The first we see of Darth Vader in ANH is him bursting through into the Tantive IV, black Nazi inspired suit and all joining in the shock and awe tactics of his Stormtroopers.
Next thing we know, he's lifted up Captain Antilles by his throat and is choking him, demanding to know where the 'intercepted transmissions' are, thus beginning a theme of strangulation in Star Wars.
Now let's be clear, strangulation in Star Wars is definitely a power play and but its use can have different results on the user and individual on the other end.
When Vader uses it, it's to show strength or to intimidate. And when Luke uses it in Jedi, while it's an intended power movie, it's actually a sign of him dancing too close to the dark side of the Force.
Here's what George Lucas actually said in an interview about the theme in an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine:
RS: One of Vader's favorite ways of dispatching people is by strangulation. Is that because of his inability to breathe without the iron lung?
"Well, it's a bigger metaphor than that. Strangulation is always a theme. Life is breath. It's a powerful idea in Buddhism: Cutting off life is cutting off breath. The road to the Force is through the breath. Impotency is cutting off hands and legs and arms. That's a theme too."
Let's examine the context of some of the classic choking examples in Star Wars.
Admiral Motti learns the full power of the Force
Even though Captain Antilles of the Tantive IV may have claim to fame as being the first person on screen to have had their oxygen supply cut off by Vader, it's Admiral Motti who gets the real nod as being the first person to be Force choked by Vader.
What an honor...
Motti believes as an Admiral that he is in a position of strength when he says to Tarkin's man "Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the rebels' hidden fort-...
Vader then gives Motto some gentle retribution in the form of some Force pressure to his throat and gives us the infamous "I find your lack of faith disturbing"
Motti was trying to say "hidden fortress" which is a direct shout out to Akira Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress movie which had a massive influence on the Star Wars plot.
These two moments really set the tone of Vader's character for the rest of the movie.
Rogue One gave us two fabulous choking moments. As Director Krennic visited Vader at his Castle, for his troubles he was choked and Vader quipped:
''Be careful not to choke on your aspirations, Director", said while he was Force choking the good director.
The second of course when Vader took apart the Rebels as he went for the stolen plans. He Force choked a soldier and flung around like a piece of meat.
Captain Needa has a hard time in Empire when he lost the Millennium Falcon and Jejerrod got a taste of it in a deleted scene in Jedi too:
The deleted scene featured this great exchange between the two:
"Jerjerrod: You may not enter.
Vader begins to choke Jerjerrod
Jerjerrod: it's the Emperor's command!
Vader releases his chock and says: As the Emperor wills.
Jerjerrod: Very good."
Jedi is a good time to think about Luke Skywalker's use of a force choke.
He does two chokes just as he is entering Jabba the Hutt's palace to Jabba's Gamorrean Guards (the big green pigs).
Why is a good guy Force choking people?
It's a pretty aggressive move. Luke is wearing black at this point and it's reasoned he was veering close to the Dark Side and the choking is evidence of that.
There's a clever moment of visual foreshadowing in Attack of the Clones that Anakin will eventually choke his pregnant wife.
Padme and Anakin: Two lovers lost across the stars
There's a clever moment of visual foreshadowing in Attack of the Clones that Anakin will eventually choke his pregnant wife.
Star Wars Ring Theory expert Mike Klimo spells it out:
'In Attack of the Clones, Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala sit together—in an intimate "fire-lit" alcove—and talk about their growing feelings for each other and the impossibility of sharing a life together.
The pivotal scene is dimly lit and, according to George Lucas on the Clones DVD commentary, "intended to be overly dramatic, almost overly operatic in its emotional intensity." Padme wears a black leather gown, which Star Wars prequel trilogy costume designer Trisha Biggar dubbed the "leather and lace" outfit.
She added: "It was a beautiful gown with a very tight corset and matching gloves." (It's important to remember that tight-fitting corsets squeeze your ribs and lungs, which makes it difficult to breathe.)
But perhaps most significantly, the outfit, which Lucas himself helped design, also includes a black "choker." So, taken as a whole, the scene's carefully crafted visuals not only anticipate the choking of Padme, but also what ultimately lies at the end of the road if the star-crossed lovers let their emotions run rampant: the fiery landscape of Mustafar, the loss of life, and a dark leather life-support suit with a device to facilitate breathing.'
So there's that.
As an aside, Attack of the Clones has another moment of foreshadowing when Anakin meets Yoda's class of Younglings.

Speaking of Padme, let's talk about her daughter, Leia in the:
The chocking of Jabba the Hutt by Princess Leia
Princess Leia freeing herself from Jabba's slavery was a strong moment for the character. She famously strangles Jabba with the chains that bound her.
The moment of its plot development is very interesting:
Jabba the Hutt's death scene was inspired by the death of mafia henchman Luca Brasi in The Godfather film.
Here's an excerpt from "The Making of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi," in which George Lucas, scriptwriter Lawrence Kasdan, and director Richard Marquand discuss Jabba's death during a story conference:
"Kasdan: How do you feel about [Leia] being the one that causes Jabba's death?
Lucas: That I could go for. She could strangle him.
Marquand: With the chain.
Lucas: She jumps around and wraps the chain around him and strangles him. Jabba is kind of a rubber character, so we could have this big, ugly tongue come out, uggghhhh . . . It's The Godfather.
"During the duel on Mustafar at the end of Sith, Anakin Skywalker grabs Obi-Wan Kenobi by the throat (with his right hand) and forces him down on a table.
At the start of Star Wars, Sith's corresponding episode in the Star Wars Ring Theory, Darth Vader physically lifts the captain of the Rebel Blockade Runner off the ground by his throat (with his left hand) and chokes him to death."
Sadly Carrie Fisher is no longer with us, but as a final joke or tipping of the hat to Star Wars, she said this in her memoir, Wishful Drinking:
"Now I think that this would make for a fantastic obit — so I tell my younger friends that no matter how I go, I want it reported that I drowned in moonlight, strangled by my own bra."
Sebula chokes Jar Jar Binks briefly in The Phantom Menace
Vader chokes Admiral Kendal Ozzel in Empire for dropping out of hyperspace in a manner that gave the Rebels the heads up and a chance to flee.
Kylo Ren gets in a force choke or two in the films as well.
And this is where it gets weird

Hornberg, Black Forest, 2 August 1935
Dear Herr Benjamin:
Today let me try to say something to you at long last about your draft essay, which I have studied very thoroughly and discussed with Felizitasfootnote1 again; she fully shares my response. It seems to me to be in keeping with the importance of the subject—which, as you know, I rate so highly—if I speak with complete candour and proceed without preliminaries to the questions which I may consider equally central for both of us. But I shall preface my critical discussion by saying that even though your method of work means that a sketch and a 'line of thought' cannot convey an adequate representation, your draft seems to me full of the most important ideas. Of these I should like to emphasize only the magnificent passage about living as a leaving of traces, the conclusive sentences about the collector, and the liberation of things from the curse of being useful. The outline of the chapter on Baudelaire as an interpretation of the poet and the introduction of the category of nouveauté on p. 172 also seem to me entirely successful.footnote2
You will therefore guess what you hardly expected to be otherwise: that I am still concerned with the complex which may be designated by the rubrics—prehistory of the 19th century, dialectical image, and configuration of myth and modernism. If I refrain from making a distinction between the 'material' and the 'epistemological' questions, this should be in keeping—if not with the external organization of your draft—at all events with its philosophical core, whose movement is to make the antithesis between the two disappear (as in both the more recent traditional sketches of the dialectic). Let me take as my point of departure the motto on p. 159, Chaque époque rêve la suivante [Every epoch dreams its successor]. This seems to me an important key in so far as all those motifs of the theory of the dialectical image, which basically underly my criticism, crystallize about it as an undialectical sentence: such that its elimination could lead to a clarification of the theory itself. For the sentence implies three things: a conception of the dialectical image as a content of consciousness, albeit a collective one; its direct—I would almost say: developmental—relatedness to the future as Utopia; and a notion of the 'epoch' as the pertinent and self-contained subject of this context of consciousness. It seems extremely significant to me that this version of the dialectical image, which can be called an immanent one, not only threatens the original force of the concept, which was theological in nature, introducing a simplification which attacks not so much its subjective nuance as its truth content itself; it also misses that social movement of contradiction, for the sake of which you sacrifice theology.
If you transpose the dialectical image into consciousness as a 'dream' you not only disenchant the concept and render it sociable, but you also deprive it of that objective unlocking power which could legitimate it materialistically. The fetish character of the commodity is not a fact of consciousness; rather, it is dialectical in the eminent sense that it produces consciousness. This means, however, that consciousness or unconsciousness cannot simply depict it as a dream, but respond to it in equal measure with desire and fear. But it is precisely this dialectical power of the fetish character that is lost in the replica realism (sit venia verbo) of your present immanent version of the dialectical image. To return to the language of the glorious first draft of your Arcades project: if the dialectical image is nothing but the way in which the fetish character is perceived in a collective consciousness, the Saint Simonian conception of the commodity world may indeed reveal itself as Utopia, but not as its reverse—namely, a dialectical image of the 19th century as Hell. But only the latter could put the idea of a Golden Age into the right perspective, and precisely this dual sense could turn out to be highly appropriate for an interpretation of Offenbach—that is, the dual sense of Underworld and Arcadia; both are explicit categories of Offenbach and could be pursued down to details of his instrumentation. Thus the abandonment of the category of Hell in your draft, and particularly the elimination of the brilliant passage

Leilani Sinclair, MA, MFT, CSAT-c
Leilani's integrative approach to therapeutic work draws from a diverse range of psychodynamic trainings, workshops and education involving trauma-informed therapy, adolescent self-image and empowerment, parental alienation and estrangement, EMDR, mentalization, sex/pornography addiction, substance abuse addiction and grief and loss.
Leilani has received extensive training in working with children and parents to navigate difficult times of divorce, custody disputes and family crises. She also works with adults seeking to heal from childhood experiences that involve parental conflict and divorce. In August 2018, Leilani presented her Master's thesis at a conference in London, Moving Upstream: Family Separation Clinic and European Association of Parental Alienation Practitioners. Titled,"Therapy Contraindicated: The Treatment Challenges of Working with Severely Alienated Children". Her thesis highlighted the negative impact children face during times of high-conflict parental divorce and provided practical recommendations that therapists could follow in these difficult situations based on the latest evidence-based research.
Additionally, she is completing a rigorous training program as a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT) through the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP). This program was developed by the field's pioneer, Robert Karnes, for the treatment of those seeking to heal from sex abuse, addiction, compulsion, pornography or ineffective sexual patterns. Additionally Leilani has been trained to work with partners of sex addicts who are traumatized by the discovery of their partners infidelity.
She has also earned a basics-level Mentalization certification jointly offered by the Anna Freud Center based in London and the Menninger Clinic at Harvard Medical Center for the treatment of borderline individuals. A psychodynamic approach to strengthening insight and cognition, mentalization has shown to be effective in the treatment of clients with borderline characteristics, emotional dysregulation and epistemic distrust.
Leilani works with individuals and couples of all gender identifications and orientations including heterosexual and LGBTQIA.
Leilani began her clinical work in 2016 as a Trainee at Counseling West, an affordable nonprofit counseling center in Sherman Oaks. She earned her master's degree (M.A.) in Counseling Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute and her B.A. in History from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

New species discovered in depths of Atlantic
Explorations deep in the Atlantic Ocean have uncovered what scientists believe are new species of tiny wing-footedsnails, pulsing jellyfish and swimming worms in plankton.
Thezooplankton species were discovered as researchers chartedplankton to see if climate change is harming the base of the food system in the sea, and if acidification in the ocean is affecting sea life, scientists reported Thursday.
Plankton, the microscopic plant and animal organisms that drift in seas, oceans and lakes, helps to moderate climate by taking carbon to the bottom of thewater. Oceans absorb carbon dioxide, but the process increases the amount of acidity in the water, which could make it more difficult for creatures like crabs to growshells.
Fish and marine mammals, such as whales, feed on plankton.
More than two dozen marine scientists from 14 countries, including Canada, were on board for the 20-day survey of tropical waters between eastern United States and the mid-Atlantic ridge, including in the Bermuda Triangle, .
They found "what appear to be several undescribed species that may well prove new to science," said the expedition's scientific leader, Peter Wiebe, senior scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the United States.
"It was tremendously exciting, the sense of discovery," Wiebe told Canadian Press. "There was huge excitement because people had not seen animals this size from these depths."
Samples were collected from the deepest waters of the ocean, down to 5,000 metres.
They are also studied DNA from the zooplankton, the animal component of plankton, completing in three weeks what once took years in the lab.
New species include:
- Six types of ostrocods,shrimp-like creatures that kick their tails and are preyed on by commercial fish species.
- Swimming worms.
- So-called flying snails called pteropods. The creatures propel through the water byflappingtwo wing-like lobeson their feet.
- Pulsing jellyfish.
The animals are usually millimetres long, but some, such as jellyfish, can range up to the four centimetres in length.
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration funded the study, which is part of the wider Census of Marine Life, a project to map the ocean life by 2010.

IoT is anticipated to be a globe-spanning network of connected objects, consisting of vehicles, home appliances, wearable gadgets, sensors, electronics, security, logistics, manufacturing; the list goes on. And effectively all of the analysts predict exponential growth in IoT in 2019 and indeed, far beyond.
The growth won't only come from the plethora of 'things' that sit under the umbrella term IoT, but also the sheer number of benefits that they bring about. There's a big focus on driving efficiencies by automating manual processes leading to cost savings and in turn, larger investment scopes for businesses. Telecoms products can seem one directional in terms of benefits, but when it comes to IoT, there's a whole range. It's on everyone's agenda, whether it's small businesses who want to optimise routes and monitor driver behaviour to manage maintenance costs and save money, or huge enterprises who want to track assets or people globally.
Depending on which analyst or data expert you choose to subscribe to, we're talking potentially billions of devices connected in the near future. And 2019 will see leaps and bounds in both the development and distribution of IoT solutions.
Smart Homes
The smart home, for example, is something consumers at large are about to become familiar with—and we're all consumers when we get home and take our suits off. AI-run residences are around the corner, as machine learning will enable our homes to act and react according to our wants and needs. Automatic grocery ordering will evolve beyond its crude implementation in the form of Dash buttons and instead react according to household supply; heating will be based on who's home rather than time of day; the list goes on.
Businesses will seek to gain a competitive edge through revamping and streamlining processes with IoT devices, more so than they are now. But perhaps an even bigger shift will be seen in next year's job market. Following the industrial revolution that came about through the successful deployment of high-speed connective networks in the form of road and rail, people moved in swathes from rural to urban areas as a vast number of unprecedented industrial job roles saw the light of day. In a similar vein, we're undergoing a digital revolution with connectivity such as data, mobile, and wifi—and through this, new jobs (and perhaps down the line even professions) that haven't even been thought of yet will be created.
Along with 2019's promise of digital revolution comes the implicit need for stronger, safer security measures on our tech. It's hard to read the news without hearing about some kind of data breach or hack, and it's not just budding companies that suffer these—huge global enterprises are still finding themselves vulnerable, despite advancements in data security. To safely implement technology that will automate more high stakes processes, such as self-driving cars, security needs to advance far and beyond what we're already capable of, and the year to come will surely see a big push on this front.
It's safe to say that IoT won't just be a part of our future—it IS our future, and 2019 will bring us one step closer to it. Every aspect of our life will soon be managed by some form of IoT and it will become the new norm; and as this happens, it will become less of a googled term and more a tenet of our daily lives. The same happened with smart-phones: as analog options become obsolete and cease to exist, so too does the terminology differentiating breakthrough tech.

Join us on an FB Live chat today at 2.30 PM to learn more about a unique return to work program to up skill women on a career break!
Sharing chores should be a given for true feminism at home. This is how I convinced my husband and ensured it in my newly married life.
I recently got married. Of all the things I have experienced since I got married I want to tell you about the feminism at my new home.
Since I was a teenager I had firmly decided that I will do my bit to change the world of women for the better. And this I would do not so much by being a social activist or a social worker but by bringing about the required changes in my home. That is all one needs to do to start the domino effect of social change.
So when I got married two months ago and finally had a home of my own, I was very clear about what I had to do.
Before getting married I had already told my boyfriend not to expect certain things from me the way he will see his friends expect from their wives. These would include treating cooking and cleaning as my personal bonded labour, expecting a child until we both wanted it, interference in my career and last but not the least ask for sex as a right.
Even though he agreed at the time, initially after we got married I would suddenly hear comments or jokes from him about what I'm going to feed him or if I know how to cook something. One time he in all seriousness and compassion, told me that it's ok that I don't know how to cook non-vegetarian food.
He didn't realise that he was falling into the trap of gender roles because it is so deep-rooted in our minds, it is what we see and hear around us. I tried to tell him a few times but it wasn't getting through at first. Finally I had to sit him down and tell him directly. "Listen…I love you…But I am not going to cook every day! You need to understand that I am not going to cook like all other wives. We can either keep domestic help or cook together." He understood this time.
So when we finally moved into our new home and it was time to cook and clean we did it together.
Now when he has to go to work during the day I cook lunch and he cooks dinner. And both of us do the laundry in turns. The way my home runs is a great achievement for me. I am proud of it. My husband tells his friends about how we have divided all chores and they are always surprised. "Even cooking?" they exclaim. And my husband always proudly says yes.

The men planned to stage an attack on Christmas Day or New Year's Eve.22 December 2016 13:00
Tatan Syuflana & Stephen Wright/Associated Press - Indonesian police said three suspected militants who were planning a holiday season suicide bombing were killed in a gunbattle Wednesday on the outskirts of Jakarta in the second imminent attack to be foiled in less than two weeks.
A residential neighborhood was evacuated after bombs were found in a house rented by the men. Police said they had found five low-explosive bombs made from potassium nitrate and defused three so far. TVOne reported numerous controlled explosions have occurred at the location.
The men planned to stage their attack on Christmas Day or New Year's Eve, said Jakarta police chief Mochamad Iriawan. They were to stab police officers in order to attract a crowd and then detonate bombs, he said.
The three men were killed during a violent confrontation with the police's anti-terror squad in a leafy residential compound in Tangerang, a Jakarta satellite city, after refusing an appeal from authorities to surrender.
National Police spokesman Rikwanto said the men threw explosives and fired guns at police. A fourth man, who was arrested in the neighborhood, had led police to the house used by the militants.
"Every year, Christmas and New Year's events are the target of terrorists to carry out amaliyah," Rikwanto told a news conference, using an Arabic term that's a byword for suicide bombing in militant circles.
Indonesia has carried out a sustained crackdown on Islamic militants since the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people. But a new threat has emerged in the past several years from militants who have switched allegiance to the Islamic State group and from new recruits. An attack in the capital Jakarta in January by IS sympathizers killed eight people, including the attackers.
Police said the holiday season plot was uncovered during the interrogation of militants arrested Dec. 10 who were planning a suicide bomb attack on a guard-changing ceremony at the presidential palace in Jakarta the next day.
Police have said that foiled plot, in which a woman was to be the suicide bomber, was orchestrated by Bahrun Naim, an Indonesian with the Islamic State group in Syria. They also say Naim was behind a bomb lab that was raided last month in West Java and contained enough explosive materials to make bombs three times more powerful than those used in the Bali bombings.
A revamp of Indonesia's anti-terrorism law has languished in parliament this year and may not be seriously deliberated again until the second half of next year due to rising Muslim populism, Achmad Sukarsono, an analyst with Eurasia Group, wrote in a report. Police are particularly concerned by lack of legal powers to deal with Indonesian militants who return from Syria.
"Security forces will have to double down on surveillance efforts with the currently inadequate legal support, and the probability of them failing to prevent a terror strike will rise," Sukarsono said.
Agus Wartono, owner of the house rented to the slain men, said they became his tenants about two weeks ago. They presented themselves as drivers for motorbike taxi hailing app Go-Jek and wore its trademark green jackets, he said.
The Australian government's advice to travelers, updated Wednesday, said the terrorist threat level in Indonesia remains high. It notes that authorities have arrested people who were allegedly in the advanced states of attack planning.
Awi Setiyono, a police spokesman, said that one of the slain militants, who he named as Omen, was a convicted murderer who was radicalized in prison by a militant who had plotted an attack against the Myanmar embassy in Jakarta in 2013.
The two other slain men were members of Jemaah Anshorut Daulah, an extremist group led by radical cleric Aman Abdurrahman.
The anti-terror squad also arrested a suspected militant in North Sumatra's Deli Serdang district on Wednesday and another in Payakumbuh, a town in the neighboring province of West Sumatra. Police said they were linked to radicals who were arrested in August for an embryonic plot to fire a rocket at Singapore from the nearby Indonesian island of Batam.

Thank you!
Thank you so much. The results on February 18 weren't what we had hoped. We received 26% of the vote in the municipal primary, and the top two candidates will go on to the general election on April 7.
I am really proud of the campaign we ran – we knocked over 14,000 doors, made hundreds of phone calls, sent over 140,000 text messages, raised over $48,000 dollars, held many events, received numerous endorsements, and above all changed the conversation and political dynamic in Milwaukee.
Every single one of you played a part in this – even if all you did was cheer us on. I could not be more grateful.

Qualcomm has just announced a new version of their S4 series of mobile processors. It's going to be called the Snapdragon S4 Pro MSM9690. Incredibly it's said to be up to x4 faster than the original version. Boy it's getting quick nowadays isn't it.
The graphics side is handled by a Adreno 320 GPU and this bad boy is able to produce console like graphics and lovely swish full HD video display. It also has so much power its capabilities reach to the ends of being able to power the highest end of cameras, including the new light field based ones being brought by the Lytro technology.
It's also said by Qualcomm that the S4 Pro MSM9690 will be equipped for tablets and netbooks alike.
Qualcomm mentions that the S4 Pro will be position for the tablet and netbook market, so whether we see this big boy processor in any smartphones remains to be seen. Watch this space and we will update you when we have more.

For many people, the phrase "dental crown" is almost synonymous with "pain" or "debt." In all reality, though, a dental crown is the total opposite of a death sentence! Consider a few reasons why your dentist may recommend that you have a dental crown.
1. It's Stronger Than a Filling.
There is a point at which your tooth is no longer structurally sound after being damaged by decay or injury. If enough of your tooth is fractured, then a filling won't be strong enough to keep it in one piece. A severely fractured tooth is harder to restore and may need to be extracted. A dental crown helps hold together what is left of your tooth enamel.
2. Aesthetic Benefits.
Fillings are not always pretty! Even when you choose to have tooth-colored fillings placed, these can pick up staining around the edges over time. A porcelain or ceramic crown, on the other hand, doesn't stain. It will stay beautiful for as long as you want it to. A crown is a durable and pristine cosmetic choice for heavily chipped and stained front teeth.
3. Less Sensitivity.
Advanced tooth decay and large fillings are often accompanied by sensitivity. A crown will protect more surface area on your tooth. After a short period of adjustment, your tooth will likely feel less sensitive with a crown than it would with a large filling.
4. It Can Save Your Tooth!
A crown may be your best option for halting decay and replacing the support your tooth has lost. A crown now could spare you a root canal or extraction next year. There is no replacement that quite equals your natural tooth!
Talk with your local dentist to find out why a dental crown is right for you!

Kroeze Krew. Rolling Down.
Kroeze Krew. Rolling Down.
Kroeze Krew. Rolling Down.
Rolling Down is a water 24' fall carved in wood and inspired by the words of Dr. Martin Luther King pronounced at the time of her last short speech before its tragedy assassination:
" Let justice go down downwards like water, right-hand sides, in a powerful flow. "
This descent to the bottom is also a reflection on the current events of our company, which accentuate the differences, tragedies coming from the ideologies of competition, the authorities which on-react, permanent suspicion and the actions which carry damage to all.
This work is an artistic call to the action concerning the study of the conflicts met in order to improve our communities while we live and thrive in a multicultural company, gathering the differences ethnic, religious, ideological, morals, economic and physics which characterizes the world of today.
This message is conveyed by the symbolism of 7 wood different going down downwards in a cascade, separated at the beginning, but which mixes then all together when they break with the bottom of the fall and which finally runs towards outside in a streaming without clash and diversified.
About Kroeze Krew.
Kroeze Krew is composed of Nick Kroeze the principal artist,
its sons Nicolas and Nathan and son-in-law Chet Glass.
They started to work together for the first time by carrying out a named work
" the Pond. " for Art Prize 2014.
They were very happy to share this experiment and found that
it was an excellent moment in the foundation of a family.

Five Ways Crossword Puzzles Boost Your Brain
Are you in love with the little black-and-white chequered box that comes with the newspaper every day? Are crossword puzzles your preferred brain-tickle while you get ready to face another morning?
Well, Crossword Puzzles Day is coming up on 21st December, and we just wanted to tell you, you're doing great! For Crossword puzzles are not just fun, they're great for your brain in several ways. Here are five ways doing crosswords boost your brain.
- Vocabulary building and memory – Crossword puzzles are a great way to learn new words – and their correct spellings – in a fun and engaging way. Doing crosswords everyday can expand your vocabulary greatly, and the exercise puts you in practice for learning new things outside crosswords. It also exercises your memory regularly, thereby improving your ability to recall and remember. All of this results in better verbal skills too, as a recent study published in the Irish Journal of Psychology found.
- Logical thinking and problem solving – Crosswords require many skills that we need in real life. It takes thinking creatively, it takes perseverance, and the ability to move logically – all of which are necessary for problem solving. Doing crosswords regularly hone these skills, and make you a better problem-solver in real life too.
- Relieves stress and anxiety – Crosswords are a great stress-buster. They take our attention away from the stressors and activate the reward circuit of positive neurotransmitters in our brain when we successfully complete one, which makes us feel good. It also gives us a sense of accomplishment which positively impacts our daily work. For people with Anxiety issues, crosswords can be a great grounding exercise. They help our minds to calm down and focus on processing the puzzle at hand, which can alleviate anxiety symptoms or at least take the edge off it.
- Improves Focus – Crosswords need continued attention and focus to complete them successfully. For people who are easily distracted, crosswords can be a fun way to practice focusing on one thing alone. Going through this practice regularly improves focus in other areas of life too.
- May help with Dementia/Alzheimer's – A study by University of California, Berkeley found direct correlation between engagement in mentally stimulating activities such as crossword puzzles and a lowered risk of memory-related diseases like Alzheimer's and Dementia. The study finds, doing these activities regularly prevents the build up of toxic proteins like beta-amyloid in the brain, which are the main component of the brain-plaques that characterizes Alzheimer's and related diseases of the brain. Although Alzheimer's is a complex disease and many factors contribute to its development, it seems keeping your mind stimulated with crossword puzzles will help and not harm the cause.
Conclusion Crosswords are challenging, fun, and a great activity to improve your mood with myriad benefits. So if you are not one of those puzzle-heads, try giving it a go this Crossword Puzzle Day. Who knows, you might start enjoying it. Trust us, your brain definitely will.

At least my ears are flat against my head. no tape or nothing, they just naturally don't protrude. Pretty awesome, huh?
My beard on the other hand...well it's not a beard...it's a scraggly group of rough unattractive hairs that protrude and darken my once creamy and wonderful facial skin.
25th Hour is a very well shot film that does not show up well on DVD. Too much detail in the backgrounds for the lower resolution TV set to handle it. You can tell that the cinematography is about 2 steps short of absolutely brilliant, but you can't see everything that should be on screen, and that's a shame. It's a really good film. Solid, polished, very watchable. I have to give Spike Lee his props for it, especially the way he moves away from the ideology that he's so associated with (and even the name of his film company.) This is a New York film, but it's a film about an Irish guy that's REALLY about an Irish guy, and while it has a few references to race in it, he lets the characters be white. I'm not sure he was capable of that when he was much younger. Way to go Spike, you've definitely increased my respect for you, even though I already liked a good deal of your work.
Edward Norton is a really excellent actor, almost a chameleon at times, but I don't think he's going to age well as a performer. I have no evidence or reasoning to support this, it's just a hunch. He's WONDERFUL in his 20's and 30s, but I don't know how he'll be in his 50's and 60's. I hope this is just an insane and totally unjustified thought.
How long would you have to be in a relationship before you would put up with your significant other being sent to jail? It's probably a matrix depending on what they did and how long they're going to be away for. If they're going away for a year for some minor drug offense, most people would feel compelled to wait after only a few years or even month of being together. They might cheat while the person was away, but they wouldn't openly disavow the relationship. If they were going away for longer for a heinous crime it'd be much easier to sever ties. You can dump a murderer with little remorse even if you have kids together. What I think the most difficult situation would be is long time but minor offense. Heck, what if your spouse got 25 to life for a murder that you KNOW he didn't commit because he was with you at the time, but he got convicted anyway? How would you deal with that? Could you really abandon him knowing that he's innocent, not just believing it but knowing it as fact? Could you handle waiting for a third of your lifespan while he languished? Would you know eachother when he came out? What if you wanted children, how would you go about dealing with that? I think the prison system is really rough and has a lot of problems. I'm not saying there's a better idea out there, but man oh man. On the other hand, I think what we really do need to do something about is improving the quality of our prisons. People in jail need a cleaner more supportive environment. I'm not advocating Club Fed like treatment, but jails should be clean and disciplined, treatment for psychological disorders and disease should be the norm. We need to crack down on prison rape and wipe it the fuck out. Prison should not be the same thing as hell.
The thing is, we are all of us unprotected. They could come at any time, especially with this government. I've never done anything illegal in my life, except for buying some porn when I was 16, hardly a jailable offense, but I've been shooting my mouth off online and laying into them. I'm not delusional, I don't think I'm on their radar at all or that they care about a fat slob New Yorker with an axe to grind to a couple dozen people who are willing to listen, but they eventually might. They do in China. And it's not even necessarily the feds that are the problem. People get pinched all the time by mistake and get sent up without a fair or honest trial. You think that the state of the prisons doesn't matter for you because you'd never do anything to earn a trip to one of them? Guess what, not all those trips are earned, a lot of them are undeserved, and the state of prisons is a concern for all of us. Not just for selfish reasons, of course, but they are a part of it. One of my paranoid fears is that I'll be in the wrong place in the wrong time, or say the RIGHT thing loudly enough Ashcroft's Jackbooters will take notice, and within a week I'll be lying on the floor bleeding out from a shiv to the liver. This is not a realistic danger, not yet. White skin and a Bronx birth certificate are a pretty good shield, but if I were darker or came from Lebanon, well it'd be a different game. I think that the prison system in this country definitely needs an overhaul, and one to make it better for the prisoners. Take out the cable TV, fine. Make them do work behind bars? Doesn't bother me. But it needs to be a safe, clean, healthy environment. Because like it or not, not everyone who ends up in the hooscow deserves to be there.
Of course we also need to stop locking up people for the horrible crime of living while black, something that Spike would probably agree with me on, but that's a different and even more profound issue. In many ways this country has not evolved past the horror that was the post-confederacy South.

What is lung cancer?Lung cancer results from abnormal growth of cells in the lining of the lungs, leading to the growth of a malignant tumour.
There are two main types of lung cancer – small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) – which differ in terms of their appearance under a microscope, how they grow and spread to other parts of the body and how they are treated. Approximately 85% of all lung cancers are NSCLC.
Lung cancer is usually fatal – the overall survival rate is about 17% at five years after diagnosis. The reason for the low rate of survival is that lung cancer tends to spread (metastasize) rapidly to other parts of the body very early after it first forms, (i.e. before it is diagnosed).
CausesThe development of lung cancer is strongly associated with cigarette smoking – approximately 90% of lung cancers are attributable to tobacco use. Pipe and cigar smoking can also cause lung cancer, but the risk is not as high as with cigarette smoking. Tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 chemical compounds, many of which are cancer-causing (carcinogens). Passive smoking, i.e. the inhalation of tobacco smoke by non-smokers who live or work with smokers, is also an established risk factor for the development of lung cancer.
Although the majority of lung cancers are linked to tobacco smoking, not all smokers go on to develop lung cancer suggesting that genetic susceptibility (i.e. indicated by a family history of the disease) may play a role in the development of lung cancer. Other causes of lung cancer include air pollution (from vehicles, industry, and power generation) and inhalation of asbestos fibres (usually in the workplace).
Signs, symptoms, and diagnosis
Symptoms of lung cancer are varied and warning signs are not always obvious. Some people who get lung cancer display no symptoms until the cancer is discovered during a routine chest x-ray or CT scan. In people who do display symptoms, these may include the following:
- Persistent cough and hoarseness
- Shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest pain
- Blood-streaked sputum
- Chest pain
- Frequent episodes of bronchitis or pneumonia
- Weight loss, weakness, and fatigue.
A wide range of diagnostic tests and procedures are used to diagnose lung cancer, including:
- taking a patient history
- physical examination
- blood tests
- imaging tests (chest x-rays; CT, PET and bone scans)
- bronchoscopy (to look inside the airways and take biopsies)
- cytological studies of sputum and bronchial washings (to detect cancer cells in phlegm and lung fluids)
- biopsy (sampling of lung tissue with a special biopsy needle or during surgery to see if it is cancerous).
Staging of lung cancerThe stage of a lung cancer refers to the extent to which the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Staging helps to determine how the cancer should be treated. Although lung cancer can spread to any organ in the body, the liver, brain, and bones are the most common sites. The two types of lung cancer are staged differently. A simplified overview of staging is as follows:
Stage I: cancer that is confined to the lung
Stage II: cancer that is confined to the chest
Stage III: cancer that is confined to the chest but with larger and more aggressive tumours than at stage II
Stage VI: cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
Limited-stage: cancer confined to the area of the chest
Extensive-stage: cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
TreatmentTreatment for cancer involves a combination of surgery to remove cancer cells, and chemotherapy and radiation therapy to kill cancer cells. Lung cancer is incurable unless complete surgical removal of the tumour cells can be achieved.
Surgery is the most effective treatment for lung cancer but is limited to cancers that have not spread beyond the lungs i.e. stage I, II and III NSCLC and in some patients with limited stage NSCLC.
Radiation therapy, which uses high-powered energy beams to kill cancer cells, may be used for both NSCLC and SCLC and is a good option for people who are not suitable for surgery or who refuse surgery. It can also be used after surgery to kill any cancer cells that might remain.
Chemotherapy, which involves giving drugs to kill cancer cells, is used for both NSCLC and SCLC. Chemotherapy drugs may be given alone or in combination with surgery or radiation therapy. Chemotherapy is the treatment of first choice for SCLC since it has usually spread extensively in the body by the time it has been diagnosed.
Also used in the treatment of lung cancer are molecular-targeted therapies. These are drugs (gefitinib, nivolumab and erlotinib) or monoclonal antibodies (cetuximab, bevacizumab) that block the growth and spread of cancer by interfering with specific molecules involved in tumour growth and progression. They are used in some patients with NSCLC that does not respond to standard chemotherapy. Molecular-targeted therapy drugs are often used in combination with standard chemotherapy drugs.
PreventionThe most effective measure that can be taken to prevent the development of lung cancer is to quit smoking. Reducing exposure to passive smoking is also an effective method of prevention.

The Cancer Information Helpline Service can be contacted on 0800 CANCER (226 237). Information can also be obtained from the Cancer Society website: www.cancernz.org.nz.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — With 49 days to go until the presidential election, President Donald Trump presided over the signing of diplomatic deals between Israel and two Gulf nations, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, on Tuesday.
Speaking to a crowd of hundreds of people gathered at the White House's South Lawn, Trump said that they are here to "change the course of history" and called it "an incredible day for the world."
"In Israel's entire history, there have previously been only two such agreements," Trump said. "Now, we have achieved two in a single month."
Trump and his allies hope that the ceremony will bolster his reputation as a peacemaker ahead of the election.
"This can lead to peace, real peace, in the Middle East," Trump said in the Oval Office before the ceremony as he welcomed Emirati Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the brother of Abu Dhabi's powerful crown prince.
"You can have peace without blood in the sand," Trump added.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Emirati and Bahraini foreign ministers signed the deals before the crowd, which included representatives of supporting nations from the Washington-based diplomatic corps but few other dignitaries from overseas.
Netanyahu spoke to the crowd about the death of his brother, Yonatan Netanyahu, who was killed in the raid on Entebbe Airport in Uganda in 1976 which saw 102 Israeli and Jewish hostages rescued, in addition to other in battle.
"For those who bear the wounds of war cherish the blessings of peace," Netanyahu said.
In addition to the individual bilateral agreements signed by Israel, the UAE and Bahrain, all three signed a trilateral document. The agreements are dubbed the "Abraham Accords" after the patriarch of the world's three major monotheistic religions.
The agreements won't end active wars but will rather formalize the normalization of the Jewish state's already warming relations with the two countries. And, while not addressing the longstanding Israeli-Palestinian conflict, they may pave the way for a broader Arab-Israeli rapprochement after decades of enmity, a pair of wars and only two previous peace deals.
Skeptics, including many longtime Mideast observers, analysts, experts and former officials, have expressed doubts about the impact of the deals and lamented that they ignore the Palestinians, who have rejected them as a stab in the back by fellow Arabs.
Yet even the harshest critics have allowed that they could usher in a seismic shift in the region should other Arab nations, particularly Saudi Arabia, follow suit, with implications for Iran, Syria and Lebanon. Other Arab countries believed to be close to recognizing Israel include Oman, Sudan and Morocco.
Bloomberg reported Monday that Qatar ruled out normalizing relations with Israel, saying that such a move "can't be the answer" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"We don't think that normalisation was the core of this conflict and hence it can't be the answer," Lolwah al-Khater, Qatar's foreign ministry spokesperson, told Bloomberg.
"These agreements are a huge accomplishment for the countries involved and have led to a tremendous sense of hope and optimism in the region," said Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, who led the negotiations. "Instead of focusing on past conflicts, people are now focused on creating a vibrant future filled with endless possibilities."
As for the Palestinians, "they have an offer on the table," Kushner told ABC's "Good Morning America." "At some point when they decide they want to live better lives, I believe they'll engage. But you know we can't want peace for them, for their people, more than they want it themselves."
The Palestinians have not embraced Kushner's vision.
A poll released Tuesday found that 86% of Palestinians believe the normalization agreement with the UAE serves only Israel's interests and not their own. Fifty-three percent of Palestinians described the agreement as a "betrayal" while 17% said it marked the "abandonment" of their cause.
The poll, carried out by the respected Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, found that 92% of Palestinians are opposed to Trump's Mideast plan. The poll, carried out Sept. 9-12, surveyed 1,270 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3%.
Palestinian activists held small demonstrations Tuesday in different parts of the West Bank and in Gaza, where they trampled and set fire to pictures of Trump, Netanyahu and the leaders of the UAE and Bahrain.
During a meeting with Netanyahu in the Oval Office, Trump told reporters that he believed that 5-6 more countries will join the deal with Israel.
"We're talking to the Palestinians, they'll join too," Trump added.
Earlier, Trump told reporters that he "stopped payment" to the Palestinians, saying that "they were not saying nice things for many years."
"Because if they're not going to respect us or if they're not going to speak well of us, we're not going to be involved," Trump said of the Palestinians.
Tuesday's ceremony follows months of intricate diplomacy headed by Kushner and Trump's envoy for international negotiations, Avi Berkowitz, that first bore fruit Aug. 13 when the Israel-UAE deal was announced. That was followed by the first direct commercial flight between the countries, and then the Sept. 11 announcement of the Bahrain-Israel agreement.
The specific contents of the individual documents to be signed were not known ahead of the ceremony. While officials said they would hew closely to the joint statements issued when the deals were first announced, it remained unclear if the agreements would require further action by the three governments or what binding obligations they would commit each to enforcing.
A senior White House official said Monday the UAE-Israel agreement would be longer and more detailed than the Bahrain agreement because there had been more time to finalize it. Still, the lack of clarity even a day before the ceremony has raised some suspicions about the durability of the agreements.
Even in Israel, where the accords have received widespread acclaim, there is concern that that they might result in U.S. sales of sophisticated weaponry to the UAE and Bahrain, thus potentially upsetting Israel's qualitative military edge in the region. Meanwhile, a politically vulnerable Netanyahu is facing questions about appearing at such a large event just days after he announced a new nationwide lockdown to fight a surge in coronavirus cases that will impose severe restrictions on movement and gatherings. The White House is encouraging those attending Tuesday's ceremony to wear masks.
And while the UAE and Bahrain have a history of suppressing dissent and critical public opinion, there have been indications that the agreements are not nearly as popular or well-received as in Israel. For one, neither country is sending its head of state or government to sign the deals with Netanyahu.
Bahrain's largest Shiite-dominated opposition group, Al-Wefaq, which the government ordered dissolved in 2016 amid a yearslong crackdown on dissent, said there is widespread rejection in the country of normalization.
Al-Wefaq said in a statement that it joins other Bahrainis who categorically reject the agreement to normalize ties with the "Zionist entity," and criticized the government for crushing the public's ability to express opinions "to obscure the extent of discontent" at normalization.
In the UAE, there has been speculation that Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, widely seen as the country's day-to-day leader and architect of the Emirati push to improve relations with Israel, is steering clear of the signing ceremony.
Although Emirati protocol dictates that the foreign minister and not the crown prince of a specific emirate be dispatched to represent the country in lieu of the UAE's president, who's rarely been seen in public since suffering a stroke more than six years ago, there's speculation the crown prince is not attending the White House ceremony for political reasons.
He may not want to be seen throwing too much of his support behind Trump weeks ahead of a U.S. presidential election in which the outcome is far from certain. While the pageantry of the White House signing ceremony offers Trump and Netanyahu a political triumph, Prince Mohammed faces neither reelection pressures nor protests at home.
The Emiratis may also be wary of appearing too close to Netanyahu, who publicly stated in August his opposition to the sale of U.S.-made F-35 stealth fighter jets to the UAE.
While the UAE has said that Israel not moving ahead with plans to annex West Bank settlements is a cornerstone of the agreement, Netanyahu has insisted that annexation is only suspended and remains on the table.

I recommend using the
.AppImage format since it allows you to use that single executable on the majority of Linux distributions. I am also not going to create
.deb executables anymore since they aren't universal and are proprietary to Debian distributions unlike
.AppImage executables which work on almost all of the distributions.
Installing Altus on Linux using AppImage is really easy. Follow these steps:
- Download and move the AppImage file to wherever you want to. E.g:
~/Downloads/Altus 3.0.0.AppImage
- You might need to make the file executable using chmod. Use:
chmod a+x ~/Downloads/Altus 3.0.0.AppImage
- Then simply run it. Use:
~/Downloads/Altus 3.0.0.AppImage
One thing to note is that Mac releases most probably will be late than the Windows and Linux releases as I do not own a Mac and my PC runs really slow when I use macOS on a VM.
To install Altus on a Mac, follow these steps:
- Download the
- Double-click it i.e. run it
- Drag the Altus icon onto the Applications folder

Working Papers:
'Building Trust from Code: Disclosure Commitment on Blockchains' (Job Market Paper)
Abstract: I investigate firms' decisions to make disclosure commitments before realizations of signals in the market for initial coin offerings (ICOs). The blockchain technology allows entrepreneurs to make irreversible decisions to disclose their transaction details with investors before the transactions take place. Such decisions are coded into computer programs, known as 'smart contracts,' which become immutable once deployed on blockchains. I manually collected and analyzed the 'smart contract' code of 2085 ICO projects. I find that ICOs that make disclosure commitments with this technology are more likely to reach fundraising goals and to deliver preliminary products, suggesting that the decision to disclose information, in addition to the content of disclosures, signals project quality. I also find that transaction volumes on blockchains predict ICO outcomes and that investors punish ICOs with suspicious volumes, e.g., volumes that show signs of automated trading. Collectively, these findings indicate that blockchains can function as a self-commitment device, which enhances firms' ability to convey private information to the market.
'Do CFO Personal Financial Status Affect Corporate Financial Reporting? Evidence from the Housing Market' (with Guangli Lu)
Abstract: We study the impact of CFO's personal financial status on corporate financial reporting. We measure CFO's financial status by tracking the value of their housing portfolios, which are constructed by matching CFO information to housing transaction data using the TF-IDF algorithm. We find that CFOs who experience declines in their housing values produce better financial statements, e.g., fewer accounting restatements. They also issue more conservative forecasts and engage in less accrual-based earnings management but more real earnings management. The results are more pronounced among firms with low institutional ownership and low analyst coverage. These findings suggest that recent deteriorations in financial status motivate CFOs to produce more conservative financial reports.
Working in Progress:
'The Asymmetric Reaction to Earnings Announcements for Dual-listed Firms' (with Emily Jing Wang and Jenny Li Zhang)
'Classifications of Crypto Assets in Financial Statements and Price Volatility'
