This page contains the information a candidate for Events Manager of the IAPS Executive Committee (EC) for the 2019/2020 term needs to know. Be sure to first read what any EC candidate needs to know.
Note: regarding the office description, it is important to know the tasks of EC members for a given year, considering what is defined in the Charter and Regulations, are proposed by the EC of the previous year. This proposal may be the object of changes during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) at which the EC members are elected by decision of AGM participants, either due to a specific proposal or as a result of Charter or Regulations changes.
The IAPS EC is proposing the following tasks for the Events Manager in the 2019/2020 term:
- Manage IAPS events (excursions, conferences, competitions, etc)
- Organise iaps2CERN
- Keep track of ICPS and PLANCKS (remaining from the previous year, current year and agreements with next year's OC)
- Promote the organisation of new IAPS events
- Develop a framework for synchronised events, with the goal of holding at least one
- Manage the Events Working Group (specifically: recruit an iaps2CERN main organiser, plus ideally 1-2 other members who can be assigned to support new events and/or handle communications with existing OCs
The tasks are, essentially, the same as in the current term, with a specific characterization of the Events Working Group added.
Useful Skills
- Proper communication, as you will be the main EC contact to event OCs
- Event planning abilities, including making budget and schedule projections, structuring action plans and distributing functions
- Team leadership, as you'll coordinate groups of volunteers, whether its the Events Working Group or an event's organising team
- Experience organising events involving visits to scientific or cultural institutions and different types of activities across several days
What to expect right after the AGM
- Your first official EC meeting, still during ICPS, including the outgoing EC
- Your handover meeting with the outgoing Events Manager
- Go through some available event reports, especially those from the current term, to have a reference for the term
What to expect throughout the year
- Receiving event proposals from members
- Communicating with and supporting the Organising Committees (OCs) of PLANCKS and ICPS of your own term
- Negotiating the agreements between the IAPS EC and the OCs of PLANCKS and ICPS of the following year
- Preparing and organising iaps2CERN
- Reaching out to members to promote and support the organisation of collaborative events between IAPS members or with other associations, like student organisations of other areas of study
- Delegating specific responsibilities to the members of the Events Working Group
Are you ready to run? Go back here and check how you announce your candidature.
Best wishes in – to put it in the words of Harvey Dent – making your own luck (in this case, we certainly don't mean using tricks to guarantee your election like a two heads-sided coin)!

Do-You-Think-He-Saw-Us is a quest that can be found in the Jurassic World Adventure World given by Gray Mitchell.
Start of Quest
"I saw something in the water...I thought they were turtles, but they might have been placodonts, or some other kind of marine reptiles... Whatever they were, they looked scared!
I think they were getting chased by a mosasaurus - that's the big lizard thing that lives in the water, and it's a carnivore! I know there might be bigger problems right now, but do you think you could maybe help save the turtles?" - Gray Mitchell upon approaching him.
End of the Quest
"Is that all of them? I can't believe they were almost mosasaurus chow! Thanks for rescuing them." - Gray Mitchell upon completing the quest.
Help save 3 turtles from being eaten by the Mosasaurus under the Mosasaurus Lake.

Marlow, UK 13th November 2012 – With the publication of its Analyst Insight on "The Virtues of Virtual Patching," research firm Aberdeen Group raises awareness on alternatives to endless cycle of Patch Tuesdays, emergency patches and workarounds, regression testing and unplanned downtime.
Aberdeen's findings show that while current use of patch management is foundational for success, taken by itself it does not differentiate top performance – in other words, success is not only a function of whether a company patches, but also a function of how.
Selected highlights from Aberdeen's research and analysis include:
Trend Micro's Deep Security is comprised of anti-malware, web reputation, firewall, intrusion prevention, integrity monitoring and log inspection technologies in one integrated solution. This server security platform uses virtual patching to protect physical, virtual, and cloud servers and virtual desktops from known vulnerabilities and zero-day exploits without expensive emergency patching. Deep Security leverages both agentless and agent-based protection mechanisms to automatically and efficiently secure virtual servers and desktops, and private and public clouds and accelerate ROI.
"Virtual patching can represent a strong operational and financial case for the business," said Derek Brink, vice president and research fellow for IT Security at Aberdeen Group. "Among several other advantages, it can give enterprises the flexibility to patch on their own schedule, and it can help to mitigate the high opportunity cost of unplanned downtime, which can easily range to tens of thousands of dollars per hour. Companies should give strong consideration to virtual patching as a strategy to augment their traditional patch management processes, and to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of managing the vulnerabilities and threats to their IT infrastructure."

One of the biggest challenges managers face is to conduct employee evaluations that inspire positive progress. Often, managers are afraid to offer needed criticism—or they are uncertain how to award raises without looking like they're playing favorites. But you shouldn't—and can't—fear the review! It's your chance to direct, correct, and motivate your employees to success so your organization can thrive.
Learn how to do just that from management HR expert Chris DeVany as he explains how to prepare for and conduct performance discussions that are objective, comprehensive, and productive. Most importantly, DeVany will train you to offer constructive criticism—that is, to point out areas needing improvement in a way that doesn't offend or discourage employees but will actually improve your working relationships.
After attending this audio event, you will have the tools you need to plan, manage, and conduct performance reviews that inspire employees to perform at the height of their abilities. You will understand how to motivate, not demoralize, employees. And you'll be equipped to attend your next performance review meeting as an active listener and well-informed coach and mentor—so your feedback makes a positive, lasting impact.

Alaska poised to let people use marijuana at certain stores
Alaska is poised to become the first state in the nation with statewide rules allowing people to use marijuana at certain stores where they buy it.
Rules governing the use of marijuana at authorized stores will take effect April 11. Marijuana advocacy groups say Alaska would be the first to finalize statewide rules for onsite consumption.
Alaska legalized recreational marijuana in 2014 and for years went back and forth on onsite use before the regulatory Marijuana Control Board approved rules in December. Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer on Tuesday signed and filed the regulations, the last step before they take effect.
Interested retail businesses will have to file an application, devise plans meeting security, ventilation and other standards, and gain board approval.

Mike Cottmeyer
Agile methods aren't just for software anymore. Actually, they haven't been just for software for quite a while now. That said, the types of companies, and the types of industries, that are exploring team-based, collaborative, iterative, and incremental approaches to do their work is rather breathtaking. Agile is truly going mainstream. The question at hand is can we apply team-based Agile straight out of the box in a non-software context? Can we take our scaled Agile approaches and apply them without modification? Mike's experience is that most of the principles and patterns apply, but sometimes the practices and frameworks need modification for a particular context.
Mike Cottmeyer, LeadingAgile founder and CEO, is passionate about solving the challenges associated with Agile in larger, more complex enterprises. To that end, his company is dedicated to providing large-scale Agile transformation services to help pragmatically, incrementally, and safely introduce Agile methods. He spends most of his time leading and growing LeadingAgile, doing sales and business development, and providing strategic coaching for clients.

Givenchy never fail to impress with their sleek bottles and feminine scents, and they've certainly done so again with this limited edition version of the classic Very Irrésistible. I can safely say this little number is looking fabulous on my dressing table – it was so irresistible that I had to have it! What's different you may ask? The bottle is the obvious, it's a collector's edition with ten roses cascading down the front to represent the ten years success of Very Irrésistible. (Yes, it made us feel old too!) As well as the ten roses on the bottle, it also has them within the fragrance, making it the ultimate feminine scent. They're all different roses too!
The original fragrance was made to reflect the remarkable friendship between Audrey Hepburn and Hubert de Givenchy.
In case you're curious, here are the notes included in this little beauty:
Bulgarian Centifolia Rose, Moroccan Damasc Rose Absolute, Turkish Damasc Rose Absolute, Moroccan Centifolia Rose Absolute, "Rose Anise" (Anise), "Rose Pivoine" (Peony), "Rose Fantasia" (Fuchsia), "Rose Emotion" (A kind of Pink Rose), "Rose Passion" (A kind of Red Rose) and "Rose Mochata" (Musky Rose Hip).
So yes, quite the bouquet of different roses!
This one is definitely my favourite within all the new fragrance launches from the range, and it betters the original Very Irrésistible in my opinion, as it's an eau de parfum that lasts on the skin even longer.
Givenchy Very Irrésistible 10 Year Collector Edition is available in one size only: a 50ml EDP Spray at £57.50
Be quick, limited edition means limited stock!

This Sunday, December 20th at 7 p.m. EST / 6 p.m. CST, His Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew will be interviewed on 60 Minutes about the Church and the difficulties it faces in Turkey. The short trailer surprised me and I hope it reflects the tone of the whole segment. I've never heard His Holiness speak so directly about the oppression the Church endures. Patriarch Bartholomew, aside from being a religious leader, is a well-versed politician. His politically sensitive words always seem chosen to keep him balanced between drawn knives. This interview is sure to raise someone's blood pressure.
While I'm at odds with the Patriarch's moves to control the American diaspora and his media-fueled elevation to the role of Orthodox "pope", I still respect him as an Orthodox Patriarch and can certainly understand where he's coming from on this issue. This is a fight for the very survival of the Christian faith in one of its oldest communities, and fighting these days is about media presence.
I hope this news story will do some small part to expose the true nature of the Turkish government even while it scrambles to put its best face on for the EU admission process. What I think is obvious is that the Turkish government and the country's rising Muslim fanaticism will finish off the Turkish Christian minority in the 21st century if something drastic is not done soon.
If you're thinking this is overreaction, how about a plot by Turkish naval personnel to kill a target list of approximately 939 non-muslims and to bomb homes and places of worship. Or the Syriac Orthodox priest ordered under threat of death by muslim extremists to tear down his church's bell tower as reparation for the Swiss minaret ban. I've got a limit here or I could give you a hundred more examples of threats, attacks, vandalism, and discrimination directed against Christians in Turkey.
So by all means, European Union, admit Turkey and see what you get.

OTTAWA—The Liberal government has selected Saskatchewan's top elections official to lead Elections Canada into the 2019 federal campaign, the Star has learned.
Multiple sources confirm that Michael Boda, the chief electoral officer of Saskatchewan, is the government's pick to succeed former Elections Canada CEO Marc Mayrand.
The Regina-born and raised Boda has served as Saskatchewan's top election official since 2012. He was originally scheduled to stay in that role until 2021.
When contacted by the Star on Wednesday, Boda declined to comment. Democratic Institutions Minister Karina Gould's office also refused to confirm Boda's selection.
"Elections Canada plays an integral role in administering our federal elections," wrote Nicky Cayer, a spokesperson for Gould's office, in an emailed statement.
"We are actively moving forward in the process to appoint a new chief electoral officer, and are consulting with opposition parties before a new CEO is nominated. We look forward to welcoming a new chief electoral officer soon."
Opposition sources said the Liberals recommended Boda in a letter Wednesday morning, a day after the Star contacted the government to confirm the nomination.
The position of Elections Canada CEO has been vacant since Mayrand stepped down in December 2016. Since then, however, a host of new challenges have arisen to face the agency as it prepares for a general election in 2019.
In 2017, Canada's electronic spy agency warned that it was likely outside groups would attempt to influence the outcome of the election. Earlier this year, a paper published by the Canadian Security Intelligence Agency warned Western governments are facing a torrent of disinformation and propaganda aimed at undermining the democratic process.
Gould has also signaled the Liberals are preparing new rules for third party advertising in the 2019 election, and the government is openly musing about regulations for social media companies that were used to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
"Because it's taken so long, the job has become harder for the new chief electoral officer when they finally get appointed," said NDP MP Nathan Cullen in an interview Wednesday.
"He's going to, in a very short time, devise protections for our vote that have never existed before, because the threats are new, they're complicated, they're insidious. We have spending reforms that he has to bring in, and what we've been told by Elections Canada in the past is that … the planning for an election is done a minimum of 18 months before."
"Voters may not realize this, but the running of a general election in Canada, with the size, the language and complexity, takes a huge effort."
Cullen and the NDP also took issue with the process leading to Boda's recommendation, suggesting the government did not meaningfully consult with opposition parties about the appointment of an officer of parliament.
Boda has worked on electoral issues for more than a decade, providing advice to countries including Jordan, Pakistan, Ghana, Scotland and the United States. He's also worked with the United Nations Development Programme and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Boda holds a doctorate of law from Oxford University, as well as a doctorate of political science from John Hopkins.

More than 5,000 lots were sold on Feb. 16 both old and new items during a fast-paced, we're here for business auctioneer team, led by White Star third-generation auctioneer Brent Wilber. Four auction rings were manned by quick-moving auctioneers and ring personnel, running full-throttle from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Wilber and auctioneer Randy Ludwick manned the Sportsman and Tool rings, while auctioneers Dennis Wilson, Heidi Brown and Burdette Wilber worked the other rings where an eclectic mix of hunting and fishing equipment, cabin and lodge furniture, Indian artifacts, wildlife photos and prints and much more.
Yeah, there's a lot of anticipation for this sale, Wilber said. This is the big one of the year. It was a nice day, about 40 degrees or more, and a lot of people just wanted to get out of the house.
There were buyers from five surrounding states, buying items that came from sellers from three states, Wilber added.
The auction pulled in an appreciable number of car-racing fans in particular Indianapolis 500 collectors after news got out that the parents of local racing legend Scott Brayton were selling some of the late race car-driver's racing gear and childhood memorabilia.
Brayton, from nearby Coldwater, competed in 14 Indianapolis 500s, beginning with the 1981 event. In 1996, the 37-year-old Brayton was killed in practice at Indianapolis after qualifying for the race's pole position.
He was always a 'favorite son' of this area, Wilber said.
Following his death, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway announced a new trophy for the Indianapolis 500, dedicated to the driver who best exemplified the attitude, spirit and competitive drive of Brayton.
One of Brayton's racing helmets, blue in color, and accompanied by a picture of the driver wearing the helmet, sold for $800. An earlier racing helmet, said to be worn by Brayton during his teenage years, sold for $380.
All prices quoted are as hammered by White Star. The firm charges a 10 percent buyer's premium.
An Indianapolis 500 racing suit worn by two-time winner Gordon Johncock (born in Hastings, Mich.), accompanied by a magazine publication of the driver photographed in the suit, sold for $900.
A wooden putter golf club, presented to Brayton from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, sold for $150. Several racing banners each sold for around the $160 mark, while racing photographs of Brayton ranged anywhere from $10 to $150 apiece.
A circa 1950s-1960s racing jacket worn by Scott's father, Lee Brayton, who also was a formidable race driver in the Coldwater area, sold for $210.
Around 125 firearms, including 36 hand guns, many of them new were offered. A Browning .308 semi-automatic rifle sold for $700; a Winchester Model 94 Trapper brought $650; a Winchester Model 97, $450; a Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle, $675; and a Ruger Mini 30 rifle sold for $700.
A Stoeger-Coach .410 double-barrel shotgun sold for $435, while a Browning Sweet 16 brought $700.
A tremendous amount of hand tools, sold for $10 to $20, while larger powered tools sold in the $100-$200 range. A metal lathe sold for $900, while a Honda Mini Bike from the 1970s brought $700.
It was a good sale, Wilber, who like his father, grew up in the auction business, said. We have a lot of room to do these type of big sales
quantity-wise, this is our biggest sale of the year. There's always a lot of anticipation for this one.
Wilber's grandfather Henry Wilber started working as an auctioneer in 1919. His father, Garth Wilbur, began working with his father after returning from World War II and starting White Star in 1948.
Garth Wilber, who died in 2016 at the age of 91, was elected to the Hall of Fame by both the Michigan Auctioneer's Association and the National Auctioneer's Association. The family-owned business is now in its fourth generation of auctioneers operating in Bronson the town from which it was founded in 1919.

Access to medical advice and monitoring is becoming easier as technology makes it possible for patients in Tennessee and across the world to communicate with doctors electronically. Telemedicine is already a billion-dollar industry, and investors are making profits from well-run companies. Unfortunately, one telemedicine company is facing mass torts action from shareholders who blame the actions of its executives for a marked decline in the value of the company's stock.
The lawsuit was prompted by an investigation that revealed the CFO of Teledoc Health was in a relationship with an administrative assistant at Teladoc. The assistant told investigators that she and the CFO discussed and traded Teladoc stock, and she made her decisions based on the CFO's advice. In addition to accusations of insider trading, the report alleges that the CFO granted his girlfriend promotions in the company, and shareholders object that these actions jeopardized the operations of the company.
Teledoc denies that any illegal actions occurred, saying the behavior violated company policy only and was dealt with internally. However, the sharp drop in stock value has shareholders seeking answers. The plaintiffs point to a nearly 7 percent decline in Teledoc stock prices this month, and they hold the CFO and his company responsible for their losses.
By using mass torts claims, multiple plaintiffs can seek satisfaction from a single defendant. When dealing with securities violations and other sensitive matters such as those in this case, it is wise for Tennessee plaintiffs to determine the most effective method of seeking damages. They may benefit from the assistance of an attorney with a history of successfully representing shareholders who suffer damages from insider trading and other securities violations.

The Swan, Electrical Co. report is divided into six separate parts, and indicates not only sonic of the changes that should be made but also covers economies that couid be effected by the elimination oC certain phases of the electrical setup as it now exists. It is indicated that the main swich board should be re-located, totally enclosed and provided \vith safety switches. On i.hc switch board for the stage and theater operation it is recommended that it should be brought up to date by replacement. Also thai stage lighting sections should be replaced as thye .ire defective.

That- means a double threat to the enemy first, by driving south, the ail-borne fighters could move in bchintl tho Siegfried defenses, turning them exactly as the Germans outflanked the Maginot line in 1940. Second, the paratroopers and giidcr borne doughboys could strike 30 miles east of. Arnhcim to t)5e German frontier. Although tight censorship cloaks the exact movement .of the air borne fighters, it's apparent that they are trying to Jiold iheii- LCV- ritory unlil the British second army can join them in its drive up from the south. Powerful reinforcements have been landed, and hard fighting is reported. One junction between the airborne troops and the BHtish already has been made farther south, and the -combined forces have captured the industrial city of Eindhoven, in southern Holland, Two towns four miles north and east, of Eindhoven also have been taken and patrols arc at a canal livo miles above the city.

Piaggio Avanti painted by contemporary artist on display
Source: Flight Global, Kate Sarsfield
A Piaggio P180 Avanti II has been transformed into a work of art by Italian artist Mimmo Paladino. The exhibit is dubbed Cacciatore di Stelle (Star Hunter) and it is the first time an aircraft has been painted by a contemporary artist. It is on display at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan until 28 April.
"The Avanti has been chosen because it can be considered a work of art itself, as an expression of Italian genius in design and engineering. That's why this creation is an unprecedented event," says Piaggio Aero chief executive Alberto Galassi.
The feature is part of a wider exhibition dedicated to Paladino artwork and is situated along a 500m (1,640ft) path, "which makes it the longest display dedicated to a contemporary artist", Piaggio says.

Topics for 07/17/2018
Romans 12:12 "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."
Sunday we discussed a three step process (based on the three phrases in the above verse) for handling life's difficult situations. Here are the takeaways:
- Take comfort in your options.
- A positive attitude goes a long way.
- True dead ends are fairly rare.
- Slow down and take stock of your situation.
- Occasionally you have to make an instant decision, but that is generally the exception.
- Often your "trial" is not as bad as it seemed…if it is, you still will be better served to understand more fully.
- Prayer is powerful.
- It moves the heart of God.
- It forces us to consider our problems in depth (meditation).
- It aligns our minds and emotions with God's Word.
Following are three scenarios. Think through one or more of these and write down your reponses--from initial reaction to (by God's grace, hopefully) your ultimate conclusion. Make it personal and specific to you.
- Your best friend at work pulls you aside and tells you he overheard a conversation between two execs. He says, "There is going to be a major round of layoffs...our whole department is going to get axed."
- You have been building a relationship with one of your neighbors for more than a year. You decide to take a chance and share the gospel. She rolls her eyes and says, "I was worried you might do this...I hated when my parents used to drag me to church." Now, every interaction is awkward, and you fear your friendship is ruined.
- You fall off a horse on the trailride your friend/sibling/spouse dragged you on. You significantly injure your back, and the rehab is going to be long and painful.

I was awarded a Sociology degree from Sheffield Hallam University (2005 -2008), an MRes from Loughborough University (2008-2009) and an ESRC funded PhD from Loughborough University supervised by Professor Elizabeth Stokoe (2010 -2014). My PhD was an ethnographic and conversation analytic study of service encounters within public bars.
Since then, I have developed my research interests in how policy and guidelines are enacted through social interaction. In my research, I use a range of qualitative methods to conduct ethnography of spoken and embodied conduct within health and social care settings, and previously in investigative police interviews and service encounters.
I joined SAPPHIRE in 2018 from the Health Management Group, Alliance Manchester Business School, where I was working with Professor Kieran Walshe and colleagues from The King's Fund examining the effects of the CQC's inspection and rating regime on provider performance.
In SAPPHIRE, I work with Dr Carolyn Tarrant on the Preserving Antibiotics through Safe Stewardship (PASS) project. PASS seeks to understand the factors influencing and improve antibiotic stewardship in the context of antimicrobial resistance.

Updated, 7:02 p.m. | Responding to a report in The Wall Street Journal that Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, New York City's health commissioner, is being considered for a possible appointment as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Housing Works, a leading organization for people with H.I.V. and AIDS, on Wednesday urged the Obama administration to pick someone else.
The organization's president and chief executive, Charles King, said in a statement:
Appointing Commissioner Frieden to the top post at the CDC would be a devastating blow to combating HIV/AIDS in the U.S. as well as other chronic illnesses that require complex public health solutions and involvement from local communities. Throughout his tenure as New York City Health Commissioner, Frieden has simultaneously employed an authoritarian, my-way-or-the-highway approach and an unabashed secretiveness undignified of a public servant. He has excluded AIDS groups wherever possible from having input into life-and-death AIDS funding, testing and care policymaking decisions.
The Health Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the Housing Works statement.
This is not the first time Housing Works has clashed with Dr. Frieden.
In February 2005, when Dr. Frieden announced the discovery of a possibly new and deadly H.I.V. strain, some scientists dismissed the news as isolated to one man and unworthy of alarm, other scientists said not enough research had been done to warrant a public health announcement, and activists worried Dr. Frieden's emphasize safe-sex practices would set up gay men as culprits.
Housing Works said in a statement:
Notwithstanding strong objections from New York City's extensive community-based AIDS services network, Frieden sought to persuade New York State legislators to make sweeping changes to the state's HIV-testing policies, including the elimination of written consent and pre- and post-test counseling. He also attempted to divert AIDS funding away from community-based AIDS organizations toward large hospitals and ignored the need for basic services, such as housing, that allow low-income people to remain medically adherent. Frieden's efforts proved his indifference to the profound stigma attached to AIDS and his ignorance of the critical role supportive services provided by community-based organizations play in the health of people living with the disease.
Frieden also sought sweeping access to medical records of people living with HIV/AIDS and diabetics with insufficient consideration to the damage that the revelation of personal health information could pose for individuals.
After reading the news release by Housing Works, Dr. Roy M. Gulick, chief of the division of infectious diseases at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, called The Times to defend Dr. Frieden. Dr. Gulick said in a phone interview:
I think Tom Frieden has done an enormous amount for H.I.V.-infected people in New York City. He's increased community services over the time he's been commissioner. He's emphasized prevention. He's promoted needle exchange and condom use. He's promoted testing so there are more New Yorkers aware of their status. I think the community and the city know that this is a guy who's made a big difference, through the Department of Health, for people living with H.I.V./AIDS.
One of the biggest controversies he has bumped into is the whole thing about routine testing. From Tom's point of view and his public health background, he certainly has the support of the medical community that there shouldn't be barriers to routine H.I.V. testing. We're talking about the difference between written, informed consent and a routine blood test. In all but 11 states, H.I.V. testing is routine, throughout most of the country. It remains a special case here in New York State. Tom took this on from a public health point of view, and said we should make testing easier.
Dr. Gulick, who is prominent in the field of clinical research in H.I.V. and has worked on the issue since the 1980s, said he understood advocates' concern about stigma but said that the benefits of widespread, readily available H.I.V. testing outweighed such concerns. "There are great studies that show if people are H.I.V.-infected, they don't pass the virus on to other people," he said. "Despite this huge controversy, I think time will tell that H.I.V. testing will be routine and that this will become another example in how New York City is a leader."

In one of my several alternate lives, I review music for HipHopSite.com (recently relaunched with a spiffy new look... peep it). Boxing and hip hop have a long history together, and it's always fun to catch boxing references in different songs.
It only took one review since the relaunch to find a fairly surprising one. In the chorus for the final track, "Pablo Doe," on DJ Green Lantern and Styles P's The Green Ghost Project, guest star Noreaga drops this line: "Hit hard like Arreola."
Is Victor Santiago Jr. a big fan of the sweet science, or did he simply write himself into a corner and need a word to rhyme with "pistola?" Is the Nightmare accomplished enough to have his name dropped in a fashion usually reserved for the Mike Tysons and Manny Pacquiaos of the world?
You make the call!

There is an extensive connection between hip hop and boxing, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
I imagine NORE is actually a big fight fan.

Gal Gadot 'moved' by reaction to Wonder Woman Oscar snub
- Bang Showbiz
- 25 January 2018
Gal Gadot says she was "very moved" by the reaction to 'Wonder Woman's being snubbed by the Academy Awards
Gal Gadot was "very moved" by the reaction to 'Wonder Woman's Oscar snub.
The superhero movie - which stars Gal in the leading role - failed to pick up a nomination for the forthcoming Academy Awards, which take place next month, and now Gal has spoken out about it, and says making the movie was not about reaping in lots of awards.
She told Entertainment Tonight: "I was very moved and touched by the people who were disappointed that 'Wonder Woman' wasn't nominated, but we certainly never did the movie for that. I think that you can't have it all. We've done this movie and it was received in such an amazing, wonderful way, and we want to stay humble and grateful, and we're going to have another movie, so who knows? Maybe the next one!"
Despite not receiving an Oscar nomination, the award season has been great for Gal and the film's director Patty Jenkins, with Gal recently picking up the #SeeHer Award at the Critics' Choice Awards earlier this month.
In her acceptance speech, she said: "I want to share this award with all the women and men who stand for what's right, standing for those who can't stand or speak for themselves. And I promise, my commitment to all of you is that I will never be silenced. And we will continue to band together to make strides uniting for equality ...
"The whole process of making this film inspired me and I hope it inspires others. When I started acting, there were very few female-led movies and even fewer female directors. This year, three of the top-grossing films were female led and one of them was directed by my wonderful Patty Jenkins. There were eight other films in [the] top 100 which were directed by females. So although this is progress, there's still a long way to go. It's not only our job to entertain, but our duty to inspire and educate for love and respect."

Buyer Spotlight: Pat Young
15 August 2019
In a real estate career spanning four decades, @properties agent Pat Young has literally sold thousands of homes – first for home builders in Chicago's suburbs and then for developers in the city. A few years ago, she shifted her practice to resales, but always maintained an interest in new construction. So when 1000M opened its sales center, Pat brought a client through for a showing. That client wound up buying a home in the building. Then another client bought. And then another. In fact, Pat's clients have purchased seven condominiums at 1000M to date. So it was no surprise when Pat herself jumped on the bandwagon earlier this year, buying her own International Collection studio at 1000M. We sat down with Pat to find out why 1000M has been such a hit with her and her clients.
The obvious question: what drew you to 1000M?
I love architecture, and in a city like Chicago, architecture matters. Helmut Jahn has a worldwide reputation for high design and integrity. This building will be iconic. Another big factor was Kara Mann's work on the interiors. Her designs are always on the leading edge, so it gives me confidence that 1000M's interiors will be in vogue for many years. And then there's the location, which is unique throughout the world. To be on the park with views of the lake…it's marvelous.
You bought a studio within the International Collection. Tell us about your future home.
I've been downsizing for years. I live in a studio now, and the nice thing about owning a small space is that you can have a very high-end lifestyle without spending a lot of money. You live efficiently, and it's very liberating. The International Collection is so well designed: good closet space, roomy baths and big windows. It's very bright.
But you won't be hosting Thanksgiving dinner?
That's the beauty of 1000M. The amenities create so many possibilities. I actually can host a large dinner in the private dining room. My grandkids can come over for a swim or a round of golf on the simulator. And of course there is so much to do in the immediate area – museums, Soldier Field, theater, etc. It all comes back to that high-end lifestyle.
Any other amenities you're excited about?
I think the whole entry experience is really spectacular. It's something people don't think about often enough, but the design of the first floor says a lot about how much you'll enjoy living in a high-rise. At 1000M, the entrance on Michigan Avenue, the lobby, the Porte Cochere, it all speaks to Helmet Jahn's understanding of how a condo building needs to function in order to offer residents a luxury experience.
You know this neighborhood pretty well. How have you seen it change over the years?
In the early 2000s, I managed the sales for three new condo towers across from Millennium Park – almost 1,000 units in all. Mayor Daley and a handful of developers had the vision to see the East Loop, Millennium Park and Grant Park as a residential neighborhood. Today, it's one of the most vibrant areas of the city. All of the culture is south of the River. I go to the Art Institute. I love walking along the lakefront and seeing concerts at Soldier Field. There are great restaurants. And the neighborhood is only getting better.

Simply Snake
Super fun shoot, there was 15 folks there, a Snake, a DJ and we had an alternative purpose that we were there for; however with the ingredients: a Snake, a bunch of hippies how could one resist. Create for the sake of creating. I wouldn't mind extending this and shoot more series of this. Sexy Snake 🙂 I jumped in with the snake at the end as well.

Unions that represent 60,000 hospitality workers in Las Vegas and Reno sued three Nevada casino properties Monday, claiming dangerous working conditions that fail to protect workers from the still accelerating coronavirus outbreak.
"The Culinary Workers Local 226 and Bartenders Union Local 165 filed the lawsuit on Monday against Harrah's Las Vegas, owned by Caesars Entertainment Corp, and the Bellagio and Signature Condominiums, both subsidiaries of MGM Resorts International," reports Reuters:
The lawsuit claims the companies have not sufficiently protected workers and their families from the spread of COVID-19, and that the current rules and procedures for responding to workers who contract COVID-19 have been inadequate.
Among other claims, the lawsuit alleges the companies failed to immediately inform employees about co-workers who tested positive, and only "encouraged" guests to wear face masks while in public areas until June 24, the day the Nevada governor ordered guests to wear them.
"We have offered free testing to all employees before they report to work and require it if they exhibit symptoms or have been exposed to someone who has tested positive and we have made available tests in other circumstances that do not dictate that a test is required," an MGM Resorts International spokesman said in a statement.
"We have worked to train our managers in our incident response protocols and we work very closely with the health department officials in their efforts to contact trace."

There are two Alain Gomises that show up in Felicite, the fourth feature length by the French-Senegalese auteur.
Scratch that. On second thought, Felicite is actually two separate films helmed by one person. Mr Gomis' hand held, documentary, gritty-with-a-touch-of-realism camera work is present throughout the film's extended running time. The first part has a linear enough narrative and plays out with some conviction. The titlular character, Felicite is a single mother struggling to get by in the tough streets of Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Felicite (Vero Tshanda Beya Mputu) ekes out a living as a bar singer, performing with a band, the Kasai All-stars at night and taking care of mundane domestic duties, like attempting to light up her second hand refrigerator during the day. She fends off advances from the neighborhood handyman, Tabu (Papi Mpaka) who spends his nights, drunk and in love, emboldened by the raw power of Felicite's music.
The scenes of Felicite performing are some of the film's strongest and Beya Mputu is a strong, almost visceral presence as she evokes as many primal emotions dancing and swinging her waist, as she does while passive and at rest. Gomis is on to something with her casting and she gives generously as much as her director demands of her.
Felicite receives news that her son has been involved in a motorbike accident and the first half of the film calls to mind the Dardenne brothers' Marion Cotillard vehicle, Two Days, One Night. In one instructive scene that reflects the strength and circumstances of countless African women, hours after receiving this tragic news, Felicite goes to work, singing and dancing like her life depends on it.
Beyond speaking to the maxim that the show must goes on, this singular act demonstrates the fierce resolve that women on the continent must live through. Their personal lives may be in shambles, relationships a mess, but they suck it all up, hold it in and get the job done. Because that is what they have to do.
In any case, Gomis isn't particularly interested in this predicament even though for a while, he makes viewers accompany Felicite as she struggles to raise the money that will help her son get better. She stands up to a debtor, soaks in insults from her mother and endures the humiliation of going back to the boy's father to ask for help. In the face of tragedy, Felicite is consumed with a righteous resolve and her pride shines through a near-violent and degrading experience with a local mob boss.
In the hands of a less capable actress, Felicite would have dissolved into a blubbering pool at this point, playing on emotions and tugging on heartstrings. But Ms Beya Mputu's steely gaze and passive aggressive control makes it quite clear that her Felicite isn't here for your pity. She knows what is at stake, recognizes the hand that life has dealt her, and immediately goes about seeking ways to balance the order.
Another director would (wisely) have followed this story till its logical conclusion- she saves the day, or comes in seconds too late. But Gomis is preoccupied with other matters that range from the realistic to the whimsical. He wraps up this story arc quickly. Felicite brings her son home and then the second part of the films, shot in a loose documentary style follows the heroine as she merely exists, dealing with her own feelings. She sinks into depression, loses her voice for a spell and considers the imperfect affections of Tabu. She also disappears into the woods at night to meditate by herself with only water bodies as companion, and there are segments devoted to the Kinshasa Symphonic Orchestra performing somber classic tunes. At this point nothing seems to make narrative sense and audiences are urged to task themselves mentally to at least keep up with Gomis.
His direction is unhurried and the pacing of the film is quite laborious. Gomis proves to be self-indulgent as his film proceeds to run around in circles, arriving nowhere and lacking any cohesion, diluting what could have been a solid outing. Felicite may win all the awards, but good luck finding anyone that actually warms up to the film.

Limnrix On Limerence
I Am Whatever You Say I Am, 2008
I did not know this word existed until two days ago.
This may or may not be your response to reading the extensive attempt to define this: I know that I have felt something like it, but my experience differs in various ways from Tennov's attributions to it. I think it's possible that people experience it in different ways, and this is the root of some things attributed to limerence. Like many psychological definitions, you try to self diagnose. Personally, I know that most meaning in my life comes from one or two limerent attachments I've had - primarily one that was, for a while, mutual. My tendency when discussing it is to not be able to articulate more than snarky soundbites.
Dorothy Tennov coined the term "limerence" to describe a kind of long-term infatuation her subjects were describing in her study of love. Limerence and love are not two different things - limerence is a kind of love. (Officially, it's the early stage of love, but I consider that limiting.) It's also a way of evading the dismissiveness of terms like "infatuation" or "crush", although the dismissiveness creeps in as a kind of attempted antidote to limerence's hightened affect. Limerence is both itself an emotion and an intensifier of emotion. It's produced a lot of good music, great literature, and probably not a lot of great art, although it is a decent motivator - or extreme demotivator. The reaction is not binary "elation or despair". Even a good interaction can induce the emotion that, like limerence, needed an English word, but which I have seen called "sangry".
Limerence attaches every intense emotion one feels, regardless of connection through anything but oneself, to the limerence object (LO, or, as I will put it in tribute to David Foster Wallace, subject). If you've resolved to cure your limerence, you will end up avoiding anything interesting or that you like.
One way of thinking about it: If you have love or affection toward a subject, you google it. If you are limerent, you avoid googling anything closely connected to the subject, because you are afraid you will run across them, and end up unable to think about anything else for weeks.
An objection I have to part of the definition is the part about how limerence can end with consummation or conclusive knowledge of reciprocation status. Even with confirmed reciprocation, terror that one's limerent subject would lose the limerence reignited the feeling. Once I'd stopped feeling that fear, the limerence was less urgent, turned into an entity supported by two bodies. Whether an asymmetrically limerent relationship should be terminated is a difference of opinion that can terminate any kind - according to Tennov, relationships with one limerent member are sustainable, though commonly maligned.
The "limerent-limerent" relationship is what I've called a "positive-feedback-based assemblage", but why most agree that that coupling (which I want to think can contain any number, including not just integers but imaginaries, etc. ) is itself inherently unsustainable is hard to define. Positive feedback exceeds the boundaries of its system within some amount of time. With limerence the result could be a "burned out" emotional sensorium. I can't tell whether being unable to become interested in anything without limerence is still limerence, or its fallout.
While it's said that different people are more inclined toward limerence or inducing limerence, I suspect it's more likely that people have different and incompatible ways of effectively de-limerencing. I'd like to hear from anyone who hasn't ever felt limerent. I remember sustaining something from 2000 onward, which was replaced in 2006 by definite limerence - I don't think any was involved in the long-term, healthy relationship I was in starting in the middle of that time. Possibly, I always require transformation - a new subject. Which is kind of a bitch, and something I may have immunized against now, but two years of starvation haven't been cutting it.
I have resolved that next time, instead of having most interaction, with a human, mediated by the internet, I'll aim to be limerent towards a nonhuman (non-animal, probably non-carbon-based) entity. I'm not going to assume it would be an AI, partially because the determination of intelligence and whether it's required for limerence are part of what's so fascinating about this particular weird-ass fantasy. Remember, this woman married the goddamn Berlin Wall.Possibly an element of what makes someone more limerent has to do with how much they question the communication system and what constitutes an autonomous entity capable of reciprocation. Example: I do not believe I can be objectively determined to be intelligent or autonomous. Second example: My subject may have been incapable of reciprocal feeling, only attached if returned feeling was ambiguous. There is nothing psychically sick about either of these attitudes - maybe not even with Mrs. Berliner-Mauer.
Here's a paper(pdf) that argues that limerence is problematic, different from love as seen from instances of persisting into later stages of a relationship. I haven't read the whole thing, but without a threshold in the form of an amount of time or interaction after which limerence shouldn't persist, all it really does is, well, piss me off, make me sad, various other limerence-enhanced emotions, based on feeling that my subject had set a short time after consummation it was appropriate for me to still act limerent, I had appeared to exceed it, and that I am therefore entirely responsible for my own pain, emo emo etc. Basically all this does is induce another source of fear and anxiety in the limerent, towards their own limerence and its inappropriateness. I would say that most defined psychological states, like most things, should ethically lack the presence of either "goodness" or "badness".
Another objection I have to the definition is that the limerent inflates the subject's good qualities. Part of the involuntarity of limerence is not that you think everything the subject does is great, but that everything they do is relevent to your interests. The subject is not superhuman, or uniquely qualified: they are simply what the limerent is About. In fact, the word I was using before I heard "limerence" wasn't "in-love-ness", it was "aboutness", and I felt it could apply to particularly dedicated biographers and specialists. Perceived flaws aren't transformed to virtues, they are considered more important than the flaws of other entities, and have a huge emotional impact on the limerent.
I don't know whether it seems immature and self-absorbed to be discussing what is too often stigmatized as immature absorption, but I'm sick of not talking about what I think about. What are your responses?

I read Tennov's "Love and Limerence" when I was 21 and prone to those kinds of feelings. I think I found out about the term limerence by looking up terms like "crush" and "infatuation" on wikipedia. You're literally the first person I've heard use the term since then. When I read the book, which featured a bunch of case studies from the 70's, I got the impression that Tennov's ideas were dated and never really caught on (although a Google search reveals that the topic appears to have grown in popularity since 2006).
As for the actual idea of limerence, I found the book's description of it to be accurate to my feelings at the time. I remember that it said that at the height of limerence, 100% of one's thoughts could be about someone. I also found accurate it's claim that 2 years away from the person is enough to kill the feeling.
I think I grew out of those feelings entirely. Perhaps after one has had one or two major infatuations, they learn to head subsequent ones off at the pass through more realistic expectations of people, constant reminders not to get carried away with imagining things, etc.
A meditative rejection of unwanted thoughts at their onset can be helpful (perhaps combined with the actual practice of meditation).

Hi Dan.
I'm still afraid that 2 years won't be enough for me because I'm still hoping that something will be enough. The frustration with being unable to control thought habits is part of the whole deal. While I instantly recognized many aspects of the definition, my infatuations have followed, not preceded, at least one rejection, so prophylaxis doesn't work in the conventional way. On top of that, I do have these contrarian tendencies to question what an "unwanted thought", or "realistic", etc. I also like the productiveness and curiosity limerence gave me, so I'm reluctant to shut significance off that way - so I'd definitely like to feel something like it again, just, you know, towards a robot or an institution or something, because humans are boring.
- Janet said...
What about it seemed dated besides the case studies? Is it simply that her research was mostly irrelevent to clinical psychology, more literary than anything else? I'm certainly interested in how changed technology has altered these experiences.
- Dan said...
It was mostly my assumption that her studies were dated. The book that I had checked out of the library was an old edition with a tacky, retro cover design and it had that "old book smell." It was the only copy in the library. It seemed like a relic of the past; this probably had a strong bearing on my assumption that limerence was dated.
Also, I felt that if limerence was a commonly known idea, I would have heard of it, or it would have been in the dictionary.
Additionally, as I mentioned, there was much less information about it on google at the time. You'll notice that a lot of the articles on the first few pages are dated around 2006 or later. When I searched it, it was probably just the wiki, the Time article from 1980, and The Observer article, and a few others. There definitely weren't YouTube videos on the topic; YouTube was far from ubiquitous at the time.
It's my theory that others began discovering the topic around the same time that I did, which began renewed interest in the topic.
As far as having trouble controlling thought patterns, have you considered rejection of thought completely? Just empty the mind of any thought as soon as it enters. A completely clear mind. It's more conducive to artistic productivity and other things than one would think.
- Janet said...
That I find meditating so hard is probably the clearest indicator that I need to make it a habit. When one takes yoga instead of gym in high school one starts to consider "meditation time" to mean "do homework at the last minute time".

I have resolved that next time, instead of having most interaction, with a human, mediated by the internet, I'll aim to be limerent towards a nonhuman (non-animal, probably non-carbon-based) entity.
I do not believe I can be objectively determined to be intelligent or autonomous.
I concluded from what I read that the keystone was uncertainty. It doesn't matter how objectively it can be determined, because it's about what you believe. If she can't be uncertain about how the Berlin Wall feels about her, then she can't be limerent about it. Obsession isn't enough to cause it or name it.
On top of that, I do have these contrarian tendencies to question what an "unwanted thought", or "realistic", etc.
Unwanted: Interrupting cows when you're trying to read.
Realistic: No talking cows. Unless you believe in talking cows. Basically, YOU believe that it fits in the laws of the world.
- Janet said...
Franklin - I think the whole point of Mrs. B-M is that she does claim her husband reciprocates, although he isn't necessarily limerent himself. They've been married so long that I doubt the limerence is still active.
I didn't find the uncertainty to be as important as the intrusive thinking, since I've never felt limerent toward anyone who hadn't given some indication that they were limerent first.
Your examples of "unwanted intrusive thoughts" don't even make fun nonsense. If you're limerent, you enjoy the intrusive thoughts so much that you can't really call them "unwanted". What part of you does the wanting or not wanting, that could possibly be separate from the limerent parts?
- Unknown said...
Franklin - I think the whole point of Mrs. B-M is that she does claim her husband reciprocates...
Well, if she's sure, then she wasn't limerent. This is how I understand it: There has to be the ability to reciprocate, and the possibility of rejection. Those are necessary, though not sufficient, conditions.
If you're limerent, you enjoy the intrusive thoughts so much that you can't really call them "unwanted". What part of you does the wanting or not wanting, that could possibly be separate from the limerent parts?
I think of it as unwanted thoughts => limerence. You might enjoy them, but that doesn't mean you want them. They might bring along pain. Or they might be distracting from your obligations. Either way, if you decide past a certain threshold that you would prefer that the thoughts would stop, then you've gone into "unwanted" territory.
