About the authorPaul VegasShare the loveHave your say Angel Gomes thrilled to see action in Man Utd winby Paul Vegas10 months agoSend to a friendShare the loveAngel Gomes was delighted with his cameo for Manchester United in their 3-1 win over Huddersfield Town.Gomes, who was handed his Premier League debut by Jose Mourinho in 2017, came on as a second half substitute to replace Juan Mata with United 3-0 up.And the 18-year-old was asked by MUTV what advice his manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer gave to him before he came on."He told me enjoy myself get on the pitch," Gomes explained. "He said to come inside and get on the ball and get as many touches as you can and enjoy the atmosphere and I tried to do that coming on and it was a great experience."The academy graduate is hopeful of more opportunities under United's interim manager as he has promised to give more youth team players a chance."Of course it's just the start. It was good me and Jimmy travelled last game too, so to travel again and to get some minutes was an added bonus," Gomes said. "I think United is about bringing youth through and I think with the new manager and how things are going it's there for the taking really."He's a legend at the club and the fans will get behind him because of the things he won at the club and how great of a player he was. For me to learn from a manager like Solskjaer is great for me and the other younger lads because growing up we were watching him. It's a great feeling." read more

Every time we look as if we're ready to make the step up to the next level, we fall down, and that's where we have to improve."We also have to deal with players who can make mistakes and the San Siro crowd does not let anything go, but remember this is a tough league."All I can bring is honesty.

"For me he is the complete striker, I know that he can walk into any team and play. He is big enough and knows what he needs to do to win trophies in his career and he's probably asking questions himself, it's up to him."I would love to see him win something with Spurs because he is Spurs. In the case of Kane and every other Spurs player, I think that every fan wants to see them win something in the end because they have good players and the manager is so good, but if that isn't happening you start asking questions and you will probably disappoint many people if you decide to leave but you have to follow your own path because time flies."There will always be lots of rumours about him because he is a top player and I would like to see Kane continue here in England, the same goes for [Mauricio] Pochettino but I know when Real Madrid come calling, you are going to ask yourself a million questions." read more
Video: Porn Star Mia Khalifa Outlines The Reasons That Braxton Miller Should Transfer To Florida State

(Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images)Noted Florida State fan Mia Khalifa, who is also one of the world's most famous adult film stars, has been trying to recruit Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller to play for her Seminoles for weeks now. Last Friday, Khalifa tweeted at Miller in an attempt to persuade him to finish his college career in Tallahassee. Apparently she needed more than 140 characters to outline the reasons that the Buckeye star should make the move to FSU, so she put together a video for her full pitch. Among her pitches are Florida's beaches and vacation spots, which he can't find in Ohio, Jimbo Fisher's coaching acumen, the ability to beat Clemson, and, of course, the girls of Florida State. She also makes sure to play it safe when it comes to NCAA. We're not sure if this will help sway Miller at all, but it certainly can't hurt. read more

Llorente: Watford winner will give me confidence
Posted on October 27, 2019 by admin vcucarurf
Tottenham striker Fernando Llorente has said his dramatic late winner against Watford on Wednesday could prove to be a huge goal for him and the entire team.Mauricio Pochettino's men had to come from behind to earn all three points at Wembley against the Hornets, and were still trailing 1-0 with 10 minutes left.But Heung-min Son, who only recently returned from international duty with South Korea, fired them on level terms and, just before stoppage-time, Llorente headed home the all-important winner. Article continues below Editors' Picks 'There is no creativity' – Can Solskjaer get Man Utd scoring freely again? 'Everyone legged it on to the pitch!' – How Foden went from Man City superfan to future superstar Emery out of jail – for now – as brilliant Pepe papers over Arsenal's cracks What is Manchester United's ownership situation and how would Kevin Glazer's sale of shares affect the club? The Spaniard has been forced to step up in recent weeks following the injury to Harry Kane, but he made the worst possible start after returning to the starting XI against Fulham when he scored an early own goal at Craven Cottage.Thankfully for Spurs, Llorente has recovered from that tough return to the side and has netted in two of the last three games.His goal against Watford proved the 33-year-old is still capable of producing in the Premier League, however, he again faced a knock to his confidence earlier in the game after missing a golden chance after 51 minutes."It was difficult because I had a big chance, normally, in 10 chances (like that) I'd score nine but sometimes the ball doesn't want to go in," he told Spurs' official website."In that moment, you have to forget that chance, keep fighting, believe, always believe in the team, believe we can win and in the last minute I had an amazing chance and this time, I scored."This goal is very important for me. It gives me confidence to keep fighting, to keep running, to be stronger every game."Spurs have been criticised for their supposed mental weaknesses in recent times, but Llorente believes the comeback against Watford shows how strong the team are."We suffered a lot," he said. "Watford created a lot of problems for us with their goal from the corner. We were strong, strong mentally, because after the two defeats in the cups this wasn't easy."We played well in the second half. We were 1-0 down but I think we're a very strong team because we played really well in a difficult situation. I'm really happy to help the team.The 2-1 win could prove to be hugely important for Tottenham, whose confidence was at rock bottom following eliminations from the FA and Carabao Cups last week. It also closes the gap to leaders Liverpool to just seven points."It's a massive result, a massive win," said Llorente. "At that moment [when I scored], it was very special – and after all that running, I was really tired! We ran a lot, we were aggressive, we played well." read more

Soccer Star Carson Smith '26 Makes Keuka College History
The first-year goalie was named the Empire 8 Men's Soccer Goalkeeper of the Year.
Carson Smith averaged 5.54 saves per game this season, to lead the Empire 8 Athletic Conference.
Carson Smith '26 started off his athletic career at Keuka College with a bang – and a history-making performance.
When it came to in-conference play, Carson averaged seven saves per game and stopped more than 85% of the shots that came his way.
Guarding the net for the men's soccer team, the first-year student-athlete was named the Empire 8 Men's Soccer Goalkeeper of the Year on Tuesday. Carson, who was also named First Team All-Conference, becomes the first Keuka College student-athlete to win an Empire 8 individual award in school history.
He joins Holly Reynolds '19 from the 2018-19 women's golf team as the only other Keuka College student-athlete to earn First Team All-Empire 8.
Carson shared the kudos with his teammates.
"I'm very humbled by this honor, but I couldn't do it without the help from teammates and coaches – but most importantly, my fellow keeper and one of my closest friends, Cory Cangemi. Cory (Class of 2025) pushed me to be the best goalkeeper I could be and was my Number One supporter this year."
— Carson Smith '26
Carson had a big debut season for the Green and Gold, including shutouts against Nazareth College and eventual Empire 8 champion Medaille University. He posted a 1.58 goals-against average and an .809 save percentage, tenth best in program history.
Hailing from Horseheads, the Political Science/History major becomes the second player in the 33-year history of Keuka College men's soccer to earn conference goalkeeping honors, along with Michael Meskill '10 from the 2009 squad.
Also honored on Tuesday was defender Larry Kroon '24, who was named Keuka College's representative for Empire 8 Sportsman of the Year for Men's Soccer.

Introducing the Readium SDK
23 Mar 2013 in Programming / ePublishing on C++, Epub3
Something great begins today…
Well, actually it started a few months ago. Or maybe a year ago.
Perhaps it started in February 2012, when the IDPF started an initiative to create an open source reference implementation of an EPUB® 3 reading system. This was given the name 'Readium', and it was implemented in JavaScript as a Chrome browser extension. A lot of companies were involved with this effort, although the primary architects were the folks at Evident Point in Vancouver, BC. Along the way, the folks at ACCESS began contributing some major changes into the WebKit browser to provide significantly better typography for Japanese text.
Or perhaps it began in October 2012, when during a visit to the Kobo offices Bill McCoy of the IDPF talked about an EPUB 3-compatible successor to Adobe's Reader Mobile SDK. As it happened, I'd been working on a cross-platform library for handling EPUB 3 files for a few months, off and on, and had written some Go and C++ source for handling a few nuances such as font obfuscation for other departments at Kobo. I'd been thinking long & hard about the architecture of just such a system, and we discussed it at length that day, and made a proposal to Kobo's management that we take a leadership role in this new project.
A few weeks later, everything was settled: the project I'd been working on in my spare moments at Kobo was to be the beginning of a new open-source SDK. In November the initial stakeholders (Kobo, IDPF, Evident Point, and Bluefire Productions of Seattle) had gone over some initial setup ideas, with the repository being created and my code checked in. In December we met at Bluefire's offices to go over the setup of what would later become the Readium Foundation, and in February, at Evident Point's offices in Vancouver, we worked out the final details. Shortly after that, we began soliciting new members with the aid of the IDPF, and now the list has grown quite considerably:
Aldiko
Bluefire Productions
Baker & Taylor
Bokbasen
DAISY Consortium
Datalogics
eBook.de
Eden Livres (a joint venture of Gallimard, La Martinière and Flammarion)
Editis
Evident Point
Feedbooks
Firebrand Technologies
LIA (Libri Italiani Accessibili)
Mantano
TXTR
Vibal Publishing House
There are a few big names on there, and more to follow!
The project itself has been implemented using C++11, is released to the world under the GPL v3, and is designed to run on all available platforms. We're looking at JNI layers for the Android folks, and possibly something similar for Microsoft's CLR-based languages. As it stands, there's a lot of information available at the official site and at the Github repository. Contributions and membership in the foundation can get you a commercial-friendly license, or you can hack & fork it in a GPL-friendly manner to your hearts' content.
I'll be posting some more technical details on the project in multiple articles over the next couple of weeks, so you'll have some (persistent!) guidance if you'd like to get your feet wet.
Come on in, the water's fine…

Based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is Kolade Olamide Ayodeji, a prolific songwriter, beat maker, producer, poet, and rapper. Having a business background- Ayodeji has a degree in Business Administration and Management- and a strong desire for independence has allowed him to be the captain of his own ship: he writes his lyrics, produces his songs, and markets songs and releases albums on his own independent record label Kolade Olamide Entertainment.
Kolade has dabbled in a variety of genres, and his unique hit-making ability has allowed him to pen songs that could be described as everything from pop to hip-hop to country to dance to gospel. He has released two albums to date; Hit List and Best Moment of our Lives. The single "Trap in the Night" has seen airplay on multiple at radio stations like Agboma FM, Valley FM 89.5 and more – as well as numerous internet radio stations and now, we're excited to spread awareness of this absolutely enchanting music video as well.
"Trap in the Night" is a revamped version of "Trapped in the Dark", which entered the Semi-Finals in the Lyric Category of "Song of the Year" songwriting contest in 2007. Kolade explains that, "The story behind the song was not showing interest in love when the other partner is in love or while dating. Just like still wanting more time to enjoy before settling down. It is about feeling regret when the partner walks away due to nonchalant attitude of one towards the relationship." "Trap in the Night" is full of bright and radiant electro-pop elements, with a female lead vocalist singing passionate lyrics that create a reflective, longing mood: "I was trapped in the night for not adoring you," she sings in the chorus.
Filmed in the UK, the "Trap in the Night" music video features a woman dressed as an angel, who runs away from her suitor, escaping through a forest and down a highway. Eventually, she collapses in the middle of a field. Her beloved approaches, and she takes off her wings as he drapes a coat over her shoulders to keep her warm.

We're getting Down & Dirty with MFRW Author Meredith Bond.
Meredith is an award-winning author of a series of traditionally published Regency romances and indie-published paranormal romances. Known for her characters "who slip readily into one's heart", Meredith's paranormal romances include Magic In The Storm, Storm on the Horizon, and the short story "In A Beginning". Her traditional Regencies include The Merry Men Quartet of which An Exotic Heir and A Dandy In Disguise have recently been republished.
Welcome Meredith. Tell us, generally, how long does it take you to write a book?
It takes me around five months to write a book from plotting through editing.
Do you have a set schedule for writing or do you just go with the flow?
I write every afternoon – or at least that's the goal, and pretty much, I stick with it.
Meredith also teaches writing at her local community college. If you want a taste of her class in book form, Chapter One is available at your favorite e-retailer.
Tell us about your latest book, including its genre. Does it cross over to other genres?
It covers too many genres! It's a New Adult Medieval Fantasy Romance. I get tired just writing all that out every time.
I love the New Adult genre. It's actually what I've been writing for years, only they were called "traditional Regencies" when I first wrote them. LOL! Now I've got a new one with early 20-somethings who are trying to find themselves amidst the chaos of destiny coming to call and an evil power-hungry Lady Nimuë who is trying to take over Britain.
So, I've got New Adult – 20 somethings trying to figure out who they are. I've got Medieval – it's set 200 years after King Arthur's death and has Lady Nimuë, the Lady of the Lake as the villain, Lady Morgan le Fey plays a role, as does Sir Dagonet, a knight of the Round Table (actually, he plays a very large role). Merlin pops in a few times as well. It's a Fantasy – magic! Loads of magic and fun. And it's a romance. Each book in the trilogy features one of the trio of lead characters in a romance and they all end happily ever after.
How do you come up with story ideas?
I came up with the idea for the Children on Avalon because I was trying to discover the beginning of the world I created in my Regency Paranormal Romance, Magic In The Storm. I created a world where there are a magical people called the Vallen who have magical abilities with which they help ordinary people. So anyone extraordinary (think Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Shakespeare) are actually Vallen.
I knew that Morgan le Fey and Merlin had to play a role because I love them so much, and I knew that the world had to begin with younger people trying to learn who they were. It just built from there. As with many of my books, I started with the characters and created a story around them.
What are your thoughts on love scenes in romance novels?
I love love scenes that are passionate and romantic. I don't need to have all the body parts described, I know what they are. Most of all they need to pluck at my emotional strings and usually they lead to some conflict.
What does your husband/wife think of your writing?
My husband reads just about everything I write. Admittedly, he doesn't love the paranormal so much as the historicals, so he's a little behind on this current series. But he's extremely supportive of my work.
Do you ever ask him/her for advice?
Always. He's great at analyzing my work for character consistency, plot holes and just what works and what doesn't.
Who, if anyone, has influenced your writing?
Georgette Heyer started me writing – I grew up reading her Regencies. Julia Quinn showed me what great characters can do for a story and just how important they are. Mary Jo Putney taught me to love the modern Regency novel and now she's writing paranormals too that are fantastic.
What can we expect from you in the future?
I've got much, much more to come! Way too many books, in fact. LOL!
After the Children of Avalon series is published (March, April and May, 2014), I'm going to get started revising and editing the two traditional Regencies to which I just got my rights back from Kensington Publishers. Then I've got another Regency I started a few years ago when I wrote a "Book In A Month" which will build on the characters in A Dandy In Disguise (one of my traditional Regencies which I re-released last year). And then more to come in my Vallen world. As I said, too many books!
How do we find out about you and your books?
You can sign up for my newsletter at my website. And I blog on the topics of writing and self-publishing every weekend.
How can readers/fans contact you?
Want to know more about Meredith? Check out her Social Media Links:
Pinterest | Twitter | Goodreads
Do your fans' comments and letters influence you in any way?
Absolutely! In fact, as soon as I'm done writing Fire (almost there!), the third book in my Children of Avalon trilogy, I'm going to take a break and write a short story specifically requested by my readers who read Storm on the Horizon and then Magic in the Storm. They needed a bit of a bridge between loving my heroine in SOTH, Tatiana to understanding how she became the villain in MITS. So, that's up next for me.
Do you have a favorite comment or question from a reader?
I had a reader write to me after she received my last newsletter. She loved it so much, she said, that she forwarded it to six of her friends! Now that's a fantastic fan!
Do you have a favorite author? Favorite book? Favorite series?
Too many. My favorite book of all time is The Princess Bride by William Goldman. Right now I'm really enjoying Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series – slowly making my way through them. And I love Kerrelyn Sparks Vampire series – so much fun, she's an auto-buy for me.
Cherries or Bananas? Leather or lace? Black or red? Mud Bath or Oily Massage?
Cherries. Leather. Red. Oily massage – tonight would be fine, thank you.
And, the best question of all... if you came with a warning label, what would it say?
"Silly geek who loves to laugh. Handle with care."
Meredith's newest book is a New Adult Medieval Fantasy Romance published with Anessa Books is being released TODAY, March 18, 2014!
Blurb: In one day Scai has gone from being considered just unusual by the people of her little Welsh village to an outcast fleeing for her life. Left on the church steps as a baby, she knows nothing of her history—or her abilities. Did she really stop the rain just by wishing it to stop? But she is determined to learn all she can. Travelling alone to find her family seems to be the only way she's going to find the answers she seeks.
Her journey leads her to the comical old knight Sir Dagonet, who tells her that she is one of a magical people called the Vallen. Together they continue on, joined by the handsome Dylan and the fiery Bridget on a new quest—to find the fabled Merlin's Chalice, said to hold all the power of the entrapped wizard. Together, Scai, Dylan and Bridget discover that they are the long awaited Children of Avalon, destined to save the world from power-hungry Lady Nimuë—unless she kills them first.
Along the way, Scai finds magic—both in the wind and air that she can control at will, and in the sweet ache of a first love that she cannot.

GEM x Brampton National Youth Week

Girls Empowerment Movement
Change The Channel
We see 5 able-bodied, affluent, white friends experiencing every imaginable experience and we do not bat an eye. We see them falling in love with the opposite sex and making punchlines out of the now-skinny character's past as a fat, unlovable, excuse of a person and we do not twitch. We do not cringe. We do not change the channel. Why would we when this is normal and we like what is normal because abnormality is a stranger to us. But who defined the word "normal"? It was none other than the white, able-bodied, cis, heterosexual man whom we associate the word with today.
Seeing a predominantly Black cast or one that characterizes members of the LGBTQ+ community is a contemporary phenomenon. Although we have seen progress, we are far from reaching equal representation in the film industry and entertainment media.
Audre Lorde once stated that:
"We cannot dismantle the master's house using the master's tool".
How are we to dissolve a system that caters to a specific group of people when any attempt is met with claims of pandering? Even when casting directors try to give power to the powerless, they are berated for "going against the grain" and for not "casting colour blind"(even though the film industry has always seen colour all too well). There are merely a few lead characters that are women, racialized, LGBTQ+, differently-abled, and Indigenous in mainstream television shows because creators believe that audiences only want to hear the nuanced narratives of those who do not fit into those boxes. Creators want to depict a plot that does not hinge on suffering and oppression and to society, POC and the marginalized are nothing more than their trauma. Creators do not want to believe that the "Invisible Majority" are people with mundane and ordinary likes, dislikes, hobbies, and habits worthy of being broadcast on TV screens. Whether or not their biases are implicit and whether or not their intentions are conscious, creators want the marginalized to stay in the margins of society.
Take the Indigenous, for example, who are one of the most underrepresented groups in the media today. When I reflect on the media that I consume, I notice that none of them star Indigenous characters, employing them as protagonists or even secondary characters. Even when I ventured the web, I still came out empty-handed. The Indigenous are only represented on TV screens in order to exploit their trauma. They are seldom portrayed as ordinary youth who face obstacles and adversities that are not centred around their race and their oppression. It is important to showcase that oppression in order to work towards truth and reconciliation but it is also important to normalize seeing them on-screen undergo the same trials and tribulations that white children are shown overcoming. How will Indigenous children ever believe that their worth does not hinge on their marginalization if creators believe that this is the only aspect of them we find interesting enough to profit off of?
Graphic of Black woman in support of Black power and solidarity.
In the same way that we've perpetuated an unyielding system that refuses to cater to the oppressed, the media, our media, refuses to illustrate us. It only wilfully illustrates the straight-size, non-disabled, cis-gendered, heterosexual man. It hurts to reflect and think that when white people say "We watch movies to escape reality", what they mean is, "We watch movies to escape a world in which you exist unapologetically". Now when you watch TV, I urge every single one of you to view everything through an equitable, intersectional, feminist lens. Now when I watch TV, I count the number of POC I see on my TV screen, I change the channel when Friends is on, and actively put effort into finding movies and shows that cast the marginalized groups that are seldom seen because I am seldom seen‒ and it is about time we change that.


Are Juniper Berries the Same As Capers?
It is fairly understandable for some of us to mistake juniper berries for capers and vice versa, since they are similar in size, shape and appearance, and are both used in cooking. But they are not the same and come from two different plants.
Juniper berries are not the same as capers.
Juniper berries are produced by the juniper shrub, a coniferous plant in the genus juniperus that is indigenous to the northern hemisphere. The berries are not really berries, but are actually female seed cones that resemble berries. All junipers produce berries, but only a number of species are edible including Juniperus communis, Juniperus drupacea, Juniperus oxycedrus, Juniperus phoenicea, Juniperus deppeana, and Juniperus californica. Others are too bitter to eat and some are toxic.
In the kitchen, juniper berries are used as a spice, particularly in Europe and the United States. They are used in sauerkraut and in marinades for beef, wild birds, game and pork and enhance stuffing, sausage, stew and soup. They need to be crushed before use. The berries also provide gin with its distinctive flavor. In addition, juniper berries have been used by herbal medicine practitioners for hundreds of years.
Capers are the unripened buds of the caper bush, Capparis spinosa, a perennial widely spread throughout the Mediterranean. They are closely related to the cabbage family, which includes other edibles as cress, horseradish, mustard and wasabi. Capers are categorized by their size, with the smallest sizes being the most desirable and expensive. From smallest to largest they include non-pareil, surfines, capucines, capotes, fines and grusas.
Capers are pickled in vinegar, brine, wine or salt prior to use. This curing brings out their tangy flavor that makes them popular in Mediterranean cuisine, especially in Sicilian and southern Italian cooking. Capers lend their distinctive flavor to and are widely used in salads, pastas, vegetables, pizzas and meat dishes and are also one of the ingredients of tartar sauce.

Yum...those brownies look good. I only recently discovered just how tasty blonde brownies can be.

What Ethel and I remember the most about Leo is a day at the hospital in Poughkeepsie, New York when Kevin was struggling to even move. The nurses at the hospital moved him downstairs in a wheelchair, and Leo, a cat he'd rescued who had hid in his car's engine on a cold day, was there. Leo curled up next to Kevin as if he knew how ill his young rescuer was, and Kevin's whole demeanor lost some of its pallor and, for a brief moment in time, the world seemed brighter than it had just a few moments before.

FRANCE WOULD INVEST IN BOOSTING THE PRODUCTION OF COVID-19 VACCINES IN AFRICA, SAID FRENCH PRESIDENT EMMANUEL MACRON DURING HIS OFFICIAL VISIT TO SOUTH AFRICA
ON 28 MAY 2021.
French President Emmanuel Macron said France would invest in boosting the production of COVID-19 vaccines in Africa, to help close a gap in the availability of the shots between the continent and western nations.
French President Emmanuel Macron has thrown his weight behind South Africa's battle at the World Trade Organization (WTO) for a waiver that could see African countries manufacture COVID-19 vaccines.
President Macron met with President Cyril Ramaphosa in Pretoria on Friday, during his first visit to South Africa. Speaking at a joint news conference, the two heads of state discussed the global COVID-19 response recovery plan. Pandemic issues took a centre stage in President Macron's South Africa State Visit.
In his remarks President Macron said "Africa makes up about 20% of the world's need for vaccines but only 1% of vaccine production. This is our role to help all the different countries to accelerate vaccination. For solidarity reasons because we have to help each other, but second as well for pure a pure efficiency rationale, because there is no way to fix the situation if everybody is not vaccinated. We advocate that COVID vaccines must be global public goods."
President Macron also pledged to donate more than 30 million vaccine doses by the end of the year to the United Nations-backed Covax.

Every photo has a story...allow me to tell yours.
While most photographers take pictures, I tell stories, here is mine. It all started when I was a little girl, I dreamt of my wedding day what seemed like every day. I had a collection of journals with ribbons, leaves and what was to become the blueprint of my big day. I became very familiar with the terms: sweetheart neckline, hydrangeas, and I swore I would walk down the isle to "Open Arms' by Journey! I was in love with love...I loved everyone and everything deeply! I loved lace, roses and diamonds...There was only one little thing missing-I had never EVER attended a wedding! In fact, the first wedding that I attended, I photographed! Can you guess what happened after? That's right. I was in love! I approach every wedding with the deepest respect for the true reason why there is a 'wedding'...a marriage! The details you have meticulously selected will be documented as well as the people who will witness page one of your love story. That's who I am, a storyteller and I would be honored to tell your love story.

Since 2013, Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art and the Willem de Kooning Academy collaboratively organise the eadead-In Series for the WdKA Critical Studies minor. During this yearly program students are encouraged to sharpen their personal vision on the social relevance of art and culture through confrontation with theories, concepts and analytical methodologies from the philosophical tradition of 'critical theory'. The Read-In Series consists of four close-reading sessions followed by a closing symposium organized by the students of the minor.
This year, following the central theme of the Read-In Series 2015-2016, the symposium will focus on 'collapsology', a neologism which literally means 'the study of collapse'. The term refers to the title of the book by Pablo Servigne and Raphaël Stevens, Comment tout peut s'effondrer: Petit manuel de collapsologie à l'usage des generations présentes [How everything can collapse: Short guide to collapsology for present generations] recently published by Antropocène (2015). In this work, Servigne and Stevens study the current state of unsustainable growth in all aspects of human life and culture, and give practical advice on how to turn the future into a chance for real change after the unavoidable fall of our current economic and political system. Closely related to the notion of 'crisis', 'collapse' is central to the tradition of critical theory, its history and some of its present-day adaptations.
The texts of this year's Read-In Series were specially selected to highlight different forms and perspectives on the subject of collapse, understood as a necessary historical, socio-psychological, critical and political phenomenon. For the symposium, the participating students have invited contemporary theorists and artists who relate to the texts studied during the close-reading sessions. These speakers give their views on the subject of collapse, and discuss this topic with the students and the audience.
Lieven De Cauter will present the mixed media project 'Welcome to posthistory' (for the Burning Ice Festival in Kaaitheater, Brussels), starting from the question: "can we fall out of history?" (based on the text 'Afterthoughts on posthistory', published in Entropic Empire (in Dutch Metamorderniteit voor beginners).
Following this core question, De Cauter wonders if it is possible that we are entering or have already entered something called posthistory, a strange limbo after the end of history. "This question has been haunting me for many years, indeed ever since my first book. Of course, there is common sense to save us: one cannot fall out of history, just as little as one can fall off the earth. But are we sure we cannot fall of the earth? Lately we are maybe a bit more doubtful. Humanity is on a collision course with 'spaceship earth'. If we are hitting the limits of the earth, the limits of the ecosystem, of our natural habitat, to the extent that might cause it irreparable damage and unchain a series of catastrophes – one starts to wonder. We can fall of the earth. At the very moment humankind starts hitting the limits of the planet as ecosystem the question of falling out of history seems less foolish…".
Taking into account the texts that have been read – Marx, Bataille, Deleuze/Guattari, Manifesto for an Accelerationist Politics – Oosterling will present the contours of a 'collapsological awareness'. Connecting the notions of revolution, abundance, transgression, rhizome and acceleration as crucial aspects of an eco-relational politics, he will briefly sketch the transition from our radical mediocrity to what he, following Arendt and the French philosophers of difference, labels as the inner core of our uncritical radical mediocrity.
Hito Steyerl against the accelerationists: artistic research in the age of collapse In this talk Thijs Witty will discuss the work of filmmaker and critic Hito Steyerl. In her commentaries on visual culture, Steyerl has mapped the various kinds of circulation that images are subjected to under ruling modes of production and exchange. Most recently she has taken aim against so-called accelerationism, a tendency in critical theory and practice that wants to speed up rather than slow down the flows of capital, in order for it to eventually collapse. Only by taking collapse to its limit, or so the reasoning goes, can we see improvement. Witty will share some examples of Steyerl's alternative program, which she calls circulationism, and show its advantages for artistic research in the age of collapse.
Artist Daan Paans is interested in the way time – past, present, and future – shapes our interpretation of the world. Many questions and explorations in the work of Paans are related to the techno-socio side of this years Read-In Series. His long-term projects often focus on the human incapacity to domesticate and control time. An example is the project Letters from Utopia, in which Paans explores how humans could gain immortality through technology.

Hurricane Watch Net Shuts Down after 21 Hours of Activation for First 2014 Atlantic Hurricane
TAGS: 40 meters, atlantic hurricane season, canadian hurricane center, canadian maritimes, eastern seaboard, El Niño, heavy rain, high winds, Hurricane Arthur, Hurricane Watch Net, hwn, initial activation, manager Bobby Graves, national hurricane center, net control operators, north carolina, Nova Scotia, Outer Banks, post-tropical cyclone, surface reports, tropical cyclone, tropical storm, utc, Weather Amateur Radio
The Hurricane Watch Net (HWN) closed operations for Hurricane Arthur — by then a tropical cyclone -- headed out over the Canadian Maritimes around mid-day on July 5. The HWN first activated for Arthur on Thursday, July 3, as the storm threatened to make landfall along North Carolina's Outer Banks. The net moved to 40 meters (7268 MHz), after propagation was lost on its primary 14.325 MHz frequency. The first activation lasted 18 hours. The HWN activated again on Saturday, July 5, at 1100 UTC, as Hurricane Arthur, still a Category 1 storm, worked its way up the Eastern Seaboard headed for Canada.
"This storm seemed to be mainly a heavy rain and strong wind event, unlike the Category 1 landfall of Sandy in 2012. Thankfully, Arthur weakened to a tropical storm a few hours prior to [our] activating and was downgraded further to a post-tropical cyclone at 1200 UTC," said HWN Manager Bobby Graves, KB5HAV. "Reports from CANWARN indicated nearly 84,000 lost power in Nova Scotia and nearly 59,000 in New Brunswick." CANWARN — the (CANadian Weather Amateur Radio Network — is Canada's equivalent of the SKYWARN program in the US. The storm also generated heavy rain and high winds along the coast of Maine, blowing down trees and limbs leaving thousands of homes in the dark. The net stood down at 1400 UTC.
"We were able to link the National Hurricane Center and the Canadian Hurricane Center together by means of our Internet back channel," Graves noted. "This link not only allows direct communication between forecasters at each center but also the forecasters with our net control operators."
Although the number of reporting stations was low for this initial activation of the 2014 Hurricane Season, Graves said the HWN was "grateful for all reports that came in." He said forecasters base their advisories on what is happening on the surface, and that all surface reports, measured or estimated, are extremely helpful. "Our sincere thanks to all who use 14.325 MHz and 7.268 MHz for allowing us a clear frequency to help those affected by Arthur."
Graves said that while no one wants their weekend, holiday or otherwise, ruined by a hurricane or tropical storm, nature doesn't care about the calendar. "Thankfully, there have not been any reports of injuries or fatalities as of this posting," he added. "Considering that this is supposed to be an El Niño year, hopefully this will be the one and only storm of this Atlantic Hurricane season."
