Be it the Greek myth, Shaw's 1913 play or another adaptation, the Pygmalion story unsettles me. Its themes of transformation and drive are laudable as are some of the parable moments near the end. At the same time, I can't ignore the highly problematic gender dynamics, hierarchical relationships and assumptions about wealth and class. Even the Pygmalion Effect – the correlation linking external expectations with achievement outcomes – is laden with complexity. Sure, positive reinforcement and encouragement are good things, but what about issues of control and agency?
St. Petersburg-based Eifman Ballet looks to this provocative source material in The Pygmalion Effect, choreographed by Boris Eifman and currently touring the US. On Friday evening, the full-length work landed at Cal Performances, and as the lights went down, I wondered what this dance version might bring to the table. Over the next two hours, an impressive production emerged. Yes, the narrative still had its inherent challenges, but the choreography, performances and design all riveted with drama, intensity and humor.
Lyubov Andreyeva and Dmitry Fisher in The Pygmalion Effect.
Pygmalion Effect covered all the classic plot points: a sassy young woman, Gala and her father, Holmes, are down on their luck; Leon, the male savior character vows to shape her into someone new; and after the transformation, Gala faces an internal dilemma as she tries to reconcile her two realities. But Eifman's container for the story was anything but typical, instead placing the action in the stately, elegant and cutthroat world of ballroom dance. In Pygmalion Effect, Leon (Oleg Gabyshev) is a professional ballroom dancer who, after a bizarre and unnerving money exchange with Holmes (Dmitry Fisher), pledges to train a headstrong Gala (Lyubov Andreyeva) for a life/career in that intoxicating sphere. A place very different from what she has experienced thus far, one of glitz and glamour, where sparkling sequins, feathers and fringe reign supreme and Art Deco refinements grace each room (incredible costumes and sets by Olga Shaishmelashvili and Zinovy Margolin, respectively).
By far, Pygmalion Effect's top honors go to its dynamic range of characters and their choreographic vocabulary. Of course the principals, but also the zany crew of tourists, maids, ballroom dancers and street marauders that weave in and out of the space. In each instance, their movement was so fitting, not at all derivative, and the interpretations, impeccable. Grounded, weighty syntax peppered the phrases for the marauders, or 21st-century ragamuffins – flexed feet, bent extensions and flat-footed jumps suggesting a bawdy uncouthness. In contrast, the ballroom scenes oozed precision, allure and grace. From dynamic lifts to split high kicks to extreme layouts, every movement had such charged clarity and athletic flourish. And Eifman astutely wove elements of each extreme through Pygmalion Effect's main arc, Gala's journey. Her solos in Act I definitely displayed the former quality, albeit with more humor than the chorus. Then in Act II, her physicality indeed shifted, to more pointed feet, elongated posture and a lighter épaulement. With pure artistry and technical fortitude, Andreyeva navigated this multi-faceted character with such nuance. From one instant to the next, she kept Gabyshev's Leon and the viewer in a delicious state of uncertainty – was she on board or not, was she feigning change, was she the one really in charge – only she knew the truth.
Oleg Gabyshev and Lyubov Andreyeva in The Pygmalion Effect.
To score the Pygmalion Effect, Eifman went with a multitude of short musical selections, composed by various members of the Strauss family (along with one Mozart concerto). With forward motion and uplifting dynamics, the set of waltzy, splendid melodies worked quite well. That is, with one exception. The majority of the musical compositions ended in a 'ta-da' style cadence, which was mirrored on stage by either a flashy vignette or frozen posture. What resulted were (very) frequent internal applause breaks, which compromised the overall flow of the piece. Also, there were a couple of moments of purposeful absurdity where Pygmalion Effect seemed to vacation in Dance Theater expressionism. A totally valid artistic/creative approach, though when it only happens once or twice (here, a hoverboarding angel and a sedating remote control helmet), it feels out of place.
Having said that, considering Pygmalion Effect's theatricality, movement, design and superb dancing, these two structural issues were minor. Even though the narrative is tough for me, and I think it would be interesting to see the gender roles reversed, this performance was thoroughly enjoyable, and I was all in.

Renee Renouf says:
Heather writes an excellent appraisal and evidences a wonderfully acute eye. Had I not seen several of Eiffman's earlier works, this oeuvre probably would be about the best he has created. She is to be congratulated for their astute observations.
Rhoda Alvarez says:
I was amazed that the Zellerbach audience did not applaud wildly after the performance. They applaud for almost nothing and I thought this was an extraordinary program.
Kathleen Epstein says:
Excellent review of this most innovative company! Boris Eifman is without a doubt the finest choreographer of our times, and his dancers display the finest technical and artistic abilities in the dance world today. As to the criticism that gender issues were not addressed, just physically speaking, would it even be possible for the photo displayed with this critique to become role reversed?
AdminBM says:
"…would it even be possible for the photo displayed with this critique to become role reversed?"
Er, possibly not – which is why you need choreography created with that notion in mind. For an example see this video of a work created by San Francisco Ballet's Myles Thatcher for Scottish Ballet: https://www.scottishballet.co.uk/tv/frontiers
Re: Scottish Ballet – This is interesting but certainly not innovative. Netherlands Dans Theater was doing this kind of work in the 1960s.
Who said anything about it being innovative choreography? What I would say is that it's an example of 'different' partnering and also using video and location differently. It will resonate with some and not with others – rather like Eifman's work, I fancy!

NASCAR Nationwide Series: Ford 300
Topics: Ford 300
Landon Cassill
Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
HOMESTEAD, FLORIDA
THE MODERATOR: We're going to roll into our post-race press conferences here for the Ford 300 at Homestead Miami. I appreciate these guys' patience up here today. We've got three of our competitors, including the team owner.
Our second place finisher in today's race, Kyle Busch. He drives the No. 18 Z-Line Designs Toyota. And our 2008 NASCAR Nationwide series Raybestos Rookie of the Year is Landon Cassill. He drives for J. R. Motorsports. Congratulations to you, Landon; congratulations to you, Dale, Jr.
I'm going to ask Landon right now your thoughts about winning the Rookie of the Year award.
LANDON CASSILL: I'm just really proud of everybody, my whole team, for working so hard for me this year. I ran a limited schedule, and I had some really good races, and at times it didn't look so good, and at times it looked great.
You know, it was a real compliment to me, and it was flattering when we went to Phoenix, and all my guys knew it was my last race, and their focus was getting me the finish I needed. You know, I can't thank them enough for that, for being that focused on winning Rookie of the Year.
My guys, National Guard, supported me all year, Dale, Jr. who owns my car and the team, and it's an honor, and I hope I'm a good rookie.
THE MODERATOR: Dale, your thoughts about Landon winning this award?
DALE EARNHARDT, JR.: Well, I was proud of Landon. He did a good job for the most part of the year. He got the finishes he needed to win. He had some pretty good competition, I think Brian, and he got some really good finishes at parts of the year and showed a lot of good -- showed he's got a lot of talent.
THE MODERATOR: Kyle, you had an outstanding season in the NASCAR Nationwide series, I believe a record-tying ten victories, second-place finish here today. You've got to feel good about how you performed in the series this year and today's race. Your thoughts?
KYLE BUSCH: It was a good day, I guess, today. But we started behind a little bit this weekend. We unloaded and we weren't great, so we came a long way and we built a lot of crutch into that car to make it go fast. Unfortunately there in the last run it was too loose to start and then all of a sudden it just flipped a switch and started getting tight.
After the race there was damage on the front end, so I don't know if there was a culprit or not. Never really had that all day, just unfortunate there that we couldn't keep up with the 60.
But a solid effort by the team, once again. You know, if somebody goes for the championship in the 18 or the 20 next year, can certainly be a force to be reckoned with.
Q. Kyle, can you talk about the 20 team winning the owners' championship? Do you feel like you were a significant part of that?
KYLE BUSCH: I wasn't a significant part of it. I only won one race in the thing. But, you know, they had a great car all year long, as well. You know, for it to come down to the final race like that, it was pretty cool to see, and for Joey to run the amount of races that he ran in the car and to win the races that he won, I believe, at Kentucky, he did his part of the deal.
You know, everybody that was in that car, myself, Joey, Denny and Tony all won, and we're all a part of that deal. But the big pat on the back and the big support needs to go back to the guys at the shop, Dave Rogers and Jason Ratcliff who weren't here the rest of the year and for the rest of the guys that stepped up for the rest of the year to make that thing go fast and stay up front.
Q. Landon, how stressful was it to know that your championship, your rookie title, hinged on a race that you weren't in? And, also, the hopes that this catapults you into something better next year?
LANDON CASSILL: That's funny because I was spotting for David Green tonight, and one eye on David and one eye on Brian all night. But I was just kind of watching with one eye closed, just kind of cringing the whole time, especially when Brian was in the Top 10. He had a good race car early on.
You know, we really could have easily started and parked a car and gotten the rookie points, but we knew what races we had to run, and we did what we had to do. I'm glad that it turned out the way it did. I had fun up on the spotter's stand tonight anyways.
Next year -- you know, the economy is tough right now and everybody is struggling. It's just tough right now. You know, I think you probably even see the championship team struggling. We've seen that in the past.
Rookie of the Year is a very prestigious award. You know, I've said before that it's something that Raybestos has been involved with for many number of years and something that as a child growing up Raybestos Rookie of the Year was a phrase that I had known since I was a little kid. So to be able to have a title like that is awesome, and hopefully it does catapult into a ride or something.
Q. For Dale, I guess it's kind of the same questions, what does this do for Landon for next year with you?
DALE EARNHARDT, JR.: Well, we just hope somebody is going to call us here in the next several months so we can put something together for next year and get the 5 car back to a full-time program. We've been searching around for several different deals, and we actually had a program for 18 races, but it ended up conflicting with something else way, way down the line, so it wasn't even anything to do with me or my team.
But it's tough. You find something, you think you've got it saved and you think you're going to have a sponsorship, and it don't work out. It's real tough.
Q. Kyle, you led a lot of the race there through the middle portion, and then Carl was able to get by you. Did your car change or the track change? What happened?
KYLE BUSCH: I alluded to it a little bit earlier. I think that the culprit was a piece of damage on the front end. There was a hole in the bottom grille screen, so I'm not sure if that was exactly it or not, what that does in the tunnel as far as front down-force goes. But I just got so tight all of a sudden. The guys said they didn't see that hole there on the final pit stop coming down Pit Road or anything, so we don't know when it happened.
I guess I run over something and got a hole there, which just got me extremely tight, and I couldn't even get the front end of the car to stick to keep up with the 60. It was just not meant to be tonight. I'm blaming it on the hole.
Q. This is for Kyle and also for Dale. Last night the Truck championship was decided by seven points. It's determined in a format that includes every race of the season. Tonight the Nationwide championship was determined by 21 points with every race of the season counting. You know, tomorrow is going to be the end of the Chase and a guy is probably going to win it in a runaway. What are your thoughts on maybe going back to a regular points system?
KYLE BUSCH: To me, I don't know. I mean, you've got the guys running NASCAR who run NASCAR for a reason. So we don't know a whole lot. Looks like there's more exciting championship format the other way around if you look back at the way Jimmie has come back in the past ten races or whatever, and he still has the lead in the old system, too. But it's a little bit closer. At least three guys, I think, would have a shot for it here in the final race.
But it is what it is, and, you know, I guess it was broken beforehand and now they thought they fixed it and now it's broke again. I don't know what to do to it.
DALE EARNHARDT, JR.: Yeah, I can't really add anything to that. You know, you can't keep tweaking on it and keep messing with it. I mean, it is what it is. The old system would have worked this year, next year it might not have. Maybe if we were in the old system, everything would have been different. But we might have a runaway steal. Kyle was pretty far ahead. Chase makes you race a little differently and things happen, and whatever. I don't know if you can just -- it wouldn't matter. I mean, it is what it is.
Q. For Landon, you and Brian are close friends, and I guess what's the card game going to be like next Monday?
LANDON CASSILL: He'll probably beat me, and I don't know, it'll be good. We've been friends the whole time, all through this, and I don't see why that would change. I mean, we're good buddies and good competitors, as well. I hope it doesn't change. But he'll probably beat me at cards; they usually do.
Q. Kyle, despite all your success this season with the Car of Tomorrow, is there anything you would do to change it to get a better feel for the car? I mean, can you just kind of give an overview of what it's been like to drive that model this year?
KYLE BUSCH: Man, that was the wrong question to ask me (laughter). I'm going to keep my mouth shut.
It's very, very frustrating to drive that thing every day or every week. You know, it is what it is, and there's a lot of things that they could do to help us out to help it drive better. They just never listen, don't want to listen. They're going to leave it the way it is, no model change, pretty much because they don't want to -- the economy is bad and all that stuff, whatever. They're not going to change.
There's a new nose for the Ford F-150 and they're not changing that. All the trucks are staying the same and all the Nationwide series is staying the same, everything because of the economy. The Cup cars might as well stay the same and we'll have the same shows next year that we had this year probably.

This is a review of "Phantom Head" recorded by The Scaramanga Six. The review was written by Jonny Dickin in 2013.
I had never heard of The Scaramanga Six, despite the fact they have been a band for around 15 years, before the album landed in my inbox for review. I was instantly keen to get stuck in to the album after reading that it was produced by none other than Steve Albini (Nirvana, Shellac, The Jesus Lizard, Iggy Pop and an endless list of impressive names).
The opening track, "I Will Crush Your Heart" is very Pixies-esque, with a simple bass and drum rhythm driving the track with a couple of scraggly guitar lines whaling away on top. Paul Morricone (vocals/guitar) has an amazing way of combining classical crooning with pop melodies. His voice is very special and something seldom seen in alternative rock. It is very refreshing to hear vocals like this used to their full potential.
If there's one thing I noticed whilst listening to this album, it's that it cannot be pinned down to one style. Every track brings something different to the sound. "I Am the Rain" and "The Bristol Butcher" carry a classic rock sound, reminiscent of The Who whilst "Blunt Force Trauma", "Twist The Knife" and "The Cardinal" have a much heavier, at times, quite punk rock vibe. Twist The Knife shines as a high point for the album. The song tells a story throughout the verses before slapping in you in the face with its harsh chorus. It's in these aggressive moments that Albini's signature sound is most prominent, especially in the drums. If anything, I would say this album would benefit from more songs in the vein, but that would detract from the diversity of this album. The way it shifts direction and doesn't abide by any rules in terms of how it "should" sound is something that a lot of bands could really learn from.
Towards the end of the album, I felt a little drained. The songs seemed dragged out at times and I often felt bits could be taken out, or at least shortened in order for the album to capture my attention easier, which is vital on a first listen. That's not to say the second half of the album dwindles in comparison to the first, just that to listen to the album from start to finish can seem like quite a daunting task.
Phantom Head is a brilliant collection of songs and one that I am sure to revisit multiple times. But it's not an album I can put on from start to finish and enjoy every moment whatever mood I'm in. If I felt the need to listen to fast, brash songs, then there's a few to choose from here. If I felt I wanted to listen to something with a darker edge, again, there are multiple choices within. This album almost feels like a greatest hits. Nearly every track is a winner, but they all carry a different feeling as though they were created for different releases.

One Year On: 'Right To Be Forgotten' Still Divisive
by John Lister on May, 14 2015 at 08:05AM EDT
Google has revealed that it rejects the majority of complaints it gets from users asking for embarrassing or false content to be removed from its search results. It seems to be getting most decisions "right," but there's still concern about the process.
The issue involves a ruling by the European Union of Justice, which handles those laws that apply across 28 countries in Europe. It affects any search engine that offers results to European users, even if the search engine or the sites it lists are based elsewhere.
The "right to be forgotten" ruling involves cases where users have asked a website to remove content about them, usually because the content is negative. It stems from a case where a Spanish man wanted the removal of a 16-year-old newspaper article about his house being repossessed.
Web Pages Removed From Search Results
If a website refuses to remove a page or ignores a removal request, the request can then be forwarded to search engines. In turn, search engines are required to stop showing the page predominantly - and only when European users carry out a search.
It's up to the search engine how to handle the complaint, though guidelines say it should take into account how old the information is, and whether the person is a public figure. If the search engine refuses the request, the issue can be taken to court.
With it now one year since the ruling took effect, Google has calculated that it has received a total of 254,271 requests covering 922,638 pages. Of those, it agreed to remove 58.7 percent of the pages and rejected the remaining 41.3 percent. (Source: google.com)
Criminals Get Thumbs Down From Google
Google has published some examples of the cases it has handled and the way it decided them.
Generally it upholds cases where the person has done nothing wrong, such as a woman who asked for pages listing her address to be removed, or a man who wanted pages detailing criminal accusations against him to be removed because he was later cleared. Cases it rejected included several instances of people asking for the removal of pages with details of serious crimes they had committed.
For the most part, the decisions seem to have been fair and reasonable. A British data regulator looked at cases and found only 48 where it disagrees with Google's conclusion.
There is still a big debate about the future of the process, however. Critics argue that it's unfair that firms like Google should have the responsibility and power of deciding which pages stay online or are effectively buried. Meanwhile, European officials want Google and company to extend the process and remove the affected pages from its results worldwide, not just in Europe - but, Google has outright rejected this idea. (Source: engadget.com)
Should web pages be removed from search engine results if they contain embarrassing and negative information, even though it's true? Is it fair to ask search engines like Google to make the decision? How should the Internet community balance the rights to privacy and to free speech?

Why blame the searchers?
Permalink Submitted by guitardogg on Thu, 05/14/2015 - 10:47
Why is it the responsibility of the search engines to police the internet? If a site is posting something that it shouldn't, that site needs to remove the pages, end of story. That's like blaming the paperboy when a newspaper gets the facts wrong! We all know that there is a tremendous amount of crap on the web. Just like there is a tremendous amount of false and damaging information on TV and in printed media. That is the double-edged sword of free speech. Sure, blocking at the search engine level is convenient, so I get why the EU wants it, but it is just not right. And at the end of the day, those pages are still out there anyway.


Landscapers, or landscaping technicians, maintain the grounds of a property. Landscaping is an almost exclusively outdoor job, and it is physically demanding as most of the work requires manual labor. Occasionally, however, landscapers will have to work in an office, meeting with clients, drawing up layout designs, and maintaining records. Landscapers work with a variety of equipment, including but not limited to lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, weed whackers, leaf blowers and other power equipment. Additionally, landscapers work with shovels, spades, rakes, hoes and other handheld tools. Landscapers' common jobs include mowing and edging lawns, clearing areas of debris and leaves, planting and watering flowerbeds, removing weeds and unsightly plants, cleaning pathways and sidewalks, pruning and shaping bushes and trees, determining the correct usage of pesticides and fertilizers, and other general maintenance.

Ken Jennings May Be in Line to Take Over for Alex Trebek as 'Jeopardy!' Host
Though Ken is at present taking over a behind-the-scenes position, some are questioning whether or not the announcement that he was becoming a member of the present implies that he could finally take Alex Trebek's position as host. Over the previous yr, Alex has been public about his battle with colon most cancers, and the present could also be planning for a world the place he's now not able to or serious about internet hosting the present.
If that is the case, Ken would make sense as a future host. He is probably the most profitable contestant within the present's historical past, and he is already stated that he by no means plans to compete on the present once more. "Although I've performed my final spherical of Jeopardy! as a contestant, I'm delighted to have the chance to stay concerned with my favourite present," Jennings stated in an announcement. "I am nonetheless in on all of the motion, however I don't have to fret about phrasing issues within the type of a query anymore."
Though it is potential that Ken is being groomed for Alex's job, there's been no public indication of that but. For now, it appears he'll largely be working behind the scenes. That will go away him higher positioned to take over in entrance of the digicam when the time comes, however for now, Alex remains to be glad to be doing his job as host.

Watch Extreme Play "Get the Funk Out" from New 'PornograffittiLive25' DVD
By Damian Fanelli 2016-10-20T17:56:09Z Artist
(Image credit: (provided))
Today, GuitarWorld.com presents the U.S. premiere of a new "Get the Funk Out" performance video by Extreme.
The clip, which you can watch below, is from Pornograffitti Live 25/Metal Meltdown, the band's new Blu-ray/DVD/CD that just happens to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Extreme's multi-Platinum, Grammy-nominated 1990 album, Pornograffitti.
Pornograffitti is a guitar tour-de-force featuring incredible riffs, an amazing guitar tone (featuring Nuno Bettencourt's signature Washburn N4 guitar, Bill Lawrence L500-XL pickup and the classic ADA MP-1 preamp) and wildly creative, technically fascinating guitar playing.
(Photo: Brian Malloy)
Directed by Brian Lockwood (Bon Jovi, Metallica, Motley Crue), Pornograffitti Live 25/Metal Meltdown includes a Blu-ray, DVD and audio CD of a complete concert filmed May 30, 2015, at The Joint at the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas. It also features Rockshow, a documentary that takes fans through Extreme's story, complete with interviews, Eighties footage and an exclusive photo gallery.
"It was a great thrill to perform Pornograffitti in its entirety," says singer Gary Cherone. "Some of these songs were never played live before so we had to go back and relearn them for the tour. The album was a watershed moment in the bands career…it's when we came in to our own and it will always be special."
Bettencourt adds, "The band always prided itself on its live performance. Over the years, some of these songs have evolved where the band actually plays them better now than when we had recorded them. Hope you enjoy it."
Pornograffitti Live 25/Metal Meltdownwill be released October 28 via Loud & Proud Records. You can preorder it here.

Congratulatory article to those who resigned from the junta and tribal government in Juba
by Nyamilepedia February 23, 2017 04
Lt. Gen. Thomas Cirillo Swaka, former Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistic(Photo: file)
Feb 23, 2017(Nyamilepedia) —— I, col. Loku Lo Laja, the governor of Central Equatoria State would like to take this opportunity to appreciate and congratulate the brilliant and wise decision taken by: Lt. Gen. Thomas Cirilo, deputy chief of staff for logistic. Lt. Gen. Gabriel Duop Lam, South Sudan Minister for Labour and Public Services. Brig. Gen. Kamilo Otwari, Col. Khalid Ono Loki, SPLA military judge who quit the tribal jeing government in Juba. The reasons for your resignations are all the same comprehensive challenges which are not been address by the regime in Juba and has led the current regime to fail the Country. The tribal regime in Juba had created hopeless situation to the entire people of South Sudan, because, it is crystal clear that the regime has turned the country, South Sudan into miserable fail state; politically, economically, socially and etc. The leadership in Juba had made the absolute political power of the country to rest in the hands of tribal ruling mafia. And these tribal elites had turned the country, South Sudan into severe violence resulting into rampant killings of innocent people in Equatoria, Western Bahr El Ghazal, and Upper Nile, and uncontrolled land grabbing especially in Equatoria.
The current leadership has also torn the young Nation leaving it without political rights and freedoms and without strong institutions or laws to protect all its citizens regardless of their tribes and Religion etc. This has led the people of South Sudan into total loss of confidence in the incumbent Junta regime in Juba.
In this regards, these present mass challenges that the junta regime in Juba has failed to address due to its mistaken tribal policies which resulted into crisis management, economy total collapse of the country; the SPLM/A- IO is determined to confront such challenges by reforming the entire superstructure with the new democratic federal State.
The SPLM/A- IO under the leadership of Dr. Riek Machar, feel duty to pursue constructive policies which will address this miserable situation and create enabling environment for the development of South Sudan. The destructive individual interests and tribal policies manifested by the regime in Juba will be put to an end by SPLM/A – IO in order to allow peace and development in the Country.
The mission of SPLM/A – IO under Dr. Riek is to offer the South Sudanese people a better alternative system of governance based on democratic federal government. It is the most preferred system accepted by the majority of South Sudanese excluding the current tribal elites who are destroying the country. These elites are threatened by federal system of the governance because such system empowers its citizens economically with the devolution of resources and, politically with the devolution of power to the grass roots.
The SPLM/A- IO noticed that, the successful Federal system of the governance will have common characteristics that stipulate the distribution of power among the states ( not 28 tribal states but 21 states with historical and territorial boundaries) to ensure neutrality and equality in the representation of communities and interests.
In the conclusion, I would like to say, for those who are still serving in this current tribal regime in Juba, you should know that, you are implementing tribal policies of JCE, since the system is Dinkanized, therefore you are logically and critically partly contributing to this hopeless situation of the severe killings and suffering of our innocent people in South Sudan.
Again, I would like to say, Congratulations to those who resigned, history will record itself.

US: Laos obstructs probe for 3 missing men
The U.S. State Department says Lao authorities have obstructed embassy efforts to investigate the disappearance of three Laotian-Americans who went missing in southern Laos in January.
A department official said Tuesday two embassy staff traveled March 6 to Savannakhet province to investigate reports that the men may have died in a car accident. Local officials refused to provide any information and physically prevented them from entering a site which may be related to the case.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to speak on the record about the case, said the U.S. will continue to press the Lao government for assistance.
Khammanh Kongdaravong says she is still waiting for information about her husband Souli, one of three missing U.S. residents.

HBO Max will cost $14.99 starting May 2020, with 10,000 hours of content
That's a lot of content
Muhammad Jarir Kanji
Source: WarnerMedia
HBO Max will launch in May 2020.
It will cost $14.99 per month.
There will be over 10,000 hours of content at launch, with 38 new and original series on HBO alone in the next year.
WarnerMedia is launching HBO Max with a bang in May of next year for a price of $14.99 per month, with over 10,000 hours of content, including the entire HBO library, a slate of original content and a "choice slate of acquired and library programming."
If you were hoping to have access to all of WarnerMedia's content's different brands, that bit of marketing speak means you'll probably be disappointed, but the company believes its highly curated content, even if less voluminous than competitors initially, will provide enough value to justify its $14.99 per month asking price. Quality over quantity seems to be HBO Max's driving philosophy.
That's especially true if you're a woman or below 40, as the company hopes to use its original content to balance out the demographic appeal of its varied and disparate stack of media properties. If you're even younger, you might relish The Not-so-late Show with Elmo that's also launching with the subscription service.
So, exactly what will the 10,000 hours of content comprise of? The entire HBO library, of course. HBO will be boasting 38 new and returning series on HBO Max in the next year, including new shows like The Gilded Age and The Nevers. There'll be 31 Max Originals in the same year. This will total 69 original in 2020, with the number rising to 88 the next year.
For young adults and anime lovers, there's also a curated offering of Adult Swim and Crunchyroll content. And HBO Max will have exclusive streaming rights for Studio Ghibli's movies, of course.
Coming to exclusives, there's a lot to talk about. HBO and Max Originals will be exclusive to HBO Max — naturally — but the streaming service will also have exclusive streaming rights to South Park and Rick and Morty. If you're a fan of sitcoms, HBO Max will also be the sole home of Friends and The Big Bang Theory. And, of course, you can't talk about HBO today without Game of Thrones. The company is commissioning a direct-to-series order for House of the Dragon, which will serve as a prequel to HBO's most acclaimed show to date.
More: HBO Max: Everything we know
On the silver screen, there will be 1,800 movies available at launch, including Todd Phillips' seminal Joker, which just became the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time. Also included are the last 10 years of DC's movie releases. Superman and Batman get special love in the DC universe, along with 40 years worth of their cinema history available to stream on HBO Max.
To recap, HBO Max will cost $14.99 per month at launch. If you're an existing HBO, AT&T TV or a mobile & broadband bundle subscriber, though, you'll get HBO Max for free, with the company aiming for a 'seamless' transition. A year after launch, the company plans to add an advertisement-supported tier that lowers the subscription price.
By that time, WarnerMedia will also have turned its attention to the rest of the world, with localized versions of the service launching in Latin America and Europe by 2021. The company hopes to have as many as 75-90 million subscribers worldwide within five years of launch, thanks to its 4 billion dollar investment in the product over the coming years.
"We will mobilize our entire company," said one of the execs on stage. That is undoubtedly evident given the scale of what WarnerMedia is trying to do. Whether customers will receive its efforts with as much enthusiasm remains to be seen.

$100 million donation to U of T will fuel AI
TORONTO – The University of Toronto has received its largest-ever donation, a $100-million gift to further the school's research on artificial intelligence, biomedicine and how new technologies can disrupt and enrich lives.
The donation from the Gerald Schwartz and Heather Reisman Foundation will in part go to a new 750,000-square-foot complex to be built at the northeast corner of College St. and Queen's Park starting this fall, school president Meric Gertler, the Toronto Star reported.
The school says the building will house the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence and the new Schwartz-Reisman Institute for Technology and Society.
Gertler said the gift will help spark Canadian innovation and examine how technology shapes people's lives.
"It is a new collective endeavour that will turbocharge innovation," Gertler said, calling the donation from Toronto billionaires Gerald Schwartz and Heather Reisman "unprecedented" in the school's history.
The new complex, which U of T said will be constructed in two phases, will house the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society, which will study emerging ethical issues surrounding the field of artificial intelligence.
Schwartz, who was born in Winnipeg, is the founder and CEO of private equity firm Onex Corporation. Reisman is the founder and CEO of bookseller Indigo.
"U of T is already a global leader in artificial intelligence, biomedicine and the intersections of society and technology," the couple told the university's website. "We're immensely proud and excited to be part of an initiative that will further spark innovation, anchor talent and ideas in Canada, and illuminate the importance of socially responsible technology."
The complex's first phase, a 250,000 square-foot, 12-storey tower, will also house the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence.
The Vector Institute, founded in 2017, is an independent non-profit affiliated with U of T and devoted to artificial intelligence research.
The institute's goals include leading "Ontario's efforts to build and sustain AI-based innovation, growth and productivity in Canada" and working with Canadian industry and public institutions to foster talent in the field.
"This new complex will contribute enormously to innovation at U of T," the institute's chief scientific adviser and U of T professor emeritus Geoffrey Hinton told the school's website. "It will help consolidate Toronto's leading position in the AI world."
The complex's second phase will include a 500,000-square-foot, 20-storey tower which will house laboratories in regenerative medicine, genetics and precision medicine, the school said.
The complex is designed by WEISS/MANFREDI architects. Renderings of the new building show a pair of tapered white towers.
The largest previous donation in the university's history was a $50-million gift in 2001 from the R. Samuel McLaughlin Foundation to the Faculty of Medicine.
Launched in 1952 by its namesake, then the leader of General Motors Canada, the organization sought to help finance the postgraduate studies of medical students.
The Ontario government, U of T, and four of its affiliated research hospitals matched that donation to a total of $150 million. The money was later used to launch a new virtual research institute to study diseases.

When I first started planning my trip to Washington DC, one of the many things I had on my Must-Do list was urban art hunting and I must say that DC did not disappoint in that department.
The quality of street art you encounter once you venture outside of the downtown area, where everything is so pristine and well preserved is amazing. I was in awe of the level of artistry, the colors and the stories behind most of these murals. I try not to ever use the word regret for I'm a firm believer in the theory that everything happens for a reason. But if there is one thing I wish I'd spent more time doing while in the US Nation's capital is Chasing Murals.

Q: Example 15.9 in Loring Tu's An Introduction to manifolds Example 15.9 is showed as follows in Loring Tu's An Introduction to manifolds:

Example 15.9 (Lines with irrational slope in a torus). Let $G$ be the torus $\mathbb{R}^2/\mathbb{Z}^2$ and $L$ a line through the origin in $\mathbb{R}^2$. The torus can also be represented by the unit square with the opposite edges identified. The image $H$ of $L$ under the projection $\pi:\mathbb{R}^2\longrightarrow\mathbb{R}^2/\mathbb{Z}^2$ is a closed curve if and only if the line $L$ goes through another lattice point, say $(m,n)\in\mathbb{Z}^2$. This is the case if and only if the slope of $L$ is $n/m$, a rational number or $\infty$; then $H$ is the image of finitely many line segments on the unit square. It is a closed curve diffeomorphic to a circle and is a regular submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^2/\mathbb{Z}^2$ (Figure 15.1).
If the slope of $L$ is irrational, then its image $H$ on the torus will never close up. In this case the restriction to $L$ of the projection map, $f=\pi|_L:L\longrightarrow\mathbb{R}^2/\mathbb{Z}^2$, is a one-to-one immersion. We give $H$ the topology and manifold structure induced from $f$.

It can be shown that $H$ is a dense subset of the torus [3, Example 111.6.15, p. 86]. Thus, $H$ is an immersed submanifold but not a regular submanifold of the torus $\mathbb{R}^2/\mathbb{Z}^2$.

Whatever the slope of $L$, its image $H$ in $\mathbb{R}^2/\mathbb{Z}^2$ is an abstract subgroup of the torus, an immersed submanifold, and a Lie group. Therefore, $H$ is a Lie subgroup of the torus.
I see that $H$ is an immersed submanifold, but I cannot understand how $H$ is an immersed submanifold but not a regular submanifold of the torus $\mathbb R^2/\mathbb Z^2$ is deduced from previous context. Can anyone explain the details for me?

A: In order for $H$ to be a regular submanifold, the natural map from $H$ into $\Bbb R^2/\Bbb Z^2$ should be a homeomorphism onto its image. But it is not, since the image is not locally connected. On the other hand, every manifold is locally connected, since it is locally homeomorphic to some $\Bbb R^n$ (in this case, $n=1$).

You Are Here : Home / News and public notices/ News articles / Make Your Own Bosisto's Eucalyptus Wool Wash
Make your own Bosisto's Eucalyptus wool wash – that's the invitation offered by Inglewood's Blue Eucy Museum as part of its contribution to "Inglewood Alive", the community's annual town festival.
Planned for Sunday 6 November, the event will feature a vintage fashion parade, busking competition, hundreds of classic and contemporary cars and motorcycles, wood chopping, live music, children's activities, stationary engines, market stalls, town garage sales and a lively mix of food vendors and collectables stores.
The hands-on workshop will start at 2pm at the museum, led by ambassador Whitney Nankervis and volunteers.
Ms Nankervis said the festival would mean a busy day for her band of volunteers.
"We're about to start promoting the workshop locally, on Facebook and Instagram, as well as distributing fliers from our stall in the main street," she said.
"The museum will also be open on the day from 10am to 4pm for people to visit and cost of the workshop will be $15.
"We'll give people a short talk, then provide all the ingredients they need to make their own wool wash to take home using Bosisto's oil and recipe.
"The session will conclude with complimentary coffee and cake for participants."
The museum is home to a variety of displays outlining the stories of the eucalyptus oil industry in the district, including historic artefacts, video and static displays and a working model of the distillation process.
A retail area offers food and drinks, books, souvenirs and a full range of eucalyptus oil products.
The Bosisto's story stretches back to 1848, when 21-year-old Yorkshire pharmacist Joseph Bosisto arrived in Adelaide.
Joseph moved to Victoria in search of gold, but instead opened a pharmacy in Richmond.
Four years later, he opened Australia's first commercial distillery, at Dandenong Creek, followed by three more close by.
By 1891, Bosisto's Oil of Eucalyptus was a world-wide success, winning prizes in 17 international exhibitions, but, by 1950, overseas competition had sparked a decline.
Current owners the Abbott family bought the company in 1974 and new product lines began to appear.

TikTok says it already committed to government oversight of U.S. data security

(Reuters) – Video-sharing app TikTok said on Saturday it has already committed to the U.S. government oversight of data security in the country, and that it was "disappointed" by the Trump administration's decision to ban it from U.S. app stores from Sunday.
The ban on new U.S. downloads of the app, owned by China's ByteDance, could still be rescinded by President Donald Trump before it takes effect if the company seals a deal with Oracle Corp that addresses concerns about the security of users' data.
TikTok said that in its proposal to the U.S. government, it has already agreed to measures like "third-party audits, verification of code security, and the US government oversight of US data security."
The ban is in response to a pair of executive orders issued by Trump on Aug. 6 that gave the Commerce Department 45 days to determine what transactions to block from the apps he deemed pose a threat to national security. That deadline expires on Sunday.
Commerce Department officials said they were taking the extraordinary step because of the risks posed by the apps' collection of data. China and the companies have denied U.S. user data is collected for spying.
"An American Technology provider would be responsible for maintaining and operating the TikTok network in the US, which would include all services and data serving US consumers," TikTok added in the statement.
