Disraeli Gears + Friends; Nation of Shopkeepers, 22/1/14
There is that ancient thought experiment: If a band doesn't have a SoundCloud or Bandcamp page, does it still make a sound? I riddle myself this as four-piece Engine take to the stage to open the evening, without so much as a Twitter page to prove their existence. Their music is noisy, but psychedelic too, with a superficial resemblance to Peace, perhaps. I overhear someone in the crowd say that this is one of Engine's first gigs together as a band. Despite not having quite found their sound, they are definitely making one, and so the answer to the question is yes, and there's something quite exciting about watching a band you know can't be relived through MP3 later. I strain to fully commit to memory their fiddly bass parts, fast-paced drums and soaring chorus of 'I must be getting old'.
Engine are followed by Death Rattle – dark electro perfectly set against Nation of Shopkeepers' stage. One half is suited, chiseled and bearded like a Faustian drummer, and the other is dressed in black, with an eclipsing stare that she manages to hold with each member of the audience for an uncomfortably long time. Well-placed floor lights cast amplified shadows of the pair on to the red velvet stage curtain behind, like a bewitching, distorted puppet show.
Much like the shadows, their music feels a little elusive, a little distant, like if you reached out to grab it, it wouldn't actually be there. Perhaps it's a different, more confrontational performance when there's a real drum kit, as opposed to the mostly electric one they use tonight, but in this intimate setting, it works well. It's perfect gloom pop, with elements of Purity Ring, but tighter, more industrial. Death Rattle are certainly the ones casting the spell, not being cast upon.
Leeds four-piece Disraeli Gears take to the stage, in front of a full room. They open with "Back of my Eyes" and the crowd immediately manages to take the brooding, middle-child sulkiness of their songs and turn it in to a chant. Considering the band have yet to release so much as an EP, it's testament to Leeds' thriving music scene, artists and spectators alike.
Disraeli Gears sing songs about admitting to your mother that you sold your lungs ('who needs breathing anyway?') and about undressing by taking the skin from your bones. It's vulnerable but potent too. Lead singer Teia Fregona has an astonishing control over the volume of her own voice; one line of a song can oscillate several times between a wail and a whisper. It becomes quite hypnotic, broken only when she pauses to allow the guitars to crash down around her.
Surprised by the crowd's demand for an encore, they finished with "Skeleton" and admit that they've now played their entire catalogue of songs. Nonetheless, they debuted a new song earlier, so one can only hope an EP or album lies in the not to distant future. The crowd tonight has certainly proved it'd be in demand.

Natural deodorants are popping up everywhere; specifically 'cream' styles. I like to use a stick style, but I'm open to options and I keep my eye on them. Routine Cream (made in Canada in beautiful little jars)...and Black Chicken 'Axilla' from Australia. I haven't tried any, but they totally inspire me to to diy them (especially after seeing their super simple ingredients list).
After after 4 versions, I got one I liked....a lot. Here's how it went down.
Version 1: Very greasy. Not good.
Version 2: Too dry. Attempting to compensate for version #1, the cream just crumpled out of my pits and onto the floor.
Version 3: Better.....
Version 4: Best. Nice texture, goes on easily while still having enough of the dry ingredients to do their thing.
Natural deodorant cream recipe
Yield: 100 grams
p.s. please get a scale if you don't have one....they are inexpensive and you'll use it constantly if you diy these kinds of things
Oily stuff
15 grams coconut oil
4 grams beeswax
3 grams shea butter
3 grams cocoa butter
5 grams sweet almond oil (or can use grapeseed, olive or jojoba)
Dry stuff
35 grams baking soda
15 grams arrowroot powder
10 grams corn starch
10 grams kaolin clay
- 0-10 drops essential oil (depending on your smell preference. Avoid peppermint and other strong/irritating oils as they can sting. Vetiver is nice. For me, lemongrass or lime and vanilla.
- 2 drops grapefruit seed extract (optional-but has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties).
1. gently heat (just enough to liquify) oily ingredients in a saucepan.
2. measure dry ingredients in another bowl.
3. add gently heated oils to dry ingredients.
3. mix.
4. add optional essential oils and optional grapefruit seed extract.
5. store in a small container with a lid.
6. to use, scoop out a pea-size amount with your finger and massage into skin.
Enjoy it very much.
Update: I've noticed this gets a little 'firm' in the winter months (more like rock solid) if you live somewhere chilly, like me. If you anticipate this, instead of a little pot, try putting this into a stick deodorant container (I reuse an old one) or try adding a little more almond oil when you first make it and it will stay softer even in the cold...but not too much or it will be greasy.

The Trump Campaign: A Pre-Mortem
by Jon Harrison | Posted July 23, 2016
The Trump campaign went into the Republican convention virtually tied with Hillary Clinton in most national polls. Whether the show in Cleveland helped or hurt Trump will be known in coming days, but poll numbers in July mean nothing for November. And in November Trump will go down, possibly in a landslide.
To this point Trump has shown an almost magical ability to overcome obstacles (many of them self-generated) that would have destroyed any other candidate for the presidency. On the road to Cleveland he vanquished no fewer than 16 rivals, including some of the biggest names in the GOP. Yet it seems clear that he has no more chance of stopping Hillary than Merlin had of stopping King Arthur's marriage to Guinevere.
Statistics don't lie when it comes to presidential politics. Demography is destiny. In 2012 Mitt Romney won 59% of the total white vote, and 62% of white males, yet was easily beaten by Barack Obama. The white portion of the electorate is continually shrinking; there just aren't enough whites who support Trump to put him over the top. And the shrinking white vote is bad news for future Republican candidates as well.
Trump has no more chance of stopping Hillary than Merlin had of stopping King Arthur's marriage to Guinevere.
George W. Bush barely won the presidency twice (or should I say once?) while taking about 40% of the Hispanic vote. Romney won 27% of Hispanic voters. Trump currently has the support of 13% of likely Hispanic voters. Contrary to popular belief, Hispanics are not all that important in deciding elections, because so many of them live in noncompetitive states like California, Texas, and New York. But about 15% of Florida's voters are Hispanic, and Trump must carry Florida if he is to have any chance of winning the election.
Trump has virtually no support among African-American voters, even by modern Republican standards. The 18 black delegates who attended the Cleveland convention will probably vote for him in November, but whether he can find another 18 African-Americans to do so is unclear. True, African-Americans have voted Democratic by large margins for decades, but it appears possible that Trump will get even fewer black votes than either of the two Republican candidates who ran against Barack Obama.
Among women voters, Trump currently trails Clinton by 15 points. Trump will win the male vote, but he must do considerably better among women in order to have a chance of beating Clinton. This analyst doesn't see him closing that gender gap.
Conservatives are by no means united behind Trump. Economic conservatives in the Paul Ryan mold clearly have their doubts, as do many social conservatives. The selection of Mike Pence as the VP nominee (reportedly not Trump's first choice) does something to unify conservatives behind the ticket, but clearly there are many people on the right who will stay home, or write in a name, or vote Libertarian.
The white portion of the electorate is continually shrinking; there just aren't enough whites who support Trump to put him over the top.
Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson is currently at around 8–10% in the polls. He's hoping to reach the 15% threshold and make it onto the debate stage with Trump and the Dragon Lady. That would be fun, but don't hold your breath, Liberty readers. Johnson is peaking now. In November the LP will likely about double its 2012 vote — which will give it a 2% slice of the pie. It amounts to doubling down on irrelevance.
Meanwhile the Left will unite around the Democratic candidate, partly because Bernie will urge his followers to do so, and partly out of pure loathing for Trump. Some no doubt will go Green despite the Sanders endorsement, but the numbers will not affect the outcome. A repeat of 2000 is not in the cards.
It's simply a fact, Trumpites. Your guy is going to lose on November 8.
* * *
An element of tragedy hangs over the Trump campaign. Tragedy in this sense: Trump alone has highlighted real problems that no other national political figure really wants to confront — problems such as the failure to control our southern border, and the corrosive effect of political correctness on discourse and thought. But his "solutions" are confabulations in every sense of that word. His buccaneering style is going to lead to defeat in November, which in turn means that these important issues will probably never be dealt with in a constructive way.
There is tragedy also in the fact that Trump's candidacy ensures the election of Hillary. A Clinton presidency means at least four years of left-wing nonsense on the domestic front, combined with a neocon-like foreign policy — the worst of both worlds. Be prepared for your teenage sons and daughters to become unemployable once the $15 per hour minimum wage is enacted. Be prepared for more debt, more regulation, and more speech codes constricting public debate. Be prepared for the possibility of war in Syria or even eastern Europe.
Trump alone has highlighted real problems that no other national political figure really wants to confront. But his "solutions" are confabulations in every sense of that word.
2016 almost seems like a rerun of 1972, with Clinton in the Nixon role. Her time in office ought to end the same way Nixon's did (i.e., by forced resignation), but the elite media will refuse to participate in arranging her downfall, thereby ensuring her political survival and — who knows? — perhaps her reelection to a second term as well.
Welcome to the future. The last best hope of man on earth has become a circus, a farce.

Dear Jon,
I agree that no reasonable person will vote for Trump, but I also thought that it was a snowball's chance in hell that he would win the Republican primary. Before the Democratic convention started, Fox News interviewed a protestor in a wheelchair who summarized the problem with the election well. He said, "Both sides are giving us a liar to vote for." Hillary is a totalitarian who wants the world to be united in great cooperation under her rule. Marco Rubio had the best summary of Trump as a con-man. I guess that just like there are fools who gave large amounts of money to Trump on the promise that he'll teach them how to get wealthy working the real estate market, there are dipshits who think that by voting for him, he will "make America great again." Of course that sales pitch used by Donald Trump should be pointed out to be completely meaningless by Stephen Cox. The first question that should be asked in response is, "Great in what?" Great is a pro-adjective which needs a more descriptive noun or adjective after it. You can be greatly assisted or greatly hindered both are great, but they are at opposite ends of the favorable perspective. Worse would be if by great alone, Donald means great in all ways. If that's what he means, then he is too full of himself. But it sounds good, so that's what makes it good for getting fools to buy your snake oil.
This good sales pitch principle is the embodiment of the strategy used by the Democrats. There is a free movie out right now on Breitbart.com, Clinton Cash, which presents good cases of how all of the good sounding things that Bill and Hillary have said were actually how they got fools to give them money, and how they covered for the scumbags they were actually helping. The part about Haiti shows a recent scam which hasn't done a thing for the poor, downtrodden Haitians who were the pawns in the sales pitch.
This is why I'm going to vote for Gary Johnson and Bill Weld. I have to admit that there have been times when I've seen Gary Johnson interviewed and he won't clearly answer questions. This does stand my hair on end and I say to myself that he's a spineless liar who avoids answers because then he has no terms of agreement to hold him to, but, his written platform on his website is good and indicates that he will stand strong for liberty. Since unlike Hillary and Donald, he doesn't have cases of scam, that I know of, which I can hold against him, I will give him the rope that he can hang me with; like a fool.
As Jim Morrison said, "This is the end. duh,duh,duh Beautiful friend, the end." And no, I won't quote the opening song for MASH as advice for how to cure your problems.
Best Wishes,
Wed, 2016-07-27 01:45

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment. Thoughtful comments are always appreciated.
I don't condemn anyone who decides to vote for Johnson and my former governor Bill Weld. I just don't think the LP ticket will get more than 2% of the vote. I've always maintained that the LP should become an organization that pushes issues, ballot initiatives, backs particular candidates based on those candidates' views, etc., rather than pretending to be a party that has a real chance of winning office. But that's just my opinion.

Dear Jon,
I understand that the LP is limited in power. However, I also know that quitters never win, and yeah, I know that standing firm can be analogous to screaming under the water of propaganda in that you drown. I say that it is better to drown standing for your convictions than to think that one of the two main-party candidates is close enough for government work and to vote for them. You do have a good point that the LP should focus on small steps, pushing issues and ballot initiatives. The problem is that when you are self-limiting, it isn't far from being self-defeating (I know, here I'm saying that close is equivalent).

The Womb (and Immigration) are Destiny.
The Democrats have imported a whole new state in California (from 16 million in 1960 to 39 million currently.) With the Open Primary system, the Republican party will be extinct in California after this election.
Hillary will import a whole New Country from 2017 to 2000. By 2020, the national Republican party will in all essentials be extinct.

Flight riot's website is a good compilation of much of the activity surrounding UAV photogrammetry, and brings together many of the central themes surrounding what I'm interested in. Tutorials on things like the Canon Hack Development Kit (here) and discussion on Optimal Orientations for image capture (here) are pretty impressive as it's linking sections of different communities and collating the (somewhat) technical information into one place, which is an exciting prospect. Further tutorials into actually structure-from-motion photogrammetry including workflows using both VisualSfM and Meshlab make this site a great resource for the budding photogrammetrist. I think I'll be contributing to this community at some stage in the near future, and will be keeping a keen eye on their activities.
They also have an association with conservation drones, a group I'm also quite interested in who are using low-cost drones to do biodiversity surveys in tropical regions.Having briefly spoken to them about their work and future plans, I'm quite excited about the potential for cheap and cheerful drones to contribute positively to proper land management and surveying in developing countries.
Check out their websites!

Children of Armenia: A Forgotten Genocide and the Century-Long Struggle for Justice by Michael Bobelian
I am not sure about your education, but mine never covered the Armenian genocide, which is something that I find unfortunate. I had heard of the Armenian genocide before I read this book, but knew nothing of its details, except the genocide was carried out by the Ottoman Empire. In fact, I knew practically nothing of Armenia except its location on a world map. Thus, I had braced myself for a difficult read with foreign names when I bought Michael Bobelian's Children of Armenia. I could not have been more wrong.
I was very impressed by this book. By the first chapter, I forgot that I was reading a non-fiction book. It reads like a thriller, containing so many of the aspects which are indeed the subject of modern-day thriller films: international diplomacy, regional politics, and terrorism. Despite these aspects, Children of Armenia never loses its sense of humanity and never lightens its intense subject matter of genocide. Bobelian is himself of Armenian descent and is the grandson of Armenian genocide survivors. The book also appears to be extremely well-researched, with extensive notes and a wide index.
Perhaps the most interesting aspects of the Armenian genocide are the events which occurred after the genocide. Despite promises from many key politicians and the newly-formed League of Nations following World War I, the Armenians found themselves without aid and without support. Despite a strong interest in the United States to provide justice for the Armenians, this justice was quickly lost to geo-political interests following World War II. Armenia fell under the Soviet Union's sphere of influence, and Turkey was considered to be a strong and strategic ally.
Thus, we see how the Armenian genocide fell into relative obscurity, forgotten by many of the world's key players. I feel as if this genocide and this book deserve our attention, as we discuss genocide. It provides an excellent example of how we should not react to genocide. Moreover, it encourages us to actively engage in the international discourse, in order to ensure that our reactions to future conflicts are different from this reaction.
Please feel free to comment on the topics I mentioned, or note something interesting from the book. I look forward to hearing your opinions!

Howdy humans,
The new Supporters plug-in really is outstanding! Thanks for the great work.
I'm wondering if you could add the amazon payment features to the Upgrades plug-in?
Also, like several other posts I've read on here, I too need a multi-plug-in/ multilevel solution. I've read Dr. Mike's and others' pointers and I've been playing with the Upgrades plugin all weekend with a low level of success.
Unfortunately I'm finding the support documentation on the Upgrades plugin is very thin and so widely dispersed across multiple forum threads that I spend more time searching for than actually working. I'm wondering:
Would it be possible to create a sticky with all the various tips and edits in one spot?
Could we see some screenshots? Sometimes I see that different posts are using different terminology to describe the same things, which makes it hard for the slower types (me) to follow.
Finally, I'm wondering if we might be able to set-up an exchange where we could trade upgrade "Premium-ized" plug-ins that others have already editted rather than each of us have to re-invent the wheel?
Thanks to all.

Highly accurate movement
Master and support gripper
By utilizing two measuring grippers the plate always moves highly accurate through the system. The master gripper on the back secures the plate with three rigid clamps, while the support gripper at the datum line secures the plate with two rigid clamps. Because the support gripper moves independently from the master gripper the whole plate length is covered. The support gripper is always close to the processed area and allows the Voortman V320 to process flat bars as well. Processing full plate nestings or short plates is no problem because the support gripper is retractable, this means as much material as possible can be processed.
Helical rack and pinion and high precision linear guidance
The movement of the master and support grippers is servo driven with a helical rack and pinion transmission with minimum backlash. A high precision linear guidance moves the trucks in the length direction of the plate for highly accurate cutting and drilling results.
Precise drill and torch movement
The torch and drill modules are both positioned by servo driven ball screws over the width of the machine to ensure precise cutting and drilling.

Islamic philosophy in the classical period emerged from the late antique Neoplatonic consensus that confined philosophical authority to Aristotle and Plato and sought to reconcile their methods and doctrines. The review below engages with new insights on the formation of this tradition of rconciliation and addresses my interest in ancient and late antique philosophy and their Islamic calques.
Here is my review of a revised Oxford DPhil by George E. Karamanolis, Plato and Aristotle in Agreement? Platonists on Aristotle From Antiochus to Porphyry (
The Neoplatonic project in Late Antiquity was defined by the attempt to harmonize the teachings and philosophy of Plato and Aristotle. Inherited by early Muslim philosophers, harmonization was enthusiastically championed by al-Farabi in his Reconciliation of the Opinions of the Two Philosophers. (Neo)Platonic pseudo-epigraphica attributed to Aristotle such as the famous Theology of Aristotle further bolstered the harmonizing tendency that was carried through into Latin scholasticism. The modern academic study of ancient and late antique philosophy on the other hand has tended to be somewhat hostile to harmonization and assumed that it rested purely on historical accidents and mistakes. More recently, however, the interest in Neoplatonism has led to a reconsideration of the question of harmonization. Lloyd Gerson, one of the foremost champions and specialists on Neoplatonism has argued in a recent book Aristotle and Other Platonists (Cornell University Press, 2005) that the project of harmonization actually began with Aristotle who himself was a Platonist. The Middle Platonist and Neoplatonist thinkers who often wrote commentaries on Aristotle were not misguided. Karamanolis's book, a revised version of his Oxford D.Phil, continues this tendency by considering the evidence in the thought of a number of Middle Platonists such as Antiochus of Ascalon (d. c. 68 BCE), Plutarch of Chaeronea (d. c. 125), Ammonius Saccas (3rd century, Plotinus' teacher), Numenius (2nd century), and Atticus (2nd century), and Neoplatonists such as Porphyry (d. c. 305 C.E.) and Plotinus (d. 270) for and against harmonization. It is a useful companion piece that corroborates much of Gerson's argument. The problem, however, is that often for many Middle Platonists, there is scant textual evidence to consider.
Karamanolis' book is divided into seven chapters, one each on thinkers from Antiochus to Porphyry. The longest and most significant chapter in the study, unsurprising given the extensive textual evidence and significance of the figure articulated for example in the Eisagoge and in the commentary on the Categories, is on Porphyry. As he argues, extant commentaries on Aristotle after 300 are all Platonist (p. 1). The systematic writing on commentaries on the Stagirite is thus seen as evidence for the project of harmonization. The role of the works of Aristotle in the Neoplatonic curriculum confirms the view that he was seen as part of the Platonic school. What is more interesting, although it does not play a significant role in the argument, is the Peripatetic agreement on harmony; thinkers such as Aristocles of Messene were harmonists (pp. 36ff). But it seems that whereas later Platonists tended to see the study of Aristotle, particularly of the organon as a propaedeutic to the study of the 'higher wisdom' of Plato, Peripatetics reversed the order of study. Of course, all this begs the question: what does one understand by Platonism? Was it a coherent school? Could Aristotle have been a Platonist without adhering to the theory of Forms, for example? Did Plato and Aristotle both adhere to a coherent and systematic philosophy? For example, can the Platonic dialogues as a whole be considered as a corpus proposing a philosophical system? Platonists tended to read Plato's dialogues as articulations of theory; Karamanolis, on the other hand, argues that, 'Plato's thought is elusive, if one confines oneself to the dialogues, since they do not offer us direct expressions of his views' (p. 9).
Antiochus was the first important harmonizer. He was a pivotal figure for two reasons; as Karamanolis says, he was the last Platonist to continue the Hellenistic concern with ethics in particular, but also the first to insist upon the value of Aristotle as a means for accessing Plato. Antiochus' project of harmonization is even more wide ranging because he considered the Stoic tradition to be broadly Platonic (p. 51ff).
The chapter on Plutarch shifts the interest to metaphysics. Plutarch's emphasis on the aporetic nature of Plato's philosophy was linked to elements of skepticism in Aristotelian dialectic. He considered Aristotle to be a communicator of Plato's ideas. For example, Aristotelian hylomorphism proposes that knowledge pertains to forms, which at one level may be associated with Platonic forms; whether those forms are transcendent or not is a different matter that would not violate Platonism. Generations of philosophy students have wondered how Aristotle's universals really differ from Platonic forms.
Three fairly short chapters follow on Numenius, Atticus and Ammonius Sacca, no doubt mainly because we know so little about them; very little has survived. The latter is important particularly as the teacher of Plotinus and seems to have been famous as an 'arch-harmonizer'. This does not really put him at odds with Plotinus. The chapter that follows on Plotinus seems somewhat conflicted between the Peripatetic influence and material in the Enneads and Plotinus' fluent and regular criticisms of Aristotle. One of the basic problems of the schemata of school traditions is that a school is not usually so much a body of doctrine but often more an interpretative community that coalesces around particular texts and textual hermeneutics.
The final chapter on Porphyry is the most extensive discussion of harmonization. Karamanolis begins with a discussion of the two texts that Porphyry is supposed to have written on the question of harmonization: On the Harmony of Plato and Aristotle, and On the Disagreement of Plato and Aristotle. Even the latter text seems to have been in a harmonizing vein; one thinks of the parallel with al-Farabi's Reconciliation and his separate works on the Philosophy of Plato and on the Philosophy of Aristotle. Difference did not lead to hostility to Aristotle (p. 253). It merely indicated distinct perspectives defined by different aetiological approaches to events, for example. A classic example is the difference on the nature of the soul as the entelechy of the body. Later in the Muslim period, in the Theology of Aristotle, one encounters differing views on the nature of the soul as entelechy reflecting Platonic, Aristotelian and arguably Porphyrian perspectives especially in the first chapter (mimar). It was Porphyry's harmonization that determined the project of late Neoplatonism.
Karamanolis' book is a welcome and scholarly contribution that addresses the question of what one understands by Platonism. The textual argument is further supported by two appendices on Platonic works and extensive scholarly notes and textual discussions. While it is not as accessible or perhaps influential as Gerson's book, it is remain an indispensable and useful complement to it.

I came across the summer and autumn free cross stitch patterns from Happiness is Cross Stitching the other day, then got stuck in the rabbit hole of her site looking for the other seasons.
In addition to this pretty fall scene, featuring a bird on a fence next to a birdhouse and a tree with fall leaves, I also found a spring design with a little house on it and the winter one with a house and snow-covered trees.
Those patterns are all from 2015; she's started another series for this year that so far includes the summer and autumn charts. This year's fall design features pumpkins, dried corn and a bird on one side and a quote from Emily Bronte on the other: "Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree."
The designs are like little pillow wall hangings or door hangers, and the new one also has a design to stitch on a matching gift bag. How cute is that?

The Old and the Less Dressed
If beaches are where the toned and the waxed compete for the best abs, pecs, and glutes, then water parks are the converse: flab jamborees of the lowest order, where no one feels particularly out of place exposing their family endowment of back hair and bottom-lard. I'm no Adonis and have been scolded repeatedly by my five year old daughter for being way too "furry" and failing to shave (my face, I believe she is referring to, though I've never pressed her on that point), but of course I don't ask to be taken to water parks and feel somewhat squeamish following other people's derrieres down the wet chutes. My kids are willing to don mental blinders if it means they can slip and slide for hours on end, and consequently had probably their happiest day of the summer yesterday at "Breezy Picnic Grounds and Water Park" in the town of Douglas, MA. A small-time water park, the Breezy slides get you up and down in a few minutes, giving the kids ample opportunity to enjoy the watery sluices.
My daughter runs several dozen degrees colder than most kids and needed a few respites to warm up under a towel; during one of these brief intervals, my wife cast her gaze out over the scene of barely clothed families and observed, "It's amazing that anyone ever gets pregnant." True enough: despite all the exposure, there was little titillation to be had.
Now that fall is just a few weeks away, bathing suits and exposed skin will give way to long pants, sweaters, and increased darkness. Summer's end may be bittersweet, but autumn will be a sight for sore eyes.

Cycling in this country is not exactly mainstream, but it does seem to be on its way to achieving that status.
Commuting by bike has seen a huge increase in the last 10 years, and recreational and competitive cycling has also grown significantly. Growth leads to diversity and cycling has plenty of that. So what's mainstream and what's not these days?
Let's get one thing straight. Fixed gear bikes, fixies, whatever you want to call them may be in the minority of bikes but they are just too visible, especially in big cities, to be on the fringe.
Trendy and fashionable maybe, but no longer on the edge of what's considered normal. The same goes for singlespeeds, which are further disadvantaged in the fringe stakes by being rather practical.
Sticking with the fixed gear theme, how about roller racing? This was quite popular in the UK 60 years ago, but died out until it was revived by Rollapaluza in the last decade.
Two (or more) riders race each other on stationary sets of rollers hooked up to a central timer. The rider who covers a set 'distance' first wins.
It's fast, adrenaline-fuelled, legal, suitable for indoor and outdoor spaces and quite popular in a fringe sort of way. Just ask Sir Chris Hoy, Vicky Pendleton, Laurence Dallaglio and James Cracknell, who've all had a go at roller racing.
On that note we should mention bike jousting. You can probably work the mechanics of this out for yourselves, but to give it more of an edge 'tall bikes' are commonly used. These are usually two bike frames welded to create the extra height.
Bike jousting is fringe sport, and will probably stay that way as it doesn't seem to be greater than the sum of its parts.
Artistic cycling is a sport recognised by the International Cycling Union, the world governing body for cycling. Think figure skating and rhythmic gymnastics, but on bikes.
Competitors get five minutes to wow the judges with their tricks and are awarded points depending on how good they are. The sport is popular in German speaking countries and to a lesser extent Japan, but nowhere else. That puts it on the obscure list in our book.
Moving away from sport, the bicycle is also used as a tool to protest against less environmentally friendly forms of transport.
Critical mass rides, where a large gathering of cyclists ride through city streets, usually ignoring traffic signals, are not technically protests, but they are a good way of making people aware of bikes.
Now, take that to the extreme (remove clothes) and you get the World Naked Bike Ride, of which there are dozens every year around the globe. It's the ultimate way of demonstrating how vulnerable cyclists are to motor traffic, although its participatory appeal is always going to be limited by self-modesty.
If you're a cyclist and none of these fringes appeal to you, then don't worry. It shows that cycling is big enough to support these branches, however off-beat, and we can only wonder what other two-wheeled strangeness is out there. Spotted any? Feel free to comment below.

Coventry City manager Andy Thorn feels that City will pick up enough points to stay up.
Speaking to the Press Association, following the 1-1 draw with Birmingham City, Thorn said: "I think if we had held on for longer than the two minutes we would have won the game.
"I thought we defended so well throughout the whole game and I think that was the only time we switched off.
"The way McSheffrey took his goal reminded me of how Teddy Sheringham used to head the ball.
"We just want to keep picking points up. Our home form has been decent and it is one in eight now at home that we have lost.
"We're going to give it a really good go. We have got four more games here and we're going to give it everything we've got and stick together as a team.
"I think we will pick up enough points. At one stage we were nine points away and to be right in it is a credit to the boys and the way they have pulled themselves back."

Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is an emergent pathogen associated with foodborne diseases, especially foodstuffs of animal origin. A total of 250 beef samples (ground beef and hamburgers) obtained from retail outlets in Santa Fe and Santo Tomé cities, and 150 milk samples from bulk tank milk from dairy barns of the region were analyzed by selective enrichment and immunomagnetic separation. Escherichia coli O157:H7 stx2, eae and ehxA positive strains were isolated from three (1.2%) beef samples. The strains could be differentiated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, phagetyping and genotyping of stx. The milk samples were negative for STEC O157. These findings confirm the role of food of animal origin in the epidemiology of E. coli O157:H7 - associated diseases.

We have just learnt from multiple sources that Ben Parr – Editor at the popular social media blog Mashable.com, has been fired! Both AllThingD and Business Insider have independently confirmed this to be true.
Ben Parr was fired a week before the Thanksgiving Holiday – this Friday, November 18th to be precise.
It seems that Mashable / Pete Cashmore and Ben Parr parted in a less than amicable way.
Why Did Ben Parr Get Fired?
So why did Pete Cashmore fire Ben Parr? There have been rumors of Ben Parr negotiating a huge payout with Peter Cashmore.
According to a BI post last week.
Ben Parr was offered an enormous cash payout as long as he stays until 2012. One source said Parr was offered a compensation package, on top of salary, worth more than $100,000 and less than $300,000.
One source said Mashable held onto Parr because he was described as Mashable's "front man" and had a large brand. Another source told us Parr was offered equity, but wanted a cash compensation plan.
The BI source also indicated that Parr's payout was a breach of contract. Speculations are running high on twitter and the blogosphere that the talks between Pete Cashmore and Ben Parr about this alleged big payout brokedown and Ben Parr was fired as a result.
Both Mashable and Ben Parr have refused to comment on Ben Parr's departure, with Mashable simply sending a one line email stating,
Ben Parr is no longer with Mashable. For all inquiries, please contact Chris Taylor and Lance Ulanoff.
and Ben Parr promising to throw light on this on Monday (tomorrow).
Mashable Becomes A Pageview Ho, Bleeds Talent
Ben Parr is not the first high-profile person at Mashable to depart the agency. Five of Mashable's most reputed writers – Jolie O'Dell, Jennifer Van Grove, Radhika Marya, Brenna Ehrlich, and Erica Swallow – left over the course of just a few months this year.
On top of that, Mashable also laid off most of its tech events staff including Kate Hayden, Karen Hartline and Site manager Brett Petersel. While Mashable describes all its departures as "mutual", the BI sources allege that they left because they disagreed with the direction of the company was going.
After Cashmore hired former editor in chief of PC Mag Lance Ulanoff to take the company in a new direction, sources allege that pageviews (the count of how many individual web pages are displayed) became the dominating metric for success, rather than unique visitors (which would be far less, especially consider the massive loyal following that Mashable currently enjoys). It seems that writers were also told to insert a gallery whenever possible to generate additional pageviews.
Another shocking revelation was that not even senior Mashable members held equity in the company, according to the BI source. Multiple sources said not even Parr held equity and it was just Pete Cashmore and his senior staff.
We will know soon – within a matter of hours hopefully – what really happened. But it is quite likely going to turn into a "he said,he said" war of words and the truth may never come out.
Stay tuned.

text: In the States, senators, mayors, governors, and local dignitaries all graved the various head tables. The New York gathering invited President James Buchanan to attend but he turned them down because of the press of public duties. He managed to send a message: "Poor Burns. I have always deplored his sad fate. He has ever been a favorite of mine. The child of genius and of misfortune, he is read everywhere and by all classes throughout the extent of our country, and his natural pathos has reached all hearts." The Washington D.C., Burns club also invited Buchanan to attend and received a similar reply.

Nearly 3,800 days have passed since the war in Afghanistan officially began on Oct. 7, 2001, making it the longest war in U.S. history. Since its inception, thousands have died and billions of dollars been lost amidst the mounting wreckage. Out of Rubble, an exhibition at SPACE Gallery, addresses this reality and the toll taken by a decade of war.
Artist and Carnegie Mellon art professor Susanne Slavick conceived Out of Rubble as part of an ongoing project entitled Ten Years Counting, which criticizes lingering military operations in the Middle East and Central Asia. The exhibition features photographs, paintings and multimedia artworks that "record, remember, reflect, re-purpose and restore [the] rubble" left in the wake of war.
Beyond the inseparable tragedy, death and ruination that accompany modern warfare, another binding motif is explicit in Out of Rubble: the need to re-do almost everything. In fact, the prefix re is perhaps an appropriate motif for the entire exhibition. Originating from the Old French meaning "back to the original place, again," this notion of returning everything to a state of perceived normality, alongside the perpetual reoccurrence of destruction, permeates Slavick's curatorial vision.
Out of Rubble features a number of large-scale photographs, most notably two dramatic C-prints by Jennifer Karady that restage traumatic experiences faced by veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. In her series "Soldiers' Stories from Iraq and Afghanistan," viewers are confronted with the chaotic intersection of past and present. Similar to the theatrically staged images of Gregory Crewdson, Karady works with a cast of individual veterans and their families to recreate specific moments from the war that have followed vets into civilian life. One image shows former staff sergeant Steve Pyle struggling amidst the ruins of a collapsed building while his wife and kids hold a picnic 20 yards behind him.
In a form of cognitive behavioral therapy, Karady records interviews with the family to capture a "partial but honest glimpse of the confusion of deployment and combat." Although closure is never truly achieved, the act of channeling and recording their memories through this dramatization provides a positive outlet for their anxiety.
Elaine Spatz-Rabinowitz visualizes the ubiquitous effects of war in her mixed-media piece "Iraqi Ditch 2005." This deceivingly realistic painting is composed on cast Hydrocal and features a trompe-l'oeil surface that rivals the best baroque muralists. In an Anselm Kiefer-like composition, Spatz-Rabinowitz juxtaposes Afghani slippers with dolls from Auschwitz amid the dusted-over surface of an abandoned public space. Absent a specific locale, the painting's ambiguity helps maintain its universality: It's a sight composed from the myriad pages of historical tragedy.
Elin O'Hara Slavick also mines history in her project "Hiroshima: After Aftermath," which features a 16-foot contact print entitled "Koko Bridge Reconstructed." Using multiple prints, she reproduced a scale-size frottage of this Japanese footbridge that miraculously endured the devastating blast of 1945. Using the bridge as metaphor, O'Hara Slavick suggests the shared history of atomic energy and photography while commenting on the fragmentation of post-war Hiroshima. Other C-prints in the same series were exposed to high levels of residual radioactivity in Hiroshima and identify the lingering effects of modern warfare on affected areas.
Efforts to physically re-build and re-store are often the most visible aspects of post-war endeavor. Enrique Castrejon's wall installation "Wasteland: Najaf" reassembles the fragments of architectural schematics and urban rubbish to create an explosive and disjointed composition. Using the impermanent materials of domestic life, his drawing hangs perilously by the strength of cellophane tape and thumb tacks, suggesting the inevitable return of war's destruction.
Artists in Out of Rubble were drawn from a book co-written by Susanne Slavick and Holly Edwards that confronts the ability of artwork to "represent the full complexity of any lived reality." Referencing the aestheticization of tragedy — as noted by Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno — Slavick questions the ethical justification for artwork that beautifies tragedy. In Out of Rubble, Osman Khan's "The Destruction of the house of Abu al-Aish" illustrates this concept precisely by criticizing the media's tendency toward sensationalism. Kahn's precariously placed animation simulates a barrage of debris raining down on the viewer over and over again. His animation re-contextualizes the actual event to create an oversimplified loop that the viewer endlessly relives.
The mounting wreckage in Iraq and Afghanistan has consumed nearly our entire experience of the 21st century. When will it end? Will there be anything left to start over? Slavick introduces Out of Rubble with a poem by Wislawa Szymborska entitled "The end and the beginning." My review ends where hers began: After all, "someone must push the rubble [aside] ... get mired ... glaze a window [and] re-hang a door" until we have buried, beneath the illusion of normality, all evidence of humanity's blind apathy.
OUT OF RUBBLE continues through Jan. 29. SPACE Gallery, 812 Liberty Ave., Downtown. 412-325-7723 or www.spacepittsburgh.org

The overarching aim of this thesis was to describe how family members experienced everyday life with life-threatening illness close to death, with focus on self-image and identity. The thesis comprises four papers, each with a specific aim to illuminate various aspects of the phenomenon under study. The study population consisted of 29 participants; ten family caregivers and five families, including five patients with life threatening illness and their family members. Data were based on retrospective single interviews (paper I), prospective individual, couple and group interviews with the families over six to eighteen month (papers II-III). Interpretive description approach (papers I, II, IV), narrative method (paper III) and secondary analysis (paper IV) were used to analyze data. The findings show how living close to death influences everyday life at home, at several levels (papers I-IV). From the perspective of the dying person, narrations of daily situations was described by four themes related to identity and everyday life; inside and outside of me, searching for togetherness, my place in space and my death and my time. The changing body, pain, fatigue, decreased physical capacity and changed appearance, appeared to influence the dying person's need for altered knowledge and community, and as a result the patterns of interaction within the families changed. The strive for knowledge and community took place at home, an arena for identity work and the conscious search for meaning, knowledge and community; it was limited by time and inevitable death (paper III). For the family member, life close to death can mean sharing life with a changing person in a changing relationship (paper II). It may mean that everyday life needs to be modified in order for it to work (papers I-IV). New patterns of dependence and an asymmetrical relationship affect all involved (papers III-IV). Daily life close to death is about finding the space to promote the individual self-image, me-ness, at the same time as finding new ways of being a family; we-ness (paper II). Regardless of being the ill person or not, the family members we interviewed had to face impending death, which challenged earlier ways of living together (papers I-IV). From the perspective of the relatives, the everyday life of caring for the dying family member was characterized by challenged ideals, stretched limits and interdependency (paper I). Situations that challenged the caregivers' self-image were connected to intimacy, decreasing personal space and experiences such as "forbidden thoughts". The findings suggest that the bodily changes were of importance for the self-image, and that the former approach to the own body was important in the process of experiencing the body. The person living close to death was in transition to something new; being dead in the near future. One way of handling the struggles of everyday life was to seek togetherness, strive to find other persons with similar experiences while sharing thoughts and feelings. Togetherness was sought within the family, in the health care system and on the internet; a sense of togetherness was also sought with those who had already died. The other family members were also in transition as the future meant living on without the ill family member and changing their status to for example being a widow or being motherless. Identity work close to death denotes creating an access ramp into something new; a transition into the unknown. From a clinical perspective, this study emphasizes the significance of creating a climate that allows caregivers to express thoughts and feelings.
Aim: The aim of this study was to explore situations in daily life that challenge caregivers' self-image when caring for a dying family member at home.
Background: Caregiving affects the health and daily lives of family caregivers. Patterns of challenging situations may provide insight into the home caregiving experience, thus contributing to our understanding on the influence it has on the caregivers self-image.
Design: Qualitative descriptive study.
Methods: Ten family caregivers who cared for a dying family member at home with support from an advanced homecare team were interviewed 6-12 months after the death of the family member. The interviews were analysed with interpretive description.
Result: Three patterns characterised the experiences of caregivers' daily lives in caring for a dying family member at home: challenged ideals, stretched limits, and interdependency. These patterns formed the core theme, the modified self. Situations that challenged the caregivers' self-image were connected to experiences such as "forbidden thoughts", intimacy, and decreasing personal space.
Conclusions: The caregivers met challenging situations in their daily lives that created a modified image of self. It is important to recognise the impact of caring for a dying family member at home.
Relevance to clinical practice: The present study argues for supporting family caregivers to maximize their potential to handle the demanding everyday life with a dying family member at home. This study contributes to understanding situations in the home that may challenge caregivers' self-image, and points out the importance of talking about caregiving experiences. From a clinical perspective the present study emphasizes the significance of creating a climate, which allows family caregivers to express thoughts and feelings. Sharing experiences such as "forbidden thoughts" can be one way of handling the profoundly changed every day life.
We used interpretive description to describe how everyday life close to death was experienced and dealt with in families with one member who had a life-threatening illness. We performed 28 individual, couple, and group interviews with five families. We found two patterns, namely, "being me in a family living close to death" and "being us in a family living close to death." "Being me" meant that everyone in the family individually had to deal with the impending death, regardless of whether he or she was the person with the life-threatening illness or not. This was linked to ways of promoting the own self-image, of "me-ness." This pattern was present at the same time as the pattern of "being us," in other words, being a family, and dealing with impending death and a new "we-ness," as a group. "Striving for the optimal way of living close to death" was the core theme.
Living close to death means an inevitable confrontation with one's own existential limitation. In this article, we argue that everyday life close to death embodies an identity work in progress. We used a narrative approach and a holistic-content reading to analyze twelve interviews conducted with three persons close to death. By illuminating the unique stories and identifying patterns among the participants' narratives, we found four themes exemplifying important aspects of the identity work related to everyday life close to death. Two of the themes, named "Inside and outside of me" and "Searching for togetherness", represented the core of the self-image, and were framed by the other themes, "My place in space" and "My death and my time". Our findings elucidate the way the individual stories moved between the past, the present, and the future. This study challenges the idea that everyday life close to impending death primarily means limitations. The findings show that the search for meaning, new knowledge, and community can form a part of a conscious and ongoing identity work close to death.

Be prepared to get pleasantly surprised if you get a chance to visit this small
hipster neighborhood called Shimokitazawa. This bustling area is full of cheap eateries, gadget shops, vintage clothing, retro furniture and a ton of performance venues.
This area is a lot of small alleyways waiting to be explored, so take your time and enjoy. It focuses on second hand stores with a lot of character. I got 2 great skirts for 800 yen!
The train station divides the area in a northern and southern part, with the north having an edgy, but sophisticated urban touch to it.
Vintage stores, and coffee houses are found in abundance. If you see the Canadian flag hanging in an alleyway here, you may have some amazing poutine if that is something you like.
The southern exit is where the going out scene takes place. Live music venues, restaurants and bars, tattoo shops, as well as some gaming and arcade centers.
Shimokitazawa is only four minutes from Shibuya station on the Inokashira lines. Or 7 minutes from shinjuku on the Odakyu line. Merri Kever, July 2015

A new consultation on the law of sentencing procedures has been launched by the Law Commission.
The plans do not affect the length or type of sentences but seek to bring greater clarity to the guidelines to enable defendants to better understand the language. It is not often clear how the various parliamentary acts, some dating as far back as the 14th century apply, so the Law Commission hopes to offer a technical fix to modernise the law and bring about greater transparency.
Law Commissioner Professor David Ormerod QC said: "People want and expect clarity and transparency when the Courts sentence offenders, but judges face an increasingly difficult task when doing so.
"Our changes will make sentencing simpler, by getting rid of the need to dust off decades' old law, cut Court waiting times and help make sure people get the justice they deserve."
The project's aim is to introduce a single sentencing statute that will act as the comprehensive source of sentencing law – the "Sentencing Code".
The Sentencing Code would:
- help stop unlawful sentences by providing a single reference point for the law of sentencing, simplify many complex provisions and remove the need to refer to historic legislation;
- save up to £255 million over the next decade by avoiding unnecessary appeals and reducing delays in sentencing clogging up the Court system;
- rewrite the law in modern language, improving public confidence and allowing non-lawyers to understand sentencing more easily;
- remove the unnecessary layers of historic legislation; and
- allow judges to use the modern sentencing powers for both current and historic cases, making cases simpler to deal with and ensuring justice is better served.
The public consultation is open until 26 January 2018 and more details can be found on the Law Commission's website.
Blaser Mills' Criminal Defence team represents clients charged with a range of offences at sentencing hearings. If you are facing criminal prosecution and wish to understand the likely sentences you could receive, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the team on 020 3814 2020 and they will be happy to assist you.

- Shares of genetic analysis company Illumina Inc. rose Thursday after the company said it sold 22 gene analyzing systems to the Broad Institute, boosting that institution's installed base to 47 units. The Broad Institute is a collaboration between Cambridge, Mass., neighbors Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University. It focuses on genetic research. The Genome Analyzer is one of its main genetic technology products.
"The Broad Institute's decision to significantly scale their installed base of Genome Analyzers is a tremendous sign of their confidence in our ability to continue improving the performance and economics of the system," said Illumina Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Christian Henry, in a statement.
"Illumina has taken a convincing lead in market share that is unlikely to be challenged meaningfully in the coming quarters," Leerink Swann analyst Issac Ro said in a note to clients.

Until 1947, British immigrants from England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland automatically became citizens of Canada; they did not need naturalization. Non-British immigrants, however, were required to make oaths of allegiance before receiving land grants. Files containing these oaths and petitions for citizenship covering the years 1817 to 1846 are found at the Provincial Archives.
Records created after 1917 are more detailed than earlier records and are found at:

Record Group 18, series A in the Public Archives of Nova Scotia contains many oaths of allegiance taken between 1862 and 1915. The following records are available at the Family History Library:
Naturalization Papers, Nova Scotia, ca. 1849–1917. Salt Lake City: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1983. (FHL films 1376184 items 2–3; 1376185 item 1; computer number 243157.)
Record Group 49 in the Public Archives of Nova Scotia contains citizenship records after 1900 for seven counties.
