The Relentless Flow of Fate
By Kurt Llama Byron
An Inspector Glasheen Mystery
Cover design by Will Sutton
1960 was a good year for crime in the city. Street robberies were down; family violence was stable; and there hadn't been a single murder between New Year's Day and the end of August. Then, in September, a worrying spate of murders broke out across the city, over a few days. Public panic set in. Old certainties were shaken. What was the pattern to this set of murders?
Byron's novel introduces the enigmatic Detective Inspector Glasheen, in his forty-eighth year of life, and his twenty-first year as a detective in the Gardai, in Dublin City.
A series of murders awaits him at his new posting. And one in particular, the death of a sixteen year old youth, in his bed, at home, in a working-class suburb of the city, is destined to bring up Glasheen's own demons, from a very disturbed childhood in Arizona. The grief-driven war-dances of Sitting Bull's descendants throb just below the surface of this Irish-Indian story; the drumbeats of another time and another place threatening to drown out the outcry of Dubliners about murder and mayhem in their midst.

Acting greats – and real life friends – McKellen and Jacobi play Freddie and Stuart, a gay couple who have been living together in the same Covent Garden apartment for nearly fifty years and whose lives now basically consist of bickering with each other and walking the dog. The arrival of their new upstairs neighbor (played by Game of Thrones' Iwan Rheon) shakes things up a bit.
The first season received mixed reviews from critics, but premiered strongly, with 5.7 million viewers tuning in to its premiere back in April. While those numbers did fall off a bit over the course of the show's run, they remained fairly steady – and that fact, combined with the star power involved, makes the series' renewal not entirely surprising.
No hints have been dropped thus far about what about what a second season will look like, story or cast-wise. Jacobi, however, has previously speculated that production on Series 2 is unlikely to start before 2014, due to his co-star McKellen's busy schedule (the actor is currently doing a play with Sir Patrick Stewart that's headed to Broadway this Fall).
There's also no word about when we might expect to see the comedy transmit here in the States, though entertainment publication Deadline is reporting that "negotiations are under way", though it does not mention on which network we might expect to see it. Keep an eye out - and we'll keep you posted!
Are you curious to see Vicious for yourself? Excited about the prospect of a second season?

Sundance Film Review: 'Me and Earl and the Dying Girl'
Enthusiastically received at Sundance, this cancer-themed dramedy has the potential to outperform last year's 'The Fault in Our Stars.'

Official Site: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2582496/
Anyone who buys a ticket to a film called "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" goes in fully expecting to cry. It's sort of a given. The surprise, then, is the laughter: the near-constant stream of wise, insightful jokes that make it so easy to cozy up to characters dealing with a tough emotional situation. The story of a high-school senior forced to befriend a classmate who has just been diagnosed with leukemia, and the sincere, nonsexual connection that forms as a result (sorry, "The Fault in Our Stars," but there's no nookie here), this rousing adaptation of Jesse Andrews' novel is destined not only to connect with young audiences in a big way, but also to endure as a touchstone for its generation.
After landing a coveted spot on the 2012 Black List, the coveted assignment went to director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, who worked as a personal assistant to Martin Scorsese, shot second unit on such films as "Babel" and "Argo," and oversaw 20 episodes of "Glee" and "American Horror Story" for producer Ryan Murphy. Despite all that experience, there's nothing jaded about his approach here, which balances the new-toy giddiness of a first-timer (this is actually his second feature) with the wisdom of restraint in key areas. As such, he pushes the envelope with his dynamic camerawork and framing, but pulls back where others might have gone heavy, downplaying the sentimentality and music (from Brian Eno).
Premiering to a standing ovation at the Sundance Film Festival, "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" is the kind of movie that gives the Utah-based sprocket opera its sterling reputation among budding cinephiles — those who associate Sundance with films that defy formulas, take risks and resonate on a deeper level than the studio-made stuff they grew up on. Greg Gaines (Thomas Mann) is just the type of teenager who appreciates such movies. Maybe that's why he struggles with the best way to narrate it. His isn't the first "I'm with cancer" story to come along in recent years, although this one doesn't want to jerk tears. Rather, Gomez-Rejon and Andrews are determined to earn them — and they do, by making us care about the characters, starting with Greg.
He's a familiar enough guy, played by a normal-looking actor (you might recognize Mann from "Project X") with all the awkwardness we all feel in high school. Greg's coping mechanism is to make superficial friendships with all the different social cliques in school. He's good at telling people what they want to hear, but not so great at real human interaction, as evidenced by the fact he refers to his best friend, Earl (RJ Cyler), as his "co-worker." The duo spend hours together everyday studying and making short-film parodies of classic movies, most of which even dedicated film majors don't discover until college. (With titles like "A Sockwork Orange" and "Pooping Tom," they're all terrible, but that's sort of the joke, one that astoundingly never gets old.)
As hobbies go, such amateur filmmaking is designed to spare Greg the hassle of actually having to interact with his peers. He's especially terrified of girls, which makes the request from his mother (Connie Britton) to visit Rachel (Olivia Cooke) a particularly challenging one. Since the movie is committed to approaching this task with as much humor as possible, Gomez-Rejon casts Molly Shannon as Rachel's mom, who surely would have reminded underage Greg of "The Graduate's" Mrs. Robinson, if only he had ventured out a bit farther than the Criterion Collection (which gets primo placement throughout).
Rachel doesn't have any more interest in receiving pity than Greg does in doling it out, which explains how the two kids, who would never be friends under normal circumstances, manage to shift the focus to other things. Turns out Greg's a pretty funny guy (those punny movie titles notwithstanding), and as you probably guessed, he stands to gain at least as much from these interactions as she does. Still, it takes Earl's involvement to nudge the conversations into more personal territory — although he's been plenty candid with us since the beginning.
Finding Greg's voice must have been the hardest thing for Andrews, whose eloquent adaptation of his own novel could have turned out wildly different in the hands of another helmer — like Gus Van Sant, who took a more twee approach with his even more "Harold and Maude"-indebted terminal-teen drama "Restless." Meanwhile, compared with last summer's "The Fault in Our Stars," which Josh Boone directed with almost no sense of personal style, "Girl" practically erupts with technique: The camera hardly ever sits still, offering odd wide-angle perspectives and panning in big, self-conscious maneuvers with nearly every shot.
Such a flashy approach comes at enormous risk, obviously, since it draws attention to all the clever surface choices when we should really be trying to focus on the connections being made onscreen. But it also seems to fit a character who is himself an aspiring filmmaker. And it makes the few scenes in which Korean d.p. Chung-hoon Chung ("Stoker") holds steady and lingers on Greg and Rachel all the more effective. There are two scenes in particular where the jokes cease and these two fragile humans are allowed to reveal their true emotions, which serve to define the movie, in place of all those showy moments when the camera is busy rotating sideways as Greg walks to school or following him from the living room upstairs in one elaborately choreographed gesture. Still, Gomez-Rejon's tricks should help distinguish the film in the minds of those young viewers impressed by such innovative flourishes.
The same could be said for a few of the more eccentric supporting roles, including Greg's father (Nick Offerman, playing a culturally curious version of his usually brusque self) and heavily tattooed history teacher, Mr. McCarthy (Jon Bernthal). As Earl, newcomer Cyler stands out as well, evolving from comic relief to a sort of conscience figure as the relationship between Greg and Rachel deepens. It's refreshing to see that bond flourish as something platonic (romantically speaking, Greg is more interested in another classmate, played by Katherine Hughes), which also allows the film to depict Rachel's deterioration in a realistic way. There are plenty of young actresses who wouldn't dare to be seen bald, and a whole other group who would have made a big fuss of it, but Cooke approaches the role with quiet dignity.
And yet, none of this would have worked had the team not found the right Greg. The story demands someone with enough insight into other people's personalities that he can size them up in an instant, but not so much that he comes off as a jerk. Blending wit and modesty, Mann fits the bill, coming across as an overgrown kid with a good heart, but virtually no practice in relating to others — which is perhaps the thing that makes his experience so profoundly relatable.

RUSSIAN football expert John Bradley claims Liverpool are a much bigger draw for fans than Chelsea.
The Reds are currently gearing up for tomorrow's Europa League clash with Rubin Kazan at Anfield.
And Bradley claims the Kazan supporters are far more excited about their trip to Anfield than they ever were for the quarter-final with the Blues in 2013.
"There's huge excitement surrounding these games for Kazan because it's Liverpool FC,' Bradley told The Liverpool Echo.
"They see these two games as bigger than when they played Chelsea in the quarter-finals.
"The Kazan Arena hosted the World Swimming Championships back in July. They dug the football pitch up, put in the pool and put in temporary stands.
"They said they would eventually get around to turning it all back but there wasn't any great rush because of the small crowds Kazan were getting.
"Then they got Liverpool in the draw. The fans demanded that the game was played in the Kazan Arena so they have taken out the pool, rushed it all through and relaid the pitch to ensure it's ready for Liverpool's visit.
"They have turned it back into a football stadium purely because Liverpool are coming to town."

Ulocladium Species
You are here: Home / Knowledge Base / Ulocladium Species
(described by Preuss in 1851)
Order: Pleosporales
Family: Pleosporaceae
Genus: Ulocladium
Ulocladium is a dematiaceous filamentous fungus that inhabits the soil and decaying herbaceous plants. It is widely distributed in nature and may be isolated from paper, textiles, and wood as well. Ulocladium is commonly considered as a contaminant. It may very rarely cause human disease.
The genus Ulocladium has two active species; Ulocladium chartarum and Ulocladium botrytis. The morphological features of the conidiophores and the conidia aid in differentiation and identification of the two species.
See the list of active and obsolete names for Ulocladium spp.
Ulocladium spp. may cause phaeohyphomycosis and particularly subcutaneous infections.
Colonies of Ulocladium grow moderately rapidly. At 25°C and on potato dextrose agar, the colonies are wooly to cottony. From the front and the reverse, the color is olive brown to black [531, 1295, 2144, 2202].
Septate brown hyphae, brown conidiophores, and conidia are visualized. Conidiophores are simple or branched, smooth, strongly geniculate (bent at the points where the conidia are produced, leading to a zigzag appearence; "bent knee") and bear the conidia. Conidia (13-30 x 6-19 µm) are brown to black, round to oval in shape, smooth or rough and verrucous. They are usually egg-shaped and have a narrower base compared to its apex. These conidia are typically muriform and have transverse and longitudinal septations. They are solitary (Ulocladium botrytis) or may form short chains (Ulocladium chartarum). When chains are produced, a tubular, short outgrowth is formed on the conidia at the point of secondary conidium formation [531, 2144, 2202].
Histopathologic Features
Pale pigmented ellipsoidal structures may be observed. See also our histopathology page.
Alternaria
Bipolaris
Curvularia
Drechslera
Pithomyces
Stemphylium
Ulocladium differs from Alternaria by its strongly geniculate conidiophores, and the absence of beak-like tapered apex of conidia. It differs from Bipolaris, Curvularia, and Drechslera by producing muriform conidia. Ulocladium is differentiated from Stemphylium by having geniculate, sympodial conidiophores.
No special precautions other than general laboratory precautions are required.
Very limited data are available. Amphotericin B, ketoconazole, and itraconazole yield lower MICs for Ulocladium botrytis compared to Ulocladium chartarum. Flucytosine and fluconazole MICs are very high for both species [1853].

Cruise Ports: Cadiz, Spain Part 2
Candyce H. Stapen
The cruise port for Seville is Cádiz. Most vacationers travel the 68 miles (a 90-minute drive) from the ship to Seville, Anadalucia's capital city. But Cádiz, on the Costa de la Luz, and nearby Jerez de la Frontera offer places worth seeing. All it takes to capture the flavor of Cádiz is to walk.

The cruise port for Seville is Cádiz. Most vacationers travel the 68 miles (a 90-minute drive) from the ship to Seville, Anadalucia's capital city. But Cádiz, on the Costa de la Luz, and nearby Jerez de la Frontera offer places worth seeing. All it takes to capture the flavor of Cádiz is to walk.
Top 8 Cádiz Area Attractions
Experience a performance of the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art Foundation (Fundación Real Esuela Andalaluza del Arte Ecuestre), Jerez de la Frontera.
These are the mounts you've heard about. The white and dappled horses prance and trot, turning quickly in impossibly narrow spaces. Moving like four-footed ballet dancers, the horses, controlled by gifted riders attired in 18th century costumes, pace to flamenco and other rhythms. The steeds edge sideways on their rear legs and execute turns and bends with precision. Jerez de la Frontera is 21 miles from Cádiz. Check ahead for show times and reserve tickets.
In Cádiz
Stroll the seaside Promenade
To Cádiz, the sea is central. Situated on a peninsula, with the Atlantic on one side and the bay on the other, Cádiz grew from an old port town. Christopher Columbus started his journey to South America from Cádiz.
Admire the Plaza de España
The elaborate sculpture dominating the square commemorates the 100th anniversary of the 1812 constitution.

Walk the Old Town
Meander along the narrow streets of Old Town, breathing in the salty sea air, admiring the orange trees that line the squares. Shops and cafes line Columela, near the Flower Market, and Companía streets.
Visit the Cathedral (Catedral de Cádiz)
Begun in 1720 and completed in 1838, the baroque and neo-classical style cathedral features a dome of golden tiles and altars embellished with gold, silver and gems from the New World.

See the Central Market (Mercado Central)
Cádiz is known for its fresh seafood. In the market, built in 1838, vendors in stalls inside and along the outdoor arcade sell cigalas (langoustines), cuttlefish, eel, shark and tuna.
Museum of Cádiz (Musées de Cadiz)
Small, but interesting, this museum's highlights are the Phoenician and Roman artifacts, including gold jewelry and two Phoenician sarcophagi carved with the likeness of a man and a woman. She holds a bottle of perfume and he has an apple.

Look at the Roman Theater (Teatro Romano)
The Roman theater attests to Cádiz's centuries-old history. Although the facility is still being renovated, catch a glimpse of it through the adjacent interpretive center (Centro de Interpretación).

The Southwest Livingston County Wildkats are coming off a convincing Homecoming win last Friday night. Tonight's opponent is expected to be a little tougher. Rock Port comes to Southwest with a 4-2 record. Southwest coach Eric Fairchild says Rock Port runs the ball well, but can also has a passing attack if needed.
Rock Port has lost their last two games. Kick Off tonight is 7:00pm.


Melbourne, work, friends, dinners and drinks.
I bought the birthday girl flowers, I kicked the soccer ball with my brother and did a cameo at work – giving the boss the day off. I got recreational with my pals and used my best friend as an emotional sponge, don't worry I bought him dinner first. haha.
Returning to home more catchups are due, though its of grave import that I spend the next 6 days hunkering down and studying. There will be a balance struck. Exercise regime re-continues. Sleep will be vital to dissolve this strung out feeling.
Safe to go to ground.

Take direct action to support sex worker rights today!
Stop the Violence. Stop the Fear.
See us Here.
Mothers and daughters and
Teachers and lawyers and
Songs within our souls.
Brothers with dreams, and
Trans with means,
And a light inside us that grows.
Each have a story
With sadness and glory
Trying to make our way through
When the judgment fades,
And the hate abates,
We'll be standing right beside you.
Will you be standing beside us too?
WHAT IS 86 THE VIOLENCE ALL ABOUT AND WHY ARE WE DOING IT?
This year, the United States participated in a Universal Periodic Review (UPR) – a process set up by the Human Rights Council at the United Nations to assess the level of human rights in each country. The U.S. received more than 200 recommendations and must now decide to accept or reject each recommendation. Recommendation 86 called on the Obama Administration to "…ensure access to public services paying attention to the special vulnerability of sexual workers to violence and human rights abuses." This is the first time the US has been internationally called upon to address its insensitivity to the long-neglected issues faced by sex workers.
To capitalize on this momentous opportunity, sex worker support and advocacy organizations from all across the country have organized to move government officials to agree to accept the recommendation. As a part of our organizing efforts we have reached out to sex worker groups, academics, policy makers, community organizations, funders and NGO's around the globe and received unprecendented levels of support. (See the amazing list of folks who have signed our call to action below.)
On March 18th, the U.S. will go to Geneva to announce to the U.N. which recommendations they will accept and which they will reject. "86 THE VIOLENCE," a multi-city performance art action represents the culmination of sex worker advocacy efforts. We believe we have an opportunity to achieve high levels of media attention, which opens the door for us to let the world know in one solid, united voice, that violence and human rights abuses will no longer be tolerated in our community.
If the government accepts the recommendation, this action will serve as a celebration for having our nation's first major political promise to address the needs of sex workers. If they do not accept the recommendation, then this action will serve to spark a fire of outrage that will be fueled by media and all of the supporters that have come out to champion the cause. Either way, we believe the more sex workers and allies we can motivate to participate in this action, the more media attention we will receive, and the greater the likelihood that we can alter the conversation and public perception about sex worki in this country.
Join us in this public action performance on March 18th!
SWOP, Sex workers and allied organizations all over the country will be standing up and stripping down for recommendation 86!
Here's what you do:
1. Check if there is already a key organizer in your city. If there is no key organizer, email us, and we'll list YOU as the key organizer!
Key organizers will be contacted by our media team to help you identify media outlets in your area, and follow up.
If you are a key organizer, pick a location for the action that we can list on the website, and a contact name, number, and email address
"86 the violence" will take place at noon PST, 1pm MST, 2pm CST, and 3pm EST on March 18th, 2011 for 86 minutes!
2. Enact "86 the violence."
-You need AT LEAST one person to be a TARGET and one person to be SUPPORT/ INFORMATION. More people are better, 3 TARGETS and a few SUPPORTS are best to protect everyone involved.
-TARGETS dress up as shown in the video here . Draw a red bullseye somewhere on your body. Be as close to naked as is legally allowed on the street in your city, or that you are comfortable with. Tie red fabric around your eyes, your mouth or your hands. These three ties are symbolic and can mean many things about lack of access, silence, and invisibility. Infuse them with your own meaning.
Install the TARGETS on the street, in a park, or in any public place. TARGETS symbolically or verbally ask passerby to help us "86 the violence." this can be done by silently holding out a cloth that passerby can use to wipe the target off your body, or verbally asking.
-SUPPORT may dress in any manner classic to the sex worker rights movement. Wear red, carry red umbrellas, and have at least one or 2 umbrellas with the number 86 painted on the top. Print out the information we have HERE: literature to hand out to passersby and lyrics to our song. Perhaps keep the information to hand out in an upturned red umbrella.
3. The final action of the performance is to remove or cut off the red cloth, wipe off the targets, and leave the red cloth in the shape of the number 86 on the ground.
4. Take photos. Document the hell out of it, and send your documentation to us. We'll be making a montage of videos and photos to take to press as well.
notes: if staying installed in one place becomes and issue (a cop tells you to leave, or threatens you) make sure your group knows what it wants to do. We recommend taking the whole production on a walk. You can simply walk down the street slowly, to avoid loitering. The 86 minutes need not be in one place. We recommend wearing the smallest amount of legally allowed clothing (in many places, this is a thong, underwear or T-Strap and nipple covering). We recommend that ALL TARGETS wear the same amount of clothing/covering for continuity and gender alliance.

An operator has been named for the management of the hotel wing of the National Academy for the Performing Arts of Trinidad and Tobago (NAPA).
Responding to an urgent question during Tuesday's sitting of the Senate on behalf of Trade Minister Paula Gopee-Scoon, Leader of Government Business in the Senate Franklin Khan revealed that Cara Suites would manage and operate the 50-room hotel at NAPA.
The news follows an announcement by Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley in 2017 that Government was seeking to introduce a new style of management for NAPA and its Southern counterpart, the Southern Academy for the Performing Arts of Trinidad and Tobago (SAPA), located in San Fernando.
Rowley at the time expressed concern that the facilities were underutilised and stressed the need for its maintenance and its full and maximum use for national benefit.
Khan revealed that Cara Suites was successful in its proposal for the operation of the average-sized hotel, and negotiations with the preferred operator were 'well advanced', currently in their final stage.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, he said the hotel is expected to open for business later in 2019.
Further, management arrangements to be placed under the remit of the Ministry of Community Development, Culture and the Arts.
Prior to this, responsibility for NAPA was shared amongst different agencies.

Critics of agricultural antibiotics use the argument from authority once they point to European authorities rules banning agricultural use of explicit antibiotics similar to avoparcin in the Netherlands, and after they confer with statements by professional bodies such because the American Medical Association. Another kind of argument generally utilized in controversies is to level to authorities – consultants, skilled associations, governments – that have take positions in support of one's own. Endorsements sometimes follow each other in a bandwagon impact, with governments or skilled our bodies searching for guidance or drawing inspiration from one another.

Then each went to his own house, while Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. But early in the morning he arrived again in the temple area, and all the people started coming to him, and he sat down and taught them. Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery and made her stand in the middle. They said to him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?" They said this to test him, so that they could have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger. But when they continued asking him,he straightened up and said to them," Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he bent down and wrote on the ground. And in response, they went away one by one, beginning with the elders. So he was left alone with the woman before him. Then Jesus straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" She replied, "No one, sir." Then Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on do not sin anymore."
The Temple of Jerusalem was an awesome place: lots of arches, walls, towers, ornamented floors, and the great altar of sacrifice. It was there that Jesus used to teach during the day, while in the evening he retired to pray on the Mount of Olives. In the Old Testament "olives" are a symbol of the divine mercy and healing, a key to understanding this remarkable scene.
As Jesus resumes his teaching in this awesome structure, a woman is dragged in front of him. It does not take long for us to perceive that this is a trap; it did not take him long either. His enemies were becoming aggressive at this point and had figured out a clever plot to question him in such a way that he would have no way out. Whatever he said would be held against him. They would then accuse him and perhaps have him discredited.
The question was, "We have caught this woman in an obvious sin and the Law clearly states that such a woman should be stoned. What is your judgment?" If he said, "Don't stone her," he would be contradicting the Law. If he said, "Stone her," he would be contradicting the whole thrust of his teaching, which was that the author of the Law was Abba, the God of infinite compassion and concern for every living thing. This was a revolutionary idea. The God of Israel up to that time had been generally regarded as the God of armies, the God of thunder and lightning, the God of strict justice, Israel's Lawgiver. Jesus' idea of Yahweh transformed the Ten Commandments into a way of shaking people out of their habitual hang-ups.
Here is Jesus, then, confronted with a dilemma. If he says, "Don't stone her," he breaks the Law; if he says, "Stone her," then he is abandoning his own teaching. They keep urging him, "What is your answer?" He leans over and starts writing in the sand with his finger. How long this went on we don't know, but everybody was getting restless. What was he writing? What was he doing? Nobody really knew. Maybe he was simply passing the time of day, somewhat as students at a dull lecture doodle in their notebooks. Doodling is a gesture meaning, "I'm bored" or, "This discussion doesn't interest me."
His accusers were not about to let him out of the trap that they had so carefully fashioned. So they kept urging him, "Master, what is the solution to this difficult case?" At last he straightened up, looked around at those zealots of the Law and said, "Let the man who has no sin on his conscience throw the first stone." Then he bent down and continued to write in the sand.
Notice that he did not challenge their right to carry out the Law; he simply insisted on a condition: "Go ahead and throw stones provided you don't have any sin on your own conscience." They got the message and so the text significantly states, "One by one they began to leave beginning with the eldest."
As you get older, this business of salvation seems to become more and more elusive. The elder members of this group, with the experience of age, left right away, while the younger ones with their zeal got the message only by degrees. Finally, nobody was left except this woman and Jesus doodling in the sand.
At last he looked at her and, with the pointed irony that is so characteristic of some of Jesus' sayings, asked, "Where did everybody disappear to?" He knew perfectly well where they had gone. Perhaps he thought it somewhat humorous that their trap had been foiled by that statement of his. Then he asked, "Does anyone condemn you?" She said, "Nobody, sir." Notice she said "sir." She did not call him the Messiah or rabbi. She was honest. Since she did not have any faith, she just said, "sir," the way she might address any nice man.
Notice the respect Jesus has for this woman. He does not try to preach to her. He simply shows compassion by getting her out of the jam. He identifies with her in her humiliation. This is important for us to grasp in our own spiritual journey. Grace is the action and presence of Christ Jesus in our lives right now. As Christians we believe that, when the community is gathered for worship, Christ is truly present in his glorified body. Jesus identifies with sinners not by sharing their sins, but by sharing the consequences of their sins. Jesus ate with public sinners. Having a meal in common in the culture of the time was the symbol of belonging to that group of people, family, or nation. That is why the Pharisees were so shocked when Jesus ate with sinners. He was identifying with the outcasts of society -- not only with the oppressed who were unjustly rejected, but also with sinners who were rightly rejected. This means that just as Jesus identified with public sinners in the suffering that was the consequence of their sins, so he identifies with us in the sufferings that we endure because of our false self and our personal sins. We can unite ourselves to him in the full confidence that his mercy reaches out to the human misery that is the consequence of our personal sins. No matter how far we run from God, Christ is always there waiting for us. In the words of Abbé Huvelin, "Christ has so taken the lowest place that no one can take it from him."
The last point in this story is extremely interesting. It is another example of the teaching contained in the parable of the prodigal son. In that parable the father's love first takes care of the most obvious sinner, the prodigal. After we have heard about the father's great mercy toward that son, we hear about the self righteous older son who had always behaved himself in a respectful and dutiful way. He turns out to be the bigger sinner, but the father shows him equal mercy.
In this story we see Jesus offering his great mercy to the sinful woman, but notice that the words with which he rescued her are an invitation to the accusers to enter into their own consciences and to see what is wrong with them. The trouble with self righteous people is that they are just as much sinners as the people they condemn, only they do not know it. They are thus more difficult to help. When Jesus said, "Let the man without sin throw the first stone, "He is saying to the accusers, "How about looking into your own consciences?" He is asking, "What is your motive? Are you taking rightful responsibility for this act?"
God continues to love the oppressors as well as the oppressed. We will never be able to save the oppressed unless we have compassion on the oppressors. They also need salvation. This God of ours has no favorites; he is out to rescue everybody. Many oppressors have themselves been oppressed in early childhood.
The accusers of the woman thought they were upholding the Law; they did not recognize their hypocrisy in using the Law in order to entrap Jesus. He invited them to look into their consciences and face the pride that was motivating their malice. The basic question is always: What is your motive for this act? It is an invitation to conversion, to take full responsibility for ourselves, our community, nation, and religion. Jesus laid down his life for the human family. And it is by doing the same that we accept the call to follow him.

It is the first day of the month. It's time to back up your genealogy files. Then test your backups!
Actually, you can make backups at any time. However, it is easier and safer if you have a specific schedule. The first day of the month is easy to remember, so I would suggest you back up your genealogy files at least on the first day of every month, if not more often.
Of course, you might want to back up more than your genealogy files. Family photographs, your checkbook register, all sorts of word processing documents, email messages, and much more need to be backed up regularly. Why not do that on the first day of each month?


In March 2017, the Biri Initiative - a non-profit organisation based around Biri Island in - Northern Samar, the Philippines, began a coral restoration project to regrow some of the depleted coral reefs in the area.
Founded by Richard Ewen, proprietor of the Biri Island Resort, a team of dedicated local volunteers has been transplanting broken coral to steel frames, as well as constructing their own concrete reef buds to encourage coral growth. Project 250 is named for the 150 'Biri-buds' and 100 coral cages that the initiative intends to install.
Ewen became concerned when divers first began visiting the local reefs, to find them badly damaged, partly due to poor fishing practices, drag nets and anchor damage. They set about gathering resources as part of a self-funded initiative to help restore the reef.
Although coral is frequently described as 'fragile', it is remarkably resilient to damage if given the opportunity to re-grow. Branching corals, for example, are quite easily snapped and broken, but if the polyps are able to be relocated to an area where they can receive nutrients from the surrounding water, they will begin to regrow.
Part of the process involved in the Project 250 initiative is to take broken, but still living coral fragments, and affix them to the steel cages where they can be exposed to the movement of water and receive the all-important nutrients.
Once they have begun to 'bloom' again, the coral can then be transferred from the nursery and 're-planted' amongst the reef where they can start to regenerate properly. The process is not dissimilar to nursery trees which are grown and planted to counter deforestation on land.
The Biri initiative claims to have a 95 per cent success rate in terms of the amount of coral they have transplanted, and the number of Biri-buds which have begun to show signs of new coral growth.
In a drive to attract tourists, the coral nursery has been designed as an underwater park - a 5,000 square metre 'artificial seascaped habitat' to attract tourists who will be asked to pay a local government fee of up to 400 Philippine Pesos to visit, approximately £6 at the current rate of exchange. The income generated will be used to help police the Marine Protected Area, and also to fund marine education in local schools and colleges, with local villagers and children invited to participate in beach clean-ups and other conservation initiatives.
The project has started to attract the attention of the worldwide media, with several articles in dive magazines, as well as the participation of Solenn Marie Heussaf, a Filipina-French model, actress and TV host.
The project does not end with the creation of the coral nursery park. Along with the dedicated and time-consuming efforts to rebuild the reefs, Richard and his team have started work on providing mooring stations for local boats, to prevent further damage from anchors. Rescuing giant clams and removing the voracious crown-of-thorns starfish are also part of the initiative.
'This will be the benchmark,' says the team, one they hope can be replicated throughout the Philippines - and beyond.
The Biri Initiative is mostly self-funded and relies on charitable donations to succeed. To find out more about the Project 250 and the team, check out their website for more information and how to donate. A short preview of the park is in the YouTube link below.

Q: Pick A Character So That Every Character in the File Has Equal Probability of Being Chosen I'm reading a book called A Practical Guide to Quantitative Finance interview and got the following question and its solution, but cannot make sense of it, so I really appreciate your advice.
Question:
You have a file consisting of characters. The characters in the file can be read sequentially, but the length of the file is unknown. How do you pick a character so that every character in the file has equal probability of being chosen?
Solution: If there is a second character, we keep the first character with probability $1/2$ and replace the pick with the second character with probability $1/2$. If there is a third character, we keep the pick (from the first two characters) with probability $2/3$ and replace the pick with the third character with probability $1/3$. Here is my doubt: what is the meaning of "we keep the pick (from the first two characters) with probability $2/3$ and replace the pick with the third character with probability $1/3$"?, how can we make sure "we keep the pick (from the first two characters) with probability $2/3$"?

A: They mean, "Choose the first character.  If you encounter a different character, with probability $1/2$ keep the character you've already chosen, and with probability $1/2$, switch to the new character.  If a third character is encountered, switch to it with probability $1/3$, and don't switch with probability $2/3$.
It should be easy for you to see that if there are $3$ distinct characters, each has a $1/3$ chance of being chosen.  The same algorithm works with any finite number of characters: when the $k$ new character is encountered, switch with probability $1/k$.

How Companies Make Money
What Is the Development Stage?
Development stage refers to the first phase in the life cycle of a new business. During the development stage, companies focus on establishing themselves through activities such as market research, product development, and the construction of new manufacturing facilities.
The different phases in a business's life have been characterized by economists as the business's "life cycle". While the development stage is the first in this cycle, it is followed by periods of market introduction, growth, maturity, and decline.
The development stage is one of the stages in the life cycle of a new company.
The development stage is considered a very difficult stage and is characterized by a high probability of failure.
For investors with a high capacity and willingness to bear risk, development-stage companies can occasionally offer spectacular returns.
How the Development Stage Works
Development-stage companies have often not generated any revenues. At the same time, they may be incurring mounting expenses as they seek to ramp up operations. Development-stage companies are prone to chronic cashflow shortages and have a high rate of failure. Investors in development-stage companies must therefore have a high risk tolerance, and often seek to reduce their risk through diversification.
For investors who have the financial resources and temperament necessary to bear the associated risks, investing in development-stage companies can occasionally produce fantastic returns. Whereas most development-stage companies are unlikely to reach success, the few that do become successful can attain valuations that are tens or even hundreds of times that paid by their earliest investors. For this reason, venture capitalists (VCs) and other early-stage investors often find that a very small percentage of their portfolios are responsible for a large percentage of their overall return on investment (ROI).
The development stage is a famously difficult period in the life of any business, as the company's founders must attempt to develop their business model despite while also relying on relatively meager and uncertain financial resources. Oftentimes, early-stage investors will only provide funds in stages; the next installment of their funding is conditional on the achievement of specific performance objectives.
For developing companies, this uncertain funding outlook can make it challenging to attract and retain new customers and employees who may be reluctant to sign contracts with a company that might prove unable to deliver on its promises. Similarly, investors face a very high risk of failure when backing development-stage companies because these companies' business models are still relatively untested. When these investments fail, moreover, investors often lose all of their invested capital.
Example of Development Stage
An example of a development-stage company was Pebble Technology, an early product innovator in the market for wearable devices. Pebble Technology created one of the first commercially viable smartwatches, attracting widespread attention through its successful crowdfunding campaigns.
Through its flagship product, the Pebble Watch, the company attracted growing demand from consumers before encountering cashflow difficulties in its attempts to scale up production. Eventually, Pebble Technology became insolvent and sold off its assets to its competitor, Fitbit (FIT).

What Does Adventure Capitalist Mean?
The term "adventure capitalist" is colloquially used to describe venture capital (VC) investors who have particularly high risk tolerances.
Venture Capitalist (VC)
A venture capitalist (VC) is an investor who provides capital to firms with high growth potential in exchange for an equity stake.
What Is Venture Capital?
Venture capital is money, technical, or managerial expertise provided by investors to startup firms with long-term growth potential.

So you have been organised this year and have prepared the Income Tax Return for your small business. Last year was a great year, which means that you are stuck with a tax bill. At first you think lets lodge it on the last day so I can defer paying the tax as late as possible.
What does this mean for the quarterly PAYG Instalments you have to pay?
A small business works out the taxable income for the year ended 30 June 2014 is $100,000. Company income tax on this is $30,000.
The company has paid quarterly PAYG Instalment of $2,000 per quarter. The total PAYG Instalments is $8,000.
On this basis, the balance of the income tax payable when the return is lodged is $22,000.
(a) If the income tax return is lodged in the September 2014 quarter, the quarterly PAYG Instalments going forward will be approximately $7,500 per quarter.
(b) If the income tax return is lodged in the December 2014 quarter, the quarterly PAYG Instalment for the December quarter will be approximately $13,000, then $7,500 for the following quarters.
(c) If the income tax return is lodged in the March 2015 quarter, the quarterly PAYG Instalment for the March quarter will be approximately $18,500, then $7,500 for the following quarter.
for the June quarter will be approximately $24,000.
Bear in mind for the above example that the quarterly instalments remain at $2,000 per quarter until the income tax return is lodged.
So in summary, once a return is lodged, the ATO will reassess the quarterly PAYG instalments. We just need to be aware of how this is calculated so business cash flow for the rest of the financial year is not so lumpy.

Q: What is the proper way to sanitize a password? How can I sanitize a string that receives a hash+random salt?
I can remove the white spaces, check the length and use mysqli_real_escape_string, but is it sufficient? The filter_var is really  useful but it can't help in this case, right?

A: If you are going to put the variable in an SQL query, then you either need to call mysqli_read_escape_string or (even better!) use prepared statements.
There's no other sanitization you need to do. However, if the value will be coming from freeform user input (e.g. a text box instead of a drop down menu) then you may also want to trim whitespace and lowercase it as a courtesy to the user (to correct accidental mistakes they might make). It really depends on the application.

A: Just to be clear, you're receiving from an un-trusted source a hash (effectively random data) + salt (actually random data), and you want to 'sanitize' it?  There is probably a definition of sanity that applies (a data format like base64 encoding, a maximum / expected length), but I strongly suspect there is a functional security mistake in there somewhere.
Most notably, why are you accepting a hash+salt from an un-trusted source, rather than accepting a password and doing the transformation within your trusted environment?  Accepting a hash+salt from an un-trusted source probably turns them into plain-text equivalents (you lose the benefit you got from hashing and salting the original password).

A: First validate that the password matches your given validation rules. You can use a regular expression for this. Often passwords may consistent of a-z, 0-9, perhaps some punctuation and must be within a certain length - say 6-12 characters. Use preg_match() to validate the string for its contents and length. Something like preg_match('/^[a-z0-9]{6,12}$/i',$pass) might be a start.
Next you can hash the password. You may use the function crypt() to do so. This will create a one-way encrypted string that you can use to compare against later when the user attemps to authenticate.
Finally, to store the password, yes using mysqli_real_escape_string() will do the trick to prepare it for use in your SQL insert or update statement.


Bull Run's spacious fields accommodate groups by the hundreds, even thousands, for picnics, camping or special events. Bull Run's scenic woodland and trails offer miles of hiking and solitude. Come see us!
This is a large community park just off I-66 about ½ hour west of Washington, DC. The park has huge open areas, picnic pavilions and a water park. The campground is wooded with nice sized site pads. The driveways are asphalt in good condition and the site pads are gravel. We had a large "pull along" site with 50 amp electric plus water. A dump station is available. The bathrooms are nice and super clean. We paid $44.76 per night.
Nice park, but a long road that is narrow and winding for RV's. No Wi-Fi and No cable TV, (antenna TV worked ok) Biggest drawback is a shooting range that is part of the park that cranks up at 9 AM and is very noisy. >>all day. If you want to experience what the noise level was like in the Civil War, well this is the place for you. The facilities and sites were fine.

Violence against women: an urgent public health priority
Claudia Garcia-MorenoI,*; Charlotte WattsII
IDepartment of Reproductive Health and Research, World Health Organization, 20 avenue Appia, 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland
IILondon School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, England
Violence against women has been described as "perhaps the most shameful human rights violation, and the most pervasive."1 Addressing violence against women is central to the achievement of Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 3 on women's empowerment and gender equality, as well as MDGs 4, 5 and 6.2 It is also a peace and security issue. In spite of this recognition, investment in prevention and in services for survivors remains woefully inadequate.
Research on violence against women - especially male partner violence - has increased. Since 2005, when the first results of the World Health Organization (WHO) Multi-Country Study on Women's Health and Domestic Violence3 were launched, the number of intimate partner violence prevalence studies increased fourfold, from 80 to more than 300, in 2008. We now have population-based prevalence data on intimate partner violence from more than 90 countries, although there are still some regions - such as the Middle East and west Africa - where there is relatively limited data. Similarly, there is also a growing body of evidence about the range of negative health and development consequences of this violence.
Women suffer violent deaths either directly - through homicide - or indirectly, through suicide, maternal causes and AIDS. Violence is also an important cause of morbidity from multiple mental, physical, sexual and reproductive health outcomes, and it is also linked with known risk factors for poor health, such as alcohol and drug use, smoking and unsafe sex.4, 5 Violence during pregnancy has also been associated with an increased risk of miscarriage, premature delivery and low birth weight.6, 7
When the cumulative impacts on mortality and morbidity are assessed, the health burden is often higher than for other, more commonly accepted, public health priorities. In Mexico City, for example, rape and intimate partner violence against women was estimated to be the third most important cause of morbidity and mortality, accounting for 5.6% of all disability-adjusted life years lost.8 In Victoria, Australia, partner violence accounted for 7.9% of the overall disease burden among women of reproductive age and was a larger risk to health than factors such as raised blood pressure, tobacco use and increased body weight.9
In addition to the human costs, research also shows that violence has huge economic costs, including the direct costs to health, legal, police and other services. In 2002, Health Canada estimated that the direct medical costs of all forms of violence against women was 1.1 billion Canadian dollars.10 In low-resource settings, relatively few women may seek help from formal services, but because of the high prevalence of violence, the overall costs are substantial. In Uganda, for example, the cost of domestic violence was estimated at 2.5 million United States dollars in 2007.11
The broader social costs are profound but difficult to quantify.12 Violence against women is likely to constrain poverty reduction efforts by reducing women's participation in productive employment. Violence also undermines efforts to improve women's access to education, with violence and the fear of violence contributing to lower school enrolment for girls. Domestic violence has also been shown to affect the welfare and education of children in the family.
This growing understanding of the impact of violence needs to be translated into investment in primary, secondary and tertiary level prevention: including both services that respond to the needs of women living with or who have experienced violence and interventions to prevent violence. WHO has recently published Preventing intimate partner and sexual violence against women: taking action and generating evidence.1-3 This publication summarizes the existing evidence on strategies for primary prevention, identifying those that have been shown to be effective and those that seem promising or theoretically feasible. The review highlights the urgent need for more evidence on effective prevention interventions and for integrating sound evaluation into new initiatives, both to monitor and improve their impact and to expand the global evidence base in this area. It recognizes how infant and early childhood experiences influence the likelihood of people later becoming perpetrators or victims of intimate partner and sexual violence, as well as the need for early childhood interventions, especially for children growing up in families where there is abuse. It also recognizes the importance of strategies to empower women, financially and personally, and of challenging social norms that perpetuate this violence. Laws and policies that promote and protect the human rights of women are also necessary, if not sufficient, to address violence against women. In addition, health and other services need to be available and responsive to the needs of women suffering abuse. Concerted action is needed in all of these areas, but there is limited research on the most effective approaches.
To help address this gap, the Bulletin would like to invite submissions of papers describing research that addresses violence against women. We are particularly interested in research with a strong intervention focus, including ways to get violence against women onto different policy agendas and lessons about how to address some of the challenges policy-makers face; innovative approaches to prevention or to service provision, including community-based programmes in both conflict- and crises-affected and more stable settings; research to address more neglected forms of violence against women, and evidence on the costs and cost-effectiveness of intervention responses. Descriptive research that contributes to a better understanding of the global prevalence and costs of violence, or that provides evidence about the root causes of such violence will also be considered.

Travel is tough for the environment – we know that. People will continue to travel regardless, and a growing middle class will burden destinations more and more. However, the traveling tribes of the future will not be formed based on age and nationality – they will be based on values *. And with some help (from Tripsteri) those values can be harnessed to maximize socio-cultural and economic benefits and minimizing waste in destinations. Tripsteri wants to be the champion for value based travel – making it easy for people to respect local culture and the environment.
Our Tripsteri guides are filled with honest, curated content, and stories that dive deep into the roots of local communities: steering away from the masses, promoting local products and businesses and making sure healthy choices are easily available. We also include popular sites that are important for understanding local heritage, but encourage visiting them by foot, bike or at least by using public transportation. We believe the world will not be changed by banning or moralizing – we believe people will make smart choices if they are made easy and fun. That's why we invest in new technologies, like audio guides, 360-pictures and virtual reality that enable people to make the trip even from your own sofa. So if you travel – travel with us!
Sustainability is built by making responsible choices – even small ones!
Tripsteri also promotes non-discrimination and equality in travel. All of our writers are committed to following our ethical code.
All of our recommendations fulfill one or more aspects from our ethical compass.
We promote destinations that are friendly to minorities and pay attention to the needs of disadvantaged and marginalized groups.
We aim to include places that have wheelchair access.
We promote accommodation with sustainable and ecological practices.
We promote cafes and restaurants that offer local and seasonal produce, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and dairy free alternatives.
We do not recommend sights and experiences using child labor or cause pain to animals or destruction to the nature.
We warn about places that are very crowded. Masses of people in one place can cause congestion in the local community, and erosion of the nature or historical sites.
We promote shops by local entrepreneurs and shops that sell locally produced products and artifacts.
We promote ethical and responsible businesses.
With Tripsteri, making responsible choices is easy and fun – enjoy travel while respecting local culture, local life and the nature.

Epimetopus transversoides — вид жуков рода Epimetopus из семейства Epimetopidae. Эндемик Перу.

Описание
Водные жуки мелкого размера, вытянутой формы, слабо выпуклые. Длина тела около 1,5 мм. Голова чёрная, дорзум коричневый или красно-коричневый, вентер и тазики темно-коричневые. Габитус этого вида очень похож на габитус некоторых других представителей группы E. costatus; отличается строением эдеагуса, который имеет срединную лопасть, несколько сходную по общей форме с E. transversus, но значительно короче и иначе оформленную на вершине, а внутренний мешок различен по протяженности и скульптуре у двух видов, будучи более узким и с более плотными спикулами у E. transversoides. Парамеры сходны по форме у обоих видов, но у E. transversus они длиннее по сравнению с длиной базальной части. Углубления передних тазиков закрытые сзади; метастернум с однообразной скульптурой, без отграниченной гладкой области. Пронотум нависает над головой в виде выступа. Усики состоят из 9 антенномеров. Глаза крупные. Лапки 5-члениковые.

Таксономия
Вид был впервые описан в 2012 году в ходе родовой ревизии, проведённой американским колеоптерологом Филипом Перкинсом.

Q: Apt refusing to install kernel firmware package from Debian backports In trying to get my Ryzen integrated GPU working properly, and ultimately in trying to set the screen resolution above 1024x768, my understanding is I need at least Linux 4.15.
I am using Debian Stretch, which is on 4.9. So I hear about "backports" (https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/) and am told to add the line:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main

to /etc/apt/sources.list. I have done this, and I've run apt-get update.
This made a 4.17 kernel image (linux-image-4.17.0-0.bpo.3-amd64) available in the package manager, which I happily installed, and the kernel boots and runs fine.
The next error message is:
[drm:amdgpu_pci_probe [amdgpu]] *ERROR* amdgpu requires firmware installed
See https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware for information about missing firmware

Okay..... So I need to upgrade the kernel firmware package to the backported version too.
Here I am stuck.
I can't see any backported version of any firmware packages in Synaptic. The Debian backports instructions page suggests using the -t (target?) parameter with apt-get to choose the backports repository or whatever it is, but it's not bringing any success.
Here are the commands I'm running:
root@debian:~# apt-get -t stretch-backports install firmware-linux
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package firmware-linux is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  firmware-misc-nonfree

E: Package 'firmware-linux' has no installation candidate

root@debian:~# apt-get -t stretch-backports install firmware-linux-nonfree
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package firmware-linux-nonfree is not available, but is referred to by another package.

E: Package 'firmware-linux-nonfree' has no installation candidate

root@debian:~# apt-get -t stretch-backports install firmware-misc-nonfree
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
firmware-misc-nonfree is already the newest version (20161130-3)
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 212 not upgraded

root@debian:~# apt-get -t stretch-backports install firmware-linux-free
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
firmware-linux-free is already the newest version (3.4)
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 212 not upgraded

I don't know which of the packages I'm trying to install is the one I really want, but the point is apt is not seeing any of them. But I know they exist, because they're listed online: https://packages.debian.org/stretch-backports/firmware-linux (version: 20180518-1~bpo9+1).
I've been trying since last night to persuade apt to acknowledge that fact, with no success.
The lines in my sources.list are:
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stretch-backports main

A: The firmware-linux is a non-free software. You should add non-free to your URLs.
Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list as follows:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ stretch/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main contrib non-free

### backports###

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main contrib non-free

To install the package from backports:
apt update
apt -t stretch-backports install firmware-linux

Q: Fusion (Typoscript 2): How to access a variable from a parent object? This is sort of a follow-up question for How to define and access local variable in Typoscript 2 (Neos)?
If I define a local variable, called myLocalVar in the example below, how can I access it from other objects, in this case from Neos.Fusion:Case?
prototype(Some.Namespace:SomeNodeType) < prototype(TYPO3.Neos:Content) {
    myLocalVar = ${String.split(q(node).property('example'), '/', 2)}

    myResult = Neos.Fusion:Case {
        a = Neos.Fusion:Matcher {
            condition = ${???.myLocalVar[0] == 'aaa'}
            renderer = 'first part is aaa'
        }
        b = Neos.Fusion:Matcher {
            condition = ${???.myLocalVar[0] == 'bbb'}
            renderer = 'first part is bbb'
        }
    }
}

In this concrete example: How can I access myLocalVar from inside Neos.Fusion:Matcher?
The part in question is the condition: condition = ${???.myLocalVar[0] == 'aaa'}

A: You need to define your myLocalVar as context variable:
@context.myLocalVar = ${String.split(q(node).property('example'), '/', 2)}

the context is inherited by all nesting objects, so you can just access the value like this
a = Neos.Fusion:Matcher {
    condition = ${myLocalVar[0] == 'aaa'}
    renderer = 'first part is aaa'
}

Angela Adams: Perspectives on Public Art
To the casual observer, the metal rods and concrete spheres that comprise the centerpiece of Nancy Holt's installation at Dark Star Park seem little more than an odd vignette of fallen stars. But at precisely 9:32 am every August 1st, the shadows cast from this collection of elements aligns perfectly with the corresponding shapes in the ground, as a commemoration of the date in 1860 when Henry Ross acquired the land on which the park sits, in the neighborhood that bears his name.
by Liz Georges
It was the multi-faceted nature of Holt's installation, as well as the unprecedented level to which the work was integrated into plans for the surrounding buildings, that made Dark Star Parka groundbreaking work in public art, and a fitting choice for Arlington County as its first major public art commission in 1979.
For Angela A. Adams, Arlington County Public Art Administrator, the project remains a benchmark against which other public art projects are evaluated. "It was the guiding spirit in writing the goals of our Public Art Policy, which talks about an integrated approach to public art in terms of our architecture, parks and infrastructure. We continue to aspire to do projects that are of the caliber of Dark Star Park, and it continues to challenge us to work at that level."
Integration and partnership are recurring themes when Adams talks about the projects she's working on, and what she hopes they will achieve. Ultimately, she views her role as helping her County colleagues and private developers and other working partners to realize the role public art plays in good civic design and placemaking. "We work closely with planners, engineers, design professionals and project managers to really truly understand what the needs and constraints of the project are, so that our recommendations fit within the tolerances of that project – how fast it needs to be delivered, the budget, and the needs of the community."
Artists wanting to get involved in public art, according to Adams, face a challenge because of the collaborative nature of the work. "We really need a lot from the artist in terms of previous experience and knowledge working as a member of a design team with other design professionals," she says. Being able to convey their ideas effectively to project engineers and other design professionals, even the ability to read plans and do computer-assisted drawing are some of the skills artists need to effectively function as part of the team. "We tend to be looking for artists who can bring design problem solving to the table, using their skills as artists."
Adams refers to the Wave Arbor sculpture by San Francisco artist Doug Hollis recently installed as part of Arlington's new Long Bridge Park as an example of how an artist's contribution can really enhance a project. Phase 1 of the park will open to the public on Saturday, November 5th, with a dedication ceremony at 11 am. Long Bridge, when completed, will convert the former industrial area into a park that will feature an aquatic center, playing fields, a water retention rain garden and an esplanade along a portion of Route 1 that has gorgeous views of Washington's memorials. "We feel that Doug's contribution in Wave Arbor is a way of making a really nice park design even better. It provides vertical marking to what is largely a horizontal project, and it responds to the site, by capturing the movement of the wind and changes in sunlight. There's also a solar capturing element that will power LED lights on the sculpture at night," Adams says. "The artwork adds drama and distinction."
When it's working right, the spaces that are created "mark where civic facilities are in a way that makes people feel first of all, oriented, and second of all, proud of where they are," Adams says. Given that Arlington continues to grow, becoming more densely populated, enhancing that sense of community becomes even more important. "Each of these projects is an opportunity to make our civic places, our streets, buildings, and our infrastructure as enjoyable as possible."
Come hear Angela A. Adams, as well as art consultant Jean Efron, artist Margaret Boozer and architect Valerie Hassett discuss the making of public art on November 2, 2011 at the Baltimore Convention Center, 2-3pm. "Public Art: Fitting a Team Together" will be presented in partnership with the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the International Interior Design Association as part of WPA's "No Artist Left Behind" program. To attend the panel, please email an RSVP to Liz Georges at lgeorges@wpadc.org.
