In absolute terms, even in relative terms, I'm not what you'd call a film buff. My knowledge of cinema contains huge gaps, and when I was a kid I actively disliked films. My mind would wander over the course of two hours, which seemed to an impatient child such a huge chunk of time to commit to anything, let alone watching something that might turn out not to be any good. When my mum or dad announced that they were going to the video shop (remember independent video rental shops?) to get something to watch that evening, it didn't excite me. Sometimes I kind of resented it. I had other interests. And so, having come to appreciate movies only in my later teens, and being British, I didn't have the pleasure of growing up with Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel to educate me about movies.
I wish I had. Ebert had a quality shared by all the best critics: he was fair. As great as his zingers could be, it would be a shame if he were remembered chiefly for his 'hated, hated, hated' review of North, his Your Movie Sucks book or his Vincent Gallo retort (after being called a 'fat pig' by Gallo, he responded 'I will one day be thin, but Vincent Gallo will always be the director of The Brown Bunny') because that was not his real character – his work is never anything less than reasonable in a field that hasn't often deserved to have had such an uncynical soul as its most famous critic. Indeed he reserved his real scorn only for movies he judged to be cynical in the way they tortured their characters. The artist in me says maybe he was too fastidious, but his line on this issue was consistent and humane, and while I'd defend a film-maker's right to make such a work as a Human Centipede – and a viewer's right to see it if they so wish – I'd not argue that humanity is enriched by such movies, and I'd struggle to judge them as art.
In the last few years, Ebert had been through a lot: thyroid cancer, salivary gland cancer, cancer of the jaw and the subsequent removal of part of his jawbone, a burst carotid artery, the loss of his ability to speak and eat, and several painful attempts to rebuild his jaw, which failed and left his appearance permanently altered.
The language of bravery, of heroism – language imported from the battlefield and often inappropriate and ill-informed – is too readily deployed when we speak of illness. Anyone who's faced serious illness knows that the two biggest factors involved in whether one lives or dies are luck and the skill of one's doctors. But most of all luck.
And so personally I don't believe it was courage that saved him. Or even, and I don't say this lightly, love. There are so many other variables; it only takes your surgeon having a slight off-day for some reason, and everything can be different. Nevertheless, Roger Ebert's reaction to his survival, his continued commitment to his work (and what a workload he gave himself!), his decision to go back on camera and show the world his changed face and his synthesised voice, all of that was brave. I wouldn't have had it in me to do that. He continued to engage with the world, which may not give you any more time, but sure as hell helps to make the time worthwhile, however much or little of it you have.
The sad thing is that he died when he was still making plans for his future. Just two days ago he announced the recurrence of cancer, this time in his hip, but reiterated that he intended to go on working and was just about to relaunch his website. You don't do that if you're expecting to die at any day. His death has, then, despite his frailty and his decision not to put himself through more surgery, come as something of a shock. You almost expected him to keep going for a good while yet, with the support of his wife Chaz and his always-evident love of film to help him on the bad days.
I have to admit, I find myself more and more saddened by death nowadays. It's a selfish reaction perhaps, but hearing or thinking about it does lead me back to the place I was in fifteen months ago when I learned my heart had failed. I don't know why my condition didn't kill me, as it does so many others. I don't know why my condition improved, instead of continuing to decline. It couldn't have declined much further; I do know that. I know I was lucky and had great doctors. I live a basically normal life now, and didn't need to find within myself the bravery of a Roger Ebert to face the world after surviving a serious illness. Cancer took so much away from him, yet he continued to give us all so much. He was a great writer and, for all his prominence, probably an under-rated critic; he was so good at telling you why he liked what he liked, a task that kicks my arse every time I sit down to write something for this blog but is sometimes not fully appreciated by those who haven't tried it. Above all else, though, when faced with continual physical suffering, he refused to let it make him bitter. If anything, his latter reviews became even more marked by open-heartedness and generosity of spirit.
It's been quoted a lot already, and will doubtless be quoted even more in the next few days, but let's give the last word to Roger:
"Kindness" covers all of my political beliefs. No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn't always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.
Roger Ebert, 1942-2013

N.B. I've removed the reference to the review of the Evil Dead remake that appeared on Ebert's website as it was actually written by Richard Roeper. My apologies for the mistake.

I had a few miles on Singapore Air which were about to expire in May so I looked at some possibilities to use it. Back in March, I read on the internet about Singapore Air using their newly delivered Boeing 787-10 (they are the launch customer) to Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur for familiarization flights. I thought it would be cool to check out their new plane so I immediately looked up for some reward availability on their website. Fortunately, they had availability on the same day I'd be in Bangkok. In the end, I was able to book Bangkok-Singapore-Kuala Lumpur on their new Boeing 787-10 in business class using 20K Singapore Air miles which I thought was a very great deal 😍

Singapore Airlines Silverkris Lounge, Bangkok
Arriving in Bangkok Airport from my Qatar Airways flight from Doha, I went straight to the THAI Royal Silk Lounge in the E Concourse and then transferred to the THAI Royal Orchid Lounge opposite which have nap rooms. I was able to sleep a bit, took a shower and around 8:20am, headed to the Singapore Air Silverkris Lounge. I've read on the internet that seats 11A and 11K are the best seats since they have an extra storage space in a form of a bassinet. Upon arriving in the lounge, I kindly asked the agents if 11A was available as it was blocked during on line check-in. They confirmed it was and immediately booked the seat for me although I was told I need to get the new boarding pass in the gate. Around 8:50am, I left the lounge for the departure gate.
Boarding, Gate D6
Aircraft, NEW Boeing 787-10
There were only 13 seats occupied on this flight so I was able to take pictures rather calmly 😉
Seat, 11A
As I boarded, I was greeted by a flight attendant who showed me to my seat. I commented how beautiful and new the aircraft was and she said it was only a month old 😍
Qatar Airways herring bone configuration 😉 Already waiting at my seat was a nice pillow and a blanket. The 3-point seatbelt system (shoulder harness) reminded me of the one THAI uses on their A380 business class seat which I personally don't like much.
As you can see, the right armrest is really narrow.

to Perth a few years ago.
There are two advantages seat 11A (and 11K) offers:
As for the rest of the seats in the cabin, you have a narrower foot cubby and the extra storage is missing so make sure you book these seats especially on longer flights.
Around 9:36am, the captain came on the PA to welcome us onboard and to give some flight information including our flight time of 1 hour and 55 minutes.
Inflight Safety Video
The service was a bit interesting as the crew actually started serving the passengers seating on the right aisle of the cabin which were seats 11F and 11K, all the way to row 20 then, from row 20 on the left aisle going up to row 11 (making me the last passenger to receive the meal). It could be that there were only few passengers so they decided to use only one trolley but still, it was a very slow process. Unfortunately, there was no menu card although the meal choices were seafood noodles or selection of dumplings and I chose the former. It was already 10:17am when I received my meal although it was worth the wait as it was phenomenal 😋 I also had green tea and apple juice for my drinks.
Landing at Singapore Changi Airport
Around 12:15pm, the captain was back on the PA to inform us that we'd be starting our descent soon with the current temperature of 32 degrees and an expected arrival time of 12:50pm. We landed around 12:49pm and reached our gate in Terminal 2 nine minutes later.
It was definitely cool to have flown on one of the newest business class seats out there and from Singapore Airlines, you could only expect the best. I loved the design of the cabin as well as the seats. The vanity mirror and seat/light control panels and nice blanket were additional plus. Unfortunately, I found the right armrest too narrow I wonder if it would really serve it's purpose. The meal service where I ended up being the last one to be served even if I was seated in 11A was a bit puzzling although the meal paid up for it 😉 Lastly, the crew were all very friendly as always. Overall, it was an enjoyable flight and something flyers to Osaka and Perth should look forward to. To all the crew on this flight, Terima Kasih 😍

INTAC Announces Its ASPPA Certification For Retirement Plan Service Provider Excellence
After a rigorous review process, Intac Actuarial Services (INTAC) is proud to announce its CEFEX certification of the prestigious Service Provider Excellence in Standards of Practice for
Retirement Plan Service Providers. CEFEX (Centre for Fiduciary Excellence) provides an
independent recognition of a firm's conformity to a defined Standard of Practice. It implies that a firm can demonstrate adherence to the industry's best practices, as set forth by American
Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries (ASPPA) and is positioned to earn the public's trust.
The ASPPA Standard of Practice describes how a third party administration (TPA)/actuarial firm can assist plan sponsors in fulfilling their fiduciary obligations. The Standard includes best practices for organization, human resources, operations, planning, systems and disclosure, as defined by a cross-industry task force and is modeled after the "Prudent Practices for
Investment Stewards" published by fi360, Inc. The stringent nearly one-year certification process, which involved a comprehensive assessment of the firm's operational data, practices and procedures, culminated in a full-day, on-site engagement of interviews with INTAC's key
employees by a CEFEX representative.
"The CEFEX certification provides assurance to fiduciaries and their stakeholders that INTAC has demonstrated adherence to the best practices in the recordkeeping and administration industry. The successful completion of the independent assessment is an extraordinary
indication of a firm's accountability to its clients," said CEFEX Managing Director Carol Panksep.
"It is with great pride that our team of outstanding pension professionals successfully fulfilled the rigorous requirements to achieve certification by the CEFEX organization. We are extremely honored to be the only New Jersey TPA/actuarial firm to achieve this prestigious designation," said Charles Rosenberg, INTAC managing partner and a member of EO New Jersey.
For additional information on the certification program and CEFEX, please go to www.cefex.org. A full copy of the Standard of Practice and INTAC's official certificate are also available on the website.
Intac Actuarial Services has been providing complete administration and consulting to
employer sponsored retirement plans since 1977. INTAC's professional staff of experienced and innovative plan administrators designs, creates, and continually refines a wide range of
qualified retirement plans. We are committed to meeting our clients' needs by providing these services in a timely, accurate and cost-effective manner.

A UAV that can fly for four days, at 65,000 feet?
Boeing's Phantom Eye claims to be able to fly four four days at 65,000 feet, thanks to liquid hydrogen fuel. (Photo by Boeing)
A futuristic fuel, liquid hydrogen, is key to the system.
"The essence of Phantom Eye is its propulsion system," said Darryl Davis, Boeing Phantom Works president. "After five years of technology development, we are now deploying rapid prototyping to bring together an unmanned aerial vehicle [UAV] with a breakthrough liquid-hydrogen propulsion system that will be ready to fly early next year."
So far, Phantom Eye just looks like some piles of aluminum in a workshop. But when complete, Boeing says the "Phantom Eye" will be an unmanned, high altitude long endurance (HALE) demonstrator aircraft–powered by cutting-edge liquid hydrogen–capable of flying for four days at up to 65,000 feet with a payload of 450 pounds.
Boeing also is developing a larger HALE that will stay aloft for more than 10 days and carry payloads of more than 2,000 pounds, and building "Phantom Ray," a fighter-sized UAV that will be a flying test bed for advanced technologies.
Phantom Eye's entire propulsion system–including the engine, turbo chargers and engine control system–successfully completed an 80-hour test in an altitude chamber on March 1, clearing the way for the propulsion system and UAV to be assembled.
The twin-engine Phantom Eye is designed to maintain a persistent presence in the stratosphere over a specific area, while performing missions that could include intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance and communication.
"We believe Phantom Eye and Phantom Ray represent two areas where the unmanned aerial vehicle market is heading, and rapid prototyping is the key to getting us there," said Dave Koopersmith, Advanced Boeing Military Aircraft vice president. "These innovative demonstrators reduce technology risks and set the stage for meeting both military and commercial customers' future needs."
Phantom Eye evolved from Boeing's earlier success with the piston-powered Condor that set several records for altitude and endurance in the late 1980s. Boeing, as the Phantom Eye system designer, is working closely with Ball Aerospace, Aurora Flight Sciences, Ford Motor Co. and MAHLE Powertrain to develop the demonstrator.
Phantom Ray evolved from the X-45C program. It is scheduled to make its first flight in December.

We have had a ridiculous drought lately, threatening my favorite Fourth of July tradition (luckily, our town did not end up canceling the fireworks!) and has subsequently turned the 'grass' to something more akin to hay. Today it rained and it rained hard... for the first time since summer began. I had almost forgotten the beauty of it all.
When I racked my brain to try to find something inspirational to say about the rain, I came up with something very mild and mediocre. Then once I searched the internet with some pictures to go along with my post I found this and immediately fell madly in love.
Of course I still found many other sayings and images that I love almost as much. Here are some that spoke to me.

Yosemite National Park, California - March 16th, 1997:
18. Wide shot of visitor centre.
19. Wide shot of rangers on horseback.
20. Waterfall at park.
One of the United States's most popular national parks has re-opened to visitors after severe flooding forced its closure for more than two months.
Yosemite National Park in California was swamped by record levels of water in which camp sites and roads were swept away.
Although the park is back in business, far fewer cars than before will be allowed to enter.
The sign says it all, and the message is clear.
After the worst flooding for decades descended on the Yosemite Valley, the park is recovering and able to receive visitors again.
On January 2nd, after two and a half days of heavy rain, rivers burst their banks and parts of the park were submerged under as much as seven feet of water.
900 visitors and 12-hundred park employees were cut off when all three highways into the valley were closed.
But today, little evidence of the flooding is visible.
The park's vistas provide the same sights which draw visitors from not just California and the U-S, but from all over the world.
The clearing-up operation is still underway.
Picturesque camping places and picnic sites have been turned into waste grounds with tables and debris swept up against trees.
Ruined cars rest where the waters subsided, canvas tents were upturned and smashed.
Many people lost all they had as damage estimates ran into (m) millions of U-S dollars.
But it may not all be bad news.
Fans of the park say the flooding has achieved in a flash what twenty years of lobbying failed to do.
The Federal government has taken advantage of the floods to impose restrictions on the number of cars allowed into the park.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"In the summertime we are extremely busy in here. The visitation is enormous and unfortunately the roadways and the parking is not up to the amount of visitation that comes here and so one of the general management plans is to limit access of motor vehicles because the valley becomes gridlocked.
SUPERCAPTION: Keith Fober, Park Ranger
Rangers say while visitors are enjoying the views, they are also unwittingly damaging the park.
By limiting the amount of motor traffic they hope to save Yosemite from being trampled to death.
"The ground has actually been hardened by the foot traffic, the vehicle traffic, the camping traffic. There's a lot of wear and tear around the repairing zones, around the water where the river banks are just being eroded by usage there where all the wood is collected and burned in fireplaces because there are just so many people here. We have air pollution problems, you know inversions where the smoke is held down and we have smog probably comparable to some of the worst in some of the big cities such as L.A. on a bad day."
SUPER CAPTION: Keith Fober, Park Ranger
This is Groveland.
An historic town in what was once gold-rush country.
It's described as a gateway community to Yosemite National Park, with a thriving, park- dependent business of hotels, restaurants and shops.
Peggy Mosley runs the Groveland Hotel and is optimistic the town will benefit from the car quota.
"We presently as a community are working on developing a transit system that will provide a shuttle service for our guests into the park and back out again. This could have a very positive effect for us because by doing so we would be bring people back into our community, perhaps for overnights, for services, for restaurants and so on."
SUPER CAPTION: Peggy Mosley, Town Spokesperson
Half of the 900 campsites in Yosemite were lost to the floods.
Electrical supply systems shut down, hillsides slid onto roads and power poles were toppled.
Sewer lines broke, contaminating the water supply. Some sections of roads were completely washed away.
But the authorities see it as a blessing in disguise, a golden opportunity to preserve Yosemite for future generations, and make it a more pleasant place to visit.

Blinded by the Light (2019) is a coming-of-age drama which is told through the music of Bruce Springsteen. Directed by Gurinder Chadha (Bend It Like Beckham), this film stars first-time actor Viviek Kalra with support from Hayley Atwell and Rob Bryden. Set in the 1980s, Javed Khan (Kalra) is struggling to accept living in Luton as a Muslim, with his family constantly having to deal with discrimination and racism. As an aspiring writer, he discovers the music of Springsteen and starts to learn to accept himself and reach for his dreams.
|Blinded by the Light (2019) - source: New Line Cinema
Between this film and another music-based film released this month, Yesterday, I love that film companies are having asian and non-white leads from unknown actors step up. This makes the story feel more genuine and important, especially in a film like this. The Muslim aspects of the film take a forefront, which grounds the setting of the 80s here. I love how strong the message was, and what Chadha had to say throughout about beliefs, family and struggling in that place and time.
You would not believe that Viviek Kalra is a first-time actor here, because he is very confident in his role. He does a great job selling his character, but I also found him to be well written. We have a character here that is rounded but also very flawed. I could see a lot of myself in Javed, as someone that is also studying English and wants to be a journalist. As someone that is also heavily influenced by media, whether it be music or films, I can see how he becomes so obsessed about one thing so quickly.
The music sequences here are fantastic and work not just as musical numbers, but driving the narrative forward. Whilst a stylistic choice that may not work for everyone, I liked how the lyrics from the songs came up at certain points. It hits the point that the driving force behind choosing these songs were to do with the lyrics in that situation, not just because they are hit songs from one artist. There are some musical moments, but they work for that particular situation. It gives me Sing Street vibes, which is perhaps the best thing I can say about a film.
|Blinded by the Light (2019) - source: New Line Cinema
I loved every single side character and how they were written. Javed's family had so many layers, and I loved watching it unfold. I particularly liked the relationship between Javed and his mum, especially near the end of the film. Javed's friends, Malik and Eliza, are also very well written and fleshed out. They also have flaws but are such fun characters. The interaction between all of the characters helped create a fresh story for the film, and every character felt genuine to real life.
There is a moment near the end of the film which is shocking and disturbing to watch, and I could not believe that the movie went this far to show the implications of Muslims living in England in the 1980s. It was an incredibly strong scene and amazingly acted and shot. It was a shock, particularly because of how light and cheery the rest of the film is in comparison. It helped deliver such a strong message and it was well placed and I am glad that Chadha put that particular scene in.
When the film starts, it does take a while to get into the film. The stereotypes are very clear, almost reaching the point of silly at the start of the film. It is slow to begin and takes a while to start liking the characters and accepting the situation that they are placed in. However, this slow beginning and stereotypes are important to accept the rest of the story and to see the full implications of everyone's actions. After about 20 minutes, you will be sucked into the rest of the film.
|Blinded by the Light (2019) - source: New Line Cinema
This film is a genuine surprise, and is as of right now in my top three of the year so far. It has charm, heart but also a strong and powerful message which I did not expect to see. I love the way that Springsteen's music was used to enhance the message and story, and I cannot wait for this film to officially release so I can check it out again and again. Please go and support this film in August.
Did you get a chance to check out Blinded by the Light? If not, are you excited to see this film? Let me know down below and let's have a conversation.

Walk - Roundham Head
Walk information provided with help from Natural England. Map reproduced by permission of Ordnance Survey on behalf of HMSO. © Crown copyright and database right 2020. Ordnance Survey Licence number 100022021.
Route Description
- From the Eastern Esplanade by the Paignton Club, turn left at the roundabout to walk up Roundham Road, past the harbour.
The area between Roundham and the harbour was once marshland, and there was a causeway running across it linking the sailors' Torbay Inn with the town itself (see the Paignton & Preston Seafront Walk). The marshes were not drained until the middle of the eighteenth century. There was a quay here in the sixteenth century, used for unloading stone for building work. Today's harbour was built following the 1837 Paignton Quay and Harbour Act, and it was used for landing fish, coal, timber and stone, as well as exporting the cabbages which were still grown in the centre of the town at the time. The other local export was Paignton cider. One of the directors of the Paignton Harbour Company was local farmer and cider-maker, Nicholas Prout Hunt, and when the harbour was being built it was estimated that the town might export up to 40,000 hogsheads (about 2.2 million gallons) of cider each year.
For many centuries fishing was Paignton's main livelihood, and a sixteenth-century survey listed 17 'cellars and fish houses', many of which were in 'Rowneham'. (A fish house is thought to have been larger than a cellar). The Harbour Light Restaurant was formerly a fish cellar and net store, and it is thought to have been the 'Great Cellar' mentioned in the 1567 survey. There was a terrace of fishermen's cottages beside it, but these were demolished in 1880 to make way for the Paignton Club (see the Paignton & Preston Seafront Walk). The small whitewashed building now housing the public toilets was the coastguard station, where customs men kept a watch for smugglers.
Beyond the harbour, the little crescent of sandy beach is known as Fairy Cove. The red sand and shingle shoreline is bordered by rocks, with interesting rockpools at low tide. The local bedrock is part of the Torbay Breccia Formation, which was formed from layers of sand and gravel in the Permian period, almost 300 million years ago. These were laid down in a hot desert, and their red colouring comes from iron oxide, which forms when there are no living organisms to use the oxygen. Flash flooding swept chunks of limestone through the desert, and angular fragments of these were embedded in the sandstone when it was compressed into the rock layers. If you look at the cliffs around the headland you will see the layers in the rock, and the fragments or 'clasts' of limestone in them.
- Take the second road on the left (Cliff Road), signed 'To the Cliff Path'. At the next junction turn left, walking slightly uphill and following the right-hand bend to where the Cliff Path heads away around the parkland to the left.
- Turn left onto the Cliff Path to join the South West Coast Path and follow it around the headland. Stay on the top path to avoid steps, coming out on Alta Vista Road; but otherwise carry on along the Coast Path as it descends towards Goodrington Sands. Turn right to double back on yourself just after the top of the steps to the beach, bearing left beyond to walk to Alta Vista Road.
At the foot of the headland's northern shoreline, the rocks are known as the Paignton Ledges. In February 1804, HMS Venerable stranded and bilged here on her way from Torbay to blockade Brest in the French Revolutionary War. The 74-gun sailing vessel was constructed in Perry's Yard in Blackall in 1784, and it took about 4000 mature oak trees to build her, at a cost of £3800. Of the 555 men aboard, only three were lost.
The Channel Fleet played a critical part in defending Britain from invasion, and in the past it often used Torbay as a sheltered anchorage (see the Hope Cove, Bolt Tail & Bolberry Down Walk).
A few years earlier, in 1762, another sail-powered warship was lost off Roundham Head. In February 1762, a 144-ton wooden sloop-of-war, HMS Savage, was driven ashore in an easterly gale. This stretch of water is known as Savage Hole in her honour.
A very different kind of vessel whose remains are also said to lie on the seabed off Roundham Head is the 1911 German torpedo destroyer, the T189, built of steel with a steam engine. At the end of the First World War, she and her fellow sub S24 were being towed from Cherbourg to Teignmouth, to be scrapped, when she became stranded on the rocks near the headland.
Known as Rock Walk, this path was constructed in the 1920s, along with the Promenade, by Welsh miners brought here on a work creation scheme when the British economy was struggling with the economic effects of the First World War, shortly before the Great Depression.
- On Alta Vista Road turn right, carrying straight on ahead at Roundham Road to return to the Paignton Club at the start of the walk.

One Mile East of Allerton
I always wanted to paint this barn, and I'm finally getting around to it. This is a historic, round barn in Wayne County, Iowa. There are not many round barns left and they are interesting characters! Working from a photo, I enhanced all the weathered boards and roof in my usual bold, saturated pigments of ultramarine, mahogany-red, textured grays and accents of yellow and green. I particularly liked the double-zee barn doors and small windows. The image size is a bit larger than I planned originally, and I feel the square format enhances the artwork.
My goal was to finish a series of these barn collages for the upcoming art festival this weekend. All I have left to do is assemble the frames I mitred yesterday and cut the glass; I have already cut the mats.

Lack of sleep turns us into 'social lepers'
A lack of sleep can turn you into a grumpy 'social leper' who shuns human contact, a study suggests.
Sleep-deprivation activates brain areas that make you find other people threatening, a study found.
It also dampens down brain regions that promote being sociable.
Sleep-deprived people not only feel worse, but induce feelings of loneliness in other people looking at them.
But just getting one good night's sleep made people in the experiment feel outgoing and confident again.
A study by the University of California, Berkeley, enrolled 18 healthy adults to a sleep laboratory and prevented them getting any sleep on one night.
Psychological tests showed that the sleep deprived wanted to avoid close human contact.
When asked how they felt afterwards, participants rated themselves 'as feeling significantly more lonely'. Not only did the volunteers feel more unsociable, they made other people looking at them feel more lonely and 'socially unattractive'.
Study author Matthew Walker said: 'We humans are a social species. Yet sleep deprivation can turn us into social lepers.'
He added: 'The less sleep you get, the less you want to socially interact. In turn, other people perceive you as more socially repulsive, further increasing the grave social-isolation impact of sleep loss. That vicious cycle may be a significant contributing factor to the public health crisis that is loneliness.'
Humans are often found to want to help, or 'nurture', other vulnerable members of their group. But the authors say this response does not kick in when we are tired. To test how sociable the sleep-deprived volunteers felt, they viewed video clips of individuals with neutral expressions walking towards them. When the person on the video got too close, they pushed a button to stop the playback– recording how close they allowed the person to get.
Sleep-deprived participants kept the approaching person at a significantly greater distance away – between 18 and 60 per cent further back – than when they had been well rested.
Volunteers also had their brains scanned as they watched the videos. In exhausted brains, researchers found heightened activity in a circuit called the 'near-space network'. This is activated when the brain perceives human threats. In contrast, another circuit that encourages social interaction was shut down by sleep deprivation, worsening the problem.
The researchers also looked at whether just one night of good or bad sleep could influence one's sense of loneliness the next day. They found that the amount of sleep a person got on any given night accurately predicted how lonely and unsociable they would feel. But Dr Walker stressed: 'On a positive note, just one night of good sleep makes you feel more outgoing...'

Group presents 4-point state energy strategy
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) � A group entrusted with developing a state energy strategy for New Hampshire has focused on four areas: modernizing the electric grid, increasing efficiency, diversifying the fuel supply, and increasing transportation choices.
The group is made up of the Office of Energy Planning, in consultation with a state Energy Advisory Council created last year and with input from the public and legislators. The report was released Tuesday.
Many of the recommendations are in transportation, including the expansion of charging areas for electric vehicles, with the possibility of offering tax credits for businesses that install public charging stations; and the expansion of mass transit options including local, inter-city, and regional bus lines and rail lines.
Gov. Maggie Hassan said the strategy will help guide the Legislature, government, businesses, nonprofits and citizens.

I am trying to read the
.epub version of this book, but when I open it in the kindle, the page numbers and the header of each page (which as you can see from that website correspond alternatively to the title of the book and the title of the section) appear usually around the middle of the text.
For example, I get something like:
nothing like it or approaching it has ever
been done or is now xi
being done. I say further, what is of
capital importance, that with every step
xi corresponds to the number of the page and
THE SERVILE STATE corresponds to the header of the page. You can see that they appear in the middle of the text. Quite annoying.
Is there something wrong with the file? Is it a problem of my kindle? Can this be fixed?
I have a Kindle 4.1.1.

Yesterday I ran into an old friend at the grocery store. There he sat on the shelf in the cracker isle (saltines et al, not white people(race joke)) smiling at me. Sociables, the cracker with poppy seeds, whom I had not seen in a long time beckoned me to take him home.
I love my poppy seeds so I obliged even though the box was a lot smaller than I remember them. The box also announced that they are baked, I don't remember them being baked either; although the thought of poppy seeds being baked kind of makes sense. (drug joke)
This morning I opened the box and there snuggled inside a securely sealed bag were the crackers awaiting me. After a short, but successful battle unsealing the bag, I had my crackers in view.
Visual inspection revealed the poppy seeds so far, so good. Then I took the first bite. I waited a moment after initially tasting only a cracker, the poppy flavor finally arrived.
As I snacked on them, memories of Bridge parties my parents used to host in Newton came back where once they started playing cards my elder brother and I would sneak out to grab a handful of crackers to snack on.
Even though the box is smaller, the price is larger, the crackers are now baked, and the bag was adult-proof, the flavor was still there.
A lot has changed, but it is still close enough to the crackers I remembered to bring back fond memories!
Welcome back my old friend.

On 31 July 2014, the Irish legislature published the Intellectual Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014. This Bill will, among other things, provide research companies in Ireland with greater legal protection against infringing existing patents when they take steps necessary to obtain regulatory approval for the marketing of human and veterinary medicinal products. The Bill, when enacted, will amend Section 42 of the Patents Act 1992, by expanding the scope of the Bolar-type research exemption currently provided for under Irish law. It will bring Ireland into line with other EU countries with more expansive protections such as Germany.
The current Bolar-type exemption in Section 42 creates a defence to patent infringement claims for studies, tests and trials conducted by pharmaceutical companies with a view to obtaining market authorisation for a medicinal product for human or veterinary use. The exemption was implemented into Irish law in 2006 by the European Communities (Limitation of Effect of Patent) Regulations 2006 on foot of an EU Directive (2004/27/EC). At the time, each Member State was left to interpret and implement the Directive as it saw fit. The Irish legislature, like its counterpart in the UK, provided for literal interpretation of the Directive's exemption provision, which seems to be narrow in its effect. It is thought that the current wording places certain pharmaceutical companies carrying out R&D in Ireland at a competitive disadvantage and this may impact on Ireland's ability to attract foreign direct investment from companies involved in such R&D.
As highlighted by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation in its Regulatory Impact Analysis (April 2013) concerning the proposed expansion of the defence under Irish law, the exemption only extends to studies and trials needed for filing applications for a marketing authorisation in the EU only. The proposed amendment under the Bill will effectively expand the current patent infringement defence for "studies, tests and trials" to include all "studies, tests, experiments and trials (including clinical trials and field trials)" and will cover acts done in Ireland relating to the acquisition of a marketing authorisation outside the EU.
The Department's Regulatory Impact Analysis considered the costs, benefits and impacts of the proposed amendment. It concluded that there were limited costs to its implementation, it would not negatively impact consumers or competition, and would most likely add to national competitiveness by enhancing the attractiveness of Ireland as a location to undertake research and development activities in the generic pharmaceutical sector. At the same time, it recognised the balancing of the rights of innovative companies to recoup their original R&D investment in obtaining the existing patent rights involved.
This amendment will provide greater certainty for pharmaceutical companies engaged in R&D in relation to the type of research activities which do and do not constitute patent infringement under Irish law. It will also move Ireland towards a more harmonised approach in the law between Ireland, the US and other EU Member States. The proposed legislative change will ensure that existing patent rights do not hamper research and innovation in Ireland and encourage companies engaged in such activity to carry out activities here without the fear of patent litigation.
The Bill is only in draft form at present and must pass further stages in both the Dáil and the Seanad before enactment into law. But in light of the conclusions of the Department summarised above, and the importance of R&D activities to the Irish economy, it is likely that this more liberal amendment will be make its way into law shortly.
