'Priceless' jewels snatched from German state museum
BERLIN (AFP).- Robbers made off with priceless 18th century jewellery from a state museum in Dresden on Monday, police and museum directors said, in a major art heist that has shocked Germany. The thieves at dawn broke into the Green Vault at Dresden's Royal Palace -- home to around 4,000 precious objects of ivory, gold, silver and jewels -- after a power cut deactivated the alarm. The stolen items included brilliant-cut diamonds that belonged to a collection of jewellery of 18th-century Saxony ruler Augustus the Strong. Museum directors had earlier feared much of three sets of diamond jewellery in the collection were snatched, but the loss turned out to be more limited than thought. "The criminals didn't manage to take everything," the director of Dresden's state art collections Marion Ackermann told public broadcaster ZDF on Monday evening. ... More

Pompeii's grand baths unveiled, with hidden tragedy
POMPEII (AFP).- Magnificent thermal baths designed to be the jewel of Pompeii but destroyed by a volcanic eruption before they could be completed opened to visitors for the first time on Monday after a painstaking excavation. Marble pillars and blocks lie where they were abandoned when the city was submerged by a pyroclastic flow from Mount Vesuvius in the 79 AD disaster. But excavators also found a victim of the disaster, the skeleton of a child who had sought shelter there in vain. The architects "were inspired by Emperor Nero's thermal baths in Rome. The rooms here were to be bigger and lighter, with marble pools," the archaeological site's director Massimo Osanna told AFP. The Central Baths lie in an area restored under the Great Pompeii Project, launched in 2012 to save the historical site after the collapse of the 2000-year-old "House of the Gladiators", which sparked outrage worldwide. "It was an emotionally charged dig," said Alberta ... More
Tiffany: An American jeweler headed for the LVMH empire
WASHINGTON (AFP).- An iconic US company with a storied history, the jeweler Tiffany agreed Monday to be acquired by French luxury giant LVMH for $16.2 billion. Upon sealing the deal, LVMH chief Bernard Arnault called Tiffany itself a "jewel" and vowed to bestow it with "the same dedication and commitment" that the company had applied to all its businesses. The company's story dates back to 1837 when founder Charles Lewis Tiffany opened a store on Broadway in New York that sold stationary, handkerchiefs and other finery. Over the next decade or so, the company shifted to jewelry, especially in 1848 through acquisitions of top European collections, including diamonds worn by Marie-Antoinette. In 1850, Tiffany opened a store in Paris at rue de Richelieu, which was followed by a London store in 1868 and a watch factory in Geneva a few years later. The company flourished further when Charles' son, Louis Comfort Tiffany -- a painter, born ... More
Cape Ann Museum receives promised gift of Winslow Homer watercolor painting for permanent collection
GLOUCESTER, MASS.- The Cape Ann Museum has received the promised gift of a significant watercolor by the American artist, Winslow Homer (1836–1910), for its permanent collection. This painting, Boy Hailing Schooners, 1880, was hung for the first time at the Museum this weekend and arrives just before the Museum's nationally acclaimed and most popular exhibition to date, Homer at the Beach: A Marine Painter's Journey, 1869-1880, closes December 1. "We are so very grateful for this important work to join our growing permanent collection," said Museum Director Oliver Barker. "It points to our concerted strategy to strategically build the Museum's collections by adding significant and iconic works that attest to the paramount role that Cape Ann has played in shaping both American art and history." This new addition is a promised gift from Janet and William Ellery James, whose family history on Cape ... More

Dorothy Seiberling, influential arts editor, dies at 97
NEW YORK (NYT NEWS SERVICE).- Dorothy Seiberling, an influential magazine editor who championed modern artists, died Saturday in Wilmington, Delaware. She was 97. Her death was confirmed by her niece Mary Huhn. As Life magazine's art editor, Seiberling helped shape public opinion about the 20th century's foremost avant-gardist artists, encouraging open-minded consideration of their importance. Jackson Pollock and Georgia O'Keeffe were already renowned by the time she produced feature articles on them, but their legacies were in question. Some art critics had written off Pollock's Abstract Expressionist work, particularly his celebrated "drip paintings," as chaotic and unintentional, and O'Keeffe's as explicitly feminine — "a woman on paper," as her husband, the photographer and gallerist Alfred Stieglitz, said. (She didn't see it that way.) Seiberling's ... More
Auction of 19th Century Art at Ketterer Kunst in Munich totals €1.4 million
MUNICH.- The autumn auction season at Ketterer Kunst kicked off with an extremely successful sale of 19th Century Art. With total proceeds of around € 1.4 million, currently almost double the proceeds of the direct German competitor, the final of the anniversary year could not have started better. The star of the auction was Carl Spitzweg. "That was an excellent auction", states Robert Ketterer, auctioneer and owner of Ketterer Kunst. "A sales quota of 75% by lots is just as self evident as a rate of more than 30% first time buyers. A particularly remarkable aspect is the fact that within such a compact range of just 80 works on offer, some 30 objects, more than a third of the offer, realized prices above € 10,000*. The average result per sold lot is at € 23,000." Carl Spitzweg's "Blick ins Tal (Zwei Mädchen auf einer Alpe)" (lot 8) set a peak standard at the very beginning ... More
Russian Constructivist poster, Dracula jumbo lobby card claim top lot honors in Heritage Auctions' Posters Auction
DALLAS, TX.- An extraordinarily rare jumbo lobby card for Dracula (Universal) sold for nearly five times its estimate to bring $192,000 in Heritage Auctions' Movie Poster Auction Nov. 23-24. The 14-inch by 17-inch card is especially unique because it was owned by actor Bela Lugosi, the actor who played the title role in the 1931 classic. The entire sale brought $2,504,814, the highest grossing movie poster auction of the year. "We knew collectors were going to be excited by this particular piece," said Grey Smith, Director of Posters at Heritage. "Not only is it of unquestionable rarity, the fact it came from Lugosi's private collection makes it a true piece of cinematic history." A rare Russian poster for one of the most effective propaganda films of all time sold for $108,000, beating high expectations. Never before offered by Heritage, the rare Battleship Potemkin (SovKino, R-1929) Russian Poster was one of a pair of R ... More
Victoria Miro announces representation of María Berrío
LONDON.- Victoria Miro announced representation of María Berrío. Work by the Brooklyn-based artist will feature as part of the gallery's presentation at Art Basel Miami Beach in December 2019. Her first solo exhibition in the UK will take place at Victoria Miro in June 2020. Based in Brooklyn, María Berrío grew up in Colombia. Her large-scale works, which are meticulously crafted from layers of Japanese paper, reflect on cross-cultural connections and global migration seen through the prism of her own history. Populated predominantly by women, Berrío's art often appears to propose spaces of refuge or safety, kaleidoscopic utopias which in the past have been inspired in part by South American folklore, where humans and nature coexist in harmony. To these apparently idealised scenes, however, Berrío brings to light the hard realities of present-day politics. For example, Oda a la Esperanza (Ode to Hope), 2019, in which girls a ... More
Thomas Dane Gallery introduces Bruce Conner's BREAKAWAY (1966) to a London audience for the first time
LONDON.- Following presentations of Bruce Conner's films such as CROSSROADS (1976) in June 2015, A MOVIE (1958) in May 2017, and EASTER MORNING (2008) in Naples, January 2018, Thomas Dane Gallery introduces BREAKAWAY (1966) to a London audience for the first time. Conner was one of the foremost American artists of the twentieth century, whose transformative work addressed facets of post-war American society, from a rising consumer culture to the dread of nuclear apocalypse. Working in a range of media, Conner created photography, collage and graphic work alongside hybrids of painting and sculpture, film and performance. Conventionally lesser known within this diverse practice were Conner's films, which have been reappraised as an iconic, experimental and independent body of work. Conner began making short-films from the late-1950s and created BREAKAWAY in 1966. The film comprises two distinct halves which feature the perfo ... More

Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami opens late artist Alice Rahon's "Poetic Invocations"
MIAMI, FLA.- The Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami is presenting a new exhibition featuring works of French-Mexican surrealist painter Alice Rahon (1904–1987). "Poetic Invocations" is guest curated by Mexico-City based art historian Tere Arcq. The exhibition aims to contribute to the scholarship and recognition of under-explored women artists, and to the intercultural influences on European artists in exile in the Americas, whose work was often deeply marked by indigenous and archaic cultures. Opening on Tuesday, Nov. 26, the exhibition will be on view during Miami Art Week and run through Sunday, March 29, 2020. Born in France and later nationalized as a Mexican, Rahon joined the Parisian Surrealist circle as a poet, but once in Mexico, she turned her creativity mainly to painting. She became an active a member of a group of European Surrealists artists in exile including ... More

On a day like today, American cartoonist Charles M. Schulz was born
January 26, 1922. Charles Monroe "Sparky" Schulz (November 26, 1922 - February 12, 2000) was an American cartoonist, whose comic strip Peanuts proved one of the most popular and influential in the history of the medium, and is still widely reprinted on a daily basis. In this image: Ma Leshan, 76, holds a series of models of Peanut characters in his exhibition room in Shiqi of Zhongshan city, south China's Guangdong Province, 29 May 2003. Charles Schulz, the US cartoonist, appointed Ma as the only manual models sculptor for his Peanut series in 1978. Ma has made over 10,000 Snoopy models in the past 25 years. Manual models are the first models made according to the drawings before the mass production.
In Plain Sight: The Henry Art Gallery opens a museum-wide exhibition
SEATTLE, WA.- The Henry Art Gallery is presenting In Plain Sight, a museum-wide exhibition that engages artists whose work addresses narratives, communities, and histories that are typically hidden or invisible in our public space. The exhibition features the work of fourteen U.S.-based and international artists, along with a diverse schedule of events and programs. In Plain Sight is the first large-scale exhibition curated by Shamim M. Momin since joining the Henry as Senior Curator in fall of 2018. The presenting artists approach the exhibition's theme from a range of directions, varying across all media as well as aesthetic and conceptual contexts. Works encompass deliberately activist endeavors and direct documentation; the unpacking of individual histories excluded due to race, ethnicity, or class; explorations of coded language for protection, secrecy, or both; ...

Ron Nagle presents a selection of 25 sculptures and drawings at Vienna's Secession
VIENNA.- In the Secession, the San Francisco-based artist presents a selection of 25 sculptures and drawings from recent years. For the past six decades or so, Ron Nagle has been pursuing parallel careers as a sculptor and musician. His small-format ceramic sculptures are simultaneously miniature landscapes, abstract compositions, thoughts turned into form, and visual jokes – Nagle's humor and his penchant for puns and wordplay find expression not only in his song texts, but also in the titles of his sculptures. Thus the artist turns phrases such as "finishing touch" into titles such as "Finishing Touchéz" – although Nagle always emphasizes that his titles bear no relationship, in terms of content, to his objects, and should not be regarded as keys to the understanding of his works. In addition to their miniature format, the artist's works are characterized by structure, form, color and the equally s ... More
GaHee Park's first solo show with Perrotin on view in Seoul
SEOUL.- Perrotin is presenting We Used to Be Fish, an exhibition by Seoul born New York based-artist, GaHee Park. This is her first solo show with the gallery. In an era where technology has enabled vast new networks of connection, these means of communication are—more-often-thannot—unreliant on physical presence and touch. Our own time could easily be described as a paradoxical heightening of connection and isolation in equal measure. In this exhibition, Park's work is notable for her celebration of a slower and more personal sense of bonding. Comprised of paintings and drawings depicting intimacy within domestic scenes, Park's sensual visions are profoundly personal ones. Born and raised in Korea, Park's early life was influenced by her strict and religious upbringing as well as the socially restrictive and conformist atmosphere of Korea ... More
HK elections showed 'great spirit': dissident artist
BERLIN (AFP).- Victory in community-level elections in Hong Kong showed the "great spirit" of the pro-democracy movement, according to a Chinese dissident cartoonist whose work has been a feature of the protests. "The result is extraordinary," Badiucao told reporters on Monday during a visit to Berlin where he exhibited some of his politically satirical art in German MP Gyde Jensen's office. The election showed Hong Kongers were not just fighting for democracy but "also practising it". "I think that great spirit was shown.... That's how powerful democracy is," said Badiucao, adding that the protests were "a source of hope" for China as a whole. Badiucao originally comes from Shanghai but is now based in Australia. He says he cannot return to China as he and his family on the mainland have received threats because of his work. He has been compared to Banksy ... More
The Empty Quarter opens 'The Real Owners of the Planet' by Björn Persson
DUBAI.- Björn Persson is an internationally renowned artist based in Stockholm, Sweden. He has spent many years travelling around the world in search of adventure and spectacular images. His passion for this planet's beautiful wildlife and humans is reflected in his images. Björn looks upon his work as an art form rather than pure nature and documentary photography. He sees the animals as they truly are; emotional, thinking and conscious beings with different personalities. He tries to portray their souls and translate their wisdom with his camera as his paintbrush. Instead of creating despair about their threatened situation, he wants to give people the urge and inspiration to get involved. Apart from fine art photography, Björn is committed to documenting and raising awareness to the threatened species situation. His passion for wildlife was born ... More
In the Jersey suburbs, a bookstore whose vibe is pure Narnia
MONTCLAIR (NYT NEWS SERVICE).- Montclair Book Center is 35 years old, going on eternity. A ramshackle throwback to a funkier, more literary time, the store has shelves handmade from raw lumber. And its customers and clerks are often just as eccentric as the shelves. I've been shopping and snooping there since 1995 and still haven't exhausted all of this biblioscape's labyrinths and warrens — some of which, I suspect, lead to C.S. Lewis' Narnia or Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast. Stuffed with hundreds of thousands of bestsellers, worst sellers and everything in between, the store is a haven where you can ferret out that certain book (or vinyl record) you don't know you need until you see it. I've stumbled across Italo Calvino limited editions, a hardcover of William Burroughs' "Naked Lunch," and a stash of musty, black-and-white comics ... More
New large-scale works by Julie Buffalohead premiere at the Minneapolis Institute of Art
MINNEAPOLIS, MN.- The Minneapolis Institute of Art is presenting a solo exhibition of new work by St. Paul-based artist Julie Buffalohead. "Storytelling: Julie Buffalohead" unveils three large-scale diptychs—each approximately 12 feet tall by 4 1/2 feet long—and two smaller works, each providing a visual narrative told by animal characters with personhood, agency, and individuality. The exhibition opened November 23 in Gallery 255 and runs through September 6, 2020. Like all great storytellers, Buffalohead connects the mythical with the ordinary and the imaginary with the real, offering a space to which viewers can bring their own experiences. As the viewer enters her worlds, she coaxes them to discover additional layers of meaning—social, historical, political, personal—using metaphor, wisdom, and wit. The show was curated by Jill Ahlberg Yohe, ... More
Superhero or supervillain? Technology's role changes comic books
NEW YORK (NYT NEWS SERVICE).- Comic books have been around since the 1930s, each story taking shape as it moves from its writer to its artists (usually a penciler and an inker) and then to its letterer and colorist. Today, that team effort, which also includes an editor reviewing the work and mindful of deadlines, remains largely the same. But while the way writers and editors work is relatively unchanged, computers and technology have broadened the options for illustrators — some of whom have traded pencils and inks for styluses — and revolutionized the roles of letterers and colorists, in speed, output and artistry. This technological evolution did not go exactly as some had imagined it might. "I recall in the late '80s, we were all so sure that every discipline of comics creation would switch over to being done with the aid of the personal ... More
Incomparable collection of The Getz-McDonagh Dance Library (NYC) to be auctioned Dec. 12
FALLS CHURCH, VA.- On Thursday, Dec. 12, Quinn's Auction Galleries will host a single-consignor auction of the Getz-McDonagh Dance Library, a 60-year privately held assemblage of historical literature, correspondence, ephemera and illustrations pertaining to classical dance. Originally known as the Getz Dance Library, in reference to its founder Leslie Getz (1945-2019), it is also known to many in the dance community internationally as the Getz-McDonagh Dance Library. Donald McDonagh is Leslie Getz's steadfastly supportive husband, who shared his wife's passion for dance and took an active partnership role in the library's growth and maintenance until the day of his wife's passing. Leslie Getz's June 2, 2019 obituary in the New York Times described her as "a widely known, valued and admired member of the New York City dance community," ... More
'Egyptian Mummies: Exploring Ancient Lives' exhibition extended until March 29, 2020
MONTREAL.- By popular demand, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is extending the run of the exhibition Egyptian Mummies: Exploring Ancient Lives until March 29, 2020. Already seen by over 100,000 visitors, this major exhibition offers a completely new picture of everyday life of six individuals who lived along the Nile between 900 B.C.E. and 180 C.E. using an innovative approach that combines the arts and science. Making its North American premiere at the MMFA, Egyptian Mummies: Exploring Ancient Lives presents six mummies together with 240 artefacts from ancient Egypt from the collection of the British Museum. Non-invasive medical imaging techniques such as CT scanning have made it possible to shed new light on different aspects of the life – and death – of these six ancient Egyptians. The exhibition reveals fascinating discoveries about ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Fridman Gallery is presenting a solo exhibition of the iconic composer, experimental filmmaker, and photographer Phill Niblock. Working Photos  compiles still photography, video, and minimalist sound works created all over the world throughout his six-decade career. The gallery features many of Niblock's photographs scored by his drone compositions, editioned prints of his images from around the world, and layered photographs and video works such as Light Patterns,  a series of high-contrast black and white slides that slowly dissolve into one another, suggesting the fluidity of memory and place. The gallery will also screen his videos including The Magic Sun  (1966) featuring Sun Ra and his Solar Arkestra,  a 1986 collaborative video project with Arthur Russell, as well as works featuring Rhodri Davies, and Max Neuhaus.

The SCIENCE is CLEAR: Higher covid "vaccine" coverage equals higher excess mortality
Saturday, November 27, 2021 by: Ethan Huff
Tags: COVID, deaths, excess mortality, genocide, Plandemic, Study, vaccination, vaccine coverage
(Natural News) New research out of Germany shows that the most "vaccinated" areas of the world for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) also have the highest rates of excess mortality.
An English translation of the study's findings explains that the less vaccinated the area, the higher the chances of survival. Conversely, the more vaccinated the area, the greater the rate of excess mortality.
"The correlation is + .31, is amazingly high and especially in an unexpected direction," it explains.
"Actually, it should be negative, so that one could say: The higher the vaccination rate, the lower the excess mortality. However, the opposite is the case and this urgently needs to be clarified. Excess mortality can be observed in all 16 countries."
Steve Kirsch of the COVID-19 Early Treatment Fund says that none of this is surprising to him. Since Chinese Virus injections are the deadliest class of "vaccine" in history by a factor of over 800, it only makes sense that people everywhere who take them are dying in droves.
"In plain English: vaccination makes things worse, not better," he writes.
The original study is available for download as a Word document. Kirsch also uploaded an English version as a PDF for easy viewing.
Skip the jab and save your life
Dr. Ute Bergner is credited with putting the research together. She formerly belonged to the FDP parliamentary group in the Thuringian state parliament, but has since switched to the "Citizens for Thuringia" party.
In a recent speech, Bergner presented the analysis that she had commissioned. Two statisticians, she explained, were instructed to look for a connection between the vaccination rate and excess mortality in Germany's 16 federal states.
These two statisticians, Drs. Rolf Steyer and Gregor Kappler, analyzed the period from week 36 to week 40. This is what they found, as presented in a summary:
"Excess mortality can be found in all 16 countries. The number of Covid deaths reported by the RKI in the period under review consistently only represents a relatively small part of the excess mortality and above all cannot explain the critical issue: The higher the vaccination rate, the higher the excess mortality."
"The most direct explanation is: Complete vaccination increases the likelihood of death," it goes on to explain.
The Unz Review put together a similar study that came to much the same conclusion. Everywhere in the world where Fauci Flu shots are widely administered is seeing a massive increase in excess mortality.
"Even excluding Covid deaths they were almost 20% above normal for the most recent week, and the trend is rising," noted Alex Berenson on his Substack.
Obedience to the mandates, in other words, is just asking for death. This will become increasingly apparent as the full effects of the injections kick in over time.
In many cases, death does not occur immediately after the jab. This creates a false sense of "safety and effectiveness" that leads people to believe that everything is just fine.
Later down the road, however, is when the effects of the injections will become apparent. At that point, the death toll will skyrocket even more than it currently is, making it apparent that mass vaccination is just mass genocide in disguise.
"Please take ivermectin which has studies saying it cures cancer," wrote one commenter at Steve Kirsch's Substack to someone discussing non-vaccine remedies for the Chinese Virus.
"Or equivalent herbs and enzymes at least like quercetin, berberine, resveratrol, and sweet wormwood. There is a link between parasites and cancer."
Another directed the already vaccinated to The Fleming Method website, which contains helpful information about how to mitigate and even eliminate some of the jab side effects.

Whistle was an American 1980s hip hop and contemporary R&B group that was composed of Jazzy Jazz, Kool Doobie, and DJ Silver Spinner. The group later brought in Kraze and then Terk after Kool Doobie left the group to go solo. Their biggest hit single as a hip hop group was "(Nothing Serious) Just Buggin'" in 1986.

Biography
The group's first two albums, Whistle (released in 1986) and Transformation (released in 1988) were produced by the Kangol Kid from UTFO and DJ Howie Tee. Kangol and Howie brought in keyboardist/sound wizard Gary Pozner (who had already become a staff producer at Select Records) to handle the sound sampling and help with beat creation. Whistle's third album, Always and Forever, was released in 1990 and  was also produced by Kangol Kid. A fourth album, Get the Love, was  released in 1992.

After the release of their second album, the group gave up rhyming in favor of a contemporary R&B sound ("Barbara's Bedroom" (1987), "Bad Habit" (1990) and love ballads, including "Chance for Our Love" (1986), "Please Love Me" (1986), "Still My Girl" (1987) and "Right Next to Me" (1988). The group's biggest R&B hit single was a cover version of Heatwave's "Always and Forever" (1990). After this, the group disbanded, as Jazzy Jazz went on to form another group called G.H.P. (Group Home Productions) with Free Daydreamer of the group Entouch and Will Skillz of the group Pure Blend. Terk went on to become involved in local and national politics while continuing work as an entrepreneur in entertainment.

"Right Next to Me" became a popular song in the Philippines, with some Filipino singers covering it, such as Jed Madela, Aaron, Johann Escanan and Kimpoy Feliciano.

Do You Have MN Roots?
Roots in Minnesota is an offspring of the Kentucky Roots campaign in Northern Kentucky. Due to the success of these campaigns, urban and community foresters in other states are working on replicating them. Why are these campaigns increasing awareness of the value of public trees and motivating tree care? How can you get onboard?
Find out in this article in City Trees Magazine, or click on the PDF to download.
The Society of Municipal Aborists turned to CEL Marketing/PR/Design to help urban and community foresters get a better understanding of how to develop creative community forestry partnerships. As you will see in the Kentucky Roots story within the pages of City Trees, these partnerships provide critical support for implementing tree care campaigns. Kentucky Roots and Roots in Minnesota campaign co-creator Kari Logan tells us how she worked with the Northern Kentucky Urban & Community Forestry Council (NKUCFC) to expand the reach and motivate tree care with Kentucky Roots.

Not being a fan of horror, I will avoid at any cost, I loved The Evacuee! It was a well written and excellently delivered play made all the more real with everyone dressed up in 1940s era clothing! Would highly recommend for even those who never see horror!

Q: Do I need to aggregate data when using linear mixed effects model? I have a 2 by 2 design with 12 subjects.  The two factors are within-subjects variables.  For each cell, 24 responses were collected from each subject.  My question is whether I need to aggregate every 24 responses into a mean and then use the mean in lmer as the dependent variable.  This webpage http://talklab.psy.gla.ac.uk/simgen/faq.html seems to suggest that aggregation is not needed if use mixed effects model, but I doubt that it is true.
Also, if the responses are binary responses, can I just average them and use generalized lmer with binomial family?
Thanks.

A: Not only is it not needed, it's wrong.  Don't aggregate.  You're modelling every data point.

About Jim Bizzocchi
Streaming Video (2007)
The second series – Streaming Video – was also shot in the Canadian Rockies. The two videos produced in this series contain the same set of thirty shots. The shorter version, Streaming Video 1, is conceived as a "foreground" experience that supports continued attention. It is designed for audience screenings as an art video, suitable for festival exhibition, and has its own accompanying music track. Streaming Video 2 is longer, slower-paced, and silent. This version is designed to be a true ambient piece, a "video painting" for the home or gallery. In each of these Streaming Video works, the water gradually grows in scale, power and speed from gentle streams, to turbulent rapids, to a large and impressive waterfall. Time is again explored as a creative variable. These works were shot with fast shutter speeds and then rendered in subtle slow-motion in post-production, giving them a visual grace and elegance.
The major creative breakthrough of the Streaming Video series is a deep exploration of the layered transition technique begun in Rockface. There are no hard cuts in any of the thirty shots that make up the Streaming Video films. The approach to ambience in these works utilizes multiple layers and complex transitions to support a sense of constant but subtle change from shot to shot. This is a major creative shift in the fundamentals of traditional film and video construction, which relies on the use of the discrete shot as the basic building block of visual sequencing. In Streaming Video, each shot is fragmented into visual zones, and the transition from one shot to the next happens in stages determined by the graphic and motion components of each composition. This engenders a constant state of transition, as pictorial components layer, wipe, and fade in an unending series of changes. At any given time, the image on the screen is a seamless shifting collage, consisting of parts of two or more camera shots. The effect is one of visual flow, metamorphosis, and an overall sense of "magic realism".

Myth Busting: Fossil Fuel Divestment
Mon March 9th 2020
Why fossil divestment makes a difference and should be supported - even by car owners
The Government's decision to required default KiwiSaver providers to exclude fossil fuels has kicked off a debate around the impact. This is long overdue. It not only affects default funds, but most of our KiwiSaver investments. Currently less than 3% of KiwiSaver funds are managed under a policy to exclude fossil fuels. Does this mean that the fund managers who manage 97% of our KiwiSaver funds are right to continue investing in coal, oil and gas production?
We need facts and analysis to examine this decision, and fossil fuel divestment more generally. We also need to bust some myths about divestment and fossil fuel investments.
Will excluding fossil fuels mean lower returns?
For many people, this is the big question. There's a lot of cheerleading in the financial press for fossil fuel companies but few hard facts. The most consistent and reliable information comes from US market indices. The results are startling. Over the past 10 years, coal stocks have dropped by an average of 28.5% per year. Oil and gas share prices have been flat over a 10-year period but have halved since 2015. Meanwhile the overall market has risen by an annual average of 12.65%.
Most New Zealanders defer to the financial experts on the assumption that they know how to make high returns, even if they ignore the consequences of the investments on people and the environment. So it is shocking to see that fund providers that manage 97% of KiwiSaver funds have been losing money on fossil fuels that are in their portfolios.
It's not as if they haven't been warned. The former Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, sounded the alarm in 2015, after detailed analysis from the NGO, Climate Tracker. It was their analysis that revealed 80% of fossil fuel reserves will not be able to be used if the world is to stay within the agreed UN target for global warming of 2˚C. And the worst impacts on share prices of fossil fuel companies may be yet to come. There has been $12 trillion of institutional funds already divested from fossil fuels, but there is far more yet to divest. Warnings have come from the major passive funds, notably BlackRock and State Street. The implications are huge. There is so much money at risk that central banks have warned that collapsing prices for these stranded assets may cause another global financial crisis.
From this analysis, it is implausible to conclude that default funds will earn lower returns if fossil fuels are excluded. To the contrary – strong evidence suggests they will earn higher returns.
Do New Zealanders really care about avoiding fossil fuels and should the government act?
The most authoritative source of information on public attitudes is the annual survey of responsible investment undertaken for Mindful Money and the Responsible Investment Association of Australasia by Colmar Brunton. The data below shows that 75% of the public would like investment providers to avoid investing in fossil fuels. Information on fossil fuel investments across all KiwiSaver funds is now available to members of the public for the first time. Mindful Money's Fund Checker shows how much of each KiwiSaver portfolio is invested in fossil fuels and which companies. The Government has a duty of care towards those in default funds who are not going into a fund by choice but because they are allocated to a fund. By requiring exclusion of fossil fuels in default funds, the government is protecting the interests of the majority of the public. Their power of choice is not being taken away. They can choose to invest in fossil fuels. All that has changed is that the default has been set at no fossil fuels rather than being set at investing in fossil fuels. This referred to in the economic literature as a nudge towards a policy outcome.
Does divestment make a difference in transition to renewable energy?
It does make a difference, but not always through a direct impact. If it is just one individual shareholder not investing, and they don't inform the company why they are not investing, it doesn't make a difference. However, where divestment is part of a collective effort, divestment helps remove the 'social licence of the companies, raises their cost of capital and accelerates the diversion of investment to alternatives. It also increases the willingness of governments to regulate.
This has been the experience of divestment movements against the slave trade, apartheid and tobacco. The global movement on fossil fuels has now persuaded institutions with $12 trillion of funds under management to divest. The evidence is that this has made a major difference. In addition to higher costs of capital and lower share prices, fossil fuel companies encounter operational problems, such as not being able to hire good employees. Shell has warned that divestment is a major risk to its business.
The decision to require default funds to exclude fossil fuels will send a powerful message to the companies and investment community. It will contribute to the switch of investment towards renewable energy.
Is it better to continue to hold fossil fuels and engage with the companies to shift their policies?
Active ownership means that the fund managers should actively engage with companies on their policies. This is crucial because they are owners of the shares and have a responsibility to contribute to governing the company.
However, turning up to an occasional meeting or voting at company AGMs is not going to change long established business models built around fossil fuels. The onus should be on those fund managers who hold fossil fuel shares to explain how their engagement has resulted in positive outcomes, or if not, how they have divested from those companies.
Currently very few reports of KiwiSaver fund managers show how their engagement is making a difference. This should be a requirement for the funds claiming to be 'responsible' on the basis of engagement.
Engagement is particularly effective when good companies do bad things, but has little impact where a company's business model is built around practices that are socially or environmentally damaging – like fossil fuel producers. In those cases, fund managers should exit.
The reality is that efforts to substantially shift the practices of major fossil fuel companies have largely failed. The business model of the major companies remains focused on oil and gas. Even worse, research shows that Big Oil has funded climate denial. In the three years after the Paris Agreement was signed, the five major listed companies spent $1 billion of shareholders' funds on misleading climate-related publicity and lobbying. Few KiwiSaver investors want to see their funds used in this way.
Despite claims of engagement and responsible investing by most KiwiSaver providers, KiwiSaver funds are still invested in the major companies that are locked into a fossil fuel business model. Analysis by Mindful Money shows that $262 million of KiwiSaver funds are invested in Exxon-Mobil, Chevron and BHP, three of the companies most resistant to change.
Government could have called for a policy of responsible investing on fossil fuels, but that would achieve little. A clear policy of divestment has the advantage of cutting through the misleading claims about engagement and investing responsibly, sending a strong signal to the sector and protecting KiwiSaver investors from investing in companies they want to avoid.
Will fossil fuel companies lead the transition to renewable energy?
The argument that oil and gas companies are leading the charge in investing in renewables doesn't stack up. There have been repeated promises over the past 20 years that Big Oil will make the transition to renewables. There were high expectations in the 1990s when BP re-branded as "Beyond Petroleum" but within a few years the CEO was fired and the strategy abandoned.
Despite the claims of making a switch to renewables, analysis by the Carbon Disclosure Project shows that investor-owned oil companies currently are spending only 1–4% of their capital investment on low-carbon energy sources. Even the more progressive companies are making only tentative steps towards renewables. Equinox, cited as a leading example for transition, expects to invest only 15-20% of its capital spend on renewables by 2030.
Overall, investments in the oil and gas sector will still remain concentrated on extracting energy sources that are causing massive social and environmental damage and threatening our future. Leadership will continue to come from companies outside the oil and gas sector.
I'm driving a car and I don't want to pay more for my petrol
Many people drive cars because they are the currently cheapest and most practical option to get to work or go on vacation. But that doesn't mean they want to invest their money in fossil fuels. By contrast, switching investments to new battery technologies and EVs will help accelerate better alternatives being available at an affordable price.
And no, default funds divesting from fossil fuels won't mean that you need to pay more at the pump for your petrol. That's fake news.
So, has the government made the right decision to require default fund to divest from fossil fuels? Overwhelmingly yes.


Kanye West drops his new album "YE" on Friday (June 1st) and you can now stream and download it on Apple Music below.
Kanye West flew out a bunch of his celebrity friends and a couple journalist to the mountains of Wyoming on Friday night for his YE album listening party. The 7-track project has been rave reviews from fans on social media since its release early this morning. Nicki Minaj, Ty Dolla $ign, Young Thug, Francis and the Lights, Dej Loaf, Kid Cudi, Charlie Wilson, 070 Shake, and Jeremih, all made the guest list.
Nicki Minaj delivered a short outro at the end of the single "Violent Crimes," but it would've been dope if she put a verse on that joint. Kanye West addresses a number of topics on the album including his controversial statement about "slavery is a choice." He also raps about Stormy Daniels and took a jab at Russell Simmons.
"They said build your own, I said, 'How, Sway?' / I said slavery's a choice, they said, 'How, Ye?' / Just imagine if they caught me on a wild day," Kanye raps. Kim Kardashian revealed on Twitter that Kanye West used his iPhone to take the photo for his album cover while heading to his listening party in Wyoming yesterday.

The Hon Michael McCormack MP (Former Minister for Defence Personnel)
Assistant Minister for Defence - Interview on Triple J Hack - 18 April 2016
TOM TILLEY:
And as you heard there, last week we spoke to the Minister in charge of Defence Assets like the Williamtown RAAF Base, and that's the Assistant Minister for Defence Michael McCormack, who joins us on the line to talk through this issue again.
Michael thanks so much for joining us.
MICHAEL MCCORMACK:
That's fine Tom.
We heard there the locals are disappointed with your response to this contamination issue, and much like our conversation on this show on Thursday, the first thing in your response was to downplay the link between the chemicals and the potential health impacts. Now when you've got people losing their businesses, their property values and potentially their health, why is downplaying the impact your first reaction?
Well I'm not downplaying it; I'm just saying that there is no connection between these emerging contaminants and an adverse effect on health. What I'm also saying is that this isn't just specifically a RAAF Williamtown issue, it's not specifically a Defence issue, this is a global issue. PFOS and PFOA have been used to dowse liquid fuel fires all over the world, but they've also been used in many household applications; they've also been used in many industrial applications. Many, many people, I'm told, in the developed world probably have traces of PFOS and PFOA in their system – that's a reality.
But look, as part of its response the Australian Government has announced the continuation of the financial assistance package that's available to fishers and businesses affected by the New South Wales Government's precautionary – and that is a key word – closures of the Tilligerry Creek and Fullerton Cove fisheries beyond 30 June – that was the deadline – and it's also introducing a new business transition payment. So they are important steps, and there's up to $25,000 to assist businesses to pursue alternative sources of income, and we've also committed to review the issue of property acquisition. I heard what was said in your… in the preamble, property acquisition once interim health reference values have been established in a comprehensive environmental investigation at the RAAF base at Williamtown has finished. Until those activities are finalised, and it's important that we do go through that full step, the Government is not in a position to determine the actual level of risk for existing property use.
But I do need to reassure listeners that we will be, Defence will be, the Government will be, continuing its consultation with the community, and we've had a team of people going up there, talking with people on a daily basis, attending regular meetings. That was the first task I made when I became the Assistant Defence Minister responsible for Defence estate back in late February, it was the first visit I made, was to Williamtown.
Okay, let's talk about the level of compensation; you said it would continue for some time. I want to go to the wife of a fisherman directly affected by this. Chantelle, how do you feel about the level of compensation?
CHANTELLE:
Look, I wouldn't even call it compensation to be honest with you, it's just ridiculous. Whoever put these packages together definitely needs a reality check, and to anybody who thinks that they can have a business transition package of up to 25 grand is pulling their own leg.
What, are you saying that's not enough?
Definitely not. My husband, that's all- I mean, he's third generation, it's all he knows is fishing, he's been doing it all of his life.
There's also the business hardship package of up to $20,000 as well. Is that also not enough?
Definitely not enough. I mean, we went through our up to $20,000 months ago, and now we're struggling to still cover the rest of our business overheads.
So how much do you think you would've lost since you weren't able to fish on this river?
Over at least $150,000.
Wow. What do you say to that, Michael McCormack?
Well look, we will continue to consult. We are extending, we are extending the payments for a period of eight weeks, and after 30 June that's when the New South Wales Government is due to make its decision on the current bans. Look, hopefully they will have reached that decision, if not we will obviously review it. We want to make sure that people at least have a way of continuing to live and to pay bills, et cetera. I appreciate this is a very hard thing; I saw the …
[Interrupts] So will you commit to more compensation? Chantelle says this is nowhere near enough.
Well look… and Defence will continue to consult with people and we will continue to hear their stories and we will continue to do our very best, but …
Yeah, all right. Well Michael McCormack, thank you so much for coming on the program and explaining the Government's point of view on this one. And Chantelle …
[Interrupts] And could I just encourage anyone affected by the closures… they are encouraged to contact the Department of Human Services to discuss their individual circumstances. They've got a direct hotline for this package – it's 1802322. I would encourage anybody who is facing hardship to ring that hotline and to explain the situation that they're in.
Alright. Thanks so much Michael McCormack.

The circular mail of the Vice-Rector Academic Affairs for the 2021/2022 winter semester includes the following rules for teaching activities:
The rules: Practicals and seminars can take place on site as long as there is 2.25m2 space for each person. This means that most of our teaching rooms can be filled up to 80% of their normal capacity.
How we plan to implement them: Chairs must be 1.5m away from each other. If this is not possible, masks must also be worn when seated. For lecture halls, the following seating arrangements apply: One seat must remain free between each participant and only every second row of seats may be occupied.
If the whole class cannot attend due to the limited capacity, a hybrid/online model should be used. For teaching activities that are repetitive content-wise, timetables should be offered that allow students to switch between online and on-site attendance.
Courses that can only be taught on site (laboratory practicals, excursions, etc.) are exempt from the room occupancy rule. In these cases, a hygiene concept and proof of the "3G status" (recovered, vaccination or tested) are required. Information on how to record proof of the 3G status will follow.
All exams can be conducted on site. In addition to the hygiene rules, all participants are required to provide proof of their 3G status.
Queries regarding room occupancy should be directed to the respective Academic Affairs Offices, Studies Co-ordinators, Dean's Offices or Schedule Planners. Please refrain from requesting room changes.
The deadline for rejecting exam results from the 2020/2021 winter semester is September 30, 2021; and from the summer semester 2021, March 31, 2022. The repetition deadlines will not be enforced for the 2021/2022 winter semester.
Measures for contact tracing, the university hygiene rules and the obligation to wear a mask remain unchanged.
These rules apply as of October 4 for all TUD locations until further notice.
+++ August 10th 2021 +++
TUD decided to maintain the obligation to wear a face mask in all facilites, regardless of an infection rate below 10.
+++ Jule 31st 2021 +++
Due to increasing number of infections, please note the renewed obliation to wear a mask in all facilities of TUD.
+++ 26.07.2021 +++
Obligation to test after a longer absence (e.g. vacation)
As of July 26, 2021, employees who have not worked for at least five consecutive working days due to vacations and comparable leaves of absence from duty or work are required to submit a negative test (taken on the same day) to the employer on their first day of work on site (no self-test). If you resume your work remotely (mobile work), the obligation applies to the first day on which you work on the premises of the university or at another workplace outside your own home (§ 9 para. 1 a SächsCoronaVO). The obligation for staff to conduct this test does not apply to individuals who have been fully vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2, or who can prove that they have recovered from a SARS-CoV-2 infection in the six months preceding the obligation to test.
Vaccination offer at the TU Chemnitz
The TU Chemnitz offers free vaccination appointments also for students and staff of other universities: https://www.tu-chemnitz.de/tu/bfau/faq-corona.php#collapse_impfung

Please consider taking up this offer and also spread the word among your fellow students.
Corona: Easing of restrictions and current measures
Thankfully, over the last few weeks, the number of infections has been steadily decreasing. This allows to gradually ease the restrictions at TU Dresden. However, prudence is still required - especially considering the rapidly spreading delta variant of the coronavirus. You can find more information about the so-called hands-face-space rules, Contact registration, self tests and events on campus in the circular letter of July 1.
Working remotely and on site
As of June 30, the obligation to work remotely was rescinded in accordance with the SARS-CoV-2 Occupational Health and Safety Ordinance. However, remote work - where possible – should still be given priority over on-site work. Information on the updated regulations is provided in a circular letter from the Chancellor and in the circular email for staff on June 29, 2021.

Vaccinations – Priority 3 According to the Ordinance on Coronavirus Vaccination
The Saxon State Ministry of Social Affairs and Social Cohesion has authorized the so-called Priority 3 group according to the Coronavirus Vaccination Ordinance of the Federal Government. With the amendment to the Coronavirus Vaccination Ordinance, all individuals working at institutions of higher education now belong to prioritization group 3 and are therefore entitled to be vaccinated with increased priority (§ 4, Paragraph 1, No. 8 of the Coronavirus Vaccination Ordinance). If you are classified as belonging to the prioritization group 3, you must still submit an employer's certificate. This has been adapted to the new legal framework conditions.
Circular mail of the Vice-Rector Academic Affairs: Information regarding the 2021 summer semester
Employer Certificate for COVID-19 Vaccinations – Priority 3
According to the Ordinance on Coronavirus Vaccination, public service staff who work in key positions (i.e. those who are indispensable for maintaining the operations of a public institution – in our case a university – as agreed at state government level) are now eligible to receive a vaccination. Additionally individuals working "in key positions in other critical infrastructure facilities, in particular (...), in transport and transportation well as in IT and telecommunications" would be eligible for a vaccination. The respective heads of the organizational units are requested to sign and issue the required employer certificate on their own authority. Circula letter of April 30.
Please note: new process flow in case of infection for employees and students.
+++ 16.4.2021 +++
Current information on self-tests and rapid tests
Please note: a negative self-test does not reliably exclude a corona infection! This means that social distancing, the wearing of masks, and compliance with hygiene and distance rules are still mandatory.
What is the current scientific evidence concerning this issue?
Especially at the beginning of an infection, the result - unlike PCR tests - is often still negative, although the person is already highly infectious. According to current findings, this affects around 40 percent of cases. Therefore, even a negatively tested and symptom-free person can infect other people.
Why are the self-tests useful anyway?
Even if not all infected persons are diagnosed, the quick tests can still be used to identify numerous (hidden and symptom-free) infections. This enables the chains of infection to be interrupted at an early stage and can prevent the further spread of the virus.

New Corona Protection Decree
valid from April 1 until the end of April 18, 2021

Translations in various languages are supposed to be found here.
Significant changes:
Inside buildings of TU Dresden as well as on its premises, it is mandatory to wear a medical facemask (so-called OP mask or surgical mask), FFP2 mask, or comparable respiratory masks, in each case without exhalation valve. It is not required to wear them directly at the workplace itself, if the minimum distances between persons can be maintained (e.g. in a single office).
All employees with direct customer contact are required to test or be tested twice weekly to rule out a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Customer contact means direct physical contact or contact with actual face-to-face meetings in the course of performing job duties. This includes employee contact with, for example, contractors or outside service providers. Contact with students is not deemed as "customer contact". The tests are ordered centrally and are provided free of charge. Proof of testing must be kept for a period of four weeks.
Data collection for contact tracing
Due to the new Corona Protection Ordinance, TU Dresden is obliged to also record the addresses of all persons entering the buildings for the purpose of contact tracing reasons. The data will be deleted after four weeks at the latest. The login tool will be adapted.

Decision of the University Executive Board: Until the end of the lecture period of the 2020/21 winter semester on February 6, 2021, teaching at TU Dresden is to be conducted digitally.

Call for compliance with hygiene regulations
Since the first semester activities led to five of eight new infections at TU Dresden, the University Executive Board is calling for compliance with the university-wide concept of measures. In addition to making the wearing of masks compulsory in the buildings, a process flow for cases of student infection / staff infection and an infrastructure for working remotely have been established, as well as the provision of plans for room usage, on-site teaching and on-site examinations. The containment of the infection is also the responsibility of the individual, first and foremost by adhering to the distancing regulations and by avoiding unnecessary activities.
+++ 26th October 2020 +++ 11:15 pm
Compulsory collection of contact information
The University Executive Board wrote to the staff and students on October 23rd and 26th: Members of staff may switch to working remotely with minimal restrictions on existing operations and in consultation with their respective supervisor, if they are unable to maintain the minimum social distances in the workplace, if they belong to a risk group, or if they have a valid reason (e.g. closure of childcare facilities).
All members of staff and students who visit TU buildings and facilities must register either online in advance or on site from October 27th. Please find the link to a corresponding tool here (https://tud.link/rpyb). The general provisions have been adapted accordingly.
