Renewable energies – the future is sunny!
Biomass is one of the oldest sources of energy used by humans, mainly in the form of wood. The energy is "extracted" from it by burning. Alongside wood, green plants (for example switchgrass) and dried dung can also be burnt. In the face of the shortage of petroleum, biomass is being used increasingly to produce fuel. The diagram shows which chemical processes are used here and which biofuels are created using these processes.

Insurers in Japan to Narrow Scope of COVID-19 Benefits
Economy Sep 1, 2022 21:43 (JST)
Tokyo, Sept. 1 (Jiji Press)--The Life Insurance Association of Japan urged its members Thursday to consider limiting the scope of policyholders eligible to receive COVID-19 hospitalization benefits.
Member insurers are free to set their own standards for payouts, but many are expected to make the recommended change as early as this month.
The move reflects the health ministry's shift to requiring detailed infection reports only on cases involving people with high risks of developing severe symptoms.
The association said that payments should be limited to those who were aged 65 or older, those who needed hospitalization, those who needed therapeutic drugs or supplementary oxygen and those who were pregnant.
"We will continue to play our role in helping people suffering from disease, based on the insurance system's original significance in society," the association said.

Critical Care Reviews Newsletter 377 4th March 2019
March 7, 2019 ~ TRFT Library & Knowledge Service	~ Leave a comment
Welcome to the 377th Critical Care Reviews Newsletter, which brings you the best critical care research and open access articles from across the medical literature over the past seven days.
"The highlights of this week's edition are a randomised controlled trial comparing nasal high-flow oxygen with Venturi face mask oxygen therapy after lung resection; systematic reviews and meta analyses on the effects of hyperoxia on mortality in critically ill patients & dexmedetomidine on delirium and agitation in patients in intensive care; and observational studies on sleep and pathological wakefulness at time of liberation from mechanical ventilation & the effect of age of transfused red blood cells on neurologic outcome after traumatic brain injury."
Effect of a Resuscitation Strategy Targeting Peripheral Perfusion Status vs Serum Lactate Levels on 28-Day Mortality Among Patients With Septic Shock: The ANDROMEDA-SHOCK Randomized Clinical Trial.
February 22, 2019 ~ TRFT Library & Knowledge Service	~ Leave a comment
This article by Hernandez and others was published in JAMA in February 2019 (volume 321 number 7 pages 654-664)
Importance: Abnormal peripheral perfusion after septic shock resuscitation has been associated with organ dysfunction and mortality. The potential role of the clinical assessment of peripheral perfusion as a target during resuscitation in early septic shock has not been established.
Objective: To determine if a peripheral perfusion-targeted resuscitation during early septic shock in adults is more effective than a lactate level-targeted resuscitation for reducing mortality.
Design, Setting, and Participants: Multi-centre, randomized trial conducted at 28 intensive care units in 5 countries. Four-hundred twenty-four patients with septic shock were included between March 2017 and March 2018. The last date of follow-up was June 12, 2018.
Interventions: Patients were randomized to a step-by-step resuscitation protocol aimed at either normalizing capillary refill time (n = 212) or normalizing or decreasing lactate levels at rates greater than 20% per 2 hours (n = 212), during an 8-hour intervention period.
Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was all-cause mortality at 28 days. Secondary outcomes were organ dysfunction at 72 hours after randomization, as assessed by Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score (range, 0 [best] to 24 [worst]); death within 90 days; mechanical ventilation-, renal replacement therapy-, and vasopressor-free days within 28 days; intensive care unit and hospital length of stay.
Results: Among 424 patients randomized (mean age, 63 years; 226 [53%] women), 416 (98%) completed the trial. By day 28, 74 patients (34.9%) in the peripheral perfusion group and 92 patients (43.4%) in the lactate group had died (hazard ratio, 0.75 [95% CI, 0.55 to 1.02]; P = .06; risk difference, -8.5% [95% CI, -18.2% to 1.2%]). Peripheral perfusion-targeted resuscitation was associated with less organ dysfunction at 72 hours (mean SOFA score, 5.6 [SD, 4.3] vs 6.6 [SD, 4.7]; mean difference, -1.00 [95% CI, -1.97 to -0.02]; P = .045). There were no significant differences in the other 6 secondary outcomes. No protocol-related serious adverse reactions were confirmed.
Conclusions and Relevance: Among patients with septic shock, a resuscitation strategy targeting normalization of capillary refill time, compared with a strategy targeting serum lactate levels, did not reduce all-cause 28-day mortality

Bag-Mask Ventilation during Tracheal Intubation of Critically Ill Adults
This article by Casey and others was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in February 2019 (Volume 380 issue 9).
Background: Hypoxemia is the most common complication during tracheal intubation of critically ill adults and may increase the risk of cardiac arrest and death. Whether positive-pressure ventilation with a bag-mask device (bag-mask ventilation) during tracheal intubation of critically ill adults prevents hypoxemia without increasing the risk of aspiration remains controversial.
Methods: In a multicentre, randomized trial conducted in seven intensive care units in the United States, we randomly assigned adults undergoing tracheal intubation to receive either ventilation with a bag-mask device or no ventilation between induction and laryngoscopy. The primary outcome was the lowest oxygen saturation observed during the interval between induction and 2 minutes after tracheal intubation. The secondary outcome was the incidence of severe hypoxemia, defined as an oxygen saturation of less than 80%.
Results: Among the 401 patients enrolled, the median lowest oxygen saturation was 96% (interquartile range, 87 to 99) in the bag-mask ventilation group and 93% (interquartile range, 81 to 99) in the no-ventilation group (P = 0.01). A total of 21 patients (10.9%) in the bag-mask ventilation group had severe hypoxemia, as compared with 45 patients (22.8%) in the no-ventilation group (relative risk, 0.48; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.30 to 0.77). Operator-reported aspiration occurred during 2.5% of intubations in the bag-mask ventilation group and during 4.0% in the no-ventilation group (P = 0.41). The incidence of new opacity on chest radiography in the 48 hours after tracheal intubation was 16.4% and 14.8%, respectively (P = 0.73).
Conclusions: Among critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation, patients receiving bag-mask ventilation had higher oxygen saturations and a lower incidence of severe hypoxemia than those receiving no ventilation.

Critical Care Reviews Newsletter 375 19th February 2019
The 375th Critical Care Reviews Newsletter highlights the best critical care research articles from the medical literature during the previous seven days.
"The highlights of this week's edition are two randomised controlled stroke trials on blood pressure reduction with intravenous thrombolysis therapy for acute ischaemic stroke & minimally invasive surgery with thrombolysis in intracerebral haemorrhage; systematic reviews and meta analyses on fever control in critically ill adults & tranexamic acid in cerebral hemorrhage; and observational studies on the association of left ventricular ejection fraction with mortality after elective non cardiac surgery & sepsis-associated mortality in US acute care hospitals."
Critical Care Reviews Newsletter 374 16th February 2019
"The highlights of this week's edition are randomised controlled trials on EEG-guided anesthetic administration on postoperative delirium among older adults undergoing major surgery & high-flow nasal cannula versus oxygen face mask for environmental bacterial contamination in critically ill pneumonia patients; systematic reviews and meta analyses on assessing intubation difficulty and intravenous IgM-enriched immunoglobulin (pentaglobin) in sepsis or septic shock; observational studies on andexanet alfa for bleeding associated with factor Xa inhibitors & synergy between norepinephrine and terlipressin during septic shock".
Acute respiratory distress syndrome in leptospirosis
This research by Vandroux and colleagues was published online in the Journal of Critical during February 2019.
Purpose: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome is a major complication of leptospirosis, leading to the majority of fatalities.
Methods: Retrospective, descriptive and single-centre cohort study. The primary outcome was the Standardized Mortality Ratio (SMR) for ARDS in leptospirosis based on the quartiles of the SAPS2 score in the reference population of 1683 patients hospitalized for ARDS. The second outcomes were to determine the risk factors of mortality of ARDS in leptospirosis and to describe the cases requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO).
Results: Of 172 leptospirosis patients from January 2004 to October 2017, 39 (23%) presented a moderate or severe ARDS with a mortality rate of 23% (9 cases). Among patients with ARDS, the SMR with regards to Simplified Acute Physiology Score II was 0.49 (CI95%: 0.21; 0.96). Risk factors associated with mortality found by bivariate analysis were Severity Acute Physiology Score II (p = 0.01), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (p = 0.01), base excess (p = 0.002), kaliemia (p = 0.004), bilirubinemia (p = 0.01) and level of aspartate aminotransferase (p = 0.01). Eight patients underwent ECMO for refractory ARDS and six survived.
Conclusions: Leptospirosis can induce serious but transient ARDS with a better prognosis than that of other causes of ARDS. Several patients have been successfully treated with ECMO.

Book Review – John Gilbert: The Last of the Silent Film Stars by Eve Golden
It's only in recent years that I've developed an appreciation for silent film, much less for the people who made up of the world of early Hollywood.
John ("Jack") Gilbert was one of silent film's success stories but also one of Hollywood's great cautionary tales. He was a real star. But not the kind affixed in the firmament. Gilbert was more like a shooting star; a man who toiled unnoticed for years, slowly climbing his way up, until he flashed brilliantly across the screen for a handful of years before experiencing a sad descent.

Book Review – A Twist of Lemmon by Chris Lemmon
Can you believe that it is only in recent years that I have gained a deep appreciation for Jack Lemmon's skill as an actor? And yet despite my new found sense of awe, I really don't know much about the man himself.
You would think this would lead me to discover more about him through a typical biography or documentary, but no. Instead, I picked up a book written by his son Chris Lemmon.
A Twist of Lemmon is exactly the type of book I love to read about a celebrity I respect. Just about anyone willing to diligently research can write a good biography. But it is rare to get the personal perspective from the subject's friends or family, which is exactly what I'm interested in. And it is a quick little read at under two hundred pages.

Book Review – Without Lying Down: Frances Marion and the Powerful Women of Early Hollywood by Cari Beauchamp
I blame Melanie Benjamin. It was my discovery of her fictionalized portrayal of the friendship between Mary Pickford and Frances Marion in The Girls in the Picture, that sparked my interest in Marion. In a serendipitous moment, I also just happened to watch the Marion directed, Pickford starring silent film The Love Light around the same time. Recently, I happened across Cari Beauchamp's biography of Marion and that spark has now grown into a flame.

Book Review – George Cukor: A Double Life by Patrick McGilligan
The Philadelphia Story, Camille, My Fair Lady, The Women, It Should Happen to You, it surprised me to learn how many of the films I love shared the same director. When I realized how many of George Cukor's films were favorites of mine, I actively started seeking out his pictures and have now seen the majority of them. But still, I didn't know much about this film legend who is often known as the "women's director." I recently happened across a copy of Patrick McGilligan's biography George Cukor: A Double Life and took it as a sign that it was time for me to learn more.

Book Review – Cary Grant: A Brilliant Disguise by Scott Eyman
Grant was to romantic comedy what Fred Astaire was to dance–he made something that is extremely difficult look easy. pg 128
Cary Grant is a silver screen legend whose popularity endures even today. He is remembered for his onscreen persona, sartorial elegance, troubled marriages and his medical use of LSD. Lesser known is his well-disciplined business sense and financial prowess.
Grant has always been my favorite actor and I've seen almost all of his films, multiple times. (I still haven't been able to find Singapore Sue). I've also read the majority of the books written about him. Over the years, I've learned that if you really have an interest in a famous figure, the best way to get a well-rounded view of them is through reading more than one book about them. Authors generally approach their subject through their own perspective and understanding, as much as they try to be objective. So when Scott Eyman released the latest book about Grant, I snapped it up.
"Everything starts with pretense," he would say later in life. "One pretends to do something or copy someone…until it can be done confidently and easily in what becomes one' own manner" pg 47
As mentioned, there are many books written about Cary Grant's life. Eyman's is the first to present a psychological analysis of the man.
The trauma of Archibald Leach's early childhood created a ripple effect which influenced the rest of his life. The disappearance of an over protective mother, his father's subsequent lies about that disappearance and emotional neglect created a void in his life. This led him to invent the public identity of Cary Grant, behind which Archie Leach could safely hide.
"His childhood was like a black cloud hovering over him." Ray Austin, pg 336
This schism of identity affected him both personally and professionally. In his personal life, it led to Grant's constant need for love and acceptance while eventually pushing away anyone who got too close or dependent on him so they wouldn't have the opportunity to reject him. His early years of not just emotional but material deprivation also eventually motivated him to take enough risks to become very financially successful, while also acting very frugally and even stingily towards others when the old fear of lack reared its' ugly head.
Professionally, these same emotional and material needs affected his career, even to which directors he would choose to work with and which films he made.
Grant's shying away (from Billy Wilder) derived from an intense dislike of any personality that might even be potentially abusive. Grant liked charmers–Leo McCarey–or cool collected customers like Hawks and Hitchcock–men who never raised their voices.
After working hard to build the well-loved public construct of Cary Grant, Grant found that audiences of his day didn't want to see him in roles which didn't uphold that image, even if they were closer to the Archie Leach that Grant really was. So he accepted the public's edicts and quit taking onscreen risks.
"The only time I played myself was in None But the Lonely Heart and nobody wanted to see the real me. So I put Archie Leach away and went back to being Cary Grant." pg 212
While this made him very popular and wealthy, and his films very commercially successful, it also potentially kept him from being regarded as a critically talented actor. Grant learned to see himself as a commodity and always struggled with the dichotomy between how he was viewed by the public and how he viewed himself privately. Even his co-stars recognized this disconnect between the private man and the public persona.
"When he exhibited himself," said (Stanley) Kramer, "he was Cary Grant' – the handsome leading man, star-incarnate. Grant never gave the appearance of being 'commercial,' and he was probably as commercial an actor that ever lived." pg 373
I chose Eyman's book because I love Cary Grant and wanted to learn something new about him. And while Eyman did share some new details I had not been aware of before (such as a possible theory of what he REALLY did during WWII), what he did with his book is force me to see my favorite actor from a new perspective. Although Eyman is a talented writer and more than adequately supports his title thesis, I sometimes found it hard to take. It shattered a few of my notions about Grant and also challenged me to look beyond that actor's persona that I've always admired.
Thanks to my prior readings (and lifelong obsession), I already knew quite a bit about Grant. However, I was surprised to read Eyman's theory of Grant's war time activities. Grant was one of a few healthy male stars that didn't actively serve during WWII. However, Eyman theorizes that Grant may actually have been part of a British spy ring headed by Hungarian turned British director Alexander Korda (which also included fellow Brit Reginald Gardiner). Whether this is true or not, no proof exists, but it is very possible.
I also enjoyed learning more about his relationships with people like playwright Clifford Odets, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and particularly Katherine Hepburn. As his films with her are among some of my favorites, it was particularly gratifying to know they maintained a life long friendship, especially since I have never been able to find much proof of this in his public statements.
Many of those who worked with Grant praised him, his kindness, his professionalism and onscreen genius, his thoughtfulness. But just as many mentioned his driving perfectionism and lack of self-confidence which caused him to dither over his decisions.
Eyman presents a nuanced and not always pleasant picture of Grant. And often I found myself hurt and heart-broken on Grant's behalf, finally realizing what his public image must have cost his psyche. I also found myself upset with Grant at times for the way he treated the people who cared about him while realizing it was a protective mechanism he used as an escape.
It was also interesting for me to see the developing pattern of Grant's need for control as his career became more established. The more successful he was, the less he was willing to take professional risks. Eventually, this led to Grant's career decisions being made on the basis of financial and commercial success rather than choosing satisfying or challenging work.
"Speaking as Archie Leach, I'm not ungrateful for all that being Cary Grant has done for me." pg 479
For fans of Cary Grant, Eyman's book gives the detail on the actor's career and personal life that we all crave. And it is the only book to delve deep into Grant's emotional and mental state. In fact, it is the only biography of any public figure I've ever read to do so. One would expect that such an exploration would make Grant feel more relatable. But for me, it made him feel further away and I think that is partially because Eyman does such a great job showing how truly insular, insecure and self-protecting Grant was. Because of this, it will not be my favorite of the books on Grant, but it is definitely one worth reading in order to understand the man behind the mask.
It was a brilliant disguise; he could present himself as Cary Grant at will, and because his audience found him to be more or less like his screen self they relaxed and took him at face value, without bothering to wonder about his affinity for and sympathy with other people's emotional distress. pg 454
Overall, Eyman succeeds at what he sets out to do with his biography of Cary Grant and I'm very glad I read it.
2019 Book Year in Review
Well, 2019 was a slower year for me as far as reading goes. Compared to last year's triple digit stats, I only read about 75 books. Due to some life changes I didn't have as much time to read as I have in the past. But I'm not complaining.
For the first time ever I was part of a book club in 2019. I was only able to attend three times unfortunately. But because of this I read books I might not have otherwise; The Wedding, The Quiet Game, The Getaway Girls. I also participated in an online book club. The book choice was Charlotte Bronte's Villette, which I didn't like nearly as well as Jane Eyre. But I did enjoy discussing it with others online. Continue reading "2019 Book Year in Review"
Audrey Hepburn Blogathon – Enchantment by Donald Spoto
From the moment she burst onto the scene and even decades after her death, Audrey Hepburn has been an international star. Even now, she still receives more media attention than many of our current celebrities. Hepburn achieved fame as a film star, fashion icon and even a humanitarian.
But even though I've seen most of her films, read many articles about her public persona, I realized recently that I knew very little about the private Audrey Hepburn. The real Audrey. Who was she? I knew only the most basic of facts, which is why when the opportunity arose to participate in The Audrey Hepburn Blogathon, hosted by Janet at Sister Celluloid, I decided to review Donald Spoto's biography, Enchantment: The Life of Audrey Hepburn.

Book Review -Clark Gable: A Biography
ABOUT GABLE
Clark Gable is one of the few actors of the Hollywood Golden age whose name is still widely recognized today. Much of the credit for this goes to his role as Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind, which is known even by those who aren't classic film fans.
Gable was one of the luckiest stars of that era, a fact which he always admitted to. Though he wasn't without talent, a large part of his popularity had to do with his public image as a man's man and his onscreen magnetism. Men admired him and women panted after him.
No star in history had ever risen so fast or with such impact. Of course, it was a simpler time when no other entertainment medium—not even radio—had the star-creating power that movies did. He was also a beneficiary of the Depression era, which needed new heroes and role models. He was handsome, magnetic, and aggressive. On-screen at least he pushed people around, including women, but he always got what he wanted and without being evil or detestable.

Book Review -Hank and Jim: The Fifty-Year Friendship of Henry Fonda and James Stewart
Henry Fonda and James Stewart are acting legends from Hollywood's golden age. Today both men are still highly respected for their body of work and for careers which they managed to sustain for decades. But unbeknownst to many, they also maintained a lifelong friendship beginning prior to their years on the screen which spanned the course of their lives. This book explores that friendship as well as their personal lives and individual careers.
Due to their difference in politics, Stewart was a Republican and Fonda a lifelong Democrat and their onscreen personas some might be surprised that they were able to form such a close and lasting relationship. But at heart they were very similar and those similarities greatly outweighed their differences. Continue reading "Book Review -Hank and Jim: The Fifty-Year Friendship of Henry Fonda and James Stewart"
Book Review -A River in Darkness: One Man's Escape from North Korea
The harrowing true story of one man's life in—and subsequent escape from—North Korea, one of the world's most brutal totalitarian regimes.
Half-Korean, half-Japanese, Masaji Ishikawa has spent his whole life feeling like a man without a country. This feeling only deepened when his family moved from Japan to North Korea when Ishikawa was just thirteen years old, and unwittingly became members of the lowest social caste. His father, himself a Korean national, was lured to the new Communist country by promises of abundant work, education for his children, and a higher station in society. But the reality of their new life was far from utopian.
In this memoir translated from the original Japanese, Ishikawa candidly recounts his tumultuous upbringing and the brutal thirty-six years he spent living under a crushing totalitarian regime, as well as the challenges he faced repatriating to Japan after barely escaping North Korea with his life. A River in Darkness is not only a shocking portrait of life inside the country but a testament to the dignity—and indomitable nature—of the human spirit.

I am so tired right now from work and wish I could take a lil nap but I have to leave for my next job in 15 minutes. I've been working so much that it is starting to catch up on me. This weekend I might take a mini-vacation to Niagara falls or Wasaga beach with Gerron depending if someone can take my shift on Sunday. I've basically seen Gerron every single day since we've met and I'm loving every minute of it. Though he is scared to get into a relationship due to his jaded state, I can not call him my boyfriend nor can I just call him a friend, so what title do I give him? I guess he is someone I am seeing and intimate with. I dont' really know but all I know is that I am happy where I am standing. I think I am as scared as he is but I hide it better, but what exactly do I fear?
Damn I gotta go already.
companion…partner….but i like companion better.

If you ask the everyday individual on the road to checklist the top medical colleges chances are they may be able to title no less than a few them. If you have got completed highschool research or want to apply to a medical school in Australia without using your MCAT score, chances are you'll wish to learn extra about undergraduate-entry medical programs provided by Australian universities. The University of Ghana Medical School has however launched a graduate entry medical program to admit students with primarily science-related degrees into a four-12 months medical school program. American University of Beirut : positioned in Beirut and is the oldest medical college in Lebanon.
The Open International University for Complementary Medicines(OIUCM), established underneath World Health Organization teaches varied field of Medicines and associated program of Environmental Sciences. Medical colleges with a better endowment typically have extra assets at their disposal to rent high-quality instructors, improve services, and fund scholarships. Elsewhere on the continent, Nigeria and Uganda each enter the medical faculty rating with one entrant every, with Uganda's Makerere University the very best ranked at 351-400. This technique will also mean you can keep your choices open in case you aren't getting into your dream college.
Additionally, college students' earlier SSC (Secondary School Certificate) and HSC (Higher Secondary School Certificate) scores each carry up to one hundred marks towards the general examination result. In most medical programs, the first two years take care of basic scientific courses (mobile and molecular biology, chemistry, natural chemistry, arithmetic, and physics), and the core medical sciences (anatomy, embryology, histology, physiology, and biochemistry). In Guyana the medical college is accredited by the National Accreditation Council of Guyana.
It is still necessary to persuade the admitting authorities at these medical schools with a medical college personal statement, however that is offset by the fact that Caribbean medical schools have three annual admission cycles. Choose Wisely Although it could be tempting to solely apply to the highest-rated medical colleges, do not let the name or status of certain institutions deter you from contemplating smaller, lesser-known faculties focusing on the world you need to study.
This is essential when it comes to the medical training, given the actual distinction of patients, pathologies, procedures, and skills seen and discovered in private vs. public hospitals in Colombia. A home job of one-yr period is obligatory in a teaching hospital after completing five years of educational and scientific coaching within the medical faculty. Please visit OzTREKK's Undergraduate Medicine page to be taught more about undergraduate-entry medical packages. Scores are given on a percentile foundation and a high rating is a should to enter the top medical faculties within the nation.

About Ethel Wilson
Desmond Pacey's Ethel Wilson (1967)
After finishing the delightful novel, The Innocent Traveller, I found myself wanting to know a little more about the woman who penned it.
And, as some of you out there have also been bitten by the Ethel Wilson bug, I'll share some bits and pieces from Desmond Pacey's entry in the Twayne's World Authors Series about her, which is also the first book-length study of her work.
EW wrote six novels, eighteen short stories, nine essays and she was 49 years old when her first story published and 59 when her first novel published.
At that stage in her life, she was happily married and financially secure; she certainly did not write for money, but writing was highly regarded and valued on both sides of her family so her decision wasn't entirely surprising either.
Her love of British Columbia and Vancouver may have contributed to her desire to write and to publish; it was a city which, in half a century, had emerged from a virtual wilderness to a thriving metropolis, and yet it was still unrecorded in serious prose fiction.
Pacey discusses how difficult it is to categorize EW's work because each novel "is a highly integrated work of art", so it's impossible to say whether it is primarily a novel of manners, or theme, or of character.
(But what is it anyway with this desire to categorize: surely you can enjoy The Innocent Traveller without worrying about compartmentalizing it.)
Some readers, Pacey observes, feel that EW's style is somewhat old-fashioned; he reminds these readers that she was born in 1888, a contemporary of Forster, Joyce, Woolf, Lawrence, Eliot, Mansfield and Huxley.
So because she began writing later in life, publishing in the later 1940s and throughout the 1950s, her style does seem to reach back in time. (Just as Topaz, in The Innocent Traveller, does.)
This observation is more immediately relevant when you consider the writers EW admired, whose works she believed influenced her own fiction:
Defoe (strong sense of reality, products of observation not fantasy, set in certain time and place, person began life under handicaps and managed to survive, even triumph);
Fielding's Tom Jones (great deal of humour: humour of character, situation, or irony);
Proust (attempt to recover lost time, savour flavour of past days, accumulation of detail and association of ideas);
Forster (wry humanism, respect for the individual, enthusiasm for the arts, deep distrust of mere business efficiency; comic manner but fundamentally concerned with the ultimate meaning of life);
Trollope and Ivy Compton-Burnett (shared concern with family chronicle, eccentricities of character, closer to the gentle irony of Trollope); and
Bennett (recognition of the importance of daily routines like cooking and eating, awareness of the significance of apparently insignificant events, eye for the poetry behind the prose of everyday experience).
Desmond Pacey's book clearly focuses on Ethel Wilson's writing and, if you had any doubt beforehand, reveals the depth and intricacy of her work, proves that it is worthy of critical time and attention (and it counts as my third read for the Canadian Reading Challenge 3).
Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to the overtly biographical works by Mary McAlpine and David Stouck. And, even more so, I'm looking forward to more Ethel Wilson novels and stories.
Remember: Freedom to Read Week!
"Where were we going then? Anywhere to be together and alone.
Such a wish offends all people who have less than love in their pockets." (63)

Dona Beatriz Kimpa Vita
February 19, 2016 February 19, 2016 histhotties17th Century, 18th Century, African History, Black history, Religious history
It's the third Friday of Black History Month, and in that spirit we're highlighting another lesser-known black historical figure. This week, it's Dona Beatriz Kimpa Vita, a Kongolese noblewoman, prophet and religious-political leader.
Beatriz was born to noble parents in the Kingdom of Kongo (present-day Angola) in 1684. Europeans had disseminated Catholicism throughout the kingdom about two centuries before, and Beatriz was raised Catholic, but she did not take a passive role in her religion. She did not accept Catholicism as Europeans presented it. Instead, she promoted a Kongolese brand of Catholicism.
During Beatriz's lifetime, Kongo was in a state of civil war that dated back to Portuguese military upheaval of the region in the 1660s. In 1704, Beatriz underwent a powerful spiritual experience that led her to assume a prominent role in the conflict as a religious and political leader. While ailing in 1704, Beatriz reported having visions of St. Anthony. These culminated in what she called her death: St. Anthony now occupied the body that once belonged to Beatriz, who had been trained as an nganga marinda, a community member who interacts with the supernatural realm in the interest of the community at large. In the body of an African woman, St. Anthony claimed to have a special and interpersonal relationship with God, who commanded that Kongo must be a united kingdom with one ruler. "The Kongolese Saint Anthony" (as they are called by biographer, John Thrornton) appealed to two of Kongo's kings, but neither heeded the message. Having failed on this score, the Kongolese St. Anthony amassed a peaceful following and occupied São Salvador, the former capital.
In addition to sending missionaries out with their message, the Kongolese St. Anthony created their own religious doctrine, which they asserted was Catholic, but of a specifically Kongolese kind. They rewrote both the Ave Maria and Salve Regina (Salve Antoniana) to reflect Kongolese spiritual needs and priorities. And, particularly noteworthy this month, the Kongolese St. Anthony not only refuted that there were no existing black saints and insisted that Jesus, the Virgin Mary and other major Christian figures were in fact Kongolese, but also admonished priests who argued otherwise.
Predictably, the Kongolese St. Anthony, having undermined the authority of various established powers in the region, was executed for heresy by those loyal to one of the Kongolese kings in 1706. Though their life was cut short, the Kongolese St. Anthony's approach to religion is an important reminder that, though European colonisers brutally enforced their ways among colonised and/or converted peoples, this process was not just passively received. On the contrary, colonised and/or converted peoples not only reshaped religious movements and doctrine to suit their own ways of knowing, believing and being, but also influenced the ways of life of the very peoples that sought to repress them.

Kahramanmaras is a city in the southern Turkey (The Mediterranean Region) and the administrative center of Kahramanmaras Province . The city lies on a plain at the foot of the Ahir Dagi (Ahir Mountain) and has a population of 575,000 as of 2013. The region is best known for its production of salep, a flour made from dried orchid tubers, and its distinctive ice cream. It is connected by air to Istanbul and Ankara. Turkish Airlines has daily direct flights from Istanbul and also AnadoluJet operates direct flights from Ankara.
Marash was called Germanicia Caesarea ( Germanikeia, in Greek) in the time of the Roman and Byzantine empires. According to a 2010 Cumhuriyet article, the first ruins of Germanicia have already been unearthed in the Dulkadirogullari quarters of the city).
In 645, Germanicia was taken from the Byzantines by the Muslim Arabs, to whom the city was known as Mar?ash , which is also the Syriac ). Marash was an important Syrian Orthodox diocese. Mor Dionysius Bar Salibi (died 1171) was its bishop. Over the next three centuries, Marash belonged to the fortified Arab-Byzantine frontier zone (Thughur) and was used as a base for incursions into Byzantine-held Asia Minor by the Arabs. It was destroyed several times during the Arab-Byzantine Wars. It was rebuilt by the Umayyad caliph Muawiya I and was expanded ca. 800 by the Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid. The city was also controlled by the Tulunids, Ikhshidids and Hamdanids before the Byzantines under Nikephoros Phokas recovered it in 962.
After the defeat of Emperor Romanos IV Diogenes at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071, Philaretos Brachamios, a former Byzantine general, founded a principality centred on the city, which stretched from Antioch to Edessa.
Germanikeia was captured by Baldwin I of Jerusalem in 1098 during First Crusade and was part of County of Edessa. It was an important centre during Crusaders rule. According to the Chronicle of Matthew of Edessa, it was destroyed by an earthquake and 10,000 people were killed, which is probably an exaggeration. In 1100, it was captured by Danishmends and by Seljuks in 1103. But in 1107 Crusaders retook it with aid from Byzantine. In 1135, Danishmends besieged Germanikeia unsuccessfully but they captured it next year. However, Crusaders retook it in 1137. Baldwin of Germanikeia died in a war in 1146. He was trying recover Edessa Nur ad-Din Zangi which had taken the side of Joscelin II of Edessa. His successor, Reynald of Germanikeia also died in battle of Inab against Zengids and Mesud I, Sultan of Rum took the city in 1149.
Marash was captured by Zengids in 1151 but recaptured by Seljuks in 1152. But, Maras was recaptured by Zengids in 1173 and was left to Mleh, his collaborator. Marash passed to Seljuks in 1174 and to Ayyubids in 1182.
Kaykhusraw I, Sultan of Rum captured Marash in 1208. Seljuk rule lasted to 1258. In 1258, Maras was captured by the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, following the war with the Ilkhanate. Served by an Armenian Apostolic Church Archbishop, it became for a very short period of time, the seat of the Catholicossate of the Great House of Cilicia. Marash was captured by Al-Ashraf Khalil, Mamluk Sultan in 1292. But, it was recaptured by Hethum II, King of Cilician Armenia in 1299. Marash finally was taken by the Mamluks in 1304.
Marash was ruled by Dulkadirs, as vassals of Mamluks between 1337-1515 before being annexed to the Ottoman Empire. In the early days of Ottoman rule (1525-6) there were 1,557 adult males (total population 7,500), at this time all the inhabitants were Muslims. Later a substantial number of non Muslims immigrated into the city mainly in the 19th century.

THE NOTORIOUS HOT POTATO
ELISABETH LY BELL
This bibliography of secondary material is arranged chronologically; for items published during the same year, the entries are in alphabetical order. Not listed here are the initial book reviews or the many dissertations and theses written on The Public Burning.
Had it not been for 2½ disruptive years of personal and legal infighting after the book was finished, Robert Coover's big novel could have been published in time for the 1976 Bicentennial. Those difficult times for the author, as well as the book's odyssey from the first publisher to lawyers and on to different publishers and their legal consultants, are poignantly summed up by William H. Gass in his introduction to the reissue of the novel by Grove Press in 1998. In 1966, 10 years before the different companies' legal teams "Nixoned the novel's publication," Coover had realized that the Rosenberg case and the executions had virtually disappeared from public memory. He decided to give "this watershed event for America" a fresh treatment; when Nixon prepared to run for the presidency in 1968, Coover found his clown-like narrator for the events of 1953. For this retrospective he then still envisioned a short, parodic theatrical piece. By 1971, he abandoned the original theater idea for a novel as the more suitable format for his encyclopedic narrative. A reminder of this earlier concept can be found in Coover's 1973 publication of "The public burning of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg: an historical romance." After Watergate broke in June 1972, Coover remarks, he was forced to "work a lot harder, dig deeper, think beyond the [Nixon] pratfalls." During the years of working on and re-working the novel, Coover's agent George Borchardt was positively engaged throughout and finally, in 1975, the book was finished.
More than two decades after the original publication in 1977, critical reception of and responses to The Public Burning have not radically changed. Then, as today, there existed two distinct camps, either enthusiastically pro or vehemently contra, with apparently no middle ground. What has lessened over time, however, is the original, almost hysterical outcry from a number of righteous (though often quite amusing) critics. Coover was accused of a myriad of transgressions: of "violating the ethics of literature," of "bad taste and blatant falsehood," of having written an "anti-American book," of manufacturing a "cartoon saga of Richard Nixon and the Rosenbergs," of publishing "a story going too far beyond readers' sense of what is permissible." Some reviewers could not refrain from applying their own brand of "psychology" to the author, to his "troubling book," and to "the astonishing degree of puerility it exhibits." This group not only analyzed "the author's spleen against Nixon and America," but also determined that "the underlying problem is that rage has replaced intelligence." Yet the main hue and cry was and still is over the integrity of the historical record, over how far a novelist may go in treating real (and living) historical figures, over the limits of political satire and the political novel. Some of these voices could still be heard in the late 80s, particularly those calling for a supposed historical accuracy. These detractors defined Coover's reconsideration of the Rosenberg case a "fantastic distortion of history."
The other, much larger group of early critics, reviewed Coover's madly inventive satire "with the energy and passion the book deserved." Later commentators centered their debates, critical assessments, and discussions on The Public Burning's great virtuosity, extravagance, and mastery, on its magic, mythology and meaning. Their voluminous output would fill several pages, of which only a selection is listed in the bibliography. Among them, remarkably enough, are a number of examinations in prestigious law journals and historical reviews.
One chapter in Virginia Carmichael's unusual and fascinating study, Framing History: The Rosenberg Story and the Cold War, offers a discussion of Coover's treatment of the Rosenberg case for "a consideration of the function of storytelling—of narrative—in history." Carmichael investigates Coover's suspicion of and dealings with myths, and his commitment to design (as evidenced in the novel's symmetrical and numerical layout). His use of language "performs provocative incongruities on three linguistic levels: rhetorical and stylistic, logical and semantic, and dramatic and structural." Applying Victor Turner's concept of "social drama" and his category of "liminality," she then explores "Robert Coover's critical interrogation of cold war relationships among gender, class, myth and power," focusing "on the historical production and cultural uses of the Rosenbergs and the Rosenberg story."
A different approach is taken by Jackson I. Cope in Robert Coover's Fictions. In one densely packed chapter he analyzes in detail Coover's interlacing and incorporation of concepts such as "circus," Roger Caillois' "dream time," Mikhail Bakhtine's "dialogic novel" and "the carnivalesque," and Robert N. Bellah's "civil religion." Cope ends his excellent discussion of The Public Burning with this conclusion on the novel's final words—the departing Uncle Sam tells Nixon: "always leave 'em laughin' as you say good-bye!"—"the last words of the first truly dialogic, perhaps the first truly American, novel. They are, I hope, Robert Coover's plaudite upon having been ringmaster to the most difficult circus stunt in the history of American literature."
Probably the most comprehensive essay-length evaluation of The Public Burning can be read in Arnold L. Weinstein's Nobody's Home, where he describes "this American epic" as "what still looks to be [Coover's] magnum opus," "a rich cornucopia of all his styles and manias, a book of imperial proportions chronicling a crucial chapter of paranoia in American history [...] but ultimately crafting a surreal operatic fantasia commensurate with the mythic dimensions of the American way of life." Weinstein discusses not only Nixon's function as a clown but even more crucially "the frenzied carnivalization at the heart of the novel." When examining Uncle Sam's language, Weinstein implicitly comments on the overall result of the novel's use of language: "What Coover has done is to focus so intently and passionately on the slogans of American jingoism that he has found their poetry. And in finding their poetry, he has produced some of the most rollicking and vibrant prose of the century." Weinstein concludes that Uncle Sam "has the juiciest language in the novel, the raunchiest and often the most brilliant running commentary on American res publica ever to have been penned."
A complicated novel to render in any language other than American English, The Public Burning nevertheless has been translated into both French and German. In addition, excerpts were published in Polish. Essays about the novel have appeared in Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Holland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Poland, Romania, and Spain; and the responses from critics as well as the novel's acceptance by readers outside the U.S. have been overwhelmingly positive, despite the book's very American topic.
In the United States, The Public Burning has been accepted into the canon of contemporary classics, is regularly taught at institutions of higher learning, and may very well reintroduce this period of American history into the national dialogue. Perhaps the novel's clown had known as much all along: "I think, unless you discipline yourself to writing, you talk too much."—Richard M. Nixon [TV program 20/20 (May 9, 1985)]

Red Dragon (2002)
July 17, 2021 July 25, 2021 / filmoblivion
The 2002 film "Red Dragon" was shot around Baltimore, Maryland, Southern California and the Florida Keys. In the opening scene, Will Graham, played by Edward Norton, successfully captures Hannibal Lector, played by Anthony Hopkins. In the aftermath of those events, Graham has retired to a quiet life in the Florida Keys. Graham's house is said to be located in Marathon, Florida. The home is actually located about 30 miles north of Marathon, in the village of Islamorada. The house sits far back from the road, behind another property and many trees, so it is unfortunately not visible from the street.
LOCATION: 183 Carroll St, Islamorada, FL 33036
The other side of the property is briefly seen when Jack Crawford, played by Harvey Keitel, visits to persuade Graham to assist in the pursuit of a serial killer known as Tooth Fairy.
Graham visits the Tooth Fairy's crime scene at the Leeds family house, which is supposedly located in Atlanta, Georgia. In reality, the home can be found in Long Beach, California. The house, seen under the cloak of night, may not be immediately recognizable to viewers, but it was more famously featured as the home of Ferris in the 1986 comedy "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." The same home was also featured in the films "Not Another Teen Movie" and "American Dreamer."
Francis Dolarhyde, played by Ralph Fiennes, picks up a morning newspaper at this corner, where he has a brief confrontation with the man selling the papers. The same alley, which leads to the back of the Los Angeles Theater, can be seen the film "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang."
LOCATION: Lindley Pl / W 6th St, Los Angeles, CA 90014

Slipstream's timely new play addresses gender identity; Maks and Val will strut their stuff at Caesars Windsor
Best of the best: 5 fun things to do July 21-27 Slipstream's timely new play addresses gender identity; Maks and Val will strut their stuff at Caesars Windsor Check out this story on Freep.com: http://on.freep.com/2a9Dzag

George Bernard Shaw gets swept into the frenzied 21st Century in "P.Y.G.," the socially conscious comedy-drama opening Friday at Ferndale's Slipstream Theatre Initiative. Inspired by Shaw's "Pygmalion" (which also inspired "My Fair Lady"), the play pokes fun at today's media-obsessed culture by exploring the goings-on at a reality-TV show tasked with finding America's next pretty young girl (or, ahem, P.Y.G. for short). When Alyssa, a transgender girl, shows up to compete, things get interesting. The show's ambitious producer and director see an opportunity to strike ratings gold, but there are complications: The show's stylist is a transgender rights activist, and Alyssa's mother is something of a bigot. The commentary on gender roles was written by local actor Maxim Vinogradov and Slipstream artistic director Bailey Boudreau. Jackson Aboharisa stars as Alyssa.
8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 7 p.m. Sunday, Slipstream Theatre Initiative, 460 Hilton, Ferndale. 313-986-9156. www.slipstreamti.com. $12 advance. Through Aug. 14.
Ralph Taylor, founder of Caribbean Mardi Gras Productions and a 2016 Kresge Artist Fellow, has a vision for the Islandview neighborhood on Detroit's east side. The native of Trinidad, whose company creates elaborate, heavily sequined Mardi Gras and Carnival costumes for celebrations in Detroit and all over the world, wants to establish an arts center to "unite the neighborhood and create new opportunities for my neighbors in the lower east side." To help his dream take shape, he's hosting a fund-raising event, AN ARTIST CELEBRATING HIS NEIGHBORHOOD, on Saturday at the 11:11 Warehouse, the 30,000-square-foot site of the arts center Taylor envisions. The strolling dinner and dance party will include live entertainment, music and flashy costumes from Taylor's company.
6:30 p.m. Saturday, 11:11 Warehouse, 1111 Beaufait, Detroit. $100. A dance party with a cash bar will follow the 6:30 p.m. fund-raising event. It starts at 10 p.m. and tickets are $20. brownpapertickets.com.

Detroit nonprofit Art Road, whose goal is to bring art classes back to public schools in Detroit, is the beneficiary of this weekend's MICHIGAN GLASS PROJECT at the Russell Industrial Center. Donated works of art will be up for silent-auction bid at the three-day event, and proceeds will be donated to Art Road. Live glassblowing demonstrations will take place all weekend, and live music and food will enhance the festival-like atmosphere. In addition, after-hours events are planned for each night of the event. Friday's party is at the Marble Bar, while the Whitney will host Saturday's garden party. On Sunday night, the action, including a live auction at 10:30 p.m., moves to the Old Miami.
11 a.m.-9 p.m. Friday-Saturday, noon-8 p.m. Sunday, Russell Industrial Center, 1600 Clay St., Detroit. themichiganglassproject.com. $15 day pass, $25 weekend pass. After-hours events are $5 or $10 (and free with a weekend pass).
Maksim and Valentin Chmerkovskiy, those Ukrainian hunkaroos who set hearts aflutter when they take the stage on "Dancing with the Stars," are headed to a casino near you. The brothers, both pro dancers on "DWTS," are touring this summer with "MAKS & VAL LIVE ON TOUR: OUR WAY," and they're due Friday at Caesars Windsor. The Chmerkovskiys "are bringing to life the show they have dreamed about since childhood, combining an honest and unfiltered narrative of their life story with world-class dancing," say show promoters, who also promise those who venture across the U.S. border an evening of "timeless elegance and steamy seduction." (That means, we think, tight black pants and bare torsos.)
8 p.m. Friday, Colosseum at Caaesars Windsor, 377 Riverside Drive, Windsor. 800-991-7777. www.caesarswindsor.com. $25 and up Canadian.

You can dress as Batman or Wonder Woman and bring along Fido or Fluffy when you show up Saturday for STAY FIT FOR HEALTH, a 3K walk and 5K walk/run sponsored by the Detroit Parks & Recreation Department. The goal of the first-of-its-kind event is to promote fitness by encouraging use of the city's parks and programs offered by the parks department. Participants will register by age category, and all are invited to come dressed as a favorite superhero. (There's a costume contest!) Pets are welcome to get in on the fitness fun, too. Awards will be given to first place overall and in various age categories, but everyone gets a participation medal and T-shirt. The race kicks off near the Brennan Pool in River Rouge Park on the city's west side.
Check-in starts at 7:30 a.m. Saturday and the runs start at 9 a.m., 21415 Plymouth Road, Detroit. Registration fees are $15-$40. Register at runsignup.com.

Die Technische Universität Košice, slowakisch Technická univerzita v Košiciach, ist eine öffentliche technische Universität in der slowakischen Stadt Košice.

Geschichte
Bereits 1657 wurde eine Universitas Cassoviensis in Košice gegründet. 1937 erfolgte die Gründung einer ersten technischen Fachschule in Košice, die jedoch bedingt durch die Vorkriegsereignisse ihren Lehrbetrieb nicht aufnahmen konnte, sondern zuerst nach Prešov, dann nach Martin und schließlich nach Bratislava verlegt wurde, wo sie später den Kern der Technischen Universität Bratislava bildete.

Im Juli 1952 wurden am Standort Košice durch Regierungsbeschluss Nr. 30/1952 die ersten drei Fakultäten für Maschinenbau, Bergbau und Metallurgie gegründet. 2005 wurde die Luftwaffenakademie Milan Rastislav Štefánik der Universität als Fakultät für Luftfahrt eingegliedert.

Fakultäten

Es gibt neun Fakultäten:
 Fakultät für Bergbau, Ökologie, Prozessleittechnik und Geotechnik
 Fakultät für Metallurgie
 Fakultät für Maschinenbau
 Fakultät für Elektrotechnik und Informatik
 Fakultät für Bauingenieurwesen
 Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften
 Fakultät für Fertigungstechnik (in Prešov)
 Fakultät für Gestaltung
