Biohazards need to be eliminated, cleaned up, decontaminated, carried and effectively disposed of to guarantee the health and safety of all involved.

The research showed that while most families paid a higher premium to keep their children insured, other families were unable to do so. The study appeared in the February issue of Health Affairs, a peer-reviewed health policy journal.
"It isn't surprising that a substantial portion of participants dis-enrolled but rather that a large percentage found a way to stay with the program," said the study's principal author, Michael R. Cousineau, associate professor of research in family medicine and preventive medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. "These results speak to the strong importance these parents place on retaining coverage."
Cousineau, who also holds an appointment at the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy, and his team examined the county's Healthy Kids program, a comprehensive, full-risk plan established in 2003 that, at its peak, served more than 45,000 children ages 0 to 18.
Administered by L.A. Care Health Plan, the program has shrunk due to state budget cuts, closing enrollment to new applicants ages 6 to 18 in 2008 and increasing monthly premiums to $15 per child ($45 maximum per family) for the same age group in 2010. Members of the plan had been paying $0 to $6 in premiums per child, depending on income.
The researchers compared two groups of children, those ages 6 to 18 (subject to a premium increase) and those ages 0 to 5 (who were not subject to an increase). The researchers compared average monthly enrollment and retention rates from January 2009 to June 2011. Premiums increased on July 1, 2010.
Membership declined for both age groups over the course of the study but more drastically in the older group subject to premium increases. Retention in the younger group stayed steady at 95 percent before and after the increase, while that in the older group dropped nearly 5 percentage points to 93.8 percent after the premium change.
At the end of the study, 59 percent of the older group's July 2010 monthly enrollment was still in the program. The researchers expected that 80 percent of the children in the older group still would be enrolled after the increase, taking into consideration factors other than a premium increase. The difference between the observed and expected values was considered the effect of the premium increase.
The researchers did not ask parents why they dis-enrolled their children, nor did they have access to demographic factors such as income, race or health status to help identify who was likely to retain coverage and who was not when faced with increased premiums.
Cousineau said that future research should analyze these and other factors to tailor specific interventions to children most likely to drop out.
"Health reform provides new opportunities for expanding children's access to health care," Cousineau said. "However, changes in federal, state and local government policies may force health plans to consider increasing premiums. More research is necessary to determine the optimal level for premiums and to project what low-income families might do if they lose coverage."
Co-authors included Howard Kahn, CEO of L.A. Care Health Plan, and Kai-Ya Tsai, a statistician at the Keck School.
The study was supported by funds from L.A. Care Health Plan.

Flaherty NYC programmed by Mary Helena Clark and Alexander Stewart
Series co-presented with Pioneer Works
Sara Magenheimer in person for a discussion moderated by Sukhdev Sandhu Associate Professor in the Department of English at NYU and founder of the Colloquium For Unpopular Culture.
Co-presented with Colloquium For Unpopular Culture.
Last night was the third installment of Flaherty NYC's Spring 2019 program "PUZZLING." Curators Mary Helena Clark and Alexander Stewart brought together moderator Sukhdev Sandhu, the founder of the Colloquium for Unpopular Culture and professor of English at NYU, and multimedia artist and filmmaker Sara Magenheimer to discuss her work and the theme for the evening: New Language Acquisition. "Puzzling" is co-presented in collaboration with Pioneer Works. Daniel Kent from Pioneer Works designed the series poster and another collectable custom risograph-printed program for last evening's screening. He will create a new edition for each night of the series. The evening was co-presented with the Colloquium for Unpopular Culture.
In her introduction to the screening, Mary Helena said, "In our very first conversation about the series, Alexander and I discussed the video IN MY LANGUAGE by Mel Baggs," and told the audience that it was an "essential piece to our thinking about the Puzzling series." In the video, Baggs, who is autistic and nonverbal, demonstrates their own personal language as they expresses it– by vocalizing long drawn out tones, interacting with objects, and feeling their way through the environment that surrounds them. The riveting and emotional video stresses how Baggs is indeed capable of language, directly pressing against the perceived assumption that having a comprehensible and understandable language is akin to having a personhood. In Baggs' own words, "This is not a look-at-the-autie gawking freakshow as much as it is a statement about what gets considered thought, intelligence, personhood, language, and communication, and what does not."
The next piece in last night's program asked a similar question, throwing up into the air notions of the human and the nonhuman. The two minute long sound piece SIMULATION OF IMPOSSIBLE by Rei Hayama in collaboration with LEVE, broke down language as a strictly human process. The final sound piece was the result of Hayama slowing down field recordings of bird song, then dubbing her own voice over it to simulate the chirping of a bird. She then played her version of bird song in a field of other birds, recording the simulated-human-bird song as it enmeshed and interacted with the actual bird calls. The difference was indistinguishable, and the boundary between human and non-human communication was breached, if only for two minutes.
In Sara Magenheimer's piece SLOW ZOOM LONG PAUSE, we are offered entry-points into the tactility and physicality of words. As Sara herself claimed in the discussion, "I wanted to use all the modes of voice… I want to use everything language can do." The film began in a dramatic diaristic tone as the narrator of the film, in a patois accent, says "I need you, I don't need you, I need you, I don't need you!" Eventually, the film drifted from this mode of speaking into another category of language, into Q&A session with the narrator herself. Crisscrossing across styles and modes of address, we are let into the rapturous world of the word. In the discussion, however, Magenheimer felt as though some of her worldview has changed following giving birth to a son. She stressed much of her best work is made when she feels safe, and her audience is limited to one or two people who intimately understand her language. In the here and now in February 2019, Magenheimer feels as if the political climate doesn't allow her the luxury to navel-gaze nearly as much as she used to, as she claims she does in SLOW ZOOM LONG PAUSE.
In the Q&A portion of the evening, the conversation turned to the final program of the night, Barbara Hammer's joyous SYNC TOUCH. Magenheimer claimed that although she hadn't known about Barbara Hammer when she was first studying as an artist, she felt she can be considered an artist who has inherited her theoretical approaches via learning under "feminist lesbians who studied with Derrida." Magenheimer said that as a young artist, she felt frustrated making art from the theoretical standpoint. She felt she needed to unlearn much of the theory she was taught and sought instead to learn the practice of art making. SYNC TOUCH epitomizes the push to do something creative with feminist critical theory and literature, and Magenheimer acknowledges that Barbara Hammer's approach to theory is full of life, color, and vitality. To this point, Magenheimer said, "The film really enjoyed itself, as if it was getting itself off to its own language." To which Sandhu responded, "It also reminds us how exhilarating it can be to be present for a rather mordant Polish film," referring to DRY STANDPIPE by Wojciech Bąkowski, a moody, contemplative work that collages video footage of quotidian moments into abstract compositions, and then relates the personal significance of these moments verbally to the viewer.
"New Language Acquisition" was another excellent continuation to Flaherty NYC's "Puzzling" series. We are looking forward the next program "PETER ROSE IN PERSON" which promises a fascinating discussion featuring Peter Rose with Sara Magenheimer returning as the moderator. "Peter Rose in Person" will take place on Tuesday, February 26th, 7 pm at Anthology Film Archives.

Co-presented with Colloquium For Unpopular Culture.
The experience of encountering a language you do not understand, with its opacities, surface poetics, and implications of meaning, is central to this program. "New Language Acquisition" begins by exploring possibilities for linguistic, nonverbal, and spatial communication. Conversely, techniques of deconstruction serve as a means to decode or untether the semiological. What can an image and sound sign? What is deemed legible or illegible? In the words of writer and artist Mel Baggs: "I find it very interesting…that failure to learn your language is seen as a deficit, but failure to learn my language is so natural that people like me are officially described as 'mysterious' and 'puzzling,' rather than anyone admitting that it is themselves who are confused."
Rei Hayama with LEVE
(2017-18, 2 min, sound piece)
For Simulation of Impossible, Rei Hayama studied recordings of birdsong slowed down approximately 20 times and carefully interpreted them into Japanese. She then sang her translations and sped up the recordings. Her artificial "bird song" was played in the forests around rural León, in northern Spain, with the many wild birds responding back in song. While the project proposes a fantasy of interspecies communication, it also allows the listener to imagine the birds' fear and confusion of miscommunication and human imposition. This sound piece is collaboration work with LEVE and made for the LEVE edition 6.
Oliver Laric
(2014-15, 6 min, digital)
Laric's Untitled (2014-15) collects and juxtaposes animated clips of "morphing" characters, collating from over 100 years of animated film and video history footage depicting such phenomena as old men becoming babies, robots turning into cars, and snakes transforming into belly dancers. Laric's interest in the malleability of an object or image's meaning when ferried between cultures and time periods is complemented in the video by its illustration of things actually changing form, alluding to the unfixed nature of representation and meaning.

Keewatin Dewdney
(1967, 8 min, 16 mm)
The film reflects Dewdney's conviction that the projector, not the camera, is the filmmaker's true medium. The form and content of the film are shown to derive directly from the mechanical operation of the projector – specifically the maltese cross movement's animation of the disk and the cross illustrates graphically (pun intended) the projector's essential parts and movements. It also alludes to a dialectic of continuous-discontinuous movements that pervades the apparatus, from its central mechanical operation to the spectator's perception of the film's images… (His) soundtrack demonstrates that what we hear is also built out of continuous-discontinuous 'sub-sets.' The film is organized around the principle that it can only complete itself when enough separate and discontinuous sounds have been stored up to provide the male voice on the soundtrack with the sounds needed to repeat a little girl's poem: The cross revolves at sunset / The moon returns at dawn / If you die tonight, / Tomorrow you are gone. (William Wees). (Preserved by the Academy Film Archive)
Sara Magenheimer
(2015, 13 min, digital)
We hear a female voice with a subtle Jamaican accent speak about her life. Sometimes we see an image; a bird, two birds, fire, someone digging a giant hole, cake, a red anvil with an effervescent essence, and sometimes we are left in the dark with only our imaginations in this sound-driven video. Along the way we consider the nature of human existence, the transfiguring power of sex, and the physicality of words. (Courtesy of Video Data Bank)
Paul Gablicki
(1985, 10 min, 16 mm)
A series of source objects (scissors, a barbell, piano, boxing ring, ladders, an hourglass, an arch) are presented, defined, demonstrated, discussed, spoken about, juxtaposed and progressively re-invented during the course of a multi-layered visual and aural "conversation." The film plays with language, the viewer's memory, assumptions about "familiar" objects, associations and gender, puns, hieroglyphic forms and conscious and unconscious processes of thinking and perception.

Wojciech Bąkowski
(2012, 12 min, digital)
The Dry Standpipe is a poetic impression, a video-collage made of the author's private films. The materials from the personal video journal were used by the artist to create virtual, abstract solids depicting spiritual states. (WB)
Barbara Hammer
(1981, 12 min, 16 mm)
A lesbian/feminist aesthetic proposing the connection between touch and sight to be the basis for a "new cinema." The film explores the tactile child nature within the adult woman filmmaker, the connection between sexuality and filmmaking, and the scientific analysis of the sense of touch. -Canyon Cinema (Print courtesy of The Academy Film Archive)
Rei Hayama is a Japanese artist who works mainly with moving image. She studied at the Department of Moving Images and Performing Arts, Tama Art University and has been making films since 2008. Hayama's films revolve around nature and all other living things that have been lost or neglected from an anthropocentric point of view. Through abstract film and video works with sound, poetic writings and symbolic imageries, Hayama gently seeks the harmonious connection between nature and human beings, bringing forward the invisible layers of our natural reality into the human imagination.
Oliver Laric was born in 1981 in Innsbruck, Austria, and lives and works in Berlin. His one-person exhibition Jahr Des Hundes is currently on view at Kunstverein Braunschweig, Germany.

Working across a range of media including video, sound, performance, sculpture, collage, and installation, New York–based artist Sara Magenheimer disrupts, manipulates, and defamiliarizes language with bold combinations of image and text. In syncopated progressions of pictures and words, Magenheimer pushes against the bounds of narrative, charting circuitous storylines through vernacular associations. Recent solo exhibitions include The New Museum, New York (2018), Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, Portland, OR (2017); The Kitchen, New York (2017); Chapter NY (2017): Art in General in partnership with kim?, Riga, Latvia (2016); the Center for Ongoing Research & Projects (COR&P), Columbus, OH (2016); JOAN, Los Angeles (2015); and Recess, New York (2015).

It stages talks, screenings, performances and seances devoted to reexamining all manner of forgotten, scorned and censored cultural work (North Korean science fiction, Polish postwar fashion, Soviet bones culture, Filipino occult poetry, Botswanan punk, homunculus scholarship). Frieze magazine called it "one of the best-kept secrets of the New York talks circuit".

My dad and I are beat! After tackling the Redwood City swarm and installing the bees in my yard we did a few inspections as well which I will blog about later. But here's what remains for Easter Sunday.
8 AM: We'll be rescuing this swarm in a young oak tree in Los Altos.
9 AM: Bee rescue in Palo Alto for this smaller swarm in an apricot tree.
10 AM to Noon: Hive inspections in Mountain View and honey harvest. Then hopefully lunch before our 2 PM appointment.
2:30 – 3 PM: Site check in Palo Alto. A second year beekeeper must have missed a swarm and it moved into her crawl space!!! Will see what it'll take to remove them. Here's a picture she captured of the swarm flying towards the opening into her crawl space.
Here are two swarms that she found after I asked her to look around for any after-swarms. I coached her yesterday over the phone on how to capture and hive a swarm. Today she reported back that the bees have stayed. Swarm #1. The harder of the two.
Swarm #2. Can't get any easier than this.
3:30 PM: Releasing a queen from the queen catcher. This hive we relocated to my autn's yard.
4 PM: Amy, who we removed some bees from her office last year, called today saying that there were about a dozen bees inside her bathroom at her house. I'm hoping to stick to schedule and make it up to her place for a site check.
Then… later in the afternoon and evening, probably more calls.

The Ukulele Festival Trust (supported by Mr & Mrs Smith) have gifted our school 12 ukuleles. This will really kick our Friday Lunchtime Uke band into action.
I found a cheap way to keep our Ukuleles accessible, portable, protected and importantly always visible. Also, it reuses the boxes they came in.
I removed the instruments from their shipping boxes, sliced each box apart on a band saw - at about one third of the way up at a 30° angle, glued them all together with ½ a tube of Liquid-Nails ($8), then glued them into a Pack-n-Save shopping bag ($2.50)

Companies fear for employees' safety on speed pedelecs
According to a survey by the VRT news website, companies are far from keen on offering their employees a speed pedelec for commuting. They consider the risk of a serious accident too high.
'Normal' e-bike is booming
That is why mobility project 'smart to Antwerp' (Slim naar Antwerpen) is planning to offer companies safety courses for both 'normal' electric bicycles and speed pedelecs.
"The popularity of the 'normal' electric bike is booming", says Slim naar Antwerpen's spokesperson, Marijke De Roeck. "That's not the case for the faster speed pedelec, though. Employers are worried about their employees' safety. They fear for a higher risk of accidents and they expect people to be incompetent for work for a longer period of time after an accident with a super-fast bike."
New means of transport
Roby Zahler, CEO of Ecomobiel, also deplores employers' reservation toward speed pedelecs. "Reason for this reserve is that in case of an accident with a speed pedelec everthing is blown up", he explains.
"Nevertheless, my clients are using their speed pedelec in a responsible way and they know how to behave in traffic. Maybe this kind of anxiety will disappear in the long run. People usually need some time to get used to new means of transport."
Bedrijven zetten personeel liever niet op speed pedelec

I've been falling into really bad habits lately, I've been getting lazy with my reading and neglecting my blog, with the last few posts coming later than I wanted them too. It's my own fault though. I find that in the colder months I become distracted by binge watching TV shows and spending way too much time on my phone instead of picking up one of the books that are waiting on my shelf. Something I'm really good at, that I'm sure a lot of people can relate to, is procrastinating. So I am going to work harder at keeping on track with my reading and my blog.
Despite all this I did get some new books in June that I'm really looking forward to reading. It's a bit of an odd little collection that I gathered, as the three books I picked up all seem like they'll be really different, but then that might be a good way to try and get out of this lazy reading rut I've fallen into.
I'm not going to lie, this purchase was partly influenced by how beautiful the cover is, but I also heard good things about Marie Rutkoski's The Winner's Curse. Set in a world where a woman's only choice is marriage or military, Kestral struggles to live the life she wants, a life where she if free of society's restraints. When she is drawn to buy a new servant she soon realises that she got much more than she paid for, and things might never be the same again. There's a lot of focus on political intrigue within this book and characters with their own hidden agendas. I'm about half way through this so far, and really enjoying it.
A Monster Calls has been on my wish list for a while and when I found this illustrated version in the book store I had to snap it up. This book is filled with stunning illustrations that add to the dark and eerie tones of the story itself. I don't know too much about this book, other than what the back cover tells us, which is that a boy gets a visit by a monster but it isn't the monster he was expecting. I haven't read anything else by Patrick Ness, but I'm excited to be starting with this one as it sounds strange and dark and something unlike any other book I've read.
I'd heard people comparing this book to Gone Girl which is what got me intrigued about it in the first place. The Girl on the Train tells the story of a woman who watches the world go by from her seat on a train, who imagines herself as part of other people lives. One day she see's something different and all of a sudden she is thrown into the lives of others and nothing is quite what it seems. The blurb of this book sets the scene for a really interesting thriller with twists and turns. I don't usually read too many thrillers, but the film adaption of Paula Hawkins' book has Emily Blunt is the lead role who I really love, so I decided I would give the book a go before watching the film.
I hope everyone else had a great reading month in June, and here's to hoping I do better in July!

Roy Keane accuses John Stones of having the strength of a child as he lets rip at Manchester City star
Ex-Manchester United ace says England defender needs to toughen up after Champions League howler
ROY KEANE has accused John Stones of having the strength of a child in an attack of the ability of the Manchester City defender.
Keane tore into the England star after he was shrugged off the ball too easily in the build-up to Borussia Monchengladbach's opening goal in Wednesday's 1-1 Champions League draw.
The former Manchester United legend believes Stones, 22, needs to toughen up if he wants to develop as a world class talent.
Stones went down theatrically under the challenge of Lars Stindl who then raced free to set up Raffael for the goal.
And analysing the match for ITV, Keane didn't hold back. He said: "He's got to be stronger, he's got to be tougher.
"It's just too easy, he's like a child getting knocked off the ball.
"He's hoping one of his teammates can help him out here, but they punished and rightly so. Really poor defending, he's got to be stronger.
"He's a good player but he's just got to be tougher and stronger."
more from football
Fellow pundit Lee Dixon also singled out Stones for criticism, even though he believed Stindl had fouled the City defender.
Dixon said: "Stindl does gran the arm but at that point, where you are on the pitch, you can't take a chance and go down.
"That pull on his arm wasn't enough to send him to the ground.
"He's taken a gamble thinking the ref will see it, but if you're last man you can't take a risk like that.
"You've got to fight him off, get the ball back to the keeper and the danger is gone."

The Logic behind tax breaks
June 16, 2008
Successful Australian animation and visual effects studio Animal Logic last week announced plans to expand into interactive game development, but the Games Development Association of Australia was disappointed to discover the new studio would be based in Los Angeles.
Animal Logic's announcement came just the day before the Games Development Association of Australia reiterated its (five year) call for the Australian government to offer tax incentives to help grow the local interactive entertainment industry.
The GDAA estimate extending the 40 per cent rebate currently enjoyed by local film producers to the games industry would lead to an additional $25 million in investment each year and help the industry "triple in size within a few years".
Animal Logic Chief Executive Officer Zareh Nalbandian supports the GDAA's campaign and says government assistance for game development similar to film will be a crucial factor in whether Animal Logic chooses to develop their games locally.
Animal Logic has been one of Australia's most successful new media companies, producing award-winning design, animation and visual effects for the film, television and advertising industries.
Recent credits include the Academy Award-winning Happy Feet, The Matrix, Moulin Rouge, Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring and 300. The company is currently producing Guardians of Ga'Hoole in association with Village Roadshow and Warner Bros.
In an interview with Screen Play this morning, Mr Nalbandian says the main reason for choosing Los Angeles rather than expanding its Sydney operation was that LA offered the talent it needed to get off the ground.
"The important thing to understand is we're establishing a slightly different paradigm to what is traditional in the games business, where you're either a publisher or a developer," says Mr Nalbandian.
"We're actually pursuing the games business from the point of view of being a creative production company in the same way that we work in film. We aim to start with a core of around five to 10 people and within that paradigm of being key creatives, key technical leadership and key production heads so that we can drive the creative and technical production enterprise, but not necessarily try to do everything else ourselves."
Mr Nalbandian says Animal Logic choose LA "to basically go where the talent is".
"We felt that there was a rich pool of talent, and particularly Giancarlo Mori who will head the enterprise, that we have more options in Los Angeles at this point of time than we have elsewhere.
"It was also partly an organic thing for us because we've been in Los Angeles for six years, we've had offices there, we're expanding what we do on the ground there across a number of things, so it wasn't like we were starting from scratch. We're also represented by CAA, Creative Artists Agencies, who are the world's biggest talent agency. They're in Los Angeles so that kind of helps get the business established from a creative relationships perspective."
But Mr Nalbandian stresses the decision to establish the LA studio does not preclude the company developing games in Australia.
"To that end, it could be anywhere in the world. We don't necessarily believe we're going to be making the games in the US. We're going to be looking for the right team with the right level of talent in a competitive environment for the actual game production and I hope it will be over time back in Australia.
"I've got to say though, with where we're at in Australia right now we have no competitive advantage in terms of our dollar. It's pretty close to parity with the United States. And I think you touched on that there's no tax support in this industry..."
Mr Nalbandian says the introduction of a 40 per cent tax rebate for the games development industry "will certainly make a different in our decisions on where to make the games".
"Game budgets can range between 25 and 50 million dollars to create a game depending on the level and number of SKUs on which one releases. That's becoming equal to the kind of numbers we look at in the film industry.
"The game industry, just like the film industry, has to compete with places like Canada which have a very attractive tax environment to support the digital production and games industries, so in the future for us to be able to make competitive games we'll need to be looking at the best environment in which to do that, and if Australia supports games, at least to some extent in the way it supports film production, it will attract us back here for sure."
Animal Logic will now be in the strange position of being able to receive tax rebates of up to 40 per cent of film and television production in Australia, yet not games based on the same intellectual properties. Mr Nalbandian says the rapid growth of the games industry could have been a factor in the current inconsistency across different screen-based media.
"I think the development of game production has been happening so quickly that it's probably taking governments some time to understand what it means to business and the overall creative enterprise in Australia. I think as that understanding develops, it will become clear that it should be supported.
"We're a great advocate of supporting games in the same way that we support television and film, and don't understand why it's not supported at all at this point."
Mr Nalbandian says he hopes Animal Logic's expansion into games will "go one more step towards proving the importance of that level of support for the industry in Australia".
"I want to make a point that what we're doing in Los Angeles is still an Australian business, it's still an Australian enterprise with a front end that is based in LA. Animal Logic's philosophy is we're an Australian company but we work to global audiences and global markets.
"To do that we'll do whatever is necessary to be one, competitive, and two, that we are working with the most talented people.
"I think there's a real opportunity to expand the games business in Australia and we can be part of that, and we'll certainly be taking those arguments to government over time."
Many within the Australian games development business believe the industry is at the crossroads, but would flourish with access to more investment funds. More money would enable studios to work on lucrative original games rather than "work for hire" contracts for overseas publishers.
Australia will soon lose most "work for hire" contracts to cheaper countries like India and China, so developers who cannot create their own franchises will increasingly struggle.
GDAA President Tom Crago says the local games development community produces world-class games and has worked hard to create a community of innovation and excellence. He argues the sector deserves the support of the Australian government.
Mr Crago says tax incentives have been deployed in Canada, France and elsewhere in the world, and have greatly assisted local industry to develop its potential.
"There are over 300 companies in the video game industry in Canada employing over 8000 people. The growth of the Canadian industry has been in no small part thanks to Government support," he says.
"Australian game developers cannot be expected to be internationally competitive when global market conditions are 'not level'. We owe it to the companies themselves to offer these incentives and we also need to make an investment into Australia's 'smart economy'."
Mr Crago admits he was disappointed by Animal Logic's news, but is confident they will be successful.
"It's a fairly natural move for Animal Logic into the video game space, and I'm sure they'll excel there," Mr Crago says.
"Yes, it's disappointing that they're not setting up in Australia, and I do wonder if their decision might have been different if game developers in Australia received a fair deal from the Federal Government.
"With luck, there will still be scope for collaboration between Animal Logic and Australian game developers."

Sounds pretty much like the same attitude with the state of the film industry over here as well.
Animal Logic can certainly kick some ass in their media production and all they will need to do is reinforce the word 'Australia' when it comes to $$$ time for consumers.

Good on Animal Logic. Five years ago you would only ever see their name on the opening and closing credit sequences of Australian TV shows (they did credits sequences for Spicks and Specks and At the Movies, among others) and tucked way down the bottom of the effects houses in some big Hollywood film's closing credits. Now they have an Oscar of their own under their belts for an original film IP, and they're moving into games.
Sad to see a chunk of the company move to the US, but honestly, more power to them. They are an Australian success story, and we should be proud of them.

Anyone who says government support doesn't make a difference - just look at NZ television over the past few years. They've been able to do some amazing shows (along with all the reality TV), solely because the NZ government is willing to invest in funds for development.
Frankly, I don't know that blanket tax rebates are necessarily the way to go - I'd possibly prefer to see a grants system. Or maybe both in tandem.
- Bob Dog

This is all simply PR rubbish. They tried setting up a games division a few years ago and it collapsed badly. Mr Nalbandian has said many times before that they do not see games as something they do 'it's just not us' he said. Too right. I smell a political rat.
Oh, and Animal Logic DID NOT win an Oscar - George Miller did. In fact, George Miller did not even mention Animal Logic in his acceptance speech. Coasting on the coat-tails of real talent is simply vulgar. George realizes this and I imagine this is only one of the reasons he is making Happy Feet 2 with another Australian company.

The IDB Innovative Program "DEEP" a Pathfinder of Economic Empowerment in Palestine
Poverty and unemployment rates in Palestine are still imposing a serious challenge; about one out of three individuals (29.2 percent) were living below the poverty level in 2017[1]. Gaza Strip contributes more to national poverty than the West Bank; its share of the poor population is 71.2 percent compared to 28.8 percent of the West Bank[2].
Economic growth is the most powerful instrument for reducing poverty and improving the quality of life. In the case of Palestine, despite the increase of the Gross Domestic Product, this has not been noticeably reflected on reducing poverty and unemployment rates; on the contrary, there was an inverse relationship between poverty rate and GDP increase.[3]
Out of this situation, The Islamic Development Bank "IsDB" in Jeddah, initiate the creation and the design of an innovative initiative in Palestine called DEEP. The Palestinian People Economic Empowerment Program (DEEP) has emerged in 2006 to empower the poor and marginalized Palestinians and transfer them from being dependent on humanitarian assistance and charity aid to being dependent on themselves.

"Research your symptoms," says Eve Muller, a Los Angeles-based actress who has been working in medical schools as a simulated patient since 1990. Bodies manifest ailments in recognizable patterns that medical professionals are trained to observe and diagnose. It is not enough to say your belly hurts; exactly where and how does it hurt? Stomach pain could be food poisoning, an ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, appendicitis, twisted ovarian tubes or something else entirely. Know your malady's pathology and describe it with specificity. "You need to know anatomy," Muller says.
Before she interacts with students, a medical school gives Muller a detailed case study outlining the pretend patient's medical history, biography, symptoms and sometimes even scripted lines. Be similarly thorough in your preparation. If the condition requires a repeated physical action, like a limp or the trembling associated with Parkinson's disease, watch videos of real patients online and mimic their behavior in front of a mirror or on video. Use makeup, hair and clothing to help tell your story. "Look the part," says Muller, who paints bruises and rashes onto her body. She drinks yogurt smoothies to sound phlegmy if she's portraying someone with congestion. Sometimes she wears business attire; for other characters she jams dirt under her fingernails and rubs oil in her hair.
Recently, Muller, who trains new medical actors at the Keck School of Medicine of U.S.C., which started the first simulated-patient program in 1964, portrayed three different patients faking pain in an attempt to get opioids in a workshop for doctors learning to spot and handle such cases. Demanding specific medication often flags you as an impostor. To embody pain, tap into your own experience, if you have it. Those who have never felt high-level pain tend to be less convincing in their performance of physical suffering. Feel the imagined hurt in your body. "How would you walk?" Muller says. "How would you sit? If you're asked to lie down, what does that look like?"
Be careful, especially when fabricating fear, anxiety or extreme pain, which can be exhausting mentally and physically. "If you're talking about a throbbing, knife-stabbing headache over and over, your body starts to tense up," Muller says. "It's really easy to talk yourself into that one and walk away with a real headache."

Everything You've Ever Wondered About the Fizz in Your Beer
Carbonation is one of the signatures of a great beer, and most consumers take it for granted. Have you ever considered how much work and care is required to achieve a perfect and sustainable level of carbonation in every single can and bottle on store shelves? Read on to learn more about the fizz in your beer, and the next time you crack open a cold brew you'll be able to appreciate it so much more. The Natural Carbonation Way Natural carbonation is created during the fermentation process that makes beer. Since fermentation involves yeast digesting sugar to produce alcohol and carbon dioxide, a complete fermentation process results in carbonation becoming trapped in the beer. Brewers ensure carbonation develops by sealing the beer in a container at the end of its fermentation. This traps carbonation in place until the bottle is opened. It is also possible to achieve natural carbonation by allowing beer to ferment completely and leaving it unfiltered. This method keeps the yeast active. A small amount of sugar can be added during the bottling phase to trigger additional production of carbon dioxide gas. In this case, the bottles need to be quickly sealed to trap all of the CO2 as it develops. Forced Carbonation For Precise Results Forced carbonation is a bit quicker and more precise than natural carbonation. This method involves adding carbonation manually after fermentation has taken place. Carbon dioxide is simply pumped into the sealed container that holds the beer. It is immediately absorbed by the beer and held there until opened. There is no right or wrong method of carbonation, but it's important to find the technology that guarantees the best results. Meheen Manufacturing Inc. offers the filling and carbonating technologies necessary to produce brews your customers will love. Call (720) 406-7442 to learn more about Meheen's Tank Manager and how it can help you optimize your carbonation process.

3 Summer-Time Toxins That Make Stat!Syringe A Must For Any Dog Owner
Summer is the perfect time for you and your dog to explore the great outdoors; but warm weather also signals the return of poisonous substances that your dog wouldn't be exposed to during the winter. Below are three deadly toxins to watch out for this season.
Engine Coolant and Hydraulic Brake Fluid (Ethylene Glycol)
Ethylene glycol, commonly found in coolant/antifreeze and hydraulic brake fluid is one of the most common forms of poisoning for two reasons: first, it has many household uses, and second, it tastes sweet so dogs will ingest a lot of it at once. Symptoms of ethylene glycol poisoning include delirium, vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, coma, and death.
Insecticides, such as organophosphates, are commonly sprayed in flower gardens and mixed in with fertilizers and herbicides. Dogs can accidentally ingest the poison by eating plants that were recently sprayed, or by rolling on them and then licking themselves. Symptoms of insecticide poisoning include nausea, vomiting, drooling, seizures, coma, and death.
Hickory, Pecan, and Walnut Trees
While hickory nuts, pecans, and walnuts are not especially toxic to dogs, the mold that grows on those nuts can contain deadly mycotoxins. Trees are harvested in late summer and early fall, meaning that any nuts that fall prematurely from the tree are often left on the ground for passing dogs to eat. Symptoms of mycotoxin poisoning can include weakness, vomiting, seizures, and death.
Get proactive about your dog's safety this summer with Stat!Syringe. Stat!Syringe helps dog-owners administer hydrogen peroxide 3% efficiently to induce vomiting, giving you time to get your dog to the vet for treatment. If your vet instructs you to induce vomiting after your dog ate something poisonous, don't waste precious time fighting to get his mouth open! Fill Stat!Syringe with hydrogen peroxide 3% to the line corresponding to your dog's weight, insert the Stat!Syringe into the side of your dog's mouth, and effortlessly deliver the perfect dose by pushing the plunger.

Alchemist and Evidence are Step Brothers, both in terms of group name and friendship. The pair have been friends for many years, have collaborated musically before but the time for the joint album, Lord Steppington, as Step Brothers is almost upon us. We previously announced that Rhymesayers had released details of the project and today we've got the first single/video in the form of Step Masters (see below).
Step Masters sees A-L-C and Ev competing against each in various activities such as Jenga, peeling oranges and beer chugging; it's a rather clever and comical video directed by Jason Goldwatch. Evidence must have been a busy boy of late as he's also been touring with Dilated Peoples across Europe and preparing for their forthcoming album Director's Of Photogrpahy, also on Rhymesayers Entertainment. You can pre-order the album on iTunes here, which will give you Step Masters as an instant download, and pre-orders for physical copies should be online soon as well. According to Evidence on his Instagram account it has been delayed due to manufacturing problems but we should expect big things in terms of the final product.
One question remains… who caught the biggest fish?

But while in science observation is made much more effective by the use of mechanical instruments in registering facts, the facts with which art deals, being those of feeling, can only be recorded by the feeling instrument—man, and are entirely missed by any mechanically devised substitutes.While art is still opposing other activities here, please note that the author is trying to put it into a rational coordiate system with an explanation of an artist being a recorder for feelings, a complex recording device, not yet studied thoroughly but probably would sometime. No references to divine intervention and that pathetic stuff: the nature of many things and processes is unknown but there must be an explanation, and meanwhile we can give them names (i.e. Harmony, Beauty, Rhythm) and use them as black boxes knowing input and output.
[...] beauty is, strictly speaking, a state of mind rather than an attribute of certain objects, although certain things have the power of inducting it more than othersWhat a lovely Victorian era echo, badly missed nowdays.

It's 7AM on Thursday morning in Reykjavik, and I can't sleep. For whatever reason this entire trip has been a blurry week of going to bed barely able to keep my eyes open, then snapping wide awake about four hours later. I know this kind of thing happens to people this far north during the summer, when the daylight is endlessly long and you feel the urge to take advantage of the sun because you know that the dark season is coming. But Reykjavik has been a nothing but gray, from the impenetrable blanket of clouds covering the city and the battleship gray of the ocean in the harbor. I should be able to wrap a comforter around myself and sleep for days. But my head is still buzzing from last night's shows, so instead I'm in a dark room, looking out a window at a tree wrapped in white Christmas lights, and writing this, my first postcard to Airwaves '16.
I started the day over at Lucky Records, where King Lucky and Gestur had a whole pile of tapes, CDs, and records awaiting my perusal. Figuring out what I already had was the first step, and I've finally reached the point where I can't conclusively do that without the help of Discogs, which thankfully I was able to access on the store computer. I only had an hour in the morning for records, so my friends at Lucky put my growing "buy" pile in the back for me to return to later in the trip.
The reason I only had a hour at Lucky was because we were doing the Reykjavik Music Walk, a tour of the city led by music journalist and PhD student (and brother of Ghostigital's Curver) Arnar Eggert Thoroddsen. Arnar led us through a rambling tour of downtown, pointing out the Sugarcubes' old rehearsal space, locations of long-forgetter venues, and Björk's old apartment. He's knowledgeable and engaging, and despite having to dodge a few raindrops, our group of eight people plus a film crew shooting a documentary all had an enjoyable time. These tours usually take place in the summer, so if you find yourself in town and want a taste of the country's music scene, it's a fun way to spend a hour.
From there we grabbed some burgers and our wristbands before popping over to Reykjavik Record Shop to visit our friend Reynir and, of course, buy some records. I didn't go too crazy, but did walk out of there with Wormlust's The Feral Wisdom, Box's Skuggahliðin, a 12″ by Sniglabandið that I didn't have, plus a four song 12″ comp from Icelandic label Thule Records. I'll likely be back there again before the end of the trip once I see how full my record bag is.
After that we headed to the movie theater Bíó Paradís to catch an electronic set in their lobby area by Lady Boy Records artist Andi (left). I thoroughly enjoyed his self-titled cassette that came out back in May, and his live show was quite good. It started a bit slow, but moved into some more danceable beats that actually had group of a half dozen or so people dancing by the bar before it was all said and done. At times Andi subtly alters the BPM during the build-up, which can throw off your timing a bit but adds an interesting element to the music that keeps you on your toes.
The drizzle became a bit more consistent, but that didn't stop us from a quick stop-off at the new Icelandic PUNK Museum, which had it's grand opening at 5PM. Unfortunately we didn't have time to hang around long enough to get inside and check out the cramped quarters, which are in an old disused public bathroom underneath a city sidewalk, but were were there to hear none other than Johnny Rotten (of Sex Pistols fame – right) address the crowd and talk a bit about punk rock and the current state of music (revelation –> Johnny isn't terribly impressed). He was an entertaining speaker, though you could tell he wanted to interact a bit more with the crowd, which was actually being quite quiet and almost looking at him as a curiosity, a museum piece in and of himself, which is too bad because he was quite witty and making a strong effort to connect. I'm going to try to make it back there today to see the inside of the museum.
From there it was a mad dash to KEX Hostel to catch Singapore Sling (left). While we didn't think we had a shot at getting a good spot, a table opened up in the front right at the corner of the stage area and we immediately took it over. The position offered a fantastic vantage point for taking photos of the band's droning psych rock set. The only other time we'd seen Singapore Sling they were hamstrung by some horrible acoustics at the venue, but they suffered no such problems this time around, kicking out 25 minutes of killer music that was carried live by KEXP radio. Look for some videos of the set online in the upcoming weeks, and give a listen to their latest album Psych Fuck.
After a delicious pulled pork sandwich and a beer at our fortress of a table we were treated to the OG garage rockers hailing from Tacoma, Washington, The Sonics (below), who have been blowing people's minds since 1960. Not only were we stoked to see this seminal band play in Reykjavik, but it was doubly exciting because our friend and old high school classmate Evan Foster now plays guitar with The Sonics when they tour. It was obvious right from the packed soundcheck (after which the band remarked, "we don't usually soundcheck in front of this many people…") that this was going to be a high intensity show, and by the time 8:30 rolled around KEX was absolutely packed. Right in the front just off to our right were the members of Seattle's own Thunderpussy, who were obviously just as pumped as we were for the show.
And The Sonics rocked our faces off.
When you've been doing rock 'n' roll for 56 years, you learn a thing or two, and The Sonics brought all that knowledge and all those lessons to the stage at KEX where they completely and utterly destroyed the room. There was a heavy Seattle contingent in the crowd, which just increased the intensity level, and they band fed off of it from start to finish playing a blistering set that could have been a "How To" guide for rockers who want to start their own bands. Yeah, I get it, Nirvana defines the Seattle sound and all that. But just listen to some of those garage punk elements of The Sonics and you'll realize that all that late 1980s/early 1990s grunge owes at a minimum a head-nod and a bro-hug to trailblazers like The Sonics. And they're still bringing it long after all those other bands have disappeared. Long live The Sonics!
We hung around after the show and had a drink with Evan before departing for Iðnó, where we arrived fairly soaked but were fortunately able to find a few comfortable seats in the back where we could relax a bit. First up was a jazz rock type outfit called Ambátt, but the band we were really there to see was the darkwave trio of Kælan Mikla (left). They totally blew us away at Airwaves last year, and their self-titled 2016 release will most likely make at least one of my year-end "Top 5" lists. They brought intensity (and incense) to their set in front of a packed and appreciative room, and it was interesting to hear how much they've developed since the last time we saw them. The electronic beats had more variety, the bass playing more confidence and power, and the singing… the singing… when Laufey Soffía Þórsdóttir decides to go off it's startling that so much power can come out of that person, a mix of anger and rage and fear that is more cold and clinical than raw emotion, perfectly attuned to their style.
We only saw five bands, but it was a full and rewarding day. We actually had a conversation about just that with our friend and ex-pat Leana – that there were times at Airwaves when seeing as many bands as was humanly possible seemed to be a goal in and of itself, but that over the years we've been able to step back and take Airwaves as it comes, taking the time to re-connect with friends and enjoy the ride. And that's definitely what we're doing this year – enjoying the ride.
Well, I've been at the computer for just over an hour. It's a little after 8AM, and still as dark as midnight outside our apartment window. I may just need to crawl back into bed and see if I can sneak in a few more hours of shuteye before hitting the mean streets of Reykjavik again for another day of music. But probably not. And that's why they invented coffee.

Three years ago, Dr Luke Piggott made headlines worldwide when his research using anti-cancer agent TRAIL discovered that the drug knocked out the protein c-FLIP, which gives stem cells their drug resistance. At the time, he was balancing life as a PhD student and a professional ice hockey player with the Cardiff Devils.
It is widely known that bowel cancer is often driven by increased tumour cell survival and proliferation mediated by the deregulation of a key mechanism within gut cells controlled by the protein Wnt.

Children's ombudsman Margrite Klaverboer says the Dutch government will be infringing on fundamental childrens' rights if Lili and Howick are deported back to Armenia.
The children, aged 12 and 13, will be take to an orphanage on their return and their mother, who was deported a year ago, is unable to take care of them, Klaverboer told television programme Pauw on Thursday evening.
'I have read the file thoroughly and I know their mother is not capable of looking after them at the moment,' she said. 'There is no where for them to live and they cannot go to school.'
RTL Nieuws reported earlier on Thursday that finding a school for the children will be very difficult because they do not speak or write Armenian, and there is no education available, for example, in English.
The children are set to be deported on Saturday. They were born in Russia and have lived in the Netherlands for over 10 years, during which their mother made repeated efforts to claim asylum. However, they have not qualified for the government's amnesty for child refugees.
Kalverboer said the children's future is clearly in the Netherlands and that she has discussed the problems with junior justice ministry Mark Harbers. He has the right of discretion to grant the children a residence permit.
So far Harbers has refused to do so.
The Dutch supreme court, which ruled last month the children can be deported, said in its ruling that help is available for the children when they return if their mother is unable to care for them, as has been claimed. 'The children will not end up on the streets', the court said.
