Behind the Scoreline
Regular ESPN viewers may already know Seth Walder '11 from his role as a sports analytics writer. He might be explaining why the Chicago Bulls have a 59 percent chance of victory in their next game, or how many yards Tom Brady covered in his last game and what he's expected to do in his next one.
Seth Walder '11
Toward the end of the spring semester, the Office of Career Exploration and Development invited Walder back to the Bowdoin campus to talk about his career, offer some advice, and answer questions.
Describe your current job at ESPN?
We have a sports analytics team at ESPN that is within the large ESPN Stats & Information department. We're mostly a group of statisticians and developers tasked with creating new and advanced metrics about some of the sports ESPN covers. The most basic and widely seen example of this are our Power Indices, which we produce for the NFL, college football, the NBA, and college basketball. These models rate team strength, make game predictions, and produce projections. So, anytime you are watching Sportscenter and a graphic pops up saying "LSU has an 11 percent chance to win the SEC," that's coming from us.
While most of the team is made up of statisticians and developers, my job is a little bit different. My role is to turn the metrics our team creates into sports stories. That's often done through articles on ESPN.com and occasionally through on-air appearances. There's also another aspect of my job, which is to spread both our metrics and the stories they can tell internally. ESPN's such a large place that you can't expect to create a new statistic on Monday and expect it to appear on NFL Live on Tuesday. We have to talk to folks internally to show off our tools and explain how they help us tell sports stories that fans want to hear.
What impact is player-tracking technology having on sports coverage and the sports industry in general?
A tremendous impact. It's played a big role in baseball and basketball, but I'll talk about football here because it's my favorite, and it's a really exciting time in the sport for analytics. For a few years now, there have been chips in every player's shoulder pads that deliver data about their location, speed, and orientation throughout a play. A little over a year ago, teams got access to all of that information for the first time.
When most people first hear of NFL Next Gen Stats—that's what the league calls player tracking—they think of things like speed or acceleration, but it's really so much more than that. A simple example of what the data can provide is tagging: within seconds of a play, a system automatically has identified who was on the field, what formation the offense was in, which receivers received press coverage, how many high safeties there were, and more. This ends up saving a ton of time for coaches, who otherwise would have had to track all that manually.
Then there are simple statistics: the average separation, for example, between a receiver and a defensive back when the ball arrives, or how long a running back takes to reach the line of scrimmage on a rushing play.
The most exciting thing about tracking technology, however, is the advanced identification of football strategies and plays, and the information that comes out of that. What I mean by that is creating advanced models to classify, for example, different route types, different coverage types, which routes are the best against which type of coverage, and where the optimal place is to make a cut in that route. How much of a difference does it make if there's an exceptionally skilled free safety on the play? Are you less likely to have success if you keeping running that same route? The questions, and the possibilities, are endless, and the entire industry is just getting started digging into this new data. If you want to learn about the work being done on this front, check out the Big Data Bowl the NFL put on last year.
What was your career trajectory?
At Bowdoin I was coeditor in chief of the Orient and that really helped prepare me for a career in journalism. I got an internship in the sports department of the New York Daily News after graduating. My internship went well and I was fortunate that there was an opening in the department, and they offered me a job as a high school sports reporter.
It was a tough job—long subway, bus, and even ferry rides to the farthest corners of the five boroughs to cover matches—but it was an excellent learning experience. Then, in the 2012 offseason, the Jets traded for Tim Tebow, and that summer my editors asked me to go up to Cortland, NY, for three weeks. I was assigned to cover the team's training camp and to almost exclusively write about Tebow—not kidding! I stuck around covering the Jets as a backup writer that season before becoming the beat writer the following season. I did that for a few seasons and covered the Giants some in 2016 as well.
Walder explains the increasingly important role of statistics in sports coverage
I liked the job, and it was exactly what I wanted to do a few years earlier. But I had an itch to get into the quantitative side of sports. It was a tall order: I didn't have any of the statistics or programming skills really required. But I followed what was going on in sports analytics, especially in football, and tried to write some more numbers-heavy articles when I had the chance. When I saw a job posting for a Sports Analytics Writer at ESPN, I knew I had to jump at it. I'm so happy—it really is my dream job.
Do you have any career advice for people wanting to work in this area?
It took an extreme stroke of fortune for me to land a sports analytics job without the normal requisite technical skills. The better approach is to actually learn that yourself. The advice is simple: Take some statistics courses and learn either R or Python.

Gyms refusing to close, demand proof of virus transmission from health officials
Defiant gyms demand proof
Tim Petruk - Jan 6, 2022 / 4:00 am | Story: 356205

A patron enters No Limits Fitness on Eighth Street on Wednesday night. The gym is one of five in Kamloops refusing to close under the latest B.C. public health orders.
A group of Kamloops gyms refusing to comply with the latest public health order requiring they temporarily shutter to curb the spread of the highly transmissible Omicron variant of COVID-19 have vowed to stay open until government officials show proof the virus has been spreading inside fitness facilities.
"Show me the books," Justin Grover told Castanet Kamloops.
"Show me the information. Show me how you came to that decision. And if it makes sense, then yeah, we'll close. If it doesn't make sense, then no we won't."
Grover, a co-owner of No Limits Fitness, speaks on behalf of a group of five Kamloops gyms remaining open in defiance of a public health order that came into effect a few days before Christmas — one requiring every fitness facility in B.C. to close until Jan. 18 at the earliest.
According to Grover, No Limits, Gold's Gym, Anytime Fitness, Lady's Only and Strength Camp remain open in defiance of the order.
B.C. provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry was asked this week about the gyms refusing to close. She reiterated that fitness facilities have been the source of COVID-19 spread at various points throughout the pandemic — especially when community transmission is high, like it is now with Omicron.
Henry said gyms are a high-risk setting for spread given what's going on inside them.
"It just is," she said.
"It's the same with travel, it's the same with certain industries that are higher-risk industries. And when we have a lot of transmission in our community, we have repeatedly seen gyms become amplifiers and we have a number of examples of that we've put out information on.
"I can't tell you every single case that's been linked to a gym, but we can tell you that we've seen this as a pattern — that these are environments that are higher risk."
No Limits received a warning last week from Interior Health requesting the facility comply with the order and close its doors.
"Our office will be following up to determine your compliance with the requirements outlined above," the letter reads.
"If you are found to be in non-compliance, a violation ticket will be issued. Continued non-compliance will result in further enforcement action, which may include suspension of licences, permits and/or ordered closure."
Grover said he's not intimidated by the letter and he won't be closing his gym — at least not until he's satisfied the government has shown its cards. He said he's filed an FOI seeking the information relied upon by health officials in deciding to shutter B.C.'s fitness sector.
"Until we get an FOI back on how they came to that decision, we're going to keep operating our business because we're not breaking any laws," he said.
According to Grover, more than 250 gyms in B.C. have now joined in on the defiance.
"Some have received letters and some have not," he said.
"Some have received bylaw officers and some have not. Some have had RCMP come and some have not. We, as a group, have collectively come together. We've got our own internal communication system. There's more than 250 of us, and we're standing up until they give us the information that we're seeking."
Grover said he feels for Henry and B.C.'s health officials, but he refuses to close his doors without further explanation.
"I understand where she's coming from," he said.
"They're trying to be overcautious with this variant, and I agree with her that sometimes maybe you should be overcautious with a variant you don't have any information on. But to close an entire industry because you don't have any information? That doesn't make sense."
Copies of the warning sent to No Limits were also sent to city hall and to the Kamloops RCMP detachment.
City of Kamloops community services manager Tammy Blundell told Castanet on Wednesday her department has received zero complaints about the defiant gyms.
"Community services responds to all complaints that come through our office," she said.
"To date, community services has not received any complaints through our office regarding any of the gyms refusing to close."
Blundell said city officials will visit the gyms if they receive a complaint. In such a case, she said, steps would be taken to educate the owners about the orders and the impacts of non-compliance.
"We would then forward the complaint to Interior Health," she said.
"The city is not involved with issuing violation tickets."
IH told Castanet health officials have been in contact with 15 gyms and issued five warning letters since the latest order came into effect.
"Further steps will be taken for gyms who remain open despite initial enforcement actions," IH spokesperson Karl Hardt in a statement.

Parkland students seek to clinch the youth vote
Steve LeVine

Tomorrow is U.S. voter registration day, and among the key questions heading into the November midterms is whether young people will turn out in higher numbers than usual. Since people aged 18-30 tend to vote Democratic, whether they actually cast ballots could have a decisive impact on numerous races.
What's going on: Student leaders from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, have organized a partnership with some 200 mayors across the U.S. in an attempt to elevate youth voting.
David Hogg, a key organizer for the Parkland students, told Axios today that the mayors have pledged to have registration tables at all high schools and community colleges in their cities.
In Florida, youth voter registration soared more than 40% after the Parkland shooting in February, according to an analysis released in July. Hogg said youth registration is up by double-digits in numerous states.
The effort is in partnership with the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the African American Mayors Association.
As to whether these youths will actually get to the polls on Nov. 6, Hogg says his interactions during his tours of the country have made him "incredibly optimistic." The Parkland-led group, called March for Our Lives, is developing a "very large plan" to mobilize, but said the details are "a secret."


Hi all, this is my first time to post a thread in this forum.
I had been studying especially on ZF41 scopes.
And had been collecting data of them (serial# and markings) and compiling them into a list. After working on for about 10 years, now I have managed to show almost every marking patterns connecting to serial numbers on each manufactures.
For further study, I would like to share information I have got and express my thoughts and hear your opinions or acquire new information.
I would start with basic facts on ZF41 scopes.
Except for the difference of the markings, 3 type exist. ZF41 Type1, Type2 and ZF41/1.
See how to distinguish those types.
"Longer ocular tube" on ZF41/1 means by that you can see its end out of the rear rainshield. It also means the main scope body is shorter, so the total length of the scope is same.
ZF41 Type2 and ZF41/1 are similar in appearance but VERY different inside.
I knew Luc from Belgium. I have talked with him at an other forum, before his website. He had seen my website, but somehow did not understand the difference between Type2 and ZF41/1. He called ZF41/1 as Type2 too.
I will write about inside, the optical components of ZF41, in the next posting.
Ken, you did a great job with your work. I think most do not comment, because it is simply perfect.
It a great source of information, specifically as a small thought of buying a ZF41 in forming in my mind at the moment.
Thanks a lot for posting this. The is now part of my reference library..
Really great work, thank you!
Thank you for your comments. It is really good to get replies when thinking a bit that perhaps no one will be interested. Now, I will continue with pleasure.
There is a large difference between 2 types, ZF41 and ZF41/1. Between Type1 and Type2, the difference is only the size of the objective lenses.
ZF41 has 9 elements (lenses) in 6 groups. 2+1 in objective cell, 2+2 for erecting lens, 1+1 for ocular lens. The main objective lens is a doublet (2 lenses as one), while all other lenses seem to be single lenses. The main ocular lens is buried into the ocular tube and cannot be taken out. 2 erecting lenses are separated by a spacer and held in their positions within the erector cell.
ZF41/1 is a simplified version of ZF41 and has less lenses. It has 7 elements in 4 groups. 2 in objective, 2+2 for erecting, 1 for ocular. I do not know what exact difference is made with 2 less lenses than ZF41, but I am sure that the quality of view is poorer.
I had been long thinking of making drawings of both types to show the difference of the optical systems, but I had not enough time and ability. So here is one (ZF41/1) from wartime US ordnance report (dated 14 Feb.1945).
I have to say, I have disassembled only a few scopes. And I also know there are transitional or experimental variants whose systems I realy do not know. So new informations are always welcome.
Next time, I would like to write about the production of ZF41.
It's amazing how much information you have amassed on these! Very nice work and great presentation.
I encourage everyone with a ZF41 to submit the data. I will send my data, I only have 1 scope.
Great job. Thanks for your hard work.
Great work! I remember coming across your site years ago but I think was very little English at that point.
Excellent work and a great job!
I will submit my ZF41 data as well.
Thank you for joining and sharing your research work. It is appreciated.

SUBCONTRACTORS & VENDORS
Erland / Continuing Construction Amid COVID-19: A Field Perspective
Authored by Mitch Beyer, Field Supervisor & COVID-19 Officer
Continuing construction amid the COVID-19 pandemic was definitely a steep learning curve. Back in March of 2020, information and guidance would change overnight. We had to deal with a lot of unknowns. Most of those were resolved thanks to the CDC's guidelines, state and local mandates, and Erland's COVID-19 Response Team. Regularly having to implement new rules was difficult, but our subcontractor partners adjusted quickly and followed the procedures we put in place.
Ensuring worker safety was a priority on every Erland jobsite. We implemented the following initiatives to minimize the potential spread of COVID-19:
Installed handwashing and disinfecting stations
Staggered access to work areas
Reduced the number of people in spaces
Reinforced the use of proper PPE
Implemented 6-foot social distancing
Scheduled daily sanitation
Designated an Erland site-specific COVID-19 Officer for each jobsite who continuously monitored and reported on compliance with CDC and other regulatory requirements
Required self-certifications be completed prior to entering the jobsite each day
Additionally, we held multiple socially distanced and virtual stand-downs to keep our staff and subcontractor partners informed and prevent them from becoming complacent with regards to the virus. We even hired a bus company that followed the 6-foot social distancing policy to pick up subcontractor employees that were unable to get to work without carpooling.
Many construction activities require more than one person to complete a single task. This is difficult to do when you're in the midst of a global pandemic and need to maintain a 6-foot social distance at all times. We were required to come up with new practices almost every day to complete work while reducing the need to be directly next to another person. Though this was challenging, it was a great way to get our subcontractor partners more involved. We worked together to brainstorm adaptations to typical construction activities that allowed us to remain 6-feet apart and still put work in place. An example of this is prefabbing components as a solitary activity thus reducing the time spent working in close proximity.
Another challenge was reinforcing the proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during the hotter months. It was difficult to work efficiently while wearing face coverings, eye protection, and cut-resistant gloves. We tried to keep morale up as much as possible and thanked our crews for their efforts regularly.
It's important to note that as we moved through different stages of construction, we adapted some of our COVID-19 safety protocols. For example, once our building was enclosed and the movement of air had changed, we had to increase the decontamination of all spaces, find ways to create better air flow, and limit the number of people in the building.
A year later, we're pretty accustom to the COVID-19 safety protocols and have finally gotten back into a rhythm of work that mimics where we were prior to being disrupted. Unfortunately, no matter how much preplanning is done prior to construction, there will always be hurdles to overcome throughout the building process. COVID-19 was certainly a major one! It's not something anyone could've predicted, but it has brought a whole new level of understanding to managing construction and client expectations which is something we can all appreciate and learn from.

Hospital patients recover faster when they can view nature.
Working with plants can improve concentration, encourage relaxation, and improve self-esteem.
Digging in rich, black soil just feels good. But why?
There is a depth of mystery in the natural world. The emerging field called Nature-Based Therapeutics – which includes, but isn't limited to – therapeutic horticulture, horticultural therapy, restorative environments, therapeutic landscapes, and healing gardens – invites us into nature's mystery.
This distinctive connection between humans and other living systems — called "biophilia" by Edward O. Wilson — offers a glimpse of something extraordinary, a journey into the realm of the sacred.
I often hear from clients, students, staff, and others about the experience of something deeply spiritual when immersed in nature and all of its beauty. Some experience an awareness of how limited our grasp of nature is when taken in all its vast complexity. These moments are at the heart of the Nature-Based Therapeutic experience – what I've come to know over the years as the inexplicable transformational power of spirituality and healing when partnering with nature.
their journey of self-discovery. Nature can open the door to our innate intelligence, awaken the sacred within, and help us to see that everything is connected with a shared purpose, rhythm, and balance.
How else can nature affect wellbeing?
While physiologic indicators of stress can decrease after exposure to nature, indicators of immune response can increase, according to research reported in 2011 (International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology). Subjects who visited a forested area were found to have enhanced activity of their natural killer (NK) cells. These cells provide a rapid response to cells infected with a virus and also attack tumor cells. In addition, the same individuals had higher levels of anticancer proteins within their NK cells.
Research has shown that cognitive benefits gained by working with plants include improvements in concentration, ability to remember, and ability to pay attention. Additionally, research reported in the Journal of Advanced Nursing (2010) suggests that working with plants may also ameliorate clinical depression. After participating in a 12-week program of therapeutic horticulture, 50 percent of depressed patients studied showed a clinically relevant decline in their scores on a depression-measuring test. This reduction in depression continued to be in effect when measured three months after the program ended. Multiple studies have found that cognitive malfunctioning in children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) improves upon exposure to nature, reported Biopsychosocial Medicine in 2012. One study found that performance on concentration-requiring tasks was higher after the children tested had spent time in a natural, wooded area, compared to a built, urban area.
Another study suggested that children with ADHD showed milder symptoms when engaged in activities in an outdoor environment than when engaged in the same activities in an indoor, windowless play area.
Not only can interacting with the natural environment reduce stress and improve both immune and cognitive functioning, it may also help counter health inequalities associated with lower socioeconomic status (Biopsychosocial Medicine 2012). That was the conclusion of researchers who found that people who had low income but high levels of residential green space had mortality rates comparable to people of higher socioeconomic status.

measurable, positive health effects. Therapeutic horticulture uses plants and plant-related activities to promote health and wellbeing. Gardening provides an opportunity to create and control the environment. This sense of control creates a sense of empowerment and self-esteem, which aids healing. Gardening also affords a sense of purpose and achievement, which can support people dealing with depression or other mental health concerns.

AMD's Ryzen7000 processors will be more efficient.
AMD first announced its forthcoming Ryzen7000 series CPUs as well as it's brand new Zen 4-CPU architecture during CES back in the month of January. The company stated it would be built using the brand-new AM5 CPU socket. It also said that they would be made using the 5-nanometer manufacturing process by TSMC and are expected to be released in the autumn.
The facts haven't changed yet, and AMD hasn't yet provided pricing or other information about the availability of AMD's new chip. However, at the Computex presentation earlier this week AMD disclosed a couple of additional information regarding its Ryzen7000 processors as well as the motherboards, chipsets, and other components which will work with them once they're released to the public over the next few months.
Related: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Plunges to $400 Below MSRP
Before we go into the specifics that are part of Zen 4, Ryzen7000 or AMD's 600 series chipsets we must review the basic information about the forthcoming AM5 processor socket.
This also means that the AM5 socket represents a huge leap ahead, regardless of its connected processor. This is AMD's first Land-Grid-Array (LGA) socket for CPUs meaning it has (like Intel's) the tiny copper pins residing in the motherboard socket instead of in the processor's bottom. The maximum power limit for AM5 has been increased to 170 W, as opposed to AM4's 142W, which opens the way to more core-count processors that run faster and last longer. AM5 is also able to support PCI Express 5.0 (though the exact level of support you receive will depend on the chipset you use and your processor) This requires upgrading in DDR5 memory.
Related: The GPU Shortage Is Over
This DDR5 memory upgrade could be the only negative with AM5 as well as Ryzen7000 when compared against 12th-gen Alder Lake CPUs, at least for the near term. Alder Lake-compatible motherboards are available in DDR5 and DDR4 models, allowing buyers to choose whether they prefer the (mostly minimal however not insignificant) performance advantages of DDR5 or prefer to use the existing DDR4 kit. DDR4 is also less expensive and is easier to locate than DDR5 at present, however, it will change in the future when support is greater and more widely available, as makers increase DDR5 production in order to keep up with the demand.
AMD Ryzen7000
Socket AM5 can also allow quad-channel DDR5 memory on motherboards with sufficient RAM slots. In the past, most PCs designed for the consumer or enthusiast market have been able to run dual-channel memory. Quad-channel RAM was reserved for more expensive workstations and server CPUs. AMD's Zen architectures are more sensitive to increases in bandwidth over Intel's chips, no matter if you're discussing enhanced graphics capabilities or just general CPU performance. However, doubling the capacity of memory won't necessarily mean you'll get better performance. We'll be waiting for more tests and benchmarks in order to determine how much quad-channel memory is worth the additional price.
Related: Nvidia RTX 4080 Hashrate, Release Date, Price, Specs
AMD states that in spite of all the AM5 upgrades the dimensions and design of the CPU's package are the same. This was deliberately done to ensure that coolers made specifically for AM4 chips will continue to function in conjunction with AM5 chips. The Intel LGA 1700 socket has a larger, more rectangular design than its predecessor sockets, which could (but isn't the only way to) cause problems with CPU cooler compatibility depending on the point at which the top side of the processor cooler comes into contact with the processor.
Connections to AM5 motherboards will be dependent on the processor you're using and on the motherboard you purchase. However, AMD claims that AM5 motherboards are able to offer up to 24 PCIe 5.0 bandwidth as well as fourteen 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 ports, as well as at least 4 HDMI 2.1 as well as DisplayPort 2.0 ports to drive displays that incorporate a GPU.
Related: Nvidia RTX 4090 Hashrate
It's Zen 4 architecture will make its debut this fall with Ryzen7000 series CPUs. AMD's initial Ryzen 700 CPUs feature as many as 16 cores which is also the most of the Ryzen 5500 series. In contrast to Intel and Apple, AMD doesn't use tiny "efficiency" cores to handle tasks that require low power or to increase its core count, therefore the entire 16 cores processors will function as "P-cores" with all the same performance and features. It is expected that a 16-core Ryzen7000 chip would comprise two 5 nanometer eight-core CPU chiplets with an upgraded I/O die based on a 6-nm process. These Features will boost the performance of Ryzen7000 to advanced levels.
AMD did not go into details regarding this in the presentation, but one thing worth noting is that AMD's top-end chipsets of this generation are believed to include two separate chips instead of one. This is a reflection of AMD's use of triplets in the CPU itself. instead of creating and manufacturing two distinct chipsets or creating a single chip and then turning a portion of it off for less expensive devices, AMD will simply use the two chipsets to provide more PCI Express lanes and I/O support for motherboards with higher specs. However, we'll have to wait for more information about how these chipsets can communicate with one another and which of the three new chipsets (X670E, X670, and the B650) will utilize several chips, and which ones will be able to work by using only the same chip.

It's also worth noting that the slideshow of AMD does not refer to the B650 chipset's overclocking capabilities. However, this doesn't mean B650 won't have the ability to be overclocked. AMD has confirmed that B650 chipsets would be capable of overclocking similar to older BA and B-series chipsets. The absence of this chip could simply mean that X670-based systems will employ higher-quality voltage regulator modules (VRMs) as well as other components which will provide more efficient results when you overclock top-of-the-line chips.

The smell of art | Apollo Magazine
Ellen Terry ('Choosing') (detail; 1864), George Frederic Watts. National Portrait Gallery, London

At first glance Jacob van Ruisdael's View of Haarlem with Bleaching Grounds (c. 1670–75) depicts a pleasant pastoral scene. Half of the painting – one of a series of popular Haerlempjes, or 'Haarlem views', for which Ruisdael was well known – is filled with sky, the billowing clouds emphasising the stark flatness of the Dutch landscape beneath. On the horizon lies the busy market town of Haarlem, dominated by the solid 15th-century Grote Kerk, which looms over the surrounding houses like a ship. In the foreground are a lake, trees and fields, on one of which bolts of linen have been laid out to bleach in the sun. It's a beautiful detail. The bright white sheets cutting across the green and brown of the field give the painting an almost abstract geometry. Yet this formal beauty obscures one of the things that many contemporary viewers would have most associated with the bleaching fields: their overpowering, unavoidable stench.
View of Haarlem with Bleaching Grounds (c. 1670–75), Jacob van Ruisdael. Mauritshuis, The Hague
Bleaching, like many proto-industrial processes, was a deeply noisome activity (this was the main reason such work was usually banished to outside the city walls). Its particular olfactory signature – a combination of rank buttermilk and sharp lye – would have been familiar to most 17th-century noses. Ruisdael's painting could be seen, therefore, as something of a visual joke, or at least a provocation. Regard this picturesque view, it seems to say, but be thankful you don't have to smell the reality it depicts.
This tension – between the presence of smell as a subject for art and its inevitable absence as a sensory experience induced by paintings – was not uncommon during the Dutch Golden Age. In Pieter de Hooch's Interior with Women beside a Linen Cupboard (1663), the clean domestic interior – spick-and-span flagstone floor, freshly washed linen, a child playing with her stick and ball – is undercut by the glimpse, through the door of the house, of a canal lurking in the background. Until the 19th century, such waterways would have functioned as public sewers, the odours of which, it was believed, were a threat to health. The smell of fetid water in cities was often so bad it forced wealthy citizens to flee their homes during the hot summer months. De Hooch's painting is therefore both a reminder of the gross reality of scent and a kind of moral warning: that the sweet odours of domesticity might at any time be overcome by noxious whiffs from the dangerous world outside.

In late February I sat in front of my laptop looking at De Hooch's painting and sniffing a small plastic pot from which emanated the vegetative stench of stagnant canal. The smell had been produced to accompany a timely exhibition, in which both De Hooch's and Ruisdael's paintings feature. The curators of 'Fleeting – Scents in Colour' at the Mauritshuis (until 29 August) have worked with industrial chemists to recreate a range of odours – both foul and fragrant – that evoke something of the olfactory world of 17th-century Holland: the stench of sewage and the strong perfumes that were used to mask it; the smell of tobacco and rare spices, some of which were then being imported to Europe for the first time. Sniffing canal water while hunched over a laptop might not sound like a particularly attractive proposition (when the exhibition opens again after lockdown, viewers will be able to use pedal-operated atomisers to sample these smells while looking at the paintings) but what made the experience so memorable, I think, is that smelling strong odours – whether pleasant or unpleasant – is an increasingly rare experience in everyday life.

The critics Martin Jay and Jonathan Crary have argued that over the last few hundred years we have become, in the developed world, less olfactorily literate than we once were. In post-Enlightenment Western culture, the eye is thought of as an organ of knowledge, associated with reading and therefore with thinking. We have come to privilege vision above the other senses, a bias reflected in the way that we often use visual metaphors when describing empirical experience (as in phrases such as 'do you see it?') and in the relative paucity of descriptive terms for smells in general.
This ocularcentrism is, perhaps unsurprisingly, particularly noticeable in the arts. Painters might be familiar with the smells of their materials (the earthy slap of linseed oil; the chemical bite of turps), but as viewers we are often forced to look at art against an olfactory backdrop that has been insistently, even aggressively, neutralised. This deodorisation has only been exacerbated during the Covid era. Not only has anosmia – the loss of the sense of smell – emerged as a key symptom of the virus, but the isolation of lockdown has separated us, olfactorily, from one another as never before. Behind our masks, in front of screens, our social lives have become almost completely odourless.
The paradox of smell is that it is both our most instinctive sense – intimate, familiar, evocative – and one that is particularly difficult to describe. Psychiatrists and philosophers have long thought it to be the sense that gets us closest to our animal selves. Sigmund Freud and the English sexologist Havelock Ellis both associated smell with sex: a result, they said, of the evolutionary separation, when humans became ambulatory, of the sex organs from the nose. Marcel Proust recognised smell to be a kind of memory portal, instantly transporting us through time. (Proust's description of a madeleine-triggered sensory reverie in À la recherche du temps perdu has since been endorsed by neuroscientists, who have found close physiological connections between the 'olfactory bulb', the part of the brain responsible for processing scent, and the hippocampus: the seat of memory.)
The Raising of Lazarus (1310–11), Duccio di Buoninsegna. Kimbell Art Museum, Forth Worth
The association between scent and emotion makes it surprising that smell has not been a more popular subject in Western art. Until relatively recently, when artists did engage with smell they tended to treat it as a symbol (of sensuousness in general, or religious fervour) rather than as a source of aesthetic experience on its own terms. Often, in line with miasmatic theories of disease which held that illnesses were caused by bad smells, painted odours were warnings, rather than invitations to sniff. In The Raising of Lazarus (1310–11), Duccio depicts both the spiritual and physical discomfort of bringing a corpse back to life by foregrounding the repulsive olfactory qualities of death, with a figure near the front of the group delicately covering his nose to ward off the stench of decay. It is striking that, of the group approaching the grave, it is this figure who looks most alive – and yet he is also the most deceived about what his senses are telling him. This is really a devotional image about the fickleness of odour: an illustration of the way faith – and consequently art – triumphs over our instinctual bodily revulsions. In an inversion of the story of doubting Thomas, the painting asks us to trust what we see, not what we think we know (or smell).
The primacy of the visual was reflected in northern European art of the 16th and 17th centuries, too. When odour was taken up as an artistic subject – often through allegorical studies of the five senses – it became a means of demonstrating the technical facility of printmakers and painters. A collaboration between Rubens and Jan Brueghel the Elder, Allegory of the Sense of Smell (1617–18) shows an Edenic scene filled with sweet-smelling objects. In the foreground Venus smells a posy, while Cupid lifts a bouquet of flowers up to her nose. All around her lie other objects and animals associated with smell: vanilla pods, a hunting hound, even a civet cat, extracts from whose glands were used in perfumery. The painting is both a fragrant Wunderkammer and a kind of advertisement: look how close we can come to a visual evocation of the most indescribable sense, it seems to say.

Smell has often been thought to be a particularly 'unshareable' sense: ineffable in its workings, and therefore resistant both to literary and figurative description. Aristotle placed vision and hearing above odour in his hierarchy of the five classical senses, and both Kant and Hegel would follow suit, arguing that the 'proximate senses' of smell, taste, and touch could never form the basis of lasting art. For Hegel olfaction, unlike the 'theoretical senses' of vision and hearing, was too much connected with 'the material and the unmediated sensual qualities of matter' to ever be truly aesthetic.
Still Life with Symbols of the Virgin Mary (1672), Dirck de Bray. Museum Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder, Amsterdam
There is a suspicion of earthy, bodily, even sexual pleasure in Hegel's dismissal, one reflected in the zeal with which smells were, in the long aftermath of the Reformation, stripped from religious and cultural life. Two paintings in the Mauritshuis exhibition reflect this transition. Where Dirck de Bray's Still Life with Symbols of the Virgin Mary (1672) associates Mary (represented by a sprig of rosemary and a blue flower) with the heavy scent of the thurible, Hendrick van Vliet's View inside the Saint Bavo Church in Haarlem (1666) portrays the interior of the post-Reformation Grote Kerk stripped of all decoration and embellishment, including the olfactory. Just as Protestantism removed icons from churches, so too did it do away with the smells of Catholicism.
The stark difference between these two paintings reflects a wider cultural shift in which smell gradually began to be thought of as a personal, even private, experience, rather than one associated with the public rituals of worship. From the end of the 17th century in Europe, smell began its decline as a dominant sense in social life. Where once the strong odours of the city needed to be masked by other, stronger fragrances (from the censor, nosegay or pomander), against a backdrop of advancing olfactory neutrality, scents, especially artificial ones, became subtler. They were increasingly associated with the subjective nature of perception, no longer used to obscure the world at large but to advertise the self.

That process accelerated in the 19th century, and as it did so artists began to understand smell as an experience that might have aesthetic value on its own terms. Painters increasingly represented smell as a private sense, to be enjoyed in secret. Dante Gabriel Rossetti, for instance, in paintings such as Venus Verticordia (1864–68) or Lady Lilith (1866–68), depicted dense arrangements of flowers pressing closely on his sequestered female figures, thereby aligning furtive allure with the possibilities of scent. In contrast, G.F. Watts's Choosing (1864), a portrait of Ellen Terry now in the National Portrait Gallery in London, becomes something of a reproof of the ability of artists to represent scent at all. It shows Terry smelling a visually impressive – but in fact odourless – camellia flower, while ignoring the handful of nondescript but strong-smelling blooms in her hand.
As the Western city was comprehensively deodorised, and as smell took on its association with interiority, developments in olfactory chemistry began to allow for stable and replicable – and therefore commodifiable – odours to be produced for the first time. Pre-modern perfumery had been a cottage industry, producing fragrances that were usually mimetic of the substances they were distilled from – rosewater, or orange blossom, or heliotrope. But with modernity, perfume began to aspire to the condition of art. Scents were given names that were evocative rather than straightforwardly descriptive. Chanel No. 5, released in 1922, was marketed as the first 'abstract scent': a mass-produced odour that smelled of nothing but itself, and would smell the same whether you bought it in a department store in London, Paris or New York.
It was arguably only because of these conceptual and technological shifts that artists began to incorporate actual – rather than depicted or symbolic – smells into their work. For the International Surrealist Exhibition of 1938, Marcel Duchamp set up a brazier to roast coffee beans behind a screen, filling the galleries with the 'smell of Brazil'. The idea of a sensory Gesamtkunstwerk that would involve smell along with the other senses was popular with the Futurists, too. Many of F.T. Marinetti's playful recipes for The Futurist Cookbook (1932) paid particular attention to olfactory experience: one recipe, for a dish called 'the excited pig', instructed the cook to boil a whole salami in espresso before dousing it in eau de cologne.
The artist to recognise most fully both the ephemeral power of scent – and its artistic potential – was Andy Warhol. Perfume bottles featured heavily in his early still lifes, such as Blue Cat and Perfume Bottle (1954) and Perfume Bottles and Lipstick (c. 1962), and in his autobiographical manifesto The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (1975), he described perfume as a 'way to take up more space'. But it was also a way to move through time: 'I switch perfumes all the time,' he wrote: 'If I've been wearing one perfume for three months, I force myself to give it up, even if I still feel like wearing it, so whenever I smell it again it will always remind me of those three months. I never go back to wearing it again; it becomes part of my permanent smell collection.'

At his death Warhol left a 'Permanent Smell Collection' of hundreds of scents, each evoking a specific period and place in his life. Many were heady, mid-century perfumes: Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet eau de toilette, Carven's Ma Griffe and Paris by Yves Saint Laurent. These were mass-produced scents, but in wearing them, Warhol imbued them with human emotions and new meanings. In a sense, he made them into art. At his funeral, a mourner threw a bottle of Estée Lauder's Beautiful into his grave.
Can scent form the basis of an artwork? Can there be an aesthetics of smell? Warhol certainly believed so, and it's striking that for him scent possessed many of the properties we often associate with art: that it can transport us through time and memory, assault our senses, seduce us, move us. Even if we cannot truly recover the olfactory world of the art of the past (the long-dispersed odours of Ruisdael's bleaching grounds or De Hooch's canal), perhaps we might encounter paintings differently if we learned to follow our noses – to think with them, rather than against them, and to weigh their testimony against the evidence of our eyes.
The Mauritshuis reopens on 5 June; 'Fleeting – Scents of Colour' has been extended until 29 August. Fragrance boxes to augment virtual visits can be ordered from the museum's website.

As Mom an I enter Dad's room, a physical therapist is getting him into his wheelchair.
"I need you to sit up and swing your legs to the edge of the bed. No, don't grab onto me and pull. I'll push your back some if you need it."
I can see the method being used that was discussed last week in the three-month review: to emphasize those movements and modalities needed to live in a wheelchair.
"On which side of the bed do you want your wheelchair, the head or the foot?"
"It doesn't matter," Dad responds. The head-side is chosen by the therapist, who is a middle-age man, stocky and strong.
"Now scoot more to the middle of the bed. That's it. More. Now scoot more out toward me to the edge of the bed."
Dad follows the instructions. I can see how thin his legs are, but he does the job and takes satisfaction in doing it.
"I'm going to put this safety strap around your waist before we move to the wheelchair."
The therapist removes the four-inch nylon strap from around his waist and secures it to Dad, creating a strong gripping point for himself. Making sure Dad's feet are correctly positioned, the therapist reviews for Dad the procedure: Dad will stand and swing himself over to the chair and then sit.
With a pull to help Dad stand, the transfer begins, ending with Dad sitting down on the narrow end of the wheelchair's arm, his swing to the chair too short.
"Stand again, and we'll swing you on down into the seat," and Dad slips down into the chair's seat. "Are you OK? That arm is pretty narrow." Dad affirms he's OK, but his frame is so emaciated, I wonder. I suppose his continence pad acts as a buffer.
"I want to see how well you can move your wheelchair. Let's move out into the hall. You can use either your feet or your hands."
Dad uses mostly his hands and arms, lifting his feet. We move toward the inner courtyard. The therapist leaves us at the door. It's a wonderful spring mid-morning, no wind, plenty of sunshine, and flowers blossoming and green grass.
We sit in the sunshine. I return to Dad's room to get his baseball cap. I'm asked to sign a form at the nurses' station saying that Dad's bed has been placed with one side against the wall to lessen the chance of his falling.
"Ahh, the sun soaks right through you," Dad says as I grab chairs for Mom and me. I snap a few photos. Then an aide snaps a few that include me. The bright light bothers Mom, so we move to the edge of the shelter so that Mom and I can sit in the shade and Dad can sit in sunlight.
We talk. Mostly I talk, actually, and Dad responds with nods and short comments. I move him a little into the shade and then a bit more into the sunlight a little later. Dad scratches at his back and shoulders. Mom listens and interacts as best she can with her deafness.
"Everything's itching. The sun's getting everything moving."
"Do you want to be more in the shade?"
"No, the sun feels good." Dad smiles a small, satisfied smile, one that never leaves his face.
He drifts some into a sleepy haze of warmth and comfort. I keep talking to focus his attention and keep him awake. He asks the usual questions: where is Mom living, how is the car doing, how much money is in the bank. I talk about how my brother and I have painted the mobile home, how the roses are blossoming, and how my brother has not come this time because he is painting the six-foot decorative metal windmill that Dad erected in the front yard years ago: yellow and green, Iowa colors. Dad had bought the windmill on a trip to visit me in Iowa years ago. I can tell as I explain that he does not remember.
We have a long stay, an hour and a half. Dad does not want a drink of water. He is a little tired, so I push him when we go back into the facility. Of the four doors into the building, Dad knows one connects to the physical therapy room but has the particular door wrong. When we enter the doorway closest to his room, Dad says, "This is where I eat." He has trouble keeping his feet up as I push him along. The therapists remove the foot platforms on the wheelchairs to encourage more mobility. I move slowly because Dad's feet keep dropping to the floor where they can then pinch under the chair.
We don't return all the way to Dad's room. It is noon and soon lunchtime, so the head of the nurse's station backs Dad against the wall. "You can watch us work here for a bit and make sure we're doing everything OK," she jokes, moving up closely to Dad as she speaks.
Mom and Dad kiss and tell one another their love. Some sadness always is included in the parting, but there are no tears, is no anger. We leave. Mom has talked some. Dad has talked some. I have gladly done my song and dance, entertaining and reporting.
I wonder how it works when I am gone and my brother is in my place--I the English teacher and my brother the carpenter and construction worker, especially since my dad's dementia tends to slide toward negativity with my brother. I suppose they get by. I know I've told my brother to just keep his distance if necessary. When he and I have come together, my brother brings roses to the staff. It's a good strategy, I think.
Today has been pretty much a perfect visit. Dad's frailty is evident, yet it is also evident that the professional care is keeping him safe and as engaged as Dad is capable. I saw on the wall that a patients' family survey assigned the facility two stars out of five for its work. I think that's rather low from what I've seen. Most of Dad's quality of life is determined, as far as I can see, by the self-imposed boundaries of his mental and physical frailty. Certainly having someone--or several support staff--with Dad twenty-four hours a day would be preferable to keep him stimulated, but such an arrangement is possible only for the most affluent.
My feeling that two stars rather than three--I think the facility is doing and OK job--in part is determined by the grieving of families involved. We would all like the situation to be better, something more than "brutal," as Dad put it. We structure our own world, and Dad has spent a life often judging relationships as being a glass half empty. He can't help himself now.
In our weakness, our frailties and challenges become more evident and significant. It is for us, the stronger, to understand, to adapt, to cope. I give myself the freedom to grieve, the freedom to sometimes feel human anger, the freedom to feel glad that I am still healthy. Somebody's got to be the functioning adult. Thank God I've still got it in me. I intend to use it till the cows come home.

Indigenous Aircraft Carrier to be commissioned by next year end: Vice Admiral
A representational photo
KOCHI (PTI): The Indigenous Aircraft Carrier (IAC), which has entered final phase of its construction at Cochin Shipyard Limited here, will be commissioned by next year end or by early 2022, Vice Admiral Anil Kumar Chawla, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Southern Naval Command, has said.
"By the end of next year (2021) or maybe by early 2022 she will be definitely commissioned," the Vice Admiral told a press conference here on Wednesday.
Addressing the media onboard INS Shardul at Naval Base, he said sea trials of the IAC are planned in the first half of next year, while improved flight operations on the aircraft carrier are expected to be carried out in the second half.
Basin Trials (testing of the ship machinery and equipment in floating conditions before the sea trials) of the aircraft carrier were successfully conducted at CSL on Monday.
The Navy has said the IAC project is a true example of Atmanirbhar Bharat with close to 75 per cent of the material and equipment onboard being indigenous.

Here's what to do if you're not one of them.
Most Americans aren't better off financially today than they were two years ago, according to new data from Bankrate. Despite the fact that unemployment levels are at a low, tax reform is in full swing, and the stock market, though on rocky ground this month, has seen some sizable gains over the past couple of years, just 38% of Americans feel their finances have improved since 2016. Meanwhile, 17% say they're worse off financially, while 45% feel they're doing about the same.
Not surprisingly, higher earners have the most positive news to report. A good 54% of Americans earning more than $75,000 think they're better off today than they were two years ago, but among folks earning less than $30,000, that percentage drops to 21%. If you're one of those people who's been at a standstill over the past couple of years, there are some things you can do to improve your finances -- even if you're not a particularly high earner.
It's estimated that 58% of U.S. adults have less than $1,000 in savings. And that's a frightening prospect, since we're all advised to have a minimum of three months' worth of living expenses tucked away in the bank. Saving more money will not only bring you closer to that important goal but also give you the peace of mind that comes with knowing you're covered should an unplanned bill land in your lap.
If your finances aren't where you want them to be, an instant income boost might do the trick. And that's why it pays to work a side hustle, even if just for a few hours each week. Of the 44 million Americans who hold down a second job, 36% bring home more than $500 a month extra as a result. Having that additional money is a good way to not only boost your savings but buy yourself more financial flexibility in life.
Asking for a raise means putting yourself out there and subjecting yourself to a potentially uncomfortable conversation with your boss. But that's no reason to stay quiet if you feel you're underpaid. With the economy being in such a strong state, you should feel more confident than ever going after a salary you're worth, and as long as you do your research to determine what that number is, you shouldn't hesitate to ask for it if your current earnings are falling short. Incidentally, only 37% of workers say they've stepped up to ask for a raise, according to data from PayScale, but of those who do broach the topic, 70% succeed in snagging a boost. Therefore, it pays to, at the very least, have that conversation and see where it leads.
The past couple of years have been strong for the stock market, and while October has been overwhelmingly volatile, that's no reason to stay away. If anything, now's a good opportunity to buy some quality stocks on sale so that when things settle down and the market picks back up, which it's statistically likely to do, you have the potential to realize some nice gains. That said, don't expect to dump some money into stocks and cash out a few months later. The best way to profit from stocks is to invest in strong companies and hold onto those stocks for as long as you can -- ideally, 7 to 10 years or more.
If your financial picture hasn't changed much in the past couple of years, it's time to take steps to improve your outlook. It's a better bet than sitting back, doing nothing, and waiting for some sort of magic to happen.

What other costs do pools/teams/clubs incur other than design, engineering, and structure?
Pool heater if needed. We can provide air heaters but not water heaters. Lighting, foundations, gas lines, and ventilation are not included in the services we provide. We have suggestions and contacts for these services. Permitting for temporary covers is also needed. We can also help with that process.
What would the estimated monthly heating cost be?
Function inside of the structure will dictate the cost as well as the local cost of fuel.
What is the timeline for initial erection?
Engineering – about 4 weeks. Structure manufacturing – 6-10 weeks (based on engineering reports). Shipping – 1 week or less. Installation – 2-4 days depending on size. During manufacturing, you will need to have a local contractor installing the footings and lining up the electrical and gas as well as pool heater installation if needed.
What are foundations? Do I need them? How big are they?
Concrete foundations can be continuous or just at the baseplate locations.
Foundations are required to properly secure the architectural membrane structure and be code compliant.
Size of foundation required varies based on location, city/county code requirements and size of structure (dictated by the engineer).
Whether the structure is Temporary, Semi-Permanent, or Permanent also affects this.
A local licensed contractor. We can provide them with typical foundation drawings. We can also provide stamped engineered foundation drawings for an additional fee.
We offer turnkey lighting packages.
How does the structure withstand inclement weather, such as heavy wind and/or snow?
Through our design process, local building codes dictate what we have to engineer the structure to for required load capacities (wind/snow). All structures are designed and engineered to meet or exceed the current International Building Code (IBC) with local overwrites.
How does HVAC work during the fall/winter/spring?
We can do ventilation. If you want dehumidification, we recommend Desert Aire.
Do you do the permitting?
We do provide engineering documentation to assist you through the process.
What additional items would you recommend?
Pool blankets are a very critical item that you will need to get into your budget. They can save your over 50% of the heating costs associated with covering your pool if used properly.
