When the rays of the sun or a candle, or dark radiation from a warm body, are incident on the vanes, the dark side of each vane is repelled more than the bright side, and thus the vanes are set into rotation with accelerated speed, which becomes uniform when the forces produced by the radiation are balanced by the friction of the pivot and of the residual air in the globe.
On the other hand, if the effects arose from balanced stresses set up inside the globe by the radiation, the effects on the vanes and on the case would be of the nature of action and reaction, so that the establishment of motion of the vanes in one direction would involve impulsion of the case in the opposite direction; but when the motion became steady there would no longer be any torque either on the vanes or on the case, and the latter would therefore come back to its previous position of equilibrium; finally, when the light was turned off, the decay of the motion of the vanes would involve impulsion of the case in the direction of their motion until the moment of the restoring torque arising from the suspension of the case had absorbed the angular momentum in the system.

Rule breaking in adolescence and entrepreneurial status: An empirical investigation
Zhen Zhang, Richard D. Arvey
WPC: Management and Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship researchers contend that many entrepreneurs are rule breakers in order to succeed in their venturing processes. Few studies have examined the longitudinal relationship between negative forms of rule breaking in adolescence and entrepreneurial status in adulthood. Drawing upon Willis' [Willis, R.H. 1963. Two dimensions of conformity-nonconformity. Sociometry 26: 499-513.] theory on nonconformity, this study hypothesizes a positive relationship between an individual's modest rule breaking in adolescence and entrepreneurial status. Results (N = 165) support this hypothesis and also show that modest rule breaking serves as a mediator in the relationship between risk propensity and entrepreneurial status. These results have important implications for entrepreneurs' ethical decision making.

'Fireflies': Theater Review
A preacher and his wife experience marital turmoil in 'Fireflies,' the new Civil Rights-era drama by Donja R. Love, author of 'Sugar in Our Wounds.'
By Frank Scheck

Ahron R. Foster
Watching the new drama by Donja R. Love, it's hard to avoid feeling that the playwright was checking off items on a list. Following Sugar in Our Wounds as the second part of a planned trilogy "exploring queer love through black history," the play is receiving its world premiere in a powerfully acted production at the Atlantic Theater Company.
Fireflies deals with issues of infidelity, rape, same-sex love, abortion and domestic abuse, just to name a few. Add to that references to the 1963 Birmingham church bombing in which four little girls were killed and plot elements recalling the FBI's surveillance of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the tragic case of Emmett Till, and the play emerges as one seriously overstuffed 90-minute drama. And I haven't even begun talking about the heavy-handed symbolism.
Bertie Carvel and Jonny Lee Miller to Lead Broadway Cast of Rupert Murdoch Play 'Ink'
Set in the fall of 1963 "somewhere down South, where the sky is on fire," the two-hander takes place in the kitchen of the home of Charles (Khris Davis), a preacher working in the Civil Rights movement, and his wife Olivia (DeWanda Wise), who actually writes all of his speeches. Olivia is clearly deeply disturbed by the violence surrounding her, illustrated by the glowing red sky and frequent loud sounds of explosions.
"I keep hearing them bombs," she says mournfully to God. "When will it stop?"
When Charles returns home after a brief work trip, the passion between the two is made evident in their lusty interactions and quick visit to the bedroom. But their playful sexuality masks serious issues in the relationship. Olivia is pregnant, but she knows that her marriage isn't working and asks God to take the baby back.
After she encounters evidence of Charles cheating on her while on the road, a serious argument ensues in which he accuses her of being in love with another woman, producing a series of letters addressed to "Ruby" that he found under a floorboard. But the reality of Olivia's secret relationship turns out to be much more complicated.
'Gloria: A Life' Creators Reveal Nearly All-Female Production Team (Exclusive)
The title, Fireflies, is a reference to the souls of black children making their way to heaven, but the play strains under the weight of its forced poeticism and awkward transitions. The work barely has room to breathe, with the playwright delivering an emotional whiplash-inducing series of plot revelations and reversals that stretch credibility to the breaking point. The evening has the feel of a timeline of Civil Rights milestones tied into domestic melodrama. There are powerful moments, to be sure, but the whole adds up to less than the sum of its parts.
It's no fault of the actors, who deliver persuasive performances that are all the more impressive under the circumstances. As he previously demonstrated with his memorable turn as a Jack Johnson-like boxer in the Lincoln Center production of The Royale, Davis has physical presence and charisma to spare. And Wise, currently starring as Nola Darling on the Netflix adaptation of Spike Lee's She's Gotta Have It, is absolutely riveting as the tortured Olivia, who has deep misgivings about bringing a child into a world wracked by racial hatred and violence.
Director Saheem Ali has delivered a stylish production, making haunting use of sound, lighting and projection effects to convey the turmoil of the period. But while there's no denying its noble intentions and theatrical and thematic ambition, Fireflies fails to take flight.

33⅓ Soundtrack From Twin Peaks by Clare Nina Norelli – Review
Soundtracks should enhance a project rather than detract from it. What would Lawrence of Arabia be without its amazing theme, or Star Wars without John Williams' knee-trembling score?
Sadly these days there seems to be a trend for composers to overstate matters, providing stirring strings and horn sections that tell the audience how to feel, rather than letting the story do it for them.
Many of these works tend to be almost carbon copies of others, and where you could once pick out a John Barry from a John Williams, everything has begun to sound the same.
That will never, however, be said of Angelo Badalamenti, the teacher-turned-songwriter-turned TV and film composer who became synonymous with director David Lynch from 1986's Blue Velvet to Mulholland Drive in 2001. Quirky does not do him justice; he is a true original, capable of entertaining audiences in any number of ways while never distracting them from the tale unfolding on screen.
Sound has always been important to Lynch, whether via music or effects, so he found a kindred spirit in Badalamenti, their partnership arguably reaching its zenith with the Twin Peaks TV series in the early 1990s.
"I viewed the show for the fifth time recently, and even I struggle at some points"
Clare Nina Norelli's book about his work on the project is exhaustive – or exhausting, depending on your viewpoint. Parts of it are fascinating, particularly the opening section which details Badalamenti's early life, as well as his working practices, both with and without Lynch. Sadly there isn't enough of that – instead, there are technical details that even if, like me, you have a rudimentary understanding of musical notation, will be baffling to say the least.
Some passages need to be read two or three times before some kind of understanding sinks in. Unless you happen to have watched Twin Peaks recently, chances are you will struggle to remember exactly which pieces Norelli is talking about. A huge fan, I viewed the show for the fifth time recently, and even I struggle at some points.
Perhaps I'm being unfair in my expectations – what I wanted was more of a 'making of' book rather than a breakdown of its compositions. There will be an audience for this work somewhere, but it will be niche to say the least. 'Peaks' fans are unlikely to feel as if they're learning anything useful from it.
What's more, you can bet an updated version will be available soon – the much-longed-for third season begins on May 21st (a nice birthday present for yours truly), and Badalamenti has returned to the fray. No doubt he will have produced something extraordinary – but I'd rather listen to it than read about it.

Plan 9 from outta nowhere?
2007-06-14 / Rodger Payne / 0 Comments
The U.S. is now going to arm Sunni Iraqi groups — some of the very same groups that were called "insurgents" just days ago — if those groups pledge to fight al Qaeda of Iraq. Reportedly, this strategy has proven successful in al-Anbar province and will now be tested in other Sunni strongholds.
This is an interesting development, to say the least.
At first glance, the plan seems ridiculous. The U.S. could effectively be arming both sides in a civil war. "The Daily Show" spent a lot of time Wednesday making fun of the ploy, running all kinds of footage of media talking heads saying "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
However, the move just might be the best strategic move the U.S. has attempted in Iraq.
As Marc Lynch argued in late summer 2006, neither the Iraqi Sunni nor Shia want to see Iraq dominated by al Qaeda.
This latest agreement between the U.S. and Sunni groups could be a sign that the Sunni want to eliminate the most radical and violent elements of the insurgency. At minimum, the Sunni likely recognize that the end of al Qaeda might mean the end of a major U.S. presence in Iraq. Most Iraqis want that.
Given the relatively small number of foreign fighters supposedly in Iraq, this mission could be more attainable than prior stated U.S. war goals.
The Shia and Kurds, who have been doing relatively well under the U.S. presence, might now receive the message that they have to get more serious about sharing power with the Sunni — and achieving more of what has been expected of them by the U.S., such as an oil revenue-sharing plan.
Recent Turkish attacks on "Kurdistan" indirectly apply the same sort of pressure. Many Kurds must think that there's no way NATO ally Turkey would attack Kurds in Iraq without tacit U.S. approval.
Of course, without al Qaeda and the U.S., there is some chance that the country would be safe for those who want to pursue all-out Shia-Sunni civil war.
Before worrying about that too much, ask yourself this question: Is there any evidence that the U.S. is significantly constraining the potential violence?
