Don Juan in Soho
In Happyville, everyone is genetically edited, except for one headstrong young woman who upsets the belief that only perfection brings happiness and compels the town to embrace imperfection.
- Concept development Started in June 2011
- TEST – Book and lyrics February 2014
- Composition and arrangement September 2014
- Workshop I – sing-through September 25, 2014
- Workshop II – staged run-through January 9, 2015
- Final product March 2015
- First public performance February 20, 2016 at Scala Basel
Act One
The show begins with Luke, whose life has been extended to 130 years thanks to genetic optimization, committing suicide. When he ascends to the terrace of the Gods, the Gods send him back to find out why humanity is procreating in mysterious ways. Luke goes to Happyville, where he meets the young and headstrong Sophie, the only person in the town who has not been genetically optimized. She is an expert hacker, which is her way to escape the overly happy town and its optimized inhabitants. Sophie tells Luke that she wants to get out of Happyville and see what the real world is like. Luke realizes that Sophie could be useful in helping him to discover who is behind the genetic optimization. Meanwhile, the genetically optimized twins Tony and Alex both fall in love with Sophie. Alex loves her secretly, ashamed to declare his love. Tony, the more dynamic of the two twins, openly declares his love for her. Sophie falls for Tony, though she has some doubts. Meanwhile, the spiked-haired Tina laments the death of her brother Tim, who grew up in a medical bubble in a hospital because he had a rare genetic disease. As a savior sibling, she was unable to save her brother.
Act Two
In the second act, Sophie runs away from her father, who is not happy about the love story between her and Tony. The town sends out a search party to find her, and from her hiding place Sophie observes that Alex finally declares his love for her as well. Luke, meanwhile, finds Sophie, and she helps him to hack into the computers of Dr. Cunningham, who is behind the genetic optimization in Happyville. Luke and Sophie discover that Dr. Cunningham's success rate was very low, and that no one in Happyville was actually optimized. They only believe they were. Sophie reveals this information to the town, and the citizens react by sending Cunningham into exile. Sophie now decides to leave Happyville, but before she does she hands Alex her necklace, indicating her love for him. Thanks to Sophie, the people of Happyvile realize that they can be happy without optimization as they learn to embrace imperfection.
SOPHIE – the organic girl – early twenties
Sophie is a headstrong yet obedient family girl who works with her father at his organic vegetable stand. She is not shy, but she has a fierce independence streak that has kept her from making many friends. She prefers to go deep into her computers (she is an adept hacker) rather than deep into human relationships. She and her father are the only non-genetically manipulated persons in Happyville. She hates the überhappiness of Happyville. The computer is her only way out. She hacks other computers around the world. She is intrigued by the rest of the world's misery and battles, and by fame and power. She wants to learn more about the glory and grandeur of the world, as well as about the dark, mysterious adventures offered by life.
TONY – designer baby – male – mid-twenties
Tony was designed to be perfect. Good-looking, a perfect body, good social skills, intelligent and a winning athlete, he is also a good, trusted friend. He is idolized and envied, but is also under tremendous pressure to be perfect and meet expectations. Deep inside Tony suffers. It's hard to be the Golden Boy, living his perfect life for perfecting the life of others. Tony has always felt lonely, in spite of a large circle of friends and numerous girlfriends. He feels he is loved only due to his "perfectness"; no one is interested in his weaknesses, fears or sorrows. His secret dream is to be"normal" – with flaws and weaknesses, loved as who he is – like his identical twin brother. Tony arrives back in Happyville after a successful stint in Hollywood. But he only wants to find his "home," ideally back in Happyville.
ALEX – designer baby – mid-twenties
Alex is Tony's identical twin brother. While designing their dream child, Tony and Alex's parents decided they wanted to have two of them "since it's good to have a spare." Alex was brought up exactly like Tony, but chose early on not to fulfill the role of a Golden Boy. He is a rougher version of Tony. He is a quiet, introverted tough guy, but a good-hearted, honest young man. Alex works at Sophie's father's organic vegetable store. He is secretly in love with Sophie. But she sees him only as an old and trusted friend of hers. Alex is afraid that Sophie will reject him. He has chosen not to confess his love. His aloneness, toughness and withdrawal from the Happyvillers are his protective layer for his melancholic heart.
The big step he needs to take is to let the whole world – and especially Sophie – know that he loves her.
BUBBLE BOYS – gene therapy targets – male –20 to 30 years old
The Bubble Boys are three young men who suffered from X-SCID (immunodeficiency). They have lived most of their lives in bubbles in a hospital, protecting them from germs and viruses. These bubbles were placed next to each other in the same room, giving the boys the chance to keep each other company. They are best friends, lovable and nice guys. Gene therapy helped them get out of the bubble when they were in their early 20s. They are eager to learn what is going on in the world to compensate for their years of isolation. They started their own business – a newsstand and Internet café called "The Bubble Boys News" – on the busiest street corner in Happyville. The Bubble Boys Newsstand is the central location
of the play. The Bubble Boys are excellent
a cappella
singers, as they learned to imitate all instruments, compose their own songs, and sing them throughout the long nights in their bubbles.
Ron – the strongest of the three. Body builder, volunteer fireman, does the heavy work at the newsstand. Happy-go-lucky, no major ambitions – just happy to be "out."
Kevin – the intellectual, the brain of the business. Thick glasses, bad posture, bad breath.
An observer, the quiet guy.
Tim – the smallest and the liveliest. The best promoter of the newsstand, he knows everybody and everybody knows him. He always has time for a chat with customers or people walking by. But he is also the weakest. He has a terminal cancer due to the side effect of the gene therapy – statistically
1 out of 3 of cured "bubble boys" get sick with cancer. He is getting weaker every day. But it doesn't scare him, nor slow him down. His younger sister Tina was supposed to be his savior sibling. She was not able to
save him. But Tim loves his sister deeply.
TINA – the savior sibling – female – early twenties
A retro-punker, Tina was born to donate bone marrow to help her brother Tim, one of the Bubble Boys, now sick with cancer. She is angry at the world for the injustice of his brother's condition – and mostly angry about her own failure to save Tim's life. (Of course, her parents say that they would have had Tina anyway. She wasn't conceived just to save Tim, they say). Rough outside but inside caring, she is a fragile young lady, looking for a way to belong and find a new purpose in life after losing Tim. She acts aggressively and is a cynical smartass. Only Tim is aware of her soft side and her confusion.
LUKE the drifter – has had his life extended – male – 130 years old but looks younger
Luke is a relic of an earlier generation of rockers and bluesmen.
He has a moody, lonely heart. To pay off his gambling debts, he participated in an experimental medical trial and received gene therapy to live forever. For him, this life extension is a curse. Luke is tired of being sentenced to an indefinite, miserable life, and he wants out. He kills himself with an overdose of pills and liquor, and enters heaven and the terrace of the gods. Luke is sent back to earth by the gods to observe what is going on and to report to the gods on what is happening to humans, who now procreate "in
mysterious ways," beyond the control of the gods.
DR. CUNNINGHAM – male – 60+ years
He is the leading person of Happyville and the owner of several franchise businesses: legal advice,
health insurance, pawn shop services, real estate, import-export, buying and selling anything. Dr. Cunningham is a lovable wheeler-dealer, the Father of the Town. He looks like a gentle country doctor. He is loved by the Happyvillers: thanks to Dr. C they are as happy as can be. He introduced all the various gene therapies
to the town people. Thanks to his contacts, the Best Child was designed, the Bubble Boys cured and the Savior Sibling tested. But he has a dark secret: the test results of his optimization experiments are not as optimal as he pretends them to be.
CONSTABLE – human clone – female – 40 years old
The Constable is the nicest character. She is caring, everybody's dream community policewoman. She manages the town with a strong and fair hand. Totally, inhumanly incorruptible, she makes sure the people and town are managed by law and order. She carries a whip and a carrot instead of a baton and gun.
She is a clone, which is only revealed in the latter part of the play. Is her remarkable fairness and incorruptibility based on the fact that she doesn't have a "human heart and soul?"

10th Mountain Rye
Regular price
Age: 6 months
Mash Bill: 95/5 Rye/Barley
Barrel: Various sizes
Proof: 86 proof
The distillery is named after the 10th Mountain Division which trained in the area during WWII. After the war, many of the 10th Mountain soldiers returned to Colorado. These men founded resorts, competed and coached the U.S. Ski Team, established trail systems and overall embraced the mountain lifestyle. Founders Ryan Thompson and Christian Avignon wanted to embrace and honor this lifestyle.
To encourage these relationships, to embrace the mountain lifestyle and to honor the 10th Mountain soldiers who inspired our way of life, we created a tribute spirit company in Vail Colorado. Not only is it a tribute to the 10th Mountain soldier, but it is also a tribute to those that enjoy the mountain lifestyle, living it fully, every day.
The 10th Mountain distillery sits at 7,000 feet. It's amazing to see the effect the altitude has on the whiskey. It is a young whiskey. There is a lot of complexity in the nose. There's black pepper, spearmint, and a subtle reminder of the green wood. The taste is sweet with light fruit while the finish moves to drier oak.

Discussion tomorrow night: is the City of London good for the UK?
At the Bishopsgate Institute:
The economic power of The City impacts on the rest of London and beyond. But are the interests of The City also in the interests of London? In the run-up to the Mayoral and Assembly elections, this event will ask whether it is London's people or businesses who really hold power, and who should be the priority.
I will be giving the keynote speech:
"Mayoral candidates have been invited to answer questions about their relationship with the City from the help of Nicholas Shaxson, author of "Treasure Islands", Chris Cummings, chief executive at City UK, Tamasin Cave, founder of the Alliance for Lobbying Transparency, and Siobhan Kennedy, Business Correspondent at Channel 4 News."

Intensive insulin therapy could prolong life after heart attack in type 2 diabetics
In the first study of its kind, researchers from Sweden found intensive insulin treatment prolonged the lives of type-2 diabetic patients who had suffered heart attacks.
The trial, which started in 1990, involved 620 patients with type 2 diabetes. When the patients were admitted to the hopsital with a suspected heart attack, they were either given intensive insulin treatment or standard glucose-lowering treatment for one year. Researchers hoped to determine whether the difference in treatment could affect mortality in the long run.
Patients who received the insulin treatment were given an insulin-glucose infusion for at least 24 hours, followed by insulin injections four times a day for at least three months.
Intensive insulin treatment benefited patients
The trial showed that patients who had received the intensive insulin treatment survived about 2.3 years longer than those who received the standard treatment. Most of the patients, who were followed for up to 20 years after the trial, had died.
"Patients who were at low cardiovascular risk (less than 70 years old, no history of heart attack or congestive heart failure) and had not previously had insulin therapy when the trial started seemed to benefit the most from intensive insulin treatment," a press release on the study stated.
And while the study shows a positive association between insulin treatment after a heart attack and mortality in type 2 diabetics, the authors are careful to say the effects probably would have been different if the study had been conducted today, not starting in the '90s.
"Compared with 1990 ... there have been many advances in conventional treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular complications, such as more frequent use of medication to lower cholesterol (statins) and blood pressure (angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors)," the press release concluded.

Still sparkin'
Looking back, looking forward
Having drawn up a summation of 2016, especially for Fjord Review, it seemed fitting to do the same for Louise and my year.
Snatching icons, shattering hearts, breaking spirits, annus horribilis. Here, there, everywhere, 2016, politically, globally, environmentally, is being branded as a terrible year. Skewed towards greed and the gold plating of the self, an uncharitable year of inaction, soaked in despair; 2016, you rotter, you scoundrel, you thug, you bully, be wounded by name calling as well as by sticks and stones. But, perhaps, aren't they all. Each year is full of misfortune and cruelty and loss. Closer to home, to my year, in my pocket, in my nest, lo! on balance the year has been closer to annus mirabilis. And it has reaffirmed the value of (all) art, and kindness. The importance of a questioning, an engaged mind too, I'd say.
A quick look back at 2016, before she hands it over to '17 waiting in the wings, and it was a good year (for me). I hope it also had enough light bits to balance the dark for you as well.
This year, we said farewell to dear ol' Perce, and though he remains in our hearts still, alongside Omar and those before him, we found we had room still for another. Before summer closed, we welcomed sweet Lottie Long Legs to the menagerie. The perfect fit from her very first day, she continues to grow both in confidence and condition. (How long her hair!)
We adopted a second donkey. Her name is Ruby, and she joins Zena in the stable (of the Donkey Sanctuary, UK). And we adopted Ikemba, a female mine detection rat working in civil war torn rural Angola, who can detect land mines faster than a metal detector (HeroRATS).
We enjoyed sharing our zines and artists' books with you at the NGV Melbourne Art Book Fair and the Sticky Institute Zine Fair. We loved the chance to exhibit in the windows of Port Jackson Press Print Gallery (and upon her walls too), Obus and Collected Works (as part of Blindside's On the Verge festival), and at Metropolis Gallery, ACMI Mediatheque (as part of the Czech and Slovak Film Festival) and Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery (currently, until the 12th of February, 2017).
We were thrilled to have our artists' books in the 2016 National Works on Paper (MPRG), 2016 Libris Awards (Artspace Mackay), and Freemantle Arts Centre Print Award. And to have our artists' book, Prattle, scoop, trembling: a flutter of Australian birds acquired alongside Closer to Natural, by Artspace Mackay; editions of Because I Like You acquired by National Library of Australia, Mornington Peninsula Shire, State Library of Victoria, State Library of Queensland, and University of Melbourne Library; and The Company You Keep acquired by the NGV.
We managed to see 57 films at MIFF. To write about 20 performances for Fjord Review. We took turns at losing our creative mojo only to find it after negotiating a path through a thicket, backwards. And as Louise continues 'her path to wellness' with weekly physio, daily treatments, medication and meditation, highs and lows, the shared course, always. A shared path that reminds us that we've a lot to be thankful for. All love to our dear families and friends. And thank-you to all of you who have supported our work this year.
Gathered here, this visual record of highs made possible by persevering through the lows. Doubts and grievances make us stronger, reads my t-shirt ready to be wrung out for the adventures ahead.
Come what spanner in the works is thrown, onwards to a new year!

Herbs are gifted by nature to us to sustain good health and body. We understand that people should eat herbs and spices to remain fit and attain strong immunity power. But there is something more to talk about. Suppliers of cumin seeds in India want you to beware of eating too much of herbs like cumin seeds since it can put your health at risk.
You just cannot imagine any Indian kitchen without this herb since they use it in almost every culinary and dry recipe. Here we are highlighting major side effects of having too much of cumin seeds in your diet.
# Heartburn
Cumin seeds help in relieving gas but if you do over consumption of this herb, it can cause common digestive problem, i.e. heartburn. Cumin has a property to facilitate the eviction of more gas into gastrointestinal tract that results in heartburn.
# Belching
Excessive consumption of cumin seeds may lead to belching. Sometimes, belching means burping that involves excess bloating and gas from the stomach and intestinal tract, making its way out via mouth. Belching may have bad odor. It is not harmful, but embarrassing at times.
# Liver damage
The essential oil of cumin seed is highly volatile and can damage kidney and liver if consumed in large quantity for longer time. It is recommended using cumin seeds in cooking in moderate amount.
# Abortion
If you are expecting and eating more cumin seeds just because you heard it is a good herb then stop right away! Excess consumption of cumin seeds may lead to miscarriage or may induce labor. You must stick to the diet recommended by your doctor or dietician.
# Narcotic effects
Cumin seeds have narcotic properties and thus, you must consume them in limited amount. Over consumption of cumin may result in clouding, nausea, and drowsiness.
# Heavy menstrual
Pregnant women in India usually sip cumin seeds water post pregnancy since it helps them in postpartum. However, excess consumption of cumin may lead to heavy bleeding if taken by normal woman. Thus, you must eat them in limited quantity.
# Non-friendly for diabetics
Diabetics need to check on their blood sugar level every day. Fluctuation in blood sugar levels is not good for their health. Consuming cumin seeds may decrease the blood sugar level faster and thus, it should be avoided by diabetics.
Stay healthy by eating cumin seeds in moderate amount. If you want organic cumin seeds, you may contact cumin seeds India suppliers any time and avail the best deal.

I hadn't seen Hilton Head Islander Ede Olson for a long time before we recently re-connected at a 90th birthday celebration for our mutual friend, Ellie Bollin, also of Hilton Head Island.
During the course of our conversation, Ede began to tell me of her years-long quest to locate her mother, Frances A. Cunningham Stepp's, recipe for blueberry pudding, which she served by the spoonful to her four children. Estimating the dates when I thought Ede's mother might have been making the pudding for her family (later confirmed to be sometime in the mid-1940's), I began searching through my vintage cookbook collection, and lo and behold, there it was - a recipe for Steamed Blueberry Pudding, much as Ede described, in a 1934 edition of the "The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book," by Fannie Merritt Farmer.
The recipe also appeared in my almost-falling-apart 1923 edition. So, just in time for blueberry season, Ede and members of her family, including nephew Scott Stepp, of Douglassville, Pa., had Mrs. Stepp's long-lost recipe for blueberry pudding. I was thrilled for Ede and for myself, as I found another use for my Wear-Ever two-piece (#110) mold. Like Ede, Callie's Charleston Biscuit founder Carrie Morey also reveres her mother Callie White's recipes - especially for her biscuits. Callie's biscuits, in fact, is what fed Carrie's desire to found Callie's Charleston Biscuits, in 2005, and make her mother's biscuits "accessible across the country."
For those of you who have eagerly awaited the release of Morey's new cookbook, "Callie's Biscuits & Southern Traditions: Heirloom Recipes from Our Family Kitchen," you'll be happy to know the book is due for release this October. Frequent recipe contributor Caroline Kennedy, of Bluffton, recently won a Callie's Charleston Biscuits recipe contest for her Lime-Blueberry Tiramisu. (Caroline's recipe follows.)

Recipe source: "The Boston Cooking-School Cookbook," by Fannie Merritt Farmer (1857-1915), circa 1923, Little, Brown, and Company, publishers. This recipe was also found on the Bartleby Great Books on-line website at www.bartleby.com in an edition of the cookbook printed in 1918.
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons butter
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup blueberries (rolled in flour for coating)
Creamy Sauce for serving (recipe follows)
Mix and sift dry ingredients and work in butter. Add one cup each of milk and blueberries rolled in flour; turn into buttered mold and steam one and one-half hours. Serve with Creamy Sauce.
Kitchen Ade note: Steamed Blueberry Pudding is a batter-based dessert, which may be simply spooned from the baking mold, or unmolded and served in slices like cake. This recipe benefitted with the addition of about 6 tablespoons of granulated sugar sifted in with the dry ingredients. To steam the pudding, I placed the pudding mixture in a 6-cup mold on a rack inside a pot of simmering water. The water did not quite reach the rack, and I replenished the water, as needed, with boiling water from my tea kettle. Depending on size of portion, this recipe will make about 8 servings.
Creamy Sauce
¼ cup butter
2 tablespoons warm milk
¾ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons wine*
1 teaspoon vanilla
*Kitchen Ade note: Use sherry or Madeira wine. If you do not wish to use wine, substitute with additional milk.
Cream the butter, add sugar gradually and milk, wine and vanilla drop by drop. If liquids are added too fast the sauce will have a curdled appearance.

In this blog post we're going to discuss the look of our 2017 video for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the ways we went about achieving that look with camera, lighting and digital grading.
We knew going into this project that we wanted to shoot our interview subjects with two cameras rolling simultaneously. Doing this gave us some leeway in editing and we didn't have to worry about jump cuts, if there was a moment when an interviewee paused during a sentence we could just cut in to the close up or pull back to the wide shot and make a seamless edit. This also makes for a more visually interesting production so you aren't locked down to only one angle per interview.
To do this we brought out our two Canon c100 cameras and placed them side-by-side on our Manfrotto tripods. A Cam was equipped with an 85mm Rokinon Cine DS lens and B Cam with a 50mm. We recorded in ProRes using our Atomos Ninja Blade and Ninja Star recorders on the cameras and matched the cameras by shooting in Wide DR mode, identical iso settings and a white balance of 4200k, this maintained a nice warm image with our tungsten lighting.
The setting was planned to be at the Hauger family home so going into this we knew we wanted to embrace that home feeling with warm tones and soft lighting. Our main key light was a soft paper lantern with a 150w bulb and we used a c stand and arm to position it close to our interviewees. The spherical shape of the lantern creates a light that wraps evenly around the face and provides a nice eye light as well. A 300w Fresnel on a dimmer with 251 diffusion gel gave our subjects a hair light while a practical placed in the background on camera left acted as a source light. A pretty simple set up that enhanced the natural feel we were hoping to achieve.
Digital Grading
As always we exported an xml file from Final Cut Pro to DaVinci Resolve to perform our colour corrections. There are two different locations in the video: the Hauger family home and the hockey arena in Leduc.
The interviews at the home we didn't change a lot but rather enhanced what was already there in the raw footage. We found a nice balance by adjusting contrast, giving a bit more separation in the skin tones and the bluer tones and pulling some of the yellow out of the whites.

Back home again, my town strangely empty this afternoon. Perhaps everyone was hunkering down for the promised 'winter apocalypse' that is, at least according to the media, about to devour the entire Northern Hemisphere in a kind of Game of Thrones scenario. Well, it's a little chilly that's true, but I'm sure we'll live.

Writing in Leisure Management, Tom Anstey reports that tourism spend in the UK is set to rise by a third over the next four years, with a 32% increase predicted in spending on leisure attractions.
AIM is working with the British Council this year to help museums develop their understanding of and appeal to visitors from Brazil, India, China and Russia, through an Arts Council funded project.
The report by Barclays says that whilst the USA, France and Germany remain important it is newer markets that are predicted to drive much of this growth, particularly visitors from UAE, Russia and China. Chinese visitors spending is predicted to rise 84% from 2013 levels during the period.
Growth in the South West will be particularly high. Bath, Bristol and Cornwall will be popular destinations for Chinese visitors.

The day saw contestants wake up to 'Ek rasta Do raahi', giving them a hint of the task that was to follow. This time, Bigg Boss announced a new twist in the nomination task that left everybody in shock.
Adding more drama, Bigg Boss announced the luxury budget task called the 'Jail Break' which will have repercussions on this week's captaincy.
As a part of the task, the teams were divided into two groups – Prisoners and Policemen. Sreesanth, Nehha, Jasleen, Deepak, Surbhi, Sorabh and Somi were the prisoners and Karanvir, Dipika, Srishty, Saba, Shivashish, Romil and Urvashi were the police officers. With every buzzer the jail's door opened and two policemen had to guard the door. The prisoners needed to jump a wall and try to flee while the policemen had to stop them. The last one to jump the wall, was eliminated from the competition.
As always, this task too saw the competitive spirit of contestants. Romil and Dipika got into a brawl and so did Karanvir and Surbhi. Surbhi alleged Karanvir of foul play and Dipika thought Romil was biased towards his jodidaar – Surbhi.
Stay tuned for more updates from Bigg Boss 12 house

Noah Brown's Prairie
Noah Brown's Prairie is a 19-acre tract in Newton County that was acquired in 2017. The prairie includes many rarer wildflowers that in Missouri, range only into the southwest part of the state, including Barbara's buttons (Marshallia caespitosa) and Tharp's spiderwort (Tradescantia tharpii).
Prior to European settlement, more than one-third of Missouri's landscape was native prairie. A large swath of prairie extended southeast of Joplin and eastward where the town of
would be built. This prairie, locally called Diamond Grove Prairie, was 14 miles long and up to 5 miles wide. Today, only scattered remnants remain, but they are vital habitat for many prairie plants and animals and beautiful areas for people to enjoy.
Noah Brown purchased two 80-acre parcels of land around 1965, including the prairie. At that time the remains of an older house could be seen to the east, with a hand-dug well downhill from it. Noah's son Curt remembers many summers of collecting square hay bales from the prairie – "hot and sweaty work" – but the prairie was a reliable producer of hay that could be cut at any time in the growing season and required no added fertilizer. Fires, both intentional and unintentional, were occasionally applied to the prairie.
Noah Brown recognized the beauty and value of the vanishing prairie and preserved and maintained this 19-acre parcel of native prairie—part of the original Diamond Grove Prairie—for decades. It was Noah Brown's wish that after his death this remnant prairie on his land be preserved, and the Missouri Prairie Foundation was fortunate to acquire it in 2017 to ensure its protection in perpetuity.
A partial donation from the family of Noah Brown and
Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA)
funding awarded to the Missouri Prairie Foundation in 2013 allowed for the acquisition of this 19-acre tract and an adjoining 40 acres. NRDA award funds, administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, were made available as a result of a NRDA settlement with ASARCO, a lead mining and smelting company whose operations created environmental damage while it operated in Jasper and Newton Counties over the last century.
Other nearby portions of the original Diamond Grove Prairie are the Missouri Department of Conservation's nearby
Diamond Grove Conservation Area and Natural Area
, and the adjacent
Carver Prairie
, owned by the Missouri Prairie Foundation.

Developmental EEG correlates of sleep and wakefulness in rats
Short myoclonic twitches of limbs or entire body generate primary sensory cortex activation in neonatal rats contributing development of somatosensory system. Similar spontaneous muscle twitches observed also in whiskers system. Spontaneous whisker movements and patterns of cortical activity occuring during sleep well studied. However, it remains unknown how whisker movement activity organized in wake state and how it correlates with neuronal activity in primary somatosensory cortex during first postnatal week, when basic movement pattern of whiskers (whisking) has not been formed. During wake periods we observed slow oscillatory whisker movements in 2-5 Hz frequency called protowhisking. During each episode of wake movements we observed raising activity in somatosensory cortex in form of increased action potential frequency and spectral characteristics of local field potential.

R.S.I. "Panos Mylonas" | Road safety courses supported by Cyclon Lubricants13 April, 2018 News
Road accidents in Greece are a non-stop problem with dramatic consequences, being the number one cause of death for ages between 16 and 29. The training program offered by the Road Safety Institute (R.S.I.) "Panos Mylonas", aims to address this very problem. Today's students are tomorrow's drivers and therefore their education on road safety and behaviour is of particular importance.
How weak are our reflexes under the influence of alcohol and what are the consequences of avoiding the safety belt during a collision? How easily is our attention distracted during driving and how fast can a driver stop his/her vehicle in case of an emergency? A number of empirical activities using simulator equipment promise to give answers and invite us to redefine the way we drive. This state-of-the-art equipment is unique in Greece and has been chosen so that the messages from each of the implemented activities complement one other. This brings on the table strong arguments for every issue that concerns our behaviour on the road and supports the better application of rules for safe driving in our everyday lives. In the end, road safety is a matter of education and culture!

I need to gauge if it's worth taking the risk. I'm fucking shit at reading signals but my boys tell me there might be interest on her side (which I assume they tell me because they are my boys).
She send me a text today confirming the gathering of our social circle for tomorrow. Which she could have done in our WhatsApp friend group. Alone on this my best friend told me to just all-in soon.
I'm pretty into her but I'm not sure she noticed that, because again, I'm so shit at reading signals.
We keep in contact over Snapchat and she sends me selfies regularily, which I'm the only boy in the social circle she sends them to I'm pretty sure.
So only going by this, would you guys says it's worth trying this? I live in Germany and we are in our early twenties.
I need your advice on this topic urgently AND BE BRUTALLY HONEST!

Just a short one to convey some excitement: tomorrow I'm heading back home for a week, both to my parents' house for a bit and also to the city I studied in before. Some friends and I have at least one night out planned in that club I went to all the time while I was there – let's see how many unexpected people from the past will pop up in one night? My money's on at least three.
So, yes, very excited to be going back!!

Undoubtedly, the Audi E-Tron is one of the most highly anticipated models out there. And guess what? It was only days ago that the electric SUV had been spotted testing out its zero emissions powertrain on the Green Hell. And we have the spy shots to prove this. But even as the hype is getting high on its arrival, the buzz now is on how Audi presented the official range figures for the new SUV.
Audi brought its E-Tron prototype to the Siemens AG facility in Berlin, Germany. Here, the company decided to shock the E-Tron (literally) with a Faraday cage with a high voltage lightning bolt, and guess what happened to the vehicle? It only got minor burn marks on the roof.
During this shocking presentation by Audi, the new E-Tron's range was announced. That being said, Audi said that the SUV will have a range of 400 kilometers (248.5 miles) in the European WLTP driving cycle. Take note that they have not released figures for the US just yet. We're all eagerly looking forward to that information.
Furthermore, Audi also boasts that in only 30 minutes, the new E-Tron's 95 kilowatt-hour battery pack can be fully recharged, with the use of a high powered charging station. This was made possible by the thermal management system for the lithium ion battery that can be found in the vehicle floor.
What makes it even more brilliant is that the electric SUV can also be charged while on the move with alternating AC chargers, with up to 11 kW standard and optionally with 22 kW. Audi plans to set up as many as 400 charging locations, with intervals of 120 kilometers (74.6 miles) along highways as well as main transport roads in Europe by 2020. Another glowing benefit is that customers can make use of over 65,000 public charging stations all over Europe.
If earlier reports are valid, the E-Tron will be able to produce a total of 435 horsepower (320 kilowatts), or 503 horsepower (379 kilowatts) if it comes with the boost. However, we would prefer to hear it directly from Audi before getting all excited about it.
But as of now, the only figures they have released are of the E-Tron's range. What we also know is that the 2019 Audi E-Tron will be out in the market before the year ends, and will cost around $100,000 each. Who amongst you have plans of copping one?

ALFA Members,
NOAA recently released their annual stock status document, which stated that the number of overfished stocks in the U.S. are at an all time low. According to NOAA fisheries, overfished is when a specie's population has become too small for harvest. Compared to overfishing, which occurs when the rate of catch is too high. NOAA's annual report found 35 of 235 stocks to be overfish. This is the lowest number since 2000.
This report sparked a debate among fishermen concerning fishery regulations and sources that should be used to inform management decisions, such as peer-reviewed science. Many conservation groups and commercial fishing industry members argue that this will undermine all rebuilding and management efforts. On the other hand, sport fishermen are arguing that they are unfairly managed in conjunction with commercial fishermen and the regulations need to be updated.
ALFA's own Linda Behnken was featured in this article stating her opposition to curbing science-based management. Linda shared that,
The reauthorization of the Magnuson-Stevens Act will be a major deciding factor in this debate. To help sustain our fisheries and support a continuing legacy of science-based fishery management, click here to sign a letter supporting the Act and share your thoughts with Senator Sullivan.

One of the greatest challenges to a business can be recruiting the right people to enable the organisation to grow in South Africa. Both from a cost and time perspective, recruitment can be a significant demand on a business as many hours have to be spent of recruiting and selecting the right employee for the organisation. However, according to the Epson Business Council, a panel of four leading European business experts, it is the single most important element of running a successful company as the people that are employed in the organisation have the most direct influence on the company's performance.
During difficult economic circumstances, recruitment can become increasingly complex. Potential candidates can be apprehensive about moving jobs as they might feel that staying in their current job is safer. Also a cluttered employment market means that filtering suitable candidates is both time consuming and challenging as where before an organisation might have only got say 40 applicants for a position. But in the current market the applications that are sent to HR are properly quadrupled. This has a great effect on HR in South Africa as the recruitment process is taking that much longer.
There are useful tips based on insights and experience on how to both recruit the best talent and motivate and retain them to become committed employees who will share the determination needed for a business to succeed. A method to improve the efficiency of this HR process will be described below.
One way to improve this is to improve the relationship between recruitment agencies and the organisation. This is vital for tracking down top talent as the recruitment agency would have a direct impact on the type of employees that the organisation employs. HR Trust, understanding and flexibility are crucial to good relationships between recruitment agencies and HR departments to find top talent and therefore gaining a competitive advantage from its competitors.

Your home is more than an architectural structure. Often, it's an extension of who you are – your personality, style and values. That's why selling it can be an emotional experience. But it can also be exciting and rewarding. This section provides some simple home selling tips that can help lead you to a successful, timely sale.
Once you've made up your mind to sell your home, you need to do your "homework" – and RealtyDirectNY.com is a great place to start! Getting a signed contract is a great accomplishment, but that's only half the journey. The typical home sale today involves more than 20 steps after the initial contract is accepted to complete the transaction.
A real estate professional can provide the experience and local knowledge to guide you through the entire process and selling your home within the ideal time frame and at the most effective price point. As the representative of your best interests, your Realty Direct NY Agent has state-of-the-art marketing resources to showcase your home's best assets, and help you determine what improvements will make the biggest difference.
Much of what needs to be done before the closing is the responsibility of appraisers, loan processors, attorneys, and inspectors. Your Realty Direct NY Agent's role also includes coordinating those responsibilities, helping to ensure that others do their jobs promptly and correctly.
Many steps between contract ratification and closing involve the cooperation of both buyer and seller, and attentive real estate professionals on both sides of the transaction will troubleshoot and keep everyone on track.
Real estate marketing involves so much more than a sign in the yard or a web posting. Successful brokers and agents use a variety of methods to attract and qualify prospects, including the latest Internet and communication advances.
Creating a Plan
Your Realty Direct NY Agent will help you create a marketing plan that will make it easier to sell your home at the best price possible in the shortest amount of time.
Adding Value to your Home
There are small things that you can do that will add value to your home and increase your chances of a successful sale. Let one of our agents here at Realty Direct NY show you how.
Setting the Price
Setting the right price for your home is key to the home selling process. We know how to study market trends and set the right price for your home.
Showing Your Home
Staging your home is an important part of the sales process. Our agents provide home showing tips that can help boost a home's curb appeal and create a lasting first impression. Potential buyers will feel "at home" – and more likely to buy – as soon as they walk through the door.
Once you negotiate and settle on a price, the buyer arranges for financing and a home inspection.
Negotiation the Deal
Successful real estate negotiation is more than a matter of luck, innate talent or charm. It takes skill to make a successful deal.
Seller Financing
Seller or owner financing is a technique in which the seller of a home takes on the role of a lender in a home sale. Call us to find out more.
Home Inspection
A home inspection is a professional, objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, from the roof to the foundation.
Real estate closing is a process that concludes with the transaction that transfers ownership of the home. Find more information about closing a home sale by calling us today.
Tips for Moving
Selling your home can be challenging and emotional, but it doesn't have to be traumatic. We have some tips to help get you off on the right foot.

Report from Toronto International Film Festival - Day 6
4th Oct 08
So far so good, I've got into all the screenings that I've wanted... my luck had to run out sooner or later, right? My 8am appointment at the Industry Box Office proved fruitless; I was
going to get a ticket for the public screening of
Public Enemy Number One
. My schedule - planned with military precision days earlier - was thrown into disarray by this hurdle, so I had to take time out to see what remaining screenings I could juggle around in order to make the press screening of the film.
A scattering of Press kits
There was no way around it - I'd have to miss
. With no other screening options available for that Midnight Madness title (showing on the Friday, after I flew home) Bruce suggested that I book a time slot at the Screening Library so that I could at least see the film there on disc - a good idea! Leaving Bruce there to catch up on some films he'd missed I then headed to the main press and PR office to pick up some Press kits for a selection of the films that I was covering.
Michael Caine and Bill Milner in
Is There Anybody There?
With my bag now heavy with an assortment of booklets and discs it was time to get up to the Varsity for my first film of the day.
Is There Anybody There?
is the new British film from John Crowley (
Boy A
) starring Bill Milner (one of the kids from
Son Of Rambow
) as a morbid young boy called Edward whose parents run an old folks home. Surrounded by the sick and elderly, Edward is fascinated by death and the paranormal, recording the patients in a vain attempt to gain an insight into what happens after someone dies. When Clarence (Michael Caine), a cantankerous ex-magician still grieving for his late ex-wife, arrives at the hospice the pair strike up an uneasy friendship and attempt to confront the nature of mortality together.
Is There Anybody There?
is a curious mix, sad and moving yet littered with comic moments - Clarence's revival of his finger-guillotine trick is a doozy. I'm not sure that it has the appeal to reach a wide audience in the way that
Son Of Rambow
did, but the young Milner again impresses and is backed by a strong cast of British television stalwarts like David Morrissey, Anne-Marie Duff, Peter Vaughan and Leslie Phillips.
Dev Patel in
Slumdog Millionaire
Next up, Danny Boyle's new film which seems to have been made under the radar and has arrived with little fanfare. So, the buzz for
Slumdog Millionaire
starts now after some enthusiastic reviews and the film collecting TIFF's coveted People's Choice Award - and I'm in full agreement, this is a terrific film. Jamal (Dev Patel,
) is one question away from winning the top prize on India's
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
when he's taken away for questioning - how could a kid who grew up on the streets possibly know all the right answers? What follows is a series of flashbacks to Jamal's troubled childhood growing up as a 'slumdog' with his older brother Salim and another orphan called Latika (Freida Pinto) who Jamal is especially fond of.
After a slow build up the film really gains momentum in the second half as the adult Jamal reconnects with his childhood sweetheart and attempts to free her from the clutches of a local gangster. After his dazzling sci-fi epic
(one of my favourite films of last year) Danny Boyle again shows just what a versatile director he is with this film, closest in tone to
with its lighter tone and predominantly youthful cast. Boyle has always had a natural flair for directing his actors but in
Slumdog Millionaire
it's his depiction of Mumbai that impresses most, bringing a bright, vibrant, kinetic energy to the film which excites and draws you in. Culminating in a Bollywood style song-and-dance number over the closing credits, this is the epitome of feelgood movies and even had the jaded P&I audience applauding at the end. Fantastic stuff!
Bill Maher in
No trip to Toronto is complete without a visit to Bay Street DVD so I spent my next break in there browsing the endless rows of DVDs and wishing I had a lottery win to fund my addiction. In the end my sole purchase the 3 disc
American Gangster
box set for a bargain $15. Back to the Varsity for some more phone rage; for the third time in one day I witnessed one audience member berate another for using their phone / blackberry during the screening. The film in question this time was
) the new film from Larry Charles, erstwhile
writer and director of
takes the form of a feature-length documentary following television humourist Bill Maher as he confronts all forms of organised religion on a journey around the globe. Maher is a natural host and the affable way in which he questions faith with a mixture of wit and logic produces great results.
Whether you find this kind of thing funny I guess depends on your own personal beliefs, but it's important to stress that the film doesn't target one particular faith for attack, it satirises the whole notion of religious belief. Myself, I laughed like a drain and I wasn't alone - if you want to find the film that generated the most laughs at TIFF this year, you've got it right here.
With Clancy Brown at
The Burrowers
I'd set aside the evening to catch up with friends, so after my screening I headed down to The Foxes Den to have some food with Courtney, Bruce, Ant, Ian and a few others before we moved on to the Imperial for some beers. Always busy prior to the Midnight Madness screenings, we caught up with Todd and some of the Twitch crowd upstairs and I got chatting to Grady Hendrix (Kaiju Shakedown).
Having said my farewells to Bruce as it was his last night in town I then headed down to the Ryerson ready for the midnight screening of
The Burrowers
, the latest film from JT Petty (
- which confounded viewers at FrightFest in Glasgow last year). JT had been at nearly all the other MM screenings so I'd already had the opportunity to speak to him earlier in the week, but tonight he had two of his cast members with him in the shape of Karl Geary and the legendary Kurgan himself, Clancy Brown. Us bloggers got to work and Clancy was very obliging, answering questions and posing for pictures - and quoting his most infamous line of dialogue too!
Clancy Brown, JT Petty and Karl Geary at
The Burrowers
So who's up for a horror-western? Taking place across the vast plains of Dakota in 1879,
The Burrowers
is the story of a young man named Coffey (Geary) who joins a group of horsemen and soldiers to search for his girlfriend's family after they're attacked on their farm and disappear. Coffey and his rancher friends (including Brown and
regular William Mapother) soon discover that it's not the natives who've been taking prisoners, but something sinister that lurks beneath the earth's surface.
Sounds a bit like
I hear you say, but this has a much different feel to it with its period setting and a more serious approach to the material. However, with all that seriousness it loses the good old fashioned fun of the creature feature, and whilst the film is technically proficient and the performances are fine, I just didn't feel that excited about what was happening on screen. It's perfectly watchable and would make for a good DVD rental but it's no classic and is slightly marred by a rather sudden conclusion as if they weren't really sure where to end the film. Petty is in an intelligent guy and a promising director but I don't think
The Burrowers
is his break out movie, just a stepping stone to bigger and better things. Still attached to a 'remake' of
Faces Of Death
which might yet be his next project, it will certainly be interesting to see what he comes up with in the future.

Say it all with a t-shirt.
I am a hoarder of clothes and beautiful vintage pieces, but more specifically, a hoarder of a whole lot of t-shirts. Whilst I can appreciate that not everyday is a statement day, and sometimes it is more appropriate to channel your inner plain-jane, 99.9% of the time we should dress to impress.
Graphic tees are the best way to make a statement without even having to open your mouth or go crazy, and can brighten any sombre and simplistic outfit. Here are some wicked picks that are probably, definitely, needs – not wants.
The Ragged Priest : Fire! Fire! Tee
rrp £35
Edgy, eye-catching and epic, The Ragged Priest never fails to produce incredible statement clothing. Flames are taking over the fashion scene right now, so you can't go wrong with this baby from TRP's High Summer 16 collection.
Glorious pjs – Girl Power Tshirt
rrp $30 NZD
For anyone with even a flicker of feminist fight in them, this shirt is rad and speaks volumes to whoever you pass on the street. Handmade and from the cutest clothing line, this is a need, not a want.
Vanna Youngstein – Cherry Baby Tee
rrp $45 USD
Eeeeee! How cute is this! I can't decide my favourite out of the white, baby pink or blue designs, so it just might have to be all three. Simplistic but a statement tee that looks just as wicked paired with bright or monochromatic pieces.
Glorious pjs – Soulless Mates Tee
Another beauty from this little label! An intricate and endearing design that out competes plain t-shirts any day. Pair with a black jacket and some distressed jeans and you're sorted.
Sugarhigh Lovestoned – Love Stoner Appliquéd Tee
rrp $100 USD
Recreating an old-school cheerleader like vibe, this statement tee in a beautiful vintage royal blue is perfect for your spring wardrobe. Rock it with culottes, high-waisted jeans and clogs or plimsolls and get high on love!

Tayanna & Josean // Wedding Zafra del Caribe
Happy to be back sharing another Summer wedding this time Tayanna and Josean's day held at Zafra del Caribe!
Tayanna looked absolutely stunning with her flower crown and lace gown! She carried herself with undeniable grace. Josean also looked so stylish with his mixed/match tux! He wore a world map print bow tie that matched with the travel theme/decor of their wedding.
They laughed, cried and just enjoyed every minute of their celebration. Every guest was excited to witness how they promised eternal love to each other. Josean couldn't contain his emotion when he saw Tayanna walking down the isle with her parents by her side (her bridesmaids cried too!) Another special moment was when their parents threw confetti once they sealed their promises with a kiss, it was beautiful!
Hope the iamges make you feel as you were there too! Hope to inspire, any questions feel free to write at: firstname.lastname@example.com
until next time, Nydia

Applied to paintings, the word provenance refers to authenticity of the origin of a painting. The information is vital in the evaluation of any work of art. A good example is the painting purchased for $50 in Vancouver this spring (Vancouver Sun April 12, 2012) that was identified as a possible original Tom Thompson. If the provenance can be verified, the painting could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!
I once purchased a painting from an artist where neither the artists nor I noticed at the time that the signature was missing. In a case like this where the artist is still living the solution may simply mean taking a trip to the artist's studio to have the signature applied. Where the artist is not living the lack of signature can be a problem and will probably devalue the work considerably.
There is a debate among artists as to whether a painting should be dated. Some feel that a painting showing an earlier date may be an impediment to a sale or warrant a lower price. Whether the argument has merit or not, it seems to me that the value of the work should really be dependant on artistic merits and the artist's reputation. On the other hand, the date of a painting's execution can be important as it relates to the artist's career. For that reason alone I believe it is valuable information for a buyer to have.
In my case I have chosen to place a small signature in red at the lower right hand corner of each painting, whether a watercolour on paper or an acrylic on canvas. On the back of the painting, written on the folded-over strip of canvas (watercolours have an identify label attached to the foam-core backing), I show a catalogue number, title, size, date, and location (if relevant). I also sign it with my written signature. The record on the back of a Spratt acrylic would look like this:
#212754 20x24 Spring Pasture April 2012 Algonquin Park C.Spratt
I have been documenting my work this way for 30 years. When I receive an inquiry about a painting, I first ask for the catalogue number found on the back, knowing that I have been guilty of using the same title more than once by mistake. By referring to my records I can identify the painting and I can confidently assure the caller that the work is indeed mine. I am also able to add details from memory such as where the painting (or the study for the work) was painted, relevant painting trips, awards etc. It's one attention to detail that I always considered an important part of being a professional artist.
