With five duets involving partners related in life by blood, marriage or friendship, Dance Lovers, presented two weekends ago at the Joe Goode Annex, provided an in depth -and local- elaboration on the idea. Curated by Bay Area choreographer and performer James Graham, the program included duets by Melissa and Elizabeth Castaneda, Chris Black and Courtney Moreno, Caroline Alexander and Andrew Ward and a piece choreographed by Ashley Salter for dancers Mary-Kate O'Sullivan and Katie Florez.
The dance contained thoughtful self-referential moments, where the performers disclosed possible ways of making. At one point, Grubb sits down on a chair and begins telling Graham, and the audience, that he wants to make a piece with him. He goes through several scenarios of possible duets, one that includes "being completely honest." The sentence "I want to make a piece with you" becomes a mad refrain, repeated over and over, as the rhythm of the movement accelerates, and Graham simultaneously performs a solo in a circle. Grubb eventually comes into contact with him and the interaction becomes increasingly forceful, to the point where Grubb pins Graham to the floor, smothering his body. It is as if the desire for collaboration -and/or for the other- eventually becomes so overwhelming that it literally crushes the object of desire, a not uncommon scenario in relationships, whether personal or professional.
In another self-referential moment, Graham acts out choreographic directions. In one of the tasks he gives to Grubb, he asks him to "touch [his] face like it's not a face" and one sees Grubb's hand kneading, rubbing, poking, and pulling Graham's face, turning the body into a malleable material to be sculpted and processed. The moment echoes another scene where Graham stands facing the audience and performs a bio-historical tour of his body, pointing out the origins of his scars and alterations -the back of his ears pulled back when he was a child as a parental precaution for him not to be teased, a back injury during a rehearsal… At the same time Grubb touches those places that hold memory; the body reads as a time capsule holding both the personal and the public seamlessly.
In a stunning moment, Grub and Graham's bodies become parts of a kinetic construction game. Grubb's cheek is on the floor. Graham brings his head on top of Grubb's. Grubb removes himself and stacks his head on top of Graham's. The process continues, as the two performers carefully build a tower of fleeting imprints and newly found structures, a hint at the construction process of collaboration and the ephemerality of movement. At the end, Graham stands tall, and Grubb, smaller but resourceful, jumps on Graham's back and places his head on top of Graham, like two children at play.
Graham's smooth and mesmerizing way of moving take roots in his study of Gaga, while Grubb's effortless physicality comes from his training in various techniques, including contact improvisation and capoiera . Most recently, Grubb appeared in choreographer Scott Wells' the why we ask why we dance dance, demonstrating his astonishing ease with daring flips and acrobatic moves; last Spring, Graham instilled the end of choreographer Hope Mohr's Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction with a wondrous vitality. In Michael & Roland though, their physicality was less outwardly, more internal. It is as if they were tuning into each other, finding a common language, thus pointing to how collaboration, not unlike friendship or love, is a process of moving toward the other.
Michael & Roland will be featured in an evening of duets presented by James Graham at ODC Theater in December 2015.
Next week, belly dance artist Jill Parker and flamenco choreographer Danica Sena are performing at Dance and Diaspora at ODC Theater. Beyond sharing the stage, both American artists share a passion for a dance form which roots are embedded in a culture foreign to theirs. Talking with Sena last week and Parker this week reminded me how we often find kinship, essential parts of ourselves and a sense of home in a community whose background is different from ours. How much of its cultural elements do we appropriate? And in doing so, how do we transform them? Parker talks further about finding sisterhood among the belly dance community and incorporating her own socio-political and artistic influences into this dance form which originated in the Middle East.
Marie Tollon: What was the inspiration for the name of your company, Jill Parker and The Foxglove Sweethearts?
Jill Parker: It's not anything specific to belly dance. I wanted to have a name for the company that can capture the imagination, with some colorful visuals and a kind of sentimental and nostalgic quality. There are a lot of dancers who are far more produced than I am but I am really interested in maintaining a rapport with audiences that is very heartfelt. That's where the 'sweetheart' comes from. I was a florist for many years and I love flowers. Conceptually, I thought that foxglove is such an interesting word, with the fox on the one hand and the glove on the other. Foxgloves are also poisonous flowers: a beautiful, intriguing visual thing but there is a power behind it that you need to be careful of.
MT: How did you come to belly dance?
JP: When I moved to the Bay Area, I was quite young and extremely socially awkward. I had a difficult time finding a job and making friends because of that. I worked in a café and met a couple of girls working in retail in the same stretch in Noe Valley. They had just started attending a newly created belly dance class at a community church nearby and they convinced me to go with them. I found an amazing sisterhood: women of different ages, very unique and very beautiful in this fiercely, independent sort of way that resonated for me. It both tamed me and helped me come out of my shell because I felt I found a family. The teacher was Carolena Nericcio who founded the dance style ATS -American Tribal Style®- and the dance company FatChanceBellyDance. It was a huge movement in dance in the late 80s, throughout the nineties and it continues to thrive today. It has made a big mark on belly dance in the Bay Area and beyond. I was lucky to be on the ground level of this pivotal company. When I found that [community], belly dance quickly became the priority.
MT: So you trained with the desire to become a performer?
JP: FatChanceBellyDance has since become a very professionally run organization but at the time, things were just beginning to be established. Very early on, even if I wasn't dancing, I was invited to play finger cymbals, to hand drums, etc. I didn't have a lot of these skills but they were training me and bringing me up. Very soon, I was performing, for better or for worse!
MT: You are the founder of the modern Tribal Fusion belly dance movement. What styles does it incorporate?
JP: The ATS® swept the nation first, and then the world. It's followed worldwide. When I made a departure from the company, it was not my intention to create an offshoot branch or a methodology. ATS® is extremely stylized and referencing folk forms from a time that they were not that accessible. It was incredibly difficult to get your hands on a VHS recording of something in Morocco or Egypt. We would have seen and watched a million times the very few that were out there. Often you would find images in old books or National Geographic magazines and create a dance out of static images. ATS® was the semi-fictionalized ethnic dance form that was stylized and codified to be an improvisational format with a lead and follow, and never choreography.
When I moved away from ATS®, I thought about all my other influences, such as queer culture, arts culture, underground sub culture, and my deep love of things vintage, particularly the jazz and Victorian eras and art deco. So I started blending in much more these types of silhouettes, in the costuming and to some degree in the music. In my earlier experimentations, I was using everything from opera to experimental music, and performing with live experimental bands. After a lot of incubation, and really inspiring collaborations, I settled on some styles and techniques that were specific to me. As things became much more widely available through the Internet, I also became interested at classical Egyptian, specific folkloric styles and learning the actual dances. Some elements of these are also coming in too. Where ATS® is at the very strong and fierce feminist end of the spectrum, I was softening into a softer image of a woman still feminist but comfortable with embodying [her] femininity and sensuality. It doesn't feel disempowering.
MT: Can you tell me a bit more about the work you are presenting at Dance and Diaspora?
JP: I'm doing some pieces that give a nod to classic belly dance with my own take and stylizations. I change the silhouette, the hands or the arms to reflect my love of vintage, the 20s, 40s and Victorian time. That's closely linked into the traditional movement and the music. Then there's the experimental part of the show where we are doing a woman zar trance ritual, with some modern liberties and theatricality.
I'm also really excited about our group because there is diversity among us: one performer is Asian, one is Latina, there is a man… I really love showing audiences diversity as well as different body types than what the media always portray as the standard of beauty. I love it when I have bigger women, older women, taller women or a man. I am attached to having people question what they think.
MT: In 1999, Scholar Andrea Deagon wrote about the misperceptions that belly dancers still face: "The view of the general public has not kept pace with the feminist bent of dancers' images of their art. Belly dance continues to be marginalized as an art form; a professional dancer may have a difficult time being taken seriously." Would you say it is still true?
JP: Yes. It varies a lot from place to place because of people's perceptions of the other and what is understood as foreign is different according to where they live. If you are from the South or the Midwest, you don't have a lot of exposure to other cultures nearby and things may feel more threatening, particularly with the current political climate. I feel like a cultural ambassador. Giving insight of some beauty from [the Middle East] feels important to me. People with less exposure are thinking "exotic dance," just as at the turn of the century when belly dance and other cultural dances were brought in the Victorian dances in world cultural fairs. People don't know where these associations come from but they stick.
MT: In your journeys to Morocco or Turkey, what did you feel that you learn that you couldn't learn here?
JP: Understanding that I may never understand how complex the relationship to the dance form and women's role in the culture really is. No respectable Egyptian man would want his mother, sister, daughter, cousin, or wife to be a belly dancer, so it's really complicated.
In her own words, flamenco performer, master teacher and choreographer Danica Sena "stumbled upon" the Spanish traditional art form without having ever sought it. The daughter of Serbian parents, she was born in the United States, thousands of miles away from the land of flamenco. Yet, dance, music and creativity were always part of her life and culture, as long as she can remember. "I was never bored as a child. I would gather everybody on the block and say: 'Today, we are going to do Cinderella' and my dad would type up the script from the story. We would hand it out and sell lemonade!" While in junior year in college and already fluent in Spanish, she received a scholarship to study at Complutense, the arts university in Madrid, for a year. Marking the beginning of her deep passion for Spanish culture, this experience laid the groundwork for her discovery and study of flamenco. Sena and I sat down to talk about her background, the culture of flamenco and the work that she will present at Dance and Diaspora at ODC Theater later this month.
Marie Tollon: What led to your discovery of flamenco?
Danica Sena: My freshman year in college, I took an African Haitian dance class. My teacher recognized a talent in me and encouraged me to pursue dance. Without having tons of technique at that time, I would go to audition and people would hire me. One day during my junior year in Madrid, I went to the gym in my neighborhood. I looked in a small room through a circular window and saw this short woman teaching some kind of dance. Those were Sevillanas, the folkloric dance from Seville. [The teacher] could see I could learn the steps very fast so she put me aside, in a corner, and taught me advanced steps separately from the group. Within two weeks, she took me to the feria at Plaza de Toros. That was my first experience dancing outside with a male partner. When I came back to the United States for my senior year, I read on a bulletin board: "Flamenco guitarist gives lessons." I went to his class and he showed me a video of Carmen Amaya. It was as if somebody threw a firecracker inside me and it exploded. I asked him "Where can I do that?" He said I could either go to San Francisco or to New York. I came to San Francisco and studied with Rosa Montoya. She took me under her wing. Shortly after, I was in her company and she had me teaching and helping run her school. I went to Spain and lived there for 10 years, in Madrid and Cadiz.
MT: You will present three pieces at Dance and Diaspora, with guest artists musicians El Niño Manuel, El Gori and dancer Jose Carlos from Spain. Can you talk about meeting and collaborating with them?
DS: While living in Spain, I was hired to go on a contract to Japan. That's where I met El Niño Manuel. We worked together everyday for two years. Manolo's wife, Maria Jesús, danced with me. We basically became family. This past May I took a group of students to Spain and set up an experience including José Carlos and Gori. [These artists] work together all the time and that in itself creates a very special energy. Three quarters of one of the pieces [to be presented at Dance and Diaspora] were created by Maria Jesus last June and then I continued the choreography with my advanced students. The rest of the pieces were created together. What I want to showcase is mainly the artists.
MT: In an earlier conversation, you mentioned vocabulary and historical context that you would like to share with your audience.
DS: I want the audience to understand that each one of us, somewhere in our cultural history, is connected to flamenco. The gypsies [from India] were a key component [in creating flamenco]. But when they arrived in Spain other cultures had already influenced the music: Gregorian chants, the Catholic Church, the Celts, the Phoenicians, the Sephardic Jews, the Persians, the Arabs, the Chinese! The mantón de manila -[embroidered shawl worn by flamenco dancers]- had dragons originally and came from China! The fan is Asian in origin. Flamenco is a global phenomenon!
MT: In the way that flamenco was born, it was very much participatory, in terms of audience's vocal presence and encouragement to the musicians and dancers. What do you feel happened to that element when flamenco was moved to the theater?
DS: It's always hard for me to make sweeping generalizations. You can't orchestrate what the audience is feeling. I strive to nurture that connection. When the audience sits in closer proximity, it's of course easier to connect. Even then nothing is guaranteed. First and foremost you should leave your ego aside. As an artist, you have to understand what your venue is. Why does flamenco often not translate onto large spaces? If you are on a huge stage you have to present a theatrical performance. Many flamenco dancers don't have other training, and by training I don't mean a couple of workshops/classes here and there or studying Youtube videos. Depth and length of training increase possibility and output. It all depends on what choreographies/styles are in your repertoire. What do you want to communicate to your audience? What is your vision? How can you collaborate [with artists from other fields or genres] if you are not well-versed? Respect the venue and respect your audience. Nobody wants to see a solo that is 20 minutes long! Do your legwork and understand your limitations.
MT: Throughout its long history, flamenco has changed and evolved. There has been opposition between the purists, who want to preserve a certain vision of traditional flamenco, and the modernists, who have brought new elements to the art form. In an interview, you said that your dance is "contemporary and about your current situation." You also said that for you "authenticity means delving deep into the tradition." How do you navigate the balance between staying true to the form, yet allowing it to evolve?
DS: The nature of art is intrinsically to be free. I am a forward mover. I've never gotten involved in that debate because I'm looking for connections and authenticity. Authenticity doesn't mean being fixated upon a generation you weren't a part of. The younger generations in Spain have opened themselves to other movements. Many have full training in other movement styles in addition to complete training in all of the Spanish dance forms: jota, escuela bolera, clásico español and danza estilizada. The only authenticity that one has to have in flamenco is to understand the musical form. I first make sure that I understand as deeply as possible the musical format and the form of the singing. What kind of movements would lend themselves to the music? What wouldn't work?
MT: In a recent article, Valerie Gladstone noted how "just as men like El Farruco, Antonio Canales and Antonio Gades did in past decades, it is the women who now dominate the field… and are "driving the art form." Do you agree and if so, how do you explain this evolution?
DS: The major companies that I know around the world are run by women. Flamenco is a very powerful expression for women because it is not a submissive or passive art form. Beyond its sheer physicality and energy it encourages the expression of emotions and it is a place where many women can showcase their strength.
Next week, we'll hear from world-renowned belly dancer Jill Parker, who is sharing the bill with Danica Sena at Dance and Diaspora.

Attorney General Becerra Petitions Court to Ensure Consumer Protections Against Robocalling
Attorney General Becerra Petitions Court to Ensure Consumer …
Contact: (916) 210-6000, agpressoffice@doj.ca.gov
In an amicus brief to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, the attorneys general argue to protect the Telephone Consumer Protection Act
SACRAMENTO – California Attorney General Xavier Becerra joined a multistate coalition in an effort to stop companies from breaking the law with harassing telemarketing calls. In an amicus brief filed in Lindenbaum v. Realgy, LLC, the attorneys general called on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit to reverse a district court's ruling that a landmark federal law intended to stop telemarketing scams was unconstitutional and unenforceable for a five-year period ending in 2020.
"Californians rely on federal protections to help curb unwanted telemarketing calls. People who engaged in illegal robocalling between 2015 and 2020 should be brought to justice," said Attorney General Becerra."Granting a five-year hall pass to these harassers would permit illegal activity and open the door for more."
Congress passed the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) in 1991 to restrict robocalls and prerecorded calls to consumers without their consent. In 2015, Congress amended the TCPA to include a "government debt exception" that allowed telemarketing calls concerning debts owed to – or guaranteed by – the federal government, such as certain mortgages and student loans. Five years later, in 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the TCPA's government debt exception violated the First Amendment and was unconstitutional. Rather than invalidate the entire TCPA, the Supreme Court severed the government debt exemption from the TCPA, keeping intact its remaining prohibitions on unwanted telemarketing.
In 2019, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio dismissed Lindenbaum v. Realgy, LLC, a robocalling case related to the TCPA, on the grounds that the entire TCPA was unconstitutional between 2015 and 2020. The district court's decision creates uncertainty regarding the enforceability of the TCPA during that time. Today's amicus brief filed by the multistate coalition of attorneys general argues that the district court erred in that decision.
Attorney General Becerra is fighting to ensure that illegal robocallers in California and across the nation are brought to justice for illegal acts committed between 2015 and 2020. This brief further demonstrates Attorney General Becerra's commitment to protecting Californians against unwanted, intrusive telemarketing. In October 2020, Attorney General Becerra petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to stop Facebook and others from harassing consumers with robocalls and robotexts. In December 2020, Attorney General Becerra announced a $210 million multistate settlement against Dish Network (Dish), concluding an 11-year legal dispute over the company's illegal telemarketing campaigns.
In filing the amicus brief, Attorney General Becerra joins the attorneys general of Indiana, North Carolina, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington and the District of Columbia.
A copy of the brief is available here.


Nicholas Thorne was the top scorer with 13 points for Graydon Sealy but he was also a handful in the paint as #9 Micah Grosvenor of HC A found out.
Playing on back to back days, Harrison College A and B played their way to victories in the Co-operators General Insurance U-16 Schools Basketball league competition.
Graydon Sealy was the first statistic when they faced off at home against Harrison College B. They jumped out to an 8-1 lead at the end of the first and looked the more practised team. Each player making moves that were fundamentally sound.
Nicholas Thorne of Graydon was not sitting back to watch the game get completely out of hand. The tall centre put up seven of his team's nine second quarter points to try to keep the game within reach. Unfortunately College was rolling behind Tyrell Gill and Damani Bynoe-Forde with eight and six points respectively in the second. They were the only two players to score for HC to help them go into the half up 22-10.
The lead was 12 but the low scoring trend returned for Graydon after the break. Three points was all the home team could muster and that caused the deficit to grow to 17, 30-13 with one quarter left.
The last quarter was the weakest one for the visitors with nine points and that helped the opposition cut into their lead somewhat but in the end the final score was 36-22.
Harrison College A took on Deighton Griffith the next afternoon and literally blew them off the court. The statement College made with their first home game was immense. It was a 75-2 victory, a powerful message to defending champions Queen's College who also won against the Lodge School 47-22.

Q: Rhomobile rhodes Rho AsyncHttp post I am having problems with Rhomobile rhodes, plaese can someone tell me how to make http post, get, put, and delete using Rho::AsyncHttp?
I've been trying it to no success for hours.

A: Here's some sample code to place in your controller.rb file
Here's the initial call
  def index
  Rho::AsyncHttp.get(
    :url => 'http://the.page.you.want.to.get',
    :callback => (url_for :action => :httpget_callback),
    :callback_param => "" )
  render :action => :wait

end
the code above will initiate the httpget_callback method (below)
while that goes off and loads the url it'll change the screen and load the wait.erb file
  def httpget_callback
if @params['status'] != 'ok'
    @@error_params = @params
    WebView.navigate(url_for :action => :show_error )
else
    @html = @params['body']
end
    WebView.navigate ( url_for :action => :show_result )

end
Without getting too far into it - the body of the returned page is placed into @html variable
Hope that helps, if you need more help, let me know.

A: I have a sample of  get an post
res = Rho::AsyncHttp.post(:url => 'http://192.168.1.64/WebServiceTest/Service.asmx/Sumar')
 @msg= "Sync http call: #{res}"
http://wiki.rhomobile.com/index.php/RhodesConnectToWebServices

A: I'm often struggling with the nuances of AsyncHttp in Rhodes as well, so I can't claim mastery yet, but I really felt the need to chime in with a suggestion:
I find using the Firebug plugin of Firefox to be VERY helpful when debugging my Rhodes app. You can hook it up very easily! You can load your app with any browser by configuring the web server to run on a specific port. This setting is in rhoconfig.txt and it is called local_server_port.
This is specifically helpful because you can easily survey the HTML and raw data of requests/responses and use the console to run javascript commands and play with the DOM and web page in realtime.

There are some big names in the Fairfield County dining scene and Chef Matt Storch is definitely one of them. His restaurant, Match, in SoNo remains a steady force in the Norwalk dining scene. Sure, restaurants close around him, unable to withstand the shaky Norwalk market, but Match has consistently stayed strong because people know they can always get an extremely well-executed, dependable, delicious meal . . . yet there's always something new thanks to Chef Storch's creative spins.
One of the coolest things for us as bloggers is watching a restaurant grow from a mere idea to a fully working dynamo. We definitely had that kind of feeling when we came back to Olio, remembering when we first sat down with co-owners Moira Hyland and Chef Steve Costanzo. And, we remembered seeking shelter at Olio during Sandy when we had lost all power. But, it was time for some new experiences…namely brunch, the best meal ever!
Before we even picked out what we were eating, we got uppers (coffee) and downers (mimosas) to start things off right. Then, after much deliberation, we finally decided on our dishes: an order of the amazing Ricotta Doughnuts, Steak & Eggs, Huevos Rancheros, and an order of the sweet potato hash. We brought Kristien's parents to let them try out one of favorite places and they both got frittatas that they loved and devoured every bite of: one veggie, one with chorizo.
As we waited for our food, a super nice couple (Mike and Ann) sat down next to us who we had talked with at Casa Villa a few months back. They were inspired to go after seeing that we had asked our Facebook fans where we should take the 'rents for brunch. Then, our donuts arrived, so we had to get down to business. They were still as light and fluffy as we remember…and still sooooo freaking amazing.
Kristien devoured her steak & eggs, served with home fry gratin (scalloped potatoes,) grilled strip, and a cilantro parsley chimichurri sauce. The eggs were cooked perfectly: runny yolk that oozed out in a rich yellow. The steak itself was cooked closer to medium rather than medium-rare, but was still excellent. And, the chimichurri sauce took the whole dish to another level with its herbaceous kick. Oh, and that home fry gratin…imagine scalloped potatoes, cooked to a delicate tenderness, placed in a thick cheddar-y sauce. Seriously nomworthy.
Dan's Huevos Rancheros was a great brunch item, featuring those nicely cooked eggs, the scalloped potatoes, a Guajillo Chili sauce, and grilled chorizo sausage that was split in half. The eggs (perfectly over easy) and sauce (bright and fresh) were placed atop a blue corn tortilla that added a nice texture to the dish. The chorizo was great, offering a nice bite and a undertone of spice that lingered. If this dish had just a little more salt it could have been super stellar, but still great nonetheless.
The Sweet Potato Hash is something our friend Kelley told us to get, and when we tried it we understood why. There was this amazing contrast going on between sweet and savory, soft and crispy due to the small bits of sweet potato and crispy pork belly. A must have.

In the 1980s, he made a lasting impression with a series of guest star TV roles, his film debut as Sundown in "Top Gun," and his role as Theo, the terrorist computer whiz, in "Die Hard," which he played with gleeful menace. In 1989, he got a regular role on prime-time TV with "Matlock." His character, Conrad McMasters, was a private investigator who worked for Andy Griffith's top criminal defense lawyer.
Gilyard was in 85 episodes of "Matlock" before leaving the show in 1993 to play a bigger part in "Walker, Texas Ranger." He played Jimmy Trivette, the tough sergeant Chuck Norris's right-hand man. He was in all 196 episodes of the eighth season of the show. Gilyard kept acting after the show ended in 2001. He did so in several movies and TV shows.
Gilyard was born on December 24, 1955, in Moses Lake, Washington. He grew up as a military brat, moving around to different air bases in the U.S. before his family moved to California. After a year as a cadet at the Air Force Academy, Gilyard went to Sterling College, then California State University, Long Beach, and California State University, Dominguez Hills, where he got a bachelor's degree in acting.
Gilyard returned to school later in life and became an associate professor in the theatre department at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in 2006. Gilyard also worked as a producer and director. He was in charge of an episode of "Walker, Texas Ranger."
Gilyard was married to Catherine Dutko in the past. In 2001, he got married to Elena Gilyard.

Q: Fundamental v.s. Anti-Fundamental Representation of $SU(N)$: Why special at $N=2$ Could someone give a simple explanation why it is special at $N=2$ that fundamental and anti-fundamental representation of $SU(2)$ is the same?
Then how is the case for Fundamental v.s. Anti-Fundamental Representation of $SU(N)$ for generic $N$? How are Fundamental v.s. Anti-Fundamental Representation of $SU(N)$ differed from each other?
p.s. You may like to explain in terms of Young tableaux, but it will be nice to explain without going to something more abstract that it has to be.

A: Recall that for compact groups we can test whether two representations are isomorphic by testing whether their characters are equal, and that taking duals takes the complex conjugate of the character. The character of the fundamental representation is just the trace $\text{tr} : SU(n) \to \mathbb{C}$ and the character of the antifundamental representation is the complex conjugate of this, so the question is why the trace of an element of $SU(n)$ is always real iff $n = 2$.
This is because the condition that an element of $SU(n)$ has determinant $1$, in addition to the condition that it's unitary, forces its eigenvalues to be unit complex numbers with product $1$. When $n = 2$ there are two eigenvalues $z, w$ which must satisfy both $|z| = |w| = 1$ and $zw = 1$, which forces $w = \bar{z}$, and hence the trace $z + w = z + \bar{z}$ is real.
When $n \ge 3$ these conditions no longer force the trace to be real, and it's an interesting question to characterize exactly what values the trace takes in general.

Again deprived of a visa in Australia, Novak Djokovic continues his showdown
Home » News » Again deprived of a visa in Australia, Novak Djokovic continues his showdown
Published on : 14/01/2022 – 08:14Modified : 14/01/2022 – 13:31
Australian Immigration Minister Alex Hawke announced on Friday that he has again canceled the visa of Serbian Novak Djokovic, who wants to play the Australian Open. Defenders of the world number one tennis player immediately appealed to prevent his expulsion. An appeal that must now be examined by a Federal Court.
Three days before the start of the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic's participation is again compromised. The Australian visa of the world number one, who wanted to enter the country without being vaccinated against Covid-19, has been canceled for the second time, announced Friday, January 14, the Minister of Immigration, Alex Hawke. The Australian authorities have however agreed to suspend the deportation of Novak Djokovic until the justice has ruled on his case, announced a lawyer of the government.
The legal battle continued in front of a Melbourne judge after Djokovic's lawyers lodged an appeal against the deportation. A summary hearing took place and a lawyer for Djokovic announced that the Australian authorities intended to place him in detention over the next few hours. But the judge in charge of the case finally decided to divest in favor of an Australian Federal Court which will therefore, from now on, have to decide this case.
Before this summary hearing, the Minister of Immigration issued a press release announcing the cancellation, for the second time, of the Serb's Australian visa. A decision taken "on health and public order bases", said Alex Hawke, who said he was "firmly committed to protecting the Australian borders, especially in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic".
"Australians have made many sacrifices during this pandemic and rightly want the outcome of those sacrifices to be protected," said Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
A threat of a 3-year entry ban
If the decision of the Minister of Immigration were validated, it would also imply that the Serbian player, who was aiming for a 21e The record-breaking Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, which begins on Monday, will be barred from entering the country for three years, except under certain circumstances.
The 34-year-old's visa had already been canceled for the first time on January 5, when he arrived in Melbourne, and Djokovic was then placed in a detention center for deportation.
The tennisman's lawyers, however, had won a landslide victory on January 10, getting a judge to reinstate his visa and order his immediate release. Since then, Djokovic has been training for the tournament and will face compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round.e world player.
But the Minister of Immigration retained the possibility of revoking the visa again under his discretionary power.

Home Health Care Amyloid : More in the Brain, More Cognitive Decline
Amyloid : More in the Brain, More Cognitive Decline
Increased amyloid plaque leads to increased cognitive decline, according to Center for Vital Longevity Scientists.
A new study from the Center for Vital Longevity at The University of Texas at Dallas has found that the amount of amyloid plaques in a person's brain predicts the rate at which his or her cognition will decline in the next four years.
The study, published in JAMA Neurology, used positron emission tomography (PET) scans to detect amyloid in 184 healthy middle-age and older adults participating in the Dallas Lifespan Brain Study. Amyloid plaques, a sticky buildup that gradually gathers outside of neurons and is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, are believed to start accumulating in the brain 10 to 20 years before the onset of dementia.
"We think it is critical to examine middle-aged adults to detect the earliest possible signs of Alzheimer's disease, because it is becoming increasingly clear that early intervention will be the key to eventually preventing Alzheimer's disease," said Michelle Farrell, a PhD student at the center and the lead author of the study."
The study presents some of the first data on amyloid and its cognitive consequences in adults ages 40 to 59. For these middle-age adults, the study found that higher amyloid amounts were associated with declines in vocabulary, an area of cognition that is generally preserved as people age.
The results suggest that a new approach might be needed to provide physicians and patients with information about the future for someone with amyloid deposits. Amyloid PET scan results are typically presented as either positive or negative, but the new findings suggest that the amount of amyloid in the brain provides useful prognostic information about how rapidly cognition may decline in the future.
"Our understanding of the earliest and silent phase of possible Alzheimer's disease is increasing rapidly. Providing physicians and patients with more information about the magnitude of amyloid deposits will provide valuable information that will permit better planning for the future," said Dr. Denise Park, director of research at the Center for Vital Longevity, Distinguished University Chair in Behavioral and Brain Sciences and senior author of the study.

Park heads up the Dallas Lifespan Brain Study, which is a multi-year research project aimed at understanding what a healthy brain looks like and how it functions at every decade of life from age 20 through 90. Each of the nearly 500 volunteers in the study undergo tests every four years.
While most studies of amyloid and its relationship to Alzheimer's disease have focused on older adults over age 60, the Dallas Lifespan Brain Study also studies middle-age adults to find the earliest possible signs of Alzheimer's disease.
In the JAMA Neurology research, the three middle-age adults who had the highest amyloid amounts and greatest vocabulary decline were also found to have a double dose of the ApoE-4 gene implicated in Alzheimer's. This means they received a copy of the gene from each of their parents. Only about 4 percent of the population carries this genetic combination, and the finding hints at the possibility that subtle symptoms of cognitive decline related to amyloid may be detectable as early as middle age in this vulnerable population.

How not to honor fallen soldiers.
SCENE: Me, Brian, Mindy and Juan across the street from their townhouse on the lawn of an abandoned church playing croquet on Memorial Day. A car drives slowly past.
Teenage kid in car: "Ya'll fuckin' suck!"
Mindy: "I don't think soldiers died so he could do that."
posted by Sara C. at 11:27 PM
"I don't think our soldiers died so you could let your dog bark all night."
"I don't think our soldiers died so you could spraypaint the costa rica bridge all night"
"I don't think our soldiers died so you could make fun of me."
Actually, i think that's precisely why they are dying, if you want to think of it in those terms(although, not necessarily related to our mission in iraq): to preserve america. In america, i can tell you how much of an idiot you are and risk getting beat up by a black belt who loves to play croquet. In america, we can do all the wonderful, rude, pleasant, and degrading things we want - within the law. God Bless America.

Man, I miss playing croquet. I haven't played since I was a kid. My sisters and I would play with my grandparents ancient set in their vast backyard in Shreveport. I should get a set so we can play down at the park.
What my sister said was a -- to borrow a term -- "fuckin'" joke. Don't get your manpanties all in wads.
Regardless, that kid deserves a good beating. I'll set up an elaborate croquet trap for him.
It was a fun game. Brian and I beat Mindy and Juan, but only because Brian is an awesome player.
By Sara C., at 9:17 PM
Mindy is your sister?! Holy Crap-ola, i had no idea!
As for my horribly incongruous comment to such an obvious joke ... i can only say that i must have been in a horribly defensive mood. i did, after all spend my memorial day with my brother-in-law (who i have to try really hard to get along with) ... the residual affects last about a day or two...
