My name is Andrew Wycherley and I have practiced in WorkCover doing Common Law since 2012.
I've worked for Wisewould Mahony since I started. I feel like I've grown up here.
My practice requires balance. We provide robust advice behind the scenes and strong advocacy in Court. It's all about knowing which battles to pick.
One of the first legal quotes I remember is "nothing is more subject to change than the laws". That's part of what makes it exciting, you have to adapt and evolve. Through this, I provide my clients with practical, common sense advice and careful analysis, hopefully delivered with a ton of humour.
I'm lucky enough to be surrounded by lawyers who are the best in their field and love what they do. We are a supportive, unpretentious style of firm. No one ever wants to leave Wisewould Mahony and I think that says a lot about the people here and how we go about things.

What you have done after graduating from Bryn Mawr?
After graduating from Bryn Mawr, I continued working as an intern at the UPenn School of Nursing Biostatistics Consulting Unit while also completing a Master of Science degree in Biostatistics from the Dornsife School of Public Health-Drexel University. Near the end of my program, I accepted a position with Eli Lilly and Company as a Senior Statistician and later relocated to Indianapolis, Indiana, to begin my career in the pharmaceutical industry. I began working at Lilly in August of 2016 and currently provide statistical support to clinical trials in the Oncology Business Unit.
How does math connect with your current occupation?
My role as a statistician is very versatile and exciting. I collaborate with study personnel to provide input to statistical analysis plans (SAP), I'm accountable for implementing statistical methods for data analyses that comply with CDISC (Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium) as well as coding, and much more. All SAPs have a methods section that contain justification for selecting a specific statistical methodology. If you were to research that methodology, you would come across a lot of theoretical proofs and many equations. Statistics is often linked to probability theory and is a form of applied math that is used to analyze and explore data in any field that you could think of (medicine, sports, agriculture, finance, law, marketing, etc.).
How has your math experience at Bryn Mawr prepared you for your current position and life after Bryn Mawr?
In order to work as a statistician, you must have at least a master's degree. Most, if not all, statistics programs have required math courses that luckily as a math major, you would have already taken. Many students with little to no math background are often required to take additional courses on top of their required courses in graduate school. Also, in statistics, you do not jump straight into the applied courses; you first have to take several stat theory courses. Taking Linear Algebra, Real Analysis I and II, Number Theory, and Calc I, II & III really prepared me for the theory classes that I had to take. In those courses, I was challenged to really understand the methodology of several concepts such as group theory, probability theory, proof writing, derivatives and integrals, and matrix and vector properties; the list goes on.
Do you have any advice for current math majors?
Being a math major is tough. Most of your friends don't understand what it is that you like about math and you sometimes may ask yourself that when you are challenged on an exam. It gets better, don't switch your major ... you can explore any career path with a strong math background. Regardless of which career path you choose, I would really take the time to learn the core concepts in the upper-level courses that you know you didn't fully grasp during the course. At some point, I'd also highly suggest that everyone takes at least one programming class (Java, Python, R, SAS, etc.).This will help with job searching and also graduate programs. Speaking with your adviser about more than homework is also helpful; you never know who they know or if they'll open your eyes to a career that you never would have thought of. Also, be strategic in picking electives. These courses can help with job opportunities as well (for example, take financial derivatives if you have even a slight interest in finance) and enhance your applied math skills. Lastly, if you are interested in statistics, I would suggest that you also take the time to do an online search on "big data," analytics and informatics. There are a lot of interesting problems that need to be solved and the demand for people with an analytical background is continuing to grow.

Today's word of the day is ancillary (AN-suh-lair-ee adjective - 1: of lower or secondary class or rank : subordinate, subsidiary ; 2: providing additional help or support : auxiliary, supplementary). I was always happy to take an ancillary role at work. I liked my job as it didn't consume my life. Often in management roles the workday extends into the evening and vacations take second place to business demands - that just wasn't where my priorities were. Work was more ancillary to my love of breeding the parrots and the horses - that is where my true passion lay.
I only wish that I could have devoted all my time to these pursuits and not spent so much time tied to a keyboard. I had to stop with the parrots and the horses when I got sick as it was just too much to manage with work demands as well. I wonder how things would have worked out if I had been able to stop working then - perhaps I'd be having fun with baby parrots and foals even now. But it does no good to wonder "what if".

My pleasures today: breakfast with my Mom - its always good to spend some time with her ; lunch with Karen - it's good to see her after so long ; a walk outside to see the ice jam in the river and the backed up flood water over some of our land - the power of water is tremendous ; eating that lemony lentil soup - how can something so good for you (and low in calorie) taste so darn good?
31 Day Challenge is "something you do everyday".
Every single day, without fail, we take the dogs outside for a little play. If the weather is bad the play is shorter but we try to get out there for at least 15 minutes. We always head into the hay field, except for those few weeks in the summer when the grass is high or the hay is newly cut. The dogs run, chasing each other, having a grand old time. We slowly walk around the field, past the barn, past the camper - our trusty home away from home, past the hydro meter for Carm to check, then back up to the house.
|freshly cut hay - why is it always the hottest day of the
summer on baling day?
If we are camping they still get out - we hook up their leashes and head out for a walk - usually for 1/2 hour or more in the morning and at least that long in the evening. We like to take them far from the campsite areas for them to do their business - no one really wants dog pee on their site. Of course we pick up no matter how far off the regular path we go. These camping walks are good exercise for the dogs and us - we all sleep well when we are camping.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints affirms that the Book of Mormon is a volume of sacred scripture comparable to the Bible. It contains a record of God's dealings with three groups of people who migrated from the Near East or West Asia to the Americas hundreds of years before the arrival of Europeans.
Although the primary purpose of the Book of Mormon is more spiritual than historical, some people have wondered whether the migrations it describes are compatible with scientific studies of ancient America. The discussion has centered on the field of population genetics and developments in DNA science. Some have contended that the migrations mentioned in the Book of Mormon did not occur because the majority of DNA identified to date in modern native peoples most closely resembles that of eastern Asian populations.
Basic principles of population genetics suggest the need for a more careful approach to the data. The conclusions of genetics, like those of any science, are tentative, and much work remains to be done to fully understand the origins of the native populations of the Americas. Nothing is known about the DNA of Book of Mormon peoples, and even if their genetic profile were known, there are sound scientific reasons that it might remain undetected. For these same reasons, arguments that some defenders of the Book of Mormon make based on DNA studies are also speculative. In short, DNA studies cannot be used decisively to either affirm or reject the historical authenticity of the Book of Mormon.

To date in 2015 the Swedish Migration Board (Migrationsverket) has recorded almost as many reports of threats and violence in asylum accommodation in Sweden as for all of 2014. Incidents reported are not limited to threats and violence against other people alone, but also to vandalism, arson and even attempted suicide.
Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter reports so far this year, about 35,000 people applied for asylum in Sweden and a record number, 82,000 people are now enrolled with the Migration Board. The vast majority have fled the civil war in Syria but other countries featuring strongly in the immigration statistics are Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan, Kosovo and Iraq.
This has led to overcrowding in immigration housing. In late July, 16,000 asylum seekers were registered in temporary holding places around Sweden. Intended to serve as a short-term solution, most residents have lived there more than half a year. Between four and ten people are forced to share rooms, often arriving as complete strangers from different parts of the world, many unable to speak with each other.
So far in 2015 Swedish Migration Board staff have recorded 804 incident reports, compared with 948 during the whole 2014. Previous years to that saw the figure holding stable at around 500 per annum.
516 incidents occurred in accommodation where asylum seekers are forced to share rooms with people of different nationalities. Other incidents happen at meetings with Migration Board personnel. Monica Karum Bergvall of the Swedish Migration Board told the newspaper there will be more unreported incidents as they cannot police accommodation around the clock, especially in the larger centres.
Bergvall puts some of the volatility down to the delays in the system. Back in 2012 the average waiting time for an asylum application to be processed was three to four months – today it takes on average more than seven months and the Migration Board has already told the government that is likely to go up to ten months.
When the length of time is coupled with a refusal to accept the application the reaction from the asylum seekers can be violent. In most cases this is verbal but examples such as a staff member being sprayed with lighter fuel have been recorded.
Solvig Ekblad, professor of multicultural health services research at the Karolinska Institute, told the newspaper many asylum-seekers experience powerlessness during the process. The absence of structure and activity during the day also feeds stress and in the end it is predictable many react badly.
Ekblad warns that given the overcrowding in much refugee accommodation she is surprised worse things have not happened.

So when I tell you that I am very impressed by the contents of your website, it is just not English politeness. I of course love the subject matter but you deal with it in an energetic and respectful manner. I am overwhelmed by the research that has gone into compiling the list of coachbuilders/bodybuilders for Europe and North America. I have never heard of the vast majority of them.

KUCHING: The second night's performance of the Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) 2015 on Saturday began on a Malaysian beat with indigenous group Mah Meri.
Wearing their iconic wooden masks and mengkuang skirts, they beat their hearts out on log drums and entertained the crowd with their ancient rites and folklore of their community on Carey Island.
Son de Madera, a band all the way from Mexico, continued to keep the audience entertained by playing the Son Jarocho, the regional folk music from Vera Cruz, a fusion of indigenous music with Spanish and African elements.
The audience sang and danced to their melodic, foot-tapping and happy music before being moved by a more oriental ambience as the Kenwy Yangqing Ensemble took the stage, bringing an impressive ensemble of yangqing (dulcimers) to the festival by playing a range of traditional Chinese songs.
Later on, Maldivian band Harubee delivered an energetic performance dancing and beating on the drums, not to mention jumping and dancing around the stage and taking off their clothes as the audience screamed their lungs out.
Culture Shot, a group of six young musicians performed several local native songs including Ulek Mayang and Wau Bulan (Wau Bule) as well as several Chinese songs sang in the Hokkien language accompanied by instruments such as rebana and erhu, which engaged the audience.

BOLIVIA – Orvana Minerals Corp. of Toronto has made the first commercial shipment of gold-silver doré made since the carbon-in-leach circuit was recommissioned at its Don Mario copper-gold-silver mine in Santa Cruz state. The shipment comprised 11 bars containing about 4,800 oz. of gold and 1,700 oz. of silver.
The C-I-L circuit is now fully operational, having poured its first doré on Jan. 22, 2017.
Orvana expects gold recovery to increase to 80% using the C-I-L circuit, compared to 55% from the old flotation-only process. The increased ounces will boost cash flow, allowing the company to pay back the US$7.9 million project financing by the end of fiscal 2017.
Orvana's operating assets consist of the producing gold-copper-silver El Valle and Carlés mines in northern Spain and the producing gold-copper-silver Don Mario mine in Bolivia. Additional information is available at www.Orvana.com.

Continuing my fabulous weekend of quilting celebrity meetings, on Saturday morning double 'n' Dianne and I headed out to Boundary Bay, B.C. for a quilt show. I had read a few days ago on Paulette's blog that she and some friends were heading over from Vancouver Island to speed shop and cruise the show before jumping back on a returning ferry. I would have just a few minutes to meet my blogging buddy before she had to leave! [If you're a long time reader of Poppyprint, you may remember this story....the one where I met Paulette's sister in Barbados right after Paulette won my first ever giveaway. Now, that was crazy!]
Picture by Claire, scooped from Paulette's blog
Paulette, Claire and Dawn were waiting for us in the front entrance surrounded by shopping bags from the merchant mall. We had a great big "so happy to finally meet you in real life!" hug, and then she did it....Paulette gave me the sweetest present! Knowing I've been having a ball in the flickr mug rug swap, she pulled a fast one and made me a gorgeous fall rug from her hand dyed wool collection. Check it out, here on my desk this morning.
Paulette said she brought the mug home and found all the right wool waiting in her stash. Amazing. The colours are just beautiful.
And my morning latte fit perfectly. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, Paulette. I hope next time we can have a nice long visit and maybe do some stitching together. Mwah!
If you're looking for my blogiversary giveaway of Kaffe Fasset FQ's, then you need to head over here!

The Dean of Colombia University's School of Art, a twice nominated Turner Prize painter, a former Danish Minister for Culture and a leading art theorist from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago are among the confirmed participants in a programme of events marking the 20th anniversary of Burren College of Art in Ballyvaughan.
From July 17-20, works by some of its most successful and high profile alumni will go on show, with a symposium exploring alternative models of education, featuring contributions from groundbreaking Irish and overseas art education innovators. Irish-born American painter and printmaker and twice Turner Prize-nominee, Sean Scully will also receive an honorary doctorate.
Located at Newtown Castle, the Burren College of Art specialises in delivering a range of contemporary fine art programmes including photography, sculpture, painting and digital media. Postgraduate programmes at the college have been accredited by National University of Ireland, Galway since 2002.
Mary Hawkes Greene, president and founder of the Burren College of Art (BCA) said the upcoming 20th anniversary celebrations are aimed at showcasing the success of BCA's alternative approach to education, by providing students the time and space to develop their individual talents amidst the inspirational landscape of the world famous Burren.
"By facilitating discussion amongst leading art education innovators from around the world and by showcasing the works of our graduates, we are seeking to highlight BCA's contribution to the arts sector and to serve as a creative springboard for re-imagining what an art school can be at this moment of profound societal change," she said.
By Nicola Corless
Ms Hawkes Greene added, "Creativity and innovation are critical to our economic and social survival; nurturing creativity is what an art school needs to do. We believe everyone has the ability to be creative in whatever they do and expanding this potential is our goal for the next 20 years.
"Establishing the college was, in itself, the creative act of a local, motivated by a passionate love of place and a vision to develop it appropriately. For the past two decades, BCA has been the all-year round economic and social mainstay of Ballyvaughan and the wider Burren Region, our students breathing life into a community whose own youth have emigrated.
"The college has operated sustainably on a non-profit basis without any operational funding from the State. We are very proud of this achievement and of providing an alternative educational model that is intentionally small and focuses on individual development," she concluded.
The BCA 20th anniversary celebration gets underway on Thursday, July 17 when stories of historical and contemporary alternative approaches from the US and Europe will form the basis for the two-day Ex-centric Alternatives symposium.
Contributors include Uffe Elbaek, former Danish Minister for Culture, founder of Kaos Pilots design school and of The Alternativet political party; Professor Brian Butler, director Black Mountain College Museum; Dr Carol Becker, Dean of the School of Arts, Columbia University; Professor Sir Christopher Frayling, former rector of the Royal College of Art, London; Tracy Meisterheim, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden and James Elkins, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
The alumni exhibition, entitled The Middle of Everywhere, opens on July 18 and will feature the work of 40 BCA past students from the US, Mexico, Canada, UK and Ireland.
The Sean Scully honorary conferring takes place on Saturday, July 19 and will be followed by The Best of the Burren – a banquet of Burren food and a recital by Ballyvaughan-born Naomi O'Connell, who has become an international opera star, accompanied by Archie Simpson, founder of The Lismorahaun Singers.

Week in Review
Holey data leaves us 'flying blind' on environment
How can a country solve its environmental issues if it doesn't really know what they are? It can't, says a bracing new report by the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment.
New Zealand knows far too little about whether its soil, water, air or native creature populations are getting better or worse, says a lacerating report by the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment.
Simon Upton has called for the law to be changed so that next April's Ministry for the Environment/Statistics NZ joint report on freshwater is the last to be done under our current, hole-ridden system.
Instead, he wants environmental and statistics staff taken off the "treadmill" of constant reporting that, in his view, doesn't tell us much of what we need to know.
His report has been backed by several environmental scientists, including some involved in the monitoring process.
Patchy and inconsistent data make it impossible to construct a clear national picture, his report says, so policy-makers are "flying blind" - relying on outdated or under-funded information when they make crucial decisions. The system now "is really a passive harvest of the data we happen to have. You rapidly run out of things to say, once you've said it once," he told Newsroom.
Upton's report on New Zealand's environmental monitoring system says governments have for decades failed to seek out and pay for the information we badly need, despite a newish Environmental Reporting Act that aims to improve things.
He contrasts our patchy environmental data with the screeds of long-running, high-quality data collected about the economy since World War II. Virtually the only environmental trends with any comparable long-term data are coastal sea level rise and the world-renowned atmospheric CO2 record from Wellington's Baring Head, he says. "That's the single worst thing about the system," he told Newsroom. "We can't say what's happening over time."
Even those important things that are measured - such as E.Coli levels in swimming water, or the number of native birds - are often gathered locally using such divergent methods that there is no decent national picture, the report found.
Upton questioned how New Zealand was meant to make environmental management decisions when - for example - the last proper survey of our land use cover was undertaken in 2012. "You need to know what's in forest, what's in pasture," he told Newsroom. "This is a land-based economy, and we're worried about carbon and land use change, so it should be regular (surveying)." Information on how land was actually used (as opposed to what it was covered in) was even scarcer, he said. "There is no unified way of measuring or recording that, and this is a land-based economy."
Next steps
Reports like this can easily sink into oblivion.
But Upton is being particularly assertive about this one. He is calling for the next national report on water quality, due in April, to be the last one carried out under our current system.
He'd like to see some public commitment from the Government by Christmas, so Statistics NZ and the environment ministry can get money in the 2020 Budget to improve the situation. It will cost millions; how many is not clear.
"For me it's take it or leave it, you can't do a little bit of this. I think this will fly. But you need to give the commitment to resource it and do it. You need to amend the Act," says Upton.
By June 2020, he has suggested to ministers, there should be a bill in place to amend the Environmental Reporting Act.
By the end of 2020, he thinks New Zealand should have an independent science advisory panel to oversee improvements.
New core environmental indicators should be in place by the end of 2021, he suggests.
And in 2025, New Zealand could have a state of the environment report he believes would be much more meaningful.
But officials "can't do that if they're on a treadmill producing the current set of reports", he says.
Statistics Minister James Shaw was busy getting the Zero Carbon Bill through its third reading yesterday, and didn't immediately react. Upton says he has spoken to ministers including Shaw and Parker, and had extensive talks with environmental officials and regional councils to make sure his recommendations are doable.
What does he think his chances are? "That's one thing I can't do a research report on to tell me. I think the chances are good, provided the Government is prepared to give this (fiscal) priority."
Scathing comments
The report is scathing of the system, though not of the people trying their best inside it.
It hasn't been long since the Ministry for the Environment and Statistics New Zealand released their first full report under New Zealand's Environmental Reporting Act 2015, called Environment Aotearoa 2019. The Act was supposed to improve the quality of environmental data.
However, Upton's report implies it was a major missed opportunity by Cabinet. "A conscious choice was made to make do with what there was ... For whatever reason, the system appears to have been designed to make do with whatever information happened to be available and makes no commitment to gather anything more," he says.
While the report says Environment Aotearoa was a step up on previous reporting efforts, it also revealed glaring gaps. However, he stressed he was calling to improve the new system, not replace it. "People have done a very good job within the constraints, a better job than you might have expected, which tells you how dedicated they are," he told Newsroom.
Some of the major monitoring gaps the report identifies include:
- Land cover: "New Zealand has no robust, comprehensive and nationally representative land use map, let alone one that is regularly updated," says the report. "I don't think anyone would seriously argue that investors or policymakers should take decisions on the basis of seven-year-old data – too much happens in seven years."
- Air pollution: The report says New Zealand has limited data about concentrations of particulate matter (PM2.5) despite the public health impacts of breathing it.
- Soil and erosion: There is no national monitoring of soil erosion, making it hard to know if the way people are using land is depleting soil.
- Marine health: The focus on single-species management of commercial fisheries under the quota management system means "marine biodiversity is poorly understood, and we have only a limited understanding of the impact our various activities are having on our marine ecosystems."
- Water quality: There is no consistent, long-term data on how much water people are taking from aquifers and rivers, making it hard to get a handle on the reasons for water quality trends.
Overall, the report says the system is beset by "huge gaps in environmental data and knowledge" and "inconsistencies in how data is collected and analysed", which are being compounded by a "science funding system that does not properly recognise the importance of routine data collection".
"Every year we delay the collection of data in an area identified as a significant gap, we commit New Zealand to flying blind in that area," it says.
The report skewers a tendency by successive governments to make funding for environmental research short-term, contestable or reliant on a project demonstrating innovation or novelty.
Upton told Newsroom the focus on "crowd-pleasing" research and innovation comes at the expense of filling gaps in our understanding of environmental problems that we already know about, but don't have the full picture.
Ironically, Upton says, the kind of innovation the government wants to see from our environmental scientists is only possible if we understand the environment properly in the first place.
Positive reaction
Secretary for the Environment Vicky Robertson said Upton's review largely reinforced the Ministry for the Environment's own thinking and changes it had already started making.
However, Upton stressed a law change was needed to implement his changes.
Among the changes he recommended were: a clear set of core environmental indicators, establishing longer-term, consistent monitoring of important trends, putting more emphasis on drivers of problems, such as population growth, and reacting quicker to emerging threats.
The reaction from environmental scientists - some of whom have been involved in the existing environmental reporting process - was almost universally positive.
Despite some quibbles about how Upton's recommendations should be implemented, several gave the impression they had been waiting, and hoping, for someone to draw attention to the problem.
"It covers all the things I wanted to see and much more. I hope this report is a watershed moment for the way we monitor (and manage) the health of our environment," said Andrea Byrom, co-director of the Biological Heritage National Science Challenge.
"We often take free access to good information for granted. The Parliamentary Commissioner ... has just analysed New Zealand's environmental reporting system, and tells us that we simply can't depend on it as it stands," said Troy Baisden, a professor of lake and freshwater science at the University of Waikato.
"The report emphasises how our current environmental reporting system is largely reliant on 'cobbling together what information we have at hand", says Roger Young, a freshwater expert at the Cawthron Institute and Our Land and Water National Science Challenge.
"There are persistent shortages of environmental data ... and some shortages are quite severe. For example, approximately 150 of the thousands of lakes in New Zealand are currently monitored, and less than half of the 150 lakes had sufficient water quality data for state and trend analysis in the 2019 NIWA report. Extrapolating from such a small number of lakes to several thousand is fraught with uncertainty," said Scott Larned, the chief freshwater scientist at NIWA.
The report also got endorsement from the umbrella group for regional councils - who carry out much of New Zealand's freshwater monitoring. "The lack of coherent national reporting has been a bugbear for councils over the years," said Local Government New Zealand President Dave Cull in a statement. "New Zealand's fragmented national environmental data landscape has made it difficult to respond to problems before they escalate into crises. It's also provided a breeding ground for misinformation."

The SAARC policies aim to promote welfare economics, collective self-reliance among the countries of South Asia, and to accelerate socio-cultural development in the region.
A country which is surrounded by land is called landlocked country. The boundary of a landlocked country is not determined by any seas and oceans but by mountains, hills etc.
Landlocked countries experience less economic growth than non-landlocked countries, holding other variables constant. The economic and other disadvantages experienced by such countries makes the majority of landlocked countries least developed countries.

The Doctor Who episode "Inferno" from the Jon Pertwee era is one of the few where the Doctor, rather than going backwards or forwards in time, slips sideways into a parallel universe. The episode thus features the interesting scenario of the Doctor trying to prevent a catastrophe in his own universe, seeing events unfold in a somewhat but not completely different parallel universe, and then returning to his own to try to prevent the catastrophe armed with knowledge from what happened in the parallel universe.
The Doctor actually reflects on the moral and human implications of where he finds himself, concluding that there is in fact genuine free will, since there are infinite universes with infinite possibilities.
This seems like a perhaps desirable, but nevertheless illogical conclusion to draw, based merely on this brief experience. It would take more evidence to demonstrate that the differences resulted from free choices, and not differences at the quantum level, for instance, which might be random but would not necessarily for that reason constitute free choice. Indeed, if there are an infinite number of universes, it would seem inevitable that an infinite number of versions of you will make the wrong choice instead of the right one an infinite number of times. Hardly encouraging.
But then again, if there is genuine freedom, then there is nothing intrinsic in the nature of the universe to prevent you from making the right choice this time, is there? And so it seems that the existence of parallel universes at least leaves room for hope, even if it doesn't inherently provide it.
The topic of acting to save other versions of oneself or one's loved ones in a parallel universe is one I discussed a while back in connection with the show Fringe.
Other than broad themes which are as much about ethics as about religion, the only real religious reference in the episode is when Greg refers to people having made "a little tin god" of Prof. Stahlman. This makes explicit what is implicit but prominent throughout the episode, namely the theme of scientists "playing God" and putting humanity at risk in the process.
When the Doctor makes reference in the episode "The Mind of Evil" to having witnessed a world destroyed by fire, it could be a reference to what happens in the parallel universe in this episode.
You can watch the episode online at DailyMotion:http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xptm0v_inferno-part1_shortfilms
What do others who've seen this episode think? And on the broader topic, if it turns out that there are parallel universes, would they seem like a reason for hope, or despair, or morally neutral? Perhaps this is particularly worth pondering as we await the return of Fringe…

With power restored in the heart of Manhattan after Saturday's blackout cut electricity to nearly a quarter-million people, attention Sunday turned to why it happened and what can be done to prevent another outage.
A preliminary investigation by the utility showed that portions of a large substation on the West Side at 49th Street that feeds electricity to the streets and structures failed Saturday night, officials with the utility said Sunday. Consequently, that substation lost the ability to feed electricity for more than 40 blocks, the utility said. The resulting outage knocked out signal power to six subway lines, leaving trains stalled on tracks and forcing the evacuation of nearly 3,000 riders.
Above ground, the blackout, which officials said began at about 6:47 p.m., forced the cancellation of 26 Broadway shows, sending patrons into darkened Theater District streets. Once there, they joined thousands of others along thoroughfares where knocked-out traffic lights made driving a slow-moving challenge. In multistory buildings, elevators stopped working, leaving passengers stuck.
Officials Sunday ruled out a cyber attack or high demand for electricity as causes. In a statement, Con Ed said it "sincerely regrets the power disruption to our customers on the west side of Manhattan and will be conducting a diligent and vigorous investigation to determine the root cause of the incident."
The power was restored at about midnight, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said in a statement.
Cuomo directed the state's Department of Public Service to investigate the outage.
"While fortunately no injuries occurred as a result of this incident, the fact that it happened at all is unacceptable," Cuomo said in a statement before power was fully restored.
Electricity went out for about 72,000 customers, said spokeswoman Anne Marie Corbalis, noting there are about three electricity users for each ratepayer, on average.
At an unrelated news conference Sunday, Sen. Chuck Schumer called on the U.S. Department of Energy to investigate Con Ed.
Mayor Bill de Blasio cut short a presidential campaign trip in Iowa and returned to the city Sunday.
"We are going to hold Con Ed's feet to the fire," de Blasio said at an afternoon news conference in Manhattan.
In a CNN interview Sunday morning, the mayor defended his absence and said his administration would examine what caused the outage, with the aim of averting a future recurrence
"When you're a mayor, or a governor, you're going to travel for a variety of reasons," de Blasio said. "The important thing is to have your hand on the wheel, make sure things are moving effectively and communicate with people. Even from where I was, I was able to do that right away."
Consolidated Edison Company of New York president Tim Cawley said a preliminary report on the blackout is expected in the coming weeks. Redundancies built into the substation's operation, and designed to prevent an outage in the event of a failure, didn't work, Cawley said.
"We're going to have to dig deep to understand not withstanding all of those built-in backups," Cawley said. "This event sort of got past that and resulted in the large outage at the West Side station."
According to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the subways, the outage cut power to the signals on six train lines running under Sixth and Eighth avenues — the A, C, E and D, F, M — and shuttered the lights at 11 midtown stations. It took about an hour to evacuate 2,875 subway riders from five trains that were stalled on the tracks, MTA Transit president Andy Byford said.
The NYPD had to pull resources from across the five boroughs and brought in a car from each precinct, Commissioner James O'Neill said.
There were no reports of injuries or fatalities, said Deanne Criswell, commissioner of the city's Emergency Management Department.
The FDNY reported Sunday having received 701 calls to 911 from 7:30 p.m. Saturday to 12:15 a.m. Sunday from people reporting fires, being stuck in elevators and other issues. FDNY Fire Commissioner Dan Nigro said the department answered calls for 400 stuck elevators.
St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital operated during the outage using an emergency generator but had no air conditioning, City Council Speaker Corey Johnson said. Jennifer Lopez's concert at Madison Square Garden was postponed and rescheduled for Monday at 8 p.m., the Garden said in a news release, with original tickets honored.
The canceled Broadway shows included such popular musicals as "Hamilton," "Dear Evan Hansen" and "Wicked." All shows were expected to proceed Sunday, according to a statement from the Broadway League.
Janet Lambert, 49, and her daughter, who were visiting from Pasadena, California, for a dance conference, were supposed to go on a tour of Radio City Music Hall on Saturday. The blackout canceled the tour and Lambert said she had third-row tickets for Saturday night's canceled performance of "To Kill a Mockingbird."
"I had bought tickets to this and now I'm crying," she said half-jokingly as she waited in line for Sunday's showing of the play. "It was third row and we were really looking forward to it."
Lambert's luck turned a bit, as she did get tickets for Sunday's show, albeit with a view blocked by the orchestra.
Holly Mason, 67, of Charlotte, North Carolina was in town for a conference and had tickets to Saturday night's showing of "King Kong," which was canceled.
"I figured it happens and there is nothing you can do," she said. "It is a bit bad because it's closing."

I finally closed out my holiday baking, and tins and boxes are slowly making their ways to clients, colleagues and loved ones. This part is the best part of baking showering people I care about with my handmade cookies. I think it really encapsulates the spirit of the season for me.
And to see the joy and excitement on people's faces because of my hard work and love is SO SPECIAL.
Well, nothing says labor of love more than springerle cookies. For those of you that don't know, this cookie traditionally takes 3 days. You may have seen master bakers tackle this, using extraordinary molds with details that boggle the mind. Like, look at this craziness made my House On The Hill:
and this!
Some of these molds are handed down from generation to generation. If you really want to get good at this cookie and do extravagant molds, here is a great place to buy them, and they share another version of this recipe they feature on youtube using the traditional hartshorn baking powder. Their recipe intrigued me, but it uses butter and anise oil. As you will see in my video, I wanted to try older recipes from these old antique cookbooks I found, and both those recipes do not use butter. They also use the sprinkling of anise seed method on the baking sheets. When I did research on Wikipedia, this was the way they have traditionally been made in the dark ages. So I wanted to try that first.
The video below takes you through my adventure. The result was very good! I do want to try hartshorn next time because supposedly the cookies rise higher and create a better texture. Evidently, it is hard to find, but heck. I'll try Amazon and redo this next year for a comparison.
Springerle Cookies the Semi-Traditional Way
4 cups of sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 a teaspoon of salt
4 eggs set out to warm to room temperature
drop of vanilla extract
2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons of grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons of crushed anise seed
confectioners' sugar for rolling
2 tablespoons of butter
Sift flour with baking powder and salt twice in a bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl with a stand mixer at high-speed beat the eggs until thick and light yellow in color, about five minutes. Then at medium speed beat in the granulated sugar 3 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. This will take about 10 minutes and the mixture will get shiny and thick. Occasionally clean the side of the bowl with a spatula to make sure that the sugar is getting incorporated.
Next add the lemon zest and the drop of vanilla and whip well. Now change the whisk to a paddle and gradually add the flour mixture on low. If the last of the flour mixture doesn't incorporate well use a wooden spoon or incorporate by hand. The dough will be stiff and sticky.
Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead lightly. Divide into three sections, and shape them into a rough rectangle, about 4 x 6 or 5 x 7, flat. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill overnight. Also chill your forms and molded rolling pin.
Wrap two large baking sheets with tinfoil and rub the 2 tablespoons of butter evenly on each. Next crush the anise seeds (1 tablespoon per baking sheet) and sprinkle evenly right on the butter. Set the baking sheets aside.
Take your first chilled dough rectangle and place it on your worksurface that's been sprinkled with confectioners' sugar. Sprinkle the top with confectioners' sugar and with a flat rolling pin, roll it to roughly 5 x 7" but check your molded rolling pin and make sure that it is the right length and width to fit your springerle rolling pin. If you are using forms, size doesn't matter but make sure the thickness of the dough is right for the molds to get the right impression.
With a pastry brush, dust the springerle rolling pin (or molds) with confectioners' sugar. Starting at the end take the edge of your rolling pin and press down. As you roll it up, put heavy pressure on the rolling pin so that the form gets molded into the dough and roll all the way up and then release the rolling pin. Use a sharp knife and cut along the borders and set each cookie directly on the anise seeds and butter on the baking sheets. Continue with all three dough pieces, gathering remnants or broken imperfect pieces in a clump as you go. Gather all your remnant dough and reshape it with a little bit of water on your fingers into a rectangle to get the last batch of cookies rolled out. If the dough becomes too sticky from adding water use flour underneath the dough and on top to make sure that this last piece of dough made from other remnants come together and is workable, but not too sticky that it sticks to your molding rolling pin.
Once you have all the dough made into cookies, you're going to let these cookies set overnight uncovered in a quiet, dry place.
The next day, heat your oven to 300˚ and bake cookies until just lightly golden on the edges. Flip the trays after 10 minutes for even baking. Bake for about 20-23 minutes then pull them out and let them cool on the trays. Store cookies in a tin with wax paper dividing layers. They're good for 2 to 3 weeks. In fact, they get better with age! For more specific directions check out my YouTube video below!

This post originally appeared on citationsneeded.com
This is the second in a multipart series on bogus origin stories. A brief explanation of which can be read here:
If ever there were a turn of phrase that molested, without right or remorse, Orwell's axiom that one ought to let the "meaning choose the word, and not the other way around." it would be "Homeland Security" and our generation's uniform acquiesce to its vague charge. What defined a "homeland", no one could really say. What defined "security" no one could say. The word, after the trauma of 9/11 (to say nothing of its subsequent media-induced meta-traumas), had given us a meaning, and that meaning was enough to justify it's own existence.
We had a "homeland" after all, and that homeland needed "security". Why there had not existed such a department for the previous 225 years of the republic, during which time such threats as "Indian raids", counter-imperial invasions, a brutal civil war, mass social unrest, Pearl Harbor, German U-boat attacks, and communist-induced nuclear winter had routinely surfaced, seemed unimportant. What was important was that 9/11 Changed Everything™ and something something information sharing and something something bureaucratic inefficiency. What was important, above all, was being safe.
Incidentally, as luck would have it in preparation of this piece, a few recent news items took place that help illustrate the sheer goofiness of a "homeland" as a sensible conceit.
- Several pundits, even typically centrist hawk Chris Mathews, noted the vague and problamatic nature of the term in our run up to war with ISIS
- Last Friday's mysterious buzzfeed-like report from the White House, 15 Economic Facts About Millennials, that bizarrely claimed anyone born after 2005 was a member of the "Homeland Generation"
How did we get here? How did we get to a point where even a supposed liberal White House is willing to, quite literally, condemn an entire generation using a deeply loaded term coined by PR consultants William Strauss and Neil Howe to describe a life of "tracked mobile digital technology, screening psychological software, and surveillance by entertainment controls"? This isn't just leftist acquiesce to a Bush-era construct - it's a wholesale endorsement of it.
The Department of Homeland Security was ostensibly created in the aftermath of 9/11 to radically alter the structure of domestic security to address the "new threat" of "terrorist attacks, man-made accidents, and natural disasters." The official wiki-truth as of two weeks ago read as such — transcribed entirely from the Department of Homeland Security's own (now dead-linked) website.
The official DHS.gov history also make it clear: the DHS was a deliberative and necessary reponse to 9/11:
The official creation timeline plays out as such:
September 11th 2001: US attacked by al Qaeda
September 20th 2001: Bush, before a joint session of congress, unilaterally appoints Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge to head a "Homeland Security Office" which he creates without Congressional consent or approval. The current Wikitruth narrative does little to rectify this legal tautology:
June 14th, 2002: First formal White House proposal to create a department of Homeland Security
November 25th, 2002: Congress passed Public Law 107-296, officially creating the Department of Homeland Security
November 2002 to March 2003: The newly minted DHS absorbs 22 different Federal departments. The DHS's website, as it stands now, offers up this "chronology of events" sans dates:
The creation of the Department of Homeland Security and all of its essential features were laid out in detail months before 9/11 by three distinct entities:
- The U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century in its final, Phase III report in January 2001 that advocated for the creation of a cabinet-level "Homeland Security Agency"
- Two separate bills, one on March 21st, 2001 and one a week later both proposing what would later become the Homeland Security Department and the "Homeland Security Office" respectively.
- Highly-influential National Security think tank RAND corporation in it'sJuly 2001 report "Preparing the U.S. Army for Homeland Security" on the urgency of creating such a department.
There exist no evidence, either in congressional minutes, academic archives, or a press records, before January 2001, detailing either the idea or proposing the creation of a "Homeland Security" agency as such. Formally, it's a concept that is entirely unique to the brief pre-9/11 Bush era.
It's important to understand the the logic behind the creation of a centralized "Homeland Security" department as opposed to the circa 2000 status quo of disparate departments: rapid response and information sharing. The DHS website makes clear:
It bears mentioning, of course, the reason why FEMA, the FBI's counter-terrorism efforts, the Coast Guard, the National Guard, Immigration Services, the Department of Energy were divided was because none of these departments were or could have been created for the purposes of broad domestic policing. They were specific departments with specific statutory logic based on specific and proven threats - trans-state crime, threats to our shores, emergency response, information technology, etc - to combine these departments would be, in effect, a radical admission that a permanent, quasi-militarized mechanism of domestic policing was both necessary and constitutionally justified. Indeed, what gets overlooked in all the post-9/11 "connnecting the dots" revisionism, is that the barriers that prevented the "connecting of dots" in the first place existed for a very crucial and Constitutionally-pertinent reason: a reason that has unfortunately become obvious in recent weeks:
Importing military practices to domestic security would, in effect, help cement a "global battlefield" that would include American soil and thus go along way to erode the distinction between domestic security and militarism. Indeed, a "homeland", definitionally, entails a land away from "home", and thus has the added bonus of conflating any threat inevitably caused by imperial occupation aboard with domestic preparedness and policing resulting from its blowback - virtually guaranteeing
permanent war as a matter of course.
This logic, while sinister-sounding when laid bare, would serve as both the overarching theme of The Commission on National Security/21st Century's "vision" for America in the 21st century and the core principle behind Bush's post-9/11 power consolation: terrorism and "threats to the homeland" lurked everywhere and a centralized, executive-run department that operated supranationally and streamlined the "barriers" between local authorities and America's military apparatus was both over-due and essential to preventing another attack. Never mind that our perpetual intervention overseas was what caused this threat in the first place, or the fact that all of Bush and Ashcroft's post 9/11 "home grown", "sleeper cell" claims would turn out to be hooey, the establishment of an undefined and global network of terrorists necessarily entailed an equally undefined and global domestic response apparatus to match. But this threat, as Adam Curtis explained in his 2004 BBC documentary The Power of Nightmares, would be as much fact as it was fiction.
It wasn't that al Qaeda did not "exist" as such - there certainly were 19 Islamist hijackers who conspired to attack the United States in Sept. 2001 - it's that "al Qaeda" as it was explained to us after the fact - as a distinct and organized Jihadi group that was well-financed and could strike at any time - turned out to be largely overblown and disproportionate relative to the largest reorganization of the Federal government since World War II. But this didn't matter. As the historical record indicates: the overall infrastructure of the DHS was already deemed necessary to defending "the homeland" and 9/11 would serve as both context and pretext.
After a bit of back-and forth with the wikigods, I've attempted to established a new truth reflecting this genealogy. Here are some examples of the DHS's Wikipedia entry before and after my edits:
That the Department of Homeland Security and all of it's core components pre-date 9/11 is important for two reasons:
- Truth matters. Truth is good. Truth is your friend
- It illustrates that history, despite the appeal of definable "moments" that Change Everything™ and our corroralary fetish for coining generations, is not comprised of either great men or great moments. It's a Battleship. A slow-moving force that rarely, if ever, turns on a dime. The core componets of the DHS had been the in works for years - worked out by dozens of by think tanks, politicians, ideologues, and an assortment of "national security" experts who believed - cynically or not - that a uniform domestic policing and surveillance mechanism was an important antidote to America's anti-domestic policing and corporate imperialism streak
In the wake of the Civil War the plural "these United States" fell out of favoras pundits and politics alike began to embrace the singular "the United States". The United States, as a country, was no longer a literal expression but rather an entirely distinct entity, rendering the Confederacy's claim to a separate sovereignty null-in-void. The removal of these two letters did more to delegitimize any remaining Southern discontent than a thousand words could have.
Just the same, the idea of a "Homeland" carries with it similar purchase. As mentioned above, a "homeland" necessarily entails land away from the "home". Indeed, one cannot have a homeland, by definition, without also having foreign lands or else it would simply be called "the land" or, in the words of Woody Guthrie, "our land". Critics are right that the rise of this phrase as a separate and meaningful conceit is one of the more pernicious intellectual coups of Bush's radical rightwing reign - conditioning Amcericans to accept permanent empire and its inevitable blowback as the "new normal". But they're wrong to dismiss both its verbiage and its core premise as a response to 9/11. It wasn't. It was an exploitation of 9/11. An exploitation that becomes more and more apparent the more one understands the true history and animating logic behind it's rise.
From this morning:
From 1940:

Harris drives himself around the mezzanine's south-east corner. Two more laps around the atrium, maybe three. He won't have time for four. Walking is good for creative thought. Being away from the office is good for any kind of thought. He can't think in that fairground of hollered conversations, phone rings, keyboard clatters, printer whirs… Nor in the fog of alpha-female pheromones.
Never mind the hurdles; he has a conundrum to solve. He focuses on the brick red railings passing at his left. The regular vertical stripes of shiny red soothe him. Until they refract into nauseating undulating shimmers.
Half way along the east side, Harris momentarily achieves a meditative state. Ironically this is vaporised by a numinous shaft of light from a southwestern skylight. Reflexively he halts, tilts his face perpendicular to it, to maximise the radiation, imagining he feels the warmth of divine inspiration. He registers a faint sigh. Sighing would probably be a key theme in the office soundtrack if it weren't smothered by the fairground effects. The fairground conundrum. A seat in the sun would be good.
Harris wheels about and steps over to the nearest bench. This is mostly an act of spatial memory as his eyes are still readjusting to not staring at a nuclear explosion. Lucky chance has him alight not on top of someone else. As his eyes return to usual levels of exposure, he finds he is not at the epicentre of the beam. That position is occupied by a woman with a tilted face, closed eyes and beatific smile. He aborts his inner mocking reflex with the evidence for his own recent practice.
Harris launches in, "it's like an alien tractor beam, isn't it?"
The woman replies without turning her head, "I wasn't sighing out of pique—it's not my sunlight—I was exhaling in sort of appreciation."
"Maybe you've had enough? I mean, maybe you're cooked enough? Sorry, I keep sounding disrespectful."
"No effect. Too good a day."
"Depends where you're sitting. Argh, sorry, sorry; I don't mean literally; I mean my day's pretty shite, as usual."
"I was just wondering who to share my good fortune with first. Who might be most in need. And here you are."
The woman flicks her head to face Harris and opens her eyes. He feels them rake through his motivations. The sensation is curiously paralysing.
"I'm Iona."
"Harris. What fortune?"
"I got a commission."
"From here?"
"To fill that space." She indicates the massive cuboid of air within the mezzanine's confines, capped by the shallow tetrahedral roof.
"With what? Why would you?! What are you?"
"Styrofoam; to blot out everything pleasant; a sadist."
Harris tips his head back and manages half a chuckle. "Knee-jerked again, didn't I?"
Iona turns back to the project space. "Serious answers: I don't know yet; to make people think, to achieve your company's objective and hopefully to get paid; and, I suppose, a sort of installation artist."
"But however good your intentions, anything's going to blot out that magnificent light!"
"OK, give me an example! Please don't say some ghastly perspex construction."
"Just one? The sound of brass cogs and shafts, pistons and capstans, in an enormously convoluted contraption."
"Yeh, I see how that's not going to obliterate anything at all. And how are you going to hang it? Sky hooks?"
"A speaker?"
"Ah, I see: 'the sound of…'; cunning."
Iona turns to feel the sunlight fade, replaced by her smugness. Not to totally take advantage of her troubled companion, though. Supposed to be sharing fortune here.
"What's your bother?"
"That's what I was doing circuits to solve."
"Before you stopped to interfere with my sunlight."
"Can't get anything right."
"So let me spread my irrepressible joy over your problem and make you feel even worse."
"I can't really tell you. I mean, I'm not being mysterious, it just wouldn't be appropriate."
"How about … a metaphor?"
"Er, OK, I have— No, there are two boxes. I can pick one or the other."
"What do they look like?"
"These boxes."
"Does it matter?"
"It would help me visualise the … options."
"They're solid, ebony cubes, with lids. Thick sides."
"How big?"
"Pfff, about twenty centimetres each way. Happy?"
"Ecstatic. Thank you."
Harris realises he's going to be late back to the office. Suddenly he doesn't care. It was a mostly self-imposed target anyway. The world has changed.
He volunteers more imaginary detail to delay the inevitable. "There's a regular dashed pattern in a strip near the top of each side. You want to know if there are any chips or other blemishes?"
"I'd like to predict the inside."
"Piss off."
"OK, I'm going to write it down … then we can check later if I'm right."
Iona fishes a scrap of paper and pencil out a pocket and scribbles. She scrumples the paper and lays it on the bench between them. Harris is unimpressed.
"Absolutely. On you go."
Harris settles back to describe professional contents that have leaked in different ways into his personal life. One tends to froth angrily and foam stickily over the edge of its container. The other seems under control until you spot the poison leaching from the bottom corner. Under questioning, he admits the boxes are there as much to segregate the contents from each other as from his personal life.
"I can't cope with both; I don't even know if I can manage one, but I'll have to try."
Iona cocks her head, mildly amused. "Will you?"
"What other choice is there?"
"There's always a third way."
"Go back a bit."
"In time? Are you going to tell me the two boxes were once parts of the same original box?!"
"That would be ridiculous."
"Step back."
"Bloody metaphors. Oh, surprise, there's a third box, sneaking into view."
"And what's in this one?"
"No idea."
"Can you look?"
"Nope. Mystery."
"Hm, well, I'm sorry. I see I've just massively wasted your time on this entertaining but fruitless diversion."
Harris caresses the scrumpled paper prediction. After tantalising himself for a couple of seconds, he snatches it and pulls it open. He frowns, reorients the writing.
Iona watches him sidelong, curious but trying not to be too attached. After a few seconds of his neutral expression, she nudges, "well?"
Harris jumps up. "Come on."
"Where? Why?"
"I'm going to need your help with these boxes. Well, with the other two."
Iona hesitates. "They're not going to like it."
"Absolutely not. I see my metaphor wasn't as veiled as I imagined."
"You chose the third box?"
"Of course I did. I may be afraid of the unknown but I'm not a masochist for known poisons."
Harris strides north. Iona grabs her bag and tries to keep up.
Harris calls back, "how'd you know then? Is red silk some standard default male mental image?"
"Railings, Harris. How many circuits?"
"What? Because they're red and shiny?"
"What does this building look like outside?"
"I hate architects. And artists. What's your name again?"
"No, it's Box Three."
