Genetic differentiation among manzanitas species: distinct species, geographic groups and introgression.
The manzanitas are evergreen shrubs and small trees in the genus Arctostaphylos Adans. (Ericaceae), the most species-diverse woody genus in the California Floristic Province (CFP). All sixty manzanita species occur in the CFP, with most species occurring only within the CFP, and around half the species having very restricted ranges within the region. Arctostaphylos is distinct as a group, and its species are known for their colorful red bark, twisting branches, and urn-shaped flowers. However, species boundaries in the manzanitas have long been a subject of debate among taxonomists, due to morphological similarity among many species, interspecific hybridization, and introgression, rendering the manzanitas a long-term "problem group". In this study, we used double digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq), and a chromosome-scale genome assembly, to generate genome-wide data for twenty-two manzanita species, including multiple individuals per species. We used genetic distance-based and ordination methods to assess genetic differentiation among the sampled species. Preliminary results show that many species can be genetically distinguished, while others appear genetically intermixed with other species in geographically coherent species clusters. One cluster of apparently genetically intermixed species is composed of endemic species of the Sierra Nevada, while another is composed of six narrow-ranged endemics of the Central Coast region, A. obispoensis, A. luciana, A. pilosula, A. silvicola, A. morroensis, and A. montereyensis. One polytypic, tetraploid species, A. glandulosa, appears divided into distinct geographic subgroups, each appearing more genetically similar to other species within each region. Our analyses further suggest that some taxa are of hybrid origin, or are introgressed. We are generating morphological and environmental datasets to complement these genomic data in order to comprehensively assess species boundaries in Arctostaphylos.

Enas and her family came to the U.S. from Syria a year and a half ago. She's still learning English, but she knows enough to check in at the front desk at Serve Spokane, her local food pantry and a Second Harvest partner agency.
Enas comes to Serve Spokane twice a month to get food for her family. With two children, ages 9 and 13, and a husband, there are four mouths to feed.
Enas' husband cannot work due to severe illness, and she does not yet know enough English to find work herself. No income means no money for basic needs like food. The food she takes home from Serve Spokane helps her family get by day to day.
The menu for the house includes mostly Syrian dishes—with the occasional pizza. The food pantry has lots of fresh foods, which Enas appreciates, since fresh often means expensive. "I cook in my house, and we need a lot of vegetables, milk, bread, eggs. I find everything in here," said Enas.
She named some of the ingredients common to Syrian dishes: tomato, potato, spinach, cucumber, lettuce, lemon—all items she has received from her food pantry.
Despite the language barrier, she's managed to make connections with people at the food bank. A regular volunteer greeted her with a hug as she waited in line for the food pantry to open. "The people in here are nice," said Enas.

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology > 43 > 5 > 486 - 494
Background The presence and extent of ventricular dyssynchrony are currently assessed from the QRS complex morphology and width. However, similar electrocardiography (ECG) pattern may be caused by variable ventricular activation sequence. This may then contribute to interindividually different response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Methods Electroanatomical mapping and magnetic resonance...

Jakub Honěk, Luděk Šefc, Tomáš Honěk, Martin Šrámek, more
Canadian Journal of Cardiology > 2015 > 31 > 8 > 1061-1066
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is associated with an increased risk of decompression sickness (DCS) in divers that results from a paradoxical embolization of nitrogen bubbles. The number of scuba divers worldwide is estimated in the millions, and the prevalence of PFO is 25%-30% in adults. It is interesting that despite these numbers, many important issues regarding optimal screening, risk stratification,...

Cor et Vasa > 2015 > 57 > 1 > e16-e27
The first alcohol septal ablation (ASA) was performed in 1994. The concept of "therapeutic acute myocardial infarction" caused by application of concentrated alcohol into coronary artery is not quite unique since certain arrhythmias were treated in a similar way in the past; however, ASA has been discussed widely since its introduction and refused for many years by many cardiologists. Sufficiently...

Despite the fact that Nokia hasn't really been an active smartphone manufacturer for the past few years, the Nokia brand has remained one of the most popular names in the mobile world, mostly due to the company's legacy with feature phones rather than its impact on the smartphone market. In any case, many smartphone users have been looking forward to Nokia making a comeback, and numerous Nokia fans have been rooting for an Android-powered smartphone for a few years now, with plenty of leaks and rumors keeping the fire burning. But according to recent reports, the wait is nearly over as new "confirmation" from a Microsoft executive suggests that at least two new Android-powered Nokia smartphones are planned for a market release in the second quarter of 2017.
According to previous reports, the smartphones aimed for a market release in 2017 will be powered by Android, presumably featuring Nokia's Z Launcher on top. The same goes for the alleged upcoming devices for the fourth quarter of 2016, which have been rumored to accommodate 2K displays in metallic housings. In any case, HDM Global can build Nokia smartphones using the company's patents under strict licensing and following Nokia's design and hardware guidelines, but it remains to be seen if the timeframes above will stick.

For National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, JourneyCare is celebrating the many innovative and creative ways our staff and volunteers help provide care, support and companionship to positively impact the lives of JourneyCare patients and their loved ones. Learn more at journeycare.org.
If you ever run into people carrying mud-covered shovels at the front entrance of The Pepper Family Hospice CareCenter in Barrington, you're seeing JourneyCare volunteer gardeners at work. We volunteers have designed and planted the front entrance of CareCenter for the past four years. We also arrange the patio planters and undertake several other creative garden projects that welcome patients and their loved ones to JourneyCare.
We are a team that tries to make things beautiful with plants. As members of The Garden Club of Barrington, all of us bring different strengths and contributions to our work at the CareCenter. Some of us are really good at design, others are skilled at finding donations, some are very knowledgeable about plants — and we all like to dig in the dirt. We also all have experience interacting with JourneyCare patients and enjoy visiting with families who stop by when we are working. Gardening seems to be a great connection for visitors to share stories about their loved ones.
Recently I was set to work on the front entrance. While heading up the drive I noticed a woman who was walking like she had the weight of the world on her shoulders. She was carrying a "patient's belongings" bag and heading to her car. I sent some silent best wishes to her as she slowly walked away.
As I was setting about my work, I kept a close eye on a female mallard duck that had built its nest in our garden. I greeted people as they walked past and continued my weeding and pruning. As I got closer to the duck's nest, I spoke to it, telling her that she was safe and I wasn't going to hurt her nest. I was making cooing noises that would calm her, similar to those I use with babies.
As I completed my work and congratulated my duck friend on not freaking out and leaving her nest, I realized I was not alone. The woman who I had seen earlier was sitting on the bench by the front door. I admit I was a bit embarrassed to be caught talking to a duck! As I was starting to explain that there was a well-camouflaged duck in the bushes, she waved her hand and asked if I could help her with her shoes. She had gone walking and they were caked with limestone and mud.
Happy to help, I cleaned up her shoes, assisted with putting them back on, and gave her a hand getting to her feet. She was holding my arm and had a smile on her face. She said, "You will never know how much you helped me." Then she walked in the doors.
These types of chance encounters happen with all of us hospice garden volunteers. We believe that some people are called to nature to help heal, and this is why we love to work in the garden. It's another way JourneyCare supports the patients and families in our care.
A special thank you for growing with us!
We volunteer gardeners are always on the lookout to find good deals and donations. The Little Garden Club of Barrington has sponsored the cost of one of our planters for the last four years. With a local grant and a donation from a nursery, we were able to plant a butterfly garden, behind the large gazebo at the Barrington CareCenter. Over the years we have been involved in many projects with a lot of different partners.
This autumn we decided to change our fall motif and use a new plant vendor. We chose We Grow Dreams, a nonprofit nursery that was the brain-child of a small group of Naperville parents who recognized the need to provide job training and employment opportunities to people with disabilities. We Grow Dreams Garden and Greenhouse Center in West Chicago offers a large variety of tasks for its staff to learn and master. Executive Director Gregg Bettcher delivered beautiful plants to us and his commitment and pride in the organization is inspiring. We are happy to have another partner that supports those in need!

McAfee offers a new program that offers professionals who dedicated extended time to their families the chance to reignite their passion for the technology industry and relaunch their careers.
Sometimes, it's necessary to put your career on hold to raise kids, care for loved ones or serve your country. For many, it can be daunting to reenter the workplace after time away. That's why McAfee designed its Return to Workplace program.
Launched in India in 2018, the 12-week Return to Work program offers training, support and resources for those who are looking to reenter the technology field and put their careers back on track.
Read Sheetal's and Majy's stories about how McAfee's Return to Workplace program helped them build the skills they needed to reenter the workforce and come back strong.
To pursue my love for technology, I moved to Bangalore to complete my engineering degree in computer science, and I found rewarding work as a Quality Auditor. In 2015, I added another momentous title to my resume—mom. I gave birth to my first child and took my maternity leave; however, family circumstances extended my break.
Three years later, I was finally ready to get back to work, and I anxiously began my job hunt. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, and I had a few concerns to say the least. Not only did I fear I'd be behind in the fast-paced technology industry, I also feared I wouldn't find a supportive workplace as a single mom.
As a single mother, McAfee allowed me to balance both my career and my family by giving me flexible work hours, technical mentoring, soft skills training, sessions with the HR team and several other resources to sharpen my professional skills. It helped me build my confidence over time, and today, I am working as a part of the application development team, assuring that the business works efficiently as possible.
McAfee has offered not only me, but a number of other wonderful women, a second chance to resume their careers at their own pace, without having to give up time with their families and children.
Passionate about technology, I pursued my education in engineering at Calicut University and began my career soon after as a software engineer. I loved my career and the people I worked with—it's what got me out of bed and excited about each day. Eventually, my reasons to start the day shifted when my husband and I were blessed with our first child. I decided it was time to put a hold on my career, to be there for my son and spend quality time at home during those early development years.
My son was growing up right before my eyes, and as he became more independent, I considered returning to my career. Even though I was eager to get back to work, I feared I wouldn't find a company that allowed me to manage both a fulfilling career and raising a child at home—or if my skills would still be relevant.
McAfee's Return to Workplace initiative completely blew me away. With the working environment that McAfee offered me, which was flexible and encouraging, I absolutely could not miss this opportunity. McAfee offered me several avenues to learn and brush up on my technical skills. They even provided me with a technical mentor! Having access to my mentor created a safe environment where I could ask my technical queries without feeling the pressure of asking the wrong question. In addition to this, the host of online courses I could leverage was an advantage for me. Ultimately, McAfee provided me with an environment where I could learn and grow without feeling intimidated. This was empowering and gave me the push I needed to successfully complete the program. McAfee was my natural first choice for returning to work and I couldn't have been happier to accept a full-time position.

This work by Howard a biography of Tara Browne is part review and part of our celebrity Lotus owner's series.
It straddles our social history comprehension of Chapman, Lotus and the cultural envelope they influenced particularly in the 1960's.We explore the overlaps and connectivity between pop culture and the Elan.
In this piece we refer to the lyrics of the era to reinforce connectivity.
Tara Browne is likely to engender some polarised views. He might be considered as very much part of the 1960's Gender Generation with overtones of: –
Little Lord Faunteroy
Billy Budd
Glamour melachoncolia

Tara Browne died in a car crash whilst driving his Lotus Elan. There are suggestions the Beatles knew Tara and this influenced /inspired their song. Other sources have denied this. What is possible is that the events and lyrics capture the era, the joy and tragedy present.
From the net: –
"A Day in the Life" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles that was released as the final track of their 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Credited to Lennon–McCartney, the verses were written mainly by John Lennon, with Paul McCartney primarily contributing the song's middle section. Lennon's lyrics were inspired by contemporary newspaper articles, including a report on the death of Guinness heir Tara Browne. The recording includes two passages of orchestral glissandos that were partly improvised in the avant-garde style. As with the sustained piano chord that closes the song, the orchestral passages were added after the Beatles had recorded the main rhythm track.
The climax of their masterpiece Sgt Pepper, A Day in The Life found The Beatles at the peak of their creative powers, an astonishing artistic statement that saw them fearless, breaking boundaries and enthralling generations of listeners with the timeless quality of their music."
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords
I saw a film today, oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to turn you on
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
Paris and London
Tara was brought up in Ireland but spent a formative youth in the exciting cultural envelope of Paris through the mid-late 1950's. This was the time when the French New Wave cinema was developing. Francoise Sagan [see dedicated article] was amongst a French artistic elite and luminary.
"Swinging Sixties was a youth-driven cultural revolution that took place in the UK during the mid-to-late 1960s, emphasizing modernity and fun-loving hedonism, with Swinging London as its epicenter.[1] It saw a flourishing in art, music and fashion, and was symbolised by the city's "pop and fashion exports". Among its key elements were the Beatles, as leaders of the British Invasion; Mary Quant's miniskirt; popular fashion models such as Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton; the mod subculture; the iconic status of popular shopping areas (such as King's Road, Kensington and Carnaby Street); the political activism of the anti-nuclear movement; and sexual liberation.[1] Music was a big part of the scene, with "the London sound" including the Who, the Kinks, the Small Faces and the Rolling Stones, bands that were the mainstay of pirate radio stations like Radio Caroline and Swinging Radio England.[2] Swinging London also reached British cinema, which "saw a surge in formal experimentation, freedom of expression, colour, and comedy".[1] During this period, "creative types of all kinds gravitated to the capital, from artists and writers to magazine publishers, photographers, advertisers, film-makers and product designers".[2]
During this era, London "[metamorphosed] from a gloomy, grimy post-war capital into a bright, shining epicenter of style".[2] The phenomenon was caused by the large number of young people in the city (due to the baby boom of the 1950s) and the postwar economic boom.[2] Following the abolition of the national service for men in 1960, these young people enjoyed greater freedom and fewer responsibilities than their parents' generation,[2] and "[fanned] changes to social and sexual politics".[1] Despite shaping the popular consciousness of Britain in the 1960s, however, Swinging London was a West End-centered phenomenon that only happened among young, middle class people, and was considered "simply a diversion" by some of them. The swinging scene also served as a consumerist counterpart to the countercultural British underground of the same period. Simon Rycroft writes: "Whilst it is important to acknowledge the exclusivity and the dissenting voices, it does not lessen the importance of Swinging London as a powerful moment of image making with very real material effect."[3]"
Howard's work helps make clear the really influential people of the 1960's Swinging London was quite small numbering about 200 based around pop groups, managers, agents and fashion industry that helped form their stage presence etc. Amongst the most powerful artistically and financially were: –
The models and fashion world including boutique [See below]
The aristocracy and villains
Peter Sellers and Britt Eland
Jim Hendrix
Irish and British artists [see below]
Artists graphic etc helping articulate products
Tara acquired a taste for traditional Irish folk music. He travelled extensively in Ireland studying, recording and picking this up.
In France he enjoyed trad jazz through to modern jazz and hence to pop.
He moved to London in the early 1960's when the city was on the cusp of a cultural and social Renaissance [see A&R dedicated articles]
Tara and Dandie Fashions
Tara sought to get involved in business activities to motivate himself. One of these was Dandie Fashions located at 161 Kings Road.
"Perhaps 'an icon' is not a right word here. But Tara Browne had become something of a cult figure – mostly among Beatles fans – since it was his death that inspired the lyrics of "A Day In The Life" (Little known fact: his death also inspired another song: "Death Of The Socialite" by The Pretty Things).
Born in 1945, The Hon. Tara Browne was a son of Dominick Browne, the 4th Baron of Oranmore and Browne and Oonagh Guinness – an heiress to the Guinness fortune. After completing his education in public school in Paris, he came to London, and, like other 'hip' aristocrats in Swinging London, he invested money in a tailoring venture – Foster and Tara. He provided financial backing for tailors Pops and Cliff Foster. Foster & Tara initially were making clothes on order for boutiques such as Granny Takes a Trip, before Tara decided to open his own boutique – Dandie Fashions, which would exclusively sell F&T designs.
Dandie Fashions (sometimes spelled 'Dandy' on their clothing labels) was a high fashion men's boutique on the hip Kings Road, Chelsea for a brief period in the late 1960s.
Operating for just a couple of years, their brightly painted psychedelic shop catered to such rock'n'roll legends as The Beatles, David Bowie, The Who, The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, which gives you a pretty good idea of the pedigree of this short-lived label".
Dandie Fashions or sometimes Dandy Fashions was a London fashion boutique founded in 1966, following a chance encounter at the Speakeasy Club between Freddie Hornik and Alan Holston, who then got together with Australian John Crittle, the Guinness heir Tara Browne and Neil Winterbotham, and launched the new business.[1]
Dandie Fashions opened its shop at 161 King's Road, Chelsea in October 1966. John Crittle had previously worked for Michael Rainey in his boutique Hung On You. Crittle and Tara Browne wanted a retail outlet for their new tailoring company Foster and Tara. In December 1966, Browne died in a car crash, while he was on his way to discuss shop front designs with the graphic artist David Vaughan. Crittle bought his share of the business.[2]
Five months after opening their Apple Boutique in Baker Street (which ran from 7 December 1967 to 30 July 1968), the Beatles invested in Dandie, renaming it Apple Tailoring (Civil & Theatric). They were attracted to King's Road by the presence of the clothing boutiques Dandie, along with Granny Takes a Trip and Hung On You. Apple Tailoring opened at the same 161 King's Road premises as Dandie, on 23 May 1968. Neil Aspinall and Apple's accountant Stephen Maltz became directors. John Lennon and George Harrison attended the launch party. However, it never made a profit and closed some months later.[3]
From Gear Guide: –
"When Dandie Fashions first opened the Rolling Stones bought the entire stock. The place is constantly full of similarly discriminating gentlemen [and you might see Bridget Bardot-if you're lucky!]
Outside, rainbow painting contracts strikingly with large gloomy Windows. A more than life size bust of Apollo stares bleakly out. Inside more rainbow painting contrasts with stuffed birds. The mixture is somewhere between a lumber room in an old English house and a psychedelic freak out party.
Dandie Fashion, opened originally by John Crittle in Gloucester Mews, moved to the King's Road ……there is a lot of very handsome revivalist stuff-velvet Georgian topcoat for instance.
Suits can be made to measure for 32 guineas upwards, shoes made to measure for 6 guineas upwards; trousers also from 6 guineas.there's a wide range of unusual ready –made gear that includes ties by Niko Kerman and exclusive silk screened shirts"
It's a well-known fact that psychedelic recreational drugs became part of the pop scene during the 1960's. Tara Browne participated and evidence suggests it took a toll on him his wife and family. LSD was the main drug.
The music and lyrics of the era began to reflect use .For example the works on Rubber Soul
The Elan and Fast cars
Tara loved fast cars and his mother indulged him.
He owned an Alfa Romeo.
There was also the famous A.C.Cobra that was painted in psychedelic fashion by Binder, Edwards and Vaughan.[see net for images].This car was displayed at The Frazer Gallery from 3rd.September 1966.It also found its way to the USA.
Howard also suggests Lord Snowdon took photographs of it, possibly close to the Houses of Parliament.
For an overlap into pop art see A&R on Gerald Laing]
Howard also makes reference to the 1964 Targa Florio which Tara might have attended.
The Lotus Elan was launched in October 1962 at the British Motor show, just as the Sixties started swinging. Jaguar had launched the E-Type the previous year, and AC had the Cobra and Ferrari the GTO. Big, expensive, powerful muscles cars. The Lotus Elan was very different, and typically Lotus – ultra modern, lightweight, rapid and huge fun.
It summed up the Sixties: a playful topless two-seat ticket to freedom, it was technically innovative with the first backbone tube chassis of any road car, a fiberglass body, four-wheel independent suspension, 670kg with a peachy power-to-weight ratio, bang up-to-date styling beloved by Kings Road cruisers, and a liberating, rock n' roll attitude.
It came with luxuries that were a rarity at the time, like electric windows, carpets, a heater, and in vogue wooden fascia, but it was still light enough on the scales to outrun other automotive competition – not to mention groupies.
The Lotus Elan Sprint, a more powerful 1973 alternative, could hit 60mph in 6.6 seconds, which even now would be considered respectably fast. Back then it was Neil Armstrong territory.
Its pop-up headlights could wink at admirers. It turned heads on Carnaby Street, where the Swinging Sixties embraced cool new design. As well as its turn on TV, defeating baddies and complimenting Diana Rigg's risqué wardrobe, it found its way onto a magazine cover with Jimi Hendrix posing on the bonnet, and even inspired the lyrics to The Beatles' A Day In The Life.
Figure 1.Lotus brochure c 1964 capturing essence of Swinging Sixties', A&R collection
Elan and Tara Browne
Its suggested Tara bought an Elan in April 1964 in component form?
Whilst in Ireland with the Elan he entered a local race. We understand this to be the Mercantile Credit event covered by Autosport .Details from the net :-
"MEC also ran a sprint at Rathdrum from 1962 to 1986 on a 0.8-mile triangular circuit. It was too narrow to be classed as a race so cars started at ten second intervals with passing permitted. Winners included GP driver John Watson in a Crossle, Bangor's John Pringle, F1 Cooper Climax, Brian Nelson Crossle, Frank Keane Brabham.
An interesting driver in the 1964 May meeting was the Rt. Hon. Tara Browne , a 19 year old swinging sixties socialite , heir to the Guinness fortune and inspiration for the Beatles song " A Day in The life ".
He drove his road-going Lotus Elan with gusto, albeit as I remember with a couple big of spins. However, he went well enough to win the overall handicap for the Mercantile Trophy which no doubt was filled that evening with a magnum of Bollinger and not the black stuff! Sadly, as the lyrics suggest he lost his life a few years later in a road accident in London"
Howard suggests Tara might have liked to have followed a career in motor racing and that Gore Taylor was to coach him or possibly be his manager.
Figure 2.Alan Morgan's Elan
Len Street Motors, Chelsea
Quote from the net –see also internet images of the first then expanded premises. Len Street was a Lotus dealer. There are also magazine ads confirming location.
We believe the first business might have been named Len Street Engineering based in a mews garage. The larger and more modern building was :-
Len Street 67-69 Drayton Gdns Chelsea SW10 01370 4114
Tara took a business interest here and possibly worked on some cars as mechanic of sorts? The suggestion is that some tuning was undertaken that might have assisted "getaway" cars in criminal activity of the era.
Film and documentary
Tara as the subject of a film/ documentary. We ought recall the Beatles impact in the era .In addition Blow Up capture the times and are essential viewing for serious students of social/cultural history.
Very much a microseism of Tara's life is Performance ; from the net:-
"Performance is a 1970 British crime drama film directed by Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg, written by Cammell and photographed by Roeg. The film stars James Fox as a violent and ambitious London gangster who, after carrying out an unordered killing, goes into hiding at the home of a reclusive rock star (Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones, in his film acting debut).
The film was produced in 1968 but not released until 1970 due to the reluctance of Warner Bros. to distribute the film because of its graphic violence and sexual content. It received a mixed critical response initially, but gained a cult following, and since then its reputation has grown in stature; it is now regarded as one of the most influential and innovative films of the 1970s as well as in British cinema.
In 1999, Performance was voted the 48th greatest British film of all time by the British Film Institute; in 2008 Empire magazine ranked the film 182nd on its list of the 500 Greatest Movies of All Time."
Figure 3.Complementary page to above brochure A&R collection
Tara loved gadgets of various descriptions. He was a fan of Scalextric and raced with Stones band members.
Our learning /educational opportunities are intended to be challenging thought provoking and requiring additional research and/or analysis.
These opportunities are particularly designed for a museum/education centre location where visitors would be able to enjoy access to all the structured resources available in conjunction with any concurrent exhibition.
In this instance we suggest the following might be appropriate:-
Name groups in Exhibition title list and suggest extended exhibition titles/themes
Identify famous pop stars or celebrities and their cars from 1960's
How when and where have fashion , and cars collided
What other celebrities in 1960's died young ?under what circumstance?
Peacocks and dandies -identify clothes and criteria from 1960's and present day
What other specialist sports cars in 1960's were offered as component ?from 1960 which newspaper colour supplements gave combined cars and fashion in shoots
Identify films that captured the essence of 1960's
How many Lotus dealers existed in London in 1960's?
What was the nature of criminal underbelly that developed in 1960's London compare with today
What aftermarket tuning specialist emerged in 1960's?

Exhibitions, Education, Economics and Entertainment
In the museum context the editors believe that commercial considerations are both necessary and complementary with its educational objectives.
For these reasons our suggested outline Business Plan includes provision for promoting products and services which share Chapman's ideals of mechanical efficiency and sustainability. In addition we propose merchandising that explain and interprets the social and cultural context of Chapman's designs in period. It's suggested there will be catalogue for on line purchasing.

The Swinging sixties is often seen as a British Renaissance and era of democratisation.
This is partly or relatively true.
There was a considerable burst of creativity and entrepreneurial spirit along with success in sports at an International level. London was the post war epicentre of motor racing.
Fashion, pop music and art collided in a ferment of ideas and a galaxy of stars including Chapman were influential in facilitating a modernisation.
However there was both underlying tragedy, loss of young lives and an exploitive tendency along with a criminal underbelly. By the mid-sixties the pop groups better understood their finances and sought to control them and achieve greater self-determination [including lyrics etc.]
Recreational Drugs propagandists suggested psychedelic drugs were liberating and mind expanding, but sadly often had negative side effects or were counterproductive. Many innocent people were damaged not least children when parents were dabbling.
Psychedelic drugs perhaps contributed to an idealistic disillusionment and eventual cynicism.
Tara Browne was within this ferment and perhaps tragically became a victim of it. [Although some may attribute his mother spoilt him and perhaps sowed seeds of self-destruction] along with many other young talented individuals.
Within this orbit it's important to note how Chapman and Lotus were involved and interacted and shaped[literally] the agenda of the era.
Howard's work is fully commended. Its richly redolent, sympathetic, poignant, often lyrical, evocative and haunting. For those wishing to immerse themselves in a holistic overview with a prism to chapman and Lotus this is an excellent start.

BRIDE AND PREJUDICE DVD released for Region 1
We missed the big debut date on Tuesday, but we're sure most Alert Janeites know that the Region 1 DVD of BRIDE AND PREJUDICE was released this week. Most of the reviews are positive; we've collected those we found of interest below the fold.
Bruce Dancis of the Sacramento Bee (via azcentral.com) calls B&P "one of the overlooked gems of 2004." (We concur, though we didn't get to see it till 2005 anyway.)
Aaron Baldwin of the Monitor (TX) doesn't commit himself one way or the other on the film, but does offer some information about the DVD extras:
Rai and Henderson participate in conversations about the Bride, while Chadha provides commentary. The DVD also includes deleted and extended footage, an Ashanti music video and a featurette about adapting the colorful style of Bombay's movie industry for overseas audiences.
Bruce Newman of Mercury News says it is "a cheesy knockoff of 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding.'"
Bruce Kirkland of the Winnipeg Sun (what is it with all these movie reviewers named Bruce?) longs for that Firth fellow. Yeah, get in line, dude.
C. Meyer of the San Francisco Chronicle says that "the musical numbers are great fun."
Ted Mahar of the Oregonian says the film is "a grand Bollywood musical, lighthearted, well-acted, lavishly staged and at least partly tongue-in-cheek." Yep.
Warren Clements of the Globe and Mail (Toronto) adds, "For viewers who love Bollywood films for their extravagant song and dance numbers, the DVD includes welcome extended versions of the movie's musical sequences."
Jeffrey Sisk of the McKeesport, PA Daily News says, "With its elaborate musical sequences (think the Hollywood song-and-dance spectacles of the 1940s) and deft comedic touch, "Bride & Prejudice" has a little something for everyone."

← Too old for Mickey Mouse?
Until quite recently, figs were one of those foods I didn't really know much about and had for some reason decided I didn't like – having never actually tried them. I think my dislike was something I'd carried from childhood and had more to do with those horrid fig biscuits than the fruit itself. I didn't like those one bit and I still don't. At least I think I don't.
Then, one hot Summer's day in France, whilst taking a walk, I slipped on a carpet of squashed figs which were completely covering the road. I remember very clearly thinking how much I loved that smell and – being somewhat affected – it reminded me of my favourite scented candle. Anyway, in amongst that slightly materialistic association, it made me curious about figs and I'm pleased to say I've loved them ever since. The real ones, not the candles. I'm a bit over the candles. Although I do know someone, a man, who wears a figgy scent and it does create the most delicious perfume.
So, we've been enjoying French figs for the past few years but had never found really good ones in England until we discovered our – almost – very own fig tree, right here in Oxfordshire. And now that we have more figs than we really know what to do with, there are all kinds of plans to make all manner of things. Neither candles nor perfumes, but maybe jams and chutneys – who knows. For now we're happy just eating them greedily.
I think the most delicious way to enjoy figs is hot. You can bake them with all sorts. I like them wrapped in prosciutto and stuffed with a little bit of roquefort cheese.
All you need to do is score the figs in to quarters, but not all the way through. Just enough to open them up. Stuff your cheese inside and then wrap closed with a piece of thin prosciutto ham. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil and put in the oven until the cheese has melted and the ham has crisped up slightly. About 10 minutes depending on how hot your oven is. Serve with some salad leaves and perhaps a little olive oil and good balsamic and that's it.
Or you can score them as above, put a dollop of honey in the middle, wrap them in the prosciutto and cook them in the same way.
Or you can miss out the ham altogether and just go with the honey or the cheese. All very delicious indeed.
So that's my post about figs. Really it was all an excuse to show this photograph which I think is just about the prettiest fig picture I've ever seen.
Sarah has a huge fig tree and we have just been mad at the mess it makes because squashed figs attract insects and the children use them as missiles. After your encouraging story maybe we can start afresh and after using one of your recipes we might like them too!!

A one-equation turbulence model is presented, in which the turbulent kinetic energy k is calculated with a transport equation whereas the turbulent length scale l is calculated with an algebraic expression. The value of l depends on the local stratification and reduces to the classical kappa vertical bar z vertical bar scaling for unstratified flows near a wall, where vertical bar z vertical bar is the distance to the wall. The length scale decreases during stable stratification, and increases for unstable stratification compared to the neutral case. In the limit of strong stable stratification, the so-called buoyancy length scale proportional to k(1/2)N(-1) is obtained, where N is the buoyancy frequency. The length scale formulation introduces a single model parameter which is calibrated against experimental data. The model is verified extensively against laboratory measurements and oceanic data, and comparisons are made with the two-equation k-epsilon model. It is shown that the performance of the proposed k model is almost identical to that of the k-epsilon model. In addition, the stability functions of Launder are revisited and adjusted to obtain better agreement with recent data.

Q: In assembly, is branching sometimes the same as jumping? I had a look at the top answer here What is the difference between unconditional branch and unconditional jump (instructions in MIPS)?
It says that branches allow for conditions, and so the format of the instruction is different to a jump which is unconditional.
However, I've seen jumps such as jl and je, which use cmp before to set the conditional flags, and so it seems to me that those jumps would behave the same as a branch, which would lessen the difference of a branch to a jump. So could I consider for instructions such as jl and je as a type of branch instruction in some regard? I fail to see the difference except from the format, but it doesn't seem to be significant if we are considering execution.
I am asking specifically because it has been stated that I need to use a branch, however, every algorithm I see in godbolt seems to mostly consist of jumps, so it seems impossible to get a branch without coding it myself, which isn't something that we have done in this module so I don't have the ability to do so.

A: There's a difference between what "branch" and "jump" mean generally and how a specific CPU architecture might use these words in their instruction mnemonics.  The question you linked is specific to the MIPS CPU architecture, and so the answers only address how "branch" and "jump" are used in the names of MIPS instructions. Other CPU architectures can use these words differently when naming there instructions.
The distinction between "branch" and "jump"
Often the terms "branch" and "jump" are used interchangeably, but when they're used distinctively generally a branch instruction is an instruction that changes the program counter (PC) depending on whether the result of some test is true or not.  The PC is either set to the destination address specified by the instruction or is left unchanged and the following instruction is executed as normal.  A jump instruction simply always sets the PC to the destination.  In other words, branches are conditional, jumps are unconditional.
This distinction reflects the ordinary English use of the words, where a "branch in the road" implies a choice of two different alternatives, while a jump doesn't imply a choice.
CPU specific instruction naming conventions
However, in a lot of contexts you see "branch" or "jump" used without distinction, or even given the opposite meaning, reflecting how the specific CPU architecture under discussion names its instructions.  Not all CPU instructions sets name their instructions following the definition given above.  The MIPS instruction is good example one that does, so that's why the answers in the question you linked use the same definition.   MIPS branch instructions, all starting with the letter B, are conditional, while MIPS jump instructions, all starting with the letter J, are unconditional.
However there are no ARM instructions with the word "jump" in their name.  Both conditional branch and unconditional jump instructions are named branches and start with the letter B.  In fact the plain "branch" instruction is just called B in both the unconditional and conditional forms.  Suffixes are added to make the B instruction conditional instead of unconditional, but these same suffixes can be added to almost any instruction to make it conditional.
The ARM instruction set has a very big exception to this, however.  Confusingly, because ARM treats the PC register like a general purpose register almost any instruction can set the PC, meaning ARM effectively has a large number of branch/jump instructions without "jump" or "branch" in their names (eg. mov pc, r4 addeq pc, #1234, etc.).  Note that modern ARM implementations restrict how the PC register can be used in a well defined manner outside a small set of cases where it makes sense.
The x86 instruction set is just the opposite, there are no instructions with "branch" in their name.  Both conditional branches and unconditional jump instructions are named jumps and start with the letter J.  The exception here are the instructions used to implement subroutine calls, they use "call" or "return" in their names depending on their function rather than jump.
Other CPU architectures may follow completely different naming conventions, like having "branch" instructions use relative offsets and "jump" instructions use absolute addresses for the destination.
Only context can disambiguate
In a lot of cases which word people use will reflect how the CPU instructions they're using are named.  An ARM programmer will often exclusively talk about branches, while an x86 programmer will describe the equivalent instructions as jumps. Knowing the context these words are being used in is often necessary to disambiguate them.  For example, a reference to a branch in x86 code is probably talking about a conditional branch using one of the Jcc instructions, and not a JMP or CALL instruction.  A similar reference in ARM code could refer to any of the ARM "branch" instructions (B, BL, BX, BLX, BXJ) whether they're conditional or not, or whether they're used to implement subroutine calls.
So if someone is talking about branches and jumps, making a distinction between them, then they probably mean conditional branches and unconditional jumps.  In other cases the two worlds might be used interchangeably without intending to make a distinction between them. You'll have consider the context to figure out the intended meaning. Of course, in a lot of cases the conditional/unconditional distinction won't matter anyways.
