It is not usual to begin a book review with a quote from elsewhere, but, "Bad men need nothing more to compress their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing," as nineteenth century English liberal philosopher John Stuart Mill remarked, is the initial feeling that I took away from Sam Dagher's Assad Or We Burn The Country: How One Family's Lust For Power Destroyed Syria. The Assad family in Syria, I believe, has been allowed to act with relative impunity and, quite literally, get away with murder.
"These poisonous regional conflicts [Iran and the Arab Spring fallout] and the West's reticence and caution gave Bashar and his backers ample time to decimate those resisting peacefully and to turn the standoff into an armed struggle fuelled by sectarian extremists on both sides, "argues Dagher. "…the Assad regime's henchmen mocked [then US President Barack] Obama's calls on Bashar to relinquish power and his warnings over chemical weapons use because they had calculated — correctly, it turned out — that these were merely words."
The author offers insight into the thinking of the Syrian regime and explores the family history of the bloodied Assad dynasty. Crucially, though, he does this while exploring the personal stories of Syria's anti-authoritarian revolutionaries and this offers an interesting contrast between the 2011 street protestors and Bashar Al-Assad's inner circle. One moment we are with anti-regime activists coordinating street protests and the next minute we are in the dictator's "crisis management cell", a group setup in 2011 by officials and close aides of the Syrian leader to organise the crackdown on protesters and later lead the military campaign against the rebellious population.
Book Review: A Woman is No Man
The book's title comes from graffiti sprayed on walls by pro-Assad militia groups in 2011 — "Assad or We Burn the Country" — as an expression which best exemplifies the way that Assad supporters saw events in their country. Indeed, as Assad himself said in 1995, "There is no other way to govern our society except with the shoe over people's heads." Both quotes capture the essence of Dagher's point that power for the Assad family has always been a zero-sum game.Arab regimes have always used claimed that, "It is us or it is chaos" in order to cling to power in any way possible, but Syria has taken this line to terrifying new levels. As Dagher writes, even with the formation of the crisis management cell, which was made up of different factions, all of whom were personally loyal to the Assad family, there were divisions on how to respond to the uprising. However, those who did not favour the scorched-earth policy adopted by the regime, were eventually eliminated. Syria's Deputy Defence Minister Assef Shawkat, despite being responsible for countless deaths, did not take well to the blanket destruction of Syria being enacted by the regime of which he was part. He was eventually killed in a mysterious explosion in an up-market Damascus neighbourhood in 2012, as were other officials and aides who did not support the extent of the regime's belligerent policies.
READ: The Syrian regime's slogan 'Assad or we burn the country' must not become reality
One key difference between Dagher's analysis and others about the Syrian regime is the role that Bashar Al-Assad personally played in instigating the civil war. It is still common to find those who argue that he was merely a figurehead who had been sidelined by his own family; someone who simply took control of the military response from 2011 onwards, but the book makes clear that this is not true. According to the author, the Syrian President pushed for hard-line solutions and friends around him who tried to dissuade him from doing so found themselves shut out from his inner circle. "Bashar used what would become a characteristic medical/clinical analogy when he linked his opponents to 'multiplying germs'," explains Dagher. "'We can't completely eradicate them, but we can work on strengthening the immunity of our bodies,' he said." Furthermore, Assad was never a reformer, contrary to the image presented of him prior to the 2011 uprising.Beyond the politics, the book depicts Assad as an emotionally detached figure who did not portray any emotion at his older brother Bassel's funeral in 1994, nor at his father's funeral in 2000. Upon the death of his brother, he was groomed to be the President of Syria after his father; a shy and introverted figure, Bashar sought to find ways to prove his masculinity to himself. One way was to have countless love affairs, not for pleasure but to prepare to be the man that he felt he needed to be in order to be president. Even after his marriage to Asma Akhras in 2000, Assad felt it necessary to boast about his extramarital affairs to foreign diplomats. This is not mere trivia; it tells us a lot about the psychological pathologies of the man at the head of the Syrian regime.
There was nothing inevitable about the destruction, brutality and savagery of the Syrian civil war. Decisions made and not made by those dealing with the crisis have led to the situation in which Syria finds itself today. Nevertheless, while the outcome of events was never inevitable, the book leaves little doubt that it was indeed inevitable that Assad would handle things in the way that he did, and continues to do. It was always going to be brute force all the way, unless someone stopped him, and nobody did.
To be clear here, Sam Dagher is not calling for foreign intervention in Syria; he is showing us the consequences of allowing such a regime as that led by Bashar Al-Assad to survive. It is a much-needed antidote to all those who think otherwise. As T.S. Eliot puts it in his poem Gerontion, "After such knowledge, what forgiveness?" The book is an essential read because is dispels many of the myths surrounding the Syrian conflict and forces us to ask some hard questions about how we got to this position.

3 Justice: Interpreting Tarot
Welcome to 3 Cards. Each month I take three tarot cards and look at how different decks bring in different meanings. That's one of the things I love about tarot is how the creators play with themes and variations and we aim to explore that in this series.
I much prefer the Thoth variation of Adjustment over Justice, justice is a loaded word at least in English. It feels outside of you and not something that you are part of or that is easily applied to your life. Adjustment reminds me to keep tweaking my life, to keep working magick on me, to keep on fine tuning. It is much easier to get your thoughts around. But most decks use the RWS variation of Justice so here we are with them.
Animails Os Fortuna
There are two bones loosely bound together balancing a scale. The feel here for me is that we try to hold onto rigid concepts and bind them together to create some form of balance in life. That you don't have to bind it so tightly to create this in your life. That you can be just and free form in that justice. You only need to ease up on your grip of things to bring balance into your like. Don't get so caught up in making it static and unchanging.
Thought Prompt
Where do you try to bind things too tight? How does this impact your energetic systems and balances?
Mythic Tarot the 80's version
This is what we would expect from a deck that is based in Greek mythic systems. Athena is featured in this deck with her sword and owl of wisdom. The floor is black and white checkered board. She is sitting in judgement of what has happened. She wants to know if you put your logic and knowledge to work? Athena can help yo cut through illusions to see what is true and real in your life. She's not concerned how you feel about your illusions being cut away or how you feel. Her concern is the logic of it, the truth underneath it all.
Thought Prompt
How can Justice harm when there is no compassion to it? Where do you need to bring in logic and cut through illusion?
Starchild Akashic Tarot
This has the feeling of a gift. The gift of Justice for your life to empower you, to change what needs to be changed. This Justice is not going to bind you or pull the rug out from underneath you. She's going to help you find the tools you need to do this yourself. She will be right at your side whispering to you but she expects you to walk willingly into Justice and discover what it is to you. It implies a bringing in of this into you, into self. To empower and create a flowing balance in your life.
Thought Prompt
Where do you need to accept this gift of balance? How can steeping willingly into Justice change you?

Midweek Mashup – Celtic, 1991
It's not unknown for Celtic to dabble in non-white socks.
The first entry in this series looked at the wearing of an orange set in 1970, loaned by opponents Leeds; lime green socks were used against Hibernian in the early 1990s; while Jackie McNamara's testimonial against the Republic of Ireland in 2005 saw green called on.
In 2012-13, the new home kit was launched with black socks but they were soon jettisoned for the familiar white, while the current season has them in predominantly green pairs.
However, the white shorts have tended to remain sacrosanct since 1898, apart from a brief period in the early 20th century when the Scottish League instructed teams to wear white shorts at home and black away.
One instance of a deviation from that came in 1991, when Celtic travelled to Highbury to play Arsenal in Paul Davis's testimonial.
It seems strange that a referee would look for extra differentiation for what was a friendly – there was no shorts- or socks-clash rules for European games at the time, for instance – but the dark green shorts from Celtic's away kit were worn.
As a result, Celtic also had to change their shirts. At the time, they played in unnumbered tops so as not to sully the famous hoops but, without their white shorts with large green numbers, the Bhoys' players carried black digits on their backs in the 2-2 draw. These were shirts for Uefa competitions, with Celtic having had to wear numbers on their backs in Europe since 1975.
Will Celtic wear dark shorts with the home shirt again? It's unlikely, with no shorts-clash rule in Scotland and the option to wear a change kit if one arises in Europe. It would take a perfect storm, like Arsenal at Fenerbahçe in 2013, such as a game at Vitesse Arnhem in a season where Celtic had a yellow away and a black third. Or perhaps a European tie at Ibrox?

With her quirky, tongue-in-cheek lyrics, universal pop melodies and trademark curly hair, British dance floor Barbarella Lolene is a hot topic.
Awkward Pop
Coining the term, "awkward pop," Lolene describes her sound as "Joan Collins in Dynasty, Studio 54, white jump-suits, and disco balls." Raised by a single mother and "independent by default," Lolene is a native of Bristol, England, where she grew up mastering tap, jazz dance, and ballet before discovering, as a teen, that music was her true calling.
Lolene began writing songs and singing backing vocals for trip-hop artist Martina Topley-Bird and local drum and bass pioneer Roni Size. After completing school, she moved to London and fronted a short-lived girl group. With a knack for writing melodies and lyrics, she wrote all the group's material and signed to a development deal at BMG Records.
Armed with nothing but a suitcase and a demo CD, Lolene moved to Hollywood in search of her big break. She was quickly discovered by multiplatinum producer Jonathan "J.R." Rotem, who signed her to his publishing label Beluga Heights/Sony ATV. She went to work as a songwriter, collaborating with such heavy-hitters as Christina Milian, for whom Lolene penned the single Diamonds featuring Kanye West.
Debut Album
Rich (Fake it Til You Make It) is the delicious first track and video from Lolene's highly anticipated debut album The Electrick Hotel, set to be released on Capitol/EMI Records summer 2010.

UPDATE: Wet, Slushy Snow Wrapping Up
Snow has been falling, heavy at times, since early Friday afternoon. As of 9 PM a few pockets of moderate snow were still out there but for the most part snow had become more flurry-like across southeast Wisconsin. Snow totals so far have been fairly in line with the forecast with 1-3" in most spots and a little less near the lake where temperatures have stayed above freezing.
A winter weather advisory remains in effect for our NW counties until midnight.
After the snow ends our focus quickly shifts to a gloomy and wet Christmas on Sunday. Fog will be likely especially in the morning as warmer temperature start to move in. A quick hit of rain/snow mix or even ice pellets is possible Sunday early afternoon before switching to all snow. The heaviest snow is expected Sunday night into Monday. Just over a half inch of rain is expected to fall by Monday morning.

Prague: Surprises Around Every Corner
Welcome to Prague, in the Czech Republic! Over the course of three days, we toured Prague and took day trips to the nearby towns of Terezin (which will be covered in a different blog post) and Kutna Hora. From a seemingly ordinary country church which revealed a ghoulish creativity, to a simple statue which revealed the history of the country, we were often surprised during our short visit to the Czech Republic. Click the link to read more.
Our first surprise greeted us just after we landed in Prague from South Africa. We imagined that, in general, Czech people would be rather dour as a remnant of their years under Communism, but this advertisement reveals the humor and good nature that we found in our contacts with Czechs. After a travel publication called Prague's Zizkov Television Tower the second ugliest building in the world, the Czechs decided to use that ignominious ranking as a humorous selling point. I'm guessing Baltimore, which is the home to the ugliest building in the survey, didn't turn those lemons into lemonade with nearly the panache of the Czechs.
Above are two photos of the Prague skyline. It's easy to see the Television Tower, which stands out of place with all of the other buildings in Prague's historic old town areas. But the main reasons the Television Tower was ranked so high on the ugliest building list are the strange sculptures of naked babies crawling up the Tower (you can barely see them on the advertisement photo above).
The ugly Television Tower stands out as the exception is what is otherwise a city filled with beautiful buildings. Above are a couple of photos showing Prague's signature Charles Bridge and the Prague Castle complex. The Czech Republic has more than 2,000 castles, one of the highest numbers of castles in any country in the world, and the pictured castle complex is the largest castle in the world.
Included in the Prague Castle complex is the gothic St. Vitus Cathedral, the largest church in the country.
Prague is a beautiful city, and it is no surprise that, during the August high season, there were many other tourists there enjoying the city.
This led us to wonder more than once why some tourists were taking photos of particular buildings. For instance, tourists crowded into the rather nondescript alley pictured above and took photos in all directions. After watching a group of tourists take photos of this yellow building, Beth is shown with her arms out, saying, "What am I missing here?"
Of course, just as soon as we make fun of other tourists for taking photos of plain-looking buildings, I see the rather plain house where writer Franz Kafka lived, and I ask Beth to take my photo in front of it.
The above photo shows a row of typical Baroque and Art Nouveau buildings for which Prague is known, with a more modern building on the corner. That building was designed by Frank Gehry and a Czech architect, and it is named the "Dancing House," or the "Fred and Ginger Building" (after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers; Ginger is supposed to be the all-glass portion of the building). The place where the building stands was hit by an American bomb during World War II, and the corner lot was vacant until 1992 when this building was erected. It was controversial at the time, but now it much loved among the locals.
No building in Prague is more loved than the clock tower in the main square of the Old Town.
Every hour, hordes of people gather in front of the clock tower. What are they looking at?
The pictured clock is a medieval astronomical clock built in 1410, and it's the oldest working astronomical clock in the world. Each hour, the windows to the clock open and statues of the 12 apostles parade in front of the windows before a guy on top of the tower plays a song on a horn.
In case you're interested, above is a video of the hourly clock show.
One of the biggest pleasures in Prague is sampling the city's culinary treats. Czech people are the world's heaviest consumers of beer, so we felt (happily) obligated to sample some local brews.
We hopped on a bus and took a day trip to the nearby town of Kutna Hora.
On the way to Kutna Hora, we passed a couple of things that reminded us of home: a local production of Grease, aka, "Pomada", and a large Philip Morris factory. If anyone is a Philip Morris shareholder, no need to worry, while smoking may be on the decline in the United States, smoking is still quite popular in Central Europe.
Under this seemingly ordinary complex of buildings in Kutna Hora lies one of the richest European silver mines in history. Between 1300 and 1340, the mine produced 20 tons of silver each year.
Beth and I put on our miner coats, hats, and lamps in preparation for checking out the medieval silver mine for ourselves. Above, I point to a place in a painting where I would have worked if I were a miner.
We then descended many flights of stairs into the heart of the mine. In the 1300's, the miners did not have such nice stairs or flashlights. Indeed, while miners were paid well, they often were killed on the job, and virtually every miner who worked in the mine for longer than a few years went totally blind due to spending so long working in almost total darkness.
After learning that life as a miner was no picnic, Beth decided that she would have preferred being employed as a supervisor of the guys who made the coins from the silver the mine produced.
Not content with finding silver underground, the medieval Czechs were avid alchemists. Here I am in the site of an alchemist's underground studio.
While in Kutna Hora we passed the above-pictured church, which looks ordinary from the outside. Inside however, as a different story....
In 1278, the abbot of this Catholic church sprinkled earth brought from the holy land on the church's cemetery. That made the church's cemetery the preferred place for anyone in the area to be buried. Sadly, over the course of the next few centuries, the Black Death and the Hussite Wars led to over a hundred thousand bodies being placed in a mass grave around the church. In 1511, a monk exhumed the bodies, and over the course of many years, the local monks created the macabre masterpieces pictured above. Each chandelier in the church is made up of every bone in the human body, and the bones from a total of 70,000 human bodies were used to outfit the inside of the church with some ghoulishly creative decorations.
Outside of the church, we came across this seemingly ordinary statue depicting Tomas Garrigue Masaryk, the founder of Czechoslovakia.
The brief inscription behind the statue's pedestal recounts the statue's history, which parallels the country's troubled 20th-century history: erected on the 20th anniversary of Czech independence in 1938; torn down in 1942 by the occupying Nazis (who disliked Masaryk as a symbol of Czech independence); erected again in 1948 after the defeat of Hitler; torn down again in 1957 by communists who considered Masaryk an enemy of the working class; and erected once again in 1991 after the fall of communism. The ever-practical Czechs have left blank space below the last entry....
At the end of our three days in the Czech Republic, we packed our bags, went to the train station, and boarded the train bound for Krakow, Poland. See you there!

Fighting the Iraq war - on the Texas plains
Working double and triple shifts, companies are struggling to churn out supply vehicles and put an end to 'hillbilly armor.'
Set among the cattle ranches and grassy plains of Sealy, Texas, founded in 1902 by a blacksmith and a carriage maker, stands an outpost of Stewart & Stevenson: a giant facility that's helping to fight a war 10,000 miles away. Here, talk of insurgents and the lack of a defined enemy takes a back seat to the rapid installation of machine-gun mounts and inches-thick bulletproof glass.
It's an unseen part of the war in Iraq, one that is as vital to bringing soldiers home safely as the barricades on Baghdad streets. The workers here know their solemn duty: constructing armored cabs designed to withstand attacks from small-arms fire, artillery airbursts, land mines, and other explosive devices - equipment that's a far cry from the "hillbilly armor" described by American soldiers.
Not long after President Bush declared major combat operations in Iraq, the truck makers at Stewart & Stevenson began seeing their supply vehicles sent back riddled with bullet holes and torn up from mine blasts.
These were not the usual repairs to returning trucks. In fact, the company hadn't seen this kind of damage in its 63 years of contracting with the US military.
But when it became clear that Iraqi insurgents were firing at anything that moved, including soft-shelled supply vehicles, a startled Stewart & Stevenson began designing a cab that would protect its occupants.
A year later, the Houston-based company, which does nearly 40 percent of its business with the Defense Department, shipped the first batch of armored cabs to Iraq - just as a national guardsman made safety a front-page issue with a question posed to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in December: "Why do we soldiers have to dig through local landfills for pieces of scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass to up-armor our vehicles?"
Now, producing enough material to replace its unprotected cabs has become a top priority for the military - and is testing the limits of Stewart & Stevenson, which has had to bring in welders from as far away as Norfolk, Va. Inside the 500,000 square foot facility, among the smell of paint fumes and diesel, giant trucks move along conveyor systems. After the incident with Mr. Rumsfeld, the company was asked to triple its production.
"They want everything they can get as fast as they can get it," says Dennis Dellinger, president of the company's tactical vehicle systems.
Stewart & Stevenson is not alone. Companies that make the Humvee and other light tactical vehicles are hastily adding second and third shifts, extra assembly lines, and as many employees as they can train.
"The reason for this sudden surge in demand for armored vehicles is that the Army simply didn't anticipate the intensity or duration of unconventional warfare in Iraq," says Loren Thompson, a defense analyst at the Lexington Institute in Arlington, Va. "Whether consciously or unconsciously, the Army planned its vehicle fleet for a world in which the front lines are well defined and people in the rear didn't need to worry about being attacked."
He says that when the US emerged from fighting in Vietnam, it put the idea of counter insurgency behind it and re-postured itself for fighting on the plains of central Europe. Some even began to speculate that the whole nature of war was changing when precision air strikes proved so successful in the 1990s.
"So when the Army got to places like Somalia, Afghanistan, and Iraq, it found that the lack of protection on its tactical vehicles was an Achilles' heel," says Dr. Thompson. "What we have discovered since 9/11 is that our adversaries will adapt to any weakness in our forces."
Even today, the military's medium tactical vehicles - produced exclusively by Stewart & Stevenson - have no ballistic requirements. Of the company's 4,800 trucks in Iraq right now, only 500 have add-on armored plate and 200 are equipped with the new armored cabs.
When Stewart & Stevenson first introduced its family of medium tactical vehicles in 1991, "they were not designed to go into the middle of the fight," says David Lombardi, director of marketing at the company. "In the old days, they didn't shoot at these things. But this is a new deal; they are shooting at everybody over there. So we had to adapt."
Even before the Army requested it, the company began work on an entirely new armored design for its cab, which fits directly into the space of the standard cab. Unlike the Humvee, Stewart & Stevenson decided against bolting additional armor onto its cab for fear of changing the carrying capacity, overloading the front axel, and slowing down the vehicle.
And as fighting intensified and more supply vehicles became targets, the company increased the hardness and thickness of the steel, "so that the truck could handle a higher threat," says Mr. Dellinger.
So far, he has hired roughly 100 new employees to triple production from five to 15 armored cabs a day. But the biggest challenge is finding enough ballistic fiber, glass, and steel. "Suppliers can't keep up with the pace," he says. "There is lots of competition right now for armoring vests, helmets, Humvees. Everyone wants a piece of the pie."
Indeed, Stewart & Stevenson could have produced more cabs and earlier, but preference was given to armoring the frontline Humvees. In December, the Defense Department announced it was ordering 100 more up-armored Humvees a month from its main supplier, O'Gara-Hess & Eisenhardt in West Chester, Ohio.
Outside the Sealy facility on a warm, windswept day, soft-shelled supply trucks back from Iraq await repair. Some have front-end damage. Others have fallen off trains. All are coated, inside and out, in desert dust.
While most are back for routine repairs, one has scrap metal tacked to the driver's side window by soldiers in the field and another has large shrapnel holes through the driver's side door and roof.
"If someone wasn't severely hurt in this one, it would be a miracle," says Mr. Lombardi, surveying the shrapnel damage in dismay. "We hate seeing stuff like this. But that's what we're up against."

More Bisque from Old Molds Already in the MarketBy Mark Chervenka
More Bisque from Old Molds Already in the Market
Bisque figures made from old molds were found in the market. New figures are marked "Germany" with impressed lettering and four digit numbers just like original figures made from ca. 1880 through the 1920s.
New pieces arrive with a blue backstamp of the importer but the new mark is easily removed leaving only the permanent impressed marks. Since new figures carry the same permanent markings as old, markings are not a reliable test of age. The finish on new figures is slightly rougher than original surfaces, but new figures can easily be smoothed using common household items. Holiday figures, comic characters and Kewpies were also expected to be reproduced.
The new figures are made in Germany. Makers claim they own over 30,000 original molds. Prices for new mermaids average $45 each; new bathing beauties average $65. Comparable originals sell for $125 to $225.

Our Context
The 21st century is defined by it's convergence of various world crisis- economic, political, environmental, and social. As a result, "fractures", previously hidden by a global paradigm of infinite growth, have been revealed. For our collective these "fractures" represent an important moment in history where commonly held social, political, economic and environmental preconceptions increasingly seem irrelevant. Our work is focused on documenting the human stories of struggle, growth, consumption, suffering, and resistance that is life in these "fractures". We hope to not only commit these stories to a collective memory, but also to use their documentation to challenge the uncritical acceptance of the status quo. We trust our audience and the broader public to see our work and reconsider- constant growth is not sustainable. Rather it is our belief that this convergence of crises signifies change is inevitable.
Our Story
Fractures Photo is a documentary photography collective founded in the spring of 2011. The collective is made up of four professional photographers. Guillaume Darribau and William Sands are based in Barcelona, Spain. Anderson Barbosa lives in Belém, Brazil, and Oscar B. Castillo lives between Caracas, Venezuela and Mulhouse, France. The collective was born from a shared passion for documentary photography and more importantly a shared history of participation in alternative social movements. Fractures Photo is organized in a collective structure where financial and strategic decisions are made through a consensus seeking process. Fractures celebrates its members' individual talents and perspectives while finding strength and legitimacy in the collective's international nature and collective process.
Our Method
As photographers we are often reminded of the dynamics of power that come with our cameras. We believe the best documentary work is sincere, and requires risk for both the photographer and subject. Our work is our form of expression and its intention is to complicate otherwise simplified public discourses. For us the image is a powerful tool that carefully understood, can be used to promote progressive change. With the technological advancements in the photographic industry we see an emerging renaissance of documentary photography. Fractures Photos hopes to contribute to this renaissance.
Focusing Our Work
We divide our work into four main categories. These categories are not rigid and much of our work overlaps different categories, representing the convergence of crises. Our work is categorized for legibility but each story should be understood as not standing alone rather as part of a larger puzzle.
Evidence of these fractures can be found in the current financial crisis. As a collective we understand this crisis is a direct consequence of a speculative and predatory economic logic. This logic is the same logic that drove the sub-prime mortgage market in the United States, and the construction bubble in Spain. As a result a widely accepted global trust in basic of financial institutions, like multi-national corporations and international banking conglomerates has eroded. Vibrant parallel economies have emerged through the cracks, while corporate profiteering continues.
Global warming has resulted in increased environmental instability. Flash floods, frequent tornados, early hurricanes, heavy blizzards, and record temperatures are creating significant consequences for humanity. For many adaptation is already a reality. Fractures Photo believes forced adaptation to environmental instability is of historic importance.
Old political systems are growing irrelevant in local political economies. For Fractures Photo the reemergence of a grassroots politics of the street, is proof of this irrelevancy. Of equal importance the global rise of reactionary forces, like religious fundamentalists and neo-fascist nationalists, is pushing the basic liberal values of secularism and democracy.
Fixed points of cultural reference are constantly being challenged. Identity is no longer just defined by race, class, gender, sexuality, or nationality. Rather for many, identity has become a more fluid and adaptive mix of all these categories. This fluidity has reinvented traditions and created autonomous subcultures. Fractures Photo is particularly interested in both new forms of social exclusion and solidarity.

The CRISPR story has arrived for the grand telling as a miracle of our age. The proof? At least four popular, mass-market books about the DNA-snipping technology are under way.
Details on the book projects are limited, but they all seem to tease the idea that human evolution itself is at stake now that scientists have the power to alter our genes.
The CRISPR babies born in China last year made that topic more urgent than ever. Now, these four book authors will be in their own CRISPR race to see who publishes first. Here's the rundown of what we know.
Untitled, by Walter Isaacson
Sources tell us that Isaacson, the biographer of Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, and Steve Jobs, is having a close look at the CRISPR story, possibly through the eyes of Jennifer Doudna, the University of California biochemist who co-invented the tool and then started warning the world how it could be misused.
We don't know if the book has a working title, but according to our sources, Isaacson has been in Europe interviewing CRISPR scientists including Emmanuel Charpentier, who teamed with Doudna to make a key CRISPR breakthrough. Since CRISPR's invention was more a group effort than the work of a solitary scientist, the story may be hard to present as a "genius biography," Isaacson's specialty.
Neither Isaacson nor his agent, Amanda "Binky" Urban, at ICM Partners in Manhattan, responded to messages. What's certain, though, is that Isaacson's famous name and big-picture pen could put the CRISPR story onto the best-seller list. Expect a seven-figure book deal.
Editing Mankind: Humanity in the Age of CRISPR and Gene Editing, by Kevin Davies
Davies is the editor of the academic CRISPR Journal and previously wrote The $1,000 Genome, a book about the race to make DNA sequencing faster and cheaper. Davies has now sold a CRISPR book to Pegasus Books that is going to have a look at gene-editing research in China and the US and will ask whether scientists are "playing God."
According to a blurb, the book, due out next year, will track "the scientists on the front lines of its research to the patients whose powerful stories bring the narrative movingly to human scale."
Davies has had a ringside seat on CRISPR, including last year's gene-editing debacle in China. His journal published a lengthy paper on the ethics of genetically modifying humans by He Jiankui, the Chinese scientist who revealed he'd made gene-edited twins. The journal eventually retracted He's paper for serious ethics and conflict of interest violations.
Mutants, by Eben Kirksey
Kirksey is a cultural anthropologist who will be spending the next academic year at the Institute for Advanced Study, in Princeton, New Jersey. He will be looking at the intersection of gene editing and social inequality, which is going to be a problem if only some people can afford to upgrade their genes. According to a publisher's listing, Kirksey "plans a deep dive into the international case of scientists, lobbyists, entrepreneurs, and activists remaking the human race through CRISPR."
The book was sold to St. Martin's press, according to our sources, but neither Kirksey nor his publisher immediately responded to email messages.
Untitled, by Michael Specter
We've been hearing for some time that New Yorker scribe Michael Specter is at work on a CRISPR book, and we've spotted him shadowing MIT gene-drive specialist Kevin Esvelt, who has been outspoken when it comes to releasing gene-editing tools in the environment—for instance, to eliminate malaria-transmitting mosquitoes in Africa. Specter previously profiled Esvelt for the New Yorker. Specter did not immediately return an email seeking comment.
Maybe I should write a book myself. I am thinking CRISPR for Dummies meets Mary Shelley.

This summer is just flying by! We spent a wonderful two weeks in Hawaii. As soon as I got home, though, the vacation was over. I had to pack my mom's house and help her move to her new retirement community. Her new place is great, but it's a lot smaller so it's going to take some time to sort through everything. The week was exhausting while we packed, moved and unpacked, but I think I am finally over my jet lag. LOL. This weekend finally brought some time to relax.
Here are a few cards that I made with Gossamer Blue's July kits. They are so fun and perfect for documenting all of your summer getaways or staycations. I used the Crate Paper Journeys line on here. It's so cute!
Head over to Gossamer Blue, as there are still some kits available.
Thanks for stopping by!

July Gossamer Blue Projects
It's July 1st and you know what that means! The Gossamer Blue kits are live! This month, Lori pulled together some fun travel themed goodies for the kits. As you can see, though, you don't have to be going anywhere to use them. I really had a lot of fun creating this month. Here are 3 layouts that I made.
This first page is about how much I love the beach, specifically the beach at my brother's home in Nags Head, NC. The lighter colors were perfect for my photo.
The cute wood clouds are from Shimelle's wood die cut set. Love them!
Finally, this is a page about my little family and how I love journeying through life with them. I used a mix of fun things on here. My favorites are the wood 'adventure' word and the feather border from the Crate Paper Journeys die cut set.
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!

The Co-operative Global Radio Memories Project
Station 4IP is owned and operated by the Ipswich Broadcasting Company Pty. Ltd. This up-to-date broadcaster was officially opened in September, 1935, and since its inception has provided high-class programmes for listeners in Ipswich and surrounding districts.
The transmitter operates on a frequency of 1440 Kcs with an aerial power of 200 watts. Programmes are radiated daily from 6.30 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. Broadcasting activities are handled by a competent staff, many with years of engineering, executive and writing experience, and all with good educational backgrounds.
It has always been the policy of the station to foster local talent. Every encouragement is given to performers, and many accomplished singers, instrumentalists and elocutionists have been heard through the 4IP microphone. The childrens sessions are eagerly awaited by thousands of young people who give unstinted support to the youthful artists who appear regularly in studio shows. Much juvenile talent has been discovered during these sessions.
During the last Victory Loan Campaign, the station, in conjunction with the Local War Loan Committee, embarked on an ambitious programme of Amateur Hours, covering wide areas. 4IP technical equipment was transported as far as 62 miles for relaying programmes from surrounding areas.
It is interesting to note that the Directors are already making elaborate plans for post-war development, and steps are being taken to make further improvements in the 4IP transmissions and facilities. West Moreton listeners can expect even better broadcasting in the future. The stations motto is well-known:-
4IP Ipswich 'Your Local Station for Better Entertainment', Broadcast Year Book and Radio Listeners' Annual of Australia 1946-47.

Good Morning all I hope you are all well today
Today is the start of a new challenge over at
Ooh La La And the theme is Let's get crafty.
So why not pop along to
And join in with us and see what the design team have
been making.
This image is from the Everyday occasions CD and you
can get this from
It is a wonderful CD as there's something for everyone.
I started with a 8"x8" craft board card base which i cut a mat out
of paper that i printed from the CD. And then I cut another mat
out of cream card.
I then cut a strip to go across the centre of my card.
Before I stuck it down I wrapped a piece of brown ribbon around it.
Next I printed off I'm topper and I mounted it on to craft board.
I then added it to the centre of my card.
To finish off with I added some buttons and some
Scrabble pieces.
That's it for today and I thank you all for visiting my blog.
Many Thanks

Ciao ragazzi! This is a counter article to this optimistic piece by Inter Worldwide writer Santo Merlo, who outlined the reasons Inter should consider keeping disgraced former captain Mauro Icardi.
Link to the article: https://interworldwide.net/2019/06/25/the-icardi-conundrum/
An "In-form" Icardi is one of the best strikers in the world.
I don't think many, if any Inter fans would disagree with Santo's statement here. A world class hitman, target man, whatever you want to call him, Inzaghi-esque without the over the top celebrations to go with it.
However, in my opinion, these qualities scream one word to me…replaceable. Icardi's contribution on the ball when contributing to the build up of attack is almost non-existing. A lethal goal poacher who lives in the box (yes, i am well aware of the FEW long range goals he has scored) but for the vast majority of his time at Inter, Mauro is not an on the ball type of forward.
We don't know the real story.
When Mauro was stripped of the captaincy mid-season, shockwaves were sent throughout the Inter fanbase.
Who is at fault? Spalletti? Wanda? The Balkan clan? One thing is certain, there were no protests among the camp when Mauro was stripped, a united Inter took to the pitch against a weak Rapid Vienna but looked to be content with the situation.
The matches that followed were a pain in the backside when Mauro featured, often in and out of the squad with no consistency, poor performances masked by a penalty + a nice gesture in giving Ivan Perisic a spot kick momentarily saved faced for the Argentine.
Ultimately though, the damage was done. And this can be found through the never ending, attention seeking antics of Icardi's agent and wife (still sounds stupid) Wanda Nara.
"My husband deserves this, my husband deserves that", not 'my client deserves this'. Imagine all of our precious partners had the authority to speak for us in the workplace, would all of your co-workers value you and your contribution? What about if that partner commenced verbally bashing the work rate and effort of all your co-workers?
But don't let this tirade against Wanda leave you feeling sorry or making excuses for Mauro, a 26 year old full grown adult that was given the responsibility of captaining one of the biggest clubs in the country. Numerous rumours have stated that no one in the squad really felt like Icardi was a 'leader' so to speak. Quiet in the dressing room, dejected after a poor result, often leaving early. Maybe Pablo Osvaldo was onto something a few years back?
To put it simply, your'e either so sick to death of the drama that it outweighs the 100+ goals scored from Mauro, or you are ready to give him (and her) another chance. Me personally, I am one of the fans that is simply over it, and would rather side with the efficiency of the new project put forward by management, while watching Mauro & Wanda become some other clubs problem.
The Price Tag Issue.
This is the doozy, the big one. 12 months ago, Mauro was valued at a minimum release clause of 100 million Euro's. Now it is being reported that Inter are ready to accept bids within the 50-60 region, which to be fair is probably closer to his real value but knowing that we once could have cashed in on triple figures has no doubt left management, the board, and the fans shaken up.
In a day and age where FFP, capital gains and meeting UEFA's silly demands are at an all time high, its understandable that many fans are not ready to part ways with Mauro for the reason of not letting him and Nara get what they want.
So what do they want?
Reports will tell you that they want to stay, other reports will say it's all just a game to bide time and run down the mercato, thus enabling Juventus to come in and get Mauro on the cheap. A move that would no doubt devastate and infuriate Inter fans, and in my opinion, that is exactly what they want.
I refuse to buy into the whole, 'Mauro loves Inter, he only wants Inter' fantasy talk. Wasn't it only before the new year that Mauro had offers from everywhere according to Nara? If we didn't give him (them) the 10 million per season contract they were demanding, they were ready to walk. So any fans still holding on to some sort of dream where the ex-capitano makes a come back and starts banging them in left, right and centre simply need to wake up.
The Replacement.
The talks of a swap between Icardi & Paolo Dybala seems to be losing traction over the last week or so, and for good reason. The longer the Icardashians can keep up this charade, the harder it is for Inter to create a swap deal or even adequately replace the #9.
Romelu Lukaku & Eden Dzeko are the two names constantly in the news headlines. Both bring unique, individual qualities to the table that are admired by Conte and it is no secret that Antonio wants the Belgium (Lukaku) at Inter.
I agree that Romelu reactivating his old form is easier said than done, and that a 70-80 million gamble simply isn't worth it. I believe there are many options available on the market that would be a cheaper alternative to Lukaku, but as i previously mentioned, I am ready to go all in on supporting and backing Conte & Marotta to make the right decisions in this scenario.
Eden Dzeko is an easier decision, YES!
I know i know, 'HuRr DuRr he Is 33' i hear ya. I agree, he is 33. But Dzeko has proven to score goals everywhere he goes, he is assimilated and used to serie A, and can form a formidable bond with a core group of players in the team.
The asking price for Eden is 20-22 million from Roma, but everybody knows we aren't going to scratch the surface of this fee. SKY sports reported as early as today that Inter are not interested in paying more than 10 million cash for Dzeko, with a youngster expected to be included.
These reports seem solid, as this is generally the way Inter have been conducting their transfer business of late (see Barella, Nainggolan, Sensi).
To Conclude.
I get it when Santo & other fans says we are talking about enormous losses in capital gains over 12 months. And i agree that management may need to find a more viable solution than just saying 'Conte says NO' but never in my time as an Inter fan have i seen so much drama and disrespect from such a high profile member of the club. It is simply exhausting, and one must wonder without all the Mauro drama last season, would have we won 2-3 more games and not had to go through the pazza pain?
In regards to Mauro 'Loving the shirt & colours' & players seeing Inter as a 'stepping stone' to a big club (also referencing Cancelo) let's not forget it was technical director Walter Sabatini who put forward the proposal of selling Icardi to make the funds necessary to redeem Cancelo & Rafinha, two players that I believe actually did love the shirt and who vocally made it clear how much they wanted to stay. I remember seeing how dejected Cancelo looked at the airport in Turin, and spent the whole season liking Inter players social media posts while being benched by Allegri & De Sciglio.
'Time will tell, but we need to take a Marotta approach and approach the situation in a calm an collected manner'… couldn't agree more on that one Santo! Thanks for the thought provoking article!

The Women Wing of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo has lauded Gov. Emeka Ihedioha for approving the automatic employment of 4,000 teachers in the state.
The state PDP Women Leader, Mrs Maria Mbakwe, gave the commendation while addressing newsmen on Friday, in Owerri.
Mbakwe, who thanked the governor for the mass recruitment, noted that the employment was in fulfilment of one of his major campaign promises.
She commended Ihedioha's prudence, integrity, transparency and accountability, prompt payment of salaries and pensions of workers as well as execution of capital projects across the state.
Mbakwe also lauded the governor for putting security measures in place, adding that the Ihedioha's efforts in the area of security had kept crime at a very low ebb in the state.
"We sincerely thank the governor for keeping one of his major campaign promises, through the employment of 4,000 teachers and the timely payment of salaries and pensions.
"Also, the security measures put in place by the governor have reduced crime, thus sustaining the position of Imo as one of the most-peaceful states in Nigeria," she said.

A Scottish scientist at the forefront of research into ageing has claimed he can already prolong the life of lab animals and humans could also be drinking from the fountain of youth in future. Professor Gordon Lithgow, who works at the Buck Institute in northern California, features in New National Geographic series Breakthrough. It details the scientific work which is going on in America aimed at slowing the ageing process so people can live healthier for longer. Professor Lithgow, from Newarthill, near Motherwell, identifies agents which can extend lifespan or prevent age-related diseases. His work with microscopic worm Caenorhabditis elegans has discovered a range of factors which can lengthen life. He is one of a number of scientists featured in Breakthrough who are looking to move beyond treating individual diseases and instead treat the ageing process itself.
He says "I came into this field simply as a biologist, thinking aging is just a complete mystery and nobody knows why it happens at different rates in different animals but what has emerged is this deep relationship of what we think of as ageing, these changes that happen throughout life, and disease itself. A big change has been the notion that ageing is actually causing Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and cancer. "The statistic which is striking is that if we cured cancer, all cancers, tomorrow, on average, people would only live three years longer. It's startling and frightening but it's true and that's because the ageing condition is causing all these different pathologies in different tissues and they all come along at the same time really."There is an exponential increase in the incidence of disease with age so that I now realise I am working on disease. I never thought about that before, I had no interest in disease, no interest in humans, frankly, and then the profound shock this ageing process is causing all these chronic, fearful, painful conditions - and here's the really amazing thing, on a daily basis in laboratory animals we are changing ageing, we can slow it down, we can postpone disease pathology, so in the lab we are manipulating this already in a way which tells you there is hope we can do this for people as well."
While the research is exciting, Professor Lithgow says the work will not result in people living for hundreds of years but improve quality of life - and we can already help ourselves with our lifestyle choices.

How to Maximize Your Storage
- Maximize your storage space by using shelving. Use the height of your storage to your advantage.
- Leave space for a center aisle. This will allow you to have easy access to all of your items.
- Place the items you'll need to access most often towards the front of your storage.
- Disassemble all tables, shelves and other furniture and store them on end. Mark and wrap all the pieces and attach all hardware to make re-assembly easier.
- Protect your mattresses and other furniture with pads, covers or blankets.
- Store sofas on their ends to maximize your storage space.
- Clean refrigerators, freezers, washers and dryers before storing and keep the doors slightly ajar. You can also use the space inside for extra storage of such items as blankets, towels, tablecloths and clothes.
- Leave a small space between the wall and your storage items to allow for ventilation.
- Pack your boxes and other items as close together as possible to avoid moisture accumulating between them.
- Use a high quality security lock, preferably a "disc lock", for your unit to keep valuables safe.
- Make an inventory of your stored items and keep it in a safe place at home or in a safe deposit box.
- Stack lighter boxes on top of heavier boxes.
- Place your storage items on 2″ x 4″ boards or an "anti moisture product" to guard against dampness. Any concrete floor may become cold and damp.
- Use furniture with drawers to store knickknacks, china, silverware and small items. Wrap in tablecloths, towels or blankets to prevent breakage.
- Store shovels, hoes, rakes and hoses together in empty trash cans. Stack extra cans inside one another.

There is nothing so compelling as a new idea that's stood the test of time. Philosopher-author Jared Matthew Kessler has reinvented at least two of them -- the Socratic dialogue and the Zen notion that the answer is to be found in the question.
In The Poet and the Billionaire: A Personal Journey of Conversation, Kessler (the poet) conducts an ongoing correspondence with an anonymous guru (the billionaire), who advises a daily Process of self-empowerment by setting goals and attending to every detail with care, love, and commitment.
This little book is full of wit and wisdom and well worth a plane-ride span of your time to digest, although you may be spending the rest of your life working through the insights it stimulates in you.
I do take issue -- kindly, and not adamantly -- with the notion that guru equates with billionaire. I think it's really unfortunate, if not misguided, to think that your run-of-the-mill billionaire has any corner on spiritual insight. Supposedly Richard Branson and Oprah Winfrey are nice people. I would guess that Warren Buffet is a decent sort, although I suspect he's more of a disciplined pragmatist than a philosopher. I would not under any circumstances, however, take personal advice from the likes of Rupert Murdoch or Donald Trump. In the jargon of Hollywood, they are reputed to be attackers, not attractors.
If you carry New Age thinking to its extreme, you begin to wonder, if I'm so spiritual, why ain't I rich? But the corollary question might just as well be, if Mr. X is such a jerk, how come he's so stinking rich?
I'm reminded of that ancient Hippie quip, "There's no reason for anyone to work. The economy is strong enough to support everybody." (Admittedly, this was pre-meltdown, dot-com and real-bubble.)
I wish latter-day philosophers would take some economics courses just as much as I want some health-remedy hawks to take basic chemistry.
So I cringe the same way when I hear Christopher Howard talk about his crash-course in success, Billionaire Boot Camp. If just a few percent more of the world's population were billionaires, the rest of us would be devastated. There's this economic principle called inflation. A loaf of bread would cost a million bucks (as it did in pre-Nazi Germany for awhile), and those of us who aren't spiritual enough to become billionaires would literally starve.

|The hen house portion of the coop was built in my shop. All but
the top came from plywood salvaged from the basement where
they had been used as sliding, closet doors.
|Creating a jig in preparation for cutting a hole in the garage for the nesting boxes.
|It's no trivial matter to cut through the heretofore undisturbed wall of a 100-year old garage.
|I reluctantly had to cut a stud. The nesting boxes are in the garage due to
space considerations, the ability to retrieve the eggs without getting rained on, and
"coolness" factor.
|The nesting boxes. It turns out you only usually need one for 6 or so hens.
|The main wall has 3-way operation. 1. Shutters open to admit light.
Shutters are needed because it is a sunny spot.
