The Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts, may be this country's oldest continuing museum…or it may not be. Given its other distinctions, that hardly matters. Founded in 1799 by the wealthy entrepreneurs of Salem whose merchant ships sailed to India, Japan, Africa, China, the Pacific Islands, and beyond, it began with the curious idea of presenting the citizens of Salem with exotic treasures brought back from those places, something the museum continues to do courtesy of generous donors, adventurous curators, and minus the risky sea voyages. What can be said with certainty is that PEM remains our most curious museum in every good sense of that word-an unusually open place dedicated to asking questions, especially questions that unlock the past and charge it with newness. It was the ideal place to join a group of artists and the museum's curators to consider how art in our time can be presented and experienced.

By 1825 the society had moved into its own building, East India Marine Hall, which today contains the original display cases and some of the first objects brought back by members from the northwest coast of North America, Asia, Africa, Oceania, India, and elsewhere.

But let us back up a moment for a few facts: Peabody Essex was originally two institutions, the Peabody Museum of Salem and the Essex Institute. A bold sea change came about in 1992 when the two were joined and the first of PEM's stupendously successful fund-raising campaigns ($194 million) followed by a wing designed by Moshe Safdie resembling the billowing rigging of a sailing ship announced a new era. By 2003, when the museum installed the two-hundred-year-old Yin Yu Tang house brought over from China, it was clear that PEM was remaking itself on a grand scale. An additional 175,000 square foot expansion, which was to be designed by the late Rick Mather, has now been awarded to Ennead Architects (formerly Polshek Partnership) and should open in 2019. The museum continues to collect and present Oceanic, Asian, American, and Native American work, and it continues to be insistently curious about the effect these things can have on the lives of its no longer affluent Salem neighbors as well as on our own.
When chief curator Lynda Hartigan describes PEM's ambition to be "transformational" in its impact on people, she speaks for everything from its ArtLink program for local schoolchildren to a scholarly project like Karina Corrigan's research on eighteenth-century Indian palampores, to curator of contemporary art Trevor Smith's FreePort series that opens the museum's collections to artists who are encouraged to approach them with new eyes.
Most museums are eager to increase attendance and visibility by tapping into the energies of the contemporary art market. They want the allure of the new, but they tend to isolate it as if containing a contagion-whether it is from the contagion of the new or the disease of the old one can't always be sure. PEM by contrast exudes confidence about the conjunctions of old and new; its curators seem comfortable in both worlds, at ease with one another and with the innovations of PEM's FreePort project. That FreePort is more open and immersive than most museum forays into contemporary art is best illustrated by Michael Lin's current installation in the Asian Export Art galleries. Lin has painted the staircase and floors of the galleries with heraldic motifs snatched from the Chinese export armorial porcelain in PEM's immense collection, thereby liberating them from their association with whatever families originally brandished them. In a complementary move he had hundreds of replicas made of the fat and hapless figure Mr. No-Body, presumed to be the first representation (late 1600s) of a European gentleman in Chinese porcelain. Made at a factory in China, these new Nobodies, which Lin calls Everybodies, line ceramic drying racks in one of the galleries and are for sale in the gift shop. While Lin's heraldic paintings turn our attention away from the grandees who commissioned them and back to the motifs themselves, his Nobodies raise questions of scarcity and value (a rare late seventeenth-century Mr. No-Body sold at Christie's last January for $158,000) and elicit a laugh at the expense of these rapidly proliferating predators.
One of the things that make the collections at PEM exciting is the fact that its curators do not try to domesticate their strangeness. A Japanese helmet, a portable shrine for the goddess Guanyin, the wallpaper from Strathallan castle in Scotland, even the presumably familiar ship's models and maritime paintings are all allowed to startle us a little, as they should. By doing so they give us the entry point for really seeing them as the visiting artists did in the two days we spent looking and talking together.
PEM began more than two centuries ago as a museum intent on opening New England eyes to a world few of its neighbors could have imagined. In the East India Marine Hall, among the war clubs and masks originally donated by the founders, you can feel those mariners' excitement, sense the dangers they faced, maybe even their desire to capture a vast and unaccountable world between walls. During our visit the artists and curators began to envision the museum as open to the world in a new way, those walls as newly or potentially transparent, and PEM itself as, in the words of María Magdalena Campos-Pons, "a huge egg waiting to hatch." That is an apt metaphor for the future of the institution, containing as it does the breaking of an old frame, an opening out, and the promise of new life inevitably emerging from and connected to the past.
New eyes on Peabody Essex: Kent Monkman
Kent Monkman
Kent Monkman is a readable artist, which sometimes means that he is easily misread. His films, installations, performances, and paintings invite interpretation as satirical reimaginings of North American art history by a Canadian artist of Cree descent. That Monkman also has a transgender alter ego he calls Miss Chief Eagle Testickle who figures in much of his work only increases the likelihood of the occasional glib interpretation. His work is indeed often satirical but it is always much more than that.

- Battle between the USS Constitution and the HMS Guerrière by Michele Felice Cornè (1752-1845), 1812. Each is oil on canvas, 32 ¾ by 47 ¾ inches. These paintings depict the most celebrated battle in American naval history. "Cornè worked from study sketches of the ship as well as firsthand descriptions of the battle, yet his final creation reached far beyond these documentary sources," says Daniel Finamore, Russell W. Knight Curator of Maritime Art and History. Museum purchase.
- The Triumph of Mischief by Monkman, 2007. Acrylic on canvas, 84 inches by 11 feet. In a lighthearted challenge to the imperatives of art history, the transgender figure of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle and other First Nations people are among the historically marginalized figures who assume center stage in this canvas inspired by nineteenth-century landscape painting while a bemused Picasso looks on. Photograph by John Goldstein, courtesy of the artist.
Born in St. Marys, Ontario, in 1965, Monkman grew into an artist who is keenly aware of the way that nineteenth-century art painted First Nations people out of history, but one who nonetheless has a fine appreciation of the technical skills of a Bierstadt or a Catlin. Where many artists of his background might have looked to abstraction for a new pictorial language to escape the sorry business of Canada's native populations, Monkman has chosen instead to appropriate and misappropriate the conventions of history painting to get under the skin of those narratives, to make a scene, as Miss Chief does in The Triumph of Mischief where she rules a tableau of cultural mayhem while a lesser figure like Picasso looks on, nonplussed and ignored. But if you see that painting and miss its homage to the painterly majesty of, for instance, the Hudson River school, you have missed half of what makes Monkman so good-and so much fun.
Miss Chief is not to be misread as a drag queen and her films, tableaus, and performances are not camp, having no whiff of the insincerity that camp often implies. She is instead Monkman's version of the berdache, a two-spirit figure common to many Native American tribes who occupies both genders, and in that sense can look both ways at once…just as Monkman does in revering the painting of a Tiepolo or a David but calling it into question at the same time. The unmistakable depth of art historical reference in his satire as well as its lightheartedness has made Monkman quite popular in Canada. He is also well represented in Europe and in the United States, where he is featured in the exhibition Sovereign: Independent Voices at the Denver Art Museum until August 17.
In many ways Peabody Essex is the ideal venue for Monkman's work; his giant tipi of crystal beads containing films created by Miss Chief at the museum's 2012 Shapeshifting: Transformations in Native American Art set the tone for the surprises that exhibition held in store for anyone with preconceived notions about Native American art. In going through PEM's collections with us what drew Monkman's attention was not what you might expect. He wanted to talk about the richness of the museum's many maritime paintings, especially the four by Michel Felice Cornè depicting the 1812 battle between the USS Constitution and HMS Guerrière.
PEM is uneasy about being too narrowly identified as a maritime museum given the immense range of other holdings and its ambitions for the future, but Monkman sees the maritime works as the metaphorical portal to the collection. "Everything in the collection came off of these ships," he says, "the people, the goods, all of it. And I like the symbolism of the sea, the mystery of what is on the other side of the ocean." He then adds another note to his appreciation by observing that "they also interest me because of their technical difficulty." The depiction of water is something that has interested Monkman since childhood and he is, he says, about to make a huge (ten by twenty foot) maritime painting of his own for the first time. Museums often invite him to go through their collections so he was especially impressed that when PEM invited him to do so they were interested in his point of view. "Curators and artists do need to talk to each other," he says. "It's great that they are asking us to come in and saying, 'What do you think. What is your impression of what we are doing?'" These are fruitful questions because this is an artist who has thought about how the museum might remystify the sea by presenting its maritime paintings in a different context, in different formats, with different companion pieces. Given the spirit of this place, that just might happen.
New eyes on Peabody Essex: Shelagh Keeley
Shelagh Keeley
Shelagh Keeley draws on walls. She has been doing so for the past thirty-plus years, and as we go to press she is drawing on the walls of the renowned Abteiberg Museum of contemporary art in Monchengladbach, Germany. So perhaps it is no surprise that the Canadian native zeroed in on the remarkable late eighteenth-century Chinese export wallpaper at PEM. "I was floored by it," she says. "It looked so contemporary, and it touched a nerve in the way it brought one place and time into another, just as I do in my work. Plus," she adds, "it was actually painted by hand-up close you can see places where the artist changed his mind and redrew lines."
- Shelagh Keeley standing with eighteen panels from a set of hand-painted Chinese export wallpaper, c. 1800. Watercolor and tempera on mulberry paper, each panel, 11 feet 6 inches by 48 inches. The paper originally hung in the present Strathallan castle in Scotland, home of James Drummond (1767-1851), one of the most powerful figures in the China trade, and his wife Lady Amelia Sophia Murray. Purchased in honor of William R. Sargent, with funds in part from the Lee and Juliet Folger Fund.
- Detail of Steel Notebook by Keeley, 2004. Oil stick on eight steel panels, each 96 by 48 inches. Executed on-site at the Nature Morte Gallery in New Delhi, the 32-foot long work depicts bits of plants and viscera, addressing issues of life and aging. Robert McLaughlin Gallery, Oshawa, Ontario.
Keeley does much more than draw on walls, of course. She photographs, makes collages, creates artist's books of drawings and photographs-some one-offs, others printed in small editions-and she does series of smaller drawings. But, always, she is expressing her universe of the moment, almost as though she is writing a journal, drawing from past and immediate experience, emotion, poetry, sometimes politics, and history. She uses a slew of different mediums, from charcoal, pastels, graphite, and gouache to more visceral wax crayons, acrylic paint, oil stick, and pure pigment. She's worked on plaster, steel, and wood walls, as well as on paper.
At Canada's York University (from which she received a BFA in 1977) Keeley found herself drawn to African art and anthropology and, at eighteen, made her first visit to Africa. By her senior year she realized that art, not academics, was her destiny. She subsequently returned to Africa several times, including making a twenty-three thousand kilometer trip across the continent in 1983, which resulted in her first major works, one of which was the walls of a room in the Embassy Hotel, an alternative art venue in London, Ontario. It already embodied her concept of taking one space and time and bringing it into another. "I took a building, a fort, that I had experienced in Algeria and brought it into that room using photos and other media on the walls. It was sort of a political statement. South Africa was still under apartheid, and the fort represented the success of Algeria's fight for freedom from France."
Over the next two decades Keeley lived in New York and Paris, and back-and-forth between the two, before returning to Toronto in 2006. "In Paris I lived on the rue de Babylone in the seventh arrondissement-it was like slipping into the eighteenth century. I love the fabrics, the painting, the Sèvres porcelain, the interiors, the architecture of the whole period, but especially the clothing, jewelry, and the colors of the Directoire. I have always been drawn to decorative arts-most artists are-we don't work simply in our own time and place."
A constant traveler, Keeley has produced site-specific works around the globe. One of the most unusual-and provocative-resulted from an invitation in 2009 to work at a model housing complex that Mao had created for his workers in Shanghai in 1952. "It may have seemed fabulous at the time, but it is pretty grim today," she says. "Many of the residents are still there-they cannot afford to go anywhere else." She did not want to invade their homes, but across the street was a park with an "odd little teahouse or pavilion by a lake," she recalls. The building was falling apart, the plaster walls pockmarked with cracks. Referencing traditional methods of repairing ceramics by filling and painting, she decided to fill the fissures with gold paint, creating what looks something like an expressionist painting. "The Communist party ended up loving it," she says. "We made small books of photographs of the project and of the people and gave it to many of them-they cried looking at them-though illiterate, they were so proud to see themselves and the work in a book."
There are hazards to drawing on walls if you want to preserve your legacy as an artist, of course: they are hard to display in museums and they are prone to demolition or overpainting. Jonathan Hallam, an art and antiques dealer in Hudson, New York, recalls a wall he commissioned from Keeley in his New York City apartment in the 1990s: "I had always been fascinated by the painted rooms of the mid-century European avant-garde and wanted Shelagh to work in this way-the mural she created was a spiritual and powerful blend of the organic and literary, the perfect backdrop for my pared down modernist sensibility. But I sold the apartment a couple of years later and moved permanently to Columbia County. I often wonder-and regret-what might have happened to it." At the time, Keeley says, it wasn't an issue. "My work is about immediacy, about the moment in time I am creating it."
Even so, she is very pleased that the Abteiberg Museum has sourced a new kind of paper that fuses with the wall, so that the project she is doing there can be removed and preserved. We are hopeful that she will soon return to the Peabody Essex Museum and create a work there that will bring one time and place into another.
New eyes on Peabody Essex: Sebastian Errazuriz
Sebastian Errazuriz
The sea is a subject that crosses the mind of Chilean-born, New York-based artist and designer Sebastian Errazuriz often, and on many levels. For starters, it reminds him of his grandfather, who worked all his life for a steamship company in South America and as a weekend hobby built little ship models in a tiny woodworking shop in Santiago. At the other end of the spectrum, Errazuriz thinks about the mystery and infinitude of the sea and of the ideas of life and death and spirituality that go with it-he's even created Boat Coffin, which allows you to sail into the sunset of life on your own terms.
- Boat Coffin by Errazuriz, 2011-2012. Evoking the funeral traditions of the Egyptians and Vikings, Boat Coffin was created to facilitate the voyage to the next world. Courtesy of Cristina Grajales Gallery, New York.
- Leland Marshall photograph.
- Friendship, full hull model made by Thomas Russell and a Mr. Odell, 1803-1804. Length 10 feet. The model was built aboard the original Friendship on a voyage from Salem to Canton and Sumatra in 1802-1804. Russell was the second mate and Odell the ship's carpenter. A gift for the son of the ship's master, Captain William Story, the model was donated to the East India Marine Society prior to 1806 because of its large size.
The Boat Coffin's mix of function and philosophy-and a touch of humor-is a hallmark of the work of the thirty-six-year-old Errazuriz, who grew up in Chile and London, where his father, studying for a PhD in art education, often took him to look at and analyze paintings and drawings and other works of art. "In some ways my future was preordained-it's not like I reached a certain age and decided, 'Gee I think I'll be an artist'-everything was set up already," Errazuriz says. But, in fact, he found that he was as intrigued by objects as by painting and sculpture, and ultimately took a design degree in Santiago and an MFA from New York University.
"In designing objects you have function and aesthetics to consider-like Chippendale designing a chair, for instance-and you have measurable qualities and established techniques for determining success," he says. "But little by little in design I began to miss the elements-psychological, political, existential elements-often found in works of art, but which design has not always accommodated." The Boat Coffin offers both, fully functional yet also intended to make one think about how one might want to die, not hooked up to machines in a hospital bed, but, perhaps, after final goodbyes and thanks to friends and family, waving farewell and motoring out to sea, closing the "hatch," and opening the built-in drain.
The model of the three-masted East Indiaman Friendship in PEM's Maritime Gallery drew Errazuriz's attention immediately. Evoking the nature of so much of the museum's history and collections (and of the less controllable perils of life at sea than his Boat Coffin), the model also reminded him of his grandfather's ship models and the hours he spent with him as a boy, learning to use a chisel, and learning the patience required for all great craftsmanship.
Today, he oversees an eight thousand square foot studio in Brooklyn with five full-time employees and several lucky interns. The range of his output is mind-boggling: a mantelpiece in carved Carrara marble with a tiny wooden figure and backstage setting within the fireplace opening; a Duck Fan featuring a taxidermy duck mounted in a diving position and facing an industrial fan, stealing a smile and reminding the viewer that ducks fly against the wind everyday; or a steel Wing Chaise Lounge inspired by folding butterfly knives-a technical feat of balance and counterbalance. Among so much else, there is also Errazuriz's signature Piano Shelf, a limited edition wallpiece in lengths of eight to twelve feet, made up of hundreds of hand-crafted sections of wood-like piano keys-each regulated individually with a tiny hidden screw so any number can be lowered to create surfaces of varying sizes, with the resulting rectangles of empty space framing whatever is placed on the shelf created. A recent piece is the Kaleidoscope Cabinet, drawn like much of Errazuriz's work from memories of his family, in this case an elderly aunt who always told him he could look but not touch. The walnut cabinet is lined with sections of mirrored glass that, when the doors are open, create a dazzling kaleidoscopic reflection of the objects inside; a peephole in one end and an interior light allow one to look inside even when the doors are closed and locked and to see, but not touch, those precious objects, infinitely multiplied.
"Humans are so much more complex than simple matters of aesthetics and practicality," Errazuriz says. "I am always seeking to create designs that reflect these complexities. At the same time, I try to create pieces that are atemporal, not of any time, in hopes that they will have future lifetimes…like antiques." A visit to Errazuriz's website (meetsebastian.com), or to the Cristina Grajales Gallery in New York, which represents him, offers the chance to see the many ways he is doing so.
New eyes on Peabody Essex: María Magdalena Campos-Pons and Neil Leonard
María Magdalena Campos-Pons
María Magdalena Campos-Pons will not be painted into a corner, framed, cast in brass, or otherwise confined. Her work is Protean and also provisional. She might appear to the accompaniment of Yoruba chants, carrying a birdcage on her head, her face powdered white, her dress an amalgam of cultures as she did in the Piazza San Marco during an electrifying moment at the Venice Biennale last spring, or she may disappear behind an installation of vertical spears each resting on an African stool and impaling disks of cast glass and palm sugar as in her installation at the Tufts Art Gallery in Boston this past fall. Perhaps she will reemerge elsewhere in a photograph or a video. Each of her constructions or performances is a question, an approximation, a moment in her long journey to account for her mixed Chinese, African, and Spanish heritage and to carry it forward from her native Cuba to Boston, where she is on the faculty at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. None is definitive.

Black and red lacquer, silk, steel, iron, mother-of-pearl inlay, and gold; height 9 ½, width 13 . inches.

- Traveling shrine with Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara (Guanyin), Chinese, seventeenth-nineteenth century. Woven and embroidered silk, metal-wrapped threads, and paper; height 11 ¼, width (closed) 7, depth 4 inches. An inscription in Chinese on the back suggests that the craftsman who made the shrine or the person who commissioned it was Chinese, though the decoration is reminiscent of that from China's neighboring regions in Southeast Asia.

- Neil Leonard and Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons in Yin Yu Tang, an eighteenth-century merchant's house from the southeastern Huizhou region of China. The family lived in the house until 1982; in 1997 it was dismantled, moved, and reconstructed in 2003 at PEM. Leland Marshall photograph.
"I see things hiding in places that other people don't see," Campos-Pons says. "I see the theater in things and the narrative that draws them together." Even the armorial porcelain plates lining the vitrines in the Bartlett Gallery at PEM suggest stories to her. "Circle, circle, circle," she says looking at them. "I love the sustained repetition but there are stories in them too. They are full of the people who touched them-the makers, the servers, the users." When Daisy Wang, curator of Chinese and East Asian Art at PEM, brought out a portable Buddhist shrine to the goddess Guanyin, Campos-Pons was enthralled by its intimacy. Her imagination prompted her to reach back to a time when this small reliquary, almost like a purse, had been the portable home for an entire tradition and set of beliefs. "It is sustenance," she says of the little shrine, "it contains the energy and power that kept someone who carried it going." Asked what keeps her going, Campos-Pons replies that curiosity, hunger, and a sense of duty all play a part in helping her do exactly what the shrine must have done for its original owner.
She and her husband, musician Neil Leonard, who is her frequent collaborator, were also drawn to Yin Yu Tang, the two-hundred-year-old Chinese house that PEM brought over and re-erected in 2003. For Campos-Pons the house links the Chinese and African parts of her heritage in a particularly appealing way. "People of African heritage were stripped of a sense of place, of dwellings, when they crossed the Atlantic as slaves. In a way, entering the house is a paradigm of my journey reconnecting elements of the past."
Campos-Pons finds the FreePort exhibitions at PEM compatible with her approach to her work. "What Trevor Smith is doing is looking at tradition with artists and allowing them to construct a way of engaging with it in the present." The challenge, she says, is to do this without making work that in any sense seems ethnographic. "We are here with antiquity. How do we look at it with a new eye," she asks knowing that her answers to that dilemma will be many and varied.
Neil Leonard
"What you can't say you can't whistle either," the Wittgensteinians say, laying down the limits of rational discourse. Somehow in his almost four decades as a musician and frequent collaborator with visual artists Neil Leonard has called the philosophers' axiom into question. Along with multimedia artists such as his wife María Magdalena Campos-Pons and Tony Oursler, he has made a specialty of expressing the seemingly inexpressible.
Leonard grew up in the Philadelphia area interested in both art and music and he came of age without making strict distinctions between the two. After attending the New England Conservatory of Music he settled on the definition of himself as a musician, a sax player to be specific, and is now a professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he heads the department of Electronic Production and Design. Computers, electronic music, film, traditional jazz, the spoken word all play their part in the work of a man who does not make hierarchical distinctions between disciplines, modes of expression, or most particularly past and present. No wonder that a formative influence on him was the multisensory, visionary jazz musician Sun Ra whose solar Arkestra of costumed musicians, dancers, singers, and intergalactic kookiness rattled the jazz scene in Philadelphia and New York during the 1960s and 1970s. "I thought he was normal," Leonard recalls.
In 1988 he met Campos-Pons, who was then an exchange student from Cuba. She asked him to do the music for her ten-minute film Rite of Initiation, something he was uniquely qualified to do having been to Cuba and having a longstanding passion for Cuban music. Thus began their personal and professional collaboration.
At the Venice Biennale last June Leonard composed the music for Campos-Pons's performance. Inside the pavilion he reworked the street cries of Cuban vendors into sound collages and added to them interviews with ordinary Cubans. Fifty-five monitors and eighteen speakers, some of them installed in the dozens of birdcages, by all accounts it was an extraordinary experience.
Hearing art, seeing music, this is second nature to Leonard, who seized on a seventeenth-century Japanese helmet at PEM that reminded him of a horn. He could almost hear the music it would make, just as he can envision the sound piece he and Campos-Pons might create based on their visit to the museum's Yin Yu Tang house. If you spend a little time with these two you can almost hear it too.

LJUBLJANA : A Slovenian adventurer specialising in extreme flights headed towards the North Pole on Monday in an ultra-light plane equipped to measure air pollution over a hot-spot for global warming.
The GreenLight WorldFlight-North Pole project is the first attempt to pilot a flyweight plane from Europe to North America via the North Pole and back.
"The Arctic is a very important indicator of weather changes and it is crucial to research those areas," Matevz Lenarcic told AFP ahead of the solo mission. The 15,600-kilometre (9,700-mile) scheme was initiated last year after Lenarcic, 54, succeeded in circling the world in the same aircraft, a Pipistrel Virus SW914, which weighs just 290 kilogrammes (640 pounds) unladen.
"The main problem this time will be weather, it can be very unstable in Europe at this time of the year," Lenarcic said.
Another worry will be extremely low temperatures in the Arctic and low air density, whose impacts on the tiny aircraft's engine are unclear.
Lenarcic plans to fly over the North Pole, arrive in Canada and then cross the Atlantic on the return flight to Europe, in hops ranging from 1,100 to 3,100 kilometres over three to four weeks.
His first stop will be in Denmark followed by Norway and then Canada.
Lenarcic, an accomplished aerial photographer, will take pictures and measure levels of black carbon and light absorbing particles over the Arctic at a height of 3,000-4,000 metres (9,800-13,000 feet), an altitude rarely explored by scientists.
These particles — mostly the product of burning coal and other fossil fuels — absorb light from the Sun and thus play a role in the complex equation of global warming.
The Arctic is one of the most sensitive regions for climate change and a generator of weather patterns for the northern hemisphere. Temperatures there are rising two or three times higher than the global average, causing a massive shrinkage in sea ice during summer.
The project is backed by Slovenian manufacturer Pipistrel, which makes extremely low-weight planes for endurance flying.

An Accurate Eye Detection Method Using Elliptical Separability Filter and Combined Features
Qiu Chen, Koji Kotani, Feifei Lee, Tadahiro Ohmi
Vol. 9 No. 8 pp. 65-72
This paper presents an accurate eye detection algorithm using elliptical separability filter and combined features of eyes. First, a histogram back-projection method is utilized to extract the rough face region, and then iris candidates are detected by using elliptical separability filter developed based on Fukui et al.'s separability filter. By calculating the similarities of pairs of iris candidates, we determine the pair of iris, which has the largest similarity among others. The similarity of a pair of iris candidates consists of the separability of the pair of iris candidates, the similarity between VQ histograms and normalized correlation coefficient between the region including the pair of iris candidates and eye template. Experimental results show the iris detection rate of the proposed algorithm of 95.2% for 516 images of 86 persons without spectacles in the AR database.

Dry shampoo is a powder substance that is used to absorb oil in the hair. It is mainly used especially when you're in a hurry or don't want to use traditional shampoo. If water is unavailable you can use dry shampoo. Some people used it between regular washings and when they want to restyle their hair. You can buy dry shampoo anywhere but it's a little expensive.
Here are some steps on how to make a dry shampoo at your home.
What will you need?
1. ½ cup of cornstarch
2. 3-5 drops of lavender essential oil. You can buy it at the supermarket, amazon.com or even in walmart5.com
3. ½ cup of baking soda
Are you ready to start? Here are the steps on how to make a dry shampoo.
1. Prepare the things that are needed such as the cornstarch, lavender essential oil, baking soda, spoon or scraper. Make sure that it's already prepared and the materials are also clean.
2. Mix the cornstarch, baking soda, and lavender essential oil. Make sure that there are no clumps. You can use scraper or spoon to break the crumbs. If you can see oil or liquid, you need to mix it thoroughly. Make sure only powder are in the container.
3. Put it in a spray container and be sure that the container has no leakage.
4. Shake the container for about 2 minutes. The longer, the better.
5. Your dry shampoo is now ready!
Just follow these five steps in making a dry shampoo. I know all of you are asking how to use dry shampoo? Well, here's the answer to your question:
How to use dry shampoo?
1. Section out your hair. Try to use hair bands to separate your hair from one another. This could help you to put the dry shampoo easier.
2. Apply dry shampoo near your roots first. Spray the shampoo from your root going down. Don't worry if you feel that your hair is a little chalky, just comb your hair after.
3. Let the shampoo sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Your dry shampoo needs to absorb the oil at your roots. Just wait for 5 to 10 minute. The longer you wait, the more beautiful. Just keep calm and watch movies while waiting for 10 minutes.
4. Use your fingertips to massage the shampoo into your hair. Massage your hair using your fingertips, it can help the oil to easily absorb. Massage your hair for about 10 to 15 minutes. Once you're done, you can proceed to the last step.
5. Brush your hair with the use of a comb to brush away the excess shampoo. Most of the time you can't control the way you spray the shampoo right? You applied too much of it and it can make your hair looks chalky. In this case, comb your hair using a stiff bristle brush to remove excess powder. Brush your hair until there's no excess powder.

London: Researchers from Japan suggest that it may be possible to grow male and female reproductive cells from the opposite gender in future - in other words, to create sperm from women and eggs from men.
Katsuhiko Hayashi of Kyoto University in Japan has published research in which skin cells from mice were used to create primordial germ cells or PGCs.
These cells, the common precursor of both male and female sex cells, were then developed into both sperm and eggs. Using these live-births were created via in vitro fertilisation.
Although the techniques involved are still in their infancy, the possibilities for reproductive medicine are startling.
Not only could the research of Hayashi and his senior professor Mitinori Saitou allow infertile women to have babies by creating eggs from their skin cells, but it might make it possible for sperm and eggs cells to be created from either males or females.
The research is published in the journal Scientific American.

Why should taxpayers have to bail out private banks causing economics crises and mayhem? Who's idea was it?
Why should private debts which were lost speculating be compensated by citizens? Given that million are now losing their jobs thanks to institutional fraud in the financial markets I think the public needs an answer!
And who gives the IMF any authority to demand that governments bail out banks? What charter gives them the right?
Big questions but as soon as you mention 'speculating' or 'charter' people's eyes glaze over. Economics uses language which confuses people and that's because financiers like to confuse people and so take their money.
To connect people and economics the Irish have came up with a brilliant idea. Take some of the world's best economic thinkers, with no axe to grind, and put them together with comedians in an economics festival.
The festival will run in Kilkenny city between the 11th and 14th of November and speakers will include the brilliant Peter Schiff whose books predicted the financial crisis with great accuracy. Another speaker will be the former US regulator William K. Black who during the US 'Savings and Loans Crisis' of the 80's investigated over 1, 000 bankers and financiers who were found guilty of fraud and many were jailed. Bill says the current problem with systemic fraud in the financial system is at least 40 times bigger than the 'Savings and Loans Crisis' We need more like him!
These heavy weight economic thinkers will be accompanied by smart comedians who have a reputation of throwing light on such subjects without depressing the audience.
The festival is called Kilkenomics and you can get more information here or go to www.Kilkenomics.com
Can we organise such a conference in Scotland? This is exactly what the people need so that we can stop the financial coup d'etat which has took over Ireland, Scotland, Greece, Britain, US and many more nations around the world. Send out the word - this is not recession it's enormous fraud and the governments are complicit..
People are losing jobs and their standard of living is collapsing, public services are being axed and debt levels are going through the roof all because the people are being led to believe they have to compensate the super-rich for losses they incurred in highly speculative bets.
It is time to take economics back from complicit politicians and what some call 'financial terrorists' and sort our nations out!
Here is an Irish economist, David McWilliams, who is involved in organising the Kilkenomics conference talking to to the great economic commentator Max Keiser: (go to 12.25)

1 Day Daemons: How to Paint Daemonettes - (speed painting)
If you have any questions / comments, please feel free to post on the forum thread for this tutorial.Hello again all, having just finished a large unit of daemonettes as a bit of an experiment I thought I'd write up a tutorial to let you know how I went about it, there'll be some more daemon articles coming soon, as I'm going to do a full army.
Firstly the models took me about 9-10hours to paint, from start to finish, I had already assembled them (slowly...seal lines, eurgh ). So roughly the time per model is about 30mins. The painting of these guys was about 70%airbrush+wash work, with some detailing on the armour, metallics in general, and finally the bases.
This daemon army is an experiment seeing how far I can push the quality of my work, whilst doing (by my standards at least) it all in a fairly short time frame, the final result is a high tabletop standard unit, but it's probably not enough to win any awards. However one step of highlights and a little bit of work on weathering or something could result in an extremely high standard, I set myself the restriction of painting the minis in a day, so the following step by step is as far as I got.
Generic Equipment Needed for this Tutorial:
Black Spray
White (or bright spray)
Primer - I use halfords grey
Vallejo Glaze Medium
The paints are down to you, I'll list the ones I used but it could be done with whatever scheme you wish.
Step 1: Halfords Grey Primer, all over: these stuff gives your minis a little more durability, and paint sticks to it really well! Once this is dry chaos black, ensuring to get every angle, this is necessary for the pre-highlighting we're about to do in step 2.
Step 2: From a 45 degree angle, and then from on top spray your minis with white, or any other bright spray (you can re-use the halfords grey), this will 'pre highlight', there's a few shots here, including one from below, your mini should look almost 100%white when viewed from the very top, and all but pitch black when viewed from below.
Step 3: (Airbrushed, Thinner + Vallejo Glaze Medium), Tallarn Flesh, Dwarf Flesh, Liche Purple (colour used throughout army), and Bestial brown, airbrushed on the 'flesh', mix was roughly 1:2:1/2:microdot
Step 4: (airbrushed, Thinner + Vallejo Glaze Medium) Liche Purple + Vallejo Glaze Medium + Thinner (Gin as normal) on the feet + crabby bits, fairly carefully, but no need for painstaking precision, the fact that the mix is thin, and that purple is everywhere on the model means it's forgiving if you make mistakes.
1:1:1 Ratio
Step 5 (airbrush, no glaze medium now): Add Dheneb stone to the mix from Step 3, spray this on the fleshy bits from above, again about a 45 degree angle
Step 6: (airbrush, no Glaze Medium) Add Skull white to previous mix, shoot it right from above the model, and a few choices areas where light would catch from above, I did thighs and calves.
Paint bases black + codex grey 3:1 (carefully airbrushed, paint delicate bits close to feet if needed)
Step 7: This is the magic step, using a mix involving citadel washes + your key colour + glaze medium wash the model all over, it'll homogenise the blending and smooth out rough bits,
Ogryn Flesh:Leviathan Purple:Gryphonne Sepia: Glaze Mediu + Liche purple (as the last is a 'proper' paint you'll need very little!).
Detailing, this is all down to the model you're doing, these are fairly sparsely decorated, armour, spiky bits, eyes.
Step 8:
Armour, undercoat black, this will ensure the silver has good coverage:
Step 9: Chainmail on the armour, let it dry then a mix of leviathan purple and liche purple was used all over
Step 10: Final details.
Hair: Dheneb Stone, Skull White, and a tiny dot of liche purple (notice a theme?) as a base-coat
Step 11: Hair Highlighted with the previous mix + skull white
Step 12: Bones painted bleached bone + Dheneb stone, eyes carefully 'dotted' with the same mix.
Step 13: Basing: Drybrushed codex grey, scorched grass used to detail.
Done! Final Product:
And under a daylight bulb (looking a bit evil...)
Any questions feel free to PM me, ask on our twitter etc.
Finally here's the slightly wordy theory behind painting schemes like this, ignore this if you like I'll endeavour to keep it fairly short!
A scheme like this has 3 main aspects which (try to) ensure its success:
1.) Start BRIGHT, there's no highlighting, just shading, so you want a bright base to then bring down, rather than the opposite, which is more common. This is why I used white in highlights, which I normally shy away from, as it tends to make things look 'pastel-y', the wash counters this, and the bright layers underneath ensure than the model isn't dull. Preshading (the black underneath) ensures that some realism remains.
2.) Transparency (provided by the glaze medium) ensures that the work put into preshading/previous layers isn't lost, also slightly transparent paints are very forgiving, you're not painting an absolute colour over the last layer, so a slip is less noticeable. There are two ways to remedy mistakes, one is to never make them, and the other is to assume that you will, and plan for it
3.) Pick a simple scheme and stick to it; in this case liche purple, with a dark basing scheme to make it stand out. Use one or two colours to really 'pop' out, this will both draw attention to the models, and pull it away from any mistakes you've made elsewhere, bonus! In this example the nearly white hair performs the job.
This technique is universally applicable, and works very well in a variety of manners, without the airbrush you can still do it using drybrushing between layers, the wash still performs its job of smoothing things up.

Is it too soon?
But then again, how many of us think of that. Those who are well educated probably have thought about it from day 1. But what happen to those young parents who lack of awareness in this kind of things, or worse those who 'claimed' that they don't have enough to save yet?
Cost of raising a kid nowadays is on increasing trend, let alone the education cost. When people got married and start having kids, are they prepared to bite the bullet when it comes to future planning? Have seen too many bad examples in my family (own and extended) when it comes to the children education and rights for a good life.
For a start, open a saving account. Many choices nowadays, you can opt for private finance body (numerous choices for investment planning). There will be limitations for low income parents to set aside certain amount for the premium. And that is why government set up bodies such as SSPN and ASNB to help low income Malaysian (especially Bumiputera) to start saving/investing for future needs. Many people know this but not many act to what they knew (I am talking about Malay in general). I have friends and family who already have 2-3 kids and none of the kids have any kind of saving or whatsoever. Its sad though...how much they prioritise on what they need today (fancy gadget, clothes..etc..) over their child's need for future and proper education. Its not like they don't know, just some of them have no discipline to start and dedicated to save their money.
I did a rough calculation, if you save RM50 for a child in a month from he/she is born, without fail and never once withdraw the money, by the end of 18th year, estimated total amount of saving would be ~RM16,000. That is as much as what PTPTN loan for Diploma level student. (Am not even considering an oversea degree here). So the bare minimum a parent should do is at least be prepared to provide some kind of fund for the kids education.
This is all assuming a well balanced family, with both parents present. What happened when one is absent (divorced,died,sick...etc). Is another parent prepared for these kind of situation? Worth pondering....you think?

I think..if you really wanna have kids and you dont yet, you too can start saving from now...at least the kid will have more when he/she reaches that age..

i think one shouldn't be too tied up for ur kids' education fund though... coz well, in the end what's the point if u work so hard yet u cant enjoy life with ur money? i mean, u can save but must love urself also... as in, buy urself decent clothes, facial treatment, nice foooooooooood etc...

Different ppl have different mentality and different priorities.
The thing that irks me is that some people did not prepare for their kids future, and when the time comes, they start to point fingers because they are not getting enough help (monetary wise).
If they did not want to take responsibility of the child's future (i.e education) why bother give birth in the first place? They could not expect someone to pick up their slack, rite? That is being unfair to the kid.
Bottom line..priorities :)

In this blog I have been asked to write about Business Trends for 2009, what is on the horizon and what it will mean to project managers. So, here's how I see the top 5 trends we will face in 2009…
1. Cut expenses. This isn't the traditional cry for lowering costs raised predictably by executives each year. It is more like a do it or we die languishing wail. The list of business that are going out-of-business grows each day, from the small business in your hometown to the big chain retailers such as Sharper Image, Footlocker and Zales (NY Times, April 15, 2008).
What will this mean to a Project Manger? Accurate budgets will be more crucial than ever. And, yet how do you plan a budget (or anything) when the entire world seems to have a foundation of shifting sand? How about remembering to "Commit to planning, not just the plan" as counseled in the Burning Questions Section http://projectconnections.com/pc/knowhow/premium/bq_subject_pages/planning.jsp#13
It will be more critical than ever to improve your project management skills to the point where they are a skill that is easily incorporated into every business process. This means that you must use these skills on a continuous basis each and everyday. Great PM's will use their skills as an on-going process of how they do their job and not as a one time event or an end in itself and this is how their teams will work, too.
2. Since you will be cutting expenses, you will therefore be asked to do more with less. This one goes without saying – if you cut a resource that doesn't necessarily mean that the need for those resources goes away. If you have waited in line at the post office lately, you might like to know that in addition to the holiday rush, some branches are not filling positions once they are vacated. Our local branch is now trying to do the same job with 3 people that was scoped to take 6 employees to do as recently as a year ago. Also, there are no new time saving innovations to help fill this gap. Many of us have also had the experience of watching a waitress serve 18 tables or yelling down an isle in a retail shop to see if there was anyone in the store who could ring up a purchase. All the while, the clerk was in the stock room trying to catch up since her fellow employee had been laid off in order to cut expenses and stay in business.
What will this mean to a Project Manger? Understanding your project choices in the planning phase and what they mean will be more crucial than ever. It might be time to brush up on the Project Alternative Tradeoff Table and many of the other resources offered on our PC site.
3. Look for new business paradigms: let them be green while creating new business ecosystems. Let me state the obvious – the business mongers and politicians have blown it. We have overused and out priced the resources on our planet to the point that some predict that we have precious few resources left. In addition, these are now overpriced for the average consumer in our current economy! The essence of a business ecosystem is that networks between companies need to be analyzed from a higher conceptual level, asking, "Is it sustainable?" This is in contrast to the viewpoint of only considering the individual organizations usually short term benefit as was defined in the "planned obsolesces" model. We are all too familiar with the case of the financial company that gave out many executive bonuses, paid for by our taxes, while their customers lost their homes through unethical loans.
A business ecosystem's scope is the positive sum of all relationships (symbiosis). Thus, it's never a good idea to kill off the host, even if you do get a bonus for it. If you can keep the running of the business in the green zone and help sustain or renew the planet, then you get bonus points through energy credits.
What will this mean to a Project Manger? The common definition of insanity is doing the same things yet expecting different results. Increasing and broadening your understanding of business models and applying these new skills in new ways to approach projects will give you an edge in flexibility and innovation to meet new demands. It will be crucial to stay current with the changing nature of work and how we get it all done. The answers will come by looking for new opportunities and improvements in both the operations and business structures of how we are conducting our business. Can we go to a 4/10 work week and cut expenses? Can we work from home and eliminate office expenses altogether? Can we hire contractors to help lower costs? To open your mind to new possibilities, try reading the Harvard Business Review article, Strategy as Ecology, by Marco Iansiti and Roy Levien http://harvardbusinessonline.hbsp.harvard.edu/b01/en/common/item_detail.jhtml?id=R0403E&referral=2342
For those of you who love the "Think Tank" approach for entertaining new ideas to open up your thinking, try logging on to Edge at: http://www.edge.org/
4. Create and expand strategic alliances through physical and virtual social networks that are flexible and mobile to meet the business needs. This creates new opportunities for those who are willing to help each other out and not just look at their own self interests. Our "new economy" will demand that if business is going to survive, it will need to build strategic alliances.
What will this mean to a Project Manger? Your people and networking skills will be more important than ever. It will be crucial to know how to identify strategic alliances and understand how to grow and nurture these relationships for mutual gain. To accomplish this, start using some of the tips suggested by Brian Irwin in his article: The Political Edge http://projectconnections.com/articles/birwin.html.
5. Professional growth will be critical in dealing successfully with this new business landscape. This changing environment will require a fresh understanding of what business is and how to deal with our teams, executives, customers, vendors, suppliers, etc.
What will this mean to a Project Manger? Professional, business and people skills that give you the ability to deal effectively in many diverse business environments and will be more important than ever. I would suggest taking an inventory of your professional skills. Here is a free copy to get you started. There are also many other good inventories on the web. http://trainingfortechies.com/pdf/technical_leadership_succession_planning_sheet.pdf )
This is my short list for 2009. We seem to be in for one exciting roller coaster ride with thrills, risks, and opportunities in abundance. Although I have used the word "business" through out this blog, these predictions apply to all work environments, including nonprofit, education and government work sites. I would love to hear what you are seeing in your work environment or what you predict as a business trend for 2009. And, please include what this might mean to you as a Project Manager and how you are planning to deal with it.
And, of course – Happy New Year and I hope you enjoy the journey!
Jump-start your project management know-how in demanding environments by following the suggestions in this guideline. As you're kicking off a new project, consider why you're starting it and what you'll do when it's obsolete. Managers of project managers may want to consider taking stock of the PM skills available across their department when planning projects for the new year.

Sunderland Stroller Alyson Dixon finished a respectable eighth - and third British woman - in the simplyhealth Great North Run.
The 38-year-old, racing just six weeks after her gutsy London World Championship marathon performance where she led the field for 90 minutes, had hoped to run a PB.
But, although she had been running well in training, there was still that little doubt in her mind that remnants of the marathon were still in her legs.
And so it proved, as she led her rivals, Gemma Steel and Lily Partridge at 5k (16.01), but at 10k (34.01) she was three seconds off the pace.
Back-to-form Steel then went through 15k in 50.46 compared to Dixon's (51.29) with Aldershot's Partridge, returning to competition after injury, timed at 50.52.
Clearly for Dixon the race was now starting to take its toll and it was Charnwood Harrier Steel who proved the best of the British in winning the race in 1.11.32.
Partridge took second in 1.12.10 and Dixon recorded 1.12.29 compared to her best of 70.38.
The race at the front saw the usual Kenyan domination with Mary Keitany clocking the fourth quickest women's time (65.59) in the event's 37-year history to take her third title. Vivian Cheruiyot was second in 67.44 and Caroline Kipkirui third 69.52.
The best of the locals after Dixon were headed by Birtley Harrier Tracy Millmore who finished 14th (1.18.46), South Shields Harrier Georgia Campbell was 17th (1.22.57), Alex Sneddon (Jarrow) took 18th (1.23.24), Wendy Chapman (W45) of Sunderland Strollers finished in 1.27.55 and Sunderland Harrier Alice Smith was 27th (1.28.13).
Sir Mo Farah will target next April's London Marathon following his successful defence of his Great North Run title.
He won his fourth GNR title in a row and matches the record set by the late Benson Masya during the 90s.
The 34-year-old overcame New Zealand's Jake Robertson (60.12) in a thrilling duel to win in one hour and six seconds. Feyisa Lilesa finished third in 61.32.
Farah said: "It was an amazing race. I think the lack of training since I finished the track a couple of weeks ago caught up with me.
"It was really tough. I was gritting my teeth and hanging on at times. Jake pushed the pace on and tried to get rid of me and almost did. I was hurting.
"What a year I've had! It's nice to finish it at home. I'd love to win the London Marathon one day and I'll certainly give it my best shot – but it's a big change moving from the track to the roads so we'll see.
"There are a lot of great guys out there and I'm only learning"
First North East man to finish was New Marske's Dominic Shaw in 16th (1.06.04).
Morpeth Harriers Over-45 super veteran Ian Hudspith, who has recently moved to Washington, finished 24th in 1.07.45.
Former Sunderland Harrier Jack Martin finished 49th (1.13.09).
First Sunderland Harrier to finish was Ian Ritchie in 64th (74.22) and others that beat the 1hr 40min benchmark were: Over-40 veteran Paul Blakey 85th (1.16.46), Michael Laws (1.18.38), Aidan Crowe (1.21.52), Darren Dood (1.21.57), Simon Park (1.30.09), Callum Greig (1.30.49), Alan Knebel (1.34.37) Anthony Erskine (1.36.52), Shaun Bagley (1.37.14), Adam King (1.38.12), Amy Callaghan (1.38.32), Colleen Compson (1.38.53) and David Bruce (1.39.51).
Sunderland Strollers had Over-50 Ritchie Gerry heading them in (1.24.34), Andrew Duke clocked (1.25.09), Mark Hinder (1.26.44), John Sayer (1.27.06), Michael Dixon (1.31.28), Colin Armour (Armour (1.32.24), Rob Ayre (1.32.47), Kevin O'Neil (1.36.16), Andrew Dobinson (1.37.04), Robert Morris (1.38.26), Gary Dunmore (1.38.42), Jennifer Gibbs (1.38.54) and Gareth Wills (1.39.45).
Houghton Harriers' best came from Lee Dover with 1.17.21, Shaun Kerry recorded (1.27.42), David Gribben (1.35.02) and Peter Ashman (1.36.32).
Three-time runner-up Simon Lawson won the men's wheelchair race and Manuela Schar broke the course record by over a minute in the women's wheelchair event.
In the Great North 5k on Saturday with 800 runners, Sunderland Harrier Jacqueline Etherington won the women's race in a personal best of 18.44 to beat North Shields athlete Carla Maley (18.54). Sunderland's Eve Quinn was fifth (19.53) and Vicky Haswell 11th (21.43).
Sunderland Stroller Mark Anderson was sixth (17.12) in the race.

Case study: How this healthcare provider improved EHR performance
Case Study: Unity Healthcare Removes EHR Application Roadblocks with Flash
For years, Unity Healthcare relied on EHRs and virtual desktop infrastructures (VDIs) to make it easier for clinicians to serve patients effectively. But when technology performance problems began to cause issues around patient data retrievals, the IT department needed to take immediate action.
In this case study, witness how Unity Healthcare improved their EHR application performance and storage management inefficiencies, and saw:
• 7:1 data reduction from their EHR app
• Major reduction of unacceptable wait times for patient records
• Streamlined storage administration that freed up valuable IT resources

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. - A former Maryland correctional officer on trial on charges he assaulted four guards while an inmate at the Franklin County Prison testified Wednesday that he barricaded himself in his cell and disobeyed orders in an attempt to get the attention of a supervising officer.
"When I was refused to see Sgt. (Karl) Crider, I put the mattresses up," defendant David Ardinger said, describing how he blocked the door to his cell last June 24, preventing prison officers from seeing inside.
Ardinger, 37, of 17611 Stone Valley Drive, Hagerstown, is charged with four counts of aggravated assault in the incident. He could face up to 40 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

The Syrian army and its allies have advanced in southeast Aleppo and a rebel official says insurgents face "death or surrender" in an ever smaller enclave, with large numbers of civilians under very fierce bombardment.
Russian and US officials are meeting in Geneva on Sunday for more talks on an elusive deal for civilians and fighters to leave the city, diplomats said, but the rebel official said the Aleppo insurgents had had no word yet on their progress.
The fall of all of Aleppo to President Bashar al-Assad would bring him the biggest victory yet after nearly six years of civil war, but he would still remain far from restoring government control over his country.
More than 200km away, Islamic State staged a surprise advance on the city of Palmyra over the weekend.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor, said the militants had recaptured the ancient city on Sunday after briefly retreating in the face of heavy Russian air strikes.
Heavy shelling and air raids pounded Aleppo's besieged rebel pocket from midnight on Saturday and throughout Sunday morning, a Reuters reporter in the city said, with explosions at a rate of more than one a minute. Gunfire was also heard.
"The result will certainly be a complete end of the district, in a tragic way," said the Turkish-based official from the Jabha Shamiya rebel group, which is present in Aleppo.
Thousands of refugees are still pouring from the areas of fighting. The Observatory said on Sunday that more than 120,000 civilians had left the eastern part of the city as the government advance closed in, but that tens of thousands remained.
Assad's forces are supported by Russian air power, Iran and Shi'ite militias from Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan. Together they have helped to turn the tide of conflict his way after he seemed to be on the back foot in mid-2015.
The mostly Sunni rebels include groups supported by the United States, Turkey and Gulf monarchies, but also some jihadist factions that receive no assistance from the West.
The army seized the al-Maadi district on Sunday morning before rebels were able to return and continue fighting there, said the Jabha Shamiya official.
A Syrian military source said the army and its allies had captured the al-Asila and Aaajam districts, southeast of Aleppo's ancient citadel, as well as the southern portion of the Karam al-Daadaa neighbourhood.
The Observatory also said the army had advanced in those areas.
Reuters reporters on a tour of Old City districts captured by the army saw how its historic covered market had been pounded, with ancient quarters reduced to a warren of defensive positions adorned with rebel slogans.
"Embrace death for Aleppo" was one.

Clinton has more military endorsements than TrumpTrump did not directly respond to Clinton's critique Thursday. Download the results of 2016 network security survey. Clinton described Trump's comment as "thinly or not-so-thinly veiled sexism towards my mom". "But it's part of the landscape we live in". Both candidates believe they have the upper hand, with Clinton contrasting her experience with Trump's unpredictability and the Republican arguing that Americans anxious about their safety will be left with more of the same if they elect ...

While you're exploring Saskatchewan this long weekend, you are urged to keep an eye out for little creatures who tend to move about less-travelled roads.
Especially the Burrowing Owl.
This endangered species has been spotted leaving their nests and have started to perch on lookouts.
Kaytlyn Burrows, Habitat Stewardship Coordinator at Nature Saskatchewan says there have been sightings in a few areas of the province.
"So we've had sightings as far north as Mefort and the North Battleford area," Burrows said. "And some in the southeast around Estevan. Some even around Regina. And then southwest Saskatchewan is a really sort of a hot spot for Burrowing Owls, and most other species-at-risk."
Burrows, says despite a dwindling number of the species, people are still finding the little owls.
"The summer time here in Saskatchewan is a critical time in their lifespan," Burrows said. "They breed here in Canada. Then they migrate down to southern Texas and Mexico for the winter."
Burrows says a couple of eagle-eyed photographers have managed to capture some images of the owls this season.
"One of them was taken by a volunteer for Nature Saskatchewan," Burrows said. "That was taken at a successful Burrowing Owl nest. And the other one was on one of our Operation Burrowing Owl participant's land."
"If you see a Burrowing Owl, please give us a call on our toll-free Hoot Line, at 1-800-667-HOOT (4668)," Burrows mentions. "You will be helping to monitor the population and aid with conservation efforts."
Personal information is never shared without permission.
Burrows says southwest Saskatchewan is a hot spot for Burrowing Owls, and most other species-at-risk as that is where Grassland National Park is located.

I'd like to share with you a revealing, deeply disturbing overview of the chaotic, violent situation on the Arizona-Mexico border that was written by a former editor and reporter for the Voice of America, which you can find on the website of The American Conservative.
Opening with the ruthless murder of Arizona rancher Rob Krentz, the act that catalyzed support for the passage of SB 1070, the author of the piece goes on to explain, with meticulous detail, just how and why the violence perpetrated by Mexican drug cartels and their paramilitary arms has seeped so far into American territory. Although I don't necessarily agree with all of his conclusions, especially the floating of a potential (partial) amnesty, the essay itself is an exemplary illustration of the type of journalism that border security issues should be met with, and which hopefully will be the norm in future reportage.
