Jeremy Johnson, an assistant professor of art and art history at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, is hosting the second annual workshop at UNO aimed at bringing art to the blind and visually impaired.
The second rendition of these workshops is titled Sensory: Please Touch the Art 2.0, following in the footsteps of last year's Sensory: Please Touch the Art. The workshops take on the challenges of teaching artistic technique to the visually impaired and highlight on the unique perspective.
Johnson said that this year's workshops have kept similar themes from last year's workshops but have evolved into something new. With more experience teaching these unique workshops, Johnson has branched out into more artistic territories and mediums.
The four workshops composing Sensory: Please Touch the Art 2.0 each touch on different art forms.The first workshop hosted on Aug. 19 was focused on clay building. With help from the sculptures and ceramics lab, the workshop was able to have four potter's wheels operating at once.
Johnson said that he has observed several participants having an easier time aligning the clay on a pottery wheel than most sighted students. He believes that emphasis on touching the clay helped create a more accurate depiction of the progress to participants.
The following workshop was hosted on Aug. 26 and was about loom weaving. Each participant created their own weaving during the workshop. Textile Inc., a local business, helped make the loom weaving workshop reality by donating a significant amount of fabric.
Johnson plans on using a couple different methods to make drawing a viable medium for visually impaired artists. One such method includes a form of paper that cracks while someone is writing on it, giving an easily felt impression. Another opportunity bestowed on those attending is the chance to work with 3-D pens, which allow users to draw with depth.
The final workshop will give participants a chance to try their hand at carving. Using alabaster as their material of choice, the workshop members will get to chip away a completely new experience for Johnson.
Despite his personal connection, Johnson makes it very clear that he doesn't want these workshops to be about him, and instead wants attention shifted to the importance of making art accessible to everyone.
The art produced by participants of the workshops will be on dis-play at the Osborne Family Art Gallery early next year. Keeping true to the workshop's theme, the exhibit will strive to be accessible to everyone. This will include audio assistant devices and the option to physically interact with any of the art.

Huffington Post: May's Punishing Brexit Deal Makes Her The Worst Prime Minister Of Our Lifetime
Presiding over the worst deal in history, we now have the worst Prime Minister in my lifetime. That is saying something – I have lived long enough to witness the oleaginous Edward Heath and the demon eyes of Tony Blair. Rarely, however, have I witnessed consistent and repeated lying with conviction.
Having with alacrity fooled us all that "Brexit means Brexit", Theresa May has been proven to be a masterful con artist, seemingly utterly impervious to what is plain to everyone else (at least outside Parliament) that her actions are completely out of sync with her rhetoric.
Theresa May appears to be a stooge of an establishment plot to reverse Brexit. A willing vehicle (probably a BMW) for EU capture and re-entry. After all the proposal put forward by the prime minister keeps us so locked into the EU and so close that re-entry would be easy. The deal is so punishing to the UK that people will be glad to re-enter. It is Michel Barnier's wet dream.
Negotiated by an inveterate Remain civil service, overseen by a Remain PM, supported by a Remain corporate Britain led by the EU-loving and Brussels-funded CBI, itself populated by multinationals, the most vocal of which are German and French owned or run. All of this in cahoots with a German-dominated EU determined to keep Britain under its heel. A concert party of the Europhile establishment, a potpourri of vested interests in opposition to the national interest.
It feels rather like it must have done on 8 May 1940 with the appeaser Chamberlaine and Halifax still hanging out for a capitulation in all but name, while the country felt desperate for a real leader.
What has puzzled me however, is how Mrs May can face the cameras and say she is right and acting in the national interest. Unlike Philip Hammond (and his processor George Osborne) she doesn't strike me as someone angling for lucrative non-exec positions on the boards of the corporates that our Chancellors now appear to serve. Mrs May has a moral compass, she is an advertised church-goer. She is perhaps patrician but unlike Michael Heseltine, who believes democracy is something to be manipulated by the aristos and nothing more, Mrs May purports to be acting for the good of the country.
I have been trying to figure out what makes the Maybot tick and I think my son has solved it. He suggested that it all stems from a combination of May's moral compass and the fact that she is stubborn beyond belief. Because she ponders and studies her subject, like a head girl wishing to please the teacher with her end of term essay, which once completed is proudly set in stone. Mrs May has a messianic belief in her own cause. She believes that what she believes is akin to an act of faith. A crown of thorns.
The last holder of the executive prerogative to have this view and to oppose the will of the people was King Charles I. The last PM to sell our Britain against the will of the people was Neville Chamberlain. One lost his head, the other forever his reputation. Theresa May would do well to ponder on this.

Seven. I did a quick headcount as I sat down. There were seven GPs in the room. The there were GP trainees, the practice nurses, the practice manager, the community diabetes specialist nurse and finally me. It was the regulation biannual visit to one of our local surgeries...Swan Surgery in Petersfield to be precise...as part of our diabetes model of care. And tell you what? A few hours whizzed by.
It was actually fun...and those hours had everything, chat about patients in whom everything else had been tried, discussion about evidence of new drugs, chatter about the condition of pre-diabetes, review of an audit, talk about the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, suitability for an insulin pump, the services available...and you know what? I go back to again the same word...it was actually fun.
There was light-hearted banter amongst all, there was a GP amongst them who worked for the local CCG who took a few jokes on the chin, we joked about who was the busiest...and we did so over lunch...we talked about patients, we talked about improving care, we talked about the next steps...and in case you missed it...yep, it was fun.

Overview: Offered up by the same people who create the quality storytelling on NPR, this free download from the Apple App Store allows people to explore and engage with new music of all genres. As a new music guide, it goes beyond passive listening to encourage engagement and exploration, with content hand-picked by NPR Music tastemakers. Once a genre, program, series or artist is selected users can swipe through multiple choices assessing just enough visual and text information to decide on their interest in a story and select from a group of clear navigation choices: read, listen or add to playlist. Users can listen to streams of entire albums before they're released, read music news and reviews, hear songs of the day and live performances and read blog posts.
• The app includes an artist directory of over 5,000 artists, musicians and composers.
• Users can listen live to concerts in progress and to music streams from more than 75 public radio stations and the "All Songs 24/7" channel, a non-stop stream of every song ever played in ten years of the All Songs Considered show.
• Audio consumption per user is double that of any of NPR's other digital products, including the NPR News iPhone App, the NPR for iPad App and the NPR.org Web site.
Is the audience you were targeting a particularly difficult one to reach? "Most listeners think of music on NPR as just the interludes between segments of a radio show or the classical music on their local station. We wanted to design an experience that would thrill and surprise all music lovers. Users can tap a button, and be in the studio listening to a interview and intimate performance, listening to a new album in full before the release date or attending a live concert with a favorite band—even when they're actually at the gym running on the treadmill."
Did you learn anything new during the process? "Good design communication helps good product design make it past the whiteboard. High-profile projects always benefit when every team member fully understands the proposed interaction and navigation designs early in the project. Early momentum will happen whenever it can be clearly demonstrated how a concept will satisfy real user goals." How do you hope people use your design? "Neighborhood record stores are evaporating. We hope people will turn to our app in the same way they depended on the smart, aware friend who worked at the record store—the guy or the girl who introduced them to their next favorite thing."

El estandarte del monarca británico, denominado en inglés Royal Standard («estandarte real») es, como en el caso de otros monarcas y jefes de Estado, su enseña o bandera personal. Algunos países pertenecientes a la Mancomunidad de Naciones que han mantenido al monarca británico como jefe de Estado han adoptado sus propios estandartes reales.

En el Reino Unido, además del monarca, otros miembros de la familia real poseen estandartes propios que son, salvo en el caso de los consortes, variantes del estandarte real que incorporan unos símbolos heráldicos llamados lambeles. Los lambeles son de tres pies en el caso de los hijos del monarca y de cinco en el caso de los nietos en el momento de la creación de su enseña propia (salvo el heredero del príncipe de Gales que también emplea uno de tres).

Reino Unido

Estandarte real usado en Inglaterra, Gales, Irlanda del Norte y fuera del Reino Unido

El estandarte real que emplea el monarca británico en Inglaterra, Gales, Irlanda del Norte y fuera del país como jefe de Estado del Reino Unido consiste en una bandera dividida en cuatro cuadrantes: En el primer y cuatro cuadrante figuran los elementos del blasón de Inglaterra, tres leones pasantes de oro (amarillos) sobre un fondo de gules (rojo). En el segundo, que representa a Escocia, puede observarse un león rampante de gules dentro de un doble trechor con flores heráldicas, sobre un fondo de oro. En el tercer cuadrante, por Irlanda (del Norte), aparece representada el arpa real de Tara de oro sobre un fondo azur (azul).

Estandarte real usado en Escocia
En Escocia, el monarca británico usa un estandarte compuesto por los mismos elementos del estandarte empleado en Inglaterra, Gales e Irlanda del Norte pero se altera el orden de los cuarteles para dar preferencia al escocés, que aparece de esta forma en el primero y el cuarto.

Australia
El estandarte real usado en Australia recoge los elementos que figuran en el escudo de dicho país, es decir, los blasones de los seis estados que componen la Mancomunidad Australiana: Nueva Gales del Sur, Victoria, Queensland, Australia Meridional, Australia Occidental y Tasmania. Estos blasones están rodeados en el borde exterior por una franja con los colores del armiño heráldico.

Sobre los elementos de los blasones mencionados, en el estandarte real australiano, aparece representada una estrella de siete puntas con un círculo de azur en el que figuran la inicial del monarca reinante, la corona real inglesa (conocida como Corona de San Eduardo) y una guirnalda de oro compuesta de rosas de lo mismo.

Canadá
El estandarte real en Canadá está compuesto por las cinco divisiones que componen el blasón canadiense: En la primera división figuran los elementos del blasón de Inglaterra, tres leones pasantes de oro sobre un fondo de gules. En la segunda, que representa a Escocia, puede observarse un león rampante dentro de una bordura doble con flores de lis, sobre un fondo de oro. En la tercera, por Irlanda del Norte, aparece representada un arpa de oro sobre un fondo azur. En la cuarta, figuran tres flores de lis de oro sobre un fondo de azur, símbolo del antiguo Reino de Francia. En la quinta división, sobre un fondo de plata, figuran tres hojas rojas de arce que es el símbolo propio de Canadá.

Sobre las divisiones del escudo, en el estandarte real canadiense, aparece representado un círculo de color azul en el que figuran la inicial del monarca reinante, la corona real inglesa (conocida como Corona de San Eduardo) y una guirnalda amarilla o dorada compuesta de rosas.

Jamaica
En Jamaica, el estandarte real está compuesto por los elementos del blasón de su escudo nacional: Un fondo de plata con una cruz de gules, la Cruz de San Jorge que fue adoptada de la bandera de Inglaterra. En la cruz aparecen representadas cuatro piñas de oro.

Sobre los elementos que componen el escudo nacional, en el estandarte real jamaicano, aparece representado un círculo de color azul en el que figuran la inicial del monarca reinante, la corona real inglesa (conocida como Corona de San Eduardo) y una guirnalda de oro compuesta de rosas.

Nueva Zelanda
En Nueva Zelanda, el estandarte real está compuesto por los mismos elementos que su escudo nacional. Está dividido en cuatro cuarteles separados por una franja vertical de plata (blanco) que contiene dos barcos de sable (negro). En el primer cuartel, de azur aparece representada, con cuatro estrellas de gules la constelación de la Cruz del Sur; en el segundo cuartel, de gules, figura un vellocino de oro; en el tercero, también de gules, un manojo de trigo de oro; y en el cuarto, de azur, dos martillos cruzados de oro.

En la parte central del estandarte real neozelandés se añaden, a los colores y figuras del escudo nacional, el círculo azul ya mencionado y los elementos que le acompañan.

Otros Estados de la Mancomunidad de Naciones
En aquellos Estados de la Mancomunidad que no tienen al monarca británico como jefe de Estado o, que en caso de serlo, no disponen de un estandarte real propio, se emplea un paño de color azul y forma cuadrada en el que figuran la inicial del monarca reinante, la corona real inglesa (conocida como Corona de San Eduardo) y una guirnalda amarilla o dorada compuesta de rosas.

Históricos

Variantes del estandarte real del Reino Unido

Los miembros de la Casa Real británica que poseen enseñas personales, variantes del estandarte real del Reino Unido, son los siguientes:

Existe una variante del estandarte real que es utilizada por los miembros de la Familia Real a los que no se les ha concedido un estandarte personal.

Variantes usadas por el consorte real

Las reinas consortes reúnen en sus enseñas personales los elementos del estandarte real del Reino Unido con sus armas paternas o familiares.

Los príncipes consortes usan estandartes diferentes. El príncipe Alberto, consorte de la reina Victoria, poseía un estandarte compuesto de los elementos del estandarte real (diferenciados por un lambel) cuartelado con sus armas personales (de Sajonia). El príncipe Felipe de Edimburgo, consorte de la reina Isabel II, poseía un estandarte compuesto únicamente por sus armas personales.

Estandartes del príncipe de Gales
El heredero de la corona posee otros estandartes empleados en  Gales, Escocia y como titular de los ducados de Cornualles y de Rothesay.

Variantes del estandarte real en Escocia
Los hijos del monarca reinante tienen el privilegio de utilizar en Escocia la variante del Estandarte Real usada en este territorio, diferenciada con los mismos elementos que figuran en sus estandartes antes mencionados. El príncipe Guillermo, duque de Cambridge, también cuenta con su propia variante al haber recibido el título escocés de conde de Strathearn.

Variantes del estandarte real en Canadá
Con motivo de la visita oficial que Guillermo y Catalina, duques de Cambridge, efectuaron a Canadá en 2011, las autoridades de aquel país decidieron adoptar, como sucede en el Reino Unido, variantes del estandarte real canadiense destinadas a los miembros de la Familia Real.

Released this spring, Tiny Hands has a seriously impressive ingredients list: argan oil, aloe vera, cocoa and shea butters and oils of marigold and chamomile are all in the mix. It's enormously satisfying to rub the bar between my hands until they're slick with a vanilla-and-wildflower scented oil. Such lavish use means the product takes time to absorb, so I keep it in my bedside drawer, in its yellow paper bag, to apply before I sleep: it works wonders overnight, for soft, smooth hands come morning. In accordance with Lush's green agenda, the solid form eliminates the need for packaging – but, in my case, not the desire for it!
Launched this month, this sublimely scented cream promises to improve the hydration and comfort of your hands for 8 hours after application. The ingredients include nourishing argan oil and oil of evening primrose, and it was a real plus to see this also contains an SPF of 15. It feels almost velvety on the skin, and, thanks to a special mattifying agent, absorbs quickly with absolutely no greasiness. A lot of hand creams make that claim: this one really delivers. Accordingly, the sunny yellow tube is perfect to chuck into the handbag to apply on the move, or to keep on your desk at work. I really think this is a fantastic price for such a high quality product.
Suitable for all skin types, this new cream from The Body Shop harnesses the moisturising power of sweet almond oil, used to nourish skin for centuries, along with Community Fair Trade brazil nut oil. It smells delicious and is easily absorbed, if not quite as quickly as the Roger and Gallet offering. Feels rich and pampering – I keep this one on my living room table and use as part of my regular manicure routine. For dry skins, try the Hemp range, while mature skins will fare better with Wild Rose. All 3 new Body Shop ranges include a nail and cuticle oil, conditioning hand wash and hand and nail butter.
The Body Shop are also running a special offer from now until October 6th, where you can purchase any hand care product and receive a second item for half price, along with a complimentary hand and nail treatment.
Which hand and nail treatments do you really rate?
ooh I've always wanted to try Lush's tiny hands bar!
Thanks guys, great to get some new recommendations there!

NXT in the UK (9/2/21): The Wrath of Teoman
After a pretty strong past couple of weeks, it's time for NXT UK to ease up a little on the big moments—but that doesn't mean the workers don't stop working.
Teoman defeats Nathan Frazer
All eyes are on young Nathan Frazer to see if he can get past Teoman in the first round of the Heritage Cup Championship contender's tournament. Nathan Frazer has always been good, and they're booking him as the great underdog who just keeps getting outclassed, which is totally fine. I feel like this match was also good for Teoman, who I hadn't really been that impressed with since coming to the brand.
It's not that Teoman isn't good or anything; it's more of I had a hard time fully buying into his intense and cruel character because he wasn't really the biggest dude in the ring. It turns out he just needed someone like Nathan Frazer who could really bump and sell for him, and he needed a match like this British Rounds match that could truly emphasize his style.
Teoman winning the final fall via a combination of Rohan Raja's subtle interference and his own cunning was a good call, too. It's the right move to really sell him as someone vicious, especially after a long fight. That new finisher also looks pretty awesome.
The Heritage Cup Championship contender's tournament is shaping up to be a fun outing, and I'm glad to see that I'm a little vindicated in suggesting that the midcard needs another tournament to raise the stakes a little more around here. Between this and Ilja Dragunov's reign, it's gonna be an exciting rest of the year for the red and black brand.
NXT UK 9/2/21 Grade: A-
Jack Starz is really coming out as a solid hand in the midcard. I'd say he can be someone you can bring over to NXT stateside with the right new gimmick. I'd even say that you can give him a makeover and turn him into a real star one day.
Speaking of bringing people over to NXT stateside, I'm predicting that Blair Davenport goes to the US around this time next year. She's that good.

Shalom Auslander - Plauged
Contributed by Sonja Sholklapper
PLAGUED
And the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt. And one chose to stay behind
BY SHALOM AUSLANDER
Come on in here, Seth," called Mr. Omonratop. "We need to talk."
Omonratop was my boss, a middle-aged man of wealth, responsibility, and the insincere yet irresistible charm common to captains of industry, heads of state, and leaders of religions. I was a young craftsman in a large southern Egyptian craftsman company with offices in twenty-two districts around the empire. A glamour field. Only scribes got more pussy. Omonratop drove the latest chariot on the market. This was what he'd had etched on the rear bumper: "Craftsmen do it with anyone they want." And it was true. Money, women, chariots. Bling bling. I was blessed.
He was standing at the window when I entered his office, hands behind his back. He faced the courtyard as he spoke.
"Need some extra hands on the Ramses job," said Omonratop. "The tomb."
A Pharaonic tomb. I was only twenty-five. Nobody under forty ever worked on a Pharaonic tomb.
"Are you serious?" I asked.
Omonratop turned to face me.
"Are you?" he asked.
"You're not leaving?"
He walked toward me, put his hands on my shoulders.
"This is a long-term project, Seth. I need someone who'll be here for the duration."
Goddamned Moses.
"I heard him say he's taking his people with him," said Omonratop.
"I'm not his people, sir."
"You're an Israelite."
"I'm an Egyptian."
Omonratop nodded.
"It's the main burial chamber," he said, putting an arm around my shoulder. "Guy named Ramen's running the show in there, you'll answer to him. Bring your own water, though, it's hot as hell in there by ten in the morning.…"
Nuit came for dinner. My Egyptian princess. My non-Yiddishe Mama. I'd loved her since we were children, running shoeless through our village, and then, once we'd grown older, swimming topless in the Nile. Black hair, light eyes, and golden skin. A laugh like Isis herself, and an ass like a pair of Gizan pyramids.
Mother brought the bread to the table; I brought the corn and news of my promotion.
"You're not going to accept it, are you?" Mother asked.
"A Pharaonic tomb job? No, why would I accept that?"
"But we're leaving," said Mother.
"We're not leaving."
"Leaving to where?" asked Nuit.
"Nowhere. Ma, for God's sake, would you stop worrying Nu?"
"To a Promised Land," said Mother. "With Moses."
Nuit looked to me with concern.
"Fine, Ma, go ahead. Tell Nuit about your Promised Land."
"It's the land the Lord promised us," said Mother. "The Israelites, I mean. The land he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I'm sure you could come along, though. Maybe not. Probably not. Maybe you could come later. I don't know. And it's flowing," she added. "With, you know, milk and honey."
"Uh-huh," I said. "Where is it?"
"Where is what?"
"The Promised Land. Where is it?"
"It's … wherever. Somewhere. God will show us."
"Got maps, does He?"
"I heard something about Canaan," said Mother.
"What's wrong with Canaan?" asked Mother.
"It's a pit."
Mother gasped.
"How can you say that?"
"Because I've seen it, Ma, the summer I worked in the quarries. They sent us down there to get rocks. That's all it is. It's a pile of rocks. You're going to trade Thebes for that?"
"You know what you are?" asked Mother as she took her plate and headed out the door. "You're a self-hating Israelite."
"I'm a self-loving Egyptian," I called after her.
Nuit stared down at her food.
"I'm not leaving," I said.
She nodded.
Later that night, there was a knock on the door. Nuit and I went to answer it. It was our old friend Khatum. There was blood on his hands.
"What happened?" Nuit asked.
Khatum shrugged, looking at his hands as though they weren't his own.
"I was just washing up," he said.
I brought Khatum a bowl and some water so he could clean himself off. The moment his hands touched the water, the water turned to blood.
Nuit gasped.
"How'd you do that?" I asked.
Khatum shrugged and handed me the bowl. The moment I took it from him, the blood turned back to water.
"How'd you do that?" Khatum asked.
"By this you will know that I am the Lord," Mother said.
She stood in the doorway to her bedroom, hair wild, doing her very best Moses: one hand on the doorpost, one hand raised in the air. "With the staff that is in my hand," she declared, "I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will be changed into blood."
"Ma," I said.
"It's a miracle," said Mother, pointing to the bowl of water.
I winced. Miracles? This was the New Kingdom. Religion wasn't what it used to be. The Pharaoh wasn't God anymore; God wasn't God anymore. This bothered the believers, of course, but everyone else seemed to be enjoying the break. Ra was still Ra and Ptah was still Ptah, but miracles? Miracles were strictly Old Kingdom.
"It's just a trick," I said to Nuit. "Hocus-pocus."
"Make the girl do it," said Mother, pointing an accusing finger at Nuit.
"The girl?" I asked.
Nuit warily dipped her hand into the water, and the water turned to blood.
"Hell of a trick," said Khatum.
"I saw a guy in Thebes do it once," I lied. "With chocolate milk. Kids run up, touch a jug of water, bam, chocolate milk. Bush league."
"He should do parties," said Khatum.
"He does do parties. Moses does parties, right, Ma?"
Nuit sat quietly wiping the blood from her fingers.
"By this you will know that I am the Lord," Mother said again, and she turned sharply and went to bed. Later, Nuit, Khatum, and I climbed up to the roof with a few jugs of wine, and we spent the evening turning water into blood and blood into water. Khatum ruined one jug of wine by accidentally touching it; I turned it back to wine, but nobody wanted to drink it. After that, I would hold the bottle and pour the wine directly into their mouths.
"No touching," I said. "For thou hast cooties."
"See?" giggled Nuit, "you are a slave."
"I'm your slave," I said, nuzzling her neck.
Khatum clapped his hands.
"Israelite! More wine!"
He opened his mouth and threw his head back, awaiting my service. Nuit laughed. For a moment it seemed as if we were children again, in the times before gods and politics.
It had been a while since we'd seen Khatum. It had never been a secret that he'd always loved Nuit, and it had never been a secret that she'd always loved me. He'd accepted it long ago, but perhaps our recent talk of marriage was more than he could bear. Perhaps he always thought his story would end with her in his arms. But then he also thought his story would end with his becoming a craftsman like his father; these days, though, he worked in the quarries, digging up stones for craftsmen like me. You can hope all you want for a happy ending, but sometimes, like it or not, the guy writing your story is working on a tragedy; you may not even be the main character. I felt bad for Khatum. Egypt was going through a recession. Competition for jobs was fierce, and for many, the famous Egyptian Dream — a house, twelve-point-three kids, and a two-chariot garage — would never come to pass. And so, like many of our generation, Khatum had responded with cynicism and anger, and he had taken to blaming others, sometimes loudly, and always after a few mugs of wine, for his own failures and dissatisfaction. And he was now a few past a few mugs of wine.
"Filthy Israelite!" Khatum shouted. "Unhand that Egyptian princess! Taketh thy dirty Semitic arm from … from around my beloved's … from her loins, you dirty …"
Nuit stood. "It's getting late," she said.
I helped Khatum to his feet.
"Maybe," he said as we helped him down the stairs.
We helped him on with his jacket and led him to the front door.
"Maybe," he said again.
"Will you be all right getting home?" asked Nuit.
Khatum poked a finger in my chest. "Maybe you should get the hell out," he said. "Maybe you should all get the hell out."
Nobody seemed all that impressed with the whole frog thing; magicians had been making bunnies pop out of hats for ages. Cleanup was a bitch, sure, the dead frogs reeked, and the usual environmental groups camped outside Moses' house to protest the slaughter of innocent amphibians, but for the most part, in the press and on the street, the whole event was met by the Egyptian people with a collective unawe-inspired, non-dumbstruck "Seen it."
And then came the lice.
They were everywhere, swarms of them. In people's houses, in their food, in their hair. Businesses closed, and with the economy already depressed, store owners could ill afford the loss of revenue. Men shaved the hair off their animals. Women shaved the hair off their heads.
"It's a trick," I said to Nuit. "Hocus-pocus."
"It's not a trick," announced the Pharaoh's own magicians. "It's a miracle."
Now they decide to talk.
The situation at work had become tense.
"What's the point?" my furious coworkers asked me, as if I were doing the tricks — plagues, whatever — all by myself. "Do you really think this is the way to get anyone to listen," they asked. "I mean, do you?"
Lunch tables cleared when I sat down. Conversations ground to a halt when I walked by. I spent most of the day in my office, or hiding in the bathroom.
"Israelites out!" someone had written on the wall of the men's room. "Moses sucks cock."
OK, I wrote that last one. It pleased me to imagine a world thousands of years hence, where all they knew of this Egyptian empire they had gleaned from the discovery of one small stone etched with the hieroglyph "Moses sucks cock." I imagined my famous Tablet of Thebes on display in a museum where people would come from kilometers around to view it for themselves. "We know very little about this Moses," the tour guide would say thoughtfully, "but we do know that he sucked."
"They're just angry," said Nuit over dinner.
"Stop staring at my skull," she said.
She had shaved it when the lice hit. That beautiful black hair; I was taking it harder than she.
"Sorry," I said. "You look like the Sphinx."
"The Sphinx?"
"The Sphinx isn't bald," said Nuit.
"She's not?"
"He."
"It's a he?"
"I think so."
Boy, they'd really rushed the head on that thing.
"A bald he," I said.
"Fine," she said, leaning forward to kiss me. "You always said you wanted to work inside the Sphinx."
She nibbled my ear.
"I'll get my chisels," I said.
"Ooo," she said. "Kinky."
By the time the last of the wild beasts had been rounded up and slaughtered, the anger that rumbled through our empire during the lice had swirled into a tempest of hatred and violence. The beasts had killed Egyptian livestock, ruined scores of houses, and injured more people than the doctors could heal. News reports told of people lying on the ground outside hospitals, waiting for treatment, many of them dying without being seen.
I went to work, hoping for some degree of normalcy. But the writing, once again, was on the bathroom wall. It said, "Kill the Israelites."
I told him that my office had been trashed.
"Yeah," said Mr. Omonratop, "sorry about that. Just the boys letting off a little steam. Healthy. You don't want to keep that anger all pent up."
"You know I think the world of you, son," he said. "I hate to see you go."
"But it's a chemistry thing. We're a team here. And, well, there's no I in team."
"But there's two in Israelite, " I said.
"Exactly," he said. "So you see my point."
Goddamned anti-Israelites.
Long before the beasts, long before the blood, it had been something of a sport among the empire's minorities to claim genealogical ownership of the adopted Prince Moses. The Israelites claimed he was Israelite, the Nubians claimed he was Nubian, and the Hyksos claimed he was Hyksos. They were all clamoring for that coveted foot in the palace door, a foot they believed spoke of legitimacy and acceptance. As far as the majority was concerned, though, any immigrant foot in the palace door only spoke to the need for a heavier door, stronger locks, maybe a dead bolt.
Things got worse a couple of years ago, after Moses murdered an Egyptian soldier and fled into the desert. The nation called for blood, and the press answered that call. The pampered prince and his legendary lisp would no longer be protected. THOLDIER THLAYER FLEETH! the headlines shouted. TO THE DETHERT, THORTHETH THAY! Moses claimed it was self-defense, which nobody believed (soldiers didn't tend to attack royals), and it was only a matter of days before the groups who'd been proudly claiming Moses were busy unclaiming him as publicly as possible: Israelites claimed he was Nubian, Nubians claimed he was Hyksos, and the Hyksos claimed he was Israelite. "Lousy Israelites run this country," they had said, "everyone knows that."
Despite the speculation, his true lineage only became clear a few months later when Moses returned from the desert, marched into the palace unannounced, and began accusing the new Pharaoh of wrongful imprisonment and crimes against humanity. It would have been bigger news had a day gone by without someone marching into the palace and accusing the Pharaoh of crimes against humanity, but the big story here was, as the paper reported it, that as Prince Moses finished his little speech, he held his fist in the air, threw his head back, and shouted, "Let my people go!"
A hush had fallen over the room.
"Riiiight," the Pharaoh had answered, curious as the rest of his empire. "Your people. And, uh, pardon my asking, but which people would that be, then? Wouldn't want to set the wrong people free.…"
"The Ithraelith," Moses had answered.
"The Ithraelith!"
The Pharaoh shook his head.
"I thed the Ithraelith! Thit. Thun of a bitth ith thtone deaf."
"Oh," Pharaoh had said. "The Israelites."
The morning papers were all over it.
THOLDIER THLAYER RETURNTH; THEEKTH TO THET ITHREALITE THLAVETH FREE!
Two months later, I was out of a job, carrying a knife in my pocket wherever I went, and scrubbing "All Israelites must die" off the front wall of my house.
The pestilence was brutal. All of the livestock in Egypt were dead. Horses, donkeys, camels, cattle. When the Nile had turned to blood, it killed all the fish, and the poor, for whom fish was a staple, had gone terribly hungry. Now, with the livestock wiped out, the wealthy would go hungry, too.
"How egalitarian," Khatum might have said, were he still speaking to me. "For a God, I mean."
It was no longer safe to go out, not at night, not for anyone, but especially not for Israelites. Gangs of Egyptian youths had been attacking elderly Israelites and defacing Israelite cemeteries. One night, hundreds of them marched through the streets, setting fire to Israelite shops and overturning Israelite chariots. I had been out to dinner with Nuit that evening. On our way home, we passed Khatum, who was setting fire to a pile of Israelite books.
"Nothing personal," he said to me, glancing at Nuit with disgust. "You'd better get her home."
We hurried down the street. We hadn't gone far when two youths blocked our way. I reached for Nuit's hand. The taller of the two stepped forward and sniffed the air beside her head.
"Israelite-lover," he spat at her.
I pulled the knife from my pocket. Fearless, he stepped even closer.
"Not them," Khatum called from down the street.
The youths shot him an angry look.
"I said not them!"
The youths backed away.
"Get her home," Khatum shouted.
We began to pass, and as we did, the taller one leaned forward and spat on the ground beside Nuit's feet.
"Get her home !"
There," Mother said, handing us each a cup of tea, "now you see the true nature of the Egyptian."
I didn't know what I saw. I saw people behaving like beasts. I saw God behaving like a thug. Was this a plague, too? Was this our plague, the plague upon the Israelites, the plague of being hated? Had the plagues caused this hatred, as Nuit had said, or had the plagues simply exposed it, as Mother had said? Wasn't even this — this endless wondering, this theological paranoia — a plague? Maybe Khatum had been right. Maybe it was time to go. Maybe my Egypt was gone. Maybe it had never existed.
The Israelite Defense Force met once a week, and never in the same place twice. They'd heard about the knife incident, and asked me to attend their next fundraiser.
"This is not about Moses!" a man exhorted the group gathered before him, who nodded along in agreement as he spoke. "This is about self-defense! This is about an eye for an eye! The Israelites didn't land on the pyramids of Giza; the pyramids of Giza landed on us. Are you with me?"
Nuit was starving, just like the rest of them. "Them." The pronoun all wars have in common.
We sat together on the roof of my hut, she and I, and I tried to feed her some of our meat. In just a few short days, the pestilence had killed almost all of the Egyptians' animals. The Israelites' animals were untouched.
Nuit's food wouldn't stay down. She would chew it and try swallowing, but the plague was too crafty. She moaned and I held her. Her limbs felt like reeds, hard and brittle. When the Nile was low, I would collect reeds from along the edge of the river and carve them into flutes, and I would play music for Nuit. She would lie to me and say it was good. The boils were on her shoulders now. A few showed on her forehead, another few on her chin. Sometimes she would grab the flute from my hands and run to the river, and I would chase her, and lift her into my arms, and then she would shout for me to put her down and when I did she would push me into the water, and I would reach for her and pull her in with me, and afterward we would lie together naked on the banks of the river, and we'd hold hands, or I'd play some more music, and then we'd both fall asleep under a peaceful sun.
Another night of violence had begun. From the rooftop I could see that a fire had broken out across the street. An old woman screamed.
We were going to be married.
Big promotion at work.
Pharaoh's tomb.
My Egyptian princess.
"And by this," Moses had said, "you shall know He is the Lord."
Mother was packing.
"It gets cool in the desert at night, doesn't it?" she asked. "Are you taking a jacket?"
The hail was bouncing heavily off the roof.
"I wonder if they'll have makeup there in the Promised Land — I'd hate to carry all this with me. Do you have room in your bag?"
Nuit was dying. The boils had erupted, and as they wept, they became septic and putrid, and her body, too malnourished to fight, surrendered. I tried to make her comfortable, whispered to her about the Egyptian afterlife, where the two halves of her spirit would be reunited, and she would become a member of the starry night sky and she would be free to roam on and over the earth, and how on one bright perfect Egyptian day she would come find me and I would chase her down to the Nile and she would push me in, and I would grab and pull her in with me, and afterward the banks, and the flute, and the holding hands and the peaceful sun .…
And then the lights went out, and the Darkness fell, and when it lifted, three days later, Mother was packed and Nuit was dead.
Everyone here is dead. Even the living are dead.
Mother is gone. She is following a madman into the desert, a madman who is following a murderer. Last night, in my village alone, He murdered hundreds of us in our sleep.
I'm sorry, I said to everyone. To anyone.
Just go, they said.
And Rejoice, said the madman, let this day be a day of celebration for your children and your children's children and your …
We chased him then, all of us, Israelite and Egyptian alike. With sticks and with swords we chased him, until the soldiers came with chariots and camels and they took up the hunt.
And on that very day, Moses wrote in his account of the story, the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt by their divisions.
I think he meant "balls." These were the options my God had left me: head out to the desert and take my chances with Him, or stay behind in Egypt with a nation who would like to kill me themselves.
I have remained behind with the dead. They might kill me tonight. They might kill me tomorrow. They were my brothers. They were my friends. Maybe someday I'll find somewhere new. Somewhere without gods or pharaohs, without princes or plagues. No Ra, no Ptah, no Asur. No Yahweh, no El, no nothin'.
What could I have done? I plead with my neighbors. I'm not His people. He's not my God.
God. That was the real surprise. This was the New Kingdom, after all — a place known for its godlessness. But behold, a new God had arisen over Egypt, and there it was — in the firstborns slumped over tables, in the children dead in their sleep, in all the beloveds facedown in the street, cold, bloated, blue — the glorious evidence His believers had so anxiously been awaiting.
Puddles of piss. Blood of innocents. God of Abraham.
I hear Greece is nice.

This easy-to build heat detector does not consume power when idle and therefore does not need batteries that have to be replaced every few years. It consists of a thermal switch in series with a indicator/buzzer connected to the mains voltage. When the temperature is below the thermal's switch trigger value the circuit is open and the buzzer does not sound. When the temperature rises above the thermal's switch trigger value the switch closes the circuit and the buzzer beeps.
The thermal switch (also known as thermal protector or Klixon) can be found for different temperatures and is used in for instance many sorts of household equipment. Commercial heat detectors start at around 50°C so you may want to choose a suitable temperature.
The indicator/buzzer is a ready-made module that blinks and beeps when it is connected to the mains. As an example we can mention the AD16-22SM which exists in different colors.


Today 300 million people suffer from asthma, with 250000 annual deaths attributed to it worldwide. The idea of breath actuated inhalers isn't new, but many of these require a higher force and speed of inhalation for optimal drug delivery, which can be a challenge for patients with breathing conditions. The Critikal Study suggests that up to 4 out of 10 patients don't inhale sufficiently hard and fast with their dry powder inhalers and this is associated with poor asthma control.
k-haler was designed to address many of the issues that have persisted since the invention of the first pressurised metered dose inhaler in 1956. It is breath activated, eliminating the need for patients to coordinate their breathing, but takes lower force to trigger it than most other breath actuated inhalers. k-haler's unique technology has the potential to be suitable for a range of inhaled products and forms a platform for future drug development by Mundipharma.
k-haler is designed with patients and clinicians in mind, including the device, packaging, patient information leaflet, online training tools, integrated dose counter, labelling and material finishes. The colour enables easy identification, important for patients with multiple medications. The pack reveals information in a controlled order, and an interactive web training tool aids correct usage. Studies show that patients are able to use the device within 15 minutes, irrespective of age.
The k-haler was designed and developed by Mundipharma and key partners, at their Cambridge facility in the UK.
k-haler has a combination of snap fits, top loaded counter mechanism, and automated label application. The main label creates the counter window and its design helps k-haler feel clean and simple, whilst also helping orientation. Labels are tamper evident, and allow the upgrade of colourways, regulatory information and branding. k-haler has a breath triggered valve, which when patients breathe in, automatically releases a dose. This unique valve removes the need for coordination during inhalation.
Width 31mm, depth 50mm, height 89mm. The ergonomic, compact k-haler is discreet and easy to carry. It's a closed system, preventing dirt clogging the device and irritating airways. The counter mechanism displays individual doses from 120 to zero. It uses the Tiresias font that has been designed for clear legibility by the Scientific Research Unit of the RNIB. Coloured warnings provide 1 week's notice allowing patients to plan ahead for refills. A full red bar indicates when the device is empty.
The Critikal Study suggests that up to 4 out of 10 patients don't inhale sufficiently hard and fast with their Dry Powder Inhalers. The Bell Study states that 99% of those tested with the k-haler, were able to generate adequate inspiratory flow to trigger the device at their first attempt. Multiple qualitative design research sessions were conducted across key European markets with patients and clinicians. These were used to improve general device usage such as priming, handling and orientation.

Aspergillus fumisynnematus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Fumigati section. The species was first described in 1993. It has been reported to produce neosartorin, pyripyropens, and fumimycin.

Growth and morphology

A. fumisynnematus has been cultivated on both Czapek yeast extract agar (CYA) plates and Malt Extract Agar Oxoid® (MEAOX) plates. The growth morphology of the colonies can be seen in the pictures below.

Ziegler, A., Kunth, M., Mueller, S., Bock, C., Pohmann, R., Schröder, L., et al. (2011). Application of magnetic resonance imaging in zoology. Zoomorphology, 130(4), 227-254. doi:10.1007/s00435-011-0138-8.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive imaging technique that today constitutes one of the main pillars of preclinical and clinical imaging. MRI's capacity to depict soft tissue in whole specimens ex vivo as well as in vivo, achievable voxel resolutions well below (100 μm)3, and the absence of ionizing radiation have resulted in the broad application of this technique both in human diagnostics and studies involving small animal model organisms. Unfortunately, MRI systems are expensive devices and have so far only sporadically been used to resolve questions in zoology and in particular in zoomorphology. However, the results from two recent studies involving systematic scanning of representative species from a vertebrate group (fishes) as well as an invertebrate taxon (sea urchins) suggest that MRI could in fact be used more widely in zoology. Using novel image data derived from representative species of numerous higher metazoan clades in combination with a comprehensive literature survey, we review and evaluate the potential of MRI for systematic taxon scanning. According to our results, numerous animal groups are suitable for systematic MRI scanning, among them various cnidarian and arthropod taxa, brachiopods, various molluscan taxa, echinoderms, as well as all vertebrate clades. However, various phyla in their entirety cannot be considered suitable for this approach mainly due to their small size (e.g., Kinorhyncha) or their unfavorable shape (e.g., Nematomorpha), while other taxa are prone to produce artifacts associated either with their biology (e.g., Echiura) or their anatomy (e.g., Polyplacophora). In order to initiate further uses of MRI in zoology, we outline the principles underlying various applications of this technique such as the use of contrast agents, in vivo MRI, functional MRI, as well as magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Finally, we discuss how future technical developments might shape the use of MRI for the study of zoological specimens.


The Selkirk is a medium to large cat with heavy bone that gives it surprising weight. It has a round, broad, full-cheeked head with medium ears set well apart. Its eyes are large and rounded and set well apart. The Selkirk curly gene is dominant and is genetically unrelated to the other Rex breeds. Unlike other rex breeds, the Selkirk comes in longhaired and shorthaired varieties.
The Selkirk Rex likes to be cuddled, is curious and likes to play. Selkirks are very robust and not easily frightened by household devices such as vacuum cleaners.

Team Milo Update, July 2010 – South Downs Way Double
Antony Gray (of Team Milo) surpassed himself this time by completing the gruelling South Downs Way Double. This spectacular mountain bike ride started in Eastbourne and followed a course across the bridleways and footpaths of southern England, including a staggering 10,000 feet of ascent, and ending some 100 miles away in Winchester.
However, that wasn't enough for Antony, he then turned around and went all the way back, covering yet another 100 miles and another 10,000 feet of ascent. All this he achieved within 24 hours which entitled him to join the South Downs Way Double's hall of fame.
During the ride he was supported by a number of other riders who accompanied him through the particularly difficult stages and each supplying him with much needed refreshments and moral support. The support team included GEW's Ben Bristow who did the final shift of 38 miles to Eastbourne.
Antony did this incredible achievement in support of Lynn's Bowel Cancer Campaign, having lost his sister to Bowel Cancer back in September 2008, aged just 45.
GEW supported Antony in some of his previous fundraising activities and were pleased to sponsor him again for this amazing feat. You can see some of his other achievements below. If you want to contribute, you can donate at the Just Giving website: www.justgiving.com/teammilo2 for the South Downs Way Double Challenge.

Home Op-Eds John Kerry Fronts for Illegal War
John Kerry Fronts for Illegal War
At his testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee on Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry used two weak arguments to justify President Obama's war-making in Iraq and potentially in Syria.
First, he said the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), which Congress approved right after 9/11, gives the President the right to go after ISIS, even though ISIS had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks and wasn't even around then.
What's more, Kerry's boss, Barack Obama, just last year warned of the dangers of misusing this authorization.
In a speech at the National Defense University, Obama called for an "eventual repeal" of that law.
"The AUMF is now nearly twelve years old," he said. "Unless we discipline our thinking, our definitions, our actions, we may be drawn into more wars we don't need to fight, or continue to grant Presidents unbound powers more suited for traditional armed conflicts between nation states."
Kerry's second justification was equally disturbing. He said, "The President has the right under Article Two to defend this nation." Article Two of the Constitution states that "the President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States." But Article One says that Congress has the sole power to declare war.
Kerry's invocation of Article Two is eerily reminiscent of the rationales offered by George W. Bush and Dick Cheney and their Justice Department lawyers, who claimed that the President in time of war could do anything he wanted abroad and even at home. (John Yoo, the White House is on the line…)
For liberals, it was an embarrassing day. Senator Barbara Boxer of California was there to defend the President and his misuse of the AUMF. And the most ardent defender of the Constitution and Congress's power to declare war was not a Democrat but Senator Rand Paul.
"The President used to believe this," Paul said. On the campaign trail in 2008, "he said no President should unilaterally go to war—so I liked the President as a candidate on this but not as a President."
Paul said he was "disappointed in the President for disobeying the Constitution."
The most visible progressives at the hearing were the members of CodePink who held up signs throughout Kerry's testimony that said: "U.S. Bombing Equals More Terrorism" and "More War Equals More Extremism."
Opinion Foreign Policy Militarism National Security
John Kerry is the worst
John Kerry is the worst Secretary of State ever - With the exception of Hillary Clinton. We've had some bad ones before, along with some great ones. Obomber's ability to choose two such monstrous losers in a row, sets a new record for incompetence.
The Secretary of State is in line for the Presidency if someone, or something, incapacitates the VP and Speaker of the House. These appointments by the current President show how little he cares about good governance and the US!

I am familiar with Mr. Kerry
I am familiar with Mr. Kerry's anti-war record, he served honorable and protested our continued involvement in Vietnam. I am saddened for him and for all of us that the short shift of conversation and analysis of current policy preferences is where his life has led him. How ironic. And, not in a good way.

COVID-19: Buhari Mourns 20 Doctors, Says Govt Will Prioritise Health Workers' Welfare
Akinola Ajibola
A file photo of President Muhammadu Buhari.
President Muhammadu Buhari has saluted the sacrifices of the doctors who were killed by COVID-19 in parts of the country.
In a statement on Saturday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, President Buhari gave an assurance that the welfare of doctors and other health workers would be a priority for his administration.
He also sent his condolence to the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) over the death of the doctors due to the pandemic, noting that the sacrifices made by the frontline medical workers were appreciated.
READ ALSO: Why 20 Doctors Died Of COVID-19 In One Week – NMA
"The death of our frontline health workers in the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic is particularly sad because these professionals risk their own lives in order to save others," the President was quoted as saying.
He added, "Our health workers are making maximum sacrifices for the country in line with their humanitarian calling, and this administration will leave no stone unturned in order to ensure their needs are met.
According to the President, the health workers are operating under severe limitations, but they are undeterred in discharging their duties in saving lives.
"Let me say without any fear of contradiction that no reward is too much for the sacrifices of our health workers in the country, and this administration will give their welfare the priority it deserves," he stated.
President Buhari also mourned the Galadiman Lokoja, Godwin Ajakpo, as well as the Chairman of Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), Air Commodore Idongesit Nkanga, a former military Governor.
His remarks were in reaction to the comments of the NMA Chairman in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Dr Enema Amodu, that no fewer than 20 medical doctors died of COVID-19 in the last one week across the country.
Addressing a press briefing in Abuja on Christmas Day, he noted that the late medical doctors contracted the disease in the course of treating infected patients who failed to disclose their true health status.

All applications to the Dalla Lana School of Public Health are initially assessed based on scanned copies of transcripts. If and when necessary, Official transcripts will be requested at a later phase in the application process.
You must indicate, in your application profile, all post-secondary institutions you have attended, even if you feel it is not relevant to the DLSPH program to which you are applying, and even if you did not complete the program.

Note that a university education in English may not be considered sufficient (e.g. TOEFL/TWE is still required for graduates from such countries as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia). A Medical Residency in Canada does not satisfy the ELP requirement, nor does living/working in an English speaking country.
Your application will not be considered without proof of English language proficiency. A satisfactory ELP test result must be available prior to the application deadline. The test score can be no more than two years old.
If in doubt, take a test of English Language Proficiency.

Your reference should be able to comment on your academic ability and potential to succeed in a graduate program and as a Public Health professional or researcher. Referees will be asked to comment on the applicant in such areas as leadership, organization and problem solving. Generally, a former professor/supervisor or employer is the most appropriate reference. At least one academic reference is recommended.
DrPH applicants: Please provide two letters that indicate to the admissions committee your aptitude and suitability to the DrPH program, and how it will support the advancement of your contributions to the public health workforce. At minimum, one letter should attest to your academic aptitude and potential, while one letter should describe your skills, leadership potential, and suitability from a public health policy or practice perspective.

NOTE: If your referee does not have an institutional email address, please inform the Graduate Office at admissions.dlsph@utoronto.ca and provide the personal email address of your referee.
It is recommended that you confirm your reference's availability and email address prior to submitting their contact information. Alert them that an email, with the appropriate link to the reference submission page, will be arriving from the U of T, School of Graduate Studies.
It is critical that you contact your references in advance to explain this process so that they can respond appropriately. It may be necessary to follow up with your referees to ensure that the reference is submitted, electronically, by the deadline.
