You'll pry my books off my cold, dead body. By the time you shift them all I'll be flat and dessicated.
I have been increasingly appreciative of 20th-century art over the past several years so I thought the companion volume to the Guggenheim's recent and highly lauded exhibit would be a good opportunity to revisit Futurism and see if I found it more appealing.
In some senses, yes: there were a number of specific pieces that I liked, and I found some of the ideas interesting. Overall, it is still not a favorite school for me, which I'm okay with; it would be a tad uncomfortable to really like a bunch of conceited, pretentious loudmouths who were enthusiastically Fascist, warmongering, misogynist, and convinced of their genius and qualifications to govern society.
My high rating is for the book itself, not an indication of my extreme fondness for the style. Don't rush out and buy me a Boccioni for Christmas. (Actually, please do, but know that I'm probably going to resell it.) The reproductions are of excellent quality and variety, including more ephemeral materials that are less easy to find for online viewing. The analytic essays are intelligent and concise and neither vilify the artists nor shy away from addressing difficult issues.
Just as a final point of interest: this exhibition and the book were underwritten by LaVazza. A note from a spokesperson for the company states that they're trying to expand their American market and thought this would be a nice way to do so. I'm trying to imagine an American food producers considering ways to increase appeal abroad and deciding, "I know, we'll sponsor a modern art exhibit!"
But I'm always up for a coffee.

GULA KHANA, Iraq — As U.S. soldiers parachuted into Kurdish-held territory in northern Iraq on Wednesday, leaders here offered an amnesty deal to Muslim guerrillas that could help eliminate a threat to American troops in the region.
And, after weeks of stern warnings from U.S. officials, Turkey announced that it would hold back on an incursion into northern Iraq -- at least for now -- thus avoiding the possibility of clashes with Kurds in the region.
The developments came as U.S. cruise missiles again struck positions in northern Iraq held by Muslim guerrillas and as about 200 American troops already on the ground worked with about 7,000 Kurdish fighters preparing for battle.
The parachute jump of about 1,000 U.S. soldiers from the 173rd Airborne Brigade, based in Italy, occurred just before midnight local time and gave the Americans their first major presence in the north since the invasion began a week ago. The paratroopers jumped out of low-flying C-17 Globemaster transport planes at an airfield in Harir. Kurdish allies closed off roads around the airstrip during the operation.

B2ST's Junhyung says he's not having a hard time after his breakup with Hara
Posted: 13 May 2013 09:03 AM PDT
B2ST's Junhyung talked about his break-up with KARA's Hara.
On May 13, he attended the press conference for his upcoming drama, 'Monstar' at the 63 Convention Center in Yeouido. At the press conference, he was asked how he was doing after his break-up with Hara. He answered, "It didn't affect me filming for the drama in any way. I think you just do what you have to do. As was said in the press release, we just decided to stay friends. I recently saw her at 'Dream Concert', and we got along fine. I hope you don't think that I'm having a hard time."
The pair started dating publicly in June 2011, but broke up around 2 months ago. But even if their relationship didn't work out in the end, the pair still paved a big road for other idols who might want to go public with their relationship.

To celebrate the release of their physical album, the boys released 6 individual posters as well. The posters are from the same theme of "Come Back When You Hear This Song", with the boys staring forlornly out into the city as they stand on the roof of a building. They're decked out in suits again, and show just how classy men can get.
Junho, Jun.K, Taecyeon, and Chansung all participated in the album as songwriters, rap-writers, and composers. The album shows just how much they've grown not only as men, but also in their music. JYP Entertainment said, "The album that was released on the 13th have their mature images, like the title song. Please show a lot of love."
The boys will finally have their comeback comeback on 'M! Countdown' this week, so stay tuned!

After three years since their debut, TEEN TOP held their first solo concert in Korea!

'Infinity Challenge' touches on the serious topic of Korean freedom fighters
Posted: 13 May 2013 02:16 AM PDT
The most recent episode of 'Infinity Challenge' attempted to challenge (ha!) the weighty topic of the Korean independence movement.
After getting occupied by Japanese troops in the early 20th century, the Korean peninsula went through a period of colonization, spurring independence movements and figures such as Ahn Joong Geun, who assassinated Ito Hirobumi, the first prime minister of Japan. The cast member of 'Infinity Challenge' spent some time educating their guests for the day – a gaggle of idol groups such as SECRET, INFINITE, and others – on the importance behind the independence movement.
As the lecturer for the 'class', Yoo Jae Suk read out loud a letter from Ahn Joong Geun's mother, written to him after he had told her of his plans. "If you believe that dying earlier than your mother is wrong, I will become a laughingstock. Your death is not only for you, but for the entire nation of Chosun. Die for your country without second thoughts," she had written. "It is a consequence of doing the correct thing, so don't try and save your life; dying is the greatest form of fealty for your mother."
"This is probably the last letter I will write to you. I don't expect to see you again in this life, so come see me in the next world as the son of the Father," she wrote.
An excerpt from his will was also read aloud. "Even after I go to heaven, I will dedicate my efforts, as always, to the restoration of our country. When the sounds of Korea's independence rings in heaven, I will dance and cheer in joy."
For the idols in attendance – who often sacrifice schooling for practice and other activities – as well for the viewers watching at home and abroad, it was definitely a learning and enlightening experience.
Portions of the broadcast have already been subbed and can be viewed below:

YG Entertainment narrows down "Who's Next?" to 2 artists
Posted: 12 May 2013 10:18 PM PDT
Now, even more names are faded out leaving just 2NE1 and CL. Considering that it has been well over a year since the release of 2NE1′s last album, fans are more than eager to hear new music from their idols. It looks like regardless of who is actually next, Blackjacks will be happy campers.
YG Entertainment stated, "Starting from the 28th to the end of this year, a lot of YGE artists plan to make their comebacks. As 28th is the starting date, CEO Yang Hyun Suk and the agency artists and staff are preparing hard for it."
Will CL be releasing a lead single or mini-album as a prelude to a 2NE1 comeback? Will 2NE1 release a new album and then follow-up with Cl's solo promotions? Only Yang Hyun Suk knows the answer, but we'd love to know what you think will happen on May 28th.
2PM will get fans saying "TGIF" with their live concert '2PM Is Back with Genie' to be streamed on YouTube
Posted: 12 May 2013 09:54 PM PDT
2PM are definitely making up for the long wait by treating fans to their live-stream concert, '2PM Is Back with Genie'!
The one-hour long concert begins on Friday, the 17th at 9PM KST at the M-Stage in Gangnam. 2PM will be performing their double title tracks, "Come Back When You Hear This Song" and "All Day I Think About You" ("Ha.Ni.Bbun"), as well as their past hit songs and follow-up tracks from their new album.

International fans can also get their 'hands up' in their own homes as the concert will be streamed on YouTube.
JYP Entertainment stated, "2PM, who kicked off their successful comeback in two years, will create a concert through which fans will be able to feel their energy and passion. We hope that many people come out and have a fun time with 2PM."
2PM will also kick off their sexy comeback stages on 'M!Countdown' this week!
Junho suffers an extremely risky injury practicing for 2PM's concert
Posted: 12 May 2013 09:25 PM PDT
Junho revealed a shocking story on 2PM's comeback show, '2PM Returns'.
The comeback show aired on MBC on the 12th, showing the boys working hard for their comeback and their concert. During the process, Junho wanted to learn acrobatics, but he had injured himself badly while practicing! He confessed, "I wanted to learn acrobatics, so I worked really hard. There was a time I fell directly onto my head from 2 meters (approximately 6.6 feet) and lost consciousness for about 2 minutes."
His injury was severe, and he revealed, "Everyone was worried because they thought I might not be able to dance. I landed on my left arm, and the cartilage tore. Recently, we had the rehearsal for the Shanghai concert, but I couldn't stand. I went to the hospital and found out I had a spinal fracture."
But being the hardworking Junho, he didn't even consider dropping out from the concert – he stayed on the wheelchair only backstage, pushed himself onto his feet for the stage. He said, "I had a concert the next day. I had no choice, so I was on a wheelchair until right before the stage. I wrapped my waist and I could only stand as I sang."
When asked, "Have you thought about giving up dancing?", he answered, "If I give up dancing, I have to give up this career. I always thought about how not to get hurt and how to be good. But I always enjoyed myself, so I don't want to stop. Right now, I've healed a lot, but right now I still have to get therapy. To be honest, if I start doing intense moves, my shoulder can still be stressed."
Hopefully, Junho will have healed up for their upcoming comeback stages!

Kelsey had been upstairs in the bathroom by herself for quite awhile – probably fifteen minutes or so. It's not unusual for her to spend that much time in the bathroom, and I wouldn't have thought much about it if we'd been at home. But we were at her grandmother's house, and I decided she's been in there long enough.
Jeff was standing near the foot of the stairs, so I asked him to yell up to Kelsey and make sure she was OK. I stood up and followed behind him just to be sure. We both stood on the stairs as he called in to her:
"You OK in there, Kelsey?"
"I'm doin' good," came the muffled voice behind the door. "I'm combing my hair."
Satisfied that she was fine, I started back down the stairs… but then thought better of it, turned around and went back up to the bathroom.
I knocked on the door and told her I was coming in. She didn't say anything. I pushed the door open… and the first thing I noticed was the sickening quantity of honey-brown hair in piles on the floor. Then I looked up into her eyes, open wide with fear (that "Oh shit, I'm in trouble" look in them). And at the pair of hair-cutting scissors still in her right hand, still held up near her head.
I'm cutting my hair, she hsd said. Not combing. Cutting.
I don't remember yelling or screaming or anything of the sort, but I know that Terry was standing in the doorway behind me in a matter of seconds.
"It's just hair," I told myself as I picked Kelsey up and hugged her tight to my chest, stroking the ragged mop that remained on her beautiful head. Yes, it was just hair — but I cried as I tried not to think about what else could have happened to a four-year-old alone in a bathroom with a sharp pair of scissors.
(Pictures of her handiwork and the new 'do after the jump.)

ACCRINGTON'S stagnant nightlife is set to get a massive boost if a plan to build a £500,000 club gets the go-ahead.
The new nightspot is the brainchild of businessmen Mohammed Mukhtar and Thair Iqbal, who are hoping to convert the Almost Christmas shop on Church Street and the warehouse behind it.
They have bought the store, which sells festive decorations, for £200,000 and are hoping to revamp the interior once the current owner has moved out later this year.
The plans were announced amid fears that Accrington was losing night-time revellers to neighbouring towns.
The town currently has only one nightclub, Lar-de-dars on Eagle Street, since Opium was gutted in a blaze last December.
Ironically, its owner Mick Cookson has been called in to design the new club which will include several water features.
Mr Cookson said this week that he was still hopeful of re-opening Opium.
If planning permission is granted, the new club, provisionally named Industry, could be up and running by next April.
Mr Iqbal, 29, said: "I have worked as a doorman in Accrington town centre for 10 years now and the nightlife has deteriorated to the stage where I would call it a ghost town.
"People are always saying there is nowhere to go. We both live in Accrington and we would like to put something back into the town.
"We got the idea while we were on holiday in Spain. There are a lot of clubs out there where people have fun and we thought we would like to give the town a real boost."
Mr Mukhtar, 29, said: "There is nowhere around here that caters for a more adult audience of people from 20 upwards and we would like to provide something for them."

NEW YORK — Despite what seems like nonstop coverage of the war in Iraq, media outlets have so far lost less in advertising revenue than analysts expected.
In fact, there is evidence that some advertisers may even pump up future ad budgets despite the conflict.
According to national media analyst Jack Myers, television networks, newspapers and magazines would lose no more than $200 million in advertising revenues if the war lasts a month, and that figure could be as low as $100 million, he said.
"Business is returning to normal much more quickly than anyone anticipated," Myers said, adding that this is contingent on the war continuing at its current pace.
During the first few days of the attack, about 75% of advertisers put their spending on hold, but now the vast majority has come back, he said.

While we are waiting for the next organized play kit to show up at Trilogy Games, a few of us got together yesterday to play some 100-pt games just for fun. I know, I know, playing a game without prizes or tournament support?! What were we thinking...
I played a Mirror Universe fleet with two ships.
Beardy & Smiley Go For A Drive (100pts)
- Mirror Universe Galaxy Class w/ Riker & We Won't Go Back, Jennifer Sisko, Multi-Targeting Phaser Banks and Dorsal Weapons Array
- ISS Defiant w/ Miles O'Brien & Rebellion, Ezri Tigan, Elim Garak and Quantum Torpedoes
- Improved Shields
Alex was playing a TOS-era fleet with Sulu on a flag-shipped Excelsior, Terrell on The Reliant and a generic Constitution class. The second round saw some heavy firepower tossed among the ships and it was looking like it would be a quick game. By the fourth round however most of the ships had passed beyond useful weapons range, although there was the odd torpedo fired off.
Ezri picked up Sulu's Positron beam and the Excelsior took its time rounding the planet. Riker's ship lumbered around, narrowly missing some space debris. Limping along with a single remaining hull point, no way to repair shields and relying on the remaining two improved shield tokens, Riker put down the Constitution class ship only moments before Sulu threw his teacup at the Galaxy class. The impact ruptured the fragile hull and Riker was removed from existence.
The Defiant and the Reliant jousted again as they both turned around the planet and Terrell met with a fiery death. Smiley's Shield and Hull Repair Shop was in full operation while Sulu and Scotty argued over Romulan Ale rather than fixes the their own shields. Down to just the two of them, the Excelsior's four or five missed rounds of shield repair would prove the difference when a highly accurate volley of quantum torpedoes signed their death writ.
Thoughts on the Build
Overall I quite enjoyed playing this fleet. The ships definitely lack turning ability, although I did miss the fact that the Defiant had a come-about maneuver. That would have come in handy. Ezri did her job stealing something that could be used against me and Sisko made Sulu waste a few actions in the early rounds to clear a few of those disabled tokens off. Garak's captain boost also proved highly effective as I was moving last and shooting first for the entire game and my opponent had no way to mess with my crew.
O'Brien's ability proved useful later in the game, and the Defiant's ship ability saved me from critical damage twice, which I'm sure proved the difference. Riker having two target locks without being able to fire was largely a moot point as the primary threat was usually quite obvious. The dorsal array was a decent weapon to have, and really points out the fact that the Galaxy class really should have a 180 (or even a 360) arc. Why it doesn't have something better than it does makes little sense to me.
Playing some games just for fun without the tournament setting was great. It makes me want to dig into some of the scenarios included with the various ship expansions and reminds me how much fun the game can be when it's not all about the competitive list building that generally arises in tournament play.

UK bread and cereal bars found to be contaminated with glyphosate• naturalnews.com
UK news site The Ecologist featured a study performed by a British anti-GMO group called GM Freeze. Two major food brands contained traces of glyphosate. The research disclosed that all four cereal bars produced by Jordans and 34 out of 40 bread products sampled from Walburtons contained traces of glyhosate. These are both big name brands in the UK.
Those traces were below the EU maximum allowable glyphosate residue amounts for cereal products.

Multicultural Engineering Program
The University of Oklahoma Multicultural Engineering Program (MEP) has been an important component to the many successes of the University of Oklahoma.
The University of Oklahoma's Multicultural Engineering Program (MEP) was established in 1981. The program was designed to recruit and retain engineering students from diverse backgrounds in order to foster an atmosphere of inclusivity and community amongst students of different backgrounds, while also providing students a network of support for their college careers. Since its establishment, the program has been devoted to promoting the college of engineering's ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusivity.
"We're not academic or financial aid advisers and we're not counselors, but these are all topics that we touch on with our students. We make sure they have everything they need," said Director of the Diversity and Inclusion MEP Lisa Morales. "Our office offers a family away from their families, so we really know our students well. We meet many of them and their families prior to freshman year, and we're with them until they graduate."
The Multicultural Engineering Program has assisted engineering students in the pursuit of their undergraduate and graduate degrees. The MEP legacy is an important factor of the Gallogly College of Engineering's education effort in providing a distinguished engineering education to students from underrepresented groups.
"With the help of MEP, I started my engineering academic career with an on-campus family," Diversity and Inclusion MEP Teaching Assistant Ramiro Brigueda. "The sense of community that MEP has provided for me since day one is the reason I am still at OU pursuing an engineering degree."
Diversity and Inclusion students are proud to be a part of the long MEP legacy. Our current students are reconnecting with various MEP alumni through the Dean's Advisory Board on Diversity and other programs.

Orange Is The Old Black Too
1 comment:
While I agree that Kenan and Kel perpetuated many racial stereotypes, I believe that this show wasn't the only show to do so in a overt and obnoxious manner. Race, gender, sexuality and religion have always all been hot topics of comedy shows and while they might not always be the most tasteful, they're popular for a reason. These stereotypes give the shows a sense of humor and depending on how you interpret them, they can either succeed or fail miserably. Whether it's 30 Rock making fun of racist television https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-J-TyqAk4I or Saturday Night Live using race to exaggerate certain roles, all television shows incorporate race into the story line in one way other another. The only thing that differentiates tasteful shows from obnoxious ones depends on who the audience is and how they are interpreting it.ReplyDelete

Petrovich Mussorgsky (March 21, 1839 - March 28, 1881)
Petrovich Mussorgsky was
a Russian composer. He was a member of The Five, the group of composers
under the leadership of Mily Balakirev dedicated to producing a
distinctly Russian kind of music.
is best remembered today for his orchestral work St. John's Night
on the Bare Mountain, commonly known as Night
on Bald Mountain. This piece was popularized particularly by
its appearance in Disney's Fantasia and in the tower scene of the
Wizard of Oz.
Mussorgsky is also known for his cycle of piano pieces, Pictures
at an Exhibition, written in commemoration of his friend, the architect
Viktor Hartmann. Mussorgsky's opera, Boris Godunov is also well
known. Among his other works are a number of songs, including three
song cycles: The Nursery (1872), Sunless (1874) and Songs & Dances
of Death (1877). Sunless lends its title to the 1982 film Sans Soleil
by Chris Marker.
Petrovich Mussorgsky died on March 28, 1881 and was interred in
Tikhvin Cemetery at the Alexander Nevsky Monastery, in St. Petersburg,

The actual time spent by a flight between its last entry in the ASMA (Entry-time at 40 NM upstream - ) and the actual landing time () is denoted ASMA transit time ().
The unimpeded ASMA time is the ASMA transit time in non congested conditions at arrival airports. The unimpeded ASMA time is used in the calculation of the Arrival sequencing and metering area (ASMA) additional time.
This technical note describes the methodology used in order to calculate the unimpeded ASMA time.
The computation of the unimpeded ASMA time is based on the statistical analysis of flights in non congested conditions.
In order to determine whether a flight is unimpeded or not, its congestion level is computed as the number of other aircraft ahead in the arrival queue, i.e. the number of aircraft that landed between the time the flight under consideration crossed the ASMA border and its own landing.
The graphic here below illustrates the evolution of the ASMA transit time as a function of the congestion level. In this picture, the range between the first quartile (bottom bar of each rectangle), third quartile (top bar) and the median (medium line) is depicted for each level of congestion.
As shown in this figure, as soon as a certain level of congestion is reached (at the inflection point of the curve), the ASMA transit time increases linearly with the level of congestion (red line passing through the origin). Beyond that inflection point, the ASMA transit time is directly proportional to the number of aircraft ahead. At a low level of congestion (before the inflection point), the ASMA transit time tends to be constant (horizontal red line). This constant ASMA transit time is considered to be the unimpeded time required by any flight to approach and land on the runway from the ASMA border. The intersection between the two red lines corresponds to the saturation level.
The greater the level of congestion compared to the saturation level, the greater the likelihood of a flight's being delayed due to traffic ahead. Therefore, to ensure that a flight is unimpeded, its congestion level needs to be sufficiently small compared to the saturation level. However, it needs to be ensured that the flight sample is big enough to produce a robust estimate of unimpeded ASMA time. Considering a flight as unimpeded if its congestion level is smaller than 50% of the saturation level has proved to be a good compromise between this two conflicting facts.
Night flights may be subject to special procedures that are not representative of daytime operations. In addition, when the airport is subject of a curfew, the first flights in the morning might be delayed in order to land after the curfew end time. In order to avoid that both night flights and 'first post-curfew' flights bias the traffic sample, flights between 6:30 and 22:00 only are used for the calculation of unimpeded ASMA time.
A different unimpeded ASMA time is determined for each combination of:
Although unimpeded ASMA time is relatively static in time, regular checks are made to ensure that it remains representative of the operations for the airport under consideration. In case a change of unimpeded time is detected, the causes of that change (new procedure implementation, change of TMA design) are investigated. When required, new unimpeded times are calculated. However, because this method is based on statistical analysis of the actual ASMA transit time, a period of several months after the change is required before new robust unimpeded times can be established.
In this methodology, it is assumed that
The following input data are required in order to calculate the actual ASMA transit time:
|ASMA entry-point
|Date-time + bearing from airport reference point (long. & lat.)
|Actual trajectory from Correlated Position Report (CPR) provided by NM
|Aircraft type
|Aircraft ICAO designator
|Network Manager
|'Actual landing time' (ALDT) means the actual date and time when the aircraft has landed (touch down).
|Airport data
|Arrival runway designator
|ICAO designator of the runway used for landing (e.g. 10L).
|Airport data
Because aircraft have different approach performances, aircraft are classified, based on their ICAO designator, into:
In most of the cases helicopters do not interfere with other traffic. It was however experienced, in some cases, that helicoper traffic had to follow the published procedures and be sequenced with other aircraft. In order not to consider a flight that could be delayed by preceding helicopter traffic as unimpeded, helicopter movements are counted in the congestion index. Helicopter movements are however not counted in the computation of the throughput used for the saturation level.
For a given runway configuration, the ASMA transit time depends on the direction from which the ASMA cylinder is entered. For this reasons the ASMA cylinder is divided into ASMA sectors. The ASMA sectors are defined further to statistical clustering analysis of traffic distribution, as illustrated here below.
Unimpeded ASMA times are calculated in five steps:
The following checks are performed to test the validity of the results:
Coverage test The percentage of flights with valid data and for which it was possible to define an unimpeded reference time should be greater or equal to 90%.
Distribution of residual errors Additional ASMA times for unimpeded flights should have a distribution centered around zero and with a standard deviation smaller than 3 minutes.
Evolution of the additional ASMA time with the congestion level* In order to be able to consolidate in a single graph for a given airport with different triplet (arrival runway, aircraft class, ASMA sector) and different saturation levels, the data has to be normalised.
For this reason a is defined as
A value of 100 of the congestion index corresponds to a saturation level independent of arrival runway and ASMA Sector.
As a function of the congestion index, the additional ASMA times should:
Additional ASMA times for unimpeded flights should remain close to zero. A change in the unimpeded time might indicate a change in operational procedures or a re-design of the TMA during the reference period under consideration. In such a case, new unimpeded ASMA times will be calculated in order to consider the impact of these changes.
Every month the following checks are carried out for each airport:
If one of these conditions is not met, reasons for the changes are investigated and new unimpeded ASMA times are calculated if required.

A 2015 Medscape Compensation Report sheds light on physicians' earning potential. Here are some key findings from a survey of 20,000 physicians in 26 specialties:
- Orthopedists ($421,000) and cardiologists ($376,000) are still the top earners among physicians.
- Physicians in private practice earn significantly more ($329,000 for specialists) than do employed physicians ($258,000 for specialists), despite the trend toward employment.
- Male physicians earn more ($284,000) than their female counterparts ($215,000).
- North Dakota and Alaska ($330,000) are the top-paying states for physicians, while Rhode Island ($217,000) and Maryland ($237,000) are the lowest-paying.
- 9% of physicians have concierge or cash-only practices, the same percentage as last year, while ACO participation continues to grow.
However, it's not what you make that's important; it's what you keep. Click here to read a blog post about the Myth of the Rich Doctor that addresses the disconnect between income and wealth.

אגוז המלך – English Walnut – Juglins Regia
Printable Version
The Majestic Loner Tree
As reflected in its Hebrew name אגוז המלך – 'nut of the king,' the walnut tree is a king with its majestic trunk and firm towering branches, replete with perfectly round nuggets of treasured nutmeat. The Romans valued the tree immensely for its fruit as well as for providing furniture wood. The royal walnut tree is very much an 'individualist' that prefers to grow in isolation. It does not like to grow in clusters or near other fruit trees. The walnut tree produces a certain chemical that oozes out from its leaves and dissolves in rainwater. When the dissolved chemicals come in contact with the ground, they stop all types of undergrowth near the walnut tree, especially potatoes and tomatoes. Even the roots of the walnut tree produce chemicals that are toxic for certain plants, particularly for the apple tree. Perhaps this reflects the walnut's spiritual toxin as its states, "Negative spirits (מזיקין/mezikin) dwell on the branches of the walnut tree" (Sefer Chassidim 753). Perhaps, this is due to its separatist spirit, that doesn't allow other plants in its vicinity. According, to the Torah, impurity cleaves to desolate places, while the more people are gathered, the more holiness. Perhaps there is a correlation between walnut's spiritual toxin and the following halachic advice: "A person should not get used to eating walnuts as they lead to forgetfulness" (Kaf Hachaim פלא'י א). I was a bit disconcerted when I read this, as I enjoy nuts of all kinds with dates and 100% raw chocolate as a filling dessert that gives me energy to write for hours. It is also surprising to read that walnuts affect the memory negatively, since research shows that walnuts help develop over three dozen neurotransmitters in the brain. This correlates with the shape of the walnut, which looks exactly like the brain. Perhaps, walnuts could be both good for the brain and simultaneously bad for the memory depending on how and how much we consume them. We often see that the same Hebrew word can have opposite meanings, since from a circular perspective two extremes of the spectrum are adjacent. According to Arabic tradition, walnuts together with dates are good for physical strength and the prevention of heart disease. Still, in order to be on the safe side, now, when dementia is so common, I will try to curb my walnut consumption and eat more almonds, which Rambam enumerates as one of the three healthiest fruits (Hilchot Deot 4:11). I will not eliminate walnuts from my diet as the numerical value of the walnut אגוז/egoz –17 equals that of the Hebrew word טוב/tov – 'good.' Thus, there must be much goodness to be gleaned from the walnut.
Walnuts for the Head
The walnut exactly resembles the head. The outer green covering, represents the Pericranium, or outer skin of the skull. Therefore, those husks are exceeding good for wounds in the scalp. Tea from the green outer walnut husk is also useful for treating hair loss and baldness. The inner woody shell has the signature of the skull, and the little yellow skin or peel that covers the fruit, reflects the meninges and pia-mater, which are the thin membranes that envelope the brain. The fruit is a perfect image of the brain, and therefore it is very beneficial for the brain. If you crush the walnut fruits, mix them with wine, and place the paste upon the crown of the head, it comforts the brain and head greatly (William Cole, an exponent of the doctrine of signatures, year 1657, Adam in Eden). Indeed, the walnut resembles the brain with the left and right hemispheres of the cerebrum and the lower cerebellum. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are similar to those of the neo-cortex.
Israel is Compared to the Walnut
ספר שיר השירים פרק ו פסוק יא אֶל גִּנַּת אֱגוֹז יָרַדְתִּי לִרְאוֹת בְּאִבֵּי הַנָּחַל לִרְאוֹת הֲפָרְחָה הַגֶּפֶן הֵנֵצוּ הָרִמֹּנִים:
"I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished and the pomegranates had flowered" (Song of Songs 6:11).
The walnut has many redeeming qualities: its protein-filled fruit, valuable wood and protective shell. No wonder the Jewish people are compared to a walnut.
"Why are the Children of Israel compared to a walnut? The walnut looks like a woody shell, with its inside hidden, but when you crack it open, you find it filled with compartments of food. Likewise, the Children of Israel are modest and humble in their deeds and their learning is not recognized. They do not glorify themselves to declare their own praise. Nevertheless, when you investigate, you will find them filled with wisdom" (Rashi, Song of Songs 6:11).
The fruit-picking season can be exhausting for me, as a single picker of 30 fruit trees; for it is necessary to pick the fruits before they fall to the ground and become filled with ants. At the end of the summer, I can finally breathe in relief for having rescued most of the fruits, shared, consumed and conserved them in the freezer, fridge and pantry, whole or puréed, pickled, or dried; in fruit leather, jams and ice cream. When the walnuts ripen in the late fall, I can relax, because falling to the ground does not cause them damage.
"Just as a nut, although it falls in the mud, the inside will not become gross; likewise, although the Jewish people were exiled among the nations and beaten up incessantly, their deeds did not become gross" (ibid.).
The walnut is also a metaphor for the interconnectedness of the Jewish people:
"Why is Israel compared to a nut? Just as with walnuts, if you remove one from the pile, all of them roll down one after the other, likewise Israel, if one becomes defective, everyone is affected, as it states, "Shall one person sin and you will be angry at the entire congregation?" (Bamidbar 16:22); (Rabbeinu Bachaya, Vayikra 26:37).
Entering the Secret Walnut Garden
תלמוד בבלי מסכת חגיגה דף יד/ב תנו רבנן ארבעה נכנסו בפרדס ואלו הן בן עזאי ובן זומא אחר ורבי עקיבא אמר להם רבי עקיבא כשאתם מגיעין אצל אבני שיש טהור אל תאמרו מים מים משום שנאמר דובר שקרים לא יכון לנגד עיני בן עזאי הציץ ומת עליו הכתוב אומר יקר בעיני ה' המותה לחסידיו בן זומא הציץ ונפגע ועליו הכתוב אומר דבש מצאת אכול דייך פן תשבענו והקאתו אחר קיצץ בנטיעות רבי עקיבא יצא בשלום:
Four entered the Orchard (Pardes). They were Ben Azai, Ben Zoma, Acher [literally, 'the other,' referring to Elisha ben Abuya], and Rabbi Akiva. Rabbi Akiva warned them, "When you enter near the stone of pure marble, do not say 'water, water,' since [there is actually no water there at all, and] it is written, 'He who speaks falsehood will not be established before My eyes'" (Tehillim 101:7). Ben Azzai gazed and died. Regarding him it is written, "Precious in G-d's eyes is the death of His pious ones" (Tehillim 116:15). Ben Zoma gazed and was stricken [with insanity; he went out of his mind]. Regarding him it is written, "You have found honey, eat moderately lest you bloat yourself and vomit it" (Mishlei 25:16). Acher gazed and cut the plantings [i.e. he became a heretic]. Rabbi Akiva went out in peace (Babylonian Talmud, Gittin 14b).
Not only is the walnut a metaphor for the Jewish people, it moreover represents delving into the mystical depths of the Torah. Why is the Torah Scholar compared to a walnut? Like the four that went into the orchard, three went into the shell and only the fourth went into holiness (Rav Yitzchak Isaac Chaver, Beurei Agadot, Afikei Yam, on Babylonian Talmud, Moed 15b). One of my students, Amber, matched each of the three who went into the shells of the walnut based on their closeness to the truth of the inner fruit. Acher, who became a heretic, was furthest away from the truth as the meaning of his name, Acher – 'the other' similar to סִטְרָא אָחֳרָא/sitra achra – the other [impure] side. Therefore, he is considered as going into the outermost husk, which is furthest away from the fruit. Ben Zoma, who was blinded by the light of the truth and went crazy, is next furthest from the truth. Therefore, he is considered as going into the second outermost husk, as a person out of his mind is furthest away from the truth after the heretic, who is directly opposed to the truth. Ben Azzai saw the light and was so awestruck by it that his soul became absorbed within it. His body was not a vessel perfected enough to hold this immense light so he expired. Because his soul did perceive the truth, he is considered as going into the innermost thin husk that adheres to the nut itself. However, since he could not remain in this world he was not on the level of Rabbi Akiva who is compared to the actual fruit. To summarize, the four that went into the orchard correspond to the four parts of the nut as follows:
Acher gazed [at the outer soft husk of the walnut] and became a heretic.
Ben Zoma gazed [at the hard peel of the walnut] and went out of his mind.
Ben Azzai gazed [at the inner thin peel adhering to the nut] and died.
Only Rabbi Akiva went into the holiness of the nut and returned in peace.
Medicinal Properties of Walnut Leaves
Every part of the walnut tree has medicinal properties, including the outer husk and inner bark. The bark and leaves have alterative, laxative, astringent, anti-inflammatory and detergent properties. The leaves have a very strong, aromatic characteristic smell. For internal use, herbal products made from walnut leaves are always best, as they are not only more effective, but also do not have any side effects. You can make compresses and tea for internal use with walnut leaves.
Treat skin ailments: The leaves of the walnut tree have been used medicinally for thousands of years particularly for treating skin disorders. Infusions prepared from the walnut leaves can be applied externally for skin diseases like eczema, acne, herpes, scrofulous diseases or to heal wounds and scratches.
Expel toxins & parasitic worms: The leaves and the outer skin or 'pericap' of the fruit and the brown cover or 'testa' of the seed contains so much bitterness that no insects will touch walnut leaves. Thus, walnut leaves became unanimously known as a vermifuge. The husks and leaves, macerated in warm water impart an intense bitterness, which will destroy all worms. You can pour the liquid on lawns and grass walks without injuring the grass itself. During the 17th century, Nicholas Culpepper made a special paste combining walnut leaf extract, honey, onion and salt to draw out poison from deadly snake and spider bites.
Expel ringworm, microorganisms & bacteria: Walnut leaf has bactericidal action as well as insect repellent properties (Meyer-Buchtela, 1999; Roth, 1993). It possesses two anti-bacterial substances – walnut essential oil and juglone – that expel contagious micro-organisms and calm intestinal infections. In addition, the large concentration of vitamin C found in walnut leaves also enables them to tackle infectious diseases. The astringent tannins in walnut leaves cross-link with skin cells, enabling them to be resistant to allergies and diseases caused by micro-organisms.
Heal the Eyes: Walnut leaf tea is beneficial for eye irritations and conjunctivitis. It is also used in homeopathy to cure liver ailments and intestinal problems.
Laxative: During the 20th century, herbalists described the walnut leaf as one of the mildest and most effective laxatives available anywhere.
Stout, Massive Walnut Tree
Walnut trees can grow to become 60 feet tall – more than 20 meters! In some parts of France, walnut trees became 300 years old! In the southern parts of England, the trees grow vigorously and bear abundantly, when not injured by late frosts in the spring. Both male and female flowers appear on the tree in early spring before the leaves. A completely matured walnut tree can yield approximately 185 kg of nuts, but the average yield per tree is reported to be around 37 kg. My walnut tree hasn't yielded close to this amount yet, but 5-10 kg of worm-free walnuts is not nothing!
Hands On
The best time to pick walnut leaves is in the early summer, in the month of Sivan (June) when they provide the best effect. Walnut tea may be prepared by boiling walnut leaves in water. This tea is used in baths, bandages as well as skin washes and compresses to cleanse the skin and get rid of infections.
Drying Walnut Leaves
Dry the leaves outdoors during warm, sunny weather, in half-shade, as leaves dried in the shade retain their color better than those dried in the sun and do not become as brittle. Spread the leaves in a single layer, preferably not touching. Turn the leaves occasionally during the drying process. All dried leaves should be packed away at once, in airtight, wooden or tin boxes in a dry place, otherwise they re-absorb moisture from the air. (I dry all plants simply by hanging them upside down on my porch).
Walnut Leave Tea
4 tsp dried leaves
1 cup water
4 tsp dried leaves
1 cup water
1. Chop the walnut leaves.
2. Place them in a small pot and cover them with the water.
3. Simmer from 5-15 minutes depending on how strong you want the tea.
4. Drink 1 cup walnut tea a day in mouthful doses spread out throughout the day.
Bath Additive
Tannins found in walnut leaves cross-link with the proteins found in the cells coating the sweat glands. They prevent excessive sweat secretion, by cleansing the sweat pores and shrinking the sweat glands. Therefore, a footbath with walnut leaf tea is great for reducing perspiration. It also prevents and treats athlete's foot as the steam distilled volatile oil fraction has demonstrated antifungal action (Nahrstedt et al., 1981). Walnut leaf footbath may treat even serious fungal infections.

MORE than 50 real estate developers attended a government meeting Tuesday at which they were encouraged to apply for new licences ahead of an April 30 deadline.
Developers were confused by some points in the new regulation and on how to apply, but "now they are all clear and understand well", Mey Vann, director of the Department of Finance Industry at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, told the Post on Tuesday.
"We hope that they all will come to apply for a new licence," he said. "If they still do not come to ask for a new licence before the deadline ... they will be closed or penalised."
Property developers are required to re-licence under a December 2009 directive meant to protect customers that requires some companies to make security deposits on their developments into a government account.
Prakas 1222, which also regulates advertising of developments, was put in place after a number of companies absconded during the economic crisis, a time when the property sector was hit badly – it has yet to recover.
"We were not clear on some points in the new regulations, but now we're clear and understand," said Gunadi Wirawan, project director of Indonesia's Ciputra and YLP Group of Cambodia, which has a US$600 million development in Grand Phnom Penh International City.
"We will go to apply for a new licence before April 30," he added.

You often see him on his usual formal office attire, wearing a simple smile on his a bit serious face. But who really is Mr. Don Fajardo?
Look at this photo below. He was busy taking a picture of our son on top of the slide without even minding that he is still wearing his formal office wear. He didn't care if others are looking at him just to get a beautiful shot of his son on a slide.
Don can also look and act like a child sometimes. Having a yellow balloon on his hand while making a peace sign on the other. It just goes to show that even a totally focused banker can also look silly sometimes.
This is the best part. Have you seen him sing and dance? Well, with his moves and voice, you will realize that life is more colorful when you love music. Just see how the music makes Mr. Fajardo groove.
Those are some things to know the real Don Fajardo. I am sharing this to you, to see the other sides of him.
For Dominic and me, he is the best father in the galaxy. And we love him larger than life.
Happy 37th birthday Nanie!😘
Permission to post Nanie, I just want to let the whole world know how good the real Don Fajardo is. 😘
Update: May 14, 2018 10:00 p.m.
We had an early birthday salubong today because my co-organizer, Dominic, is already sleepy. And looking at our photos taken, I realized that there's still one thing that Don is good at, TAKING SELFIES. The absence of a selfie stick is not an issue to us as long as he is around, we can make selfies and even groupies anytime. 😊

Diagnostic Meta-Analysis pp 3-9 | Cite as
Introduction to Clinical Diagnosis
Clinical practice is based on decision-making, with choices stemming from a coherent yet pragmatic modeling process of the actual clinical scenario, and diagnosis a key preamble of any decision. Briefly, diagnosis is the process of identifying the actual cause(s) of a complex maze of pathological signs and symptoms from beginning to late consequences. Diagnosis is however an elusive concept in real-world medical practice, as physicians continue to face uncertainty with pragmatism. Accordingly, different diagnostic levels can be envisioned even for the simplest conditions, such as the common cold or anemia. More specifically, medical diagnosis in a living being requires almost always some approximation and reliance on a reference standard (improperly also called gold standard). Whenever a formal comparison is made between the index test being used and the expected or actual findings from the reference test, a study on the diagnostic accuracy of such index test is generated, relying on the comparative accuracy of the index versus reference test. Yet, in the current era of plural and connected medical practice and research, no single study can be considered final, in terms of perfect and enduring internal and external validity. Facing a plethora of similar studies on the diagnostic test accuracy of a medical test can be very challenging. The only acceptable and constructive approach to such challenge is to compile a qualitative and quantitative collection of such studies and to generate a comprehensive summary. This is exactly the goal of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of diagnostic test accuracy studies.

Close To Half Of CPF Investors Suffered Losses
>> Tuesday, May 29, 2012
According to reports, 45% of CPF members who made investments through the CPF Investment Scheme (CPFIS) suffered losses during the period from 1 Oct 2010 to 30 Sep 2011. I am wondering if this has taken into consideration the opportunity cost of the risk free rate the CPF would have enjoyed had it not been invested, i.e. is the returns higher than the 2.5% for CPF-OA funds, 4% for CPF-SA funds and the additional 1% on the first $60,000. My belief is that it has not accounted for this or else, the percentage of members with the new definition of losses will probably be closer to the upper quartile.
In a written reply to parliament, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said the investment performance could have been adversely influenced by the volatility and overall decline of equity markets during this period. The risks lie in the performance of the funds or investment instruments that they choose, or in the broader investment climate. The timing of CPF members' transactions can accentuate this risk.
To summarize, high returns is coupled with high risk and market performance measurement depends on the selected time frame. I believe 99% of the population who invests understands this fact (or at least I hope).
I hope that this is just the simple response and much more is being done behind the scenes to delve deeper to the underlying reasons that is the cause of this.
Part One, "The risks lie in the performance of the funds or investment instruments that they choose". If looked at closer, the choices are limited as they have already been pre-filtered by CPF appointed consultant. What if the filter is restricting choices to the funds that will underperform? Thanks but no thanks. Looking at how the funds are accessed, their criteria include having a proven track record. Aren't we often warned that past performance is not an indication of future performance? Seems to be quite contradictory as markets move in cycles and yesterday's winners usually become tomorrow's losers. So, if the responsibility is to be pushed to investor's choice, please ensure it is a 100% full range choice, not a pre-selected list of potential losers.
Part Two, "The timing of CPF members' transactions can accentuate this risk". I suppose this cannot be helped as no one has the crystal ball to time the market perfectly. However, an area of constant concern is the churning of CPF funds to "withdraw" as cash. During bad times, desperate people might resort to such means to tide them over that period. However, it is during these bad times that churning would hurt them the most when markets are tanking.
In my opinion, this issue can be easily resolved. Focus back on the fundamentals of the objective of CPF and CPFIS. If cost of advice/transaction is required, make it an additional premium to be paid for in cash, it should not be eroded from the CPF funds. CPF funds should be treated like a sacred cow and should not be used to pay for additional cost arising from the investment like cost of advice, transaction, maintenance. Sunk internal investment cost to the instrument itself like fund manager fees, trustee fees, etc, of course remains within the instrument and that is fine. It is the external additional cost that should not be paid for using CPF invested funds.
For the rest of the majority, myself included, do not invest. It is most likely due to using the funds for our residential property, so much of which that is said here does not even concern us. :)

This is something of a still life, but with people! Yesterday, our inscrutable Mayor Bloomberg was down at the World Trade Center, where a really fancy (and big!) motorcycle designed by Paul Teutul Jr. of American Chopper fame was unveiled as a tribute to the reconstruction of the World Trade Center. In January another bike, presumably similar and valued at $50,000, will be raffled off at $50 a ticket to benefit the museum. But also, this photo is kind of great. Composition-wise and such. (Click here for the full-size version.)
Here's a closer look:
That's not happiness to see me is it?
Also good: The New York Post has a shot of Bloomberg, actually on the bike. Whee!
