Pam Spaulding: Your character, sculptor Jodi Lerner, is involved with The L Word anchor character Bette Porter. What drew you to this character and what do you think her impact has been on the show?
Marlee Matlin: The character was unlike anyone I've had a chance to play before; an artist with strong opinions who happens to be gay. I've always asked for the opportunity to play strong female characters and when I had a chance to watch my first "L Word" episode, I was fascinated how this was a show about women and not necessarily just about lesbians. I had heard that the issues with being lesbian and deaf might be touched upon and as far as I knew, this had never been done before in either TV or film. I was eager to be part of a groundbreaking character and jumped on board immediately.
PS: You said in an interview that the L Word scripts are "not like any I've done." How so, and how is the dynamic different from the other sets you've been on (such as The West Wing)?
MM: On The West Wing, I played a pollster whose job it was to spit out statistics and numbers at the expense of revealing her character. There was a great dynamic with other characters on the show but there wasn't much in the way of showing the audience who she was and what made her tick, particularly after Aaron Sorkin left the show. On The L Word, my character goes through a whole range of emotions and we have an opportunity to see what makes Jodi tick. And the dynamic between women that we see in everyday life but which seems to be missing in a lot of Films and TV shows is right there on The L Word. I love working in that kind of setting. There are women producers, women writers, women directors and the cast is practically all women. There is no other show on TV which represents the range of women so well as The L Word.
PS: In one episode of The L Word, during an intimate scene between Jodi and Bette, there was an interesting use of both sound, silence and camera angles to help convey to the audience the verbal and non-verbal communication that occurs between the characters during such a scene when one can hear and the other cannot — it's something that one normally doesn't think about if you aren't deaf. How did you feel about the scene and did you have any input in its portrayal onscreen?
MM: I think that's a testament to how the writers "got" Jodi. When the season was being formulated in the writers' room, I was invited in to give some input on what it's like to be deaf. The writers and Ilene were able to process it right there. They explained to me that a lot of the issues related to deafness are many of the same issues related to the LBGT community but that deafness brought a fresh perspective. I liked that. When it came time to filming scenes between deaf and hearing characters, their sensitivity and understanding of issues related to deafness came into play and they were able to create things that had not been done on TV before. What a fantastic feeling that was for me to see it on the screen as only I could've imagined but that other writers and filmakers were never able to articulate.
PS: What has the feedback been like from the 1) the deaf community, 2) the deaf LGBT community, 3) the general LGBT and straight audiences to your role on the show? Have you noticed any interesting or different reactions among those groups that stand out?
MM: I think it's been positive but I don't read the boards really to get the specifics. The deaf community members I've met since my episodes have aired have been very positive and the LGBT community members who are deaf have both been very supportive. I've gotten a few letters from people in the straight community who complained that I am sullying my wholesome reputation as a mom and wife of a cop by playing a gay character but I don't listen to them just as I don't listen to people who don't understand that deaf people can do anything except hear.
PS: SLDN is saluting The L Word for its portrayal of life under Don't Ask, Don't Tell for one of its characters (Tasha) and its impact on some of the characters — politically and socially. Given the fact that the DADT policy is making headlines of late, with the comments by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Peter Pace (that homosexuality is "immoral"), what do you think about the debate over this issue of lesbians and gay men being able to openly serve their country? Is the country ready to have a healthy discussion about this, in your opinion?
MM: I think it's healthy only because it exposes the real dirty secret that's out there: that prejudice and discrimination against LGBT members of the military is still out there even if they think it can be resolved with a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. It's time to end the policy and let LGBT serve without having to hide because the consequences of silence are far worse than dealing with the truth. The fact that the Joint Chiefs of Staff expressed his opinion about gays in the military while gay men and women are serving in Iraq got little criticism from those in charge didn't even cause a ripple (when any other sort of criticism of our troops would never be tolerated) by policy makers was evident of a maddening double standard. It's time for the policy to change and in some weird way, I'm glad Pace said what he said because you can't heal a wound if you keep it bandaged up too long. Open it up for all to see and let the healing begin, that's what I say.
PS: My partner is an audiologist and she works with children in a local public school system. As you know, medical advances (both in hearing aid technology and with cochlear implants) have made it possible for more and more children with hearing loss who would have normally taken a traditional path of socialization and education — using sign language to move to hearing-based language acquisition. Some in the deaf community see that as having a overall negative impact on deaf culture. What are your thoughts on this? The larger society is woefully undereducated about the conflicts and issues raised.
MM: It's a matter of individual opinion and more than anything I find it distressing when both sides complain loudly when an individual or parent makes a personal choice as to communication / language acquisition choices. Parents usually know what's best for their children and whether it's sign or speech, hearing aids or cochlear implants, no one has a right to tell them how to raise their children. At the same time, I would hope that parents and individuals can make informed choices and that each side makes themselves as available as possible so as not to polarize and create confusion. I believe all modalities should be used in communication because that's how I was raised. If someone disagrees with me, that's fine, as long as they don't try to shove it down my throat (or in my ear!) and try to diminish my viewpoint or treat me as I need to be "fixed." The Deaf Community spent over 100 years having decisions being made "for" them by hearing people who had no interest in the needs and desires of deaf people. It's pretty clear that they react they way they do when hearing people today try to tell them what they think about how deaf children should be raised. The Deaf Community needs to make those choices themselves and it's up to hearing people to respect that. It was an issue nicely highlighted in The L Word episode when Jodi tells Bette pretty much that Jodi can make her own decisions without Bette feeling the need to control what Jodi hears and what Jodi understands. That's why I love The L Word so much. Ilene and the rest of the cast and crew GET IT!

Early Stages of Alzheimer's Disease May Pose Risk of Financial Problems
By Traci Pedersen
People in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease before diagnosis face a greater risk of adverse financial outcomes, according to a new study published in the journal Health Economics.
The researchers say this is likely the consequence of compromised decision-making when managing money, in addition to exploitation and fraud by others.
Alzheimer's disease isn't usually diagnosed until symptoms are severe, and its progression typically involves a multi-year process of cognitive decline.
"Previous studies show that people in the very early stages of Alzheimer's lose financial capacity; that is, their ability to manage their checkbook, to pay bills on time, to spend in ways that are consistent with the values they had in the past," said lead author, health economist Carole Roan Gresenz, Ph.D., interim dean for Georgetown University's School of Nursing & Health Studies.
In this study, Gresenz and her team wanted to know more about that impact. "What happens to financial household outcomes during that period of cognitive decline prior to diagnosis?"
To find the answer, the researchers merged data from two sources: the Health and Retirement Study, a national survey of Americans over age 50 which includes questions about households' financial assets and liabilities; and Medicare claims.
"These combined data allow us to track backwards from the date of diagnosis to figure out what was happening to households financially prior to diagnosis," Gresenz said. "What we found was that households in which someone is in the early stage of the disease are vulnerable to large reductions in liquid assets such as savings, money market, and checking accounts."
The study also found evidence that these households are likely to have a reduction in net wealth during that time period.
"The findings are concerning because these adverse financial outcomes are occurring just prior to when substantial resource demands will be placed on these families as they grapple with costs related to caregiving needs," Gresenz said.
She says the findings also speak to the potentially important role of financial institutions in reducing the exposure of vulnerable elderly to poor outcomes.
The researchers are now working on matching credit data — which includes financial outcomes measured for more refined time periods — with Medicare data.
"We want to understand more about the specific types of financial decisions and choices that underlie these findings as well as to explore whether financial information offers the potential for early identification of individuals who are in the initial stages of Alzheimer's disease and who should be prioritized for additional clinical screening," Gresenz said.

Mir Fendereski (Persian: میرفِنْدِرِسْکی) (1562–1640) was a Persian philosopher, poet and mystic of the Safavid era.  His full name is given as Mir Abulqasim Mirfendereski (Persian: میرابوالقاسم میرفندرسکی), and he is famously known as MirFendereski.  He lived for a while in Isfahan at the same time as Mir Damad, spent a great part of his life in India among yogis and Zoroastrians, and learnt from them.  He was patronized by both the Safavid and Mughal courts.  The famous Persian philosopher Mulla Sadra also studied under him.

Life
Mir Fendereski remains a mysterious and enigmatic figure about whom we know very little.  He was probably born around 1562-1563 and died age of eighty.He gained a reputation of asceticism at the court of Shah Abbas, Isfahan. He is said to have journeyed throughout India, following which he became a vegetarian and refused to go on pilgrimage to Mecca, lest he should be forced to sacrifice sheep.

Mir Fendereski was trained in the works of Avicenna as he taught the Avicennian medical and philosophical compendiums of al-Qanun (The Canon) and Al-Shifa (The Cure) in Isfahan.

Works

A number of works are attributed to him, although these have not been studied in detail. In his extensive commentary on the Persian translation of the Mahabharata (Razm-Nama in Persian) and Nizam al-Din Panipati's rendition of the Yoga Vasistha, he complains about the quality of the translation, which implies that he was familiar with Sanskrit. He was among a group of Persians at the Mughal court to engage with Indian thought.

Some of his most famous works are "Resâle Sanaie", "Resâleh dar kimiyâ" and "Šahre ketabe mahârat", in Persian language. He was also a poet and composed a long philosophical ode (qaṣida ḥekmiya) in imitation of and response to the Persian Ismaʿili thinker Nasir Khusraw.  His best-known work is titled al-Resāla al-ṣenāʿiya, an examination of the arts and professions within an ideal society. The importance of this treatise is that it combines a number of genres and subject areas: political and ethical thought, mirrors for princes, metaphysics, and the critical subject of the classifications of the sciences.

How to Increase Your Odds of Music Business Success by 20,000
Bob Leggitt | Sunday, 3 July 2016 |
Okay, so you've probably seen the title, suspected it was empty clickbait, and taken a look just to marvel at the audacity of the post. But actually, this is not empty clickbait. It's an entirely genuine article, which is going to explain exactly how musicians routinely, and devastatingly, compromise their chances of success, whilst others render high achievement almost inevitable. It has nothing to do with competence, talent, or practice. The odds of success or failure are in fact primarily determined by two very simple decisions, which most musicians make instinctively, right at the very start of their journey.
Famous musicians have to make these decisions, just like the rest of us. But guess what… Famous musicians very often owe their fame to the fact that at the key moment of decision, they chose differently. Unlike the rest of us, they set instinct aside, and instead based their choices on logic. Indeed, famous musicians have often re-taken their key decisions multiple times, to fit the evolving nature of the picture ahead. In doing this, some have not only made success more likely – they've made it a virtual certainty.
So what are these mystical decisions? And how can they possibly increase a musician's odds of success times 20,000 – or even more? Well, the decisions are:
Which musical genre do I select?
What will be my role within that genre?
Most of us don't even consider these questions. We come into the arena inspired. We love a particular type of music, and we've seen/heard a sound we want to emulate. Perhaps, for example, we were mind-blown by the technical lead guitar playing of a specific rock icon. From that point forward, the two questions above were taken straight off the agenda. Our decisions were automatically made. We were going into the genre of heavy metal, as a lead guitarist.
Of course, this is what millions of musicians do. The decisions don't typically involve logical reasoning. They make themselves. But realistically, they shouldn't. Because in choosing to take a role that an enormous number of other musicians have taken, in a genre which is not only saturated with supply, but also relatively limited in demand, we have to fight incredibly negative odds of success. Statistically, as a young guy looking to succeed in music, you're many times more likely to achieve as a vocalist in a boy band, than as a guitarist in a heavy metal band. Why? Because commercial demand for boy bands is much higher than for heavy metal bands, and the supply is much lower.
THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY
In 1981, Cheryl Baker (pictured from 1982 BBC TV footage above) became part of the Eurovision winning group Bucks Fizz, who went on to be one of the most commercially successful pop acts in early '80s Britain.
But believe it or not, the 1981 Eurovision campaign that launched Cheryl's stardom was not her first. She'd been afforded three separate opportunities to go on TV and bid for that title. Given that she had no existing public profile or track record of pop supremacy, this could be considered truly remarkable. But it could, alternatively, be asserted that she simply understood the logic of opportunity. And that as a result, she increased the odds of her success to something bordering on inevitable.
Three years before the Bucks Fizz triumph, Cheryl had performed in the Eurovision final with a group called Co Co. The outcome on that occasion was not so magnificient, and even though the single was a UK hit, history rarely recalls the group. But even that wasn't Cheryl's first crack at Eurovision. As part of the same group she'd narrowly missed reaching the international climax of the contest another two years previously.
These nuggets of trivia serve as a great illustration of how Cheryl Baker's choices in music optimised her chances of success. She sang in commercially-focused, content-driven pop groups, with a huge target audience and a very deliberate, team approach to meeting that audience's desires. It's one of those roles that doesn't look very glamorous until it hits the jackpot. But the odds of it hitting the jackpot are comparatively high. Conversely, many singers would want to front a band, to call the shots, to write the songs, to work in a 'cooler' genre… But what they'd be missing is that all of this enormously reduces their chances of hitting the jackpot. It's flawed instinct above logic.
Of course, I wouldn't want to play down the fact that Cheryl Baker brought with her a raft of key attributes that matched her perfectly with her role. And neither would I want to under-stress the potency of Bucks Fizz. Partnered with the songwriting and production skills of Andy Hill, the group consistently delivered modern pop classics, bursting with musical content and value.
But the odds of success do dramatically increase in situations where the demand is high, and the supply is relatively limited. Indeed, the odds of Cheryl Baker succeeding were so high, that she nearly did it three times! And if you count a Eurovision final appearance and a top 20 hit as success in itself, she actually did do it twice.
She's not alone either. This is actually quite common in instances where musicians make the right choices. There's frequently a catalogue of near misses or mini successes in the period before a famous artist breaks really big.
The Specials (pictured from 1979 BBC TV footage above) effectively invented their own genre of music: Two-Tone. Such genres or sub-genres commonly sprang up early in the post-punk era, as the music business, in the UK at least, was fertile for rapid evolution and change. In the interim, industry risk-aversion and the Internet have all but killed off this kind of opportunity. But The Specials remain a perfect example of a band increasing the odds of success to the point where they had literally no competition.
ADAPTING TO SUIT OPPORTUNITY
I recently wrote an article about the early days of UK punk rock, and spent quite some time researching how the scene developed. One of the most noticeable elements of the scene's startup phase was the almost 'blank canvas' approach the musicians took to their roles. Not only were some willing to switch instruments at the drop of a hat, they were also ready to instantly turn their backs on their influences, and create for the new, untapped market. Some of them were influenced by 'dinosaur rock', but if they'd insisted on playing it, in an environment of saturated supply and diminishing demand, would we know anything about them today? I'd strongly suggest not.
The early punks capitalised on an opportunity. Skyrocketing demand, versus supply so limited that, initially, there wasn't even a record fans could go out and buy.
There exist many other stories about bands in trend-driven waves of success suddenly changing direction to suit the market. You can call it jumping on a bandwagon, and I suppose that's what it is, but the way a perfectly-timed direction change increases the odds of success is almost immeasurable. The difficult part is persuading a whole band that bandwagon-hopping is the right policy. Most musicians will reject the idea. That's why bandwagon-hopping is so incredibly effective for the musicians who do embrace it.
Just compare that situation where musicians embrace a newly identified public appetite, with the stale state of play in which everyone is treading the same, done-to-death ground. Every other musician we discover online today is trying to succeed in the field of hip hop or an offshoot thereof. I'm not questioning the validity of the genre. But what is the wisdom of trying to make a career out of a genre with unlimited, grossly saturated supply?
Hip hop, 'bedroom-electro', and guitar-driven rock artists are throwing themselves into random people's faces on social media, and hardly anyone will even take the time to listen. There's no interest. Not because the artists are no good. But because the output of these genres is now so relentless that it's become tantamount to sonic spam. We're all completely desensitised to it, and we've come to equate its persistent delivery system with nuisance rather than joy.
How has this happened? Because musicians tend to project, and select the option that most suits themselves – rather than the option that suits a potential audience. Us musicians are not typically business-minded. Very few of us research public taste, appetite, or opportunity…
STOP SECOND-GUESSING AND USE RESEARCH
Over twenty years ago, whilst I was working in a shop, the staff decided to do a survey of customers' favourite musical styles. The shop's function wasn't related to music. We just thought the survey would help us get to know customers better. Prompt them to talk about their likes and dislikes. Before starting the survey, we tried to predict what our customers' most popular style would be. None of us guessed right. We predicted we'd get a mix of heavy rock, rap, and cheesy, manufactured or over-produced chart pop. The most popular genre among our customers, by some considerable distance, was in fact reggae.
This brought about a poignant moment for me. The first musical style I'd selected to play in my mid teens was reggae, but I'd steadily been persuaded away from that style. Not by the buying public – but by other musicians. At the conclusion of this survey several years later, I realised that most musicians make the wrong decisions. They often project their love of playing a style onto the public. "It's what feels the best to play, so it must therefore be what the public wants to listen to." That could not be further from the truth.
SWITCHING INSTRUMENTS
So, can switching instruments (your role within a genre) really make that much difference to the odds of success? It can, but the amount of increase depends on circumstance. Moving from lead guitar to bass will statistically create greater demand – simply because there are a lot fewer bass players than guitarists, and most bands with a guitarist also need a bassist. But switching from guitar to bass when you've spotted an actual, cast iron working opportunity for a bassist, will of course have a much greater impact on the odds.
This is what it's all about. Playing to the requirements of the public, rather than slavishly sticking by your personal musical ideals.
You may, alternatively, choose to move from lead guitar to trumpet and team up with other brass players to form a horn section. Brass is not a traditional rock/pop default in the way a bass guitar is, but it's still a common feature, and the supply of horn sections is, comparatively, very limited. Thus, you'd expect a far less congested pathway to the upper echelons of the business. You have to be good, and professional, and deliver what's on the brief. But like for like, you're still much better off when there's substantial demand and very little compatible supply.
SWITCHING GENRE
The more drastic impact on one's odds of success comes, however, with the choice of genre. Google finds over thirty million results for "hip hop" on Soundcloud. Thirty million! That's some competition! It finds just 1,580 for "girl band". That's nearly 20,000 times more "hip hop" results than "girl band" results. Statistically, you might say, it's 20,000 times harder to succeed as a hip hop artist, than as part of a girl band. Whether that's true would of course depend on the demand as well as the supply, but it's clear there's a monumental difference in odds. What's that?... You're a guy?… No problem. "Boy band" results still number less than 5,000. That affords you comparatively good odds of success, if you're compatible, and good.
You may not be inspired by the idea of being a boy band member, and you may love the street cred cool of being the next Kanye West. But realistically, your statistical odds of becoming the next Kanye are so remote that it's barely worth bothering. The boy band might be a reluctant choice, but it's the logical one. Mathematically, it's the obvious choice.
Like many other musicians, I hate business. I hate mathematics. I hate the thought of acceeding to supply and demand. But I also recognise that the laws of business dictate commercial success to a far greater extent than does talent. If, on a radio station's playlist, there is one space for a rap artist, and ten million are trying to fill that space, then statistically, filling that space is more or less like trying to win the lottery. Someone will fight those odds and win. But nine million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine, will lose. It doesn't matter how talented they all are; if there's one space, there's only one winner. That's that.
Achievers in the world of music often think in these terms. What they end up doing is often not their first, instinctive choice. But it's the choice that makes them their fortune. Worldwide fame serves as pretty good compensation.

[ARCHIVED] Magic Valley Regional Airport Seeks Volunteers for 75th Anniversary Airshow
The Magic Valley Regional Airport will celebrate its 75th Anniversary in 2023 with an airshow, and its Airshow Planning Committee is searching for volunteers to help organize the event. The 2023 airshow is expected to feature the Blue Angles and other exciting airshow performances.
The airshow will require a tremendous amount of preparation to bring the Blue Angels and other performances back to Magic Valley Regional Airport. The Magic Valley Regional Airport will be accepting names of individuals who are interested in forming an Airshow Planning Committee.
The committee will include five to seven volunteer members, who will work in conjunction with the Air Show Director and Magic Valley Regional Airport Advisory Board to make recommendations to Twin Falls City Council and Twin Falls County Commissioners on the planning, development and implementation of an airshow in 2023.
Individuals who are interested in joining the Airshow Planning Committee, or who would like to volunteer in other aspects of the airshow, should contact Steve Kolar, Air Show Director, at airmvorg@gmail.com

Q: Permissibility, permittivity and the one-way speed of light Recently I came across a video, which states that it is impossible to experimentally measure the one-way speed of light. It was said that any attempts at directly measuring the one-way speed were actually measuring the two-way speed of light.
But I believe that the one way speed of light, being a scalar(independent of reference frame) arises from Electrodynamics. Classical Electrodynamics states that the speed of light must be $$c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_o\epsilon_o}}.$$
And hence if the one-way speed of light has to be a scalar, it means that both $\mu_o$ and $\epsilon_o$ have to be scalars.
My question is that if there is experimental proof of $\mu_o$ and $\epsilon_o$ being scalars, and if there are such experiments, can they be considered as proof for the one-way speed of light to be a scalar.

A:
But I believe that the one way speed of light, being a scalar(independent of reference frame) arises from Electrodynamics. Classical Electrodynamics states that the speed of light must be

You are saying that it is a scalar and independent of frames, but this thing cannot be said by using only electrodynamics. You have to supplement Maxwell's equations with some other kinematical laws to speak about this. For example
$$\frac{E^2-(pc)^2}{c^4}=m^2 $$
is a scalar according to special relativity but it is not a scalar according to Newton's laws (supplemented with Galilean relativity). Using Newton's laws(supplemented with Galilean relativity) we expect that the 1-way and 2-way speed's both should be same. But Newton's laws are inconsistent with Maxwell's equations. To make it consistent we need to use special relativity. But due to the way we define synchronisation in special relativity we cannot find the 1-way speed of light.

My question is that if there is experimental proof of $μ_o$ and $ϵ_o$ being scalars, and if there are such experiments, can they be considered as proof for the one-way speed of light to be a scalar.

Even if we know that Maxwell's equations are 100% correct we cannot expect that 1-way speed of light is equal to 2-way speed of light.
Edit: If you are thinking that since electromagnetic wave equations are of the form $$\ddot{\textbf{E}}=c^2\nabla^2 {\textbf{E}}$$
$$\ddot{\textbf{B}}=c^2\nabla^2 {\textbf{B}}$$
and these 2 can be obtained from Maxwell's equations in vacuum for $c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0\epsilon_0}}$ then you are already assuming that the wave is such that the 1-way speed and 2-way speed are both same. Since the wave equations are linear we can add several solution of it and find a solution moving at different speed. For example if we add two wave equations which are moving in opposite directions, we can get a solution which is a standing wave, that doesn't move at the speed $c$. So even though we got these wave equations directly form Maxwell's equations we can't say that it admits only solutions which are moving such that the 1-way speed of light is $c$. Of course all such solutions satisfy the above wave equations. But they are not the only solutions. And it is perfectly possible that the solutions which corresponds to the physical electromagnetic waves don't have 1-way speed as $c$ but satisfy the above wave equations.

What a privileged to witness another Billy T nominee in the form of Guy Montgomery who 'Presents a Succinct and Concise Summary of How He Feels About Certain Things'.
I did not realise he was part of the Cadbury Dream Factory team until an audience member yelled it out but I googled it, and sure enough he is. They do some great work that bunch. We also got to see him without a moustache, which was weird because his lip wig really frames his face well.
Guy Montgomery is a dynamic performer who really gets into it. He shouts and goes red, but is simultaneously succeeding in being hilarious. Beware those who like to have a chat or check their phone, not only are you being rude, but he will own you for it.
Throughout his show Guy Montgomery appears to be winging it, but that is all part of his observational and anecdotal style. He delves into some topics that I would have loved him to elaborate on, but it probably would have offended many of those in the crowd, especially those wearing suits. He touches on the downsides of being a non-smoker, and has some great advice on how to motivate joggers.
I don't know if Guy is from Wellington, but he does have an intimate knowledge of the universal uniform of the hipster barista which led me to realise that baristas have been frequently popping up in comedians routines during this festival – are they studying their habits? Should they be worried?
Guy is a sports fan, and like any sports fan who dabbles in stand-up comedy, he had a hilariously unique take on the post game captain's speech. It involved some philosophical introspection into the professionalism of modern sport. I mentioned that I thought he was from Wellington, and i may be wrong but he certainly dresses like he is. His shoes were like so retro, and I love what he does with a baggy denim shirt.
Guy's routine is hard to describe, so best get down and sexily check him out. His show is at the Basement Theatre and I have said it thrice now, the Basement Theatre is hard-out the bomb, so go and see some kiwi comedy there. Choice.
Guy Montgomery will be performing at the Basement Theatre until Saturday 17 May.

Bradley P. Wyble, Howard Bowman; The attentional blink reflects the time course of token binding, computational modeling and empirical data. Journal of Vision 2005;5(8):116. doi: 10.1167/5.8.116.
A previously published computational model of the Attentional Blink (Wyble and Bowman, 2004) has given rise to predictions about the time course of the U-shaped T2 performance curve that is characteristic of the AB. Specifically, we posit that the blink curve is a hallmark of limitations in the temporal resolution of the binding of working memory tokens to types. In our model, lag-1 sparing results from a temporal window approximately 150 msec in length during which multiple items can be bound to the same token. Recovery of the blink occurs when a second token becomes available for binding.
In testing these predictions, we have performed two AB experiments. The first experiment compared the shape of AB curves for RSVP streams in the style of Chun and Potter (1995), presented at either 10 or 20 items/sec. If the AB is the result of temporal processes, the shape of the curve should be constant with respect to time. In our data, the blink curves had the same shape with respect to the time lag between T1 and T2, not the number of items. Specifically, in the faster presentation stream, we observed lag-2 sparing, maximal depth at lag 6 and recovery by lag 12.
Our second experiment involved presenting subjects with a letter pair for each of T1 and T2. If sparing involves binding T1 and T2 into a single conglomerate token, there should be a high percentage of binding errors at lag 1, in which one element of T1 is swapped with one element of T2. This prediction was confirmed, subjects made many binding errors at lag-1, and returned to baseline levels of error by lag-2.
This work details our continuing efforts to use the AB paradigm to explore the temporal structure of working memory. These data support our theoretical position that the AB stems from limitations in the consolidation of working memory tokens. We present these data in the context of a previously published connectionist model of the AB.


I love reading about essential tips and tricks for making Gmail better and what better place to look for new tips than from former Google employees? A little while back, former Googler Rodolphe Dutel wrote an interesting list of Gmail tips that featured both some familiar tricks and some new ones that I'd never heard of before. I'll go through some of the most interesting ones below.
One of my biggest sources of clutter in my Gmail inbox is often from commerce-related email subscriptions that seem to pile up overnight. Because of this, Dutel recommends using a special tool called Unroll.me that lets you unsubscribe to any subscription emails with only one click and also lets you combine all your favorite subscriptions into one email. Both of these features should go a long way toward reducing the number of messages in your inbox and make it much easier for you to get to zero.
Another really interesting suggestion is using a Chrome extension called Inbox Pause that will actually stop the delivery of new messages to your Gmail inbox until you're ready for them. This will let you work free of distractions for a limited time, although there's definitely a danger that you might miss an important message during the time you've paused your email delivery.
Finally, Dutel recommends a Chrome extension called Gmail Offline that lets you read and respond to your Gmail messages even if you don't currently have Internet connectivity.
After first start-up, Gmail Offline will automatically synchronize messages and queued actions anytime Chrome is running and an Internet connection is available. More than just an offline app, the streamlined user interface, based off Gmail's popular tablet interface, provides extremely fast response time with a pure, email focused experience.
In other words, it sounds like the tool lets you write responses in the app that automatically send out the minute you've regained connection to the web.
Dutel's post contains a lot of other interesting tips for Gmail users — check it out for yourself here.

American Radicalism (Editorial)
The Chicago Foreign Language Press Survey was published in 1942 by the Chicago Public Library Omnibus Project of the Works Progress Administration of Illinois. The purpose of the project was to translate and classify selected news articles that appeared in the foreign language press from 1855 to 1938. The project consists of 120,000 typewritten pages translated from newspapers of 22 different foreign language communities of Chicago.

Foreign Language Press Survey
Illinois Staats-Zeitung -- January 20, 1875
In Germany to be radical meant, and still means, to apply all one's strength and resources in opposing and trying to overthrow the existing form of government [(Monarchy)]. Most of the so-called "Forty-eighters" were radicals in this sense of the word. [Translator's note: The author refers to the leaders of the German Revolution of 1848. Among them were Hecker, Sigel, Schurz, Rosenthal, Resencranz, Annecke, Ostermann, Solomon, and others who served the North during the Civil War.] In America they did not find the object against which their radicalism was directed. However, slavery offered itself as a substitute, and they opposed it with remarkable success. Since slavery has been abolished, German radicalism has been idle, but has been seeking new fields of endeavor. Recently, it seems, German liberals wanted to import the fight which is being waged in Europe, between Germany and the Vatican, to America, in order to have opportunity for following their 2mad inclinations to destroy.
However, there are also American radicals who are opposed to our form of government, and are bent on establishing a system that is the direct opposite of the one we are now maintaining, when the opportunity to do so presents itself. In Germany the radicals demanded that the monarchy be abolished; American radicals are demanding that universal suffrage be abolished. The two movements are similar, inasmuch as they seek to destroy historical institutions, and that certainly requires moral courage. To revile kings and emperors while one is in America, requires no more courage than it does to revile republics when one is in Germany; but when an American tells our tyrannical dictators, "the people," that they are incompetent, that they cannot rule themselves,--well, no honest person can call him a coward.
In this sense the Chicago Times is a very radical publication. For some time it has made revolutionary attacks on the prevailing majority rule, which is based upon universal suffrage. The substitute for our present 3American form of government which it recommends is nothing less than German imperialism. The Chicago Times would like to have the rights of the people limited exclusively to the election of a representative body [Reichstag], and advocates that the election of all executive, administrative, and judicial officers be abolished. All these "servants of the people" ought to be appointed; but, for the present, the Chicago Times does not state who should appoint them. However it would not be inconsistent of the Times, if it demanded that the respective officers not even be elected indirectly-- in other words, if it demanded that some of the government offices not be filled by popular election.
While declaring its reasons for its radical demands, the Times makes several malicious sidethrusts at the Germans, which is nothing unusual. We shall make a reply at some more suitable time. At present it is our object to present only the fundamental ideas of the Times as a noteworthy sign of our age, and anyone who has intercourse with educated Americans knows that they often express the very same ideas.
"To elect someone" says Parton, "does not mean merely to cast a ballot into a box, but to express an opinion". Ignorance, however, is unable to express an opinion. The Times has this to say on this point: "Self-government means self-support, self-control, and self-guidance. The individual who has not the self-supporting, self-guiding, and self-controlling faculty, is not fit for, nor capable of self-government. He is not a fit or safe person to be entrusted with the elective franchise in any political society."
Ignorance is not mere illiteracy. Some of the most illiterate people are among those most capable of self-support, self-control, and self-guidance; are among those most capable of forming intelligent and reliable opinions upon all matters of public or private concern. Many who are popularly called "educated" are among the least capable in these respects.
As a rule women are incapable of forming trustworthy decisions on political or public issues, although they are qualified by "education" to devour 5"society literature" by the shipload. There are exceptions, of course, but, in general, "educated" women possess less true voting faculty than the most illiterate men.
In this respect they compare with those "educated" male bipeds whom Parton calls "the snobs of society, who turn up their noses at 'this voting, you know'; 'deuced nuisance, you know'; 'never voted in my life, you know'; 'and never shall, you know'". Like the lower class of Germans, called educated because they have acquired by machinery the arts of reading and writing, they are incapable of self-government; they need somebody to take care of and provide for them. This criticism is not meant to disparage the high social function of women; it is simply a statement of the fact, that, in general, women, irrespective of their literary attainments, lack the faculty of voting; and, lacking the faculty, they should not be permitted to do so in any representative state.
It is said that on the Sandwich Islands there is not a man, woman, or child who cannot read and write, most of them in two languages. According to our theorists who advocate compulsory schooling, the Kanakas should be a people eminently qualified to save our political institutions from ruin. They are, probably, no less qualified for that purpose than the "snobs of society" described by Mr. Parton, or the hordes of lower-class Germans and Scandinavians, who, though given an elementary education by state machinery, are less capable of self-guidance than the most "ignorant white trash" in the South, and not much more so than that class which, having just emerged from centuries of slavery, has been deemed by our "educated" politicians qualified to assume at once the highest political functions; or who, if not so qualified, can, it is thought, be made so by a few turns of a governmental schooling machine.
No prophetic instinct or power is necessary to predict that political institutions resting on such a foundation of ignorance, which prevails not only among the most illiterate, but also among the most "educated" schoolmasters 7and legislators, are predestined to "ruin". No state schooling machinery can possibly raise the stream higher than its source.
This writer advocates the only rational remedy. It is to diminish the source by "disfranchising ignorance". Illiteracy should be included in this ignorance disfranchised; but to disfranchise illiteracy alone is not sufficient. The ignorance that consists in lack of the faculty of honest self-support, self-control, and self-guidance is that which constitutes the unsafe, the impossible foundation of free representative institutions. This is the ignorance that must be disfranchised in order to avert the "ruin".
Some will say it is impractical and inexpedient. Practicability and expediency are not the issues. The question is the alternative: political downfall or disfranchisement of ignorance. No doubt, political destruction is both more practical and more expedient than the disfranchisement of ignorance. Our "educated" politicians prefer the former. But the disfranchisement of ignorance is not so impractical as many people think. There are many ways 8of establishing a suffrage qualification that would exclude not only the ignorance of illiteracy, but also the greater and more dangerous ignorance of incapacity.
One of the best and surest ways of excluding the evil consequences of ignorant balloting is to abolish it. The basis of representative government is the constitution of a representative body by free, popular election. At that point, in any really good form of representative government, the popular election business stops. The selection of executive, administrative, or judicial functionaries by popular ballot is no part of a truly republican or representative form of government. It is a poisonous outgrowth, borrowed by "educated" demagogues and jobhunters from the semibarbarous system called "democracy," of which history furnishes not a single example that has not proven to be a failure. It is literally and truly a relic of barbarism and, supplemented by the universal enfranchisement of ignorance and incapacity, will surely lead any nation to either barbarism or despotism. There are no good reasons to think that America will prove to be an exception to a rule 9that heretofore has been without a single exception.
This is the viewpoint of the Chicago Times on American radicalism. If a newspaper printed in Germany had published the article quoted from the Times, it would have evoked angry retorts from our people, about the "ignorance" of the "foreigners" and their "inability to understand American conditions". And yet, one cannot blame the people across the ocean for relying upon the judgment of a newspaper, which cannot be classed as a party organ, but speaks its mind, irrespective of parties or persons, though it may be guilty of unspeakable offenses against morality and decency. The views which it expressed concerning the effect of electing officers sound rather harsh; yet, in substance, they are not different from what hundreds of American newspapers have written for many years, although in somewhat more careful language, and with certain reservations. The same veiwpoint is expressed by the frequently heard complaint: "We have too many elections". However, it is questionable whether or not the general dissatisfaction with the present system of election will lead to a fundamental change.

Graphic design and story behind a new wine brand. How do you get an affluent clientele in Monaco to pay a premium price for a new Reisling Viognier wine? For this Italian producer, the starting point was to create a story around the provenance and develop a suitable graphic identity.
Our client. Located in the foothills of the Italian Alps, Bui Wines is owned and operated by an Italian-German husband-wife team. After transforming an old estate into their summer residence, they saw an opportunity to use the existing vineyard to craft a five-star Riesling Viognier white wine. The ambition? Let selected restaurants in their hometown of nearby Monaco offer this rare blend on the menu.
Our assignment. After getting to know the owners, we realized that their ambitions were very high. They wouldn't settle for anything but the very best. The wines would command a top price on the menu. If a particular vintage was not up to standard, it would never be sold in a Bui bottle. With this in mind, Open was asked to develop a story and graphic identity that would reflect this.
What we did. In line with the crisp, refreshing and yet elegant story they wanted to tell, we developed a bold and clean design program. The shape of roses, etched into an old stone fireplace in the main house, were used as a graphic element in the design program. The family name, BUI, was highlighted in elegant typography against a clean white background. This project is currently under development.

John Molony
The story of the Eureka Stockade, Australia's first and only armed rebellion for democratic rights.
Before dawn on 3 December 1854, colonial troopers at Ballarat attacked a group of gold miners who had thrown up a stockade in defiance and defence. Some diggers had guns, but many were unarmed; some twenty of them were killed, along with four troopers.
In the decades that followed, the truth of what happened that morning became obscured by partisans on both sides. For many years the Eureka Stockade was regarded as a shameful event and almost forgotten; more recently, it has been celebrated as a righteous stand against injustice.
John Molony's Eureka vividly recreates the story of Eureka and unravels the myths that have come to surround it.
This new edition of Molony's classic work, now beautifully illustrated with historic Eureka images, will be welcomed by everyone with an interest in the history of Australian democracy.
John Molony has been Professor of History and then Manning Clark Professor of Australian History at the Australian National University, Canberra (1975-91), Keith Cameron Professor of Australian History at University College Dublin (1991-93) and Foundation Research Professor of the Australian Catholic University (1993-96).

Mumbai-Gorakhpur Antodaya Express derails; no injuries reported


A year and a half ago (more or less), I went all in professionally on all things Diz Runs.
At that point in time, I still had a handful of personal training clients that I was working with on a regular basis.
One of those clients took me up on the option of continuing to write her workouts and serve as an online personal trainer.
Long story short, this woman has been pretty unhappy with her job since I started working with her some 4+ years ago.
A regular topic of conversation during her workouts was her venting about some shenanigans at her office.

QT: Is There an Actual Benefit to a Shakeout Run?
One workout that you'll see on most training plans, from one-size-fits-all to an actual good plan created by a coach, is the shakeout run.
I've put a shakeout run on the schedule of most of the athletes I coach over the years, so clearly I've bought into the need for doing a shakeout run the day before the race.
Curiously, there is no mention of doing a shakeout run in Be Ready on Race Day.
And I haven't actually done an easy run the day before a race since Pocatello.
So are shakeout runs really necessary? Or are they just one of those things that runners do because other runners do them, so we should probably do them?

Most runners (hopefully!) know that strength training is something that they should be doing.
Increased strength and muscular endurance are going to help you not only on race day, but they are also likely to help reduce your risk of developing a running-related injury.
It has come to my attention recently that there is a disconnect between knowing that strength training is a good thing and knowing what to do when it comes to getting stronger.
Over the next few months, I'm going to do several of these FAQ-style quick tip episodes dedicated to strength training.
Have a question or something you'd like me to clarify for you? Let me know!


The human brain predominantly relies on oxidative metabolism of glucose to meet its enormous energy requirements. The total amount of energy consumed by the brain can be indirectly measured by quantifying global cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption (CMRO2). CMRO2 is known to be closely related to neuronal functioning and hence can serve as an important marker of brain vitality and health. Accurate absolute CMRO2 quantification would enable detailed investigation of the neuro-metabolic-hemodynamic relationships underlying cerebral activation and pathology.
Despite the considerable utility and importance of determining absolute CMRO2, a robust and reliable method adaptable to clinical and functional applications is lacking. We propose a method for simultaneous measurement of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) with a high temporal resolution (∼30s at 3T). The former is quantified by using phase contrast MRI and the latter by MR susceptometry based oximetry. Fick's first law is used to determine CMRO2 from the above two parameters.
This thesis first explored the feasibility of using the proposed methodology for in-vivo CMRO2 quantification and tested the validity of the underlying model assumptions. The hemodynamic and metabolic measurements obtained in-vivo agreed well with previous literature results. Next, the accuracy of the proposed MR susceptometry based oximetry was evaluated against the clinically established gold standard (co-oximetry measurements) and the two methods showed excellent agreement. Further the sensitivity of the proposed method to detect physiologically expected changes in response to a stimulus (hypercapnia) was examined. In line with the known vasodilatory effect of hypercapnia, an increase in CBF and SvO2 was observed. However, no statistically significant change in CMRO2 was noted.
The method was then translated clinically in small pilot studies to investigate neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD) and adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD). In the CHD study, the MR measured hemodynamic parameters were cross validated with optical measurements and a significant association between post-operative CMRO2 and brain injury was observed. In the SCD study, chronic transfusions were associated with lower cerebral blood flows and oxygen extraction fractions. Both of these populations are at significant risk for cerebral ischemia, thus making quantification of cerebral hemodynamic and metabolic parameters valuable. Additional insights gained would provide greater understanding of the pathophysiology of these illnesses with implications for clinical management paradigms.
Lastly, we explored a quick T2 based method for determining oxygen saturation of blood. The method relies on complex difference subtraction of velocity encoded projections and unlike susceptometry based oximetry is not restricted by the vessel orientation with respect to main magnetic field or the need for surrounding reference tissue. The method demonstrated sensitivity to oxygenation differences between different cerebral territories (cortex vs. deep brain) as well as in response to a hypercapnic stimulus.

Members of US Congress urge President Obama to support Falun Gong practitioners in China
Congressional letter calls Falun Gong plight "one of the most unjust and cruel persecutions of our times."
"We applaud these members of Congress," says Falun Dafa Information Center spokesperson Mr. Erping Zhang, "for articulating in no uncertain terms that the United States government will not tolerate the arbitrary arrest, torture and death of Falun Gong practitioners — peaceful, law-abiding citizens — as a result of a systematic Communist Party-run campaign. We hope President Obama and his administration will heed their call."

We measured cholesterol at baseline from the two major HDL subfractions (larger, more buoyant HDL2 and smaller, denser HDL3) separated by density gradient ultracentrifugation in 4114 (mean age 53.8 years; 64% female) African American participants from the Jackson Heart Study and 818 (mean age 57.3 years, 52% female) predominantly Caucasian participants from the Framingham Offspring Cohort Study. Multivariable adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for HDL-C and its subclasses were derived from Cox proportional hazards regression models to estimate associations with incident CHD events including myocardial infarction, CHD death, and revascularization. Analyses were performed for each cohort separately and as a combined population.
In models adjusted for cardiovascular risk factors for the combined population, HDL3-C (HR 0.76 per SD increase; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.62-0.94; p = 0.01), rather than HDL2-C (HR 0.88 per SD; 95% CI, 0.72-1.09; p = 0.24) drove the inverse association of HDL-C (HR 0.79 per SD; 95% CI, 0.64-0.98; p = 0.03) with CHD. Similar associations were seen in multivariable analyses within each cohort including after adjusting for apolipoprotein A1 in the Jackson Heart Study.

The Likud
Leader: Benjamin Netanyahu
Current Seats: 30
Government/Opposition in Last Knesset: Government
Supports/Opposes Two-State Solution: Opposes
Likud is Israel's largest right-wing party. In 1977, under Menachem Begin's leadership, the party broke the three-decade electoral monopoly of the Labor Party and its antecedents. Since then, it has been a dominant force in Israeli politics, returning to lead the government under prime ministers Yitzhak Shamir, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Ariel Sharon.
Last year, the Likud Central Committee overwhelmingly voted to endorse de facto annexation of West Bank Area C.
The party was formed as a union of several smaller right-wing factions. The party's primary philosophy includes a more hardline approach toward territorial concessions for the Palestinians and a commitment to economic liberalism (the latter tenet has mattered less as an ideological determinant since the privatization of Israel's economy). While Benjamin Netanyahu has offered tepid endorsement of a two-state solution (which he has since partially walked back), the party officially opposes the creation of a Palestinian state. Last year, the Likud Central Committee overwhelmingly voted to endorse de facto annexation of West Bank Area C.
Should Benjamin Netanyahu win this election, he will almost certainly surpass David Ben-Gurion's records as Israel's longest serving Prime Minister.
Because Likud is a large party, some members hold conflicting views on different policy platforms. Dissident factions have previously split off from the party, including Herut-National Movement (not to be confused with Menachem Begin's Herut), which left in protest over Benjamin Netanyahu's withdrawal from certain West Bank territories under the 1998 Wye River Memorandum. The disengagement from Gaza under Likud Prime Minister Ariel Sharon divided the party, leading Sharon to launch a new centrist faction, Kadima. In the 2019 primaries, a number of candidates opposed by Netanyahu, including Gideon Sa'ar, performed well, suggesting Netanyahu's hold on the party is not ironclad.

New Year, New Habits: Decluttering an elderly person's home. What to keep, donate, toss.
As you age, having a place for everything in your home is critical to maintaining your health and safety. But it can be emotionally difficult for seniors to choose what to keep, toss, or donate—without support. Check out these tips for helping your elderly loved one clean up a messy home and improve the clutter factor.
Implement reusable shopping bags for the grocery store and other regular errands, so they don't stock up on unnecessary plastic bags at home. Try to eliminate plastic water bottles in the house and make sure they have quality filtered water from the tap or a refillable water cooler. Consider installing a compost pile outside for coffee grinds, egg shells, banana peels and other perishable waste.
Similar items belong in one place. For example, it's easier to have all of your pens and pencils stored in one drawer that makes sense, in the kitchen or by your office. That way, when you need one, you know exactly where to it.
If you have enough stuff in good condition, you can call a local resource like Good Will and arrange for them to pick it up. Their on-line tracking of donations makes it easier to file as a tax deduction. And your old stuff is going to benefit the lives of others in ways you can't imagine.
Funny how the fridge and kitchen cabinets can get loaded with products, gadgets and stuff you bought with good intentions, but never use. If it's food, check expiration dates and discard what's past its prime. Be honest about leftovers in the freezer that will never be eaten. After a defrost, give the fridge and freezer a thorough yet gentile wipe down with warm water and a mild cleaner on the interior. If there are still-good canned foods that will never get touched, donate them to a food pantry.

Surviving the Winds of Change and Winter Weather with The High Dials
Posted on January 12, 2014. Written by Rachel Levine
HIgh Dials
The High Dials are survivors. While most bands don't make it to a sophomore album, the High Dials have sustained themselves for nearly ten years, with a fifth album set for release. Survival usually entails change, and over time the High Dials have not only changed their lineup, but their sound and process as well. After two very quiet years, the High Dials return to the Montreal stage, bringing with them their new EP Yestergraves (released in November) and a video.
After the last album, the band was considering breaking up. "We were at a crossroads," says Trevor Anderson. "We were all at the end of a cycle and we didn't feel very satisfied where we were at. Do we start a new a project, should we even do another one? We had exhausted a certain way of working and we wanted to be more experimental for our own enjoyment and push ourselves somewhere new."
Left to their own devices, though, the High Dials feared they would just write the same album. To introduce change, the High Dials turned to a new producer, Marc Bell (Bran Van 3000, Lauryn Hill). "He comes from a different background than us. He works more in hip hop and R&B and is definitely not coming from the universe we're accustomed to."
The new sound is still very much in the vein of a pop band and still psychedelic, but also more stripped down. The layers are there, but not quite as deep. "It's more focused," says Anderson. "We kept things more direct."
[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/121276844″ params="color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=true" width="100%" height="166″ iframe="true" /]
Another element that changed was the band makeup. The High Dials was a five piece band, but the new EP was recorded only by the three core members, Anderson, Robbie MacArthur, and George Donoso on drums. To record the album and keep the layered sound, Anderson, MacArthur, and Donoso took on all parts. Anderson took on programming the electronics, MacArthur took on keys and bass. "It was not a record that developed as a group of people performing," says Anderson. "It was a studio album, a lot of passing things back and forth."
Change is never easy. "It wasn't without pain," says Anderson. "You set off into the unknown when you're breaking habits and ways of thinking. It's not a smooth process. Our future was uncertain. I wouldn't go as far as to say it was an identity crisis, but almost. And of course there are conflicts because people are passionate and feel strongly about things."
However, the will to continue was very much there. "Through it all, we never really lost belief in it. We knew we were onto something good," says Anderson. "We're a hungry band. We always want to create something even better. We're perfectionists, but I guess every artist is dissatisfied."
"The music is very new and fresh," he says. "Just like the producer, the fresh people in the band aren't familiar with our whole history. It's fresh blood, a new atmosphere. All of this stuff brought us to a point where we're feeling really excited. We're still excited about making music together."
The result is an album of music, though the intention is to release the music in a series of shorter EPs first. The first EP was released in November, the second is intended for the spring. "It feels like the right way to put it out right now."
The High Dials also have a new video to the song Yestergraves. "The only thing I'll say about the video is that it almost killed 2 band members – Robbie and myself," he says, "We were shooting on the day that winter arrived in the last days of November. The snow started coming down really heavy, so the video features snow. We were coming back with a lot of equipment and lost control of the truck on the overpass near Verdun. It would have been the last video."
Fortunately, they survived all that.
The High Dials and the Vasts play January 18 at Divan Orange (4234 St. Laurent). 9:30 p.m..

Q: Horizontally Shifting Description Items of a Particular Type The question herein is a modification of that asked in Two Types of Enumerate Items
Consider the code
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{enumitem}

% % % COMPILE WITH PDFLATEX
\setlist[description,2]{
    topsep=\itemsep,
    %itemindent=-35pt,
    %itemindent=35pt,
    before={\setcounter{enumii}{\value{enumi}}},
    after={\setcounter{enumi}{\value{enumii}}\vspace*{-\topsep}}
}

\newcommand*{\itemb}[1]{%
  \begin{description}\item #1\end{description}
}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\normalsize
\bfseries

\begin{description}
\item Item 1.
\itemb{\lipsum[13]}
\itemb{\lipsum[13]}
\item Item 4.
\end{description}
\end{document}

which produces the output

I would like to shift the two \itembitems (the ones with Latin) a specified amount either to the left or two the right. Moreover, I would like to keep the default hangindent in place.
I thought, perhaps, that itemindent=-35pt or itemindent=35pt placed where these are commented out would do that. But, however, when I run the code with itemindent=-35pt, I get

And when I run the code with
And when I run the code with itemindent=35pt, I get

neither of which, amounts to a pure shift of the said description items.
QUESTION: How may I globally (as I have many such items in the actual document) effect a shift of the \itemb items a specified amount, keeping intact, the default hanging indent? I compile the code with pdflatex.
Thank you.

A: Use leftmargin= <space> to control the left margin.

Home/Business/Average Housing Prices Up In Most Major Indian Cities, This Report Explains Why
Average Housing Prices Up In Most Major Indian Cities, This Report Explains Why
The average prices of rental units in the country have shot up by nearly 5 percent since the beginning of 2022. The average cost per square foot has shot up from Rs 6,300-6,500 at the end of the December quarter in 2021 to Rs 6,600-6,800 now in the eight major cities in India. Major cities in India have seen an appreciation of 2-7 percent in the housing market. According to a report by PropTiger.com, the primary reason behind this increase is the increasing rate of raw materials and a revival in demand for residential units.
According to PropTiger.com's Real Insight Report, the mean prices for new supply and existing inventory of housing units have gone up by 3 to 13 percent (compared to the same period last year) in the eight major Indian cities in the third quarter of the 2022 calendar year.
Check the increased average housing prices for various cities here:
Chennai: Prices saw a slight increase of 2 percent, with per square foot cost going from 5,400-5,600 to 5,500-5,7000.
Kolkata: Following an average 3 percent rise in the prices of residential units, the cost per square foot in Kolkata increased from Rs Rs 4,300-4,500 to 4,400-4,600.
Mumbai: Similar to Kolkata, Mumbai recorded a 3 per cent average increase in the cost of housing. From Rs 9,700-9,900 per square foot last year, the price went up to Rs 9,900-10,100 per square foot.
Hyderabad: From Rs 6,100-6,300 to Rs 5,900-6,100 per square foot, housing prices increased 4 percent in Hyderabad.
Delhi-NCR: This region near thkept up with the national average, marking a 5 percent rise in prices. The average cost of one square foot went from Rs Rs 4,400-4,600 to Rs 4,700-4,900.
Ahmedabad: Also in line with the national average, Ahmedabad recorded a price increase of 5 percent. Here, the rate of each square foot of floor area in housing units climbed to Rs 3,600-3,800 per square foot from Rs 3,400-3,600.
Bengaluru: Recording the second-highest increase in residential prices in the country, Bengaluru saw a price hike of 6 percent. The per square foot rate went from Rs 5,500-5,700 to Rs 5,900-6,100.
Pune: Pune recorded the highest increase in real estate prices in the country. Here, prices went up by 7 percent, jumping from Rs 5,100-5,300 per square foot at the end of 2021 to Rs 5,500-5,700 in July- September 2022.
Key micro markets within some of these cities recorded higher rise in rate compared to the city average, especially in places like Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Gurugram in Delhi-NCR.
Speaking about the reason behind the rising costs, Vikas Wadhawan, Group CFO, PropTiger.com, Housing.com and Makaan.com said that it is primarily because of the sharp rise in prices of key raw materials like cement and steel. "Apart from rising input cost, a strong revival in demand after the second wave of the COVID pandemic has put an upward pressure on prices. Housing prices are expected to further rise in the coming quarter on the back of robust demand," he added.
