U.S. Senator Tim Kaine's Itinerary Includes April 12 Visit to Ferrum College
Home/Ferrum College News/U.S. Senator Tim Kaine's Itinerary Includes April 12 Visit to Ferrum College
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Next week, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine will travel to Central, Southern and Southwest Virginia to discuss jobs and the economy, education, and other issues impacting local communities. President Trump's proposed budget drastically cuts federal investment in rural infrastructure and economic development, which would reduce rural Virginians' access to clean water, safe roads and bridges, well-funded public schools, and quality, affordable health care. Kaine's roles on the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee and Senate Budget Committee give him a platform to share the conversations he has around the Commonwealth as he advocates against these cuts in the Senate.
Kaine's itinerary includes a Wednesday, April 12 stop at Ferrum College where he will address students, faculty and staff in Vaughn Chapel from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. His remarks will include his plans to work with his colleagues across the aisle to rewrite the Higher Education Act to make it easier for first generation college students, like many of those who attend Ferrum, to have access to an affordable, high-quality education. Kaine's address will be available to watch live online here beginning at 9:25 a.m. His archived remarks will be available for viewing after the event by selecting the "On Demand" tab here.
The Higher Education Act (HEA) was created in 1965 and was a sweeping law governing federal higher education programs. The law has been rewritten eight separate times. The current HEA was set to expire at the end of 2013 but was extended through 2016 while Congress worked on the next reauthorization. Among the issues that likely will be included in the final bill are affordability and college costs; access, persistence and completion; better information for consumers; student loan programs; accreditation and oversight; innovation; and the burden of federal regulations. Two bills to amend the HEA were recently introduced on the floor of the Senate and referred to the HELP Committee, one by Sen. Gary Peters [D-MI] and the other by Sen. Bernard Sanders [I-VT].

Die niederländische Redewendung vor Pampus liegen (voor pampus liggen) leitet sich von der bei Amsterdam gelegenen Untiefe Pampus her. Sie hat mehrere Bedeutungen, nämlich volltrunken zu sein, (von der Hitze) ohnmächtig zu sein und (durch übermäßiges Essen) handlungsunfähig zu sein.

Handlungsunfähigkeit
Zu Zeiten des kolonialen Welthandels der Niederlande konnten die schwerbeladenen Schiffe kurz vor dem Amsterdamer Hafen nicht einfach passieren. Um die Schiffe in den Hafen zu bringen, setzte man Schiffskamele ein. Diese wurden an den Schiffen seitlich befestigt und verringerten den Tiefgang. Die Schiffe wurden dann durch mehrere kleine Einmaster der Schiffer und Fischer aus Marken über die Untiefe gezogen. Wenn der Wind ungünstig stand, lagen die Schiffe tagelang vor Pampus.

Volltrunkenheit

Als früher die Schiffe von ihren langen Reisen nach Amsterdam zurückkehrten, wurden die Matrosen ausgezahlt, gingen an Land und verprassten ihre Heuer mit Alkohol und Frauen. Da die Seeleute alle aus der Umgebung waren, gingen sie ohne Geld nach Hause. Für die Anwerber der V.O.C. war es schwierig neue Matrosen aus der Provinz anzuwerben. Wenn sie in ein Dorf kamen, hörten sie immer wieder, dass die Mütter zu ihren Söhnen sagten, nicht tun, das bringt nichts ein. Daraufhin arbeiteten die Leute von der V.O.C. mit einem Trick. Sobald die Schiffe vor Pampus warten mussten, bekamen die Matrosen Essen, Wasser und Seife. Dann wurde ein Bordell angemietet und die Damen und eine Menge Alkohol wurden an Bord gebracht. Nach drei Tagen waren die Matrosen völlig erledigt und gingen mit ihrem Geld nach Hause. Durch diesen Trick hatten es nun auch die Anwerber einfacher.

Sewing Program Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center
The Sewing Program at the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center is a job skills development program that teaches sewing techniques to women in the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, District of Columbia. Women attend sewing training classes to learn how to make curtains, lamp shades, hand bags, and much more. They sell their handmade products during religious services at the Islamic Center and often find sustainable employment as a tailor or seamstress upon completion of the program.
All photos courtesy of Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center.
The Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center is located in Falls Church, Virginia, in the northern Virginia suburbs across the Potomac River from Washington, District of Columbia. The Islamic Center runs a variety of social services programs that serve the needs of the entire community. According to Tahani Jabarin, who started working with the Islamic Center in 2002 and currently serves as the Director of Social Services, the Islamic Center offers an emergency financial assistance program, a weekly food bank and food delivery program, a thrift store and furniture donation program, after-school tutoring for middle and high school students, a school supplies distribution program, foster care training, ESL classes, funeral services assistance, blanket and toy drives for refugees, and programs such as Iftar evening meals during Ramadan.
In February of 2014, Tahani helped launch the Road to Self-Sufficiency sewing program. A nearby homeless shelter was referring Muslim women to the Islamic Center for assistance, and Tahani noticed that many of the referrals were families or single women with children who had no source of sustainable income. In order to move out of the shelter into subsidized housing, the women had to show documentation to prove they had a job. Tahani started the sewing program to teach the women marketable skills so that they could obtain employment as a tailor or seamstress and possibly work within their own home. According to Tahani, the mission of the program "is to teach women within our community a marketable trade through which they can gain self-sufficiency."
In 2015, the Road to Self-Sufficiency sewing program partnered with Empowered Women International. EWI came to the Islamic Center to conduct a three-month program to inspire women to use their skills to launch their own entrepreneurial businesses. Women learned about finance, entrepreneurship, business practices, and general life skills. EWI received a grant to help supplement the cost of the program so that students did not have to pay the full price, and a total of twenty-six women graduated from the three-month program in December 2015.
Today, the sewing program is at its full capacity with a waiting list of women who wish to join. Tahani says they need more space to accommodate expanding the program from twelve to twenty-four participants. Women meet twice per week for sewing training and also sell their handmade products at the Islamic Center on Fridays during the Islamic Center's religious services, which regularly draw thousands of attendees. Women in the program are from a variety of countries, including Turkey, Sudan, Morocco, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Somalia, and even some Latin American countries. The women make curtains, lamp shades, handbags, baskets, dresses, and clothing. With input from group leaders, artisans decide what price to ask for their handmade items, and they receive 50% of the proceeds from sales, with the other 50% returning to the group to purchase additional raw materials.
Impact and future plans
Because of generous donations from a national US-based Islamic charity to the Islamic Center's social services programs, as well as individual and private donors, all raw materials are free for the group's artisans. There is a program participation fee on a sliding scale which is determined by a woman's current income. Throughout the sewing program, which generally lasts for four months, women gain employment skills, build confidence, work and sell products while learning new skills, and develop a base of future customers. Upon graduation, which requires a total of one-hundred hours of sewing, women receive a certificate of completion as well as a sewing machine to use within their own home. Graduates of the program often return as volunteers and mentors to teach new students.
In addition, the group currently has two paid teachers. One is a former student and graduate of the program, and the other is a woman who had her own sewing business for forty years and now teaches the advanced sewing classes. Tahani says the group could benefit from additional volunteers and mentors, and with additional financial support, they would like to purchase commercial-grade sewing equipment for the women to use.
When discussing the group's future plans, Tahani says, "I envision DAH renting a commercial space, such as a community center, so that many more women may join us, and so we could connect with other resources and serve up to one-hundred women per semester. God will help us. One of the reasons for the success of this program is the participation of the benevolent members of our community. I am certain that, with their continued support, we will be able to achieve our goal of helping more and more women attain self-sufficiency." When asked about the impact of the group, Tahani says, "Women learn more than simply sewing in this class; they also begin to master patience and delicacy, and they apply these newly learned skills to their day-to-day lives. Women feel accepted and make friends here. I feel genuine joy every time I witness them bond and develop such pure familial connections with one another. I think of these women as my sisters, and of the younger artisans as my daughters. Some women have even said to me, 'You changed my life with this program. This has given me the self-confidence and self-esteem I needed to believe in myself and in my abilities. I feel like my prospects have expanded significantly' These women often say that they felt lonely and alone before joining the program, but they now believe in themselves and have confidence in their ability to re-join the workforce."
With special thanks to Tahani Jabarin, Director of Social Services for the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center, for all of her time and insights throughout this project.

Reduce the harmful effects of electrosmog!
Protect yourself with our innovative BioZen & BioZen Plus chips.
Every day we spend more and more time using our tablets, mobile, and smartphones. We are constantly sharing information, networking and communicating with our friends, our business partners, or just using these devices for fun.
But did you know that all these devices emit radiation, which may be harmful to the human body?
Electricity is all around us – our phones, our tablets, and even in the surrounding where electrical wires are running around us. Imagine being surrounded by EMF that are tens of volts per meter in your own homes. Where there is electricity, there exists both electric and magnetic fields. These fields have long been in question – does being exposed to these extremely low frequencies (ELF) of electromagnetic fields (EMF) cause adverse health consequences?
The World Health Organization (WHO) has investigated this risk and have concluded a concrete finding in their 2007 research.
There is more to this than just short-term effects to your health. In fact, according to the research conducted by WHO, long-term exposure to these extremely low EMF frequency can result in childhood leukaemia. This poses a threat of EMF having potential carcinogenic effects on humans.
When using a mobile phone, there is a technical Extreme Low-Frequency Electro Magnetic Field (ELF-EMF) surrounding it containing gradients. That means this electromagnetic field is diverging in its strength in different areas. Back in 1992, at the California Institute of Technology. Kirschvink – discovered that those kinds of technical electromagnetic field with their gradients irritate the magnetite crystals inside the human brain. This sends signals to the central control unit of the brain (the pineal gland). The production of certain proteins and hormones are affected in a negative way which is called a stress response. With the modified effectiveness of melatonin, the immune system is weakened, DNA is damaged, and the body's protein balance is affected negatively. There are fewer repair proteins, more stress proteins, and thus the stress level rises in the body. BIOZEN levels out these gradients without negatively affecting the quality of the radio frequency and simulates a flat, natural magnetic field. As a result, the brain's magnetite crystals are not irritated anymore. The hormone and protein production returns back to normal, the DNA's shield is built up again, and the body's proteins start to repair the damaged DNA which helps the stress level to normalize. With its stored quantum information, BIOZEN brings order to the chaos, or rather it prevents chaos from occurring. This has a positive influence on all mobile device emissions.
Measurement of water crystals – How BioZen affects the crystal structure of water remains protected.
Examination in a dark field – How BioZen produces positive effects on human blood.
Blood count examinations provide information about the negative impacts of mobile phone radiation. Healthy blood is characterized by single and clearly visible blood cells. Tests that were conducted after a 10-minute telephone call without BioZen, and they showed modifications in the blood count (a modified hematopoietic): the blood cells stuck together. It is likely that the surrounding water protection shield or the blood cells themselves lost polarization due to the negative impact of the conflicting magnetic field. In contrast, the same test that was carried out after a 10-minute phone call with BioZen, and did not show any changes in the blood count.
But BioZen goes one step further: Test subjects, whose blood count had already been abnormal, started using BioZen, and all of them noticed an improvement in their blood count.
Many applications that use electrical energy create a magnetic field nearby. Extremely low-frequency magnetic fields have a negative impact on the body. Protect yourself now.
Apply BioZen directly on or as close as possible to the battery. Press down firmly on the BioZen chip and surround, smoothing out any bubbles. Remove the top flexible plastic cover.
Improve your wellness with a simple gesture.
BioZen uses the last technology in antenna wave shield and has been scientifically and medically proven.

This project depicts a simple cellular automata model that resembles a pot of boiling water. Heat is applied evenly to the entire pot, but when the temperature of a patch reaches the boiling temperature, the bubble pops and that patch's temperature drops to zero.
This process is analogous to the way in which a hot enough region of water gives up some heat by forming a bubble of steam. The water right around the steam bubble cools off for a moment.
If all of a cell's neighbors are at the maximum value of 212, then that cell's new value will be 213 which gets wrapped down to zero. At the next tick, the presence of this zero-valued cell will lower the values of the cell's nearest neighbors.
Click the SETUP button to set up a random field of heat.
Click the BOIL button to start adding heat to the pot and watch it boil. The redder the color, the hotter the patch (Black is very cool and white is very hot).
Watch how the added heat diffuses through the pot. When bubbles pop, the resulting drop in heat affects nearby patches too by taking away their heat.
What happens to the average heat in the pot?
Try diffusing the heat more slowly through the system.
Change the diffuse parameter from 1 to a smaller fraction.
Add a heat sink, such as edges that constantly cool the liquid.
This model is described on page 79 in "Artificial Life Lab", by Rudy Rucker, published in 1993 by Waite Group Press.

Q: Doctrine: Select statement using equals not accepted According to DDC-2204 issue which states

[Order by With Equals] is supported by including the condition in the SELECT clause, aliasing it, then using it. You might need to use "AS HIDDEN name" to prevent it from appearing in the result

following DQL should be possible:
SELECT main.id = 1 AS test FROM Entity main ORDER BY test

However, when I try this (using 2.4), I get
Error: Expected Doctrine\ORM\Query\Lexer::T_FROM, got '='

It seems the developer-advised method of putting the condition into SELECT does not work. Is this a bug and / or is there another way of selecting and / or ordering by condition.

A: It is possible to use case statement:
SELECT (CASE WHEN main.id = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS test FROM Entity main ORDER BY test

A: I'm not sure, if I understand that article correctly, but it seems to refer to using the condition in the order by clause:
SELECT main.id AS test FROM Entity main ORDER BY test = 1

To add and configure a Derived Column transformation, the package must already include at least one Data Flow task and one source.
The Derived Column transformation uses expressions to update the values of existing or to add values to new columns. When you choose to add values to new columns, the Derived Column Transformation Editor dialog box evaluates the expression and defines the metadata of the columns accordingly. For example, if an expression concatenates two columns—each with the DT_WSTR data type and a length of 50—with a space between the two column values, the new column has the DT_WSTR data type and a length of 101. You can update the data type of new columns. The only requirement is that data type be compatible with the inserted data. For example, the Derived Column Transformation Editor dialog box generates a validation error when you assign a date value to a column with an integer data type. Depending on the data type that you selected, you can specify the length, precision, scale, and code page of the column.
Click the Data Flow tab, and then, from the Toolbox, drag the Derived Column transformation to the design surface.
Connect the Derived Column transformation to the data flow by dragging the connector—the green or red arrow—from the source or the previous transformation to the Derived Column transformation.
Double-click the Derived Column transformation.
In the Derived Column Transformation Editor dialog box, build the expressions to use as conditions by dragging variables, columns, functions, and operators to the Expression column in the grid. Alternatively, you can type the expression in the Expression column.
If the expression is not valid, the expression text appears in red and a ToolTip on the column describes the errors.
In the Derived Column list, select <add as new column> to write the evaluation result of the expression to a new column, or select an existing column to update with the evaluation result.
If you chose to use a new column, the Derived Column Transformation Editor dialog box evaluates the expression and assigns a data type to the column, depending on the data type, length, precisions, scale, and code page.
If using a new column, select a data type in the Data Type list. Depending on the selected data type, optionally update the values in the Length, Precision, Scale, and Code Page columns. Metadata of existing columns cannot be changed.
Optionally, modify the values in the Derived Column Name column.
To configure the error output, click Configure Error Output. For more information, see How to: Configure an Error Output in a Data Flow Component.

ashurst spain - covid-19 18 Mar 2020
Employment implications of the state of alert proclamation in Spain for employment relationships and extraordinary employment measures adopted as a consequence of COVID-19
Royal Decree 463/2020, 14 March has declared an alert state throughout the Spanish territory for the period between 14 to 28 March to deal with the health crisis resulting from COVID-19. This RD has been modified by 465/2020, 17 March, which includes some additional limitations related to the alert state (both Royal Decrees 463/2020 and 465/2020, "RD"). Likewise, Spanish Government has enacted Royal-Decree Law 8/2020, 17 March ("RDL") which sets out extraordinary measures on employment and social security issues to face the severe labour consequences of COVID-19.
The effects of the proclamation of the alert state and the employment and social security measures are analysed in this note.
Cessation of commercial activity, cultural facilities, recreational establishments and activities and restaurants.
RD has established the suspension of the opening to the public of:
a. Commercial premises and shops, except for:
retail stores selling groceries, beverages, products and goods considered basic necessities;
pharmacies, medical, optical and orthopedic establishments;
sanitary products, press, stationery and tobacco stores;
gas stations;
technological and telecommunications equipment establishments;
mail-order business, telephone or, or e-commerce activities;
dry cleaners and laundries;
health establishments;
pet food stores and veterinary clinics.
b. Museums, archives, libraries, monuments, establishments offering public shows, sports and leisure activities.
c. Restaurants (with the exception of takeaway and delivery).
d. Hairdressers (with the exception of home services).
e. Festivities, parades and popular festivals.
Therefore, any company undertaking any of these activities is obliged to suspend opening to the public. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it may be necessary to continue performing certain management and commercial tasks, liaising with third-parties and with public administrations, maintenance tasks, etc.
What happens with employment relationships of the employees providing services in suspended activities?
If no action is taken by the employer the employment relationships remain in force so employees will continue accruing their remuneration even if they cannot render services.
The employer could agree with the employees that they enjoy holidays, they could also grant paid leaves to workers, or create an hours pool/bag to be recovered in the coming months, compensate for the overtime accumulated by employees. In any case, it is advisable to reach an agreement with the affected employees to implement any of said measures.
Can the employment relationships of the employees in the sectors of suspended activities also be suspended?
The employer may follow a procedure to suspend employment relationships and/or reduce the working hours of its personnel. This procedure is known as ERTE (Spanish for Temporary Employment Regulation Procedure). Depending on the circumstances, there would be two alternatives with the following specialities:
ERTE due to events of force majeure which must be verified by the labour authority. As per RDL, force majeure concurs:
- when there is a suspension or reduction of the activity directly caused by the proclamation of the alert state implying the suspension, cancelation of activities, temporary closure to the public, limitations to public transport and in general, restrictions to the mobility of individuals and goods and lack of supplies that prevent to continue the activity in ordinary conditions; or
- in extraordinary and urgent circumstances due to the spread of the disease among the workforce or preventive confinement declared by health services.
This modality does not require prior negotiation with employees' representatives; it would be enough to request the suspension and/or reduction of the working time to the Employment Authorities including a report explaining the grounds of the ERTE and inform the employees of said request attaching the abovementioned report. Labour Authorities should enact a resolution within 5 days as from the date the ERTE is submitted. Once the Labour Authorities have verified the force majeure, the validity of the ERTE will be effective as from the date the force majeure event takes place.
ERTE based on financial, technical, organisational and productive grounds linked to COVID-19. RDL has included some specialities in order to speed up this procedure:
- when there are no workers legal representatives within the company, the employees will be represented by: (i) more representative and representative trade unions of the sector to which the company belongs and entitled to negotiate a sectorial collective bargaining agreement; and (ii) if said committee is not incorporated, employees will have to choose their representatives among themselves. In both cases, employee representatives should be chosen within a maximum period of 5 days;
- negotiation with employees' representatives for a maximum of seven days;
- the employment inspectorate's report, if requested by the Labour Authorities, should be enacted within a maximum of 7 days.
The duration of the suspension of employment relationships will be that agreed with the employees' representatives, thus providing the employer more flexibility not only concerning the duration of the suspension but also on the different measures to be adopted.
During the suspension or reduction of working hours, the employer will not have to pay the remuneration (or may just pay the proportional part corresponding to the working hours not being reduced).
Which Social Security extraordinary measures apply to ERTE based on force majeure?
In case of ERTE due to event of force majeure:
those employers who at 29 February 2020 have less than 50 employees will be exempted from paying Social Security contributions; and
those employers who have 50 or more employees registered with the Social Security will be exempted to pay 75% of the Social Security contributions.
Exoneration to pay social security contributions shall be specifically requested by the employers to the Social Security Treasury detailing the affected employees and the period during which it will apply.
These exemptions on Social Security contributions will apply to any ERTE based of force majeure requested, authorized or started before 18 March 2020.
Besides, these Social Security exemptions will not have an impact in the employees' future unemployment Social Security benefits.
Does the employers must fulfil certain requirements to be able to apply these extraordinary measures?
RDL establishes that the application of the extraordinary employment and social security measures will require that the companies will mantain their workers' job positions during 6 months as from the resumption of business.
Will the employees affected by ERTE be entitled to unemployment benefits?
Those employees affected by ERTE will be entitled to the social security unemployment benefits even if they have not been rendering services and contributed to the Social security system the minimum of 180 days.
Moreover, the period taken as a consequence of these extraordinary circumstances will not be considered when calculating future unemployment benefits.
Apart from the suspended activities, can the employer continue with its activities on a normal basis?
In principle, yes; although the Government requires employers to adopt all possible organizational measures to keep the activity alive and, particularly, working from home, where possible.
Those business premises that remain open to the public shall avoid crowds, and customers and employees will be obliged to keep at least one meter distance from each other for security reasons in order to avoid possible spread. Consequently, the employer must take all necessary steps to fulfil said measures in accordance with health and safety regulations.
What happen in those cases in which employees cannot perform their duties to look after their children/relatives?
Those employees who prove their need to take care of their partner, children or relatives up to second degree of consanguinity as a consequence of COVID-19 (due to the closure of schools, kindergartens or when the person who was in charge of taking care of them cannot do it anymore due to COVID-19) would be entitled to:
Adapt their working time: this right, including its timetable organisation and scope, corresponds to the employee provided that it is justified, reasonable and proportional. Both parties, employer and employee should put their best efforts to reach an agreement.
This adaptation can consist in the modification of working shift, modification of working time, flexible working time, part-time or no-break working time, modification of work centre, modification of tasks, change the way of rendering services (including working from home) or any other modification on working conditions that may be agreed with the employer during the current exceptional circumstances.
Reduce their working time based on these exceptional circumstances: the reductions shall be notified to the employer with a prior notice of 24 hours and could reach up to 100% of the working time. In case the reduction reaches 100% of the working time it shall be justified and be reasonable and proportionate to the company's circumstances.
If any employee would already be enjoying a reduction of their working time or have their working time adapted, he/she could temporally leave it without effect or request its adaptation.
If employees cannot work remotely, are they obliged to go to their workplaces?
Yes. RD allows people to go to their workplace to render professional services.
What happens if the company's activity is affected considerably as a consequence of COVID-19 crisis?
In this scenario, it will be necessary to assess whether temporary suspensions of employment contracts, reduction in working hours or even dismissals are deemed appropriate.
For these purposes, it will be necessary to follow ERTE procedures, as detailed above, or dismissal procedures, either through objective individual dismissals or through collective ones.
Which sanctions can be imposed for breach of the measures enacted in the framework of the state of alert?
Failure to comply with such measures as well as resistance to the instructions of the authorities will be sanctioned according to the law as established in Organic Law 4/1981, 1 June.
Sanctions may range from:
EUR 100 and EUR 30,000 for disobedience or resistance to authorities;
EUR 3,001 and EUR 60,000 for whatsoever conducts or omissions that may cause a serious damage/risk to health and up to EUR 600,000 if it causes very serious risk or harm;
EUR 1,501 and EUR 30,000 in the event of breaches of orders, prohibitions, instructions and requests and up to EUR 600,000 if they cause a special danger for individual's safety or goods' safety;
prison from 3 months to one year or a fine of 6 to 18 months for resistance to measures or serious disobedience to a person in authority.

Autour du film
 Daikondura est un kaiju qui apparait dans ce film. Il a l'apparence d'un condor géant.
 La chanson Samashite Mosura est interprétée par le duo Pair Bambi.
 Dans le script initial, King Kong devait faire une apparition, et le film devait s'intituler Operation Robinson Crusoe.
 Le nom Ebirah provient du mot japonais ebi (えび) qui signifie crevette.
 Après avoir vaincu Daikondura, Godzilla se frotte le nez. C'est un hommage au populaire personnage de Yuichi Tanuma, interprété par Yuzo Kayama dans plus d'une quinzaine de films, dont le premier, Sir Galahad in Campus, est sorti en 1961.
 Premier Godzilla à être réalisé par Jun Fukuda, le cinéaste tournera par la suite Le Fils de Godzilla (1967), Godzilla vs Gigan (1972), Godzilla vs Megalon (1973) et Godzilla contre Mecanik Monster (1974).

Home News MIT scientists' new technology 3D prints human hair-like bristles
MIT scientists' new technology 3D prints human hair-like bristles
Nitin Agarwal
A group of scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has built a new software that can print thousands of hair-like structure within a very short span of time. This step took hours to compute and was considered off limits as it required dense and finely featured objects. But the team has built a software called 'Cilllia' that let the user define the angle, thickness, density, and heights of thousand of hairs in a few seconds.
The researchers at MIT's Media Lab have found a solution to this problem. Cilllia sliders allow users to create surfaces which is covered in thousands of hairs with a resolution of 50 microns. It is about the same width as of human hair.
This latest software will not only save time but will possibly be used to print wigs and hair extensions. The 3D-printed hair will also perform a task such as sensing, adhesion, and actuation. Along with that scientist also used a standard 3D printer to print various arrays ranging from coarse bristles to high-quality fur.
Commenting on this latest development Jifei Ou, first author, and MIT graduate said in an official statement,
The biggest challenge for Hair is that it is not on the Hardware but the software side.
At an association for Computing Machinery's CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, a paper describing the complete results was presented. For engineers to 3D hair with existing software, they have to form hair in CAD, stretch strand and after that supply the drawing through a slicer program which helps in signifying each hair's shape as a mesh of small triangles. Once this step is completed, the researchers produce horizontal cross segments of the triangle mesh which transform each cross sections into pixels. This pixel is then printed out layer by layer.
This latest work is inspired by the hair-like structure in nature. In the case of human hair, it is known to provide warmth and movement, and Cilia is known to remove dust from the lungs. The researchers used the software platform to design first a single hair and then an array of hairs. After this, it printed the arrays on both flat and curved surfaces.

Q: Custom AddForm template with Dexterity, on Plone 4 I'm having problems in getting my Dexterity content type to show a custom Add Form. I have already done this in a previous product, but, amazingly, I cannot accomplish this using Plone 4.1 and plone.app.dexterity 1.0.3
My CrmContact content type, living in package.name.types.contact.py, has its schema defined in this way:
from five import grok
from zope import schema
from zope.interface import implements

from plone.directives import form, dexterity

class ICrmContact(form.Schema):
    """A contact item for the CRM"""

    title = schema.TextLine(
            title=_(u"Company name"),
    )

    ...

class CrmContact(dexterity.Container):
    implements(ICrmContact)

class Add(dexterity.AddForm):

    grok.context(ICrmContact)
    grok.name('package.name.contacts.types.contact')
    grok.template('add')

My template lives in package/name/types/contact_templates. It's a typical template. I know it's not being rendered because it has a dummy node that will call a non existing method using tal:content, in order to raise an exception; so I'm sure the template itself is not the issue.
My content type FTI is registered correctly during installation, and the content type is available and addable.
Finally, in profiles/default/types.package.name.types.contact.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<object name="package.name.types.contact" meta_type="Dexterity FTI"
    i18n:domain="package.name" xmlns:i18n="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n">

    ...

    <!-- Method aliases -->
    <alias from="(Default)" to="(dynamic view)" />
    <alias from="edit" to="@@edit" />
    <alias from="sharing" to="@@sharing" />
    <alias from="view" to="(selected layout)" />

    <!-- Actions -->
    <action title="View" action_id="view" category="object"
        condition_expr="" url_expr="string:${object_url}" visible="True">
        <permission value="View" />
    </action>
    <action title="Edit" action_id="edit" category="object"
        condition_expr="" url_expr="string:${object_url}/edit" visible="True">
        <permission value="Modify portal content" />
    </action>
</object>

Unrelated, but maybe I have to add something here...
I think I followed the correct procedure, as you may see, but I still cannot get it to work.
I know class Add is getting instanced because if I provide an updateWidgets() method and insert a breakpoint, it gets called; and when I introspect the object, self.template is None; even though:
(Pdb) getattr(self, 'grokcore.view.directive.template')
'add'

How can I provide a custom template to the Add Form of my custom type?

A: You should remove the line grok.context(ICrmContact).
From http://plone.org/products/dexterity/documentation/manual/developer-manual/advanced/forms:

Also note that we do not specify a context here. Add forms are always registered for any IFolderish context.

About 28 people attended this lecture.
Swami Yogatmananda visited Greenville and Durham-Raleigh in NC on Oct 7 & 8. He conducted a retreat and gave Vedanta talks.
Class #71: Jnana yoga, the yoga of Knowledge, teaches that by removal of ignorance we will realize our true divine nature. Realizing this will allow us to perceive that all names and forms are merely illusion and that we are one with the entire universe. Chit is that one substance that pervades all forms. Our search, and that of philosophers, sages, and saints throughout history and across the world's religions, is for this underlying one principle, that which Swami Vivekananda calls "God." Why do we seek oneness? Because we are that. According to Julian Huxley, who expanded upon Darwin's theory of evolution, human evolution branches off from the physical to the evolution of spiritual and mind. Why? The mind and spirit evolve so that we may find out the purpose of life. When absolute oneness is discovered, at the experiential level, the life is fulfilled. God is G-O-D: "Ground of Our Dwelling." Someone asked Swamiji how he could continue using the "old" word, "God." He responded that the word derived its power from the saints and sages who first identified it and from all the hopes and aspirations of humanity which have been centered in this word. We should recognize the power of the word and use it in the way it was intended.
Mother Kali and the Virgin Mary are the same. Though Mother Kali has a fearsome form, when we get closer, we see that she is the compassionate Mother who protects creation. We can know God with the heart, and not with the head, or rational mind. Mother Kali combats the demons of ego and self-centeredness. The Virgin Mary, while seen as being sweet, is also a warrior. Mother Kali is the darkness from which everything is born. She is only dark when she is seen as being far away from us. Mother Kali showed Sri Ramakrishna that everything is consciousness. God manifests in all things if we have the eyes to see it. This is why Sri Ramakrishna gave consecrated food to a cat. Sri Ramakrishna said that Brahman (the essence) and Shakti (the manifestation) are identical, like fire and its power to burn. The purpose of a divine incarnation is to teach ecstatic love of God.
In the Middle Ages, particularly in France, there were black Madonnas. They were also in Greece, Egypt, the Celtic lands, and Mexico. They resulted from the continuation of pagan goddesses such as Artemis and Isis. The Black Virgins have healed people and defeated enemies. There is no split between Christianity and the older religions, except in the mind. The Virgin Mary represents that everything is alive and filled with God. She is called the mystical garden. Mary has been called Jacob's ladder, a ladder from earth to heaven. Her true Self is at the top of the ladder. The sons and daughters of Mary no longer have to go through multiple states after death.
Theosis is a transformative process whose aim is communion with God. That is the real goal of human life and not just getting rid of our sins. This can be achieved by merging our little ego in Christ. Everyone of us has the this potential of transforming into Christ rather than limiting ourselves to only salvation from the sins. The genuine yearning should be there for this communion with God. Human love can just give a little glimpse of infinite divine love. To experience that love one must go beyond the material desires and become prayerful and meditative. That attitude will divinize our lives. That is the only reason that we are on this earth.
Man was created in the image of God so that we can become one with the God. We can use Christ as a mold to attain to the complete knowledge of God. In fact we are a part of Christ. Christ constitutes of God and we are an image of God.
Adam and Eve were created as the most perfect, transparent and innocent beings wrapped around with God's grace. There was no fleshliness in them. They were in complete communion with the God. But they slipped down the slippery slope of the world. They chose their own will over the God's will and became material beings driven by self indulgence. Fleshly awareness forces one to lead a life of self indulgence. One must understand the difference between the body and the fleshliness. Body is the most beautiful gift given by God which can be transformed into Christ. Death is a blessing which facilitates the communion with God. Worldly life, life of self indulgence can't lead to God. God, out of compassion gives the opportunity to go beyond the sins and improve our lives. Scriptures guide us to move from worldly life to the divine life.

Q: Perform template function based on type provided at runtime Occasionally, I'd like to perform some type-specific action that is based on a string I receive at runtime.  It would be nice to have a function that can add a type to a function template based on the string.  For instance, the following example that is supposed to ask the user for a type, and print some information about that type:
#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
#include <typeinfo>

template <typename F, typename ... ArgsT>
auto call_with_type(std::string type, F f, ArgsT... a) {
    if (type == "int") {
        return f<int>(a...);
    } else if (type == "double") {
        return f<double>(a...);
    } else if (type == "float") {
        return f<float>(a...);
    }
}

template <typename T>
std::string get_type_name() {
    return typeid(T).name();
}

template <typename T>
bool is_integral() {
    return std::is_integral<T>::value;
}

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    std::cout << "Enter a data type: ";
    std::string type;
    std::cin >> type;

    std::cout << "Type " << call_with_type(type, get_type_name);
    if (call_with_type(type, is_integral)) {
        std::cout << " is integral.";
    } else {
        std::cout << " is not integral.";
    }
    std::cout << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

Here, the call_with_type function is the important part. It should execute the function f with template argument deduced from the string type.  I know this program will not compile at all as is, but is there any way to implement call_with_type, or am I grossly misunderstanding how templates can be used?

A: Tag dispatching might help:
template <typename T> struct Tag{};

template <typename F, typename ... Ts>
auto call_with_type(std::string type, F f, Ts... args) {
    if (type == "int") {
        return f(Tag<int>{}, args...);
    } else if (type == "double") {
        return f(Tag<double>{}, args...);
    } else if (type == "float") {
        return f(Tag<float>{}, args...);
    }
}

Change your call to:
template <typename T>
std::string get_type_name(Tag<T>) {
    return typeid(T).name();
}

std::cout << "Type " << call_with_type(type, [](auto tag){ return get_type_name(tag);});

Yelin Kim is an Assistant Professor of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University at Albany, State University of New York (SUNY). She leads the Inspire Lab– Interaction Sensing and Perception in Real Environment.
Human-human and human-machine interactions often evoke and involve affective and social signals, such as emotion, social attitude, engagement, conflict, and persuasion. These signals profoundly influence the overall outcome of interactions, and hence the automatic recognition of the signals will enable us to build human-centered interactive technology tailored to an individual user's needs, preferences, and capabilities. The goal of our research is to quantify dynamics underlying nonverbal behavioral cues, such as vocal changes, facial expressions, and body gestures, and to automatically analyze human behavior during real-world interactions. This research builds upon techniques from diverse areas, including machine learning, multimodal signal processing, computer vision, and behavioral science.

Melora Griffis at Sara Nightingale Gallery
by Dina Rose Friedman | Aug 21, 2021
The Sara Nightingale Gallery is pleased to present Melora Griffis, moon buoy. The exhibition is ongoing through August 30th, 2021. In moon buoy, the artists narrative landscapes address the late hours. Whether in complete darkness, with only the moon's glow, or during the theatrical show of a sunset, the paintings shy away from diurnal events and focus instead on the sometimes lonely, sometimes intimate experiences that occur in diffused or subdued light. While neon and glitter play a part here, and Griffis's moonlight emanates brightness, it's crepuscular light and what it suggests – the workday being over, the time for social gatherings or quiet solitude – that takes center stage in this body of work.
Melora Griffis received a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from the Vermont College of Fine Arts. She has received fellowships from Oberpfälzer Künstlerhaus, Le Moulin a Nef, the Constance Saltonstall Foundation, Schloss Pluschow, The Edward Albee Foundation and the Virgina Center for Creative Arts. She is a graduate of the Neighborhood Playhouse in NYC and has written, directed, designed, choreographed and performed in over a dozen performance art works in New York City and abroad. She has exhibited her fine art in New York galleries such as Ethan Cohen, Edward Thorp, White Columns, and 571 Projects, as well as other galleries on Long Island, Upstate New York and Los Angeles.

Things are looking up for Russia. In late August, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin finally opened a new pipeline exporting East Siberian oil to China. Dubbed the Eastern Siberia-Pacific Ocean pipeline, or ESPO, the plan is to pump 1.6 million barrels per day toward the Pacific Ocean over the next few years. The rationale is clear. Diversifying supplies to Asia offers Russia the Holy Grail that all energy producers want — leverage over competing consumers in the East and West.
The fact that Moscow is slated to send more than 300,000 bpd to China through ESPO extensions next year should come as ominous news for Europe. Russia will get top prices for the Skovorodino-Daqing pipeline and will push for ESPO crude to set a new benchmark price for the Asia-Pacific region. Rosneft certainly has China National Petroleum Corporation, or CNPC, China's largest oil and gas producer, firmly nailed down. CNPC sank $25 billion into the project in return for a 20-year supply agreement.
With China developing a taste for Russian oil, we can expect gas to follow. The political infrastructure is partially in place under a memorandum of understanding struck between Gazprom and CNPC in 2006. Pricing formulas have been the main stumbling block so far, but things could still come together. China knows its gas demand is rapidly rising, while Russia will be more flexible on pricing provided it can maintain some kind of oil price link. It knows that China can draw on Turkmen and Australian supplies to fill the gaps in the short term, and that failure to become Beijing's supplier of choice would be a costly mistake. It would create additional Asian price pressures from Japan and South Korea and allow European consumers to drive gas prices down further.
Moscow needs little reminding that oil price links are looking decidedly shaky. But if Russia managed to feed the Chinese gas market, this narrative would be turned on its head. Moscow would be well-placed to set price, volumes and the associated political terms to consumers in the East and West. It would also do so when markets have tightened, probably about 2014.
Many politicians in Brussels are fearful of precisely this prospect. The doomsday scenario is if Russia links Sakhalin and East Siberian reserves with West Siberian fields. This would give Moscow the choice of liquefied natural gas or pipeline exports, alongside far greater flexibility to feed gas markets in both the East and West. If efforts to collude on gas prices with other European suppliers are intensified and control of Central Asian exports routes under Russian tutelage are tightened, the outlook for European consumers will be very bleak.
In addition, Russian upstream investments in West Africa and major new pipelines such as Nord Stream could redefine the energy-security configuration in Eastern Europe. Will this amount to a gas cartel? Probably not, but it should be taken as a given that we will see more encirclement toward and price collusion among key producers. The latest gas deal between Russia and Azerbaijan is a case in point.
At the same time, though, Russian "arbitrage" won't come that easily. Geography is one major problem. Hydrocarbons are spread too far across Russia to ever bring them under one truly integrated grid. The second problem is a chronic lack of investment. Beyond Gazprom's blustering, the Kremlin failed to invest during the energy good times where it mattered most — in Russia itself. Oil and gas production is now likely to face depletion as a result.
Attracting increased foreign investment could help offset this to some degree, but here's the final rub: If Moscow fails to resist the temptation of playing off competing Asian and European markets before the pipelines are welded and fields flow, consumers might realize that investing in upstream Russian assets is not in their best interests.
In the end, consumers in Europe and Asia should be focusing much more on reducing their energy demands, integrating grids, improving efficiency and developing alternative energy sources. Otherwise, Putin will return to his energy pedestal, which means that his policy of energy blackmail that we saw so many times in the 2000s will return again.

Wake in Fright (initially released as Outback outside Australia) is a 1971 psychological thriller film directed by Ted Kotcheff, written by Evan Jones, and starring Gary Bond, Donald Pleasence, Chips Rafferty, Sylvia Kay and Jack Thompson. Based on Kenneth Cook's 1961 novel of the same name, it follows a young schoolteacher who descends into personal moral degradation after finding himself stranded in a brutal, menacing town in outback Australia.

Filmed on-location in Broken Hill and Sydney, Wake in Fright was an international co-production between Australia, Britain, and the United States. Alongside Walkabout, it was one of two Australian films to be nominated for the Grand Prix du Festival at the 24th Cannes Film Festival. Despite attracting positive reviews at the time, the film was a commercial failure in Australia, in part due to scant marketing by United Artists, as well as controversy surrounding its portrayal of outback life, including a hunting scene in which real kangaroos are shot and killed.

By the 1990s, Wake in Fright had developed a cult reputation as Australia's great "lost film" because its master negative had gone missing, resulting in censored prints of degraded quality being used for its few television broadcasts and VHS releases. After the original film and sound elements were rescued by editor Anthony Buckley in 2004, the film was digitally remastered and given a 2009 re-release at Cannes and in Australian theatres to widespread acclaim; it was issued commercially on DVD and Blu-ray later that year. Wake in Fright is now considered a pivotal film of both the Australian New Wave and the Ozploitation cycle, earning praise from contemporary critics for Kotcheff's direction and the cast's performances.

Wake in Fright was remade as a two-part miniseries that aired in 2017.

Plot
John Grant is a young, middle-class schoolteacher who feels disgruntled because of the onerous terms of a financial bond that he signed with the government in return for receiving a tertiary education. The bond has forced him to accept a two-year post at a tiny school at Tiboonda, a remote township in the arid outback. It is the start of the Christmas holidays, and John plans on going to Sydney to see his girlfriend Robyn, but first he must travel by train to the nearby mining town of Bundanyabba – affectionately nicknamed "The Yabba" by the locals – in order to catch a Sydney-bound flight.

Upon arriving at The Yabba, John goes to a pub, where he meets the local policeman, Jock Crawford, who befriends him after both drink repeated glasses of beer at the pub and an RSL club, where they witness an unnerving ANZAC memorial service. Crawford then introduces him to the illegal game of two-up, and to Clarence "Doc" Tydon, a vagrant, alcoholic medical practitioner who questions John's contemptuous view of The Yabba and its populace. Deciding to try his luck at two-up, John has a winning streak but becomes reckless: in a desperate bid to win enough money to pay off his bond and escape his indentured servitude as an outback teacher, he loses all of his cash in two rounds. This results in John becoming stranded in The Yabba with no money, leaving him at the mercy of its searing heat and eccentric but sinister townsfolk.

While drinking, John becomes friends with a resident named Tim Hynes and goes to Tim's house, where he meets his adult daughter, Janette, and his two friends, miners Dick and Joe. Tim, Dick and Joe engage in an all-day drinking session, where they are eventually joined by Doc. John converses with Janette, who quietly desires a life outside of waiting on her father and his friends. She aggressively tries to seduce John, who vomits partly in disgust and due to the beer he has ingested.

After engaging in more debauched rituals with the Hynes and their guests, John finds refuge in Doc's isolated shack. After providing him with medicine to cure his hangover and feeding him on kangaroo meat, Doc expounds his worldview onto John, revealing that his alcoholism and self-sufficient attitude to life prevented him from practicing in Sydney. He also reveals that he and Janette have had a long-standing open relationship punctuated by unorthodox sexual encounters.

John and Doc are joined by Dick and Joe in a drunken, barbaric kangaroo hunt that lasts into the night, which culminates in Joe engaging in fisticuffs with one such kangaroo and John clumsily stabbing another to death. The four then vandalize a bush pub, where Dick and Joe engage in a playful fight that turns brutal, interrupting Doc as he lectures an unconscious John about the violent nature of civilization despite its philosophical and materialistic trappings. At dawn, John returns to Doc's shack, where Doc initiates a homosexual encounter between the two.

Repulsed, John leaves that morning and returns to town, where his two suitcases, left behind at a hotel after he met Tim, are returned to him by Crawford. After discarding one suitcase – mostly containing textbooks, including one on Plato – he wanders through the desert towards Sydney, hitch-hiking with truck drivers where possible and procuring food using the rifle he was given during the hunt. He eventually arrives at a truck stop, where he persuades a driver he assumes is heading for Sydney to give him a lift. However, due to miscommunication, John returns to The Yabba instead.

Enraged with Doc and his perversity, John rushes to his empty cabin, intent on shooting him upon his return. However, he becomes overwhelmed with loneliness and remorse, and turns his rifle on himself. Doc arrives to witness John shoot himself in the temple, the impact of which scars but fails to kill him. John recovers in the hospital and signs a statement from Crawford explaining that his suicide attempt was an accident. Several weeks later, Doc takes him to the railway station, where they quietly make peace with each other. No longer contemptuous of the outback's inhabitants and more assured of himself, John returns to Tiboonda to begin the new school year.

Cast

Production

A film adaptation of Kenneth Cook's 1961 novel Wake in Fright was linked with the actor Dirk Bogarde and the director Joseph Losey as early as 1963. Morris West later secured the film rights and tried, unsuccessfully, to raise funding for the film's production. The rights were eventually bought by Australian company NLT Productions and American firm Group W Films and Canadian director Ted Kotcheff was recruited to direct the film.

After Wake in Fright, Kotcheff would continue to have a successful career as a director. His later films included The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz (1973), Fun with Dick and Jane (1977), First Blood (1982) and Weekend at Bernie's (1988). Robert Helpmann was initially hired to play the role of Doc Tydon, but he was replaced with Donald Pleasence due to scheduling conflicts. Actor Michael York stated in a 1980 interview that he turned down a role in the film due to being offended by the kangaroo hunting scene.

The shooting of Wake in Fright began in January 1970 in the mining town of Broken Hill, New South Wales (the area which had inspired Cook for the setting of his novel), with interiors shot the next month at Ajax Studios in the Sydney beach-side suburb of Bondi. It was the last film to feature the veteran character actor Chips Rafferty, who died of a heart attack prior to Wake in Frights release, and the first film with Jack Thompson, a future Australian cinema star, among its cast members.

Release
The world premiere of Wake in Fright (as Outback) occurred on opening night of the 1971 Cannes Film Festival on 13 May. Ted Kotcheff was nominated for a Golden Palm Award. Internationally, the film opened commercially in the United Kingdom on 29 October 1971 and the United States on 20 February 1972.

When the film was re-released in Australia on 25 June 2009, it grossed $62,393 in its opening weekend, and eventually earned $321,323. The film made $50,394 during a 2012 re-release in the United States. It was also screened in Japan, among other revival markets.

Reception
Wake in Fright found a favourable public response in France, where it ran for five months, and in the United Kingdom. However, despite receiving such critical support at Cannes and in Australia, Wake in Fright suffered poor domestic box-office returns. Although there were complaints that the film's distributor, United Artists, had failed to promote the film successfully, it was also thought that the film was "perhaps too uncomfortably direct and uncompromising to draw large Australian audiences". During an early Australian screening, one man stood up, pointed at the screen and protested "That's not us!", to which Jack Thompson yelled back "Sit down, mate. It is us."

In his 1972 review for The New York Times, Roger Greenspun praised the film for its atmosphere "of general foreboding that crystalizes often enough into particular terror and that is not quite like anything else I can remember feeling at the movies. Certain science-fiction films come closest to it, especially those in which some evil alien presence has taken over a community that to all outward appearances remains normal—with only the slightest most fugitive hint that something somehow is hideously wrong"; he also admitted to finding the memorial service at the RSL club to be more disturbing than the kangaroo hunting sequences, and praised the performances of the cast, particularly Kay and Thomas. A review of the Cannes premiere in Variety called it "a creditable effort" from the Australian film industry, "even allowing for the fact that key technical and acting credits are British. The end result is a forceful glimpse of little-known territory in which the emphasis is on booze and violence, with a touch of sex for good measure." Gillian Hanson of The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote, "Canadian director Ted Kotcheff has captured the mindless brutality of life in the outback with extraordinary felicity ... Yet, despite its unmistakable competence, the film's bite is blunted by the script's shallow and largely unmotivated characterisation of John Grant, and by the loosely-knit and over-melodramatic story line which never achieves thematic coherence."

The unrestored version of Wake in Fright received a three stars (out of four) rating from the American film reviewer Leonard Maltin in his 2006 Movie Guide, while Brian McFarlane, writing in 1999 in The Oxford Companion to Australian Film, said that it was "almost uniquely unsettling in the history of new Australian Cinema". Askmen.com echoed these sentiments, citing that "it's not hard to see why the dusty savagery and clown-faced surrealism of Ted Kotcheff's fourth feature was never shown on telly at the time."

Following the film's restoration, Wake in Fright screened at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival on 15 May 2009 when it was selected as a Cannes Classic title by the head of the department, Martin Scorsese. Wake in Fright is one of only two films ever to screen twice in the history of the festival. Scorsese said, "Wake in Fright is a deeply -- and I mean deeply -- unsettling and disturbing movie. I saw it when it premiered at Cannes in 1971, and it left me speechless. Visually, dramatically, atmospherically and psychologically, it's beautifully calibrated and it gets under your skin one encounter at a time, right along with the protagonist played by Gary Bond. I'm excited that Wake in Fright has been preserved and restored and that it is finally getting the exposure it deserves."

Roger Ebert reviewed the re-release and said "It's not dated. It is powerful, genuinely shocking and rather amazing. It comes billed as a 'horror film' and contains a great deal of horror, but all of the horror is human and brutally realistic." Don Groves of SBS gave the film four stars out of five, claiming that "Wake in Fright deserves to rank as an Australian classic as it packs enormous emotional force, was bravely and inventively directed, and features superb performances." American critic Rex Reed, an early advocate of Wake in Fright, praised the film's restoration as "the best movie news of the year", and said it "may be the greatest Australian film ever made". According to Australian musician and screenwriter Nick Cave, it is "the best and most terrifying film about Australia in existence."

The film has an approval rating of 96% and a rating average score of 8.71/10 on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 56 reviews. The site's consensus states: "A disquieting classic of Australian cinema, Wake in Fright surveys a landscape both sun-drenched and ruthlessly dark." On Metacritic, the film holds a score of 85 out of 100 based on reviews from 21 critics, indicating "universal acclaim". Wake in Fright is also listed in the 2015 edition of the film reference book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die.

Controversy
In addition to the film's atmosphere of sordid realism, the kangaroo hunting scene contains graphic footage of kangaroos actually being shot. A disclaimer at the conclusion of the movie states:

The hunt lasted several hours, and gradually wore down the filmmakers. According to cinematographer Brian West, "the hunters were getting really drunk and they started to miss, ... It was becoming this orgy of killing and we [the crew] were getting sick of it." Kangaroos hopped about helplessly with gun wounds and trailing intestines. Producer George Willoughby fainted after seeing a kangaroo "splattered in a particularly spectacular fashion". The crew orchestrated a power failure in order to end the hunt.

At the 2009 Cannes Classic screening of Wake in Fright, 12 people walked out during the kangaroo hunt.

Kotcheff, a vegetarian, has defended his use of the hunting footage in the film.

Restoration and home-media releases
For many years, the only known print of Wake in Fright, found in Dublin, was considered of insufficient quality for transfer to DVD or videotape for commercial release. In response to this situation, Wake in Frights editor, Anthony Buckley, began to search in 1994 for a better-preserved copy of the film in an uncut state. Eight years later, in Pittsburgh, Buckley found the negatives of Wake in Fright in a shipping container labelled "For Destruction". He rescued the material, which formed the basis for the film's painstaking 2009 restoration. Evidently a 35mm print in excellent condition had also survived in the collection of the Library of Congress, which screened it in the library's Mary Pickford Theater in 2008, although its reported running time of only 96 minutes suggests this was an edited version.

Wake in Fright was released on DVD and Blu-ray formats by Madman Entertainment on 4 November 2009, based on a digital restoration completed earlier that year. This restoration was shown to the general public for the first time at the Sydney Film Festival in June 2009, and in re-release has been called "a classic Australian film which has achieved cult status".

Network Ten premiered a two-part miniseries based on the novel on 8 October 2017.

text:
Keresztelő János (, )  (Kr. e. 7 körül – Kr. u. 29) zsidó vándorprédikátor volt.  A kereszténység, az iszlám és a bahái fontos vallási alakja. Ezek a vallások prófétának vagy Isten küldöttjének tartják, és bizonyos keresztény hagyományban szentként tisztelik, így katolikus vagy ortodox neve Keresztelő Szent János.

A Bibliában

Alakja az Újszövetségben szerepel. Az evangéliumok Jézus előfutáraként ábrázolják, mivel János felkészítette az embereket Jézus eljövetelére.

Lukács evangéliuma szerint anyai ágon Jézus rokona volt. Hat hónappal Jézus előtt született, apja Zakariás zsidó pap volt, anyja Erzsébet. Zakariást némasággal büntette Isten, mert amikor egy angyal közölte vele, hogy fia fog születni, ő nem hitte el, mert már nagyon öreg volt; egészen János születéséig néma maradt.

János  a pusztában élt, mielőtt prédikálni kezdett. "Teveszőr ruhát, és dereka körül bőrövet viselt, tápláléka pedig sáska és erdei méz volt" és gyakran böjtölt.

Prédikált a népnek Krisztus közelgő eljöveteléről és bűnbánatot hirdetett. A Jordán folyó vizében keresztelte meg az embereket. Innen ered a keresztelés szentsége a keresztényeknél. Maga Jézus is elment hozzá megkeresztelkedni, amit János, – aki ekkor felismerte Jézusban a Megváltót – először nem akarta megtenni, mert úgy érezte, hogy méltatlan rá, de Jézus ezt mondta neki: "Engedj most, mert így illik nékünk minden igazságot betöltenünk."

Heródes király bár tisztelte és félt tőle, mert szent embernek tartotta, mégis elfogatta Jánost, mert az elítélte amiatt, hogy fivére özvegyét, Heródiást elvette. A nő manipulációi következtében a király lefejeztette Jánost (a Biblia szerint akkor, amikor Heródiás lánya, Salomé táncolt a király előtt, s az megígérte, hogy teljesíti egy bármilyen kívánságát, az anyja pedig utasította Salomét, hogy Keresztelő János fejét kérje egy tálcán.)

Iosephus Flavius szerint a Jordántól keletre eső erődben, Mahérusz várában halt vértanúhalált.

Jézus korának legnagyobb embereként említette Keresztelő Jánost.

Az iszlám hagyományban
A születéséről szóló koráni történet megegyezik a bibliaival. Életéről a Korán több részletet is közöl, többek között azt, hogy az állatok sem bántották, mert felismerték benne a szent embert. Bebörtönzésének oka itt az, hogy Heródes az unokahúgát, Salomét akarta elvenni, és ezt ellenezte János; Salomé pedig saját maga tervezi el a meggyilkoltatását, nem az anyja parancsára.

A damaszkuszi Omajjád-mecset építésekor 706-ban egy, korábban Keresztelő János tiszteletére emelt bazilikát alakították át Szulejmán ibn Abd al-Malik palesztinai emír, későbbi kalifa felügyelete alatt, és - a hagyomány szerint - az építők itt helyezték el János fejereklyéjét.

Egyéb

Keresztelő Szent János a védőszentje Francia Kanadának, ahol több várost is elneveztek róla, valamint az olaszországi Firenzének és a Máltai lovagrendnek is.

Betegséget is elneveztek róla: jánostáncnak, Szent János táncának is, egyéb népies néven pedig nyavalyatörésnek hívták a vitustáncot (kórea, latinul: chorea Sancti Viti), mivel ez a szervi idegbaj a nagy nyári napforduló ünnepen, Szent Iván-napkor járt pogány eredetű tűztánc alkalmával tömegesen szedte áldozatait.

Vértanúságának emléknapja augusztus 29. Az ünnep mai neve Keresztelő Szent János fővétele. A magyar hagyomány Nyakavágó János napjának nevezi, és összekapcsolja a mohácsi vész évfordulójával.
Király József, pécsi püspök kezdeményezésére az emléknapot VII. Pius pápa mohácsi búcsúnappá nyilvánította.
