SDSC's Comet Supercomputer Extended into 2021
HPC online
"Comet has served researchers as a key resource among a wide range of science domains and is an important resource for the analysis of data from large scientific instruments that led to recent landmark discoveries by scientists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO), the IceCube Observatory, and XENON Collaboration," said SDSC Director Michael Norman.
SDSC Researchers Use Machine Learning to More Accurately Model Water

The new study builds on the highly accurate and successful "MB-pol many-body potential" for water developed in Paesani's lab, which recently has emerged as an accurate molecular model for water simulations from the gas to liquid to solid phases. "This is a new methodology that could revolutionize computational chemistry," said SDSC Director Michael Norman.
UCSD Supercomputer Center shaped by two Del Mar residents
Del Mar Times online
Over the past 32 years, the Supercomputer Center's technology has advanced exponentially; its two latest super computers, Gordon and Comet, far outpace their early forerunner in speed, memory and other parameters. And two Del Mar residents, Sid Karin and Michael Norman, have helped guide the center to its current prominence as a research tool for the national academic community — one of four academic supercomputer centers operating across the United States.
New Supercomputer Comes Online At UC San Diego

Director Michael Norman said Comet shows how far computing has come since SDSC was founded. "It is 2 million times as powerful as the first supercomputer we had when we opened our doors," Norman said. In 1985, Norman said, supercomputers were only as powerful as an iPhone is today. Comet is funded for the next five years by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Norman said that funding supports about 10 new jobs.

Computational Cosmology and Astrophysics on Adaptive Meshes using Charm++arXiv preprint
James Bordner, Michael L Norman
2018 Astrophysical and cosmological phenomena involve a large variety of physical processes, and can encompass an enormous range of scales. To effectively investigate these phenomena computationally, applications must similarly support modeling these phenomena on enormous ranges of scales; furthermore, they must do so efficiently on high-performance computing platforms of ever-increasing parallelism and complexity.
The Growth of Black Holes from Population III Remnants in the Renaissance SimulationsarXiv preprint
Britton Smith, John Regan, Turlough Downes, Michael Norman, Brian O'Shea, John Wise
2018 The formation of stellar mass black holes from the remnants of Population III stars provides a source of initial black hole seeds with the potential to grow into intermediate or, in rare cases, possibly supermassive black holes. We use the Renaissance simulation suite to follow the growth of over 15,000 black holes born into mini-haloes in the early Universe.
First light–II. Emission line extinction, population III stars, and X-ray binariesMNRAS
Kirk SS Barrow, John H Wise, Aycin Aykutalp, Brian W O'Shea, Michael L Norman, Hao Xu
2017 We produce synthetic spectra and observations for metal-free stellar populations and high-mass X-ray binaries in the Renaissance Simulations at a redshift of 15. We extend our methodology from the first paper in the series by modelling the production and extinction of emission lines throughout a dusty and metal-enriched interstellar and circum-galactic media extracted from the simulation, using a Monte Carlo calculation.
First light: exploring the spectra of high-redshift galaxies in the Renaissance SimulationsMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
Kirk SS Barrow, John H Wise, Michael L Norman, Brian W O'Shea, Hao Xu
2017 We present synthetic observations for the first generations of galaxies in the Universe and make predictions for future deep field observations for redshifts greater than 6. Due to the strong impact of nebular emission lines and the relatively compact scale of H ii regions, high-resolution cosmological simulations and a robust suite of analysis tools are required to properly simulate spectra. We created a software pipeline consisting of fsps, hyperion, cloudy and our own tools to generate synthetic IR observations from a fully three-dimensional arrangement of gas, dust, and stars.
Galaxy Properties and UV Escape Fractions during the Epoch of Reionization: Results from the Renaissance SimulationsThe Astrophysical Journal
The Astrophysical Journal
2017 Cosmic reionization is thought to be primarily fueled by the first generations of galaxies. We examine their stellar and gaseous properties, focusing on the star formation rates and the escape of ionizing photons, as a function of halo mass, redshift, and environment using the full suite of the Renaissance Simulations with an eye to provide better inputs to global reionization simulations.

REA Annual Meeting 2021
5-9 July 2021, Online in Run The World
As scholars and practitioners of Religious Education and as members of the Religious Education Association, we approach teaching and learning as a holistic endeavor, and that is what often sets our work apart from other theological and religious fields.

True to form, Cheatahs set the early pace in this month's round-up, but it's an (Open Mike) Eagle that prevails by the end of this edition of EP Address….
Cheatahs – Sunne
I met a girl at a festival Cheatahs played a while back. At some point she mentioned she'd been given a free ticket by one of the band. "Oh, are they any good?" I asked, having heard of them without actually experiencing their music.
"No," she replied.
I laughed.
"No," she insisted, "Seriously – they're awful."
I laughed even harder, while also thinking it seemed a bit harsh. Still, I didn't bother going to see them after hearing that. And yet, listening to the spirited shoegaze of Sunne, I now kind of wish I had.
Sure it's nothing you haven't heard before, and I'm pretty sure British indie bands have squeezed the last possible drops of moisture from Kevin Shields' old jockstrap by now, but unlike most of their peers in this overcrowded scene they've at least bothered to write some tunes. The title track is full of warped sunshine which then gets all nice 'n' queasy during the instrumental sections of 'Campus', while 'Controller' and 'No Drones' rattle along enjoyably too. If you're chucking any more free festival tickets about boys, I'll take 'em.
Ex-Cult – Cigarette Machine
Being the keen bugger that he is, Luke O'Dwyer actually already reviewed this last month, comparing the band to a bunch of aggro urban foxes, "scavenging about in the shadows and living it up amongst the bins and shrubbery." Which is good enough for me. Seriously, a taste of this EP and you'll have a twenty (plays) a day habit.
Steve Gunn & The Black Twig Pickers – Seasonal Hire
Former Kurt Vile cohort Steve Gunn only very recently caught my ears thanks to last year's excellent Way Out Weather album, which took traditional American music and cunningly relocated it in exotic new climes. This much more traditional collaborative EP with Virginian four-piece The Black Twig Pickers could almost feel like a step backwards, but instead it comes across like a quick pit-stop back at home before setting off on another adventure.
If you're a fan of old-time American folk then Seasonal Hire will be right up your dusty, down-home alleyway. Sally Anne Morgan's vocals intertwine with some fine fiddling on 'Cardinal 51', while the sixteen minute ramble of the title track takes a few interesting dissonant turns. The one real take-home track however is 'Trailways Ramble', a hazy, droning take on a Gunn classic featuring the man himself on vocals. It's a satisfying slug of home-brewed magic that'll tide us over until his next solo jaunt.
Hawk – Clock Hands
I've got to be honest, I initially thought Irish warbler Julie Hawk's vocals were going to put me off this latest effort by the band who've taken her surname. A little too clean, a little too earnest, a little too cute, while obviously an accomplished vocalist her style nevertheless pushes a few of my musical buttons the wrong way. So the fact I never once moved to turn Clock Hands off must indicate something interesting taking place under the surface.
In the stand-out title track it's the gurgling guitars that suck you in, while on 'Hush' it's the unexpected blast of distortion that hits you in the face like sea spray after the placid folk of 'Footsteps'. I'm still not fully convinced, but there are enough fleeting Woodpecker Wooliamsisms elsewhere on the EP to confirm that these Clock Hands tell the right time more than twice a day.
Klassik – Spring
There's a touch of Kendrick Lamar's syncopated style to Milwaukee's Klassik on occasion, which is just well seeing as Kendrick seems to be being a little coy with new material (unless you happen to be the offspring of Michael Jackson, which frankly is a price probably not worth paying). That's about as modern as it gets on Spring, Klassik's second in a seasonal series of EPs, which otherwise looks to older acts like Blackalicious, Outkast and People Under the Stairs for a reassuring thumbs up.
Oddly, by travelling back in time a decade or so, he's managed to find a sound that feels refreshingly at odds with much of the identikit hip-hop of today, with only the snappy snares on sundowner 'Go Far' sounding particularly contemporary. The quirky 'Know It All' ratchets up the tempo with some breakneck verses that only slightly jar with the sing-a-long pop chorus, before the sweet horns of 'Otha Fish' smoothly take things back into the lounge. It's not going to get your adrenaline pumping, but as something to stick on as the sun starts to peep out, Spring satisfies its theme in a strictly old school style.
Open Mike Eagle – A Special Episode of…
Respect to self-declared 'art rapper' Open Mike Eagle for the first lyrical reference I've heard to last year's U2-sneaking-into-your-iTunes debacle. However, it's only one of many astute nods on 'Dark Comedy Late Show', the opening track on a new EP which proves to be a very special episode indeed. Spotify royalty rates, Vladimir Putin's macho posturing, even date rape controversies surrounding other rappers ("Hey yo', no poking, I'm still woke, Cee-Lo") all get a look-in, while more retro moments come with equally razor-sharp wit: "I still check Yahoo cause we both got attachment issues."
Yet he's just at home with less topical material, such as on 'Split Pants In Detroit (or Hyrule)', which is about, well, ripping your trousers open during soundcheck. While an appearance by MC Paul Barman mostly serves simply to remind you that he's still around, a better collaboration comes on 'Ziggy Starfish (Anti-Anxiety Raps)', produced by none other than Gold Panda, whose cut-up samples provide just enough spring for Open Mike Eagle's verses to bounce off.
"I'm so right brained I can't grow an even beard," he complains on the slumberous 'Raps For When It's Just You & The Abyss'. His barber's loss is music's gain. Run The Jewels may be hoarding all the indie hip-hop hype these days, but Open Mike Eagle is just as killer.
SoundQ – EP2
Kraków trio SoundQ win the award for most original use of vocals this month. Their latest EP opens with 'In a Swoon', and will likely have you in one by the songs' close, with the vocals manipulated to sound as if they're somehow being sung while inhaling. It's a neat trick, and sits perfectly with the track's tense, robotic electro.
As thrilling as 'In A Swoon' is, over the course of the EP the technique wears a little thin. The rushes of 'Restless' are a little Cyberdog for my tastes, while the RnB-styled 'Bones' just feels creepy, like someone clutching your hand for just a little too long while wearing leather gloves. Yeuch. It's up to the ambient peaks of 'Ecce Puer' to settle us safely back into swoonsville, and not a minute too soon.
Sun Glitters – Galaxy
Luxembourg's Victor Ferreira, aka Sun Glitters, is one of the most gently adroit producers around, with a sonic touch so graceful he could stack snowflakes. Galaxy's title track, however, seems to get lost in its own gentleness, with the guest vocal from Keep Shelly in Athens' Sarah P. only able to blow an indistinct path through the soft blizzard. Fortunately there's a bit more puff to 'Undeniable', while 'Clouds in Your Eyes', ironically, shows the clearest vision of them all despite its fractured beat.
A couple of remixes of 'Galaxy' round things off. La Fine Equipe's actually surpasses the original, recalling last year's sumptuous Moon Observations album by David Douglas, while Alphaat's more ambient take is enlivened a little when the beat kicks in. When it comes to the original tracks however, you're struck by a similar subtle invention to Son Lux; an invention better when brought to the fore, with starker contrasts between the differing textures. Hopefully the next Sun Glitters release will see him with more clouds in his eyes, rather than cotton wool in his ears.
Woo York – The Valley Of Songs
You wouldn't expect much blissful music to be coming out of Ukraine at the moment, but the latest EP from Kiev's Woo York turns out to be an exceedingly sumptuous way to wrap up this month's EP Address. The rounded sounds of the title track, complete with the occasional burst of birdsong, make for some of the most delicious minimal techno I've heard in a while.
Admittedly, the rest of the record struggles to maintain that impressive standard. The sleek 'Odyssey' and uneasy 'Black Soul' motor along nicely enough, but only the excellent 'Distance' really makes you want to get up and dance, albeit with a stern electro-grimace plastered onto your mush. The digital edition also comes with the lively bonus track 'He and She', but to be honest you'll already have been wooed by that point…

The good news is this type of performance improvement from your investment portfolio is possible and does not require picking the best mutual funds or finding the next hot stock. To achieve significant performance enhancements, you must master the one skill that separates the very few GREAT investors from the masses of simply ordinary investors… the art of patience. All great investors have one behavioral trait in common, they focus more energy on patience than they do looking for the next great investment idea.
While the quality of your investment portfolio certainly has an impact on your investing success, once you have a good investment strategy, great results can only be achieved by having the patience to stick with your investment strategy for the long-term. Total conviction in your investment strategy and a willingness to wait a decade or more to find out if your patience will pay off is required.
We can look at a hypothetical portfolio to see how profitable patience can be. The chart below shows how a portfolio that invested $10,000 in January of 1995 in the lowest risk stocks in the market (dark blue line) compares to a portfolio that invests $10,000 in an S&P 500 index fund (light blue line) over the same time period.
The low-risk stock portfolio turned the $10,000 initial investment into $136,939 compared to the S&P 500 index fund portfolio, which turned the $10,000 investment into only $90,545 over the same time period. The low-risk portfolio generated 464% higher compounded returns, which resulted in 66% more wealth for the low-risk portfolio investor compared to the S&P 500 index fund investor!
The low-risk investment portfolio clearly was a good investment strategy (learn more about low-risk investment portfolios). However, just looking at the chart and the returns of both portfolios understates how difficult it is to actually realize results like the low-risk portfolio achieved and why only the most patient investors will ever have a chance to attain this level of investing success.
Investing, at its core, is the art of navigating uncertainty. No investor has any idea how financial markets will perform in the future, which is what makes investing so hard. A fundamental truth about being human is that uncertainty makes us all uncomfortable and therefore we all have adapted some illogical behaviors that make us bad investors by default.
The behavioral tendency most responsible for preventing investors from being patient is called anchoring. When confronted with uncertainty, investors consciously and unconsciously, tend to look for reference points ("anchors") to help them make decisions, regardless of the anchor's relevance to their investment portfolio.
The S&P 500 is a broad measure of the stock market and quoted on almost all news programs and websites and continually referenced in headlines about stock market performance. Because of the ubiquity of the S&P 500 in our lives, most investors "anchor" their investment expectations to this measure of stock market performance, compelling them to continually compare their investment performance to the S&P 500.
For example, when the low-risk strategy investor in our example above, perceives that their portfolio is underperforming their anchor, greed and a fear of missing out on higher returns is likely to push them to chase returns, buy riskier stocks and take too much investment risk. Conversely, when the S&P 500 generates losses, fear of losing money in stocks is likely to push the low-risk portfolio investor to protect their assets and sell stocks.
This emotional decision making driven by investors anchoring their portfolio expectations to the S&P 500 results in systematically buying high and selling low… the opposite of a winning investment strategy.
When we look back at our portfolio comparison above, it is clear why only a great investor who has mastered patience would be capable of achieving the excellent results of the low-risk portfolio. From the start of the investment in January of 1995, the low-risk portfolio underperformed the S&P 500 for five straight years, resulting in cumulative underperformance by the low-risk portfolio compared to the S&P 500 of 148%!
Low-risk portfolio investors anchoring to the S&P 500 would have seen the following returns of their portfolio compared to their S&P 500 anchor:
Investors with the patience to weather the first three years of underperforming the S&P 500, almost certainly would have lost their nerve in 1998 or 1999 and abandoned their low-risk strategy. The average investor anchoring their portfolio expectations to the S&P 500 would have conclude their strategy was not working and change strategies to chase returns. We know how the low-risk portfolio ultimately performed through 2017, producing 66% more wealth than the S&P 500 index fund portfolio.
Therefore, losing patience and changing strategies would have had a huge cost for any low-risk portfolio investor who abandoned the strategy during difficult times. Had the low-risk portfolio investor exited the strategy in 1998 or 1999, they would have performed much worse than even the S&P 500 because of the poor performance of the low-risk portfolio in the preceding years, amplifying the impact of their investment mistake.
Patience is profitable because taking a contrary position to most market participants allows you to capitalize on their undisciplined, irrational and emotionally driven behavior. The irrational behavior of the masses is what creates investing opportunities. Following the pack will place you among ordinary investors and deliver just ordinary results. Instead, you should endeavor to be a great investor and profit from patience.

2011 Isle of Man TT
The star of the 2010 Isle of Man TT Ian Hutchinson is determined to be fit in time for the start of the British short circuit season, and says he will 'definitely' be back at the TT this year.
Hutchy dominated last year's races, taking victory in all five solo races on his Padgetts Honda machinery. He also enjoyed great results at the North West 200 and Ulster Grand Prix, as well as a strong run in the British Supersport Championship.
However, his season came to a disastrous end in September when he was involved in a first lap crash at Silverstone and was hit by another motorcycle while lying on the track.
Hutchinson was airlifted to hospital for treatment to compound fractures to his tibia and fibula in his left leg.
It was hoped he would be able to quickly recover from the broken leg, however the Bingley star has now revealed the extent of the injury was much worse than many thought and he had faced the prospect of losing his leg since the crash.
Despite the severity of the leg injury, Hutchinson said he is now well on the road to recovery and determined to return to racing as soon as possible. He has targeted the first round of the BSB season – at Brands Hatch in late April – for his racing return.
Hutchinson was speaking at the Adelaide Racer Awards in Belfast, where he was named IFS International Road Racer of the Year.
Hutchinson beat Keith Amor, Michael Dunlop, Ryan Farquhar, Bruce Anstey and Alastair Seeley to the prestigious title, which was decided by a panel which included journalists and racers like Brian Reid and Jeremy McWilliams.
Hutchy, still on crutches, chatted with show presenter Stephen Watson about his injury, the amazing 2010 season he enjoyed and his hopes for 2011.
Ian Hutchinson says: "I will definitely be back. It has been a bit up and down. I kept it quiet because there have been times when there was a possibility I was going to lose my leg, but I'm all right now.
"I just wanted to get back up there and win. I am definitely going to be back. The start of the British championship is what I'm aiming for."
Hutchinson added he was it was 'unbelievable' to have been part of the record-breaking team which dominated the TT last year.
It is still to be confirmed what team Hutchy will be with in 2011.
During the awards ceremony Ryan Farquhar, who finished on the podium twice during last year's TT, was handed the prestigious Geoff Duke Trophy after dominating the 2010 Duke Road Race Rankings. The rankings award points for selected national and international road races throughout the year, recognising riders who concentrate on the roads.
Farquhar was presented with the trophy by Duke managing director Peter Duke, who confirmed that after topping the rankings for the third year in a row the Dungannon rider would now keep the trophy.

A GROUP of American senators is putting pressure on the Bush administration
not to approve an international convention to regulate mining in Antarctica.
The senators claim that the text proposed for the convention does too little
to protect the natural environment of Antartica, and want new negotiations
to be opened around the idea of turning the continent into a vast natural
The proposed convention is expected to be the subject of heated discussions
when the 22 signatories of the Antarctic Treaty meet in Paris next week.
The treaty, which came into force in 1961, was signed in 1959.
The senators opposed to the current wording are led by Albert Gore of
Tennessee, a leading candidate for the Democratic nomination in last year's
presidential elections. Gore has introduced a bill into the US Congress
which would ban all mining in the continent, and would 'establish full protection
of Antarctica as a global ecological commons'.
The full title of the proposed agreement, which is currently supported
by the US administration, is the Convention on the Regulation of Antarctic
Mineral Resource Activities, usually referred to as the Wellington Convention.
It has been the subject of intense negotiation over the past seven years,
and would allow mining to take place in Antarctica if approved by all the
signatory states.
Supporters of the convention, including the US State Department, argue
that without it, Antarctica would be left unprotected, since it is unlikely
that all parties would agree to a total and permanent ban on mining. But
opposition is growing. Both Australia and France have said that they want
all mining banned in Antarctica, and the area turned into a wilderness park.
They have said that they will not sign the convention as it stands because
it would still allow mining to take place, even under controlled conditions.
At next week's meeting in Paris, the 15th Antarctic Treaty Consultative
Meeting, the two countries are expected to propose an alternative 'comprehensive
regime' to regulate all human activity in the Antarctic. This would involve
designating the whole area as a park or reserve.
There appears to be strong support for this idea from several other
signatories to the Antarctic Treaty, including Belgium, Italy and India,
while favourable signs have been given by the Soviet Union, Sweden, West
Germany and Poland. New Zealand and Chile have both said that they oppose
the Australian proposal, and are drawing up their own recommendations for
the region.
So far, however, the US State Department has continued to support the
Wellington Convention. Officials say they are worried that once a major
mineral deposit is discovered, it will be impossible to reach any sort of
agreement on mining at all. This, they say, will cause discord, and weaken
the whole Antarctic Treaty.
The Bush administration is reported to be trying to keep all discussion
of turning Antarctica into a wilderness park off the formal agenda of next
week's meeting in Paris. But the Wellington Convention is still expected
to become one of the most discussed issues at the meeting.
Environmental issues will dominate much of the official proceedings.
The agenda is filled with resolutions on topics such as waste disposal,
the regulation of tourism, and standards for evaluating the impact of human
activities in the region.
The wreck in January of an Argentinian tanker, the Bahia Paraiso, has
also raised interest in protecting the waters surrounding Antarctica. The
US wants to extend the Antarctic Treaty to cover the marine environment
of the continent and define the liability of those will despoil it.
The Argentinian ship is still stranded on the rocks in Antarctica and
spilling oil. The difficulties of conducting an international salvage operation
will make it likely that the ship will still be there a year from now, according
to American officials, illustrating the fragility of both environmental
and of international cooperation in the region.

Why Eco-filtration
Law and Regulations
In many European countries, governments are busy drafting new laws and regulations, which in the future,
counteract or prevent the use of chlorine and chemicals to purify pools (sustainability policy).
This to counteract or prevent the waste of:
• Water (e.g. water for swimming pools)
• Energy (the pumps used for the filter systems)
• Nature (cleaning of the pool, replacing the pool water and discharging the polluted water)
• Our Health (we swim in water containing chlorine, chemicals or salt is)
and to protect the environment. To achieve this, we have to look for innovative and sustainable solutions.
Herein Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia and England are progressive. It also means that it is regulated in a European Context (EURO COUNTRIES) of the Act and regulations. Portugal is one of the EU Member States and should also implement sustainable policy, as there is a shortage of water and the water price per cubic is high!
The European Commission has published in 2000 the "Water Framework Directive". This framework is designed to protect all waters within the EU and to improve its quality, so both the surface water, groundwater, transitional waters and coastal waters. The European Commission requires Member States to ensure that by 2015 all waters meet a quantity of so-called ecological quality, in good condition and in addition, by that time, the use of water must be sustainable.
End of 2012 the European Commission presented the Blueprint Water. The blueprint water introduces a comprehensive set of measures to implement the Water Framework Directive and for efficient and sustainable use of water.
Swimming is healthy!
This thesis applies if the bathing water and the air above the water surface are healthy for the swimmer. Research has shown that in a pool are found far more bacteria than previously thought. In particular in the filtration system, in the pipes and on the swimming pool walls, large biomass of bacteria develop which are resistant to chlorine. These bacteria can lead to disease germs and this must be avoided.
It is only partially true that by adding chlorine to the water bacteria are killed.
Individual bacteria contained in the water are indeed slain. Where the water is in contact with a surface, the bacteria quickly develop into a bio-film. The largest area that is in contact with the swimming water is the filter bed (in the current filtering systems in combination with chlorine or chemicals) of the sand/chlorine filtration and therefore exactly there always occur bio-film.
The slimy biofilm is resistant to chlorine. A bio-film has locally a very low pH (locally up to a value of pH 3 to 4), which develops Tri-chloramine (a process in which chlorine reacts with ammonia) and Tri-chloramine is not desirable in swimming water.
Increasingly, governments (including EU) ask the question, how bacteria and Tri-chloramine formation can be prevented.
By using an Eco-filtration system, combined with Active Filter Medium and No-Phos, you will achieve a healthy balance in the pool. This is now recognized as a perfect product and then swimming is actually very healthy!
Besides that this system ensures healthy swimming water, this system is an innovative sustainable product and very environmentally friendly, because we do not use chlorine and chemicals. Due to the unique automatic backwash system, water wastage is avoided. By using energy efficient pumps it also takes into account the energy consumption.

For a change, there was someone who took pictures of me doing my thing as I was travelling in the Netherlands. I arrived late October 2017, so it was very much Autumn in the province of Drenthe (where these were all taken). There was plenty of rain but that doesn't stop the dedicated photographer! Shortly after we arrived on Schiermonnikoog Island it began to rain (with a length of 16 km and a width of 4 km, Schiermonnikoog is the smallest inhabited Wadden island). We rode from the ferry dock on bikes (me on a mobility scooter) all around the island for most of the day.
By the time we arrived at the village, we were soaked, where it was a grateful stop for a warming cup of tea.
In the afternoon, the sun came out and it was relatively warm.
The other images here were taken in other parts of Drenthe. I loved walking through the forests here - so different from what I know as forests/bush back home in Australia. Everything was just so green, with an endless range of shades. Apparently, the seasonal colours this year (2017) were a bit late.

Special Note: This article is a collaborative effort by writers of The Havok Journal.
Up: Hillary Clinton has deep political experience. First Lady of Arkansas from 1979 to 1981 and 1983 to 1992. First Lady of the United States from 1993 to 2001, Senator from New York for eight years, Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013. She's an Ivy League law graduate who's been an advocate for women's rights, adoption rights, and a number of social causes. Her husband may have been the 42nd President but she is accomplished in her own right. That experience should not be ignored.
Up: Support for the Americans with Disabilities Act. As of 2015 there were over 1500 veterans with major limb amputations from overseas contingency operations. Over 30,000 more were classified with severe or moderate brain injuries. Many of them are between 18 and 25 years old, meaning they have a lot of life left to live. Meaningful employment without segregation and disability is a worthy cause to stand with, especially if you say you "
Up: Adversarial stance on Chinese foreign policy. China's power in the world grows with each passing year. Chinese cyber warfare and naval capabilities are key components to their rise. Read about the PRC's increasingly hard-line approach in Hong Kong and you'll remind yourself China is not to be handled with kid gloves.
Down: Her penchant for secrecy. She seems so excessively secret and paranoid that she very often causes the scandal which she is attempting to avoid. A lot of the trust problems people have with her are her own fault. Overcoming integrity issues —perceived or real— during the debates may prove a difficult task.
Down: Her overwhelming focus on her opposition candidate. The 2016 election is unlike anything we've seen before, perhaps with a slight comparison to Barry Goldwater's campaign in 1964. When a Washington Post contributor and Tufts University PhD states the core statement of your foreign policy speech is "I'm an adult and therefore not Donald Trump," you know you have a glaring perception and support problem.
Down: Benghazi. No way around it, this issue, right or wrong, has infected her campaign. The truth may never come out on this one. The U.S. State Department diplomatic compound in Libya was attacked on September 11, 2012, and United States Ambassador Christopher Stevens was killed along with three other Americans. Libya remains a failed state. Regardless of who becomes President, helping Libya back into stability will appropriately honor Ambassador Stevens' legacy.

Twenty-Five Twenty-One is a television series produced by tvN. It tells the story of the youth that had to give up their dream due to the Asian Financial Crisis of 1998. The tv series, loved for the story and the visual style, was shot in Jeonju. Let's visit the spots where Na Hee-Do (Kim Tae-Ri) and Back Yi-Jin (Nam Joo-Hyuk) walked.
Back Yi-Jin's blue gate house and alley
Do you remember the scene where Na Hee-Do and Back Yi-Jin decided they'll be together and kissed in a dark snowing alley? This scene was shot near Back Yi-Jin's house, which is located in an older neighborhood of Jeonju. The house is used as a guesthouse and a community space. Yet, the house will soon disappear due to the urban redevelopment. More people are visiting this spot.
The house of Back Yi-Jin
Address: Inbongnamro 40-29, Wansangu, Jeonju
Na Hee-Do's house Crossing Guesthouse
This is where Back Yi-Jin met Na Hee-Do during delivering newspapers. The white gate, the streetlight under which Back Yi-Jin waited for Na Hee-Do, and the wooden stairs are there. Also, the view from here is magnificent, as this spot is located below the Omokdae Pavilion. You may also come across the spot where Back Yi-Jin delivered newspapers.

Omokdaegil 5-19, Wansangu, Jeonju
The tap fountain scene at Jeonju Jeil High School
Back Yi-Jin was upset by the creditors. Na Hee-Do brought him to the school outdoor taps and make fountains by rotating the taps. Eventually they were chased away by the school guard, but they seemed to be happily enjoying the moment. This scene was shot in Jeonju Jeil High School. The outdoor tap no longer exists, but there are plenty of couples working out on the playground.

Hanbyukgul Tunnel
After being chased away by the school guard, Na Hee-Do and Back Yi-Jin arrive at Hanbyukgul Tunnel. This is where the two took care of each other and also parted ways. Hanbyukgul Tunnel was created during the Japanese occupation for trains. Now it's a great spot to walk along Jeonjuchun River and to take photos against the tunnel.

Address: Girindaero 2, Wansangu, Jeonju
Hee-Do and Yi-Jin walks the Baramssoeneungil trail
Hanbyukgul Tunnel leads to Baramssoeneungil with lush trees. It's where Baek Yi-Jin road bike to deliver newspapers and where Yi-Jin and Hee-Do walked together. I recommend renting a bike and riding it along the trail like Yi-Jin. It only costs a thousand won from the nearby public bike rental.
Address: Baramsseoneungil, Wansangu, Jeonju (Jeonju Eco Museum direction)
Namgosanseong-gil and Ahyun Super
Ahyun Super is a corner store where Baek Yi-Jin and Na Hee-Do quarrelled and Yi-Jin saved Hee-Do from a speeding motorbike. The corner store was built temporarily for the shooting and was destroyed afterwards. But the city of Jeonju rebuilt the place for the drama fans. The flat bench is still there too.

Namgosanseong 1gil 13, Wansangu, Jeonju
Sori Bangatgan book rental store
If you cross Namcheongyo Bridge from Jeonju Hanok Village into Seohak Art Village, you may find the book rental store where Baek Yi-Jin used to work part time and Na Hee-Do used to borrow her favorite comic book series 'Full House'. This spot is currently not a book rental, but on the outside of the building there's the old book rental signboard. Seohak Art Village has many craft stores and galleries too.

Since that is the first hatch of the yr with a sizable meal on the large Hole, trout tend to key into Skwalas pretty rapidly. Because the ice breaks free from the large Hole and water warms to between 45-48 degrees for a constant period of time, skwalas begin to migrate to the banks of the big Hole River to hatch.

I am an art historian, popular culture scholar, visual artist, curator, art consultant, editor & writer.
In 2012, I taught my first independent seminar in my living room. Fueled by homemade baking and great discussions, the salon style atmosphere in that Themes in Contemporary Art & Television seminar was magical. After many years of working as an adjunct professor at universities and colleges in the UK, the US, and Canada, I realized that I really enjoy teaching outside of the confines of academia.
I have since gone on to teach many independent seminars in my living room focused on learning and talking about art, interior design, television, film, feminism, and pop culture. I have also created a virtual living room with my live, participatory online seminars and I am currently creating a series of recorded online classes.
I am the editor-in-chief of Luma Quarterly, an online journal about film and media art, with a focus of Western Canada.
I have written a book about supernatural creatures in contemporary art, film and television from 2000 to the present and am currently looking for a publisher. The book is inspired by a seminar that I teach in my living room and online: Vampires to Zombies: The Supernatural in Art, Film & TV .
I am also creating a podcast called Supernatural Creature Feature. Each episode will focus on a supernatural creature in 21st century film or TV episode in relation to a contemporary artwork with interviews with actors, directors, writers, visual artists, academics, set designers, and costume designers.
I created kh1 art consulting to teach independent seminars; help clients buy art for their homes, offices, and businesses; offer interior design services; and provide writing and research services for artists.
I have taught courses about third nine different topics. My artwork has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in Canada, the US, and the UK.

I received my PhD in the History of Art from University College London in 2007. I also hold an MA in Art History from University of Western Ontario; a BFA from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design; a BA from McGill University; and a Diploma of Interior Design from the Interior Design Institute.

Freshwater covers only a tiny fraction of the earth's surface, but it is a vital meeting place for many animals - the stage on which millions gather to find a mate. Yet with so little of it available, and often only briefly, the challenge for most individuals is how to overcome intense competition when your rivals are just as dependent on the precious freshwater for their success. Whether it is from melting ice, torrential rain or shrinking wetlands, the cycle of freshwater is the trigger for spectacular mating rituals and fierce combat. The start of the rains in South Africa triggers a violent battle between male giant African bullfrogs. Rare hooded grebes in Patagonia perform one of nature's more comical dances to seduce their partner, and a male cichlid fish builds a home for his harem from old snail shells, but a sneaky dwarf has the last laugh there. The mating season for animals that live in freshwater is often determined by when is best for their new offspring - even if that moment is far from ideal for the parents. In the wetlands of Zambia, female lechwe antelope search for the strongest males while contending with drought, and in the Pantanal of Brazil at the end of the dry season, caimans congregate in huge numbers around the last remaining water to perform their spectacular displays. For all those dependent on the cycle of freshwater to breed, timing is everything.
