Our research is making a long-term, sustainable impact across health, economics, policy, technology, environment and society.
Monash University Malaysia boasts some notable research projects that are trying to change the world for the better. We believe that great research, when properly applied, can lead to lasting and positive change in the world.
Solar energy! The way towards sustainable development
Electric buses do not contribute to carbon emissions on the road, but when they are charged using electricity from power plants which are fueled by fossil fuels, they indirectly impact the environment. Dr Arshad Adam Salema from the School of Engineering focuses on a sustainable solution for the electric bus transport system in Malaysia using solar energy. The project will showcase for the first time a viable solution to develop an integrated low-carbon township in Sunway City.
COVID-19 does not discriminate
Deaf and hard of hearing individuals face special challenges during the pandemic. This inspired a team of researchers from the Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences' HEAlthcaRE needs of the Deaf program to collaborate with the Malaysian Federation of the Deaf and the Malaysian Sign Language and Deaf Studies Association to develop the Malaysian Sign Language (BIM) video translations of the COVID-19 Screening Questions.
Skin treatment: Moving towards natural products
Natural products have been acknowledged for their nutritional and healing benefits. They are also known to be quick fixes for simple skin problems such as rashes, pimples, and dry patches on the face. Dr Goh Bey Hing from the School of Pharmacy is delving deep into these remedies to understand better why they are effective.
Managing online forums in the age of misinformation
Social media platforms and online discussion forums have given a voice to users without holding them accountable for the accuracy of what they say. Dr Ian Lim Wern Han from the School of Information Technology is using a combination of graph algorithms with machine learning to extract valuable tacit information from platforms like Reddit, StackExchange and Quora, to apply a score that estimates the reliability of someone's post.
Understanding the attraction between men and women
Research has long indicated that it is mostly men, who tend to misperceive friendliness as sexual interest. In her recent work, Dr Goh Pei Hwa revisited the question of gender differences in sexual perception accuracy using a face-to-face, laboratory-based interaction paradigm on a sample of university students in Malaysia.
New millennium sees biometrics bursting into the mainstream
We are currently involved in the creation of Bio-PIN, a secure set of algorithms which can be incorporated into any biometric cryptosystem. Bio-PIN is the result of a collaboration between Monash University Malaysia, the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), and Yonsei University in South Korea.
The Nudge Theory
Associate Professor Grace Hooi Yean Lee, Head of Economics Department at Monash University, Malaysia, and co-researchers at Monash University, Shin Ee Teo and Erte Xiao, embarked on an experiment to see the efficacy of nudging, and note when its effects start to wear off. They organised the 10,000 steps challenge where a series of surveys were conducted to identify inactive students for participation in the experiment.
Portable water filter for disaster relief efforts
The Sri Lanka Institute of Nanotechnology (SLINTEC), in collaboration with Monash University Malaysia, and Newcastle University, has developed Poseidon, a portable filtration device that can be fitted to a water bottle. This allows people who are deprived of access to clean water to filter what they drink.
Genomics: A shining light of hope
Published in the March 20 edition of the peer-reviewed academic journal Science was the sequencing of 929 genomes of 54 diverse populations from around the world.

Does it matter if a television show tops the best-film lists?
Simran Hans
Twin Peaks has crowned a prestigious film poll. This is what happens when the lines between cinema and TV are blurred
@heavier_things

Long before the shouty, opinionated nerds of Twitter, the French film magazine Cahiers du cinéma had already perfected the art of trolling. Its annual list of the year's 10 best films is always my most anticipated, if only to see what its contrarian critics will name as their wildcard choice. Personal favourite provocations include Vincent Gallo's The Brown Bunny (2004), M Night Shyamalan's The Lady in the Water (2006) and Ang Lee's $40m flop Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk (2017).
Rounding up the decade in cinema, Cahiers declared David Lynch's 18-part TV series Twin Peaks: The Return its best film of the 2010s. The inclusion of a television show in this kind of list isn't exactly unprecedented; Cahiers named the original Twin Peaks joint fourth best film of the 1990s and The Return its best film of 2017 (bizarrely, Fox's terrorism-themed TV show 24 also appeared on 2002's list). And anyway, Twin Peaks: The Return appeared on many end-of-year top 10s when it was released in 2017, ranking at number two in Sight & Sound's end of year poll.
And so, to return to a recurring theme: does The Return belong on a "best film" list, if it is not in fact a film? More pressingly, does it matter?
On ideas of ageing, memory, loss and trauma, Twin Peaks: The Return is exquisitely moving, and its surrealist bottle episode (Episode 8) remains some of the most formally inventive and exciting film-making I've seen this decade. But that a project with elevated, experimental, or "cinematic" qualities should appear to transcend the "lowbrow" form of television is a kind of snobbery.
Film-makers are making work for TV and streaming platforms because it's the best way to get their projects made at scale
On the other hand, Cahiers making the case for The Return as the decade's crowning cinematic achievement is its own radical statement – an embrace of a new and more elastic understanding of what constitutes cinema. The way films are being produced and consumed is changing at breakneck speed, and so it makes sense that the way critics are responding to those "films" is changing too.
Cinema and television aren't interchangeable forms, but the advent of streaming means that viewing experiences are increasingly flexible. One could, in theory, watch Scorsese's a three-and-a-half-hour epic The Irishman on an iPad, in five digestible parts, or set up a projector and treat an 18-episode TV series such as The Return as though it were one long film, supposedly the way Lynch himself initially conceived the project. (Never mind the fact that Lynch already made a Twin Peaks movie – 1992's Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, a haunting feature-length prequel that is markedly different in both form and tone to the series.)
Anticipating a Cahiers-style upset, Sight & Sound magazine revised the rubric in its poll this year, instructing its voters that "films mean films as traditionally understood" (whatever that means; binge-watching anything can give it a disposable quality). "Linear short films are okay," its editors wrote, "but we will exclude TV, games, VR, and other expanded forms of the moving images." A separate poll for TV was sent out. But as the critic Richard Brody wrote in the New Yorker's best movies of 2019 package, an "editorial policy that favours reviews of theatrical releases risks pushing already-overlooked films and film-makers further into the margins and off the map".
If criticism is first and foremost a work of record, then lists are documents that reveal the temperature of a particular cultural climate. As reference points for what critics thought of as the important issues of the day, of their political leanings and aesthetic preoccupations and thematic concerns, lists can be both fascinating and useful. Given the kind of online debates that have animated film criticism over the past decade, such as #MeToo, #OscarsSoWhite, #MarvelVsScorsese, it's inevitable that Cahiers' list would reflect its stake in these conversations. Indeed, the list's omissions are just as telling; consider that Cahiers chose to honour just one female film-maker (Maren Ade), one film-maker of colour (Apichatpong Weerasethakul) and one documentary (Jean-Luc Godard's The Image Book).
David Lynch: 'You gotta be selfish. It's a terrible thing'
Still, it's entirely predictable that the critical establishment felt empowered to include something directed by a garlanded auteur. Acclaimed film-makers such as Lynch are making work for television and streaming platforms because it's the best way to get their projects made at scale. Their turn towards Amazon, Netflix, HBO and others might feel like a turn towards new technology, but it's a survival tactic. Similarly, the investment of streaming services in original productions might feel like a revitalisation of the film industry but these services are capitalising on bankable names, priming Oscars titles that will in turn feed their own streaming figures. And, in any case, Lynch is already a Cahiers darling – The Return is his eighth appearance in a Cahiers top 10.

Rest For RESET
"Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you'll discover that I'm gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me."
Matthew 11:29 TPT
It may seem like we've been pretty silent for a bit, yet there's really quite a bit going on over here. Like most of you, and most of the world, we've been finding a new normal so to speak these days. So many people are experiencing difficult seasons, but it's also been a time to begin anew. Have you been able to see it, sense it? What has the Lord been speaking to your heart during this season?
Continuously, the Lord has been reminding me that it's when we are at rest in our own efforts that the most will happen. Rest is more than just taking a nap, or getting good sleep. Rest is also trust. When we lean back and let go, that is rest, and also complete trust.
It's quite a different perspective from the world's work ethic and drive. Isn't it amazing how God had in mind that we were to rest first, and trust Him? He wanted us to be able to fully rely and lean on Him. When we begin to do things in our own strength it can be completely exhausting, draining and lead to burn out. We don't want that, and we do want to be abundant and full of life. You know what I'm talking about right? When something starts to weigh you down and it's so heavy, but you just keep going? What happens? You want to quit.
Whether you're in a forced rest from work, or you're waking up to the need for rest, don't wait until you have no choice, embrace it. It can bring so much healing. Did you know that the body does most of it's healing when it's at rest? That goes for the mind too. When we get quiet before the Lord, we can hear clearer, and connect with Him - our very life source and provider.
Don't let the world confuse you with go, go, go and push, push, push. Take time to slow down, catch your breath and wait on Him. You will be so glad you did. I know I have. Currently, we're in a new season, a new home and the unpacking, painting, cleaning and settling will take some time. Instead of pushing myself too hard, I'm going at a good pace so I can enjoy it at the same time. I'm so thankful the Lord has constantly been giving prompts, and my desire is to continue to respond to those. I pray you hear those prompts and make the point to respond too.
You can turn your rest into a reset, a new thing. You will be made new as you behold Him.

Fish Mortality Story: The FAQ from NJDEP
In response to Clean Ocean Action's push on the state and federal levels for answers and solutions to the abundant menhaden, or bunker fish, die off along the Navesink and Shrewsbury rivers, the NJ Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has issued the following released statement and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and answers …
Photo/Elaine Van Develde 2017
The NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) continues to investigate large menhaden die-offs impacting the Navesink and Shrewsbury rivers of Monmouth County.
These mortality events appear to be only affecting Atlantic Menhaden, also known as bunker, an extremely abundant member of the herring family primarily harvested for bait and non-food commercial purposes. Similar largescale die-offs have been reported since the fall in coastal areas from Rhode Island to New Jersey.
Tests by the Division of Fish and Wildlife indicate that the bacterium causing these mortalities is Vibrio anguillarum, one of numerous Vibrio species that commonly occur in marine and estuarine environments.
The DEP continues to work on better understanding the disease caused by this Vibrio infection in bunker and is working with the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission and other states in the region to better understand these mortalities.
Bunker appear to be the only species impacted at this time and it is believed that they may be more susceptible to the impacts of this bacterium. This is likely driven by stressors present during the spring, including fluctuating water temperatures which may suppress the fish's immune system combined with the abundance and dense schooling nature of these fish, which enhances transmission of the bacterium.
Menhaden are typically not eaten by people or fished recreationally. There is no indication that any other fish, shellfish, bird or wildlife species are being impacted by this bacterium. It is safe to continue eating other species of fish that prey on menhaden. However, it is always advised to properly cook all fish or shellfish before consuming and to never collect and consume dead fish or any that appear ill.
This bacterium is generally not known to be harmful to humans. However, contact with water in areas where fish die-offs are occurring should be avoided as a precaution. Handling of dead or unhealthy appearing fish should be avoided, including collecting for bait. If handling is necessary for disposal purposes, wear appropriate protection, including gloves.
Menhaden die-offs are expected to continue in the near term. The DEP will continue to provide information to local governments as appropriate and provide any public advice or advisories as necessary. The fish will naturally decompose and become part of the nutrient cycle in affected waterways. Local governments, at their discretion may remove fish from their riverbanks.
To report a fish die-off, contact the DEP's hotline at 877-WARN-DEP (877-927-6337).
Since the fall, New Jersey has seen large numbers of mortalities of menhaden in coastal areas. What is causing the fish kills?
This mortality has been observed to only affect Atlantic Menhaden (bunker). Based on necropsy and laboratory testing, the fish are infected with a bacterium known as Vibrio anguillarum, which causes the disease known as vibriosis. The DEP is continuing with research to characterize this bacterium and the disease it is causing in the bunker. Histopathology and microbiological testing demonstrated that this bacterium is causing a systemic infection impacting multiple organs of the fish, including the brain. Bacterial infection of the brain and its associated damage is most likely causing the neurologic signs observed in the fish.
These neurologic signs can be seen as fish circling at the surface, swimming erratically or uncontrolled, and sometimes lethargic and unresponsive to stimuli. V. anguillarum is a common bacterium found in marine environments and outbreaks with the disease can be the result of other factors that may stress or compromise the immune system of the fish. In the spring and fall when these mortalities occur, fluctuating water temperatures may play a role in making fish more vulnerable to infection. The abundance and dense-schooling nature of bunker also enhance the transmission of the bacterium.
Where are the fish kills occurring?
In New Jersey, reports of the fish kills have come primarily from the Raritan Bay area, including the Navesink and Shrewsbury Rivers. However, in the fall of 2020, reports of menhaden fish kills were reported in every state from New Jersey to Rhode Island, inclusive. Pathology tests were not conducted for all reported fish kills, but the timing of the kills and similarity of symptoms reported from kills throughout the region suggest they were all likely related.
What are possible effects on other species of fish and wildlife?
The mortality events have thus far only been documented in Atlantic Menhaden. No other fish or wildlife species have been documented to be affected by these mortality events. V. anguillarum has been reported in the literature to cause vibriosis in a variety of marine finfish (including but not limited to salmonids, Striped Bass, Winter Flounder, and Atlantic Cod), shellfish (including but not limited to hard clams and oysters), and crustaceans (including lobsters and shrimp).
Though this bacterium is often an opportunistic pathogen in a wide range of marine species, these mortality events have thus far only impacted Atlantic Menhaden. This may be related to a number of factors including susceptibility of fish species to the bacterium, bacterial transmission factors that may be enhanced in dense schooling fish such as Atlantic Menhaden, and that Atlantic Menhaden may be particularly sensitive to some environmental stressors, such as fluctuating water temperatures. At this time, since no other species have been observed impacted, we do not believe that other fish and wildlife are being impacted.
What are the possible effects on humans?
Generally, V. anguillarum is a pathogen causing vibriosis in a wide range of marine finfish, shellfish and crustaceans. Though there are rare reports of V. anguillarum infecting humans, particularly when immunocompromised, this bacterium is generally not known to be pathogenic to humans. During bacterial epizootics in Atlantic Menhaden, it is likely that fish with vibriosis are shedding bacteria into the surrounding water.
It is recommended that the public avoids handling the dead or diseased fish. If the fish must be handled for disposal, then proper protective equipment, such as gloves should be worn. Diseased or dead fish should not be consumed by humans and these fish should not be handled to be utilized as bait for other marine species.
What are the possible effects on the menhaden population?
Atlantic Menhaden is an abundant species that ranges between Nova Scotia, Canada and northern Florida. A recent stock assessment conducted by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) reports that total biomass of the Atlantic Menhaden stock is over 4.5 million metric tons (www.asmfc.org/species/atlantic-menhaden), or approximately 10 billion pounds.
Although the number of fish seen washing up on area beaches and waterways may appear alarming, the impact to the population as a whole has so far been negligible. The population model explicitly accounts for all sources of mortality, both natural (such as fish kills) and harvest. Menhaden mortalities have been reported as near annual events in the spring since the 1950s, though the numbers of fish impacted varies from year to year. The next stock assessment is scheduled to be conducted in 2022 and will incorporate information gathered from the ongoing mortality event.
What is DEP doing to monitor the situation?
Since the fall of 2020, DEP staff have responded to many calls regarding fish kills with visual inspection of the sites and collection of samples for pathology testing. In addition, NJDEP is working with other states and ASMFC to track the duration and magnitude of these events on a regional scale. If you see a fish kill and wish to report it, you should contact 877-WARN-DEP (877-927-6332).
NJDEP has deployed three continuous monitoring buoys in the Raritan Bay/Two Rivers area. These monitoring buoys collect water quality data for numerous parameters including dissolved oxygen and temperature. The buoys are deployed from May through October. The data collected may provide insight to the stressors and environmental factors impacting menhaden. One buoy is located in the Navesink River east of the Rt 35 bridge, the other two are in Keansburg and Keyport. The buoys should be in the water by mid- to late May and transmitting data to our continuous monitoring web page: https://njdep.rutgers.edu/continuous/.
What should I do (or not do) and who should I contact if I see a fish kill?
Generally, the bacterium affecting the menhaden is pathogenic to marine finfish, shellfish, and crustaceans. As with any wildlife, the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife recommends people do not handle, collect, or consume any dead fish or those showing signs of disease. If you see a fish kill, please contact the DEP at 877-WARN-DEP (877-927-6332).
Will rising temps make this situation improve or get worse?
Water temperature is an important factor in the ecology of disease in aquatic species. The efficiency of a fish's immune system is temperature-dependent and oftentimes cold-water temperatures will suppress a fish's immune system. Unlike mammals, fish are poikilotherms, meaning their body temperature fluctuates with the external water temperatures.
In the fall and spring when water temperatures fluctuate, this may be an important stress factor that makes fish more susceptible to disease in these seasons. V. anguillarum has been reported in the literature to be most common in late summer and early fall when water temperatures are elevated.
This is not consistent with observations we see in Atlantic Menhaden when these outbreaks are occurring during colder water temperatures. It is hard to say if warmer water temperatures will worsen the impact of this bacterium in the fish population, but it is suspected that if there are wider temperature swings during the fall and spring, then this could worsen the impact of these mortality events.
Will concerns cited in the past like oxygen depletion compound the problem?
Low dissolved oxygen is a significant stressor to fish populations. Atlantic Menhaden are a highly active species and the high metabolism related to this activity makes them sensitive to low dissolved oxygen. To date, vibriosis-related mortality events have been associated with cool water which holds relatively more oxygen than warm water does.
Atlantic Menhaden mortality events linked to depleted dissolved oxygen occur most frequently in the summer months, though heavy congregation of menhaden schools in smaller and/or poorly flushing estuaries during any time of year may cause depleted dissolved oxygen and mortality. If dissolved oxygen is depressed to sub-lethal levels, then this will likely be an additional stress factor to Atlantic Menhaden that can make them more vulnerable to opportunistic infections, such as vibriosis.
Is it possible the bacteria is more prevalent based on local population densities?
Atlantic Menhaden form large, dense schools which facilitate the transmission of disease among individuals. This bacterium is likely spread between fish through the water. It is suspected that fish with clinical vibriosis are shedding large amounts of the bacterium. It is possible that some fish are persisting in our region during the cooler months instead of migrating to southern or offshore waters. This may expose fish to cooler water and larger temperature swings, which could suppress the fish's immune system and leave them more vulnerable to opportunistic bacterial infections.
Will the decomposing fish affect water quality locally?
Fish kills occur naturally and generally do not cause any long-term effects on water quality. However, in the short term, it is recommended that bathers avoid swimming, surfing, etc. in areas of active fish kills. Anyone entering the water in an affected area should wash exposed skin and clothing thoroughly with soap and water after contact with the water. The NJ Bureau of Marine Water Monitoring has been informed of the fish kills and is working in conjunction with Fish & Wildlife to analyze potential stressors which may impact the menhaden as well as monitoring water quality.
New Jersey's beach program partners with the NJ Department of Health, County and local Health Departments to monitor recreational bathing beaches. NJ beaches typically open on Memorial Day and begin preseason testing two weeks prior. There are no recreational bathing beaches on the Navesink or Shrewsbury Rivers, but there are recreational bathing beaches on Raritan Bay. Pathogen testing will occur prior to opening bathing beaches to ensure water quality is within recreational bathing standards and safe for primary contact. Information and beach monitoring data is available at https://njbeaches.org.
Who is responsible for cleaning up areas and disposing of fish?
Small to moderate sized fish kills generally take care of themselves over time, through scavenging by birds, fish, crabs, and other wildlife, and by fish washing out with the tide. Larger fish kills, or areas with low flushing rates where fish may accumulate or persist longer, such as lagoons and marinas, will also eventually clear up if left alone. However, this natural process takes time and may result in aesthetic impacts.
If residents, businesses, or local officials are concerned about possible impacts, the property owner or municipality may take steps to remove the dead fish from the beach and surrounding areas. Residents and business owners should take necessary precautions to limit contact, by wearing protective equipment such as boots and gloves if collecting fish. Fish may be bagged and discarded with other refuse. The DEP is continuing to discuss and work with local government officials on more scaled clean up options. Questions regarding disposal may be directed to the Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste at 609-633-1418.
Can you expand on other partnering organizations who are assisting with the research?
The DEP continues to coordinate with the New Jersey Department of Health. Further, New Jersey has been in regular contact with staff from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) regarding fish kills in shared waters of the Raritan Bay, and is cooperating with the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission who are coordinating a multistate effort to monitor the situation on a regional level.
Staff from the Office of Fish and Wildlife Health and Forensics have also been collaborating with partners from numerous fish health laboratories, such as Cornell University and the US Geological Service to identify and research the underlying cause of mortality.
Have other species been reported affected?
V. anguillarum has been observed in other species of fish, shellfish, and crustaceans in both wild environments and aquaculture systems. However, at this time, there is no indication that other species are being affected during this mortality event.
Is it safe to eat other fish who may have eaten menhaden affected by the bacteria?
There is no indication that other fish species are being impacted by this mortality event. It is advised to always avoid eating any fish that shows obvious disease signs and to cook your fish thoroughly before consumption. If following these guidelines, then it is safe to consume the fish.

Retro Tykes' River Time
Fair Haven river dwellers of the Drake family
Photo/courtesy of Robin Drake Fitch
Quality river time. It's a rite of passage for any Rumson-Fair Haven area kid.
When the spring air hits, the banks of the Navesink and Shrewsbury Rivers call to kids like mythological Sirens. And they borough themselves in the sand and tides like hermit crabs.
Some are River Rats learning the sailing ropes. Some kayakers. Some canoe. Some are dock jumpers (don't tell). Some are strollers, loungers and observers. And some are just happy to hitch a ride with that tide.
In this case, the boat hitching tykes date back to the 1960s in Fair Haven. It's the Drake family … and friends … and family. One thing's for sure. This is evidence of the well-known fact that the love of the river time doesn't change with age. And for those Rumson- and Fair Haven-raised kids, the river always beckons them home. The Drakes always find their way home.
The irreplaceable river love started for most anyone from the area with a millions of moments like this.
Just what they were up to in going with that 1960s tide is a mystery. Crabbing? Taking a dive? Dropping a paddle? Wait. No topsiders? There's an unmistakeable mischievous look of pure happiness going on here.
It's pretty typical of the R-FH area kid doing that cherished river adventure or misadventure.
Your favorite river misadventure? Ever capsize and come up flush with jellyfish and seaweed? How about a picnic gone awry? Doritos for the birds? Do tell.
See ya down by the river …
And thanks to Robin Drake Fitch for this classic look back!

Childhood Time Capsule: Fair Haven Fiona & Our Secret Club
"Once there was a way to get back homeward. Once there was a way to get back home … "
Golden Slumbers ~ Paul McCartney & John Lennon
There's always a way. And for childhood friends, the way is always niched in those time-capsuled moments, until the capsule cracks …
"There is a crack in everything," musician/writer Leonard Cohen said. "That's how the light gets in." The jarring news that childhood friend Fiona Wilson Phillips had died brought me back home with a jolt — a jolt that gaped the time capsule fissure, light seeping through. She had gone there, too, in snippets of her own light. It was all we needed — all any childhood friend needs with that sort of shake-up. The light brings a smile, warmth. Going back home nourishes the soul, after all. If only for a moment.
The truth was that we hadn't stayed in touch, but we always had our after-school fourth grade club. It wasn't Paris. It was better. And when we'd see one another at reunions, we'd smile, say the name of our secret kid society out loud and flash back. Our secret. Our way to get back home. Another truth, though, is that we were always there. I think she might like it if I bring her husband and son back to that place from which she came — the club. They'd never been there. It was a secret, after all.
Kid moments. Secrets. The place to which only a few had gone. The places, times we remember, if only for a bright, colorful, warm second. Often people pay no mind to them — the memories. They should. Everyone's had them. We had ours. The light shines on them.
The pin spotlight veers through those cracks to this …
I don't know if it was Paul McCartney, the frozen M&Ms or just the kid connection in the random fandom. I do know that one piece of each day from those weekly meetings of the unofficial Paul McCartney Four club (PM4) of 1969 is embedded in my memory like little slivers of glass chards, each having its place in a delicate crystal jigsaw capsule now cracked, a bit shattered. Slivers scattered, stuck, making way to let that light in.
Once those reflective pieces are stuck, they can no longer be broken. They shine. When one person leaves, each splinter stings with the movement away. Fiona had left the Earth, never the club. I certainly hadn't thought about the PM4 club every day.
I remembered, though — four 9-year-olds deciding to celebrate Paul McCartney as their favorite Beatle weekly with frozen M&Ms, soda, drooling and dancing in one's living room. It was me, Carolyn, Anne and Fiona.
I can't even remember why it was Paul McCartney who united us for those weekly meetings and M&Ms, but, for some reason, we chose to grow up in that way together — at that time. I don't know how it ended up being us four either.
But it was. We were all in Miss Sloane's fourth grade class at Knollwood in Fair Haven, of course. We thought she was cool. We thought we were cool. She liked us. We were a little obsessed with our young, groovy teacher. We four walked into Red Bank (imagine that, helicopter moms of today!) to "pop in" on her at her apartment. She really must have thought we were a band of nutty little freaks.
We had bonded over our inadvertent stalking of Miss Sloan. When she got married and was expecting a baby, we had to find another target. Somehow, maybe in a conversation on Sportsman's Field, we decided that we all loved Paul McCartney. What I or any of the four have no recollection of, however, is why it was Paul and not John or even Ringo. No matter. We had bonded over it. We made a pact to meet once a week. And somehow we decided that Ann would be sure to get the M&Ms in the freezer for our meeting day. They were our decided delicacy.
We would meet at Fiona's on Grange Walk and walk over to Ann's on Laury. I had no den in my house, so that was out for meetings. Carolyn had a cool house on River Road, but there were too many kids sure to bust up our secret meetings. Ann's house was by the pond. No one was ever home — or at least we thought not.
We listened to the Beatles, or mostly Paul, because that was our club purpose. We jumped up and down and danced to When I Saw Her Standing There and I Wanna Hold Your Hand — WOOOOOOO!
We swayed and popped M&Ms to The Long and Winding Road, Yesterday and giggled like Gremlin hyenas over You Know My Name. We never knew what to make of that. Way ahead of our pre-teeny bop minds.
We thought, for sure, though, that one of us would marry Paul. Don't you just love how fine it is for kids to be completely delusional? Still, we secretly waited for one another's wedding invite.
The memories are static — crackling, jumbled, fuzzy. One thing that's vivid, though is the light that shone through those cracks, the sound of the laughter, the smiles on those little faces. We were happy. So happy over a bag of M&Ms, Paul and time together. Remembered.
So, for Fiona's sake, honor your connections to home. Find a way to get back homeward. Let that light in. Stay there for a minute and smile.
Fiona's high school yearbook quote was "After all, it's only a weed that turns into a flower in your mind." ~ Thomas Benton.
Later in life, I learned, she loved Leonard Cohen, who wrote about the cracks. Ironic. But what about Paul?? No mind. He's still there somewhere. Now and then come together today … Cohen says those cracks let the light in. The light turns that deeply-rooted weed into a flower. Soak up the light in the secret club of your youth … Rest In Peace, Fiona. Thanks for the clubbing, the dance and the sweet.
More about Fiona Lynne Wilson Phillips …
Fiona Lynne Wilson Phillips passed away on Jan. 30 in the comfort and care of her husband and family after a battle with colorectal cancer.
Fiona grew up in Fair Haven, the daughter of James and Sybil Wilson, who still live in their home there.
She loved coming home …
"Fiona enjoyed returning to New Jersey to visit family and friends and attended several RFH high school reunions, including her 40th reunion held in August 2018 in Sea Bright," her family said in her obituary.
A Fair Haven-raised girl, Fiona, of course, attended Knollwood and what was Willow Street elementary and middle schools and graduated from Rumson Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) in 1978.
After high school, Fiona joined the US Army for a four-year assignment and was stationed in Alabama, Texas, California, and Germany during her service.
Following completion of her military duty, Fiona went on to train in the beauty/aesthetics industry completing advanced training and certifications in cosmetology, makeup, and hair. She based herself in on the west coast and honed her skills in various assignments in professional makeup, hair and wardrobe styling in the entertainment industry.
"Known for her esthetics expertise and excellent ability to connect with people, Fiona spent over 20 years at Barney's New York, Beverly Hills, as top performing sales professional in cosmetics, skin care, and home fragrance.
With a keen eye, vivid imagination, and the ability to envision the end product, Fiona was gifted in creating things, whether artwork, a stylish outfit, or home décor. She leveraged these skills professionally and personally, enjoying decorating her home in the Los Angeles suburbs by creating unique designs from carefully curated items at the local thrift and discount stores.
Fiona enjoyed exploring and taking weekend excursions with her husband, James. She filled the 61 years she was given with gusto and was proud of her Scottish heritage. Her son, Boris, was a constant source of pride and joy."
Loved ones of Fiona Wilson Phillips in her obituary
Fiona is survived by: her husband, James Phillips; her son, Boris; her step-sons, Cary and Colin; her sister, Jennifer Jaskowiak; sisters-in-law, Jenny Wilson and Margaret Clayton; parents, James and Sybil Wilson; nieces and nephews, Madeline, Gavin, Sophie, and Kelli; and extended family and friends across the U.S. and internationally.
Fiona was predeceased by her brother, David Wilson.
A private military funeral honors service will be held at California Central Coast Veterans Cemetery, Seaside, CA.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider a donation in Fiona's memory to your local Veterans association or City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center, Duarte, CA.

It looks like Kristen Stewart is happy to be back at work.
The 23-year-old actress stepped out on the NYC set of her new movie "Still Alice" earlier today grinning from ear to ear.
Bundled up in two shirts and a black denim jacket paired with red pants, sneakers and dark sunglasses, K.Stew was snapped arriving to set while carrying a backpack. Stewart was all smiles while walking down the Big Apple street as she munched on an Apple and sipped on a green juice.

So glad to have celebrated Teresa & Maurice's special day with them this weekend. It was a touching, intimate ceremony in the gorgeous church in Murroe, Co.Limerick. Also a pleasure to perform with Eve Stafford again, always a pleasure to play along with her great voice.
So here is a test blog post - putting in a pick of a stack of new wedding music that we are bought or arranged over the summer. Gonna need to build another room to hold the music at this stage!

I'm in awe of this album.
I can only quote
"It is a rare event that I can listen to an album, and think of every song as equally brilliant as the last one." source
I'll take "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" if no one else can fit it in to their nominations
Are soundtracks eligible? If so, I'd like to nominate the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. If not, then Frampton Comes Alive (1976)
pinkstones
Soundtracks are compilation albums, and I believe would fall under the same penumbra as Greatest Hits albums.

A shot capturing the last servicemen to be offered refreshments at the Soldiers and Sailors Free Buffet at Paddington Station on 28th June 1919. The forces canteen opened in April 1915 to offer sustenance to the servicemen who passed through Paddington during the war years. It was staffed day and night by a dedicated group of more than 80 female volunteers who, during the four years that the Buffet was open, served refreshments to more than 3 million men. The soldier sitting in the corner seat was himself a Great Western man, possibly on his journey home from active duty

Самха () — остров архипелага Сокотра, третий по площади остров этого архипелага (). Входит в состав Йемена, с 2004 года административно является частью мухафазы Хадрамаут (до этого входил в мухафазу Аден). На этот остров, как и на другие острова архипелага Сокотра, заявляет свои претензии Сомали.

В 2002 году население острова составляло 139 человек (81 мужчина и 58 женщин). Все они проживали в селении в западной части северного побережья острова.

География

Находится в Аравийском море к востоку от побережья Сомали, в  от мыса Гвардафуй — крайней северо-восточной точки Африканского рога. Остров лежит примерно в  к юго-западу от западной оконечности острова Сокотра, примерно в  к востоку от острова Абд-эль-Кури и в 350 км к югу от Аравийского полуострова. Самха и соседний (находящийся в  к востоку) необитаемый остров Дарса известны под общим названием «Аль-Ихван» (, «Братья»).

Длина острова составляется , максимальная ширина — .

Имеется источник пресной воды.

Геология
Поскольку в периоды материковых оледенений Северного полушария уровень океана существенно падал, неоднократно возникал крупный остров, объединявший территории современных островов Сокотра, Самха и Дарса, его площадь было примерно в два раза больше площади современного острова Сокотра. Последний раз такой остров, значительная часть которого имела плоский низменный рельеф, существовал примерно 20 тысяч лет назад.

Флора
На Самхе имеется эндемичное (то есть встречающееся только на этом острове) растение — Begonia samhaensis. Этот вид имеет охранный статус Вымирающие виды ().

Фауна
На острове обитает эндемичный для архипелага Сокотра гигантский скорпион Hottentotta socotrensis, достигающий в длину .

In the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century, listening and speaking devices such as those created by Athanasius Kircher were part of a growing number of early scientific tools displayed in wunderkammern. Other mechanical and technical instruments included compasses, clocks, automatons, telescopes, microscopes, geometrical tools, and astrolabes. In keeping with the universalist aims of wunderkammer, these devices were viewed as critical tools for expanding man's knowledge of the universe.

Q: How to runserver and see website for github project files New to Django, I am trying to view the website with its associated functionality generated by the project files here:
https://github.com/tomwalker/django_quiz
When I use the usual: manage.py runserver on the command prompt, it says that there is no manage.py file, and there isn't.
Worryingly, I followed the instructions for installation which suggested: Run pip install -r requirements.txt
...and my computer proceeded to de-install Django 2.0? What is that about, and can anyone explain how to restore settings if I messed them up completely.
The second part of the instructions for installation asks to change something in the INSTALLED_APPS and urls.py section, but where? There is nothing in the root directory and it doesn't specify which folder/app to do this in?
I don't quite understand how to "run" (see/view) these files and see this quiz app in process on my local host. What do I need to add? Why is the manage.py file not included?
Any explanation or something to point me in the right direction would be appreciated

A: The github project contains only Django apps. Not whole project. You need to integrate this in your Django project. You can run it by following below steps.

*

*Create New Django Project

*Clone github repo in your project. Run following commands in your project directory.

git clone https://github.com/tomwalker/django_quiz.git
mv django_quiz/* .
rm -rf django_quiz

*Add essay, true_false, quiz, multichoice in your installed apps

*Install requirements with pip install -r requirements.txt

*Create Migrations

*Run Migrations

*Add url(r'^q/', include('quiz.urls')) in your project urls.

*Run server with python manage.py runserver

Q: https://dnsflagday.net/ report edns512tcp=timeout i have a Ubuntu 16.04.5 server with Vesta CP.
I checked the server on https://dnsflagday.net, and I got this report:

domain.cl. @123.456.78.90 (ns1.domain.cl.): dns=ok edns=ok edns1=ok edns@512=ok ednsopt=ok edns1opt=ok do=ok ednsflags=ok docookie=ok edns512tcp=timeout optlist=ok
domain.cl. @123.456.78.90 (ns2.domain.cl.): dns=ok edns=ok edns1=ok edns@512=ok ednsopt=ok edns1opt=ok do=ok ednsflags=ok docookie=ok edns512tcp=timeout optlist=ok

I do not know what edns512tcp = timeout means and I have not had much luck looking for a solution on internet.
Can someone help me? thanks

A: For that tool, any kind of "timeout" error is a problem, it means some server did not reply or the message (either query or reply) was eaten by some active element on the path, so it needs to be fixed.
edns512tcp is when the testing software does an EDNS query with a buffer of 512 bytes and over TCP.
If you go to https://ednscomp.isc.org/ednscomp/ for your domain you will have the full test results.
For that specific error it is:
EDNS - over TCP Response (edns@512tcp)

dig +vc +nocookie +norec +noad +edns +dnssec +bufsize=512 dnskey zone @server
expect: NOERROR
expect: OPT record with version set to 0
See RFC5966 and See RFC6891

So you can see which DNS query was done with dig, that you can reproduce it (+vc is an old flag name that is an alias for +tcp). The test expects to get a NOERROR code back and an OPT record. Your servers did not reply at all, so the test failed.
It seems that your servers did not reply to that at all, which is wrong. Maybe they do not reply to TCP queries at all which is even more wrong. In all cases you will need to contact the entity responsible for maintaining those servers and point it to the test results so that they start to fix the problem.

A: thanks for your help.
I read more about it and I could detect that port 53 was being blocked by the firewall, I added the rule to the firewall to allow TCP connections on port 53.
Everything it's fine now
