World's Best Architects and Designers Are Invited to Renew The Barbican Centre
The City of London Corporation has launched its search for a design team to develop and deliver plans for a major renewal of the Barbican Centre.
The City of London Corporation has launched its search for a design team to develop and deliver plans for a major renewal of the Barbican Centre. The Barbican Renewal project, first announced in February, puts culture front-and-centre of the City's recovery from the pandemic.
The Barbican is one of London's most ambitious and unique architectural achievements; it is a global icon of brutalist architecture, renowned for its scale of ambition and consistency of design. Opened by HM The Queen in 1982, the Barbican is approaching its 40th birthday, and there is the opportunity to mark this milestone with a vision that enables the building to meet the needs of 21st century artists, audiences and communities.
Applications are invited from multi-disciplinary teams who have the skills, experience and ambition to deliver a complex and detailed project whilst respecting its Grade-II listing status.
The City Corporation - the founder and principal funder of the Barbican – is seeking submissions from practices working together: architects, engineers, sustainability and heritage consultants and others, who can embed equality, diversity and inclusion into their creative vision.
The initial brief allows for the Barbican Centre to be considered in its entirety – from upgrading venues and transforming underused areas into new flexible spaces, to improving the welcome, navigating and wayfinding. Embedding digital technology across the building to enable the Barbican to connect with a global audience is also a major focus.
The Renewal Project will also tackle a critical need to make major improvements to the building's environmental performance. Under its Climate Action Strategy, the City Corporation commits to achieving net zero carbon status for its own operations by 2027 and its investment and supply chain by 2040.
The budget for the project is subject to approval by the City Corporation, and the successful design team will be asked to develop a range of options for the project that would be deliverable at different budget levels.
For the purpose of the design team selection process, interested bidders are being asked to propose a number of design options that would be deliverable within a construction cost budget of £50m to £150m.
Chair of the City of London Corporation's Barbican Centre Board, Tom Sleigh, said: "Since its opening almost four decades ago, the Barbican has become a much-loved, internationally acclaimed multi-disciplinary venue for world-class arts, creative learning and community work. We have welcomed millions of visitors and thousands of artists, all of whom have come together to share extraordinary experiences in a unique environment.
"The Barbican project has been a huge success, but there have been dramatic changes in arts practice over the last forty years, as well as the way in which civic buildings cater to their visitors and make themselves sustainable for the future.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for the world's best architects and designers to bring together imaginative and ambitious teams to renew this iconic arts centre, adapting it to respond to the creative opportunities and urgent challenges of today's world and ensuring that the Barbican plays a leading role in the recovery of the City, the capital and the nation from the pandemic."
Each year, over a million people attend Barbican events performed by hundreds of artists from across the globe.
The Barbican is a key part of Culture Mile, the City of London's cultural district, stretching from Farringdon to Moorgate. Led by the City of London Corporation, with the Barbican, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London Symphony Orchestra and Museum of London, the five partners are together creating a vibrant, creative area in the north-west corner of the Square Mile.
Interested teams should submit an initial selection questionnaire by 21 October 2021. Collaborative bids from design consortiums, particularly those that include emerging practices and widen representation within the project team, are actively encouraged. In addition, previous experience sections of the selection criteria are open to bidders who can demonstrate transferable skills that show their ability to meet the requirements of the brief.

FC Cincinnati hopes to show resolve in Big Apple
By Jeff Wallner
Though coming off a 3-0 loss to Columbus Crew SC, FC Cincinnati is not out of the playoff picture with a chance to improve at New York City FC on Saturday.
FC Cincinnati has recorded five clean sheets through 10 matches this season. That in and of itself is an odd statistic, especially for a team that conceded an MLS-record 75 goals last season. But it gets stranger.
While FCC has managed to prevent a single goal in half their matches, it still owns an MLS-worst minus-9 goal differential. Despite being a touch or two away from turning three scoreless draws into wins this season, FCC also has shown a tendency to turn 1-0 deficits into 3-0 or 4-0 losses.
"When we get one goal, everything comes apart," said FCC midfielder Haris Medunjanin via videoconference call on Thursday. "You need to show you can come back. In MLS, you always have that chance to come back. The mentality needs to be that we can beat any team if we are 100% focused."
Case in point: Saturday at Mapfre Stadium in Columbus, where after playing 50 minutes of competitive football against the rival Crew, FCC lost its defensive shape after Pedro Santos broke a scoreless tie in the 52nd minute, and new father Gyasi Zardes then finished them off for a 3-0 defeat.
"When you concede a goal, you should have good organization," Medunjanin said. "You cannot be flying out. That happened against Columbus. We gave up a goal and everybody was deciding for themselves 'I'm going to go now.' There was no connection between the strikers to midfielders, midfielders to defense. You can't play open like that against Columbus, they're going to punish you."
On coach Jaap Stam's laundry list of items to fix, near the top is this team's toughness and the resolve to stay in matches after conceding even a single goal and give themselves the chance to come back.
It's partly due to a lack of confidence and cohesiveness. You also could attribute some of this to the fact that FCC hasn't exactly been treated kindly by the schedule makers. MLS commissioner Don Garber warned there would be schedule imbalances in order to limit travel due to COVID-19 restrictions, and FCC drew the short straw, being barely 100 miles from Columbus and arguably the best club in the league.
FCC must travel to face New York City FC on Saturday at Red Bull Arena — not exactly a pleasure trip either. The remaining 12 matches in the next phase should be released any day, and FCC hopes things will ease up a bit. Until then, the second-year expansion club will have to take its lumps with a revamped roster and new coach.
"The thing we all need to realize is that sometimes you play against really good sides and they will outplay you at times," Stam said via videoconference call on Thursday. "We created opportunities to score goals. If we did that, it's an entirely different situation."
Of course, one way to flip the script would be for FCC to score first. But heading into the match on Saturday, FCC hasn't found the net for 484 regular-season minutes, dating back to July 22 in Orlando. They've been close. Jurgen Locadia continues to make himself available in the box, but the timing and communication in the final third is very much a work in progress for this team.
"In the beginning of the game, we need to find our strikers," said Medunjanin. "Give them confidence. Not one ball in 15 or 20 minutes. We know Jurgen is a very good player. We need to find him. If you don't get the ball, you disappear in the game. We play long ball, which is not our game, we don't have players for that. We need to do short passes, coming from the sides."
FCC has been on the front foot in several matches, falling inches short in some cases of scoring the opening goal. But at this point, a 1-0 loss would be a sign that progress has been made. Until FCC stops losing by three and four goals, the perception that they are not ready to consistently be competitive in this league will persist.
"The team has been working very hard to play well, to get the clean sheet," Stam said. "We could have scored and we could have won. We need to show more in the decisive moments to get three points instead of one or nothing."
With 12 matches remaining – although not officially announced yet – FCC has plenty of runway to play itself into a playoff position, especially with an expanded field of 10 clubs. By all accounts, training has been intense and productive.
Beginning on Saturday night in the Big Apple, FCC is looking to show tangible progress against a quality opponent.
"I need to see that we believe in each other," Medunjanin said. "Running into the box. Seeing that we trust the other players to make a play for you. We need to talk. That's the most important thing in football. To coach each other, that you are free, that you can turn, that you can attack. Right now, everything is in motion."

It's a satisfying feeling to chop and stack your own firewood, but that feeling becomes even better when you receive your hydro bill and see that it's lower than usual because you're heating your home with wood. Whether you favor chopping your own trees or buying rough-cut firewood from places like Precision Tree Care & Landscape Corp and splitting it into manageable chunks, it's important to always take the proper safety precautions while you're working. Splitting wood isn't to be taken lightly--you're dealing with a sharp ax, heavy splitting wedges, a sledgehammer and hefty pieces of wood that can harm you. With the right approach, however, you'll get through the job safely and enjoy sitting in front of a roaring fire once weather turns cold.
It's important to assemble the right safety gear before you begin the job. Although it's easy to get preoccupied with the sharpness of your ax and the weight of your sledgehammer, don't overlook the gear that keeps you free from injury. Steel-toed boots or shoes are an absolute must--it's too easy to inadvertently hit your toe with the ax or sledge. Many people wear athletic shin guards to add further protection; if you don't have access to these devices, always wear heavy denim or canvas pants. Leather gloves protect your hands from splinters and blisters, while safety goggles block airborne wood shards.
When you stand a log on its end to prepare it for splitting, never place it directly on the ground. Doing so not only can cause back pain because of your bent-forward posture, but also requires you to carry the ax's trajectory lower, which can cause you to become off-balanced and hit yourself. Always place the log on an elevated support; typically, a thick, sturdy log is ideal as a support base because it's robust enough to handle the pressure of each blow. Your lower-body stance should be comfortable with your feet positioned at least shoulder-width apart and you should be square to the log. This stance means that if you miss the log, which can happen when you're tired, your ax will pass safely between your legs, rather than into your shin.
Splitting firewood might seem like a macho activity to demonstrate to your children or simply a way to get your children outside and involved in a yard chore, but it's best for them to keep their distance. Wood chunks and even sparks, if there's a hidden nail buried inside a log, can travel several feet and cause injury. You should always split wood in a dedicated part of your yard well away from obstacles that could interfere with your swing path and cause you to swing the ax or sledgehammer in an uncontrolled manner.

Q: Can I develop a PDO extension with c++? Can I write a PDO extension with c++ instead of c?(Windows10, PHP7.2)
This is the contents(according to official docs) that a pdo ext should cover:
config.m4                  # unix build script
  config.w32                 # win32 build script

  SKEL_stmt.c                # contains the implementation of the PDO statement interface
  tests/

Can I just rename the pdo_SKEL.c to pdo_SKEL.cpp, and also change the c file name to cpp in config.w32.
I tried with some simple code and function, it works.
But every time when i want to register the ext to the pdo,
the compilation would not pass.

The Kinetic F3 is an advanced multi with 3d flexmotion to give the perfect angle for any exercise.
The Kinetic F3 is a stylish home gym from Kettler with advanced features that will deliver a professional workout every time. It has extra height between the seat and the lat pulldown bar so that different size users can achieve a full stretch. The bench press arms are height adjustable, as is the seat. The two bars at the side, which Kettler call 3D Flexmotion, can be positioned at various angles, allowing for numerous workouts to be performed including pec flys, seated row, abdominal crunch and many more cable exercises. When using the 3D Flexmotion cables, each cable produces half the weight of the weight selected. On most gyms leg curl/extension can be compromised by the size of the user and the fixed position of the padded rollers but on the Kettler Kinetic F3 this problem has been address by including adjustments to all leg roller positions.

Q: How to resolve this? I've the following problem to model and program it:

*

*suppose that we have a central server that provides 3 different services($S_1,S_2,S_3$), there are $N$ machines connected to this server: each machine sends requests to the server at different rates (suppose that the arrival rate for each service is a Poisson);

*suppose that for each machine, the request rate for $S_1$ is: $\lambda_1$;  the request rate for $S_2$ is: $\lambda_2$;   the request rate for $S_3$ is: $\lambda_3$.

my question is: how is the global arrival request rate for this server calculated? is it equal to $(\lambda_1+\lambda_2+\lambda_3)/3$ ????
Thanks for all responses.

A: Are the three servers independent? If they are, then the total arrival rate is $\lambda_1+\lambda_2+\lambda_3$ if I recall my queuing theory correctly. If the arrival rates are not independent, then I am not sure...


What Do You Want Your Students To Be Doing 20 Years From Now?
Literacy beyond reading, writing, and basic mathematics requires the acquisition of knowledge and skills that support lifelong learning, problem solving, decision making, and mentoring.
What does it mean to be literate? Different disciplines appear to require their own definition of literacy. Scientific literacy, mathematical literacy, computer literacy, cultural literacy, and music literacy are just a few of its many forms. Literacy certainly varies from one discipline to another, or does it?
Is literacy an understanding of skills and knowledge required to function in the adult world?
Long ago, young children played beside their parents. They watched adults tending crops, making arrows, governing the community, or completing other tasks. Through play and daily observations, children learned about adult roles. Adults who learned to fill these roles were probably considered literate in their societies. The roles they had to fill were those of lifelong learners, productive workers, active citizens, and able mentors, parents, and role models for the next generation.
Today, children amass large quantities of isolated skills and knowledge with the hope they will be able apply these when they become adults. They learn to a large extent in the absence of viewing adults participating in more than one or two roles.
Are today's children any more literate and prepared to face the challenges of adult roles than the children of the past? Do we equip the children of today with the skills and knowledge to be literate citizens of the 21st century?
Over the course of more than thirty years, I have asked a wide variety of educators in the United States this question: What do you want the students you are teaching today to be doing 20 years from now? As I reviewed the answers, I began to see a pattern. The roles educators envision for their students are similar to those of the past; that is, lifelong learners, productive workers, active citizens, and able mentors.
People who fill these roles need the basic skills of reading, writing, mathematics, understanding scientific proof, and working with people. In addition, they must know how to learn, solve problems, make informed decisions, and support the learning of others. Appendix A includes a summary of adult roles, and the products adults produce.
What types of products do adults produce?
The products adults can produce seem endless. However, the products can be loosely grouped by adult roles.
Products requiring explanations might take the form of a multimedia presentation, a poster, a song, a newspaper, a physical or mathematical model, an advertisement, or any of the hundreds of ways people explain who, what, when, why, and how to others. The products may include speaking a different language, or diaries or photo journals of places visited. Products of scientifically conducted tests of hypotheses or claims of truth typically include reports or demonstrations of the tests. The products of reflection are series of steps students have used in order to learn. Reflections on how one learns allow improvement and modification of the steps to learn new and ever more complex information.
Products of effective workers are solutions to problems. These might be mathematical solutions, scale models or drawings of solutions, and process solutions. The problems may be solved by individuals or more likely, by interactions with others. No matter how students arrive at solutions, they should provide accurate factual information as proof of the efficacy of the solution. As with all reflective products, students must identify the steps they use to solve problems. Personal reflections allow students to internalize the steps they use to solve problems and to improve their skills, as they are challenged by new problems.
Products of decision-making are decisions with supporting facts and logical reasoning. Active community citizens and productive workers produce logical informed decisions. The decision-making products might be a debate, a letter to the editor, a position paper, a multimedia presentation, or an informed vote. Like problem-solving products, decision-making products should be supported by factual information acquired by scientific testing, researching primary source documents, and reviewing the positions of others. Reflections on the steps used to make decisions are the most important products for internalizing decision-making processes.
The person affected in some way by the mentor/parent becomes the product. That person comes away with knowledge, skills, and attitudes supplied by the mentor. Students and adults, who teach others, take leadership roles, and share in responsibilities for completing tasks are mentors. The people they influence are the product of this mentorship. Reflections on the steps involving mentoring, like all reflective products, are important for the continuing development of the mentor.
How much class time should be spent producing products?
The time spent in class producing these products should vary with the sophistication of the students. Novice students should be able to produce a complete product within one class period or even less. If an activity extends over long periods of time, the novice fails to internalize the steps they use to complete a particular type of task. As students become more proficient they should be able to produce products over longer time frames, with some of the more proficient students working for a year or more on a particular product.
How does high-stakes testing affect an educator's choice of activities?
An educator must find activities or projects that are linked to the knowledge-based standards, as well as skill-based standards. A teacher ignoring this vital link may produce highly motivated students, with a great depth of knowledge in an area that is not tested. A teacher focusing entirely on test preparation activities may produce students who pass the test, but carry nothing with them for the future. See Appendix B for a method of reviewing classroom emphasis by product.
Literacy beyond reading, writing, and basic mathematics requires the acquisition of knowledge and skills that support lifelong learning, problem solving, decision making, and mentoring. While teachers are compelled to teach the wide variety of knowledge and skills required by state standards, they cannot forget that their students will need to function in the adult world. Classroom activities matching state standards must reflect the major roles of adults, which are, the roles of lifelong learners, productive workers, active citizens and able mentors. The skills required to fill adult roles create the type of literacy that prepares students for the adult world.
What are literate people? What do literate people do? What products do literate people produce?


RMA administrator Brandon Willis and Sen. Pat Roberts talk of the importance of public/private partnership within crop insurance.
The current crop insurance system, which depends on cooperation and coordination between private-sector insurers and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is working well and serves as an example of how effective such partnerships can be. That was the message Brandon Willis, administrator of the USDA's Risk Management Agency (RMA), delivered Monday at the crop insurance industry's annual meeting.
Willis pointed to the partnership's track record for eliminating waste, fraud and abuse as proof of its success.
Occurrences of improper indemnity payments to farmers, which can result from data entry and reporting mistakes, fell to 2.2% in 2015, Willis told the group. That's compared to a 5.5% improper payment average for other USDA programs in 2014 and a 4% average for programs across all government agencies.
He added that USDA and private insurers will continue to identify and address the causes of errors and constantly make improvements to the system.
In addition to efficient and accurate program management, Willis said the partnership excelled in implementing a complicated farm bill in 2014. In particular, he noted how hard work by both the public and private sectors made it possible to expand coverage options to beginning farmers and ranchers, organic production and specialty crops.
This expanded coverage has helped crop insurance find new supporters, Willis noted, which will be essential to defending farm policy in the future.
Also at the meeting, Sen. Pat Roberts (R., Kan.), chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, pledged to "preserve, protect and defend" this public/private partnership against the challenges ahead. Roberts praised the ability of the industry to work together to stave off cuts to crop insurance that were included in last year's budget deal, noting that agriculture can be a powerful force when it is united.
He also warned that more teamwork will be needed in the days ahead as critics continue to attack this important risk management tool. Additionally, Roberts encouraged crop insurers to double their outreach and education efforts, stating that not all lawmakers in Washington, D.C., understand farm policy.

WATCH: The USGA official who made the Dustin Johnson decision explains himself
George Mackenzie
What an absolute crock of shit from the one of golf's governing bodies. Along with The Royal and Ancient, the USGA are tasked with interpreting the rules of golf – a job they cocked up with extraordinary ineptitude on Sunday.
Dustin's behaviour was as honest as a major Sunday is long and we should all appreciate his decision to immediately retreat from the putt. What followed was utterly disgraceful. DJ spent the remainder of his round in the dark as he waited for the USGA to make a decision on whether his ball had moved on "address".
Dustin and USGA after the round pic.twitter.com/U6GB2FvWs0
— #GCW (@gcw) June 19, 2016
The USGA confused every sports fan whilst a group of officious jobsworths pondered over a ridiculous decision. Many professional golfers posted their disgust on Twitter and it was clear to me that there's an entrenched dissatisfaction with the USGA amongst the professional fraternity. It was as if this incident was the manifestation of successive failings from the USGA and boy did the players let them know about it.
The final decision to enforce the one shot penalty capped off an embarrassing day for the USGA. If you have the attention span and want to learn why DJ incurred the penalty see below.
From Rule 18-2/0.5, titled "Weight of Evidence Standard for Determining Whether Player Caused His Ball To Move."
"If the weight of the evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the player caused the ball to move, even though that conclusion is not free from doubt, the player incurs a one-stroke penalty under Rule 18-2 and the ball must be replaced. Otherwise, the player incurs no penalty and the ball is played as it lies unless some other rule applies (e.g. Re 18-1)."
The USGA relied on this example to make their final decision:
"A player's ball lies on a flat portion of the putting green on a day with light winds. The player addresses the ball and the ball immediately moves. Under these circumstances, it is more likely than not that the act of addressing the ball caused the ball to move."
Whatever happens. He'll be OK. pic.twitter.com/gaJSMeUo6p
If there's one thing watching American sport has taught me it's that you all demand complete transparency with rulings. You want to know why a decision has been made and you insist on a justified response from a sport's judiciary. This is a great thing because it insists on a situation where people are held to account. Luckily Dustin took everything in his stride and continued his imperious round. As Shane Lowry fell away DJ kept getting better and better, his final shot into the 18th green was the culmination of a beautiful round of golf that he was forced to play.
Who do you think deserves Player of the Week from the US Open? It doesn't have to be the winner. Out of the athletes listed below, who do you think stood out from the rest because of an insane shot, huge putt or their overall style as they played the tournament? Cast your vote.

Calgary working to make city more bike-friendly, councillor says
By Mary GetanehStarMetro Calgary
Tues., July 24, 2018timer2 min. read
CALGARY—A city councillor believes Calgary could be doing more to improve its bike infrastructure.
"We have historically underfunded our active modes — so pedestrian and cycling infrastructure," said Councillor Evan Woolley on Tuesday. "But in the last four or five years, we have made significant investments."
In the past five years, the city has gone from having zero cycle tracks to a network that spanned eight kilometres to now boasting 880 kilometres of bike pathways, said Woolley.
"As a part of our budget in November, there will be money associated that will go to upgrading existing infrastructure as well as adding new infrastructure," said Woolley.
Woolley said the city is working toward making Calgary a more bike-friendly place, and part of that includes a bike-share program — which council unanimously approved Monday night.
Agustin Louro, president of Bike Calgary — a bike advocacy group — said bringing in a bike-share program means the city needs to improve the existing infrastructure.
"With those programs, we'll see a lot of people use (bikes) who don't necessarily bike a lot, so they may be more nervous and less comfortable biking around on the streets," said Louro.
"So we really need to build our infrastructure for all ages and abilities — young and old, experienced and novice — for everybody to be able to use it."
Brett Bergie, an active cyclist in Calgary, said there are problems with the existing bike infrastructure in the city.
"You see that with the green flexi posts being knocked over, sometimes blocking the part of the (cycle) track a bit, which is a problem," said Bergie.
A big concern for Bergie is 8th Ave. S.W. — especially in the winter.
"There's several blocks there where the cycle track is actually sloped. It's also very cracked and kind of buckled," said Bergie. "It's not a pleasant surface to ride on."
Bergie said construction in the downtown area also makes it difficult, and sometimes dangerous, for cyclists.
For Louro, he struggles a lot with finding a place to park his bike.
"What will become really noticeable with the bike-share is the city needs to step up its investment on bike racks," said Louro. "I think already ... in a lot of places, they're undersupplied."
Woolley said that is an issue the city has taken note of and is working to fix.
He said the city invested $10,000 this year in creating new bike racks because of the high demand.
"We had a backlog of 550 requests and we applied $10,000 to that backlog, which, I believe, was to catch us up to that backlog and build new ones," said Woolley.
Woolley said there is a lot of work to do, but he's hopeful the new budget will improve the city's bike infrastructure.

Comparing a trade show exhibit rental versus a convention booth purchase can be a big project. Each of these methods will have some advantages but they can also include some drawbacks. The right choice could help you save money while increasing visitors to your display. You will need to look at the pros and cons of each method and then decide which one works best with your individual needs and your specific budget.
A trade show exhibit rental can be extremely cost effective.
A trade show exhibit rental can be extremely cost effective, especially when the company has a smaller budget to work with in the beginning. The individual circumstances are also relevant and the expected frequency of the shows and conventions attended should be considered as well. If you will be attending several shows a month then rental fees could become less cost effective than simply purchasing the displays outright.
When you are evaluating a trade show exhibit rental and comparing this with buying the booth instead you should look at your specific needs and unique budget. Both of these are important. If you have a display that is affordable but that does not draw in the crowds then you will still waste financial resources. If the perfect booth is beyond your budget then it is not an option regardless of how perfect it may be.
Which Method is more Cost Effective in your Case?
Only you can determine whether a trade show exhibit rental or convention booth purchase is the most cost effective choice in your individual situation. Consider how many times you will use the display each year and then compare this with the yearly cost of each method. Often renting can be a very affordable alternative but this is not always true.
Did you choose a trade show exhibit rental for your last show or do you own your displays?
I have just started a company of my own selling camping equipment. There are several exhibitions around the country that would certainly be worth while having a stand at. I have been toying with the idea of buying my own booth but I am not sure it is worth it yet. My company is new and we are trying to keep our expenses to a minimum. Reading some of the points you made about renting makes me think that this would probably be the best way to go.
Matthew, trade show exhibit rental sounds like it would be a perfect fit for your start-up company. You can experiment a little to see what works best for you. Not having to worry about storing your exhibit will be taking another expense off your plate too. Good luck with your new company!

Florida's teachers and health experts agree: Trump's push to reopen schools amid current COVID-19 surge is reckless
With no comprehensive school reopening plan, Secretary DeVos can't promise that schools will be safe when they reopen, and yet the Trump administration is proceeding anyway, claiming that "the science should not stand in the way," and even threatening to withhold federal education funding to public schools that don't fully reopen. This news comes as one-third of children in Florida tested for COVID-19 yielded positive results, according to the Sun Sentinel.
"Trump's push to reopen schools with a one size fits all approach is proof that he has a complete lack of understanding of the dire situation here in Florida, and a lack of empathy for the teachers and families who will bear the brunt of his reckless decisions," said Florida Democratic Party Spokesperson Frances Swanson. "Floridians deserve a president who will put public health and safety over politics. Floridians deserve Joe Biden."
Across the state, Florida's teachers and health experts oppose Trump and DeSantis' rush to reopen schools amid the current surge in coronavirus cases, and they are speaking out. More below:
LEON COUNTY:
"This is no secret. When I signed up to be an educator 17 years ago, I never thought I'd be expected to sacrifice my health and safety and my family's health and safety," Hilary Parsons wrote to the School Board. "Yet, it seems that this country is in the middle of a war: science versus politics. As a result, numerous people every day are dying." [Tallahassee Democrat, 7/16/20]
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY:
The CEO of Jackson Health said on Morning Joe that the current positive COVID-19 test rates in Miami-Dade are "not indicative of us being able to open schools here in Miami." [MSNBC, 7/14/20]
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY:
"Back in March we were way down (in COVID cases) and we closed schools. Now we're all the way up here (in COVID cases) and they're telling us to go back. It just doesn't make sense," said Dr. Christy Foust, a Florida teacher. […] "Please do the right thing, give us a virtual start and give COVID a chance to settle down before we go back," said Foust. [WFTS-Tampa Bay, 7/15/20]
"I'm here because I just feel like it's absolutely ridiculous to be considering putting our children in this unsafe environment," said Vanessa Walters, a Folsom Elementary special education teacher, who plans to keep her own 10-year-old daughter in online schooling. "It has to be safe. We don't have the measures in place." [Tampa Bay Times, July 15, 2020]
PALM BEACH COUNTY:
Dr. Sanborn, who is himself a parent, said while he agrees children need to be in school, it's difficult to do with the current surge of coronavirus cases in South Florida. "Even though most children do not get sick, you have all children potentially getting exposed to the virus, and getting the virus, you will quickly fill up some of the children's hospitals," said Sanborn, referring to kids who could contract a rare complicated case. He said he's seen some kids get very sick with respiratory illness from COVID-19. [CBS12, 7/12/20]
In Florida's Palm Beach County, where the school district is looking at its options for when school resumes, the county's health director, Dr. Alina Alonso, had a warning. "While many of these especially younger people are asymptomatic, when you take X-rays of their lungs … they are seeing there is damage to the lungs," she said. "We don't know how that is going to manifest a year from now or two years from now. Is that child going to have chronic pulmonary problems?" [NPR, 7/15/20]
BROWARD COUNTY:
"I was actually crying about it this morning," Argent said. "How are these little guys going to wear their masks? I can't make them wear all their shoes all day. How will I be safe?" [Sun Sentinel, 7/11/20]
"All of our teachers would love to be able to go back on campus and teach our students the way we always have if COVID wasn't happening," Broward Teachers Union president Anna Fusco said. "[But] I think every day that it shows COVID is increasing in its numbers and it's got everybody concerned." [Sun Sentinel, 7/11/20]
ST. JOHNS COUNTY:
"I would like to see a delayed start," she [SJEA President Michelle] said, adding that it would give the district more time to get PPE supplies and distance learning plans in place. "I truly believe all teachers, principals and support staff want to be face to face. But right now, as president of our union, I do not believe it's safe to go back." [Florida Times-Union, 7/12/20]

An opportunity to innovate
After conducting research at Scotland's Roslin Institute (birthplace of Dolly the cloned sheep) and creating in-vitro models of obesity and Parkinson's Disease for the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, Gabriela Cezar has returned to UW-Madison.
Not just any university could lure such a talented researcher away from the private biotech industry. But Wisconsin is not just any university – not when it comes to stem-cell research – Cezar points out.
"I left Pfizer because it was Wisconsin. Had it been another institution that doesn't have the leadership and the other capabilities that we do here, I wouldn't have done it."
The opportunity to use human embryonic stem cells in her research made UW-Madison an easy choice for Cezar, who had been working with mouse cells at Pfizer. Since coming to Madison last August, Cezar has run the Stem Cell Safety Lab in the animal sciences department in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences.
Her lab focuses on two areas of research: birth defects and cancer.
By using human embryonic stem cells as a way of understanding non-genetic birth defects, Cezar and her team of researchers hope to learn how these defects arise and what biological pathways are involved during their development.
"We expect to generate a panel of molecular markers coming from embryonic stem cells that could be used in diagnosis and in the management of these preventable diseases," she says.
Jessica Quam, a graduate student in endocrinology and reproductive physiology, has been working as a research assistant in Cezar"s lab since last August.
"The work we"re doing could help effectively predict what"s going to happen with new drugs and chemicals in the environment," Quam says. Lab results are correlating with in vivo observation of birth defects, she adds. "We"re starting to make a lot of progress."
Cancer research in Cezar"s lab focuses on isolating and characterizing cancer cells in order to explore treatment alternatives. By comparing parental and tumor cell lines, Cezar"s team hopes to learn why some cancer cells become resistant to chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
"The cancer cell, in a way, is an adult cell that starts behaving like an embryonic cell," Cezar says. She says that it"s no coincidence that some of the best cancer drugs are severe teratogens – agents that interrupt normal development, causing birth defects.
Although she often travels far off campus for speaking engagements or collaborations with scientists, Cezar keeps her finger on the pulse of the lab, says lab manager Alice Wentworth. When she"s globetrotting, Cezar is eager to hear of results from her lab projects.
"She also has a whole lot of empathy for her students," says Wentworth. "She cares about each and every one of them very much." This level of interaction, coupled with her contagious enthusiasm, fosters both independent thinking and excellent teamwork.
"It"s always a we thing," Wentworth says. "She"s developed a team, and in a lab that"s incredibly important."
Cezar says that one of the most exciting things about moving to academia and the UW-Madison was the opportunity for innovation. "You really have more freedom to create, to discover, and to test these ideas," she says.
While many private and academic research labs focus on a smaller area, Wisconsin"s stem cell research runs the gamut, she points out.
"Our stem cell research is as diverse as the biomedical need," Cezar says. "We cover a vast array of diseases. But not only that- we have engineers and bioethicists. We have everyone working together, and that is one of our greatest strengths."
"The other thing I really like about academia is the freedom to communicate," she says. Cezar is using this freedom to nurture collaborations across the country and across the globe, from California to Italy to New Zealand.
Animal sciences department chairman Dan Schaefer says that Cezar has brought the department"s name and work into new circles. "Gabby has given the department a very visible presence in the biotechnology and bio-business networks," Schaefer says. The department has had such visibility in the past, he notes – through the efforts of reproductive physiologist Neal First, a pioneer in cloning research, and others.
"Gabby is carrying our name back into these circles with a very modern, high-impact research topic," Schaefer says.
Cezar also cites the talent pool as one more factor that sets the university apart from other research institutions. "I"m coming back and working with some of the professors that were on my thesis committee," including UW"s own stem cell pioneer Jaime Thomson. "We generate professionals in every area of the life sciences that are second to none. It"s extraordinary."
Another reason that top-notch researchers want to come to Madison, says Cezar, is the ability to transfer technological innovation to the marketplace via the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation.
"WARF works with us to protect intellectual property that is generated on this campus, and when they do commercialize this, that investment comes right back here to foster more innovation and more discovery," Cezar says. "It"s a really exciting era on campus."

Che Guevara: 'the most complete human being of our time'
Syed Badrul Ahsan | Monday, 11 October 2021
Fifty four years ago, on 9 October 1967, Ernesto Che Guevara was murdered in the Bolivian village of La Higuera. Trapped a day earlier by Bolivian soldiers in the jungles near the village, thirteen days into the siege he and his fellow guerrillas had been surrounded in, Che was bound hand and foot and made to lie down on the floor of a classroom in a school. Near him lay the bodies of two of his murdered comrades. Tired and worn out and obviously in a state of humiliation, Che was subjected to systematic questioning by Bolivian officers as well as Felix Rodriguez, an agent of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). His self-esteem intact, the man who had with Fidel Castro caused the revolution in Cuba on New Year's Day in 1959 would not give anything away, save only to murmur, sadly, that he had failed.
The CIA agent Rodriguez, for all his antipathy to Che, seemed to empathise with him in his moment of defeat. At one point, he took Che outside and put his arms around the bedraggled guerrilla as a photographer recorded the scene on his camera. It was to be the last image of Che Guevara alive. Soon afterward, a ruffian named Teran, instructed to shoot Che below the face, fired at his leg. Che bit his wrist in order not to scream out in pain. Teran fired again and again. The last bullet, the ninth, hit Che in the throat. The blood filled his lungs. He was dead.
The moments after Che was killed remains a story that was to turn into a modern legend, almost of an epic sort. His body, with its eyes open (giving onlookers the eerie feeling that he was alive) was placed on display for the public. Once the display was done, it was washed by a nurse who would later tell people she felt she was giving Jesus Christ his last rites. There were reports that some of those present at that final ritual of a bath surreptitiously clipped off bits of Che's hair to keep them as mementoes.
The Bolivian government of then military ruler Rene Barrientos wished to decapitate the dead Che and keep the head as a sign of its triumph in tracking down the 'most dangerous' individual in the world. The thought was, however, quickly abandoned. What followed was something simpler, though no less revolting. Che's hands were sawn off and later sent to Havana, to convince the Cuban authorities that their hero had indeed died in the jungles of Bolivia. It was a somber Castro who informed his people of the tragic end of the man who, having left his native Argentina, had identified with the Cuban revolution and then set out to revolutionise the world.
The murder of Che Guevara was in several ways the end of idealism for people across vast tracts of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Che believed, and millions believed with him, that socialism offered a way out of the woods for the world's underprivileged and disenfranchised. Cuba, Che had convinced himself, could be a powerful symbol of revolution, of the socialism that could act as a catalyst for change. In his final moments, when a Bolivian army officer asked him why he had come to Bolivia with his revolution, Che answered, "I am a Cuban, an Argentine, a Peruvian, a Bolivian, a Chilean, an Ecuadorian."
Those final words defined him. In a career that would not rest on laurels, Che would reach out to every segment of society that suffered at the hands of exploitative forces. He was in the Congo when he thought men like Laurent Kabila needed to offer a clear vision about emancipation to a nation wracked by conflict since the murder of the patriot Patrice Lumumba in 1961. It was Che's belief, like that of any other Marxist, that revolution was not to be confined to geography but move beyond and across frontiers if it was to be purposeful. Revolution is an inclusive affair. Socialism is always about internationalism and because it is, Che believed that he could play a leading role in disseminating the socialistic message across the globe.
Che served as a minister in Castro's government and in that capacity he went out into the wider world informing global leaders of what it meant to be a Cuban revolutionary and what it would mean once the Cuban revolution was replicated around the world. Che was eminently equipped to carry out this responsibility. He was, besides being a guerrilla, a doctor and an intellectual. There was no ambiguity in him about the modalities in which revolution was to come to the dirt poor homes of the world's impoverished. He exchanged ideas with Mao Zedong on the nature of revolution; he was at home with Ahmed Ben Bella in a free Algeria; and he marvelled at the way Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser went about constructing the edifice of Arab nationalism. At the United Nations in 1964, he was clear in his conviction that the world, including its capitalist zones, needed to be enlightened on the utilitarian aspects of socialism. His words were a robust defence of the beauty inherent in leftwing thinking. He minced no words in his excoriation of imperialism.
And then Ernesto Che Guevara went out into the night. Divesting himself of all the perks and perquisites of power, he went into disguise as a middle-aged western businessman before walking away into what he believed would soon become a wider, more substantive world of truly Marxist dimensions.
And then he died. He was only 39. In that brief span of a fullness of life, Che Guevara reflected on the poetry of Pablo Neruda, Federico Garcia Lorca and John Keats. In the writings of Jawaharlal Nehru and Franz Kafka and Albert Camus he sought the meaning of existence. He was, as Jean-Paul Sartre was to say of him, 'the most complete human being of our time'.
Ernesto Che Guevara's remains were discovered, along with those of his comrades, thirty years after his assassination in a secluded spot near an airstrip in Vallegrande. In a changed world, they were dispatched to Havana. On October 17, 1997, they were buried in Santa Clara with full military honours. He remains a beacon of hope for millions struggling for decent existence, for the chance to claim the good earth as their own.

Senate President Mike Miller sent a letter to Governor Larry Hogan's letter criticizing the way the state house in eliminating the Statutes of the Maryland Legislative Chamber, based on Supreme Court Roger Taney, decision.
Taney was originally from Maryland and President of the United States Supreme Court who wrote slavery confirmed the decision of 1857 Dred Scott. The crews eliminate the statue during the night.
The Commission has decided to vote by email on Wednesday. Miller, who sits on a panel with Hogan House speakers, Mike Busch Long and Charles Edson, chairman of the Committees of the Maryland Historical Trust Commission, has not voted.
"Voting on this subject by email is simply inaccurate," Miller wrote, noting that the statue was requested for a public meeting after President Bush and Governor Hogan requested removal.
Miller said the decision was implemented "not transparent". Miller also noted that in the 1990s, when the State House Trust agreed to a monument to the United States Supreme Court and Baltimore native Thurgood Marshall, made available the decision at the meeting for the public to create, and there were no lengthy discussions.
In the past, compared to Miller, the withdrawal of the statue of Taney, but said this week do not stand in the way of elimination of the statue, if you want to eliminate Governor Hogan.
The tripods are Taneyjevi with the efforts of activists linked to the Confederate statue to be removed. The Taneyja statue was one of the public exhibits in Baltimore on Wednesday four. These statues remain in the buildings of the city, while the municipal authorities decide what to do with these statues.
Communications director Gov. Larry Hogan, Doug Miller Mayer, said in an email Thursday night.
"Miller's Senate President, completely in his right to continue defending Rodger Taney, cannot agree," Mayer said.

Microbial organisms, especially yeasts, can be found at all but the driest sites in the region. Where there is sufficient water algae, cyanobacteria, mosses, lichens and also occur, along with tiny invertebrate animals such as rotifers, tardigrades and nematodes. Large 'flushes' of vegetation occur in particularly wet areas in the Taylor Valley at Canada Glacier, Miers Valley, Garwood Valley and Granite Harbour. A distinct zone of lichen growth flourishes at around 1000-2000m altitude due to moisture from the frequent cloud layer at this height. Springtails are found in coastal parts of the Area. Cryptoendolithic communities also exist – these are organisms (typically a combination of cyanobacteria and lichen) living within the pores of sandstone rock to avoid drying out. Biological research in the region has a long history, with the original specimen of the moss Didymodon gelidus collected at Granite Harbour in 1902.

July 5th, 2017 | Categories: Design News. Tags: Design Conferences, design trends, Dwell on Design, Los Angeles, modern design, and professional home staging.
Dwell on Design was an absolute delight this year. The design mega-conference provided guests with an exciting and clear presentation of this year's most popular modern home staging and design trends. Hosted in the Los Angeles Convention Center June 23rd–26th this exhibition featured over 2,000 modern furnishings and products, and over 30 different onstage presentations. What were the Dwell on Design trends we loved most this year?
First, one of the most abundant trends we saw at Dwell on Design was the rustic woods trend. Turning away from the ubiquitous mid-century modern style that we've been seeing for years, this look is taking us all back to our days of summer camp. You'll see a lot of distressed wood tables, flooring, and outdoorsy accents. One particular stand-out design is the mixing of different types of woods and stains. Whether this trend is due to the #liveauthentic craze or the explosive popularity of the TV show "Fixer-Upper" and its hosts' farmhouse chic aesthetic, rustic is definitely in. No doubt this is a trend also particularly well suited for the Denver real estate market. Bring this trend into your home staging project for a style that will transcend seasons and be in style all year round.
We've seen a deviation from clean and crisp furniture to a look for seating and couches that is worn and torn. This distressed trend is in line with authentic vibes of the rustic woods we mentioned above. In this design trend, leather is worn in and slightly faded, cushions are distressed, and wood is raw and un-sanded. A few colors to look for in your next home staging design are those in the burnt orange/ copper/ tan family. These are the shades of leather that are really popping right now.
Especially relevant is the tile inspiration seen at this year's show. This year that design inspiration comes from Morocco and the Middle-East. We're seeing ogee and arabesque shaped tiles in bright colors as well as more subdued or single toned tiles. Incorporate these tile trend or patterns into a brilliant bathroom floor or hunt down some small tiles for a trendy and up-to-date moroccan-inspired kitchen backsplash.
Additionally, we've seen a lot of Mexican influence as well. Seems like an escape to Tulum, Mexico is on everyone's lips these days. Not to mention the sight of serapes are virtually everywhere you turn whether at the beach or backyard barbecues. It's no wonder that Mexico's influence has extended to the interior design world. Most prominently we see this influence in the colors and patterns of textiles. Take a look at this bedroom interior from HGTV designer Kim Lewis featured at Dwell on Design.
Overall what can you take away from this? Design and decor is drawing more from worldly influence. Also, say goodbye to sharp lines and clean color palettes and welcome in ragged edges and mixed fabrics.

Home / Travel / Destination Guides / Asia and the Pacific / Hong Kong / International Travel Luxury Mart – Report 1
By MARY GOSTELOW | December 6 2012
Cannes, France – Reported by Mary Gostelow for Elite Traveler, the private jet lifestyle magazine
How can luxury increase its value yet further? According to Forum speaker, designer and hotelier Kit Kemp, the answer is simple. Concentrate on quality and longevity rather than gimmicks and spin • There certainly is no spin at ILTM, the serious-business marketplace for the luxury travel sectors. This is the biggest ILTM Cannes yet. Here are the official figures. Hosted buyers? 1,377, including 86 Executive buyers (ten percent up on 2011): 533 of these are first-timers, in all they come from 67 countries and they are certainly working hard – their average number of pre-fixed appointments is 38. The powerful Virtuoso squad is led by the characterful Albert Herrera, who prepared for his Forum moderation by fine-dining at Le Chantécler in Nice. Now for the exhibitors. Here the tally is 1,347, again up ten percent on 2011 – they come from 85 countries. Overall, there are 51,337 pre-fixed appointments, up more than four percent on last year • Yes, the omens are good. As The Economist's man who knows, John Andrews, said at the Forum, the USA will step back from the fiscal cliff. Although Europe will be in the economic doldrums it will still, with the exception of demonstration-prone areas, entice luxury travelers. In the Middle East, Morocco, Oman and the Emirates will all divert luxury travel that could have gone to neighboring countries – and, at least until the German elections, the most important people will continue to be, in alphabetical rather than any other order, Merkel, Obama and Xi Jinping.
Luxury for Forum speaker Vikram Oberoi, only son of legendary "Biki" Oberoi, is family, or exploring the Iberian Peninsula on his beloved Ducati (his father, by the way, tells me he hopes to have more luxury "vilas," and, with Dubai opening, he wants center-city in London, New York and Paris) • Luxury for Condé Nast's Nicholas Coleridge is time. Luxury for Kit Kemp is also time, for herself, in Barbados, Biarritz, Buenos Aires, Courchevel, New York, Puglia and anywhere in Africa, never, ever, in big-brand hotels. Although she still loves designing anew, repairing and maintenance give her most pride – epitomizing her mission to concentrate on longevity. Her own favorite Kemp-designed room is the Crosby Suite, room 2007 of the Crosby Street Hotel in New York • The Pierre's Sirio Restaurante New York is the hottest in town. Mandarin Oriental's Jan Goessing was there with its designer, Adam Tihany (and yes, Taj's Raymond Bickson told Goessing, and Georg Rafael, over dinner here at Le Rendezvous, Manhattan locals really embrace this Maccioni venture). Taj, by the way, continues to give 40 percent of company profits to charity • Gosh, expect so much news and hot gossips on ILTM stands, which now occupy three levels of the Palais de Congres. Consortia stands include Global Hotel Alliance GHA, whose Geneva-based CEO Chris Hartley says from April GHA will add 44 Amalgamated Holdings Ltd AHL hotels, bringing in Art Series Hotels, QT Hotels & Resorts and Rydges.
Istanbul's spate of luxury openings includes the 186-room Shangri-La Istanbul (GM Sinan Yilmaz), a conversion of a tobacco factory and warehouse between Dolmabahçe Palace and the Maritime Museum, will offer authentic Chinese cuisine. Designer Anouska Hempel launched a cult following when, in London, she designed first Blake's and then the Hempel. Now she is going to redo the entire interiors of Istanbul's Jumeirah-managed Pera Palace Hotel, owned by shopping magnate Cengiz Çetindoğan, whose many local stores include Harvey Nichols (the hotel's CEO is his daughter Demet Sabancı Çetindoğan, a television magnate) • Talking of design, Miguel Champalimaud benefits from the family name – his cousin is Alexandra Champalimaud, and her son Lopo is CEO of top spa-search site www.wahanda.com, chaired by Wolf Hengst. Anyway, it is Miguel who owns the two-year old The Oitavos on the Cascais coastline, 30 minutes from Lisbon, and now, I hear, he adds a stand-alone 1,200-sqauer-foot villa, The Forte, with sundeck and heated swimming pool.
And if it is tents that interest, entrepreneur Luke Bailes's latest offering is the six-tent Singita Mara River Tented Camp in the northern corner of the Serengeti (to be exact, it is in the 98,000-acre Lamai Triangle, sandwiched between the Masai Mara National Park to its north and the Mara River to the south). The entire, permanent, camp is powered entirely by solar, using photovoltaic technology. It sleeps 16 and, for families, two tents are linked by covered canvas walkway. Manager Lee Bennett, who came from Singita Grumeti, says best migration time is August to October • Virgin Limited Edition's Masai Mara-set 12-tent Mahali Mzuri (GM Tarn Breedveld) opens July 2013 (Richard Branson's Necker Island reopens its fire-razed Great House sometime summer, but until then you can stay in Necker's six Bali-style houses, his private house or on his 105-foot catamaran Necker Belle).
Dubai has to wait until November 2013 until it hears if it will host Expo2020, but meanwhile it is getting ready: Openings coming up in 2013 include the first Palazzo Versace outside Queensland • Art, culture and unique experiences are more than ever essential to luxury travel, even if from afar. The Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria, Sorrento, will, says CEO Guido Fiorentino, benefit from The Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum exhibition running at London's British Museum March 28 to September 29, 2013 – exhibition-goers should rush to Pompeii and stay at his cliff-top palace, with its lemon and olive groves among genuine Roman ruins, overlooking the Bay of Capri • Nigel Hack, of Madrid Beyond, suggests a really different bragging opportunity – go home and speak about taking part in the Castellers, human castles, of Catalunya. Anyone is welcome, he says, to form the pinya, the throng that supports the base of the human tower, though the troncs, the name given to the second level up, is for safety reasons, reserved for regulars. Hack hopes he can persuade luxury travelers from Brazil and Hong Kong to become pinya-holics • In Budapest, Four Seasons offers folk and gypsy music visits, plus studying cake culture, thermal baths or wine-tasting, and twilight "behind the Iron Curtain" tours, and anytime biking sessions • Take a rock-climbing clinic at The Boulders in Carefree AZ.
Cartagena seems to be perceived not as part of Colombia but as an exotic destination in its own right, and its popularity is being boosted by direct Jet Blue flights from New York. The gorgeous Sofitel Santa Clara has launched its Suite Botero, designed by Lina Botero, daughter of Colombia's living-legend sculptor Fernando Botero (see his easily recognizable works along Singapore's river, and in the main lobby of Four Seasons Miami) • In London, one of the hottest new suites is Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee's Cinema Suite at 51 Buckingham Gate – launched just in time for the centenary of India's movie industry in 2013. As well as a Steinway Lyngdorf cinema system, there is one Rita Hayworth bedroom, and one more Merchant Ivory bedroom, but is it really true that the suite's kitchen resembles Stepford Wives?
One hour from London, in the English countryside, Hong Kong's Chan family is converting its 400-acre Heckfield Place into a 60-room hotel with working farm (hotel GM Charles Oak came from The May Fair). As of its March 2013 opening, the 18th century house will be complemented by a new 65-seat subterranean cinema, food by Tom Parker Bowles (son of Camilla) and chef Skye Gyngell (from Petersham Nurseries) and, romping around outside, Berkshire Pigs and rare-breed Aberdeen Angus • Equestrians, and others, will flock to the 700-acre Hotel Botanique, two hours' drive north of São Paulo, financed by Body Shop co-founder Gordon Roddick, together with AOL's Steve Case and local entrepreneurs Ricardo, and fashionista Fernanda, Semler. The 16-room hotel (GM Jonathan Wise) has an all-Brazilian spa with cooking school, and a stable of Olympic-standard horses.
Chantilly's chateau and great stables, as in A View To A Kill (James Bond 1985) are complexed with the 92-room Auberge du Jeu de Paume, GM Pascall Groell – Arnaud Faye is chef of the two gourmet restaurants • Visit Chantilly, or behind-the-scenes at Opera Garnier, with Paris-based inbound agent Sabina Lakhiani of Must Vacations: She also suggests haute couture perfume workshops and private visits to Victoria Beckham's favorite bootmaker. Also in Paris, Galeries Lafayette, on rue Haussmann, celebrates a centenary – of its iconic Dome, built by Louis Majorelle. In honor, artist Yann Kersalé's bespoke Chrysalide luminous creation will decorate the store's façade, and change with the seasons. What is more, Disney, Swarovski and Louis Vuitton are doing the window displays, and over 100 luxury brands are creating new gift ideas • The Leading Hotels of the World is theming its 85th birthday, in 2013, for movies – coincidentally, the Oscars are exactly the same age. Leading's SVP Sales and Marketing Claudia Kozma Kaplan has arranged a partnership with Maria Sole Tognazzi's forthcoming film Viaggio Sola. It stars Margharita Buy as a hotel inspector, and Leading Quality Assurance LQA's CEO Trent Walsh advised on sequences that were shot in such Leading properties as the Adlon Kempinski, Berlin; Gstaad Palace; The PuLi, Shanghai (whose new GM, by the way, is Jan Tibaldi).
It is not only movies that premiere. The verb also seems to apply to spas, or at least to Spa My Blend by Clarins, which originally launched, as an all-white haven, in Royal Monceau Raffles, Paris. Now Ritz-Carlton Toronto GM Tim Terceira announces the North American premiere of this exclusive Clarins brand of personalized skincare. In Montreal, meanwhile, Ritz-Carlton celebrated its centenary this year with its relaunch, under the tender loving care of the Torriani family – the ducks and duck-house are still there, and Daniel Boulud runs the restaurant. Elsewhere in the Ritz-Carlton network, Tokyo's spa offers a four-hour holistic retreat (and the hotel's 53rd-floor Club Lounge in, offering an amazing view of Mount Fiji and the Tanzawa mountain range, is being refurbished). Lake Tahoe, a ski-in ski-out mountain retreat, has a resident marshmologist (?) who shows you how to produce perfect roasted marshmallow s'mores; at Half Moon Bay, fire butlers light your terrace fire pit while their colleagues, wearing wine butler labels, offer your choice of pour; at Dove Mountain, your kids can choose between rollaway beds or (in-room) tents. At Hotel Arts in Barcelona, meanwhile, Australian Donna Stain holds her next quarterly flower decoration class March 9, 2013.
Regent's 70-room Phuket Cape Panwa, designed by Jaya Ibrahim, opened last Saturday (GM Brice Borin) – overlook the Andaman Sea • New York's Greenwich Hotel, partly owned by Robert de Niro and his son Raphael, is about to open a 2,500-sqauer-foot Penthouse, with two bedrooms and a hot-tub rooftop garden to look over the city and the Hudson (designer is Axel Vervoordt) • At 122-room Andaz Amsterdam, an historic conversion by designer Marcel Wanders, the 1,500-square-foot Prinsengracht Suite has a 330-square-foot rooftop terrace, ideal for chilled Heineken while watching the canal below • Also coming into the Hyatt network is the conversion of Siem Reap's already-popular Hôtel de la Paix, shortly opening as the 107-room Park Hyatt Siem Reap (GM Franz Mascarenhas) – an ideal base for exploring Angkor temples, three miles away • In Malaysian Borneo, Gayana Eco Resort, with 52 over-water villas, works with 48 land-set villa sibling Bunga Raya Island, ten minutes by boat. Learn about coral husbandry, at its Marine Ecology Research Centre MERC • Far away in Peru, Ignacio Masias, son of Inkaterra's owners and himself boss of The Andean Experience Co, opens a 17-room Lima boutique, Hotel B, in February: his first hotel, the 18-room Titilaka experience lodge on Lake Titicaca, is second Peruvian Relais & Châteaux member • Tour the Galapagos on Silversea's second expedition ship, the Ecuador-based Silver Galapagos (Silver Explorer is now back in Antarctica) • Get into the US political scene when the Peter Silling-designed 49-room Capella Washington DC (GM Alex Obertop) opens in January – it formerly housed the American Trial Lawyers Association • Get into the ILTM swing at the official party, tonight at Le Martinez from 8pm (bring your ILTM badge).

Background: Biliary complications are significant source of morbidity after liver transplantation (LT). Cholangiography is the gold standard for diagnosis and specification of biliary complications.
Objectives: Detailed analyses of ultrasound (US) as a safe imaging method in this regard are still lacking. Therefore we analyzed systematically the diagnostic value of US in these patients.
Patients and Methods: Retrospectively, 128 liver graft recipients and their clinical data were analyzed. All patients had a standardized US examination. The findings of US were compared to cholangiographic results in 42 patients. Following statistical analyses were performed: descriptive statistics, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values (PPV, NPV).
Results: 42 patients had 54 different biliary complications (Anastomotic stenosis (AS) n = 33, ischemic type biliary lesions (ITBL) n = 18 and leakage n = 3). US detected n = 22/42 (52%) patients with biliary complications. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of US were: 61%, 100%, 100%, 79% (95CI, 36-86%) for ITBL and 24%, 100, 100%, 31% (95CI, 9-46 %) for AS, respectively.
Conclusions: US examination had no false positive rate. Therefore, it may be helpful as a first screening modality. But for the direct diagnosis of the biliary complication US is not sensitive enough.


Asami set attracts the attention by an interesting and flirtatious look. It includes knickers and a bra made of black, elastic material which is pleasant to the touch and at the same time it perfectly fits to the body, sensuously and provocatively highlighting the shape of breast, hips and buttocks. Asami set is an elegant, but also a predatory proposal that draws the attention both by an original design and by details in the form of decorative strips made of red net, black metal additions. The bra fantastically fits the breast highlighting its shape, additionally drawing attention by red inserts made of soft net. Knickers with low waist sweetly highlight the hips and the shape of buttocks and red inserts stylistically match to the look of the bra.

In the election of 1911, the Conservatives under Robert Borden faced off against Sir Wilfrid Laurier's Liberals. Laurier, at 69 had been Prime Minister for fifteen years. In an era of rising Imperial sentiment in English Canada, he had successfully maintained power by seeking compromise and a middle path. On its face, the election might appear to mark a sea change in Canadian politics. After all, a Liberal majority of 50 was replaced by a Conservative majority of 47. At the level of the popular vote however, the net gain by the conservatives was only 4.2%. Quebec was the Achilles heel for the Liberals. There, the shift to the Conservatives was amplified by 11.3% who deserted the Liberal cause to vote for other parties. Two major issues defined the campaign – The Navy Act of 1910 and Reciprocity with the United States.
The 1910 Naval Service Act that established the Royal Canadian Navy was but one example of Laurier's middle path. Imperialists wanted Canada to follow the example of other dominions and contribute both money and men directly to the Royal Navy. The opposition, concentrated in the Liberal stronghold of Quebec was against any Canadian contribution. The compromise was the establishment of a Canadian Navy that could play a role as part of an Imperial fleet but remained firmly under Canadian control. For Laurier, this middle path lost votes on both sides of the issue. In Quebec, he was denounced as having caved in to Imperialist interests while Imperialists accused him of abandoning the only navy truly capable of defending the Empire to appease Quebec.
The Liberals had a long history of favouring freer trade with the United States. Facing an almost certain decline in seats in Quebec and a party that was in some disarray, Laurier gambled that he could win the support of agricultural interests by seeking a free trade deal. After several rounds of negotiation, Taft and Laurier had agreed to pursue reciprocity by concurrent legislation rather than by treaty thus creating a centre piece for Laurier's bid for re-election. Free trade, he argued would be of great benefit to Canada's resource industries and agriculture in particular. There would be bigger markets for Canadian exports and cheaper tools and farm implements. Not surprisingly, the protected Canadian industrial base opposed the idea.
Despite a swift denunciation of Clark's comments by the President and a blunt rebuke from Laurier, anti-American sentiment and Imperialist ire could not be held in check. Laurier and the Liberals were portrayed as traitors ready to sell Canada to American interests and abandon the Empire.
Others have pointed to the simple calculation of net economic benefit by the electorate to show that the opposition in the cities could simply not be outweighed by agricultural support in the west and the Maritimes. Whether the deciding factor was simple political decay, economics, the naval Service Act or anti-American sentiment or some combination will likely continue to be a matter for historical debate.
Although the results of the election are well known, historians also debate the impact of the event by asking the counterfactual question – What might have happened if Laurier had been returned to power in 1911 and been Prime Minister during the war? Some have argued that with a government more sympathetic to French Canadian and Catholic sentiments the history of the conscription debate and the divisive 1917 election might have been different.
