video as themselves: The bulk of the 7-minute music video is sleekly animated, with artists cast as various animals: Justin Bieber is a baboon. Ariana Grande is a zebra. Ed Sheeran is a koala bear. You get the idea.
What's the joke-rapper's main goal?
"... to get people to give a shit about saving the Earth," Lil Dicky told Rolling Stone.
Dicky, who released his debut album in 2015, said his initial plan was to create a funny music video to raise money for environmental issues.
"It was always in my head that this was going to be something that helped raise money for environmental issues, but I didn't really know the facts," he told Rolling Stone. "I looked into it and was blown away. I didn't realize, remotely, that it was such an urgent, dire situation. I didn't know that we literally have 12 years to completely change how we do so many things on Earth, from a fundamental standpoint, or the damage will be irreversible and in our lifetimes we're going to experience such drastic impact. Upon realizing that, it went from a silly song about animals to, 'Oh my God, this is the most important thing I'll ever do.'"
"Earth" starts out in the real world, showing a group of children bullying a kid and toppling over a trash can. Dicky appears on the scene, and starts getting trash-talked by the much younger kids. As Dicky walks away, the kids follow, but one kid stays behind and notices that a mysteriously old-looking book had fallen out of the trashcan. When he opens it, he's transported into a magical animated world where Dicky plays a sort of everyman-caveman who soars across the planet, encountering various animals who spout off jokes in-sync to the music, like:
"Hi! I'm a baboon. I'm like a man, just less advanced, and my anus is huge!"
The video then takes a somewhat unexpected turn, as caveman-Dicky starts touring the modern world's countries and continents, injecting some sociopolitical commentary on top of the Earth Day stuff:
"These days it's like we don't know how to act, all these shootings, pollution, we under attack, on ourselves. Like, let's all just chill, respect what we built."
But "Earth" eventually gets around to its key message: We've got to do something soon about climate change.
"There are so many people out there who don't think global warming is a real thing. You know? We gotta save this planet. We're being stupid!" Dicky sings.
In an interview with Ellen Degeneres, Dicky, whose real name is David Burd, said the proceeds from the music video will go environmental organizations, and that Leonardo DiCaprio's environmental foundation will consult him on where the proceeds would best be invested.
"You, too, are in denial."
Dicky's video ends with the message that it's stupid not to believe in climate change. But some take that idea a step further, as seen a recent piece from David Wallace-Wells, a climate columnist at New York Magazine, titled: "You, Too, Are in Denial of Climate Change." Wallace-Wells argues that inaction about climate change is tantamount to denial, and that "simple belief in climate change is not enough to move the needle." According to the columnist:
". . . it should not be surprising that, even in many of the world's most progressive places, even in the moment of acknowledged environmental crisis, a sort of climate NIMBYism prevails. The cost of inaction is sort of unthinkable — annual deadly heat waves and widespread famine, tens of millions of climate refugees, global coastal flooding, and disasters that will cost double the world's present-day wealth. And so we choose, most of the time, not to think about it. This is denial, too, whatever you check on a survey about whether you 'believe' the climate is changing."
The origins of Earth Day
The U.S. has celebrated Earth Day since 1970, and, while it's not considered a federal holiday, the annual event has helped raise awareness and millions of dollars for environmental causes over the decades. What some may not realize is that Earth Day was born out of an ugly natural disaster: The Santa Barbara Oil Spill of 1969.
Ranked as the worst oil spill at the time, the spill resulted in some 100,000 barrels of crude oil being dumped into the waters off the coast near Santa Barbara, California. It's estimated that the disaster killed about 3,500 sea birds, as well as an unknown amount of dolphins, sea lions and elephant seals. The spill sparked widespread media coverage and public outrage, all of which put pressure on lawmakers to draft legislation that went on to support the nation's modern environmental movement.
American education: It's colleges, not college students, that are failing
Who is to blame for the U.S.'s dismal college graduation rate? "Radical" educator Dennis Littky has a hunch.
- COVID-19 has magnified the challenges that underserved communities face with regard to higher education, such as widening social inequality and sky-high tuition.
- At College Unbound, where I am president, we get to know students individually to understand what motivates them, so they can build a curriculum based on goals they want to achieve.
- My teaching mantra: Everything is permitted during COVID-19. Everything is permitted during COVID-19. Everything is permitted during COVID-19.
The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle may finally be solved
Meteorologists propose a stunning new explanation for the mysterious events in the Bermuda Triangle.
One of life's great mysteries, the Bermuda Triangle might have finally found an explanation. This strange region, that lies in the North Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda, Miami and San Juan, Puerto Rico, has been the presumed cause of dozens and dozens of mind-boggling disappearances of ships and planes.

May Day Bank Holiday Premier League Results Round-Up
Teams have now played either 35 or 36 games and that extra game is never more important than at this time of the season. The relegation battle is so open that mathematically, although highly unlikely, third from bottom Wigan can finish on more points than 9th placed Swansea. Realistically I think any team on 40 points or more can finally exhale, but that still leaves five teams scrapping desperately to avoid the dreaded drop.
Equally at the top of the table there are still three teams fighting with as much passion and tension for the two remaining Champions League qualification spots. With new financial rewards though, every position is being fought for intently, and this was perhaps reflected in the lack of goals we saw over the bank holiday weekend. Only four games saw more than one goal, showing an understandable fear of venturing forward too carelessly.
Chelsea beat Manchester United in a game that seemed to spark in to life with only minutes left. United showed the lack of drive that could be expected having already been crowned champions and Chelsea seemed jaded from a long and arduous season. The Blues kept themselves in third thanks to a late Juan Mata goal despite their closest rivals Arsenal and Tottenham winning by the same slender margin. Arsenal beat QPR thanks to Theo Walcott's goal after only 25 seconds and Spurs were once again hauled out of jail by a Bale wonder goal late in their game against Southampton. Chelsea and Spurs meet at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday to play the game in hand they currently hold over Arsenal, a game that many feel will decide the fate of at least two of the three teams.
Manchester City travelled to Swansea and played out a goalless draw as did Newcastle at West Ham. While Swansea and West Ham are now safe, their opponents will now be looking over their shoulders after losing two valuable points. City will not want to lose second place to Chelsea and Newcastle are teetering precariously above the drop zone. They currently sit just three points and one place above Wigan after the Latics thrilling victory over West Brom, with Sunderland's draw over Stoke moving them up to 15th thanks to a superior goal difference.
The other teams in the relegation fight were Aston Villa, Norwich City and Southampton. Villa will now feel safe as they beat Norwich to reach the hallowed 40 point mark and Southampton aren't looking quite as safe as they did last week with only four points separating them with Wigan, who have played one less game.
Already relegated Reading appeared to play with the freedom that has eluded them all season with a cracking win over Fulham and the Merseyside derby, although closely contested, wasn't the fiery encounter we have all come to expect. Everton and Liverpool had to make do with a point each leaving the Toffees mathematically out of the hunt for Champions League qualification.
Bank Holiday Weekend Results in full:
Fulham 2 – 4 Reading
Norwich City 1 – 2 Aston Villa
Swansea 0 – 0 Manchester City
West Bromwich Albion 2 – 3 Wigan Athletic
West Ham United 0 – 0 Newcastle United
Tottenham Hotspur 1 – 0 Southampton
Queens Park Rangers 0 – 1 Arsenal
Liverpool 0 – 0 Everton
Manchester United 0 – 1 Chelsea
Sunderland 1 – 1 Stoke City

The trash-talked coaxial cable that ribbons America's streets and neighborhoods for cable TV has a new life.
Comcast, Intel, and the industry consortium Cable Labs have developed internet speeds that could allow someone to stream 2,000 Netflix movies into their home at one time.
And while they predict their speed will blow away wireless firms' heavily marketed 5G coming this year, cable executives maintain that the two services would be complementary — cable for the WiFi-connected home and 5G for mobile.
Company officials say 10 gigabit-per-second speeds over the internet will be "field tested" in two years and ready for millions of consumer homes by the mid-2020s on the existing cable network, with tweaks and new modems.
"The common question is: 'What is a consumer going to do with 10G today?'" said Phil McKinney, Cable Labs chief executive officer. "In reality, nothing."
McKinney added that no one anticipated YouTube or Netflix until high-speed streaming became available over the internet.
Comcast, one of the nation's largest internet providers, and Intel say that the 10G speeds could lead to "immersive experiences" and connect dozens of devices over WiFi. Homes will have 50 WiFi-connected tablets, laptops, smart phones, and home-automation gadgets by the early 2020s, according to industry estimates.
Company officials say that 10G could be used for derivatives of virtual reality, esports, or streaming the images of 40 cameras or more simultaneously over the internet.
Comcast and Intel announced 10G at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Monday night. Comcast expects to field test the 10G speeds in 2020 and deploy it within a few years to homes. Some of the Comcast technology is expected to be developed in Philadelphia.
"We don't have to dig up streets and we don't have to dig up yards," said Tony Werner, president of technology and product experience in Comcast's cable division, in a phone conversation on Monday. He said that Xfinity internet customers would need a new modem.
But other than that, Comcast's basic network infrastructure, a hybrid of fiber lines and coaxial cable, would be used for what the industry is marketing as 10G. The 10G speeds can be attained through super-high-fast digital processing and coding, Werner said. Fiber is light-based, and coaxial is electric-based.
McKinney said that the existing cable network would support 10G speeds on the internet "without needing to invent anything."
Kevin Werbach, a Wharton legal studies professor with an expertise in internet and telecommunications, said on Tuesday that the cable companies could theoretically upgrade the network to 10G. "But how much of this is marketing and how quickly consumers will see this is an open question."
McKinney noted that "a lot of people have written off coaxial cable but it is extremely efficient when moving large amounts of data."
Through the last 10 or 15 years, Verizon and others have said that light-based fiber telecom lines were the only future for high-speed internet and would kill cable's coaxial lines. Verizon pumped billions of dollars into fiber-to-the-home and marketed the service as Verizon Fios. But cable companies continued to boost speeds over the coaxial lines and competed with fiber, though it was never clear how fast cable could make its coaxial and fiber network go.
Verizon has basically halted the build-out of Verizon Fios and sold off large parts of its land-based infrastructure, except for areas in the northeastern United States, including the Philadelphia area.
Verizon, AT&T, and other wireless companies now promoted 5G service for smart phones as the next new thing. This 5G stands for "fifth-generation" wireless services and not the bit speed itself of the service. Verizon's 5G service is expected to range between 300 megabits per second and 1 gigabit per second, or one-10th the speed of what the cable firms are promising.

PHILADELPHIA — Josh Perelman stands reverently above a glass-covered display case at the center of a handsome room with dark red walls trimmed in sturdy oak, and gestures toward the document inside.
It's a letter written by George Washington to a Jewish congregation in Newport, R.I., after that state became the last of the original 13 colonies to ratify the Constitution but before the Bill of Rights would institutionalize the freedom of religion.
The new United States would boast "a Government which to bigotry gives no sanction, to persecution no assistance," Washington promised.
Perelman is curator of the National Museum of American Jewish History, across the street from Independence Hall, which speaks to the history of one immigrant group on whom attacks have escalated and whose stories hold parallels to those of current-day asylum seekers being thwarted in their hopes for new lives in America.
Developments like those have given this letter, and the exhibits around it, renewed meaning, and museums new responsibility and purpose, at a time when the very history and science at the center of their missions is being challenged.
"What museums can do is bring people into contact, face to face, with the material culture of history and to bear witness to the values that bind us together as a nation — even if we disagree," says Perelman.
Many museums say their response to this skeptical age is simple: to continue to objectively present the facts.
"There's not really great value in telling people they're wrong. We give them the information so they can decide for themselves," said the Jewish museum's director, Ivy Barsky. "I don't think we expect to make a neo-Nazi into a philo-semite, but we try to make a dent in the universe and maybe get people to understand a little better."
After all, she said, people who don't understand history are doomed to repeat it.
"We want to make sure as historians that we are mindful of some of these historical parallels and present them — that there are some things we've seen before," said Barsky. "We want to help our visitors build these bridges so the past becomes a meaningful tool for understanding the present."
Convincing skeptics of, for example, the reality of global warming — which will be a theme of the updated fossil hall in the National Museum of Natural History when it reopens in June — requires showing them the process through which scientists determined it was real, said David Skorton, who as secretary of the Smithsonian Institution oversees that and 18 other museums and galleries.
"What I've always found the most effective is to take people on a journey in which you can show the march of discovery toward any of the many things we take for granted now," said Skorton, a medical doctor and the former president of Cornell.
"The evidence for climate change and for human contribution to global warming is so overwhelming that I'm convinced it's accurate. The vast majority of scientists are convinced it's accurate. But just telling people you need to believe it because we say it's true is not the way to persuade them."
Some museums are increasingly taking an activist role, even if it's comparatively subtle and polite.
The Jewish museum, for instance, prompts visitors to record their own reflections in response to questions such as "Should America limit who can legally immigrate to this country?" and "Is hate speech contagious?"
The Eastern State Penitentiary, also in Philadelphia, does more than expose its guests to the crumbling cellblocks that once held the likes of Al Capone; a display in the prison courtyard illustrates the dramatic explosion of incarceration rates since 1970 in the United States, where 2.2 million people are now behind bars, including a disproportionate number of blacks and Hispanics.
After the Ferguson shooting, the National Museum of African American History and Culture began a series of programs about social justice. The National Museum of the American Indian and National Museum of African Art teamed up on an exhibit about stereotypes in American culture called "From Tarzan to Tonto." The Andy Warhol Museum used the artist's depiction of guns to encourage a conversation about them. The National Building Museum mounted an exhibit about eviction. And the Newseum has updated its news history gallery to include information about digital disruption, fake news, and the mass shooting at the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Md.
"Just as we left in the 19th century the idea of a truly objective historian, some museums are walking away from the sense of absolute objectivity," said Laura Schiavo, head of the Museum Studies Program at George Washington University. "I would hope that museums would take that responsibility seriously and not hide behind [the idea that] 'We just present the facts.' Because museums have never just presented the facts. They're also places of interpretation."
The Field Museum in Chicago has been among the busiest on this front. It was a lead sponsor of that city's March for Science, invited visitors to a Speak Up for Science event at which they could meet scientists and send postcards in support of science to the Environmental Protection Agency and National Science Foundation, and held a Day of Facts.
"It is utterly bizarre" that a science museum in the 21st century is compelled to stage a Day of Facts, the Field's president, Richard Lariviere, said in a tone of exasperation. "Who's not in favor of science, like motherhood and apple pie?"
The museum is careful to stay neutral and nonpartisan, however, said Lariviere, the former president of the University of Oregon. When one visitor recorded herself debunking its exhibits about evolution ("These are just guesses off the top of their heads"), the video went viral on YouTube. Yet while the YouTuber was derided by many critics — she herself later said they made her out to be the Nut at the Museum — the Field decided after long deliberation not to respond.
"Boy, is it hard," said Lariviere. "Because if two plus two equals four and someone is advocating for something other than four, it's really hard to not say, 'Are you nuts?' But you can't do that, because the moment you do that you fall into the partisan divide."
He said: "We have this huge obligation, because the public trusts us. We've got to really be careful to maintain that trust."
Museums are, in fact, the beneficiaries of great good will. At a time when only the police, the military, and small business scored above 50 percent in a Gallup poll of how many Americans trust each of 14 institutions, a survey by the research firm Reach Advisors found that museums are considered the most trustworthy source of information, rated higher than newspapers, nonprofit organizations, the government or, academics.
In another poll, commissioned by the American Alliance of Museums, 90 percent of liberals and 87 percent of conservatives said they support the value of museums. Nearly eight in 10 Americans consider museums more reliable sources of information than newspapers, nonprofit organizations, or the government, according to the data and technology company
The museum association's think tank, the Center for the Future of Museums, hypothesizes that, at a time of digital fakery, original documents in museums, such as the George Washington letter, command trust.
Museums also stumble, of course. The Newseum had to apologize for selling in its gift shop T-shirts that read "You Are Very Fake News." In a statement that exemplified this brave new world as much as the Field's Day of Facts did, it acknowledged, contritely, "Journalists are not the enemy of the people."
What's hardest is reaching people who might discount — or not be aware of — facts presented in museums, and not just preaching to the choir.
"That's the real critical question, isn't it? How to get them in," said Skorton.
Back at the Jewish museum, visitors don't even have to go inside anymore to see the pivotal words with which Washington laid out the principle of freedom of religion. The museum has hung a massive banner on its façade, in its enviable location next to Independence Hall. "To Bigotry No Sanction," it reads.
"The reason we go into this business and the reason we do the stuff we do, I don't think that changes," said Barsky, the director. "Every once in a while people pay just a little more attention."

When you take your iPhone in for a repair at the Apple Store, you don't expect staff to delete your precious files.
That is exactly what happened to one 68-year-old British man, who found that staff at Apple's Regent Street store had deleted his honeymoon photos during routine repairs. He then took the tech giant to court and won, reports Evening Standard.
Man devastated by loss of honeymoon photos sues Apple and wins
Deric White took his iPhone 5 to the Regent Street Apple Store last December after receiving an error notification. After the team carried out repairs he collected his smartphone only to find to his dismay that it had been completely wiped of its data, including photos and videos of his recent honeymoon along with 15 years of contacts.
"It was only after staff fiddled around they asked if I'd backed my things up," White says. "My life was saved on that phone. I lost my favorite video of a giant tortoise biting my hand on honeymoon in the Seychelles."
After the devastating loss White filed a lawsuit against Apple for around $7,500, accusing Apple staff of being "negligent" with his data. This Tuesday a court ruled in White's favor and awarded him $1,800 in compensation.
Judge awards damages due to staff negligence
"The defendant's employees were negligent in the treatment of the claimant's telephone," Judge Ruth Fine told the hearing, "causing the claimant loss of photographs of particular sentimental value and the loss of all his contacts. Just because damages are difficult to assess does not disentitle a claimant to compensation."
Lawyers for Apple said that White knowingly handed over his phone without backing up his photos. It is company policy to inform customers that data may be lost during repair work, but the claims were not enough to change the ruling.
"They have dragged me through the mud for this," said White after the hearing. "It's a victory for the common man who sought to stand up against multi-national corporations. They should be brought to boot when they do wrong, but they are usually too big for anybody to take on."

Another excellent question. Can you believe that you're the first person to ask me that in the seven years that I've been doing this?! I was worried about using a fisheye at first since we sat down and made a daunting list of all the shots that we needed and I was relatively new to using that lens. Guess what though! A great advantage to using a single focal length lens is that one starts seeing how to frame-up a subject on sight. When composition seemed impossible, it forced me to walk around and find angles that I'd never seen in photos before. I even started seeing fisheye images while I was dreaming, which kind of freaked me out.
Then we went to India, armed with another long list of photos to make, a guide educated at UC Berkley, and a driver that would take us off-the-beaten-path and show us things that were quirky and cool. A funny thing happened the very first day and kept happening: People actually called me over to make a portrait of them.
At first, I was taken aback by this as I hadn't planned on such photos and my mind was screaming, "Portrait with a fisheye?" I explained to our guide, and he said, "Dude, just go bang off a few frames, this guy never asks for such a thing, and he's a friend of mine." I did it, and this situation repeated itself almost every place we went. When I returned home and looked at the collection of portraits, I realized that they were some of the best work that I had ever done. You can see them here (as long as the site says active) if you're so inclined: https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/s7zCkB

Camilla Luddington has teased about the future for Jo Wilson in the hit medical drama Grey's Anatomy. Season 13 looked set to be an exciting season for her with the DeLuca/Alex drama, but things changed partway through due to the actress' pregnancy. Season 14 is set to include her more, especially now that Alex knows who Jo's husband is (and knows Jo's real name).
Jo (or you may call her Brooke) will likely find herself still caught in the middle of the Alex/DeLuca drama. DeLuca made it clear that he liked Jo as more than a friend, but she got him to stop partway through the sense. This isn't a place that she wants to go with the first man to find out her deep, dark secret.
Carter Matt shares that DeLuca may start to regret his decision to drop the charges against Alex in Grey's Anatomy Season 13. The young intern may be angry that Jo has decided to move forward with her relationship with Alex again. This could certainly be a possibility if Jo's husband, Paul (played by Matthew Morrison from Glee) shows up at the hospital.
@camilluddington I miss Jo & Jolex as much as I miss you online tweeting #GreysAnatomy pic.twitter.com/B41KklTmf4— Camilla L News (@CamillaLNews) April 6, 2017
Luddington has also shared that there may be hope for Jo's career moving forward. Grey's Anatomy fans haven't been blinded to the fact that Jo seems to have stagnated in her career. She is nowhere near as advanced in her knowledge as the likes of Stephanie Edwards and Ben Warren. Now that Jerrika Hinton has left her role as Edwards, there is a chance for Jo to be a more prominent character and focus more on her career.
Luddington spent June 27 teasing fans for Grey's Anatomy Season 14, with a GIF of Alex and Jo almost kissing. It certainly suggested that Jolex is in the future. Fans have asked whether the Jolex ship name will change since Jo's real name is something else, but Luddington couldn't answer that. If Jo's real name is actually Brooke, the ship name could be Brolex.
... tease ????... #s14 starting soon and I'm wondering whats in store ????? #GreysAnatomy pic.twitter.com/7prBbZa2Fj— Camilla Luddington (@camilluddington) June 27, 2017
The actress also interacted with fans, admitting that a lot of unscripted moments make it to the final cut. One of the unscripted scenes was the almost kiss in the GIF. She also shared that she isn't back on set yet, but does miss the Grey's family.
This scene was too beautiful to put into words #GreysAnatomy @camilluddington @7JustinChambers #Jolex ???? pic.twitter.com/v6CJ1sQ5iC— Camilla L News (@CamillaLNews) February 10, 2017
Grey's Anatomy fans have a little longer to wait for the new season. Season 14 will air on Thursdays on ABC from September 28.

When the mills that birthed the industrial revolution in cities like Manchester and Birmingham still powered the British economy of the mid-20th century, Robert Stevenson was a frequent visitor to the Midlands.
Eastman Machine, the company his family helped start in upstate New York 128 years ago, had a big factory 100 miles north of London, and Britain accounted for roughly a fifth of the firm's sales.
That was then. While Britain is still an important market for Eastman's sophisticated cutting tools, its workshop there was shuttered in the 1970s, and British customers are now served by Eastman's main factory in Buffalo and a smaller one in China.
So when the British electorate stunned the world on Friday with the results of the vote to leave the European Union, it was a shock for Mr. Stevenson, but not because it poses an immediate threat to Eastman's bottom line or the job security of its heavily blue-collar, 120-strong work force in downtown Buffalo.
What most concerns Mr. Stevenson and owners of businesses big and small is what the so-called Brexit says about the shape of economic things to come.
"You never know if there will be a domino effect, and we worry about other countries securing their borders," Mr. Stevenson said. "We were certainly surprised."
For all the shock and awe on Wall Street and financial markets around the globe on Friday, the imminent danger to the underlying American economy is relatively small. What's far more worrisome is whether Britain's decision represents an end to the economic integration and opening markets that have helped propel sales at companies like Eastman over the last few decades.
Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, politics and economics have mostly moved in one direction, with the elites on both sides of the Atlantic favoring policies like the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico, the introduction of the European currency and the entry of China into the World Trade Organization. Business has applauded these moves, but voters are not necessarily on board as they once were.
"I think a lot of the market reaction is less about the financial impact and more about populism and what it means for the liberal economic order," said Glenn Hubbard, a top economic official to President George W. Bush who now serves as dean of the Columbia Business School.
The Brexit vote, he added, reflects a deep distrust of the benefits of the global economic system among a wide swath of voters in Europe and the United States, and a broadly held view that government institutions — whether in Washington or Brussels — are calcifying and don't work well.
"Both of those forces have a lot of wind at their back," he said.
"In the near term, you're seeing markets being roiled, and feedback effects for the Federal Reserve," Mr. Hubbard said. But for now, at least in the United States, "I don't think it's going to raise recession probabilities."
When it comes to commerce, Britain is not even among the United States' top five trading partners — it's currently the seventh largest, according to the United States Census Bureau, which tracks trade data. American exports to Britain last year totaled $56 billion, or just over 0.3 percentage point of gross domestic product.
Partly that's a reflection of how the United States, despite leading the era of globalization, remains something of an economic island. Exports account for 13.4 percent of American economic output, according to the World Bank, compared with roughly 30 percent for Britain.
The 2015 slowdown in the United States' biggest trading partner — China — may have blunted domestic growth in the last year, but even that hardly threw the American economy into a tailspin. Nor should Brexit, most experts say.
Jared Bernstein, a liberal economist who most recently served in the Obama administration and is now a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, sees minimal pain within American borders. "It won't be helpful for our economy," Mr. Bernstein said, but "we won't take anything like the direct hit that I expect will befall the economy."
Several economists estimated that the fallout from the vote would probably end up decreasing growth in the American economy by about a quarter of a percentage point or less, while postponing any push by the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates, possibly through the end of 2016.
"The flight to safety means lots of people are flocking to U.S. Treasury bonds, putting downward pressure on interest rates," Mr. Bernstein said. "One possible outcome is that Fed's path to higher interest rates may become flatter as these events play out."
Brexit's impact on the United States economy will mostly be felt through the falling value of the pound and the euro against the dollar, Mr. Bernstein said, which is "likely to slow down inflation and exacerbate our trade deficit."
A surging dollar would hurt American exporters facing weaker demand from customers in Europe and Asia. In fact, Mr. Stevenson's main worry on Friday was whether his British competitors might actually benefit in the short term.
"With the pound dropping 10 or 15 percent, it may strengthen a couple of our competitors in the U.K.," he said. "I think they could be quite happy about it and gain market share."
As befits the owner of a company that survived World Wars I and II, outlasted the Great Depression and the Great Recession, and survived the collapse of the American textile industry — all without abandoning Buffalo — Mr. Stevenson has learned to adapt to potential shocks like Brexit.
Increasingly, that's meant focusing on making high-tech, software-driven equipment to cut composites and carbon-based fabrics for the aerospace industry and automakers, rather than the woolens and cotton Eastman's equipment was once designed to slice.
Many of Mr. Stevenson's current customers in Britain are in these sectors, he noted. The dressmakers and hosiers and other clothiers that once populated England's redbrick towns have long departed.
"Our focus has been to understand where the market is going," said Mr. Stevenson. Twenty years ago, 70 percent of Eastman's products were of traditional fabrics; the rest were space-age materials. Now, it is the reverse, which is among the reasons a fifth generation of Stevensons will have a company to take over.
"Our goal has been to maintain the company in Buffalo and as a family business," Mr. Stevenson said. "My son is 40, and I'm 65, and he is focused on these new materials. This saved our butt."
For those exporters that have managed to hang on in the industrial heartland of Britain, the Brexit could actually be good news, simply because the pound's plunge against currencies like the euro and the dollar makes their goods more competitive.
British exports like Rolls-Royce jet engines, high-end Jaguar automobiles and certain food products could get a lift. Last month, for example, Britain exported the largest cargo of wheat to the United States in more than two decades.
So would British hotels and restaurants, eager to host American visitors looking for what could amount to a 10 to 20 percent-off sale.
"If you wanted to buy a nice little house in Scotland, today's the day," said Kevin A. Hassett, an economist at the conservative American Enterprise Institute.
Chief executives of major American companies are paid well to see around corners, and must adapt their businesses even to trends they oppose, or face the consequences in the form of falling stock prices and angry shareholders.
That's among the reasons General Electric, which relies on foreign markets for more than half its revenue, has been preparing for the kind of political retreat from open markets that the British vote to leave the European Union represents.
"Companies must navigate the world on their own," G.E.'s chief executive, Jeffrey R. Immelt, said in the commencement speech last month at the N.Y.U. Stern School of Business.
For G.E., he said that meant seeking to achieve "a local capability inside a global footprint." Today, its 420 factories spread across the world give G.E. "tremendous flexibility," Mr. Immelt said, with jet engines, power generators and rail locomotives increasingly manufactured at several sites to ensure market access.
"A localization strategy," Mr. Immelt said, "can't be shut down by protectionist politics."
G.E. had prepared for the risk that Britain might vote to leave the E.U. by hedging in foreign currency markets. But beyond that immediate step, a G.E. spokeswoman said on Friday it was too early to discuss longer-term moves the company might make.
Mr. Immelt, in a statement, said that G.E., America's largest manufacturer, which employs 22,000 people in Britain and 100,000 in Europe over all, remains "firmly committed" to both Britain and Europe.
While Brexit's impact on Britain's overall economy may be mixed, its London-based financial sector is likely to feel the full force of the coming storm. The City, as London's equivalent of Wall Street is known, has boomed in the last 20 years as a global financial capital, especially for Continental banks seeking a more market-friendly home than Frankfurt or Paris.
With a recession in Britain now a distinct possibility, some experts worry that a government desperate to create and maintain jobs could seek to save the financial sector by making the City more attractive as an offshore haven.
"This could lead to London becoming even more like the Cayman Islands and other British territories, skirting around regulations, in a race to the bottom for the financial sector," said Adam S. Posen, a former member of the rate-setting committee at the Bank of England and now president of the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. "This potentially could leave pretty big holes in the financial safety net."
He pointed to the 2008 crisis involving the insurance giant American International Group, where a hedge-fund-like subsidiary operating in London and under less stringent rules nearly brought down the company and contributed to the financial crash.
"They could get away with things in London that they couldn't get away with in New York," Mr. Posen said, "So imagine repeating that on a larger scale or a more frequent scale."
Of course, dangers like those are the hardest to anticipate.
"Right now we're in one of those points in history," Mr. Hassett of the American Enterprise Institute said, "where there are lot of 'unknown unknowns,'" referring to the infamous comment by former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on the Iraq war.
Consider two very different types of uncertainty, Mr. Hassett explained, citing a well-known economic metaphor. If you bet on a roulette wheel, you know all the possible outcomes and the attendant risks. But now imagine a game where you don't know all the places the roulette ball might land, or the chances of it falling into different slots or even the prizes if you are fortunate enough to bet correctly.
"In those types of situations," he said, "anything can happen. And if you don't know what will happen, the optimal strategy might be to assume the worst."

Done & Dusted: Arsenal completes deal for Alexis Sanchez replacement
Arsenal have rejected two identical loan offers from Deportivo and Levante for Lucas Perez as the Spaniard awaits to see where his future lies, Goalunderstands.
The 28-year-old forward has wanted to leave the club for several months in pursuit of regular time after finding his opportunites limited at Emirates Stadium last season.
Perez wants to be selected for Spain at the 2018 World Cup and believes his best chance of doing so would be to join his former club Deportivo.
Depor have made a respectable loan offer of €3 million and are prepared to pay the player's full salary. Fellow La Liga side Levante have matched that offer.
However, both offers have been rejected by Arsenal who believe the fee should be significantly larger than the proposals currently on the table.
Goal revealed in February that Perez had set his sights on leaving Arsenal after being left frustrated with a lack of first-team opportunities and his agent revealed the price it would take for the Gunners to accept a permanent transfer.
"€15m (£13.4m) is an expensive price," Rodrigo Fernandez Lovelle told Goal earlier this month.

Go to Jamaica and let me guess, you will have at least ten people tell you to go to Rick's Cafe. So we did. Also because the skeevy bar in East Lansing we went to many a Thursday nights back in the day to scout for whomever we were half in love with at the time (shoutout PJB) was called Rick's American Cafe and we found the similarity slightly entertaining.
Anyway, we went to Rick's and it was both what I expected and not what I expected. It was definitely touristy, which I expected. I think I just expected the cliffs to look a little different, like involve actual climbing to get to, but that did not take away from the beauty of it. Also was not expecting for people to be standing on higher platforms asking for $5 to get them to jump off. Um, thanks? Ha.
So here is me having a miserable time:
See, I am absolutely miserable.
We had dinner:
I had the snapper, on the lower left corner, and it was the best out of the four meals. Also best was the bread that came with everything. What is my obsession with bread right now? It was warm and fluffy, and also I think we were starving from spending the whole day at Mayfield Falls. Oh – there were some drinks with very interesting names. Just an FYI.
This is Nora being a badass and jumping off the cliff, if you can find her. A bit of a "where's waldo" kind of photograph. She's the only one that went for the jump. I considered and then remembered that I am now old and frail and would have probably instantly broke an arm or two or both of my legs and my neck. So I stayed on land.
So yes, Rick's is a trip. You should at least check it out. And maybe make the dive if you're feeling cRaAzy.

Bipolar disorder is a disorder of affect or mood which is characterized by alternating episodes of
depression and mania. The mood and activity levels are significantly disturbed, on some occasions of an
elevation of mood and increased activity and on others of a lowering of mood and decreased energy and

(WARNING: Major spoilers abound!)
Popeye comes to Olive Oyl's apartment and gives her the "important news" that he's going to let her "axe" him to marry her. As difficult as it would be to turn down such a romantic proposal, Olive tells Popeye she has fallen for "Barnacle Bill, the Sailor" (Bluto by any other name), giving Popeye and Olive an excuse to sing the old song about the two-faced old sailor.
Bluto shows up to take Olive away, but he barely gets out his usual blustery greetings before Popeye knocks him into the ocean. Olive quickly concludes, "Popeye dear, I love you best," but for once Popeye is having none of it. He declares all women unfaithful and storms out of the apartment. Sure enough, Olive cries that "the Navy" has left her behind…"but still, there's the Army!"

On Sept. 30, Tallahassee became the latest source of police brutality, a topic sweeping the nation in light of recent events and protests. A total of four people were arrested for resistance without violence in Tallahassee's Frenchtown after Quontarrius Jones was ordered to stop walking in the street despite the lack of sidewalks on Dunn Street. Confusion then ensued after the initial arrest of Jones, and matriarch Viola Young walked onto the scene. In an attempt to figure out what was occuring, 62-year-old Young, inquired the officers at the scene about the arrest. However, after receiving no sensical answers, Young began to walk away. Officer Terry Mahan then proceeded to tase Young, causing her to fall face first into the pavement.
The actions of Mahan were quickly condemned by not only the Tallahassee Police Department Chief Michael DeLeo, the State Attorney's office, and Tallahassee citizens, but the nation as well. Chief DeLeo called for an unprecedented press conference a mere ten hours after the event occurred in the early morning hours to address the situation and publicly announce Mahan's administrative leave as well as an internal investigation.
National media outlets have been quick to lump the story under titles of police brutality along with other recent cases such as the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson. The TPD is easily portrayed as a band of insensitive officers unlawfully targeting minorities, as is the current reputation of many police forces across the U.S. And though what happened to Young is extremely relevant to the current plight of victims and advocates against police brutality, the story of what happened in Tallahassee remains largely in the shadows because of the media's current focus on continuing developments in Ferguson. Albeit, what news has been reported on Frenchtown at the national level only serves to highlight critical issues in the TPD.
It is a unanimous opinion that the tasing of Young was completely uncalled for, prompting questions on whether our nation's police forces are equipped to deal with these situations that should never escalate to such brutish tactics. However, because of all the recent mishandlings with citizens that the TPD has encountered, the city of Tallahassee seems eager to change such a reputation.
Though DeLeo has only recently become police chief, he has been active in the fight for reforms of the TPD, as these issues of police brutality are no new occurrences. Just last year, Tallahassee made national headlines after suspected police brutality in a DUI arrest. This has led DeLeo to authorizing a number of internal investigations in order to root out the problem that currently hinders the ability of the TPD to address situations in a neutral manner.
"We want to be transparent with the community by sharing what we can at this point. The investigation will determine if the officer's actions were legal and if those actions were consistent with the expectations I have set for our officers in terms of how we respect and treat our citizens," DeLeo said.
Various groups have called upon State Attorney Willie Meggs, including the Dream Defenders, to file criminal charges against Mahan. Though no charges as of yet have been proposed, the State Attorney has been playing an active role throughout the discourse of the tasing incident. Meggs has on multiple occasions noted of the tasing that, "the evidence indicates it was unnecessary."

I believe that by the year 2030: Ford should be out of debt, Lincoln/Mercury will be outstanding luxury cars, Volvo will have a zero death rate, and Mazda will have the sports car auto maker in the pocket.
Now comes to what Ford should do after. Saving for a rain day fund is most logical, but Ford needs to diversify its portfolio. AM with Lagodia(spelling) should be rebought. Ford also needs to go outside the auto business as well. it works for Honda and it has worked for Ford in the past. Such thinks as motorcycles, lawn equipment, air conditioners, 18 wheelers, and constuction equipment.
By diversifing Ford will not let themselves fall into a car downfall, one side of the company can help the other in case that side of industry falls flat for awhile.
