New York, NY – January 12, 2017 – Tony Award®-winning Broadway producer Mike Isaacson will be presented The Commercial Theater Institute's Robert Whitehead Award for "outstanding achievement in commercial theatre producing" at a reception at Sardi's on Tuesday, March 14, 2017.
The award is inspired by the five-decade-long career of Tony Award-winning Broadway producer Robert Whitehead, who died in 2002. CTI is the nation's only formal program that professionally trains commercial theatre producers. The award honors a graduate of CTI for outstanding achievement in commercial theatre producing. CTI presented the first Robert Whitehead Award in 1993 to Benjamin Mordecai and Susan Quint Gallin.
"What I love about Mike is that he's very brave in his producing decisions but deeply concerned about the people who he works with and the people who work for him. As both a presenter and producer he's created organizations filled with professionals who love what they do and love him for leading them. He's just what every producer should aspire to," said Tom Viertel, Executive Director of CTI.
"In the tradition of the legendary producer, Robert Whitehead, for whom this award is named, Mike Isaacson is a passionate and prolific producer," said Victoria Bailey, Executive Director of Theatre Development Fund. "From St. Louis to Broadway, Mike's list of producing credits include some of the most popular shows in recent memory."
"Mike Isaacson is the ideal recipient of the Robert Whitehead Award because he displays an unwavering passion and commitment to every project. He truly puts his heart on Broadway," said Charlotte St. Martin, President of the Broadway League. "Combining his talents as both a producer and a presenter, he has consistently enriched the industry by bringing important, innovative and fun work to the stage."
Since 2000, Mike Isaacson co-headed Fox Theatricals with Kristin Caskey and has produced more than 21 Broadway musicals and plays, national tours, off-Broadway plays, and London productions. In June of 2015, he received the Tony® Award for Best Musical for Fun Home by Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori based on the graphic novel by Alison Bechdel. Fun Home won five 2015 Tony® Awards and was also a finalist for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It also received The Obie, The New York Drama Critics Award and The Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical. A national tour opened at Cleveland's Playhouse Square in October of this year and will tour the U.S. throughout 2017. Other producing highlights include The Humans (2016 Tony Award, Best Play); Bring It On The Musical (2013 Tony® nomination for Best Musical); Red(2010 Tony® Award, Best Play); Legally Blonde the Musical (2011 Olivier Award, Best Musical); Thoroughly Modern Millie (2002 Tony® Award, Best Musical); You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown; If/Then by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey and starring Idina Menzel; The Seagull starring Kristin Scott Thomas; Caroline, or Change by Tony Kushner and Jeanine Tesori; One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest starring Gary Sinise, and Death of a Salesman (1999 Tony® Award); Traces (Off-Broadway and national tour); Grace, starring Paul Rudd and Michael Shannon. For the Independent Presenters Network, he served as producer for the Broadway productions of Spamalot (2005 Tony® Award, Best Musical), Ragtime (revival) and The Color Purple. With his IPN colleagues Tom Gabbard and John Breckenridge, he also produced and supervised the revised national tour of 9 to 5 The Musical, which played throughout the U.S. and the U.K. All told, his productions have received more than 96 Tony® Award Nominations, and 29 Tony® Awards.
Mike Isaacson is also the third Executive Producer in The Muny's 99 year history. He has produced 35 shows there, and The Muny will celebrate 100 years in its 2018 season.
For 14 years, Isaacson supervised the U.S. Bank Broadway Series, bringing more than 100 Broadway productions to St. Louis's Fabulous Fox theatre. In 2010, he received the Broadway League's Samuel J. L'Hommedieu Award for Outstanding Achievement in Presenter Management. Isaacson has also served on the Board of Governors, the Executive Committee and the Governance Committee of The Broadway League. He was most recently honored for "Excellence in the Arts" by the Arts and Education Council in St Louis.
A joint project of The Broadway League and Theatre Development Fund, CTI was founded in 1981 by the late Frederic B. Vogel. The current executive director, Tom Viertel took on leadership of the program in 2013.
The Commercial Theater Institute presented the first Robert Whitehead Award in 1993 to Benjamin Mordecai (seven August Wilson plays on Broadway) and Susan Quint Gallin (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Monty Python's Spamalot). Subsequent honorees include: Dennis Grimaldi (The Heidi Chronicles, On The Town) in 1994; Kevin McCollum (Something Rotten, In the Heights) in 1995; Randall L.

Friends Reunited, launched in 2000 and one of the original social networks, is shutting its doors after 16 years. Unfortunately, no one really noticed.
Aside from a few hangers-on, pretty much everyone is on Facebook or LinkedIn for their post-study networking these days. Facebook and Twitter dominate the market, so it was a surprise to hear that Friends Reunited had still been quietly re-uniting old chums for all this time.
In fact, founder Stephen Porter posted on his blog on January 9 that it was time to wind things down, and it's taken this long for people to notice.
Porter wrote that the service was longer used for its original intention, and had become a bit of a desert wasteland. After two sales and an attempt to rejuvenate the site, Porter felt it was time to put it to rest.
It's not the end of the road for Porter, who will be concentrating his efforts on a new private platform for collating life's memories called Liife. It will be interesting to see whether that venture can do enough to differentiate itself from current social networks of a similar ilk.

Slamdance wrapped up its 19th annual film festival last week. Here's a recap of the festival.
Shorts: If there is any take away from the shorts program, other than the fantastic films, it's the fantastic filmmakers.
Every one of these shorts was deserving of an award but in the end I am Tom Moody took the Jury Award for Animation, ROTKOP directed by Jan Roosens received the Jury Award for Short Film and The Birdman by Jessie Auritt took the Jury Award for Short Doc. In other exciting news two Rooftop alum received special mention for their films. Jonathan Langager received a special mention for Josephine and the Roach, and Kris Avedisian also received a special mention for Donald Cried.
Features: Out of the thousands of submissions received this year, 22 feature films were in competition – ten documentary features, and twelve narrative features.
Documentaries: This year's narrative and documentary features included some of the most original films. In staying true to it's name Slamdance is in fact a film festival for filmmakers by filmmakers. These are some of the most unique, and original independent films. The plots and story may be different but the constant commonality that they have is heart. By meeting the filmmakers and watching the films, there is a sense of how much these films meant to those who made them.
Bible Quiz by director Nicole Teeny which took home the Jury Prize for Documentary Feature. It's centered around Mikayla, a normal teenage girl with a crush. Her crush just happens to be the captain of her Bible Quiz team. Also in the documentary category is Audience Award winner for documentary My Name Is Faith. A film by Jason Baker, Jorge Torres-Torres and Tiffany Sudela-Junker tackles the harsh reality of children suffering from PTSD and Reactive Attachment disorder. Other great documentaries to mention are Where I Am a documentary by Pamela Drynan about Gay American writer Robert Drake and his journey back to Sligo, Ireland where he was the victim of a hate crime,and Without Shepherds by Cary McClelland and Imran Babur. A documentary about six different people struggling and hoping for a better tomorrow for Pakistan.
Narrative Features: In the narrative features competition we saw some of the most unique and original films to date. Fynbos, a film by Harry Patramanis which took home the Kodak Cinematography Award, was shot in the Western Cape of South Africa in a remote glass house. The film centers around a man and his wife, as he attempts to sell the home to escape bankruptcy. Joy de V. a film written and directed by Nadia Szold. Nadia introduces us to Roman, a con-artist from New York. On the same day he learns his long con, collecting government disability is going to end, his wife Joy who is also seven months pregnant goes missing. We start from there and follow Roman as he navigates his way through New York, while he searching for his wife and attempts to prove to the government that he is in fact insane. The film received a special mention by the Grand Jury for narrative film on awards night. Aside from the amazing dramas, there were some great comedies in this years line up.
Ghost Team One directed by Scott Rutherford and Ben Peyser. In Ghost Team One, two best friends and roommates learn that their house is haunted. It also just so happens that these two guys are wimps and want nothing to do with ghosts. Unfortunately, the woman who is the object of their affection is obsessed with ghosts. As a result, hilarity ensues as these three with some great supporting character attempt to uncover the origin of their ghost.
He's Way More Famous Than You, stars Halley Feiffer as herself. Over the course of a day she loses her boyfriend, her agent, and her career. Halley who in addition to being an alcoholic also lives in denial. Instead of cleaning herself up and getting sober, she dives deeper into the sea of denial. She decides to move forward with the script she was writing with her boyfriend, and enlists her brother (played by co-writer Ryan Spahn) to star as her on-screen boyfriend; and his partner (played by director Michael Urie) to direct the film. Halley does all of this while trying to find a real A list star to be in her film.
Hank and Asha, which took home the audience award for best feature narrative. Is a new love story for the digital age. Asha comes across Hanks documentary film, and decides to respond to it via a video message. Hank then responds to her video and they in turn become digital age pen pals.
The Jury Award Winner for Feature Narrative was The Dirties. The film is Matt Johnson first feature, the film centers around two best friend Matt and Owen who are bullied day after day by a group they refer to as the dirties. Their only real escape is movies. They constantly watch, quote, and reenact their favorite films. When their student film premiere doesn't go as they planned Matt decides to approach the film in a new way, blurring the lines of fiction and reality.
Events: This year Slamdance saw a first: two locations. In addition to the Treasure Mountain Inn, Slamdance added a second location for its receptions. Slamdance added The Public House for its receptions, which turned out to be a perfect fit. The events ranged from filmmaker's parties', to a coffee talk with none other than Ted Hope. Mr. Hope was a perfect addition to Slamdance. His coffee talk gave both new and veteran filmmakers great insight into the world of independent filmmaking and producing.
The Public House also held some amazing parties, complete with shaving stations, a shoe shiner, and a photo booth!
If Slamdance 19th year is any indication of what's in store for the future of Slamdance, the festival will be around for many years to come.

GREUZE, Jean-Baptiste
(b. 1725, Tournus, d. 1805, Paris)
Ange Laurent de La Live de Jullyc. 1759
Oil on canvas, 117 x 89 cm
National Gallery of Art, Washington
Ange Laurent de La Live de Jully (1725-1779) was a wealthy art collector and amateur artist. Unlike many other Parisian collectors, who favoured works of Rembrandt, Rubens, and the Renaissance masters, La Live de Jully made a conscious effort to collect contemporary French artists. His enthusiastic support of the visual arts led to his election in 1754 to the office of honorary member of the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture in Paris.
In Greuze's portrait, La Live de Jully is shown as a gentleman cultivated in music and the visual arts. He is depicted in the study of his Paris residence, seated on a low, broad chair with conspicuous classical detailing, behind which is a matching writing table. On the right end of the table stands a marble statue of the Erythrean Sibyl by Jean-Jacques Caffiéri. The furniture is designed in a precociously neoclassical style by Louis-Joseph Le Lorrain with bronze mounts. The ebony-veneered writing table and a matching filing cabinet are now in the Musée Condé, Chantilly.

By all accounts, Rick Geary's a 'Treasury of Victorian Murder' series should not be scary at all. Geary's art, at first glance seems a better fit on the pages of Gumby than illustrating some of the most gruesome crimes of the 19th century. Even the plots tend to be composed mainly of facts and theories about the portions of the crimes that have gone unsolved. But oddly enough, it's precisely because of Geary's firm hold on reality with his plots, and his subtle use of horror and gore, that each episode fills with a dread that creeps to the back of your brain and stays there.
The Saga of the Bloody Benders takes the non-fiction elements to extreme by starting the story with maps. What seems like a history lesson on the surface, begins Geary's secret invasion into our mind. He puts in his own interpretation of the houses on the maps and presents them in such a way that 19th-century Kansas looks like a different world. The details on the history of the area help the reader become immersed in the culture of the time and how its people behaved and felt. Geary's art helps by showing a creepy John Brown with his sword covered in blood. This one simple illustration takes a simple line from a history book and gives it a face and meaning from page one.
This invasion of fact and caricature into your brain builds up until you are finally confronted with the grisly act. The murders aren't shown but their aftermath is, and that makes it worse. Characters who come from a state "born in blood and fury" are shown sickened by the murders of the family. The next panel shows the same men moving the house. It has the same disorienting look and feel to it that death gives in real life. These men are going through their work in a daze after being confronted with their mortality. There's no shocking panel of gore that can be identified as horrifying. Instead Geary allows the weight and reality of these events to sink in by showing us one little bone sticking out from the ground or an understated blood stain on the curtain.
In Jack the Ripper, Geary uses all the techniques employed in the Bloody Benders even more effectively. Geary plays up the city atmosphere of the killings making the whole book feel claustrophobic. The city looms over everything and like most smart works of art presents both the positive and negative of city life. London has Scotland Yard and Buckingham Palace but also terrible areas like White Chapel where the killings took place. One of the reasons Jack the Ripper is so terrifying is the mystery involved. Geary shows how British investigators exhausted every technique and resource to catch the killer but apparently, nothing could be done.
Geary subtly sets up a dichotomy of order vs. chaos in a way that is realistic and complex. The page where the story discuss the infamous "From Hell" note is the perfect example. The entire page is dominated by the background of this crazy handwriting. In the bottom is a small circle containing Scotland Yard and the quotation, "Several detectives already deem this a "transparent hoax." Nevertheless, the specimen was deposited for extensive examination with Dr. Openshaw of the London Hospital." In a small gesture, and purely by his layout, Geary suggests how the Ripper has overcome their culture. He even implies that both the people and detectives are helpless in the power of the Ripper, and shows how the detectives who realize this try and protect the population from panic.
Geary's real triumph of horror is getting the reader to identify with the psychology of these killers. We are so into thinking about Jack the Ripper's situation that when the "From Hell" note is presented, it becomes the scariest part of the book. It's a realization that this guy really thinks he's from hell! On one page, Geary illustrates all the possibilities thrown out for Jack the Ripper, and it becomes a kind of societal cross section of evil. But it also forces you to confront that fact that while Jack the Ripper was only one person, it could have been any of these people. Life has sent all of these faces over the edge as we're left to wonder how close we are to insanity.

I'm glad Geary gets some love. I actually haven't read From Hell, but I've been meaning to since I read Geary's version. I saw the movie though and it was OK.

Health Impact News
Can you imagine a healing methodology that uses a lamp with a 60 or so watt bulb and several different color gels that are effective and can be applied by anyone, and was used for two decades by American MDs?
Seems far fetched to many, even New Age woo-woo perhaps. But it exists now only as an inexpensive do-it-yourself in-home process.
Spectro-Chrome Light Therapy was proving to be a medical miracle as an extremely successful non-invasive, non-toxic remedy for rapidly resolving many medical maladies. Then the AMA and FDA combined their forces in the late 1940s to crush it.
Of course, to this day many would reject the notion of colored light applications to appropriate body parts as effectively healing anything, a placebo at best.
The science behind this mostly-unknown therapy originated in the 1870s from two 19th century doctors, Dr. Edwin D. Babbitt and Dr. Seth Pancoast, based on Civil War general Augustus Pleasanton's observations and writings. They were the original Spectro-Chrome researchers and healers whose interest in metaphysics motivated their investigations into colored light therapy.
But it wasn't until almost the end of the 19th century when an Indian physician, scientist, engineer, civil reformer, editor, scholar, metaphysician, and inventor, Dinshah P. Ghadiali, was forced to apply what he knew of Babbitt and Pancoast's work that Spectro-Chrome therapy was fully developed and thoroughly codified.
Enter Dinshah Ghadiali and The Beginning of Spectro-Chrome as an Organized Therapy
The incident that forced Dinshah into applying what he knew from the writings of Babbitt and Pancoast was truly a matter of life and death. In 1897 Bombay, India, a close friend's niece was dying from mucous colitis. Orthodox medicine was failing and so was she, from her inability to retain bodily fluids.
So Dinshah filtered the light of a kerosene lamp through a blue bottle to cast blue lighting onto her body. Within three days she was on her way to complete recovery. Dinshah wrote:
"The urgent straining to evacuate, which occurred perhaps a hundred times a day, abated to ten after one treatment; after three days she was able to get out of bed."
This event motivated Dinshah to develop an organized method and codification of colored light therapy from Babbitt and Pancoast's writings that could be applied by anyone for a vast variety of diseases. He worked on this for over 20 years before unveiling his discoveries in New York in 1920, where he had settled after arriving in America in 1911.
By 1924, he had trained over 800 laypersons and medical practitioners, including MDs. Dinshah also provided equipment capable of applying different colored lights according to the type of ailment and its location in the body.
FDA: Attack on Anything that Cures Outside of Pharmaceutical Products
Then the first blow from mainstream medicine arrived in a 1924 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), published by the notorious allopathic medical monopoly attack dog Morris Fishbein. Under Fishbein's reign, the AMA managed to reject several natural curing protocols and devices to build and fortify its medical monopoly.
The magazine derisively declared:
"Some physicians, after reading this article, may wonder why we have devoted the amount of space to a subject that, on its face seems so preposterous as to condemn itself."
Then it went on to mention a long list of medical problems Spectro-Chrome was "fraudulently" being used for.
The long list alone was impressive enough to lure more physicians into using Spectro-Chrome. Many continued the practice.
But this was the shot across the bow, a foreshadowing of the worst to come.
In Buffalo, NY, a 1931 indictment of medical fraud against Dinshah came to a jury trial. Thanks to the support of three physicians who had used Spectro-Chrome Therapy successfully, the jury reached a not-guilty verdict within 90 minutes.
One of those three expert witnesses was Dr. Kate Baldwin, MD, the head surgeon of Philadelphia Women's Hospital. She had 11 rooms in the hospital devoted to this colored light therapy, which she used to help cure patients with all sorts of serious maladies. (Source)
Four years before Dinshah's Buffalo trial took place, Dr. Baldwin had written a piece in the Atlantic Medical Journal of April 1927, claiming how after almost 40 years of medical practice, she was able to bring about better results more quickly without side effects with Spectro-Chrome Therapy, even with serious burn victims.
After the victorious Buffalo, NY trial, the FDA-AMA continually generated legal assaults which culminated in the last trial of 1946 in New Jersey, a loss that signaled the final call for Spectro-Chrome advocates.
As was done to many others during Fishbein's reign of terror against effective and safe alternative remedies, the newly police-powered FDA was incorporated to forcefully remove Spectro-Chrome equipment from private homes, doctors' offices, clinics, and hospitals.
FDA thugs came to Dinshah's home in New Jersey and made a public display of destroying his equipment on his lawn. Photojournalists were on hand to create newspaper and magazine images that were published nationwide, and the fear of using Spectro-Chrome by medical professionals was finalized.
The Dinshah Ghadiali Legacy Lives On
Disclaimer: This is an attempt to educate and is not meant as medical advice to diagnose or prescribe anything.
The current methods of Spectro-Chrome therapy include an incandescent 60 watt (or slightly stronger) light bulb in a lamp capable of holding plastic theater color slides, along with the manual Let There Be Light, to apply the colors needed for the desired health promoting applications.
The colors selected are in line with the color frequencies in the auras now detectable by electronic gadgetry that surround our bodies as well as subtle energies in and around different organs.
Here are excerpts from a 1999 Jean Edward interview of Darius Dinshah, who has preserved his father's work and published the book Let There Be Light, which can be ordered from the Dinshah Health Society:
The [Dinshah Health] Society's work is strictly informational. It provides information about color healing through such books as Let There Be Light and Dr. Babbitt's Color Therapy. There are some legal considerations why that is so. If we sold color projectors, they would be considered medical devices.
Depending upon the location of a given condition, exposing the skin to a particular color or colors is expected to cause a change. If a particular organ is deficient in activity, a specific color is recommended. If it is overactive, then we use the opposite color to reduce its activity. There is a color corresponding to each organ's cellular emanation.
We believe that there is a vibrational rate for each cellular part of the body. … For example, for the liver, we would use red to increase its activity or repair it, and for the spleen, it is violet, for digestion yellow or orange, and so on; these are, of course, simplified examples as diseases are often complex and require more than one color. There are 78 different attributes listed in Let There Be Light for the twelve colors we use.
My father [who died in 1966 at age 92] didn't associate the word "cure" when using the Spectro-Chrome. "Normalate" was his term, which means not quite the same thing as "cure." It means bringing your body to the best possible state at that time. In other words, bringing your system to its norm. It does not necessarily mean to eliminate a particular condition, rather, it is the best that your body can achieve at that time. (Source)
This takes very little expense and does not demand much of a learning curve to get started. It can be used either as a healing adjunct for whatever treatment you're undergoing under the guidance of a health professional or simply as part of a do-it-yourself protocol for minor and major ailments as well as a tool to make you healthier.
You can look further into using Spectro-Chrome yourself here.
Update: Glass filters are better for Spectro-Chrome than plastic gels. All the mechanical apparatus you'll need with glass filters can be found here.

Recommended Expat Blogs: Finland
Everybody who has spent time in a different country knows that expat life is not quite like anything else in the world. The confusion of the first few days and weeks, the slow, but steady process of acclimation, the little peculiarities and quirks that might strike you about your new surroundings: almost any situation you encounter can make for a great story. If you are so inclined and want to blog about it, of course!
Our InterNations recommended blog section features talented expat bloggers from around the world. Their offerings to the blogosphere have been selected for their great entries and high quality, whether they may be funny, informative, interesting, deeply personal or a combination of all of the above.
Let's hear from our featured bloggers in Finland:
Cindy: A.k.a. Chymecindy
I definitely experienced culture shock the first time I arrived here. It's just so different from where I came from. So quiet here and for me so hard to find friends because of the language. As time and years passes by I got used to it and actually like being here.
Stephen: Stephen Penny
I was as prepared as I could be. I had done my research and spoken to lots of expats out here who had moved from the UK. Even though I was armed with as much information as possible, I still faced many challenges.
Mark: A Scandinavian Interlude
I have made the adjustment to living in Finland, but there were a few things that were very different from my life back home. The first was getting used to the weather and darkness during the Fall/Winter season, which was quite different from the eternal sunlight and warmth living in California.
Eva: magellan & pan
My lifestyle has done a complete 180 since I moved here. Now I don't have a car and the city I live in doesn't have great public transportation, so I ride my bike everywhere. The closest store is 1.5km from my apartment now, and it might not seem like much but every time I need food I have to bike at least 3km. Also, since there aren't any tasty easy food options, I've been cooking using entirely whole foods - something I never used to do in NYC! It can be tough sometimes, but I love my new lifestyle and I am so much healthier because of it.
Melanie: Hey Helsinki
I've met some great people through introductions from mutual friends. It will feel like you're going on blind dates all the time, but you really have nothing to lose. Try to step outside your comfort zone and join in experiences unique to Finnish life.

Devon five-piece WITTERQUICK are fast emerging as one of the most exciting talents on the UK rock scene. In addition to making some great rock tracks, they also have a refreshing 'keep it real' attitude towards their music.
We spoke to bassist Ollie this week, and he told us: "Trust us, we're not here to jump on a bandwagon or fall in line with other artists, we want to do this honestly and make the music we want to make. We started off writing music that we wanted to listen to for fun, and it went from there once we realised that everyone else wanted to listen to it too. Whether that leads us to playing stadiums or playing to 10 people in a pub somewhere, we're going to do WITTERQUICK the right way. Why be like anyone else?
Testament to the quality of their music is the fact that the band has aloready worked with producer Romesh Dodangoda, whose CV includes the likes of Bring Me The Horizon and Twin Atlantic. Ollie told us: "It was a great vote of confidence the first time we worked with him because we were just starting out. When he called back after hearing some of the demos it gave us the mental support that any new band needs, it let us know we were on to something that people wanted to be a part of."
WITTERQUICK are due to begin a UK tour alongside Altered Sky and Autumn Ruin tonight and release new single Hiding Place tomorrow. On the new single, bassist Ollie told us: "It's on the heavier side of what we've done so far, the song came from a raw place so the feeling suits the lyrical content and the experiences behind it. It's a cathartic song for us."
The new track builds on the success of last year's debut EP Beneath the Spinning Lights, which fuses together five examples of brilliant anthemic rock – with delicious guitar riffs and frontman Will Alford's delicious vocals. Effortlessly catchy tracks like opener Soldiers and final track Rise make this a must-listen EP, alongside the superb, heavier, faster Fades Out.
In Romesh's own words: "Witterquick are a band with a massive sound and anthemic songs. I knew I wanted to work with them as soon as I heard Rise." Check out the video for the excellent Rise below.
And building on what gets them writing music Ollie told us: "We've got a great mix of influences, to the extent that you could just say music influences us. We're all quite eclectic, whether the genre is radio pop, or blues, or thrash metal, if there's something we like in it we'll listen to it. Biffy Clyro have been an influence in the way that we learnt from them that being YOU is the most important thing a band/artist can do. Trying to be like anyone else just adds you to the queue, being YOU means that you're the only one."
The good news is that there's plenty more to come from WITTERQUICK this year, with loads of new music – in Ollie's words "more than fans are expecting" – and lots of opportunities to see them live.
You can follow WITTERQUICK on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and get hold of their music on iTunes and all the usual places. Keep an eye out for the release of Hiding Place tomorrow, and check out their upcoming tour dates, including this month's tour that begins in Norwich tonight, here.

Tech Tips
AllyCAD Tech Tips are published regularly in response to the more frequent support requests received. If you have a request for Tech Tip on a specific topic, please email our support staff.
This Tech Tip explains what Proxy Entities are, and how to convert them to CAD entities.
A proxy entity is a substitute for a custom entity created by an add-on application that is not available to AllyCAD. When the add-on application that handles the custom entity is not available, AllyCAD loads the custom entity as a 'proxy entity' and can only perform very limited actions on it:
The proxy entity is stored in the drawing and it is saved back to disk when you save.
AllyCAD can draw a graphical representation of the proxy entity if it contains 'proxy graphics' data.
However AllyCAD cannot edit a proxy entity (it cannot be moved/scaled/rotated).
Examples of proxy entities in AllyCAD:
Civil Designer Roads, DTM, Water, Storm or Sewer entities (these require Civil Designer add-on modules to handle them)
AutoCAD MAP custom entities
When you open a drawing that contains proxy entities, you will be notified via a pop-up message:
Click on
to continue opening the drawing.
Some CAD functions may not work as expected when the drawing contains proxy entities (since the proxy entities cannot be modified). For example, the Recenter Paper function will display a warning message:
How to convert proxy entities
AllyCAD 8.0 allows you to 'explode' a proxy entity into simple editable CAD entities.
Select the proxy entity or entities you want to explode
Go to
Tools Menu > Explode > Explode Once
The selected proxy entities will be exploded into simple CAD entities (eg: lines, arcs and polylines).
: Proxy entity explode cannot be undone.

The U.S. Air Force Has a Brony Squadron
Flying and friendship are magic
WIB airWIB culture November 2, 2017 Matthew Gault
Now the Air Force has confirmed it. Bronies are flying jets.
"We train world-class pilots who will go on to defend our great nation," 1st Lt. Tom Barger, a public affairs officer at Vance Air Force Base in Oklahoma, tells War is Boring. "Fostering camaraderie, morale and unity on a regular basis and through small means — like a tastefully humorous patch — enhances our ability to complete the mission when working as a team is essential."
The pink and purple patch — first spotted by My Little Pony fan site Equestria Daily — and worn by 24 flight students from Joint Undergraduate Specialized Pilot Class 14-05, references the cable cartoon show about a team of magical ponies. Although criticized by some as a cynical bid to get children to purchase plastic pony products (it's a reboot from the 1980s), the show — which airs weekday afternoons on the Hub Network — became a cult phenomenon that's now spread to the armed forces.
My Little Pony is also perhaps one of the most talked about subjects on the Internet, with a fourth season on the way, a myriad of conventions, a Reddit presence containing dozens of subforums, and thousands of memes. It's also controversial. My Little Pony is not just popular with its target audience — young girls and their parents — but has an avid following among adult males known by the portmanteau of bro and ponies: bronies. A Facebook group for military bronies exists. But this appears to be the first brony unit in the military.
"Talking with a class member, the patch was kind of a fluke," Barger says. "During a slide show presentation while previewing the different patch options, the presenter threw the 'My Little Pilot' patch design into the mix as a joke. For whatever reason, that patch made it all the way through the approval process."
The patch wasn't embraced by everyone in the unit. "There was at least one non-brony who straight up refused to wear it and I overheard another complaining to his mom about it," said a commenter who claimed to be one airman's stepmother. "But the flight instructor (who was a captain) was wearing it and he had no problems with his masculinity."
But according to Barger, the students of the 14-05 don't see themselves as bronies at all. "The class never really wanted it in the first place," he says. "They thought it was so off the wall that it was hilarious."

Where Wonderbolts dare
Vance Air Force Base is one of the four U.S. training centers where commissioned officers become professional pilots.
Typically, it works like this. First, a unit completes 24 days of academics, and then trains for 90 days on the T-6A Texan II training plane. Next, the class splits into two sections, or "tracks," for 38 weeks of training on a more specialized plane.
One track is training with the T-38 Talon, which is used to train pilots who go on to fly the F-16 Falcon, B-52 bomber and the F-22 Raptor — the Air Force's newest stealth fighter. Other students in the unit are now training with the T-1A Jayhawk, a more commercial style plane similar to freighters, airlifts and tanker aircraft. (Last year, Vance AFB graduated 338 student pilots.)
The Air Force is also no different from the other branches in terms of tradition. When a group of student pilots — known as a JSUPT — begins training at Vance, they pick a class patch. This patch is an esprit de corps, meant to bond the group in a spirit of camaraderie. And in order for a JSUPT class to get a patch, they submit a number of designs to the brass.
Many of the patches submitted include pop culture references. The Hangover, Facebook and the "Got Milk" ad campaign have all been adopted in the past. Because of this, the Air Force has to seek approval from the copyright holders. Sometimes the holders approve it. Sometimes they don't. My Little Pony and the Hub Network's parent company, Hasbro, approved. The other patch designs submitted by the 14-05 didn't get cleared.
Hence, Air Force bronies.
But the humor of a group of Air Force students training with My Little Pony patches aside, it's actually quite fitting. The show makes no bones about the magical power of comradeship among a group of elite, flying ponies — friendship is ultimately the only way to beat the bad guys in every episode. The Air Force seems to have welcomed it.
"They have embraced the irony and humor of the patch and in so doing have fostered closer ties with each other," Barger added.
Though it was a fluke, the student pilots of the 14-05 could not be wearing a more appropriate patch.

"This is my fourth year as a patient of DHC. I'm 52 years old and have never known a friendlier, more professional place to have my teeth taken care of. Dr. John is #1 and all of his assistants are wonderful, too. Thank you DHC!"
"The DHC provided me with a whole whitening kit for a really reasonable price, and in the short amount of time I was there, I received quick, professional, and extremely efficient care! I was very impressed and would definitely recommend the DHC to anybody!!"
"I started as a patient when I needed a root canal procedure. I have always heard root canals hurt and I was prepared for pain. I had to come to see Dr. John three times for procedures, with each visit lasting about half an hour each. I felt pain for a total of six seconds during the whole root canal and repair to the tooth. Thank you!"

I am a straight up sucker for a good eye shadow palette – especially now that I know how to create looks. A few months ago, I was introduced to Younique … yeah, the one with that insane mascara. A fellow mom friend (thank you Ashley) shared photos of their palettes and I was sold. I started with Palette 1, which I used in the photo here. Quickly, I added Palettes 2 and 3 to my collection – I could not love them more!
For this look, I applied Sincere to my browbone and full lid then used Swanky for my lower lid, Zelaous for the outer "C" and Brassy for a pop of color on the inner lid. I love this look because it is dramatic enough to have fun, but also tame enough for the office. Plus, who doesn't love an excuse to pose for selfies at their desk?
Check out the full collection (and TWO new palettes, which I will be reviewing soon) on my Younique page. I promise you won't be disappointed.
The shadows are very pigmented and go on smoothly with very little flaking. I apply with my fingers … when you are blind and uncoordinated as I am, your brush will often make contact with the mirror. What can I say, I am talented.

Life goes on, life goes on
We gotta live it up 'til it's gone
Because we won't be around too long
Life goes on, life goes on
Lately it seems that good dreams are few and far between
Nightmares that pour the fires out with gasoline"

Dark Matter from Light Itself
Let there be light – and dark matter?
Dark matter makes up 80% of our Universe's mass, but it barely interacts at all with regular matter – including the atoms that make up scientific instruments – so it's thus far been undetectable. Now, Hertz Fellow Katelin Schutz has proposed a new origin story for the mysterious substance – a way for dark matter to be born from light itself in the first minutes after the Big Bang. If this is indeed where dark matter came from, scientists may soon have the technology to find it in the lab and a map for searching for it in the heavens.
"In some sense we know less about dark matter than we did twenty years ago," says Schutz. At the turn of the twenty-first century, it seemed likely that dark matter was made up of massive particles – hundreds of times heavier than protons – but scientists have searched in vain for these particles for decades.
"We built all these experiments that worked exactly as we expected, and they didn't find the dark matter," she says. "It's really opened up a lot of possibilities, and there's a lot of room for creativity right now."
One possibility – that dark matter is made from particles in a mass range far lighter than the mass of an electron – stood out to Schutz, a PhD student at UC Berkeley, and her collaborators, UCSD physicist Tongyan Lin and Harvard physicist Cora Dvorkin. There was just one problem: there was no satisfying model for the origin of dark matter particles in this mass range that was also consistent with our observations of the Universe today.
But Schutz, Dvorkin, and Lin realized that there was an additional way for dark matter to form: from light. Photons – the particle form of light – normally have a mass of zero, but when moving through highly conductive environments, like the dense plasma that suffused the universe in its earliest moments, they pick up some effective mass, like the extra drag you'd feel swimming through syrup. If dark matter originated from the decay of these massive photons the effect on the Universe's development would be small enough to be consistent with our observations, but large enough to pick up on with some careful cosmological research.
One tool for matching theoretical predictions like Schutz's with reality is the microwave radiation left over from the first million years after the big bang. This cosmic microwave background radiation comes streaming at us from all directions, but it is more intense in some parts of the sky than others (Hertz Fellow John C. Mather won the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physics with George F. Smoot for measuring these irregularities). Schutz, Lin, and Dvorkin are now working to model exactly what features of the cosmic microwave background radiation this new theory predicts.
But we need not look only to the skies for dark matter. If it is indeed made of particles in this mass range, it would be very hard to detect in the lab, but not impossible. Schutz says that, with focused development, scientists might be able to detect this sort of dark matter within a few years. "I think it's definitely worth pursuing the necessary R&D for science reasons," she says, "and maybe we could even find something useful to do with this tech for 'everyday' purposes."
"Now is a really exciting time to be thinking about dark matter," says Schutz.

Coin Pearls
We've been bugging Swarovski to bring out coin pearls for quite some time now - doing things like saying to the sales reps that come and do the quarterly new-product presentations, "Hey - why don't you make coin pearls?", and "Hey, why haven't you made those coin pearls yet!"
And, here they finally are! Freshwater coin pearls have become increasingly hard to get, utterly inconsistent and of wildly fluctuating quality and price - and sometimes, you just really want these flat, lentil-shaped pearls to make your designs sing! And, it's really nice when you make something and your BFF bugs you to make her* one too - you know that you can instead of not being able find those pesky coin pearls again!
So let's hear it for Swarovski Coin Pearls - quality, consistency, and predictable supply! Yay Swarovski!
* or him. We don't judge.

"The uselessness of selfish toil. " Ecclesiastes 4 (Ecclesiastes 4:1-16)Dr Jim Winter, July 7, 2019
Part of the series, preached at a Sunday Evening service

|Same day:
|« " Bread of heaven. Feed till I want no more. " Exodus 16:1-36
|" The wisdom of God. " 1 Cor 1:18-31
|"Uzziah reigns in Judah. " 2 Chro 26:1-23 »
Ecclesiastes 4:1-16
1So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter. 2Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive. 3Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun. 4Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit. 5The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh. 6Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit. 7Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun. 8There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail. 9Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 10For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. 11Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? 12And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. 13Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished. 14For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor. 15I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead. 16There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit. (KJV)
