Few traditions in the history of West Coast art reach back as far as the California Art Club, founded in 1909. It remains a home for generations of painters and sculptors, and is about to host its "105th Annual Gold Medal Exhibition," opening Sunday, April 3 at the Autry Museum of the American West.
The Club and "Gold Medal Exhibition" were originally formed as a showcase for the era's lush California Plein Air landscapes, but has over the decades evolved into a gathering of traditional techniques often used amid contemporary subjects and attitudes. The settings range from the vast landscapes of Californian wilderness to traffic jams and graffiti-covered walls of the inner-city.
"Overall it's about quality work and diversity," says painter Joseph Todorvich, 38, whose work has been included in the Art Club's exhibition for the last three years.

"There are a lot of emerging events with extremely wonderful painters and sculptors, but what sets this show aside is its history," Todorvich adds. "That's one of the main reasons I find it such an honor to be a part of it. When you can directly link the present art to historical artwork that is time-tested and proven, it's a special thing. The heritage is really rich."
Among the more than 200 pieces is Todorvich's "Outing," depicting two young women in black resting beside an upturned umbrella on an apparently windblown hillside. There is also Nancy Popenoe's nighttime scene of our most famous local waterway in golden and purple hues with classic widescreen dimensions in "L.A. River," while Mian Situ paints safely from the tree-lined shore as waves crash violently nearby in "Pacific Breeze."
Another of the show's artists is Jeremy Lipking, 40, whose paintings mingle figurative work and landscapes, often created at his cabin up in the Eastern Sierra mountains. In the "Gold Medal Exhibition," he has "Chantal," a portrait of a woman in profile, wrapped in deep red, gazing into the distance and a rich blue sky.
"It's such a fun thing to be in a show that's been happening for so long and have so much history — especially as a California artist," says Lipking, who lives in Calabasas. "I grew up here and have lived in California my whole life. Even before I made a living as an artist, I looked up to some of the early California painters who were members of this organization."

Lipking's father is an artist, so he grew up going to art shows, but got serious about pursuing a career in art during his early 20s. He was partly inspired by the example of the early California impressionist Edgar Payne, and eventually turned to the California Art Club.
"When I first joined, it seemed the California art world was pretty small and isolated. It's different now with social media — but back then, I didn't know this big community of artists," says Lipking, who had two paintings at the Autry's other annual group exhibition, "Masters of the American West." "When I first got involved with the Club, I met people who were doing the same thing I was doing — painting outdoors, painting from life and painting nature."
Attached to the exhibition are several educational programs for the public. On opening day, artists Jim McVicker and Kate Sammons (with California Art Club President Peter Adams) will lead the panel discussion "Giving Life to Still Life" at 1 p.m. On April 9 is "The Makings of a Great Art Collection," a tour of the California Impressionism Exhibition with Plein Air expert .
For Todorvich, joining the Art Cub was an essential part of his education and growth as a creative artist, after first getting involved as spectator almost 15 years ago.

"I was drawn to the Art Club because of the excellent work I had been seeing in the magazines," says Todorvich, who is currently also being exhibited at the Maxwell Alexander Gallery in Culver City. "I just wanted to be a part of it. I wanted to be around the artists who were involved in it. It was important to be engaged as a student and be able to paint with these people. That's how I started out."
He found opportunities to be part of a mentorship program there, and witnessed other artists winning awards at the "Gold Medal Exhibition," which he recalls now as "the most encouraging and motivating thing that a young artist can be a part of."
He says the "Gold Medal" exhibition presents artists displaying diversity, while exploring "where art has been and also where it's going. You can see the lineage and where it can be taken. We're always trying to push things and create new things that people have never seen before."

Home Short Track Features Layne Riggs hoping CARS Tour event at Rockingham leads to track's revival
Richard Allen December 17, 2020 December 17, 2020 Features, Short Track
Layne Riggs(Photo: @LayneRiggs99 on Twitter)
When the topic of venerable old race tracks that helped build the legacy of stock car racing in America arises, the name of the Rockingham Speedway has to be included in the discussion. The 1.017-mile speedway hosted the NASCAR Cup Series from 1965 to 2004 with fabled last names such as Petty, Earnhardt, Yarborough, Pearson, Waltrip and Allison listed as former winners. And now, the historic venue is about to be brought back to life after years of sitting idle.
This past Tuesday, the Solid Rock Carriers CARS Tour Late Model Stock Car division staged a tire test in preparation for the 'Welcome to the Rock 100' that is scheduled to take the green flag on March 6, 2021. Layne Riggs, Timothy Peters, and Jared Fryer participated in the session.
A second tire test is slated for next Tuesday.
Riggs enjoyed the speed associated with racing a track twice the size of one the short track-based series normally competes on. The 18-year-old driver also pointed out that much of the character associated with the rough and worn racing surface still remains intact.
"You just get that raw sense of speed, you're using so much throttle and you're going so fast," Riggs recounted in an interview with InsideCircleTrack.com. "You have such a little gear in the car so you know that you're getting really high top speeds. It's really odd when you get that little gear because it feels like the car has no horsepower, it's hard to even spin the tires."
The track's character called for the No. 99 team to adapt its setup throughout the day.
"Rockingham is such an aggressive track with a lot of banking and a lot of rough little bumps here and there," Riggs explained. "The bumps really gave you a sense of how fast you're going as you skip across them. We thought we were pretty well prepared with the car for a track that would be as aggressive as that but we came in and our expectations were too low. The whole race car hit the track on multiple runs and we kept having to work to get it up off the race track, which was something we weren't expecting."
The Bahama, NC native says that learning the nuances of the track will be one of the keys to success when the competition takes place this spring.
"The more throttle you can use the faster you're going to be going," he described. "One and two are very different corners from three and four. One and two are a couple of degrees flatter so we had to lift all the way off the gas at one point then slowly get back to it. The turn two wall comes up really quick so that's the trickier corner. Three and four is more of a maintain corner so we get in there and barely lift out of the gas depending on how good your one and two was. Three and four, to me, was a lot more fun because you can use more throttle and you're going a whole lot faster because of the banking. But I think the race is going to be won in one and two. Whoever can get through those corners better is going to be the winner."

Late Model Stock Cars require drivers to maintain momentum to produce the best lap times. Unlike their Super Late Model counterparts, the LMSC machines do not have an over abundance of power at the driver's disposal. But Riggs believes that very factor creates better racing.
"Momentum is key in Late Model Stocks, even on the short tracks we go to," the two-time winner on the CARS Tour this past season said. "The Super Late Model is like the ultimate race car with an offset chassis, pretty much as much power as you would want at your fingertips, and a couple hundred pounds lighter. Everything a super has is what we want to do but our rules don't let us do that, but in comparison, I think the Late Model Stocks put on a better show for that reason. I think at Rockingham, having so little power and a chassis that's very similar to an Xfinity or Busch car from back in the day, I think we'll put on a good show."
There is still work to be done. General Tire wants to see how other compounds behave on the abrasive racing surface in the upcoming tire test.
"We had the one tire test and they only brought one type of compound and they were pretty confident in it, but it ended up not working out so the plan is to go back next Tuesday," he described. "I think they want to try some different compounds to see what's going to work. They asked me what kind of tire I would want, something really grippy that's going to wear or something harder that's not going to fall off that much, and I said give me the hardest thing you've got."
The young driver would rather race hard than have to concern himself with tire management on a track known to wear rubber quickly. He further explained that his tires showed signs of chunking during the test due to a tight condition.
"I'm not so intrigued about having the grip and the raw speed," he went on. "I'd rather have everybody on hard tires and everybody be able to slip and slide and race as hard as you want to. To me, tire conservation isn't as much fun as racing as hard as you can, slipping and sliding, and beating and banging. Hopefully we can work out something with the tire compound so we don't have to save that much tire."
Even with the business of a tire test to conduct, the historic nature of the facility was not lost on this second generation racer.
"For sure, especially when you first arrive at the race track," Riggs replied. "The track, with the condition it was in, was kind of like an antique. It definitely brought those memories up. I'm just glad we're able to do something like this and race on such a historic track. I'm glad it's coming back to life. Rockingham is a great track. Hopefully this event will be big enough and will be broadcast enough that it will raise some attention and possibly be able to bring back the higher levels of NASCAR back to it."
Riggs' father, Scott Riggs, raced in the top divisions of NASCAR and competed in multiple events at Rockingham. He even scored at top-5 finish there in what is now called the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The younger Riggs says his dad offered some advice on how to best get around the track.

"He didn't really give me a lot but he did say that you need to carry as much momentum as you can," the son answered. "He told me to be careful more than enough times. He was more nervous going in than I was about it. The only thing he said was that the turn two wall comes up really quick. Besides that, he just said to conserve it. This is a tire test so we don't have to set any world records so just be smart and get some good data."

The current mechanical engineering student at UNC-Charlotte hopes to compete full-time again in the 2021 season on the CARS Late Model Stock Car Tour provided his coursework will allow for such. He very much would like to replace the memory of a stinging 1-point loss in last year's final standings to Jared Fryar.
"It was disappointing as anybody could imagine it would be. We're just trying to move on from it and do the best we can from here on out. I feel like I did the best I could last year after we had two DNF's and still were able to compete for a championship. I feel like we were pretty consistent and ran well up in the top-5 all year. Hopefully we can work more in the off-season and be able to go out and be stronger and not even have to be in a battle for the championship because we'll have enough points to win it by a landslide, but that's how everybody wants to do it."
Will single-driver domination of the power organization's last beyond 2020?

I purchased my TRS-80 in 1987. Radio Shack's original design problems were compounded by my rural location. The RFI interference precluded its use in the ham shack.
around and decided on the LNW. I ordered both circuit boards.
The circuit boards are silk screened and solder masked with plated-through holes. The processor board has a gold plated edge connector.
Two views of the interior of the LNW-80 built by the author. The expansion board has been lifted out and laid back to reveal the processor board. The power supply is on the right side, and the fan RFI filter and IC regulators with their heat sinks can be seen. Note the use of heavy wire to connect power to the expansion board. The expansion board shows the two piggyback boards: Percom Doubler and the programmable baud rate generator, The default RS-232 parameters are selected by switches seen at the lower right of the keyboard. The wires running off the picture on the left are remote vertical and horizontal position con- trols. The wire on the top right of the keyboard goes to the LED power light. The small to- roids clustered around the power supply are used in place of jumpers to help reduce noise.
The Z80 processor chip runs at 4MHz. Most of the circuit board design is a leap ahead of the TRS-80. The power supply has an off- board large capacitor. The design uses several IC regulators with overvoltage crow- bars and fuses for protection. This circuitry is clustered in one section of the board to keep heat from sensitive circuits. Heat sinks are manatory on the regulators.
made of heavy gauge steel..."
There are 90 ceramic and 18 tantalum capacitors on the board with only 0.1 volt of noise on the plus five line. The memory design has Schmitt trigger devices on all lines: the address lines have series termination. The result is a quiet memory. 200 nS memories are required with the 4MHz clock.
The character generator ROM can be a custom programmed 2716 or the TRS-80 character generator. The new Radic Shack ROM with lowercase descenders also works. For the language ROMs the two or three chip Radio Shack set or LNW six chip set will do. For the six chip set the ROMs are 2716s. The configuration is selected by a DIP switch of jumpers.
The processor speed is slowed to 1.77 MHz when the ROMs are accessed by in- serting wait states in the Z80. When run- ning the Basic interpreter, the speed in- crease over the TRS-80 is around 40 per- cent (depending on the application). When running machine language ROM indepen- dent software the LNW is more than twice the speed of the TRS-80.
The LNW-80 allows use of a Radio Shack keyboard or the LNW keyboard. There are two connectors on the circuit board. U30 and U34 must be removed to use the Radio Shack keyboard.
The foremost feature of the LNW is the on- board inclusion of high density black and white and color graphics consisting of six additional 4116s with support circuitry. It is controlled by an OUT command to port 254.
The graphics pixels use the same ad- dress space as the Basic ROMs, activated by an OUT to port 254 with bit 3 set. The command deactivates Basic making a ma- chine language driver necessary for graphics. This is fairly well documented in the manual. High and low resolution graphics and characters can be displayed at the same time.
The screen is divided into an inner and ex- tended region. The inner region is 384 by 192 pixels. The extended region is another 96 pixels horizontally. Addressing for the two regions differs slightly.
an RGB monitor. The color graphics re- quires a custom programmed 82S23 ROM, available from LNW. The ROM contents are detailed in the manual.
LNW lists a 24 by 80 character video screen in its advertising. This is a little de- ceptive. The LNW-80 has the capability of a 24 by 80 screen by utilizing the high density graphics, but to get it you have to write a driver program.
LNW's six chip ROM set costs $120. Con- sidering that 2716s go for about $6 each . I decided to program my own. But which ad- dress blocks go in which ROM socket? I called LNW and was told the information was proprietary! Some schematic study and experimenting revealed the truth as can be seen in Table 1.
The expansion board is of the same high quality as the printed circuit board, except the gold plating costs extra. (The plating is worth it.) It has the same good memory de- sign and Schmitt trigger drivers. There are 43 ceramic and 12 tantalum bypassing capacitors.
The board also has a few drawbacks. The printer port works okay if the printer is only a few feet from the port. You never want to hook a long line to the output of a D-type flip-flop. My printer is 20 feet away and 74LS175 will not drive it. I had to add buffering.
They cut corners on the RS-232 port. Wire jumpers select the default RS-232 parameters. Why not use a DIP switch? The baud rate is also a wire jumper, and is not software-select- able. You can change soldered jumpers about three times before the pads fall off or the plating pulls out. LNW should have added the one extra chip to make baud rates se- lectable. Or they could have laid out the DIP switch on the circut board.
nector. Do not solder one or, the board. When the board is in place inside the LNW cabinet there is no room to hook up to it with a plug. You also cannot use a straight connector. Besides. the connector pads are 16 inches from the nearest opening in the case. Use 25-wire extension cord.
The system expansion connector for out- side devices is at right angles to the back of the case. You have to take the cover off to use it.
Here is where the good designers at LNW went out to lunch en masse. The manual says the keyboard "is designed specifically for the LNW-80." The one I got was just a plain unencoded keyboard. A plastic bag with engraved keytops was included with instructions to replace certain keytops with the new ones. One of the new keytops was engraved sideways!
The key switches are the same wire finger switches that gave Radio Shack grief for so long. With this system, if you do not have a keyboard debounce fix, you will get keybounce in spades at 4MHz.
The circuit board is one-sided, with a large number of wire jumpers on top of the board. The keyboard has to sit on them and is difficult to seat fear soldering. Buy your keyboard someplace else. Radio Shack Model I keyboards are cheaper and superior. The LNW case is an attractive low profile cabinet made of heavy gauge steel with room inside for both circuit boards, key- board, power transformer, a muffin fan and RFI filter. Unfortunately it is overpriced. Build your own or buy a cabinet from Cramer.
The LNW-80 is, for the most part, a well designed, fast, effective computer. I use my LNW-80 with the Percom Doubler II and LDOS operating system. I have a time-of- day clock, plotter controller, music board and eight bit general purpose port attached to my expansion bus. I designed and install- ed a piggyback board for selectable baud rates on the RS-232. All is working well.

Choreographers Laura Aris and Jos Baker join forces to bring an evening of two solos that form one captivating performance. Let Sleeping Dogs Lie by Laura Aris and Of No Fixed Abode by Jos Baker center around themes of isolation, loneliness, sacrifice and wanderlust. Each solo brings a personal journey, a perspective.
A double bill performance, this evening of work reflects on issues raised by the transient lifestyle of a performer and brings two unique voices and movement languages to shared experiences. The proposals for these works were in gestation for several years, and over time, Jos and Laura have been external eyes on each other's work.
Of No Fixed Abode and Let Sleeping Dogs Lie is a co production of Sismògraf Dance Festival (Catalonia) and Roxy Theater in Basel (Switzerland); with the support of The Swedish Arts Grants Committee and residences at La Caldera (Barcelona), Destelheiden Art Center (Belgium), Studio Belgica and Ultima Vez studio (Brussels).
Jos worked for Peeping Tom, DV8 Physical Theatre. He has created several of his own works and performed in several audiovisual projects. He also teaches internationally, offering a range of classes and workshops for professional dancers at institutions including SEAD, TrinityLaban, The Place, Amsterdam Theatre school, Deltebre Dansa, PARTS Summer School, El Danseu Festival, and many others.
Los coreógrafos Laura Aris y Jos Baker unen fuerzas para componer una noche compuesta por dos solos . Let Sleeping Dogs Lie de Laura Aris y Of No Fixed Abode de Jos Baker circulan alrededor de temas como el aislamiento y la soledad. Cada comparte un viaje personal, una perspectiva.
Un programa doble; Una reflexión sobre temas similares, a raiz de compartir el estilo de vida transitorio del artista viajero. Cada uno aporta su voz única y lenguaje de movimiento particular. Ambas propuestas han estado en gestación durante varios años, y en los ultimos mese de creación se han convertido en el ojo externo del trabajo del otro.
Of No Fixed Abode y Let Sleeping Dogs Lie son coproducción del Festival de Danza Sismògraf (Cataluña) y se pre-estrenaran en Teatro Roxy en Basel-Suiza. Con apoyo del Comité de Subvenciones de Artes Sueco, Centro de Creación La Caldera (Barcelona), Centro de Arte Destelheiden (Bélgica), Studio Belgica y Ultima Viez en Bruselas.
Jos ha trabajado para Peeping Tom y DV8 Physical Theatre. Tiene varias obras de creación propia y ha participado en varios porjectos audiovisiales. También imparte cursos a nivel internacional, ofreciendo una variedad de clases y talleres para bailarines profesionales en instituciones incluyendo SEAD, Trinity Laban, The Place, Deltebre Dansa, PARTS Summer School, El Danseu Festival, entre otros.
"At Any Given Morning" is the result of the collaboration between two independent artists who come together under the frame work of The Anatomy of Broken Things, defined by Laura Aris within a personal curiosity that has led her to develop other projects under the same concept with several artist.

Since 1998, Y-Space maintains a platform named "Improvisation Land". It exists for artists of different media to meet and have an improvisational jam from time to time. In gathering artists from around the world and across the areas of dance, installation art, music, lighting design and visual arts, artists interact spontaneously - beyond the usual practice of choreographed performances. Being unpredictable could be risky, but it could also be a surprise.
Dance artist Mandy Yim and Victor Choi-wo established Y-Space in 1995 in Hong Kong. The aim is to explore the infinite possibilities of performance through dance and to search for new dance languages and ways of performing.

"I have been photographing dance for a few years.

Heralded as the most important day in a couple's lives, we acknowledge the celebration should not only be timeless but a true reflection of their personal style. Attention to this alone will help create a truly custom event and unique experience for everyone in attendance.
A symbolic turning point in a young man or woman's life, the celebration of becoming an adult is truly a family experience. It's important to pay tribute to the meaning of the day as well as the character of the individual. Attention to detail, whether it's playful or sophisticated, helps set your day apart from all the others you will attend.
From milestone birthdays to golden anniversaries and both bridal and baby showers, creating the perfect mood will make the guest(s) of honor feel truly celebrated. From an exquisitely manicured table for 12 to a no holds barred reception for over 100 the difference is in the details.

Sakutaro, un homme d'affaires d'une trentaine d'années, vit dans une spirale négative, jusqu'au jour où sa fiancée Ritsuko décide de le quitter.

Retour sur l'été 1986, Saku et Aki sont en seconde année du lycée. Aki est très belle et désespérément hors de portée pour le trop moyen Saku. Mais Aki lui porte un certain intérêt, et Saku est un peu comme son esclave, bien qu'il préférerait mourir que le montrer. Ils commencent à trainer ensemble, à faire des listes de ce qu'ils aiment et n'aiment pas. Puis, ils commencent à s'échanger des journaux intimes sur cassette audio et deviennent plus que des amis. Le point culminant est une nuit romantique sur une île inhabitée, et la révélation que Aki est mortellement malade. Saku, réalise qu'Aki a besoin de lui et qu'il sera là pour elle, quoi qu'il arrive. Mais il n'arrive pas à réaliser sa dernière demande, et 17 ans plus tard souffre encore en pensant à ce que cela aurait pu être...

(HealthDay News) — Almost eight million Americans have diabetes but don't know it, and that's despite the fact that about two-thirds of those with undiagnosed diabetes have seen a doctor two or more times in the past year, according to a study published in the November 18 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Researchers analyzing a national survey sample of 29,353 adults found that nearly three in 10 people with diabetes remain undiagnosed. They also discovered that 84.5% of those undiagnosed adults report that they have a usual health care provider. What's more, 66.5% said they'd had two or more visits in the past year.
The researchers also found that among those who were diagnosed, there was room for improvement in their care. Sixty-four percent of those diagnosed were meeting their blood glucose goals. About 66% had controlled blood pressure (<140/80mmHg). And, only 57% were meeting the goal of getting their LDL cholesterol <100mg/dL. When the authors looked at all three of those goals together, only about one-quarter (21.3%) were meeting their targets.

Where the South Dakota Senate candidates stand on the issues
Published by CatholicVote at October 17, 2014
But not this year. In three weeks, we need to win 6 Senate seats to remove pro-abortion Harry Reid from control of the Senate. The stakes are high.
In South Dakota, Rick Weiland (D) and Larry Pressler (I) are beginning to catch up to pro-life, pro-family, pro-religious liberty Mike Rounds (R) in the polls.
After researching the three candidates in light of Catholic doctrine, it is clear to us at CatholicVote.org that Mike Rounds is the right candidate for Catholic voters and all South Dakotans.
Since educating faithful Catholics and encouraging them to get to the polls is one of our main priorities, we have created these simple, single page, side-by-side candidate comparison flyers for your reference.
As Catholics, abortion, marriage, and religious liberty are at the top of our list. But we have included some other issues that people of faith should also consider when deciding on a candidate.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY:
The HHS mandate is a policy where the federal government forces employers to pay for abortion pills and other morally objectionable services. The United States Senate on March 1, 2012, rejected the Blunt Amendment which would have restored the religious liberty rights of all Americans who objected to being forced to pay for abortion pills. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of religious liberty in the Hobby Lobby case in June 2014.
Mike Rounds celebrated the Hobby Lobby religious freedom case. "Today's ruling is a tremendous victory for business owners and for those who believe in religious freedom in America. It's encouraging to see that the Supreme Court agrees with our belief that this failed healthcare policy goes too far, and family business owners should not be forced to give up their constitutional liberties and religious freedom to comply with bad policy."

Larry Pressler made no known public statement after Supreme Court's decision in favor of religious liberty in June 2014.

"Mike believes in local control of education, and while standards are important, a "one size fits all" directive from the federal government does not serve our children well. Mike will seek to abolish the US Department of Education and defund its budget including the 5000 employees with an average annual salary of $102,000 each." Source: Rounds for Senate campaign website

Håkan has worked as a nurse and director in the healthcare sector for more than 40 years. Just over three years ago, he became a patient when he was diagnosed with spread prostate cancer. For Håkan it was a matter of course to say yes.
Although he has worked in healthcare for so long and has a medical education, it took a while for him to take the classic symptoms seriously.
– I had problems peeing, but i thought it was probably prostatitis. The months went by and the trouble continued and worsened, there was blood in the urine and I started having back pain, but I thought there was something wrong with the kidneys and continued to ignore the thoughts that it could be something more serious.
Late in the autumn of 2014 Håkan had acute pains and was taken in to the emergency room at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. When it was at worst, he could hardly turn over in bed. After taking blood tests and receiving pain medication, he returned home. Two days later he received a call from Andreas Josefsson, resident in urology (read a separate interview with Andreas here).
– I was called to a meeting and told that I had a spread and aggressive form of prostate cancer. It was clearly shocking and at first I did not really think that it was true. But I got plenty of time to digest the information. The response I received was fantastic, professional and empathic.
It is early morning. It has now been more than three years since Håkan got the bad news. We meet at Sahlgrenska Cancer Center. Next to Håkan is Victor, Håkan's husband and life-companion, who has been involved in all visits to the clinic; an invaluable support when life is shaky and Håkan runs out of power and energy. Four ears also hear better than two, Håkan says and smiles.
– In connection with the diagnosis, I got the question of participating in a clinical study. I received an information brochure that I read in peace and quiet at home, and I immediately decided to attend. I see it as a privilege to be able to be involved in and contribute to research. As a atient, you are also very vulnerable, it felt safe to have close contact with the medical care and at the same time be given the opportunity for a good follow-up, says Håkan.
The purpose of clinical studies is to help improve quality in healthcare, establish new treatments and develop staff skills.
The study that Håkan participates in is about investigating whether circulating tumor cells in the blood can be characterized and help predict and tailor-make treatment in patients with spread prostate cancer. Which drugs are most effective? What changes have occurred in the tumor cells when the treatment is no longer working?
– In addition to leaving a tissue sample at my first visit, I leave a venous blood sample at every visit, including both common samples and samples for research. It feels meaningful to contribute, the research is concrete and aimed at helping patients in the form of better diagnostics and treatment.
By investigating circulating tumor cells in the blood, researchers hope to be able to develop biomarkers that can predict the treatment best suited for each individual patient with spread prostate cancer early on.
Håkan has gone through several lines of treatment; hormone therapy, cytostatic treatment, radiation. He has also tested a new innovative treatment with radiotherapy.
Thanks to research and development, he has gained access to a cold cap and thus managed to keep his hair, despite tough treatments.
– That means a lot, it is hard enough to live with a chronic cancer disease.
There is no cure for Håkan's disease, there are no treatment options left, but there are therapies that delay disease development and increase quality of life.
– By participating in a clinical study, I hope that my contribution can help move research forward so that patients like me can get effective treatment in the future.
No economic compensation is given, but Håkan thinks that he gets compensation in other ways.
– I have a contact nurse that I can get hold of easy. I also have lots of support from the doctors involved in the research. I often think about how privileged I am. We live in a country with access to advanced care and treatment, without having to pay a lot for it.
Two years ago Håkan and Victor got married, surrounded by friends and colleagues in the Town hall in Gothenburg. They spent their honeymoon in Portugal, one of several exciting places on their list of countries to visit..
– We want to live, take every opportunity. I also try to use every day the best way I can. I go for walks every day, even though I am in pain and have problems with lactic acid in the muscles.
For Victor it has been a matter of course to support Håkan and follow him to all healthcare meetings. He works as an assistant nurse at Sahlgrenska University Hospital and as a relative he has experienced strong support from managers and colleagues and the healthcare system.
– We have been treated so well. I am grateful for being able to join and support Håkan on his journey through moments of sadness and despair. Together we try to live the best life we can, here and now.
Read the interview with Andreas Josefsson, the doctor who has treated Håkan.

Chef ArChan Chan on Creating Ho Lee Fook's New Menu and Developing Dishes During Quarantine
"It finally seemed like the time was right to return home."
Ho Lee Fook announced its reopening last month, revealing all-new interiors, and a menu created by their new head chef, ArChan Chan. Previously the executive chef at Level 33 in Singapore, the Hong Kong native tells Tatler Dining all about her decision to return back home, how Ho Lee Fook's new menu compares to the old, and her favourite restaurant in Hong Kong right now.

After spending three years in Singapore, why did you decide to return to Hong Kong?
I always knew I wanted to come back to Hong Kong because my friends and family are all here, but in those 14 years I spent abroad, I was really able to see how much the local culinary scene has grown and evolved.
Hong Kong has become such a dynamic place to be part of the hospitality industry and so when the opportunity presented itself to join Black Sheep Restaurants, take the reins of the institution that was Soho's Ho Lee Fook and be part of bringing it forward into its next chapter, well, it finally seemed like the time was right to return home.
How did you start the conversation with Black Sheep for your role as head chef for Ho Lee Fook?
Interestingly enough, I think it was all due to a Tatler article I did when I released my first book, Hong Kong Local. The article was about the places where I missed dining in Hong Kong, and I mentioned Belon and Ho Lee Fook—whenever I would visit Hong Kong, they were some of my favourite restaurants. It was around this time that Chris [Mark, group co-founder] and the Black Sheep Restaurants team reached out.
What made you want to lead the team at Ho Lee Fook?
There is so much talent here on the team. People like chefs Jack and Jordan have been such a huge part of the Ho Lee Fook story so far and we've been able to learn a lot from each other, bouncing off ideas and trying new things in the kitchen.
I'm very glad to have a team that is passionate about Cantonese food and whose love and care for the cuisine shines through the work they do. Working with people who hold this kind of natural fire and drive for their work… well, I couldn't ask for more. Experience can be taught but attitude is hard to train.
Above A dinner spread at Ho Lee Fook (Source: Black Sheep Restaurants)
How would you say the new Ho Lee Fook differs from the old as a whole?
This next chapter for Ho Lee Fook is more unapologetically Cantonese in spirit; we really want to make sure that every aspect of our DNA embraces this. It is more luxurious and feels a bit more elevated, but at the core of what we do is still that same great, boisterous hospitality that makes it one of the restaurants you want to keep going back to.
How is your cooking style different from chef Jowett Yu?
We both spent a lot of time abroad, specifically in Australia, so I think there are definitely some similarities. Over there, because it is so far away and such a young country, you learn to use whatever is available and there are fewer restrictions on the dishes and ingredients are meant for each kind of cuisine.
But for the new Ho Lee Fook, I really want to focus on showcasing more Cantonese things. When I think of the ingredients I use in a dish, I also think about whether or not this will confuse guests with what we are trying to achieve, so even if there is an ingredient that I think might bring an amazing flavour to a dish, if it doesn't fit the end goal, then I won't use it.
Are there any of his old dishes that you're keeping?
Jow is an amazing chef. He and the Ho Lee Fook team, including chefs Jack and Jordan, who are still with us today, created some great dishes that have moved into true signatures for the restaurant experience. Guests who join can still expect to find their favourite wagyu short rib or Prawn Toast x Okonomiyaki on the menu.

What are some of your favourite dishes that you've created for Ho Lee Fook?
The Live Razor Clams and Stir-fry King are both dishes that I put a lot of time and care into developing. I have fond memories of eating fresh razor clams with my family, and the stir-fry king is a true Hong Kong-born dish straight from Sham Shui Po, but the double-steamed broth is easily my favourite item on the menu. You have this very clean flavour of the broth that took a lot of time and work to achieve, and for me, it is just a very comforting dish.
How did you come up with the ideas and how long did it take you to "perfect" each dish until you were satisfied? Can you give me an example of the process?
When I create a dish, there is always an idea of a flavour I want to achieve, and I think about that flavour a lot. For that dish, I not only want to reach that idealised flavour but I strive to achieve something beyond the initial idea. For a dish like the razor clams, which in its natural form is close to perfect already, I was trying to consider what I could add not just for the sake of adding something, but to bring something that would really enhance the umami of the dish; this is when I thought about the fermented garlic soy. This is what I was brainstorming all throughout my quarantine.
Fermented or aged ingredients add to the tone and depth of a dish, so this aged garlic soy brought a whole new dimension to the garlic flavour without being overpowering, plus the minute taste of vinegar from the fermented soy brought just a bit of acidity, which we know goes well with seafood. So far this dish has received positive feedback!
What's your favourite type of cuisine and dish?
Honestly, Cantonese! But a close second is my passion for Korean food. I love the philosophy of Korean cooking—they use everything when it comes to an ingredient. For example, they don't ferment for the umami or just for the sake of fermenting, they ferment so that they don't waste any bit of the ingredient, always thinking of ways to preserve the produce they have and stretch it into that next dish.
In Cantonese cuisine, I'm really a fan of any chicken dish. When I think about a dish that my family or grandma would cook, it is always a simple steamed chicken with fungus and goji berry because it is very comforting. For Korean, a stew or a soup would be my go-to.
What new restaurants in Hong Kong have you tried and loved since you came back?
I have been able to try a lot of different places since returning to Hong Kong, but I'm more interested in the tried and true institutions that exist. One of my favourites in the past few months has been The Chairman; I went there with really high expectations and they 100% delivered. As a chef, I know the story behind what they want to achieve and I can taste that in their food. They just bring a lot of different levels of flavour to the table, and that is something that I really loved.
See also: How Hong Kong's The Chairman Restaurant Redefines Chinese Fine Dining
How are Singapore and Hong Kong's dining cultures different?
There are a lot of similarities between the two cities, they both have a very diverse selection of cuisines and the diners are interested in trying new things from all over the world, but this also means that they are a very critical and knowledgeable audience when it comes to the food they are eating.
One of the main differences I've noticed is that Singapore has been able to keep a lot of the hawker community alive, whereas in Hong Kong these local community places, like our cha chaan tengs, have become a bit of a disappearing culture. Hawkers in Singapore still have a large presence and remain places where you can get this really good, affordable, simple food that has been part of the local culture for so long.

Roku to Acquire Nielsen's Addressable TV Advertising Business
Roku will add a fat stack of ad tech to its streaming platform under a deal to buy Nielsen's Advanced Video Advertising business, putting Roku in position to offer a fully addressable advertising solution for TV programmers.
Under the agreement, announced Monday, Roku will obtain Nielsen's video automatic content recognition (ACR) technology and dynamic ad insertion (DAI) system, which can replace ads in linear feeds with targeted, household-level spots on over-the-top streaming platforms. In addition, Nielsen and Roku are entering into a multiyear pact under which data from Roku's platform will be incorporated into the forthcoming Nielsen One cross-media measurement solution.
For Nielsen, the deal marks its exit from the video ad-tech business. The Roku pact "demonstrates Nielsen's laser focus on measurement," said Scott Brown, Nielsen's GM of audience measurement.
Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed. The sale of Nielsen's AVA business to Roku is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
The combo of Nielsen's video ad technology with Roku's platform and broad reach — it tallied 51.2 million active accounts at the end of 2020 — will let Roku deliver the benefits of streaming advertising to traditional TV networks, said Louqman Parampath, the company's VP of product management for advertising.
"Roku will bring the promise of DAI to the market for the first time ever at scale," Parampath said.
Nielsen's Advanced Video Advertising group had struck deals for addressable advertising tests with TV programmers including Disney, CBS, Discovery, Fox, NBCUniversal, WarnerMedia, A+E Networks and AMC Networks. After the deal closes, Parampath said, Roku plans to have "renewed conversations" with those media partners as well as other smart TV makers about working with Roku to enable addressable ads.
In addition, Roku's base of smart TVs and other devices will be pulled into the Nielsen One proposed cross-media currency spanning streaming and traditional TV, augmenting the company's existing deals for data from DirecTV, Dish and Vizio smart TVs. All told, Nielsen One will draw on nearly 100 million devices with the addition of Roku. Nielsen's Brown commented, "As Roku brings the power of dynamic ad insertion to all forms of TV, we're excited to help monetize the addressable market by measuring smart TV as a currency."
Under the companies' long-term commercial agreement, Roku will implement support for Nielsen Total Ad Ratings (TAR) measurement on its platform. Specifically, Roku's OneView media sales and ad-buying platform will natively integrate Nielsen Digital Ad Ratings (DAR) for advertisers. Roku also will let content partners add support for Nielsen Digital Content Ratings (DCR). Roku launched OneView after acquiring demand-side platform provider Dataxu in October 2019.
When the deal closes, Roku will bring on the approximately 100 Nielsen AVA employees — including GM Kelly Abcarian — and assume ownership of Nielsen's portfolio of ACR and DAI patents. Roku TV models already include support for Nielsen ACR and will add digital-ad insertion capabilities in "the near future," the company said.
U.S. spending on addressable TV advertising — still just a fraction of the total TV ad market — is expected to reach $3.6 billion by 2022, up 75% from August 2020, according to recent estimates by research firm eMarketer. And through the deal with Nielsen, Roku is angling to get a bigger piece of that pie.
Nielsen formed the Advanced Video Advertising group in February 2019, after acquiring addressable TV technology company Sorenson Media for $11.25 million in a bankruptcy-court proceeding. Nielsen obtained the ACR tech through its 2017 acquisition of metadata provider Gracenote, and acquired Qterics, a smart TV software and privacy management vendor.
Nielsen's deal to sell AVA comes after the company in November 2020 sold the Nielsen Global Connect retail-sales measurement business (now called NielsenIQ) to private-equity firm Advent International for $2.7 billion.

It's week two of the Strong Family Challenge and it's time to try new things with the family outdoors. Yes, every family needs to spend time together enjoying the season and making memories.
What are your plans for this summer? Well, I just started planning mine and can't wait for outdoor fun we have planned!
From hitting the beach, to walking in the park or just enjoying an ice cream, there's so many outside activities to maintain and strengthen the family unit during this sizzling season.
Plus, this summer, I'm focusing on frugal fun. Let's be real; making wonderful memories doesn't have to cost a lot of money!
So take your Mom's Summer Survival Guide, your calendar, and pen, and let's start planning our outside fun!
Your eyes need to see the water and your feet want to touch the sand (at least mine do), and it's time to plan that long-awaited visit to the beach or lake.
As you take each family member into consideration, remember that everyone has something valuable and important to contribute to planning the trip. Plan together snacks, entertainment and even beach games. The fun does not start on the water, but in your home as you plan your adventures.
If you have a pool at your house, it's time to clean it out and dive in. If you don't have a pool, sprinklers are great fun too, and the cost is minimum for maximum enjoyment! Kids (and grown ups too) love the water in this season.
Have a movie night under the stars by making a giant movie screen. Here's a great tutorial from Wholesome Mommy that will make this project a reality!
Take a trip to the ice cream shop and buy a favorite ice cream/sweet treat for the family. Instead of taking the order to go, sit outside and have intentional conversation while enjoying a delicious treat.
Conversation is a great way to start strengthening your family bond this summer!
Create an atmosphere of trust and open the lines of communication with these easy conversation cards.
The park is another fun frugal family activity and the activities are endless!
Plan a schedule of games, including old favorites such as jump rope, hopscotch, and Simon Says.
Visiting an historical site is a perfect activity for the family. Not only is it fun, it's something you can do together to discover new things.
Is there a historical place near your home you can easily visit? Or is there a site in a nearby town or state you want to see? Education is a fabulous reason to take the family on a road trip!
Consider visiting your state capitol, and check out the National Registry of Historic Places for other must-see sites near you.
Let's celebrate and give thanks to God for the seasons that He has given us to spend with our family. Let's be intentional and take full advantage to unite, strengthen and grow the family in every opportunity we have.
What are your favorite outside summer activities?
How do you keep outside adventures frugal and affordable?
Congratulations to Maria Hass, the winner of last week's Strong Family Challenge! Leave your comments below or on Facebook regarding your favorite way to bond with your family outdoors, and you could win a $25 Amazon gift card this week!

Sarah, thanks for having me collaborating with you in this great project! Blessings!
Thank you so much for sharing your hear with us! Hugs!
I love spending time at the beach (which only happens a few times a year) or by the pool at my parents or in-laws. Our kiddo loooves the water, it's one thing that will occupy him for hours!
I agree! Anything water related and that could take up our whole day. I LOVE it!
Thanks so much for the fun, frugal ideas, Sarah Ann.
Blessings to you and yours for a wonderful summer!
Thank you, Heather! May the cards (and these easy ideas) bless your family this summer! Enjoy!
Great ideas! We are starting our summer activity challenge and I would love to incorporate some of your ideas! Hope you have a fun and active summer!
Thank you so much, Kelly! I look forward to checking out your challenge! It's a pleasure to meet you!
This is great, and the printables will be so nice to have. I just love this series! Thank you so much!
My kids are grown, but I have two grandchildren and as a teacher I have summers off. One day during the week we have "Grammie date." On my Thankful Fridays post each week I write about our date and where we go, what we do. Last week we visited a botantical garden, the week before that was the zoo. This week my grandson attended summer camp with me at my school while his parents took his sister one-on-one to the beach. Next week I have her one-on-one for the week. So I consider myself lucky to be able to do it all over again with my grandchildren.
That's a special time! Enjoy!
Either taking walks or time at the cabin!
Love the family conversation cards. Great way to spend some time talking and away from the electronic devices.
Thank you! May they bless the families that use them!
These are great ideas!! I can't wait to do some of them!!
Wonderful! I can't wait to hear about the fun times you have!
We have a huge glass jar I'm going to place these cards in and have each child taking turns picking at least one a week!
What a fabulous idea! It's always fun to start a new tradition with the family!
My family really needs to spend more time together. Thank you for the wonderful ideas to share with my husband.
Well, enjoy your time together, whatever you choose to do!

MMM Ponzi Scheme returns, woos Nigerians again - NAN
MMM ponzi scheme returns
Notorious Mavrodi Mundial Moneybox (MMM), the Ponzi scheme which dashed the hope of over three million Nigerians in 2017, is back.
The new version known as MMM Cooperation promises as much as 50 percent return on any amount invested in it — 20 percent more than what the extinct version offered.
Just like the previous version, participants are to register, invest a particular amount in the form of "providing help" and "get help" with their investment and interest back after 30 days.
And some Nigerians are falling for it yet again!
The scheme had announced a shut down in April 2018 following the death of Sergei Mavrodi, its founder.
"After much deliberation, we have made the conclusion that continuing the system operation, without our leader and ideological inspirer, is impossible and makes no sense," a message on MMM Nigeria website had read.
In a surprising turn of events, however, the scheme announced it had re-launched globally since January "to make Mavrodi's legacy worthwhile."
"Like sunrise in the morning , MMM Cooperation set the pace on the 22nd of January 2019 all over the world.
"From negligence by many to fear of unknown by prospective participants at the beginning; we are were we are today being most populous platform all over the world with six million participants all in space of four months," a message on its website read.
One of the coordinators who gave his name as Guider Tee on twitter, said the new MMM is in over 170 countries.

Labor moves on CFA now federal election is over
The Andrews Labor Government has confirmed the fears of local volunteers by today reintroducing to Parliament its divisive and flawed legislation to smash up the CFA.
Member for Lowan, Emma Kealy MP condemned the move and said Daniel Andrews had clearly been waiting to get the Federal Election out of the way before they again introduced the Bill.
"This is a terribly sad day for CFA volunteers who have committed years to an organisation in service to the community," Ms Kealy said.
"Daniel Andrews is hell bent on tearing the CFA apart to give the United Firefighters Union control of the organisation.
"Labor has again arrogantly introduced a bill which means CFA volunteers who get cancer won't receive compensation unless the UFU also gains control of firefighting operations."
The bill seeks to create Fire Rescue Victoria, staffed only by career firefighters. Under the changes, the CFA will become a volunteer-only body, but paid staff will be contracted back to the organisation.
"This has no practical change to Daniel Andrews' first plan to merge the CFA and the MFB because the union will still have the power to dictate to volunteers by setting the conditions those staff work under," Ms Kealy said.
The Bill also hands control of the state's 35 integrated stations to the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB), sidelining volunteers in those stations and putting the state's surge capacity at risk.
"In major bushfires, our brigades rely on help from volunteers in those integrated stations to provide extra support," Ms Kealy said.
"We live in one of the most fire-prone parts of the state and without that support, I really worry that we won't be able to get the help we need in the event of a big fire."
Ms Kealy said CFA volunteers were the casualties of Labor's plan to pay back its debt to the UFU which campaigned to get Daniel Andrews into government in 2014.
"Since 2014, the CFA has lost 3534 operational volunteers. Our CFA volunteers are exhausted by the four-year fight they have had with a Premier who arrogantly disregards their concerns," Ms Kealy said.
"I won't stop fighting for our CFA volunteers. They don't deserve to be treated in this way."

Tom Jones: The Voice star leaves fans confused with cryptic post before confirming project
Tom Jones discusses receiving his coronavirus vaccine
Sir Tom Jones has been dropping clues about his latest release on social media all this week. The singer, who turned 80 in June, posted a picture of what could be a new single or album cover online, sending fans into a frenzy with anticipation and excitement.
The colourful artwork posted on Twitter last night read: "Tom Jones Surrounded By Time."
The Voice UK coach captioned the image, which he shared with his 595,500 followers, simply: "Coming Soon".
Many rushed to the comments section of the post to express their delight, after trying to guess what Tom's new project could be.
Despite the most obvious answer being new music from the crooner, some followers thought Tom could be releasing a book or even a film.
"So silly question…. This is a new album? Not a single or book? Hope you extend your book with new chapters in the future as well," one social media user wrote alongside the post.
"I believe it's a movie," a second person offered.
"Oh could it be an extra tour?" a third remarked.
"Still don't know what it is, but if it's from you I'll be ordering!" a fourth fan exclaimed.
"It's a New book!, the New album! A script, a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman, lol! The intoxicating suspense of games & making us guess, love it!"(sic) another follower said, clearly enjoying the guessing game.
Other fans spoke of their excitement at the prospect of new music from the octogenarian.
"This is good news in these dark days. At last something fabulous to look forward to. How many sleeps until we know a date for release?? I'm super looking forward to this."
"Talk about something to cheer me up on a day when everything seems to be going wrong! I can't believe I'm living to see the release of a new Tom Jones record! Has anyone else released an album at 80???? Now someone will have to release a new album at 100 to compete!"(sic) another added.

On Instagram this morning, Tom confirmed that he would be releasing new material.
Alongside a short clip on his new track, he shared the news on the picture-sharing site.
"Coming tomorrow, my brand new song Talking Reality Television Blues taken from my forthcoming album Surrounded by Time."
During a recent television appearance Tom told fans that he had been working on some new music during the first national lockdown, which would soon be released.
Talking to Jools Holland on his annual Hootenanny show on New Year's Eve, the singer spoke of his plans for 2021.
"I recorded an album just before the lockdown, at the beginning of the year," he said.
"We've been mixing it and putting it together. That's what I'll be looking forward to," he told the 62-year-old pianist.
Providing the coronavirus restrictions allow it, Tom is also set to go on tour later this year.
While chatting to the host, the ITV star revealed that he'd already had the COVID-19 jab, giving him extra protection from the virus for the year ahead.
He said it was the one perk of his age.
"That's one good thing about being 80. You're first in line for the jab," Tom quipped.
