Poorly written server-side code and a badly designed database will make any application run slower, but improving the performance of a slow running web application requires examination of the entire system, not just the database. A typical three-tier web application structure is shown in Figure 1.
Step 1. Code and operations are executed on the client machine. When a user clicks a Submit button, data is collected and bundled into a request that is sent to the application server.
Step 2. The client request is transmitted to the application server.
Step 3. Code in the application server is executed as a formulation of the client request to retrieve information from the database.
Step 4. The client request is transmitted from the application server to the database.
Step 5. The database receives and processes the information and prepares it for return to the application server.
Step 6. Information is transmitted over an internal network from the database to the application server.
Step 7. The application server processes the database response and prepares the response transmission to the client machine.
Step 8. Data is transmitted from the application server to the client machine.
Step 9. The client machine processes the returned request and renders the application page in the browser.
There is a temptation to focus tuning efforts on the database only, by looking at parameters, SQL queries, and PL/SQL code. However, tuning solely in the database only helps with Step 5 and ignores all of the other places where performance can degrade. This section describes how problems can occur at each step in the process.
The formulation of a request in the client machine is usually the least likely source of system performance problems. However, it should not be dismissed entirely. In many commonly used modern system architectures, it is possible to place so much code in the client machine that a significant amount of time is required before the request is transmitted to the application server. This is particularly true for underpowered client machines with inadequate memory and slow processors.
As is true for the client machine itself, the transmission between the client machine and the application server is a less common cause of slowly performing web applications. However, if the client machine is attempting to transmit a large amount of information, the time required to do so over the Internet may increase. For example, uploading large files (such as images) or transmitting a large block of data may slow down performance.
The application server itself rarely causes significant performance degradation. For computationally intensive applications such as large matrix inversions for linear programming problems, some performance slowdowns can occur, but this is less likely to be a significant factor in poorly performing applications.
Transmission of data from the application server to the database with 1 Gbps or better transmission speeds might lead you to ignore this step in the process. It is not the time needed to move data from the application server to the database that is the primary issue; rather, it is the time required to switch contexts from the application server to the database that is significant. As a result, a large number of requests between the application server and the database can easily add up to a significant source of performance degradation.
The trend in current web development is to make applications database-agnostic. This sometimes results in a single request from a client machine requiring many requests from the application server to the database in order to be fulfilled. What needs to be examined and measured is the number of round-trips made from the application server to the database.
Inexpert developers may create routines that execute so many round-trips that there is little tuning that a DBA can do to yield reasonable performance results. It is not unusual for a single request from the client machine to generate hundreds (if not thousands) of round-trips from the application server to the database before the transmission is complete. A particularly bad example of this problem required 60,000 round-trips. Why would this large number be needed? Java developers who think of the database as nothing more than a place to store persistent copies of their classes use Getters and Setters to retrieve and/or update individual attributes of objects. This type of development can generate a round-trip for every attribute of every object in the database. This means that inserting a row into a table with 100 columns results in a single INSERT followed by 99 UPDATE statements. Retrieving this record from the database then requires 100 independent queries.
In the application server, identifying performance problems involves counting the number of transmissions made. The accumulation of time spent making round-trips is one of the most common places where web application performance can suffer.
Another major cause of performance problems can occur in the network firewalls where the application server and the client are in different zones with packet inspection in between. For normal applications, these activities may not be significant, but for large, data-transfer-oriented applications, this activity could cause a serious lag. One such example could be a document management system where entire documents are loaded from client machines to the application server.
In the database itself, it is important to look for the same things that cause client/server applications to run slowly. However, additional web application features can cause other performance problems in the database.
Most web applications are stateless, meaning that each client request is independent. This leads to the loss of already gathered session-level information accumulated in global temporary tables and package variables. Consequently, when a user logs in to an application, the user will be making multiple requests within the context of the sign-on operation (logical session) to restore information that was already gathered by previous requests.
The information pertaining to the logical session must be retrieved at the beginning of every request and persistently stored at the end of every request. Depending on how this persistence is handled in the database, a single table may generate massive I/O demands, resulting in redo logs full of information, which may cause contention on tables where session information is stored.
Transferring information from the database back to the application server (similar to Step 4) is usually not problematic from a performance standpoint. However, performance can suffer when a Java program requests the entire contents of the table instead of a single row. If the entire contents of a database table with a large number of rows are brought into the middle tier and then filtered to find the appropriate record, performance will be inadequate. During development (with a small test database), the application may even work well as long as data volumes are small. In production (with larger data volumes), the amount of information transferred to the application server becomes too large and everything slows down.
Processing the data from the database can be resource-intensive. Many database-agnostic Java programmers minimize work done in the database and execute much of the application logic in the middle tier. In general, complex data manipulation can be handled much more efficiently with database code. Java programmers should minimize information returned to the application server and, where convenient, use the database to handle computations.
This area is one of the most important for addressing performance problems but often receives the least attention. Industry standards often assume that everyone has access to high-speed networks so that the amount of data transmitted from the application server to the client is irrelevant. Applications with a very rich user interface (UI) create more and more bloated screens of 1MB or more. Some available partial-page refresh capabilities mitigate this problem somewhat by reducing the amount of information that needs to be transmitted when only part of the screen is being refreshed.
Transmission between the application server and the client machine is one of the most frequent causes of poor web application performance. If a web page takes 30 seconds to load, even if it is prepared in 5 seconds rather than 10 seconds, users will not experience much of a benefit. The amount of information being sent must be decreased.
How much work does the client machine need to do to render a web application page? This area is usually not a performance killer, but it can contribute to poor performance. Very processing-intensive page rendering can result in poor application performance, especially on under equipped client machines.

Air-eating bacteria found in Antarctica
The discovery of bacteria that can live on trace gases in the atmosphere changes the possibilities for extraterrestrial life.
Adams Flat, one of the desolate stretches of Antarctic ground where the bacteria samples were taken.
Phil O'Brien
Scientists have found bacteria in the frozen wastes of Antarctica that can survive on air alone without the sunlight or geothermal energy that powers all other known ecosystems. The discovery may change our ideas when pondering the forms extra-terrestrial life might take.
A team of scientists led by Belinda Ferrari of UNSW in Sydney, Australia, report the stunning finding in a paper in Nature.
The cold and remote Antarctic has desert regions that are hostile to the few living things that survive on the rest of the continent. Plummeting temperatures, limited water, carbon and nitrogen, months of darkness, searing UV radiation, and persistent cycles of freezing and thawing that can rot the very stones, all make it an unlikely home for diverse ecosystems.
Yet that's exactly what the researchers found in the thin desert soils, at least at the microbial level. This posed something of a puzzle: how do these diverse communities of single-celled organisms survive in such extreme conditions?
When conditions are at their worst, many organisms retreat into a dormant state, but they too need energy to maintain themselves. It has been unclear, until now, just how they have done this.
Ferrari and her team used the techniques of metagenomics, the study of genetic material taken directly from the environment, to investigate microbial communities at two eastern Antarctic sites: one near Casey Station in Wilkes Land and the other a few hundred kilometres from Davis Station in Princess Elizabeth Land.
Soil samples were taken, and any genetic material broken into smaller pieces and then sequenced, a technique known as 'shotgun DNA sequencing'. The fragments are reassembled into the genomes of individual species, giving a picture of the types and abundance of microbes present in the soil. Interestingly, in the course of their research, Ferrari and her team identified two new phyla of bacteria that were previously unknown to science.
Every ecosystem is based on what are known as 'primary producers': living things that turn inorganic chemicals and energy into living matter, or biomass. Most of the time this involves photosynthesis, using sunlight to convert atmospheric carbon into sugar.
What Ferrari and her team discovered is that this was not the case at their Antarctic sites. Instead, they found through genetic clues about the metabolisms of the microbes, including the two newly discovered phyla, that they produce energy directly from atmospheric hydrogen, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
"Whereas most ecosystems are driven by solar or geologically driven energy," write the authors, "primary production in these Antarctic desert surface soils appear to be supported by atmospheric trace gases."
This is the first time air-eating life on Earth has ever been reported. In addition to enhancing our understanding of how life survives the extreme conditions of Antarctica, Ferrari says, it also "opens up the possibility of atmospheric gases supporting life on other planets".

Il caso Silone è un libro in forma di saggio e inchiesta storica di Giuseppe Tamburrano, (con appendice di Gianna Granati), pubblicato nel 2006 da Utet.

Soggetto
L'autore torna a distanza di cinque anni dalla pubblicazione del suo Processo a Silone, sul caso dello scrittore abruzzese, accusato, ingiustamente a suo dire, di essere stato una spia al soldo della polizia politica fascista. La rivelazione, compiuta sulla base di ricerche d'archivio, da parte dei due ricercatori Dario Biocca e Mauro Canali, suscitò enorme clamore e avviò un dibattito molto acceso.

Il saggio analizza le motivazioni per cui molti giornali si sono accaniti contro Silone, sostenendo che forse il vero "caso" è da ricercarsi proprio in questo interrogativo, piuttosto che sul fatto in sé, cercando di capire criticamente i motivi per cui i mass-media hanno confezionato le notizie in modo arbitrario formando così i giudizi del pubblico sulla vicenda.

Greg Hansen's top 20 sports figures of 2020
Dr. Stephen Paul orchestrated Arizona's return-to-play policies once the Pac-12 announced plans to start college football and basketball this fall.
Kelly Presnell / Arizona Daily Star
From Adia Barnes to Alyssa Brown, here's a look at 20 (or so) of Southern Arizona's top sports figures from a pandemic-ravaged 2020:
1 Adia Barnes. In her fifth season coaching Arizona's women's basketball team, Barnes has the undefeated Wildcats ranked No. 6 nationally.
2 Dr. Stephen Paul. Arizona athletic director Dave Heeke refers to Paul as the "head of our Incident Command Team." Some call him "Arizona's Dr. Fauci." The Director of Athletic Medicine at Arizona, a former soccer player and coach, has been the force behind the athletic department's daily attempt to train, practice and play sports safely. "Every day I wake up it feels like we're dealing with a moving target," said Paul, who has long served as a professor and physician at the UA's Health Sciences Center.
3 Aari McDonald. The Pac-12's leading scorer in back-to-back seasons, McDonald was the 2019-20 Pac-12 defensive player of the year and a first-team preseason All-American. The senior point guard is again leading the Pac-12 in scoring, at 20.1 points per game.
4 Michael Thompson. When the PGA Tour reopened in mid-summer, the former state champion from Rincon/University High won the 3M Open, earning $1.18 million. It was his second victory in his PGA Tour career. Thompson had spent almost two months in quarantine, isolated, after he and his wife, Rachel, adopted a baby girl in Kansas in late March.
5 Jim Reynolds and Ryan Reynolds. It's difficult to imagine a father-son pairing in Tucson having a sports year to match that of the Reynoldses. Jim, the boys basketball coach at Salpointe Catholic, directed the Lancers to a 30-1 record and the first state championship in school history, which dates to the early 1950s. Ryan, the director of operations for the Arizona men's basketball team, has risen to the occasion during a chaotic COVID-19-affected season. Ryan has been proactive and successful at keeping the Wildcats active in spite of four canceled games, three postponed games and two rescheduled games.
6 Abdi Abdirahman. At the 2020 United States Olympic Trials in Atlanta, Abdirahman finished 3rd in a time of 2:10:03, one second behind the runner-up, securing his place on a fifth Olympic team, and, at 43, becoming the oldest American runner ever to make the Olympic track team. The former Arizona All-American, a grad of Tucson High and Pima College, continues to train for the rescheduled 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
7 Randy Cohen. Ever-present on the UA football sideline for 20 years, Cohen, the school's associate athletic director for medical services, stepped up during the COVID-19 pandemic, literally working without a day off during the summer. Cohen would arrive at the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility at sunrise and oversee the day-to-day triage and health evaluation of almost 100 football players.
8 Alex Verdugo. In his first year as a full-time starter, the Boston Red Sox's right fielder and Sahuaro grad hit .306 and finished 12th in balloting for the American League Most Valuable Player.
9 Bijan Robinson. Breaking into the starting lineup for Texas as a true freshman, the Salpointe Catholic career rushing leader led the Longhorns with 520 rushing yards, was fifth in receiving with 13 catches and first in all-purpose offense. He will play in the Alamo Bowl Tuesday against Colorado.
10 April Jessee. After 11 years as Pima College's athletic trainer, Jessee and her staff — including Akira Kondo and Chris Murphy — created a three-step process through with the Aztec sports teams hope to return safely to practice by Jan. 4. Jessee is the head of the ACCAC's Sports Injury Management group for 13 schools.
Pima College's Hallie Lawson marks a teammate while running through drills at a March practice. The Aztecs won the Region I title and finished 25-7 in 2020.
11 Hallie Lawson. As Pima College's women's basketball team won the Region I championship, going 25-7 overall and winning nine of its final 10 games under coach Todd Holthaus, Lawson was named a first-team NJCAA All-American, leading the team with 13.5 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. Unfortunately, PCC's berth in the NJCAA Championship Tournament was canceled.
12 Mike Urbanski. Making history, Urbanski coached both the Salpointe Catholic boys and girls cross country teams to state championships in the fall, the first time a coach had done so in the same season in Tucson history. Urbanski's girls' championship was led by sophomore Kylie Wild, who won the Division III state title, winning all but one of her races over the course of the shortened season.
13 Jesse Ybarra. As Sunnyside wrestling coach Anthony Leon piloted the Blue Devils to a third consecutive state championship, Ybarra became one of the leading wrestlers in the long history of Sunnyside wrestling success, finishing 36-0 and winning the 126-pound title. He joined fellow Blue Devil state champs Jaime Rivera, James Williams-Armstrong, Fernando Villascusa and Sebastian Robles.
14 Jessie Harper. Through 25 games of the college softball season, Harper — a first-team All-American — led the Pac-12 with 10 home runs and 29 RBIs. Mike Candrea's Wildcats were ranked No. 4 nationally when the season was shut down in March.
15 John Galas. The FC Tucson coach persevered through the COVID-19 pandemic, coaching his team to a 6-6-4 record, rallying to finish 4-1-3 in the last half of the USL League One season. Galas and the Men in Black had to navigate a tricky schedule that included games in Tennessee, Florida, Virginia, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Texas and Florida, yet never missed a game.
16 Blake Martinez. In his first season as a New York Giants linebacker, the Canyon del Oro grad ranks third in the NFL with 128 tackles. The former Green Bay Packer also has two sacks and an interception.
Salpointe Catholic girls volleyball coach Heather Moore-Martin led the Lancers to a state championship game this fall, upsetting Chandler Seton Catholic in the final.
17 Heather Moore-Martin. Coaching Salpointe Catholic's girls volleyball team to its third state championship since 2016, Moore-Martin directed an upset over favored Scottsdale Notre Dame Prep in the state finals, finishing the season 18-2.
18 Augie Busch. Arizona's third-year swimming coach guided the Wildcats to the No. 2 finish in the Pac-12 men's finals, the first time since 1996 that the California bloc of USC/UCLA/Stanford/Cal did not sweep the top two places in the Pac-12 finals. Busch's star swimmer, Catalina Foothills grad Brooks Fail, won the Pac-12 title at 1,650 yards and was third in the 500 freestyle and 200 butterfly.
19 Bill Leith. Director of the vast Kino summer baseball program, Leith persevered through COVID-19 issues that canceled the American Legion and high school summer baseball programs. Leith was able to safely stage a fall baseball season of about 350 games over eight weeks following mitigation procedures.
20-A Vivian Hou. Climbing to the world's No. 1 ranking among women's amateur golfers in October, the UA freshman finished second and fourth in the school's first two tournaments of 2020. She then returned to her home in Taiwan and won two international amateur championships. Hou plans to come back to the UA next month.
20-B Clancy Shields. Coming off a season in which he was selected the Pac-12 men's tennis coach of the year, Shields coach directed the Wildcats to an 11-3 record and a ranking as high as No. 23 in the country before COVID-19 canceled the season in late March.
20-C Cate Reese. A first-team All-Pac-12 forward as a sophomore, twice the Pac-12 player of the week, Reese has continued her production for the No. 6 Wildcats. She ranks second on the team with 13.5 points per game and first with 7.1 rebounds per game this season.
Sahuaro's Alyssa Brown averaged 31.1 points and 9.7 rebounds for a Cougars team that advanced to the Class 4A state championship game.
Ralph Freso / for the Arizona Daily Star
20-D Alyssa Brown. Sahuaro's skilled power forward averaged 31.1 points and 9.7 rebounds per game as Steve Botkin's Cougars went 28-2, finishing second in the Class 4A state playoffs.

Cheers Andy, I'm not entirely sure I can remember it. The first proper mountain I remember looking up at in awe was Moel Siabod in Snowdonia. I was about 10 at the time and we were headed to Anglesey on holiday and our road atlas (remember those?) included the names of a few mountain peaks. Moel Siabod forever stuck in my mind. Even now, after a long drive from London, it's the sight of Moel Siabod that marks my arrival as it comes into view passing through Betws-y-coed on the A5.
Hello Nigel, I try to reach you this way because I couldn´t find a e-mail.


All three of those parameters considered, the Sixers played pretty well last night. This game was a lot more competitive than I thought it would be, with a scrappy four-quarter effort despite the absences of Joel Embiid and T.J. McConnell, the former who was given a rest and the latter dealing with a shoulder bruise suffered during Wednesday night's win.
The result of their non-availability showed on occasion, with a number of rough turnovers and a visible lack of cohesion between guys who don't spend a ton of minutes on the floor together. There was more demonstrative gesturing and hand-wringing when passes missed teammates but found opponents or the first row of the crowd instead.
That said, the Sixers got 18 points and 10 rebounds from a hard-working Dario Saric and double figures from five other players. They hit 16 of 32 three point attempts but couldn't match the Celtics' 50.6 overall field goal percentage, a number boosted by an 11 for 17 fourth quarter effort for the home team. It was a 3 point game with 9:02 left to play, stretched to 13 on a 14-4 Boston run.
And that was probably the difference. The Celtics made a few more shots when it mattered, getting 36 points from all-star Kyrie Irving. Al Horford added 21 and 8 and the Celtics improved to a league-best 19-4 record.
It's too early for the "Robert Covington hasn't been that great signing his new contract" narrative.
But we can sniff around a bit.
Cov signed that extension two weeks ago today, on November 17th. He scored 20 against the Warriors the very next day and averaged double digits in the wins against Utah, Portland, and Washington. This week, he suffered the death of a childhood friend and had to deal with that while preparing for a home game against the Cavaliers.
So there's a lot going on. New contract, new expectations, plus a difficult development off the court.
We've known that Covington is a streaky shooter, and maybe he's just hitting a dip right now. He went 9 for 36 overall this week (25%) and shot 4-24 from three-point range (16.6%). In the seven games since signing his new deal, he's averaging 11.1 points and 7 rebounds, but only shooting 27-80 overall (33.7%) and 15-55 from behind the arc (36%).
Covington is still shooting over 45% this season and is 42.5% from three, but we'll see if this is just a dip it in form or if his shooting to begin the year was simply unsustainable.
Part of that is typical and cyclical sports knee-jerking, but I think it comes up more in Sixer circles because we're still waiting for somebody to really assert themselves off the bench. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot has shown some flashes. Justin Anderson is injured. Nik Stauskas was injured/benched. Markelle Fultz is out of commission. Jerryd Bayless has provided some contributions.
Last night Brett Brown gave Bayless 32 minutes while TLC got 17 off the bench despite having a better shooting night overall. It felt like that was a bit off-balance.
It's true that there were times when Bayless was asked to handle the ball with McConnell not being available, but with Ben Simmons playing 40 minutes last night, that situation should have been infrequent. To me, Simmons/Redick/Covington/Saric/TLC felt like the better combination vs. Simmons/Redick/Covington/Saric/Bayless.
For what it's worth, I don't have any real issue with Bayless, it's just that he shouldn't be playing 32 minutes a game. That's obviously not the case if McConnell, Fultz, or Anderson is available. I think Bayless it what he is at this point, a veteran guard who can give you some bench minutes until Fultz returns or another wing steps up and justifies more game time.
The officials didn't whistle what looked like an obvious clear path foul there. The explanation given was that Johnson, by picking up his dribble, had started his shooting motion, therefore negating the clear path rule. So the Sixers didn't get to keep possession afterward.
Johnson played 22 minutes and Richaun Holmes spelled him for 20 off the bench.
But whenever Embiid is out, the Jahlil Okafor argument comes up.
Here's what I want to see Sunday night.
Wentz playing solid. Throws 2 tds no ints.
Blount and Ajayi combine for 2tds and 100yds.
The Defense has a statement game. Holds Seattle to under 17 points.
Kevin – one odd thing about this team is that they can go half a quarter with out of control passes and it isn't limited to just one guy. The entire team bunches them together. Probably why they lead the league in turnovers. Then, they will revert. Odd.
Covington will be fine. As you said, he is streaky. Need JJ to pick it up again as well.
As for those who think Brown should be fired? Proof positive that there are plenty of stupid people in this world.
I wasn't terribly disappointed but it could have been very close if Cov and JJ were hitting more 3's.
Revision – JJ actually had a good night from 3. He had trouble with hitting the 2's.
I think JJ is magnified more in that regard because he's such a specialist, right? He was brought here to do one thing specifically, which is knock down shots (and be a veteran, I guess). So I think he gets more schtick because when he's missing shots, he's not totally contributing in other ways, unless you want to look at how he spaces the floor for other guys just by virtue of being a possible threat. That's Brown's thought, for what it's worth.
That's a good point. He kind of coaches on the floor. Spacing can be an issue from time to time. Wonder how Lebron would fit into that?

In spite of the title, the figure in this painting appears to have been originally intended as a man. The male genitalia were covered over with a thin layer of paint. Unusually, the figure was cut from another canvas and pasted onto this one, on which the background was painted. Male nudes appeared in many of Bacon's paintings. He may have accepted the misidentification of this figure as a way of disguising its implicitly homoerotic imagery at a time when homosexuality was illegal.

A dry crusty layer of paint ineffectively masks the male genitalia of the figure in this painting which has, nevertheless, consistently been titled Reclining Woman. Curiously neither this discrepancy nor its consequences have been discussed in any depth, although David Sylvester - who sought to identify the figure as the artist's - has asserted that 'the body is androgynous, whether it has a penis or not'.[1] While inspection reveals the identity, it is reinforced when the painting is compared to two closely related but earlier works in which Bacon used the same unusual pose and a similar setting. Of these, Lying Figure no.1, 1959 (Leicester Museums and Art Gallery)[2] and Reclining Figure, 1959 (private collection)[3] are also clearly male, but in Lying Figure no.2, 1959 (private collection)[4] the sexual identity remains indeterminate. In the latter, the background is more reduced to horizontal bands than it is in the Tate's painting (where a sofa is implied), whereas in the other paintings the figure is shown on a bed apparently resting its raised leg against the wall.
The two Lying Figure paintings were exhibited in early 1960,[5] and Alley notes that the second of these was painted during the artist's period of preparation in St Ives (September 1959 - January 1960).[6] This concentration of effort reflected the fact that it was Bacon's first show at the Marlborough Gallery, which he joined in October 1958;[7] they paid off his huge gambling debts, which he believed Erica Brausen and the Hanover Gallery would be unable to support, and in return required larger and more regular exhibitions.[8] The demand created by his debut there may have encouraged the production of Reclining Woman during the following year. According to Alley it was photographed on 27 February 1961;[9] it was acquired by the Tate in November and the artist confirmed that it had been painted that year.[10]
There are evident differences between Reclining Woman and the associated canvases of 1959. The working of the figure is dense and less fluent. It also betrays signs of uncertainty, most remarkably in the fact that it has been cut from another canvas and pasted onto its present support on which the background was painted. This drastic process - which was not unprecedented[11] - suggests that the artist reached a point of resolution in the body which was irretrievably spoiled by the original setting. He used the opportunity to change the right arm, which appears to have been first folded back to the chest but of which the outstretched portion was later achieved in the cutting of the canvas rather than in the paint. The contrast between surfaces presented an additional problem which Bacon met by exaggeration: the painting of the figure is a dense accumulation of colour while the setting is flat and thinly worked, and the two are clearly separated by an outline added on the new canvas to follow the cut edge. The passage of hair across this cut shows that further adjustment to the figure was made once the transfer had been completed. In this disjuncture, the artist seems deliberately to confront the lack of coherence between figure and ground for which David Sylvester believed he was seeking a solution at this time,[12] and which may respond to Clement Greenberg's contemporary theories about the integrity of the picture plane.[13] In Reclining Woman, the result is an unusual pose, comparable to Rodin's drawings of nudes, set against a background oddly reminiscent of Rothko's contemporary colour field paintings. It is notable that a related pose (but with both legs bent back) and similarly Rothkoesque background were used in two watercolours, both entitled Reclining Figure (Tate Gallery T07353 & T07354), which Fabrice Hergott and Hervé Vanel[14] have been related to Lying Figure with Hypodermic Syringe, 1963 (private collection).[15]
The density of Bacon's painterly technique allowed him to disguise imagery which was implicitly homoerotic. The ubiquity of the tradition of the female nude partially explains the mistaken identification of Reclining Woman, but the artist may have taken advantage of this ambiguity at a time when homosexuality remained illegal. Although he did paint female nudes, notably those derived from photographs of Henrietta Moraes, Bacon's work was dominated by the male presence. In very few of his contemporary paintings was it signalled as sexually provocative: the frontal nude Seated Figure on a Couch, 1959 (private collection)[16] is passive, while the struggling couple in Two Figures in a Room, 1959 (private collection)[17] are of indeterminate sex. Even in Two Figures, 1953 (private collection)[18] and Two Figures in the Grass, 1954 (private collection)[19] the wrestlers derived from Muybridge's photographs were sufficiently veiled to disguise their sexual activity. Bacon's works, nevertheless, continued to carry signs for the initiated; thus, while the recumbent and exposed pose in the Tate's painting has been seen as passively female, it carries a homoerotic nuance indicated by the suggestively phallic extension of the leg. Significantly, while taking it for an image of a woman, Ernst van Alphen has read the posture in the painting as 'the embodiment of sexual desire' and the single eye as fixing a confrontation with the viewer which counteracts the tradition of nude and voyeur in western art.[20]

Tour of Turkey 2016 – Stage 2 [LAST 2 KM]
Tour of Turkey 2016 – Aksaray – Konya – 158,9 km
The 2016 Presidential Tour of Turkey is a road cycling stage race that will take place in Turkey between 24 April and 1 May 2016.
The 2016 Presidential Tour of Turkey is a road cycling stage race that will take place in Turkey between 24 April and 1 May 2016. It is the 52nd edition of the Presidential Tour of Turkey and is rated as a 2.HC event as part of the 2016 UCI Europe Tour. The race includes eight stages; seven of these are moderately hilly, while Stage 6 ends with a summit finish at Elmalı. The defending champion is Lampre–Merida's Kristijan Đurasek.
The Caja Rural-RGA team made the Cappadocia stage a decisive one as they catapulted Pello Bilbao to a brilliant victory in Uçhisar in the heart of the astonishing natural beauty of the central Anatolia, but stage 1 winner Przemyslaw Niemiec of Lampre-Merida defended his lead to retain the turquoise jersey by a mere six seconds in the absence of time bonuses in the 52nd Presidential Tour of Turkey.
Having done the Vuelta al Pais Vasco at WorldTour level and ridden so well at the Vuelta Castilla y Leon, where only Alejandro [Valverde] and Movistar could beat us, we knew we were coming to Turkey with the possibility to perform," Bilbao said. "We can even aim higher [than two stage wins by himself and Lluis Mas]. It was a great opportunity for me today and the way we rode as a team with six of us in the 15-man front group, even though it wasn't a pre-race strategy to do that, the stage winner could have been David Arroyo or another team-mate."
Bilbao was – and remains – one of the hot favorites for this year's TUR. He missed out on GC last year after suffering a puncture at the worst moment in the crosswinds with 50km to go into the queen stage to Elmali. "That day, I said goodbye to the overall," he sadly remembered, but Turkey caught his heart.
"I first came on holiday to Istanbul three years ago but this is my first time in Cappadocia," he said. "During the first two laps today I could have a look at the landscape and see what an excellent place it is. It's so different from the other parts of the world we get the chance to explore while racing."
The 18 knots wind in Cappadocia offered the big teams an opportunity for creating echelons, but CCC Sprandi Polkowice was more worried about the condition of their captain Davide Rebellin, who was injured in a crash early in stage 1 while Lampre-Merida was busy defending the lead of Niemiec. Motivated teams like Caja Rural-RGA were in the unknown of how hard the climb of Göreme was. Therefore, three riders escaped from the gun: Nicolas Baldo (Roth), Eduard Michael Grosu (Nippo-Vini Fantini) and Eugert Zhupa (Southeast), who just returned to racing after breaking a collarbone at the Three Days of De Panne one month ago.
The trio got a maximum lead of 4:20 after 60km of racing. "That wasn't too difficult to control," Niemiec admitted. Lampre-Merida took the responsibility of the pace of the peloton until continental teams showed some great determination with 60km to go, successively Torku, Unieuro and Astana City. It was all together again 45km before the conclusion of the stage.
Caja Rural-RGA put the hammer down with 40km to go. They created a front group of 15 riders: Ilia Koshevoy and Niemiec (Lampre-Merida), Bilbao, José Gonçalves, Ricardo Vilela, Jaime Roson, David Arroyo, Lluis Mas (Caja Rural-RGA), Sylvester Szmyd (CCC Sprandi Polkowice), Rémy Di Gregorio and Quentin Pacher (Delko Marseille), Nikita Stalnov (Astana City), Ahmet Örken (Torku), Giovanni Carboni and Mauro Finetto (Unieuro). The Spanish squad rode hard enough to leave a seven man group with Rebellin and Adam Hansen (Lotto-Soudal) one minute behind with 20km to go.
"In the final ascent, we got Ricardo Vilela to attack to make the leader's life difficult and that led to a counter attack by Pello Bilbao [with 2.5km to go]," beauties of Turkey leader Mas explained. "It's perfect because out of the six of us in the front group, our GC rider eventually wins the stage."
"It's always good to make the podium even though it would have been better to win but after all the work they've done, Caja Rural deserved to win. They have made the decision," commented third placed Finetto, who also remained in contention for the overall victory.
"It's been a hard day but I managed to reach my goal of keeping the lead," Niemiec said. "I owe a beer to Ilia Koshevoy who helped me tremendously. This is my first time holding a leader's jersey in a stage race since the Route du Sud I won in France in 2009 but it won't be easy to stay on top of the classification against a team like Caja Rural."
