Karin Nilsdotter posits an intriguing idea at TED@BCG: "I believe that space is the next business frontier." Photo: Wolfram Scheible/TED
Tuesday morning in the former East Berlin, the midcentury Kosmos cinema hummed with new ideas on business, technology and self, at an event called TED@BCG. The event was produced by TED Institute, a project that embeds within organizations and companies to help employees develop their ideas. Several hundred BCG'ers and guests filled the main hall for a day of surprising talks hosted by Bruno Giussani. It was, Giussani said, "the first business conference where no one used the word 'pivot.'"
The talks, in chronological order:
BCG head Rich Lesser started the event by talking about the change he's seen just this year in businesses' attitude toward new technology. "Technology used to be something that happened 'over there,'" he said, in labs, outside the world of companies. "But the conversation…

So I'm finally back with a new show me your style post here on the blog.
So as you guys, maybe know these "show me your style" posts are actually one of my favorite things to post here on blog, and I finally interviewed my best friend Anna here. But this time there will be a new little add to the post, if you scroll down you can see the video of the interview that we did.
And I must admit that I really enjoy making Youtube videos lately, and I have been thinking about taking Youtube a little more seriously, so hehe stay tuned, and remember to subscribe and all that jazzz 😉
But if you wanna see more of Anna's cute style just keep scrolling.
Anna Lyhne
Studying Biotechnology in Copenhagen, with a love for cats and everything green.
Describe your style in three words.
Sustainable, cosy, and with a twist of Harry Potter
What are you wearing right now?
Pants from Monki, coat from Cos, boots from Dr. Martens, and the first bag my mom ever bought when she was young.
What is most important to you in an outfit?
The shoes, it's all about the shoes.
Who/what inspires you the most in terms of your style?
I guess my mom does, she has been a big influence and has the largest shoe collection I have ever seen. People and things around me are also a big inspiration.
Favourite brands?
That would be Dr. Martens. Most of my Dr. Martens shoes are thrifted and the same goes for my clothes.
What has been your biggest style failure?
When I was young I tried to dress kind of alternatively and it was not a success. It didn't fit me and it didn't reflect who I was properly.
Do you have any favourite items in your wardrobe?
My coat, my black jeans, and my shoe collection that primarily consists of Dr. Martens boots.
Which items do you dream of owning?
None, I have everything I need.
What is your best style tip?
Choose a colour or a statement piece when putting together an outfit and finish it of with a pair of black boots.
But remember to do whatever works for you – and don't let other people tell you what's wrong or right. If you want to wear six colours at the same time, do it!
Thanks to Anna

Hi; I would like to use your product (s) to display oscillograms in museum applications. These require large displays (VGA-LCD-20 Inch+) and usually low bandwidth (voiceband). The function needs to operate standalone, boot up and run on power up. The application will probably have an embedded controller which could issue some start up commands if there is the right means to do so (e.g. serial port).
Any adivice appreciated. Raj

For the past few months, various comments from Sega have people hoping for a Western release of Yakuza 3 bummed. Today, however, things are sounding a little more optimistic.
Popping into the comments section of a post on the PlayStation Blog, Sega of America assistant community manager Aaron Webber has said "Yakuza 3 is not cancelled – and the possibility for localizing it does, in fact, still exist."
"The original news story that went around about Yakuza 3 being declined for the US was false, and localizing the game still remains a big point of discussion for many people here at SEGA, and especially those of us on SEGA's community team."
"I know it's far from an announcement, but I just felt you should know that the chance does still exist."
Nice. For what it's worth, here's what we've heard: that Sega are looking for somebody else to localise the game, take the risk, similar to how Capcom handles the release of GTA in Japan.

the meat. They dried the skins to make blankets and houses.
One June day Captain Lewis was walking ahead of the boats. He heard a great noise up the River. He pushed on fast. After walking seven miles, he came to the great Falls of the Missouri. He was the first white man to see these Falls. He sat down on a rock and watched the water dash and spray. He tried to draw a picture of the Falls. He tried to write about it in his book. But he said it was so wonderful that he could not draw it well nor picture it in words. When the men came up, they could not take their boats near the Falls. The Falls are very, very high. The highest fall is eighty-seven feet high, and the water comes down with a great rush. So the soldiers had to go around the Falls. That was a long, long way. It would be hard to carry all their things around the Falls. The captains said, "We will make a cache here. "We will put in the skins and plants

February 19, 2017, marks the 75th anniversary of Executive Order 9066, the notorious wartime directive that authorized the internment of Japanese citizens and American citizens of Japanese heritage living in the Western United States. This exhibition explores Noguchi's extraordinary decision—despite being exempt from internment as a resident of New York—to enter the Poston War Relocation Center, in the Arizona desert, hoping to contribute something positive to this forcibly displaced community, to which he had never felt more connected. In Noguchi's words, "Thus I willfully became part of humanity uprooted."
Curated by Noguchi Museum Senior Curator Dakin Hart, Self-Interned, 1942 brings together about two dozen works from the Museum's collection, dating from before, during, and after Noguchi's time at Poston, along with a substantial selection of archival documents. Together these evoke this harrowing moment in the history of American democracy, while revealing the impact

NORTHCREEK-Tannery Pond Community Center will continue its tradition of providing the region with a wide sampling of classical music and bring Classicopia back to its performance hall. The exciting chamber music group is based in New Hampshire and returns to North Creek Saturday, May 14 at 7:30 p.m., with a program called "Brahms and the Blues."
Artistic Director and pianist Daniel Weiser returns with two young stars from the prestigious Indiana University School of Music - violinist Rachel Patrick and French horn player John Reem.
The program will include the passionate Horn Trio by Johannes Brahms as well as some blues-inspired works by Gershwin, Ravel, and African-American composer William Grant Still. Both Patrick and Reem have already performed across the U.S., in Europe, and Japan.
Patrick has won numerous competitions and recently released her first CD, with music by Strauss, Ravel and more. Weiser, who was a founding member of the Adirondack Ensemble, recently moved to Asheville, North Carolina where he is expanding Classicopia's reach into Western North Carolina. Classicopia was co-founded by Weiser and President Marcia Colligan in 2001 in Hanover, New Hampshire and has performed over 350 concerts in New England and beyond since that time.
This ever-changing ensemble is dedicated to presenting the highest quality chamber music in intimate venues and non-traditional spaces with the aim of breaking down all artificial barriers between audience and performers.
At every concert, Weiser tells interesting stories about the composers and music to be performed and sets up a relaxed and informal atmosphere that promotes a more complete enjoyment and understanding of the works that are heard. Each program is a different combination of great young performers, ranging from vocal concerts to four-hand piano to various chamber music with strings, winds, or brass.
This is chamber music the way it was meant to be heard - in a beautiful, intimate space with the energy and vitality it needs and deserves, according to Thomas Forrest of Upper Hudson Musical Arts.
The concert is presented by Upper Hudson Musical Arts. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for students. For more information, call 681-1715 or visit www.upperhudsonmusicalarts.org. The concert is made possible in part with funds from The New york State Council on the Arts, a State agency. For more information on Classicopia, visit www.classicopia.org.

A television debut is still a huge deal. Players are used to having friends and family supporting them at venues but the chance for wider exposure somehow makes all the hours and hours spent practising worthwhile.
It is proof that what they tell hairdressers, opticians and folk down the pub is actually true: they really are professional snooker players and, to prove it, you can tune in and watch them.
It can, of course, go one of two ways.
Martin Clark made his TV debut at the 1987 International against Dennis Taylor, winner of the World Championship two years earlier and the reigning Wembley Masters champion.
The result: Clark beat Taylor 5-0.
All too common, though, the debutant freezes. And it's understandable. They're not used to the cameras, the crowds or the increased pressure placed upon them.
This is particularly true of players who have spent almost all of their careers mired in the qualifiers in claustrophobic cubicles in front of the proverbial one man and his dog (and not always the dog).
The TV arenas take some getting used to, nowhere more than the forbidding Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.
I recall a Scottish professional, John Lardner, playing there one year and remarking afterwards that the TV cameras were so close that they 'felt like Daleks.'
I seem to remember he was actually exterminated by Stephen Lee.
Ken Doherty told me that the first time he played at the Crucible he spent the first four frames in a daze, looking around the arena, not believing he was there.
Needless to say he went to the interval 4-0 down.
Some players have to wait many years into their professional careers before appearing before the cameras and it hasn't always been the experience they were hoping for.
In the case of Ken Owers, a journeyman pro of the 1980s, his debut on ITV consisted of one frame in the recorded highlights.
Owers appeared on screen only once: a cutaway of him sat in his chair before the cameras panned back to show his opponent, Neal Foulds, clearing up to beat him.
There's a good crop of new young professionals who have joined the tour this year. The qualifying set up is a jungle but it was ever thus.
I hope some of them make it through and show the world what they are made of.
Appearing on TV is a source of great pride for players and something that you can always look back on.
That said, Joe Johnson's kids taped over much of his 1986 world title triumph with 'He-Man: Masters of the Universe' so it's advisable to be careful where you store the recording.
30 comments:
John Lardner was 2-7 down to Stpehen Lee at the Crucible in 1999, and end up came back to 7-9 before losing the 17th frame. Not a shame at all.

I notice you are commentating on the ladies world pool final Dave.
The current world pool rules allow deliberate fouls to be played. When I first played these rules I felt it was unnatural and it took me some time to get used to them.
Now I love them and think its time for snooker to adopt the deliberate foul or DF.
As the rules stand at the moment a player can play a DF and make it look like an accident. If theres no way back to baulk for instance, a player can catch the red a bit thick and go in-off.
Now I know theres a facility for the referee to judge on this kind of carry on, but it never happens.
There is also the situation where a player, maybe 12 behind on the yellow with the blue, pink and black on cushions, attempts to pot the yellow, misses and leaves his opponent in a fiendish snooker, then comes back to the table 12 in front as a result of his opponents unsuccessful escape attempts.
The DF would add a new tactical dimension to the game. If the non fouler doesn't like the position he can ask the fouler to play again.
It cuts out those irritating breaks in play where the ref has to check the monitor(wheres the remote) and eliminates all ambiguity regarding intention, and ends the dreaded miss rule once and for all

Dave mentioned Lardner in relation to cameras looking like Daleks and not because he flopped on his debut.

Good article this & one which can create many good disussion points....
I remember Ronnie O'Sullivan playing at the Crucible for the first time & getting beat against Alan McManus something like 10-7 / 10-8
With no disrespect to Alan McManus meant here, Ronnie couldn't work out how badly he played & how he missed so many easy balls.
I again remember Ronnie O'Sullivan making his debut in Wembley in the B&H & playing Dennis Taylor in the prelim down there on the Sunday morning. I told everyone & their mother how good this kid was & to get down there & watch him, which they did. Again, he couldn't put a ball & got beat fairly comfortably something like 5-1.
I think....for players playing in front of the cameras for the first time, the analogy of 'rabbits being caught in the headlights' can quite easily be used here.
Footballers used to speak about the roar they hear coming up the Wembley tunnel & how players froze when they heard the wall of sound, which was what some Footballers referred to it too. Its the same methodology here. If your not mentally prepared & haven't got your tunnel vision on so to speak, get ready to start living the regrets & 'what might have been's.'

I am sure Joe J took it with good humour.
Either by belching out his latest
chart hit or simply declaring....
Also look forward to seeing if
Rory McLeod can translate his practice form into a TV match win.
World Open & PTC Finals should
produce new players (to the audience) & give them a chance to make a name for themselves.

The ultimate mid-80s TV day,
He-Man,Knight Rider & Snooker !
In fact,watching Snooker for just one hour can do more your arithmetic skills than 3 whole years at infant school !(true)
It made school ''maths'' seem so much easier in comparison - so a big thanks to Snooker for that !
- 7:07 pm
605 is obviously as bright as a blackout.
i complained about who had posted the new comments AFTER noticing the amount of comments had risen since my last visit
you cant tell who posted what until you open up, only to find its the same regurgitated fine art rubbish, no matter the blog subject!

A secret is wasted if not shared
Hi Dave
This is a good blog lad! I hope it's not spoiled by the negative comments by the Mr X @ 6:05 pm. I have always presumed the anonymity we enjoy was for "Shy and Bashful" people interested in the joy of snooker not as a hiding place for adverse comment.
May I make myself clear Dave! Mr 6 05 pm does not intimidate "Hey You" but sadly there is the strong possibility that the one sided conflict is lessoning the enjoyment of other members and for this I sincerely apologise.
I would be grateful if Mr X would refrain from using the "Past Tense" without proof of permission.
Take care Dave and may the balls run kindly. Mr Hey You
- 1:27 pm
Anon 6.05 pm/2.32 am - The same person no doubt,agreeing with himself (how sad)
Mr Hey You has followed Snooker for 70 or 80 years,has actually coached afew players in his time & obviously loves the game - I don't always agree with his subject matter - But I respect him.
I have followed Snooker for
25 years since the 'golden era' &
now into the 'new golden era',
I have watched thousands of matches,seen hundreds of tournaments,practice at my local snooker club,been to snooker live at various venues - while being self-employed & having other activities to fill my time.
I also respect other regular contributors who display their name & have an opinion & a story to tell.
Not all,but many Anon's who send in critical one-liners,make wild accustaions about the game or swear - obviously have issues with themselves & we can't help them.

- Dave H said...
Indeed, Joe
I shall be there and shall post my thoughts on it after it is launched, but not before
- 2:40 pm
chris, i am neither of those two anonymous posters, though i have to disagree with you WRT the putting a small name next to posts.
it matters not a jot to me if i am replying to the same person each time or not. i reply to blog posts, or to comments about the blog, regardless of what the wee name bit says. (and i do not care if its the same person time and again or not)
also, because someone follows snooker for decades doesnt make their POV or opinion less valuable than someone of only a few years experience. facts are facts no matter the length of time a fan, and opinions and points of view are as valid as anyone elses.
likewise, if a player plays for 10 years in a club but keeps practising the same mistakes, not knowing they are mistakes, then i wouldnt go to him for advice before going to someone with less experience who is better.
remember, everyone posting here is not perfect, but if you put your point on a public site and post things that are wrong, lies or just plain silly, youre open to be corrected.
- 2:58 pm
its a novelty event they got their place but unless players are women like that girl promoting it then it wont last.
- 3:28 pm
Hi Dave,
Yup, I've already been filled in on it.
Should be fun tomorrow...
Look forward to see what you think of it.
Thanks, Joe
- 3:43 pm
Joe - (I HAVE THE) Power Snooker is about to launch ?
It all makes sense now.
Would be cool if the players dressed up as He-Man,Spiderman,
Darth Vader,Superman & we have to guess who it is by their build &
cue action !
Seriously,I look forward to reading what wacky gimmicks or
novelty this event will entail !
- 3:55 pm
Another website has 'leaked' details of the Power Snooker format already & I am impressed !
What are you going to do
with them Dave ?!
Still,I look forward to reading what the gospel of Snooker blogs
has to say about it all tomorrow !

Well I respect press embargoes

Mr. Chris have followed Snooker for 25 years but is incapable of understanding a fairly simple rolling ranking system. That's all.

For the record they actually thanked me for doing the short piece and didn't mention an embargo. And that girl isn't their promoter!!
- 5:23 pm
Anon - Yes,myself,World Snooker,
Global Snooker,Pro Snooker have yet to publish a definitive list,
Matt might have got it spot on originally - until he then added
future starting pts which don't yet count.
Dave - I think the 'Telly Addicts'
column & subsequent blog comments
gave away all the subliminal clues
for the next announcement !
Well done to all of us !

I don't believe in subliminal clues

PR 65 - Pereira (BRA) and Alshammar (SWE) reinforce their lead
Thiago Pereira (BRA) and Therese Alshammar (SWE) reinforced their lead of the overall ranking of the FINA/ARENA Swimming World Cup 2010, after a successful fourth leg of the competition in Tokyo (JPN) on October 20-21. Pereira, who won the men's 100m and 400m individual medley was the fourth best performer of the meet, and is at the top of the men's classification with 88 points. Alshammar, who triumphed in the women's 50m and 100m butterfly, established the most valuable performance of the competition in the 100m, and leads the ranking of this World Cup with 80 points.
Among men, Japan collected eight gold medals at home, with the best male result going to Takeshi Matsuda in the 200m butterfly (1:50.64 – 959 FINA Points). Besides Pereira's two wins, the remaining titles went to Australia (two by Kyle Richardson in the 50m and 100m free), South Africa (Roland Schoeman was the best in the 50m breaststroke and 50m butterfly), USA (Peter Marshall, 100m backstroke), Germany (Steffen Deibler, 100m butterfly), and Austria (Markus Rogan, 200m individual medley).
In the women's field, the Japanese domination was clear, with also eight victories. The most valuable performance for the home stars went to Aya Terakawa in the 200m backstroke (2:03.62, 918 FINA Points and third best female result of this leg). The team of United States was also quite successful, with four gold medals (two for Julia Smit, and one for Jessica Hardy and Elaine Breeden). Besides Alshammar, her teammate Jennie Johansson gave another victory for Sweden in the 50m breaststroke, while Hinkelien Schreuder (NED, 50m free) and Marieke Guehrer (AUS, 100m free) were the remaining winners of this Japanese leg.
The last three meets of the FINA/ARENA Swimming World Cup 2010 will now take place in Europe.

The last few days. especially today, my pain has been so bad that nothing helped. I took my meds earlier than I was supposed to. I used pain creams, a heating pad, everything I could think of. I cried all day long. I have been on Cymbalta for a few months as I said in another post. My depression has just worsened. I ran out Friday and I meant to call the Dr. but I didn't due to problems at home, so today the tears just would not stop. I did not know you could dry that much. I finally got off the couch and called the Dr, and she said they could work me in at 4:15. So I went and told the Dr. everything. I told him my pain was so bad there was no relief. I told him I was so depressed I could not stop crying. I told him my DH has Alzhiemers and that he expects me to stay home with him 24/7 and about
the fights we have been having.
See, my Dh watches tv 16 hours a day and sleeps 8 hours. Same routine every day. He expects me to make his coffee, bring it to him, cokk his meals, bring them to him, pick up his dishes and take to the kitchen. The only thing I don't do for him is pee for him. He knows I'm in pain, but it's all about
him.He has no physical pain, no arthritis, no injuries. He has copd and Alzheimers. My body is probably is probably 20 years older than his altho he is 70 and I'm 60.
He is always badmouthing my DS and DGC behind their back, but to my sons face he eats him up. He calls him a user because my son wants me to pick up the kids occasionally. He gripes about
the gas I use to pick them up. When they are here, he watches everything they eat or drink and says they waste. He blames me because his grandkids don't come much. He is jealous of mine. All the fights we ever have are over the way he treats my son and grandkids. He thinks his 3 kids can do no wrong. Sure my son is here more then his are. His kids go to their mothers a lot more than they come here. That is normal. But I can't convince him of that.
Meanwhile, I think I am having a nervous breakdown. I can't leave him because of the disease he has. I will take care of him.
My doc wants to send me to a Phsychiatrist. He changed my anti to Lexapro. Has anyone taken this and what were the results?
If I don't do something, I will die, I thi nk.`

Hi there,
I've no doubt the mods and others here will have some excellent things to share with you. All I can think of to say is to tell you that you don't have to let your husband treat you that way. You can just say "No." "No, get your own dinner. I am in too much pain right now." "No, I am not going to listen to you bad mouth our son," and leave the room. Dr. Phil always says "You teach people how to treat you."
Maybe your husband is used to being the centre of things, and he just needs to have some help to tune into the fact that others around him have feelings and needs too. Some - but not all men seem to have a paradigm that the wives are there to serve them, but really marriage is meant to be a two way street, and I think you deserve a break. It is not easy to say 'no' to people who try to make you feel guilty for it, and maybe he won't like it, but you need to take care of you. Just remember you do have a choice, and you can set some positive things in motion - whether he likes it or not. Follow your heart...maybe he can help you make meals? I don't know to what extent his health is affecting him - but could you assign him simple tasks so it becomes more about
an 'us' than 'him?' Maybe just making small changes at first could begin to give you a glimmer of hope. I don't blame you for crying and feeling down with what you are coping with. If you can begin to see where you have the power to make some changes, maybe that will help you feel a bit more hopeful.
I do hope you will feel better soon. Glad you were able to share with yoru doctor all you have been going through, and hopefully he knows of a good psychiatrist - (make sure you find one that is approachable and not too stuffy you know?
Talking to a psych. or a good therapist could be a great outlet for some of the intensity of what you are dealing with.
I don't know what kind of pain you suffer from but I recently discovered peppermint oil (essential oil). Rub it on sore muscles, use it for headaches (rub on forehead or back of neck - where the pain is - I tried it a coupel times and was amazed at how well it works. It stops pain and is also anti-inflammatory I believe.
take good care of you and God bless.

Dear Pain
I am so sorry for what you are going through,you have so much on your plate and it is not fair at all.
I have a serious question,where are his children? Do they understand how he is?
I think it is time for you to ask for help. Call his kids and tell them you need them to come over at least a couple times a week and help take care of their father. Let them know that you are in alot of pain and can't keep this up right now.
Also, I would google Alzheimers,put in your town and see if there are any support groups out there...and it might be time to contact his doctor and let him know what is going on. Maybe they can arrange for a nurse to come to the house a couple times a week.
I do not understand why this man has decided that you are his personal maid,and I do not know what stage his disease is...
There is nothing wrong about
asking for help..everyone needs a little help sometimes.
Lexapro is a good med. Keep in mind it does take 4-6 weeks to take full effect,you are going to have to be really strong during this time.
Please think about
getting help for your family and remember we will be here for you whenever you need us.

Thank you for your replies! It is so nice to hear some encouraging words. I am praying the Lexapro works, and yes, ny Dr. has made me an appointment with a Phychiatrist to help me with my depression. I told my DH I would be seeing him and he asked me if I am crazy. You know that is what most people assume anyway. But I am going to look at it a way to save my life from the suffering I am going through. Maybe then my body won't be racked with pain like it is now. It has been amplified lately with all the stress I have. I have so many illnesses. I'm sure I have mentioned them before.
Thanks again for your concern. Sometimes it just seems that if someone put their arms around me and asked what can I do to help you? would be so soothing to my needs.
I'm not sure that will happen in my family. His 3 grown kids don't ever say , hey thank you for taking such good care of my Dad. Thank you for letting me go on with my selfish life and not have to do anything in the way of caretaking. Oh well, sorry for the rant. Thanks for being a friend and listening!

I started reading the Motley Fool web pages early this year and they convinced me that I need to first get out of debt, create a savings account and then begin investing slowly. Well, by golly, step one is officially DONE - I mailed my last payment off to my last credit card company. It took me eight months to pay off two of them ($2,000) and a remaining couple of months to pay off the last one ($500). I curbed my spending, worked at night to make extra money, and stopped CHARGING completely. I feel good, dananana! I have a plan in place to begin an interest bearing savings account and will start seriously researching investing info to begin hopefully in 6-8 months! Thanks Fool, for helping me on the road to success!

A decade ago, the Syracuse University basketball team went on a run through March Madness that ended with an 81-78 victory over Kansas in the NCAA championship game. See a photo essay from the 2003 season In the Louisiana Superdome, on the same court where Keith Smarts last-second shot had denied Syracuse a national title back in 1987, Syracuse finally won its first NCAA championship.
A season that had started with a young and unranked Syracuse squad losing to Memphis at Madison Square Garden had ended with One Shining Moment in New Orleans.
All of the key moments from the season are here in this timeline of Syracuses 2002-03 national championship season. Timeline for the 2002-2003 championship season This game-by-game timeline includes stories and photos for the 35 games of the championship season. (Heres a full-screen version too.) A few tips:
- Headlines link to the game stories/photos.
- Clicking on the arrows on the left and right takes you through the timeline. (On some browsers the arrows only appear when you hover over the timeline.)

Charles Phoenix is many things: author, comedian, pop culture pundit, and…cuisine creator,…edible inventor,…nosh designer?
At Galco's 2nd Annual Summer Soda Tasting on July 22nd, which benefits the Friends of the Southwest Museum Coalition (FoSMC), Phoenix will unveil his latest test kitchen creation, a 7-layer soda pop rock cake, made with sodas and candies found at Galco's Soda Pop Stop.
Owner John Nese took his father's long-time Italian grocery store and transformed it into an Elysium of soda pop. Nese's motto is "Freedom of Choice" in response to the mass-produced, big boy corporations that we all know so well. He chooses to stock his store with small-batch, exotic and rare sodas from Brazil, Jamaica, Germany, and Australia. Flavors range from cucumber, coconut, jasmine, and elderflower to traditional colas, ginger beers, and sarsaparillas.
Old Dominion Root Beer, "based on a historical recipe from the Library of Congress," will be available on July 22nd, and Nese will present Galco's new white rose flavored soda.
Dublin Bottling Works will reveal its West Coast line of sodas, as will the company Rieme, which has been creating French sodas since 1921. Live stand-up is in the hands of Native American comedian Dakota Black, and the live music showcase features Don & Bunk (original members of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention), Artichoke, Mele Ohana Ukeulele Ensemble, Greger Walnum Blues Band, and Genesee Hall.
All proceeds will go to FoSMC and Nese says he is "pleased to be a part of the Friends of the Southwest Museum, fighting to have Los Angeles' first museum, as well as the Casa de Adobe, opened once again to the public full-time—and permanently."
Galco's Summer Soda Tasting 2
Sunday, July 22nd, 5-8 p.m.

Tickets: $12 in advance; $15 day of the event.

Screen Sense Key Findings
Explore the key findings from our authoritative review on the effect of screen media on young children's learning and development.
The research is clear: Children learn better and more efficiently from play and interaction in the "real," three-dimensional (3-D) world with parents, caregivers, and peers. The fact is, however, that young children now grow up in a world of technology—screens are everywhere. Not only are they enticing, children see their parents and teachers using screens, so naturally they are drawn to them. While there is no research showing that when children younger than 2 years old use these devices independently it enhances their development, research also shows that when parents and other trusted adults make screen use an interactive, shared experience, it can become a tool for learning, and the potential negative effects can be reduced. This resource provides guidelines for parents and caregivers of children younger than 3 years on how to use screens in ways that minimize the potential negative effects and maximize learning.

At Fiberart International I liked several works made of paper, in addition to the piece by Eszter Bornemisza I wrote about last week. The approaches are widely different, but they're all pretty much white.
The artist sewed folded strips of paper into a complex construction that sprawls over the wall resembling a growing organism (the work references her struggle with cancer and apparently the raw material is paperwork accumulated along the way).
The delicate dress is sewed from felted Korean mulberry paper.

Hi Kathleen,ReplyDelete
Thanks for including my artwork! The block is a photo image of my hand embroidered Kantha stitching. I liked the "messy" side as it had more character:>) The red squares were incised with a copper tjap made for batik, that was dipped in red wax. I am thrilled to have my artwork in Fiberarts International!!

Sandy -- thanks for the clarification -- I knew it was the back of something but couldn't tell what.Delete
although I would be happy to look at the front side of the work, the back is certainly much more interesting!! these are lovely works.

The return of gray wolves has dramatically altered the landscape in portions of Yellowstone National Park, as new trees take root in areas where the predators have curbed the size of foraging elk herds, according to scientists in a new study.
Stands of aspen, willow and cottonwood are expanding in areas where for decades dense elk populations prevented new growth, said study author William Ripple from Oregon State University.
While other factors may play a role, from a changing climate to wildfires, more than a decade of research has confirmed earlier assertions that the return of Yellowstone's elk-hungry wolves has spurred new plant growth, he said.
The findings from Ripple and co-author Robert Beschta will be published in the scientific journal Biological Conservation. The study already has been released online.
Wolves are "apex predators, on top of the food web," Ripple said. "They're more than just charismatic animals that are nice to have around. We're finding that their function in nature is very important."
Wolves have spin-off benefits, too, the researchers said: As trees grow taller, the stands provide more habitat for yellow warblers and other songbirds and more food for beavers, which in turn construct ponds that attract fish, reptiles and amphibians.
The phenomenon has been described as a "landscape of fear" in which a predator's pursuit of prey has a cascading effect across the ecosystem.
Wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone from Canada in 1995 and 1996 after being killed off early last century. About 100 now roam the park, thinning elk herd numbers as they feast on the big game animals year-round.
Other studies have indicated a single wolf can kill several elk or more each month during the winter.
Some scientists dispute the claim that wolves have sparked a restoration among Yellowstone's aspen.
In a 2010 study, U.S. Geological Survey scientist Matthew Kauffman agreed that foraging elk were the leading cause of the trees' decline in the park over more than a century. But Kauffman said the decline has continued since wolves returned, even in areas considered risky to elk because they are frequented by the predators.
That's because elk alter their behavior only slightly to avoid wolves, concluded Kauffman, who also heads the Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. Although elk numbers are down by about two-thirds in some areas of the park, herd numbers would have to drop even more for aspen to recover, Kauffman said.
Aaron Wirsing, a University of Washington biologist who studies predators' effects on ecosystems, said more than 15 years after wolves first came back to Yellowstone, the debate surrounding their impact continues to stir disagreement.
Others have said the work by Ripple and Beschta has not given enough credit to factors such as drought and stream levels. Wirsing said those other factors should not be ignored but added that the emerging consensus is wolves play a central role in the park's landscape.
"The weight of the evidence is certainly coming down in favor of wolves having a particularly profound impact on aspects of Yellowstone's ecosystem," he said.
Studies on other predators have found similar top-down effects on their surroundings. With fewer lions, researchers said increasing numbers of baboons in sub-Saharan Africa are pushing into settled areas where they raid farmers' crops more frequently and can spread intestinal parasites to humans. And fewer sharks along the East Coast has led to more rays, which in turn eat more scallops, wiping out some local fisheries.
One difference in those studies and the work in Yellowstone is that in most other cases, scientists have been left to study what was lost when a predator was gone. In the park, scientists have been able to track what happens after the predator came back.
"Being able to look back retrospectively gets us very close to being able to determine the impact of wolves," Wirsing said.
Ripple said the results of his work with Beschta suggest wolves also could have positive effects outside Yellowstone. More than 1,600 gray wolves now live in the Northern Rockies, and elk numbers have dropped as a result.
But given the backlash wolves have encountered among some ranchers and elk hunters, more research needs to be done to determine how many of the animals are needed to be an "ecologically effective" population, Ripple said.
"The question is, how many wolves does it take?" he said.

Ever since the start in 1866, WJ Towell Group has been focusing on improving the lives of many in the community within education, health and housing. The welfare of the employees is also of great importance.
During the last two years the Towell Group has arranged regular Health Weeks for all employees in the Head office building in Ghala. This is one of many projects for the Towell group employees and includes everything from healthy information on food, from fitness centers, hospitals and Oman Cancer Association to learn the basic in yoga and donate blood.
For the first time for the Towell Group, overweight people and with a will to change their lives were invited to participate in a competition running for six months. The Towell Group found a suitable and knowledgeable partner in the International Medical Center Sugar Apollo Specialized Centre for Diabetology, Endocrinology along with Dermatology, Ophthalmology, MRI & Others located in Ruwi, Muscat. The centre has professional staffs who are dedicated to help people with life style diseases. One important factor is also to share information on risk factors to people in Oman.
A program for the contestants was put together for those who were willing to start a more healthy way of living. The program included assessment, regular monitoring and a strict diet to follow. The program has become a great success and some of the contestants have lost between 10 to 30 kg's.
The winners were revealed and congratulated at an event in the hospital where officials from both parties were attending. Ms Sumaira, Dietitian at Sugar-Apollo executed the 6 month "weight loss program" and briefed about healthy eating habits and achievements of the program. Dr. Binu P Pillai-Specialist Endocrinologist and Dr. Praveen-Diabetologist were the medical support and gave brief information on diabetes and life style diseases related to obesity.
The prices were handed over by the GM of Systems and Resources with WJ Towell; Mr Ali Abdul Hussain Shaban and the Dr. Dilip Singhvi(Medical Director-Apollo Hospital Muscat) to the happy and proud winners of which Mr Mohammed Darwish Al Belushi working for Enhance was the winner by losing 33,4 kg in six months.

Independence Day
It's time to observe Dependence DayJuly 03, 2013
Sure, let's celebrate the Fourth of July. Gorge ourselves on commemorative carcinogens and empty carbs. Blow stuff up day and night. Do whatever we always do, for as long and as loud as we like. But next year, I hope some of those collective energies can be reallocated in support of my exciting holiday initiative — Dependence Day.

We report on high resolution subsurface and material specific differentiation of silica, Au and silica-capped Au nanoparticles using scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) in the visible (λ=633 nm) and mid-infrared (λ=10.7 μm) frequencies. Strong optical contrast is observed in the visible wavelength, mainly because of the dipolar plasmon resonance of the embedded Au nanoparticles which is absent in the infrared. We show that the use of small tapping amplitude improves the apparent image contrast in nanoparticles by causing increased tip-particle and reduced tip-substrate interactions. Experimental results are in excellent agreement with extended dipole model calculations modified to include the capping layer characterized by its refractive index.

Chapter 18: "The Bardo of Becoming" Summary
Sogyal notes that if one fails to reach enlightenment during the bardo of dharmata, one falls into unconsciousness, and enters the bardo of becoming. With failure to recognize the Ground Luminosity and bardo of dharmata, habitual tendencies reawaken. In this bardo, the mind is no longer limited by the physical body, and thus, can be reborn into different realms. One's karma determines the direction of the mind, in that the winds of karma reappear, as do the thought states of ignorance, desire, and anger. One then forms a mental body, similar to the body one had in life, which possess all senses, is light, lucid, mobile, seven times more aware than in life, and able to read the minds of the living. Any physical or mental deficit in life is no longer present...
