There is a growing sense that our best days as a Test Cricket Superpower are behind us, and that England, currently is in the driver's seat to ride on this throne for the foreseeable future. A sense of anguish seems to dominate any conversation that runs around India's future in Test Cricket – the consequence of a whitewash whose coffin was nailed at The Oval.
There is, of course, some truth to this concern. Even Real Madrid's 5-0 loss to Barcelona last December wouldn't have had enough quantity of remorse to outweigh that suffered by the Indians lately. If at all anything was common, it was that both the Los Galacticos and Indians succumbed to the presence of sheer class amongst their opponents, coupled with bad errors of judgment intrinsically.
England dominated the series with the aura of a historical superpower that has never been colonized. The script of the fourth test could've well been written before the first ball was bowled at the Kia Oval, but what was heartening to see from the Indians, for a change, was resistance of some sort. Dravid's defiance had thrown seeds of hope in to the Indian dressing room, two of which managed to last through a session without having its wicket thrown away.
The media-frenzy of a Tendulkar milestone that dominated headlines preceding this series is likely to continue until it is reached
Tendulkar's near-repeat of his World Cup Semi Final innings against Pakistan, one filled with numerous chances that the opposition failed to grasp hold of, and Mishra's battling (and splendid) innings – one that had to have had the other 'batsmen' hang their heads in shame- saw India through their first session without losing a wicket. Mishra's guts, and temperament, are now widely endorsed with a large section of the Indian public willing to forgive him for lack of ideas while bowling – only to tout him to contention for the number six slot as a batsman.
That it had to end this way for the Indians was a certainty. A curious selection towards the end of the series had depicted a thought, or even a belief, that the Indians were as adept in conference rooms, where selections were made, as their players had been on the green wickets of England. Indeed, the uncontrolled fall of morale, confidence and the exposure of weaknesses and inability overshadowed all imaginable pretenses – not least helped by the fall of seven wickets for a paltry twenty odd runs to bring this series to a close.
Some of India's most exciting one-day players were victims of the English soil's greenish vengeance. Less gullible but no less feeble were the bowlers who ran out of ideas at the rate at which gas-guzzling SUVs drink fuel. Predictable responses to events of such drastic inconvenience hovered around packed calendars and lack of preparation – but lack of application, barring Rahul Dravid, stood out among the key culprits. England played brilliantly well, no doubt, but was made to look even better by the hapless Indians at various instances during this series.
England's progressive rise in performance of their players, with Swann completing the cycle with his dominant performance in the second innings of the final test, picking up six, pretty much summarizes their state of confidence. A few of the statistics from the recent past – backed by innings victories and large integers – plant a scary proposition to the rest of the world: they're right on top, and there seems to be no roads that descend anywhere near the British Isles.
It may now appear ironic that Man of the Series Stuart Broad was a doubtful starter at Lords, owing to his unimpressive form leading up to the series
Broad's consistent lengths throughout the series, ones that would have made even the best of the long-jumpers proud, and high scoring cameos with the bat earned him the Man of the Series award, one for which there existed many a contestant from the English dressing room. Dravid, from the other dressing room, was parsecs ahead of any other Indian in terms of achievements this series. That, in itself, is a reflection of how the series eventually panned out.
Most of the Indian players, subsequently, will have to bite the bullets once the post-mortem verdicts are out; not that most of these facts aren't known anyway. Some of their 'shorter-format' skill sets have probed in and out like Somalian pirates in the Gulf of Aden. Apart from the self-inflicting damage that it has caused to most of them, more than anything else, it has left a billion sullen faces staring at this plight back home.
On the contrary, the Englishmen have found themselves a bed of roses to recline on – their tale to reach the top of the rankings, followed by a whitewash of the previously reigning champions, couldn't have had a better script in the making. The quality of their quests henceforth will decide whether they build their fortresses across the globe in sand or stone. They have had a remarkable time stamping their intentions, but the real game of governing unconquered territories is about to begin this winter.
Srikaanth says:
What was funny about this tour was the fact that…there was a not a single plus…for me Dravid scoring in tough conditions is not unexpected.All said and done..4-0 ..wow..who would have guessed..?
Like some famous cricketer once said.." This game has a funny habit of biting your AR*E " . Having been bitten badly , for me the most interesting aspect going forward would be the reaction of BCCI and what kind of a VISION they are going to display.
I am an eternal optimist..still wiling to disbelieve that the Indian team has gone back to its days of being pathetic travelers. Interesting and testing times ahead..
thecognitivenomad says:
Yeah, it is going to take a marathon effort to ensure that the next gen players approach Test Cricket with the right attitude, mindset and technique. We may taste an odd win here and there, since quite a few teams are going through such a transition.
Day 4, The Oval: Thank goodness for Rahul Dravid!

What the Sea Reaps, We Must Provide
by Eleanor R. Wood
The ball bounces off the tide-packed sand and Bailey leaps to catch it with lithe grace and accuracy. He returns to deposit it at my feet for another go. It's nearly dusk; the beach is ours on this January evening. It stretches ahead, the rising tide low enough to give us ample time to reach the sea wall.
Bailey's devotion to his ball is second only to his pack. He is never careless with it, relinquishing it only at my command or to give Bernie the occasional chase. Bernie brings up the rear, my shaggy bear, staying close but lacking Bailey's fierce duty to his ball.

National Geographic on Assignment: The Unicorn Enclosure
by Sarah Monette
In the unicorn enclosure, all five unicorns are clustered along the fence, batting their long eyelashes beguilingly at a troop of girl scouts. The girls ooh and aah and argue about which one is prettiest, and the unicorns trail them patiently down the perimeter line.
These unicorns are captive-born (two from San Diego, one from Brookyn, one from Mexico City, and the stud all the way from Manchester in an attempt to maintain genetic diversity in North America's captive breeding program); they've never hunted anything but sides of beef. But they're too smart not to recognize their natural prey, even through plexiglas. The zoologists call the behavior I'm witnessing "playing," in the same way a domestic cat "plays" with a mouse. Seen from the mouse's standpoint, it's not much of a game.

Ghost of the Shoals
By Sandra M. Odell
Pharah Dupree always wore her hair up tight.
"You ever hear of Muscle Shoals, Manny?" she said one afternoon. We sat on the back porch steps of Rock Bottom Studios, her with a cigarette, me with a longneck Bud, thinking about how good it'd feel if she smiled my way. "Some of the best music in the world came out of Muscle Shoals, all the big names. Aretha, Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Wilson Pickett, Bob Dylan, Percy Sledge."
The sun beat the sweat out of me and cut dusty shadows through the trees around the edge of the gravel parking lot. "Yeah. They say the Tennessee River's what makes the Muscle Shoals sound."

When I Had Eyes, I Didn't See
By Anna Yeatts
I had eyes once.
Before the Lift-man came.
Now I have knobs, smooth and black and round as pegs. I touch them with my fingertips and try to remember what it felt like, having eyes.
If I push one knob in, the other one pops out like the elevator buttons used to do.
There used to be a brass plate mounted on the wall next to the elevator's cage with two smooth black pegs. I pushed in the top peg to go up. The bottom peg popped out. Gears ground, cables groaned, and the elevator clanked down to the lobby.

Blackbird Pastry
by Megan Branning
Sing a song of sixpence
A pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing.
Wasn't that a dainty dish
To set before the king?
A dainty dish? Oh, I suppose, but did you never wonder how four and twenty blackbirds fit inside an ordinary pie? Well, just you ask my mother; she cooked it. She's known for her baking skills—almost magical, some folks say. That's why the king wanted her for his castle kitchens.
I saw that pie for myself, you know. They wasn't blackbirds, not really. Magpies and rooks, they was. But mainly, it were the pastry what was interesting.
Mum had left me kneading dough while she went out to fetch more butter. Just like her. She always gives me the dull tasks. Who knows when she'll teach me the good bits. I been asking her that for years.
Anyhow, I had the whole kitchen to myself, for once. But I wouldn't for long. Some duke had ordered us to make a feast, to celebrate the king getting married to a new queen from some far-off country. My mother's pie would be the most important part of the meal, the duke said. We'd been working since afore dawn.
So I sat down to have a rest while I could. That's when I heard a bird squawking. It didn't come from outside, neither. I went into the larder and noticed a cloth I'd never seen. I pulled it back, and what do you think I found underneath it? A cage full of birds, all fluttering about, noisy as you please.
One of them came right up to the bars and looked at me. And then he spoke. He truly did.
"Miss," he said. "Let us out."
"My name's Belinda," I told him.
"Belinda," he said. "The cook means to put us in a pie today."
I'd seen the crust cooling out on the table. Mum had asked me not to touch it. But it weren't big enough for half the birds in that cage. "What, all of you?" I asked.
"All of us," said the magpie. "Open the cage, please."
"My mother'd have my hide if I let you lot escape."
"Just me, then," he said, and hopped to the door. "Please."
"I don't believe she means to put you all in the pie," I said, and crossed my arms over my chest to show he didn't have me fooled. "You wouldn't fit."
"I heard her say it. I'll prove it to you if you'll open the door."
I know I shouldn't have done it, but I were curious, and didn't want to knead bread dough all morning, neither. I opened the door, and the magpie flew up onto my arm. The other birds didn't even try to get out, but I shut the cage anyway.
I took him to the pie crust, and saw that it surely weren't big enough to hold more than two or three birds his size.
"There, you see," I said.
Well, he didn't say a word, just jumped onto the table and swaggered about. Then he stopped, peered at the pastry, and in he went. He vanished, like he'd gone straight down a well. I swear, he did.
I knew my mum would tan my behind if I let that bird get away, so I jumped in after him. What else could I do?
It didn't hurt when I landed. The ground felt like half-cooked dough. I sat up and looked about, and do you know something? It looked like dough, too. Hills and rocks all made of pastry crust dusted with flour, and smelling better than anything, let me tell you. Made me hungry.
I tilted back my head to see where I'd come in, but I only saw a pinkish colored sky.
The magpie landed on my shoulder. "Here we are," he said, like it were nothing strange.
"Only where are we?" I asked. At least he hadn't scarpered on me.
"Inside the pie, obviously," he said.
"My mother's pie?"
I shook my head. "How'd it get to be so big inside?"
"I'm more interested in why," said the bird. "But more than that, we need to get back out."
"It smells nice." I walked over to a pastry hill and broke off a piece to eat. It tasted like my mother's pie crust, what was famous all over the kingdom.
The magpie's claws dug into my shoulder, and they was sharp as knives. "We need to find our way out and free the other birds," he said.
"I thought you wanted to know why it's so big in here."
"I'm sure we can figure that out once we're outside the pie," he said, and took off to start swooping round. "Look for a door, Belinda."
I did, but I couldn't find anything. It felt like walking round in a pie crust forest, and it didn't seem so nice after a while. The pink sky scared me, being so unnatural, and I wondered if we'd ever get out.
Then I started hearing footsteps. Maybe I only imagined it, since I got so frightened in them pie-crust hills, but it sounded like someone else walking about.
"Magpie?" I whispered, staring up at the sky, hoping to see him fly past. I spotted something black, only it grew too big to be him, and started squawking and croaking, and what do you think happened? Twenty-three birds landed on top of me, all feathers and feet and noise.
I fell on my bum, and they all made a hubbub, flapping and clawing. I couldn't hear footsteps anymore, that's certain.
The first magpie came back and stood on a pastry rock, cocking his head at me. "This is not good," he said.
"Oh, do you think?" I shoved a rook off of my lap.
"We must find our way out," said the magpie. "Now."
"I thought I heard someone walking," I said. "Afore all them birds got dumped on me."
"Someone else? Did you see?"
He ruffled his feathers and flicked his tail. "We haven't got time to worry about it. We need to keep searching for a way out. Come on."
He hopped along the ground in front of me now. Some of the other birds followed us, but most of them didn't.
"Why did you come into the pie if you only wanted right back out?" I asked.
He kept moving and didn't turn back to look at me. "I had to show you proof before you would free the others, didn't I? Unfortunately, I misjudged how big it would be, and how hard it would be to escape."
"Why is it so big anyway?" I didn't mean to ask him, just meant to think out loud, like. Pies aren't supposed to be the size of castles or forests or whole countries inside. They should only be big enough to hold some apples or meat.
My mum never told me she could make them this way. I had more to learn than I thought. Now I considered it, she hadn't taught me much at all. Just breads and stews and such.
"It's a curious thing," said the magpie. "Your mother made the pie. Why would she do this?"
"I don't know. I heard she made a pie full of birds, year ago. That's probably why she got asked to make this one. But I never saw it. I thought it were just very large. On the outside, I mean." That's when I remembered something she'd told me. "I asked her once how she got to be such a good cook. She said the trick is making food what people don't expect. Maybe that's why?"
The magpie made an indignant chirp. "You call this food! Innocent birds in a pie?"
It got dark, then. The pink sky turned black, like the sun had gone down all at once. I bumped right into a pastry tree and almost fell over.
The magpie chattered. "We're too late! The pie is closed!"
I felt him land on my shoulder, so I reached up to stroke his back. "We'll be all right," I said. I didn't know if my mother meant to bake the pie or not. If she did, we wouldn't be all right, truth be told.
"We have to think, we have to think," said the magpie, and his claws dug into my skin again.
"Shh." I wanted him to settle down. "My mother didn't pluck the birds. She didn't kill them. If she meant to bake the pie, wouldn't she do that?"
They had got all stirred up now. I could hear them fussing and cawing nearby.
"Yes, yes," said the magpie. "Yes, of course, you may be right. She might not plan to bake us. We may yet live. Oh, yes, thank you, wise Belinda."
No one had ever called me wise afore. I didn't know if it meant much, coming from a bird, but it made my face feel warm, just the same.
"Only, how do we find a way out, now?" I asked. "I can't see nothing."
That's when I heard the footsteps again. It weren't them other birds. Some person had come into the pie with us.
The magpie heard it, too, I could tell cause I felt him go all stiff.
"Who's there?" I said.
The footsteps stopped.
A voice came back, all muffled. "The pie will come after the first course. When the king cuts into it, the birds will fly out. I promise, it will be most entertaining."
It seemed like an odd sort of answer, but then I understood, it had come from outside the pie. Maybe the footsteps had, too. The magpie stopped holding my shoulder so tight.
I felt much better myself, I admit.
"Oh," he said, and started chuckling. "Now I see."
"There," I said. "We'll be all right. I told you."
I sat down and leaned against a pastry hill, and broke off a piece to eat. The magpie pecked at it, and we stopped worrying, cause we knew we could get out, soon as the king cut the pie open.
A pink slice of sunrise came quite sudden, and then everything happened fast. A cloud of magpies and rooks exploded like a dropped bag of flour, pulling me up with them, and people shrieked and laughed, then shouted when I tumbled to the floor. Chairs scraped and the king jumped up, and I rolled over just in time to see a man dressed all in black leap out of the pie above me with daggers flashing.
I tried to grab him, but I couldn't reach.
The king fell.
The man in black stepped over him and snatched the queen, pulling her toward him.
One more magpie burst out of the pie. My magpie. He spread his wings and flew in the assassin's face, a blur of feathers. I jumped up and started hitting the man, and he dropped his daggers to protect his face from the magpie's claws and my fingers.
Guards came stomping over. When it were all done, the king had a bruise from falling and the queen had a scrape, but that's all. Birds had roosted in the rafters. The duke who'd told my mum to make the pie had tried to sneak out in all the commotion, but a guard had nabbed him. He weren't too happy.
No one really paid any mind to me or my magpie, but I don't care. Mum let me keep him for a pet, and he lives in the kitchens with us. He perches on the window sill and we feed him scraps. I named him Hero, and he likes the name well.
Some of the rooks haven't come back down yet. They make a bit of a mess on the floor in the feast hall, let me tell you.
No one else ever thanked me, but Mum fussed over me and gave me a special supper, because she said I'm a hero, too, for saving the queen from an assassin.
I asked her why anyone would want to kill the new queen. She said it's all politics and she don't understand it, but it's to do with what country the queen came from, like as not. Neither of us remembers what country that is.
As for my mother, she still makes pies, and the king still calls her the best cook in the whole kingdom. She says soon she'll teach me how to make a proper pastry, only I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to make them like she does. Mum can make any sort of pie you could think of. But she'll not be taking any more special orders from any more dukes.
That's certain.

Dear Bluma,
I heard that Hershel Schmulewitz, that blockhead, has also presumed to ask for your hand in marriage, which gives you two proposals to consider. Now, you needn't worry that this will be a sentimental or a wheedling sort of letter. You already know how I feel, and I suppose Hershel's not so much of a blockhead that he doesn't feel the same way. I'm simply writing to lay out the reasons, plainly and concisely, why it would certainly be more to your benefit to marry me.

Giacomo Puccini's "La Bohème" Will Be Performed Exclusively at National Taichung Theater over Christmas
由 編輯部 -
In addition to the main plot, the Christmas tree also presents its own story, adding layers to the work.
The National Taichung Theater will present Giacomo Puccini's "La Bohème". German director, Andreas Homoki, will be directing in late December (around Christmas time). The opera will be performed with the National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Shao-Chia LÜ. The National Taichung Theater invites Taiwanese music fans to watch "La Bohème" and enjoy Christmas together from December 24th to 27th.
German director Andreas Homoki instills contemporary perspectives into the new version of "La Bohème"
"La Bohème", which has been hailed as one of the three great Italian operas of Puccini, has been interpreted by many artists since its premiere in 1985, making it one of the most frequently performed operas on the world stage. The production is directed by Andreas Homoki, a director at the Zurich Opera House, Switzerland, whose unconventional interpretation instills a contemporary perspective to the cross-generational commonality of "La Bohème."
To highlight Puccini's amazing technique of plot development, Homuzi's "La Bohème" differs from the traditional method of a four-act series without intermission, with a bright and smooth rhythm from beginning to end, focusing on the characters, the music, and the intense tension of the plot. Homoki also eschews the complicated set and uses a simple and open stage with snow to create the overall atmosphere. As the story progresses, the only visual element on the stage is the Christmas tree, which is moved in, erected high and then removed. In addition to the main plot, the Christmas tree also presents its own story, adding layers to the work.
Prestigious vocalists at home and abroad will gather together at the finale of the premiere
The casts of the opera are five internationally renowned vocalists. This includes Jessica Nuccio, an Italian soprano, who has won several international awards, who will interpret the title role of Mimi. Hoyoon CHUNG, a tenor who won first prize at the Korean National Opera Competition. And Adam Frandsen, a tenor from Denmark, who has received international attention for his energetic singing. He plays the title role of Rodolfo. While an Italian soprano, Veronica Granatiero, and an American baritone, Ethan Vincent play the roles of Musetta and Marcello respectively. The foreign singers cooperated fully with the government's epidemic prevention measures and came to Taiwan in advance for quarantine. They will be in the best condition for rehearsals and performances.
In addition, some of Taiwan's most important vocalists, including sopranos LIN Ling-hui and HUANG Li-chin, baritones CHAO Fang-hao and YEH Chan-yu, Rios LI, and bass Julian LO, have also been invited to perform. Lin Ling-Hui, who plays the lead role of Mimi, said, "I am looking forward to seeing the different interpretations of Eastern and Western singers under their respective cultures." In addition to the participation of the Taichung Children's Chorus, the Opera House specially recruited the "NTT Opera Chorus" and invited professional teachers from various fields to participate in a six-month training program, including 40 classes of physical development and voice training, to actively cultivate local talents and hopefully accumulate more experience through participation in the Opera House's annual productions.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) University of Minnesota president Eric Kaler retreated Friday from comments he made right after athletic director Norwood Teague's surprise resignation over sexual harassment allegations late last week, when he suggested it all happened because Teague had been served too much alcohol.
Teague was accused of groping two high-level administrators, Erin Dady and Ann Aronson, during a senior leadership retreat July 15. Teague read an apology the day of his resignation in which he blamed alcohol for his behavior at the event and vowed to seek treatment. In a joint statement Thursday, Dady and Aronson called sexual harassment ''a predatory act'' and said having too much to drink does not excuse it.
After Teague resigned, a third woman, Star Tribune basketball reporter Amelia Rayno, published her own account Monday accusing Teague of sexually harassing her in 2013.
In his statement Friday, Kaler also backed away from his suggestion that the university might temporarily hire Teague back as a consultant to ease the transition to a new athletic director. That would have cost the school $285 an hour. Kaler had said Teague might still have important background knowledge on the university's push for $190 million in private donations to build a new athletes village.
Kaler issued the statement mainly to announce that the university had hired an outside lawyer to investigate the circumstances surrounding Teague's resignation, making good on a commitment the school made Tuesday. The review will be led by Karen Schanfield of the Fredrikson and Byron law firm. She'll be joined by another attorney from the firm, former federal prosecutor Joe Dixon, who won the conviction that sent Minnesota Ponzi schemer Tom Petters to prison.
Kaler said Schanfield and Dixon will provide a public, written report to the university's Board of Regents. Topics the review will address include whether the university knew or should have known about allegations of sexual harassment by Teague but failed to address them, and whether Teague's background was properly vetted during his hiring process in 2012.
The president also said the university will conduct a full internal audit of the intercollegiate athletics department, with the initial focus on the information most pertinent to the Teague case. He said he discussed the need for the audit with Legislative Auditor James Nobles, who he said had expressed full confidence in the independence and ability of the university's vice president of internal audits.

Late and delayed supplier payments are often discussed as a problem that can plague any industry. While that may be true, in the real estate sector, suppliers are considered such valuable partners that late payments are avoided at all costs, said Jennifer Coolidge, founder and president of real estate accounts payable (AP) solution provider Nexus.
Faster supplier payments do not necessarily mean that accounts payable processes are working as efficiently as they could and should be, however. That's particularly true in the real estate industry, Coolidge recently told PYMNTS, where a complex web of banking relationships, bank accounts and business partners has the AP process struggling to detangle itself.
Penetration of electronic payments in this industry is quite low, thanks to transaction complexities, the makeup of supplier bases and the need to integrate AP and ePayment solutions into an already multifaceted back-office infrastructure — all of which remain top barriers to digitizing accounts payable. To offer an idea of just how complicated AP processes can be, Coolidge pointed to one Nexus customer.
Companies do not want to consolidate funds into a single master account, though, instead preferring to maintain their multiple banking relationships, she added. That being said, the importance of the supplier base is paramount to real estate companies, giving rise to paying invoices upon receipt.
Those complex banking partnerships mean AP transactions are rarely straight forward, too. A supplier that bills a real estate company for $1,000, for instance, may use different bank accounts linked to different properties to pay a portion of that invoice, and all of those payments might be sent via paper check.
Any accounts payable solution must respect the existing banking relationships, as well as the importance of the supplier base to real estate firms. To address both these needs, Nexus recently partnered with Visa to integrate a virtual card solution into its AP platform, adding capabilities that Coolidge said supports the fast supplier payments that these businesses need without compromising their network of bank partners.
Since the supplier relationship is so important, however, the challenge typically associated with commercial card adoption is amplified. Vendors may be reluctant to accept cards and the interchange fees associated with them. In the solution now offered by Nexus and Visa, vendors are emailed virtual card and transaction data that they must manually enter into their own systems to process a payment — a point of friction that may not necessarily bode well for the buyer-supplier relationship.
According to Coolidge, vendors must be educated on why virtual cards may be a better way to accept payment. While a real estate company may send out a paper check upon receipt of an invoice, that vendor must still wait several days to receive that check. Plus, the security associated with virtual cards far surpasses that of paper checks.
"We do find that suppliers that target a lot of our customers, and have a high volume of transactions, are reluctant to process the single-use virtual card emails," she noted, adding that Nexus will work with those vendors to provide efficiencies for payment processing when virtual card payments are initiated.
Nexus' work with its clients' suppliers showcases just how critical the vendor relationship is in this industry — and why efficient AP processes must not only address the needs of the real estate companies, but meet the needs of the entire supply chain. For both sides of the transaction, access to data is becoming even more important, Coolidge said, and is another factor behind why virtual cards and electronic B2B payments overall can forge deeper connections between vendors and their clients in this market.
Five checking accounts used to pay one supplier bill is not a process that fosters transparency when paper checks are used, she continued. With issues like duplicate invoices or erroneous payments remaining top challenges for the real estate industry today, enhanced visibility into B2B transactions isn't just saving time, but fostering the buyer-supplier relationship that real estate firms need to keep healthy so they can thrive.
"It gets pretty powerful for both buyer and supplier," said Coolidge.

From Hello Kitty, to cat island, to cat cafes, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Japan is a nation of cat fanatics; but who among us isn't? Cats in Japanese art are nothing new. In fact the world's first novel, The Tale of Genji, even featured a cat as one of the main plot catalysts in the story, way back in the 11th century.
From ukiyo-e prints to contemporary watercolors, in the history of Japanese art there's arguably been no bigger muse than the cat. We've taken a deep dive into world of Japanese cat painting to explore this fascinating phenomenon, and bring you 10 of the most charming works of feline art.
Two young women just out of the hot spring baths are set upon by an adorable kitten in this woodblock print by one of the country's most highly respected ukiyo-e talents, Kitagawa Utamaro. The artist was already indulging in one of his favorite artistic motifs of beautiful women and mischievous kitties over 200 years ago. Light and playful it's the perfect encapsulation of Utamaro's love of the female and feline forms.
Taken from his series Thirty-two Customs and Manners of Women this famous cat painting by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi is entitled Tiresome and captures the tender love of a woman and her cat. Is it the ukiyo-e cat who is tiresome? It seems more likely that the title refers to what cats always appear to be thinking! As you can probably tell by his masterful use of simple lines and bold color Yoshitoshi was considered one of ukiyo-e's greatest artists. For more of the stories behind Yoshitoshi's art, check out the 100 Aspects of the Moon!
A slightly different shift of narrative focus from the previous two pieces, Kiyochika Kobayashi's 1886 artwork Cat and Lantern captures cats doing what they love to do best: causing playful destruction. Born in Tokyo, Kobayashi's work commonly utilized a deeper level of color than many of his woodblock printing contemporaries. The use of darker shades gives his work a moody, almost night-time feel that's hard to exactly articulate but definitely makes it distinguishable from other ukiyo-e print makers.
This print created a little more recently, in 1926 is entitled Tama, the Cat and is the work of Hiroaki Takahashi, a Tokyo-based artist who produced some of his most striking pieces during the 20th century. Some of the most common themes that would appear in Takahashi's work were nature scenes, Edo-era landscapes, and of course portraits of cats. Although his name may not be as famous as some of his predecessors, Takahashi's work played an important role in setting a precedent for more modern ukiyo-e styles. His use of shading and blending colors especially, to craft perfectly balanced evening and night skies are unparalleled. In this particular piece however he's kept it simple, opting for bold block coloring as the image's main form.
A whole different approach to Japanese cat paintings comes from Tomoo Inagaki an artist who specialized in the Sosaku Hanga movement. Born in the early 20th century, Sosaku Hanga was predominantly focused on the ideologies of pure self-expression, with artists bringing together their prints entirely by themselves. The production of ukiyo-e had traditionally been by small team including carvers, printers, and publishers, but Sosaku Hanga brought it back to basics. Without the weight of traditional motifs, Inagaki could focus all the viewer's attention on the emotive subject, making a print that is incredibly beautiful in its bold simplicity.
You can find out more about contemporary ukiyo-e in our Ultimate Guide to Japanese Art.
Now it's time to move into the 1950s, a time when Japan was in a large state of cultural flux following the events of World War II. As the nation became more connected with the western world, artists and stylistic influences from the west began to permeate Japan's creative output. This piece by Masaharu Aoyama is a great example of the collision of western and eastern art ideals. The drawing of the cat looks similar to that of a classic British painting, however the simple wood grain background gives the undeniable sense of a specifically Japanese cat print.
A nod to the past, but also a look to the future through the form of narrative playfulness is what you get with this piece titled Cat and Mouse by Kyosai Kawanabe. Born as the son of a samurai, Kawanabe became one of Japan's first-ever political caricaturists. His almost tongue in cheek narrative style clear in this piece, which sees the cat holding a mouse in its paw rather nonchalantly. His ability to perfectly encapsulate attitudes through the posture and movements of the figures in his works garnered Kawanabe a reputation for being one of the most individualistic artists of his time.
Drawing influence and dabbling in the world of nihonga painting, Togyu Okumura's slightly more contemporary takes on traditional styles of Japanese art made him one of the most famous watercolor artists in Japan. For this most adorable example of Japanese cat painting, Leisure Day, we the somewhat disheveled character lounging with a concerned expression, in a wonderful demonstration of Okumura's ability to interweave classic nihonga aesthetics into a rather contemporary image. An iconic figure in the evolution of Japanese art, Okumura always painted with one foot in the past and the other in the future, which is what made him such a celebrated name.
A multi-disciplinarian, Tadanori Yokoo is one of the country's most eye-catching contemporary artists. Throughout his career he's worked as print maker, graphic designer, and more recently, a painter. His accessible, yet unique works have garnered him a following beyond Japan, and scored him a solo exhibition in the MoMA in New York. This particular piece balances somewhere between classic and kitsch, however leans just ever so slightly to the kitsch side. Created in 1997, the image is a silkscreen work that mixes both classic Japanese motifs like the waving cat (maneki-neko) and inari torii gates with a cross section of artistic styles, from photorealism to old ukiyo-e type imagery.
Of course what you see here isn't even a scratch on the tip on an iceberg. Luckily there's plenty of literature out there to guide you through the world Japanese cat painting. One book we recommend is Cats in Ukiyo-e: Japanese Woodblock Print by Kaneko Nobuhisa featuring many of the curious and fascinating cats of Kuniyoshi Utagawa. This gloriously illustrated collection of 19th century ukiyo-e prints is an excellent jumping off point for both learning more about Kuniyoshi's cat focused art and the techniques of ukiyo-e printing.

A membrane may be defined as 'an interface between two phases, controlling the transport of materials between the phases. It is a selective barrier, allowing the passage of only certain components based on size, solubility and/or diffusion.
Polymeric films and sheets can act as semipermeable membranes between two different mediums. Porous polymeric membranes come with different pore sizes, retaining particles larger than the pore size by surface capture, while non-porous polymeric membranes employ the principles of solubility and diffusivity of the materials.

Australian golf clubs now have clear guidelines to improve their gender equality. Picture: Tristan Jones
Golf Australia urges clubs to embrace gender equality
WOMEN and girls will have a greater focus in golf following the launch of Golf Australia's "Guidelines for the promotion of equal opportunity for women and girls in golf".
Produced in conjunction with the Australian Human Rights Commission, the publication aims to reduced discrimination while promoting equal opportunity.
Kate Jenkins, sex discrimination commissioner at the commission, said the publication offered a practical guide for golf clubs.
"The Australian Human Rights Commission welcomes this opportunity to partner with Golf Australia on the development of these guidelines," Ms Jenkins said.
"They provide information on the operation of the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 and practical guidance on how golf clubs can promote equal opportunity for women and girls.
"With its use of a unique handicap system, golf is particularly well placed to be an inclusive game for people of all genders, ages and abilities. A real opportunity exists to increase the participation rates for women and girls within golf.
Australian golfer Stephanie Na. Picture: Sarah Reed
"The guidelines provide an opportunity for golf clubs around Australia to revisit their policies and practices to ensure compliance with the Act, and to address these issues.
"The guidelines are particularly timely given the current momentum in relation to the participation of women in sport."
The publication provides guidance for clubs to ensure memberships are gender neutral, provide open access to the course at all times for both genders, maximise female participation and facilitate the inclusion of women in governance arrangements.
Golf Australia chief executive Stephen Pitt was pleased the sport could actively address gender equality.
The guidelines are intended to improve access and inclusion for women golfers.
"I would like to express GA's sincere appreciation to the Australian Human Rights Commission for agreeing to produce this publication for the game of golf," he said.
"To this point there has been a clear gap in the guidance we have been able to make available to clubs on two significant issues that relate to equal opportunity for women and girls.
"Firstly, the consistency of various golf operational practices with the federal sex discrimination law, which has been in force since 1984, and, secondly, what it is that clubs can do to implement policies to promote equal opportunity for women and girls in golf.
"We believe this document will go a long way towards filling this space."

India consul general in United States calls for 'Israeli model' in Kashmir
Indian official tells New York meeting: 'It has happened in the Middle East. If the Israeli people can do it, we can also do it'
At a private event on Saturday in New York City, Sandeep Chakravorty, India's consul-general to the city, told Kashmiri Hindus and Indian nationals that India will build settlements modelled after Israel for the return of the Hindu population to Kashmir.
Speaking to Kashmiri Hindus, known as Pandits, and Indian nationals at the event, organised to discuss Indian filmmaker Vivek Agnihorti's forthcoming project on the forced displacement of Kashmiri Hindus in the early 1990s, Chakravorty asked those present to give the government some time to implement its plans in the valley.
"I believe the security situation will improve, it will allow the refugees to go back, and in your lifetime, you will be able to go back … and you will be able to find security, because we already have a model in the world.
"I don't know why we don't follow it. It has happened in the Middle East. If the Israeli people can do it, we can also do it," Chakravorty said.
The event held in New York is one of a number of events held at the behest of India's right-wing government in its attempt to wrestle back contol of the narrative in the face of the immense grassroots mobilisation against its actions in Kashmir.
It is also the latest incarnation of the Indian government's goals of a settler-colonial policy for the valley, which Kashmiri academics and scholars have long warned is the ultimate ambitions of the Indian state.
"I think the return of Kashmiri Pandits is being instrumentalized to justify a settler-colonial project in Kashmir," Mona Bhan, an associate professor of South Asian Studies at Syracuse University in New York, said.
Bhan told Middle East Eye that there remains a deep anxiety among Kashmiri Pandits that their pain is being weaponised to further the goals of the BJP-led government. She says the event on Saturday seemed to be an attempt to allay those fears.
Dr. Strangelove Back Playing With Nuclear Fire. They Know what they are Doing and they Do it to Condition the Kremlin's response. But if they Miscalculate? The potentially Most Dangerous Crisis since Cuba.
"But the conflation of Kashmiri Pandits with Indian Hindus and talk of an Israeli model means that you are preparing for Kashmiri Pandits to return as settlers," Bhan told MEE.
On 5 August, the Indian government placed more than seven million people under a communication blackout, going on to illegally abrogate Article 370 effectively ending Kashmir's semi-autonomous status.
India's actions has drawn condemnation from US lawmakers, human rights groups as well as prompted two US Congressional hearings, in which there was a call for foreign delegations and foreign journalists to be allowed into the valley. Thus far, only a far-right European delegation has been allowed in while foreign journalists have not been allowed to enter the valley since August 5.
Chakraborty, the Indian consul-general, slammed international interest and interference into the matter.
"[The issue is) getting pulled into the [UN] Human Rights Council. It's getting pulled into the US Congress.
"A delegation wants to go. But go to other places. Go to Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan. No one is talking about taking photos there. So why do they want to come to our place? They don't like it now that we are now asserting ourselves," Chakravorty said.
As part of its justification for scrapping Articles 370 and Article 35A, which ensured that those from outside Kashmir could not purchase land in the state, the BJP-led government has repeatedly promised the return of the Hindu minority who left Kashmir during the height of the insurgency against Indian rule in the early 1990s.
Estimates vary, but more than 100,000 Kashmiri Hindus left during the upheaval. According to government figures, 219 Kashmiri Pandits were killed between 1989-2004.
Pro-freedom leaders in Kashmir have repeatedly called for the return of Kashmiri Pandits, but have urged them to return as neighbours and not settlers.
Trump says he told Saudi's King Salman that the ruler wouldn't last without US support
Since the insurgency began in the late 1980s, more than 70,000 Kashmiri Muslims have died, while an estimated 7,000 others have "disappeared".

At the event on Saturday, parts of which was broadcast on Facebook Live, Bollywood actor Anupam Kher and visiting filmmaker Agnihorti praised the Indian government for taking the bold step to change Kashmir's status.
Kher, known to be staunch Modi supporter who previously described India's actions in August as a "final solution", said that it "took 70 years to abrogate Article 370; let's celebrate that."
Agnihorti, currently on a roadshow to promote his film on the experience of Kashmiri Pandits, which he describes as "India's holocaust", has faced a barrage of criticism and condemnation from Kashmiri activists and student groups for spreading right-wing propaganda as well as over claims of sexual harassment in India.
Last week, an event at Rutgers University had to be moved to a temple in Edison after an outcry from students and academics.
Organisers of the event deny that the outcry prompted its cancelation at Rutgers.
On Saturday, Kher dismissed the criticism as people being "frightened" of Agnihorti's film.
I am strong proponent of free speech. I am also a strong proponent of bringing speakers @RutgersU who model intellectual rigor & integrity, which our students deserve. This speaker has neither, as his record clearly shows. I wish someone had advised against it. https://t.co/Ilj99KkQA1

Israeli-India relations have intensified since the election of Narendra Modi in 2014. India is Israel's biggest purchaser of arms, amounting to $1bn per year.
Both India and Israel have used the spectre of Islamic terror to justify their security policies and the need for partnership.
Ramadan 2016: Israel 'cuts off water supply to West Bank' during Muslim holy month
On Monday, Agnihoti delivered a lecture at an event jointly organised by the American Jewish Council and the Hindu Jewish Council.
Invoking the Jewish experience
On Saturday, the consul-general also said that if Kashmiri Pandits were afraid of losing their culture, they needn't look further than the experiene of the Jewish people, who he said "kept their culture for 2,000 years outside their land, and [then] they went back.
"We all have to keep the Kashmiri culture alive. The Kashmiri culture is the Indian culture, it is the Hindu culture. I feel as much Kashmiri as anyone else," he said to applause.
Theresa Matthew, a New York City-based activist with South Asia Solidarity Initiative (SASI), told MEE that though she was not surprised by the video, it was still "always breathtaking to witness the sheer peddling of lies by senior government officials.
"The violent re-writing of the subcontinent's history is angering, stunning and also tiring. It's a familiar tactic that relies on nationalism, Brahminism and Islamophobia. It has little to do with displaced Kashmiri Pandits," Matthews told MEE.
In early August, India sent tens of thousands of additional troops to Kashmir.
Though landlines and post-paid mobile phones have been reconnected in Kashmir since the communicat9ions blockade was announced, prepaid phones, text messaging and internet services are still down in Kashmir.
There are more than 700,000 Indian troops in Kashmir, in what is described as the most militarised region on earth. Since 1947, Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan, with a small portion held by China.

South Stream pipeline emerge on the coast 15km south from Varna city centre
All Bulgarian and EU environmental requirements will be met in the construction of the South Stream gas transit pipeline, the South Stream company sought to assure Bulgaria Wednesday. A company statement clarified that the end of the underwater section of the Russian-sponsored pipeline will end on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, and the starting point of the land section will be located several kilometers away from the Galata quarter in Bulgaria's Varna.
The transition from the underwater to the land section of south stream will be made with a horizontal drilling so the pipeline will not be technically visible on the surface even during the construction phase, the company said.
It added that the same location already hosts a gas pipeline transiting natural gas from Bulgaria's Black Sea deposits, which has not interfered with local life, business, tourism, or nature in any way.
Under Bulgarian legislation, the distance between the gas pipeline and the closest inhabited building must be at least 120 meters. The South Stream company explained that its pipeline will emerge on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast at a location 4.5 km away from the Galata quarter, about 15 km away from Varna centre, and 8 km from Varna's Asparukh Bridge.
"It is also important to note that the South Stream pipeline will be delivering natural gas, not oil or oil derivatives. Natural gas is the most environment-friendly fuel known in the world, which, in a combination with the hi-tech solution for transferring the pipe onto the land through a horizontal drilling cannot be any matter of concern on part of the environmental organization, the tourism business, or the people living in the area," the South Stream company alleged Wednesday.
The South Stream pipeline is intended to transport up to 63 billion cubic meters of natural gas to central and southern Europe, diversifying Russian gas routes away from transit countries such as Ukraine. Construction started in December 2012 in Russia.
The pipes will go from Russia to Bulgaria via the Black Sea; in Bulgaria it will split in two – with the northern leg going through Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, and Slovenia to Austria and Northern Italy, and the southern leg going through Greece to Southern Italy.
The Black Sea underwater section of South Stream between Russia and Bulgaria will be 900 km long, and will be constructed at a maximum depth of 2 km. The pipeline's core shareholders include Gazprom with 50%, Italy's Eni with 20% and Germany's Wintershall Holding and France's EDF with 15% each.

Game of Privilege has received the 2017 Herbert Warren Wind Book Award
January 30, 2018 / History Department
We are proud to announce that CMU history professor Lane Demas's new book Game of Privilege has received the 2017 Herbert Warren Wind Book Award. The United States Golf Association published an interview with Dr. Demas on February 2, 2018. From the USGA website:
Established in 1987, the Herbert Warren Wind Book Award recognizes and honors outstanding contributions to golf literature while seeking to broaden the public's interest in, and knowledge of, the game of golf. Wind, who died in 2005, was a renowned writer for The New Yorker and Sports Illustrated. He is the only writer to win the Bob Jones Award, the USGA's highest honor.
Game of Privilege: An African American History of Golf, authored by this year's recipient, Dr. Lane Demas, is a groundbreaking exploration of the role of race, class and access to the game of golf. Dr. Demas details the history of black golfers during the age of segregation, the legal battle to integrate public golf courses, and the little-known history of the United Golfers Association, an all-black golf tour that operated from 1925 to 1975.
'I'm proud of the fact that this book provides a narrative and historical content that's accessible to everyone, especially the everyday golf fan,' said Dr. Demas. 'It's very humbling to receive this prestigious award and be recognized by a premier organization such as the USGA.'
Game of Privilege was published by the University of Carolina Press in September 2017.
Congratulations to Dr. Demas!

Love's Labors Lost
Love's Labor's Lost (Annotated)
by William Shakespeare, Barbara a Mowat (Editor), Paul Werstine (Editor)
The authoritative edition Love's Labor's Lost from The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers. At first glance, Shakespeare's early comedy Love's Labor's Lost simply entertains and amuses. Four young men (one of them a king) withdraw from the world for three years, taking an oath that they will have nothing to do with women. The King of Navarre soon learns, however, that the Princess of France and her ladies are about to arrive. Although he lodges them outside of his court, all four men fall in love with the ladies, abandoning their oaths and setting out to win their hands. The laughter triggered by this story is augmented by subplots involving a braggart soldier, a clever page, illiterate servants, a parson, a schoolmaster, and a constable so dull that he is named Dull. Letters and poems are misdelivered, confessions are overheard, entertainments are presented, and language is played with, and misused, by the ignorant and learned alike. At a deeper level, Love's Labor's Lost also teases the mind. The men begin with the premise that women either are seductresses or goddesses. The play soon makes it clear, however, that the reality of male-female relations is different. That women are not identical to men's images of them is a common theme in Shakespeare's plays. In Love's Labor's Lost it receives one of its most pressing examinations. This edition includes: -Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play -Full explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the play -Scene-by-scene plot summaries -A key to the play's famous lines and phrases -An introduction to reading Shakespeare's language -An essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar providing a modern perspective on the play -Fresh images from the Folger Shakespeare Library's vast holdings of rare books -An annotated guide to further reading Essay by William C. Carroll The Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, is home to the world's largest collection of Shakespeare's printed works, and a magnet for Shakespeare scholars from around the globe. In addition to exhibitions open to the public throughout the year, the Folger offers a full calendar of performances and programs. For more information, visit Folger.edu. Read Less

Das Standardglas (auch als Alkoholeinheit bezeichnet) ist eine in vielen Ländern verwendete, aber nicht überall gleich definierte Maßeinheit, die es gestattet, die beim Konsum eines alkoholischen Getränks aufgenommene Alkoholmenge unabhängig vom Volumen und dem Alkoholgehalt der aufgenommenen Flüssigkeit anzugeben. Es wird im Bereich der öffentlichen Gesundheit verwendet, zum Beispiel für Richtlinien zum Alkoholkonsum.

Deutschland und Schweiz

In Deutschland und der Schweiz entspricht ein Standardglas etwa 10 bis 12 Gramm reinem Alkohol (Ethanol), was unter Normalbedingungen etwa 12,5 bis 15 Millilitern entspricht. Da die Menge Alkohol pro tatsächlichem Glas konsumierten Getränks je nach Alkoholgehalt und Serviergröße stark schwanken kann, entspricht ein Standardglas zwar in vielen, keineswegs aber in allen Fällen auch einem tatsächlichen Glas. Für Bier mit 5 % Alkoholgehalt entspricht das Standardglas 250 bis 300 ml.

Österreich

Ein österreichisches Standardglas entspricht 20 g reinem Ethanol. Es enthält damit ungefähr doppelt so viel Alkohol wie ein Standardglas in Deutschland und der Schweiz; andersherum entspricht ein tatsächliches Glas alkoholischen Getränks nur halb so vielen österreichischen Standardgläsern wie Standardgläsern nach deutscher oder schweizerischer Definition.

Andere Länder

In englischsprachigen Ländern wird das Standardglas zumeist als  bezeichnet (im Vereinigten Königreich jedoch als  oder , also Alkoholeinheit). In den USA und Kanada entspricht ein Standardglas 14 Gramm Alkohol, in Australien, Neuseeland, Indien und Irland 10 Gramm, im Vereinigten Königreich 8 Gramm. Damit ist der britische Standard nach einer Vergleichsstudie aus dem Jahr 2015 die strengste von etwa 30 dort angegebenen nationalen Normen in Europa; in allen anderen dort erhobenen Ländern mit Ausnahme Österreichs lag die Definition zwischen 10 und 16 Gramm. Die britische Definition bringt unter anderem eine einfache Berechnungsmethode mit sich; nach ihr kann der Alkoholgehalt eines Getränks in  nach der Formel Alkoholeinheiten = Alkoholgehalt in Volumenprozent · Glasinhalt in Liter  bestimmt werden.

The Baltimore Ravens re-signed quarterback Robert Griffin III to a two-year deal, pending a physical, the team announced Thursday.
Baltimore traded former starter Joe Flacco at the beginning of the new league year, leaving Griffin as the primary backup to youngster Lamar Jackson.
Griffin signed with the Ravens in 2018 and appeared in three games, throwing just six passes. The 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year was out of the league in 2017.

Nadya Kwandibens est une photographe canadienne amérindienne.

Biographie
Nadya Kwandibens est une photographe anichinabée, ce qui signifie peuple originel. Ce peuple appartient au groupe des Ojibwés de la Première Nation canadienne, située dans l'ouest de l'Ontario. Les Ojibwés forment le troisième groupe autochtone le plus important aux États-Unis.

Vivant  à Toronto dans un centre urbain, au milieu d'immeubles, de rues  et de peu d'espaces verts, elle s'interroge sur son identité et se sent déconnectée par rapport à cet environnement urbain. Photographe autodidacte de portraits et d'événements, elle produit une  oeuvre  à la fois artistique et documentaire. Elle  voyage au Canada pendant plus de 10 ans.

Œuvre

Identités autochtones et photographie
En 2008, elle  fonde le studio Red Works Photography qui valorise les modes de vie et les cultures autochtones contemporaines par le biais de photographies, de reportages et de portraits. Elle est spécialisée dans les séances de portraits et de photos en lumière naturelle ainsi que dans la photographie d'événements et de concerts.  déclare Nadia Kwandibens. Elle préfère travailler en lumière naturelle, tirant parti au maximum des possibilités offertes par cette lumière. Red Works propose également des ateliers, des présentations et des produits d'impression.

En 2008 elle commence une série de portraits  intitulée Concrete Indians. La série pose la question : «  Qui êtes-vous en tant qu'Autochtone vivant dans la ville ? il s'agit de renouer avec vous-même et votre culture, de savoir qui vous êtes vraiment ». L'exposition Concrete Indians présente la réflexion de l'artiste à propos des autochtones  et leur  environnement urbain. Dans cette exposition, la photographe s'interroge  sur ce que devient sa propre culture  dans un tel milieu et  elle se demande comment elle  peut conserver son identité autochtone en ville.

De nombreux portraits représentent des personnes en habit traditionnel  dans des  quartiers identifiables des villes du Canada. Plusieurs portraits symbolisent   la solidarité entre les peuples autochtones,  d'autres sont des réflexions personnelles,  tous  sont des affirmations  de la culture et de l'identité autochtones.

Son projet The Red Chair Sessions est centré sur la reconquête des lieux et des langues autochtones, une chaise rouge représentant  le lien avec la terre.

En février 2019,  à travers ses photos elle participe à la campagne nationale de sensibilisation aux enquêtes sur les meurtres et disparitions de femmes autochtones au Canada. Ces photographies  qui  dénoncent  les violences silencieuses dont les femmes sont victimes, elle  les présente dans de nombreuses expositions en Ontario et à travers le Canada.

Le  26 février  2020   elle  donne  une conférence  sur le campus Glendon de  l'Université d'York, la troisième plus grande université du Canada, située à Toronto, Ontario.  Cette conférence est accompagnée d'une exposition de photos  présentée par les étudiants et les étudiantes de Aboriginal people of Canada.

Œuvres principales
 La série de portraits Concrete Indians commencée en 2008  porte sur l'identité autochtone contemporaine . Un grand nombre de ces portraits montrent des personnes en tenue traditionnelle, dans des quartiers très connus de villes canadiennes. Plusieurs traduisent un sens de la solidarité et de l'unité alors que d'autres sont des réflexions et des expressions personnelles , mais tous  ces portraits affirment la force de la culture et de l'identité autochtones par une  réappropriation de leurs espaces .
 Un portrait de groupe de dix avocates, les 10 Indigenous Lawyers, en avril 2012 à Vancouver, exprime la détermination  des femmes autochtones qui défendent les droits des Premières Nations dans le cadre du système judiciaire. Il s'agit de montrer la présence de ces  femmes autochtones dans une profession que l'on croit souvent majoritairement masculine.

Episode 95: Galaxy Clusters: The Largest Structures in the Universe, with Gil Holder
Feature Guest: Gil Holder
Have you heard of the Great Attractor or the Great Wall? The universe evolved from a hot dense not quite perfectly uniform state to now contain galaxies in sheet-like structures separated by huge voids. These clusters and superclusters of galaxies make up the largest scale structure in the observable universe. How exactly did they emerge, what role does dark matter and dark energy play in the evolution of structure and just where is our universe headed? To help us answer those questions today we're joined at The Star Spot by cosmologist Gil Holder.
With the building of the James Webb Space Telescope coming along quickly, Anuj explains how the successor to Hubble will open a new window on the universe? And following the recent 40th anniversary of the Apollo 1 disaster, Tony reflect on three major tragedies in the history of space exploration and reflects on why it's still worth the risk. Finally Dave reports on the groundbreaking discovery of gravitational waves via one of the most powerful phenomena in the universe: binary black hole mergers.
Gil Holder is Canada Research Chair in Cosmological Astrophysics at McGill University and a Scholar at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. Dr. Holder received his PhD from the University of Chicago and was a Keck Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study from 2001 to 2004. His research focuses on unique methods of studying structure formation in the universe.

Each winter, the sky in Rome is the stage for mesmerizing murmurations of millions of starlings. Swirling and ever shape-shifting liquid-like clouds are formed by a myriad of tiny black dots, moving like one single being in an unpredictable, breathtaking and incredibly swift aerial ballet.
Each winter, Rome's Campo Verano, the city's largest cemetery, is the stage for an ear-splitting cacophony as hundreds of thousands of starlings settle in its trees for their communal night roost at sunset. The incessant drizzle of the bird's droppings has submerged the cemetery under a monochrome, air-stifling coat.
Auspicia literally means looking at birds and refers to an ancient Roman practice to determine the gods' consent for major undertakings – even the exact location of Rome was thus determined. Starlings have not always lived in and migrated to Rome. The first reference to them as migrant birds spending the winter is from 1926 and they did not start living in Rome permanently before 1970.
Auspicia by Daniela Friebel looks at flocks of starlings and graves in shrouds, it is a work about unrestricted forms and shapes as well as protection and concealment. Ultimately, it is about the impossibility of control and man's futile and unremitting attempts at exerting it.
Daniela Friebel (b. 1975) is a photographer and conceptual artist based in Berlin, Germany. She holds a diploma in Fine Arts from the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig and a degree in Literature and Linguistics from Humboldt University Berlin.
The exhibition has been selected in the annual open call for exhibitions at Project Space. The Finnish Museum of Photography's Project Space is intended for exhibitions and projects that use photography or other lens-based media as tools for art or research. The space shows stimulating exhibitions by both fresh talents and more established artists.
