The Coliseum, Westgate, Bradford
Later - The St. James's Hall / Protestant Working Men's Hall
Also sometimes known as Pullan's Music Hall
Bradford Index
The Coliseum was a Music Hall situated in Westgate, Bradford and built for Henry Pullan in 1849. It was often referred to as Pullan's Music Hall but shouldn't be confused with his later replacement Music Hall which was constructed nearby in Brunswick Place in 1869 and actually named Pullan's Music Hall.
The Coliseum was run by Henry Pullan until his new Hall was opened in October 1869. The last week of his management of the Coliseum was reported in the ERA of the 24th of October 1869 saying:- 'PULLAN'S MUSIC HALL - Mddle Rouselle (characteristic dancer), Miss Lizzy Pearce (serio-comic vocalist), Mr T. B. Bridge (comic vocalist and instrumentalist) and Mr C. Clements (comic vocalist), are the latest additions to the company. The present week is the last of Mr Pullan's long and successful career at the above Hall, Monday night, the 25th, being fixed for the opening of the new Hall, which is undoubtedly one of the most commodious and elegant Music Halls in the Provinces, being 120 feet in length, and 74 feet in width; the height of the ceiling is 41 feet, and the stage 36 feet in depth. The decorations are exceedingly chaste, and the internal arrangements most complete.' - The ERA 24th October 1869.
The Coliseum was later renamed the St. James's Hall, and then later still the Protestant Working Men's Hall. The building was demolished for the Westgate improvements around 1892.

- Selfridges
A building with a thousand aluminum disks, which is also a part of The Bull Ring shopping center. The most recognizable building in the city center.
- Gas Street
In times, when the city did not have a well-developed network of roads or railways, Gas Street had a very important function in transportation. Being the main place of loading and unloading in the city, Gas Street was the first to have gas lighting. Hence the name of the street. In 1960, water transport by channels lost its importance. Road and railroad transportation proved to be too strong of a competition for water transport. The last company to use the channels was Cadbury in Burnville. For some time, the channels were forgotten.
- Oozells Square
It is worth it to visit this place in spring, when the cherry trees bloom. This tiny square transforms then into a charming place, where you can regain strength before continuing the exploration of the city. In addition to the blossoming cherry trees, there is an Ikon Gallery. The contemporary art gallery is located in a historic Victorian building. The gallery organizes workshops, family days, special events. You can also take a guided tour of the gallery itself.
- Centenary Square
It is in this place, where the popular buildings of the city are gathered. Hall of Memory, Library of Birmingham, Symphony Hall, Repertory Theater (The REP), and in front of them, there is a golden statue of the pioneers of the industrial era: J. Watt, M. Boulton and W. Murdoch. A big drawback of strolling there on Sunday morning is the lack of access to the observation terrace in the library. The library is closed on Sundays.

1 Samuel 9:15-17 Modern English Version (MEV)
15 Now the Lord had revealed in the ear of Samuel one day before Saul came, saying, 16 "Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man out of the land of Benjamin. And you will anoint him to be leader over My people Israel, that he may save My people out of the hand of the Philistines. For I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come unto Me."
17 When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him, "Here is the man of whom I spoke to you! This one will rule over My people."

With roots dating back to the early 1800's, the Poconos is rich in history. Previously consumed with tourism, coal mining and conservation, the locale past is one of robust antiquity.
Whether coming to see America's first commercial locomotive train or the infamous Lincoln Flag, there's a ton of history to be discovered. Read on for eight museums to visit across the region.
1. Asa Packer Mansion
Located in historic Jim Thorpe, the Asa Packer Mansion was built in 1861 for multi-millionaire Asa Packer. He moved to town during the booming coal mining industry, founded the local railroad and university and made significant contributions to the community.
This 18-room, Victorian-style mansion has been preserved in all its glory and can be toured seven days a week from Memorial Day to October 31.
2. Columns Museum
The Columns Museum is home to the Pike County Historical Society in downtown Milford. Here, area artifacts from the early 1900's are on display; tour times vary throughout the year.
One of the most notable exhibits is the Lincoln Flag, which has remained a key component of our nation's past. The museum also has genealogy records available for those in search of their own history.
3. Dorflinger Glass Museum
Nestled into the wooded forests of the Poconos, the Dorflinger Glass Museum is home to one of the nation's largest displays of Dorflinger Crystal. Starting in the 1860's, Christian Dorflinger produced the finest glassware here where some pieces were distinguished enough to reside in the White House.
Several exhibits display over 1,000 pieces of crystal throughout the museum. Tours are available Wednesday through Sunday from now until October 28.
4. Grey Towers National Historic Landmark
Perched on top of 100, secluded acres sits Grey Towers National Historic Landmark. Built in 1886 in Milford as a summer retreat for the Pinchot family, Grey Towers later became son Gifford Pinchot's permanent residence.
With a true love for the environment, Gifford introduced conservation to the country and founded the United State Forest Service. Since donated to the US Forest Service and established as a national landmark, mansion tours are available Thursday through Monday now until December.
5. Old Jail Museum
Another gem in downtown Jim Thorpe, the Old Jail Museum is a must-see. Since it's creation in 1871, the jail was in operation until 1995. It's claim to fame is the hanging of the notorious Molly Maguires miners and Cell 17; a handprint of a prisoner who proclaimed his innocence has eerily remained on the wall for hundreds of years.
Rumored supernatural activity occurs at the jail when you least expect it. Come experience a late-night ghost tour in the fall or visit now except Wednesdays.
6. Pocono Indian Museum
The Pocono Indian Museum is the only museum in the region that showcases the history of the native Delaware Indian. Dating as far back as 10,500 BC, the museum features ancient artifacts, weapons, and tools that the Indians weaved into the framework of their culture over thousands of years.
Open year-round besides Thanksgiving and Christmas, the museum also features a large gift shop full of both traditional and non-traditional treasures.
7. Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm
Step back in time to experience life on the farm. Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm is a life-action museum preserving the 19th century Pennsylvania German heritage that founded the farm. Period-dressed "family" members re-enact the life of the original family who lived here from the 1760s to 1913.
Live agriculture demonstrations and events occur throughout the year as well as special holiday festivities. The farm is now open for tours Tuesday through Sunday until Labor Day.
8. Wayne County Historical Society & Museum
While in Honesdale, it pays to stop at the Wayne County Historical Society & Museum. Known as the birthplace of the American railroad, the Poconos has long ties to the train-era. Here a replica of The Stourbridge Lion, the country's first locomotive, is permanently on display.
The museum also features histories relevant to the region with displays like Native American artifacts and Dorflinger crystal. Events take place at historical locations off-site throughout the county as well. Stop by Wednesday through Saturday and select Sundays.
We only showcased eight museums, but there's so much more to see and learn! Be sure to visit our art galleries and performing & fine arts groups. Stay, play and eat while visiting our historic downtowns.
Check out these museums featured in our Pocono Mountains Magazine historical attractions segment for a bonus!

Sugar and spice and every little thing good: That's what femmes are made from.
Femmes, that's to say feminine-of-center LGBTQ people, are additionally made from energy, dedication and now, with the swearing-in of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), senatorial gravitas.
Sinema is the nation's first overtly bisexual senator and solely the second out LGBTQ senator. Mainstream media is fizzing, like a freshly popped bottle of prosecco, over Sinema's super-femmey swearing-in ensemble: a pearl-trimmed white sleeveless prime that featured her gloriously toned arms, and a floral-print wiggle skirt, a grey furry stole, glitter-dotted purse and 1950s movie noir waves in her hair. And to maintain her heat within the Washington chill? A pink overcoat. The look was Sen. Rita Skeeter. It was "Elle Woods Goes to Washington" meets "The Lady Can't Assist It" — a style flip that was unforgettable in its audacity.
This isn't the primary time Sinema's clothes has created a stir in politics. Earlier than this swearing-in slayage got here "Tutu-gate": Sinema's rival in her race for this Senate seat, Republican Martha McSally, ran a marketing campaign advert that referenced Sinema's option to attend an anti-war protest occasion in a pink tank prime and tulle skirt. "Whereas we had been in hurt's manner in uniform, Kyrsten Sinema was protesting us in a pink tutu and denigrating our service," McSally mentioned. "We want sturdy leaders who perceive the menace and respect our troops. Kyrsten Sinema fails the check." It was an try to make Sinema appear each unpatriotic and light-weight.
Queer model is available in many varieties, from Hannah Gadsby's professorial comfortable butch styling to Lena Waithe's full-on stud couture. Model is how we make ourselves identified, a manner of signaling to different members of the tribe, if you'll. Sinema's swearing-in look can finest be described as excessive femme: a hyperfeminine look with all the trimmings, like nails, hair and excessive heels. Assume Janelle Monáe on the Met Gala. That's excessive femme. That Sinema selected to point out up not simply in a femme look, however a excessive femme look is important.
Why does it matter? As a result of illustration issues. Visibility issues. Setting an instance and breaking obstacles matter. Sinema is sending a message: Girls in energy can cease denaturing themselves as a way to be taken significantly ― or to imagine much more energy. We don't have to resign ourselves to boxy fits, wise flats, or shellacked helmet hair to exhibit maturity and credibility. The outfit was like a dare: Dismiss me at your peril. Femmes are a drive of nature, and each time one exhibits out to let all people know, it issues.
From the baubles on the toes of her sneakers to the display siren set of her hair, Sinema's look was a subversive flaming arrow fired over the bow of the stodgy Beltway ship. The pink coat, with its nod again to the pink tutu imbroglio, and the uncovered biceps, a stark defiance of the Capitol Hill gown code that insists girls cowl up their arms, powered that arrow with a "fuck you" thrust. The outfit was composed of daring assertion items, and all the ensemble was itself a daring assertion: I'm right here, I'm a femme queer, get used to it.
In fact, the nattering nabobs of social media is likely to be aggravated that a lot consideration must be given to style: I can't consider you're speaking about her outfit. Let the girl do her job. However that's a part of Sinema's assertion: I can put on this outfit and do my job. Excess of males, girls in politics are scrutinized ― and criticized ― for his or her likability, their mannerisms, their private lives and, particularly, for his or her look. Allow us to not overlook that on the identical day Sinema was sworn in, The New York Occasions deleted what it known as a "poorly framed" tweet about Home Speaker Nancy Pelosi's gown. Which was, you guessed it, pink.
However the naysayers had been outnumbered by followers and stans, who remarked on the outfit with a mixture of admiration and wry humor. Tradition author Constance Grady praised Sinema's outfit as "weaponized femininity," which is about essentially the most economical definition of femme I've ever heard. One other journalist, Mary Emily O'Hara, described the look as "first-ever Mamie Van Doren cosplayer in congress." As a femme of lengthy standing, it meant so much to me to see a grown-ass woman's woman present up with swagger, absolutely in possession of her colleges and her style sense. It was a thrill to see Sinema seizing the gendered sartorial scrutiny and having a little bit of enjoyable with it, femme-style. I'd say she impressed me to order a pretend fur of my very own, however I already personal six.
For Sinema to emphasize her bisexuality, and her femme-ness, isn't just a matter of political expediency but additionally of posterity. As a result of bisexuality is so typically missed, discredited and erased, if it's not continually affirmed and referenced, it simply turns into out of sight, out of thoughts. When you're cis-femme, particularly, "heterosexual" sidles up because the default assumption. Sinema ― who's cisgender and femme and bi ― is declaring herself in phrase, in deed and in style.
Each femme strikes by means of the world understanding that every day she should smash by means of the false dichotomies of femininity vs. credibility, of fashion vs. substance. She has to step over the stereotypes and faulty assumptions about what a queer girl seems like. After which she has to, , get right down to her precise work. Sinema rose to that problem in an unforgettable manner. She did it guns-out. She did it in pink. She did it in enjoyable fur. She did it sporting sparkly sneakers and carrying a polka-dot purse. She did it. Viva la femme.

Adam Hunger/AP Images for National Football League
For Jamie-Lynn Sigler, 2016 has been a year unlike any other.
Shortly after marrying baseball star Cutter Dykstra in January, the Sopranos alum went public with her multiple sclerosis condition, a diagnosis she hid for 15 years. Since then, Sigler is still adjusting to living openly with M.S., a decision she recently told E! News hasn't always been easy.
"It's been liberating," the 35-year-old admitted during the NFL's "Rock Around the Rink" event Thursday in New York City. "You know, it's still a little bit of learning curve for me because I am so used to having to hide it. I'm so used to not asking for help if I need it or anything like that."
Sigler continued, "I sometimes have to remind myself, 'Oh, you don't need to be self-conscious any more, everyone knows and it's okay to ask for someone's arm if you need something.' I'm embracing it and I'm learning to ask for help, which is an important lesson, I think, for everyone."

The most marvellous region of Ukraine is the Carpathian Mountains. They have been attracting the writers, painters, scientists and common people, who are fond of healthy rest among the wild nature since ancient times. Not only Ukrainians from Lviv and other towns, but Russians, Poles, Germans came here with pleasure from second half of XIX century.
First three decades of XX century were the golden age of recreation and tourism in this region. Summer rest of the visitors in the houses of the residents became especially widespread. World War II and struggle of the totalitarian regimen with "unearned incomes" broke off that practice for a long period of time. Lately it is being revived in new forms of "agricultural", "green", "ecological" tourism.
The Carpathians have prospects to become the region of popular rest, improving from a health point of view and tourism of all European significance. Kosivshchyna is one of the most perspective in this in this respect part of the Carpathians.

Legends and characteristics of the plants
Mountain plants have always been associated with stories and legends, and are often the protagonists of stories that are to some extent made up, which tell of daily life and include the use of Alpine plant species. Since ancient times, man has been using these plants for food, as a cure for ailments and as perfume, dedicating stories and poetry to them along the way.
The legend of the Edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum)
There is a legend that tells of a young man who went into the mountains to gather herbs and hunt marmots and who did not return home. His wife grew more and more concerned as the days passed and went out to look for her husband. She found his lifeless body between two slabs of ice and, unable to reach him, stayed there grieving for her dead husband on a ledge overhanging the rock below for the whole day. When night came, the young woman did not move and continued to cry through the night, so much so that the next morning, her hair and eyelashes were covered in frost, like silvery down. She prayed to God, asking to be allowed to remain next to her beloved forever and watch over him from heaven, as she could not get close to him. Her wish was granted and she was transformed into the beautiful flower, Edelweiss, the symbol of the Alps. Tradition has it that the Edelweiss is a rare flower that grows in remote rocky mountain areas, making it a particular favourite of tourists. In reality, it grows mainly on Alpine slopes, above the forest line, and is quite common. The species is at risk of extinction due to indiscriminate picking.
The Gentian family
Many species belonging to the Gentian family can be found in the Alpine meadows and pastures. These extraordinarily beautiful flowering plants come in a variety of colours and are known and used mostly for their digestive properties. Gentiana lutea, commonly known as yellow Gentian, is undoubtedly one of the most effective digestive and fever-reducing plants. The bitter active ingredients of Gentian are useful for stimulating and balancing the secretion of gastric and bile juices which, when lacking, can cause illness, drowsiness, headaches and intestinal fermentation. It helps the body assimilate food and aids in the recovery of convalescent, weak and anaemic patients. The concentrated tisane or the diluted tincture are useful for normalising oily skin. Gentiana acaulis has similar properties, although in a less potent form. In the liqueurs sector, it is used in the production of spirits, tonics and digestives, Fernet, bitters and aperitifs. The electric blue flowers brighten up the meadows at the start of summer. In addition to the two plants already mentioned, there are also many other, less common, species of Gentian, such as Gentiana puntata and Gentiana purpurea. Unfortunately, although Gentians are plants which should be treated respectfully and admired without the selfish need to take them, they are being picked indiscriminately.

The developmentally regulated transcription factor AP-2 is involved in c-erbB-2 overexpression in human mammary carcinoma
Overexpression of the c-erbB-2/HER2 protooncogene in breast carcinoma is controlled not only by the degree of amplification of the gene but also at the level of gene transcription. Thus, whether or not the gene is amplified, the activity of the c-erbB-2 promoter is enhanced in overexpressing cells through the binding of an additional transcription factor, OB2-1, whose activity is increased in these lines. Here we describe further characterization of OB2-1 and show that it is identical to the developmentally regulated transcription factor AP-2. Functional assays confirm that AP-2 is able to regulate c-erbB-2 expression in mammary-derived cell lines. Furthermore, although AP-2 is barely detectable in cells with the low c-erbB-2 expression phenotype, protein levels are clearly elevated in a panel of c-erbB-2-overexpressing lines. These findings demonstrate an important role for this transcription factor in human cancer.

From the Pastor's Desk
The apostle Paul often wrote to the churches thanking God for their faithful work for the kingdom. In these letters, he often writes about how thankful he is to God for having the opportunity to serve with them in ministry. Today, I must admit, I truly understand that sense of thankfulness and appreciation. I feel it too. It is a blessing to be the pastor of a congregation with a heart for God's people, a congregation willing to give of themselves to share the love of Christ and a congregation who is not shy about the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
I have led many planning sessions in my 22 years of ministry and I have to say that you are by far the most active and responsive group of laity that I have ever had the privilege of working with. It was great to overhear the conversations at the tables as people wrestled with the vision and mission of the church. It was neat to see the diversity of opinions come together in Christian conferencing as we came to a general consensus on our plans for the year. God has already done so much great ministry among you and it was very exciting to see the new and exciting ministry ideas and initiatives that are emerging from our discussions.
Visioning and planning is never an end onto itself. It is not something we do once and forget about, but rather something we become immersed in as we seek to change the culture of our church in ministry. The way we become the people of God we are called to be in our community will greatly affect our outreach and evangelism efforts. With God's help, we will be a more diverse, Spirit-filled family growing all in Christ. However, it will not happen without us opening ourselves up to the possibilities of what God has in store for us. As we pursue and proclaim Christ to bring wholeness to lives and communities, we are being perfected in love and God is using us to bless others.
In conclusion, I have to say that I am excited about what God will do with us, for us, through us and in us in ministry. Our God is awesome, yet so much more, and I am convinced that with His help, our ministry will continue to be awesome as we build the kingdom of God together!

TeX Live 2019 in Debian
About one week ago we have released upstream TeX Live 2019, and after a few iterations fixing packaging bugs, the Debian experimental suite now has TeX Live packages based on 2019.
All the changes listed in the upstream release blog apply also to the Debian packages, but we have rebuilt binaries from the sources in current svn, which means there are several fixes for dvipdfmx, and updates to the ptex family of engines.
The currently available versions in experimental are
- src:texlive-bin 2019.20190507.51032-1
- src:texlive-base/lang/extra 2019.20190508-1
- src:context 2019.03.21.20190425-1
- src:coontext-modules 20190425-1
There are also updates to texworks and texinfo available in experimental.
As soon as buster is released and sid is open for updates again, these packages will be uploaded to unstable/sid.

Willow is a soft and sensitive potbellied pig, who hasn't always known that she was a pig. For years, she was in a home where, as an "only pig" she had the companionship of the family's dog. Sadly, that canine friend passed away, and Willow began to act out and become destructive, which resulted in her having to be rehomed.
When Willow arrived at the Sanctuary, she was a little confused and didn't know how to relate to other pigs. That may sound like a strange problem, but it's more common than one would expect. Pigs are incredibly social and flourish when they can share their life with piggy friends. But many people who purchase cute tiny little potbellied piglets balk at the thought of more than one of the trendy cuties.
Marshall's Piggy Paradise knows just how to deal with "only-pig syndrome." The good news is that with time and patience, Willow is remembering her piggy social skills and is making friends with the other residents.
Caregivers love this easy gal, and they know that someday soon, Willow will be adopted into a loving multi-piggy home of her own.

Maintenance of blood vessel integrity is crucial for vascular homeostasis and is mainly controlled at the level of endothelial cell (EC) junctions. Regulation of endothelial integrity has largely been investigated in the mature quiescent vasculature. Less is known about how integrity is maintained during vascular growth and remodeling involving extensive junctional reorganization. Here, we show that embryonic mesenteric blood vascular remodeling is associated with a transient loss of venous integrity and concomitant extravasation of red blood cells (RBCs), followed by their clearance by the developing lymphatic vessels. In wild-type mouse embryos, we observed activated platelets extending filopodia at sites of inter-EC gaps. In contrast, embryos lacking the activatory C-type lectin domain family 1, member b (CLEC1B) showed extravascular platelets and an excessive number of RBCs associated with and engulfed by the first lymphatic EC clusters that subsequently form lumenized blood-filled vessels connecting to the lymphatic system. These results uncover novel functions of platelets in maintaining venous integrity and lymphatic vessels in clearing extravascular RBCs during developmental remodeling of the mesenteric vasculature. They further provide insight into how vascular abnormalities characterized by blood-filled lymphatic vessels arise.
Understanding how the vascular systems are formed has significant clinical importance. General mechanisms underlying vascular development have been extensively studied during the past decades. However, the mechanisms regulating the development and function of the blood and lymphatic vessels in specific organs are poorly understood.
The aim of this thesis was to investigate lymphatic vascular development in the mesentery, which is a fold of peritoneum that attaches the intestine to the abdominal wall, and contains arteries, veins, lymphatic vessels, nerves and lymph nodes. We found that mesenteric lymphatic vessels were formed through lymphvasculogenesis - coalescence of isolated lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) clusters, rather than by lymphangiogenesis - sprouting from the veins or pre-existing lymphatic vessels. The lymphvasculogenic process was selectively sensitive to inhibition of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3)/ phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway. Using genetic lineage tracing, we uncovered that part of the mesenteric lymphatic vasculature was derived from cKit lineage cells likely originating from the blood-forming hemogenic endothelium of major arteries (Paper I). This is in contrast to the previously accepted dogma that all mammalian lymphatic vessels are of venous endothelial origin. By characterizing a mouse mutant lacking the non-venous-derived LEC progenitors we found that an alternative venous source of LECs could however compensate to build a functional mesenteric lymphatic vasculature (Paper IV). We further described in the developing mesentery that a transient loss of venous integrity, characterized by the formation of inter-endothelial cell gaps, was accompanied by extravasation of red blood cells, which were cleared by the developing lymphatic vessels. By studying mice with defective platelet function, we revealed a previously unappreciated role of platelets in maintaining the integrity of the remodeling embryonic blood vasculature and thus preventing excessive blood-filling of lymphatic vessels (Paper III). We also studied the mechanism of vessel maturation into functional lymphatic vessels, which involves smooth muscle cell recruitment. Analysis of mice with LEC-specific deletion of Pdgfb, encoding the platelet derived growth factor B (PDGFB), showed that LEC-autonomous PDGFB was required for the recruitment of smooth muscles cells that in turn control lymphatic vessel size and function (Paper II).

Why Fig Tree Does Not Bear Fruit
I have 3 Fig trees about 7 feet tall. They are about 15 to 20 years old. Two of the trees set lots of fruit (50 to 100). The third sets one to no figs a year. This tree is about 10 feet from one of the other trees. I have tried pruning back, feeding, extra water, etc. but nothing works. I have sandy soil. Do you have any suggestions?
I guess fig trees only produce fruit for ten to fifteen years. They continue to produce leaves, look healthy, etc., but their fruiting period is over.

Michael Schiavo, who moved heaven and earth for the right to kill his brain damaged wife, Terri, has started a Political Action Committee exclusively to target politicians who tried to stop him from dehydrating Terri to death. That is disgusting on so many levels, I can't even begin to elaborate. At least now everyone can see what kind of evil mind and black heart this chap has. For me, this isn't any different than Scott Peterson forming a PAC to go after death penalty supporters.

Michael Schiavo's PAC
Success in Iraq
I've been thinking lately about how odd it is that Democrats like Harry Reid and Howard Dean are going around talking about how success in Iraq is impossible — while Iraq is holding its third democratic election in the space of a year (one for a constitutional convention, one to approve a constitution, and once to elect the first regular government under that constitution). It reminds me of the adage that "The one who says something is impossible is usually interruped by someone doing it" — but they aren't hearing the interruptions, and they keep saying it's impossible. The alternative, of course, is that they don't view free elections in Iraq as part of "success." Is it really possible that the Democrats are against democracy? It sounds strange, but it seems more and more like that as time goes on.
James Taranto made the same point, only better:
Watching President Bush's political recovery on Iraq, one is tempted to think that this has all been part of a rope-a-dope strategy. In recent weeks Democrats have taken a host of outrageous positions on Iraq: John Kerry accuses our troops of "terrorizing kids and children." Howard Dean says victory is "just plain wrong." On Friday the House voted 279-109 in favor of a resolution "expressing the commitment of the House of Representatives to achieving victory in Iraq," which means that 108 Democrats and socialist Bernie Sanders are now on record opposing victory. (Fifty-nine Dems voted for victory, and 32 of them, along with two Republicans, voted "present.")
Most of the pro-surrender Dems — including last month's media darling, Jack Murtha — also voted against Murtha's proposal for immediate withdrawal, so it seems they want to turn tail and run, but not before taking some more casualties–a position they seem to have calibrated carefully with an eye toward completely discrediting themselves.
Meanwhile, Iraq held a successful election (or a "surprisingly successful election," as a New York Times news article calls it), and London's Daily Telegraph reports from Tal Afar, a Sunni area that was until recently a center of the terrorist insurgency, that "the approach of an American military convoy brings people out to wave and even clap."
The president last night addressed the nation, and he crystallized the issue:
We will continue to listen to honest criticism, and make every change that will help us complete the mission. Yet there is a difference between honest critics who recognize what is wrong, and defeatists who refuse to see that anything is right.
Defeatism may have its partisan uses, but it is not justified by the facts…
I also want to speak to those of you who did not support my decision to send troops to Iraq: I have heard your disagreement, and I know how deeply it is felt. Yet now there are only two options before our country–victory or defeat. And the need for victory is larger than any president or political party, because the security of our people is in the balance.
All of which places Democrats in an untenable position. Do they continue insisting on defeat, or do they flip-flop and embrace victory? Either way they look silly, though less so in the latter case.
Communist Science
If you are one of those people who thought Communism was not really a threat to democracy, and politicians just made up the cold war for their own purposes — or if you think science pursued without a profit motive is inherently better than science for profit, consider this, from The Scotsman:
The Soviet dictator Josef Stalin ordered the creation of Planet of the Apes-style warriors by crossing humans with apes, according to recently uncovered secret documents.
Moscow archives show that in the mid-1920s Russia's top animal breeding scientist, Ilya Ivanov, was ordered to turn his skills from horse and animal work to the quest for a super-warrior.
According to Moscow newspapers, Stalin told the scientist: "I want a new invincible human being, insensitive to pain, resistant and indifferent about the quality of food they eat."
In 1926 the Politburo in Moscow passed the request to the Academy of Science with the order to build a "living war machine." The order came at a time when the Soviet Union was embarked on a crusade to turn the world upside down, with social engineering seen as a partner to industrialisation: new cities, architecture, and a new egalitarian society were being created.
Mr Ivanov was highly regarded. He had established his reputation under the Tsar when in 1901 he established the world's first centre for the artificial insemination of racehorses.
Mr Ivanov's ideas were music to the ears of Soviet planners and in 1926 he was dispatched to West Africa with $200,000 to conduct his first experiment in impregnating chimpanzees.
Meanwhile, a centre for the experiments was set up in Georgia – Stalin's birthplace – for the apes to be raised.
Mr Ivanov's experiments, unsurprisingly from what we now know, were a total failure. He returned to the Soviet Union, only to see experiments in Georgia to use monkey sperm in human volunteers similarly fail.
A final attempt to persuade a Cuban heiress to lend some of her monkeys for further experiments reached American ears, with the New York Times reporting on the story, and she dropped the idea amid the uproar.
Mr Ivanov was now in disgrace. His were not the only experiments going wrong: the plan to collectivise farms ended in the 1932 famine in which at least four million died.
For his expensive failure, he was sentenced to five years' jail, which was later commuted to five years' exile in the Central Asian republic of Kazakhstan in 1931. A year later he died, reportedly after falling sick while standing on a freezing railway platform.
But at least they weren't in it for the money…. hah!
"Botax" update
Almost a year ago, I posted a story about how some states were considering taxing Botox injections and other cosmetic procedures.
My point at the time was that taxing something like that is not really a very good way to generate tax revenue, since anyone who can afford to get Botox can also afford not to get Botox. It's similar to the case in 1990 when Congress imposed a 10% tax on luxury yachts — and instead of raising money, they caused unemployment, when yacht sales dropped 90% and yacht-building workers were laid off.
Now, the Sacramento Bee is reporting that doctors and "patient advocates" in California are raising another issue:
More than three dozen consumers, businesses and health groups sent that message to the [California] Board of Equalization this month after the state agency raised the idea of a sales tax on the popular wrinkle treatment.
In letters to the Sacramento-based board, Californians argued that medicines like Botox should never be taxed because such a move might open the door to taxes on other drugs and even medical procedures.
"Even a healthy individual like me can see the problems inherent in looking to medicines as a way to raise sales tax revenue," wrote Kimberly Jenkins, a Woodland resident who said she is against a Botox tax.
"There's no guarantee that a person whose election depends on getting the budget under control is going to make sound decisions about what medicines to tax," added Jenkins.
(And how, exactly, is that different from taxes on anything else? )
That request came after state tax auditors started asking dermatologists why they hadn't charged sales tax on Botox treatments for cosmetic purposes since 2002, the year the substance was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for cosmetic treatments.
Doctors argued that prescription medicines were exempt from sales tax, but auditors pointed to state regulations specifying that the exemption applies only if medicines are used to treat "disease," not to erase wrinkles for cosmetic purposes.
A lobbyist for the physicians raised concerns about tax auditors peering at confidential patient files, asking what expertise the auditors had to decide which treatment was cosmetic and which was medical.
"I don't believe legislators are better able than doctors to decide which prescription medicines are necessary," Villarreal wrote. "We Californians are already paying very high taxes, and certainly some of the most expensive health care costs in the country."
(If that last argument is right, what business do legislators have telling us which medicines are legal? How do they know that, say, Vioxx is too dangerous but Celebrex isn't? What, because they created an FDA run by doctors and scientists? Well, they also created a Board of Equalization which, in theory, can hire whatever experts they want.)
Sales of the drug have exploded and have come close to hitting $1 billion a year since the FDA authorized its use for cosmetic treatments three years ago. While that could make a nice tax revenue generator for the Golden State, it also could affect sales of the product.
(A rare correct use of economics in a news story! Though it would have been nice to explain it so people without a college course in economics would know why it could affect sales of the product. I bet a lot of this reporter's colleagues don't know!)

A political scientist and an economist, Tim Groseclose of UCLA and Jeffrey Milyo of the University of Missouri have found a way to quantify bias in the media.
Groseclose and Milyo based their research on a standard gauge of a lawmaker's support for liberal causes. Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) tracks the percentage of times that each lawmaker votes on the liberal side of an issue. Based on these votes, the ADA assigns a numerical score to each lawmaker, where "100″ is the most liberal and "0″ is the most conservative. After adjustments to compensate for disproportionate representation that the Senate gives to low‑population states and the lack of representation for the District of Columbia, the average ADA score in Congress (50.1) was assumed to represent the political position of the average U.S. voter.
Groseclose and Milyo then directed 21 research assistants — most of them college students — to scour U.S. media coverage of the past 10 years. They tallied the number of times each media outlet referred to think tanks and policy groups, such as the left-leaning NAACP or the right-leaning Heritage Foundation.
Next, they did the same exercise with speeches of U.S. lawmakers. If a media outlet displayed a citation pattern similar to that of a lawmaker, then Groseclose and Milyo's method assigned both a similar ADA score.
Of the 20 major media outlets studied, 18 scored left of center, with CBS' "Evening News," The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times ranking second, third and fourth most liberal behind the news pages of The Wall Street Journal.
Only Fox News' "Special Report With Brit Hume" and The Washington Times scored right of the average U.S. voter.
An additional feature of the study shows how each outlet compares in political orientation with actual lawmakers. The news pages of The Wall Street Journal scored a little to the left of the average American Democrat, as determined by the average ADA score of all Democrats in Congress (85 versus 84). With scores in the mid-70s, CBS' "Evening News" and The New York Times looked similar to Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., who has an ADA score of 74.
The full paper is available here and here; it is forthcoming in the Quarterly Journal of Economics.
Bar Mitzvah Extravagance
In case you happened to read this article in the Washington Post, please note that this is NOT what a bar mitzvah is supposed to be like, let alone what it's supposed to be about.
Some very brief excerpts:
For a girl named Lexy, [event planner Pat] James devised what he called a "Lex and the City" theme, for which he rented a pink couch that was an actual prop in the similarly named HBO show.
Hundreds of New York bar mitzvahs cost $100,000 or more. Many top the quarter-million-dollar mark. If you're ready to spend that sort of money on a five-hour shindig for an eighth-grader, Pat James is the man to see.
His go-to move is something called a "fantasy video," which plays on TV screens right before The Moment arrives. Most of them are filmed and edited weeks in advance, by professionals whom James hires.
"We had this one kid who was really into the Yankees and we sent him to Tampa, where the Yankees were in spring training," he says. "And we filmed him in a Yankees uniform, around the park, pretending to play with the team. We even had a couple Yankees say, 'Happy bar mitzvah,' I think. Then you saw him waking up in his bed, realizing it was all a dream. And he looks at his clock and sees that he's late for his bar mitzvah party."
Her first daughter, Amanda, was bat mitzvahed a few weeks ago, and during the cab ride she and James leafed through a scrapbook with photos of the event. The room, you can see, was festooned with poster-size, glamorous photos of Amanda, who looks like a model. You can't tell from the photos, but Stoopler says a performer from Cirque du Soleil was there all night, hanging and twisting from a silk rope attached to the ceiling.
The phrase we used to use to mock extravagant bar mitzvahs ("Too much 'bar' and not enough mitzvah.") doesn't even begin to describe the monstrosities described in that article. Last weekend, I was actually at a bat mitzvah in that vein, if not quite at the same level of extravagance (no one was actually hanging from the ceiling), but in just as poor taste.
If you are not Jewish (or even more, if you are) and you get invited to one of these, please — please! — don't think that that's what Judaism is about! Judaism is about having a special relationship with God through, among other things, living according to the commandments (Hebrew singular: "mitzvah") of the Torah. To become a bar or bat mitzvah means to achieve the age of religious adulthood; that is, to be old enough to be obligated to obey those commandments. (Obviously, a two-year-old can't be expected to have those obligations, and a 50-year-old can. The age of bar or bat mitzvah is the cut-off, kind of like turning 18 and getting the right to vote.) Since we consider the Torah and its commandments to be a gift from God, it is appropriate to celebrate the occasion of entering into that obligation. But it is most certainly not appropriate to engage in a display of extravagance for its own sake — not to mention by engaging in activities that violate the commands that have just — in theory — been taken on. For example, at this one I attended last weekend, they served non-kosher food, and had the hired dance coaches (what do they call that job?) dancing in an erotic fashion with persons not their spouses — i.e., parents of the girl whose "bat mitzvah" this was.
In other words, they celebrated her taking on the commandments by violating a bunch of them!
Along, of course, with a brief interlude of seriousness in which the girl's father spoke about his daughter's new responsibility and how proud he was that she was taking it on, and that she "knows what it entails." Sadly, she didn't and he didn't.
In a certain sense, it's not completely their fault, since they live in a social circle in which everyone does this sort of thing, and they probably don't know any better. But just the same, it's sad — and embarrassing.
AFTERTHOUGHT (12/22/05): Perhaps this is to Judaism what the commercialization of Christmas is to Christianity.
UPDATE (1/1/06): Batya Medad shows us how it can be completely different (via Havel Havelim).
Soldiers' Conduct

Odd Banknote Honorees
Switzerland may soon have banknotes honoring the AIDS virus (intentionally) and the role of the Swiss banking system in propping up dictators (inadvertently — we hope).
Liberals Against Values?
Every once in a while, someone "veers into the truth" and says something themselves that I've been thinking about them and that makes them look really bad. Liberal critic Harold Bloom of Yale writes in the Guardian:
Politics, in the United States, perhaps never again can be separated from religion. When so many vote against their own palpable economic interests, and choose "values" instead, then an American malaise has replaced the American dream.
One of the assumptions that Bloom and other Democrats make I at least understand–the left believes that material possessions should matter more to the masses than values. They seem to think that if the masses were given the choice of an extra $20,000 a year in income, or recognizing gay marriage, well of course they should pick the money. It simply does not occur to the left that much of the population of this country considers morality sufficiently important that they will not abandon their religious beliefs for filthy lucre.
Would the left be insulted if we suggested that for enough money, they rationally should abandon their demand that the states recognize gay marriage? Of course. So why are they perplexed and confused that the majority isn't prepared to put money over values? Is this simply an elitist contempt for the masses?
He also points out that it's far from obvious that voting Republican is against the economic interests of most people. But that's a separate issue. The interesting thing is that, 25 years after liberals mocked Reagan voters as "voting for their pocketbooks" instead of the good of the country, it seems to be a basic principle of liberalism that it's immoral to vote based on anything other than one's pocketbook!

Well that's it then, four months of journalism training has come to an end. Better find a job I suppose.
I'm not normally one for blogging, but I know that when I was thinking about doing Brighton Journalist Works' NCTJ Diploma in Journalism I read a few accounts from past students that helped me make my mind up. So I'm paying it forward.
First off, I would emphatically say do it. I should have done it a lot sooner than I did. If you want to be a journalist but do not have an NCTJ qualification, it is going to be tough getting started. Unless, as one poster on our course notice board said, your surname is Coren.
Having the NCTJ diploma proves that you have an understanding of how to research, construct and write a news story. It proves that you can make sure it is legally safe. It might even prove that you know your en dash from your em dash. Actually, it tells a potential employer a lot of things about you, things that I had not even considered before I began in January.
So what did I want to know before I started? Well, the idea of trying to learn shorthand to a level of 100 words-per-minute in four months scared the bejesus out of me before the course began. But it's possible. You have to practice every day but it is possible. I now have a mildly deformed middle right-hand finger from practising so much.
You'll probably have to sacrifice having a busy social life for a few months too. Sure there are some people who can revise for a Media Law exam while hungover or sleep deprived but I'm not one of them. This isn't to say you can't go out and enjoy everything Brighton has to offer, but bear in mind this is a Monday to Friday, 9-5 course and you have work to do at weekends too.
That said, the 'accelerated' 4-month design of the course was one of its most appealing elements to me. I didn't have much in savings and so couldn't afford to be a student again for too long. So it won hands down on that basis compared to the MA in Journalism offered by City University in London, for which I would have had to sell most of my internal organs and at least one of my arms.
Shorthand, Reporting, Media Law & Court Reporting, Production and Essential Public Affairs are the five modules, and each is very different which keeps your weekly schedule varied. I can honestly say I enjoyed them all, even when we did local government finance in Public Affairs.
The teachers on the course are all experts in their field and there are regular guest speakers and guest tutors. We had the Fleet Street Fox come in to talk to us, about a week before she revealed her real identity. Who knew Johann Hari had donned a wig and a dress to reinvent himself after his journalistic downfall?*
(*This might not be true)
What you learn in the class lessons is reinforced with some eye-opening field trips, such as our outing to Lewes Crown Court, or to an inquest hearing in Worthing.
While on the course, you are given a patch of Brighton to report on for The Argus, whose offices are in the same building as Brighton Journalist Works. That story could then end up in The Argus newspaper, or on the Argus website, where the mentally unhinged can comment on it and blame all the ills of the world on the local Green Party council.
I guess the real litmus-test of whether the last four months of my life have been well-spent will be whether I now get the kind of job I want. But even if that takes longer than expected, the NCTJ-accreditation is something that is now going to be with me for the rest of my life. So in the long-term, I feel the last four months were spent in exactly the right way. In the short-term, if anyone spots a job as an international film journalist and restaurant critic, then give me a shout will you?

Learning Latent Subspaces in Variational Autoencoders
Part of: Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 31 (NIPS 2018)[PDF] [BibTeX] [Supplemental] [Reviews]
Conference Event Type: Poster
Variational autoencoders (VAEs) are widely used deep generative models capable of learning unsupervised latent representations of data. Such representations are often difficult to interpret or control. We consider the problem of unsupervised learning of features correlated to specific labels in a dataset. We propose a VAE-based generative model which we show is capable of extracting features correlated to binary labels in the data and structuring it in a latent subspace which is easy to interpret. Our model, the Conditional Subspace VAE (CSVAE), uses mutual information minimization to learn a low-dimensional latent subspace associated with each label that can easily be inspected and independently manipulated. We demonstrate the utility of the learned representations for attribute manipulation tasks on both the Toronto Face and CelebA datasets.

November 20th, 2010
Tonight, I went to the men's Glee Club performance. They did an outstanding job and I don't think that anyone was disappointed. I particularly enjoyed the Friars.
Afterward, I spent the evening working on my 280 project. My desk is now a disaster - that picture will come tomorrow though. I have completed a decent portion of it and finished the first season of Dexter. With any luck I'll be close to done by Tuesday night so that when I get home on Wednesday I won't have to think about it.
But, for now, sleep. Goodnight, World.

Food + Recipes
Vegan Marshmallow Sundae Bar
When its too chilly for ice cream, enjoy your gooey hot fudge sundae in chocolate-bar form.
Back in ye olde days (the mid-'90s), there were some things that were majorly elusive in delicious vegan form—namely marshmallows and ice cream sundaes (two of the best things in life). Thankfully, the void has been filled at this point, and now the wizards of vegan deliciousness are all about taking it to the next level. When we got our hands (and teeth) on Chip 'n Dipped's Marshmallow Sundae Bar, we were wowed by its clever combination of the two aforementioned elements with rich dark chocolate, all in one purse-friendly, snack-ready configuration. We don't know what's next in the world of vegan candy, but if this is its direction, we couldn't be more ready.

The water here is so pure and blue that its pristine. We were heading out on day three when we passed by the lake on our way to a place called Hell Hole which instead led us up near the Forestdale Divide region.
